译文：An increasing number of English-educated Chinese parents overseas have come to the realization that while English learning is indispensable to their children, it is essential that their kids have a good command of Chinese. China’s rise has fully awakened their awareness of the fact that their kids can benefit from their bilingual ability which can not only enhance their competitiveness in the job market, but also facilitate their exposure to and familiarity with the two different cultures between the East and the West.They have hardly changed their attitudes towards Chinese. At one time they proudly declared that they knew English only. Now, they have begun to give full support to their kids learning Chinese and its culture, and they also make occasional visits to China, where they can enjoy its magnificent natural landscape and get to know its rich cultural heritage.解析：本段是一篇文化类介绍文章。

Most people who can’t sleep are their own worst enemies. They go to bed too early.For every person who works most efficiently on the usual eight hours of sleep a night, two work best on five or six, and two on nine or ten. V oltaire made do with three hours but Sir Winston Churchill would happily sleep for 12～14 hours at a stretch if he could.So how much sleep does a person really need? It seems that the national average for men is seven hours and ten minutes, and for women ten minutes less, but everyone’s needs are different. Find out what you need and, according to Dr. Ernest Hartmann, one of America’s leading sleep scientists, you’re well on your way to allowing your body to work at its greatest efficiency.After studying the sleep h abits of nearly 1000 people, Dr Hartmann believes it’s the amount of deep sleep we get that really matters. We all need roughly the same amount—about 75 minutes a night. The rest, a shallower type of sllep, vaies greatly from person to person.How much of the second type of sleep, you need seems to depend on what sort of person you are. According to Dr. Hartmann short sleepers—those sleeping less than six hours a night—were busy, active people, employed in demanding jobs, and often worked a 60 or 70-hour week. Most of them had started sleeping shorter hours to deal with the pressure of schoolwork or business and fornd that a few hours sleep a nightwas quite enough. Their defence against worry and stress was usually “to keep so busy that I don’t have time to think about these things. ...”Most of the long sleepers —those needing at least nine hours —were self-employed. Almost all of them had slept for nine hours a night since late childhood, long before their work pattern became fixed. They tended to complain more than the short sleepers and several admitted that sleeping was an escape from life.In the past it was believed that too much sleep could be just as disturbing as too little, but now a study in America has shown that many people can enjoy ten hours or more and still be able to sleep through the following night.A sleep researcher says:“No one should worry about not sleeping unless they are not feeling well or cannot do their work properly. Lack of sleep doesn’t matter greatly if we are resting—the body can still get on with its repain work. But worrying about not sleeping can sometimes do you harm. There would be far less sleeplessness about if we planned our sleeping lives as carefully as we plan our waking ones.”1. According to the passage, people have difficulty getting to sleep because.A. they work more than sixty hours a weekB. they have too many enemiesC. they do not sleep happilyD. they are not tired enough2. In comparison with V oltaire, Sir Winston Churchill.A. was happier with three hours of sleepB. would sleep more when stretched outC. world enjoy a longer sleep if possibleD. was less happy when he was asleep3. Studies show that the average woman.A. sleeps less than the average manB. sleeps longer when she goes out to workC. has difficulty in getting to sleepD. sleeps over eight hours a night4. Dr. Harmann is mentioned in the passage.A. as the opponent of Dr. Ian OswaldB. because he has strange sleeping habitsC. as the pioneering sleep scientistD. because of his observation and analysis of sleep habits5. Not being able to sleep can be dangerous if we.A. are feeling wellB. worry about it too muchC. repair our bodies by restingD. plan our sleeping lives carefullyQuestions 6～10I think it was De Mandeville who suggested a river party for the staffs of the various embassies. Nor, on the face of it, was the idea a bad one. All winter long the logs come down the River Sava until the frost locks them in: now with the spring thaw the river has a pontoon of treetrunks some forty feet wide lining the bank under the willows so that you can walk out over the river, avoiding the margins, and swim in the deep water.These logs had been made into a hundred feet by sixty—big enough even to dance on. While everyone was dancing the rumba and while the buffet was plying a heavytrade, it was noticed that the distance between the raft and the shore had noticeably increased. The gang-plank subsided in the ooze. It was not a great distance—perhaps ten feet. But owing to the solid resistance such a large raft set up in the main current the pull was definitely outward. But as yet nobody was alarmed; indeed most of the party thought it was part of a planned entertainment.As we approached the next bend of the river it looked as if the whole thing would run aground on the bank, and a few of us made preparations to grab hold of the overhanging willows and halt our progress. But by ill luck a change in the current carried us just too far into the centre of the river and we were carried past the spit of land, vainly groping at the tips of bushes.It was about another five minutes before the full significance of our position began to dawn upon us. By this time we were moving in stately fashion down the centre of the river, all lit up like a Christmas tree. Exclamations, suggestions, counter suggestions poured from the lips of the diplomates and their spouses in a dozen tongues.Unknown to us, too, other factors were being introduced which were to make this a memorable night for us all. Spy-mania was at its height and the Yugoslav forces lived in a permanent state of alertness. There were frequent rumours of armed raids from Czechoslovakia.It was in this context that some Yugoslav infantryman at an observation post along the river saw what he took to be a large armed man on war full of Czech paratroops in dinner jackets and ball dresses sailing upon Belgrade. He did not wait to verify this first impression. He galloped into Belgrade Castle a quarter of an hour later on a foam-flecked mule with the news that the city was about to be invaded.6. According to the passage, a river party was practicable because__________.A. the river was lined with willow treesB. the banks were not muddy at this timeC. there was a suitable surface for walking onD. there was not too much frost at this season7. The raft started moving from the shore because___________.A. the gang-plank had fallen in the mudB. the buffet was too heavyC. it was too large to stay in placeD. the organisers wanted to surprise the guests8. The raft did not stop at the next bend because_______________.A. there was too much mud on the river bankB. There were only bushes to catch hold ofC. the current made it swirl outwardsD. the water was not shallow enough9. According to the passage, people on the raft were____________.A. completely unaware of their situationB. quarrelling angrilyC. indignant with the organizers of the partyD. anxious to help solve the problem10. The Yugoslav look out made a mistake because______________.A. the party were dressed in soldiers’ uniformsB. the raft was sailing towards BelgradeC. many of the party were armedD. he was affected by the general tensionQuestions 11～15The elephants left the shade, crossed an open piece of grass between bushes, and came towards the mud-pool where my truck was parked. One by one they arrived on the shore, but, just as they seemed to be about to bathe in the inviting muddy liquid, they became aware of the silent truck with its tell-tale smell of man. the leading elephant merely spread her ears and cautiously backed away taking the young elephants with her.A smaller mother elephant continued to stand next to the pool, however, swinging her long trunk and swaying her head from side to side, always keeping an eye on the truck. The baby elephant behind her held up his head, waving his trunk to sample the suspicious smell in the wind. The mother elephant seemed to be uncertain about whether to come on and investigate the truck or to back away with the other. Finally she made up her mind and slowly advanced on the truck. Her ears were helf out, and her trunk moved inquiringly towards the vehicle and then back under her stomach in a rhythmic swing.I was fascinated by this close approach. Never before had I been able to see the hairiness around the jaw, nor smell the warm scent of elephant, which now reached me in concentrat ed waves. The mother elephant’s steps were slow but determine, and brought her to within a couple of metres of me.She gave the impression of being intensely curious about this metal object with had appeared in her world and behaved as if it were itself an animal. I wondered how far she would accept the situation and, if after all the centuries of men killing elephant, she would ever allow me to approach her on foot. To be able to move freely among theelephants without their minding was an exciting thought, but I certainly did not expect it would ever be possible.11. It was the elephants’ intention to___________.A. feed on the grassB. lie in the sunshineC. swim in the poolD. avoid the mud12. The presence of the writer and his vehicle______________.A. was not noticed by the elephantsB. made the leading elephant suspiciousC. made the adult elephants curiousD. frightened all the elephants away13. How did the smaller elephant react to the truck?A. She showed more curiosity than other elephants.B. She kept her baby away from it.C. After some hesitation she moved away with other elephants.D. She rushed up to it excitedly.14. While he watched the mother elephant approaching, the author______________.A. was worried that the elephants were too closeB. found the smell very unpleasantC. was impressed by the elephant’s sizeD. saw the details he had not noticed before15. The author did not expect he would ever be able to_________________.A. see the elephants killedB. touch the elephantsC. walk about freely near the elephantsD. drive his truck close to the elephantsQuestions 16～20Whatever may be said against mass circulation magazines and newspapers, it can hardly be argued that they are out of touch with their reader’s daydreams, and therefore the inducements such as gifts and prizes and prizes they hold out to them must be a near accurate reflection of their unfulfilled wants and aspirations. Study these and you will assuredly understand a good deal of what it is that makes society tick.Looking back, for example, to the twenties and thirties, we can see that circulation managers unerringly diagnosed the twin obsessions which dominated that era of mass unemployment-economic insecurity and a passionate concern for the next generation. Thus it was that readers were recruited with offers of free insurance policies for the one, and free instant, or an arm in a flood, could confidently expect to collect several hundred pounds from the Daily This of the Evening That. The family who could not afford to send their son to grammar school could find consolation in equipping him with the complete works of Shakespeare in one magnificent, easy to read volume.After the war the need to fall into step with the new consumer society was soon realised. If you were flanked by neighbours who, unlike you, could afford a holiday abroad, then winning an easy competition could set you up with a fortnight in an exotic sunspot. Dishwashers, washing machines, slow-cookers and deep-fat-friers were—and still are — available by the same means.16. The writer finds the study of gifts and prizes interesting because it_____________.A. shows the power of the popular pressB. reveals social trendsC. confirms his view of human natureD. exposes journalistic dishonesty17. It can be inferred from the passage that newspapers in the 1920s and 1930s offered their readers gifts in order to______________.A. spread popular educationB. increase their circulationC. improve social conditionsD. enrich their readers’ knowledge18. The choice of gifts tells us that the circulation managers______________.A. despised their readersB. wanted to educate their readersC. understood their readersD. enjoyed being powerful19. According to the passage, one of the reasons why readers in the 1920s and 130s were attracted by free insurance policies was that_____________.A. they were afraid of being unable to workB. jobs were more dangerous thenC. they had bigger families to look afterD. money was given away with the policies20. Why did holidays abroad become a common prize after the war?A. People became more interested in material possessions.B. Everyone wanted the opportuity to travel.C. Group travel became easier.D. People wanted to get away from familiar surroundings.Questions 21～25Extract 1A stylish dining room with cream walls and curtains and black carpet ad foil to an eclectic array of furniture. Many of the pieces are classics of their particular era, and demonstrate how old and new designs can be happily mixed together. The prototype chair in the foreground has yet to prove its staying power and was thought up by the flat’s occupant. He is pictured in his living area which has the same decorative theme and is linked to the dining-room by a high Medieval-styled archway where there was once a redundant and uninspiring fireplace.Extract 2Old bathrooms often contain a great deal of ugly pipework in need of disguising. This can either be done by boxing in the exposed pipes, or by fitting wood panelling over them.As wood panelling can be secured over almost anything—including old ceramic tiles and chipped walls—it is an effective way of disguising pipework as well as being an attractive form of decoration. The panelling can be vertical, horizontal or diagonal.An alternative way to approach the problem of exposed pipes is to actually make them a feature of the room by picking the pipework out in bright strong colours.Extract 3Cooking takes second place in this charming room which, with its deep armchairs,is more of a sitting-room than a kitchen, and the new Rayburn stove was a good choice, as it blends in well with the old brick and beamed fireplace. There are no fitted units or built-in appliances, so all food preparation is done at the big farmhouse table in the foreground, and the china, pots and pans have been deliberately left on show to make an attractive display. What about the kitchen sink? It’s hidden away behind an archway which leads into a small scullery. Here there’s a sec ond cooker and —in the best farmhouse tradition )a huge, walk-in larder for all food storage.21. In what way does the colour of the carpet contribute to the stylishness of the dining room?A. It darkens the interior of the room.B. It provides a contrast to the furniture.C. It blends in with the tones of the funrniture.D. It gives the room a classical style.22. What is the purpose of the archway described in Extract 1?A. To hide an unattractive fireplace.B. To give the room an exotic eastern style.C. To Join the dining room with another room.D. to make room for the unusual seating arrangements.23. Extract 2 is most probably taken from___________.A. a fashion magazineB. a plumber’s manualC. a do-it –yourself magazineD. an advertisement for new bathrooms24. Extracts 2 and 3 focus on____________.A. old furnitureB. colour schemesC. cheap improvementsD. decorative approaches25. Which of the following rooms is NOT described in the three extracts?A. Dining-room.B. Siting-room.C. Bath-room.D. Kitchen.Question 26～30If You Really Want to Read This, You’ll Be too BusyNEW YORK—Pythagoras had his theorems, Einstein his theories and Murphy his laws. I have developed the maxim of inverse reciprocals.After years of research, I’ve determined inverse rec iprocals affecting all human endeavors. Consider these categorized examples.Travel There is an inverse reciprocal between:·the amount of luggage you are carrying and the distance from curbside to the airline ticket counter. The more luggage, the greater the distance.·the ammount of time you have left before the flight leaves and the distance you must go to reach the gate from which the plane leaves. If you have 30 minutes, the gate is 25 feet from the ticket counter. If you have three minutes, the gate is on the other side of airport.Vacations These is an inverse reciprocal between:·the size of the nonrefundable deposit you have already made and the health of the children(or spouse) the night before you are scheduled to leave.·the time at which you take a much needed long weekend, and the weather。

Lincoln was not even the primary speaker at the ceremonies, held at the height of the Civil War in 1863, to dedicate the battle field at Gettysburg. The main speaker was orator Edward Everest, whose two-hour speech was followed by Lincoln’s shorter r emarks. Lincoln began his small portion of the program with the words that today are immediately recognized by most Americans:”Four score and seven years ago our father brought forth on this continent a new nation conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.” At the time of the speech, little notice was given to what Lincoln had said, and Lincoln considered his appearance at the ceremonies rather unsuccessful. After his speech appeared in print, appreciation for his words began to grow, and today it is recognized as one of the all-time greatest speeches.6. The main idea of this passage is that .A.the Gettysburg Address has always been regarded as a masterpieceB.at the time of its delivery the Gettysburg Address was truly appreciated as a masterpieceC.it was not until after 1863 that Lincoln’s speech was recorded in historyD.Lincoln is better recognized today than he was at the time of his presidency7.

The pronoun “it” in the last sentence refers to which of the following?A.His speech.B.Print.C.Appreciation.D.His appearance.Questions 11～14Even if the saying “cold hands, warm heart” were really true, the warmhearted probably would prefer to forgo frozen fingers during the winter. In Japan, where central heating is still something of a luxury. Aoi Co., LtD.has been distributing asmall disposable hand-and-body warmer that makes use of a harmless chemical reaction in order to generate heat. This winter the Poco body warmer is making its debut in Canada, the United States and patrs of Europe. In addition to chasing away winter chills, the body warmer can be used to help relieve pain that results from muscle sprains and arthritis. The Poco body warmer measures about three by five inches and is one-quarter inch thick.. It consists of a cloth bag containing a mixture of iron powder, moisturized wood powder, activated carbon and salt. To get it going, the user simply opens the outer vinyl bag in which the unit is vacuum-packed and shakes the cloth bag. The unit then absorbs oxygen from the air, which in conjunction with the moisture from the wood powder oxidizes the iron, giving off heat. The packet maintains an average temperature of 140 degree Fahrenheit for 24 hours, according to the manufacturer. Aoi Co. officials say that the product contains o toxic chemicals. The only precaution users need to follow is to avoid direct contact between the skin and the body warmer because burns can occur. The unit sells for about 1.11. What is the author’s main purpose in the passage?A.To explain a chemical reaction.B.To recommend a cure for arthritis.C.To introduce a new product.D.To compare central heating with the body warmer.12. Which of the following is LEAST likely to generate heat.A.It makes use of electric power to generate heat.B.It measures about three by five inches and is one quarter inch thick.C.It contains iron powder, wood powder, carbon and salt.D.It maintains an average temperature of 140 degrees Fahrenheit.13. In the first paragraph, the word “forgo” in “to forgo frozen fingers”could best be replaced by which of the following?A.warm.B.forgetC.put up with.D.do without14. In the second paragraph, the word”it” in “To get it going” refers to.A.arthritisB.muscle sprainC.the body warmerD.moisturized wood powderQuestions 15～19Seoul, once city for kings, can now claim to be a city for commuters. The third nation in the Orient to develop an underground rapid-transit system, Korea opened its first line in 1974. After 12 years of continuing construction, Seoul had finally completed the rest of its extensive subway system, capable of serving 5 million commuters a day.The 73-mile-long system, the world’s seventh largest, is expected to alleviate the acute daily traffic congestion downtown.For an estimated $ 2.7 billion, the city has built one of the most modem subways in the world, replete with air-conditioning, high-tech ticket machines and escalators to deep-level stations. The subway stops, bucking an international tradition of dull concrete walls, are attractions themselves: many ate lined with shopping arcades, others sponsor art exhibits and several have been blasted out of granite and left in theirnatural state, creating an eerie, cave like effect.The subway is a long-term solution to transit problems in a city that is bursting at the seams with 9.5 million people. It is designed to encourage the growth of satellite cities along the lines that run outside the city proper. Efficiency, safety and economy are the catchwords of the Seoul Metropolitan Subway Corporation, which handled construction and now manages the four lines. But traditional concern for cleanliness adds to the popularity of this rapid mode of underground transportation.Recently 20 young couples chose the subway as the site for their wedding ceremonies, proof that the system is heralding a new age of modem living for the inhabitants of the nation’s capital.15. According to the passage, how many cities in the world have subway systems larger than that in Seoul, Korea?A.None.B.Three.C.SixD.Seven.16. Which of the following is LEAST likely to be seen in the subway in Seoul?muters.B.Shopping arcades and art exhibits.C.Natural caves.D.Wedding couples.17. Which of the following can be concluded from the passage?A.The subway system was completed in 1986.B.Everyday more than nine million people travel by subway.C.The subway was built in a huge cave.D.The subway corporation is making a huge profit.18. Which of the following is NOT the reason for constructing the underground transit system?A.The growth of population in the city.B.The traffic congestion downtown.C.The traditional concern for a better environment.D.The lack of wedding ceremony sites.19. Why do some young couples choose the subway as the site for their wedding ceremonies?A.It is cleaner than places on the grounD.B.It is a symbol of modem living.C.It is the world’s seventh largest subway.D.It is built in the nation’s capital.Questions 20～24The whole world is going, or has already gone, maD.I do not say this because of problems like the arms race, pollution or the population explosion. These are bad enough, but I think we now have a more serious problem: our desire to make ourselves miserable by sitting ourselves unnecessary problems, called puzzles. Dozens of magazines are published every month with names like The Puzzler, Enigmatic and Brain Teasers. They contain problems which you can do without, and solutions which do not make you feel any better.The electronics industry is now cashing in on our strange need to set ourselves difficult tasks. Their computer games are even nastier, because the torture (the painthey cause) is not only mental but also physical. Only a superman could possibly keep up with the fast-moving dots which represent space invaders, or whatever they are supposed to be.Where does it all start, and why do we do it? It starts when our well-meaning parents try to amuse, amaze and puzzle us wit h games like “I-Spy”. Later the whole thing becomes more sinister, when these puzzles (like “Odd Man Out” and the number series) are used as tests to see if we are clever enough or suitable for a particular course or joB.And it ends on the bookstalls with those piles of puzzle magazines—usually with a pretty smiling girl on the front cover. (What is she smiling about? Why isn’t she as miserable as the rest of us?)We have plenty of real problems to worry us, and yet we create artificial problems to enable us to be miserable in our spare time as well. Why all this misery? The reason is actually very simple: because of a huge cosmic mistake, we have been put, by accident, on the wrong planet. Out there some where, deep in space, is a beautiful planet where we should have been put, a much more peaceful place than ours, a place with no problems, either real or imagineD.The sad thing is that it is probably inhabited by creatures who should have been put on Earth. I bet they have a thriving puzzle book industry too!20. The writer thinks the world is mad because of.A.the arms raceB.the increasing world populationC.our spending little time doing puzzlesD.the electronics industry21. The writer defines a puzzle as kind of problem which is.A.artificialB.unnecessaryC.odd or strangeD.miserable22. When parents set puzzles for their children, they are trying to.cate themB.test themC.entertain themD.control them23. Puzzles like”Odd Man Out”and the number series are also used as tests. The writer thinks that this use of puzzles isA.amusingB.dangerousC.cleverD.a good idea24. The writer’s questions about the girl on the puzzle magazine cover sugge st he finds her smile.A.attractiveB.irritatingC.amusingD.prettyQuestions 25～30One of the most difficult questions to answer is how much a job is worth. We naturally expect that a doctor’s salary will be higher than a bus conductor’s wages. Butthe question becomes much more difficult to answer when we compare, say, a miner with an engineer, or an unskilled man working on an oil-rig in the North Sea with a teacher in a secondary school. What the doctor, the engineer and the teacher have in common is that they have devoted several years of their lives to studying in order to obtain the necessary qualifications for their professions. We feel instinctively that these skills and these years, when they were studying instead of earning money, should be rewardeD.At the same time we recognize that the work of the miner and the oil-rig labourer is both hard and dangerous, and that they must be highly paid for the risks they take.Another factor we must take into consideration is how socially useful a man’s work is regardless of the talents he may bring to it. Most people would agree that looking after the sick or teaching children is more important than, say selling second-hand cars or improving the taste of toothpaste by adding a red stripe to it. Yet it is almost certain that the used-car salesman earns more than the nurse and the research chemist earns more than the schoolteacher.Indeed, this whole question of just rewards can be burned on its heaD.You can argue that a man who does job which brings him personal satisfaction is already receiving part of his reward in the form of a so-called”psychic wage”, and that it is the man with the boring, repetitive job who needs more money to make up for the soul-destroying monotony of his work. It is significant that those jobs which are traditionally regarded as “vocations”—nursing, teaching and the Church, for example—continue to be poorly paid, while others, such as those in the world of sport or entertainment, carry financial rewards out of all proportion to their social worth.25. The professional man, such as the doctor, should be well-paid because.A.he has spent several years learning how to do his jobB.his work involves much greater intelligence than, say, a bus conductor’sC.he has to work much harder than most other peopleD.he knows more than other people about his subject26. It is difficult to compare a doctor and a miner because.A.a miner’s work is not as useful as a doctor’sB.a miner has a specialist in his own fieldC.a miner has to learn just as many skills to be able to do his job wellD.a miner’s job is less skilled but on the other hand it is more dangerous27. You can compare an engineer with a teacher because.A.they both do useful workB.they both earn the same kind of salaryC.one does socially important work and the other does dangerous workD.they have both spent several years in training28 As far as rewarding people for their work is concerned, the writer thinks that.A.people doing manual work should be double paidB.we should pay people according to their talentsC.we should pay for socially-useful work, regardless of the person’s talentD.qualified people should be the highest paid29. The argument of the‘psychic wage’ is used to explain why.A.people who do socially important work are not always well paidB.people who do monotonous jobs are highly paidC.you should not try to compare the pay of different professionsD.some professional people are paid more than others30. We learn from the passage that a man who does a boring, repetitive joB.A.receives less money than he deservesB.should receive more money as a compensation for the drudgery of his workC.can only expect more money if his job is a highly-skilled oneD.has no interest in his work apart from the money he receives for doing itSECTION 3: TRANSLATION TEST (1) (30 minutes)Directions: Translate the following passage into Chinese and write your version in the corresponding space in your ANSWER BOOKLET.The shape of the world is changing almost as dramatically as this city’s skyline. Today the cold war is over. The risk of the global nuclear conflict has been greatly reduced and the free flow of goods and ideas is bringing to life the concept of a global village. But just as all nations can benefit from the promise of this new world, no nation is immune to its perils. We all have a stake in building peace and prosperity, and in confronting threats that respects no borders—terrorism and drug trafficking, disease and environmental destruction. To meet these challenges most effectively, China and the United States must act in concert. Some argue that with the Cold War’s end, the strategic importance of the US-China relationship has diminisheD.I believe they have it exactly backwards. As a new century begins, the importance of strengthening the ties between the United States and China will grow even greater.SEOTIOW 4: TRANSLATION TEST (2) (30 minutes)Directions: Translate the following passage into English and write your version in the corresponding space in your ANSWER BOOKRLET.手术室的门开了，我和爸爸急忙走进去。

I didn’t come all the way up to the city for that, did I?(Man) Do you think you’ll ever go back to West Virginia to live?(Woman) Someday, maybe, but not until I’ve had more experience.

Who is the man?Questions 23 to 26 are based on the following talk.(Woman) Colds have always been a nuisance, and people have tried many strange ways to cure them. None however, have worked. One Roman historian even recommended kissing the nose of a hairy mouse! But even though the cold is the illness we most love to hate, we are only a little closer to finding a cure for it.Scientists have discovered, through thousands of different tests and experiments, that a cold is not caused by a single virus, but by many. They have proved that people under stress are more likely to catch colds, although why this happens is still unknown. Experimentsalso showed that women suffer more colds than men. But again, scientists are unable to explain why this is so.Another experiment proved that getting cold does not cause colds. For this experiment, one group of human volunteers were showered with water and then made to stand in a windy corridor. Another group remained dry and inside a heated room. While you might expect people in the first group to catch cold more easily, they didn’t.One other thing that we now know is that colds are spread by water vapour from breath. This would explain why colds are more common in the winter than at other times: people spend more time indoors closer to other people, and also away from fresh air.Question No.23. According to the talk, what did the Roman historian recommend doing in order to cure colds?Question No.24. Which group of people are more likely to catch colds?Quest。

Each one is followed by several questions about it. You are to choose ONE best answer, (A), (B), (C) or (D), to each question. Answer all the questions following each passage on the basis of what is stated or implied in thatpassage and write the letter of the answer you have chosen in the corresponding space in your ANSWER BOOKLET.Question 1~5The final irony in the case of the Bridgewater Three is that they might have has a far better chance of a new life if they had committed a crime. As Michael and Vincent Hickey and James Robinson try to come to terms with the last 18 years, they will receive none of the help or rehabilitation that convicted criminals could expect.Psychologists and probation officers say the effect on those wrongfully convicted can be compared to hostages held in the Middle East. Many face severe depression and post-traumatic stress disorder. "No amount of compensation will pay for what they've been through," said David Boag, a chartered forensic psychologist who has in prisons for nearly 30 years. "This would devastate anybody. It is likely to have very, very negative effects on their life for a very long time."At the moment they will be very excited about being released, but after a while they could be overwhelmed by feelings of depression."People who were wrongfully held often did suffer post-traumatic stress disorder:"They keep on going over and over the case. They can't get shot of it. They keep reliving the experience."He said there were four main stages people went through: "Sometimes they go into denial and can't believe it's happened that they have actually been released. Then there is anger and resentment that it happened in the first place. After that they may become emotionally drained and depressed. They feel like they are disappearing down the black hole. Then there is the final adjustment and acceptance but you don't know how long it can take."It is a familiar tale to previous victims of injustice. A year after his release Paddy Hill, one of the Birmingham Six, said in a newspaper interview:"Sometimes I feel like bursting into tears, or I have just to walk away... There are times when I wish I was back in jail."In the cases of the Guildford Four, they found different ways of adjusting. While Gerard Conlon achieved fame and money through his best-selling autobiography, In the Name of the Father, and Paul Hill married into the Kennedy clan, the other two, Patrick Armstrong and Carole Richardson, have quietly faded into anonymity.In purely practical terms the Bridgewater Three will have to adjust to a very different world to the one they left in 1979. Since then the Cold War has ended, the Berlin Wall has come down and Nelson Mandela has been released. In day-to-day life back in 1979, simple electronic calculators were prized pieces of advanced technology, office workers used typewriters and the equivalents of desk-top PCs took up small rooms. Remote controls for televisions were still a thing of the future as were hole-in-the-wall cash dispensers."There have been major changes in society," said Dr. Gisli Gudjonsson, reader in forensic psychology at the University of London. "They will not be used to the increased traffic or the differences in technology. They may find it terrifying to get on a bus or a train or the Tube. And if people are let out suddenly they have no opportunity to adjust."This is the major problem psychologists agree that the Bridgewater Three face. They willnot have had any preparation which long-term prisoners normally receive and they will not be supervised by the probation service on their release. For the convicted criminal, the probation service must make sure there is accommodation arranged, that prisoners are signed on at social security and are connected to employment serices. With no such service for the wrongfully convicted, they could even have problems even with tasks such as opening a bank account.1. According to passage, which of the following is NOT true about the Bridgewater Three?(A) They were jailed eighteen years ago.(B) They were released after the completion of their prison terms.(C) They have been found not guilty after 18 years of imprisonment.(D) They are victims of injustice.2. The statement "They can't get shot of it."(para.4) can be paraphrased as "_________"(A) They do not know how to face the future.(B) They are too excited to believe they are free.(C) They are unable to rid themselves of the emotional disorder.(D) They do not learn the lesson from their imprisonment.3. It can be concluded that all of the foolowing statements about the Bridgewater Three, the Birmingham Six and the Guidford Four are true EXCEPT that _______.(A) they are the victims of injustice(B) they face the difficulty of adjustment after release(C) they were wrongfully held in prison for a number of years(D) they win their freedom through their own struggle4. The author listed (in para. 8) a number of changes in political, social and day-to-day life mainly to show ______.(A) how difficult it is for the Bridgewater Three to adjust to the world today(B) how fast the world will have been changing when crimes are under control(C) how advanced the modern technology has become(D) how close the relationship is between politics and science5. In writing the last paragraph of the passage the author ______.(A) gives the summery of the article(B) lists more examples of the injustice done to the Bridgewater Three(C) shows the different treatments the Bridgewater Three and convicted criminals receive(D) criticizes openly the injustice imposed on the Bridgewater ThreeQuestion 6~10Displaying a giant banner protesting global warming, Greenpeace, the confrontational environmental group that has known better days, on Wednesday brought its campaign against oil exploration in the arctic to downtown Los Angeles.Two activists climbed 13 stories up Atlantic Richfield's 51-story building before unfurling a banner featuring a polar bear and reading "Arctic oil:Global Warming, Chill the Drills."Greenpeace has chosen the bear as a symbol because of scientific concerns about thevulnerability of arctic wildlife to global warming as icebergs melt and the northern habitat heats.Five people were arrested at the demonstration, which caused police to temporarily close portions of two streets and snarled downtown traffic for hours as Fire Department personnel positioned huge air bags on the ground in case the climbers fell.For Greenpeace, the demonstration was one of several recent protests, after a reorganization over the summer, that mark a reemphasis of the sort of dramatic direct action that made the group famous.After a steep decline in U.S. membership that saw the rolls drop to 420,000 from more than 1 million in 1991, the organization earlier this year closed 10 field offices across the country. It also began calling attention to some of its less controversial work--its efforts to develop a more energy-efficient car and its lobbying for tougher restrictions on the huge "factory" trawlers widely blamed for depleting worldwide fish populations.But in September, members of the group launched a small flotilla of inflatable dinghies into Alaska's Becaufort Sea in an effort to prevent a huge floating oil rig from moving to a drill site in coastal waters off the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.Greenpeace has targeted Arco because of the company's plans to look for oil just off the arctic refuge, the home of an extraordinary array of northern wildlife.Although drilling operations could lead to spills or accidents that might harm bears, whales and birds, Greenpeace says its main concern is the long-term climate effects of oil dependency. The burning of fossil fuels is considered to be the primary way people contribute to global warming.Al Greenstein, a company spokeaman, said that Greenpeace was wrong to equate arctic oil drilling with global warming."It's not a production issue. It's a matter of consumption," Greenstein said."As long as people choose to depend on oil, and we think they will for decades to come, the choice is whether to import oil or develop our own sources."The five Los Angeles protesters were arrested on suspicion of trespassing.6. The expression "that has known better days"(para. 1) can mean all of the following EXCEPT that ______.(A) it has once achieved more successes(B) it has once has a larger membership(C) it has once organized more direct actions(D) it has once been involved in more controversial issues7. The expression "Chill the Drills" in the slogan "Arctic Oil: Global warming, Chill the Drills." (para. 2) can possibly be paraphrased as "_______".(A) save the polar bears(B) stop the oil exploration(C) reduce the consumption of fossil fuels(D) destroy the drilling apparatus8. Which of the following is implied, but not directly stated, in the passage?(A) Greenpeace has had a sharp decline in membership.(B) Greenpeace has changed its tactics.(C) Greenpeace has resumed dramatic direct actions.(D) Greenpeace has undergone reorganization.9. According to the passage, the five protesters were arrested at the demonstration under the accusation that _____.(A) they stopped the traffic for hours(B) they destroyed part of the building(C) they invaded private property without permission(D) they organised and headed up the demonstration10.Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?(A) Greenpeace Targets Arco Building in Latest Protest(B) Five Protesters Arrested at Greenpeace Demonstration(C) Polar Bears: Central Concern of Greenpeace(D) Oil Production vs. Oil Consumption: Global WarmingQuestions 11~15Oscar Wilde, the celebrated wit and playwright who ended his days in disgrace and ruin, is finally being remembered in the way he wanted. As he put it:"Something more than a man with a tragic vice in his life. There is so much more in me, and I always was a good father to both my children."A century after his release, Britain is going wild for Wilde. His comedies, such as The Importance of Being Earnest, (which he described as "exquisitely trivial") and Lady Windermere's Fan have enjoyed a consistent popularity in repertory theatres around the country, and in the next few months his personality and cultural impact will be explored in a west End play, two screen versions and a new biography.The film Wilde, due out in the autumn and starring actor and author Stephen Fry, intends to balance his homosexuality, for which he was imprisoned, with his love for his wife, Constance, and two sons.The producers, brothers Marc and Peter Samuelson, said they felt that the Victorian writer's scandalous affair with Lord Alfred "Bosie" Douglas, which led to his downfall, painted an "incomplete" picture of the man.Directed by Brian Gilbert, the film focuses on 15 years of Wilde's life, when most of his great works, including The Importance of Being Earnest and An Ideal Husband, were written. The script is adapted from Richard Ellmann's definitive biography, and Vanessa Redgrave plays Wilde's mother.Only now, says Fry, is his subject receiving the universal respect that is his due."He stands for all people who refused to freeze themselves into a moral code," he said on BBC Radio yesterday.Because of today's more liberal attitudes, the film is likely to be more sexually explicit thanprevious studies which could not focus enough on homosexuality, and instead merely alluded to sexual practices which Wilde himself called "feadting with panthers."The actor Simon Callow has been winning rave reviews for The Importance of Being Oscar, a one-man show at the Savoy Theatre which opened last week, in which he attempts to humanise, rather than eulogise the playwright."Wilde constructed a personality for himself, believing that on it depended his value as an artist," Callow has said. "By personality he didn't mean in the corrupted sense... but the inner life transformed into the outer self."Wilde's grandson, Merlin Holland, has given the show his enthusiastic backing. He hinself is working on a new book about his ancestor's life, and he said yesterday:"The British public are happy enough to read his children's stories to their children, or clap at revivals of The Importance of Being Earnest, but his private life you just didn't ask about.""To find now that it's all been brough back together and the whole man is there is delightful. I'm very happy about that."Also in progress is a film version of Wilde's play The Ideal Husband, which is about a cabinet minister revered by all women as being the ideal man, yet who hides his corruption behind a facade.Wilde himself has already won a kind of establishment acceptance. In 1995, he was finally given the stamp of approval with an inscription on a new stained-glass window at Poets' Corner in Westminster Abbey. Even the present Marquess of Queensberry, descendant of the man who put Wilde behind bars for sodomy, was reported to have joined the Oscar Wilde Society.But Professor Alan Sinfield, author of The Wilde Century, says that the image of Wilde, as a consequence of the trials, set up the notion of the queer man of the 20th century."I thought at the time there's always been two Oscar Wildes-one that's synonym for queerness and the one that's at the Haymarket with all sorts of knights and ladies." Until recently, he said, it was quite difficult to marry the two together.The fact that newest productions were doing so could signify an increasingly enlightened attitude towards homosexuality--or "a technique for putting homosexuality back into a box, by saying we recognise that, enough of it, now we'll get to the full man," Professor Sinfield said.11. All of the following plays were written by the playwright Oscar Wilde EXCEPT_____.(A) The Importance of Being Earnest (B) Lady Windermere's fan(C) The Importance of Being Oscar (D) The Ideal Husband12. The word "vice" in the expression "Something more than a man with a tragic vice in his life"(para. 1) can best be replaced by which of the following?(A) ill fate (B) immoral character(C) vicious intention (D) mental weakness13. The present Marquess of Queensberry is mentioned in the passage to show that ________.(A) Wilde is still quite popular with the public(B) Wilde is no longer condemned for his homosexuality(C) people remember Wilde in the way he wanted(D) the change of attitude toward Wilde is radical enough14. It can be concluded from Professor Alan Sinfield's comment that _______.(A) there are two contrastive images of the playwright Oscar Wilde(B) there are two Oscar Wildes in British literary history(C) the two Oscar Wildes could never agree with each other(D) the playwright Oscar Wilde changed his personality later in life15. Which of the following is NOT true about the playwright Oscar Wilde according to thepassage?(A) Wilde has been considered a controversial figure over the past century.(B) There is a strong revival of interest in both Wilde's plays and his personality.(C) The reevaluation of Oscar Widle is more objective and humanistic.(D) The British public fully accept Wilde's homosexuality.Questions 16~20All men can trace their ancestry back to one man who lived 150,000 years ago and whose closest living relatives are a small tribe in South Africa, according to scientists who have spent a decade searching for the original Adam.Research into the human Y chromosome--which sons only inherit from their fathers--has pinpointed the time and place where just one man gave rise to the male genetic ingredients of all men alive today.The geneticists have also located the oldest direct descendants of this Adam, whom they say lived alongside an African Eve who was identified in similar studies 10 years ago.The khoisan people of South Africa, some with a hunter-gatherer tradition stretching back thousands of years, share most of the genetic traits that first arose when Adam hunted game and collected berries in his African Garden of Eden.Two independent investigations of minute mutations on the Y chromosome pinpointed the Khoisan people, who are also known as Bushmen or Hottentots, as the only ethnic group to possess so many ancient remnants of the original Adam.Dr. Michael Hammer, a geneticist at the University of Arizona, analysed the Y chromosome of more than 1,500 men selected from ethnic groups around the world and found a clear line of descendent from the African Adam to the present-day Khoisan people."One way of looking at this is that the Y chromosome traces back to people who lived in Africa. We have evidence that the Y chromosomes in all men today trace back to one African male at some time in the past," he said. "It is possible that this male was not anatomically modern. He may have been more like Homo erectus, one of our hominid ancestors, but his Y chromosome survived the change in the way we look."By studying the variety of mutations in the Y chromosome of men alive today, Hammer's team was able to determine how long it has taken these genetic changes to arise and where the original source came from.He found that the Khoisan, who speak a unique click language, preserved an ancient geneticsignal as well as an old cultural heritage. "The oldest branch of the ［human family］tree that traces all the way back to Adam is represented today by the Khoisan people," Hammer said. "Something like 20% of the Khoisan men have this old, old Y chromosome. We don't find it at all in European populations and it is present in very low levels, 2% or 3%, in other African groups."A separate study of Y chromosomes by Dr. Peter Oefner, a senior researcher at Stanford University in California, also supports the link between Adam and the Khoisan, who now live in South Africa but whose ancestors probably emigrated from the Rift V alley of east Africa where Homo sapiens is believed to have evolved.The scientists said the research does not support the biblical story of a single man and woman in a Garden of Eden. "This result does not mean there was ever only one male but rather that a unique mutation occurred, resulting in one son who defined the new (genetic) line and whose male descendants eventually reached a majority in Africa. Some offspring of this lineage left Africa to populate the entire globe," Oefner said.16. The Khoisan people of South Africa are studied by scientists because ________.(A) they have had a long hunter-gatherer tradition(B) their ancestors built the first Garden of Eden(C) their descendants quickly spread to the whole world(D) they have possessed the earliest genetic traits of man17. The expression "minute mutations" (para. 5) can be paraphrased as "_______."(A) immediate occurrences (B) small alterations(C) great transformations (D) slow evolution18. Which of the following is NOT true about the expression "African Garden of Eden"?(A) It is a geographical location in South Africa.(B) It is coined from the Holy Bible.(C) It is used to symbolize the birthplace of the human race.(D) It is said to be the place where the legendary Adam and Eve lived.19. According to Dr. Peter Oefner, the Khoisan people _______.(A) have never left their land in South Africa(B) have only one single man and woman as their earliest ancestors(C) have a unique genetic line in their male descendants(D) can find their history reflected in the Bible20. Which of the following best expresses the main idea of the passage?(A) The Khoisan people are one of the earliest and advanced civilizations in the world.(B) The biblical account of human history is based on the ethnic groups in South Africa.(C) The investigation of genetic traits reveals that the earliest human ancestors are fromSouth Africa.(D) Homo erectus and Homo sapiens are both the ancestors of the human race.SECTION 3: TRANSLATION TEST (30 minutes)Directions: Translate the following passage into Chinese and write your version in the corresponding space in your ANSWER BOOKLET.The three sacred words "duty", "honor" and "country" reverently dictate what you should be, what you can be, and what you will be. They urge you to build courage when courage seems to fail, to regain faith when there seems to be little cause for faith, to create hope when hope becomes abandoned. I am convinced that these words teach you to be proud and unbending in honest failure, but humble and gentle in success; not to substitute words for action; not to seek the path of comfort, but to face the stress of difficulty and challenge; to learn to stand up in the storm, but to have compassion on those who fall; to have a heart that is clean, a goal that is high; to learn to laugh, yet never forget how to weep; to reach into the future, yet never neglect the past; to be serious, yet never take yourself too seriously; to be modest so that you will remember the simplicity of true greatness, the open mind of true wisdom, the meekness of true strength. In short, these words teach you to be both a militant fighter and a gentleman.SECTION 4: LISTENING TEST (30 minutes)Part A: Note-taking and Gap-fillingDirections: In this part of the test you will hear a short talk.
