Choose the one that is most suitable and mark your answer by blackening the corresponding letter on ANSWER SHEET Ⅰ.It was a quarter past nine as Marie hurried into the office building where she was going to work. Her bus moved slowly along through 51 morning traffic, making her a few minutes late for her very first job. She decided to start out half an hour earlier the next day.Once inside the hall she had to stand at the elevators and wait several minutes 52 she could get on one to go to the sixth floor. When she finally reached the office marked "King Enterprises, '‘she knocked at the door nervously and waited. There was no answer. She knocked again, but still there was no reply. 53 inside the next office, she could hear the sound of voices, so she opened the door and went in.Although she was sure it was the same office she had been in two weeks before when she had had the interview with Mr. King, it looked quite difterent now. In fact, it 54 looked like an office at all. The employees were just standing around 55 At the far end of the room, somebody 56 have just told a good joke, she thought, because there was a loud burst of laughter as she came in. For a moment she had thought they were laughing at her.Then one of the men looked at his watch, 57 his hands and said something to the others.Quickly they all went to their desks and, in a matter of seconds, everyone was hard at work. No one paid any, attention to Marie. Finally she went up to the man who was sitting at the desk nearest to the door and explained that this was her first day in the office. Hardly 58 from his work, he told her to have a seat and wait for Mr. King, who would arrive 59 . Then Marie realized that the day's work in the office began just before Mr. King arrived. Later she found out that he lived in Connecticut and came into Manhattan on the 60 train every morning, arriving in the office at 9: 35 a. m. , so that his staff knew exactly when to start working.51.

Reading Comprehension ( 60 points )Directions: There are four reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by five questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose one best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on ANSWER SHEET Ⅰ.Passage OneIt was a case of emergency. The four-year-old girl awoke and smelled smoke. She couldn’t wake her mother, so she dialed "zero" An operator immediately called the fire department. Help was sent, and a tragedy avoided.Days before this emergency, the mother had taught her child how to telephone for help. Children as young as two and one-half years old can be taught to use the phone in emergency situations. Here are some points.Memorizing certain facts is important. Teach your children their names, and the section of town where you live. Try to keep what they learn within their abilities. Simple information, learned well, is better than difficult information only partly learned.Be sure your children know how to use the telephone. They should be taught to dial "zero" for the operator, at the very least. And they should be taught to dial "911" if it is used in your town.Practice over a period of several days. Over-learning is necessary so the child can act automatically in case of emergency.If you would like a booklet giving instructions on calling for help, write Telephone For Help, BOX 99, Bowling Green Station, New York, NY 10004.61. From this passage, why is it a good idea for children to learn how to use the telephone?A. Children have fun dialing.B. Emergencies happen without warning.C. Children can wake their parents.D. Dialing can help children with their math study.62. Based on this passage, over-learning is good because ______.A. simple information is usedB. children should know their namesC. it helps children act automaticallyD. difficult information is only partly learned63. Paragraph 4 talks about dialing "911". This number is probably ______.A. the operatorB. an emergency numberC. a practice number for childrenD. used to keep children calm64. One thing the passage does NOT tell you to do is ______.A. call your neighborB. practice several timesC. teach children how to use the telephoneD. have children memorize some simple facts65. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Give instructions on calling for help.B. Partly-learned information is useless.C. Teach children how to deal with emergencies.D. Keep what children learn within their abilities.Passage TwoI was only eight years old when the Second World War ended, but I can still remember something about the victory celebrations in the small town where I lived on the day when the war in Europe ended. We had not suffered much from the war there. But both at home and at school I had become accustomed to the phrases "bef6re the war" and "when the war’s over". "Before the war", apparently, things had been better, though I was too yo ung to understand why, except that there had been no bombs then, and people had eaten things like ice-cream and bananas, which I had only heard of. When the war was over we would go back to London, but this meant little to me. I did not remember what London was like.What I remember now about VE ( Victory in Europe) Day was the May evening. After dinner I said I wanted to see the bonfire (大火堆), so when it got dark my father took me to the end of the street. The bonfire was very high, and somehow people had collected some old clothes to dress the unmistakable figure with the moustache (胡子) they had to put on top of it. Just as we arrived, they set light to it. The flames rose and soon swallowed the "guy". Everyone was cheering and shouting, and an old woman came out of her house with two chairs and threw them on the fire to keep it going.I stood beside my father until the fire started to go down, not knowing what to say. He said nothing, either. He had fought in the First World War and may have been remembering the end of that At last he said, "Well, that's it, son. Let's hope that this time it really will be the last one."66. Where did the author live before the Second World War?A. In London.B. In a small town.C. In Europe.D. In the countryside.67. What kind of food had the author certainly not tasted during the war?A. Bread.B. Butter.C. Meat.D. Ice cream and bananas.68. The unmistakable figure with the moustache most probably represents ______.A. those who died in the warB. those who had wonC. an imaginary figureD. the most hated person in the war-Hitler69. Which of the following statements is true?A. The author's father built a bonfire on VE Day.B. The author's father had fought in the First World. War.C. The author's father had fought in the Second World War.D. The author's father threw two chairs on the fire to keep it going.70. By saying "Let's hope that this time it really will be the last one", the father meant that ______.A. he wished people had not built the bonfireB. he hoped people would not build any more bonfiresC. he hoped there would be no more wars in the worldD. he wished the Second World War had not happenedPassage ThreeAt the first sight the planet Mars does not appear very welcome to any kind of life. It has very little oxygen and water; the temperature at night is below -50℃and winds of 100 miles per hour cause severe dust storms. However, the surface of the planet seems to show that water flowed across it some time in the past, and it is believed that there is enough ice at the poles to cover the planet with water if it melts. Although there is no life on the Mars now, some scientists think that there may have been some form of life long time ago. At that time, the planet had active volcanoes;the atmosphere was thicker and warmer; and there was water. In fact, in some ways the Mars may have been similar to the Earth, where life exists.Some people believe that the Mars could support life in the future if the right conditions were produced. The first step would be to warm the planet using certain gases which trap the Sun’s heat in the planet's atmosphere. With warmth, water and carbon dioxide (二氧化碳), simple plants could begin to grow, These plants could slowly make the Mars more suitable for living. It is estimated that the whole process might take between 100,000 and 200,000 years. In the meantime, people could begin to live on the planet in special closed environments. They would provide a lot of useful information about conditions on the Mars and the problems connected with living there.71. Some scientists think there may have been life on the Mars in the past because ______.A. there is no life there nowB. there is a large amount of water at the polesC. the Mars may be able to support life in the futureD. conditions may have been similar to those on the Earth72. There could be life on the Mars in the future if ______.A. it supported life in the pastB. certain gases are used to cool the planetC. the atmosphere can be heated enough to grow simple plantsD. the planet’s volcanoes become as active as they were in the past73. People may be able to live on the Mars ______.A. within the next 200,000 yearsB. only 200,000 years from nowC. only 150,000 years from nowD. as soon as the planet becomes cool enough74. The author's attitude towards the possibility of life on the Mars in the future isA. doubtfulB. positiveC. negativeD. uninterested75. Which is the best title for this passage?A. The Possibility of Life on the MarsB. Future Conditions on the MarsC. The Mars and the EarthD. A Study of the Climate of the MarsPassage FourIt is physically impossible for a wall-educated intellectual, or a brave man to make money the chief object of his thoughts; as physically impossible as it is for him to make his dinner the principal object of them. All healthy people like their dinner, but their dinner is not the main object of their lives. So all healthy-minded people like making money--ought to like it and to enjoy the satisfaction of winning it; but the main object of their lives is not money; it is something better than money.A good soldier, for instance, mainly wishes to do his fighting well. He is glad of his pay--very properly so, and just complains when you keep him ten months without it; still, his main opinion of life is to win battles, not to be paid for winning them.So of doctors. They like fees no doubt--ought to like them; yet if they are brave and well educated, the entire object of their lives is not fees. They would rather cure their patient and lose their fees than kill him and get it. And so with all other brave and rightly trained men; their work is first, their fees second, very important always, but still second.76. The main idea of this passage is that ______.A. money matters more than workB. money is not necessary at allC. money is as important as workD. money comes second to work in importance77. The passage implies that healthy-minded people best enjoy ______.A. the happiness of accomplishing their workB. the satisfaction of making moneyC. the pleasure of having their dinnerD. the fun of fighting battles78. According to the author, a good soldier ______.A. dislikes his payB. ignores his payC. ought to enjoy his payD. doesn’t complain when kept without pay for months79. The author believes that a good doctorA. makes money the entire object of his lifeB. places curing his patient above allC. doesn't like making moneyD. enjoys his work only80. Which of the following is the chief technique used by the author to support his argument7A. Sharp contrastB. Logical reasoningC. Detailed descriptionD. Illustration with examplesⅤ. Writing ( 20 points )Directions: For this part, you are supposed to write a letter of invitation in about 80 words based on the following situation. Remember to write it clearly on ANSWER SHEET II.写信邀请朋友参加你的生日聚会。

You should choose the right answer that best fits into the passage.Scientists used to explore 31 the surface of the ocean. Now they 32 below the surface，too. They want to know about the ocean water and the 33 and animal life 34 in the ocean.In 1934 the scientist William Beebe dived 3，000 feet below the surface in a hollow steel ball. In 1935 Auguste Picard dived 10，330 feet. In 1960 his son Jean dived to a 35 of 35，800 feet.All these early dives were deep. But the divers could not stay down for very long. They had to 36 the surface after a few seconds. Scientists needed to stay down longer to study life below the surface. 37 ，they succeeded. Cousteau，a Frenchman，was able to 38 down to a depth of 36 feet for one month and to a depth of 90 feet for a week.Now scientists are developing even 39 equipment. With this new equipment，men can stay 40 the surface for days or 41 weeks. In 1962 Consteau 42 a research station 35 feet below the surface. Then in 1964 he set up another station on the ocean floor of the Red Sea.This was the first undersea station to operate 43 help from the surface.Many countries are now studying undersea 44 . The Soviet Union has an undersea laboratory in the Crimean Sea. The United States has a laboratory 50 feet 45 on the ocean floor 46 the Virgin Islands. In 1970 five men lived there for two weeks. Then a 47 of five women scientists stayed in the laboratory. 48 came other teams of men. All were there to explore the ocean depths and 49 plans for the use of its resources. Scientists hope to find enough 50 ，vegetable，and animal wealth there to provide food for the whole world.31. A. in B. to C. On D. under32. A. explore B. are exploring C. explored D. will explore33.

Each passage is followed by some questions orunfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D, you should decide the best choice.Passage 1With a tremendous roar from its rocket engine，the satellite is sent up into the sky. Minutes later，at an altitude of 300 miles，this tiny electronic moon begins to orbit about the earth. Its radio begins to transmit a staggering amount of information about the satellite’s orbital path，the amount of radiation it detects，and the presence of meteorites. Information of all kinds races back to the earth. No human being could possibly copy down all these facts，much less remember and organize them. But an electronic computer can.The marvel of the machine age，the electronic computer has been in use only since 1946. It can do simple computations—add，subtract，multiply，and divide—with lightning speed and perfect accuracy. It can multiply two 10digit numbers in 1／1，000 second，a problem that would take an average person five minutes to do with pencil and paper. Some computers can work 500，000 times faster than any person can.Once it is given a program，that is，a carefully worked out set of instructions devised by a technician trained in computer language，a computer can gather a wide range of information for many purposes. For the scientist it can get information from outer space or from the depths of the ocean. In business and industry the computer prepares factory inventories，keeps track of sales trends and production needs，mails dividend checks，and makes out company payrolls. It can keep bank accounts up to date and make out electric bills. If you are planning a trip by plane，the computer will find out what route to take and what space is available.51. Why does the author regard the electronic computer as the marvel of the machine age?A. Because electronic computers are rare.B. Because people know little about electronic computers.C. Because electronic computers can do much more kinds of work that human beings can’t.D. Because electronic computers have been widely suspected.52. Electronic computers were given the name in the beginning just for the simple reason that_______ .A. they could do computationsB. they could work much faster than human beingsC. they looked like an abacusD. they could remember data quickly53. According to the passage，which of the following is NOT true?A. Computers began to be used in 1946.B. Computers can add，subtract，multiply and divide.C. Computers were widely used during World War Ⅱ.D. No human being can work as fast as a computer.54. A computer can calculate_______.A. with lightning speedB. accuratelyC. with a speed 500，000 times faster than a personD. all above55. In the first sentence of last paragraph，“program” would probably mean_______.A. a performanceB. a showC. a worked out set of instructionsD. a TV playPassage 2On the old time farm in America there were chickens and turkeys. There were also cows，pigs，and other livestock. But there were very few machines. Most of the work was done by the entire farm family with the h elp of a “hired” man. Sometimes extra labourers were needed in busy seasons. Horses provided 79 percent of the power used，human labor 15 percent，and machines only 6 percent.Today all that has changed. On many modern farms machines now supply 96 percent of the power，human labor 3 percent，and horses 1 percent. Modern farms are enterprising businesses which keep only the livestock that can pay its way. The children go to school by bus every morning，the parents work on the farm or in the house，and hired help is seldom needed. Their work has been replaced by a whole army of farm machines.Farmers in the machine age also use the new fertilizers，new sprays，new feeds，new hybrid seeds，and other helps developed by farm sciences. As a result the farmers are able to produce more food with less labour. This means fewer but larger farms and fewer but moreprosperous farmers.56. In old days，most of the work on a farm was done by_______.A. all the farm familyB. livestockC. farm machinesD. both A and B57. From the first paragraph，we learn that in old days the most important farming power was____.A. LivestockB. farmersC. MachinesD. extra laborers58. On today’s farms，the chief reason why livestock is still raised would probably be____.A. that farmers conventions are difficult to be given upB. that farmers want to gain more profitC. that farmers have to do soD. that farmers work has been replaced by machines59. On modern farms，farmers need mostly all the followings EXCEPT_______.A. farm scienceB. seedsC. FertilizersD. hard work60. In the last sentence of Paragraph 3，“fewer but larger farms and fewer but more prosperous farmers” means_______.A. hired help is seldom neededB. productivity on the farms has been raised greatlyC. productivity on the farms has fallen sharplyD. more food is never neededPassage 3City traffic jam—one of the least wanted effects of the motor vehicle—is something with which we’re all familiar and for which most of us have an answer. But which solution is best?Some people suggest for better roads，others for cars to be banned(禁止) from city centers and yet others say better public transport would attract drivers from their lonely and boring journeys.But the important question is what natural power creates a big city center. We are，after all，in an age of electronic communication; our big shopping areas have moved out of city centers，and our living areas moved out of them long ago.Yet some force causes offices and service industries related to them to gather in London or New York or Tokyo. This suggests that far from the problems of a crowded environment forcing companies and people to move out，there is a critical (重大的) size beyond which more companies are attracted to move in. Nobody seems to know why，yet the answer is important to the way traffic jam is dealt with.61. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage as the cause of the traffic problem?A. The poor public transport.B. The over concentration of shopping centers.C. The great number of cars in the city centers.D. The bad road conditions.62. According to the passage，offices and their associated service industries move to big cities because of_______.A. the convenience of communicationB. the gathering of companiesC. some unknown forceD. the convenience of shopping63. The word “This”(Line 2，Para.4) refers to_______.A. some forceB. traffic jamC. the force that causes offices to move in or outD. the fact that companies gather in big cities64. This passage is most likely taken from_______.A. a novelB. a TV playC. an instructionD. a news report65. The topic of this passage would probably be_______.A. Best Answer to Traffic ProblemB. The Banning of Cars in the City CenterC. The Formation of City CenterD. Searching for Ways to Solve Traffic ProblemPassage 4Mrs. Cox teaches English in a large high school located in the inner area of a big city on the West Coast. Ever since she was a young girl，Mrs. Cox had wanted to become a teacher. She has taught eight years now and hasn’t changed her mind.After she graduated from high school，Mrs. Cox went on to college. Four years later，she received her bachelor’s degree (B.A.) in English and her teaching certificate. Then she was qualified to teach in the secondary schools of her state. In the summers，Mrs. Cox takes more classes. Someday she hopes to get a master’s degree (M.A.).With an M.A.，she will receive a higher salary.The school day at Mrs. Cox’s high school，like that in many high schools in the United States，is divided into six periods of one hour each. Mrs. Cox must teach five of these six periods. During her free period，which for her is from 2 to 3 p.m.，Mrs. Cox must meet with parents，order supplies，make out examinations，check assignments，and take care of many other things. In short，her free period isn’t really free at all. Mrs. Cox works steadily from the time she arrives at school in the morning until the time she leaves for home late in the afternoon.66. Mrs. Cox wants to be a teacher because_______.A. she likes teachingB. she is a young girlC. she has many problems to deal withD. she doesn’t mind what she is doing67. From paragraph two，we can infer_______.A. Mrs. Cox has received a teaching certificateB. Mrs. Cox likes teaching very muchC. Mrs. Cox takes more classesD. Mrs. Cox is a qualified teacher68. She will receive a higher salary if_______.A. she gets a master’s degreeB. she takes more classesC. she has studies normal teachingD. she gets a bachelor’s degree69.

Her has moved slowly along through 51 morning traffic, making her a few minutes late for her very first job She decided to start out half an hour earlier the next day.Once inside the hall she had to stand at the elevators and wait several minutes 52 she could get on one to go to the sixth floor. When she finally reached the office marked " King Enterprises," she knocked at the door nervously and waited There was no answer. She knocked again, but still there was no reply.53 inside the next office, she could hear the sound of voices. so she opened the door and went in.Although she was sure it was the same office she had been in two weeks before when she had had the interview with Mr. King, it looked quite different now. In fact. it 54 looked like an office at all. The employees were just standing around 55 . At the far end of the room, somebody56 have just told a good joke, she thought, because there was a loud burst of laughter as she came in. For a moment she had thought they were laughing at her.Then one of the men looked at his watch,57 his hands and said something to the others.Quickly they all went to their desks and, in a matter of seconds, everyone was hard at work. No one paid any, attention to Marie. Finally she went up to the man who was sitting at the desk nearest to the door and explained that this was her first day in the office. Hardly _ 58 from his work, he told her to have a seat and wait for Mr King, who would arrive 59. Then Marie realized that the day' s work in the office began just before Mr. King arrived.

Reading Comprehension ( 60 points)Directions: There are four reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by five questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose one best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on ANSWER SHEET I.Passage OneIt was a case of emergency. The four-year-old girl awoke and smelled smoke. She couldn’t wake her mother, so she dialed "zero" An operator immediately called the fire department. Help was sent. and a tragedy avoidedDays before this emergency, the mother had taught her child how to telephone for help. Children as young as two and one-half years old can be taught to use the phone in emergencysituations. Here are some points.. Memorizing certain facts is important. Teach your children their names, and the section of town where you live. Try to keep what they learn within their abilities. Simple information. Learned well. is better than difficult information only partly learned.. Be sure your children know how to use the telephone. They should be taught to dial "zero" for the operator, at the very least. And they should be taught to dial "911" if it is used in your town. Practice over a period of several days. Over-learning is necessary so the child can act automatically in case of emergency.. If you would like a booklet giving instructions on calling for help, write Telephone For Help, Box 99, Bowling Green Station, New York, NY 10004.61. From this passage, why is it a good idea for children to learn how to use the telephone?A. Children have fun dialing.B. Emergencies happen without warning.C. Children can wake their parents.D. Dialing can help children with their math study.62.

Paragraph 4 talks about dialing "911". This number is probably ___,A. the operatorB. an emergency numberC. a practice number for childrenD. used to keep children calm64. One thing the passage does NOT tell you to do is_______.A. call your neighborB. practice several timesC. teach children how to use the telephoneD. have children memorize some simple facts65. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Give instructions on calling for help.B. Partly-learned information is useless.C. Teach children how IQ deal with emergencies.D.

We had not suffered much from the war there. But both at home and at school I had be-come accustomed to the phrases " before the war" and "when the war' s over". 'Before the war" .apparently. things had been better, though I was too young to understand why, except that there had been no bombs then, and people had eaten things like ice-cream and bananas. which I had only heard of. When the war was over we would go back to London. but this meant 1iide to me. I did not remember what London was like.What I remember now about VE (Victory in Europe) Day was the May evening. After dinner I said I wanted to see the bonfire (大火堆) . so when it got dark my father took me to the end of the street. The bonfire was ver7 high. and somehow people had collected some old clothes to dress the unmistakable figure with the moustache (胡子) they had to put on top of it. Just as we arrived. They set light to it. The flames rose and soon swallowed the "guy". Everyone was cheering and shouting, and an old woman came out of her house with two chairs and threw them on the fire to keep it going. I stood beside my father until the fire started to go down. not knowing what to say. He said nothing, either. He had fought in the First World War and may have been remembering the end of that. At last he said. "Well. that' s it. son. Let' s hope that this time it really will be the last one. "66.Where did the author live before the Second World War? _,A. In London.B. In a small town.C. in Europe.D. In the countryside.67. What kind of food had the author certainly not tasted during the war? _,A. Bread.B. Butter.C. Meat.D. Ice cream and bananas.68.

The author' s farther had fought in the Second World War.D. The author' s father threw two chairs on the fire to keep it going.70.

IL has very little oxygen and water; the temperature at night is below -50'C and winds of 100 miles per hour cause severe dust storms. However . the surface of the planet seems to show that water flowed across it some time in the past, and it is believed that there ia enough ice at the poles to cover the planet with water if it melts. Although there is no life on the Mars now, some scientists think that there may have been some form of life long time ago. At that time, the planet had active volcanoes; the atmosphere was thicker and warmer; and there was water. In fact, in some ways the Mars may have been similar to the Earth, where life exists.Some people believe that the Mars could support 1ife in the future if the right conditions were produced. The first step would be to warm the planet using certain gases which trap the Sun's heat in the planet's atmosphere. With warmth, water and carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) , simple plants could begin to grow. These plants could slowly make the Mars more suitable for living. it is estimated that the whole process might take between 100,000 and 200,000 years. In the meantime. people could been to live on the planet in special closed environments. They would provide a lot of useful information about conditions on the Mars and the problems connected with 1iving there.71. Some scientists think there may have been life on the Mars in the past because _ .A. there is no life there nowB. there is a large amount of water at the polesC. the Mars may be able LO support life in the futureD. conditions may have been similar to those on the Earth72. There could be life on the Mars in the future if _____A. it supported life in the pastB. certain gases are used to cool the planetC. the atmosphere can he heated enough to grow simple plantsD. the planet' s volcanoes become as active as they were in the past73.

The author's attitude towards the possibility of 1ife on the Mars in the future is________A. doubtfulB. positiveC. negativeD. uninterested75. Which is the best title for this passage?A. The Possibility of Life on the MarsB. Future Conditions on the MarsC. The Mars and the EarthD. A Study of the Climate of the MarsPassage FourIt is physically impossible for a well-educated intellectual. or a brave man to make money the chief object of his thoughts ; as physically impossible as it is for him to make his dinner the principal object of them. All healthy people like their dinner, but their dinner is not the main object of their lives. So all healthy-minded people like making money-ought to like it and to enjoy the satisfaction of winning it; but the main object of their lives is not money; it is something betterthan money.A good soldier, for instance, mainly wishes to do his fighting well. He is glad of his pay-very properly so, and just complains when you keep him ten months without it; still. his main opinion of life is to win battles, not to be paid for winning them.So of doctors They like fee9 no doubt-ought to like them; yet if they are brave and well educated. the entire object of their lives is not fees. They would rather cure their patient and lose their fees than kill him and get it. And so with all other brave and rightly trained men ; their work is first, their fees second, very important always. but still second.76. The main idea of this passage is that______ .A. money matters more than workB. money is not necessary at allC. money is as important as workD. money comes second to work in importance77. The passage implies that healthy-minded people best enjoyA. the happiness of accomplishing their workB. the satisfaction of making moneyC. the pleasure of having their dinnerD. the fun of fighting battles78. According to the author, a good soldier ..A. dislikes his payB. ignores his payC. ought to enjoy his payD. doesn't complain when kept without pay for months79. The author believes that a good doctor .A. makes money the entire object of his lifeB. places curing his patient above allC. doesn't like making moneyD. enjoys his work only80. Which of the following is the chief technique used by the author to support his argument?A Sharp contrast B. Logical reasoningC. Detailed descriptionD. Illustration with examplesⅤ.Writing (20 points)Directions: For this part, you are supposed to write a Letter of invitation in about 80 words based on the following situation.

You should choose the mostappropriate answer and write the letter in the corresponding space on theAnswer Sheet.Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.For thousands of years, people have looked up at the night sky and looked at the moon. They wondered what the moon was made of. They wanted to know how big it was and how far away it was. One of the most interesting questions was “Where did the moon come from?” No one knew for sure. Scientists developed many different theories, or guesses, but they could not prove that their ideas were correct.Then, between 1969 and 1972, the United States sent astronauts to the moon. They studied the moon and returned to the earth with rock samples. Scientists have studied these pieces of rock, the moon’s movements, and information about the moon and the earth. They can finally answer questions about the origin of the moon. Today most scientists believe that the moon formed from the earth. They think that a large object hit the earth early in history. Perhaps the object was as big as Mars. When the object hit the earth, huge pieces of the earth broke off. These pieces then moved around the earth. After a brief time, the pieces came together and formed the moon.This “impact(撞击) theory” exposes many facts about the earth and the moon. For example, the moon is very dry because the impact created so much heat that it dried up all the water. The earth has iron in its center. This is because the moonformed from lighter materials that make up the outer part of the earth. Finally, the earth and the moon are almost of the same age: the earth is about 4.5 billion years old, while the moon is about 4.4 billion years old.No one can prove that something really happened billions of years ago. In the future, new information will either support this theory or show that it is wrong. For now, scientists accept the impact theory because it explains what we know today about the earth and the moon.16. From the first paragraph we know that when people looked at the moon they ____.A. wished to travel to itB. enjoyed its beauty very muchC. wanted to know more about itD. developed many theories about it17. Astronauts are people who _____.A. collect rock samplesB. are sent to work in spaceC. are interested in the moonD. study the structure of the moon18. We can infer from the second paragraph that ____.A. answers to the origin of the moon have been found out at lastB. scientists are eager to send more astronauts to spaceC. technology help scientists understand the universe more and betterD. astronauts could not return to the earth without the help of scientists19. It is believed by most scientists that ______.A. the moon was hit by an object as large as MarsB. the moon formed from pieces of rock from MarsC. the pieces from Mars came together to form the earthD. the moon is made up of materials similar to those of the earth20. The “impact theory” sounds reasonable because ____.A. scientists have found what happened billions of years agoB. it is based on the newly gathered information about MarsC. it can answer many questions raised about the moon and the earthD. astronauts believe that the moon and the earth are of the same ageQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.I was 15 when I walked into McCarley’s Bookstore in Ashland, Ore., and began scanning titles on the shelves. The man behind the counter, Mac McCarley, asked if I’d like a job. I needed to start saving for college, so I said yes.I worked after school and during summers for minimum wage, and the job helped pay for my freshman year of college. I would work many other jobs: I breed(煮) coffee in the student union during college, was a hotel maid and even made mapsfor the U.S. Forest Service. But selling books was one of the most satisfying.One day a woman asked me for books on cancer. She seemed fearful. I showed her virtually everything we had in stock and found other books we could order. She left the store less apprehensive, and I’ve always remembered the pride I felt in having helped her.Years later, as a television reporter in Los Angeles, I heard about an immigrant child who was born with his thumb attached, weblike, to the rest of his hand. His family could not afford corrective surgery, and the boy lived in shame, hiding his hand in his pocket.I persuaded my boss to let me do the story. After my story was broadcast, a doctor and a nurse called, offering to perform the surgery for free. I visited the boy in the recovery room after the operation. The first thing he did was hold up his repaired hand and say, “Thank you.” I felt an overwhelming(巨大的) sense of reward. At McCarley’s Bookstore, I always sensed I was working for the customers, not the store. Today it’s the same.

Though she worked for certain companies and got paid by themQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.One form of driver assistance that is sure to call one’s attention is intelligent speed adaptation (ISA) ---- a technology for forcing a driver to observe the speed limit. This works by building into the car a digital map marked with local speed restrictions. The addition of GPS (global positioning system) navigation tells the car what the maximum speed on any given stretch of road should be. Cars are hten slowed down, or prevented from accelerating, whenever they are at or above the speed limit. One way to do this is to starve the engine of fuel. Another is to add a measure of play to the accelerator pedal (油门). A third is to make the accelerator harder to push down. In future drive-by-wire vehicles, the software would refuse request from the accelerator pedal when above the speed limit.However, people have different opinions as far as ISA is concerned. Whatever their opinions are, the main justification for ISA is likely to be the high cost of speeding. Studies suggest that ISA could reduce the number of accidents by as much as 40%, and the number of fatal accidents by nearly 60%. It could also improve fuel efficiency, remove the need for enforcing speed limits with cameras and policemen, and reduce the costs of insurance.Trials of ISA systems have already been carried out in Sweden, Denmark, the Netherlands and Britain, and more are planned in Belgium and France. Although resistance is expected from drivers as well as from motor manufacturers, ISA could be introduced gradually, first with new cars and later as retro-fitting(改装) to the remaining old cars --- rather as seatbelts were introduced a generation ago. The trials show that a surprisingly large proportion of people come to accept ISA after they have lived with it for a while ----- again, much like the experience with seatbelts.26. According to the first paragraph the highest allowed speed of a car is to be determined by _____.A. the acceleratorB. GPSC. a digital mapD. the driver27. One of the measures to keep a car within the speed limit is ______.A. to add less fuel to the engineB. to limit the use of acceleratorC. to push down the accelerator pedalD. to remove the pedal from accelerator28. One of the major reasons for having ISA fixed in a car is to ______A. replace policemen with a new deviceB. warn drivers of possible accidentsC. have traffic accidents greatly reducedD. introduce fuel-efficient equipment29. According to the passage, ISA systems ______A. are still in their testing periodB. remain a theory to be testedC. have found wide applications in the auto industryD. have been a popular invention among motor makers30. The author compares ISA with seatbelts to show that _____A. both could reduce the death rate in traffic accidentsB. fitting ISA in a car is justifiedC. both could make a car accident less seriousD. ISA would take time for people to acceptQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.While acting may run in the family, it wasn’t Angelina Jolie’s only choice when she thought about her future career. Although Jolie has studied her craft since childhood, at one point the 26-year-old, who stars this month in Tomb raider withher father, actor John Voight, wanted to be a funeral director. “I thought that the crossing over could be a beautiful thing and a time of comfort where people could reach out to each other.”Tradition appeals to Jolie, who moved with her mother, Marcheline Bertrand, and brother after her parents separated when she was two. “I never had one home. I never had an attic that old stuff in it. We always moved, so I was never rooted anywhere. And I always dreamed of having that attic of things that I could go backand look at. And I’m very drawn to some things that are tradition, that are roots, and I think that may be why I focused on funerals.”Finally, she chose acting. “Following in my father’s footsteps,” she says, “is an interesting thing, because I think we speak to each other through our work. You don’t really know your parents in a certain way, and they don’t really know you. So he can watch a film and see how I am as a woman, the way I’m dealing with a husband who’s been injured, or the way I’m crying alone.”“And it’s the same for me: I can watch films of his and just see who he is. I’ve learned to communicate with him as a person.”31. Which of the following is true about Angelina Jolie?A. Angelina Jolie became a funeral director at the age of 26B. Angelina Jolie was 26 years old when this article was writtenC. Angelina Jolie started to learn acting when she was 26 years oldD.

Angelina Jolie wanted to be a funeral director probably because _______A. tradition was appealing to herB. she paid particular attention to funeralsC. she was never rooted when she was youngD. she thought people could reach out to each other after their death34. Angelina Jolie finally chose acting because she thought_______A. her father could seen her on the screenB. acting was interesting and attractive to herC. she could hardly communicate with her fatherD. her father could understand her better through films35. Which of the following is not true according to the passage?A. Angelina Jolie was born in a family of actingB. Angelina Jolie hoped to communicate with her father by watching films.C. Angelina Jolie once believed that the crossing over could be a time of comfortD. Angelina Jolie thought people could know each other better by watching filmsPartⅢClozeDirections: There is a passage in this part with 10 blanks in it.

book,Life on the Mississippi,told of his adventures on the river boats of the period.It was during the Civil War that Mark Twain’s life as a writer started.At that time he was working as a newspaper man in Nevada and California.His short story,The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County,was an immediate success and his new life began.In1870,Mark Twain married Olivia Langdon.He had fallen in love with his wife even before he met her.His wife had a greet influence on Twain’s later books.Mark Twain was also a very successful lecturer.His travels around the country giving talks on different kinds of subjects helped make him famous and increased the sale of his books.Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn are considered Twain’s best works.They are marked by humor and satire（讽刺文学，讽刺）and provide

primitive societies a system of barter was used.Barter was a system of direct exchange of good.Somebody could exchange a sheep,for example,for anything in the market place that he or she considered to be of equal value.Barter,however,was a very unsatisfactory system of exchange,and various money systems developed based on goods that the members of a society recognized as having value.Cattle,grain,teeth, shells,salt,and tobacco had all been used.Precious metals gradually took over because,when made into coins,they were portable, durable,recognizable,and divisible into larger and smaller units of value.A coin is a piece of metal,usually disc-shaped,which bears lettering,designs or numbers showing its value.Until the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries,coins were given monetary worth based on the exact amount of metal contained in them,but most modern coins are based on face value—the value that the governments choose to give them,which doesn’t show the actual metal content. Coins have been made of gold,silver,copper,plastic and in China even from tealeaves.Most governments now issue paper money in the form of bills,which are really“promises to pay”.Paper money is obviously easier to handle and much more convenient in the modern world.Checks and credit cards are being used increasingly,and it is possible to imagine a world where“money”in the form of coins and paper currency will no longer be used.Even today,in the United States,many places,especially filling stations will not accept cash at night for security reasons.56.“Barter”(Line2,Paragraph l)here means.A.exchanging goods for moneyB.exchanging goods for goodsC.exchanging a sheep for anything in the marketD.exchanging money for goods57.Why were precious metals gradually used for making coins?A.Because they were durable and portable.B.Because they were recognizable.C.Because they were divisible.D.All of the above.58.Coins were given value according to the exact amount of metals contained in them.A.before the eighteenth and nineteenth centuriesB.after the eighteenth and nineteenth centuriesC.during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuriesD.between the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries59.“Promises to pay”(Line6,Paragraph2)means.A.possibilities to payB.necessities to payC.obligations to payD.opportunities to pay60.A world without any money in the form of coins and paper is.A.suitableB.possibleC.necessaryD.avoidableTask4(3points each;15points in all)Directions:This task is the same as Task l(No.61through No.65).In most lectures,several main ideas are presented.These are the concepts（思想）the lecturer wants the students to remember. Often the lecturer has a general idea that serves as an“umbrella”covering the other main concepts.The students'job,then,is to pickLecturers usually begin with an introduction.Sometimes the main concepts and the“umbrella”idea are briefly presented in the introduction;often they are not.Next comes the body of the lecture.It is here that the several main concepts are always presented. The final part of a lecture,the conclusion,is traditionally a summary of the main concepts.This is also the place where the “umbrella”idea can most easily be repeated,restated,or even introduced for the first time.When a lecture is well organized,with a clear-cut beginning,middle and end,the main ideas are usually easy to pick out.When a lecture is not well organized,getting the gist of what is being said is quite difficult.Some lecturers are“long-winded”,taking a long time to come to the point.Others ramble on(杂乱地漫谈)and never seem to come to the point at all.61.While listening to a lecture,the students are expected to remember.62.A lecture is usually made up of three parts-,and according to this passage.63.Sometimes,both and of a lecture are put forward in the introduction.64．A lecture with a neatly-planned,and is said to be a well organized lecture.65.The summary is in_of a lecture and it is also the place where the is mostly mentioned again.Ⅳ.Translation(35points)Section ADirections:Translate the following sentences from English into Chinese(4points each for No.66through No.68;6points for No.69;18points in all.)66.There is no general agreement about what can and should be done to solve the problem of pollution.67.Such networks as have been designed specially to enable people to send message to each other by computers are known as E-mail.68.Of all living things,only human beings can choose.where and how they want to live and then modify the physical environment to help them realize these choices.69.Some people believe that it is necessary for the government to take an active role in population planning because many people will not limit themselves to just one or two children.Section BDirections:Translate the following sentences from Chinese into English(4points each for No.70through No.72;5points for No.73;17points in all.)70.他认为退休以后就能集中精力干他喜欢的事了。

He could, for instance, remember which brand of tea Mrs. Smith usually bought or what sort of washing-powder Mrs. Jones preferred. Not only was the shop a center of buying and selling, but also a social meeting place.A prosperous general store might have employed four or five assistants, and so there werevery few problems in management as far as the staff were concerned. But now that the supermarket has replaced the general store, the job of the manager has changed completely.(86) The modern supermarket manager has to cope with a staff of as many as a hundred. Apart from all the other everyday problems of running a large business.Every morning the manager must, like the commander of an army division, carry out an inspection of his store to make sure that everything is ready for the business of the day. He must see that everything is running smoothly. He will have to give advice. And make decisions as problems arise, and he must know how to get his huge staff to work efficiently with their respective responsibilities.No matter what he has to do throughout the day, however, the supermarket manager must be ready for any emergency that may arise.

And eachcourse which he attends gives him a credit which he may count towards a degree. In many American universityes the total work for a degree consists of thirty-six courses each lasting forone semester. A typical course consists of three chlasses per week for fifiteen weeks. While attending auniversity a student will probably attend four or five courses during each semester. Normally a sutdent would expect to take four years attending two semesters each year. It is possible to spread the period of work for the degree over a longer period. It is also possible for a student to move between one university and another during his degree course, though this is not in fact done as a regular practice.For every course that he follows a student is given a grade, which is recorded, and therecord is available for the sutdent to show to prospective employers. Allthis imposes a constant pressure and strain of work, but in spite of this some students still find time for grreat. Activity in sutdent affairs. Elections to positions in student organizations arouse much enthusiasm. The effective work of maintaining discipline is usualy performed by students who advise the academic authorities. Any student who is thought to have broken the rules, for examole, by cheating has to appear before a student cout. With the enormous numbers of students,the operation of the system does involve a certain amount of activity. (87)A student who has held one of these positions of authority is much respected and it will beof benefit to him later in his career.66.Normally a student would at least attend_______classes each week.A)36B)12C)20D)1567.According to the first paragraph, anAmerican student is allowed _______.A)to live in a different universityB)to take a particular course in a different universityC)to live at home and drive to classesD)to get two degrees from two different universities68.

On the contrary,both their knowledge and experience are enriched, We feel that there are many disadvangages in streaming (把……按能力分班) pupils. It does not take into account the fact that children develop at different rates. It can have a bad effect on both the bright and the not-so-bright children. Afterall,it can be quite discouraging to be at the bottom of the top grade!Besides, it is rather unreal to grade people just according to their intellectual ability. This is only one aspect of their total personality. We are concerned to develop the abilities of all our pupils to the full, not just their academic ability. (88)We also valuepersonal qualities and social skills. And we find thatmixed-ability reaching contributes to these aspects of learning.In our classrooms, we work in various ways. The pupils often work in groups: this givesthem the opportunity to learn to co-operate, to share, and to develop leadership skills. (89) They also learn how to cope with personal problems as well as learning how to think. To make decisions.To analvse and evaluate. And to communicate effectively.The pupils learn from each other as well as from the teacher.Sometimes the pupils work in pairs; sometimes they work on individual tasks and assignments, and they can do this at their own speed. They also have some formal class teaching when this is appropriate. We encourage our pupils to use the library, and advanced pupil can do advanced work: it does not matter what age the chid is. We expect our pupils to do their best, not their least, and we give them every encouragement to attain this goal.71.In the passage the author’s attirude towards “mixed-ability teaching”is .A)criticalB)questioningC)approvingD)objective72.By “held back”(line.1)the author means “_______“.A)made to remain in the same classes.B)forced to study in the lower chasses.C)drawn to their studiesD)prevented from advancing73.The author argues that a teacher’s chief concem should be the development of the student’s _________.A)personal qualities and social skillsB)total personalityC)leaming ability and communication skillsD)intellectual a bility74.Which of the following is NOTMENTIONED in the third paragraph?A)Group work gives pupils the opportunity to learn to work.B)Prpils also learn how to develop their reasoning abilities.C)Group work provides pupils with the opportunity to learn to be capable organizers.D)Pupils also learn how to participate in teaching activities.75.The author’s purpose of writing this passage is to _______.A)argue for teaching bright and not-so-bright pupils in the same classB)recommend pair work and group work for classroom activitiesC)offer advice on the proper use of the libraryD)emphasize the importance of appropriate formal chassroom teachingQuestions 76~80 are based on the following passage:Mr. Smith was a wealthy industrialist, but he was not satisfied with life. He did not sleepwell and his food did not agree with him. This situation lasted for some time, Finally, after several sleepless nights, he decided to consult his doctor. The doctor advesed a change of surroundings. “Go abrad,”he said. “But I’mno good at foreign languages,”said Mr. Smith, “It doesn’t matter,”said the doctor, “It won’t hurt you to talk a little less. Go on a voyage. Take plenty of exercise. Tryto reduce your weight. Avoid rich food.”Mr. Smith went to Switzerland. He did not know French of German, and had tocommunicate throuhg gestures. He attended a physical training couse. The insructor made him bend his knees ,swing his arms, stretch his neck and shake his head rapidly. He had to lie on the ground and raise his right and left legs alternatively. After a time his muscles grew hard and firm. He forgot the financial crisis and the importance of raising the level of production. He even began to notice individual trees and individual birds.Finally he returned home. But unfortunately his improvement was only temporary. Soon hewas a normal businessman again, worried about his property, his profits, his savings, his advancement in a technological society, and things in general.76.Mr. smith went to see his doctor because he _______.A)had little to eatB)was seriously illC)was afraid of sleeping at nightD)didn’t feel well77.The dortor advised Mr.Smith to do all the following EXCEPT ________.A)talk lessB)change the surroundingsC)eat food of good qualityD)handshakes78.In the second paragraph,gestures means _____.A)body movementsB)simple wordsC)pens or pencilsD)handshakes79.When he traveled abroad, Mr.Smith_______.A)learnde boxingB)raised the about his businessC)forgot all about his businessD)shook his head all the time80.In the last paragraph,the word temporarv means________.A)lasting for a sheort timeB)not deepC)unimportantD)developing very showlyQuestions 81~85 are based on the following passage:Answer the questions in less than ten words.Nearly every one agrees that money doesn’t buy as much as it used to, no matter whereyou want to spend it. This is certainly true of the paper money that passes so quickly through one’shands. Inflation eats awav at its buying power with the steady appetite of waves chewing(侵蚀) at the sand cliffs. But what about coins that seen to do very little except clutter up (堆满) purses and pockets? Unlike notes, metal money becomes more valuable the longer it is held, especially if it is put away where it won’t get scratched or worn. Why is this? One reason is that coins, being more durable, fall more readily into a category for collectors. Naturally, the rarer gold pieces must become more valuable as the price of this metal goes up.But, curiously, one of the rarest coins in the world is not made of gold, but of the relatively cheaper silver. In 1804, the United States Mint (造币厂) struck 19,570 silver dollars. That is what its records show. Today only six of this original number remain and these are unlikely ever to reach the auction (拍卖) market. So what happened to some 19,564 large silver coins, not the easiest sort of things to lose? One of the romantic theories is that they were part of the payment to Napoleon for the American territory then know as Louisiana. But they never reached France. Somewhere in the Gulf of Mexico,the ship transporting them was sunk, either by a storm or by pirates (海盗). The probable answer to the mystery is that they were melted down …since the value was greater than the actual value of the coin. (90) What really happened to the test will probably always remain a mystery. What is kvown is that whoever can come up with one will find himself instantly rich.81.What does the phrase “eat away”in para 1 mean?82.What’s the rarest coins in the world made of?83.Why does the metal money become more valuable?84.How many silver dollars mentioned in the passage remain today?85.For what reason did they never reach France?IV.Translation (20 points,4 for each )Directions:The following sentences are taken from the reading passages.Please put them into Chinese.86.The modem supermarket manager has to cope with a staff of as many as a hundred, apartfrom all the other everyday problems of running a large business.87.A student who has held one of these positions authority is much respected and it will be of benefit to him later in his careet.88.We also value personal qualities and social skills, and we find that mixed-ability teaching contributes to these aspects of learning.89.Then also learn how to cope with personal problems as well as learning how to think, tomake decisions,to analyze and evaluate, and to communicate effectively.90.What really happende to the rest will probably always remain a mystery.

2003年河北专接本（英语）真题试卷(题后含答案及解析)题型有：1. 2. V ocabulary and Structure 3. Error Identification 4. Cloze 5. WritingA forger(伪造者)is a person who makes an imitation or copy of money or a document. A forger usually sells his works to people who don’t have much knowledge in the field. Robert Spring, a 19th century forger, was so good at his profession that he was able to make his living for 15 years by selling false signatures of famous Americans. At first he succeeded in selling his small but genuine collection of early U. S. autographs(亲笔签名). Discovering his ability at copying handwriting, he began imitating signatures of George Washington and Ben Franklin and writing them on the title pages of old books. To lessen the chance of detection, he sent his forgeries to England and Canada for sale. In Spring’s time, right after the Civil War, Britain was still fond of the Southern states, so Spring invented a Miss Fanny whose financial problems forced her to sell a great number of letters and manuscripts belonging to her famous father. Spring had to work very hard to satisfy the demand. All this activity did not prevent Spring from dying in poverty, leaving sharp - eyed experts the difficult task of separating his forgeries from the originals.1．Why did Spring sell his false autographs in England and Canada?A．There was a greater demand there than in America.B．There was less chance of being detected there.C．Britain was Spring’s birthplace.D．The prices were higher in England and Canada.正确答案：B2．After the Civil War, there was a great demand in Britain for______.A．Southern moneyB．Signatures of George Washington and Ben FranklinC．Southern manuscripts and lettersD．Civil War battle plans正确答案：C3．Robert Spring spent 15 years______.A．running a bookstore in PhiladelphiaB．corresponding with Miss Fanny JacksonC．as a forgerD．as a respectable dealer正确答案：C4．According to the passage, forgeries are usually sold to______.A．sharp - eyed expertsB．persons who aren’t expertsC．book dealersD．owners of old books正确答案：B5．Who was Miss Fanny Jackson?A．The only daughter of General “Stonewall Jackson”.B．A little - known girl who sold her father’s papers to Robert Spring.C．Robert Spring’s daughter.D．An imaginary person created by Spring.正确答案：DObviously it is meaningless in increasing your w. p. m. rate if you do not understand what you are reading. When you are consciously trying to increase your reading speed, stop after every chapter if you are reading a novel, or stop every section or group of ten or twelve pages if it is a textbook, and ask yourself a few questions about what you have been reading. If you find you have lost the clue of the story or you cannot remember clearly the details of what was said re - read the section or chapter. Try this from time to time. Take four or five pages of the general interest book you happen to be reading at the time. Read them as fast as you possibly can. Do not worry about whether you understand or not. Now go back and read them at what you feel to be your normal w. p. m. rate, the rate at which you can comfortably understand. After a lightning speed read through(probably about 600 w. p. m.)you will usually find that your technique that players use when they habitually run further in training than they will have to on the day of the big race.6．When you are reading a novel, the passage advises you to pause to check the content______.A．every chapterB．every hourC．every three or four pagesD．after every page正确答案：A7．The purpose of pausing so often is to______.A．rest the eyesB．make sure you have not missed any pagesC．make sure you really understand what you have readD．prevent brain fatigue正确答案：C8．If you have lost the clue of the story you are reading, the passage suggests______.A．choosing an easier bookB．glancing back over the chapter you have just readC．asking a friend to help you with the difficult wordsD．learning the previous chapter正确答案：B9．The purpose of the lightning speed exercise is to______.A．increase your normal speed by practicing at a very high rateB．get through the book in half the time so that you can go on to with the next C．help you understand more of the content of the bookD．enable you to win reading races against your friends正确答案：A10．The word “interest” in Paragraph 2 means______.A．attractiveB．easyC．interestingD．important正确答案：CSports and games make our bodies strong: prevent us from getting too fat, and keep us healthy. But these are not their only use. They give us valuable practice in making eyes, brain and muscles work together. In tennis, our eyes see the ball coming, judge its speed and direction and pass this information on to the brain. The brain has to decide what to do, and to send its orders to the muscles of the arms, legs and so on, so that the ball is met and hit back where it ought to go. All this must happen with very great speed: and only those who have had a lot of practice at tennis can carry out this complicated chain of events successfully. For those who work with their brains most of the day, the practice of such skills is especially useful. Sports and games are also very useful for character—training. In their lessons at school, boys and girls may learn about such virtues as unselfishness, courage, discipline and love of one’s country , but what is learned in books cannot have the same deep effect on achild’s character as what is learned by experience. The ordinary day—school cannot give much practical training in living, because most of the pupils’time is spent in classes, studying lessons. So it is what the pupils do in their spare time that really prepares them to take their place in society as citizens when they grow up. If each of them learns to work for his team and not for himself on the football field, he will later find it natural to work for their country instead of only for his own benefit.11．According to the author, sports and games are useful because they______.A．help us lose weightB．bring us much practice in bodyC．make us fat and strongD．improve our bodily strength and coordination正确答案：D12．The “complicated chain of events “ refers to______.A．the passing of information and making of decisionB．the meeting and hitting back of the ballC．the coordination of our eyes, brain and musclesD．a lot of practice before playing tennis正确答案：C13．By character - training, the author means that sports and games can help children______.A．live a better life when they grow upB．know better how to behave properly in their future lifeC．understand better the virtues they learn in booksD．take a better position in society正确答案：C14．According to the author, a child’s character can be most deeply influenced by______.A．what he does after classB．what he learns in booksC．his place in societyD．his lessons at school正确答案：A15．What is of the greatest importance to a football team is______.A．its membersB．its team workC．the football fieldD．the climate正确答案：BIn 1848 a settler in remote, undeveloped California discovered gold near Sacramento. As the news spread, a great tide of gold - hungry men flowed into California. These “ Forty - niners”(migrants of 1849)came from Europe. Some of the people moved across the country by wagon, traveling almost half a year and meeting many hardships and danger. Others sailed all the way around South America, finally reaching the California shore. Since the first discovery was of tiny pieces of gold at the bottom of a stream, many of the prospectors used pans and sieves, searching the waters of brooks and rivers for the precious specks of yellow metal. Others made channels to draw off flowing water in order to examine it carefully for specks of gold. They worked with almost insane determination and fierce competition. Life was hard and rough in the days of the California gold rush. A few of the adventurers became rich, but most of them were bitterly disappointed. After having uprooted themselves from home and from livelihood and after traveling the long, dangerous road to California, they had found little or nothing. Some returned home. But many remained in California to work and to settle as ordinary cozens without the riches they had dreamed of. It was this great influx of population that built up California very fast and led to its becoming a state of the United States in 1850.16．Many people rushed to California because______.A．they were hungry for discoveriesB．they were attracted by goldC．they were travelers form EuropeD．they looked for a new competition正确答案：B17．According to the author, some gold - seekers were perhaps from______.A．South AmericaB．England or FranceC．prosperous SacramentoD．industrialized California正确答案：B18．In Line Two, “Forty - niners” referred to______.A．those people who left CaliforniaB．the number of the gold - rushersC．the newcomers to California in 1849D．the year of gold rush正确答案：C19．A great many people remained in California because______.

2003年河北专接本(英语)真题试卷(题后含答案及解析)
2003年河北专接本（英语）真题试卷(题后含答案及解析)题型有：1. 2. V ocabulary and Structure 3. Error Identification 4. Cloze 5. WritingA forger(伪造者)is a person who makes an imitation or copy of money or a document. A forger usually sells his works to people who don’t have much knowledge in the field. Robert Spring, a 19th century forger, was so good at his profession that he was able to make his living for 15 years by selling false signatures of famous Americans. At first he succeeded in selling his small but genuine collection of early U. S. autographs(亲笔签名). Discovering his ability at copying handwriting, he began imitating signatures of George Washington and Ben Franklin and writing them on the title pages of old books. To lessen the chance of detection, he sent his forgeries to England and Canada for sale. In Spring’s time, right after the Civil War, Britain was still fond of the Southern states, so Spring invented a Miss Fanny whose financial problems forced her to sell a great number of letters and manuscripts belonging to her famous father. Spring had to work very hard to satisfy the demand. All this activity did not prevent Spring from dying in poverty, leaving sharp - eyed experts the difficult task of separating his forgeries from the originals.1．Why did Spring sell his false autographs in England and Canada?A．There was a greater demand there than in America.B．There was less chance of being detected there.C．Britain was Spring’s birthplace.D．The prices were higher in England and Canada.正确答案：B2．After the Civil War, there was a great demand in Britain for______.A．Southern moneyB．Signatures of George Washington and Ben FranklinC．Southern manuscripts and lettersD．Civil War battle plans正确答案：C3．Robert Spring spent 15 years______.A．running a bookstore in PhiladelphiaB．corresponding with Miss Fanny JacksonC．as a forgerD．as a respectable dealer正确答案：C4．According to the passage, forgeries are usually sold to______.A．sharp - eyed expertsB．persons who aren’t expertsC．book dealersD．owners of old books正确答案：B5．Who was Miss Fanny Jackson?A．The only daughter of General “Stonewall Jackson”.B．A little - known girl who sold her father’s papers to Robert Spring.C．Robert Spring’s daughter.D．An imaginary person created by Spring.正确答案：DObviously it is meaningless in increasing your w. p. m. rate if you do not understand what you are reading. When you are consciously trying to increase your reading speed, stop after every chapter if you are reading a novel, or stop every section or group of ten or twelve pages if it is a textbook, and ask yourself a few questions about what you have been reading. If you find you have lost the clue of the story or you cannot remember clearly the details of what was said re - read the section or chapter. Try this from time to time. Take four or five pages of the general interest book you happen to be reading at the time. Read them as fast as you possibly can. Do not worry about whether you understand or not. Now go back and read them at what you feel to be your normal w. p. m. rate, the rate at which you can comfortably understand. After a lightning speed read through(probably about 600 w. p. m.)you will usually find that your technique that players use when they habitually run further in training than they will have to on the day of the big race.6．When you are reading a novel, the passage advises you to pause to check the content______.A．every chapterB．every hourC．every three or four pagesD．after every page正确答案：A7．The purpose of pausing so often is to______.A．rest the eyesB．make sure you have not missed any pagesC．make sure you really understand what you have readD．prevent brain fatigue正确答案：C8．If you have lost the clue of the story you are reading, the passage suggests______.A．choosing an easier bookB．glancing back over the chapter you have just readC．asking a friend to help you with the difficult wordsD．learning the previous chapter正确答案：B9．The purpose of the lightning speed exercise is to______.A．increase your normal speed by practicing at a very high rateB．get through the book in half the time so that you can go on to with the next C．help you understand more of the content of the bookD．enable you to win reading races against your friends正确答案：A10．The word “interest” in Paragraph 2 means______.A．attractiveB．easyC．interestingD．important正确答案：CSports and games make our bodies strong: prevent us from getting too fat, and keep us healthy. But these are not their only use. They give us valuable practice in making eyes, brain and muscles work together. In tennis, our eyes see the ball coming, judge its speed and direction and pass this information on to the brain. The brain has to decide what to do, and to send its orders to the muscles of the arms, legs and so on, so that the ball is met and hit back where it ought to go. All this must happen with very great speed: and only those who have had a lot of practice at tennis can carry out this complicated chain of events successfully. For those who work with their brains most of the day, the practice of such skills is especially useful. Sports and games are also very useful for character—training. In their lessons at school, boys and girls may learn about such virtues as unselfishness, courage, discipline and love of one’s country , but what is learned in books cannot have the same deep effect on achild’s character as what is learned by experience. The ordinary day—school cannot give much practical training in living, because most of the pupils’time is spent in classes, studying lessons. So it is what the pupils do in their spare time that really prepares them to take their place in society as citizens when they grow up. If each of them learns to work for his team and not for himself on the football field, he will later find it natural to work for their country instead of only for his own benefit.11．According to the author, sports and games are useful because they______.A．help us lose weightB．bring us much practice in bodyC．make us fat and strongD．improve our bodily strength and coordination正确答案：D12．The “complicated chain of events “ refers to______.A．the passing of information and making of decisionB．the meeting and hitting back of the ballC．the coordination of our eyes, brain and musclesD．a lot of practice before playing tennis正确答案：C13．By character - training, the author means that sports and games can help children______.A．live a better life when they grow upB．know better how to behave properly in their future lifeC．understand better the virtues they learn in booksD．take a better position in society正确答案：C14．According to the author, a child’s character can be most deeply influenced by______.A．what he does after classB．what he learns in booksC．his place in societyD．his lessons at school正确答案：A15．What is of the greatest importance to a football team is______.A．its membersB．its team workC．the football fieldD．the climate正确答案：BIn 1848 a settler in remote, undeveloped California discovered gold near Sacramento. As the news spread, a great tide of gold - hungry men flowed into California. These “ Forty - niners”(migrants of 1849)came from Europe. Some of the people moved across the country by wagon, traveling almost half a year and meeting many hardships and danger. Others sailed all the way around South America, finally reaching the California shore. Since the first discovery was of tiny pieces of gold at the bottom of a stream, many of the prospectors used pans and sieves, searching the waters of brooks and rivers for the precious specks of yellow metal. Others made channels to draw off flowing water in order to examine it carefully for specks of gold. They worked with almost insane determination and fierce competition. Life was hard and rough in the days of the California gold rush. A few of the adventurers became rich, but most of them were bitterly disappointed. After having uprooted themselves from home and from livelihood and after traveling the long, dangerous road to California, they had found little or nothing. Some returned home. But many remained in California to work and to settle as ordinary cozens without the riches they had dreamed of. It was this great influx of population that built up California very fast and led to its becoming a state of the United States in 1850.16．Many people rushed to California because______.A．they were hungry for discoveriesB．they were attracted by goldC．they were travelers form EuropeD．they looked for a new competition正确答案：B17．According to the author, some gold - seekers were perhaps from______.A．South AmericaB．England or FranceC．prosperous SacramentoD．industrialized California正确答案：B18．In Line Two, “Forty - niners” referred to______.A．those people who left CaliforniaB．the number of the gold - rushersC．the newcomers to California in 1849D．the year of gold rush正确答案：C19．A great many people remained in California because______. A．they found what they had expectedB．life there was full of competitionsC．they had no better choicesD．they still dreamed of the riches正确答案：C20．What was the suggested title for the passage?A．The California Gold RushB．The Migrants of 1849C．The Hard and Rough Life in CaliforniaD．How to Find Gold in California正确答案：AV ocabulary and Structure21．Have you______a single word I’ve been saying to you?

After reading each passage, you will find some questions or unfinished statements. For each question or statementthere are 4 choices marked A.,B.,C., and D. You should choose the mostappropriate answer and write the letter in the corresponding space on theAnswer Sheet.Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.For thousands of years, people have looked up at the night sky and looked at the moon. They wondered what the moon was made of. They wanted to know how big it was and how far away it was. One of the most interesting questions was “Where did the moon come from?” No one knew for sure. Scientists developed many different theories, or guesses, but they could not prove that their ideas were correct.Then, between 1969 and 1972, the United States sent astronauts to the moon. They studied the moon and returned to the earth with rock samples. Scientists have studied these pieces of rock, the moon’s movements, and information about the moon and the earth. They can finally answer questions about the origin of the moon. Today most scientists believe that the moon formed from the earth. They think that a large object hit the earth early in history. Perhaps the object was as big as Mars. When the object hit the earth, huge pieces of the earth broke off. These pieces then moved around the earth. After a brief time, the pieces came together and formed the moon.This “impact(撞击) theory” exposes many facts about the earth and the moon. For example, the moon is very dry because the impact created so much heat that it dried up all the water. The earth has iron in its center. This is because the moonformed from lighter materials that make up the outer part of the earth. Finally, the earth and the moon are almost of the same age: the earth is about 4.5 billion years old, while the moon is about 4.4 billion years old.No one can prove that something really happened billions of years ago. In the future, new information will either support this theory or show that it is wrong. For now, scientists accept the impact theory because it explains what we know today about the earth and the moon.16. From the first paragraph we know that when people looked at the moon they ____.A. wished to travel to itB. enjoyed its beauty very muchC. wanted to know more about itD. developed many theories about it17. Astronauts are people who _____.A. collect rock samplesB. are sent to work in spaceC. are interested in the moonD. study the structure of the moon18. We can infer from the second paragraph that ____.A. answers to the origin of the moon have been found out at lastB. scientists are eager to send more astronauts to spaceC. technology help scientists understand the universe more and betterD. astronauts could not return to the earth without the help of scientists19. It is believed by most scientists that ______.A. the moon was hit by an object as large as MarsB. the moon formed from pieces of rock from MarsC. the pieces from Mars came together to form the earthD. the moon is made up of materials similar to those of the earth20. The “impact theory” sounds reasonable because ____.A. scientists have found what happened billions of years agoB. it is based on the newly gathered information about MarsC. it can answer many questions raised about the moon and the earthD. astronauts believe that the moon and the earth are of the same ageQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.I was 15 when I walked into McCarley’s Bookstore in Ashland, Ore., and began scanning titles on the shelves. The man behind the counter, Mac McCarley, asked if I’d like a job. I needed to start saving for college, so I said yes.I worked after school and during summers for minimum wage, and the job helped pay for my freshman year of college. I would work many other jobs: I breed(煮) coffee in the student union during college, was a hotel maid and even made mapsfor the U.S. Forest Service. But selling books was one of the most satisfying.One day a woman asked me for books on cancer. She seemed fearful. I showed her virtually everything we had in stock and found other books we could order. She left the store less apprehensive, and I’ve always remembered the pride I felt in having helped her.Years later, as a television reporter in Los Angeles, I heard about an immigrant child who was born with his thumb attached, weblike, to the rest of his hand. His family could not afford corrective surgery, and the boy lived in shame, hiding his hand in his pocket.I persuaded my boss to let me do the story. After my story was broadcast, a doctor and a nurse called, offering to perform the surgery for free. I visited the boy in the recovery room after the operation. The first thing he did was hold up his repaired hand and say, “Thank you.” I felt an overwhelming(巨大的) sense of reward. At McCarley’s Bookstore, I always sensed I was working for the customers, not the store. Today it’s the same. NBC News pays my salary, but I fell as if I work for the viewers, helping them make sense of the world.21. The author accepted the job because ______.A. she wanted to make some money to go to collegeB. she couldn’t find anything better to doC. selling books was one of the most satisfying fobsD. helping people made her feel proud22. The author felt very proud ______.A. because she could help do something for the bookstoreB. when she sold all the books in stock to othersC. because she could order books for the womanD. when she did her best to help the woman23. The word “apprehensive” in the third paragraph probably means ______.A. disappointedB. worriedC. doubtedD. unhappy24.

Though she worked for certain companies and got paid by themQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.One form of driver assistance that is sure to call one’s attention is intelligent speed adaptation (ISA) ---- a technology for forcing a driver to observe the speed limit. This works by building into the car a digital map marked with local speed restrictions. The addition of GPS (global positioning system) navigation tells the car what the maximum speed on any given stretch of road should be. Cars are hten slowed down, or prevented from accelerating, whenever they are at or above the speed limit. One way to do this is to starve the engine of fuel. Another is to add a measure of play to the accelerator pedal (油门). A third is to make the accelerator harder to push down. In future drive-by-wire vehicles, the software would refuse request from the accelerator pedal when above the speed limit.However, people have different opinions as far as ISA is concerned. Whatever their opinions are, the main justification for ISA is likely to be the high cost of speeding. Studies suggest that ISA could reduce the number of accidents by as much as 40%, and the number of fatal accidents by nearly 60%. It could also improve fuel efficiency, remove the need for enforcing speed limits with cameras and policemen, and reduce the costs of insurance.Trials of ISA systems have already been carried out in Sweden, Denmark, the Netherlands and Britain, and more are planned in Belgium and France. Although resistance is expected from drivers as well as from motor manufacturers, ISA could be introduced gradually, first with new cars and later as retro-fitting(改装) to the remaining old cars --- rather as seatbelts were introduced a generation ago. The trials show that a surprisingly large proportion of people come to accept ISA after they have lived with it for a while ----- again, much like the experience with seatbelts.26. According to the first paragraph the highest allowed speed of a car is to be determined by _____.A. the acceleratorB. GPSC. a digital mapD. the driver27. One of the measures to keep a car within the speed limit is ______.A. to add less fuel to the engineB. to limit the use of acceleratorC. to push down the accelerator pedalD. to remove the pedal from accelerator28. One of the major reasons for having ISA fixed in a car is to ______A. replace policemen with a new deviceB. warn drivers of possible accidentsC. have traffic accidents greatly reducedD. introduce fuel-efficient equipment29. According to the passage, ISA systems ______A. are still in their testing periodB. remain a theory to be testedC. have found wide applications in the auto industryD. have been a popular invention among motor makers30. The author compares ISA with seatbelts to show that _____A. both could reduce the death rate in traffic accidentsB. fitting ISA in a car is justifiedC. both could make a car accident less seriousD. ISA would take time for people to acceptQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.While acting may run in the family, it wasn’t Angelina Jolie’s only choice when she thought about her future career. Although Jolie has studied her craft since childhood, at one point the 26-year-old, who stars this month in Tomb raider with her father, actor John Voight, wanted to be a funeral director. “I thought that the crossing over could be a beautiful thing and a time of comfort where people could reach out to each other.”Tradition appeals to Jolie, who moved with her mother, Marcheline Bertrand, and brother after her parents separated when she was two. “I never had one home. I never had an attic that old stuff in it. We always moved, so I was never rooted anywhere. And I always dreamed of having that attic of things that I could go backand look at. And I’m very drawn to some things that are tradition, that are roots, and I think that may be why I focused on funerals.”Finally, she chose acting. “Following in my father’s footsteps,” she says, “is an interesting thing, because I think we speak to each other through our work. You don’t really know your parents in a certain way, and they don’t really know you. So he can watch a film and see how I am as a woman, the way I’m dealing with a husband who’s been injured, or the way I’m crying alone.”“And it’s the same for me: I can watch films of his and just see who he is. I’ve learned to communicate with him as a person.”31. Which of the following is true about Angelina Jolie?A. Angelina Jolie became a funeral director at the age of 26B. Angelina Jolie was 26 years old when this article was writtenC. Angelina Jolie started to learn acting when she was 26 years oldD. Angelina Jolie wanted to become a funeral director at the age of 2632. An attic is ______A. a small roomB. a collection of booksC. a small suitcaseD. an amount of money33. Angelina Jolie wanted to be a funeral director probably because _______A. tradition was appealing to herB. she paid particular attention to funeralsC. she was never rooted when she was youngD. she thought people could reach out to each other after their death34. Angelina Jolie finally chose acting because she thought_______A. her father could seen her on the screenB. acting was interesting and attractive to herC. she could hardly communicate with her fatherD. her father could understand her better through films35. Which of the following is not true according to the passage?A. Angelina Jolie was born in a family of actingB. Angelina Jolie hoped to communicate with her father by watching films.C. Angelina Jolie once believed that the crossing over could be a time of comfortD. Angelina Jolie thought people could know each other better by watching filmsPartⅢClozeDirections: There is a passage in this part with 10 blanks in it.

They want to know about the ocean water and the 33 and animal life 34in the ocean.In 1934 the scientist Willian Beebe dived 3,000 feet below the surface in a hollowsteel ball. In 1935 Auguste Piccard dived 10,330 feet. In 1960 his son Jean divedto a 35 of 35,800 feet.All these early dives were deep. But the divers could not stay down for very long.They had to 36 the surface after a few seconds. Scientists needed to stay down longerto study life below the surface.37,they succeeded. Cousteau, a Frenchman, was able to 38 men down to a depth of36 feet for one month and to a depth of 90 feet for a week.Now scientists are developing even 39 equipment. With this new equipment, men canstay 40 the surface for days or 41 weeks. In 1962 Cousteau 42 a research station 35feet flow the surface. Then in 1964 he set up another station on the ocean floor ofthe Red Sea.

Minutes later, at an altitude of 300 miles, this they tiny electronic moon beginsto orbit about the earth. Its radio begins to transmit a staggering amount of information about the satellite's orbital path, the amount of radiation it detects,and the presence of meteorites. Information of all kinds races back to the earth.No human being could possibly copy down all these faces, much less remember and organize them .but an electronic computer can.The marvel of the machine age, the electronic computer has been in use only since1946.It can do simple computations-add ,subtract, multiply, and divide-withlightning speed and perfect accuracy .It can multiply two 10 digit number in 1/1000second ,a problem that would take an average person five minutes to do with penciland paper. Some computers can work 5000 times faster than any person can. Once it is given a program, that is a carefully worked out set of instructions devised by a technician trained in computer language, a computer can gather a wide range of information for many purposes. For the scientist it can get information fromouter space or from the depths of the ocean. In business and industry the computerprepares factory inventories, keeps track of sales trends and production needs, mailsdividend checks, and makes out company payrolls. It can keep bank accounts up to dateand make out electric bills. If you are planning a trip by plane ,the computer willfind out what route to take and what space is available.51.Why does the author regard the electronic computer as the marvel of the machineage?A)Because electronic computers are rare.B)Because people know little about electronic computers.C)Because electronic computers can do much more kinds of work that human beingscan't.D)Because electronic computers have been widely suspected.52.Electronic computers were giver the name in the beginning just for the simple reason that _____A)they could go computationsB)they could work much faster than human beingsC)they talked like an abacusD)they could remember data quickly53.According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?A)Computers began to be used in 1946.B)computers can add, subtract, multiply and divide.C)computers were widely used during World War II.D)No human being can work as fast as a computer.54.A computer can calculate _______.A)with lightning speedB)accuratelyC)with a speed 500,000 times faster than a personD)all above55.In the first sentence of last paragraph,"program" would probably mean _____.A)a performance B)a showC)a worked-out set of instructionsD)a TV playPassage 2On the old-time farm in America there were chickens and turkeys. There were alsocows, pigs, and other livestock. But there very few machines. Most of the work was done by the entire farm family with the help of a "hired" man. Sometimes extra laborerswere needed in busy seasons. Horses provided 79 percent of the power used, human labor15 percent, and machines only 6 percent.Today all that has changed. On many modern farms machines now supply 96 percentof the power, human labor 3 percent, and horses 1percent.Modern farms are enterprisingbusinesses which keep only the livestock that can pay its way. The children go to school by bus every morning, the parents work on the farm or in the house, and hiredhelp is seldom needed. Their work has been replaced by a whole army of farm machines.Farmers in the machine age also use the new fertilizers, new sprays, new feeds, new hybrid seeds, and other helps developed by farm sciences. As a result the farmersare able to produce more food with less labor. This means fewer but larger farms andfewer but more prosperous farmers.56.In olds, most of the work on a farm was done by______.A)all the farm family B)livestockC)farm machines D)both A and B57.From the first paragraph, we learn that in old days the most important farming power was_______.A）livestock B)farmers C)machines D)extra laborers58.On today's farms, the chief reason why livestock is still raised would probably be________.A)that farmers' conventions are difficult to be given upB)that farmers want to gain more profitC)that farmers have to do soD)that farmers' work has been replaced by machines59.On modern farms, farmers need mostly all the followings EXCEPT _______.A)farm science B)seeds C)fertilizers D)hard work60.In the last sentence of paragraph 3,"fewer but larger farms and fewer but more prosperous farmers"means ________.A)hired help is seldom neededB)productivity on the farms has been raised greatlyC)productivity on the farms has fallen sharplyD)more food is never neededPassage 3City traffic jam---one of the least wanted effects ofthe motor vehicle---is something with which we're all familiar and for which mostof us have an answer. But which solution is best?Some people suggest for better roads, others for cars to be banned(禁⽌）from citycenters and yet others say better public transport would attract drivers from theirlonely and boring journeys.But the important question is what natural power creates a big city center. We are, after all, in an age of electronic communication；our nig shopping areas have moved out of city centers, and our living areas moved out of them long ago.Yet some force causes offices and service industries related to them to gather in London of New York or Tokyo. This suggests that far from the problems of a crowdedenvironment forcing companies and people to move out, there is a critical(重⼤的）size beyond which more companies are attracted to move in. Nobody seems to know why,yet the answer is important to the way traffic jam is dealt with.61.Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage as the cause of the trafficproblem?A)The poor public transport.B)The over-concentration of shopping centers.C)The great number of cars in the city centers.D)The bad road conditions.62.Acording to the passage, offices and their associated service industries move tobig cities because of _____.A)the convenience of communicationB)the gathering of companiesC)some unknown forceD)the convenience of shopping63.The word"This"(Line2,Para,4)refers to____A)some forceB)traffic jamC)the force that causes offices to move in or outD)the fact that companies gather in big cities64.This passage is most likely taken form____A)a novelB)a TV playC)an instructionD)a news report65.The topic of this passage would probably be____A)Best Answer to Traffic ProblemB)The Banning of Cars in the City CenterC)The Formation of City CenterD)Searching for Ways to Solve Traffic ProblemPassage 4Mrs.Cox teaches English in a large high school located in the inner area of a bigcity on the West Coast.

Being out of high school meant I was finally coming of age. Soon I would be on my own, making my own decisions, doing what I wanted and it meant going to school with boys — a welcome change coming from an all-girl high school.There was never any question in my mind that I would go to a college away from home. My mother’s idea, on the another hand, was just the opposite. Trying her best not to force her ideas on me, she would subtly(含蓄地)ask whether I had considered particular schools—all of which happened to be located in or near my hometown of Chicago. Once it was established that, if itwas financially feasible(可行的), I would go away anyway, my family’s ideas changed. T heir concern shifted from whether I was going away to how far I would go. The schools I was considering on the east Coast suddenly looked far more attractive than those in California.But which college I would attend was just one of what seemed like a never-ending list of unknowns. What would college be like? Would I be unbearably lonely not knowing anyone else who was going to the same school?… What if the college I selected turned out to be a horrible mistake?Then panic set in. My feelings took a 180-degree turn.21. Which of the following statements is TRUE about the writer according to the passage?A) She graduated from a high school for girls only.B) She wanted to leave home forever.C) Her hometown is on the West Coast.D) Her family was strongly against her leaving home.22.

The writer would go away from home _______.A) to find a better universityB) if her parents agreed to let her goC) if she had the moneyD) no matter what might happen to her25. Why did the writer’s feeling take a 180-degree turn in the end?A) Because she was not sure about her college life.B) Because she was lonely in her choice of college.C) Because in fact she was afraid of leaving her family.D) Because the college she selected was a horrible mistake.Questions 26-30 are based on the following passage:Early last season, I wrote an article about a random(随意的) act of kindness I had seen Jordan(乔丹) do to a disabled child outside the Stadium(体育馆) after a game.The day after the article was published, I got a call from a man in the western suburbs. He said:”I read what you wrote about Jordan, and I thought I should tell you what I saw.”Here it comes, I thought. It always does. Write something nice about a person, and people call you up to say that the person is not so nice.What the caller said, though, was this: he and his wife had been to a football game, and their car had broken down. They’d had to wait about 45 minutes after the end of the game to get a taxi ride to the suburbs.“We were four blocks from the Stadium in a bad area, and at one corner unde r a streetlight was Jordan’s car,” the man said, “He was standing outside the car, talking with some boys from the neighborhood. It was late at night, and they were just talking. I thought it was nice of him, but I wonder why he stopped.”A few weeks later Jordan and I were talking about something else before a game, and I brought up what the man had said. Was the man right? Had Jordan really been talking to those two boys in that dark neighborhood?“Not two boys,” Jordan said. “But four. I see them every n ight.”Every night? Why?He smiled. “If I don’t stop, I’ll go home knowing they’re waiting for me anyway,” he said. “If you knew my four guys you’d know that they’re going to be out there whether it’s raining or snowing…they’re there.”26. What is the usual reaction if someone is praised according to the writer?A) They will show no interest. C) They will want to know more.B) They will tell something similar.

At 16, I liked nothing better than getting behind the wheel of our family pickup(小货运车), but this time there was something bothering me. My father had told me I’d have to ask for credit(赊款) at the store.Sixteen is a proud age, when a young man wants respect, not pity. It was 1976, and the ugly shadow of racism(种族主义) was still a fact of life in some parts of the country. I’d seen my friends ask for credit and then be rudely asked whether they were “good for it”.My family was honest, we paid our debts. But before harvest, cash was short. Would the store owner trust us?At Davis Brothers General Store, Buck Davis stood behind the register(记帐台)，talking to a farmer. Buck was a tall, weathered man in a red hunting shirt, and I nodded as I passed him on my way to the hardware counter. When I brought my purchases to the register, I said carefully, “I need to put this on credit.”The farmer gave me a strange look. But Buck’s face didn’t change. “Sure”, he said easily. “Your daddy is always god for it.” He turned to the other man. “This boy is one of James Williams’ sons.”The farmer nodded in a friendly way. I was filled with pride. James Williams’ son. Those three words had opened a door to an adult’s respect and trust.That day I discovered that a good name was of great value.The good name my father and mother had earned brought our whole family the respect of our neighbors. Everyone knew what to expect from a Williams: a decent person who kept his word and respected himself too much to do wrong.31. The writer begins this article with ______.A) a small joke C) a pleasant factB) a personal experience D) a serious comment32.

For each question there are four suggested answers marked A), B), C) and D). you should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet witha single line through the center.Questions 21-25 are based on the following passage.High school graduation —the bitter-sweet feelings are as much a part of me now as they were twenty-one years ago.As graduation day approached, excitement increased. Being out of high school meant I was finally coming of age. Soon I would be on my own, making my own decisions, doing what I wanted and it meant going to school with boys —a welcome change coming from an all-girl high school.There was never any question in my mind that I would go to a coll ege away from home. My mother’s idea, on the another hand, was just the opposite. Trying her best not to force her ideas on me, she would subtly(含蓄地)ask whether I had considered particular schools—all of which happened to be located in or near my hometown of Chicago. Once it was established that, if it was financially feasible(可行的), I would go away anyway, my family’s ideas changed. Their concern shifted from whether I was going away to how far I would go. The schools I was considering on the east Coast suddenly looked far more attractive than those in California.But which college I would attend was just one of what seemed like a never-ending list of unknowns. What would college be like? Would I be unbearably lonely not knowing anyone elsewho was going to the same school?… What if the college I selected turned out to be a horrible mistake?Then panic set in. My feelings took a 180-degree turn.21. Which of the following statements is TRUE about the writer according to the passage?A) She graduated from a high school for girls only.B) She wanted to leave home forever.C) Her hometown is on the West Coast.D) Her family was strongly against her leaving home.22. The writer was excited about her graduation because ________.A) that means she could go to work away from home.B) that means she would be independentC) she could invite her friends homeD) she would be allowed to go out with boys23. The writer’s mother asked her whether she had considered particular schools because her mother wanted ______.A) her to try different schoolsB) her to stay at homeC) her to go to an all-girl collegeD) her to go to a college near home24. The writer would go away from home _______.A) to find a better universityB) if her parents agreed to let her goC) if she had the moneyD) no matter what might happen to her25. Why did the writer’s feeling take a 180-degree turn in the end?A) Because she was not sure about her college life.B) Because she was lonely in her choice of college.C) Because in fact she was afraid of leaving her family.D) Because the college she selected was a horrible mistake.Questions 26-30 are based on the following passage:Early last season, I wrote an article about a random(随意的) act of kindness I had seen Jordan(乔丹) do to a disabled child outside the Stadium(体育馆) after a game.The day after the article was published, I got a call from a man in the western suburbs. He said:”I read what you wrote about Jordan, and I thought I should tell you what I saw.”Here it comes, I thought. It always does. Write something nice about a person, and people call you up to say that the person is not so nice.What the caller said, though, was this: he and his wife had been to a football game, and their car had broken down. They’d had to wait about 45 minutes after the end of the game to get a taxi ride to the suburbs.“We were four blocks from the Stadium in a bad area, and at one corner under a streetlight was Jordan’s car,” the man said, “He was standing outside the car, talking with some boys from the neighborhood. It was late at night, and they were just talking. I thought it was nice of him, but I wonder why he stopped.”A few weeks later Jordan and I were talking about something else before a game, and I brought up what the man had said. Was the man right? Had Jordan really been talking to those two boys in that dark neighborhood?“Not two boys,” Jordan said. “But four. I see them every night.”Every night? Why?He smiled. “If I don’t stop, I’ll go home knowing they’rewaiting for me anyway,” he said. “If you k new my four guys you’d know that they’re going to be out there whether it’s raining or snowing…they’re there.”26. What is the usual reaction if someone is praised according to the writer?A) They will show no interest. C) They will want to know more.B) They will tell something similar. D) They will speak badly of the person.27. The man from the western suburbs called the writer to _______.A) expose Jordan’s secret C) say something good about Jordan.B) tell him about Jordan’s bad side.D) make clear of s ome facts28. What does the word “dark” in Para. 6 mean?A) Distant. C) Wild.B) Backward. D) Dirty.29. Jordan stopped to talk to those boys every night to _______.A) have fun C) keep his promiseB) build up his fame D) avoid disappointing them30. It can be inferred from the passage that _______A) Jordan knows the way to attract fans.B) Jordan is the man who cares about others.C) Jordan is the man wh o doesn’t mind others’ view.D) Jordan tries every means to please the public.Questions 31-35 are based on the following passage:One summer day my father sent me to buy wire and fencing for our farm. At 16, I liked nothing better than getting behind the wheel of our family pickup(小货运车), but this time there wassomething bothering me. My father had told me I’d have to ask for credit(赊款) at the store.Sixteen is a proud age, when a young man wants respect, not pity. It was 1976, and the ugly shadow of racism(种族主义) was still a fact of life in some parts of the country. I’d seen my friends ask for credit and then be rudely asked whether they were “good for it”.My family was honest, we paid our debts. But before harvest, cash was short. Would the store owner trust us?At Davis Brothers General Store, Buck Davis stood behind the register(记帐台)，talking to a farmer. Buck was a tall, weathered man in a red hunting shirt, and I nodded as I passed him on my way to the hardware counter. When I brought my purchases to the register, I said carefully, “I need to put this on credit.”The farmer gave me a strange look. But Buck’s face didn’t change. “Sure”, he said easily. “Your daddy is always god for it.” He turned to the other man. “This boy is one of James Williams’ sons.”The farmer nodded in a friendly way. I was filled with pride. James Williams’ son. Those three wor ds had opened a door to an adult’s respect and trust.That day I discovered that a good name was of great value. The good name my father and mother had earned brought our whole family the respect of our neighbors. Everyone knew what toexpect from a Williams: a decent person who kept his word and respected himself too much to do wrong.31. The writer begins this article with ______.A) a small joke C) a pleasant factB) a personal experience D) a serious comment32.

Reading Comprehension (40 points)Man is a land animal, but he is also closely tied to the sea. Throughout history the sea has served the needs of man. The sea has provided man with food and a convenient way to travel to many parts of the world. Today, experts believe that nearly two-thirds of the world?s population live within eighty kilometers of the seacoast.In the modern technological world the sea offers many resources to help mankind survive. Resources on land are begin ning to grow less. The sea, however, still offers hope to supply many of man?s needs in the future.The riches of the sea yet to be developed by man?s technology are impressive. Oil and gas explorations have existed for nearly thirty years. Valuable amounts of minerals such as iron, copper and so on exist on the ocean floor.Besides oil and gas, the sea may offer new sources of energy. For example, warm temperature of the ocean can be used as the steam in a steamship. Sea may also offer a source of energy as electricity for mankind.Technology is enabling man to explore even deeper under the sea. It is obvious that the technology to harvest the sea continues to improve. By the 2050, experts believe that the problems to explore the food, minerals and energy resources of the sea will have been largel7y solved.61. What is the beat title for the passage?C. Sea and Sources of EnergyD. Sea Exploring Technology.62. It can be inferred from the passage that ______.A. man hasn?t completely made use of the riches of the seaB. technology for exploring the sea has been solvedC. harvesting rice in the sea will be made possibleD. in the near future man can live on the ocean floor63. Why does the author mention a steamship?A. To illustrate that man can make use of sources of energy from the sea.B. To show that a steamship is better than other kinds of ships.C. To argue that man should use steamships.D. To indicate that it is warmer in the ocean than on land.64. According to the author, technology is important because ______.A. resources on land are running short in ten yearsB. man can use it to explore the deeper seaC. it is a lot of fun diving into the seaD. ancient people used it to explore the sea65. According to the author, when will the problems to explore the deeper sea largely be solved?A. In the next generation.B. By the end of the 20th century.C. In the near future.D. By the middle of the 21st century.Question 66 to 70 are based on the following passage:If women are mercilessly exploited (剥削) year after year, they have only themselves to blame. Because they tremble at the thought of being seen in public in clothes that are out of fashion, they are always taken advantage of by the designers and the big stores. Clothes which have been worn only a few times have to be put aside because of the change of fashion. When you come to think of it, only a woman is capable of standing in front of a wardrobe (⾐柜) packed full of clothes and announcing sadly that she has nothing to wear.Changing fashions are nothing more than the intentional creation of waste. Many women spend vast sums of money each year to replace clothes that have hardly been worn. Women who cannot afford to throw away clothing in this way, waste hours of their time altering the dresses they have. Skirts are lengthened or shortened; neck-lines are lowered or raised, and so on.No one can claim that the fashion industry contributes anything really important to society.Fashion designers are rarely concerned with vital things like warmth, comfort and durability (耐⽤). They are only interested in outward appearance and they take advantage of the fact that women will put up with any amount of discomfort, as long as they look right. There can hardly be a man who hasn't at some time in his life smiled at the sight of a woman shaking in a thin dress on a winter day, or delicately picking her way through deep snow in high-heeled shoes.When comparing men and women in the matter of fashion, the conclusions to be drawn are obvious. Do the constantly66. Designers and big stores always make money ________.A. by mercilessly exploiting women workers in the clothing industryB. because they are capable of predicting new fashionsC. by constantly changing the fashions in women's clothingD. because they attach great importance to quality in women s clothing67. To the writer, the fact that women alter their old-fashioned dresses is seen as __.A. a waste of moneyB. a waste of timeC. an expression of tasteD. an expression of creativity68. The writer would be less critical if fashion designers placed more stress on the ____of clothing.A. costB. appearanceC. comfortD. suitability69. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?A. New fashions in clothing are created for the commercial exploitation of women.B. The constant changes in women's clothing reflect their strength of character.C. The fashion industry makes an important contribution to society.D. Fashion designs should not be encouraged since they are only welcomed by women.70. By saying "the conclusions to be drawn are obvious" (Para. 4, Line 1-2), the writer means that_________.A. women's inconstancy in their choice of clothing is often laughed atB. women are better able to put up with discomfortC. men are also exploited greatly by fashion designersD. men are more stable and reliable in characterQuestions 71 to 75 are based on the following passage“I have great confidence that by the end of the decade we?ll know in vast detail how cancer cells arise,” says microbiologist Robert Weinberg, an expert on cancer. “But,” he cautions, “some people have the idea that once one understands the causes, the cure will rapidly follow. Consider Pasteur, he discovered the causes of many kinds of infections, but it was fifty or sixty years before cures were available.”This year, 50 percent of the 910,000 people who suffer from cancer will survive at least five years. In the year 2000, the National Cancer Institute estimates, that figure will be 75 percent. For some skin cancers, the five-year survival rate is as high as 90 percent. But other survival statistics are still discouraging -- 13 percent for lung cancer, and 2 percent for cancer of the pancreas (胰腺).With as many as 120 varieties in existence, discovering how cancer works is not easy. The researchers made great progress in the early 1970s, when they discovered that oncogenes, which are cancer-causing genes (基因), are inactive in normal cells. Anything from cosmic rays to radiation to diet may activate a dormant oncogene, but how remains unknown. If several oncogenes are driven into action, the cell, unable to turn them off, becomes cancerous.The exact mechanisms involved are still mysterious, but the likelihood that many cancers are initiated at the level of genes suggests that we will never prevent all cancers. “Changes are a normal part of the evolutionary process,” says oncologist William Hayward. Environmental factors can never be totally eliminated; as Hayward points out, “We can?t prepare a medicine against cosmic rays.”The prospects for cure, though still distant, are brighter.“First, we need to understand how the normal cell controls itself. Second, we have to determine whether there are a limited number of genes in cells which are always responsible for at least part of the trouble. If we can understand how cancer works, we can counteract its action.”71. The example of Pasteur in the passage is used to__.A. predict that the secret of cancer will be disclosed in a decadeB. indicate that the prospects for curing cancer are brightC. prove that cancer will be cured in fifty to sixty yearsD. warn that there is still a long way to go before cancer can be conquered72. The author implies that by the year 2000, __.A. there will be a drastic rise in the five-year survival rate of skin-cancer patientsB. 90 percent of the skin-cancer patients today will still be livingC. the survival statistics will be fairly even among patients with various cancersD. there won?t be a drastic i ncrease of survival rate of all cancer patients73. Oncogenes are cancer-causing genes__.A. that are always in operation in a healthy personB. which remain unharmful so long as they are not activatedC. that can be driven out of normal cellsD. which normal cells can' t turn off74. Which of the following word can be used to replace the word “likelihood” in Para.3_______A. symptomB. similarityC. probabilityD. potential75. The word "dormant" in the third paragraph most probably means__.A. deadB. ever-presentC. inactiveD. potentialQuestion 76 to 80 are based on the following passage:The current generation of parents must，in many cases，balance care of children with care for their own aging parents. It is estimated that women can now expect their mothers to live 55 years after their own birth and 30 to 40 years after the birth of their first child，many analysts suggest that this added pressure disproportionately touches the women，who already carry major responsibility for their own children.Perhaps the most important issue that emerges from the social trends just described is the impact of family instability andsingle parenting on children. Some argue that single-parent families are a deficient form of family functioning. Others see them as a courageous，desirable alternative to unhappy two-parent families.On average，kids fare better in two-parent families. But a sizable percentage of children in single parent families thrive，and many in two-parent families do not，what matters most – regardless of family structure – is what happens within the family. Particularly important is the family…s ability to support and nurture，minimize conflict，practice democratic decision making，provide consistent and positive forms of discipline and mode，and encourage values of caring and responsibility. Families should also provide access to structured activities （e.g.churchparticipations，clubs，organizations，lessons）and a stimulating environment for learning （including parental involvement in schooling）。

They are especially afraid of large, hairy ones.The largest and most frightening of all spiders is the bird-eating spider, which lives in the hot, thick rain forests of northern South America.Bird-eating spiders are a type of tarantula (狼蛛). They can bite, and the bite is painful, but it will not kill a grown-up. The poisonous bite of a black widow spider is far more dangerous.Bird-eating spiders often hide in holes and under rocks during the day, but at night they creep out and hunt for insects. As you might guess from their name, they also catch birds and eat them.They have another unusual ability.

He grew up in the banks of the Mississippi River and used the pen nameof “Mark Twain”. The two novels brought him his greatest fame: Toni Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn. Another book, Life on the Mississippi, told of his adventures on the river boats of the period.It was during the Civil War that Mark Tw ain‟s life as a writer started. At that time he was working as a newspaper man in Nevada and California. His short story, The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County, was an immediate success and his new life began.In 1870, Mark Twain married Olivia Langdon. He had fallen in love with his wife even before he met her. His wife had a greet influence on Twain‟s later books.Mark Twain was also a very successful lecturer. His travels around the country giving talks on different kinds of subjects helped make him famous and increased the sale of his books.Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn are considered Twain‟s best works. They are marked by humor and satire （讽刺文学，讽刺）and provide his readers with an excellent picture of his time. His last book was completed in 1909, one year before his death.

However, in primitive societies a system of barter was used. Barter was a system of direct exchange of good. Somebody could exchange a sheep, for example, for anything in the market place that he or she considered to be of equal value. Barter, however, was a very unsatisfactory system of exchange, and various money systems developed based on goods that the members of a society recognized as having value. Cattle, grain, teeth, shells, salt, and tobacco had all been used. Precious metals gradually took over because, when made into coins, they were portable, durable, recognizable, and divisible into larger and smaller units of value.A coin is a piece of metal, usually disc-shaped, which bears lettering, designs or numbers showing its value. Until the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, coins were given monetary worth based on the exact amount of metal contained in them, but most modern coins are based on face value—the value that the governments choose to give them, which doesn‟t show the actual metal content. Coins have been made of gold, silver, copper, plastic and in China even from tealeaves. Most governments now issue paper m oney in the form of bills, which are really “promises to pay”. Paper money is obviously easier to handle and much more convenient in the modern world. Checks and credit cards are being used increasingly, and it is possible to imagine a world where “money” in the form of coins and paper currency will no longer be used. Even today, in the United States, many places, especially filling stations will not accept cash at night for security reasons.56. “Barter” (Line 2, Paragraph l) here means.A. exchanging goods for moneyB. exchanging goods for goodsC. exchanging a sheep for anything in the marketD. exchanging money for goods57. Why were precious metals gradually used for making coins?A. Because they were durable and portable.B. Because they were recognizable.C. Because they were divisible.D. All of the above.58. Coins were given value according to the exact amount of metals contained in them .A. before the eighteenth and nineteenth centuriesB. after the eighteenth and nineteenth centuriesC. during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuriesD. between the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries59. “Promises to pay” (Line 6, Paragraph 2) means.A. possibilities to payB. necessities to payC. obligations to payD. opportunities to pay60. A world without any money in the form of coins and paper is .A. suitableB. possibleC. necessaryD. avoidableTask 4 (3 points each; 15 points in all)Directions: This task is the same as Task l (No.61 through No.65).In most lectures, several main ideas are presented. These are the concepts（思想）the lecturer wants the students to remember. Often the lecturer has a general idea that serves as an “umbrella” covering the other main concepts. The students' job, then, is to pick out the main concepts, including the “umbrella” idea.Lecturers usually begin with an introduction. Sometimes the main concepts and the “umbrella” idea are briefly presented in the introduction; often they are not. Next comes the body of the lecture. It is here that the several main concepts are always presented. The final part of a lecture, the conclusion, is traditionally a summary of the main concepts. This is alsothe place where the “umbrella” idea can most easily be repeated, restated, or even introduced for the first time.When a lecture is well organized, with a clear-cut beginning, middle and end, the main ideas are usually easy to pick out. When a lecture is not well organized, getting the gist of what is being said is quite difficult. Some lecturers are “long-winded”, taking a long time to come to the point.Others ramble on (杂乱地漫谈) and never seem to come to the point at all.61. While listening to a lecture, the students are expected to remember .62. A lecture is usually made up of three parts- , and according to this passage.63. Sometimes, both and of a lecture are put forward in the introduction. 64．A lecture with a neatly-planned , and is said to be a well organized lecture.65.

He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle.During the hours when you labour through your work you may say that you’re “hot”. That’s true. The time of day when you feel most e nergetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak. For some people the peak comes during the forenoon. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so, but it leads to such familiar monologues (自言自语) as: “Get up, John! Y ou’ll be late for work again!” The possible explanation to the trouble is that John is at his temperature-and-energy peak in the evening. Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean, and which cycle each member of the family has.You can’t change your energy cycle, but you can learn to make your life it better. Habit can help, Dr. Kleitman believes. Maybe you’re sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway. Counteract (对抗) your cycle to some extent by habitually staying up later than you want to. If your energy is low in the morning but you have animportant job to do early in the day, rise before your usual hour. This won’t change your cycle, but you’ll get up steam (鼓起干劲) and work better at your low point.Get off to a slow start which saves your energy. Get with a leisurely yawl and stretch. Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the trouble some search for clean clothes by laying them out the night before. When ever possible, do routine work in the afternoon and save tasks requiring more energy or concentration for your sharper hours.76.
