Please write your answers on the Answer Sheet.Entering college is like starting a new phase of life where you have to learn to support yourself. You will have to adjust to your new 1 , try to do everything by yourself and learn to stand on your own. As you 2 the ups and downs of student life, you will learn how to 3 problems that arise.College life is very 4 from that in the middle school. It’s the place where teenagers become adults and academia meets 5 . Ideally, your time at college will help you mature physically and mentally, equip you with 6 and prepare you for your professional career.It is a challenging process, and it is not realistic to 7 everything to always work in your favor. You won’t win every prize and you won’t be 8 with all your classmates all the time. Setbacks and challenges – like failure, betrayal and unjust 9 – are just as important for your growth as the good times. Only when you have 10 these things can you know what society and life is like. II. Fast Reading(10 points)Crisis-proof Your MarriageExperts say that most difficult marriage situations can be salvaged as long as both parties are willing. “It takes commitment, but it can and does happen,” note Diane Sollee, director of the Coalition for Marriage, Family and Couples Education in Washington, D.C. Here are the ways:Cool off. When emotions are raw, Lonnie Barbach, co-author of Going the Distance: Finding and Keeping Lifelong Love, recommends therapy. “It’s helpful to have a therapist’s objective point of view because, typically, each person just sees what the other person is doing, not how he or she is contributing to the problem.”Therapy needn’t take a big commitment of money and time. Many churches, synagogues and community mental-health centers offer free counseling or support groups. And many therapists practice something called solution-oriented brief therapy, which focuses on problem solving and can take only a few sessions.Learn to Listen. Let your partner express his or her opinion without interruption, then repeat what was said without expressing an opinion: “Just so I understand, what you are feeling is this…”“People don’t necessarily want you agree them, but at least understand what happened,” says Almas Dell Smith, director of the Behavioral Treatment Center in Bookline, Mass., and author of Stress and Marriage.Admit Mistakes. A wife in Woodstock, III., was never comfortable speaking openly with her husband because she feared how he might react. But her silence made him feel shut out. When her sister’s death caused her to retreat further into herself, he turned to another woman for emotional (not sexual) support.At first the wife blamed him totally for the rift. “I’d cry and say it was all fault. But there was another part of me saying, ‘It takes two.’ By not communication openly, I contributed to the problem,” she admits. The couple went for therapy, where the wife learned it was important to speak her mind, and the husband realized he needed to make her feel comfortable to do so. Their marriage is now much stronger.“In every marital conflict it’s important for people to see their own responsibility in the issue – they don’t make progress until they do,” says John Gottman, author of Why Marriages Succeed or Fail.Give Love a Chance. Today’s busy couples often put their marriage in a less important position,without constant efforts to strengthen it, their marriage may turn into a failure.One dual-income couple in Washington, D.C., realized that the intimacy and sharing they had once treasured had disappeared. Problems cropped up about ten years ago when the husband, a 48-year-old financial analyst, had to work long hours and make frequent business trips, while the wife, 44, was busy with her career as a health and human-services program manager. The husband thought he could deal with their problems by taking a lower-paying job that gave him more time at home. But their marital problems were compounded by outside stresses and a clinical depression that the wife suffered.Fortunately they had spiritual support from a church couples group which helped them use their communication skills. Today the marriage is strong again, but the couple knows now never to be too confident. Even so, the wife says, “we’re constantly looking to decrease the stress in our lives. We want to make sure we don’t get into trouble again.”Give Yourself Time. If there has been a betrayal, such as infidelity, don’t expect the wounds to heal quickly. “Forgiveness doesn’t happen all at on ce,” warns Michele Weiner-Davis, author of Divorce Busting.After his wife discovered he was having an affair, a Reno, Nev., man realized what a mistake he’d made. The hurt was deep, however, and he knew he’d have to work hard to regain his wife’s trust. He made sure he was always where he’d said he would be; he called whenever he was going to be late; be even put aside his shyness and started going dancing with his wife because he knew it meant a lot to her.“It took about a year for the trust to come back,” she admits. Today they’ve been married almost 30 years. “We’re looking forward, not backward.”Questions 11 to 15 are based on Passage 1.11. Experts say that difficult marital situations can be salvaged.A. allB. noneC. fewD. most12. The best therapy is one that is .A. of high priceB. with long sessionsC. with a trust-worthy therapistD free counseling or support groups13. When your partner expresses his or her opinion, you should .A. listen carefully without interruptionB. turn a deaf ear to what he or she saysC. interrupt time and again to express your own opinionD. agree with or her without reservation even though you have some doubts14. The expression “how he or she is contributing to the problem” (in paragraph 2) probably meansA. in which way he or she is saving the problemB. in which way he or she is causing the problemC. in which way he or she is suffering the problemD. in which way he or she is solving the problem15. Which of the following statement can suggest the main idea of the passage?A. All relationships can experience difficult times.B. Today’s couples often put their marriage in a less important.C. How to cope with the crises of the marriage.D. Young people can have their marriage without conflictIII. Reading Comprehension(20 points)Directions: Read the following passages carefully and choose the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C and D.Passage 1The AIDS virus is carried in a person's body fluids (体液). The virus can be passed during sex with an infected partner or by sharing instruments used to take intravenous (静脉注射的) drugs. It can also be passed in blood or fluids made from blood or from a pregnant (怀孕的) woman with AIDS to her developing baby.Many stories about the spread of AIDS are false. You cannot get AIDS from working or attending school with someone who has the disease. You cannot get it from drinking glasses or other objects used by such persons. Officials say no one has caught AIDS by living with, caring for, or touching an AIDS patient.There are several warning signs of being infected with AIDS. They include always feeling tired, unexplained (无法解释的) weight loss, and uncontrolled expulsion (排泄) of body wastes. Other warning signs are the appearance of white areas on the mouth, dark red areas of skin that do not go away,and a higher than normal body temperature.However, just because you have one or more of these conditions does not mean you have AIDS. Always go to a doctor or health center for a complete examination. The doctor may give you an AIDS blood test.When a virus enters the body, the body's defenses against disease produce antibodies (抗体) to fight the virus. The test shows if the body has produced antibodies to the AIDS virus. Results of the test are known after a few hours. The test tells only if your body has produced AIDS antibodies. It cannot tell if you have AIDS or if you will ever get the disease. In December (1988), the United States government approved (批准) a simpler and faster AIDS blood test. The newer test can confirm (证实) the presence (出现) of the AIDS antibodies in about five minutes.16. The AIDS virus can spread ___________.A. only from a man to womanB. among those who share drug instrumentsC. by shaking hands with someone who has the virusD. by touching an AIDS patient17. It is wrongly thought that ___________.A. the AIDS virus can be passed during sexB. the AIDS virus can spread from an expecting mother to her babyC. the AIDS virus can be passed by touching infected bloodD. one can get AIDS by working or attending school with someone who has the disease18. The warning signs of being infected with AIDS do not include ____________.A. weight lossB. uncontrolled expulsion of body wastesC. the appearance of red areas of skinD. a body temperature lower than a normal one19. If a person is worried that he might have AIDS, he should go to _____________.A. a government officeB. a defense systemC. an antibody production centerD. a doctor or health center 20. _________ can show if one has AIDS.A. Whether one has a defense method against AIDSB. Whether one has unexplained weight lossC. Whether the AIDS antibodies are produced in the bodyD. The doctor's complete examinationPassage 2Personal computers and the Internet give people new choices about how to spend their time.Some may use this freedom to share less time with certain friends or family members, but new technology will also let them stay in closer touch with those they care about most. I know this from personal experience.Email (电子邮件) makes it easy to work at home, which is where I now spend most weekends and evenings. My working hours aren't automatically much shorter than they once were, but I spend fewer of them at the office. This lets me share more time with my young daughter than I might have if she'd been born before electronic mail became such a practical tool.The Internet also makes it easy to share thoughts with a group of friends. Say you do something fun —see a great film, perhaps—and there are four or five friends who might want to hear about it. If you call each one, you may tire of telling the story.With email, you just write one note about your experience, at your convenience (方便), and address it to all the friends you think might be interested. They can read your message when they have time, and read only as much as they want. They can reply at their convenience, and you can read what they have to say at your convenience.Email is also an inexpensive way to stay in close touch with people who live far away. More than a few parents use email to keep in touch, even daily touch, with their children off at college.We just have to keep in mind that computers and the Internet offer another way of staying in touch. They don't eliminate (排除) any of the old ways.21. The purpose of this passage is to ________.A. explain how to use the InternetB. describe the writer's joy of keeping up with new technologyC. tell the merits and usefulness of the InternetD. introduce the reader to basic knowledge about personal computers and the Internet22. The use of email has made it possible for the writer to ________.A. spend less time workingB. have more free time with his childC. work at home on weekendsD. work at a speed comfortable to him23. According to the writer, email has a clear advantage over the telephone because email helps one_______.A. reach a group of people at one time convenientlyB. keep one's communication as personal as possibleC. pass on much more information than the telephoneD. get in touch with one's friends faster than the telephone24. The passage discussed all the following elements of email EXCEPT _______.A. its costB. the way of writingC. the saving of timeD. its easy and convenient use25.

They can use their psychic ability to heal people whoare sick, to give advice, to give hints about the future, and to do many other things. And it's not just individuals who use psychics; sometimes companies and governments use psychics, too. One year a company called Delphi and Associates earned $120,000 on the stock market with the help of psychics."So how can I get some psychic help?" you may ask yourself. Well, you don't have to pay a lot of money to a professional psychic. You can start by using your own psychic ability.Psychic abilities are really just another sense, similar to our other five senses. The difference is that we never develop our psychic sense in the same way that we develop our other senses. We train our eyes to see the difference between a V and a U; we train our ears to hear the difference between a /ch/ and a /sh/ sound;we can feel the difference between silk and leather; we can smell and taste if milk is sour. But our sixth sense, our psychic sense, seldom develops very much. Because most of us ignore our psychic sense for so long, it takes some time to develop it. If you have never played soccer before, you cannot expect to be a good player after three lessons. It might take years to become really good. Psychic ability works the same way.21. People use psychics _____ .A. mainly to see the futureB. to make moneyC. to see what one cannot usually seeD. for many reasons22. _____ learn to use their psychic abilityA. Many peopleB. Many companiesC. Few peopleD. Few governments23.

Our psychic sense seldom develops very much because ______ .A. we never use itB. we never believe in itC. we ignore itD. we don't want to take time to train it25. The attitude of the author towards psychic abilities is ______ .A. positiveB. ironicalC. criticalD. neutralPassage 4It is not often realized that women held a high place in southern European societies in the 10th and 11th centuries. As a wife, the woman was protected by the setting up of a dowry （嫁妆）or decimum. Admittedly, the purpose of this was to protect her against the risk of being abandoned, but in reality its function in the social and family life of the time was much more important. The decimum was the wife's right to receive a tenth of all her husband's property.The wife had the right to hold back consent, in all transactions （交易）the husband would make. And more than just a right: the documents show that she enjoyed a real powerof decision, equal to that of her husband. In no case do the documents indicate any degree of difference in the legal status of husband and wife.The wife shared in the management of her husband's personal property, but the opposite was not always true. Women seemed perfectly prepared to defend their own inheritance against husbands who tried to exceed their rights, and on occasion they showed a fine fighting spirit. A case in point is that of Maria Vivas, a Catalan woman of Barcelona. Having agreed with her husband Miro to sell a field she had inherited, for the needs of the household, she insisted on compensation （赔偿）. None being offered, she succeeded in dragging her husband to the official in charge to have a contract duly drawn up assigning her a piece of land from Miro's personal inheritance. The unfortunate husband was obliged to agree, as the contract says, "for the sake of peace." Either through the dowry or through being hot-tempered, the Catalan wife knew how to win herself, within the context of the family, a powerful economic position.26. A decimum was _______ .A. the wife's inheritance from her fatherB. a gift of money to the new husbandC. a written contractD. the wife's right to receive one-tenth of her husband's property27. In the society described in the passage, the legal standing of the wife in marriage wasA. higher than that of her husbandB. lower than that of her husbandC. the same as that of her husbandD. higher than that of a single woman28. What compensation did Maria Vivas get for the field?A. Some of the land Miro had inherited.B. A tenth of Miro's landC. Money for household expenses.D. Money from Miro's inheritance.29. Could a husband sell his wife's inheritance?A. No, under no circumstances.B. Yes, whenever he wished to.C. Yes, if she agreed.D. Yes, if his father-in-law agreed.30. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as an effect of the dowry system?A. The husband had to share the power of decision in marriage.B. The wife was protected from being abandoned.C. The wife gained a powerful economic position.D. The husba nd was give n con trol over his wife's property.Part III.

Thomas had fought a long and hard battle against lung cancer for three years. Unfortunately, he has broken the promise that he and Melinda had made: to be with each other for every birthday. Melinda knew this was unrealistic but agreed to the promise for Thomas’s sake.“Thomas, you are completely a dreamer!” Melinda shouted to Thomas as he dragged on about living on an island with his beautiful wife. That s what she loved about him most—he had a vivid imagination. They got married at age eighteen and began having children right away. Mary came within the year，followed by Thomas Benjamin II, Lilly-Ann, and Joseph “Little Joey' George. The family lived an exultant life filled with laughter and love.“Mom!” Lilly shouted, but it really sounded like a howl. Melinda had lost herself in thinking about the life she had shared with her late husband. Lilly pushed her down the long dark halls of the nursing home until they arrived at the recreational room.When the doors opened, Melinda put her hand over her mouth and was completely speechless. The room was crowded with the people nearest and dearest to her and the warmth and love was felt instantly. The night went on; stories and cocktails were shared and everything was perfect. However, when Melinda caught a moment to herself she looked around at her family. With a smile on her face, she raised her Manhattan and called out for a toast. “This one is for you, Thomas，though you are not here.”36. Why did Thomas break his promise?A. He was busy with his work.B.He died of lung cancer.C. He had to serve in the army.D.He stopped loving Melinda.37. Which of the following best explains “exultant” underlined in Paragraph 2?A. Peaceful.B. Simple.C. Stressful.D. Happy.38. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. Melinda，children forgot their father.B. Melinda was tired of noise.C. Melinda missed her husband badly.D. Melinda liked to drink alcohol,39. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. A Particular BirthdayB. A Woman at a Nursing HomeC. Memories of Old DaysD. A Big Surprise for MelindaPassage BSpotify can tell if you’re sad. Here’s why that should scare you. Want to figure out if someone is a patient with a mental disability? Ask them what their favorite song is. A New York University study last year found that people who loved Eminem's Lose Yourself and Justin Bieber's What Do You Mean? were more likely to have trouble with mental disabilities than people who were into Dire Straits.Over the past few years，Spotify has been improving the ability to analyze information to help businessmen target consumers with advertisements made specially for their needs. They conclude this from the sort of music you’re listening to, combined with where and when you’re listening to it, along with third-party data that might be available.Now, to be clear, there’s nothing significantly illegal about what Spotify is doing with your information. I certainly don't think that they are working with shadowy consulting firms to serve you ads selling a culture struggle while you're listening to music that suggests you might be in a terrible situation. However, I find it disappointing that our personal, private moments with music are increasingly being turned into information points and offered to advertisers.You can see where this could go，can’t you? As ad targeting gets ever more accurate, businessmen will have the ability to target our feelings in potentially improper ways. According to one study, you are more likely to spend more on a product if you’re feeling sad. You can imagine some companies might take advantage of that. And on that note，I’m feeling a littledown about all this. Head off to treat myself to something expensive.40. What's the purpose of the first paragraph?A. To introduce a new song.B. To draw readers’ attention.C. To help more patients.D. To promote a new medium.41. Spotify improves its ability to analyze information to______.A. provide services for the governmentB. work with shadowy consulting firmsC. get listeners' personal informationD. help businessmen attract consumers42. What s the author’s attitude towards Spotify?A. Uncertain.B. Supportive.C. Positive.D.Dissatisfied.43. Who is the text probably designed for?A. Internet users.B. Officials.C. Researchers.D.Managers.Passage CAn exciting landing process of Chang'e-4 lunar probe (月球探测器）was seen through the monitor at Beijing Aerospace Control Center in Beijing，Jan. 3, 2019. It touched down on the far side of the moon at 10:26 a.m. Beijing Time, becoming the first spacecraft soft-landing on the moon’s unknown side never visible from Earth.China’s Chang'e-4 probe has started the exploration on the far side of the moon thanks to the relay satellite that provides a communication link with ground control. The relay satellite, named Queqiao, meaning Magpie Bridge, after a Chinese legend, was launched on May 21,2018，and became the first communication satellite operating in the halo orbit, nearly 500,000 km from the earth. It can also provide communication for probes from other countries. The relay satellite will also be used for scientific and technological experiments. The maximum distance between the satellite and the Chang'e-4 probe on the far side of the moon is 79,000 km. The satellite processes data from the probe and sends it to Earth.The satellite can stay in its orbit for a long time due to its relatively low fuel consumption, as the earth’s and moon's gravity balances its orbital moving. While in orbit, it can “see” both the earth and the far side of the moon.The concept of using a relay satellite in the halo orbit was first put forward by U.S. space expertsin the 1960s, but was realized by Chinese space engineers.Researchers hope to use the cameras on the satellite to record asteroids (小行星）hitting the far side of the moon. To control the cost of the Chang'c-4 probe, the relay satellite was designed to be relatively small, weighing about 400 kg.Researchers had just 30 months to develop the satellite, putting them under high pressure. To promote public interest in space exploration, the China National Space Administration invited people to write down their wishes for lunar and space exploration, and the relay satellite carries the names of tens of thousands of participants and their messages.44. What do we learn from the second paragraph?A. The relay satellite was launched on Jan. 3, 2019.B.Chang'e-4 probe was the first communication satellite.C. The relay satellite only explores the far side of the moon.D. The relay satellite can handle data from Chang'e-4 probe.45. Why was the size of the relay satellite relatively small?A. To reduce the cost as much as possible.B. To make it circle Moon for a longer time.C. To avoid being crashed by other satellites.D. To follow American space experts，advice.46. What made researchers suffer from great stress?A. Few people interested in the exploration on the moon.B. The relay satellite carrying too much equipment.C. Their lacking enough time to develop the relay satellite.D. People’s never being optimistic about the relay satellite47. What is the main idea of the text?A. China is a new space power after the USA.B.Change-4 probe lands on Moon’s far side.C. Chinese space engineers make much progress.D. Space exploration is a dangerous challenge.Passage DLast year marked the 100th anniversary of the end of World War I. There were events around theworld in memory of those who died in the conflict. We have picked out three of them in European countries. Let's take a look.BelgiumIn a park, the famous Belgian artist Koen Vanmechelen had an exhibition called Coming World, Remember Me. The work consisted of 600,000 individual(单独的）clay sculptures, one for exhibition was a big egg made of clay each person killed during the World War. In the center of the exhibition was a big egg made of clay, symbolizing a new world.UKIn a small town called Aldridge. almost 100 houses in one street were covered with 24,000poppies and statues of sold.They stood for the men from the area who had been killed in the war. The flowers were chosen because of a poem written by the Canadian doctor John McCrea in1915. They made people think of fields of blood.FranceThe British artist Guy Denning arrived in La Feuille，a small town in the northwest of France, to stick life-size drawings of soldiers who never came back home. Armed with glue and a brush, Denning stuck his drawings carefully on walls. Before long 112 men, ma.nly young adults, were brought back to mind, if not to life.48. What do we know about Coming World. Remember Me?A. It's the name of an exhibition.B. It's a film about World War I.C. It's a work standing for peace.D. It's a sculpture made of clay.49. Why were poppies chosen to symbolize the dead soldiers?A. The British people preferred them.B. They showed the cruelty of war.C. A Canadian doctor suggested them.D. The fields were filled with them.50. How was the end of World War I marked in France?A. A memorial to the dead soldiers was built.B. 112 wounded soldiers in the war were helped.C. Drawings of some dead soldiers were put up.D. Young adults were encouraged to join the army.Part IV Skimming and Scanning (10%)Technology in education: Current trendsA)Computers and Internet connections are becoming widely available in schools and classrooms. In 1999, 99 percent of teachers in the United States had access to a computer in their schools, and 84 percent had one or more computers in their classrooms. At the same time, Internet connections were also widespread, with 95 percent of schools and 63 percent of classrooms having access. Worldwide, many countries are making the creation and diffusion of information and communications technology (ICT) an important priority.The use of technology to find educational resourcesB) In the past, teachers attempting a problem-based curriculum felt the need to limit problems to those for which they had expertise or the local library had resources. Now the World Wide Web brings a seemingly endless amount of information on almost any subject, and it is possible for students to choose topics based on personal interest rather than availability of resources.C) Internet research projects are gaining popularity. In the spring of 1998, 30 percent of teachers surveyed (and 70 percent of those with high-speed Internet connections) reported they had assigned Internet research tasks to their students during the school year. Use of the Internet to gather information for solving problems sometimes resembles a modern version of library research, in which students gather and synthesize information from published reports. Despite the fact that the task seems traditional, the characteristics of this new medium require special skills for students. The sheer volume of information allows students to study almost any topic, but also makes it more difficult to locate precisely the right information from among the thousands, or even millions, of sites. In addition, the ease of publishing materials on the Internet increases the likelihood that students will encounter inaccurate or biased information. As a result, students must learn new strategies for conducting searches and evaluating the information thatthey retrieve.D) Students carrying out scientific investigations can use the Internet to make observations and collect data. For example, the fourth and fifth graders in California collected insects and sent them to San Diego State University. Using two-way audio and video connecting the school and the university, scientists guided the students in using an electron microscope to examine their specimens. Technology has made it possible to collect data from places students could never visit. In recent projects, high school students explored the floor of the Monterey Bay by studying the video from remotely operated robots, and middle school students were given time to use the Hubble telescope. Students also use technology to collect data in their schools and communities. For example, using handheld computers outfitted with various types of probes （探测仪），students can monitor the water quality at various locations in nearby streams or lakes. By transmitting their individual readings to a laptop computer in a field laboratory they can quickly graph their data and visually compare readings.The use of technology to summarize and present findingsE) In the past, students memorized and used formulas and models created by others to solve problems. Students often used these formulas, especially in the early stages of learning, with little understanding. In the early 21st century computer tools provide the opportunity for students to construct and test their own models using tools such as spreadsheets （电子制表软件）or concept maps （概念图）. This type of instruction deepens students' understanding of abstract concepts and allows these concepts to be taught at an earlier age.F) Once students have summarized their data and other information, they typically communicate their findings to others. Writing reports is still the most widespread use of ICT, with 61 percent of US teachers assigning students word-processing tasks. In addition to text, students also use computer-created graphics, videos, and animations to communicate their ideas.G) The teacher is not the only audience for students' presentations. Students frequently expect to present their work to and receive feedback from their peers and the world outside their classroom. Whether they are using presentation software to accompany a face-to也cepresentation or developing materials to put on the Web, the trend is for students to be able to communicate their work to a broad audience. This increases students' perception that problem-based learning is real work for real audiences.The use of technology for collaboration and distance educationH) There are many opportunities for individual students to use technology to enhance their learning. These include online courses that provide students in remote locations with opportunities for customized curriculum and advanced placement courses （先修课程）. These courses are conducted entirely online and offer asynchronous （异步的）interaction among faculty and students. Because they allow students to participate anytime and from anywhere, online courses are becoming increasingly popular among postsecondary （高等教育）students whose job and personal commitments do not allow them to meet a regular class schedule.I) Opportunities for interaction with peers from other countries can also contribute to knowledge and understanding of other cultures. ICT makes this type of communication possible for anyone with Internet access. For example, the Kidlink project encourages students up to age 15 to use the Internet to build a global network of friends. Kidlink participants discuss issues ranging from how to make and keep friends to war and peace.J) Monitoring students' independent learning in these flexible environments will be supported by sophisticated new assessment technologies that will help teachers collect and analyze students' data and make instructional decisions. These tools will continually assess students' work and provide feedback to them and their teachers. Such assessment has the potential to make time-consuming standardized testing unnecessary and to personalize the curriculum for every student. Ubiquitous，well-integrated technology tools will bring educators closer to redefine the educational enterprise and provide customized, just-in-time solutions for the learning needs of students.____1 Students find it more difficult to locate the right information from among a large number of websites.____2 Teachers will use sophisticated new technologies to assess students' learning in flexible environments and make instructional decisions.____3 Collecting information from the Internet is similar to that in the library as students obtain published reports and process the information in both cases.____4 While teachers had to limit problems to those with resources in the process of teaching in the past, students nowadays can make their own interest-based choices because of a large amount of information available on many subjects.____5 Students of higher education prefer online courses to those given at fixed time and in fixed places due to their other businesses.____6 The Kidlink project encourages students up to 15 to make foreign friends and have discussions about a wide range of issues on the Internet.____7 Many countries around the world prioritize the creation and spread of ICT.____8 By means of two-way audio and video, scientists in San Diego State University instructed the fourth- and fifth-grade students in California to observe specimens with electronic devices. ____9 Face-to-face presentations accompanied by software indicate the trend that students can communicate their work with more people.____10 Because of computer tools, abstract concepts can be better understood by students and be taught at an earlier age.Part V Translation (10%)1. 孔子的许多思想，尤其是教育思想，对中国社会产生了深远的影响。

In a world increasingly hostile to children, we want to show we care by acting on our loving impulses, which usually means spending. But when our kids came home asking for the latest designer wear, my wife and I knew we had to say “no”more often than not. Ofcourse, deciding tohave no TV in the house was the first real breakthrough; Idoubt we would have won this battle without freeing ourselves from its influence.As a child, I grew up in what I now see was poverty. For the first few years of my life, I ate only the smallest amount. Yet, I would find it hard to imagine a happier childhood. Why? Because my parents gave us children time and attention on a daily basis. For instance, no mater how busy they were, they tried to eat breakfast with us before we went off to school each morning.No child should have to live in poverty. ButI firmly believe that the happiness of a child does not depend on his or her access to material wealth. After all, it is the love we give our children, and not the things, that will remain with them for life.Havingworked thirty years as a family counselor, I know that parents really to love their children, and want to do what is best for them. But what does it mean to give a child love? Next time you feel that your have failed your kids, and are tempted to relieve those feeling by bringing home gifts, remember thatwe can 'tbuy our children 's affection. All they really want, and need, is time and attentiveness, a listening ear and an encouraging word. These are things every parent can provide.16.

They had thought they 'd never be able to get away on this holiday, their first holiday alone, without the family, since their honeymoon. They had had to arrange for Mrs. Malloy 'smother to look after Freddie and George, their children, while a neighbor had kindly agreed to look after Annabelle their cat, for the two weeks of their of their holiday. Then there ' d been the problem of arranging both to take their annual leave from work at the same time, all the bother of getting passports (it was their first holiday abroad) and finally the last minute rush to pack, get the children off to their grandmother and make sure the neighbor had precise instructions as to what Annabelle liked to eat. Sometimes they'd wondered whether it was all worth while. But there they were at last, on an aeroplane heading for the unknown pleasures of a holiday resort in Spain.Mrs. Malloy was still a bit worriedabout the thought of eating strange foreign food and had some real English tea and tins in her luggage, just in case. Mr. Malloy wondered whether the few Spanish phrases he'd learned in six weeks of evening classes would beenough to talk to the natives, and anxiously thumbed his bilingual ( 双语的) phrase book.21.

Being able to find after-sales service creates a feeling of convenience and a sense of responsibility from the manufacturer. This is very important to build customer loyalty and explains why more 24-hour hotline centers are available nowadays.Product guarantee is also one of the major factors when a potential customer decides to make a purchase. Whether this be in the form of a written guarantee or a guarantee based on reputation, the importance to the consumer is self-evident. A brand 's research & development, an unavoidable investment, usually back up safety guarantees for marketers nowadays.

For each blank there are 4 choices marked A, B, C, and D. You should choose the one that best fits into the passage.Children model themselves largely on their parents. They do so mainly through identification. Children identify a parent when they believe they have the qualities and feelings that are of that parent. The things parents do and say—and then they do and say to them—therefore stronglyinfluence a child’s 24 .However, parents must consistently behave like the type of 25 they want their child to become.A parent’s actions 26 affect the self image that a child forms 27 identification. Children who see mainly positive qualities in their will likely learn to see themselves in a positive way. Children who observe chiefly qualities in their parents will have difficulty positive qualities in themselves. Children may 31 their self image, however, as they become increasingly 32 by peers groups standards before they reach 13 . Isolated events, 33 dramatic ones, do not necessarily have a permanent 34 on a child’s behavior.Children interpret such events according to their established attitudes and previous training. Children who know they are loved can, , accept the divorce of their parent’s or a parents early .But if children feel unloved, they may interpret such events 37 a sign of rejection or punishment.In the same way, all children are not influenced 38 by toys and games, reading matter, and television programs. in the case of a dramatic change in family relations, the of an activity or experience depends on how the child interprets it.21.A.to B. with C.around D.for/doc/aaae5af3580102020740be1e650e52ea5418ce6f.html rmed B.characteristic C.conceivedD.indicative23.A.gesture B.expression C.way D.extent24.A.behavior B.words C.mood D.reactions25.A.person B.humans C.creatures D.adult26.A.in turn B.nevertheless C.also D.as a result27.A.before B.besides C.with D.through28.A.eyes B.parents C.peers D.behaviors29.A.negative B.cheerful C.various /doc/aaae5af3580102020740be1e650e52ea5418ce6f.html plex30.A.see B.seeing C.to see D.to seeing31.A.modify B.copy C.give up D.continue32.A.mature B.influenced C.unique D.independent33.A.not B.besides C.even D.finally34.A.idea B.wonder C.stamp D.effect35.A.luckily B.for example C.at most D.theoretically 36.A.deathB.rewardsC.adviceD.teaching37.A.as B.being C.of D.for38.A.even B.at all C.alike D.as a whole39.A.Oh B.Alas C.Right D.As40.A.result B.effect C.scale D.causeIII. Reading ComprehensionDirections: After reading the following passages, you will find 5 questions or unfinished statement. For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A, B, C or D. You should make the correct choice.Passage OneJust as exercise strengthens the heart and lungs, bones and muscles, it may also power up the brain. A succession of scientific studies of animals implies that physical activity has a positive effect on mental functioning.“It’s clear that the brain benefits from exercise,” says scientist William Greenough of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. His studies with rats have demonstrated two primary effects of activity: vigorous physical exercise provides the brain with more fuel, and skill-based exercise increases the formation of connections in the brain, which, according to the proposals of some scientists, may make the brain better able to process information.In one experiment, laboratory rats were separated into three groups. One group was exercised by running inside an automatic wheel, a second group improved their skills in a complicated obstacle course, and a third group was inactive.“The animals that learned to go through the obstacle course exhibited a greater number of brain connections than the animals in the exercised or inactive groups,” Greenough said. “In contrast, the animals that exercised inside the automatic wheel possessed a greater density of blood vessels in the brain than did either of the other two groups of animals.”Learning a new dance step may boost the brain in the same way that learning a language can, he says. And if the dance is a good physical exercise as well, the benefits multiply. Young brains may be especially able to boost brain power through exercise, suggested another of Greenough’s experiments that showed the most significant changes in the brain occurred among rats that had been exercised when very young. And while animals aren’t people, he says it is logical to make the inference that an effect found in rats may also apply to humans.Human studies have focused primarily on older adults and suggest that regular exercise can improve the speed with which the brain processes information. Measurements made by Arthur Kramer at the University of Illinois demonstrated that inactive adults, aged 63 to 82, could hit buttons faster in response to a tone after they went through a 10-week water exercise course.A corresponding control group that didn’t exercise showed no improvement.41.__________ can benefit from physical exercise.A. Only the heart and lungsB. Only bones and musclesC. Only the brainD. All of the above42. What makes the brain better able to process information?A. Vigorous physical exercise.B. Skill-based exercise.C. Both of them.D. Neither of them.43. While _________ of rats showed a greater number of brain connections, ________ had a greater density of blood vessels in the brain.A. the first group/the third groupB. the second group/the third groupC. the first group/the second groupD. the second group/the first group44. One possible reason for scientists to make experiments with rats or other animals is that _____.A. rats benefits from the experimentsB. the experiments can boost the brains of the ratsC. an effect found in rats may also apply to humansD. rats and humans are very much alike45. Which word in Paragraph 6 tells us that older adults were divided into two groups in the humans studies?A. Corresponding.B. Inactive.C. Older.D. Faster./Passage TwoMary Engelbreit was a talented but struggling artist in her mid-twenties when she flew to New York from her native Saint Louis, h oping to find work illustrating children’s books----her life’ goal. So shewas disappointed when all the book publishers she visited turned her down. One even suggested her drawings might be better suited to greeting cards.“I was crushed,” she admits. Gre eting cards seemed a comedown from her high expectations, but the advice stayed with her, and she decided to give it a try. The results transformed her life forever.Today Mary Engelbreit sells an astonishing 14 million greeting cards a year. Her popular designs appear on more than 2,000 products, including books, calendars, and kitchen items. She runs a retail company and the annual sales are in the $100 million range----all as a result of that fateful, disappointing trip to New York.Once you know Engelbr eit’s distinctive style, you can recognize her cards from 200 paced away----bright, funny, and with an eye to the past. Engelbreit is cheerful, down-to-earth, humorous, and always cute. “ I think the world could use more cuteness,” she explains. Indeed, it’s her trademark.With her work taking off in so many directions, it was perhaps inevitable that Engelbreit would eventually realize her dream of illustrating a children’s book. In 1993 she created drawings for a children’ book and saw it become a best-seller. At the same time she made a surprising discovery: “It was fun, but oddly enough, I like doing greeting cards best.”46. When she flew to New York, Mary Engelbreit expected ______.A. she would be better suited to drawing greeting cardsB. she would be turned down by the book publishersC. she would give a try at drawing greeting cardD. she would illustrate children’s book47. As a result of that fateful, disappointing trip to New York, Engelbreit______.A. gave up on drawing illustrationsB. dre w illustrations for a children’s bookC. became a successful illustrator for greeting cardsD. made a drawing of a young girl in overalls.48. You can tell Engelbreit’s cards from 20 paces away by their style of being____.A. plain and funnyB. bright and funnyC. plain and boldD. serious49. Which of the following characteristics is most important to Mary Engelbreit？A. CuteB. down-to-earthC. cheerfulD. humorous50. According to the writer, Mary Engelbreit finally realized her dream of illustrating children’sbook because____.A. she learned how to illustrate children’s booksB. she kept her feet firmly on the groundC. she overcame many difficultiesD. she succeeded in many different waysPassage ThreeAmy High is decked out in the traditional pink dress and golden stole of ancient Rome. She bursts into a third-grade classroom and greets her students: "Salvete, omnes!" (Hello, everyone!) The kids respond in kind, and soon they are studying derivatives. "How many people are in a duet?" High asks. All the kids know the answer, and when she asks how they know, a boy responds, "Because duo is 'two' in Latin." High replies, "Plaudite!" and the 14 kids erupt in applause. They learn the Latin root later, or side, and construct such English words as bilateral and quadrilateral. "Latin's going to open up so many doors for you," High says. "You're going to be able to figure out the meaning of words you've never seen before." High teaches at Providence Elementary School in Fairfax City, Va., which has a lot riding on the success of her efforts. As part of Virginia's high-stakes testing program, schools that don't boost their scores by the year 2007 could lose state funding. So Fairfax City, just 18 miles southwest of the White House, has upgraded its two crumbling elementary schools with new high-tech television studios, computer labs and one very old feature--mandatory Latin.Here lies one of the more counterintuitive developments of the standardized-testing movement: Though some critics complain that teachers are forced to dumb down their lessons and "teach to the test," some schools are offering more challenging course work as a way of engaging students. In the past three years, scores of elementary schools in high-stakes testing states such as Texas, Virginia and Massachusetts have added Latin programs. Says Allen Griffith, a member of the Fairfax City school board: "If we’re trying to improve English skills, teaching Latin is an awfully effective, proved method." This is not your father's Latin, which was taught to elite college-bound high schoolers and drilled into them through memorization. Its tedium and perceived irrelevance almost drove Latin from public schools. Today's growth in elementary school Latin has been spurred by new, interactive oral curriculums, enlivened by lessons in Roman mythology and culture. "One thing that makes it engaging for kids is the goofy fun of investigating these guys in togas," says Marion Polsky, author of First Latin: A Language Discovery Program, the textbook used in Fairfax City.Latin enthusiasts believe that if young students learn word roots, they will be able to decipher unfamiliar words. (By some estimates, 65% of all English words have Latin roots.) Latin is an almost purely phonetic language. There are no silent letters, and each letter represents a singlesound. That makes it useful in teaching reading. And once kids master the grammatical structure of Latin--which is simple, logical and consistent--they will more easily grasp the many grammatical exceptions in English.51. From the first Paragraph we learn that _____.A. the students show little interest in learning LatinB. the students say hello to their teacher in LatinC. Amy High teaches the students to read Bible in LatinD. learning English is unnecessary if you have perfectly mastered Latin52. Which of the following statements is not true according to the text?A. The testing program is crucial to the schools.B. Latin is compulsory to the elementary schools students in Fairfax City.C. Providence Elementary School will not get state funding this year.D. Fairfax City government had done a lot to equip its elementary schools.53. According to Allen Griffith, Latin _______.A. has little to do with EnglishB. is very helpful to one’s learning EnglishC. wil l replace English in the near futureD. should be taught to kids even when they are in elementary school54. Which of the following best defines the word “plaudite”?A. Great.B. Sorry.C. Class is overD. Sad.55. One reason for Latin enthusiasts to sup port young students’ learning Latin is _______.A. Latin has a longer history than EnglishB. Latin has less word rootsC. every letter in English word represent a single soundD. Learning Latin will facilitate English learningIV. Translation.

） PART I READING COMPREHENSION (30 points, 15×2 ) Directions: There are 3 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), and you should decide which the best choice is. Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. Passage One Questions 1-5 are based on the following passage. For a long time women with HIV were ignored because the focus was totally on HIV men. The gay community （同性恋） was very much in sight and vocal(呼声高的)and successfully got support for its cause. Now we are rapidly approaching the point where about one half of all AIDS cases in the world are women. But no one is taking this dangerously high level of infection among women seriously enough. Women usually have a worse time dealing with HIV than men do. In most cases, the woman is taking care of children as well as hersick partner. She may not even have time to take care of herself.The HIV-positive woman ends up shouldering the family as well as her own personal problems. Men, however, are usually the ones who have insurance(保险), income and access to doctors. They get care. Women often do not.The discrimination(歧视) against HIV-positive women is simply terrible. They are likely to be more inactive than men in the home and workplace because too many people think that women are the cause of the disease. This is not at all true. They get it from a man. They don’t just simply have HIV. Of course, there’s a social discrimination against all people with HIV. They are scared that other people will know they are HIV-positive and that they will, therefore, be discriminated against. For example, it’s very different for people with HIV to travel. They are not allowed to enter many countries, including the United States, China and Russian.The biggest difficulty an HIV-positive woman must face is the isolation(孤立). Once the woman knows she’s HIV-positive, she lives in fear that other people will find out. She’s so frightened she will go into hiding, into an isolated place by herself. It’s not at all uncommon to meet a woman who has been HIV-positive for nearly 10 years and has never told anyone, except the doctor. And the resulting stress is enough to make her sick. But HIV-positive women who get support, who can discuss their trouble and then do something about it—whether that means taking better care of themselves or going to the United Nations to struggle for their rights—are likely to live longer. Active women don’t die out of shame in a corner. This happens to too many HIV-positive women.1. Women with HIV were ignored for a long time because .A. their effort to attract attention was not as successful as the HIV men’sB. they often lived in a community that was hardly noticed by othersC. HIV men were the only concern over a long timeD. they failed to get support2. Which of the following statements is not trueA. HIV-positive women make up nearly half of all AIDS cases in the world.B. The gay community succeeded in getting support.C. The high level of infection among women has been taken seriously.D. There is social discrimination against all people with HIV.3. According to the passage, it’s difficult for the women to dealwith HIV but not because .often lose their jobs after other people find out they are HIV-positiveB. they usually have the family problemC. they often have no access to doctorsD. they have little time left to take care of themselves4. Countries such as the United States and China are mentioned in the article in order to show that .A. there are more AIDS cases in those countriesB. it is not convenient for HIV-positive people to travelC. they often have no access to doctorsD. people have little time left to take care of themselves5. Which of the following does the passage show to us that activewomen don’t doA. Get support from others.B. Discuss their trouble with their doctors only.C. Struggle for their rights.D. Take better care of themselves.Passage TwoQuestions 6-10 are based on the following passage.Valentine’s Day（情人节）was the time my father chose to show his love for the special people in his life. Over the years I fondly thought of him as my “Valentine Man”.At the age of six, on Valentine’s Day morning, I got a card signed “Love, Dad”for the first time and a gift of ring with small piece of red glass. As I grew older, the gifts gave way to heart-shaped boxes filled with my favorite chocolates and always included a special card signed “Love, Dad”. Year by year, the cards seemed less important, and I thought the valentine（情人节卡片或礼物等）would always be there. I had placed my hopes and dreams in receiving cards and gifts from “important others”, and “Love,Dad” just didn’t seem quite enough.If my father knew then that he had been replaced, he never let it show. If he sensed any disappointment over valentines that didn’t arrive from me, he just tried that much harder to create a positive atmosphere（气氛）, giving me an extra hug and doing what he could to make my day a little brighter.On Valentine’s Day eight years ago I received a card addressed to me in my mother’s handwriting. On the side, my mother had printed “Happy Valentine’s Day” and my father had signed “Love, Dad”. It was the kind of card that put tears in my eyes because I knew this would be the last I would receive from him.His final card remains on my desk today. It’s a remainder of how special fathers can be and how important it has been to me over the years to know that I had a father who continued a tradition of love with simple acts of understanding and had the ability to express happiness to the people in his life.6. Why did the writer think of her father as her “Valentine Man”over the yearsA. Her father had given her a valentine on Valentine’s Day toshow his love, understanding and happiness.B. She had placed her hopes and dreams in receiving cards and giftsfrom her father on Valentine’s Day.C. Her father created a positive atmosphere (气氛) and made herday brighter on Valentine’s Day.D.

When the writer grew older, her father’s card seemed lessimportant because .A. she was no longer interested in Valentine’s DayB. she thought her father’s Valentine wasn’t enough and hopedto get more from othersC. her boyfriend took the place of her fatherD. she did not like the design of the cards her father sent her8. When the writer was disappointed about the valentines she did notreceive, her father .A. gave her another heart shaped box filled with her favorite chocolates.B. tried to talk with her about something elseC. told her to place her hopes and dreams away from othersD. comforted her by doing what he could to make her happy9. Why was the writer’s last valentine written in her mother’s writingA. Her mother wanted to show her love too.B. Her father was so busy that he had no time to mail the card.C. Her father was too ill to mail a card.D. Her father wanted to give her a surprise.10. The writer put her father’s final card on her desk in order to .A. remember her father and his loveB. show it to her colleagues (同事)C. think of the past life of her fatherD. get encouragement from her fathersPassage ThreeQuestions 11-15 are based on the following passage.As we have seen, the focus of medical care in our society has been shifting from curing disease to preventing disease –especially in terms of changing our many unhealthy behaviors, such as poor eating habits, smoking, and failure to exercise. The line of thought involved in this shift can be pursued further. Imagine a person who is about the right weight , but does not eat very nutritious(有营养的) foods, who feels OK but exercises only occasionally, who goes to work every day, but is not an outstanding worker, who drinks a few beers at home most nights but does not drive while drunk , and who has no chest pains or abnormal blood counts, but sleeps a lot and often feels tired. This person is not ill. He may not even be at risk for any particular disease. But we can imagine that this person could be a lot healthier.The field of medicine has not traditionally distinguished between someone who is merely “ not ill” and someone who is in excellent health and pays attention to the body’s special needs. Both types have simply been called “well”. In recent years, however, somehealth specialists have begun to apply the terms “well” and “wellness” only to those who are actively striving to maintain and improve their health. People who are well are concerned with nutrition and exercise and they make a point of monitoring their body's condition. Most important, perhaps, people who are well take active responsibility for all matters related to their health. Even people who have a physical disease or handicap (缺陷) may be "well," in this new sense, if they make an effort to maintain the best possible health they can in the face of their physical limitations. "Wellness" may perhaps best be viewed not as a state that people can achieve, but as an ideal that people can strive for. People who are well are likely to be better able to resist disease and to fight disease when it strikes. And by focusing attention on healthy ways of living, the concept of wellness can have a beneficial impact on the ways in which people face the challenges of daily life.11. Today medical care is placing more stress on______.A. keeping people in a healthy physical conditionB. monitoring patients' body functionsC. removing people's bad living habitsD. ensuring people's psychological well-being12. In the first paragraph, people are reminded that_____.A. good health is more than not being illB. drinking, even if not to excess, could be harmfulC. regular health checks are essential to keeping fitD. prevention is more difficult than cure13. Traditionally, a person is considered "well" if he ______.A. does not have any unhealthy living habitsB. does not have any physical handicapsC. is able to handle his daily routinesD. is free from any kind of disease14. According to the author, the true meaning of "wellness" is forpeople _____.A. to best satisfy their body's special needsB. to strive to maintain the best possible healthC. to meet the strictest standards of bodily healthD. to keep a proper balance between work and leisure15. According to what the author advocates, which of the followinggroups of people would be considered healthyA. People who have strong muscles as well as slim figures.B. People who are not presently experiencing any symptoms ofdiseaseC. People who try to be as possible, regardless of theirlimitations.D. People who can recover from illness even without seekingmedical care.(30 points, 15×2）Directions:There are 15 blanks in thefollowing passage. For each blank there arefour choices marked A, B and C.
