Part ⅡReading Comprehension(Skimming and Scanning)(15 minutes)Directions:In this part, you will have 15 minutes to go over the passage quickly and answer the questions on Answer Sheet 1.For questions 1-7, choose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B), C) and D). For questions 8-10, complete the sentences with the information given in the passage.Consumer Recycling and Waste Reduction TipsThe following information provides simple tips on how to recycle and reduce waste as a consumer. Grocery StoresMany supermarkets sponsor redemption centers（回收中心）that will buy back California Redemption Value(CRV) containers for recycling and may accept other materials like steel cans, glass jars and newspapers. Some stores have reverse vending machines, which give you money back as CRV containers are fed into them.Many grocery stores in the San Diego area also have a place to recycle used plastic grocery bags and film containers (plastic canisters that package the film):Albertsons (also take newspaper wrappers, dry cleaning bags, or any type of LDPE plastic bag) ·Ralphs·Vons·Wal Mart·Whole Foods MarketAs for the question “Paper or plastic?” why not bring your own reusable cloth shopping bags instead. The cloth bags hold a lot more, so there are fewer trips back and forth from the car and the cloth carrying handles are more comfortable on your hands than paper or plastic handles. Some stores even give a small discount when you bring reusable cloth bags or reuse old shopping bags to carry out your new purchases.Tip: If you bring your own canvas, plastic, or paper bags, be sure to ask the store to credit your bill. Many stores take 5 cents off each bag provided by the customer, even if the store does not recycle plastic bags.And if you buy just one or two items, try going without a bag altogether. The store pays for its bags, which means so do you, and in the end, so does the environment.Dry CleanersMany dry cleaners take back their plastic clothes bags. When you get home and hang up yourclothes, keep the plastic covers and recycle them on your next trip to the dry cleaners—rather than throw them away. Some stores will also reuse clean hangers.Reusing by DonatingThere are many items that even the most active recycler may throw away because they are uncommon recyclables. Some of these items include mattresses, furniture, clothing, appliances, electronics or art materials. They can often be donated to local thrift stores and nonprofit groups to be repaired and reused. Visit , San Diego s resource for thrift stores, second hand, rummage sales, recycling, retro, and more. Plus a calendar of events.Source Reduction—Make It Recyclable and ReusableWhile shopping, you can help the environment by selecting products that use less packaging and are reusable or readily recyclable in your community. When buying a product, stop and think, “Can this item be recycled or reused?” If not, is there an alternati ve brand or product that you can buy? By making these choices, you are using your purchasing power to reward manufacturers that make recyclable and reusable products, not products that are only disposable.Try Ｔhese Ｒeusable Ａlternatives:·Use a sponge instead of throwaway wipes·Buy rechargeable batteries·Buy cloth napkins that you can wash instead of paper you throw away·Buy washable plates and cups for picnics instead of disposables·Buy razors with replaceable blades·Seek out reusable or refillable containers that hold shampoo, soap, etc.·Use plastic containers with lids instead of aluminum foil, plastic bags or plastic wrap·Rinse plastic bags and reuse them Buy Products Made of Recycled MaterialsA phone directory featuring local recycled products is available by calling Environmental Services at(858)694 7000. No recycling program is truly successful unless recyclables collected are transformed into marketable products and then purchased by you! To create a demand for recycled products, make sure to purchase products that contain recycled materials. Ask store managers to stock products made with recycled materials and write to the manufacturers of the products you buy and tell them you prefer that they use recycled materials.When shopping, buy those items that say, “made from recycled materials”and have the highest percentage of post consumer recycled content. (Post consumer content means any material that the public has already used or recycled.) California law requires that any consumer goods labeled “Recycled”must contain at least 10% post consumer content. And beware, claims such as “environmentally friendly”, “eco safe”, “safe for the environment”or “natural”do not necessarily mean that the product can be recycled or contains recycled material!Thanks to today s technology and manufacturing, these products are as high a quality as(if not higher than) products that don t contain recycled materials, and they look just as nice. Look for these items for your home or business in your community:·Clothing and shoes·Children s toys and playground equipment·Garden tools·Carpet pads·Plastic lumber for planters, decks and benches·Motor oil·Floors and countertops·Rain gutters·Packaging materials·Paper products like tissue and towels·Cleaning supplies·Writing or computer paper and envelopesYour choices and efforts can make a significant difference in the success of San Diego and our nation s recycling programs! Avoid Excess Packaging and Buy in Bulk（批量购买）While it s true that some packaging is necessary for health and shelf life considerations, all too many manufacturers over package their products. This excess packaging costs consumers more money, costs our environment more resources and energy, and costs our landfills valuable space.So take a little extra care before you buy. Look for an alternative product without packaging or the least amount of packaging and send a message that you don t like waste. Also, avoid single serving items that are overly wrapped.When it makes sense, buy in bulk, but only purchase the amount you will use within a reasonable time. You will avoid over packaging and save money, since larger quantities are generally discounted. Try these alternatives next time you shop:·Large box of cereal vs. individually wrapped snack pack of mini boxes of cereal·Pudding in a box vs. pudding in plastic cups which are then held together by a cardboard carton ·Fresh vegetables you buy by the pound vs. shrink wrapped vegetables in Styrofoam containers ·1 gallon water jugs vs. 6 pack of individual 12 ounce plastic bottles·Condensed can of soup vs. microwavable single portion soups注意：此部分试题在答题卡1上作答；8~10题在答题卡1上。

Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once. Each paragraph is marked with a letter. Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.Highways[A] Early in the 20th century, most of the streets and roads in the U.S. were made of dirt, brick, and cedar wood blocks. Built for horse, carriage, and foot traffic, they were usually poorly cared for and too narrow to accommodate (容纳) automobiles. [B] With the increase in auto production, private turnpike ( 收费公路) companies under local authorities began to spring up, and by 1921 there were 387,000 miles of paved roads. Many were built using specifications of 19th century Scottish engineers Thomas Telford and John MacAdam （for whom the macadam surface is named ）, whose specifications stressed the importance of adequate drainage. Beyond that, there were no national standards for size, weight restrictions, or commercial signs, During World War I, roads throughout the country were nearly destroyed by the weight of trucks. When General Eisenhower returned from Germany in 1919, after serving in theU.S. Army’s first transcontinental motor convoy ( 车队) ，he noted : “The old convoy had started me thinking about good, two-lane highways ,but Germany’s Autobahn or motorway had made me see the wisdo m of broader ribbons across the land.”[C]It would take another war before the federal government would act on a national highway system. During World War II, a tremendous increase in trucks and new roads were required. The war demonstrated how critical highways were to the defense effort. Thirteen percent of defense plants received all their supplies by truck, and almost all other plants shipped more than half of their products by vehicle. The war also revealed that local control of highways had led to confusing variety of design standards. Even federal and state highways did not follow basic standards. Some states allowed trucks up to 36,000 pounds, while others restricted anything over 7,000 pounds. A government study recommended a national highway system of 33,920 miles and Congress soon passed the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1944, which called for strict, centrally controlled design criteria.[D]The interstate highway system was finally launched in 1956 and has been hailed as one of the greatest public works projects of the century. To build its 44,000-mile wed of highways, bridges and tunnels, hundreds of unique engineering designs and solutions had to be worked out. Consider the many geographic features of the country : mountains, steep grades, wetlands, rivers, deserts, and plains. Variables included the slope of the land, the ability of the pavement to support the load, the intensity of road use, and the nature of the underlying soil , Urban areas were another problem. Innovative designs of roadways, tunnels , bridges, overpasses, and interchanges that could run through or bypass urban areas soon began to weave their way across the country, forever altering the face of America.[E]Long-span, segmented-concrete, cable-stayed bridges such as Hale Boggs in Louisiana and the Sunshine Skyway in Florida, and remarkable tunnels like Fort McHenry in Maryland and Mt. Baker in Washington, met many of the nation’s physical challenges. Traffic control systems and methods of construction developed under the interstate program soon influenced highway construction around the world , and were invaluable in improving the condition of urban streets and traffic patterns.[F]Today, the interstate system links every major city in the U.S. and the U.S. with Canada and Mexico. Built with safety in mind, the highways have wide lanes and shoulders, dividing medians or barriers, long entry and exit lanes, curves engineered for safe turns, and limited access. The death rate on highways is half that of all other U.S. roads (0.86 deaths per 100 million passenger miles compared to 1.99 deaths per 100 million on all other roads ).[G]By opening the North American continent, highways have enabled consumer goods and services to reach people in remote and rural areas of the country, spurred the growth of suburbs, and provided people with greater options in terms of jobs, access to cultural programs, health care, and other benefits. Above all, the interstate system provides individuals with what they cherish most : personal freedom of mobility.[H]The interstate system has been an essential element of the nation’s economic growth in terms of shipping and job creation : more than 75 percent of the nation’s freight deliveries arriv e by truck ; and most products that arrive by rail or air use interstates for the last leg of the journey by vehicle. Not only has the highway system affected the American economy by providing shipping routes, it has led to the growth of spin-off industries like service stations, motels, restaurants and shopping enters. It has allowed the relocation of manufacturing plants and other industries from urban areas to rural.[I]By the en of the century there was an immense network of paved roads, residential streets, expressways, and freeways built to support millions of vehicles. The highway system was officially renamed for Eisenhower to honor his vision and leadership. The year construction began he said : “ Together , the united forces of our communication and transportation systems are dynamic elements in the very name we bear-United States, Without them, we would be a mere alliance of many separate36.Trucks using the interstate highways deliver more than half of the nation’s freight deliveries.37.It was in the 1950s that the American government finally took action to build a national highway s ystem.38.The interstate highway system provides access between major cities in America.39.National standards for paved roads were not in place by 1921.40.The greatest benefit brought about by the interstate system was personal freedom of mobility.41.Many of the problems presented by the country’s geographical features found solutions in innovativeengineering projects.42.The death rate on interstate highways is lower that that of other American roads.43.The interstate highway system promoted the development of service stations, motels and restaurants.44.The interstate system was renamed after Eisenhower in recognition of his vision and leadership.45.General Eisenhower felt that the broad German motorways made more sense than the two-lane highways of America.Section CDirections: 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) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.What should you think about in trying to find your career? You are probably better at some school subjects than others. These may show strengths that you can use in your work. A boy who is good at mathematics can use that in an engineering career.A girl who spells well and likes English may be good at office work. So it is important to know the subjects you do well in at school. On the other hand , you may not have any specially strong or weak subjects but your records show a general satisfactory standard . Although not all subjects can be used directly in a job, they may have indirect value. A knowledge of history is not required for most jobs but if history is one of your good subjects you will have learned to remember facts and details. This is an ability that can be useful in many jobs.Your school may have taught you skills, such as typing or technical drawing, which you can use in your work . You may be good at metal work or cookery and look for a job where you can improve these skills. If you have had a part-time job on Saturdays or in the summer, think about what you gained from it. If nothing else, you may have learned how to get to work on time, to follow instructions and to get on with older workers. You may have learned to give correct change in a shop, for example, Just as important, you may become interested in a particular industry or career you see from the inside in a pare-time job.Facing your weak points is also part of knowing yourself.

Under deadline pressure, they developed mass production methods to build houses quickly . These techniques were carried over to their postwar suburban developments. On May 7, 1947, William Levitt announced his plans to build 2,000 houses in a former potato field in the state of New York. Then , by the time this Levittown was completed in 1951, it had contained 17,450 homes for 75,000 people in New York , Levitt eventually built two more Levittowns, in the states of Pennsylvania and New Jersey . Each contained the same curving streets, community pools, and neighborhood parks, playgrounds as the first development did.Some observers criticized the monotonous uniformity of the Levittowns, charging that they are just the symbol of materialism, but Levittowns were overwhelmingly welcomed by the public. They were cheap, comfortable , efficient, and ideal for young people just starting out in life. Thousands of middle class people, especially some young couples, couples, crowded in city apartments or still living with their parents, rushed to purchase them, Fourteen hundred contracts were signed in one day in 1949.Levittown symbolized the most significant social trend of the postwar era in the United States-the flight to the suburbs. The resulting massive shift in population from the central city to the suburbs was accompanied by a baby “boom” that started after soldiers returned home fr om World War II and got married .By 1960, one-third of the nation’s population lived in the suburbs. The nation underwent its greatest increase in population since 1910.51.What does the passage mainly discuss?A)Levittown was built by William Levitt with the mass-production method.B)Levittown served as an ideal and leading example of social changes in the U.S. after World War II.C)Increases in the population of the United States after the war.D)Why there was a housing shortage after World War II.52.What was the original reason for Levitt to use the method of mass production to build houses？A)In order to reduce the cost of the construction.B)To meet people’s need to own their own houses after the war.C)There was a population shift from central cities to the suburbs.D)He was forced to do so because of the lack of time.53.One of the reasons Levittowns were criticized by some observers was that .A)the land on which the first Levittown was built was previously used for agricultureB)the methods Levitt used for construction were new to themC)the Levittown houses were lack of varietyD)home building shouldn’t be changed from a cottage industry into a major manufacturing process54.Thousands of people rushed to buy Levitt’s houses because of .A)the low pricesB)the convenient transportationC)its location in the suburbsD)the crowded family in the city55.What can be inferred from the passage?A)Levitt’s houses have led to the great shift in population after the Second World War.B)W illiam Levitt had tapped the postwar desire of young Americans to raise their children outside the centralcity.C)L evittown has become the world’s most perfectly planned community.D)The population of the United States increased sharply after the Second World War.Part ⅣTranslation (30 minutes)Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to translate a passage from Chinese intoEnglish.

"They are relics (纪念物)of different historical periods still found in our kitchens."Take the six-pack, whose contents first fizzed at the dawn of civilization.BeerThe ancient Sumerians, who built advanced city-states in the area of present-day lraq, began fermenting(发酵)beer from barley at least 6,000 years ago."When people started agriculture the first crops they produced were barley or wheat. You consume those crops as bread and as beer," Standage noted. "It's the drink associated with the dawn of civilization. It's as simple as that."Beer was popular with the masses from the beginning."Beer would have been something that a common person could have had in the house and made whenever they wanted," said Linda Bisson, a microbiologist at the Department of Viticulture and Enology at the University of California, Davis."The guys who built the pyramids were paid in beer and bread," Standage added. "It was the defining drink of Egypt and Mesopotamia. Everybody drank it. Today it's the drink of the working man, and it was then as well."WineWine may be as old or older than beer—though no one can be certain.Paleolithic humans probably sampled the first "wine" as the juice of naturally fermented wild grapes. But producing and storing wine proved difficult for early cultures."To make wine you have to have fresh grapes," said Bisson, the UC Davis microbiologist. "for beer you can just store grain and add water to process it at any time."Making wine also demanded pottery that could preserve the precious liquid."Wine may be easier to make [than beer], but it's harder to store," Bisson added. "For most ancient cultures it would have been hard to catch [fermenting grape juice] as wine on its way to [becoming] vinegar."Such caveats and the expense of producing wine helped the beverage quickly gain more cachet(威望)than beer. Wine was originally associated with social elites and religious activities.Wine snobbery may be nearly as old as wine itself. Greeks and Romans produced many grades of wine for various social classes.The quest for quality became an economic engine and later drove cultural expansion."Once you had regions [like Greece and Rome] that could distinguish themselves as making good stuff, it gave them an economic boost," Bisson said. "Beer just wasn't as special."SpiritsHard liquor, particularly brandy and rum, placated (安抚)sailors during the long sea voyages of the Age of Exploration, when European powers plied the seas during the 15th, 16th, and early 17th centuries.Rum played a crucial part of the triangular trade between Britain, Africa, and the North American colonies that once dominated the Atlantic economy.Standage also suggests that rum may have been more responsible than tea for the independence movement in Britain's American colonies."Distilling molasses for rum was very important to the New England economy," he explained. "When the British tried to tax molasses it struck at the heart of the economy. The idea of 'no taxation without representation' originated with molasses and sugar. Only at the end did it refer to tea."Great Britain's longtime superiority at sea may also owe a debt to its navy's drink ofrum-based choice, grog(掺水烈酒),which was made a compulsory beverage for sailors in the late 18th century."They would make grog with rum, water, and lemon or lime juice," Standage said. "This improved the taste but also reduced illness and scurvy. Fleet physicians thought that this had doubled the efficiency of the fleet."CoffeeThe story of modern coffee starts in the Arabian Peninsula, where roasted beans were first brewed around A.D. 1000. Sometime around the 15th century, coffee spread throughout the Arab world."In the Arab world, coffee rose as an alternative to alcohol, and coffeehouses as alternatives to taverns(酒馆)—both of which are banned by Islam," Standage said.When coffee arrived in Europe it was similarly hailed as an "anti-alcohol" that was quite welcome during the Age of Reason in the 18th century."Just at the point when the Enlightenment is getting going, here's a drink that sharpens the mind," Standage said. "The coffeehouse is the perfect venue(聚会地点)to get together and exchange ideas and information. The French Revolution started in a coffeehouse."Coffee also fuelled commerce and had strong links to the rituals of business that remain to the present day. Lloyds of London and the London Stock Exchange were both originally coffeehouses.TeaTea became a daily drink in China around the third century A.D.Standage says tea played a leading role in the expansion of imperial and industrial might in Great Britain many centuries later. During the 19th century, the East India Company enjoyed a monopoly on tea exports from China."Englishmen around the world could drink tea, whether they were a colonial administrator in India or a London businessman," Standage said. "The sun never set on the British Empire—which meant that it was always teatime somewhere."As the Industrial Revolution of 18th and 19th centuries gained steam, tea provided some of the fuel. Factory workers stayed alert during long, monotonous shifts thanks to welcome tea breaks.The beverage also had unintended health benefits for rapidly growing urban areas. "When you start packing people together in cities it's helpful to have a water-purification technology like tea," which was brewed with boiling water, Standage explained.Coca-colaIn 1886 pharmacist John Stith Pemberton sold about nine Coca-colas a day.Today his soft drink is one of the world's most valuable brands-sold in more countries than the United Nations has members."It may be the second most widely understood phrase in the world after 'OK'," Standage said.The drink has become a symbol of the United States—love it or hate it. Standage notes that East Germans quickly reached for Cokes when the Berlin Wall fell, while Thai Muslims poured it out into the streets to show disdain for the U.S. in the days leading up to the 2003 invasion of Iraq."Coca-cola encapsulates what happened in the 20th century: the rise of consumer capitalism and the emergence of America as a superpower," Standage said. "It's globalization in a bottle."While Coke may not always produce a smile, a survey by the Economist magazine (Standage's employer), suggests that the soft drink's presence is a great indicator of happy citizens. When countries were polled for happiness, as defined by a United Nations index, high scores correlated with sales of Coca-Cola."It's not because [Coke] makes people happy, but because [its] sales happen in the dynamic free-market economies that tend to produce happy people," Standage said.1. The passage gives a brief description of the content of a new book, A History of the World in 6 Glasses.2. The ancient Sumerians began fermenting beer from barley at least 6,000 years ago.3. Today beer is the drink of the working man, which was not the case before.4. Greeks probably sampled the first "wine" as the juice of naturally fermented wild grapes.5.

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 Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the center.Passage OneQuestions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.You're busy filling out the application form for a position you really need. Let's assume you once actually completed a couple of years of college work or even that you completed your degree. Isn't it tempting to lie just a little, to claim on the form that your diploma represents a Harvard degree? Or that you finished an extra couple of years back at State University? More and more people are turning to utter deception like this to land their job or to move ahead in their careers,for personnel officers, like most Americans, value degrees from famous schools. A job applicant may have a good education anyway, but he or she assumes that chances of being hired are better with a diploma from a well-known university.Registrars at most well-known colleges say they deal with deceitful claims like these at the rate of about one per week. Personnel officers do check up on degrees listed on application forms, then. If it turns out that an applicant is lying, most colleges are reluctant to accuse the applicant directly. One Ivy League school calls them "impostors(骗子)"; another refers to them as "special cases". One well-known West Coast school, in perhaps the most delicate phrase of all, says that these claims are made by "no such people". To avoid outright(彻底的)lies, some job-seekers claim that they "attending" means being dismissed after one semester. It may be that "being associated with"a college means that the job-seeker visited his younger brother for a football weekend. One school that keeps records of false claims says that the practice dates back at least to the turn of the century—that's when they began keeping records, anyhow. If you don't want to lie or even stretch the truth, there are companies that will sell you a phony diploma.One company, with offices in New York and on the West Coast, will put your name on a diploma from any number of nonexistent colleges. The price begins at around twenty dollars for adiploma from "Smoot State University". The prices increase rapidly for a degree from the "University of Purdue". As there is no Smoot State and the real school in Indiana is properly called Purdue University, the prices seem rather high for one sheet of paper.57. The main idea of this passage is that ________ .[A] employers are checking more closely on applicants now[B] lying about college degrees has become a widespread problem[C] college degrees can now be purchased easily[D] employers are no longer interested in college degrees58. According to the passage, "special cases" refers to cases that ________.[A] students attend a school only part-time[B] students never attended a school they listed on their application[C] students purchase false degrees from commercial firms[D] students attended a famous school59. We can infer from the passage that ________ .[A] performance is a better judge of ability than a college degree[B] experience is the best teacher[C] past work histories influence personnel officers more than degrees do[D] a degree from a famous school enables an applicant to gain advantage over others in job competition60. This passage implies that ________ .[A] buying a false degree is not moral[B] personnel officers only consider applicants from famous schools[C] most people lie on applications because they were dismissed from school[D] society should be greatly responsible for lying on applications61. The word "phony" (Line 13, Para. 2) means ________ .[A] thorough [C] false[B] ultimate [D] decisivePassage TwoQuestions 62 to 66 are based on the following passage.Material culture refers to what can be seen, held, felt, used—what a culture produces. Examining a culture's tools and technology can tell us about the group's history and way of life. Similarly, research into the material culture of music can help us to understand the music culture. The most vivid body of material culture in it, of course, is musical instruments. We cannot hear for ourselves the actual sound of any musical performance before the 1870s when the phonograph was invented, so we rely on instruments for important information about music cultures in the remote past and their development. Here we have two kinds of evidence: instruments wellpreserved and instruments pictured in art. Through the study of instruments, as well as paintings, written documents, and so on, we can explore the movement of music from the Near East to China over a thousand years ago, or we can outline the spread of Near Eastern influence to Europe that resulted in the development of most of the instruments in the symphony orchestra.Sheet music or printed music, too, is material culture. Scholars once defined folk music cultures as those in which people learn and sing music by ear rather than from print, but research shows mutual influence among oral and written sources during the past few centuries in Europe, Britain, and America. Printed versions limit variety because they tend to standardize any song, yet they stimulate people to create new and different songs. Besides, the ability to read music notation has a far-reaching effect on music and, when it becomes widespread, on the music culture as a whole.One more important part of music's material culture should be singled out: the influence of the electronic media—radio, record player, tape recorder, television, and videocassette, with the future promising talking and singing computers and other developments. This is all part of the "information revolution", a twentieth-century phenomenon as important as the industrial revolution was in the nineteenth. These electronic media are not just limited to modern nations; they have affected music cultures all over the globe.62. Research into the material culture of a nation is of great importance because ________ .[A] it helps produce new cultural tools and technology[B] it can reflect the development of the nation[C] it helps understand the nation's past and present[D] it can demonstrate the nation's civilization63. It can be learned from this passage that ________ .[A] the existence of the symphony was attributed to the spread of Near Eastern and Chinese music[B] Near Eastern music had an influence on the development of the instruments in the symphony orchestra[C] the development of the symphony shows the mutual influence of Eastern and Western music[D] the musical instruments in the symphony orchestra were developed on the basis of Near Eastern music64. According to the author, music notation is important because ________ .[A] it has a great effect on the music culture as more and more people are able to read it[B] it tends to standardize folk songs when it is used by folk musicians[C] it is the printed version of standardized folk music[D] it encourages people to popularize printed versions of songs65. It can be concluded from the passage that the introduction of electronic media into the world of music ________ .[A] has brought about an information revolution[B] has speeded up the appearance of a new generation of computers[C] has given rise to new forms of music culture[D] has led to the transformation of traditional musical instruments66. Which of the following best summarizes the main idea of the passage?[A] Musical instruments developed through the years will sooner or later be replaced by computers.[B] Music cannot be passed on to future generations unless it is recorded.[C] Folk songs cannot be spread far unless they are printed on music sheets.[D] The development of music culture is highly dependent on its material aspect.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 ONE that best fits into the passage. Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the center.Today, most countries in the world have canals. Many countries have built canals near the coast, and parallel 67 the coast. Even in the twentieth century, goods can be moved more cheaply by boat than by any other 68 of transport. These 69 make it possible for boats to travel 70 ports along the coast without being 71 to the dangers of the open. Some canals, such as the Suez and the Panama, save ships weeks of time by making their 72 a thousand miles shorter. Other canals permit boats to reach cities that are not 73 on the coast; still other canals 74 lands where there istoo much water, help to 75 fields where there is not enough water, and 76 water power for factories and mills. The size of a canal 77 on the kind of boats going through it. The canal must be wide enough to permit two of the largest boats using it to 78 each other easily. It must be deep enough to leave about two feet of water 79 the keel of the largest boat using the canal. When the planet Mars was first 80 through a telescope, people saw that the round disk of the planet was crises-crossed by a 81 of strange blue-green lines. These were called "canals" 82 they looked the same as canals on earth 83 are viewed from an airplane. However, scientists are now 84 that the Martian phenomena are really not canals. The photographs 85 from space-ships have helped us to 86 the truth about the Martian "canals".67. [A] off [B] with [C] to [D] by68. [A] way [B] means [C] method [D] approach69.

Model test 4Section AQuestions 1 and 2 will be based on the following news item.Anti-narcotics officials in the United States say they have arrested one of Mexico’s most wanted drug traffickers—Javier Arellano-Felix, who was detained in a boat off the coast of California, is accused of being one of the leaders of a family-run cocaine smuggling cartel, based in the Mexican border city of Tijuana. Nick Miles reports from Washington. U.S. officials say the arrest of Javier Arellano-Felix represents a serious blow to one of the world’s largest drug cartels. The Deputy U.S. Attorney General Paul McNulty said he’d been detained in a raid off the Mexican peninsular of Baja California in a joint operation with the Mexican authorities. He was wanted in connection with his alleged involvement in conspiracies to import cocaine and launder money. The U.S. State Department had offered a reward of five million dollar for his capture and he topped the Drug Enforcement Administration’s list of most wanted suspects.1.What’s Arellano-Felix’s current status?2.For what reason was he hunted down by the U.S. government?Questions 3 and 4 will be based on the following news item.The United States is marking the 14th anniversary of the September 11th terrorist attacks. U.S. officials and many other Americans attended observances Friday to remember those killed and their loved ones.Nearly 3,000 people died on September 11, 2001 when hijackers used four passenger airplanes to carry out suicide attacks in the United States. In addition to the victims, the 19 hijackers also were killed. Al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden and his group claimed responsibility for the attacks. U.S. forces killed him in a surprise raid on his hiding place in Pakistan four years ago.Friday morning, President Barack Obama, his wife and White House workers observed a public moment of silence in Washington. They gathered on the White House grounds at 8:46. That was the exact time when a hijacked airplane struck the World Trade Center.3. What are people marking?4. Who did NOT observe a public moment of silence in Washington?Questions 5 to 7 will be based on the following news item.The U.S. Senate has approved (by a vote of 98 to one) a 31-point-seven billion dollar package to fund foreign operations, including economic and political aid to countries around the world. VOA's Deborah Tate reports from Capitol Hill.The bill funds State Department functions and international organizations, bolsters security at U.S. embassies and other diplomatic facilities, and seeks to strengthen public diplomacy by funding international broadcasting and educational and cultural programs.The measure provides funds for nonproliferation and anti-terrorism programs. It includesassistance to a number of key nations, including U.S. partners in the war on terrorism.The legislation provides over a billion dollars to support international peacekeeping operations.It includes money for fighting AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria, for combating drug trafficking, and for promoting democracy around the world.The House of Representatives approved their version of the legislation last month. Differences in the two bills will have to be reconciled before a final measure is sent to President Bush for his signature.5. What has the U.S. Senate approved?6. Which of the following does NOT the bill fund?7. What can be inferred about the bill?Section B:Conversation OneW: Well, it seems to me that everybody's talking about E-mail nowadays. When you exchange cards with others, you'll feel out of time and start at a disadvantage if your card hasn't an E-mail address on it.M: I wouldn't be surprised, because, you know, it's the easiest way to communicate with other users over a network.W: Is it? But I was told that we must set up an E-mail system on the network before we can communicate with other users. Is that true?M: Yes, it's not tough to create such a system. However, you need some hardware and software to support it.W: Let me know the hardware needed first.M: A computer and a line that connects your computer with the Internet.W: All right. I was told that I need an account for my E-mail. Where can I get it?M: You can contact an ISP, I mean an Internet Service Provider, to get an account. W: How much do I have to pay for it?M: It varies.You can also get a free E-mail account if you don't have to consider too much for the security of your mails. I know many people prefer free E-mails and they say their correspondence through that kind of account doesn't involve commercial information needed to be strictly kept secret. You can get such a free account simply at home if you have got access to a website with such a service.W: It's so convenient.I may prefer the free E-mail. What about the software?M: You don't need any additional software. Just the IE, the Internet Explorer, bound with Windows, the operating system.W: Thank you so much for your help.8. According to the man, why is e-mail so popular?9. Which is the disadvantage of a free e-mail account?10. What is the necessary software to support the e-mail system?11. What will the woman probably do after the conversation?Conversation TwoW:Hi, Peter.M: Hi, Laura.W:How was your final?M: Absolutely no idea. Anyway, it's just wonderful to have finished the exam.W: Yeah, to sleep in every morning.M: Well, I've got a lot to do before I leave for Chicago. I've got a lot of things I can't take back with me and I don't know what to do with them. I am wondering if I can sell them to someone before going back to Chicago. Perhaps you could give me some advice.W: Well, it depends on what sort of things they are.M: There are quite a lot. I have a computer which is second hand and not worth much. What I really want to get rid of is the furniture, the fridge and other kitchen stuff. Oh, there are some clothes and books as well.W:I see. Well, there are several alternatives. First of all, you could put up notices around the university about the books—you know on the notice boards in the student union building, and anywhere the second and third year students will see them. People are always keen to buy cheap textbooks.M: Then what should I say on the notices?W: Just put the titles, authors and prices you want. Don't forget to put your phone number.M: That's a good idea. What about the furniture?W: You could try the same thing, but usually students are away all summer so they don't want to buy furniture now. Another place to try might be a second-hand shop. Someone from the shop will usually come around and give you a free quote, and then you can decide. But normally you won't get much money for that sort of stuff.12. Which items does Peter want to sell?13. What is Laura’s suggestion about the books?14. What does Laura think of the second-hand shop?15. What do we know from the conversation?Section C:Passage OneRemembering names is an important social skill. Here are some ways to master it.When you hear a person’s name, repeat it. Immediately say it to yourself several times without moving your lips. You could also repeat the name in a way that does not sound forced or artificial. Ask the other person to recite and repeat.You can let other people help you remember their names. After you’ve been introduced to someone, ask that person to spell the name and pronounce it correctly for you. Most people will be pleased by the effortyou’re making to learn their names. Admitting that you can’t remember someone’s name can actually make people relaxed. Most of them will feel sympathy if you say, “I’ m working to remember names better. Yours is right on the tip of my tongue. What is it again?”Linkeach person you meet with one thing you find interesting or unusual. For example, you could make a mentalnote: ”Vicki Cheng - tall, black hair.” To reinforce your associations, write them on a small card as soon as possible.When meeting a group of people, concentrate on remembering just two or three names. Free yourself from remembering everyone. Few of the people in mass introductions expect you to remember their names. Another way is to limit yourself to learning just first names. Last names can come later.Consider going early to conferences, parties and classes. Sometimes just a few people show up on time. That’s fewer names for you to remember. And as more people arrive, you can hear them being introduced to others - an automatic review for you.16. How will most people feel when you try hard to remember their names?17. What may you do if you can’t remember someone’s name?18. What is it better to do when you meet a group of people?Passage TwoSports can help you keep fit and get in touch with nature．However, whether you are on the mountains, in the waves, or on the grassland, you should be aware that your sport of choice might have great influence on the environment.Some sports are resource-hungry. Golf, as you may know, eats up not only large areas of countryside, but also tons of water. Besides, all sorts of chemicals and huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses in good condition. This causes major environmental effects. For example, in the dry regions of Portugal and Spain, golf is often held responsible for serious water shortage in some local areas. There are many environment-friendly sports. Power walking is one of them that you could take up today. You don’t need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes; and you don’t have to worry about resources and your purse．Simple and free, power walking can also keep you fit. If you walk regularly, it will be good for your heart and bones．Experts say that 20 minutes of power walking daily can make you feel less anxious, sleep well and have better weight control.Whatever sport you take up, you can make it greener by using environment-friendly equipment and buying products made from recycled materials. But the final goal should be “green gyms“. They are better replacements for traditional health clubs and modern sports centers. Members of green gyms play sports outdoors, in the countryside or other open spaces．There is no special requirement for you to start your membership. And best of all, it’s free.19. Which is the speaker most probably in favor of?20. What do we know about golf from the passage?21. Why does the speaker use power walking as an example?22. What is the speaker’s main purpose of giving this speech?Passage Threeyou're about to spend four years of your life and tens of thousands of dollars of your parents' money, and all you really know about college is that all of your friends aregoing. Do you ever consider why you're going? Relax. You're making the right decision. First of all, you'll discover what interests you by taking courses in many subjects. It's hard to decide whether you want to be a painter if you've never painted any pictures, until you're in a drawing-room on campus. College is also a lot of fun —after you graduate, you'll be working every weekday for 50 or so years. And remember that college graduate earn about twice the income of those who never attended college. Finding the right college can be difficult. Fortunately, Johnson Review is here to help you every step of the way.*Researching Schools. The most important decision you'll make is to choose the school that really suits your best — not the one that is the most competitive or has the best-equipped rooms.*Applying to School. On , you’ll find hundreds of actual college applications and links to many more.*Paying for School. Most families need financial aid for the high cost of college. The problem is that financial aid seems difficult to get and many families get caught up in the price of college instead of learning the ways to get financial aid. If you really do your research, you'll learn that you can afford to attend any college, no matter the cost.For more information, call 600-3681 or visit . Wherever you go, have a nice trip!23. How many reasons for going to college does the author mention in the passage?24. What does the speaker advise you to do to pay the high cost of college?25. What’s the speaker’s purpose of giving this talk?。

As far as I know, he works untilmidnight everyday.W:I wouldn't have troubled him so much if I had known he was so busy. Q:What do we learn from the conversation?6. W: I heard you got a full mark in the English exam. Congratulations'M; Thanks! I'm sure you also did a good job.Q: What's the probable relationship between the two speakers?7. M; I wonder if Suzy will be here by 5 o'clock.W: Her husband said she left home at 4 : 30, she should be here at 5 : 10, maybe 5 :15 at the latest. Q: What time did Suzy leave home?8. W: I suppose you've bought some gifts for your family.M: Well, I've bought a shirt for my father, and two books for my sister. But I haven't decided what to buy for my mother. Probably some jewels. Q: Who did the man buy the shirt for?Now you will hear two long conversations.Conversation OneW; Welcome to our program, George. M:Thank you.W; George, how long have you been a police officer? M: I'vebeen a police officer for thirty years.W: Thirty years. And you've had different types of assignments on the police force, I guess.M: Yeah, I've done everything from patrol to undercover work to detective work, and now I'm supervising investigations. W: George, I think most people would say that being a police officer is a very stressfuljob. Would you agree? M; Yes, it's definitely a stressful job. But it depends onyour assignment. W: So, what's probably the most stressful assignment you have? M:I'd say patrol is the most stressful assignment. W: That's interesting! In what way?M; Well, I guess the biggest part of the stress is the fear factor—the fear of the unknown. W: What do you mean, George?M: Well, in patrol work, you don't know from moment to moment who you are talking toor whether their reaction is going to justify your presence. W; I see. Let'stake a break and then we'll move on to the next topic. M: All right.Questions 9 to 11 are based on the conversation you have just heard.9. What's the relationship between the two speakers?10. What assignments have George done as a police officer?11. What's the most stressful assignment according to George?Conversation TwoM: So what's your problem?W: Well, doctor, I haven't been feeling well lately. My biggest problem is that I'm having trouble sleeping. M:Have you tried any of the sleeping medicationsavailable? W: I've tried one or two, but they don't seem to help. M: How longhave you had this problem? W; Three or four months—it's been rather a longtime now. M:Are you suffering from an unusual level of stress in your lifelately? W: Not more than usual. My biggest worry is the fact I can't sleep. M;Well, some people don't need as much sleep as others. W; But I feel tired all day,so it is a problem for me. M: Have you been experiencing any other symptoms?W; I've also had a lot of indigestion lately. M: Well, you are a little overweight,aren't you? W: Yes. I've gained about eight kilograms this past year.M: You really should try to lose at least that extra weight. Do you get much exercise?W: No, not very much.M; Physical activity is very important.W; So what do you recommend, doctor?M; I will give you some medication for your insomnia and your indigestion. But I also rec-ommend that you begin a regular exercise program. W: But I have neither the time nor the money to go to a gym.M: You don't need to go to a gym. A simple walking program would be very beneficial for you. I think you'll find that diet and exercise will be very helpful in taking care of your recent complaints.Questions 12 to 15 are based on the conversation you have just heard.12.What is probably the main cause of the patient's insomnia?13.According to the doctor, what is probably the most appropriate way for the woman to keepfit?14.What is the advice the doctor gave to the patient?15.What can we infer from the conversation?Section BPassage OneGood listening involves reaching into the thoughts and feelings behind a person's words. Watching someone's body language is an important way of doing this. A high per-centage of what we learn in a conversation comes from this non-verbal communication and it differs from one culture to another. In a conversation, people's body language is the way they sit or stand, what they do with their hands and the rest of their body. These non-verbal messages can give youimportant clues to people's thoughts and feelings, confirming or contradicting the words they speak.Do not take body language in isolation. See it as part of a larger picture, which includes tones of voice, and words spoken. And do not forget practical considerations. Your conversational partner may be shifting in his chair because he dislikes what you are saying. Equally, however, the chair may be uncomfortable and he may only be trying to rearrange his position.Questions 16 to 18 are based on the passage you have just heard.16.What is an important way of reaching into the thoughts behind a person's words?17.What do we learn about non-verbal communication from the passage?18.What is the main idea of the passage?Passage TwoUntil the twentieth century cigarettes were not an important threat to public health. Since the cigarette industry began in the 1870s, however, cigarette manufacturing machines have developed rapidly. This made it possible to produce great numbers of cigarettes very quickly, and it reduced the price.Today cigarette smoking is a widespread habit About forty-three percent of the men and thirty-one percent of the adult women in the United States smoke cigarettes regularly. It is en-couraging to note, however, that millions of people have given up the smoking habit Income, education, and occupation all play a part in determining a person's smoking habits. City people smoke more than people living on farms. Well-educated men with high income are less likely to smoke cigarettes than men with fewer years of schooling and lower income. On the other hand, if a well-educated man with a high income smokes at all, he is likely to smoke more packs of cigarettes per day. The situation is somewhat different from women. There are slightly more smokers among women with higher family income and higher education than among the lower income and lower educational groups. These more highly educated women tend to smoke more heavily. Questions 19 to 21 are based on the passage you have just heard.19.What reduced the price of cigarettes?20.What is the percentage of American adult women who smoke regularly?21.What plays a part in determining a person's smoking habit?Passage ThreeDid you know that there is a kind of bird that can sew? This bird, called the tailor-bird , uses its mouth as a needle. It sews leaves together in the shape of a cup. Then it adds a layer of straw to the inside of the cup and lays its eggs there. Each bird species builds its own special kind of nest, the most common materials used for nests are grasses, branches and feathers. A bird must leave these materials into a nest. Just imagine building a house without cement or nails to hold it together. Another bird is called the weaverbird. The weaverbird builds its nest that looks like a basket. The nest is shaped like a pear with a hole in the middle. The hole is the door of the nest. A third bird is called the ovenbird. The ovenbird makes a nest that is very solid. The nest is made of mud. The ovenbird forms the mud into the shape of an oven and then the mud dries in the sun. The sun bakes the mud, making it very hard. Not all birds make their homes in branches, some birds build their nests in the ground while others bury their eggs under the ground. And some birds do not build nests at all. So when you look for nests and eggs in the branches of trees and bushes,remember that some nests may be right under your feet. Questions 22 to 25 are based on the passage you have just heard.22.What does the nest built by a tailorbird look like?23.Why is there a hole in the weaverbird's nest?24.What is the ovenbird's nest made of?25.What might surprise us about birds' nests according to the speaker?Section CWhat (26) causes our dreams? To answer this question, let us begin by saying what does not cause our dreams. Our dreams do not come from "another world". They are not (27) messages from some outside source. They are not a look into the (28) future, either.All our dreams have something to do with our (29) emotions, fears, longings, wishes, needs and memories. But something on the "outside" may (30) affect what we dream. If a person is hungry, or tired, or cold, his dreams may include a feeling of this kind. If the covers on your body, such as a quilt or a blanket, have (31) slipped off your bed, you may dream that you are sleeping or resting on the ice and snow. The (32) materi-al for the dream you will have tonight is likely to come from the (33) experiences you have today.(34)So the subject of your dream usually comes from something that has effect on you while you are sleeping (feeling of cold, a noise, a discomfort, etc. ) and it may also use your past experiences and the wishes and interests you have now. That is why very young children are likely to dream of fairies, older children of school examinations, hungry people of food, homesick soldiers of their families, and prisoners of freedom.(35)There are some scientists who have made a special study of why we dream and what those dreams mean. Their explanation of dreams, though a bit reasonable, is not accepted by everyone, but it offers an interesting approach to the problem. (36) They believe that dreams are mostly expressions of wishes that did not come true. In other words, a dream is a way of having your wishes carried out.Model Test 41-5 CACBB 6-10 DADDD 11-15 AABAD 16-20 BDCBB 21-25 ABBCA 26. causes 27. messages 28. future 29. emotions 30. affect31. slipped 32. material 33. experiences34.

Other races have different percentages.For example,some American Indian groups have nearly 100 percent type O.26.If the blood is too different form your own in blood transfusion,_____.A.it may save youB.it has no effectC.it could kill youD.it is very safe27.Peole with type B blood can receive blood type___.A.ABB.BC.AD.both B and O28.If you need a transfusion,the best and safest blood for you ___.A.typeABB.exactly the same type as yoursC.a mixture of salt,plasma,and typeOD.either A or O29.Which of the following statement isTRUE?_____.A.There is no relationship between blood and nationality.B.Almost all of some American Indian groups have type O.C.Blood type isn’t inherited from parents.D.Among Europeans and people of European ancestry,the rarest is type O.30.The passage is mainly about_____.A. the realationship between blood and nationalityB.transfusionC.human blood typesD.blood and genePassage 2Design of all the new tools and implements is based on careful experiments with electronic instruments.First,a human“guinea pig”is tested using a regular tool.Measurements are taken of the amoust of work done,and the buildup of heat in the body.Twisted joints and stretched muscles can not perform as well,it has been found,as joints and muscles in their normal positions.The same person is then tested again,using a tooldesiged according to the suggestions made by Dr. Tichauer.All these tests have shown the great improvement of the new designs over the old. One of the electronic instruments used by Dr.Tichauer.All these tests have shown the great improvement of the new designs over the old. One of the electronic instruments used by Dr.Tichauer,the myograph(肌动机器),makes visible through electrical signals the work done by human muscule.Another machine measures any dangerous features of tools,thus proving information upon which to base a new desgin.One conclusion of tests made with this machine is that a tripod stepladder is more stable and safer to than one with four legs.This work has attracted the attention of efficiency experts and time-and-motion-study engineer,but its value goes far beyond that.Dr.Tichauer’s first thought is for the health of the tool user.With the repeated use of the same tool all day long on production lines andin other jobs,even light manual work can put a heavy stress on one small area of the body.In time,such stress can cause a disabling disease.Furthermore,muscle fatigue is a serious safety hazard.Efficiency is the by-product of comfort,Dr.Tichauer believes,and his new designs for tradtional tools have proved his point. 31.What are involved in the design of a new tool according to the passage?_____.A.Electronic instruments and a regular toolB.A human“guinea pig”and a regular tool.C.Electronic instruments and a human “guinea pig”.D.Electronic instruments,a human“guinea pig”and a regular tool.32.From the passage we know that joints and muscles perform best when______.A.they are twisted and strechedB.they are in their normal positionsC.they are tested with a human “guinea pigD.ther are tested with electronic instruments33.A“myograh”(Para.2.Line1)is an electronic instrunment that_____.A.is able to design new toolsB.measures the amoust of energy usedC.enable peole to see the muscular movementsD.visualizes electrical signals34.It can be inferred form the passage that___.A.a stepladder used to have four legs.B.it is dangerous to use toolsC.a tripod is safer in a tools designD.workers are safer on prouduction lines35.Dr.Tichauer started his experiments initially to_____.A.improve efficiencyB.increase productionC.reduce work loadD.improve comfortplete the sentences based on the word given in the brackets in their proper forms.(2%×10=20%)36.The______(保护)of the country is everyone’s duty.37.It took years for Einsten’s theory to gain____(接受).38.That was an______(多事之秋的)year.39.Xiao Wang broke a leg last week and is_____(住院治疗).40.You must_____(断开)the power before you try to fix it.41.We were stunned by the_____(宽度)of the waterfall.42.William Faulkner’s novles have been praised for their_____(带诗意的) qualities.43.It is very impolite to____(读错)the name of such a distinguished guest.44.Under her_____(领导)，the factory has fulfilled its plan ahead of schedule.45.Lisa has been_____(调动工作)from Guangzhou toa new post in Shanghai.V.Translate the following sentences into English.(5%×5=25%)46.警方提供了确凿的证据，指控他杀了自己的父亲。

For questions 8-10, complete the sentences with the information given in the passage.Guide DogsFor most dog owners, the expression “work like a dog”doesn’t make much sense. But some dogs happily perform very demanding jobs for much of their life, putting in a full day’s work just like the rest of us. Guide dogs, one of the most familiar sorts of working dog, provide an invaluable service to humans. Every day, they help their masters get from place to place more safely.What Guide Dogs DoGuide dogs help blind or visually impaired people get around in the world. In most countries, they are allowed to anyplace where the public is allowed, so they can help their handlers be in any place they might want to go to. To do this, a guide dog must know how to:·Keep on a direct route, ignoring distractions such as smells, other animals and people·Maintain a steady pace, to the left and just ahead of the handler·Stop at all curbs until told to proceed·Turn left and right, move forward and stop on command·Recognize and avoid obstacles that the handler won’t be able to fit through (narrow passages and low overheads) ·Stop at the bottom and top of stairs until told to proceed·Bring the handler to elevator buttons·Lie quietly when the handler is sitting down·Help the handler to board and move around buses, subways and other forms of public Vehicles·Obey a number of verbal commandsAdditionally, a guide dog must know to disobey any command that would put the handler in danger. This ability, called selective disobedience, is perhaps the most amazing thing about guide dogs that they can balance obedience with their own assessment of the situation.This capacity is extremely important at crosswalks, where the handler and dog must work very closely together to navigate the situation safely. Dogs cannot distinguish the color of traffic lights, so the handler must make the decision of when it is safe to proceed across the road. The handler listens to the flow of traffic to figure out when the light has changed and then gives the command “forward”. If there is no danger, the dog proceeds across the road in a straight line. If there are cars approaching, the dog waits until the danger is gone and then follows the forward command.On the Job and After HoursGuide dogs enjoy their work immensely, and they get a lot of satisfaction from a job well done, but there is noroom for typical dog fun during the work day. Games, treats and praise cannot distract the dog from helping its handler navigate the course. Even when the handler doesn’t need assistance, a guide dog on the job is trained to ignore distractions and keep still. This is because a guide dog must be able to come to the handler’s workplace or be in public places without creating a disturbance.When you see a guide dog on the job, it is extremely important that you recognize that it is at work. Petting or talking to the dog breaks its concentration, which impairs the handler’s ability to get around in his or her surroundings. People are very impressed with guide dogs and so we have a natural inclination to praise them, but the best thing you can do to help a guide dog is to leave it alone so that it can pay attention to its surroundings and maintain its focus on its handler. Guiding is very complicated, and it requires a dog’s undivided attention.When a guide dog gets home at the end of the day, however, it will play and soak up praise just like an ordinary pet. Guide dogs make the distinction between work and play based on their lead harness: When the harness is on, they must stay completely focused; when it comes off, it’s play time. Guide dogs work very hard every day, but they lead extremely happy lives, full of lots of attention and stimulation. Dogs only end up working as guide dogs if they absolutely love the work. In fact, many handlers report that their dogs leap enthusiastically into the harness every morning!TrainingPeople often raise Golden Retrievers(猎犬),German shepherds or Labradors(拉布拉多猎狗) as candidates of guide dogs. Once a dog is grown up, socialized and well trained, it goes to the guide dog school for evaluation.In some schools, if a dog is suited for training but not quite ready, it may go back to the puppy(幼犬) raiser for a month or so to mature. If a dog is simply not suited for training, the school will work to place the dog in another line of work, such as tracking, or find it a permanent home, usually offering it to the puppy raiser first. At Guiding Eyes for the Blind, only the top 50 percent of the puppies will stay with the school. So the school places a little over 400 puppies with raisers each year, needing only 200 dogs for the training program. Of that 200,a small percentage will become breeding stock, for Guiding Eyes or another school, and the rest will be considered for the training program.Training is a rigorous process for both the instructors and the dogs, but it’s also a lot of fun. To make sure the dogs are up to the challenge, most schools test them extensively before beginning the training. The tests are designed to assess the dogs’ self-confidence level, since only extremely confident dogs will be able to deal with the pressure of guiding instruction. If a dog passes the tests, it begins the training program right away.Different schools have different programs, but typically, training will last four to five months. To make sure the dogs master all the complex guide skills, the instructors have to introduce them to each idea gradually. Once they have introduced what is expected of the dog, training is essentially a matter of rewarding correct performance and punishing incorrect performance. This works with dogs because they are pack animals and have a natural need to please an authority figure. The instructor, or later the handler, is simply stepping into the place of the alpha dog, the leader of the pack.Unlike ordinary obedience training, guide dog training does not use food as a reward for good performance. This is because a guide dog must be able to work around food without being distracted by it. Instead, instructors use praise or other reward systems to encourage correct performance. The standard means of correction is pulling on the dogs leash, so that it pulls a training collar, giving the dog a slight pinch(捏，掐).Using this basic reward/punishment system, instructors work through the necessary skills for guiding.Forming a TeamThe final stage of a guide dog’s training is learning to work with its new master. Guide dog training schools work very hard to match handlers with guide dogs according to the compatibility of their personalities. A very energetic dog typically does well with a young handler, while an older handler may need an especially careful partner. Schools often have a special gathering to commemorate the time when a new class of guide dogs finally meets their masters. Often, the dogs’puppy raiser attends and meets with the new master as well. This is perhaps the most emotional time in the entire training process.After this introduction, guide dog instructors typically spend a month helping the new team learn to worktogether. Many schools have dormitories for the handlers to stay in during this final stage of training.If the handler has never used a guide dog before, a lot of the instructors work at this point are actually people training, not dog training. The handler has to learn to read the dogs movements, so he or she knows when the dog is turning or when the dog is stopping for a crosswalk or stairs. Additionally, the handler has to learn all the commands the dog knows, and must get some practice walking with the dog. The dog has to make the transition from obeying the instructor to recognizing the handler as its new master. The handler and the dog spend a lot of this time just getting to know each other, so that they are comfortable enough to work as a team. By the time they graduate from the guide dog school, they can read each others every movement.1. When a handler and a guide dog walk on the street__b______, .A) the handler must walk straight B) the dog must try to walk straightC) both the handler and the dog should walk straight D) neither of them has to walk straight2. Like other dogs, guide dogs d any command from the handler.A) are supposed to ignore B) are not supposed to ignoreC) are supposed to obey D) are not supposed to obey3.Which of the following statements is not true?cA) The handler and the dog must work very closely together.B) Dogs cannot distinguish the color of traffic lights.C) If there is any danger at crosswalks, a guide dog should notify the handler.D) If there is no danger, the dog proceeds across the road in a straight line.4. In the work, guide dogs will enjoy b .A) the fun common dogs have B) their work a lotC) the fun and praise common dogs have D) the satisfaction5. When you see a guide dog work very well, the best thing you can do for it is to c .A) praise it B) reward it C) leave it alone D) feed it6. A guide dog tells the time of play apart from that of work by b .A) the handler’s command B) its lead harnessC) the handler’s whistle D) its instinct7. When a puppy dog grows up, it is evaluated at the guide dog school to see d .A) if it is suited for guiding B) if it is ready for guidingC) if it is suited for breeding D) if it is suited for training8. Different from ordinary obedience training, guide dog training introduces praise or other reward systems instead of food .9. At the end of training, the guide dog school will make sure that the dogs work well with its new masters .10. Before graduation, the handler and the guide dog should spend time learning to read each other's every movement .Part ⅢListening Comprehension (35 minutes)总分248.5d180 Section ADirections: In this section, you will hear 8 short conversations and 2 long conversations.

Due to the obstruction caused by the mountains, Yu Gong sought to dig through them with hoes and baskets. When questioned as to the seemingly impossible nature of his task, Yu Gong replied that while he may not finish this task in his lifetime, through the hard work of himself, his children, and their children, and so on through the many generations, some day the mountains would be removed if he persevered. The gods in Heaven impressed with his hard work and perseverance, and then ordered to remove the mountains.【听力原文】Section AN e w s R e p o r t O n eKenyan police say one person was killed and 26 injured in an explosion at a bus station in central Nairobi. The blast hit a bus about to set off for the Ugandan capital Kampala. Last July, the Somali group al-Shabab said it was behind the blasts in the Ugandan capital which killed more than 70 people. Will Ross reports from the Kenyan capital.The explosion happened beside a bus which was about to set off for an overnight journey from Nairobi to the Ugandan capital Kampala. Some eyewitnesses report that a bag was about to be loaded on board, but it exploded during a security check. Windows of the red bus were left smashed, and blood could be seen on the ground beside the vehicle. Just hours earlier, Uganda’s police chief had warned of possible Christmas-time attacks by Somali rebels.Questions 1 and 2 are based on the news report you have just heard.1. What is the news report mainly about?2. When did the incident occur?Woolworths is one of the best known names on the British High Street. It’s been in business nearly a cen tury. Many of its 800 stores are likely to close following the company’s decision to call in administrators after an attempt to sell the business for a token £1 failed.The company has huge debts. The immediate cause for the collapse has been British’s slide toward recession, which has cut into consumer spending. However, the business had been in trouble for years. Known for low-priced general goods, Woolworths has struggled in the face of competition from supermarkets expanding beyond groceries and a new generation of internet retailers.Many of the store group’s 25,000 employees are likely to lose their jobs. Some profitable areas such as the DVD publishing business will survive.Questions 3 and 4 are based on the news report you have just heard.3. What do we learn about Woolworths from the news report?4. What did Woolworths attempt to do recently?Cairo is known for its overcrowded roads, irregular driving practices and shaky old vehicles, but also for its air pollution. In recent months, though, environmental studies indicate there have been signs of improvement. That’s due in part to the removal of many of the capital’s old-fashioned black and white taxis. Most of these dated back to the 1960s and 70s and were in a poor state of repair.After new legislation demanded their removal from the roads, a low interest loan scheme was set up with three Egyptian banks so drivers could buy new cars. The government pays about $900 for old ones to be discarded and advertising on the new vehicles helps cover repayments.The idea has proved popular with customers—they can now travel in air-conditioned comfort and because the new cabs are metered, they don’t have to argue over fares. Banks and car manufacturers are glad for the extra business in tough economic times. As for the taxi drivers, most are delighted to be behind the wheel of new cars, although there have been a few complaints about switching from black and white to a plain white color.Questions 5 to 7 are based on the news report you have just heard.5. What change took place in Cairo recently?6. What helped bring about the change?7. Why do customers no longer argue with new cab drivers? Section BC o n v e r s a t i o n O n eW: Good morning, Mr. Smith. May I join you on the walking exercise? I thought it is a good idea to walk around to getsome fresh air early in the morning.M: Do come along. It is nice to have some company for a good exercise. My wife comes along with me sometimes but she isquite irregular. We have a large family and she has to preparebreakfast for the children and for me.W: Do you take walking exercise every morning?M: Yes. I feel much better after a good walk in the morning. I have to sit at a desk the whole day. Some exercise before going towork helps. It clears my head and puts vigor into my body.W: Some people prefer to take an evening walk after dinner.M: I get fairly late coming back from office. Then I have my little son with his lessons in the evenings.W: These days, fitness walking is getting very popular. Nearly all men come out for fitness walking between five and six in themorning.M: I notice that they are the middle-aged and older people, who are out walking in the morning. They understand theimportance of morning exercise.W: Yes, it seems like that. The young white collars go to parties after works so often that they can hardly get up early in themorning. That is the reason for their absence from fitnesswalking.M: Also perhaps they are in the prime of life and do not feel the strain like us older men.W: You said it.M: Well, today’s walking exercise was very refreshing and informative. I must go home now and get ready for work. Seeyou tomorrow again for a morning exercise.Questions 8 to 11 are based on the conversation you have just heard.8. What do we learn about the man’s wife?9. What does the man say about morning exercise?10. Why doesn’t the man take exercise in the evening?11. What will the man probably do next?C o n v e r s a t i o n T w oM: Good morning, Mrs. I am Alexander Ford.W: Good morning. Have a seat please. Mr. Ford, we have here your application for a salesman job. Can you tell us somethingabout yourself?M: I am a graduate. I am 21 years old. In my B.A., I had commerce as my major.W: Do you have any previous experience in sales?M: This is my first regular job. I was a student before this. But I do have a little experience in sales.W: If this is to be your first job, where did you get the experience in sales?M: During my summer vacation, I used to work as a part-time door-to-door salesman for a lady who embroidered table linen at home. I went from door to door selling her handiwork. I earned a small commission on the good that I sold.W: That was enterprising of you. Didn’t that door-to-door selling interfere with your studies?M: Not really, Mrs. I did this work during my holidays when I had little else to do.W: Do you speak Hindi, Mr. Ford? That would be an essential requirement for a salesman in this area. Not everyone here speaks English.M: Yes, I do have a working knowledge of Hindi, Mrs.W: Why did you decide to take a job as a salesman?M: I think that a salesman’s job is an exciting and interesting one.It is a challenge and one would feel a great satisfaction in achieving the targets set.W: Oh, I see. Well, I think our interview is completed then. Are there any questions you would like to ask me?M: No, not at the moment.W: Well, it was nice meeting you. We will write to you shortly to let you know the result of the interview once we agree on theright candidate. Thank you for coming, Goodbye.Questions 12 to 15 are based on the conversation you have just heard.12. What’s the purpose of Mr. Ford’s visit?13. What is Mr. Ford’s major in college?14. What does the man think of the job as a salesman?15. What can we conclude from the conversation?Section CP a s s a g e O n eCars are an important part of life in the United States. Without a car, most people feel that they are poor. And even if a person is poor, he doesn’t feel really poor when he has a car.There are three main reasons the car became so popular in the United States. First of all, the country is a huge one and Americans like to move around it. The car provides the most comfortable and cheapest form of transportation. Long distance trains have never been as common in the United States as they are in other parts of the world.Nowadays there is a good system of air service provided by plane, but it is too expensive to be used frequently.The third reason is the most important one, though. The Americans spirit of independence is what really made the car popular. Americans don’t like to wait for a bus, or a train or even a plane. They don’t like to have to follow an exact schedule. A car gives them the freedom to schedule their own time, and this is the freedom that Americans most want to have.Questions 16 to 18 are based on the passage you have just heard.16. What will happen to poor American when he owns a car?17. According to the passage, which of the following is true?18. Why do Americans prefer cars to other means of transport? P a s s a g e T w oFrom the earliest times the sea has been a place of secrets—a place of mysteries hidden from us by thousands of kilograms of water. The early Greeks sailed the oceans. They wrote about the sea. But since they could not dive deep into the waters, they could not lay bare these secrets. And so the secrets remained.But today we have more ways to study the sea than did the early Greeks. Scientists are learning about life in the sea, and how it may improve life on land. The study of sea plants and sea animals mayhelp us to learn new ways of getting food.Scientists are searching the ocean floor for oil and gas deposits, to keep our world running smoothly. And they are also learning how not to pollute the oceans. For if the sea dies, so does life on earth. The sea may even become our home someday. People are studying ways to build cities on the ocean, and make more room to live in an overcrowded world.More study was done, at first, by divers. But it was too dangerous for divers to keep diving and coming to the surface.So now, laboratories on the ocean s’floor are homes for divers for months on end. Divers can work outside in the water and return to the laboratory to eat and sleep.Questions 19 to 21 are based on the passage you have just heard.19. Who wrote about the seas in early times?20. What are the scientists learning about life in the sea?21. What happens when the sea dies?P a s s a g e T h r e eIn 1945, a new type of airplane engine was invented. It was much lighter and more powerful than earlier engines, and enabled warplane to fly faster and higher than ever before. This type of engine was called the jet engine because it blows a large jet of hot airbackwards at high speeds.The first airliner to use the new jet engine was built in Britain and it began carrying passengers in 1925. It had two jet engines and flew much higher than petrol-engine airliners. At this height the air is thinner and very cold, and so the airplane can cut through the air more easily. There are no clouds to disturb the flight of the airliner, and the rain and thunderstorms are far below it. The sky above is a brilliant blue.However, because the air is so cold and thin, the cabin has to be air-conditioned and has to be at normal pressure so that the passengers may eat, read and sleep in comfort.Today all long distance airliners have jet engines. The modern jet airliners are very big and carry as many as 200 passengers. Some airliners are even bigger; they can carry 350 passengers on two different floors. In this way air travel can be made much cheaper.Tomorrow’s airliners will be flying at over twice the speed of today’s airliners. In fact, a new-type airliner has already reached this enormous speed. It can carry passengers in safety and comfort far up in the blue sky.Questions 22 to 25 are based on the passage you have just heard.22. Why can the jet plane cut through the air more easily?23. Why can the passengers in jet airliners eat, read and sleep incomfort?24. How many passengers can the biggest jet airliners described in the text carry?25. Compared with the speed of today’s jet airliners, how will tomorrow’s airliners fly?。
