Choos e the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)The elephant was lying heavily on its side, fast asleep. A few dogs started barking at it. The elephant woke up in a terrible anger. It chased the dogs into the village where they ran for safety. That didn’t stop the elephant. It destroyed a dozen houses and injured several people. The villagers were scared and angry. Then some suggested calling Parbati, the elephant princess.Parbati Barua’s father was a hunter of tigers andan elephant tamer. He taught Parbati to rede an elephant before she could even walk. He also taught her the dangerous art of the elephant round-up —how to catch wild elephants.Parbati hasn’t always lived in the jungle. After a happy childhood hunting with her father, she was sent to boarding school in the city. But Parati never got used to being there and many years later she want back to her old life. ―Life in the city is too dull. Catching elephants is an adventure and the excitement lasts for days after the chase.‖ she says.But Parbati doesn’t catch elephants just for fun. My work.‖she says, ―is to rescue man from the elephants , and to keep the elephants safe from man.‖ And this is exactly what Parbati has beendoing for many years. Increasingly, the Indian elephant is angry; for many years, illegal hunters have attacked it and its home in the jungle has been reduced to small piecesof land. It is now fighting back. Whenever wild elephants enter a tea garden or a village, Parbati is called to guide the animals back to the jungle before they can kill.The work of an elephant tamer also involves love and devotion. A good elephant tamer will spend hours a day singing love songs to a newly captured elephant. ―Eventually they grow to love their tamers and never forget them. They are also more loyal than humans.‖she said, as she climbed up one of her elephants and sat on the giant, happy animal.

The authors use data gained through organizational surveys of blue-chip combine in V ancouver, Canada, to try to identify the main cause of employee turnover and whether it is linked to salary growth. Their research focuses on assessing a range of pay structures such ad pay for performance and organizational reward plans. The article is useful as Trevor et al. suggest that there are numerous reasons for employee turnover and a variety of differences in employees’ job attitude and performance. The main limitation of the article is that the survey sample was restricted to mid-level management, thus the authors indicate that further, more extensive research needs to he understaken to develop a more in-depth understanding of employee turn over and job performance. As this article was published in a professional journal, the findings can be considered reliable. It will be useful additionalinformation for the research on pay structures.69.The research paper published is primarily concernrd wltn .A.the titng employee turnoverB.metnods or employee performanceC.factors affecting employee turnover and performanceD.pay structures based on employee performance70.As is mentioned in the card, the limitation of the research paper mainly lies in that .A.the data analysis is hardly reliableB.the research sample is not wide enoughC.the findings are of no practical valueD.the research method is out-of-date71.Who might be most interested in this piece of information?A.Job hunters.B.Employees in blue-chip companiesC.Mid-level managersD.Researchers on employee turnover.(C)The 2012 London Olympics had enough problems to worry about. Rnt one more has just been added-a communications blackout caused by solar storms.After a period of calm within the Sun, scientists have detected the signs of a fresh cycle of sunspots that could peak in 2012, just in time for the arrival of the Olympic torch in London.Now scientists believe that this peak could result in vast solar explosions that could throw billions of tons of charged matter towards the Earth, causing strong solar storms that could jam the telecommunications satellites and internet links sending live Olympic broadcast from London.“The Sun’s next solar maximum whieh could affect the functions of communications satellites,”said Professor Richard Harrison, head of space physics at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in Oxfordshire.At the peak of the cycle, violent outbursts called coronal mass ejections(日冕物质抛射)occur in the Sun’s atrnosphere, throwing out great quantities of eleetrically-charged matter.“A coronal mass ejection can carry a billion tons of solar material into space at over a million kilometers per hour. Such events can expose astronauts to ardeadly amount, can disable satellites,cause power failures on Earth and disturb communidauons,”Professor Harrison added The risk is greatest durihg a solar maximum when there is the greatest number of sunspots.Next week in America, NASA is scheduled to launch a satellite for momtoring solar activity called the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO).which will take images of the Sun that are 10 times clearer than the most advanced televisions available.The Rrofessor Laboratory helped to make the high-tech cameras that will capture images of the (阳耀斑)and explosions as they occur.Rrofessor Richard Holdaway, the lab’s director, said that the SDO should be able to provide early warning of a solar flare or explosion big enough to affect satellite communications on Earth.“If we have advance warning, we’ll be able to reduce the damage. What you don’t want is things switching off for a week with no idea of what’s caused the problent”he said.72. The phrase “communications blachout”in Paragraph 1 most probably reters toDuring the 2010 Olympics.A. the extinguishing of the Olympic torchB. the collapse of broadcasting systemsC. the transportation breakdown in LondonD. the destruction of weather satellites73. What can be inferred about the solar activity desctibed in the passage?A. The most fatal matter from the corona falls onto Earth.B. The solar storm peak occurs in the middle of bach cycle.C. It takes several seconds for the charged matter to reach Earth.D. The number of sunspots declines after coronal mass ejections.74. According to the passage, NASA will launch a satellite to .A. take images of the solar systemB. provide early warning of thounderstormsC. keep track of solar activitiesD. improve the communications on Earth75. Which of the following might be the best tit of the passage?A. Solar Storms: An Invisible Killer.B. Solar Storms: Earth Environment in DangerC. Solar Storms: Threatening the Human RaceD. Solar Storms: Human Activities to Be TroubledSection CDirections. Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each76.Nowadays, millions of people misuse and even overuse pain medication and other drugs. Research by the American Nation Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA,1999)shows that around 2% of the population over age 12 were using drugs non-medically.77.NIDA views medications as a powerful force for good in the contemporary world. They reduce and rempwe pain for millions of people suffering from illness and disease. They make it possible for doctors to perform complicated surgery to save lives. Many people afflicted by serious medical conditions are able to control that symptoms and become active, contributing citizens. NIDA points out that most individuals who take these drugs use them in a responsible manner.78.Nevertheless, overuse of drugs such as opioids, central nervous system(CNS) depressants and stimulants does lead to harmful reliance in some people and is therefore becoming a serious public health concrn Although this abuse affects many people worldwide, particular trends of concern to the mean cal profession in the US appear anong older adults, teenagers and wormen.79.Though it may be a surprise to many, the misuse of medications may be the most common form of drug abuse among the elderly. Dr Kenneth Schmader of Duke University, North Carolina states that although the elderly represent about 13% of the US population, those aged 65 and over account for the consumption of one third of all drugs. People in this age group use medications roughly three times more than the general population and have poorer compliance with instructionfor use. In another study of elderly patients admitted to treatment programs, 70% were women who had ovened medicines.80.Unfortunately, this trend among women does not only affect those aged over 65. In general, among women and men who are using either an anti-anxiety drug or a sedative, women are twiee as likely to become addicted. In addition, statistics compiled for 12-17 year olds show that teenage girls are more likely than teenage boys to begin overusing psychotheraneutic medication such as painkillers, tranquillisers. Stimulants and sedatives.Section DDirections ead the passage carefully.Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.Phys ed(physical education)is making a comeback as a part of the school core curriculum(核心课程),but with a difference.While group sports are still part of the curriculum,the new way is to teach skills that are useful beyond class.Instead of learning how to climb a rone,children are taught to lift weights,balaned their diets and build physical endurance.In this way, kids are given the tools and skills and experiences so they can lead a physically acti life the rest of their life.Considering that 15 percent of American children 6 to 18 are overweight,supporters say more money and thought must be put into phys ed curriculum.In many cases, that may mean not just replacing the old gym-class model with fitness programs but also starting up phys ed programs because school boards often“put P.E. on the chopping block, cutting it entirely or decreasing its teachers or the days it is offered,”says Alicia Moag-Stahlberg,the executive director of Acion for Health Kids.The difference in physed programs is parthy due to the lack of a national standard.“Physical education needs to pepart of the core curriculum,”she added.The wisdom of the new approach has some scientific support.Researcheras at the University of Wisconsin have demonstrated how effective the fit-for-life model of gym class can be. They observed how 50 overweight children lost more weight when they cycled and skied cross-country than when they played sports.The researchers also found that teaching sports like football resulted in less overall movement,partly because reluctant students were able to sit on the bench.Another problem with simply teaching group sports in gym class in that only a tiny perentage of students continue playing them after graduating from high school The new teaches skills that transhate a adulthood.(Note:Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)81.In the new P.E.program,children learn to lift weights, balance their diets and build physical endurance rather than .82.As for P.E.,some school boards either .83.What are the two problems with simply teaching group sports?84.What is the long-term benefit of the new P.E. program?。
大学英语(A)模拟试卷Test 3Information for the examinees:This examination consists of FOUR sections. These are”Section Ⅰ: Reading Comprehension (30 points, 25 minutes)Section Ⅱ:Vocabulary and Grammar (40 points, 25 minutes)Section Ⅲ:Translation (10 points, 10 minutes)Section Ⅳ:Writing (20 points, 30 minutes)The total marks for this examination are 100 points. Time allowed for completing this examination is 90 minutes.Part 2: (20 points, 2 points for each item)Part 2: (20 points, 2 points for each item)Read the following passage and choose the best answer from A, B, C and D.“You’re trying to control my life,” says my nine-year-old son. “I don’t know why you think you can do that, but you can’t.” I received this bit of information after I asked Gabriele to put his dirty socks in the basket. And I get no sympathy from my mother, who says, “You let him have his way from the beginning.”It’s true: I have always asked Gabriele’s opinion, found out how he felt about things—treated him as my peer, not my child. And what have I got from my troubles? A lot of back talk. At least I’m not alone; it’s a complaint heard among parents across the country.It’s not just that we’re confused by the contradictory advice offered in parenting books. The fact is, in an effort to break away from how we were raised—to try something more liberal than our parents’“do it because I say so” approach—our generation has gone too far. “Today’s parents want to be young, so they try to be friends with their children,”says Kathy Lynn, a parenting educator.“When it comes to discipline, our society has gone from one extreme to the other,” says Ron Moorish, a behavior specialist. “We used to use the strap, to intimidate. Then we had permissiveness, and now it’s about giving children choices and allowing them to learn from their own experiences.”Real discipline, says Moorish, is about teaching. “By correcting our children when they do something wrong, we teach them how to behave properly,”he says. But this only works, he emphasizes, if parents regain their position of authority. Children will always be children. The key is for parents to choose to take the time to guide and reach their kids.Rita Munday, a mother of four children, couldn’t believe the dramas that played out in thechildren’s shoe store she operated. She often saw children insist on having the high-priced, brand-name shoes. And even when the mother didn’t want to spend the money, she would give in when the kid started acting up and throwing shoes around.Rhonda Radice, Munday’s younger colleague, is one parent who was has bucked the trend—and is proud of it, “I don’t negotiate with them. Y ou can’t. I’ve seen parents come into the store and bribe their children to behave. You shouldn’t have to buy love and respect.”(393 words)1.The author’s way of treating her son .A.is shared by many parentsB.is encouraged by her motherC.proves to be quite successfulD.shows little concern for the child2.It can be inferred from the passage that .A.parents should learn to make friends with their childrenB.parents need to follow the advice of parenting booksC.today’s children enjoy more freedom than the previous generationD.today’s parents are better at raising children than previous generation 3.According to the passage, to have “discipline” means that parents should .A.adopt the “do it because I say so” approachB.teach their children to understand the rulesC.negotiate with their children for a decisionD.never allow their children to have their ways4.If Ronda Radice is the parent who has “bucked the trend”, which of the following can also be cited as the example for “bucking the trend”?A.Parents buy whatever their children want.B.Parents treat their children as their equals.C.Parents make decisions for their children.D.Parents maintain authority over their children.5.The main point of the passage is to .A.compare different ways of raising childrenB.analyze the problems faced by today’s parentsC.explain the importance of understanding childrenD.point out the mistakes made by the older generationPart 2: (20 points, 2 points for each item)Read the following passage and choose the best answer from A,B,C and D.A report consistently brought back by visitors to the US is how friendly, courteous and helpful most Americans were to them. To be fair, this observation is also frequently made of Canada and Canadians, and should best be considered North American. There are, of course, exceptions. Small-minded officials, rude waiters, and ill-mannered taxi drivers are hardly unknown in the US. Yet it is and observation made so frequently that it deserves comment. For a long period of time and in many parts of the country, a traveler was a welcome break in anotherwise dull existence.Dullness and loneliness were common problems of the families who generally lived distant from one another. Strangers and travelers were welcome sources of diversion, and brought news of the outside world. The harsh realities of the frontier also shaped this tradition of hospitality.Someone traveling alone, if hungry, injured, or ill, often had nowhere to turn except to the nearest cabin or settlement. It was not a matter of choice for the traveler or merely a charitable impulse on the part of the settlers. It reflected the harshness of daily life: if you didn’t take in the stranger and take care of him, there was no one else who would. And someday, remember, you might be in the same situation. Today there are many charitable organizations which specialize in helping the weary traveler. Yet, the old tradition of hospitality to strangers is still very strong in the US, especially in the smaller cities and towns away from the busy tourist trails. “I was just traveling through, got talking with this American, and pretty soon he invited me home for dinner —amazing.”Such observations reported by visitors to the US are not uncommon, but are not always understood properly.The casual friendliness of many Americans should be interpreted neither as superficial nor as artificial, but as the result of a historically developed cultural tradition. As is true of any developed society, in America a complex set of cultural signals, assumptions, and conventions underlies all social interrelationships. And, of course, speaking a language does not necessarily mean that someone understands social and cultural patterns. Visitors who fail to “translate”cultural meanings properly often draw wrong conclusions. For example, when an American uses the word “friend”, the cultural implications of the word may be quite different from those it has in the visitor’s language and culture. It takes more than a brief encounter on a bus to distinguish between courteous convention and individual interest. Yet, being friendly is a virtue that many Americans value highly and expect from both neighbors and strangers.(435 words) 6.In the eyes of visitors from the outside world, .A.rude taxi drivers are rarely seen in the USB.small-minded officials deserve a serious commentC.Canadians are not so friendly as their neighborsD.most American are ready to offer help7.It could be inferred from the last paragraph that .A.culture exercises an influence over social interrelationshipB.courteous convention and individual interest are interrelatedC.various virtues manifest themselves exclusively among friendsD.social interrelationships equal the complex set of cultural conventions 8.Families in frontier settlements used to entertain strangers .A.to improve their hard lifeB.in view of their long-distance travelC.to add some flavor to their own daily lifeD.out of a charitable impulse9.The tradition of hospitality to strangers .A.tends to be superficial and artificialB.is generally well kept up in the United StatesC.is always understood properlyD.has something to do with the busy tourist trails10.What’s the author’s attitudes towards the American’s friendliness?A.Favorable.

Like and skill, cultivating new friendships takes 23 . Walker suggests starting 24 smaller challenges. Interact more with the people you see around you every day. “Often people who are shy imagine they have to 25 to a bar to meet people. But that’s not a great place to meet people. Often it’s a good place to meet troubled people,”he says. Instead, initiate conversations with classmates you haven’t spoken 26 before. Ask how their weekend was. 27 say hello to your neighbor and mention how great his lawn is looking. Compliments, when warranted, are a wonderful way to break the ice.The next step is 28 slightly more ambitious plans for 29 friendships by extending invitations to people whom you would like to become more friendly with. Don’t start off by inviting three couples or so to your home fro a lavish dinner party. You’ll 30 too much pressure on yourself.

The trees appear to have faster growth rates due to longer growing seasons and higher concentrations (浓度) of carbon dioxide in the ___41 .Geoffrey Parker, a scientist at the Smithsonian Environmental Research Centre in Edgewater. Maryland, said that the increase ha the rate of growth was unexpected and might be 42 to the higher temperatures and longer growing seasons documented in the region. The growth may also be influenced by the significant 43 in atmospheric CO2,he said."We made a list of reasons these forests could be growing faster and then excluded half of them,"Dr Parker said. Their study suggests that northern forests may bee increasingly important in44 the influence of manmade CO2 on the climate.Dr Parker and his colleagues have 45 out a detailed record of the trees on a(n) 46 basis since 1987. They calculated that due to the global warming the forest is producing 47 tons of wood each year.The scientists _ 48 _ the land with trees at different stages of growth and found that both young and old trees were showing increased growth rate. More than 90 per cent of the tree groups had grown by between two and four times faster than the scientists had 49 from estimates of the longterm rates of growth.Ⅲ. Reading prehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A,B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.The first attempt of even the most talented artists, musicians, and writers is seldom a masterpiece, If you consider your drafts as dress rehearsals (彩排), or tryouts, revising will seem a natural part of the writing 50 .What is the purpose of the dress rehearsals and the outoftown previews that many Broadway shows go through? The answer is adding, deleting, replacing, reordering, 51 revising. Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical Phantom of the Opera underwent such a process.When Lloyd Webber began writing in 1984, he had in mind a funny, exciting production. However, wh en Phantom opened in London in 1986, the audience saw a moving psychological love story set to music. The musical had. 52 several revisions due, in part, to problems with costuming and makeup (戏服和化妆). For instance, Lloyd Webber 53 some of the music because the Phantom's makeup prevented the actor from singing certain sounds.When you revise, you change aspects of your work in 54 to your evolving purpose, or to include 55 ideas or newly discovered information.Revision is not just an afterthought that gets only as much time as you have at the end of an assignment. 56 , it is a major stage of the writing proc ess, and writers revise every step of the way. Even your decision to 57 . topics while prewriting is a type of revising. However. don't make the mistake of skipping the revision stage that follows 58 . Always make time to bee your own 59 and view your dress rehearsal, so to speak. Reviewing your work in this way can give you 60 new ideas.Revising involves 61 the effectiveness and appropriateness of all aspects of your writing, making your purpose more clearly, and refocusing or developing the facts and ideas you present. When you revise, ask yourself the following questions, keeping in mind the audience for whom you are writing: Is my main idea or purpose 62 throughout my draft? Do I ever lose sight of my purpose? Have I given my readers all of the 63 that is, facts, opinions, inferences that they need in order to understand my main idea? Finally, have I included too many 64 details that may confuse readers?50. A. technique B. style C. process D. career51. A. in particular B. as a result C. for example D. in other words52. A. undergone B. skipped C. rejected D. replaced53. A. rewrote B. released C. recorded D. reserved54. A. addition B. response C. opposition D. contrast55. A. fixed B. ambitious C. familiar D. fresh56.

A. unnecessary B. uninteresting C. concrete D. finalSection BDirections: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For e ach of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)The elephant was lying heavily on its side, fast asleep. A few dogs started barking at it. The elephant woke up in a terrible anger: it chased the dogs into the village whe re they ran for safety. That didn't stop the elephant. It destroyed a dozen houses and injured several people. The villagers were scared and angry. Then someone suggested calling Parbati, the elephant princess.Parbati Barua's father was a hunter of tigers and an elephant tamer. He taught Parbati to ride an elephant before she could even walk. He also taught her the dangerous art of the elephant roundup how to catch wild elephants.Parbati hasn't always lived in the jungle. After a happy childhood hunting with her father, she was sent to boarding school in the city. But Parbati never got used to being there and many years later she went back to her old fife. "Life in the city is too dull. Catching elephants is an adventure and the excitement lasts for days after the chase," she says.But Parbati doesn't catch elephants just for fun. "My work," she says, "is to rescue man from the elephants, and to keep the elephants safe from man." And this is exactly what Parbati has been doing for many years. Increasingly, the Indian elephant is angry: for many years, illegal hunters have attacked it and its home in the jungle has been reduced to small pieces of land. It is now fighting back. Whenever wild elephants enter a tea garden or a village, Parbati is called toguide the animals back to the jungle before they can kill.The work of an elephant tamer also involves love and devotion. A good elephant tamer will spend hours a day singing love songs to a newly captured elephant. "Eventually they grow to love their tamers and never forget them. They are also more loyal than humans," she said, as she climbed up one of her elephants and sat on the giant, happy animal. An elephant princess indeed!65. For Parbati, catching elephants is mainly to .A. get long lasting excitementB. keep both man and elephants safeC. send them back to the jungleD. make the angry elephants tame66. Before Parbati studied in a boarding school, .A. she spent her time hunting with her fatherB. she learned how to sing love songsC. she had already been called an elephant princessD. she was taught how to hunt tigers67. Indian elephants are getting increasingly angry and they revenge because __________.A. they are caught and sent for heavy workB. illegal hunters capture them and kill themC. they are attacked and their land gets limitedD. dogs often bark at them and chase them68. The passage starts with an elephant story in order to explain that in India _________.A. people easily fall victim to elephants' attacksB. the manelephant relationship is getting worseC. elephant tamers are in short supplyD. dogs are as powerful as elephants(B)The following card includes a brief summary and a short assessment of a research paper.It can provide a guide for further reading on the topic.Trevor, C. O., Lansford, B. and Black, J. W., 2004, "Employee turnover (人事变更) and job performance: monitoring the influences of salary growth and promotion", Journal of Armchair Psychology, vol. 113, no.1, pp. 5664.In this article Trevor et al. review the influences of pay and job opportunities in respect of job performance, turnover rates and employees' job attitude. The authors use data gained through organizational surveys of bluechip panies in Vancouver, Canada to try to identify the main cause of employee turnover and whether it is linked to salary growth. Their research focuses on assessing a range of pay structures such as pay for performance and organizational reward plans. The article is useful as Trevor et al. suggest that there are numerous reasons for employee turnover and a variety of differences in employees' job attitude and performance. The main limitation of the article is that the survey sample was restricted to midlevel management, thus the authors indicate that further, more extensive research needs to be undertaken to develop a more indepth understanding of employee turnover and job performance. As this article was published in a professional journal, the findings can be considered reliable. It will be useful additional information for the research on pay structures.69. The research paper published is primarily concerned withA. the way of preventing employee turnoverB. methods of improving employee performanceC. factors affecting employee turnover and performanceD. pay structures based on employee performance70. As is mentioned in the card, the limitation of the research paper mainly lies in that .A. the data analysis is hardly reliableB. the research sample is not wide enoughC. the findings are of no practical valueD. the research method is outofdate71. Who might be most interested in this piece of information?A. Job hunters.B. Employees in bluechip panies.C. Midlevel managers.D. Researchers on employee turnover.(C)The 2012 London Olympics had enough problems to worry about. But one more has just been added a munications blackout caused by solar storms.After a period of calm within the Sun, scientists have detected the signs of a flesh cycle of sunspots that could peak in 2012, just in time for the arrival of the Olympic torch in London.Now scientists believe that this peak could result in vast solar explosions that could throw billions of tons of charged matter towards the Earth, causing strong solar storms that could jam the telemunications satellites and interact links sending five Olympic broadcast from London."The Sun's activity has a strong influence on the Earth. The Olympics could be in the middle of the next solar maximum which could affect the functions of munications satellites," said Professor Richard Harrison, head of space physics at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in Oxfordshire.At the peak of the cycle, violent outbursts called coronal mass ejections (日冕物质抛射) occur in the Sun's atmosphere, throwing out great quantities of electricallycharged matter. " A coronal mass ejection can carry a billion tons of solar material into space at over a million kilometres per hour. Such events can expose astronauts to a deadly amount, can disable satellites, cause power failures on Earth and disturb munications," Professor Harrison added. The risk is greatest during a solar maximum when there is the greatest number of sunspots.Next week in America, NASA is scheduled to launch a satellite for monitoring solar activity called the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO), which will take images of the Sun that are 10 times clearer than the most advanced televisions available.The Rutherford Appleton Laboratory helped to make the hightech cameras that will capture images of the solar flares (太阳耀斑) and explosions as they occur.Professor Richard Hold away, the lab's director, said that the SDO should be able to provide early warning of a so lar flare or explosion big enough to affect satellite munications on Earth "If we have advance warning, we'll be able to reduce the damage. What you don't want is things switching off for a week with no idea of what's caused the problem," he said.72. The phrase "munications blackout" in paragraph 1 most probably refers toduring the 2012 Olympics.A. the extinguishing of the Olympic torchB. the collapse of broadcasting systemsC. the transportation breakdown in LondonD. the destruction of weather satellites73. What can be inferred about the solar activity described in the passage?A. The most fatal matter from the corona falls onto Earth.B. The solar storm peak occurs in the middle of each cycle.C. It takes several seconds for the charged matter to reach Earth.D. The number of sunspots declines after coronal mass ejections.74. According to the passage, NASA will launch a satellite to _ _A. take images of the solar systemB. provide early warning of thunderstormsC. keep track of solar activitiesD. improve the munications on Earth75. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A. Solar Storms: An Invisible KillerB. Solar Storms: Earth Environment in DangerC. Solar Storms: Threatening the Human RaceD. Solar Storms: Human Activities to Be TroubledSection CDirections: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from AF for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.A. Drug overuse and its consequenceB. The problem of drug overuse in AmericaC. Benefits of medicine and its wise useD Female drug overuse with reference to that of malesE Misuse of medicine among the young generationF. Improper use of medicine among senior citizens76 .Nowadays. millions of people misuse and even overuse pain medications and other drugs. Research by the American National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA, 1999) shows that around 2% of the population over age 12 were using drugs nonmedically.77.NIDA viewsmedications as a powerful force for good in the contemporary world. They reduce and remove pain for millions of people suffering from illness and disease. They make it possible for doctors to perform plicated surgery to save lives. Many people afflicted by serious medical conditions are able to control their symptoms and bee active, contributing citizens. NIDA points out that most individuals who take these drags use them in a responsible.78.Nevertheless. overuse of drugs such as opioids, central nervous system (CNS) depressants and stimulants does lead to harmful reliance in some people and is therefore being a serious public health concern. Although this abuse affects many people worldwide, particular trends of concern to the medical profession in the US appear among older adults, teenagers arid women.79.Though it may be a surprise to many, the misuse of medications may be the most mon form of drug abuse among the elderly. Dr Kenneth Schrader of Duke University, North Carolina states that although the elderly represent about 13% of the US population, those aged 65 and over account for the consumption of one third of all drugs. People in this age group use medications roughly three times more than the general population and have poorer pliance with instruction for use. In another study of elderly patients admitted to treatment programs, 70% were women who had overused medicines.80.Unfortunately, this trend among women does not only affect those aged overIn general, among women and men who are using either an antianxiety drug or a sedative,women are twice as likely to bee addicted. In addition, statistics piled for 1217 year olds show that teenage girls are more likely than teenage boys to begin overusing psychotherapeutic medication such as painkillers, tranquillisers, stimulants and sedatives.Section DDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or plete the statements in the fewest possible words.Phys ed (physical education) is making a eback as a part of the school core curriculum(核心课程),but with a difference. While group sports are still part of the c urriculum, the new way is to teach skills that are useful beyond gym class. Instead of learning how to climb a rope, children are taught to lift weights, balance their diets and build physical endurance. In this way,kids are given the tools and skills and experiences so they can lead a physically active life the rest of their life.Considering that 15 percent of American children 6 to 18 are overweight, supporters say more money and thought must be put into phys ed curriculum. In many cases, that may mean not just replacing the old gymclass model with fitness programs but also starting up phys ed programs because school boards often "put P.E. on the chopping block, cutting it entirely or decreasing its teachers or the days it is offered," says Alicia MoagStahlberg, the executive director of Action for Health Kids. The difference in phys ed programs is partly due to the lack of a national standard. "Physical education needs to be part of the core curriculum," she added.The wisdom of the new approach has some scientific support. Researchers at the University of Wisconsin have demonstrated how effective the fitforlife model of gym class can be. They observed how 50 overweight children lost more weight when they cycled and skied crosscountry than when they played sports. The researchers also found that teaching sports like football resulted in less overall movement, partly because reluctant students were able to sit on the bench.Another problem with simply teaching group sports in gym class is that only a tiny percentage of students continue playing them after graduating from high school. The new method teaches sells that translate to adulthood.(Note: Answer the questions or plete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)81. In the new P.E. program, children learn to lift weights, balance their diets and build physical endurance rather than __82. As for P.E., some school boards either83. What are the two problems with simply teaching group sports?84. What is the longterm benefit of the new P.E program?第Ⅱ卷(共45分)I.

That question is “What’s your name?”Everyone gives a different answer, but everyone is correct.Have you ever wondered about people’s names? Where do they come from? What do they mean?People’s first names, or given names, are chosen by their parents. Sometimes the name of a grandparent or other member of the family is used. Some parents choose the name of a well-known person. A boy could be named George Washington Smith; a girl could be named Helen Keller Jones.Some people give their children names that mean good things. Clara means “bright”; Beatrice means “one who gives happiness”; Donald means “world ruler”; Leonard means “as brave as a lion”.The earliest last names, or surnames, were taken from place names. A family with the name Brook or Brooks probably lived near brook(小溪);someone who was called Longstreet probably lived on a long, paved road. The Greenwood family lived in or near a leafy forest.Other early surnames came from people’s occupations. The most common occupational name is Smith, which means a person who makes things with iron or other metals. In the past, smiths were very important workers in every town and village. Some other occupational names are: Carter—a person who owned or drove a cart; Potter—a person who made pots and pans.The ancestors of the Baker family probably baked bread for their neighbors in their native village. The Carpenter’s great-great-great-grandfather probably built houses and furniture.Sometimes people were known for the color of their hair or skin, or their size, or their special abilities. When there were two men who were named John in the same village, the John with the gray hair probably became John Gray. Or the John was very tall could call himself John Tallman. John Fish was probably an excellent swimmer and John Lightfoot was probably a fast runner or a good dancer.Some family names were made by adding something to the father’s name. English-speaking people added–s or –son. The Johnsons are descendants of John; the Roberts family’s ancestor was Robert. Irish and Scottish people added Mac or Mc or O. Perhaps all of the MacDonnells and the McDonnells and the O’Donnells are descendants of the same Donnell.56. Which of the following aspects do the surnames in the passage NOT cover?A. Places where people lived.B. People’s characters.C. Talents that people possessed.D. People’s occupations.57. According to the passage, the ancestors of the Potter family most probably _______.A. owned or drove a cartB. made things with metalsC. made kitchen tools or containsD. built houses and furniture58. Suppose and English couple whose ancestors lived near a leafy forest wanted their new-born son to become a world leader, the baby might be named _______.A. Beatrice SmithB. Leonard CarterC. George LongstreetD. Donald Greenwood59. The underlined word “descendants” in the last paragraph means a person’s _____A. later generationsB. friends and relativesC. colleagues and partnersD. later sponsorsBIt is reported that conservation groups in North America have been arguing about the benefits and dangers of wolves. Some groups believe wolves should be killed. Other people believe wolves must be protected so that they will not disappear from the wilderness(荒野)For Killing WolvesIn Alaska,the wolf almost disappeared a few years ago,because hunters were killing hundredsof them for sport .However.1aws were established to protect the wolves from sportsmen and people who catch the animals for their fur.So the wolf population has greatly increased. Now there are so many wolves that they are destro ying their own food supply.A wolf naturally eats animals in the deer family. People in the wilderness also hunt deer forfood.Many of the animals have been destroyed by the very cold winters recently and by changes in the wilderness plant life.When the deer can’t find enough food,they die.If the wolves continue to kill large numbers of deer,their prey(猎物)will disappear someday.And the wolves will.too.So we must change the cycle of life in the wilderness to balance theecology.If we killed more wolves,we would save them and their prey from dying out.We’d alsosave some farm animals.In another northern state,wolves attack cows and chickens for food.Farmers want thegovernment to send biologists to study the problem.They believe it necessary to kill wolves in some areas and to protect them in places where there is a small wolf population.Against Killing WolvesIf you had lived long ago,you would have heard many different stories about the dangerouswolf.According to most stories,hungry wolves often kill people for food.Even today,the stories of the“big bad wolf'"will not disappear.But the fact is wolves are afraid of people.and they seldom travel in areas where there is a human smell.When wolves eat other animals,they usually kill the very young.or the sick and injured .The strongest survive .No kind of animal would have survived through the centuries if the weak members had lived.And has always been a law of natureAlthough some people say it is good sense to kill wolves,we say it is nonsense!Researchers have found wolves and their prey living in balance.The wolves keep the deer population from becoming too large,and that keeps a balance in the wilderness plant life.The real problem is that the areas where wolves can live are being used by people.Even ifwilderness land is not used directly for human needs.the wolves can’t always find enough food .So they travel to the nearest source,which is often a farm.Then there is danger.The“big bad wolf”has arrived! And everyone knows what happens next.60.According to the passage,some people in North America favor killing wolves for all the following reasons EXCET that .A.there are too many wolves B.they kill large numbers deerC.they attack cows and chickens for food D.they destroy the wilderness plant life 61.Some people are against killing wolves because .A.wolves help to keep the ecological balance in the wildernessB.there is too small a wolf population in the wildernessC.there are too many deer in the wildernessD.wolves are afraid of people and never attack people62.According to those against killing wolves,when wolves eat other animals,.A.they never eat strong and healthy onesB.they always go against the law of natureC.they might help this kind of animals survive in natureD.they disturb the ecological balance in the wilderness63.The last sentence“And everyone knows what happens next”implies that in such cases .A.farm animals will be in danger and have to be shipped awayB.wolves will kill people and people will in turn kill themC.wolves will find enough food sources on farmsD.people will leave the areas where wolves can liveC64.If a Canadian who is on a 7-day trip to New York buys $ 800 CAN worth of goods,how much should he pay tax on when returning home?A. $ 800 CANB. $750 CANC.$ 400 CAND. $ 50 CAN65.For an American citizen on a 2-day tour of Canada,how much tax does he have to pay on$ 1.600 US worth of purchases when returning to the US?A. $ 24 USB. $ 48 USC. $52 USD. $ 200 US66.What documentation should a couple with a 7-year-old child carry when they drive a car from Canada to America?A.

An Air NEXUS card, a U.S. Coast Guard Merchant Marine Document, and a birth certificate.C.Two valid passport cards and a certified copy of a birth certificate.D. A NEXUS card, a U.S. Coast Guard Merchant Marine Document.,and a certified copy of a birth certificate.DImagine,one day,getting out of bed in Beijing and being at your office in Shanghai in only a couple of hours,and then,after a full day of work,going back home to Beijing and having dinner there.Sounds unusual,doesn't it? But it's not that unrealistic,with the development of China’s high —speed railway system.And that’s not a11.China has an even greater high—speed railway plan —to connect the country with Southeast Asia,and eventually Eastern Europe.China is negotiating to extend its own high·-speed railway network to up to 17 countries in 1 0 to 15 years,eventually reaching London and Singapore.China has proposed three such projects.The first would possibly connect Kunming with Singapore via Vietnam and Malaysia.Another could start in Urumqi and go through Kazakhstanand Uzbekistan,and possiblyto Germany.The third would start in the northeast and go north through Russia and then into Western Europe.If China’s plan for the high-speed railway goes forward,people could zip over from London to Beiling in under two days.The new system would still follow China’s high—speed railway standard.And the trains would be able to go 346 kilometers an hour,almost as fast as some airplanes.China’s bullet train(高速客车),the one connecting Wuhan to Guangzhou,already has theWorld’s fastest average speed.It covers 1,069 kilometers in about three hours.Of course,there are some technical challenges to overcome.There are so many issues that need to be settled,such as safety,rail gauge(轨距),maintenance of railway tracks.So,it’s important to pay attention to every detail.But the key issue is really money.China is already spending hundreds of billions of yuan ondomestic railway expansion.China prefers that the other countries pay in natural resources rath er than with capitalinvestment.Resources from those countries could stream into China to sustain development.It’11 be a win-win project. For other countries,the railway network will definitely create more opportunities for business,tourism and so on,not to mention the better communication among those countries.For China,such a project would not only connect it with the rest of Asia and bring some much-needed resources,but would also help develop China’s far west.We foresee that in the coming decades,millions of people will migrate to the western regions,where the land is empty and resources unused.With high-speed trains,people will set up factories and business centers in the west once and for a11.And they’11 trade with Central Asian and Eastern European countries.67.China’s new high-speed railway plan will be a win-win project because .A.China will get much-needed resources and develop its western regionsB.China and the countries involved will benefit from the project in various waysC.China will develop its railway system and communication with other countriesD.the foreign countries involved will develop their railway transportation,business and tourism68.According to the passage,the greatest challenge to the new high-speed railway plan is .A.technical issues B.safety of the systemC.financial problems D.maintenance of railway tracks69.Which of the following words best describes the author’s attitude towards China’s high-speed railway plan?A.Critical.B.Reserved.C.Doubtful D. Positive.70.Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?A.New Railway Standards B.Big Railway DreamsC.High—speed Bullet Trains D.International Railway Network第四部分:任务型阅读(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分)请认真阅读下列短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个..最恰当的单词。

My brothers and I all loved Brownie and did different things with her. One of us would walk her, another would feed her, then there were baths, playing catch and many other games. Brownie, in return, loved each and every one of us. One thing that most touched my heart was that she would go to whoever was sick and just be with them. We always felt better when she was around.One days, as I was getting her food, she chewed up(咬破)one of Dad’s shoes, which had to be thrown away in the end. I knew Dad would be mad and I had to let her know what she did was Wrong. When I looked at her and said, “Bad girl. ” She looked down at the ground and then went and hid. I saw a tear in her eyes.Brownie turned out to be more than just our family pet. She went everywhere with us. People would stop and ask if they could pet her. Of course she’d let anyone pet her. She was just the most lovable dog. There were many dines whe n we’d be out walking and a small child would come over and pull on her hair. She never barked(吠)or tried to get away. Funny thing is she would smile. This frightened people because they thought she was showing her teeth. Far from the truth, she loved everyone.Now many years have passed since Brownie died of old age. I still miss the days when shewas with us.41.What would Brownie do when someone was ill in the family?A.Look at them sadly.B. Keep them company.C. Play games with them.D.

Polite.C. Brave.D. Caring.BWhen you’re lying on the white sands of the Mexican Riviera, the stresses(压力)of the world seem a million miles away. Hey, stop! This is no vacation---yon have to finish something!Here lies the problem fat travel writer and food critic(评论家)Edie Jarolim. “I always loved traveling and always liked to eat, but it never occurred to me that I could make money doing both of those things. ” Jarolim said. Now you can read her travel advice everywhere --- in Arts and Antiques, in Brides, or in one of her three books. The Complete Idiot Travel Guide to Mexico’s Beach Resorts.Her job in travel writing began Some eight years ago. After getting a PhD in English in Canada, she took a test for Frommer’s travel guides, passed it, and got t he job. After working at Frommer’s, Jarolim worked for a while at Rough Guides in London, then Fodor’s, where she fell so in love with a description of the Southwest of the U. S. that she moved there.Now as a travel writer, she spends one-third of her year on the road. The rest of the time is spent completing her tasks and writing reviews of restaurants at home in Tucson, Arizona.As adventurous as the job sounds, the hard part is fact --- checking all the information. Sure, it’s great to write about a tourist attraction, but you’d better get the local(当地的)museum hours correct or you could really ruin someone’s vacation.46.Which country does Jarolim have in now?A.Mexico.B. The U.S.C. The U.K.D. Canada.47.What is most difficult for Jarolim?A.Working in different places to collect information.B.Checking all the facts to be written in the guides.C.Finishing her work as soon as possible.D.Passing a test to write travel guides.48.What do we know about Jarolim from the text?A.She is successful in her job.B.She finds her life full of stresses.C.She spends half of her time traveling.D.She is especially interested in museums.49.What would be the best title for the text?A.Adventures in Travel WritingB. Working as a Food CriticC. Travel Guides on the MarketD. Vacationing for a LivingCThousands of people living in the Chinese capital will celebrate the start of the Chinese New year by heading for the ski resorts (滑雪场). Never mind that Beijing’s dry weather seldom produces snow. It is cold enough in winter for snow --- making machines to make a covering for the hills north to the capital. And the rapid growth of a pleasure --- seeking middle class has formed the basis for this new craze (热潮).Since Beijing’s first ski resort was opened ten years ago, the sport has enjoyed astonishing increase. There are now more than a dozen resorts. Clothes markets in the city have added bright colored ski suits to their winter collections. Mr. Wei, a manager of a newly-opened ski resort in Beijing, sees the growth of an industry that could soon lead Chinese to head for the ski resorts of Europe. In recent years ski resorts offering natural snow have opened in China. But many are in faraway areas of the country and can’t really match the equipment and services of some ski resorts in Europe.Beijing’s skiing craze is partly a result of the recent increase in private(私有的)cars. This has led to the growth of a leisure industry in the capital’s suburbs(郊区), which until the late-1990s were unreachable to ordinary people. According to Mr. Wei, about 40% of the visitors to his resort come in their own cars. The rest are bused in by schools, businesses or government offices.The problem is making money. Starting ski resorts requires quite a lot of money; hiring land from the local government, preparing the hills, buying snow machines, making sure there are enough water and electricity to run them, and buying ski equipment for hiring out to customers.The ski resort where Mr. Wei works cost nearly $4m to set up. And as so often in China when someone comes up with a good idea, many others hash in and price wars break out. Beijing now offers some of the cheapest ski training classes in the world, though with most people rather new to the sport, expecting a few more doing the samejob.50.What does this text mainly talk about?A.Convenience for skiers brought about by private cars.B.Skiing as a new way of enjoying one’s spare time.C.Things to be considered when starting a ski resort.D.A sudden increase of ski training classes in Beijing.51.Why are some Chinese likely to go skiing in Europe?A.To visit more ski areas.B. To ski on natural snow.C. For a large collection of ski suits.D. For better services and equipment.52.The underlined words “leisure industry” in Paragraph 3 refer toA.transport to ski resortsB.production of family carsC.business of providing spare time enjoymentsD part-time work for people living in the suburbs53.What is the main problem in running a ski resort?A.Difficulty in hiring land.B. Lack of business experience.C. Price wars with other ski resorts.D. Shortage of water and electricity.Ariau Amazon TowersDCoolest Hotels in the WorldThe Ariau Amazon Towers hotel lets you sleep in a tree house.

All we assume(推测)is that some early men invented certain sounds, in one way or another, to express thoughts and feelings, actions and things, so that they could talk with each other. Later they agreed upon certain signs, called letters, which could be put together to show those sounds, and which could be written down. Those sounds, whether spoken or written in letters, are called words.The power of words, then, lies in their associations---the things they bring up to our minds. Words become filled with meaning for us by experience; and the longer we tire, the more certain words bring back to us the happy 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 have powerful effects on our minds and feelings. This clever use of words is what we call literary style (文体). Above all, the real poet is a master of words. He can express his meaning in words which sing like music, and which by their position and association can move men to tears. We should therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them correctly, or they will make our speech silly and common.58.We learn from the text that language might have begun with .A.expressionsB. actionsC. signsD. sounds59.What is mainly discussed in Paragraph 2?A.The learning of new words.B.The importance of old wordsC.The relation of human experience with words.D.The gradual change and development of words.60.In the last paragraph, what does the author suggest that we should do?e words skillfully.B. Make musical speechesC. Learn poems by heart.D. Associate with listeners.第二节(共5 小题;每小题1 分,满分5 分)根据对话内容,从对话后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑,选项中有两项为多余选项。

But unlike most of her colleagues(同事),she turned her pain into money. Today she is the boss of Taryn Rose International, a $528 million company that makes nice and comfortable shoes. At the beginning, Rose realized the only thing that could stop her was fear of failure. "I could hear my friends and family saying, Why did you leave a good job? If I failed, would I be okay facing them? And thought ,So what? I can go back for further study in medicine.' I started to accept that it would be okay to say, 'I failed, but I tried.' Once I was comfortable with that fight, the fear came to an end. I realized I feared regret more than failure. And after you turn to the path you choose, there is nothing acceptable but Success" Now, Rose has no regrets about leaving medicine. "What I'm doing is not all that different from what I was doing as a doctor. The goal is the same: to relieve (减轻) pain. A former professor told me: 'You're helping hundreds of thousands of women with your shoes. As a doctor, you would have helped only the few who went to your office. You're having a much greater effect.' Looking back, Rose admits she caught a couple of lucky breaks. "To me, luck is about being prepared for those opportunities (机会) that come knocking. You have to have an open mind, the right skilis and all your senses working to see what opportunities present themselves. Luck can open the door, but you still have to walk through it." 31. Before starting her shoe business, Taryn Rose was a A. nurse B. worker C. doctor D. boss 32. Rose realized later was the most fearful for her to have or face in her job change. A. failure B. regret C. family D. colleagues 33. What did her former professor think about Rose and her new job? A. She doesn't have to meet many people in her office. B. Her new work is qtiite different from her old job. C. She can now serve more people than before. D. Her new work is much more difficult. 34. Which of the following can best explain the last sentence in the passage? A. You have to do what you can after luck brings you opportunities. B. You should open the door when opportunities come to you. C: You have to be prepared for walking through the door. D. You should open your eyes to see opportunities clearly. B
