(10 points)Harlan C oben believes that if you’re a writer, you’ll find the time;and that if you can’t find the time, then writing isn’t a priority and you’re not a writer.For him, writing is a 1 job, a job like any other. He has 2 it with plumbing, pointing out that a plu mber doesn’t wake up and say that he can’t wo rk with pipes today.3 , like most writers these days, you’re holding down a job to pay the bills, it’s not4 to find the time to write. But it’s not impossible. It requires determination and single-mindedness.5 that most best selling authors began writing when they were doing other things to earn a living. And today, even writers who are fairly6 often have to do other work to7 their writing income.As Harlan Coben has suggested it’s a8 of priorities. To make writing a priority, you'll have to 9 some of your day-to-day activities and some things you really enjoy. Depending on your 10 and your lifestyle, that might mean spending less time watching television or listening to music, though some people can write 11 they listen to music. You might have to 12 the amount of exercise or sport you do. You’ll have to make social media an13 activity rather than a daily, time-consuming 14 . There’ll probably have to be less socializ ing with your with your family. It’s a15 learning curve, and it won’t always make you popular.There’s just one thing you should try to keep at least some time for16 your writing and that’s reading. Any write needs to read as mach and as widely as they can. It’s the one 17 supporter-s omething you can’t do without.Time is finite, the older you yet, the 18 it seems to go. We need to use it as carefully and as 19 as we can. That means prioritising out activities so that we spend most time on the things we really want to do. If you are a writer, that means 20 writing.1.[A] difficult2.[A] combined3.[A] If4.[A] enough5.[A] Accept6.[A] well-known7.[A] donate8.[A] cause9.[A] highlight10.[A] relations11.[A] until12.[A] put up with13.[A] intelligent [B] normal[B] compared[B] Through[B] strange[B] Explain[B] well-advised[B] generate[B] purpose[B] sacrifice[B] interests[B] because[B] make up for[B] occasional[C] steady[C] confused[C] Once[C] wrong[C] Remember[C] well-informed[C] supplement[C] question[C] continue[C] memories[C] while[C] hang on to[C] intensive[D] pleasant[D] confronted[D] Unless[D] easy[D] Suppose[D] well-chosen[D] calculate[D] condition[D] explore[D] skills[D] before[D] cut down on[D] emotional14.[A] habit15.[A] tough16.[A] in addition to17.[A] indispensable18.[A] duller19.[A] peacefully20.[A] at most[B] test[B] gentle[B] in charge of[B] innovative[B] harder[B] generously[B] in turn[C] decision[C] rapid[C] in response to[C] invisible[C] quieter[C] productively[C] on average[D] plan[D] funny[D] in addition to[D] instant[D] quicker[D] gratefully[D] above all Section II Reading ComprehensionPart ADirections：Read the following four texts.

Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET. （40 points）Text 1On a recent sunny day, 13,000 chickens roam over Larry Brown’s 40 windswept acres in Shiner, Texas. Some rest in the shade of a parked car. Others drink water with the cows. This all seems random, but it’s by design, part of what the $6.1 billion U.S. egg in dustry bets will be its next big thing: climate-friendly eggs.These eggs, which are making their debut now on shelves for as much as $8 a dozen, are still labeled organic and animal-friendly, but they’re also from birds that live on farms using regenerative agriculture—special techniques to cultivate rich soils that can trap greenhouse gases. Such eggs could be marketed as helping to fight climate change.“I’m excited about our progress,” says Brown, who harvests eggs for Denver-based NestFresh Eggs and is adding more cover crops that draw worms and crickets for the chickens to eat. The birds’ waste then fertilizes fields. Such improvements “allow our hens to forage for higher-quality natural feed that will be good for the land, the hens, and the eggs that we supply to our customers.”The egg industry’s push is the first major test of whether animal products from regenerative farms can become the next premium offering. In barely more than a decade, organic eggs went from being dismissed as a niche product in natural foods stores to being sold at Walmart. More recently there were similar doubts about probiotics and plant-based meats, but both have exploded into major supermarket categories. If the sustainable-egg rollout is successful, it could open the floodgates for regenerative beef, broccoli, and beyond.Regenerative products could be a hard sell, because the concept is tough to define quickly, says Julie Stanton, associate professor of agricultural economics at Pennsylvania State University Brandywine. Such farming also brings minimal, if any, improvement to the food products (though some producers say their eggs have more protein).The industry is betting that the same consumers paying more for premium attributes such as free-range, non-GMO, and pasture-raised eggs will embrace sustainability. Surveys show that younger generations are more concerned about climate change, and some of the success ofplant-based meat can be chalked up to shoppers wanting to signal their desire to protect the environment. Young adults “really care about the planet,” says John Brunnquell, president of Egg Innovations. “They are absolutely altering the food chain beyond what I think even they understand what they’re doing.”21. The climate-friendly eggs are produced ______.[A] at a considerably low cost [B] at the demand of regular shoppers[C] as a replacement for organic eggs [D] on specially designed farms22. Larry Brown is excited about his progress in ______.[A] reducing the damage of climate change [B] accelerating the disposal of waste[C] creating a sustainable system [D] attracting customers to his products23. The example of organic eggs is used in Paragraph 4 to suggest ______.[A] the doubts over natural feeds [B] the setbacks in the egg industry[C] the potential of regenerative products [D] the promotional success of supermarkets24. It can be learned from the last paragraph that young people ______.[A] are reluctant to change their diet [B] are likely to buy climate-friendly eggs[C] are curious about new food [D] are amazed at agriculture advances25. John Brunnquell would disagree with Julie Stanton over regenerative product’s _____.[A] market prospects [B] standard definition[C] nutritional value [D] moral implicationText 2More Americans are opting to work well into retirement, a growing trend that threatens to up end the old workforce model.One in three Americans who are at least 40 have or plan to have a job in retirement to prepare for a longer life, according to a survey conducted by Harris Poll for TD Ameritrade. Even more surprising is that more than half of “unretirees”–those who plan to work in retirement or went back to work after retiring–said they would be employed in their later years even if they had enough money to settle down, the survey showed.Financial needs aren’t the only culprit for the “unretirement” trend. Other reasons, according to the study, include personal fulfillment such as staying mentally fit, preventing boredom or avoiding depression.“The concept of retirement is evolving,” said Christine Russell, senior manager of retirement at TD Ameritrade. “It’s not just about finances. The value of work is also driving folks to continue working past retirement.”One reason for the change in retirement patterns: Americans are living longer. The share of the population 65 and older was 16% in 2018, up 3.2% from the prior year, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. That’s also up 30.2% since 2010.Because of longer life spans, Americans are also boosting their savings to preserve their nest eggs, the TD Ameritrade study showed, which surveyed 2,000 adults between 40 to 79. Six in 10 “unretirees” are increasing their savings in anticipation of a longer life, according to the survey. Among the most popular ways they are doing this, the company said, is by reducing their overall expenses, securing life insurance or maximizing their contributions to retirement accounts.Unfortunately, many people who are opting to work in retirement are preparing to do so because they are worried about making ends meet in their later years, said Brent Weiss, a co-founder at Baltimore-based financial-planning firm Facet Wealth. He suggested that preretirees should speak with a financial adviser to set long-term financial goals.“The most challenging moments in life are getting married, starting a family and ultimately retiring,” Weiss said. “It’s not just a financial decision, but an emotional one. Many people believe they can’t retire.”26. The survey conducted by Harris Poll indicates that .[A] over half of the retirees are physically fit for work[B] the old workforce is as active as the younger one does[C] one in three Americans enjoy earlier retirement[D] more Americans are willing to work in retirement27. It can be inferred from Paragraph 3 that Americans tend to think that .[A] retirement may cause problems for them[B] boredom can be relieved after retirement[C] the mental health of retirees is overlooked[D] “unretirement”contributes to the economy28. Retirement patterns are changing partly due to .[A] labor shortage [B] population growth[C] longer life expectancy [D] rising living costs29. Many retirees are increasing their savings by .[A] investing more in stocks [B] taking up odd jobs[C] getting well-paid work [D] spending less30. With regard to retirement, Brent Weiss thinks that many people are .[A] unprepared [B] unafraid[C] disappointed [D] enthusiasticText 3We have all encountered them, in both our personal and professional lives. Think about the times you felt tricked or frustrated by a membership or subscription that had a seamless sign-up process but was later difficult to cancel. Something that should be simple and transparent can be complicated, intentionally or unintentionally, in ways that impair consumer choice. These are examples of dark patterns.First coined in 2010 by user experience expert Harry Brignull, “dark patter ns" is a catch-all term for practices that manipulate user interfaces to influence the decision-making ability of users. Brignull identifies 12 types of common dark patterns, ranging from misdirection and hidden costs to “roach motel”, where a user experie nce seems easy and intuitive at the start, but turns difficult when the user tries to get out.In a 2019 study of 53,000 product pages and 11,000 websites, researchers found that about one in 10 employs these design practices. Though widely prevalent, the concept of dark patterns is still not well understood. Business and nonprofit leaders should be aware of dark patterns and try to avoid the gray areas they engender.Where is the line between ethical, persuasive design and dark patterns? Businesses should engage in conversations with IT, compliance, risk, and legal teams to review theirprivacy policy, and include in the discussion the customer/user experience designers and coders responsible for the company's user interface, as well as the marketers and advertisers responsible for sign-ups, checkout baskets, pricing, and promotions. Any or all these teams can play a role in creating or avoiding “digital deception.”Lawmakers and regulators are slowly starting to address the ambiguity around dark patterns, most recently at the state level. In March, the California Attorney General announced the approval of additional regulations under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) that “ensure that consumers will not be confused or misled when seeking to exercise their data privacy rights.” The regulations aim to ban dark patterns- this means prohibiting companies from using "confusing language or unnecessary steps such as forcing them to click through multiple screens or listen to reasons why they shouldn’t opt out.”As more states consider promulgating additional regulations, there is a need for greater accountability from within the business community. Dark patterns also can be addressed on a self-regulatory basis, but only if organizations hold themselves accountable, not just to legal requirements, but also to industry best practices and standard.31. It can be learned from the first two paragraphs that dark patterns ______.[A] improve user experiences [B] leak user information for profit[C] underm ine users’ decision-making [D] remind users of hidden costs32. The 2019 study on dark patterns is mentioned to show ______.[A] their major flaws [B] their complex designs[C] their severe damage [D] their strong presence33. To handle digital deception, businesses should ______.[A] listen to customer feedback [B] talk with relevant teams[C] turn to independent agencies [D] rely on professional training34. The additional regulations under the CCPA are intended to ______.[A] guide users through opt-out processes[B] protect consumers from being tricked[C] grant companies data privacy rights[D] restrict access to problematic content35. According to the last paragraph, a key to coping with dark patterns is ______.[A] new legal requirements [B] businesses' self-discipline[C] strict regulatory standards [D] consumers' safety awarenessText 4Although ethics classes are common around the world, scientists are unsure if their lessons can actually change behavior; evidence either way is weak, relying on contrived laboratory tests or sometimes unreliable self-reports. But a new study published in Cognition found that, in at least one real-world situation, a single ethics lesson may have had lasting effects.The researchers investigated one class session’s impact on eating meat. They chose this particular behavior for three reasons, according to study co-author Eric Schwitzgebel, a philosopher at the University of California, Riverside: s tudents’ attitudes on the topic are variable and unstable, behavior is easily measurable, and ethics literature largely agrees that eating less meat is good because it reduces environmental harm and animal suffering. Half ofthe students in four large philosophy classes read an article on the ethics of factory-farmed meat, optionally watched an 11-minute video on the topic and joined a 50-minute discussion. The other half focused on charitable giving instead. Then, unknown to the students, the researchers studied their anonymized meal-card purchases for that semester—nearly 14,000 receipts for almost 500 students.Schwitzgebel predicted the intervention would have no effect; he had previously found that ethics professors do not differ from other professors on a range of behaviors, including voting rates, blood donation and returning library books. But among student subjects who discussed meat ethics, meal purchases containing meat decreased from 52 to 45 percent—and this effect held steady for the study’s dur ation of several weeks. Purchases from the other group remained at 52 percent.“That's actually a pretty large effect for a pretty small intervention,” Schwitzgebel says. Psychologist Nina Strohminger at the University of Pennsylvania, who was not involved in the study, says she wants the effect to be real but cannot rule out some unknown confounding variable. And if real, she notes, it might be reversible by another nudge: “Easy come, easy go.”Schwitzgebel suspects the greatest impact came from social influence—classmates or teaching assistants leading the discussions may have shared their own vegetarianism, showing it as achievable or more common. Second, the video may have had an emotional impact. Least rousing, he thinks, was rational argument, although his co-authors say reason might play a bigger role. Now the researchers are probing the specific effects of teaching style, teaching assistants’ eating habits and students’ video exposure. Meanwhile Schwitzgebel—who had predicted no effect—will be eating his words.36. Scientists generally believe that the effects of ethics classes are ______.[A] hard to determine [B] narrowly interpreted[C] difficult to ignore [D] poorly summarized37. Which of the following is a reason for the researchers to study meat-eating?[A] It is common among students. [B] It is a behavior easy to measure.[C] It is important to students’ health.[D] It is a hot topic in ethics classes.38. Eric Schwitzgebel’s previous findings suggest that et hics professors ______.[A] are seldom critical of their students[B] are less sociable than other professors[C] are not sensitive to political issues[D] are not necessarily ethically better39. Nina Strohminger thinks that the effect of the intervention is ______.[A] permanent [B] predictable[C] uncertain [D] unrepeatable40. Eric Schwitzgebel suspects that the students’ change in behavior ______.[A] can bring psychological benefits [B] can be analyzed statistically[C] is a result of multiple factors [D] is a sign of self-developmentPart BDirections：Read the following text and match each of the numbered items in the left column to its corresponding information in the right column.

It also helps build strength and stamina.Getting back into exercise can be a challenge in the best of times, but with gyms and in-person exercise classes off - limits to many people these days because of COVID-19 concerns, it can be tricky to know where to start. And it’s important to get the right dose of activity. “Too much too soon either results in injury or burnout,” says Mary Yoke, PhD, a faculty member in the kinesiology department at Indiana University in Bloomington.The following simple strategies will help you return to exercise safely after a break.41.____________________Don’t try to go back to what you were doing before your break. If you were walking 3 miles a day, playing 18 holes of golf three times week, or lifting 10-pound dumbbells for three sets of 10 reps, reduce activity to half a mile every other day, or nine holes of golf once a week with short walks on other days, or use 5-pound dumbbells for one set of 10 reps.Increase time, distance, and intensity gradually. “This isn’t something you can do overnight,” Denay says. But you will reap benefits such as less anxiety and improved sleep right away.42.____________________If you’re breathing too hard to talk in complete sentences, back off. If you feel good, go a little longer or faster. Feeling wiped out after a session? Go easier next time. And stay alert to serious symptoms, such as chest pain or pressure, severe shortness of breath or dizziness, or faintness, and seek medical attention immediately.43.____________________Consistency is the key to getting stronger and building endurance and stamina.Ten minutes of activity per day is a good start, says Marcus Jackovitz, DPT, a physical therapist at the University of Miami Hospital. All the experts we spoke with highly recommend walking because it’s the easiest, most accessible f orm of exercise. Although it canbe a workout on its own, if your goal is to get back to Zumba classes, tennis, cycling, or any other activity, walking is also a great first step.44.____________________Even if you can’t yet do a favorite activity, you ca n practice the moves. With or without a club or racket, swing like you’re hitting the ball. Paddle like you're in a kayak or canoe. Mimic your favorite swimming strokes. The action will remind you of the joy the activity brought you and prime your muscles for when you can get out there again.45.____________________Exercising with others “can keep you accountable and make it more fun, so you're more likely to do it again,” ¬Jackovitz says.You can do activities such as golf and tennis or take a walk with others and still be socially distant. But when you can’t connect in person, consider using technology. Chat on the phone with a friend while you walk around your neighborhood. FaceTime or Zoom with a relative as you strength train or stretch at home.You can also join a livestream or on-demand exercise class. SilverSneakers offers them for older adults, or try EverWalk for virtual challenges.Section III Translation41. Directions:Read the following text carefully and then translate the underlined segments into Chinese. Your translation should be written neatly on the ANSWER SHEET. (10 points) Although we try our best, sometimes our paintings rarely turn out as originally planned. Changes in the light, the limitations of your painting materials, and the lack of experience and technique mean that what you start out trying to achieve may not come to life the way that you expected.Although this can be frustrating and disappointing, it turns out that this can actually be good for you. Unexpected results have two benefits: you pretty quickly learn to deal with disappointment and realise that when one door closes, another opens. You also quickly learn to adapt and come up with creative solutions to the problems the painting presents, and thinking outside the box will become your second nature.In fact, creative problem-solving skills are incredibly useful in daily life, with which you are more likely to be able to find a solution when a problem arises.Section IV WritingPart A42.

They are in space, and they can reach any part of the world. The satellites take pictures of the atmosphere, because this is where the weather forms（形成）. They send these pictures to the weather stations. So meteorologists（气象学家）can see the weather of any part of theworld. From the pictures, the scientists can often say how the weather will change.Today, nearly five hundred weather stations in sixty countries receive satellite pictures. When they receive new pictures, the meteorologists compare（比较）them with earlier ones. Perhaps they may find that the clouds have changed during the last few hours. This may mean that the weather on the ground may soon change, too. In their next weather forecast, the meteorologists can say this.So the weather satellites are a great help to the meteorologists. Before satellites were invented, the scientists could forecast the weather for about 24 or 48 hours. Now they can make good forecasts for three or five days. Soon, perhaps, they may be able to forecast the weather for a week or moreahead.1．Satellites travel _____________.A in spaceB in the atmosphereC above the groundD above space2．Why do we use the weather satellites to take pictures of the atmosphere? Because __________.A the weather satellites can do it easilyB clouds form thereC the weather forms thereD the pictures can forecast the weather3．Meteorologists forecast the weather __________.A when they have received satellite picturesB after they have compared new satellite pictures with earlier onesC before they received satellite picturesD during they study satellite pictures4．Maybe we’ll soon be able to forecast the weather for ________.A one dayB two daysC five daysD seven days or even longer5．The main idea of this passage is that satellites are now used in _________.A taking pictures of the atmosphereB receiving pictures of the atmosphereC doing other work in many waysD weather forecasting2）December 25 is Christmas Day.

At midnight of December 253）In what now seems like the prehistoric times of computer history, the early postwar era, there was a quite widespread concern that computers would take over the world from man one day. Already today, less than forty years later, as computers are 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.Obviously, there would be no point in investing in a computer if you had to check all 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 awry. 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 following warning: for all the help this computer may provide, it should not be seenas a substitute for fundamental thinking and reasoning skills.1. 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.2.

The most 8 changes will be observed in skill level;strength and inches lostFor these 9 ; I stopped weighing myself every day and switched to a bimonthly weighing schedule 10 . Since weight loss is not my goal; it is less important for meto_ 11 _ my weight each week. Weighing every other week allows me to observe and 12 any significant weight changes. That tells me whether I need to 13 my training program.I use my bimonthly weigh-in 14 to get information about my nutrition as well. If my training intensity remains the same; but I'm constantly 15 and dropping weight; this is a 16 that I needto increase my daily caloric intake.The 17 to stop weighing myself every day has done wonders for my overall health; fitness and well-being.

Answer the questions below each text by choosing A; B;C or D. Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET. 40 pointsText 1Unlike so-called basic emotions such as sadness; fear; and anger; guilt emerges a little later; in conjunction with a child’s growing grasp of social and moral norms. Children aren’t born knowing how to say “I’m sorry”; rather; they learn over time that such statements app ease parents and friends -- and their own consciences. This is why researchers generally regardso-called moral guilt; in the right amount; to be a good thing.In the popular imagination; of course; guilt still gets a bad rap. It is deeply uncomfortable-- it's the emotional equivalent of wearing a jacket weighted with stones. Yet this understanding is outdated. “There has been a kind of revival or a rethinking about what guilt is and what role guilt can serve;” says Amrisha Vaish; a psychology researcher at the University of Virginia; adding that this revival is part of a larger recognition that emotions aren’t binary -- feelings that may be advantageous in one context may be harmful in another. Jealousy and anger; for example; may have evolved to alert us to important inequalities. Too much happiness can be destructive.And quilt ; by prompting us to think more deeply about our goodness; can encourage humans to make up for errors and fix relationships. Guilt; in other words; can help hold a cooperative species together. It is a kind of social glue.Viewed in this light; guilt is an opportunity. Work by Tina Malti ; a psychology professor at the University of Toronto ;suggests that guilt may compensate for an emotional deficiency. In a number of studies; Malti and others have shown that guilt and sympathy may represent different pathways to cooperation and sharing. Some Kids who are low in sympathy may make up for that shortfall by experiencing more guilt; which can rein in their nastier impulses. And vice versa : High sympathy can substitute for low guilt.In a 2014 study; for example; Malti looked at 244 children. Using caregiver assessments and the children’s self-observations; she rated each child’s overall sympathy level and his or her tendency to feel negative emotions after moral transgressions. Then the kids were handed chocolate coins; and given a chance to share them with an anonymous child. For thelow-sympathy kids; how much they shared appeared to turn on how inclined they were to feel guilty. The guilt-prone ones share more; even though they hadn’t magically become more sympathetic to the other child’s deprivation.“That’s good news;” Malti says; “We can be prosocial because we caused harm and we feel regret.”21. Researchers think that guilt can be a good thing because it may help _______.A. regulate a child’s basic emotionsB. improve a child’s intellectual abilityC. foster a child’s moral developmentD. intensify a child’s positive feelings22. According to Paragraph 2; many people still consider guilt to be _______.A. deceptiveB. burdensomeC. addictiveD. inexcusable23. Vaish holds that the rethinking about guilt comes from an awareness that _______.A. emotions are context-independentB. emotions are socially constructiveC. emotional stability can benefit healthD. an emotion can play opposing roles24. Malti and others have shown that cooperation and sharing _______.A. may help correct emotional deficienciesB. can result from either sympathy or guiltC. can bring about emotional satisfactionD. may be the outcome of impulsive acts25. The word “transgressions” Line 4; Para. 5 is closest in meaning to _______.A. teachingsB. discussionsC. restrictionsD. wrongdoings21-25参考答案：21、答案C foster a child’s positive feelings解析根据题干“researchers”;“guilt”; “a good thing”关键词定位到第一段最后一句;除此之外;提干中还有关键词“because”; 判定该题属于细节题中考查因果逻辑关系的题目;需要在原文中精准回文定位;原文中第一段最后一段明确出现了“This is why researchers generally regard so-called moral guilt...a good thing.”根据代词向前文指代的原则;题干中所问的原因就在上一句;由“Children aren’t born knowing how to say ‘I’m sorry’; rather; they learn over time that such statements appease parents and friends----and their own conscience”;其中的“such statements appease parents and friends----and their own conscience”该品质能够使父母/朋友和孩子自己都感觉更舒适;such statements指代的即为“say sorry”或文章主题词guilt; 纵观四个选型;只有C选项foster a child’s moral development提高孩子的道德发展可以实现同义替换;故为正确答案..其余选项A.regulate a child’s basic emotions 管理孩子基本情绪中的regulate原文未提及; B. improve a child’s intellectual ability改善孩子的智力中intellectual ability原文未提及;而D.intensify a child’s positive feelings加强孩子的积极感觉在原文中未提及;故排除..22、答案B burdensome解析根据题干可知这是一个典型的细节题..根据题干关键信息“paragraph 2; “ many people still consider guild to be”定位到第二段;最终锁定对本段第二句话的理解;尤其关键的是对第二句话中破折号的理解;“it is deeply uncomfortable—it’s the emotional equivalent of wearing a jacket wei ghted with stones. ” 这种感觉非常不舒服;就像穿着一件石头做的夹克一样; 对比所给四个选项;只有B 项“burdensome”负担沉重的;繁重的与原文表述一致;故为最佳答案.. A项“deceptive” 欺骗的C项“addictive”上瘾的以及D项“inexcusable” 不可原谅的均与原文表述不一致;故排除..23、答案D an emotion can play opposing roles解析根据题干可知这是一个典型的细节题..根据题干关键信息“Vaish holds that …awareness that.” 定位本文的第二段“There has been a kind of revival or a rethinking …can serve.”但是这句话是他的观点句;也就是题干信息所在句;本句没有答案;因此;根据线性思维;下文他又继续补充到“adding that this revival is a psychology researcher…..in another ”这种复兴是更大的认识的一部分;即情绪不是二元情感;在一个情境中有利的情绪在另一个情境中可能是有害的; 对比四个选项;只有D“an emotion can play opposing roles” 情绪可以起到相反的作用为最佳答案..A项“emotions are context-independent”情绪与语境无关与原文表述相反.. B 项“emotions are socially constructive”从社会角度讲;情绪具有积极性在文中没有提及..C项“emotional stability can benefit health”情绪稳定有益与身体健康在文中没有提及;故排除..24、答案B can result from either sympathy or guilt解析根据题干可知这是一道人物观点题..根据题干关键词“Malti and others have shown 与cooperation and sharing.”回文定位到第四段第三句：“Malti and others have shown that guilt and sympathy may represent different pathways to cooperation and sharing.” 马尔蒂和其他人已经表明;内疚和同情可能代表了合作和分享的不同途径.. 对比四个选项;只有B项can result fromeither sympathy or guilt要么归因于同情;要么归因于内疚与原文表述一致;故为正确选项..A项may help correct emotional deficiencies可能有助于改正情感缺陷与第四段第二句话… that guilt may compensate for an emotional deficiency内疚可能会弥补情感缺陷不符..C项can bring about emotional satisfaction能够带来情感上的满足并未提及..D项may be the outcome of impulsive acts 可能是冲动行为的结果与第四段第三句…which can rein in their nastier impulses这可以控制他们更糟糕的冲动因果倒置;故排除..25、答案D wrongdoings解析根据题干要求定位到第五段第二句话“Using caregiver assessments and the children’s self-observations; she rated each child's overall sympathy level and his or her tendency to feel negative emotions after moral transgressions.” 且位于主句的“transgressions”的前面出现to feel negative emotions;情感属于消极贬义..对比四个选项;D项wrongdoings坏事;不道德的行为;属于贬义词;与其情感色彩一致;故为正确选项..A项teachings 教导;属于褒义词..B项discussions 讨论;属于中性词 ..C项restrictions 限制;约束;属于中性词;故排除..Text 2Forests give us shade; quiet and one of the harder callenges in the fight against climate change. Even as we humans count on forests to soak up a good share of the carbon dioxide we produce; we are threatening their ability to do so.The climate change we are hastening could one day leave us with forests that emit more carbon than they absorb.Thankfully; there is a way out of this trap - but it involves striking a subtle balance. Helping forests flourish as valuable "carbon sinks" long into the future may require reducing their capacity to absorb carbon now. Califormia is leading the way; as it does on so many climate efforts; in figuring out the details.The state's proposed Forest Carbon Plan aims to double efforts to thin out young trees and clear brush in parts of the forest. This temporarily lowers carbon-carrying capacity. But the remaining trees draw a greater share of the available moisture; so they grow and thrive; restoring the forest's capacity to pull carbon from the air. Healthy trees are also better able to fend off insects. The landscape is rendered less easily burnable. Even in the event of a fire; fewer trees are consumed.The need for such planning is increasingly urgent. Already; since 2010;drought and insects have killed over 100 million trees in California; most of them in 2016 alone; and wildfires have burned hundreds of thousands of acres.California plans to treat 35;000 acres of forest a year by 2020; and 60;000 by 2030 - financed from the proceeds of the state' s emissions- permit auctions. That's only a small share of the total acreage that could benefit; about half a million acres in all; so it will be vital to prioritize areas at greatest risk of fire or drought.The strategy also aims to ensure that carbon in woody material removed from the forests is locked away in the form of solid lumber or burned as biofuel in vehicles that would otherwise run on fossil fuels. New research on transportation biofuels is already under way.State governments are well accustomed to managing forests; but traditionally they've focused on wildlife; watersheds and opportunities for recreation. Only recently have they come to see the vital part forests will have to play in storing carbon. Califormia's plan; which is expected to be finalized by the governor next year; should serve as a model.26. By saying “one of the harder challenges ;”the author implies that_________.A. global climate change may get out of controlB. people may misunderstand global warmingC. extreme weather conditions may ariseD. forests may become a potential threat27. To maintain forests as valuable “carbon sinks;" we may need to__________.A. preserve the diversity of species in themB. accelerate the growth of young treesC. strike a balance among different plantsD. lower their present carbon-absorbing capacity28. California's Forest Carbon Plan endeavors to_______.A. cultivate more drought-resistant treesB. reduce the density of some of its forestsC. find more effective ways to kill insectsD. restore its forests quickly after wildfires29.What is essential to California's plan according to Paragraph 5A. To handle the areas in serious danger first.B. To carry it out before the year of 2020.C. To perfect the emissions-permit auctions.D. To obtain enough financial support.30. The author's attitude to California's plan can best be described as________.A. ambiguousB. tolerantC. supportiveD. cautious26-30参考答案：26.答案D forests may become a potential threat解析根据题干信息词定位到首段..第一句引出文章话题“在人类对抗气候变化中;森林给我们带来了一个更为艰巨的挑战..”第二句指出人类正在威胁到森林吸收二氧化碳的能力..第三句“The climate change we are hastening could one day leave us with forest that emit more carbon than they absorb.”为本段的主题句;指出我们人类所造成的气候变化问题最终会使得森林排放更多的二氧化碳;而不是吸收..即森林可能会威胁气候的恶化和人类的生存..故选择D项“森林可能会变为一个潜在威胁..”27.答案D Lower their present carbon-absorbing capacity解析根据题干要求定位到第二段..该段首句中的前半句there is a way out of this trap对应题干中To maintain forest as valuable “carbon sinks”; 后半句提出具体的解决方法it involves striking a subtle balance这需要达到一个微妙的平衡;但并没有说这个平衡是不同植被间的平衡;故不能据此选Cstrike a balance among different plants..紧接着第二句提到要达到这一目的可能需要reducing their forests’ capacity to absorb carbon now降低他们森林现在吸收碳的能力;由此可知正确答案应为D选项..28.答案B reduce the density of some of its forests解析细节题做题的技巧是“准确定位和匹配”..根据题干关键词“Forest Carbon Plan”定位至第三段第一句话..题干中问题是“endeavor to”表示“努力做…”对应文章中“double efforts to” ;因此答案在这个短语之后即“thin out young trees and clear brush in parts of the forest”表示的意思是使“森林里部分小树变稀疏;清理部分灌木”;这与选项C中的“reduce the density of some of it s fforests”即“降低森林的密度”一致..因此正确答案选C..29. 答案A To handle the areas inserious danger first解析根据题目定位到第5段;题目What is essential to California's plan 中的essential可回文定位;对应原文中的so it will be vital to prioritize areas at greatest risk of fire or drought的vital;其后的prioritize对应选项中的handle…first;areas at greatest risk对应选项中的the areas in serious danger;故正确选项为A..30.答案C supportive解析根据题干关键词“attitude”;可确定是态度题..做态度题的核心是把握明显感情色彩的关键词;即可快速得出答案..而在文章的最后一段;往往会出现本文的结论;容易出现感情色彩的关键词..根据最后一段最后一句;California's plan; which is ……; should serv e as a model California的计划应该能够起到榜样作用;model是一个积极色彩的词汇;所以答案选B supportive 支持的..Text 3American farmers have been complaining of labor shortages for several years now. Given a multi-year decline in illegal immigration; and a similarly sustained pickup in the U.S. job market; the complaints are unlikely to stop without an overhaul of immigration rules for farm workers.Efforts to create a more straightforward agricultural-workers visa that would enable foreign workers to stay longer in the U.S. and change jobs within the industry have so far failed in Congress. If this doesn’t change; American businesses; communities and consumers will be the losers.Perhaps half of U.S. farm laborers are undocumented immigrants. As fewer such workers enter the U.S.; the characteristics of the agricultural workforce are changing. Today’s farm laborers; while still predominantly born in Mexico; are more likely to be settled; rather than migrating; and more likely to be married than single. They are also aging. At the start of this century; about one-third of crop workers were over the age of 35. Now; more than half are. Andcrop picking is hard on older bodies.One oft-debated cure for this labor shortage remains as implausible as it has been all along: Native U.S. workers wo n’t be returning to the farm.Mechanization is not the answer either — not yet at least. Production of corn; cotton; rice; soybeans and wheat have been largely mechanized; but many high-value; labor-intensive crops; such as strawberries; need labor. Even dairy farms; where robots currently do only a small share of milking; have a long way to go before they are automated.As a result; farms have grown increasingly reliant on temporary guest workers using theH-2A visa to fill the gaps in the agricultural workforce. Starting around 2012; requests for the visas rose sharply; from 2011 to 2016 the number of visas issued more than doubled.The H-2A visa has no numerical cap; unlike the H-2B visa for nonagricultural work; which is limited to 66;000 annually. Even so; employers frequently complain that they aren’t allotted all the workers they need. The process is cumbersome; expensive and unreliable. One survey found that bureaucratic delays led H-2A workers to arrive on the job an average of 22 days late. And the shortage is compounded by federal immigration raids; which remove some workers and drive others underground.In a 2012 survey ;71 percent of tree-fruit growers and nearly 80 percent of raisin and berry growers said they were short of labor. Some western growers have responded by moving operations to Mexico. From 1998-2000; 14.5 percent of the fruit Americans consumed was imported. Little more than a decade later; the share of imported fruit had increased to 25.8 percent.In effect; the U.S. can import food or it can import the workers who pick it.31.What problem should be addressed according to the first two paragraphsA.Discrimination against foreign workers in the U.S.B.Biased laws in favor of some American businesses.C.Flaws in U.S. immigration rules for farm workers.D. Decline of job opportunities in U.S. agriculture.32. One trouble with U.S. agricultural workforce is_______.A.the rising number of illegal immigrantsB.the high mobility of crop workersC.the lack of experienced laborersD.the aging of immigrant farm workers33. What is the much-argued solution to the labor shortage in U.S. farmingA. To attract younger laborers to farm work.B. To get native U.S. workers back to farming.C. To use more robots to grow high-value crops.D. To strengthen financial support for farmers.34. Agricultural employers complain about the H-2A visa for its ___.A. slow granting proceduresB. limit on duration of stayC. tightened requirementsD. control of annual admissions35.Which of the following could be the best title for this textA. U.S. Agriculture in DeclineB. Import Food or LaborC. America Saved by MexicoD. Manpower vs. Automation31-35参考答案：31、答案C Flaws in U.S. immigration rules for farm workers解析根据题干提示词first two paragraphs可知本题依据文章前两段命制;为双段推理型题目..快速扫读可知前两段大意为：美国针对外来农民所定移民规则中存在一些问题;并指出如不及时解决美国商业;社会以及消费者都会受到影响..比对选项可直接判断正确选项为C项;其余选项均属无中生有;直接排除..32、答案D the aging of immigrant farm workers解析细节推理题..根据题干中的trouble; U.S. agricultural workforce以及段落序列定位到文中第三段第二句..定位段第三至七句都在论证第二句的内容;其中第三句论证的是劳动力的来源及其倾向;第四至七句论证的是劳动力在变老并指出picking crops is hard on older bodies. 与选项D吻合..选项A中的rising及illegal属于无中生有;选项B中的high mobility与定位段中的farm labors are more likely to be settled rather than immigrating矛盾;选项C属无中生有..33、答案B To get native U.S. workers back to farming.解析细节题..根据题干中的much-argued solution to the labor shortage定位到第三段最后一句;其中oft-debated对应原文的much-argued;solution对应原文的cure;剩余信息出答案;冒号解释了这个经常被谈论的方法：美国本国工人不会重返农场..说明本身的解决方法是让美国本国工人回到农场;与选项B一致..A选项attract younger laborers在文章未体现;文章只是提到现在的farm laborer在老龄化..C选项出现在文章的第四段;文章只是说在high-value crops上需要劳动力..在乳牛场机器人只做了一小部分工作..选项将两部分杂糅在一起了..D选项中financial support在文中未提及;属于无中生有..34、答案A slow granting procedures解析因果细节题..根据题干中的具体信息;agricultural employers;complain;about the H-2Avisa..回文定位到第六段..根据具体信息定位到第六段的;Employe rs complain they aren’t given all the workers they need.这句话是抱怨的内容;文中问的是原因;紧接着下面一句话;the process is cumbersome;expensive;and unreliable.并且在这句话后面one survey 是例子..根据例子证明论点;下面的例子和前面的the process这句话表达的观点是一致的..同时;在例子中有for的同义词lead to;导致了arrive on the job 22 days late.

Shy people are anxious and self-conscious; that is, they are excessively concerned with their own appearance and actions. Worrisome thoughts are constantly occurring in their minds: what kind of impression am I making? Do they like me? Do I sound stupid? Am I wearing unattractive clothes?It is obvious that such uncomfortable feelings must negatively affect people. A person’s conception of himself or herself is reflected in the way he or she behaves, and the way a person behaves affects other people’s reactions. In general, the way people think about themselves has a profound effect on all areas of their lives.Shy people, having low self-esteem, are likely to be passive and easily influenced by others. They need reassurance that they are doing ―the right thing.‖ Shy people are very sensitive to criticism; they feel it confirms their feelings of inferiority. They also find it difficult to be pleased by compliment with a statement like this one, ―You’re just saying that to make me feel good. I know it’s not true.‖ It is clear that while self-awareness is a healthy quality, overdoing it is harmful.Can shyness be completely eliminated, or at least reduced? Fortunately, people can overcome shyness with determined and patient efforts in building self-confidence. Since shyness goes hand in hand with a lack of self-esteem, it is important for people to accept their weaknesses as well as their strengths.Each one of us is a unique, worthwhile individual, interested in our own personal ways. The better we understand ourselves,the easier it becomes to live up to our full potenti al. Let’s not allow shyness to block our chances for a rich and fulfilling life.1. What does the author try to prove by citing ―what kind of impression am I making?‖ (Para. 1)A. Shy people benefit from their caring about their appearance.B. People’s shy ness make them care too much about their appearance and actions.C. It’s natural that shy people don’t believe other’s compliments.D. Shy people think they are different from others.2. According to the writer, self-awareness is _______.A. a good qualityB. the cause of unhappinessC. harmful to peopleD. a weak point of shy people3. That shy people react to a compliment in such a way is _______.A. goodB. unrealC. very reasonableD. harmful4. Which of the following statements is true, according to the passage?A. Shyness helps us to develop our potential.B. Shyness enables us to understand ourselves better.C. Shyness can block our chances for a rich life.D. Shyness has nothing to do with lack of self-esteem.5. It can be inferred from the passage that shy people _______.A. should find more of their weaknessB. should understand themselves in the right wayC. had better ignore their weaknessD. can get rid of their shyness while maintaining low self-esteemPassage 2Today Newton is a very clean place. Many years ago, however, there were millions of rats in it. They attacked the cats and dogs. Sometimes a great number of them knocked down a man or woman walking home at night. The rats were very large in size and they harmed many people. The Government ordered everybody to kill rats. Most people were lazy, so they didn’t kill many. The Government promised to pay some money for each dead rat. That made the people very happy. They killed thousands of ratseveryday. A Government officer put all the dead rats in a big pile. Sometimes a man brought hundreds in one day.After two weeks there were not many rats in the city, but people still brought many rats to the Government office. The Government officer thought that people were stealing dad rats from the pile. He ordered his men to dig a deep hole and put the rats in it.Soon there were no more rats, and the Government didn’t pay any more money.1. Newton is a place which _______.A. used to be very cleanB. is no longer a cityC. is very cleanD. will be very clean2. When the Government first ordered the people to kill rats, the people ______.A. asked for some money for each dead ratB. stole dead rats from the pileC. were too lazy to kill many ratsD. killed nearly all the rats quickly3.

What is the best topic for this passage?A. How to Kill RatsB. Newton—A City of RatsC. How Newton Became a Very Clean PlaceD. How Newton Became a Famous CityPassage3What makes a person a scientist? Does he have ways or tools of learning that are different from those of others? The answer is “no”. It is not the tools a scientist uses but how he uses these tools that makes him a scientist. You will probably agree that knowing how to use a power is important to a carpenter. You will probably agree, too, that knowing how to investigate, how to discover information, is important to everyone. The scientist, however, goes one step further, he must be sure that he has a reasonable answer to his questions and that his answer can be confirmed by other persons. He also works to fit the answers he gets to many questions into a large set of ideas about how theworld works.The scientist’s k nowledge must be exact. There is no room for half right or right just half the time. He must be as nearly right as the conditions permit. What works under one set of conditions at one time must work under the same conditions at other times. If the conditions are different, any changes the scientist observes in a demonstration must be explained by the changes in the conditions. This is one reason that investigations are important in science. Albert Einstein, who developed the Theory of Relativity, arrived at this theory through mathematics. The accuracy of his mathematics was later tested through investigations, and Einstein’s ideas were shown to be correct. A scientist uses many tools for measurements. Then the measurements are used to make mathematical calculations that may test his investigations.1. What makes a scientist according to the passage?A. The tools he uses.B. The way he uses his tools.C. His ways of learning.D. The various tools he uses.2. The underlined part in the passage shows _______.A. the importance of informationB. the importance of thinkingC. the difference between scientists and ordinary peopleD. the difference between carpenters and people with other jobs3. A sound scientific theory should be one that _______.A. works not only under one set of conditions at one time, but also under the same conditions at other timesB. does not allow any changes even under different conditionsC. can be used for many purposesD. leaves no room for improvement4. The author quotes the case of Albeit Einstein to illustrate _______.A. that measurements are keys to success in scienceB. that accuracy of mathematicsC. that investigations are important in scienceD.that the mathematical calculations may test his investigations5. What is the main idea of the passage?A. The theory of relativity.B. Exactness is the core of science.C. Scientists are different from ordinary people.D. Exactness and ways of using tools are the keys to the making of a scientist.Passage4If you travel by air across the center of Africa or South America, you fly over forests for thousands of kilometers. These great forests are the oceans of trees. There are thousands and thousands of different kinds of plants and animals.However, the world’s forests are getting smaller all the time. We are cutting down the trees because we need wood, and we need more farmland. Some people say that there will not be any forests like these in 20 or 30 years. What will happen if they disappear?If we cut down our forests, a lot of plants and animals will disappear from the world. In a lot of places the new farmland will soon look like the old deserts. Crops will not grow there. It will not rain very often, and the weather will get very hot. Perhaps the climate of the world will change. This will be dangerous foreveryone in the world. That is why we must take care of our forests.1. The passage mainly tells us about the importance of taking care of plants.A. TB. F2. Forests are homes for different kinds of animals.A. TB. F3. The need for more wood and more land help to protect our forests.A. TB. F4. We’ll have more and greater forests in 20 or 30 years in some people’s view.A. TB. F5. The writer thinks it necessary to protect the forests.A. TB. FPassage 5In choosing a friend, one should be very careful. A good friend can help you study. You can have fun together and make each other happy. Sometimes you will meet a fair weather friend. They will be with you as long as you have money or luck, but when you are down, they will run away. How do I know when I have found a good friend? I look for certain qualities of character, especially understanding, honesty and reliability .A good friend, above all else, tries to understand how another person is feeling. He is not quick to judge. Instead, hetries to learn from others. He puts himself in the other person’s place, and he tries to think of ways to be helpful. He is also a good listener.At the same time, a good friend is honest. He does not look for faults in others. He notices their good points. In short, a friend will try to understand me and accept me.Another quality of a friend is reliability. I can always depend on a good friend. If he tells me he will meet me somewhere at a certain time, I can be sure that he will be there. If I need a favor, he will do his best to help me. If I am in trouble, he will not run away from me.When I meet someone who is reliable, honest, and understanding, I know I’ve found a friend!1. The writer thinks that one of the important qualities in choosing a friend is understanding.A. TB. F2. If you have fair weather friends, you will be lucky.A. TB. F3.

At the time France was in a crisis. The government was badly run and pe ople’s lives were miserable. King Louis XIV tried to control the national parliament and raise more taxes. But his effort failed. He ordered his troops to Versailles. The people thought that Louis intended to put down the Revolution by force. On July 14, 1789, they stormed and took the Bastille, where political prisoners were kept. Ever since that day, July 14 has been the French National Day. Louis tried to flee the country in 1792, to get support from Austria and Prussia. However, he was caught and put in prison. In September 1792, the monarchy was abolished. In the same year, Louis was executed. A few months later his wife, Marie, also had her head cut off. The Revolution of France had frightened the other kings of Europe. Armies from Austria and Prussia began to march against France. The French raised republican armies to defend the nation. The Revolution went through a period of terror. Thousands of people lost their lives. In the end, power passed to Napoleon Bonaparte.1. This passage is about the French Revolution.A. TB. F2. The national economy was developing rapidly in 1789.A. TB. F3. The political prisoners were kept in Prussia.A. TB. F4. The underlined word ―abolished‖ mean ―ended‖.B. F5. The effect of the Revolution was that the King tried to control the national parliament.A. TB. FPassage 7Millions of divorces take place all around the world every year. Many of them happen because one of the partners has changed significantly. Some of them happen because of the chronic cheating habits of either partner. But most of them happen because they were not in the right marriage to begin with.Are you thinking of getting married? Here are the five crucial questions that you must ask yourselves first.1. Are our life and career goals similar?Marria ge is a decision to inextricably join your life with someone else’s. Aligning your life, career and other important goals is crucial.Are you planning to pool all your resources, throw them (and yourself) head-on into your new start-up –– the dream of you r life? Then don’t marry someone who wants a stable life and lots ofquality time together.2. Do we fulfill each other's needs?Ask yourself ––have you made a rational evaluation of whether and how much of your needs your significant other fulfills?This is important because when we take that addictive drug called love, we tend to see only positives in the person we love. But if you ignore your basic needs, they will find a way to comeback to you in the long run –– in the form of fights, emotional abuse, cheating and even divorce.3. Do we really know each other?Knowing your partner and allowing them to know you are vital aspects of a stable relationship. Trust takes an immense amount of work and time to build, but only seconds to lose.4. Do we admire and respect each other?Falling in love with someone ―for no particular reason‖ is great for the heady period of infatuation but not nearly enough for the everyday reality of marriage. Marriage is a long commitment. It has to be about finding long-term fulfillment and happiness in the individuals that you are.5. Am I ready to think of him/her as a parent of my children?Remember, your legacy to this world will be as much a part of you as of him/her. Unless it fills your heart with joy to think of them as a parent of your children, you should probably think about that marriage thing again.1. Some couples get divorced because of the constant cheating of either partner.A. TB. F2. If you want a stable life and lots of quality time together, you’d better not marry someone who spares no efforts to start his own business.A. TB. F3. We can see both the positives and negatives in the person we fall in love.A. TB. F4. It takes an immense amount of time for trust to break down.A. TB. F5. Since marriage is a lifelong commitment, it is of necessity to find long-term fulfillment and happiness in your partner.A. TB. FPassage 8Sixteen-year-old Maria was waiting in line at the airport in Santo Domingo. She was leaving her native country to join her sister in the United States. She spoke English very well. Though she was very happy she could go abroad, she was feeling sad at leaving her family and friends. As she was thinking all about this, she suddenly heard the airline employee asking her to pick up her luggage and put it on the scales. Maria pulled and pulled. The bag was too heavy and she just couldn’t lift it up. The man behind her got very impatient. He, too, was waiting to check in his luggage. “What’s wrong with this girl?‖ He said. ―Why doe sn’t she hurry up?‖ He moved forward and placed his bag on the counter, hoping to check in first. He was in a hurry to get a good seat. Maria was very angry: but she was very polite. And in her best English she said. ―Why are you so upset? There are enough seats for everyone on the plane. If you are in such a hurry; why can't you give me a hand with my luggage?‖The man was surprised to hear Maria speak English. He quickly picked up her luggage and stepped back.

You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage 1In the United States there was an unusual tale telling of the daughter of a mechanic. One day while walking along the bank of a lake, the girl happened to see 20 eggs laid by a wild goose. After some time the girl realized the mother would not return to her eggs and she decided to take them home. There she carefully placed the eggs in the heat of a lamp. Several days later the eggs broke and the baby geese came into the world.Geese are known to take the first living thing they see as their mother. Thus, to these young geese, the girl was their mother.As they grew, the girl was able to lead her birds to run across the grass, but she could not teach them to fly. The girl became increasingly worried about this, both when awake and in her dreams. Later, she had an idea. She would pilot a plane to guide them in flight. She asked her father for a plane and he assembled small aircraft for her.Caring about her safety, the father decided to pilot the plane himself. However, the birds did not recognize or follow him, and instead slept in the grass.One day, the girl climbed into the plane, started it and soon left the ground. Seeing their mother take to the air, the birds eagerly flapped their wings and set out. She flew the plane freely in the sky, her young birds following.1.

The 19th-century discovery of what appeared to be geometric designs cut across the surface was taken as evidence.The lines were thought to have been a system of canals that had been built to irrigate the surface. It is now clear that “canals” —perhaps the most spectacular geologic features of Mars —are natural valleys where ancient rivers once flowed.Another fragmented idea concerns the planet’s seasonal changes in color. Once attributed to the rapid spread of some life-form, these shifts are now known to develop from the movement of fine dust in the atmosphere.By the close of the 20th century none of the many experiments conducted by spacecraft had ever found persuasive evidence of life. Nevertheless, speculation continued over the existence of some form of life, in either the present or the past. In 1996 scientists discovered organic compounds and minerals in a meteorite（陨石）, consisting of Martian rock, that collided with Earth around 11,000 B.C. These compounds suggest that Mars may have been inhabited by organisms more than three billion years ago.6. Why did people in the 19th century believe the existence of intelligent life on Mars?A. Because the surface of Mars seemed to be geometric.B. Because the lines were drawn across the surface of the planet.C. Because a system of canals was thought to be there.D.

His father played college football at the University of Miami. In 1984, the pair moved to Los Angeles, California where Gilbert's father was an actor in commercials and soap operas.When Gilbert was about 11, he started playing basketball. By the time Gilbert was 14, he wasalready the best player on Ulysses S. Grant High School in Van Nuys, California. He decided to wear the number "0" becausepeople told him he would get "zero playing time". After his sophomore year, Gilbert decided to enter the NBA draft. Many coaches thought that Gilbert was not ready. As a result, he was drafted a disappointing 31st overall by the Golden State Warriors. Gilbert worked hard at Golden State, despite the fact his coach kept him on the bench for much of the season. When he finally got his chance, Gilbert averaged 14 points and 5 assists per game as the Warriors point guard.After a successful individual year for Gilbert, it was time to test the NBA's free-agent market. Much to the disappointment of Warriors fans, Gilbert signed a 6-year, 65 million dollar deal with the Washington Wizards in 2003. Not surprisingly, he became an instant star with the Wizards. Fans loved to watch him race up the court, dish-off passes, and make difficult shots and lay ups. Although the Wizards only won 27 games his first year in Washington, Gilbert led them with 19.6 points per game. Gilbert, along with teammates Larry Hughes and Antawn Jamison, led the Wizards to the NBA playoffs during his second year. The highlight of the decade for the Wizards was their post-season victory against the Chicago Bulls in the NBA playoffs.11. What did Gilbert’s father do for a living in Californi a?A. He was an artist.B. He was a basketball player.C. He was an actor.D. He was a football player.12. When did Gilbert become the best player on Ulysses S. Grant High School?A. When he was 11.B. In 1984.C. When he was 14.D. As a junior in high school.13. Why was Gilbert drafted a disappointing 31st overall by the Golden State Warriors?A. Because many coaches thought that he was not ready.B. Because the Golden State Warriors liked him very much.C. Because his family has moved to the Golden State.D. Because his performance is disappointing in the season.14. Which of the following players did NOT help the Wizards make the playoffs in Gilbert’s second year?A. Gilbert Arenas.B. Gold State Warriors.C. Antawn Jamison.D. Larry Hughes.15. Which of the following words best describes Gilbert Arenas as described by the passage?A. Overrated.B. Hard-working.C. Talented.D. Both B and C.Passage 4Manners are very important in every country, but the trouble is that different countries have different ideas about what counts as polite behavior. What is good manners in one country may not be appropriate behavior in another. Chinese people may be shocked at what counts as good manners in England.When an Englishman passes a friend in the street he does not always stop to talk. He may just nod, say" hello" and pass on. If two friends do stop to talk, they do not shake hands. It is only at parties for young people (students, for instance) that a person could go up to someone he does not know and introduce himself.On more formal occasions or at parties run by older people a guest always waits to be introduced to someone he does not know by the host, hostess oranother guest who he already knows. At even a formal dinner an Englishman does not wait for a toast before he has a drink. The English reserve toasts for very formal or very special occasions. In these cases the toast will usually be accompanied by a short speech, for example, at a wedding reception or at a party for somebody who is retiring. After a private dinner in someone's house an Englishman will only shake hands with the host and hostess if it is a fairly formal occasion, like a business dinner, and he will usually put his coat on and say goodbye as he leaves the house.Luckily, like Chinese people, the English usually excuse foreign students over matters of etiquette. But even so, perhaps the safest advice for the overseas student, no matter what country he is visiting, is to follow the old proverb: when in Rome, do as the Romans do.16. When an Englishman meets a friend in the street, he may ____________________.A. stop to talk to his friendB. just nod and say “hello”C. shake hands with his friendD. just say goodbye17.

Chinese people seem to be more polite than English people.C. An Englishman will shake hands with the host after a private business dinner.D.

Reading Comprehension (30 points)Directions:In this part there are three passages followed by questions, each with four suggested answers. Choose the ONE you think is the best answer, and put your answers down on the Answer Sheet.Passage 1At sixteen Ron Mackie might have stayed at school, but the future called to him excitedly. "Get out of the classroom into a job," it said, and Ron obeyed. His father, supporting the decision, found a place for him in a supermarket. "You're lucky, Ron," he said. "For every boy with a job these days, there's a dozen with-out." So Ron joined the working world at twenty pounds a week.For a year he spent his days filling shelves with tins of food. By the end of that time he was looking back on his school-days as a time of great variety and satisfaction. He searched for an interest in his work, with little success.One fine day instead of going to work Ron got a lift on a lorry going south. With nine pounds in his pocket, a full heart and a great longing for the sea, he set out to make a better way for himself. That evening, in Bournemouth, he had a sandwich and a drink in a cafe run by an elderly man and his wife. Before he had finished the sandwich, the woman had taken him on for the rest of the summer, at twenty pounds a week, a room upstairs and three meals a day. The ease and speed of it rather took Ron's breath away. At quiet times Ron had to check the old man's arithmetic in the records of the business.At the end of the season, he stayed on the coast. He was again surprised how straightforward it was for a boy of seventeen to make a living. He worked in shops mostly, but once he took a job in a hotel for three weeks. Late in October he was taken on by the sick manager of a shoe shop. Ron soon found himself in charge there; he was the only one who could keep the books.61. Why did Ron Mackie leave school at sixteen?A. His father made him leave.B. He had reached the age when he had to leave.C. He left because he was worried about the future.D. He left because he wanted to start work.62. What did Ron's father think about his leaving school?A. He thought his son was doing the right thing.B. He advised him to stay at school to complete his education.C. He did not like the idea, but he helped Ron to find work.D. He knew there was a job for every boy who wanted one.63. It took about a year for Ron to realize that .A. he worked well because he was interested in the jobB. his work at the supermarket was dullC. being at work was much better than going to schoolD. the store manager wanted to get rid of him64. Why did Ron leave the supermarket?A. He knew he would find work in Bournemouth.B. He took a job as a lorry driver.C. He gave up the job because he felt unwell.D. He wanted to work at the seaside.65. Ron was able to take over the shoe shop because .A. he got on well with the manager thereB. he knew how to keep the accounts of the businessC. he had had experience of selling booksD. he was young and strongPassage 2The key to your success is self-confidence (信心). Without it you'll never achieve your goals. But you are not born with self-confidence.Every successful person from Bill Gates to Ted Turner will tell you that they achieved their goals because they always believed in themselves. They were not born with self-confidence-Ted Turner is an example. He created the belief in himself by never accepting anyone who doubted him. Today he is one of the richest men in the world.Self-confidence is something you can create and perfect. In fact, if you examined the track record of every successful person you'd find that they failed more often than they succeeded. They didn't think over their failures. They focused on their goals, believed in themselves and pushed ahead.Friends, I've traveled a long way from home. I'm an Indian who was born in Kenya (肯尼亚) grew up in Canada and enjoyed a successful job in television news. I have been a reporter, a producer, and am always a public speaker. I have talked to thousands of people with ease. I have delivered the news live to millions of people. I could not do any of this if I did not have any self-confidence or did not believe in myself. In fact when I set out to become a reporter some people thought I was crazy. Why? Because no other Indian had been on television delivering the news. I was the first in Canada and the first in the United States.My point is that you can create your own self-confidence. If you really want to create self-confidence then you need to change the way your mind focuses on things. You need to teach yourself to create a new way of thinking and develop what I call a success vibration (震撼).66. What is the main idea of this passage?A. Achieving anything is very important in one's life.B. Self-confidence is the most important thing for one to be successful.C Every successful person is creativeD. Successful people are the richest men in the world.67. According to the passage, what does the writer probably do?A. He is a mailman delivering letters.B. He is a writer writing the news live.C. He is a public speaker delivering the news on television.D. He is a traveler touring many countries.68. What does the writer mean by saying that "I have talked to thousands ofpeople with ease (容易)"?A. I have interviewed many people without worry and difficulty.B. I have interviewed many people of the easy kind.C. I can talk to people by sitting in a comfortable position.D. I have reported on many easy people.69. What does the sentence "They didn't think over their failures" mean?A. They couldn't understand how they failed.B. They didn't get rid of failure.C. They didn't pay attention to failure.D. They didn't remember their failure.70. What suggestion does the writer make?A. To be successful, you have to travel a long way from home.B. Paying no attention to failure is the key to success.C. Delivering the news on TV is an easy way to succeed.D. To create self-confidence you need to create a new way of thinking. Passage 3Ask three people to look out the same window at a busy street corner and tell you what they see. Chances are you will receive three different answers. Each person sees the same scene, but each perceives something different about it.Perceiving goes on in our minds. Of the three people who look out the window, one may say that he sees a policeman giving a motorist a ticket. Another may say that he sees a rushhour traffic jam at the intersection. The third may tell you that he sees a woman trying to cross the street with four children in tow. For perception is the minds' interpretation of what the senses —in this case our eyes —tell us.Many psychologists today are working to try to determine just how a person experiences or perceives the world around him. Using a scientific approach, these psychologists set up experiments in which they can control all of the factors. By measuring and charting the results of many experiments, they are trying to find out what makes different people perceive totally different things about the same scene.71. Seeing and perceiving areA. the same action.B. two separate actions.C. two actions carried on entirely by the eyes.D. several actions that take place at different times.72. Perceiving is an action that takes placeA. in our eyes.B. only when we think very hard about something.C. only under the direction of a psychologist.D. in every person's mind.73. Perception involves whatA. our senses tell us.B. our minds interpret.C. we see with our eyes only.D. both A and B.74. People perceive different things about the same scene becauseA. they see different things.B. they cannot agree about things.C. some have better eyesight.D. none of these.75. The best title for this selection is .A. How We SeeB. Learning About Our Minds Through ScienceC. What Psychologists PerceiveD.

厦门大学网络教育2010-2011学年第二学期《英语2》复习题Passage 1In 1848, gold was discovered in California; from all over the nation, thousands of young men set out for California. People called this the time of the Gold Rush.A gold miner came into a city looking for a pair of pants. He wanted pants strong enough to stand up to the rough work of mining. He met a young man named Levi, who sold heavy cloth for tents and wagon tops. They asked a tailor to use heavy cloth for their pants. Then Levi went into the business of making work pants. He asked his brothers to send him some strong blue cotton cloth called denim (斜纹粗棉布). With this blue denim cloth, Levi started making the kind of pants we call blue jeans today. They were sewed up in the same way as other pants.In 1860, a miner said that the pockets weren't strong enough to hold the pieces of gold he found. The pockets kept falling off the pants. The cloth was all right. It was the thread that wasn't strong enough. So Levi used rivets (铆钉) to attach the pockets onto the pants.Cowboys needed tough pants, too. They liked their pants to fit tightly. But the rivets marked the cowboys' saddles. So Levi covered the rivets with cloth. Then everybody was happy.（答案：ADCCB）11. This article as a whole is about __________________.B. the Gold Rush in CaliforniaC. How blue jeans are madeD. The kind of pants cowboys' wear12. While not stated in the article, you can tell that __________________.A. everybody who went to California got a lot of goldB. Levi found riches in the gold fieldsC. Levi sold more jeans to cowboys than to gold miners13. The word this in the last sentence of the first paragraph refers to ___________.A. CaliforniaB. the discovery of gold D. the nation at this time14. Levi used strong blue cotton cloth to make pants because __________.A. gold miners liked the blue colorB. this was the only cloth he hadD. cowboys liked their pants to fit tightly5. Which of the following sentences is NOT true?A. It was Levi who started the business of making blue jeans.C. It was in California that blue jeans first became popular.D. It was in California that gold was discovered. Passage 2Cancer is among the top killer diseases in our society today and scientists have found out that stress helps to bring it on. It is worthwhile to consider, therefore, what are the causes of stress in our life, and whether we can do anything about them.Are we under-employed, or overburdened with too many responsibilities? Do we have a right balance of work and leisure in our lives? Are our relationships with family, friends or fellow workers all they should be?All these things can be a cause of stress, and it is best to face them honestly, and to bring our frustrations into the open. People who have a good row and then forget it are doing their health more good than those who bottle up their feelings.If our self-examination has brought any causes of stresses to light, let us consider what we can do about them. It is possible to change jobs. We can make more leisure and fill it more happily, if we will accept a different attitude. It is we who allow other people to make ourselves unhappy. Often the little things that disturb us are not worth an hour’s anger. The teaching in Bible “Let not the sun go down upon your wrath” is good advice from the health point of view as well as the religious.（答案：CDADA）6. Which of the following statements is true?A. Freedom from responsibilities helps relieve stress.B. Stress is the direct cause of cancer.7. According to the passage, which of the following types of people is more likely to suffer from stress?A. People who have cancer.B. People who like to quarrel with others.8. Judging from the context, the word “row” in the third paragraph most probably means9. Which of the following is not mentioned as a way to reduce our stress?A. Changing our jobs.B. Changing our attitude about little things that make us unhappy.10. “Let not the sun go down upon your wrath” probably means’t get angry while the sun is going down.C. Don’t get angry easily about little things.D. Don’t watch the sun set while you are angry.Passage 3It might be surprising for some people to believe that, in today's computer-and-Internet-driven society, there are some book publishers that are still committed to traditional books. Maybe the most famous encyclopedia company, The Encyclopaedia Britannica, which dates back to the 18th century, is planning to release their largest set of books in 2001. This 40-volume set will be the largest printed in its 231-year history.Because of the success of recent Internet and computer encyclopedias, some people have suggested that the publishers could turn their back on print. However, company representative Paul Hoffman said the company is committed to paper and ink."There is still a place for books, even with all of the computer encyclopedias. And many people around the world still want books," he said.Encyclopedias, in book form, are common in library collections and on school shelves. They are often used in student research. And none are used more than those published by the Encyclopedia Britannica.Even so, the company is selling fewer and fewer books and more and more computer encyclopedias, possibly because of the price. The books, US $1450 for a 32-book set, are too expensive for people. The computerized version, which contains all the same information, costs only a 10th of the price.（答案：ADCAB）11. What about the Encyclopedia Britannica is so surprising?B. The company is selling Internet encyclopedias.C. The company is still open after so many years.D. The company is planning to quit making books.12. What will make the 2001 set of books different from the other sets?A. It will be the most sold.B. It will be like the 18th-century one.C. It will be on the Internet.13. Why have some people suggested that the company stop printing books?A. Because people are no longer buying many encyclopedias.B. Because demand around the world is for ink and paper books.D. Because Paul Hoffman has turned his back on printing books.14. What makes the Encyclopedia Britannica's books special?B. They are used more for study than for doing research.C. They are used in schools and many library collections.D. They are used in many research papers by students.15. Why are more people buying electronic encyclopedias than book encyclopedias?A. Electronic encyclopedias contain more.C. Electronic encyclopedias take up less room.D. Electronic encyclopedias have new ideas.II. Vocabulary and Structure1.

ReadingA“Mom, I can’t wait to own a fast Porsche(保时捷),〞 said sixteen-year-old Steve, as he drove our old family car home after he passed his driving test. “A Porsche is expensive,〞 I replied, “You will have to work hard to earn one.〞Over the next several years, Steve tried his best to realize the goal. After high school, he won a scholarship(奖学金)to study at a famous university and graduated with honors. Later he earned an MBA degree and got a job in a large company. Then he got married.One day in 2021 his dad and I visited them on invitation. After a round of hugs, Steve asked me to stand in front of the garage and opened the door.“What a beautiful car!〞 I said in amazement. Steve smiled with tears of happiness in his eyes. “Mom, remember I once said I wanted to own a fast Porsche? Let me take you for a ride and show you what this car can do. I’ll take Dad later.〞 We climbed onto the sports car, and then he started the car. We sped up along a wide road, shot up a long bridge and performed a fast turn before we headed for home.“Wow! That was an exciting ride!〞 I said, as I climbed out of the comfortable seat. “This car is better than all my expectations,〞 Steve said in happiness.Months later, during another visit, I was admiring his perfect Porsche in the garage when he said that he had decided to sell it. I was unprepared for it and he explained that he had discovered that wanting a Porsche was more fun than having one.1. The son’s doing well in school was mainly because of_______.A. the aim to go abroad in the futureB. the duty to support the familyC. the goal of owning a fast PorscheD. the decision to live on his own2.

Which of the following can be used as the title of the text?A. Wanting is more fun than having.B. Patience results in success.C. Actions speak louder than words.D. All good things come to an end.BTravel has become part of our lives. And more and more of us have come to know the importance of travel through our own experiences. Travelling broadens our mind. We may get knowledge from books, but it is limited in real life. To make up for this disadvantage, we should travel to see things which can not be found in books. To our surprise，the longer we travel, the more we will treasure our life.My travel to Xishuangbanna, a place of interest in Yunnan, is a good example in point. The journey made me enrich my knowledge, especially geographical learning. This trip provided me with the chance to taste food cooked by people of the minority 〔少数民族〕, and try on their clothes that I otherwise could not have. By making friends with people there, I came to know that boys of this minority should be, at an early age, sent to a temple to receive the education of Buddhism(佛教). That is why we often notice many teenagers wearing the clothes of a monk in public. If it had not been for the travel to Xishuangbanna , I would not have known a lot about customs practiced in other parts of China.In view of my experience in Xishuangbanna , I firmly believe that travel is one of the best ways to broaden our minds. It enriches our knowledge so that we come back home with a broader mind.Judging from the above-mentioned facts, how can we ignore the advantages brought by travelling?1. The underlined word “broaden〞 in th e first paragraph means ______•A. enlargeB. changeC. reduceD. disturb2. Which of the following is NOT true?A. Travel has become part of our life.B. Travelling makes us happy.C. Travel gives us the knowledge we can’t know in books.D. People haven’t realized the importance of travelling.3. According to the passage, which is NOT the advantage of travelling?A. It gives us the chance of leaving our work.B. It broadens our mind.C. It expands our knowledge.D. It gives us the chance of knowing the customs.4. Why do many teenagers wear the clothes of a monk in public?A. Because monks are respected by all the teenagers.B. Because they should be sent to a temple to receive the education of Buddhism.C. Because their school life is mainly in the temple.D. Because most of them will live in the temple for some time.5. What is the writer’s attitude towards travelling?A. disappointedB. worriedC. puzzledD. supportiveCA few years ago it was common to speak of a generation gap between young people and their elders. Parents said that children did not respect and listen to them, while children said that their parents did not understand them at all. What had gone wrong? Why had the generation gap suddenly appeared? Actually, the generation gap has been around for a long time. Many people argue that it is built into every part of our society.One important cause of the generation gap is the opportunity that young people have to choose their own ways of life. In a more traditional society, when children grow up, they are expected to live in the same area as their parents, to marry people that their parents know and like, and often to continue the family jobs. In our society, young people often travel great distances for their education, move out of the family at an early age, marry or live with people whom their parents have never met, and choose jobs different from those of their parents.In our society, parents often expect their children to do better than they did, to find better jobs, to make more money and to do all the things that they were unable to do. Often, that is another cause of the gap between them. Often, they discover that they have very little in common with each other.Finally, the speed at which changes take place in our society is the third cause of the gap between the generations. In a traditional culture, senior people are valued for their knowledge, but in our society the knowledge of a lifetime may become out of date. The young and the old seem to live in two very different worlds, separated bydifferent skills and abilities. No doubt, the generation gap will continue in American life for some time to come.1. The first paragraph tells us that _______.A. the problem of the generation gap draws much attention from peopleB. it is out of date to talk about the generation gapC. children and parents are trying to understand each otherD. it is very important for people to frequently communicate with each other2. In a more traditional society, old people ________.A. have their children respect and listen to themB. do not care for their children at allC. expect their children to rebel against themD. do not live together with their children3. In American society young people ________.A. do not need to find jobsB. marry people younger than themC. have better education than their parentsD. leave home at an early age4. Which of the following is NOT the cause of the generation gap?A. Young people like to depend more on themselves.B. Parents do not love their children dearly.C. American society changes rapidly.D. Parents expect too much of their children.5. The main idea of the passage is ______.A. that the generation gap needs consideringB. when the generation gap is necessary in American societyC. why the generation gap existsD. how we can reduce the generation gapDAs early as the second half of the 18th century, English writers began to witness and lament the gradual disappearance of the countryside. Now, over two hundred years later, the matter is not only of poetical interest but a matter of great urgency.The problems of ecology〔生态学〕 are among our greatest problems and there’s a lot of talk about pollution, conservational preservation. It seems there’s a lot of concern, but in spite of this there are times when we take the most incredible decisions. For example, Camley Council have chosen Beckley Field as the site for a multi-storey car park.Beckley Field is where the children play. I myself used to play there. You can go for a walk there, sit under the trees, exercise the dog. It is surrounded by new Camley, with the housing estate on one side, the new shopping center on another two, and Camley School about two hundred yards away on the fourth side.The shopping center is used by almost everyone in Camley, and of course they need somewhere to park their cars. There are three or four restaurants, too, and custom is beginning to come from other nearby towns. A car park would increase custom enormously, both at the shops and at the restaurants. So one can quite understand the Council’s wish to make use of Beckley Field. Where else could youput a car park?But why must we lose one of the last remaining green areas that we have in the town?1. According to the passage, people are more concerned about the following problemsexcept ___________.A. pollutionB. populationC. conservationD. preservation2. According to the author, the disappearance of the countryside is ___________.A. poetically interestingB. gradualC. very urgentD. a threat3. Camley Council decided to build a car park in ______________.A. CamleyB. Beckley FieldC. Camley SchoolD. the housing estate4. A car park is to be built for____________.A. more and more customers at the restaurantsB. more and more customers at the shopping centerC. people coming from other placesD. more and more customers at the shopping center as well as at the restaurants5. What is the author’s a ttitude towards the building of the car park in Camley?A. The author is strongly against it.B. The author is in favor of it.C. The author is concerned with it.D. The author is worried about it.III.ClozePassage AOne day, when I was 15 years old, I was walking in a very dark park and found an old bottle on my way. To my 1 , there was a fairy inside.

One day when Galileo was a young man of eighteen, he was in the great church of the city of Pisa where he lived. He was watching the motion of a light. He saw that as the light moved forward and back on its chain, it seemed to take the same time between turns, however far it went. He wanted to make sure whether he was right. He put his pulse rate, he measured the motion of the light as it went forward and back on its chain.He was right. He had the proof. He could prove that the time was the same, however short or long the journey of the light through the air was. Galileo had made a great discovery about the motion of a pendulum. Among other things this discovery made possible a better instrument for measuring time--- the pendulum clock.26.

He won fame for his performances in such roles as Rodolfo in La Bohenme, Edgardo in Lucia di Lammermoor, and the Duke of Mantua in Rigoletto. In the late 1970's, he began to perform more dramatic roles, including Mario in Tosca and Manrico in Trovatore. In the 1980's and 1990's, his frequent appearances on TV and in operas and concerts on videocassettes （录像带）increased his fame. Also during the 1990's, Pavarotti and tenors Jose Carreras and Placido Domingo gave a number of enormously popular concerts throughout the world, called "The Three Tenors".Luciano Pavarotti was born in Modena, Italy.

Reading ComprehensionDirections: Reading the following three passages and complete or answer the questions after each passage by choosing the right one from among the four choices in A,B,C,and D.Questions 6—10 are based on the following passageMinh Pham was born in Vietnam. He left when he was 21 years old. Minh has been in America for almost two years. There is still much he does not understand about America.Once Minh was in a grocery store. He saw an old man and an old woman. Theywanted a box of cereal. The box was on a high shelf. The man and woman couldn‘t reach it. Minh saw a stepladder. He got on the ladder and got the box. He handed it to the elderly couple. They thanked him.―Where are your children ?‖asked Minh . ―Why don‘t they help you buy food ?‖―Our children have their own lives , ‖ said the man and woman . ― We like to be independent . ‖Minh doesn‘t think it is right . In his country ,children help their parents . Minh gave the elderly couple his phone number . He told them to call him if they needed help . One night they invited Minh to dinner , but they never asked him for help .One day , Minh was walking with a Vietnamese friend . Two men were going to a movie . Minh wanted to go to a restaurant first . Minh took his friend ?s hand . He pulled him toward the restaurant. People on the street stared at Minh. In Vietnam,friends often hold hands. Minh found out that people in America are not used to men holding hands.Minh Pham is going through a process known as resocialization. Socialization is the process in which a person learns to live in a society. Everyone goes through this process. Minh went through it when he lived in Vietnam. But it is only the Vietnamese way of life. When Minh came to America, he had to learn a new way of life. He had to learn how to live in a new society.Minh has learned a lot about American life in two years. He still has a lot to learn ,The process of resocialization can take many years.6.

It is hard to ____when one comes to a new country.A. learn as many foreign languages as possible,B. get used to the local weather and the climateC. communicate with foreign people thereD. avoid culture shock and get used to a new lifeKey: BACCDQuestions 16—20 are based on the following passageOne of the strongest arguments for the raising of the school leaving age （ROSLA）has been that it will bring us some way nearer to―equality of opportunity‖.Many people like to think of our present system of schooling as providing plenty of steps up the ladder of success for clever children. It would be good to think that no one who is really bright can be missed out when the state system is obviously socomplete. It is obvious, for instance, that many children from less wealthy homes reach university or do well in other ways.Unfortunately we now have plenty of proofs that many children of every level of ability do much less well than they could. For instance, during the years of national military service it was possible to test the intelligence of all male 18 – to – 20 – year –olds. Half of those soldiers who were placed in the two highest ability groups had left school at 15.It has also been shown that the percentage of working class children going to univer Omsity is almost the same now as it was in 1939. One study of 5,000 children from birth to 21 years old shows that up to half the bright pupils from working class homes left school when they reached 16 years old. Moreover, there is no difference in intelligence between the sexes, but far more boys than girls stay in education after 16.It is clear from this and many other proofs that many children are still leaving school too early to benefit from the prizes—money, social respectability, and interesting jobs—which higher education gives. It is clear too that the reasons why such children leave have much to do with their social background. Their parents often need the extra money another money-earner would bring in; they don‘t value education for itself because their own was probably dull and unhappy. It is not so much that they force their sons and daughters to leave school, rather that they tend to say, ―it‘s up to you‖.16．It is hoped that ROSLA will give all children .A．a more enjoyable time at school B．the same chances in societyC．the right to a better school D．higher scores in intelligence tests 17．People would like to think that .A．equal numbers of poor and wealthy children reach universityB．those with the least money get the best educationC．intelligent children are always selected by the systemD．only really clever children do well18．Working class children are thought to be at a disadvantage because . A．many of the clever ones leave school earlyB．fewer go to university than ever beforeC.more than half leave school when they are 16D．fewer boys than girls stay at school after 1619．Many children leave school early because .A．their social background makes them unhappyB．they have to give something to their family‘s incomeC．their school is a dull and unhappy placeD．their parents don‘t allow them to make their own decisions20．This article shows that equal opportunity in education .A．is a thing of the past B．has not yet been achievedC．is there for those who deserve it D．has greatly improved our society Key：BCABBQuestions 26—30 are based on the following passageYou Are What You GiveWhat you give your relatives and friends can help you know yourself better. Also, what they give you can tell you something about their personality. Most gift-giving (and getting) shows nothing more than the spirit of love and friendship. But it is possible to form some associations between the kinds of things brought and the people who buy them. Here is a guide to who gives what ─and why.The clothes you wear tell something about your personality. They tell the world not only how you want to be seen but how you see yourself as well. When someone gives you something to wear that agrees with your self-image, they‘re saying, ―I agre e with you. I like you the way you are.‖ Such a gift should be taken as a form of compliment (赞美). On the other hand, a gift of clothing that doesn‘t match your personality could be an insult (侮辱) to your character.Making something by hand has become the exception in many countries today. If you receive a homemade gift, you‘re lucky. It may not be made perfectly, but it will show a certain quality of love. They‘ve given time and emotion, two important characteristics of being creative.A person who thinks of food when thinking of gift is good example of what human warmth means. Whether you give a box of chocolate, a bag of oranges, or a ball of cheese, all carry the same message of comfort and support.People who give books as gifts either like reading or would like everyone to think they do. If you happen to receive a large, heavy book, its giver may be much more interested in the way things appear than in the way they actually are. Of course, reading is a way of feeling the emotions of another person and of learning new things. Giving a book can be a way of sharinga feeling or newly learn meaning. The giver is probably trying to say to you what the book said to him.26.The first paragraph is written mainly to tell readers that ________.A. the gifts you give can help you understand yourself better than any other waysB. there is a certain relationship between the gifts and the people who give themC. the gifts you receive help you learn the personality of the giversD.between relatives and friends a gift may show friendship and love27.A person who likes the self-image of another person will give the latter a gift ________.A. fashionable and expensiveB. made at home by himselfC. that agrees with the personality of the receiverD. that matches the character of the giver28. If you give a large book as a gift, it may show that ________.A. you enjoy reading and will be successful in writingB. the receiver is interested in reading and hopes to be a writerC. you want to share with others a certain feelingD. you are more interested in the appearance than in its contents29. People who want to show their love toward others often give ________.A. homemade giftsB. delicious foodC. expensive clothesD. interesting book30. What kind of message is communicated by a gift of food?A. A supportive one.B. A generous one.C. A creative one.D. An unusual one.Key: CDDAAWe have saved as a final set of emotions, the two most important emotions connected with other people: love and its opposite, hate. Love can be seen everywhere. Yet surprisingly, love has been the subject of less scientific research than other emotions, such as anger and fear. The reason for this may be twofold. First, love is a very complex emotion, difficult to describe and measure. Secondly, unlike many radical emotions, radical love is generally not a problem; thus less medical attention has been paid to it.What is love? This is a complex question and requires a complex answer. Love is a strong, positive attraction and feeling for another person or thing. But it is more than this. It also involves feelings of caring, protection, excitement, and tenderness. When two people are in love they feel drawn to one another, they greatly enjoy each other's company, and they may be sexually attracted to one another.Sometimes it is easier to think in terms of different kinds of love: romantic love, brotherly love, and so forth. Though they are different in some respects, they share one important characteristic: a strong positive feeling toward another.Our feelings toward other people are often complex. We may love someone and, at the same time, be angry with him. Or we may love someone, even though we are jealous of him. We might even love someone and, at the same time, hate him for the same precise reason.Hate is a strong negative emotion toward someone, and is due to anger, jealousy, or some other factors. Like love, hate can be a very strong emotion. It can also be very dangerous. The question is often asked, "Is it bad to hate?" The best answer is probably "Sometimes yes and sometimes no." Usually hate does not help us; it makes us feel unhappy and makes us do things that may hurt others. However, sometimes it may be necessary to hate and hurt someone in order to protect loved ones.36. We might need hate, because it can help us ________.A. be strongB. protect ourselvesC. defend othersD. understand love for others37. Which characteristic is shared by different kinds of love?A strong respectful feeling toward another.A strong negative emotion toward someone.A strong jealous feeling toward someone.A strong positive feeling toward another.38. Why doesn't scientific research pay attention to love?A. Because love is very rare.B. Because love is very complex.C. Because radical love is dangerous.D. Because love is not important.39. According to the passage, hate is caused by ________.A. fear, danger and hurtB. caring, protection, excitement and tendernessC. anger, jealousy or some other factorsD. complex, strong positive emotions40. Love is a feeling that is the opposite of ________.A. angerB. hateC. fearD. jealousyKey: CABCBPart V.

Choose the ONEthat you think is the best answer.Passage OneAfter practicing as a surgeon for several years, Dr. Ginoux decided to apply for membership in the American College of Surgeons, a highly selective and distinguished professional organization.As part of the application procedure, Dr. Ginoux was asked to prepare a list of all operations performed in the previous seven years. Slowly, as she worked on the long list, she began to feel uncertain. She began to question some of her decisions. Had she used the best technique in that case? Maybe, in this case, she should have run one more test before operating? On the other hand, maybe she should have …Would the doctors on the selection committee understand that, as the only trained surgeon in the area, she usually could not get advice from others and therefore, had to rely completely on her own judgment? For the first time, Dr. Ginoux felt lonely and isolated.The longer Dr. Ginoux worked on the application forms, the more depressed she became. As hope faded, she wondered if a “country doctor” had a realistic chance of being accepted by the American College of Surgeons.1.Dr. Ginoux was working inA. a large cityB.the American College of SurgeonsC.an area far from any big cityD. a selective organization2.The application forms must includeA.the decision procedureB. a record of all the operationsC.the best techniqueD. a list of advice and judgments3.It was most probable that Dr. Ginoux wasA. a member in that surgeonB. a well-trained surgeonC. a graduate from the American College of SurgeonsD. a distinguished surgeon in America4.When she was filling the application forms, Dr. Ginoux began to beA.realisticB.distinguishedC.perplexedD.decisive5.When filling the forms, Dr. Ginoux felt depressed becauseA.she didn’t perform enough operationsB.some operations were unsuccessfulC.she did n’t get advice from the selection committeeD.she was doubtful about her operationsPassage TwoAt sixteen Ron Mackie might have stayed at school, but the future called to him excitedly. “Get out of the classroom into a job,” it said, and Ron obeyed. His father, supporting the decision, found a place for him in a supermarket. “You’re lucky, Ron,”he said. “For every boy with a job these days, there’s a dozen with-out.” So Ron joined the working world at twenty pounds a week.For a year he spent his days filling shelves with tins of food. By the end of that time he was looking back on his school-days as a time of great variety and satisfaction. He searched for an interest in his work, with little success.One fine day instead of going to work Ron got a lift on a lorry going south. With nine pounds in his pocket, a full heart and a great longing for the sea, he set out to make a better way for himself. That evening, in Bournemouth, he had a sandwich and a drink in a café run by an elderly man and his wife. Before he had finished the sandwich, the woman had taken him on for the rest of the summer, at twenty pounds a week, a room upstairs and three meals a day. The ease and speed of it rather took Ron’s breath away. At quiet times Ron had to check the old man’s arithmetic in the records of the business.At the end of the season, he stayed on the coast. He was again surprised how straightforward it was for a boy of seventeento make a living. He worked in shops mostly, but once he took a job in a hotel for three weeks. Late in October he was taken on by the sick manager of a shoe shop. Ron soon found himself in charge there; he was the only one who could keep the books.6.Why did Ron Mackie leave school at sixteen?A.His father made him leaveB.He had reached the age when he had to leaveC.He left because he was worried about the futureD.He left because he wanted to start work7.What did Ron’s father think about his leaving school?A.He thought his son was doing the right thingB.He advised him to stay at school to complete his educationC.He did not like the idea, but he helped Ron to find work.D.He knew there was a job for every boy who wanted one.8.It took about a year for Ron to realize thatA.he worked well because he was interested in the jobB.his work at the supermarket was dull.C.being at work was much better than going to schoolD.the store manager wanted to get rid of him9.Why did Ron leave the supermarket?A.He knew he would find work in Bournemouth.B.He took a job as a lorry driver.C.He gave up the job because he felt unwell.D.He wanted to work at the seaside10.Ron was able to take over the shoe shop becauseA.he got on well with the manager thereB.he knew how to keep the accounts of the businessC.he had had experience of selling booksD.he was young and strongPassage ThreeIf you are like most people, your intelligence varies from season to season. You are probably a lot sharper in the spring than you are at any other time of year. A noted scientist, Ellsworth Huntington (1876-1947), concluded from other men’s work and his own among peoples in different climates that climate and, temperature have a definite effect on our mental abilities.He found that cool weather is much more favorable for creative thinking than is summer heat. This does not mean that all people are less intelligent in the summer than they are during the rest of the year. It does mean, however, that the mental abilities of large numbers of people tend to be lowest in the summer.Spring appears to be the best period of the year for thinking. One reason may be that in the spring man’s mental abilities are affected by the same factors that bring about great changes in all nature.Fall is the next-best season, then winter. As for summer, it seems to be a good time to take a long vacation from thinking!11.According to the passage, your intelligence probably________.A.stays the same throughout the yearB.varies from day to dayC.changes with the seasonsD.changes from year to year12.Ellsworth Huntington decided that climate and temperature have _____A. a great effect on everyone’s intelligenceB.some effect on most persons’ intelligenceC.some effect on a few persons’ intelligenceD.no effect on most persons’ intelligence13.It seems that the cold winter____A.increases the ability to thinkB.is the best time for thinkingC.is better for thinking than is very warm weatherD.decreases the ability to think14.One possible reason why spring is the best season for thinking is that______A.all nature, including man, is growing thenB.it lasts longer than the other seasonsC.it is not too warm and not too coldD.both B and C15. According to the passage, any vacations from thinking should be taken ______A. several times throughout the yearB. during spring and fallC. during the summerD.as seldom as possiblePart IV Translation.

2012-2013学年第一学期《公共英语2》考试复习题II 阅读理解1. People who intentionally starve themselves suffer from an eating disorder called anorexia nervosa. The disorder, which usually begins in young people around the time of puberty (青春期), involves extreme weight loss —at least 15 percent below the individual’s normal body weight. Many people with the disorder look thin but are convinced they are overweight. Sometimes they must be hospitalized to prevent starvation.Deborah developed anorexia nervosa when she was 16. A rather shy , studious teenager, she tried hard to please everyone. She had an attractive appearance, but was slightly overweight. Like many teenage girls, she was interested in boys but concerned that she wasn’t pretty enough to get their attention. When her father jokingly remarked that she would never get a date if she didn’t take off some weight, she took him seriously and began to diet violently.Every day she weighted all the food she would eat on a kitchen scale, cutting solids into little pieces and precisely measuring liquids. She also exercised compulsively , even after she weakened and became faint. She never took an elevator if she could walk up steps.No one was able to convince Deborah that she was in danger. Finally, her doctor insisted that she be hospitalized and carefully monitored for treatment of her illness. While in the hospital, she secretly continued her exercise in the bathroom. It took several hospitalizations and a good deal of individual and family outpatient therapy (治疗) for Deborah to face and solve her problems.Deborah’s case is not unusual. People with anorexia typically starve themselves, even though they suffer terribly from hunger pains. One of the most frightening aspects of the disorder is that people with anorexia continue to think they are overweight even when they are bone-thin. For reasons not yet understood, they become terrified of gaining any weight.21. What is anorexia nervosa (Sentence 1, Para. 1)?A. Eating disorder among adults.B. Unconsciously losing weight.C. Intentionally losing weight especially among young people.D. Losing weight to keep fit.22. What is the ultimate cause of Deborah’s illness?A. Being shy .B. Being interested in boys.C. Her father’s joke.D. Her wrong concept of being attractive.23. In order to lose weight, Deborah did the following things EXCEPT __________.A. weighted the food on scale.B. measured liquids.C. never took an elevator if she could walk up.D. had enough sleep.24. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Deborah’s case is unique.B. People with anorexia nervosa never suffer from hunger pains.C. People with anorexia nervosa intentionally starve themselves.D. The reason why people with anorexia nervosa are terrified of gaining weight is very clear. 姓名：＿＿＿＿25. We can infer from this passage that people with anorexia nervosa __________.A. can be cured by medicineB. would better consult a psychiatristC. are often fat and uglyD. are often bone-thin2. The advantages and disadvantages of a large population have long been a subject of discussion among economists. It has been argued that the supply of good land is limited. To feed a large population, inferior land must be cultivated and the good land worked intensively. Thus, each person produces less and this means a lower average income than could be obtained with a smaller population. Other economists have argued that a large population gives more scope for specialization and the development of facilities such as ports, roads and railways, which are not likely to be built unless there is a big demand to justify them.One of the difficulties in carrying out a world-wide birth control program lies in the fact that official attitudes to population growth vary from country to country depending on the level of industrial development and the availability of food and raw materials. In the developing country where a vastly expanded population is pressing hard upon the limits of food, space and natural resources, it will be the first concern of government to place a limit on the birthrate, whatever the consequences may be. In a highly industrialized society the problem may be more complex. A decreasing birthrate may lead to unemployment because it results in a declining market for manufactured goods. When the pressure of population on housing declines, prices also decline and the building industry is weakened. Faced with considerations such as these, the government of a developed country may well prefer to see a slowly increasing population, rather than one which is stable or in decline.26. A small population may mean __________.A. higher productivity, but a lower average incomeB. lower productivity, but a higher average incomeC. lower productivity and a lower average incomeD. higher productivity and a higher average income27. According to the passage, a large population will provide a chance for developing__________.A. agricultureB. transport systemC. industryD. national economy28. In a developed country, people will perhaps go out of work if the birthrate _________.A. goes upB. goes downC. remains stableD. is out of control29. According to the passage, slowly rising birthrate perhaps is good for __________.A. a developing nationB. a developed nationC. every nation with a big populationD. every nation with a small population30. It is no easy job to carry out a general plan for birth control throughout the world because__________.A. there are too many underdeveloped countries in the worldB. underdeveloped countries have low level of industrial developmentC. different governments have different views of the questionD. even developed countries may have complex problems3. There are many ways to find a job. it can be as easy as walking into a neighborhood store to look at its announcement board. Local stores often have areas where people can put small signs telling what kind of service they need or can provide. Such services include caring for children or cleaning houses.Or, job searchers can look in the newspaper. Local newspapers have employment announcements placed by companies seeking workers.Another popular tool for finding jobs is the internet. For example, people in four hundred and fifty cities around the world can use the Craigslist web site to buy objects, meet people or find a job. Craigslist says that it receives two million new job listings each month.Another useful way to find a job is through a college or university. For example, students at the University of Texas in Austin can go to the career exploration center to get help in finding a job. Of course, looking for a job requires knowing what kind of work you want to do, for ex ample, there is a book called “What Color is Y our Parachute (降落伞)?” by Richard Bolles. This book has been helping people choose a career (职业) since it was first published in nineteen seventy.Some experts also help people find jobs. Susan W. Miller owns a company called California career services in Los Angeles. She says her company helps people find jobs by first helping them understand their strengths, goals and interests, and then she provides them with methods and resources to help them find the right job.31. What is the passage mainly about?A. Finding a job.B. College students’ part-time jobs.C. Craigslist web site.D. The relation between study and work.32. By logging on the Craigslist web site, you can _________.A. sell your old thingsB. do some shopping onlineC. create your own announcement boardD. get useful information about 450 cities33. “What Color is Y our Parachute?” is a book which gives tips to those who want to __________.A. work on the airplaneB. buy a parachuteC. publish a bookD. find a suitable job34. It can be learned from the passage that ___________.A. companies often put job information in local shopsB. the internet is the most popular tool for job hunters in the USA.C. Susan W. Miller’s company is helping people choose careersD. California career services mainly serves university students35. how many ways of finding a job are mentioned in the passage?A. three.B. four.C. five.D. Six.4. Within a few years, girls in Europe have become heavier smokers than their male peers, for reasons experts still fail to understand, according to a British study presented last week to an international conference on smoking. Anti-smoking activists at the second “Tobacco or Health” conference pointed out that while adults were giving up smoking in ever growing numbers, more and more young people were taking up the habit, particularly girls, one 15-year-old in four is a regular smoker, according to study conducted in 27 countries in Europe. In Western Europe, girls were more likely than boys to smoke. In Germany or in England, one third of the girls were habitual smokers compared to one in four boys. In Eastern Europe, the girls “still lag behind” their western counterparts but were “catching up” quickly, said the study entitled “Home Behavior on Smoking Consumption.”The reasons for this pattern are unclear. They appear to contradict those who blame the trend on home background since growing numbers of adults, and therefore parents, are giving up smoking.Some theories claim girls see smoking as a way to affirm their equality with their male friends even though the girls have more than just caught up with the boys and in many cases now smoke more.Others say girls are a prime target of tobacco advertising campaigns which have abandoned the cowboy’s image to promote that of the modern, active young woman keen to stay slim. All the specialists agree, however, that they see no rational explanation for this trend.36.

Some people subscribe to as many as two or three different newspapers. But why do people read newspapers?Five hundred years ago, news of important happenings - battles lost and won, kings or rulers overthrown (推翻) or killed - took months and even years to travel from one country to another. The news passed by word of mouth and was never accurate. Today we can read in our newspapers of important events that occur in far away countries on the same day they happen.Apart from supplying news from all over the world, newspapers give us a lot of other useful information. There are weather reports, radio, television and film guides, book reviews, stories, and of course advertisements. The bigger ones are put in by large companies to bring attention to their products. They pay the newspapers thousands of dollars for the advertising space, but it is worth the money for news of their products goes into almost every home in the country. For those who produce newspapers, advertisements are also very important. Money earned fromadvertisements makes it possible for them to sell their newspapers at a low price and still make a profit.1. The phrase “subscribe to’’ in the first paragraph means“ ______”.A. go to the newspaper stand and buyB. send their own news stories toC. agree to buy for a specific period of timeD. become faithful readers of2. The habit of reading newspapers is _____.A. widespreadB. found among a few familiesC. not popularD. uncommon3. Before the time of the newspaper, _____.A. bad news traveled quickly and good news slowlyB. few people cared about events that took place in far away countriesC. kings and rulers were often overthrown or killedD. news was passed from one person to another4. The author seems to agree that money spent on advertisements is ______.A. wastedB. not muchC. well spentD. of no use to anyone5. Which of the following statements is TRUE? ______.A. Five hundred years ago it took a long time for news to reach other countries.B. Newspaper advertisements turn people’s attention away from their products.C. The news that we read in newspapers is mainly about new products.D. When newspapers are sold at a low price, the newspaper producers will lose money.Passage 2One silly question I simply can’t stand is“How do you feel”. Usually the question is asked of a man in action- a man on the go, walking along the street, or busily working at his desk. So what do you expect him to say? He’ll probably say, “Fine. I’m all right.”But “you’ve put a bug in his ear”- maybe now he’s not sure. If you are a good friend, you may have seen something in his face, or his walk that he did not realize that morning. It starts him worrying a little. First thing you know, he looks in a mirror to see if everything is all right, while you go merrily on your way asking someone else, ‘‘How do you feel?”Every question has its time and place. It’s perfectly acceptable, for instance, to ask ‘‘How do you feel?’’ i f you’re visiting a close friend in the hospital. But if the fellow is walking on both legs, hurrying to make a train, or sitting at his desk working, it’s no time to ask him that silly question.When George Bernard Shaw, the famous writer of plays was in his eighties, someone asked him “How do you feel”, Shaw put him in his place. ‘‘When you reach my age”, he said, “either you feel all right or you’re dead.”6. According to the writer, greetings, such as “How do you feel?”, ______.A. show one’s consideration for othersB. are a good way to make friendsC. are proper to ask a man in actionD. generally make one feel uneasy7. The question “How do you feel?” seems to be correct and suitable when asked of ______.A. a man working at his deskB. a person having lost a close friendC. a stranger who looks somewhat worriedD. a friend who is ill8. The writer seems to feel that a busy man should ______.A. be praised for his effortsB. never be asked any questionC. not be botheredD. be discouraged from working so hard9. George Bernard Shaw’s reply in the passage shows his ______.A. cheerfulnessB. clevernessC. abilityD. politeness10. ‘‘You’ve put a bug in his ear’’ means that you’ve ______.A. made him laughB. shown concern for himC. made fun of himD. given him some kind of warningPart IV Translate the following sentences.
