exchanged in things that could be touched: food, tools, and precious metals and stones Then the barter system was replaced by coins,which still had real value since they were pieces of rare metal Coins were followed by fiat money,paper notes that have value only because everyone agrees to accept themToday electronic monetary systems are gradually being introduced that will transform money into even less tangible forms,reducing it to a series of “bits and bytes” ,or units of computerizedinformation,going between machines at the speed of light Already,electronic fund transfer allows money to be instantly sent and received by different banks,companies,and countries through computers and telecommunications devices1 Which of the following would be the most appropriate title for the passage?（）A International Banking PoliciesB The History of Monetary ExchangeC The Development of Paper CurrenciesD Current Problems in the Economy2 According to the passage,which of the following was the earliest kind of exchange of wealth?（）A Bartered goodsB Fiat moneyC Coin currencyD Intangible forms3 The author mentions food,tools and precious metals and stones together because they are all （）A

For example, money can’t buy us happiness and a good education. And for another example, money can’t buy us good health and a long life. But we can not live without money. We need it for our daily necessities such as food, clothes and transportation. What’s more, we need it to live a better life. In short, we should learn the value of money and make the most of its advantages.。

Passage OneAll the housewives who went to the new supermarket had one great ambition: to be the lucky customer who did not have to pay for her shopping. For this was wha t the notice just inside the entrance promised. It said: “Remember, onc e a week, one of our customers gets free goods. This May Be Your Lucky Day!”For several weeks Mrs. Edwards hoped, like many of her friends, to be the lu cky customer. Unlike her friends, she never gave up hoping. The cupboards in kitchen were full of things which she did not need. Her husband tried to advis e her against buying things but failed. She dreamed of the day when the mana ge r of the supermarket would approach her and say: “Madam, this is Your Lu cky Day. Everything in your basket is free.”One Friday morning, after she had finished her shopping and had taken it to h er car, she found that she had forgotten to buy any tea. She dashed back to t he supermarket, got the tea and went towards the cash-desk. As she did so, sh e saw the manager of the supermarket approach her. “Madam,” he said, holdin g out his hand, “I want to con gratulate you! You are our lucky customer and everything you have in your basket is free!”61.The housewives learnt about the of free goods C .A.on TVB. from the managerC. at the supermarketD. from the newspaper62.Mrs. Edwards C .A.is always very luckyB. had no friendsC. hoped to get free shoppingD. gets disappointed easily63.Mrs. Edwards’s husband tried to D .A.make her unhappyB. cheer her upC. buy things with herD. stop her buying things64.Mrs. Edwards went back to the supermarket quickly because she had toA .A.buy another thingB. talk to the managerC. pay for her shoppingD. find her shopping65.Mrs. Edwards must have been D .A.pleasedB. delightedC. proudD. disappointedPassage TwoDeep inside a mountain near Sweetwater in East. Tennessee is a body of wate r known as the Lost Sea. It is listed by the Guinness Book of Would Records as the world’s largest underground lake. The Lost Se a is part of an extensive and historic cave system called Craighead Caverns.The caverns have been known and used since the days of the Cherokee Indian nation. The cave expands into a series of huge rooms from a small opening o n the side of the mountain. Approximately one mile from the entrance, in a ro om called “The Council Room,” many Indian artisfacts have been found. Some of the items discovered include pottery, arrowheads, weapons, and jewelry.For many years there were persistent rumors of a large underground lake some where in a cave, but it was not discovered until 1905. In that year, a thirteen- year-old boy named Ben Sands crawled through a small opening three hundred feet underground. He found himself in a large cave half filled with water.Today tourists visit the Lost Sea and ride far out onto it in glass-bottomed bo ats powered by electric motors. More than thirteen acres of water have been mapped out so far and still no end to the lake has been found. Even though teams of divers have tried to explore the Lost Sea, the full extent of it is still unknown.66.The Lost Sea is unique because it is B .A.part of a historical cave systemB.the biggest underground lake in the worldC.listed in the Guinness Book of World RecordsD.the largest body of water in Tennessee67.The Craighead Caverns have been known B .A.through historyB. since the time of the Indian nationsC. since 1905D. since divers explored them68.Who located the Lost Sea in recent times?

Many old Indian objects.70.It can be inferred from the passage that the Craighead Caverns presentlyserve as C .A.an underground testing siteB. an Indian meeting groundC. a tourist attractionD. a motor boat race course Passage ThreeGenerations of Americans have been brought up to believe that a good breakfa st is one life’s essentials. Eating breakfast at the start of the day, we have all been told, and told again, is as necessary as putting gasoline in the family car before starting a trip.But for many people the thought of food first thing in the morning is by no means a pleasure. So despite all the efforts, they still take no breakfast. Betwe en 1977 and 1983, the latest year for which figures are available, the number of people who didn’t have breakfast, increased by 33percent.For those who feel pain of guilt about not eating breakfast, however, there is some good news. Several studies in the last few years indicate that, for adults especially, there may be nothing wrong with omitting breakfast. “Going without breakfast d oes not affect performance,” said Arrold E. Bender, former professor of the nutrition at Queen Elizabeth College in London, “nor does giving peopl e breakfast improve performance.”Scientific evidence linking breakfast to better health or better performance is su rprisingly inadequate, and most of the recent work involves children, not adults, “The literature”, says one researcher, Dr. Erresto at the University of Texas, “i s poor”.71.The latest year for which figures could be obtained is D .A.the year the author wrote the articleB. 1977C. any year between 1997 and 1983D. 198372.For those who do not take breakfast, the good news is that B .A.several studies have been done in the past few yearsB.the omission of breakfast does no harm to one’s healthC.adults have especially made studies in this fieldD.eating little in the morning is good for health73.“…nor does giving people breakfast improve performance”means C .A.anyone without breakfast does improve his performanceB.not giving people breakfast improve performanceC.having breakfast does not improve performance, eitherD.people having breakfast do improve their performance74.The word “literature” in the last sen tence refers to B .A.stories, poems, plays, etc.B. written works on a particular subjectC. any printed materialD. the modern literature of America75.What is implied but NOT stated by the author is that C .A.breakfast does not affect performanceB.Dr. Erresto is engaged in research work at an institution of higherlearningC.not eating breakfast might affect the health of childrenD.Professor Bender once taught college courses in nutrition in London Passage FourAbout 35% of all high school graduates in America continue their education in an institution of higher learning. The word college is used to refer to either a college or a university. These institutions offer four-year programs that lead to a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) or Bachelor Science (B.S.) degree. Some students att end a junior college (providing only a two-year program) for one to two yearsbefore entering a four-year college as a sophomore (二年级生) or junior (三年级生).It is generally easier to be accepted at a state university than at a private one. Most private schools require strict entrance examinations and a high grade poin t average (GPA), as well as specific college prep classes in high school. Privat e schools cost considerably more than state colleges and famous private schools are very expensive. Poorer students can sometimes attend, however, by earni ng scholarships. Some college graduates go on to earn advanced masters or do ctoral degrees in grad (graduate) school. Occupations in certain fields such as l aw or medicine require such advanced studies.Since college costs are very high, most students work at part-time jobs. Some have full-time jobs and go to school part-time. Often some will take five or m ore years to complete a four-year program because of money / job demands o n their time.While the college and work demands take up the great part of a student’s tim e, most still enjoy social activities. Sports, dances, clubs, movies, and plays are all very popular. However, gathering together for long, philosophical talks at a favorite meeting place on or near the university is probably the most popular a ctivity.76.College education is A in America.A.quite commonB. very rareC. something difficultD. almost impossible77.Which of the following is NOT required for entering most private schools.B .A.entrance examinationsB. taking part in many activitiesC. GPAD. college prep classes78.How can poor students attend private schools? D .A.Only by working at part-time jobs.B.Only by working at full-time jobs.C.Only by earning scholarships.D.All of above.79.The American college students like to A most of all.A.discuss problems on philosophyB.play ballsC.earn enough moneyD.go to the cinemas or theatres80.The best title for this passage is B .A.Part-time jobsB. American collegeC. Popular activityD. A new systemⅤ.

Students may borrow up to$4,500annually from a bank,credit union,savings and loan association or other eligible lender.Repayment on these loans usually begins six months after the student leaves school.These loans carry no interest until this time.This current interest rate is9percent.Parents may borrow up to$300annually for each dependent college.Repayment begins forty-five days after receiving the loan,and the interest rate is 12percent.官方网址: 61.Which of the following is the main purpose?To remind students and their families to repay their loan.To compare interest rates.To inform students and parents of the various loans available.To show that government loans charge the least interest.62.The highest interest rate is charged to_______.A.full-time studentsB.parentsC.students borrowing from a credit unionD.half-time students63.If parents had three children in college how much could they borrow annually?A.900B.3,000C.300D.9,00064.According to the passage which of the following is true.The government lends students enrolled at least half time up to3,000annually. Students may borrow up to$4,500annually from four sources.Students enrolled less than half time may borrow money.The current interest rate from banks is5percent.65.It can be inferred from the passage that_______.the student’s school determines who is an eligible lendermoney is available for student loansstudents need not be enrolled half time to borrow moneythe interest rate on student loans is increasing官方网址: Passage TwoAre you aware that you actually possess six senses?The sixth is a muscular sense responsible for directing your muscles intelligently to the exact extent necessary for each action you perform.For example,when you reach for an object,the sensory nerves linking the muscles to the brain stop your hand at the correct spot.This automatic perception of the position of your muscles in relation to the object is your muscular sense in action.Muscles are stringly bundles of fibers varying from one five-thousandth of an inch to about three inches.They have three unique characteristics,they can become shorter and thicker;they can stretch;and they can retract to their original positions.Under a high-powered microscope,muscle tissue is seen as long,slender cells with a grainy texture like wood.More than half of a person’s body is composed of muscle fibers,most of which are involuntary—in other words,work without conscious direction.The voluntary muscles, those that we move consciously to perform particular actions,number more than five hundred.Women have only60to70percent as much muscle as men for their body mass. That is why an average woman can’t lift as much,throw as far,or hit as hard as an average man.66.According to the selection,the muscular sense is responsible for______.A.the efficiency of our musclesB.the normal breathing functionC.directing our muscles intelligentlyD.the work of only our involuntary muscles67.Intelligent use of the muscles means that________.one always knows what his muscles are doingone performs simple actions whithout workingone’s muscles are used only to the extent necessary for each action they performone improves muscular action consciously68.Muscles are unique fibers because,they can________.官方网址:A.contractB.stretchC.retractD.do all of the above69.Under a microscope,muscle cells appear to be_______.A.textured like woodB.colored like woodC.smooth and redD.short and thick70.According to the selection more than half of a person’s body is composed of ______.A.voluntary musclesB.involuntary musclesC.muscle fibersD.sensory nervesPassage ThreeThe large part which war played in English affairs in the Middle-Ages,the fact that the control of the army and navy was in the hands of those that spoke French,and the circumstances that much of English fighting was done in France all resulted in the introduction into English of a number of French military terms.The art of war has undergone such changes since the battles of Hastings,Lewes,and Agincourt that many words once common are now only in historical use.Their places have been taken by later borrowings,often like wise from French,many of them being words acquired by the French in the course of their wars in Italy during the sixteenth century.Yet we still use French words of the Middle Ages when we speak of the army and the navy,of peace, enemy,battle,soldier,guard and spy,and we have kept the names of officers such as captain and sergeant.Some of the French terms were introduced into English because they were needed to express a new object or a new idea.In other cases a French and a native English word for the same thing existed side by side.Sometimes one or the other has since been lost from the language;but sometimes both the borrowed and the native word have been still in common use.71.The main idea of this passage is that______.most of today’s common English military terms dated from the sixteenth century or later官方网址:a study of the English vocabulary shows the important part which war has played in the history of Englandmany French words borrowed into English during the Middle Ages have since disappeared from the languagemany military terms used in English were originally borrowed from French,some as early as the Middle Ages72.All of the following have something to do with the introduction into English of many French military terms except that_______.war played an important part in English affairs in the Middle Agesthe English army and navy were controlled by those who spoke French in the war between England and FranceFrance invaded England in the Middle Ages and many battles were fought in Englandmuch of English fighting was done in France in the war between England and France73.The art of war has undergone such changes that_______.we no longer use any French words of the Middle Agesmany words once common are not used any longer and they are replaced by Italian wordsFrench military terms have disappeared from the English languagemany words once common are now only in historical use and their places have been taken by the newly-borrowed words74.Which of the following is not the French word borrowed into English during the Middle Ages?A.sergeantB.battleC.spyD.fight75.The writer takes the words“battle”and“fight”as an example to show______.官方网址: French words are needed to express something newa French and a native word for the same thing have been still in common use side by side French word or the other has been lost from the English language“battle”is the borrowed word and“fight”is the native onePassage Four“Fingers were made before forks”when a person gives up good manners,puts aside knife and fork,and dives into his food,someone is likely to repeat that saying.The fork was an ancient agricultural tool,but for centuries no one thought of eating with it.Not until the eleventh century,when a young lady from Constantinople brought her fork to Italy,did the custom reach Europe.By the fifteenth century the use of the fork was widespread in Italy.The English explanation was that Italians were averse to eating food touched with fingers,“Seeing all men’s fingers are not alike clean.”English travellers kept their friends in stitches while describing this ridiculous Italian custom.Anyone who used a fork to eat with was laughed at in England for the next hundred years.Men who used forks were thought to be sissies,and women who used them were called show-offs and overnice.Not until the late1600’s did using a fork become a common custom.76.The custom of eating with a fork was_______.A.brought to Europe from AmericaB.begun when forks were inventedC.brought to Europe from AsiaD.invented by Italians77.By the fifteenth century forks were used_______.A.all over ItalyB.only in ConstantinopleC.widely in EuropeD.In England官方网址:78.To English travellers in Italy,the use of forks seemed_______.A.cleverB.necessaryC.good mannerD.ridiculous79.The English thought that Italians used forks in order to________.A.imitate the people of the EastB.keep their food cleanC.impress visitors with their good mannersD.amuse the English80.In England,people who used forks at that time were considered______.A.well manneredB.sissiesC.show-offs and overniceD.both B and CⅤ.Writing(20points)Directions:For this part,you are allowed20minutes to write a short composition of about80words on the

The mountain is 1,000 feet _______ the sea level.For several weeks Mrs. Edwards hoped, like many of her friends, to be the lucky customer. Unlike her friends, she never gave up hoping. The cupboards in kitchen were full of things which she did not need. Her husband tried to advise her against buying things but failed. She dreamed of the day when the manager of the supermarket would approach her and say: “Madam, this is Your Lucky Day. Everything in your basket is free.”One Friday morning, after she had finished her shopping and had taken it to her car, she found that she had forgotten to buy any tea. She dashed back to the supermarket, got the tea and went towards the cash-desk. As she did so, sh e saw the manager of the supermarket approach her. “Madam,” he said, holding out his hand, “I want to congratulate you!

Mrs. Edwards must have been ________.A. pleasedB. delightedC. proudD. disappointedPassage TwoDeep inside a mountain near Sweetwater in East. Tennessee is a body of water known as the Lost Sea. It is listed by the Guinness Book of Would Records as the world’s largest underground lake. The Lost Sea is part of an extensive and historic cave system called Craighead Caverns.The caverns have been known and used since the days of the Cherokee Indian nation. The cave expands into a series of huge rooms from a small opening on the side of the mountain. Approximately one mile from the entrance, in a room called “The Council Room,” many Indian artisfacts have been found. Some of the items discovered include pottery, arrowheads, weapons, and jewelry.For many years there were persistent rumors of a large underground lake somewhere in a cave, but it was not discovered until 1905. In that year, a thirteen-year-old boy named Ben Sands crawled through a small opening three hundred feet underground. He found himself in a large cave half filled with water.Today tourists visit the Lost Sea and ride far out onto it in glass-bottomed boats powered by electric motors. More than thirteen acres of water have been mapped out so far and still no end to the lake has been found. Even though teams of divers have tried to explore the Lost Sea, the full extent of it is still unknown.66. The Lost Sea is unique because it is ________.part of a historical cave systemthe biggest underground lake in the worldlisted in the Guinness Book of World Recordsthe largest body of water in Tennessee67.

Many old Indian objects.70. It can be inferred from the passage that the Craighead Caverns presently serve as ____.A. an underground testing siteB. an Indian meeting groundC. a tourist attractionD. a motor boat race coursePassage ThreeGenerations of Americans have been brought up to believe that a good breakfast is one life’s essentials. Eating breakfast at the start of the day, we have all been told, and told again, is as necessary as putting gasoline in the family car before starting a trip.But for many people the thought of food first thing in the morning is by no means a pleasure. So despite all the efforts, they still take no breakfast. Between 1977 and 1983, the latest year for which figures are available, the number of people who didn’t have breakfast, increased by 33 percent.For those who feel pain of guilt about not eating breakfast, however, there is some good news. Several studies in the last few years indicate that, for adults especially, there may be nothing wrong with omitting breakf ast. “Going without breakfast does not affect performance,” said Arrold E. Bender, former professor of the nutrition at Queen Elizabeth College in London, “nor does giving people breakfast improve performance.”Scientific evidence linking breakfast to better health or better performance is surprisingly inadequate, and most of the recent work involves children, not adults, “The literature”, says one researcher, Dr. Erresto at the University of Texas,“is poor”.71. The latest year for which figures could be obtained is _______.A. the year the author wrote the articleB. 1977C. any year between 1997 and 1983D. 198372. For those who do not take breakfast, the good news is that _______.several studies have been done in the past few yearsthe o mission of breakfast does no harm to one’s healthadults have especially made studies in this fieldeating little in the morning is good for health73. “…nor does giving people breakfast improve performance” means ______.anyone without breakfast does improve his performancenot giving people breakfast improve performancehaving breakfast does not improve performance, eitherpeople having breakfast do improve their performance74. The word “literature” in the last sentence refers to _______.A. stories, poems, plays, etc.B. written works on a particular subjectC. any printed materialD. the modern literature of America75. What is implied but NOT stated by the author is that _______.breakfast does not affect performanceDr. Erresto is engaged in research work at an institution of higher learningnot eating breakfast might affect the health of childrenProfessor Bender once taught college courses in nutrition in LondonPassage FourAbout 35% of all high school graduates in America continue their education in an institution of higher learning. The word college is used to refer to either a college or a university. These institutions offer four-year programs that lead to a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) or Bachelor Science (B.S.) degree. Some students attend a junior college (providing only atwo-year program) for one to two years before entering a four-year college as a sophomore (二年级生) or junior (三年级生).It is generally easier to be accepted at a state university than at a private one. Most private schools require strict entrance examinations and a high grade point average (GPA), as well as specific college prep classes in high school. Private schools cost considerably more than state colleges and famous private schools are very expensive. Poorer students can sometimes attend, however, by earning scholarships. Some college graduates go on to earn advanced masters or doctoral degrees in grad (graduate) school. Occupations in certain fields such as law or medicine require such advanced studies.Since college costs are very high, most students work at part-time jobs. Some have full-time jobs and go to school part-time. Often some will take five or more years to complete a four-year program because of money / job demands on their time.While th e college and work demands take up the great part of a student’s time, most still enjoy social activities. Sports, dances, clubs, movies, and plays are all very popular. However, gathering together for long, philosophical talks ata favorite meeting place on or near the university is probably the most popular activity.76. College education is _______ in America.A. quite commonB. very rareC. something difficultD. almost impossible77. Which of the following is NOT required for entering most private schools.A. entrance examinationsB. taking part in many activitiesC. GPAD. college prep classes78. How can poor students attend private schools?A. Only by working at part-time jobs.B. Only by working at full-time jobs.C. Only by earning scholarships.D. All of above.79. The American college students like to _______ most of all.A. discuss problems on philosophyB. play ballsC. earn enough moneyD. go to the cinemas or theatres80.

Reading Comprehension (60 points)Directions:There are four reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by five questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose one best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneIn ancient times wealth was measured and exchanged in things that could be touched: food, tools, and precious metals and stones. Then the barter system was replaced by coins, which still had real value since they were pieces of rare metal. Coins were followed by fiat money, paper notes that have value only because everyone agrees to accept them.Today electronic monetary systems are gradually being introduced that will transform money into even less tangible forms, reducing it to a series of “bits and bytes”, or units of computerized information, going between machines at the speed of light. Already, electronic fund transfer allows money to be instantly sent and received by different banks, companies, and countries through computers and telecommunications devices.61. Which of the following would be the most appropriate title for the passage?A. International Banking PoliciesB. The History of Monetary ExchangeC. The Development of Paper CurrenciesD. Current Problems in the Economy62. According to the passage, which of the following was the earliest kind of exchange of wealth?A. Bartered foodsB. Fiat moneyC. Coin currencyD. Intangible forms63. The author mentions food, tools and precious metals and stones together because they are all ________.A. useful itemsB. articles of valueC. difficult things to obtainD. material objects64. According to the passage, coins once had real value as currency because they ______.represented a great improvement over barterpermitted easy transportation of wealthwere made of precious metalscould become collector’s items65. Which of the following statements about computerized monetary systems is NOT supported by the passage?They promote international trade.They allow very rapid money transfers.They are still limited to small transactions (交易).They are dependent on good telecommunications systems.Passage TwoAt the University of Kansas art museum, scientists tested the effect of different colored walls on two groups of visitors to an exhibit of paintings. For the first group the room was painted white; for the second, dark brown. Movement of each group was followed by an electrical equipment under the carpet. The experiment showed that those who entered the dark brown walked more quickly, covered more area, and spent less time in the room than people in the white one. Dark brown made people more active, but the activity ended sooner. Not only the choice of colors but also the general appearance of a room affects those inside. Another experiment presented people with photographs of faces whose energy was to be commented. Three groups of people were used; each was shown the same photos, but each group was in an ordinary room—a nice office. The third was in a tastefully designed living room with carpeting. Results showed that the people in the beautiful room tend to give higher marks to the faces than those in the ugly room did. Other studies that students do better on tests taken in comfortable room than in ordinary-looking or ugly rooms.66. Which of the following is the best expression of the main idea of this passage?People in beautiful rooms tend to give higher marks to photos of faces than people in ugly roomsThe color and general appearance of a room have a deeper effect on the behavior of the people in itThe University of Kansas has studied the effects of the color of room on people’s behaviorBeautifully furnished, light-coloured rooms make people more comfortable than ugly, dark rooms67. According to the passage, we may conclude that the whiter a room is ________.A. the longer people like to stay in itB. the sooner people in it will leaveC. the more active people in it will becomeD. the more excited people68. What is referred to as the “general appearance” in this passage is ________.how many broad windows a room has, through which sunlight might come inthe size of a roomwhether there are beautiful walls in a roomwhat the room looks like69. This passage provides us with _______.A. a piece of scientific informationB. a normal lessonC. an interesting testD. a piece of news70. At least how many tests were carried out by the scientists referred to in this passage?A. ThreeB. TwoC. Only oneD. No one knowsPassage ThreeThe water we drink and use is running short in the world. We all have to learn how to stop wasting our limited water. One of the steps we should take is to find ways of reusing it. Experiments have already been done in this field.Today in most large cities, fresh water is used only once, then it runs into waste system. But it is possible to pipe the used water to a purifying factory. There it can be filtered and treated with chemicals so that it can be used again, just as it were fresh from a spring.But even if every large city purified and reused its water, we still would not have enough. Then we could turn to the oceans. All we’d have to do to make use of the seawater on earth is to get rid of the salt. This process is called desalinization, and it is already in use in many parts of the world.71. The way to stop wasting our limited water is to ________.A. do experiments with waterB. purify the used water and reuse itC. use fresh water once againD. make use of seawater72. The following tells us how to reuse the used water. Which is the right order of the passage?。

Reading Comprehension (60 points)Directions:There are four reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by five questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose one best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneIn the old days, divers used to go down into the sea looking for ships that had sunk, because they hoped to find gold and jewels. Now divers still search for valuable things in sunken ships, but they also try to bring to the surface the ships themselves, or parts of them. The value of different kinds of metals has increased greatly over the last twenty or thirty years and even though a ship has been under the sea for many years, it may be worth a great deal.One famous sunken ship is the “Lusitania”, which sank off the southern coast of Ireland in 1915 with a loss of nearly, 1,500 lives. It has four huge propellers made of an expensive metal. Today each of those propellers is worth $ 300,000 or more. The ship lying on the sea-bed has been brought by a man called John Light. He paid about $ 1,200,000 for the whole ship. He hopes to bring up those propellers and sell them. He also hopes to sell other parts of the ship, when he has brought them to the surface, for about $ 600,000.61. Divers today try to bring to the surface _______.A. gold and jewelsB. parts of shipsC. whole shipsD. all of the above62. Diver try to bring up metals because ________.they have been in the sea for a long timegold and jewels are not valuable thingssome kinds of metals are worth a lot of moneyit is easy to bring up metals63. The word “surface” in the passage means the ______.A. marketB. airC. top of a liquidD. sea64. John Light hopes that he may be able to sell all the parts of the “Lusitania” for about _____.A. $12,000B. $300,000C. $1,200,000D. $1,800,00065. John Light bought the “Lusitania” _______.A. before 1915B. before it sankC. after it sankD. after they had brought up the propellersPassage TwoMan’s first real invention, and one of the most important inventions in history, was the wheel. All transportation and every machine in the world depend on it. The wheel is the simplest yet perhaps the most remarkable of all inventions, because there are no wheels in nature—no living thing was ever created with wheels. How, then, did man come to invent the wheel? Perhaps some early hunters found that they could roll the carcass of a heavy animal through the forest on logs more easily than they could carry it. However, the logs themselves weighed a lot.It must have taken a great prehistoric thinker to imagine two thin slices of log connected, at their centers by a string stick. This would roll along just as the logs did, yet be much lighter and easier to handle. Thus the wheel and axle came into being and with them the first carts.66. The wheel is important because _______.A. it was man’s first real inventionB. all transportation depends on itC. every machine depends on itD. both B and C67. The wheel is called _______.A. simpleB. complicatedC. strangeD. unusual68. It was remarkable of man to invent the wheel because _______.A. it led to many other inventionsB. man had no use for it thenC. there were no wheels in natureD. all of the above69. The wheel was probably invented by ______.A. a group of early huntersB. the first men on earthC. a great prehistoric thinkerD. the man who made the first cart70. This selection says that the first wheel may have been a ______.A. round piece of stoneB. heavy logC. piece of metalD. slice of logPassage ThreeEating in space is different from eating on earth. The food that astronauts carry with them does not look like the food you eat. Some food is carried in closed bags. It is cooked and frozen before the astronauts get it. All the water is removed from the food. In the spaceship the astronaut puts the water back. He “shoots” hot or cold water into the food bag with a special gun. He eats the food through a small hole in the bag.Other foods come in bite sizes. The astronaut puts a whole piece in his mouth at once. There an be no crambs. Crambs would float around the spaceship and get in the way. Meat and cake often come in bite-sized pieces. Astr onauts can’t drink water from open cups. The water would float in drops in the air. The water is put in the special gun. The astronaut shoots the water into his mouth. Eating in space is not easy. Astronauts must learn to eat this way.71. Some space foods are carried in _______.A. water gunsB. lunch boxesC. closed bagsD. crumbs72. The story does not say this, but from what we have read, we can tell that ______.you get much hungrier in space than you doyou can’t have water to drink in a spa ceshipastronauts must learn many new and different thingsyou can’t eat anything in a spaceship73. Why can’t astronauts drink water from cups?The water would come from the open cups.The water would spill all over their food.Crambs would float in the cups.The cups would float in the air.74. The main idea of the whole story is that _______.there is more food and water in space than on eartheating and drinking in space is a special problemastronauts can never eat or drink in a spaceshipthere is no food or water in a spaceship75. Which of the following does the story lead you to believe?Food for astronauts must be made in a special way.All meat on earth comes in bite-sized pieces.Astronauts will only eat cakes made from crambs.Astronauts have to go hungry in a spaceship.Passage FourThe energy which the sun radiates goes in every direction, and only a minute part of it falls on the earth. Even so, it represents power of about 5,000,000 horsepower (马力) per square mile per day; the sun gives us as much energy every miunte as mankind utilizes in a year. At present, we use this energy indirectly, and it is our final source of power. Coal represents the chemical action of the sun on green plants thousands of years ago. Water power results from the rain formed by vapor which comes from the evaporation of water under the sunshine. Even windmills operate because of air currents set in motion by the different heating affects of the sun in different places. Some day, through chemistry or some type of solar engine, we shall harness this great source of energy more directly. Already a scientist has worked out an engine, surprisingly efficient, in which the sun’s rays are concentrated through mirrors on a tube of water to create steam.76. How much energy given off by the sun reaches the earth?A. 100% but indirectly.B. 5%.C. 50%.D. only a very tiny amount.77. The reason why all the solar energy falling on the earth can’t be utilized is that ______.only a very small part is available the sun is too distant from the earth it takes thousands of years for this energy to be stored up in coal and oil our scientific knowledge is not sufficient78. Which of the following statements is NOT true?Even windmill’s action depends on the sun.The sun produces enormous energy for man to make use of.Some day man will be able to utilize 100% of the solar energy that gets to the earth.The sun produces different heating effects in different places.79. In order to support this argument, the writer gives the example that _______.a machine using solar energy efficiently has already been developedthe sun is our final source of powerman uses only a tiny part of the sun’s energythe part of the sun’s energy we use is used indirectly80. This passage centers mainly on ________.harnessing energy through chemistryour last source of powerhow water power is producedthe amount of solar energy that can be utilizedⅤ.

We should fully carry out the principle “to each according to his work” so that the enthusiasm of both men and women for work can be fully aroused.。

A. facilities B. communities C. organizations D. communicationsPart Ⅲ: Reading Comprehension (20×2%=40%)Directions: There are four passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Read each passage carefully and decide on the best choice.(1)Computer people talk a lot about the need for other people to become “computer-literate”, in other words, to learn to understand computers and what makes them tick. Not all experts agree, however, that is a good idea.One pioneer, in particular, who disagrees, is David Tebbutt, the founder of Computertown UK. Although many people see this as a successful attempt to bring people closer to the computer, David does not see it that way. He says that Computertown UK was formed for just the opposite reason, to bring computers to the people and make them “people-literate”.David first got the idea when he visited one of America’s best-known computer “guru”figure, Bob Albrecht，in the small university town of Palo Alto in Northern California. Albrecht had started a project called Computertown USA in the local library, and the local children used to call round every Wednesday to borrow some time on the computers there, instead of borrowing library books. Albrecht was always on hand to answer any questions and to help the children discover about computers in their own way.Over here, in Britain，Computertowns have taken off in a big way，and there are now about 40 scattered over the country. David Tebbutt thinks they are most successful when tied to a computer club. He insists there is a vast and important difference between the two, although they complement each other. The clubs cater for the enthusiasts, with some computer knowledge already, who get together and eventually form an expert computer group. This frightens away non-experts, who are happier going to Computertowns where there are computers available for them to experiment on, with experts available to encourage them and answer any questions; they are not told what to do, they find out.David Tebbutt finds it interesting to see the two different approaches working side by side. The computer experts have to learn not to tell people about computers, but have to be able to explain the answers to the questions that people really want to know. In some Computertowns there are question sessions, rather like radio phone-ins, where the experts listen to a lot of questions and then try to work out some structure to answer them. People are not having to learn computer jargons, but the experts are having to translate computer mysteries into easily understood terms; the computers are becoming “people-literate”.61. According to David Tebbutt, the purpose of Computertown UK is to ______.( )A. train people to understand how computers workB. make more computers available to peopleC. enable more people to fix computers themselvesD. help people find out more about computers62. What does “people-literate”most probably mean?( )A. Being able to understand computers.B. Knowing the answers to the questions people have about computers.C. Being easy for people to understand and use.D. Being ready to teach people about computers.63. We learn from the passage that Computertown USA was a ______.( )A. townB. projectC. libraryD. school64. Which of the following statements is INCORRECT?( )A. Computertowns in the UK have become popular.B. Computertowns and clubs cater for different people.C. Computertowns are more successful than clubs.D. It’s better that computertowns and clubs work together.65. Which of the following is NOT an advantage of computertowns?( )A. Experts give lectures and talks on computers.B. Experts are on hand to answer people’s questions.C. People are left to discover computers on their own.D. There are computers around for people to practise on.(2)I had an experience some years ago which taught me something about the ways in which people make a bad situation worse by blaming themselves. One January, I had to officiate(主持) at two funerals on successive days for two elderly women in my community. Both had died “full of years,”as the Bible would say; both yielded to the normal wearing out of the body after a long and full life. Their homes happened to be near each other, so I paid condolence (吊唁) calls on the two families on the same afternoon.At the first home, the son of the deceased (已故的) woman said to me, “If only I had sent my mother to Florida and gotten her out of this cold and snow, she would be alive today. It’s my fault that she died.”At the second home, the son of the other deceased woman said, “If only I hadn’t insisted on my mother’s going to Florida, she would be alive today. That long airplane ride, the abrupt change of climate, was more than she could take. It’s my fault that she’s dead.”When things don’t turn out as we would like them to, it is very tempting to assume that had we done things differently, the story would have had a happier ending. Priests know that any time there is a death, the survivors will feel guilty. Because the course of action they took turned out badly, they believe that the opposite course-keeping Mother at home, postponing the operation —would have turned out better. After all, how could it have turned out any worse?There seem to be two elements involved in our readiness to feel guilt. The first is our pressing need to believe that the world makes sense, that there is a cause for every effect and a reason for everything that happens. That leads us to find patterns and connections both where they really exist and where they exist onlyin our minds.The second element is the notion that we are the cause of what happens, especially the bad things that happen. It seems to be a short step from believing that every event has a cause to believing that every disaster is our fault. The roots of this feeling may lie in our childhood. Psychologists speak of the infantile myth of omnipotence (万能). A baby comes to think that the world exists to meet his needs, and that he makes everything happen in it. He wakes up in the morning and summons the rest of the world to its tasks. He cries, and someone comes to attend to him. When he is hungry, people feed him, and when he is wet, people change him. Very often, we do not completely outgrow that infantile notion that our wishes cause things to happen.66. What is said about the two deceased elderly women?( )A. They lived out a natural life.B.

In the context of the passage, “... the world makes sense”(Line 2, Para, 4) probably means that ______.( )A. we have to be sensible in order to understand the worldB. everything in the world is predeterminedC. there’s an explanation for everything in the worldD. the world can be interpreted in different ways70. People have been made to believe since infancy that ______.( )A. every story should have a happy endingB. their wishes are the cause of everything that happensC. life and death is an unsolved mysteryD. everybody is at their command(3)Londoners are great readers. They buy vast numbers of newspapers and magazines and even of books—especially paperbacks, which are still comparatively cheap in spite of ever-increasing rises in the costs of printing. They still continue to buy “proper”books, too, printed on good paper and bound between hard covers.There are many streets in London containing shops which specialize in book-selling. Perhaps the best known of these is Charing Cross Road in the very heart of London. Here bookshops of all sorts and sizes are to be found, from the celebrated one which boasts of being “the biggest bookshop in the world”to the tiny dusty little places which seem to have been left over from Dickens’ time. Some of these shops stock, or will obtain, any kind of book, but many of them specialize in second-hand books, in art books, in foreign books, in books on philosophy, politics or any other of the numberless subjects about which books may be written. One shop in this area specializes solely in books about ballet!Although it may be the most convenient place for Londoners to buy books, Charing Cross Road is not the cheapest. For the really cheap second-hand volume, the collectors must venture off the beaten track, to Farringdon Road, for example, in the East Central district of London. Here there is nothing so grandiose(壮观的) as bookshops. Instead, the booksellers come along each morning and tip out their sacks of books on to small barrows which line the gutters. And the collectors, some professional and some amateur, who have been waiting for them, plunge upon the dusty cascade. In places like this one can still, occasionally, pick up for a few pence an old volume that may be worth many pounds.Both Charing Cross Road and Farringdon Road are well-known haunts of the book buyer. Yet all over London there are bookshops, in places not so well known, where the wares are equally varied and exciting. It is in the sympathetic atmosphere of such shops that the ardent book buyer feels most at home. In these shops, even the lifelong book-browser is frequently rewarded by the accidental discovery of previously unknown delights. One could, in fact, easily spend a lifetime exploring London’s bookshops. There are many less pleasant ways of spending time!71. In the bookshops of Charing Cross Road you can get______.( )A. new books of any kindB. tiny dusty booksC. second-hand books on various subjectsD. both A and C72. The book-browser ______.

This passage tells us that ______.( )A. Londoners have plenty of time to read booksB. Londoners are rich enough to buy various booksC. Londoners enjoy collecting and reading booksD. Londoners prefer second-hand books.75. Where in London can a book collector most likely get a valuable book at a good price?( )A. Charing Cross RoadB. Farringdon RoadC. Bookstores all over LondonD. No place in London(4)Most English holidays have a religious origin. Easter is originally the day to commemorate(纪念) the Resurrection(复活) of Jesus Christ. But now for most people, Easter is a secular spring holiday, when everyone hopes to enjoy fine weather, when the days are lengthening fast, when trees are already in bud and leaf, and spring flowers appear, the most welcome of the year ——violets and primroses, daffodils and narcissi. For children, Easter means, more than anything else, Easter eggs or chocolate eggs!Real, natural eggs do not belong of course to single season of the year. They are eaten all the year round (Duck eggs are a rarity in England, and the eggs of smaller birds are rarer still, a luxury for the very rich and privileged). Eggs are everyday food ——inexpensive, nutritious, and especially good for breakfast. Their association with spring, when hens begin to lay after the winter, is older than the manufacture of chocolate eggs. In some places, real eggs are used in an Easter game called “eggrolling.”They are first hardboiled and then given to competitors to roll down a slope. The winner is the person whose egg gets to the bottom first. In some families, the breakfast eggs on Easter Sunday morning are boiled in several pans, each containing a different vegetable dye, so that when they are served the shells are no longer white or pale brown in color, but yellow or pink, blue or green. The dyes do not penetrate the shell of course.Most British children would be very disappointed if these were the only eggs they had at Easter. Chocolate Easter eggs are displayed in confectioners’(糖果店) shops as soon as Christmas is over. The smallest and simplest are inexpensive enough for children to buy with pocket money. These are of two sorts. Very small ones, perhaps a little longer than an inch in length, are coated thinly with chocolate on the outside and filled with a sweet, soft paste, called fondant. They are wrapped in colored foil in a variety of patterns. Slightly larger eggs, a little bigger, as a rule, than a duck’s egg, are hollow. There is nothing inside at all ——just a wrapped chocolate shell. You break the shell and eat the jagged, irregular pieces.76. Easter is originally the day to ______.( )A. mark the beginning of the springB. remember the rebirth of Jesus ChristC. sell chocolate eggsD. be enjoyed only by British children77. You cannot eat ______ all the year round.( )A. real natural eggsB. duck eggsC. the eggs of smaller birdsD. Both A and C78. How do the Easter eggs become colorful?( )A.

Confectionery begins to sell Easter sweets ______.( )A. when Easter startsB. as soon as Christmas is overC. in springD. all the year round80. What do the jagged pieces refer to?( )A. They refer to the chocolate shells of large eggs.B. They refer to the duck eggs.C. They refer to the sweet, soft pastes.D. They refer to varieties of patterns.Part Ⅳ: Translation (15%)Section A (2×3%=6%)Directions: Translate the two underlined sentences in the second passage into Chinese.81.

Reading Comprehension (60 points) Directions: There are four reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by five questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose one best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage One In ancient times wealth was measured and exchanged in things that could be touched: food, tools, and precious metals and stones. Then the barter system was replaced by coins, which still had real value since they were pieces of rare metal. Coins were followed by fiat money, paper notes that have value only because everyone agrees to accept them. Today electronic monetary systems are gradually being introduced that will transform money into even less tangible forms, reducing it to a series of “bits and bytes”, or units of computerized information, going between machines at the speed of light. Already, electronic fund transfer allows money to be instantly sent and received by different banks, companies, and countries through computers and telecommunications devices. 61.
