Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage OneQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.Antarctica has actually become a kind of space station—a unique observation post for detecting important changes in the world’s environment.S1 Remote from major sourc es of pollution and the complex geological and ecological systems that prevail elsewhere, Antarctica makes possible scientific measurements that are often sharper and easier to interpret than those made in other parts of the world.Growing numbers of scientists therefore see Antarctica as a distant early warning sensor, where potentially dangerous global trends may be spotted before they show up to the north. One promising field of investigation is glaciology. Scholars from the United States, Switzerland, and France are pursuing seven separate but related projects that reflect their concern for the health of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet—a concern they believe the world at large should share.The Transantarctic Mountain, some of them more than 14,000 feet high, divide the continent into two very different regions. The part of the continent to the “east” of the mountains is a high plateau covered by an ice sheet nearly two miles thick. “West” of the mountain, the half of the continent south of the Americas is also covered by an ice sheet, but there the ice rests on rock that is mostly well below sea level. If theWest Antarctic Ice Sheet disappeared, the western part of the continent would be reduced to a sparse cluster of island.While ice and snow are obviously central to many environmental experiments, others focus on the mysterious“dry valley”of Antarctica, valleys that contain little ice or snow even in the depths of winter. Slashed through the mountains of southern Victoria land, these valleys once held enormous glaciers that descend 9,000 feet from the polar plateau to the Ross Sea.Now the glaciers are gone, perhaps a casualty of the global warming trend during the 10,000 years since the ice age. Even the snow that falls in the dry valleys is blasted out by vicious winds that roar down from the polar plateau to the sea. Left bare are spectacular gorges, rippled fields of sand dunes, clusters of boulders(大圆石)sculptured into fantastic shapes by 100mile an hour winds, and an aura of extraterrestrial desolation.Despite the unearthly aspect of the dry valleys, some scientists believe that they may carry a message of hope for the verdant(草木繁茂的)parts of the earth. Some scientists believe that in some cases the dry valleys may soak up pollutants faster than pollutants enter them.21.Antarctica is scientifically important in that ____.A) it is a space stationB) it is an ideal place for the investigation of glaciologyC) there is the mysterious dry valleyD) it can help people detect global environmental changes22.The reason for the disappearance of glaciers in the dry valley is ____.A) that they’ve desended to the Ross seaB) that they’ve been blasted out by vicious windsC) the global warming trend ever since the ice ageD) that they’ve been change d into gorges,sand dunes and boulders23.When the author calls Antarctica “distant early warning sensor”, heactually means that ____.A) such equipment has been set up for scientific purposeB) the research groups there are like such kind of sensorsC) potential global changes can be seen on Antarctica firstD) Antarctica is remote from other parts of the earth24.Which of the following statements is true according to the article?A) There is a cluster of island west of the Transantartic Mountain.B) Scientific research on Antarctica only centers on the ice and snow there.C) Dry valleys may be a place to dispose of our pollutants.D) All the countries on earth should be concerned about the health of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet.25.The word “spotted”(2nd paragraph)can best be replaced by____.A) placedB) noticedC) fixedD) judgedPassage TwoQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.The Carnegie Foundation report says that many colleges have tried to be “all things to all people”. In doing so, they have increasingly catered to a narrow minded careerism while failingto cultivate a global vision among their students.The current crisis, it contends, does not derive from a legitimate desire to put learning to productive ends. The problem is that in too many academic fields,the work has no context; skills, rather than being means, have become ends.Students are offered a variety of options and allowed to pick their way to a degree. In short, driven by careerism, “the nation’s colleges and universities are more successful in providing credentials(文凭)than in providing a quality education for their students.” The report concludes that the special challenge confronting the undergraduate college is one of shaping an “integrated core” of common learning. Such a core would introduce students “to essential knowledge, to connections across the disciplines, and in the end, to application of knowledge to life beyond the campus.”Although the key to a good college is a high quality faculty, the Carnegie study found that most colleges do very little to encourage good teaching. In fact, they do much to undermine it. As one professor observed:“Teaching is important, we are told, and yet faculty know that research and publication matter most.” Not surprisingly, over the last twenty years colleges and universities have failed to graduate half of their four year degree candidates. Faculty members who dedicate themselves to teaching soon discover that they will not be granted tenure (终身任期), promotion, or substantial salary increases. Yet 70 percent of all faculty say their interests lie more in teaching than in research. Additionally, a frequent complaint among young scholars is that “There is pressure to publish, although there isvirtually no interest among administrators or colleagues in the content of the publications.”26.When a college tries to be “all things to all people”(lines 2, Para. Ⅰ), it aims to ____.A) satisfy the needs of all kinds of students simultaneouslyB) focus on training students in various skillsC) encourage all sorts of people to attend collegeD) make learning serve academic rather than productive ends27.The word “core”(lines 15, 1st paragraph) might mean____.A) aimB) unitC) centerD) course28.One of the reasons for the current crisis in American colleges and universities is that ____.A) a narrow vocationalism has come to dominate many collegesB) students don’t have enough freedom in choosing what they want to learnC) skills are being taught as a means to an endD) students are not interested in learning29.American colleges and universities failed to graduate half of their fouryear degree candidates because ____.A) most of them lack high quality faculitesB) students are becoming more and more lazyC) there are not enough incentives for students to study hardD) they attach greater importance to research and publication than to teaching30.It can be inferred from the passage that high quality college educationcalls for ____.A) high quality facultiesB) a commitment to students and effective teachingC) the cultivation of students’ interest in learningD) dedication to research in frontier areas of knowledgePassage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.The U.S. birthrate began to decline in the middle 1950’s, resulting in a smallercollege age population starting in the middle 1970’s.S4 Something else happened in the 1970’s: the price of oil increased tremendously, driving up the price of almost everything and making Americans aware that their large automobiles used a lot of gasoline. At the same time, foreign car manufacturers had begun to produce small fuel efficient cars in large quantities for the export market. Suddenly, the large, gas guzzling American cars were no longer attractive to American buyers, who began buying foreign cars by the thousands. The American automobile industry went into a recession. Thousands of automotive workers were laid off, as were thousands of people in industries indirectly connected with the auto industry. People who are laid off tend to keep what money they have for necessities, like food and housing. They do not have the extra money needed to send their children to college. Their children cannot pay their own college costs, because during a recession they cannot find jobs. Highunemployment means that more state funds must be used for social service—unemployment benefits and to aid dependent children, for example—than during more prosperous times. It also means, that the states have fewer funds than usual, because people are paying fewer taxes. Institutions of higher education depend on two major sources of income to keep them functioning: tuition from students and funds from the states. At the present time, there are fewer students than in the past and fewer state funds available for higher education. The colleges and universities are in trouble.31.What is the main idea of this passage?A) The rising of oil price drove up the price of everything.B) There were many reasons why higher education was in trouble in the 1970’s.C) Birthrate began to decline in the USA in 1950’s.D) High unemployment caused a lot of social problems.32.The phrase “laid off” can best be replaced by which of the following?A) Poor .B) Got rid of.C) Removed.D) Unemployed.33.American cars were not popular in their domestic markets because they were____.A) smallB) gas consumingC) fuel efficientD) not attractive34.The colleges and universities were in trouble because of the following reasons except that ____.A) they couldn’t get enough income to keep them runningB) young people couldn’t afford the tuition feesC) keeping them running at the same level would cost much moreD) social services need more state funds because of the recession35.All of the following statements are true EXCEPT ____.A) young people couldn’t afford their own tuition in the 1970’sB) it’s difficult for graduates from colleges to find a job in the 1970’sC) fewer parents could afford to send their children to college because ofthe recession in 1970’sD) Birthrate dropped in the 1970’s because of the recessionPassage FourQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.Within fifteen years Britain and other nations should be well on with the building of huge industrial complexes for the recycling of waste. The word rubbish could lose its meaning because everything that goes into the dumps would be made into something useful. Even the most dangerous and unpleasant wastes would provide energy if nothing else.The latest project is to take a city of around half a million inhabitants and discover exactly what raw materials go into it and what go out. The aim is to findout how much of these raw materials could be provided if a plant for recyclingwaste were built just outside the city. This plant would recycle not only metalsuch as steel, lead and copper, but also paper and rubber as well.Another new project is being set up to discover the best ways of sorting and separating the rubbish. When this project is complete, the rubbish will be processed like this: first, it will pass through sharp metal bars which will tear open the plastic bags in which rubbish is usually packed; then it will pass through a powerful fan to separate the lightest elements from the heavy solids; after thatgrounders and rollers break up everything that can be broken. Finally the rubbish will pass under magnets, which will remove the bits of iron and steel; the rubber and plastic will then be sorted out in the final stage.The first full scale giant recycling plants are, perhaps, fifteen years away. Indeed, with the growing cost of transporting rubbish to more distant dumps, somebig cities will be forced to build their own recycling plants before long.36.The main purpose of the passage is ____.A) to show us a future way of recycling wastesB) to tell the importance of recycling wastesC) to warn people the danger of some wastesD) to introduce a new recycling plant37.How many stages are there in the recycling process?A) 3.B) 4.C) 5.D) 6.38.What is the main reason for big cities to build their own recycling plants?A) To deal with wastes in a better way.B) It’s a good way to gain profits.C) It’s more economical than to dump wastes in some distant places.D) Energy can be got at a lower price.39.The first full—scale huge recycling plants ____.A) have been in existence for 15 yearsB) takes 15 years to buildC) can’t be built until 15 years laterD) will remain functioning for 15 years40.Which of the following statements is true?A) The word “rubbish” will soon disappear from dictionaries.B) Dangerous wastes can be recycled into nothing but energy.C) T o recycle paper and rubber will still be impossible even with the new recycling methods.D) Big cities will soon have their own recycling plants.PartⅢVocabulary and Structure (20 minutes)Directions:There are 30 incomplete sentences in this part.

P.Richard Weinerman, professor of medicine and public health. Dr. Weinerman’s sharp indictment o f the automobile came in a discussion of human environment on Yale Reports, a radio program broadcast by Station WTIC in Hartford, Connecticut. The program opened a three part series on “Staying Alive”.“For the first time in human history, the problem of m an’s survival has to do with his control of man made hazards,” Dr. Weinerman said.“Before this, the problem had been the control of natural hazards.”Questions 11 to 13 are based on the passage you’ve just heard.11.What is the main idea of the passage?12.Why could automobiles cause heart disease?13.For the 1st time,what does the problem of man’s survival have to do with?Passage TwoA small dog brought disaster to a small English town last week.

People near Naples, in southern Italy, felt the Earth roll and shake. Earthquake! Suddenly buildings came tumbling down. Cracks appeared in the earth. Within minutes, entire towns were destroyed. Thousands of people were dead. Thousands more were injured.As rescuers searched through the rubble, many people must have wondered, of only the victims had known ahead of time, many lives could have been saved.Actually, an Italian scientist did predict that such a quake would happen. In 1977 Dr. M. Caputo of the Universite Degiles Studi in Rome warned that a large quake would soon strike the east of Naples. Unfortunately, he couldn’t predict the exact time and date of the quake.Dr. Caputo made his general prediction after talking with scientists at 54 earthquake monitoring stations throughout Italy. He learned that many earthquakes had recently rocked different areas around Naples. But none had occurred in one particular spot east of Naples for many years. Dr. Caputo felt that the area was long overdue for a large quake. And it was.Earthquake Strikes in GapThe quake occurred in a region that Dr. Caputo called a seismic gap. A seismic gap is an area in an active earthquake region where no earthquake or seismic activity has been recorded in a long time. Seismic gaps are located where two large plates in the Earth have become stuck.When the plates slide past each other, they sometimes became locked in place. A similar thing happens when you make a running leap on a sidewalk while wearing sneakers. When you land on both feet, the sneakers grab onto rough surface. Friction tends to hold your feet back while the rest of your body goes forward. You may end up falling flat on your face.In the case of plates, however, the uneven surfaces between the plates cause the plates to remain locked in place for years. Huge pressure builds up behind each plate. Periodically, a shudder, or tremor, is recorded as some of this energy is released.Finally, after about 50 years, rock in the seismic gap either suddenly breaks or moves under the great stress. This sudden release of energy sends shock waves through the rock layers above. The ground shakes, sidewalks crack, and buildingstumble. A mighty quake has struck.Gaps Used To Predict QuakesMany geologists have used what is called the seismic gap technique to accurately predict earthquakes. The technique was first developed by Soviet earthquake expert Dr. V. Fodotov during his studies of ancient and recent Japanese earthquakes. Dr. Fodotov was marking the location, size, and date of all known quakes in Japan when he noticed a striking pattern.All major earthquakes were found to occur in only a few isolated spots in Japan. Each of these spots, he noted, experienced a major quake only once every 50 to 60 years. Dr. Fodotov concluded that spots that hadn t had a quake in more than 50 years were “ripe”for a quake. The Russian scientist named these locations seismic gaps.In the past several years, geologists from other countries have found seismic gaps in other parts of the world. After making detailed studies of past quakes in these regions, the geologists were able to make an accurate prediction of when a quake would occur.How Do Animals Know When an Earthquake Is Coming?Scientists who try to predict earthquakes have gotten some new helpers recently —animals.That’s right, animals. Scientists have begun to catch on to what farmers have known for thousands of years. Animals often seem to know in advance that an earthquake is coming, and they show their fear by acting in strange ways. Before a Chinese quake in 1975, snakes awoke from their winter sleep early only to freeze to death in the cold air. Cows broke their halters and tried to escape. Chickens refused to enter their coop. All of this unusual behavior, as well as physical changes in the earth, alerted Chinese scientists to the coming quake. They moved people away from the danger zone and saved thousands of lives.One task for scientists today is to learn exactly which types of animal behavior predict quakes. It’s not an easy job. First of all not every animal reacts to the danger of an earthquake. Just before a California quake in 1977, for example, an Arabian stallion became very nervous and tried to break out of his stall. The horse next to him, however, remained perfectly calm. It’s also difficult at times to tell the difference between normal animal restlessness and “earthquake nerves”. A zoo keeper once called earthquake researchers to say that his cougar had been acting strangely. It turned out that the cat had an upset stomach.A second task for scientists is to find out exactly what kind of warnings the animals receive. They know that animals sense far more of the world than humans do. Many animals can see, hear, and smell things that people do not even notice. Some can detect tiny changes in air pressure, gravity, or the magnetism of Earth. This extra sense probably helps animals predict quakes.A good example of this occurred with a group of dogs. They were penned up in an area that was being shaken by a series of tiny earthquakes. (Several small quakes often come before or after a large one.) Before each quake a low booming sound was heard. Each boom caused the dogs to bark wildly. Then the dogs began to bark duringa silent period. A scientist who was recording tile quakes looked at his machine. It was acting as though there were a loud noise too. The scientist realized that the dogs had reacted to a booming noise. They also sensed the tiny quake that followed it. The machine recorded both, though humans felt and heard nothing.In this case there was a machine to monitor what the dogs were sensing. Many times, however, our machines record nothing out of the ordinary, even though animals know a quake is coming.

Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once. Each paragraph is marked with a letter. Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.Why I Became a Teacher: to Pass on My Love of LiteratureA) Like lots of people, I never thought I'd be a teacher when I was at school. To be honest I only did my training because my husband was on a four-year course and I was on a three-year course at Cardiff University so I wanted to do something for one year. I thought doing a teaching qualification would be interesting and might be quite useful. I'm convinced that nothing else I might have done would have given me so much pleasure and satisfaction, or fitted in so well with family life.B) When I retire, in just a few years’ time, I can look back on a career which made a positive difference to the lives of thousands of children. Few other career choices can be so rewarding, so if you have a love of your subject and want the opportunity to pass that on then teaching can be a great career.C) Anyone going into teaching now will be used to teaching to formal work schemes and observation. I think it has raised standards in the profession but personally I feel the loss in the classroom. I've got the confidence of 30 years’ experience. I've seen new approaches come and go (and sometime even identical "new ideas" come and go more than once).D) For me, it's the passion for your subject and interest in the success of your students that matters more than how all the acronyms (首字母缩略词) add up. This is what will make you a good teacher. There's still room for individuals but you have to have the confidence and passion for your subject to make it work.E) The major challenge in teaching is time. There's not enough of it. It's hard if you're working full time to cope with the marking and feel Eke you have enough time to do your job properly. I've worked part time ever since I had children. I officially work three days a week--trot on my two days off I always work, it probably all adds up to what counts as a full week's work in most other jobs but the pay isn't bad so you can work part time and then the job really does fit in with family life. There are shortcuts to save time, and if had to work part time I'd have to use. them. But working part time gives me the luxury, to be a critical marker. It can take two hours to mark a 3,000 word. A level essay, so if you have 16 pupils that's 32 hours of marking in one week for just one class.F) One of the benefits of being a part-time teacher is that I do have time to mark properly. Sometimes my feedback is almost as long as their essay but 1 really want the kids to do well. One of the best things about teaching is you get to raise children's aspirations, and to make a difference in their lives. You get visits and emails from your old students to prove it! It's great to make the difference, and, as they say, it does make it all worthwhile.G) The core of teaching is the subject and the pupils. We have a lot of NQTs and PGCE students coming to our school and sometimes I must admit to being disappointed when students don't know their subjects that well. I had an NQT who was teaching Animal Farm and asked me "What's Marxism?" --and she'd got a first in her degree so it just goes to show that government initiatives to try and attract those with firsts aren't necessarily going work.H) However. lots of people drop out of teaching after a couple of years, it is an exhausting job. So, my advice to those just starting out is:I) Don't lose your sense of proportion over things that happen in the classroom or in an observation thatdoesn't go well. As long as in the bigger picture of things you are connecting with kids and the subject--then don't get frustrated. Even after 30 years of teaching everyone has fearful days in teaching, you think: "Can I really do this?" You've got keep positive; it's only a problem if you get mute bad days than good days.J) Make sure leaching doesn't overwhelm you. You have to develop strategies especially if you are teaching a subject which requires a lot of marking. So, plan things well. Get your pupils to do peer marking, which really can work. If you know you just can't handle any more marking in a particular week, get pupils to write a speech and then perform it in the next class. You've got to think ahead about times of maximum workload and plan accordingly--ask your more experienced colleagues for adviceK) You've got to keep your sense of burnout, which is a great way of relieving a situation. I know I became a better teacher when I became a parent. I realized that kids can be so unpleasant sometimes, even your own kids. They don't mean it; they're just being kids. It doesn't mean they bate you or hate your lessons, When you're a new teacher coming into teaching, especially if you are young, you think of the students as almost your adversaries (对手), anti you've got-to defeat them. But you've got to be, careful what you say. You can't belittle them too much or you can really harm them.L) Love your subject. If you are going to succeed in secondary school leaching you must love your subject. The kids really know if you do or don't.M) You have to know your students are individuals, they learn in different ways. You have to be sensitive to that.N) You can't just teach to a formula. I do worry about the difference between lip service to what the government say it's supposed to be like and what it's really like. I do hate the untruthfulness of that and the gulf seems to widen more anti more. It feels like what matters most is what's tested. The trouble is nothing that is really worthwhile can be tested. are the love of learning, connection with literature, having empathy (移情作用) -- these are the things that really make a difference to someone's life but of course they can't be tested. Young teachers have to be careful not to get lost in famulus and initiatives. A more experienced teacher will have confidence to respond to kids anti to talk about an issue that's raised in class that's not on the plan. The children will learn so much from that but there's no box to tick.36. Keeping sense of humor rather than belittling your students can help relieve a situation.37. For the author, the main challenge in teaching is that there's no enough time.38. Teachers should not teach to a formula because what cannot be tested may really matter to a student's life.39. For teachers faced with a lot of marking, one strategy is to get pupils involved in peer marking.40. When dealing with things that happen in the classroom, teachers are advised to decide priorities.41. Working part time enables the author to mark students' assignments properly.42. The author believes she has received most satisfaction from teaching as a career.43. Students can tell whether a teacher loves his subject or not.44. The author thinks that teaching to formal work schemes and observation can make a loss in the classroom.45. According to the author, passion for a subject and interest in students' success will make a good teacher. Section CDirections: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the center. Passage OneQuestions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.When I was studying at Yale, some phenomena puzzled me greatly. I found that Chinese students or Asian students were very polite in class while American students often interrupted the professor, asking questions and dominating the discussion. The Chinese students were not as aggressive as American students.I was impressed by the role of the professor in the seminar(讨论会). The professor didn’t act as an authority, giving final conclusions, but as a researcher looking for answers to questions together with the students. One linguistic(语言的) feature of his interacting with his students was that he used many modal(情态的) verbs --- far more than I did in Beiwai. When answering questions, he usually said, “This is my personal opinion and it could be wrong.” or “You could be right, but you might find this point of view also interesting.”In China, authorities are always supposed to give wise decisions and correct directions. Therefore, students always expect the professor to give an answer to the question. I still remember how frustrated they were when foreign teachers did not provide such an answer. Their expectations from authorities are much higher than that of American students. Once the Chinese students got the answer, they were sure about it.Education in China is valued for united thinking. I remember American teachers who taught in our university complaining about the fact that Chinese students uniformly expressed the same idea in their English composition. The examinations in America usual ly do not test a student’s ability to memorize the material but his ability to analyze and solve problems. Education in America is valued not only as a means to obtain employment but as a process of enhancing critical thinking.46. In the USA, when the students are in class, ____.A. a Chinese student tends to be very activeB. an American student likes to make troubleC. a Chinese student likes to puzzle the teacherD. an American student tends to be vigorous47. A teacher in the USA prefers to ____ when he answers questions.A .be very sincere B. be very directC. be very self-confidentD. be very indifferent48. What is the opinion of the author concerning the difference of teaching g methods between China and the USA?A. He thinks that Chinese teaching methods can make students learn more.B. He holds that the major purpose of Chinese teaching methods is to improve students’ remembrance.C. He thinks that American teaching is ability oriented.D. He holds that American teachers hate to give a test.49. The author thinks that the relationship between the student and the teacher is ____.A. more intimate in ChinaB. closer in ChinaC. looser in USAD. more harmonious in USA50. The education in USA may produce some ____ graduates.A. talkativeB. conventionalC. creativeD. imaginativePassage TwoQuestions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.A scientist who does research in economic psychology and who wants to predict the way in which consumers will spend their money must study consumer behavior. He must obtain data both on resources of consumers and on the motives that tend to encourage or discourage money spending.If an economist as asked which of three groups borrow most—people with rising incomes, stable incomes, or declining incomes—he would probably answer: those with declining incomes. Actually, in the years 1947—1950, the answer was: people with rising incomes. People with declining incomes were next and people with stable incomes borrowed the least. This shows us that traditional assumptions about earning and spending are not always reliable. Another traditional assumption is that if people who have money expect prices to go up, they will hasten to buy. If they expect prices to go down, they will postpone buying. But research surveys have shown that this is not always true. The expectations of price increase may not stimulate buying. One typical attitude was expressed by the wife of a mechanic in an interview at a time ofrising prices. “In a few months,” she said, “we’ll have to pay more for meat and milk; we’ll have less t o spend on other things.” Her family had been planning to buy a new car but they postpo ned this purchase. Furthermore, the rise in prices that has al ready taken place may be resented and buyer’s resistance may be evoked.The investigations mentioned above were carried out in America. Investigations conducted at the same time in Great Britain, however, yielded results that were more in agreement with traditional assumptions about saving and spending patterns. The condition most conductive to spending appears to be price stability. If prices have been stable and people consider that they are reasonable, they are likely to buy. Thus, it appears that the common business policy of maintaining stable prices is based on a correct understanding of consumer psychology.51.If a scientist wants to study consumer behavior, what must he do?A) He must predict the way in which consumers will spend their money.B) He must do scientific research.C) He must know background of customers.D) He must do research and learn the resources and motives of customers.52.Which of the following groups borrow money most according to traditional assumption?A) People with rising incomes. B) People with stable incomes.C) People with declining incomes. D) None of the above.53.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A) Traditional assumptions about earning and spending are not always reliable.B) The condition that most helps to produce spending appears to be price rising.C) Maintaining stable prices is a common business policy.D) The results of the investigation in America were not the same as those in Great Britain.54.The research survey in America have showed that when the prices rise, ____.A) people will hasten to buy B) people will stop buyingC) people will postpone their purchaseD) people will buy more than they can use55.The saving and spending patterns in America are ____ those at the same time in Britain.A) different from C) the same asB) much better than D) much worse thanPart IV TranslationDirections: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to translate a passage from Chinese into English.

However, along with this surge are some uncivil behaviors, which have received fierce criticism. For example, some tourists may smoke, talk loudly, litter, or even scrawl on cultural relics in the scenic spots.Many factors contribute to this uncivil phenomenon, including lack of good habit of travelling, different cultural background and personal quality. Therefore, some measures should be taken to tackle this problem. First, a system should be set up to keep track of those who misbehave in scenic spots. We can blacklist those who are spotted three times and reject their admission. Second, the authorities concerned could impose a fine on those who damage the environment in the scenic spots. Last but not least, education should serve as a main task shouldered by the government to improve the tourists'personal quality.In short, some severe measures as well as education should be adopted together to help everyone to be a civic-minded tourist.Part II Listening Comprehension1 ,..____. 5 : ED A BA16 ,..____. 20 : ABADBSection APassage One6 r---..,; 10 : ADC D C21r---..,;25 : ACADB11�15 : CBBAC[l][ 2] The women's marathon opens the final day of competition, but that 42. 2-kilometer race, which begins and ends at the historic Brandenburg Gate, is only the beginning.[2]The women go for the gold in three other events, including the Ions jump, four-by-400-meter relay and the 1500 meters.Anna Willard of the United States is one of three Americans to make the 400-meter finals and she told VOA Sports about her plan for Sunday.

The chemistry major tending bar. The classics major answering phones. The Italian studies major stocking shelves atWal-Mart.Now evidence is emerging that the damage caused by the sour economy is more widespread than just a few careers led astray (偏离正轨地) or postponed. Even for college graduates — the people who were most protected from the effects of recession — the outlook is rather bleak (黯淡的).Employment rates for new college graduates have fallen sharply in the last two years, as have starting salaries for those who can find work. What’s more, only half of the jobs landed by these new graduates even require a college degree, reviving debates about whether higher education is “worth it” after all.“I have friends with the same degree as me, from a worse school, but because of who they knew or when they happened to graduate, they’re in much better jobs,”said Kyle Bishop, 23, a 2009 graduate of the University of Pittsburgh who has spent the last two years waiting tables, delivering beer, working at a bookstore andentering data. “It’s more about luck than anything else.”The average starting salary for students graduating from four-year colleges in 2009 and 2010 was $27,000, down from $30,000 for those who entered the work force in 2006 to 2008, according to a study released on Wednesday by the John J. Heldrich Center for Workforce Development at Rutgers University. That is a decline of 10 percent, even before taking inflation into account.Of course, these are the lucky ones — the graduates who found a job. Among the members of the class of 2010, just 56 percent had held at least one job by this spring, when the survey was conducted. That compares with 90 percent of graduates from the classes of 2006 and 2007. (Some have gone for further education or opted out of the labor force, while many are still trying very hard to get a job.) Even these figures understate the damage done to these workers’ careers. Many have taken jobs that do not make use of their skills; about only half of recent college graduates said that their first job required a college degree.The choice of major is quite important. Certain majors had better luck finding a job that required a college degree, according to an analysis by Andrew M. Sum, an economist at Northeastern University, of 2009 Labor Department data for collegegraduates under 25.Young graduates who majored in education and teaching or engineering were most likely to find a job requiring a college degree, while area studies majors — those who majored in Latin American studies, for example — and humanities majors were least likely to do so. Among all recent education graduates, 71.1 percent were in jobs that required a college degree; of all area studies majors, the share was 44.7percent.An analysis by The New York Times of Labor Department data about college graduates aged 25 to 34 found that the number of these workers employed in food service, restaurants and bars had risen 17 percent in 2009 from 2008, though the sample size was small. There were similar or bigger employment increases at gas stations and fuel dealers, food and alcohol stores, and taxi and limousine services.This may be a waste of a college degree, but it also displaces (使离开) the less-educated workers who would normally take these jobs.“The less schooling you had, the more likely you were to get thrown out of the labor market altogether,” said Mr. Sum, noting that unemployment rates for highschool graduates and dropouts are always much higher than those for college graduates.“There is complete displacement all the way down.”Meanwhile, college graduates are having trouble paying off student loan debt, which is at a median of $20,000 for graduates of classes 2006 to 2010.Mr. Bishop, the Pittsburgh graduate, said he is “terrified” of the effects his starter jobs might have on his ultimate career, which he hopes to be in publishing or writing. “It looks bad to have all these short-term jobs on your résumé, but you do have to pay the bills,” he said, adding that right now his student loan debtwas over $70,000.Many graduates will probably take on more student debt. More than 60 percent of those who graduated in the last five years say they will need more formal educationto be successful.“I knew there weren’t going to be many job prospects for me until I got my Ph.D.,” said Travis Patterson, 23, a 2010 graduate of California State University, Fullerton. He is working as an administrative assistant for a property management company and studying psychology in graduate school. While it may not have anything to do with his degree, “it helps pay my rent and tuition, and that’s what matters.”Going back to school does offer the possibility of joining the labor force when the economy is better. Unemployment rates are also generally lower for people withadvanced schooling.Those who do not go back to school may be on a lower-paying trajectory (道路) for years. They start at a lower salary, and they may begin their careers with employers that pay less on average or have less room for growth.“Their salary history follows them wherever they go,” said Carl Van Horn, a labor economist at Rutgers. “It’s like a parrot on your shoulder, traveling with you everywhere, constantly telling you ‘No, you can’t make that much money.’“And while young people who have survived a tough job market may shy from risks during their careers, the best way to nullify (抵消……的影响) an unlucky graduation date is to change jobs when you can, says Till von Wachter, an economist at Columbia.“If you don’t move within five years of graduating, for some reason you get stuck where you are,” Mr. von Wachter said. “By your late 20s, you’re often married, and have a family and have a house. You stop the active pattern of moving jobs.”1. What do we know about college graduates in the present sour economy?A) They have a positive outlook for the future.B) They remain unaffected by the recession.C) Job prospects for them don’t look good.D) Starting salaries for them have increased.2. According to Kyle Bishop, why can his friends have better jobs than him?A) They graduate at the right time. C) They have obtained higher degrees.B) They have working experience.

Andrew M. Sum’s study found that in finding a job requiring a college degree,_______.A) good luck was extremely necessary C) area studies majors had a big advantageB) the choice of major was quite important D) recent graduates were more likelyto succeed5. According to the author, college graduates’ working in places like gasstations _______.A) makes them more down-to-earth people C) may be a waste of their college degreesB) is good to the diversity of the work force D) motivates less-educated workersto improve6.

You are requiredto select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank followingthe passage. Read the passage through carefully before making your choices. Eachchoice in the bank is identified by a letter. Please mark the corresponding letterfor each item on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre. You may notuse any of the words in the bank more than once.Questions 47 to 56 are based on the following passage.Language is learned primarily through communication with other people. Researchshows that the more communication children 47 at home the better developed theirlanguage skills will be. Children need to 48 well in order to learn well. This isespecially important for the development of native language skills since thelanguage is 49 reinforced by the child’s environment outside school.However, the 50 of communication is just as or more important than quantity alone.The language adults use helps children become aware of the many 51 aspects of objectsand events around them. For example, during a shopping trip to the market or store,adults can develop children’s concepts by bringing their attention to the shapes,colors, sounds, textures, and size of objects and events around them. Parents cando this naturally through conversation without 52 teaching. In other words,conversation with children in 53 situations expands their minds and develops theirthinking skills.In addition to conversing with children, adults can help prepare their childrento succeed in school by encouraging them to take an 54 interest in books and in theprint that surrounds them in the environment. The child’s first major 55 in schoolis learning to read. Children who come to school with knowledge that the print aroundthem carries important meanings and with an interest in books and stories willusually 56 in learning to read rapidly.Section BDirections: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.In the early 20th century, a horse named Clever Hans was believed capable of counting and other impressive mental tasks. After years of great performance, psychologists discovered that though Hans was certainly clever, he was not clever in the way everyone expected. The horse was cunningly (聪明地) picking up on tiny, unintentional bodily and facial cues given out not only by his trainer, but also by the audience. Aware of the “Clever Hans” effect, Lisa Lit at the University of California, Davis, and her colleagues wondered whether the beliefs of professional dog handlers might similarly affect the outcomes of searchers for drugs and explosives. Remarkably, Dr. Lit found, they do.Dr. Lit asked 18 professional dog handlers and their dogs to complete brief searches. Before the searches, the handlers were informed that some of the search area might contain up to three target scents (气味), and also that in two cases those scents would be marked by pieces of red paper. What the handlers were not told was that none of the search areas contained the scents of either drugs or explosives.Any “detections” made by the teams thus had to be false.The findings reveal that of 144 searches, only 21 were clean (no alerts). All the others raised one alert or more. In total, the teams raised 225 alerts. While the sheer number of false alerts struck Dr. Lit as fascinating, it was where they took place that was of greatest interest.When handlers could see a red piece of paper, allegedly marking a location of interest, they were much more likely to say that their dogs signaled an alert. The human handlers were not only distracted on almost every occasion by the stimulus aimed at them, but also transmitted that distraction to their animals — who responded accordingly. To mix metaphors, the dogs were crying “wolf” at theunconscious signal of their handlers.How much that matters in the real world is unclear. But it might. If a handler, for example, unconsciously “profiled” people being sniffed (嗅) by a drug- or explosive-detecting dog at an airport, false positives could abound (大量存在). That is not only bad for innocent travelers, but might distract the team from catchingthe guilty.57. What did psychologists find out about Clever Hans?A) He was really good at counting. C) He merely responded to human signals.B) He was as clever as people claimed. D) He could understand human language.58. What did the dog handlers learn before the searches?A) There was actually no target scent in the search area.B) Each search area contained three target scents.C) Their dogs were expected to find the scents of red paper.D) Some target scents may be labeled with a special mark.59. According to Dr. Lit, the most significant about the experiment was .A) the way the dogs raised alerts C) the average time of the searchesB) the location of the false alerts D) the number of the false alerts60. What can be concluded from the experiment?A) Dogs may act in response to their handlers’ bodily signals.B) The cooperation between dogs and their handlers is key to success.C) Well-trained dogs can better understand their handlers’ signals.D) Dog handlers are more likely to be distracted than their dogs.61. How does the author see Dr. Lit’s findings?A) They may not be useful in real situations.B) They should raise our concern in real life.C) They will be widely applied in the near future.D) They should be backed up by further evidence.Passage TwoQuestions 62 to 66 are based on the following passage.Being able to multitask is hailed by most people as a welcome skill, but not according to a recent study which claims that young people between the ages of eight and eighteen of the so-called Generation M are spending a considerable amount of their time in fruitless efforts as they multitask. It argues that, in fact, these young people are frittering (浪费) away as much as half of their time as they would if they performed the very same tasks one after the other.Some young people are using an ever larger number of electronic devices as they study. At the same time they are working, young adults are also surfing on the Internet, or sending out emails to their friends, and/or answering the telephone and listening to music on their iPods. As some new device comes along, it is also added to the list rather than replacing one of the existing devices.Other research has indicated that this multitasking is even affecting the way families themselves function as young people are too wrapped up in their own isolated worlds to interact with the other people around them. They can no longer greet family members when they enter the house nor can they eat at the family table.All this electronic wizardry (魔力) is supposedly also seriously affecting young people’s performance at university and in the workplace. When asked about their opinions of the impact of modern gadgets (小装置) on their performance of tasks, the great majority of young people gave a favorable response.The response from the academic and business worlds was not quite as positive. The former feel that multitasking with electronic gadgets by children affects later development of study skills, resulting in a decline in the quality of writing, for example, because of the lack of concentration on task completion. They feel that many undergraduates now urgently need remedial (补救的) help with study skills. Similarly, employers feel that young people entering the workforce need to be taughtall over again.While all this may be true, it must be borne in mind that more and more is expected of young people nowadays; in fact, too much. Praise rather than criticism is duein respect of the way today’s youth are able to cope despite what the older generationthrow at them.62. What do we learn about the multitasking Generation M from a recent study?A) They are highly praised for being efficient.B) They put more energy on important tasks.C) They don’t save much time as supposed.D) They need to improve their analytical skills.63. With the introduction of new gadgets, what happens to the Generation M’s present e-devices?A) They are put aside temporarily. C) They give way to the latest gadgets.B) They are either sold or traded. D) They become part of their collection.64. A research revealed that multitasking makes the Generation M ________.A) distant to their family C) impolite and ungratefulB) selfish and possessive D) feel lonely and pitiful65. The academics feel that many undergraduates badly need to ________.A) adjust their social attitudes C) improve their study skillsB) seek psychological assistance D) take more business courses66. What does the author suggest the older generation do in dealing with themultitasking youth?A) Heighten their expectations on the youth.B) Try to be supportive and understanding.C) Encourage the youth to stick to their old habits.D) Change the way the youth use the gadgets.Part V Cloze (15 minutes)Directions: There are 20 blanks in the following passage. For each blank there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D) on the right side of the paper. You should choose the ONE that best fits into the passage. Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.When I first entered university, my aunt, who is an English professor, gave me a new English dictionary. I was 67 to see that it was an English dictionary, 68 known as a monolingual (单语的) dictionary. 69 it was a dictionary intended for non-native learners, none of my classmates had one. But, to be honest, I found it extremely 70 to use at first. I would look up words in the dictionary and 71 not fully understand the meaning. I was used to the 72 bilingual (双语的) dictionaries, in which the words are 73 both in English and Chinese. I really 74 why my aunt decided to make things so difficult for me. Now, after studying English at university forthree years, I 75 that monolingual dictionaries are better 76 learning a foreign language.As I found out, there is 77 often NO perfect equivalence between two words in two languages. My aunt even goes so far as to 78 that a Chinese “equivalent”can never give you the 79 meaning of a word in English! 80 , she insisted that I read the definition of a word in a monolingual dictionary when I wanted to get a better understanding 81 its meaning. 82 , I have come to see what she meant.Using a monolingual dictionary for learners has helped me in another important 83 . This dictionary uses a 84 number of words, around 2,000, in its definitions. When I read these definitions, I am 85 exposed to the basic words and learn how they are used to explain objects and ideas. 86 this, I can express myself more easily in English.67. A) worried C) surprisedB) disappointed D) hesitated68. A) also C) thenB) yet D) as69. A) While C) SinceB) Although D) Nevertheless70. A) difficult C) reluctantB) interesting D) practical71.

It is adversity rather than prosperity helps people to gain a greater understanding of themselves and the world around them.In today's world,if we have never been exposed to the harsh reality that evils lurk in every corner,our childish fantasy about the world will one day ruins us.So facing failures is one of the most important lessons to be learned in life,especially for college students,who are in critical intersection of life.Instead of considering the failures in your life as negative things that happen to you,try to accept these failures as lessons you would have never learnt otherwise.So,face failures with the same grace in celebrating success,extract lessons and move on with a broader horizon! Failing is natural,and the only thing to do when you fail is to learn from the experience and try your best never to repeat the same mistake again in your life.so“It’s fine to celebrate success but it is more important to heed the lessons of failure.”Part II Listening ComprehensionNews Item OneEvery day,people come into contact with thousands of chemicals.These chemicals are said to be harmless to human health.(1)In fact,the chemicals are considered so safe that we wash with them.We put them on our bodies and even on our faces.Other chemical products are used throughout our homes.By the time you walk out your front door,you have already been exposed to thousands of chemicals.On its own,each chemical seems harmless.But in combination with other chemicals, they may become deadly.That is the finding of a two-year study by a task force of scientists.(2)The task force was told to investigate the cancer-causing probability of chemical mixtures.Their job was to study the cancer-causing potential of85chemicals.All 85are said to be common in the environment.They explain that chemicals have the potential,or ability,to form dangerous mixtures.1.How do people see chemicals in life?A)2.What is the scientists'task?A)News Item TwoA new study says a widely-used insecticide is damaging wild bee populations.(3)Wild bees are important,because they pollinate(授粉)crops and wild plants.Environmentalists in the United States and Europe say this insecticide is causing a drop in the number of bees.These insecticides are among the most commonly used worldwide.Farmers often use seeds treated with the insecticides.The chemicals target insects that eat crops,and they do not spread beyond the field.But they do get into pollen(花粉)and nectar(花蜜)，which is where the bees come into contact with them.Researchers studied bees in fields.They say there were about half as many wild bees per square meter in treated fields as in untreated ing the chemicals too much may be hurting bees.(4)They suggest that the chemicals should be used more sensibly,or,in other words,only when necessary.3.Why are wild bees important?C)4.What do researchers suggest when using chemicals?B)News Item ThreeA deaf and blind woman from Australia has become the first person to make a telephone call using a device that converts speech into Braille.(5)The technology is being tested for the first time in Australia and the United States.One test involved a simple phone call between two sisters.Michelle Stevens is deaf and blind.Ms.Stevens says the Braille telephone will endyears of feeling isolated,or feeling alone and apart from others.The Brille telephone system will be a great help to her and others.This telephone system will be one way to break the isolation of deaf-blindness.(6)She adds that with future developments,the phone system might be able to give deal-blind people more job opportunities.Not being able to communicate in the office or on the telephone is a major employment brier for people who are deaf-blind.The phones work by transferring spoken words onto what is called a“dynamic Braille display."(7)However,the phone system is expensive.It costs about$2500.5.Where was the technology first tested?C)6.What might the phone system give to the deaf-blind?D)7.How much is the phone system?B)Conversation OneW:You look better today.How did your test go?M:Much better than it did yesterday.W:Did you pass?M:(8)I not only passed it,but I got high marks!I'm so happy!W:You should be.You worked really hard last night preparing for it.M:Thank you for helping me with it.If you hadn't encouraged me to do my best,I wouldn't have ever been able to pass.W:You don't have to thank me.(11)It's just a part of my job as your counselor.M:Did you always do well in high school?W:No,in fact,I was terrible at taking exams.M:Really?W:Sure,but my teachers always encouraged me to do the best and that helped me a lot. By the way,when are your final exams?M:In about two months.W:When do you plan to prepare for those exams?M:Well,(9)most students just cram the night before.W:Do you think that's a good idea?M:No,I think1should study a little bit at a time,starting a few weeks before the exam. W:That sounds like a good idea.What are you going to do if you have any questions while you are studying?M:(10)I’ll go and talk to my professor or a learning support assistant.W:Sounds like you've learned something useful this year!8.Why does the man look so happy today?B)9.When do most students prepare for exams according to the man?D)10.What will the man do if he has any questions during the study?D).11.What is the relationship between the two speakers?C) Conversation TwoW:You don't look too well.Maybe you should take the day off from work.M:(12)I couldn't do that.I have an important meeting to go to today.W:Do you feel OK?M:Not really.After a12-hour flight,I've got jet lag,and on top of that,I think I've also got the flu.W:(13)Why don't you call your secretary and tell her to reschedule the meeting?You should really take a rest at home or you'll end up feeling even worse than you do now. M:Could you feel my forehead and check to see if I have a fever?W:You're really hot.Let me get you some Tylenol to bring the fever down.M:OK.I'll stay at home this morning and take a rest,but if I feel better in the afternoon, I'm going to the meeting.(13)Now I'll call my secretary.W:Gosh,what's that on your arm?M:I don't know.It looks a bit red,but I'm sure it's nothing.M:(14)Just cats,but I don't think I was near any cats in the last couple of weeks. W:(14)I completely forgot about your cat allergy.I took care of a cat for my friend here a few days ago.Oh no,(15)we'd better go to the doctor to get some medicine.Let‘go. M:Shouldn’t we make an appointment first?W:We should,(15)but let's just go and see if there’s an opening now before it gets worse.12.Why is the man unwilling to ask for leave?B)13.What will the man call his secretary to do?B)14.Why does the man have a red rash?C)15.What will the speakers probably do next?B)Passage One(16)There is probably no area of human activity in which our values and lifestyles are reflected more vividly than they are in the clothes that we choose to wear.The dress of an individual is a kind of“sign language".that communicates a complex set of informationand is usually the basis on which immediate impressions are formed.(17)Traditionally,a concern for clothes was considered to be a feminine preoccupation,while men took pride in the fact that they were completely lacking in clothes consciousness.Times have changed as masculine dress takes on greater variety and color.As early as1955,research revealed that men attached high importance to the value of clothing in daily life. White-collar workers in particular viewed dress as a symbol capable of manipulation(控制), which could be used to impress or influence others,especially in work situations.(18)Although blue-collar workers were less aware that they might be judged on the basis of their clothing,they recognized that any difference from the accepted pattern of dress would draw scoff from fellow workers.Since that time,the pattern has changed.The typical office workers may now be wearing the blue shirt,and the laborers the white shirt, but the importance of dress has not diminished.16.What can our clothes do according to the passage?A)17.What can we know about men in the past?A)18.What can we learn about blue-collar workers according to the research of1955?D)19.What is this passage mainly about?C)Passage TwoYour co-workers have been gossiping less as of late,and that should have the old boss worried.(20)Most workers—63percent,in fact—say that water cooler chit-chat about their co-workers is commonplace,but that's down from four years ago when nearly85percent of companies said that office gossip was a regular occurrence.(21)The decline may be indicative of a pick-up in the larger economy.especially when compared to the reported boost in gossip and rumors about downsizing and layoffs as the economy worsened.Since the depths of the financial crisis,corporate profits have racked up a couple al-time highs and hiring has seen a slight increase,perhaps alleviating some workplace pressure.Yet a drop in office gossip may actually be harming,not helping workers'productivity.When it focuses on general rumors instead of malicious tidbits,(22)office gossip can actually help workers bond during a time of anxiety.If employees bond enough,it could get them to hang out outside the office,an additional productivity boost.More than half of supervisors say co-workers'doubling as friends outside of the office has a positive impact on the workplace,The Times of India reports.In addition,workers may have to engage in some office chit-chat to be successful at a company.Nearly60percent of workers said getting involved in office politics is necessary to get ahead,according to a survey from Robert HalfInternational,a finance and accounting firm.20.What can be inferred about office gossip B)21.What is the probable relationship between office gossip and the economy?C)22.What benefit can office gossips bring?A)Passage ThreeBefore refrigerators were invented,the next best thing was an ice box.(23)But another way to keep foods fresh is to use an evaporative cooler.A common design is a tall box with several shelves inside to hold the foods.The shelves are pieces of metal with many small holes through them.The sides of the box are covered with pieces of thick cloth.Containers of water are placed at the top and bottom of the cooler.(24)The ends of each piece of cloth lie in the water so the cloth stays wet.The cooler is put outdoors,but not in the sun.Air will pass through the wet cloth.The inside of the box will stay several degrees cooler than the outside air temperature.And this may be cool enough to keep foods fresh,at least for a short time.Some foods can make you sick if they are stored in conditions that are not cold enough to prevent the growth of harmful organisms.Freezing can keep some foods in good condition for months after the growing season.Yet foods can be damaged if they are kept too cold.(25)The British development group Practical Action says the best way to prepare foods for storage is at harvest time while still in the e a sharp knife and place the harvested items on a clean surface or directly into storage containers.Do not put them on the ground.23.How did people keep foods fresh before refrigerators were invented?C)24.What should be done to keep the cloth wet?C)25.What's the best way to prepare foods for storage according to the passage?D) Part III Reading ComprehensionSection A选项归类名词：B）beliefs（信仰，信念）H）mention（提到，说起）J）objects（反对，不赞成）K）practice（惯例；实践）动词：A）affect（影响；感染）C）confused（混淆；使困惑）D）exert（运用；施以影响）E）expected（预计；预期）H）mention（提及，说起）M）remain（继续，依然）形容词：C）confused（困惑的）G）guilty（内疚的；有罪的）I）negative（否定的；负面的）L）positive（肯定的；积极的）N）responsible（负有责任的）副词：F）extremely（极度，极其）O）significantly（显著地，重大地）J）objects（物体，实物）答案解析26.N)【精析】形容词辨析题。

(15 points,30min)快读阅读：1-7：8 9 10Reading ASpecialization can be seen as a response to the problem of an increasing accumulation of scientific knowledge. By splitting up the subject matter into smaller units, one man could continue to handle the information and use it as the basis for further research. But specialization was only one of a series of related developments in science affecting the process of communication. Another was the growing professionalisation of scientific activity.No clear-cut distinction can be drawn between professionals and amateurs in science: exceptions can be found to any rule. Nevertheless, the word “amateur” does carry a connotation that the person concerned is not fully integrated into the scientific community and, in particular, may not fully share its values. The growth of specialization in the nineteenth century, with itsconsequent requirement of a longer, more complex training, implied greater problems for amateur participation in science. The trend was naturally most obvious in those areas of science based especially on a mathematical or laboratory training, and can be illustrated in terms of the development of geology in the United Kingdom.A comparison of British geological publications over the last century and a half reveals not simply an increasing emphasis on the primacy of research, but also a changing definition of what constitutes an acceptable research paper. Thus, in the nineteenth century, local geological studies represented worthwhile research in their own right; but, in the twentieth century, local studies have increasingly become acceptable to professionals only if they incorporate, and reflect on, the wider geological picture. Amateurs, on the other hand, have continued to pursue local studies in the old way. The overall result has been to make entrance to professional geological journals harder for amateurs, a result that has been reinforced by the widespread introduction of refereeing, first by national journals in the nineteenth century and then by several local geological journals in the twentieth century. As a logical consequence of this development, separate journals have now appeared aimed mainly towards either professional or amateur readership. A rather similar process of differentiation has led to professional geologists coming together nationally within one or two specific societies, whereas the amateurs have tended either to remain in local societies or to come together nationally in a different way.Although the process of professionalisation and specialization was already well under way in British geology during the nineteenth century, its full consequences were thus delayed until the twentieth century.

【决战2010年12月四级】大学英语四级考试押题试卷（含答案）Part ⅠWritingDirections: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay entitled On Food Safety Issues. You should write at least 150 words following the outline given below:1. 食品安全的现状2. 造成食品安全问题的原因3. 我们应该如何应对On Food Safety Issues这道题您没有回答答案:[范文]On Food Safety IssuesWhile it is true that there is a decline in the number of cases related to fake foods and foods of poor quality, the safety of food remains a serious problem in this industry. Food-born diseases are largely responsible for high levels of sickness and mortality in the general public, particularly for infants, young children, and the elderly.There are various reasons for this heart-breaking fact. In my opinion, the responsibility goes for the most part to the food producers especially those who fail to meet safety standards. In order to make the most profit, some food producers may even intentionally use such chemicals as pesticides, animal drugs, etc. , during manufacturing and processing just to make food look or taste good. At the same time, the government departments responsible for quality control fall to fulfill their duties, which makes the danger turn into a reality. Besides, the media actually cheat the customers in their deliberate efforts to advertise the problematic food.To make sure the food we eat is safe, the supervision of food production should be highly responsible. What's more, it is important for the government to drastically increase legal penalties on those who neglect food safety regulations. Nevertheless, the general public should be more aware that a healthy life relies on the safety of foodstuff.[写作点拨]本文要求就食品安全问题展开讨论。

You are required to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage. Read the passage through carefully before making your choices. Each choice in the bank is identified by a letter. Please mark the corresponding letter for each item on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre. You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.Questions 47 to 56 are based on the following passage.Language is learned primarily through communication with other people. Research shows that the more communication children 47 at home the better developed their language skills will be. Children need to 48 well in order to learn well. This is especially important for the development of native language skills since the language is 49 reinforced by the child’s environment outside school.However, the 50 of communication is just as or more important than quantity alone. The language adults use helps children become aware of the many 51 aspects of objects and events around them. For example, during a shopping trip to the market or store, adults can develop children’s concepts by bringing their attention to the shapes, colors, sounds, textures, and size of objects and events around them. Parents can do this naturally through conversation without 52 teaching. In other words, conversation with children in 53 situations expands their minds and develops their thinking skills.In addition to conversing with children, adults can help prepare their children to succeed in school by encouraging them to take an 54 interest in books and in the print that surrounds them in the environment. The child’s first major 55 in school is learning to read. Children who come to school with knowledge that the print around them carries important meanings and with an interest in books and stories will usually 56 in learning to read rapidly.Section BDirections: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.In the early 20th century, a horse named Clever Hans was believed capable of counting and other impressive mental tasks. After years of great performance, psychologists discovered that though Hans was certainly clever, he was not clever in the way everyone expected. The horse was cunningly (聪明地) picking up on tiny, unintentional bodily and facial cues given out not only by his trainer, but also by theaudience. Aware of the “Clever Hans”effect, Lisa Lit at the University of California, Davis, and her colleagues wondered whether the beliefs of professional dog handlers might similarly affect the outcomes of searchers for drugs and explosives. Remarkably, Dr. Lit found, they do.Dr. Lit asked 18 professional dog handlers and their dogs to complete brief searches. Before the searches, the handlers were informed that some of the search area might contain up to three target scents (气味), and also that in two cases those scents would be marked by pieces of red paper. What the handlers were not told was that none of the search areas contained the scents of either drugs or explosives. Any “detections”made by the teams thus had to be false.The findings reveal that of 144 searches, only 21 were clean (no alerts). All the others raised one alert or more. In total, the teams raised 225 alerts. While the sheer number of false alerts struck Dr. Lit as fascinating, it was where they took place that was of greatest interest.When handlers could see a red piece of paper, allegedly marking a location of interest, they were much more likely to say that their dogs signaled an alert. The human handlers were not only distracted on almost every occasion by the stimulus aimed at them, but also transmitted that distraction to their animals —who responded accordingly. To mix metaphors, the dogs were crying “wolf”at the unconscious signal of their handlers.How much that matters in the real world is unclear. But it might. If a handler, for example, unconsciously “profiled”people being sniffed (嗅) by a drug- or explosive-detecting dog at an airport, false positives could abound (大量存在). That is not only bad for innocent travelers, but might distract the team from catching the guilty.57. What did psychologists find out about Clever Hans?A) He was really good at counting. C) He merely responded to human signals.B) He was as clever as people claimed. D) He could understand human language.58. What did the dog handlers learn before the searches?A) There was actually no target scent in the search area.B) Each search area contained three target scents.C) Their dogs were expected to find the scents of red paper.D) Some target scents may be labeled with a special mark.59. According to Dr. Lit, the most significant about the experiment was .A) the way the dogs raised alerts C) the average time of the searchesB) the location of the false alerts D) the number of the false alerts60. What can be concluded from the experiment?A) Dogs may act in response to their handlers’bodily signals.B) The cooperation between dogs and their handlers is key to success.C) Well-trained dogs can better understand their handlers’signals.D) Dog handlers are more likely to be distracted than their dogs.61. How does the author see Dr. Lit’s findings?A) They may not be useful in real situations.B) They should raise our concern in real life.C) They will be widely applied in the near future.D) They should be backed up by further evidence.Passage TwoQuestions 62 to 66 are based on the following passage.Being able to multitask is hailed by most people as a welcome skill, but not according to a recent study which claims that young people between the ages of eight and eighteen of the so-called Generation M are spending a considerable amount of their time in fruitless efforts as they multitask. It argues that, in fact, these young people are frittering (浪费) away as much as half of their time as they would if they performed the very same tasks one after the other.Some young people are using an ever larger number of electronic devices as they study. At the same time they are working, young adults are also surfing on the Internet, or sending out emails to their friends, and/or answering the telephone and listening to music on their iPods. As some new device comes along, it is also added to the list rather than replacing one of the existing devices.Other research has indicated that this multitasking is even affecting the way families themselves function as young people are too wrapped up in their own isolated worlds to interact with the other people around them. They can no longer greet family members when they enter the house nor can they eat at the family table.All this electronic wizardry (魔力) is supposedly also seriously affecting young people’s performance at university and in the workplace. When asked about their opinions of the impact of modern gadgets (小装置) on their performance of tasks, the great majority of young people gave a favorable response.The response from the academic and business worlds was not quite as positive. The former feel that multitasking with electronic gadgets by children affects later development of study skills, resulting in a decline in the quality of writing, for example, because of the lack of concentration on task completion. They feel that many undergraduates now urgently need remedial (补救的) help with study skills. Similarly, employers feel that young people entering the workforce need to be taught all over again.While all this may be true, it must be borne in mind that more and more is expected of young people nowadays; in fact, too much. Praise rather than criticism is due in respect of the way today’s youth are able to cope despite what the older generation throw at them.62. What do we learn about the multitasking Generation M from a recent study?A) They are highly praised for being efficient.B) They put more energy on important tasks.C) They don’t save much time as supposed.D) They need to improve their analytical skills.63. With the introduction of new gadgets, what happens to the Generation M’s present e-devices?A) They are put aside temporarily. C) They give way to the latest gadgets.B) They are either sold or traded. D) They become part of their collection.64. A research revealed that multitasking makes the Generation M ________.A) distant to their family C) impolite and ungratefulB) selfish and possessive D) feel lonely and pitiful65. The academics feel that many undergraduates badly need to ________.A) adjust their social attitudes C) improve their study skillsB) seek psychological assistance D) take more business courses66. What does the author suggest the older generation do in dealing with the multitasking youth?A) Heighten their expectations on the youth.B) Try to be supportive and understanding.C) Encourage the youth to stick to their old habits.D) Change the way the youth use the gadgets.“成千上万人疯狂下载。

You should write at least 150 words following the outline given below:1. 目前考古正形成热潮2. 分析这股热潮产生的原因3. 你的看法My View on Postgraduate Craze答案:[范文]My View on Postgraduate CrazeFor many college students, at the beginning of each fall semester, they will repeatedly be haunted by pamphlet ad distributors employed by various postgraduate tutoring schools. Indicative of those postgraduate tutoring ad is the popularity of college students applying to take the entrance examination for postgraduates.Undoubtedly, those postgraduate applicants have many concerns. Firstly, due to the fierce competition in the job market, many college graduates believe postgraduate degree holders will have a competitive edge in the job market. Secondly, as many college students are not satisfied with their current degree education, they want to pursue their studies in prestigious universities. In addition, many white collar workers decide to quit jobs and study in college again, which increases the boom of master's degree pursuers.However, a master's degree is not a guarantee of a decent job. As the number of master's degree graduates increases, many will have difficulty in finding their ideal jobs after investing so much time, energy and money.[写作点拨]本文要求考生就大学生热衷考研这一现象发表自己的看法。
