2002年江苏省成人学士学位英语考试试卷ENGLISH QUALIFICATION TESTFOR A BACHELOR’S DEGREE(Nov.2002)Paper OnePartⅠListening Comprehension(15minutes15%)(共15题略)Part II Reading Comprehension:Directions:There are some reading passages in this part.Each passage is followed by five questions.For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C and D.You should decide on the best choice and write down the corresponding letter in the Answer Sheet.I hear many parents complaining that their teen-age children are rebelling,I wish it were so. At your age you ought to be growing away from your parents.You should be learning to stand on your own two feet.But take a good look at the present rebellion.It seems that teenagers are all taking the same way of showing that they disagree with their parents.（86）Instead of striking out boldly on their own,most of them are clutching at（attempting to seize）one anothers hands for reassurance.They claim they want to dress as they please.But they all wear the same clothes.They set off in new directions in music.But somehow they all end up crowded round listening to the same record.Their reason for thinking or acting in thus-and-such a way is that the crowd is doing it. They have come out of their cocoon（蚕茧）---into a larger cocoon.It has become harder and harder for a teen-ager to stand up against the popularity wave and to go his or her own way.Industry firmly carved out a teen-age market.These days every teen-ager can learn from the advertisements what a teen-ager should have and be.And many of todays parents have come to award high marks for the popularity of their children.All this adds up to a great barrier for the teen-ager who wants to find his or her own path.But the barrier is worth climbing over.The path is worth following.You may want to listen to classical music instead of going to a party.You may want to collect rocks when everyone else is collecting records.You may have some thoughts that you don care to share at once with your classmates.Well,go to it.Find yourself.Be yourself.Popularity will come-with the people who respect you for who you are.Thats the only kind of popularity that really counts.16.The authors purpose writing this passage is to tell____.A)readers how to be popular in with aroundB)teen-agers how to learn to decide things for themselvesC)parents how to control and guide their childrenD)people how to understand and respect each other17.According to the author,many teen-agers think they are brave enough to act on their own,but, in fact,most of them____.A)have much difficulty understanding each otherB)lack confidenceC)dare not cope with problems single-handedD)are very much afraid of getting lost18.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A)There is no popularity that really counts.B)What many parents are doing is in fact hindering their children from finding their own paths.C)It is not necessarily bad for a teen-ager to disagree with his or her classmates.D)Most teen-agers claim that they want to do what they like to,but they are actually doing the same.19.The author thinks of advertisements as____.A)convincing B)influential C)instructive D)authoritative20.During the teen-age years,one should learn to____.A)differ from others in as many ways as possibleB)get into the right season and become popularC)find ones real selfD)rebel against parents and the popularity wavesThe greatest recent changes have been in the lives of women.During the twentieth century there was an unusual shortening of the time of a woman’s life spent in caring for children.A woman marrying at the end of the19th century would probably have been in her middle twenties, and would be likely to have seven or eight children,of whom four or five lived till they were five years old.By the time the youngest was fifteen,the mother would have been in her early fifties and would expect to live a further twenty years,during which custom,chance and health made it unusual for her to get paid work.Today women marry younger and have fewer ually a woman’s youngest child will be fifteen when she is forty-five and is likely to take paid work until retirement at sixty.Even while she has the care of children,her work is lightened by household appliances（家用电器）and convenience foods.（87）This important change in women’s way of life has only recently begun to have its full effect on women’s economic position.Even a few years ago most girls left school at the first opportunity and most of them took a full-time job.However,when they married,they usually left work at once and never returned to it.Today the school-leaving age is sixteen,many girls stay at school after that age,and though women tend to marry younger,more married women stay at work at least until shortly before their first child is born.Many more after wads,return to full or part-time work.Such changes have led to a new relationship in marriage,with both husband and wife accepting a greater share of the duties and satisfaction of family life,and with both husband and wife sharing more equally in providing the money and running the home,according to the abilities and interest of each of them.21.According to the passage,it is now quite usual for women to________.A.stay at home after leaving schoolB.marry men younger than themselvesC.start working again later in lifeD.marry while still at school22.We are told that in an average family about1990________.A.many children died before they were fiveB.the youngest child would be fifteenC.seven of eight children lived to be more than fiveD.four or five children died when they were five23.Many girls,the passage says,are now likely to________.A.marry so that they can get a jobB.leave school as soon as they canC.give up their jobs for good after they are marriedD.continue working until they are going to have a baby24.One reason why the women of today takes a job is that she.A.is younger when her children are old enough to look after themselvesB.does not like children herselfC.need not worry about food for her childrenD.can retire from family responsibilities25.Nowadays,a husband tends to.A.play a greater part in looking after the childrenB.help his wife by doing most of the houseworkC.feel dissatisfied with role in the familyD.take a part-time jib so that he can help in the homeHe slept for a good six hours,and the sun was high when he awoke.As he sat up and yawned a pair of strong hands seized his shoulders,and in a moment his wrists were tied tightly together behind his back.He turned and stared into Bronco’s hairy face.“What’s this?”he said. The old man tested the knots before answering.“Orders,Black Peter’s changed his mind.Until we can check on you.”Martin swore loudly,then asked if he could talk to Black Peter.Branko shook his head.“He’s busy.”Martin was seized by despair.Now all his plans might fall unless he could gain the confidence of Black Peter.After some thought he stood up and walked to the mouth of the tunnel.Branko followed.The grassy hollows were alive with men busy with their various duties.There must have been a stream somewhere nearby,for a long line of men were taking their horses to the water;others were setting up tents and lighting fire.(88)Immediately opposite was another tunnel at the entrance of which stood two guards armed with guns.Behind them Martin made out the giant form of Black Peter.“There he is,”he said.“I must talk to him.”Branko tried to stop him,but he pushed him aside,walked to the mouth of the tunnel and called out:“Black Peter!I must talk to you.”The leader of the White Eagles was seated on a wooden box,deep in conversation with two rough-looking men.“What is it?”he said.“Why are you checking on me?”Martin replied.“I need to be sure bout you,”said Black Peter.“There’s too much to close.”He pointed into the tunnel,and Martin saw the wooden boxes that he guessed must contain the gold bars.“Is that the treasure?”he asked.Black Peter stood up,struggling between his desire for secrecy and an obvious pride in the success of his plans.“Yes,”he said at last.26.Martin’s night’s rest.A.was disturbedsted less then six hourssted more than six hoursD.was suddenly cut short27.What happened as soon as Martin woke up?A.Branko struck him.B.He was made a prisoner.C.Branko checked that he was still tied up.D.He was taken off to speak to Black Peter.28.The success of Martin’s plans now depended on his.A.escaping from the tunnelB.finding the treasureC.discovering who the leader of the White Eagles wasD.persuading Black Peter that he could be trusted29.When he got to the mouth of the tunnel,Martin saw men.A.in fairly large numbersB.fetching water from the streamC.packing up camp and getting ready to leaveD.resting in small groups30.Black Peter finally admitted that the boxes contained gold because.A.he was so satisfied with what he had doneB.he had decided to trust MartinC.he saw that he could no longer keep it a secretD.he knew that Martin could not escapeAt present,in many American cities especially,many teachers in the public schools say they are underpaid(少付工资的).They point to jobs such as secretary or truck driver,which often pay more to start than that of the teacher.In many other fields,such as law,medicine,computer science,a beginning worker may make more than a teacher who has taught for several year. Teaching has never been a profession that attracted people interested in high salaries.(89)It is by history a profession that has provided rewards in addition to money---the satisfaction of sharing knowledge,of influencing others,of guiding young people.But in the past several years,there are more difficulties in teaching,for many,than there are rewards.Unruly(不守秩序的)students,especially in big cities,large classes and a lack of support from the public in terms of money and understanding have led many public school teachers to leave the profession.(90)As a result,many of the best students,who would have chosen teaching as their life career in the past,are going into other fields.Another reason for this change in teacher candidates(申请求职者)is the changing status of women in the United States.Until the late1960s and1970s,one of the most popular choices for women was teaching.But as other professions,such as law and medicine opened up to women, women stopped pouring into teacher training programs.Thus,a major pool of excellent candidates for the teaching profession dwindled(减少).31.Which of the following can give us a true picture of jobs in the United States?A.People in most professions usually get the same pay at the beginning.B.A beginning worker in medicine earns less than one in any other field.C.A beginning teacher earns as much as a truck driver who has worked for several years.D.A teacher with several years’teaching experience can’t make as much as a new lawyer.32.The writer points out the present situation of teaching,that is,_____.A.teaching is a profession that can always attract best students to work inB.teaching can provide rewards as well as high salariesC.teachers work hard and make a small income compared to workers in many other jobsD.teachers are no longer underpaid33.Many public school teachers turn to other professions because of_____.A.the unruly students and large classesB.the difficulties of teaching as well as a lack of money,support and understandingC.the attracting power of other jobsD.a lack of satisfaction of sharing knowledge and influencing others34.Which of the following is not a reason that influences women in their decision to become teachers?A.he How much income the job can pay.B.Changing status of women.C.Less housework for women to do.D.More professions opened up to women.35.The writer believes that change in teachers’status in the United States___.A.is not greatB.needs timecks support from the governmenD.influences people’s attitudesPartIII Vocabulary and structure:Directions:There

many other Chinese cities began to67 their public buses with68advertisements,Beijing remained unmoved,allegedly69 of consideration for maintaining the stately grace of the capital.But Beijing’s‘lofty

One way is by volcanic eruption (火山爆发).The most famous example is probably the great Roman town of Pompeii in southern Italy . The town was so quickly and completely covered with volcanic ashes from Mount Vesuvius one August day in 79 A. D. that the people of the town hardly knew what was happening to them. A second way may be seen in another part of Europe ,where the surface of the land in the valleys of the Alps(阿尔卑斯山)sank hundreds of years ago and was covered with water and peat (泥炭).

The ABS also forecast the population would reach 20 million by 2006 and 24 million by 2033. Australia reached its first million in 1858.While immigration was responsible for a large part of the population booms in the past, over the last five years new born made up 68 percent of the 1 million increase in population.Australia has one of the lower population growth rates in the region, with New Zealand growing at 1.4 percent. Indonesia at 1. 7 percent and PNG at 2 percent, ABS spokesman Mr. John Paice said.Australians for an Ecologically Sustainable Population: a group of 560 academics, scientists and public, yesterday urged the government to develop a sustainable population strategy to avoid further land and water degradation.National ALP president Barry Jones last year chaired a parliamentary inquiry into what population levels Australia could reach without risking serious pollution and degradation problems.Many of the opinions to the inquiry suggested a population limit of 17-23 million. The government was expected to respond to the Jones report by July, but did not.CSIRO research scientist Dr. Doug Cocks agreed the government needed to develop a population policy."With population size(inAustralia)doubling every 40 to 50 years, we would need another couple of Melbournes and Sydneys by 2050, "Dr. Cocks said.Notes：ABS：澳大利亚统计局 PNG：巴布亚新几内亚ALP：澳大利亚工党 CSIRO：联邦科学与工业研究组织31 As population grows, environment experts may be concerned about all the following except______.（A）water resources（B）food supplying（C）housing（D）radioactive pollution32 From the passage we may infer that______.（A）Victoria' s population growth rate was higher than the average rate（B）In the year to March, the new arrivals were more than new borns in Victoria （C）Five years ago, new borns were more than new arrivals in Victoria（D）Victoria' s population always grew faster than that of any other state.33 Australia' s population growth rate is______.（A）higher than 2 percent（B）higher than 1.4 percent but lower than 1. 7 percent（C）higher than 1.7 percent but lower than 2 percent（D）lower than 1.4 percent34 According to the ABS' forecast, by the year of 2006 Australia' s is population will increase ______.（A）20 million（B）2 million（C）4 million（D）24 million35 Which of the following statements is true? ______.（A）Australia is planning to build another Melbourne and Sydney（B）The Australian government has paid great attention to the public opinion about population control（C）The Australian government has developed a successful population policy（D）At present, the environmental problems in Australia are not very serious yet35 Learn More in Five Days Than Some Managers Learn in Forty WeeksInterpersonal Skills for Senior ManagersPeople management skills are the most important skills a manager can develop. What differentiates the leader from a manager that the leader has acquitted not just the technical and strategic skills but has the interpersonal skills to make things happen.No doubt on your way up through the ranks, you have come across managers who—while they may be very good at other aspects of their job—are decidedly lacking in interpersonal skills. And you know, as they have been told, that their future will be affected greatly by this lack of human skills.This problemis totally devoted to developing those managerial skills in people on their way to the top. It covers motivating, assessing, rewarding, leading and developing people. Very simple models of interpersonal relationships are used to focus attention onunderstanding one' s own behavior, its impact on others, understanding the goals of others and integrating a group into a winning team.Professor John Hunt, Program Director, deliberately limits the number of people on this program to guarantee personal attention between tutors and participants. To match the content precisely to your needs, we ask you to do some pre-course work which includes a survey of those who work with you. This data is linked to our own large databank on how effective managers operate. We then work with you to develop your own specific goals as a manager.36 How long is the course program? ______.（A）Five days（B）Ten weeks（C）Forty weeks（D）Not mentioned37 The course is intended for managers who______.（A）want to strengthen their leadership（B）want to improve their strategic and technical skills（C）lack managerial skills in general（D）lack human management skills38 Some managers will not be promoted simply because______.（A）they are lacking in management strategies（B）they are not good at interpersonal skills（C）they cannot improve their technical skills（D）they cannot go up through the ranks39 What is not true of a leader ? ______.（A）He understands the impact of his own behavior（B）He understands the goals of other people（C）He focuses his attention on other people' s behavior（D）He knows how to motivate people40 According to the last paragraph, which of the following is true? ______.（A）Tutors will make a survey of the participants（B）The participants will finish a survey as a course project（C）The number of participants is restricted（D）Effective managers will present lectures for participants40 Very high waves are destructive when they strike the land. Fortunately, this seldom happens. One reason is that out at sea, waves moving in one direction almost always run into waves moving in a different direction. The two sets of waves tend to cancel each other out. Another reason is that water is shallower near the shore. As a wave gets closer to land, the shallow bottom helps reduce its strength.But the power of waves striking the shore can still be very great. During a winter gale, waves sometimes strike the shore with the force of 6, 000 pounds for each square foot. That means a wave, 25 feet high and 500 feet long it face, may strike the shore with a force of 75 million pounds.Yet the waves, no matter how big or how violent, affect only the surface of the sea. During the most raging storms, the water a hundred fathoms(600 feet)beneath the surface is just as calm as a day without a breath of wind.41 According to the passage, destruction caused by high waves occurs______.（A）regularly（B）rarely（C）always（D）predictably42 We know from this passage that out at sea, when waves going in opposite directions meet, their force______.（A）causes great damage（B）is liable to lessen（C）extends to the ocean floor（D）increase rapidly43 It' s clear from the passage that coastal depth______.（A）is the only factor influencing the strength of high waves（B）influences the power of high waves（C）has no influence upon the strength of very high waves（D）is irrelevant to the question of the power of high waves44 From the second paragraph of the passage we know that the power of very high waves striking the shore is______.（A）constant（B）equalized（C）variable（D）perpetual45 From your reading of the passage, which of the following is true? ______.（A）At a depth of 1200 feet the effects of a violent surface storm are frightful（B）A submarine commander navigating his vessel at a depth of 700 feet will not be affected by a raging surface storm（C）A typhoon 500 miles out at sea can stir up the ocean floor（D）If high waves can strike the shore with a horizontal force of 75 million pounds, the vertical force of such waves can have an even greater effect upon the floor45 Generations of Americans have been brought up to believe that a good breakfast is one of life' s essentials. Eating breakfast at the start of the day, we have all been told, is as necessary as putting gasoline in the family car before starting a trip.But for many people the thought of foods the first thing in the morning is by no means a pleasure. So despite on the efforts, they still take no breakfast. Between 1997 and 1983 , the latest years for which figures are available, the number of people who didn' t have breakfast increased by 33 percent—from 8. 8 million to 11.7 million—according to the Chicago—based Market Research Corporation of America.For those who feel pain or guilt about not eating breakfast, however, there is some good news. Several studies in the last few years indicate that, for adults especially, there may be nothing wrong with omitting breakfast. "Going without breakfast does not affectperformance, " Said Arnold E. Bender , the former professor of nutrition at Queen Elizabeth College in London, " nor does giving people breakfast improve performance. " Scientific evidence linking breakfast to better health or better performance is surprisingly inadequate and most of the recent work involves children, not adults. "The literature, " says one researcher, Dr. Ernesto Poillit at the University of Texas, " is poor. "46 The passage is mainly concerned with______.（A）a study of the Chicago—based Market Research Corporation（B）one of life' s essentials（C）latest figures of people who don't eat breakfast（D）breakfast and human health47 For those who do not take breakfast, the good news is that______.（A）several studies have been done in the past few years（B）not eating breakfast does no harm to one' s health（C）adults have especially made studies in this field（D）eating little in the morning may be good for health48 In the third paragraph "nor does giving people breakfast improve performance, "means______.（A）anyone without breakfast does improve his performance（B）not giving people breakfast improves performance（C）people having breakfast do improve their performance（D）having breakfast does not improve performance, either49 The word "literature" in the last sentence refers to______.（A）stories about breakfast（B）written works on a particular subject（C）any printed materials（D）the modern novels of America50 What is implied but NOT stated by the author is that______.（A）not eating breakfast might affect the health of children（B）breakfast does not affect performance（C）Professor Bender once taught college courses in nutrition in London（D）people who don' t eat breakfast have increased50 In everyday usage "hot"means "having a lot of heat". Many people think that "cold"is something completely separated from heat. But this is not true, "cold" simply means "having very little heat. "Your life depends on heat. In fact, every living thing depends on it. Without heat, every living thing would be frozen to death. All living things get their heat from the sun, which provides the conditions in which life is possible.Since before the dawn of history, man has been able to make his own heat. He has been able to release the sun' s heat that is trapped in things such as wood, coal, and oil. And he has been able to use this heat.Heat has made civilization possible. With heat, man could melt metals. As man learned to use metals and fuels, industries grew. As a result, engines were invented. These aremachines that change heat energy into mechanical energy. Engine can do the work of many men. Without engines industrial civilization is impossible.Yet when the first engines were built in the 17th century, men were still wondering about the nature of heat. "What is it?" they asked. Not until the early years of the 19th century did they find the right answer.51 What does "hot" mean in everyday usage?52 "Your life depends on heat. " What does the sentence mean?53 Where can man get heat?54 What started industrial civilization?55 When did man find the nature of heat?二、Word Formation56 Collecting stamps can be more than a hobby. It can be a______(profit)business.57 There was an______(expect)two-hour delay because of the bad weather.58 The fact that many people have an______(instinct)dread of snakes puzzles scientists.59 Attracted by a ______(lead)advertisement in the newspaper, a great number of people bought the new brand of wine and became seriously sick.60 After two months' careful______(observe)the two scientists came to quite different conclusions.61 Though he felt it______(fair)to punish only him, he could do nothing about it.62 My______(origin)plan was to become a scientist but I didn't succeed.63 An______(energy)effort on the part of all members will ensure the success of our plan.64 Many foreign words and phrases have______(rich)the English language.65 I have a______(like)for studying and would rather play football.三、Writing66 For this part you are supposed to write a composition about Staying Healthy in several paragraphs.

The parrot was unique. There was no bird like him in the whole world. He could learn to say any word except one. He could not say the name of his native town, Ketunnel. The man did everything he could to teach the parrot to say Ketunnel, but he neversucceeded. At first he was very gentle with the bird. But gradually, he lost his temper. "You stupid bird. Why can't you learn to say that one word? Say Ketunnel or I will kill you." But the parrot would not say it. Many times the man screamed, "Say Ketunel, or I'll kill you." But the bird would never repeat the name. Finally, the man gave up. He picked up the parrot and threw him into the chicken house. "You are even more stupid than the chickens." In the chicken house, there were four old chickens, waiting to be killed for Sunday's dinner. The next morning, when he went out of the chicken house, the man opened the door. He was shocked by what he saw. He could not believe his eyes and ears. On the floor lay three dead chickens. The parrot was screaming at the fourth, "Say Ketunel, or I'll kill you."11.Why did the man lose his temper?12.Who killed the three chickens?13.Why was the shocked at the scene the next morning?Passage 2In Britain, if you are found guilty of a crime, you can be sent to prison or be fined or be ordered to do community work such as tidying public places and helping the old. You may also be sent to special centers when you learn special skills like cooking, writing and car maintenance. About 5 percent of the present population are women. Many prisons were built over one hundred years ago. But the government will have built 11 new prisons by next year. There are two sorts of prisons. The open sort and the closed sort. In the closed sort, prisoners are given very little freedom. They spend three to ten hours outside their cells when they exercise, eat, study, learn skills, watch TV and talk to other prisoners. All prisoners are expected to work. Most of them are paid for what they do, whether it is doing maintenance or cooking and cleaning. Prisoners in open prisons are locked up at night, but for the rest of the time, they are free within the prison grounds. They can exercise, have visitors, or study. And some are allowed out of the ground to study or to do community work.14.What do we know about women prisoners in Britain?15.In what way are open prisons different from closed prisons?16.What do we learn about prisoners in Britain?Passage 3London taxi drivers know the capital like the back of their hands. No matter how small or indistinct the street is, the driver will be able to get you there without any trouble. The reason London taxi drivers are so efficient is that they all have gone through a very tough training period to get special taxi driving license. During this period, which can take two to four years, the would-be taxi driver has to learn the most direct route to every single road and to every important building in London. To achieve this, most learners go around the city on small motorbikes practicing how to move to and from different points of the city. Learner taxi drivers are tested several times during the training period by government officers. The exams are terrible experience. The officers ask you "How do you get from Birmingham palace to the Tower of London?" and you have to take them there in the direct line. When you get to the tower, they won't say "well done". They will quickly move on to the next question. After five or six questions, they will just say "See you in two months' time." and then you know the exam is over. Learner drivers are not allowed to work and earn money as drivers. Therefore, many of them keep their previous jobs until they have obtained the license. The training can cost quite a lot, because learners have to pay for their own expenses on the tests and the medical exam.17.Why are London taxi drivers very efficient?18.How long does the training period last?19.Why does the speaker think the driving test is a terrible experience?20.Why do learner drivers have to keep their present jobs?Part II Reading Comprehension (30 Points)Questions 21-25 are based on the following passage.21.

In the schools of ancient Greece and Rome, testing usually consisted of saying poetry aloud or giving speeches.In the European universities of the Middle Ages, students who were working for advanced degrees had to discuss questions in their field of study with people who had made a special study of the subject. This custom exists today as part of the process of testing candidates for the doctor's degree.Generally, however, modern examinations are written. The written examination, where all students are tested on the same question, was probably not known until the nineteenth century. Perhaps it came into existence with the great increase in population and the development of modern industry. A room full of candidates for a state examination, timed exactly by electric clocks and carefully watched over by managers, resembles a group of workers at an automobile factory. Generally, during examinations teachers and students are expected to act like machines.One type of test is sometimes called an "objective" test. It is intended to deal with facts, not personal opinions. To make up an objective test the teacher writes a series of questions, each of which has only one correct answer. Along with each question the teacher writes the correct answer and also three statements that look like correct answers to students who have not learned the material properly.SSS_SINGLE_SEL1.In the Middle Ages students ______.A took objective testsB specialized in one subjectC were timed by electric clocksD never wrote examsSSS_SINGLE_SEL2.The main idea of paragraph 3 is that ______.A workers now take examinationsB the population has grownC there are only written examsD examinations are now written and timedSSS_SINGLE_SEL3.The kind of exams where students must select answers are ______.A personalB spokenC objectiveD writtenSSS_SINGLE_SEL4.Modern industry must have developed ______.A before the Middle AgesB around the 19th centuryC in Greece or RomeD machines to take testsSSS_SINGLE_SEL5.It may be concluded that testing ______.A should test only opinionsB should always be writtenC has changed since the Middle AgesD is given only in factoriesPassage 2The market investigation is indispensable to sales promotion. They are as closely related as the lips and teeth, so to speak. What you produce is for sale on the market. It would be impossible to succeed in selling a product without first investigating the market.In the international market, goods on **ing from different countries and suppliers are always facing **petition. Under such circumstances, they will try everything possible to familiarize themselves with the market conditions. In making investigations, we ought to get information about what similar items **petitors are offering on the market, what prices they are quoting (报价), what features their products have, who are their regular customers, etc.Then, how can we obtain such information? There are many channels that we can make use of in doing this sort of work. **mercial counselor's offices of our embassies stationed abroad can help us in making market investigations. Nowadays, our import and export corporations send their trade groups abroad every now and then. One of their purposes is to make market surveys on the spot.Certainly, face-to-face talks with foreign businessmen are also important channels to get market information. The Chinese Export Commodities Fairs and some other fairs of similar nature as well as visits of foreign businessmen provide us with such opportunities. Of course, there are some other ways of making market investigations.SSS_SINGLE_SEL6.In making market investigation, one should ______.A get enough information concernedB advertise his productsC produce high quality goodsD none of the aboveSSS_SINGLE_SEL7.The word "indispensable" in the first line means ______.A impossibleB essentialC advisableD availableSSS_SINGLE_SEL8.Which of the following statements is NOT true?A The relationship between market investigation and sales promotion is just as that of the lips and teeth.B It is impossible to succeed in selling a product without market investigation.C There are various ways of making market investigation.D Production goes before market investigation.SSS_SINGLE_SEL9.Making market investigation is very important because ______.A in market, goods on sale are numerousB every producer is facing **petitionC it can greatly promote shiesD all of the aboveSSS_SINGLE_SEL10.All the following are channels to get market information except______.A to **mercial counsellor's office of our embassies stationed abroadB to promote the quality of our own productsC to send trade groups abroad every now and thenD to have face-to-face talks with foreign businessmenPassage 3On November 19, 1863, Abraham Lincoln went to Gettysburg in Pennsylvania to speak at the National Soldiers Cemetery. The Civil War was still going on. There was much criticism of President Lincoln at the time. He was not at all popular. He had been invited to speak at Gettysburg only out of politeness. The principal speaker was to be Edward Everett, a famous statesman and speaker of the day. Everett was a handsome man and very popular everywhere.It is said that Lincoln prepared his speech on the train while going to Gettysburg. Late that night, alone in his hotel room and tired out, he again worked briefly on the speech. The next day Everett spoke first. He spoke for an hour and 57 minutes. His speech was a perfect example of the rich oratory of the day. Then Lincoln rose. The crowd of 15,000 people at first paid little attention to him. He spoke for only nine minutes. At the end there was little applause. Lincoln turned to a friend and remarked, "I have failed again." On the train back to Washington, he said sadly, "That speech was a flat failure, and the people are disappointed."Some newspapers at first criticized the speech. But little by little as people read the speech they began to understand better. They began to appreciate its simplicity and its deep meaning. It was a speech which only Abraham Lincoln could have made.Today, every American school child learns Lincoln's Gettysburg Address by heart. Now everyone thinks of it as one of the greatest speeches ever given in American history.SSS_SINGLE_SEL11.In 1863, Abraham Lincoln was ______.A very criticalB unpopularC very popularD very courteousSSS_SINGLE_SEL12.Lincoln was invited to speak at the National Soldiers Cemetery because he was ______.A a famous speakerB a very handsome manC President of the countryD a popular statesmanSSS_SINGLE_SEL13.It can be inferred from the text that ______.A Lincoln prepared his speech very carefully before he went to GettysburgB Lincoln was very busy at the time and didn't have much time to prepare his speechC Lincoln's speech was full of rich wordsD Lincoln's speech was very longSSS_SINGLE_SEL14.It was a fact that Lincoln's speech was ______.A an immediate successB warmly applaudedC a total failureD not well-received at firstSSS_SINGLE_SEL15.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A Lincoln's Gettysburg Address has deep meaning.B Lincoln's Gettysburg Address is simple in style.C Lincoln's Gettysburg Address is memorized by every American school child.D Lincoln's Gettysburg Address is the greatest speech ever delivered in the United States.Passage 4Animals seem to have the sense to eat when they are hungry and they do not eat more than their bodies need. It has been demonstrated that rats will, when given a choice over a period of time, preferwater with vitamins to water without vitamins even though there is no difference in taste or smell between the two water bottles. When a fragrant flavor was added to the vitamin-enriched fluid, the rats did seem to develop a taste for it and kept drinking it, even after the vitamins were switched to the clear water. In time, however, they broke the habit and went back to where the necessary vitamins were.In a classic experiment, babies of 6 to 12 months old were placed in a cafeteria feeding arrangement, with a wide selection of baby food before them. They were given whatever food they pointed to or appeared interested in, We are told that at first they showed some unusual eating patterns, but that over a period of time they managed to select well-balanced diet.So, in selecting food, rats and babies do seem to know and act on what's best for them. Apparently, there is a kind of "body wisdom", which humans soon lose. Most of us do not eat as wisely as we could. Many of our food preferences are culturally determined and influenced by long-established habits. Some people eat foxes, dogs and blackbirds, while we eat cows and pigs. So what people eat and how much they eat seems to be greatly influenced by what is going on around them.SSS_SINGLE_SEL16.In the experiment on rats, a fragrant flavor was added to the rat's drinking water to ______.A encourage rats to drink vitamin-enriched waterB find out rats' preference in flavorC test whether rats know which drink is good for themD demonstrate that vitamins are tastelessSSS_SINGLE_SEL17.The expression "the habit" (paragraph 1, sentence 4) refers to drinking water which ______.A has no smellB is tastelessC has vitaminsD is flavoredSSS_SINGLE_SEL18.According to the passage, adults' eating habits differ from those of babies because ______.A adults know better than babies what kind of food are good for their healthB adults usually cannot resist the temptation of various delicious foodsC adults' eating habits are closely related to the social and cultural customsD adults have more choices of food than babies in eating patternsSSS_SINGLE_SEL19.The author implied ih the passage that most of us ______.A eat a balanced dietB choose the food that is of nutritionC have the habits influenced by the surroundingsD like to eat the food with a fragrant flavorSSS_SINGLE_SEL20.As far as their eating habits are concerned, babies and rats are similar in that ______.A both have the wisdom to choose a balanced dietB both prefer flavored food and drinkC both have the same eating patternsD both develop a taste for the same kinds of flavorsPart Ⅱ Vocabulary and StructureDirections: "In this part there are 40 incomplete sentences.

The ABS also forecast the population would reach 20 million by 2006 and 24 million by 2033. Australia reached its first million in 1858.While immigration was responsible for a large part of the population booms in the past, over the last five years new born made up 68 percent of the 1 million increase in population.Australia has one of the lower population growth rates in the region, with New Zealand growing at 1.4 percent. Indonesia at 1.7 percent and PNG at 2 percent, ABS spokesman Mr. John Paice said.Australians for an Ecologically Sustainable Population: agroup of 560 academics, scientists and public, yesterday urged the government to develop a sustainable population strategy to avoid further land and water degradation.National ALP president Barry Jones last year chaired a parliamentary inquiry into what population levels Australia could reach without risking serious pollution and degradation problems.Many of the opinions to the inquiry suggested a population limit of 17-23 million. The government was expected to respond to the Jones report by July, but did not.CSIRO research scientist Dr. Doug Cocks agreed the government needed to develop a population policy."With population size(inAustralia)doubling every 40 to 50 years, we would need another couple of Melbournes and Sydneys by 2050, "Dr. Cocks said.Notes：ABS：澳大利亚统计局 PNG：巴布亚新几内亚ALP：澳大利亚工党 CSIRO：联邦科学与工业研究组织31 As population grows, environment experts may be concerned about all the following except______.（A）water resources（B）food supplying（C）housing（D）radioactive pollution32 From the passage we may infer that______.（A）Victoria' s population growth rate was higher than the average rate（B）In the year to March, the new arrivals were more than new borns in Victoria （C）Five years ago, new borns were more than new arrivals in Victoria（D）Victoria' s population always grew faster than that of any other state.33 Australia' s population growth rate is______.（A）higher than 2 percent（B）higher than 1.4 percent but lower than 1. 7 percent（C）higher than 1.7 percent but lower than 2 percent（D）lower than 1.4 percent34 According to the ABS' forecast, by the year of 2006 Australia' s is population will increase ______.（A）20 million（B）2 million（C）4 million（D）24 million35 Which of the following statements is true? ______.（A）Australia is planning to build another Melbourne and Sydney（B）The Australian government has paid great attention to the public opinion about population control（C）The Australian government has developed a successful population policy（D）At present, the environmental problems in Australia are not very serious yet35 Learn More in Five Days Than Some Managers Learn in Forty WeeksInterpersonal Skills for Senior ManagersPeople management skills are the most important skills a manager can develop. What differentiates the leader from a manager that the leader has acquitted not just the technical and strategic skills but has the interpersonal skills to make things happen.No doubt on your way up through the ranks, you have come across managers who—while they may be very good at other aspects of their job—are decidedly lacking in interpersonal skills. And you know, as they have been told, that their future will be affected greatly by this lack of human skills.This problemis totally devoted to developing those managerial skills in people on their way to the top. It covers motivating, assessing, rewarding, leading and developing people. Very simple models of interpersonal relationships are used to focus attention onunderstanding one' s own behavior, its impact on others, understanding the goals of others and integrating a group into a winning team.Professor John Hunt, Program Director, deliberately limits the number of people on this program to guarantee personal attention between tutors and participants. To match the content precisely to your needs, we ask you to do some pre-course work which includes a survey of those who work with you. This data is linked to our own large databank on how effective managers operate. We then work with you to develop your own specific goals as a manager.36 How long is the course program? ______.（A）Five days（B）T en weeks（C）Forty weeks（D）Not mentioned37 The course is intended for managers who______.（A）want to strengthen their leadership（B）want to improve their strategic and technical skills（C）lack managerial skills in general（D）lack human management skills38 Some managers will not be promoted simply because______.（A）they are lacking in management strategies（B）they are not good at interpersonal skills（C）they cannot improve their technical skills（D）they cannot go up through the ranks39 What is not true of a leader ? ______.（A）He understands the impact of his own behavior（B）He understands the goals of other people（C）He focuses his attention on other people' s behavior（D）He knows how to motivate people40 According to the last paragraph, which of the following is true? ______.（A）Tutors will make a survey of the participants（B）The participants will finish a survey as a course project （C）The number of participants is restricted（D）Effective managers will present lectures for participants40 Very high waves are destructive when they strike the land. Fortunately, this seldom happens. One reason is that out at sea, waves moving in one direction almost always run into waves moving in a different direction. The two sets of waves tend to cancel each other out. Another reason is that water is shallower near the shore. As a wave gets closer to land, the shallow bottom helps reduce its strength.But the power of waves striking the shore can still be very great. During a winter gale, waves sometimes strike the shore with the force of 6, 000 pounds for each square foot. That means a wave, 25 feet high and 500 feet long it face, may strike the shore with a force of 75 million pounds.Yet the waves, no matter how big or how violent, affect only the surface of the sea. During the most raging storms, the water a hundred fathoms(600 feet)beneath the surface is just as calm as a day without a breath of wind.41 According to the passage, destruction caused by high waves occurs______.（A）regularly（B）rarely（C）always（D）predictably42 We know from this passage that out at sea, when waves going in opposite directions meet, their force______.（A）causes great damage（B）is liable to lessen（C）extends to the ocean floor（D）increase rapidly43 It' s clear from the passage that coastal depth______.（A）is the only factor influencing the strength of high waves （B）influences the power of high waves（C）has no influence upon the strength of very high waves （D）is irrelevant to the question of the power of high waves44 From the second paragraph of the passage we know that the power of very high waves striking the shore is______.（A）constant（B）equalized（C）variable（D）perpetual45 From your reading of the passage, which of the following is true? ______.（A）At a depth of 1200 feet the effects of a violent surfacestorm are frightful（B）A submarine commander navigating his vessel at a depth of 700 feet will not be affected by a raging surface storm （C）A typhoon 500 miles out at sea can stir up the ocean floor（D）If high waves can strike the shore with a horizontal force of 75 million pounds, the vertical force of such waves can have an even greater effect upon the floor45 Generations of Americans have been brought up to believe that a good breakfast is one of life' s essentials. Eating breakfast at the start of the day, we have all been told, is as necessary as putting gasoline in the family car before starting a trip.But for many people the thought of foods the first thing in the morning is by no means a pleasure. So despite on the efforts, they still take no breakfast. Between 1997 and 1983 , the latest years for which figures are available, the number of people who didn' t have breakfast increased by 33 percent—from 8. 8 million to 11.7 million—according to the Chicago—based Market Research Corporation of America.For those who feel pain or guilt about not eating breakfast, however, there is some good news. Several studies in the last few years indicate that, for adults especially, there may be nothing wrong with omitting breakfast. "Going without breakfast does not affectperformance, " Said Arnold E. Bender , the former professor of nutrition at Queen Elizabeth College in London, " nor does giving people breakfast improve performance. " Scientific evidence linking breakfast to better health or better performance is surprisingly inadequate and most of the recent work involveschildren, not adults. "The literature, " says one researcher, Dr. Ernesto Poillit at the University of Texas, " is poor. "46 The passage is mainly concerned with______.（A）a study of the Chicago—based Market Research Corporation（B）one of life' s essentials（C）latest figures of people who don't eat breakfast（D）breakfast and human health47 For those who do not take breakfast, the good news is that______.（A）several studies have been done in the past few years （B）not eating breakfast does no harm to one' s health（C）adults have especially made studies in this field（D）eating little in the morning may be good for health48 In the third paragraph "nor does giving people breakfast improve performance, "means______.（A）anyone without breakfast does improve his performance（B）not giving people breakfast improves performance（C）people having breakfast do improve their performance （D）having breakfast does not improve performance, either49 The word "literature" in the last sentence refers to______.（A）stories about breakfast（B）written works on a particular subject（C）any printed materials（D）the modern novels of America50 What is implied but NOT stated by the author is that______.（A）not eating breakfast might affect the health of children （B）breakfast does not affect performance（C）Professor Bender once taught college courses innutrition in London（D）people who don' t eat breakfast have increased50 In everyday usage "hot"means "having a lot of heat". Many people think that "cold"is something completely separated from heat. But this is not true, "cold" simply means "having very little heat. "Your life depends on heat. In fact, every living thing depends on it. Without heat, every living thing would be frozen to death. All living things get their heat from the sun, which provides the conditions in which life is possible.Since before the dawn of history, man has been able to make his own heat. He has been able to release the sun' s heat that is trapped in things such as wood, coal, and oil. And he has been able to use this heat.Heat has made civilization possible. With heat, man could melt metals. As man learned to use metals and fuels, industries grew. As a result, engines were invented. These aremachines that change heat energy into mechanical energy.

For each of them there are four ishen statements. For each of them there are four choices marked a,b,c,and d.Choose the ONE correct answer with a“”Passage 1Australia'spoprlation passed 18 million for the first time in March this year.But as Australia grows, environment groups yesterday urged the govern-ment to develop a national population policy to avoid severe environmental degradation(恶化).Australian Bureau of Statistics(ABS)reserarch shows the birth or arrival of 68,700 new Australians in the year to March pushed the population to 18,000,500.Victoria's population increased by 23,000 to 4.5 million by 2006 and 24 million by 2033.Australia reached its first million in 1858.While immigration was responsible for a large part of the population booms in the past, over the last five years new born made up 68 per rent of the 1 million increase in population.Australia has one of the lower population growth rates in the region,with New Zealand growing at 1.4 percent. Indonesia at 1.7 percent and PNG at 2 percent,ABS spokesman Mr.John Paice said.Australians for an Ecologically Sustainable Population；a group of 560 academics, scientists and public, yesterday urged the government to develop a sustainable population strategy to avoid further land and water degradation.National ALP president Barry Jones last year chaired a parliamentary inquiry into what population levels Australia could reach without risking serious pollution and degradation problems.Many of the opinions to the inquiry suggested a population limit of 17-23 million. The government was expected to respond to the Jones report by July, but did not.CSIRO research scientist Dr.Dong Cocks agreed the government needed to develop a population policy."With population size(in Australia)doubling every 40 to 50 years, we would need another couple of Melboumes and Sydneys by 2050,"Dr.Cocks said.Notes: ABS 澳大利亚统计局 PNG 巴布亚新几内亚ALP 澳大利亚工党CSIRO 联邦科学--工业研究组织31.As population grows, environment experts may be concerned about all the followingexcept______.a.water resourcesb.food supplyingc.housingd.radioactive pollution32.From the passage we may infer that______.a.Victoria's population growth rate was higher than the average rateb.In the year to March,the new arrivals were more than new borns in Victoriac.Five years ago, new borns were more than new arrivals in Victoriad.Victoria's population always grew faster than that of any other state.33.Australia's population growth rate is .a.higher than 2 percentb.higher than 1.4 percent but lower than 1.7 percentc.higher than 1.7 percent but lower than 2 percentd.lower than 1.4 percent34.According to the ABS' forecast, by the year of 2006 Australia is population will increase .a.20 millionb.2 millionc.4 milliond.24 million35.Which of the following statements is true? .a.Australia is planning to build another Melbourne and Sydneyb.The Australian government has paid great attention to the pubic opinion about population controlc.The Australian government has developed a successful population policyd.At present, the environmental problems in Australia are not very serious yetPassage 2Learn More in Five Days Than Some Managers Learn in Forty WeeksInterpersonal Skills for Senior ManagersPeople management skills are the most important skills a manager can develop. What differentiates the leader from a manager that the leader has acquitted not just the technical and strategic skills but has the interpersonal skills to make things happen.No doubt on your way up through the ranks, you have come across managers who------while they may be very good at other aspects of their job------are decidedly lacking in interpersonal skills. Andyou know, and they have been told, that their future will be affected greatly by this lack of human skills.This program is totally devoted to developing those managerial skills in people on their way to the top. It covers motivating, assessing, rewarding, leading and developing people. Very simple models of interpersonal relationships are used to focus attention on understanding one's own behavior, its impact on others, understanding the goals of others and integrating a group into a winning team.Professor John Hunt, Program Director, deliberately limits the number of people on this program to guarantee personal attention between tutors and participants. To match the content precisely to your needs, we ask you to do some pre-course work which includes a survey of those who work with you. This data is linked to our own large databank on how effective managers operate. We then work with you to develop your own specific goals as a manager.36.How long is the course program? .a.Five daysb.Ten weeksc.Forty weeksd.Not mentioned37.The course is intended for managers who .a.want to strengthen their leadershipb.want to improve their strategic and technical skillsck managerial skills in generalck human management skills38.Some managers will not be promoted simply because .a.they are lacking in management strategiesb.they are not good at interpersonal skillsc.they cannot improve their technical skillsthey cannot go up through the ranks39.What is not true of a leader? .a.He understands the impact of his own behaviorb.He understands the goals of other peoplec.He understands his attention on other people's behaviord.He knows how to motivate people40.According to the last paragraph, which of the following is true? .a.Tutors will make a survey of the participantsb.The participants will finish a survey as a course projectc.The number of participants is restrictedd.Effective managers will present lectures for participantsPassage 3Very high waves are destructive when they strike the land. Fortunately, this seldom happens. One reason is that out at sea, waves moving in one direction almost always run into waves moving in a different direction. The two sets of waves tend to cancel each other out. Another reason is that water is shallower near the shore. As a wave gets closer to land, the shallow bottom helps reduce its strength.But the power of waves striking the shore can still be very great. During a winter gale, waves sometimes strike the shore with the force of 6,000 pounds for each square foot. That means a wave,25 feet high and 500 feet long it face, may strike the shore with a force of 75 million pounds.Yet the waves, no matter how big or how violent,affect only the surface of the sea. During the most raging storms, the water a hundred fathoms(600 feet) beneath the surface is just as calm as a day without a breath of wind.41.According to the passage ,destruction caused by high waves occurs .a.regularlyb.rarelyc.always c.predictably42.We know from this passage that our at sea. when waves going in opposite directions meet. Their forcea.causes great damageb.is liable to lessenc.extends to the ocean floord.increase rapidly43.It's clear from the passage that coastal deptha.is the only factor influencing the strength of high wavesb.influences the power of high wavesc.has no influence upon the strength of very high wavesd.is irrelevant to the question of the power of high waves44.From the second paragraph of the passage we know that the power of very high waves striking the shore is .a.constantb.equalizedc.variabled.perpetual45.From your reading of the passage, which of the following is true?a.At a depth of 1200 feet the effects of a violent surface storm are frightfulb.A submarine commander navigating his vessel at a depth of 700 feet will not be affected by a raging surface stormc.A typhoon 500 miles out at sea can stir up the ocean floord.If high waves can strike the shore with a horizontal force of 75 million pounds, the vertical force of such waves can have an even greater effect upon the floorPassage 4Generations of Americans have been brought up to believe that a good breakfast is one of life's essentials. Eating breakfast at the start of the day, we have all been told, is as necessary as putting gasoline in the family car before starting a trip.But for many people the thought of food first thing in the morning is by no means a pleasure. So despiteon the efforts, they still take no breakfast. Between 1997 and 1983,the latest years for which figures and available, the number of people who didn't have breakfast increased by 33 percent---from 8.8 million to 11.7 million----according to the Chicago-based Market Research Corporation of America.For those who feel pain or guilt about not eating breakfast however, there is some good news. Several studies in the last few years indicate that, for adults especially, there may be nothing wrongwith omitting breakfast. "Gong without breakfast does not affect performance." Said ArnoldE.Bender, former professor of nutrition at Queen Elizabeth College in London." nor does giving people breakfast improve performance."Scientific evidence linking breakfast to better health or better performance is surprisingly inadequate, and mst of the recent work involves children, not adults. "The literature," says one researcher, Dr.Ernesto Poillit at the University of Texas," is poor."46.The passage is mainly concerned with _______a.a study of the Chicago-based Market Research Corporationb.one of life's essentialsc.atest figures of people who don't eat breakfastd.breakfast and human health47.For those who do not take breakfast, the good news is that ______a.several studies have been done in the past few yearsb.not eating breakfast does no harm to one's healthc.adults have especially made studies in this fieldd.eating little in the morning may be good for health48.In the third paragraph "nor does giving people breakfast improve performance." means _______a.anyone without breakfast does improve his performanceb.not giving people breakfast improves performancec.people having breakfast do improve their performanced.having breakfast does not improve performance, either49.The word "literature" in the last sentence refersto ______a.stories about breakfastb.written works on a particular subjectc.any particular materialsd.the modern novels of American50.What is building but NOT stated by the health of children.a.not eating breakfast might affect performanceb.breakfast does not affect performancec.Professor Bender once taught college courses in nutrition in Londond.people who don't eat breakfast have increasedPart III.Part of Speech(20 points)Directions: Complete each of the following sentences with the proper form of the word in brackets.51.(profit）Collecting stamps can be more than a hobby.

Then give brief answers to the 5 questions below it.In everyday usage 'hot' means 'having a lot of heat.' Many people think that 'cold' is something completely separated from heat. But this is not true. 'cold' simply means 'having very little heat.' Your life depends on heat. In fact, every living thing depends on it. Without heat, every living thing would be frozen to death. All living things get their heat from the sun, which provides the conditions in which life is possible.Since before the dawn of history, man has been able to make his own heat. He has been able to release the sun's heat that is trapped in things such as wood, coal, and oil. And he has been able to use this heat.Heat has made civilization possible. With heat, man could melt metals. As man learned to use metals and fuels, industries grew. As a result, engines were invented. These are machines that change heat energy into mechanical energy. Engine can do the work of many men. Without engines industrial civilization is impossible.Yet when the first engines were built in the 17th century, men were still wondering about the nature of heat. "What is it?" they asked. Not until the early years of the 19th century did they find the right answer.61.What does "hot" mean in everyday usage?________________________________________________62."Your life depends on heat."

Then I remembered taking it out to pay for the taxi , so I knew I had with me just before I walked into the restaurant.I wondered if it was possible that it could have slipped out of my pocket while I was eating dinner.Thinking about that possibility, I turned and walked back to the table where I had been sitting. Unluckily , there were several people sitting at the table at the time,. so I called a waiter and explained to him that my wallet had fallen out of my pocket while I was sitting at the table a few minutes earlier.I had the waiter go over to the table to see if my wallet was on the floor. While the waiter was looking for it ,the manager of the restaurant came up to me and asked me if anythin g was wrong. I didn’t want a lot of people to get involved in the problem, but I knew I had to get the wallet back.I told the manager what had happened. He had me describe the wallet to him , and then be insisted that I report the missing wallet to the pol ice. I told him that I didn’t particularly want to get the police involved in it ; besides, I was in a hurry because I had an appointment with my doctor in just a few minutes.

One way is by volcanic eruption (⽕⼭爆发).The most famous example is probably the great Roman town of Pompeii in southern Italy . The town was so quickly and completely covered with volcanic ashes from Mount Vesuvius one August day in 79 A. D. that the people of the town hardly knew what was happening to them. A second way may be seen in another part of Europe ,where the surface of the land in the valleys of the Alps(阿尔卑斯⼭)sank hundreds of years ago and was covered with water and peat (泥炭). This cover preserved the wooden houses, tools and weapons of the prehistoric Alpine lake dwellers. In Egypt, drifting dry sands have preserved brittle records for thousands of years.

Victoria's population increased by 23,000 to 4.5 million by 2006 and 24 million by 2033.Australia reached its first million in 1858.While immigration was responsible for a large part of the population booms in the past, over the last five years new born made up 68 per rent of the 1 million increase in population.Australia has one of the lower population growth rates in the region,with New Zealand growing at 1.4 percent. Indonesia at 1.7 percent and PNG at 2 percent,ABS spokesman Mr.John Paice said.Australians for an Ecologically Sustainable Population；a group of 560 academics, scientists and public, yesterday urged the government to develop a sustainable population strategy to avoid further land and water degradation.National ALP president Barry Jones last year chaired a parliamentary inquiry into what population levels Australia could reach without risking serious pollution and degradation problems.Many of the opinions to the inquiry suggested a population limit of 17-23 million. The government was expected to respond to the Jones report by July, but did not.CSIRO research scientist Dr.Dong Cocks agreed the government needed to develop a population policy."With population size(in Australia)doubling every 40 to 50 years, we would need another couple of Melboumes and Sydneys by 2050,"Dr.Cocks said.Notes: ABS 澳大利亚统计局PNG 巴布亚新几内亚ALP 澳大利亚工党CSIRO 联邦科学--工业研究组织31.As population grows, environment experts may be concerned about all the followingexcept______.a.water resourcesb.food supplyingc.housingd.radioactive pollution32.From the passage we may infer that______.a.Victoria's population growth rate was higher than the average rateb.In the year to March,the new arrivals were more than new borns in Victoriac.Five years ago, new borns were more than new arrivals in Victoriad.Victoria's population always grew faster than that of any other state.33.Australia's population growth rate is .a.higher than 2 percentb.higher than 1.4 percent but lower than 1.7 percentc.higher than 1.7 percent but lower than 2 percentd.lower than 1.4 percent34.According to the ABS' forecast, by the year of 2006 Australia is population will increase.a.20 millionb.2 millionc.4 milliond.24 million35.Which of the following statements is true? .a.Australia is planning to build another Melbourne and Sydneyb.The Australian government has paid great attention to the pubic opinion about population controlc.The Australian government has developed a successful population policyd.At present, the environmental problems in Australia are not very serious yetPassage 2Learn More in Five Days Than Some Managers Learn in Forty Weeks Interpersonal Skills for Senior Managers People management skills are the most important skills a manager can develop. What differentiates the leader from a manager that the leader has acquitted not just the technical and strategic skills but has the interpersonal skills to make things happen.No doubt on your way up through the ranks, you have come across managers who------while they may be very good at other aspects of their job------are decidedly lacking in interpersonal skills. And you know, and they have been told, that their future will be affected greatly by this lack of human skills.This program is totally devoted to developing those managerial skills in people on their way to the top. It covers motivating, assessing, rewarding, leading and developing people. Very simple models of interpersonal relationships are used to focus attention on understanding one's own behavior, its impact on others, understanding the goals of others and integrating a group into a winning team.Professor John Hunt, Program Director, deliberately limits the number of people on this program to guarantee personal attention between tutors and participants. To match the content precisely to your needs, we ask you to do some pre-course work which includes a survey of those who work with you. This data is linked to our own large databank on how effective managers operate. We then work with you to develop your own specific goals as a manager.36.How long is the course program? .a.Five daysb.Ten weeksc.Forty weeksd.Not mentioned37.The course is intended for managers who .a.want to strengthen their leadershipb.want to improve their strategic and technical skillsck managerial skills in generalck human management skills38.Some managers will not be promoted simply because .a.they are lacking in management strategiesb.they are not good at interpersonal skillsc.they cannot improve their technical skillsd.they cannot go up through the ranks39.What is not true of a leader? .a.He understands the impact of his own behaviorb.He understands the goals of other peoplec.He understands his attention on other people's behaviord.He knows how to motivate people40.According to the last paragraph, which of the following is true? .a.Tutors will make a survey of the participantsb.The participants will finish a survey as a course projectc.The number of participants is restrictedd.Effective managers will present lectures for participantsPassage 3Very high waves are destructive when they strike the land. Fortunately, this seldom happens. One reason is that out at sea, waves moving in one direction almost always run into waves moving in a different direction. The two sets of waves tend to cancel each other out. Another reason is that water is shallower near the shore. As a wave gets closer to land, the shallow bottom helps reduce its strength.But the power of waves striking the shore can still be very great. During a winter gale, waves sometimes strike the shore with the force of 6,000 pounds for each square foot. That means a wave,25 feet high and 500 feet long it face, may strike the shore with a force of 75 million pounds.Yet the waves, no matter how big or how violent,affect only the surface of the sea. During the most raging storms, the water a hundred fathoms(600 feet) beneath the surface is just as calm as a day without a breath of wind.41.According to the passage ,destruction caused by high waves occurs .a.regularlyb.rarelyc.alwaysd.predictably42.We know from this passage that our at sea. when waves going in opposite directions meet. Their forcea.causes great damageb.is liable to lessenc.extends to the ocean floord.increase rapidly43.It's clear from the passage that coastal deptha.is the only factor influencing the strength of high wavesb.influences the power of high wavesc.has no influence upon the strength of very high wavesd.is irrelevant to the question of the power of high waves44.From the second paragraph of the passage we know that the power of very high waves striking theshore is .a.constantb.equalizedc.variabled.perpetual45.From your reading of the passage, which of the following is true?a.At a depth of 1200 feet the effects of a violent surface storm are frightfulb.A submarine commander navigating his vessel at a depth of 700 feet will not be affected by araging surface stormc.A typhoon 500 miles out at sea can stir up the ocean floord.If high waves can strike the shore with a horizontal force of 75 million pounds, the vertical force of such waves can have an even greater effect upon the floorPassage 4Generations of Americans have been brought up to believe that a good breakfast is one of life's essentials. Eating breakfast at the start of the day, we have all been told, is as necessary as putting gasoline in the family car before starting a trip.But for many people the thought of food first thing in the morning is by no means a pleasure. So despite on the efforts, they still take no breakfast. Between 1997 and 1983,the latest years for which figures and available, the number of people who didn't have breakfast increased by 33 percent---from 8.8 million to 11.7 million----according to the Chicago-based Market Research Corporation of America.For those who feel pain or guilt about not eating breakfast however, there is some good news.Several studies in the last few years indicate that, for adults especially, there may be nothing wrong with omitting breakfast. "Gong without breakfast does not affect performance." Said Arnold E.Bender, former professor of nutrition at Queen Elizabeth College in London." nor does giving people breakfast improve performance."Scientific evidence linking breakfast to better health or better performance is surprisingly inadequate, and mst of the recent work involves children, not adults. "The literature," says one researcher, Dr.Ernesto Poillit at the University of Texas," is poor."46.The passage is mainly concerned with _______a.a study of the Chicago-based Market Research Corporationb.one of life's essentialsc.atest figures of people who don't eat breakfastd.breakfast and human health47.For those who do not take breakfast, the good news is that ______a.several studies have been done in the past few yearsb.not eating breakfast does no harm to one's healthc.adults have especially made studies in this fieldd.eating little in the morning may be good for health48.In the third paragraph "nor does giving people breakfast improve performance." means _______a.anyone without breakfast does improve his performanceb.not giving people breakfast improves performancec.people having breakfast do improve their performanced.having breakfast does not improve performance, either49.The word "literature" in the last sentence refersto ______a.stories about breakfastb.written works on a particular subjectc.any particular materialsd.the modern novels of American50.What is building but NOT stated by the health of children.a.not eating breakfast might affect performanceb.breakfast does not affect performancec.Professor Bender once taught college courses in nutrition in Londond.people who don't eat breakfast have increasedPart III.Part of Speech(20 points)Directions: Complete each of the following sentences with the proper form of the word in brackets.51.(profit）Collecting stamps can be more than a hobby.

Then give brief answers to the 5 questions below it.In everyday usage 'hot' means 'having a lot of heat.' Many people think that 'cold' is something completely separated from heat. But this is not true. 'cold' simply means 'having very little heat.'Your life depends on heat. In fact, every living thing depends on it. Without heat, every living thing would be frozen to death. All living things get their heat from the sun, which provides the conditions in which life is possible.Since before the dawn of history, man has been able to make his own heat. He has been able to release the sun's heat that is trapped in things such as wood, coal, and oil. And he has been able to use this heat.Heat has made civilization possible. With heat, man could melt metals. As man learned to use metals and fuels, industries grew. As a result, engines were invented. These are machines that change heat energy into mechanical energy. Engine can do the work of many men. Without engines industrial civilization is impossible.Yet when the first engines were built in the 17th century, men were still wondering about the nature of heat. "What is it?" they asked. Not until the early years of the 19th century did they find the right answer.61.What does "hot" mean in everyday usage?________________________________________________62."Your life depends on heat."
