For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D.Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a singleline through the center.Passage OneMany people consider switching from homeschooling to traditional schooling as a student grows older, for reasons including more challenging content, social and athletic opportunities, and growth and independence.For the special needs child, the reverse often occurs. It is at home that the student can be appropriately challenged and can become an independent learner. This is for a number of reasons: First, challenges often become more troublesome, and often students are deprived of academic opportunities because they cannot take advantage of the way that learning is being offered. Second, school often simply becomes more competitive. Third, gaps between reading and writing skills and intellectual ability become much more of a problem as students are given reading and writing assignments that may be appropriate for most students - and if not, most students can survive them -- but are overwhelming to the student with dyslexia.Many schools that provide excellent special services to students in elementary school simply don't provide them at upper levels.Other schools don't provide the services students need at all -- but a bright student can compensate for a while. Many the student who has not been taught accurate reading skills has successfully memorized enough words and used his native intelligence and pictures and context to succeed in elementary school; then when a "reading problem" is discovered in middle school, parents are told "it's too late to remediate." It's not.16. According to the passage, which of the following is not mentioned as a benefit of traditionalschooling?A. IndependenceB. Social opportunitiesC. SafetyD. Athletic opportunities17. The special needs child most probably refers to _________ .A. a child with high intelligenceB. a geniusC. a child with ordinary abilityD. a child who needs special help18. ‘Dyslexia’ means _________ .A. reading problemB. sleeping problemC. physical problemD. problem in social interaction19. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to this passage?A. Not all the schools provide the services students need.B. It is too late to remediate a reading problem when it is discovered in middle school.C. A bright student can survive for a while without special help.D. It is easier to succeed in elementary school.20. According to paragraph two, _________ might be better for the special needs child.A. homeschoolingB. traditional schoolingC. more challenging tasksD. more competitive tasksPassage TwoEvery chance she gets, five-year-old Gina visits Grandma Lilly. Gina likes to talk with her grandma and watch her cook. Everything Grandma Lilly makes is delicious, but Gina especially loves the little cookies shaped like teddy bears, dolls, flowers, and hearts.And Grandma Lilly, who enjoys this precious time with her granddaughter, uses the cookies to teach Gina certain things she will need to know as she grows up by helping her to develop the five senses and her imagination. Perhaps the most important lesson Grandma Lilly teaches Gina is that most of the foods and the cookies she prepares taste so delicious because they are made with love.One day Gina’s mother tells her she cannot visit Grandma Lilly because she has become very sick and is in the hospital. Gina begs and cries, but her mother explains that Grandma Lilly is so ill that she is in a very deep sleep and needs her rest. Gina tries to think of something that will help her grandmother and suddenly remembers the cookies. She will bake a batch of them all by herself, and because she will make them with all the love she has in her heart, Grandma Lilly will feel better!Touched by her daughter’s love and determination, Gina’s mother finally agrees to take her to the hospital with her cookies to visit her grandmother. There, Grandma Lilly teaches her little granddaughter another lesson about love that she will be able to pass on to her own children and grandchildren in the years to come.21.

The theme of this passage is _________ .A. the relationship with grandma and granddaughterB. cooking delicious foodC. loveD. visiting grandmaPassage ThreeChina's State Council pledged Monday to further upgrade the funding system for the country's medical institutions in small townships and cities.To ensure low income-earners can afford essential medications, the government will provide additional funding to these hospitals, while improving the funding system.Since August 2009, more than half of China's medical clinics in rural townships and small urban communities have been offering essential medications at low prices thanks to the ongoing healthcare reform, according to a State Council executive meeting presided over by Premier Wen Jiabao.However, some medical institutions were short of funds because of the lowered drug prices.According to the meeting, under the new system the operational expenditure of government-run hospitals and clinics in townships or urban communities would be covered by government subsidies and medical service charges.Also, government authorities were required to allocate enough funds so that medical institutions could purchase basic medical facilities and equipment, while also arranging subsidies for medical staff."Regular channels and ways of funding and subsidizing grassroots medical organizations should be established to ensure their smooth operation and development and the successful implementation of essential medical systems," a statement issued after the meeting said.The statement called for government authorities to offer more subsidies for rural medical practitioners and village-based clinics. Local authorities were also encouraged to support village clinics in terms of construction, equipment purchasing and personnel trainingAppropriate subsidies would also be provided to non-government run grassroots clinics for medical services that are open to the public. The medical insurance scheme would cover those qualified clinics26. ‘Pledge’ means __________ .A. refuseB. promiseC. declineD. declare27. The government will provide additional funding to the hospitals to make essentialmedications available to ___________ .A. people in big citiesB. foreignersC. people with low incomeD. all the citizens28. The State Council executive meeting was _________by Premier Wen Jiabao.A. chairedB. preparedC. offeredD. funded29. Accoding to the passage, _________ is the major means to guanantee the success of thehealthcare reform.A. purchasing basic medical facilitiesB. building more hospitalsC. personnel trainingD. government subsidy30. In this passage, the author is ________ to the ongoing healthcare reform.A. subjectiveB. objectiveC. sarcasticD. cynicalPassage FourWith the possible exception of equal rights, perhaps the most controversial issue across the United States today is the death penalty. Many argue that it is an effective way to stop murder, while others maintain that there is no convincing evidence that death penalty reduces the number of murders.The main argument by those opposed to the death penalty, basically, is that it is a cruel and inhuamn punishment that is the mark of a brutal society, and finally it is questionable whether it is effective to reduce crime anyway.The value of the death penalty as a way to reduce crime may be open to debate. But the overwhelming majority of citizens believe that the death penalty protects them. Their belief is reinforced by evidence which shows that death penalty reduces murder. For example, from 1954 to 1963, when the death penalty was consistently imposed in California, the murder rate remained between three and four murders for each 100,000 population. Since 1964 the death lenalty has been imposed only once, and the murder rate has risen to 10.4 murders for each 100,000 population. This sharp increase in the state’s murder rate, which began when executions stopped, is no coincidence. It is convincing evidence that the death penalty does stop many murderers. If the bill reestablishing the death penalty is vetoed, innocent people will be murdered—some whose lives may have been saved if the death penalty were in effect. This is literally a life or death matter. The lives of thousands of innocent people must be protected.31. ‘Penalty’ means _________ .A. rewardB. punishmentC. managementD. control32. Which of the following is NOT an argument by those opposed to death penalty?A. Death penalty is a cruel punishment.B. Death penalty is an inhuman punishmentC. Death penalty is an effective way to reduce crime.D. Death penalty is a mark of a brutal society.33. The majority of citizens believe that the death penalty is ______ .A. inhuman to all the peopleB. cruel to murderersC. a brutal way of punishmentD. effective to stop murder34. The murder rates from 1954 to 1963 and since 1964 in California are used to show that deathpenalty _________ .A. is effective to reduce murderB. is inffective to reduce murderC. does not influence murder rateD. fails to protect innocent people35. The author of this passage is ________ to the reestablishing of death penalty.A. negativeB. neutralC. positiveD. suspiciousPart III Vocabulary and Structure (20 points)Directions: There are 40 incomplete sentences in this part.

For this was what the notice just inside the entrance promised. It said: “Remember, on ce 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 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, she saw the manager of the supe rmarket approach her. “Madam,” he said, holding out his hand, “I want to congratulate you! You are our lucky customer and everything you have in your basket is free!”61.

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. The Craighead Caverns have been known ________.A. through historyB. since the time of the Indian nationsC. since 1905D. since divers explored them68. Who located the Lost Sea in recent times?A. The Cherokee Indians.B. Tourists.C. Ben Sands.D. Scientists.69. What was found in “The Council Room”?A. A small natural opening.B. A large cave.C. Another series of rooms.D. 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 u p 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 pe rcent.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 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 omission 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 the college and work dem ands 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. The best title for this passage is _______.A. Part-time jobsB. American collegeC. Popular activityD. A new systemⅤ.

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 bet ween 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 Unive rsity 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?。

Why would humans evolve(进化) a21 that puts us at a social disadvantage by 22 us to reveal that we have cheated or lied?Charles Darwin pointed out that 23 all people of all races blush，animals do not. When it came to explaining the reason, he was 24 a loss. That has not stopped others from trying.One 25 is that blushing started out as a way to show we obey authoritative members of the group. Later, as our social interactions became 26 complex, it became involved with higher, self-conscious 27 such as guilt, shame and embarrassment. This would seem to put individuals ata disadvantage，but blushing might actually make a person more 28 or socially desirable.29 that women blush more than men，one university researcher suggests that blushing might have evolved as a way for women to 30 their honesty to men so as to win their support in raising children. Some zoologists also think blushing could have emerged as a way to foster trust. " If you were to go hunting 31 a stone-faced partner，you could never 32 what he wants. “he says.Once blushing became 33 with embarrassment, anyone who did not blush might have been at a disadvantage because we are 34 likely to trust someone who appears never to feel 35 about anything.21.

On Midsummer's Eve, which was a Saturday, Mr. Jones went into Willington and got so drunk at the Red Lion that he did not come back until midday on Sunday. His men had milked the cows in the early morning and then had gone out chatting without bothering to feed the animals. When Mr. Jones got back, he immediately went to sleep on the living-room sofa with the "News of the World" over his face. When evening came, the animals were still not fed. At last, they could stand no longer. One of the cows broke into the door of the storehouse with her horns and all the animals began to help themselves to the grains.It was just then that Mr. Jones woke up. The next moment he and his four men were in the storehouse with whips in their hands，whipping in all directions. This was more than the hungry animals would bear. Together, though nothing of the kind had been planned beforehand，they jumped upon their masters. Mr. Jones and his men suddenly found themselves being struck with the horns and kicked from all sides. The situation was quite out of their control. They had never seen these animals act like this before. This sudden rebellion of the creatures，which they were used to beating and whipping just as they chose，frightened them. After only a moment or two，they gave up trying to defend themselves. A minute later all five of them were in full fright down the road with the animals running after them joyfully.36. The four men did not feed the cows because_______.A. they had not cut the hay yetB. Mr. Jones wasn't at homeC. they did not have time to feed themD. the cows had fed themselves37. The cows broke into the storehouse because______.A. they did not like their mastersB. Mr. Jones forgot to lock the doorC. they were kept in the cow-house too longD. they were too hungry to wait for the feed38. What did the five men finally do with the cows?A. They chased and drove the cows away.B. They continued beating the cows.C. They gave up defense and ran away.D. They gave ·in and fed the cows.39. We can learn from the passage that______.A. the cows often ran out to look for foodB. the cows often had fights with their mastersC. Mr. Jones and his men often beat the cowsD. Mr. Jones and his men often forgot to feed the cowsPassage TwoIt was sunrise on an August morning when the captain and his crew cast their nets some 50 miles south of Louisiana in the Gulf of Mexico. As the net was pulled over, the contents poured out followed by excited cries of "Coins! Coins!" The fishermen quickly realized they had realized a fisherman's dream: sunken treasure! And not just any treasure, but early American silver dollars thathad gone down 210 years earlier.In 1784, at the end of the American Revolutionary War, a heavily armed ship was bound for the port of New Orleans. On board was a fortune in Spanish Silver Dollars. Hundreds of thousands of them were loaded for the trip to New Orleans，yet not a single one arrived. With no survivors from the ill-fated voyage, historians can only guess at what happened. Some say powerful storms took her down while others speculate it was treasure-hungry pirates(海盗). Whatever happened, the secret-along with a treasure valued near $100，000,000 in today' s dollars-was sent to a watery grave some 300 feet below the ocean's surface.Spanish Silver Dollars were the favorite coins of colonial Americans. Widely used and accepted as payment in the thirteen colonies, the United States government gave them the status of official legal tender. Unfortunately, even though they were struck in large quantities, not many of them survive today. After the Civil War, the government withdrew them from circulation and they were melted down.Due to the historic discovery of this treasure, GovMint . com is releasing these coins to the public for an amazingly low price. For a limited time, those authentic silver dollars are priced at $49 plus shipping and handling—a dramatic reduction from the market price of this coin anywhere else worldwide.40. What surprised the fishermen on an August morning?A. Their net contained a big strange-looking fish.B. They found the treasure sunken 210 years ago.C. They found some pieces of a sunken ship in the net.D. Their net suddenly got caught by something deep in the water.41. What happened to the ship heading for New Orleans in 1784?A. Loaded with too much cargo, it hit on the rocks.B. Robbed by pirates , it lost $100,000,000's worth of goods.C. It disappeared but nobody knew exactly what had happened.D. It was caught in a terrible storm and went down into the ocean.42. What do we know about "Spanish Silver Dollars"?A. Today one coin equals to 49 dollars in the world market.B. They were widely used in America after the Civil War.C. Issued in small amounts, not many of them survive.D. They were officially accepted in the 13 colonies.43. In which section of a magazine would you probably find this article?A. Sports.B. Housing.C. History.D. Fashion.Passage ThreeThe environment affects the way people interact. To examine this conclusion, two researchers "decorated" three rooms: One room was refurnished to look ugly. The second room was intended to look average. The third room was designed to be beautiful. Individuals were then asked to sit in one of the three rooms and rate several pictures of people's faces. The results indicated that the environment has a significant effect on the way people rated the faces. Subjects in the beautiful room gave the pictures higher rates than did subjects in the ugly room. In addition, subjects in the ugly room found the task more unpleasant and boring than did subjects in the beautiful room. Subjects assigned to the ugly room attempted to leave sooner than did subjects assigned to the beautiful room.Color is one environmental factor that can affect your mood and even your ability to concentrate. One researcher concluded that the most pleasant colors, listed in order of preference, were blue, green, purple, red and yellow. The colors listed from most to least arousing were red, orange, yellow, violet, blue, and green.Lighting also affects behavior. Elegant restaurants with dim lighting create a mood of intimacy（亲密）that encourages conversation. The bright lights of an office or classroom, on the other hand, arouse and stimulate thinking.Room decoration, color, lighting, and even music and temperature all influence communication with others; but there is no all-purpose environment. The ideal environment depends on the task that will be performed as well as on the needs and expectations of those present. The same environmental factors that encourage lively conversation and dancing at a New Year's Eve party cannot be expected to create a serene climate in which to study for final exams.44. Paragraph 1 shows that subjects in the ugly room tend to be______.A. less patientB. less considerateC. more enthusiasticD. more confident45. Which color is the most helpful for keeping a good mood?A. Green.B. Blue.C. Orange.D. Red.46. What effect can dim lights of an eating environment bring about?A. Arousing active thinking.B. Improving work efficiency.C. Creating a tense atmosphereD. Stimulating talks among people.47. The underlined word "serene" in the last sentence is closest in meaning to______.A. serious and graveB. calm and peacefulC. pleasant and friendlyD. cold and indifferentPassage FourThere is nothing more possible than a new hip or knee that can put the spring back in your step. Patients receiving joint implants(移植)often are able to resume many of the physical activities they love, even those as vigorous as tennis and hiking. No wonder, then, that joint replacement is growing in popularity.In the United States in 2007, surgeons performed about 806, 000 hip and knee implants (the joints most commonly replaced), double the number performed a decade earlier. Though these procedures have become routine, they are not failure free.Implants must sometimes be replaced, said Dr. Henrik Malchau , an orthopaedic surgeon (矫形外科医生) at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. A study published in 2007 found that 7 percent of hips implanted in Medicare patients had to be replaced within seven and a half years.The percentage may sound low, but the finding suggests that thousands of hip patients eventually require a second operation, said Dr. Malchau. Those patients must endure additional recoveries, often painful, and increased medical expenses.The failure rate should be lower, many experts-agree. Sweden, for instance, has a failure rate estimated to be a third of that in the United States. Sweden also has a national joint replacement registry, a database of information from which surgeons can learn how and why certain procedures go wrong. A registry also helps surgeons learn quickly whether a specific type of implant is particularly problematic. "Every country that has developed a registry has been able to reduce failure ratesSignificantly," said Dr. Daniel Berry, chief of orthopaedic surgery at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn.A newly formed American Joint Replacement Registry will begin gathering data from hospitals in the next 12 to 18 months. It's good news for those who are considering replacing a knee or hip.48. What is the problem with hip or knee replacements in the U. S. ?A. A lot of patients need a second operation.B. Doctors are not well trained to ensure successful operations.C. Demands for hip replacement exceed the number of surgeons.D. Replacement operation is becoming too expensive in U. S. hospitals.49. Why does Sweden have a lower rate of hip implant failure?A. Sweden has more advanced technology.B. Sweden has a patient data collecting system.C. Sweden has a much larger number of patients.D. Swedish doctors are more responsible and skilful.50. The U. S. is trying to reduce joint replacement failure rate by_____..A. strictly controlling the number of replacement operationsB. asking hospitals to follow up each case for 12 -18 monthsC. setting up a national joins replacement databaseD. sending doctors to be trained in Sweden51. People who need a new knee or hip would possibly feel_____. about data gathering in the U. S.A. indifferentB. assuredC. puzzledD. hopefulPassage FiveThe Saturday Evening Post "became symbolic of the reading fare of middle-class America". In 1897 Curtis began to revive (重振) the Post on the proposition that a man's chief interest in life is the fight for .livelihood-business. Fiction and articles about romantic business and successful businessmen filled its pages, and products backed by .its advertisements directed at the needs and desires of the business world. The general interest weekly reached new audiences. Its conservative viewpoint and strong admiration for material success appealed to the tastes of the millions who settled in an easy chair with it each Thursday evening. As a more commercial, mass-circulation magazine than The New Yorker, the widely readable Post set out to interpret America to itself.As a national and international institution, The Saturday Evening Post made its mark in the lives of massive numbers of men and women, and served society as a stabilizing influence. Its editorial matter addressed the problems and interests of the readers as never before. Neither highbrow nor lowbrow, the Post set out to interpret average middle-class America, for that was its audience. However, this magazine lost touch with the mood of the American people in the 1930s. The Post's editor Lorimer, opposed Roosevelt and the New Deal and changed his magazine from an organ of entertainment and enlightenment into a weapon of political warfare. He believed that in opposing the New Deal he had spoken for the majority of voters, but the 1936 election proved him wrong. His conservatism extended beyond politics, it dominated the m agazine’s content and style causing a decline in reputation and authority. The Post met its greatest success when it went beyond the tastes of the masses, challenging its readers to acknowledge the genius of contributors such as F. Scott Fitzgerald and William Faulkner. It was later reformed in an effort to fulfill its responsibility to awaken lethargic（昏昏欲睡的）America, however, The Saturday Evening Post seemed to play toconventions while The New Yorker took off to redefine the character of American Humor.52. According to Paragraph 1, who are primarily the readers of the Post?A. Businessmen.B. College students.C. Housewives.D. Politicians.53. What is the earliest time that readers can read the Post every week？A. Monday.B. Thursday.C. Saturday.D. Sunday.54. Why did the Post lose much of its audience in the 1930's?A. It changed its original style and was heavily involved in politics.B. Readers couldn't afford a newspaper because of the Depression.C. The new editor was not interested in Roosevelt's politics.D. It failed to absorb sufficient advertisements.55. What makes the Post so commercially successful?A. Presenting American style humor.B. Sticking to the tastes of the middle class.C. Carrying articles and novels by local writers.D. Staying in close contact with the business world.V.

广东省成人高等教育学士学位英语统考真题及精解Part II Reading Comprehension (40 points)Directions : There are 4 passages it this part. Each passage is followed by 5 questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and marlo your answer on the ANSWER SHEET.Passage TwoWhat you've always heard? We're eating way too much salt. The average American gets about 3.4 grams of sodium every day, far more than the upper limit of 2. 3 grams recommended by the USDA. The Institute of Medicine estimates that reducing sodium intake (摄取量) nationwide could prevent 100,000 deaths every year.The headlines now? It's time to get tough. The New York City health department recently kicked off a national effort to cut the amount of salt in packaged and restaurant food by 25% over five years. 80% of the salt in the average person's diet comes from those sources, not from the sahshaker (盐瓶).But wait! The benefits of salt reduction are surprisingly mruky. At least 13 studies have tried to find out what happensto people who choose to eat salty or not-so-salty food--and the results have pointed in eve~3~ direction. Sonre studies suggest that cutting salt protects the heart; others suggest that intense salt reduction can actually increase heart problems. What's needed , Dr. Michael Alderman says, is a randomized (随机的) , controlled trial, in which people are put on different diets and followed for years. It's the only way to get a reliable answer, but it's never been done.So what should you do? Go easy on processed foods and eat more produce. Those changes will improve your diet in a variety of ways and cut the amount of sodium you consume. If your blood pressure is high, work with your doctor to control it with drugs and lifestyle changes. If your blood pressure is healthy? At this point, there's no convincing reason for you to count every grain.21. It is stated in Paragraph 1 that our sodium intake[A] is within the healthy range[B] is a bit over the upper limit[C] is far beyond what is necessary[D] is well below the lower limit22. The main sources of salt in our diet are[A] home-made food and packaged food[B] restaurant food and saltshakers[C] home-made food and saltshakers[D] restaurant food and packaged food23. What does the word "murky' (Para. 3) probably mean?[A] Unclear. [B] Significant.[C] Obvious. [D] Exaggerated.24. What does Dr. Michael Alderman say about a randonfized, controlled trial?[A] It has been successfully conducted.[B] It should be carded out.[C] It is already under way.[D] It is too late to try it.25. As stated in the last paragraph, people with normal blood pressure[A] should consider a change of their lifestyle[B] have every reason to be careful about sodium[C] will not be affected by the amount of sodium taken[D] do not have to take sodium too seriouslyPassage ThreeThere is a tale that straw is the worst material from which to build a house, particularly if you are a pig with a hungry wolf around. So the cards were stacked against Warren Brush whenlocal officials learned that he had several buildings made of straw bales ( 大捆) on his land.They have tried to fine him a lot. But the case is still unresolved. The problem is that California's building codes make no provision for the use of straw. And Mr Brush has many defenders--among them several university scientists and David Eisenberg, the chairman of the United States Green Building Council's code connnittee. They would like to see the prejudice against straw houses eliminated, for straw is, in many ways, an ideal building material.It is, for one thing, a great insulator (绝缘体). That keeps down the heating bills in houses made from it. It is also a waste product that would otherwise be burned, and is therefore cheap, and very much to the point in a place like California, it is earthquake-resistant. Last year a test conducted at the University of Nevada showed that straw-bale constructions could' withstand twice the amount of ground motion recorded in the Northridge earthquake that hit LosAngeles in 1994.There are other straws in the wind: a post office in suburban Albuquerque, a school in Maryland, and an office complex in suburban Los Angeles have all been built fromstraw. Even California is having a rethink, and may change its rules to adapt to straw-bale construction. As Mr Eisenberg observes, "the lesson of the Three Little Pigs isn't to avoid straw. It's that you don't let a pig build your house."26. By "the cards were stacked against Warren Brush, the author means that Brash[A] received punishment [B] made a breakthrough[c] would be in trouble [D] might win a prize27. David Eisenberg is mentioned[A] as a representative of official opinions[B] for the purpose of supporting Warren Brush[C] to provide evidence against straw houses[D] to show the importance of the building codes28. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?[A] The structure of straw houses.[B] The possibility of building straw houses.[C] The suggestions for building straw houses.[D] The advantages of straw houses.29. It can be learned from the last paragraph that California[Al will fine Warren Brush as planned[B] will reduce the fine on Warren Brush[C] may consider a heavier fine on Warren Brush[D] may not fine Warren Brash30. The author's purpose in writing the passage is to[A] show that straw can be used to build houses[B] highlight the prejudice against straw houses[C] explain how to build a house with straw[D] introduce a new building materialPassage FourI was talking with a senior Public Relations manager the other day about "The Game Trainers" and he expressed much doubt about both the possibility and value of getting senior professionals to play games.These are serious people with serious jobs, and they are not going to waste time running around like school children,' he told me. This statement highlighted many of his assumptions.He also provided me with a golden opportunity to talk about how these "serious people with serious jobs" could actually learn something about themselves, their staff, their company, and their business opportunities by allowing creativity to flow more freely through "games".His position is not uncommon and it comes from a deep seated misunderstanding of what a "game" is and what it is for,as well as a set notion of what "work" nmst look like for it to be considered of value. It's not a coincidence (巧合) that the most successful companies of the last decade, including Apple and Google, were all started by college students, and perhaps as a consequence have at their core a spirit of fun，creativity and innovation. Their success has not been achieved through a strict work environment, dull meetings and a 9 to 5 work time. Instead they have flowing and flexible work spaces, a culture of cooperation, opportunities for creativity and relaxed work structures.The Game Trainers support this innovative and highly productive approach to work by developing games to integrate into the working environment, And so, I said to the PR man, it's a good thing that they are "serious people with serious jobs", because we also are extremely serious about play, and in today's environment they simply cannot afford not to play games.31. What does the PR man ager think of the author’s proposal of playing games?[Al It is against the rule. [B] It makes no sense.[C] It is worth a try. [D] It would be beneficial.32. The author suggests that the PR manager’sposition on games[A] represents a common misunderstanding[B] allows for greater work efficiency[C] is based on scientifically proven concepts[D] is hard to understand in today's world?33. The examples of Apple and Google show that[A] it helps to combine work with games[B] games should be separated from work[C] work and games can be clearly defined[D] no work can be done well without games34. "The Game Trainers" is probably a[A] computer game [B] search engine[C] game developer [D] research system35. In the passage the author[A] encourages people to work more creatively[B] describes how to balance work with life[C] analyzes why it is important to enjoy work[D] promotes an innovative approach to work广东省成人高等教育学士学位英语统考真题及精解Passage TwoWhat you've always heard? We're eating way too muchsalt. The average American gets about 3.4 grams of sodium every day, far more than the upper limit of 2. 3 grams recommended by the USDA. The Institute of Medicine estimates that reducing sodium intake (摄取量) nationwide could prevent 100,000 deaths every year.你一直听到什么？我们吃太多盐。

His works were received enthusiastically both in England and in the United States. He was, in fact, one of the most successful writers of his time in the country, and at the same time winning the admiration of fellow writers like Scott in Britain and Poe and Hawthorne in the United States. The respect in which he was held partly owing to the man himself, with his warm friendliness, his good sense, his urbanity, his gay spirits, his artistic integrity, his love of both the Old World and the New. Thackeray described Irving as "a gentleman, who, though himself born in no very high sphere, was most finished, polished, witty; socially the equal of the most refined Europeans." In England he was granted an honorary degree from Oxford—an unusual honor for a citizen of a young, uncultured nation—and he received the medal of the Royal Society of Literature. America made him ambassador to Spain.Irving"s background provides little to explain his literary achievements. A gifted but delicate child, he had little schooling. He studied law, but without zeal, and never did practice seriously. He was immune to his strict Presbyterian home environment, frequenting both social gatherings and the theater.（分数：10.00）(1).The main point of the first paragraph is that Washington Irving was ______.（分数：2.00）A.America"s first man of lettersB.a writer who had great success both in and outside his own country √C.a man who was able to move from literature to politicsD.a man whose personal charm enabled him to get by with basically inferior work解析：[解析] 推理判断题。
