Reading Comprehension (40 points)Directions:There are 4 reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there arefour choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the bestchoice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with asingle line through the center.Passage OneNormally a student must attend a certain number of courses in order to graduate, and each course which he attends gives him a credit which he may count towards a degree. In many American universities the total work for a degree consists of 36 courses, each lasting for one semester. A typical course consists of three classes perweek for fifteen weeks. While attending a university a student will probably attend 4 or 5 courses during each semester. Normally a student would expect to take 4 years attending 2 semesters each year. It is possible to spread the period of work for the degree over a longer period. It is also possible for a student to move between one university and another during the degree course, though this is not in fact done as a regular practice.For every course that he follows a student is given a grade, which is recorded, and the record is available for the student to show to prospective employers. All this imposes pressure from the strain of work, but in spite of this some students still find timefor great activity in student affairs. Elections to positions in student organizations arouse much enthusiasm. The effective work of maintaining discipline is usually performed by students who advise the academic authorities. Any student who is thought to have broken the rules, for example by cheating, has to appear before a student court. With enormous numbers of students, the operation of the system does involve a certain amount of activity.A student who has held one of these positions of authority is much respected and it will be of benefit to him or her later in his or her career.21. Normally a student would at least attend __________ classes each week.A. 10B. 12C. 15D. 2022. According to the first paragraph an American student is allowed _______.A.to live in a different universityB.to take a particular course in a different universityC.to live at home and drive to classesD.to get two degrees from two different universities23. American university students are usually under pressure of work because______.A.their academic performance will affect their future careers.B.they are heavily involved in student affairsC.they have to observe university disciplineD.they want to run for positions of authority in student organizations24. Some students are enthusiastic for positions in student organizations probablybecause_____.A.they hate the constant pressure and strain of their studyB.they will then be able to stay longer in the universityC.such positions help them get better jobsD.such positions are usually well paid25. The student organizations seem to be effective in ___________.A.dealing with the academic affairs of the universityB.ensuring that the students observe university regulationsC.evaluating students, performance by bring them before a courtD.keeping up the students, enthusiasm for social activities.Passage TwoIt’s very interesting to note where the debate about diversity(多样化) is taking place. It is taking place primarily in political circles. Here at the College Fund, we have a lot of contact with top corporate leaders; none of them is talking about getting rid of those instruments that produce diversity. In fact, they say that if their companies are to compete in the global village and in the global market place, diversity is an imperative. They also say that the need for talented, skilled Americans means we have to expand the pool of potential employees. And in looking at where birth rates are growing and at where the population is shifting, corporate America understands that expanding the pool means promoting policies that help provide skills to more minorities, more women, and more immigrants. Corporate leaders know that if that doesn’t occur in our society, they will not have the engineers, the scientists, the lawyers, or the businessmanagers they will need.Like wise, I don't hear people in the academy saying, ―Let’s go backward. Let’s go back to the good old days, when we had a meritocracy(不拘一格选人才)‖ (which was never true-we never had a meritocracy, although we’ve come closer to it in the last 30 years). I recently visited a great little college in New York where the campus has doubled its minority population in the last six years. I talked with an African American who has been a professor there for a long time, and she remembers that when she first joined the community, there were fewer than a handful of minorities on campus. Now, all of us feel the university is better because of the diversity. So where we hear this debate is primarily in political circles and in the media –not in corporate board rooms or on college campuses.36. The word ―imperative‖ (Para.1) most probably refers to something___________.A. superficialB. remarkableC. debatableD. essential37. Which of the following groups of people still differ in their views on diversity?A. MinoritiesB. Politicians.C. ProfessorsD. Managers.38. High corporate leaders seem to be in favor of promoting diversity so as to____________.A. lower the rate of unemploymentB. win equal political rights for minoritiesC. be competitive in the world marketD. satisfy the demands of a growing population39. It can be inferred from the passage that _____________.A. meritocracy can never be realized without diversityB. American political circles will not accept diversityC. it is unlikely that diversity will occur in the U.S. mediaD. minorities can only enter the fields where no debate is heard about diversity40. According to the passage diversity can be achieved in American society by___________.A. expanding the pool of potential employeesB. promoting policies that provide skills to employeesC. training more engineers, scientists, lawyers and business managers.D. providing education for all regardless of race or sexPassage ThreeDrug-taking is widespread. It is apparently very easy for sportsman and sportswomen to get drugs. The strangest thing about the use of drugs in sports is the fact that there is no real evidence to show that they improve athletic performance. And they can cause liver cancer, and have led to the death of two world-class athletes.Now taking urine samples of athletes is practiced worldwide, yet drug-taking remains a serious problem. To fight it, the Sports Council in Britain has started in-and-out-of-competition of drug testing program. Before, competitions were tested at random, which means a few people were selected without knowing beforehand. This was mostly done during matches. Now, athletescan be tested when they train as well. This way the authorities will be able to catch more drug-takers, who will never know beforehand when they have to take a drugs test.Many people think of drugs as something only found in chemicals. But even cough medicine, alcohol and caffeine which is found in coffee, are considered drugs if a test shows an athlete has taken too much. Of course, an athlete is allowed to drink coffee. For some drugs, a certain amount is permitted. For other drugs, such as steroids( 类固醇), any amount in urine samples leads to a ban.41. It is implied in the passage that _________.A. drugs are losing their market in the sports circleB. fewer and fewer athletes are taking drugs nowadaysC. sportsmen lose in competition as a result of drug-takingD. drugs don’t seem to make athletes perform better in competition42. What is new about the drug testing program as compared with the previouspractice?A. Urine samples are taken and tested.B. Athletes are selected and tested during and after the competition.C. More athletes are selected to be tested during matches.D. Athletes are tested in training as well as during competition for testing43. To make the result of the drug test negative, sportsmen must _________beforetaking a test.A. avoid being selected for testingB. not take much medicineC. give up drinkingD. limit intake of liquids also considered to be drugs44. What happens when steroids is found in urine samples?A. Competitors are banned from participating in sports events.B. Competitors are expelled from their teams.C. Drinks containing the drug are removed from the market.D. Drinks containing the drug are destroyed.45. According to the passage, the main reason why drug-taking is not permitted forsportsmen is that _________.A. it does harm to their healthB. it makes them make progress too rapidlyC. they cheat the audience without showing their real skillsD. they are naturally strong enough themselvesPassage FourNative Americans from the southeastern part of what is now the United States believed that the universe in which they lived was made up of three separate, but related, worlds: the Upper World, the Lower World, and This World. In the last there lived humans, most animals, and all plants. This world, a round island resting on the surface of waters, was suspended from the sky by four cords attached to the island at the four cardinal points of the compass. Lines drawn to connect the opposite points of the compass, from north to south and from east to west, intersected This World to divide it into four wedge-shaped segments. Thus a symbolic representation of the human world was a cross within a circle, the cross representing the intersecting lines and the circle—the shape of This World.Each segment of This World was identified by its own color.According to Cherokee doctrine, east was associated with the color red because it was the direction of the Sun, the greatest deity of all. Red was also the color of fire, believed to be directly connected with she Sun, with blood, and therefore with life. Finally, red was the color of success. The west was the Moon segment, it provided no warmth and was not life-giving as the Sun was. So its color was black. North was the direction of cold, and so its color was blue (sometimes purple), and it represented trouble and defeat. South was the direction of warmth; its color, white, was associated with peace and happiness.The sou theastern Native Americans’ universe was one in which opposites were constantly at war with each other, red against black, blue against white. This world hovered(徘徊)somewhere between the perfect order and predictability of the UpperWorld and the total disorder and instability of the Lower World. The goal was to find some kind of halfway path, or balance, between those other worlds.46. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A.One Civilization’s View of the UniverseB.The Changing of the Seasons in the SoutheastC.The Painting of Territorial Maps by Southeaster Native AmericansD.The War Between Two Native American Civilizations47. The author implies that This World was located____.A. inside the Upper WorldB. inside the Lower WorldC. above the Upper WorldD. between the Upper World and the Lower World48. According to the passage southeastern Native Americanscompared This Worldto the ____.A. WatersB. skyC. an animalD. an island49. According to the passage, southeastern native Americans associated red with all of the following EXCEPT _____.A. fireB. troubleC. bloodD. success50. The shape of This World is closest to that of which of the following?A. A circle.B. A triangle.C. A Square.D. A cube.III.

Cloze (10 points)Directions:Decide which of the choices given below would correctly complete the passage if inserted in the corresponding blanks. Select the correctchoice for each blank.Most parents, I suppose, have had the experience of reading a bedtime story to their children. And they must have 81 how difficult it is to write a 82 children’s book. Either the author has aimed too 83 , so that the children can’t follow what is in his (or more often, her) story, 84 the story seems to be talking to the readers.The best c hildren’s books are 85 very difficult nor very simple, and satisfy both the 86 who hears the story and the adult who 87 it.Unfortunately, there are in fact 88 books like this, 89 the problem of finding the right bedtime story is not 90 to solve.This may be why many of books regarded as 91 of children’s literature were in fact written for 92 . Alice’s Adventure in Wonderland is perhaps the most 93 of this.Children, left for themselves, often 94 the worst possible interest in literature. Just leave a child in bookshop or 95 and he will 96 willinglychoose the books written in an imaginative way, or have a look at most children’s comics, full of the stories and jokes which are the 97 of teachers and right-thinking parents.Perhaps we parents should stop trying to brainwash children into 98 our taste in literature. After all children and adults are so99 that we parents should not expect that they will enjoy the 100 books. So I suppose we’ll just have to compromise over that bedtime story.81.

Whenever we turn on the television, listen to the radio or open a newspaper or a magazine, we are bombarded with advertisements. They invite us to try a new type of orange juice, wear X-brand jeans or watch the latest film. They beg us to notice the difference and discover the advantages. They exist to make us want what they are selling. Strangely, the more we are exposed to advertising, the less we notice it. We get so used to seeing advertisements everywhere that they become largely invisible, as if they were another part of our everyday lives. But does that mean that we are no longer affected by them? One advertising expert believes that the special power of advertising lies in the fact that we do not pay much attention to it. Dr. Krugman, who was head of research for a major advertising company for many years, says that the less we notice ads, the more we are affected by them. Dr. Krugman believes that when we stop noticing advertisements, we lower our defenses, allowing the messages of the advertisements to be taken in and stored, ready to be triggered into action at the right moment. Hesays that the effects of advertising on the individual are small, but over a period of time they have a powerful effect on the masses. A market analyst says that all advertising, no matter how innocent, is misleading in some way. When asked about the power of advertising in research surveys, most people agree that it works, but not on them. Almost everyone believes that they have complete control over how thousands of ads they see every day affect them.51．Ads exist to make people want______.A．a new type of orange juiceB．X-brand jeansC．to watch the latest filmD．what they advertise正确答案：D52．The more we see ads, the less we______.A．pay attention to themB．feel tired of themC．neglect themD．put up with them正确答案：A53．Although we may think we are not affected by them, Dr. Krugman believes that advertisements affect______.A．all of usB．most of usC．some of usD．a few individuals正确答案：A54．Dr. Krugman believes that when we stop noticing ads, we begin to______.A．like themB．be on guard against themC．accept themD．dislike them正确答案：C55．When asked about the power of ads, most people agree that ads are ineffective on______.A．individualsB．massesC．othersD．them正确答案：DLike most people, I was brought up to look upon life as a process of getting. It was not until in my late thirties that I made this important discovery: giving away makes life so much more exciting. You need not worry if you lack money. This is how I experimented with giving away. If an idea for improving the window display of a neighborhood store flashes to me, I step in and make the suggestion to the storekeeper. One discovery I made about giving away is that it is almost impossible to give away anything in this world without getting something back, though the return often comes in an unexpected form. One Sunday morning the local post office delivered an important special delivery letter to my home, though it was addressed to me at my office. I wrote the postmaster a note of appreciation. More than a year later I needed a post office box for a new business I was starting. I was told at the window that there were no boxes left, and that my name would have to go on a long waiting list. As I was about to leave, the postmaster appeared in the doorway. He had overheard our conversation. “ Wasn’t it you that wrote us that letter a year ago about delivering a special delivery to your home? “ I said yes. “Well, you certainly are going to have a box in this post office if we have to make one for you.

Eating breakfast at the start of the day, we have all been told, is as necessary as putting gasoline in the family car before starting a trip. But for many people the thought of food first thing in the morning is by no means a pleasure. So despite all the efforts, they still take no breakfast. Between 1977 and 1983, the latest years for which figures are available, the number of people who didn’t have breakfast increased by 33 percent—from 8. 8 million to 11.7 million—according to the Chicago-based Market Research Corporation of America. For those who feel pain or guilt about not eating breakfast, however, there is some good news. Several studies in the last few years indicate that, for adults especially, there may be nothing wrong with omitting breakfast. “Going without breakfast does not affect performance. “said Arnold E. Bender, the former professor of nutrition at Queen Elizabeth College in London, “nor does giving people breakfast improve performance. “Scientific evidence linking breakfast to better health or better performance is surprisingly inadequate, and most of the recent work involves children, not adults. “The literature, “ says one researcher, Dr. Ernesto Pollitt at the University of Texas, “is poor”.61．The passage is mainly concerned with______.A．a study of the Chicago-based Market Research CorporationB．one of life’s essentialsC．latest figures of people who don’t eat breakfastD．breakfast and human health正确答案：D62．For those who do not take breakfast, the good news is that______.A．several studies have been done in the past few yearsB．not eating breakfast does no harm to one’s healthC．adults have especially made studies in this fieldD．eating little in the morning may be good for health正确答案：B63．In the third paragraph, “nor does giving people breakfast improve performance. “ means______.A．anyone without breakfast does improve his performanceB．not giving people breakfast improves performanceC．people having breakfast do improve their performanceD．having breakfast does not improve performance, either正确答案：D64．The word “literature” in the last sentence refers to______.A．stories about breakfastB．written works on a particular subjectC．any printed materialsD．the modern novels of American正确答案：A65．What is implied but not stated by the author is that______.A．not eating breakfast might affect the health of childrenB．breakfast does not affect performanceC．Professor Bender once taught college courses in nutrition in LondonD．People who don’t eat breakfast have increased正确答案：AEach day, computers help millions of people do their jobs more effectively. For example, they can help managers decide on a future course of action, and they can then help with the follow-up checks on performance to see if planned goals are being achieved. By using accurate and timely facts supplied by data base management software, a manager can do a better job of identifying problems and opportunities. And managers may not need to spend as much time in controlling when a computercan respond with a triggered report if actual performance varies from what was planned. The time saved in controlling may allow managers to give more attention to employees’ concerns, and this, in turn, may result in improved morale (士气). But employment benefits certainly aren’t restricted to managers. Healthcare researchers and other scientists also use computers to conduct research into complex problem areas that couldn’t otherwise be studied. Lawyers use online legal data banks to locate precedent (先前的) cases in order to serve clients better. Salespeople can receive more timely information about products in stock, can promise customers that their sales orders will be handled promptly, and can thus improve their sales performance because of the computer system. And the job duties of some office and factory workers have changed from routine, repetitive operations to more varied and appealing tasks through computer usage. For example, office workers who understand text processing, computing, and data communication usually have vital roles and are given critical office functions to perform.66．Which of the following examples shows the controlling function of a computer?A．Helping managers decide on a future course of action.B．Helping managers check if planned goals are reached.C．Helping managers save time in writing a report.D．Helping managers design a spreadsheet package.正确答案：B67．Employees may have better morale if______.A．they have more time to restB．a computer is used in their workC．the manager spends more time with themD．the managers pay more attention to them正确答案：D68．Which of the following is the most essential to a successful businessman?A．He can use computers in his work.B．He can handle orders promptly.C．He can get timely information.D．He can improve his sales performance.正确答案：C69．The office duties used to be______.A．difficultB．boringD．appealing正确答案：B70．Which of the following is the best suggested title?A．Computers and ManagementB．Computer FunctionsC．Computer and Work PerformanceD．Employment Benefits by a Computer正确答案：DClozeWe got up early this morning and【71】a long walk after breakfast.

Reading Comprehension (50分)Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D .You should decide on the best choice and write the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Questions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage:Passage OneLearning how to write is like taking a course in public speaking. I’d ask whether anyone in class had ever taken such a course. Invariably a few hands would go up.“What did you learn in that course?” I’d ask.“Well, the main thing was learning how to face an audienc e… not to be inhibited (拘谨；抑制) …not to be nervous…”Exactly, when you take a course in public speaking nowadays, you don’t hear much about gr-ammar and vocabulary. Instead, you’re taught how not to be afraid or embarrassed, how to speak without a prepared script, how to reach out to the live audience before you. Public speaking is a matter of overcoming your longstanding nervous inhibitions.It is the same in writing. (81) The point of the whole thing is to overcome your nervous inhibi-tions, to break through the invisible barrier that separates you from the person who’ll read what y-ou wrote. You must learn to sit in front of your typewriter or dictating machine and reach out to the person at the other end of the line.Of course, in public speaking, with the audience right in front of you, the problem is easier. You can look at them and talk to them directly. In writing, you’re alone. It needs an effort of your experience or imagination to take hold of that other person and talk to him or her. But that effort is necessary or at least it’s necessary until you’ve reached the point when you quite naturally and unconsciously “talk on paper.”41. The main task of a public speech course is to ________.A.teach spoken-language experienceB.teach how to use gestures to assist speechC.help the learners overcome nervousnessD.teach how to control the volume of the speaker’s voice42. Learning how to write is similar to learning how to speak in public in that a writer should ___________.A.overcome his or her nervousness in the first placeB.watch his or her grammar and vocabularyC.collect a lot of data before writingD.take hold of a reader and talk to him or her before writing43. In the author’s opinion_________.A.writing needs more experience and skill than public speakingB.both writing and public speaking require effortC.writing is imaginativeD.public speaking is not so natural as writing44. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A.Not many students feel the need to learn public speakingB.Training is necessary before you can speak with scriptC.In public speaking, the audience are more nervous than the speakerD.Writing is just like making a public speech on paper45. This selection is mainly about learning how to _______.A.make a public speechB.talk on paperC.behave properly in public speechD.express strong emotion on paperQuestions 46 to 50 based on the following passage:Passage TwoIn the modern technological world the sea offers many resources to help mankind survive.(82)Resources on land are beginning to grow less. The sea, however, still offers hope to supply many of man’s needs.The riches of the sea yet to be developed by man’s technology are impressive. Oil and gas explorations have existed for nearly thirty years. Valuable amounts of minerals such as iron, nickel and copper and so on exist on the ocean floor, ready to be mined.Fish farming promises to be a good way to produce large quantities of food. The culture of fish and shellfish is an ancient skill practiced in the past mainly by Oriental peoples.Besides oil and gas, the sea may offer new sources of energy. Experts believe that the warm temperature of the ocean can be used in a way similar to the steam in a steamship. Ocean currents and waves offer possible use as a source of energy such as hydroelectric power.Technology is enabling man to explore ever deeper under the sea. The new undersea technology is providing divers with diving suits and undersea chambers that are kept at sea level pressure. The development of strong, new materials has made this possible.The technology to harvest the sea continues to improve. By the year 2000, experts believe that the problems to exploit the food, minerals, and energy sources of the sea will be largely solved.46. What is the best title for the passage?A. Needs of .ManB. Sources of..EnergyC. Sea HarvestD. Sea Exploring Technology47. According to the author, technology for exploring the sea is important because______.A.man cannot travel farther into spaceB.resources on land are running shortC.it’s a lot of fun diving into the seaD.ancient people used to explore the sea48. Why does the author mention a steamship?A.To indicate that it is warmer in the ocean than on land.B.To show that a steamship is better than other kinds of ship.C.To argue that man should use steamships more than other means of transportation.D.To illustrate that man can make use of sources of energy from the sea.49. It can be inferred from the passage that_______.A.man hasn’t completely developed the riches of the seaB.technology for exploring the sea has been solvedC.planting rice in the sea will be made possible in a short timeD.in the near future man can live on the ocean floor50. The word “exploit” in the last paragraph could best be replaced by________.A. evaluateB. developC. gatherD. scatterQuestions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage:Passage ThreeYour passport is your official identification as an American citizen. In American, most people never consider obtaining a passport unless they are planning a trip out of the country. In Europe, where travel from one country to another is much more common, almost everyone carries a pass- port. A passport is final proof of identity in almost every county in the world.In 1979 almost 15 million American held passports. Most of these passports were obtained to travel outside the country because, except for a few Western nations, passports are required to enter every country. And if you travel abroad, you must have a valid passport to return the country.When traveling abroad, you will need a passport for identification when exchanging dollars for francs or marks or other foreign currency. You may also need your passport to use a credit card, buy an airplane ticket or check into a hotel. As a passport is an official U.S. document, it is valuable as identification in any emergency overseas, such as floods, fires or war.Don’t confuse passports and visas. (83)Whereas a passport is issued by a country to its citizens, a visa is official permission to visit a country granted by the government of that country. For some years, many countries were dropping their visa requirements, but that trend has reversed. They may be obtained from the embassy of the country you wish to visit.Passport applications are available at passport agency offices in large cities like Boston, New York, or Chicago. In smaller cities, applications are available at post offices and at federal courts. To get your first passport, you must submit the application in person, along with a birth certificate and two pictures.51. The main purpose of this passage is to___________.A.discuss traveling in other countries　B.distinguish between passports and visasC.discuss the financial uses of a passport　D.provide information about passports52. Passports are beneficial for___________.A. exchanging currencyB. using a credit cardC. checking into hotelsD. all of the above53. We can conclude from the passage that_________.A.passports are more important than visasB.visas and passports are the same thingC.foreign government issue visas instead of passportsD.visas are required to obtain passports54. The passage suggests that_________.A.Most people don’t realize how important passports areB.passports aren’t important once you are in the country you’ve chosen to visit　C.passports are simple to obtain through the mailD.passports are obtained at the embassy once you enter a country.55. As used in this passage, the word “valid” in the second paragraph means__________.A. foreignB. legalC. monetaryD. illegalQuestions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage:Passage FourI hear many parents complaining that their teenage children are rebelling. I wish it were so. At young age you ought to be growing away from you parents. You should be learning to stand on your own two feet.But take a good look at the present rebellion. It seems that teenagers are a1l taking the same way of snowing that they disagree with their parents. Instead of striking out on their own，most of them are clutching at one another’s hands for reassurance.They say they want to dress as they please，but all of them wear the same clothes. They set off in new directions in music，but all of them end up huddled round listening to the same record. Their reason for thinking or acting in this and that way is that the crowd is doing it.(84)It has become harder and harder for a teenager to stand up against the popularity wave and go his or her own way. These days every teenager can 1earn from the advertisements what a teenager should have and be. And many of today’s parents have come to award high marks for the popularity of their children. (85)All this adds up to a great barrier for the teenager who wants to find his or her own path.But the barrier is worth climbing over. The path is worth following. You may want to listen to classical music instead of going to a party. You may want to collect rocks when everyone else is collecting records. You may have some thoughts that you don’t care to share at once with your classmates. Well，go to it. Find yourself. Be yourself. Popularity will come-will the people who respect you for who you are. That’s the only kind of popularity that really counts.56. The author’s purpose in writing this passage is to tell _____.A.readers how to be popular with people aroundB.teenagers how to learn to decide things for themselvesC.parents how to control and guide their childrenD.people how to understand and respect each other57. According to the author, many teenagers think they are brave enough to act on their own, but, in fact, most of them _____.A.have much difficulty understanding each otherck confidenceC.dare not cope with problems single-handedD.are very much afraid of getting lost58. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage？A.There is no popularity that really counts.B. What many parents are doing is in fact hindering their children from finding their ownpaths.C.It is not necessarily bad for a teenager to disagree with his or her classmates.D.Most teenagers claim that they want to do what they like to, but they are actually doingthe same.59. The author thinks of advertisements as _____.A. convincingB. influentialC. instructiveD. authoritative60. During the teenage years, one should learn to _____.A.differ from others in as many ways as possibleB.get into the right season and become popularC.find one’s real selfD.rebel against parents and the popularity wave得分评卷人III.

You should choose the ONE that best fits into the passage.

This is particularly true 61 women, and even more 62 if the inquirer is a man. However, it is 63 to ask children their age, and some adults may not mind 64 either. In fact, some elderly people are quite happy to 65 their age, especially if they feel they look young 66 their age. Nevertheless, it is not very wise to ask a(n) 67 question like “How old are you?” if elderly people want to talk about their age, and perhaps receive a compliment on how young they look, they may easily 68 the topic themselves, and ask the other person to 69 how old they are. 70 such a situation, it is quite acceptable to discuss age 71.They normally expect to be complimented on their youthfulness, though rather than 72 that they look very old! 73 westerners do not usually ask people directly how old they are, this does not 74 that they are not interested to know how old other people are. They may ask 75 for the information, 76 they may try to 77 the topic indirectly.

Sound travels at the rate of about one-fifth of a mile per second. If the hill is eleven hundred feet away, it takes two seconds for the sound to travel to the hill and back. Thus, by timing the interval between a sound and its reflection (the echo) , you can estimate the distance to an obstruction. During World War II the British used a practical application of this principle to detect German planes on their way to bomb London long before the enemy was near the target. They used radio waves instead of sound waves, since radio waves can penetrate fog and clouds. The outnumbered Royal Air Force(RAF) always seemed to the puzzled Germans to by lying in wait at the right time and never to be surprised. It was radio echoes more than anything else that won the Battle of Britain. Since the radio waves were used to tell the direction in which to send the RAF planes and the distance to send them (their rage of flight, in other words) , the device was called “radio directing and ranging” , and from the initials the word “radar” was coined.1．Sound waves reflected from a hill can be used to estimate the______.A．height of the hillB．speed of soundC．distance to the hillD．intensity of sound正确答案：C解析：A．山的高度。

People use them on trains and airplanes, in airports and hotels. These computers connect people to their workplace. In the United States today, they also connect students to their classmates.Westlake College in Virginia will start a laptop computer program that allows students to do schoolwork anywhere they want. Within five years, each of the 1500 students at the college will get a laptop. Westlake College has started a large computer program for its students. With laptop computers, the students will be connected not only to the Internet but also to libraries. In addition, they can use e¨Cmail to ¡°speak¡± with their teachers, their classmates, and their families. However, the most important part of the laptop computer program is that students will be able to use computers without going to computer labs. They can work with it at home, in a fast¨Cfood restaurant or under the trees--anywhere at all.At Westlake College, more than 90 percent of the students use computers, either desktop £¨Ì¨Ê½£©or laptop, but the laptop users can work and study in any of the places. Just as one of the Westlake teachers said, ¡°Here we are in the middle of the city and we¡¯re giving students a window on the world.¡±26.

We can learn from the passage that __________.A) laptop computers are difficult to useB) laptop computers are more powerful than desktopC) Westlake College is a very rich universityD) Westlake College¡¯s students will mainly use laptopsPassage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage. Unemployment may be one of the biggest problems our people as well as our government are faced with today. According to an official report, in one big city alone, since 1986, nearly 1,000,000 adult workers have lost their jobs because of factory closings and cutbacks---either temporarily(ÔÝʱ) laid off or permanently forced to retire.Many people, especially the policy makers, believe that forcing adult workers, those who are over 45, to retire is an effective means to relieve the tension of unemployment, for it can provide more job opportunities for the jobless young. But they fail to notice that forcing a person who is still able to work and has a family to support to retire brings serious financial problems as well as emotional and physical ones. They also fail to realize that actually, workers aged 45-60 tend to be more stable, more skillful and more experienced than workers of any other ages, that to some extent this age is the prime time for one¡¯s productivity and creativity. To force them to retire is a huge waste of the nation¡¯s best resources. On the contrary, if we turn our attention to the other end of the age line, a more effective way might emerge. Today, only 3% of school-leavers are allowed to go to college, leaving the majority of the young people under 18 without adequate preparation to join the labor force. If, however, more of them are able to attend college and begin full-time employment at a later age, more job opportunities will be created.Most importantly, we should not be satisfied merely to solve the problem of unemployment, but rather, we should improve the quality of the work force at the same time-by keeping the skilled adults and accepting the well-educated young.31. Forcing middle-aged persons to retire might cause______.A) the loss of valuable resources C) elderly people to feel upsetB) shortage of the work force D) families to be unstable32. The word ¡°prime¡± in Line 8 Para 2 may be replaced by ¡°______¡±.A) first B) early C) major D)spring33. Which of the following suggestions did the writer make? _______.A) Young people should work harder in order to go to college.B) Colleges should be open to more high school-leavers.C) The old should be allowed to work as long as they want to.D) Policy makers should create more job opportunities.34. What is the writer¡¯s attitude towards the described employment situation? _____.A) Concerned B) Hopeless C) Doubted D) Satisfied35. The best title for this passage might be ¡°_______¡±.A) Are the Policy Makers Wise?B) Should People Be Forced to Retire?C) Why Don¡¯t We Educate the Young?D) How to Solve Unemployment Problem?Passage FourQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.What is exactly 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.¡± In 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?A scientific study of lying shows women are better liars (˵»ÑÕß) 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 terrible. However, this is only one side of the story. Other researches show 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 man hopes to profit or gain in some way.Research has also been done into the way people¡¯s behavior changes in a number of small, unimportant ways when they lie. It has been found that if they are sitting down at the same 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.¡±36. This passage tells us that telling lies is ___________.A) often necessary in order to avoid defeated in an argumentB) sometimes necessary if you don¡¯t want to hurt someone elseC) quite bad because people ought to be honestD) usually bad if you are talking with a good friend37. The writer says that women are better liars than men because __________.A) their lies are easier to be accepted by menB) men are not as skillful as women in telling liesC) they often have a good intention in telling liesD) women tell fewer lies than men do38. A ¡°white lie¡± means a lie that ___________.A) is told with a good intentionB) is quite unbelievableC) is almost true to the factD) often has a bad purpose39. Politicians and businessmen are supposed to be skilled at telling such lies as____.A) may keep better relations with othersB) seem to be strange but interestingC) can make others believe it to be trueD) will allow them to gain some benefits40. It can be concluded from the passage that _________.A) there is a simple way of finding out if someone is lyingB) people¡¯s behaviors sometimes can tell us they are lyingC) people often repeat what they are saying when telling a lieD) in some situations women are most likely to tell a liePart ¢ó Vocabulary and Structure (20 minutes)Directions: There are 30 incomplete sentences in this part.

Geographers compare and contrast various places on the earth. But they also go beyond the individual places and consider the earth as a 36 . The word geography 37 from two Greek words, ge, the Greek word for "earth" and graphein, 38 means "to write." The English word geography means "to describe the earth." Some geography books focus on a small area like a town or city. Others deal with a state, a region, a nation, or an 39 continent. Many geography books deal with the whole earth. Another way to divide the study of 40 is to distinguish between physical geography and cultural geography. The former focuses on the natural world; the 41 starts with human beings and studies how human beings and their environment act upon each other. But when geography is considered as a single subject, 42 branch can neglect the other.A geographer might be described 43 one who observes, records, and explains the differences between places. If places 44 alike, there would be little need for geographers.We know, however, 45 no two places are exactly the same. Geography, then, is a point of view, a special way of looking at places.36.

What do you think?”“I don’t like it.”“Why not?”“I don’t know. There’s just something about the salesman that I don’t believe.”A few weeks after we had bought another car elsewhere, I happened to find out the history of the drop-head. It had been seriously damaged in a crash before we saw it, and cleverly done up. The car was, indeed, a very bad risk.Of all the things about women that their husbands do not understand, perhaps the biggest question is this: How can she often be right about things of which she has absolutely no knowledge? How does a woman’s intuition work? What is this strange power that tells her exactly when her husband isn’t working late on business, however honest he pretends to be? Is it guesswork, or some sixth sense that men don’t have?46. When was the “first time” the husband felt “really shaken” by his wife’s intuition?A. When they bought another car.B. When he learned about the history of the drop-head..C. When he realized she knew so much about cars.D. When his wife spoke about the salesman.47. What does a pe rson’s intuition refer to according to this passage?A. The ability to see through things.B. The ability to make a quick decision.C. The ability to pick out the best one among a number of things.D. The ability to know something by using one’s feelings.48. Why d idn’t the man know that the car was damaged at first?A. The damage was not serious at all.B. He was not careful enough.C. It had been skillfully repaired.D. The salesman only tried it out smoothly.49. What answer does the writer give to a woman’s intuition?A. It is simply a blind guess. C. It must be the sixth sense.B. It is a special kind of knowledge. D. He doesn’t really answer the question.50. From the passage we learn that the salesman was _____.A. cheatingB. honestC. helpfulD. kindPassage 2. (出自上海教育出版社《大学英语四级阅读200篇》第12篇) Social customs and ways of behaving change. Things which were considered impolite many years ago are now acceptable. Just a few years ago, it was considered impolite behavior for a man to smoke on street. No man who thought of himself by smoking when a lady was in a room.Customs also differ from country to country. Does a man walk on the left or the right of a woman in your country? Or doesn't it matter? Should you use both hands when you are eating? Should leave one in your lap or on the table?The Americans and the British not only speak the same language but also share a large number of social customs. For example, in both America and England people shake hands when they meet each other for the first time. Also, most Englishmen will open a door for a woman or offer their seat to a woman, and so will most Americans. Promptness is important both in England and in America. That is , if a dinner invitation is for 7 o'clock , the dinner guest either arrives close to that time or calls up to explain his delay.The important thing to remember about social customs is not to do anything that might make other people feel uncomfortable-----especially if they are your guests. When the food was served, one of the guests started to eat his peas with a knife. The other guests were amused or shocked, but the host calmly picked up his knife and began eating in the same way. It would have been bad manners to make his guest feel foolish or uncomfortable.51.If one has accepted a dinner invitation ,what should he do if he is to be late for the dinner?A. He should find an excuseB. He should ask for excuse.C. He should say sorryD. He should telephone to explain his being late.52."It would have been bad manners to make his guests feel foolish or uncomfortable." "Bad manners " means ________.A. uglyB. dishonestC. impoliteD. shameful53.which of the following do you think is the best title for this passage?A. Social CustomsB. Social LifeC. American and British CustomsD. Promptness Is Important54.According to the text, the best host_______.A. tries his best to make his guests feel comfortableB. makes his guests feel excitedC. tries to avoid being naughty to his guestsD. tries to avoid being foolish55.The author of this article may agree with which of the following?A. The guest who ate his peas with a knifeB. The other guests who were amused or shockedC. The host who picked up his knife and began eating in the same wayD. None of the abovePassage 3. [ 某些高中（比如杭州二中）和某些大学大一英语曾用过的阅读，难度不大]Cancer is among the top killer diseases in our society today and scientists have found out that stress helps to bring it on. It is worthwhile to consider, therefore, what are the causes of stress in our life, and whether we can do anything about it.Are we under-employed or overburdened with too many responsibilities?

[某些远程教育学校(比如四川大学网张教育学院)《大学英语3》考试题]Scientists have developed a slimming（减肥）drug that successfully suppresses appetite and results in a dramatic loss of weight without any apparent ill effects.The drug interferes with appetite control and prevents the build-up of fatty tissue. Laboratory mice given the drug lost up to a third of their total body weight.Within 20 minutes of being given the drug, called C75, the mice lost interest in eating and survived apparently content on just 10 per cent of the food they would normally eat.As a result, mice taking the drug lost 45 per cent more weight than mice fed the same amount of food, which compensate for the lack of food by becoming more lazy.Scientists, from the Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, said that C75 is likely to produce a similar effect on humans because appetite control in brain is thought to be based on the same chemical pathways as those in mice.“We are not claiming to have found a fabled（神奇的）weight-loss drug. What we have found, using C75, is a major pathway in the brain that body uses naturally in regulating appetite at least in mice,” said Francis Kuhajda, a pathologist and senior team member.61. The newly-developed drug _______.A. controls appetite and causes obvious weight lossB. reduces weight with some ill-effectC. interferes with appetite and builds up fatty tissueD. is still going through laboratory tests62. One of the reasons that the drug helps to lose weight is that _______.A. it helps mice sleep wellB. it keeps fatty tissue from growingC. it controls eatingD. it prevents overeating63. The mice taking C75 lose nearly half of their weight on the same amount of food become _______.A. more activeB. more lazyC. more aggressiveD. more noisy64. C75 is likely to produce weight-loss effect on humans because ______.A. mice and humans have similar brain structureB. human’s are likel y to be more lazy than miceC. human’s appetite is regulated through the same pathway as mice’sD. mice and human body use different pathways of appetite control65. What is the attitude of the scientists toward the slimming drug?A. indifferentB. excitingC. negativeD. confidentIV. (翻译英译汉前3题每题4分，第4题6分；汉译英前3题每题4分，第4题5分；共35分)66.

There are two basic types of owls: typical owls and barn owls. Owls live in almost every country of the world.Owls are mostly nocturnal, meaning they are awake at night. Owls are predators——they hunt the food that they eat. Owls hunt for mice and other small mammals, insects, and even fish. Owls are well adapted for hunting. Their soft feathers make their flight nearly silent. They have very good hearing, which helps them to hunt well in the darkness. The sharp hooked beaks and claws of the owl make it very easy to tear apart prey quickly, although owls also eat some prey whole.Owl eyes are unusual. Like most predators, both of the owl's eyes face front. The owl cannot move its eyes. Owls are far-sighted, which means they can see very well far away, but they can't see up close very well at all. Fortunately, their distant vision is what they use for hunting, and they can see far away even in low light.Owl can turn their heads 180 degrees. This makes it look like they might be able to turn their heads all the way around, but 180 degrees is all the owl needs to see what's going on all around him.(66) <u>Perhaps because of the owl's mysterious appearance, especially its round eyesand flexible neck, there are a lot of myths and superstitions (迷信) about owls.</u> Manycultures believe that owls are unusually wise. Because owls are nocturnal, some cultures associate owls with bad omens. However, owls probably do not interact with the fates of humans at all. In fact, some owl species may become extinct because of humans.46 Which of the following is NOT true about owls?（A）Owls eat small animals.（B）Owls are able to fly silently.（C）Owls have very poor vision.（D）Owls have flexible necks.47 What is the purpose of this story?（A）To entertain.（B）To persuade.（C）To instruct.（D）To inform.48 What would be a good title for this story?（A）Owls Are Interesting Animals（B）Owls Hunt At Night（C）Owls Can Fly Silently（D）Owls May Become Extinct49 From the context, we know a predator must be______.（A）a small feather that is fairly soft（B）an animal that hunts other animals（C）a small mouse coming out at night（D）a bird that flies without noise50 Why does it look like an owl can turn its head completely around?（A）They can turn their heads 1/2 of the way around.（B）They are able to turn their heads very quickly.（C）They have ears located on the sides of their heads.（D）They appear at night when people cannot see clearly.50 (67) <u>Whether at home or in a restaurant, meals in Brazil are sacred(神圣的) ; a time to eat, but also to share precious moments with family and friends.</u> Now, here's a Brazilian custom I miss enormously: a decent, sit-down, leisurely-paced lunch and/or dinner. To this day, I have to keep reminding myself, "what's the big hurry? " and I confess that one of the things I look forward to, when I go to Brazil, is the "family" meal.We have a joke that, if you see people sitting around a table in the US, having lunch for longer than 1/2 hour, it must be a business lunch. And also, sitting at your desk and eating lunch while you work is incomprehensible to most Brazilians, who leave their offices to eat with their colleagues and friends in restaurants and cafes. You guess, lunch is usuallya more substantial meal than in the U.S.(68) <u>For lunch and, depending on the location, also dinner, Brazilians have wonderful, inexpensive restaurants where home-style meals are sold by kilo.</u> You just pile the food on your plate and someone will weigh it for you. The same goes for desserts. You order drinks from your waiter and pay him at the end of your meal.Dinner is served much later than in the U. S. In the big cities, children are a common sight in restaurants at night, since Brazilians will take their kids out to dinner at all hours. As a result of this and the traditional Sunday lunches, Brazilian kids learn table manners at an early age. For many of my Brazilian friends, dinner is a lighter meal of bread, cheese and cold cuts. So expect either type of meal.51 In Brazil, people usually have meals______.（A）in a hurry at restaurants（B）in a leisurely manner（C）at their desk in the office（D）for less than 1/2 hour52 It can be inferred that in the U. S. ______.（A）business lunches last longer（B）lunch usually lasts for an hour（C）people eat quite a lot for lunch（D）people never eat while they work53 According to the passage, how are meals sold in some Brazilian restaurants?（A）Foods have very low but different prices.（B）All dinners pay the same amount of money.（C）Dinners pay according to the number of plates.（D）Meals are charged according to their weight.54 Why do Brazilian children learn table manners early?（A）Because their parents are very strict with them at table.（B）Because they eat out with adults when they are young.（C）Because they will have nothing to eat if they don't behave.（D）Because they learn all kinds of manners at an early age.55 What is the author's attitude towards the eating habits in Brazil?（A）The author doesn't think much of them.（B）The author likes those in the U. S. better.（C）The author appreciates them very much.（D）The author shows no emotions whatever.55 Happiness can be described as a positive mood and a pleasant state of mind. (69) <u>According to recent polls (民意测试) , sixty to seventy percent of Americans consider themselves to be moderately happy and one in twenty persons feels very unhappy.</u> Psychologists have been studying the factors that contribute to happiness.It is not predictable nor is a person in an apparently ideal situation necessarily happy. The ideal situation may have little to do with his actual feelings.A good education and income are usually considered necessary for happiness. Though both may contribute, they are only chief factors if the person is seriously undereducated or actually suffering from lack of physical needs.The rich are not likely to be happier than the middle-income group or even those with very low incomes. (70) <u>People with college educations are somewhat happier than those who did not graduate from high school, and it is believed that this is mainly because they have more opportunity to control their lives.</u> Yet people with a high income and a college education may be less happy than those with the same income and no college education.Poor health does not rule out happiness except for the severely disabled or those in pain. Learning to cope with a health problem can contribute to happiness. Those with a good sex life are happier in general, but those who have a loving, affectionate relationship are happier than those who rely on sex alone. Love has a higher correlation with happiness than any other factor.It should be noted that people quickly get used to what they have, and they are happiest when they feel they are increasing their level no matter where it stands at a given time.Children whose parents were happily married have happier childhoods yet they are not necessarily happier adults when they grow up.The best formula for happiness is to be able to develop the ability to tolerate frustration, to have a personal involvement and commitment, and to develop self-confidence andself-esteem.56 It can be inferred from the passage that______.（A）happiness is predictable（B）a person in an apparently ideal situation must be happy（C）happiness is not necessarily connected to one's situation in society（D）the rich are likely to be happier than the middle-income group57 People with college education______.（A）have less opportunity to control their lives（B）have more opportunity to control their lives（C）are not happier than those who have only an education at high school （D）are much happier than those who did not graduate from high school58 According to the article, happiness is greatly dependent upon______.（A）a happy childhood（B）great wealth（C）a college degree（D）a feeling that conditions are becoming for the better59 Which of the following is most likely to contribute to happiness?（A）Being exceptionally good-looking.（B）Having a good paying job.（C）Having a loving, affectionate relationship.（D）Meeting lots of people.60 Which of the following attitudes of feelings is most likely to be found in happy people?（A）Having self-esteem.（B）Being sure of keeping everything they already have.（C）Never being jealous.（D）Knowing how to be charming.60 Why do we laugh? For years scientists have asked themselves this question. No other animals laugh and smile, only human beings. So does laughter help us to survive in any way? The answer seems to be that smiling and laughter help us to relax, reducing tension and preventing illnesses which are caused by stress. Laughter really is the best medicine!But if you're unhappy, it can't do you any good to smile, can it? Not true. Apparently, the positive effects of smiling are just the same whether you feel like smiling or not. Scientists in California asked a group of actors to act five different feelings; happiness, sadness, anger, surprise and fear—just using their faces. Changes in their heart rate, blood pressure and temperature were written down. Most of the feelings they acted didn't cause changes, but when the actors smiled, their heart rate and their blood pressure went down. This happened to make them feel better.A sense of humor also helps to keep things in perspective. Interfering friends or a flat tire won't seem quite so bad if you can see the funny side. So if you find yourself in a stressful situation, try to imagine how it must seem to an outsider with a sense of humor and let yourself laugh. A psychologist writes, " If people try to show a positive reaction instead of a negative one, this will eventually become part of their personality. If you start to laugh, in time you will actually become happier.61 How do people differ from other animals?62 Who were asked to act different feelings in the experiment?63 What did the scientists in California prove?64 If we are annoyed by interfering friends or a flat tire, we can______.65 According to the author, ______ is an important quality in dealing with problems.四、Section ADirections: Translate the following English into Chinese.66 Perhaps because of the owl's mysterious appearance, especially its round eyes and flexible neck, there are a lot of myths and superstitions about owls.67 Whether at home or in a restaurant, meals in Brazil are sacred; a time to eat, but also to share precious moments with family and friends.68 For lunch and, depending on the location, also dinner, Brazilians have wonderful, inexpensive restaurants where home-style meals are sold by kilo.69 According to recent polls, sixty to seventy percent of Americans consider themselves to be moderately happy and one in twenty persons feels very unhappy.70 People with college educations are somewhat happier than those who did just graduate from high school, and it is believed that this is mainly because they have more opportunity to control their lives.五、Writing71 For this part you are to write a composition in no less than 120 words and you are required to base your composition entitled On the Low Employment Rate of College Graduates on the outlines given below in Chinese.

专转本大学英语第I卷（共100分）Part I Reading Comprehension （共40分）（18分）Passage one(12分钟）Under proper conditions, sound waves will be reflected from a hillside or other such obstruction. Sound travels at the rate of about one-fifth of mile per second. If the hill is eleven hundred feet away, it takes two seconds for the sound to travel o the hill and back. Thus, by timing the interval between a sound and its reflection (the echo), you can estimate the distance to an obstruction.During word war 2 the British used a practical application of this principle to detect German planes on their way to bomb London long before the enemy was near the target. They used radio waves instead of sound waves, since radio waves can penetrate fog and clouds. The outnumbered Royal Air Force (RAF) always seemed to the puzzled Germans to be lying in wait at the right time and never to be surprised. It was radio echoes more than anything else that won the Battle of Britain.Since the radio waves were used to tell the direction in which to send the RAF planes and the distance to send them (their range of flight, in other words), the device was called radio directing and ranging, and from the initials the word radar was coined.1. Sound waves reflected from a hill can be used to estimate the .A. heigt of the hillB. speed of soundC. distance to the hillD. intensite of sound2. Practical applications of this principles resulted in .A. New electronic instruments for planesB. A radio directing and ranging deviceC. New radio sets for RAF bombersD. An electronic detecting device3. Radar enabled the English to .A. Detect German planes on their way to LondonB. Direct the outnumbered RAF planes effectivelyC. Confuse German bomber pilotsD. Both A and B4.It can be inferred from the passage that1A. Light waves could be used in a device similar to radarB. Radar was a practical application of a well-known principleC. Radar greatly increased the effectiveness of the Royal Air ForceD. Sound waves are reflected from a hillside under all conditions5. The author of this passage probably intended to explainA. Exactly how radar worksB. Why the British used radio waves in their deviceC. How radar (work and device) came to beD. How radar helped the British win the Battle of BritainPassage Two accident（意外，事件）In general, the ancientRomans were a practical people. They cared less about philosophy and pure mathematics than did the Greeks. The Romans were the best of the ancient engineers and architects. They were brilliant students of Greek geometry and trigonometry (三角学) , and they applied their knowledge to the construction of fine bridges, roads, aqueducts (渠道) , and public buildings.They knew about the smelting of ironore, but they used the iron they produced mainly for spears, swords, and shields, rather than for building construction.While the Romans accomplished practical wonders, they did very little theoretical scientific thinking. Because of their frequent wars, many of their inventions were no more than improvements in the design of Greek weapons with which they were familiar.There are two reasons for the Romans neglect of philosophy and pure mathematics. First, they were apparently too busy conquering nearby nations and forming them into a rapidly growing empire to waste time on abstract thinking. Secondly, they were handicapped (妨碍) by the rigidity of their numerical system. (Try to multiply XI by LVII or to divide CXLIII by IX; it simply cannot be done with pencil and paper.) The Romans did all of their arithmetic on an abacus, the ancient counterpart of the modern computing machine. Their number system discouraged the study of pure mathematics.6. The author calls the Romans “practical” because theyA. Cared little about philosophyB. Applied their knowledge to constructionC. Saw the necessity for developing theoretical scienceD. Studied the past and learned from it7.The ancient Romans did not concern themselves with2A. Theoretical or abstract thoughtB. applied mathematicsC. StudyingD. either A or C8.In construction, the Romans made extensive use ofA. Iron oreB. geometry and trigonometryC. StudyingD. both B and C9.Many Romans inventions were based on Greek weapons because theA. Greeks had superior weaponsB romines were involved in frequent warsC. Romans were not familiar with many types of weaponsD. Greek proved himself or herself inspired inventor10.The author of this passage probably wanted to explain why AA. He considers the Romans a practical peopleB. Roman were involved in frequent warsC. Theoretical thinking is necessary fir the growth of a nationD. The Romans contributed little to philosophical thought11. the pew study was conducted in C (A)Passage ThreeProfessor Barry Wellman if University of Toronto in Canada has invented a term to describe the way many North Americans interacts these days. The term to have opposite meanings. How can we be individuals and be networked at the same time? You need other people for networks.Here is what Professor Wellman means. Before the invention of the Internet and e-mail, our social networks involved live interactions with relatives, neighbors, and colleagues at work. Some of the interaction was by phone, but it was still voice, person to person, in real time.A recent research study by the Pew Internet and Americans Life Project showed that for a lot of people, electronic interaction through the computer has replaced this person-to-person interaction. However, a lot of people interviewed for the Pew study say that’s a good thing. Why?In the past, many people were worried that the Internet isolated us and caused us to spend too much time in the imaginary world of the computer.

Swimming, hiking, boating, fishing-the days were not long enough to contain all of activities. There never seemed to be enough time to go to church, which disturbed some friends and relations. Accused of neglecting this part of our education, my father instituted a summer school for my brother and me. However, his summer course included ancient history, which Papa felt our schools neglected, and navigation, in which we first had a formal examination in the dining room, part of which consisted of tying several knots in a given time limit. Then we were each separately sent on what was grandly referred to as a cruise in my father’s 18-foot knockabout, spending the night on board, and loaded down, according to formally plot our course, using the tide table, even though our goal was an island I could see quite clearly across the water in the distance.416.

There are two basic types of owls: typical owls and barn owls. Owls live in almost every country of the world. Owls are mostly nocturnal, meaning they are awake at night. Owls are predators——they hunt the food that they eat. Owls hunt for mice and other small mammals, insects, and even fish. Owls are well adapted for hunting. Their soft feathers make their flight nearly silent. They have very good hearing, which helps them to hunt well in the darkness. The sharp hooked beaks and claws of the owl make it very easy to tear apart prey quickly, although owls also eat some prey whole. Owl eyes are unusual. Like most predators, both of the owl’s eyes face front. The owl cannot move its eyes. Owls are far-sighted, which means they can see very well far away, but they can’t see up close very well at all. Fortunately, their distant vision is what they use for hunting, and they can see far away even in low light. Owl can turn their heads 180 degrees. This makes it look like they might be able to turn their heads all the way around, but 180 degrees is all the owl needs to see what’s going on all around him. (66) Perhaps because of the owl’s mysterious appearance, especially its round eyes and flexible neck, there are a lot of myths and superstitions (迷信) about owls. Many cultures believe that owls are unusually wise. Because owls are nocturnal, some cultures associate owls with bad omens. However, owls probably do not interact with the fates of humans at all. In fact, some owl species may become extinct because of humans.46．Which of the following is NOT true about owls?A．Owls eat small animals.B．Owls are able to fly silently.C．Owls have very poor vision.D．Owls have flexible necks.正确答案：C47．What is the purpose of this story?A．To entertain.B．To persuade.C．To instruct.D．To inform.正确答案：D48．What would be a good title for this story?A．Owls Are Interesting AnimalsB．Owls Hunt At NightC．Owls Can Fly SilentlyD．Owls May Become Extinct正确答案：A49．From the context, we know a predator must be______.A．a small feather that is fairly softB．an animal that hunts other animalsC．a small mouse coming out at nightD．a bird that flies without noise正确答案：B50．Why does it look like an owl can turn its head completely around?A．They can turn their heads 1/2 of the way around.B．They are able to turn their heads very quickly.C．They have ears located on the sides of their heads.D．They appear at night when people cannot see clearly.正确答案：A(67) Whether at home or in a restaurant, meals in Brazil are sacred(神圣的) ; a time to eat, but also to share precious moments with family and friends. Now, here’s a Brazilian custom I miss enormously: a decent, sit-down, leisurely-paced lunch and/or dinner. To this day, I have to keep reminding myself, “what’s the big hurry? “ and I confess that one of the things I look forward to, when I go to Brazil, is the “family” meal. We have a joke that, if you see people sitting around a table in the US, having lunch for longer than 1/2 hour, it must be a business lunch. And also, sitting at your desk and eating lunch while you work is incomprehensible to most Brazilians, who leave their offices to eat with their colleagues and friends in restaurants and cafes. You guess, lunch is usually a more substantial meal than in the U.S. (68) For lunch and, depending on the location, also dinner, Brazilians have wonderful, inexpensive restaurants where home-style meals are sold by kilo. You just pile the food on your plate and someone will weigh it for you. The same goes for desserts. You order drinks from your waiter and pay him at the end of your meal. Dinner is served much later than in the U. S. In the big cities, children are a common sight in restaurants at night, since Brazilians will take their kids out to dinner at all hours. As a result of this and the traditional Sunday lunches, Brazilian kids learn table manners at an early age. For many of my Brazilian friends, dinner is a lighter meal of bread, cheese and cold cuts. So expect either type of meal.51．In Brazil, people usually have meals______.A．in a hurry at restaurantsB．in a leisurely mannerC．at their desk in the officeD．for less than 1/2 hour正确答案：B52．It can be inferred that in the U. S. ______.A．business lunches last longerB．lunch usually lasts for an hourC．people eat quite a lot for lunchD．people never eat while they work正确答案：A53．According to the passage, how are meals sold in some Brazilian restaurants?A．Foods have very low but different prices.B．All dinners pay the same amount of money.C．Dinners pay according to the number of plates.D．Meals are charged according to their weight.正确答案：D54．Why do Brazilian children learn table manners early?A．Because their parents are very strict with them at table.B．Because they eat out with adults when they are young.C．Because they will have nothing to eat if they don’t behave.D．Because they learn all kinds of manners at an early age.正确答案：B55．What is the author’s attitude towards the eating habits in Brazil?A．The author doesn’t think much of them.B．The author likes those in the U. S. better.C．The author appreciates them very much.D．The author shows no emotions whatever.正确答案：CHappiness can be described as a positive mood and a pleasant state of mind.(69) According to recent polls (民意测试) , sixty to seventy percent of Americans consider themselves to be moderately happy and one in twenty persons feels very unhappy. Psychologists have been studying the factors that contribute to happiness. It is not predictable nor is a person in an apparently ideal situation necessarily happy. The ideal situation may have little to do with his actual feelings. A good education and income are usually considered necessary for happiness. Though both may contribute, they are only chief factors if the person is seriously undereducated or actually suffering from lack of physical needs. The rich are not likely to be happier than the middle-income group or even those with very low incomes. (70)People with college educations are somewhat happier than those who did not graduate from high school, and it is believed that this is mainly because they have more opportunity to control their lives. Yet people with a high income and a college education may be less happy than those with the same income and no college education. Poor health does not rule out happiness except for the severely disabled or those in pain. Learning to cope with a health problem can contribute to happiness. Those with a good sex life are happier in general, but those who have a loving, affectionate relationship are happier than those who rely on sex alone. Love has a higher correlation with happiness than any other factor. It should be noted that people quickly get used to what they have, and they are happiest when they feel they are increasing their level no matter where it stands at a given time. Children whose parents were happily married have happier childhoods yet they are not necessarily happier adults when they grow up. The best formula for happiness is to be able to develop the ability to tolerate frustration, to have a personal involvement and commitment, and to develop self-confidence and self-esteem.56．It can be inferred from the passage that______.A．happiness is predictableB．a person in an apparently ideal situation must be happyC．happiness is not necessarily connected to one’s situation in societyD．the rich are likely to be happier than the middle-income group正确答案：C57．People with college education______.A．have less opportunity to control their livesB．have more opportunity to control their livesC．are not happier than those who have only an education at high schoolD．are much happier than those who did not graduate from high school正确答案：B58．According to the article, happiness is greatly dependent upon______.A．a happy childhoodB．great wealthC．a college degreeD．a feeling that conditions are becoming for the better正确答案：D59．Which of the following is most likely to contribute to happiness?A．Being exceptionally good-looking.B．Having a good paying job.C．Having a loving, affectionate relationship.D．Meeting lots of people.正确答案：C60．Which of the following attitudes of feelings is most likely to be found in happy people?A．Having self-esteem.B．Being sure of keeping everything they already have.C．Never being jealous.D．Knowing how to be charming.正确答案：AWhy do we laugh? For years scientists have asked themselves this question. No other animals laugh and smile, only human beings. So does laughter help us to survive in any way? The answer seems to be that smiling and laughter help us to relax, reducing tension and preventing illnesses which are caused by stress. Laughter really is the best medicine! But if you’re unhappy, it can’t do you any good to smile, can it? Not true. Apparently, the positive effects of smiling are just the same whether you feel like smiling or not. Scientists in California asked a group of actors to act five different feelings; happiness, sadness, anger, surprise and fear—just using their faces. Changes in their heart rate, blood pressure and temperature were written down. Most of the feelings they acted didn’t cause changes, but when the actors smiled, their heart rate and their blood pressure went down. This happened to make them feel better.A sense of humor also helps to keep things in perspective. Interfering friends or a flat tire won’t seem quite so bad if you can see the funny side. So if you find yourself in a stressful situation, try to imagine how it must seem to an outsider with a sense of humor and let yourself laugh. A psychologist writes, “ If people try to show a positive reaction instead of a negative one, this will eventually become part of their personality. If you start to laugh, in time you will actually become happier.61．How do people differ from other animals?正确答案：People laugh and smile.62．Who were asked to act different feelings in the experiment?正确答案：A group of actors.63．What did the scientists in California prove?正确答案：Laughter can make people feel better.64．If we are annoyed by interfering friends or a flat tire, we can______.正确答案：see the funny side65．According to the author, ______ is an important quality in dealing with problems.正确答案：positive reactionSection ADirections: Translate the following English into Chinese.66．Perhaps because of the owl’s mysterious appearance, especially its round eyes and flexible neck, there are a lot of myths and superstitions about owls.正确答案：也许由于猫头鹰神秘的外貌，特别是它那圆圆的眼睛和灵活的脖子，因此就有了关于猫头鹰的传说和迷信。

Reading Comprehension (40 points)Direction: This part is to test your reading ability. There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.Passage 1Questions 56-60 are based on the following passageIt is only a shiny, yellow metal, but it is one of the most valuable metals on earth. Since the beginning of time, men have looked for this extremely valuable item, gold.Gold is soft and easy to form into different objects. If it gets wet, it does not rust like iron or other metals. Acids do not change it. One important reason that gold is so valuable is that it is scarce.Due to its softness, gold must be combined with other metals to harden it and give it strength. By hardening gold, people can then make coins and jewelry with it. Metals commonly mixed with gold are nickel, platinum, and copper. Gold jewelry bears a number and the letter K. The K means karat(carat), which is a measure of the amount of pure gold in the jewelry. Pure gold is 24K. Therefore, a necklace which is 14K is fourteen parts gold and ten parts other metal.Many countries utilize gold for certain coins, but this practice is not as common now as it once was. The United States, for instance, stopped making gold coins in 1933.56. Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?A. A ValuableB. Looking for GoldC. Jewelry and CoinsD. What is Karat?57. Which is NOT the reason why gold is highly valuable?A. It can be made into jewelry.B. It is not easily found.C. It is soft and shiny.D. It does not rust when wet.58. In order to make it stronger, gold is often mixed with _______.A. hard goldB. coin and jewelryC. acidsD. other metals59.

Gold may be correctly described by the following EXCEPT ________.A. softB. strongC. acid-resistant C. brightPassage 2Questions 61-65 are based on the following passageA sustainable transportation system is one that is safe, capable and friendly to the environment. Sustainable transportation is about combining economic, social and environmental factors into decisions that affect transportation activity. In economic aspect, we need a transportation system that is efficient. In social aspect, our transportation system must be safe and easy to be reached. In addition, we need a transportation system that respects the natural environment. It is not always easy to balance these three factors but there are also win-win-win opportunities.Sustainable transportation is important. Although transportation brings many economic and social benefits, the movement of people and goods can have important influences on the environment. These influences can in turn have social and economic consequences. Sustainable transportation calls for ensuring that the environment is considered along with economic and social considerations in transportation decision-making.Environmental influences of transportation include air and water pollution, greenhouse effects, and the use of land and other natural resources. A range of transportation activities contribute to these pressures, including the construction of roads; the production, operation, and throwing away of vehicles; and the supply of energy and fuel.A major challenge of sustainable transportation is to control or prevent air pollution and greenhouse effects.61. What is the main idea of the passage?A. It is about sustainable transportation.B. It is about greenhouse effects.C. It is about environment protectionD. It is about air pollution62. A sustainable transportation system can be understood as one that ________.A. brings social benefitsB. brings economic benefits.C. is friendly to the environment.D. brings a win-win-win result.63. How should we understand the social benefits of a sustainable transportation system?A. It should be efficient.B. It should be safe.C. It should be friendly.D. It should be constructive.64. What effects may transportation have on the environment?A. Air and water pollution.B. Greenhouse effects.C. The use of land and other natural resources.D. All of the above.65. The author’s attitude towards the sustainable transportation is _______.A. positiveB. criticalC. negativeD. doubtfulPassage 3Questions 66-70 are based on the following passageAccording to psychologists(心理学家), 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 would. 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 emotions: positive and negative. 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. In 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 and 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 present 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.66. We learn from the passage that an emotion is created by something ________.A. one thinks bad or goodB. one feels in dangerC. one faces in the outside worldD. one tries to escape from real life67. Which of the following is NOT true?A. Children learn emotions as they grow up.B. Babies are born with emotions.C. Emotions fall into two types in generalD.

T he author’s purpose of writing this passage is to _______.A. explain why people have emotionsB. show how people avoid the negative emotionsC. explain what people should do before emotionsD. define and classify people’s emotions69. We can safely conclude that a student may fail in an exam if _____.A. he can not think properlyB. he can’t pay attention to itC. he is not worriedD. he is not full of energy70. As used in the last sentence, the word “drains” probably means _____.A. helpsB. tiesC. weakensD. strengthensPassage 4Questions 71-75 are based on the following passageA gloomy afternoon saw me taking my routine path through that construction site. For the walker’s convenien ce, a set of stone steps had been built, which were fairly steep. That was the place I found myself behind a husband and wife climbing up the steps with each other’s support.The couple seemed to be farmers in their forties. The wife in a red coat was walking with a stick, an empty trouser leg swaying below. With one hand on his shoulder, she leaned almost entirely on her husband, who carefully kept balance with her and carried her other stick. They limped(跛行) their way upward with great difficulty. My curiosity urged me to overtake them and look back over my shoulder secretly. The glance sent a shiver through me, which produced a sensation I had never experienced before. The husband himself was also disabled -blind in both eyes! What struck me even more was the smile they both wore on their faces, such a happy smile as could only be seen from birds and bridegrooms. With few words between them, they smilingly helped each other struggle upwards.Then I noticed there were patches on their clothes, and their cloth shoes were homemade, worn-out but tidy. How could such sweet smiles reconcile(使和谐) with the patched clothing or the physical handicap? I got quite puzzled. When they advanced far ahead I still couldn’t tear my eyes away from them, I was moved and my hea rt filled with admiration.At that moment I suddenly realized how superficial my idea of happiness had been! To me it had always been associated with wealth, fame and power, the poor and the lowly having no share of it. However, happiness can be found in very ordinary life.I witnessed it on the weather-beaten faces of the husband and wife who had shared happiness and misfortune together. There is always happiness when there is an unfailing mutual support between two persons in love.71. How did the husband and wife climb up the steps?A. They didn’t help each other.B. They climbed up the steps with ease.C. They limped their way upward with each other’s support.D. They climbed up the steps depending on a stick.72. What is the problem of the wife?A. One leg is missing.B. One eye is blind.C. She is a dumb person.D. She is a deaf.73. What is the author’s feeling when he saw the husband and wife?A. He was sad and his heart filled with sorry.B. He was moved and his heart filled with admiration.C. He was satisfied with their smiles.D. His heart was full of contempt.74. Which of the following statement is TRUE?A. It was on a set of stone steps that I found myself behind a husband and wife.B. The husband and wife kept talking about something.C. They both wore smiles on their faces because they were bride and bridegroom.D. Their cloth shoes were homemade and very dirty.75. What is the theme of the passage?A. Happiness is always associated with wealth and fame.B. Happiness is associated with health and beauty.C. Happiness is associated with handicap and disability.D. Happiness is associated with mutual love.VI. Cloze (10 points)Directions: There are 10 blanks in the following passage. For each blank there are four choices marked A, B, C and D.

A 300-pound adult Siberian tiger escaped from its four-meter high chain-link pen(圈)at the Toronto Zoo yesterday,on one of the busiest days of the year.Though no one was hurt, the dangerous animal was separated from the public for a time by nothing more than a four-foot fence. The escape occurred after one of the animal's handlers left the pen gate open. It prompted a swift response from officials. Staff were sent immediately to arrest the runaway tiger.General Manager Calvin White told reporters that staff were preparing for the worst. "I ordered a tranquilizer(麻醉剂)gun so we would have tranquilized her, but thankfully we didn't have to," Mr. White said. The tiger was successfully led back into its cage after the brief escape.The incident occurred during the Toronto Zoo's 28(上标)th annual Christmas Treats Walk, where admission is free in return for donations of food that does not easily go bad.Thousands of people attend each Boxing Day to see the animals fed by their handlers.36.

It took us three hours to get there. After we arrived at 5:15 p. m. , we fixed the tent, then made coffee and had a short rest. After that, we went hunting, using a falcon(猎鹰). We spent two hours without finding anything. On our way back to the camp, my cousin saw a rabbit. I removed the falcon's head cover and let go of the aggressive falcon. When the rabbit saw the falcon, it ran fast, but my falcon was a professional hunter. He flew up and came down to trick the rabbit. After two minutes, the rabbit was caught. We took it back to the camp to cook our dinner. We ate the delicious food, drank Arabic coffee, and sat around the fire talking until 10:30 p. m.We left the camp the next day at 7 o'clock in the morning. We went north. However, around 10. 00 a. m., our car got stuck in the sand! We spent about three hours trying to pull out the car without any progress. Finally, we decided to walk. As it was hard for an old man or a young boy to walk more than 40 km in the desert, I decided to get help myself. I took a bottle of water with me and started to walk south alone. I knew the way well, but it was a long way in the sand. 1 walked more than four hours without stopping. When I felt so tired and thirsty, I stopped to rest. I drank all the water and slept for around two hours.When I got up, it was dark. I continued to walk south. I was worried about my uncle and cousin. Suddenly, I met a Bedouin man who was riding his camel. He took me to his house. When I had had enough rest, I asked him to take me to the road where I found a car. It took me to the city to get help. I had one day to get back to my uncle and cousin. When I got back to them, they were so happy because I had gotten help and they were able to see me again.40.

And now a big research study confirms it.Professor Barry Wellman's term is "networked individualism". It's not the easiest concept to grasp. In fact, the words seem to contradict each other. How can we be individualistic and networked at the same time? You need other people for network.Here's what he means. Until the Internet and e-mail came along, our social network involved flesh-and-blood relatives, friends, neighbors, and colleagues. Some of the interaction was by phone, but it was still voice to voice, person to person, in reallife.But the latest study confirms that for a lot of people, electronic interaction through the computer has replaced a great deal of social activities and person-to-person interaction. Some people worry that the Internet is turning us into isolated people who shut out other people in favor of a false world on computer screens.To the contrary, the study discovered that the Internet connects us with more real people than expected—helpful people who can give advice on careers, medical problems, raising children, and choosing a school or college. About 60 million Americans told the researcher that the Internet plays an important or crucial role in helping them deal with major life decisions.So we networked individuals are pretty tricky: we're keeping more to ourselves, while at the same time reaching out to more people, all with just the click of a computer mouse!44. The term "networked individualism" is used to refer to______.A. the way that modem people communicate on the InternetB. a social activity popular with North AmericansC. the contradiction within network communicationD. a newly invented Internet software45. With the wide use of Internet, some people fear that______.A. people will become isolatedB. interpersonal relation will disappearC. people will be controlled by networkD. there will be too many social activities46. According to the latest research, electronic interaction through computer is______.A. highly rewardingB. a waste of timeC. only informativeD. an escape from social life47. Why does the writer say networked individuals are tricky?A. Because they sometimes play tricks on people.B. Because they refuse person-to-person communication.C. Because they can stay alone while remaining sociable.D. Because they feel puzzled when communicating with each other.Passage Four"I love you, Bob." "I love you, too, Nancy." It was 2 a.m. and I was hearing my parents' voices through the thin wall separating my bedroom from theirs. Their loving words were sweet, touching— and surprising.My parents married on September 14,1940, alter a brief dating. She was nearly 30 and knew it was time to 'start a family. The handsome, well-educated man wh0 came by the, office where she worked looked like a good bet. He was attracted by her figure, her blue eyes. The romance didn't last long.Seeds of difference grew almost immediately. She liked to travel; he hated the thought. He loved golf; she did not. He was a Republican, she a loyal Democrat. They fought at the bridge table, at the dinner table, over money, over the perceived shortcomings of their respective in-laws.There was a hope that they would change once they retired, and the angry winds did calm somewhat, but what remained changed itself into bright, hard bitterness. "I always thought we'd..." my mother would begin, before launching into a precise listing of my father's faults. The complaints were recited so often, I can repeat them by heart today. As he listened, my father would say angry threats and curses in a low voice.It wasn't the happiest marriage, but as their 602 anniversary(纪念日)approached, my sister and I decided to throw a party. Sixty years was a long time, after alit why not try to make the best of things? We'd provide the cake, the balloons, the toasts, and they'd follow one rule: no fighting.The agreement was honored.

The experts offer these suggestions: Develop an idea. Before you go to sleep, consciously think about a topic or a person you'd like to dream about. Raise a question that's troubling you and see how your dream responds to it.Keep track. Next to your bed, place a pen and some paper, or a tape recorder or laptop(笔记本电脑) ,to record your dreams as soon as you wake up.Try to wake up naturally, without the help of an alarm clock or barking dog that can interrupt your dream cycle. If your schedule doesn't allow you to sleep in during the week, begin your dream journey on a weekend or during a vacation.Wake up slowly. For the first moment after you wake up, lie still and keep your eyes closed, because your dream may be connected to your body position while you slept. Try to recall the dream and then store it in your memory by giving it a name like "Late for an Exam" or "My Date with Ashley Judd." When you rise, immediately write down as many images, feelings and impressions as you can.Connect the dots. To better interpret your dreams, try to make connections between your recalled dreams and recent events. Do you recognize people from the present or past? Can you detect any themes from the dream? Look for patterns over several dreams that might help explain an individual dream.Change the outcome, If you have nightmares happening again and again that make it difficult to sleep, try to change the endings. Once you wake up from a bad dream, imagine a change in the action to create a more positive outcome. If you are trapped, try to fly. In your dream, you can do what you want !52.

There are 3 tasks for you to fulfill. You should read the materials carefully and do the tasks as you are instructed.Telephone, television, radio, and telegraph all help people communicate with each other. Because of these devices, ideas and news of events spread quickly all over the world. For example, within seconds, people can know the results of an election in another country. An international football match comes into the homes of everyone with a television set. News of a disaster such as an earthquake or flood can bring help from distant countries. Within hours, help is on the way. Because of modern technology like the satellites that travel around the world, information travel fast.How has this speed of communication changed the world? To many people, the world has become smaller. Of course this does not mean that the world is actually physically smaller. It means that the world seems smaller. Two hundred years ago, communication between the continents took a long time. All news was carried on ships that took weeks or even months to cross the oceans. In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, it took six weeks for news from Europe to reach Americas. This time difference influenced people's actions. For example, one battle, in the War of 1812 between England and the United Stats could have been avoided. A peace agreement had already been signed. Peace was made in England, but the news of peace took six weeks to reach America. During these six weeks, the large and serious Battle of New Orleans was fought. Many people lost their lives after a peace treaty had been signed. They would not have died if news had come in time. In the past, communication took much more time than it does now.36. News spreads fast because of __________.A. a peace agreementB. new technologyC. the changes of the worldD. modern transportation37. According to this passage, __________ is very important to people in a disaster area.A. latest newsB. new ideasC. fast communicationD. modern technology38. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. The world is changing in size.B. The world now seems smaller because of faster communication.C. The world is actually smaller today.D. The distance between England and America has changed since the War of 1812.39. Two hundred years ago, news between the continentswas carried __________.A. by airB. by seaC. by landD. by telephone and telegraph40. The New Orleans Battle could have been avoided if the peace agreement had been signed __________.A. in AmericaB. in EnglandC. by both sidesD. in timeTask 2When prices are low people will buy more, and when pricesare high they will buy less. Every shopkeeper knows this. But atthe same time, producers want higher prices for their goods when they make more goods. How can we find the best price forthe goods? The Law of Supply and Demand is the economist's answer to this question.According to this law, changes in the prices of goods causechanges in supply and demand. An increase in the price of the goods causes an increase in supply — the number of goods the producers make. Producers will make more goods when they can get higher prices for the goods. The producer makes more shoes as the price of shoes goes up. At the same time, an increase in the price of the goods causes a decrease in demand —the number of goods the consumers buy. This is because people buy less when the price is high. People buy fewer shoes as the price of shoes goes up. Conversely, a decrease in the price causes an increase in demand (people buy more shoes) and a decrease in supply (producers make fewer shoes).Business firms look at both supply and demand when they make decisions about prices and production. They look for the equilibrium point where supply equals demand. At this point, the number of shoes produced is 3000 and the price of the shoes is $ 30. $ 30 is the equilibrium price; at this price the consumers will buy all of the 3000 shoes which the producers make. If the producers increase the price of the shoes, or if they produce more than 3000 shoes, the consumers will not buy all of the shoes. The producers will have a surplus (过剩) —more supply than demand — so they must decrease the price in order to sell all of the shoes. On the other hand, if they make fewer than 3000 shoes, there will be a shoes shortage —more demand than supply —and the price will go up.According to the Law of Supply and Demand, the equilibrium price is the best price for the goods. The consumers and the producers will agree on this price because it is the only price that helps them both equally.41. Why does an increase in price cause an increase in supply?A. Consumers buy more goods when prices are high.B. Producers want to sell all of their goods.C. Producers make more goods when prices are high.D. Consumers will not buy all of the goods.42. Why does a decrease in prices cause an increase in demand?A. Producers make fewer goods when prices are low.B. Consumers buy fewer goods when prices are low.C. Consumers buy more goods when prices are low.D. Producers make more goods when prices are high.43. What do business firms look at when they make decisions about prices and production?A. The equilibrium point.B. The demand curve.C. The supply curve.D. All of the above.44. Why will consumers and producers agree on the equilibrium price?A. It is the only price for the goods.B. It will help them both equally.C. All of the goods will be sold.D. It is the lowest price.45. When will producers have a surplus of goods?A. When supply equals demand.B. When they sell all of their goods.C. When there is more demand than supply.D. When there is more supply than demand.Task 3Money is used for buying or selling goods, for measuring value and for storing wealth. Almost every society now has a money economy based on coins and bills of one kind or another. However, this has not always been true. In primitive societies asystem of barter was used. Barter was a system of direct exchange of goods. Somebody could exchange a sheep, for example, for anything in the market place that he or she considered to be of equal value. Barter, however, was a very unsatisfactory system because people's precise needs were seldom met. People needed a more practical system of exchange, and various money systems developed based on goods that the members of society recognized as having value. Cattle, grain, teeth, shells, feathers, salt, elephant tusks, and tobacco had all been used. Precious metals gradually took over because, when made into coins, they were portable, durable, recognizable, and divisible into larger and smaller units of value.A coin is a piece of metal, usually disc-shaped, which bears words, designs or numbers showing its value. Until the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, coins were given monetary worth based on the exact amount of metal contained in them, but most modern coins are based on face value — the value that the governments choose to give them, which doesn't show the actual metal content. Coins have been made of gold, silver, copper, aluminum (铝) , nickel (镍) , lead, zinc (锌) , plastic and in China even from tea leaves. Most governments now issue paper money in the form of bills, which are really "promise to pay". Paper money is obviously easier to handle and much more convenient in the modern world. Checks and credit cards are being used increasingly, and it is possible to imagine a world where "money" in the form of coins and paper currency will no longer be used. Even today, in the United States, many places, especially filling stations will not accept cash at night for security reasons.46. Barter here means __________.A. exchanging goods for goodsB. exchanging money for goodsC. exchanging goods for moneyD. exchanging sheep for anything in the market47. Why were precious metals gradually used for makingcoins?A. Because they were durable and portable.B. Becausethey were recognizable.C. Because they were divisible.D. All of the above.48. Coins were given value according to the exact amount ofmetals contained in them __________.A. between the eighteenth and nineteenth centuriesB. after the eighteenth and nineteenth centuriesC. during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuriesD. before the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries49. Promises to pay means __________.A. opportunities to payB. necessities to payC. obligations to payD. possibilities to pay50. A world without any money in the form of coins andpaper is __________.A. suitableB. possibleC. avoidableD. necessaryReading Comprehension ( 2 ) (5points, 1 points each) Task 4 Directions: In this task, there is a passage with 5 questions(51 through 55). Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions in the fewest possible words. The answer should bewritten after corresponding numbers on the Answer Sheet.Sam and Joe were astronauts. There was once a very dangerous trip and the more experienced astronauts knew therewas only a small chance of coming back alive. Sam and Joe, however, thought it would be exciting though a little dangerous. "We are the best men for the job," they said to the boss. "There may be problems, but we can find the answers." "They are the last people I'd trust," thought the boss. " But all the other astronauts have refused to go. "Once they were in space, Joe had to go outside to make some repairs. When the repairs were done, he tried to get back inside the spaceship. But the door was locked. He knocked but there was no answer. He knocked again, louder this time, and again, no answer came. Then he hit the door as he could and finally a voice said, "Who' s there?" "It's me. Who else could it be?" shouted Joe. Sam let him in all right but you can imagine that Joe never asked to go on a trip with Sam again.51. Why were most of the astronauts unwilling to go on the trip?They thought they __________________________________.52. Why were Sam and Joe chosen?They were the only men who _________________________.53. What did the two astronauts think the trip would be like?_________________________________________________.54.

A complete encyclopedia (百科全书) of American music is a small library! By just looking at a few types of American music, we can see much diversity.Blues music, which goes back to the 1860s, has African American roots. Blues singers oftensing of sad themes: feelings of loneliness or hunger, or being far away from home. The banjo and the washboard were common instruments in early blues music. The harmonica, guitar, and piano are some of the many other instruments used in blues.Jazz has its beginning in the 1890s in New Orleans. The musical contributions of people from many parts of the world came together in this port on the Mississippi River to create the early versions of jazz.

A passenger can leaveLondon at noon and arrive in New York at ten o’clock that same morning! There is a five-hour time difference between the two cities and Concorde can fly the Atlantic in only three hours. That evening the passenger will feel it is time to go to bed when it is only six o’clock. The evening will only just be beginning. Airline pilots suffer fromthis very much. It may be in the middle of the night in Hong Kong but their stomachs are still on London time, where it is dinner time. Pilots and other airline crew have to adjust to constant changes in time. That is why they often look fifty years old when they are only forty. This adjustment to sudden changes causes all sorts of problems.Air travel is getting faster all the time. Engineers say that soon people will be “shot” to theirdestinations in huge rockets. These rockets will be shot high above the earth’s atmosphere and land on the other side of the earth forty-five minutes after take-off. They will be able to cross the Pacific Ocean in only eighteen minutes.But, of course, passengers will face the same problems on the ground that they face at present.We shall still spend hours getting to the airport. Today, the shortest part of the journey and the least difficult is in the air. The worst and longest part is on the roads leading from the center of town to the airport.

What do you think?""I don't like it“Why not?""I don’t know.Ther e’s just something about lie salesmanthat I don’t believe.A few weeks after we had bought anothercar elsewhere, I happened to find out the history of the drop-head. It had beenseriously damaged in a crash before we saw it, and cleverly done up. The carwas, indeed, a very bad risk.Of all the things about women that theirhusbands do not understand, perhaps the biggest question is this: How can sheoften be right about things of which she has absolutely no knowledge? How doesa woman’s intuition wor k? What is this strange power that tells her exactlywhen her husband isn’t working late on business, however honest he pretends tobe? Is it guesswork, or some sixth sense that men don't have?46. When was the"first time" the husband felt "really shaken" by his wife'sintuition?A. When they bought another car.B.

Does a man walk on the left or the right of a woman in your country?Or doesn’t it matter? Should you use both hands when you are eating? Shouldleave one in your lap or on the table?The Americans and the British not onlyspeak the same language but also share a large number of social customs.

That is, if a dinner invitation isfor 7 0' clock, the dinner guest either arrives close to that time or calls upto explain his delay.The importantthing to remember about social customs is not to do anything that might makeother people feel uncomfortable-especially if they are your guests.

Laboratory mice given the drug lostup to a third of their total body weight.Within 20 minutes of being given thedrug, called C75, the mice lost interest in eating and survived apparentlycontent on just 10 percent of the food they would normally eat.As a result, mice taking the drug lost45 percent more weight than mice fed the same amount of food, which compensatefor the lack of food by becoming more lazy.Scientists, from the Johns HopkinsUniversity in Baltimore, said that C75 is likely to produce a similar effect onhumans because appetite control in brain is thought to be based on the, samechemical pathways as those in mice." We are not claiming to havefound a fabled(神奇的) weight-lossdrug.

there are four choices marked A),B),C) and D):You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage OneUnemployment may be one of the biggest problems our people as well as our government are faced with today.According to an official report,in one big city alone,since 1986,neasly 1,000,000 adult workers have lost their jobs because of factory closings and cutbacks either temporarily (暂时) laid off or permanently forced to retire.Many people,especially the policy makers,believe that forcing adult workers,those who are over 45,to retire is an effective means to relieve the tension of unemployment,for it can provide over 45,to retire is an effective means to relieve the tension of unemployment,for it can provide more job opportunities for the jobless young.But they fail to notice that forcing a person who is still able to work and has a family to support to retire brings serious financial problems as well as emotional and physical ones.they also fail to realize that actually,workers aged 45-60 tend to be more stable ,more skillful and more experienced that workers of any other ages,that to some extent this age is the prime time for one’s productivity and creativity.To force them to retire is a huge waste of the nation’s best resources,On the contrary,if we turn our attention to the other end of the range of ages,a more effective way might appear.Today only 3% of schllo-leavers are allowed to go to collgeg,leaving the majority of the young people under 18 without adequate preparation to join the labor force.If,however,more of them aare able to attend collgeg and begin full-time employment at a later age,more job opportunities will be created as the munber of years that an average person works full-time shrinks.Most importantly,we should not be merely satisfied to solve the problem of unemployment,but rather,we should improve the quality of the work force at the same time by keeping the skilled adults and employing the well educated young.21.Forcing middleaged persons to retire might cause .A)the loss of valuable resources B)shortage of the work forceC)elderly people to

Be forced To Retire B)Why Don’t We Educate the Young?C)How to Solve Unemployment problem D)Are the policy Makers Wise?Passage TwoWhat is exactly 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 form you,you say:“I wish I could help you but I’m short of money myself.”In 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 ofthis.Is this really a lie?A scientific study of lyng shows women are better liars (说谎者)than men,particularly when telling a “white lie”,such as when a woman at a party tells tells another woman that she likes her dress when she really thinks it looks terrible.However,this is only one side of the story.Other researches show 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 fron which the man hopes to profit or gain in some way.Research has also been done into the way people’s behavior changes in a number of small,unimportant ways when they lie.It has been found that if they are sitting down at the same time,they tend to move about in their chairs more than usual,To the trained observer they are
