We feel that thereare many disadvantages in streaming (把---按能力分班) pupils. It does not take into account the fact that children develop at different rates. It can have a bad effect on both bright and not-so-bright children. After all, it can be very discouraging to be at the bottomof the top grade!Besides, it is rather unreal to grade people just according to their intellec tual ability. This is only one of their total personalities. We are concerned to develop the ability of all our pupils into the full, not just their academic ability. We also value personal qualities and social skills,and we find that mixed-ability teaching contributes to all these aspects of learning.In our classrooms, we work in various ways. The pupils often work ingroups:this gives them opportunities to learn to co-operate, to share and to develop2leadership skills. They also learn how to cope with personal problems as well as learning how to think,to make decisions, to analyze and evaluate, and to communicate effectively. The pupil learn from each other as well as from the teacher.Sometimes the pupils work in pairs; sometimes they work on individ ual tasks and assignment, and they can do this at their own speed. They also have some formal class teaching when this is appropriate. We encourage our pupils to use the libraries, and we teach them the skills they need in order to do this efficiently. An advanced pupil can do advanced work: it does no matter what age this child is. We expect our pupils to do their best,not their least, and we give them every encouragement to attain this goal.1.In this passage the author's attitude towards "mixed-ability teaching" is( C ).A. CriticalB. questioningC. approvingD.objective2. By "held back" (Para. 1) the author means“ D ”.A. made to remain in the same classesB. forced to study in the lower classesC. drawn to their studiesD. prevented from advancing3.The author argues that a teacher's chief concern should be the development of the student's ( B )A.personal qualities and social skillsB.total personalityC.learning ability and communicative skillsD.intellectual ability4.Which of the following is NOT MENTIONED in the third paragraph? ( D )A.Group work gives pupils the opportunity to learn to work together with others.B.Pupils also learn to develop their reasoning abilities.C.Group work provides pupils with the opportunity to learn to be capable organizers.D.Pupil also learn how to participate in teaching activities.5.The author's purpose in writing this passage is to A.A.argue for teaching bright and not-so-bright children in the same classB.recommend pair work and group work for classroom activitiesC.offer advice on the proper use of libraryD.emphasize the importance of appropriate formal classroom teachingCars of 2050 will travel the nation's highways in never-before-dreamed-of safety,Comfort, and conven i ence. These cars will float along never touching the ground, and therefore will have no need for wheels.Annoying highway vibrations, caused by the rotations of the disc-and-tire wheels, will be things of the past. The coming highway passenger cars will literally fly above the road, supported on columns of air compressed by turbine-driven fans.The car without wheels has been called a "flying car", and, in a sense, that's just what it is;however, it will not back out of the family garage, start down the street, and then suddenly go quickly upward heading for some distant point. On the contrary, to avoid problems in aerial navigation, the wheelless vehicle probably will travel no more than three inches above road surface. It will travel over fairly rough road and even over smooth water!The inevitable problems of maritime regulations, severe weather conditions, and running out of fuel in remote areas all will require new concepts of operation, servicing, and vehicle regulation.1.The author believes that cars of the future CA. will be replaced by airplanesB. will have wheels unlike those of todayC. will use columns of air instead of wheelsD.will use wheels without tires2.Which of the following is true concerning the new car? BA. It doesn't need fuel any more.3B. It will be influenced by weather conditions.C. No family garage is needed any longer.D. The speed of a flying car will be comparable to that of an airplane.3.The car without wheels has been called a "flying car" because AA. it travels a few inches above the groundB. it can fly as a plane doesC. it moves at a very high speedD. it can travel over smooth water4.Where is a wheelless car LEAST fit to travel? DA. Over soft land.B. Over rough country roads.C. Over highways.D. Over waterfalls.5.Wheelless cars will BA. eliminate all traffic problemsB. create new traffic problemsC. eliminate parking problemsD. Both A and CⅢ.

Passage 1One study shows that Americans prefer to answer with a brief “ Yes ” , “ No ” , “ Sure ” , or the very popular “ Yeah ” r ather than with a longer reply.But brief replies do not mean Americans are impolite or unfriendly to some extent. Very often, Americans are in a hurry and may greet you with a single word “ Hi ” , indeed; this is a greeting you will hear again and again during your stay in the United States. It is used by everyone, regardless of rank and occupation.However, those who are accustomed to longer greetings may require a little more time before they feel comfortable with American simple talk. Americans sometimes use plain talk when they are uncomfortable. If people praise them or thank them in an especially polite way, they may become uncomfortable and not know what to say in reply. They don't want to be impolite or rude, you can be sure that they liked what was said about them. Except for certain holidays, such as Christmas, Americans don't usually give gifts. Thus, you will find Americans embarrassed as they accept gifts, especially if they have nothing to give in return. They are generally a warm but informal people.1. The fact that Americans like shorter answers tells us__________.A. they reply very quickly in a hurryB. they choose words too carefullyC. they like replying brieflyD. they want to be as polite as they can2. Those who like using beautiful or formal words __________.A. need more time to get used to American simple greetingB. need no time to get familiar with American greetingC. do not very much like American way of greetingD. think Americans are not polite whatever3. Which of the following is NOT true?A. Americans often answer with the words like “ sure ” , “ yeah ” .B. They are not impolite with brief replies.C. Americans in high ranks must use formal words in greeting.D. Americans are a warm but informal people.4. The Americans like others' praise but if in a polite way__________.A. they don't know what to say in replyB. they feel somewhat uneasyC. they don't want to replyA. Americans exchange gifts the first time they meet.B. Americans seldom give gifts except for some holidays.C. Americans often bring some gifts to their friends.D.

Most typical history courses concentrate on politics, economics and war. But art history focuses on much more than this because art reflects not only the political values of a people, but also religious beliefs, emotions and psychology. In addition, information about the daily activities of our ancestors can be provided by art. In short, art expresses the essential qualities of a time and a place, and a study of it clearly offers us a deeper understanding than can be found in most history books.In history books, objective information about the political life of a country is presented; that is, facts about politics are given, but opinions are not expressed. Art, on the other hand, is subjective( 主观的 ): it reflects emotions and opinions. The great Spanish painter Francisco Goya was perhaps the first truly “political” artist. In his well-known painting The Third of May, 1808, he criticized the Spanish government for its abuse ( 滥⽤ ) of power over people.In the same way, art can reflect a culture's religious beliefs. For hundreds of years in Europe, religious art had been almost the only type of art that existed. Churches and other religious buildings were filled with paintings that described people and stories from the Bible. Although most people couldn't read, they could still understand the Bible stories in the pictures on church walls. By contrast, one of the main characteristics of art in the Middle East was (and still is) its absence of human and animal images. This reflects the Islamic belief that statues (And green is associated with passive defense and self-protection. Experiments have shown that colors, partly because of their psychological associations, also have a direct psychological effect. People exposed to bright red show an increase in breath, in heartbeat and in blood pressure; red is exciting. Similar exposure to pure blue has exactly the opposite effect; it is a calming colon Because of its exciting meaning, red is chosen as the signal for danger, but closer analysis shows that a vivid yellow can produce a more basic state of alarm. So fire engines and ambulances in some advanced communities are now rushing around in bright yellow colors that stop the traffic dead.1. More can be learned about a culture from a study of art history than general history because__________.A. art history shows us nothing but the political valuesB. general history only focuses on politicsC. art history gives us an insight ( 洞察⼒ ) into the essential qualities of a time and a placeD. general history concerns only religious beliefs, emotions and psychology2. Art is subjective in that__________.A. a personal and emotional view of history is presented through itB. it only reflects people's anger or sadness about social problemsC. it can easily arouse people's anger about trek governmentD. artists were or are religious, who reflect only the religious aspect of the society3. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. In history books political views of people are entirely presented.B. Francisco Goya expressed his religious belief in his painting The Third of May, 1808.C. In the Middle East, you can hardly find animal or human figures on palaces or other buildings.D. For centuries in Europe, painters had only painted on wails of churches or other religious buildings.B. the difference between general history and art historyC. what we can learn from artD. the influence of artists on art history5. It can be concluded from the passage that__________.A. Islamic artists only paint images of plants, flowers or objects in their paintingsB. it is more difficult to study art history than general historyC. a history teacher must be quite objectiveD. artists painted people or stories from the Bible to hide their political beliefs 以上5题参考答案CACBDPassage 3If you have a chance to go to Finland, you will probably be surprised to find how “foolish” the Finnish people are.Take the taxi drivers for example. Taxis in Finland are mostly high-class Benz with a fare of two US dollars a kilometer. You can go anywhere in one, tell the driver to drop you at any place, say that you have some business to attend to, and then walk off without paying your fare. The driver would not show the least sign of anxiety.The dining rooms in all big hotels not only serve their guests, but also serve outside diners. Hotel guests have their meals free, so they naturally go to the free dining rooms to have their meals. The most they would do to show their good faith is to wave their registration card to the waiter. With such a loose check, you can easily use any old registration card to take a couple of friends to dine free of charge.The Finnish workers are paid by the hour. They are very much on their own as soon as they have agreed with the boss on the rate. From then on they just say how many hours they have worked and they will be paid accordingly.With so many loopholes(漏洞) in everyday life, surely Finland must be a heaven to those who love to take “petty advantages”. But the strange thing is, all the taxi passengers would always come back to pay their fare after they have attended to their business; not a single outsider has ever been found in the free hotel dining rooms. And workers always give an honest account of the exact hours they put in. As the Finns always act on good faith in everything they do, living in such a society has turned everyone into a real “gentleman”.In a society of such high moral practice, what need is there for people to be on guard against others?1. While taking a taxi in Finland, _____A. a passenger can go anywhere without having to pay the driverB. a passenger pays two US dollars for a taxi rideC. a passenger can never be turned down by the taxi driver wherever he wantsto goD. a passenger needs to provide good faith demonstration before they leavewithout paying2. We know from the passage that big hotels in Finland_____A. provide meal for only those who live in the hotelsB. provide meals for any dinersC. provide free wine and charge for foodD. are mostly poorly managed3. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?employees.C. The workers are always honest with their working hours.D. The workers and their bosses will make an agreement in advance about thepay.4. The word “those” in the last paragraph probably refers to _____A. people who often take taxisB. people who often have meals in big hotelsC. people who are dishonestD. people who are worthy of trust5. It can be concluded that _____A. Finnish people are not smart enough in daily lifeB.

A cup of cocoa before going to bedor a Mars bar on the bus – the British are obsessed with it. The average Briton eats 10kg of chocolate a year. Women eat far more chocolate than men, an amazing 67% of total chocolateconsumption. And the most popular snack is KitKat – fifty are eaten every second in the UK.Chocoholics are people with a chocolate obsession. But are they addicts Not according to recent research. This shows that chocolate is not as addictive as coffee – in fact,there is no p roof that chocolate creates addiction at all. And it’s a lot better for you than we thought. Some scientists say that it releases the same chemicals that your body produces when you are in love. Now that can’t be a bad thing!Some more good news – it doesn’t raise your cholesterol level or give you acne, as people believe, and it can even be goodfor your teeth! It does, however, contain caffeine and is badif you get headaches. So the least sensible time to eat it is at night.The British love chocolate but they are not as obsessed as the Swiss. The Swiss are officially the world’ greatest chocolate eaters – but then Swiss chocolate is the best!1Women buy less chocolate than men.2There is evidence that chocolate is addictive.3Chocolate contains caffeine.4You should avoid chocolate if you suffer from migraines.5The world’s greatest chocolate eaters are the British.Key: FFTTF5.From: U8L3 P121Found Safe and SoundThe monkey who escaped from Bristol Zoo last weekend was discovered by school children yesterday.

Lucy loves new technology. She owns a games console, an MP3 player, and a mobile phone with a built-in digital camera. David is a teacher. Lucy is his student.Like Lucy, many children grow up using computers almost every day and often know more about technology than adults. Educator Marc Prensky calls children like Lucy “digital natives”. Digital natives can quickly learn how to use new gadgets and new software, while non-digital natives spend a lot of timereading manuals and worrying about computer viruses. In fact, many parents try to save time by asking their children to teach them how to use new technology!The divide between digital natives and non-digital natives can cause problems at school because students and teachers grow up with very different ideas about technology. Many teachers think that playing computer games is a waste of time and that technology has made children unable to concentrate. However, many students think their classes are slow and boring, and want to use computers to study.Prensky believes that digital natives have learned a lot from technology, but that they learn things in a different way. For example, reading a website is different from reading a book, so digital natives are good at finding the information they need and choosing what they want to read. So perhaps teachers need to change the way they teach and use more technology in class – because the number of digital natives will keep increasing!1 David is a digital native.2 Marc Prensky is interested in teaching with technology.3 Digital natives are comfortable using laptops and flash drives.4 Many teachers think computer games are only for having fun or killing time.5 People read books and websites in the same way.Key: FTTTF7.From: U10L2 P153SpanglishIn which city can you read signs like “Aparca your car aquí” or “Cuidado con los pickpockets” Travelguide investigates.1.2 million Hispanics live in the Big Apple and one in five New Yorkers speaks Spanish at home. In the last ten years, the Hispanic population has grown by 400 000. This reflects the enormous increase in the Hispanic population in the States. There are now 42 million Hispanics resident in the USA, representing 15% of the total population.There is a new language, SPANGLISH – a strange mixture of Spanish and English – which is invading the city. The New York Times recently said that it had become the city’s thir dofficial language. Its use is colloquial and often limited to short sentences and signs. Many New Yorkers now wear socketines on their feet, drop something on the carpeta, shop for grocerias and have cornfley(“cornflakes”) for breakfast.Norma Rodríguez, a 45-year-old Cuban living in Washington Heights, says it forms a part of her life now: “Sometimes, you don’t realize that you’re mixing the two languages. You just hear them both all the time and find that you’re inventing new words.” Other people, howe ver, are fighting against this new street language. Businessman Juan Cortés sees it as a sign that the Spanish language is being destroyed. “It’s difficult, but I try not to speak it –it feels vulgar to me.”Meanwhile, a surprising number of academics have spoken in favour of Spanglish. José María Ruiz, from NY State University, even runs courses in Spanglish and has written a dictionary. “It is a dialogue between two languages and cultures. We have to accept that languages change and evolve. The only languages that never change are dead ones.”1 The Spanish-speaking population has grown very fast recently.2 More people are interested in studying Spanish than before.3 Spanglish is mainly used in formal contexts.4 Norma Rodríguez doesn’t notice when she i s speaking Spanglish.5 Juan Cortés doesn’t speak Spanglish because he feels stupid when he tries.Key: TTFTF。

One strength of the human condition is our tendency to give and receive support from another under stressful circumstances. Social support consists of the exchange of resources among people based on their interpersonal ties. Those of us with strong support systems appear better able to cope with major life changes and daily hassles. People with strong social ties live longer and have better health than those without such ties. Studies over a range of illnesses ,from depression to heart disease, reveal that the presence of social support helps people fend off illness, and the absence of such support makes poor health more likely.Social support cushions stress in a number of ways. First, friends, relatives, and co-workers may let us know that they value us. Our self-respect is strengthened when we feel accepted by other despite our faults and difficulties. Second, other people often provide us with informational support. They help us to define and understand our problems and find solutions to them. Third, we typically find social companionship supportive. Engaging in leisure-time activities with others helps us to meet our social needs while at the same time distracting us from our worries and troubles. Finally, other people may give us instructivesupport----financial aid, material resources, and needed services----that reduces stress by helping us resolve and cope with our problems.21.Interpersonal relationships are important because________A. they are indispensable to people’s social well-beingB. they waken people’s desire to exchange resourcesC. they help people to cope with life in the information ageD. they can cure a range of illnesses such as heart disease, etc.22.Research shows that people’s physical and mental health________A. relies on the social welfare system which support themB. depends on their ability to deal with daily worries and troublesC. has much to so with the amount of support they get from othersD. is closely related to their strength for coping with major changes in their lives23.Which of the following is closest in meaning to the word “cushions”(line 1,para.2)?A.

Annual bike dales doubled between 1960 and 1970, and there are nearly 70 million bikes in the United States today. That’s more than two for every three automobiles.Of course, the bike has been around for more than 150 years , and this isn’t America’s first bicycle boom. A wave of bike enthusiasm swept the land in the late 1800s and bike production hit two million unites in 1897. Then with the coming of the auto ,bicycling declined ,and for decades remained popular only with children and a few adult faddists(追随时尚的人).Now, national preoccupation(重视)with air pollution and physical fitness has brought the bike back to the forefront -----particularly with adults. More than eight million bikes were sold in the United States last year and a third of them went to adults. The year before, only 15 percent ofnew bike sales were for adults.26. It can be concluded that if people continue to concern themselves with air pollution and physical fitness________A. stricter air standards will be enforcedB. fewer automobiles will be soldC. Americans will enjoy better healthD. bicycle sales will continue to rise27.The bicycle is _______A. enjoying a strong revivalB. creating traffic problemsC. popular only with childrenD. replacing the family car28.The reader can infer that Americans are _______A. quick to follow the example of othersB. interested in comfort and luxuryC. concerned with the quality of their livesD. childish in the way they relax and exercises29.It can be inferred that in America there are ______A. more bicycles than automobilesB. more automobiles than bicyclesC. as many bicycles as automobilesD. fewer automobiles than bicycles30.What is the author’s attitude to this phenomenon?A. NegativeB. PositiveC. NeutralD. CompromisingPassage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:Believe it or not, optical illusion (错觉) can cut highway crashes.Japan is a case in point. It has reduced automobile crashes on some roads by nearly 75 percent using a simple optical illusion. Bent strips, 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 forTraffic 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 selected roads around the country to test how well the patterns reduce highway crashes.Excessive speed plays a major role 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 bar.Chevrons, scientists say, not only give drivers the impression that they are driving faster than they are but also make a lane speed to be narrower. The result is a longer reduction in highway speed and the number of traffic accidents.31. The passage mainly discusses______A. a new way of highway speed controlB. a new pattern for painting highwaysC. a new approach to training driversE. a new type of optical illusion32. On roads painted with chevrons, drivers tend to feel that_______A. they should avoid speed-related hazardsB. they should slow down their speedC. they are driving in the wrong laneD. they are approaching the speed limit33. The advantage of chevrons over straight, horizontal bars is that the former________A. can keep drivers awakeB. can cut road accidents in halfC. will look more attractiveD. will have a longer effect on drivers34.The American Automobile Association Foundation for Traffic Safety plans to ______A. change the road signs across the countryB. try out the Japanese method in certain areasC. replace the straight, horizontal bars with chevronsD. repeat the Japanese road patterns35.What does the author day about straight ,horizontal bars painted across roads?A. They are falling out of use in the United StatesB. They tend to be ignored by drivers in a short period of timeC. They are applicable only on broad roadsD. They cannot be applied successfully to traffic circlesPassage FourQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:Crime has its own cycles, a magazine reported some years ago. Police records that were studied for five years from over 2,400 cities and towns show a surprising link between changes in the season and crime patterns.The pattern of crime has varied little over a long period of years. Murder reaches its high during July and August, as do rape and other violent attacks. Murder, moreover, is more than seasonal: it is a weekend crime. It is also a nighttime crime:62 percent of murders are committed between 6 p.m and 6 a.m..Unlike the summer high in crimes of bodily harm, burglary has a different cycle. You are most likely to be robbed between 6p.m. and 2 a.m on a Saturday night in December ,January, or February. The most uncriminal month of all? May -----except for one strange statistic. More dog bites are reported in this month than in any other month of the year.Possibly, soaring thermometers and high humidity(湿度) bring on our strange and terrifying actions, but police officials are not surer. “ There is ,of cours e, no proof of a connection between humidity and murder,” they say, “Why murder’s high time should come in the summertime we really don’t know.”36.The passage is about_______A. police recordsB. crime patternsC. the links between seasonal changes and the crime patternsD. the summer high in crimes37.For many years which of the following does not reach its high during the summer?A. RapeB. BurglaryC. MurderD. Other violent attacks38. In which month(s) are more dog bites reported?A. MayB. JanuaryC. DecemberD. June and July39.In which month(s) are the fewest crimes registered?A.

A第二部分:阅读理解Passage 1I was 15 when I walked into McCarley Bookstore and began to look over the titles of the books on the shelves. The man behind the counter, the owner of the bookstore, asked me if I would like a job. I needed to start saving for college, so I said yes.I worked after school and during summers for minimum wages and the job helped pay for my freshman year of college. I worked at many other jobs afterwards: I made coffee in the student union during college. I made maps for the U.S Forest Service. But selling books was one of the most satisfying.One day a woman asked me for books on cancer. She seemed fearful. I showed her everything we had and found other books we could order. She left the shop less worried and I?ve always remembered the pride I felt in having helped her.Years later, as a television reporter, I heard about a poor child who was born with his fingers of the left hand linked together. His family could not afford the corrective surgery, and the boy lived in shame, hiding his left hand in his pocket.I persuaded my boss to let me do the story on TV. After my story was broadcast, a doctor and a nurse called, offering to perform the surgery for free.I visited the boy in the recovery room after the operation. The first thing he did was hold up his repaired hand and say, “Thank you.” I was overjoyed and filled with a strong sense of reward.At McCarley Bookstore, I always felt I was working for the customers, not just for the store. Today it?s the same. NBC news pays me the salary. But I feel that I work for the viewers, helping them make sense of the world. My working experience in McCarley Bookstore helped me find a good sense of the world, and most importantly, it helped me find a good sense of myself.1. How did the author get the job in McCarley Bookstore?A. He happened to walk into the shop and got it by chance.B. He had always wanted to have a job in that bookstore and he succeeded.C. He liked reading books, so tried to get a job there.D. He did not go to school, so he looked for a job when he was 15.2. According to the author, selling books was one of the most satisfying job experiences, because ____________.A. he only had to work after school and got good wagesB. it helped him understand the world and himselfC. it helped him pay for his freshman year of collegeD. he did not feel that he was working for the store3. After he helped the fearful lady looking for books on cancer, the author was ____________.A. worried about herB. less worried about herC. unable to forget herD. proud of himself4. The author decided to help the poor boy by ____________.A. persuading his boss to do the story on TVB. persuading his boss to let him do the story on TVC. asking a doctor to perform the operation for freeD. visiting the boy in the recovery room after the operation5. The main reason that the author thinks his present job is the same as the one in the bookstore is ____________.A. it gives him salaryB. it makes him feel excitedC. it helps people make sense of the worldD. it enables him to work(Key: 1. A 2. B 3. D 4. B 5. C)Passage 2Paper was invented by the Chinese in the first century AD. Paper was not made in southern Europe until about the year 1100. Scandinavia - which now makes a great deal o f the world?s paper - did not begin to make it until 1500. Most paper is made from wood. Paper-making is an important British industry and paper from Britain is sold to many countries such as Australia and South Africa. Some of the wood used in the British paper making industry comes from trees grown in Britain, but wood is also bought from other countries such as Norway. One tree is needed for every four hundred copies of a forty-page newspaper. If half the adults in Britain buy one daily paper, this uses up over a thousand trees a day. All over the world, trees are being cut down faster than they are being planted, so there may be a serious need for paper at the beginning of next century.When we think of paper, we think of newspaper, books, letters and writing paper. But there are many other uses. Only half of paper is used for books and newspaper, etc. Paper is very good for keeping you warm. Each year, more and more things are made of paper. Now we hear that chairs, tables, and even beds can be made of paper. But the latest in paper making seems to be paper houses.1. Where was paper invented?A. In China.B. In southern Europe.C. In Scandinavia.D. In Britain.2. Scandinavia began to make paper ____________.A. in 1100B. in 1400C. in 1500D. in the first century3. Every four hundred copies of a forty-page newspaper will need ____________.A. half a treeB. one treeC. two treesD. more than one tree4. All over the world, trees are being cut down ____________ than they are being planted.A. more slowlyB. much fasterC. much more slowlyD. faster5. The latest things made of paper are ____________.A. chairsB. tablesC. clothesD. houses(Key: 1. A 2. C 3. B 4. D 5. D)Passage 3Many a young person tells me he wants to be a writer. I always encourage such people, but I also explain that there?s a big difference between being a writer and writing. In most cases they are dreaming of wealth and fame, not the long hours alone at a typewriter. “You?ve got to want to write,” I say to them, “not want to be a writer.”The reality is that writing is a lonely, private and poor-paying affair. Only a few writers were kissed by fortune, however thereare thousands more whose work is never rewarded. When I left a 20-year career in the U.S. Coast Guard to become a freelance writer, I had no proposals at all. What I did have was a friend who found me in my room in a New York department building. I didn?t even care that it was cold and had no bathroom. I immediately bought a used typewriter and felt like a good writer.After a year I still had n?t got a break and began to doubt myself. It was so hard to sell a story that I hardly made enough to eat. But I knew I wanted to write. I had dreamed about it for years. I wasn?t going to be one of those people who did wondering “What if”. I would keep p utting my dream to the test, even though it meant living with uncertainty and fear of failure. This is the Shadowland of hope, and anyone with a dream must learn to live there.41. The passage is meant to .A. warn young people of the hardships that a successful writer has to experienceB. advise young people to give up their idea of becoming a professional writerC. show young people it?s unrealistic for a writer to pursue wealth and fameD. encourage young people to pursue a writing career42. What can be concluded from the passage?.A. Good writers often find their work interesting and rewardingB. Writer?s success depends on luck rather than on effortC. Famous writers usually live in poverty and isolationD. The chances for a writer to become successful are small43. Why did the author begin to doubt himself after the firstyear of his writing career?.A. Because he wasn?t able to produce a single bookB. Because he hadn?t seen a change for the betterC. Because he wasn?t abl e to have a rest for a whole yearD. Because he found his dream would never come true44. The word “people” in the sentence “…peop le who did wondering…” in Paragraph 3 refers to those .A. who think a lot without making a decisionB. who regret giving up their career halfwayC. who think too much of the positive side of lifeD. who are full of imagination even upon death45. “Shadowland” in the last sentence refers to .A. the wonderful land one often dreams aboutB. the bright future that one is looking forward toC. the state of uncertainty before one?s final goal is reachedD. a word that exists only in one?s imaginationKey:41. A 42. D 43. B 44. A 45. CPassage 4If we were asked exactly what we were doing a year ago, we should probably have to say that we could not remember. But if we had kept a book and had written in it an account of what we did each day, we should be able to give an answer to the question.It is the same in history. Many things have been forgotten because we do not have any written account of them. Sometimes men did keep a record of the most important happenings in their country, but often it was destroyed by fire or in a war. Sometimes there was never any written record at all because the people then did not know how to write. For example, we know a good dealabout the people who lived in China 4, 000 years ago, because they could write and leave written records for those who lived after them. But we know almost nothing about the people who lived even 200 years ago in central Africa, because they had not learned to write. Sometimes, of course, even if the people cannot write, they may know something of the past. They have heard about it from older people, and often songs and dances and stories have been made about the most important happenings. And these have been sung and acted and told for many generations for most people are proud to tell what their fathers d id in the past. This we may call …remembered history?. Some of it has now been written down. It is not s o exact or so valuable to us as written history is, because words are much more easily changed when used again and again in speech than when copied in writing. But where there are no written records, such spoken stories are often very helpful.46. Which of the following ideas is not suggested in the passage?.A. Where there are no written records, there is no historyB. “Remembered history”, compared wi th written history, is less reliableC. A written account of our daily activities helps us to be able to answer many questionsD. Written records of the past play an important role in our learning of the human history47. We know very little about the central Africa 200 years ago because .A. there was nothing worth being written down at that timeB. the people there ignored the importance of keeping arecordC. the written records were perhaps destroyed by a fireD. the people there did not know how to write48. “Remembered history” refers to .A. history based on a person?s imaginationB. stories of important happenings passed down from mouth to mouthC. songs and dances about the most important eventsD. both B and C49. “Remembered history” is considered valuable only when .A. it is written downB. no written account is availableC. it proves to be trueD. people are interested in it50. The passage suggests that we could have learned much more about human history than we do now if the ancient people had .A. made more songs and dancesB. not burnt their written records in warsC. kept a written record of every past eventD. told exact stories of the most important happeningsKey:46.

As the most popular medicine in the world today, it is an effective pain reliever. Its bad effects are relatively mild, and it is cheap.Although aspirin was first sold by a German company in 1899, it has been around much longer than that. Hippocrates, in ancient Greece, understood the medical value of the leaves and tree bark which today are known to contain salicylates, the chemical in aspirin. During the 19th century there was a great deal of experimentation in Europe with this chemical, and it led to the introduction of aspirin. By 19l5, aspirin tablets(片剂) were available in the United States.For millions of people suffering from arthritis, aspirin is the only thing that works.A small quantity of aspirin (two five-grain tablets) relieves pain and inflammation. It also reduces fever by interfering with some of the body's reactions. Aspirin, in short,5 / 15《大学英语(四)》期末复习题is truly the 20th-century wonder drug. On the other hand, it is also the second largest suicide drug and is the leading cause of poisoning among children. It has side effects that, although relatively mild, are largely unrecognized among users.Aspirin is very irritating to the stomach lining, and many aspirin takers complain about upset stomach. There is a right way and a wrong way to take aspirin. The best way is to chew the tablets before swallowing them with water, but few people can stand the bitter taste. Some people suggest crushing the tablets in milk or orange juice and drinking that.6. This article discusses __________.A. the multiple functions of aspirinB. how and why aspirin was inventedC. the history and the features of aspirinD. how to take aspirin properly7.

The author of this article seems to be__________.A. against the use of aspirinB. in favour of aspirinC. doubtful about aspirinD. not interested in aspirinPassage 3Packaging is a very important form of advertising. A package can sometimes motivate people to buy products. For example, a little child might ask for a breakfast food contained in a box with a picture of a TV character. The child is more interested in the picture than in breakfast food. Pictures for children to color or cut out, games printed on a package, or a small gift inside a box also motivate many children to buy products - or to ask their parents to buy for them.Some packages suggest that a buyer will get something for nothing. Food products sold in reusable containers are examples of this. Although a similar product in plain container might cost less, people often prefer to buy the product in a reusable glass or dish, because they believe the container is free. However, the cost of the container is added to the cost of the product.The size of a package also motivates a buyer. Maybe the package has “Economy Size” or “Family Size” printed on it. This suggests that the larger size has the most product for the least money. But that is not always true. To find it out, a buyer has to know how the product is sold and the price of the basic unit.The information on the package should provide some answers. But the important thing for any buyer to remember is that a package is often an advertisement. The words and pictures do not tell the whole story. Only the product inside can do that. 11.“A buyer will get something for nothing” in paragraph 2 may tell us the following except _______.A. a buyer will not get what he pays forB. a buyer will get more than what he pays forC. a buyer will get something useful free of chargeD. a buyer will get more but pay less12.

In fact glasses or dishes used for packaging do not cost money at all.B. “Family Size” printed on the package mean s that it is rather economic.C. To a child, even to an adult, the form is far more important than the content.D. Words and pictures written on the package are thought to be an advertisement.15.

How to Attract More Buyers.Passage 4In Lusaka, Zambia, a young man applying for a job was told to see the manager. He leaned over the receptionist’s desk and asked. “What tribe(部落) is he?”When the receptionist told him that the manager was a Mashona, the applicant replied, “Then I'll never get the job.”This phenomenon is called tribalism(部落主义). There are more than 2,000 tribes in black Africa. Each has its own language, customs, and physical characteristics that make its members almost immediately recognizable to a person from another tribe. To the Westerner, tribalism is one of the most difficult of African customs to understand. It makes many people think of savagery, warfare, or old-fashioned customs.However, to most Africans, tribalism simply means very strong loyalty to one’s ethnic group. It is a force that can be both good and bad. By definition tribalism means sharing among members of the extended family. It makes sure that a person is taken care of by his own group tribesman. To give a job to a fellow is not wrong; it is an obligation. Similarly, for a politician or military leader, it is considered good8 / 15《大学英语(四)》期末复习题common sense to choose his closest advisers from people of his own tribe. This ensures security, continuity, and authority. Tribal loyalty may mean a quick promotion —from sergeant to captain, from clerk to manager—within a very short time.Modern African politicians publicly speak out against tribal divisions. Yet it remains perhaps the most powerful force in day-to-day African life.16. In paragraph 1, why did the young man believe his job application will be refused?A. His behavior was not appropriate.B. He belonged to the same tribe with the manager.C. He didn’t belong to the same tribe with the manager.D. His questions annoyed the receptionist.17. The situation in the first paragraph is an example of_______.A. the difficulty of getting a job in AfricaB. the disagreement on tribalism among AfricansC. the great numbers of tribes in AfricaD. the importance of tribalism in Africa18. What might be the common attitudes of Westerners towards tribalism?A. positiveB. indifferentC. negativeD. none of the above19. According to the article, which of the following is NOT an evidence of tribalism?A. Sergeants maintain security in his own tribe.B. Politicians choose men from his own tribe as intimate advisers.C. Military leaders promote fellow tribesmen to higher positions.D. Managers give jobs to fellow tribesmen.20. What would be the future of tribalism?9 / 15《大学英语(四)》期末复习题A. It will soon be destroyed by modern politicians.B. It will remain as strong as it is today and never be changed.C. It will gradually disappear as the society develops.D. It will speed up further division of tribes.第三部分:词汇与结构针对每个句子中未完成的部分有4个选项,请从A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
