But Barbar a and her friend s had beaten us to the playgr oundentran ce and they seemed to be waitin g for us. Barbar a said, "So now you're in the A class." She sounde d impres sed. "What's the A class?" I asked. Everyb ody made superi or yet faintl y enviou s giggli ng sounds. "Well, why did you thinkthe teache r movedyou to the frontof the room, dopey? Didn't you know you were in the C classbefore, way in the back of the room?"O f course I hadn't known.The Wenatc hee fifthgradewas bigger than my wholeschool whichhad been in NorthDakota, and the idea of subdiv ision s within a gradehad neveroccurr ed to me. The subdiv iding for the firstmarkin g period had been done before I came to the school, and l had never, in the six weekswhen I'd been there, talked to anyone long enough to find out aboutthe A, B, and C classe s.I stillcouldnot unders tandwhy that had made such a differ enceto Barbar a and her friend s. I didn’t yet know that it was shamef ul and dirtyto be a transi ent labore r and ridicu lousto be from NorthDakota. I though t living in a tent was more fun than living in a house.I didn't know that we were gypsie s, really(how that though t wouldhave excite d me then! ). It didn't occurto me that we were all looked upon as one more of the untrus twort hy natura l phenom ena, drifti ng here and therelike mistsor winds, I didn't know that I was the only childwho had camped on the Bauman n's land ever to get out of the C class.I only knew that for two happydays I walked to school with Barbar a and her friend s, played hopsco tch and jumped rope with them at classinterv als, and was even invite d into the housefor some ginger ale — a strang e drinkI had nevertasted before.31.The tone of this passag e as a wholeis __________.A) reflec tiveB) enthus iasti cC) impers onalD) defens ive正确答案:A32.The narrat or had most probab ly been placed in the C classbecaus e __________.A) she was a poor readerB) she had come from a smallschoolC) the markin g system confus ed herD) all childr en of transi ent labore rs were placed in the C class正确答案:D33.The basicreason why people in the commun ity distru stedthe transi ent worker s was that the transi ent worker s ________.A) tended to be lawbre akersB) had little school ingC) were afraid of strang ersD) were tempor ary reside nts正确答案:D34.Whichof the follow ing is NOT the charac teris tic of Gypsie s?A) Wander ing around the world.B) Making ginger ale in theirhouse.C) Neverplanti ng someth ing.D) Beingforeig nerswherev er they go.正确答案:B35.Immedi ately afterthe narrat or was movedto the A class, what was the attitu de of Barbar a and Barbar a's friend s toward s her?A) Dislik e.B) Accept ance.C) Apolog y.D) Jealou sy.正确答案:BPassag e TwoQuesti ons 36 to 40 are basedon the follow ing passag e."The world's enviro nment is surpri singl y health y. Discus s." If that were an examin ation topic,most studen ts wouldtear it apart,offeri ng a long list of compla ints:from localsmog to global climat e change, from the fellin g of forest s to the extinc tionof specie s. Yet the studen ts who should be giventhe highes t markswouldactual ly be thosewho agreed with the statem ent. The surpri se is how good things are, not how bad.A fterall, the world's popula tionhas more than triple d during this centur y, and worldoutput has risenhugely, so you wouldexpect the earthitself to have been affect ed. Indeed, if people lived, consum ed and produc ed things in the same way as they did in 1900(or 1950, or indeed1980), the worldby now wouldbe a pretty disgus tingplace: smelly, dirty, toxicand danger ous.B ut they don't. The reason s why they don't, and why the enviro nment has not been ruined, have to do with prices, techno logic al innova tion,social change and govern mentregula tionin respon se to popula r pressu re. That is why today's enviro nment al proble ms in the poor countr ies ought, in princi ple, to be solvab le.R aw materi als have not run out, and show no sign of doingso. What has happen ed is that everytime a materi al seemsto be runnin g short, the pricehas risenand, in respon se, people have looked for new source s of supply, triedto find ways to use less of the materi al, or looked for a new substi tute.For this reason prices for food fluctu ate, in respon se to harves ts, natura l disast ers and politi cal instab ility; and when they rise, it takessome time before new source s of supply become availa ble. But they always do, assist ed by new farmin g and crop techno logy.The long term trendhas been downwa rds.I t is whereprices and market s do not operat e proper ly that this benign trendbegins to stumbl e, and the genuin e proble ms arise. Market s cannot always keep the enviro nment health y. If no one owns the resour ce concer ned, no one has an intere st in conser vingit or foster ing it: fish is the best exampl e of this.36.Accord ing to the author, most studen ts_______.A) believ e the world's enviro nment is in an undesi rable condit ionB) agreethat the enviro nment of the worldis not as bad as it is though t to beC) get high marksfor theirgood knowle dge of the world's enviro nmentD) appear somewh at unconc erned aboutthe stateof the world's enviro nment正确答案:A37.The huge increa se in worldproduc tionand popula tion_______.A) has made the worlda worseplaceto live inB) has had a positi ve influe nce on the enviro nmentC) has not signif icant ly affect ed the enviro nmentD) has made the worlda danger ous placeto live in正确答案:C38.One of the reason s why the long-term trendof prices has been downwa rds is that _____.A) techno logic al innova tioncan promot e social stabil ityB) politi cal instab ility will causeconsum ption to dropC) new farmin g and crop techno logycan lead to overpr oduct ionD) new source s are always becomi ng availa ble正确答案:D39.Fish resour ces are dimini shing becaus e_______.A) no new substi tutes can be foundin largequanti tiesB) they are not ownedby any partic ularentityC) improp er method s of fishin g have ruined the fishin g ground sD) waterpollut ion is extrem ely seriou s正确答案:B40.The primar y soluti on to enviro nment al proble ms is_______.A) to allowmarket forces to operat e proper lyB) to curb consum ption of natura l resour cesC) to limitthe growth of the worldpopula tionD) to avoidfluctu ation s in prices正确答案:APart III Vocabu laryand Struct ure ( 10 minute s )Direct ions:Thereare a number of incomp letesenten ces 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.Passage OneQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.Pronouncing a language is a skill. Every normal person is expert in the skill of pronouncing his own language; but few people are even moderately proficient in pronouncing foreign languages. Now there are many reasons for this, some obvious, some perhaps not so obvious. But I suggest that the fundamental reason why people in general do not speak foreign languages much better than they do is that they fail to grasp the true nature of the problem of learning to pronounce, and consequently never set about tackling it in the right way. Far too many people fail to realize that pronouncing a foreign language is a skill —one that needs careful training of a special kind, and one that cannot be acquired by just leaving it to take care of itself. I think even teachers of language, while recognizing the importance of good accent, tend to neglect, in their practical teaching, the branch of study concerned with speaking the language. So the first point I want to make is that English pronunciation must be taught; the teacher should be prepared to devote some of the lesson time to this, and his whole attitude to the subject should get the student to feel that there is a matter worthy of receiving his close attention. So, there should be occasions when other aspects of English, such as grammar or spelling, are allowed for the moment to take second place.Apart from the question of the time given to pronunciation, there are two other requirements for the teacher: the first, knowledge; the second, technique.It is important that the teacher should be in possession of the necessary information. This can generally be obtained from books. It is possible to get from books some ideas of the mechanics of speech, and of what we call general phonetic theory. It is also possible in this way to get a clear mental picture of the relationship between the sounds of different languages, between the speech habits of English people and those, say, of your students. Unless the teacher has such a picture, any comments he makes on his students' pronunciation are unlikely to be of much use, and lesson time spent on pronunciation may well be time wasted.31.What does the author actually say about pronouncing foreign languages?A)There aren't many people who are even fairly good at it.B)Only a few people are really proficient.C)No one is really an expert in the skill.D)There are even some people who are moderately proficient.正确答案: C32.The author argues that going about the problem of pronunciation in the wrong way is __________ .A)an obvious cause of not grasping the problem correctlyB) a consequence of not grasping the problem correctlyC) a fundamental consequence of not speaking wellD)not an obvious cause of speaking poorly正确答案: C33.The best way of learning to speak a foreign language, the author suggests, is byA)picking it up naturally as a childB)learning from a native speakerC)undertaking systematic workD)not concentrating on pronunciation much正确答案: C 34.The value the student puts on correct speech habits depends on _______A)how closely he attends to the matterB)whether it is English that is being taughtC)his teacher's approach to pronunciationD)the importance normally given to grammar and spelling 正确答案: C35.How might the teacher find himself wasting lesson time?A)By making ill-informed comments upon pronunciation.B)By spending lesson time on pronunciation.C)By not using books on phonetics in the classroom.D)By not giving students a clear mental picture of the differences betweensounds.正确答案: DPassage Two Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.In the world of entertainment, TV talk shows have undoubtedly flooded every inch of space on daytime television. And anyone who watches them regularly knows that each one varies in style and format. But no two shows are more profoundly opposite in content, while at the same time standing out above the rest, than the Jerry Springer and the Oprah Winfrey shows. Jerry Springer could easily be considered the king of "trash talk (废话)". The topics on his show are as shocking as shocking can be. For example, the show takes the ever-common talk show themes of love, sex, cheating, guilt, hate, conflict and morality to a different level. Clearly, the Jerry Springer show is a display and exploitation of society's moral catastrophes (灾难), yet people are willing to eat up the intriguing predicaments (困境) of other people's lives. Like Jerry Springer, Oprah Winfrey takes TV talk show to its extreme, but Oprah goes in the opposite direction. The show focuses on the improvement of society and an individual's quality of life. Topics range from teaching your children responsibility, managing your work week, to getting to know your neighbors.Compared to Oprah, the Jerry Springer show looks like poisonous waste being dumped on society. Jerry ends every show with a "final word". He makes a small speech that sums up the entire moral of the show. Hopefully, this is the part where most people will learn something very valuable.Clean as it is, the Oprah show is not for everyone. The show's main target audience are middle-class Americans. Most of these people have the time, money, and stability to deal with life's tougher problems. Jerry Springer, on the other hand, has more of an association with the young adults of society. These are 18- to 21-year-olds whose main troubles in life involve love, relationship, sex, money and peers. They are the ones who see some value and lessons to be learned underneath the show's exploitation.While the two shows are as different as night and day, both have ruled the talk show circuit for many years now. Each one caters to a different audience while both have a strong following from large groups of fans.

You should decide on the best choice.Passage OneQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.When school was out, I hurried to find my sister and get out of the schoolyard before seeing anybody in my class. But Barbara and her friends had beaten us to the playground entrance and they seemed to be waiting for us. Barbara said, "So now you're in the A class." She sounded impressed. "What's the A class?" I asked. Everybody made superior yet faintly envious giggling sounds. "Well, why did you think the teacher moved you to the front of the room, dopey? Didn't you know youwere in the C class before, way in the back of the room?" Of course I hadn't known. The Wenatchee fifth grade was bigger than my whole school which had been in North Dakota, and the idea of subdivisions within a grade had never occurred to me. The subdividing for the first marking period had been done before I came to the school, and l had never, in the six weeks when I'd been there, talked to anyone long enough to find out about the A, B, and C classes.I still could not understand why that had made sucha difference to Barbara and her friends. I didn’t yet know that it was shameful and dirty to be a transient laborer and ridiculous to be from North Dakota. I thought living in a tent was more fun than living in a house.I didn't know that we were gypsies, really (how that thought would have excited me then! ). It didn't occur to me that we were all looked upon as one more of the untrustworthy natural phenomena, drifting here and there like mists or winds, I didn't know that I was the only child who had camped on the Baumann's land ever to get out of the C class.I only knew that for two happy days I walked to school with Barbara and her friends, played hopscotch and jumped rope with them at class intervals, and was even invitedinto the house for some ginger ale —a strange drink I had never tasted before.31.The tone of this passage as a whole is __________.A) reflectiveB) enthusiasticC) impersonalD) defensive正确答案: A32.The narrator had most probably been placed in the C class because __________.A) she was a poor readerB) she had come from a small schoolC) the marking system confused herD) all children of transient laborers were placed in the C class正确答案: D33.The basic reason why people in the community distrusted the transient workers was that the transient workers ________.A) tended to be lawbreakersB) had little schoolingC) were afraid of strangersD) were temporary residents正确答案: D34.Which of the following is NOT the characteristic of Gypsies?A) Wandering around the world.B) Making ginger ale in their house.C) Never planting something.D) Being foreigners wherever they go.正确答案: B35.Immediately after the narrator was moved to the A class, what was the attitude of Barbara and Barbara's friends towards her?A) Dislike.B) Acceptance.C) Apology.D) Jealousy.正确答案: BPassage TwoQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.More and more, the operations of our business, governments, and financial institutions are controlled by information that exists only inside computer memories. Anyone clever enough to modify this information for his own purposes can reap substantial rewards. Even worse, a number of people who have done this and been caught at it have managed to get away without punishment.It's easy for computer crimes to go undetected if no one checks up on what the computer is doing, but even if the crime is detected, the criminal may walk away not only unpunished but with a glowing recommendation from his former employers. Of course, we have no statistics on crimes that go undetected. But it's disturbing to note how many of the crimes we do know about were detected by accident, not by systematic inspections or other security procedures. The computercriminals who have been caught may have been the victims of uncommonly bad luck.For example, a certain keypunch operator complained of having to stay overtime to punch extra cards. Investigation revealed that the extra cards she was being asked to punch were for dishonest transactions. In another case, dissatisfied employees of the thief tipped off the company that was being robbed. Unlike other lawbreakers, who must leave the country, commit suicide, or go to jail, computer criminals sometimes escape punishment, demanding not only that they not be charged but that they be given good recommendations and perhaps other benefits. All too often, their demands have been met.Why? Because company executives are afraid of the bad publicity that would result if the public found out their computer had been misused.They hesitate at the thought of a criminal boasting in open court of how he juggled the most confidential records right under the noses of the company's executives, accountants, and security staff. And so another computer criminal departs with just the recommendations he needs to continue his crimes elsewhere.36.It can be concluded from the passage that _______.A) it is still impossible to detect computer crimes todayB) computer crimes are one of most serious problems in the operation of the financial institutionsC) computer criminals can escape punishment because they can't be detectedD) people commit computer crimes at the request of their company正确答案: B37.It is implied in the third paragraph that _______.A) more computer crimes go undetected than are discoveredB) the rapid increase of computer crimes is a troublesome problemC) most computer criminals are smart enough to cover up their crimesD) most computer criminals who are caught blame their bad luck正确答案: A38.Which of the following is mentioned in the passage?A) A strict law against computer crimes must be enforced.B) Companies need to impose restrictions on confidential information.C) Companies will guard against computer crimes to protect their reputation.D) Companies usually hesitate to uncover computer crimes. 正确答案: D39.The underlying reason for the computer criminals to get recommendations he needs is that _______.A) they have skills formidably difficult for others to masterB) the employers are afraid that they would take avenge if punishedC) the employers are much afraid of bringing the public into disbelief towards them through the criminals' words in open courtD) those who commit crimes do not mean bad正确答案: C40.What may happen to computer criminals once they are caught?A) With bad reputation they can hardly find another job.B) They will be denied access to confidential records.C) They may walk away and easily find another job.D) They must leave the country or go to jail.正确答案: CPart III Vocabulary and Structure ( 10 minutes )Directions: There are a number of incomplete sentences 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.Passage OneQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.More and more Americans are finding that they must learn to cope with chronic illness. Granted, for some of the 125 million people with chronic illnesses, the problems are minor, but for 60 million others have multiple chronic conditions that can be serious or life-threatening.The toll of so much illness is enormous — $510 billion annually. But chronic illness exacts an emotional toll as well, and it is in that realm that researchers are increasingly looking to the hard-won wisdom of patients to find ways to help others cope with diseases that might once have engulfed them in shame or despair.One view is that people with chronic illnesses should be neither pitied nor idealized, either by others or by themselves. Pity can come across as condescending. Turning someone into a hero may not help. Other mental health specialists, such as Ann Webster, take a somewhat different view. Some people with chronic illnesses do want to be seen as normal, she said, but others do seem truly heroic and may appreciate some recognition of that. "A lot of people grow and change in profound ways", Webster said. Some long-term survivors in her AIDS group "have changed and grown and turned into some of the most evolved and spiritual people, and they never were that way before." "It's really hard having a chronic illness, and knowing it is changing your life and your future," she said. Some people can throw their energies into beating their disease and returning to normal activities. But others can't beat the illness, no matter how hard they try. Many people can do this on their own, she said, but many also find it helpful to join support groups or see individual counselors. Ultimately, the task is to make meaning in the face of disability or imminent(即将发生的,逼近的)death, to reassess what's still important and what you can still do, when your old goals and dreams can no longer be met.31.Ann Webster is different from other people in that she thinks ______.A) people with chronic diseases may feel encouraged when their heroic deeds are recognizedB) people with chronic illnesses wish to be treated in the same way as a normal personC) idealizing people with chronic illnesses may put them under great mental pressureD) sympathizing people with chronic illnesses may make them feel inferior to others正确答案:A32.Which of the following is NOT TRUE of the people in Webster's group?A) Many people turn to support groups for help.B) Most of them realize they have to fight on their own.C) Some of them return to normal life by fighting hard.D) Some of them fail no matter how hard they try.正确答案:B33.We may infer from the passage that the author most probably agrees to the opinion that _____.A) people should stick to their dreams and goals no matter what happensB) people should keep fighting against diseases and turn themselves into heroesC) people should make their life meaningful by resetting goals when necessaryD) people should never give up fighting so long as there is still hope正确答案:C34.This passage is focused on ______.A) the health condition of American peopleB) the prevention of chronic illnessesC) the serious cases of chronic illnessesD) the spiritual aspect of people with chronic illnesses正确答案:D35.Which of the following statements is TRUE as described in the passage?A) The treatment for chronic illnesses mainly depends on spiritual help.B) People with chronic diseases can conquer their illness if they join support groups.C) People's overcoming chronic illnesses demands enormous cost.D) With people's utmost efforts, any chronic illness can be cured now.正确答案:CPassage TwoQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.Elizabeth's father died when she was nine. Her family was large, and very poor. She struggled for self esteem, but it was difficult when her clothes weren't as nice as the other kids and her new school was still unfamiliar.During a math lesson, Elizabeth stared at the chalkboard and was struggling to understand a concept. With every stroke of the chalk, she became more confused. She had suffered from chronic ear infections (感染), and had missed many days of her fifth grade year. When she finally got the courage to raise her little hand and ask Mr. Thompson how the problem was done, he became very angry. He marched her up in front of the class and told this insecure child that she was "incapable of learning and extremely stupid."This remark plagued (使…困扰) Elizabeth for years.Elizabeth drifted into marriage. After discovering her husband's long time infidelity (不忠), she found herself divorced with three young daughters. She moved back to her home state and tried to pick up the pieces she had left behind.Knowing that she would be the sole support of these children, and having no desire to remarry, Elizabeth started college. Like most good mothers, she wanted the best for her children. She didn't want to deprive them of their mother. She would rise early and stay up late to get every spare minute she could to study.When she received her first "A" she was confused. She thought there must be some mistake. This was Elizabeth, Elizabeth the stupid. When her good grades piled up, she realized for the first time that maybe Mr. Thompson was wrong.

In a special school for the hearing-impaired, he learned sign language and got to mix with other disabled children. However, the sight of all the disabled children communicating with one another upset his mother. She wanted him to lead a normal life. So after speaking to an advisor, she sent him to private classes where he learned to read lips and pronounce words.Later on, Adrian's parents decided to send him to a regular school. But the headmaster tried to prevent them from doing so; saying regular school couldn't take care of special needs students. His parents were determined to take the risk and push him hard to go through his work everyday because they wanted to prove that, given the opportunity, he could do anything. Adrian made the grade and got accepted. It was a big challenge. The pace was faster so he had to sit at the front of the class and really pay attention to the teacher, which wasn't always easy. But he stuck to it and did a lot of extra work after school.The efforts made by Adrian and his parents paid off. Adrian graduated with good grades and got into a top high school. He also achieved a lot in life outside school. He developed a love for the outdoors and went to Nepal to climb mountains. He even entered the World Yacht Race 05/06 – being the first hearing-impaired Asianto do so.But none of these achievements would have been possible without one of the most important lessons from his mother. "If you believe in yourself and work hard, you can achieve great results." She often said.31.How did Adrian communicate with other children and teacher in regular school?A) By speaking.B) By using sign language.C) By learning to read lips and pronounce words.D) By making loud noises.正确答案:C32.Adrian's parents decided to send him to a regular school because ____.A) they wanted to prove the headmaster wrongB) they wanted him to lead a normal lifeC) he wouldn't mix with other disabled childrenD) he wasn't taken good care of in the special school正确答案:B33.The sentence "The efforts made by Adrian and his parents paid off."

More than 135,000 demonstrators confronted police on the construction site of a 1,000-megawatt nuclear power plant scheduled to provide power to most of southern New Hampshire. Organizers of the huge demonstration said, the protest was continuing despite the police actions. More demonstrators were arriving to keep up the pressure on state authorities to cancel the project. The demonstrator had charged that the project was unsafe in the densely populated area, which would create thermal pollution in the bay, and had no acceptable means for disposing of its radioactive wasters. The demonstrations would go on until the jails and the courts were so overloaded that the state judicial system would collapse.Governor Stanforth Thumper insisted that there would be no reconsideration of the power project and no delay in its construction set for completion in three years. "This project will begin on time and the people of this state will begin to receive its benefits on schedule. Those who break the law in misguided attempts to sabotage the project will be dealt with according to the law," he said. And police called in reinforcements from all over the state to handle the disturbances.The protests began before dawn Friday when several thousand demonstrators broke through police lines around the cordoned-off construction site. They carried placards that read "No Nukes is Good Nukes," "Sunpower, Not Nuclear Power," and "Stop Private Profits from Public Peril." They defied police order to move from the area. Tear gas canisters fired by police failed to dislodge the protestors who had come prepared with their own gas masks or facecloths. Finally gas-masked and helmeted police charged into the crowd to drag off the demonstrators one by one. The protestors did not resist police, but refused to walk away under their own power. Those arrested would be charged with unlawful assembly, trespassing, and disturbing the peace.36.The demonstrators were protesting for ____.A) private profitsB) nuclear power stationC) the project of nuclear power constructionD) public peril正确答案:C37.____wore gas-masks.A) EverybodyB) A part of the protestorsC) PolicemenD) Both B and C正确答案:D38.Which of the following was NOT mentioned as a reason for the demonstration?A) Disposal of wastes.B) Public peril.C) Pollution.D) Public transportation.正确答案:D39.Why would the state judicial system collapse?A) Because the state judicial system itself was too fragile.B) Because the court and jail were too crowded to accommodate those arrested demonstrators.C) Because the demonstrators wanted to abolish the current state judicial system.D) Because the state authority wanted to abolish it and set up a new one.正确答案:B40.What is the attitude of Governor Stanforth Thumper toward the power project?A) Stubborn.B) Insistent.C) Insolvable.D) Remissible.正确答案:APart III Vocabulary and Structure ( 10 minutes )Directions: There are a number of incomplete sentences 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.Passage OneQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.Pronouncing a language is a skill. Every normal person is expert in the skill of pronouncing his own language; but few people are even moderately proficient in pronouncing foreign languages. Now there are many reasons for this, some obvious, some perhaps not so obvious. But I suggest that the fundamental reason why people in general do not speak foreign languages much better than they do is that they fail to grasp the true nature of the problem of learning to pronounce, and consequently never set about tackling it in the right way. Far too many people fail to realize that pronouncing a foreign language is a skill —one that needs careful training of a special kind, and one that cannot be acquired by just leaving it to take care of itself. I think even teachers of language, while recognizing the importance of good accent, tend to neglect, in their practical teaching, the branch of study concerned with speaking the language. So the first point I want to make is that English pronunciation must be taught; the teacher should be prepared to devote some of the lesson time to this, and his whole attitude to the subject should get the student to feel that there is a matter worthy of receiving his close attention. So, there should be occasions when other aspects of English, such as grammar or spelling, are allowed for the moment to take second place.Apart from the question of the time given to pronunciation, there are two other requirements for the teacher: the first, knowledge; the second, technique.It is important that the teacher should be in possession of the necessary information. This can generally be obtained from books. It is possible to get from books some ideas of the mechanics of speech, and of what we call general phonetic theory. It is also possible in this way to get a clear mental picture of the relationship between the sounds of different languages, between the speech habits of English people and those, say, of your students.

And anyone who watches them regularly knows that each one varies in style and format. But no two shows are more profoundly opposite in content, while at the same time standing out above the rest, than the Jerry Springer and the Oprah Winfrey shows. Jerry Springer could easily be considered the king of "trash talk (废话)". The topics on his show are as shocking as shocking can be. For example, the show takes the ever-common talk show themes of love, sex, cheating, guilt, hate, conflict and morality to a different level. Clearly, the Jerry Springer show is a display and exploitation of society's moral catastrophes (灾难), yet people are willing to eat up the intriguing predicaments (困境) of other people's lives. Like Jerry Springer, Oprah Winfrey takes TV talk show to its extreme, but Oprah goes in the opposite direction. The show focuses on the improvement of society and an individual's quality of life. Topics range from teaching your children responsibility, managing your work week, to getting to know your neighbors.Compared to Oprah, the Jerry Springer show looks like poisonous waste being dumped on society. Jerry ends every show with a "final word". He makes a small speech that sums up the entire moral of the show. Hopefully, this is the part where most people will learn something very valuable.Clean as it is, the Oprah show is not for everyone. The show's main target audience are middle-class Americans. Most of these people have the time, money, and stability to deal with life's tougher problems. Jerry Springer, on the other hand, has more of an association with the young adults of society. These are 18- to 21-year-olds whose main troubles in life involve love, relationship, sex, money and peers. They are the ones who see some value and lessons to be learned underneath the show's exploitation.While the two shows are as different as night and day, both have ruled the talk show circuit for many years now. Each one caters to a different audience while both have a strong following from large groups of fans. Ironically, both could also be considered pioneers in the talk show world.36.Compared with other TV talk shows, both the Jerry Springer and the Oprah Winfrey are __________.A) more family-orientedB) unusually popularC) more profoundD) relatively formal正确答案:C37.Though the social problems Jerry Springer talks about appear distasteful, the audience __________.A) remain fascinated by themB) are ready to face up to themC) remain indifferent to themD) are willing to get involved in them正确答案:A38.Which of the following is likely to be a topic of the Oprah Winfrey show?A) A new type of robot.B) Racist hatred.C) Family budget planning.D) Street violence.正确答案:C39.Despite their differences, the two talk shows are both _________.A) ironicalB) sensitiveC) instructiveD) cynical正确答案:B40.We can learn from the passage that the two talk shows ____________.A) have monopolized the talk show circuitB) exploit the weaknesses in human natureC) appear at different times of the dayD) are targeted at different audiences正确答案:DPart III Vocabulary and Structure ( 10 minutes )Directions: There are a number of incomplete sentences in this part.

In a special school for the hearing-impaired, he learned sign language and got to mix with other disabled children. However, the sight of all the disabled children communicating with one another upset his mother. She wanted him to lead a normal life. So after speaking to an advisor, she sent him to private classes where he learned to read lips and pronounce words.Later on, Adrian's parents decided to send him to a regular school. But the headmaster tried to prevent them from doing so; saying regular school couldn't take care of special needs students. His parents were determined to take the risk and push him hard to go through his work everyday because they wanted to prove that, given the opportunity, he could do anything. Adrian made the grade and got accepted. It was a big challenge. The pace was faster so he had to sit at the front of the class and really pay attention to the teacher, which wasn't always easy. But he stuck to it and did a lot of extra work after school.The efforts made by Adrian and his parents paid off. Adrian graduated with good grades and got into a top high school. He also achieved a lot in life outsideschool. He developed a love for the outdoors and went to Nepal to climb mountains. He even entered the World Yacht Race 05/06 – being the first hearing-impaired Asian to do so.But none of these achievements would have been possible without one of the most important lessons from his mother. "If you believe in yourself and work hard, you can achieve great results."

More than 135,000 demonstrators confronted police on the construction site of a 1,000-megawatt nuclear power plant scheduled to provide power to most of southern New Hampshire. Organizers of the huge demonstration said, the protest was continuing despite the police actions. More demonstrators were arriving to keep up the pressure on state authorities to cancel the project. The demonstrator had charged that the project was unsafe in the densely populated area, which would create thermal pollution in the bay, and had no acceptable means for disposing of its radioactive wasters. The demonstrations would go on until the jails and the courts were so overloaded that the state judicial system would collapse.Governor Stanforth Thumper insisted that there would be no reconsideration of the power project and no delay in its construction set for completion in three years. "This project will begin on time and the people of this state will begin to receive its benefits on schedule. Those who break the law in misguided attempts to sabotage the project will be dealt with according to the law," he said. And police called in reinforcements from all over the state to handle the disturbances.The protests began before dawn Friday when several thousand demonstrators broke through police lines around the cordoned-off construction site. They carried placards that read "No Nukes is Good Nukes," "Sunpower, Not Nuclear Power," and "Stop Private Profits from Public Peril." They defied police order to move from the area. Tear gas canisters fired by police failed to dislodge the protestors who had come prepared with their own gas masks or facecloths. Finally gas-masked and helmeted police charged into the crowd to drag off the demonstrators one by one. The protestors did not resist police, but refused to walk away under their own power. Those arrested would be charged with unlawful assembly, trespassing, and disturbing the peace.36.The demonstrators were protesting for ____.A) private profitsB) nuclear power stationC) the project of nuclear power constructionD) public peril正确答案:C37.____wore gas-masks.A) EverybodyB) A part of the protestorsC) PolicemenD) Both B and C正确答案:D38.Which of the following was NOT mentioned as a reason for the demonstrationA) Disposal of wastes.B) Public peril.C) Pollution.D) Public transportation.正确答案:D39.Why would the state judicial system collapseA) Because the state judicial system itself was too fragile.B) Because the court and jail were too crowded to accommodate those arrested demonstrators.C) Because the demonstrators wanted to abolish the current state judicial system.D) Because the state authority wanted to abolish it and set up a new one.正确答案:B40.What is the attitude of Governor Stanforth Thumper toward the power projectA) Stubborn.B) Insistent.C) Insolvable.D) Remissible.正确答案:APart III Vocabulary and Structure ( 10 minutes )Directions: There are a number of incomplete sentences in this part.

But Barbara and her friends had beate n us to the playgro und entrance and they seemed to be wait ing for us. Barbara said, "So now you're in the A class." She sounded impressed. "What's the A class?" I asked. Everybody made superior yet fain tly envi ous giggli ng soun ds. "Well, why did you think the teacher moved you to the front of the room, dopey? Didn't you know you were in the C class before, way in the back of the room?"Of course I had n't known. The Wen atchee fifth grade was bigger tha n my whole school which had been in North Dakota, and the idea of subdivisions with in a grade had n ever occurred to me. The subdivid ing for the first marking period had bee n done before I came to the school, and l had n ever, i n the six weeks whe n rd bee n there, talked to anyone long eno ugh to find out about the A, B, and C classes.I still could not understand why that had made such a differenee to Barbara and her friends. I didn ' ytet know that it was shameful and dirty to be a tran sie nt laborer and ridiculous to be from North Dakota. I thought liv ing in a tent was more fun than living in a house.I did n't know that we were gypsies, really (how that thought would have excited me the n!). It did n't occur to me that we were all looked upon as one more of the untrustworthy natural phenomena, drifting here and there like mists or win ds, I did n't know that I was the only child who had camped on the Bauma nn's land ever to get out of the C class.I only knew that for two happy days I walked to school with Barbara and her frie nds, played hopscotch and jumped rope with them at class in tervals, and was eve n in vited into the house for some gin ger ale —a stra nge drink I had n ever tasted before.31.The tone of this passage as a whole is __________A) reflectiveB) en thusiasticC) impers onalD) defe nsive正确答案:A32.The n arrator had most probably bee n placed in the C class because _________A) she was a poor readerB) she had come from a small schoolC) the marki ng system con fused herD) all children of transient laborers were placed in the C class正确答案:D33.The basic reas on why people in the com mun ity distrusted the tran sie nt workers was that the tran sie nt workers .A) ten ded to be lawbreakersB) had little schooli ngC) were afraid of stra ngersD) were temporary reside nts正确答案:D34.Which of the followi ng is NOT the characteristic of Gypsies?A) Wan deri ng around the world.B) Making gin ger ale in their house.C) Never pla nting somethi ng.D) Bei ng foreig ners wherever they go.正确答案:B35.Immediately after the n arrator was moved to the A class, what was the attitude of Barbara and Barbara's frie nds towards her?A) Dislike.B) Accepta nee.C) Apology.D) Jealousy.正确答案:BPassage TwoQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.More and more, the operati ons of our bus in ess, gover nmen ts, and finan cial in stituti ons are con trolled by in formatio n that exists only in side computer memories. Anyone clever eno ugh to modify this in formatio n for his own purposes can reap substa ntial rewards. Eve n worse, a nu mber of people who have done this and bee n caught at it have man aged to get away without puni shme nt.It's easy for computer crimes to go un detected if no one checks up on what the computer is doing, but even if the crime is detected, the criminal may walk away not only unpunished but with a glowing recommendation from his former employers. Of course, we have no statistics on crimes that go undetected. But it's disturbing to note how many of the crimes we do know about were detected by accide nt, not by systematic in specti ons or other security procedures. The computer crim in als who have bee n caught may have bee n the victims of un com monly bad luck.For example, a certain keypunch operator complained of having to stay overtime to punch extra cards. Investigation revealed that the extra cards she was being asked to punch were for dish on est tran sact ions. In ano ther case, dissatisfied employees of the thief tipped off the company that was being robbed. Un like other lawbreakers, who must leave the coun try, commit suicide, or go to jail, computer crim in als sometimes escape puni shme nt, dema nding not only that they not be charged but that they be give n good recomme ndati ons and perhaps other ben efits. All too ofte n, their dema nds have bee n met.Why? Because compa ny executives are afraid of the bad publicity that would result if the public found out their computer had been misused.They hesitate at the thought of a criminal boasting in open court of how he juggled the most con fide ntial records right un der the no ses of the compa ny's executives, accountants, and security staff. And so another computer criminal departs with just the recomme ndati ons he n eeds to con ti nue his crimes elsewhere.36.It can be con eluded from the passage that ______ .A) it is still impossible to detect computer crimes todayB) computer crimes are one of most serious problems in the operation of the finan cial in stituti onsC) computer crim in als can escape puni shme nt because they can't be detectedD) people commit computer crimes at the request of their compa ny正确答案:B37.It is implied in the third paragraph that ______ .A) more computer crimes go un detected tha n are discoveredB) the rapid in crease of computer crimes is a troublesome problemC) most computer crimi nals are smart eno ugh to cover up their crimesD) most computer crim in als who are caught blame their bad luck正确答案:A38.Which of the follow ing is men ti oned in the passage?A) A strict law aga inst computer crimes must be en forced.B) Compa nies n eed to impose restrictio ns on con fide ntial in formati on.C) Compa nies will guard aga inst computer crimes to protect their reputati on.D) Compa nies usually hesitate to un cover computer crimes.正确答案:D39.The un derly ing reas on for the computer crim in als to get recomme ndati ons he n eeds is that ___ .A) they have skills formidably difficult for others to masterB) the employers are afraid that they would take ave nge if puni shedC) the employers are much afraid of bringing the public into disbelief towards them through the criminals' words in open courtD) those who commit crimes do not mea n bad正确答案:C40.What may happe n to computer crim in als once they are caught?A) With bad reputation they can hardly find another job.B) They will be denied access to con fide ntial records.C) They may walk away and easily find ano ther job.D) They must leave the country or go to jail.正确答案:CPart III Vocabulary and Structure ( 10 minutes )Direct ions: There are a nu mber of in complete senten ces in this part.
