Internet Hoaxes The Internet has given birth to a proliferation(增殖)of hoaxes. E-mail inboxes are bombarded on an almost daily basis with messages warning of terrible computer viruses that cause users to delete benign(良性)chunks of data from their hard drives, or of credit card scams that entice the naive to give all their personal information, including passwords and ban account details, to identity thieves.

Read Read Read the the the passage passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words on Answer Sheet 2. Questions 47 to 51 are based on the following passage. Wild ducks and other migratory(迁移的) birds could be important carriers of deadly bird flu, researchers say. Even so, the infectious-disease experts say there is no solid basis for killing wild birds to protect poultry and minimize the risk human infection. The European team investigating the global spread of the H5N1 strain of avian influenza(禽流感)says certain duck species may be infecting wild bird populations. Geese and wading birds are also possible vectors(带菌者)of the virus, the team says. The team's study was led by Björn Olsen of Umea University in Sweden. Olsen runs Europe's largest wild-bird flu monitoring program. Studies have shown that influenza viruses in lake water, generally passed via bird feces(粪), can stay infectious for up to 30 days. The migration or feeding behavior of dabbling ducks could at least partially explain the spread of the H5N strain of bird flu, the researchers add. This group of duck species includes mallards, teal, pintails, and others that feed at or near the surface, where viruses water are most likely to be picked up. Perhaps as a result, dabblers have the highest known rates of avian influenza infecti the the study study study says. says. says.

Other Other Other species species species tested tested tested include include include the the American black duck (18.1 percent), blue-winged teal (11.5 percent), and northern pintail (11.2 percent). However, bird flu viruses appear to exist in ducks in a low-pathogenic form, meaning infection doesn't usually lead to severe illness and death. "Dabbling "Dabbling ducks ducks ducks are are are for for for sure sure sure the the the prime prime prime hosts hosts hosts for for for low low low pathogenic pathogenic pathogenic viruses," viruses," viruses," said said said study study study co-author co-author co-author Ron Ron Ron Fouchier, Fouchier, Fouchier, a a virologist at the Erasmus Medical Center in Rotterdam, Netherlands. "But the big question is, how much of our knowledg about these viruses can we translate to high-pathogenic viruses such as the H5N1 strain of bird flu?" In poultry avian viruses can mutate(变异)into more virulent influenza strains, including H5N1. If this mutated virus then finds its way back into wild populations, the birds could then spread the disease through migration. Some Some scientists scientists scientists have have have argued argued argued that that that wild wild wild birds birds birds infected infected infected with with with HN51 HN51 HN51 would would would be be be too too too ill ill ill to to to migrate. migrate. migrate. Swans, Swans, Swans, for for for instance, instance, appear to be particularly vulnerable to the strain. "Swans apparently drop dead quite easily, but they are unlikely to be t vector because they are not going to fly very far if they are dead," Fouchier said. But the study team says that some birds that have been purposely infected for the sake of research show that wild bir can survive H5N1. "For some reason H5N1 has adapted so it no longer kills dabbling ducks," Fouchier said. This means th ducks may be able to spread the virus over a wide area. The study team says migratory geese may also be vectors, because they often graze in huge flocks, a practice that cou encourage transmission. Migrating ducks, the researchers add, "could provide an intercontinental bridge" for bird flu to North America, which has not yet had any known cases of H5N1. 47. According to the author, what may be the possible carriers of bird flu? 48. The main sources of influenza viruses in lake water are ________, which may stay infectious for up to 30 days. 49. By saying "bird flu viruses appear to exist in ducks in a low-pathogenic form" (Para. 6), the author suggests th infection ________. 50. On what condition can the birds spread the influenza through migration? 51. According to the study team, ________ is a practice that can encourage transmission of the bird flu.

As one of a handful of similar projects around the country, the garden is part of a $1.5 million demonstration projecte by the city to reduce its "urban heat islands", said William Abolt, the commissioner of the Department of Environment. Heat islands-dark surfaces in the city, like rooftops-soak up heat. The retention can bake a building, making it stubborn to cooling. The roof of City Hall, a 90-year-old gray stone landmark on LaSalle Street in the heart of downtown, has been know to reach temperature substantially hotter than the actual temperature on the street below.

正确答案:Be a Civilized Tourist [1] With the improvement of people’s living standards, more and more Chinese enjoy traveling abroad these years.[2] Unfortunately, many tourists traveling abroad have not behaved themselves well.[3] They talk loudly in public places, drop rubbish everywhere, jump queues, and ignore local regulations. [4] Some even scribble in tourist attractions, leaving marks on scenic spots. [5] All the uncivilized behavior has caused bad effect. [6] It has brought inconveniences to local people, and has made the scenic spots dirty and less popular. [7] Besides, it has left a bad impression on the local people, who might thus think that all the Chinese people are inconsiderate and impolite. [8] Then, how can we be civilized and courteous tourists? [9] I think the key to being a popular tourist is to “Do in Rome as the Romans do.” [10] Therefore, we need first learn the foreign cultures and local conventions and customs before we go traveling abroad. Then we should always beware and try to get rid of our bad habits when we are in a foreign place. [11] Only in this way can our experience abroad be pleasant and fruitful.解析:[1] 由出境游人口增加引出游客不良行为的话题。

Each passage is followed bysome 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 1Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage:According to Forrester Research, 8.6 million online shoppers access the Internetvia a high-speed connection, compared to 12 million using dial-up. Taken alone,those findings are hardly groundbreaking. What’s noteworthy is the rest of thepicture that emerges from that study: Those broadband users are younger, richer, and better informed than their narrowband counterparts. They spend more time and money online and are more likely to buy customized products and services.So why hasn’t the Internet become the focus for broadband companies seeking toestablish relationships with a demographic that has demonstrated a preference for their product? Simply put, until recently, their attempts fell flat.Just over a year ago, our agency launched an online performance-based e-marketing campaign to promote a broadband service. Despite engaging creative and a compelling offer, it met with resounding silence. Six months later, the response was only marginally better.So we were only cautiously optimistic two months later when we launched anothercampaign for the same advertiser, using the same offer. This time, it was a success. Response rates tripled and the customer acquisition cost dropped from $300 to under $100.Clearly, the floodgates have opened and the most sought-after consumers are rushing through to broadband. And while the surge in response wasn’t a complete surprise given the emphasis placed on marketing broadband services, it was enough to make us curious about what other factors were at play.What we discovered was a scenario where so many people have experienced broadband’s superiority at work, school, and even in friends’homes that they know what they’re missing.According to U.S. News & World Report, some 20 million households nationwide nowhave broadband, with another 100,000 signing up each week. That saturation hascreated a market of increasingly discontent dial-up subscribers for broadband companies to reach.Imagine the impact when -- as dial-up users impatiently wait for Web pages to load -- an ad pops up promising lightning-fast access. Their response starts an ongoing relationship managed through newsletters and other e-mail communications designed to keep them informed about value-added services, special promotions, etc. Not only is it a demographic pre-disposed to online CRM, it is also one that isfar from oversold. In fact, less than one-third of U.S. households will subscribe to a broadband service by 2006. And as services designed specifically for broadband increase and support for dial-up declines, the 42 percent of Internet users who said they didn’t need broadband will become receptive to a well-focused CRM program. But it won’t last forever. While the window of opportunity to reach broadband buyers online is open, it’s not likely to stay that way. Broadband may be the current heir apparent for connectivity, but wireless has given every indication it will be a sleeper hit, emerging from nowhere to take the top spot.In short, the time for broadband companies to establish online customer relationships is now -- before the window slams shut.21. What is NOT mentioned as the result of Forrester Research in the first paragraph? A) A lot of online shoppers access the Internet by broadband.B) Broadband users get more information than the dial-up users.C) It is probable for broadband users to buy the products specially made for them. D) It is the first time for people to find out the number of broadband and narrowband users.22. What did the online performance-based e-marketing campaign bring at first?A) The promotion of a broadband service.B) Cautious responses.C) No response at all.D) Some marginal responses.23. Why did another campaign become a success later?A) Because the agency has used a compelling offer.B) Because people have enjoyed the broadband’s advantages in their daily life.C) Because the agency has spent a lot of money on the advertisements.D) Because people become curious about the broadband.24. It can be inferred from the passage that____.A) Few is likely to use dial-up in the future.B) Broadband companies should establish online customer relationships now.C) About 20 million households nationwide now have broadband.D) People design more services specially for broadband.25. What is the main idea of this passage?A) How Forrester Research got the valuable information.B) Why people want to use broadband.C) How broadband services find success in online CRM.D) Broadband services have great influence on people.Passage 2Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage:The following passage is an opening speech by Lord Weidenfeld, founder of the Europaeum and Chairman, Weidenfeld and Nicolson Publishers I am very privileged and gratified to talk to you today. I think it is most appropriate to have this meeting at the Humboldt University, Berlin, because of the impulse to the creation to the European network, to the sequence of events, and that great turning point of history, which is symbolised by the fall of the Berlin wall. It was that particular impulse that started an enterprise to bring together teachers and students in, first of all, Western European Universities to offer resources to those universities which had only recently emerged in other parts of Europe. So we started the Europaeum network. Six universities joined us initially. We then approached the University of Prague to join us for the beginning of an enlargement, which would also to include universities previously behind the Iron Curtain. The group that we assembled around the Europaeum logo is by no means exclusive and we would very much like to enlarge it. The term ’variable geometry’ is very fashionable in international politics, but I think it also applies to our intentions, we want it to expand and include other universities either as full members or associates so free standing research institutes.Thanks to the generosity of our German sponsor DaimlerChrysler, particularly theDavies Group of the organization, Dr Klaus Mangold and Dr Bensel, we are now engaging in a study of the roles of the universities in the future. We have a number of ideas regarding how to set about answering these three major questions: What is the future role of the university? If we have established what it is, how do we equip it to produce the resources and do its job and what role does it play in our society? We hope to have a number of ongoing conferences and exchanges of views on the subject thanks to the friendly and co-operation of Humboldt University.We are now in a new era since 11 September. I think that one day we will regardthat approximate decade from the fall of the wall in Berlin and the destructionof the World Trade Centre in New York. Here it is important that we play our role. In what we now see in the plateau of Central Southeast Asia, a holy alliance of barbarism, fanaticism and high tech product of the information society. The University, by having as a component an important dosage of humanism, makes all the difference between a Robespierre like revolution or a continuation of the human spirit with the new resources and tools, carefully husbanded, monitored and controlled.Thanks to President of Humboldt University, Professor Michael Kreile, ProfessorPera, Paul Flather and colleagues.26. What is the attitude of the speaker toward the development of Europaeum?A) Europaeum is open to almost all universities.B) Europaeum is exclusive to some enterprises.C) Europaeum is open only to research institutes.D) Europaeum is exclusive to any other universities.27. What can be concluded about the Europaeum logo from the first paragraph?A) Being no exclusive.B) Bringing together teachers and students in Western European Universities.C) Enlarging Europaeum.D) Having variable geometry.28. What is the subject of this conference?A) How to equip a university to produce the resources.B) How to enlarge a university to some extent.C) How to cooperate with other universities.D) A study of the roles of the universities in the future.29. What kind of organization does the speaker hope to have?A) An organization in which they play an important role.B) An organization full of humanism.C) An organization of revolution.D) An organization full of information.30. What is the purpose of the organization?A) To continue and develop human spirit with new resources and tools.B) To exchange views with different universities.C) To unite universities and enterprises.D) To create the European network to continue humanism.Passage 3Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:When a heart-lung machine was invented that could take over the job of the heart, put oxygen into the blood and keep the circulation going during surgery, surgeons could stop the heart while they were cutting and suturing. Recently, in certain cases, some surgeons have begun operating without the pump while the heart continues to beat.“The benefits of off-pump surgery are tremendous for patients who meet the criteria for this procedure,” says Dr. Jim Zellner with the Alliance of Cardiac, Thoracic and Vascular Surgeons. “There is less need for blood products, less chance of complicati ons during and after surgery, earlier recovery and earlier return to regular activity.”Seawood Murray feels he was led by God to find Dr. Zellner and Memorial Hospitaland to have off-pump surgery.A veteran of the United States Navy as a nuclear weapons security officer and commanding officer of a mine assembly group for more than 31 years, Seawood has never complained about stress or pain. He saw three tours of duty off the coast ofVietnam.However, after suffering from chest pain for almost a year and being misdiagnosed with chronic heartburn, Seawood knew something was seriously wrong. At the Veteran’s hospital in Murfreesboro, he learned he had heart disease and was told to come back in six weeks.“I didn’t want to wait that long and asked for a referral to The Chattanooga Heart Institute,”Seawood says. “Dr. Noel Hunt found that 40% of my heart was not getting the amount of blood it needed to operate properly.”Four days later, Seawood was undergoing off-pump triple bypass surgery at Memorial Hospital under the hand of Dr. Zellner.“I was sitting up that evening, walking around the second day and feeling goodenough to go home the third day, but I stayed till the fourth morning,” Seawoodsays. “Two others who had on-pump bypass surgery the same day I had mine off-pump were barely walking when I left.”31. How do surgeons usually operate on a heart-attacker according to the passage?A) They operate without a pump.B) They operate with a heart-lung machine.C) They operate by stopping the heart.D) They operate with nothing but cutting and suturing.32. Which of the following statements is NOT the benefit of off-pump surgery?A) The heart-attack patients will be recovered in one day.B) There are fewer chances for heart-attack patients to suffer from other new diseases during the course of hear attack.C) Off-pump surgery needs fewer blood products.D) The heart-attack patients will be well again earlier.33. What’s wrong with Seawood Murray?A) He suffered from chronic heartburn.B) He suffered from heart attack.C) He had three tours of duty off the coast of Vietnam.D) His heart couldn’t get blood it needed to operate.34. What did Dr. Zellner do for Seawood Murray’s disease?A) Dr. Zellner gave him a surgery with a heart-lung machine..B) Dr. Zellner diagnosed his disease as chronic heartburn.C) Dr. Zellner gave him an off-pump triple bypass surgery.D) Dr. Zellner referred him to another hospital.35. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A) Seawood Murray could hardly walk four days after the surgery.B) Seawood Murray got recovered more slowly than other patients.C) Seawood Murray felt well and went home the third day after the surgery.D) Seawood Murray went home the fourth day after the surgery.Passage 4Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:The key element to successful interviewing is not your experience, your grades,what classes you took, your extracurricular activities, or any of the other basic necessities. Those skills are what got you the interview. The key element to uccessful interviewing can be summed up in one word: attitude. If you want to rise above others with better experience, better grades, orbetter anything, you will need to work on developing a highly positive work attitude.Your attitude determines whether you will “make the cut” or be discarded. Remember, there are plenty of competitors with the ability to do almost any given job-- especially at the entry level. The way most employers differentiate at the entry level is b y candidates’ attitudes toward the job. Your attitude is often what recruiters will remember when the dust has settled after reviewing ten, twenty, or even one hundred candidates--the one who was sincerely willing to put forth his very best effort. If you have the attitude of wanting to do your very best for the company, of being focused on the company’s needs, of putting yourself forth as the person who will be committed and dedicated to fulfilling their needs, you will likely be the one chosen.Why is attitude so important? Because most companies already have their full share of multi-talented superstars who care about no one but themselves. Ask any manager who the most valuable member of his team is, and he will point not to the overrated superstar, but to the person who has the “can do” attitude, the person who can be counted on in any situation, the person who truly strives for excellence. Give me a team player who is achieving at 99% and I will take her over a flashy superstar who is running at 50% efficiency any day of the week. And so will 99% of all hiring managers.So don’t worry if you are not “superstar”quality. If you can show me, in your words and actions, that you are ready to put forth your very best effort toward achieving excellence, you will be chosen over the superstar.You can show your winning attitude in the way you present yourself. Incorporatethe actual words “positive attitude,” “excellence,” and “striving to be mybest” into your interview language. Then show by your stories and examples howthese words positively affect your life. Show me when and where and how you haveput forth extra effort above and beyond the call of duty. Show me how you beata deadline, how you excelled in a project, or how you made a difference by goingthe extra mile.If you can show me, by words and examples, your “can do” attitude, it is you I will hire, while all of the superstars will receive polite rejection letters toadd to their growing collections.36. What is the key element to successful interviewing according to this passage?A) Courses taken before.B) A varied experience.C) A positive work attitude.D) Interviewees’capability.37. Which of the following statement is correct in the author’s opinion?A) There are inadequate competitors with the ability to do almost any given job—especially at the entry level.B) Most interviewers generally depend on the candidates’attitudes toward the job to choose the employees.C) Most employers tell the difference between candidates by their entry level.D) Better experience and better grades become the most important elements to bechosen.38. Who is the most valuable member of his team to a manager?A) The multi-talented superstar.B) The person who tries his best for excellence.C) The person who counts on himself and does not cooperate with others.D) The flashy star who makes the company famous.39. In an interview, what makes you leave a good impression on the interviewer?A) Your boasting words.B) The words such as positive attitude, excellence, and striving to be my best.C) Your own stories.D) Words and examples to show your positive attitude.40.

by some questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A),B),C)and D).You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.Questions 21to 25are based on the following passage:More attention was paid to the quality of production in France at the time of Rene Coty.Charles Deschanel was then the financial minister.He stressed that workmanship and quality were more important than quantity for industrial production.It would be necessary to produce quality goods for the international market to compete with those produced in other countries.The French economy needed a larger share of the international market to balance its import and export trade.French industrial and agricultural production was still inadequate to meet the immediate needs of the people,let alone long-ranged developments.Essential imports had stretched the national credit to the breaking point.Rents were tightly controlled,but the extreme inflation affected generalpopulation most severely through the cost of food.Food costs took as much as 80 percent of the workers'income.Wages,it is true,had risen.Extensive family allowances and benefits were paid by the state,and there was full-time and overtime employment.Taken together,these factors enabled the working class to exist but allowed them no sense of security.In this precarious(不稳定的)and discouraging situation,workmen were willing to work overseas for higher wages.The government was reluctant to let workers leave the country.It was feared this immigration of workers would deplete the labor force.The lack of qualified workers might hinder the improvement in the quality of industrial products produced.Qualified workers employed abroad would only increase the quantity of quality goods produced in foreign countries.Also the quantity of quality goods produced in France would not be able to increase as part of its qualified labor force moved to other countries.21.According to the passage,the French workers were ________ .A)better paid than the workers in any other European countriesB)able to save more money with the increase in their wagesC)anxious to work abroadD)often unable to find work in France22.Rene Coty and Charles Deschanel were both interested in ________.A)better quality in productionB)increasing quantity in productionC)having the government raise tariffs on foreign imports D)eliminating unions in France23.The French government was reluctant to let the workers leave the country because ________ .A)it would enlarge the working forceB)it would hinder the improvement of quality in industrial productionC)it would hinder the increase in quantity of exportsD)it would damage the imports24.Rents in France ________.A)were extremely highB)were extremely controlledC)took as much as 80percent of the workers'incomeD)had doubled in two years25.According to the passage,the French government ________.A)prohibited French to work abroadB)reduced taxes to fight inflationC)paid family allowances and benefitsD)prohibited the French workers to join labor unionsQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage:Food can be divided into two basic categories:real food and pleasure food.Real food is fuel for the body's needs,while pleasure food,which is high in fat and sugar,is primarily for taste satisfaction.The categories are pretty obvious.Broccoli is real food.Cookies are in the pleasure group.When you are hungry,you are faced with choices.If you aren't suffering from excessive hunger,you can be rational about them.Go to the refrigerator.What looks good?If you have chosen a real food,say,a turkey sandwich,you can be certain your body can use it for fuel.Eat it and enjoy.Two hours later you are hungry again.Back to the refrigerator.What looks good?Ice cream.Stop!Employ your will power just a little.Ice cream is not what your body needs.Does something else look good?Yes,a piece of toast with peanut butter and a glass of milk sound good too.Okay,go ahead,remembering that high-fat real foods should be eaten in moderation.One trick is to eliminate pleasure foods from your kitchen.Instead,keep a variety of high-quality foods available at all times.In short,buy lots of delicious real food,food you really like,and get rid of the junk.But what if you have ice cream on hand and nothing sounds good?Although you don't want to eat pleasure foods whenever the urge strikes,there is a legitimate place for them in your diet.If you have analyzed your feelings and there are no other needs imitating hunger,eat the ice cream.You have not failed.On the contrary,you have accepted your natural appetite,but not blindly.Surprisingly,when you know you can eat anything you want,and that you never have to put up with unsatisfied hunger again,it takes a lot of pressure off.You will begin to want to eat what your body needs,and your body will begin to need foods that will lead to slimness.26.Which of the following statements is NOT true?A)The author is against getting rid of pleasure food altogether.B)One can eat the high-fat real foods heartily since it is fuel for the body.C)Make sure to keep pleasure food such as ice cream in your diet.D)Of course you can sometimes have ice cream if you really want to.27.What would be the best title for this passage?A)Real Food And Pleasure FoodB)Reducing WeightC)Limit Your Consumption Of Pleasure FoodD)How To Choose Food When You Are Hungry28.Whatcan you assume from the last paragraph?A)Being able to eat anything doesn't necessarily imply pleasure.B)Real foods may lead to slimness.C)Eat only what your body needs.D)Be sure to satisfy your hunger whenever it strikes you.29.What can broccoli be except ________ .A)ice creamB)cauliflowerC)a turkey sandwichD)a piece of toast30.Judging from the fourth paragraph,what doesjunkmean?A)Food like ice cream.B)Food you do not like.C)Pleasure foods.D)Low-quality foods.Questions 31to 35are based on the following passage:Cloning,manipulating a cell from an animal so that it grows into an exact copy of that animal,is the forbidden fruit of biotechnology.Some scientists were so sure it could not be done that,in the 1970s,they discouraged moralists(伦理学家)from discussing its moral implications.Yet at the same time other scientists,secretly,in out-of-the-way labs,were getting ever closer to making clones.For ten years,scientists have been cloning sheep and cows from embryo(胚胎)cells.But so far Dolly is the only animal cloned from an adult cell,not from an embryo.She is living proof that scientists have solved one of the most challenging problems of cell biology.The question now is how soon will scientists clone humans.Nature,the scientific journal that published the Dolly paper,commented,Cloning humans from adults tissues is likely to be achievable any time from one to ten years from now.Most scientists agree there is no insurmountable obstacle in human cloning.But a human clone,even though it might resemble the individual from whom it was made,would differ dramatically in personality and character,intelligence and talents.You will never get100percent identity,says psychologist Jerome Kagan of Harvard,because of chance factors and because environments are never exactly the same.That,however,is small comfort to many people.Shortly after Dolly's birth announcement,President Clinton ordered a group of experts to come up with proposals for government action.With the cloning of humans within reach,whether it is to be banned or regulated is now on the nation's moral agenda(议事日程).Some regard the cloning of humans as inherently evil,a morally unjustifiable intrusion into human life.They measure the morality of any act by the intention behind it;still others are concerned primarily with consequences for society as well as for individuals.For the moment it seems that the latest achievement in the biotech field has provided everyone with food for thought.31.In what way is Dolly different from earlier clones?A)It is cloned from human embryo.B)It is cloned from a human cell.C)It is cloned from an adult cell.D)It is cloned from an adult embryo.32.What is the prospect,according to most scientists,of making clones from adult human tissues?A)Such clones will be exactly like the one from whom it was made.B)It would be possible within the decade.C)There still exist some technical problems.D)It is impossible to make such clones in one to ten years from now.33.Why did Clinton order a group of experts to make proposals for government action?A)He wants to quicken the pace of cloning research.B)The success of cloning involves serious moral evaluation problems.C)He wants to ban the human cloning research.D)He is worried about the funding of the further research.34.Food for thoughtin the last paragraph means ________.A)worry for foodB)increased food to be expectedC)something worthy of considerationD)reasons for deep understanding35.The best title for the selection can be ________.A)BiotechnologicalSuccess And Its Possible ConsequencesB)Dolly Is Only The BeginningC)The Definition Of CloningD)Cloning Humans From Adults'TissuesQuestions 36to 40are based on the following passage:Failure is probably the most fatiguing experience a person ever has.There is nothing more exhausting than not succeeding,being blocked,not moving ahead.It is an evil circle.Failure breeds fatigue,and fatigue makes it harder to get to work,which adds to the fatigue.We experience this tiredness in two main ways,as start-up fatigue and performance fatigue.In the former case,we keep putting off a task that we are forced to take up.Either because it is too tedious or because it is too difficult,we avoid it.And the longer we postpone it,the more tired we feel.Such start-up fatigue is very real,even not actually physical,not something in our muscles and bones.The remedy is obvious,though perhaps not easy to apply:willpower exercise.Themoment I find myself turning away from a job,or putting it under a pile of things I have to do,I clear my desk of everything else and attach the objectionable item first.To prevent start-up fatigue,always treat the most difficult job first.Performance fatigue is more difficult to handle.Here we are willing to get started,but we can't seem to do the job right.Its difficulties appear to be insurmountable and however hard we work,we fail again and again.The mounting experience of failure carries with it an ever-increasing burden of mental fatigue.In such a situation,I work as hard as I can,then let the unconscious take over.36.Which of the following can be called an evil circle?A)Success-zeal-success-zeal.B)Failure-tiredness-failure-tiredness.C)Failure-zeal-failure-tiredness.D)Success-exhaustion-success-exhaustion.37.According to the passage,when keeping putting off a task,we can experience ________.A)tirednessB)performance fatigueC)start-up fatigueD)unconsciousness38.To overcome start-up fatigue ,we need ________ .A)toughnessB)preventionC)musclesD)strong willpower39.The wordinsurmountablein the last paragraph probably means ________ .A)that can not be solvedB)that can not be understoodC)that can not be imaginedD)that can not be objected40.According to the passage,which of the following statements is NOT true?A)It is easier to overcome start-up fatigue.B)Performance fatigue occurs when the job we are willing to take gets blocked.C)One will finally succeed after experiencing the evil circle.D)Fatigue often accompanies fatigue.Part III Vocabulary and Structure(20 minutes)Directions:There are 30 incomplete sentences in this part.For each sentence

2011年英语六级考试模拟题(整套4)六级作文:Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic My Opinion on Campus Lectures. You should write at least 120 words according to the outline given below in Chinese:1. 大学校园里的讲座丰富多彩2. 听讲座的益处3. 你对在大学校园里听讲座的评论【范文】My Opinion on Campus LecturesIn recent years, more and more lectures are being given on campus. They are organized either by the departments or by the students unions with an aim to improve the students quality both mentally and academically. These lectures are usually in series and on different topics, such as arts, life, economy, psychology and world issues.Generally speaking, the advantages of good lectures are various. First they broaden the students knowledge horizon and cultivate interest in different fields. Second, they make the life of the students colorful and enjoyable.With these merits, lectures are just complementary and subordinate to our school work. If students spend too much time attending lectures, their regular study will be affected and disturbed. So, in my opinion, the students should, on the one hand, do their class work and homework well first, on the other hand, set as more time as possible to attend good lectures which are helpful to our life and study.六级阅读:Is it possible to persuade mankind to live without war?War is an ancient institution, which has existed for at least six thousand years. It was always bad and usually foolish, but in the past human race managed to live with it. Modern ingenuity has changed this. Either man will abolish war, or war will abolish man. For the present, it is nuclear weapons that cause the most serious danger, but bacteriological or chemical weapons may, before long, offer an even greater threat. If we succeed in abolishing nuclear weapons, our work will not be done. It willnever be done until we have succeeded in abolishing war. To do this, we need to persuade mankind to look upon international questions in a new way, not as contests of force, in which the victory goes to the side which is most skillful in killing people, but by arbitration in accordance with agreed principles of law. It is not easy to change very old mental habits, but this is what must be attempted.There are those who say that the adoption of this or that ideology would prevent war. I believe this to be a big error. All ideologies are based upon dogmatic statements that are, at best, doubtful, and at worst, totally false. Their adherents believe in them so fanatically that they are willing to go to war in support of them.The movement of world opinion during the past few years has been very largely such as we can welcome. It has become a commonplace that nuclear war must be avoided. Of course very difficult problems remain in the world, but the spirit in which they are being approached is a better one than it was some years ago. It has begun to be thought, even by the powerful men who decide whether we shall live or die, that negotiations should reach agreements even if both sides do not find these agreements wholly satisfactory. It has begun to be understood that the important conflict nowadays is not between different countries, but between man and the atom bomb.1.This passage implies that war is now ___.A.worse than in the past.B.as bad as in the pastC.not so dangerous as in the pastD.as necessary as in the past2.In the sentence “To do this, we need to persuade mankind”(Para 1),“this”refers to ___.A.abolish warB.improve weaponsC.solve international problemsD.live a peaceful life3.From Paragraph 2 we learn that the author of the passage ___.A.is an adherent of some modern ideologies.B.does not think that adoption of any ideology could prevent war.C.believe that the adoption of some ideology could prevent war.D.does not doubt the truth of any ideologies.4.According to the author, ___.A.war is the only way to solve international disputes.B.war will be less dangerous because of the improvement of weapons.C.it is impossible for the people to live without war.D.war must be abolished if man wants to survive.5.The last paragraph suggests that ___.A.international agreements can be reached more easily now.B.man begins to realize the danger of nuclear war.C.nuclear war will definitely not take place.D.world opinion welcomes nuclear war六级完型:For many people today, reading is no longer relaxation. To keep up their workthey must read letters, reports, trade publications, interoffice communications,not to mention newspapers and magazines: a never-ending flood of words. In 1 a jobor advancing in one, the ability to read and comprehend 2 can mean the differencebetween success and failure. Yet the unfortunate fact is that most of us are 3 readers.Most of us develop poor reading 4 at an early age, and never get over them. The main deficiency 5 in the actual stuff of language itself-words. Taken individually, wordshave 6 meaning until they are strung together into phrased, sentences and paragraphs.7 , however, the untrained reader does not read groups of words. He laboriously readsone word at a time, often regressing to 8 words or passages. Regression, the tendencyto look back over 9 you have just read, is a common bad habit in reading. Anotherhabit which 10 down the speed of reading is vocalization—sounding each word eitherorally or mentally as 11 reads.To overcome these bad habits, some reading clinics use a device called an12 , which moves a bar (or curtain) down the page at a predetermined speed.
