Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.根据下面资料，回答下面试题How men first learned to invent words is unknown ; in other words, the origin of language is a mystery. All we really know is that men, unlike animals, somehow invented certain sounds to express thoughts and feelings, actions and things, so that they could communicate with each other;and that later they agreed upon certain signs, called letters, which could be combined to represent those sounds, and which could be written down. Those sounds, whether spoken, or written in letters we call words.The power of words, then, lies in their combinations-the things they bring up before our minds. Words become filled with meaning for us by experience; and the longer we live, the more certain words recall to us the glad and sad events of our past; and the more we read and learn, the more the number of words that mean something to us increases.Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts, but also express these thoughts in words which appeal powerfully to our minds and feelings. This charming and telling use of words is what we call literary(文字的) style. Above all, the real poet is a master of words. He can convey his meaning in words which sing like music, and which by their position and association can move men to tears. We should thereforelearn to choose our words carefully and use them accurately, or they will make our speech silly and rode.第21题The origin of language______A.is reflected in sounds and lettersB.is handed down from generation to generationC.dates back to the prehistoric periodD.is a problem not yet solved答案：第22题According to the passage, words are______A.visual lettersB.represented by soundsC.represented either by sounds or lettersD.signs called letters答案：第23题The power of words lies in their______A.beautyB.accuracybinationsD.charm答案：第24题The secret of a writer' s success is the use of words that______A.recall to us the glad and sad events of our pastB.are arranged in a creative wayC.are as beautiful as musicD.agree with certain literary style答案：第25题The author of the passage advises us______A.to use words carefully and accuratelyB.not to use silly and rude wordsC.to become a slave of wordsD.to use emotional words答案：根据下面资料，回答下面试题There was one thought that air pollution affected only the area immediately around large cities with factories and heavy automobile traffic. At present, we realize that although these are the areas with the worst air pollution, the problem is literally worldwide. On several occasions over the past decade, a heavy cloud of air pollution has covered the east of the United States and brought health warnings in rural areas away from any major concentration of manufacturing and automobile traffic. In fact, the very climate of the entire earth may be infected by air pollution. Some scientists burning of fossil fuels( coal and oil) is creating a "greenhouse effect"-conserving heat reflected from the earth and raising the world' s average temperature. If this view is correct and the world' s temperature is raised only a few degrees, much of the polar ice cap will melt and cities such as New York, Boston, Miami, and New Orleans will be in water.Another view, less widely held, is that increasing particular matter in the atmosphere is blocking sunlight and lowering the earth' s temperature-a result that would be equally disastrous. A drop of just afew degrees could create something close to a new ice age, and would make agriculture difficult or impossible in many of our top fanning areas. Today we do not know for sure that either of these conditions will happen (though one recent government report drafted by experts in the field concluded that the greenhouse effect is very possible). Perhaps, if we are lucky enough,the two tendencies will offset each other and the world' s temperature will stay about the same as it is now.第26题As pointed out at the beginning of the passage, people used to think that air pollution______A.caused widespread damage in the countrysideB.affected the entire eastern half of the United StatesC.had damaging effect on healthD.existed merely in urban and industries areas答案：第27题As to the greenhouse effect, the author______A.shares the same view with the scientistsB.is uncertain of its occurrenceC.rejects it as being ungroundedD.thinks that it will destroy the world soon答案：第28题The word "offset" in the second paragraph could be replaced by______A.slip intoB.make up forC.set upD.catch up with答案：第29题It can be concluded that______A.raising the world' s temperature only a few degrees would not do much harm to life on earthB.lowering the world' s temperature merely a few degrees would lead many major farming areas to disasterC.almost no temperature variations have occurred over the past decadeD.the world' s temperature will remain constant in the years to come答案：第30题This passage is primarily about______A.the greenhouse effectB.the burning of fossil fuelsC.the potential effect of air pollutionD.the likelihood of a new ice age答案：根据下面资料，回答下面试题Increasingly, over the past ten years, people-especially young people-have become aware of the need to change their eating habits, because much of the food they eat, particularly processed food, is not good for the health. Consequently, there has been a growing interest in natural foods.Foods which do not contain chemical additives (添加剂)and which have not been affected by chemical fertilizers, widely used in farming today.Natural foods, for example, are vegetables, fruit and grain which have been grown in soil that is rich in organic(有机的) matter. In simple terms, this means that the soil has been nourished by unused vegetable matter, which provides it with essential vitamins and minerals. This in itself is a natural process compared with the use of chemicals and fertilizers, the main purpose of which is to increase the amount-but not the quality-of foods grown in commercial farming areas.Natural foods also include animals which have been allowed to feed and move freely in healthy pastures(牧场). Compare this with what happens in the mass production of poultry: there are farms, for example, where thousands of chickens live crowded together in one building and are fed on food which is little better than rubbish. Chickens kept in this way are not only tasteless as food,they also lay eggs which lack important vitamins.There are other aspects of healthy eating which are now receiving increasing attention from experts on diet. Take, for example, the question of sugar. This is actually a non-essential food! Although a natural alternative, such as honey, can be used to sweeten food if it is necessary, we canin fact do without it. It is not that sugar is harmful in itself. But it doesseem to be addictive: the quantity we use has grown steadily over the last two centuries and in Britain today each person consumes an average of 200 pounds a year! Yet all it does is to provide us with energy, in the form of calories. There are no vitamins in it, no minerals and no fiber.It is significant that nowadays fiber is considered to be an important part of a healthy diet. In white bread, for example, the fiber has been removed. But it is present in unrefined flour and of course in vegetables. It is interesting to note that in countries where the national diet contains large quantities of unrefined flour and vegetables, certain diseases are comparatively rare. Hence the emphasis is placed on the eating of whole meal bread and more vegetables by modem experts on"healthy eating".第31题People have become more interested in natural foods because______A.they are more health consciousB.they want to taste all kinds of foodsC.natural foods are more delicious than processed foodsD.they want to return to nature答案：第32题Soil that is rich in organic matters______A.has had chemicals and fertilizers added to itB.contains vegetable matter that has not been consumedC.has been nourished by fertilizersD.already contains large quantities of vitamins and minerals答案：第33题Chickens raised in poultry farms are all of the following EXCEPT that______A.they are fed on food which is little better than garbageB.they live in very crowded conditionC.the eggs they lay lack vitaminsD.they are allowed to move about and eat freely答案：第34题According to the passage,______A.people need sugar to give them energyB.sugar is bad for the healthC.the use of sugar is habit formingD.sugar only sweetens food, but provides us with nothing useful答案：第35题The best title for this passage is______A.People' s Growing Interest in Natural FoodsB.Natural Foods and Healthy DietC.Harmful Effects of SugarD.The Importance of Fiber in Foods答案：根据下面资料，回答下面试题No one knows how man learned to make words. Perhaps he beganby making sounds likethose made by animals. Perhaps he grunted like a pig when he lifted something heavy. Perhaps he made sounds like those he heard all round him-water splashing, bees humming, a stone falling to the ground. Somehow he learned to make words. As the centuries went by, he made more and more new words. This is what we mean by language.People living in different countries made different kinds of words. Today there are about fifteen hundred different languages in the world. Each contains many thousands of words. A very large English dictionary, for example, contains four or five hundred thousand words. But we do not need all these. Only a few thousand words are used in everyday life.The words you know are called your vocabulary. You should try to make your vocabulary bigger. Read as many books as you can. There are plenty of books written in easy English for you to read. You will enjoy them. When you meet a new word, find it in your dictionary. Your dictionary is your most useful book.第36题From this passage, we know that______A.man never made soundsB.man made animal soundsC.man used to be like animals to make soundsD.man learned from the animals to make sounds答案：第37题The number of different languages spoken is about______A.150B.1,500C.5,000D.4,000答案：第38题People from different countries______A.made same wordsB.made different kinds of wordsC.had a same languageed some sounds答案：第39题Man______to make sounds.ed wordsB.followed many things in natureC.lifted heavy thingsD.grunted like a pig答案：第40题You can enlarge your vocabulary by______A.reading more booksB.finding new words in dictionariesC.writing moreing the words in everyday life答案：三．Cloze Directions: There are 10 blanks in the following passage. For each blank there are 4 choices marked A,B, C and D. You should choose the ONE answer that best fits into the passage. Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.根据下面资料，回答下面试题Can you imagine how you would feel if you fell dangerously ill and could not reach or call a doctor? Millions of people(41) the world are inthis unfortunate(42), living in distant places where there are no railways, no proper roads and no telephones. Thousands of lives are lost every year which could have been saved if medical attention(43) in time.But today help could be brought quickly and easily to many of these people if only full advantage was taken of the aeroplane.(44)country has proved this better than Australia.

湖北省成人学士学位英语考试真题试卷全文共6篇示例，供读者参考篇1The Big Grown-Up English TestHey there! My name is Lily and I'm 8 years old. I'm going to tell you all about the super tough English test that my mom had to take recently. It's called the Hubei Province Adult Bachelor's Degree English Exam and let me tell you, it was not easy!My mom has been going to night school for a few years now to get her bachelor's degree. She already has a job, but she wants to get an even better job someday. That's why she's working so hard on her degree. The only problem is that she had to take this massive English test as one of her requirements for graduating. Yikes!A few weeks before the test, my mom started studying like crazy. She had these really thick textbooks and practice test books that she would read every night after coming home from work and making us dinner. Sometimes I would try to read along with her, but the vocabulary words were so advanced that I couldbarely understand any of it. Words like "convoluted" and "superfluous" and "ameliorate"...what do those even mean?!My dad tried to help my mom study too. He's pretty good at English since he uses it at his job sometimes. But even he got stumped by some of the practice questions about grammar rules and essay writing strategies. It all seemed insanely difficult to me.Finally, test day arrived. My mom woke up at the crack of dawn and spent over an hour getting ready. She put on her nicest blouse and slacks and made sure her hair looked perfect. She was so nervous that she could barely eat any breakfast. I gave her a big hug be fore she left and told her "Jiā yóu!" which means "Add oil!" in English. It's what we say in Chinese to wish someone good luck.The test location was at a big university in the city, about an hour's drive away. My dad dropped my mom off and then he came back home to take me and my little brother to the park to kill some time. We played on the swings and seesaws for a while, but I kept wondering how my mom was doing on her test the whole time.Mom said the test had four main sections: Listening, Reading, Writing, and Speaking. For the Listening section, she had to watch videos and answer questions about what she heard. TheReading section had all kinds of passages like news articles, essays, fiction stories and more. She had to read them carefully and then answer comprehension questions.The Writing section actually had two parts - one where she had to write a short essay about a topic, and another where she had to read something and then summarize the main points in her own words. Mom said that part was brutally hard because you had to write so much in a very short period of time. Her hand was cramping up like crazy by the end!Then for the Speaking section, she had to go into a private room and have a conversation with an examiner through a computer. The examiner asked her questions and she had to respond out loud. She said it was nerve-wracking to have someone watching and evaluating her every word like that. Some of the questions were about abstract topics too, which made it even tougher.After what felt like an eternity, the test was finally over. My mom stumbled out of the building looking exhausted. She said her brain was total mush after having to concentrate so intensely for hours and hours. We all went out for a celebratory dinner that night, but my poor mom could barely keep her eyes open!A few weeks later, the results came in the mail. My mom passed We were all jumping for joy. She got's enough points to satisfy the English requirement for her degree program. All that hard work and stress had paid off in the end.My mom told me that preparing for and taking the Hubei Adult Bachelor's English Exam was one of the most difficult challenges she's ever faced. But she's really proud of herself for persevering and achieving her goal. She kept saying that if she can make it through an nuts English test like that, she can conquer anything!I'm just glad that I'm only 8 and don't have to worry about taking any big grown-up tests yet. Give me some simple math or spelling tests any day over that English exam craziness! But I've gotta hand it to my mom - she's amazing. Hopefully I inherited some of her persistence and brainpower, because I'm definitely going to need it when I'm an adult someday too. Tests like that are no joke!Anyway, that's the full scoop on my mom's epic English test experience. The Hubei Adult Bachelor's Exam may have crushed her spirit temporarily, but she emerged victorious in the end. She's one tough lady, that's for sure! I just hope I don't have totake anything even half that difficult when I'm older. An8-year-old can dream, right? Wish me luck!篇2My School DaysHi there! My name is Lily and I'm 8 years old. I'm going to tell you all about my life as a student at Sunny Hills Elementary School. Get ready for an adventure because school is always full of fun and surprises!Every morning, my mom wakes me up bright and early. I get dressed in my favorite outfit – usually something pink with unicorns or rainbows. Then we have a yummy breakfast together. My favorites are pancakes with syrup or scrambled eggs on toast. After that, it's time to grab my backpack and head out the door.The best part of my day is walking to school with my best friend Emma. We live just a few blocks away, so our moms let us walk together. On the way, we play fun games like "I Spy" and make up silly jokes. Sometimes we pretend we're famous pop stars and sing at the top of our lungs!When we get to school, the hallways are always buzzing with excitement. I wave hi to my other friends as we go to ourclassroom. Our teacher, Mrs. Robertson, is really nice. She has a warm smile and loves telling us stories about her travels around the world.The first thing we do is put our things away in our cubbies. Then we gather on the colorful rug for the morning meeting. We go over the day's schedule, talk about what we learned yesterday, and share any good news. I love raising my hand to tell everyone about my new pet hamster or the goal I scored at soccer practice.After that, we get started on our lessons for the day. My favorite subjects are math and art. In math, we learn fun things like adding, subtracting, and working with shapes and patterns. Art class is where I can let my creativity run wild! We paint, sculpt with clay, and do all sorts of messy projects. I'm really good at drawing animals, especially cats.Around noon, we get a break for lunch and recess. The cafeteria always has my favorite foods like pizza, chicken nuggets, and chocolate milk. Then it's time to head outside to the playground! I love going down the big twisty slide and swing way up high on the swings. Sometimes we play group games like tag or hopscotch. Recess is such a blast!In the afternoon, we have quieter subjects like reading and social studies. We go to the library once a week to check out new books. I like choosing adventure stories about kids going on exciting journeys. For social studies, we learn about different countries and cultures around the world. It's so interesting!Before we know it, the final bell rings and it's time to go home. My mom or dad picks me up and I tell them everything I did that day over an after-school snack. Once I'm home, I get to play outside, work on my homework, and spend time with my family.School keeps me busy, but I wouldn't have it any other way! Every day is filled with new things to discover. I get to be with my favorite people – my teachers and all my friends. We have so much fun learning and growing together.I can't wait to see what the rest of my elementary school years will bring. Who knows, maybe I'll join the science club or start taking dance lessons. As long as I'm surrounded by kindness and laughter, I know it'll be amazing. This is just the beginning of my journey! Wish me luck!篇3The Big Bad English TestHiya! My name is Timmy, and I'm in the 5th grade. I'm going to tell you all about this really hard English test that my older cousin Jamie had to take. It's called the Hubei Adult Bachelor's Degree English Exam, and it's for grown-ups who want to get a university degree even though they're already out of school.Jamie is 28 years old, and she works at a factory during the day making plastic bottles. But at night, she studies really hard because she wants to get her bachelor's degree in Business Management. She told me that the English part of the exam is super tough, and she had to practice for months to get ready.So, let me tell you what was on this crazy English test! Jamie said there were four main parts: listening, reading, writing, and translating.The Listening SectionIn the listening part, Jamie had to put on headphones and listen to conversations and talks in English. Then she had to answer multiple-choice questions about what she heard. Jamie said some of the recordings were really fast, and they used lots of idioms and slang that made it hard to understand.One conversation was between two friends talking about going on vacation. Jamie had to pick out details like where theywere going, how long they would be gone, and what activities they planned to do. Another recording was a lecture about the history of the Internet. Jamie had to answer questions about the key events and people mentioned.Jamie told me the listening section was the hardest for her because she doesn't get to practice English listening very often in her daily life. She said she had to train her ears by watching English movies and TV shows over and over again!The Reading SectionNext up was the reading part, where Jamie had to read passages in English and answer comprehension questions. She said some of the passages were news articles about science and technology, while others were excerpts from books and magazines on topics like culture, history, and social issues.For each passage, Jamie had to identify the main idea, understand details and facts, and make inferences about the author's purpose or attitude. She also had to answer vocabulary questions by figuring out the meanings of words based on how they were used in the context.Jamie said one of the hardest things about the reading section was the length of some passages – a few were over 1,000words long! She had to read quickly but carefully to find the information she needed to answer each question.The Writing SectionAfter all that reading and listening, it was time for Jamie to show off her English writing skills. In this part of the test, she had to write a short essay of around 300 words on a given topic.One prompt Jamie had to write about was something like, "In today's world, many people feel pressured to work longer hours and have less free time. What are the causes of this trend, and what can individuals and society do to address it?" Yikes, that's a tough one even for me!Jamie told me she had to plan her essay carefully, organizing her thoughts into an introduction, body paragraphs with supporting details, and a conclusion. She also had to use proper grammar, vocabulary, and writing conventions like paragraphing and punctuation. No texting abbreviations allowed!The Translation SectionLast but not least was the translation part of the test. In this section, Jamie had to translate passages from English into Chinese, and from Chinese into English. Talk about a brain twister!Jamie said some of the English-to-Chinese passages were about topics like business, technology, or current events. She had to make sure she captured the correct meaning and used appropriate vocabulary and phrasing in Chinese.For the Chinese-to-English translations, Jamie had to take texts about Chinese culture, history, or literature and express them accurately in natural-sounding English. She had to be really careful with things like idioms, metaphors, and cultural references that don't translate literally.Jamie practiced translation by reading bilingual books and articles, and she made flashcards with tricky vocabulary words and phrases in both languages. She said this section was all about understanding context and nuance in order to bridge the gap between the two languages.The Grading and ResultsAfter taking this marathon English exam, Jamie had to wait several weeks to get her score report. She told me they grade each section separately – listening, reading, writing, and translation – and then combine those scores into an overall English proficiency level.Jamie was super nervous waiting for her results, because she knew the passing score was really high. She had dreamed of getting her bachelor's degree for so long, and the English test was one of the biggest hurdles.Finally, the scores arrived, and... Jamie passed! She did really well on the reading and writing sections, and just barely squeaked by on the listening and translation parts. All that hard work and practice paid off in the end.Now Jamie is one step closer to earning her Business Management degree. She's already thinking about the next set of exams she'll have to take on subjects like accounting, marketing, and management theory. But at least the English requirement is out of the way!The EndPhew, that was a lot of information about one crazy English test! I can't even imagine having to take an exam like that as a grown-up after being out of school for so many years. Jamie is seriously determined and hard-working to tackle such a huge challenge.I'm just glad my biggest tests right now are my weekly spelling quizzes and the multiplication tables timed tests wehave to do. I'll leave the adult-level English exams to the grown-ups like my cousin Jamie. But who knows, maybe someday I'll be taking difficult tests like that too when I go to university!Anyway, I hope this gave you an idea of what the Hubei Adult Bachelor's Degree English Examination is all about. It's no walk in the park, that's for sure! Let me know if you have any other questions – I'll ask Jamie to explain more about her wild English test adventures.篇4My Big Sister's Crazy TestMy big sister Jenny is in college, but she had to take a really weird test last week that was super hard. It was an English test for grown-ups who want to get a bachelor's degree. Since she's already done most of her degree, she just needed to pass this one big English exam. Boy was she stressed out!A bunch of her friends had to take it too. They all studied like crazy for months, going over grammar rules, reading passages, and practicing writing essays. Even my parents helped quiz Jenny on vocabulary words. Our house was filled with English flashcards and test prep books!The day of the test, Jenny could hardly eat breakfast she was so nervous. I gave her a big hug before she left. "You've got this sis!" I told her. She just took a deep breath and nodded.When she came home after the test, she looked exhausted. "That was honestly one of the hardest things I've ever done," she said, flopping down on the couch. I climbed up next to her, eager to hear all about this mythical English test.First, she told me, there was a listening section where they played audio recordings and asked questions about what they heard. The recordings were on all sorts of topics - lectures, news reports, conversations. And they spoke sooo fast! Jenny said she must have replayed some of them three or four times just to catch everything.Then there was a reading portion with long, dry passages on subjects like science, history and business management. The questions were crazy specific, asking for tiny details buried in the text. Jenny said it was like looking for a needle in a haystack!After that marathon of listening and reading, she had to write two entire essays! The first one was an argument essay, where she had to take a stance on some controversial topic and defend her position with evidence and examples. She wrote hers about whether social media does more harm than good.The second essay had her analyze two different perspectives on an issue, in her case about environmental protection policies. She had to summarize both sides, then give her own opinion on the debate. Her hand was cramping so bad by the end from all that writing!As if that torture wasn't enough, the final section was pure grammar - identifying errors, combining sentences, filling in blanks. English grammar is so weirdly specific with all its little rules and exceptions. Just thinking about it gives me a headache!All in all, the whole brutaltest took almost four hours! When Jenny finished, her brain felt like mush. She rewarded herself with a giant ice cream sundae...which she maybe slightly regretted later when she started feeling sick from stress and exhaustion.Despite the agony, Jenny remained weirdly positive and upbeat about the whole experience. "Hey, it was just one really hard test," she told me. "Doing things that challenge us is how we grow. I'd rather take an insanely difficult English exam than coast through life never being pushed out of my comfort zone."I just shook my head in amazement at my incredible big sister. If I have to take a test like that for a degree someday, I hope I can handle it as gracefully as she did. Though I may justmove somewhere where they don't make grown-ups take crazy English exams!篇5My Big English Exam AdventureHi there! My name is Lily and I'm a 9-year-old student. I have a really exciting story to tell you about a big English exam I took last week. It was called the Hubei Province Adult Bachelor's Degree English Examination. I know that's a super long and fancy name, but it was actually a lot of fun!You might be wondering why a little kid like me was taking such a big test. Well, my mom is going back to university to get her bachelor's degree since she had to drop out when she was younger. She needed to take this huge English exam as part of her program. My mom was really nervous about it since English is pretty hard. That's when I had a brilliant idea! I told my mom "Don't worry, I'll take the test for you!" She didn't believe me at first but I convinced her to let me try.The exam was scheduled for last Saturday morning. On Friday night, I could barely sleep because I was so excited! I dreamed about answering reading comprehension questions and writing perfect essays. I woke up bright and early, put on mylucky skirt and tucked my teddy bear into my backpack for good luck.When we arrived at the test center, I couldn't believe how many people were there! The room was full of adults of all ages. I was definitely the youngest one by far. Some of them even had grandkids my age! A few people gave me weird looks like they couldn't believe a little kid was there to take such an important test. But I just grinned at them and thought "You'll see!"Finally, it was time for the English exam to start. The first section was listening comprehension. The proctor played these recordings of people talking and I had to answer multiple choice questions about what they said. Piece of cake! I listened super carefully and used my amazing memory to answer every question right. Take that, grown-ups!Next up was the reading section. I had to read some pretty long and boring passages and answer questions about the main ideas, details, vocabulary and more. Reading is my favorite subject, so I flew through that part. I remembered all the reading strategies my teacher taught me like making inferences and identifying the author's purpose. I was on fire!Then came the writing section. I had to write an entire essay in English about my future career goals. I decided to write aboutbecoming a zookeeper because I'm obsessed with animals. Using all my best vocabulary and grammar skills, I crafted the most wonderful essay anyone had ever seen. The graders will definitely be impressed!After that monster of an exam was finally over, I was pretty tuckered out. I dreamed about conjugating verbs on the car ride home. When my mom asked me how it went, I gave her a big high five and said "Easiest test ever!" She still couldn't believe I actually did it.A couple of weeks later, the exam scores were posted online. My mom and I logged on with her account info and looked up her score. We both gasped in shock when we saw...a perfect 100% I had rocked that test harder than anyone ever had before. My mom scooped me up in a giant bear hug, jumped around cheering, and told me I was a genius. She promised to take me anywhere I wanted as a reward!So that's the story of how I, a 9-year-old kid, crushed the Hubei Province Adult Bachelor's Degree English Examination. It just shows that with hard work, confidence, and my love of learning, I can do anything! Who runs the world? Kids!篇6My Life at Primary SchoolHi there! My name is Lily and I'm 10 years old. I'm in the 5th grade at Sunny Hill Primary School. Today I want to tell you all about my life as a primary student. Get ready for an exciting story filled with fun, friends and a few valuable lessons along the way!Every morning, my mom wakes me up at 6:30am. I don't like getting up that early, but she says I need enough time to get ready for school. I drag myself out of my warm, cozy bed and head to the bathroom to brush my teeth and wash my face. After getting dressed in my uniform, I go to the kitchen for breakfast. My favorite is mom's homemade dumplings – they're so delicious!At 7:30am, I grab my backpack and lunchbox and head out the door. The walk to school takes about 15 minutes. I enjoy watching the neighborhood come to life – people opening their shops, street sweepers cleaning the roads, and dogs being walked by their owners. Sometimes I see my best friend Amy on the way and we walk together.We arrive at school just before the 8am bell rings. Our first class is usually Chinese language. I find Chinese pretty hard with all the tones and characters to remember. My favorite subjectsare math and art though. I'm really good at solving equations and drawing pictures. During our 20 minute break at 10am, all the students rush outside to run around and play games like jump rope and basketball.The midday break at 12pm is when we each our lunchboxes. My mom packs the best lunches – usually rice, veggies, a piece of fruit and sometimes even a treat like a cookie. After eating, we have more time to play outside before afternoon classes start at 1:30pm. The last few hours always feel so long as I get tired by the end of the day.Finally, the 4:30pm bell rings and we're released from school. Such a freeing feeling! Amy and I usually go to her house to play video games or with her dolls for a couple hours. Her mom makes us snacks like yogurt or cut up apples which gives me an energy boost. At 6:30pm, I have to go home for dinner with my family. We'll eat dishes like kung pao chicken or beef and vegetable stir fry.After dinner, I have an hour or two to relax before starting on my homework around 8pm. I really dislike homework, but my parents say it's important for learning. By 9:30pm, I'm getting ready for bed, taking a shower and putting on my pajamas. I'll read a fiction book for 30 minutes, which I enjoy because itsparks my imagination. Lights are out by 10pm so I can get enough sleep for another busy day tomorrow.My life as an elementary student is a good mix of work and play. Even though school can be tough with all the rules to follow and concepts to learn, I have a lot of fun with my friends playing games during breaks. My parents point out how lucky I am to be getting an education. They say studying hard now will allow me to achieve my dreams in the future. I'm not sure what I want to be when I grow up yet, but I'll keep an open mind to all the possibilities.Overall, being a primary student isn't easy, but it's a key stage in shaping who I'll become. I'm cultivating important skills like discipline, responsibility and social interaction. These early lessons will make me a successful student as I move up to middle school, high school and beyond. For now, I'll do my best to enjoy this carefree period of childhood while it lasts. Keeping a positive attitude and staying focused on my goals is sure to lead me to a bright future!。

CA.A new kind of carB.Public transportationC.The gas shortageD.Poor people35.Which of the following is NOT mentioned according to this passage? CA.Cars have made the nation on wheels.B.Cars have made the United States have a gas shortgeC.Nearly 80%of the American people have cars.D.Cars have made American independent.Passage 4There is a difference between science and technology科学与技术.Science is a method of answering theoretical理论上的空谈的questions;technology is a method of solving解决practical problem实际问题.Science has to do with the facts and relationships关系between observable显著的觉察得到的phenomena现象in nature本质上事实上and with establishing建立确立theories理论that serve to organize组织these facts and relationships;technology has to do with tools工具,techniques技术,and procedures程序规程for implementing实施执行the finding of science.Another distinction区别between science and technology has to do with the progress进度in each.Progress in 在有进展science excludes排除the human factor.Scientists,who seek to comprehend理解领会the universe宇宙and know the truth真相with the highest最高的degree of accuracy精确度and certainty,必然确实cannot pay attention to注意重视their own or other people's likes or dislikes or to popular ideas about the fitness健康适当of things.What scientists科学家discover发现may shock是震惊or anger发怒people-as did Darwin's theory of evolution进化学说.But even甚至即使an unpleasant讨厌的不愉快的truth is more than以上likely to可能be useful;besides除之外,we have the choice of refusing to拒绝believe it!But it's hardly几乎不so with technology and we do not have the choice of refusing to hear the sonic boom音爆produced by出品人a supersonic aircraft超音速飞机flying overhead天花板;we do not have the choice of refusing to breathe呼吸polluted air;and we do not have the choice of living in a non-atomic非原子age.Unlike science progress,technology must be measured in terms of依据按照the human factor.The legitimate合法的purpose of technology is to serve服务people in general总之,not merely some people;and future generantions,not merely those who presently目前不久wish to gain增加advantage for themselves.Technology must be humanistic人文主义人道主义if it is to lead to导致引起a better world.36.Which of the following statements声明about science is NOT true? DA.Scinece provides answers to theoretical questions.B.Scinece seeks to comprehend the universe.C.Scinece aims to discover the inter-connections of facts and rules that explain them.D.Scinece serves people in general and can be measured in terms of the human factor.37.Which of the followig statements about technology is NOT true? BA.Technology provides answer to practical problems.B.Technology seeks to establish theories based on facts.C.Technology helps change the material world.D.Technology has to do with new desings and ways of making the we use in our daily life.38.According to the author,scientific theories .AA.must be strictly严格的完全的objective客观的.ually pay attention to peopleC.should conform to符合遵照popular opinions.D.always convince everyone39.The author states that technology itself .CA.is responsible for pollution and resource exhaustion资源枯竭B.should serve those who wish to gain advantage for themselvesC.will lead to a better world if put to wise useD.will inevitably不可避免的be for bad motivation动机积极性推动40.The tone of the author in this passage is .CA.ironical讽刺的B.critical 鉴定C.factual事实的真实的D.arbitrary任意的Part 3 ClozeDirections:There are 10 blanks in the following passage.For each blank there are 4 choices marked A,B,C and D.You should choose the ONE answer that best fits into the passage.Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Reading is pleasure快乐of the mind心,which means what it is a little like a sport:your eagerness渴望热心and knowledge and quickness急速迅速make you a good 41 B .Reading is fun,not because the writer is telling you something,but because it makes your mind work.Your own 42A works along with the author's or even goes beyond his.Your experience,compared with his,brings you to the same or different 43D ,and your ideas develop 44 c you understand his.Every book stands书架by itself单独的,like a one-family house,but books in a library are like house in a city.Although they are a45 ,together they all add up to合计达something,they are b46 with each other and with other cities.The same ideas,or b47 ones,turn up出现in different places;the human problems that repeat themselves in life repeat重做themselves in literature文学,but win different d48 according to根据按照different writings at different times.Books influence each other相互影响;they b49 the past,the present and the future and have their own 50 c ,like families.Wherever you start reading you connect yourself with one of the families of ideas,and in the long run,you not only find out about the world and the people in it,you find out about yourself,too.41.A.sportsman B.reader读者 C.man D.student42.A.imagination 想象力空想 B.ability C.quality D.skill43.A.results B.places C.books D.conclusions结论44.A.whereas然而 B.unless C.as D.only if45.A.separate B.divided C.lonely D.independent46.A.related B.connected C.charged D.developed47.A.different B.related C.opposite相反的 D.irrelevant不相干的48.A.answers B.measures 措施 C.methods D.solutions49.A.head B.link链环 C.describe D.record50.A.offspring后代 B.friends C.generations 世代 D.relativesA卷：1-5：CADCD 6-10:DACAD 11-15:BDBBD 16-20:ACBAD 21-25: BDDCA26-30: CADAD 31-35: ACDCC 36-40: DBACC41-45 BADCA 46-50 BBDBCB卷：1-5：AABDC 6-10:DCCBD 11-15:AD 16-20:BABBA 21-25:ACCDA 26-30:DCBDD 31-35: CABCB 36-40：DAABA 41-45：ADDBA 46-50.CADCB51. 研究者认为掌握2000至3000个出现频率较高的核心词汇，可能足以帮助学习者越过学习的停滞阶段。

Choose the ONE you think is the best answer，then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage OnePeople often say that the Englishman’s home is his castle. They mean that the home is very important and personal. Most people in Britain live in houses rather than flats，and many people own their homes . This means that they can make them personal，and change them in any way they like. Most houses have a garden ，even if it is a small one，and the garden is usually loved. The house and the garden are the private space of a person. In a crowded city a person knows that he or she has a private space which is only for him or her and for invited friends.People usually like to make their space. If you are on the beach you may have spread your towels around you ; on the train you may have put your coat or small bag on the seat beside you ; in a library you may spread your books around you .Once I was traveling on a train to London ，I was in a section for four people and there was a table between us. The man opposite to me had his briefcase on the table . There was no space on my side of the table at all. I was unhappy . I thought he thought that he owned the whole table.I had been reading a book about nonverbal communication so I took various papers out of my bag and put them on his case! When I did this he suddenly became angry and his eyes nearly popped out of his head. I had taken up his space! A few minutes later I took my papers off in order to read them. He immediately moved his case to his side of the table.21.What does the first sentence in Paragraph 1 mean ?A. The home matters greatly to Englishmen.B. The home is more important than the castle.C. The castle is more important than the home .D. Englishmen usually live in home instead of a castle.22. Which of the following is NOT the reason for most British to live in houses?A. They love their houses more than their gardens.B. They can make changes in the houses where they live.C. They can own private space like the house and the garden.D. They can keep the private space to themselves and friends.23. According to Para.2，if you spread your books around you in the library ，it means ＿.A. you like to spread your books around youB. you can read one of them easily on the tableC. you find no space for your books on the seatD. you want to tell others the space belongs to you24. How did the man opposite to the writer show he owned the whole table?A. He sat in a section for four people.B. He placed his briefcase on the table.C. He was traveling on a train to London.D. He was reading a book on communication.25. The writer tried to get back his space by ＿.A. moving the case off the tableB. reading papers on the briefcaseC. putting papers on the man’s caseD. showing the books concerned to the manPassage TwoTraditional leather men laugh at the claims made for plastic. They say that plastic shoes are hot in summer and cold in winter. It is not so good as leather， and plastic of high quality is not cheap enough to make it profitable for shoemakers to change from leather.This may be true for men， who buy strong ， comfortable and well-made shoes. Women， however， want fashionable shoes， and do not care too muchabout what they are made of as long as they look smart. The high quality of leather needed to make smart and attractive women’s shoes is very expensive and these shoes are so well made that they outlast the rapid changes of fashion. Only a few women can afford to buy a new pair of leather shoes each time the fashion changes.Perhaps there will be two kinds of shoemakers in the future , those making shoes for men and the luxury markets for women， whose material will be leather， and those aiming at the popular market for women. Dose this mean that men will only be able to buy strong，lasting，leather shoes，and women only able to afford cheap， fashionable， plastic shoes made to last only for a few months?26. Which of the three paragraphs represents primarily a guess about the future?A. Only the second.B. Only the third.C. The first and the second.D. The second and the third.27. Women seem more likely to use plastic shoes than men because women ＿.A. are more interested in styleB. don’t want shoes that wear wellC. can’t afford to pay as much for shoesD. focus more on what the shoes are made of28. Women who ＿ will continue to wear leather shoes according to the author.A. are interested in fashionB. want new shoes frequentlyC. search for a bargainD. are wealthy29. The author’s purpose in this passage is primarily to have us ＿.A. become aware of differences between men and womenB. know about modern techniques in shoe makingC. enjoy an interesting story about shoesD. think about future changes in shoes30. What is the author’s attitude about making shoes of plastic?A. He does not express his own attitude.B. He favors them for both men and women .C. He favors them for women but not for men.D. He is against them for both men and women.Passage ThreeIt is difficult to imagine what life would be like without memory. The meanings of thousands of perceptions， the bases for the decisions we make， and the roots of our habits and skills are to be found in our past experiences，which are brought into the present by memory.Memory can be defined as the capacity to keep information available for later use. It includes not only “remembering”things like arithmetic or historical facts，but also involves any change in the way an animaltypically behaves. Memory is involved when a rat gives up eating grain because he has sniffed（闻到）something suspicious in the grain pile. Memory exists not only in humans and animals but also in some physical objects and machines. Computers， for example， contain devices for storing data for later use. It is interesting to compare the memory-storage capacity of a computer with that of a human being. The instant-access memory of a large computer may hold up to 100，000“words”— ready for instant use. An average U.S. teenager probably recognizes the meaning of about 100，000 word of English.However， this is but a fraction of the total amount of information which the teenager has stored. Consider， for example， the number of faces and places that the teenager can recognize on sight.The use of words is the basis of the advanced problem-solving intelligence of human beings. A large part of a person’s memory is in terms of words and combinations of words.31.

Today，millions of American children grow up without fathers， often in poverty. Too often，these children lack the love and guidance they desperately need—and which they would ordinarily receive from two responsible parents. Traditionally，American parents have placed the needs of their children above their own，often delaying their own gratification(享受)or sacrificing material comforts in the interests of their children’s future. At present， however， nearly one half of all new marriages end in divorce，with often troubling consequences for the children involved. Worse， every year， thousands of teenage，unmarried Americans become mothers outside the context of wedlock(婚姻)altogether， with generally disastrous results for the mothers and children alike and for American society more generally. In refreshing contrast， Chinese continue to value intact marriages. This is not to say that Chinese marriages are all perfect –they certainly are not，judging from increasing rates of divorce and extramarital(婚外) affairs—but the willingness of Chinese to set aside their own needs and stay together for the sake of the children is admirable and worthy of study.36.
