Slowly, as she worked on the long list, she began tofeel uncertain. She began to question some of her decisions. Had she used the best technique in that case? Maybe, in this case, she should have run one more test before operating? On the other hand, maybe she should have … Would the doctors on the selection committee understand that, as the only trained surgeon in the area, she usually could not get advice from others and therefore, had to rely completely on her own judgment? For the first time, Dr. Ginoux felt lonely and isolated.The longer Dr. Ginoux worked on the application forms, the more depressed she became. As hope fa ded, she wondered if a “country doctor” had a realistic chance of being accepted by the American College of Surgeons.(1).Dr. Ginoux was working in _______.A. a large cityB. the American College of SurgeonsC. an area far from any big cityD. a selective organization(2).The application forms must include ___.A. the decision procedureB. a record of all the operations.C. the best techniqueD. a list of advice and judgments(3).It was most probable that Dr. Ginoux was ____A. a member in that organizationB. a well-trained surgeonC. a graduate from the American College of SurgeonsD. a distinguished surgeon in America(4).When she was filling the application froms, Dr. Ginoux began to be____.A. realisticB. distinguishedC. perplexedD. decisive(5).When filling the forms, Dr. Ginoux felt depressed because _____.A. she didn’t perform enough operationsB. some operations were unsuccessfulC. she didn’t get advice from the selection committeeD. she was doubtful about her operations2.An important new industry, oil refining, grew after the Civil War. Crude oil, or petroleum – a dark, thick ooze from the earth – had been known for hundreds of years. But little use had ever been madeof it. In the 1850’s Samuel M. Kier, a manufactur er in the western Pennsylvania, began collecting the oil from local seepages andrefining it into kerosene, Refining, like smelting, is a process of removing impurities from a raw material.Kerosene was used to light lamps. It was a cheap substitute for whale oil, which was becoming harder to get. Soon there was a large demand for kerosene. People began to search for new supplies of petroleum.The first oil well was drilled by E. L. Drake, a retired railroad conductor. In 1859 he began drilling in Titusville, Pennsylvania. The whole venture seemed so impractical and foolish that onlookers called it “Drake’s Folly”. But when he had drilled down about 70 feet (21 meters), Drake struck oil. His well began to yield 20 barrels ofcrude oil a day.News of Drake’s success brought oil prospectors to the scene. By the early 1860’s these wildcatters were drilling for “black gold” all over western Pennsylvania. The boom rivaled the California gold rush of 1848 in its excitement and Wild West atmosphere. And it brought far more wealth to the prospectors than any gold rush.Crude oil could be refined into many products. For some years kerosene continued to be the principal one. It was sold in grocerystores and door-to-door. In the 1880’s refiners learned how to make other petroleum products such as waxes and lubricating oils. Petroleum was not then used to make gasoline or heating oil.(1).Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. Oil Refining: A Historical PerspectiveB. The California Gold Rush: Get Rich QuicklyC. Private Property: Trespassers Will Be ProsecutedD. Kerosene Lamps: Trespassers Will Be Prosecuted(2).It can be inferred from the passage that Kerosene was preferable to whale oil because whale oil was too ________.A. expensiveB. thickC. hotD.polluted(3).Why does the author mention the California gold rush?A. to explain the need for an increased supply of goldB. toindicate the extent of United States mineral wealth C. to describethe mood when oil was first discovered D. to argue that gold was more valuable than oil(4).The word “one” in the second sentence of the last paragraph could best be replaced by which of the following words?A. oilB. doorC. storeD. product(5).The author mentions all of the following as possible products of crude oil EXCEPTA. waxB. gasolineC. KeroseneD. plastic答案：一、单项选择题（80分，共 40 题，每小题 2 分）1. C2. D3. D4. C5. A6. A7. A8. D9. B 10. C 11. C 12. A 13. A14. A 15. C 16. B 17. B 18. D 19. B 20. C 21. C 22. C 23. A 24. A 25.C 26. A 27.D 28. B 29.

It may be a free period or a regular wait, say in the queue for a bus or meal --- even while eating breakfast. One famous surgeon always made it a rule to spend at least 15 minutes on general reading before he went to sleep each night. Whether he went to bed at 10 pm or 2:30 am made no difference. Even if you cannot keep to this kind of discipline, it is a good idea to make sure you always have a general interest book in your pocket. Don’t forget it should be a book which entertains you and the English must not be too difficult for you.Nearly all “speed reading” courses have a “pacing” element --- some timing device which lets the student know how many words a minute he is reading. Y ou can do this simply by looking at your watch every 5 or 10 minutes and noting down the page number you have reached. Check the average number of words per page for the particular book you are busy reading. Well, this is difficult at first. A friend can help by timing you over a set period, or you can read within hearing distance of a public clock which strikes the quarter hours. Pace yourself every three or four days, always with the same kind of easy, general interest book. Y ou should soon notice your habitual w.p.m. rate creeping up.6. The passage recommends setting aside C for reading practice.A. two hours a dayB. one hour a dayC. 15 minutes or half an hour a dayD. three minutes a day before meal7. One famous surgeon always made it a rule to read B .A. 15 minutes at 10 pm each nightB. for at least 15 minutes at bedtimeC. no matter it was early or lateD. whenever he had a spare moment8. It is a good idea always to carry in your packet D .A. a book you will never forgetB. a serious bookC. several books of various kindsD. an easy and interesting English book9. According to the passage, a “pacing” device A.A. measures a student’s reading speedB. is not included in most speed reading coursesC. is an aid to vocabulary learningD. should be used whenever we read alone10. Looking at your watch every 5 or 10 minutes A.A. avoids the need for reading fasterB. is not the same as pacingC. is not easy at firstD. helps you to remember the page number you were at last timePassage2Old Japanese living alone can now hire a “family” for lunch and a few hours’ pleasant talk. Just give them a telephone call and ask for, say, a daughter, son-in-law and grandchild. They will show up at your door, and greet you emotionally as if they hadn’t seen you for years.Some 15 couples have so far hired “families”. “We have nearly 80 people on the waiting list.” Said the president of the company that offers such services, “What is common about these senior citizens is that they are thirsty for human love. We are helping them make their dreams come true.”Where once big families with three or more generations living together were common, now numbers are reducing fast. In cities there are very few indeed. Many old people see their families only rarely, if at all. This may be because the children’s bosses have sent them to a distant city, even abroad, or just because busy family members cannot find time to visit their parents.“We’ve seen many cases in which parent-children relations are not in a happy state,” company president continues. “When a son finally visits his parents after a long while, it is often just to ask for money or for them to let him have their property(财产)early.”Loneliness is not a one-way street. “One young mother came to us to ask about grandparents,” he added.The company is now developing into other fields. Their services include providing “employees” for businessmen to scold and “lovers” for young people unlucky in love. Company’s“lovers” for hire is not a service to be misunderstood, company president makes clear.“Y ou shouldn’t think about our lover too romantically,” he said, “She’s there to act as an adviser on how to find a girlfriend.”11. Old couples in Japan hire family members C .A. to ask for help when they are illB. to realize their big-family dreamsC. to seek love and comfortD. to strengthen parent-children relations12. In the sentence “what is common about t hese senior citizens is that they are thirsty for human love”, “senior citizens” could best be replaced by D .A. high-ranking officials in citiesB. rich old couples living in citiesC. respectable ladies and gentlemenD. old people13. Which of the following is not the reason that Japanese grown-ups seldom visit their parents? CA. They are too busy.B. They work in distant cities.C. They can’t afford expensive visits to their parents.D. Their relations are not very tight.14. “Lonelin ess is not a one-way street” means that A.A. both the old and the young will feel lonelyB. living alone is not a one-way streetC. young mother with a little child will feel lonelyD. one young mother will hire “grandparents” for thei r child15. When a Japanese young man hires a “lover”, B .A. she will be his loverB. she will offer him valuable advice on love affairsC. she will bring him a girlfriendD. she will tell him her own love story第三部分：词汇与结构（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分）16.

Satisfying the 21 of the people leads to further polluting by industry. If the rapid increase in human population 22 at the present rate (比率), there may be much greater harm. Some scientists speak of the 23 in number of people as “Population Pollution”.About 2000 years ago, the world 24 was probably about 250 million. It reached a billion in 1850. By 1930 the population was two billion. It is 25 three and a half billion. It is expected to double by the year 2000. If the population continues to grow at the same 26 , there would be 25 billion people in the world a hundred years from now.Man has been using the earth’s 27 more and more rapidly over the years. Some of them are almost gone. Now many people believe that man’s greatest 28 is how to control the growth of this population. The materials in the world will not support the human population in time to come if the present rate of increase continues. 29 there is over crowding in the cities and hunger in some countries. Can man’s rate of increa se continue?Many people believe that human survival (幸存者) in the future 30 on the answer to the question.A 21. A. needs B. supplies C. service D. supportsB 22.
