We understand a port as a center of land-sea exchange, and as a major source of livelihood and a major force for cultural mixing. But do ports all produce a range of common urban characteristics which justify classifying port cities together under a single generic label? Do they have enough in common to warrant distinguishing them from other kinds of cities?A port must be distinguished from a harbor. They are two very different things. Most ports have poor harbors, and many fine harbor see few ships. Harbors is a physical concept, a shelter for ships; port is an economic concept, a center of land-sea exchange which requires good access to hinterland(内地) even more than a sea-linked foreland前陆(与内地相对而言). It is landward access, which is productive of goods for export and which demands imports, that is critical. Poor harbors can be improved with breakwaters(防浪堤), and dredging(挖泥)if there is a demand for port. Madras and Colombo are examples of harbors expensively improved by enlarging, dredging and building breakwaters.Port cities become industrial, financial and service centers and political capitals because of their water connections and the urban concentration which arises there and later draws to its railways, highways and air routes. Water transport means cheap access, the chief basis of all port cities. Many of the world’s biggest cities, for example, London, New York, Shanghai, Istanbul, Buenos Air es, Tokyo, Jakarta, Calcutta, Philadelphia and San Francisco began as ports ― that is, with land-sea exchange as their major function ― but they have since grown disproportionately in other respects so that their port functions are no longer dominant. They remain different kinds of places from non-port cities and their port functions account for that difference.Port functions, more than anything else, make a city cosmopolitan. A port city is open to the world. In it races, cultures, and ideas, as well as goods from a variety of places, mix and enrich each other and the life of the city. The smell of the sea and the harbor, the sound of the boat whistles or the moving tides are symbols of their multiple links with a wide world samples of which are present in microcosm(微观世界) within their own urban areas.Sea ports have been transformed by the advent of powered vessels, whose size and draught have increased. Many formerly important ports have become economically and physically less accessible as a result. By passed by most of their former enriching flow of exchange, they have become cultural and economic backwaters or have acquired the character of museums of the past.Much domestic port trade has not been recorded. What evidence we have suggests that domestic trade was greater at all periods than external trade. Shanghai, for example, did most of its trade with other Chinese ports and inland cities. Calcutta traded mainly with other parts of India and so on. Most of any city’s population is engaged in pro viding goods and services for the city itself. Trade outside the city is its basic function. But each basic worker requires food, housing, clothing and other services. Estimates of the ratio of basic workers to service ones range from 1:4 to 1:8.No city can be simply a port but must be involved in a variety of other activities. The port function of the city draws to it raw materials and distributes them in many other forms. Ports take advantage of the need for breaking up the bulk material where water and land transport meet and where loading and unloading costs can be minimized by refining raw materials or turning them into finished goods. The major examples here are oil refining and ore refining which are commonlySFLEP College English (New Edition) Achievement Test (Band 4) 3located at ports. It is not easy to draw a line around what is and is not a port function. All ports handle, unload, sort, alter, process, repack and reship most of what they receive. A city may still be regarded as a port city when it becomes involved in a range of functions not immediately involved with ships or docks.Cities which began as ports retain the chief commercial and administrative center of the city close to the waterfront. The center of New York is in lower Manhattan between two river mouths, the City of London is on the Thames, Shanghai along the Bund. This proximity to water is also true of Boston, Philadelphia, Bombay, Calcutta, Madras, Singapore, Bangkok and Hong Kong, where the commercial, financial, and administrative centers are still grouped around their harbors even though each city has expanded into a metropolis. Even a casual visitor cannot mistake them as anything but port cities.1. A port is different from a harbor in that harbor is a physical concept, while port is an economicconcept.2.Madras and Colombo were originally poor harbors to be improved later on with breakwaters anddredging.3.Shanghai is as important a port city to China as New York to the United States.4.Many formerly important ports have been rendered economically and financially less accessiblesimply because more sea routes have been discovered.5.The majority of any city’s population deals with manufacturing and farming, while the majorityof the population in those ports are engaged in transportation.6.The port functions including separating the bulk material where water and land transport meetand then refining those raw materials to minimize the loading or unloading costs.7.

You are required to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank follow- ing the passage. Readthe passage through carefully before making your choices. Each choice in the bank isidentified by a letter. Please mark the corresponding letter for each item on AnswerSheet 2 with a single line through the center. Y ou may not use any of the words in thebank more than once.Questions 47 to 56 are based on the following passage.As a bicycle kingdom gearing up to become an automobile society, China, the world's third largest car manufacturing base, is facing a serious problem of automobile-related pollution and soaring levels of petrol 47 .China already 48 third among the world's automobile manufacturing countries, with a voracious(饥渴的) domestic demand that has attracted all major automobile manufacturers to 49 . Statistics from the State Environmental Protection Administration show that China will have 33 million automobiles by 2005 and over 131 million by 2020.As the market 50 , so are serious pollution problems. Vehicles have become the biggest carbon monoxide(一氧化碳) and nitrogen oxide(亚硝酰氯) emitters in big cities like Shanghai, Beijing and Guangzhou. In China's 14 largest cities, air pollution takes its 51 on 50,000 newborn babies and causes 400,000 cases of respiratory(呼吸的) illness every year, according to the Ministry of Science and Technology.Not only do vehicles create stress on the environment and human health, a growing automobile society also threatens to 52 China's oil resources. In 2000, vehicles in China consumed 65.6 million tons of oil, one-third of total demand. This expected to rise to 138 million tons annually by 2010 and 53 for 43 per cent of the nation's total oil demand. This figure projected to rise further to 256 million tons by 2020, accounting for 57 per cent of total demandAs a result, China will depend ever more heavily on oil imports ― since the country's domestic oil reserves are quite limited ―the nation's energy security will be greatly affected and the economical development seriously 54 .

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 AnswerSheet 2 with a single line through the center.Passage OneQuestions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.In a moment of personal crisis, how much help can you expect from a New York taxi driver? I began studying this question and found the answers interesting.One morning I got into three different taxis and announced, “Well, it’s my first day back in New York in seven years. I’ve been prison.” Not a single driver replied, so I tried again. “Yeah, I shot a man in Reno.” I explained, hoping the driver would ask me why, but nobody asked. The only response came from a Ghan anian driver, “Reno? That is in Nevada?”Taxi drivers were uniformly(一致地) sympathetic when I said I’d just been fired. “This is America,” a Haitian driver said. “One door is closed. Another is open.” He argued against my plan to burn down my boss’s house: “If you do something silly and they put you away, you cannot look for another job.” A Pakistani driver even turned down a chance to profit from my loss of hope: He refused to take me to the middle of the George Washington Bridge, a $20 trip. “Why you want to go there? Go home and relax. Don’t worry. Take a new job.”One very hot weekday in July, while wearing a red skin mask and holding a stuffed(塞满的) pillowcase with the word “BANK” on it, I tried hailing(招呼) a taxi five times outside different banks. The driver picked me up every time. My ride with Guy Caaude Thevenain, a Haitian driver, was typical of the superb(一流的) assistance I received.“Is anyone following us?”“No,” said the driver, looking in his rearview mirror at traffic and me.“Let’s go across the park,” I said. “I just robbed the bank there. I got $ 25,000.”SFLEP College English (New Edition) Achievement Test (Band 4)9“$25,000?” he asked.“Yeah, you think it was wrong to take it?”“No, man. I wo rk 8 hours and I earn just $70. If I can do that, I do it too.”As we approached 86, Lexington Street, I pointed to the Chemical Bank.“Hey, there’s another bank,” I said, “Could you wait here a minute while I go inside?”“No, I can’t wait. Pay me now.” Hi s reluctance may have something to do with money -- taxi drivers think the rate for waiting time is too low, but I think he wanted me to learn that even a bank robber can’t expect unconditional support.57. From the Ghanaian driver’s response, we can infer that ________.A) he was not caring about the killingB) he was frightened to hear what the writer saidC) he thought the writer was a criminalD) he thought the writer was crazy58. Why did the Pakistani driver refuse to give the writer a ride ?A) He didn’t want to help the writer get over his career crisis.B) He was in a hurry to go home and relax.C) The place was far away.D) He thought the writer was going to kill himself.59. What is the author’s interpretation of the driver’s reluctance “ to wait outside the ChemicalBank”?A) The driver thought that the rate for waiting time was too low.B) The driver thought it wrong to support a taxi rider unconditionally.C) The driver was frightened and wanted to leave him as soon as possible.D) The driver did not want to help a suspect to escape from a bank robbery.60. Which of the following statements is true about New York taxi drivers?A) They are ready to help you do whatever you want to.B) They refuse to pick up those who would kill themselves.C) They are sympathetic with those who are out of work.D) They work only for money.61. The passage mainly discuss ___________________ .A) how to please taxi ridersB) how to deal with taxi ridersC) the attitudes of taxi drivers towards riders in personal troubleD) the attitudes of taxi drivers towards the government.Passage TwoQuestions 62 to 66 are based on the following passage.Tight-lipped elders used to say, “It’s not what you want in this world, but what you get.”Psychology teaches that you do get what you want if you know what you want and want the right things.You can make a mental blueprint of a desire as you would make a blueprint of a house, and10外教社®《大学英语》（全新版）4级学业测试each of us is continually making these blueprints in the general routine of everyday living. If we intend to have friends to dinner, we plan the menus, make a shopping list, and decide which food to cook first and such planning is an essential for any type of meal to be served.Likewise, if you want to find a job, take a sheet of paper, and write a brief account of yourself. In making a blueprint for a job, begin with yourself, for when you know exactly what you have to offer, you can intelligently plan where to sell your services.This account of yourself is actually a sketch of your working life and should include education, experience and references. Such an account is valuable. It can be referred to in filling out standard application blanks and is extremely helpful in personal interviews. While talking to you, your could-be employer is deciding whether your education, your experience, and other qualifications will pay him to employ you and your “ware” and abilities must be displayed in an orderly and reasonably connected manner.When you have carefully prepared a blueprint of your abilities and desires, you have something tangible to sell. Then you are ready to hunt for a job. Get all the possible information about your could-be job. Make inquiries as to the details regarding the job and the firm. Keep your eyes and ears open, and use your own judgment. Spend a certain amount of time each day seeking the employment you wish for, and keep in mind: Securing a job is your job now.62.What do the elders mean when they say, “It’s not what you want in this world, but what youget?”A) You’ll certa inly get what you want.B)It’s no use dreaming.C)You should be dissatisfied with what you have.D)It’s essential to set a goal for yourself.63. WA blueprint made before inviting a friend to dinner is used in this passage as________________.A) an illustration of how to write an application for a jobB) an indication how to secure a good jobC) a guideline for job descriptionD) a principle for job evaluation64. According to the passage, one must write an account of himself before starting to find a jobbecause ___________________.A) that is the first step to please the employerB) that is the requirement of the employerC) it enables him to know when to sell his servicesD) it forces him to become clearly aware of himself65. When you have carefully prepared a blueprint of your abilities and desires, you have something_______________.A) definite to offer B) imaginary to provideC) practical to supply D) desirable to present66. In the author’s standpoint, which of the following items is not among the things that you coulddo after having prepared a blueprint for yourself?SFLEP College English (New Edition) Achievement Test (Band 4)11A) You could gather information about suitable job vacancies in accordance with your blueprint.B) You could find newspaper clippings about the company that is offering your preferred jobs.C) You should make inquiries to the company that are offering jobs or your friends who mayprovide you with some employment information so as to learn the details regarding the job and the firm.D) You should send out your resume to as many companies as possible regardless of thecompany business and job natures.Part V Cloze (15 minutes)Directions:There are 20 blanks in the following passage. For each blank there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D) on the right side of the paper. You should choose the ONEthat best fits into the passage.

Study shows that these conflicts make the excitement of campus life grow grey and have bad effects on both their living and learning.Roommate conflicts often spring from daily trivial things such as time when to turn off the light and space where to store luggage or personal belongings. When personalities don’t mix, the specifics can tear roommates apart and sometimes even lead to serious conflicts. Besides, the fact that roommates hold different attitudes towards certain issue is another factor causing these conflicts.Roommate conflicts are harmful and need to be settled. Though many people think that school discipline can soften the conflicts, I believe learning to be tolerant with each other can play a more constructive role because it teaches students flexibility and the art of compromise. Meanwhile, communication contributes to the solution to this problem since many of these conflicts stem from misunderstanding.Part II Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning)1. Y2. Y3. NG4. N5.

This suggests that politicians who claim environmentalism is yesterday's issue may be seriously misjudging the public mood.A report from Mintel, the market research organization, says that despite recession and financial pressures, more people than ever want to buy environmentally frie ndly products and a “green wave” has swept through consumerism, taking in people previously untouched by environmental concerns. The recently published report also predicts that the process will repeat itself with “ethical” concerns, involving issues such as fair trade with the Third World and the social record of businesses. Companies will have to be more honest and open in response to this mood.Mintel‟s survey, based on nearly 1,000 consumers, found that the proportion who look for green products and are prepared to pay more for them has climbed from 53 per cent in 1990 to around 60 per cent in 1994. On average, they will pay 13 per cent more for such products, although this percentage is higher among women, managerial and professional groups and those aged 35 to 44.Between 1990 and 1994 the proportion of consumers claiming to be unaware of or unconcerned about green issues fell from 18 to 10 percent but the number of green spenders among older people and manual workers has risen substantially. Regions such as Scotland have also caught up with the south of England in their environmental concerns. According to Mintel, an image of green consumerism as associated in the past with the more eccentric members of society has virtually disappeared. The consumer research manager for Mintel, Angela Hughes, said it had become firmly established as a mainstream market. She explained that as far as the average person is concerned environmentalism has not …gone off the boil‟. In fact, it has spread across a much wider range of consumer groups, ages and occupations.Mintel‟s 1994 survey found that 13 per cent of consumers are “very dark green”, nearly always buying environmentally friendly products, 28 per cent are “dark green”, trying “as far as possible” to buy such prod ucts, and 21 per cent are “pale green” —tending to buy green products if they see them. Another 26 per cent are “armchair greens”; they said they care about environmental issues but their concern does not affect their spending habits. Only 10 per cent say they do not care about green issues.Four in ten people are “ethical spenders”, buying goods which do not, for example, involve dealings with oppressive regimes. This figure is the same as in 1990, although the number of' armchair ethical has risen from 28 to 35 per cent and only 22 per cent say they are unconcerned now, against 30 per cent in 1990. Hughes claims that in the twenty-first century, consumers will be encouraged to think more about the entire history of the products and services they buy, including the policies of the companies that provide them and that this will require a greater degree of honesty with consumers.Among green consumers, animal testing is the top issue—48 per cent said they would be deterred from buying a product if it had been tested on animals—followed by concerns regarding irresponsible selling, the ozone layer (臭氧层), river and sea pollution, forest destruction, recycling and factory farming. However, concern for specific issues is lower than in 1990, suggesting thatSFLEP College English (New Edition) Achievement Test (Band 4) 3many consumers feel that government and business have taken on the environmental agenda.1.

You are required to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage. Readthe passage through carefully before making your choices. Each choice in the bank isidentified by a letter. You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once. Questions 47 to 56 are based on the following passage.Major tourist attractions include large cities, seashores areas in warm climates and ski 47 . Indeed, it seems that almost any place can become a tourist 48 as long as it is different from the place where the traveler usually lives. Paris may not be a tourist attraction to a Parisian, but for a New Yorker, it may have many 49 . People travel for any number of reasons, and there are numerous attractions that 50 to a wide variety of tastes.In addition to being major business centers, the large cities offer attractions and entertainment for all kinds of people. Cultural events occur 51 including theatrical and operatic 52 , concerts, ballet, and art exhibitions, to name a few. At the 53 end of the scale, there is a greatSFLEP College English (New Edition) Achievement Test (Band 4)7variety of night life in urban centers to choose from, and there is also a wide selection of restaurants. Shopping is an attraction for many visitors, whether in the great department stores of New York and Tokyo or in the boutiques (流行小店)of Paris and London. The big cities also offer a unique atmosphere and history. The flower vendors and cable cars of San Francisco are part of the unusual atmosphere of that city. And in Paris, the Louvre is not only a museum, but also the 54 of important events in French history.One of the advantages of the big cities is their ability to 55 large numbers of tourists. These cities have an existing infrastructure (基础设施)that is capable of caring for the needs of millions of people; and many of the attractions that tourists visit have been developed primarily for the benefit of the inhabitants. Therefore, tourism is an economic plus for many big cities because it increases income from existing 56 , both public and private.Section BDirections: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) andD). You should decide on the best choice.Passage OneQuestions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.What might driving on an automated highway be like? The answer depends on what land of system is ultimately adopted. Two distinct types are on the drawing board. The first is a special purpose lane system, in which certain lanes are reserved for automated vehicles. The second is a mixed traffic system: fully automated vehicles would share the road with partially automated or manual driven cars. A special purpose lane system would require more extensive physical modifications to existing highways, but it promises the greatest gains in freeway capacity.Under either scheme, the driver would specify the desired destination, furnishing this information to a computer in the car at the beginning of the trip or perhaps just before reaching the automated highway. If a mixed traffic system way was in place, automated driving could begin whenever the driver was on suitably equipped roads. If special purpose lanes were available, the car could enter them and join existing traffic in two different ways. One method would use a special onramp. As the driver approached the point of entry for the highway, devices installed on8外教社®《大学英语》（全新版）4级学业测试the roadside would electronically check the vehicle to determine its destination and to ascertain that it had the proper automation equipment in good working order. Assuming it passed such tests, the driver would then be guided through a gate and toward an automated lane. In this case, the transition from manual to automated control would take place on the entrance ramp. An alternative technique could employ conventional lanes, which would be shared by automated and regular vehicles. The driver would steer onto the highway and move in normal fashion to a “transition”lane. The vehicle would then shift under computer control onto a lane reserved for automated traffic. (The limitation of these lanes to automated traffic would, presumably, be well respected, because all trespassers (非法进入者) could be swiftly identified by authorities.) Either approach to joining a lane of automated traffic would harmonize the movement of newly entering vehicles with those already traveling. Automatic control here should allow for smooth merging without the usual uncertainties and potential for accidents. And once a vehicle had settled into automated travel, the driver would be free to release the wheel, open the morning paper or just relax.57. We learn from the first paragraph that two systems of automated highways____.A) are being planned B) are being modifiedC) are now in wide use D) are under construction58. A special purpose lane system is probably advantageous in that ______.A) it would require only minor changes to existing highwaysB) it would achieve the greatest highway traffic efficiencyC) it has a lane for both automated and partially automated vehiclesD) it offers more lanes for automated vehicles59. Which of the following is TRUE about driving on an automated highway?A) Vehicles traveling on it are assigned different lanes according to their destinations.B) A car can join existing traffic any time in a mixed lane system.C) The driver should inform his car computer of his destination before driving onto it.D) The driver should share the automated lane with those of regular vehicles.60. We know from the passage that a car can enter a special purpose lane______.A) by smoothly merging with cars on the conventional laneB) by way of a ramp with electronic control devicesC) through a specially guarded gateD) after all trespassers are identified and removed61. When driving in an automated lane, the driver_______.A) should harmonize with newly entering carsB) doesn‟t have to rely on his computer systemC) should watch out for potential accidentsD) doesn‟t have to hold on to the steering wheelPassage TwoQuestions 62 to 66 are based on the following passage.SFLEP College English (New Edition) Achievement Test (Band 4)9The process of perceiving other people is rarely translated (to ourselves or others) into cold, objective terms. “She was 5 feet 8 inches tall, had had fair hair, and wore a colored skirt.” More often, we try to get inside the other person to pinpoint his or her attitudes, emotions, motivations, abilities, ideas and characters. Furthermore, we sometimes behave as if we can accomplish this difficult job very quickly—perhaps with a two-second glance.We try to obtain information about others in many ways. Berger suggests several methods for reducing uncertainties about others: watching, without being noticed, a person interacting with others, particularly with others who are known to you so you can compare the observed person‟s behavior with the known others‟ behavior, observing a person in a situation where social behavior is relatively unrestrained or where a wide variety of behavioral responses are called for, deliberately structuring the physical or social environment so as to observe the person‟s responses to specific stimuli; asking people who have had or have frequent contact with the person about him or her; and using various strategies in face-to-face interaction to uncover information about another person—questions, self-disclosures(自我表露), and so on. Getting to know someone is a never-ending task, largely because people are constantly changing and the methods we use to obtain information are often imprecise. You may have known someone for ten years and still know very little about him. If we accept the idea that we won‟t ever fully know another person, it enables us to deal more easily with those things that get in the way of accurate knowledge such as secrets and deceptions. It will also keep us from being too surprised or shocked by seemingly inconsistent behavior. Ironically, those things that keep us from knowing another person too well (e.g., secrets and deceptions) may be just as important to the development of a satisfying relationship as the things that enable us to obtain accurate knowledge about a person (e.g., disclosures and truthful statements).62.The word “pinpoint” (Line 3, Para. 1) basically means______.A) appreciate B) obtain C)interpret D) identify63. What do we learn from the first paragraph?A) People are better described in cold, objective terms.B) The difficulty of getting to know a person is usually underestimated.C) One should not judge people by their appearances.D) One is usually subjective when assessing other people‟s personality.64.It can be inferred from Berger‟s suggestions that ______.A) people do not reveal their true self on every occasionB) in most cases we should avoid contacting the observed person directlyC) the best way to know a person is by making comparisonsD) face-to-face interaction is the best strategy to uncover information about a person65. In developing personal relationships, secrets and deceptions, in the author‟s opinion, are_____.A) personal matters that should be seriously dealt withB) barriers that should be done away withC) as significant as disclosures and truthful statementsD) things people should guard against10外教社®《大学英语》（全新版）4级学业测试66. The author‟s purpose in writing the passage is ______.A) to give advice on appropriate conduct for social occasionsB) to provide ways of how to obtain information about occasionsC) to call the reader‟s attention to the negative side of people‟s charactersD) to discuss the various aspects of getting to know peoplePart V Cloze (15 minutes)Directions:There are 20 blanks in the following passage.

People have to waste more time on their way home or to work and even might be involved in an accident. With the development of industry and population expansion, this problem becomes more and more serious.One solution is to lay down more roads. The solution has many advantages. For example, it can efficiently decrease the number of buses and trucks in many main streets. But it will take up so much land that crowded cities become even more crowded. Another solution is to open more bus lines. If more bus lines should be opened up, the number of bicycles and cars in the main streets would be greatly decreased. But the disadvantage of this solution is that many people would not feel so convenient as they used to.In my opinion, the right solution to the problem is the combination of the two, that is, to lay down more roads in spacious areas and to open up more bus lines in downtown areas.Part II Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning)1.Y2.
