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).

大学英语（2）期末考试复习资料模拟题一、阅读：( 1 )A young man who lived in London was in love with a beautiful girl. Soon she became his fiancée （未婚妻）. The man was very poor while the girl was rich. The young man wanted to make her a present on her birthday. He wanted to buy something beautiful for her, but he had no idea how to do it, as he had very little money. The next morning he went to a shop. There were many fine things there: gold watches, diamond… but all these things were too expensive. There was one thing he could not take his eyes off. It was a beautiful vase. That was a suitable present for his fiancée. He had been looking at the vase for half an hour when the manager of the shop noticed him. The young man looked so pale, sad and unhappy that the manager asked what had happened to him.The young man told him everything. The manager felt sorry for him and decided to help him. A bright idea struck him. The manager pointed to the corner of the shop. To his great surprise the young man saw a vase broken into many pieces. The manager said: "When the servant enters the room, he will drop it."On the birthday of his fiancée the young man was very excited. Everything happened as had been planned. The servant brought in the vase, and as he entered the room, he dropped it. There was horror on everybody's face. When the box was opened, the guests saw that each piece was packed separately.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。

The subjects in his experiment were75college students.They represented all levels of ability in English:beginning,intermediate,and native-speaking students.To begin,the subjects listened to a recording of a native speaker reading a paragraph in English. Following the recording,the subjects took a15-question test to see which words they remembered, each question had four choices.The subjects had to circle the word they had heard in the recording. Some of the questions had four choices that sound alike.For example,weather,whether,wither, and wetter are four words that sound alike.Some of the questions had four choices that have the same meaning.Method,way,manner,and system would be four words with the same meaning.Finally the subjects took a language proficiency test.Henning found that students with a lower proficiency in English made more of their mistakes on words that sound alike;students with a higher proficiency made more of their mistakes on words that have the same meaning.Henning’s results suggest that beginning students hold the sound of words in their short-term memory,and advanced students hold the meaning of words in their short-term memory.6.Henning made the experiment in order to study.A.how students remember English vocabulary by short-term memoryB.how students learn English vocabularyC.how to develop students’ability in EnglishD.how long information in short-term memory is kept7.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?rmation in short-term memory is different from that in long-term memory.B.Long-term memory can be achieved only by training.C.It is easier to test short-term memory than long-term memory.D.Henning gave a separate test on vocabulary to his students.8.From Henning’s result we can see that.A.beginners have difficulty distinguishing the pronunciation of wordsB.advanced students remember words by their meaningC.it is difficult to remember words that sound alikeD.it is difficult to remember words that have the same meaning9.The word“subjects”in the passage means.A.memoryB.the theme of listening materialC.a branch of knowledge studiedD.the students experimented onPassage3Questions11to15are based on the following passage:The cowboy is the hero of many movies,.He is,even today,a symbol of courage and adventure. But what was the life of the cowboy really like?The cowboy’s job is clear from the word cowboy.Cowboy were men who took care of cows and other cattle.The cattle were in the West and in Texas.People in the cities of the East wanted beef these cattle.Trains could take the cattle east.But first the cattle had to get to the trains. Part of the cowboy’s job was to take the cattle hundreds of miles to the railroad town.The trips were called cattle drivers.A cattle drive usually took several months.Cowboys rode for sixteen hours a day.Because they rode so much,each cowboy brought along about eight horses.A cowboy changed horses several times each day.The cowboys had to make sure that cattle arrived safely.Before starting on a drive,the cowboys branded the cattle.They burned a mark on the cattle to show who they belonged to.But these marks didn’t stop rustlers,or cattle thieves.Cowboys had to protect the cattle from rustlers.Rustlers made the dangerous trip even more dangerous.Even though their work was very difficult and dangerous,cowboys did not earn much money.They were paid badly.Yet cowboys liked their way of life.They lived in a wild and open country.They lived a life of adventure and freedom.11.A cowboy is a symbol of.A.courage and adventureB.a hard life and big payC.movies in the pastD.cows and other cattle12.The cowboys’job was.A.to be a hero in real lifeB.to be a hero of the movieC.to take care of cattleD.to be a dangerous rustler13.During a cattle driver,cowboys took a group of cows from a wild and open country to.A.the West states and TexasB.the cities of the East StatesC.the people who eat beef in citiesD.the railroad towns hundred miles away14.On their way of cattle drivers,the cowboys protected the cattle by.A.burning a mark on their cowsB.keeping an eye on cattle thievesC.making the trip more dangerousD.looking after eight cows each person15.Cowboys enjoyed themselves because.A.they liked their way of lifeB.they made a lot of moneyC.they had a vary difficult jobD.they were heroes in moviesPassage4Questions16to20are based on the following passage:Successful innovations have driven many older technologies to extinction and have resulted in higher productivity,greater consumption of energy,increased demand of raw materials,accelerated flow of materials through the economy and increased quantities of metals and other substances in use each person.The history of industrial development abounds with examples.In1870,horses and mules were the prime source of power on U.S.farms.One horse or mule was required to support four human beings a ratio that remained almost constant for many decades. At that time,had a national commission been asked to forecast the population for1970,its answer probably would have depended on whether its consultants were of an economic or technological turn of mind.Had they been“economists”,they would probably have projected the1970horses or mule population to be more than50million.Had they been“technologists”,they would have recognized that the power of steam had already been harnessed to industry and to learn and ocean transport. They would have recognized further that it would be the prime source of power on the farm.Itwould have been difficult for them to avoid the conclusion that the horse and mule population would decline rapidly.16.According to the passage,what supplied most of the power on U.S.farms in1870?A.AnimalsB.HumansC.EnginesD.Water17.Which of the following is NOT mentioned by the author as a consequence of new technological developments?A.Older technologies die away.B.The quality of life is Improved.C.Overall productivity increase.D.More raw materials become necessary.18.It can be inferred from the passage that by1870.A.technology began to be more economicalB.the steam engine had been inventedC.the U.S.horse population was about10millionD.a national commission was about10million19.In the second paragraph,the author suggests that“economists”would.A.plan the economy through yearly forecastsB.fail to consider the influence of technological innovationC.value the economic contribution of farm animalsD.consult the national commission on the economy20.What is the author’s attitude toward changes brought on by technological innovations?A.He is excited about them.B.He accept them as natural.C.He is disturbed by them.D.He questions their usefulness.Questions16to20are based on the following passage:This semester I began to have a series of teacher nightmares,something that had not happened to me for years,not since my first year of teaching when I was in a perpetual state of dread.I would be rushing to get to class on time,trying to gather up notes from a maelstrom of papers on my desk,not certain what subject we were covering today,indeed not even certain what course I was teaching.My heart was pounding.I was late.I would not find my notes.A hundred people were waiting for me in the classroom,their pens poised to take down my every syllable,and I had nothing to say.Them Mr.Winthrop’s big blonde face with those dark eyes would loom at the door of my office,and with that mocking grin,he would say,“Professor,the class is waiting for you,”and I would faint dead onto the floor.Or sometimes in my dream I would make it to the podium(讲台),start to lecture on some aspect of criminal law or causation,only to have Mr.Winthrop raise his hand,and without even waiting to be called upon,presumably ask a question. Presumably because I could not make out his words.I could see his mouth moving underneath his baseball cap,and muffled sounds resounded in my ears,but I could not understand him.All eyes in the classroom were on me,and my students began to laugh,but not Mr.Winthrop.He continued to move his mouth,and I felt as if I was watching TV with the sound off except that my head was all a buzz with the laughter and the shuffling of feet as my students exited in disgust.Again, I ended the nightmare by fainting dead away onto the floor,and then I would wake up,my sheets damp from desperation.It was enough to make a man get out of bed and mix a drink at four in the morning even if he had the eight o’clock class.16.From this passage,it is indicated that.A.the first year of teaching is unforgettable and frightening for me foreverB.nightmares have happened to me more often than not since my first year of teachingC.in my first year of teaching,I was always full of fearsD.as a

Now, employment offices are gradually being replaced by computers. You type in your resume and job requirements, and the computer finds a job that matches your qualifications.Computers have made it easier to find a job. You can search for jobs in your area or in other parts of the country. You can also search for jobs by type of work or by salary. You can even search for jobs that are available right now.Computers help employers, too. Employers can post job openings and search through resumes to find the best candidates. They can also use computers to screen applicants and reduce the number of interviews they need to conduct.However, there are some disadvantages tousing computers to find a job. For one, it canbe impersonal. You may not get to meet theemployer or the people you will be working with before you start the job. Also, computers can't always accurately match job seekers with job openings. There may be a job that suits you perfectly, but the computer doesn't find it.Computers have changed the way we find jobs, but they haven't replaced the personal touch. Many people still prefer to meet with employers and interview in person.31. What is the usual way to find a job in the past?A. To go to the employment office.B. To fill out a form.C. To wait.D.

The smiles soon faded from their faces, however, when Lyon reported that the earth indicator compass—the most valuable navigational instrument on board—was out of action. They would have to rely on their magnetic steering compasses. Nevertheless, as they settled down to their nocturnal watch, flying at 4,000 feet in perfect weather, they felt happy about the relatively simple journey that lay ahead—but it was a happiness that was all too short-lived.The moon disappeared and the atmosphere gradually grew colder. Strong gusts of wind which rocked the plane were followed by the drumming of torrential rain. Pitching and tossing as they flew on blindly, they circled, climbed and plunged in an attempt to dodge the squalls. Navigation was out of the question. Kingsford Smith, fighting the controls, had but one thought—to keep the Southern Cross airborne. From early evening till the small hours, they were simple fighting to survive, their limbs stiffening, their hands too numb to write. There was no entry in the log from 6.15 p.m to 3.20 a.m.Soon after dawn , they managed to escape from that terrible electric storm and at 7 a.m., Warner picked up a radio beam from Brisbane. With this they altered course, comforted by flying into warmer air. At last they sighted the Australian coast, more than a hundred miles south of their course.36. Which is the destination of the flight?A) Australian coast B) Kingsford-SmithC) Southern Cross D) Brisbane37. What does the passage tell us?A) The story of the great flight.B) The struggle between man and nature.C) The adventures of the great flight.D) The experiences before a perfect landing.38. What kind of conclusion can we draw from the last paragraph but one?A) Pilots are supposed to keep written records of a journey during the flight.B) Pilots should be mentally prepared for all kinds of situations appearing.C) Pilots should listen to the weather report before take-off.D) pilots should wear special overalls so as to keep themselves warm enough.39. “It was a happiness that was all too short –lived.” Why ? Because .A) magnetic steering compasses were out of actionB) the weather did not promiseC) the journey did not turn out as they had expectedD) they met with unfavorable weather condition40 Which disaster comes first during the course of the flight?A) Strong gusts of wind. B) Terrible electric storm.C) Cold atmosphere. D) The earth indicator compass was out of action.Question 41 to 45 are based on the following passage:Is staring at a big, white wall during class making you feel dull? If you have ever walked past math teacher Mr. Kelley's room, you may have noticed how cheerful it is throughout the year. One thing that makes his classroom so much fun is the celebrity (名人) pictures on his front wall.Kelley's students have been writing to celebrities from across the nation asking for a photo and a few words of advice. "It really takes a lot of time and money," Kelley said. First, Kelley and his students make a list of all the celebrities to whom they want to write. Once a student picks a star, Kelley looks them up in his book of addresses to see if he can write to that person.Writing to the stars takes a lot of time because he has to personalize each letter, print them out, and address them. In the letter, Kelley asks the celebrity to send his classes a picture with some advice he or she would give to today's youth.Kelley takes up a collection in all of his classes and asks each student to contribute (捐) dollar to pay for the postage. Once Kelley mails off all the letters, the fun really begins. So far he has gotten back about 20 letters and pictures. "The only thing that isn't cool is when the celebrity sends the picture back with no advice on it, which is my entire purpose in doing this," said Kelley. When he gets at least three pictures returned, he lets his classes guess who the three stars are. He keeps score of how many celebrities each class has guessed. Jason Bryant, a student, said, "It's become a contest(竞赛) between the classes to see who can guess the most stars, and it's really fun."41. Who pays to send out letters?A）Kelley himself B）Kelley's studentsC）The contest organizer D）Jason Bryant42. What is the text about?A）Celebrities sending photos to KelleyB）Celebrities giving advice to studentsC）Kelley and his classes writing to celebritiesD）Kelley inviting celebrities to his classes43. According to Jason Bryant, they find a lot of fun inA）studying math B）reading repliesC）the name-guessing game D）receiving pictures from celebrities44. What is Kelley's main purpose of writing the letters?A）To educate his students B）To have pictures for his office wallC）To improve his students' letter writing skillsD）To help his students know more about the celebrities45. The phrase "to personalize each letter" (Line 1, Para.3 ) means"______".A）to print out each otherB）to personally send out each otherC）to find the address of each celebrityD）to make the letter suitable for a particular starPart ⅢCloseDirections: There are 20 blanks in the following passage.

In my second year the professor who taught the course passed away and I was asked to take over. Then for many years I taught classes for judges, law students, and practicing lawyers throughout the country. After graduation, I got a job as an assistant city attorney. Then I became one of Denver’s youngest judges at the age of 28. Finally, I did return to Boulder---- to receive the University of Colorado’s George Norlin Award.Sooner or later everyone will fall short at something important to them. But failure also taught me that life is a road with unexpected tomorrows. To take advantage of them, you cannot let yourself be destroyed by failure.。

Pruning involves the cutting away of overgrown and unwanted branches, and the inexperienced gardener can be encouraged bythe thought that more damage results from doing it unnecessarily than from leaving the tr ee to grow in its own way.First, pruning may be done to make sure that trees have a desired shape or size.The obj ect may be to get a tree of the right height, and at the same time to help the growth of sm all side branches, which will thicken its appearance or give it a special shape. Secondly, pru ning may be done to make the tree healthier. You may cut out diseased or dead wood, or b ranches that are rubbing against each other and thus causing wounds. The health of a tree may be encouraged by removing branches that are blocking up the center and so preventi ng the free movement of air.One result of pruning is that an open wound is left on the tree and this provides an easy entry for disease, but it is a wound that will heal. Often there is a race between the healin g and the disease as to whether the tree will live or die, so that there is a period when the tree is at risk. It should be the aim of every gardener to reduce that risk of death as far as possible. It is essential to make the area, which has been pruned, smooth and clean, for h ealing will be slowed down by roughness. You should allow the cut surface to dry for a few hours and then paint it with one of the substances available from garden shops produced e specially for this purpose. Pruning is usually done in winter, for then you can see the shape of the tree clearly without interference from the leaves and it is, too, very unlikely that the cuts you make will bleed. If this does happen, it is, of course, impossible to paint them pr operly.1. Pruning may be done to ______.A. make the tree grow tallerB. improve the shape of the treeC. get rid of the small branchesD. make the small branches thicker2. Trees become unhealthy if a gardener _____.A. allows too many branches to grow in the middleB. does not protect them from the windC. forces them to grow too quicklyD. damages some of the small side branches3. A special substance is painted on the tree ______.A. to make a wound smoothB. to prevent disease entering a woundC. to cover a rough surfaceD. to help a wound to dry4. A good gardener prunes a tree ______.A. at intervals throughout the yearB. as quickly as possibleC. occasionally when necessaryD. regularly every winter5. What was the writer's purpose when writing this passage?A. To give practical instructions for pruning a tree.B. To give a general description of pruning.C. To explain how trees develop diseases.D. To discuss different methods of pruning.答案：BABCB(2)、 In every society it is necessary to have a general system of laws to ensure justice. Laws are designed to make certain that people's rights are protected and that people resp ect each other's rights. Sometimes, however, laws are passed which are specific to a time or situation. For example, a town in Indiana once passed a law making it illegal to shoot op en a can of food. Apparently, some gun-carrying citizens forgot their can openers and natu rally enough, used their guns to do the job. This disturbed other citizens, and endangered t heir lives, so a law was passed to prevent it.Specific laws sometimes remain in existence long after the problem has disappeared. Th e laws then seem strange. For example, the Indiana law was no longer necessary when citi zens stopped carrying guns and using them as can openers. Since the law was no longer n eeded, what once made sense now seems like nonsense.Sometimes laws designed to serve a good purpose were passed but somehow these bec ame mixed up in their wording. As a result, the laws don't make sense. In one state there i s a law which says that it is "illegal to move or to attempt to move a motor vehicle." Obvio usly, a massive traffic jam would occur if everyone suddenly obeyed that law. But no one d oes, of course, because the intention of the law was not to prevent owners from moving th eir own cars. It was to prevent people from moving (stealing) other people's cars.It is often harder to repeal (废止)a law than to pass one, so many of these old laws remain in existence. Because they no longer fit the way people live or because the problem no longer exists, these laws are igno red. Everyone understands that and life goes on. Thus, laws that once made very good sen se now seem like nonsense.1. According to the passage, laws are designed for the purpose of ____________.A. protecting people's rightsB. making people respect each otherC. preventing gun-carryingD. punishing criminals2. The word "job " in paragraph 1 refers to ___________.A. workingB. shootingC. preventing gun-carryingD. disturbing others3. The author used the Indiana law as an example to explain _________.A. how some laws are passed and changedB. how people in Indiana open cansC. why some laws may seem strangeD. why people in Indiana no longer use their guns4.

We can conclude from the passage that ___________.A. a law system is necessary for every societyB. some laws that don't make sense may also get passedC. it is more difficult to change the old law than pass a new oneD. some laws may seem strange as time passes答案：ACCBD(3)、 Trees should only be pruned when there is a good and clear reason for doing so a nd, fortunately, the number of such reasons is small. Pruning involves the cutting away of overgrown and unwanted branches, and the inexperienced gardener can be encouraged by the thought that more damage results from doing it unnecessarily than from leaving the tr ee to grow in its own way.First, pruning may be done to make sure that trees have a desired shape or size.The obj ect may be to get a tree of the right height, and at the same time to help the growth of sm all side branches, which will thicken its appearance or give it a special shape. Secondly, pru ning may be done to make the tree healthier. You may cut out diseased or dead wood, or b ranches that are rubbing against each other and thus causing wounds. The health of a tree may be encouraged by removing branches that are blocking up the center and so preventi ng the free movement of air.One result of pruning is that an open wound is left on the tree and this provides an easy entry for disease, but it is a wound that will heal. Often there is a race between the healin g and the disease as to whether the tree will live or die, so that there is a period when the tree is at risk. It should be the aim of every gardener to reduce that risk of death as far as possible. It is essential to make the area, which has been pruned, smooth and clean, for h ealing will be slowed down by roughness. You should allow the cut surface to dry for a few hours and then paint it with one of the substances available from garden shops produced e specially for this purpose. Pruning is usually done in winter, for then you can see the shape of the tree clearly without interference from the leaves and it is, too, very unlikely that the cuts you make will bleed. If this does happen, it is, of course, impossible to paint them pr operly.1. Pruning may be done to ______.A. make the tree grow tallerB. improve the shape of the treeC. get rid of the small branchesD. make the small branches thicker2. Trees become unhealthy if a gardener _____.A. allows too many branches to grow in the middleB. does not protect them from the windC. forces them to grow too quicklyD. damages some of the small side branches3.

The young girl took the cheese and ________ to eat.A. commencedB. continuedC. commandedD. communicatedPart II. 30 %Directions: Read the following passages and answer the questionsPassage OneHow men first learned to invent words is unknown; in other words, the origin of language is a mystery. All we really know is that men, unlike animals, somehow invented certain sounds to express thoughts and feelings, so that they could communicate with each other; and that later theyagreed upon certain signs, called letters, which could be combined to represent those sounds and which could be written down. Those sounds, whether spoken or written in letters, we call words.The power of words, then, lies in their associations (联想) —the things they bring up before our minds. Words become filled with meanings for us by experience; and the longer we live, the more certain words recall to us the glad and sad events of our past; and the more we read and learn, the more the number of words that mean something to us increases.Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which appeal powerfully to our minds and emotions. This charming and telling use of wordsis what we call literary style. Above all, the real poet is a master of words. He can convey his meaning in words which sing like music, and which by their position and association can move men to tears. We should, therefore, learn to choose our words carefully and use them accurately, or they will make our speech silly andvulgar (庸俗地).31. The origin of language is ______.A. a legend handed down from the pastB. a matter that is hidden or secretC. a question difficult to answerD. a problem not yet solved32. Which of the following is NOT true?A. Powerful words are closely associated.B. Words in proper combination bring up meaning before our minds.C. Words mean little to those without experience.D. Certain words mean more to us when we grow older.33. The more we read and learn, ______.A. the more meanings the words carryB. the more meaningful words we haveC. the more we want to learn wordsD. the more clever we become34. Which of the following statements about the real poet is NOT true?A. He is no more than a master of words.B. He can convey his ideas in words which sing like music.C. His literary style is always charming.D. His poems can move men to tears.35. “Literary style” refers to ______.A. how great thoughts are generatedB. how writers use words to appeal to our mind and feelingsC. how charming great writers areD. how writers tell us the different uses of wordsPassage TwoFriends play an important part in our lives and although we may take the friendship forgranted，we often don’t clearly understand how we make friends. Although we get on well with many people，we are usually friends with only a very few—for example，the average number of friends among students is about 6per person. In all the cases of friendly relationships，two people like one another and enjoy being together but beyond that，the degree of intimacy (亲密) between them and the reasons for their shared interest vary greatly. As we get to know people，we take into consideration things like age，race，economic condition，social position，and intelligence. Although these factors are not of first importance，it is more difficult to get on with people when there is an obvious difference in age and background.Some friendly relationships can be kept on argument and discussion，but it is usual for close friends to have similar ideas and beliefs，to have attitudes and interests in common—theyoften talk about “being on the same wavelength”. It generally takes time to reach this point. And the more intimately involved people become，the more they rely on one another. People want to help friends and hate to break a promise. Equally，friends have to learn to put up with annoying habits and to accept differences of opinion.In contrast with marriage，there are no friendship ceremonies (仪式) to strengthen the relationship between two people. But the supporting and understanding of each other that results from shared experiences and emotions does seem to create a powerful tie，which can overcome differences in background，and break down barriers of age，class or race.36. According to the author______.A. all those who get on well with each other are friendsB friends are closer than people who just get on well with each otherC. everyone understands clearly how to make friendsD. every student has six friends37. When we make friends，we consider such things as age，race，and background，because______.A. it is not easy to have a friendly relationship with people when there is a great difference inage，background，etc.B. the degree of friendship between two people and the reason for their shared interest canvary widelyC. friends need to know all these thingsD. these are the most important factors to make friends38. In Paragraph 2, “being on the same wavelength” means ______.A. using the same frequency while talkingB. keeping the same friendly relationship as other people doC. having similar ideas, beliefs, attitudes and interestsD. having the same background39. Which of the following is false according to the passage ?A. Even friends may have differences of opinions.B. Friends never argue with each other.C. It generally takes time for people to become close friends.D. Someone’s habits may annoy his friends.40. To strengthen friendly relationship, people______.A. must hold friendship ceremoniesB. have to remove differences in backgroundC. should make friends with those who are of the same age and of the same raceD. should support and understand each other through shared experiences and emotionsPassage ThreeYou are watching a film in which two men are having a fight. They hit one another hard. At the start they merely fight with their fists. But soon they begin hitting one another over the heads with chairs. And so it goes on until one of the men crashes through a window and falls thirty feet to the ground below. He is dead!Of course he isn’t really dead. With any luck he isn’t even hurt. Why? Because the men who fall out of high windows or jump from fast-moving trains, who crash cars or even catch fire, are professional. They do this for a living. These men are called “stuntmen”（特技演员）. That is to say, they perform “tricks”There are two sides to their work. They actually do most of the things you see on the screen. For example, they fall from a high building. However, they do not fall on to hard ground but on to empty cardboard boxes covered with a mattress. Again, when they hit one another with chairs, the “chairs” are made of soft wood and when they crash through windows, the “glass” is made of sugar!But although their work depends on tricks of this sort, it also requires a high degree of skill and training. Often a stuntman’s success depends on precise timing. For example, when he is “blown up” in a battle scene, he has to j ump out of the way of the explosion just at the right moment.Naturally stuntmen are well paid for their work, but they lead dangerous lives. They often get seriously injured—and sometimes killed. A Norwegian stuntman, for example, skied over the edge of a precipice (悬崖峭壁) a thousand feet high. His parachute (降落伞)failed to open—and he was killed.41. According to the passage, stuntmen are people who ______.A. are skilled in sports such as skiing and skatingB. often do things which are really dangerousC. are good at pretending to die on the spotD. only pretend to do dangerous things42. Stuntmen do this kind of work in order to ______.A. earn moneyB. enjoy themselvesC. have good luckD. fool the audience43. When they jump from a high building, stuntmen ______.A. have parachutesB. are covered with a mattressC. fall on something softD. stand on hard ground44. In order to do their job well stuntmen have to be especially ______.A. strongB. punctualC. accurateD. intelligent45. The Norwegian stuntman got killed because ______.A.he forgot to open his parachuteB. of an unexpected accidentC. of inadequate trainingD. he did not ski well on the mountain edgePart III.
