外国语学院大学外语教学部2009年8月2009级《大学英语》分级考试试卷Part I. Reading Comprehension (40%)Directions:Read the following passages and choose the best answer to each of the questions or incomplete statements following the passage. You must read the four choicesmarked A, B, C and D, and decide which is the best answer. Then mark thecorresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.(2’×20)Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.It has been a widespread belief that the American family is dying. But a new study reveals that the American family is stronger than ever. This study affords surprising evidence of the persistence of American commitments to family life.The American family is changing, not dying. It is becoming smaller, men and women are becoming more equal, and the divorce rate is higher. But despite the high divorce rate, marriage has never been more popular. The majority of divorced people remarry, but only 2% marry more than twice. Most marriages last a long time, and a large proportion of divorces are from teenage marriages. Depending on the specific situation, there’s often good reason for teenage marriages to break up.There is no evidence that children receive less attention from mothers who work outside the home than from mothers working inside the home. So far the amount of educational or development time hasn’t varied very much, whether or not the mother works outside the home. In fact, working mothers try to make up for it by setting aside time only for their children.The study shows that television is by far the most significant new childcare arrangement of this century. The most important activity for children up to age 14 is watching television.School is the second most time-consuming activity for children. They spend an average of about 19 hours a week in school. A larger proportion of children go to school earlier than ever before, and they stay in school longer. Another big change is that the proportion of very young children in daycare centers (日托站) has almost doubled in recent years. Compared with these two dramatic changes in child activity, the changes caused by mothers working outside the home appear very small.1 The main idea of this article is that _______.A. the American family is dyingB. young people today don’t want to get marriedC. the American family is changing, but it is stronger than everD. education has resulted in dramatic changes in the American family2 Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. Marriage is more popular than before.B. Many divorced people remarry.C. The majority of marriages last long.D. Working mothers devote less time to their children.3 The author of this article believes that ________.A. the American family is here to stayB. children should not watch so much televisionC. mothers should not work when their children are smallD. teenage marriages should be encouraged4 What is the most significant new childcare arrangement of this century?A. The daycare center.B. Television.C. The school.D. Development time.5 According to the writer, which two major factors have led to the belief that the Americanfamily is dying?A. The divorce rate is high and working mothers neglect their children.B. The divorce rate is high and children care more about television than anything else.C. Divorces are increasing and many teenage marriages break up.D. Children stay in school longer and mothers have little time to take care of them. Passage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage.What you give your relatives, friends, husband, or wife 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 bought and the people who buy them. Here is a guide to who gives you wha t --- 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 agree with you. I like you the way you are.” Such a gift should be taken as a form of compliment. On the other hand, a gift of clothing that does not match your personality could be an insult to your character.Making something by hand has become the exception in many countries toda y－so much so that giving a homemade gift is sometimes considered unusual. If you receive a homemade gift, you’re lucky. It may not be made perfectly, but it will show a certain quality of love. People who give homemade gifts may be said to be very generous. They are given time and emotion, two important characteristics of being creative.A person who thinks of food when thinking of a gift is good example of what human warmth means. Whether you give a box of chocolates, 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, this 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 sharing a feeling or a newly learned meaning. The giver is probably trying to say to you what the book said to him.6 The first paragraph is written to tell readers that ________.A. the gifts you give can help you understand yourself betterB. the gifts you receive are helpful for you to know the personality of those who give themC. gifts can show friendship and loveD. there is a certain relationship between the kinds of gifts and the people who give them7 A person who likes the self-image of another person will give the latter ________.A. clothesB. a homemade giftC. a gift that agrees with the personality of the receiverD. a gift that matches the character of the giver8 Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A. What you wear can tell something about your personality.B. Homemade gifts are not welcomed in some countries.C. People who give books as gifts either like reading or would like everyone to think they do.D. Reading books given to you as gifts can be a way of sharing a feeling with the giver.9 If you give a large, heavy book as a gift, it may show that _________.A. you are knowledgeableB. the receiver is interested in readingC. you dislike readingD. you are more interested in the appearance of the book than in its contents10 People who want to show their love towards others often give _______.A. homemade giftsB. delicious foodC. expensive clothesD. interesting booksPassage 3Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage.My love of nature goes right back to my childhood, to the times when I stayed on my grandparent’s farm in Suffolk. I think it was my grandmother who encouraged me more than anyone: she taught me the names of wildflowers and got me interested in looking at the countryside, so it seemed obvious to go on to do zoology at university.I did n’t get my first camera until after I’d graduated, when I was due to go diving in Norway and needed a method of recording the sea creatures I would find there. My father didn’t know anything about photography, but he bought me an Exacta, which was really quite a good camera for the time, and I went off to take my first pictures of sea starfish. I became keen very quickly, and I learnt how to develop and print.I’ve tried from the beginning to produce pictures which are always biologically correct. There ar e people who will alter things deliberately: you don’t pick up sea creatures from the middle of the shore and take them down to attractive pools at the bottom of the shore without knowing you’re doing it.There can be a lot of ignorance in people’s behavior towards wild animals and it’s a problem that more and more people are going to wild places: while some animals may get used to cars, they won’t get used to people suddenly rushing up to them. The sheer pressure of people, coupled with the fact that there are increasingly few places where no one else has photographed, means that over the years, life has become much more difficult for the professional wildlife photographers.Nevertheless, wildlife photographers play a very important part in educating people about what is out there and what needs conserving. Although photography can be an enjoyable pastime, as it is to many people, it is also something that plays a very important part in educating young and old alike.11 The author decided to go to university and study zoology because _______________.A. she wanted to improve her life in the countrysideB. she was persuaded to do so by her grandmotherC. she was keen on the natural worldD. she wanted to stop moving around all the time12 How is the author different from some of the other wildlife photographers she meets?A. She tries to make her photographs as attractive as possible.B. She takes photographs which record accurate natural conditions.C. She likes to photograph plants as well as wildlife.D. She knows the best places to find wildlife.13 The author now finds it more difficult to photograph wild animals because ______________.A. there are fewer of themB. they have become more nervous of peopleC. it is harder to find suitable placesD. they have become frightened of cars14 According to the author, wildlife photography is important because it can make people realizethat ___________________.A. photography is an enjoyable hobbyB. we learn little about wildlife at schoolC. it is worthwhile visiting the countrysideD. it is important to look after wild animals15 Which of the following describes the author?A. Proud.B. Sensitive.C. Aggressive.D. Disappointed.Passage 4Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.If you have been joining in chat room conversations, or trading e-mail with net pals, you have become one of the millions who write in a special, short form of English.Throughout the world, every night children and their elders are “talking”onlin e－many ofthem are talking at the same time.It is fast: trying talking to six people at once. It is convenient: three or four words per exchange. It takes cleverness, concentration and quick fingers.And it requires very simple language. There’s neither time nor space for explanations. Why waste precious key-strokes telling six friends you have to leave for a moment to take care of your little brother when BRB(= be right back) will do?Want to enter a conversation? Just type PMFJI (= pardon me for jumping in).Interested in whom you’re talking to? Type A/S/L, the common request to know your pal’s age, sex and location. You may get 15/M/NY as a reply from your pal.If something makes you laugh, say you’re OTF (= on the floor), or LOL (= laughing out loud), or join the two into ROTFL (= rolling on the floor laughing).And when it’s time to get back to work or go to bed, you type GTG (= got to go) or TTYL (= talk to you later).People want to write as fast as possible, and they want to get their ideas across as quickly as they can. Capital letters are left in the dust, except when expressing feelings, as it takes more time to hold down the “shift” key and use capitals. Punctuation is going, too.16 When people are online, they talk by_____.A. using body language.B. drawing some strange picturesC. making phone callsD. making use of an especially short form of English17 Internet makes many people in the world ______.A. talk at the same timeB. discover their friends and relativesC. pick out good things to buyD. find out about some problems in society18 The underlined sentence “There’s neither time nor space for explanation”(L.1, para. 4)means that _____.A. people should use words properlyB. people should know what time it is when they are talkingC. people online have to express themselves in a simple wayD. people should communicate in a funny way19 If you get 19/M/HK as an answer to your A/S/L, it means ______.A. the person who is talking to you is 19 from Hong Kong and he is highB. you are talking to a boy 19 years old and he lives in Hong KongC. you are talking to 19 boys from Hong Kong at the same timeD. the boy from Hong Kong has been online for 19 minutes20 Which of the following is a way to save online time?A. People seldom use capital letters or punctuation marks.B. Many people draw pictures.C. People only use the mouse instead of the keyboard.D. People never use the “shift” key.Part II.

Choose the ONE that best completes the sentence.Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single linethrough the center.

Then mark the corresponding letter on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.Faces, like fingerprints, are unique. Did you ever wonder how it is possible for us to 31 people? Even a skilled writer probably could not 32 all the distinctions that make one face different from another. Yet a very young child –oreven an animal, 33 a pigeon – can learn to recognize faces. We all 34 this ability for granted.We also tell people apart 35 how they behave. When we talk about someone’s per sonality, we mean the manners36 he or she acts, speaks, thinks, and feels that 37 that individual different from others.38 the human face, human personality is very complex. Butdescribing someone’s personality 39 words is somewhat easier than describing his face. If you were asked to describe what a “nice face” lo oked like, you 40 have a difficult time doing so.41 if you were asked to describe a “nice person,” you might begin to think about someone who was kind, 42 , friendly, warm, and so forth.There are many words to describe how a person thinks, feels, and acts. Gordon Allport, 43 U. S. psychologist, found nearly 18,000 English words characterizing differences in people’s behavior.

Reading Comprehension (45 points)Section A (30 points, 2 for each)Directions: There are three passages in this part. Each of the three passages is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center. Questions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage：Television has now come to nearly every family. It has played a very important part in people's life. School children in the US watch TV about 25 hours a week.Some people feel that television is good for children because it helps them learn about their country and the world. With the help of programs of education, children do better in school. Other people feel that there are too many programs about love and crime on TV, and that even programs of education don't help children a lot. Children simply watch too much television, so they don't do a lot of other important things for their education. Children of three to six learn to speak their language and talk with people. When they are watching TV, they are only listening to the language, and they aren't talking with anyone. When school children watch TV, they read less. Because of this, they don't learn to read or write quickly at school.All children learn by doing, and they need time to play in order to learn about the world. When they watch TV, they play less. They also have less time to communicate with their parents and friends, and they have less time for sports.Recently, fifteen families in Denver decided to stop watching TV for a month or more. At first it was difficult, but there were soon a lot of good changes. The children read, played, and exercised more, and the family became full of joy. But at the endof the month all the families began to watch TV as much as before. Not one family was able to give up television completely.46. Some people think that television is good for children because _______.A. some programs help them love their parentsB. the news programs are important to themC. it makes them play less than beforeD. they can learn something good from it47. Some people think that television is bad for children because _______.A. there are too many TV programs not good for childrenB. its language is difficult to understandC. it is helpful to their thinking and doingD. their eyes work much every day48. Because they watch too much TV, school children _______.A. write more quickly than beforeB. don't learn to read or write quickly at schoolC. play a lotD. read and write much more49. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. People can not live without television.B. Only through television can children learn about the world .C. When children are watching television, they talk with each other.D. When children watch TV, they read and play less.50. What is the writer’s attitude towards television?A. objectiveB. suspiciousC. compromisingD. appreciative Questions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage：This book on open education has two parts. The first part has to do with how the teacher feels about students. The second part has to do with what the teacher does in the classroom.In traditional education, the teacher may feel that students are not very grown up. Usually, teachers are older than students, and teachers feel that students are young and do not know much about the world. The teacher feels that he must tell the students what to do most of the time, and that he must make the students study specific things. In open education, the teacher's feelings are very different. The teacher feels that the students are individuals first, and students second. He expects his students to be responsible for the things they do, just as adults are. A student's ideas and feelings are just as important as the teacher's. The teacher allows his students to decide what they want to do, and does not make them study specific subjects or things. The teacher letsthem decide what to study and how much to study. It's very important for the teacher to show how he feels about the students.The second part of the idea of open education has to do with what the teacher does in the classroom. In the traditional classroom, the students are told what to do. There is a list of things that the students must do to finish the class. There are rules made by the teacher that the students must follow, even if the students see no reason for the rules. In open education, the teacher allows the students to choose what to do. They may study, or talk, or do nothing at all if they want. There are no specific things for the students to do. There are no traditionalrules made by the teacher. The only rules in an open classroom are rules for everyone' s safety. The students are allowed to discover subjects in the open classroom, instead of being made to study them. Open education is a really complex idea.51. What is this passage mainly about?A. The system of traditional education.B. The characteristics of open education.C. A comparison of two kinds of education.D. An emphasis on open education.52. According to the passage students in open education _______.A. have more freedomB. are restricted by regulationsC. study harderD. have better results in what they study53. What the author discusses in this passage concerns _______.A. the teaching procedureB. the students' activitiesC. what the teacher does in the classroomD. the attitude the teacher holds towards students and his classroom activities54. When a school has "A Child Is Most Important" as its slogan(口号), this schoolmost probably adopts the idea of _______.A. traditional educationB. open educationC. adult educationD. open university55. The author regards open education as _______.A. more reliableB. complexC. modernD. unusualQuestions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage：When 23-year-old Eric graduated from college last year, he didn’t have a job. Not wanting to give up his apartment and move back with his parents, he did what many young Americans are doing: he signed up with a temp (临时的) agency, which places workers on short-term jobs. Temporary workers such as Eric comprise 20 percent of the US workforce. In 1985, 417,000 workers were classified as temporary help. In 2005, there was more than 2.5 million, according to Labor Department data.Using temporary workers allows companies to increase or decrease the number of staff as their workloads change. It also allows companies to avoid the costs involved in hiring and firing long-term employees.Many temp agency owners and career specialists say temping is a good way for recent graduates to get experience. “Short-term jobs let graduates try out different companies to find the best fit,” said Pegi Wheatley, owner of a San Francisco temp agency.But things don’t always work out that way. “When I started temping, I had this idea that a temporary job could turn full-time. It worked for a friend of mine, but that didn’t happen for me,” said Eric, who quickly became bored with his office work. Eric stayed with the temp agency because he could earn US $ 10 an hour doing office work. Other short-term jobs, such as working as a store clerk or in a café, pay about US $ 7.But there are drawbacks for the higher pay. Because in theUS, health insurance is provided through employer, most temps are not entitled to workplace health benefits. Eric ran the risk that an accident or illness would land him in the hospital with no way to pay the bill. Other drawbacks, though less serious, still mean that temping for most graduates is exactly what its name implies ----a temporary choice. Instability, gaps between contracts, lack of vacation time and isolation from other employees are drawbacks, too.56. Eric took a short-term job mainly because _______.A. he didn’t want to give up his apa rtmentB. he liked to try out different companiesC. he wanted to get more experienceD. a short-term job is easier to do57. According to the passage, in the year of 2005, more than _______ workerswere classified as temporary help.A. 2.5 millionB. 12.5 millionC. 4.17 millionD. 25 million58. Which is NOT mentioned as an advantage of temping?A. It gives recent graduates experience.B. It enables employers to adjust their workforce.C. A temporary job will turn full-time.D. Employers can reduce their costs.59. Eric stayed with the temp agency for some time because _______.A. he liked his office workB. he was satisfied with the payC. his employer provided health insuranceD. he hated gaps between contracts60. What does the underlined word “drawbacks” in Paragraph 5 mean?A. BenefitsB. CompromisesC. RisksD. DisadvantagesSection B Short Answer Questions (15 points, 3 for each)Directions: Answer each of the questions in less than 10 words.Questions 61 to 65 are based on the following passage:Shopping for clothes is not the same experience for a man as it is for a woman.A man goes shopping because he needs something. He knows what he wants, and his purpose is to find it and buy it; the price is a second consideration. All men simply walk into a shop and ask for what they want. If the shop has it, the salesman quickly produces it, and the business of trying it on follows at once. And if all goes well, the deal can be and often is completed in less than five minutes, with no chat and to everyone’s satisfaction.Now how does a woman go out buying clothes? Her shopping is not always based on needs. She has never fully made up her mind what she wants, and she is only “having a look a round.” She will try on any number of things. The most im portant in her mind is the idea of finding something that everyone thinks suits her. Most women have an excellent sense of value when they buy clothes. They are always in the lookout for the unexpected bargain. Faced with a roomful of dresses, a woman may easily spend an hour going from one shelf toanother, to and fro, often slowing down her steps, before selecting the dresses she wants to try on. It is a tiring process, but apparently an enjoyable one. Most dress shops provide chairs for the waiting husbands.61. Why does a man go shopping?62. What is a man’s second consideration when he buys something?63. How quickly can the deal be completed for a man?64. What is the most important idea for a woman when she buys something?65. What do most dress shops provide for the waiting husbands?IV. Translation (20 points, 4 for each)Directions: In this part, there are five items which you are required to translate into Chinese.

外国语学院大学外语教学部2009年8月2009级《大学英语》分级考试试卷Part I. Reading Comprehension (40%)Directions:Read the following passages and choose the best answer to each of the questions or incomplete statements following the passage. You must read the four choicesmarked A, B, C and D, and decide which is the best answer. Then mark thecorresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.(2’×20)Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.It has been a widespread belief that the American family is dying. But a new study reveals that the American family is stronger than ever. This study affords surprising evidence of the persistence of American commitments to family life.The American family is changing, not dying. It is becoming smaller, men and women are becoming more equal, and the divorce rate is higher. But despite the high divorce rate, marriage has never been more popular. The majority of divorced people remarry, but only 2% marry more than twice. Most marriages last a long time, and a large proportion of divorces are from teenage marriages. Depending on the specific situation, there’s often good reason for teenage marriages to break up.There is no evidence that children receive less attention from mothers who work outside the home than from mothers working inside the home. So far the amount of educational or development time hasn’t varied very much, whether or not the mother works outside the home. In fact, working mothers try to make up for it by setting aside time only for their children.The study shows that television is by far the most significant new childcare arrangement of this century. The most important activity for children up to age 14 is watching television.School is the second most time-consuming activity for children. They spend an average of about 19 hours a week in school. A larger proportion of children go to school earlier than ever before, and they stay in school longer. Another big change is that the proportion of very young children in daycare centers (日托站) has almost doubled in recent years. Compared with these two dramatic changes in child activity, the changes caused by mothers working outside the home appear very small.1 The main idea of this article is that _______.A. the American family is dyingB. young people today don’t want to get marriedC. the American family is changing, but it is stronger than everD. education has resulted in dramatic changes in the American family2 Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. Marriage is more popular than before.B. Many divorced people remarry.C. The majority of marriages last long.D. Working mothers devote less time to their children.3 The author of this article believes that ________.A. the American family is here to stayB. children should not watch so much televisionC. mothers should not work when their children are smallD. teenage marriages should be encouraged4 What is the most significant new childcare arrangement of this century?A. The daycare center.B. Television.C. The school.D. Development time.5 According to the writer, which two major factors have led to the belief that the Americanfamily is dying?A. The divorce rate is high and working mothers neglect their children.B. The divorce rate is high and children care more about television than anything else.C. Divorces are increasing and many teenage marriages break up.D. Children stay in school longer and mothers have little time to take care of them. Passage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage.What you give your relatives, friends, husband, or wife 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 bought and the people who buy them. Here is a guide to who gives you wha t --- 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 agree with you. I like you the way you are.” Such a gift should be taken as a form of compliment. On the other hand, a gift of clothing that does not match your personality could be an insult to your character.Making something by hand has become the exception in many countries toda y－so much so that giving a homemade gift is sometimes considered unusual. If you receive a homemade gift, you’re lucky. It may not be made perfectly, but it will show a certain quality of love. People who give homemade gifts may be said to be very generous. They are given time and emotion, two important characteristics of being creative.A person who thinks of food when thinking of a gift is good example of what human warmth means. Whether you give a box of chocolates, 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, this 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 sharing a feeling or a newly learned meaning. The giver is probably trying to say to you what the book said to him.6 The first paragraph is written to tell readers that ________.A. the gifts you give can help you understand yourself betterB. the gifts you receive are helpful for you to know the personality of those who give themC. gifts can show friendship and loveD. there is a certain relationship between the kinds of gifts and the people who give them7 A person who likes the self-image of another person will give the latter ________.A. clothesB. a homemade giftC. a gift that agrees with the personality of the receiverD. a gift that matches the character of the giver8 Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A. What you wear can tell something about your personality.B. Homemade gifts are not welcomed in some countries.C. People who give books as gifts either like reading or would like everyone to think they do.D. Reading books given to you as gifts can be a way of sharing a feeling with the giver.9 If you give a large, heavy book as a gift, it may show that _________.A. you are knowledgeableB. the receiver is interested in readingC. you dislike readingD. you are more interested in the appearance of the book than in its contents10 People who want to show their love towards others often give _______.A. homemade giftsB. delicious foodC. expensive clothesD. interesting booksPassage 3Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage.My love of nature goes right back to my childhood, to the times when I stayed on my grandparent’s f arm in Suffolk. I think it was my grandmother who encouraged me more than anyone: she taught me the names of wildflowers and got me interested in looking at the countryside, so it seemed obvious to go on to do zoology at university.I didn’t get my first camera until after I’d graduated, when I was due to go diving in Norway and needed a method of recording the sea creatures I would find there. My father didn’t know anything about photography, but he bought me an Exacta, which was really quite a good camera for the time, and I went off to take my first pictures of sea starfish. I became keen very quickly, and I learnt how to develop and print.I’ve tried from the beginning to produce pictures which are always biologically correct. There are people who will alter things deliberately: you don’t pick up sea creatures from the middle of the shore and take them down to attractive pools at the bottom of the shore without knowing you’re doing it.There can be a lot of ignorance in people’s behavior towards wild animals and it’s a problem that more and more people are going to wild places: while some animals may get used to cars, they won’t get used to people suddenly rushing up to them. The sheer pressure of people, coupled with the fact that there are increasingly few places where no one else has photographed, means that over the years, life has become much more difficult for the professional wildlife photographers.Nevertheless, wildlife photographers play a very important part in educating people about what is out there and what needs conserving. Although photography can be an enjoyable pastime, as it is to many people, it is also something that plays a very important part in educating young and old alike.11 The author decided to go to university and study zoology because _______________.A. she wanted to improve her life in the countrysideB. she was persuaded to do so by her grandmotherC. she was keen on the natural worldD. she wanted to stop moving around all the time12 How is the author different from some of the other wildlife photographers she meets?A. She tries to make her photographs as attractive as possible.B. She takes photographs which record accurate natural conditions.C. She likes to photograph plants as well as wildlife.D. She knows the best places to find wildlife.13 The author now finds it more difficult to photograph wild animals because ______________.A. there are fewer of themB. they have become more nervous of peopleC. it is harder to find suitable placesD. they have become frightened of cars14 According to the author, wildlife photography is important because it can make people realizethat ___________________.A. photography is an enjoyable hobbyB. we learn little about wildlife at schoolC. it is worthwhile visiting the countrysideD. it is important to look after wild animals15 Which of the following describes the author?A. Proud.B. Sensitive.C. Aggressive.D. Disappointed.Passage 4Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.If you have been joining in chat room conversations, or trading e-mail with net pals, you have become one of the millions who write in a special, short form of English.Throughout the world, every night children and their elders are “talking”onlin e－many of them are talking at the same time.It is fast: trying talking to six people at once. It is convenient: three or four words per exchange. It takes cleverness, concentration and quick fingers.And it requires very simple language. There’s neither time nor space for explanations. Why waste precious key-strokes telling six friends you have to leave for a moment to take care of your little brother when BRB(= be right back) will do?Want to enter a conversation? Just type PMFJI (= pardon me for jumping in).Interested in whom you’re talking to? Type A/S/L, the common request to know your pal’s age, sex and location. You may get 15/M/NY as a reply from your pal.If something makes you laugh, say you’re OTF (= on the floor), or LOL (= laughing out loud), or join the two into ROTFL (= rolling on the floor laughing).And when it’s time to get back to work or go to bed, you type GTG (= got to go) or TTYL (= talk to you later).People want to write as fast as possible, and they want to get their ideas across as quickly as they can. Capital letters are left in the dust, except when expressing feelings, as it takes more time to hold down the “shift” key and use capitals. Punctuation is going, too.16 When people are online, they talk by_____.A. using body language.B. drawing some strange picturesC. making phone calls17 Internet makes many people in the world ______.A. talk at the same timeB. discover their friends and relativesC. pick out good things to buyD. find out about some problems in societyD. making use of an especially short form of English18 The underlined sentence “There’s neither time nor space for explanation”(L.1, para. 4)means that _____.A. people should use words properlyB. people should know what time it is when they are talkingC. people online have to express themselves in a simple wayD. people should communicate in a funny way19 If you get 19/M/HK as an answer to your A/S/L, it means ______.A. the person who is talking to you is 19 from Hong Kong and he is highB. you are talking to a boy 19 years old and he lives in Hong KongC. you are talking to 19 boys from Hong Kong at the same timeD. the boy from Hong Kong has been online for 19 minutes20 Which of the following is a way to save online time?A. People seldom use capital letters or punctuation marks.B. Many people draw pictures.C. People only use the mouse instead of the keyboard.D. People never use the “shift” key.Part II.

For question 8-10, complete the sentences with the information given in the passage.Colleges taking another look at value of merit-based aid Good grades and high tests scores still matter—a lot—to many colleges as they award financial aid.But with low-income students projected to make up an ever-larger share of the college-bound population in coming years, some schools are re-examining whether that aid, typically known as “merit aid”, is the most effective use of precious institutional dollars.George Washington University in Washington, D.C., for example, said last week that it would cut the value of its average merit scholarships by about one-third and reduce the number of recipients(接受者), pouring the savings, about $2.5 million, into need-based aid. Allegheny College in Meadville, Pa., made a similar decision three years ago.Now, Hamilton College in Clinton, N.Y., says it will phase out merit scholarships altogether. No current merit-aid recipients will lose their scholarships, but need-based aid alone will be awarded beginning with students entering in fall 2008.Not all colleges offer merit aid; generally, the more selective a school, the less likely it is to do so. Harvard and Princeton, for example, offer generous need-based packages, but many families who don’t meet need eligibility(资格)have been willingto pay whatever they must for a big-name school.For small regional colleges that struggle just to fill seats, merit aid can be an important revenue-builder because many recipients still pay enough tuition dollars over and above the scholarship amount to keep the institution running.But for rankings-conscious schools in between, merit aid has served primarily as a tool to recruit top students and to improve their academic profits. “They’re trying to buy students,” says Skidmore College economist Sandy Baum.Studies show merit aid also tends to benefit disproportionately students who could afford to enroll without it.“As we look to the future, we see a more pressing need to invest in need-based aid,”says Monica Inzer, dean of admission and financial aid at Hamilton, which has offered merit scholarships for 10 years. During that time, it rose in US News & World Report’s ranking of the best liberal arts colleges, from 25 to 17.Merit aid, which benefited about 75 students a year, or about 4% of its student body, at a cost of about $ 1 million a year, “served us well,”Inzer says, but “to be discounting the price for families that don’t need financial aid doesn’t feel right any more.”Need-based aid remains by far the largest share of all student aid, which includes state, federal and institutional grants. But merit aid, offered primarily by schools and states, is growing faster, both overall and at the institutional level.Between 1995-96 and 2003-04, institutional merit aid alone increased 212%, compared with 47% for need-based grants. At least 15 states also offer merit aid, typically in a bid to enroll top students in the state’s public institutions.But in recent years, a growing chorus(异口同声)of critics has begun pressuring schools to drop the practice. Recent decisions by Hamilton and others may be “a sign that people are starting to realize that there’s this destructive competition going on,”says Baum, co-author of a recent College Report that raises concerns about the role of institutional aid not based on need.David Laird, president of the Minnesota Private College Council, says many of his schools would like to reduce their merit aid but fear that in doing so, they would lose top students to their competitors.“No one can take one-sided action,”says Laird, who is exploring whether to seek an exemption(豁免)from federal anti-trust laws so member colleges can discuss how they could jointly reduce merit aid, “This is a merry-go-round that’s going very fast, and none of the institutions believe they can sustain the risks of trying to breakaway by themselves.”A complicating factor is that merit aid has become so popular with middle-income families, who don’t qualify for need-based aid, that many have come to depend on it. And, as tuitions continue to increase, the line between merit and need blurs.That’s one reason Allegheny College doesn’t plan to drop merit aid entirely.“We still believe in rewarding superior achievements and know that these top students truly value the scholarship,”says Scott Friedhoff, Allegheny’s vice president for enrollment.Emory University in Atlanta, which boasts a $4.7 billion endowment(捐赠), meanwhile, is taking another approach. This year, it announced it would eliminate loans for needy students and cap them for middle-income families. At the same time, it would expand its 28-year-old merit program.“Y eah, we’re playing the merit game,”acknowledges Tom Lancaster, associate dean for undergraduate education. But it has its strong point, too, he says. “The fact of the matter is, it’s not just about the lowest-income people. It’s the average American middle-class family who’s being priced out of the market.”*A few words about merit-based aid:Merit-based aid is aid offered to students who achieve excellence in a given area, and is generally known as academic, athletic and artistic merit scholarships.Academic merit scholarships are based on students’grades, GPA and overall academic performance during high school. They are typically meant for students going straight to college right after high school. However, there are scholarships for current college students with exceptional grades as well. These merit scholarships usually help students pay tuition bills, and they can be renewed each year as long as the recipients continue to qualify. In some cases, students may need to be recommended by their school or a teacher as part of the qualification process.Athletic merit scholarships are meant for students that excel(突出)in sports of any kind, from football to track and field events. Recommendation for these scholarships is required, since exceptional athletic performance has to be recognized by a coach or a referee(裁判). Applicants need to send in a tape containing their best performance.Artistic merit scholarships require that applicants excel in a given artistic area. This generally includes any creative field such as art, design, fashion, music, dance or writing. Applying for artistic merit scholarships usually requires that students submit aportfolio(选辑)of some sort, whether that includes a collection of artwork, a recording of a musical performance or a video of them dancing.1. With more and more low-income students pursuing higher education, a number of colleges are ________.A) offering students more merit-based aidB) revising their financial aid policiesC) increasing the amount of financial aidD) changing their admission processes2. What did Allegheny College in Meadville do three years ago?A) It tried to implement a novel financial aid program.B) It added $ 2.5 million to its need-based aid program.C) It phased out its merit-based scholarships altogether.D) It cuts its merit-based aid to help the needy students.3. The chief purpose of rankings-conscious colleges in offering merit aid is to ______.A) improve teaching quality B) boost their enrollmentsC) attract good students D) increase their revenues4. Monica Inzer, dean of admission and financial aid at Hamilton, believes ______.A) it doesn’t pay to spend $ 1 million a year to raise its rankingB) it gives students motivation to award academic achievementsC) it’s illogical to use so much money on only 4% of its studentsD) it’s not right to give aid to those who can afford the tuition5. In recent years, merit-based aid has increased much faster than need-based aid due to ______.A) more government funding to collegesB) fierce competition among institutionsC) the increasing number of top studentsD) schools’ improved financial situations6. What is the attitude of many private colleges toward merit aid, according to David Laird?A) They would like to see it reduced.B) They regard it as a necessary evil.C) They think it does more harm than good.D) They consider it unfair to middle-class families.7. Why doesn’t Allegheny College plan to drop merit aid entirely?A) Raising tuitions have made college unaffordable for middle-class families.B) With rising incomes, fewer students are applying for need-based aid.C) Many students from middle-income families have come to rely on it.D) Rising incomes have disqualified many students for need-based aid.8. Annual renewal of academic merit scholarships depends on whether the recipients remain ______.9. Applicants for athletic merit scholarships need a recommendation from a coach or a referee who ______ their exceptional athletic performance.10. Applicants for artistic merit scholarships must produce evidence to show their ______ in a particular artistic fieldPart ⅢListening Comprehension (35 minutes)Section ADirections: In this section, you will hear 8 short conversations and 2 long conversations.

外国语学院大学外语教学部2009年8月2009级《大学英语》分级考试试卷Part I. Reading Comprehension (40%)irections: Read the following passages and choose the best answer to each of the questions or incomplete statements following the passage. You must read thefour choices marked A, B, C and D, and decide which is the best answer. Thenmark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line throughthe center.(2’×20)Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.It has been a widespread belief that the American family is dying. But a new study reveals that the American family is stronger than ever. This study affords surprising evidence of the persistence of American commitments to family life.The American family is changing, not dying. It is becoming smaller, men and women are becoming more equal, and the divorce rate is higher. But despite the high divorce rate, marriage has never been more popular. The majority of divorced people remarry, but only 2% marry more than twice. Most marriages last a long time, and a large proportion of divorces are from teenage marriages. Depending on the specific situation, there’s often good reason for teenage marriages to break up.There is no evidence that children receive less attention from mothers who work outside the home than from mothers working inside the home. So far the amount of educational or development time hasn’t varied very much, whether or not the mother works outside the home. In fact, working mothers try to make up for it by setting aside time only for their children.The study shows that television is by far the most significant new childcare arrangement of this century. The most important activity for children up to age 14 is watching television.School is the second most time-consuming activity for children. They spend an average of about 19 hours a week in school. A larger proportion of children go to school earlier than ever before, and they stay in school longer. Another big change is that the proportion of very young children in daycare centers (日托站) has almost doubled in recent years. Compared with these two dramatic changes in child activity, the changes caused by mothers working outside the home appear very small.1 The main idea of this article is that _______.A. the American family is dyingB. young people today don’t want to get marriedC. the American family is changing, but it is stronger than everD. education has resulted in dramatic changes in the American family2 Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. Marriage is more popular than before.B. Many divorced people remarry.C. The majority of marriages last long.D. Working mothers devote less time to their children.3 The author of this article believes that ________.A. the American family is here to stayB. children should not watch so much televisionC. mothers should not work when their children are smallD. teenage marriages should be encouraged4 What is the most significant new childcare arrangement of this century?A. The daycare center.B. Television.C. The school.D. Development time.5 According to the writer, which two major factors have led to the belief that the Americanfamily is dying?A. The divorce rate is high and working mothers neglect their children.B. The divorce rate is high and children care more about television than anything else.C. Divorces are increasing and many teenage marriages break up.D. Children stay in school longer and mothers have little time to take care of them. Passage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage.What you give your relatives, friends, husband, or wife 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 bought and the people who buy them. Here is a guide to who gives you wha t --- 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 agree with you. I like you the way you are.” Such a gift should be taken as a form of compliment. On the other hand, a gift of clothing that does not match your personality could be an insult to your character.Making something by hand has become the exception in many countries toda y－so much so that giving a homemade gift is sometimes considered unusual. If you receive a homemade gift, you’re lucky. It may not be made perfectly, but it will show a certain quality of love. People who give homemade gifts may be said to be very generous. They are given time and emotion, two important characteristics of being creative.A person who thinks of food when thinking of a gift is good example of what human warmth means. Whether you give a box of chocolates, 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, this 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 a newly learned meaning. The giver is probably trying to say to you what the book said to him.6 The first paragraph is written to tell readers that ________.A. the gifts you give can help you understand yourself betterB. the gifts you receive are helpful for you to know the personality of those who givethemC. gifts can show friendship and loveD. there is a certain relationship between the kinds of gifts and the people who givethem7 A person who likes the self-image of another person will give the latter ________.A. clothesB. a homemade giftC. a gift that agrees with the personality of the receiverD. a gift that matches the character of the giver8 Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A. What you wear can tell something about your personality.B. Homemade gifts are not welcomed in some countries.C. People who give books as gifts either like reading or would like everyone to thinkthey do.D. Reading books given to you as gifts can be a way of sharing a feeling with the giver.9 If you give a large, heavy book as a gift, it may show that _________.A. you are knowledgeableB. the receiver is interested in readingC. you dislike readingD. you are more interested in the appearance of the book than in its contents10 People who want to show their love towards others often give _______.A. homemade giftsB. delicious foodC. expensive clothesD. interesting booksPassage 3Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage.My love of nature goes right back to my childhood, to the times when I stayed on my grandparent’s farm in Suffolk. I think it was my grandmother who encouraged me more thananyone: she taught me the names of wildflowers and got me interested in looking at the countryside, so it seemed obvious to go on to do zoology at university.I didn’t get my first camera until after I’d graduated, when I was due to go diving in Norway and needed a method of recording the sea creatures I would find there. My father didn’t know anything about photography, but he bought me an Exac ta, which was really quite a good camera for the time, and I went off to take my first pictures of sea starfish. I became keen very quickly, and I learnt how to develop and print.I’ve tried from the beginning to produce pictures which are always biologic ally correct. There are people who will alter things deliberately: you don’t pick up sea creatures from the middle of the shore and take them down to attractive pools at the bottom of the shore without knowing you’re doing it.There can be a lot of ignora nce in people’s behavior towards wild animals and it’s a problem that more and more people are going to wild places: while some animals may get used to cars, they won’t get used to people suddenly rushing up to them. The sheer pressure of people, coupled with the fact that there are increasingly few places where no one else has photographed, means that over the years, life has become much more difficult for the professional wildlife photographers.Nevertheless, wildlife photographers play a very important part in educating people about what is out there and what needs conserving. Although photography can be an enjoyable pastime, as it is to many people, it is also something that plays a very important part in educating young and old alike.11 The author decided to go to university and study zoology because _______________.A. she wanted to improve her life in the countrysideB. she was persuaded to do so by her grandmotherC. she was keen on the natural worldD. she wanted to stop moving around all the time12 How is the author different from some of the other wildlife photographers she meets?A. She tries to make her photographs as attractive as possible.B. She takes photographs which record accurate natural conditions.C. She likes to photograph plants as well as wildlife.D. She knows the best places to find wildlife.13 The author now finds it more difficult to photograph wild animals because______________.A. there are fewer of themB. they have become more nervous of peopleC. it is harder to find suitable placesD. they have become frightened of cars14 According to the author, wildlife photography is important because it can make peoplerealize that ___________________.A. photography is an enjoyable hobbyB. we learn little about wildlife at schoolC. it is worthwhile visiting the countrysideD. it is important to look after wild animals15 Which of the following describes the author?A. Proud.B. Sensitive.C. Aggressive.D. Disappointed.Passage 4Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.If you have been joining in chat room conversations, or trading e-mail with net pals, you have become one of the millions who write in a special, short form of English.Throughout the world, every night children and their elders are “talking” onlin e－many of them are talking at the same time.It is fast: trying talking to six people at once. It is convenient: three or four words per exchange. It takes cleverness, concentration and quick fingers.And it requires very simple language. There’s neither time nor space for explanations. Why waste precious key-strokes telling six friends you have to leave for a moment to take care of your little brother when BRB(= be right back) will do?Want to enter a conversation? Just type PMFJI (= pardon me for jumping in).Interested in whom you’re talking to? Type A/S/L, the common request to know your pal’s age, sex and location. You may get 15/M/NY as a reply from your pal.If something makes you laugh, say you’re OTF (= on the floor), or LOL (= laughing out loud), or join the two into ROTFL (= rolling on the floor laughing).And when it’s time to get back to work or go to bed, you type GTG (= got to go) or TTYL (= talk to you later).People want to write as fast as possible, and they want to get their ideas across as quickly as they can. Capital letters are left in the dust, except when expressing feelings, as it takes more time to hold down the “shift” key and use capitals. Punctuation is going, too.16 When people are online, they talk by_____.A. using body language.B. drawing some strange picturesC. making phone callsD. making use of an especially short form of English17 Internet makes many people in the world ______.A. talk at the same timeB. discover their friends and relativesC. pick out good things to buyD. find out about some problems in society18 The underlined sentence “There’s neither time nor space for explanation”(L.1, para. 4)means that _____.A. people should use words properlyB. people should know what time it is when they are talkingC. people online have to express themselves in a simple wayD. people should communicate in a funny way19 If you get 19/M/HK as an answer to your A/S/L, it means ______.A. the person who is talking to you is 19 from Hong Kong and he is highB. you are talking to a boy 19 years old and he lives in Hong KongC. you are talking to 19 boys from Hong Kong at the same timeD. the boy from Hong Kong has been online for 19 minutes20 Which of the following is a way to save online time?A. People seldom use capital letters or punctuation marks.B. Many people draw pictures.C. People only use the mouse instead of the keyboard.D. People never use the “shift” key.Part II.

Friendships between Americans can be close and real, yet disappear soon if situations change. Neither side feels hurt by this. Both may exchange Christmas greetings for a year or two, perhaps a few letters for a while —then no more. If the same two people meet again by chance, even years later, they pick up the friendship. This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand, because friendships between us flower more slowly but then may become lifelong feelings, extending (延伸) sometimes deeply into both families.Americans are ready to receive us foreigners at their homes, share their holidays, and their home life. They will enjoy welcoming us and be pleased if we accept their hospitality (好客) easily.Another difficult point for us Chinese to understand Americans is that although they include us warmly in their personal ever yday lives, they don’t show their politeness to us if it requires a great deal of time. This is usually the opposite of the practice in our country where we may be generous with our time. Sometimes, we, as hosts, will appear at airports even in the middle of the night to meet a friend. We may take days off to act as guides to our foreign friends. The Americans, however, express their welcome usually at homes, but truly can not manage the time to do a great deal with a visitor outside their daily routine. They will probably expect us to get ourselves from the airport to our own hotel by bus. And they expect that we will phone them from there. Once we arrive at their homes, the welcome will be full, warm and real. We will find ourselves treated hospitably.For the Americans, it is often considered more friendly to invite a friend to their homes than to go to restaurants, except for purely business matters. So accept their hospitality at home!21. The writer of this passage must be ______.A. an AmericanB. a ChineseC. a professorD. a student22. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. Friendships between Americans usually extend deeply into their families.B. Friendships between Americans usually last for all their lives.C. Americans always show their warmth even if they are very busy.D. Americans will continue their friendships again even after a long break.23. From the last two paragraphs we can learn that when we arrive in America to visit an American friend, we will probably be ______.A. warmly welcomed at the airportB. offered a ride to his homeC. treated hospitably at his homeD. treated to dinner in a restaurant24. The underlined words “generous with our time” in Paragraph 3 probably me an ______.A. strict with timeB. serious with timeC. careful with timeD. willing to spend time25. A suitable title for this passage would probably be “______”.A. Friendships between ChineseB. Friendships between AmericansC. Americans’ hosp italityD. Americans’ and Chinese’s views of friendshipsText B (10 points)Elizabeth Blackwell was born in England in 1821, and moved to New York City when she was ten years old. One day she decided that she wanted to become a doctor. That was nearly impossible for a woman in the middle of the nineteenth century. After writing many letters asking for admission(录取) to medical schools, she was finally accepted by a doctor in Philadelphia. She was so determined that she taught school and gave music lessons to get money for the cost of schooling.In 1849, after graduation from medical school. she decided to further her education in Paris. She wanted to be a surgeon(外科医师) , but a serious eye problem forced her to give up the idea.Upon returning to the United States, she found it difficult to start her own practice because she was a woman. By 1857 Elizabeth and her sister, also a doctor, along with another woman doctor, managed to open a new hospital, the first for women and children Besides being the first woman physician and founding her own hospital , she also set up the first medical school for women.26. Why couldn’t Elizabeth Blackwell realize her dream of becoming a surgeon?A. She couldn’t get admitted to medical schoolB. She decided to further her education in ParisC. A serious eye problem stopped herD. It was difficult for her to start a practice in the United States27. What main obstacle(障碍) almost destroyed Elizabeth’s chances for becoming for a doctor?A. She was a woman.考试时间：年月日专业年级 2009级英语层次专科学号学生姓名成绩B. She wrote too many letters.C. She couldn’t graduate from medical school.D. She couldn’t set up her hospital.28. How many years passed between her graduation from medical school and the opening of her hospital?A. Eight yearsB. Ten yearsC. Nineteen yearsD. Thirty-six years29. According to the passage, all of the following are “firsts” in the life of Elizabeth Blacekwell, except that she ______.A. became the first woman physicianB. was the first woman doctorC. and several other women founded the first hospital for women and childrenD. set up the first medical school for women30. Eilzabeth Blackwell spent most of her lift in _______.A. EnglandB. ParisC. the United StatesD. New York CityText C (10 points)Overhead bridges are found in many parts of Beijing, especially in places where traffic is very heavy and crossing the road is dangerous.The purpose of these bridges is to enable pedestrians (行人) to cross roads safely. Overhead bridges are used to very much the same way as zebra crossings. They are more efficient (效率高的) although less convenient because people have to climb up a long flight of steps. This is inconvenient especially to older people. When pedestrains use an overhead bridge, they do not hold up traffic. However, when they cross a busy road using a zebra crossing, traffic is held up. This is why the government has built many overhead bridges to help pedestrians and to keep traffic moving at the same time.The government of Beijing has spent a large amount of money on building these bridges. For their own safety, pedestrians should be encouraged to use them instead of risking (冒…危险) their lives by dashing across the road. Old people , however , may find it a little difficult climbing up and down the steps, but it is still much safer than walking across the road with all the danger of moving traffic.Overhead bridges serve a very useful purpose. Pedestrians, both old and young, should make it a habit to use them. This will prevent unnecessary accidents and loss of life.31. What is the advantage of overhead bridges mentioned in this passage?A. Taller trucks can pass under them.B. Pedestrians can climb up and have a view of the city.C. They are safer for pedestrians and can keep traffic moving at the same time.D. They are easier and more convenient for the pedestrians.32. Why were overhead bridges built in Beijing?A. Because they prevent traffic from being held up.B. Because they provide an easy way for the drivers to cross the road.C. Because they save money for the government.D. Because they save time for the pedestrians.33. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. Overhead bridges are found in every part of Beijing.B. Overhead bridges are only found in the centre of Beijing.C. Overhead bridges are found in many parts of big cities in China.D. Overhead bridges are found in places where traffic is heavy.34. The underlined words a zebra crossing probably mean ________.A. a safe place across a road for pedestrians to walk across the roadB. a wild animal from Africa that looks like a horse with broad dark brown and white stripes on its bodyC. a safe place across a road for zebras to walk across the roadD. a safe place across a road for children to play a game35. What is the writer’s attitude towards overhead bridges?A. It is inconvenient to older people to walk across the road.B. It is much safer for pedestrians though climbing up and down the steps may be a little difficult,C. An overhead bridge is more beautiful than a zebra crossing.D. To build overhead bridges is the business of the government.考试时间：年月日专业年级 2009级英语层次专科学号学生姓名成绩Part ⅢTRANSLATION1.Translate the following phrases into Chinese.(10%)1)contending historians2) a never-ending quest3) a matter of personal preference4)diametrically opposed points of view5)human motivations and behavior6)in the event of a submarine warfare7)an elusive yet intriguing goal8) a foolproof explanation9) a proximate cause10)the shore batteries2) Translate the following phrases into English.(10%) 1) 修改一个人的观点2）从这一前提出发3）支持某一观点4）从比较中获益5）淹没在大海之中6）命中注定要做某事7）做出假设8）夺回领土9）将证据凑在一起10）掌握新技术3．Translate the following Chinese into English.(10%)1.为了安全起见，车上每个人都必须系上安全带。

part ii reading comprehension （skimming and scanning）（15 minutes）directions: in this part, you will have 15 minutes to go over the passage quickly and answer the questions on answer sheet 1.for questions 1-7,choose the best answer from the four choices marked a）,b）,c）and d）.for questions 8-10,complete the sentences with the information given in the passage.that's enough, kidsit was a lovely day at the park and stella bianchi was enjoying the sunshine with her two children when a young boy, aged about four, approached her two-year-old son and pushed him to the ground."i'd watched him for a little while and my son was the fourth or fifth child he’d shoved," she says." i went over to them, picked up my son, turned to the boy an d said, firmly, 'no, we don’t push," what happened next was unexpected."the boy's mother ran toward me from across the park," stella says," i thought she was coming over to apologize, but instead she started shouting at me for disciplining her child, al l i did was let him know his behavior was unacceptable. was i supposed to sit back while her kid did whatever he wanted, hurting other children in the process？"getting your own children to play nice is difficult enough. dealing with other people's child ren has become a minefield.in my house, jumping on the sofa is not allowed. in my sister's house it’s encouraged. for her, it's about kids being kids:"if you can’t do it at three, when can you do it？"each of these philosophies is valid and, it has to be said, my son loves visiting his aunt's house. but i find myself saying "no" a lot when her kids are over at mine. that’s ok between sisters but becomes dangerous territory when you're talking to the children of friends or acquaintances."kids aren't all raised the same," agrees professor naomi white of monash university." but there is still an idea that they’re the property of the parent. we see our children as an extension of ourselves, so if you're saying that my child is behaving inappropriately, t hen that’s somehow a criticism of me."in those circumstances, it's difficult to know whether to approach the child directly or the parent first. there are two schools of thought."i'd go to the child first," says andrew fuller, author of tricky kids. usually a quiet reminder that ’we don't do that here’ is enough. kids nave finely tuned antennae （直觉）for how to behave in different settings."he points out bringing it up with the parent first may make them feel neglectful, which could cause problems. of course, approaching the child first can bring its own headaches, too.this is why white recommends that you approach the parents first. raise your concerns with the parents if they're there and ask them to deal with it," she says.asked how to approach a parent in this situation, psychologist meredith fuller answers:"explain your needs as well as stressing the importance of the friendship. preface your remarks with something like: 'i know you’ll think i'm silly but in my house i don’t want…'"when it comes to situations where you're caring for another child, white is straightforward: "common sense must prevail. if things don’t go well, then have a chat."there're a couple of new grey areas. physical punishment, once accepted from any adult, is no longer appropriate. "a new set of considerations has come to the fore as part of the debate about how we handle children."for andrew fuller, the child-centric nature of our society has affected everyone:" the rules are different now from when today's parents were growing up," he says, "adult s are scared of saying: ’don't swear’, or asking a child to stand up on a bus. they're worried that there will be conflict if they point these things out – either from older children, or their parents."he sees it as a loss of the sense of common public good and public courtesy （礼貌）, and says that adults suffer form it as much as child.meredith fuller agrees: "a code of conduct is hard to create when you're living in a world in which everyone is exhausted from overwork and lack of sleep, and a world in which nice people are perceived to finish last.""it's about what i’m doing and what i need," andrew fuller says. "the days when a kid came home from school and said, "i got into trouble". and dad said, 'you probably deserved it’. are over. now the parents are charging up to the school to have a go at teachers."this jumping to our children's defense is part of what fuels the "walking on eggshells" feeling that surrounds our dealings with other people’s children. you know that if you remonstrate（劝诫）with the child, you're going to have to deal with the parent. it’s admirable to be protective of our kids, but is it good？"children have to learn to negotiate the world on their own, within reasonable boundaries," white says. "i suspect that it's only certain sectors of the population doing the running to the school –better–educated parents are probably more likely to be too involved."white believes our notions of a more child-centred, it's a way of talking about treating our children like commodities（商品）. we’re centred on them but in ways that reflect positively on us. we treat them as objects whose appearance and achievements are something we can be proud of, rather than serve the best interests of the children."one way over-worked, under-resourced parents show commitment to their children is to leap to their defence. back at the park, bianchi's intervention（干预）on her son’s behalf ended in an undignified exchange of insulting words with the other boy's mother.as bianchi approached the park bench where she'd been sitting, other mums came up to her and congratulated her on taking a stand. "apparently the boy had a longstanding reputation for bad behaviour and his mum for even worse behaviour if he was challenged."andrew fuller doesn't believe th at we should be afraid of dealing with other people’s kids. "look at kids that aren't your own as a potential minefield," he says. he recommends that we don’t stay silent over inappropriate behaviour, particularly with regular visitors.注意：此部分试题请在答题卡1上作答。

本四六级大全，出第一版之时，我们是以文档发布的，这主要是考虑到您引用方便，网友使用也方便。
可是令我们感到沮丧的是，少数网站站长，对别人的还有的站长，技术水平更高一些，更勤劳一些，把我们的WORD文档转为PDF文档，并且，还给PDF文档加上密，去掉我们的标识及使用说明仍不甘罢休，还英明地加上了自己网站的标识；还有的制作文档的技术水平比较高，给做成了这个格式的文档。

What she hadn’t knownat the time of the interview was that the candidate’s “different” behavior wassimply a cultural misunderstanding. He was an Asian-American raised in a householdwhere respect for those in authority was shown by averting ( (避开避开) your eyes.“I was just thrown off by the lack of eye contact; not realizing it was cultural,”Tiffany says. “I missed out, but will not miss that opportunity again.”Many Many of of of us us us have have have had had had similar similar similar encounters encounters encounters with with behaviors behaviors we we we perceive perceive perceive as as as different. different.As the world becomes smaller and our workplaces more diverse, it is becoming essential to expand our understanding of others and to reexamine some of our false assumptions.Hire AdvantageAt At a a a time time time when when when hiring hiring hiring qualified qualified qualified people people people is is is becoming more becoming more becoming more difficult, difficult, difficult, employers employers employers who whocan eliminate invalid biases ( (偏见偏见) from the process have a distinct advantage.

In my ignorance, I assumed he had his dates wrong, as the first of January had just passed. When I advised him of this, I gave him a long talking-to about turning in requests early with the proper dates.“He patiently waited, then when I was done, he said he would like Chinese New Year off, not the Western New Year. He explained politely that in his culture the new year did not begin January first, and that Chinese New Year, which is tied to the lunar cycle, is one of the most celebrated holidays on the Chinese calendar. Needless to say, I felt very embarrassed in assuming he had his dates mixed up. But I learned a great deal about assumptions, and that the timing of holidays varies considerably from culture to culture.“Attending the diversity workshop helped me realize how much I could l earn by simply asking questions and creating dialogues with my employees, rather than making assumptions and trying to be a a know-it-know-it-know-it-all,” all,” Doug admits. “The biggest thing I took away from the workshop is learning how to be more ‘inclusive’ to differences.”A Better Bottom LineAn open mind about diversity not only improves organizations internally, it is profitable as well. These comments from a customer service representative show how an inclusive attitude can improve sales. “Most of my customers speak Engl ish as a second language. One of the best things my company has done is to contract with a language service that offers translations over the phone. It wasn’t until my boss received Mindsets’ training that she was able to understand how important inclusive inclusiveness nesswas to customer service. As a result, our customer base has increased.” Once Once we we we start start start to to see see people people people as as as individuals, individuals, individuals, and and and discard discard discard the the the stereotypes, stereotypes, stereotypes, we we we can can move positively toward inclusiveness for everyone. Diversity is about coming together and taking advantage of our differences and similarities. It is about building bettercommunities and organizations that enhance us as individuals and reinforce our shared humanity.When we begin to question our assumptions and challenge what we think we have learned from our past, from the media, peers, family, friends, etc., we begin to realize that some of our conclusions are flawed (有缺陷的) or contrary to our fundamental values. We need to train ourselves to think differently, shift our mindsets and realize that diversity opens doors for all of us, creating opportunities in organizations and communities that benefit everyone.注意：此部分试题请在答题卡1上作答。

外国语学院大学外语教学部2009年8月2009级《大学英语》分级考试试卷Part I.Reading Comprehension(40%)Directions:Read the following passages and choose the best answer to each of the questions or incomplete statements following the passage.You must read the four choicesmarked A,B,C and D,and decide which is the best answer.Then mark thecorresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.(2’×20)Passage1Questions1to5are based on the following passage.It has been a widespread belief that the American family is dying.But a new study reveals that the American family is stronger than ever.This study affords surprising evidence of the persistence of American commitments to family life.The American family is changing,not dying.It is becoming smaller,men and women are becoming more equal,and the divorce rate is higher.But despite the high divorce rate,marriage has never been more popular.The majority of divorced people remarry,but only2%marry more than twice.Most marriages last a long time,and a large proportion of divorces are from teenage marriages.Depending on the specific situation,there’s often good reason for teenage marriages to break up.There is no evidence that children receive less attention from mothers who work outside the home than from mothers working inside the home.So far the amount of educational or development time hasn’t varied very much,whether or not the mother works outside the home.In fact,working mothers try to make up for it by setting aside time only for their children.The study shows that television is by far the most significant new childcare arrangement of this century.The most important activity for children up to age14is watching television.School is the second most time-consuming activity for children.They spend an average of about19hours a week in school.A larger proportion of children go to school earlier than ever before,and they stay in school longer.Another big change is that the proportion of very young children in daycare centers(日托站)has almost doubled in recent pared with these two dramatic changes in child activity,the changes caused by mothers working outside the home appear very small.1The main idea of this article is that_______.A.the American family is dyingB.young people today don’t want to get marriedC.the American family is changing,but it is stronger than evercation has resulted in dramatic changes in the American family2Which of the following statements is NOT true?A.Marriage is more popular than before.B.Many divorced people remarry.C.The majority of marriages last long.D.Working mothers devote less time to their children.3The author of this article believes that________.A.the American family is here to stayB.children should not watch so much televisionC.mothers should not work when their children are smallD.teenage marriages should be encouraged4What is the most significant new childcare arrangement of this century?A.The daycare center.B.Television.C.The school.D.Development time.5According to the writer,which two major factors have led to the belief that the American family is dying?A.The divorce rate is high and working mothers neglect their children.B.The divorce rate is high and children care more about television than anything else.C.Divorces are increasing and many teenage marriages break up.D.Children stay in school longer and mothers have little time to take care of them. Passage2Questions6to10are based on the following passage.What you give your relatives,friends,husband,or wife 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 bought and the people who buy them.Here is a guide to who gives you wha t---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 agree with you.I like you the way you are.”Such a gift should be taken as a form of compliment.On the other hand,a gift of clothing that does not match your personality could be an insult to your character.Making something by hand has become the exception in many countries toda y－so much so that giving a homemade gift is sometimes considered unusual.If you receive a homemade gift, you’re lucky.It may not be made perfectly,but it will show a certain quality of love.People who give homemade gifts may be said to be very generous.They are given time and emotion,two important characteristics of being creative.A person who thinks of food when thinking of a gift is good example of what human warmth means.Whether you give a box of chocolates,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,this 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 sharing a feeling or a newly learned meaning.The giver is probably trying to say to you what the book said to him.6The first paragraph is written to tell readers that________.A.the gifts you give can help you understand yourself betterB.the gifts you receive are helpful for you to know the personality of those who give themC.gifts can show friendship and loveD.there is a certain relationship between the kinds of gifts and the people who give them7A person who likes the self-image of another person will give the latter________.A.clothesB.a homemade giftC.a gift that agrees with the personality of the receiverD.a gift that matches the character of the giver8Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A.What you wear can tell something about your personality.B.Homemade gifts are not welcomed in some countries.C.People who give books as gifts either like reading or would like everyone to think they do.D.Reading books given to you as gifts can be a way of sharing a feeling with the giver.9If you give a large,heavy book as a gift,it may show that_________.A.you are knowledgeableB.the receiver is interested in readingC.you dislike readingD.you are more interested in the appearance of the book than in its contents10People who want to show their love towards others often give_______.A.homemade giftsB.delicious foodC.expensive clothesD.interesting booksPassage3Questions11to15are based on the following passage.My love of nature goes right back to my childhood,to the times when I stayed on my grandparent’s farm in Suffolk.I think it was my grandmother who encouraged me more than anyone:she taught me the names of wildflowers and got me interested in looking at the countryside, so it seemed obvious to go on to do zoology at university.I didn’t get my first camera until after I’d graduated,when I was due to go diving in Norway and needed a method of recording the sea creatures I would find there.My father didn’t know anything about photography,but he bought me an Exacta,which was really quite a good camera for the time,and I went off to take my first pictures of sea starfish.I became keen very quickly,and I learnt how to develop and print.I’ve tried from the beginning to produce pictures which are always biologically correct.There are people who will alter things deliberately:you don’t pick up sea creatures from the middle of the shore and take them down to attractive pools at the bottom of the shore without knowing you’re doing it.There can be a lot of ignorance in people’s behavior towards wild animals and it’s a problem that more and more people are going to wild places:while some animals may get used to cars,they won’t get used to people suddenly rushing up to them.The sheer pressure of people,coupled with the fact that there are increasingly few places where no one else has photographed,means that over the years,life has become much more difficult for the professional wildlife photographers.Nevertheless,wildlife photographers play a very important part in educating people about what is out there and what needs conserving.Although photography can be an enjoyable pastime,as it is to many people,it is also something that plays a very important part in educating young and old alike.11The author decided to go to university and study zoology because_______________.A.she wanted to improve her life in the countrysideB.she was persuaded to do so by her grandmotherC.she was keen on the natural worldD.she wanted to stop moving around all the time12How is the author different from some of the other wildlife photographers she meets?A.She tries to make her photographs as attractive as possible.B.She takes photographs which record accurate natural conditions.C.She likes to photograph plants as well as wildlife.D.She knows the best places to find wildlife.13The author now finds it more difficult to photograph wild animals because______________.A.there are fewer of themB.they have become more nervous of peopleC.it is harder to find suitable placesD.they have become frightened of cars14According to the author,wildlife photography is important because it can make people realize that___________________.A.photography is an enjoyable hobbyB.we learn little about wildlife at schoolC.it is worthwhile visiting the countrysideD.it is important to look after wild animals15Which of the following describes the author?A.Proud.B.Sensitive.C.Aggressive.D.Disappointed.Passage4Questions16to20are based on the following passage.If you have been joining in chat room conversations,or trading e-mail with net pals,you have become one of the millions who write in a special,short form of English.Throughout the world,every night children and their elders are“talking”onlin e－many ofthem are talking at the same time.It is fast:trying talking to six people at once.It is convenient:three or four words per exchange.It takes cleverness,concentration and quick fingers.And it requires very simple language.There’s neither time nor space for explanations.Why waste precious key-strokes telling six friends you have to leave for a moment to take care of your little brother when BRB(=be right back)will do?Want to enter a conversation?Just type PMFJI (=pardon me for jumping in).Interested in whom you’re talking to?Type A/S/L,the common request to know your pal’s age,sex and location.You may get 15/M/NY as a reply from your pal.If something makes you laugh,say you’re OTF (=on the floor),or LOL (=laughing out loud),or join the two into ROTFL (=rolling on the floor laughing).And when it’s time to get back to work or go to bed,you type GTG (=got to go)or TTYL (=talk to you later).People want to write as fast as possible,and they want to get their ideas across as quickly as they can.Capital letters are left in the dust,except when expressing feelings,as it takes more time to hold down the “shift”key and use capitals.Punctuation is going,too.16When people are online,they talk by_____ing body language.B.drawing some strange pictures C.making phone calls D.making use of an especially short form of English18The underlined sentence “There’s neither time nor space for explanation”(L.1,para.4)means that _____.A.people should use words properly B.people should know what time it is when they are talking C.people online have to express themselves in a simple way D.people should communicate in a funny way19If you get 19/M/HK as an answer to your A/S/L,it means ______.A.the person who is talking to you is 19from Hong Kong and he is high B.you are talking to a boy 19years old and he lives in Hong Kong C.you are talking to 19boys from Hong Kong at the same time D.the boy from Hong Kong has been online for 19minutes17Internet makes many people in the world ______.A.talk at the same time B.discover their friends and relatives C.pick out good things to buy D.find out about some problems in society20Which of the following is a way to save online time?A.People seldom use capital letters or punctuation marks.B.Many people draw pictures.C.People only use the mouse instead of the keyboard.D.People never use the“shift”key.Part II.Vocabulary and Structure(15%)Directions:There are30incomplete sentences in this part.For each sentence there are four choices marked A,B,C and D.Choose the ONE that best completes the sentence.Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single linethrough the center.(0.5’×30)21My sponsor______me__________money when I lost my job.A.worked…out by C.kept…out withB.helped…out with D.carried…out for22______you have finished
