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

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

Reading Comprehension（50分）阅读4片，样题提供前三篇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 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 audience…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 grammar 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. The point of the whole thing is to overcome your nervous inhibitions, to break through the invisible barrier that separates you from the person who’ll read what you 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.O f 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.”4l. 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 tospeak 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.w riting needs more experience and skill than publicspeakingB.b oth writing and public speaking require effortC.w riting is imaginativeD.p ublic speaking is not so natural as writing44. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A.N ot many students feel the need to learn publicspeaking.B.T raining is necessary before you can speak with script.C.I n public speaking, the audience are more nervousthan the speaker.D.W riting is just like making a public speech on paper.45. This selection is mainly about learning how to _______.A.m ake a public speechB.t alk on paperC.b ehave properly in public speechD.e xpress strong emotion on paperPassage TwoIn the modern technological world the sea offers many resources to help mankind survive. 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 , 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. SeaHarvest D. Sea Exploring Technology47. According to the author, technology for exploring the sea is important because______.A.m an cannot travel farther into spaceB.resources on land are running shortC.i t’s a lot of fun diving into the seaD. ancientpeople used to explore the sea48. Why does the author mention a steamship?A.To indicate that it is warmer in the ocean than onland.B.To show that a steamship is better than other kindsof ship.C.To argue that man should use steamships more thanother means of transportation.D.To illustrate that man can make use of sources ofenergy from the sea.49. It can be inferred from the passage that_______.A.man hasn’t completely developed the riches of theseaB.technology for exploring the sea has been solvedC.planting rice in the sea will be made possible in ashort 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. scatterPassage ThreeYour passport is your official identification as an American citizen. In America, 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 passport. A passport is the final proof of identity in almost every county in the world.In l979 almost l5 million Americans 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 youtravel abroad, you must have a valid passport to reenter 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. 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. Argentina, Brazil, and Venezuela now require visas from U.S. citizens. 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.

your favorite color?We are all sensitive to color.There are some colors we like a lot and some we don't like at all.Some colors comfort us,others excite us,some make us happy,and others make us sad.People are affected by color more than they realize because color is tied to all aspects of our lives.Experts in colorogenic,the study of the language of color,believe that the colors we wear say a lot about us.Do you know why you select a shirt or dress of a certain color when you look through your c lothes in the morning?Colorogenic experts say that we unconsciously choose to wear certain colors in order to communicate our desires,emotions,and needs.Colorogenic experts claim that our clothes send messages to others about our mood,personality,a nd desires.Pink expresses the peace and contentment of the wearer.People who often wear pink are s upposed to be warm and understanding.The message is that you would like to share your peace and ha ppiness with others.Red garments,on the other hand,indicate a high level of physical energy.People who wear red like to take life at a fast pace.Brown is the color of wealth,and it shows a need for indep endence and material security.Wearers of green have a love of nature and enjoy peaceful moments.Th ey often like to be left alone with their thoughts.Although colorogenic may be a recent area of study,a ssociating colors with emotions is not new.Colors have always been used to describe not only our feeli ngs but also our physical health and attudes."Red with rage describes anger;in the pink means to be in good health;feeling blue is a sad way to feel;and"green with envy indicates a jealous attude.In conclusion,the study of color can help us to understand ourselves and to improve our lives.It o ffers an alternative way to heal the body and spirit,and it can help us understand what others are trying to communicate.61.Why are people affected by color more than they realize?A.colors make people more sensitive.B.colors bring people different feelings.C.colors are everywhere in people's lives.D.colors give people excitement.答案：C62.According to the passage,_____.A.people wear different colors to

purposely.答案：D63.The underlined word"contentment"in Para3means"___"in Chinese.A.满意B.目录C.内容D.容量答案：A64.From the passage,people____want to share peace and happiness.A.who wear green clothesB.who wear pink clothesC.who wear blue clothesD.who wear white clothes答案：B65.Why is the study of color useful in our life?A.Because it helps us to express our ideas more clearly.B.Because it helps us to control our emotions and desires.C.Because it helps us to feel happier and more excited.D.Because it helps us to understand ourselves and others.答案：DPassage TwoRoger Sperry and Robert Einstein of the California Institute of Technology won a Nobel Prize in1 972.They discovered that the 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 s ide 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 iswell-known that Albert Einstein,as a great scientist,also enjoyed art,playing the violin and sailing.Ei nstein said his scientific discoveries grew from his imagination rather than from analysis,reason and la nguage.He said that written and spoken words were not important in his thinking.He got ideas by usin g his imagination.He then used the left side of brain to use analysis,number and reason and then he us ed language to explain it.Usual education in schools encourages us to use the left side of our nguage,number,ana lysis and reason 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 our imaginations to think of solution s 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

must read letters,reports,trade publications,interoffice communications,not to mention newspapers and ma gazines:a never-ending flood of words.In getting a job or advancing in one,the ability to read and co mprehend 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 a ge,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 u ntrained reader does not read groups of words.He reads one word at a time,often regressing to rereadwords 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 ei ther 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 t han 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,comprehensi on is sacrificed for speed.But when you learn to read ideas,you will not only read faster,but your com prehension will improve.Many people have found their reading skills improved a lot after some trainin g.71.According to the passage,today many people no longer read forA.newsB.their workrmationD.entertainment答案：D72.Most people can't read and comprehend quickly mainly becauseА.they don't read groups of wordsB.they don't like to be trained in reading skillsC.they don't realize they have poor reading habitsD.they don't understand words when put together答案：A73.The following are all bad reading habits EXCEPTA.regressionB.reading for ideas onlyC.vocalizationD.word-by-word reading答案：B74.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 habits.D.It lets people look back over what they have just read.答案：C75.What does“At first,comprehension is sacrificed for speed”(Para.2,Sentence4)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 slowly,but he doesn't understand everything he reads.D.The reader reads fast without understanding everything he reads.答案：DPassage FourWhen the dog named Judy saw the first sheep in her life,she did what came naturally.The four-ye ar-old dog set off racing after the sheep across several fields and,being a city animal,lost both her shee p and her sense of direction.Then she ran along the edge of the cliff(ằ)and fell100feet,jumping off a rock into the sea.Her owner Mike Holden was worried and called the coastguard of Cornwall,who appeared in sec onds.Six volunteers went down the cliff with the help of a rope but gave up all hope of finding her aliv e after a90-minute search.Three days later,a hurricane hit the coast near Cornwall.Mr.Holden returned home from his holi day upset,believing his pet was dead.He comforted himself with the thought she had died in the most beautiful part of the country.For the next two weeks,the Holdens were heartbroken.Then,one day,the phone rang and Steve T regear,the coastguard of Cornwall,asked Holden if he would like his dog back.A birdwatcher,using a telescope,found the pet sitting on a rock.While he sounded the alarm,a student from Leeds climbed down the cliff to pick up Judy.The dog had been knocked unconscious(失去知觉的)but had survived by drinking water from a fresh stream 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 Tre gear said,It was a very lucky dog.She survived because of the fresh water around,"he added.It was,as Mr.Holden admitted,"a miracle(奇迹)".76.The dog Judy fell down the cliff when she was____.A.rescuing her ownerB.caught in a hurricaneC.blocked by a rockD.running after a sheep答案：D77.Who spotted Judy after the accident?A.A birdwatcherB.A student from LeedsC.Six volunteersD.The

is reasonable to face them.No one expects disast ers,but if they come,they are there,and we must accept them as they are.In this way,it might be easie r for us to recover from the shock they bring to us.Secondly,we should concentrate on what we can do to relieve the bad effect of the disaster.We can't undo what is done,but we can make things a little better with our effort.Finally,in the face of disaster,we should help each ot her and try to make up for the losses caused by them.答案：我们该如何应对灾难?首先，我认为面对他们是合理的。

A man goes shopping because he needs something definitely. His purpose is settled and decided in62. He knows what he wants，and his63 isto find it and get it. Almost all men simply walk into a shop and ask the assistant for their needs if they are not in a supermarket. If the shop has them in 64, the deal can be made in less than five minutes，with65 any chat andto everyone’s satisfaction.For a man，slight problems may begin when the shop does not have66 he wants.
