Reading Comprehension（50分）阅读4片，样题提供前三篇Directions: There are 4 passages in this part, each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them, there are four choices marked A, B, C, and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage OneLearning how to write is like taking a course in publicspeaking. I’d ask whether anyone in class had ever taken such a course. Invariably a few hands would go up.“What did you learn in that course?” I’d ask.“Well, the main thing was learning how to f ace an audience…not to be inhibited (拘谨；抑制)…not to be nervous…”Exactly, when you take a course in public speaking nowadays, you don’t hear much about grammar and vocabulary. Instead, you’re taught how not tobe afraid or embarrassed, how to speak without a prepared script, how to reach out to the live audience before you. Public speaking is a matter of overcoming your longstanding nervous inhibitions.It is the same in writing. The point of the whole thing is to overcome your nervous inhibitions, to break through the invisible barrier that separates you from the person who’ll read what you wrote. You must learn to sit in front of your typewriter or dictating machine and reach out to the person at the other end of the line.Of course, in public speaking, with the audience right in front of you, the problem is easier. You can look at them and talk to them directly. In writing, you’re alone. It needs an effort of your experience or imagination to take hold of that other person and talk to him or her. But tha t effort is necessary or at least it’s necessary until you’ve reached the point when you quite naturally and unconsciously “talk on paper.”4l. The main task of a public speech course is to ________.A. teach spoken-language experienceB. teach how to use gestures to assist speechC. help the learners overcome nervousnessD. teach how to control the volume of the speaker’s voice42. Learning how to write is similar to learning how to speakin publicin that a writer should ___________.A. overcome his or her nervousness in the first placeB. watch his or her grammar and vocabularyC. collect a lot of data before writingD. take hold of a reader and talk to him or her before writing43. In the author’s opinion, _________.A.writing needs more experience and skill than public speakingB.both writing and public speaking require effortC.writing is imaginativeD.public speaking is not so natural as writing44. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A.Not many students feel the need to learn public speaking.B.Training is necessary before you can speak with script.C.In public speaking, the audience are more nervous than the speaker.D.Writing is just like making a public speech on paper.45. This selection is mainly about learning how to _______.A.make a public speechB.talk on paperC.behave properly in public speechD.express strong emotion on paperPassage TwoIn the modern technological world the sea offers many resources to help mankind survive. Resources on land are beginning to grow less. The sea, however, still offers hope to supply many of man’s needs.The riches of the sea yet to be developed by man’stechnology are i mpressive. Oil and gas explorations have existed for nearly thirty years. Valuable amounts of minerals such as iron, nickel and copper and so on exist on the ocean floor, ready to be mined.Fish farming promises to be a good way to produce large quantities of food. The culture of fish and shellfish is an ancient skill practiced in the past mainly by Oriental peoples.Besides oil and gas, the sea may offer new sources of energy. Experts believe that the warm temperature of the ocean can be used in a way similar to the steam in a steamship. Ocean currents and waves offer possible use as a source of energy such as hydroelectric power.Technology is enabling man to explore ever deeper under the sea. The new undersea technology is providing divers with diving suits and undersea chambers that are kept at sea level pressure. The development of strong, newmaterials has made this possible.The technology to harvest the sea continues to improve. By the year 2000, experts believe that the problems to exploit the food, minerals, and energy sources of the sea will be largely solved.46. What is the best title for the passage?A. Needs of ManB. Sources of EnergyC. Sea HarvestD. Sea ExploringTechnology47. According to the author, technology for exploring the sea is important because______.A.man cannot travel farther into spaceB. resources on land arerunning shortC.it’s a l ot of fun diving into the seaD. ancient peopleused to explore the sea48. Why does the author mention a steamship?A.To indicate that it is warmer in the ocean than on land.B.To show that a steamship is better than other kinds of ship.C.To argue that man should use steamships more than other meansof transportation.D.To illustrate that man can make use of sources of energy fromthe sea.49. It can be inferred from the passage that_______.A.man hasn’t completely developed the riches of the seaB.technology for exploring the sea has been solvedC.planting rice in the sea will be made possible in a short timeD.in the near future man can live on the ocean floor50. The word “exploit”in the last paragraph could best be replaced by________.A.evaluateB. developC. gatherD. scatterPassage ThreeYour passport is your official identification as an American citizen. In America, most people never consider obtaining a passport unless they are planning a trip out of the country. InEurope, where travel from one country to another is much more common, almost everyone carries a passport. A passport is the final proof of identity in almost every county in the world.In l979 almost l5 million Americans held passports. Most of these passports were obtained to travel outside the country because, except for a few Western nations, passports are required to enter every country. And if you travel abroad, you must have a valid passport to reenter the country.When traveling abroad, you will need a passport for identification when exchanging dollars for francs or marks or other foreign currency. You may also need your passport to use a credit card, buy an airplane ticket or check into a hotel. As a passport is an official U.S. document, it is valuable as identification in any emergency overseas, such as floods, fires or war. Don’t confuse passports and visas. Whereas a passport is issued by a country to its citizens, a visa is official permission to visit a country granted by the government of that country. For some years, many countries were dropping their visa requirements, but that trend has reversed. Argentina, Brazil, and Venezuela now require visas from U.S. citizens. They may be obtained from the embassy of the country you wish to visit.Passport applications are available at passport agency offices in large cities like Boston, New York, or Chicago. In smaller cities, applications are available at post offices and at federal courts. T o get your first passport, you must submit the application in person, along with a birth certificate and two pictures.5l. The main purpose of this passage is to___________.A. discuss traveling in other countriesB. distinguish between passports and visasC. discuss the financial uses of a passportD. provide information about passports52. Passports are beneficial for___________.A. exchanging currencyB. using a credit cardC. checking into hotelsD. all of the above53. We can conclude from the passage that_________.A. every country requires a visa from a foreign citizenB. not every country requires a visa from a foreign citizenC. only countries like Argentina, Brazil, and Venezuela now requirevisas from U.S. citizensD. passports are obtained at the embassy once you enter a country54. The passage suggests that_________.A. m ost people don’t realize how important passports areB. passports aren’t important once you are in the country you’ve chosento visitC. passports are simple to obtain through the mailD. passports are obtained at the embassy once you enter a country55. As used in this passage, the word “valid” in the second paragraph means__________.A. foreignB. legalC. monetaryD. illegalIII．Cloze (20分)Directions:There are 20 blanks in the following passage.

Each passage is followed by a number of comprehension questions. Read the passages and choose the best answer to each question. Then, mark your answer by blackening the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.20 As we recently discovered, there is a Stepmother's Day, though it is not on any official holiday calendar. So, it would be safe to assume that there is a similar day for stepdads, too. Right? Well, it depends on what you read. A Google search brought up posts that say, for example, " It's on father's day—father's day is for fathers, step - fathers and people who are like fathers to you—it's a day for making father figures feel special. " Further searching found a Stepfather's Day Facebook page that says, "The unofficial Stepfather's Day is the fourth Sunday of June. " Unfortunately, as of the publishing of this article, only 30 people have " liked" the page. Considering that studies show 3. 3 million men, or 11. 1% of U. S. fathers, live with at least one stepchild, that's only a drop in the ocean.It's interesting to note that there is a National Grandparents'Day. President Jimmy Carter signed it into law in 1978. Law! While grandparents are undoubtedly special people in our children's lives, they are often seen as the most loving family members. But what about the stepparents? The stepparents are the ones who are often the outsiders, the ones who have to endure the hurtful"You're not my dad!"or"You're not my mom!"And yet they never give up. They do their best to overcome the <u>inherent</u> challenges of stepparents and be role models for their stepchildren. These unsung (未被颂扬的) family heroes deserve "official "days of honor. Perhaps if we are loud enough, President Obama,who had a stepfather himself, will sign into law National Stepmother's Day and National Stepfather's Day.Are you with me? Follow me and get your voice heard. How cool it would be if we could make this happen!21 What does the underlined word" that" in Paragraph 1 refer to?（A）11. 1% of U. S. fathers who live with at least one stepchild in the U. S.（B）3. 3 million men who live with at least one stepchild in the world.（C）Father figures who are equally honored in the U. S.（D）30 people who support Stepfather's Day on the Facebook page.22 What did President Jimmy Carter sign into law in 1978?（A）The National Stepchildren's Day.（B）The National Stepparents'Day.（C）The National Grandparents'Day.（D）The National Grandchildren's Day.23 Which of the following is closest in meaning to the word" inherent" in Paragraph 2? （A）Inevitable.（B）Lasting.（C）Unbelievable.（D）Tough.24 What is the reason for setting an official holiday for stepparents?（A）Because they are often seen as the most loving family members.（B）Because they deserve respect and honor as family members.（C）Because they love their role as stepparents.（D）Because they are often treated as heroes in the family.24 Most students choose " Homestay" accommodation when they study abroad: others select Home-stay even if they are not on a study visit. Statistics show that it's a form of accommodation gaining in popularity all the time.But what is Homestay? And what makes it so popular?Homestay means living with a family, or "host family" as we say. There are three ways of doing it:choose to learn English in a language school near to your Homestay location:have your English classes in the house with a member of the family who is a qualified teacher:select not to have classes at all when you visit—a popular choice if you want to do the tourist thing for example.Even in their busy summer period the organizations that arrange the Homestays will always try to place you with the most suitable host family to match your requirements. Placement (安置 ) organizations think about location, interests, language level, eating requirements, allergies (过敏) and other requests you may have.Though prices vary according to your needs, good quality Homestay accommodation can be relatively economical—and although you may be charged an extra amount of money if you want your Homestay in or near the city centre. Even if you stay further out, you can expect your journey into the centre not to exceed 30 minutes.Not only does Homestay accommodation represent value for money, it also gives you an excellent opportunity to practise English with your host family. This is a very important extra for students who like to speak as much English as possible. But if you plan to learn English, why not have your English classes in your host family? There's no better way to learn English than this—the perfect combination of learning and accommodation combined with the cultural experience !25 Homestay is an ideal choice for students who______.（A）want to learn statistics（B）plan to study overseas（C）plan to visit relatives（D）want to stay at home26 Who will consider students' requirements before their Homestay starts?（A）The language school.（B）The host family.（C）The English teacher.（D）The placement organization.27 Which of the following is a key factor affecting the price of Homestay?（A）Students' specific needs.（B）Students' language level.（C）Nationality of the host family.（D）Eating habits of the host family.28 What can be inferred from the passage?（A）The author finds Homestay accommodation expensive.（B）The author finds Homestay arrangement complicated.（C）The author is in favor of Homestay accommodation.（D）The author is doubtful about the safety of Homestay.28 Using less energy around the home is easier than you might think, saving your money while creating a healthier, more comfortable living space for you and your family. Changing a few old habits can make an impact on your energy bill, your comfort and theenvironment. Here are some handy tips to make your house more energy-efficient. Lower the heatIf your home has adjustable central heating, lowering the room temperature even slightly can make a difference. You may not feel it, but your wallet will. It is even more advisable to control temperatures at different times of the day. Hang clothes out to dryIf the weather allows it, head outside and dry your laundry on a clothesline. The sunlight will help eliminate bacteria and dust. While clothes dryers get the job done faster, they also use up energy. By hanging your clothes out you'll be cutting greenhouse gases by about three kilograms per load. Take advantage of natural lightInstalling large windows on the northern side of your house can help you make use of sunlight's natural warmth. To stay cool indoors on hot summer days, install blinds(百叶窗) to block the heavy sun. Put your desk near the window, then you don't need a lamp in the daytime. Wrap (裹) your pipesBe sure your hot-water pipes are properly wrapped. In an average home, heating water accounts for more than one-quarter of the energy bill. Why let warmth go to waste before it reaches you? Choose the right size for appliances (家用电器)When the time comes to replace appliances, select those that are both energy-efficient and of the appropriate size for your needs.

I've been married for years, but until six months ago, I couldbe a typical absent-minded husband. Often I was just nodding when I was supposed to. When my wife asked, <u>" Did you even hear what I just said?"</u>I would defensively say, " Of course I did!"In January, I began to lose my voice. Doctors told me I needed surgery, or my throat would be permanently damaged. Total silence would be required for the first few weeksof my recovery.Two hours after the surgery, my eyes filled with tears as my two—year—old son looked puzzled because I wouldn't answer his questions. I wanted to talk but couldn't. Luckily, I'd recorded myself reading some of his favorite books. That would come in handy the next couple of weeks.When I got home, I noriced a"side effect" : as my wife talked to me to keep up my spirits, I wasn't just hearing her: I was listening to her. Over the next few weeks, I didn't want to miss a word she said. I began to hear sweetness in her voice. It had never left. I'd just stopped noticing. I found myself understanding her better on topics I'd previouslydismissed as" things I just don't get as a guy". I also realized my son wasn't just talking nonstop but that he often had thoughtful things to say. Even while walking my dog in the woods near our home, I began hearing pleasant patterns in birdsongs. Before my surgery, I'd have spent those walks on my phone.After several weeks, I was fully recovered. Conversation in our house is better now, not because I'm talking more. I'm just listening better and becoming less and less surprised that I like what I hear.33 According to the passage, the author is most likely a______.（A）journalist（B）doctor（C）driver（D）teacher34 What does the wife mean by asking" Did you even hear what I just said?" in Paragraph 1 ?（A）You didn't have to nod while you were listening.（B）You should tell me what I said iust now.（C）You should listen to me.（D）You didn't want to talk with me.35 What is true of the author after the surgery?（A）He was unwilling to talk to his wife.（B）He was unable to communicate with his son.（C）He was required to keep silent for the first few months.（D）He was worried about his recovery after the surgery.36 What did the author realize after the surgery?（A）His dog liked pleasant birdsongs.（B）His son didn't like talking.（C）His wife was a talkative woman.（D）His house was full of pleasant talks.36 Coconut(椰子)is an unusual food for many reasons. It is one of the largest<u>edible</u> seeds produced by any plant. Its unusual contents also make it unique in the seed world—it consists of both" meat" and" water" inside. The coconut meat is the white substance with which we are all familiar, as it is used extensively for cooking and flavorings: the coconut water is a white and sweet liquid.Portuguese (葡萄牙的) explorers gave the nut its name in the 15th century, referring to it as coco , meaning" ghost" in their language. The outside appearance of coconuts reminded them of a ghost's face, and the tree has had that name ever since.The coconut has varied uses. It is used to make various cooking oils for fast-food restaurants around the world to make diet materials. The coconut fluid is a favorite drink in hot climates, providing a cool and refreshing beverage fight off the tree. This water is also used by manufacturers of various sports drinks. Even the shell itself has many uses, including animal food and fertilizer.Yet the coconut is also useful in many ways that have nothing to do with food. Coconut oil is used for cosmetics(化妆品) , medicines, and so on. Dried coconut shells are used in many countries as a tool for shining wood floors. The shells are also used for shirt buttons, and are commonly found on Hawaiian clothing. They are even used for musical instruments and bird houses.And all these are only some of the uses found for the coconut fruit. The coconut tree, which produces the nut, also produces many useful things. It's no wonder that the coconut tree has been taken as"the tree of life".37 What does the underlined word "edible "in Paragraph 1 mean?（A）Eatable.（B）Available.（C）Visible.（D）Collectible.38 The coconut got its name because of______. （A）its round shape（B）its ghostlike appearance（C）its hard shell（D）its white color39 What is the passage mainly about?（A）Types of coconut seeds.（B）The discovery of coconut.（C）The history of coconut.（D）Uses of coconut.40 What can be learned from the passage? （A）Coconut fluid can become fertilizer. （B）Coconut trunks are houses for birds. （C）Coconut trees are useful plants.（D）Coconut oil is rare and expensive.四、Part IV ClozeDirections: There are some blanks in the following passages.

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked marked A. B, C and D. You should decide on the best ONE and mark the corresponding letter on the ANSWER SHEET. Questions 51—55 are based on the following passage ：Have you ever wondered why different animals or pests (昆虫) have their particular colors? Colors in them seem to be used mainly to protect themselves.Birds, especially seagulls, are very fond of locusts (蝗虫). But birds cannot easily catch locusts because locusts change their colors along with the change of the colors of crops. When crops are green, locusts look green. But when crops are ripe, locusts take on exactly the same brown color as crops have. Some other pests with different colors from plants are usually easily found and eaten by their enemies. So they have to hide themselves in terror for lives and appear only at night.If you study the animal life in any part of the world, you will find the main use of coloring is to protect themselves. Bears, wolves and other beasts move quietly through forests. They are usually invisible (看不见的)to the hunters’eyes. because they have the colors much like the barks of trees(树皮).An even stranger act remains to be noticed. A kind of fish living in seas can send out a kind of very black liquid when it faces danger. While the liquid spreads over, its enemies cannot find it, and it immediately swims away. Thus, it has existed (存在)up to now though it is not powerful at all.51.

But if you want to read an E-book, you must have an E-book Reader (阅读器), which is a kind of free software used by your computer. Make sure you have installed(安装)the appropriate Reader before you download an E-book from the Internet. The software allows you to turn the words on the screen into the size you like.

Some E-books are even interactive! Best of all, when you order an E-book, there is no waiting and no shipping charges(运费).

The passage is mainly about__________.A. a better way to write an E-bookB. a new kind of books—E-booksC. the new version of E-booksD. the trouble of reading E-booksQuestions 61—65 are based on the following passage ：Greek soldiers sent messages by turning their shields(盾)toward the sun. The flashes reflecting light could be seen several miles away. The enemies did not know what the flashes meant, but Greek soldiers could understand the messages.Roman soldiers in some places built long rows of signal towers. When they had a message to send, the soldiers shouted it from tower to tower. If there were enough towers and enough soldiers with loud voices, important news could be sent quickly over distance.In Africa, people learned to send messages by beating on a series of large drums(鼓). Each drum was kept within hearing distance of the next one. The drum beats were sent out in a special way that all the drummers understood. Though the messages were simple, they could be sent at great speed for hundreds of miles.In the eighteenth century, a French engineer found a new way to send short messages. In this way, a person held a flag in each hand and the arms were moved to various positions representing different letters of the alphabet. It was like spelling out words with flags and arms.Over a long period of time, people sent messages in these different ways. However, not until the telephone was invented in America in the nineteenth century could people send speech sounds over a great distance in just a few seconds.61.

Each passage is followed by some questions or incomplete statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and then mark the corresponding letter on the ANSWER SHEET.Passage OneUndoubtedly, leading a low-carbon lifestyle is a popular trend in modern society, where a considerable number of individuals begin to undertake the responsibility to protect the environment. One of my Chinadialogue colleagues in Beijing recently bought a Philips energy-saving light bulb to replace a standard one. He was happy with his choice. It may have cost 30 Yuan (just under 4.50 dollars)—ten times the price of a filament (灯丝) bulb—but he wanted to save energy as part of his low-carbon lifestyle. And according to the shopkeeper, he would save, in the long run, much more than the 30 Yuan he was spending. Yet only one month later, his expensive light bulb blew up, before he had saved even a small part of the purchase price. Will he stick to his high-cost,low-carbon lifestyle?China's environmental organizations have started to advocate low-carbon lifestyles and the decrease of carbon footprints to help fight against climate change. But they have overlooked one fact: in China, low-carbon living comes at a high cost.It means buying energy-saving bulbs and appliances, and environmentally friendly building materials and daily goods. Cost can no longer be the only standard for purchases. An energy-saving and environmentally friendly product is more expensive than a standard alternative—whether it's a simple light bulb or the house it shines. For average consumers, even buying an ordinary house is a huge burden. How can we persuade ordinary people to choose an energy-saving residence? This is not a trend they can afford to follow; perhaps this fashion is only for the rich.Most consumers today do not cause huge carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. Their responsibility lies not in choosing a low-carbon lifestyle today, but in avoiding a high-carbon life in the future. The principle of "common but differentiated responsibility" —a basis of sustainable development—can be applied here as well.In China, low-carbon living is still resisted by a lack of social infrastructure. Even if your salary allows you to make that choice, nobody is there to help you accomplish it. Many so-called energy-saving buildings are even more energy-hungry than the average home.31、 What may probably be the best title of this passage?A. To purchase a cheap bulb—your wise alternative.B. To choose an energy-saving residence—a must of your life.C. To live a low-carbon lifestyle—a promising but difficult purpose.D. To live a low-carbon lifestyle—each citizen's responsibility.32、 Why did the writer's colleague get an energy-saving light bulb?A. He wanted to save some money.B. He wanted to try living his low-carbon lifestyle.C. He was asked to do so by some organizations.D. He wanted to use a more powerful light bulb.33、 The underlined phrase "blew up", in paragraph 2, is closest in meaning to ______.A. improved a lotB. saved much energyC. got outdatedD. broke down34、 We can infer from the passage that ______.A. using energy-saving bulbs and appliances is a fashionB. not all citizens have the same responsibility—live a low-carbon lifestyleC. it's difficult for most Chinese to try to live a low-carbon lifestyleD. Chinese families cannot afford to purchase an energy-saving residence35、 What is the writer's attitude towards the low-carbon lifestyle?A. supportive but cautiousB. optimistic and entertainingC. negative but wiseD. positive and active Passage TwoAccording to certain research, highway crashes can he cut by optical illusion(错觉).Japan is a case in point. It has reduced automobile crashes on some roads by nearly 75 percent using a simple optical illusion. Bent stripes, called chevrons(人字形), painted on the roads make drivers think that they are driving faster than they really are, and thus drivers slow down.Now the American Automobile Association Foundation for Traffic Safety in Washington D.C. is planning to repeat Japan's success. Starting next year, the foundation will paint chevrons and other patterns of stripes on selectedroads around the country to test how well the patterns reduce highway crashes. Excessive speed plays a major role in as much as one fifth of all fatal traffic accidents, according to the foundation. To help reduce those accidents, the foundation will conduct its tests in areas where speed-related hazards are the greatest—curves, exit slopes, traffic circles, and bridges.Some studies suggest that straight, horizontal bars painted across roads can initially cut the average speed of drivers in half. However, traffic often returns to full speed within months as drivers become used to seeing the painted bars.Chevrons, scientists say, not only give drivers the impression that they are driving faster than they really are but also make a lane appear to be narrower. The result is a longer lasting reduction in highway speed and the number of traffic accidents.36、 Drivers tend to feel that ______ on roads painted with chevrons.A. they should avoid speed-related hazardsB. they are driving in the wrong laneC. they are approaching the speed limitD. they should slow down their speed37、 The advantage of chevrons over straight, horizontal bars is that the former ______.A. will have a longer effect on driversB. can cut road accidents in halfC. can keep drivers awakeD. will look more attractive38、 The American Automobile Association Foundation for Traffic Safety plans to ______.A. replace straight, horizontal bars with chevronsB. change the road signs across the countryC. try out the Japanese method in certain areasD. repeat the Japanese road patterns39、 What does the author say about straight, horizontal bars painted across roads?A. They are falling out of use in the United States.B. They tend to be ignored by drivers in a short period of time.C. They are applicable only on broad roads.D. They cannot be applied successfully to traffic circles.40、 The passage mainly discussesA. a new type of optical illusionB. a new pattern for painting highwaysC. a new approach to training driversD. a new way of highway speed controlPassage ThreeAs well as peers of my generation, I have a weakness for hero worship. At some point, however, we all begin to question our heroes and our need for them. This leads us to ask: What is a hero?Despite immense differences in cultures, heroes around the world generally share a number of characteristics that instruct and inspire people.A hero does something worth talking about. A hero has a story of adventure to tell and a community who will listen. But a hero goes beyond mere fame. Heroes serve powers or principles larger than themselves. Like high-voltage transformers, heroes take the energy of higher powers and step it down so that it can be used by ordinary people.The hero lives a life worthy of imitation. Those who imitate a genuine hero experience life with new depth, enthusiasm, and meaning. A sure testfor would-be heroes is what or whom do they serve? What are they willing to live and die for? If the answer or evidence suggests they serve only their own fame, they may be famous persons but not heroes. Madonna and Michael Jackson are famous, but who would claim that their fans find life more morally abundant? Heroes are catalysts (催化剂) for change. They have a vision from the mountaintop. They have the skill and the charm to move the masses. They create new possibilities. Without Gandhi, India might still be part of the British Empire. Without Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King, Jr., we might still have segregated (隔离的) buses, restaurants, and parks. It may be possible for large- scale change to occur without leaders with magnetic personalities, but the pace of change would be slow, the vision uncertain, and the committee meetings endless.41、 Although heroes may come from different culures, they ______.A. are often influenced by previous generationsB. all unknowingly attract a large number of fansC. generally possess certain inspiring characteristicsD. probably share some weaknesses of ordinary people42、 According to the passage, heroes are compared to high-voltage transformers in that ______.A. they have warm feelings and emotionsB. they can serve as concrete examples of noble principlesC. they can make people feel stronger and more confidentD. they have a vision from the mountaintop43、 Madonna and Michael Jackson are not regarded as heroes because ______.A. their primary concern is their own financial interestsB. they are not clear about the principles they should followC. they are popular only among certain groups of peopleD. their performances do not improve their fans morally44、 Gandhi and Martin Luther King are typical examples of outs-tanding leaders who ______.A. can move the masses with their distinctive charm and skillB. are good at demonstrating their charming charactersC. can provide an answer to the problems of their peopleD. are capable of meeting all challenges and hardships45、 The author concludes that historical changes would ______.A. take place if there were heroes to lead the peopleB. be delayed without leaders with inspiring personal qualitiesC. not happen without heroes making the necessary sacrificesD. produce leaders with attractive personalitiesPassage FourAfter graduation, I was assigned to teach a writing class. Teaching was a profession I had never seriously considered, though several of my stories had been published. I accepted the job without hesitation, as it would allow me to wear a tie and go by the name of Mr. Davis. My father went by the same name, and I liked to imagine people getting the two of us confused. "Wait a minute" someone might say, "are you talking about Mr. Davis the retired man, or Mr. Davis the respectable scholar?"The position was offered at the last minute, and I was given two weeks to prepare, a period I spent searching for briefcase and standing before my full-length mirror, repeating the words, "Hello, class. I'm Mr. Davis." Sometimes I would give myself an aggressive voice. Sometimes I would sound experienced. But when the day eventually came, my nerves kicked in and the true Mr. Davis was there. I sounded not like a thoughtful professor, but rather a 12-year-old boy.I arrived in the classroom with paper cards designed in the shape of maple leaves. I had cut them myself out of orange construction paper. I saw nine students along a long table. I handed out the cards, and the students wrote down their names and fastened them to their breast pockets as I required. "All right then," I said. "Okay, here we go." Then I opened my briefcase and realized that I had never thought beyond this moment. I had been thinking that the students would be the first to talk, offering their thoughts and opinions on the events of the day. I had imagined that I would sit at the edge of the desk, overlooking a forest of hands. Every student would yell. "Calm down, you'll all get your turn. One at a time, one at a time!"A terrible silence ruled the room, and seeing no other opinions, I insp ected the students to pull out their notebooks and write a brief essay related to the theme of deep disappointment.46、 The author took the job to teach writing because ______.A. he had written some storiesB. he wanted to be respectedC. he wanted to please his fatherD. he had dreamed of beinga teacher47、 What can we learn about the author from Paragraph 2?A. He got nervous upon the arrival of his first class.B. He was well-prepared for his first class.C. He would be aggressive in his first class.D. He waited long for the arrival of his first class.48、 Before he started his class, the author asked the students to ______.A. write down their suggestions on the paper cardsB. cut maple leaves out of the construction paperC. write down their names on the paper cardsD. cut some cards out of the construction paper49、 What did the students do when the author started his class?A. They raised their hands.B. They shouted to be heard.C. They began to talk.D. They stayed silent.50、 The author chose the composition topic probably because ______.A. he had prepared the topic before classB. he got frustrated with his first classC. he wanted to calm down the studentsD. he thought it was an easy topicⅢ．ClozeDirections: There are 20 blanks in the following passage.

The year of 2014 is bound to be an unordinary year for the poet Yu Xiuhua. Before 2014, Yu was only a 39-year-old farmer and lived a 51 life in a tiny village in Hubei Province. More unfortunately, she 52 cerebral palsy(脑瘫) and had serious movement problems, which made her 53 senior high school.Having been writing poems for 16 years unknowably, sheattained 54 overnight, almost suddenly. In 2014, Yu and her poetrywere 55 widely across the Chinese websites and social media, attracting the attention of people from all walks of life.

Without the media's offensive, Yu Xiuhua and her works wouldhave 64 unknown to ordinary readers. The reports about her 65 disabilities and struggle have moved and even 66 many people.In fact, Yu rekindles(点燃) people's passion for poetry. But perhaps even more 67 than her poetry itself is the rural woman's 68 that fame is never something she hoped for. Such sudden and widespread personal-life 69 to the public has made Yu feel uneasy and even a little bit overwhelmed. All she hopes to do is stay at her home to create poems 70 just as she used to.51、 A. easy B. hard C. happy D. rich52、 A. burst into B. suffered from C. objected to D. confessed to53、 A. drop out of B. get rid of C. give rise to D. get down to54、 A. respect B. chance C. achievements D. fame55、 A. discovered B. exploded C. covered D. mastered56、 A. sold B. consumed C. limited D. made57、 A. applied B. evaluated C. littered D. published58、 A. turn B. translate C. adapt D. offer59、 A. convinced B. reported C. informed D. intended60、 A. different B. obvious C. optimistic D. pessimistic61、 A. concluded B. criticized C. praised D. observed62、 A. while B. when C. although D. since63、 A. cases B. conditions C. qualities D. concepts64、 A. remained B. proved C. appeared D. seemed65、 A. spiritual B. physical C. rigid D. movable66、 A. overcame B. sympathized C. inspired D. adored67、 A. confident B. flexible C. classic D. impressive68、 A. intention B. courage C. attitude D. hobby69、 A. separation B. exposure C. persistence D. opposition70、 A. peacefully B. gracefully C. hopefully D. passionatelyⅣ．Error CorrectionDirections: There are 10 sentences.

You should decide on the best choice, and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneWhen I was studying English at a training center in Washington D.C. in 1998, I shared a house with two young Americans, Jim, and Steve. Jim was studying French and Steve Chinese, both at the Foreign Service Institute. We shared many things in common, but we also thought and acted quite differently. Steve was interested in speaking Chinese. He always tried every opportunity to talk with me with his very English-like pronunciation. I was often touched with his diligence. However, I wanted to practice English with him, too. So we often speak at the same time in the other’s mother tongue. Jim was fresh from college and the youngest of the three. He was going out all the time. The only time we met was at breakfast. There was a small round table in our kitchen, where we sat around to enjoy our food. Steve had Chinese fast food such as dumplings or noodles, and I ate bread and boiled eggs. But Jim often just drank a cup of tea because he had nothing in his bridge. He was too busy dating pretty French girls to do any shopping. I often offered him some of my food. But Steve told me in his poor Chinese that I didn’t need to do that.

Each age has its pleasures and its pains, and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age gives him without wasting his time in useless regrets.Childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities. If a child has good parents, he is well fed, looked after and loved. It is unlikely that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return. In addition, life is always presenting new things to the child — things that have lost their interest for older people because they are too well known. But a child has his pains:He is not so free to do what he wishes to do; he is continually being told not to do things or being punished for what he has done wrong. Therefore, a child is not happy as he wishes to be.When the young man starts to earn his own living, he becomes free from discipline of school and parents; but at the same time he is forced to accept responsibilities. With no one to pay for his food, his clothes, or his room, he has to work if he wants to live comfortably. If he spends most of his time playing about in the way that he used to as a child, he will go hungry. And if he breaks the laws of society as he used to break the laws of his parents, he may get himself into trouble. If, however, he works hard,goes by the law and has good health, he may feel satisfied in seeing himself make steady progress in his job and in building up for himself his own position in society.Old age has always been thought of as the worst age to be; but it is not necessary for the old to be unhappy. With old age comes wisdom and the ability to help others with advice wisely given. The old can have the joy of seeing their children making progress in life; they can watch their grandchildren growing up around them; and, perhaps best of all, they can, if their life has been a useful one, fell the happiness of having come through the battle of life safely and of having reached a time when they can lie back and rest, leaving everything to others.66.The happiest people should be those who ______.A. Face up to difficulties in lifeB. Hope to be young againC. Enjoy life in different ageD. Wish to be grown up67.The word “they”underlined in Line 4, para. 2 refers to ____.A. Older peopleB. New thingsC. ChildrenD. Interests68. A child has his pains because____. .A. He can not do whatever he wants toB. He is not allowed to play in rainC. He has a lot of new things to learnD. He can not play at the seaside freely69.When a child becomes a grown-up, he is supposed to ____.A.live comfortablyB. Take responsibilitiesC. Make progress in jobD. Impress the society70.The best title of the passage might be ____.A. Pains and AgesB. Differences in AgesC. The Best Age to BeD. Happiness and AgesPassage ThreeLife really should be one long journey of joy for children who are born with a world of wealth at their tiny feet.But experts on psychological research now believe that silver spoons can leave a bitter taste. If suicide statistics are a sign of happiness, then the rich are a miserable lot. Figures show that it is the rich who most often do away with themselves.Dr. Robert Coles, an internationally famous doctor, is the world’s top expert on the influence of money on children. He has written a well-received book on the subject, The Privileged Ones, and his research shows that too much money in the family can cause as many problems as too little. Obviously there are certain advantages to being rich,” says the 53-year-old doctor, such as better health, education and future work expectation. But most important is the quality of family life. Money can’t buy love.”It can buy a lot of other things, though, and that’s where the trouble starts. Rich kids have so much to choose from that they often become confused. Their parents’over favoring can makethem spoiled. They tend to travel more than other children, from home to home and country to country, which often makes them feel restless.“But privileged children do have a better sense of their positions in the world,” adds Mr. Coles, “and they are more self-assured.”Today’s rich parents perhaps have realized that their riches can be more of a burden than a favor to their children. So their priority is to ensure that their families are as rich in love as they are in money.71. According to the passage, children of rich families __________.A. enjoy travelingB. can buy loveC. usually commit suicideD. are not always happy72. Dr. Robert Coles believes that __________.A. being rich has as many advantages as being poorB. rich children often get too little entertainmentC. rich children sometimes can’t enjoy the thin g they are most in need ofD. rich children aren’t given enough things73. Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE according to the passage?A. It is love that is always lacking in rich and poor families alike.B. Silver spoons can sometimes leave a bitter taste.C. Money can’t buy everything.D. Rich children are often confused because they have so much to choose from.74. The expression “silver spoons” in Paragraph 1 means __________.A. very expensive spoonsB. rich peopleC. wealthD. spoons made of silver75. This article is written mainly to tell readers that __________.A. the rich are more likely to do away with themselvesB. money can bring a lot of things, including loveC. life is always happy for children of rich parentsD. rich parents should realize what is important in the family is love rather than moneyPassage FourCharlene, a 16-year-old student at a high school, found herself faced with a maths test to which she knew none of the answers. Rather than fail, she took the test out with her and filled in the answers with the help of her friends. During a break, she got back into the classroom without being seen, crumpled the test with her shoe, and left it lying on the floor. The teacher thought it had been dropped when the tests were collected; she corrected it, and Charlene received a B.Cheating is, of course, nothing new. But today, educators are finding that cheating on the part of students has become more frequent than in the past. Whether it is copying a friend's homework, using a prepared sheet on an exam, stealing advance copies of a final, writing down rules in one's hand, or paying someone else to write a term paper, cheating appears to have gained acceptance among a growing number of students between 13 and 19.In a 1978 study of cheating at twenty-two high schools in Georgia, it was found that cheating was common among good and poor students alike——although both boys and girls said they thought boys cheated more.Why is student cheating on the rise? No one really knows. Some blame cheating on a general loss of good values among today's youth. They point to facts showing increased damage of public things and school stealing and think that reports, such as Watergate have disappointed youth about the honesty of people in higher positions.Others think that today's youth are far more practical than their forefathers. In the late sixties and early seventies, students were filled with imaginations about changing the world, but today's students feel great stress to succeed.76. According to Paragraph 1, Charlene took the test out because ____.A. her friends could answer none of the problemsB. she tore the test paper to piecesC. she stepped her shoes on the test paperD. she did not want to fail in the math test77. Charlene passed the test because ____.A. she answered all the questions by herselfB. she did the test by cheatingC. she persuaded her teacher to give her a BD. she returned to the classroom to redo the test78. Which of the following is not an example to show that cheating is becoming more and more common?A. A student pays another for doing a test paper.B. A student writes down something to be tested before an exam.C. A student gets well prepared in his studies before an exam.D. A student gets homework from his classmate and then copies it.79. The 1978 study of cheating in Georgia shows that ____.A. only students in the 24 high schools cheated in examinationsB. both good and poor students cheated in examinationsC. boys liked cheating while girls did not like itD. more girls cheated in examinations than boys did80. One of the facts for the rise of cheating is that ____.A. more and more public things are damagedB. good values disappoint studentsC. more and more students begin to stealD. honest people are in higher positionPart Ⅳ Translation (2×10 points)Directions:There are 10 sentences in this section.

Part I Reading Comprehension (60 marks, 60 minutes)SectionAFormatⅠ（共20小题，每小题2分，共40分）Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by five questions. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C, and D. You should decide on the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet. Passage oneQuestions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:Karen Christiansen Madison,Wisconsin,is licking stamps and addressing envelopes.Soon,she and her future husband will be sending out invitations for their June wedding.Meanwhile,on the other side of the world,Wei Yashung is at the hairdresser’s in Shanghai,China.She knows she will have a long wait---maybe four hours.It’s May 18th,the most popular day to get married in China.The room is fille d with brides preparing for their special day.Weddings are a special event in every culture.People begin new lives together and families are joined together. “Everyone feels very emotional at this time.There are a lot of rituals and superstitions at wedd ings,”says Maxine Rowe,an anthropologist.As Kerry plans her wedding,her aunt and sisters help her check off the things she needs,according to an old custom.They read the traditional poem, “Something old,something new,something borrowed,and something blue”Female friends and relatives gather around.preparing the bride for the ceremony.Many wedding traditions in western cultures were designed to protect the couple from bad luck. “The wedding veil is a Greek custom,to hide the bride from evilspirits,”says Maxine. “The Romans developed the custom of bridesmaids(i.e. women dressed like the bride) to confuse the spirits.Also,some wedding flowers have a strong smell to scare away the evil spirits.”In China,thousands of couples that have chosen May 18th for their wedding day. “In the past,Chinese couples consulted a special book to find lucky and unlucky days for getting married ” explains Maxine. “But in modern times,a new tradition is being formed.” The eighteenth day of the fifth month,five-one-eight or “ wu yao ba ” as it is called in China,sounds very close to “ wo yao fa ” or “I will get rich.” This is considered a omen for any couples getting married on this day.Some people don’t think it is a good idea for everyone to get married on the same day. “It’s silly and superstitious,” a newspaper reporter wrote.Hairdressers,and owners of flower stores,restaurants and car services say it’s the best day of the year.They can raise their prices for this one day and their services will still be fully booked.Maybe they are the ones who should be saying, “I will get rich.”1.The overall structure of this passage can be called ________parison and contrastB.description of events in order of timeC.details leading to conclusionD.generalization followed by details2. An anthropologist in P2 studies _______ ?A. hairstyleB. jewelsC. almanacsD. customs3. Why do Karen’s friends and relatives contribute a cousin’s wedding veil ?A. It is something old.C. It is something borrowed. B. It is something new.D. It is something blue.4. The word omen in P5 means________.A. a sign of starB. a sign of presentC. a sign of pastD. a sign of future5. What is the writer’s tone in the last sentence “Maybe they are the ones who should be saying, “I will get r ich.””A. HumorousB. TolerantC. Matter-of-factD. FuriousPassage TwoQuestions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:The easiest and least complicated way to motivate somebody is quite simply to pay them attention.What you say is not particularly important,nor necessarily is how long you spend saying it,as long as it’s something. “Nice weather” or “How are you ?” will do.People just love attention,adults and children.Children love attention so much that they will do anything to get some.In fact,if children are not getting enough attention,they would rather be naughty and get told off than be “good” and be ignored.An interesting time in most households with young children isdinnertime--it’s the end of the day,everybody is tired,the house is in a mess and Johnny doesn’t like carrots and is refusing to eat his food.Again,the easy trap to fall into is to start getting cross with Johnny and getting into a big argument about his food.Again,he’s getting the attention he desires;even if it’s not the best sort of attention,it’s better than nothing.It’s fascinating if you are able to stand back from the situation and instead focus attention and praise on Johnny’s brother who is eating his food---after all,he is one that is doing what you want him to do.After five or ten minutes or so of being ignored and deprive of the attention,it’s amazing how quickly(usually) Johnny sees sense and obeys.I’ve watched my own children in this situation go from screaming from behind the sofa,saying “Mummy,aren’t I do ing good dinner eating ? ”---all without having one word a spoken to them by their parents,who are busily paying attention to their brothers.This fundamental need for attention,and doing whatever it takes to get it,doesn’t disappear when we turn into adu lts.Sure,there are people who are “ real attention seekers ” in a loud and extravert (外向的) way,and there are the shy,retiring types who don’t want attention in such a “ sociable ” way.But everybody still wants to be recognized and seen worthwhile.6.What will children probably do to get parents attention ?A.They will get quiet for a long time.B.They will ignore their parents.C.They will behave naughtily.D. They will get crossly easily.7.What does the phrase “ the easy trap to fall into ” means ?A.A set-up situation parents are likely to go into.B.The household work that parents can not avoid.C.Some tempting food children easily love to eat.D.A bad habit children easily develop.8. An effective way to make children behave themselves may to be ?A. Scold them severelyB. Teach them what to doC. Give them total freedomD. Praise their sisters or brothers9. “ Real attention seekers ” in the last paragraph are probably those ______ ?A. motivate others to learnB. associate with shy typesC. reply on negative attentionD. arouse others’ attention openly10.What point does the author make by relating to children’s behavior ?A.Children’s upbringing needs parents’ constant care.B.Children are usually extravert while adults are sociable.C.Bothchildren and adults need to be seen as worthwhile. D.Themotivation of children differs greatly from that of adults.Passage ThreeQuestions11 to 15 are based on the following passage:Named for the dense shade of their thick pines,the Black Hills of south Dakota have for centuries been considered holy by Lakota Sioux,once the most powerful tribe in the west.Today,because of the passions of a few artists,the land itself has been holy in another way.It took the obsessed sculptor Gutzon Borglum,his son Lincoln,and four hundred workers 14 years to complete an artistic and engineering project so monumental that no one believe it possible: carving and blasting the six-story faces of Washington.Jefferson,Teddy Roosevelt,and Abraham Lincoln out of stony Mount Rushmore.A little trivia: Washington’ eyes are each 11 feet wide,and his nose is 26 feet long.Mr.Lincoln, sports a mole that measures 16 inches across.Just 17 miles away,the gigantic Crazy Horse Memorial is slowly taking shape.Also carved into granite,this memorial,when completed somewhere around 2050,after a century’s labor,this depict Native America’s greatest warriors chief on his horse,dwarfing Mount Rushmore at 563 feet tall.The horse’s nostril alone will be large enough to hold a five-room house.From Crazy Horse,head east on the beautiful 14-mile Needles Highway,past billion-year-old Granite hills,so Sylvan lake and then north to Spearfish Canyon Scenic Byway,whose landscape you’ll easily recognize as the backdrops used in the film Dances with Wolves.Altematively,you can park your bags in the pleasant Game lodge that served as Calvin Coolidge’s Summer White House.Of the historic inn’s seven rooms,you can still book the room the thirtieth president and his wife occupied during the three months in 1972.The lodge is one of three found within Custer State Park,whose 18-mile Wildlife Loop Road runs through unfenced meadows where herds of buffalo roam.11. The word “ sports ” in Paragraph 2 most probably means _______.A. is famous forB. is characterized byC. is decorated withD. is accompanied by12.Of the four things mentioned in the passage,which one is the largest ?A. Washington’s eyesB. Washington’s noseC. Lincoln’s moleD. Crazy Horse’s nose13.Which of the following projects is still in progress ?A. Lincoln’s face.B. Crazy Horse.C. Summer White House.D. Wildlife Loop Road.14.What is not a feature that Mount Rushmore and Crazy have in common ?A.They were very large.B.They were carved out of granite.C.They were located in Black Hills.D. They were both depicted in India tribes.15.Who is the 30th president of the US ?A. Thomas Jefferson.B. Teddy Roosevelt.C. Abraham Lincoln.D. Calvin Coolidge.Passage FourQuestions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage:Women are more efficient and trustworthy, have a better understanding of their workforce and are more generous with their praise.In short they make the best managers, and if men are to keep up they will have to start learning form their female counterparts, a report claims today.The survey of 1,000 male and female middle and senior managers from across the UK is an indictment of the ability of men to function as leaders in the modern workplace.A majority of those questioned believed women had a more modern outlook on their profession and were more open minded and considerate.By way of contrast, a similar number believe male managers are egocentric and more likely to steal credit for work done by others.Management today magazine, which conducted the research, said that after years of having to adopt a masculine identity and hide their emotions and natural behaviour in the workplace, women have become role models for managers.The findings tally with a survey of female bosses carried out in the US. a five-year study of 2,500 managers from 450 firms found that many male bosses were rated by their staff of both sexes to be self-obsessed and autocratic.Women on the other hand leave men in the starting blocks when it comes to teamwork and communicating with staff.In Britain more than 61% of those surveyed said men did not make better bosses than women.Female managers use time more effectively, with many of those surveyed commenting that juggling commitments is a familiar practice for women with a home and a family.Female managers also appear to make good financial sense for penny-pinching companies: most people, of either sex, would rather ask for a rise from a man.16.What is the source of the data mentioned in the passage ?A.A magazineB.A newspaperC.A government white paperD.A university Journal17.According to the passage,male manager tend to ________.A.be more selfless in teamworkB.ask more questions whensurveyed C.be considerate leaders incompany D.claim the contribution18.What can be found after comparing the findings in the UK and US ?A.The findings are irrelevantB.The findings are contradictoryC.The findings match each otherD.The findings are not significant19.What does the phrase “penny-pinching companies ” means ?panies that lack moneypanies that are very generouspanies that earn a lot of moneypanies that are unwilling to use money20.What’s the main idea of the passage ?A.Men are better managers than womenB.Women are better managers than menC.Male managers are more willing to learnD.Male leaders and females leaders have different advantagesFormatⅡ（共5小题，每小题2分，共10分）Directions: In the following passage, some sentences have been removed.

Organizing schools along extended-day, extended-year or learning-intense models can yield substantial benefits for children. But even these schedules don't guarantee success. Much depends on the specifics of implementation.The devil is in the details. With extended learning time, for example, we can't just wait around for good things to happen. Careful thinking and actively seeking solutions are needed to ensure that more time for learning equals better outcomes.A new study by the National Center on Time & Learning (NCTL) points out some keys to success. For instance, schools must define what they want to achieve with more time for academics, and they need to measure their academic progress to determine whether the extra time is working. And they must identify effective strategies to get the greatest bang for the buck out of the added time.6. According to the passage, what is as important as the way schools teach?A. The way schools are fundedB. The organization of schoolsC. The caliber of the teachersD. The design of the school building7. Extended-day, extended-year and learning-intense models can yield substantial benefits for children, but _______.A. they guarantee success for all childrenB. the devil is in the detailsC. they are the only factors that influence successD. they are not necessary for success8. What do schools need to do in order to ensure that more time for learning equals better outcomes?A. Define their purpose and measure progressB. Increase fundingC. Hire more teachersD. Enroll more students9. According to the National Center on Time & Learning study, what are some keys to success in implementing extended learning time?A.

Part I Reading Comprehension (60 marks, 60 minutes)SectionAFormatⅠ（共 20 小题，每小题 2 分，共 40 分）Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by five questions. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C, and D. You should decide on the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet.Passage oneQuestions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:Karen Christiansen Madison,Wisconsin,is licking stamps and addressing envelopes.Soon,she and her future husband will be sending out invitations for their June wedding.Meanwhile,on the other side of the world,Wei Yashung is at the hairdresser’s in Shanghai,China.Sheknows she will have a long wait---maybe four hours.It’s May 18th,the most popular day to get married in China.The room is filled with brides preparing for their special day.Weddings are a special event in every culture.People begin new lives together and families are joined together. “Everyone feels very emotional at this time.There are a lot of rituals and superstitions at weddings,”says Maxine Rowe,an anthropologist.As Kerry plans her wedding,her aunt and sisters help her check off the things she needs,according to an old custom.They read the traditional poem, “Something old,something new,something borrowed,and something blue”Female friends and relatives gather around.preparing the bride for the ceremony.Many wedding traditions in western cultures were designed to protect the couple from bad luck. “The wedding veil is a Greek custom,to hide the bride from evil1spirits,”says Maxine. “The Romans developed the custom of bridesmaids(i.e. women dressed like the bride) to confuse the spirits.Also,some wedding flowers have a strong smell to scare away the evil spirits.”In China,thousands of couples that have chosen May 18th for their wedding day. “In the past,Chinese couples consulted a special book to find lucky and unlucky days for getting married ” explains Maxine. “But in modern times,a new tradition is being formed.” The eighteenth day of the fifth month,five-one-eight or “wu yao ba ”as it is called in China,sounds very close to “wo yao fa ”or “I will get rich.”This is considered a omen for any couples getting married on this day.Some people don’t think it is a good idea for everyone to get married on the same day. “It’s silly and superstitious,”a newspaper reporter wrote.Hairdressers,and owners of flower stores,restaurants and car services say it’s the best day of the year.They can raise their prices for this one day and their services will still be fully booked.Maybe they are the ones who should be saying, “I will get rich.”1.The overall structure of this passage can be called ________parison and contrastB.description of events in order of timeC.details leading to conclusionD.generalization followed by details2. An anthropologist in P2 studies _______ ?A. hairstyleB. jewelsC. almanacsD. customs3. Why do Karen’s friends and relatives contribute a cousin’s wedding veil ?A. It is something old.C. It is something borrowed. B. It is something new.D. It is something blue.4. The word omen in P5 means________.A. a sign of starB. a sign of presentC. a sign of pastD.a sign of future5. What is the writer’s tone in the last sentence “Maybe they are the ones who should be saying, “I will get rich.””A. HumorousB. TolerantC. Matter-of-factD. FuriousPassage TwoQuestions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:The easiest and least complicated way to motivate somebody is quite simply to pay them attention.What you say is not particularly important,nor necessarily is how long you spend saying it,as long as it’s something. “Nice weather” or “How are you ?” will do.People just love attention,adults and children.Children love attention so much that they will do anything to get some.In fact,if children are not getting enough attention,they would rather be naughty and get told off than be “good” and be ignored.An interesting time in most households with young children is2dinnertime--it’s the end of the day,everybody is tired,the house is in a mess and Johnny doesn’t like carrots and is refusing to eat his food.Again,the easy trap to fall into is to start getting cross with Johnny and getting into a big argument about his food.Again,he’s getting the attention he desires;even if it’s not the best sort of attention,it’s better than nothing.It’s fascinating if you are able to stand back from the situation and instead focus attention and praise on Johnny’s brother who is eating his food---after all,he is one that is doing what you want him to do.After five or ten minutes or so of being ignored and deprive of the attention,it’s amazing how quickly(usually) Johnny sees sense and obeys.I’ve watched my own children in this situation go from screaming from behind the sofa,saying “Mummy,aren’t I doing good dinner eating ? ”---all without having one word a spoken to them by their parents,who are busily paying attention to their brothers.This fundamental need for attention,and doing whatever it takes to get it,doesn’t disappear when we turn into adults.Sure,there are people who are “real attention seekers ”in a loud and extravert (外向的) way,and there are the shy,retiring types who don’t want attention in such a “ sociable ” way.But everybody still wants to be recognized and seen worthwhile.6.What will children probably do to get parentsattention ? A.They will get quiet for a long time.B.They will ignore theirparents. C.They will behavenaughtily. D. They will getcrossly easily.7.What does the phrase “ the easy trap to fall into ” means ?A.A set-up situation parents are likely to go into.B.The household work that parents can not avoid.C.Some tempting food children easily love to eat.D.A bad habit children easily develop.8. An effective way to make children behave themselves may to be ?A. Scold them severelyB. Teach them what to doC. Give them total freedomD. Praise their sisters or brothers9. “ Real attention seekers ” in the last paragraph are probably those______ ?A. motivate others to learnB. associate with shy typesC. reply on negative attentionD. arouse others’ attention openly10.What point does the author make by relating tochildren’s behavior ? A.Children’s upbringing needsparents’ constant care.B.Children are usually extravert while adults aresociable. C.Both children and adults need to be seen asworthwhile. D.The motivation of children differs greatlyfrom that of adults.3Passage ThreeQuestions11 to 15 are based on the following passage:Named for the dense shade of their thick pines,the Black Hills of south Dakota have for centuries been considered holy by Lakota Sioux,once the most powerful tribe in the west.Today,because of the passions of a few artists,the land itself has been holy in another way.It took the obsessed sculptor Gutzon Borglum,his son Lincoln,and four hundred workers 14 years to complete an artistic and engineering project so monumental that no one believe it possible: carving and blasting the six-story faces of Washington.Jefferson,Teddy Roosevelt,and Abraham Lincoln out of stony Mount Rushmore.A little trivia: Washington’eyes are each 11 feet wide,and his nose is 26 feet long.Mr.Lincoln, sports a mole that measures 16 inches across.Just 17 miles away,the gigantic Crazy Horse Memorial is slowly taking shape.Also carved into granite,this memorial,when completed somewhere around 2050,after a century’s labor,this depict Native America’s greatest warriors chief on his horse,dwarfing Mount Rushmore at 563 feet tall.The horse’s nostril alone will be large enough to hold a five-room house.From Crazy Horse,head east on the beautiful 14-mile Needles Highway,past billion-year-old Granite hills,so Sylvan lake and then north to Spearfish Canyon Scenic Byway,whose landscape you’ll easily recognize as the backdrops used in the film Dances with Wolves.Altematively,you can park your bags in the pleasant Game lodge that served as Calvin Coolidge’s Summer White House.Of the historic inn’s seven rooms,you can still book the room the thirtieth president and his wife occupied during the three months in 1972.The lodge is one of three found within Custer State Park,whose 18-mile Wildlife Loop Road runs through unfenced meadows where herds of buffalo roam.11. The word “ sports ” in Paragraph 2 most probably means _______.A. is famous forB. is characterized byC. is decorated withD. is accompanied by12.Of the four things mentioned in the passage,which one is the largest ?A. Washington’s eyesB. Washington’s noseC. Lincoln’s moleD. Crazy Horse’s nose13.Which of the following projects is still in progress ?A. Lincoln’s face.B. Crazy Horse.C. Summer White House.D. Wildlife Loop Road.14.What is not a feature that Mount Rushmore and Crazy have in common ?A.They were very large.B.They were carved out of granite.C.They were located in Black Hills.4D. They were both depicted in India tribes.15.Who is the 30th president of the US ?A. Thomas Jefferson.B. Teddy Roosevelt.C. Abraham Lincoln.D. Calvin Coolidge.Passage FourQuestions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage:Women are more efficient and trustworthy, have a better understanding of their workforce and are more generous with their praise.In short they make the best managers, and if men are to keep up they will have to start learning form their female counterparts, a report claims today.The survey of 1,000 male and female middle and senior managers from across the UK is an indictment of the ability of men to function as leaders in the modern workplace.A majority of those questioned believed women had a more modern outlook on their profession and were more open minded and considerate.By way of contrast, a similar number believe male managers are egocentric and more likely to steal credit for work done by others.Management today magazine, which conducted the research, said that after years of having to adopt a masculine identity and hide their emotions and natural behaviour in the workplace, women have become role models for managers.The findings tally with a survey of female bosses carried out in the US. a five-year study of 2,500 managers from 450 firms found that many male bosses were rated by their staff of both sexes to be self-obsessed and autocratic.Women on the other hand leave men in the starting blocks when it comes to teamwork and communicating with staff.In Britain more than 61% of those surveyed said men did not make better bosses than women.Female managers use time more effectively, with many of those surveyed commenting that juggling commitments is a familiar practice for women with a home and a family.Femalemanagers also appear to make good financial sense for penny-pinching companies: most people, of either sex, would rather ask for a rise from a man.16.What is the source of the data mentioned in the passage ?A.A magazineB.A newspaperC.A government white paperD.A university Journal17.According to the passage,male manager tend to________. A.be more selfless in teamworkB.ask more questions whensurveyed C.be considerateleaders in company D.claimthe contribution18.What can be found after comparing the findings in the UK and US ?5A.The findings are irrelevantB.The findings arecontradictory C.The findingsmatch each other D.Thefindings are not significant19.What does the phrase “penny-pinchingcompanies ” means ? panies that lack moneypanies that are very generouspanies that earn a lot of moneypanies that are unwilling to usemoney 20.What’s the main idea of thepassage ? A.Men are better managersthan women B.Women are bettermanagers than men C.Male managersare more willing to learnD.Male leaders and females leaders have different advantagesFormatⅡ（共5小题，每小题2分，共10分）Directions: In the following passage, some sentences have been removed.

Colors in them seem to be used mainly to protect themselves.Birds, especially seagulls, are very fond of locusts (蝗虫). But birds cannot easily catch locusts because locusts change their colors along with the change of the colors of crops. When crops are green, locusts look green. But when crops are ripe, locusts take on exactly the same brown color as crops have. Some other pests with different colors from plants are usually easily found and eaten by their enemies. So they have to hide themselves in terror for lives and appear only at night.If you study the animal life in any part of the world, you will find the main use of coloring is to protect themselves. Bears, wolves and other beasts move quietly through forests. They are usually invisible (看不见的)to the hunters’eyes. because they have the colors much like the barks of trees(树皮).An even stranger act remains to be noticed. A kind of fish living in seas can send out a kind of very black liquid when it faces danger. While the liquid spreads over, its enemies cannot find it, and it immediately swims away.
