Reading Comprehension (50 points)Passage 1Most American people hate repeating the same work endlessly, especially those who live in the West America. They try their best to make their life colorful and their work interesting. If they have to do the same regular work, they'll try to do in different ways. Repetition and monotony(单调) are what they can't stand.In the West of America, there is a beautiful old mountain village which is well known for its straw hats. The villagers there can make different styles of hats hats for old gentlemen, for sweet and playful children, and for beautiful young ladies. People often go there to buy hats.One day there came a young tourist who entered a millinery (女士帽子) shop and found a very nice hat costing five dollars. He said to the shop-keeper, “If you agree to sell at a cheaper price, I'd like to buy two hundred hats of this style.” “No, you should pay me at least ten dollars each if you wish to get so many hats of the same style.” “How's that?" The tourist could not understand.“Well," said the shop-keeper, “If you buy only one hat of this style, I can make it easily. If you order two hundred hats of different styles, I can also manage the business without much difficulty, However, it will almost bore me to death if you want me to make two hundred hats of the same style. So you at least pay me double price.”61. We can learn from the story that ______ .A. only the straw hats of the same style were sold.B. most American people don't want to do the same work again and againC. the straw hats were sold only in the mountain villageD. the price will be cheaper if you buy a lot of hats of the same style.62.

The answer of the shop-keeper really made the tourist___.A. frightenedB. puzzledC. shockedD. amused64. Why did the shop-keeper demand the touristA. Because the shop-keeper couldn't make two hundred hats of the same style.B. Because the shop-keeper couldn't stand repeating the same work endlessly.C. Because the shop-keeper didn't want to sell him so many hats.D. Because the shop- keeper hadn't enough straw to make the hats.65. "It will bore me almost to death" in Paragraph 5 means that ___________.A. it would be too expensive for the shop-keeper.B. the shop-keeper was bored and would die at once.C. the shop-keeper was dying.D. it would be too boring for the shop –keeper.Passage 2It is exciting to apply for a job that really interests you. In making your application there are a number of points for you to observe.In your letter of application, you aim to say just enough to introduce yourself. If you are answering an advertisement any information for which it asks must of course be given. This will usually cover your school record and any further education and training.

For this purpose you should choose people who know you well enough about your character and ability; and you should also ask for their permission to be named as referees.It will depend on circumstances how much you can usefully add about yourself.' Your purpose is to bring to the notice of the boss any good reason why you rather than any of the other applicants(申请人) should be chosen for the job. If therefore you feel you have any special skill for the work or for example any particular interest in the line of the business 1et this be known.Finally there is your use of language. You cannot go wrong if you keep your sentences and paragraphs short making sure the sense is clear and well expressed. Choose plain words so 1ong as they can express your meaning.66.

The noise can be the sound of a jet airplane or machines in factories of 1oud music or other common sound at home and at work.A person only needs to hear the noise for little more than one second to be affected.An American scientist has found that using aspirin (阿司匹林)increase the temporary (暂时的hearing 1oss or damage from loud noise.He did an experiment using a number of students at a university who all had normal hearing. He gave them different amounts of aspirin for different periods of time, then he tested their hearing ability. He found that students who were given four grams of aspirin a day for two days suffered much greater temporary hearing loss than those who did not use aspirin. The hearing loss was about two times as great.The scientist said millions of persons in the U.S. use much larger amounts of aspirin than were used in his experiment. He said these persons face a serious danger of suffering hearing loss from loud noise.71. Hearing damage or loss may be caused byA. loud musicB. the sound of a jet airplane or machinesC. common sounds at home or at workD. all of the above72.

But if they lived on the seashore, they knew that there was land and sea.People who lived near the sea noticed that there were two kinds of land. There were, first ,little pieces of land surrounded by sea. One Latin word for “sea” is “salum” ,which means “salt”. This is because sea water, unlike rain-water, contains salt-it is salty . So piece of land in the sea was “in salt” in Latin, and this became isle in English.Then there was another kind of land that went on and on. It was “continuous” land, and so became known as continent in English from the Latin " continens ” meaning continuous, In English, we also speak of a continent as the mainland (“main” comes from the Latin “magnus” meaning "great")，as opposed to island (isle-land).To the ancient Greek, there seemed to be three continents separated by sea. The-Mediterranean Sea, in fact ,gets its name from the Latin “medius”（middle) and “terra"(land), It was a sea that lay in the middle, with three bodies of land around it. The three continents—Asia，Europe and Africa—are actually connected by land, Africa and Asia are connected by only the small Sinai Isthmus, from the Greek “isthmus”meaning" a narrow passage”, but Europe and Asia are connected by land for a thousand miles or more and it is customary to speak of Europe as a continent. Many geographers speak of the landmass of Asia plus Europe as Eurasia, and Eurasia plus Africa is sometimes called the World Island. The three together are surrounded by sea, so they form a large island, and they contain about 85 percent of the earth's population.76. People in ancient times knewA. a lot about land and seaB. some continents were connectedC. little about the surface of the earthD. many people lived on the World Island77. The word “continent” comes from language.A. the LatinB. the RomanC. the GreekD. the Hebrew78. "Eurasia” is the name for the continents ofA. Europe and AsiaB. Europe and AfricaC. Africa and AsiaD. Europe, Asia and Africa79. What connects Asia and Africa?A. A small island.B. A large desert.C. A narrow passage.D. A wide land80. About 85% of the population in the world are living .A. in EuropeB. in AsiaC. in EurasiaD. on the World IslandPart 3: Translation (20 points)Learning English has been almost a painful experience for me, one that I wouldn’t trade for anything .Not only did learning English teach me the value of hard work ,but also gave me insights(领悟)into another culture. The most exciting result of having learned English is that I am able to communicate with many more people than before. Talking with people is my favorite activity, so the newly learned language allows me to meet new people, participate in conversations, and form new and unforgettable friendships.Part 4: Writing (20 points)Directions :For this part, you are required to write a composition of 120 to 180 word, Your writing should be based on the title and outline given below.College Students’ Doing Part-Time Jobs1.大学生做兼职的益处；2.大学生做兼职的弊端；3.你的看法。

Reading Comprehension (50%)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 OnePopulation tends to grow at an exponential(指数的)rate. This means that they progressively double. As an example of this type of growth rate take one penny and double every day for one month. After the first week, you would have only 64 cent, but after the fourth week you would have over a million dollars.This helps explain why the population has come on“all of a sudden”took from he beginning of human 1ife to the year 1830 for the population of the earth to reach one billion. That repents(缓慢进行) a time span of at least two million years. Then it took from 1830 to 1930 for world population to reach 2 billion. The next billion was added by 1960 only thirty years and in 1975 world population reached 4 billion which is another billion people in only fifteen years.World population is increasing at a rate of 9, 000per hour, 220,000 per day and 80 million per year. This is not only due to higher birth rate, but to lower death rate as well. The number of births has not declined at the same rate as the number of deaths.Some countries such as Columbia, Thailand, Morocco, Costa Rica and the Philippines are doubling their population about every twenty-one years with a growth rate of 3.3 percent a year or more. The United States is doubling its population about very eighty-seven years, with a rate of 0.8 percent per year. （81）Every time a population doubles, the country involved needs twice as much of everything, including hospitals, schools, resources, food and medicines to care for its people. It is easy to see that this is very difficult to achieve for the more rapidly growing countries.41. This passage chiefly discussesA. the growth of world population.B. one type of the exponential rate.C. the population problem of more rapidly growing countries.D. the possible ways of dealing with the rapid population growth.42. According to the passage what helps to explain why the population problem has come on “all of a sudden”?A. The penny that doubles itself every day for one month.B. The time span of at 1east two million years in human history.C. An illustration of the exponent growth rate given by the author.D. The large amount of money you would luckily make after the fourth week.43. It took for the world to increase its population from 1 billion to 4 billion.A. 100 yearsB. 175 yearsC. 1975 yearsD. over two million years44. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. World population is increasing at a rate of 150 per minute.B. Lower death rate also contributes to world population growth.C. The population of Columbia has been doubling every year for 21 years.D. The United States is usually doubling its population on about every 87 years.45. When a population doubles, the country involved needs twice as much of everything including __.A. hospitals and medicinesB. schools and studentsC. food and manpower resourcesD. all of the aboveQuestions 46 to 50 based on the following passage:Passage TwoWomen are on the whole more verbal than men. They are good at 1anguage and verbal reasoning. while men tend to be skilled at tasks demanding visual-spatial(视空)abilities. In fact, along with aggression these are the most commonly accepted difference between these sexes.Words are tools for communicating with other people especially information about people. They are mainly social tools. Visual and spatial abilities are good for imagining and manipulating objects and for communicating information about them. Are these talents programmed into the brain? In some of the newest and most controversial research in neurophysiology(神经生理学), it has been suggested that when it comes to the brain males are specialists while women are generalists.But one knows that, if anything this means in terms of the abilities of the two sexes. Engineering is both Visual and spatial and it’s true that there are relatively few women engineers. But women become just as skilled as men at shooting a rifle or driving a car task that involve visual-spatial skills. They also do equally well at programming a computer, which is neither visual nor spatial. Women do, however, seem less likely to fall in love with the objects themselves. We all know men for whom machines seem to beextensions of their identity. （82）A woman is more likely to see her car, rifle or computer as a useful tool but not in itself fascinating.46. According to the passage, women are usually good at_____.A. body languageB. logical reasoningC. tasks demanding for the use of wordsD. both A and B47. The word "accepted” in the last sentence of the first paragraph, roughly means_____.A. believedB. assumedC. receivedD. reconciled48. In the author’s opinion, visual and spatial abilities are good for______.A. achieving one’s objects.B. mind and body.C. programming talents into the brain.D. imagination and communication.49. All the following tasks involve visual-spatial abilities EXCEPT____.A. imagining and handling objects.B. providing a computer with a set of instructionsC. shooting a gun and driving an automobileD. planning and making things as an engineer does50. Why do women seem less likely to fall in love with the objects themselves?A. Because they have no visual-spatial skills.B. Because they are only good at 1anguage and verbal reasoning.C. Because they are less likely to see their charming or interesting aspects.D. Because they rarely use machines such as cars, rifles, computers, etc.Questions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage:Passage ThreeThe US. government has recently helped people learn more about the dangers of earthquakes by publishing a map. This map shows the chances of an earthquake in each part of the country. （83）The areas of the map where earthquakes are most likely to occur are called earthquake “belt”. The government is, spending a great deal money and is working hard to help discover the answer to these two questions: l. Can we predict earthquake? 2. Can we control earthquakes?To answer the first question, scientists are looking very closely at the most active fault(断层)systems in the country such as the San Andreas fault in California, a fault is break between two sections of the earth’s surface. These breaks between sections are the place where earthquake occurs.Scientists look at the faults for changes that might show that an earthquake was about to occurs. But it will probably be many years before we can predict earthquakes accurately. And the control of earthquakes is even farther away.Nevertheless, there have been some interesting developments in the field of controlling earthquakes. The most interesting development concerns the Rocky Mountain Arsenal earthquakes.Here water was put into a layer of rocks 4000 meters below surface of the ground. Shortly after this injection of water, there were a small number of earthquakes. Scientists have decided that the water which was injected into rocks works like oil on each other. When the water“oiled”the fault, the fault became slippery and the energy of an earthquake was released. Scientists are still experimenting at the site of these earthquakes. They have realized that there is a connection between injection of the water and the earthquake activity. They have suggested that might be possible to use this knowledge to prevent very big destructive earthquakes, that is, scientists could inject some kind of fluid like water into faults and change one big earthquake into a number of small, harmless earthquakes.51. Earthquake belts are .A. maps that show where earthquakes are likely to occurB. zones with a high probability of earthquakesC. breaks between two sections of the earth’s surfaceD. the two layers of earth along a fault52. The San Andreas’ fault is .A. an active fault systemB. a place where earthquakes have been predicted accuratelyC. a place where earthquake have been controlledD. the location of the Rocky Mountain53. What did scientists learn about earthquakes at the Rocky Mountain Arsenal？A. They occur at bout 4000 meters below ground levelB. The injection of water into earthquake faults prevents earthquakes from occurring.C. They are usually caused by the oil in the faults.D. Harmful earthquakes can be possibly prevented by causing small harmless earthquake.54. What can be said about the experiments at Rocky Mountain Arsenal?A.

Earthquake Engineering in CaliforniaQuestions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage:Passage FourSporting activities are essentially modified forms of hunting behavior. Viewed biologically, the modern footballer is in reality a member of a hunting group. His killing weapon has turned into a harmless football and his prey into a goalmouth. If his aim is accurate and he scores a goal, he enjoys the hunter’s triumph of killing his prey.To understand how this transformation has taken place we must briefly look back at our forefathers. They spent over a million years evolving(进化) as Cooperative hunters. Their very survival depended on success in the hunting field. （84）Under this pressure their whole way of life, even their bodies, became greatly changed：They became chasers, runners, jumpers, aimers, throwers and prey killers. They cooperated as skillful male group attack.Then about ten thousand years ago, after this immensely long period of hunting the food, they became farmers. Their improved intelligence, so vital to their old hunting life was put to a new use——that of controlling and domesticating (驯养) their prey. The hunt became suddenly out of date. The food was there on the farms, awaiting their needs. The risks and uncertainties of the hunt were no longer essential for survival.(85)The skills and thirst for hunting remained, however, and demanded new outlets. Hunting for sport replaced hunting for necessity. This new activity involved all the original hunting sequences(后果), but the aim of the operation was no longer to avoid starvation. Instead the sportsmen set off to test their skill against prey that was no longer essential to their survival. To be sure, the kill may have been eaten, but there were other purposes, much simpler of obtaining a meaty meal.56. What is the main idea of the passage?A.Hunting is very important in human civilization.B.Sporting activities satisfy the desire of modern society.C.It’s hunting that provides human beings with food.D.The importance of sporting activities in modern society.57. According to the author, sporting activities .A. are essential to the survivalB. have actually developed from huntingC. evolve as biological developmentD. are football games58. For over a million years. our forefathers were basically .A. skillful sportsmenB. successful farmersC. runners and jumpersD. cooperating hunters59. The word“operation (Par. 4)refers to .A. sports activitiesB. huntingC. farmersD. prey killing60. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. The goalmouth is equal to the weapon in hunting.B. Without hunting our forefathers couldn’t live.C. After our forefathers became farmers they still hunted for food.D. Farmers are satisfied with stable lives and they didn’t have enthusiasm for hunting any moreIII. Cloze Test (20分)Directions: There are 20 blanks in the following passage.

human brain has two sides,and each side has different work to do.The left side of the brain controls language and number it analyses and reasons. The right side controls our imagination;it controls our understanding of music and our sense of rhythm.It is the right side of our brain which makes daydreams.Great artists and great scientists are similar:they both use the two sides of their brain.It is well-known that Albert Einstein as a great scientist also enjoyed art,playing the violin and sailing.Einstein said his scientific discoveries grew from his imagination rather than from analysis reason and language.He said that written and spoken words were not important in his thinking.He got ideas by using his imagination.He then used the left side of brain to use analysis.number and reason and then he used language to explain it.Usual education in schools encourages us to use the left side of our nguage, number,analysis and reasons are given more importance in our schools than imagination and daydreaming.In fact,all of us need both sides of our brain.We need to use or imaginations to think of solutions to problems and to enjoy feeling and creative experiences.And we need to be logical and to be able to analyze and organize in order to live in this world.It is true that some people find it easier to use one side of the brain rather than the otherbut all of us can use both sides and all of us benefit by using all the powers we have. Nietzsche,the well-known philosopher,said that we add to our knowledge by making conscious the unconscious.66.According to the passage, of our brain controls our understanding of music.A.the left sideB.the right sideC.both sideD.neither side67.Albert Einstein's example is used to support the idea that .A.all scientific discoveries are based on imagination.B.people should do nothing but daydreaming two sides of brain is importantD.scientists are good at imagining what may happen68.It is implied in the passage that school education .A.suggests using both sides at the brainB.finds it very important to have daydreamsC.claims that analysis and reason are of no valueD.fails to develop the sight side of the brain69.What did Nietzsche soy about adding to the knowledge we have?A.Learning happens when we are not conscious.B.Learning happens when we make unconscious decisions.C.Learning happens when we become aware of things inside us.D.Learning happens when we think about things logically.70.The author's attitude toward using two sides of the brain is .A.positiveB.neutralC.illogicalD.criticalPassage ThreeFor many people today,reading is no longer relaxation.To keep up their work they must read letters,reports,trade publications,interoffice communications,not to mention newspapers and magazines:a never-ending flood of words.In getting a job or advancing one,the ability to read and comprehend quickly can mean the difference between success and failure Yet the unfortunate fact is that most of us are poor readers.Most of us develop poor reading habits at an early age,and never get over them The main problem lies in language itself-words.Single words have little meaning until they are combined into phrases,sentences and paragraphs. Unfortunately,however,the untrained reader does not read groups of words. He reads one word at a time,often regressing to reread words or passages.Regression or looking back over what you have just read,is a common bad habit in reading.Another habit which slows down the speed of reading is vocalization-sounding each word either orally or mentally as one reads.To overcome these bad habits.some reading clinics use a device called accelerator (加速器)which moves a bar down the page at a predetermined speed.The bar is set at a slightly faster rate than the reader finds comfortable,in order to "stretch"him.The accelerator forces the reader to read fast making word by word reading,regression and vocalization virtually impossible.At first,comprehension is sacrificed for speed.But when you learn to read ideas, you will not only read faster but your comprehension will improved.Many people have found their reading skills improved a lot after some training.71.According to the passage,today many people no longer read for .A.newsB.their workrmationD.entertainment72.Most people can't read and comprehend quickly mainly because .A.they don't read groups of wordsB.they don't like to be trained in reading skillsC.they don't realize they have pour reading habitsD.they don't understand words when out together73.The following are all bad reading habits EXCEPT .A.regressionB.reading for ideas onlyC.vocalizationD.word by word reading74.How does an accelerator help people to read?A.It helps people read at a comfortable speed.B.It makes people stretch their eyes when reading.C.It forces people to overcome bad reading habitsD.It lets people look back over what they have just read.75.What does "At first,comprehension is sacrificed for speed."mean?A.The reader reads fast,but he understands everything he reads.B.The reader reads slowly,and he understands everything he reads.C.The reader reads fast without understanding everything he reads.D.The reader reads slowly,but he doesn't understand everything he reads.Passage FourWhen the dog named Juddy spotted the first sheen in her life she did what cones naturally.The four-year-old dog set off racing after the sheep across several fields and being a city animal,lost both her sheep and her sense of direction.Then she ran along the edge of cliff （悬崖）and fell 100 feet bouncing off a rock into the sea.Her owner Mike Holden panicked and celled the coastguard of Cornwall who turned up in seconds.Six volunteers slid down the cliff with the help of a rope but gave up all hope of finding her alive after a 90-minute search.Three days later,a hurricane hit the coast near Cornwall.Mr.Holden returned home fromhis holiday upset and convinced his pet was dead.He comforted himself with the thought she had died in the most beautiful part of the country.For the neat two weeks,the Holdens were heartbroken.Then,one day,the phone rang and Steve Tregear,the coastguard of Cornwall,asked Holder if he would like his dog bark.A birdwatcher.armed with a telescope found the pet sitting desperately on a rock While he sounded the alarm,the student from Leeds climbed down the cliff to collect Judy.The dog had initially been knocked unconscious（失去知觉的）but had survived by drinking water from a fresh scream at the base of the cliff.She may have fed on the body of a sheep which had also fallen over the edge."The dog was very thin and hungry"Steve Tregear said,"it was a very dog.She survived because of a plentiful supply of fresh water",he added.It was,.as Mr.Holden admitted,“a minor miracle（奇迹）”76.The dog Judy fell down the cliff

healthy when she was foundC.People thought Judy died after a 90-minute search.D.Judy survived because she had fresh water and food.80.The best title for the passage can be.A.Miracle of the Coastguard.B.Surviving a HurricaneC.Dangers in the wild.D.A narrow Escape.III.Translation (20 points)Directions:In this part,there is one paragraph in English.Read the paragraph carefully andtranslate it into Chinese.How should we react to disasters?I think it is reasonable to face them.No one expects disasters,but if they come,they are there,and we must accept them as they are.In this way it might be easier for us to recover from the shock they bring to us.Second,I'll concentrate on what I can do to relieve the bad effect of the disaster.We can not do what is done,but we can make things a little better with our efforts.Finally,in the face of disasters,we should help each other and unite to make up the losses caused by the disaster.IV.Writing (20 points)Directions:For this part,you are

They try their best to make their life colorful and their work interesting. If they have to do the same regular work, they’ll try to do it in different ways. Repetition and monotony ( 单调) are what they can't stand.In the West of America, there is a beautiful old mountain village which is well known for its straw hats. The villagers there canshop-keeper,” If you ag ree to sell at a cheaper price, I'd like to buy two hundred hats of this style.” “No, you should pay me at least ten dollars each if you wish to get so many hats of the same style.”“How's that?” The tourist could not understand.“Well,” said the shop-keep er, “if you buy only one hat of this style, I can make it easily. If you order two hundred hats of different styles, I can also manage the business without much difficulty.

The noise can be the sound of a jet airplane or machines in factories or loud music or other common sounds found at home or at work. A person only needs to hear the noise for a little more than one second to be affected. An American scientist has found that using aspirin can increase the temporary hearing loss or damage from loud noise. He did an experiment, using a number of male students at a university who all had normal hearing. He gave them different amounts of aspirin for different periods of time, and then he tested their hearing ability. He found that the students who were given four grams of aspirin a day for two days suffered much greater temporary hearing loss than those who did not use aspirin. The hearing loss was about two times as great. The scientist said millions of people in the United States use much larger amounts of aspirin than were used in the study. He said these people face a serious danger of suffering hearing loss from loud noise.71.Hearing damage or loss may be caused by .A.loud musicB. the sound of a jet airplane or machinesC. common sounds at home or at workD. all of the above72.The passage suggests that one's hearing .A.will be damaged even if he hears a loud noise for a little more than one secondB.will be damaged even if he hears a loud noise for a little less than one secondC.will not be damaged even if he hears a loud noise for a little more than one secondD.will not be damaged even if he hears a loud noise for a little less than one second73.According to this passage, we can draw a conclusion that aspirin .A.should never be taken more than four grams a dayB.makes hearing damage from noise worseC.decreases hearing damage by two timesD.should never be taken for more than two days/doc/ec953fab48fe04a1b0717fd5360cba1aa9118c70.html lions of Americans are in danger of suffering hearing loss from loud noise becausethey .A. take too much aspirinB. like listening to loud musicC. make loud noise at home and at workD. often take jet airplanes75.The scientist found from his experiment that a day for two days would affect a person's hearing.A. one gram of aspirinB. two grams of aspirinC. three grams of aspirinD. four grams of aspirinPassage FourAncient people had little idea of the nature of the earth's surface. But if they lived on the seashore, they knew that there was land and sea.People who lived near the sea noticed that there were two kinds of land. There were, first, little pieces of land surrounded by sea. One Latin word for “sea” is “salum”, which means “salt”. This is because sea water, unlike rain-water, contains salt—it is salty. So a piece of land in the sea was “in salt” in Latin, and this became isle in English.Then there was another kind of land that went on and on. It was “continuous land, and so became known as continent in English from the Latin “continēnts” meaning continuous. In English,we also speak of a continent as the mainland (“main” comes from the Latin “magnus” meaning “ great”), as opposed to island( isle-land).To the ancient Greek, there seemed to be three continents separated by sea. The Mediterranean Sea, in fact, gets its namefrom the Latin “medius” (middle) and “terra” (land). It was a sea that layin the middle, with three bodies of land around it. The three continents—Asia, Europe and Africa—are actually connected by land. Africa and Asia are connected by only the small Sinai Isthmus, from the Greek “isthmus” meaning “a narrow passage”, but Europe and Asia are connected by land for a thousand miles or more and it is customary to speak of Europe as a continent. Many geographers speak of the landmass of Asia plus Europe as Eurasia, and Eurasia plus Africa is sometimes called the World Island. The three together are surrounded by sea, so they form a large island, and they contain about 85 percent of the earth's population.76.People in ancient times knew .A.a lot about land and seaB. some continents were connectedC. little about the surface of the earthD. many people lived on the World Island77.The word “continent” comes from language.A.the LatinB. the RomanC. the GreekD. the Hebrew78.“Eurasia” is the name for the continents of .A.Europe and AsiaB. Europe and AfricaC. Africa and AsiaD. Europe, Asia and Africa79.What connects Asia and Africa?A.A small island.B. A large desert.C. A narrow passage.D. A wide land.80.About 85% of the population in the world are living .A.in EuropeB. in AsiaC. in EurasiaD. on the World IslandPart III. Translation (20 points)Directions: In this part, there is one passage in English. Read the passage carefully and translate it into Chinese. Learning English has been almost a painful experience for me, one that I wouldn’t trade for anything. Not only did learning English teach me the value of hard work, but also gave me insights( 领悟) into another culture. The most exciting result of having learned English is that I am able to communicate with many more people than before. Talking with people is my favorite activity, so the newly learned language allows me to meet new people, participate in conversations, and form new and unforgettable friendships.Part IV.

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 1After a day of work and play, the body needs to rest. Enough sleep is necessary for good health. During this time, the body recovers from the activities of the previous day. The rest that you get while sleeping enables your body to prepare itself for the next day.There are four levels of sleep, each being a little deeper than the one before. As you sleep, your muscles relax little by little. Your heart beats more slowly, and your brain slows down. After you reach the fourth level, your body shifts back and forth from one level of sleep to another.Although your mind slows down, from time to time you will dream. Scientists who study sleep state that when dreaming occurs, your eyeballs begin to move more quickly （Although your eyelids are closed ）.

We tend to blame TV, he says, for problems it doesn't really cause, overlooking our own roles in shaping children's minds.One traditional belief about television is that it reduces a child's ability to think and to understand the world. While watching TV, children do not merely absorb words and images （影像）.Instead, they learn both stated and implied meanings from what they see, Actually, children learn early the psychology of characters in TV shows. Furthermore, as many teachers agree, children understand far more when their parents watch TV with them, explaining new words and ideas. Yet, most parents use an educational program as a chance to sit their kids in front of the TV set and do something in another room.Another argument against television is that it replaces reading as a form of entertainment. But according to Anderson, the amount of time spent watching television is not related to reading ability. TV doesn't take the place of reading for most children; it takes the place of similar sorts of recreation, such as listening to the radio and playing sports. Things like parents' educational background have a stronger influence on a child's reading. ”A child's reading ability is best predicted by how m uch a parent reads/1 Anderson says.Traditional wisdom also has it that heavy television-watching lowers children's IQ scores and affects their school performance. But here, too, Anderson notes that no studies have proved it. In fact, research suggests that it's the other way around.11 If you're smart young, you'll watch less TV when you*re older/ Anderson says. Yet, people of lower IQ tend to be lifelong television viewers.Foryears, researchers have attempted to show that television is dangerous to children. However, by showing that television promotes none of the dangerous effects as conventionally 0专统土也）believed, Anderson suggests that television cannot be blamed without considering other influences.46.By watching TV, children learnA. images through wordsB. both stated and implied meaningsC. more about images than wordsD. little about people's psychology47.According to the passage, an educational program is best watched by childrenA. on their ownB. with other kidsC. with their parentsD. with their teachers48.Which of the following is most related to children's reading ability?A. Listening to the radio.B. Watching television.C. Parents1 reading list.D.

A woman drove up to the Rainbow Bridge tollbooth （收费站）.“ I'm paying for myself, and for the six cars-behind me/ she said with a smile. One after another, the next six drivers arriving at* the tollbooth were informed, "Some lady up ahead already you're your fare/' It turned out that the woman, Natalie Smith, had read something on a friend's refrigerator: n Practice random （随意的）kindness and senseless acts of beauty.'* The phrase impressed her so much that she copied it down.Judy Foreman spotted the same phrase on a warehouse wall far away from home When it stayed on her mind for days, she decided to drive all the way back to copy it down. "I thought it was beautiful/ she said, explaining why she would write it at the bottom of all her let ters, “like a message from above." Her husband, Frank, liked the phrase so much that he put it up on the classrOom.walkfor his students, one of whom was the daughter of Alice Johnson, a local news reporter. ~ Alice .put it in the newspaper, admitting that though she liked i.t, she did not know here it came from or what it really meant.Two days later, Alice got a call from Anne Herbert, a woman living in Matin. It was in a restaurant that Anne wrote the phrase down on a piece of paper, after turning it around in her mind for days."Here's the idea/1 Anne says. "Anything you think there should be more of, do it randomly/* Her fantasies include painting the classrooms of old schools, leaving hot meals on kitchen tables in the poor part of town, and giving money secretly to a poor old lady. Anne says, ”Kindness can build on itself as much as violence can/1The acts of random kindness spread. If you were one of those drivers who found your fare aid, who knows what you might have been inspired to do for someone else later. Like all great events, kindness begins slowly, with every single act. Let it be yours!51.Why did Natalie Smith pay for the six cars behind her?A.She knew the car drivers well.B.She wanted to show kindness.C.She hoped to please others.D.She had seven tickets.52.Judy Foreman copied down the phrase because sheA.thought it was beautifully writtenB.wanted to know what it really meantC.decided to write it on a warehouse wallD.wanted her husband to put it up in the classroom53.Who wrote the phrase down on a piece of paper according to the passage?A. Judy Foreman.B. Natalie Smith.C. Alice Johnson.D. Anne Herbert.54.Which of the following statements is closest in meaning to the underlined sentence in thepassage?A.Kindness and violence can change the world.B.Kindness and violence can affect people's behavior.C.Kindness and violence can reproduce themselves.D.Kindness and violence can shape people's character.55.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A.People should not practice random kindness to those in need.B.People who receive kindness are likely to offer it to others.C.People should not practice random kindness to strangers they meet.D.People who receive kindness are less likely to pay it back to the giver.Passage 4Peter loved to buy used articles. Almost a month ago, he bought a popular word game that used little pieces of wood with different letters on them. As he was purchasing it, the salesgirl said, "Uh, look, the game box hasn1t even been opened yet. That might be worth some money/'Peter examined the box, and sure enough, it was completely covered in factory-sealed plastic. He saw a date of 1973 on the back of the box."You should put that up for auction （拍卖）on the Internet, and see what happens/* the salesgirl said."Yes, you're right. People like something rare/' Peter agreed, n l can't imagine there being very any unopened boxes of this game still around 40 years later/*"Don't forget to tell me if you sell it,n the salesgirl smiled.”No problem/1 Peter said.After he got home, Peter went online to several auction websites looking for his game, but he could not find it. Then he typed in the name of the word game and hit SEARCH. The search result was 543 websites containing information about the changes of the game.

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 mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center .Passage OneThe ups and downs of life may seem to have no predictable plan. But scientists now know there are very definite patterns that almost all people share. Even if you've passed some of your "prime" ，you still have other prime years to experience in the future.When are you smartest? From 18 to 25, according to I. Q. score, but you're wiser and more experienced with increasing age.You're sharpest in your 20's. But your I. Q. for other tasks climbs. Your vocabulary at age 45, for example, is three times as great as when you graduated from college.At 60, your brain possesses almost four times as much information as it did at age 21.When are you happiest? You have the best physical sense of yourself from 15 to 24;the best professional sense from 40 to 44.Before age 24, we believe that our happiest years are yet to come; over 30, we believe that they're behind us. A National Health Survey agrees: After age 30, we become more realistic and do not view happiness as a goal in itself. If we maintain our health, achieve professional and emotional goals, happiness will follow.When are you most creative? Generally between 30 and 39, but the peak varies with different professions.Mozart wrote a symphony by age eight, and Mendelssohn composed his best known work at 17, but most of the great music was written by men between 33 and 44.Though the peak in most fields comes early, creative people continue to produce quality work throughout their lives. For the “wel l-conditioned mind”，there is no upper limit61.The expression prime years in Line 2, Paragraph 1 probably meansA. the age of ideal physical condition lieB. be early in time or orderC. the period of ideal or peak conditionD. the most special days62.At what age are you smartest, sharpest and with the best physical sense, according to the passage?A. From about 15 to 25.B.Over 30.C. From45 to 49.D. At 60.63.There are many ways to take happiness with us in our lives EXCEPT FORA. maintaining our healthB. achieving professional goalsC. achieving emotional goalsD. being smart and sharp64.From the last paragraph, we can learn that.A.for those creative people, there is no upper limit in lifeB.for most of us, the peak in most fields comes earlyC.the peak varies with different professionsD.how we can keep our creativeness65.The passage is mainly aboutA.the ups and downs of life may have no predictable planB.everyone has his or her prime years to experience again after the prime in his or her 20'sC.at what age you are smartest in your lifeD.at what age you are. happiest in your lifePassage TwoPeople today are still talking about the generation gap ( 代沟). Some parents complain that their children do not show them proper respect , while children complain that their parents do notunderstand them at all.What has gone wrong? Why has the generation gap appeared?One important cause is that young people want to choose their own lifestyle. In more traditional societies, when children grow up, they are expected to live in the same area as their parents, to marry people that their parents like and often to continue the family occupation.Parents often want their children to do better than they do, to find. better jobs, to make more money; the high expectation that parents place on their children is another cause of the generation gap.Finally, the high speed of social change deepens the gap. In a traditional culture,people are valued for their wisdom, but in our society today the knowledge of a lifetime may be outdated overnight (一夜之间).66.According to the passage, children today would like their parents to.A. give them more independenceB. choose a good job for themC. live together with themD. make more money67.Parents often hope that their children willA.make as much money as they doB.be more successful than they areC.choose jobs according to their own willD.avoid doing what their parents can't do.68.The generation gap has become wider than before because ofA.the increasing dependence of children on parentsB.the influence of traditional culture on childrenC.the rapid changes of modern societyD.the lack of lifelong occupation69.In today's society, the knowledge of a lifetimeA.is still very much valuedB.becomes out of date quicklyC.i s essential for continuing family occupationsD.helps the young generation to find a better job70.A proper title for this passage would beA.Parents Viewpoints on Generation GapB.Relationship Between Family MembersC.Generation Gap Between the Young and the OldD.Difference Between Traditional Culture and Modern KnowledgePassage ThreeNo one knows for sure why birds migrate ( 定期迁徙). One theory of migration says that ancient birds of the northern part of the earth were forced southward during the ice age, when ice covered large parts of Europe, Asia and North America. As the ice melted, the birds came back to their homelands, spent the summer. and then went south again in winter. Gradually, these comings and goings became habits. And bird snow migrate though much of the ice has gone.Another theory proposes' that the ancient home of all modern birds was the tropic areas. There they lived so well that the region became overcrowded. Many species had to move northward. During the summer, these birds found plenty of room and food. In winter, however , food became scarce and they had to return to the south.A newer theory is that increasing daylight stimulates certainglands（腺）in the bird's body and prepares it for migration. One scientist is able to make birds migrate in midwinter by exposing them for two months to artificial daylight. Recoveries of marked birds indicate that' they fly north as soon as theyare set free. The conclusion is that the urge to migrate is determined by changes in the bird's body which take place under seasonal changes in the length of daylight. This theory would account for the fact that not all birds migrate at the same time. Each species seems to have its own schedule. The theory would also account for the regular time and routes of migration. Birds arrive at a given place year after year. Unfavorable weather delays them only a few days. Total hours of daylight, rather than weather, start them on the way. How birds find their way to the same place year after year and why they follow their own particular route are still mysteries. They evidently do not follow known landmarks （地面标志）, for many young birds migrate alone without the help of experienced adults.71.We can conclude from the first paragraph thatA.during the ice age, the whole Europe was covered with iceB.the south used to be the homelands of all birdsC.scientists can confidently explain why birds migrate nowD.migration of birds can be explained by the change of ice on earth72.The birds mentioned in the third paragraph fly north in midwinter becauseA.they are specially trained by a scientistB.they are affected by seasonal changesC.there is a change in their body temperatureD.they are exposed to extra daylight73.The phrase " account for' (Line 2, Para. 4) most probablymeansA. indicateB. explain c. prove D. provide74.Which of the following can not be inferred from the passage?A.Birds do not migrate at the same time.B.Birds usually follow regular routes of migration.C.Each species has a special reason for migration.D.Birds migrate to their own particular places every year.75.The best title for the passage isA. Different Accounts of MigrationB. Migration and WeatherC. New Discovery of Bird MigrationD. Routes of Bird MigrationPassage FourIf you look for a book as a present for a child, you will be spoiled for choice even in a year when there is no new Harry Potter. J. K. Rowling's wizard is not alone; The past decade has been a harvest for good children's books, which has set off a large quantity of films and in turn led to increased sales of classics such as The Lord of the Rings.Yet despite that, reading is increasingly unpopular among children. According to statistics in 1997, 23% said they didn't like reading at all. In 2003, 35% did. And around 6% of children leave primary school each year unable to read properly.Maybe the decline is caused by the increasing availability of computer games. May-be the books boom has affected only the top of the educational pile. Either way, Chancellor Cordon Brown plans to change things for the bottom of the class. In his pre-budget report, he announced the national project of ReadingRecovery to help the children struggling most.Reading Recovery is aimed at six-year-olds, who receive four months of individual daily half-hour classes with a specially trained teacher. An evaluation earlier this year reported that children on the scheme made 20 months' progress in just one year, where as similarly weak readers without special help made just five months' progress, and so ended the year even further below the level expected for their age.International research tends to find that when British children leave primary school.they read well, but read less -often for fun than those elsewhere. Reading for fun matters because children who are keen on reading can expect lifelong pleasure and loving books is an excellent indicator of future educational success. According to the OECD,being a regular and enthusiastic reader is of great advantage.76.Which of the following is true of Paragraph 1?A.Many children's books have been adapted from films.B.Many high- quality children's books have been published.C.The sales of classics have led to the popularity of films.D.The sales of presents for children have increased.77.Statistics suggested thatA.the number of top students increased with the use of computersB.a decreasing number of children showed interest in readingC.a minority of primary school children read properlyD.a huge percentage of children read regular!y78.What do we know about Reading Recovery?A.An evaluation of it will be made sometime this year.B.Weak readers on the project were the most hardworking.C.It aims to train special teachers to help children withreading.D.Children on the project showed noticeable progress in reading.79.Reading for fun is important because book-loving children.A. take greater advantage of the projectB. show the potential to enjoy a long lifeC. are likely to succeed in their educationD. would make excellent future researchers80.The aim of this text would probably be toA.overcome the reading difficulty of primary school pupilsB.encourage the publication of more children's booksC.remind children of the importance of reading for funD.introduce a way to improve early childhood readingⅢ. Translation( 20 points)Directions: In this part, there is a short passage in English. Read it carefully and put it into Chinese.I think there is one main reason why people don't follow their dreams: fear.I think the first part is for people to realize that they can conquer their fear. You will fail at times and others will think you are crazy at times, but if you believe that you will succeed then you finally will. I understand that it is not easy. I am in the middle of going through it right now. But I understand that there are other people out there. who have been through what you are goingthrough and can help you greatly. They have failed,and come out on the other end extremely successful. They are living proof that you can do what you love.Ⅳ.

The noise can be the sound of a jet airplane or machines in factories or loud music or other common sounds found at home or at work. A person only needs to hear the noise for a little more than one second to be affected. An American scientist has found that using aspirin can increase the temporary hearing loss or damage from loud noise. He did an experiment, using a number of male students at a university who all had normal hearing. He gave them different amounts of aspirin for different periods of time, and then he tested their hearing ability. He found that the students who were given four grams of aspirin a day for two days suffered much greater temporary hearing loss than those who did not use aspirin. The hearing loss was about two times as great. The scientist said millions of people in the United States use much larger amounts of aspirin than were used in the study. He said these people face a serious danger of suffering hearing loss from loud noise.71. Hearing damage or loss may be caused by.A. loud musicB. the sound of a jet airplane or machinesC. common sounds at home or at workD. all of the above72.

The scientist found from his experiment that a day for two days would affect a person's hearing.A. one gram of aspirinB. two grams of aspirinC. three grams of aspirinD. four grams of aspirinPassage FourAncient people had little idea of the nature of the earth's surface. But if they lived on the seashore, they knew that there was land and sea.People who lived near the sea noticed that there were two kinds of land. There were, first, little pieces of land surrounded by sea. One Latin word for“ seais”“ salum ”,which means “ salt This”.is because sea water, unlike rain-water, contains salt— it is salty. So a piece of land in the sea was“ insalt ” in Latin, and this became isle in English.Then there was another kind of land that went on and on. It was “ continuousland, and sobecame known as continent in English from the Latin“ continē nts” meaning continuous. In we also speak of a continent as the mainland ( “ maincomes”from the Latin “ magnus”meaning“ great” ), as opposed to island(isle-land).To the ancient Greek, there seemed to be three continents separated by sea. The Mediterranean Sea, in fact, gets its name from the Latin “ medius(middle)” and “ terra (land)”. It was a sea that layin the middle, with three bodies of land around it. The three continents— Asia, Europe and Africa— are actually connected by land. Africa and Asia are connected by only the small Sinai Isthmus,from the Greek “ isthmus ” meaning “ a narrow passagebutEurope”and, Asia are connected by landfor a thousand miles or more and it is customary to speak of Europe as a continent. Manygeographers speak of the landmass of Asia plus Europe as Eurasia, and Eurasia plus Africa is sometimes called the World Island. The three together are surrounded by sea, so they form a large island, and they contain about 85 percent of the earth's population.76. People in ancient times knew .

Translation (20 points)Directions: In this part, there is one passage in English. Read the passage carefully and translate it into Chinese.Learning English has been almost a painful experience for me, one that I wouldn ’t tradefor anything.

Talking with people is my favorite activity, so the newly learned language allows me to meet new people, participate in conversations, and form new and unforgettable friendships.Part IV.
