following passage:In the past,operations were difficult.Until the middle of the eighteen fifti es,surgery was very dangerous.Many patients died after even the smallest ope rations.This was because bacter ia entered the cuts in the patients’bodied and started infection.In some countries,up to90percent of patients died from inf ection afteroperations.In1865,however,Joseph Lister,a British surgeon,fou nd an answer to the problem.He used an“antiseptic”during and after operati ons.This killed the dangerous bacteria and most of his patients lived.Since th en,surgeons have used antiseptics in all operations.Surgery has developed in many important ways since the day of Joseph Lister.Today,when patients go to hospital for an operation,they can expect the best treatment,in clean and hygienic conditions.33.Operations were difficult and dangerous until_______.A.1850B.the middle of1850C.the middle of the fifties of the eighteenth centuryD.the middle of the fifties of the nineteenth century34.In the passage,surgery means__________.A.The performing of an operationB.cureC.treatmentD.medicine35.In the past,up to90percent of patients died after operations mainly b

studying for thei r M.D.s abroad.Many were rejected by U.S.medical schools simply because there was no st year,for example,some13,000of35,000would-be ph ysicians who applied to U.S.schools were accepted.Of those who were turned down,well over600are trying the foreign route.But gaining admittance to a good foreign school may be a problem.British medical schools give priority to Britons,and Canada’s world-renowned McGill University School of Medicine takes only a handful of well qualified American s annually.But several schools do welcome U.S.medical students---if they can master the local language.More than500Americans are enrolled in the Belgian universities at Brussels and Louvain,for example.So me800attend the Italian University at Bologna;175at Rome.Mexico’s Autonomous University of Guad alajara numbers1,300gringos among its4,000students.Despite difficulties abroad,many Americans complete their medical educatio ns,and manage to win the respect of their professors and classmates.One secon d-year student at Louvain has a simple explanation for those successes:“Anyon e who comes here to be motivated.You have to learn a new language,the sch ool is constant hard work,and it’s difficult to get back in to the States to practi ce”.Before they can intern or practice in the United States,graduates of foreign schools must pass a special examination required by medical-education authoriti es.The tough test is designed primarily to weed out those who are unable to s peak English or whose medical education is not up to U.S.standards.38.Which of the following

schools39.Which is following is true about foreign medical education?A.A lot of foreign medical schools do not welcome U.S.students simply because they have to consider the applicants form their own countries first.B.To enter foreign medical schools is much easier than to gain admittance into American medical schools if the problem of language is not regarded.C.There are not many good foreign medical schools according to Ameri can studentsD.There are so many difficulties in studying abroad that not many American students become successful in foreign medical schools40.Which of the following is one of the difficulties the American students at foreign,medical schools have to face.A.Living and medical conditions in foreign countries are not so good a s those in America.B.There is racial discrimination against them.C.They are given no opportunities to practice at local places.D.They are treated the same as foreign physicians and medical school graduates when trying to go back to America to practice.41.What does the word“gringos”mean?A.Americans.B.ForeignersC.Americans in MexicoD. Mexicans42.Which of the following can be the title of this passage?A.Foreign Medical Schools.B.Life at Foreign Medical School sC.The toughForeign Route. D.American Would-be Physicians at Foreign Schools.Passage3Questions31to35are based on the following passage:Summers with father were always enjoyable.Swimming,hiking,boating, fishing—the days were not long enough to contain all of our activities.There never seemed to be enough time to go to church,which disturbed some frien ds and relations.Accused of neglecting this part of our education,my father instituted a summer school for my brother and me.However,his summer cour se included ancient history,which Papa felt our schools neglected,and navigati on,in which we first had a formal examination in the dining room,part of w hich consisted of tying several knots in a given time limit.Then we were eac h separately sent on what was grandly referred to as a cruise in my father’s1 8-foot knockabout,spending the night on board,and loaded down,according to my mother,with enough food for a week.I remember that on my cruise I w as required to formally plot our course,using the tide table,even though our goal was an island I could see quite clearly across the water in the distance.43.What was the original reasons for holding the summer school?A.Friends and relatives thought the children should learn religionB The father wanted the children to learn more about religionC.The children got poor grades in their regular schoolD.The regular school teachers neglected the children44The purpose of the cruise mentioned in the passage was to________.A.have funB.test the author’s sailing abilityC.reward the author for completing summer schoolD.get to the island45.Why did the author have to plot the course of her cruise?A.She had to demonstrate her ability to do so.B.The coast was dangerous.C She was afraid of getting lost.

Different cultures are more prone to contract certain illnesses b ecause of the food that is characteristic in these cultures. That food related to illness is not a new discovery. In 1945 , government researchers realized that nitrates and nitrites, commonly used to preserve color in meats, and other food additives, caused cancer. Yet, these carcinogenic additives remain in our food, and it becomes more difficult all the time to know which things on the pack aging labels of processed food are helpful or harmful. The additives which we eat are not all so direct. Farmers often give pen icillin to beef and poultry, and because of this, penicillin has been found in th e milk of treated cows. Sometimes similar drugs are administered to animals n ot for medicinal purposes, but for financial reasons. The farmers are simply try ing to fatten the animals in order to obtain a higher price on the market. Alth ough the Food and Drug Administration (FDA has tried repeatedly to control these procedures, the practices continue. 48. What is the main topic of the passage?A. Food and our health C. Food and cancer B Food and additives D Food and culture 49 All of the following statements are true EXCEPT_______. A Forty percent of cancer is caused by problems related to food. B Researchers have known about the potential danger of food additives for many years C. We eat some of the food additives directly and some indirectly D Drugs are always given to animals for medicinal purposes 50.Why do farmers give drugs to their animals? A. to speed up the growth of animals animals fatter C to make the animals’ meat fit to eat nimals’ meat rich in nutrients 51. It can be inferred from the passage that_________. A scientist have made all the food fit to eat B only in recent year s have people found that the food is related to on e’s illness C all kinds of cancer are related to the diet D some additives are harmful to our health 52. The word “ this” in the second sentence of paragraph 2 most probably refers to __________. 11 / 14 D To make the a B To make theA farmerB penicillinC beef and poultryD the fact that farmers often give penicillin to a beef Part IV: Translation from English into Chinese (10% Directions: In this part, there are four items which you should translate into Chi nese, each item consisting of one sentence.

(阅读理解题)Many visitors finds the fast pace at which American people move very troubling. One’s first impression is likely to be that everyone is in a rush. City people always appear to be hurrying to get where they are going and are very impatient if they are delayed even for a brief moment. At first, this may seem unfriendly to you. Drivers will rush you; storekeepers will be in a hurry as they serve you; people will push past you as they walk along the street. You will miss smiles, brief conversations with people as you shop or dine away from home. Do not think that because Americans are in such a hurry they are unfriendly. Often, life is much slower outside the big cities, as is true in other countries as well. Americans who live in cities such as New York, Chicago, or Los Angeles, often think that everyone is equally in a hurry to get things done; they expect others to “push back”, just as city people do in Tokyo, Singapore or Paris, for example. But when they discover that you are a stranger, most Americans become quite kindly and will take great care to help you. Many of them first came to the city as strangers and they remember how frightening a new city can be .If you need help orwant to ask a question, choose a friendly looking person and say, “I am a stranger here. Can you help me?”Most people will stop, smile at you, and help you find you way or answer your questions. But you must let them know that you need help. Otherwise they are likely to pass you by, not noticing that you are new to the city and in need of help. Occasionally, you may find someone too busy or perhaps too rushed to give you aid. If this happens, do not be discouraged; just ask someone else. Most Americans enjoy helping a stranger.(1). (单选题) Many people who first visit the United States will find that _______.(本题2.0分)A、America is a highly developed countryB、American city people seem to be always in a rushC、the fast pace in American life often causes much troubleD、Americans are impatient and unfriendly people学生答案： B标准答案：B解析：得分： 2(2).

(阅读理解题)Many people think that when they become rich and successful, happiness will naturally follow. Let me tell you that nothing is further from the truth. The world is full of very richpeople who are as miserable as if they were living in hell. We have read stories about movie stars who committed suicide or died from drugs. Quite clearly, money is not the only answer to all problems. Wealth obtained through dishonest means does not bring happiness. Lottery winnings do not bring happiness. Gambling winnings do not bring happiness. To my mind, the secret to happiness lies in your successful work, in your contribution towards others’ happiness and in your wealth you have earned through your own honest effort. If you obtain wealth through luck or dishonest means, you will know that it is ill-earned money. If you get your money by taking advantage of others or by hurting others, you will not be happy with it. You will think you are a base person. Long-term happiness is based on honesty, productive work, contribution, and self-esteem. Happiness is not an end; it is a process. It is a continuous process of honest, productive work which makes a real contribution to others and makes you feel you are a useful, worthy person. As Dr. Wayne wrote, “There is no way to happiness. Happiness is the way.” There is no use saying “Someday when I achieve these goals, when I get a car, build a house and own my own business, then I will be really happy.” Life just does not work that way. If you wait for certain things to happen and depend on external circumstances of life tomake you happy, you will always feel unfulfilled. There will always be something missing.(1).

(单选题) What is the meaning of the word “unfulfilled”?(本题2.0分)A、uncontrolableB、impoliteC、dissatisfiedD、abnormal学生答案： C标准答案：C解析：得分： 238. (阅读理解题)The room was dark and still. Only one boy was still awake. He sat on the edge of his bed at a far corner of the room. Slowly and carefully, he made small holes across apiece of paper with a sharp stylus (铁笔) . Every two or three minutes he stopped and ran his fingers across the raised dots on the opposite side of the paper. A whisper camefrom the next bed, “Louis, are you still making dots? You’d better stop and get some rest. The teacher will be angry if you fall asleep in class. ” The reply came slowly.“I know. I’m almost finished now. Go back to sleep, Gauthier. ” Louis Braille, inventor of the Braille reading system (盲文) for the blind, put his paper and stylus on atable behind his bed. He stood up and walked across the room to an open window. He hardly noticed the cool April wind brushing his face. He knew his system would work despitewhat others thought.(1).

Parents said that children did not respect and listen to them, while children said that their parents did not understand them at all. What had gone wrong? Why had the generation gap suddenly appeared? Actually, the generation gap has been around for a long time. Many people argue that it is built into every part of our society.One important cause of the generation gap is the opportunity that young people have to choose their own ways of life. In a more traditional society, when children grow up, they are expected to live in the same area as their parents, to marry people that their parents know and like, and often to continue the family jobs. In our society, young people often travel great distances for their education, move out of the family at an early age, marry or live with people whom their parents have never met, and choose jobs different from those of their parents.In our society, parents often expect their children to do better than they did, to find better jobs, to make more money and to do all the things that they were unable to do. Often, that is another cause of the gap between them. Often, they discover that they have very little in common with each other.Finally, the speed at which changes take place in our society is the third cause of the gap between the generations. In a traditional culture, senior people are valued for their knowledge, but in our society the knowledge of a lifetime may become out of date. The young and the old seem to live in two very different worlds, separated by different skills and abilities. No doubt, the generation gap will continue in American life for some time to come.6. The first paragraph tells us that ______.A. the problem of the generation gap draws much attention from peopleB. it is out of date to talk about the generation gapC. children and parents are trying to understand each otherD. it is very important for people to frequently communicate with each other7. In a more traditional society, old people_______.A. have their children respect and listen to themB. do not care for their children at allC. expect their children to rebel against themD. do not live together with their children8. In American society young people________.A. do not need to find jobsB. leave home at an early ageC. have better education than their parentsD. marry people younger than them9. Which of the following is NOT the cause of the generation gap?A. Young people like to depend more on themselves.B. Parents do not love their children dearly.C. American society changes rapidly.D. Parents expect too much of their children.10. The main idea of the passage is ________.A. that the generation gap needs consideringB. when the generation gap is necessary in American societyC. why the generation gap existD. how we can reduce the generation gap二、交际用语(此部分共有10个未完成的对话，针对每个对话中未完成的部分有4个选项，请从A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出一个最佳选项。
