At the end of each news report, you will hear two or three questions. Both the news report and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a question, you must choose the bestanswer from the four choices marked A, B, C and D.News item 1Most major car makers reported lousy（糟糕的）sales in May. Sales fell at GM, Ford, Toyota and Honda. Fiat Chrysler was the only major auto company to buck the trend, extending the company’s impressive sales growth for 74 consecutive months. Still, sales were up only 1.1% though, led mainly by strong demand for its Jeep brand.Up until recently, the auto industry has been a bright spot for the U.S. economy. Sales hit a record last year, thanks to robust demand for trucks and SUVs as gas prices remained low. But the slowdown in May is a troubling sign—especially now that energy prices have surged in the past few months. This has taken a toll on auto stocks. Ford is down more than 6% this year. GM has fallen 11%. Toyota and Honda are each down about 15% and Fiat Chrysler has plunged nearly 25%. With gas prices increasing, consumers may also increasingly choose to lease a car instead of buying one.Questions 1 and 2 are based on the news report you have just heard.1. What happened to most major car companies in May?2. According to the news report, what has the recent slowdown in the auto industry brought about?KEY1. B2. CNews item 2Women are almost twice as likely to experience anxiety as men, according to a review of existing scientific literature, led by the University of Cambridge. The study also found that peoplefrom Western Europe and North America are more likely to suffer from anxiety than people from other cultures. The review, published today in the journal Brain and Behavior, also highlighted how anxiety disorders often provide a double burden on people experiencing other health-related problems, such as heart disease, cancer and even pregnancy.Anxiety disorders, which often manifest as excessive worry, fear and a tendency to avoid potentially stressful situations including social gatherings, are some of the most common mental health problems in the Western world. The annual cost related to the disorders in the United States is estimated to be $42.3 million. In the European Union, over 60 million people are affected by anxiety disorders in a given year.Questions 3 and 4 are based on the news report you have just heard.3. According to the news report, which of the following is true?4. Which of the following does anxiety disorder refer to?KEY3. B4. DNews item 3A state of emergency has been declared in the province of Alberta in Canada after a wildfire forced all 88,000 residents of Fort McMurray to flee.Officials say the fast-moving blaze could destroy much of the city.The fire, which broke out on Sunday in the heart on the country’s oil sands region, has gutted （摧毁）1,600 buildings, including a new school.The evacuation（疏散）was largest-ever in Alberta. Oil companies operating in the area have been forced to cut output.Several firms have shut down some pipelines. This was done to help evacuate nonessential personnel, reports say.So far there have been no reports of deaths or injuries in the wildfire, but two women gave birth in one evacuation center, Reuters reported.Bernie Schmitte, an official at Alberta’s Agriculture Ministry, said on Wednesday that the “catastrophic fire” had so far “resisted all suppression methods.”First Nation communities 30 miles south of the city were given mandatory（强制性的）evacuation orders on Wednesday.Questions 5 to 7 are based on the news report you have just heard.5. When was a state of emergency declared in Alberta, Canada?6. Why did some oil companies temporarily close some of their pipelines?7. According to the news report, which of the following is mentioned as a consequence of the Alberta fire?KEY5. D6. C7. ASection BDirections: In this section, you will hear two long conversations. At the end of each conversation, you will hear four questions. Both the conversation and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C and D.Conversation 1M: Have you heard that Professor John is going to be leaving the department soon?He’s going back home to Scotland.W: Really? I didn’t know that.M: Were you ever in one of his classes?W: No, but I’ve heard a lot about the guy. Seems he’s a pretty demanding type. What do you think of him as a lecturer?M: He certainly knows his stuff, and his lectures are quite interesting. But he has extremely high standards and expects everyone to meet these standards. Of course not everyone is that capable.W: So you’re saying he’s pretty hard on the students who don’t get good grades?M: Well, it’s more than that. You kind of get the feeling that he looks down on you if you’re not a genius.W: Yeah, but university students should really be able to perform to a high level. His problem is not with the ability of some students, but with their attitude towards study.M: There certainly are people who don’t work as hard as they could. You know, always playing sports, going to parties, etc.W: How about you? What was he like to you?M: Not too bad, because I could always come up with some kind of answer for any question he put to me.W: So do you think that kind of pressure made you work harder in that subject?M: I suppose it did really. There was always the thought in the back of your mind that if you didn’t prepare properly for Professor John’s lectures then there was a chance you’d end up looking silly during the classes.W: So it sounds like the extra pressure actually works.M: Well, maybe for me. Maybe more people should change their attitude towards study. I really feel sorry to see the old fellow leave myself.Questions 8 to 11 are based on the conversation you have just heard.8. Why is Professor John leaving the department?9. What does the female student think of Professor John?10. What does the female student think university students should do?11. What effect does extra pressure have on the male student?KEY8. B 9. A 10. C 11. DConversation 2M: Excuse me, can you give me some information about purchasing a cellular phone?W: Of course, my pleasure. I will do my best to help you find a phone that suits your needs.M: Thanks. I won’t need anything too sophisticated, just your basic phone functions.W: Sure, let’s take a look. What about size, color or the brand?M: Well, I don’t really care what brand the cell phone is. But I don’t want a nything that is too big or too small. I want a phone that can fit nicely in my hand and in my pocket. If it is too big it might be too heavy, and if it is too small I might lose it. Color I don’t really care about either.Well, I don’t want a pink phone.W: OK. How about this one? This one is the R55, black, not too big, not too small, all the usual functions. The best feature ofR55 is that it can be used worldwide, even in Europe or Asia. M: It looks good. How much does it cost?W: Only $100.M: How old i s this model though? I don’t want anything too old.W: This model was introduced to the market about 3 years ago, so it is a bit older, but be assured, it will still work fine.M: Well, I still want something not as old. How about from last year? Any good phones from around that time?W: Yes, there are some. How about this one? It’s the new model of the phone you just looked at, called the W55. Most of the features are the same. There are some new features on the W55 though. The battery will last up to 2 days longer, and the overall weight of the phone is lighter. M: How much is this one?W: $150.M: OK, I think I will take this one.Questions 12 to 15 are based on the conversation you have just heard.12. What kind of cellular phone does the man want?13. Why does the man want a phone neither too big nor too small?14. What is the best feature of the R55 phone?15. What advantage of the W55 phone is mentioned in the conversation?KEY12. C 13. D 14. C 15. ASection CDirections: In this section, you will hear three passages. At the end of each passage, you will hear some questions. Both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once. After youhear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C and D.Passage 1The longer food is kept, the more likely it is to attract insects. Even foods stored in containers often attract bugs. To solve this problem, scientists have been working with different odors in an attempt to find one strong enough to keep insects from going near food. One possibility would be to use plants with strong smells, like garlic or pine, to keep insects away. Unfortunately, however, using these smells might keep some people away too!A more promising repellent（防护剂）is citronella oil, which comes from a type of lemongrass. An experiment was done using this oil with a certain insect, the red flour beetle. Scientists sprayed cardboard boxes with citronella oil and noticed that the beetles did not enter those boxes. They were much more interested in boxes that were not sprayed.One problem with using citronella oil as a repellent, however, is that it is quite ephemeral—it simply does not last very long. After a few months it loses its smell, and bugs no longer find it unpleasant. Scientists hope to improve citronella oil so that its scent remains strong for a longer time. It will also be necessary to make sure that the oil is not harmful to people, as scientists are still not sure whether it is safe to use around food.Questions 16 to 18 are based on the passage you have just heard.16. What is the passage mainly about?17. What does the speaker say about the sprayed boxes?18. What do scientists still not know about citronella oil?KEY16. B 17. C 18. APassage 2Many of us know the feeling of standing in front of a subway map in a strange city, puzzled by the multi-colored web and seemingly unable to find a route from point A to point B.Now, a team of physicists and mathematicians has attempted to quantify this confusion and find out whether there is a point at which navigating a route through a complex urban transport system exceeds our cognitive limits.After analyzing the world’s 15 largest metropolitan（大都市的）transport networks, the researchers estimated that there is the cognitive limit for planning a trip. Additionally, this cognitive limit for transportation suggests that maps should not consist of more than 250 connection points to be easily readable.Using journeys with exactly two connections as their basis, the researchers found that navigating transport networks in major cities can come close to exceeding humans’cognitive powers.Human cognitive capacity is limited, and cities and their transportation networks have grown beyond human processing capability. In particular, the search for a simplest path becomes inefficient when a transportation system has too many interconnections. Put simply, the maps we currently have need to be rethought and redesigned in many cases. Journey-planner apps of course help, but the maps themselves need to be redesigned.Questions 19 to 21 are based on the passage you have just heard.19. What is the purpose of the team of experts?20. What is the maximum number of connections for maps to be easily readable?21. What do the experts suggest doing to help search for a simplest path?KEY19. C 20. B 21. APassage 3The palolo—a worm which lives on rocks in the sea—is one of very few animals which never have contact with other members of the same species. Others, such as spiders, are normally solitary, meeting only to mate (that is, to reproduce).Some species form social links only for the period while they are rearing their young. Among birds, European robins raise their chicks in a pair, away from other members of their species, while herring gulls form larger groups (colonies) consisting of many pairs living close together, each pair raising their chicks independently.Many species of fish and birds form large groups, called schools and flocks, respectively, and swim or fly together. Hens attack each other, and eventually establish a hierarchy（等级制度）based on their individual strength. Those at the top of the “pecking order” get to eat before the others.Finally, some animals spend most or all of their lives in social groups in which individuals co-operate. Lions, for instance, usually live in a relatively permanent group, called a pride, where some activities, such as hunting, are social and others, like sleeping, are solitary.Bees, wasps and ants live in stable, co-operative groups in which every activity is communal and organized. Worker bees (which are all female) have several jobs in succession, depending on their age. They begin with cleaning duties, and later become soldiers to defend the hive against intruders. Finally they fly outof the hive to collect food. Theirs is a highly complex social organization.Questions 22 to 25 are based on the passage you have just heard.22. Which of the following animals spends most, but not all its life, alone?23. In what way are European robins different from herring gulls?24. What is said about the life of lions?25. What point is made about worker bees?KEY22. B 23. A 24. D 25. C。

We ordered some packaging machines from you, didn't we?Man: That's right, but I'm going to have to postpone the delivery date. We're havingproblems finding the right lifting machinery for them.Woman: I see.Man: Now, under the terms of the contract I signed, there is a penalty clause for late delivery.But I'm hoping Bob will waive that, since I also agreed to a very good bulk discount. Woman: I'll check for you,Man: Thanks. I've decided that, as we're doing the maintenance, I won't charge for installation.Woman: OK.

Webster's press conference has just finished, and this is what the new Managing Director said about their plans. They've built up healthy profits, which they'll spend on opening new outlets over the next five years. Next, he admitted that they're concerned about their product image, so they've established the new post of Brand Executive reporting to the Marketing Director. They want someone with fresh ideas, who'll make a big difference.Thirdly, since Webster was taken over by the Chilcott Group, they've made savings by centralising logistics, and they'll now apply that process to purchasing. They've examined the feasibility of centralising property operations, but decided against it, at least in the short term.And finally, they plan to increase spending per customer by starting a loyalty card. Experience in the rest of the Chilcott Group shows that customers who join schemes like this spend a third more than other customers, OK, that's all, Julie. Hope it's clear.[pause[Now listen to the recording again.[pause]Conversation Three.

It's Mark Hill here, the Accommodation Officer. I've just got back from looking at fifteen Lemmington Road, another possible building for our training courses. This one looks very promising, It's in excellent order, and although we might need to adapt some of the rooms, we wouldn't need to upgrade it, unlike some of the other buildings I've seen. The seminar rooms are spacious and airy, and the accommodation is modern and well laid out.The overheads are cheaper than most of the other buildings I've looked at, probably because it's new and well designed. Also on the plus side - it's slighdy out of town, so that means less property tax. The downside of that is that it's further from Head Office than some of the other possibilities. The only real problem I can see isits size. It's not a huge building, and during our peak months, it may not be sufficiently large to accommodate all our trainees.[pause]Now listen to the recording again.[pause]That is the end of Part One.

They have to be ready to spend many hours at home planning their lessons and preparing homework. They have to be well organized in class, patient with students, able to appear bright and interested even if they are in fact tired or unhappy, and lively enough to control a group of young people for almost 200 days a year. Outside the classroom, they may have to prepare teaching materials, to choose books to use as texts, to help organize the work of other teachers, or to organize spare time activities for students.If you think that you have all the necessary qualities, you may feel that you would like to be a teacher. One way to decide, if you live in the United States, is by joining a club for future teachers, such as Student Action for Education. Clubs like this give advice about your field, and also allow you to watch teachers at work, attend meetings and experiment with teaching methods and equipment. You could also talk with the job advisor at your school or university. Finally, you could try teaching a younger student or becoming an advisor at a summer camp for children. Any activity in which you are dealing with children will help you decide whether you have a calling for teaching.16. The first paragraph is mainly about ________.A) how to plan lessons and prepare homeworkB) how to help organize the work of other teachersC) various skills and abilities teachers needD) how to prepare teaching materials17.The second paragraph is mainly concerned with ________.A) the ways of deciding one's future employmentB) the ways to decide whether teaching should be one's future employmentC) joining a club for future teachersD) talking to an advisor when choosing future employment18.

In most cultures, animals are in a worse position than human beings. In some cases, however, people treat their pets like members of their families, or perhaps better. In the United States and Europe, there are special shops that sell clothing and food for cats and dogs.In many countries of the world, there is special food for pets. It is common for big markets in many places to sell cat food and dog food. However, in a small town in France, there is a special restaurant for dogs. Dogs are the only customers. There is seating for twenty of them. The dogs choose from a variety of dishes on the menu.Of course, in most parts of the world, pets don't live in such wealth and comfort. People treat their pets in a more practical way. People own cats and dogs because they keep away mice and other unwanted animals. Owners have some loving feelings for their pets, but they do not see them as equal to family members. In most places in the world, there isn't any special clothing or fine food for animals. There aren't any special restaurants for dogs.Pets around the world live in a great variety of ways, just as people do.21. According to the passage, in most countries _________.A) people treat their pets like members of their familiesB) there are special shops that sell clothing for dogs and catsC) animals are in a worse position than human beingsD) pets such as dogs and cats are very popular22.

The main idea of this reading passage is: _______.A) Dogs enjoy fine restaurantsB) A rich cat can afford to go to any restaurantC) People treat pets in very different ways in different parts of the worldD) It is stupid to have special food and clothing for animalsPassage 3What makes Americans spend nearly half their food dollars on meals away from home? The answers lie in the way Americans live today. During the first few decades of the twentieth century, canned and convenience foods freed the family cook from full-time duty at the kitchen range. Then, in the 1940s, work in the wartime plants took more women out of the home than ever before, setting the pattern of the working wife and mother.Today about half of the country’s married women are employed outside the home. But, unless family members pitch in with food preparation, women are not fully liberated from that chore. Instead many have become, in a sense, prisoners of the completely cooked convenience meal. It is easier to pick up a bucket of fried chicken on the way from work or t take family out for pizzas, or burgers than to start opening cans or heating up frozen dinners after a long, hard day.Also, the rising divorce rate means that there are more single working parents with children to feed. And many young adults and elderly people, as well as unmarried and divorced mature people, live alone rather than as part of a family unit and don’t want to bother cooking for one.Fast food is appealing because it is fast, it doesn’t require any dressing up, it offers a “fun”break.26. American women left home to work in large numbers because of_________.A) the improved living standardB) the increase in food priceC) the need of wartime industryD) the modernization of the kitchen27. The phrase “pitch in” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to_________.A) “offer help and support”B) “eat with good appetite”C) “offer compliment”D) “disagree with”28. What is a working mother’s best choice if she does not have time to prepare dinner for thefamily according to the passage?A) Making a meal out of canned food.B) Buying some chicken on the way home and frying it.C) Taking the family to dinner at a pizza place.D) Heating up frozen dinners.29. Which of the following groups of Americans are most likely to cook their meal at home?A) Single working mothers.B) unmarried mature people.C) elderly people living alone.D) Unemployed women with family.30. What is this passage mainly about?A) Women’s liberation in America.B) Changes in the American family during Word War II.C) Reasons for the popularity of fast food in America.D) Rising divorce rate in America today.Part III.

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). Y ou should decide on the best choice and write the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet. Passage OneQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:Alcohol Concern describes itself as the national agency on "alcohol misuse". Among its aims it lists "encouraging debate on the wide range of public policy issues affected by alcohol". Well, it certainly managed that yesterday with its recommendation that parents should be accused if they allow their children to drink alcohol at home before they reach 15 years of age.There was no time for anyone to digest the news before the predictable bad reputation descended on the authors. There were those who complained about the state trying control yet another area of family life: an attack on those parents who sensibly tried to accustom their children to moderate drinking before they could be tempted to binge (饮酒作乐).Then there were those who sang high praise for Continental cafe culture, where teenagers seem content to drink a single glass of wine all evening, before returning home in complete sobriety (清醒). It was, they argued, our very British preoccupation (迷恋) with alcohol, that led so many young people to over-drinking.And finally there were., the other lobby (游说) groups, representing the drinks industry, which insisted that accusing parents would not solve the problem. The young drinkers who drank alcohol from noon to night were largely out of control, gathering in parks, and to consume alcohol they had obtained who knows where,Few can doubt that Britain has a problem with young people and alcohol. If even some.of the figures produced by Alcohol Concern yesterday are correct, far, worse is to come; Drinking by 11- to 13-year-olds has soared in the past five years.To give Alcohol Concern its due, it called for much attention to this problem. But as so often with lobbyists, the sensible elements were drowned out by the desire to grab attention. The more reasonable message was lost.31. Alcohol Concern is a British organization that ________.A) represents the interests of the drinks industryB) involves itself in alcohol abuseC) takes charge of alcohol-related policiesD) aims to protect the rights of British youngsters32. Some people are against the recommendation of Alcohol Concern because they think thatA) drinking is part of British unique cultureB) it goes against British people's civil rightsC) implementing it throughout the nation is impossibleD) the government is interfering with family life33. According to the passage, what contributed to young people's indulging in excessive drinking?A) The availability of alcohol. B) Britain's fascinating cafe Culture.C) British preoccupation with alcohol. D) The family influence.34. Which of the following does the author think is the biggest trouble?A) Children are too spoiled in Britain.B) Y oung drinkers are largely out of control.C) Drinkers addicted to alcohol are getting younger.D) Nothing can be done to stop the current trend.35. What is the author's overall attitude towards Alcohol Concern?A) Critical. B) Warning. C) Positive. D) Biased.Passage T woQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:Recently, a couple in New Zealand were forbidden from naming their baby son 4Real. Even though New Zealand has quite liberal rules about naming children, names beginning with a number are not allowed. They decided to call him Superman instead.In many countries around the world, unusual names for children are becoming more popular, especially since the increasing trend for celebrities (名人) to give their children wacky names. In Britain, you can call a child almost anything you like—the only restrictions on parents relate to offensive words such as swear words.Some parents choose names which come from popular culture. For example, there have been six boys trained Gandalf after the character in The Lord of 'the Rings. Equally, names relating to sport are fairly common—since 1984, 36 children have been called Arsenal after the football team. 'Other parents like to make up names, or combine names to make their own unique version, a method demonstrated by Jordan, the British model, who recently invented the name Tiaamii for her daughter by combining the names Thea and Amy (the two grandmothers). She was quoted as saying that the accent and double letters were added to make the name “more exotic (奇异的)”.Other countries have much stricter rules when it comes to naming children. Countries including Japan, Denmark, Spain, Germany and Argentina have an approved list of names from which parents must choose. In China, there are some rules about what you may call a child—no foreign letters or symbols are allowed. As a result a couple were recently banned from calling their baby @.In Britain, some names which were previously thought of as old-fashioned have become more popular again, such as Maisie or Ella for a girl, or Alfie or Noah for a boy. But the most popular names are not the wacky ones. The top names are fairly traditional—Jack, Charlie and Thomas for boys and Grace, Ruby and Jessica for girls.36. Which of the following can be inferred from the first paragraph?A) Traditional names are losing their popularity in New Zealand.B) New Zealand has very strict restrictions on name-giving.C) Parents were more interested in popular names in movies.D) Names beginning with a number are unacceptable by rule.37. The word "wacky" (Line 2, Para. 2) is closest in meaning to "________"A) humorous B) odd C) traditional D) popular38. Which of the following names may be forbidden in England?A) Maisie. B) Gandalf. C)@Dotcom. D)Damn.39. What rule do Danish parents obey in naming their children?A) Selecting a name from a standard list. B) Making up names by themselves.C) Choosing names from popular culture.D) Naming their children after characters in literary works. ,40. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A) Names in Popular Culture. B) Causes of Exotic Names.C) Unusual Names. D) The Importance of Names.Passage ThreeQuestions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage:The Internet has become an indispensable part of life for many children and young people nowadays. Y et risks abound. Children must be protected from dangerous content, whether it's pornography (色情描写) or descriptions of violence, says Axel Kossel from the Hanover-based c't magazine. Software is capable of handling a portion of that effort. But ultimately parents need to be involved.Parents with limited Internet experience may be tempted to simply ban their children from using the Internet altogether. Neither educators nor online security experts consider this a good solution. It is important and proper to provide children with a chance to gain experience in working with media by using the Internet.The objective is to prevent the child from viewing unsuitable content. One option is programs like SafetyKid that work with so-called white lists. These allow children to enter only the addresses for pages that they are clearly permitted to use, KosseF explains. This' shielding tactic (策略) is only suitable for very young children.Programs built around blacklists sniff out violent or pornographic sites and block them. Although the lists are constantly updated, they still have weaknesses. "They can't block everything, since thousands of new sites appear every day," Kossel says.There is also free parental control software available on the Internet. However, no program works absolutely reliably, Axel Kossel says. To some extent that is because many children are more experienced about the Internet than their parents. That allows them to find relatively easy ways around the software barriers."Y ou shouldn't rely on software alone," Matthias Gaertner from the BSI confirms as well. The experts instead recommend setting up a "family PC" where everyone can surf together.41. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?A) Parents with limited Internet experience may stop their children from watching programs orDVDs on a computer.B) Educators and online security experts think that preventing children from using the Internetis a good solution.C) Parental control software is so expensive that most families can't afford it.D) Programs can't block all violent and pornographic content due to the appearance of newsites every day.42. The phrase "sniff out" (Line 1, Para.f4) is closest in meaning to "_______".A)find out B) figure out C) log out D)get rid of43. It is implied in Para. 5 that _______ .A) parents often ask their children for advice on how to use computerB) children often find it easy to filter out important data on the mtemeC) children may prefer to use programs like SafetyKidD) many children have more knowledge about the Internet than their parents44. The objective of setting up "family PC" is to _______ .A) ban their children from using the InternetB) allow parents to monitor what websites their children are visitingC) keep programs built around blacklists constantly updatedD) make it easier to install software45. Which of the following is the best title for this passage?A) Internet Everywhere B) Internet Safety Is a Top Priority.C) No Chance for Bad Sites: Parental Control Software.D) The Importance of SafetyKid Program.Section BDirections: In this section, there is a passage with ten blanks.

Then answer the questions or complete the statements with no more than 10 words.Please write your answers on Answer Sheet.Franklin D. Roosevelt, the 32nd president of the United States, was from a wealthy, well-known family. As a child, he attended private school, had private tutors, and traveled with his parents to Europe. He attended Harvard University, and afterward studied law. At age 39 Roosevelt suddenly developed polio (骨髓灰质炎), a disease that left him without the full use of his legs for the rest of his life. Even through the worst of his illness, however, he continued his life in politics. In 1924 he appeared at the Democratic National Convention to nominate (提名) Al Smith for president, and eight years after that he himself was nominated for the same office. Roosevelt was elected to the presidency during the Great Depression of the 1930s, at a time when more than 5,000 banks had failed and thousands of people were out of work. Roosevelt took action. First he declared a bank holiday that closed all the banks so that no more could fail; then he reopened the banks little by little with government support. Roosevelt believed in using the full power of government to help what he called the "forgotten people". And it was these workers, the wage earners who felt the strongest liking towards Roosevelt. There were others, however, who felt that Roosevelt's polic ies were destroying the American system of government, and they opposed him inthe same intense way that others admired him.In 1940 the Democrats nominated Roosevelt for an unprecedented (史无前例) third term. No president in American history had ever served three terms, but Roosevelt felt an obligation not to quit while the United States' entry into World War II was looming in the future. He accepted the nomination and went on to an easy victory.76. Because of polio, Roosevelt ____.77. Why were thousands of American people out of work in the 1930s?78. What kind of people admired Roosevelt intensely?79. Americans opposed Roosevelt because they thought that _______.80. What was the result of Roosevelt's third term?Part IV Writing (15 marks, 30 minutes)Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an application letter.

Academic writing among 26________________ is a way to create new knowledge.A professor 27_____________ students to write a paper. The students examine an issue, review what is already known, 28_______________ what they have learned and come to some conclusions.This means that each student-writer must 29____________ information and also take a position. The student might support an idea, question it or even 30 ______________ it. Or the writer could show how the subject may be understood better or in a different way than it has been. And the student must support the position with 31______________.Cultural differences may 32_________________ when international students try to write this way. Writing teachers say students in many countries have learned to write beautiful 33________________ something without ever stating the main idea. American college students are expected to state their main idea at the beginning of the paper. In other cultures, paragraphs may be organized to build toward the main idea, which is 34 _________________ at the end. But in the United States, the main idea of each paragraph should be in the first sentence. Another difference is about 35_______________. Other cultures may use lots of descriptive words. But American English values short, strong sentences.Graduate tutor Lars Soderlund says non-native English speakers generally have some trouble with English grammar. He says their sentences may be too long. Or they incorrectly use articles such as “a”, “an” and “the”.。

Reading Comprehension (21 points)Directions: Read the following passages carefully and do the multiple-choice questions.Text 1For years, it's been assumed that the inside environment (环境) limits the variety of plants that people are subjected to. Lately, however, plants that are usually only grown outdoors have found their way into inside spaces. There are a few simple reasons why this is.The modern inside environment can be a good place for a wide variety of outdoor plants. Plants that ordinarily cannot grow in colder outdoor weather can be protected by the inside spaces, where temperatures are easily controlled. Plants that used to be found only outside, such as trees, have become more and more popular as decorations inside houses. Orchids (兰花), which were once only found in hot places, have begun to grow well in inside places. A large number of smaller plants have also found their way into homes.One reason that the modern home has made exotic (引进的) outdoor plants more practical is the modern use of windows. In the past windows were used less often in buildings than they are today. It is partly because of the ability of large windows to admit a large quantity of light from the sun and to keep the heat in at the same time, that many outdoor plants have been able to make their move inside.It is true that most of the plants that have been successful in moving inside have been small.Some of the best suited varieties are the vines (藤本植物). Many vines that grow in natural locations make excellent decorations where other plants prove difficult to grow. Although some trees can be grown inside, it is not likely the larger varieties can be used. Unfortunately, most homes just don't have the space to grow a monkey tree.16. The passage is mainly concerned with ________.A) the ability of large windowsB) the difficulty of moving monkey trees into homesC) growing plants inside housesD) the best suited trees17. It is implied or suggested in the passage that ________.A) the inside environment can protect plants betterB) people like to use plants as decorations in their housesC) people move plants into their houses to save themD) the uses of windows in the past were not practical18. People used to believe that ________.A) the plants that could grow inside were limitedB) the plants that could grow inside were from hot placesC) the temperature in the inside environment could be controlledD) the larger plants grew better inside.19. One function of modern windows is ________.A) to allow fresh air in B) to grow plants and trees insideC) to provide heat and light D) to control the temperature20. It is not likely that large plants will move inside because ________.A) the weather is not suitable B) they cannot be movedC) they cannot be controlled D) there is not enough spaceText 2The AIDS virus is carried in a person's body fluids (体液). The virus can be passed during sex with an infected partner or by sharing instruments used to take intravenous (静脉注射的)drugs. It also can be passed in blood or fluids made from blood or from a pregnant (怀孕的) woman with AIDS to her developing baby.Many stories about the spread of AIDS are false. You cannot get AIDS by working or attending school with someone who has the disease. You cannot get it by drinking glasses or other objects used by such persons. Officials say no one has caught AIDS by living with, caring for or touching an AIDS patient.There are several warning signs of being infected with AIDS. They include always feeling tired, unexplained (无法解释的) weight loss and uncontrolled expulsion (排泄) of body wastes. Other warning signs are the appearance of white areas on the mouth, dark red areas of skin that do not go away and a higher than normal body temperature.However, just because you have one or more of these conditions does not mean you have AIDS. Always go to a doctor or health center for a complete examination. The doctor may give you an AIDS blood test.When a virus enters the body, the body's defenses against disease produce antibodies (抗体) to fight the virus. The test shows if the body has produced antibodies to the AIDS virus. Results of the test are known after a few hours. The test tells only if your body has produced AIDS antibodies. It cannot tell if you have AIDS or if you will ever get the disease. In December (1988), the United States government approved (批准) a simpler and faster AIDS blood test. The newer test can confirm (证实) the presence (出现) of the AIDS antibodies in about five minutes.21. The AIDS virus can spread ___________.A) only from a man to womanB) among those who use drug instrumentsC) by shaking hands with someone who has the virusD) by touching an AIDS patient22. It is wrongly thought that ___________.A) the AIDS virus can be passed during sexB) the AIDS virus can spread from an expecting mother to her babyC) the AIDS virus can be passed by touching infected bloodD) one can get AIDS by working or attending school with someone who has the disease23. The warning signs of being infected with AIDS include ____________.A) weight lossB) too much expulsion of body wastesC) the appearance of red areas of skinD) a body temperature higher than a normal one24. _________ can show if one has AIDS.A) Whether one has a defense method against AIDSB) Whether one has unexplained weight lossC) Whether the AIDS antibodies are produced in the bodyD) The doctor's complete examination25. An AIDS blood test shows _________.A) whether the defense method is damaged or notB) whether one has AIDSC) one has a higher than normal body temperatureD) whether antibodies are produced in the bodyText 3In the United States a university professor is given a few months of freedom from his duties about every seventh year for travel or advanced study. This period of freedom from teaching is called a "study or research leave". Its purpose is to give the professor experiences which will make him a wiser person and a better teacher when he returns to his university.Few study leaves are interesting enough to be described in national newspapers and magazines. Recently, however, there was an exception. The public learned how Dr. John R. Coleman, president of Haverford College, had spent his study leave.At the age of 51, Dr. Coleman was determined to escape from university life for a few months and to get a variety of experiences in the world of work. He especially wanted to learn about people. People who do hard physical labor were especially interesting to him."I wanted to get away from the world of words and political matters and parties —the things a president does," Dr. Coleman later explained to news writers. “As a college president you begin to take yourself very seriously and to think you have power you don't. You forgetthings about people. I wanted to relearn things I'd forgotten.”Telling no one of his plans, Dr. Coleman started his study leave on a farm in Canada, hundreds of miles from his college. Getting up at 4:30 each morning, working thirteen hours a day in fields, he prepared himself physically for his next job, digging ditches in Atlanta, Georgia. After that, the college president washed dishes in a Boston restaurant. During the last ten days of his leave, he worked as a garbage collector.26. The first paragraph is mainly about ________.A) why a professor should be free from his duties every seventh yearB) how professors spend their study leaveC) what a study leave is and its purposeD) how a study leave makes a professor a wiser person and a better teacher27. A study leave is a period of freedom from duties allowed to a university teacher who hastaught ________ since his last leave.A) for six years B) for seven yearsC) for a term D) for a university year28. People learned about Dr. Coleman's unusual experiences from ________.A) his colleagues B) the boss of a Boston restaurantC) the Canadian newspapers and magazines D) the U.S. newspapers and magazines29. Dr. Coleman carried out his study leave in an unusual way because ________.A) he hates his university life, especially his job as a presidentB) he wanted to learn about people, especially people who do hard physical laborC) he wanted to make himself known to the publicD) he wanted to write articles about people and have them printed in newspapers andmagazinesPart III.

I can still remember the wetness of the gravel under my gym shoes and how the blown leaves made the courtyard slippery as I ran recklessly to escape from my enemies between one class and the next. I slithered and came to an abrupt halt while my pursuers went whistlingaway, because there in the middle of the courtyard stood our formidable headmaster, so that he looked a little an actor costume – an impression not so far wrong, for I never saw him in a bowler hat again. He carried a walking stick over his shoulder at the slope like a soldier with a rifle. I had no idea who he might be, nor of course, did I know how he had won me the previous night, or so he was to claim, in a backgammon game with my father.I slid so far that I landed on my knees at the two men?s feet, and when I picked myself up the headmaster was glaring at me from under his heavy eyebrows. I h eard him say, …I think this is the one you want –Baxter Three. Are you Baxter Three??…Y es, sir,? I said.The man , whom I would never come to know by any more permanent name than the Captain, said, …What doer Three indicate??…He is the youngest of three Baxters,? the headmastersaid, …but not one of them is related by blood.?…That puts me in a bit of a quandary,? the Captain said. …For which of them is the Baxer I want? The Christian name, unlikely as it may sound, is V ictor Baxter –the names don?t pair very well.?…We have little occasion here for Christian names. Are you called Victor Baxter??the headmaster inquired of me sharply.…Y es, sir,? I said after some hesitation, for I was reluctant to admit to a name which I had tried unsuccessfully to conceal from my fellows.

Reading comprehensionPassage 1STRASBOURG: Fischer, the third largest brewery in France, has developed a new product that it hopes will put some life back into the beer market – a beer concentrate.The thick brown liquid is the latest product to emerge from Fischer’s laboratory. When mixed with six parts of carbonated water, the reconstituted beer is indistinguishable from the real stuff even to experts, the brewery’s president Mr. Michel Debus said.Mr. Debus said it took 30 years to develop a method of removing water from beer without sacrificing its original flavour or fragrance.Fischer uses a new process called “inverted osmosis.” The beer is forced at high pressure through a molecular sieve which separates water and alcohol from the brew.A similar process is used in some Arab countries to desalinate seawater. Fischer has patented the process but has added a secret technique to preserve the beer’s taste.“Beer concentrate,” Mr. Debus said, “is the dream of brewers all over he world.” In the beer brewing business, he said, increasing capacity meant building new, costly breweries. With the concentrate, “one plant can supply bottles of beer anywhere on earth.”1. This passage mainly deals with .A. a new kind of beer that makes the business look upB. a new kind of beer that is totally different from traditional beerC. a new kind of liquid that makes beer when mixed with waterD. a new kind of beer that takes little time to make2. The passage tells us .A. the consumers in general cannot tell new beer from the traditional beerB. some of the experts can tell the differenceC. no one can tell the differenceD. the new beer tastes better than the traditional beer3. The word “dream” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to .A. fond hopeB. imaginary eventC. incredible experienceD. wild happening.Passage 2In old days, when a glimpse of stocking was looked upon as something far too shocking to distract the serious work of an office, secretaries were men.Then came the First World War and the male secretaries were replaced by women. A man’s secretary became his personal servant, charged with remembering his wife’s birthday and buying her presents; taking his suits to the dry cleaners; telling lies on the telephone to keep people he did not wish to speak to at bay; and, of course, typing and filing and taking shorthand.Now all this may be changing again. The microchip and high technology is sweeping the British office, taking with it much of the routine clerical work that secretaries did.“Once office technology takes over generally, the status of the job will rise again because it will involve only the high-powered work – and then men will want to do it again.”4. Before 1914 secretaries were almost all men, because .A. men did not wear stockingsB. they were more diligent than womenC. women secretaries would have upset the office workD. women were too serious5. All of the following are expected of a female secretary EXCEPT .A. typingB. being her boss’s memoryC. buying present for her boss’s wifeD. dry-cleaning her boss’s clothes6. Which of the following is true about the secretaries in the future?A. They will be men again.B. They will have no clerical work to do.C. They will have higher status.D. They totally depend on high technology.ANSWER SHEETName Number ScoreⅠ. GRAMMAR1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. Ⅱ. VOCABULARYSection A1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12.

英语考试奖项介绍
英语考试奖项介绍1Oh my goodness! English exams and their awards are truly remarkable! Let's take a deep dive into this fascinating world.The National English Speech Contest Awards, for instance, have a profound background and significance. They are established to enhance students' oral expression skills and overall qualities. Isn't it wonderful? Through this competition, students can not only improve their language proficiency but also boost their confidence and public speaking abilities. How amazing is that!Then there are the outstanding awards in the College English Test Band 4 and Band 6. These awards carry significant weight in both employment and further studies. They serve as a powerful proof of one's English proficiency. Why? Because in today's competitive job market and academic pursuits, a good score in CET 4 and 6 can open many doors and provide more opportunities. Don't you think so?In conclusion, these English exam awards play a crucial role in motivating students to strive for excellence and achieving better language skills. Isn't it essential for our growth and development?2Oh my goodness! When it comes to English exam awards, there arevarious fascinating ones to explore. Let's take the IELTS high-score award as an example. To achieve this prestigious honor, one must excel in all aspects of the test. In the listening section, a candidate needs to demonstrate an acute sense of comprehension, catching every nuance and detail with amazing accuracy! How difficult is that? For the speaking part, fluency, pronunciation, and the ability to express ideas clearly and coherently are of utmost importance. Can you imagine the pressure? In the reading section, rapid and precise understanding of complex texts is essential. And in the writing section, logical organization, rich vocabulary, and flawless grammar are demanded. Isn't it challenging?Another remarkable example is the award in the Business English exam. Here, the evaluation of business communication skills plays a crucial role. How? Well, the ability to handle negotiations, make effective presentations, and draft professional emails and reports is thoroughly assessed. Does it sound easy? Not at all! It requires a deep understanding of business contexts and cultural nuances. The candidate must show excellent interpersonal communication skills and the capacity to adapt to different business scenarios. So, obtaining these awards is no easy feat, but it's surely worth striving for!3Oh, dear friends! Let's take a moment to explore the remarkable benefits that some renowned English examination awards can bring.Imagine this! When it comes to applying for studying abroad, having won an English competition award can be a shining star on your application. It shows your outstanding language skills and competitive edge. It's like a key that unlocks the door to prestigious universities overseas! How amazing is that?Also, think about the workplace. A professional English examination award can be a powerful boost for your career advancement. It proves your proficiency and dedication in the language, making you stand out among your colleagues. Don't you think it's a huge advantage?For instance, those who have achieved excellent results in TOEFL or IELTS have a higher chance of being admitted to top universities abroad. Isn't it a wonderful opportunity to broaden your horizons and access world-class education?And in the professional world, obtaining certifications like Cambridge Business English can lead to promotions and better job opportunities. How could one not strive for such valuable achievements?So, dear friends, these English examination awards are not just certificates but tickets to a brighter future. Let's work hard and aim for them!4When it comes to English examination awards, there are various kinds that deserve our attention. Take the domestic English exam awards and the international ones for example. They have significant differences both indifficulty and influence!The domestic English exam awards, such as those from national language proficiency tests, are designed to assess students' English skills within the context of our educational system. They focus on grammar, vocabulary, and reading comprehension. However, the difficulty level might be relatively moderate compared to international ones.On the contrary, international English exam awards, like those from TOEFL or IELTS, are highly challenging! They not only test the basic language skills but also emphasize on the ability to communicate effectively in real-life situations. The influence of these international awards is tremendous! They are widely recognized by universities and institutions around the world.So, which one is better? It really depends on your goals and needs. If you aim to study domestically, the domestic awards might suffice. But if you have ambitions to pursue studies or careers abroad, the international awards would be of greater significance. Isn't it an interesting and thought-provoking topic?5Oh my goodness! The significance of English examination awards cannot be underestimated. They play a crucial role in motivating students to strive for excellence in their English learning journey. Just think about it! When a student receives an award for outstanding performance in anEnglish exam, it boosts their confidence and self-esteem to an extraordinary extent. It's like a bright light guiding them forward on the path of learning.For instance, a student who has been struggling with grammar suddenly finds the determination to master it after being awarded for improvement in that area. This award serves as a powerful incentive, making them believe that their efforts can lead to remarkable achievements.However, there could be a potential downside. Sometimes, the pursuit of these awards might lead to an excessive focus on exam-oriented learning. Students might only aim to score high in exams rather than truly grasping the language. Isn't that a concerning thought? They might neglect practical communication skills and the joy of exploring the language in a broader context.In conclusion, English examination awards have both positive and negative influences. It's essential for us to strike a balance and ensure that they inspire genuine learning and love for the language. So, let's make the most of these awards and let them be a force for good in our English learning adventure!。

Reading comprehensionPassage 1Potatoes have been a staple food of the Old World for so long that it’s easy to forget that they originated in the New World. The first ones came to England from Chile in 1586 and the new vegetable soon became popular and in parts of Europe replaced bread as the staple diet of the poor. The original potatoes were misshapen and full of large deep eyes, unlike modern varieties which have been bred to be disease-free, smooth-skinned and free from deep eyes. Potatoes tend to be either floury or waxy in texture, the former being good for boiling whilst the latter are best for frying or eating cold. You can’t do better than to grow your own, which is easier than you may think-you can even grow them in large flower pots on a balcony. If you buy potatoes in a greengrocer’s, however, make sure you look for them with plenty of damp soil on them because they’re likely to be fresher than the ones that have been around long enough to have been washedand bagged in polythene! Flavour and nutrition are better retained if the potatoes are cleaned and then boiled in their skins, rather than peeled before boiling. New potatoes tastes taste great unpeeled and steamed with butter and salt.1. According to the passage, the best potatoes for boiling are the .A. waxy onesB. small onesC. floury onesD. smooth ones2. We are told in the passage that new potatoes are tasty when .A. eaten rawB. peeled and cooked with saltC. cooked and eaten without skinsD. cooked and eaten in their skins3. You had better buy .A. washed potatoesB. wet potatoesC. dirty potatoesD. potatoes kept in plastic bagsPassage 2■Nov. 4.
