否则就听不成啦!Part 1 Compound Dictation(每小题:分)Directions: In this section you will hear a passage or passages three times. When the passage is read for the first time, you should listen carefully for its general idea. When the passage is read for the second time, you are required to fill in the blanks with the information you have just heard. Finally, when the passage is read for the third time, you should check what you have written.Questions 1 to 10 are based on the following passage.People who go to the emergency room with chest pains in the evening are more likely to be having a heart attack than those who go during the day. This fact is supported by research 1. .You would've heard this if you were here Tuesday at the 2.meeting of the American Heart Association.Dr. Michael Gibson said people who arrived at the 3.room at night with chest pains had an 11 percent risk of having a heart attack, compared with a 6.5 percent risk for patients who came in during the day.Gibson and his pared 813 patients who came to the hospital between 6 a.m. and 6 p.m. with 433 patients who came in between 6 p.m. and 6 a.m.The people who came in at night were younger than those who arrived during the day, and had experienced their 5.for a longer period of time before going to the hospital.Gibson's recent research has shown an association between people's sleeping and waking 6.and heart attacks. Most heart attacks 7.in the morning.He has some ideas about this. Gibson thought that one reason that night-time patients were much more likely to be having a heart attack may be that 8. .

Had not it beenSome friendships have a strength that will withstand even travel; others are by nature short-lived and travel merely hastens their dissolution (结束,终止).Perhaps I should make it clear that in discussing this matter of travel companions I am confining myself to Platonic (柏拉图式的) friendships. Intimate friends may well be the best companions of all. Compromises and concessions from such companions clearly spring from a recognized emotional base that colors every issue. I'll confine myself, then, to companions, male and female, who are sharing a trip solely for company. Why bother at all with a travel companion? Why not travel alone, shiftily (机智地) pursuing one's goal? Some of the answers are obvious. A pleasant fellow traveler eases the stress and tensions, adds to the delights and rewards and pays half the bills. However, a bad-tempered companion quite often brings you to the point where you devoutly (虔诚地) wish you were alone.Finding that suitable companion is something of an art and something of a gamble. But the choice should be determined by one important rule: travelers should be going on the trip with the same idea in mind. They should hold in common a theory of travel.1.Choosing a travel companion is hard and risky, because________.A. one may lose a friendB. one may suffer financial lossesC. one may be trapped in the dangerous situationD. one may miss the chance of finding the right marriagepartner2.When intimate friends travel together, ________.A. the trip will hasten their dissolutionB. the trip will make them closer to each otherC. they will find the right ways to solve problems due to theirrelationshipD. they will make more friends on trip3.It can be inferred from the passage that the companion talkedabout here is the person ________.A. one can think of developing a deeper relationship withB. one can travel with merely for companyC. one can count on for a free travelD. one can learn much from4.Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Choosing a travel companion won't lead to the loss of friends.B. Friendships cannot withstand the test of any trip.C. A travel companion is badly needed if one wants to take a trip.D. Like-minded people should travel together.5.Which of the following is the best title for this passage?A. Travel and Marriage-Two Similar ExperiencesB. Finding a Good Travel Companion-a Risky MatterC. Will Travel Damage the Friendship?D. Should One Travel Alone or in Another's Company?Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage. Silence is unnatural to man. He begins life with a cry and ends it in stillness. In the interval he does all he can to make a noise in the world, and there are few things of which he stands in more fear than of the absence of noise. Even his conversation is in great measure a desperate attempt to prevent a dreadful (可怕的) silence. He knows that ninety-nine percent of human conversation means no more than the buzzing (发出嗡嗡声) of a fly, but he longs to join the buzz and to prove that he is a man and not a waxwork figure. The object of conversation is not, for the most part, to communicate ideas. It is to keep up the buzzing sound. There are, it must be admitted, different qualities of buzz: there is even a buzz that is as exasperating (使人恼怒的) as the continuous ping (砰声) of a mosquito. But at a dinner party one would rather be a mosquito than a mute (哑巴). Most buzzing, fortunately, is agreeable to the ear, and some of it is agreeable even to the mind. He would be a foolish man, however, who waited until he had a wise thought to take part in the buzzing with his neighbors.Those who despise (看不起) the weather as a conversational opening seem to me to be ignorant of the reason why human beings wish to talk. Very few human beings join in a conversation in the hope of learning anything new. Some of them are content if they are merely allowed to go on making a noise into other people's ears, though they have nothing to tell them except that they have seen two or three new plays or that they have had food in a Swiss hotel.At the end of an evening during which they have said nothing at immense length, they are proud of themselves on their success as conversationalists.6.The significance of man's speaking ability is that ________.A. it proves his existence as a manB. it raises his position as a manC. it makes him enjoy meaningful conversationsD. it gets him out of trouble7.The statement that "ninety-nine percent of human conversationmeans no more than the buzzing of a fly" suggests that________.A. most of the human conversations are inspiring andinstructiveB. most of the human conversations are as irritating as thenoise made by a flyC. most of the human conversations can be dismissed asmeaninglessD. most of the human conversations can be regarded as theeffective activities8.According to the passage, a man will look silly if he ________.A. makes mistakes in the conversationB. feels reluctant to join in the conversationC. fails to communicate anything new to others in theconversationD. misunderstands others' meanings in the conversation9.In the author's opinion, the introduction of weather as aconversational opening indicates ________.A. the ignorance of the conversationalistB. the start of an acceptable conversationC. the coming of something newD. the boring nature of the conversation10. Which of the following statements is true, according to thepassage?A. At a dinner party, everyone prefers to talk like a mosquito.。

For blanks numbered from S8 to S10, write down either the exact words you hear or the main points in your own words. When the passage is read for the third time, check your answers.Questions 1 to 10 are based on the following passage or dialog.There are various types of questions asked at a job interview.Most job interviews start with chit-chat type of questions.They are designed to break the S1 (1)and get the conversation flowing. S2 (2)are questions like"Did it take you long to get here?","Did you find the place all right?","Were you able to find S3 (3)?" Most of these just require a"yes, no problem" type of S4 (4); you can elaborate if you wish. However, ensure that you don’t S5 (5) information that will give them a bad S6 (6) . If you say something like"It took me S7 (7)to get here. The traffic was so bad; I hate traveling to this side of town", it would not make a good impression. S8 (8) .More questions will be asked to find out a bit more about you. S9 (9) , or they may be hypothetical questions starting with"What if...?". These are aimed at finding out how you would handle a situation or at finding out your personalviews in certain areas.Whenever answering a job interview question, give as much information as you can.

For questions 8-10, complete the sentence s with the information given in the passage.Questions 1 to 10 are based on the same passage.Factors for Stre ss and anxietyAt some point in their lives virtually everyone will experience stressful events or situations that overwhelm their natural coping mechanisms. In one poll, 89% of respondents indicated that they had experienced serious stress in their lives. Some people are simply biologically prone to stress. Factors leading to stress andanxiety mainly are as follows:Risk factorsConditions that are most likely to be associated with stress and negative physical effects include the following:1. An accumulation of persistent stressful situations,particularly those that a person cannot easily control (forexample, high-pressured work plus an unhappyrelationship)2. Persistent stress following a severe acute response to atraumatic event (创伤性的) (such as an automobileaccident)3. Acute stress accompanying serious illness, such as heartdiseasePeople respond to stress differently, depending on different factors:1. Early nurturing: Abusive behaviour towards children maycause long-term abnormalities in thehypothalamus-pituitary system, which regulates stress.2. Personality traits: Certain people have personality traitsthat cause them to over-respond to stressful events.Genetic factors: Some people have genetic factors that affect stress, such as having a more or less efficient relaxation response. One study found a genetic abnormality in serotonin regulation that was connected with a heightened reaction of heart rates and blood pressure in response to stress. (Serotonin is a brain chemical involved with feelings of well-being.)1. Immune regulated diseases: Certain diseases that areassociated with immune abnormalities such as rheumatoidarthritis (风湿性关节炎) may actually weaken a response tostress.2. The length and quality of stressors: Naturally, the longerthe duration and more intense the stressors, the moreharmful the effects.Childhood factorsChildren are frequent victims of stress because they are often unable to communicate their feelings accurately. They also have trouble communicating their responses to events over which theyhave no control. Certain physical symptoms, notably repeated abdominal pain without a known cause, may be indicators of stress in children. Various conditions can affect their susceptibility to stress.Parental stress, especially in mothers, is a particularly powerful source of stress in children, even more important than poverty or overcrowding. Young children of mothers who are highly stressed (particularly if they were depressed) tend to be at high risk for developing stress-related problems. This may be especially true if the mothers were stressed during both the child's infancy and early years. Some evidence even supports the old idea that stress during pregnancy can have adverse effects on the infant's mood and behaviour. Older children with stressed mothers may become aggressive and anti-social. Another study suggested thatstress-reduction techniques in parents may improve their children's behaviour.Adolescent boys and girls experience equal amounts of stress, but the source and effects may differ. Girls tend to become stressed from interpersonal situations, and stress is more likely to lead to depression in girls than in boys. For boys, however, specific events, such as changing schools or getting poor grades, appear to be the major sources of stress.Work and stressIn a study of 46,000 workers, health care costs were 147 per cent higher in workers who were stressed or depressed than in others who were not. Furthermore, according to one survey, 40 per cent of American workers describe their jobs as very stressful, makingjob-related stress an important and preventable health hazard.Several studies are now suggesting that job-related stress is as great a threat to health as smoking or not exercising. Stress impairs concentration, causes sleeplessness, and increases the risk for illness, back problems, accidents, and lost time from work. Work stress can lead to harassment or even violence while on the job. At its most extreme, chronic stress places a burden on the heart and circulation that in some cases may be fatal. The Japanese even have a word for sudden death due to overwork, karoushi.Many institutions within the current culture, while paying lip service to stress reduction, put intense pressure on individuals to behave in ways that increase tension. Yet, there are numerous effectivemanagement tools and techniques available to reduce stress. Furthermore, treatment for work-related stress has proven benefits for both the employee and employer. In one study, at the end of 2 years, a company that instituted a stress management programme saved nearly $150,000 in workers compensations costs (the cost of the programme was only $6,000). Other studies have reported specific health benefits resulting from workplacestress-management programmes. In one of the studies, workers with hypertension experienced reduced blood pressure after even a brief (16-hour) programme that helped them manage stress behaviourally.In general, however, few workplaces offer stress management programmes, and it is usually up to the employee to find their own ways to reduce stress. Here are some suggestions:1. Seek out someone in the human resources department ora sympathetic manager and communicate concerns aboutjob stress. Work with them in a non-confrontational way toimprove working conditions, letting them know thatproductivity can be improved if some of the pressure is off.2. Establish or reinforce a network of friends at work and athome.3. Restructure priorities and eliminate unnecessary tasks.4. Learn to focus on positive outcomes.5. If the job is unendurable, plan and execute a careerchange. Send out resumes or work on transfers within thecompany.6. If this isn't possible, be sure to schedule daily pleasantactivities and physical exercises during free time.It may be helpful to keep in mind that bosses are also victimized by the same stressful conditions they are imposing. For example, in one study of male managers in three Swedish compa nies, those who worked in a bureaucracy had greater stress-related heart risks than those who worked in companies with social supports.CaregivingStudies show that caregivers of physically or mentally disabled family members are at risk for chronic stress. One study reported that overall mortality rates were over 60 per cent higher in caregivers who were under constant stress. Spouses caring for a disabled partner are particularly vulnerable to a range ofstress-related health threats, including influenza, depression, heartdisease, and even poorer survival rates. Caring for a spouse with even minor disabilities can induce severe stress.Intervention programmes that are aimed at helping the caregiver approach the situation positively can reduce stress, and help the caregiver maintain a positive attitude. A 2002 programme also demonstrated that moderate-intensity exercise was very helpful in reducing stress and improving sleep in caregivers.Caregiving among the health professionals is also a high risk factor for stress. One study, for example, found that registered nurses with low job control, high job demands, and low work-related social support experienced very dramatic health declines, both physically and emotionally.Anxiety disordersPeople who are less emotionally stable or have high anxiety levels tend to experience specific events as more stressful than others. Some doctors describe an exaggerated negative response to stress as "catastrophizing" the event (turning it into a catastrophe). Nevertheless, a 2003 study of patients with anxiety disorder did not find any differences in actual physical response to stress (heart rate, blood pressure, release of stress hormones) compared to people without anxiety.Lacking a social networkThe lack of an established network of family and friends predisposes one to stress disorders and stress-related health problems, including heart disease and infections. A study, meanwhile, reported that older people who maintain active relationships with their adult children are buffered against the adverse health effects of chronic stress-inducing situations, such as low income or lower social class. Another study suggested this may be because people who live alone are unable to discuss negative feelings as a means to relieve their stress.Studies of people who remain happy and healthy despite many life stresses conclude that most have very good networks of social support. One study indicated that support even from strangers reduced blood pressure surges in people undergoing a stressful event. Many studies suggest that having a pet helps reduce medical problems aggravated by stress, including heart disease and high blood pressure.1.According to the passage, stress and consequent effects canrise from conditions in which a person has to face challenging situations alone.A.

We want them to be confident and content. What can parents do to help their kids grow up to lead happy, productive lives? Experts advise:1. Helping them find their talents. In order to flourish, childrenneed to feel they are good at something. But sometimes parents need to nudge their kids to help them find their niche (合适的位置). So expose your children to as many interests as possible, then let them choose those they like best.2. Applauding their accomplishments. A study found that students whose parents fussed over their abilities were far more likely to do well in school—and in life—than students whose parents didn't show such support. So celebrate your kids' achievements, no matter how small and find a place to prominently display their trophies, awards and artwork. These reminders of past achievements will give your child the self-assurance he needs to meet the next challenge.3. Giving them responsibilities. Responsibilities help youngsters grow into mature, competent and self-motivated adults. So assign your children household chores when they are young—evenfour-year-olds can pitch in by picking up their dirty clothes and helping to set the table.4. Letting them make decisions and mistake s. Making their own decisions increases a child's sense of control and boosts theirself-esteem. And allowing kids to make wrong decisions—so long as doing so won't harm them—helps kids learn from their mistakes.5. Encouraging them to solve their own problems. As they grow, children need practice in communicating, standing up for themselves and compromising. One of the best places to learn these skills is at home. So the next time your child runs to you complaining that her brother is picking on her, step back and let them work it out. Of course, you'll need to enforce a few ground rules such as no swearing or hitting. But, for the most part, try to stay out of it.6. Enjoying them. Do things with your kids, not just for them. Tell them over and over how important they are to you and how much they please you. And laugh with them every day. All of this tells kids they are important, which helps them to develop a positive, confident self-image that can last a lifetime.1.Children are likely to do well in school if their parents________________.A. have high expectations on themB. appreciate their achievementsC. put great pressure on themD. expand their range of interest2.Parents can assign children housework ________________.A. when they are teenagersB. so as to relieve themselvesC. so as to enhance children's sense of responsibilityD. so as to share the heavy housework3.Which of the following statements is true?A. Parents should stand up for children whenever they areneeded.B. Parents should try to settle the dispute among children.C. Parents should stay out of any conflict among children.D. Parents should encourage children to communicate witheach other.4.It's advised by experts that children should________________.A. try every means to please parentsB. be entitled to make family decisionsC. be encouraged to solve their own problemsD. learn to make good decisions at an early age5.In writing this passage, the writer means to________________.A. criticize some wrong ideas held by parentsB. comment on some popular ways of family educationC. present some good ways of handling troublesome childrenD. offer parents some good suggestions on children educationQuestions 6 to 10 are based on the same passage. Exceptional children are different in some significant way from others of the same age. For these children to develop to their full adult potential, their education must be adapted to those differences.Although we focus on the needs of exceptional children, we find ourselves describing their environment as well. While the leading actor on the stage captures our attention, we are aware of the importance of the supporting players and the scenery of the play itself. Both the family and the society in which exceptional children live are often the key to their growth and development. And it is in the public schools that we find the full expression of society's understanding—the knowledge, hopes, and fears that are passed on to the next generation.Education in any society is a mirror of that society. In that mirror we can see the strengths, the weaknesses, the hopes, the prejudices, and the central values of the culture itself. The great interest in exceptional children shown in public education over the past three decades indicates the strong feeling in our society that all citizens, whatever their special conditions, deserve the opportunity to fully develop their capabilities."All men are created equal." We've heard it many times, but it still has important meaning for education in a democratic society. Although the phrase was used by this country's founders to denote equality before the law, it has also been interpreted to mean equality of opportunity. That concept implies educational opportunity for all children—the right of each child to receive help in learning to the limits of their capacity, whether that capacity is small or great. Recent court decisions have confirmed the right of all children—disabled or not—to an appropriate education, and have ordered that public schools take necessary steps to provide that education. In response, schools are modifying their programmes, adapting instruction to children who are exceptional, to those who cannot profit substantially from regular programmes.6.In Paragraph 2, the writer cites the example of the leadingactor on the stage to show that ________________.A. the growth of exceptional children has much to do with theirfamily and the societyB. the growth of exceptional children has little to do with theirfamily and the societyC. exceptional children are the key interest of the family andsocietyD. exceptional children are more influenced by their familiesthan normal children are7.What aspects of a society can be reflected by education?A. The national economic development.B. The international status of the society.C. The superstitious beliefs of the society.D. The central values of the society.8.The reason that the exceptional children receive so muchconcern in education is that ________________.A. they are expected to be leaders of the societyB. they might become a burden of the societyC. they should fully develop their potentialsD. their teachers like them very much9.From the last paragraph, we learn that the educationalconcern for exceptional children ________________.A. is now enjoying legal supportB. disagrees with the tradition of the countryC. was clearly stated by the country's foundersD. will exert great influence over court decisions。

Nevertheless, a 2003 study of patients with anxiety disorder did not find any differences in actual physical response to stress (heart rate, blood pressure, release of stress hormones) compared to people without anxiety.Lacking a social networkThe lack of an established network of family and friends predisposes one to stress disorders and stress-related health problems, including heart disease and infections. A study, meanwhile, reported that older people who maintain active relationships with their adult children are buffered against the adverse health effects of chronic stress-inducing situations, such as low income or lower social class. Another study suggested this may be because people who live alone are unable to discuss negative feelings as a means to relieve their stress.Studies of people who remain happy and healthy despite many life stresses conclude that most have very good networks of social support. One study indicated that support even from strangers reduced blood pressure surges in people undergoing a stressful event. Many studies suggest that having a pet helps reduce medical problems aggravated by stress, including heart disease and high blood pressure.1.According to the passage, stress and consequent effects canrise from conditions in which a person has to face challenging situations alone.A.

We want them to be confident and content. What can parents do to help their kids grow up to lead happy, productive lives? Experts advise:1. Helping them find their talents. In order to flourish, childrenneed to feel they are good at something. But sometimes parents need to nudge their kids to help them find their niche (合适的位置). So expose your children to as many interests as possible, then let them choose those they like best.2. Applauding their accomplishments. A study found that students whose parents fussed over their abilities were far more likely to do well in school—and in life—than students whose parents didn't show such support. So celebrate your kids' achievements, no matter how small and find a place to prominently display their trophies, awards and artwork. These reminders of past achievements will give your child the self-assurance he needs to meet the next challenge.3. Giving them responsibilities. Responsibilities help youngsters grow into mature, competent and self-motivated adults. So assign your children household chores when they are young—evenfour-year-olds can pitch in by picking up their dirty clothes and helping to set the table.4. Letting them make decisions and mistakes. Making their own decisions increases a child's sense of control and boosts theirself-esteem. And allowing kids to make wrong decisions—so long as doing so won't harm them—helps kids learn from their mistakes.5. Encouraging them to solve their own problems. As they grow, children need practice in communicating, standing up for themselves and compromising. One of the best places to learn these skills is at home. So the next time your child runs to you complaining that her brother is picking on her, step back and let them work it out. Of course, you'll need to enforce a few ground rules such as no swearing or hitting. But, for the most part, try to stay out of it.6. Enjoying them. Do things with your kids, not just for them. Tell them over and over how important they are to you and how much they please you. And laugh with them every day. All of this tells kids they are important, which helps them to develop a positive, confident self-image that can last a lifetime.1.Children are likely to do well in school if their parents________________.A. have high expectations on themB. appreciate their achievementsC. put great pressure on themD. expand their range of interest2.Parents can assign children housework ________________.A. when they are teenagersB. so as to relieve themselvesC. so as to enhance children's sense of responsibilityD. so as to share the heavy housework3.Which of the following statements is true?A.

Parents should encourage children to communicate witheach other.4.It's advised by experts that children should________________.A. try every means to please parentsB. be entitled to make family decisionsC. be encouraged to solve their own problemsD. learn to make good decisions at an early age5.In writing this passage, the writer means to________________.A. criticize some wrong ideas held by parentsB. comment on some popular ways of family educationC. present some good ways of handling troublesome childrenD. offer parents some good suggestions on children educationQuestions 6 to 10 are based on the same passage. Exceptional children are different in some significant way from others of the same age. For these children to develop to their full adult potential, their education must be adapted to those differences.Although we focus on the needs of exceptional children, we find ourselves describing their environment as well. While the leading actor on the stage captures our attention, we are aware of the importance of the supporting players and the scenery of the play itself. Both the family and the society in which exceptional children live are often the key to their growth and development. And it is in the public schools that we find the full expression of society's understanding—the knowledge, hopes, and fears that are passed on to the next generation.Education in any society is a mirror of that society. In that mirror we can see the strengths, the weaknesses, the hopes, the prejudices, and the central values of the culture itself. The great interest in exceptional children shown in public education over the past three decades indicates the strong feeling in our society that all citizens, whatever their special conditions, deserve the opportunity to fully develop their capabilities."All men are created equal." We've heard it many times, but it still has important meaning for education in a democratic society. Although the phrase was used by this country's founders to denote equality before the law, it has also been interpreted to mean equality of opportunity. That concept implies educational opportunity for all children—the right of each child to receive help in learning to the limits of their capacity, whether that capacity is small or great. Recent court decisions have confirmed the right of all children—disabled or not—to an appropriate education, and have ordered that public schools take necessary steps to provide that education. In response, schools are modifying their programmes, adapting instruction to children who are exceptional, to those who cannot profit substantially from regular programmes.6.In Paragraph 2, the writer cites the example of the leadingactor on the stage to show that ________________.A. the growth of exceptional children has much to do with theirfamily and the societyB. the growth of exceptional children has little to do with theirfamily and the societyC. exceptional children are the key interest of the family andsocietyD. exceptional children are more influenced by their familiesthan normal children are7.What aspects of a society can be reflected by education?A. The national economic development.B. The international status of the society.C. The superstitious beliefs of the society.D. The central values of the society.8.The reason that the exceptional children receive so muchconcern in education is that ________________.A. they are expected to be leaders of the societyB. they might become a burden of the societyC. they should fully develop their potentialsD. their teachers like them very much9.From the last paragraph, we learn that the educationalconcern for exceptional children ________________.A. is now enjoying legal supportB. disagrees with the tradition of the countryC. was clearly stated by the country's foundersD. will exert great influence over court decisions。

They differ in kind and function. The function of teaching is to create the conditions and the climate that will make it possible for children to devise the most efficient system for teaching themselves to read. Teaching is also a public activity: it can be seen and observed.Learning to read involves all that each individual does to make sense of the world of printed language. Almost all of it is private, for learning is an occupation of the mind, and that process is not open to public examination.If teacher and learner roles are distinguishable, how can teaching aid the child in the quest for knowledge? Smith has one principal rule for all teaching instructions. "Make learning to read easy, which means making reading a meaningful, enjoyable and frequent experience for children."When the roles of teacher and learner are seen for what they are, and when both teacher and learner fulfill them appropriately, then much of the pressure and feeling of failure for both is eliminated. Learning to read is made easier when teachers create an environment where children are given the opportunity to solve the problem of learning to read by reading.1.The problem with the reading course as mentioned in the firstparagraph is that ________.A. it is one of the most difficult school coursesB. too much time is spent in teaching about readingC. students spend endless hours in readingD. reading tasks are assigned with little guidance2.The teaching of reading will be successful if ________.A. teachers can enable students to develop their own way of readingB. teachers can improve conditions at school for the studentsC. teachers can devise the most efficient system for readingD. teachers can make their teaching activities observable3.The word "examination" at the end of Paragraph 3 mostprobably means "________".A. inquiryB. observationC. controlD. suspicion4.According to the passage, learning to read will no longer be adifficult task when ________.A. children become highly motivatedB. teacher and learner roles are identicalC. teaching helps children in the search for knowledgeD. reading enriches children's experience5.The main idea of the passage is that ________.A. teachers should do as little as possible in helping studentslearn to readB. teachers should encourage students to read as widely aspossibleC. reading ability is something acquired rather than taughtD. reading is more complicated than generally believedQuestions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage or dialog.Before going to high school, I had a very simple view of life. I usually did not think about the subjects of crime, poverty, or homelessness. As far as I knew, these things did not exist. The area around my school forced my eyes open as early as the first day of school. On the long bus ride through the city, I saw homeless dogs walking the streets. I also clearly recall seeing a homeless person picking through a trash can for the first time ever. The poverty ofthe area around my school made me see how truly lucky I was. I now began to appreciate everything which had been handed to me in life. In the long run, this led me to put a lot more faith in God because of all that He had given me. I started going to religious services more often. This also indirectly led to my involvement in the community around the school.Students' lives become enriched simply by attending an inner-city school. When a person is exposed to city life, many different advantages can be gained. For someone who had lived in the suburbs all his life, such as myself, a new style of living can be experienced. This alone expands one's views of life in general. The religious aspect of my life grew, I was easily able to get involved in community service projects, and I became much more aware of the dangers which exist in the city. Going to school in the city helped me to overcome the simple views I once had, and I am now better prepared to take on the challenges which await me in life.6.What sort of school does the author go to?A. A religious school.B. A high school.C. A community school.D. A school for poor people.7.What did the author begin to realize after she startedattending her school?A. The bus ride to her school was long.B. Crime, poverty, and homelessness really existed.C. Homeless people often eat out of the trash.D.

At her school.10.How does the author feel about inner-city schools?A. They are very dangerous.B. They are religious.C. They are prepared.D. They are very good in ways.Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage or dialog.Elderly people respond best to a calm and unhurried environment. This is not always easy to provide as their behavior can sometimes be difficult to handle. If they get excited or upset then they may become more confused and more difficult to look after. Although sometimes it can be extremely difficult, it is best to be patient and not to get upset yourself. You should always encourage old people to do as much as possible for themselves but be ready to lend a helping hand when necessary.Failing memory makes it difficult for the person to recall all the basic kinds of information we take for granted. The obvious way to help in this situation is to supply the information that is missing and help them make sense of what is going on. You must use every opportunity to provide information but remember to keep it simple and direct."Good morning, Mother. This is Fiona, your daughter. It's eighto'clock, so if you get up now, we can have breakfast downstairs."When the elderly person makes confused statements, e.g. about going out to his or her old employment or visiting a dead relative, correct him in a calm matter-of-fact fashion: "You don't work in the office any more. You are retired now. Will you come and help me with the dishes?"We rely heavily on the information provided by signposts, clocks, and newspapers. These assist us to organize and direct our behavior. Confused old people need these aids all the time to compensate for their poor memory. Encourage them to use reminder boards or diaries for important coming events and label the contents of different boxes. Many other aids such as information cards, old photos, addresses or shopping lists could help in individual cases.11.When do elderly people respond best?A. When they are calm and unhurried.B. When people tell them to be calm and unhurried.C. When their environment is calm and unhurried.D. When others are calm and unhurried.12.What should you encourage old people to do?A. To do as little as possible.B. To do as much as they can.C. To help others when needed.D. To be patient and not get upset.13.How should we provide information to old people with failingmemories?A. By being helpful.B. By being direct.C. By being sensitive.D. By being obvious.14.What is the purpose of information provided on such things assignposts?A. To help us organize and direct our behavior.B. To help us make use of newspapers.C. To help us correct other people.D. To help us understand statements.15.Besides diaries, what else can help old people remembersignificant coming events?A. Labels.B. Reminder boards.C. Information cards.D. Photos.Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage or dialog.Society usually tends to focus on the negative side of inner-city schools. Many people like to stereotype (模式化) these schools which, while these general statements may be true in some cases, tend to be worse most of the time. People think that the students of these schools receive inferior educations. My school, an inner-city school named St. Ignatius, is regarded as one of the best in the state. People also believe that violence occurs on a daily basis, both in the school itself and in the nearby city. I cannot even remember a serious fight at St. Ignatius. People who think that the teachers at inner-city schools lack love for their job worsen this typical stereotype even further. My teachers not only had a love for teaching, but they were also able to cultivate a love for learning in their students.Take Mrs. Borroni, my Spanish teacher, for example. She wouldoften take time out of her class to tell her students about the numerous activities after class with which we should get involved. She loved her job so much that she stayed after school every day to moderate activities such as "Amnesty International" (an international organization that protects human rights) and the Spanish Club. Her students, including me, joined all of the clubs which she moderated just because she made them so interesting.After reading all of this, most people would argue that St. Ignatius should not be considered a true "inner-city school". While this may hold some truth, I am arguing that my life was greatly enriched simply because of the school's location in the middle of Cleveland, as opposed to a poor suburban area.16.What do people often think negatively about?A. Inner-city schools.B. Stereotypes.C. St. Ignatius.D. Violence.17.What can the author never remember seeing at St. Ignatius?A. Amnesty International.B. A serious fight.C. A Spanish club.D. Inferior students.18.What would Mrs. Borroni do after school?A. Give Spanish classes.B. Tell students about activities.C. Guide students in special groups.D.
