Part I Reading Comprehension 40%Directions: There are 4 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by somequestions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice. Please write the answer on the Answer Sheet .Passage 1Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, have governed my life: thelonging for love, the search for knowledge, and the unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind. These passions, like great winds, have blown me hither and thither, in a wayward course, over a deep ocean of anguish, reaching to the very verge of despair.I have sought love, first, because it brings ecstasy -- ecstasy so great that I would often have sacrificed all the rest of life for a few hours of this joy. I have sought it, next, because it relieves loneliness -- that terrible loneliness in which one shivering consciousness looks over the rim of the world into the cold unfathomable lifeless abyss. I have sought it, finally, because in the union of love I have seen, in a mystic miniature, the prefiguring vision of the heaven that saints and poets have imagined. This is what I sought, and though it might seem too good for human life, this is what -- at least -- I have found. With equal passion I have sought knowledge. I have wished to understand the hearts of men. I have wished to know why the stars shine. And I have tried to apprehend the Pythagorean power by which number holds sway above the flux. A little of this, but not much, I have achieved.Love and knowledge, so far as they were possible, led upward toward the heavens. But always pity brought me back to earth. Echoes of cries of pain reverberate in my heart. Children in famine, victims tortured by oppressors, helpless old people a hated burden to their sons, and the whole world of loneliness, poverty, and pain make a mockery of what human life should be. I long to alleviate the evil, but I can ’t, and I too suffer.This has been my life. I have found it worth living, and would gladly live it again if the chance were offered me.1. What rhetorical device does the author use in the first paragraph? A) Hyperbole and simile. B) personification and hyperbole. C) parallelism, simile and metaphor. D) All of the above.2.

The reason why the author mentions Pythagorean power is ____________ A) to substantiate his viewpointB) that he is a mathematicianC) to show his talent in mathematicsD) that this essay is based on Pythagorean theory 4. Why does the author say he suffers too? A) Because he is homeless. B) Because he is ill.C) Because he cannot alleviate all the evil that he hates.D) Because he does not have enough money to support the poor. 5. What is the basic tone for the whole passage?A) Critical. B) Ironic. C) Pathetic. D) Passionate. Passage 2Since Tiger was so fortunate with the game of golf, he decided to start a foundation called: The Tiger Woods Foundation which starts schools in urban American cities that provided an education for less fortunate kids. Tiger also supports and donates money to The First Tee program. The First Tee program’s goal is to provide learning facilities and educational programs that promote character development and life enhancing values through the game of golf. Tiger himself has also been an idol or hero for many kids around the world because of his dominance and records throughout his golfing career. Because of this many kids have started learning the game of golf.Tiger ’s real first name is Eldrick. He was born on December 30, 1975 and grew up in Cypress California. He began taking an interest in golf when he was just six months old. He would watch his dad, Earl, hit golf balls into a net and would try to copy his swing. He was given the nickname Tiger after a Vietnamese soldier and friend of his father. Tiger Woods appeared on TV practicing his swing at the age of two and by the time he was three, he had already shot a 48 on a nine-hole course. When he was five, the golf world began to take notice of Tiger and he was featured on the cover of Golf Digest. Tiger Woods was just 16 and still in high school when he played in his first professional golf tournament - the Nissan Los Angeles Open. Two years later, he went to college at Stanford University where he won ten collegiate events and the NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association) title. While he appeared in only a handful of professional tournaments during his years in college, it wasn’t long before Tiger Woods would be winning pro events at a ridiculous rate.Tiger Woods, who is now 28 years old, has had an amazing career since becoming a pro golfer in 1996. He has won 53 worldwide tournaments, 40 of those wins were on the PGA TOUR, including eight major championships: the 1997, 2001, and 2002 Masters, the 1999 and 2000 PGA Championships, the 2000 and 2002 U.S. Open Championship and the 2000 British Open. Tiger has now won an incredible 9 out of 16 World Golf Championship events he has played in.Tiger relates to the book because he is a hero to others near and far. People around the world notice his dedication, time spent working to perfect his game, his fitness routines and since he is young, all the kids like that. Even if you didn’t play golf, you would know who Tiger is and he has influenced many people to take up the game and learn more than just how to play: to learn the integrity and rules which also help you in life.To wrap things up, Tiger Woods started the game at a young age and set many records that may never be broken and has changed the game forever. He’s a hero, incredible golfer, and a generous giving man. He works hard at everything he does and院系： 班级： 姓名： 学号： 装 订 线gives back whenever he can. That is why I chose Tiger to be my hero.6. Which of the following statements about Tiger is TRUE?A) He played in his first professional golf contest in 1992.B) He got the name Tiger from his father.C) He became a professional golfer when he was 16 years old.D) He drew the attention of other golf players in 1983.7. When did the author write the passage?A) 2002. B) 2003. C) 2005. D) Unknown.8. Why does the author adore Tiger Woods?A) He is young. B) He dedicates himself to golf.C) He donates money to others. D) B and C.9. In which way did the author write the passage?A) Ironic. B) Objective. C) Subjective. D) Exaggerated.10. What might be the best title for the passage?A) Tiger Woods B) The world’s Best GolferC) The Brightest Sports Star D) Sports Hero: Tiger WoodsPassage 340 years ago the idea of disabled people doing sport was never heard of. But when the annual games for the disabled were started at Stoke Mandeville, England in 1948 by Sir Ludwing Guttmann, the situation began to change.Sir Ludwing Guttmann, who had been driven to England in 1939 from Nazi Germany, had been asked by the British government to set up an injuries center at Stoke Mandeville Hospital near London. His ideas about treating injuries included sport for the disabled.In the first games just two teams of injured soldiers took part. The next year, 1949, five teams took part. From those beginnings, things have developed fast. Teams now come from abroad to Stoke Mandeville every year. In 1960 the first Olympics for the Disabled were held in Rome. Now, every four years the Olympic Games for the Disabled are held, if possible, in the same place as the normal Olympic Games although they are organized separately. In other years Games for the Disabled are still held at Stoke Mandeville. In the 1984 wheelchair Olympic Games, 1064 wheelchair athletes from about 40 countries took part. Unfortunately, they were held at Stoke Mandeville and not in Los Angeles, along with other Olympics.The Games have been a great success in promoting international friendship and understanding, and in proving that being disabled does not mean you can’t enjoy sport. One small source of disappointment for those who organize and take part in the games, however, has been the unwillingness of the International Olympic Committee to include disabled events at the Olympic Games for the able-bodied.Perhaps a few more years are still needed to convince those fortunate enough not to be disabled that their disabled fellow athletes should not be excluded.11. The first games for the disabled were held _______ after Sir Ludwing Guttmannarrived in England.A) 40 years B) 21 yearsC) 10 years D) 9 years12. Besides Stoke Mandeville, surely the games for the disabled were once held in_______.A) New York B) LondonC) Rome D) Los Angeles13. In Paragraph 3, the word “athletes” means _______.A) people who support the games B) people who watch the gamesC) people who organize the games D) people who compete in the games14. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A) Sir Ludwing Guttmann is an early organizer of the games for the disabled.B) Sir ludwing Guttmann is an injured soldier.C) Sir Ludwing Guttmann is from Germany.D) Sir Ludwing Guttmann is welcomed by the British government.15. From the passage, we may conclude that the writer is _______.A) one of the organizers of the games for the disabledB) a disabled person who once took part in the gamesC) against holding the games for the disabledD) in favor of holding the games for the disabledPassage 4Books are to mankind what memory is to the individual. They contain the history of our race, the discoveries we have made, the accumulated knowledge and experience of ages. They picture for us the marvels and beauties of nature, help us in our difficulties, comfort us in sorrow and in suffering, change hours of weariness into moments of delight, store our minds with ideas, fill them with good and happy thoughts, and lift us out of and above ourselves.Many of those who have had, as we say, all that this world can give, have yet told us they owed much of their purest happiness to books. Aseham, in “The Schoolmaster,” tells a touching story of his last visit to Lady Jane Grey. He found her sitting in an oriel window reading Plato’s beautiful account of the death of Socrates. Her father and mother were hunting in the park. The hounds were in full cry and their voices came in through the open window. He expressed his surprise that she had not joined them. But, said she, “I wish that all their pleasure in the park is but a shadow to the pleasure I find in Plato.”Macaulay had wealth and fame, rank and power, and yet he tells us in his biography that he owed the happiest hours of his life to books. In a charming letter to a little girl, he says: “Thank you for your very pretty letter. I am always glad to make my little girl happy, and nothing pleases me so much as to see that she likes books, for when she is as old as I am, she will find that they are better than all the tarts and cakes, toys and plays, and sights in the world. If any one would make me the greatest king that ever lived, with palaces and gardens and fine dinners, and wines and coaches, and beautiful clothes, and hundreds of servants, on condition that I should not read books, I would not be a king. I would rather be a poor man in a garret with plenty of books than a king who did not love reading.”Books, indeed, endow us with a whole enchanted palace of thoughts. “There is a wider prospect,” says Jean Paul Richter, “from Parnassus than from a throne.” In one way they give us an even more vivid idea than the actual reality, just as reflections are often more beautiful than real nature. “All are mirrors,”says George Macdonald. “The commonest room is a room in a poem when I look in the glass.”Precious and priceless are the blessings which the books scatter around our daily paths. We walk, in imagination, with the noblest spirits, through the most sublime andenchanting regions.16. This passage argues that _______.A)books are the memory of an individualB)books can tell us what kind of memory an individual hasC)human beings need books just as an individual needs memoryD)an individual needs books to help him memorize what has happened17. According to the passage, books can _______.A) change our mood B) change the time-schedule of our activityC) improve our social position D) keep us in sadness18. Lady Jane Grey _______.A)saw her parents hunting in the shadow in the parkB)knew that her parents enjoyed hunting in the shadowC)believed that her parents’ pleasure in hunting was inferior to hers in reading PlatoD)enjoyed sitting in the shadow near window opening to a park while reading Plato’sworks19. It can be inferred from this passage that Macaulay _______.A)used to be a kingB)is very poor now because he likes books more than wealth and powerC)likes his little girl because she always wears a smile on her faceD)finds real happiness in reading books20. What is the major topic of this passage?A) Books and human beings. B) The delight of books.C) Books and memory. D) The blessings in the books.Part II Vocabulary and Structure 20%Directions: For each of the following sentences there are four choices marked A, B, C and D.

On the ship were 49 French railroad boxcars filled with gifts from the people of France to the people of America. These boxcars were from the famous Merci Train （Merci: a French word meaning “thank you”）.After World War II, a lot of factories, roads and farms in France had been destroyed. Many French people had no jobs or money and had little to wear and little to eat. In the winter of 1947, a train was sent across the United States, stopping in cities and towns along the way.At every stop, people gave whatever they could.Factories gave clothing and medicine. Farmers gave food. Families gave money.Even school children gave away their pocket money.All the things were then taken to France by ship.By 1949, the French had begun to recover from the war.The Merci Train was their way of saying “thank you” to America. French people had filled the boxcars with gifts.Most of themwere personal, like hand - made toys, children’s drawings, or postcards.But the boxcars themselves were perhaps the most meaningful of the gifts.On each car, the French people had painted the pictures of all their 40 provinces with an American eagle on the front. The boxcars were taken to each state of America, where they were warmly greeted.Now many of the states still keep their boxcars.Gifts sent by the French people can still be seen in some museums. The Merci Train came out of the war, but it now reminds the world that countries can also work together in peace.1.Many people crowded at New York Harbor on February 3rd, 1949 to _________.A. welcome the Merci TrainB. meet their familiesC. have a big partyD. start a trip by ship2.In 1947, a train stopped in cities across America in order to _________.A. give away clothing and foodB. get more soldiers for the warC. collect things to help French peopleD. show exhibitions from the museums3.The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 3 refers to _________.A. the American peopleB. the French peopleC. the boxcarsD. the gifts4.The French people painted their 40 provinces and an American eagle on each boxcarbecause_________.A. they thought France was stronger than AmericaB. it could show the friendship between the two countriesC. the boxcars would be more beautifulD. they were very good at painting pictures5.The passage is mainly about _________.A. the story of the Merci TrainB.

These fears were very real and caused me some uncomfortable moments.Maybe it was the strange way things looked and sounded in my own room at night that scared me so much. There was never complete darkness, but always a streetlight or passing car lights, which made clothes on the back of a chair take on the shape of a wild animal. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw the curtains seem to move when there was no wind. A very low sound in the floor would seem a hundred times louder than in the day. My imagination would run wild, and my heart would beat fast. I would lie very still so that the “enemy” would not discover me.Another of my childhood fears was that I would get lost, especially on the way home from school. Every morning I got on the school bus right near my home. That was no problem. After school, though, when all the buses were lined up along the street, I was afraid that I would get in the wrong one and be taken to some other strange places. On school or family trips to a park or a museum, I wouldn’t let the leaders out of my sight.Perhaps one of the worst fears of all I had as a child was that of not being liked or accepted by others. Being popular was so important to me then, and the fear of not being liked was a serious one.One of the processes growing up is being able to realize and overcome our fears. Understanding the things that scared us as children helps us achieve greater success later in life.11. The author had _________kind(s) of fears when she was a child.A. oneB. twoC. threeD. none12. _________ would scare the author at night.A. Streetlight and car lightsB. Wild animals and enemiesC.

You are thirsty playing basketball or riding home from school.A cold drink may be just the thing. But be careful what you are drinking. Something that looks cool may not be good for your health.There are plenty of “energy drinks” on the market. Most of them have beautiful colors and cool names. The lists on them tell you they are helpful to your health. Sounds great!But after a careful check you may find that most energy drinks have lots of caffeine in them. These drinks are especially aimed at young people, students, busy people and sports players. Makers sometimes say their drinks make you better at sports and can keep you awake. But be careful not to drink too much.Caffeine makes your heart beat fast. Because of this, the International Olympic Committee has limited its use. Caffeine in most energy drinks is at least as strong as that in a cup of coffee or tea. Possible health dangers have something to do with energy drinks. Just one box of energy drink can make you nervous, have difficulty sleeping and can even cause heart problems. Scientists say that teenagers should be discouraged from taking drinks with a lot of caffeine in them.16. Many people like drinking energy drinks because of the following EXCEPT that ________.A. they have beautiful colors and cool namesB. they have lots of caffeineC. they can keep them awake and better at sportsD. they are said to be helpful to health17.

Before the colonies declared their independence, celebrations honoringthe birthdays of British rulers were customary. After the Declaration of Independence, the American people ignored royal birthdays and began instead tocelebrateGeneralWashington’s birthday. This custom started in 1778 during the army’s cold snowy winter at Valley Forge, when one of the military bands marched to Washington’s headquarters and played for him.When the war ended in 1783, Washington eagerly returned to Mount Vernon. But his peaceful retirement was interrupted when he was unanimously chosen first president of the United States. He took office in 1789 and was reelected in 1792. In 1796, he refused a thirdterm and retired from political life. He died two years later and was buried at Mount Vernon, which one million tourists visit every year. Shortly after his death, Washington was praised in these famous words: “First in war, first in peace, and first in the heart of his countrymen.”To the American people, Washington symbolizes dignity, statesmanship, and, above all, honesty. The ramous cherry tree story, which was invented by Washington’s first b iographer, has become a lesson in morals for all American schoolchildren. The story goes like this: When George Washington was about six years old, his father gave him a hatchet(small axe), which the little boy loved to play with. One day, he tried the edge of his hatchet on his father’s favorite young cherry tree and did enough damage to kill the tree. Next morning, his father noticed the damage and ran into the house shouting, “George, do you know who killed that beautiful little cherry tree…in the garden?George’s famous reply was, “I ca n’t tell a lie, Pa, you know I can’t tell a lie. I cut it with my hatchet.”His father, pleased with the boy’s courage and honesty, quickly forgave him.Because of this story, traditional dessert on Washington’s birthday are cherry pie or a log-shaped cake decorated with cherries. Washington’s Birthday is a legal hol iday throughout the U. S. A. It is celebrated on the third Monday in February. In some state, this date is called Presidents’Day and honors both Washington and Lincoln.51.George Washington’s birthday was first celebrated________.A. before the War of IndependenceB. after he diedC. after he became the President of the United StatesD. during the War of Independence52.The famous cherry tree story________.A. was widely known when George Washington was a childB. was not a true storyC. shows that honesty can avoid punishmentD. gradually loses its influence 53.From the passage we can infer that________.A. Lincoln was born in FebruaryB. the American people love Washington because he was honestC. Washington was buried near the capitalD. cherry pie is a necess ity for Washington’s birthday54.The main theme of the passage is________.A. George Washington’s birthdayB. the famous cherry tree storyC. Washington’s honestyD. the great merits of George WashingtonText BWhat exactly is a lie? Is it anything we say which we know is untrue? Or is it something more than that? For example, suppose a friend wants to borrow some money from you. You say “I wish I could help you but I’m short of money myself.”I n fact, you are not short of money but your friend is in the habit of not paying his debts and you don’t want to hurt his feelings by reminding him of this. Is this really a lie?Professor Jereald Jellison of the University of Southern California has made a scientific study of lying. According to him, women are better liars than men, particularly when telling a “white lie,” such as when a woman at a party tells another woman that she likes her dress when she really thinks it looks awful. However, this is only one side of the story. Other researchers say that men are more likely to tell more serious lies, such as making a promise which they have no intention of fulfilling. This is the kind of lie politicians and businessmen are supposed to be particularly skilled at: the lie from which the liar hopes to profit or gain in some way.Research has also been done into the way people’s behaviour changes in a number of small, apparently unimportant ways when they lie. It has been found that if they are sitting down at the time, they tend to move about in their chairs more than usual. To the trained observer they are saying “I wish I were somewhere else now.” They also tend to touch certain parts of the face more often, in particular the nose. One explanation of this may be that lying causes a slight increase in blood pressure. The tip of the nose is very sensitive to such changes and the increased pressure makes it itch.Another gesture which gives liars away is what the writer Desmond Morris in his book Manwatching calls ‘the mouth cover’. He says there are several typical forms of this, such as covering part of the mouth with the fingers, touching the upper-lip or putting a finger of the hand at one side or the mouth. Such a gesture can be interpreted as an unconscious attempt on the part of the liar to stop himself or herself from lying.Of course, such gestures as rubbing the nose or covering the mouth, or moving about in a chair cannot be taken as proof that the speaker is lying. They simply tend to occur more frequently in this situation. It is not one gesture alone that gives the liar away but a wholenumber of thins, and, in particular, the context in which the lie is told.55.One sometimes tells one’s friend a “white lie” because one wants to________.A. make a profit from the other personB. avoid offending the other personC. convince the other personD. have some fun56.One research suggests that women ________.A.generally lie far more than menB.tend to tell more serious lies than menC.make more promises they can fulfill than menD.are better at telling serious lies than men57.It can be inferred from the passage that ________.A.politicians tend to tell intentional liesB. men are less skilled at telling liesC. businessmen seldom break their promisesD. women tend to make false promises58.People may rub their noses when they lie because ________.A.they suffer from high blood pressure at the timeB.the nose is the most sensitive part of the human bodyC.the nose reveals the liar more easily than the other parts of the faceD.they do so in order to stop themselves from telling more lies59.It can be learned from the passage that ________.A.lies can easily be detected by careful observersB.lies are usually accompanied by strange gesturesC.people are liable to tell a lie when they hear others lyingD. a liar may give away his or her intention unconsciouslyText CBritain has always been fortunate in having plentiful energy resources. At the end of theeighteenth century these were principally coal and, in places water power from swift-flowingstreams and rivers. Coal-mining is one of the oldest and most basic of all industries. Deepmining began in Britain 300 years ago and has since been an integral part of the country’s industrial life. In coal-producing areas, other industries that could be serviced by coal grewrapidly. Factories came into being because it was more economical to manufacture goods under one large roof, where power could be concentrated rather than in the small rooms and backyards of thousands of individual workers. Industrial complexes developed where natural resources, like coal and iron, were readily available and cheap labor flowed in as a result of declining living standards in rural areas.At the time this rapid industrialization had many critics but for working people there was no real choice: working long hours in factories and coal-mines seemed to promise achance of a better life than staying in country areas where jobs were scarce and poverty andhunger were common. In the early 1800s a group calling themselves Luddites smashed and destroyed new factory machinery in the Midlands and north. As craftsmen who traditionally worked at home, the Luddites were protestingthat factory machines had robbed them oftheir livelihood.Industrialization, for all its negative social effects, did bring many economic advantagesand made Britain an exceedingly rich and powerful nation．It increased the population of urban areas and expanded industrial output; it encouraged technical invention and promotedcompetition to improve the quality of goods and services offered; it also led to better communication systems. Yet the successes and achievements of industrialization were founded onthe exploitation of working people who were to endure long working hours for low wages andto live in inadequate housing, crowded together.60.The British manufacturing industry developed because of________.A.rich energy resourcesB. water powerC. the declining rural economyD. cheap labor61.As far as industrialization was concerned, the working people thought that________.A. it brought them a better lifeB. there was no alternativeC. it brought them bad luckD. it was better to work at home62.According to the author, industrialization________.A. produced bad social effectsB. brought prosperity to BritainC. made people poorD. achieved the hoped-for successes63.The successes of industrialization resulted from________.A. rich natural resourcesB. the exploitation of the working peopleC. technicalinventionD. competition among capitalistsText DIt’s rare for a European to be honored in the way that rock art expert George Chaloupkawas recently by an aboriginal(土著). “He fell in love with our country, our culture and especially our rock art,”said Mick Alderson, the Aboriginal chairman of Kakadu NationalPark’s board of management. “Perhaps, more importantly, he also fell in love with our people. This was based on respect for our people and their knowledge. In turn, George has ourrespect---more than any other European I know.”Alderson’s praise was read out at a party t o mark 65-year-old Chaloupka’s retirementfrom the Northern Territory Museum and Art Gallery. Chaloupka was the dedicated amateurwho discovered thousands of previously unidentified rock art sites across Arnhem Land. From them, he formulated the definite time sequence of those paintings, lending evidence toa much earlier Aboriginal occupation of Australia than previously imagined. He fought theover-exploitation of the mineral-rich region, resulting in the establishment of Kakadu National Park. His work recognized the art on the rock walls as the world’s oldest existing record of human expression,created thousands of years before the first designs were painted onthe torch-lit cave walls of Europe.64.George has the respect from the aboriginals because________.A. he has found the rock paintingsfor themB. he is an amateur who has the achievement of a professionalC. he respects them and their cultureD. he falls in love with them65.George’s discoveries prove that________.A. he is the first man to make such discoveriesB. they are the oldest artistic record ever foundC. they are much older than those found in EuropeD. the aboriginals occupied Australia for the first time66.The establishment of the National Park was to________.A. stop any mining in the regionB. protect the rock artC. honor the discovery of the rock artD. attract tourists from all over the worldText EI am one of the many city people who are always saying that given the choice we would prefer to live in the country away from the dirt and noise of a large city. I have managed to convince myself that if it weren’t for my job I would immediately head out for the open spaces and go back to nature in some sleepy village buried in the country. But how realistic is the dream?Cities can be frightening places. The majority of the population live in massive tower blocks, noisy, dirty and impersonal.The sense of belonging to a community tends to disappear when you live fifteen floors up. All you can see from your window is sky, or other blocks of flats. Children become aggressive and nervous — cooped up at home all day, with nowhere to play; their mothers feel isolated from the rest of the world. Strangely enough, whereas in the past the in-habitants of one street all knew each other, nowadays people on the same floor in tower blocks don’t even say hello to each other.Country life, on the other hand, differs from this kind of isolated existence in that a sense of community generally binds the inhabitants of small villages together. People have the advantage of knowing that there is always someone to turn to when they need help. But country life has disadvantages too. While it is true that you may be among friends in a village, it is also true that you are cut off from the exciting and important events that take place in cities. There’s little possibility of going to a new show or the latest movie. Shopping becomes a major problem, and for anything slightly out of the ordinary you have to go on an expedition to the nearest large town, the city-dweller who leaves for the country is often oppressed by a sense of unbearable stillness and quiet.What, then, is the answer? The country has the advantage of peace and quiet, but suffers from the disadvantage of being cut off; the city breeds a feeling of isolation, and constant noise batters the sense. But one of its main advantages is that you are at the centre of things; and that life does n’t come to an end at half past nine at night. Some people have found (or rather bought) a compromise between the two: they have expressed their preference for the “quiet life”by leaving the suburbs and moving to villages within commuting distance of large cities. They generally have about as much sensitivity as the plastic flowers they, leave behind— they are polluted with strange ideas about change and improvement which they force on to the unwilling original inhabitant of the villages.What then of my dreams of leaning on a cottage gate and murmuring “morning” to the locals as they pass by, I’m keen on the idea, but you see there’s my cat. Toby. I’m not at all sure that he would take to all that fresh air and exercise in the long grass. I mean, can you see him mixing with those hearty males down the farm? No. He would rather have the electric imitation— coal fire any evening.67.We get the impression from the first paragraph that the author ____A. used to live in the country.B. used to work in the city.C. works in the city.D. lives in the country.68.In the author’s opinion, the following may cause city people to be unhappy EXCEPT____A. a strong sense of fear.B. lack of communication.C. housing conditions.D. a sense of isolation.69.The passage implies that it is easy to buy the following things in the country EXCEPT____A. daily necessities.B. fresh fruits.C. designer clothes.D. fresh vegetables.70.According to the passage, which of the following adjectives best describes those peoplewho work in large cities and live in village?A.

The frozen corpse was about five feet 11 and scientists who helicoptered to the site determined that it was 4,000 years old – the first 12 body ever found from the Bronze Age. Mummified by the wind and snow, he came 13 with sikn, bones, internal organs, and fingernails. He was 14 in leather shoes and finely stitched leather suit, insulted with hay. An array of weapons and equipment was found alongside him_ 15 a leather quiver with fourteen arrows, a stone necklace, a fire flint, a knife, and an ax with a crude bronze head.“The find is of 16 scientific meaning,”said Lonrad Spindler, professor of early and Primeval History at the University of Innsbruck, who is investigating the 17 . Skeletal remains of buried corpses have been excavated before in Bronze Age graves. But “the iceman,”as Austrian newspapers dubbed him, was going about the normal course of life when he died 18 the ages of 20 and 40, which means he should yield a reassure-trove of information about conditions 4,000 years ago. Scientists plans to 19 the contents of his stomach and intestine for clues to the Bronze Age diet, illnesses, and parasites. They also hoped to 20 the glacier site further for companions.11.

And we were staying in a government guest house which was sort of like a small hotel, but it wasn‟t a very fancy place. Anyway it was a very hot night. We wanted to have the windows open, but the problem was we had everything we owned right there in the room. The windows didn‟t have any screens or anything. So anybody could just come right in and steal our things. But if we shut the window, it would be impossible to sleep. It was way over a hundred degrees Fahrenheit or forty degrees centigrade. So we decided to put a lot of pots and pants like that under the window. Then if a thief came in, the pots and pans would fall down and we would wake up. That‟s what we did. Anyway, we were asleep.All of the sudden in the middle of the night, sure enough, I hear the pans crash. I sat up in bed. My heart was beating like anything. I could see that there was a man in a white robe standing up next to the bed. I tried to scream and I had laryngitis(喉炎) which mean my voice wasn‟t working. And I was screaming in the local language for help. It was like … help, help‟. But I couldn‟t scream. So the man came over and he shoved me down on the bed.

One day he became very ill and everyone thought he would die. They sent for a doctor, who arrived two days later and examined the sick man. The doctor asked for a pen and some paper to write down the name of the medicine, but there was no pen or paper in the village, because no one could read or write.The doctor picked up a piece of burnt wood from the fire. He wrote the name of the medicine on the door of the house. “Get this medicine for him,” he said, “and he will soon get better.”Marek’s family and friends did not know what to do. They could not read the strange writing. Then the village baker had an idea. He took off the door of the house, put it on his cart, and drove to the nearest town.

Overhead bridges are used in very much the same way as zebra crossings. They are more efficient although less convenient because people have to climb up a long flight of steps. This is inconvenient especially to older people. When pedestrians use an overhead bridge, they do not hold up traffic.However, when they cross a busy road using a zebra crossing, traffic is held up. This is why the government has built many overhead bridges to help pedestrians and to keep traffic moving at the same time.The government of Singapore has spent large sums of money building these bridges. For their own safety pedestrians should be encouraged to use them instead of risking their lives by dashing across the road. Old people, however, may find it a little difficult climbing up and down the steps, but it is still much safer than walking across the road with all the danger of moving traffic.Overhead bridges serve a very useful purpose. Pedestrians, both old and young, should make it a habit to use them. This will prevent unnecessary accidents and loss of life.6. What is the advantage of overhead bridges mentioned in this passage?A. Taller vehicle can pass under them.B. Pedestrians can climb up and have a view of the city.C. They don’t hold up traffic and are safer for pedestrians.D. They are easier and more convenient for the pedestrians.7. Why were overhead bridges built in Singapore by its government?A. Because they do not hold up traffic.B. Because they provide an easy way for the drivers to cross the road.C. Because they save money for the government.D. Because they save time for the pedestrians.8. Which of the following is true according to this passage?A. Overhead bridges are found in places where traffic is heavy.B. Overhead bridges are found in every part of Singapore.C. Overhead bridges are found in many parts of the big cities in the world.D. Overhead bridges are only found in the capital Singapore.9. The expression “zebra crossings” in paragraph 2 means ____________.A. a safe place where pedestrians use to walk across a roadB. a big animal covered with alternating black and white stripes in AfricaC. a safe place where zebras walk aroundD. a safe place across a road for children to play a game10. What is the writer’s attitude towards overhea d bridges?A. It is inconvenient to older people to walk across the road.B. It is much safer though a little difficult climbing up and down the steps for pedestrians.C. Overhead bridges are more beautiful than zebra crossingsD. To build overhead bridges is the order of the government.Passage ThreeCars 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 wa s 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 developedan 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 m ade 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.11. 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.12. Why do cars become popular in the United States?A. The United States is huge.B. Public transportation is not so good.C. Americans like to be independent.D. Americans like to move around.13. What public transportation is good in the United States?A. Buses.B. Trains.C. Taxis.D. Planes.14. What has caused a big problem for Americans?A. A new kind of car.B. Public transportation.C. The gas shortage.D. Poor people.15. 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.Passage FourOne of the favorite baseball players in the United States during the 1930’s was Leo Frangio. He was born and raised in New York City. As a boy, he was often in trouble with school authorities. He and his friends used to stay away from school to play baseball.He dropped out of high school to begin playing professional ball. In 1931, as a rookie (新手) with the New York Canaries, Leo hit 38 home runs (本垒打). For the next five years he hit 40 to 45 home runs a year. In 1936 he had his best year, hitting 54 home runs with a 365 batting average.Leo was a hero to people everywhere, but it was the children that he felt closest to. He frequently visited hospitals to talk with sick children. He never got married so he always spent Christmas day with children who didn’t have any parents. The children liked him as much as Santa Claus.In 1937 Leo had a bad year. After he hit 52 home runs again in 1938, the Canaries decided to trade him. Talks were being held with the Blue Birds an the Robins when Leo said that he was going to retire. He said he would never play for a team other than the Canaries.After leaving baseball Leo had several different jobs. First he had a job as PR (public relations) man for a sporting goods company. He didn’t enjoy the work, though, and he quit after one year. Then he tried working as a sports writer. Since he was not such a good writer, however, he soon gave that up, too.Finally in 1940, he began working as a radio announcer for baseball games. He became very popular because he made the game sound so exciting. During the next fifteen years he added muchto the language of baseball. But as TV became more and more popular Leo decided to quit announcing. He moved back to New York where he is still active in teaching children to play baseball.16. Which team did Leo play for?A. The Canaries.B. The Robins.C. The Orioles.D. The Blue Birds.17. When was Leo’s best year as a player?A. 1938.B. 1936.C. 1931.D. 1937.18. What job did Leo have the longest?A. Playing baseball.B. Working as a PR man.C. Announcing on the radio.D. Working as a sports writer.19. Why did Leo quit announcing?A. Because he was going to be traded.B. Because he became a sports writer.C. Because he went back to New York.D. Because TV became popular.20. Why did Leo Frangio become popular as a radio announcer?A. He was a very good baseball player.B. He made the game sound exciting.C. He made the game win.D. He was loved by children very much.

The right way to keep healthy is to eat more vegetables and fruits.2. Exercise. Another way which is always be ignored is to exercise more. An average of steps a normal adult have per day is 10000 - 15000.

大学英语期末考试题及参考答案大学英语期末考试题一、选词填空(共计30分，每小题2分)Passage 1I never used to go anywhere without the car. I regarded it as an essential part of myself. But when the price of gas doubled in this year, I decided not to use the car except when absolutely necessary. For example, I always used to take the car when I went to fetch the papers on Sunday mornings, although our newsagents is only 10 minutes walk away. Now I go on foot.I tell myself that Im not only saving the gas but keeping fit at the same time. Its all a question of habit really. Im sure you can get used to anything if you try and already feel that I rely on the car less than I used to. Besides, now that we live in the suburbs, I can walk down the road and catch a bus to the office or to any part of the town. We used to live in the country about 15 miles from town and then I would frequently drive to and fro twice in one day. That meant I would use 15 gallons of oil or more in a week. Now I only need half that amount. The trouble is that I am also getting used to the gas prices. They dont seem so high tome any more. Perhaps it is easier to get used to expensive gas than it is to doing without the ear.Questions 26--30 are based on Passage 1.26. When the price of gas doubled in this year, the author decidedA. to go everywhere without a carB. only to take the car to fetch the papersC. to use the car when he had toD. to go on foot everywhere27. In the sentence "Its all a question of habit really," the pronoun "It" refers toA. saving the gasB. keeping fitC. not only saving the gas but keeping fit at the same timeD. not relying too much on the car28. To go to the newsagents to get his newspaper, the authorA. used to walk for 10 minutesB. used to drive his carC. walked down the road to the officeD. walked for 10 minutes to keep fit29. We know from the passage that the authorA. is getting used to living in the country about 15 miles from townB. used to go to and come back from town twice a day by carC. usually buys 15 gallons of oil or more in a weekD. only spends 7.5 pounds on gas now30. The last sentence of the passage suggests thatA. the author still can not get used to doing without the carB. the author feels that the high price of gas is a great problemC. it is easy to use gas at high pricesD. the price of gas is not high any more点击下页还有更多大学英语期末考试题：词汇与结构阅读下面的小对话，从A、B、C、D四个选项中选出一个能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题纸上写出所选的字母符号。

Part I Reading Comprehension 40%Directions: There are 4 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by somequestions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice.PPassage 1Scientists have identified the elephants that live on the island of Borneo in Malaysia as separate from other Asian elephants. The group Worldwide Fund for Nature, or W-W-F, announced the finding. This follows genetic tests on waste from Borneo's Pygmy Elephants （婆罗州矮象）, as they are called.The Sabah Wildlife Department in Malaysia permitted researchers to collect droppings from forests on Borneo. They sent the material to Columbia University in New York City. There, the Department of Evolution and Environmental Biology carried out the tests.Scientists compared the DNA to the genes of elephants that live in mainland Malaysia and in Sri Lanka, India and other Asian countries. The research shows that Borneo elephants were separated from other Asian elephants about three-hundred-thousand years ago. Some differences are easy to see. The Borneo elephants are smaller than other elephants. Their ears and tails make up a larger part of their bodies. And their tusks (象牙) are straighter. Also, the chairman of the W-W-F program in Malaysia says the Borneo elephants are gentler compared to other Asian elephants.The group says the test results mean that the pygmy elephants of Borneo should be treated as their own kind. It says the elephants should not be permitted to reproduce with other Asian elephants. It says there should also be research into the reproductive rates of the Borneo elephants and survival of their young. The nature group notes a long-standing dispute about where the Borneo elephants came from. One theory is that their ancestors were gifts from the British East India Company to the Sultan of Sulu in the seventeenth century. The scientists, however, say the new findings reject the argument that humans brought the elephants to the island.The other theory is that the elephants could remain from a native population that traveled between Borneo and Sumatra. During the ice ages, more than ten-thousand years ago, sea levels were much lower. Land sometimes linked the two islands. The elephants could have been trapped on Borneo after the water rose again.1. How did scientists get to know that Borneo elephants were separated from other Asian elephants about three-hundred-thousand years ago? A) By studying their straight tusks. B) By following their footsteps.C) By collecting their droppings from forests on Borneo.D) By comparing their DNA to the genes of other Asian elephants.2. What helped scientists identify Borneo's Pygmy Elephants as separate from other Asian elephants?A) Their gentle manner. B) Their strange appearance. C) The genetic tests on their waste. D) The tests on their leftovers. 3. According to the scientists, the pygmy elephants of Borneo should _______. A) be reproduced with other Asian elephantsB) be taken good care of for their survival C) be prohibited from being huntedD) be treated as a unique kind of elephants4. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A) Borneo elephants have been living on the island of Borneo for more than ten-thousandyears.B) The ancestors of Borneo elephants were gifts from the British East India Company to theSultan of Sulu in the seventeenth century.C) Borneo elephants swam across the sea from Sumatra to Borneo during the ice ages.D) Some baby pygmy elephants of Borneo are a mixture of pygmy elephants with other Asian elephants.5. Compared with other Asian elephants, Borneo’s Pygmy Elephants are _______. A) taller B) much stronger C) more coward D) gentler Passage 2A teenage girl from the state of Connecticut has won the top prize in the Intel Science Talent Search. The competition was known as the Westinghouse Science Talent Search until 1998. It is the oldest program in the United States that honors the science projects of high school students.The Intel Science Talent Search celebrated its sixtieth anniversary last year. The winners received money for a college education and a new computer. More than 1,500 students entered projects for the competition. The students were from 36 states and the District of Columbia. 49 percent were female and 51 percent were male. Their research projects involved every area of science, including chemistry, physics, mathematics, engineering, social science and biology.Forty students were invited to Washington, D.C. for the final judging by well-known scientists. They judged the students on their research ability and creative thinking. They also questioned the students about scientific problems before deciding on the top ten winners.The first place winner was Mariangela Lisanti of Westport, Connecticut. She received 100,000 dollars for her college education. Her physics project involved the use of single atoms or molecules to create electronic devices. She developed a new way to measure electron movement in tiny structures.The second place winner was Nathaniel Jay Craig of Sacramento, California. He received 75,000 dollars for his college education for a physics project. He developed a method for expressing the strength of specially prepared glass by describing the super cooled liquid from which it was formed.The third place winner was Gabriel Drew Carroll of Oakland, California. He received 50,000 dollars for his college education. His mathematics project involved the partial order of numbers.The president of Intel, Craig Barrett, praised all the finalists as future leaders. He said their understanding of science and mathematics is important for making sense of the technological world today. And it is important for making the best decisions in the future.6.

Like the flu, computer viruses evolve. Last year’s immunization isn’t any good for this year’s disease because every time someone invents a new medication(医药), someone else invents a new disease. Nevertheless, a few simple precautions will help you against all but the cleverest hacker.For a PC user, he or she should use good virus-checking software. But a word of caution: Not every program fixes every virus, and when a new bug hits, the remedy takes a while to reach the market. A PC user must keep it in his or her m ind to back up the data and anyone who doesn’t have a backup drive is begging for trouble. When a new file or application is loaded onto the computer, one should immediately pass it through antivirus software so that the viruses can be caught and killed before they do any harm. If you receive a mail with a file attached to it from someone you don’t know, then do not open that file because these days most viruses and their cousins, networking-infecting worms, are spread through files attached to email or downloaded from the Web. Finally, if your computers are infected, you should not be panic and you should use a friend’s computer to search the Web for a cure.Where Viruses are concerned, what grandma used to tell you is extremely relevant: An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.11. The sentence “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure” in the last paragraph is usedto ________.A) remind the computer users of the importance of taking preventive actionsB) prove that old generations have lots of experience which is worth learningC) warn the computer users of the danger of virusesD) explain that prevention is the same as curing12. Computer viruses have something in common with the flu because ________.A) they can invent a new diseaseB) they can help computer users against the hackersC) they can invent a new medicationD) they can evolve into new types13. It can be concluded from the passage that ________.A) a new medicine can cure flu foreverB) people have found a thorough solution to the problem of virusesC) many computers are immune to virusesD) the cleverest hacker can break into any computer14. According to the passage, computer viruses can ________.A) make a computer user rather annoyedB) tear people's hair outC) conceal the secret legitimate files and programsD) spread bacteria from one computer to another15. To protect their computers, people should ________.A) stop surfing the Internet to cut off the connections with virusesB) fix every virus with their new antivirus softwareC) back up important data regularlyD) load new files or applications onto the computersPassage 4All over the world mention of English education suggests a picture of the “public schools’, and it suggests in particular the names of certain very famous institutions—Eton college, Harrow school and Winchester college; but people do not always realize what place these institutions occupy in the whole educational system.Eton is the best known of the public schools, which, in spite of their name, are not really public at all, but independent and private secondary schools taking boys from the age of 13 to 18 years. In presenting an overall picture of English education it would be reasonable to concentrate on the state system alone and refer briefly to the public schools. The public schools in reality form a very small part of the whole system of secondary education; only about one out of forty English boys goes to a public school, and one out of 1,500 goes to Eton.However, although the public schools are not important numerically, they have been England’s most peculiar and characteristic contribution to educational methods, and they have an immerse influence on the whole of English educational practice and on the English social structure. For a hundred years most men in leading positions in banking, insurance, high finance, some industries, the army, the church and conservative politics have been educated at public schools.16. Public schools are important in English education system because ________.A) one out of forty English boys goes to a public schoolB) their graduates have an immerse influence on the development of EnglandC) they are very famous in the worldD) Eton is among the most famous of them17. Public schools in England ________.A) are owned and regulated by the stateB) are private schools in spite of their nameC) occupy a large part of the whole educational system of the countryD) are supervised by the public18.Public schools have a great influence upon the British society because ________ for a century.A) they have produced outstanding graduates who are in leading positions in important areasB) they have occupied most important positions in English educationC) they have changed the whole of English educational practiceD) they have provided their particular teaching methods and spread them to all schools19. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.A) state schools are the focus of English education systemB) there are very few public schools compared to the state schools in EnglandC) students from 13 to 18 years old can be admitted by public schoolsD) public schools also take girl students between 13 and 18 years20. According to the passage, public schools ________.A) have an overwhelming majority of studentsB) are England's most peculiar and characteristic secondary schoolsC) are leading in developing educational methodsD) cover primary, secondary and tertiary educationPart II Vocabulary and Structure 20%Directions:For each of the following sentences there are four choices marked A, B,C and D.

The lecturer speaks for me or two hours, perhaps 11 the talk with slide, writing up important information on the blackboard, distributing reading material and giving out12 . The new students sees the other students continuously writing on notebooks and 13 what to write. Very often the student leaves the lecture with notes which do not catch the main points and 14 become hard even for the student to understand.Most institutions provide courses which assist new students to develop the skills they need to be 15 listeners and note-takers.

Reading Comprehension (20 points)According to psychologists, an emotion is aroused when a man or animal views something as either bad or good. When a person feels like running away from something he thinks will hurt him, we call this emotion fear. If the person wants to remove the danger by attacking it, we call the emotion anger. The emotions of joy and love are aroused when we think something can help us. An emotion does not have to be created by something in the outside world. It can be created by a person’s thoughts. Everyone has emotions. Many psychologists believe that infants are born without emotions. They believe children learn emotions just as they learn to read and write. A growing child not only learns his emotions but learns how to act in certain situations because of an emotion. Psychologists think that there are two types of emotion: Positive emotions include love, liking ,joy, delight, and hope. They are aroused by something that appeals to a person. Negative emotions make a person unhappy or dissatisfied. They include anger, fear, despair, sadness, and disgust. During growing up, a person learns to cope with the negative emotions in order to be happy.Emotions may be weak or strong. Some strong emotions are so unpleasant that a person will try any means to escape from them. In order to feel happy, the person may choose unusual ways to avoid the emotion.Strong emotions can make it hard to think and to solve problems. They may prevent a person from learning or paying attention to what he is doing. For example, a student taking an examination may be so worried about failing that he cannot think properly. The worry drains valuable mental energy he needs for the examination.21. We learn from the passage that an emotion is created by something _________.one thinks bad or good22. Which of the following is NOT true?Babies are born with emotions.23 The author’s purpose of writing this passage is to ______.define and classify people’s emotions24. We can safely conclude that a student may fail in an exam if _____.he can not think properly25. As used in the last sentence, the “drains” means ______.weakensQuestions 26 – 30 are based on the following passage.A recent survey has shown that the number of people in the United Kingdom who do not intend to get internet access has risen. These people, who are known as ‘net refusenikes’ , make up 44% of UK households, or 11.2 million people in total.The research also showed that more than 70 percent of these people said that they were not interested in getting connected to the internet. This number has risen from just over 50% in 2005, with most giving lack of computer skills as a reason for not getting internet access, though some also said it was because of the cost.More and more people are getting broadband and high speed net is available almost everywhere in the UK, but there are still a significant number of people who refuse to take the first step.The cost of getting online is going down and internet speeds are increasing, so many see the main challenge to be explaining the relevance of the internet to this group. This would encourage them toget connected before they are left too far behind. The gap between those who have access to and use the internet is the digital divide, and if the gap continues to widen, those without access will get left and miss out on many opportunities, especially in their careers.26.The author develops his point by starting with_____.The number of people who don’t intend to use the Internet is going up.27. The expression “ net refuseniks”(Line 2, Para 1) refers to _______.people who don’t intend to get access to the Internet28.The reasons why people had no interest in getting access to the Internet lies in ____.their lack of computer skills and the cost of using the Internet29. “The gap”(Line 3, Para 4) probably exists between ____.people who have access to and use the Internet and those who don’t30. What will be the potential disadvantage for “net refusenikes”?Both A and B.The fiddler crab is a living clock. It indicates the time of day by the color of its skin, which is dark by day and pale by night. The crab’s changing color 11 a regular twenty-four hour plan that exactly matches the daily rhythm of the sun.Does the crab actually keep time, or does its skin simply 12 to the sun’s rays, changing color according to the amount of light that strikes it? To find the reason out, biologists kept crabs in a dark room 13 two months. Even without daylight the crab’s skin color continued to change 14 on time. This characteristic probably 15 gradually in answer to the daily rising and setting of the sun, to help protect the crab 16 sunlight and enemies. After millions of years it has become completely regulated inside the 17 body of the crab.The biologists 18 that once each day the color of the fiddler crab is especially dark, and that each day this happens fifty minutes later than on the day before. From this 19 discovered that each crab follows not only the rhythm of the sun but also that of the tides.

Reading Comprehension (20 points)Some people hate everything that is modern. They cannot imagine how anyone can really like modern music; they find it hard to accept the new fashions in clothing; they think that all modern painting is ugly; and they seldom have a good word for the new buildings that are being built everywhere in the world. Such people look for perfection in everything, and they take their standards of perfection from the past. They are usually impatient with anyone who is brave enough to experiment with new ideas or to express himself or the age in any original ways. It is, of course, true that many artists do not succeed in their work and instead produce works that can only be considered as failures. If the work of art is a painting, the artist’s failure concerns himself alone, but if it is a building, his failure concerns others too, because it may damage the beauty of the whole place. This does sometimes happen, but it is completely untrue to say, as some people do, that modern architecture is nothing.We can’t judge every modern building by the standards of the ancient time, even though we admire the ancient buildings. Technologically, the modern buildings are more advanced. The modern architect knows he should learn from the ancient works, but with his greater resources of knowledge and materials, he will never be content to imitate the past. He is too proud to do that.21. Some people hate everything that is modern because _________.they look at things by the standards of the past22. The writer of the passage thinks that______.it is true to say some artists fail in their work23 The writer thinks the failure of a building ______.concern others24. The writer think that _____.we can’t judge all the modern buildings by the ancient standards25. Technologically, the modern buildings are more advanced. The sentence means ______.the modern architects use more advanced technologyQuestions 26 – 30 are based on the following passage.A few years ago I was shopping with a friend and his 12-year-old daughter in downtown San Francisco. A street musician, whom my friend happened to know from his own musician days, was playing the saxophone on a street corner. His name was Clifford, and he had attracted a large crowd with his performance. After he finished, my friend introduced him to me and his daughter. Clifford asked her if she played any instrument. When she replied that she was taking trumpet lessons and played in her junior high school band, he said, “That’s fine, little lady. Learn your instrument well and you can play anything.”Somehow these simple yet wise words struck me as appropriate not only for a trumpet player but also for a reader. If you learn to read well, you can read anything you want – not just newspapers and magazines, but more difficult material like philosophy, file criticism, military history –whatever interests you as your confidence grows. You would not be limited in any way. If you have the vocabulary – or at least a good dictionary near at hand – you can pick up a book, concentrate on it, and make sense of the author’s words.In the United States, reading instruction often ends at elementary school, so students sometimes have difficulty as they progress through school. They must take their assignments armed only with their elementary school reading skills. The result, too often, is frustration and loss of confidence. And the assigned reading in your college courses will be even greater than they were in high school. Developing Reading Skills is designed to accomplish several tasks; to show you the skills that will enable you to read with greater comprehension, to help you cope with reading assignments with confidence, and to teach you to become an active reader.26.The author develops his point by starting with_____.an incident27. Which of the following statements is implied in Paragraph 1?lifford was a good music teacher.28. “ Struck… as appropriate” in Paragraph 2 most probably means ____.seemed to be appropriate29. With good reading skills, you can ____.work out the author’s meaning if only you concentrate on the book30. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that Developing Reading Skills_____.aims at helping students read betterⅣ.Translation (15 points)31.

The doctor asked for a pen and some paper to write down the name of the medicine, but there was no pen or paper in the village, because no one could read or write.The doctor picked up a piece of burnt wood from the fire. He wrote the name of the medicine on the door of the house. “Get this medicine for him,” he said, “and he will soon get better.”Marek’s family and friends did not know what to do.

Overhead bridges are used in very much the same way as zebra crossings. They are more efficient although less convenient because people have to climb up a long flight ofsteps. This is inconvenient especially to older people. When pedestrians use an overhead bridge, they do not hold up traffic.However, when they cross a busy road using a zebra crossing, traffic is held up. This is why the government has built many overhead bridges to help pedestrians and to keep traffic moving at the same time.The government of Singapore has spent large sums of money building these bridges. For their own safety pedestrians should be encouraged to use them instead of risking their lives by dashing across the road. Old people, however, may find it a little difficult climbing up and down the steps, but it is still much safer than walking across the road with all the danger of moving traffic.Overhead bridges serve a very useful purpose. Pedestrians, both old and young, should make it a habit to use them. This will prevent unnecessary accidents and loss of life.6. What is the advantage of overhead bridges mentioned in this passage?A. Taller vehicle can pass under them.B. Pedestrians can climb up and have a view of the city.C. They don’t hold up traffic and are safer for pedestrians.D. They are easier and more convenient for the pedestrians.7. Why were overhead bridges built in Singapore by its government?A. Because they do not hold up traffic.B. Because they provide an easy way for the drivers to cross the road.C. Because they save money for the government.D. Because they save time for the pedestrians.8. Which of the following is true according to this passage?A. Overhead bridges are found in places where traffic is heavy.B. Overhead bridges are found in every part of Singapore.C. Overhead bridges are found in many parts of the big cities in the world.D. Overhead bridges are only found in the capital Singapore.9. The expression “zebra crossings” in paragraph 2 means ____________.A. a safe place where pedestrians use to walk across a roadB. a big animal covered with alternating black and white stripes in AfricaC. a safe place where zebras walk aroundD. a safe place across a road for children to play a game10. What is the writer’s attitude towards overhea d bridges?A. It is inconvenient to older people to walk across the road.B. It is much safer though a little difficult climbing up and down the steps for pedestrians.C. Overhead bridges are more beautiful than zebra crossingsD. To build overhead bridges is the order of the government.Passage ThreeCars 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 wa s 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 mostcomfortable 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 developedan 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 m ade cars popular. Americans do n’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.11. 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.12. Why do cars become popular in the United States?A. The United States is huge.B. Public transportation is not so good.C. Americans like to be independent.D. Americans like to move around.13. What public transportation is good in the United States?A. Buses.B. Trains.C. Taxis.D. Planes.14. What has caused a big problem for Americans?A. A new kind of car.B. Public transportation.C. The gas shortage.D. Poor people.15. 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.Passage FourOne of the favorite baseball players in the United States during the 1930’s was Leo Frangio. He was born and raised in New York City. As a boy, he was often in trouble with school authorities. He and his friends used to stay away from school to play baseball.He dropped out of high school to begin playing professional ball. In 1931, as a rookie (新手) with the New York Canaries, Leo hit 38 home runs (本垒打). For the next five years he hit 40 to 45 home runs a year. In 1936 he had his best year, hitting 54 home runs with a 365 batting average.Leo was a hero to people everywhere, but it was the children that he felt closest to. He frequently visited hospitals to talk with sick children. He never got married so he always spent Christmas day with children who didn’t have any parents. The childrenliked him as much as Santa Claus.In 1937 Leo had a bad year. After he hit 52 home runs again in 1938, the Canaries decided to trade him. Talks were being held with the Blue Birds an the Robins when Leo said that he was going to retire. He said he would never play for a team other than the Canaries.After leaving baseball Leo had several different jobs. First he had a job as PR (public relations) man for a sporting goods company. He didn’t enjoy the work, though, and he quit after one year. Then he tried working as a sports writer. Since he was not such a good writer, however, he soon gave that up, too.Finally in 1940, he began working as a radio announcer for baseball games. He became very popular because he made the game sound so exciting. During the next fifteen years he added muchto the language of baseball. But as TV became more and more popular Leo decided to quit announcing. He moved back to New York where he is still active in teaching children to play baseball.16. Which team did Leo play for?A. The Canaries.B. The Robins.C. The Orioles.D. The Blue Birds.17. When was Leo’s best year as a player?A. 1938.B. 1936.C. 1931.D. 1937.18. What job did Leo have the longest?A. Playing baseball.B. Working as a PR man.C. Announcing on the radio.D. Working as a sports writer.19. Why did Leo quit announcing?A. Because he was going to be traded.B. Because he became a sports writer.C. Because he went back to New York.D. Because TV became popular.20. Why did Leo Frangio become popular as a radio announcer?A. He was a very good baseball player.B. He made the game sound exciting.C.

The right way to keep healthy is to eat more vegetables and fruits.2. Exercise. Another way which is always be ignored is to exercise more. An average of steps a normal adult have per day is 10000 - 15000.

《综合英语》考试试卷（A卷、闭卷）Part I Reading Comprehension (阅读理解) （每小题3分，共15分）Passage OneSuppose we built a robot to explore the planet Mars. We provide the robot with seeing detectors to keep it away from danger. It is powered entirely by the sun. Should we program the robot to be equally active at all times? No. The robot would be using up energy at a time when it was not receiving any. So we would probably program it to cease its activity at night and to wake up at dawn the next morning.According to the evolutionary theory of sleep, evolution equipped us with a regular pattern of sleeping and waking for the same reason. The theory does not deny that sleep provides some important restorative functions. It merely says that evolution has programmed us to perform those functions at a time when activity would be inefficient and possibly dangerous. However, sleep protects us only from the sort of trouble we might walk into; it does not protect us from trouble that comes looking for us. So we sleep well when we are in a familiar, safe place, but we sleep lightly, if at all, when we fear that bears will nose into the tent.The evolutionary theory accounts well for differences in sleep among creatures. Why do cats, for instance, sleep so much, while horses sleep so little? Surely cats do not need five times as much repair and restoration as horses do. But cats can afford to have long periods of inactivity because they spend little time eating and are unlikely to be attacked while they sleep. Horses must spend almost all their waking hours eating, because what they eat is very low in energy value. Moreover, they cannot afford to sleep too long or too deeply, because their survival depends on their ability to run away from attackers.1.The author uses the example of the robot in space explorationto tell us .A) the differences between robots and menB) the reason why men need to sleepC) about the need for robots to save powerD) about the danger of men working at night2.Evolution has programmed man to sleep at night chiefly to helphim _______.A) maintain a regular pattern of lifeB) prevent trouble that comes looking for himC) avoid danger and inefficient laborD) restore his bodily functions3. According to the author, we cannot sleep well when we ______.A) are worrying about our safety B) are overworkedC) are in a tent D) are away from home4. Cats sleep much more than horses do partly because cats ______.A)need more time for restorationB) are unlikely to be attackersC) are more active than horses when they are awakeD) spend less time eating to get enough energy5.Which of the following is the main idea of the passage?.A) Evolution has equipped all creatures with a regular patternof sleeping and waking.B) The study of sleep is an important part of the evolutionarytheory.C) Sleeping patterns must be taken into consideration in thedesigning of robots.D) The sleeping pattern of a living creature is determined bythe food it eats.Part II Vocabulary & Structure 词汇和结构（每小题2分，共30分）1.The meeting’s been canceled.

For each blank there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D) on the right side of the paper. You should choose the ONE that best fits into the passage. Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.A language is a signaling system which operates with symbolic vocal sounds (语声), and which is used by a group of people for the purpose of communication.Let’s look at this 1 in more detail because it is language, more than anything else, 2 distinguishes man from the rest of the 3 world. Other animals, it is true, communicate with one another by 4 of cries: for example, many birds utter 5 calls at the approach of danger; monkeys utter 6 cries, such as expressions of anger, fear and pleasure. 7 thesevarious means of communication differ in important ways 8 human language.For instance, animals’ cries do not 9 thoughts and feelings clearly. This means, basically, that they lack structure. They lack the kind of structure that 10 us to divide a human utterance into 11.We can change an utterance by 12 one word in it with 13: a good illustration of this is a soldier who can say, e.g., “tanks approaching from the north”, 14 who can change one word and say “aircraft approaching from the north” or “tanks approaching from the west”; but a bird has a single alarm cry, 15 means “danger!”This is why the number of 16 that an animal can make is very limited: the great tit (山雀) is a case 17 point; it has about twenty different calls, 18 in human language the number of possible utterances is 19 . It also explains why animal cries are very 20 in meaning.（）1. A) classification B) definitionC)function D)perception（）2. A) that B) it C)as D)what（）3. A)native B) human C) physical D) animal（）4.
