In the schools of Ancient Greece and Rome, testing usually consisted of saying poetry aloud or giving speeches.In the European universities of the Middle Ages, students whowere working for advanced degrees had to discuss questions in their fieldof study with people who had made a special study of the subject. This custom exists today as part of the process of testing candidates (考⽣) for the doctor‘s degree.Generally , however, modern examinations are written. The written examination, where all Students are tested on the on the same questions,was probably not known until the nineteenth century.Perhaps it came into existence with the great increase in populationand the development of modern Industry, A room full of candidates for a state examination, timed exactly by electric clocks and Carefully watched over by managers, resembles a group of workers at an automobilefactory. Certainly, , during examinations teachers and students are expected to actlike machines.One type of test ins sometimes called an objective test . It isintended to deal with facts, not personal opinions. To make up anobjective test the teacher writhes a series of questions, each of which has only one correct answer. Along with each question the teacher writes the correct answer and also three statements that look like answers to students who have not learned the material properly.31. In the Middle Ages students（）A. took objective testsB. were timed by electric clocksC. specialized in one subjectD. never wrote exams32. The main idea of paragraph 3 is that （）A. workers now take examinationsB. the population has grownC. there are only written exams todayD. examinations are now written and timed33. The kind of exams where students must select answers are （）A. personalB. spokenC. objectiveD. written34. Modern industry must have developed（）A. before the Middle AgesB. in Greece of RomeC. around the 19 th centuryD. machines to take tests35. It may be concluded that testing（）A. should test only opinionsB. has hanged since the Middle AgesC. should always be writtenD. is given only in factoriesTask 2For millions of people around the world, the very word "Christmas"brings warmth and joy to their hearts and homes. To some, it is simply a very popular holiday. But for many, it honors the birth of Jesus Christ. Here is a brief history of Christmas and some of the traditions connected with it.Why December 25th?Well, during the first two centuries after Jesus' death, Christmas wasnot celebrated at all. Various attempts were made to determine the date of birth of Jesus, and at first, May 20th became the favored date. By the middle of the fourth century, however, Pope Julius selected December25th as the day on which to celebrate Christ's birth. Before that, December 25th had been a widely celebrated day in the Roman world. Onthat date, people honored a Roman sun god. Many modern Christmas customs, such as having a tree in the house and preparing special meals, came from this ancient celebration.Let's decorate the tree!The Christmas tree tradition was started in Germany in the late fifteenth century. At that time, there was a popular theater play which included a fir tree hung with apples. Today, more than 80 percent of Americanfamilies buy and decorate a tree at Christmas.How many Christmas cards do you usually send?The first commercial Christmas cards were made in London in 1843. Arich man paid an artist to design a card. He then proudly sent it to his friends and relatives to wish them a "Merry Christmas." It was a goodidea and it soon caught on. Today, Americans exchange millions of Christmas cards every year.Santa Claus is coming to town!St. Nicholas was the original Santa Claus or "Father Christmas". He was widely known as a kind man who loved children. After his death, a story developed that he used to visit children on Christmas Eve and give them presents. When the Dutch people came to live in America many years ago, they brought their St. Nicholas, or Sinter Klaas in Dutch, with them. SinterKlaas is therefore where we get the name Santa Claus.What's in that stocking?According to the story, the practice of hanging up stockings is connected with St. Nicholas. It is believed that St. Nicholas learned about a man who was hopelessly in debt. He also learned that the man and his daughters were about to be sold as slaves. Nicholas went to the man's home at night and threw a bag of gold through the man's window. Thebag of gold landed in one of the daughters' stockings that had been hungup to dry.Today, all the above traditions are still kept as ways of celebrating Christmas.36. Lots of people celebrate Christmas to（）A. show respect for Jesus ChristB. get warmth and joyC. spend money while shoppingD. spend money while shopping37. According to Paragraph 3, which of the following is NOTtrue? （）A. People tried many times to decide the date of birth of Jesus.B. People tried many times to decide the date of birth of Jesus.C. December 25th used to be a day on which to show respect to aRoman sun god.D. Christmas was celebrated widely soon after Jesus' death.38. What does "it soon caught on" in Paragraph 7 mean? （）A. It was not allowed by the people in London.B. It was popular among the people.C. It was not welcomed by the man's relatives and friends.D. It was very expensive.39. From the text, we can learn that the story of Father Christmas may come from（）A. the GermansB. the RomansC. the DutchD. the Americans40. Why does Father Christmas put the presents in the stockings? （）A. Because he doesn't know where to put the presents.B. Because the stockings are good places for the presents.C. Because he wants children to spend time finding them.D. Because the gold thrown by St. Nicholas happened to fall in the stockings.Task 3Even the most powerful computer in the world can't be a geniusbecause it has no character. It can remember and calculate quickly andaccurately, and handle great amounts of information—but it can't think about the information like we can. It has no feelings, no opinions, no moments of madness.Study the great human geniuses and you'll see that they all havespecial parts to their character, qualities that allow them to go beyond everything previously achieved. Their lives hold many of the secrets to having great ideas and putting them into practice. To be a genius you need to:—Have fun. Leonardo da Vinci was well known for his jokes andfunny stories. Galileo had a busy social life and was another great joker. Bill Gates, the world's richest man, and the genius behind Microsoft, has been described as "a big teenager". He once said that one of his favorite hobbies was playing with earthmoving equipment on building sites!—Be curious. Geniuses spend their lives asking questions about theworld around them.Leonardo da Vinci filled many notebooks with his questions that he wanted to answer. Here is one passage from his notebook:。

For each of them there are 4 choices marked A,B,C and D. You should decide on the best choice, and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage 1I strongly believe that understanding is more important than love, especially when it comes to parenting and intimate relationships. As a psychologist for more than twenty years I can tell you that I have never had an adult looking back at her childhood and complaining that her parents were too understanding. And similarly, I have met many divorced people who still love each other but yet they never really understood each other.The painful reality is love is just not enough. I’ll admit that there are people who I love and who I still need to b etter understand. I hope I’ll continue my work to understand them. The willingness to understand is very important. It is not always easy, but healthy love is strengthened by the willingness to understand. Love without understanding will wilt like flowers without water.Our egos are what seem to get in the way of understanding those who we love and care about. Often it is our need to be right that makes what others think and feel so wrong for us. I have certainly been quite guilty of this in some of my relationships.As I have written repeatedly in my books, empathy, is truly the emotional glue that holds all close relationships together. Empathy allows us to slow down and try to walk in the shoes of those we love. The deeper our empathy, the deeper—and healthier— our love. Not all relationships are meant to be. Yet all relationships that are meant to flourish in a healthy way, must stress understanding just as much, if not more, than love.61. From the passage we know that________.A. the author complains about her parents ‘being too understandingB. the author has been studying marriages for more than 20 yearsC. people divorced mainly because they didn’t love each otherD. some people divorced because they couldn’t understand each other62. Why are we unable to understand the others sometimes?A. Because we are caring the others too much.B. Because it is quite difficult to understand the others.C. Because we believe we are always right.D. Because the others have done something wrong.63. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. Understanding is more important to parenting relationship than to other intimaterelationships.B. Understanding is less important than love as far as marriage is concerned.C. Understanding is more important than love to some degree.D. Understanding is more often neglected in parenting relationship.64. If we are to understand our partners, we should ________firstly .A. have willingness to do soB. have love for themC. get into connection with themD. care about them65. In this passage, the expression “walk in the shoes of” is similar in meaning to________ .A. befriendB. understandC. loveD. care aboutPassage 2Finally, the Christmas season is over. We can take a long breath, put up our feet, sip from a cup of good tea and relax. The frenzy, starting from Black Friday right after Thanksgiving until Christmas Eve, of gift shopping, buying, wrapping, giving, receiving, opening, returning…is exhaustive and time consuming, but it takes place every year.There is considerable difference between the cultures in China and western countries when it comes to gift giving. In China, it is not polite to open a gift in front of the gift giver, and gift is only looked at after the guest has left. Here in America, gift givers always wrap their gifts, large or small, priceless or valueless, carefully and decorate them with colorful ribbons and little pretty paper flowers; and the lucky receiver is expected to open the gift right away in front of the giver, with great eagerness and curiosity, and should always express appreciation with the all time truthful comment, “this is just exactly what I wanted!” Well, as a matter of fact, most people would take their “always wanted” gi fts back to the store to exchange for something they reallywanted.Finding a gift for somebody, even a close family member, you’ll have to know what the person likes and shop for days before you can locate the perfect gift. But, still the person may not like the gift from you. Nowadays, stores would provide two copies of the receipts for anything they sell as a gift, one of which is included in the gift package so that the receiver can come back for an exchange. I know, it was unthinkable to cash out gift you get, but, times are different. Another good way to avoid all that shopping hassle is to purchase a gift card from one of the stores and send it to your niece, nephews, or a family member, so that they can get whatever they want or even keep the money.66. Finding a gift for somebody is a(n)________.A. easy jobB. tough taskC. Must be jobD. arranged task67. It is quite ________ for Chinese people to open the gift in front of the givers.A. usualB. normalC.abnormalD. unusual68. Gift giving is the same thing in China and America in that ________.A. people spend a lot of time preparing a giftB. people would cash out the gift immediatelyC. people are eager to get a gift from a friendD. people are less willing to give gifts69. Which of the following is the author’s suggestion?A. Open the gift immediately in front of the giver.B. Wrap the gift carefully.C. Express the appreciation for the gift you receive.D. Buying a present card to avoid the trouble in shopping.70. The author’s attitude towards gift giving is________ .A. indifferentB. protestingC.objectiveD. supportivePassage 3They already guide blind and disabled people；now dogs are to be trained to help people with dementia(痴呆). The duti es of these “guide dogs for the mind” will include reminding their owners to take medication, as well as encouraging them to eat, drink and sleep at regular intervals.The dementia dogs will be trained to respond to sound triggers in the home that prompt them to perform tasks. These could include delivering a bite proof bag of medicine with a note inside reminding the patient to take it, or waking them up in the morning.The idea was developed by design students at the Glasgow School of Art and will now be put into practice by Alzheimer’s Scotland and Dogs for the disabled.Joyce Gray of Alzheimer’s Scotland said: “People in the early stages of dementia are still able to live a relatively normal life, and dogs help to maintain routine.”The other advantage of using the pets as companions is that conversation can be increasingly confusing for people with Alzheimer’s, but dogs can give them a sense of silent support and companionship. People light up when they see animals. They don’t need to communicate ver bally but they can still interact. You can have a speechless bond.The dog would also encourage the owner to take them out for walks, ensuring they keep exercising and interacting with other people.71. As is mentioned in the passage, the guide dogs will do the following except for________.A. helping ensure the owner doing some exercisesB. reminding the owner to take medicineC. communicating with the owner in a non verbal wayD. helping the owner recover from the illness72. Who will train the dogs to perform such tasks?A. The students who developed the idea.B. The owners of the dogs.C. The experts in Alzheimer’s Scotland.D. It is not mentioned in the passage.73. What is true about the people suffering from dementia?A. They would like to stay with other people.B. They can maintain routine.C. They will gradually lose the ability to live a normal life.D. They would like to talk in a different way.74. The guide dogs helping the people with dementia will________.A. respond to t he owners’ orderB. respond to a sound deviceC. act on the owners’ instructionsD. act on the trainers’ order75. Having a conversation with people with dementia will be________.A. difficultB. interestingC. confusingD. encouragingPassage 4It seems obvious that you don’t give away your product for free but this is exactly what indie rock group The Crimea did earlier this year. The band’s reasoning goes like this: more people will download the free album than would pay for it. Therefore more people will hear The Crimea’s music. These people will then pay money for concerts by the band and perhaps buy a T-shirt or other merchandise. If the band play regular concerts to crowds of 200 or 300 people they can make more money than they would from sales of a CD. There will always be some people who want something they can hold in their hands so they will release the CD into the shops too—but making money through sales of their music isn’t the top priority.The story illustrates the creative thinking going on in the music business in response to dramatic changes over the last few years in the way that people buy music. Sales of music digitally—to computer, phones and MP3 players rose to＄2 billion in 2006—an increase of almost 100 percent on the previous year—yet overall record company sales are down. People are simply not buying CDs in record shops in anything like the numbers they used to.This trend looks set to continue so the big question for the music industry is whether they can successfully manage the move to being primarily a digital industry without profits falling to unacceptable levels.There are both positive and negative signs. On the plus side, more and more people are buying music on mobile phones, which allows people to make impulse purchases—they can buy a song as soon as they hear it. Research by the UK mobile operator 3 suggested that 75 percent of 16 to 24year olds wanted to buy a track they liked as soon as they heard it. With so much competition for people’s disposable income, a product that you can sell immediately is a big advantage.The bad news for record companies, however, is the amount of music that is downloaded illegally.Piracy—usually in the form of cheaply copied CD—has long been an issue for the music business but the Internet means music can be copied and distributed freely through file-sharing sites on a large scale than ever before.It is this situation that leads bands to start giving away their music for free and promises to make the next few years a very interesting time in the music business.76. What is unusual about the Crimea’s business plan?A. Their business was given away free on the Internet.B. They gave CDs away free in shops.C. They played free concerts.D. They charged more for their CDs77. The Crimea hope to make money________ .A. through CD salesB. by giving concerts and selling T-shirts and other merchandiseC. by selling merchandise on the InternetD. through sales of merchandise in shops78. The Crimea also released CDs for sale in shops because________ .A. people who attend their concerts need themB. they want to make extra moneyC. there are still people who prefer CDs to other formatsD. people who fail to attend their concerts need them79. What is true about sales of music over the last year?A. Overall, sales are up last year.B. Overall, sales are down last year.C. There is no change compared to previous sales.D. It is not mentioned in the passage.80. What effect has the Internet had on music piracy?A. It has made it easier to fight piracy.B. It has increased the number of pirate CDs available.C. It has made it easier to illegally copy music.D. It has reduced the number of pirate CDs available.Part Ⅱ Cloze (1×20 points)Directions: There are 20 blanks in the following passage. For each blank there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should choose the ONE that best fits into the passage and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Many visitors to the United Kingdom go straight to London and never set foot outside the capital—which is a pity, for those that do are often surprised at the sheer variety of landscapes 41 within such a small geographical area. 42 you want to see stunning, unspoilt scenery you should 43 spend a few days in one of Britain’s largest areas of protected countryside, a national park. 44 in the second half of the 20th century after popular pressure for access 45 the country;s wilder places, there are now 15 of them throughout the British Isles.The biggest is the Cairngorms in northern Scotland, named 46 some of the country’s highest mountains and the best place for skiing.

If you don’t like the 49 to the highest point, some 2,000 metres 50 sea level, you can take the railway 51 gets you to the summit in less than ten minutes. 52 the west of the park is another popular natural 53 , Loch Ness. The lake is over 200 metres 54 in places, and salmon, trout and eels are in abundance here.Over the border in England is the Lake District, 55 made famous by Romantic poets such as William Wordsworth two hundreds years ago. People have been 56 here en masse since 1847 57 a railway was built to its biggest lake, Windermere. 58 in the past boats plied its waters 59 stone, timber and wood, today’s craft are more likely to carry 60 on pleasure cruises—over a million a year, in fact.41.

I would say to myself .“I _33_ why that woman doesn’t wipe her window. It really looks terrible.”One bright morning I decided to _34_ my flat, including wiping the windows on the inside. Late in the afternoon when I finished the work, I sat down by the window with a cup of coffee for a rest. What a (an)_35_! Across the way, the woman sitting by her window was _36_ visible. Her window was clean.Then it dawned (明⽩)on me. I have been criticizing (批评)her dirty window, but all the time I was watching hers through my dirty window.That was quite an important lesson for me.

They say more Americans need to take a nap—that is to rest for a short period in the middle of the day. They give people advice to sleep lightly before continuing with other activities. The experts say naps might improve health by reducing pressure.Some European and Latin American companies have supported the idea of napping for many years. They ask people to leave work, go home and have a nap before returning. In the United States, some companies let workers rest simply in their offices. They believe this can help workers make fewer mistakes and also increase the amount of work that a person can do. Sleep experts say it is likely that people make more mistakes at work than at other time. They suggest that people should not carry out important tasks when they feel sleepy. And they believe the best thing to do is to take a nap. About 20 minutes of rest is all you need. Experts say this provides extra energy and can increase your efficiency until the end of the day. Bat they point out that a nap should last no more than 20 to 30 minutes. A longer nap will put the body into deep sleep and waking up will be difficult.56.

The advantages of deep sleep during weekends.C. The disadvantages of deep sleep during weekends.D. The disadvantages of taking a nap during the day.Questions 61-65 are based on the fallowing passage：Indonesia is my mother’s homeland and one of my favorite countries. Since I was young, Ihave learned a lot about the country and become interested in it. For a long time I had wanted to do something for the country and people there, and I thought volunteering (做志愿者)would be a good and fun way to do so.I received the greatest pleasure from being with the children.Teaching my first English class in Aeeh was exciting but I was rather nervous. As time passed by, I learned how to be a better teacher. Teaching was actually the most enjoyable of my many responsibilities (责任).Many children were shy at first. But when they relaxed, they would start talking and telling you a lot of funny things. I believed we were helping them build up their confidence.For the children who are more in need, the Education Program (TEP) will collect donations (募捐)to help them.As a volunteer, I had to visit TEP children at home once a month and help them write a thank-you letter to their sponsors.

He’d need a fan or a strong wind to help him putthem out.While many people in China will remember Confucius on his special day, few people in the United States will give him a passing thought, because it’s nothing personal. Most Americans don’t even remember the birthdays of their own national heroes.But this doesn’t mean that Americans don’t care about Confucius. In many ways he hasbecome a bridge that foreigners muse cross if they want to reach a deeper understanding of China.In the past two decades, the Chinese Study Programs have gained large popularity in Western universities. More recently, the Chinese government has set up Confucius Institutes in more than 80 countries. These schools teach both Chinese language and culture. The main courses of Chinese culture usually include Chinese art, history and philosophy ( 哲学). Some social scientists suggest that Westerners should take advantage of the ancient Chinese wisdomto make up for the drawbacks (缺陷) of Western philosophy. Students in the United States, atthe same time, are racing to learn Chinese. Businessmen who hope to make money in China are reading books about Confucius to understand their Chinese customers.Today China attracts the West more than ever, and more teachers are needed to introduce Confucius and Chinese culture to the West.66.

Each of the first three passages 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. Answer the questions on the four passages. Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage. When we meet another person for the first time, we are actually flooded with new information. Almost at once, we notice his appearance, style of dress, and monner of speech. Furthermore, as we listen to what he has to say and observe the things he does, we begin to form some ideas of what kind of person hisand what he intends to do. As you know from your own experience, though, we do not only gather these separate pieces of information. Instead, we go further and combine them into a unified picture. In short, we form an overall im pression of each person we meet-an impression that can be favorable or unfavorable. But how precisely do we perform this task? How do we combine so much different information into a clear first impression with such quick speed? A great deal of research has been performed on this question, and resulits point to the following answer: We perform this task through a special type of averaging. Expressed very simply our impressions of others seem to represent a weighted average of all information that can be gathered about them. That is, they reflect a process in which all information we have about others is averaged to gether—but with some facts, or input receiving greater sense. For example, in forming an impression of a new boss you would probably be influedced to a much greater degree by how this person gives you orders ( whether respectfully or not ) than by the color of his or her eyes. The fact that not all information about other persons affects our impressions of them to the same degree, raises an important question: Just what kinds of input receive the greatest weight? Again research provides some revealing(发⼈深思) an-swers. 26. This passage is mainly about_______. A. how our first impressions are expressed. B. how our first impressions are formed. C. how we can favorably impress others. D. how first impression affect our lives. 27. According to the passage, the first impression is_______. A. the result of quick look. B. not based on enough information. C. a combination of pieces ofinformation. D. the observation of what a person does. 28. Research has shown that first impressions are generally more influenced by______. A. the way others spesk. B. appearance and styule of dress. C. all information we have. D. certain types of information at hand. 29. The word “weight”in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to_______. A. amount B. research C. importance D. burden 30. The following paragraph will most probably siscuss______. A. wrong first impression of other people. B. selected information for forming first impression. C. the importance of first impression in job situation. D. ways of making good first impression.。

As a psychologist for more than twenty years I can tell you that I have never had an adult looking back at her childhood and complaining that her parents were too understanding. And similarly, I have met many divorced people who still love each other but yet they never really understood each other.The painful reality is love is just not enough. I’ll admit that there are people who I love and who I still need to better understand. I hope I will continue my work to understand them. The willingness to understand is very important. It is not always easy,but healthy love is strengthened by the willingness to understand. Love without understanding will wilt like flowers without water.Our egos are what seem to get in the way of understanding those who we love and care about. Often it is our need to be right that makes what others think and feel so wrong for us. I have certainly been quite guilty of this in some of my relationships.As I have written repeatedly in my books, empathy , is truly the emotional glue that holds all close relationships together. Empathy allows us to slow down and try to walk in the shoes of those we love. The deeper our empathy, the deeper---the healthier---our love. Not all relationships are meant to be. Yet all relationships that are meant to flourish in a healthy way, must stress understanding just as much, if not more, than love.61.From the passage, we know that _____.A.the author complains about her parents’ be ing too understandingB.the author has been studying marriage for more than 20 yearsC.People divorced mainly because they didn’t love each otherD.Some people divorced because they couldn’t understand each other62.Why are we unable to understand the others sometimes?A.Because we are caring the others too much.B. Because it is quite difficult to understand the others.C. Because we believe we are always rightD.Because the others have done something wrong63.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A.Understanding is more important to parenting relationships than to other intimate relationships.B.Understanding is less important than love as far as marriage is concerned.C.Understanding is more important than love to some degree.D.Understanding is more often neglected in parenting relationship.64.If we are to understand our parents, we should firstly _____.A.have willingness to do soB.have love for themC.get into connection with themD.care about them65.In this passage, the expression “walk in the shoes of” is similar in meaning to ____.A.befriendB.understandC.loveD.care aboutPassage TwoFinally, the Christmas season is over. We can take a long breath, put up our feet, sip from a cup of good tea and relax. The frenzy, starting from Black Friday right after Thanksgiving until Christmas Eve, of gift shopping, buying, wrapping, giving, receiving, opening, returning...is exhaustive and time---consuming, but it takes place every year.There is considerable difference between the cultures in China and western countries when it comes to gift giving. In China, it is not polite to open a gift in front of the gift giver, and gift is only looked at after the guest has left. Here in America, gift givers always wrap their gifts, large or small, priceless or valueless, carefully and decorate them with colorful ribbons and little pretty paper flowers; and the lucky receiver is expected to open the gift right away in front of the giver, with great eagerness and curiosity, and should always express appreciation with the all time truthful comment,“this is just exactly what I wanted!” Well, as a matter of fact, most people would take their“always wanted” gifts back to the store to exchange for something they really wanted.Finding a gift for somebody, even a close family member, you will have to know what the person likes and shop for days before you can locate the perfect gift. But , still the person may not like the gift from you. Nowadays, stores would provide two copies of the receipts for anything they sell as a gift, one of which is included in the gift packaged so that the receiver can come back for an exchange. I know, it was unthinkable to cash out gift you get, but, times are different. Another good way to avoid all that shopping hassle is to purchase a gift card from one of the stores and send it to your niece, nephews, or a family member, so that they can get whatever they want or even keep the money.66.Finding a gift for somebody is a(n) _____.A.easy jobB.tough taskC.must-be jobD.arranged task67.It is quite _____ for Chinese people to open the gift in front of the givers.ualB.normalC.abnormalD.unusual68.Gift giving is the same thing in China and America in that _____.A.people spend a lot of time preparing a giftB.People would cash out the gift immediatelyC.People are eager to open to get a gift from a friendD.People are less willing to give gifts.69.Wh ich of the following is the author’s suggestion?A.Open a gift immediately in front of the giver.B.Wrap the gift carefully.C.Express the appreciation for the gift you receive.D.Buying a present card to avoid the trouble in shopping70.The author’s attit ude towards gift giving is_____.A.indifferentB.protestingC.objectiveD.supportivePassage ThreeThey already guide blind and disabled people ;now dogs are to be trained to help people with dementia(痴呆).The duties of these “guide dogs for the mind” will include reminding their owners to take medication, as well as encouraging them to eat , drink and sleep at regular intervals.The dementia dogs will be trained to respond to sound triggers in the home that prompt them to perform tasks .These could include delivering a bite-proof bag of medicine with a note inside reminding the patient to take it , or waking them up in the morning.The idea was developed by design students at the Glasgow School of Art and will now be put into practice by Alzheimer’s Seotland and Dogs for the disabled.Joyee Gray of Alzheimer’s Scotland said:“People in the early stages of dementia are still able to live a relative normal life , and dogs help to maintain routine .”The other advantage of using the pets as companions is that conversation can be increasingly confusing for people with Alzheimer’s ,but dogs can give them a sense of silent support and companionship . People light up when they can see animals .They don’t need to communicate verbally but they c an still interact . You can have a speechless bond .The dog would also encourage the owner to take them out for walks ,ensuring they keep exercising and interacting with other people .71.As is mentioned in the passage ,the guide dogs will do the following except for ____ .A.helping ensure the owner doing some exercisesB.reminding the owner to take medicinemunicating with the owner in a non-verbal wayD.helping the owner recover from the illness72.Who will train the dogs to perform such tasks?A.The students who developed the idea.B.The owners of the dogs.C.The experts in Alzheimer’s Scotland .D.It is not mentioned in the passage .73.What is true about the people suffering from dementia?A.They would like to stay with other people.B.They can maintain routine .C.They will gradually lose the ability to live a normal life .D.They would like to talk in a different way .74.The guide dogs helping the people with dementia will ___.A.respond to the owners orderB.respond to a sound deviceC.act on the owners instructionsD.act on the trainers order75.Having a conversation with people with dementia will be ___.A.difficultB.interestingC.confusing D .encouragingPassage FourIt seems obvious that yo u don’t give away your product for free but this is exactly what indie rock group The Crimea did earlier this year. The band’s reasoning goes like this: more people will download the free album than would pay for it. Therefore, more people will hear The Cr imea’s music. These people will then pay money for concerts by the band and perhaps buy a T-shirt or other merchandise. If the band play regular concerts to crowds of200 or 300 people they can make more money than they would from sales of CD. There will always be some people who want something they can hold in their hands so they will release the CD into the shops too---but making money through sales of their music isn’t the top priority.The story illustrates the creative thinking going on in their music in response to dramatic changes over the last few years in the way that people buy music. Sales of music digitally ---to computer, phone and MP3 players rose to $2 billion in 2006---an increase of almost 100 percent on the previous year---yet overall record company sales are down. People are simply not buying CDs in record shops in anything like the numbers they used to.This trend looks set to continue so the big questions for the music industry is whether they can successfully manage the move to being primarily a digital industry without profits falling to unacceptable levels.There are both positive and negative signs. On the plus side, more and more people are buying music by mobile phones, which allows people to make impulse purchases---they can buy a song as soon as they hear it. Research by the UK mobile operator 3 suggested that 75 percent of 16 to 24-year-olds wanted to buy a track they liked as soon as they heard it. With so much competition for people’s disposable income, a product you can sell immediately is a big advantage.The bad news for the record companies, however, is the amount of music that is downloaded illegally. Piracy---usually in the form of cheaply copied CD---has long been an issue for the music business but the internet means music can be copied and distributed freely through file-sharing sites on a large scale than ever before.It is this situation that leads bands to start giving away their music for free and promises to make the next few years a very interesting time in the music business.76.What is unusual about the Crimea’s business plan ?A.Their business was given away free on the Internet .B.They gave CDs away free in shops .C.They played free concerts.D.They charged more for their CDs.77.The Crimea hope to make money___.A.through CD salesB.by giving concerts and selling T-shirts and other merchandiseC.by selling merchandise on the InternetD.through sales of merchandise in shops78.The Crimea also released CDs for sale in shops because ___.A.people who attend their concerts need themB.they want to make extra moneyC.there are still people who prefer CDs to other formatsD.people who fail to attend their concerts need them79.What is true about sales of music over the last year?A.Overall,sales are up on last year.B.Overall,sales are down on last year.C.There is no change compared to previous salesD.It is not mentioned in the passage.80.What effect has internet had on music piracy?A.It is made it easier to fight piracyB.It has increased the number of pirate CDs available.C.It has made it easier to illegally copy music.D.It has reduced the number of pirate CDs available.Part IV TranslationSection A81.她喜欢看书时听音乐。

Reading Comprehension (45 points)Section A (30 points)Directions: There are three 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 are required to choose the ONE that best fits into the statement. Mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage 1Questions 16-20 are based on the following passage.Have you ever seen a movie in which a building was burnt down or a bridge was destroyed? Have you seen films in which a train crashed or a ship sank into the ocean? ff so, you may havewondered how these things could happen without harming the people in the film. The man who knows the answer is the special effects man. He has one of the most important jobs in the film industry. He may be ordered to create a flood, or to make a battlefield explode. But he may also be told to create a special effect which is much less exciting, though just as important to the success of the film.In a scene for one movie there was a big glass bowl filled with water in which small fish were swimming. The director of the movie wanted the fish to stop swimming suddenly while they seemed to stare at an actor. Then the director wanted the fish to stop staring and swim away. But fish cannot be ordered to do anything. It was quite a problem.The special-effects man thought about this problem for a long time. The result was an idea for controlling the fish with a harmless use of electricity. First .he applied electricity to the fish bowl causing the fish to be totally still. Then he rapidly reduced the amount of electricity allowing the fish to be swim away. Thus, he got the humorous effect the director wanted.As in other parts of movie making there are those who have developed particular skill in creating certain kinds of effects. For fires, the special-effects man for does not ----------burning proeessof wood or other -----He does not have time to wait until large ---------- -------------- All this requires training,skill and experience.It also adds a great deal to the ------producing the film . It helps explain why so many movies are very expensive to make.16. All the following scenes are probably the results of special effects in films except that ________?A. a bridge was destroyedB. a building was burned downC. a person wondered how not to harm peopleD. a ship sank into the ocean17. The job of a special-effects man is__________.A. most importantB.always exciting.C. less important.D. very rewarding18. --------------_________.A. --B. -----------------------------C. -------------.D. --------.19. -------______.A. ---------B. ---------C. ---------D. ---------------20. ------------ ________.A.-------B. -------C. --------D. ------------------Passage 2Questions 21-25 are based on the following passage.Before a new airliner goes into service Before a new airliner goes into service, every part of it is tested again and again. But there are two tests that are more important than all the others. Once of them is very strange and the other is very dangerous.the first of these is called the “tank test”, a modern airliner must fly at very high altitudes. Air must be pumped into the place so that the passengers can breathe. The metal structure of the plane has to be very strong for this reason. When the plane is filled with air, or “pressured”,the air presses against the skin of the plane inside. The pressure on a small window, for example, is like a huge foot that is trying to get out. If a small part of the plane were to crack, the plane would explode in the sky. This is what happened to the firest Comets. In order to test the structure of the plane, it is lowered into a huge tank of water .Then it is filled with air. The pressure inside the plane is greater than it ever will be when it is in the air. Finally, there is an explosion. This does not eause so much damage inside the water tank as it would anywhere -------------Engineers can discover which part of the plane has cracked. This part is made stronger.The most dangerous test happens when the new plane is going through test flight in the air. The test pilot must find exactly what happens when all the engines are shut off at once. He takes the plane up very high. Then he shuts the engines off, the plane begins to fall like a stone. the pilot’s job to find out how he can get control of the plane again. These two tests are examples of how planes are made safe before they ever carry passengers.21．The purpose of the “tank test” is to find out_______A. How much air passengers need to breathe at certain altitudes.B. How much air can be pumped into the plane.C. What would happen if the plane crashed in the water.D. if there are any weak parts in the plane that would burst under pressure22. -------------?A. --------.B. ------.C. --.D. ------.23．--------------------A. -----B. ----C. --.D. ------24．-------A. --------.B. ---------.C. -------D. -------25. The passage implies that modern airlines are ________A. reliableB. dangerousC. complicatedD. efficientV.Passage 3Questions 23-30 are based on the following passage.American this year will swallow 15,000 tons of aspirin, one of the safest and most effective drugsinvented by man. The most popular medicine in the world today, it is an effective pain reliever. Its badeffects are relatively mild and it is cheap.For millions of people suffering from arthritis (关节炎). It is the only thing that works. Aspirin, inshort, is truly the 20th-century wonder drug. It is also the second largest suicide drug and is the leadingcause of poisoning among children. It has side effects that, although relatively mild, are largely unrecognizedamong users.Although aspirin was at first sold by a German company in1899, it has been around much longer than that. Hippocrates, in ancient Greek, understood the medical value of the leaves and tree bark which today are known to contain salicylates (水杨酸碱), the chemical in aspirin. During the 19th century, there was a great deal of experimentation in Europe with this chemical, and it led to the introduction of aspirin. By 1915,aspirin tablets were available in the United States.A small quantity of aspirin (two-grain tablets) relieves pain and inflammation. It also reduces fever byinterfering with (干预) some of the body's reactions.26. -------.A. ---------B. ---C.---D. ----27. -----A. ----B. ----C. ----D. ----28.---A. --B.---C. ---D. ----29. The author of this arucle seems to be______ ?A. in favor of aspirinB. against the use of aspirinC. not interested in aspirinD. experienced in how to take aspirin30.A good title for thisd passage would be_____A.The Side Effects of AspirinB.Why I Take AspirinC.Aspirin:The Most Popular Medicine in the WorldD.The Commercial Value of AspirinSection B (15 points)Directions: In this section, there is a passage with 10 blanks. You are required to select one word each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage. Read the passage through carefully before making your choice. Each choice in blank is identified by a letter. Please mark the corresponding letter for each item on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.Question 31-40 are based on the following passage.The world is not only hungry, but it is also thirsty for water. This may 31 strange to you, since nearly 75% of the earth's surface is covered with water. But about 97% of that is sea water, or salt water. Man can only drink and use the other 3% the 32 water that----?---from rivers, lakes, underground, and other sources. And we can not even use all of that. -----------of it is in the form of icebergs and glaciers,Even worse, some of it has been 33 .However, as things stand today, this fresh water is still enough for us. But our need for water is becominglarger and larger quickly-almost day by day. We should take steps to do with this problem now and in thisway we can get away from a serious world-wide water shortage (缺乏) later on.We all have to learn how to stop wasting (浪费) our valuable water. One of the first steps is to develop(开发) ways of reusing it. Today in most large cities, water is used only once and then sent out into a sewersystem(下水道). From there it returns to sea or runs into underground places. But even if every large cityreused its water, we still would not have enough. All we'd have to do to make use of sea water in the worldis to remove the salt. If we take these we will be in no danger of drying up.IV. Cloze (30 points)Directions: There are 20 blanks in the following passage. For each blank there are four choices marked A,B,C and D. You are required to choose the ONE that best fits into the passage. Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.At the age of 21, Steve Jobs and a friend, Stephen Wozniak, built a personal computer calledthe Apple. The Apple changed people’s idea of a computer 41 a gigantic mass of vacuum tubes only big business and the government could 42 to a small box used by ordinary people. No company has done more to 43 the computer and make it use-friendly than Apple Computer Inc. Two years after building the Apple I, Steve Jobs 44 the Apple II. The Apple II was the best buy in 45 computers for home and small business 46 the following five years. Steve Jobs was 47 a brilliant young man in silicon valley, because he saw the future demands of the computer industry. “The personal computer was created by the hardware revolution of the 1970s and the next 48 change wi ll come from a software revolution”, said Jobs.Job was an orphan 49 by Paul and Clara Jobs in 1955. While still in high school, Jobs 50 lectures at the Hewlett-Packard electronics firm. There he was 51 as a summer employee and met another employee, Wozniak, who had a 52 for inventing electronic 53 . --------------------------Early in 1974 Jobs took a job 56 video games for Atari, Inc.

Everyone has got two personalities—the one that is shown to the world and the other that is secret and real. You don't show your secret personality when you're awake because you can control yourself, but when you're asleep, your sleeping position shows the real you. In a normal night, of course, you often change your sleeping positions. The important position that best shows your secret personality is the one that you go to sleep in.
If you go to sleep on your back, you're a very open person. You normally trust people and you are easily influenced by new ideas. You don't like to make people unhappy, so younever express your real feelingsr, you naturally show your secret and real personality ______.

Part I Reading Comprehension (60 marks, 60 minutes)Section A （每小题 2 分）Format ⅠDirections: There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by five questions. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C, and D. You should decide on the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet.（40 marks）Passage OneQuestions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.Have you ever wondered where the first doughnut(炸面圈)was made? Who thought up the idea of a fried cake with a hole in the center?No one knows for sure who made the first doughnut. Some people think that doughnut probably began in the 1800s as Dutch “ olykoeks ” or “oily cakes.” In those days, a cook would not want to waste any scraps of food. Leftover pieces of bread dough (生面团) were put into hot oil and fried. Olykoeks were tasty on the outside, but soft and uncooked in the center.Some people say that the mother of a New England sea captain invented the first real doughnut. Her name was Elizabeth Gregory. She replaced the soft center with spic es and nuts. But, Elizabeth’s son, Captain Gregory, did not like nuts. He punched out the center, and the consequence was the first hole in a doughnut.Others say the real story is that Captain Gregory had difficulty steering his ship while trying to eat doughnut. He asked the ship’s cook to make his doughnuts with holes so he could hang them on the steering wheel! Others think that Captain Gregory saw holed cakes in Europe and brought the idea back to America with him.During world war I, homesick American soldiers in Europe were served doughnuts by the Salvation Army. These brave women volunteering for the job were called “Doughnut Girls.” They often worked in dangerous conditions near the soldiers, so the Doughnut Girls wore helmets and uniforms. The women made doughnut cutters out of a large can with a smaller can inside it to cut out the hole. They could set up a kettle of hot oil to fry the dough almost anywhere.In the 1920s, doughnut machines were invented. Doughnuts were produced faster and easier than ever before. Still, many people preferred to make their favorite doughnuts at home.1.The passage is mainly about .A. the popularity of doughnutsB. the history of doughnutsC. the inventors of doughnutsD. the types of doughnuts2.The first Dutch “ olykoek ” came into being probably because.A.people did not like to eat fried foodB.cooks did not like to waste leftover foodC.Dutchmen liked oil cakes very muchD. cooks liked the soft center of cakes3.What was used to replace the uncooked center to improve doughnuts?A. Scraps of foodB. Jelly fillingC. Spices and nutsD. Leftover bread dough4.In paragraph 3, the word “consequence” probably means.A. actionB. damageC. problemD. result5.What can be inferred about the Doughnut Girls during world war I?A. They worked aboard a ship .B. They worked near battlefieldsC. They used untested machinesD. They used helmets to cook doughnutsPassage TwoQuestions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage.It is a blow for the Ugly Bettys and Plain Janes ——research shows that good looks lead to better pay. A study of 4,000 young men and women found that beauty boosted pay checks more than intelligence. Those judged to be the more attractive earned up to 10 percent more than their less attractive friends and colleagues. Applied to the average salary of ￡ 25,000 a year, the “ plainnesspenalty(处罚)”would make a difference of ￡2,500 a year —— or around ￡50 a week.It is unclear what is behind the phenomenon but it may be that beauty creates confidence. The self-confident may appear to be doing better than they are and will not hesitate about asking for a pay rise.Researcher Jason Fletcher, of Yale University in the U.S., rated the attractiveness of the 4,000 men and women. Just over half were judged average, while 7 percent were felt to be very attractive and 8 percent were judged unattractive or very unattractive. The volunteers also sat an IQ test and reported their salary. It became clear that pay scales were far from fair. For instance, a 14-point increase on the IQ score was associated with a 3 to 6 percent increase in wage. But being of above-average looks increased pay by 5 to 10 percent .For a plain person to be paid the same as a very attractive one , they would have to be 40 percent brighter, the journal Economics Letters reports.Dr Fletcher said:“The results do show that people’s looks have an impact on their wages and it can be very important.”6.What is the “plainness penalty”?A.To be paid less for being ordinarily-looking.B.To be laughed at for being ordinarily-looking.C.To be fired for being ordinarily-looking.D. To be questioned for being ordinarily-looking. 7.What’sthe average annual salary of a good-looking person?A. ￡2,500B. ￡25,000C. ￡22,500D. ￡27,5008.Good-looking people are usually paid more probably because .A. they look smarterB. they have higher degreesC. they are better at pleasing othersD. they are more confident9.How many people were rated as very attractive in Jason Fletcher’s study?A. About 280B. About 4,000C. About 2,000D. About 32010.Which of the following best summarizes the main idea of the passage ?A.IQ is less important than appearance.B.Confidence makes people prettier.C.Good looks earn an extra penny.D. How Plain Janes get a higher salary.Passage ThreeQuestions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage.Were you constantly bored as a child? Maybe that helped you to develop your ability to be creative.Boredom can be a good thing for children, according to Dr Teresa Belton, researcher at the University of East Anglia’s School of Education and Lifelong Learning. After interviewing authors, artists and scientists in Britain, she’s reached the conclusion that cultural expectations that children should be constantly active could block the development of their imagination.British actress and writer Meera Syal grew up in a small mining village with few distractions. The researcher said:“Lack of things to do urged her to talk to people she would n’t otherwise have engaged with and try activities she wouldn’t, under other circumstances, have experienced, such as talking to elderly neighbors and learning to bake cakes.”Belton added: “Boredom made her write. Meera Syal kept a diary from a young age, filling it with observations, short stories, poems. ”The researcher didn’t ignore the old saying the devil finds work for idle hands, though. Belton pointed out that young people who don’t have the interior resources to deal with boredom creatively may end up smashing up bus shelters or taking cars out for a joyride.How about watching TV and videos on the computer? The researcher believes that nothing replaces standing and staring at things and observing your surroundings.It’s the sort of thing that stimulates the imagination, she said, while the screen “tends to short circuit that process and the development of creative capacity. ”Dr Belton concluded: “For the sake of creativity, perhaps we need to slow down and stay offline from time to time. ”11. Dr Teresa Belton did her research by.A.studying cultural differencesB.interviewing professionalsC.keeping a diaryD. observing the surroundings12.Which of the following best describes the village where Meera Syal grew up?A. Modern and openB. Tiny and unexcitingC. Poor and underdevelopmentD. Remote and violent13.The expression “the devil finds work for idle hands” probably means that people are more likely to?A.do what they should not do if they meet devils.B.achieve nothing if they work with devilsC.do more work if they didn’t work hard when they were young.D.get involved in trouble if they have nothing to do with their time.14.What is Dr Belton’s advice for youngsters ?A.Observe the world around them.B.Get information online from time to time.C.Remain constantly active.D. Read as many books as possible.15.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A.Deal with boredom wisely.B.Learn from a young age.C.Enjoy village life.D. Forget old sayings.Passage FourQuestions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage:During her junior year of high school, Candice Backus’s teacher handed her a sheet and instructed the 17-year-old to map out her future financial life. Backus pretended to buy a car, rent an apartment, and apply for a credit card. Then, she and her classmates played the “stock market game, ” investing the hypothetical(假设的) earnings from their hypothetical jobs in the market in the fateful fall of 2008. “Our pretend investments crashed , ”Backus says, stil l horrified. “We felt what actual shareholders were feeling.”That pain of earning and losing money is a feeling that public school increasingly want to teach. Forty states now offer some types of financial instruction at the elementary or high-school level, including lessons in balancing checkbooks( 支票本 ) and buying stock in math and social-studies classes. The interest in personal-finance classes has risen since 2007 when bank failures became a regular occurrence.Rather than teach investment strategies, these courses offer a basic approach to handling money: Don’t spent what you don’t have. Put part of your monthly salary into a saving account, and invest in the stock market for the long-term rather than short-term gains. For Backus, this means dividing her earnings from her part-time job at a fast-food restaurant into separate envelopes for paying bills, spending, and saving. “Money is so hard to make but so easy to spend, ”she says one weekday after school.After Backus finished her financial classes, she opened up a savings account at her local bank and started to think more about how she and her family would pay for college. “She just has a better understanding of money and how it affects the world ,” says her mother, Darleen. All of this talk of mon ey can make Backus worry, she says, but luckily, she feels prepared to face it.16. The purpose of the high school class’s “stock market game” is to____________.A. introduce a new courseB. encourage personal savingsC. learn about investmentD. teach credit card hazards17. Student interest in taking classes on finance has increased because of____________.A. the state of the economyB. the need for employmentC. the rate of graduationD. the desire to purchase cars18. According to the passage, taking money management courses will help to____________.A. get accepted by collegesB. become very wealthyC. take more vacationsD. prevent from going into debt19.After Candice Backus completed the class about money, she _______.A. is debt freeB. manages the family incomeC. will graduate earlyD. feels more competent20.The author’s attitude toward financial classes in public school is ___________.A. positiveB. criticalC. objectiveD. worriedFormat ⅡDirections: In the following passage, some sentences have been removed. For questions 21—25, choose the most suitable one from the list A—G to fit into each of the numbered blanks. There are two extra choices, which do not fit into any of the gaps. Mark your answers on Answer Sheet.(10 marks)Now put on sunscreen(防晒霜)Some sunscreens prevent sunburn but not other types of skin damage. Make sure yours offers a broad range of protection.21.Anything higher than SPF 50+ can tempt you to stay in the sun toolong. Even if you d on’t burn, your skin may be damaged. Stick to SPFs between 15 and 50+. Pick a product based on your own skin color, time outside, shade and cloud cover.News about vitamin A. Eating vitamin A–rich vegetables is good for you, but spreading vitamin A on your skin may not be. Government data shows that cancers develop sooner on skin coated with creams with vitamin A .22.Pick a good sunscreen. EWG’s sunscreen database rates the safety and effect of about 1,400 SPF-rated products, including about 750 sunscreens for beaches and sports use. We give high ratings to brands that provide broad-range, long-lasting protection with ingredients that pose fewer health concerns whenabsorbed by the body.23.Cream, because sprays cloud the air with tiny particles that may not be safe to breathe. Reapply cream often. Sunscreen chemicals sometimes degrade in the sun, wash off or rub off on towels and clothing.24.The FAD treats powdered sunscreens as unapproved new drugs and may take enforcement action against companies that sell them-except for small businesses, which can sell powders until December 2013.25.Wear sunscreen. In 2009, nearly twice as many American men died form skin cancers as women. Surveys show that 34 percent of men wear sunscreens, compared to 78 percent of women.Got your vitamin D? Many people don’t get enough vitamin D, a hormone manufactured by the skin in the presence of sunlight. Your doctor can test your level and recommend supplements if you are low in this vital nutrient.A.No powder!B.Avoid midday sun.C.Message for men:D.Cream or spray?E.Don’t fall for high SPF labels.F.Take special precautions with infants and children.G.Avoid any sun product whose label says vitamin A.Section B （每小题 1 分）Directions: In this section, there is a passage with ten blanks.

Over 90 percent of teachers 33 theInternet and television. Children see images of“perfect”bodies every day and they feel they have to look that way too.

But it was not a valuable book, so a 21 man, who could read a little, bought it for a few coins.The book 22 very interesting, but between its pages there was something very interesting indeed. It was about the secret of the "Touchstone (试金石)" ! The touchstone was a small pebble (鹅卵石) that could 22 any common metal into pure gold. The writing explained that it was 23 among thousands and thousands of other pebbles that looked exactly like it. But the 24 was this: The real stone would feel warm, while ordinary pebbles were 25So the man sold his few belongings, bought some simple supplies, camped on the beach, and began 26 pebbles. He knew that if he picked up commonpebbles and threw 27 down again, he might pick up the same pebble hundreds of times. So, when he felt one that was cold, he threw it into the sea. He spent a whole day 28 this, but none of them was the touchstone. Yet he went on and on this way. Pick up a pebble. Cold—throw it into the sea. Pick up 29 Cold—throw it into the sea.The days stretched into weeks and the weeks into months and the months 30 years. One day, however, about mid-afternoon, he picked up a pebble and it was warm. He threw it into the sea 31 he realized what he had done. He had formed 32 a strong habit of throwing each pebble into the sea that when the one he wanted came along, he 33 threw it away.So it is with chance. 34 we don't pay enough attention, it is easy to miss a chance when it is in hand and it's just as easy to throw it away. 21、 A. rich B. poor C. kind D. selfish22、 A. is B. was C. isn't D. wasn't23、 A. become B. turn C. grow D. go24、 A. lie B. lay C. lying D. laying25、 A. rule B. secret C. problem D. question26、 A. cold B. cool C. warm D. hot27、 A. dealing B. explaining C. testing D. proving28、 A. him B. her C. it D. them29、 A. doing B. to do C. did D. done30、 A. the other B. the others C. another D. other31、 A. to B. in C. into D. for32、 A. after B. before C. while D. since33、 A. such B. so C. very D. quite34、 A. nearly B. almost C. hardly D. still35、 A.

If you are growing tomatoes in your backyard for sale you are producing for the market. You might sell some to your neighbor and some to the manager of the local supermarket. But in either case, you are producing for the market. Your efforts are being directed by the market. If people stop buying tomatoes, you will stop producing them.If you take care of a sick person to earn money, you are producing for the market. If your father is a steel worker or a truck driver or a doctor or a grocer(食品商) , he is producing goods or service for the market.When you spend your income, you are buying things from the market. You may spend money in stores, supermarkets, gas stations and restaurants. Still you are buying from the market. When the local grocer hires you to drive the delivery truck, he is buying your labor in the labor market.The market may seem to be something abstract. But for each person or business that is making and selling something, it's very real. If nobody buys your tomatoes, it won't be long before you get the message. The market is telling you something. It's telling you that you are using energies and resources in doing something the market doesn't want you to do.41、 Which of the following would be the best title?A. Selling and Buying.B.

It tells you what to produce.B. It tells you how to grow tomatoes.C. It provides you with everything you need.D. It helps you save money.Passage 3Researches show that many people do not leave all organizations but leave a boss. So it is vital that when you apply for a position, you not only look at the organization and the role, but also interview your future boss. Applying for a new job is a two-way street—they select you and you select them.Before you go to the interview, write down what your selection standards are for an effective boss. You can make a list of selection criteria, such as: What made your last boss "good" for you? How do you like to be trained? How do you like your boss to communicate with you?Then you place them in order of importance. The most important should be on top of the list. Once you are clear on your standards, you may get some idea of how your future boss operates by the way the interview is conducted. For example, did it start and finish on time? How formal or informal was the room?When the interview gets to the "Do you have any questions?" stage, you might like to ask some questions. With well-prepared questions, you can developa very good idea of your future boss's management style.46、 Many people leave an organization because ______.A. the boss doesn't like the employeesB. they don't like the bossC. the organization is not goodD. the organization is not important47、 If you place your questions in order of importance, you ______.A. put the least important firstB. put the longest question firstC. put the most important lastD. put the most important first48、 You can judge your future boss by the following EXCEPT ______.A. whether the interview started on timeB. whether the interview room was formalC. whether the boss played funny jokesD. whether the interview finished on time49、 From this passage we get to know ______.A. the interviewee can ask any question to the interviewerB. the interviewer asks many difficult questions to the intervieweeC. the interviewer asks questions firstD. the interviewee asks questions first50、 The best title for this passage might be ______.A. How to Get Along with Your New BossB. How to Ask Your New Boss QuestionsC. How to Select Your New BossD. How to Prepare for InterviewPassage 4A study of art history might be a good way to learn more about a culture than is possible to learn in general history classes. Most typical history coursesconcentrate on politics, economics and war. But art history focuses on much more than this because art reflects not only the political values of a people, but also religious beliefs, emotions and psychology. In addition, information about the daily activities of our ancestors can be provided by art. In short, art expresses the essential qualities of a time and a place, and a study of it clearly offers us a deeper understanding than can be found in most history books.In history books, objective information about the political life of a country is presented ; that is, facts about politics are given, but opinions are not expressed. Art, on the other hand, is subjective (主观的) : it reflects emotions and opinions. The great Spanish painter Francisco Goya was perhaps the first truly "political" artist. In his well-known painting The Third of May, 1808, he criticized the Spanish government for its abuse(滥用) of power over people. In the same way, art can reflect a culture's religious beliefs. For hundreds of years in Europe, religious art had been almost the only type of art that existed. Churches and other religious buildings were filled with paintings that described people and stories from the Bible. Although most people couldn't read, they could still understand the Bible stories in the pictures on church walls. By contrast, one of the main characteristics of art in the Middle East was (and still is) its absence of human and animal images. This reflects the Islamic belief that statues(雕像) are not holy.51、 More can be learned about a culture from a study of art history than general history because ______.A. art history shows us nothing but the political valuesB. general history only focuses on politicsC. art history gives us an insight (洞察力) into the essential qualities of a time and a placeD. general history concerns only religious beliefs, emotions and psychology52、 Art is subjective in that ______.A. a personal and emotional view of history is presented through itB. it only reflects people's anger or sadness about social problemsC. it can easily arouse people's anger about their governmentD. artists were or are religious, who reflect only the religious aspect of the society53、 Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. In history books political views of people are entirely presented.B. Francisco Goya expressed his religious belief in his painting The Third of May, 1808.C. In the Middle East, you can hardly find animal or human figures on palaces or other buildings.D. For centuries in Europe, painters had only painted on walls of churches.54、 The passage mainly discusses ______.A. the development of art historyB. the difference between general history and art historyC. what we can learn from artD. the influence of artists on art history55、 It can be concluded from the passage that ______.A. Islamic artists can paint images of plants, flowers or animals in their paintingsB. it is more difficult to study art history than general historyC. a history teacher must be quite objectiveD. artists painted people or stories from the Bible to hide their political beliefsⅣ．Writing56、Directions: For this part, you are required to write a composition of about 100~120 words based on the following situation.Information SecurityOutline:1．信息安全日益重要；2．信息安全事故可能导致的危害；3．如何做到信息安全。

Here are some practical ways for you if you want to be a success.1. Desire. Desire is the longing to achieve a vision(美景); without desire you have nothing.Before you can run with desire, your vision must be plain, clear and it must alsobe exciting．2. Show up. Seventy percent of success in life is showing up. You can't have a best seller, if you’ve never written a book. You can’t get your dream job, if you are scared to turn in an application.Showing up doesn't guarantee success, but if you don't show up, you won't succeed．3. Fail. Unless yo u’re willing to have a go, fail miserably,(糟糕地)and have another go, success won’t happen. To have success you have to do things the right way, but often the only way to do something right is to first fail at it. As Thomas J. Watson said, a simple formula (公式) for success is to double your rate of failure．So embrace (拥抱)failure, become a student of failure, learn from failure, and soon you will succeed．4. Work Harder. Everyone runs, but everyone is not willing to run for an hour every day. Success is not about doing what the average person can’t do;it’s about doing what the average person is unwilling to do.And on a deeper level, it's about creating habits that the average person is unwilling to cre ate．It's the habit of doing things with excellence that causes success5. Enjoy the Journey. Success is a journey, not a destination. Success is not a certain car or a certain house or a certain happy marriage. Success is the enjoyment of the journey. You have to enjoy the journey!Someone once said, "Unless you change how you are, you will always have what yo u've got．" You have to change.... you will change; you will succeed．36. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in gaining success? [单选题] *A. Working hardB. Good education(正确答案)C. Strong desireD. Enjoying failure37. By saying “everyone runs, but everyone is not willing to run for an hour every day”the author means that ____ . [单选题] *A. It’s not so easy for people to develop their healthB. you are sure to meet with some difficulty in your lifeC. working harder is necessary when you go after success(正确答案)D. most people don’t want to spend too much time running38. What does the author mostly want to tell us in the fourth paragraph? [单选题] *A. Failure is the mother of success(正确答案)B. Little by little, one goes farC. Every coin has two sidesD. Well began, half done39. Which of the following statement is TRUE about the passage? [单选题] *A. You can run with desire that is not excitingB. You will always have what you’ve got for everC. Success is about doing what the average person can’t doD. Success means the enjoyment of your gain or loss on the journey(正确答案)40. The best title for the passage might be ____ . [单选题] *A. Importance of SuccessB. Success or FailureC. Benefit of SuccessD. The Five Main Steps to Success(正确答案)Passage TwoThe drive from England and Scotland provides the traveler with many pleasant change s of scenery. As it is a fairly long journey, it is good to be able to travel with a friend who can take turns with you at the wheel.On the first night in Scotland a tourist may choose to putup at a hotel in the little town of Gallander. On the following day he can set out to see the various lakes in the neighborhood, and will be delighted with the wild and charming aspect of the countryside. When he returns to his hotel he will be glad to eat a “high tea”. This is a meal which in Scotland takes the place of tea and dinner. It consists of one big c ourse, which one wouldhave at dinner, followed by bread-and-butter, with jam, and some kind of cake or cakes; tea is drunk with the meal, which is taken at about six o’clock in the evening. One then has a light supper later in the evening.The next morning many tourists journey on to the west coast.The road winds and turns, but is not dangerous. The greatest hazard is the black-faced sheep:these animals are as active and fierce as goats, and frequently wander into the road. The t ourist may also see a herd of long haired Highlandcattle, which look cruel but are no more so than ordinary cattle.41. The passage mainly tells you . [单选题] *A . how to get to Scotland from EnglandB . how to spend the night in ScotlandC . what to enjoy in Scotland(正确答案)D. what to eat and drink during the journey in Scotland42.

A tourist may be glad to eat a Scottish meal when he returns to his hotel.D. A tourist may drink tea instead of a light supper late in the evening.(正确答案)44. What is the meaning of “hazard” (para.3) in the passage? [单选题] *A.Something which may threaten one’s life(正确答案)B.An animal which is black-faced and fierceC.Part of a road which winds and turnsD.A Scotsman one may come across during his journey45. What’s the journey like from Callender to the West Coast? [单选题] *A. Pleasant but tiringB. Difficult and troublesomeC. Long and tiringD. Neither difficult nor risky(正确答案)Passage ThreeAir travel is an everyday experience these days because it's so fast. But frequent longd istance flying can be very tiring and the traveler begins to feel his brain is in one country and his body is in another. In short, he hardly knows where he is.Tiredness after a long flight becomes stronger when we fly from east to west or vice ve rsa because we cross time zones(时区).Doctors say that air travelers should go straight to bed on arrival after crossing a numb er of time zones. They shouldn't work without rest. However. airline pilots can hardly be affected. In fact,they often live by their own watches,paying no attention to local time .They can even have breakfast at midnight if necessary.Businessmen,however,are not so lucky.After a long journey,they must either go straight to an important meeting or to their boss to give a report. Eve n so,there are still a lot of businessmen traveling by air.46. Why has air travel become a daily experience? Because it is ___. [单选题] *A. very cheapB. easy to getC. so fast(正确答案)D. clean and comfortable47.What does the author mean by"the traveler begins to feel his brain is...his body is in anot her "?He means__ [单选题] *A. the traveler goes madB.

The purpose of an application letter (求职信) is to help you to "sell" yourself. You should 21 the job you want clearly, and should tell what your abilities are and 22 you have done. It should be simple, personal and brief without leaving 23 any necessary facts.A 24 employer may want to know a number of important things. What are your qualifications? What achievements have you 25 ? And what are your aims? The 26 paragraph is perhaps the most important part. Try 27 your opening sentences to the needs or interests of the employer, not to your own needs or desires.28 clear about the kind of job for which your're now applying. College graduates 29 for their first positions often ask "What can I provide in a letter?" Employers want to know about your experience. Certainly, a beginner has 30 experience. The answer is that everything you 31 is experience.32 is important to write good strong closing words for your letter. Ask for an interview or give the possible employer something 33 to do or expect.

Each passage is followed by five questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer.Passage 1Culture shock is an occupational disease (职业病) for people who have been suddenly transplanted abroad.Culture shock is caused by the anxiety that results from losing all familiar signs and symbols of social intercourse. Those signs are as following: when to shake hands and what to say when meet people, when and how to give tips, how to make purchases, when to accept and refuse invitations, when to take statements seriously and when not. These signs, which may be words, gestures, facial expressions, or customs, are acquired by all of us in the course of growing up and as much a part of our culture as the language we speak or the beliefs we accept. All of us depend on hundreds of these signs for our peace of mind and day-to-day efficiency, but we do not carry most at the level of conscious awareness.Now when an individual enters a strange culture, all or most of these familiar signs are removed. No matter how broadminded or full of good will you may be a series of supports have been knocked from under you, followed by a feeling of frustration. When suffering from culture shock people first reject the environment which caused discomfort. The ways of the host country are bad because they make us feel bad. When foreigners in a strange land get together in complain about the host country its people, you can be sure that they are suffering from culture shock.36、 According to the passage, culture shock is ______.A. an occupational disease of foreign peopleB. may lead to very serious symptomsC. actually not a diseaseD. incurable37、 According to the passage, culture shock result from ______.A. the sudden change of social atmosphere and customsB. the sudden change of our daily habitsC. the sudden loss of our own signs and symbolsD. the discomfort that we feel when faced with a foreigner38、 Which one of the following may not be a symptom of culture shock?A. You don't know how to express your gratitude.B. You don't know how to greet other people.C. You suddenly forget what a word means.D. You don't understand why a foreigner shrugs.39、 According to the passage, how would a person who stays abroad most probably react when he is frustrated by the culture shock?A. He is most likely to refuse to absorb the strange environment at first.B. He is really to accept the change and adapt himself to the new environment.C. Although he takes the culture difference for granted, he still doesn't know how to do with it.D. He may begin to hate the people or things around him.40、 The main idea of this passage is that ______.A. culture shock is an occupational diseaseB. culture shock is caused by the anxiety of living in a strange cultureC. culture shock has peculiar symptomsD. it is very hard to cope with life in a new settingPassage 2Cheating: The income tax deadline (最后期限) approaches and some taxpayer's thoughts turn to it. Test time approaches and some students' thoughts turn to it."You want something you can't get by behaving within the rules, and you want it badly enough, you'll do it regardless of any guilt or deep regret and you're willing to run the risk of being caught." That's how Ladd Wheeler, psychology professor at the University of Rochester in New York, defines cheating.Many experts believe cheating is on the rise. "We're suffering a moral breakdown." Pinkard says, "we're seeing more of the kind of person who regards the world as a series of things to be dealt with. Whether to cheat depends on whether it's the person's interest." He does, however, see less cheating among the youngest students.Richard Dienabier, Psychology (心理学) professor at the University of Nebraska in Lincoln, believes that society's attitudes account for much of the increase in cheating."Twenty years ago, if a person cheated in college, society said: That is extremely serious, you will be dropped for a term if not kicked out permanently," he says, "nowadays, at the University of Nebraska, for example, it is the stated policy of the college of Arts and Sciences that if a student cheats on an exam, the student must receive an 'F' on what he cheated on. That's nothing. If you're going to flunk anyway, why not cheat?""Cheating is most likely in situations where the vital interests are high and the chances of getting caught are low." says social psychologist, Lynn Kahle of the University of Oregon in Eugene.41、 The passage centers on ______.A. convincing the reader that cheating is immoralB. discussing the reasons for cheatingC. describing how students cheat on examD. discussing how to control cheating42、 Cheating tends to occur when ______.A. one wants something badlyB. one can't get something in a right wayC. it is not very likely to be revealedD. a series of things has to be dealt with43、 Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. It is forgivable to cheat unless money is involved.B. There has been a quick increase in cheating.C. Most cheaters are college students.D. Cheaters do not feel guilty and regretful.44、 What can be inferred from the passage?A. Cheating is widespread because society is too tolerant.B. Cheating is the result of intense pressure.C. Cheating is cheating, whether on a test or on any other occasions.D. Cheating comes together with civilization.45、 The word "flunk" in paragraph 5 could best be replaced by which of the following?A. Fear.B. Fail.C. Be pleased.D. Succeed.Passage 3Sometimes you'll hear people say that you can't love others until you love yourself. Sometimes you'll hear people say that you can't expect someone else to love you until you love yourself. Either way, you've got to love yourself first and this can be tricky. Sure we all know that we're the people of our parents' eyes, and that our grandmas think we are great talents and our uncle Roberts think that we will go to the Olympics, but sometimes it's a lot harder to think such nice thoughts about ourselves. If you find that believing in yourself is a challenge, it is time you built a positive self-image and learn to love yourself.Self-image is your own mind's picture of yourself. This image includes the way you look, the way you act, the way you talk and the way you think. Interestingly, our self-images are often quite different from the images others hold about us. Unfortunately, most of these images are more negative than they should be. Thus changing the way you think about yourself is the key to changing your self-image and your whole world.The best way to defeat a passive self-image is to step back and decide to stress your successes. That is, make a list if you need to, but write down all of the great things you do everyday. Don't allow doubts to occur in it. It very well might be that you are experiencing a negative self-image because you can't move past one flaw or weakness that you see about yourself. Well, roll up your sleeves and make a change of it as your primary task. If you think you are silly because you aren't good at math, find a tutor. If you think you are weak because you can't run a mile, get to the track and practice. If you think you are dull because you don't wear the latest trends, buy a few new clothes.The best way to get rid of a negative self-image is to realize that your image is far from objective, and to actively convince yourself of your positive qualities. Changing the way you think and working on those you need to improve will go a long way towards promoting a positive self-image. When you can pat your self on the back, you'll know you're well on your way.46、 You need to build a positive self-image when you ______ .A. dare to challenge yourselfB. feel it hard to change yourselfC. are unconfident about yourselfD. have a high opinion of yourself47、 According to the passage, our self-images ______.A. have positive effectsB. are probably untrueC. are often changeableD. have different functions48、 How should you change your self-image according to the passage?A. Keep a different image of others.B. Make your life successful.C. Understand your own world.D. Change the way you think.49、 What is the passage mainly about?A. How to prepare for your success.B. How to face challenges in your life.C. How to build a positive self-image.D. How to develop your good qualities.50、 Who are the intended readers of the passage?A. Parents.B. Adolescents.C. Educators.D. People in general. Passage 4Every artist knows in his heart that he is saying something to the public. Not only does he want to say it well, but he wants it to be something which has not been said before. He hopes the public will listen and understa nd—he wants to teach them, and he wants them to learn from him.What visual artists like painters want to teach is easy to make out but difficult to explain, because painters translate their experiences into shapes and colors, not words. They seem to feel that a certain selection of shapes and colors, out of the countless billions possible, is exceptionally interesting for them and worth showing to us. Without their work we should never have noticed these particular shapes and colors, or have felt the delight which they brought to the artist.Most artists take their shapes and colors from the world of nature and from human bodies in motion and repose (安息); their choices indicate that these aspects of the world are worth looking at, that they contain beautiful sights. Contemporary artists might say that they merely choose subjects that provide an interesting pattern, that there is nothing more in it. Yet even they do not choose entirely without reference to the character of their subjects. If one painter chooses to paint a gangrenous (坏疽) leg and another a lake in moonlight, each of them is directing our attention to a certain aspect of the world. Each painter is telling us something, showing us something, emphasizing something—all of which means that, consciously or unconsciously, he is trying to teach us.51、 It is hard to explain what a painter is saying, because ______.A. most painters do not express themselves wellB. a painter uses unusual words and phrasesC. a painter uses shapes and colors instead of wordsD. many painters do not say anything52、 A painter chooses certain shapes and colors out of the countless billions possible because he believes they ______.A. are beautifulB. can bring delight to the publicC. are worth showing to the publicD. are particular53、 An artist's choice of shapes and colors indicates that he believes them to be ______.A. meaningful in themselvesB. merely beautifulC. a reflection of his experiencesD. worth looking at54、 Compared with a painter of unpleasant subjects, a painter who draws a lake in moonlight is ______.A. conveying more meaningB. pointing out different thingsC. more skilledD. communicating less55、 Implied but not stated: ______.A. A painting is more easily understood than a symphonyB. Art is merely the arranging of shape and colorC. Every artist tries to say something to the publicD. One must look beyond shape and color to find what the artist is sayingⅣ．Writing56、Directions: For this part, you are required to write a composition on the topic: Take Job or Continue Graduate Education.

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. Choose the correct answer and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. Passage OneHow much living space does a person need? What happens when his space requirements are not adequately met? Sociologists and psychologists are conducting experiments on rats to try to determine the effect of overcrowded conditions on man. Recent studies haveshown that the behavior of rats is greatly affected by space. If rats have adequate living space, they eat well, sleep well, and reproduce well. However, if their living conditions become too crowded, their behavior patterns and even their health perceptibly change. They cannot sleep or eat well, and signs of fear and tension become obvious. The more crowded they are, the more they tend to bite each other and even kill each other. Thus for rats, population and violence are directly related. Is this a natural law for human society as well? Is adequate space not only desirable, but also essential for human survival?51. This passage is mainly about ______.A) living space and behaviorB) population and living conditionsC) interesting experiments on ratsD) a natural law for human society52. What is the purpose of theexperiments described in the passage?A) To determine how much living space a rat needs.B) To see what happens when rats live in a limited space.C) To know the likely effects of inadequate living space on human beings.D) To find out the relationship between population and living conditions.53. How would rats behave when their living conditions become too crowded? A) They eat a lot and become friendly to others.B) They sleep little and act quite peacefully.C) They eat little but sleep soundly.D) They become nervous and tend to be war-like.54. The passage suggests that overcrowded conditions ______.A) are directly related with populationB) may cause an increase in violenceC) may lead to high birth rateD) may bring about pollution problems Passage TwoMany people hope that the whole world will one day speak a common language. Over the Years, people have made up new languages with this aim. At least six hundred languages have been developed in the search for a language which all human beings would be able to speak. The most famous one, Esperanto ( 世界语) , was the idea of Ludwig Zamenhof, a doctor in Warsaw. He published a book about his new language in 1887.To encourage people to learn the Language, he made it as simple as possible. Esperanto has never been accepted as an official world language, but it has been suggested as an auxiliary language. By 1950 it had been taught to one and a half million speakers, and it was spoken in six hundred schools. Today Esperanto isspoken by about eight million people, and more than one hundred newspapers and magazines in the language are published regularly throughout the world. Thousands of books have been written in Esperanto, including those translated from other languages.Today the need for a new auxiliary language like Esperanto seems less obvious. Throughout this century English has grown more and more important. It has become a second language for many millions of people. The fact that more are learning English shows that the use of English is still growing worldwide. No one would deny the usefulness of world language, but not many people think that Esperanto is likely to play such a role. 55. Over the years, people have made up new languages in the hope that ______. A) all people will be able to speak a common languageB) people will learn a foreign language betterC) people can understand each other betterD) people will be able to speak several languages56. Zamenhof made the language as simple as possible because ______.A) he wanted people to learn it quicklyB) he hoped more and more people would be willing to learn itC) he wanted everyone to speak it without any difficultyD) he hoped it would be accepted as an official world language57. Which of the following is NOT true of English?A) It is widely taught in schools.B) It has become a second language for many millions of people.C) Many books have been written in English.D) It is less popular than Esperanto.58. What is the best title of the passage?A) The language made by one man.B) A talk about the world language.C) English as a second language for everyone.D) Esperanto—a better language than English.Passage ThreeAfter the violent earthquake that shook Los Angeles in 1994, earthquake scientists had news to report: The damage and death toll could have been much worse.More than 60 people died in this earthquake. By comparison, an earthquake of similar intensity that shook America in 1988 claimed 25 ,000 victims.Injuries and deaths were relatively less in Los Angeles because the quake occurred at 4:31 a. m. on a holiday, when traffic was light on the city’s highways. In addition, changes made to the construction codes in Los Angeles during the last 20 years havestrengthened the city ’ s buildings and highways, making them more resistant to quakes.Despite the good news, civil engineers aren’t resting on their successes. Pinned to their drawing boards are blueprints for improved quake - resistant buildings. The new designs should offer even greater security to cities where earthquakes often take place.In the past, making structures quake - resistant meant firm yet flexible materials, such as steel and wood, that bend without breaking. Later, people tried to lift a building off its foundation, and insert rubber and steel between the building and its foundation to reduce the impact of ground vibrations. The most recent designs give buildings brains as well as concrete and steel supports. Called smart buildings, the structures respond like living organisms to an earthquake’s vibrations.When the ground shakes and the building tips forward, the computer would force the building to shift in the opposite direction. The new smart structures could be very expensive to build. However, they would save many lives and would be less likely to be damaged during earthquakes.59. One reason why the loss of lives in the Los Angeles earthquake was comparatively low was that ______.A) new computers had been installed in the buildingsB) it occurred in the residential areas rather than on the highwaysC) large numbers of Los Angeles residents had gone for a holidayD) improvements had been made in the construction of buildings and highways 60. The function of the computer mentioned in the passage is to ______. A) counterbalance an earthquake’s action on the buildingB) predict the coming of an earthquake with accuracyC) help strengthen the foundation of the buildingD) measure the impact of an earthquake’ s vibrations61. It can be inferred from the passage that in minimizing the damage caused by earthquakes attention should be focused on ______.A) the increasing use of rubber and steel in capital constructionB) the development of flexible building materialsC) the reduction of the impact of ground vibrationsD) early forecasts of earthquakes62. The main purpose of this passage is mostly to______.A) compare the consequences of the earthquakes that occurred in the U. S.B) encourage civil engineers to makeextensive use of computersC) outline the history of the development of quake - resistant building materialsD) report new developments in constructing quake - resistant building Section BDirections; Match the Chinese sentences in the left column with the English in the right column, mark the corresponding letter on the Answer with a single linePart IV Translation Section A Directions: Put the following sentences into Chinese. All of them are taken from the passages you have just read.71.

He’d need a fan or a strong wind to help him putthem out.While many people in China will remember Confucius on his special day, few people in the United States will give him a passing thought, because it’s nothing personal. Most Americans don’t even remember the birthdays of their own national heroes.But this doesn’t mean that Americans don’t care about Confucius. In many ways he hasbecome a bridge that foreigners muse cross if they want to reach a deeper understanding of China.In the past two decades, the Chinese Study Programs have gained large popularity in Western universities. More recently, the Chinese government has set up Confucius Institutes in more than 80 countries. These schools teach both Chinese language and culture. The main courses of Chinese culture usually include Chinese art, history and philosophy ( 哲学). Some social scientists suggest that Westerners should take advantage of the ancient Chinese wisdomto make up for the drawbacks (缺陷) of Western philosophy. Students in the United States, atthe same time, are racing to learn Chinese. Businessmen who hope to make money in China are reading books about Confucius to understand their Chinese customers.Today China attracts the West more than ever, and more teachers are needed to introduce Confucius and Chinese culture to the West.66.
