Choose the one that is most suitable and write your answer on Answer Sheet I.Most dictionaries will tell you a number of ( 41 ) about a language. There are three things in particular that ( 42 ) important. These three things are spelling, pronunciation, and meanings.The first and most obvious thing is that a dictionary will ( 43 ) you the spelling of a word. If you’re not sure about the spelling of a word, you can try to find the correct spelling in a dictionary. Words are listed in alphabetical order—a, b, c, and so on. For example, on a dictionary page the word “poor”—p, o, o, r—comes before “poverty”—p, o, v, e, r, t, y and the word “poverty” comes (44 ) the word “power”—p, o, w, e, r. The words are always given in alphabetical order.The second thing a dictionary will tell you is ( 45 ) . Most dictionaries give the pronunciation of a word in a special kind of alphabet. This special alphabet is called a phonetic, or sound alphabet. The phonetic spelling will tell you generally ( 46 ) a word is pronounced. There are a few different phonetic alphabets. Many dictionaries use the International Phonetic Alphabet to show pronunciation.The ( 47 ) thing a dictionary will tell you is the meanings of words. You can ( 48 )a word and find out what it means. Many words have more than one meaning, and a good dictionary will explain all of the word’s meanings. For example, in English the common word “get” has over 20 different meanings. The meaning, of course, ( 49 ) the sentence in which the word is used.These three things—spelling, pronunciation, and meanings—are some of the important ( 50 ) that you learn from dictionaries.41. A. thing B. people C. things D. books42. A. is B. were C. was D. are45. A. say B. tell C. give D. speak44. A. before B. after C. in front of D. behind45.

A. depend B. depends on C. depend on D. is depending50. A. façade B. facts C. faces D. factPart IV Reading ComprehensionDirections: There are four reading passages in this part. Each passage is following by five questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer and write the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet I.Passage OneThere is an English saying, “Laughter is the best medicine.” Until recently, few people took the saying seriously. Now, however, doctors have begun to look into laughter and the defects it has on the human body. They have found that laughter really can improve people’s health.Tests were carried out to study the effects of laughter on the body. People watched funny films while doctors checked their heart, blood pressure, breathing and muscles. It was found that laughter has similar effects to physical exercise. It increases blood pressure, the heart beating and breathing; it also works several groups of muscles in the face, the stomach, and even the feet. If laughter exercises the body, it must be beneficial.Other tests have shown that laughter appears to be able to reduce the effect of pain on the body. In one experiment doctors produced pain in groups of students who listened to different radio programs. The group that tolerated the pain for the longest time was the group which listened to a funny program. The reason why laughter can reduce pain seems to be that it helps to produce a kind of chemicals in the brain which diminish both stress and pain.As a result of these discoveries, some doctors in the United States now hold laughter clinics, in which they help to improve their patients’ condition by encouraging them to laugh. They have found that even if their patients do not really feel like laughing, making them smile is enough to produce beneficial effects similar to those caused by laughter.51. Doctors have proved the following EXCEPT that _________.A. smiling does good to healthB. laughter can be toleratedC. there is a way to reduce painD. laughter can work the muscles in the feet52. The main idea of the passage is ________.A. laughter and physical exercise have similar effects on the human bodyB. smile can produce the same effects as laughterC. pain can be reduced by laughterD. laughter is best medicine53. The students who __________ tolerated the pain for the longest time.A. listened to different radio programsB. could produce a kind of chemicalsC. don’t have stress or painD. listened to a funny program54. The underlined word “diminish” is similar to ___________.A. testB. stopC. reduceD. increase55. Doctors hold laughter clinics __________.A. to give better condition to their patientsB. in order to improve patients’ healthC. to make patients smileD. to prove smile and laughter have the same effectPassage TwoThis is News on the Hour, Ed Wilson reporting. The President and First Lady will visit Africa on a goodwill tour in May. They plan to visit eight African countries.Reports from China say the Chinese want closer ties between China and the U.S. and Western Europe. A group of Chinese scientists will start its ten-nation tour next month.Here in Miami, the mayor is still meeting with the leaders of the teachers’ union to try to find a way to end the strike. City schools are still closed after two weeks.In news about health, scientists in California report findings of a relationship between the drinking of coffee and the increase of heart disease among women. According to the report in the American Medical Journal (=magazine), the five-year study shows this: Women who drink more than two cups of coffee a day have a greater chance of having heart disease than women who do not.In sports the Chargers lost again last night.

Here is some information about making international phone calls.You can now phone almost any country in the world, although in some cases you can only call major cities. When you cannot make direct dialing calls, you can ask the international operator to help you. This is more expensive and takes more time, but it may be helpful if you want to speak to a particular person and no one else; in this case you should ask for a “person-to-person”call. Even more expensive is a reverse charge(对方付款) call when the person who receives the call pays.If the international line is busy, you can reserve a call; explain the number you want and the operator will call you back when the line is free.You can save money by calling outside office hours, e.g. early in the morning, late at night, and on Sundays.Remember that the time may be different in the country you are calling. International time is based on GMT (Greenwich Mean Time); London is on GMT and Moscow, for example, 3 hours ahead.There is one problem: change to DST (Daylight Saving Time) for the summer. In the UK, clocks are put forward one hour in spring and put back in autumn, and so London is actually one hour ahead of GMT in the summer.You can use your Business Telecard International for domestic calls as well, but there will be an additional charge over the standard rate.61. What is the most expensive type of call?A. Direct dial.B. Through the operator.C. Reverse charge call.D. Outside office hours.62. What can you do if the international line is engaged?A. Book a call.B. Make a “person-to-person” call.C. Call back outside office hours.D. Keep on calling.63. When is it cheaper to make an international call?A. 10 A.m.B. 5 p.m.C. 11 p.m.D. 11 A.m.64. How many hours is Moscow ahead of London during the summer?A. 2B. 3C. 4D. 565. If you want to make a cheaper daytime call, you should __________.A. call on MondayB. ask the operator to pay some moneyC. keep waitingD. phone on a SundayPassage FourThere was once a man who spent all his time in his glasshouse. Flowers was his name, and flowers were his main joy in life. He grew flowers of every color under the sun. He grew these flowers in order to enter them for competition. His greatest hope in life was to grow a rose of an entirely new color that would win him the silver cup for the Rose of the Year.Mr. Flowers’glasshouse was close to a public path, which was always used by children walking to and from school. Boys were often attracted to throw a stone or two at his glasshouse. So Mr. Flowers did his best to be in or close by his glasshouse at the beginning and end of the school day.However, it was not convenient or possible to be on guard all the time. Mr. Flowers had tried in many ways to prevent harm to his glass; but nothing that he had done had been successful.Then, just as he was giving up hope of ever winning the battle, and of growing the Rose of the Year, he had a truly wonderful idea. He put up a large notice made of good, strong wood, some metres away from the glasshouse, where it could be clearly seen from the path. He had painted on the board the words: DO NOT THROW STONES AT THIS NOTICE. After this, Mr. Flowers had no further trouble. The boys were much more attracted to throw stones at the notice than at the glasshouse.66. Mr. Flowers’ great hope is _________.A. to grow beautiful flowersB. to grow the Rose of the Year and win a prizeC. to grow all kinds of flowers in the worldD. to take part in the competition67. The boys often used to throw a stone or two at the glasshouse because ___________.A. they hated Mr. FlowersB. they only wanted to play a joke on Mr. FlowersC. Mr. Flowers didn’t let them watch flowersD. they were naughty68. Mr. Flowers had no way to prevent harm to his glasshouse because _________.A. he was too old to see who did itB. the boys ran too fast for him to catchC. it was impossible for him to be on guard all the timeD. he was too kind to beat the boys69. He put up a large notice made of good strong wood in order ___________.A. to tell the children not to throw stones at the noticeB. to warn the boys not to throw stonesC. to attract the boys to throw stones at the noticeD. to warn them whoever threw stones would be punished70. The boys threw stones at Mr. Flowers’ notice because ___________.A. they wanted to do what they were told not to doB. the notice was closer to the pathC. they hated to see the noticeD. the notice was in the wayPart IV. Translate the following sentence into Chinese.E-C71. Few of us realize how much we need encouragement. Yet we must bask in the warmth of approval now and then or lose our self-confidence.72. When we are proud of our self-image, we feel confident and free to be ourselves. We functionat our best. When we are ashamed of our self-image, we attempt to hide it rather than express it. We become hostile and hard to get along with.73. Contrary to what you may think, the hardest part of living abroad isn’t finding a place to stay or learning the language. It’s how to cope with the culture shock.74. The very first two Chinese characters he taught me to write were the characters in the word For “population”, renkou.75. As I came to know more about China and Chinese people over the next few years, I found that his observation was indeed accurate; Chinese people not only think a lot about food, they are virtually obsessed with it.76. Studies have shown that reducing stress in daily life significantly reduces the risk of heartattacks or the need for heart surgery.77. Reading and answering my email at work and later at home each day may keep me betterinformed, but it also takes away the precious time I used to spend reading a book or visiting friends.78. While this surge has been blamed on many factors, including a declining emphasis on moral values in the home and school, without question it’s never been easier to cheat.79. Many intelligent people equate happiness with fun. The truth is that fun and happiness have little or nothing in common. Fun is what we experience during an art. Happiness is what we experience after the art. It is a deeper, more abiding emotion.80. Coming home after a hard day’s work, the man who sees the faces of his children pressedagainst the window, watching for him, can water his soul with their silent but golden opinion.B.
