Cloze (10%)There are 20 blanks in the passage, and 25 words in the box below the passage. Decide which given word should go to which blank.Children model themselves largely on their parents. They do so mainly through identification. Children identify 21 a parent when they believe they have the qualities and feelings that are 22 of that parent. The things parents do and say—and the 23 they do and say to them—therefore strongly influence a child's 24 . However, parents must consistently behave like the type of 25 they want their child to become.A parent's actions 26 affect the self-image that a child forms 27 identification. Children who see mainly positive qualities in their 28 will likely learn to see themselves in a positive way.

Please read them carefully and answer the 20 questions following these passages.Questions 41 to 45 refer to the passage below:I had an experience some years ago which taught me something about the ways in which people make a bad situation worse by blaming themselves. One January, I had to officiate at two funerals on successive days for two elderly women in my community. Both had died "full of years," as the Bible would say; both yielded to the normal wearing out of the body after a long and full life. Their homes happened to be near each other, so I paid condolence calls on the two families on the same afternoon.At the first home, the son of the deceased woman said to me, "If only I had sent my mother to Florida and gotten her out of this cold and snow, she would be alive today. It's my fault that she died." At the second home, the son of the other deceased woman said, "If only I hadn't insisted on my mother's going to Florida, she would be alive today. That long airplane ride, the abrupt change of climate, was more than she could take. It's my fault that she's dead."When things don't turn out as we would like them to, it is very tempting to assume that had we done things differently, the story would have had a happier ending. Priests know that any time there is a death, the survivors will feel guilty. Because the courseof action they took turned out badly, they believe that the opposite course - keeping Mother at home, postponing the operation – would have turned out better. After all, how could it have turned out any worse?There seem to be two elements involved in our readiness to feel guilt. The first is our pressing need to believe that the world makes sense, that there is a cause for every effect and a reason for everything that happens. That leads us to find patterns and connections both where they really exist and where they exist only in our minds.The second element is the notion that we are the cause of what happens, especially the bad things that happen. It seems to be a short step from believing that every event has a cause to believing that every disaster is our fault. The roots of this feeling may lie in our childhood. Psychologists speak of the infantile myth of omnipotence . A baby comes to think that the world exists to meet his needs, and that he makes everything happen in it. He wakes up in the morning and summons the rest of the world to its tasks. He cries, and someone comes to attend to him. When he is hungry, people feed him, and when he is wet, people change him. Very often, we do not completely outgrow that infantile notion that our wishes cause things to happen.41. What is said about the two deceased elderly women?A) They lived out a natural life.B) They died of exhaustion after the long plane ride.C) They weren't accustomed to the change in weather.D) They died due to lack of care by family members.42. The author had to conduct the two women's funerals probably because ________.A) he wanted to console the two familiesB) he was an official from the communityC) he had great sympathy for the deceasedD) he was priest of the local church43. What does the underlined word “condolence” mean (Line 6, Para. 1)?A) inquiry B) sympathy C) indifferent D) emergency44. People feel guilty for the deaths of their loved ones because ________A) they couldn't find a better way to express their griefB) they believe that they were responsibleC) they had neglected the natural course of eventsD) they didn't know things often turn out in the opposite direction45. In the context of the passage, "... the world makes sense" (Line 2, Para, 4) probably means that ________.A) everything in the world is predeterminedB) the world can be interpreted in different waysC) there's an explanation for everything in the worldD) we have to be sensible in order to understand the worldQuestions 45-50 refer to the following passage:Throughout the nation's more than 15,000 school districts, widely differing approaches to teaching science and math have emerged. Though there can be strength in diversity, a new international analysis suggests that this variability has instead contributed to lackluster achievement scores by U.S. children relative to their peers in other developed countries. Indeed, concludes William H. Schmidt of Michigan State University, who led the new analysis, "no single intellectually coherent vision dominates U.S. educational practice in math or science.'' The reason, he said, "is because the system is deeply and fundamentally flawed."The new analysis, released this week by the National Science Foundation in Arlington, Va., is based on data collected from about 50 nations as part of the Third International Mathematics and Science Study.Not only do approaches to teaching science and math vary among individual U.S. communities, the report finds, but there appears to be little strategic focus within a school district’s curricula, its textbooks, or its teachers' activities. This contrasts sharply with the coordinated national programs of most other countries.On average, U.S. students study more topics within science and math than their international counterparts do. This creates an educational environment that "is a mile wide and an inch deep," Schmidt notes.For instance, eighth graders in the United States cover about 33 topics in math versus just 19 in Japan. Among science courses, the international gap is even wider. U.S. curricula for this age level resemble those of a small group of countries including Australia, Thailand, Iceland, and Bulgaria. Schmidt asks whether the United States wants to be classed with these nations, whose educational systems "share our pattern of splintered visions" but which are not economic leaders.The new report "couldn't come at a better time," says Gerald Wheeler, executive director of the National Science Teachers Association in Arlington. "The new National Science Education Standards provide that focused vision," including the call "to do less, but in greater depth."Implementing the new science standards and their math counterparts will be the challenge, he and Schmidt agree, because the decentralized responsibility for education in the United States requires that any reforms be tailored and instituted one community at a time.In fact, Schmidt argues, reforms such as these proposed national standards "face an almost impossible task, because even though they are intellectually coherent, each becomes only one more voice in the babble."46. What does the underlined word “lackluster” mean in the passage (Line 4, Para. 1)?A) unique B) distinguishing C)important D) common47. According to the passage, the teaching of science and math in America isA) focused on tapping students' potentialB) characterized by its diversityC) losing its vitality graduallyD) going downhill in recent years48. The fundamental flaw of American school education is that ________.A) it lacks a coordinated national programB) it sets a very low academic standard for studentsC) it relies heavily on the initiative of individual teachersD) it attaches too much importance to intensive study of school subjects49. By saying that the U.S. educational environment is "a mile wide and an inch deep"(Line 2, Para. 5), the author means U.S. educational practice ________.A) lays stress on quality at the expense of quantityB) offers an environment for comprehensive educationC) encourages learning both in depth and in scopeD) scratches the surface of a wide range of topics50. The new National Science Education Standards are good news in that they willA) provide depth to school science educationB) solve most of the problems in school teachingC) be able to meet the demands of the communityD) quickly dominate U.S. educational practiceQuestions 51-55 refer to the passage that follows:There are good reasons to be troubled by the violence that spreads throughout the media. Movies, Television and video games are full of gunplay and bloodshed, and one might reasonably ask what’s wrong with a socie ty that presents videos of domestic violence as entertainment.Most researchers agree that the causes of real-world violence are complex. A 1993 study by the U.S. National Academy of Sciences listed “biological, individual, family, peer, school, and commun ity factors” as all playing their parts.Viewing abnormally large amounts of violent television and video games may well contribute to violent behavior in certain individuals. The trouble comes when researchers downplay uncertainties in their studies or overstate the case for causality. Skeptics were dismayed several years ago when a group of societies including the American Medical Association tried to end the debate by issuing a joint statement: “At this time, well over 1,000 studies... point overwhelming ly to a causal connection between media violence and aggressive behavior in some children.”Freedom-of-speech advocates accused the societies of catering to politicians, and even disputed the number of studies (most were review articles and essays, they said). When Jonathan Freedman, a social psychologist at the University of Toronto, reviewed the literature, he found only 200 or so studies of television-watching and aggression. And when he weeded out “the most doubtful measures of aggression”, only 28% supported a connection.The critical point here is causality. The alarmists say they have proved that violent media cause aggression. But the assumptions behind their observations need tobe examined. When labeling games as violent or non-violent, should a hero eating a ghost really be counted as a violent event? And when experimenters record the time it takes game players to read ‘aggressive’ or ‘non-aggressive’ words from a list, can we be sure what they are actually measuring? The intent of the new Harvard Center on Media and Child Health to collect and standardize studies of media violence in order to compare their methodologies, assumptions and conclusions is an important step in the right direction.Another appropriate step would be to tone down the criticism until we know more. Several researchers write, speak and testify quite a lot on the threat posed by violence in the media. That is, of course, their privilege. But when doing so, they often come out with statements that the matter has now been settled, drawing criticism from colleagues. In response, the alarmists accuse critics and news reporters of being deceived by the entertainment industry. Such clashes help neither science nor society.51. Why is there so much violence shown in movies, TV and video games?A) There is a lot of violence in the real world today.B) Something has gone wrong with today’s society.C) Many people are fond of gunplay and bloodshed.D) Showing violence is thought to be entertaining.52. What is the skeptics (Line 3. Para. 3) view of media violence?A) Violence on television is a fairly accurate reflection of real-world life.B) Most studies exaggerate the effect of media violence on the viewers.C) A causal relationship exists between media and real-world violence.D) The influence of media violence on children has been underestimated.53. What does the underlined word “causality” mean (Line 3, Para. 3)?A) casualty B) objectivityC) the relationship between cause and effect D) liability54. The author uses the term “alarmists” (Line 1. Para. 5) to refer to those who________.A) use standardized measurements in the studies of media violenceB) initiated the debate over the influence of violent media on realityC) assert a direct link between violent media and aggressive behaviorD) use appropriate methodology in examining aggressive behavior55. In refuting the alarmists, the author advances his argument by first challenging________.A) the source and amount of their dataB) the targets of their observationC) their system of measurementD) their definition of violenceQuestions 56-60 refer to the passage below:Age has its privileges in America. And one of the more prominent of them is the senior citizen discount. Anyone who has reached a certain age—in some cases as low as 55—is automatically entitled to a dazzling array of price reductions at nearly every level of commercial life. Eligibility is determined not by one’s need but by the date on one’s birth certificate. Practicall y unheard of a generation ago, the discounts have become a routine part of many businesses—as common as color televisions in motel rooms and free coffee on airliners.People with gray hair often are given the discounts without even asking for them；yet, millions of Americans above age 60 are healthy and solvent. Businesses that would never dare offer discounts to college students or anyone under 30 freely offer them to older Americans. The practice is acceptable because of the widespread belief that “elderly” and “needy” are synonymous. Perhaps that once was true, but today elderly Americans as a group have a lower poverty rate than the rest of the population. To be sure, there is economic diversity within the elderly, and many older Americans are poor. But m ost of them aren’t.It is impossible to determine the impact of the discounts on individual companies. For many firms, they are a stimulus to revenue. But in other cases the discounts are given at the expense, directly or indirectly, of younger Americans. Moreover, they are a direct irritant in what some politicians and scholars see as a coming conflict between the generations.Generational tensions are being fueled by continuing debate over Social Security benefits, which mostly involves a transfer of resources from the young to the old. Employment is another sore point,Buoyed by laws and court decisions, more and more older Americans are declining the retirement dinner in favor of staying on the job-thereby lessening employment and promotion opportunities for younger workers.Far from a kind of charity they once were, senior citizen discounts have become a formidable economic privilege to a group with millions of members who don’t need them.It no longer makes sense to treat the elderly as a single group whose economic needs deserve priority over those of others. Senior citizen discounts only enhance the myth that older people can’t take care of themselves and need special treatment；and they threaten the creation of a new myth, that the elderly are ungrateful and taking for themselves at the expense of children and other age groups. Senior citizen discounts are the essence of the very thing older Americans are fighting against-discrimination by age.56. We learn from the first paragraph that ________.A) offering senior citizens discounts has become routine commercial practiceB) senior citizen discounts have enabled many old people to live a decent lifeC) giving senior citizens discounts has boosted the market for the elderlyD) senior citizens have to show their birth certificates to get a discount57. What assumption lies behind the practice of senior citizen discounts?A) Businesses, having made a lot of profits, should do something for society inreturn.B) Old people are entitled to special treatment for the contribution they made tosociety.C) The elderly, being financially underprivileged, need humane help fromsociety.D) Senior citizen discounts can make up for the inadequacy of the SocialSecurity system.58. What does the underlined word “s ynonymous” mean (Line 5, Para 2)?A) having different meanings B) having the same meaningC) opposite C) hostile59. According to some politicians and scholars, senior citizen discounts will________.A) make old people even more dependent on societyB) intensify conflicts between the young and the oldC) have adverse financial impact on business companiesD) bring a marked increase in the companies revenues60. Which of the following words can replace the underlined word “Buoyed” in thepassage (Line 3, Para 4)?A) Supported B) Opposed C) Abiding D) StandingIV.

Reading Comprehension (30%)There are 4 reading passages in this part. Please read them carefully and answer the 20 questions following these passages.Questions 41 to 45 refer to the passage below:I had an experience some years ago which taught me something about the ways in which people make a bad situation worse by blaming themselves. One January, I had to officiate at two funerals on successive days for two elderly women in my community. Both had died "full of years," as the Bible would say; both yielded to the normal wearing out of the body after a long and full life. Their homes happened to be near each other, so I paid condolence calls on the two families on the same afternoon.At the first home, the son of the deceased woman said to me, "If only I had sent my mother to Florida and gotten her out of this cold and snow, she would be alive today. It's my fault that she died." At the second home, the son of the other deceased woman said, "If only I hadn't insisted on my mother's going to Florida, she would be alive today. That long airplane ride, the abrupt change of climate, was more than she could take. It's my fault that she's dead."When things don't turn out as we would like them to, it is very tempting to assumethat had we done things differently, the story would have had a happier ending. Priests know that any time there is a death, the survivors will feel guilty. Because the course of action they took turned out badly, they believe that the opposite course - keeping Mother at home, postponing the operation - would have turned out better. After all, how could it have turned out any worse?There seem to be two elements involved in our readiness to feel guilt. The first is our pressing need to believe that the world makes sense, that there is a cause for every effect and a reason for everything that happens. That leads us to find patterns and connections both where they really exist and where they exist only in our minds.The second element is the notion that we are the cause of what happens, especially the bad things that happen. It seems to be a short step from believing that every event has a cause to believing that every disaster is our fault. The roots of this feeling may lie in our childhood. Psychologists speak of the infantile myth of omnipotence . A baby comes to think that the world exists to meet his needs, and that he makes everything happen in it. He wakes up in the morning and summons the rest of the world to its tasks. He cries, and someone comes to attend to him. When he is hungry, people feed him, and when he is wet, people change him. Very often, we do not completely outgrow that infantile notion that our wishes cause things to happen.41.What is said about the two deceased elderly women?A)They lived out a natural life.B)They died of exhaustion after the long plane ride.C)They weren't accustomed to the change in weather.D)They died due to lack of care by family members.42.The author had to conduct the two women's funerals probably because.A)he wanted to console the two familiesB)he was an official from the communityC)he had great sympathy for the deceased43.What does the underlined word “condolence“ mean (Line 6, Para. 1)?A) inquiry B) sympathy C) indifferent D) emergency44.People feel guilty for the deaths of their loved ones becauseA)they couldn't find a better way to express their griefB)they believe that they were responsibleC)they had neglected the natural course of eventsD)they didn't know things often turn out in the opposite direction 45. In the context of the passage, "... the world makes sense" (Line 2, Para, 4) probably means that.A)everything in the world is predeterminedB)the world can be interpreted in different waysC)there's an explanation for everything in the worldD)we have to be sensible in order to understand the worldQuestions 45-50 refer to the following passage:Throughout the nation's more than 15,000 school districts, widely differing approaches to teaching science and math have emerged. Though there can be strength in diversity, a new international analysis suggests that this variability has instead contributed to lackluster achievement scores by U.S. children relative to their peers in other developed countries.Indeed, concludes William H. Schmidt of Michigan State University, who led the new analysis, "no single intellectually coherent vision dominates U.S. educational practice in math or science.'' The reason, he said, "is because the system is deeply and fundamentally flawed."The new analysis, released this week by the National Science Foundation in Arlington, Va., is based on data collected from about 50 nations as part of the Third International Mathematics and Science Study.Not only do approaches to teaching science and math vary among individual U.S. communities, the report finds, but there appears to be little strategic focus within a school district,s curricula, its textbooks, or its teachers' activities. This contrasts sharply with the coordinated national programs of most other countries.On average, U.S. students study more topics within science and math than their international counterparts do. This creates an educational environment that "is a mile wide and an inch deep," Schmidt notes.For instance, eighth graders in the United States cover about 33 topics in math versus just 19 in Japan. Among science courses, the international gap is even wider. U.S.curricula for this age level resemble those of a small group of countries including Australia, Thailand, Iceland, and Bulgaria. Schmidt asks whether the United States wants to be classed with these nations, whose educational systems "share our pattern of splintered visions" but which are not economic leaders.The new report "couldn't come at a better time," says Gerald Wheeler, executive director of the National Science Teachers Association in Arlington. "The new National Science Education Standards provide that focused vision," including the call "to do less, but in greater depth."Implementing the new science standards and their math counterparts will be the challenge, he and Schmidt agree, because the decentralized responsibility for education in the United States requires that any reforms be tailored and instituted one community at a time.In fact, Schmidt argues, reforms such as these proposed national standards "face an almost impossible task, because even though they are intellectually coherent, each becomes only one more voice in the babble."46.What does the underlined word “lackluster” mean in the passage (Line 4, Para. 1)?A) unique B) distinguishing C)important D) common47.According to the passage, the teaching of science and math in America isA)focused on tapping students' potentialB)characterized by its diversityC)losing its vitality graduallyD)going downhill in recent years48.The fundamental flaw of American school education is that.A)it lacks a coordinated national programB)it sets a very low academic standard for studentsC)it relies heavily on the initiative of individual teachersD)it attaches too much importance to intensive study of school subjects49.By saying that the U.S. educational environment is "a mile wide and an inch deep" (Line2, Para. 5), the author means U.S. educational practice.A)lays stress on quality at the expense of quantityB)offers an environment for comprehensive educationC)encourages learning both in depth and in scopeD)scratches the surface of a wide range of topics50.The new National Science Education Standards are good news in that they willA)provide depth to school science educationB)solve most of the problems in school teachingC)be able to meet the demands of the communityD)quickly dominate U.S. educational practiceQuestions 51-55 refer to the passage that follows:There are good reasons to be troubled by the violence that spreads throughout the media. Movies, Television and video games are full of gunplay and bloodshed, and one might reasonably ask what,s wrong with a society that presents videos of domestic violence as entertainment.Most researchers agree that the causes of real-world violence are complex. A 1993 study by the U.S. National Academy of Sciences listed “biological, individual, family, peer, school, and community factors” as all playing their parts.Viewing abnormally large amounts of violent television and video games may well contribute to violent behavior in certain individuals. The trouble comes when researchers downplay uncertainties in their studies or overstate the case for causality. Skeptics were dismayed several years ago when a group of societies including the American Medical Association tried to end the debate by issuing a joint statement: “At this time, well over 1,000 studies... point overwhelming ly to a causal connection between media violence and aggressive behavio r in some children.”Freedom-of-speech advocates accused the societies of catering to politicians, and even disputed the number of studies (most were review articles and essays, they said). When Jonathan Freedman, a social psychologist at the University of Toronto, reviewed the literature, he found only 200 or so studies of television-watching and aggression. And when he weeded out “the most doubtful measures of aggression”, only 28% supported a connection.The critical point here is causality. The alarmists say they have proved that violent media cause aggression. But the assumptions behind their observations need to be examined. When labeling games as violent or non-violent, should a hero eating a ghost really be counted as a violent event? And when experimenters record the time it takes game players to read ‘aggressive, or ‘non -aggressive, words from a list, can we be sure what they are actually measuring? The intent of the new Harvard Center on Media and Child Health to collect and standardize studies of media violence in order to compare their methodologies, assumptions and conclusions is an important step in the right direction.Another appropriate step would be to tone down the criticism until we know more.Several researchers write, speak and testify quite a lot on the threat posed by violence in the media. That is, of course, their privilege. But when doing so, they often come out with statements that the matter has now been settled, drawing criticism from colleagues. In response, the alarmists accuse critics and news reporters of being deceived by the entertainment industry. Such clashes help neither science nor society.51.Why is there so much violence shown in movies, TV and video games?A)There is a lot of violence in the real world today.B)Something has gone wrong with today,s society.C)Many people are fond of gunplay and bloodshed.D)Showing violence is thought to be entertaining.52.What is the skeptics (Line 3. Para. 3) view of media violence?A)Violence on television is a fairly accurate reflection of real-world life.B)Most studies exaggerate the effect of media violence on the viewers.C) A causal relationship exists between media and real-world violence.D)The influence of media violence on children has been underestimated.53.What does the underlined word “causality“ mean (Line 3, Para. 3)?A) casualty B) objectivityC) the relationship between cause and effect D) liability54.The author uses the term “alarmists” (Line 1. Para. 5) to refer to those who.A)use standardized measurements in the studies of media violenceB)initiated the debate over the influence of violent media on realityC)assert a direct link between violent media and aggressive behaviorD)use appropriate methodology in examining aggressive behavior55.In refuting the alarmists, the author advances his argument by first challenging.A)the source and amount of their dataB)the targets of their observationC)their system of measurementD)their definition of violenceQuestions 56-60 refer to the passage below:Age has its privileges in America. And one of the more prominent of them is the senior citizen discount. Anyone who has reached a certain age —in some cases as low as 55—is automatically entitled to a dazzling array of price reductions at nearly every level of commercial life. Eligibility is determined not by one,s need but by the date on one,s birthcertificate. Practically unheard of a generation ago, the discounts have become a routine part of many businesses —as common as color televisions in motel rooms and free coffee on airliners.People with gray hair often are given the discounts without even asking for them；yet, millions of Americans above age 60 are healthy and solvent. Businesses that would never dare offer discounts to college students or anyone under 30 freely offer them to older Americans. The practice is acceptable because of the widespread belief that “elderly” and “needy” are synonymous. Perhaps that once was true, but today elderly Americans as a group have a lower poverty rate than the rest of the population. To be sure, there is economic diversity within the elderly, and many older Americans are poor. But most of them aren,t.It is impossible to determine the impact of the discounts on individual companies. For many firms, they are a stimulus to revenue. But in other cases the discounts are given at the expense, directly or indirectly, of younger Americans. Moreover, they are a direct irritant in what some politicians and scholars see as a coming conflict between the generations.Generational tensions are being fueled by continuing debate over Social Security benefits, which mostly involves a transfer of resources from the young to the old. Employment is another sore point, Buoyed by laws and court decisions, more and more older Americans are declining the retirement dinner in favor of staying on the job-thereby lessening employment and promotion opportunities for younger workers.Far from a kind of charity they once were, senior citizen discounts have become a formidable economic privilege to a group with millions of members who don,t need them.It no longer makes sense to treat the elderly as a single group whose economic needs deserve priority over those of others. Senior citizen discounts only enhance the myth that older people can,t take care of themselves and need special treatment；and they threaten the creation of a new myth, that the elderly are ungrateful and taking for themselves at the expense of children and other age groups. Senior citizen discounts are the essence of the very thing older Americans are fighting against-discrimination by age.56.We learn from the first paragraph that.A) offering senior citizens discounts has become routine commercial practice B) seniorcitizen discounts have enabled many old people to live a decent life C) giving senior citizens discounts has boosted the market for the elderlyD) senior citizens have to show their birth certificates to get a discount57.What assumption lies behind the practice of senior citizen discounts?A)Businesses, having made a lot of profits, should do something for society inreturn.B)Old people are entitled to special treatment for the contribution they made tosociety.C)The elderly, being financially underprivileged, need humane help from society.D)Senior citizen discounts can make up for the inadequacy of the Social Securitysystem.58.What does the underlined word “synonymous“ mean (Line 5, Para 2)?A) having different meanings B) having the same meaningC) opposite C) hostile59.According to some politicians and scholars, senior citizen discounts will .A)make old people even more dependent on societyB)intensify conflicts between the young and the oldC)have adverse financial impact on business companiesD)bring a marked increase in the companies revenues60.Which of the following words can replace the underlined word “Buoyed” in the passage(Line 3, Para 4)?A) Supported B) Opposed C) Abiding D) StandingIV.

2024广东成人学位英语考试真题及答案
2024广东成人学位英语考试真题及答案全文共6篇示例，供读者参考篇1The 2024 Guangdong Grown-up English TestHi everyone! My name is Xiaoming and I'm 8 years old. I went with my mom last week to take a big English test for grown-ups called the 2024 Guangdong Adult English Proficiency Exam. I'm just a kid, but I thought I could share what the test was like in case any of you little guys are curious!The test had four parts - listening, reading, writing, and speaking. We had to go to a school on a Saturday morning to take it. There were tons of adults there, which was kind of funny to see!For the listening part, we had to put on these big headphones and listen to recordings of people talking in English. The voices said things like "The book is on the table" or "I'm going to the park this afternoon." After each recording, there were multiple choice questions on the computer screen asking what we heard. It was sort of like the listening games we play at school, but a little harder.The reading part had different passages to read, like news articles or stories. We had to read them carefully and then answer comprehension questions about things like the main idea, what certain words meant, or specific details from the passages. Some of the vocabulary was pretty advanced for a kid like me!Next up was the writing section. This is where we had to actually type out answers to questions, instead of just clicking on multiple choice. One question asked us to describe our favorite holiday and what we like to do to celebrate it. Another one gave us a cartoon picture and we had to write a short story based on what we saw happening in the picture. The hard part was making sure our grammar, spelling, and sentence structures were all correct.Finally, there was the speaking part. This was probably the most nerve-wracking for me! We had to go one-by-one into a private room with a recording device. The computer gave us a question, and we had to speak our answer out loud in clear English within a certain time limit. The first question I got asked me to describe my hometown and interesting places to visit there. The second one showed me a picture of a family having a picnic, and I had to speak about what I saw happening in thepicture. I was so nervous to speak English in front of the examiner, but she was really nice!After we finished all four sections, we got to leave. My mom said we'll get our scores bachk in a few weeks to see if we passed or not. There was a lot of reading, writing, listening, and speaking involved...I'm just glad it's over!So that's what the big Guangdong English test was like from the eyes of an 8-year-old. It seemed pretty challenging, even for me after studying English for a few years now. I can't imagine how hard it must have been for all those adults! I'll leave the serious English tests to the grown-ups from now on. For now, it's back to study my ABCs and simple vocab words. Good luck to anyone taking the Guangdong exam next year!篇2My Big Adventure Taking the Adult English Exam!Hi friends! My name is Lily and I'm 9 years old. I just had the craziest experience that I can't wait to tell you all about. You'll never believe this, but I actually took the big adult English exam for Guangdong Province! Yes, the one that all the grown-ups have to pass to get their degrees. How did a kid like me end up taking such a huge test? Well, let me explain...It all started last week when my mom was studying for the exam. She's going back to university to get her master's degree, so she has to take this big English test first. She was reading her practice books out loud to get ready. I was playing nearby and couldn't help overhearing some of the questions. You know what? They didn't seem that hard to me at all! The reading passages were pretty interesting and the grammar questions were just like what I learn in school.So I went up to my mom and said "那个考试真的很难吗?我觉得我可以答对那些题目!" Which means "Is that test really so difficult? I think I can answer those questions!" Well, my mom just laughed and ruffled my hair. But I was serious! I really wanted to try taking the exam. I kept bugging her about it all week until finally she gave in.On exam day, my mom took me down to the testing center with her. The kind ladies at the front let me take a real exam booklet and bubble sheet, just like I was an adult candidate too! We had to be very quiet, of course. As soon as the exam started, I put my pencil to my bubble sheet and went to work.Let me share some of the questions with you - you'll see they weren't too bad! The first passage was about the history of the English language. It said English is a Germanic language thatoriginated from Anglo-Saxon settlers in Britain in the 5th century AD. But then it got heavily influenced by Norman French after the invasion in 1066. That's why English has so many words with French roots like "pork" and "curry." After reading that passage, I had to answer some comprehension questions like:"Which of the following regions did English originate from?A) The British Isles B) France C) Germany D) Scandinavia"Easy peasy - I bubbled in A) The British Isles!Then there was a grammar section testing things like subject-verb agreement, parallel structure, and modifying phrases. One question was:"Neither the actor _____ the director _____ available for interviews after the premiere.A) was ... were B) were ... was C) were ... were D) was ... was"I picked C because with "neither/nor" sentences, the verb has to agree with the closest subject. So if there are two singular subjects with "neither/nor", the verb must be plural! Nailed it.There were some fun reading passages too, like one about animated movies and another about wilderness exploration. The writers passage had us correcting some errors in a draft essay. We had to re-write some wordy sentences more concisely. For example:"Apples, which are a healthy fruit containing many vitamins and minerals, are a good source of fiber as well."Could be better written:"Apples, a healthy fruit rich in vitamins and minerals, are also a good fiber source."See, nothing too crazy! I was flying through this adult exam.Finally, there was a speaking section where we had to record ourselves responding to questions and giving opinions. One of the questions was:"Some people think social media contributes to depression and loneliness, especially in young people. Others feel social media enriches social connections. What is your perspective on the effects of social media? Provide relevant reasons and examples to support your view."Well of course I had to pick the pro-social media side! I talked about how sites like WhatsApp and WeChat allow me toeasily video chat with my cousins in America. And how fun photo apps like Snapchat let me get creative and goof around with silly filters. As long as you don't spend too much time on social media and you're aware of things like cyber-bullying, I think it's a great way to stay connected with friends.After what felt like no time at all, my exam was over! I was so proud of myself for doing such a grown-up thing. My mom said she was really impressed with my concentration and effort. While we waited for the scores, she bought me a celebratory ice cream cone. Yum!A few weeks later, our test results arrived in the mail. My mom passed with a high score - no surprise there, she studied so hard. But want to know the crazy part? I PASSED TOO! Yes, little old me got a more than high enough score to meet the English requirements for an adult university degree program. My parents were absolutely stunned. I'm officially certified as an adult-level English genius!篇32024 Guangdong Adult Degree English Exam - The Real Deal!Hi everyone! My name is Lily and I'm a 4th grader. My mom just took the big Guangdong Adult Degree English Exam last month and she told me all about it. It was a really important test for her to get her adult university degree. I thought I'd share what I know about the actual questions that were on the 2024 exam so you can get ready if you need to take it next year!The listening section was first. Mom said there were conversations between people talking about everyday things like going shopping, making plans, asking for directions and stuff like that. You had to listen really carefully and answer multiple choice questions about the main ideas and details they mentioned. There were also some longer listening passages about topics like environmental protection, space exploration, and famous inventors. For those, you had to listen and then answer questions testing if you understood the key points and supporting details.Next up was the reading section. That part had a bunch of different readings like articles from newspapers and magazines, advertisements, instructions, and excerpts from books. The readings were about all different subjects - history, science, business, culture, and more. Some of the passages were just one paragraph, but others were pretty long - a few pages even! Thequestions asked you to identify the main idea, draw conclusions, define vocabulary words based on context, and make inferences. Mom said you really had to read everything super carefully and double check the reference details.After the reading part, there were two writing tasks. For the first one, you had to read a short opinion article and write a response of around 200 words. You could agree or disagree with the opinion and give your own reasons and examples to support your view. The second writing was longer - a 400 word essay on a particular topic. Mom's prompt was "What qualities are most important for success in the modern world?" You had to give a clear introduction with your main idea, then write body paragraphs with details and examples explaining your points, and finish with a good conclusion tying everything together.Mom thought the hardest sections were probably the listening and writing parts because you really had to concentrate and organize your thoughts under time pressure. But she felt pretty prepared from doing lots of practice tests and essay writing ahead of time.Oh, and I can't forget about the grammar, vocabulary and language usage sections! There were fill-in-the-blank questions testing your knowledge of proper English grammar rules andvocabulary. You had to pick the right words to complete sentences and short paragraphs. There were also some discrete grammar questions where you had to identify errors in particular sentences.Whew, I know that was a lot of information! The exam definitely seemed really challenging overall. But Mom said as long as you reviewed the test formats, worked on your English skills across all areas, and stayed calm on exam day, it was manageable. She felt super accomplished when she finished it all.Well, I hope sharing the inside scoop on what was actually on the 2024 Guangdong exam helps give you an idea of what to expect. Just remember to study hard, do lots of practice, and believe in yourself! You've got this! Thanks for reading my article and let me know if you have any other questions!篇4The 2024 Guangdong Grown-Up English TestHi everyone! My name is Xiaoming and I'm 9 years old. My mom and dad had to take a really big English test called the "2024 Guangdong Adult English Proficiency Exam" and I helped them study for it. It was a super important test for grown-upswho need to prove they can speak and understand English well. I'm going to tell you all about the questions on the test and the right answers!Listening SectionThe first part was listening to recordings and answering questions about what you heard. There were conversations between people as well as lectures and talks. You had to listen really carefully!One conversation was between two friends making plans to go see a movie. The guy asked the girl what movie she wanted to see and she said she wanted to see the new superhero movie that just came out. But the guy said he would rather see a comedy instead. They ended up deciding to see the comedy.The question was: "What kind of movie did the friends finally agree to see?" And the right answer was: C) A comedyThere was also a lecture from a scientist talking about how clouds are formed. He explained that clouds are made up of billions of tiny drops of water vapor that have condensed from gas into liquid. He said that clouds form when the air becomes saturated and can't hold any more water vapor. Pretty interesting stuff!The question was: "According to the lecturer, what are clouds composed of?" And the correct answer was: B) Condensed water dropletsWriting SectionThe next part was writing tasks. One question asked you to read a short announcement about a town closing its public swimming pool for renovations. You had to write a letter to the parks department expressing your feelings and opinions about the pool closing.A good response mentioned being disappointed the pool was closing for a while, but understanding that the renovations were necessary to repair anything that was broken or outdated. It also could suggest ideas for temporary swimming locations while the pool was closed.Another writing task gave you an opinion question and you had to write a persuasive essay with reasons and examples supporting your view. The question was: "Some people believe that high school students should be required to complete volunteer work/community service as part of their graduation requirements. Do you agree or disagree with this stance?"A good essay took a clear position either agreeing or disagreeing with the requirement. If you agreed, you could talk about how volunteer work teaches good values, helps the community, and looks good for college applications. If you disagreed, you could discuss the burden of added requirements, questions over what counts as legitimate volunteering, and issues with forced unpaid labor.Speaking SectionThis section tested your ability to speak and have a conversation in English. Some questions asked you to look at a picture and describe what you saw happening. Others had you take a stance and explain your opinions on different topics.One question showed a picture of a busy city street crowded with cars, bikes, and pedestrians. To get a high score, you had to speak clearly in complete sentences, describing the modes of transportation, the scenery, the number of people, and what the overall vibe and activity level seemed to be.Another question was: "Some people believe that the best way to protect the environment is to raise prices and enact higher taxes on things that cause pollution and environmental damage. Others think there are more effective methods. What is your opinion on this issue?"You had to take one side and then explain your reasoning, using specific details and examples to back up your position. Either way, good responses laid out the arguments for their view in a logical, organized way while directly addressing counterpoints as well.Reading SectionThe reading section had lots of different passages to read - news articles, stories, descriptions of events, etc. Then you had to answer comprehension questions testing if you understood the main ideas, details, and vocabulary words from the readings.One passage was about the history and cultural traditions surrounding the Japanese art of origami (paper folding). After reading it, a question asked: "According to the passage, what is the most widely accepted origin story for the art of origami?"The four answer choices were:A) Origami began as a religious ritual in Japanese BuddhismB) Origami was invented in Japan to aid in the teaching of mathematicsC) The earliest known origami dates back to ceremonial practices in ShintoD) No one knows for sure how or why origami beganIf you read carefully, you would see that the correct answer is C) The earliest known origami dates back to ceremonial practices in Shinto.Whew, that was a tough test! My mom and dad were pretty nervous, but I helped them practice and prepare a lot. I'm not sure if they passed yet, but I think all the hard work we put in gave them a really good shot. Keeping my fingers crossed for them!Let me know if you have any other questions about the Guangdong grown-up English test. I tried to give you a good overview of what it was like, but I'm just a kid so I may have gotten some small details mixed up. Overall though, I hope this article gives you a general idea of the types of questions and tasks adults had to complete. Study hard and good luck on any upcoming English exams!篇5Hi everyone! My name is Lily and I'm a 3rd grader at Sunny Vista Elementary School. Today I want to tell you all about the 2024 Guangdong Adult Degree English Exam that my mom took last month. She studied sooooo hard for it!The exam is a really important test that adults take if they want to get a university degree but didn't go to college when they were younger. My mom left school after high school to start working, but she has always wanted to get her bachelor's degree. By passing this exam, she can finally get that degree she has dreamed about!The English part of the exam tests how well the adults can read, write, listen to, and speak English. My mom said it was super difficult, way harder than my English tests at school! There were different sections testing all the skills. Let me tell you about each part:ReadingIn the reading section, there were some really long passages that my mom had to read and then answer questions about the main ideas, details, vocabulary words, and inferences. She said some of the passages were about science topics she didn't know much about, so she had to use her reading strategies to try to figure out what they were saying. There were also shorter passages like advertisements or notices that had questions too.WritingFor the writing part, my mom had to write two essays - one giving her opinion and reasons, and another describing some pictures and telling a story about them. She said the hardest part was making sure her grammar was correct and that she included good transitions between her ideas. Writing a whole essay in English is really tough!ListeningOh boy, the listening section was a doozy! My mom had to listen to conversations between people, lectures, radio shows, and other audio recordings. Then she had to answer multiple choice questions testing if she understood the details, main ideas, speaker's purposes, and implied meanings. The recordings weren't slowed down at all, so she really had to concentrate to understand everything.SpeakingFinally, there was a speaking section where my mom had to record herself giving spoken responses. For some questions, she had to look at a picture and describe what she saw. For others, she had to pretend to have a conversation and give responses. She even had to read a passage out loud and speak clearly. My mom practiced speaking English with me a lot to get ready for this part!After the exam, my mom felt sooo relieved that it was over. She said it was one of the most challenging things she has ever done. A couple of weeks later, she got her score results back...and she passed We were all so proud of her for accomplishing this huge goal.So those were the different parts that made up this important English exam. It covered all the skills that adults need to communicate effectively in English for jobs, school, travel and more. My mom is already making plans to finally start her university degree program next semester. All her hard work paid off!I hope sharing details about my mom's experience with the Guangdong Adult Degree English Exam was interesting and helpful. Even though I'm just a kid, I have a new appreciation for how difficult it is to master another language after hearing about this crazy difficult test! Let me know if you have any other questions.篇6The 2024 Guangdong Adult Degree English Exam: A Kid's PerspectiveHey there, fellow kids! I know what you're thinking, "Why is a kid talking about an adult degree exam?" Well, let me tell you, this exam is way more exciting than it sounds! It's like a big puzzle that all the grown-ups have to solve, and I got a sneak peek at the questions and answers. Get ready for some serious fun!Question 1: What's the difference between a verb and a noun?Oh, man, this one's a classic! A verb is an action word, like "jump" or "dance." A noun is a person, place, or thing, like "kid" or "playground." Easy-peasy, right? But don't worry, adults, it gets trickier from here!Question 2: Translate the following sentence into English: "我昨天去了公园玩。

But it turns out there's this really important test called the Guangdong Adult Higher Education Examination that grown-ups have to take if they want to get a bachelor's degree. Wild, right?My mom is actually going to be taking this test soon. She's been studying like crazy! I see her up at night with her nose in these huge books filled with tiny words I can barely read. And she's always doing practice questions and taking mock tests. It looks super hard.The test has all the regular subjects you'd expect - Chinese, math, politics. But the part my mom seems most worried about is the English section. English is a crazy language with all those funny squiggles for letters. I don't know how anyone can keep it all straight!From what I understand, the English part of the test checks if you can read, write, listen to and speak English properly. It covers grammar, vocabulary, reading comprehension, writing, translation, and even listening and speaking skills. Phew, that's a lot!For the reading part, you have to read all these long passages and answer questions about the main ideas, details, inferences and stuff. The passages can be about anything from science to history to culture. My mom showed me one about the environmental benefits of recycling. It looked so boring!Then there's the writing section where you have to write an essay or article about a certain topic. Last week my mom wrote a practice essay arguing whether technology has been good or bad for society. She kept banging her head on the table - it looked really hard to organize all her thoughts in proper English.I feel bad for her having to memorize so much vocabulary too. She has these huge lists of words she keeps drilling into her head about economics, trade, technology and all kinds of other topics. Whenever I interrupt her studying, she quizzes me: "What's the English word for this? How about that?" I never know the answers!For the listening part, you have to listen to recordings and conversations篇2The Big Grown-Up Test for UniversityHi everyone! Today I want to tell you all about a really big important test that happens in Guangdong called the Adult Higher Education Examination. It's a huge deal for lots of adults who want to go to university and get a bachelor's degree. I know it sounds super boring to take a test when you're already a grown-up, but I think it's really cool that adults keep learning new things!My mom's friend Linda is going to take this test soon. She's been studying like crazy! Linda works at a shop during the day, but every night after dinner she sits at the table with a huge stack of books and her notebook. Sometimes she looks really stresse篇3My Grandpa Takes a Big Important TestMy grandpa is a really smart guy. He knows tons of stuff about science, history, and all kinds of other things. But even though he's so smart, he never got to finish his universityeducation when he was younger. Back in those days, my grandpa's family didn't have much money, so he had to leave school and start working after he graduated from high school.For a long time, not having a university degree didn't really bother my grandpa too much. He got a good job and worked really hard. He saved up his money, got married to my grandma, and they had my mom and uncle. But then a few years ago, he started feeling like he was missing out on something by never finishing university. He said he wished he could get a proper bachelor's degree to prove to himself that he's just as smart as anyone with a university education.That's when my grandpa found out about this really cool thing called the Guangdong Adult Higher Education Examination. It's a special test that grown-ups in Guangdong province can take if they want to get a bachelor's degree from a university, but they didn't get to go to university when they were young. How neat is that?My grandpa was really excited when he learned about this test. He started studying like crazy, reading tons of big thick books about all kinds of subjects - math, science, English, history, you name it. Sometimes I'd come over to his house after school, and he'd be sitting at the kitchen table with papers and booksspread out everywhere. "Grandpa, watcha doing?" I'd ask. "Just studying for my big test," he'd say with a big proud smile.The test was broken up into two main parts. The first part was a bunch of multiple choice questions covering all the basic subjects. My grandpa had to learn everything a university student would learn, like advanced math, literature, economics, philosophy, and more. Just thinking about having to know that much stuff makes my head spin! But my grandpa has a really great memory. He would make flashcards or draw diagrams to help himself remember everything.The second part of the test was writing a huge research paper of at least 8,000 words! Can you imagine having to write something that long? My hands would probably fall off. My grandpa picked a topic that he was really interested in - the history of aerospace engineering in China. He spent months reading every book and article he could find on that subject. Then he had to plan out his entire paper, make an outline, and start writing draft after draft until his paper was perfect.Finally, after over a year of extremely hard work and studying, the day of the big test arrived. My grandpa looked nervous but confident as he gathered up his admission ticket, pencils, calculator, and all his notes. We wished him good luck as heheaded out the door. The test took place over two whole days at a university in Guangzhou. My grandpa said there were so many other adults there taking the test too, it looked like a huge classroom of students. Except these were all grown-up students, not kids!Those two days of testing were probably the hardest my grandpa has ever worked in his whole life. When he finally finished on that second day, he looked exhausted but extremely relieved. He said attempting that test made his brain feel like an overworked muscle that had just run a marathon. But at least it was over!Then came the longest wait of all - for his test results to finally arrive a couple of months later. When that big envelope finally came in the mail, my grandpa's hands were shaking as he opened it. He anxiously looked over his scores...and broke into the biggest smile ever! He had passed the test! After all of that incredibly hard work and perseverance, my grandpa would finally be receiving his bachelor's degree from a respected university.The graduation ceremony was one of the proudest days of my grandpa's life. As he walked across the stage in his cap and gown, receiving his diploma, everyone in our whole family wascheering louder than anyone. We were all so amazed by his incredible dedication and achievement. My grandpa had accomplished something that so few adults are able to do after missing out on university at a younger age.These days, my grandpa likes telling anyone who will listen about his experience taking the Guangdong Adult Higher Education test. "You're never too old to learn and challenge yourself," he'll say. "If you're willing to work hard enough, you can do anything you set your mind to, no matter what obstacles are in your way." Whenever he tells that story, I feel so inspired by how smart, determined, and hardworking my grandpa is. I hope that if I ever decide to pursue a dream like that someday, I can have even half as much perseverance and passion as he did. My grandpa proved that you're never too old to follow your goals and get a great education. I'm so proud of him!篇4The Big Grown-Up English TestHi there! My name is Xiaoming and I'm 8 years old. My auntie just took this really important English test for grown-ups called the Guangdong Adult Higher Education Examination. She studied so hard for it! I wanted to tell you all about it.Auntie said the test was super duper long and difficult. It had listening, reading, writing, and speaking sections just like the tests I take at school, but much much harder. The listening part had conversations, news reports, lectures and all kinds of other audio recordings that she篇5My Big Adventure with the Grown-Up TestHi there! My name is Lulu, and I'm 8 years old. I know what you're thinking – why is a little kid like me writing about a big grown-up test? Well, let me tell you all about my exciting adventure!A few weeks ago, my dad told me that he had to take something called the "Guangdong Adult Higher Education Examination for a Bachelor's Degree." That's a really long name, but he said it was a very important test for grown-ups who want to go back to school and get a university degree. He was going to have to study super hard for it, especially for the English part.Now, you probably know that English is my favorite subject in school. I love learning new words and reading cool stories from other countries. So when Dad said he needed to practicehis English for this big test, I got really excited! I asked him if I could help, and he said sure, as long as I promise篇6My Big Sister's Big TestWow, you'll never believe what happened last week! My big sister Jessica took this huge test called the Guangdong Adult Higher Education Bachelor's Degree Examination. It's a really important English test for grown-ups who want to get a university degree. I'm just a kid, but I thought it sounded super hard!Jessica has been studying forever for this test. She's 25 years old and works at a bank during the day. But every night after work and on weekends, she's always reading her big English books and doing practice tests. Sometimes I try to read over her shoulder, but a lot of the words are too difficult for me. There's tons of long vocabulary words I've never heard before!A few months ago, Jessica let me look through one of her practice test books. The reading passages were really long and complicated, with all kinds of big academic words. The questions were super tricky too, asking you to infer things and analyze the author's tone. No way could I answer any of those questionscorrectly! I remember thinking how lucky I am that my English tests at school are still pretty simple.But the part that looked the hardest by far was the writing section. Jessica showed me some sample essay prompts, and they were insanely difficult. Like, one of them asked you to discuss the impact of globalization on local cultures and traditions. Are you kidding me?! I can barely write a simple book report, never mind an essay analyzing something that complex. Jessica just laughed at how overwhelmed I looked.The weeks leading up to the test day, Jessica was getting really stressed out. She said she felt super underprepared, even after studying so hard. I felt really bad for her. A few nights before the test, she was up past midnight going over practice materials. The next morning, I made her my famous "Good Luck!" construction paper card to cheer her up. I drew a big smiley face on the front and wrote "You're gonna crush it, Jess!" inside. She gave me the biggest hug when she saw it.Finally, test day arrived this past Saturday. Jessica had to wake up at 5am and didn't get home until 6pm that night! The test was 5 hours long in the morning, then there was a break for lunch, and another 3 hour test session in the afternoon. That's somuch time to have to concentrate and read and write in English. My head was spinning just thinking about it!When Jessica got home, she looked exhausted. I asked her tons of questions about the test, like:"Was the reading section as hard as you thought?""Did you run out of time for the essay?""What was the hardest vocabulary word you had to know?"She just smiled and said, "It was really, really difficult. But I felt prepared and tried my best. Now we just have to wait for the results."For the next few weeks, Jessica kept saying she had no idea how she did on the test. She seemed really nervous about getting her score back. I wished there was something I could do to make her feel better, but I knew this was a huge deal that was way over my head.Then finally, the scores were released online last week. Jessica sat me down and told me she got......A PASSING SCORE She did it We both started jumping up and down and cheering. Jessica said this means she earned enough credits to get her bachelor's degree soon. After all thoseyears of studying so hard, she had finally achieved her dream. I gave her a million hugs and told her how proud I am of her. She said my silly good luck card before the test helped motivate her to keep pushing through.I'm still just a little kid, so I can't really understand how brilliant and determined my big sister is to accomplish something this huge. But I do know that the Guangdong Adult Higher Education Bachelor's Degree Examination is an incredibly difficult English test, and Jessica totally crushed it. Someday, when I'm older, maybe I'll be able to take a test like that too. But for now, I'm just happy giving Jessica a big high five and lots of congratulations hugs!She's the best big sis ever, and I'm so proud of her for passing her big grown-up English test. Way to go, Jess!。

Enhances Cognitive Function: Regular exercise has been shown to improve cognitive function, including memory, attention, and processing speed. This can be particularly beneficial for older adults who may experience cognitive decline.4. Promotes Better Sleep: Exercise can help you fall asleep faster and deepen your sleep.

Preliminary（初步的）reports from the city's Economic Development Corporation show that on Saturday, the first day of the tax exemption（免税）initiative, sales were "significantly higher” than for a typical January Saturday , according to the mayor's office.Because of the success, Giuliani told shoppers at Queens Centre Mall yesterday that he will go back to the State Legislature in Albany and ask to decrease the sale tax by half starting Dec. 1, just in time for holiday shopping season. He said that he hopes to eliminate the 8.25 percent tax in a year or two.The mayor also said that he would he would make the case for another week of tax-free shopping for clothes and shoes before Dec. 1, possibly right before students return to school.Giuliani encouraged shoppers t o do their part in making the tax exemption permanent. “I need you to shop till they drop the tax,” Giuliani told the dozens who cheered him at the mail.

The total number of businesses in New York City is 190,000.（IF确答案）（C）On the surface, one would assume that the major industrialized countries--- the United States, Germany, and Japan would be leading the way in information technology. But while this is generally true, a surprising upstart（Nokia Corp.）in a relatively remote part of the world（Finland）, is at the forefront of today's emerging globalcommunication network.. Ironically, conditions in Finland actually provide a unique catalyst（催化剂）for the Nokia success story. Many parts of the Finnish landscapes are heavily forested, and vast regions of the country are sparsely populated. Creating, maintaining, and updating wired landbasedcommunication networks is difficult and extremely expensive. But wireless digital systems are a relative bargain. As a result, conditions were perfect for an astute （机敏的），forward-looking company like Nokia to strike gold.Nokia was formed in 1865 by Fredrik Ides tam, a Finnish engineer. The company's early success is quite consistent（—致的）with the theory of comparative advantage. Ides tarn's young company set up shop on the Nokia River in Finland to manufacture pulp and paper, using the area's lush forests as raw material. Nokia flourished in anonymity（无名）for about a century, focusing exclusively on its domestic market.In the 1960s, however, management decided to expand regionally. In 1967, with the government's encouragement, Nokia took over two state-owned firms, Finnish Rubber Works and Finnish Cable works. But it was in 1981 that an important event dramatically altered Nokia's destiny: Because it had done so well with the Rubber and Cable operations, the Finnish government offered to sell Nokia 51-percent ownership of the state-owned Finnish Telecommunication Co.Because Nokia had already been developing competences in digital technologies, the firm seized the opportunity and started pushing aggressively into a variety of telecommunications business. For example, Nokia created Europe's first digital telephone in 1982. A series of other acquisitions（收购）and partnerships subsequently propelled Nokia into the number -one position in the global market share for mobile telephones. Today, the firm commands a 27-percent market share in cellular telephones, comfortably ahead of second-place Motorola's 17 percent.But Nokia hasn't been content to rest on is success. To the contrary, the company continues to expand into new and emerging markets. Foremost among these is technology for providing cellular phones with reliable and affordable Web content. Nokia was first out of the gate in this area and quickly established its ow innovation, WAP （an acronym for wireless application protocol）, as the likely standard that other firms will have little choice but to license for their own use.71.Whafs the passage mainly about?［单项选择题］*Who established Nokia.B.Finland, Nokia's head quarters.C.Introduction to Nokia.（正确答案）D.Nokia and Finland Cable Works.72.All of the following explain the success of Nokia except ____ .［单项选择题］*A.VAST AREAS OF Finland are not densely populated.B.many parts of Finnish landscape are covered with forests.C.Finland is one of the industrialized countries in the world.正确答案）D.it is difficult and expensive to use wired land-based communication networks in Finland.73.Which of the following is NOT true of Nokia?［单项选择题］*A.Nokia used to manufacture pulp and paper.B.Nokia was named after Nokia River.；正确答案）C.Nokia centered on domestic business in the first hundred years.D.It was in the 1980s that Nokia began to do telecommunication business.74.A series of other acquisitions and partnerships subsequently propelled Nokia into the Number-one position in the global market for mobile telephones. The underlined world in the sentence by be replaced by ________ .［单项选择题］*A.drovel正确答案）B.preventedC.turnedD.built75.What can not be learned from the passage?［单项选择题］*A.Nokia started as a privately-owned company.B.Europe's first digital telephone network was created by Nokia.C.Nokia was the first to provide cellular phones with reliable and affordable Web content.D.Motorola will soon catch up with Nokia in the market share in cellular phones. 王确答案）（D）The two partners of Smith and Jones, a medium-sized women's specialty store in Brookline Oregon（pop. 250,000）, were having their annual after-Christmas heart-to-heart talk about the direction of their store. They had just completed best year ever. The bank balance was high, and the two men were looking forwardoptimistically to more prosperous years.Bill Jones said to his partner, Phil Smith, "We seem to be doing everything right. Our customers have been loyal to us these past 15 years, there is no competition around that can touch us, we have the best location in the area, and the best reputation. I think we can look forward to another year of the same formula--- hard work, careful planning, intelligent merchandising, and good employee practices. We've got a real winner." Smith was less optimistic. "You know, Bill, the population of Brookline is growing. I just heard a big high-tech firm is planning to open a plant near here, and that good processor in Eugene is planning to consolidate （加强）operations here. That's going to bring a lot more people to this area, and I wouldn't be surprised if before long some shopping-centre developer discovers our area. We've had it pretty easy all these years, and I hate to see us get too complacent（自满的）and then have to give business away to a competitor. Our customers are getting older, and we're not doing anything much to attract younger people. Our customer profile is between 36 and 51.1 suggest we give some serious thought to attracting younger women, so we'll be prepared when the completion comes. ” Jones said, “ Why play with a successful formula? Our Misses departments Produce 60 % of profits. If we try to expand our junior business, we'll get killed. We don't understand that business, and if we start in with loud music and gaudy displays, we'll drive our loyal customers away.”“Bill, don't be an ostrich（回避现实的人）.We could easily take part of the store and wall it off, maybe even break through a separate entrance. Those old ladies won't even knowthere's anything else going on. If we don't, I guarantee you that our population will age as the market is increasing, and we5ll lose out." 76- What's the passage mainly talking about?［单项选择题］*A.Two partners.B.A medium-sized women's specialty store.C.Two partner's ideas of their future business.三确答案）D.Looking forward optimistically to the future.77. Which of the following can be learned from the passage?［单项选择题］*A.Bill Jones and Phillip Smith have owned the specialty store for more than 15 years.B.The store has the advantages of good location and reputation over other stores in the area.（正确答案）C.The store's success has resulted from loyal employees and intelligent managementD.Bill and Smith's store can stand any competition78-Phil seemed worried about their future business because ________ .［单项选择题］*A.the population of Brookline is growing.B.a big high-tech firm is planning to open a plant in the area.C.with the growth of population and more investment in the area, they would be faced with more competition（正确答案）D.he realized that they were getting complacent.79.The sentence "We'll get killed” is closest in meaning to _________ .［单项选择题1 *A.“ We'll be killed by others,,B.“We'll fail in our business”（正确答案）C."Our lives will be in danger"D.“We'll be sentenced to death”80.We may conclude from the passage that ______ .［单项选择题］A.Bill and Phil's customers were women of all ages.B.Phil seemed more far-seeing than Bill. IE确答案）C.Bill is more experienced in business than Phil.D.Bill and Phil are going to expand their business soon.。

On Midsummer's Eve，which was a Saturday，Mr. Jones went into Willing ton and got so drunk at the Red Lion that he did not come back until midday on Sunday. His men had milked the cows in the early morning and then had gone out chatting without bothering to feed the animals. When Mr. Jones got back，he immediately went to sleep on the living-room sofa with the "News of the World" over his face. When evening came，the animals werestill not fed. At last，they could stand no longer. One of the cows broke into the door of the storehouse with her horns and all the animals began to help themselves to the grains.It was just then that Mr. Jones woke up. The next moment he and his four men were in the storehouse with whips in their hands，whipping in all directions. This was more than the hungry animals would bear.Together，though nothing of the kind had been planned beforehand，they jumped upon their masters. Mr. Jones and his men suddenly found themselves being struck with the horns and kicked from all sides. The situation was quite out of their control. They had never seen these animals act like this before. This sudden rebellion of the creatures，which they were used to beating and whipping just as they chose，frightened them. After only a moment or two，they gave up trying to defend themselves. A minute later all five of them were in full fright down the road with the animals running after them joyfully.1.The four men did not feed the cows because_______.Athey had not cut the hay yetBMr. Jones wasn't at homeCthey did not have time to feed themDthe cows had fed themselves2.The cows broke into the storehouse because______.Athey did not like their mastersBMr. Jones forgot to lock the doorCthey were kept in the cow-house too longDthey were too hungry to wait for the feed3.What did the five men finally do with the cows?AThey chased and drove the cows away.BThey continued beating the cows.CThey gave up defense and ran away.DThey gave ·in and fed the cows.4.We can learn from the passage that______.Athe cows often ran out to look for foodBthe cows often had fights with their mastersCMr. Jones and his men often beat the cowsDMr. Jones and his men often forgot to feed the cowsPassage TwoIt was sunrise on an August morning when the captain and his crew cast their nets some 50 miles south of Louisiana in the Gulf of Mexico. As the net was pulled over，the contents poured out followed by excited cries of "Coins！Coins!" The fishermen quickly realized they had realized a fisherman's dream：sunken treasure！And not just any treasure，but early American silver dollars that had gone down 210 years earlier.In 1784，at the end of the American Revolutionary War，a heavily armed ship was bound for the port of New Orleans. On board was a fortune in Spanish Silver Dollars. Hundreds of thousands of them were loaded for the trip to New Orleans，yet not a single one arrived. With no survivors from the ill-fated voyage，historians can only guess at what happened. Some say powerful storms took her down while others speculate it was treasure-hungry pirates(海盗). Whatever happened，the secret-along with a treasure valued near $100，000,000 in today' s dollars-was sent to a watery grave some 300 feet below the ocean's surface.Spanish Silver Dollars were the favorite coins of colonial Americans. Widely used and accepted as payment in the thirteen colonies，the United States government gave them the status of official legal tender. Unfortunately，even though they were struck in large quantities，not many of them survive today. After the Civil War，the government withdrew them from circulation and they were melted down.Due to the historic discovery of this treasure，Gov Mint . com is releasing these coins to the public for an amazingly low price. For a limited time，thoseauthentic silver dollars are priced at $49 plus shipping and handling—a dramatic reduction from the market price of this coin anywhere else worldwide.5.What surprised the fishermen on an August morning?ATheir net contained a big strange-looking fish.BThey found the treasure sunken 210 years ago.CThey found some pieces of a sunken ship in the net.DTheir net suddenly got caught by something deep in the water.6.What happened to the ship heading for New Orleans in 1784?ALoaded with too much cargo，it hit on the rocks.BRobbed by pirates ，it lost $100,000,000's worth of goods.CIt disappeared but nobody knew exactly what had happened.DIt was caught in a terrible storm and went down into the ocean.7.What do we know about "Spanish Silver Dollars"?AToday one coin equals to 49 dollars in the world market.BThey were widely used in America after the Civil War.CIssued in small amounts，not many of them survive.DThey were officially accepted in the 13 colonies.8.In which section of a magazine would you probably find this article?ASports.BHousing.CHistory.DFashion.Passage ThreeThe environment affects the way people interact. To examine this conclusion，two researchers "decorated" three rooms：One room was refurnished to look ugly. The second room was intended to look average. The third room was designed to be beautiful.Individuals were then asked to sit in one of the three rooms and rate several pictures of people's faces. The results indicated that the environment has a significant effect on the way people rated the faces. Subjects in the beautiful room gave the pictures higher rates than did subjects in the ugly room. In addition，subjects in the ugly room found the task more unpleasant and boring than did subjects in the beautiful room. Subjects assigned to the ugly room attempted to leave sooner than did subjects assigned to the beautiful room.Color is one environmental factor that can affect your mood and even your ability to concentrate. One researcher concluded that the most pleasant colors，listed in order of preference，were blue，green，purple，red and yellow. The colors listed from most to least arousing were red，orange，yellow，violet，blue，andgreen. Lighting also affects behavior. Elegant restaurants with dim lighting create a mood of intimacy（密切）that encourages conversation. The bright lights of an office or classroom，on the other hand，arouse and stimulate thinking.Room decoration，color，lighting，and even music and temperature all influence communication with others；but there is no all-purpose environment. The ideal environment depends on the task that will be performed as well as on the needs and expectations of those present. The same environmental factors that encourage lively conversation and dancing at a New Year's Eve party cannot be expected to create a serene climate in which to study for final exams.9.Paragraph 1 shows that subjects in the ugly room tend to be______.Aless patientBless considerateCmore enthusiasticDmore confident10.Which color is the most helpful for keeping a good mood?AGreen.BBlue.COrange.DRed.11.Which color is the most helpful for keeping a good mood?AGreen.BBlue.COrange.DRed.12.What effect can dim lights of an eating environment bring about?AArousing active thinking.BImproving work efficiency.CCreating a tense atmosphereDStimulating talks among people.13. The underlined word "serene" in the last sentence is closest in meaning to______.Aserious and graveBcalm and peacefulCpleasant and friendlyDcold and indifferentPassage FourThere is nothing more possible than a new hip or knee that can put the spring back in your step. Patients receiving joint implants(移植)often are able to resume many of the physical activities they love，even those as vigorous as tennis and hiking. No wonder，then，that joint replacement is growing in popularity.In the United States in ，surgeons performed about 806，000 hip and knee implants (the joints most commonly replaced)，double the number performed a decade earlier. Though these procedures have become routine，they are not failure free.Implants must sometimes be replaced，said Dr. Henrik Malchau ，an or thopaedic surgeon (矫形外科医生) at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. A study published in found that 7 percent of hips implanted in Medicare patients had to be replaced within seven and a half years.The percentage may sound low，but the finding suggests that thousands of hip patients eventually require a second operation，said Dr. Malchau. Those patients must endure additional recoveries，often painful，and increased medical expenses.The failure rate should be lower，many experts-agree. Sweden，for instance，has a failure rate estimated to be a third of that in the United States. Sweden also has a national joint replacement registry，a database of information from which surgeons can learn how and why certain procedures go wrong. A registry also helps surgeons learn quickly whether a specific type of implant is particularly problematic. "Every country that has developed a registry has been able to reduce failure rates Significantly," said Dr. Daniel Berry，chief of orthopaedic surgery at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester，Minn.A newly formed American Joint Replacement Registry will begin gathering data from hospitals in the next 12 to 18 months. It's good news for those who are considering replacing a knee or hip.14.What is the problem with hip or knee replacements in the U. S. ?AA lot of patients need a second operation.BDoctors are not well trained to ensure successful operations.CDemands for hip replacement exceed the number of surgeons.DReplacement operation is becoming too expensive in U. S. hospitals.15.Why does Sweden have a lower rate of hip implant failure?ASweden has more advanced technology.BSweden has a patient data collecting system.CSweden has a much larger number of patients.DSwedish doctors are more responsible and skilful.16.Why does Sweden have a lower rate of hip implant failure?ASweden has more advanced technology.BSweden has a patient data collecting system.CSweden has a much larger number of patients.DSwedish doctors are more responsible and skilful.17.The U. S. is trying to reduce joint replacement failure rate by_____..Astrictly controlling the number of replacement operationsBasking hospitals to follow up each case for 12 -18 monthsCsetting up a national joins replacement databaseDsending doctors to be trained in Sweden18.People who need a new knee or hip would possibly feel_____. about data gathering in the U. S.AindifferentBassuredCpuzzledDhopefulPassage FiveThe Saturday Evening Post "became symbolic of the reading fare of middle-class America". In 1897 Curtis began to revive (重振) the Post on the proposition that a man's chief interest in life is the fight for .livelihood-business. Fiction and articles about romantic business and successful businessmen filled its pages，and products backed by .its advertisements directed at the needs and desires of the business world. The general interest weekly reached new audiences. Its conservative viewpoint and strong admiration for material success appealed to the tastes of the millions who settled in an easy chair with it each Thursday evening. As a more commercial，mass-circulation magazine than The New Yorker，the widely readable Post set out to interpret America to itself.As a national and international institution，The Saturday Evening Post made its mark in the lives of massive numbers of men and women，and served society as a stabilizing influence. Its editorial matter addressed the problems and interests of the readers as never before. Neither highbrow nor lowbrow，the Post set out to interpret average middle-class America，for that was its audience. However，this magazine lost touch with the mood of the American people in the 1930s. The Post's editor Lorimer，opposed Roosevelt and the New Deal and changed his magazine from an organ of entertainment and enlightenment into a weapon of political warfare. He believed that in opposing the New Deal he had spoken for the majority of voters，but the 1936 election proved him wrong. His conservatism extended beyond politics，it dominated the magazine’s content and style causing a decline in reputation and authority. The Post met its greatest success when it went beyond the tastes of the masses，challenging its readers to acknowledge the genius of contributors such as F. Scott Fitzgerald and William Faulkner. It was later reformed in an effort to fulfill its responsibility to awaken lethargic（昏昏欲睡）America，however，The Saturday Evening Post seemed to play to conventions while The New Yorker took off to redefine the character of American Humor.19.According to Paragraph 1，who are primarily the readers of the Post?ABusinessmen.BCollege students.CHousewives.DPoliticians.20.What is the earliest time that readers can read the Post every week？AMonday.BThursday.CSaturday.DSunday.21.Why did the Post lose much of its audience in the 1930's?AIt changed its original style and was heavily involved in politics.BReaders couldn't afford a newspaper because of the Depression.CThe new editor was not interested in Roosevelt's politics.DIt failed to absorb sufficient advertisements.22.What makes the Post so commercially successful?APresenting American style humor.BSticking to the tastes of the middle class.CCarrying articles and novels by local writers.DStaying in close contact with the business world5、Daily Conversation1.Directions：Pick out appropriate expressions from the eight choices below and complete the following dialogues by blackening the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Sarah：Hello.

Unfortunately, there are in fact 28 books like this, 29 the problem of finding the right bedtime story is not 30 to solve.This may be why many of books regarded as 31 of children's literature were in fact written for32. “Alice,s Adventure in Wonderland” is perhap33toifethi ost Children, left for themselves, often 34 the worst possible interest in literature. Just leave a child in bookshop or 35 and he will 36 willingly choose the books written in an imaginative way，or have a look at most children's comics, full of the stories and jokes which are the 37 of teachers and right-thinking parents.Perhaps we parents should stop trying to brainwash children into 38 our taste in literature. After all children and adults are so 39 that we parents should not expect that they will enjoy the 40 books.

Reading Comprehension (20%)There are 4 reading passages in this part. Read them and answer the 25 questions following these passages.Questions 41 to 45 refer to the passage below:I had an experience some years ago which taught me something about the ways in which people make a bad situation worse by blaming themselves. One January, I had to officiate at two funerals on successive days for two elderly women in my community. Both had died "full of years," as the Bible would say; both yielded to the normal wearing out of the body after a long and full life. Their homes happened to be near each other, so I paid condolencecalls on the two families on the same afternoon.At the first home, the son of the deceased woman said to me, "If only I had sent my mother to Florida and gotten her out of this cold and snow, she would be alive today. It's my fault that she died." At the second home, the son of the other deceased woman said, "If only I hadn't insisted on my mother's going to Florida, she would be alive today. That long airplane ride, the abrupt change of climate, was more than she could take. It's my fault that she's dead."When things don't turn out as we would like them to, it is very tempting to assume that had we done things differently, the story would have had a happier ending. Priests knowthat any time there is a death, the survivors will feel guilty. Because the course ofaction they took turned out badly, they believe that the opposite course - keeping Motherat home, postponing the operation - would have turned out better. After all, how could it have turned out any worse?There seem to be two elements involved in our readiness to feel guilt. The first is our pressing need to believe that the world makes sense, that there is a cause for every effect and a reason for everything that happens. That leads us to find patterns and connections both where they really exist and where they exist only in our minds.The second element is the notion that we are the cause of what happens, especially the bad things that happen. It seems to be a short step from believing that every event has a cause to believing that every disaster is our fault. The roots of this feeling may lie in our childhood. Psychologists speak of the infantile myth of omnipotence . A baby comes to think that the world exists to meet his needs, and that he makes everything happen in it. He wakes up in the morning and summons the rest of the world to its tasks. He cries, and someone comes to attend to him. When he is hungry, people feed him, and when he is wet, people change him. Very often, we do not completely outgrow that infantile notion that our wishes cause things to happen.41.What is said about the two deceased elderly women?A)They lived out a natural life.B)They died of exhaustion after the long plane ride.C)They weren't accustomed to the change in weather.D)They died due to lack of care by family members.42.The author had to conduct the two women's funerals probably because.A)he wanted to console the two familiesB)he was an official from the communityC)he had great sympathy for the deceasedD)he was priest of the local church43.What does the underlined word “condolence“ mean (Line 6, Para. 1)?A) inquiry B) sympathy C) indifferent D) emergency44.People feel guilty for the deaths of their loved ones becauseA)they couldn't find a better way to express their griefB)they believe that they were responsibleC)they had neglected the natural course of eventsD)they didn't know things often turn out in the opposite direction 45. In the context of the passage, "... the world makes sense" (Line 2, Para, 4) probably means that.A)everything in the world is predeterminedB)the world can be interpreted in different waysC)there's an explanation for everything in the worldD)we have to be sensible in order to understand the worldQuestions 45-50 refer to the following passage:Throughout the nation's more than 15,000 school districts, widely differing approaches to teaching science and math have emerged. Though there can be strength in diversity, a newinternational analysis suggests that this variability has instead contributed to lackluster achievement scores by U.S. children relative to their peers in other developed countries. Indeed, concludes William H. Schmidt of Michigan State University, who led the new analysis, "no single intellectually coherent vision dominates U.S. educational practice in math or science.'' The reason, he said, "is because the system is deeply and fundamentally flawed."The new analysis, released this week by the National Science Foundation in Arlington, Va., is based on data collected from about 50 nations as part of the Third International Mathematics and Science Study.Not only do approaches to teaching science and math vary among individual U.S. communities, the report finds, but there appears to be little strategic focus within a school district,s curricula, its textbooks, or its teachers' activities. This contrasts sharply with the coordinated national programs of most other countries.On average, U.S. students study more topics within science and math than their international counterparts do. This creates an educational environment that "is a mile wide and an inch deep," Schmidt notes.For instance, eighth graders in the United States cover about 33 topics in math versus just 19 in Japan. Among science courses, the international gap is even wider. U.S. curricula for this age level resemble those of a small group of countries including Australia, Thailand, Iceland, and Bulgaria. Schmidt asks whether the United States wants to be classed with these nations, whose educational systems "share our pattern of splintered visions" but which are not economic leaders.The new report "couldn't come at a better time," says Gerald Wheeler, executive director of the National Science Teachers Association in Arlington. "The new National Science Education Standards provide that focused vision," including the call "to do less, but in greater depth."Implementing the new science standards and their math counterparts will be the challenge, he and Schmidt agree, because the decentralized responsibility for education in the United States requires that any reforms be tailored and instituted one community at a time.In fact, Schmidt argues, reforms such as these proposed national standards "face an almost impossible task, because even though they are intellectually coherent, each becomes only one more voice in the babble."46.What does the underlined word “lackluster” mean in the passage (Line 4, Para. 1)?A) unique B) distinguishing C)important D) common47.According to the passage, the teaching of science and math in America isA)focused on tapping students' potentialB)characterized by its diversityC)losing its vitality graduallyD)going downhill in recent years48.The fundamental flaw of American school education is that.A)it lacks a coordinated national programB)it sets a very low academic standard for studentsC)it relies heavily on the initiative of individual teachersD)it attaches too much importance to intensive study of school subjects49.By saying that the U.S. educational environment is "a mile wide and an inch deep" (Line2, Para. 5), the author means U.S. educational practice.A)lays stress on quality at the expense of quantityB)offers an environment for comprehensive educationC)encourages learning both in depth and in scopeD)scratches the surface of a wide range of topics50.The new National Science Education Standards are good news in that they willA)provide depth to school science educationB)solve most of the problems in school teachingC)be able to meet the demands of the communityD)quickly dominate U.S. educational practiceQuestions 51-55 refer to the passage that follows:There are good reasons to be troubled by the violence that spreads throughout the media. Movies, Television and video games are full of gunplay and bloodshed, and one might reasonably ask what,s wrong with a society that presents videos of domestic violence as entertainment.Most researchers agree that the causes of real-world violence are complex. A 1993 study by the U.S. National Academy of Sciences listed “biological, individual, family, peer, school, and community fact ors” as all playing their parts.Viewing abnormally large amounts of violent television and video games may well contribute to violent behavior in certain individuals. The trouble comes when researchers downplay uncertainties in their studies or overstate the case for causality. Skeptics were dismayed several years ago when a group of societies including the American Medical Association tried to end the debate by issuing a joint statement: “At this time, well over 1,000 studies... point overwhelmingly to a causal connection between media violence and aggressive behavior in some children.”Freedom-of-speech advocates accused the societies of catering to politicians, and even disputed the number of studies (most were review articles and essays, they said). When Jonathan Freedman, a social psychologist at the University of Toronto, reviewed the literature, he found only 200 or so studies of television-watching and aggression. And when he weeded out “the most doubtful measures of aggression”, only 28% supported a connection.The critical point here is causality. The alarmists say they have proved that violent media cause aggression. But the assumptions behind their observations need to be examined. When labeling games as violent or non-violent, should a hero eating a ghost really be counted as a violent event? And when experimenters record the time it takes game players to read ‘aggressive, or ‘non -aggressive, words from a list, can we be sure what they are actually measuring? The intent of the new Harvard Center on Media and Child Health to collect and standardize studies of media violence in order to compare their methodologies, assumptions and conclusions is an important step in the right direction.Another appropriate step would be to tone down the criticism until we know more. Several researchers write, speak and testify quite a lot on the threat posed by violence in the media.That is, of course, their privilege. But when doing so, they often come out with statements that the matter has now been settled, drawing criticism from colleagues. In response, the alarmists accuse critics and news reporters of being deceived by the entertainment industry. Such clashes help neither science nor society.51.Why is there so much violence shown in movies, TV and video games?A)There is a lot of violence in the real world today.B)Something has gone wrong with today,s society.C)Many people are fond of gunplay and bloodshed.D)Showing violence is thought to be entertaining.52.What is the skeptics (Line 3. Para. 3) view of media violence?A)Violence on television is a fairly accurate reflection of real-world life.B)Most studies exaggerate the effect of media violence on the viewers.C) A causal relationship exists between media and real-world violence.D)The influence of media violence on children has been underestimated.53.What does the underlined word “causality“ mean (Line 3, Para. 3)?A) casualty B) objectivityC) the relationship between cause and effect D) liability54.The author uses the term “alarmists” (Line 1. Para. 5) to refer to those who .A)use standardized measurements in the studies of media violenceB)initiated the debate over the influence of violent media on realityC)assert a direct link between violent media and aggressive behaviorD)use appropriate methodology in examining aggressive behavior55.In refuting the alarmists, the author advances his argument by first challenging .A)the source and amount of their dataB)the targets of their observationC)their system of measurementD)their definition of violenceQuestions 56-60 refer to the passage below:Age has its privileges in America. And one of the more prominent of them is the senior citizen discount. Anyone who has reached a certain age —in some cases as low as 55—is automatically entitled to a dazzling array of price reductions at nearly every level of commercial life. Eligibility is determined not by one,s need but by the date on one,s birth certificate. Practically unheard of a generation ago, the discounts have become a routine part of many businesses —as common as color televisions in motel rooms and free coffee on airliners.People with gray hair often are given the discounts without even asking for them；yet,millions of Americans above age 60 are healthy and solvent. Businesses that would never dare offer discounts to college students or anyone under 30 freely offer them to older Americans. The practice is acceptable because of the widespread belief that “elderly” and “needy” are synonymous. Perhaps that once was true, but today elderly Americans as a group have a lower poverty rate than the rest of the population. To be sure, there is economic diversity within the elderly, and many older Americans are poor. But most of them aren,t.It is impossible to determine the impact of the discounts on individual companies. For many firms, they are a stimulus to revenue. But in other cases the discounts are given at the expense, directly or indirectly, of younger Americans. Moreover, they are a direct irritant in what some politicians and scholars see as a coming conflict between the generations.Generational tensions are being fueled by continuing debate over Social Security benefits, which mostly involves a transfer of resources from the young to the old. Employment is another sore point, Buoyed by laws and court decisions, more and more older Americans are declining the retirement dinner in favor of staying on the job-thereby lessening employment and promotion opportunities for younger workers.Far from a kind of charity they once were, senior citizen discounts have become a formidable economic privilege to a group with millions of members who don,t need them.It no longer makes sense to treat the elderly as a single group whose economic needs deserve priority over those of others. Senior citizen discounts only enhance the myth that older people can,t take care of themselves and need special treatment；and they threaten the creation of a new myth, that the elderly are ungrateful and taking forthemselves at the expense of children and other age groups. Senior citizen discounts are the essence of the very thing older Americans are fighting against-discrimination by age.56. We learn from the first paragraph that.A) offering senior citizens discounts has become routine commercial practiceB) senior citizen discounts have enabled many old people to live a decent lifeC) giving senior citizens discounts has boosted the market for the elderlyD) senior citizens have to show their birth certificates to get a discount57. What assumption lies behind the practice of senior citizen discounts?A) Businesses, having made a lot of profits, should do something for society inreturn.B) Old people are entitled to special treatment for the contribution they made tosociety.C) The elderly, being financially underprivileged, need humane help from society.D) Senior citizen discounts can make up for the inadequacy of the Social Securitysystem.58. What does the underlined word “synonymous“ mean (Line 5, Para 2)?A) having different meanings B) having the same meaningC) opposite C) hostile59. According to some politicians and scholars, senior citizen discounts will .A) make old people even more dependent on societyB) intensify conflicts between the young and the oldC) have adverse financial impact on business companiesD) bring a marked increase in the companies revenues60. Which of the following words can replace the underlined word “Buoyed” in the passage(Line 3, Para 4)?A) Supported B) Opposed C) Abiding D) StandingWrite your translation on the ANSWER SHEET[.Translation (40%)Section A:Translate the following passage into English (20%)大自然对人的恩赐，无论贫富，一律平等。
