(If yes, what has it done? /If not, why not?)E Why is environmental protection important?E Is environmental pollution a local or global problem? (Please explain) E Which do you think is more important, environmental protection or economic development?正确答案:E First of all, we’d like to know something about you, so I’m going to ask some questions about yourselves.E Are you satisfied with the environment you are living in?A I’m dissatisfied with the environment I’m living in now. I’m a university student in Beijing. Actually I think the environment on campus is very good, because there are many trees and plenty of grass on campus. For example, at dusk, we can see many birds flying over the campus. It’s very beautiful. What makes me dissatisfied is the environment of Beijing. Some of Beijing’s rivers are very dirty and smell feculent. Beijing also has sensible sandstorms. This environment problem is getting more and more serious. As the suffusing dust blocks out the sky, enshrouding the cities, the storm brings much inconvenience and trouble to people’s daily life and work, and even claim lives in regions where the problem is more serious.E Has your university done anything to protect the campus environment? (If yes, what has it done? /If not, why not?)A Yes, my university attaches great importance to the campus environment. There are many lawns and trees in my university. Workers often mow the lawns and clean the streets on campus. So, the campus’s always kept tidy. There is a very beautiful lake on campus. After lunch, students and teachers always go there to have a walk. Three years ago, the water of this lake was very dirty, and teachers and students often complained about it. Then, my university mobilized all the students and teachers to clean this lake. Firstly, they drained all the water. Secondly, they scooped out the garbage that sunk to the bottom of the lake. Finally, they pumped clean water into the lake. Now the lake has restored its beauty. This is one example of what is being done to protect the campus environment, from which we can see all teachers and students are contributing to the campus environment at protection.E Why is environmental protection important?A To know the importance of environmental protection, you should know the damage done by pollution. Pollution is harmful to human beings. Polluted water causes many kinds of diseases. And sometimes these diseases kill people’s lives. Dirty air or garbage causes stinging eyes and running noses. Pollutants are destructive. They eat away the stone and cause iron to rust. Environmental pollution is more serious in some areas.E Is environmental pollution alocal or global problem? (Please explain) B In my opinion, environmental pollution is both a local and global problem. Environmental pollution does great damage to people’s health and drives a growing number of people into poverty. So in many nations, environmental degradation is now recognized as a key barrier to governments’ability to meet basic needs and sustain living standard. At the global level, almost all of the indicators are negative. Each year now, the level of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere reaches a new high, and the ozone layer grows thinner. Thousands of plant and animal species no longer exist. The world environmental protection has, in a sense, been under way for more than two decades. Grass-roots environmental organizations proliferated in these years. Environmental pollution is a serious problem that needs to be solved by all human beings both on a local and global level.E Which do you think is more important, environmental protection or economic development?B Some people think that the most urgent task is to develop economy on a large scale because many people, especially in rural areas, are living in poverty. They believe only by further balancing and developing our economy can we get rid of poverty and gain overall prosperity. On the other hand, many people insist that environmental protection should be top priority. We have only one mother earth. If our ecological environment is heavily polluted or ruined, we could not survive on this planet. In my opinion, both economy and environment protection are urgent tasks. Without economic development, we would remain backward and possibly be conquered or bullied by other powerful countries. On the other hand without environmental protection, we would lose our home. Therefore, the best solution is to develop environmental-protection-oriented industries and agriculture, killing two birds with one stone.考生相互问答2.E Now, I’d like you to talk about something between yourselves. You should take care to share the opportunity of speaking.正确答案:A I think the best way to avoid traffic accidents is to obey the traffic rules. As long as you do so, every vehicle can run smoothly and orderly in the street, and no traffic accidents will happen. For example, at the crossing, everyone should obey the traffic lights.B Yes, it’s very important to obey traffic rules. But if your vehicle is in poor condition and it breaks down suddenly in the street, a traffic accident will also happen. So, I think we should keep our vehicles in good condition, and it’s the best way to avoid traffic accidents.A As far as I know, there are many traffic accidents caused by violation of traffic rules. Some people ride bicycles with another person sitting at the back seat; some drivers drink too much alcohol before driving; some pedestrians cross the street against the traffic lights.B I think we should obey traffic rules to avoid traffic accidents.A But there are still traffic accidents taking place although we obey the traffic rules and keep our vehicles in good condition. If the weather is bad, or if the street is narrow, we can’t avoid and traffic accidents. What can we do?B We still can do something to solve this problem. Drivers shouldkeep alert and show consideration for others especially in bad weather and a narrow street.A Yes. Moreover, pedestrians should also keep alert and show consideration for others. For example, they should look to the left and right when they step off thepavement. B Sure, all of what you said is right. I just think all that you said can be found in the traffic rules. So, as long as we obey the traffic rules, there will be no traffic accidents. It’s the best way. Besides, our country should strengthen the supervision of transportation, such as speed limits on the highway in bad weather, broadening the street, forbidding the booths at the sides of streets, etc.B What can we do as citizens to help reduce traffic accidents?A I think it depends on the role a citizen plays in the city. If you are a driver, certainly you should not drink alcohol before driving and be aware of the fatal consequences of your carelessness; if you are a pedestrian, then please obey the traffic rules and be careful of the vehicles running in the street. Certainly, no matter which role a citizen plays in his daily life, a driver or a pedestrian, it’s a must for him to obey traffic rules.A What do you think of bicycles as a means of transportation in big cities?B I think bicycle is a good means of transportation in big cities. Firstly, you need not take the crowded bus and subway. You need not wait for your bus at the bus station for a long time. Besides, riding a bicycle can avoid traffic congestion. Sometimes a bicycle is faster than a bus or taxi because of the traffic congestion. I think most of us must have had such an experience. And a bicycle is so convenient for riding and parking in crowded streets. You can go anywhere at any time.B What measures has the government taken to reduce traffic accidents in cities? A Our government has taken many measures to reduce traffic accidents in cities. Firstly, the government invested much more money in the construction of transportation, such as broadening the streets and building new streets, because traffic accidents are caused by the narrow or crowded streets. Secondly, government has strengthened the supervision of traffic. If it’s in bad weather, the speed of vehicles would be limited especially on highways. The government can also invest money into the education to make people conscious of traffic rules. For example, in the street, we can see some advertisements about traffic accidents.继续性问答3.E I’m going to give each of you a picture and I’d like you to first briefly describe and then give your comment on what you see in the picture. Candidate A, this is your picture. You have three minutes to talk about it.E Thank you. Now, candidate B, could you please ask your partner a question?E OK. Candidate B, here is your picture. You also have three minutes to talk about your picture.E Thank you. Now, candidate A, could you please ask your partner a question?正确答案:E I’m going to give each of you a picture and I’d like you to first briefly describe and then give your comment on what you see in the picture. Candidate A, this is your picture. You have three minutes to talk about it.A The picture shows us a prospect of family reunion. The whole family is getting together and having a wonderful supper. In holidays they choose to stay home to enjoy andrelax with the family. Each member of the family appears to be happy and they are toasting to each other’s health. In China family reunion is a traditional way of observing holidays.E Thank you. Now, candidate B, could you please ask your partner a question?B Do you think we should spend our own festivals or western ones?A I’m a more traditional person. I’ve also noticed the change and my attitude toward this phenomenon is just live-and-let-live. People can have their own way of life. If they want to celebrate the western festivals, then just let them do so. But for myself, I prefer celebrating our traditional ones. Chinese are more reserved. And being reserved is not a fault in our character. We just show our love in our own way. It may not be spoken out, but one can feel it. And usually it’s the deepest, and the strongest love. Under the more reserved appearance, there is often a more colorful and richer inner world. So it’s still more important to celebrate our own festivals.E OK. Candidate B, here is your picture. You also have three minutes to talk about your picture.B In the left of pictures, groups of people, mostly women, are shopping in the stories. They are purchasing all kinds of clothes. In holidays people usually stroll along the streets. There are usually many sales for them to get a good bargain. In the right picture, a boy indulges himself in the net. Surfing the net seems to have brought great satisfaction to him. Indeed surfing the net is convenient, but we should be aware of the problems as well. The web can be dangerous because it can be addictive and violent sites are easily accessible and can pollute young minds. Additionally, it influences your working and studying play if you spend too much time on it. So, people should be careful not to be misled.E Thank you. Now, candidate A, could you please ask your partner a question?A What should we do to encounter these phenomenon?B In my opinion, at present, we have two urgent tasks at hand. One is to develop our economy quickly, and it can help us win back the youth. The other is to publicize and give more attention to our own culture. We can create a kind of atmosphere with the help of government, and our mass media. We should learn from the foreigners but we should have our own understanding to these festivals. For example, we could have a candle supper with our lovers without rose or chocolate, and we could express the same feeling by our own ways.。

One step is to make sure that the house seems a lived-in one. Living room curtains should be pulled down only half-way. Bedrooms that usually have the curtains pulled down at night should be left down . Another is to make sure that all outside locks are the dead-bolt type (双保险) . Still another is to leave several 100W lights burning and make sure that one is in the kitchen. Lights that turned on and off by themselves are the best. Then, too, it is a good idea to leave the radio turned on and setto a talking station. Any type of speaking makes a thief think twice before trying to enter. Finally, while away on holiday, make sure that nothing collects in front or in the house. Particularly, make certain that the newspaper is stopped and thata trusted neighbour has been asked to pick up the mail. Thieves are especially quick to notice piled-up newspapers and overpiled mail boxes.36. Why did the writer begin this piece with question?A. Because he wanted to catch the readers' attention.B.

But modern research has found out that this is (19), for it is not easy to say exactly what each part of the head does.In the past fifty years there (20) a great increase in the amount of research (21) on the brain. Chemists and biologist have (22) that the way the brain works is not so simple (23) people in general may be. Chemists tell us that about 1000,000 chemical changes (24) in the brain every second. Some recent researches also (25) that man can remember everything (26) happens to him. We may (27) to recall the thing we have heard or seen, but it is all kept there in the storehouse of the human head. Earlier scientists said that the power of (28) brain got weaker and weaker as (29) grows older. But it is now (30) that that is not true. (31) the brain is given enough exercise, it keeps its ability.

We have two baseball teams here, the Cubs and the White Sox. I like the Cubs. The White Sox are boring and theyre losers, too. I never go to their games. But theres a lot more than Chicago than baseball. Look around, were in the city now. This is Michigan Avenue. Theres the John Hancodk Center.That building is 100 storeys high! Thats too high, if you ask me, if there is a fire on the 85th or 90th floor, how are the firemen going to put it out? Theres no chance... Look over there.Theres a large building. Its the sears Tower. That building is 110 storeys high! ... Do you see those round buildings? Those buildings are the Marine City Apartments (flats). Those buildings have 60 floors each. Thousands of people in each one. Imagine that, all those people in two buildings, its terrible to have so many neighbors. Theres the Merchandise Mart. Thats another big building. Do you know whats in the building? There are stores, restaurants, a bank, a post office, a radio station and a TV station. Its too crowded... Well, here we are. Remember, ask any cab driver about Chicago.

Cab drivers know almost everything about the town.40.We know from the passage that the speaker is probably ( ).a. a visitorb. a tour guidec. a taxi driverd. a bus conductorBJonathan Rivers lived alone in a neat house in Compton Street and worked in London. Like many other single men in their middle age, he was getting rather set in his ways. He looked after the house well and had a beautiful garden. Before he left the house in the morning, he would carefully close all the doors downstairs, open some windows upstairs to let the air in and lock the front door.One summer evening Jonathan returned home as usual, just at five minutes to seven. When he opened the front gate he immediately noticed something strange. There was a heavy footprint in the earth in one of the flowers beds. Jonathan was just going to blame the milkman when he noticed that one of the white curtains in the front room downstairs was out of place. Jonathan never left anything out of place.He walked up to the front door and opened it quietly. He listened carefully for a few moments but could hear nothing. The front-room door was half-open. Jonathan studied it thoughtfully, wondering if he had forgotten to close it that morning. He had never forgotten to do it before. He stepped silently across the hall to the door and looked inside the room. The shadow of a man was clearly reflected on the far wall in the evening sunlight. The man had clearly been standing behind the door since Jonathans return. Jonathan immediately locked the door. Then he calmly picked up the telephone in the hall and set about calling the police.The bugler, a tall fellow with a beard, tried to climb through a window to get out but Jonathan had expected that. He attacked him with his umbrella, using it like a sword. Three minutes later the police arrived on the scene. Jonathan was little annoyed that he had to have dinner later than usual but on the whole he felt quite pleased with himself.41 From the sentence Like many other single men in their middle age, he was getting rather set in his ways we learn that ( ).a. Middle-aged men are likely to have different ways of living.b. Many other single men in the world would rather live like Jonathan.c. Jonathan liked to do things in the same way as other middle-agedsingle men.d. Jonathan was getting into the habit of doing things in the sameway every day.42 What was the first thing Jonathan noticed when he came back home onesummer evening?a. A curtain in the front room was not in its place.b. The windows of the front room were open.c. There was a sign of the postmans entering his room.d. A heavy footprint was in one of the flower beds.43 Did the bugler know Jonathans coming home? How do you know?a. Yes, because he hid himself behind the half-opened door.b. Yes, because he was ready to hit Jonathan on the back.c. No, because he was still stealing in the room.d. No, because he kept the door half-open.44 What did Jonathan do when the bugler attempted to escape from thewindow?a. He called the police by shouting at the top of his voice.b. He immediately locked the door and rushed to the police station.c. He hit the bugler with the point of his umbrella.d. He had expected that the bugler would hit him.45 We learn from the passage that Jonathan ( ).a. was strong enough to fight the buglerb. was quite inexperienced in dealing with buglersc. had a close friend who was a policemand. hated his routine to be disturbed by anything unexpected。

Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET by drawing a thick line across the corresponding letter in the brackets.Text 1After a busy day of work and play, the body needs to rest. Sleep is necessary for goodhealth. During this time, the body recovers from the activities of the previous day. The rest that you get while sleeping enables your body to prepare itself for the next day.There are four levels of sleep, each being a little deeper than the one before. As you sleep, your muscles relax little by little. Y our heart beats more slowly, and your brain slows down. After you reach the fourth level, your body shifts back and forth from one level of sleep to the other.Although your mind slows down, from time to time you will dream. Scientists who study sleep state that when dreaming occurs, your eyeballs begin to move more quickly (Although your eyelids are closed). This stage of sleep is called REM, which stands for rapid eye movement.If you have trouble falling asleep, some people recommend breathing very deeply. Other people believe that drinking warm milk will help make you drowsy. There is also an old suggestion the counting sheep will put you to sleep!46 A good title for this passage is ____.A. Sleep C. DreamsB. Good Health D. Work and Rest47. The word drowsy in the last paragraph means ____.A. sick C. asleepB. stand up D. a little sleepy48. This passage suggests that not getting enough sleep might make you _____.A. dream more often C. nervousB. have poor health D. breathe quickly49. During REM, ____.A. your eyes move quickly C. you are restlessB. you dream D. both A and B50. The average number of hours of sleep that an adult needs is ______ .A. approximately six hours C. about eight hoursB. around ten hours D. not stated hereText 2Obviously television has both advantages and disadvantages.In the first place, television is not only a convenient source of entertainment, but also a comparat ively cheap one. With a TV set in the family people don‟t have to pay for expensive seats at the theatre, the cinema, or the opera .All they have to so is to push a button or turn a knob, and they can see plays, films, operas and shows of every kind. Some people, however, think that this is where the danger lies. The television viewers need do nothing. He does not even have to use his legs if the has a remote control. He makes no choice and exercises, no judgment. He is completely passive and has everything presented to him without any effort in his part.Television, it is often said, keeps one informed about current events and the latest developments in science and politics. The most distant countries and the strangest customs are brought right into one‟s sitting room. It could be argued that the radio performs this service as well; but on television everything is much more living, much more real. Y et here again there is a danger. The television screen itself has a terrible, almost physical charm for us. We get so used to looking at the movements on it ,so dependent on its pictures, that itbegins to control our lives. People are often heard to say that their television sets have broken down and that they have suddenly found that they have far more time to do things and the they have actually begin to talk to each other again. It makes one think, doesn‟t it?There are many other arguments for and against television. We must realize that television itself is neither good nor bad. It is the uses that it is put to that determine its value to society.51. What is the major function of paragraph 1?A. To arouse the reader‟s concernB. To introduce the theme of the whole passageC. To summarize the whole passageD. To sate the primary uses of TV52. Television, as a source of entertainment, is ______.A. not very convenientB. very expensiveC. quite dangerousD. relatively cheap53. Why are some people against TV?A. Because TV programs re not interestingB. Because TV viewers are totally passiveC. Because TV prices are very high.D. Because TV has both advantages and disadvantages54. One of the most obvious advantages of TV is that ______.A. it keeps us informedB. it is very cheapC. it enables us to have a restD. it controls our lives55. According to the passage, whether TV is good or not depends on _______ .A. its qualityB. people ‟s attitude towards itC. how we use itD. when we use itText 3Too often young people get themselves employed quite by accident, not knowing what lies in the way of opportunity for promotion, happiness and security. As a result, they are employed doing jobs that afford them little or no satisfaction. Our school leavers face so much competition that they seldom care what they do as long as they can earn a living . Some stay long at a job and learn to like it ;others quite from one to another looking for something to suit them, the young graduates who leave the university look for jobs that offer a salary up to their expectation. V ery few go out into the world knowing exactly what they want and realizing their own abilities. The reason behind all this confusion is that there never has been a proper vocational guidance in our educational institution. Nearly all grope(摸索) in the dark and their chief concern when they look for a job is to ask what salary is like. They never bother to think whether they are suited for the job or, even more important, whether the job suits them, Having a job is more than merely providing yourself and your dependants with daily bread and some money for leisure and entertainment, It sets a pattern of life and, in many ways, determines social status in life, selection of friends, leisure and interest.In choosing a career you should first consider the type of work which will suit your interest .Noting is more pathetic than taking on a job in which you have no interest, for it willnot only discourage your desire to succeed in life but also ruin your talents and ultimately make you an emotional wreck (受到严重伤害的人)and a bitter person.56. The reason why some people are unlikely to succeed in life is that they _____ .A. have ruined their talentsB. have taken on an unsuitable jobC. think of nothing but their salaryD. are not aware of their own potential57. The difficulty in choosing a suitable job lies mainly in that_____ .A. much competition has to be facedB. many employees have no working experienceC. the young people only care about how much they can earnD. schools fail to offer students appropriate vocational guidance58. Which of the following statements is most important according to the passage?A. Y our job must suit your interest.B. Y our job must set a pattern of life.C. Y our job must offer you a high salary.D. Y our job must not ruin your talents.59.The best title for this passage would be ____.A. What Can A Good Job OfferB. Earning A LivingC. Correct Attitude On Job-huntingD. How To Choose A Job60. The word “pathetic”in paragraph 2 most probabl y means ____ .A. splendidB. miserableC. disgustedD. touching Part BDirections:The 12,000 members of the Electricity Workers‟ Union on strike last week and since then there has been no electricity. For question 61-65, match the names with the statements below. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.Mr. Mike Smith:It wasn‟t an easy decision, but we‟ve been asking for a decent wage for years. Now at last people are beginning to listen to us. We‟re only asking for a 25 percent increas e in our wages. 250 dollars a week. That‟s all. It‟s pity so many people have to be inconvenienced by out strike. But please don‟t blame us. Blame the government for refusing our claim.Mr. Tom Brown:It‟s totally unreasonable to demand so much money w hen we are trying desperately to control inflation. If wages go up, so do prices. If we gave in to the electricity workers, all the other unions would want more, with the inevitable result that the crisis would become uncontrollable. What we‟re trying to i mpress upon everybody is that inflation hurts everybody, especially the poor people. We offer the electricity workers a 10 percent increase. And that‟s already too much. My stand at this meeting will be to persuade the Union to see reason.Mr. Bob Davis:Everybody will be hurt by this strike, including the electricity workers themselves. Theeconomy will be destroyed and many people will lose their jobs. Already people are saying that the big unions have too much power and shouldn‟t be a llowed to strike. O course the electricity want to get more money. Don‟t we all?Mr. Baker:My opinion is “Get the Army in”. All the power stations should be managed by the army. The strikers should be thrown into prison. That‟s what this country needs. Why must we all suffer just because a few men are greedy? If they don‟t like their jobs, nobody …s forcing them to work. They should try and live on 50 dollars a week like I have to. Perhaps they‟d keep their mouths shut then.Miss Slater:Let‟s face it. It‟s neither here nor there. The electricity workers are in a strong position. Perhaps we can‟t do anything bout it. What I say is: let them have their 250 dollars so we can return to work. I mean, the government wastes the taxpayers‟ money all the ti me on trivial things. How can anyone say 250 dollars is “too much”? Pop singers get more. Nurses get less. It‟s just one of those things.Now match each of the persons (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement.Note: there are two extra statements.Statements61. Mr. Mike Smith62. Mr. Tom Brown63.Mr. Bob David64.Mrs. baker65. Miss Slater[A] A % increase is already too much, and I‟m here to persuade the Union to see reason.[B] I hope that strikes should be banned in all sectors relati ng to the nation‟s security and stability.[C] We will never go back to work until our goals are achieved.[D] I think that the government should give in to the electricity worker‟s demands.[E] I strongly suggest that all the power stations should be run by the army and that the strikers should be put into prison.[F] I must take you clear that strikes will destroy the economy and that many people will lose their jobs.[G] We are forced to call a strike because the government rejected our wage claim.Section ⅣWriting (40 minutes)Y ou should write your responses to both Part A and Part B of this section on ANSWER SHEET 2.Part A66.
