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 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:In bringing up children, every parent watches eagerly the child’s acquisition（学会）of each new skill -- the firstspoken words, the first independent steps, or the beginning 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. This might happen at any stage. A baby might be forced to use a toilet too early, a young child might be encouraged to learn to read before he knows the meaning of the words he reads. On the other hand, 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.Patents vary greatly in their degree of strictness towards their children. Some may 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. As regards the development of moral standards in the growing child, consistency is 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 grow confused, and emotionally insecure when they grow old enough to think for themselves, and realize they have been to some extent fooled.A sudden awareness of a marked difference between their parents’principles and their morals can be a dangerousdisappointment.11. Eagerly watching the child’s acquisition of new skills _________.A) should be avoidedB) is universal among parentsC) sets up dangerous states of worry in the childD) will make him lose interest in learning new things12. In the process of children’s learning new skills parents ______.A) should encourage them to read before they know the meaning of the words they readB) should not expect too much of themC) should achieve a balance between pushing them too hard and leaving them on their ownD) should create as many learning opportunities as possible13. The second paragraph mainly tells us that __________.A) parents should be strict with their childrenB) parental controls reflect only the needs of the parents and the values of the communityC) parental restrictions vary, and are not always enforced for the benefit of the children aloneD) parents vary in their strictness towards their children according to the situation14. The word “precept”(Line 3, Para.3) probably means “_________”.A) ideaB) punishmentC) behaviorD) instruction15. In moral matters, parents should __________.A) observe the rules themselvesB) be aware of the marked difference between adults and childrenC) forbid things which have no foundation in moralityD) consistently ensure the security of their childrenPassage TwoQuestions 16 to 20 are 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 to fashion to science, and the range of comment and special features （特写）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 alwaysby jumping from here to there, in and not 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 nay one reader is interested 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 than transient（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 newspaper. 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 self-awareness as you modify and apply the techniques of reading.16. A modern newspaper is remarkable for all the following except its _________.A) wide coverageB) uniform styleC) speed in reporting newsD) popularity17. According to the passage, the reason why no two people really read the “same”newspaper is that ________.A) people scan for the news they are interested inB) different people prefer different newspapersC) people are rarely interested in the same kind of newsD) people have different views about what a good newspaper is18. It can be conclude from the passage that newspaper readers ________.A) apply reading techniques skillfullyB) jump from one newspaper to anotherC) appreciate the variety of a newspaperD) usually read a newspaper selectively19. A good newspaper offers “a variety”to readers because _________.A) it tries to serve different readersB) it has to cover things that happen in a certain localityC) readers are difficult to pleaseD) readers like to read different newspapers20. The best title for this passage would be “__________”.A) The Importance of Newspaper TopicalityB) The Characteristics of a Good NewspaperC) The Variety of a Good NewspaperD) Some Suggestions on How to Read a NewspaperPassage ThreeQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage:American society is not nap（午睡）friendly. In fact, says David Dinges, a sleep specialist at the University ofPennsylvania 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 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 attitudetoward napping”, says Dr. William Dement of Stanford University, the godfather of sleep research.Last year a national commission led by Dement identified an “American sleep debt”which one member said was asimportant as the national debt, the commission was concerned about the dangers of sleepiness: people causing industrialaccidents 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-hour snooze（打瞌睡）every afternoon.About 60 percent of American adults nap when given the opportunity. We seem to have “a midafternoon quiet phase”also called “a secondary sleep gate.”Sleeping15 minutes to two hours in the early afternoon can reduce stress and make us refreshed. Clearly, we were born to nap.We Superstars of Snooze don’t nap to replace lost shut-eye or to prepare for a night shift. Rather, we “snack”onsleep, 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 _______.A) unreasonableB) criminalC) harmfulD) costly22. The research done by the Dement commission shows that Americans ________.A) don’t like to take napsB) are terribly worried about their national debtC) sleep less than is good for themD) have caused many industrial and traffic accidents23. The purpose of this article is to ___________.A) warn us of the wickedness of nappingB) explain the danger of sleepinessC) discuss the side effects of nappingD) convince the reader of the necessity of napping24. The “American sleep debt”(Line 1, Para.3) is the result of _________.A) the traditional misconception the Americans have about sleepB) the new sleep policy of the Clinton AdministrationC) the rapid development of American industryD) the Americans’worry about the danger of sleepiness25. The second sentence of the last paragraph tells us that it is __________.A) preferable to have a sound sleep before a night shiftB) good practice to eat something light before we go to bedC) essential to make up for cost sleepD) natural to take a nap whenever we feel the need for itPassage FourQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage:Violin prodigies（神童）, I learned, have come in distinct waves from distinct regions. Most of the 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 a concert 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.Another element in the emergence of prodigies, I found, is a society that valuesexcellence in a certain field tonurture（培育）talent. Nowadays, the most nurturing societies seem to be in the Far East. “In Japan, a most competitivesociety, 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.That’s a good thing, because even prodigies must work hard. Next to hard work, biological inheritance plays animportant 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 WestB) Jewish children are born with excellent musical talentC) they wanted their children to enter into the professional fieldD) it would enable the family to get better treatment in their own country27. 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 positions28. Japan is described in the passage as a country that attaches importance to _________.A) all-round developmentB) the learning of Western musicC) strict training of childrenD) 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-free society.30. Which of the following titles best summarises the main idea of the passage?A) Jewish Contribution to Music.B) Training of Musicians in the WorldC) Music and SocietyD) The Making of Prodigies“成千上万人疯狂下载。

This is the research finding of a team of Japanese doctors, who say that most of our brains are not getting enough exercise—and as a result, we are ageing unnecessarily soon.Professor Taiju Matsuzawa wanted to find out why otherwise healthy farmers in northern Japan appeared to be losing their ability to think and reason at a relatively early age, and how the process of ageing could be slowed down.With a team of colleagues at Tokyo National University, he set about measuring brain volumes of a thousand people of different ages and varying occupations.Computer technology enabled the researchers to obtain precise measurements of the volume of the front and side sections of the brain, which relate to intellect (智能) and emotion, and determine the human character. (The rear section of the brain, which controls functions like eating and breathing, does not contract with age, and one can continue living without intellectual or emotional faculties.)Contraction of front and side parts—as cells die off—was observed I some subjects in their thirties, but it was still not evident in some sixty- and seventy-year-olds.Matsuzawa concluded from his tests that there is a simple remedy to the contraction normally associated with age—using the head.The findings show in general terms that contraction of the brain begins sooner in people in the country than in the towns. Those least at risk, says Matsuzawa, are lawyers, followed by university professors and doctors. White collar workers doing routine workin government offices are, however, as likely to have shrinking brains as the farm worker, bus driver and shop assistant.Matsuzawa’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.”26. The team of doctors wanted to find out ________.A) why certain people age sooner than othersB) how to make people live longerC) the size of certain people’s brainsD) which people are most intelligent27. On what are their research findings based?A) A survey of farmers in northern Japan.1989年1月大学英语四级(CET-4)真题试卷（含答案）B) Tests performed on a thousand old people.C) The study of brain volumes of different peopleD) The latest development of computer technology.28.

According to the passage, which people seem to age slower than the others?A) Lawyers.B) Farmers.C) Clerks.D) Shop assistants.Passage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.On June 17, 1744, the officials from Maryland and Virginia held a talk with the Indians of the Six Nations. The Indians were invited to send boys to William and Mary College. In a letter the next day the refused the offer as follows:We know that you have a high opinion of the kind of learning taught in your colleges, and that the costs of living of our young men, while with you, would be very expensive to you. We are convinced that you mean to do us good by your proposal; and we thank you heartily. But you must know that different nations have different ways of looking at things, and you will therefore not be offended if your ideas of this kind of education happen not t be the same as yours. We have had some experience of it. Several of our young people were formerly brought up at the colleges of the northern provinces: they were taught all your sciences; but, when they came back to us, they were bad runners, ignorant of every means of living in the woods…they were totally good for nothing.We are, however, not the less obliged by your kind offer, though we refuse to accept it; and, to show our grateful sense of it, if the gentlemen of Virginia will send up a dozen7of their sons, we will take care of their education, teach them in all we know, and make men of them.31. The passage is about ________.A) the talk between the Indians and the officialsB) the colleges of northern provincesC) the educational values of the IndiansD) the problems of the Americans in the mid-eighteenth century32. The Indians’ chief purpose in writing the letter seems to be to ________.A) politely refuse a friendly offerB) express their opinion on equal treatmentC) show their prideD) describe Indian customs33. According to the letter, the Indians believed that ________.A) it would be better for their boys to receive some schoolingB) they were being insulted by the offerC) they knew more about science than the officialsD) they had a better way of educating young men34. Different from the officials’ view of education, the Indians though ________.A) young women should also be educatedB) they had different goals of educationC) they taught different branches of scienceD) they should teach the sons of the officials first35. The tone of the letter as a whole is best described as ________.A) angryB) pleasantC) politeD) inquiringPassage FourQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.In what now seems like the prehistoric times of computer history, the earth’s postwar era, there was quite a wide-spread concern that computers would take over the world from man one day. Already today, less than forty years later, as computers are1989年1月大学英语四级(CET-4)真题试卷（含答案）relieving us of more and more of the routine tasks in business and in our personal lives, we are faced with a less dramatic but also less foreseen problem. People tend to be over-trusting of computers and are reluctant to challenge their authority. Indeed, they behave as if they were hardly aware that wrong buttons may be pushed, or that a computer may simply malfunction (失误).Obviously, there would be no point in investing in a computer if you had to checkall its answers, but people should also rely on their own internal computers and check the machine when they have the feeling that something has gone wrong.Questioning and routine double-checks must continue to be as much a part of good business as they were in pre-computer days. Maybe each computer should come with the warning: for all the help this computer may provide, it should not be seen as a substitute for fundamental thinking and reasoning skills.36. What is the main purpose of this passage?A) To look back to the early days of computers.B) To explain what technical problems may occur with computers.C) To discourage unnecessary investment in computers.D) To warn against a mentally lazy attitude towards computers.37. According to the passage, the initial concern about computers was that they might________.A) change our personal livesB) take control of the worldC) create unforeseen problemsD) affect our businesses38. The passage recommends those dealing with computers to ________.A) be reasonably doubtful about themB) check all their answersC) substitute them for basic thinkingD) use them for business purposes only39. The passage s uggests that the present-day problem with regard to computers is________.A) challengingB) psychologicalC) dramaticD) fundamental40. It can be inferred from the passage that the author would disapprove of ________.9A) investment in computersB) the use of on e’s internal computerC) double-check on computersD) complete dependence on computers for decision-makingPart III Vocabulary and Structure (20 minutes)Directions: There are 30 incomplete sentences in this part.

The earth’s crust is divided into seven sections. These sections are called plates.When two plates push against each other, or when two plates rub against each other, an earthquake will occur. An earthquake causes the ground above the plate to shake. The shaking is caused by the motion of two plates.Earthquakes are likely to happen at the boundaries of the earth’s plates. Each of these plates is about 70 kilometers thick. Let’s take a look at the general boundaries of one of these seven major plate.Take the North American plate for an example. The left boundary of this plate is the west coat of North America and the east boundary of this plate is through the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. That is, this plate extends from the west coast of North America tothe middle of the Atlantic Ocean.Questions 11 to 13 are based on the passage you have just heard.11. What is the top layer of the earth called?12. How many major sections is the earth’s crust divided into?13. Which of the following is the left boundary of the North American plate?Passage 2Nowadays motorcycling is fast becoming one of America’s most popular sports. However, there are several things about motorcycling that the average citizen dislikes. Motorcyclists frequently look dirty; in fact, there are dirty. On the road there is little toprotect them from mud, insects, and bird droppings. For practical reasons they often dress in old clothing which looks much less respectable than the clothing of people who ride in cars. For the same reason motorcyclists usually wear dark colors.s low Of course the danger of motorcycling also helps account for many people’opinion of the sport. Its defenders, however, claim that careful cyclists are in less danger than is commonly believed. A cyclist must drive s if everybody around him wanted to kill him. He must pay careful attention to his driving. From that point of view, a man on a motorcycle is safer than a man in a car.Questions 14 to 16 are based on the passage you have just heard.14. Why do motorcyclists often dress in old and dark clothing?15. What is the average citizen’s opinion about motorcycling?16. How can a motorcyclist be safer than a car driver?Passage 3Robert Edwards was blinded in an automobile accident nine years age. He was also partially deaf because o f old age. Last week, he was walking near his home when a thunder-storm approached. He took shelter under a tree and was struck by lightning. He was knocked to the ground and woke up some 20 minutes later, lying face down in water below a tree. He went into the house and lay down in bed. A short time later, he awoke; his legs couldn’t move and he was trembling, but, when he opened his eyes, he could see the clock across the room in front of him. When his wife entered, he saw her for the first time in nine years. Doctors confirm that he has regained his sight and hearing apparently from the flash of lightning, but they are unable to explain the reason. The only possible explanation offered by one doctor was that, since Edwards lost his sight as a result of a hard blow in a terrible accident, perhaps the only way it could be restored was by another blow.Questions 17 to 20 are based on the passage you have just heard.17. What caused Robert Edwards’s blindness?18. Which was the first thing that he saw after being struck by lightning?19. What was Edwards doing when he was struck by lightning?20. What caused Edwards to regain his sight according to one of the doctors。

Part II?Reading Comprehension?(35 minutes)Direction:?There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B) C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage OneQuestions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:In bringing up children, every parent watches eagerly the child’s acquisition（学会）of each new skill-the first spoken words, the first independent steps, or the beginning 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: This might happen at any stage. A baby might be forced to use a toilet too early, a young child might be encouraged to learn to read before he knows the meaning of the words he reads. On the other hand, 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.Patents vary greatly in their degree of strictness towards their children. Some may 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.As regards the development of moral standards in the growing child, consistency is very important in parental teaching. To forbid a thing one day and excuse it the next is nofoundation 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 grow confused, and emotionally insecure when they grow old enough to think for themselves, and realize they have been to some extent fooled.A sudden awareness of a marked difference between their parents’principles and their morals can be a dangerous disappointment.11.?Eagerly watching the child’s acquisition of new skills _________.?A) should be avoided?B) is universal among parents?C) sets up dangerous states of worry in the child?D) will make him lose interest in learning new things12.?In the process of children’s learning new skills parents ______.A) should encourage them to read before they know the meaning of the words they readB) should not expect too much of themC) should achieve a balance between pushing them too hard and leaving them on their ownD) should create as many learning opportunities as possible13.?The second paragraph mainly tells us that __________.A) parents should be strict with their childrenB) parental controls reflect only the needs of the parents and the values of the communityC) parental restrictions vary, and are not always enforced for the benefit of the children aloneD) parents vary in their strictness towards their children according to the situation14.?The word “precept” (Line 3, Para.3) probably means “_________”.?A) idea?B) punishment?C) behavior?D) instruction15.?In moral matters, parents should __________.?A) observe the rules themselves?B) be aware of the marked difference between adults and children?C) forbid things which have no foundation in morality?D) consistently ensure the security of their childrenPassage TwoQuestions 16 to 20 are 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 to fashion to science, and the range of comment and special features （特写）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 not glancing at one piece, reading another article all the way through, reading just a few paragraphs of the next. A good modern newspaper offers variety to attract many different readers, but far more than nay one reader is interested in. What brings this variety together in one place is its topicality（时事性）, its immediate relationto 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 papers in a newspaper has no more than transient（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 newspaper. 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 self-awareness as you modify and apply the techniques of reading.16.?A modern newspaper is remarkable for all the following except its _________.?A) wide coverage?B) uniform style?C) speed in reporting news?D) popularity17.?According to the passage, the reason why no two people really read the “same” newspaper is that ________.?A) people scan for the news they are interested in?B) different people prefer different newspapers?C) people are rarely interested in the same kind of news?D) people have different views about what a good newspaper is18.?It can be conclude from the passage that newspaper readers ________.?A) apply reading techniques skillfully?B) jump from one newspaper to another?C) appreciate the variety of a newspaper?D) usually read a newspaper selectively19.?A good newspaper of fers “a variety” to readers because _________.?A) it tries to serve different readers?B) it has to cover things that happen in a certain locality?C) readers are difficult to please?D) readers like to read different newspapers20.?The best title for thi s passage would be “__________”.?A) The Importance of Newspaper Topicality?B) The Characteristics of a Good Newspaper?C) The Variety of a Good Newspaper?D) Some Suggestions on How to Read a NewspaperPassage ThreeQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage: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 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 University, the godfather of sleep research.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 commission wasconcerned 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-hour snooze（打瞌睡）every afternoon.About 60 percent of American adults nap when given the opportunity. We seem to have “a midafternoon quiet phase”also called “a secondary sleep gate.”Sleeping 15 minutes to two hours in the early afternoon can reduce stress and make us refreshed. Clearly, we were born to nap.We Superstars of Snooze don’t nap to replace lost shut-eye or to prepare for a night 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; andin libraries, offices and museums.21.?It is commonly accepted in American society that too much sleep is _______.?A) unreasonable?B) criminal?C) harmful?D) costly22.?The research done by the Dement commission shows that Americans ________.?A) don’t like to take naps?B) are terribly worried about their national debt?C) sleep less than is good for them?D) have caused many industrial and traffic accidents23.?The purpose of this article is to ___________.?A) warn us of the wickedness of napping?B) explain the danger of sleepiness?C) discuss the side effects of napping?D) convince the reader of the necessity of napping24.?The “American sleep debt” (Line 1, Para.3) is the result of _________.?A) the traditional misconception the Americans have about sleep?B) the new sleep policy of the Clinton Administration?C) the rapid development of American industry?D) the Americans’ worry about the danger of sleepiness25.?The second sentence of the last paragraph tells us that it is __________.?A) preferable to have a sound sleep before a night shift?B) good practice to eat something light before we go to bed?C) essential to make up for cost sleep?D) natural to take a nap whenever we feel the need for itPassage FourQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage:Violin prodigies（神童）, I learned, have come in distinct waves from distinct regions. Most of the 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 a concert stage.” As a result, every Jewish parent’s dream was tohave a child in the music school because it was a passport to the West.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.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 country27.?Nurturing societies as mentioned in the passage refer to societies that, _________. ?A) enforce strong discipline on students who want to achieve excellence?B) treasure talent and provide opportunities for its full development?C) encourage people to compete with each other?D) promise talented children high positions28.?Japan is described in the passage as a country that attaches importance to_________.?A) all-round 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-free society.30.?Which of the following titles best summarises the main idea of the passage??A) Jewish Contribution to Music.?B) Training of Musicians in the World?C) Music and Society?D) The Making of ProdigiesPart III?Vocabulary and Structure?(20 minutes)Directions:?There are 30 incomplete sentences in this part.

Spilich put young non-smokers, active smokers and smokers deprived (被剥夺) of cigarettes through a series of tests.In the first test, each subject (试验对象) sat before a computer screen and pressed a key as soon as he or she recognized a target letter among a grouping of 96. In this simple test, smokers, deprived smokers and non-smokers performed equally well.The next test was more complex, requiring all to scan sequences of 20 identical letters and respond the instant one of the letters transformed into a different one. Non-smokers were faster, but under the stimulation of nicotine (尼古丁), active smokers were faster than deprived smokers.In the third test of short-term memory, non-smokers made the fewest errors, but deprived smokers committed fewer errors than active smokers.The fourth test required people to read a passage, then answer questions about it. Non-smokers remembered 19 percent more of the most important information than active smokers, and deprived smokers bested those who had smoked a cigarette just before testing. Active smokers tended not only to have poorer memories but also had trouble separating important information from insignificant details."As our tests became more complex, ' Sums up Spilich, "non-smokers performed better than smokers by wi- der and wider margins." He predicts, "smokers might perform adequately at many jobs -- until they got complicated. A smoking airline pilot could fly adequately if no problems arose, but ff something went wrong, smoking might damage his mental capacity. '21. The purpose of George Spilich's experiments is ______.A) to test whether smoking has a positive effect on the mental capacity of smokersB) to show how smoking damages people's mental capacityC) to prove that smoking affects people's regular performanceD) to find out whether smoking helps people's short-term memory22. George Spilich's experiment was conducted in such a way as to ______.A) compel the subjects to separate major information from minor detailsB) put the subjects through increasingly complex testsC) check the effectiveness of nicotine on smokersD) register the prompt responses of the subjects23. The word "bested" ( Line 3, Para. 5) most probably means ______.A) beat B) envied C) caught up with D) made the best of24. Which of the following statements is true?A) Active smokers in general performed better than deprived smokers.B) Active smokers responded more quickly than the other subjects.C) Non-smokers were not better than other subjects in performing simple tasks.D) Deprived smokers gave the slowest responses to the various tasks.25. We can infer from the last paragraph that __A) smokers should not expect to become airline pilotsB) smoking in emergency cases causes mental illnessC) no airline pilots smoke during flightsD) smokers may prove unequal to handling emergency casesQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage:There is no denying that students should learn something about how computers work, just as we expect them at least to understand that the internal-combustion engine (内燃机) has something to do with burning fuel, expanding gases and pistons (活塞) being driven. For people should have some basic idea of how the things that they use do what they do. Further, students might be helped by a course that considers the computer's impact on society. But that is not what is meant by computer literacy. For computer literacy is not a form of literacy (读写能力) it is a trade skill that should not be taught as a liberal art.Learning how to use a computer and learning how to program one are two distinct activities. A case might be made that the competent citizens of tomorrow should free themselves from their fear of computers. But this is quite different from saying that ail ought to know how to program one. Leave that to people who have chosen programming as a career. While programming can be lots of fun, and while our society needs some people who are experts at it, the same is true of auto repair and violinmaking.Learning how to use a computer is not that difficult, and it gets easier all the time as programs become more "user-friendly'. Let us assume that in the future everyone is going to have to know how to use a computer to be a competent citizen. What does the phrase "learning to use a computer" mean? It sounds like "learning to drive a car", that is, it sounds as if there is some set of definite skills that, once acquired, enable one to use a computer.In fact, "learning to use a computer" is much more like "learning to play a game", but learning the roles of one game may not help you play a second game, whose rules may not be the same. There is no such a thing as teaching someone how to use a computer. One can only teach people to use this or that program and generally that is easily accomplished.26. To be the competent citizens of tomorrow, people should _____.A) try to lay a solid foundation in computer scienceB) be aware of how the things that they use do what they doC) learn to use a computer by acquiring a certain set of skillsD) understand that programming a computer is more essential than repairing a car27. In the second paragraph "violin-making" is mentioned to show that _____.A) programming a computer is as interesting as making a violinB) our society needs experts in different fieldsC) violin-making requires as much skill as computer programmingD) people who can use a computer don't necessarily have to know computer programming28. Learning to use a computer is getting easier all the time because _____.A) programs are becoming less complicatedB) programs are designed to be convenient to usersC) programming is becoming easier and easierD) programs are becoming readily available to computer users29. According to the author, the phrase "learning to usc a computer"( Lines 3-4, Para. 3) means learning_____.A) a set of rules B) the fundamentals of computer scienceC) specific programs D) general principles of programming30. The author's purpose in writing this passage is _____.A) to stress the impact of the computer on societyB) to explain the concept of computer literacyC) to illustrate the requirements for being competent citizens of tomorrowD) to emphasize that computer programming is an interesting and challenging jobQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:The way people hold to the belief that a fun-filled, pain-free life equals happiness actually reduces their chances of ever attaining real happiness. If fun and pleasure are equal to happiness then pain must be equal to un- happiness. But in fact, the opposite is true: more often than not things that lead to happiness involve some pain.As a result, many people avoid the very attempts that are the source of true happiness. They fear the pain inevitably brought by such things as marriage, raising children, professional achievement, religious commitment (承担的义务) , self-improvement.Ask a bachelor (单身汉) why he resists marriage even though he finds dating to be less and less satisfying. If he is honest he will tell you that he is afraid of making a commitment. For commitment is in fact quite painful. The single life is filled with fun, adventure, excitement. Marriage has such moments, but they are not its most distinguishing features.Couples with infant children are lucky to get a whole night's sleep or a three-day vacation. I don't know any parent who would choose the word fun to describe raising children. But couple who decide not to have children never know the joys of watching a child grow up or of playing with a grandchild.Understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun is one of the most liberating realizations. It liberates time: now we can devote more hours to activities that can genuinely increase our happiness. It liberates money: buying that new car or those fancy clothes that will do nothing to increase our happiness now seems pointless. And it liberates us from envy: we now understand that all those who are always having 8o much fun actually may not be happy at all.31. According to the author, a bachelor resists marriage chiefly because _____.A) he is reluctant to take on family responsibilitiesB) he believes that life will be more cheerful if he remains singleC) he finds more fun in dating than in marriageD) he fears it will put an end to all his fun, adventure and excitement32. Raising children, in the author's opinion, is _____.A) a moral duty B) a thankless jobC) a rewarding task D) a source of inevitable pain33. From the last paragraph, we learn that envy sometimes stems from _____.A) hatred B) misunderstandingC) prejudice D) ignorance34. To understand what true happiness is one must _____.A) have as much fun as possible during one's lifetimeB) make every effort to liberate oneself from painC) put up with pain under all circumstancesD) be able to distinguish happiness from fun35. What is the author trying to tell us?A) Happiness often goes hand in hand with pain.B) One must know how to attain happiness.C) It is important to make commitments.D) It is pain that leads to happiness.Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:It's very interesting to note where the debate about diversity (多样化) is taking place. It in taking place primarily in political circles. Here at the College Fund, we have a lot of contact with top corporate (公司的) lead- ers; none of them is talking about getting rid of those instruments that produce diversity. In fact, they say that if their companies are to compete in the global village and in the global market place, diversity is an imperative. They also say that the need for talented, skilled Americans means we have to expand the pool of potential employees. And in locking at where birth rates are growing and at where the population is shifting, corporate America understands that expanding the pool means promoting policies that help provide skills to more minorities, more women and more immigrants. Corporate leaders know that if that doesn't occur in our society, they will not have the engineers, the scientists, the lawyers, or the business managers they will need.Likewise, I don't hear people in the academy saying. "Let's go backward. Let's go back to the good old days, when we had a meritocracy (不拘一格选人才)" ( which was never true -- we never had a meritocracy, although we've come closer to it in the last 30 years). I recently visited a great little college in New York where the campus has doubled its minority population in the last six years. I talked with an African American who has been a prefesset there for a long time, and she remembers that when she first joined the community, there were fewer than a handful of minorities on campus. Now, all of us feel the university is better because of the diversity. So where we hear this debate is primarily in political circles and in the media-not in corporate board rooms or on college campuses.36. The word "imperative"( Line 4, Para. 1) most probably refers to something _____.A) superficial B) remarkable C) debatable D) essential37. Which of the following groups of people still differ in their views on diversity?A) Minorities. B) Politicians. C) Professors. D) Managers.38. High corporate leaders seem to be in favor of promoting diversity so as to_____.A) lower the rate of unemploymentB) win equal political rights for minoritiesC) be competitive in the world marketD) satisfy the demands of a growing population39. It can be inferred from the passage that _____.A) meritocracy can never be realized without diversityB) American political circles will not accept diversityC) it is unlikely that diversity will occur in the U. S. mediaD) minorities can only enter the fields where no debate is heard about diversity40. According to the passage diversity can be achieved in American society by _____.A) expanding the pool of potential employeesB) promoting policies that provide skills to employeesC) training more engineers, scientists lawyers and business managersD) providing education for all regardless of race or sexPart ⅢVocabulary and Structure (20 minutes)41.

There are over 2,000 community theatres in the United States today, about 4.5 million people work of perform inthese theatres for an audience of more than 50 million people annually. These theatres are amateur organizations and are different from professional theatre companies. A community theatre may have its own building or perform in a school or church hall. The actors and actresses do not receive money for their work in the communitly theatre. They have other jobs to support themselves instead. Small communities can't support a full time theatre. They cannot pay actors directors or stage workers, so the theatre participants work for free. One purpose of community theatre is to provide an opportunity for creative work. Many people join in community theatres because they want to perform or to be creative. Several people in a community theatre group were asked why they join. Each one said he or she needed to be creative, to do something original. One man said "Iloved to act, it's the only time I feel a life". Another said " Ihave a very boring job. In the play, I can create something." One woman said "My whole life is occupied by husband and family. I need something more than that." Another purpose of community theatre is to educate and improve the community. Theatre is an art that also introduces new ideas to the audience.Questions 11 to 13 are based on the passage you have just heard.11. How many people participate in the work of community theatres in the United States?12. How are community theatres different from professional theatre companies?13. What opportunity does the community theatre provide to the people in a community?Passage TwoAccording to a new study done at the Medical School of University of California at Los Anglos, left handed people may be more likely to have accidents than the right handed. One reason maybe: left handers tend to make minor mental mistakes. In the study of 2000 sailors, those who had more mental errors also had more accidents, and left handers were reported to have more mental errors and more accidents than right handers. The author of the study Jim Watson said "Minor mental mistakes are mistakes that any adults would make when were tired or careless and they could lead to accidents because we lose track of what we are doing". Paul White, chief of the study program said that he found the study interesting and exciting. But he warned that the conclusions should not be accepted without further investigation. He said the study had limitations, and limitations could have influenced the results. Jim Watson, who is right handed himself, stressed that the study was not an official project and said that the findings cannot be applied to every left hander. He said minor mental mistakes can be regarded as evidence of lack of concentration. But in the past, it was believed that left handers tended to have more accidents largely because most equipment was designed for right handers.Questions 14 to 16 are based on the passage you have just heard.14. What is said about left handers in the study?15. What was said about the study program?16. What was the traditional explanation of left handers having more accidents?Passage ThreeOn 15th, Feb, 1989 an instant survey was carried out among 18 overseas postgraduate students. 11 students were male and 7 were female, the purpose of the survey was to discover the views of the students on a number of matter so f personal concern. The survey was conducted by means of a questionnaire given to the students to complete.There were five questions. The first question concerned favorite color and the second favorite number. The next 3 questions were all concerned with aspects of marriage. No.3 looked at the ideal age to get married, No.4 examined the qualities looked for in a partner and No.5 asked about the ideal number of children. The main findings were as follows: Blue was the most popular color. This wasfollowed by Green and Purple. There was no real significance in the choice of lucky number. About one third of the students said thatthey had none. Sixty-one percent of the students selected the age group 26 to 30 years as ideal for marriage, followed by 21 to 25 years. In looking at the most important qualities in an ideal partner, someone hoped the person to be Intelligent, others chose Natural,still others indicated Attractive and Honest. The ideal number of children was 2, followed by 3. It is not easy to reach any definite conclusions based upon such a small sample of students from such widely different backgrounds. However, it is clear that majority favorite of 26 to 30 is the ideal age to get married with anintelligent partner, and producing 2 children.Questions 17 to 20 are based on the passage you have just heard.17. Who were involved in this instant survey?18. What do the 5 questions to be answered focus on?19. What color was chosen as the most popular in the survey?20. Why is it difficult to reach any definite conclusions from the survey?参考答案Part I Listening Comprehension1-10 B B A B B C A D D A11-20 D A C C A B D D B C。

(S10) ________Part II Reading Comprehension (35 minutes)Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choicesmarked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and markthe corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through thecenter.Passage OneQuestions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage.In bringing up children, every parent watches eagerly the child’s acquisition (学会) of each new skill-the first spoken words, the first independent steps, or the beginning 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: This might happen at any stage. A baby might be forced to use a toilet too early, a young child might be encouraged to learn to read before he knows the meaning of the words he reads. On the other hand, 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.Patents vary greatly in their degree of strictness towards their children. Some may be especially strict in money matters. Others are sever over times of coming home atnight 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.As regards the development of moral standards in the growing child, consistency is 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 grow confused, and emotionally insecure when they grow old enough to think for themselves, and realize they have been to some extent fooled.A sudden awareness of a marked difference between their parents’principles and their morals can be a dangerous disappointment.11. Eagerly watching the child’s acquisition of new skills ________.A) should be avoidedB) is universal among parentsC) sets up dangerous states of worry in the childD) will make him lose interest in learning new things12. In the process of children’s learning new skills parents ________.A) should encourage them to read before they know the meaning of the words theyreadB) should not expect too much of themC) should achieve a balance between pushing them too hard and leaving them ontheir ownD) should create as many learning opportunities as possible13. The second paragraph mainly tells us that ________.A) parents should be strict with their childrenB) parental controls reflect only the needs of the parents and the values of thecommunityC) parental restrictions vary, and are not always enforced for the benefit of thechildren aloneD) parents vary in their strictness towards their children according to the situation14. The word “precept” (Line 3, Para. 3) probably means “________”.A) ideaB) punishmentC) behaviorD) instruction15. In moral matters, parents should ________.A) observe the rules themselvesB) be aware of the marked difference between adults and childrenC) forbid things which have no foundation in moralityD) consistently ensure the security of their childrenPassage TwoQuestions 16 to 20 are 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 to fashion to science, and the range of comment and special features (特写) 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 not glancing at one piece, reading another article all the way through, reading just a few paragraphs of the next. A good modern newspaper offers variety to attract many different readers, but far more than nay one reader is interested 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 papers in a newspaper has no more than transient (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 newspaper. 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 self-awareness as you modify and apply the techniques of reading.16. A modern newspaper is remarkable for all the following except its ________.A) wide coverageB) uniform styleC) speed in reporting newsD) popularity17. According to the passage, the reason why no two people really read the “same”newspaper is that ________.A) people scan for the news they are interested inB) different people prefer different newspapersC) people are rarely interested in the same kind of newsD) people have different views about what a good newspaper is18. It can be conclude from the passage that newspaper readers ________.A) apply reading techniques skillfullyB) jump from one newspaper to anotherC) appreciate the variety of a newspaperD) usually read a newspaper selectively19. A good newspaper offers “a variety” to readers because ________.A) it tries to serve different readersB) it has to cover things that happen in a certain localityC) readers are difficult to pleaseD) readers like to read different newspapers20. The best title for this passage would be “________”.A) The Importance of Newspaper TopicalityB) The Characteristics of a Good NewspaperC) The Variety of a Good NewspaperD) Some Suggestions on How to Read a NewspaperPassage ThreeQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.American society is not nap (午睡) friendly. In fact, says David Dinges, a sleep specialist at the Universi ty 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 proverb: “Some sleep five hours, nature requires seven, laziness nine and wickedness el even.”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 University, the godfather of sleep research.Last year a national commission l ed by Dement identified an “American sleep debt” which one member said was as important as the national debt, the commission was 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-hour snooze (打瞌睡) every afternoon.About 60 percent of American adults nap when given the opportunity. We seem to have “a midafternoon quiet phase” also called “a secondary sleep gate.” Sleeping 15 minutes to two hours in the early afternoon can reduce stress and make us refreshed. Clearly, we were born to nap.We Superstars of Snooze don’t nap to replace lost shut-eye or to prepare for a night 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 inlibraries, offices and museums.21. It is commonly accepted in American society that too much sleep is ________.A) unreasonableB) criminalC) harmfulD) costly22. The research done by the Dement commission shows that Americans ________.A) don’t like to take napsB) are terribly worried about their national debtC) sleep less than is good for themD) have caused many industrial and traffic accidents23. The purpose of this article is to ________.A) warn us of the wickedness of nappingB) explain the danger of sleepinessC) discuss the side effects of nappingD) convince the reader of the necessity of napping24. The “American sleep debt” (Line 1, Para. 3) is the result of ________.A) the traditional misconception the Americans have about sleepB) the new sleep policy of the Clinton AdministrationC) the rapid development of American industryD) the Americans’ worry about the danger of sleepiness25. The second sentence of the last paragraph tells us that it is ________.A) preferable to have a sound sleep before a night shiftB) good practice to eat something light before we go to bedC) essential to make up for cost sleepD) natural to take a nap whenever we feel the need for itPassage FourQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.Violin prodigies (神童), I learned, have come in distinct waves from distinct regions. Most of the 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 allJews (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 a concert 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.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.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 schoolbecause ________.A) it would allow them access to a better life in the WestB) Jewish children are born with excellent musical talentC) they wanted their children to enter into the professional fieldD) it would enable the family to get better treatment in their own country27. 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 positions28. Japan is described in the passage as a country that attaches importance to ________.A) all-round developmentB) the learning of Western musicC) strict training of childrenD) variety in academic studies29. Which of the following contributes to the emergence of musical prodigies accordingto the passage?A) A natural gift.B) Extensive knowledge of music.C) Very early training.D) A prejudice-free society.30. Which of the following titles best summarises the main idea of the passage?A) Jewish Contribution to MusicB) Training of Musicians in the WorldC) Music and SocietyD) The Making of ProdigiesPart III Vocabulary and Structure (20 minutes)Directions: There are 30 incomplete sentences in this part.

Whenthe passage is read for the second time, you are required to fill in theblanks numbered from SI to S7 with the exact words you have just heard.For blanks numbered from S8 to S10 you are required to fill in the missinginformation. You can either use the exact words you have just heard orwrite down the main points in your own words.

For each of them there are four choicesmarked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and markthe corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through thecenter.Passage OneQuestions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage.Scratchy throats, stuffy noses and body aches all spell misery, but being able to tell if the cause is a cold or flu (流感) may make a difference in how long the misery lasts.The American Lung Association (ALA) has issued new guidelines on combating colds and the flu, and one of the keys is being able to quickly tell the two apart. That’s because the prescription drugs available for the flu need to be taken soon after the illness sets in. As for colds, the sooner a person starts taking over-the-counter remedy, the sooner relief will come.The common cold and the flu are both caused by viruses. More than 200 viruses can cause cold symptoms, while the flu is caused by three viruses—flu A, B and C. There is no cure for either illness, but the flu can be prevented by the flu vaccine (疫苗), which is, for most people, the best way to fight the flu, according to the ALA.But if the flu does strike, quick action can help. Although the flu and common cold have many similarities, there are some obvious signs to look for.Cold symptoms such as stuffy nose, runny nose and scratchy throat typically develop gradually, and adults and teens often do not get a fever. On the other hand, fever is one of the characteristic features of the flu for all ages. And in general, flu symptoms including fever and chills, sore throat and body aches come on suddenly and are more severe than cold symptoms.The ALA notes that it may be particularly difficult to tell when infants and preschool age children have the flu. It advises parents to call the doctor if their small children have flu-like symptoms.Both cold and flu symptoms can be eased with over-the-counter medications as well. However, children and teens with a cold or flu should not take aspirin for pain relief because of the risk of Reye syndrome (综合症)，a rare but serious condition of the liver and central nervous system.There is, of course, no vaccine for the common cold. But frequent hand washing and avoiding close contact with people who have colds can reduce the likelihood of catching one.11. According to the author, knowing the cause of the misery will help ________.A) shorten the duration of the illnessB) the patient buy medicine over the counterC) the patient obtain cheaper prescription drugsD) prevent people from catching colds and the flu12. We learn from the passage that ________.A) one doesn’t need to take any medicine if he has a cold or the fluB) aspirin should not be included in over-the-counter medicines for the fluC) delayed treatment of the flu will harm the liver and central nervous systemD) over-the-counter drugs can be taken to ease the misery caused by a cold or theflu13. According to the passage, to combat the flu effectively, ________.A) one should identify the virus which causes itB) one should consult a doctor as soon as possibleC) one should take medicine upon catching the diseaseD) one should remain alert when the disease is spreading14. Which of the following symptoms will distinguish the flu from a cold?A) A stuffy nose.B) A high temperature.C) A sore throat.D) A dry cough.15. If children have flu-like symptoms, their parents ________.A) are advised not to give them aspirinB) should watch out for signs of Reye syndromeC) are encouraged to take them to hospital for vaccinationD) should prevent them from mixing with people running a feverPassage TwoQuestions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.In a time of low academic achievement by children in the United States, many Americans are turning to Japan, a country of high academic achievement and economic success, for possible answers. However, the answers provided by Japanese preschools are not the ones Americans expected to find. In most Japanese preschools, surprisingly little emphasis is put on academic instruction. In one investigation, 300 Japanese and 210 American preschool teachers, child development specialists, and parents were asked about various aspects of early childhood education. Only 2 percent of the Japanese respondents (答问卷者) listed “to give children a good start academically” as one of their top three reasons for a society to have preschools. In contrast, over half the American respondents chose this as one of their top three choices. To prepare children for successful careers in first grade and beyond, Japanese schools do not teach reading, writing, and mathematics, but rather skills such as persistence, concentration, and the ability to function as a member of a group. The vast majority of young Japanese children are taught to read at home by their parents.In the recent comparison of Japanese and American preschool education, 91 percent of Japanese respondents chose providing children with a group experience as one of their top three reasons for a society to have preschools. Sixty-two percent of the more individually oriented (强调个性发展的) Americans listed group experience as one of their top three choices. An emphasis on the importance of the group seen in Japanese early childhood education continues into elementary school education.Like in America, there is diversity in Japanese early childhood education. Some Japanese kindergartens have specific aims, such as early musical training or potential development. In large cities, some kindergartens are attached to universities that have elementary and secondary schools. Some Japanese parents believe that if their young children attend a university-based program, it will increase the children’s chances of eventually being admitted to top-rated schools and universities. Several more progressive programs have introduced free play as a way out for the heavy intellectualizing in some Japanese kindergartens.16. We learn from the first paragraph that many Americans believe ________.A) Japanese parents are more involved in preschool education than AmericanparentsB) Japan’s economic success is a result of its scientific achievementsC) Japanese preschool education emphasizes academic instructionD) Japan’s higher education is superior to theirs17. Most Americans surveyed believe that preschools should also attach importance to________.A) problem solvingB) group experienceC) parental guidanceD) individually-oriented development18. In Japan’s preschool education, the focus is on ________.A) preparing children academicallyB) developing children’s artistic interestsC) tapping children’s potentialD) shaping children’s character19. Free play has been introduced in some Japanese kindergartens in order to ________.A) broaden children’s horizonB) cultivate children’s creativityC) lighten children’s study loadD) enrich children’s knowledge20. Why do some Japanese parents send their children to university-basedkindergartens?A) They can do better in their future studies.B) They can accumulate more group experience there.C) They can be individually oriented when they grow up.D) They can have better chances of getting a first-rate education.Passage ThreeQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.Lead deposits, which accumulated in soil and snow during the 1960’s and 70’s, were primarily the result of leaded gasoline emissions originating in the United States. In the twenty years that the Clean Air Act has mandated unleaded gas use in the United States, the lead accumulation worldwide has decreased significantly.A study published recently in the journal Nature shows that air-borne leaded gas emissions from the United States were the leading contributor to the high concentration of lead in the snow in Greenland. The new study is a result of the continued research led by Dr. Charles Boutron, an expert on the impact of heavy metals on the environment at the National Center for Scientific Research in France. A study by Dr. Boutron published in 1991 showed that lead levels in arctic (北极的) snow were declining.In his new study, Dr. Boutron found the ratios of the different forms of lead in the leaded gasoline used in the United States were different from the ratios of European, Asian and Canadian gasolines and thus enabled scientists to differentiate (区分) the lead sources. The dominant lead ratio found in Greenland snow matched that found in gasoline from the United States.In a study published in the journal Ambio, scientists found that lead levels in soil in the Northeastern United States had decreased markedly since the introduction of unleaded gasoline.Many scientists had believed that the lead would stay in soil and snow for a longer period.The authors of the Ambio study examined samples of the upper layers of soil taken from the same sites of 30 forest floors in New England, New York and Pennsylvania in 1980 and in 1990. The forest environment processed and redistributed the lead faster than the scientists had expected.Scientists say both studies demonstrate that certain parts of the ecosystem (生态系统) respond rapidly to reductions in atmospheric pollution, but that these findings should not be used as a license to pollute.21. The study published in the journal Nature indicates that ________.A) the Clean Air Act has not produced the desired resultsB) lead deposits in arctic snow are on the increaseC) lead will stay in soil and snow longer than expectedD) the US is the major source of lead pollution in arctic snow22. Lead accumulation worldwide decreased significantly after the use of unleaded gasin the US ________.A) was discouragedB) was enforced by lawC) was prohibited by lawD) was introduced23. How did scientists discover the source of lead pollution in Greenland?A) By analyzing the data published in journals like Nature and Ambio.B) By observing the lead accumulations in different parts of the arctic area.C) By studying the chemical elements of soil and snow in Northeastern America.D) By comparing the chemical compositions of leaded gasoline used in variouscountries.24. The authors of the Ambio study have found that ________.A) forests get rid of lead pollution faster than expectedB) lead accumulations in forests are more difficult to deal withC) lead deposits are widely distributed in the forests of the USD) the upper layers of soil in forests are easily polluted by lead emissions25. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that scientists ________.A) are puzzled by the mystery of forest pollutionB) feel relieved by the use of unleaded gasolineC) still consider lead pollution a problemD) lack sufficient means to combat lead pollutionPassage FourQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.Exercise is one of the few factors with a positive role in long-term maintenance of body weight. Unfortunately, that message has not gotten through to the average American, who would rather try switching to “light” beer and low-calorie bread than increase physical exertion. The Centers for Disease Control, for example, found that fewer than one-fourth of overweight adults who were trying to shed pounds said they were combining exercise with their diet.In rejecting exercise, some people may be discouraged too much by caloric-expenditure charts: for example, one would have to briskly walk three miles just to work off the 275 calories in one delicious Danish pastry (小甜饼). Even exercise professionals concede half a point here. “Exercise by itself is a very tough way to lose weight,” says York Onnen, program director of the President’s Council on Physical Fitness and Sports.Still, exercise’s supporting role in weight reduction is vital. A study at the Boston University Medical Center of overweight police officers and other public employees confirmed that those who dieted without exercise regained almost all their old weight, while those who worked exercise into their daily routine maintained their new weight.If you have been sedentary (极少活动的) and decide to start walking one mile a day, the added exercise could burn an extra 100 calories daily. In a year’s time, assuming no increase in food intake, you could lose ten pounds. By increasing the distance of your walks gradually and making other dietary adjustments, you may lose even more weight.26. What is said about the average American in the passage?A) They tend to ex aggerate the healthful effect of “light” beer.B) They usually ignore the effect of exercise on losing weight.C) They prefer “light” beer and low-calorie bread to other drinks and food.D) They know the factors that play a positive role in keeping down body weight.27. Some people dislike exercise because ________.A) they think it is physically exhaustingB) they find it hard to exercise while on a dietC) they don’t think it possible to walk 3 miles every dayD) they find consulting caloric-expenditure charts troublesome28. “Even exercise professionals concede half a point here” (Line 3, Para. 2) means“They ________”.A) agree that the calories in a small piece of pastry can be difficult to work off byexerciseB) partially believe diet plays a supporting role in weight reductionC) are not fully convinced that dieting can help maintain one’s new weightD) are not sufficiently informed of the positive role of exercise in losing weight29. What was confirmed by the Boston University Medical Center’s study?A) Controlling one’s calorie intake is more important than doing exercise.B) Even occasional exercise can help reduce weight.C) Weight reduction is impossible without exercise.D) One could lose ten pounds in a year’s time if there’s no increase in food intake.30. What is the author’s purpose in writing this article?A) To justify the study of the Boston University Medical Center.B) To stress the importance of maintaining proper weight.C) To support the statement made by York Onnen.D) To show the most effective way to lose weight.Part III Vocabulary (20 minutes)Directions: There are 30 incomplete sentences in this part.
