What that means is that as you're typing a message in Wave, either a new message or a reply, the person you’re writing to can see what you're typing as you type it. Sounds awful, right?You don’t have to use Wave in this real-time way. It also works as a standard e-mail. What’s really different about Wave is that ifyou’re replying to a message and the person you're replying to happen to be online, they can jump into the conversation at that point, and change what is an e-mail conversation into an instant message conversation or a chat.Wave right now is still closed to most users. And Wave isn't yet connected to other communication systems, like regular e-mail, which means that the only people we can Wave with are other people on Wave as well. So we don’t yet know what using Wave will be like once it gets crowded like e-mail. Also, the technology behind Wave is far more demanding on servers and the Internet itself than regular e-mail or chat, so we don’t know if the technology will work at scale.But Wave really is a current re-think of e-mail. A lot of people won’t like it. A lot of people didn’t like e-mail either when it first showed up. But people will find real uses for Wave or whatever it becomes, and it's one of the most interesting new takes on communication. Even if you don't like it, it will make you think differently about e-mail.36. What is special about Wave?A. It makes people see each other online.B. It enables people to send real-time e-mails.C. It allows you to send more e-mails at the same time.D. It can be easily connected to other communication systems.37. It is uncertain that Wave will work on a large scale because______.A. people cannot find practical uses for itB. it will be a challenge to regular e-mailC. the technology it needs is more complicatedD. many people do not understand how it works38. We know from the last paragraph that ______.A. Wave is a basis for face-to-face communication on lineB. Wave allows people to look at e-mail from a new angleC. most Internet users will have access to WaveD. Wave is now as popular as standard e-mail39. What is the author's attitude toward Wave?A. Optimistic.B. Indifferent.C. Pessimistic.D. Critical.Passage TwoWell, it could not have got better for young Kavya Shivashankar, a13-year-old student from Olathe, Kansas as she came out very successfully at the Scripps National Spelling Bee 2009 (2009全美拼写大赛). On Thursday night she defeated the other 11 finalists to win the 82nd Scripps National Spelling Bee, taking home more than $40,000 cash money along with other prizes.Kavya Shivashankar, whose parents migrated to the United States from India, and who aims to become a doctor, enjoys playing the violin, bicycling, swimming and learning Indian classical dance.Thing came a bit late in Kavya’s life since she could win the championship with her fourth appearance in the competition.

Her last challenge was to spell out " Laodicean". The word" Laodieean" means one who is indifferent, mostly in religious matters. She spelled it correctly and a big smile appeared on her face. Kavya wrote the words on her palm each time and spelled every word correctly.After winning Kavya exelaimed," I can’t believe it happened It feels kind of unreal. " Her family was there to support her through the competition. Her father, Mirle Shivashankar said, "The competitiveness is in her.., but she doesn’t show that. She still has that smile. That’s her quality. " He went on to say that this was" the moment" they had been waiting for so long. It was like" a dream come true" for them.40. Who is Kavya Shivashankar?A.

The image of a cabin represents his birthplace. Because Lincoln’s family was poor, and no one could have predicted his later importance, the actual cabin is long gone. Therefore the design is based on the "symbolic cabin" displayed at the Abraham Lincoln Birthplace National Historic Site in Kentucky.The other designs show Abraham taking a break to read a book, the young lawyer Lincoln in front of the Illinois state capitol and a Lincoln-free image of the half finished U. S. Capitol dome as it looked during his time in office. These four coins-produced with today’s standard mix of 97.5 percent zinc and 2.5 percent copper-are intended for general circulation.The Mint also released five collectible coins that sell for more than their face value. Special editions of the four penny designs were produced with the metal content used in 1909 ; a mix of 95 percent copper and 5 percent tin and zinc. In addition, in the world of "bigger" money,2009 has brought the Lincoln Commemorative One-Dollar Coin-made up of 90 percent silver and 10 percent copper-with an image that has a Gettysburg Address theme.44. What does Paragraph 2 tell about the cabin on the coins?A. It is a symbolic cabin rebuilt in Kentucky.B. It is newly built for producing new coins.C. It has been protected well for over 200 years.D. It is exactly the one where Lincoln was born.45.

Several years ago, Belinda Ramirez read an Internet adoption listing and quickly contacted them from her home in Texas ,telling them they could adopt her unborn baby. Excited, Laura and Anthony spent weeks communicating with Ramirez and got regular updates on her pregnancy.Before long, Ramirez began to ask them for financial support. That took the Valoises by surprise. But they were willing to do a lot to ensure a smooth birth. They sent more than $1,000 to Ramirez over several months.Laura and Anthony finally drove to Texas so they could be on hand for the birth. But once they arrived,Ramirez avoided their daily phone calls. After three weeks, the couple drove back to New Yorkemptyhanded and emotionally crushed.They later learned Ramirez had been cheating about ten other peoplefor such things as Wal-mart gift cards in states ranging from California to Ohio to Florida.

They warn that angry hostile feelings can lead to heart disease, stomach problems, headaches, emotional problems and possible cancer.Anger is a normal emotion that we all feel from time to time. Some people express anger openly in a calm reasonable way. Others explode with anger, and yell. But other people keep their anger inside. They can not or will not express it. This is called repressing(压制) anger. For years many doctors thought that compared with expressing anger, repressing anger was more dangerous to a person’s health. It may speed the heart rate, raise blood pressure or sugar into the blood and narrow the blood vessels. To avoid these problems, doctors thought a person should let the anger out by expressing it freely. But recently some doctors disputed this. They said that people who express anger repeatedly and explosively did cause, in fact, more and not less anger. They said these too can cause medical problems.Some doctors say that both repressing and expressing anger can be dangerous. Expressing anger intensively may be more likely to develop heart disease, and keeping anger inside may face a greater danger of high blood pressure. Doctors say the solution is learning how to deal with anger. They say the first step is to admit that you are angry and to recognize the real cause of the anger, then decide if the cause is serious enough to get angry about. If it isn’t, they say," Don’t express your anger while angry. Wait until your anger has cooled down and you are able to express yourself calmly and reasonably. "Doctors say that a good way to deal with anger is to find humor in the situation that has made you angry. They said that laughter is much healthier than anger.52. The passage mainly focuses on ______.A. the causes of angerB. the medical treatment of angerC. the health problems caused by angerD. reasonable ways of dealing with anger53. It can be concluded from the passage that ______.A. keeping anger inside is better than expressing it intensivelyB. both repressing and expressing anger cause health problemsC. keeping anger inside is more likely to cause heart diseaseD. expressing anger freely can avoid medical problems54. The author of the passage is most probably a(n) ______.A. patientB. editorC. psychologistD. surgeon55. According to the passage, a good way to control anger is ______.A. to do sportsB. to be high-spiritedC. to turn it into laughterD. to discuss it with doctorsⅤ.

Reading Comprehension (60 points)Directions:There are four reading passages in this part Each passage is followed by five questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose one best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneResearchers have found that REM (rapid eye movement) sleep is important to human beings. This type of sleep generally occurs four or five times during one night of sleep lasting five minutes to forty minutes for each occurrence. The deeper a person’s sleep becomes, the longer the periods of rapid eye movement.There are physical charges in the body to show that a person has changed from NREM (non-rapid eye movement) to REM sleep. Breathing becomes faster, the heart rate increases, and, as the name implies, the eyes begin to move quickly.Accompanying these physical changes in the body is a very important characteristic of REM sleep. It is during REM sleep that a person dreams.61. According to the passage, how often does REM sleep occur in one night?A. OnceB. TwiceC. Four of five timesD. Forty times62. The word “deeper” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to which of the following?A. heavier.B. louder.C. stronger.D. happier.63. Which of the following shows that a person is NOT dreaming in his sleep?A. His eyes begin to move.B. His breathing becomes faster.C. His heart rate increases.D. His eyes stop moving.64. The subject of this passage is ________.A. why people sleepB. the human need for REM sleepC. the characteristic of REM sleepD. physical changes in the human body65. Which of the following is the best title of the article?A. REM SleepB. Two Types of SleepC. SleepersD. What Happens to SleepersPassage TwoThe Mother Goose Stories, so well known to children all over the word, are commonly said to have been written by a little old woman for her grandchildren. According to some people, she lived in Boston, and her real name was Elizabeth Vergoose. Her son-in-law, a printer named Thomas Fleet, was supposed to have published the famous stories and poems for small children in 1719. However, no copy of this book has ever been found, and most scholars doubt the truth of this story—and doubt, moreover, that Mother Goose was ever a real person. They point out that the name is a direct translation of the French “Mere I’ Oye.” In 1697 the Frenchman Charles Perrault published the first book in which this name was used. The collection contains eight tales, including “Sleeping Beauty,” “Cinderella,” and “Puss in Boots.” But Perrault did not originate these stories; they were already quite popular in his day, and he only collected them.66. What is suppssed to have happened in 1719?Elizabeth Vergoose wrote the first Mother Goose Stories.Thomas Fleet published the Mother Goose Stories.The Mother Goose Stories were translated into French.Charles Perrault published the first Mother Goose Stories.67. Most scholars consider Mother Goose to be _________.A. a real personB. a book written by a little old womanC. a collection by Elizabeth VergooseD. a translation from French68. When Perrault published the first book in 1679, _______.no story of the book had been known to peoplesome stories of the book were already well knownfew people were interested in the stories of the bookstories like “Sleeping Beauty” and “Cinderella” became popular69. The name used in the first book published in 1679 is supposed to have been _______.A. Mother GooseB. Mere I’ OyeC. Elizabeth VergooseD. Charles Perrault70. On the basis of this passage, what may be concluded about the real origin of stories “Sleeping Beauty” and “Cinderella”?They were invented by Elizabeth Vergoose.They were invented by Thomas Fleet.They were invented by Charles Perrault.Their writers are unknown.Passage ThreeBanks are not ordinarily prepared to pay out all accounts; they rely on depositors (储户) not to demand payment all at the same time. If depositors should come to fear that a bank is not safe, that it cannot pay off all its depositors, then that fear might cause all the depositors to appear on the same day. If they did, the bank could not pay all accounts. However, if they did not all appear at once, then there would always be enough money to pay those who wanted their money when they wanted it. Mrs. Elsie Vaught has told us of a terrifying bank run that she experienced. One day in December of 1925 several banks failed to open in a city where Mrs. Vaught lived. The other banks expected a run the next day, and so the officers of the bank in which Mrs Vaught worked as a teller had enough money on hand to pay off their depositors. The officers simply told the tellers to pay on demand. The next morning a crowd gathered in the bank and on the sidewalk outside. The length of the line made many think that the bank could not possibly pay off everyone. People began to push and then to fight for places near the telle rs’ windows, The power of the panic atmosphere was such that two tellers, though they knew that the bank was quite all right and could pay all depositors, drew their own money from the bank. Mrs Vaught says that she had difficulty keeping herself from doing the same.71. A bank run happens when _______.a bank is closed for one or more daystoo many depositors try to draw out their money at one timethere is not enough money to pay all its depositors at one timetellers of a bank take their own money from the bank72. The tellers in Mrs. Vaught’s bank were told to ________.explain why they could not pay out all accountspay out accounts as requestedmake the depositors believe that the bank was standpay out money as slowly as possible73. The main cause of a bank run is _______.A. loss of confidenceB. lack of moneyC. crowds of peopleD. inexperienced tellers74. Which of the following did Mrs. Vaught say?She know that the bank was not sound.She feared that too many depositors drawing their money would close the bank.She was not able to draw out her money.She was tempted to draw out her money.75. According to the passage, the actions of the depositors of Mrs. Vaught’s bank were affected mainly by the _______.ease with which they could get their moneyconfidence that Mrs. Vaught showedfailure of several other banks to openconfidence shown by other depositors of the bankPassage FourOne of the greatest problems for those settlers in Nebraska in the last quarter of the previous century was fuel. Little of the state was forested when the first settlers arrived and it is probable that by 1880, only about one-third of the originally forested area remained, down to a mere 1 percent of the state’s 77,000 square miles. With wood and coal out of the question, and with fuel needed year-round for cooking, and during the harsh winter months for heating, some solution had to be found.Somewhat improbably, the buffalo provided the answer. Buffalo chips (干粪块) were found to burn evenly, hotly, and cleanly, with little smoke and interestingly, no odor, Soon, collecting them became a way of life for the settlers’ children who would pick them up on their way to and from school, or take part in competitions designed to counteract their natural reluctance. Even a young man, seeking to impress the girl he wanted to marry, would arrive with a large bag of chips rather than with a box of candy or a bunch of flowers.76. What is the main topic of this passage?The solution to the Nebraska settlers’ fuel problem.Life in Nebraska in the late ninteenth century.The imporance of the American buffalo.Deforestation in Nebraska in the late nineteenth century.77. Which of the following statements is NOT true?Nebraska was not a densely-forested state even before the settlers arrived.The children enjoyed collecting the buffalo chips.The children spent a lot of time collecting the chips.Buffalo chips were satisfactory as a fuel.78. The passage implies that buffalo chips were needed _______.A. in greater amounts in summerB. in greater amounts in winterC. only in summerD. only in winter79. Which of the following does the author not express surprise at?The children needed competitions to them.The buffalo chips gave off no smell.Buffalo chips were the answer to the settlers’ fuel problem.Young men took bags of buffalo chips to their girl friends.80. What’s the best title of the passage?A. Early SettlersB. One Use of the Buffalo ChipsC. Nebraska’s ProblemsD. How Young Men Express Their Love for GirlsⅤ.

For each of them there are four choices markedA, B, C and D. Read each passage carefully and decideon the best answer.Passage OnePeoplein the mass advertising business and other peoplewho study America n society have been very interes ted in the questio n: What does the America n consume r like? Max Lerner, a well-known scholar who has studied America n society, has said that America n consumers are particu larlyfond of three things:comfort, cleanli ness, and novelty.Lernerbelieve s that the America n love of comfort perhaps goes back to the frontie r experie nce. The pioneer s had a rough life on the frontie r and very few comfort s. This experie nce may have created a strongdesirein the pioneer s and their childre n for goods that would make life more comfort able. Today, the America ns’ love of comfort is seen in the way they furnish their homes, the way they designtheir cars, and the way they like to travel.Cleanliness is also highlyvaluedby America ns. There is a strongemphasis on keeping all parts of the body clean. Perhaps the Puritan (清教徒) heritage has playedsome role in the desirefor cleanliness. The Puritans, a strictProtest ant churchgroup who were among the first settler s of America, stresse d the need to cleanse the body of dirt and of all evil tendenc ies. The saying“Cleanli ness is next to Godline ss” reflect s the beliefof most America ns that it is importa nt to keep their bodiesclean by takinga bath and wearing clean clothes every day. Indeed,many America ns are offende d by anyonewho does not followtheir accepte d standar ds of cleanli ness.In additio n to cleanli ness and comfort, America ns love novelty. They love to have thingsthat are new and conveni ent. Perhaps the love of novelty comes from their pride in their inventi veness. America ns have alwaysbeen interes ted in inventi ng new product s and improvi ng old ones. They like to see changes in cars, clothin g, and product s for the home. New modelsof cars are particu larlyappeali ng. Adverti sement s encoura ge peopleto get rid of old cars and try new ones, whether the old ones still work or not. The America n economy seems to be based on consump tion, not conserv ation.61. The best title for the passage is ______. ( )A. What America n Consume rs LikeB. The Stupidi ty of the America n Consume rsC. America n Consume rs and Puritan Heritag eD. Frontie r Experie nce and Puritan Heritag e62. According to the author, the America n consume rs are fond of the following except______.( )A. comfort and cleanli nessB. novelty and conveni enceC. clean clothes and fine housesD. thriftand economy63. The American love of comfort can be shown in the way they ______. ( )A. love new modelsof carB. eat in fast-food restaur antsC. designtheir cars and furnish their homesD. wear clean clothes and take bath every day64. America ns’ love of cleanliness is believed to be associa ted with ______. ( )A. their livingstandar dB. their lifesty leC. their Puritan traditi onD. their advance d technol ogy65. In general, America ns are interes ted in the following EXCEPT______. ( )A. inventi ng new product sB. improvi ng old product sC. buyingthingsthat are popularD. buyingthingsthat are unknown beforePassage TwoThere are two kinds of memory: short-term and long-term. Informa tion in long-term memorycan be recalle d at a later time when it is needed. The informa tion may be kept for days or weeks. In contras t, information in short-term memoryis kept for only a few seconds, usually by repeating the informa tion over and over. The following experim ent shows how short-term memoryhas been studied.Henning studied how student s who are learnin g English as a secondlanguag e remembe r vocabul ary. The subject s in his experim ent were 75 college student s. They represe nted all levelsof ability in English: beginni ng, interme diate, advance d, and nativespeakin g student s.To begin with, the subjects listened to recording of a nativespeaker reading a paragra ph in English. Following the recording, the subject s took a 17-questio n test to see which words they remembe red. Eachquestio n had four choices. The subject s had to circle the word they had heard in the recordi ng. Some of the questio ns had four choices that sound alike. For example, weather, whether, wither, and wetterare four words that sound alike. Some of the questio ns had four choices that have the same meaning. Method, way, manner, and systemwould be four words with the same meaning. Finally, the subject s took a languag e profici ency test.Henning found that student s with a lower proficiency in English made more of their mistake s on words that have the same meaning. Henning’s results suggest that beginning student s hold the sound of words in their short-term memory, and advance d students hold the meaning of words in their short-term memory.66. The purpose of Henning’s experim ent is to study ______. ( )A. how the student s remembe r English vocabulary by short-term memoryB. how the student s learn English vocabul aryC. how to improve the student s’ English vocabul aryD. how to take a languag e profici ency test67. The word “subject”in the passage most probably means ______. ( )A. the college coursethe student s takeB. the topic of the listeni ng materia lC. somethi ng being conside redD. the student s experim entedon68. Which of the following stateme nts is TRUE according to the passage? ( )A. Informa tion in short-term memoryis differe nt from that in long-term memory.B. Long-term memorycan be achieve d only by trainin g.C. It is easierto test short-term memorythan long-term memory.D. Henning gave a test on vocabul ary to his student s.69. From Henning’s results we can see that ______. ( )A. beginne rs have difficu lty disting uishin g the pronunc iation of wordsB. advance d student s remembe r words by their meaningC. it is difficu lt to remembe r words that sound alikeD. it is difficu lt to remembe r words that have the same meaning70. The passage is primarily about ______. ( )A. memoryB. two kinds of memoryC. short-term memoryD. an experim ent on studentsPassage ThreeStudy confirm s that moderat e drinkin g reduces stroke(中风) risk. Similar to the way a drink or two a day protect s against heart attacks, moderat e alcohol consump tion wards off strokes, a new study found.The study also found that the type of alcohol consume d—beer, wine or liquor—was unimpor tant. Any of them, or a combina tion was protect ive, researc hers reporte d in today’s Journal of the America n MedicalAssocia tion. “No study has shown benefit in recomme ndingalcohol to those who do not drink”, caution ed the authors, led by Dr. Ralph L. Sacco of Columbi a Univers ity College of Physici ans and Surgeon s in New York. But the new data support the guideli nes of the Nationa l StrokeAssocia tion, which say moderat e drinker s may protect themsel ves from strokes by continu ing to consume alcohol, the authors said.The protect ive effectof moderat e drinkin g against heart attacks is well established, but the data had been conflic ting about alcohol and strokes, the authors said. The new study helps settlethe questio n and is the first to find blacksand Hispanics (西班牙人和葡萄牙人) benefit as well as whites, according to the authors. Further researc h is neededamong other groups, such as Asian, who past study suggest ed may get no strokeprotect ion from alcohol or may even be put at greater risk.Among the groupswhere the protect ive effectexists, its mechanism appears to differfrom the protective effect against heart attacks, which occursthrough boostsin levelsof so-called“good”cholest erol (胆固醇), the authors said. They specula ted alcohol might protect against strokeby actingon some other blood trait, such as the tendency of blood platele ts (血小板) to clump (结块), which is key in forming the blood clots (血块) that can cause strokes.The researc hers studied677 New York residen ts who lived in the norther n part of Manhatt an and had strokes between July 1, 1993 and June, 1997. After takinginto account differe nces in other factors that could affectstrokerisk, such as high blood pressur e, the researc hers estimat ed that subject s who consume d up to two alcoholic drinksdaily were only half as likelyto have suffere d clot-type strokes as nondrin kers. Clot-type strokes account for 80% of all strokes, a leading cause of the US deathsand disability. Strokerisk increas ed with heavier drinkin g. At seven drinksper day, risk was almosttriplethat of moderat e drinker s.An expertspokesm an for the America n Heart Associa tion, who was not involve d in the study, said it was well-done and importa nt informa tion. But it shouldn’t be interpr eted to mean, “I can have two drinksand therefo re not worry about my high blood pressur e or worry about my cholest erol,”said Dr. Edgar J. Kenton, an associa te profess or of clinica l neurolo gy (神经学) at ThomasJeffers on Univers ity Medical College in Philadelphia. Instead, he said, the study provides good reasonto do further researc h and to add alcohol to the list of modifia ble (可更改的) risk factors for stroke.71. According to Dr. Sacco, ______. ( )A. differe nt wines work differe ntly on drinker s at strokeriskB. nondrin kers shouldalso consume a moderat e amountof alcoholC. drinker s shouldkeep to one kind of alcohol to ward off strokesD. moderat e alcohol consump tion protect s against strokes72. The new study conduct ed by Dr. Sacco and his colleagues is uniquein that ( )A. it refutes early studies on the protect ive effectof moderat e drinkin g against heart attacksB. it confirm s early studies of moderat e drinkin g against heart attacksC. it helps to resolve the dispute s over the effectof moderat e drinkin g against strokesD. it finds that moderat e drinkin g can benefit peopleof differe nt races equally well73. Which of the following stateme nts is TRUE about the effectof drinkin g against strokes? ( )A. Moderat e drinkin g protect s against heart attacks and strokes in differe nt ways.B. Even heavy drinker s sufferless chanceof a strokethan nondrin kers.C. Alcohol works only on patient s who sufferclot-type strokes.D. White peopleare more likelyto benefit from moderat e drinkin g than nonwhit es.74. From the fourthparagra ph we learn that ______. ( )A. heart attacks are more likelycausedy alcohol than stroke.B. moderat e drinkin g discour ages blood platele ts from clottin g.C. boostin g the levelsof good cholest erol can lead to heart attacks.D. moderat e drinkin g protect s peopleby makingthe blood cell clump.75. What is said in the last paragra ph by Dr. Kentonindicat es that ______. ( )A. he is in serious doubt about the validit y of the study.B. drinkin g alone can not protect against strokes.C. peopleshouldadd alcohol to their daily diet.D. the study has not built a link between drinkin g and high blood pressur e.Passage FourCommuni cation s technol ogiesare far from equal when it comes to conveyi ng the truth. The first study to compare honesty acrossa range of communi cation s media has found that peopleare twice as likelyto tell lies in phone convers ations as they are in emails. The fact that emailsare automat ically recorded - and can come back to haunt (困扰) you - appears to be the key to the finding.Jeff Hancock of Cornell Univers ity in Ithaca, New York, asked 30 student s to keep a communi cation s diary for a week. In it they noted the numberof convers ations or email exchang es they had lasting more than 10 minutes, and confess ed to how many lies they told. Hancock then workedout the numberof lies per conversationfor each medium. He found that lies made up 14 per cent of emails, 21 per cent of instant message s, 27 per cent of face-to-face interac tionsand an astonis hing 37 per cent of phone calls.His results, to be present ed at the confere nce on human-compute r interac tion in Vienna, Austria, in April, have surpris ed psychologists. Some expecte d emailer s to be the biggest liars, reasoning that because deception (欺骗) makes peopleuncomfo rtable, the detachm ent (非直接接触)of emailin g would make it easierto lie. Othersexpecte d peopleto lie more in face-to-face exchanges because we are most practic ed at that form of communi c ation.But Hancock says it is also crucial whether a convers ationis being recorde d and could be reread,andwhether it occursin real time. Peopleappearto be afraidto lie when they know the communi cation could later be used to hold them to account, he says. This is why fewer lies appearin email than on the phone.Peopleare also more likelyto lie in real time —in an instant message or phone call,say —than if they have time to think of a respons e, says Hancock. He found many lies are spontaneous (脱口而出的) responses to an unexpec ted demand, such as: “Do you like my dress?”Hancock hopes his researc h will help compani es work out the best ways for their employe es to communi cate. For instanc e, the phone might be the best mediumfor sales where employe es are encoura ged to stretch the truth. But given his results, work assessm ent, where honesty is a priorit y, might be best done using email.76. Hancock’s study focuses on ______. ( )A. the consequ encesof lying in various communi cation s mediaB. the success of communi cation s technol ogiesin conveyi ng ideasC. people’s prefere nces in selecti ng communi cation s technol ogiesD. people’s honesty levelsacrossa range of communi cation s media77. Hancock’s researc h finding surpris ed those who believe d that ______. ( )A. peopleare less likelyto lie in instant message sB. peopleare unlikely to lie in face-to-face interac tionsC. peopleare most likelyto lie in email communi cationD. peopleare twice as likelyto lie in phone convers ations78. According to the passage, why are peoplemore likelyto tell the truth through certain media of communication? ( )A. They are afraidof leaving behindtracesof their lies.B. They believe that honesty is the best policy.C. They tend to be relaxed when using those media.D. They are most practic ed at those forms of communi cation.79. According to Hancock, the telephone is a prefera ble mediumfor promoting sales because______. ( )A. salesme n can talk directl y to their custome rsB. salesme n may feel less restrai ned to exagger ateC. salesme n can impress custome rs as being trustwo rthyD. salesme n may pass on instant message s effecti vely80. It can be inferre d from the passage that ______. ( )A. honesty shouldbe encoura ged in interpe rsonal communi cation sB. more employe rs will use emailsto communi cate with their employe esC. suitabl e media shouldbe chosenfor differe nt communi cation purpose sD. email is now the dominan t mediumof communi cation withina companyPart IV Transla tion (15%)Directions A: Transla t e the following into Chinese.81.

Computers used to be large, expensive machines that were very difficult to use. But scientists and technicians have been making them smaller and cheaper while at the same time they have been made easier to use. As a result, their popularity has been increasing as more people have been buying computers for their homes and businesses.Computers have been designed to store information and compute problems that are difficult for human beings to work out. Some have voices that speak with the operators. Stores use computers to keep records of their inventories (库存货物) and to send bills to their customers. Offices use computers to copy letters, record business and keep in touch with other offices. People have been using computers in their homes to keep track of the money they spend.One important new use for computers is for entertainment. Many new games have been designed to be played on the computers. People of all ages have been playing these games. People also have been buying home computers to play computer games, watch movies and listen to concerts at home. They have become very popular indeed.66.

He was glad and stared at it for some time, then wrote “105”on the corner of the trademark with a pencil, meaning he had already drunk 105 bottles of the famous wine. Two days later a stranger came. He offered to pay 5 yuan for the empty Mao Tai bottle. Mr. Chen was pleased and sold it. Several weeks later, his second son brought him another bottle of Mao Tai. While examining and enjoying it, he was suddenly terrified—he found “105”—the very mark on it.71.

He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle.During the hours when you labour through your work you may say that you’re “hot”. That’s true. The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak. For some people the peak comes during the forenoon. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so, but it leads to such familiarmonologues (自言自语) as: “Get up, John! You’ll be late for work again!”The possible explanation to the trouble is that John is at his temperature-and-energy peak in the evening. Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean, and which cycle each member of the family has.You can’t change your energy cycle, but you can learn to make your life it better. Habit can help, Dr. Kleitman believes. Maybe you’re sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway. Counteract (对抗) your cycle to some extent by habitually staying up later than you want to. If your energy is low in the morning but you have an important job to do early in the day, rise before your usual hour. This won’t change your cycle, but you’ll get up steam (鼓起干劲) and work better at your low point.Get off to a slow start which saves your energy. Get with a leisurely yawl and stretch. Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the trouble some search for clean clothes by laying them out the night before. When ever possible, do routine work in the afternoon and save tasks requiring more energy or concentration for your sharper hours.76. If a person finds getting up early a problem, most probably _______.A. he is a lazy personB. he refuses to follow his own energy cycleC. he is not sure when his energy is lowD .he is at his peak in the afternoon or evening77. Which of the following may lead to family quarrels according to the passage?A. Unawareness of energy cycles.B. Familiar monologues.C. A change in a family member’s energy cycle.D. Attempts to control the energy cycle of other family member.78. If one wants to work more efficiently at his low point in the morning, he should _____.A. change his energy cycle C. get up earlier than usualB. overcome his laziness D. go to bed earlier79. You are advised to rise with a yawn and stretch because it will ______.A. help to keep your energy for the day’s workB. help you to control your temper early in the dayC. enable you to concentrate on your routine workD. keep your energy cycle under control all day80. Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?A. Getting off to work with a minimum effort helps save one’s energy.B. Dr. Kleitman explains why people reach their peak at different hours of day.C. Habit helps a person adapt to his own energy cycle.D. Children have energy cycles, too.Ⅴ.

The threat of Intemet predators (窃掠者) is indeed a tough reality, 58 shutting down the site is not the answer. If 59 shut down, another site would quickly 60 its place. Therefore, the right way is to teach teens how to use the site safely and educate them 61 who maybe predators and how to 62 them.The key to 63 safe on the Intemet is to make sure that.Y0Ur profile (个人资料)is secure. The 64 way is to change the privacy setting on your profile to “private”, which protects your information 65 only the people on your friend list can'view it. Although this is.66, it is not perfect. Predators can find ways to view your profile if they really want to,67 through hacking in (黑客入侵) or figuring out their way onto your friend list. Thus, you should never post too much personal68. Some people actually post their home and school addresses, date of birth, and so on, often 69 predators know exactly where they will be and 70 .The most information that is safe is your first name and province. Anything more is basically 71 a predator into your life.Another big problem is photos.

例文: What Will Happen If China Enters WTO?Every Chinese is looking forward to China“s entry into WTO,widely seen as a blessing and a promise of prosperity. It seems to be so at first sight, however, on reflection,we”re convinced that it“s just another coin with two sides.On the one hand, both the nation and people will benefit greatly from China“s ent ry into WTO. Shut out of WTO, China Dused to be deprived of equal trade opportunities and wasplaced at a distinct disadvantage in world trade. This situation will change if China enters WTO. In addition, foreign coMPAnies will stream into China and offer great job opportunities, which,in a sense, will relieve the unemployment problem.On the other hand,the entry will impose some negative effects on China. State-owned enterprises in China are undergoing great difficulties, which will be more acute with the flow of foreign competitors into China.In short, excited about the advantages caused by the entry,we should not lose sight of the severe challenges posed by it.范文(二)Directions:A.
