I am not talking only about the times when you see her at school. She often has a book with her when she is shopping , riding in the car , going to see relatives, or doing just about anything where there might be an opportunity ( 机会) to read . Now , you might think Sally is a bookworm (书呆子) , but that would not be accurate because she also enjoys spending a lot of time with her friends and doing lots of different things . Very simply put , books are one of Sally’s main hobbies .People practice their hobbies in many different ways .Some people like to collect stamps , others like to listen to music or go to the movies , and still others like to travel and visit new places . Sally likes to read books --- many different kinds of books. When she finds a good book in the library , she usually borrows it to investigate (研究) more deeply . She also likes to go to a large bookstore near her home, where she can see all kinds of new books and sometimes buy one that she likes.Sally’s love of books has made it a lot easier for her to do well in school because, after all, you do have to read a lot of books in your classes. When Sally gets an assignment and has to read a chapter, it almost seems like she is practicing her hobby . The books she uses in her classes are written very clearly and are really quite interesting. The only different thing is that sometimes she has to do a written exercise for homework. To Sally that seems like a small price to pay for the opportunity to read another book about something new and interesting. As Sally has read so many books and learned so many new words, she usually only has to do an assigned reading once because she understands just about everything the first time through.1.What is Sally usually doing when you see her?A)She is shopping.B)She is riding in a car.C)She is carrying a book under her arm.D)She is reading in a classroom.2.Why is it not accurate to say that Sally is a bookworm?A)Because reading is just one of her hobbies.B)Because she practices her hobbies in very simple ways.C)Because books make her look like a student.D)Because she does everything better than other people.3.The writer talks about people’s different hobbies in the second paragraph in order to tellus________.A)how many hobbies there might be among different peopleB)that reading is something that everybody likes to doC)why Sally likes reading more than other hobbiesD)that reading is a healthier hobby than other hobbies4.Sally finds it easier for her to do well in school because __________.A)through reading she has learnt a lot alreadyB)the books she uses in her classes are interestingC)once she finishes a book , she never reads it againD)she pays a small price for the opportunity to read her books5. What does Sally not like to do according to the third paragraph?A) Fast reading. B) Reading assignments.C) Chapter questions. D) Written exercises.Task 2 (10%)Directions: Reading the following passages and choose the best answer for each of the questions.No matter how you look on paper, no matter how well you present yourself, no matter how well you answer their questions, you will not get the job unless you make a personal connection with the interviewer. I need to know from the very start that you are someone I can trust to represent my company and me. How do you establish that trust? Simple. At the very beginning of the interview, when the introductions are being made, concentrate on looking directly and solidly into the interviewers’ eyes, giving them your sweetest and most endearing smile. I tend to think of it as a “shy smile”. The bottom lin e is to make it a warm and friendly smile. Then think about the fact that you are truly pleased to be there in the presence of this person. Establish that personal connection both physically and mentally with the interviewer.How do you know when the connection is made? When they return your smile in a comfortable, relaxed manner, you are connected and ready to communicate on a personal level. Remember, I only hire people I am comfortable with. If the connection is not made, I won’t hire. So take the time t o establish that personal connection.6. Which of the following is the most important factor for you to get the job?A) To wear formally and tidily.B) To prepare a good paper and all the materials needed.C) To present myself as well as possible.D) To make a personal connection with the interviewer.7.

How do you know when the personal connection is made?A) When the interviewer asks the questions with a smile.B) When the interviewer smiles during the whole interview.C) When the interviewee smiles during the whole interview.D) When the interviewer returns the interviewee’s smile in a comfortable, relax manner.10.Which of the following would be the most proper title of the passage?A) How to Establish Personal Connection in an InterviewB) What You Should Do in an InterviewC) How an Interviewee Can Be HiredD) The Role of Personal CommunicationTask 3 (10%)Directions:Reading the following passages and choose the best answer for each of the questions.The entertainment profession, or “show business”, attracts many young people. Unfortunately, only very few can hope to become famous. Talent is not enough, because show business is as competitive as any other business. Without a good manager, a performer can never hope to succeed. Fashion is important in his business, too. The best tailor in the world will never be a success if he makes old-fashioned clothes. In exactly the same way, a performer must change his “act” in order to follow the taste of the moment. This is true for actors, dancers and comedians, but perhaps most of all for singers.“Pop” stands for “ popular”, and a pop singer has to work very hard to become popular. He must either give the public what they already want, or he must find a new way of singing that will attract their attention. Even when he has succeeded, and his records are sold everywhere, he cannot relax. Then he must work harder than ever to remain popular, because there are always younger singers trying to become famous and to steal some of the popularity.The life of a successful pop singer is not at all easy. He can only relax when he is alone, becauseeverything he does is watched and reported in the special newspaper written for the“fans”. The fans are the most important people in the world for the singer. They buy his records, they go to his concerts, and they make him rich and famous. But they can be very annoying, too. Sometimes they get so crazy that they do anything to get a “souvenir”. They steal handkerchiefs, they tear off buttons, and they even cut off pieces of the unfortunate singer’s hair.Many singers have been forced to hide, and some who have not been so lucky as to escape have been stripped practically naked by their fans. A pop singer has to spend a lot of money on clothes, because he must always look smart, or, at any rate, different. He must have a luxurious car. And most important he must always keep smiling for the benefit of his public.11. How many of the young can hope to become famous?A) Nobody. B) Only very few.C) The majority of them. D) All of them.12. Which of the following is the key element to become a successful performer?A) The age. B) Education background.C) A wealthy family. D) A good manager.13. Why must a pop singer work harder when he has become famous?A) To sell more records. B) To follow the taste of the moment.C) To stay popular. D) To attract the public’s attention.14. It may be inferred from this passage that_______ .A) a pop singer is afraid of meeting his fansB) some people become pop singers by chanceC) a pop singer sometimes is unwilling to meet peopleD) pop singers have to smile all the time15. A suitable title for this passage might be_______ .A) “The Entertainment Profession” B) “How to Become a Pop Singer”C) “A Pop Singer’s Life” D) “The Pop Singer”Task 4 (10%)Directions: Reading the following passages and choose the best answer for each of the questions.Dear Sir or Madam,The ABC Company was established in 2006 and in four short years has become one of the most successful companies in the market place.

Reading comprehension 40%Passage oneAs supplier of most of the food we eat and of raw material for many industrial processes, agriculture is clearly an important area of the economy. But the productive performance of agriculture is even more important than this, because in nations where the productivity of farmers is low, most of the working population is needed to raise food and few people are available for production of industrial goods or of other activities required for economic growth. Indeed, one of the factors related most closely to the per capita income of a nation is the number of its population engaged in farming. In the poorest nations of the world, more than half of the population lives on farms. This compares sharply with less than 10 percent in Western Europe and less than 4 percent in the United States. In short, the course of economic development in general depends in a fundamental way on the productive performance of farmers. This performance, in turn, depends on how agriculture is organized and on the economic environment, or market structure, within which it works. In the following pages the performance of American agriculture is examined. It is reasonable to begin with a consideration of its market structure.1. This passage is most probably part of .A) a news item B) an advertisement C) a lecture D) an article2. What is most important to agriculture is .A) its productive performanceB) the per capita income of farmersC) the amount of food it producesD) the production of industrial goods3. The word “this” (line 4) refers to .A) the productivity of farmersB) the provision of food and raw materialsC) the production of investment goodsD) the economy as a whole4. The performance of farmers essentially determines .A) the size of the working populationB) the organization of agricultureC) the market structureD) the general development of economy5. This passage will most probably be followed by a discussion of .A) the market structure of American agricultureB) the structure of American farming populationC) the various functions of American agricultureD) the organization of American agriculturePassage twoIn ancient time the most important examinations were spoken, not written. In the schools of ancient Greece and Rome, testing usually consisted of saying poetry aloud or giving speeches.In the European universities of the Middle Ages, students who were working for advanced degrees had to discuss questions in their field of study with people who had made a special study of the subject. This custom exists today as part of the process of testing students for the doctor’s degree.Generally, however, modern examinations are written. The written examination, where all students are tested on the same questions, was probably not known until the nineteenth century. Perhaps it came into existence with the great increase in population and development of modern industry. A room full of students for a state examination, timed exactly by electric clocks and carefully watched over by managers, resembles a group of workers at an automobile factory. Certainly, during examinations teachers and students are expected to act like machines.One type of test is sometimes called an objective test. It is intended to deal with facts, not personal opinions. To set an objective test the teacher writes a series of questions, each of which has only one correct answer. Along with each question the teacher writes the correct answer and also three statements that look like answers to students who have not learned the material properly.6. In the Middle Ages students .A) took objective tests B) were timed by electric clocksC) specialized in one subject D) seldom took written exams7. Nowadays a student working for the doctor’s degree .A) has to take a kind of oral examinationB) must ask a number of questionsC) has to write a poemD) must take an advanced examination8. According to Paragraph 3 , which of the following is true.A) Written examinations were not heard of before 1900.B) The development of modern industry resulted from the increase in populationC) A group of workers of an automobile factory are taking a written examinationD) Modern examinations are mainly set in written form and taken in a limited amount of time.9. The kind of exam where students must select answers is .A) personal B) spoken C) objective D) written10. It may be concluded that examinations .A) should test only opinions B) have changed since the Middle AgesC) should always be written D) are also given in factoriesPassage threeLong after the 1998 World Cup was won，disappointed fans were still cursing the disputed refereeing（裁判）decisions that denied victory to their team . A researcher was appointed to study the performance of some top referees.The researcher organized an experimental tournament （锦标赛）involving four youth teams . Each match lasted an hour, divided into three periods’of 20 minutes during which different referees were in charge.Observers noted down the referees’errors, of which there were 61 over the tournament. Converted to a standard match of 90 minutes, each referee made almost 23 mistakes, a remarkably high number.The researcher then studied the videotapes to analyse the matches in detail, Surprisingly, he found that errors were more likely when the referees were close to the incident, When the officials got it right, they were, on average, 17 meters away from the action. The average distance in the case of errors was 12 meters. The research shows the optimum（最佳的）distance is about 20 meters.There also seemed to be an optimum speed for errors came when the referees were moving at a speed of about 2 meters per second. The average speed for errors was 4 meters per second.If FIFA , football’s international ruling body , wants to improve the standard of refereeing at the next World Cup , it should encourage referees to keep their eyes on the action from a distance , rather than rushing to keep up with the ball , the researcher argues.He also says that FIFA’s insistence that referees should retire at age 45 may be misguided. If keeping up with the action is not so important, their physical condition is less critical.11. The experiment conducted by the researcher was meant to .A) review the decisions of referees at the 1998 World CupB) analyse the causes of errors made by football refereesC) set a standard for football refereeingD) reexamine the rules for football refereeing12. The number of refereeing errors in the experimental match was .A) slightly above average B) higher than in the 1998 World CupC) quite unexpected D) as high as in a standard match13. The findings of the experiment show that .A) errors are more likely when a referee keeps close to the ballB) the farther the referee is from the incident ,the fewer the errorsC) the more slowly the referee runs, the more likely will errors occurD) errors are less likely when a referee stays in one spot14. The word “officials”(Line 2, para. 4)most probably refers to .A) the researchers involved in the experimentB) the inspectors of the football tournamentC) the referees of the football tournamentD) the observers at the site of the experiment15. What is one of the possible conclusions of the experiment?A) The ideal retirement age of an experienced football referee is 45.B) Age should not be the chief consideration in choosing a football referee.C) A football referee should be as young and energetic as possible.D) An experienced football referee can do well even when in poor physical condition.TranslationChinese to English1.他希望能够给予她比现在更多的帮助。

There are 5 tasks for you to fulfill. You should read the reading materials carefully and do the task as you are instructed.Task 1Hank Viscardi was born without legs. He had not legs but stumps (残肢) that could be fitted with a kind of special boots. People stared at him with cruel interest. Children laughed at him and called him ―Ape Man‖(猿人) because his arms practically dragged on the ground.Hank went to school like other boys. His grades were good and he needed only eight years to finish his schooling instead of the usual twelve. After graduating from school, he worked his way though college. He swept floors, waited on table, or worked in one of the college offices. During all this busy life, he had been moving around on his stumps. But one day the doctortold him even the stumps were not going to last much longer. He would soon have to use a wheelchair.Hank felt himself get cold all over. However, the doctor said there was a chance that he could be fitted with artificial legs (假肢). Finally a leg maker was found and the day came when Hank stood up before the mirror. For the first time he saw himself as he has always wanted to be - a full five feet eight inches tall. By this time he was already 26 years old.Hank had to learn to use his new legs. Again and again he marched the length of the room, and marched back again. There were times when he fell down on the floor, but he pulled himself up and went back to the endless marching. He went out on the street. He climbed stairs and learned to dance. He built a boat and learned to sail it.When World War II came, he talked the Red Crossing into giving him a job.

And even if he does not become very rich, he wants people to think that he is. That is what ―keeping up with the Joneses‖ is about. It is the story of someone who tried to look as rich as his neighbors.The expression was first used in 1913 by a young American called Arthur Momand. He told this story about himself. He began earning $125 a week at the age of 23. That was a lot of money in those days. He got married and moved with his wife to a very wealthy neighborhood outside New York City. When he saw that rich people rode horses, Momand went horse-riding everyday. When he saw that rich people had servants, Momand and his wife also hired a servant and gave big parties for their new neighbors.It was like a race, but one could never finish this race because one was always trying to keep up. The race ended for Momand and his wife when they could no longer pay for their new way of life. They moved back to an apartment in New York City.Momand looked around him and noticed that many people do things just to keep up with rich lifestyle of their neighbors. He saw the funny side of it and started to write a series of short stories. He called it ―Keeping up with the Joneses‖ because ―Jones‖ is a very common name in the Untie States. ―Keep up with the Joneses‖ came to mean keeping up with the rich lifestyle of the people around you. Momand’s series appeared in different newspapers across the country for over 28 years.People never seem to get tried of keeping up with the Joneses. And there are ―Joneses‖ in every city of the world. But one must get tired of trying to keep up with the Joneses because no matter what one does, Mr. Jones always seems to be ahead.41.

After reading it, you are required to complete the outline below it. You should write your answers (in no more than 3 words) briefly.Freezing can keep food fresh and safe to eat. Freezing lowers the food temperature below zero degree Celsius(摄氏). The simplest way to prepare fruits is to cut them up and place them in a container inside the freezer, in some cases it is better to permit the fruit to freeze before putting it in the container. This will keep it from sticking to the container. This is called the ―dry pack‖ method. The second way is the ―wet pack‖method. The fruit is prepared along with some of its liquid or juice. You can add some sugar to fruits that are naturally juicy. The sugar sweetens the fruit and brings out its natural juice. Once foods have been unfrozen, they should not be frozen again. There is a danger of food poisoning if food is frozen more than once.Task 4Directions: The following is a list of airport terms.

The passage is followed by some questions orunfinished statement. 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 . New technology links the world as never before. Our planet has shrunk. It’s now a “global village” where countries are only seconds away by fax or phone or satellite link. And. of course, our ability to benefit from this high-tech communications equipment is greatly enhanced by foreign language skills. Deeply involved with this new technology is a breed of modern businesspeople who have a growing respect for the economic value of doing business abroad. In modern markets, success overseas often helps support domestic business efforts. Overseas assignments are becoming increasingly important to advancement within executive ranks. The executive stationed in another country no longer need fear being “out of sight and out of mind.” He or she can be sure that the overseas effort is central to the company’s plan for success, and that promotions often follow or accompany an assignment abroad. If an employee can succeed in a difficult assignment overseas, superiors will have greater confidence in his or her ability to cope back in the United States where cross-cultural considerations and foreign language issues are becoming more and more prevalent (普遍的). Thanks to a variety of relatively inexpensive communications devices with business applications, even small businesses in the United States are able to get into international markets. English is still the international language of business. But there is an ever-growing need for people who can speak another language. A second language isn’t generally required to get a job in business, but having language skills gives a candidate the edge when other qualifications appear to be equal. The employee posted abroad who speaks the country’s principal language has an opportunity to fast-forward certain negotiations, and can have the cultural insight to know when it is better to move more slowly. The employee at the home office who can communicate well with foreign clients over the telephone or by fax machine is an obvious asset to the firm.48. What is the author’s attitude toward high -tech communications equipment? A. Critical. C. Indifferent. B. Prejudiced. D. Positive.49. With the increased use of high-tech communications equipment, business people ______. A. have to get familiar with modern technology. B. are gaining more economic benefits from domestic operations. C. are attaching more importance to their overseas business. D. are eager to work overseas.50. In this passage, “out of sight and out of mind” (Lines 2-3, Para. 3) probably means ____.密 封 线 自 觉 遵 守 考 场 纪 律 如 考 试 作 弊 此 答 卷 无效A. being unable to think properly for lack of insight.B. being totally out of touch with business at home.C. missing opportunities for promotion when abroad.D. leaving all care and worry behind.51.According to the passage, what is an important consideration of international corporations in employing people today? A. Connections with businesses overseas. B. Ability to speak the client’s language. C. Technical know-how. D. Business experience.52. The advantage of employees having foreign language skills is that they can _______. A. better control the whole negotiation process. B. easily find new approaches to meet market needs. C. fast-forward their proposals to headquarters. D. easily make friends with businesspeople abroad.Part VI Cloze (5 minutes) (5%)Directions : Read the following passage and fill in each of the numbered blankswith one suitable word.

That afternoon, a driver saw a strange man carrying two bags cross the road far ahead of his car. He at once telephoned the police. A group of policemen soon arrived and questioned the villagers one after another. Everyone had an alibi except an old potato farmer. The police chief ordered his men to arrest him, and the poor farmer was taken to the police station. On the way, the chief said to the farmer, “You’ll stay in prison for ever if you don’t cooperate.”At the station, he only admitted he had just bought two bags of potatoes from the market.The poli ce didn’t believe him and went to his house. They looked below the floor and searched among the old things in the corners, but nothing was found. So the farmer was sent to prison. When it was time to plant the new crop of potatoes, he got very worried because he knew his wife would not be strong enough to dig the ground. He also knew nobody would help a prisoner, so he wrote a letter to his wife which said, “Please do not dig the potato field. I hid the money and the gun there.”Then days later he received a letter from his wife. I t said, “I think somebody is reading your letters before they go out of the prison. Some policemen arrived here two days ago and dug up the whole potato field. What shall I do now?”The prisoner wrote back at once, “Plant the potatoes, of course.”( ) 6.
