Obviously, this was not a practical choice; I came here for more noble reasons. I wanted a broad education that would provide me with flexibility and a value system to guide me in my career. I wanted to open my eyes and expand my vision by interactingwith people who weren't studying science or engineering. My parents, teachers and other adultspraised me for such a sensible choice. They told me I was wise and mature beyond my 18 years, and I believed them.I headed off to college sure I was going to have an advantage over those students who wentto big engineering "factories" where they didn't care if you had values or were flexible. I was going to be a complete engineer: technical genius and sensitive humanist (人文学者)all in one.Now I m not so sure. Somewhere along the way my noble ideals crashed into reality, as all noble ideals eventually do. After three years of struggling to balance math, physics andengineering courses with liberal-arts courses, I have learned there are reasons why few engineering students try to reconcile (协调)engineering with liberal-arts courses in college.The reality that has blocked my path to become the typical successful student is that engineering and the liberal arts simply don't mix as easily as I supposed in high school.Individually they shape a person in very different ways. The struggle to reconcile the two fields of study is difficult.26.The author chose to study engineering at a small liberal-arts universitybecause he .()A.wanted to be an example of practicality and rationalityB.intended to be a combination of engineer and humanistC.wanted to coordinate engineering with liberal-arts courses in collegeD.intended to be a sensible student with noble ideals27.According to the author, by interacting with people who study liberal arts, engineering students can .( )A.balance engineering and the liberal-artsB.receive guidance in their careersC.become noble idealistsD.broaden their horizons28.In the eyes of the author, a successful engineering student is expected .

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet. Passage OneQuestions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage.In bringing up children, every parent watches eagerly the child’s acquisition (学会) of each new skill-the first spoken words, the first independent steps, or the beginning of reading and writing. It is often tempting to hurry the child beyond his natural learning rate, but this can set up dangerous feelings of failure and states of worry in the child: This might happen at any stage. A baby might be forced to use a toilet too early, a young child might be encouraged to learn to read before he knows the meaning of the words he reads. On the other hand, though, if a child is left alone too much, or without any learning opportunities, he loses his natural enthusiasm for life and his desire to find out new things for himself.Patents vary greatly in their degree of strictness towards their children. Some may be especially strict in money matters. Others are severe over times of coming home at night or punctuality for meals. In general, the controls imposed represent the needs of the parents and the values of the community as much as the child’s own happiness.As regards the development of moral standards in the growing child, consistency is very important in parental teaching. To forbid a thing one day and excuse it the next is no foundation for morality (道德). Also, parents should realize that “example is better than precept”. If they are not sincere and do not practise what they preach (说教), their children may grow confused, and emotionally insecure when they grow old enough to think for themselves, and realize they have been to some extent fooled.A sudden awareness of a marked difference between their parents’ principles and their morals can be a dangerous disappointment.11. Eagerly watching the child’s acquisition of new skills ________.A) should be avoidedB) is universal among parentsC) sets up dangerous states of worry in the childD) will make him lose interest in learning new things12. In the process of children’s learning new skills parents ________.A) should encourage them to read before they know the meaning of the words they readB) should not expect too much of themC) should achieve a balance between pushing them too hard and leaving them on their ownD) should create as many learning opportunities as possible13. The second paragraph mainly tells us that ________.A) parents should be strict with their childrenB) parental controls reflect only the needs of the parents and the values of the communityC) parental restrictions vary, and are not always enforced for the benefit of the children aloneD) parents vary in their strictness towards their children according to the situation14. The word “precept” (Line 3, Para. 3) probably means “________”.A) idea B) punishmentC) behavior D) instruction15. In moral matters, parents should ________.A) observe the rules themselvesB) be aware of the marked difference between adults and childrenC) forbid things which have no foundation in moralityD) consistently ensure the security of their childrenPassage TwoQuestions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.These days we take for granted the wide variety of music available on the radio. But, this wasn’t always the case. In the early days of radio, stations were capable of broadcasting only a narrow range of sounds, which was all right for the human voice but music didn’t sound very good. There was also a great deal of crackling and other static noises that further interfered with the quality of the sound.A man named Edwin Armstrong, who was a music lover, set out to change this. He invented FM radio, a technology that allowed stations to send a broad range of frequencies that greatly improved the quality of the music.Now, you’d think that this would have made him a millionaire; it didn’t. Radio stations at that time had invested enormous amounts of money in the old technology. So the last thing they wanted was to invest millions more in the new technology. Nor did they want to have to compete with other radio stations that had a superior sound and could put them out of business. So they pressured the Federal Communications Commission —the department of the United States government that regulates radio stations — to put restrictive regulations on FM radio.The result was that its use was limited to a very small area around New England. Of course as we all know, Edwin Armstrong’s FM technology eventually prevailed and was adopted by thousands of stations round the world. But this took years of court battles and he never saw how itcame to affect the lives of almost everyone.16. What is the passage mainly about?A) The invention of musical recording equipment.B) The role of government in mass communications.C) The emergence of a new technology.D) The similarities between old and new radio stations.17. What was the main disadvantage of early radio broadcasting?A) It was very expensive.B) The sound quality was poor.C) It could only transmit a human voice.D) The signal was transmitted over a small area.18. What was the purpose of Edwin Armstrong by inventing FM radio?A) To make it possible for radio stations to broadcast a broad range of sounds.B) To make other radio stations spend a large sum of money on more research.C) To make himself world-famous and therefore earn more money.D) To make radio stations compete with one another.19. Why did the owners of radio stations react negatively to Armstrong’s invention?A) Its use was too strictly regulated. B) They thought it was unsafe.C) It threatened their business. D) It was of poor quality.20. What does the passage imply about Edwin Armstrong?A) He became a millionaire from his invention.B) He was an accomplished musician.C) He worked for the Federal Communications Commission.D) He died before FM became popular.Passage ThreeQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.Psychologist George Spilich and colleagues at Washington College in Chestertown, Maryland, decided to find out whether, as many smokers say, smoking helps them to “think and concentrate. Spilich put young non-smokers, active smokers and smokers deprived (被剥夺) of cigarettes through a series of tests.In the first test, each subject (试验对象) sat before a computer screen and pressed a key as soon as he or she recognized a target letter among a grouping of 96. In this simple test, smokers, deprived smokers and non-smokers performed equally well.The next test was more complex, requiring all to scan sequences of 20 identical letters and respond the instant one of the letters transformed into a different one. Non-smokers were faster, but under the stimulation of nicotine (尼古丁), active smokers were faster than deprived smokers.In the third test of short-term memory, non-smokers made the fewest errors, but deprived smokers committed fewer errors than active smokers.The fourth test required people to read a passage, then answer questions about it. Non-smokers remembered 19 percent more of the most important information than active smokers, and deprived smokers bested those who had smoked a cigarette just before testing. Active smokers tended not only to have poorer memories but also had trouble separating important information from insignificant details.“As our tests became more complex,” s ums up Spilich, “non-smokers performed better than smokers by wider and wider margins” He predicts, “smokers might perform adequately at m any jobs-until they got complicated. A smoking airline pilot could fly adequately if no problems arose, but if something went wrong, smoking might damage his mental capacity.”21. The purpose of George Spilich’s experiments is ________.A) to test whether smoking has a positive effect on the mental capacity of smokersB) to show how smoking damages people’s mental capacityC) to prove that smoking affects people’s regular performanceD) to find out whether smoking helps people’s short-term memory22. George Spilich’s experiment was conducted in such a way as to ________.A) compel the subjects to separate major information from minor detailsB) put the subjects through increasingly complex testsC) check the effectiveness of nicotine on smokersD) register the prompt responses of the subjects23. The word “bested” (Line 3, Para. 5) most probably means ________.A) beat B) enviedC) caught up with D) made the best of24. Which of the following statements is true?A) Active smokers in general performed better than deprived smokers.B) Active smokers responded more quickly than the other subjects.C) Non-smokers were not better than other subjects in performing simple tasks.D) Deprived smokers gave the slowest responses to the various tasks.25. We can infer from the last paragraph that ________.A) smokers should not expect to become airline pilotsB) smoking in emergency cases causes mental illnessC) no airline pilots smoke during flightsD) smokers may prove unequal to handing emergency casesPassage FourQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.St. Patrick’s Day (March 17) is one of the most important holidays in Ireland. People will wear green shirts, ties, and hair ribbons. Some even dye their hair green because they believe that on that day the color brings them good luck.On St. Patrick’s Day, the Irish around the world traditionally attend church in the morning and have some celebrations in the afternoon. They dance, drink, parade, and feast. A traditional meal includes meat, cabbage and a special Irish beer called Guinness.St. Patrick’s Day is a religious holiday that can be traced back more than one thousand years ago, and it is related to a boy named St. Patrick who became an Irish saint when he grew up.He was born to a wealthy family in Wales around the year 385 AD. But when he was sixteen, a band of raiders(劫掠者)took him as a slave to what is now the neighboring island of Ireland.Patrick lived there for several years. He was so lonely and afraid that he took solace in religion and became a faithful Christian. Later, he returned to Ireland as a missionary, traveling from village to village and talking about his faith. He explained to people the Father, the Son (Jesus), and the Holy Spirit as each of the leaves of a shamrock. There were three leaves, yet they were one plant. From then on, the shamrock, a small plant that grew wild around Ireland, has been a symbol of Ireland and because of it, green is associated with St. Patrick’s Day.26. From the passage, we can infer that ______.A) Patrick lived in Ireland all his lifeB) Patrick’s family was very poorC) Patrick’s life in what is now the neighboring island of Ireland was hardD) Patrick didn’t believe in Christianity27. What is the symbol of Ireland according to this passage?A) St. Patrick. B) Guinness. C) Cabbage. D) Shamrock.28. The underlined word “solace” in Paragraph 5 means ______.A) love B) happiness C) hatred D) comfort29. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A) St. Patrick’s Day is a worldwide holiday.B) St. Patrick’s Day has a long history.C) On St. Patrick’s Day, green is the lucky color in people’s eyes.D) People respect St. Patrick and love him.30. What is the passage about?A) The symbols of St. Patrick’s Day.B) The origin of St. Patrick’s Day.C) St. Patrick’s life. D) The history of St. Patrick’s Day.Part III Vocabulary and Structure (25 minutes) Directions:There are 25 incomplete sentences in this part.

Edward Jenner, a British physician, abandoned the quest for a cure and conquered the disease by finding a way to prevent it. Obviously, it was creative thinking that led to his fruitful work.

BA.She was too young to enjoy life.B.She was happy and loved life.C.She was very sophisticated.D.She was good at school.68) Tom knows his wife is not very interested in him because _____B____ .A.she is always doing houseworkB.she pays him no attention except to kiss him sometimesC.she is always playing tennisD.she is only interested in clothes and make-up69) How did the children behave towards Tom when they were with friends?CA.They were pleased and informal.B.They were rude and formal.C.They were polite and embarrassed.D.They were polite and relaxed.70) What do the family often do when Tom comes into the room?DA.They start laughing and look at him.B.They stop talking and look embarrassed.C.They start talking and laughing.D.They stop laughing and look at him.Passage 2Normally a student must attend a certain number of courses in order to graduate, and each course which he attends gives him a credit which he may count towards a degree.In many American universities the total work for a degree consists of thirty-six courses each lasting for one semester.A typical course consists of three classes per week for 15 weeks: while attending a university a student will probably attend four or five courses during each semester.Normally a student would expect to take four years attending two semesters each year.It is possible to spread the period of work for the degree over a longer period.It is also possible for a student to move between one university and another during his degree course, though this is not in fact done as a regular practice.For every course that he follows a student is given a grade, which is recorded, and the record is available for the student to show to prospective employers.All this imposes a constant pressure and strain of work, but in spite of this some students still find time for great activity in student affairs.Elections to positions in student organizations arouse muchenthusiasm.The effective work of maintaining discipline is performed by students who advise the academic authorities.Any student who is thought to have broken the rules, for example, by cheating has to appear before a student court.With the enormous number of students, the operation of the system does involve a certain amount of activities.A student who has held one of these positions of authority is much respected and it will be of benefit to him later in his career.71) Normally a student would at least attend ____B___ classes each week.A.36B.20C.12D.1572) According to the first paragraph an American student is allowed___B___ .A.to live in a different universityB.to take a particular course in a different universityC.to live at home and drive to classesD.to get two degrees from two different universities73) American university students are usually under pressure of workBecause ____A____.A.their academic performance will affect their future careersB.they are heavily involved in student affairsC.they want to observe university disciplineD.they want to run for positions of authority74) Some students are enthusiastic for positions in student organizationsProbably because ___C__.A.they hate the constant pressure and strain of their studiesB.they will then be able to stay longer in the universityC.such positions help them get better jobsD.such positions are usually well paid75) The student organizations seem to be effective in ____B___.A.dealing with the academic affairs of the universityB.ensuring that the students observe university regulationsC.evaluating students’ performance by bringing them before a courtD.keeping up the students’ enthusiasm for social activitiesPassage 3We find that bright children are rarely held back by mixed-ability teaching.On the contrary, both their knowledge and experiences are enriched.We feel that there are many disadvantages in grading pupils.It does not take into account the fact that children develop at different rates.It can have a bad effect on both the bright and the not-so-bright child.After all, it can be quite discouraging to be at the bottom of the top grade!Besides, it is rather unreal to grade people just according to their intellectual ability.This is only one aspect of their total personality.We are concerned to develop the abilities of all our pupils to the full, not just their academic abilities.We also value personal qualities and social skills, and we find that mixed-ability teaching contributes to all these aspects of learning.In our classrooms, we work in various ways.The pupils often work in groups: this gives them the opportunity to learn to co-operate, to share, and to develop leadership skills.They also learn how to cope with personal problems as well as learning how to think, to make decisions, to analyze andevaluate, and to communicate effectively.The pupils learn from each other as well as from the teacher.Sometimes the pupils work in pairs; sometimes they work on individual tasks and assignments, and they can do this at their own speed.They also have formal class teaching when this is appropriate.We encourage our pupils to use the library, and we teach them the skills they need in order to do this efficiently.An advanced pupil can do advanced work: it does not matter what age the child is.We expect our pupils to do their best, not their least, and we give them every encouragement to attain this goal.76) In the passage the author’s attitude towards “mixed-ability te aching”is ____C___.A.criticalB.questioningC.approvingD.objective77) By “held back” ( line 1) the author means “____D____”.A.made to remain in the same classesB.forced to study in the lower classesC.drawn to their studiesD.prevented from advancing78) The author argues that a teacher’s chief concern should be thedevelopment of the student’s ____B___.A.personal qualities and social skillsB.total personalityC.learning ability and communicative skillsD.intellectual ability79) Which of the following is NOT MENTIONED in the third paragraph? DA.Group work gives pupils the opportunity to learn to work togetherwith others.B.Pupils also learn to develop their reasoning abilities.C.Group work provides pupils with the opportunity to learn to becapable organizers.D.Pupils also learn how to participate in teaching activities.80) The author’s purpose in writing this passage is to ____A___.A.argue for teaching bright and not-so-bright pupils in the same classB.recommend pair work and group work for classroom activitiesC.offer advice on the proper use of the libraryD.emphasize the importance of appropriate formal classroom teachingV. 英汉翻译(English-Chinese Translation)15%Directions: In this part there are five sentences for you to translate into Chinese.Then write the translation on the Answer Sheet.81) I smoke a lot more heavily than I used to.A:我目前抽烟抽得比过去厉害旳多了。

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage 1How often one hears children wishing they were grown up, and old people wishing they were young again. Each age has its pleasures and its pains, and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age gives him without wasting his time in useless regrets.Childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities to make life difficult. If a child has good parents, he is fed, looked after and loved, whatever he may do. It is impossible that he willever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return. In addition, life is always presenting new things to the child — things that have lost their interest for older people because they are too well-known. But a child has his pains: he is not so free to do what he wishes to do; he is continually being told not to do things, or being punished for what he has done wrong. When the young man starts to earn his own living, he can no longer expect others to pay for his food, his clothes, and his room, but has to work if he wants to live comfortably. If he spends most of his time playing about in the way that he used to as a child, he will go hungry. And if he breaks the laws of society as he used to break the laws of his parents, he may go to prison. If, however, he works hard, keeps out of trouble and has good health, he can have the great happiness of building up for himself his own position in society.21. According to Paragraph 2, the writer thinks that _______.A. life for a child is comparatively easyB. a child is always loved whatever he doesC. if much is given to a child, he must do something in returnD. only children are interested in life22. After a child grows up, he_____.A. will have little time playingB. has to be successful in finding a jobC. can still ask for help in time of troubleD. should be able to take care of himself23. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A. People are often satisfied with their life.B. Life is less interesting for old people.C. Adults are freer to do what they want to do.D. Adults should no longer rely on others.24. The main idea of the passage is that ______.A. life is not enjoyable since each age has some painsB. young men can have the greatest happiness if they work hardC. childhood is the most enjoyable time in one’s lifeD. one is the happiest if he can make good use of each age in his life25. The paragraph following the passage will most probably discuss ______.A. examples of successful young menB. how to build up one’s position in societyC. joys and pains of old peopleD. what to do when one has problems in lifePassage 2Every country tends to accept its own way of life as being the normal one and to praise or criticize others as they are similar to or different from it. And unfortunately, our picture of the people and the way of life of other countries is often a distorted (曲解) one.Here is a great argument in favor of foreign travel and learning foreign languages. It is only by traveling in, or living in a county and getting to know its inhabitants and their language that one can find out what a country and its people are really like. And how different the knowledge one gains this way frequently turns out to be true from the second-hand information gathered from other sources! How often we find that the foreigners whom we thought to be such different people from ourselves are not very different after all!Differences between peoples do of course, exist and, one hopes, will always continue to do so. The world will be a dull place indeed when all the different nationalities behave exactly alike, andsome people might say that we are rapidly approaching this state of affairs. With the much greater rapidity and ease of travel, there might seem to be some truth in this at least as far as Europe is concerned. However this may be, at least the greater ease of travel today has revealed to more people than ever before that the Englishman or Frenchman or German is not some different kind of animal from themselves.26. Every country criticizes ways of life in other countries because they are _______.A. distortedB. normalC. similar to each otherD. different from its own27. One who travels in a foreign country and learns its language will ______.A. find out what its people are likeB. argue in favor of this country and the languageC. know the country and its people betterD. like its inhabitants and their language28. The knowledge one gains by traveling in a foreign county is often _______.A. from second-hand informationB. gathered from other sources than from its inhabitantsC. gained from the arguments about the countryD. different from what one had before the travel29. Differences between peoples ________.A. will gradually disappear because of ease of travelB. do exist even though different nationalities behave exactly alikeC. will always continue to exist and the world will be a dull placeD. will not exist as one hopes30. The underlined word “However” most probably means _________.A. somewhatB. by whatever meansC. anyhowD. no matter whatPassage 3We arranged that Kissinger would fly to Vietnam for talks early in July and then stop in Pakistan on the way back. There he would develop a stomachache that would require him to stay in bed and not be seen by the press. Then, with President Yahya’s coope ration he would be taken to an airport where a Pakistan plane would fly him over the mountains to China.Kissinger’s trip was given the code(密码) name Polo after Marco Polo, another Western traveler who made history by journeying to China. Everything went without a hitch. His slight illness in Islamabad received only minor attention from reporters covering him. They accepted the story that he would be confined to bed for at least a couple of days and began making arrangements for their own entertainment.Because of the need for complete secrecy and the lack of any direct communication facilities between Beijing and Washington, I knew that we would have no word from Kissinger while he was in China. Even after he had returned to Pakistan it would still be important to maintain secrecy. So before Kissinger left, we agreed on a single code word —Eureka -which he would use if his mission were successful.On July 11, Al Haig, who knew our code word, phoned me to say that a cable from Kissinger had arrived.“What’s the message?” I asked.“Eureka,” he replied.31. Kissinger stopped in Pakistan because ______.A. he happened to have a stomachacheB. he needed a rest after a long journeyC. he had a secret mission to perform thereD. he did not want to be seen by the press32. The reporters in Islamabad believed that ______.A. Kissinger was not feeling wellB. Kissinger had just come back from VietnamC. Kissinger had put off leaving for ChinaD. Kissinger was preparing to entertain them33. The statement “everything went without a hitch” (Para.2) most probably means that ______.A. nothing was easy with the missionB. the plans were carried out with great difficultyC. things went smoothlyD. there was no possibility of success34. There was no news from Kissinger while he was in Beijing, chiefly because _______.A. his trip had to be kept secretB. President Yahya did not go with KissingerC. communication between Beijing and Islamabad was difficultD. the negotiation(谈判) was not successful35. The passage implies that Kissinger’s message “Eureka” was sent _______.A. when the negotiation started in BeijingB. as soon as he arrived in WashingtonC. when he flew to Vietnam on July 11D. when the negotiation was completed in Beijing Passage 4No country in the world has more daily newspapers than the U.S.A. There are almost 2,000 of them, as compared with 180 in Japan, 144 in Argentina and 111 in Britain. The quality of some American papers is extremely high and their views are quoted all over the world. Distinguished dailies like the Washington Post or the New York Times have a powerful influence all over thecountry. However the Post and the Times are not national newspapers in the sense that The times is in Britain or Le Monde is in France, since each American city has its own daily newspaper. The best of these present detailed accounts of national and international news, but many tend to limit themselves to state or city news.Like the press in most other countries, American newspapers range from the “sensational”, which feature crime, sex and rumor, to the serious, which focus on factual news and the analysis of world events. But with few exceptions American newspapers try to entertain as well as give information, for they have to compete with television.Just as American newspapers give way to all tastes, so do they also try and apply to readers for all political persuasions. A few newspapers support extremist (过激分子) groups on the far right and on the far left, but most daily newspapers attempt to attract middle-of-the-road Americans who are essentially moderate. Many of these papers print columns by well-known journalists of different political and social views in order to present a balanced picture.As in other democratic countries American newspapers can be either responsible or irresponsible, but it is generally accepted that the American press serves its country well and that it has more than once bravely uncovered political scandals (丑闻) or crimes, for instance, the Watergate Affair. The newspapers drew the attention of the public to the fears of the Vietnam War.36. There are fewer national newspapers in ______.A. Britain than in the U.S.A.B. France than in BritainC. the U.S.A. than in Britain or FranceD. France than in the U.S.A. or Britain37. Most American newspapers try to entertain their readers because ______.A. they have to keep up a good relation with themB. they have to compete with televisionC. they have to write about crime, sex and rumorD. they have to give factual news in an interesting way38. Many American newspapers attract readers of different political tendency by ______.A. supporting extremist groups from time to timeB. inviting middle-of-the-road Americans to write articles for themC. avoiding carrying articles about extremistsD. printing articles representing different political viewpoints39. In this passage the underlined word “press” (Para.2) means ______.A. a machine for printingB. the business of printingC. great forceD. newspapers40. The passage is mainly about ______.A. the characteristics of American newspapersB. the development of American newspapersC. the functions of American newspapersD. the merits and shortcomings of American newspapersPart III Cloze (10 points)Directions: There are 10 blanks in the following passage.

Then mark the answer by blanking the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a pencil.If you feel you have a closer relationship with your grandmother on your mother’s side than on you father’s side, it is no surprise to rese archers at the universities of Newcastle and Antwerp. 41 on studies in the Netherlands, they claim that maternal grandparents(外祖父母)are likely to make greater efforts to maintain frequent contact 42 their grandchildren than paternal grandparents(祖父母).They 43 that psychological behaviors related to human evolution are involved: women are always sure of their relationship to their sons or daughters, 44 men can never be wholly certain they are their children biological fathers.Further more, maternal grandparents are always more certain than paternal grandparents 45 a grandchild is related to them: “Thus maternal grandparents may go the extra mile to visit their grandchildren.”The study, 46 by Thomas Pollet and his colleagues, found that for grandparents 47 within 30 km of their grandchildren, more than 30 per cent of maternal grandmothers and 25 per cent of maternal grandfathers had 48 daily or a few times a week. In 49 , this fell to 15 percent for paternal grandparents.Mr. Pollet said: “Even in families where there has been divorce, we found 50 differences.

UnexpectedPart IV Translate from English to Chinese (20 points)Directions: Read the following passage and translate the 5 parts underlined in the following passage from English into Chinese and write them on the Translation Paper.Scientists find that hard-working people live longer than average men and women. Career women are healthier than housewives. Evidence shows that the jobless are in poorer health than jobholders. (51) An investigation shows that whenever the unemployment rate increases by 1%, the death rate increases by 2%. All this comes down to one point, work is helpful to health.Why is work good for health? It is because work keeps people busy away from loneliness. Researches show that people feel unhappy, worried and lonely when they have nothing to do. Instead, the happiest are those who are busy. (52)Many high achievers who love their careers feel that they are happiest when they are working hard. Work serves as a bridge between man andreality. (53)By work people come into contact with each other. By collective activity they find friendship and warmth. This is helpful to health. The loss of work means the loss of everything. It affects man spiritually and makes him ill.(54 )Besides, work gives one a sense of fulfillment and a sense of achievement. Work makes one feel his value and status in society. When a writer finishes his writing or a doctor successfully operates on a patient or a teacher sees his students grow, they are happy beyond words.(55)From the above we can come to the conclusion that the more you work the happier and healthier you will be. Let us work hard and study hard and live a happy and healthy life.Part V Writing (30 points)For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic: Animals—Pets or Sources of Food and Clothing?

For each of them, there are four suggested answers. Choose the one that you think is the best answer.Mark your ANSWER SHEET with a single line trough the center.Questions 11-15 are based on the following passage:Communication is the sending of information or news from one person to another. if human beings could not communicate with one another, each person would have to learn everything for himself, Although animals as well as men can communicate, so far as we know, they can express only the simple emotions like pain,joy,fear,huger of sounds and face movements, but we still have much to learn about these animal languages.Speech is the most important means of communication between people. But it is not the onlyone.Nor is it the oldest.We use facial expressions,gestures and hand movements to express ourfeelings and to send signals to other people. Animals use this “body language”a great deal.Thesign language used by deaf people is an example of communication without speech,while blind people communicate largely through touch and hearing.11,According to the passage, what would happen to us without communication?A.We should learn everything for ourselvesB.We would become unable to speak.C.We couldn’t live happily.D.We might have to do everything by ourselves.12.What does the passage say a about animals’communication?A.They have their advanced language in form of sound.B.They can express simple feelings such as hunger and pain.C.Some of them can communicate with people very well.D.All of them can use sound to express themselves.13.Which of the following statement is true?A.Humans do not have adequate knowledge about animal languages.B.We are now very much aware of animal languages.C.Most of animals use their facial expressiong.D.All animals make sounds to communicate with each other.14.What means of communication is used by most people?A.Facial expressions.B.Body movementsC.Speech.D.Body movement and speech.15.We can infer from the passage that the oldest form of communication between people is_____A.speechB.touch and hearingC.soundsD.body languageQuestions 16-20 are based on the following passage;No woman can be too rich or too thin. This saying often attributed to the late Duchess(公爵夫人)of Windsor embodies much of the odd spirit of our times.Being thin is deemed as such a virtue.The problem with such a view is that some people actually attempt to live by i. I myself have fantasies of slipping into narrow designer clothes.Consequently, I have been on a diet for the better——or worse——part of my life. Being rich wouldn’t be bad either, but that won’t happen unless an unknown relative dies suddenly in some distant land,leaving me millions of dollars.Where did we go off the track? When did eating butter become a sin,and a little bit of extra flesh unappealing,if not repellent?All religions have certain days when people refrain from eating.and excessive eating one of Christianity’s seven deadly sins. However, until quite recently,most people had a problem getting enough to eat. In some religious groups, wealth was a symbol of probable salvation and high morals.and fatness a sign of wealth and well-being.Today the opposite is true.We have shifted to thinness as our new mark of virtue.The result is that being fat——or even only somewhat overweight——is bad because it implies a lack of moralstrength.Qur obsession(迷恋)with thinness is also fueled by health coneerns.It is true that in this country we have more overweight people than ever before,and that,in many cases, being overweight correlates with an increased risk of heart and blood vessel disease.These diseases,however,may have as much to do with our way of life and our high-fat diets as with excess weight.And the associated risk of cancer in the digestive system may be more of a dictary problem——too much fat and a lack of fiber——than a weight problem.The real concern,then,is not that we weigh too much,but that we neither exercise enough norEat well.Exercise is necessary for strong bones and both heart and hing health.A balanced diet Without a lot of fat can also help the body avoid many diseases. We should surely stop paying so Much attention to weight.Simply being thin is not enough.It is actually hazardous if those who get (or already are )thin think they are automatically healthy and thus free from paying attention to their overall lifestyle.Thinness can be pure vainglory(虚荣)16.in the eyes of the author,an odd phenomenon nowadays is that___A.religious people are not necessarily virtuousB.looking slim is a symbol of having a large fortuneC,being thin is viewed as a much desired qualityD.the Duchess of Windsor is regarded as a woman of virtue17.Swept by the prevailing trend,the author____A,had to wear highly fashionable clothesB,had to seek help from rich distant relativesC,had to go on a dier for the greater part of her lifeD.could still prevent herself from going off the track18.In human history,people’s views on body weight___A,changed from time to timeB,led to different moral standardsC,varied between the porr and the richD,were elosely related to their religious beliefs19The author criticizes women’s obsession with thinness__A,from a historical and religious standpointB,from sociological and medical points of vewC,from an economic and educational perspectiveD,in the light of moral principles20.What’s the author’s advice to women who are absorbed in the idea of thinness?A.They should gain weight to look healthy.B.They should be more watehful for ratal diseases.C.They should be more concerned with their overall lifestyle.D.They should rid themselves fantasies about designer clothes.Qnestions 21-25 are baed on the following passage:Even plants can run a fever,especially when they’re under attack by insects or diseasc,But unlike humans, plants can have their temperature taken from 3,000 feet away——straight up.ADecade ago,adapting the infrared scanning technology developed for military purposes and other Satellites,physicist Stephen Paley came up with a quick way to take the temperature of crops to Determine which ones are under stress.The goal was to let framers preciselhy target pesticide(杀虫剂)spraying rather than rain poison on a whole field,which invariably includes plants that don’t have pest(害虫)problems.Even better,Paley’s Remots Scanning Services Company could detect crop problems before they became visible to the eye. Mounted on a plane flown at 3,000feet at nigh,an infrared scanner Measured the heat emitted by crops. The data were transformed into a color-coded map showing Where plants were running “fevers” Farmers could then spot-spray,using 40 to 70 percent less Pesticide than they otherwise would.The bad news is that Paley’s company closed down in 1984,after 40 to 70 percent less pesticide than they otherwise would.The bad news is that Paley’s company closed down in 1984,after only three years,Farmers Resisted the new technology and long-term backers were hard to find.But with the renewed conccrn about pesticides on produce, and fefinements in infrared scanning,Paley hopes to get back into operation.Agriculture experts have no doubt the technology works,”This technique can be used on 75 percent of agricultural land in the United States,”says George Oerther of Texas A&M.Ray Jackson, who recently retird from the Departnt of Agriculture,thisks remote infrared crop scanning could be adopted by the end of the decade.But only if Paley finds the financial backing which he failed to obtain 10 years ago.21.Plants will emit an increased amount of heat when they are____A.sprayed with pesticidesB.facing an infrared scannerC.in poor physical conditionD.exposed to excessive sun rays22.In order to apply pesticide spraying precisely,we can use infrared scanning to___A,estimate the damage to the crops B.measure the size of the affected areaC.draw a color-coded mapD.locate the problem area23.Farmers can save a considerable amount of pesticide by___A.rcsorting to spot-sprayingB.consulting infrared scanning expertsC,transforming poisoned rainD.detecting crop problems at an carly stage24.The application of infrared scanning technology to agriculture met with some difficulties___A.the lack of offieial supportB.its high costC.the lack of financialD.its failure to help increase production25.Infrared scanning technology may be brought bafck into operation because of___A.the desire of farmers to improve the quality of their produceB.growing conccrn about the exccssive use of pesticides on cropsC.the forceful promotion by the Department of AgricultureD.full support from agricultural expertsQuestions 26-30 are based on the following passage:The appcal of advertising to buying motives can have both negative and positive effects.Consumers may be convinced to buy a product of poor quality or high price because of an advertisement.For example,some advertisers have appealed to people’s desire for better fuel economy for their cars by advertising automotive products that improve gasoline mileage.Some ofThe products work.Others are worthless and a waste of consumers’money.Sometimes advertising is intentionally misleading.A few years ago a brand of bread was offered to turned out that the bread was not dietetic(适合于节食的),but just regular bread,There fewercalories because it was sliccd very thin,but there were the same munber of calories in every loaf.On the positive side,emotional appeals may respond to a consumer’s real conccrns. Consider fire insurance.Fire insurance maybe sold by appealing to fear of loss.But fear of loss is the real reason for fire insurance. The security of knowing that property is protected by insurance makes the purchase of fire insurance a worthwhile investment for most people.If consumers consider the quality of the insureance plans as well as the message in the ads,they will bencfit from the advertising.Each consumer must evaluate her of his own situation.Are the benefits of the product important enough to justify buying it ? Advertising is intended to appcal to consumers, but it does not force them to buy the product. Consumers still control the final buying decision.26.Advertising can persuade the consumer to buy worthless products by__A.stressing their high qualityB.convincing him of their low priceC.maintaining a balance between quality and priceD.appealing to his buying motives27.The reason why the bread advertisement is misleading is that__A,thin slices of bread could contain more caloriesB,the loaf was cut into regular slicesC,the broad was not genuine broadD,the total number of calories in the loaf remained the same28.The passage tells us that__A.sometimes advertisements really sell what the consumer needsB.advertisements occasionally force consumers into buying things they don’t needC.the buying morives of consumers are controlled by advertisementsD.fire insurance is seldom a worthwhile investment29.It can be inferred from the passage that a smart consumer should__A.think carefully about the benefits described in the advertisementsB.guard against the deceiving nature of adverisementsC.be familiar with various advertising strategiesD.avoid buying products that have strong cmotional appeal30.The passage is mainly about___A.how to make a wise buying decisionB.ways to protect the interess of the consumerC.the positive and negative aspects of advertisingD.the function of advertisements in promoting salesPart Three ClozeDirections:For each blank in the following passage,choose the best answer from the choices givenbelow.Mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.When television first began to expand,very few of the people who had become famous as radio commentators were able to be effective on television,.Some of the difficulties they exspericnced when were trying to 31 themselves to the new medium were technical.When working on radio.for example,they had become 32 to seeing on behalf of the listener.This 33 of seeing for others means that the commcntator has to be very good at talking.Above all,he has to be able to 34 a continuous sequence of visual images which 35 meaning to the sounds which the listenerhears.In the 36 of television,however,the commentator seeseverything with the viewer.His role,therefore,is completely different.He is there to make 37 that the viewer does not niss some point of interest, to help him focus on particular things,and to 38 the images on the television serene Unlike his radio colleague,he mustg know the 39 of silence and how to use it at those moments 40 the picrures speak for themselves.31.A.turn B adapt C. alter D modify32.A.experienced B.determined C established D accustomed33.A.efficiency B.technology C.art D performance34.A.inspire B.create C.cause D.perceive35.A.add B.apply C.affect D.reflect36.A.occasion B.event C.fact D.case37.A.definite B,possible C,sure D.clear38.A.exhibit B.demonstrate C.expose D.interpret39.A.purpose B.goal C.value D.intention40.A.if B.when C.which D.asPart Four Dialogue CompletionDirections:There are ten short incomplete dialogues between two speakers ,each followed by four choices marded A.B .C and D.Choose the answer that appropriately suits the conversational contest and best completes the dialogue.
