Each passage is followed by five questions or unfinished statements. For each question, there are fourchoices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best answerand mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single linethrough the center.Passage OneQuestion 33 to 37 are based on the following passage.Most of China's Internet users go online to chat or seek entertainment rather than look for jobs or conduct business.According to a recent report released by China Internet Network Information (CNNIC), China's Internet users totaled 162 million in the first six months of 2007. The country reported 137 million users last year.The rapid growth could be translated into almost 100 new users per minute in the past six months. At this rate of increase, China is expected to overtake the United States, the world's leader, by the end of next year. The US had 211 million Internet users at the end of last month.The number of China's Internet users has been on the rise since 1994, when it was firstintroduced to the country. However, the research showed most users were interested in chat rooms and entertainment, and not in job searches, education, or e-banking. More than 60 percent regarded online music and videos as an important source of entertainment, though about 75 percent read online news and used search engines for information. Only 21 percent used e-banking services, and 3.9 percent booked tickets through the Internet.Wang Enhai, an official with CNNIC, and one of the authors of the report, said the phenomenon is due to China's Internet infancy (初期) and the fact most users were young people. "China's Internet market is just emerging and there are still a lot of things to be done before a mature online business environment can be established," Wang said.33. According to the passage, over half of the Internet users in China go online for ______.A) language learning B) job searching C) entertainment D) business matters34. The report was most probably released ______.A) by the end of 1994 B) in the first half of 2007C) before June of 2006 D) after June of 200735.

According to one of the authors of the report, China’s Internet market is _____.A) still under development B) already a mature oneC) supported by young people D) quite diff erent from America’sPassage TwoQuestion 38 to 42 are based on the following passage.Although not identical, the terms "college" and "university" are often used interchangeably in the United States. There is no legal or official control over the institution's option to choose one or the other as part of its name. Over the years, many institutions change their names as they add new programs and levels of study. Usually, a college offers a four-year program of study leading toward the bachelor's degree. Colleges may be independent, offering only undergraduate programs, or they may be part of a university that offers both undergraduate and graduate degrees. Universities emphasize research and often include professional schools, undergraduate colleges of arts and sciences, and graduate schools. In 1989 and 1990, nearly 138,000 foreign studentsattended four-year programs leading to the bachelor's degree.There are over 2,000 traditional four-year colleges and universities in the United States, and each has a unique identity. Each college determines its own goals, emphases and admissions standards. Liberal arts colleges, for example, emphasize excellence in teaching basic subjects such as humanities(人文学科), natural sciences, social sciences and languages.Besides liberal arts colleges, there are many other types of colleges. Historically, some colleges have admitted only male, only female or only black students; however, most now are open to all academically qualified students who apply. Other colleges have a particular religious emphasis. Colleges and universities that stress career preparation may have special cooperative education programs or internships（实习期）in which students work part-time as a requirement for the degree.38. Which of the following is true about the difference between colleges and universes?A) There is no real difference between them for the names are used interchangeably.B) Graduate schools are more often found in universities rather than in colleges.C) Most colleges are a part of universities and offer only four-year programs of study.D) Research receives more attention in universities while colleges offer more programs.39.

Liberal arts colleges lay emphasis on _______.A) teaching basic subjects well B) maintaining admissions standardsC) teaching natural sciences D) determining their own goals41.

Which of the following can serve as the title of the passage?A) The status of America’s minority college students.B) A brief introduction to American colleges and universities.C) Programs and degrees offered by American colleges.D) Historical development of US colleges and universities.Passage ThreeQuestion 43 to 47 are based on the following passage.“What's your greatest weakness?”This question has been a weapon used by the hiringmanager during a job interview, but most people still have trouble with the dilemma（进退两难的境地）it causes: answer too frankly, and you may loose your opportunity. Provide a prepared answer, and you'll give a false impression, or worse, seem dishonest by saying "My greatest weakness is that I work too hard.""It's a tricky question," admits Andrea Kay, a career advisor. "I would suggest that you be ready for it, anticipate it, because it is still a question that gets asked over and over again."You may use the strategy of mentioning a non-existent "weakness”. But you must be cautious and t ry to name only weakness that have little to do with the job you’re applying for. Or you can name a real weakness, but one you're taking steps to improve. Of course, you can always choose not to answer the question at all or ask the interviewer to rephrase（换句话问）the question. But you must be warned: each of these strategies can have drawbacks（缺点）."Not everybody's great at everything," Kay said. "But you don't want to say ‘I don't get along well with people.’ You don't want to go down a path that gets you in trouble. Don't talk about people issues.""Absolutely!" said a hiring director. “If raised correctly, it is one of those questions that can open the door for further discussion."43. Why would hiring managers like to ask about applicants’ weakness?A) They need to find out whether applicants are honest or not.B) They use the question to explore applicants’ real weakness.C) They want to create a dilemma for applicants to deal with.D) They can get to know more about applicants in the discussion.44. What may be the result if you are absolutely frank in your answer to the weakness question?A) The hiring manager may ask you more question.B) The hiring manager may find fault with you.C) You may reveal yourself not appropriate for the job.D) You may give an impression that you are not honest.45. If you want to mention a real weakness of yours, you should _____.A) mention your efforts to improveB) prepare one before the interviewC) relate your answer to the job applied forD) let the interviewer know your strong points46. What should you never mention during a job interview according to the passage?A) You can not provide further information. B) You can not think of one at the moment.C) You can not get along well with people. D) You can not understand the question.47. This passage is written most probably for ______.A) newspaper reader B) college graduatesC) job interviewers D) career advisorsPassage FourQuestion 48 to 52 are based on the following passage.Many people usually think of dot-com companies first when they think of IT jobs. Although the environments at such companies can differ from those of non-tech companies, the responsibilities and requirements remain much the same for either.Sze Hsu programs for . He has found that programming at a dot-com requires a lot more than a keyboard. “When I decide to go into programming, I thought I would simply be in front of a computer screen all day l ong playing with code,” says Hsu. “Since then, I have worked for computer companies large and small, and now I realize that programming is actually only half the story.”A typical day starts with group planning. This means keeping a keen ear open at meetings when technical advice would be useful. A lot of team work must be involved. Communication is still regarded as the most important skill, even in this most technical duty.The technical decision is totally dependent on the task at hand. When creating a high traffic web site, you need to lean towards performance. When creating a banking application, you probably need to lean towards stability. Bottom line: there is no easy answer.“Finally, we come to the original job description―programming,” says Hsu.“This is the part of the job where one puts on his/her headphones while striking the keyboard.” “Overall, I would say programming is definitely a challenging job. So, although knowing a few programming languages will help, that is not what makes a program mer.”48. What features do dot-com companies and non-tech companies share?A) Performance and requirements.B) Communication and group planning.C) Responsibility and requirements.D) Environments and performance.49. As a programmer for , Sze Hsu has realized that .A) programming is just playing with codeB) many other skills are needed besides programmingC) a programmer must know how to do programmingD) one puts on his headphones while working50. Communication is still regarded as the most important sill because _____.A) it is the most required technicalB) it is totally dependent on the taskC) it is important to keep a keen ear open at meetingsD) programmers must work together as a team51. “A high traffic web site” in (Paragraph 4) is a web site that ______.A) offers tour information B) has a large number of visitsC) requires a lot of programming D) helps people communicate52. What may be the best title for this passage?A) A Programmer Does More Than Programming.B) Listening Skill Comes First for A Programmer.C) Experience Is As Important As Knowledge.D) A Dot-com Differs From A Non-tech Company.Part IV: Translation from English into Chinese (10%)(15minutes)Directions: In this part, there are five items, and four of them are taken from the reading passages you have just read. Below each, there are five Chinesesentences translated which are marked A), B), C), D) and E). Each letterstands for a score varying from 0 to 2. You should decide which is thebest translation, and then mark the corresponding letter on the Answersheet.T1.
