For eachblank there are 4 choices marked A, B, C, and D. You should choose the one that best fits into the passage.Children model themselves largely on their parents. They do so mainly through identification. Children identify 21 a parent when they believe they have the qualities and feelings that are 22 of that parent. The things parents do and say —and the 23 they do and say to them —therefore strongly influence a c hild’s 24 .However, parents must consistently behave like the type of 25 they want their child to become.A parent’s actions 26 affect the self image that a child forms 27 identification. Children who see mainly positive qualities in their 28 will likely learn to see themselves in a positive way. Children who observe chiefly 29 qualities in their parents will have difficulty 30 positive qualities in themselves. Children may 31 their self image, however, as they become increasingly 32 by peers groups standards before they reach 13 .Isolated events, 33 dramatic ones, do not necessarily have a permanent 34 on a child’s behavior. Children interpret such events according to their established attitudes and previous training. Children who know they are loved can, 35 , accept the divorce of their parent’s or a parents early 36 .But if children feel unloved, they may interpret such events 37 a sign of rejection or punishment.In the same way, all children are not influenced 38 by toys and games, reading matter, and television programs. 39 in the case of a dramatic change in family relations, the 40 of an activity or experience depends on how the child interprets it.21.A.to B. with C.around D.for rmed B.characteristic C.conceived D.indicative·······································密···································封··································线··········································系别：_____________ 年级：____________ 专业：____________________ 姓名：_______________ 学号：________________23.A.gesture B.expression C.way D.extent24.A.behavior B.words C.mood D.reactions25.A.person B.humans C.creatures D.adult26.A.in turn B.nevertheless C.also D.as a result27.A.before B.besides C.with D.through28.A.eyes B.parents C.peers D.behaviors29.A.negative B.cheerful C.various plex30.A.see B.seeing C.to see D.to seeing31.A.modify B.copy C.give up D.continue32.A.mature B.influenced C.unique D.independent33.A.not B.besides C.even D.finally34.A.idea B.wonder C.stamp D.effect35.A.luckily B.for example C.at most D.theoretically36.A.death B.rewards C.advice D.teaching37.A.as B.being C.of D.for38.A.even B.at all C.alike D.as a whole39.A.Oh B.Alas C.Right D.As40.A.result B.effect C.scale D.causeIII. Reading ComprehensionDirections: After reading the following passages, you will find 5 questions or unfinished statement. For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A, B, C or D. You should make the correct choice.Passage OneJust as exercise strengthens the heart and lungs, bones and muscles, it may also power up the brain. A succession of scientific studies of animals implies that physical activity has a positive effect on mental functioning.“It’s clear that the brain benefits from exercise,” says scientist William Greenough of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. His studies with rats have demonstrated two primary effects of activity: vigorous physical exercise provides the brain with more fuel, and skill-based exercise increases the formation of connections in the brain, which, according to the proposals of some scientists, may make the brain better able to process information.In one experiment, laboratory rats were separated into three groups. One group was exercised by running inside an automatic wheel, a second group improved their skills in a complicated obstacle course, and a third group was inactive.“The animals that learned to go through the obstacle course exhibited a greater number of brain connections than the animals in the exercised or inactive groups,” Greenough said. “In contrast, the animals that exercised inside the automatic wheel possessed a greater density of blood vessels in the brain than did either of the other two groups of animals.”Learning a new dance step may boost the brain in the same way that learning a language can, he says. And if the dance is a good physical exercise as well, the benefits multiply. Y oung brains may be especially able to boost brain power through exercise, suggested another of Greenough’s experiments that showed the most significant changes in the brain occurred among rats that had been exercised when very young. And while animals aren’t people, he says it is logical to make the inference that an effect found in rats may also apply to humans.Human studies have focused primarily on older adults and suggest that regular exercise can improve the speed with which the brain processes information. Measurements made by Arthur Kramer at the University of Illinois demonstrated that inactive adults, aged 63 to 82, could hit buttons faster in response to a tone after they went through a 10-week water exercise course. A corresponding control group that didn’t exercise showed no improvement.41.__________ can benefit from physical exercise.A. Only the heart and lungsB. Only bones and musclesC. Only the brainD. All of the above42. What makes the brain better able to process information?A. V igorous physical exercise.B. Skill-based exercise.C. Both of them.D. Neither of them.43. While _________ of rats showed a greater number of brain connections, ________ had a greater density of blood vessels in the brain.A. the first group/the third groupB. the second group/the third groupC. the first group/the second groupD. the second group/the first group44. One possible reasons for scientists to make experiments with rats or other animals is that _____.A. rats benefits from the experimentsB. the experiments can boost the brains of the ratsC. an effect found in rats may also apply to humansD. rats and humans are very much alike45. Which word in Paragraph 6 tells us that older adults were divided into two groups in the humans studies?A. Corresponding.B. Inactive.C. Older.D. Faster./Passage T woMary Engelbreit was a talented but struggling artist in her mid-twenties when she flew to New Y ork from her native Saint Louis, hoping to find work illustrating children’s books----her life’goal. So she was disappointed when all the book publishers she visited turned her down. One even suggested her drawings might be better suited to greeting cards.“I was crushed,” she admits. Greeting cards seemed a comedown from her high expectations, but the advice stayed with her, and she decided to give it a try. The results transformed her life forever.Today Mary Engelbreit sells an astonishing 14 million greeting cards a year. Her popular designs appear on more than 2,000 products, including books, calendars, and kitchen items. She runs a retail company and the annual sales are in the $100 million range----all as a result of that fateful, disappointing trip to New Y ork.Once you know Engelbreit’s distinctive style, you can recognize her cards from 200 paced away----bright, funny, and with an eye to the past. Engelbreit is cheerful, down-to-earth, humorous, and always cute. “ I think the world could use more cuteness,”she explains. Indeed, it’s her trademark.With her work taking off in so many directions, it was perhaps inevitable that Engelbreitwould eventually realize her dream of illustrating a children’s book. In 1993 she created drawings for a children’book and saw it become a best-seller. At the same time she made a surprising discovery: “It was fun, but oddly enough, I like doing greeting cards best.”46. When she flew to New Y ork, Mary Engelbreit expected ______.A. she would be better suited to drawing greeting cardsB. she would be turned down by the book publishersC. she would give a try at drawing greeting cardD. she would illustrate children’s book47. As a result of that fateful, disappointing trip to New Y ork, Engelbreit______.A. gave up on drawing illustrationsB. drew illustrations for a children’s bookC. became a successful illustrator for greeting cardsD. made a drawing of a young girl in overalls.48. Y ou can tell Engelbreit’s cards from 20 paces away by their style of being____.A. plain and funnyB. bright and funnyC. plain and boldD. serious49. Which of the following characteristics is most important to Mary Engelbreit？A. CuteB. down-to-earthC. cheerfulD. humorous50. According to the writer, Mary Engelbreit finally realized her dream of illustrating children’sbook because____.A. she learned how to illustrate children’s booksB. she kept her feet firmly on the groundC. she overcame many difficultiesD. she succeeded in many different waysPassage ThreeAmy High is decked out in the traditional pink dress and golden stole of ancient Rome. She bursts into a third-grade classroom and greets her students: "Salvete, omnes!" (Hello, everyone!) The kids respond in kind, and soon they are studying derivatives. "How many people are in a duet?" High asks. All the kids know the answer, and when she asks how they know, a boy responds, "Because duo is 'two' in Latin." High replies, "Plaudite!" and the 14 kids erupt in applause. They learn the Latin root later, or side, and construct such English words as bilateral and quadrilateral. "Latin's going to open up so many doors for you," High says. "Y ou're going to be able to figure out the meaning of words you've never seen before."High teaches at Providence Elementary School in Fairfax City, V a., which has a lot riding on the success of her efforts. As part of V irginia's high-stakes testing program, schools that don't boost their scores by the year 2007 could lose state funding. So Fairfax City, just 18 miles southwest of the White House, has upgraded its two crumbling elementary schools with new high-tech television studios, computer labs and one very old feature--mandatory Latin.Here lies one of the more counterintuitive developments of the standardized-testing movement: Though some critics complain that teachers are forced to dumb down their lessons and "teach to the test,"some schools are offering more challenging course work as a way of engaging students. In the past three years, scores of elementary schools in high-stakes testing states such as Texas, V irginia and Massachusetts have added Latin programs. Says Allen Griffith, a member of the Fairfax City school board: "If we’re trying to improve English skills, teaching Latin is an awfully effective, proved method."This is not your father's Latin, which was taught to elite college-bound high schoolers and drilled into them through memorization. Its tedium and perceived irrelevance almost drove Latin from public schools. Today's growth in elementary school Latin has been spurred by new, interactive oral curriculums, enlivened by lessons in Roman mythology and culture. "One thing that makes it engaging for kids is the goofy fun of investigating these guys in togas," says Marion Polsky, author of First Latin: A Language Discovery Program, the textbook used in Fairfax City.Latin enthusiasts believe that if young students learn word roots, they will be able to decipher unfamiliar words. (By some estimates, 65% of all English words have Latin roots.) Latin is an almost purely phonetic language. There are no silent letters, and each letter represents a single sound. That makes it useful in teaching reading. And once kids master the grammatical structure of Latin--which is simple, logical and consistent--they will more easily grasp the many grammatical exceptions in English.51.From the first Paragraph we learn that _____.A. the students show little interest in learning LatinB. the students say hello to their teacher in LatinC. Amy High teaches the students to read Bible in LatinD. learning English is unnecessary if you have perfectly mastered Latin52.Which of the following statements is not true according to the text?A. The testing program is crucial to the schools.B. Latin is compulsory to the elementary schools students in Fairfax City.C. Providence Elementary School will not get state funding this year.D. Fairfax City government had done a lot to equip its elementary schools.53.According to Allen Griffith, Latin _______.A. has little to do with EnglishB. is very helpful to one’s learning EnglishC. will replace English in the near futureD. should be taught to kids even when they are in elementary school54.Which of the following best defines the word “plaudite”?A. Great.B. Sorry.C. Class is overD. Sad.55.One reason for Latin enthu siasts to support young students’ learning Latin is _______.A. Latin has a longer history than EnglishB. Latin has less word rootsC. every letter in English word represent a single soundD. Learning Latin will facilitate English learning菏泽学院2008级本科2009-2010学年第1学期《新视野大学英语1》答案卷（A ）110分钟IV . T ranslation.

Questions 1 to 5 are based on the same passage or dialog. Language is a way to communicate with each other. We started to learn language when we were born. However, people are used to speaking their native language, so immigrants are having many problems between the first generation and the second generation because they don't have the same native language. Also, the second generation is losing their identity. Especially in America, there are many immigrants that came from different countries to succeed in the States. Because they suffer in lots of areas such as getting a job and trying to speak English, they want their children to speak English, not only at school, but also at home in order to be more successful. Because of this situation, their children are losing their ethnic identity and, even more, they are ignoring their parents whose English is not very good.I think most immigrants are trying to preserve their native language in their new country, but this doesn't help very much in getting a good job. My aunt didn't teach Korean to her children in order to help them succeed in the US; she did so, hopefully, to help them establish a Korean identity. Though the second generation is born in the new country, they often get confused about their identity. My cousins told me that when they visited Korea a few years ago, they felt different from other Koreans. They could even feel it just strolling around the street because they wore different clothes. We must realize that language is important and valuable for many reasons. Immigrants should make an effort not to be ignored by their children and to make their children understand their heritage by teaching them the parents' language. This is important in helping the second generation establish their identity.1.Which people are having trouble with language?A. Natives.B. People of the 2nd generation.C. People when born.D. Immigrants.2.Why are children ignoring their parents?A. Children have lost their identity.B. Parents cause children to suffer.C. They speak different languages.D. They have different job levels.3.The author's aunt taught Korean ________.A. so she could preserve her languageB. so she would have a job in AmericaC. to help children succeed in their new countryD. to help children keep their Korean identity4.The author's cousins felt ________.A. they were not similar to people in KoreaB. they could not get a job in AmericaC. it was all right to look and feel differentD. it was important to keep their identity5. A proper title for this passage is ________.A. The Identity of the Second GenerationB. Korean Problems in AmericaC. Learning a New Language in the USD. Keeping Your Culture in a New LandQuestions 6 to 10 are based on the same passage or dialog.Two similar-sounding English words caused trouble for a man who wanted to fly from Los Angeles to Oakland, California. Hisproblems began at the airport in Los Angeles. He thought he heard his flight announced, so he walked to the gate, showed his ticket, and got on the plane. After flying for twenty minutes, the man began to worry. Oakland was north of Los Angeles, but the plane seemed to be heading west, and when he looked out his window all he could see was ocean. "Is this plane going to Oakland?" he asked the flight attendant (服务员). The flight attendant was shocked. "No," she said. "We're going to Auckland-Auckland, New Zealand."English is not the only language with similar-sounding words. Other languages, too, have words that can cause mistakes, especially for foreigners.Auckland and Oakland. When similar-sounding words cause a mistake, probably the best thing to do is just laugh and learn from it. Of course, sometimes it's hard to laugh. The man who traveled to Auckland instead of Oakland didn't feel like laughing. But even that mistake turned out all right in the end. The airline (航空公司) paid for the man's hotel room and meals in New Zealand and for his flight back to California. "Oh well," the man later said, "I always wanted to see New Zealand."6.The main topic of this passage is ________.A. mistakes made by people in airportsB. troubles experienced by foreigners in a new countryC. difficulties had by people when taking a planeD. problems caused by words that sound alike7.She told him the plane would arrive in ________.A. OaklandB. AucklandC. Los AngelesD. California8.The man realized something was wrong when ________.A. he landed in Oakland, CaliforniaB. he saw that the flight attendant was shockedC. he noticed the direction of the planeD. he walked up to the gate9.The sentence "Oh well, I always wanted to see NewZealand." reflects ________.A. the man's sense of humorB. the man's frustrationC. the man's disappointmentD. the man's despair10.According to the passage one proper way to deal with amistake caused by similar-sounding words is ________.A. to have a sharp earB. to learn a good pronunciationC. to speak clearly and slowlyD. to laugh and learn from itPart 1 Fill in the Blanks (with the initial letters provided) (每小题: 1 分; 满分：28 分)小题得分对错学生答案Correct1. justice2. justice3. whistle4. whistle5. beneath6. beneath7. grasp8. terror9. terror10. faithful11. faithful12. merry13. drained14. drained15. restrain16. restrain17. restrain18. pray19. pray20. inspire21. rivals22. rivals23. agreeable24. agreeable25. delivery26. beneath27. grasp28. terrorSubtotal: 26 Part 2 Fill in the Blanks (with the right preposition or adverb) (每小题: 1.5 分; 满分：27 分)小题得分对错学生答案Correct1. on2. on3. down4. down5. out6. along7. on8. on9. home10. home11. in12. with13. on14. on15. through16. through17. up18. intoSubtotal: 27 Part 3 Cloze (with four choices provided) (每小题: 1.5 分; 满分：30 分)(In the case of True/False type of questions, A stands for True and B for False, or A for Y, B for N and C for NG.)小题得分对错学生答案Correct1. reckon2. set up3. revolve4.

During the long vacation I was accepted as a trainee bus conductor. I found the job fiercely demanding even on a short route with a total of about two dozen passengers. I pulled the wrong tickets, forgot the change and wrote up my log (行程记录) at the end of each trip in a way that drew hollow laughter from the inspectors. The inspectors were likely to check at any time. A conductor with twenty years' service could be dismissed if an inspector caught him accepting money without pulling a ticket.It was hot that summer: 100° Fahrenheit (华氏) every day. Inside the bus it was 30° hotter still. It was so jammed inside that my feet weren't touching the floor. I couldn't blink (眨眼睛) the sweat out of my eyes. There was no hope of collecting any fares.In these circumstances I was scarcely to blame. I didn't even know where we were, but I guessed we were at the top just before Market Street. I pressed the bell, the doors closed, and the bus surged forward. There were shouts and yells from down the back, but I thought they were the angry cries of passengers who had not got on. Too late I realized that they were coming from within the bus. The automatic doors at the back of the bus had closed around an old lady's neck as she was getting on. Her head was inside the bus. The rest of her, carrying a shopping bag was outside. I knew none of this at the time.When I at last signaled the driver to stop, he crashed to a halt and opened the automatic doors. The woman dropped to the road. Unfortunately, the car behind turned out to be full of inspectors. Since it would have made headlines if a university student had almost half-killed a woman of an advanced age, I was given theopportunity to leave quietly.1.What do we learn about the inspectors in the first paragraph?A. They found the writer amusing.B. They never wore uniforms.C. They were feared by employees.D. They distrusted older employees.2.Why was the writer unable to do his job properly?A. He wasn't tall enough.B. The buses were too fast.C. People avoided paying.D. He couldn't move.3.The old lady in the incident described ________.A. was injuredB. faintedC. was draggedD. hit her head4.When the incident with old lady happened, ________.A. the writer had already decided to give up the jobB. the writer's employers wanted to avoid publicityC. the writer was offered the chance to continueD. the consequences were as the writer expected5.What is the writer's attitude now to the job?A. He feels responsible for the incident that ended it.Questions 6 to 10 are based on the same passage or dialog. My love of nature goes right back to my childhood, to the times when I stayed on my grandparent's farm in Suffolk. I think it was my grandmother who encouraged me more than anyone: she taught me the names of wildflowers and got me interested in looking at the countryside, so it seemed obvious to go on to do Zoology at university.I didn't get my first camera until after I'd graduated, when I was due to go diving in Norway and needed a method of recording the sea creatures I would find there. My father didn't know anything about photography, but he bought me an Exacta, which was really quite a good camera for the time, and I went off to take my first pictures of sea anemones (海葵) and starfish (海星). I became keen very quickly, and I learnt how to develop and print.I've tried from the beginning to produce pictures which are always biologically correct. There are people who will alter thingsdeliberately: you don't pick up sea creatures from the middle of the shore and take them down to attractive pools at the bottom of the shore without knowing you're doing it.There can be a lot of ignorance in people's behaviour towards wild animals and it's a problem that more and more people are going to wild places: while some animals may get used to cars, they won't get used to people suddenly rushing up to them. The sheer pressure of people, coupled with the fact there are increasingly few places where no-one else has photographed, means that over the years, life has become much more difficult for the professional wildlife photographers.Nevertheless (然而), wildlife photographers play a very important part in educating people about what is out there and what needs conserving. Although photography can be an enjoyable pastime (消遣), as it is to many people, it is also something that plays a very important part in educating young and old alike. 6.The author decided to go to university and study ZoologyB. He thinks that he was unfairly treated by the inspectors.C. He is ashamed that he was incapable of doing it properly.D. He believes that it was an impossible job to do well.because ________.A. she wanted to improve her life in the countrysideB. she was persuaded to do so by her grandmotherC. she was keen on the natural worldD. she wanted to stop moving around all the time7.How is the author different from some of the other wildlifephotographers she meets?A. She tries to make her photographs as attractive aspossible.B. She takes photographs which record accurate naturalconditions.C. She likes to photograph plants as well as wildlife.D. She knows the best places to find wildlife.8.The author now finds it more difficult to photograph wildanimals because ________.A. there are fewer of themB. they have become more nervous of peopleC. it is harder to find suitable placesD. they have become frightened of cars9.According to the author, wildlife photography is importantbecause it can make people realize that ________.A. photography is an enjoyable hobbyB. we learn little about wildlife at schoolC. it is worthwhile visiting the countrysideD. it is important to look after wild animals10.Which of the following describes the author?A. Proud.B. Sensitive.C. Aggressive.D. Disappointed.Part 5 Reading Comprehension (Banked Cloze)(每小题：1 分)Directions: Fill in the blanks in the following passage by selecting suitable words from the Word Bank.

For questions 1-7, choose the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C and D. For questions 8-10, complete the sentences with the information given in the passage.Questions 1 to 10 are based on the same passage or dialog.The Peace CorpsThe Peace Corps is an independent federal agency of the United States designed to promote mutual understanding between Americans and the outside world. The Peace Corps was established by executive order in 1961 by President John F. Kennedy and approved by Congress as a permanent agency within the State Department later that year. The program came about during the Cold War and was designed to oppose the Soviet challenge to Western influence in the widely open Third World area of superpower competition. More than 180,000 Americans have served in the Peace Corps since its beginning.Purpose & functionThe program officially has three goals. The first is to help the people of interested countries and areas in meeting their needs for trained workers. The second is to help promote a better understanding of Americans on the part of the peoples served. And the third is to help promote a better understanding of other peoples on the part of Americans.The Peace Corps works by first announcing its availability to foreign governments. These governments then determine areas in which the organization can be involved. The organization then matches the requested assignments to its pool of applicants and sends those volunteers with the appropriate skills to the countries that first made the requests.Background & historySince the end of the Second World War, various members of the United States Congress had proposed bills to establish volunteerorganizations in the Third World. In 1952 Senator Brien McMahon proposed an "army" of young Americans to act as "bringers of democracy". Privately funded non-religious organizations had been sending volunteers overseas since the 1950s.John F. Kennedy first announced his own idea for such an organization during the 1960 presidential campaign at a late-night speech at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor on October 14. During a later speech in San Francisco, California on November 1, he named this proposed organization the "Peace Corps". Critics of the program (including Kennedy's opponent, and future United States president, Richard M. Nixon) claimed the program would be nothing but a place for young people to hide from military service. Others doubted whether college-aged volunteers had the necessary skills. The idea was popular among most college students, however, and Kennedy continued to pursue it, asking respected academics such as Max Millikan and Chester Bowles to help him outline the organization and its goals. During his opening address as president, Kennedy again promised to create the program.Established & approvedOn March 1, 1961, Kennedy signed an Executive Order which officially started the Peace Corps. Concerned with the growing tide of revolutionary feelings in the Third World, Kennedy saw the Peace Corps as a means of countering the notions of the "Ugly American", especially in the emerging nations of postcolonial Africa and Asia.On March 4, Kennedy appointed Sargent Shriver to be the program's first director. Shriver was tasked with fleshing out the organization, which he did with the help of Warren W. Wiggins and others. Shriver and his think tank outlined the three major goals of the Peace Corps and decided the number of volunteers they needed to recruit. The program began recruiting volunteers that following July.Until about 1967, applicants to the Peace Corps had to pass a placement test that tested "general knowledge" (knowledge of various skills needed for various Peace Corps assignments) and language ability. After an address from Kennedy, who was introduced by Rev. Russell Fuller of Memorial Christian Church, Disciples of Christ, on August 28, 1961, the first group of volunteers left for Ghana and Tanzania. The program was formally approvedby Congress on September 22, 1961 and within two years over 7,300 Peace Corps volunteers were serving in 44 countries. This number would jump to 15,000 in June of 1966, the largest number in the organization's history.Early troubles for the Peace CorpsThough the organization was begun with the noblest of intentions, it experienced a big controversy in its very first year of operation. On October 13, 1961, a postcard written by a volunteer named Marjorie Michelmore in Nigeria to her boyfriend in the US caused some problems. In it, she described Nigeria as "ugly and absolutely primitive in living conditions". This postcard, however, never made it out of the country. A student at the University College at Ibadan found it and made copies to distribute around campus. Nigerian students accused the volunteers of being spies of the US government. Soon the international press picked up the story and this led several people in the US administration to question the future of the program as a whole. Nigerian students protested the program, and the American volunteers hid themselves away and eventually began a hunger strike. After several days, the Nigerian students agreed to open a dialogue with the Americans.Independent statusIn July 1971, President Nixon brought the Peace Corps under the umbrella agency, ACTION. The Peace Corps would remain under ACTION until President Jimmy Carter declared it fully independent in a 1979 executive order. This independent status would be further secured when Congress passed legislation in 1981 to make the organization an independent federal agency.Programs branching outAt this time, the Peace Corps began branching out past its traditional concerns of education- and agriculture-related projects. In 1982, Director Loret Miller Ruppe began several newbusiness-related programs. For the first time, a large number of conservative and Republican volunteers joined the group of overseas volunteers, and the organization continued to reflect the evolving political and social conditions in the United States.Funding cuts during the early 1980s dropped the number of volunteers to 5,380, its lowest level since the organization's early years. Funding began to increase in 1985, and Congress passedan initiative to raise the number of volunteers to 10,000 by 1992.After the September 11, 2001 attacks alerted the nation to growing anti-US feelings in the Middle East, President George W. Bush pledged to double the size of the organization within five years as a part of the War on Terrorism. For 2004, Congress passed a budget increase at $325 million, $30 million above that of 2003 but $30 million below the President's request.Now, the Peace Corps is trying to double the number of volunteers it sends abroad by 2007. This is in accordance with Bush's request in 2002. According to Joseph Kennedy, "The American reputation has taken a hit in the last couple of years. The need for the Peace Corps couldn't be more urgent than it is right now, at this moment. The Peace Corps shows what is best in America, the generosity of spirit." The Peace Corps is trying to get more diverse volunteers of different ages. This is important so that the Peace Corps can look "more like America" (in the words of Vasquez, its director).1.When first designed, the purpose of the Peace Corps was to________________.A. promote President John F. Kennedy with his executivepowerB. promote the Cold War against Soviet challenges andinfluencesC. improve mutual understanding between the States and theoutside worldD. strengthen the US State Department with a permanentagency2.One of the Peace Corps' three official goals is to________________.A. get help from interested countriesB. announce its availabilityC. educate Americans about other peoplesD. make countries interested in America3.Richard M.

A succession of scientific studies of animals implies that physical activity has a positive effect on mental fun cti oning.“It 'ear that the brain ben efits from exercise, says scie ntist William Gree no ugh of the Un iversity of Illi nois at Urba na-Champaig n. His studies with rats have dem on strated two primary effects of activity: vigorous physical exercise provides the brain with more fuel, and skill-based exercise in creases the formati on of conn ecti ons in the brai n, which, according to the proposals of some scientists, may make the brain better able to process in formati on.In one experime nt, laboratory rats were separated into three groups.One group was exercised by running in side an automatic wheel, a sec ond group improved their skills in a complicated obstacle course, and a third group was in active.“ Theanimals that learned to go through the obstacle course exhibited a greater number of brain connections than the animals in the exercised or in active groups, ” Greeno ugh said. “ In con trast, the animathat exercised in side the automatic wheel possessed a greater den sity of blood vessels in the brain than did either of the other two groups of an imals.Lear ning a new dance step may boost the brain in the same way that learning a Ianguage can, he says. And if the dance is a good physical exercise as well, the ben efits multiply. Young brains may be especially able to boost bra in power through exercise, suggested ano ther of Gree no ugh ' s experime nts that showed the most sig nifica nt cha nges in the brain occurred among rats that had bee n exercised whe n very young. And while animals aren 'people, he says it is logical to make the inference that an effect found in rats may also apply to huma ns.Huma n studies have focused primarily on older adults and suggest that regular exercise can improve the speed with which the brain processes information. Measurements made by Arthur Kramer at the Un iversity of Illi nois dem on strated that in active adults, aged 63 to 82, could hit buttons faster in responseto a tone after they went through a 10-week water exercise course. A corresp onding con trol group that did n exercise showed no improveme nt.41.____________ can ben efit from physical exercise.A.Only the heart and lungsB.Only bones and musclesC.Only the brainD.All of the above42.What makes the brain better able to process in formati on?A.Vigorous physical exercise.B.Skill-based exercise.C.Both of them.D.Neither of them.43.While ______________ of rats showed a greater number of brainconn ecti ons, ___________ had a greater den sity of blood vessels in the brain.A.the first group/the third groupB.the sec ond group/the third groupC.the first group/the sec ond groupD.the second group/the first group44.One possible reason for scientists to make experiments with rats orother ani mals is that _______ .A.rats ben efits from the experime ntsB.the experiments can boost the brains of the ratsC.an effect found in rats may also apply to huma nsD.rats and huma ns are very much alike45.Which word in Paragraph 6 tells us that older adults were divided into two groups in the huma ns studies?A.Corresp onding.B.

High replies, "Plaudite!" and the 14 kids eruptin applause. They learn the Latin root later, or side, and con struct such En glish words as bilateral and quadrilateral. "Latin's going to open up so many doors for you," High says. "You're going to be able to figure out the meaning of words you've n ever see n before."High teaches at Provide nee Eleme ntary School in Fairfax City, Va., which has a lot ridi ng on the success of her efforts. As part of Virgi nia's high-stakes testi ng program, schools that don't boost their scores by the year 2007 could lose state funding. So Fairfax City, just 18 miles southwest of the White House, has upgraded its two crumbling eleme ntary schools with new high-tech televisi on studios, computer labs and one very old feature--ma ndatory Lati n.Here lies one of the more counterintuitive developments of the standardized-testingmovement: Though some critics complain that teachersare forced to dumb dow n their less ons and "teach to the test," some schools are offering more challenging course work as a way of engaging students. In the past three years, scores of elementary schools in high-stakes test ing states such as Texas, Virgi nia and Massachusetts have added Latin programs. Says Allen Griffith, a member of the Fairfax City school board: "If we ' re thyiPEPt® English skills, teaching Latin is an awfully effective, proved method."This is not your father's Latin, which was taught to elite college-bound high schoolers and drilled into them through memorization. Its tedium and perceived irrelevance almost drove Latin from public schools. Today's growth in eleme ntary school Lat in has bee n spurred by n ew, in teractive oral curriculums, en live ned by less ons in Roma n mythology and culture. "One thing that makes it engaging for kids is the goofy fun of investigating these guys in togas," says Marion Polsky, author of First Lat in: A Lan guage Discovery Program, the textbook used in Fairfax City.Latin enthusiasts believe that if young students learn word roots, they will be able to decipher un familiar words. (By some estimates, 65% of all English words have Latin roots.) Latin is an almost purely phonetic Ian guage. There are no sile nt letters, and each letterreprese ntsa si nglesound.

1a:Learning a foreign languageLearning a foreign language was one of the most difficult yet mostrewardingexperiences of my life.Although at times learning a language was rustrating, it was well worth the effort.My experience with learning a foreign language began in junior middle school, when I took my first English class.I had a kind and patient teacher who often praised all of the students.Because of this positive method, I eagerly answered all the questions I could, never worrying much about making mistakes.I was at the top of my class for two years.When I went to senior middle school, I was eager to continue studying English; however, my experience in senior middle school was very different from before.While my ormer teacher had been patient with all of the students, my new teacher quickly punished those who gave incorrect answers.Whenever we answered incorrectly, she pointed a long stick at us and, shaking it up and down, shouted, "No! No! No!"It didn't take me long to lose my eagerness to answer questions.Not only did I lose my joy in answering questions, but I also lost my desire to say anything at all in English.However, that state didn't last long.When I went to college, I learned that all students were required to take an English course. Unlikemy senior middle school teacher, my college English teachers were patient and kind, and none of them carried long, pointed sticks!The situation was far from perfect, though.As our classes were very large, I was only able to answer a couple of questions in each class period.Also, after a few weeks of classes, I noticed there were many students who spoke much better than I did.I began to feel intimidated.So, once again, although for different reasons, I was afraid to speak.It seemed my English was going to stay at the same level forever.That was the situation until a couple of years later when I was offered an opportunityto study English through an onlinecourse.The communication medium was a computer, a phone line, and a modem.I soon got accessto the necessary equipment, learned how to use the technology from a friend and participated in the virtual classroom to days a week.Online learning is not easier than regular classroom study;it requires a lot of time, commitment and discipline to keep up with the flow of the course.I worked hard to meet the minimum standards set by the course and to complete assignments on time.I practiced all the time.I carried a little dictionary with me everywhere I went, as well as a notebook in which I listed any new words I heard.I made many, sometimesembarrassing, mistakes.Once in a while I cried out of frustration, and sometimes I felt like giving up.But I didn't feel intimidated by students who spoke faster than I did because I took all the time I needed to think out my ideas and wrote a reply before posting it on the screen.Then, one day I realized I could understand just about everything I came across, and most importantly, I could "say" anything I wanted to in English.Although I was still making many mistakes and was continually learning new ways to say things, I had finally reaped the benefits of all of my hard work.Learning a foreign language has been a most trying experience for me, but one that I wouldn't trade for anything.Not only did learning another language teach me the value of hard work, but it also gave me insights into another culture, and my mind was opened to new ways of seeing things.The most wonderful result of having learned a foreign language was that I could communicate with many more people than before.Talking with people is one of my favoriteactivities, so being able to speak a new language lets me meet new people, participate in conversations, and form new, unforgettable friendships.Now that I speak a foreign language, instead of staring into space when English is being spoken, I can participate and make friends.I am able to reach out to others and bridge the gap between my language and culture and theirs.1b:Keys to successful online leaeningWhile regular schools still exist, the virtual classroom plays an important role in today's learning community.Job opportunities for students are expanding rapidly and more people of all ages are becoming aware of online learning that allows them to study at home.Online students, however, require unique qualities to be successful.The following list discusses some ideal qualities of successful online students.. Be open-minded about sharing life, work, and learning experiences as part of online learning.Many people find that the online method requires them to use their experiences and that online learning offers them a place to communicate with each other.This forum for communication removes the visual barriers that hinder some students from expressing themselves.In addition, students are given time to reflect on the information before replying.In this way, students can help to keep the online environment open and friendly.. Be able to communicate through writing.In the virtual classroom nearly all communication is written, so it is critical that students feel comfortable expressing themselves in writing.Some students have limited writing abilities, which need to be improved before or as part of the online experience.This usually requires extra commitment by these students.Whether working alone or in a group, students share ideas, perspectives and discussions on the subject being studied, and read about those of their classmates.In this way, students gain great insights from their peers, learning from each other as well as the instructor.. Be willing to "speak up" if problems arise.Remember that instructors cannot see their students in an online course.This means students must be absolutely explicit with their comments and requests.If they experience technical difficulties, or problems in understanding something about the course, they MUST speak up; otherwise there is no way anyone can know something is wrong.If one person does not understand something, possibly several others have the same problem.If another student is able to help, he or she probably will.While explaining something to others, students reinforce their own knowledge about the subject.. Take the program seriously.Online learning is not easier than study in regular classrooms.In fact, many students say it requires much more time and effort.Requirements for online courses are no less than those of any other quality program. Successful online students, however, see online learning as a convenient way to receive their education—not an easier way.Many online students sit at computers for hours at a time during evenings and on weekends in order to complete their assignments.When other people are finished with their work and studies and having fun, you'll most likelyfind online students doing their course work.Online students need to commit to hours a week to each course.. Accept critical thinking and decision making as part of online learning.Online courses require students to make decisions based on facts as well as experience.It is absolutely necessary for students to assimilate information and make the right decisions based on critical thinking.In a positive online environment, students feel valued by the instructor and by their classmates and feel good about their own work.. Be able to think ideas through before replying.Providing meaningful and quality input into the virtual classroom is an essential part of online learning.Time is given to allow for careful development of answers.Testing and challenging of ideas is encouraged.Online students will not always be right, so they need to be prepared to accept a challenge.. Keep up with the progress of the course.Online learning is normally sequential and requires commitment on the students' part.Keeping up with the class and completing all the work on time is vital.Once students get behind, it is almost impossible to catch up.Students need to want to be there and need to want the experience.The instructor may have to communicate with students personally to offer help and remind them of the need to keep up.Just as many excellent instructors may not be effective online facilitators, not all students have the necessary qualities to perform well online.People who have the qualities discussed above usually make very successful online students.If you have these qualities, learning online may be one of the best discoveries you will ever make.2a：Deep concernThe radio clickedon. Rock music blasted forth.Like a shot, the music woke Sandy.She looked at the clock; it was : A.M.Sandy sang along with the words as she lay listening to her favorite radio station."Sandy," shouted her father. "Sandy, turn that music off!"Steve Finch burst into her room."Why do you have to listen to such horrible stuff?It's the same thing over and over.I'm not sure it is really music, though it does have rhythm.""I like that music, Dad; it's my favorite.Listen for a minute; I'm sure you'll like it."Sandy reached for the radio to turn it up louder."No, no, don't do that. I can't stand it.Turn that radio down so your mother and I can't hear it.I'm sure that music is hurting your ears as well as your brain."Sandy walked into the bathroom and turned on the shower.Then shegrabbed the soap and washed thoroughly, including her hair.After her shower, Sandy brushed her hair, put on her old, green T-shirt and some jeans.Then she put on her makeup and went to the kitchen.As usual, she didn't know what to have for breakfast, so she grabbed a glass of milk and ate a piece of toast while standing by the sink.Just then, her mother, Jane, entered the kitchen."Sandy, why don't you sit down and eat your breakfast? It isn't healthy to eat standing up.""I know, Mom, but I don't have time to sit down and eat.""Did you finish your homework, dear?""Yes.""Did you brush your teeth?""Mom, I haven't finished eating breakfast yet. pI'll brush my teeth when I'm done.""Sandy, why are you wearing that old T-shirt? pIt's disgusting.""Mom, please stop.""Stop what, dear?""Stop bugging me.""Sandy, are you wearing eyeliner?""Yes, Mom, I've been wearing eyeliner for months. Isn't it pretty? ""Sandy Finch, you're too young to wear that much makeup.""Mom, I'm fifteen. I'm old enough to wear makeup.Believe me, all the girls at school wear makeup. Some have tattoos and pierced ears, and noses and tongues, too.Mom, I don't have time to talk about this now—I'm late. I've got to go. See you later."Sandy kissed her mother quickly on the cheek, picked up her books, pand bolted out of the house.After Sandy had left for school, Jane Finch sat down in peace and quiet to drink her coffee.Soon her husband joined her."Would you like some coffee, Steve?" asked Jane."No, thanks, honey. My stomach feels upset—like it's full of knots.It's probably that awful music that wakes me up every morning.I don't think I'm old-fashioned, but hearing those tuneless, offensive lyrics repeatedly makes my blood boil.""You know, honey, ifferent music appeals to different generations," reasoned Jane. "Remember some of the music we listened to?"Steve smiled. "You're right. Maybe eating breakfast will help me get of some of the knots in my stomach.""Did you notice how much makeup our fifteen-year-old daughter was wearing this morning?I can't believe I didn't notice.I suppose we should feel lucky because makeup is our biggest problem with her.I've seen other teenagers walking around town with tattoos and piercings all over their bodies.""What worries me," said Steve, "is that music could have a negative influence on Sandy.I don't know what's happening to our little girl.She's changing and I'm concerned about her.Makeup, terrible music—who knows what will be next?We need to have a talk with her.The news is full of stories about teenagers in trouble whose parents hardly know anything about their problems.""Oh, I don't think her music is so terrible.But in any case, you're right. We need to have a talk with Sandy," said Jane.As Jane Finch drove to work, she thought about her Sandy.She knew what she wanted to say, what she had to say to Sandy.She was so glad that she and Sandy could still talk things over.She knew she had to have patience and keep the lines of communication with her daughter open.She wanted to be there as an anchor for her, but at the same time she would give her freedom to find her own identity .2b:Is there a generation gapThe term "generation gap" was coined in the s.One conceptof the generation gap is that parents and children have different values and beliefs.As a result, many parents fear that peer opinions will become more highly valued and that they in turn will lose influence.Although the term continues to be used often, some people are beginning to ask the question, "Is there a generation gap in today's society?"One study compared four generations, aged -, -, -, and and over.Several questions were asked to tap into basic beliefs and values, such as "Hard work is the key to getting ahead" and "America is the very best place in the world to live in".Across the generations, there was great consistency in the responses.Many studies on youth also refute the concept of a generation gap.These studies show that while young people tend to value their peers' evaluations over parents'on things like music, clothing and what's "cool", they continue to look to parents for basic values and guidance in the more important areas of life, such as career and lifetime goals.Of course, general trends can't always be applied to individual cases.It is natural to feel like there is an uncomfortable "gap" between our teens and us and that there is a need to bridge it.Perhaps, though, the problem does not lie in a difference of opinions or values, but in the way we relate to and communicate with each other.Here are some tips from an article entitled "Bridging the Generation Gap" that might help.Show respect.An attitude of respect and trust can be contagious.Young people tend to see themselves the way their parents see them.In turn, they gain self-confidence and respect for themselves when you show that you respect their ability to make decisions and learn from their mistakes.Listen more than you talk.Questioning can sound like interrogation.Instead, adopt an attitude of curiosity rather than control.Ask questions like "How so?" "What do you think now?" "Were you surprised?" "What will you do now?" "What's your plan?" "Is this something you want help with?"If your object is only to listen, you should be careful not to be preparing your response while your teen is still talking.You'll hear better that way, and they will be encouraged to talk more.Ask whether your child wants to hear it before sharing your point of view.Only go on if they say "yes". Then be brief.Don't lecture, and don't expect them to agree with you.If you state your case with a "This is what makes sense to me" attitude as opposed to "This is the right way to see things", he or she can listen more openly instead of planning rebellion.Think "we" instead of "you"."We have chores to do before we leave the house; how can we take care of what needs to be done?"Any way you can get across the message "We're in this together" can help bridge gaps that conflicts might otherwise create.Keep calm.You can easily destroy your credibility by getting angry or too excited during a conversation. Instead of "You're ruining your life!", say "I'm concerned about what might happen if..." "What do you think you might do in a situation like that?"Don't apply double standards.Teenagers pay close attention to double standards.Don't expect them to follow rules you don't follow yourself.Whether it's about checking in by the phone, putting things away or drinking out of the milk carton, "Do as I say and not as I do" will not improve the relationship.Admit your own mistakes and talk about what you are learning from them.Showing self-acceptance and tolerance for imperfection is very encouraging to teenagers (as well as other people around you) and tends to make you easier to approach with questions, regrets and challenges.Apologize when you think you had done or said something differently, like losing your cool or saying something hurtful during an argument.Enjoy them.The humor, energy and sense of possibility teenagers often have can awaken parents to positive sides of themselves they had forgotten or neglected.When teens experience being liked, they usually act more likeable.3a:A good heart to learn onWhen I was growing up, I was embarrassed to be seen with my father.He was severely crippled and very short, and when we walked together, his hand on my arm for balance, people would stare.I would inwardly struggle at the unwanted attention.If he ever noticed or was bothered, he never let on.It was difficult to coordinate our steps—his halting, mine impatient—and because of that, we didn't say much as we went along.But as we started out, he always said, "You set the pace. I will try to adjust to you."Our usual walk was to or from the subway on which he traveled to work.He went to work sick, and despite nasty weather.He almost never missed a day, and would make it to the office even if others could not.It was a matter of pride.When snow or ice was on the ground, it was impossible for him to walk, even with help.At such times my sisters or I would pull him through the streets of Brooklyn, N.Y., on a child's wagon with steel runners to the subway entrance.Once there, he would cling to the handrail until he reached the lower steps that the warmer tunnel air kept free of ice.In Manhattan the subway station was in the basement of his office building, and he would not have to go outside again until we met him in Brooklyn on his way home.When I think of it now, I am amazed at how much courage it must have taken for a grown man to subject himself to such shame and stress. And at how he did it—without bitterness or complaint.He never talked about himself as an object of pity, nor did he show any envy of the more fortunate or able.What he looked for in others was a "good heart", and if he found one, the owner was good enough for him.Now that I am older, I believe that is a proper standard by which to judge people, even though I still don't know precisely what a "good heart" is.But I know at times I don't have one myself.Unable to engage in many activities, my father still tried to participate in some way.When a local baseball team found itself without a manager, he kept it going.He was a knowledgeable baseball fan and often took me to Ebbets Field to see the Brooklyn Dodgers play.He liked to go to dances and parties, where he could have a good time just sitting and watching.On one occasion a fight broke out at a beach party, with everyone punching and shoving.He wasn't content to sit and watch, but he couldn't stand unaided on the soft sand.In frustration he began to shout, "I'll fight anyone who will sit down with me! I'll fight anyone who will sit down with me!"Nobody did.But the next day people kidded him by saying it was the first time any fighter was urged to take a dive before the fight began.I now know he participated in some things through me, his only son.When I played ball (poorly), he "played" too. When I joined the Navy, he "joined" too.And when I came home on leave, he saw to it that I visited his office.Introducing me, he was really saying, "This is my son, but it is also me, and I could have done this, too, if things had been different." Those words were never said aloud.He has been gone many years now, but I think of him often.I wonder if he sensed my reluctance to be seen with him during our walks.If he did, I am sorry I never told him how sorry I was, how unworthy I was, how I regretted it.I think of him when I complain about trifles, when I am envious of another's good fortune, when Idon't have a "good heart".At such times I put my hand on his arm to regain my balance, and say, "You set the pace. I will try to adjust to you."3b:The right son the right timeThe story began on a downtown Brooklyn street corner.An elderly man had collapsed while crossing the street, and an ambulance rushed him to Kings County Hospital.There, when he came to now and again, the man repeatedly called for his son.From a worn letter located in his pocket, an emergency room nurse learned that his son was a marine stationed in North Carolina.Apparently there were no other relatives.Someone at the hospital called the Red Cross office in Brooklyn, and a request for the boy to rush to Brooklyn was sent to the Red Cross director of the North Carolina Marine Corps camp. Because time was short—the patient was dying—the Red Cross man and an officer set out in an army vehicle.They found the young man walking through some marshes in a military exercise.He was rushed to the airport in time to catch the sole plane that might enable him to reach his dying father.It was dusk when the young marine walked into the entrance lobby of Kings County Hospital.A nurse took the tired, anxious serviceman to the bedside."Your son is here," she said to the old man.She had to repeat the words several times before the patient's eyes opened.The medicine he had been given for the pain from his heart attack made his eyes weak and he could only see the shadow of the young man in Marine Corps uniform standing outside the oxygen tent.He extended his hand. The marine wrapped his strong fingers around the old man's limp ones, squeezing a message of love and encouragement.The nurse brought a chair, so the marine could sit by the bed.Nights are long in hospitals, but all through the night the young marine sat there in the dimly lit ward, holding the old man's hand and offering words of hope and strength.Occasionally, the nurse urged the marine to rest for a while. He refused.Whenever the nurse came into the ward, the marine was there, but he paid no attention to her and the night noises of the hospital—the banging of an oxygen tank, the laughter of the night staff exchanging greetings, the cries and moans and breathing of other patients.Now and then she heard him say a few gentle words.The dying man said nothing, only held tightly to his son through most of the night.It was nearly dawn when the patient died.The marine placed the lifeless hand he had been holding on the bed, and went to inform the nurse. While she did what she had to do, he smoked a cigarette, his first since he got to the hospital.Finally, she returned to the nurse's station, where he was waiting.She started to offer words of sympathy, but the marine interrupted her."Who was that man?" he asked."He was your father," she answered, startled."No, he wasn't," the marine replied. "I never saw him before in my life.""Why didn't you say something when I took you to him?" the nurse asked."I knew immediately there'd been a mistake, but I also knew he needed his son, and his son just wasn't here.When I realized he was too sick to tell whether or not I was his son, I guessed he really needed me.So I stayed."With that, the marine turned and exited the hospital.Two days later a message came in from the North Carolina Marine Corps base informing the Brooklyn Red Cross that the real son was on his way to Brooklyn for his father's funeral.It turned out there had been two marines with the same name and similar numbers in the camp. Someone in the personnel office had pulled out the wrong record.But the wrong marine had become the right son at the right time.And he proved, in a very human way, that there are people who care what happens to their fellow men.4a:How to make a good impressionResearch shows we make up our minds about people through unspoken communication within seven seconds of meeting them.Consciously or unconsciously, we show our true feelings with our eyes, faces, bodies and attitudes, causing a chain of reactions, ranging from comfort to fear.Think about some of your most unforgettable meetings: an introduction to your future spouse, a job interview, an encounter with a stranger.Focus on the first seven seconds. What did you feel and think?How did you "read" the other person?How do you think he read you?You are the message.For years I've worked with thousands who want to be successful.I've helped them make persuasive presentations, answer unfriendly questions, communicate more effectively.The secret has always been you are the message.Others will want to be with you and help you if you use your good qualities.They include: physical appearance, energy, rate of speech, pitch and tone of voice, gestures, expression through the eyes, and the ability to hold the interest of others.Others form an impression about you based on these.Think of times when you know you made a good impression.What made you successful?You were committed to what you were talking about and so absorbed in the moment you lost all self-consciousness.Be yourself.Many how-to books advise you to stride into a room and impress others with your qualities.They instruct you to greet them with "power handshakes" and tell you to fix your eyes on the other person.If you follow all this advice, you'll drive everyone crazy—including yourself.The trick is to be consistently you, at your best.The most effective people never change from one situation to another.They're the same whether they're having a conversation, addressing their garden club or being interviewed for a job.They communicate with their whole being; the tones of their voices and their gestures match their words.Public speakers, however, often send mixed messages.My favorite is the kind who say, "Ladies and gentlemen, I'm very happy to be here"—while looking at their shoes.They don't look happy.They look angry, frightened or depressed.The audience always believe what they see over what they hear.They think, "He's telling me he's happy, but he's not.He's not being honest."Use your eyes.Whether you're talking to one person or one hundred, always remember to look at them.Some people start to say something while looking right at you, but three words into the sentence, they break eye contact and look out the window.。

He has to learn from a man to complete his development.The father's job is to step in over time. If there is no father around, then the child depends more on finding other men --- at school, for example. Yet men are leaving teaching, especiallyin primary schools. This is a problem.They insisted, too, that they needed lots of extra support. Throughout primary school years and into high school, boys should spend a lot of time with their fathers and mothers, getting their help, learning how to do things and enjoying their company.With regard to feelings, at this stage the father is more important. The boy is ready to learn from his father and listens to what he has to say. Often he will take more notice of his father. It's enough to drive a mother wild!Now is a good time for a father to do "little" things: playing in the yard on summer evenings, going for walks, telling stories about life, telling him about his own youth, working on hobbies or sports together for the enjoyment of doing it. This is the time when good memories are laid down that will be healthy to your son, and you, for years to come.Although every boy is different, it's common for boys at this age to get a little argumentative (好争论的), restless and moody（闹情绪）. It's not that they are turning bad -- just that they are being born into a new self and birth always means struggle.I believe this is the age when we fail teenagers the most. In our society all we offer those in the middle teens is "more of the same": more school. So it's little wonder that problems arise.11. According to the passage a boy needs the help of _________ to develop well.A) his mother only B) his father onlyC) neither his mother nor his father D) both his mother and father12. One problem for a boy's development is that ________.A) there are fewer men teaching in primary schoolsB) there are fewer women teaching in primary schoolsC) the boy's interests are changingD) the boy wants to act as a man13. The good time for a father to have an influence on his son is ________.A) when the boy is 14 B) when the boy is at primary schoolC) from about age 6 to the 14th birthday D) since the boy was born14. By the middle teens boys argue often with their parents. This means ________.A) they are turning badB) they are turning goodC) they are being born into a new selfD) they are rebelling against their parents15. The main idea of this passage is that ________.A) fathers play an equal role in raising boysB) mothers should feel comfortable when their sons' interests are changing.C) without fathers mothers can raise good menD) fathers should stay with their sons as much as possiblePassage BYukio is a twenty-four year old Japanese businessman. A few months ago, his companysent him to work at its New York City office for half a year. This was his first experience living in the United States.Yukio thought New York City was very exciting, but he also found it very strange. It was difficult for him to get used to it. He found it strange to be with people from so many different races. He sometimes found American people very direct, open and honest though at the same he felt curious about them. He wished he could become friends with some Americans, but he wasn't sure how to get along with them. Most of the time, he felt very lonely and missed Japan.But soon some sunshine came into his life. A new clerk came to work in his office part-time. She was American, as were most of the clerks in his office. Her name was Cindy. She was very clever, friendly and good-looking. Cindy was also a student studying business. Cindy and Yukio got along very well. They talked together whenever possible. Cindy told Yukio her dreams of having a successful business. She said she was not really interested in getting married or having children. She wanted to use all of her energy for business. Yukio found Cindy very interesting and very different from the women he knew before. In a similar way, Cindy found Yukio unique among all the men that she knew. Soon the two fell in love and they were both very happy.But now it is almost time for Yukio to return to Japan. Yukio wants Cindy to return to Japan with him and marry him. But Cindy doesn't speak any Japanese. She fears that Yukio wants her to become an ordinary wife and have children right away. Cindy wants Yukio to stay in New York City.They feel very bad, not knowing what they should do. Should they stay in New York? Should they go to Japan? Sometimes they think they should separate, but they also feel they cannot live without each other.16.

With it are eight other planets (行星), fellow members of the sun's family.Two of them are nearer while the other six are farther from the sun than the earth is. The farther they are, the longer trips they make around the sun. People noticed long ago that these traveling bodies moved around in the sky in fixed paths. It is a force called gravity (重力) that holds them in their paths.We know that every little bit of matter in the universe (宇宙) pulls upon every other bit of matter. Because the sun is so large, the pulls between the sun and the planets are thus great. If it were not for these pulls, the planets would fly off into space. In the same way there exists a pull between the earth and the moon, which keeps the moon traveling in its orbit (轨道) around our planet, the earth. Gravity holds you to the earth’s surface, and pulls back to it the ball which you throw into the air. Of course, the ball also pulls on the larger earth but the earth is so much larger that the pull is not noticed.Now remember that large bodies bring to bear a greater pull on any body than smaller ones which contain less material. But each object in the universe, no matter how small, pulls on all other objects to some degree.21. The earth is __________ in the sun family.A) one of the nine fellow members B) bigger than two of the other bodiesC) smaller than the other bodies D) nearer than two fellow members22. These traveling bodies __________.A) make much longer trips when they travel around the sunB) have the same traveling pathsC) move along certain paths around the sunD) have their paths changed a bit23. The gravity of every matter in the universe __________.A) keeps the object traveling B) makes it fly off into spaceC) works D) holds it to the surface24. The pull makes the ball __________.A) you throw into the air fall back to the earthB) go up into the skyC) fly around the bodyD) none of the above25. Which of the following is TRUE?A) The smaller matters fly off into space.B) We do not notice the pull of the moon.C) The moon travels around the earth because it's nearer to the earth than the other fellowmembers in the sun's family.D) The larger the bodies are, the greater their pull is.Part III.

So we decided to try making a few tables and chairs.”John got married six months ago, and like many young people these days, they are struggling to make a home at a time when the cost of living is very high. The Roses took a 2-week course for $280 at a night school. Now they build all their furniture and make repairs around the house.Jim Hatfield has three boys and his wife died. He has a full-time job at home as well as in a shoe making factory. Last month, he received a car repair bill for $420. “I was deeply upset about it. Now I've finished a car repair course, I should be able to fix the car by myself.”John and Jim are not unusual people. Most families in the country are doing everything they can to save money so they can fight the high cost of living. If you want to become a “do-it-yourselfer”, you can go to DIY classes. And for those who don't have time to take a course, there are books that tell you how you can do things yourself. 1. We can learn from the text that many newly married people _____ .A. find it hard to pay for what they needB. have to learn to make their own furnitureC. take DIY courses run by the governmentD. seldom go to a department store to buy things2.

What would be the best title for the text?A. The Joy of DIYB. You Can Do It Too!C. Welcome to Our DIY Course!D. Ross and Hatfield: Believes in DIYPassage 2Today, roller skating is easy and fun. But a long time ago, it wasn't easy at all. Before 1750, the idea of skating didn't exist. That changed because of a man named Joseph Merlin. Merlin's work was making musical instruments. In his spare time he liked to play the violin. Joseph Merlin was a man of ideas and dreams. People called him a dreamer.One day Merlin received an invitation to attend a fancy dress ball(化装舞会). He was very pleased and a little excited. As the day of the party came near, Merlin began to think how to make a grand entrance at the party. He had an idea. He thought he would get a lot of attention if he could skate into the room.Merlin tried different ways to make himself roll. Finally, he decided toput two wheels under each shoe. These were the first roller skates. Merlin was very proud of his invention and dreamed of arriving at the party on wheels while playing the violin.On the night of the party Merlin rolled into the room playing his violin. Everyone was astonished to see him. There was just one problem. Merlin had no way to stop his roller skates. He rolled on and on. Suddenly, he ran into a huge mirror that was hanging on the wall. Down fell the mirror, breaking to pieces. Nobody forget Merlin's grand entrance for a long time!6. The text is mainly about _____.A. a strange manB. an unusual partyC. how roller skating beganD. how people enjoyed themselves in the 18th century7.

What is the main point the writer is trying to make in the last paragraph?A. the roller skates needed further improvement.B. the party guests took Merlin for a fool.C. Merlin succeeds beyond expectation.D. Merlin got himself into trouble.Passage 3To us it seems so natural to put up an umbrella to keep the water off when it rains. But actually the umbrella was not invented as protection against rain. It was first used as a shade against the sun.Nobody knows who first invented it, but the umbrella was used in very ancient times. Probably the first to use it were the Chinese, way back in the eleventh century B.C..We know that the umbrella was also used in ancient Egypt and Babylon as a sunshade. And there was a strange thing connected with its use; it became a symbol of honor and authority. In the Far East, in ancient times, the umbrella was allowed to be used only by royal people or by those in high office.In Europe, the Greeks were the first to use the umbrella as a sunshade. And the umbrella was in common use in ancient Greece. But it is believed that the first persons in Europe to use the umbrellas as protection against the rain were the ancient Romans.During the Middle Ages, the use of the umbrella practically disappeared. Then it appeared again in Italy in 16th century. And again it became a symbol of power and authority.Umbrellas have not changed much in style during all this time, though they have become much lighter in weight. It wasn‟t until the twentieth century that women‟s umbrellas began to be made in a variety of colors.11. The first use of umbrella was as_____.A. protection against rainB. a shade against the sunC. a symbol of powerD. a symbol of honor12._____were regarded as the people who first used umbrellas.A.

Please write your answers on the Answer Sheet.Entering college is like starting a new phase of life where you have to learn to support yourself. You will have to adjust to your new 1 , try to do everything by yourself and learn to stand on your own. As you 2 the ups and downs of student life, you will learn how to 3 problems that arise.College life is very 4 from that in the middle school. It’s the place where teenagers become adults and academia meets 5 . Ideally, your time at college will help you mature physically and mentally, equip you with 6 and prepare you for your professional career.It is a challenging process, and it is not realistic to 7 everything to always work in your favor. You won’t win every prize and you won’t be 8 with all your classmates all the time. Setbacks and challenges – like failure, betrayal and unjust 9 – are just as important for your growth as the good times. Only when you have 10 these things can you know what society and life is like. II. Fast Reading(10 points)Crisis-proof Your MarriageExperts say that most difficult marriage situations can be salvaged as long as both parties are willing. “It takes commitment, but it can and does happen,” note Diane Sollee, director of the Coalition for Marriage, Family and Couples Education in Washington, D.C. Here are the ways:Cool off. When emotions are raw, Lonnie Barbach, co-author of Going the Distance: Finding and Keeping Lifelong Love, recommends therapy. “It’s helpful to have a therapist’s objective point of view because, typically, each person just sees what the other person is doing, not how he or she is contributing to the problem.”Therapy needn’t take a big commitment of money and time. Many churches, synagogues and community mental-health centers offer free counseling or support groups. And many therapists practice something called solution-oriented brief therapy, which focuses on problem solving and can take only a few sessions.Learn to Listen. Let your partner express his or her opinion without interruption, then repeat what was said without expressing an opinion: “Just so I understand, what you are feeling is this…”“People don’t necessarily want you agree them, but at least understand what happened,” says Almas Dell Smith, director of the Behavioral Treatment Center in Bookline, Mass., and author of Stress and Marriage.Admit Mistakes. A wife in Woodstock, III., was never comfortable speaking openly with her husband because she feared how he might react. But her silence made him feel shut out. When her sister’s death caused her to retreat further into herself, he turned to another woman for emotional (not sexual) support.At first the wife blamed him totally for the rift. “I’d cry and say it was all fault. But there was another part of me saying, ‘It takes two.’ By not communication openly, I contributed to the problem,” she admits. The couple went for therapy, where the wife learned it was important to speak her mind, and the husband realized he needed to make her feel comfortable to do so. Their marriage is now much stronger.“In every marital conflict it’s important for people to see their own responsibility in the issue – they don’t make progress until they do,” says John Gottman, author of Why Marriages Succeed or Fail.Give Love a Chance. Today’s busy couples often put their marriage in a less important position,without constant efforts to strengthen it, their marriage may turn into a failure.One dual-income couple in Washington, D.C., realized that the intimacy and sharing they had once treasured had disappeared. Problems cropped up about ten years ago when the husband, a 48-year-old financial analyst, had to work long hours and make frequent business trips, while the wife, 44, was busy with her career as a health and human-services program manager. The husband thought he could deal with their problems by taking a lower-paying job that gave him more time at home. But their marital problems were compounded by outside stresses and a clinical depression that the wife suffered.Fortunately they had spiritual support from a church couples group which helped them use their communication skills. Today the marriage is strong again, but the couple knows now never to be too confident. Even so, the wife says, “we’re constantly looking to decrease the stress in our lives. We want to make sure we don’t get into trouble again.”Give Yourself Time. If there has been a betrayal, such as infidelity, don’t expect the wounds to heal quickly. “Forgiveness doesn’t happen all at on ce,” warns Michele Weiner-Davis, author of Divorce Busting.After his wife discovered he was having an affair, a Reno, Nev., man realized what a mistake he’d made. The hurt was deep, however, and he knew he’d have to work hard to regain his wife’s trust. He made sure he was always where he’d said he would be; he called whenever he was going to be late; be even put aside his shyness and started going dancing with his wife because he knew it meant a lot to her.“It took about a year for the trust to come back,” she admits. Today they’ve been married almost 30 years. “We’re looking forward, not backward.”Questions 11 to 15 are based on Passage 1.11. Experts say that difficult marital situations can be salvaged.A. allB. noneC. fewD. most12. The best therapy is one that is .A. of high priceB. with long sessionsC. with a trust-worthy therapistD free counseling or support groups13. When your partner expresses his or her opinion, you should .A. listen carefully without interruptionB. turn a deaf ear to what he or she saysC. interrupt time and again to express your own opinionD. agree with or her without reservation even though you have some doubts14. The expression “how he or she is contributing to the problem” (in paragraph 2) probably meansA. in which way he or she is saving the problemB. in which way he or she is causing the problemC. in which way he or she is suffering the problemD. in which way he or she is solving the problem15. Which of the following statement can suggest the main idea of the passage?A. All relationships can experience difficult times.B. Today’s couples often put their marriage in a less important.C. How to cope with the crises of the marriage.D. Young people can have their marriage without conflictIII. Reading Comprehension(20 points)Directions: Read the following passages carefully and choose the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C and D.Passage 1The 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 can also 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 from working or attending school with someone who has the disease. You cannot get it from 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.16. The AIDS virus can spread ___________.A. only from a man to womanB. among those who share drug instrumentsC. by shaking hands with someone who has the virusD. by touching an AIDS patient17. 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 disease18. The warning signs of being infected with AIDS do not include ____________.A. weight lossB. uncontrolled expulsion of body wastesC. the appearance of red areas of skinD. a body temperature lower than a normal one19. If a person is worried that he might have AIDS, he should go to _____________.A. a government officeB. a defense systemC. an antibody production centerD. a doctor or health center 20. _________ 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 examinationPassage 2Personal computers and the Internet give people new choices about how to spend their time.Some may use this freedom to share less time with certain friends or family members, but new technology will also let them stay in closer touch with those they care about most. I know this from personal experience.Email (电子邮件) makes it easy to work at home, which is where I now spend most weekends and evenings. My working hours aren't automatically much shorter than they once were, but I spend fewer of them at the office. This lets me share more time with my young daughter than I might have if she'd been born before electronic mail became such a practical tool.The Internet also makes it easy to share thoughts with a group of friends. Say you do something fun —see a great film, perhaps—and there are four or five friends who might want to hear about it. If you call each one, you may tire of telling the story.With email, you just write one note about your experience, at your convenience (方便), and address it to all the friends you think might be interested. They can read your message when they have time, and read only as much as they want. They can reply at their convenience, and you can read what they have to say at your convenience.Email is also an inexpensive way to stay in close touch with people who live far away. More than a few parents use email to keep in touch, even daily touch, with their children off at college.We just have to keep in mind that computers and the Internet offer another way of staying in touch. They don't eliminate (排除) any of the old ways.21. The purpose of this passage is to ________.A. explain how to use the InternetB. describe the writer's joy of keeping up with new technologyC. tell the merits and usefulness of the InternetD. introduce the reader to basic knowledge about personal computers and the Internet22. The use of email has made it possible for the writer to ________.A. spend less time workingB. have more free time with his childC. work at home on weekendsD. work at a speed comfortable to him23. According to the writer, email has a clear advantage over the telephone because email helps one_______.A. reach a group of people at one time convenientlyB. keep one's communication as personal as possibleC. pass on much more information than the telephoneD. get in touch with one's friends faster than the telephone24. The passage discussed all the following elements of email EXCEPT _______.A. its costB. the way of writingC. the saving of timeD. its easy and convenient use25. The best subject for this passage is ________.A. Computers: New Technological AdvancesB. Internet: A New Tool to Make FriendsC. Computers Have Made Life EasierD.

(郑思-小测一)Mr. and Mrs. Jones' flat was full of boxes, big and small; trunks (大皮箱); and furniture. The two of them were busy with pencils and paper, checking their list of luggage (行李) when there was a ring at the door. Mrs. Jones went to open it, and saw a well-dressed middle-aged lady outside. The lady said that she lived in a flat beside theirs, and that she had come to welcome them to their new home.Mrs. Jones invited her in."I hope you'll excuse us for all this mess (杂乱)," said Mrs. Jones, "We are trying...""Oh, that's quite all right," said the lady. "Do you know, in some parts of this town, neighbors are not at all friendly? There are some streets-and even some buildings-where people don't know their neighbors-not even their next-door ones. But in this building, everyone is a friend with everybody else. We are one big, happy family. I'm sure you'll be happy here."The lady was greatly surprised when she visited the same flat the next time, because she found that a different man and a woman had moved in. On the lady's first visit, Mr. and Mrs. Jones had not the heart to tell her they were not the new owners of the flat, but the old owners, who had lived beside her for two years. All this time she had never visited or even noticed Mr. and Mrs. Jones, her next-door neighbors.1. Someone knocked at the door when Mr. and Mrs. Jones were ________.A. cleaning their houseB. counting (数) their luggageC. moving their furnitureD. writing their shopping list2. This writer of this passage suggests that the middle-aged lady ________.A. lives in a big happy familyB. lives aloneC. does not do what she saysD. is a bothersome neighbor3. According to the middle-aged lady, in some parts of the town, people ________.A. had big, happy familiesB. had small, unhappy familiesC. didn't know their neighborsD. didn't like their neighbors4. From the passage, we know ________.A. the middle-aged lady was warm-heartedB. the middle-aged lady had been living in the building for two yearsC. Mr. and Mrs. Jones told the middle-aged lady the truthD. Mr. and Mrs. Jones were the middle-aged lady's old neighbors5. What is the tone (语气) of the writer in the passage?A. Happy.B. Sad.C. Indifferent (不关心的).D. Critical.Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage or dialog.When I was in the 7th grade, I had a lot of trouble reading. My mother used to sit by my side, and explain each paragraph of each school reading assignment to me because I didn't understand what I was reading. She would have to read each paragraph to me. And then after each paragraph, she told me the general meaning of what we just read.In class, I tried to hide the fact that I couldn't read. My teachers gave us the last ten minutes of class to start our reading homework, and I would sit there for ten minutes staring at the page, pretending I was reading it. I remember a terrible feeling of not wanting to get into trouble for not being able to understand. I had to wait until I got home so my mother could explain it to me. How did I ever get into Cornell University?By the 8th grade I started understanding a little on my own, but I was reading at a very slow speed.I got hold of all the speed-reading books I could get my hands on. I read them all very slowly at the time. I even went out and took a course on speed-reading. Then I developed my own way which was easier and produced quicker results. I started practicing these techniques every day, and as I started to read faster, my understanding increased. I found that I stopped daydreaming and thinking about other things while I was reading, and started getting the larger meaning. I was reading faster and comprehending better.I found that when you read slowly, word-by-word, you get lost in the words, lose the bigger picture, and your comprehension drops. When you read faster, your comprehension goes up because instead of getting lost in the words, you see the general picture.6. The main difficulty the writer had in reading in the 7th grade was that ________________________.A. she often forgot her school reading assignmentsB. she had difficulty reading with comprehensionC. she had a poor vocabulary and very bad grammarD. she always looked elsewhere when asked to read7.

The writer's reading ability improved a great deal mainly because _______________________.A. she entered Cornell UniversityB. she took a course on speed readingC. her mother helped herD. she developed her own way of reading9. From her own experience, the writer found that _________________.A. one's comprehension drops if one reads too slowlyB. in order to understand better, one has to read slowlyC. one does not pay enough attention to information if one reads fastD. many people read fast in order to save time10. The writer wrote the passage in order to ___________________.A. prove to readers the importance of higher educationB. tell a story in honor of her motherC. give a detailed description of different reading skillsD. prove the importance of reading fast（郑思-小测二）A boy between the ages of 6 and 14 still admires his mother and has plenty to learn from her.But his interests are changing—he is becoming more interested in what men have to offer. A boy knows he is turning into a man. He has to learn from a man to complete his development.The father's job is to step in over time. If there is no father around, then the child must depend on other men in places such as school. This is happening more frequently and would not be such a problem if there were more male teachers at primary school for boys to look up to.Children need a lot of extra support. Throughout primary school years and into high school, boys should spend a lot of time with their fathers and mothers, getting their help, learning how to do things, and enjoying their company.With regard to feelings, at this stage the father is more important. The boy is ready to learn from his father and listens to what he has to say. Often he will take more notice of his father. It's enough to drive a mother wild!Now is a good time for a father to do "little" things, like playing in the yard on summer evenings, going for walks, telling stories about life, telling him about his own youth, working on hobbies, or playing sports together for enjoyment. This is the time when good memories are created that will be healthy for the son, as well as for the father, for years to come.Although every boy is different, it's common for boys at this age to get a little argumentative (好争论的), restless, and moody (闹情绪). It's not that they are turning bad—just that they are being born into a new self and birth always means struggle.I believe this is the age when we fail teenagers the most. In our society all we offer those in their middle teens is "more of the same", that being more school. So it's little wonder that problems arise. But if parents, and fathers in particular, pay close attention to their sons, fewer problems will arise.1. According to the passage a boy needs the help of _________ to develop well.A. his mother onlyB. his father onlyC. neither his mother nor his fatherD. both his mother and father2. One problem for a boy's development is that ________.A. there are few men teaching in primary schoolsB. there are few women teaching in primary schoolsC. the boy's interests are changingD. the boy wants to act as a man3. A good time for a father to have an influence on his son is ________.A. when the boy is 14B. when the boy is at primary schoolC. from about age 6 to the 14th birthdayD. from when the boy was born4. By the middle teens boys argue often with their parents. This means ________.A. they are turning badB. they are turning goodC. they are being born into new selvesD. they are rebelling against their parents5. The main idea of this passage is that ________.A. fathers play a large role in raising boysB. mothers should feel comfortable when their sons' interests are changing.C. without fathers mothers can raise good menD. fathers should stay with their sons as much as possibleQuestions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage or dialog.The years from 14 until the early 20s are for becoming an adult and for separating from parents.This is the time when a son develops a life that is quite separate from the family.He has teachers you hardly know, experiences you have never heard about, and challenges that you cannot help him with. There have to be others to act as a bridge, and this is what mentors (良师益友) do.We should not leave youngsters in a group of friends at this age without adult care. But a mentor is more than a teacher. A mentor is special to the child and the child is special to the mentor.Teenagers suffer badly if their parents have fewer friends. I know this from experience. When my parents moved to Australia, they were already shy people and became even less willing to meet people once we were there. They never found a group or friendship circle into which we teenagers could enter bit by bit. As a result, when my sister and I hit the middle of the teen years, we had to break out into the big world all of a sudden.If there are no mentors around, a young man will fall into a lot of troubles in growing up. Teenagers at this age have so many either—or choices and decisions—about sex, job choices, or drugs and alcohol.If Mom and Dad keep spending time with them, teenagers will talk to them about these things. But there will be a need to talk to other adults, too.One study showed that just one good adult friend outside the family was a "good anchor" for the teenager.The worst thing we can do with teenagers is to leave them alone. This is why we need the help of really great teachers and youth workers at this age.6. A boy separates himself from his family ________.A. by the middle of the teensB. at 20C. after 20D. from 14 until the early 20s7. The one who is to act as a good bridge for a fifteen year old is ________.A. a mentorB. a schoolteacherC. the fatherD. the mother8. The author and his sister had a hard time stepping into the outside world because ________.A. their parents had lots of friendsB. their parents had few friendsC. their parents did not allow them to choose their mentors by themselvesD. their parents went to live in Australia without them9. In the last sentence of Paragraph 4 the phrase "break out into" means ________.A. disturbB. destroyC. enterD. open10. Which of the following sentences is True according to the passage?A. Parents should let teenagers choose their mentors themselves.B. Those in the middle teens are fully ready for the outside world.C. Spending time with teenagers may keep them away from bad things such as drugs and alcohol.D. Teenagers suffer only when they have no mentors.Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage or dialog.College is a new and different experience for me. I'm away from home, so I have many things to adjust to, such as being on my own and meeting many different types of people. There are a lot of things that I like about college that I would like to describe for you.First of all, living at college gives me a sense of responsibility and of being on my own. My parents aren't around to say, "No, you're not going out tonight," or "Did you finish your homework?" Everything I do has to be my decision, and that makes me responsible for my own life. During the second week I was at college, I had to go out and look for a bank where I could open an account. And when I got to the bank, I had to decide whether to have a checking or savings account and whether or not to get a credit card. Decisions! Decisions!Friendly people is another thing I like about college. On the first day I came to Marymount University here in Virginia from New York, I was a bit confused about where I was going. My mother and I drove in. We did not know the building we were supposed to go to, but the guard was very nice. With a smile, he told us what building we were looking for and where we could park our car. My room was on the first floor of New Gerard, and I knew I had to go through some glass doors, but my mother and I didn't know which ones. Some students saw me and asked, "Are you a new student?" When they found out I was looking for New Gerard, one said, "Oh, just follow us; that's where we're going." Even now I feel comfortable in the dorm (学生宿舍) because there are friendly people around to talk with.I do like a lot of things about college, but that doesn't mean I don't think about things at home. Although I like college, I can still get homesick. New York is a very good place, too! And sometimes I miss it!11. The text is perhaps written by ________.A. a new studentB. a new teacherC. a foreign reporterD. a foreign visitor12. What does "gives me a sense of responsibility" in the first sentence of Paragraph 2 mean? It means it makes me feel ________.A. responsible for my parents.B. responsible for my teacher.C. responsible for the school.D. responsible for myself.13. One thing that he liked was ________.A. the comfortable dormB. finding his way aroundC. his studies as a first year studentD. the friendly people14. What is New Gerard?A. It's a student's name.B. It's a teacher's name.C. It's a dorm's name.D. It's a school's name.15. Which of the following is NOT true?A. People in Marymount University are friendly.B. The writer likes the new experience in the university.C. The writer drove to Marymount University with his mother.D. The writer is not homesick.（郑思-小测三）Once upon a time there was a wise man that used to go to the ocean to do his writing. He had a habit of walking on the beach before he began his work.One day he was walking along the shore. As he looked down the beach, he saw a human figure moving like a dancer. He smiled to himself at the thought of someone who would dance on the beach. So he began to walk faster to catch up.As he got closer, he saw that it was a young man and the young man wasn't dancing, but instead he was reaching down to the shore, picking up something and very gently throwing it into the ocean.As he got closer he called out, "Good morning! What are you doing?"The young man paused, looking up and replied, "Throwing starfish (海星) in the ocean.""Well then, why are you throwing starfish into the ocean?""The sun is up and the tide is going out. And if I don't throw them in they'll die.""But, young man, don't you realize that there are miles and miles of beach and starfish all along it. You can't possibly make a difference!"The young man listened politely. Then he bent down, picked another starfish and threw it into the ocean, past the breaking waves and said, "It made a difference for that one."There is something very special in each and every one of us. All of us have a natural ability to make a difference. If we can become aware of that ability, we will have the power to shape the future.All of us must find our starfish. If we throw our starfish wisely and well, the world will be wonderful.1. Before he began writing, the wise man would ________.A. take a walk along the shoreB. go swimming in the oceanC. have a walk and pick up starfish on the beachD. look down the beach and enjoy the scene2. One day, the wise man saw a young man ________.A. dancing along the beachB. walking along the beachC. picking up starfish for saleD. trying to save as many starfish as possible3. Near the end of the passage, "something very special" refers to ________.A. the ability to make decisionsB. natural abilitiesC. starfish that the young man threw back to the oceanD. our ability to have an effect on the future4. Which of the following statements is True according to the passage?A. The wise man and the young man shared the same opinion on the subject of starfish.B. The young man disagreed with the wise man on the subject of starfish.C. The wise man thought it impossible to save any of the starfish on the beach.D. The young man was unaware of his ability to make a difference for starfish.5. The writer told this story in order to tell us that ________.A. every one of us is cleverB. all of us can help to shape our futureC. wise men are sometimes stupidD. young people are actually wiser than old peopleQuestions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage or dialog.For years, it's been assumed that the inside environment 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.6. 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 trees7. 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.8. It is implied or suggested in the passage that ________.A. there are more plants today than ever beforeB. 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 practical9. One function of modern windows is ________.A. to allow fresh air inB. to grow plants and trees insideC. to provide heat and lightD. to control the temperature10. It is not likely that large plants will move inside because ________.A. the weather is not suitableB. they cannot be movedC. they cannot be controlledD. there is not enough spaceQuestions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage or dialog.These days we are so accustomed to instant communication, it is hard to imagine the excitement that was created in the nineteenth century when cables, which were used to transmit telegraph messages, were laid.Cable laying proved to be immensely difficult. The cable that carried the first telegraph messages between England and France in the autumn of 1850 had a very short life. The day after, a fisherman "caught" the cable by mistake. Thinking that the copper wire at the center of the thick cable was gold, he cut a piece off to show his friends. However, a new cable was laid, and soon news could travel quickly across Europe. But there was still no way of sending messages between Europe and America.When the Atlantic Telegraph Company was formed in 1856, a serious attempt was made to "join" Europe to America with no less than 2300 miles of cable. As no single ship could carry such a weight, two sailing vessels, the Agamemnon and the Niagara, shared the job. The intention was that after setting out in opposite directions, they should meet in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean where the two cables would be connected together. But the ships had hardly covered 300 miles when the cable broke. In 1858, a second attempt was made. This time, though greatly hindered by storms, the ships were successful. There was great rejoicing a few months later, when after the combined efforts of both ships, Britain and America were at last connected by cable and the Queen of England was able to speak to the President of the United States. This cable, however, only lasted eleven weeks. Further attempts were postponed until 1864 when Brunei's steamship, the Great Eastern, set forth. This powerful ship did the whole job by itself, but again messages could not travel freely because the cable developed a fault. While it was being mended, it broke, leaving 1300 miles of worthless cable lying on the ocean floor.But two years later the Great Eastern completed a highly successful journey laying cable, and since then it has become possible to send messages to all parts of the world.11. When were the first cables in the world laid?A. In the nineteenth century.B. In the early twentieth century.C. In the eighteenth century.D. In the 1940s.12. What happened to the first cable between England and France?A. It didn't work at all because there was something wrong with its quality.B. A fisherman mistook it for a long fish.C. It was broken by the violent waves in the English Channel.D. Someone cut it.13. Why were two sailing vessels, the Agamemnon and the Niagara, used to lay the cable?A. Because one ship couldn't cover 2300 miles.B. Because it was difficult to find a cable of 2300 miles.C. Because one ship couldn't carry the weight of the cable.D. Because the cable of 2300 miles was more likely to break.14. The Queen of England wasn't able to speak to the President of the United States until ______.A. 1850B. 1856C. 1858D. 186415. When were people able to send messages all around the world?A. 1866.B. 1864.C. 1850.D. 1856.。

Recorded background music first found its way into factories, shops and restaurants in the USA. Very soon it spread to other parts of the world. Now it is becoming difficult to go shopping or eat a meal without listening to music.To begin with, background music was intended simply to create a soothing atmosphere. Recently, however, it’s becoming a big business. An American marketing expert has shown that music can boost sales or increase factory production by as much as a third.But it has to be the light music. Lively music has no effect at all on sales. Slow music can increase receipt by 34%. This is probably because shoppers slow down and have more opportunity to spot items they would like to buy. Yet, slow music isn’t always the answer. The expert found that in restaurant slow music meant customers took longer to eat their meals, which reduced overall sales. So restaurant owners might be well advised to play faster music to keep the customers moving –unless, of course, the resulting indigestion leads to complaints.Dictation 2Celine Dion is the youngest of 14 children in a working-class family in Quebec, Canada. Her parents, who both loved music, encouraged her to develop her musical talent. At 12, Celine had composed the song "It Was Only a Dream". Her mother and brother helped her to make a recording of that song and sent it off to an address they found on an album of a popular French singer. The address was that of Rene Angelil, who became her first conquest, but there would be millions more.Celine's rise from a teenage singer to a pop superstar has been steady, but not without difficulties Record companies were at first less enthusiastic about investing in a teenager than Angelil, who mortgaged his own home to pay for her first album.

PartⅡReading Comprehension (30 points)Directions:There are 3 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.Many people, particularly recent college graduates, dream of owning their own businesses. Although such ventures are often exciting and profitable, the new entrepreneur should thoroughly investigate and plan the situation before plunging in. the first step should be to assemble a board of advisers, including a lawyer, an accountant, and an insurance representative. These individuals can provide valuable information and counsel. Securing the necessary licenses and permits is also a precondition and may require research to determine what is necessary.Most successful small-business owners have considerable experience in the field working for others before they become independent. They also begin with substantial financial backing and a good location. Renting space may be preferable or necessary at the start, but the lease on the building must be examined carefully before it is signed. The new owner should be thoroughly familiar with the market and the competition. A person who wants to buy an existing business can often learn the history of the company and its prospects from the owner’s records. Once thebusiness gets started, accurate and complete records should be kept to monitor the company’s progress and profits.Financing may be the most difficult step for small-business owners. They may rely on their own savings or borrow money from a bank or the Small Business Administration. Some suppliers will sell merchandise on credit, and manufacturers may be willing to finance the purchase of equipment. If the new business is a corporation, the owner may choose to sell stock.Once the new business is started, the Small Business Administration is a good source of advice. Several of its programs are designed to help new owners with the advice and expertise of retired executives. A nearby university or trade association may also help owners locate local sources of help.New business owners often report that they work long, hard hours but find the experience extremely satisfying. The realization that their efforts will produce actual results in the form of profit, success, and pride can be quite motivating. Those who have worked for others enjoy the opportunity to make decisions and follow projects through to completion. Many report that hard work has never been so enjoyable before. Careful research, investigation, and planning at the outset do not guarantee success, but they provide a good foundation for the new small business and its owner.21.The main idea of the passage is about _________.A)the history of the small businessB)tips on how to start your own businessC)how a small business worksD)the best way to build up a profitable business22.Which of the following advisers is most necessary before you begin?A) A retired executive.B) A bank officer.C) A professor of economics.D) A lawyer.23.The article indicates that most successful small-business owners are _______.A)recent college graduatesB)new entrepreneursC)financially secureD)experienced in the field24.One advantage of buying an existing business over starting a new one is that ______.A)it has records readily availableB)it minimizes the competitionC)it is cheaperD)it already has many customers25.New business owners may avoid potential problems by ______.A)hard workB)selling stockC)careful planningD)buying on creditQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.Britain almost more than any other country in the world must seriously face the problem of building upwards, that is to say, of accommodating a considerable proportion of its population in high blocks of flats. It is said that the English man objects to this type of existence, but if the case is such, he does in fact differ from the inhabitants of most countries of the world today. In the past our own blocks of flats have been associated with the lower-income groups and they have lacked the obvious provisions, such as central heating, constant hot water supply, electrically operated lifts from top to bottom, and so on, as well as such details, important notwithstanding (然而), as easy facilities for disposal of dust and rubbish and storage places for baby carriages in the ground floor, playgrounds for children on the top of the buildings, and drying grounds for washing. It is likely that the dispute regarding flats versus (对，对抗) individual houses will continue to rage on for a long time as far as Britain is concerned. And it is unfortunate that there should be hot feelings on both sides whenever this subject is raised. Those who oppose the building of flats base their case primarily on the assumption (设想) that everyone prefers an individual home and on the high cost per unit of accommodation. The latter ignores the higher cost of providing full services to a scattered community and the cost in both money and time of the journeys to work for the suburban resident.26.We can infer from the passage that _____.A)English people, like most people in other countries, dislike living in flatsB)people in most countries of the world today are not opposed to living in flatsC)people in Britain are forced to move into high blocks of flatsD)modern flats still fail to provide the necessary facilities for living27.What is said about blocks of flats built in the past in Britain?A)They were mostly inhabited by people who did not earn much.B)They were usually not large enough to accommodate big families.C)They were sold to people before necessary facilities were installed.D)They provided playgrounds for children on the top of the buildings.28.The word "rage" (Line 9) means _____.A)be ignoredB)develop with great forceC)encourage people greatlyD)be in fashion29.Some people oppose the building of flats because _____.A)the living expenses for each individual family are higherB)it involves higher cost compared with the building of housesC)they believe people like to live in houses with gardensD)the disposal of rubbish remains a problem for those living in flats30.The author mentions that people who live in suburban houses _____.A)do not have access to easy facilities because they live away from the cityB)have to pay a lot of money to employ people to do service workC)take longer time to know each other because they are a scattered communityD)have to spend more money and time traveling to work every dayQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passageMost people would agree that, although our age exceeds all previous ages in knowledge,there has been no corresponding increase in wisdom. But Agreement ceases as soon as we attempt to define "wisdom" and consider means of promoting it.There are several factors that contribute to wisdom. Of these I should put first a sense of proportion: the capacity to take account of all the important factors in a problem and to attach to each its due weight. This has become more difficult than it used to be owing to the extent and complexity of the special knowledge required of various kinds of technicians. Suppose, for example, that you are engaged in research in scientific medicine. The work is difficult and is likely to absorb the whole of your mind. You have no time to consider the effect which your discoveries or inventions may have outside the field of medicine. You succeed (let us say) as modern medicine has succeeded, in enormously lowering the infant death-rate, not only in Europe and America, but also in Asia and Africa. This has the entirely unintended result of making the food supply inadequate and lowing the standard of life in the parts of the world that have the greatest populations. To take an even more dramatic example, which is in everybody's mind at the present time; you study the makeup of the atom from a disinterested(无利害关系的) desire for knowledge, and by chance place in the hands of a powerful mad man the means of destroying the human race.Therefore, with every increase of knowledge and skill, wisdom becomes more necessary, for every such increase augments (增强)our capacity for realizing our purposes, and therefore augments our capacity for evil, if our purpose are unwise.31.Disagreement arises when people try to decide _____.A)how much more wisdom we have now than beforeB)what wisdom is and how to develop itC)if there is a great increase of wisdom in our ageD)whether wisdom can be developed or not32.According to the author, "wisdom" is the ability to _____.A)carefully consider the bad effects of any kind of research workB)give each important problem some careful considerationC)acquire a great deal of complex and special knowledgeD)give suitable consideration to all the possible elements in a problem33.Lowering the infant death-rate may _____.A)prove to be helpful everywhere in the worldB)give rise to an increase in population in EuropeC)cause food shortages in Asia and AfricaD)raise the living standard of the people in Africa34.The author uses the examples in the passage to illustrate his point that _____.A)it's extremely difficult to consider all the important elements in problemB)success in medical research has its negative effectsC)scientists may unknowingly cause destruction to the human raceD)it's unwise to be totally absorbed in research in scientific medicine35. What is the main idea of the passage? _____A)It is unwise to place the results of scientific research in the hands of a powerful mad man.B)The more knowledge one has, the wiser one becomes.C)Any increase of knowledge could lead to disastrous results without the guidance ofwisdom.D)Wisdom increases in proportion to one's age.Part III Vocabulary and Structure (30 points)Section A (10 points)Directions:There are 20 incomplete sentences in this part.
