All we really known is that men, unlike animals, somehow invented certain sounds to express thought and feelings, actions, and things, so that they could communicate with each other; and that later they agreed 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 - the things they bring up before our minds. Words become filled with meaning 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 words is 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 and vulgar . (239words)26. The origin of language is _______D__________A. a legend handed down from the pastB. a matter that is hidden or secret.C. a question difficult to answer.D. a problem not yet solved.27. What is true about words? ______C__________A. They are used t to express feelings only.B. They can not be written downC. They are simply sounds.D. They are mysterious.28. The real power of words lies in their ___D________.A. propertiesB. characteristicsC. peculiarityD. representative function29. By “association”, the author means ______B_______.A. a special qualityB. a joining of ideas in the mind.C. an appearance which is puzzling.D. a strange feature.30. Which of the following statements about the real poet is NOT true? ___A_______A. He is no more than a master of words.B. He can convey his ideas in words which sing like music.C. He can move men to tears.D. His style is always charming.Passage 2Long, long ago there was a very foolish thief. Do you know what he did one day? When he wanted to steal the bell on his neighbor's door, he walked up to the door, took hold of the bell and pulled hard. The bell made a very loud noise. The thief was afraid and went home.Then he sat down to think, "I must do something about the noise," he said. He thought and thought. At last he had an idea. "Ah, I'll put some cotton in my ears. Then I won't be able to hear the noise." The next day he went to the door of his neighbor, and took hold of the bell. This time he pulled even harder. The bell rang loudly, but the thief did not hear anything. With another hard pull he got the bell out. Just then the neighbor came running out."Steal my bell? I'll teach you a lesson," the angry man shouted. And he hit the thief on the nose.The foolish thief did not know how the neighbor found out he was stealing the bell.

FPassage 3It has been reported that in colleges across the United States, the daytime serial drama known as the soap opera has suddenly become "in". Between the hours of 11 a.m. and 4:30 p.m, college television lounges are filled with soap opera fans who can't wait to see the next episode in the lives of their favorite characters.Actually, soaps are more than a college favorite; they're a youth favorite. When school is out, high-school students are in front of their TV sets. One young working woman admitted that she turned down a higher paying job rather than give up watching her favorite serials. During the 1960's, it was uncommon for young people to watch soap operas. The mood of the sixties was very different from now. It was a time of seriousness, and talk was about social issues of great importance.Now, seriousness has been replaced by fun. Young people want to be happy. It may seem strange that they should turn to soap opera, which is known for showing trouble in people's lives. But soap opera is enjoyment. Young people can identify with the soap opera character, who, like the college-age viewer, is looking for happy love, and probably not finding it. And soap opera gives young people a chance to feel close to people without having to bear any responsibility for their problems.36. What is soap opera? ___C_____A. Plays based on science fiction stories.B. Plays based on non-fiction stories.C. The daytime serial dramas on TV.D. Popular documentary films on TV.37.

Which is not the reason why the soap opera suddenly becomes "in" according to the passage? _____D___A. Because the viewers want to be happy and to enjoy themselves.B. Because the soap opera makes young people feel close to their people.C. Because the viewers can find themselves in the soap opera characters.D. Because the young people have to bear the responsibilities for their troubles.39. What can we learn from the passage? ___C_____A. College students like soap operas more than any other social groups.B. Young people of sixties liked soap operas more than people today.C. Young viewers have turned themselves from the seriousness of sixties to enjoyment now.D. The young as a whole are trying to look for happy love but in vain.40.

But one thing still puzzles old Harold. How is it that he can leave Betty and her friend Joan sitting on the sofa, talking, go out to a ballgame, come back three and a half hours later, and they ’ re still sitting on the sofa, talkingWhat in the world, Harold wonders, do they have to talk aboutBetty shrugs. Talk We ’ re friends.Researching this matter called friendship, psychologist Lillian Rubin spent two years interviewing more than two hundred women and men. No matter what their age, their job, their sex, the results were completely clear. Womenhave more friendships than men, and the difference in the content and the quality of those friendships is “ marked and unmistakable ”.More than two-thirds of the single men Rubin interviewed could not name a best friend. Those who could were likely to name a woman. Yet three-quarters of the single women had no problem naming a best friend, and almost always it was a woman. More married menthan womennamedtheir wife/husband as a best friend, most trusted person, or the one they would turn to in time of emotional distress （情感危机）. “Most women”, says Rubin, “ identified at least one, usually more, trusted friends towhomthey could turn in a troubled moment, and they spoke openly about the importance of these relationships in their lives ”.“ In general, ” writes Rubin in her new book, “wome’n s friendships with each other rest on shared emotions and support, but men ’s relationships are marked byshared activities. ” For the most part, Rubin says , interactions （交往） betweenmen are emotionally controlled —a good fit with the social requirements of behavior .“Even when a man is said to be a best friend, " Rubin writes,“the two sharelittle about their innermost feelings. Whereas a woman ' s closest female friendmight be the first to tell her to leave a failing marriage, it wasn ' t unusual tohear a man say he didn ' t know his friend ' s marriage was in serious trouble until he appeared one night asking if he could sleep on the sofa.”6.

Anyone who hasthought about this fact seriously must have wondered how it has comeabout that man has achieved a position so supreme （最高的）among the myriad（无数的）kinds of animallife. Two characteristics of man, in comparison with all other animals, that stand out above all others are the creation and use of tools and the development and use of language. Since no other animals have achieved these abilities, it must be assumed that man ' s evolutionary development led to his capacity to create and use tools and to devise and use language.Once these abilities and practices evolved, they probably became driving forces in the further evolution of man. Those members of the species who become most proficient（精通的）in the fabrication of tools and in the command of language and thought would tend to survive and maintain their kind for good, at the expense of those of lesser ability.11.Which of the following statements best expresses the main idea of the passage AA.Tools and language are either the effects or the causes of human evolution.B.No other animals have achieved human abilities.C.Among the animals, only man is able to use tools and language.D.Man owns his capacity to making use of tools and language.12.“Animal kingdom " in the passage refers to CA.the place where all animals liveB.the animal societyC.all kinds of animals, including manD.the forest with animals13.One important condition for man ' s evolution is D .A.the animal kingdomB. a supreme positionC.the myriad kindsD.his natural capacity14.The phrase “ come about " in the passage is likely to mean __C.A.happenedB.appearedC.arrivedD.succeeded15.The last sentence suggests that D .A.those of lesser ability would be very expensiveB.in order to survive, man has to sacrifice some other animalsC.those who become proficient in making tools can speak wellnguage and thought could be acquired by man第三部分：词汇与结构（共5小题；每小题3分，？茜分15分）16.An American inspection team had looked D sites in January.A. afterB. overC. onD. into17.The cinema is about two miles from the downtown area and there are many shopping centersB. far apartA. in betweenC. among themD.from each other18.He drove so fast, as the car came round the corner, it ran C an old woman coming from the opposite side.A. intoB. onC. overD. up19.Generally speaking, a successful salesman has to talk to several D regularly, in order to sell the products.A. lawyersB. supportersC. guestsD. clients20.How much is the train C from Shanghai to BeijingA. feeB. tipC. fareD. cost第四部分：完形填空（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）Whenl was about twelve, I suddenly developed a great passion for writing poetry.

Although this kind of loneliness can cause physical problems, such as headaches and sleeplessness, it usually doe not last for more than a year.The third kind of loneliness is the most severe. Chronic (长期的) loneliness lasts more than two years and has no specific cause. People who experience habitual loneliness have problemssocializing and becoming close to others. Unfortunately, many chronically lonely people think there’s little they can do to improve their condition.Psychologists are trying to find ways to help habitually lonely people for two reasons: they are unhappy and unable to socialize and there is a connection between chronic loneliness and serious illness such as heart disease.

They are men and women recogniz ed for shaping our nation’s consciousness and development as well as the lives of those who admire them. Yet, some people say that ours is an age where true heroes and heroines are hard to come by, where the very idea of heroism is something beyond us – an artifact of the past. Some maintain, that because the Cold War is over and because America is at peace, our age is essentially an unheroic one. Furthermore, the overall crime rate is down, poverty has been eased by a strong and growing economy, and advances continue to be made in medical science.Cultural icons are hard to define, but we know them when we see them. They are people who manage to go beyond celebrity（明星）, who are legendary, who somehow manage to become mythic. But what makes some figures ico ns and others mere celebrities? That’s hard to answer. In part, their lives have the quality of a story to tell. For instance, the beautiful young Diana Spencer who at 19 married a prince, renounced marriage and the throne, and died at the moment she found true love. Good looks certainly help. So does a special indefinable charm, with the help of the media. But nothing confirms an icon more than a tragic death –such as Martin Luther King, Jr., John F. Kennedy, and Princess Diana. （263 words）31. The passage mainly deals with _______.(C )A. life and deathB. heroes and heroinesC. heroes and iconsD. icons and celebrities32. Heroes and heroines are usually _______. (D )A. courageousB. good example to followC. self-sacrificingD. all of the above33. Which of the following statements is wrong?(D )A. Poverty in America has been eased with the economic growth.B. Superstars are famous for being famous.C. One’s look can contribute to being famous.D. Heroes and heroines can only emerge in war times.34. Beautiful young Diana Spencer found her genuine love _______. (C )A. when she was 19B. when she became a princessC. just before her deathD. after she gave birth to a prince35. What is more likely to set an icon’s status?(B )A. Good looks.B. Tragic and early death.C. Personal attraction.D. The quality of one’s story.Passage 2 害羞（腼腆）是很多人不愉快的一个原因Shyness is the cause of much unhappiness for a great many people. Shy people are anxious and self-conscious; that is, they are excessively concerned with their own appearance and actions. Worrisome thoughts are constantly occurring in their minds: what kind of impression am I making? Do they like me? Do I sound stupid? Am I wearing unattractive clothes?It is obvious that such uncomfortable feelings must negatively affect people. A person’s conception of himself or herself is reflected in the way he or she behaves, and they way a person behaves affects other people’s reactions. In general, th e way people think about themselves has a profound effect on all areas of their lives.Shy people, having low self-esteem, are likely to be passive and easily influenced by others. They need reassurance that they are doing ―the right thing.‖ Shy people ar e very sensitive to criticism; they feel it confirms their feelings of inferiority. They also find it difficult to be pleased by compliment with a statement like this one, ―You’re just sayi ng that to make me feel good. I know it’s not true.‖ It is clear th at while self-awareness is a healthy quality, overdoing it is harmful.Can shyness be completely eliminated, or at least reduced? Fortunately, people can overcome shyness with determined and patient efforts in building self-confidence. Since shyness goes hand in hand with a lack of self-esteems, it is important for people to accept their weakness as well as their strengths.Each one of us is a unique, worthwhile individual, interested in our own personal ways. The better we understand ourselves, the easie r it becomes to live up to our full potential. Let’s not allow shyness to block our chances for a rich and fulfilling life. （309 words）36. What does the author try to prove by citing ―what kind of impression am I making?‖(B )A. Shy people benefit from their caring about their appearance.B. People’s shyness made them care too much about their appearance and actions.C. It’s natural that shy people don’t believe other’s compliments.D. Shy people think they are different from others.37. According to the writer, self-awareness is _______.(A )A. a good qualityB. the cause of unhappinessC. harmful to peopleD. a weak point of shy people38. When being praised, shy people feel that it is _______. (B )A. goodB. unrealC. very reasonableD. harmful39. Which of the following statements is true according tothe passage? (C )A. Shyness helps us to develop our potential.B. Shyness enables us to understand ourselves better.C. Shyness can block our chances for a rich life.D. Shyness has nothing to do with lack of self-esteem.40. It can be inferred from the passage that shy people _______.(B )A. should find more of their weaknessB. should understand themselves in the right wayC. had better ignore their weaknessD. can get rid of their shyness while maintaining low self-esteemPassage ThreeWhat makes a person a scientist? Does he have ways or tools of learning that are different from those of others? The answer is ―no‖. It is not the tools a scientist uses but h ow he uses these tools that make him a scientist. You will probably agree that knowing how to use a power is important to a carpenter. You will probably agree, too, that knowing how to investigate, how to discover information, is important to everyone. The scientist, however, goes one step further, he must be sure that he has a reasonable answer to his questions and that his answer can be confirmed by other persons. He also works to fit the answer he gets to manyquestions into a large set of ideas about how the world works.The scientist’s knowledge must be exact. There is no room for half right or right just half the time. He must be as nearly right as the conditions permit. What works under one set of conditions at one time must work under the same conditions at other times. If the conditions are different, any changes the scientist observesin a demonstration must be explained by the changes in the conditions. This is one reason that investigations are important in science. Albert Einstein, who developed the theory of relativity, arrived at this theory through mathematics. The accuracy of this mathematics was later tested through investigations, Einstein’s ideas were shown to be correct. A scientist uses many tools for measurements. Then the measurements are used to make mathematical calculations that may test his investigations. （263 words）41. What makes a scientist according to the passage? (B )A. The tools he uses.B. The way he uses his tools.C. His way of learning.D. The various tools he uses.42. ―The scientist, however, goes one step further…‖. The author says this to show _______.(C )A. the importance of informationB. the importance of thinkingC. the difference between scientists and ordinary peopleD. the difference between carpenters and people with other jobs43. A sound scientific theory should be one that _______.(A )A. works not only under one set of conditions at one time, but also under the same conditions at other timesB. does not allow any changes even under different conditionsC. can be used for many purposesD. leave no room for improvement44. The author quotes the case of Albert Einstein to illustrate _______.(C )A. that measurements are keys to success in scienceB. that accuracy of mathematicsC. that the investigations are important in scienceD. that the mathematical calculations may test his investigations45. What is the main idea of the passage?(D )A. The theory of relativity.B. Exactness is the core of science.C. Scientists are different from ordinary people.D. Exactness and ways of using tools are the keys to the making of a scientist.Passage 4 美国人崇尚自我奋斗者（白手起家的人）A characteristic of American culture that has become almost a tradition is to respect the self-made man —the man who has risen to the top through his own efforts, usually beginning by working with his hands. While the leader in business or industry or the college professor occupies a higher social position and commands greater respect in the community than the common laborer or even the skilled factory worker, he may take pains to point out that his father started life in America as a farmer or laborer of some sort.This attitude toward manual（体力的）labor is now still seen many aspects of American life. One is invited to dinner at a home that is not only comfortably but even luxuriously（豪华地）furnished and in which there is every evidence of the fact the family has been able to afford foreign travel, expensive hobbies, and college education for the children; yet the hostess probably will cook the dinner herself, will serve it herself and will wash dishes afterward, furthermore the dinner will not consist merely of something quickly and easilyassembled from contents of various cans and a cake or a pie bought at the nearby bakery. On the contrary, the hostess usually takes pride in careful preparation of special dishes. A professional may talk about washing the car, digging in his flowerbeds, painting the house. His wife may even help with these things, just as he often helps her with the dishwashing. The son who is away at college may wait on table and wash dishes for his living, or during the summer he may work with a construction gang on a highway in order to pay for his education. （290 words）46. From paragraph 1, we know that in America _______.(A )A. people tend to have a high opinion of the self-made manB. people can always rise to the top through their own effortsC. college professors win great respect from common workersD. people feel painful to mention their fathers as labors47. According to the passage, the hostess cooks dinner herself mainly because _______.(B )A. servants in American are hard to getB. she takes pride in what she can do herselfC. she can hardly afford servantsD. It is easy to prepare a meal with canned food48. The expression ―wait on table‖ in the second paragraph means ―_______‖.(D )A. work in a furniture shopB. keep accounts for a barC. wait to lay the tableD. serve customers in a restaurant49. The author’s attitude towards manual（体力的）labor is _______.(A)A. positiveB. negativeC. humorousD. critical50. Which of the following may serve as the best title of the passage?(B )A.
