weather is pleasant in April and May but historic sites can get crowded with school groups．Where to Stay:Walk through historic district sites from Albergo Cappello and stay at a modernHotel Centrale Byron．How to Get Around:Take the train from Bologna, and then walk, bike, or use taxis within the city．Where to Eat or Drink:Housed in a former movie theater,two-storey Ristorante Cinema Alex-ander blends 1940s Hollywood flavor with homemade Emilia Romagna courses and attentive service(helpful in translating the menu)． For fresh seafood, try Osteria L'Accigua and Da Buco．What to Buy : Watch the next generation of Emilia Romagna mosaic artists create contemporaryand traditional pieces in local studios where modern artists use the same methods as their Byzantineforefathers．What to Read Before You Go:Ravenna in Late Antiquity, by Deborah Mauskopf Deliyannis-． 2010) ,provides a wide-ranging look at the city's art, architecture, and history．(本题12分)1(单选题)In ancient times, mosaics were used to(本题3分)A display artistic achievementsB compete with Roman paintingsC explain religion and politicsD teach reading and writing标准答案： C2(单选题)Lots of school children visit historic sites such as Ravenna in(本题3分)A MayB JuneC SeptemberD October标准答案： A3(单选题)If you want to try fresh seafood,you should goto__________ .(本题3分)A Emilia RomagnaB Hotel Centrale ByronC Ristorante Cinema AlexanderD Osteria L'Accigua and Da Buco标准答案： D4(单选题)Why is Ravenna in Late Antiquity recommended in this passage?(本题3分)A Because it was written by a famous writer．B Because tourists get to learn a lot about the city from it．C Because tourists can get valuable tips for buying art pieces．D Because it provides useful information about the city's weather．标准答案： B23(阅读理解题)根据下面内容，回答问题：When you pat your pet dog, he wags (摆来摆去)his tail． That is his way of saying that he lovesyou． And, if you pay attention, you will see that he uses his tail to say so many things． Every move-ment of the tail means a different thing． If the dog iswagging its tail, it is a sign of friendliness ; if histail is straight, it means he is getting ready for a fight ; and if his tail is tucked (塞) behind his legs, itmeans he is giving up the fight．Unlike dogs, cats' tail language is not so expressive． When a cat feels threatened, he puffs him-self up to appear big and his tail shakes with tension． And when he is displeased with something, helashes out(甩动) his tail．The tail language of dogs and cats has a little story behind it． Earlier, when dogs and cats hadnot become friends with human beings, they were predators． They used to hunt other animals for theirfood． When dogs went out hunting with their friends, tail language came handy． When they were closeto each other, dogs could use facial expressions to talk． But, for long-distance c,o~mmunication, theyused their tails． Unlike dogs, cats liked to hunt alone． So, they did not need to use tail language toooften． As a result, their vocabulary in tail language is much smaller than that of dogs'．(本题12分)1(单选题)What does it mean when a dog's tail is straight?(本题3分)A It has a lot to say to you．B It wants to stop fighting．C It is going to fight．D It likes to be patted．标准答案： C2(单选题)A cat tries to appear big when it is __________ .(本题3分)A facing a dangerB unhappyC ready to huntD hungry标准答案： A3(单选题)Which of the following does the author intend to say?(本题3分)A Dogs and cats are not good friends．B Dogs are much friendlier than cats．C Dogs and cats are usually good pets．D Dogs use tail language more than cats．标准答案： D4(单选题)In the last paragraph, the underlined word "predato．rs" refers to __________ .(本题3分)A animals that follow and obey other animalsB animals that kill and eat other animalsC animals that live in the wildD animals kept by people标准答案： B24(阅读理解题)根据下面内容，回答问题：Like any teenagers, the face of One Teen Story is changing fast． Just a year old, the monthlymagazine of short fiction for young people is getting a new editor-in-chief: Patrick Ryan ,47, the asso-ciate editor of Granta from 2009 to 2013． He left the London-based literary journal last month．Editing One Teen Story--the younger sibling(姐妹篇）of One Story magazine--will offer Ryan achance to reach a whole new audience． "It's really the only magazine for young adult short fiction,"he says from his office in New York． "It's tremendously exciting that there are younger people outthere who have subscriptions and look forward to getting these stories once a month． That form is usu-ally only presented when it's forced upon them in schools． "Designed for readers 14 and up, One Teen Story publishes nine issues a year． Like its siblingmagazine, it doesn't carry photographs or advertising． It's just exactly what it says:one story per issue．Ryan says young people are "looking for engaging reads about people whom they can identifywith． It'snot about having a message or positive spin (说教)． It always starts on a character level,and it has to have an interesting story． If you look at the ' Twilight' characters and the ' HarryPotter' characters,they feel very contemporary． " Ryan also sees the magazine as a way to encourage talented authors． "I would love to make OneTeen Story the first publication for writers who then go on and keep at this business． I just really lovethe idea that this magazine would be the starting point for somebody--would be the push to make a talented writer feel that it was woah keeping at this．”(本题12分)1(单选题)Who is Patrick Ryan?(本题3分)A He is the editor．in．chief of Granta．B He is the editor—in—chief of One Story．C He is the editor．in—chief of“Twilight”．、D He is the editor—in-chief of One Teen Story．标准答案： D2(单选题)What is One Teen Story?(本题3分)A It is a story magazine for teenagers．B It is a London—based literary iournal．C It is a column of a newspaper．D It is a magazine of science fiction．标准答案： A3(单选题)According to Ryan。

I loved the countryside and the pubs， and I loved London. I've slightly changed my mind after seventeen years because I think it's an ugly town now. Things have changed. For everybody， England meant gentlemen， fair play， and good manners. The fair play is going，unfortunately， and so are the gentlemanly attitudes and good manners-people shut doors heavily in your face and politeness is disappearing. I regret that there are so few comfortable meeting places. You're forced to live indoors. In Paris I go out much more， to restaurants and nightclubs. To meet friends here it usually has to be in a pub， and it can be difficult to go there alone as a woman. The cafes are not terribly nice. As a woman， I feel unsafe here. I spend a bomb on taxis because I will not take public transport after 10 p. m. I used to use it， but now I'm afraid. The idea of family seems to be more or less non-existent in England. My family is well united and that's typically French. In Middlesex I had a neighbour who is 82 now. His family only lived two miles away， but I took him to France for Christmas once because hewas always alone. 41. The writer doesn't like London because she ______. A. is not used to the life there now B. has lived there for seventeen years C. prefers to live in an old-fashioned house D. has to be polite to everyone she meets there 42. Where do people usually meet their friends in England？ A. In a cafe. B. In a restaurant. C. In a nightclub.D. In a pub. 43. The underlined part “it” （in Para. 4） refers to______. A. a taxi B. the money C. a bomb D. public transport 44. The writer took her neighbour to France for Christmas because he______. A. felt lonely in England B. had never been to France C. was from a typical French family D. didn't like the British idea of family。

You should decide on the best choice, and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage 1I strongly believe that understanding is more important than love, especially when it comes to parenting and intimate relationships. As a psychologist for more than twenty years I can tell you that I have never had an adult looking back at her childhood and complaining that her parents were too understanding. And similarly, I have met many divorced people who still love each other but yet they never really understood each other.The painful reality is love is just not enough. I’ll admit that there are people who I love and who I still need to b etter understand. I hope I’ll continue my work to understand them. The willingness to understand is very important. It is not always easy, but healthy love is strengthened by the willingness to understand. Love without understanding will wilt like flowers without water.Our egos are what seem to get in the way of understanding those who we love and care about. Often it is our need to be right that makes what others think and feel so wrong for us. I have certainly been quite guilty of this in some of my relationships.As I have written repeatedly in my books, empathy, is truly the emotional glue that holds all close relationships together. Empathy allows us to slow down and try to walk in the shoes of those we love. The deeper our empathy, the deeper—and healthier— our love. Not all relationships are meant to be. Yet all relationships that are meant to flourish in a healthy way, must stress understanding just as much, if not more, than love.61. From the passage we know that________.A. the author complains about her parents ‘being too understandingB. the author has been studying marriages for more than 20 yearsC. people divorced mainly because they didn’t love each otherD. some people divorced because they couldn’t understand each other62. Why are we unable to understand the others sometimes?A. Because we are caring the others too much.B. Because it is quite difficult to understand the others.C. Because we believe we are always right.D. Because the others have done something wrong.63. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. Understanding is more important to parenting relationship than to other intimaterelationships.B. Understanding is less important than love as far as marriage is concerned.C. Understanding is more important than love to some degree.D. Understanding is more often neglected in parenting relationship.64. If we are to understand our partners, we should ________firstly .A. have willingness to do soB. have love for themC. get into connection with themD. care about them65. In this passage, the expression “walk in the shoes of” is similar in meaning to________ .A. befriendB. understandC. loveD. care aboutPassage 2Finally, the Christmas season is over. We can take a long breath, put up our feet, sip from a cup of good tea and relax. The frenzy, starting from Black Friday right after Thanksgiving until Christmas Eve, of gift shopping, buying, wrapping, giving, receiving, opening, returning…is exhaustive and time consuming, but it takes place every year.There is considerable difference between the cultures in China and western countries when it comes to gift giving. In China, it is not polite to open a gift in front of the gift giver, and gift is only looked at after the guest has left. Here in America, gift givers always wrap their gifts, large or small, priceless or valueless, carefully and decorate them with colorful ribbons and little pretty paper flowers; and the lucky receiver is expected to open the gift right away in front of the giver, with great eagerness and curiosity, and should always express appreciation with the all time truthful comment, “this is just exactly what I wanted!” Well, as a matter of fact, most people would take their “always wanted” gi fts back to the store to exchange for something they reallywanted.Finding a gift for somebody, even a close family member, you’ll have to know what the person likes and shop for days before you can locate the perfect gift. But, still the person may not like the gift from you. Nowadays, stores would provide two copies of the receipts for anything they sell as a gift, one of which is included in the gift package so that the receiver can come back for an exchange. I know, it was unthinkable to cash out gift you get, but, times are different. Another good way to avoid all that shopping hassle is to purchase a gift card from one of the stores and send it to your niece, nephews, or a family member, so that they can get whatever they want or even keep the money.66. Finding a gift for somebody is a(n)________.A. easy jobB. tough taskC. Must be jobD. arranged task67. It is quite ________ for Chinese people to open the gift in front of the givers.A. usualB. normalC.abnormalD. unusual68. Gift giving is the same thing in China and America in that ________.A. people spend a lot of time preparing a giftB. people would cash out the gift immediatelyC. people are eager to get a gift from a friendD. people are less willing to give gifts69. Which of the following is the author’s suggestion?A. Open the gift immediately in front of the giver.B. Wrap the gift carefully.C. Express the appreciation for the gift you receive.D. Buying a present card to avoid the trouble in shopping.70. The author’s attitude towards gift giving is________ .A. indifferentB. protestingC.objectiveD. supportivePassage 3They already guide blind and disabled people；now dogs are to be trained to help people with dementia(痴呆). The duti es of these “guide dogs for the mind” will include reminding their owners to take medication, as well as encouraging them to eat, drink and sleep at regular intervals.The dementia dogs will be trained to respond to sound triggers in the home that prompt them to perform tasks. These could include delivering a bite proof bag of medicine with a note inside reminding the patient to take it, or waking them up in the morning.The idea was developed by design students at the Glasgow School of Art and will now be put into practice by Alzheimer’s Scotland and Dogs for the disabled.Joyce Gray of Alzheimer’s Scotland said: “People in the early stages of dementia are still able to live a relatively normal life, and dogs help to maintain routine.”The other advantage of using the pets as companions is that conversation can be increasingly confusing for people with Alzheimer’s, but dogs can give them a sense of silent support and companionship. People light up when they see animals. They don’t need to communicate ver bally but they can still interact. You can have a speechless bond.The dog would also encourage the owner to take them out for walks, ensuring they keep exercising and interacting with other people.71. As is mentioned in the passage, the guide dogs will do the following except for________.A. helping ensure the owner doing some exercisesB. reminding the owner to take medicineC. communicating with the owner in a non verbal wayD. helping the owner recover from the illness72. Who will train the dogs to perform such tasks?A. The students who developed the idea.B. The owners of the dogs.C. The experts in Alzheimer’s Scotland.D. It is not mentioned in the passage.73. What is true about the people suffering from dementia?A. They would like to stay with other people.B. They can maintain routine.C. They will gradually lose the ability to live a normal life.D. They would like to talk in a different way.74. The guide dogs helping the people with dementia will________.A. respond to t he owners’ orderB. respond to a sound deviceC. act on the owners’ instructionsD. act on the trainers’ order75. Having a conversation with people with dementia will be________.A. difficultB. interestingC. confusingD. encouragingPassage 4It seems obvious that you don’t give away your product for free but this is exactly what indie rock group The Crimea did earlier this year. The band’s reasoning goes like this: more people will download the free album than would pay for it. Therefore more people will hear The Crimea’s music. These people will then pay money for concerts by the band and perhaps buy a T-shirt or other merchandise. If the band play regular concerts to crowds of 200 or 300 people they can make more money than they would from sales of a CD. There will always be some people who want something they can hold in their hands so they will release the CD into the shops too—but making money through sales of their music isn’t the top priority.The story illustrates the creative thinking going on in the music business in response to dramatic changes over the last few years in the way that people buy music. Sales of music digitally—to computer, phones and MP3 players rose to＄2 billion in 2006—an increase of almost 100 percent on the previous year—yet overall record company sales are down. People are simply not buying CDs in record shops in anything like the numbers they used to.This trend looks set to continue so the big question for the music industry is whether they can successfully manage the move to being primarily a digital industry without profits falling to unacceptable levels.There are both positive and negative signs. On the plus side, more and more people are buying music on mobile phones, which allows people to make impulse purchases—they can buy a song as soon as they hear it. Research by the UK mobile operator 3 suggested that 75 percent of 16 to 24year olds wanted to buy a track they liked as soon as they heard it. With so much competition for people’s disposable income, a product that you can sell immediately is a big advantage.The bad news for record companies, however, is the amount of music that is downloaded illegally.Piracy—usually in the form of cheaply copied CD—has long been an issue for the music business but the Internet means music can be copied and distributed freely through file-sharing sites on a large scale than ever before.It is this situation that leads bands to start giving away their music for free and promises to make the next few years a very interesting time in the music business.76. What is unusual about the Crimea’s business plan?A. Their business was given away free on the Internet.B. They gave CDs away free in shops.C. They played free concerts.D. They charged more for their CDs77. The Crimea hope to make money________ .A. through CD salesB. by giving concerts and selling T-shirts and other merchandiseC. by selling merchandise on the InternetD. through sales of merchandise in shops78. The Crimea also released CDs for sale in shops because________ .A. people who attend their concerts need themB. they want to make extra moneyC. there are still people who prefer CDs to other formatsD. people who fail to attend their concerts need them79. What is true about sales of music over the last year?A. Overall, sales are up last year.B. Overall, sales are down last year.C. There is no change compared to previous sales.D. It is not mentioned in the passage.80. What effect has the Internet had on music piracy?A. It has made it easier to fight piracy.B. It has increased the number of pirate CDs available.C. It has made it easier to illegally copy music.D. It has reduced the number of pirate CDs available.Part Ⅱ Cloze (1×20 points)Directions: There are 20 blanks in the following passage.

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 centre.Passage OneMost of my friends speak several languages. My friend Hans Kimmel, for example, speaks three languages—German, French and English. And my friend Pavlov speaks four languages— Russian, French, Spanish and English. Then there is Charles Zhou. His native language is Chinese, but he speaks three or four other languages fluently. I do not understand it. They speak, read and write all those languages, and I only know one language—English. Why can’t I speak any foreign languages? Am I stupid to learn a foreign language?Maybe it is all a question of home and environment. My parents do not speak any other languages, so of course we speak English at home. But look at Hans. His father is German and his mother is French. So he speaks two languages at home. And look at John’s family. His father is Russian and his mother is Spanish. So they speak two languages at home.Perhaps it is a question of geography, too. I live in the United States, and I can travel hundreds of miles with only one language— English. But it is different for Hans in Europe. He lives in Germany, but in a few hours he can travel to France, or to Italy, or to Holland, or to Denmark. So of course he hears other languages all the time. And he needs other languages.I am studying Italian this term at the university, but I am not learning very much Italian. I can not practice it at home or in restaurants or in stores. I only speak it three hours each week in the classroom. That’s al l. The rest of the time I speak English. Maybe I should go to Italy for a few months. Then perhaps I could really learn Italian.36. Who can speak French, German and English?A) The author himself. B) Hans Kimmel.C) Charles. D) John.37. The person whose mother tongue is Chinese is _________.A) a friend of Zhou’s B) PavlovC) Zhou D) Hans38. According to the writer’s opinion, the reason why he can not speak other languages is that _________.A) he is stupidB) he is not good at learning languagesC) he is not interested in learning languagesD) he lives in an English-speaking country and his parents don’t speak any other lang uages except English39. The writer thinks that if a person wants to learn a foreign language well, he should _________.A) study hard B) go to ItalyC) have a good language situation D) be clever and good at learning languages40. The writer’s native language is _________.A) Russian B) Italian C) English D) GermanPassage TwoAmerican Indians played a central role in the war known as the American Revolution. To them, however, the dispute between the colonists and England was peripheral. For American Indians the conflict was a war for American Indian independence, and whichever side they chose they lost it. Mary Brant was a powerful influence among the Iroquois. She was a Mohawk, the leader of the society of all Iroquois matrons, and the widow (寡妇) of Sir William Johnson, Superintendent of Indian Affairs. Her brother, Joseph Brant, is the best-known American Indian warrior (战士) of the Revolution, yet she may have exerted even more influence in the Confederacy than he did. She used her influence to keep the western tribes of Iroquois loyal to the English king, George III. When the colonists won the war, she and her tribe had to abandon their lands and retreat to Canada. On the other side, Nacy Ward held positions of authority in the Cherokee nation. She had fought as a warrior in the war against the Greeks and as a reward for her heroism was made “Beloved Woman” of the tribe. This office made her chief of the women’s council and a member of the council of chiefs. She was friendly with the White settlers and supported the Patriots during the Revolution. Yet the Cherokees too lost their land.41. What is the main point the author makes in the passage?A) Siding with the English in the Revolution helped American Indians regain their land.B) At the time of the Revolution, the Superintendent of Indian Affairs had little power.C) Regardless of whom they supported in the Revolution, American Indians lost their land.D) The outcome of the Revolution was largely determined by American Indian women.42. The italicized word “it” in the passage refers to ________.A) sideB) revolutionC) disputeD) independence43. Accord ing to the passage, Mary Brant’s husband had been a ________.A) government officialB) Mohawk chiefC) revolutionary heroD) Cherokee council member44. The italicized word “he” in the passage could be replaced by “________”.A) Sir William JohnsonB) the Superintendent of Indian AffairsC) Joseph BrantD) George III45. To which tribe did Nancy Ward belong?A) Mohawk.B) Iroquois.C) Cherokee.D) Greek.Passage ThreeIn 1801, Thomas Jefferson was the first president to take the oath of office in the nation’s permanent capital, Washington D.C. Although Washington was a new city, it was already familiar to President Jefferson. In fact, Jefferson had helped plan the c apital’s streets and public buildings. Besides being a city planner and architect, the new President was a writer, a scientist, and the inventor of several tools.Jefferson lived in the Presidential Palace. The Palace was more than a home; it contained offices for the President and some of his staff and advisors. It also included dining and reception rooms, where the President could entertain congressmen. However, President Jefferson did not give many formal parties. This was partly because there was no First Lady. Jefferson’s wife had died in 1782. But it was also because Jefferson liked to live in a simple fashion. Once, he showed up for an important meeting wearing old clothes and slippers! Neither Washington nor Adams would ever have dressed so casually.Jefferson was different from the first two Presidents in other ways, too. He disagreed with them about how the country should be run, and about what part a President should play in running it.46. According to the passage, the Presidential Palace was built to be ________.A) an office building and homeB) a meeting place for congressmenC) a homeD) an office building47. According to the passage, Thomas Jefferson was all of the following except ________.A) a writerB) a city plannerC) the third president of the United StatesD) a carpenter48. Thomas Jefferson did not entertain very often in Washington D.C. because ________.A) he did not have new clothesB) the food there was badC) he did not enjoy carefully prepared parties and there was no First LadyD) his wife did not like it49. Which of the following statements about Washington D.C. is TRUE?A) It was not the first capital of the United States.B) All the American presidents took the oath of office in Washington D.C.C) There were many old streets in Washington D.C. before 1801.D) Washington D.C. was planned by Thomas Jefferson.50. It can be inferred from the passage that George Washington and John Adams both ________.A) lived in the Presidential PalaceB) were rather formal gentlemenC) were different from Thomas Jefferson only in how to run the countryD) dressed casuallyPassage FourHigh above the bustling streets, honking taxicabs and crowded sidewalks, on the 24th floor of the landmark Empire State Building, is a month-old company offering New Yorkers a 20-minute nap... New York is called the city that never sleeps, but one small company wants that to change. Stressed-out customers arrive in a quiet, darkened room filled with futuristic (未来派的) chairs, or “napping pods,” where they can pay $14 (￡7.50) for their snooze. “MetroNaps is a place where busy New Yorkers get power nap in New York City,” says co-founder Arshad Chowdhury.White noise machines block out whispered conversation at the front desk. Sleepers stretch out in the leaning seats, which resemble plush dentists’ chairs, with blankets covering their legs and music piped into headphones. After 20 minutes, the sleeping pod wakes up the customer with a combination of vibrations and light.Chowdhury said nappers are encouraged to sleep just 20 minutes because a longer session tends to leave them more dazed than refreshed. Abdul Latif, a Broadway singer and dancer who likes to rest between an audition and a performance, said it was better to pay for a nap than to sit at a coffee shop. Another MetroNaps customer, writer and researcher Ben Stiller, said he needs that d aily nap. “This is what energizes me, this is what keeps me going,” he said.51. What is this passage about?A) The importance of taking a nap.B) How to have a good nap.C) A company that helps people take a nap.D) How to fall asleep in Empire State Building52. What does “snooze” in Para. 1 probably mean?A) Daydream.B) A short stay.C) Short-time sleep.D) A long break.53. What do you know about the nappers’ room?A) Sleepers lie in soft beds.B) Sleepers are covered with blanket from head to foot.C) It’s absolutely quiet in the room.D) Sleepers fall asleep with music in their ears.54. Nappers should sleep no more than 20 minutes because ________.A) it’s already very expensive for a 20-minute napB) you shouldn’t keep other p eople waiting too longC) napping too long makes them dazedD) napping too long is a waste of time55. How do some nappers think of the napping service?A) They think they would rather sit in a coffee shop.B) They don’t think they feel refreshed a fter taking a nap there.C) They don’t think they need that kind of napping.D) They feel energized after taking a nap.Part IV Translation ( 2 points×5=10 points )56. 他的表情说明他对周围正在发生的事情一无所知。

They are just the people who have always been around. They make a fuss over the children in the family, show off to their friends the achievements of this child or that child, and show countless pictures of new babies. Grandfathers can fix anything, and grandmothers always have homemade biscuits around.When you are small, it's fun to stay with your grandparents because they always let you do things you can't do at home, and, of course, they buy you things. They are always able to babysit because they don't go out much and actually prefer to see their grandchildren. They are usually good for a small loan now and then that doesn't need to be paid back because they turn it into a gift. You respectfully listen to their advice but don't thank them politely for what they do for you, and then don't call or visit them until you need something else. And, of course, you never tell them how dear they are to you because they know how you feel about them anyway. Then all of a sudden, they are no longer there to do the things that only grandparents can do, and you find yourself wishing that you had told them what they meant to you as people and not just as grandparents.31 What is the position of grandparents in the family according to the writer?（A）They are the most important people among family members.（B）They are the least important people among family members.（C）They are the ones at whom their children or grandchildren usually laugh.（D）They are the ones whom their children or grandchildren respect most.32 Grandparents usually do many things except( ).（A）buy their grandchildren things（B）look after their grandchildren（C）let their grandchildren do things they can't do at home（D）tell their grandchildren how dear they are to them33 Why don't children need to pay back the loan from their grandparents? （A）Their grandparents will forget the loan.（B）Their grandparents pay back the loan for them.（C）Their grandparents die before they have enough money to pay it back. （D）Their grandparents turn the loan into a gift.34 Children never tell their grandparents how dear they are to them because( ). （A）they don't like their grandparents（B）they take for granted everything their grandparents do for them（C）their grandparents know how they feel（D）they do not respect their grandparents35 How do children feel after their grandparents die?（A）They regret they didn't express their true feelings to them.（B）They feel sorry that grandparents are the least valued in the family.（C）They miss them very much because no one does the things that grandparents do. （D）They wish they had visited and called them more often.35 Many American colleges permit foreign students to live in college housing or housing not owned by the university, such as an apartment. College housing is usually in a dormitory, or dorm for short. Many foreign students say that the dorms are less costly than apartments. They say dorms offer quiet study areas and areas for social activities or sports. They say dorms are close to places they go every day, like the library, computer center and classrooms. They also say that living in the room provides the best chance to get to know other students.Dormitories may have as few as twelve students or as many as one thousand. Some dorms are organized into areas called suites. Suites have several bedrooms, a large, living area and a bathroom. Six or more people may live in one suite. Other dorms have many rooms along a hallway. Two students usually live in each room. On each floor there is a large bathroom for all the students who live on that floor. Sometimes there is also a kitchen for preparing food.In most universities, males and females live in the same dorm. They may even live on the same floor. But they usually may not live in the same room or suite. Most universities have some dorms for men and women.36 Where do some foreign students in American colleges prefer to live?（A）In a hotel（B）In a house（C）In an apartment（D）In a friend's home37 What may be the reason for a foreign student to choose to live in a dorm?（A）It is cheaper（B）It has a big living room（C）It is cleaner（D）It is owned by the university38 How many students can a dorm hold at most according to the passage? （A）Two（B）Six（C）Twelve（D）A thousand39 One of the advantages of living in a dorm is that( ).（A）it is easier for the students to get in touch with other students （B）the students can go to school library every day（C）the students can use personal computers freely（D）more than two students may live in one room40 Which of following statement is TRUE according to the passage? （A）All the students in a dorm share one large bathroom.（B）Students are not allowed to cook in the dorm.（C）Female students and male students cannot live in the same dorm.（D）Living in the dorm is helpful to develop your relation with others.40 Cars are an important part of life in the United States. Without a car, most people feel that they are poor. An even if a person is poor he doesn't feel really poor when he has a car.Henry Ford was the man who first started making cars in large numbers. He probably didn't know how much the car was going to affect American culture. The car made the Unite States a nation on wheels. And it helped make the United States what it is today.There are three main reasons the car became so popular in the United States. First of all, the country is a huge one and Americans like to move around in it. The car provides the most comfortable and cheapest form of transportation. With a car people can go any place without spending a lot of money.The second reason cars are popular is the fact that the United States never really developed an efficient and inexpensive form of public transportation. Long-distance trains have never been as common in the United States as they are in other parts of the world. Nowadays, there is a good system of air-service provided by planes. But it is too expensive to be used frequently.The third reason is the most important one, though. The American spirit of independence is what really made cars popular. Americans don't like to wait for a bus or a train or even a plane. They don't like to have to follow an exact schedule. A car gives them the freedom to schedule their own time. And this is the freedom that Americans want most to have.The gas shortage has caused a big problem for Americans. But the answer will not be a bigger system of public transportation. The real solution will have to be a new kind of car, one that does not use so much gas.41 When do most Americans feel they are poor?（A）When they don't have a car.（B）When they live in a huge country.（C）When they don't use planes.（D）When they have a car.42 Which of the following is NOT the reason why cars become popular in the United States?（A）The United States is not so huge.（B）Public transportation is not so convenient.（C）Americans like to be independent.（D）Americans like to move around.43 What public transportation is good in the United States?（A）Buses.（B）Trains.（C）Taxis.（D）Planes.44 What has caused a big problem for Americans?（A）A new kind of car.（B）Public transportation.（C）The gas shortage.（D）Poor people.45 Which of the following is NOT mentioned according to this passage?（A）Cars have made the nation on wheels.（B）Cars have made the United States have a gas shortage.（C）Nearly 80% of the American people have cars.（D）Cars have made American independent.45 There is a difference between science and technology. Science is a method of answering theoretical questions; technology is a method of solving practical problems. Science has to do with the facts and relationships between observable phenomena in nature and with establishing theories that serve to organize these facts and relationships; technology has to do with tools, techniques, and procedures for implementing the finding of science.Another distinction between science and technology has to do with the progress in each. Progress in science excludes the human factor. Scientists, who seek to comprehend the universe and know the truth with the highest degree of accuracy and certainty, cannot pay attention to their own or other people's likes or dislikes or to popular ideas about the fitness of things. What scientists discover may shock or anger people—as did Darwin's theory of evolution. But even an unpleasant truth is more than likely to be useful; besides, we have the choice of refusing to believe it! But it's hardly so with technology and we do not have the choice of refusing to hear the sonic boom produced by a supersonic aircraft flying overhead; we do not have the choice of refusing to breathe polluted air; and we do not have the choice of living in a non-atomic age. Unlike science progress, technology must be measured in terms of the human factor, The legitimate purpose of technology is to serve people in general, not merely some people; and future generations, not merely those who presently wish to gain advantage for themselves. Technology must be humanistic if it is to lead to a better world.46 Which of the following statements about science is NOT true?（A）Science provides answers to theoretical questions.（B）Science seeks to comprehend the universe.（C）Science aims to discover the inter-connections of facts and the rules that explain them.（D）Science serves people in general and can be measured in terms of the human factor.47 Which of the following statements about technology is NOT true?（A）Technology provides answers to practical problems.（B）Technology seeks to establish theories based on facts.（C）Technology helps change the material world.（D）Technology has to do with new designs and ways of making the things we use in our daily life.48 According to the author, scientific theories( ).（A）must be strictly objective（B）usually pay attention to people's likes and dislikes（C）should conform to popular opinions（D）always convince everyone49 The author states that technology itself( ).（A）is responsible for pollution and resource exhaustion（B）should serve those who wish to gain advantage for themselves（C）will lead to a better world if put to wise use（D）will inevitably be for bad motivation50 The tone of the author in this passage is( ).（A）ironical（B）critical（C）factual（D）arbitrary二、Cloze50 For many people today, reading is no longer relaxation. To keep up their work they must read letters, reports, trade publications, interoffice communications, not to mention newspapers and magazines—a never-ending flood of words. In【C1】______a job oradvancing in one, the ability to read and comprehend【C2】______can mean the difference between success and failure. Yet the unfortunate fact is that most of us are【C3】______readers. Most of us develop poor reading【C4】______at an early age,and never get over them.The main deficiency【C5】______in the actual stuff oflanguage itself—words. Taken individually, words have【C6】______meaning untilthey are strung together into phrases, sentences and paragraphs. 【C7】______, however, the untrained reader does not read groups of words. He laboriously reads one word at a time, often regressing to 【C8】______words or passages. Regression, the tendency to look back over【C9】______you have just read, is a common bad habit in reading. Another habit which【C10】______down the speed of reading is vocalization—sounding each word either orally or mentally as【C11】______reads.To overcome these bad habits, some reading clinics use a device called an【C12】______, which moves a bar(or curtain)down the page at a predetermined speed. The baris set at a slightly faster rate【C13】______the reader finds comfortable, in order to "stretch"him. The accelerator forces the reader to read fast, 【C14】______word-by-word reading, regression and sub vocalization practically impossible. At first【C15】______is sacrificed for speed. But when you learn to read ideas and concepts, you will not only read faster, 【C16】______your comprehension will improve. Many people have found【C17】______reading skill drastically improved after some training.【C18】______Charlie Au, a business manager, for instance, his reading rate was a reasonably good 172 words a minute【C19】______the training, now it is an excellent 1,378 words a minute. He is delighted that how he can【C20】______a lot more reading materials in a short period of time.51 【C1】（A）applying（B）doing（C）offering（D）getting52 【C2】（A）quickly（B）easily（C）roughly（D）decidedly53 【C3】（A）good （B）curious （C）poor （D）urgent 54 【C4】（A）training （B）habits （C）situations （D）custom 55 【C5】（A）lies （B）combines （C）touches （D）involves 56 【C6】（B）a lot（C）little（D）dull57 【C7】（A）Fortunately （B）In fact （C）Logically （D）Unfortunately 58 【C8】（A）reuse（B）reread（C）rewrite （D）recite59 【C9】（A）what（C）that （D）if60 【C10】（A）scales （B）cuts （C）slows （D）measures 61 【C11】（A）some one （B）one （C）he（D）reader62 【C12】（A）accelerator （B）actor（D）observer63 【C13】（A）then（B）as（C）beyond（D）than64 【C14】（A）enabling （B）leading（C）making （D）indicating65 【C15】（A）meaning （B）comprehension （C）gist（D）regression 66 【C16】（A）but （B）nor （C）or（D）for67 【C17】（A）our （B）your （C）their （D）such a68 【C18】（A）Look at （B）Take （C）Make （D）Consider69 【C19】（A）for（B）in（C）after（D）before70 【C20】（A）master（B）go over（C）present（D）get through三、Writing71 For this part you are allowed thirty minutes to write a composition on the topic: Should College Students Establish a Business?

The first is the sort of brain he is born with. Human brains differ considerably, some being more capable than others. But no matter how good a brain he has to begin with, an individual will have a low order of intelligence unless he has opportunities to learn. So the second factor is what happens to the individual—the sort of environment in which he is reared. If an individual is handicapped environmentally, it is likely that his brain will fail to develop and he will never attain the level of intelligence of which heis capable. The importance of environment in determining an individual’s intelligence can be demonstrated by the case history of the identical twins, Peter and Mark X. Being identical, the twins had identical brains at birth, and their growth processes were the same. When the twins were three months old, their parents died, and they were placed in separate foster homes. Peter was reared by parents of low intelligence in an isolated community with poor educational opportunities. Mark was reared in the home of well-to-do parents who had been to college. He was read to as a child, sent to good schools, and given every opportunity to be stimulated intellectually. This environmental difference continued until the twins were in their late teens, when they were given tests to measure their intelligence. Mark’ s IQ was 125 , twenty-five points higher than the average and fully forty points higher than his identical brother. Given equal opportunities, the twins, having identical brains, would have tested at roughly the same level.31．This selection can best be titled______.A．Measuring Your IntelligenceB．Intelligence and EnvironmentC．The Case of Peter and MarkD．How theBrain Influences Intelligence正确答案：B32．The best statement of the main idea of this passage is that______.A．human brains differ considerablyB．the brain a person is born with is important in determining his intelligence C．environment is crucial in determining a person’ s intelligenceD．persons having identical brains will have roughly the same intelligence正确答案：C33．According to the passage, the average IQ is______.A．85B．100C．110D．125正确答案：B34．The case history of the twins appears to support the conclusion that______.A．individual with identical brains seldom test at same levelB．an individual’s intelligence is determined only by his environmentC．lack of opportunity blocks the growth of intelligenceD．changes of environment produce changes in the structure of the brain正确答案：C35．This passage suggests that an individual’ s IQ______.A．can be predicted at birthB．stays the same throughout his lifeC．can be increased by educationD．is determined by his childhood正确答案：CSelling Expertise on the Internet for Extra Cash Teresa Estes, a licensed mental-health counselor, watched as business at her private practice decreased last year. Then the single mother turned to her keyboard to boost her income. Ms. Estes applied to become an “expert” on Live Person Inc., a Web site where clients pay for online chat time with professionals and advisers of all fields. For $ 1.89 a minute —a rate she set —the 39-year-old from Marianna, Fla., dispenses advice to clients around the globe. She spends about four hours a day online, often at night, when her daughter has gone to bed. “It was the economy,” she says of her move to take her skills online. “Live Person is more profitable than my private practice.” Ms. Estes had charged her private clients up to $ 75 an hour. As the recession(经济衰退)deepens, a small but growing number of people are taking their skills online, offering expertise or performing specified tasks for a fee. Labor-at-the-keyboard sites are gaining popularity as people increasingly turn to the Web in search of work. Internet job-search sites saw a 51% rise in traffic from January 2008 to January 2009, according to comscore Media Metrix, to 26.7 million unique visitors. Among the many fee-for-service Web sites out there, at least three are attracting a significant number of users —though consumers should exercise a healthy degree of skepticism(怀疑态度)when consulting any of these sites. Live Person seeks out experts on a slew of topics, including mental health, financial services, shopping and fashion, as well as psychics and spiritual advisers. Mechanical Turk, a Web service run by Inc., pays workers to perform tasks, such as cataloging products online. Associated Content pays contributors to write articles on a wide range of subjects, from organic flower gardening to how to apply for financial aid. Live Person went public in 2001, and the current version of the site was launched in late 2007. Today, the site has 30,000 registered experts, attracting an average of 100,000 people a year who pay for the offered services, says Chief Executive Officer Robert Locascio. Roughly 3,500 people have made contributing to the site their full-time job, he says. Associated Content reviews submissions in house and then decides how much to pay for them. The site, which specializes in how-to pieces and feature stories on news topics, had 237, 000 registered contributors and more than one million content pieces as of February, both about double from the same month a year ago. Sabah Karimi, a 26-year-old fromOrlando, Fla., left a career in marketing to become a full-time freelance writer and now spends between 8 and 10 hours a week writing forAssociated Content. She has been at it for about three years and says she earns roughly $ 1,000 a month from her past and current submissions. Mechanical Turk is based on “crowd sourcing” , or breaking a task into lots of tiny pieces and giving it to a big group of people to complete quickly. Most of these jobs —which the site calls HITs, for human intelligence tasks —pay just a few cents. Efficient Mturkers, as they call themselves, can make more than $ 100 a week doing things such as finding someone ‘s email address or labeling images of a particular animal in a photograph.36．What is the passage mainly talking about?A．The economic recession will last a few years.B．More people are taking their skills online to make money.C．Asking for advice through the Internet is a good way to solve your problems.D．People shouldn’t release their financial and personal details online.正确答案：B37．Live Person Inc. is a website where .A．people chat with each other and make friends freelyB．professionals and advisers help others for freeC．people pay money for applying to become an expertD．clients pay for online chat time with professionals and advisers正确答案：D38．Why are labor-at-the-keyboard sites gaining popularity?A．Because people love to work on the Internet.B．Because more people are finding jobs on the Internet.C．Because working on the Internet is easier than other ways of working.D．Because people are being asked to work on the Internet.正确答案：B39．What is Sabah Karimi’ s job?A．She is a part-time freelance writer.B．She is a news writer.C．She submits articles to Associated Content.D．She reviews articles for Associated Content.正确答案：C40．Mechanical Turk originated as a method to______.A．label images of a particular animal in a photographB．serve a variety of companies who need Web tasks performedC．help Amazon manage its product databaseD．find someone’ s email address正确答案：BThe greatest contribution to civilization in the century may well be the air-conditioning- and American leads just as amazing is the speed with which this situation came to be. Air-conditioning began to spread in industries as a production aid during World War II. Today most Americans need to take air-conditioning for granted to homes, offices, factories, theatres, shops, studios, schools, hotels, and restaurants. But not everybody is aware that high cost and easy comfort are merely two of the effects of the vast cooling of American. In fact, air conditioning has substantially altered the country’s character and customs. Many of the byproducts are so conspicuous that they are scarcely noticed. To begin with, air-conditioning transformed the face of America by making possible those glassy, boxy, sealed-in skyscrapers. It has been indispensable, no less, to the functioning of sensitive advanced computers, whose high operating temperatures require that they be constantly cooled. It has, at will, forced families into retreating into families with closed doors and shut windows, reducing the interactions of neighborhood life. It is really surprising that the public ‘s often noted withdrawal into self-pursuit and privacy has coincided with the historic spread of air-conditioning. Though science has little studied how habitual air-conditioning affects mind and body, some medical experts suggest that, like other technical avoidance of natural variations in climate, air-conditioning may damage the human capacity to adapt to stress.
