AThe health of millions could be at risk because supplies of medicinal plants are being used up. These plants are used to make traditional medicine, including drugs to fight cancer. “The loss of medicinal plants is a quiet disaster,” says Sara Oldfield, secretary general of the NGO Botanic Gardens Conservation International.Most people worldwide rely on herbal (药草制的) medicines which are got mostly from wild plants. But some 15,000 of the 50,000 medicinal species are under threat of dying out, according to report from the international conservation group Plantlife. Shortages have been reported in China, India, Kenya, Nepal, Tanzania and Uganda.Over-harvesting does the most harm, though pollution and competition from invasive species (入侵物种) and habitat destruction all contribute. “Businessmen generally harvest medicinal plants, not caring about sustainability (可持续性),” the Plantlife report says, “damage is serious partly because they have no idea about it, but it is mainly because such collection is unorganized.” Medicinal trees at risk include the Himalayan yew (紫衫) and the African cherry, which are used to treat some cancers.The solution, says the report’s author, Alan Hamilton, is to encourage local people to protect these plants. Ten projects studied by Plantlife in India, Pakistan, China, Nepal, Uganda and Kenya showed this method can succeed. In Uganda, the project has kept a sustainable supply oflow-cost cancer treatments, and in China a public-run medicinal plant project has been createdfor the first time.”Array“Improving health, earning an income and keeping cultural traditions are important in encouraging people to protect medicinal plants,” says Hamilton, “You have to pay attention to what people are interested in.”Ghillean Prance, the former director of the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew in London, agrees that medicinal plants are in need of protection. “Not nearly enough is being done,” he told New Scientist. “We are destroying the very plants that are of most use to us.”1、From the first two paragraphs, we can learn that ________.A．millions of people are threatened with-cancerB．most countries see a shortage of herbal medicinesC．about two thirds of medicinal species will disappearD．a number of medicinal species are in danger of extinction2、The major factor that causes the decreasing of supplies of medicinal plants is ________. A．pollution B．habitat destructionC．over-harvesting D．invasive species3、The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refers to ________.A．over-harvesting B．sustainabilityC．other species’ invasion D．pollution4、What can be inferred from the passage?A．Protecting medicinal plants has a long way to go.B．Ghillean Prance is optimistic about medicinal plants’ future.C．Local people don’t know how to protect medicinal plants.D．China has made great progress in protecting medicinal plants.5、Which of the following is the best title of the passage?A．Low-cost Cancer TreatmentB．The Importance of SustainabilityC．Medicinal Plants on Verge of ExtinctionD．Sustainable Development of the EnvironmentB223、Which part may be the last choice for travelling in August?

大学英语泛读期末考试试题及答案1 ( 1 )(1 )George's case is not unique. In the last fifteen or twenty years, quite a number of men and women have chosen to drop out of the working world to try a different kind of life. Most of them are in their thirties and forties, often well educated, although all ages and backgrounds can be found among them. A variety of reasons have led them to give up their work and the security it provided. Some, like George, have given up a career that was demanding too much from them. Others couldn't stand the pressure and the competition. A thirty-five-year-old woman, who had a high position in her company, decided to leave when she found herself suffering from allergies that made her life miserable. She had two children and no savings; but even her anxiety about the future couldn't spoil her feeling of relief and her new peace of mind. Her health improved. She may never work again; if she does, she says that she will take small temporary jobs.Some people, on the contrary, have quit jobs that were boring or meaningless to them. An office employee who has been pushing papers (has been doing paperwork) for years may start wondering whether those papers are achieving anything. An engineer in a large company, aware that he could be replaced by any man with the same training, may come to feel unimportant as an individual. Such people leave their work in the hope of finding stronger interests and a sense of personal worth.There are also people who leave their work to fulfill an old dream, such as writing books, painting, sailing to remote islands, or growing fruit trees. An army officer left the service at thirty-eight to build doll houses, and another one, who had always been interested in archaeology,（考古学）did the same at forty-five to dig ancient Indian sites. His wife was delighted-instead of keeping house, she was going to satisfy her own dream of learning to make paper.But most of the men and women who drop out of the working world have no special interest and no desire to take up any occupation. They want only to enjoy their freedom, their independence, and their leisure. No more rushing to catch a morning train, no more commuter（通勤者）traffic, no more anxiety to please a boss, no more meetings, no more obligations to behave and dress according to the rules. This endless vacation does not necessarily bring happiness; many of those who have chosen it as a style of life admit that leisure, too, can become boring. But they still prefer it to their former existence(But they like it more than working for a living). The main problem remains the lack of financial security, for, with few exceptions, the "dropouts"（退出世俗社会的人）are not wealthy. And so they survive by selling their possessions, by borrowing from friends and family, and by taking an odd job(a small temporary job) now and then for a short time when it becomes absolutely necessary.Sam would never have understood their attitude. In the first place, he had never been unhappy with his occupation, and he had never felt any conflict between his work and his personal life. Neither had he ever dreamed of doing anything but selling groceries and chatting with Fred. And there was yet another factor. Today's dropouts can always find some small job to do when they are in need of money, or perhaps they can get unemployment compensation（补偿）from the government for a while. But Sam had lived through the 1930s, when work of any type was almost impossible to find. In those days a job, no matter how unpleasant or poorly paid, was a man's most precious possession. Losing it was a disaster; not looking for another one, a shame. As for not wanting to work at all, it was unthinkable, for society was not used to loafers（流浪者）then. A nonworking family man would have lost the respect of his friends and his place in the community of responsible men.George might have tried to explain to his father the new point of view, to tell him that people have a right to be free, independent, and to watch birds all day if they want to. But he would not have convinced Sam, for whom independence and leisure were luxuries that had to be deserved through hard work. Sam himself had enjoyed a vacation once in a while, and he had been happy to rest in the sun without his tie. But that was only because, having earned his fun, he could enjoy it with a good conscience（良心）.It would have shocked Sam to learn that those "shameless" people who choose to live in unearned idleness （懒惰）have a good conscience too.1. In the last fifteen or twenty years, people like George have chosento drop out of the working world because _____.A. they have earned enough money to spend for the rest of their livesB. they are not well paid at workC. they want to live a more leisurely lifeD. all of them have work that is too demanding2. After leaving her position the thirty-five-year-old woman felt _____.A. relieved and peaceful, though worried about her securityB. bored, without friends and companionsC. that she needed another jobD. the pressures and burdens of life3. According to the text, people would probably not drop out of the work force if they _____.A. often worry about their workB. work without any complaintsC. find it very easy to do their jobsD. don't mind being controlled by others4. According to Sam, a man's value lies in _____.A. reaching a higher position in societyB. enjoying full freedom and independenceC. working hard and having a good relationship with his communityD. earning money and sending his children to colleges and universities5. Which of the following statements might cause Sam and George to argue?A. To be either a shopkeeper or a geologist will give one satisfaction.B. Happiness can be obtained only through hard work.C. Dropouts live a happier life than anyone else.D. Dropouts live a miserable life if they have no financial security.( 2 )When young people get their first real jobs, they may face a lot of new, confusing situations. They may find that everything is different from the way things were at school. It is also possible that they will feel uncomfortable and insecure in both professional and social situations. Eventually, they realize that university classes can't be the only preparation for all of the different situations that arise in the working world.Perhaps the best way to learn how to behave in the working world is to identify a worker you admire and observe his behavior. In doing so, you will be able to see what it is that you admire in this person. For example, you will observe how he acts in a crisis. Perhaps even more important, you will be able to see what is his approach to day-to-day situations.While you are observing your colleague, you should be asking yourself whether his behavior is like yours and how you can learn from his responses to a variety of situations. By watching and learning from a model, you will probably begin to identify and adopt good working habits.1. The young people just graduated from school may not behave well in the working world, because _____.A. what they learned in university classes is not adequate for their new lifeB. they are not well educatedC. the society is too complicated to adapt toD. they failed to work hard at school2. In the last line of the first paragraph, the word "arise" means _____.A. bring aboutB. come into beingC. occur toD. cause to happen3. The best way to learn how to behave in the working world is _____.A. to find a worker and follow him closelyB. to find a person you admire and make friends with himC. to find a person you respect and watch carefully how he acts in different situationsD. to make the acquaintance of a model you admire4. In the last line of the second paragraph, the word "approach" means_____.A. means of enteringB. speaking to someone for the first timeC. way of coming nearer toD. manner of doing something5. The passage could be best entitled _____.A. "Learn from a Model"B. "Learn, Learn and Learn Again"C. "Learn Forever"D. "One Is Never Too Old to Learn"01级泛读期末试题(B 卷)1、fill in the brackets with the words given below the passage.Kenneth and Isabel were both South African –born . They got married in London .

It was cut long, so that it would let in as much light as possible, and narrow, to keep out the bad weather. However, the slit let in more wind than light. This is why it was called "the wind's eye." The word window itself comes from two Old Norse words for wind and eye.Before windows were used, the ancient halls and castles of northern Europe and Britain were dark and smoky. Their great rooms were high, with only a hole in the roof to let out the smoke from torches and cooking fires.As time went on, people wanted more light and air in their homes. They made the wind's eyes wider so as to admit air and light. They stretched canvas of tapestry across them to keep out the weather.1. The first window was a _____.A. large hole in the wallB. hole covered with canvasC. slit in the wallD. slit with a piece of paper over it2. The word window meant _____.A. opening to look throughB. light givenC. windD. wind's eye3.

It seems true that the larger, canvas-covered windows _____.A. were not as good as the first windowsB. let in more light and kept out more windC. did not let any air inD. were as good as today's windows( 3 )It was once believed that a person was in great danger when he sneezed-people imagined that the soul could escape from the body at the moment of sneezing. "God bless you" was a prayer for assistance in keeping the soul where it belonged.The German word Gesundheit (good health) is a variation of this prayer; the Irish deiseal and the Italian felicita are similar prayers. The Hindus say a word that means "live," and when a Mohammedan sneezes, he praises God.The Zulus of South Africa, far from being afraid of sneezes, believe that a sneeze signifies a friendly spirit's blessing. Whenever a child sneezes, they shout "Grow!" hoping the friendly spirit that stimulated the sneeze will help the child grow tall and strong. The ancient Hebrews also believed that a sneeze was good-a sneeze indicates life; the dead never sneeze.The Japanese say that if you sneeze once, someone is saying good things about you; if you sneeze twice, bad things are being said about you; if you sneeze three times, you have caught a cold.1. People once thought that anyone who sneezed was _____.A. sickB. in dangerC. in good healthD. evil2. "God bless you" was said in order to _____.A. make children grow tall and strongB. insure good healthC. keep the soul in the bodyD. prevent someone from saying evil things about the sneezer3. Gesundheit is a sneezing prayer most like _____.A. the Zulu prayerB. "God bless you"C. the Japanese prayerD. a warning4. The Zulus believe that sneezing is caused by _____.A. a good spiritB. a bad spiritC. illnessD. children5. It would be reasonable to conclude that _____.A. many people say prayers when they sneezeB. a prayer keeps the soul where it belongsC. all peoples were afraid of sneezesD. the moment of sneezing is very dangerousGiven words:[A ] for [B] question [C] colored [D] returning [E] officals [F] arrived [G] marriage [H] lived[I] allow [J] back2、Choose the best answer to each question。

Young women enjoy wearing stylish clothes. They also enjoy being taller while they are wearing these shoes.But doctors are not very happy with the platform shoes. Foot specialists report that many women hurt their feet by wearing them. These specialists say that if you turn your ankle when wearing a normal shoe, the foot can easily return to its regular position. However, if you fall while walking on a high platform shoes, your foot may turn so far that you will break a bone in the foot or ankle. There is also a possibility that these shoes cause backaches. Many platform shoes have high heels, and women who wear them say that these shoes sometimes make them feel tired. (It has been found that people use more energy when walking on high-heeled shoes.)Because the platforms are very thick and stiff, these shoes could cause into accidents. The driver might not be able to feel thedifference between the brake and the accelerator (加速器). Also, if the platforms are very high, and if the driver has to stop the car quickly, she might not be able to move her foot to the brake in time.2Women are not alone in wearing platform shoes.

The main purpose of this passage is ____________.A. to introduce a new styleB. to forbid people to wear high platform shoesC. to warn people about the dangers of wearing high platform shoesD. to call a new reform on stylePassage two The High Cost of LivingMany families in the United States have a larger income now thanever before, but people are finding it difficult to make ends meet anyway. Almost everyone is wondering, “ what happens to all my money? I never seem to have anything left to put away.”Why isn’t a dollar worth as much as it used to be? One dollar is always worth the same amount, that is, 100 cents. But the value of a dollar is how much it can buy. The value of money depends on the cost of living. Economists say that the cost of living is the money that afamily must pay for the necessities of life such as food, housing or rent, clothes, and medical expenses. For many years now, the cost of living has increased greatly, so the value of the dollar has decreased. When a dollar has a low value, you cannot buy as many things with it.No one fully understands why the cost of living keeps increasing but economists believe that workers and producers can make prices go up. Asworkers earn more money, they have more money to spend, so they demand more good. If there is a great demand for certain goods, the prices of these goods go up. At the same time, if there’s a shortage of goods, the prices also go up.For example, if everyone wants to buy more and more gas, the price of gas goes up. When companies withhold gas from buyers, they can also make the price of gas go up.Families need to know what happens to their money. They need to make their income meet cost3of living, so many people plan a family budget. A budget is a list of monthly expenses. If your expenses add up to more than your income, you must find ways to save money. Maybe you’re spending too much on entertainment. Or if you’re spending too much on clothes, you may w ant to sew your own clothes. Budgeting helps you spend your money wisely as the cost of living increases.6. What has troubled many families in the United States?A. a not-large-enough incomeB. nothing is left over to put awayC. the increasing cost of livingD. a shortage of certain goods7. _______ determines the value of the dollar?A.

Budgeting helps _______.A. one to make his income meet the cost of livingB. the government to battle the rising cost of livingC. merchants to produce more goodsD. the workers to earn more moneyPassage three Teachers and ActorsTo be a good teacher, you need some of the gifts of a good actor: you must be able to hold the attention and interest of your audience; you must be a clear speaker, with a good, strong, pleasing voice which is fully under your control; and you must be able to act what you are teaching, in order to make its meaning clear.Watch a good teacher and you will see that he does not sitmotionless before his class: he stands the whole time he is teaching; he walks about, using his arms, hands and fingers to help him in his explanations, and his face to express feelings. Listen to him, and you will hear the loudness, the quality and the musical note of his voice always changing according to what he is talking about.The fact that a good teacher has some of the gifts of a good actor doesn’t mean that he will indeed be able to act well on the stage, for there are very important diffe rences between the teacher’s work and the actor’s. the actor has to speak words which he has learnt by hear; he has to repeat exactly the same words each time he plays a certain part, even his movements and the ways4in which he uses his voice are usually fixed beforehand. What he has to do is to make all these carefully learnt words and actions seemnatural on the stage.A good teacher works in quite a different way. His audience takes an active part in his play: they ask and answer questions, they obey orders, and if they don’t understand something, they say so. The teacher therefore has to suit his act to the needs of his audience, which is his class. He cannot learn his part by heart, but must invent it as he goes along.I have known many teachers who were fine actors in class but were unable to take part in a stage play because their brains wouldn’t keep discipline: they could not keep strictly to what another had written.11. What is the text about?A. how to become a good teacherB. what a good teacher should do outside the classroomC what teachers and actors could learn from each otherD .the similarities and differences between a teacher’s work and an actor’s12. In what way is a teacher’s work different from an actor’s?A. The teacher must learn everything by heart.B. The teacher knows how to control his voice better than an actor.C. The teacher has to deal with unexpected situations.D. The teacher has to use more facial expressions.13. The main difference between students in class and a theatre audience is that____. A. students can move around in the classroomB. students must keep silent while theatre audience needn’tC. no memory work is needed for the studentsD. the students must take part in their teachers’ plays14. A go od teacher’s voice ______.A. should be clear and fully under his controlB. should not be too loud or too lowC. should be fixed before he goes to classD. all of the above15. Which of the following is true?A. A teachers have to learn by heart what they are going to say in class.B. A teacher cannot decide beforehand what exactly he is going to say in class.C. A teacher must speak louder than an actor.D. A teacher must have a better memory than an actor.Passage four Will It Matter if I Skip Breakfast?If you have to miss one meal a day ( or if you want to do so), which meal will cause you fewest health problems if you don’t eat it? If they have to make a decision of this type, most people(especially dieters or very busy people) will choose to skip breakfast.However, many experts in the field of health consider breakfast( the meal which “ breaks” your “fast” which started the night before) to be the most important meal of the day. If we eat a good breakfast, they say, we will have the energy and nutrients we need to begin our working day with vigor and hopefully with good humor. Nevertheless, many people skip breakfast or substitute a donut and a cup of coffee for a well-balanced meal. What happens if we ignore the importance of5breakfast?One recent study conducted in the United States tested a large number of people. Participants included both males and females who ranged in age from 12 to 83. during the experiment, these people weregiven a variety of breakfasts, and sometimes, they had to skip breakfast completely. Special tests, including blood tests and endurance tests, were set up to analyze how well the participants’ bodies functioned when they had eaten a certain kind of breakfast.The results showed that if a person eats an adequate breakfast, heor she will work more efficiently and more productively than if he or she skips breakfast or eats a very poor breakfast. This fact appears to be especially true if a person’s work involves mental activity. The study showed that if schoolchildren eat fruit, eggs, bread, and milk before going to school, they will learn more quickly and will be able to concentrate on their lessons for a longer period of time than if their breakfast diet is inadequate.The study also showed that, contrary to what many people believe, if you skip breakfast, you will not lose weight. This is because people become so hungry if they skip breakfast that they eat too much for lunch and end up gaining weight instead of losing. So remember, if you are on a diet, skipping breakfast will not help you. You will probably lose more weight if you reduce your other meals.16. In the word “breakfast”, “fast” probably means_______.A. “ moving quickly”B. “going without food”C. “unlikely to go fast”D. “fast food”17. Many experts in the field of health think _________.A. that one must miss one meal a dayB. that most people should skip breakfastC. that to skip one meal a day is no good for one’s healthD. that breakfast is most important in a working day18. According to the passage those participation in the experiment___________. A. were all adultsB. were males of different agesC. were both teenagers and grown-upsD. were mostly young people under 2019. Special tests were set up to analyze how the partic ipants’ bodies functioned when____________.A. they had skipped breakfastB. they had had breakfastC. they had eaten particular breakfastsD. they had had all three meals20. We can safely say ___________.A. if you skip breakfast, you will not lose weight at allB. if you skip breakfast, you won’t eat much for lunch eitherC. skipping breakfast does a lot of harmD. skipping breakfast will help one lose weight6Passage FiveThe elephant is the only animal in the world with a trunk. It usesits trunk in many ways. It pulls leaves off trees with its trunk andthen put them into its mouth. It can even use its trunk to pull up trees when it wants to make a path through the jungle. It also uses its trunk to get water. The trunk can hold a lot of water, as an elephant needs to drink more than three hundred pints of water every day.When an elephant is angry, its trunk can be very dangerous. Thetrunk of an elephant is really its front teeth. People pay a lot of money for the ivory of an elephant’s trunk. In Africa, men have hunted elephants for their trunks. The ivory from the trunk is made into many beautiful things. It has been easy for men to train elephantsin Asia. They use elephants to carry heavy things for long distances.Many people say that the kings of Siam used to give white elephantsto people they did not like. These white elephants were scattered and they could not be made to work. They could not be killed or given away.A person who owned a white elephant had to pay a lot of money to keep itproperly. After a certain time, he usually became very poor. Nowadays people in England call a useless thing “a white elephant”.21. Which of the following is NOT true about the usage of an elephant’s trunk?A. It uses its trunk to pull leaves off trees to eat.B. It uses its trunk to make a path through the jungle.C. It uses its trunk to fight.D. It uses its trunk to get water to drink.22.

Another theory is that shy people never learned how to act with other people because no one ever taught them social skills. The third theory says that shy people learned to be shy when they were children because their parents didn’t encourage them to be more confident . The parents probably comforted them and gave them extra attention when they acted shy, so the children learned that being shy was a good way to get extra love and attention.. Now researchers say that apparently all three theories are true.Can shy people change their behavior ? Sometimes they can force them selves to do things that are different .” Practice makesperfect..” If they practice enough, the difficult situations become easier. However , it takes a lot of courage to do this.People who have more self-confidence can notice when people are shy and encourage them to talk and praise them when they are successful in their job or studies.Shy people feel miserable much of the time. Others can help them feel more comfortable.Decide whether each of the following statements is true or false.____ 1. One theory says that people are shy because nobody taught them social skills.____2. It takes a little effort for shy people to change their behavior.____3. Shy people need praise and encouragement .____4.

Even the busiest government official or executive always takes extra time to be polite and offer refreshments. No matter how busy you are, you should make time for this hospitality.“ The conference visit” is a way of doing business throughout the Arab world.3... Frequently, you will have to discuss your business in the presence of strangers, who may or may not have anything to do with your business. Do not be surprised if your meeting is interrupted several times by people who come into the room unannounced, whisper, or speak softly to the person with whom you are talking, and leave. Act as though you do not hear, and never show displeasure at being interrupted.Making decision quickly is not an Arab custom. There is a vagueness in doing business in the Middle East which will puzzle a newcomer. Give yourself lots of time and ask lots of questions.Patience is an important quality. You may have to wait two or three days to see high- level government officials as they are verybusy. Give yourself enough time.Personal relationships are very important. They are the key to doing business in Arab countries. 4. Try to identify the decision –maker regarding your product or service immediately and get to know him on a friendly basis. Do your homework.. Be prepared to discuss details of your product or proposal. Be ready to answer technical questions.Decide whether each of the following statements is true or false.7._________ Arabs consider it good manners to start talking business immediately.8._________ The “ conference visit” means that peo ple discuss business in front of strangers.9.._________ Making decisions quickly is an Arab custom.10._________ Personal relationships are very important in doing business in Arab countries.Passage FourWhy do people blush? Not much research has been done on it. Psychologists say that people of all skin colors blush. Women blush more than men, and young people blush more than older people. Some people blush only a few seconds, but the blush can appear and disappear for five or ten minutes in other people. Usually only the face or upper part of the body blushes.Blushing is related to general anxiety, when people feel worried and nervous about what is going to happen. Some people blush because they are always worried about what others think of them. They do n’t have any confidence in themselves. They think other people are more attractive and more popular . They believe others have more knowledge . They become very uneasy if they have to deal with people from a different socialbackground, or if they have to work with more intelligent or more skilled people.5. Shy people get very anxious when they don’t know how to act in some situations that other people think are just ordinary. They feel inferior and want to get out of the situation.11.. Shy people blush because___________.A. they are worried about othersB. they are worried about what others think of them.设技术包含线设完毕案以与相关技术作，来采用高C. they have special skin colors12. Shy people have a strong sense of the following except_________.A. inferiorityB. anxietyC. confidencePassage FiveIn 1968 the city of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, had a problem. The city's school system needed a new school building and teachers but did not have the money to pay for this multi million-dollar project. City officials solved the problem in a unique way. They decided to use the many scientific and cultural institutions in the city as the classrooms. Experts who worked in the various institutions would be the teachers. Among these institutions were such prestigious names as the Franklin Institute, with its science museum, workshops, and classes; the Free Library, containing nearly a million volumes; the Academy of Natural Sciences, Fels Planetarium, and the Rodin Museum.The experiment in education, known as the Parkway Program, began in February 1969. John Bremer, an Englishman and education innovator, planned the program and became itsdirector.The Program has grown in size from 142 to 500 high school students and is so popular that thousands of applicants are denied places each year. The Program gives a freedom to high school education never known before. To supplement basic courses required for a diploma languages, history, science m students may choose from more than a hundred other courses. Any subject will be offered if an instructor can be found. Every group of 15 boys and girls belongs to a "tutorial group", led by a teacher and one assistant. Students in the Program say that school is no longer a place but an interesting activity.About 100 institutions in Philadelphia m public, private, commercial m help the Program. During any one week students may be found in such diverse places as a bakery, a church or the municipal gas plant. Such places merely provide space for classrooms. Other institutions such as the University of Pennsylvania or the Temple University Medical School allow the Program's own faculty to teach in their laboratories or other facilities. Other establishments provide both classroom space and instruction. One pharmaceutical-manufacturing company, for example, conducts a chemistry course.In addition to their studies, students are encouraged to take part-time jobs. "The life of the city is our curriculum," says Director Bremer. "Life and learning are all part of the same process.” Learning is excitement in this experimental program but it is not meant for every child. The student must be able to handle the freedom and self-discipline that the Program demands for academic successChoose the best answer:13... What was the problem Philadelphia had in 1968?a. Its school system needed a new school building.b. More teachers were needed for its school system.c. It lacked money for its educational project.d. Both a and b.14..

Soon afterward his parents moved to Killingworth, Connecticut. When John was six, both his parents died. A kind-hearted aunt in North Killingworth agreed to take John and give him a home. Hewas brought up by her and lived in her homeuntil he left to study for the ministry.His aunt took seriously iii and feared she was about to die. In great distress she wrote John T odd aletter in which she asked him to tell her what death would be like.Here is the letter he sent in reply:It is now thirty-five years since I, as a little boy of six, was left quite alone in the world. You sent meword you would give me a home and be a kind mother to me. I have never forgotten the day when I madethe long journey of ten miles to your house in North Killingworth. I can still recall my disappointmentwhen, instead of coming for me yourself, you sent your servant James to fetch me.I well remember my tears and anxiety as, perched high on your horse and clinging tight to James, Irode off to my new home. Night fell before we finished the journey, and as it grew dark I becamelonely and afraid. "Do you think she'll go to bed before we get there?" I asked James anxiously. "Oh, no,"he said reassuringly. "She'll stay up for you. When we get out of these woods you'll see her candleshining in the window."Presently we did ride out into the clearing, and there, sure enough, was your candle. I re memberyou were waiting at the door, that you put your arms close about me and that you lifted me--a tired and bewildered little boy -- down from the horse. You had a fire burning on the hearth, a hot supper waitingon the stove. After supper you took me to my new room, heard me say my prayers, and then sat besideme until I fell asleep.You probably realize why [ am recalling all this to your memory. Some day soon God will send foryou, to take you to a new home. Don't fear the summons, the strange journey, or the dark messenger ofdeath who will fetch you. God can be trusted to do as much for you as you were kind enough to do forme so many years ago. At the end of the road you will find love and a welcome waiting, and you will besafe in God's care. I shall watch you and pray for you till you are out of sight, and then wait for the daywhen I shall make the same journey myself and find you waiting at the end of the road to greet me.Choose the best answer:18..

Each passage is followed byfive questions or unfinished statements. For each question, there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should choose the best answer. Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage 1Every animal is a living radiator — heat formed in its cells is given off through its skin. Warm-blooded animals maintain a steady temperature by constantly replacing lost surface heat; smaller animals, which have more skin for every ounce of body weight, must produce heat faster than bigger ones. Because smaller animals burn fuel faster, scientists say they live faster.The speed at which an animal lives is determined by measuring the rate at which it uses oxygen. A chicken, for example, uses one-half cubic centimeter of oxygen every hour for each gram it weighs. The tiny shrew uses four cubic centimeters of oxygen every hour for each gram it weighs. Because it uses oxygen eight times as fast, it is said that the mouse-like shrew is living eight times as fast as the chicken. The smallest of the warm-blooded creatures, the hummingbird, lives a hundred times as fast as an elephant.There is a limit to how small a warm-blooded animal can be. A mammal or bird that weighed only two and a half grams would starve to death. It would burn up its food too rapidly and would not be able to eat fast enough to supply more fuel.1.The passage says that every animal is a living radiator because it_____.A. produces heat in its body cellsB. burns fuel to produce heatC. sends out heat from its bodiesD. requires oxygen to produce heat2.Warm-blooded animals maintain a steady temperature by_____.A. restoring heat continuallyB. storing heat in their body cellsC. regulating the amount of heat producedD. regulating the amount of heat given off3.The amount of oxygen an animal uses depends on_____.A. how much it weighsB. what food it eatsC. what it is likeD. how long it lives4.An animal weighing less than 2.5 grams would starve because it would not be able to_____.A. get enough oxygenB. maintain its body temperatureC. burn its food fast enoughD. eat fast enough to supply fuel5.What is implied but not stated in the passage?A. There is no limit as to how large a warm-blooded animal can be.B. The hummingbird lives faster than any other warm-blooded creature.C. Small animals have less skin for their body weight than large ones.D. The hummingbird is the smallest of the warm-blooded animals.Passage 2California is a land of variety and contrast. Almost every type of physical land feature, shortof arctic ice fields and tropical jungles can be found within its borders. Sharply contrasting types of land often lie very close to one another.People living in Bakersfield, for instance, can visit the Pacific Ocean and the coastal plain, the fertile San Joaquin Valley, the arid Mojave Desert, and the high Sierra Nevada, all within a radius of about 100 miles. In other areas it is possible to go snow skiing in the morning and surfing in the evening of the same day, without having to travel long distances.Contrast abounds in California. The highest point in the United States (outside Alaska) is in California, and so is the lowest point (including Alaska). Mount Whitney, 14 494 feet above sea level, is separated from Death Valley, 282 feet below sea level, by a distance of only 100 miles. The two areas have a difference in altitude of almost three miles.California has deep, clear mountain lakes like Lake Tahoe, the deepest in the country, but it also has shallow, salty desert lakes. It has Lake Tulainyo, 12 020 feet above sea level, and the lowest lake in the country, the Salton Sea, 236 feet below sea level. Some of its lakes, like Owens Lake in Death Valley, are not lakes at all; they are dried-up lakebeds.In addition to mountains, lakes, valleys, deserts, and plateaus, California has its Pacific coastline, stretching longer than the coastlines of Oregon and Washington combined.6. Which of the following is the lowest point in the United States?A. Lake Tulainyo.B. Mojave Desert.C. Death Valley.D. The Salton Sea.7. Where is the highest point in the United States located?A. Lake Tahoe.B. Sierra Nevada.C. Mount Whitney.D. Alaska.8. How far away is Death Valley from Mount Whitney?A. About 3 miles.B. Only 100 miles.C. 282 feet.D. 14 494 feet.9. Which of the following is not mentioned in the passage as being within a radius of about100 miles of Bakersfield?A. The Pacific Ocean.B. San Joaquin Valley.C. Mojave Desert.D. Oregon and Washington.10. Which statement best demonstrates that California is a land of variety and contrast?A. The highest lake in California is Lake Tulainyo.B. It is possible to go surfing and snow skiing in some parts of California without having totravel long distance.C. Sierra Nevada, San Joaquin Valley, Mojave Desert and the Pacific Ocean all lie within aradius of about 100 miles.D. Owens Lake, in Death Valley, is not really a lake at all.Passage 3Children are a relatively modern invention. Until a few hundred years ago they did not exist. In medieval and Renaissance painting you see pint-sized men and women, wearing grown-up clothes and grown-up expressions, performing grown-up tasks. Children did not exist because the family as we know it had not evolved.Children today not only exist; they have taken over, in no place more than in America, and atno time more than now. It is always Kids’ Country here. Our civilization is child-centered, child-obsessed. A kid’s body is our physical ideal. In Kid’s Country we do not permit middle-age. Thirty is promoted over 50, but 30 knows that soon his time to be overtaken will come.We are the first society in which parents expect to learn from their children. Such a topsy-turvy (颠倒) situation has come about at least in part because, unlike the rest of the world, ours is an immigrant society, and for immigrant the only hope is in the kids. In the Old Country, that is, Europe, hope was in the farther, and how much wealth he could accumulate and pass along to his children. In the growth pattern of America and its ever-expanding frontier, the young man was ever advised to GO WEST; the farther was ever inheriting from his son. Kids’ Country may be the inevitable result.Kids’ Country is not all bad. American is the greatest country in the world to grow up in because it is Kids’ Country. We not only wear kids’ clothes and eat kids’ food; we dream Kids’ dreams and make them come true. It was, after all, a boy’s game to go to the moon.If in the old days children did not exist, it seems equally true today that adults, as a class, have begun to disappear, condemning all of us to remain boys and girls forever, jogging and doing push-ups (俯卧撑) against eternity.11.The author uses the example of the Renaissance painting to show that _______.A. adults showed less concern for children than we do nowB. adults were smaller and thinner at that time, but they still had a lot of work to doC. children looked and acted like adults at that timeD. children were not permitted to appear in family paintings at that time12.In the third paragraph, the Old Country is contrasted with America _______.A. to show differences in family sizeB. to show differences in attitudes towards family relationsC. to sow two kinds of geographyD. to show two different kinds of economic relations between generations13.Going to the moon is an example of _______.A. America’s dreams and creativityB. America’s childish and queer behaviorC. why America hasn’t grown upD. why America is considered the greatest country in the world14.According to the passage, which of the following is true?A. It is very difficult for the middle-aged to live in America.B. America is Kids’ Country because the majority of its people are young and vigorous.C. Kids’ Country was taking shape in America when immigrants poured into the countryD. America is more of Kids’ Country than any other countries in the world.15.By saying “condemning all of us to remain boys and girls forever, jogging doing push-upsagainst eternity,” the author means that _______.A. she thinks people shouldn’t be so concerned about physical fitnessB. she feels too old and tired to do such hard exerciseC. American society is overemphasizing youth and physical appearanceD. what happened to children centuries ago may occur to adults in America soon Passage 4By far the most common snake in Britain is the adder. In Scotland, in fact, there are no other snakes at all. The adder is also the only British snake with a poisonous bite. It can be found almost anywhere, but prefers sunny hillsides and rough open country, including high ground. In Ireland there are no snakes at all.Most people regard snakebites as a fatal misfortune, but not all bites are serious, and very few are fatal. Sometimes attempts at emergency treatment turn out to be more dangerous than the bite itself, with amateurs heroically, but mistakenly, trying do-it-yourself surgery and other unnecessary measures.All snakes have small teeth, so it follows that all snakes can bite, but only the bite of the adder presents any danger. British snakes are shy animals and are far more frightened of you than you could possibly be of them. The adder will attack only if it feels threatened, as can happen if you take it by surprise and step on it accidentally or if you try to catch it or pick it up, which it dislikes intensely. If it hears you coming, it will normally get out of the way as quickly as it can, but adders cannot move very rapidly and may attack before moving if you are very close.The effect of a bite varies considerably. It depends upon several things, one of which is the body-weight of the person bitten. The bigger the person, the less harmful the bite is likely to be, which is why children suffer far more seriously from snake bites than adults. A healthy person will also have better resistance against the poison.Very few people actually die from snakebites in Britain, and though these bites can make some people very ill, there are probably just as many cases of bites having little or no effect, as there are of serious illness.16.Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. The adder is the only poisonous snake in Britain.B. In Scotland there are no other snakes except the adder.C. Snake bites seem more dangerous than they actually are.D. People’s attempts at emergency treatment are utterly unnecessary.17.Adders are most likely to be found _______.A. in wilder parts of Britain and IrelandB. in Scotland and nowhere elseC. on uncultivated land throughout BritainD. in shady fields in England18.We are told that British snakes are _____.A. afraid of human beingsB. poisonous including the adderC. dangerous except the adderD. friendly towards human beings19.When will the adder not attack you?A. When you try to catch it.B. When you are some distance away from it.C. When you happen to step on it.D. When you try to pick it up.20.If an adder hears you coming, it will usually ______.A. attack you immediatelyB. disappear very quicklyC. wait to frighten youD. move out of the wayPassage 5While drunken driving may be on the decline, traffic safety experts remain baffled over how to cope with another alcohol related hazard: drunken pedestrians (步行者).Pedestrians struck and killed by cars often are extremely drunk. In fact, they are intoxicated more frequently —and with higher blood alcohol levels —than drunken drivers who are killed in accidents, various studies have shown. Forty percent of adult pedestrians involved in fatal crashes have a blood alcohol level of at least 0.10 —which by law in most states signifies intoxication —compared to only 25 percent of drivers in deadly accidents, according to recent federal data.Some types of pedestrian accidents have been declining nationally, especially those involving children, but the number of adult pedestrians who are drunk when killed in traffic has remained relatively steady at 2,500 a year. The total number of pedestrians killed annually in U.S. traffic accidents is at least 7,000 or one of every seven highway deaths.Pedestrian accidents have not received enough attention in the past, according to Kay Colpitts, who chairs a board’s committee on pedestrians. Few methods exist to monitor walking habits, she said, and researchers have been mystified about how to prevent mishaps.Studies have revealed some of the causes, which range from a lack of adult supervision for many children involved in accidents to long delays in traffic signals that may encourage jaywalking, speakers said at a meeting. The most challenging problem, however, is alcohol. Some researchers suspect that part of the problem, ironically, may be former drunken drivers whose licenses were suspended and who now are walking. Other researchers, emphasizing the larger social problem of alcohol abuse in general, say many drunken pedestrians are poor alcoholics who often face lonely deaths — and not only on highways.21.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. Traffic Safety.B. Drunken Drivers.C. Drunken Pedestrian Accidents.D. A Severe Highway Safety Problem.22.Among the causes of walkers’ accidents, the most serious problem is _______.A. long delays in traffic signals that may make people cross streets without paying attentionto traffic rulesB. alcoholC. a lack of adult keeping eyes on many children involved in accidentsD. former drunken drivers whose licenses are not allowed to use for a time23. According to recent federal data, drunken drivers in deadly accidents _______.A. are 15 percent less than drunken adult walkersB. are 2,500 a yearC. are at least 7,000 in US traffic accidentsD. make up one seventh of highway deaths24. It can be inferred from the passage that pedestrian accidents have remained relatively high because _______.A. walking accidents have not received enough attention in the pastB. few methods exist to confine walking habitsC. researchers find it difficult to work out ways to prevent unlucky accidentsD. all of the above25. The passage was most probably written by a specialist in _______.A. town planningB. social historyC. traffic systemD. traffic safetyAnswer SheetPart I Multiple Choices (15 points, 1 point each)1-5: ____________6-10: ____________ 11-15: ____________ Part II Word Match (15 points, 1 point each)1-5: ____________6-10: ____________ 11-15: ____________ Part III Sentence Completion (10 points, 1 point each)1. __________2. __________3. __________4. __________5. __________6. __________7. __________8. __________9. __________ 10. __________ Part IV Cloze (10 points, 0.5 point each)1. __________2. __________3. __________4. __________5. __________6. __________7. __________8. __________ 9. __________ 10. __________ 11. __________ 12. __________13. __________ 14. ____________ 15. __________ 16. __________17. __________ 18. __________ 19. __________ 20. __________ Part V Reading Comprehension (50 points, 2 points each)1-5: ____________6-10: ____________ 11-15: ____________ 16-20: ____________ 21-25: ____________。
