在wish后的宾语从句中，动词需要使用虚拟式，基本变化为：①如从句动作先于主句动作发生，从句动词使用过去完成时表达虚拟；②如从句动作与主句动作同时发生，从句动词使用一般过去时表达虚拟；③如果从句动作表示将来不大可能实现的愿望，则使用would/could＋动词原形来表达虚拟。

本题前半句表明wish 后的从句动作发生在主句动作之前，故应使用过去完成时表达虚拟。

达虚拟。

17. B. 本题考查比较结构。

在more…than比较结构中，than为连词，因此要注意than前后的比较成分要保持一致。

本题中than前为完整主谓结构，其后也应为主谓结构或其省略形式，因此可使用South America does 或South America。

但是由于谓语动词does过于简单，为保持句子平衡，一般习为正确选项。

惯于将does前置，形成倒装，故B 为正确选项。

18. D. 本题考查具有“携带”含义的几个动词的用法。

Fetch意为“去拿回来”，bring意为“拿来”，take意为“拿走”。

本题干意思应为“你今天一定要记得从办公室里拿走所有的私人物品。

You should read the materials carefully and do the tasks as you are instructed.Task 1A historic change is taking place in higher education. Professors are being held responsible as never before for how well they serve students. It has become as common in colleges and universities for students to grade professors as for professors to grade students.In fact, student ratings have become the most widely used and, in many cases, the only source of information on teaching effectiveness. In comparing three studies of the same 600 four-year colleges, it was found that the number of colleges using student ratings to evaluate teachers had climbed from 29 per cent to 68 per cent. No other method of evaluation approached that degree of usage, and other studies have found similar results.One reason that student evaluations of teachers have become so popular is that they are easy to administer and to score. But they also are easy to abuse. If they are to shed meaningful light on teacher’s performance, the rating must be used in a way that reflects at least some of what we've learnt about them from research and from experience.Research and experience have shown us, for example, that student ratings should never be the only basis for evaluating teaching effectiveness. There is much more to teaching than what is evaluated on student rating forms. When ratings are used, we know that students should not beexpected to judge whether the materials used in a course are up to date or how well the teacher knows the subject matter of the course. These judgments require professional background and are best left to the professor’s colleagues. On the other hand, students should be asked to estimate what they have learned in a c ourse, and to report on such things as a professor’s ability to communicate at the student’s level, professional behavior in the classroom, relationship with students, and ability to arouse interest in the subject.36. The central idea of the passage is that ___________.A. student ratings are the only source of information on teaching effectivenessB. ratings have become the most widely used source of information on teaching effectivenessC. besides student ratings, there are other methods to evaluate teachersD. student ratings are very popular and should be properly used37. Which statement is true?A. Student evaluations of teachers are popular because they are very accurate.B. In student ratings, students should not be asked questions that require professionalbackground.C. Student ratings can be used under any circumstances.D. All colleges are inclined to use student ratings to evaluate teachers.38. In student ratings all the following questions can be asked except ___________.A. Can the teacher make himself easily understood?B. How does the teacher deal with students?C. Is what is taught new?D. Are students interested in what is taught?39. The sentence in the third paragraph "But they also are easy to abuse" means___________.A. teachers are easy to be misunderstoodB. teachers are easy to be wrongedC. student ratings can easily be put to wrong useD. student ratings can easily be made use to attack teachers40. The word "approach" in paragraph 2 means ___________.A. be more thanB. come nearC. equalD. better thanTask 2Are some people born clever and others born stupid? Or is intelligence developed by our environment and our experiences? Strangely enough, the answer to both these questions is yes. To some extent our intelligence is given us at birth, and no amount of special education can make a genius out of a child born with low intelligence. On the other hand, a child who lives in a boring environment will develop his intelligence less than a child who lives in rich and varied su rroundings. Thus the limits of a person’s intelligence are fixed at birth, but whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment. This view, now held by most experts, can be supported in a number of ways.It is easy to show that intelligence is to some extent something we are born with. The closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are likely to be in intelligence. Thus if we take two unrelated people at random from the population, it is likely that their degrees of intelligence will be completely different. If, on the other hand, we take two identical twins, they will very likely be as intelligent as each other. Relations like brothers and sisters, parents andchildren, usually have similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth.Imagine now that we take two identical twins and put them in different environments. We might send one, for example, to a university and the other to a factory where the work is boring. We could soon find differences in intelligence developing, and this indicates that environment as well as birth plays a part. This conclusion is also suggested by the fact that people who live in close contact with each other, but who are not related at all, are likely to have similar degrees of intelligence.41. The writer is in favor of the view that man's intelligence is given to him___________.A. at birthB. through educationC. both at birth and through educationD. neither at birth nor though education42. If a child is born with low intelligence, he can___________.A. never become a geniusB. still become a genius if he should be given special educationC. exceed his intelligence limits in rich surroundingsD. not reach his intelligence in his life43. In the second paragraph "if we take two unrelated people at random from the population ……" means if we___________.A. pick up any two personsB. choose two persons who are relativesC. take out two different personsD. choose two persons with different intelligence44. The example of the twins going to a university and to a factory separately shows ___________.A. the importance of their intelligenceB. the role of environment on intelligenceC. the importance of their positionsD. the part that birth plays45. The best title of this passage can be___________.A. Dependence on EnvironmentB. IntelligenceC. SurroundingsD. Effect of EducationTask 3The motor vehicle has killed and disabled more people in its brief history than any bomb or weapon ever invented. Much of the blood on the street flows essentially from uncivil behavior of drivers who refuse to respect the legal and moral rights of others. So the massacre on the road may be regarded as a social problem.In fact, the enemies of society on wheels are rather harmless people - just ordinary people acting carelessly, you might say. But it is a principle both of law and common morality that carelessness is no excuse when one’ s actions could bring death or damage to others. A minority of the killers go even beyond carelessness to total negligence.Researchers have estimated that as many as 80% of all automobile accidents can be attributed to the psychological condition of the driver. Emotional upsets can distort drivers’ reactions, slow their judgment, and blind them to dangers that might otherwise be evident. The experts warn that it is vital for every driver to make a conscious effort to keep one's emotions under control.Yet the irresponsibility that accounts for much of the problem is not confined to drivers. Street walkers regularly violate traffic regulations, they at fault in most vehicle-walker accidents, and many cyclists even believe that they are not subject to the basic rules of the road.Significant legal advances have been made toward saver driving in the past few years. Safety standards for vehicle have been raised both at the point of manufacture and through periodic road-worthiness inspections. In addition, speed limits have been lowered. Due to these measures, the accident rate has decreased. But the accident experts still worry because there has been little or no improvement in the way drivers behave. The only real and lasting solution, say the experts, is to convince people that driving is a skilled task requiring constant care and concentration. Those who fail to do all these things present a threat to those with whom they share the road.46. The author's main purpose in writing this passage is ___________.A. to discuss traffic problems and propose possible solutionsB. to promote understanding between street walkers and motor driversC. to prove that motor invention is a very dangerous oneD. to warn the drivers of the importance of safe driving47. According to the passage, traffic accidents may be regarded as a social problem because___________.A. civilization brings much harm to peopleB. people usually pay little attention to law and moralityC. automobiles have become most destructive to mankindD. the lack of virtue is becoming more severe48. The author mentions the psychological condition of the drivers, in order to___________.A. show some of the inaccurate estimations by researchersB. show how important it is for drivers to be emotionally healthyC. give an example to the various reasons for road accidentsD. illustrate the hidden tensions in the course of driving49. Who are NOT mentioned as being responsible for the road accidents?A. Mindless people walking on the road.B. Careless bicycle riders.C. Irresponsible drivers.D. Irresponsible manufacturers of automobiles.50. Which of the following best reflects the author's attitude toward a future without trafficaccident problems?A. Doubtful yet longing for.B. Surprised and very pleased.C. Happy and rather confident.D. Disappointed and deeply worried.Reading Comprehension (2) (5 points, 1 point each)Task 4Directions: In this task, there is a passage with 5 questions (51 through 55). Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions in the fewest possible words. The answer shouldbe written after the corresponding numbers on the Answer Sheet.The first English window was just a slit in the wall. It was cut long, so that it would let in as much light as possible, and narrow, to keep out the bad weather. However, the slit let in more wind than light. This is why it was called "the wind's eye". The word "window" itself comes from two Old Norse words for wind and eye.Before windows were used, the ancient halls and castles of northern Europe and British were dark and smoky. Their great rooms were high, with only a hole in the roof to let out the smoke from torches and cooking fires.As time went on, people wanted more light and air in their homes. They made "the wind's eyes" wider. But to keep out the bad weather, they covered the windows with canvas.51. Why was the first English window cut long?The English window was cut long to ______________________.52. Why was the first English window made narrow?The English window was made narrow to ______________________.53.

You should make the corrected choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.The better defined your hiring process is, the more easily, it will be adhered to. I suggest that you use a multi-stage interviewing process by which the candidate meets with multiple people to provide different opinions and input on the hiring-decision. Again, keep all notes taken during theinterview. These notes should be factual and should detail bservations made by the people conducting the interview as well as quotations of the candidate’s reponses to questions．There should be no inferences made about a candidate in any notes，and no notes should be taken on a resume（简历）．Pre-determine three to six questions that will help you uncover the capability of each applicant and ask those same questions to each person that is interviewed．These initial questions will serve as a departure point to base other follow-up questions on. By using the same question in different ways and you will also be able to draw close com parisons between each candidate’s responses，which will help you determine the best match for the position.Developing that interviewing process a little further, time limits should be set on responses to candidates．Today’s job market changes so rapidly that waiting more than 72 hours to inform a candidate how he or she did in an interview is an eternity（永远）. Many candidates have multiple interviews within one or two days and plan to take the first job offered that meets their salary and benefits demands. Hired or not, as a candidate, it is much easier to keep a positive frame of mind about a company that is responsive, shows an interest in your success as an individual, and provides feedback （反馈）about an interview within one or two days. Waiting to make a decision about candidates is how other companies manage to hire the “perfect fit”right out from under you!26. As for an interview, the author suggests that .A. there should be more than one interviewer in the interviewing processB. only the applicants’ responses to questions should be noted and recorded.C. interviewers should make some notes on the margins of the candidates’ resumesD. interviewers should ask whatever questions that may help decide the perfect fit27.

They give their owners automatic credit in stores, restaurants, and hotels at home, across the country, and -even abroad; and they make many banking services available as well. More and more of these credit cards can be read automatically, making it possible to withdraw or deposit money in scattered-locations, whether or not the local branch bank is .open. For many of us the "cashless society" is not on the `horizon--it's already here.While computers offer these conveniences to consumers, they have many advantages for sellers too. Electronic cash registers can do much more simply ring up sales. They can keep a wide range of records, including who sold what, when, and to whom. This information allows businessmen to keep track of their list of goods by showing which items are being sold :and how fast they are moving. Decisions to reorder or return goods to suppliers can then be made. At the same time these computers record which hours ate busiest and which employees are the most efficient ,allowing. personnel and staffing assignments to be made accordingly. And they also identify preferred customer for promotional campaigns. Computers are relied on by .manufacturers for similar `reasons: Computer-analyzed marketing reports can help to decide which products to emphasize now, -which to develop for the future, and which to drop .Computers keep track of goods in stock, of raw materials on hand, and even. of the production process: itself.Numerous other commercial enterprises, from theaters to magazine publishers, from, gas and electric utilities to milk processors, bring better end more efficient services to consumers through the use of computers.31. According: to the passage, the credit card enables its owner to .A. withdraw as much money from the bank as he wishes.B. obtain more convenient services than other people do.C. enjoy greater trust from the storekeeper.D. cash money wherever he wishes to.32. From the last sentence of the first paragraph we learn that .A. in the future all the Americans will use credit cards.B. credit cards are mainly used in the United States today.C. nowadays many Americans do not pay in cash.D. it is now more convenient to use credit cards than before.33. The phrase "ring up sales" most probably means .A. make an order of goods.B. record sales on a cash register.C. call the sales manager.D. keep track of the goods in stock.34. What is this passage mainly about?A. Approaches to the commercial use of computers.B. Conveniences brought about by computers in business.C. Significance of automation in commercial enterprises.D . Advantage of credit cards in business．35. It can be inferred that .A. computers will bring disaster.B. computer industry will not develop faster.C. computers will bring about more convenience to people's 1ife;．D. computers will replace human beings in the future．Task 3Directions: Read the. following passage．After reading it; you should give brief answers to the 5 questions (No. 36 to No. 40). The answers should bewritten after the corresponding numbers on the Answer Sheet.Although. credit cards are becoming more .acceptable part of the financial scene, they are still regarded with suspicion by many as being a major part of the “live now pay later" syndrome. Along With hire; purchase, rental and leasing schemes, they provide encouragement to spend more money. Of course, it is only the foolhardy who succumb to the temptation to live, temporarily at least; beyond their means, and such people would not doubt manage to do so even without credit cards.Advertising campaigns have, however, promoted a growing realization of the advantages of these small pieces of plastic. They obviate the need to carry large. amounts of cash and are always useful in emergencies. All the credit card organizations charge interest on a monthly basis which may work out as high as 25 percent a year, yet judicious purchasing using a card can mean that you obtain up to seven weeks interest free credit. Using the card abroad where items frequently take a long time to be included on your account can extend the period even further.It is worthwhile shopping around before deciding on particular credit card. I t’s necessary to consider the amount of credit granted interest rates which may vary slightly the number and range of outlets though most cards cover major garages, hotels, restaurants and departments stores and of course what happens if your card is lost or stolen. A credit card thief may be sitting on a potential gold mine particularly if there is delay in reporting the loss of the card.However, if used wisely, a credit card can cost nothing or at least help to tide you over a period of financial difficulty.36. Many people suspect that credit cards lure people to .37. The author seems to believe that even in the absence of credit cards, some people would undoubtedly .38. In Para. 2, in addition to the advantages of no need to carry cash and being usefulin emergency, what else is said to be the advantage of credit cards?.39. What’s the main i dea of Para 3？40. The author holds a attitude towards credit cards.Task 4Directions：Read the following passage and complete the outline below it (No．41 through No. 45).Y ou should write your answers briefly on the answer sheet correspondingly.During the holiday break, I finally got around to a promise I made to my mom and dad—to remotely access their PC—to help troubleshoot problems or questions they have about their Dell laptop.A while ago, I download GoToMyPC on my, computer, which allows you to access your computer from any other computer. The other day, my mom logged into my account, which brought her to a "My Computers" page of a three-PC account. She clicked on "enable this computer," to install the GoToMyPC software. Within minutes, I saw her computer listed on the" My Computers" page; clicked on it, and her computer home page popped up in a. window on my screen.They're in Florida, I’m in New Jersery, but I could easily replace a toolbar that disappeared from their screen and desktop icons my mom wished she hadn’t cleared away.I also like that I'll be .able to do some basic maintenance on their computer from my home hundreds of miles away. And if my mom has questions, we can be looking at her computer together while on the phone.GoToMyPC costs $20 a month for one computer, or $179.40 a year. Two PCs cost $30 a month or $279.40. For each additional PC, it’s $15 a month or $135 a year. But reader and Chris Null have also recommended a free application, Microsoft Windows Remote Desktop; which is part of Windows XP Professional and Media Center.Y ou need to manually type in the IP address of the host computer. Here’s the Microsoft instructions page if you want to check out this option.Other reader suggested another free app, LogMeIn, which gets good reviews for providing remote access and file sharing between computers．If you’ve used either free remote access option, let us know how it's worked out．Technology ReviewThe first device reviewed: 41Functions of the first device:a)enables one to 42 of another PC remotely;b)allows one to access one’s computer from elsewhere;c)enables basic maintenance from a distance.Cost of the first decice to be installed in 3 PCs: 43Difference between the other two devices recommended and the first one:They’r e 44Reviews are still needed from reader about 45Part IV Translation from English into Chinese46．Some people would like to do shopping on Sundays since they expect to pick up wonderful bargains.A．有些人愿意周日逛街，因为他们觉得这样能够检到大便宜。

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Y ou are required to choose the ONE that best fits into the statement. Mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.Passage1Questions45-50 are based on the following passage.There was a time when, if a lady got into a crowded bus or train, a gentleman would immediately stand up and offer her his seat. Today a gentleman will probably look out of the window or hide behind his newspaper. Either way, the lady will have to stand until someone gets off.Y ou can’t entirely blame men for these changes in manners .Te days are gone when women could be treated as the weaker sex. A whole generation of women has grown up demanding equality with men; not just equality in jobs or education, but in social attitudes. Hold a door open for some doors for themselves. Take a girl out for a meal and she’ll probably insist on paying her share of the bill.It’s no wonder, then, that men have given up some of the gestures of politeness and consideration which they used to show towards women. On the other hand, man’s politeness is perhaps slowly being replaced by more consideration for the needs and feelings of women, so that men can see women as equal human beings.46. What will gentlemen nowadays do when a lady gets on a crowded bus or train?A. They will stand up reluctantly.B. They willC. They willD. They will47. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A.

Why are some women likely to get angry as a man holds the door open for them?A. Because they think they are looked down upon.B. Because they are treated too politely.C. Because the man should not hold the door open.D. Because men often offend women in this manner.49. What is replacing men’s gestures of politeness?A. More graceful politeness towards women.B. More consideration for women’s needs and feelings.C. More impolite gestures of social behavior to women.D. More equal treatment to women in every respect.50. What can we learn form this passage?A. Men ought to make gestures of politeness towards women.B. Women ought to make gestures of politeness towards men.C. Women have achieved equality with men.D. Men are beginning to treat women as equal human beings.Passage 2Questions51-55 are based on the following passage.With the growth of the information Superhighway, a logical development in the job searching process is the electric resume.

This is the research result of Professor Faulkner, who says that most of our brains are not getting enough exercise and as a result, we are ageing unnecessarily soon.Professor Faulkner wanted to find out why wealthy farmers in northern Japan appeared to be losing their ability to think and to reason at relatively early age, and how the process of ageing could be slowed down.He set about measuring brain volumes of a thousand people of different ages and occupations.Computer technology enabled him to obtain precise measurements of the volume of the front and side sections of the brain, which relate to intelligence and emotion, and determine the human character.Contraction of front and side parts---as cells die off---was observed in some subjects in their thirties, but it was still not evident in some sixty and seventy-years-olds.Faulkner concluded from his tests that there is a simple way to slow the contraction---using the head.The findings show that contraction of the brain begins sooner in people in the country than in the towns. Those least at risk, says Faulkner, are lawyers, followed by university professors and doctors. Whit-collar workers doing routine work are, however, as likely to have shrinking brains as the farm workers, bus drivers and shop assistants.Faulkner’s findings show that thinking can prevent the brain from shrinking. Blood must circulate properly in the head to supply the fresh oxygen the brain cells need “The best way to maintain good blood circulation is through using the brain,” he says. “Think hard and engage in conversation. Don’t rely on pocket calculators”.61.

It has become as common in colleges and universities for students to grade professors as for professors to grade students.In fact, student ratings have become the most widely used and, in many cases , the only source of information on teaching effectiveness.In comparing three studies of the same 600 four—year colleges, it was found that the number of colleges using student rating to evaluate teachers had climbed from 29 per cent to 68 per cent. No other method of evaluation approached that degree of usage ,and other studies have found similar results.One reason that student evaluation of teachers have become so popular is that they are easy to adiminister and to score. But they also are easy to abuse. If they are to shed meaningful light on teacher’s performance, the rating must be used in a way that reflects at least some of what we’ve learnt about them from reseach and from experience.Research and experience have shown us, for example, that student ratings should never be the only basis for evaluating teaching effectiveness. There is much more to teaching than what is evaluates on student rating forms. When ratings are used, we know that students should not be expected to judge whether the materials used in a course are up to date or how well the teacher knows the subject matter of the course. These judgments require professional background and are best left to the professor’s colleagues. On the other hand , students should be asked to estimate what they have learned in a course, and to report on such things as a professor’s ability to communicate at the student’s level, professional behavior in the classroom, relationship with students, and ability to arouse interest in the subject.36.The central idea of the passage is that_____.A.student rating are the only source of information on teaching effectiveness.B.rating have become the most widely used source of information on teaching effectivenessC.besides student ratings, there are other methods to evaluate teachersD.student ratings are very popular and should be properly used37.Which statement is true?A.Student evaluations of teachers are popular because they are very accutate.B.In student ratings, students should not be asked questions that require professional background.C.Student ratings can be used under any circumstances.D.All colleges are inclined to use student ratings to evaluate teachers.38. In student ratings all the following questions can be asked except___ .A.Can the teacher make himself easily understood?B.How does the teacher deal with students?C.Is what is taught new?D.Are students interested in what is taught?39.The sentence in the third paragraph “But they also are easy to abuse”means_____ .A. teachers are easy to misunderstood .B. teachers are easy to wrongedC.student ratings can easily be put to wrong useD.student ratings can easily be made use to attack teachers40. The word “approach” in paragraph 2 means___ .A. be more thane nearC.equalD.better thanTask 2Are some people born clever, and others borned stupid? Or is intelligence developed by our environment and our experiences? Strangely enough, the answer to both these question is yes. To some extent our intelligence is given us at birth, and no amount of special education can make a genius out of a child born with low intelligence. On the other hand, a child who lives in a boring environment will develop his intelligence less than a child who lives in a rich and varied surroundings. Thus the limits of a person’s intelligence fixed at birth, but whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment.This view now held by most experts, can be supported in a number of ways.It is easy to show the intelligence is to some extent something we are born with. The closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are likely to be in intelligence. Thus if we take two unrelated people at random from the population, it is likely that their degrees of intelligence will be completely different. If, on the other hand , we take two identical twins, they will very likely be as intelligence as each other. Relations like brothers and sisters, parents and children, usually have similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth.Imagine now that we take two identical twins and put them into different environments. We might send one, for example, to a universityand the other to a factory where the work is boring. We could soon find the difference in intelligence developing, and this indicates that environment as well as birth plays a part. This conclusions is also suggested by the fact that people who lives in close contact with each other, but who are not related at all, are likely to have similar degrees of intelligence.41.The writer is in favor of the view that man’s intelligence is given to him____.A. at birthB. through educationC .both at birth and through educationsD. neither at birth nor through educations.42. If a child is born with low intelligence, he can_____.A. never become a geniusB. still become a genius if he should be given special educationC. Exceed his intelligence limits in rich surroundingsD. not reach his intelligence in his life43. In the second paragraph “if we take two unrelated people at random from the population…..”means “if we ____ .”A. pick up any two personsB.choose two persons who are relativesC.take out two different personsD.choose two persons with different intelligence44.The example of the twinsgoing to a university and a factory separately shows____ .A.the importance of their intelligenceB.the role of environment on intelligenceC.the importance of their positionsD.the part that birth plays45.The best title of this passage can be____ .A.Development on environmentB.IntelligenceC.SurroundingsD.Effect of EducationTask 3The motor vihecle has killed and disabled more people in his brief history than any homb or weapon ever invented. Much of the blood on the street flows essentially from uncivil behavior of drivers who refuse to respect the legal and moral rights of others. So the massacre on the road may be regarded as a social problem.In fact, the enemies of society on wheels are rather harmless people – just ordinary people acting carelessly, you might say. But it is a principle both of law and common morality that carelessness is no excuse when one ’ s actions could bring death or damage to others. A minority of the killers go even beyond carelessness to total negligence.Researchers have estimated that as many as 80﹪of all automobile accidents can be attributed to the psychological condition of the driver. Enotional upsets can distort drivers ’reactions , slow their judgment , and blind them to dangers that might otherwise be evident. The eoperts warn that it is vital for every driver to make a conscious effort to keep one ’ s emotions under control.Yet the irresponsibility that accounts for much of the problem is not confined to drivers. Street walkers regularly violate traffic regulations , they at fault in most vehicle-walker accidents , and many cyclists even believe that they are not subject to the basic rules of the road.Significant legal advances have been made toward saver driving in the past few years. Safety standards for vehicle have been raised both at the opoint of manufacture and through periodic road-worthiness inspections. In addtion, speed limits have been lowered, Due to these measures, the accident rate has decreased. But the accident experts still worry because there has beenlittle or no improvement in the way drivers behave. The only real and lasting solution, say the experts, is to convince people that driving is a skilled task requiring constant care and concentration. Those who fail to do all these things present a threat to those with whom they share the road.46.The author’s main purpose in writing this passage is_.A.to discuss traffic problems and propose possible solution.B.to promote understanding between street walkers and motors drivers.C.to prove that motor invention is a very dangerous one.D.to warn the drives of the importance of safe drive.47.According to the passage, traffic accidents may be regarded as a social problem because _.A.civilization bring much harm to people.B. people usually pay little attention to law and morality.C.automobiles have become most destructive to mankind.D.the lack of virtue is becoming more severe.48. The author mentions the psychological condition of the drivers, in order to _.A.show some of the inaccurate estimations by researchers.B.show how important it is for drivers to be emotionally heathy.C.give an example so the various reasons for road accidents.D.illustrate the hidden tensions in the course of driving.49.Who are not mentioned as being responsible for the road accidents.A.Mindless people walking on the road.B.Careless bicycle riders.C.Irresponsible drivers.D.Irresponsible manufacturers of automobiles.50.Which of the following best reflectsor the author’s attitude toward a future without traffic accident problems?A.Doubltful yet longing for.B.Surprised and very pleased.C.Happy and rather confident.D.Disappointed and deeply worried.Reading Comprehension(2)(5 points,1 point each)Task 4Directions:In this task,there is a passage with 5 questions(51 through 55).Read the passage carefully.Then answer the questions in the fewest possible words.The answer should be written after the corresponding numbers on the Answer Sheet.The first English window was just a slit in the wall. It was cut long , so that it would let in as much light as possible , and narrow, to keep out the bad weather. However , the slit let in more wind than light. This is why it was called “ the wind’s eye”. The word “ window” itself comes from two Old Norse words from wind and eye.Before windows were used , the ancient halls and castles of northern Europe and British were dark and smoky . Their great rooms were high , with only a hole in the roof to let out the smoke from torches and cooking fires.As time went on, people wanted more light and air in their homes. They made “the wind’seyes”wider. But to keep out the bad weather, they covered the windows with canvas.51.
