Reading Comprehension (60 points)Directions:There are four reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by five questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose one best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneIn ancient times wealth was measured and exchanged in things that could be touched: food, tools, and precious metals and stones. Then the barter system was replaced by coins, which still had real value since they were pieces of rare metal. Coins were followed by fiat money, paper notes that have value only because everyone agrees to accept them.Today electronic monetary systems are gradually being introduced that will transform money into even less tangible forms, reducing it to a series of “bits and bytes”, or units of computerized information, going between machines at the speed of light. Already, electronic fund transfer allows money to be instantly sent and received by different banks, companies, and countries through computers and telecommunications devices.61. Which of the following would be the most appropriate title for the passage?A. International Banking PoliciesB. The History of Monetary ExchangeC. The Development of Paper CurrenciesD. Current Problems in the Economy正确答案是:B 您的答案是:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------62. According to the passage, which of the following was the earliest kind of exchange of wealth?A. Bartered foodsB. Fiat moneyC. Coin currencyD. Intangible forms正确答案是:A 您的答案是:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------63. The author mentions food, tools and precious metals and stones together because they are all ________.A. useful itemsB. articles of valueC. difficult things to obtainD. material objects正确答案是:D 您的答案是:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------64. According to the passage, coins once had real value as currency because they ______.A. represented a great improvement over barterB. permitted easy transportation of wealthC. were made of precious metalsD. could become collector’s items正确答案是:C 您的答案是:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------65. Which of the following statements about computerized monetary systems is NOT supported by the passage?A. They promote international trade.B. They allow very rapid money transfers.C. They are still limited to small transactions (交易).D. They are dependent on good telecommunications systems.Passage Two正确答案是:C 您的答案是:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------At the University of Kansas art museum, scientists tested the effect of different coloredwalls on two groups of visitors to an exhibit of paintings. For the first group the room was painted white; for the second, dark brown. Movement of each group was followed by an electrical equipmentunder the carpet. The experiment showed that those who entered the dark brown walked more quickly, covered more area, and spent less time in the room than people in the white one. Dark brown made people more active, but the activity ended sooner. Not only the choice of colors but also the general appearance of a room affects those inside. Another experiment presented people with photographs of faces whose energy was to be commented. Three groups of people were used; each was shown the same photos, but each group was inan ordinary room—a nice office. The third was in a tastefully designed living room with carpeting. Results showed that the people in the beautiful room tend to give higher marks to the faces than those in the ugly room did. Other studies that students do better on tests taken in comfortable room than in ordinary-looking or ugly rooms.66. Which of the following is the best expression of the main idea of this passage?A. People in beautiful rooms tend to give higher marks to photos of faces than people in ugly roomsB. The color and general appearance of a room have a deeper effect on the behavior of the people in itC. The University of Kansas has studied the effects of the color of room on people’s behaviorD.

At least how many tests were carried out by the scientists referred to in this passage?A. ThreeB. TwoC. Only oneD. No one knows Passage Three正确答案是:A 您的答案是:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------The water we drink and use is running short in the world. We all have to learn how to stop wasting our limited water. One of the steps we should take is to find ways of reusing it. Experiments have already been done in this field.Today in most large cities, fresh water is used only once, then it runs into waste system. But it is possible to pipe the used water to a purifying factory. There it can be filteredand treated with chemicals so that it can be used again, just as it were fresh from a spring.But even if every large city purified and reused its water, we still would not have enough. Then we could turn to the oceans. All we’d have to do to make use of the seawater on earth is to get rid of the salt. This process is called desalinization, and it is already in use in many parts of the world.71. The way to stop wasting our limited water is to ________.A. do experiments with waterB. purify the used water and reuse itC. use fresh water once againD. make use of seawater正确答案是:B 您的答案是:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------72. The following tells us how to reuse the used water. Which is the right order of the passage?A. to have the used water filteredB. to put chemicals in itC. to pipe it to the usersD. to pipe the used water to be purified to a factory正确答案是:A 您的答案是:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------73. There wouldn’t be enough water for us if we didn’t _________.A. turn to the oceans for more waterB. reuse used water and make use of seawaterC. desalt seawaterD. take steps to reuse all water on earth正确答案是:B 您的答案是:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------74. The would “it” in the last sentence refers to _______.A. seawaterB. purified waterC. the process of getting rid of the salt in seawaterD. the process of collecting salt from the sea oceans正确答案是:C 您的答案是:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------75. The best title for the p assage is “_______”.A. How to Reuse WaterB. Two Solutions to the Problem of Water ShortageC. Stop Wasting Our Limited WaterD. How to Make Use of SeawaterPassage Four正确答案是:B 您的答案是:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Some people hate everything that is modern. They cannot imagine how anyone can really like modern music; they find it hard to accept the new fashions in clothing; they think that all modern painting is ugly; and they seldom have a good word for the new buildings that are being built everywhere in the world. Such people look for perfection in everything, and they take their standards of perfection from the past. They are usually impatient with anyone who is brave enough to experiment with new or to express himself or the age in materials original ways. It is, of course, true that many artists do not succeed in their work and instead produce works that can only be considered as failures. If the work of art is a painting, the artist’s failure concern s himself alone, but if it is a building, his failure concerns others too, because it may damage the beauty of the whole place. This does sometimes happen, but it is completely untrue to say, as some people do, that modern architecture is nothing.We can’t judge every modern building by the standards of the ancient time, even though we admire the ancient buildings. Technologically, the modern buildings are more advanced. The modern architect knows he should learn from the ancient works, but with his greater resources of knowledge and materials, he will never be content to imitate the past. He is too proud to do that.76. Some people hate everything that is modern because _______.A. they are agedB. they find it hard to accept modern thingsC. they take their standards of perfection from the GreekD. they look at things by the standards of the past正确答案是:D 您的答案是:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------77. The writer of the passage thinks that ________.A. it is true to say artists fail in their workB. it is untrue to say artists fail in their workC. it is true to say some artists fail in their workD. it is true to say only painters fail in their work正确答案是:C 您的答案是:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------78. The writer thinks the failure of a building _______.A. means nothingB. concerns othersC. concerns only the artistD. concerns all the people in the world正确答案是:B 您的答案是:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------79. The writer thinks that _________.A. we can’t judge buildings by the ancient standardsB. we can’t judge all the buildings by the ancient standardsC. we can’t judge all the modern buildings by the ancient standardsD. w e can’t judge modern buildings正确答案是:C 您的答案是:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------80. Technologically, the modern buildings are more advanced. The sentence means _____.A. the ancient architects had no technologyB. the modern architects use more advanced technologyC. the modern buildings are advanced because they are completely different from the ancient buildingsD. the modern buildings are more beautiful正确答案是:B 您的答案是:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Ⅴ.

They feel really good about the parent support, but they realize it’s impossible for the m to solve this problem.The 22,000-student district discovered the shortage la st month. “It’s extraordinary. Nobody would have imagined something happening like this at this level,” said State Treasurer Mike Coffman.Coffman and district officials last week agreed on a state emergency plan freeing a $9.8 million loan that enabled the payroll(工资单) to be met for 2,700 teachers and staff in time for the holidays.At Coffman’s request, the District Attorney has begun investigating the district’s finances. Coffman says he wants to know whether district officials hid the budget shortage until after the November election., when voters approved a $212 million bond issue for schools.In Frederick, students’ parents are buying classroom supplies and offering to pay for groceries and utilities to keep first-year teachers and principals in their jobs.Some $36,000 has been raised in donations from Safeway. A Chevrolet dealership donated $10,000 and forgave the district’s $10,750 bill for renting the driver educating cars. IBM contributed 4,500 packs of paper.“We employ thousands of people in this community,” said Mitch Carson, a hospital chief executive, who helped raise funds. “We have children in the school, and we see how they could be affected.”At Creek High School, three students started a website that displays newspaper articles,dist rict information and an email forum. “Rumors about what’s happening to the district are moving at lighting speed,” said a student. “We wanted to know the truth, and spread that around instead.”31. What has happened to the Vrain School District?A) A huge financial problem has arisen.B) Many schools there are mismanaged.C) Lots of teachers in the district are planning to quit.D) Many administrative personnel have been laid off.32. How did the residents in the Vrain School District respond to the budget shortage?A)They felt somewhat helpless about it.B) They accused those responsible for it.C) They pooled their efforts to help solve it.D) They demanded a through investigation.33.In the view of State Treasurer Mike Coffman, the educational budget shortage is_________.A) unavoidable B) unthinkable C) insolvable D) irreversible34.Why did Coffman request an investigation?A) To see if there was a deliberate cover-up of the problem.B) To find out the extent of the consequences of the case.C) To make sure that the school principals were innocent.35.Three high school students started a website in order to__________.A) attract greater public attention to their needsB) appeal to the public for contributions and donationsC) expose officials who neglected their dutiesD) keep people properly informed of the crisisTask 2Directions: Question 36 to 40 are based on the following passage, after reading it, you should make the correct choice and write your answer in the Answer sheet.“Humans should not try to avoid stress any more than they would shun food, love or exercise.” Said Dr. Hans Selye, the fir st physician to document the effects of stress on the body. While here’s on question that continuous stress is harmful, several studies suggest that challenging situations in which you’re able to rise to the occasion can be good for you..In a 2001 study of 158 hospital nurses, those who faced considerable work demands but coped with the challenge were more likely to say they were in good health than those who felt they stress that you can manage also boost immune function. In a study at the Academic Center for Dentistry in Amsterdam, researchers put volunteers through two stressful experiences. In the first, a timed task that required memorizing a list followed by a short test, subjects through a gory(血淋淋的) video on surgical procedures. Those who did well on the memory test had an increase in levels of immunoglobulin A, an antibody that’s the body’s first line of defense against germs. The video-watchers experienced a downturn in the antibody.Stress prompts the body to produce certain stress hormones. In short bursts these hormones have a positive effect, including improved memory function. “They can help nerve cells handle information and put it into storage,” says Dr. Bruce McEwen of Rockefeller University in New York. But in the long run these hormones can have a harmful effect on the body and brain.“Sustained stress is not good for you,” says Richard Morimoto, a researcher at Northwestern University in Illinois studying the effects of stress on longevity ,”It’s the occasional burst of stress or brief exposure to stress that could be protective.”36.

At first this may seem an attractive possibility. But when we consider it in detail. We find thee are many problems invloved.A distinction is usually made between “negative” and “positive”genetic engineering. In negative genetic engineering we try to eliminate harmful genes to produce genetically normal people. The aim is of course a desirable one, however it does pose the problem of what a harmful gene is . genes are not really either “good” or “bad”. The gene which causes certain forms of anaemia for example, can also protect againse malaria. If we eliminate this gene we may get rid of anaemia, but we increase the risk of malaria.In positive genetic engineering we try to create better people by developing the so-called “good”genes. But although this form of genetic engineering will give us greater control over mankind’s future, there are several reasons for caution. First there is the possibility of mistakes. While accepting that geneticists are responsible people, we must also admit that things can go wrong, the result being the king of monster we read about in horror stories. Secondly, there is the problem of deciding what makes a “better”person. We may feel, for example, that if genetic engineering can create more intelligent people, then this is good thing. On the other hand, intelligence does not necessarilly lead to happiness. Do we really want to create people who are intelligent, but perhaps unhappy?The basic question is whether or not we should interfere with human life. We can argue that much human progress (prarticularly in medicine) involves interference with life. To some extent this is true, but we should not forget the terrible consequences genetic engineering can have. Consider for example the possibilities of genetic warfare., in which our enemies try to harm us using the techniques of genetic engineering.41. what do you think about genes?A) They are “good”B) They are neither “good” nor “bad”.C) They are harmful.D) They are both “good” and “bad”.42. Which kind of genes can protect against malaria?A) All kinds of genes.B) The so-called “good” genes.43. The study of genetics _______.A) has produced supermanB) is a miracle ideaC) is highly developedD) has made little achievement44. Genetic engineering can create ______.A) better personsB) monstersC) happier personD) either better persons or monsters45. The author’s attidtude toward the study of genetics is ______.A) cautious B) curious C) angry D) impersonalTask 4Directions: The following is an instruction from the Operation Manual of a VCD player.

You should make the corrected choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.The better defined your hiring process is, the more easily, it will be adhered to. I suggest that you use a multi-stage interviewing process by which the candidate meets with multiple people to provide different opinions and input on the hiring-decision. Again, keep all notes taken during theinterview. These notes should be factual and should detail bservations made by the people conducting the interview as well as quotations of the candidate’s reponses to questions．There should be no inferences made about a candidate in any notes，and no notes should be taken on a resume（简历）．Pre-determine three to six questions that will help you uncover the capability of each applicant and ask those same questions to each person that is interviewed．These initial questions will serve as a departure point to base other follow-up questions on. By using the same question in different ways and you will also be able to draw close com parisons between each candidate’s responses，which will help you determine the best match for the position.Developing that interviewing process a little further, time limits should be set on responses to candidates．Today’s job market changes so rapidly that waiting more than 72 hours to inform a candidate how he or she did in an interview is an eternity（永远）. Many candidates have multiple interviews within one or two days and plan to take the first job offered that meets their salary and benefits demands. Hired or not, as a candidate, it is much easier to keep a positive frame of mind about a company that is responsive, shows an interest in your success as an individual, and provides feedback （反馈）about an interview within one or two days. Waiting to make a decision about candidates is how other companies manage to hire the “perfect fit”right out from under you!26. As for an interview, the author suggests that .A. there should be more than one interviewer in the interviewing processB. only the applicants’ responses to questions should be noted and recorded.C. interviewers should make some notes on the margins of the candidates’ resumesD. interviewers should ask whatever questions that may help decide the perfect fit27. The passage i s m ai nly about .A. how to pre-determine questions in an interviewB. how to respond to candidates after an interviewC. how to arrange the interviewing process properlyD. how to decide the best match during an interview28. By "waiting more than 72 hours to inform a candidate how he or she did in aninterview is an eternity" in Line 2 of Paragraph 3, the author means .A. it’s boring for a candidate to wait more than 72 hours to know the result of aninterviewB. it’s too long to keep a candidate waiting over 72 hours to know the result of theinterviewC. it's necessary for a candidate to wait 72 more hours because it takes time to makedecisionsD. it's outdated to inform the candidates the result of the interview after more than72 hours29. According to the passage, tine limits should be set on responses to candidatesmainly because .A. today’s job market changes very rapidlyB. candidates usually attend many interviewsC. it helps interviewers gain the initiative to hire the perfect matchD. candidates finds it boring to wait a 'long time to know the result30．"The phrase "departure point'，in Line 3 of Paragraph 2 refers to .A. the conclusion pointB. the starting pointC. the leaving pointD. the Central point’Task 2Directions: This task is the same as Task 1．The 5 questions or unfinished statements are Numbered 31 through 35.Y ou should make the corrected choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre．One hundred and thirteen million Americans have at least one bank-issued credit card.. They give their owners automatic credit in stores, restaurants, and hotels at home, across the country, and -even abroad; and they make many banking services available as well. More and more of these credit cards can be read automatically, making it possible to withdraw or deposit money in scattered-locations, whether or not the local branch bank is .open. For many of us the "cashless society" is not on the `horizon--it's already here.While computers offer these conveniences to consumers, they have many advantages for sellers too. Electronic cash registers can do much more simply ring up sales. They can keep a wide range of records, including who sold what, when, and to whom. This information allows businessmen to keep track of their list of goods by showing which items are being sold :and how fast they are moving. Decisions to reorder or return goods to suppliers can then be made. At the same time these computers record which hours ate busiest and which employees are the most efficient ,allowing. personnel and staffing assignments to be made accordingly. And they also identify preferred customer for promotional campaigns. Computers are relied on by .manufacturers for similar `reasons: Computer-analyzed marketing reports can help to decide which products to emphasize now, -which to develop for the future, and which to drop .Computers keep track of goods in stock, of raw materials on hand, and even. of the production process: itself.Numerous other commercial enterprises, from theaters to magazine publishers, from, gas and electric utilities to milk processors, bring better end more efficient services to consumers through the use of computers.31. According: to the passage, the credit card enables its owner to .A. withdraw as much money from the bank as he wishes.B. obtain more convenient services than other people do.C. enjoy greater trust from the storekeeper.D. cash money wherever he wishes to.32. From the last sentence of the first paragraph we learn that .A. in the future all the Americans will use credit cards.B. credit cards are mainly used in the United States today.C. nowadays many Americans do not pay in cash.D. it is now more convenient to use credit cards than before.33. The phrase "ring up sales" most probably means .A. make an order of goods.B. record sales on a cash register.C. call the sales manager.D. keep track of the goods in stock.34. What is this passage mainly about?A. Approaches to the commercial use of computers.B. Conveniences brought about by computers in business.C. Significance of automation in commercial enterprises.D . Advantage of credit cards in business．35. It can be inferred that .A. computers will bring disaster.B. computer industry will not develop faster.C. computers will bring about more convenience to people's 1ife;．D. computers will replace human beings in the future．Task 3Directions: Read the. following passage．After reading it; you should give brief answers to the 5 questions (No. 36 to No. 40). The answers should bewritten after the corresponding numbers on the Answer Sheet.Although. credit cards are becoming more .acceptable part of the financial scene, they are still regarded with suspicion by many as being a major part of the “live now pay later" syndrome. Along With hire; purchase, rental and leasing schemes, they provide encouragement to spend more money. Of course, it is only the foolhardy who succumb to the temptation to live, temporarily at least; beyond their means, and such people would not doubt manage to do so even without credit cards.Advertising campaigns have, however, promoted a growing realization of the advantages of these small pieces of plastic. They obviate the need to carry large. amounts of cash and are always useful in emergencies. All the credit card organizations charge interest on a monthly basis which may work out as high as 25 percent a year, yet judicious purchasing using a card can mean that you obtain up to seven weeks interest free credit. Using the card abroad where items frequently take a long time to be included on your account can extend the period even further.It is worthwhile shopping around before deciding on particular credit card. I t’s necessary to consider the amount of credit granted interest rates which may vary slightly the number and range of outlets though most cards cover major garages, hotels, restaurants and departments stores and of course what happens if your card is lost or stolen. A credit card thief may be sitting on a potential gold mine particularly if there is delay in reporting the loss of the card.However, if used wisely, a credit card can cost nothing or at least help to tide you over a period of financial difficulty.36. Many people suspect that credit cards lure people to .37. The author seems to believe that even in the absence of credit cards, some people would undoubtedly .38. In Para. 2, in addition to the advantages of no need to carry cash and being usefulin emergency, what else is said to be the advantage of credit cards?.39. What’s the main i dea of Para 3？40. The author holds a attitude towards credit cards.Task 4Directions：Read the following passage and complete the outline below it (No．41 through No. 45).Y ou should write your answers briefly on the answer sheet correspondingly.During the holiday break, I finally got around to a promise I made to my mom and dad—to remotely access their PC—to help troubleshoot problems or questions they have about their Dell laptop.A while ago, I download GoToMyPC on my, computer, which allows you to access your computer from any other computer. The other day, my mom logged into my account, which brought her to a "My Computers" page of a three-PC account. She clicked on "enable this computer," to install the GoToMyPC software. Within minutes, I saw her computer listed on the" My Computers" page; clicked on it, and her computer home page popped up in a. window on my screen.They're in Florida, I’m in New Jersery, but I could easily replace a toolbar that disappeared from their screen and desktop icons my mom wished she hadn’t cleared away.I also like that I'll be .able to do some basic maintenance on their computer from my home hundreds of miles away. And if my mom has questions, we can be looking at her computer together while on the phone.GoToMyPC costs $20 a month for one computer, or $179.40 a year. Two PCs cost $30 a month or $279.40. For each additional PC, it’s $15 a month or $135 a year. But reader and Chris Null have also recommended a free application, Microsoft Windows Remote Desktop; which is part of Windows XP Professional and Media Center.Y ou need to manually type in the IP address of the host computer. Here’s the Microsoft instructions page if you want to check out this option.Other reader suggested another free app, LogMeIn, which gets good reviews for providing remote access and file sharing between computers．If you’ve used either free remote access option, let us know how it's worked out．Technology ReviewThe first device reviewed: 41Functions of the first device:a)enables one to 42 of another PC remotely;b)allows one to access one’s computer from elsewhere;c)enables basic maintenance from a distance.Cost of the first decice to be installed in 3 PCs: 43Difference between the other two devices recommended and the first one:They’r e 44Reviews are still needed from reader about 45Part IV Translation from English into Chinese46．Some people would like to do shopping on Sundays since they expect to pick up wonderful bargains.A．有些人愿意周日逛街，因为他们觉得这样能够检到大便宜。

of reading and writing.It is often tempting to hurry the child beyond his natural learning rate,but this can set up dangerous feelings of failure and states of worry in the child.Thismight happen at any stage.A baby might be forced to use a toilet too early,a young child might be encouraged to learnto read before he knows the meaning of the words he reads.On the otherhand,though,if a child is left alone too much,or without any learning opportunities,he loses his natural enthusiasm for life and his desire to find out new things for himself.?ァ?Parents vary greatly in their degree of strictness towards their children.Somemay be especially strict in money matters.Others are sever over times of coming home at night or punctuality for meals.In general,the controls imposed represent the needs of the parents and the values of the community as much as the child's own happiness.dtheir morals can be a dangerous disappointment.11.Eagerly watching the child's acquisition of new

skills parents______.Ashould encourage them to read before they know the meaning of the words they readBshould not expect too much of themCshould achieve a balance between pushing them too hard and leaving them on their ownDshould create as many learning opportunities as possible13.The second paragraph mainly tells us that______.Aparents should be strict with their childrenBparental controls reflect only the needs of the parents and the values of the communityCparental restrictions vary,and are not always enforced for the benefit of the children aloneDparents vary in their strictness towards their children according to the situation14.The word"precept"(Line3,Para.3probably means"______".Aidea Bpunishment Cbehaviour Dinstruction15.In moral matters,parents should_______.Aobserve the rules themselvesBbe aware of the marked difference between adults and childrenCforbid things which have no foundation in moralityDconsistently ensure the security of their childrenQuestions16to20are based on the following passage:A good modern newspaper is an extraordinary piece of reading.It is remarkable first for what it contains:the range of news from local crime to international politics,from sport to business toAs regards the development of moral standards in the growing child,consistencyis very important in parental teaching.To forbid a thing one day and excuse it the next is no foundation for morality(道德.Also,parents should realize that"example is better than precept".If they are not sincere and do not practise what they preach(说教,their children may growconfused,and emotionally insecure when they grow old enough to think for themselves,and realize they have been to some extent fooled.?ァ?A sudden awareness of a marked difterence between their parents'principles andfashion to science,and the range of comment and special features(特定as well,from editorial page to feature articles and interviews to criticism of books,art,theatre and music.A newspaper is even more remarkable for the way one reads it:never completely,never straight through,but always by jumping from here to there,in and ont glancing at one piece,reading another article all the way through,reading just a few paragraphs of the next.A good modern newspaper offers a variety to attract many different readers,but far more than any one reader is interesied in.What brings this variety together in one place is its topicality(时事性,its immediate relation to what is happening in your world and your locality now.But immediacy and the speed of production that goes with it mean also that much of what appears in a newspaper has no more thantransient(短暂的value.For all these reasons,no two people really read the same paper: what each person does is to put together out of the pages of that day's paper,his own selection and sequence,his own news paper.For all these reasons,reading newspapers efficiently, which means getting what you want from them without missing things you need but without wasting time,demands skill and selfawareness as you modify and apply the techniques of reading16.A modern newspaper is remarkable for all the following except its______.Awide coverage Buniform styleCspeed in reporting news Dpopularity17.According to the passage,the reason why no two people really read the"same"newspaper is that______.Apeople scan for the news they are interested

that newspaper readers______.Aapply reading techniques skillfullyBjump from one newspaper to anotherCappreciate the variety of a newspaperDusually read a newspaper selectively19.A good newspaper offers"a variety"to readers because______.Ait tries to serve different readersBit has to cover things that happen in a certain localityCreaders are difficult to pleaseDreaders like to read different newspapers20.The best title for this passage would be"______".AThe lmportance of Newspaper TopicalityBThe Characteristics of a Good NewspaperCThe Variety of a Good NewspaperDSome Suggestions on How to Read a NewspaperQuestions21to25are based on the following passage:?ァ?American society is not nap(午睡friendly.In fact,says David Dinges,a sleep specialist at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine."There's even a prohibition against admitting we need sleep".Nobody wants to be caught napping or found asleep at work.To quote a proverb: "Some sleep five hours,nature requires seven,laziness nine and wickedness eleven."Wrong.The way not to fall asleep at work is to take naps when you need them."We have to totally change our attitude toward napping",says Dr.William Dement of Stanford Univereity,the godfather of sleep research.?ァ?Last year a national commission led by Dement identified an"American sleep debt"which one member said was as important as the national debt,The s concerned about the dangers of sleepiness:people causing industrial accidents or falling asleep while driving.This may be why we have a new sleep policy in the White House.According to recent reports,president Clinton is trying to take a half?瞙our snooze(打瞌睡every afternoon.?ァ?About60percent of American adults nap when given the opportunity.We seem to have"a midafternoon quiet phase"also called"a secondary sleep gate."Sleeping15minutes to two hours in the early afternoon can reduce stress and make us refreshed.Clearly,we were born to nap.?ァ? We Superstars of Snooze don't nap to replace lost shut?瞖ye or to prepare for anight shift.Rather,we"snack"on sleep,whenever,wherever and at whatever time we feel like it.I myself have napped in buses,cars,planes and on boats;on floors and beds;and in libraries, offices and museums.21.It is commonly accepted in American society that too much sleep is______.Aunreasonable Bcriminal Charniful Dcostly22.The research done by the Dement commission shows that Americans______.Adon't like to take napsBare terribly worried about their national debtCsleep less than is good for themDhave caused many industrial and traftic accidents23.The purpose of this article is to______.Awarn us of the wickedness of nappingBexplain the danger of sleepinessCdiscuss the side effects of nappingDconvince the reader of the necessity of napping24.The"American sleep debt"(Line1,Para.3is the result of______.Athe traditional misconception the Americans have about sleepBthe new sleep policy of the Clinton AdministrationR>Cthe rapid development of American industryDthe Americans'worry about the danger of sleepiness25.The second sentence of the last paragraph tells us that it is______.Apreferable to have a sound sleep before a night shiftBgood practice to eat something light before we go to bedCessential to make up for cost sleepDnatural to take a nap whenever we feel the need for itQuestions26to30are based on the following passage:?ァ?Violin prodigies(神童,I learned,have come in distinct waves from distinct regions.Most of the湖北专升本网更多试题、资料请到专升本论坛下载： great performers if the late 19th and early 20th centuries were born and brought up in Russia and Eastern Europe. I asked Isaac Stern, one of the world's greatest violinists the reason for this phenomenon. "It is very clear," he told me. "They were all Jews(犹太人 and Jews at the time were severely oppressed and ill treated in that part of the world. They were not allowed into the professional fields, but they were allowed to achieve excellence on aconcert stage. " As a result, every Jewish parent's dream was to have a child in the music school because it was a passport to the West. ?ァ? Another element in the emergence of prodigies, I found, is a society that values excellence in a certain field to nurture (培育 talent. Nowadays, the most nurturing societies seem to be in the Far East. "In Japan, a most competitive society, with stronger discipline than ours. " says Isaac Stem, children are ready to test their limits every day in many fields, including music. When Western music came to Japan after World War Ⅱ, that music not only became part of their daily lives, but it became a discipline as well. The Koreans and Chinese as we know, are just as highly motivated as the Japanese. ?ァ? That's a good thing, because even prodigies must work hard. Next to hard work, biological inheritance plays an important role in the making of a prodigy. J. S. Bach, for example, was the top of several generations of musicians, and four of his sons had significant careers in music.26.Jewish parents in Eastern Europe longed for their children to attend music school because ______ . A it would allow them access to a better life in the West B Jewish children are born with excellent musical talent C they wanted their children to enter into the professional field D it would enable the family to get better treatment in their own country 27.Nurturing societies as mentioned in the passage refer to societies that ______ .A enforce strong discipline on students who want to achieve excellenceB treasure talent and provide opportunities for its full developmentC encourage people to compete with each otherD promise talented children high positions 28.Japan is described in the passage as a country that attaches importance to ______ . A all?瞨 ound development. B the learning of Western music C strict training of children D variety in academic studies29.Which of the following contributes to the emergence of musical prodigies according to the passage? A A natural gift. B Extensive knowledge of music. C Very early training.D A prejudice?瞗 ree society. 30.Which of the following titles best summarises the main idea of the passage?

中国大学生英语竞赛样题听力原文及答案

2008年全国大学生英语竞赛样题（C级）听力原文及参考答案听力原文Part I Listening Comprehension Section ADirections: In this section, you will hear 5 short conversations. At the end of each conversation, a question will be asked about what was said. Both the conversation and the question will be read only once. After each question, there will be a pause. During the pause, you must read the three choices marked A, B and C, and decide which is the best answer. Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet witha single line through the centre.1. M: I have passed the test of spoken English and I wonder if I can get the job of the teaching assistant.W: Yes, certainly. But if only you had sent in your application in time. Q: What does the woman imply?2. W: Oh, Jack. You're so formally dressed today, a black jacket, a white shirt and a red tie. Are you going to take a picture?M: No, this is my first day in the new section of the company and I have to see my new boss today.Q: What is Jack going to do today?3. M: Excuse me, but has anyone turned in a brown briefcase? I've lost my briefcase. It contains my documents for the conference, and they are pretty important to me.W: Yes. We had a briefcase brought in this morning. Wait here just a minute, please.Q: What will the woman probably do?4. M: Hi, little sister, how is your first month away in university?W: Well, I have to say that the dorm life has some major negatives. Some of the rules are too strict. Like, we have to be back in the building by 10 p.m. What I really cannot stand is that we eight girls share a room as small as our home kitchen.Q: What is the girl complaining about?5. M: Oh, Susan, you look quite different from what I saw you two years ago.W: Sure, I started jogging regularly one year ago and my weight went from 243 pounds to the 160 pounds now. And that's how I get the figure today.Q: What do we know about the woman?Section BDirections: In this section, you will hear two long conversations. Each conversation will be read only once. At the end of each conversation,there will be a one-minute pause. During the pause, you must read the five questions, each with three choices marked A, B and C, and decide which is the best answer. Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.Conversation OneW: Good morning, Mr. Lombard. Thank you for taking the time to receive us.M: Oh, my pleasure.W: The French Culture Year is soon to open in China. We are looking forward to it. Could you please introduce your plan for the great event? M: I'm glad to hear that you are so interested in French Culture. France seldom organizes similar activities abroad, and holding such a huge culture year in China means a new experience for us.We value the experience and are dedicated to bring about large-scale activities with diversified subjects, including 200 exhibitions, which cover exhibition of French cultural relics, modern stage arts and achievements in science and technology.W: That would be great. Have you ever considered making more Chinese audience see the exhibitions and shows because China is such a big country with a huge population?M: Yes. Making the French culture approach the Chinese public is the key to success. We will arrange some large activities such as the Forbidden City Concert at the opening ceremony and the “Great Lunch”at the foot of the Great Wall whereby tens of thousands of people will taste delicacies from France.W: Terrific! People are sure to appreciate them.M: I hope so. And the activities of the culture year are not staged in Beijing and Shanghai only. Other cities like Guangzhou, Chengdu, Wuhan and Shenzhen will see such activities too. Last but may be the most important, we will make full use of television which is the media with most audience. Many important programs will be showed on TV. W: Yes. TV shows will certainly contribute a lot to the success of the French Culture year activities... Thank you for your important information about the coming French Culture Year.M: You are always welcome. And thank you for interviewing me. Conversation TwoM: Hello, everyone! Today, English teacher Nina Weinstein is back to talk about some ways to sound less formal in a casual conversation. Nina, please.W: Well, generally speaking, whenever we have the chance to use a two-word verb, that is kind of an instant way to sound more informal and more natural.M: Why don't you give a couple of examples?W: “Get together”: “Let's get together for a meeting this weekend”rather than “Let's meet this weekend. And we say, “Let's set upa meeting” rather than “Let's arrange a meeting.”M: So “get together” instead of “meet”, “set up” instead of “arrange”. Adding one word kind of softens them a little bit.W: Right, it makes it more informal. We a lso say “I'm tied up next week” rather than “I'm busy next week”. Busy, we have many, many ways to say “I'm busy”, “I have a lot on my plate,” “I have a million things to do,” “I have a ton of paperwork.” So all of these very colorful idioms sound more like a native speaker, more informal and more natural.M: Although actually, just going back to the word “busy” for a second, I mean that doesn't sound too bad if you say “I'm busy next week.” You could say “I'm tied up,” but...W: You can say “I'm busy”. B ut if that's the only way you can say it, it makes your vocabulary sound as if it's pretty limited.M: Well, is there any difference between “I'm busy” and “I'm tied up”? W: Well, “I'm tied up” - that's much different than “I'm busy.” There's a meaning that I cannot change whatever it is I'm doing. For instance, if you call a company and you ask for Mr. Jones and they say “I'm sorry, he's tied up in a meeting,” the implied meaning is that you cannot interrupt him. We don't want to just say “I'm busy” beca use then it doesn't carry that implication.M: So we've talked about sounding more natural. But as you point out, there's something else traditionally important when talking to Americans - that is, making eye contact.W: In some cultures it's not considered polite to look in the person's eyes when they're talking to you. But in our culture, if you don't make eye contact and look at their eyes when they're talking, the speaker might feel that you're bored or you're not listening. And so this is really important. Or, in business, they might not feel like you're telling the truth.M: If you're looking away? W: If you're looking away. Exactly.M: Nina Weinstein comes to us from the VOA bureau in Los Angeles and I'm Avi Arditti, until next time. Good-bye.Section CDirections: In this section, you will hear 5 short news items. After each item, there will be a pause. During the pause, you must read the question and then the three choices marked A, B and C, and decide which is the best answer. Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.16. The environmental group the WWF says it will take at least two decades for new forests in areas of Greece destroyed by recent fires to grow back. The fires which killed 65 people raged across much of southern Greece in August. The WWF director in Greece DimitrisKaravellas told BBC that they would establish a group of lawyers to intervene if lands developers try to take advantage of the disaster. 17. When Jimmy Carter left the White House in 1981, he returned to his home state of Georgia as a defeated politician, unable to win a second term in office. Like most former presidents, he planned to focus his efforts on a presidential library. With his wife Rosalynn, they also formed an idea to create a place to resolve international disputes, modeled after the Camp David presidential retreat.18. A homemade bomb has exploded in a busy park in the capital of the Maldives, Male, injuring 12 tourists. A government spokesman Mohamed Shareef said it was taking the attack very seriously as tourism was the lifeblood of the Maldives.19. WHO Director-General Margaret Chan says many sick people in developing countries die because they cannot afford medicine that can cure them. In some cases, she says, resistance to diseases develops because they fail to be treated promptly and properly. She blames much of this on the inability of the poor to get hold of the medicine and health care they need.20. California's wildfires sent millions of tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. University of Colorado researchers report that from October 19th to the 26th, an estimated 8.7 million tons of the global warming gas were released. Armed with that report, a key U.S. Housecommittee on energy and warming sought answers from a panel of scientists.Section DDirections: In this section, you will hear a short passage. There are ten missing words or phrases in it. Fill in the blanks with the exact words you hear on the tape. Remember to write the answers on the Answer Sheet.A researcher says lead in the environment could be a major cause of violence by young people. Doctor Herbert Needleman is a professor at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine in Pennsylvania and he presented his findings at the yearly meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. Doctor Needleman says the presence of lead in the brain changes the neurons that control actions and that can cause a person to act in antisocial and criminal ways.In the 1970s, Doctor Needleman found lower scores on intelligence tests even in children who did not have such signs of lead poisoning. After that, lead was removed from gasoline and paint in the United States. Yet many homes still have old lead paint. Lead was also used in older water pipes. In fact, officials just announced stronger testing and reporting requirements as from next year for lead in American drinking water.The newest research shows that even very small amounts of lead in bones can affect brain development. A simple blood test can measure lead except that an X-ray process is needed to measure levels in bone. In 2004, such tests were done on 190 young people who were in jail and the findings showed that their average levels were higher than normal. And, in 1998, three hundred children were studied and the test scores showed higher levels of aggression and learning problems in those with increased levels of lead. Yet these levels were still considered safe by the government.参考答案：Part I Listening ComprehensionSection A1. B2. A3. B4. A5. CSection B6. B7. A8. C9. A10. B11. C12. A13. A14. B1 5. C Section C16.

Reading Comprehension (40points)Directions: There are 4passages in this part. Each passage id followed by some questions unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Y ou are required to choose the ONE that best fits into the statement. Mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.Passage1Questions45-50 are based on the following passage.There was a time when, if a lady got into a crowded bus or train, a gentleman would immediately stand up and offer her his seat. Today a gentleman will probably look out of the window or hide behind his newspaper. Either way, the lady will have to stand until someone gets off.Y ou can’t entirely blame men for these changes in manners .Te days are gone when women could be treated as the weaker sex. A whole generation of women has grown up demanding equality with men; not just equality in jobs or education, but in social attitudes. Hold a door open for some doors for themselves. Take a girl out for a meal and she’ll probably insist on paying her share of the bill.It’s no wonder, then, that men have given up some of the gestures of politeness and consideration which they used to show towards women. On the other hand, man’s politeness is perhaps slowly being replaced by more consideration for the needs and feelings of women, so that men can see women as equal human beings.46. What will gentlemen nowadays do when a lady gets on a crowded bus or train?A. They will stand up reluctantly.B. They willC. They willD. They will47. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A.

Why are some women likely to get angry as a man holds the door open for them?A. Because they think they are looked down upon.B. Because they are treated too politely.C. Because the man should not hold the door open.D. Because men often offend women in this manner.49. What is replacing men’s gestures of politeness?A. More graceful politeness towards women.B. More consideration for women’s needs and feelings.C. More impolite gestures of social behavior to women.D. More equal treatment to women in every respect.50. What can we learn form this passage?A. Men ought to make gestures of politeness towards women.B. Women ought to make gestures of politeness towards men.C. Women have achieved equality with men.D. Men are beginning to treat women as equal human beings.Passage 2Questions51-55 are based on the following passage.With the growth of the information Superhighway, a logical development in the job searching process is the electric resume. Electronic resumes can be e-mail to employers, posted on electronic resume database，and cut-and-pasted into any place where you are asked for an online resume.

Beyond help for your resume, online career resources for job seekers include how to have a successful interview and how to find the right job for you.

The author’s purpose of writing the passage is _______A. to help people to find the right jobB. to help employers to find a potential candidateC. to show the way a resume is preparedD. to introduce the electronic resumePassage3Questions56-60 are based on the following passage.Do you know how to use mobile phone without being rude to the people around you ?Talking during a performance irritates(激怒)people. If you are expecting an emergency call,sit near the exit doors and set your phone to vibrate(振动).When your mobile phone vibrates, you can leave quietly and let the others enjoy the performance.Think twice before using mobile phones in elevators, museums, churches or other indoor public places---especially enclosed spaces. Would you want to listen to someone’s conversation in these places? Worse yet, how would you feel if a mobile phone rang suddenly during a funeral! It happens more often than you think. A void these embarrassing situations by making sure your mobile phone is switched off.When eating at a restaurant with friends, don’t place your mobile phone on the table. This conveys the message that your phone calls are more important than those around you .Mobile phones have sensitive microphones that allow you to speak at the volume you would on a regular phone. This enables you to speak quietly so that others won’t hear the details of your conversation. If you are calling in a noisy area, use your hand to direct your direct your voice into the microphone.56. What should you do when you need to answer a phone call during a performance?A.

Y ou are supposed to turn off your mobile phone at a funeral.D. you are supposed to use your mobile phone as much as possible.Passage4Questions61-65 are based on the following passage.If you want to stay young, sit down and have a good think. This is the research result of Professor Faulkner, who says that most of our brains are not getting enough exercise and as a result, we are ageing unnecessarily soon.Professor Faulkner wanted to find out why wealthy farmers in northern Japan appeared to be losing their ability to think and to reason at relatively early age, and how the process of ageing could be slowed down.He set about measuring brain volumes of a thousand people of different ages and occupations.Computer technology enabled him to obtain precise measurements of the volume of the front and side sections of the brain, which relate to intelligence and emotion, and determine the human character.Contraction of front and side parts---as cells die off---was observed in some subjects in their thirties, but it was still not evident in some sixty and seventy-years-olds.Faulkner concluded from his tests that there is a simple way to slow the contraction---using the head.The findings show that contraction of the brain begins sooner in people in the country than in the towns. Those least at risk, says Faulkner, are lawyers, followed by university professors and doctors. Whit-collar workers doing routine work are, however, as likely to have shrinking brains as the farm workers, bus drivers and shop assistants.Faulkner’s findings show that thinking can prevent the brain from shrinking. Blood must circulate properly in the head to supply the fresh oxygen the brain cells need “The best way to maintain good blood circulation is through using the brain,” he says. “Think hard and engage in conversation. Don’t rely on pocket calculators”.61. Professor Faulkner wanted to find out______A. how people’s brains shrinkB. the way of making people live longerC. the size of certain people’s brainsD. why certain people aged sooner than others62. Faulkner’s research finding are based on _____A. a survey of farmers in northern JapanB. tests performed on a thousand old peopleC. the study of brain volumes of different peopleD. the latest development of computer technology63. The underlined word “subjects” in paragraph 5 means _______A. branches of knowledge studied in a schoolB. something to be consideredC. persons experimented onD. citizens in a country64. The professor’s findings show that ______A. our brains shrink as we grow oldB. the front section of the brain does not shrinkC. Seventy-year-olds have better brains than sixty-year-oldsD. thinking can slow down the process of ageing65. According to the passage, which group of people seem to age slower than the others?A. FarmersB. LawyersC. ClerksD. Shop assistantsV. Cloze (15 point)Directions: There are 15 blanks in the follow passage. For each there are four choices marked A,B,C and D.Y ou are required to choose the ONE that best fits into the passage.
