If you do, you must be an optimist（乐观主义者）. a leader. an acive person who enjoys life. people and excitement. Do you prefer greys and blues? Then you are probably quict. shy. and you would rather follow than lead You tend to be a pessimist (悲观主义者) . At least. this is what psychologists tell us. and they should know. because they have been seriously studying the meaning of colours preference, as well as the effect that colours have on human beings. They tell us. among other facts. that we do not choose our favourite clour as we growup-we are born with our preference. If you happen to love brown, you did so as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly.Colours do influence our moods------there is no doubt about it. A yellow room makes mostpeople feel more cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one; and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day. On the other hand, black is depressing. A black bridge over the Thames River. Near London. used to be the scene of more suicides (自杀) than any other bridge in the area-until it was repainted green. The number of suicide attempts immediately fell down sharply; perhaps it would have fallen even more if the bridge had been done in pink or baby blue.Light and bright colours make people not only happier but more active. It is an established fact that factory workers work better. harder. and have fewcr accidents when their machines arc painted orange rather than black or grey.36. The sentence "You would rather follow than lead" in paragraph l means that you would .A. like to lead followersB. be afraid of following othersC. be a member rather than a leaderD. like to be a leader rather than a follower37. If one enjoys life, one is sure to prefer .A. red to yellowB. blue to orangeC. blue to yellowD. red to grey38. Which of the following statements is true?A. People's preference of one colour to another is instinct.B. People's preference of one colour to another is acquired as they grow up.C. Factory workers meet fewer accidents when their machines are painted grey.D. More people happen to love brown because they saw it when they were born.39. Those who committed suicide preferred the bridge over the Thames River to others because of itsA. shapeB. colourC. structureD. materials40. The main idea of the passage is that_ .A. colours affect people's moodB. colours affect people's characterC. bright colours make people more activeD. colours preference shows people's couragePassage 2Charlotte Hollins knows she faces a battle. The 23-year-old British farmer and her 21-year-old brother Ben are fighting to save the farm from the city developers that their father worked on since he was 14. While she is confident they will succeed. she lists farming's many challenges: "You don't often get a day off. Supermarkets put a lot of pressure on farmers to keep prices down. With fewer people working on farms it can be isolating." she said. "There is a high rate of suicide and farming will never make you rich!"Oliver Robinson. 25, grew up on a farm in Yorkshire. But he never considered staying on his father and grandfather's land. "I'm sure Dan hoped I'd stay," he said. "I guess it's a nice, straightforward life, but it doesn't appeal. For young ambitious people, farm life would be a hard world." For Robinson. farming doesn't offer much in terms of money or lifestyle. Hollins agrees that economics stops people from pursuing farming rewards: "providing for a vital human need . while working outdoors with nature."Farming is a big political issue in the UK. "Buy British" campaigns encourage consumers not a buy cheaper imported foods. The 2001 "foot and mouth crisis" closed thousands of farms, stopped meat exports, and raised public consciousness of troubles in British farming. JamieOliver's 2005 campaign to get children to eat healthily also highlighted the issue. This national concern brings hope for farmers competing with powerful supermarkets. While most people buy food from the big supermarkets. hundreds of independent Farmers' Markets are becoming popular.41 . Charlotte Hollins is talking about her feeling of a battle between "A. the poor and the richB. farmers and city developersC. young people and their parentsD. small markets and supermarkets42. In the eyes of Charlotte Hollins. makes fewer people work on farms.A. rich life of farmersB. a low rate of suicideC. hard life on the farmsD. high prices of farm products43. According to the passage, more and more young people leave their fathers' land because farming cannot offer .A. a hard worldB. a vital human needC. a nice and straightforward lifeD. enough money and honourable life44. "Buy British" campaigns____A. bring benefit to farmersB. stopped meat exportC. closed thousands of farmsD. ask children to eat British foods45. According to the passage, Farmers ' Markets are becoming popular because .A. thousands of farms are closedB. farmers are the owners of the marketsC. more people are concerned about healthy foodD. Jamie Oliver's 2005 campaigns urge people to "Buy BritisW'Passage 3No one knows exactly how many disabled people (残疾人) there arc in the word. but estimates suggest the figure is over 450 million. The number of disabled people in India alone is probably more than double the total population of Canada.In the United Kingdom. about one in ten people have some disability. Disability is not just something hat happens to other people: as we get older. many of us will become less mobile. hard of hearing or have failing eyesight.Disablement can take many forms and occur at any time of life. Some people are born with disabilities. Many others become disabled as they get older. There are many progressive disabling diseases. The longer time goes on. the worse they become. Some people are disabled in accidents. Many others may have a period of disability in the form of a mental illness. All are affected by people's attitude towards them.Disabled people face many physical barriers. Next time you go shopping or to work or visit friends, imagine how you would manage if you could not get up steps, or on to buses and trains. How would you cope if you could not see where you were going or could not hear the traffic? But there are other barriers: prejudice can be even harder to break down and ignorance inevitably represents by far the greatest barrier of all. It is almost impossible for the able-bodied to fully appreciate what the severely disabled go through. so it is important to draw attention to these barriers and show that it is the individual person and their ability. not their disability, which counts.46. The first paragraph tells us that .A. the number of disabled people in India is the greatestB. there are less than 450 million disabled people in the worldC. there are more than 450 million disabled people in the worldD. the number of disabled people in India is equal to the total population of Canada47. The key word in paragraph 4 is _A. disabilityB. ignoranceC. prejudiceD. barriers48. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. There are about 10 percent disabled people in the UK_B. There still exists prejudice against the disabled because of ignorance.C. Even the able-bodied might lose some of their body functions when they get older.D. The whole society should pay attention to the barriers faced by the disabled people.49. The clause "which counts " in the last paragraph means that _ .A. ability is the most importantB. disability is consideredC. disability is includedD. barrier is the most important50. It can be concluded from the passage that _A. we should try our best to prevent disablementB. we should take a proper attitude towards the disabledC. both physical and mental barriers are hard to break downD. the able-bodied will never fully understand the disabledPassage 4It is really a surprise that after hundreds of years, educationists have still failed to design anything more efficient and reliable than examinations. It is claimed that examinations test what you know, but it is common knowledge that they more often do the exact opposite. They may be a good means of testing memory, or the skills of working rapidly under extreme pressure, but they can tell you nothing about a person's true ability.As anxiety-makers. examinations are second to none. That is because so much depends on them. They are the mark of success or failure in our society. Your whole future may be decided in one fateful day. No one can show his best in worry, or after a sleepless night, yet this is precisely what the examination system expects him to do.A good education should, among other things, train you to think for yourself. The examination system however, does anything but that. What has to be learnt is laid down by a syllabus (教学大纲) . so the student is encouraged to memorize. Examinations do not motivate a student to read widely, and they do not enable him to seek more and more knowledge. Furthermore. teachers themselves are often judged by the results of their students' examinations. Consequently, they have to train their students to master exam techniques which they dislike. They most successful candidates are not always the best educated but the best trained..The results on which so much depends are often nothing more than a subjective assessment by some anonymous (匿名的) examiners. They certainly make mistakes. because they have to mark mountains of scripts (答卷) in a limited amount of time. They work under the same sort of pressure as the candidates.51. The main idea of this passage is that examinations are .A. anxiety-makersB. harmful to educationC. reliable and efficientD. good measures of memory52. It is clear that the author examinations.A. argues forB. argues againstC. is interested inD. is indifferent to53. The fate of students is decided by _ according to the passage.A. examinationB. educationC. teachingD. learning54. According to the author, the most importance of a good education is to .A. encourage students to read widelyB..teach students how to tackle examsC. train students to think on their ownD. encourage students to seek more knowledge55. Which statement is NOT mentioned in the passage?A. Examinations can make students anxious.B. The examiners might make mistakes in marking.C. Teachers ' work is .judged based on the results of examinations.D. Tools better than examinations to test students' ability have been found.Part III Cloze (10%)When I come across a good article in reading newspapers. I often want to cut and keep it. But just as I am about to do so I find the 56 0n the opposite side is as much interesting. It may be a discussion of the way to 57 in good health. or a report about 58 to behave and conduct oneself in society. If I cut the front article, the opposite one is likely t0 59 damage, leaving out half of it or keeping the text 60 the title. Therefore. I should prepare 61 I start to cut. Or it will be halfway done when I find out the 62 result.63 two things are to be done at the same time. You can only take up one of them,the other has to wait or be 64 _ But you know the future is unpredictable----the changed situation may not allow you to do what is left 65 . Thus you are caught in a 66 position and feel sad. How should the nice chances and brilliant ideas gather around all at once? What are you going to do when you 67 two things at the same time?

We are often . 70 with the two opposite sides of a thing which are both desirable 71 a newspaper cutting. It often occurs that our attention is drawn to one thing only 72 we get into another. The 73 may be more important than the latter and give rise to a dividcd mind. A famous philosopher 74 said "When one door shuts, another opens in life." So a casual choice may not be a 75 0ne.56.A. newspaper B. article C. text D. title57.A. get B. bring C. lead D. keep58.A. how B. when C. why D. what59.A. do B. reduce C. prevent D. cause60.A. on B. in C. off D. for61.A. because B. since C. after D. before62.A. satisfying B. regretful C. pleasant D. impossible63.A.

Cigarette smoke in her house?How?How?Had someone got in?She checked the back door and the windows.All were locked or fastened,as usual.There was no sign of forced entry.Over a cup of tea she wondered whether someone had a key that fitted her front door―a master key perhaps.So she stayed at home the following Thursday. Nothing happened.Was anyone watching her movements?On the Thursday after that she went out at her usual time,dres sed as usual,but she didn’t go to the club. Instead she took a short cut home again,letting herself in through her garden and the back door.She settled down to wait.It was just after four o’clock when the front door bell rang.Mrs.Clarke was making a cup of tea at the time.The bell rang again,and then she heard her letter-box being pushed open.With the kettle of boiling water in her hand,she moved quietly toward the front door.A long piece of wire appeared through the letter box,and then a hand.The wire turned and caught around the knob on the door-lock.Mrs.Clarke raised the kettle and poured the water over the hand.There was a shout outside,and the skin seemed to drop off the fingers like a glove.The wire fell to thefloor,the hand was pulled back,and Mrs.Clarke heard the sound of running feet.31.On Thursday,Mrs Clarke usually_____.A.went on an outingB.visited a clubC.worked at a clubD.went to see a friend32.No one made a forced entry,because_____.A.she smelt cigarette smokeB.she found nobody in the houseC.she came into the house as usual and locked the door广东专插本英语D.she found the door and windows remained the same33.On the second Thursday,nothing happened and Mrs.Clarke was wondering_____.A.whether her guess was wrongB.whether someone had a master keyC.whether her movements were being watchedD.whether someone took a short cut to the house34.The wire fell to the floor_____.A.because it was too hot to holdB.when t he man’s glove dropped offC.because the man just wanted to run awayD.when the man’s hand was badly hurt by hot water35.It can be inferred from the passage that Mrs.Clarke was_____.A.calm and cleverB.brave and luckyC.anxious and worriedD.scared and frightenedPassage2We find that bright children are rarely held back by mixed-ability teaching.On the contrary,both their knowledge and experience are enriched.We feel that there are many disadvantages in dividing pupils into different groups.It does not take into account the fact that children develop at different rates.It can have a bad effect on both the bright and the not-so-bright child.After all,it can be quite discouraging to be at the bottom of the top grade!Besides,it is rather unusual to grade pupils just according to their intellectual ability.This is only one aspect of their total personality.We are concerned to develop the abilities of all ourpupils to the full,not just their academic ability.We also value personal qualities and social skills,and we find that mixed-ability teaching contributes to all these aspects of learning.In our classrooms,we work in various ways.The pupils often work in groups:this gives them the opportunity to learn to co-operate,to share,and to develop leadership skills.They also learn how to cope with personal problems as well as how to think,to make decisions,to analyze and evaluate,and to communicate effectively. The pupils learn from each other as well as from the teacher.Sometimes the pupils work in pairs;sometimes they work on individual tasks and assignments,and they can do this at their own speed.They also have some formal class teaching when this is appropriate.We encourage our pupils to use the library,and we teach them the skills they need in order to do this effectively.An advanced pupil can do advanced work.It doesn’t matter how old the child is.We expect our pupils to do their best,not their least,and we give them every encouragement to attain this goal.36.The phrase held back in Line1means being_____.A.forced to study hardB.stopped from making progressC.unwilling to study hardD.pushed to make great progress37.The writer’s attitude towards mixed-ability teaching is_____.A.approvingB.negative广东专插本英语C.criticalD.indifferent38.According to the writer,the main concern of a teacher should be the development of the students’_____.A.social skillsB.total personalityC.personal qualitiesD.intellectual ability39.Which of the following is NOT __ED in the third paragraphA.Pupils can learn how to be capable organizers.B.Pupils can learn how to work together with others.C.Pupils can learn how to be participate in teaching activities.D.Pupils can learn how to develop their reasoning abilities.40.This passage aims to_____.A.offer advice on the effective use of the libraryB.emphasize the importance of teaching the skillsC.discuss pair work and group work for classroom activitiesD.argue for teaching bright and not-so-bright pupils in the same classPassage3In the1960s,medical researchers Thomas Holmes and Richard Rahe developed a checklist of stressful events.They appreciated the tricky point that any major change can be stressful.Negative events like serious illness of a family member were high on the list,but so were some positive life-changing events,like marriage.When you take the Holmes-Rahe test you must remember that the score does not reflect how you deal with stress―it only shows how much you have to deal with.And we now know that the way you handle these events dramatically affects your chances of staying healthy.By the early1970s,hundreds of similar studies had followed Holmes and Rahe. And millions of Americans who work and live under stress worried over the reports. Somehow,the research was described briefly in a memorable message.Women’s magazines ran headlines like Stress causes illness!If you want to stayphysically and mentally healthy,the articles said,avoid stressful events.But such simple advice is impossible to follow.Even if stressful events are dangerous,many―like the death of a loved one―are impossible to avoid.Moreover, any warning to avoid all stressful events is a prescription()for staying away from opportunities as well as trouble.Since any change can be stressful,a person who wanted to be completely free of stress would never marry,have a child,take a new job or move.The notion that all stress makes you sick also ignores a lot of what we know about people.It assumes we’re all weak and passive in the face of difficulties.But what about human initiative and creativity?Many people come through periods of stress with more physical and mental energy than they had before.We also know that a long time without change or challenge can lead to boredom,and physical and mental strain.41.Holmes-Rahe made a medical research on_____.A.what to do to avoid stress广东专插本英语B.what to do to cope with stressC.what kind of events can cause stressD.what kind of stress can cause changes42.The score of the Holmes-Rahe test shows_____.A.how much you have to deal with stressB.how positive events can change your lifeC.how negative events can change your lifeD.how you can deal with life-changing events43.The studies on stress in the early1970s made people_____.A.feel more stressful in working and livingB.believe that it’s impossible to avoid stressC.worry about their mental and physical healthD.believe that it’s possible to avoid stressful events44.If a person wanted to avoid stress completely,he would have to_____.A.avoid any changesB.make some changesC.be free of dangerous thingsD.stay away from the opportunities45.Which of the following best describes the writer’s tone in the passageA.Critical.B.Objective.C.Subjective.D.Prejudiced.Passage4Even plants can run a fever,especially when they're under attack by insects or disease.But unlike humans,plants can have their temperature taken from3,000feet away-straight up.A decade ago,adapting the infrared()scanning technology developed for military purposes and other satellites,physicist Stephen Paley came up with a quick way to take the temperature of crops to determine which ones are under attack.The goal was to let farmers precisely target pesticide()spraying rather than rain poison on a whole field,which always includes plants that don't have pes()problems.Even better,Paley's Remote Scanning Services Company could detect crop problems before they became visible to the eye.An infrared scanner,on a plane flying at3,000feet at night,measured the heat sent out by crops.The data was turned into a color-coded map showing where plants were running“fevers".Farmers could then spot-spray,using50to70percent less pesticide than they otherwise would.The bad news is that Paley's company closed down in1984,after only three years.Farmers resisted the new technology and long-term supports were hard to find.But with the renewed concern about pesticides on produce,and refinements in infrared scanning,Paley hopes to get back into operation.Agriculture experts have no doubt about how the technology works."This technique can be used on75 percent of agricultural land in the United States,"says George Oerther of Texas AM. Ray Jackson,who recently retired from the Department of Agriculture,thinks long-distance infrared crop scanning could be adopted by the end of the decade,but only if Paley finds the financial support which he failed to obtain10years ago.广东专插本英语46.Plants will run a fever when they are_____.A.sprayed with pesticidesB.facing an infrared scannerC.troubled with insects or diseaseD.having their temperature taken47.In order to apply pesticide spraying precisely,we can use infrared scanning to_____.A.draw a color-coded mapB.locate the problem areaC.attract insects and treat diseaseD.estimate the damage to the crops48.Farmers can save a considerable amount of pesticide by_____.A.making use of spot-sprayingB.transforming poisoned rainC.consulting infrared scanning expertsD.detecting crop problems at an early stage49.The difficulty in applying infrared scanning technology to agriculture is_____.A.its high costB.the financial problemC.the decreased productionD.the lack of official support50.The passage mainly talks about the_____.A.problems of cropsB.temperature of plantsC.roles of Paley’s companyD.function of infrared scanningPart Cloze15%A friend of mine met with an accident driving in the darkness.His legs were so hurt that he couldn't move.What was the___51__was that he found himself una ble to ask for help―his mobile phone went out of___52__because of the exhausted battery.___53__could be done but to wait in the cold wilderness.It was eight hours later that day broke,and then the rescue arrived.It can___54__that he could stand the horror in the darkness for so long.Even more surprising was his___55__,"First of all,I checked up my physical conditions and found myself not in mortal danger.As there was no tools to___56__help,I leaned back in my seat trying my best to___57__the wound from bleeding.In this way I dozed off."His story put an end to my regret for the sadness of an exploration adventure that happened last year.A group of young men___58__to explore a mountain cave and got lost.___59__to find a way out in the dark cave they were frightened and ran anxiously without a sense of___60__.Finally they fell dead in fear and exhaustion.

A．Mathematics.B．English.C．History.D．Typing.38.The writer’s attitude towards a part-time job is.A．positive B．negative C．neutral D．Hostile39.It can be inferred from the passage that if a student’s school work is not good,he.A．can find his weakness B．can get a new start in his workC．will fail in looking for a job D．will feel regret about his ability40.The passage is developed by giving.A．a comparison B．enough evidence C．some examples D．some factsPassage3Until the twentieth century,women did not often participate in sports.Part of the explanation for this is that women simply did not have time.Many women cooked,cleaned,and took care of children.They were so busy that they did not have time for sports.A second reason,especially in the late nineteenth century,is that a woman’s image at that time was one of weakness,illness,and delicacy.In the Victorian era,people thought that it was unladylike for a woman to be involved in any sports activity.There have been changes in both the view of women in the modern world,and also changes within the world of sports.These changes have allowed many more women to participate in sports.The general view of women has changed substantially since the Victorian era.Women are no longer considered delicate.People do not think it is unladylike for a woman to compete in sports.Women who win in sports activities are highly regarded.Many women now take part in sports and games of many different kinds,and enjoy doing so.This development is partly the result of a change in the image of women in the modern world.Women are also more active in sports now because of two changes in sports.First,in the early twentieth century,women began to compete regularly in the Olympics.Also,the number of events for women in the Olympics has been growing quite steadily.The fact that women can compete in the Olympics encourages many to become active in the various Olympic activities.In more recent years,television has had a noticeable effect on the popularity of women’s professional sports.Many women’s tennis matches and golf matches are on TV,along with many other competitions.Seeing women in professional sports on TV has made certain sports much more popular among women,as amateurs and as professionals.41.According to the passage,women did not often participate in sports in the past because.A．they were too busy B．they did not like competitionC．they did not like sports D．they loved staying at home42.Women began to participate in the Olympics.A．in the late nineteenth century B．in the Victorian AgeC．in the early twentieth century D．in the21st century has made women’s sports.A．well recognized B．highly regardedC．more professional D．more popular44.We can infer from the passage that.A．women used to be considered too weak for sportsB．women did less housework in the twentieth centuryC．the number of sports events has remained unchangedD．only women’s tennis matches and golf matches are on TV45.The best title for this passage is.A．The Image of Women B．Sports in the PastC．Women in Sports D．Modern SportsPassage4New research is trying to find how we learn and make decisions exactly.To the brain,a new thought or idea is like a spider.If it works hard enough,a web of knowledge spins out from it.Photos of the brain taken during learning actually show a kind of nerve cells firing,growing,and forming new connections.This is fascinating in itself,but what’s even more fascinating is that failure can cause this to happen.That’s right;failure can enhance your brain.Stanford University psychologist Carol Dweck has compared the brain waves of people with growth and fixed mind-sets.She finds that,when those with growth mind-sets fail at a task,they would enter a more focused mental state.And as they try again and again,they improve.In effect,they’ve learned,and their brains have“grown”. Those with fixed mind-sets,however,never enter this focused state of learning and show little advancement.Antoine Bechara,a professor of psychology and neuroscience at the University of Southem California,has taken Dweck’s work a step further.He recently isolated two equally sized centers in the brain.These areas interact during the decision-making process.Although more research is needed,these centers may turn out to be the physical locations for Dweck’s twin mind-sets.“We always knew people could learn from their mistakes,but now we’re finding out exactly how and where this happens,”explains Bechara.“In a normally functioning brain,failure is taken as an opportunity for learning and strengthening the species.”46.According to the passage,like a spider,a new thought or idea could.A．come from hard work B．enrich your brainC．be very fascinating D．form a knowledge web47.Which of the following statements about Antoine Bechara is true?A．He explored how human beings survive.B．He found how the brain normally functions.C．He probablydiscovered the physical locations for the twin mind-sets.D．He studied the brain waves of people with growth and fixed mind-sets.48.Carol Dweck’s work has something to do with.A．how to take photos of the brainB．how failure helps the brain“grow”C．when the areas in the brain interact with each otherD．when nerve cells fire,grow,and form new connections49.The passage is most probably from a.A．laboratory journal B．newspaper reportC．medical magazine D．personal resume50.The author’s tone can be best described as.A．objective B．critical C．personal D．officialPart III Cloze(15%)At the beginning of1993,Harrison Textile Company,a plant that makes clothes for people,suffered a disaster. The plant,equipment,stock and so on,were51down and turned to ashes.More than3,000employees were completely52in the face of the unexpected disaster.Sad and depressed,they returned home,waiting with despair53the chairman to declare the bankruptcy（破产）and unemployment.But54,after long waiting,the company posted each person55a letter:the company would pay one month’s salary to all employees of the company.When all of the workers almost56all hope for the life of future,the company’s letter57again:the company would pay one month’s salary to all the staff of the company.If the58letter surprised and delighted thousands of employees,the second letter almost59them to tears. Indeed,the whole country was suffering a lot in such a bad situation that many60had no way for living,so who would not be touched by such61?Just as the chairman62,on the day of receiving the second letter,thousands of employees rushed back to 63.They cleaned up the ruins,tidied up the situations after the64and worked again,and some of them even took the initiative to contact the interrupted supply of goods.Three months65,Harrison Company came to life.Today Harrison Company has become the largest American textile company.51.A．burned B．turned C．pulled D．pushed52.A．confused B．shocked C．encouraged D．impressed53.A．with B．without C．to D．for54.A．to their surprise B．to their despair C．with good luck D．with bad luck55.A．many B．much C．such D．Quite56.A．saw B．lost C．felt D．Held57.A．came B．sent C．read D．wrote58.A．last B．following C．first D．second59.A．moved B．changed C．swept D．hit60.A．parents B．children C．people D．chairmen61.A．feelings B．care C．a bill D．a note62.A．did B．acted C．expected D．understood63.A．their dorms B．their homes C．the city D．the company64.A．injury B．fire C．work D．unemployment65.A．early B．late C．ago D．laterPart IV Writing(15points)66.一家外资互联网企业将于2019年3月11日下午2:30在我校大礼堂举办招聘会，请你代学生会写一份英文通知，通知内容包括以下几点：（1）招聘会参与的人员；（2）招聘会的时间地点；需携带的资料与证件（如身份证、个人简历以及英语应用能力考试合格证书等）。
