Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage:If women are mercilessly exploited year after year, they have only themselves to blame. Because they tremble at the thought of being seen in public in clothes that are out of fashion, they are always taken advantage of by the designers and the big stories. Clothes, which have been worn only a few tunes, have to be put aside because of the change of fashion. When you come to think of it, only a woman is capable of standing in front of a wardrobe packed full of clothes and announcing sadly that she has nothing to wear.Changing fashions are nothing more than the intentional creation of waste. Many women spend vast sums of money each year to replace clothes that have hardly been worn. Women who cannot afford to throw away clothing in this way, waste hours of their time altering the dresses they have. Skirts are lengthened or shortened: necklines are lowered or raised, and so on.No one can claim mat the fashion industry contributes anything really important to society. Fashion designers are rarely concerned with vital things like warmth, comfort and durability. They are only interested in outward appearance and they lake advantage of the fact that women will put up with any amount of discomfort, as long as they look right. There can hardly be a man who hasn't at some lime in his life smiled at the sight of a woman shaking in a thin dress on a winter day, or delicately picking her way through deep snow in high--heeled shoes.When comparing men and women in the matter of fashion, the conclusions to bedrawn are obvious. Do the constantly changing fashion of women's clothes, one wonders, reflect basic qualities of inconstancy and instability? Men are too clever to let themselves be cheated by fashion designers. Do their unchanging styles of dress reflect basic qualities of stability and reliability? That is for you to decide.21. What is the tone of the passage?A) CriticizingB) PraisingC) Matter-of-factD) Enthusiastic22. According to the author, fashion is a thing that ____.A) is neither a waste of money nor a waste of timeB) contributes something really important to the societyC) is practicalD) makes its followers suffer23. Which of the implications about the last paragraph is TRUE?A) Women are inconsistent and unstable.B) Men are stable and reliable.C) Dress cannot reflect a person's character.D) Men are clever enough not to care about women's appearance.24. This passage is most probably written____.A) from a woman's point of viewB) from a man's point of viewC) by a womanD) by a man25. With regard to the whole passage, who are to blame for the quickly changing fashion industry?A) Women themselves.B) Fashion designers.C) Big stores.D) All of the above.Passage TwoQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage:Marshall Field's, a department store in Chicago, has long used the motto: "Give the lady what she wants." Finding out what the customer wants is one of the problems marketing research tries to solve. Marketing research has been defined as trying to analyze marketing problems scientifically. It studies people as buyers and sellers, examining their habits, attitudes, preferences, dislikes, and purchasing power. It oftenstudies specific groups of people, such as teenagers, high-income groups, or senior citizens. Marketing research also investigates distribution systems, pricing, promotion, product design, packaging, brand names, and almost every aspect of the seller-buyer relationship.Marketing research is divided into number of sub-areas. Advertising research attempts to find out the effectiveness of advertising. It also seeks to learn the best media for advertising specific products; television, newspapers, radio, magazines, billboards, and others. Market analysis tries to identify and measure markets for specific products and to estimate sales potential. Markets may be differentiated by population groups or by geography. Some types of clothing are more likely to sell in Florida and California than in the northern Midwest. Some cosmetics(化妆品)will appeal more to black customers than to white customers. Performance analysis helps a company learn how well it is meeting its goals of sales and profits. Product research covers the whole area of new-product development. Marketing research is an expensive undertaking, and its costs are built into the prices of products.26. The distribution system aims to ____.A) sell goods in marketsB) deliver products to different placesC) analyze productsD) produce and sell goods27. As far as advertising is concerned, television ____.A) is the best medium for direct advertisingB) is the best medium for indirect advertisingC) is a suitable medium only for certain goodsD) is the quickest and cheapest means of advertising28. Sweaters produced for and sold to young women are examples of market differentiation according to ____.A) age and educationB) population groupC) quality and sizeD) gender and occupation29. Performance analysis and product analysis differ in that ____.A) the former aims to find out how a goal is met in a more efficient wayB) the former is to find out if the present performance is directed to the goalC) the latter aims to find out how the present product is marketedD) the latter aims to find out whether a product is being sold well30. According to the last paragraph, the cost of marketing research ____.A) is supplied by the producer and seller togetherB) is met by increasing the price of the productC) is too expensive to be met only by the producerD) is high but the price of the product should be kept lowPassage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:It is commonly believed in the United States that school is where people go to get an education. Nevertheless, it has been said that today children interrupt their education to go to school. The distinction between schooling and education implied by this remark is important.Education is much more open-ended and all-inclusive than schooling, Education knows no bounds. It can take place anywhere, whether in the shower or on the job, whether in a kitchen or on a tractor. It includes both the formal learning that takes place in schools and the whole universe of informal learning. The agents of education can range from a respected grandparent to the people debating politics on the radio, from a child to a distinguished scientist. Whereas schooling has certain predictability, education quite often produces surprises. A chance conversation with a stranger may lead a person to discover how little is known of other religions. People are engaged in education from infancy on. Education, then, is a very broad, inclusive term. It is a lifelong process, a process that starts long before the start of school, and one that should be an integral (组成的) part of one's entire life.Schooling, on the other hand, is a specific, formalized process, whose general pattern varies little from one setting to the next. Throughout a country, children arrive at school at approximately the same time, lake assigned seats, are taught by an adult, use similar textbooks, do homework, take exams, and so on. The slices of reality that are to be learned, whether they are the alphabet or an understanding of the workings of government, have usually been limited by the boundaries of the subject being taught. For example, high school students know that they are not likely to find out in their classes the truth about political problems in their communities or what the newest filmmakers are experimenting with. There are definite conditions surrounding the formalized process of schooling.31. What is the main idea of the passage?A) Education and schooling are quite different experiences.B) One can receive education everywhere; going to school is not a must.C) The common belief that people go to school to get an education is wrong.D) Schooling offers a limited section of formal training while education covers a vast field of informal training.32. What does the author probably mean by “children interrupt their education to go to school”(Para.1)?A) The more years students go to school, the worse their education is.B) People are engaged in education the whole life.C) Children go to school just to make trouble.D) Schooling is not educationally beneficial.33. The phrase "For example" in Para.3 introduces a sentence that gives examples of ____.A) the slices of reality that are to be learnedB) the results of schoolingC) limitations of classroom teachingD) the similarities of alt schools34. Which of the following conclusions does the passage support?A) Without formal education, people would remain ignorant.B) Education systems need to be thoroughly reformed.C) Education involves many years of competence training.D) Going to school is only part of one's education.35. The passage is written in the way of ____.A) contrasting the meanings of two related wordsB) giving examples of different kinds of educationC) listing and discussing several educational problemsD) providing facts to support an argumentPassage FourQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:Under normal conditions the act of communication requires the presence of at least two persons: one who sends and one who receives the communication. In order to communicate thoughts and feelings, there must be a conventional system of signs or symbols which mean the same to the sender and receiver.The means of sending communications are too numerous and varied for systematic classification; therefore, the analysis must begin with the means of receiving communication. Reception of communication is achieved by our senses. Sight, hearing, and touch play the most important roles. Smell and taste play very limited roles, for they cannot receive intellectual expression from fully developed systems of signs and symbols.Examples of visual communication are gesture and mimicry(模仿). Although both frequently accompany speech, there are systems that rely solely on sight, such as those used by deaf and dumb persons. Another means of communicating visually is by signals of fire, smoke, flags, or flashing lights. Feelings may be simply communicated by touch, such as by handshaking or backslapping, although a highly developed system of hand-stroking(抚摸手)has enabled blind, deaf, and dumb persons to communicate intelligently. Whistling to someone, applauding in a theater, and other forms of communication by sound rely upon the ear as a receiver. The most fully developed form of auditory communication is, of course, the spoken language.The means of communication mentioned so far have two features in common:they last only a short time, and the persons involved must be relatively close to each other. Therefore, all are restricted in time and space.36. The author explains that he will deal with reception of communication first because ____.A) communication actually takes place when the message is receivedB) there are more means of receiving than of sending communicationsC) reception of communications involves use of the sensesD) it is difficult to organize by the means of sending communications37. Applauding is specifically mentioned as an example of ____.A) communication by soundB) gesture and mimicryC) communication by touchD) a simple system of visual communication38. Persons who cannot see, hear, or speak are able to communicate through a system of ____.A) gesturingB) handshakingC) hand-strokingD) backslapping39. The author specifically mentions that speech is ____.A) often used when communicating by touchB) the most developed form of communication based on hearingC) the only highly developed system of communicationD) necessary for satisfactory communication by gesture40. Which of the following statements about the ways of communicating ideas and feelings mentioned in the passage is NOT TRUE?A) They can be used to communicate over long distances.B) They require both a sender and a receiver.C) They involve use of conventional signs and symbols.D) They utilize the senses for reception.Part III Vocabulary and Structure (20 minutes) Directions: There are 30 incomplete sentences in this part.

This 71 called laziness, but Dr. Kleitman has a new explanation. He has proved that everyone has a daily energy 72. During the hours when you 73 your work you may say that you're "hot". That's true.

Ever since he appeared on the earth man has been depending on animals for many things, such as meat, fur and medical materials. Some clever animals like dogs and horses have long been man’s friends and good helpers in his daily life. On the other hand, animals have been depending on man for the protection of their habitat and their reproduction.But the present condition of wildlife is discouraging. Their living space is becoming increasingly smaller as a result of environmental pollution and the destruction of forests. Owing to man’s capture and killing a lot of species have already died out, and many more are now on the verge of extinction. So the total number and species of wild animals are greatly reducing. If such state of affairs should continue, man would ultimately become the only creature on this planet.Animals are part of the whole ecological system, and without them the balance of nature will be destroyed and man will not be able to live on. Therefore, some effective measures should be taken to protect wildlife. First, man should be more aware of the importance of protecting animals and loving those fellow creatures. Second, relevant laws should be made to punish those who cut down trees or kill animals at random.Third, better living environments for wild animals, such as natural reservations and national parks, should be created. In short, the world won’t look so beautiful unless man and animals live in harmony forever.。

collapse.Especially in some developing countries,the metropolis are overcrowded all the time.Thronged streets, stuffed buses and jammed subways continuously batter people's lives.Some optimists,

If you’re interested in starting a book club, you should consider the following options and recommendations.Before recruiting, think carefully about how many people you want to participate and also what the club’s focus will be. For example, some book clubs focus exclusively on fiction; others read nonfiction. Some are even more specific, focusing only on a particular type such as mysteries, science fiction, or romance. Others have a more flexible and open focus. All of these possibilities can make for a great club, but it is important to decide on a focus at the beginning so the guidelines will be clear to the group and potential member.After setting the basic principles, recruitment can begin. Notify friends and family, advertise in the local newspaper and on bulletin boards in local stores, colleges, libraries, and bookstores. When enough people express interest, schedule a kick-off meeting during whichdecisions will be made about specific guidelines that will ensure the club runs smoothly. This meeting will need to establish where the group will meet (rotating homes or a public place such as a library or coffee shop); how often the group will meet, and on what day of the week and at what time; how long the meetings will be; how books will be chosen and by whom; who will lead the group (if anyone); and whether snacks will be served and if so, who will supply them. By the end of this meeting, these guidelines should be set and a book selection and date for the first official meeting should be finalized.Planning and running a book club is not without challenges, but when a book club is run effectively, the experience can be extremely rewarding for everyone involved.31.When starting a book club, one should first.A.notify his friends and familyB.put an ad in a local newspaperC.decide on the focus and size of the clubD.consider when and where the group will meet32.According to Paragraph 2, the “focus” of a book club refers to.A.fundsB.locationsC.book typesD.members33.Which of the following would NOT be covered at the kick-off meeting?A.Deciding on whether snacks will be served.B.Discussing whether to appoint a leader.C.Determiningthe club’s first selection.D.Planning the club’s yearly budget.34.Which of the following can be learned from the passage?A.Starting a book club requires good planning.B.A book club is a place to make new friends.C.Starting one’s own book club is better than joining an existing one.D.Smaller groups are better for a variety of reasons.35.The best title for this passage could be“________”.A.Book Clubs: A Great Way to Meet Old FriendsB.Book Club Planning: A Great ChallengeC.Five Steps to Recruit Members for a Book ClubD.Starting a Successful Book Club: A GuidePassage TwoThe Mayan (玛雅) Indians lived in Mexico for thousands of years before the Spanish arrived in the 1500s. The Maya were an intelligent, culturally rich people whoseachievements were many. They had farms, beautiful palaces, and cities with many buildings. The Mayan people knew a lot about nature and the world around them. This knowledge helped them to live a better life than most people of that time, because they could use it to make their lives more comfortable and rewarding. Knowledge about tools and farming, for instance, made their work easier and more productive.The Maya believed in many gods, including rain gods, sun gods, and corn gods. The people built large temples to honor them. Skillful workers built cities around these temples. It was difficult for them to construct these cities, because they had no horses to carry the heavy stones they used to build with. Workers had to carry all of the building materials themselves. Today, many of these ancient Mayan cities and temples are still standing.Usually, only the priests lived in the cities. The other people lived in small villages in the forests. Their houses were much simpler than the elaborate structures in the cities. They lived in small huts with no windows. Most Maya lived a simple life close to nature.Measuring time was important to the Maya, so the Mayan priests made a system to keep track of time, and they madea calendar in which the year was divided into 18 months of20 days each with five days left over. The Mayan calendar was far more accurate than the European calendars of the time.36.

For many months he had admired a beautiful sports car in a dealer’s showroom, and knowing his father could wellafford it, he told him that was all he wanted.As Graduation Day approached, the young man waited for signs that his father had purchased the car. Finally, on the morning of his graduation, his father called him into his private study. His father told him how proud he was to have such a fine son, and told him how much he loved him. He handed his son a beautifully wrapped gift box. Curious, but somewhat disappointed, the young man opened the box and found a lovely, leather-bound Bible, with the young man’s name in gold. Angrily, he raised his voice to his fatherand said, “With all your money you give me a Bible?” He then stormed out of the house, leaving the Bible.Many years passed and the young man was very successful in business. He had a beautiful home and a wonderful family, but realizing his father was very old, he thought perhaps he should go to see him. He had not seen him since that graduation day. Before he could make the arrangements, he received a telegram telling him his father had passed away, and willed all of his possessions to his son. He needed to come home immediately and take care of things.When he arrived at his father’s house, sudden sadness and regret filled his heart. He began to search through his father’s important papers and saw the still new Bible,just as he had left it years ago. With tears, he opened the Bible and began to turn the pages. As he was reading, a car key dropped from the back of the Bible. On the tag was the date of his graduation, and the words “PAID IN FULL”.41.The best title for this passage could be“________”.A.A Tragedy of Father and SonB.A Loving FatherC.The Holy BibleD.A Missed Gift42.On the Graduation Day, what did the father give his son as a gift?A.A Bible and a sports car.B.A beautiful house.C.A lot of money.D.Some gold.43.Before his father’s death, the young man ________.A.learned a lot from his fatherB.got what he had longed forC.failed to understand his fatherD.kept contact with his father44.Which of the following statements is true?A.The young man made fortunes by himself after graduation.B.The young man was proud of his father.C.The father thought his son didn’t deserve the sports car.D.The father couldn’t afford the graduation gift.45.It can be inferred from the passage thatpeople________.A.should visit their parents more oftenB.should cherish what they already haveC.shouldn’t desire more than they deserveD.should be grateful for whatever they are givenPart III Translation(15 minutes, 10 points)Directions:There are 10 sentences in this section.
