For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage 1How often one hears children wishing they were grown up, and old people wishing they were young again. Each age has its pleasures and its pains, and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age gives him without wasting his time in useless regrets.Childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities to make life difficult. If a child has good parents, he is fed, looked after and loved, whatever he may do. It is impossible that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return. In addition, life is always presenting new things to the child —things that have lost their interest for older people because they are too well-known. But a child has his pains: he is not so free to do what he wishes to do; he is continually being told not to do things, or being punished for what he has done wrong.When the young man starts to earn his own living, he can no longer expect others to pay for his food, his clothes, and his room, but has to work if he wants to live comfortably. If he spends most of his time playing about in the way that he used to as a child, he will go hungry. And if he breaks the laws of society as he used to break the laws of his parents, he may go to prison. If, however, he works hard, keeps out oftrouble and has good health, he can have the great happiness of building up for himself his own position in society.21. According to Paragraph 2, the writer thinks that _______.A. life for a child is comparatively easyB. a child is always loved whatever he doesC. if much is given to a child, he must do something in returnD. only children are interested in life22. After a child grows up, he_____.A. will have little time playingB. has to be successful in finding a jobC. can still ask for help in time of troubleD. should be able to take care of himself23. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A. People are often satisfied with their life.B. Life is less interesting for old people.C. Adults are freer to do what they want to do.D. Adults should no longer rely on others.24. The main idea of the passage is that ______.A. life is not enjoyable since each age has some painsB. young men can have the greatest happiness if they work hardC. childhood is the most enjoyable time in one’s lifeD. one is the happiest if he can make good use of each age in his life25. The paragraph following the passage will most probably discuss ______.A. examples of successful young menB. how to build up one’s position in societyC. joys and pains of old peopleD. what to do when one has problems in lifePassage 2Every country tends to accept its own way of life as being the normal one and to praise or criticize others as they are similar to or different from it. And unfortunately, our picture of the people and the way of life of other countries is often a distorted (曲解) one.Here is a great argument in favor of foreign travel and learning foreign languages. It is only by traveling in, or living in a county and getting to know its inhabitants and their language that one can find out what a country and its people are really like. And how different the knowledge one gains this way frequently turns out to be true from the second-hand information gathered from other sources! How often we find that theforeigners whom we thought to be such different people from ourselves are not very different after all!Differences between peoples do of course, exist and, one hopes, will always continue to do so. The world will be a dull place indeed when all the different nationalities behave exactly alike, and some people might say that we are rapidly approaching this state of affairs. With the much greater rapidity and ease of travel, there might seem to be some truth in this at least as far as Europe is concerned. However this may be, at least the greater ease of travel today has revealed to more people than ever before that the Englishman or Frenchman or German is not some different kind of animal from themselves.26. Every country criticizes ways of life in other countries because they are _______.A. distortedB. normalC. similar to each otherD. different from its own27. One who travels in a foreign country and learns its language will ______.A. find out what its people are likeB. argue in favor of this country and the languageC. know the country and its people betterD. like its inhabitants and their language28. The knowledge one gains by traveling in a foreign county is often _______.A. from second-hand informationB. gathered from other sources than from its inhabitantsC. gained from the arguments about the countryD. different from what one had before the travel29. Differences between peoples ________.A. will gradually disappear because of ease of travelB. do exist even though different nationalities behave exactly alikeC. will always continue to exist and the world will be a dull placeD. will not exist as one hopes30. The underlined word “However” most probably means _________.A. somewhatB. by whatever meansC. anyhowD. no matter whatPassage 3We arranged that Kissinger would fly to Vietnam for talks early in July and then stop in Pakistan on the way back. There he would develop a stomachache that would require him to stay in bed and not be seen by the press. Then, with President Yahya’s cooperation he would be taken to an airport where a Pakistan plane would fly him over the mountains to China.Kissinger’s trip was given the code(密码) name Polo after Marco Polo, another Western traveler who made history by journeying to China. Everything went without a hitch. His slight illness in Islamabad received only minor attention from reporters covering him. They accepted the story that he would be confined to bed for at least a couple of days and began making arrangements for their own entertainment.Because of the need for complete secrecy and the lack of any direct communication facilities between Beijing and Washington, I knew that we would have no word from Kissinger while he was in China. Even after he had returned to Pakistan it would still be important to maintain secrecy. So before Kissinger left, we agreed on a single code word —Eureka －which he would use if his mission were successful.On July 11, Al Haig, who knew our code word, phoned me to say that a cable from Kissinger had arrived.“What’s the message?” I asked.“Eureka,” he replied.31. Kissinger stopped in Pakistan because ______.A. he happened to have a stomachacheB. he needed a rest after a long journeyC. he had a secret mission to perform thereD. he did not want to be seen by the press32. The reporters in Islamabad believed that ______.A. Kissinger was not feeling wellB. Kissinger had just come back from VietnamC. Kissinger had put off leaving for ChinaD. Kissinger was preparing to entertain them33. The statement “everything went without a hitch” (Para.2) most probably means that ______.A. nothing was easy with the missionB. the plans were carried out with great difficultyC. things went smoothlyD. there was no possibility of success34. There was no news from Kissinger while he was in Beijing, chiefly because_______.A. his trip had to be kept secretB. President Yahya did not go with KissingerC. communication between Beijing and Islamabad was difficultD. the negotiation(谈判) was not successful35. The passage implies that Kissinger’s message “Eureka” was sent _______.A. when the negotiation started in BeijingB. as soon as he arrived in WashingtonC. when he flew to Vietnam on July 11D. when the negotiation was completed in BeijingPassage 4No country in the world has more daily newspapers than the U.S.A. There are almost 2,000 of them, as compared with 180 in Japan, 144 in Argentina and 111 in Britain. The quality of some American papers is extremely high and their views are quoted all over the world. Distinguished dailies like the Washington Post or the New York Times have a powerful influence all over the country. However the Post and the Times are not national newspapers in the sense that The times is in Britain or Le Monde is in France, since each American city has its own daily newspaper. The best of these present detailed accounts of national and international news, but many tend to limit themselves to state or city news.Like the press in most other countries, American newspapers range from the “sensational”, which feature crime, sex and rumor, to the serious, which focus on factual news and the analysis of world events. But with few exceptions American newspapers try to entertain as well as give information, for they have to compete with television.Just as American newspapers give way to all tastes, so do they also try and apply to readers for all political persuasions. A few newspapers support extremist (过激分子) groups on the far right and on the far left, but most daily newspapers attempt to attract middle-of-the-road Americans who are essentially moderate. Many of these papers print columns by well-known journalists of different political and social views in order to present a balanced picture.As in other democratic countries American newspapers can be either responsible or irresponsible, but it is generally accepted that the American press serves its country well and that it has more than once bravely uncovered political scandals (丑闻) or crimes, for instance, the Watergate Affair. The newspapers drew the attention of the public to the fears of the Vietnam War.36. There are fewer national newspapers in ______.A. Britain than in the U.S.A.B. France than in BritainC. the U.S.A. than in Britain or FranceD. France than in the U.S.A. or Britain37. Most American newspapers try to entertain their readers because ______.A. they have to keep up a good relation with themB. they have to compete with televisionC. they have to write about crime, sex and rumorD. they have to give factual news in an interesting way38. Many American newspapers attract readers of different political tendency by______.A. supporting extremist groups from time to timeB. inviting middle-of-the-road Americans to write articles for themC. avoiding carrying articles about extremistsD. printing articles representing different political viewpoints39. In this passage the underlined word “press” (Para.2) means ______.A. a machine for printingB. the business of printingC. great forceD. newspapers40. The passage is mainly about ______.A. the characteristics of American newspapersB. the development of American newspapersC. the functions of American newspapersD. the merits and shortcomings of American newspapersPart III Cloze (10 points)Directions: There are 10 blanks in the following passage. For each blanks there are four choices marked A, B, C and D, you should choose one that best fits into the passage. Then mark the answer by blanking the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a pencil.If you feel you have a closer relationship with your grandmother on your mother’s side than on you father’s side, it is no surprise to researchers at the universities of Newcastle and Antwerp. 41 on studies in the Netherlands, they claim that maternal grandparents（外祖父母）are likely to make greater efforts to maintain frequent contact 42 their grandchildren than paternal grandparents （祖父母）.They 43 that psychological behaviors related to human evolution are involved: women are always sure of their relationship to their sons or daughters,44 men can never be wholly certain they are their children biological fathers.Further more, maternal grandparents are always more certain than paternal grandparents 45 a grandchild is related to them: “Thus maternal grandparents may go the extra mile to visit their grandchildren.”The study, 46 by Thomas Pollet and his colleagues, found that for grandparents 47 within 30 km of their grandchildren, more than 30 per cent of maternal grandmothers and 25 per cent of maternal grandfathers had 48 daily or a few times a week. In 49 , this fell to 15 percent for paternal grandparents.Mr. Polle t said: “Even in families where there has been divorce, we found 50 differences. Grandparents on your mother’s side make the extra effort.”41. A. Based B. Relied C. Agreed D. Taken42. A. for B. to C. in D. with43. A. demand B. speculate C. deny D. require44. A. where B. whereas C. which D. why45. A. if B. how C. that D. as46. A. come across B. cut back C. covered up D. carried out47. A. departing B. existing C. living D. emerging48. A. contact B. contract C. concern D. conduct49. A. time B. detail C. addition D. contrast50. A. unchanging B. unknown C. unlikely D. unexpectedPart IV Translate from English to Chinese (20 points)Directions: Read the following passage and translate the 5 parts underlined in the following passage from English into Chinese and write them on the Translation Paper.Scientists find that hard-working people live longer than average men and women. Career women are healthier than housewives. Evidence shows that the jobless are in poorer health than jobholders. (51) An investigation shows that whenever the unemployment rate increases by 1%, the death rate increases by 2%. All this comes down to one point, work is helpful to health.Why is work good for health? It is because work keeps people busy away from loneliness. Researches show that people feel unhappy, worried and lonely when they have nothing to do. Instead, the happiest are those who are busy. (52)Many high achievers who love their careers feel that they are happiest when they are working hard. Work serves as a bridge between man and reality. (53)By work people come into contact with each other. By collective activity they find friendship and warmth. This is helpful to health. The loss of work means the loss of everything. It affects man spiritually and makes him ill.(54 )Besides, work gives one a sense of fulfillment and a sense of achievement. Work makes one feel his value and status in society. When a writer finishes his writing or a doctor successfully operates on a patient or a teacher sees his students grow, they are happy beyond words.(55)From the above we can come to the conclusion that the more you work the happier and healthier you will be. Let us work hard and study hard and live a happy and healthy life.Part V Writing (30 points)For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic: Animals—Pets or Sources of Food and Clothing? Write at least 100 words and base your composition on the outline below and use the words for references as many as you can.1)有人认为，动物是宠物，是人类的朋友；2)还有人认为，动物是人类衣、食的主要来源；3)你的观点。

On a trip to a zoo, perhaps ? If you had attended a winter activity in New Y ork a few years ago, you would have seen a whole polar bear club. These “Polar Bear s”are people who meet frequ ently in the winter to swim in freezing cold water. That day, the air temperature was 3 degrees. And the water temp erature was a little higher. The members of the Polar Bear Club at Coney Island, New York are usually about the ag e of 60. Members must satisfy two requirements. First, the y must get along well with everyone else in the group; thi s is very important because there are so many different kin ds of people in the club. Polar Bears must also agree to s wim outdoors at least twice a month from November throu gh February.Doctors don’t agree about the medical effects of cold-water swimming. Some are worried about the dangers of a condition in which the body’s temperature drops so slow that finally the heart stops. Other doctors, however, point o ut that there is more danger of a heart attack during summ er swimming because the difference between the air temper ature and the water tempreature is much greater in summer than in winter.The Polar Bears themselves are satisfied with the bene fits of cold-water swimming. They say that their favorite f orm of exercise is very good for the circulatory system be cause it forces the blood to move fast to keep the body w arm. Cold-water swimmers usually turn bright red after a few minutes in the water. A person who turns blue probabl y has a very poor circulatory system and could not try col d-water swimming.The main benefits of cold-water swimming are probabl y mental. The Polar Bears love to swim all the year round; they find it fun and relaxing. As one 70-year-old woman says, “When I go into the water, I pour my troubles into t he ocean and let them float away.”1)、(单选题)Doctors _________ .•A、have different ideas about the medical effectsof cold-water swimming•B、believe swimming is helpful both in summer and in winter•C、enourage people to take part in cold-water swimming•D、point out the possible danger of blood illness during cold-water swimming2)、(单选题)According to the passage, somedoctors believe it is true that_______ .•A、Polar bears are bears swimming in freezing water•B、cold-water swimming can make the body temperature dangerously high•C、you are healthy if cold-water swimming turns yourskin color blue•D、cold-water swimming causes more heart attack in summer than in winter3)、(单选题)The Polar Bears like to swimyear-round, for _______ .•A、it is an easy way to keep the body warm in winter•B、they can stay young•C、they find it enjoyable and interesting•D、they might meet fewer troubles in life4)、(单选题)Which of the following isTRUE according to the text ?•A、The Polar Bear is a club in which people swim to protect polar bears.•B、The club members are all over 60 years old. •C、There is no woman in the club.•D、None of the above.5)、(单选题)This passage is mainly about_______ .•A、the requirements of the Polar Bear Club•B、a group of cold-water-swimming lovers•C、the Polar Bears’life in New York•D、doctors’ideas about cold-water swimming参考答案：1) A；2) D；3) C；4) D；5) B；展开解析33(15分)、How many times have you got upset because someone wasn't doing his job，because your child isn't behaving？H ow many times have you been irritatedwhen you've planne d something carefully and things didn't go as you'd hoped?This kind of anger and irritation happens to all of us —it’s part of the human experiences.One thing that irritates me is when people talk during a movie，or cut me off in traffic. Actually, I have a lot of these little annoyances—don't we all？And it isn’t alway s easy to find peace when you’ve become upset or irritate d.Let me tell you a little secret to finding peace of min d: see the glass as already broken .See, the cause of our stress, anger and irritation is tha t things don't go the way we like, the way we expect the m to. Think of how many times this has been true for yo u. And so the solution is simple：expect things to go wrong, expect things to be different than we hoped or planned，expect the unexpected to happen. And accept it.One quick example: on our recent trip to Japan, I told my kids to expect things to go wrong—they always do o n a trip. I told them, “See it as part of the adventure.”And this worked like a charm. When we inevitablytoo k the wrong train on a foreignlanguage subway system, or when it rained on the day we went to Disney Sea, or wh en we took three trains and walked 10 blocks only to find the National Children's Castle closed on Mondays...they sa id, “It's part of the adventure！”And it was all OK—we d idn't get too bothered.So when the nice glass you bought inevitably falls and breaks some day, you might get upset. But things will be different, if you see the glass as already broken, from th e day you get it. You know it'll break some day, so from the beginning, see it as already broken.

Each passage isfollowed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each ofthem there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You shoulddecide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on theAnswer Sheet.Passage OneQuestions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage.It is true that some couples spend every waking minute together.Others fill their hours with personal hobbies, outside interestsand even part-time jobs, just to keep their distance from each other!"There should be private time and couple time," suggests Dr. Stephen, "You don't want your latter years to turn into a process where two people unite as one. If you hold too tightly to your partner, it's going to cause resentment and anger. If you're completely separate, you'll both be lonely and disconnected. You need balance. So you have to talk about how you'll achieve that."The right balance It's different for every couple. "Having a conversation about time can be difficult, but it's important for both partners to process those feelings out loud," Dr. Stephen says. "You should not be accusing and act as a judge—ask the difficult questions, but do it in a loving way. You could say something like, 'How are we going to be as individuals and how are we going to be as a couple' "Barbara and Chris Christensen have achieved the balance that works for them. In addition to daily routines that keep them close —including about 10 minutes for a daily check-in and about a half hour of relaxation time—they each maintain separate interests and friendships."We have found that we need time apart," Barbara says. "I have a group of women friends that I have known for the last 30 years. We have dinner out once a month. We women also have parties and weekend or weeklong vacations as a group at a beach or somewhere.Chris, a former fighter pilot, has many aviation-oriented (航空的) groups and friends and also a poker-playing group. We have found it important to have separate time as well as together time."11. The author writes the passage to ______.A) offer some suggestions on how to spend the time afterretirementB) advise couples to develop their separate hobbiesC) warn couples not to be accusing each otherD) give people some advice on how to entertain themselves afterretirement12. The second paragraph is mainly intended to_______.A) warn the husband not to act as a judgeB) suggest couples have discussions about difficultiesC) suggest how to keep the correct balanceD) require couples to be considerate13. Dr. Stephen suggests that _________after retirement.A) couples s tay together all the timeB) couples express their feelings in a loving wayC) couples be separateD) wives make many friends14. It can be inferred that________.A) many couples are faced with problems after retirementB) America has a large population of retired peopleC) most people join various social groups after retirementD) playing poker is a popular activity among retired people15. Barbara and her friends do the following EXCEPT_______.A) having dinner regularlyB) holding partiesC) having weekly vacations at the beachD) having fun playing pokerPassage TwoQuestions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.Elderly people respond best to a calm and unhurried environment. This is not always easy to provide as their behavior can sometimes be irritating. If they get excited or upset then they may become more difficult to look after. Although sometimes it can be extremely difficult, it is best to be patient and not to get upset yourself. You should always encourage old people to do as much as possible for themselves but be ready to lend a helping hand when necessary.Failing memory makes it difficult for the person to recall all the basic kinds of information we take for granted. The obvious way to help in this situation is to supply the information that is missing and help them make sense of what is going on. You must use every opportunity to provide information but remember to keep itsimple and straightforward.“Good morning, Mum. This is Fiona, your daughter. It is eight o’clock, so if you get up now, we can have breakfast downstairs.”When the elderly makes confused statements e.g. about going out to his or her old employment or visiting a dead relative, correct in a calm matter-of-fact fashion: “You don’t work in the office any more. You are retired now. Will you come and help me with the dishes”We rely heavily on the information provided by signposts, clocks, calendars and newspapers. These assist us to organize and direct our behavior. Confused old people need these aids all the time to compensate for their poor memory. Encourage them to use reminder boards or diaries for important coming events and label the contents of different cupboards and drawers. Many other aids such as information cards, old photos, scrap books, and addresses or shopping list could help in individual case.16. Why can’t we sometimes keep calm in front of old peopleA)Because old people sometimes annoy us.B)Because old people sometimes don’t understand us.C)Because we are sometimes in a bad mood.D)Because we are sometimes in a hurry.17. What does the author encourage us when we talk with old peopleA) To do as little as possible.B) To do as much as they can.C) To help others when needed.D) To be patient and not get upset.18. How should we provide information to old people with failing memoriesA) By being helpful.B) By being direct.C) By being sensitive.D) By being obvious.19. What is the purpose of information provided on such things as signpostsA) To help us organize and direct our behavior.B) To help us make use of newspapers.C) To help us correct other people.D) To help us understand statements.20. What is the main idea of the passageA)What happens to old people with failing memory.B)How to help old people with failing memory.C)Why old people have poor memory.D)How to improve bad memory.Passage ThreeQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.It is often the case that when something goes wrong，it can be very satisfying to say，”Well, it’s so-and-so’s fault.” or“I know I’m late，but it’s not my fault；the car broke down.” It is probably not your fault，but once you form the habit of blaming somebody or something else for a bad situation，you are a loser. You have no power and could do nothing that helps change the situation. However, you can have great power over what happens to you if you stop focusing on whom to blame and start focusing on how to remedy the situation. This is the winner’s key to success.Winners are great at overcoming problems. For example, if you were late because your car broke down, maybe you need to have your car examined more regularly. Or, you might start to carry along with you the useful phone numbers, so you could call for help when in need. For another example, if your colleague causes you problems on the job for lack of responsibility or ability, find ways of dealing with his irresponsibility or inability rather than simply blame the person. Ask to work with a different person, or don’t rely on the person. You should accept that the person. Ask to work with a different person, or don’t rely on this person. You should accept that the person is not reliable and find creative ways to work successfully regardless of how your colleague fails to do hisjob well.This is what being a winner is all about—creatively using your skills and talents so that you are successful no matter what happens. Winners don’t have fewer problems in their lives; they have just as many difficult situations to face as anybody else. They are just better at seeing those problems as challenges and opportunities to develop their own talents. So, stop focusing on “whose fault it is.” Once you are confident about your power over bad situations, problems are just stepping stop on for success.21. According to the passage, winners tend to _______.A) deal with problems rather than blame othersB) meet with fewer difficulties in their livesC) have responsible and able colleaguesD) blame themselves rather that others22.The word “remedy” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to “_______”.A) avoid B) acceptC) improve D) consider23. When your colleague brings about a problem, you should _______.A) find a better way to handle itB) blame him for his lack of responsibilityC) tell him to find the cause of the problemD) ask a more able colleague for help24. When problems occur, winners take them as _______A) excuses for their failuresB) barriers to greater powerC) challenges to their colleaguesD) chances for self-development25. Which of the following is the best title for the passageA) A Winner’s Problem. B) A Winner’s Secret.C) A Winner’s Opportunity. D) A Winner’s Achievement.Passage FourQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.In order to go ahead, large companies need a way to reach the savings of the public at large. The same problem, on a smaller scale, faces practically every company trying to develop new products and create new jobs. There can be little prospect of raising the sort of sums needed from friends and people we know, and while banks may agree to provide short-term finance, they are generally unwilling to provide money on a permanent basis for long term projects. So companies turn to the public, inviting people to lend them money, or take a share in the business in exchange for a share in future profits. This they do by issuing stocks and shares in the businessthrough the Stock Exchange. By doing so，they can put into circulation the savings of individuals and institutions, both at home and overseas.When the saver needs his money back, he does not have to go to the company with whom he originally placed it. Instead, he sells his shares through a stockbroker to some other saver who is seeking to invest his money.Many of the services needed both by industry and by each of us are provided by the Government or by local authorities. Without hospitals, roads, electricity, telephones, railways, this country could not function. All these require continuous spending on new equipment and new development if they are to serve us properly, requiring more money than is raised though taxes alone. The Government, local authorities, and nationalized industries therefore frequently need to borrow money to finance major capital spending, and they, too, come to the Stock Exchange.There is hardly a man or woman in this country whose job or whose standard of living does not depend on the ability of his or her employers to raise money to finance new development. In one way or another, this new money must come from the savings of the country. The Stock Exchange exists to provide a channel through which these savings can reach those who need finance.26.Almost all companies involved in new production must ______.A) rely on their own financial resourcesB) persuade the banks to provide long-term loanC) borrow large sums of money from friends and people they knowD) depend on the population as a whole for finance27.The money which enables these companies to go ahead with theirprojects is ______.A) invested in different companies on the Stock ExchangeB) exchanged for part ownership in the Stock ExchangeC) raised by the selling of shares in the companiesD) repaid to its original owners as soon as possible28.When the savers want their money back, they ______.A) put their shares in the company back on the marketB) ask another company to obtain their money for themC) look for other people to borrow money fromD) transfer their money to a more successful company29.All the essential services on which we depend are ______.A) run by the Government or our local authoritiesB) in constant need of financial supportC) financed wholly by rates and taxesD) unable to provide for the needs of the population30.The Stock Exchange makes it possible for the government, localauthorities and nationalized industries ______.A) to make everybody lend money to themB) to borrow as much money as they wishC) to make certain everybody saves moneyD) to raise money to finance new developmentsPart III Vocabulary and Structure (25 minutes)Directions:There are 25 incomplete sentences in this part.

It is actually a common courtesy (礼节) in the world. With a history of thousands of years, this Chinese tradition has formed and been passed down from generation to generation. For Chinese people, courtesy demands reciprocity (互惠), which means people who are well-mannered to others will receive kindness and favors. If they receive a gift, an invitation or hospitality treatment from someone, they will offer back to the one when it is suitable. The custom of reciprocity is also considered a traditional way to build and maintain friendship. For birthdays, weddings or parties, giving suitable gifts in China is just as any other countries do.

Each of the passages is followed by 5 questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.Passage OneAmericans this year will swallow 15, 000 tons of aspirin, one of the safest and most effective drugs invented by man. As the most popular medicine in the world today, itis an effective pain reliever. Its bad effects are relatively mild, and it is cheap. Although aspirin was first sold by a German company in 1899, it has been around much longer than that. Hippocrates, in ancient Greece, understood the medical value of the leaves and tree bark which today are known to contain salicylates, the chemical in aspirin. During the 19th century there was a great deal of experimentation in Europe with this chemical, and it led to the introduction of aspirin. By 19l5, aspirin tablets(片剂) were available in the United States.For millions of people suffering from arthritis, aspirin is the only thing that works.A small quantity of aspirin (two five-grain tablets) relieves pain and inflammation. It also reduces fever by interfering with some of the body's reactions. Aspirin, in short, is truly the 20th-century wonder drug. On the other hand, it is also the second largest suicide drug and is the leading cause of poisoning among children. It has sideeffects that, although relatively mild, are largely unrecognized among users.Aspirin is very irritating to the stomach lining, and many aspirin takers complain about upset stomach. There is a right way and a wrong way to take aspirin. The best way is to chew the tablets before swallowing them with water, but few people can stand the bitter taste. Some people suggest crushing the tablets in milk or orange juice and drinking that.16. This article discusses __________.A. the multiple functions of aspirinB. how and why aspirin was inventedC. the history and the features of aspirinD. how to take aspirin properly17. According to the second paragraph, salicylates is __________.A. leaves and tree barksB. the old name of aspirinC. the name of a US companyD. a component of aspirin18. Which symptom can NOT be treated by aspirin?A. feverB. reactionsC. painD. inflammation19. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the best way to take aspirin is to take it __________.A. with bitter waterB. with orange juiceC. in tablet formD. in powder form20. The author of this article seems to be__________.A. against the use of aspirinB. in favour of aspirinC. doubtful about aspirinD. not interested in aspirinPassage TwoDr. Mary Jo Bane is the associate director of the Center for Research on Women. Herrecent study found “surprising evidence of the persistence of American commitments to family life”, which cast doubt on some common myths about American family. Myth 1: The American Family is Dying Because of the Soaring Divorce Rate.According to Dr. Bane’s study, the American family is changing, not dying. It is becoming smaller and the divorce rate is high. But Dr. Bane says that despite the high divorce rate, marriage has never been more popular. The majority of divorced people re-marry, but only 2％marry more than twice. Most marriages last a long time, and a large proportion of divorces are from teenage marriages. Depending on the specific situation, there’s often good reason for teenage marriages to break up.Myth 2: Working Mothers are Destroying the Family by Neglecting Their Children. “There’s no evidence that children receive less attention from mothers who work outside the home than from mothers working inside the home,” says Dr. Bane.“You have to divide the time into different categories: simple physical function and educational time or development time when a mother plays with the child. So far we haven’t seen the amount of educational or development time vary much, whether or not the mother works outside the home.” In fact, Dr. Bane finds evidence that working mothers, especially in the middle class, try to compensate for working by setting aside time exclusively for their children. “They probably read more to their children and spend more time in planned activities with them than nonworking mothers do.” says Dr. Bane.21. Dr. Mary Jo Bane’s study seems to suggest that _________.A. Americans are persistent in careerB. Americans are serious with their familiesC. American families are all breaking upD. American families are perfect as usual22. It can be inferred that the commonmyths of American family consider family life to be _________.A. in great dangerB. quite wonderfulC. changing too fastD. very satisfying23. According to the article, which of the following is true about marriage and divorce?A. Divorced people never consider a second marriage.B. Teenage couples often divorce out of no reason.C. Less and less people plan to get married.D. Very few people have a third or fourth marriage.24. For the children whose mothers go out to work, __________.A. it is better to have mothers at homeB. almost no attention is paid to themC. no less attention is paid to themD. a lot of time is spent playing gamespared with nonworking mothers, working mothers________.A. spare less time to stay with their childrenB. do more educational activities with childrenC. do very little simple physical houseworkD. avoid disturbing their work by family dutiesPassage ThreeCrime has its own cycles, a magazine reported some years ago. Police records that were studied for five years from over 2,400 cities and towns show a surprising link between changes in the season and crime patterns in UK.The pattern of crime has varied very little over a long period of years. Murder reaches its high during July and August, as do rape and other violent attacks. Murder, moreover, is more than seasonal: it is a weekend crime. It is also a nighttime crime: 62 percent of murders are committed between 6 p. m. and 6 a. m.Unlike the summer high in crimes of bodily harm, burglary has a different cycle. You are most likely to be robbed between 6 p. m. and 2 a. m. on a Saturday night in December, January or February. The most uncriminal month of all is May; however, more dog bites are reported in this month than in any other month of the year.On the other hand, our intellectual seasonal cycles are completely different from our criminal tendencies. Professor Huntington, of the Foundation for the Study of Cycles, made extensive studies to discover the seasons when people read serious books, attend scientific meetings, make the highest scores on examinations, and propose the most changes to patents. In all instances, he found a spring peak and an autumn peak separated by a summer low. On the other hand, Professor Huntington's studies indicated that June is the peak month for suicides and admissions to mental hospitals. June is also a peak month for marriages!26. The seasonal cycle of crime patterns is proved by_________.A. the figures in police recordsB. 2,400 cities and townsC. a magazine reportD. the studies by police officers27. According to paragraph 2, a murder would most possibly occur on _________.A. a weekday morning in springB. a weekday morning in autumnC. a weekend night in summerD. a weekend night in winter28. What makes May a special month of the year?A. All types of crimes happen in May.B. There is no crime happened in May.C. Criminals increase in number in May.D. Dog attacks are most frequent in May.29. Which behavior is NOT an example of human intellectual activities?A. Reading books on philosophy.B. Attending wedding ceremony.C. Working on mathematics questions.D. Innovating engineering machinery.30. According to Professor Huntington’s study, June is the peak month when people _________.A. get divorcedB. recover from mental illnessC. try to kill themselvesD. climb high and low mountainsPassage FourIn Lusaka, Zambia, a young man applying for a job was told to see the manager. He leaned over the receptionist’s desk and asked. “What tribe（部落）is he?” When the receptionist told him that the manager was a Mashona, the applicant replied, “Then I'll never get the job.”This phenomenon is called tribalism（部落主义）. There are more than 2,000 tribes in black Africa. Each has its own language, customs, and physical characteristics thatmake its members almost immediately recognizable to a person from another tribe. To the Westerner, tribalism is one of the most difficult of African customs to understand. It makes many people think of savagery, warfare, or old-fashioned customs.However, to most Africans, tribalism simply means very strong loyalty to one’s ethnic group. It is a force that can be both good and bad. By definition tribalism means sharing among members of the extended family. It makes sure that a person is taken care of by his own group tribesman. To give a job to a fellow is not wrong; it is an obligation. Similarly, for a politician or military leader, it is considered good common sense to choose his closest advisers from people of his own tribe. This ensures security, continuity, and authority. Tribal loyalty may mean a quick promotion—from sergeant to captain, from clerk to manager—within a very short time. Modern African politicians publicly speakout against tribal divisions. Yet it remains perhaps the most powerful force in day-to-day African life.31. In paragraph 1, why did the young man believe his job application will be refused?A. His behavior was not appropriate.B. He belonged to the same tribe with the manager.C. He didn’t belong to the same tribe with the manager.D. His questions annoyed the receptionist.32.

There are 4 passages in this part. Each of the passages is followed by 5 questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.Passage OneSYDNEY: As they sat sharing sweets beside a swimming pool in 1999, Shane Gould and Jessicah Schipper were simply getting along well, chatting about sport, life and "anything else that came up."Yet in Sydney next month, they will meet again by the pool, and for a short time the friends will race against each other in the 50-meter butterfly （蝶泳）in the Australian championships at Homebush Bay.Gould, now a 47-year-old mother of four, has announced she will be making a return to elite competition （顶级赛事）to swim the one event, having set a qualifying time of 30. 32 seconds in winning gold at last year's United States Masters championships. Her comeback comes 32 years after she won three golds at the Munich Olympics.Schipper, now a 17-year-old from Brisbane with a bright future of going to Athens for her first Olympics, yesterday recalled her time with Gould five years ago."I was at a national youth camp on the Gold Coast and Shane had come along to talk to us and watch us train," Schipper explained. "It seemed as if we had long been good friends. I don't know why. We just started talking and it went from there.""She had a lot to share with all of us at that camp. She told us stories about what it was like at big meets like the Olympics and what it was like to be on an Australian team. It was really interesting."Next time, things will be more serious. "I will still be swimming in the 50m butterfly at the nationals, so there is a chance that I could actually be competing against Shane Gould," said Schipper, who burst onto the scene at last year's national championships with second places in the 100m and 200m butterfly.16.What is the passage mainly about?A.Stories happening in swimming competitions.B.Two women swimmers winning Olympic golds.C.Lessons learned from international swimming championships.D.Friendship and competition between two swimmers.17.Gould and Schipper are going to —A. talk about sport and lifeB. go back to elite competitionC. set a qualifying time and win goldD. take part in the same sports event18.Gould won her three Olympic golds when she wasA. 15B. 17C. 22D. 3019.The underlined word "it" in the fifth paragraph probably refers toA. the OlympicsB. the youth campC. the friendshipD. the Australian team20.What Schipper said showed that she —A.was no longer Gould's friendB.had learned a lot from GouldC.was not interested in Gould's storiesD.would not like to compete against GouldPassage TwoThat cold January night, I was growing sick of my life in San Francisco. There I was, walking home at one in the morning after a tiring practice at the theatre. With the opening night only a week from now on, I was still learning my lines. I was having trouble dealing with my part-time job at the bank and my acting at night at the same time. As I walked, I thought seriously about giving up both acting and San Francisco. City life had become too much for me.As I walked down empty streets under tall buildings, I felt very small and cold. I began running, both to keep warm and to keep away from any possible robbers. Very few people were still out except a few sa&looking homeless people under blankets.About a block from my apartment, I heard a sound behind me. I turned quickly, half expecting to see someone with a knife or a gun. The street was empty. All I saw was a shining streetlight. Still, the noise had made me nervous, so I started to run faster. Not until I reached my apartment building and unlocked the door did I realize what the noise had been. It had been my wallet falling to the sidewalk.Suddenly I wasn't cold or tired anymore. I ran out of the door and back to where I'd heard the noise. Although I searched the sidewalk anxiously for fifteen minutes, my wallet was nowhere to be found.Just as I was about to give up the search, I heard the garbage truck pull upto the sidewalk next to me. When a voice called from the inside, "Alisa Camacho?" I thought I was dreaming. How could this man know my name? the door opened, and out jumped a small red-haired man with an amused look in his eye. "Is this what you're looking for?n he asked, holding up a small square shape.It was nearly 3 am by the time I got into bed. I wouldn't get much sleep that night, but I had gotten my wallet back. I also had gotten back some enjoyment of city life. I realized that the city couldn't be a bad place as long as people were willing to help each other.21.How did the writer feel when she was walking home after work?A. Cold and sick.B. Fortunate and helpful.C. Satisfied and cheerful.D. Disappointed and helpless.22.From the first paragraph, we learn that the writer was busy —A. solving her problem at the bankB. taking part in various city activitiesC. learning acting in an evening schoolD. preparing for the first night show23.On her way home the writer —A.lost her wallet unknowinglyB.was stopped by a garbage truck driverC.was robbed of her wallet by an armed manD.found some homeless people following her24.In the fifth paragraph, why did the writer say she was dreaming?A. Someone offered to take her back home.B. A red-haired man came to see her.C.She heard someone call her name.D.Her wallet was found in a garbage truck.25.From the text, we can infer that the writerA.would stop working at nightB. would stay on in San FranciscoC. would make friends with cleanersD. would give up her job at the bankPassage ThreeParents should stop blaming themselves because there's not a lot they can do about it. I mean the teenager problem. Whatever you do or however you choose to deal with it, at certain times a wonderful, reasonable and helpful child will turn into a terrible animal.I've seen friends deal with it in all kinds of different ways. One strict mother insisted that her son should stand up whenever anyone entered the room, open doors and shake hands like a gentleman. I saw him last week when I called round. Sprawling himself on the sofa in full length, he made no attempt to turn off the loud TV he was watching as I walked in, and his greeting was no more than a quick glance at me. His mother was ashamed. "I don't know what to do with him these days," she said. "He's forgotten all the manners we taught him."He hasn't forgotten them. He's just decided that he's not going to use them. She confessed that she would like to come up behind him and throw him down from the sofa onto the floor.Another good friend of mine let her two daughters climb all over the furniture, reach across the table, stare at me and say, "I don't like your dress; it's ugly." One of the daughters has recently been driven out of school. The other has left home."Where did we go wrong?" her parents are now very sad. Probably nowhere much. At least, no more than the rest of that unfortunate parents.26.This text is most probably written by —A. a specialist in teenager studiesB. a headmaster of a middle schoolC. a parent with teenage childrenD. a doctor for mental health problems27.The underlined word "it" in the second paragraph refers to —A.the change from good to bad that's seen in a childB.the way that parents often blame themselvesC.the opinion that a child has of his parentsD.the advice that parents want their children to follow28.The boy on the sofa would most probably be described asA. lazyB. quietC. unusualD. rude29.From the second example we can infer that the parents of the two daughters —A. pay no attention to themB. are too busy to look after themC. have come to hate themD. feel helpless to do much about them30.What is the author's opinion about the sudden change in teenage children?A.Parents have no choice but to try to accept it.B.Parents should pay still more attention to the change.C.Parents should work more closely with school teachers.D.Parents are at fault for the change in their children.Passage FourNow could we possibly think that keeping animals in cages in unnatural environments mostly for entertainment purposes—is fair and respectful?Zoo officials say they are concerned about animals. However, most zoos remain "collections" of interesting "things" rather than protective habitats. Zoos teach people that it is acceptable to keep animals bored, lonely, and far from their natural zones.Zoos claim to educate people and save endangered species, but visitors leave zoos without having learned anything meaningful about the animals* natural behavior, intelligence, or beauty. Zoos keep animals in small spaces or cages, and most signs only mention the species* names, diets, and natural ranges. The animals* normal behavior is seldom noticed because zoos don* t usually take care of the animals* natural needs.The animals are kept together in small spaces, with no privacy and little opportunity for mental andphysical exercise. This results in unusual and self-destructive behavior called zoochosis. A worldwide study of zoos found that zoochosis is common among animals kept in small spaces or cages. Another study showed that elephants spend 22 percent of their time making repeated head movements or biting cage bars, and bears spend 30 percent of their time walking back and forth, a sign of unhappiness and pain.Furthermore, most animals in zoos are not endangered. Captive breeding of endangered big cats, Asian elephants, and other species has not resulted in their being sent back to the wild. Zoos talk a lot about their captive breeding programs because they do not want people to worry about a species dying out. In fact, baby animals also attract a lot of paying customers. Haven't we seen enough competitions to name baby animals?Actually, we will save endangered species only if we save their habitats and put an end to the reasons people kill them. Instead of supporting zoos, we should support groups that work to protect animals* natural habitats.31.How would the author describe the animals* life in zoos?A. Dangerous.B. Unhappy.C. Natural.D. Easy.32.In the state of zoochosis, animalsA. remain in cagesB. behave strangelyC. attack other animalsD. enjoy moving around33.What does the author try to argue in the passage?A.Zoos are not worth the public support.B.Zoos fail in their attempt to save animals.C.Zoos should treat animals as human beings.D.Zoos use animals as a means of entertainment.34.The author tries to persuade readers to accept his argument mainly by —A.pointing out the faults in what zoos doing evidence he has collected at zoosC.questioning the way animals are protectedD.discussing the advantages of natural habitats35.Although he argues against zoos, the author would still agree that —A.zoos have to keep animals in small cagesB.most animals in zoos are endangered speciesC.some endangered animals are reproduced in zoosD.it's acceptable to keep animals away from their habitatsPart III Vocabulary and Structure (20 points)Directions: There are 40 incomplete sentences in this section.

Part II Reading Comprehension (35 minutes)Directions:There are 4 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneQuestions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage.It is true that some couples spend every waking minute together. Others fill their hours with personal hobbies, outside interests and even part-time jobs, just to keep their distance from each other! "There should be private time and couple time," suggests Dr. Stephen, "You don't want your latter years to turn into a process where two people unite as one. If you hold too tightly to your partner, it's going to cause resentment and anger. If you're completely separate, you'll both be lonely and disconnected. You need balance. So you have to talk about how you'll achieve that."The right balance? It's different for every couple. "Having a conversationabout time can be difficult, but it's important for both partners to process those feelings out loud," Dr. Stephen says. "You should not be accusing and act as a judge—ask the difficult questions, but do it in a loving way. You could say something like, 'How are we going to be as individuals and how are we going to be as a couple?' "Barbara and Chris Christensen have achieved the balance that works for them. In addition to daily routines that keep them close—including about 10 minutes for a daily check-in and about a half hour of relaxation time —they each maintain separate interests and friendships."We have found that we need time apart," Barbara says. "I have a group of women friends that I have known for the last 30 years. We have dinner out once a month. We women also have parties and weekend or weeklong vacations as a group at a beach or somewhere. Chris, a former fighter pilot, has many aviation-oriented (航空的) groups and friends and also a poker-playing group. We have found it important to have separate time as well as together time."11. The author writes the passage to ______.A) offer some suggestions on how to spend the time after retirementB) advise couples to develop their separate hobbiesC) warn couples not to be accusing each otherD) give people some advice on how to entertain themselves after retirement12. The second paragraph is mainly intended to_______.A) warn the husband not to act as a judgeB) suggest couples have discussions about difficultiesC) suggest how to keep the correct balanceD) require couples to be considerate13. Dr. Stephen suggests that _________after retirement.A) couples s tay together all the timeB) couples express their feelings in a loving wayC) couples be separateD) wives make many friends14. It can be inferred that________.A) many couples are faced with problems after retirementB) America has a large population of retired peopleC) most people join various social groups after retirementD) playing poker is a popular activity among retired people15. Barbara and her friends do the following EXCEPT_______.A) having dinner regularlyB) holding partiesC) having weekly vacations at the beachD) having fun playing pokerPassage TwoQuestions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.Elderly people respond best to a calm and unhurried environment. This is not always easy to provide as their behavior can sometimes be irritating. If they get excited or upset then they may become more difficult to look after. Although sometimes it can be extremely difficult, it is best to be patientand not to get upset yourself. You should always encourage old people to do as much as possible for themselves but be ready to lend a helping hand when necessary.Failing memory makes it difficult for the person to recall all the basic kinds of information we take for granted. The obvious way to help in this situation is to supply the information that is missing and help them make sense of what is going on. You must use every opportunity to provide information but remember to keep it simple and straightforward.“Good morning, Mum. This is Fiona, your daughter. It is eight o’clock, so if you get up now, we can have breakfast downstairs.”When the elderly makes confused statements . about going out to his or her old employment or visiting a dead relative, correct in a calm matter-of-fact fashion: “You don’t work in the office any more. You are retired now. Will you come and help me with the dishes?”We rely heavily on the information provided by signposts, clocks, calendars and newspapers. These assist us to organize and direct our behavior. Confused old people need these aids all the time to compensate for their poor memory. Encourage them to use reminder boards or diaries for important coming events and label the contents of different cupboards and drawers. Many other aids such as information cards, old photos, scrap books, and addresses or shopping list could help in individual case.16. Why can’t we sometimes keep calm in front of old people?A)Because old people sometimes annoy us.B)Because old people sometimes don’t understand us.C)Because we are sometimes in a bad mood.D)Because we are sometimes in a hurry.17. What does the author encourage us when we talk with old people?A) To do as little as possible.B) To do as much as they can.C) To help others when needed.D) To be patient and not get upset.18. How should we provide information to old people with failing memories?A) By being helpful.B) By being direct.C) By being sensitive.D) By being obvious.19. What is the purpose of information provided on such things as signposts?A) To help us organize and direct our behavior.B) To help us make use of newspapers.C) To help us correct other people.D) To help us understand statements.20. What is the main idea of the passage?A)What happens to old people with failing memory.B)How to help old people with failing memory.C)Why old people have poor memory.D)How to improve bad memory.Passage ThreeQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.It is often the case that when something goes wrong，it can be very satisfying to say，”Well, it’s so-and-so’s fault.” or“I know I’m late，but it’s not my fault；the car broke down.” It is probably not your fault，but once you form the habit of blaming somebody or something else for a bad situation，you are a loser. You have no power and could do nothing that helps change the situation. However, you can have great power over what happensto you if you stop focusing on whom to blame and start focusing on how to remedy the situation. This is the winner’s key to success.Winners are great at overcoming problems. For example, if you were late because your car broke down, maybe you need to have your car examined more regularly. Or, you might start to carry along with you the useful phone numbers, so you could call for help when in need. For another example, if your colleague causes you problems on the job for lack of responsibility or ability, find ways of dealing with his irresponsibility or inability rather than simply blame the person. Ask to work with a different person, or don’t rely on the person. You should accept that the person. Ask to work with a different person, or don’t rely on this person. You should accept that the person is not reliable and find creative ways to work successfully regardless of how your colleague fails to do his job well.This is what being a winner is all about—creatively using your skills and talents so that you are successful no matter what happens. Winners don’t have fewer problems in their lives; they have just as many difficult situations to face as anybody else. They are just better at seeing those problems as challenges and opportunities to develop their own talents. So, stop focusing on “whose fault it is.” Once you are confident about your power over bad situations, problems are just stepping stop on for success.21. According to the passage, winners tend to _______.A) deal with problems rather than blame othersB) meet with fewer difficulties in their livesC) have responsible and able colleaguesD) blame themselves rather that othersword “remedy” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to “_______”.A) avoid B) acceptC) improve D) consider23. When your colleague brings about a problem, you should _______.A) find a better way to handle itB) blame him for his lack of responsibilityC) tell him to find the cause of the problemD) ask a more able colleague for help24. When problems occur, winners take them as _______A) excuses for their failuresB) barriers to greater powerC) challenges to their colleaguesD) chances for self-development25. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A) A Winner’s Problem. B) A Winner’s Secret.C) A Winner’s Opportunity. D) A Winner’s Achievement. Passage FourQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.In order to go ahead, large companies need a way to reach the savings of the public at large. The same problem, on a smaller scale, faces practically every company trying to develop new products and create new jobs. There can be little prospect of raising the sort of sums needed from friends and people we know, and while banks may agree to provide short-term finance, they are generally unwilling to provide money on a permanent basis for long term projects. So companies turn to the public, inviting people to lend them money, or take a share in the business in exchange for a share in future profits. This they do by issuing stocks and shares in the business through the Stock Exchange. By doing so，they can put into circulation the savings of individuals and institutions, both at home and overseas.When the saver needs his money back, he does not have to go to the company with whom he originally placed it. Instead, he sells his shares through astockbroker to some other saver who is seeking to invest his money.Many of the services needed both by industry and by each of us are provided by the Government or by local authorities. Without hospitals, roads, electricity, telephones, railways, this country could not function. All these require continuous spending on new equipment and new development if they are to serve us properly, requiring more money than is raised though taxes alone. The Government, local authorities, and nationalized industries therefore frequently need to borrow money to finance major capital spending, and they, too, come to the Stock Exchange.There is hardly a man or woman in this country whose job or whose standard of living does not depend on the ability of his or her employers to raise money to finance new development. In one way or another, this new money must come from the savings of the country. The Stock Exchange exists to providea channel through which these savings can reach those who need finance.26.Almost all companies involved in new production must ______.A) rely on their own financial resourcesB) persuade the banks to provide long-term loanC) borrow large sums of money from friends and people they knowD) depend on the population as a whole for finance27.The money which enables these companies to go ahead with their projectsis ______.A) invested in different companies on the Stock ExchangeB) exchanged for part ownership in the Stock ExchangeC) raised by the selling of shares in the companiesD) repaid to its original owners as soon as possible28.When the savers want their money back, they ______.A) put their shares in the company back on the marketB) ask another company to obtain their money for themC) look for other people to borrow money fromD) transfer their money to a more successful company29.All the essential services on which we depend are ______.A) run by the Government or our local authoritiesB) in constant need of financial supportC) financed wholly by rates and taxesD) unable to provide for the needs of the population30.The Stock Exchange makes it possible for the government, local authoritiesand nationalized industries ______.A) to make everybody lend money to themB) to borrow as much money as they wishC) to make certain everybody saves moneyD) to raise money to finance new developmentsPart III Vocabulary and Structure (25 minutes) Directions:There are 25 incomplete sentences in this part.

For Chinese people, courtesy demands reciprocity (互惠), which means people who are well-mannered to others will receive kindness and favors. If they receive a gift, an invitation or hospitality treatment from someone, they will offer back to the one when it is suitable.

Each passage isfollowed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) andD). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on theAnswer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage 1Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:People landing at London’s Heathrow airport have something new to look at as they fly over Britain’s capital c ity. It is attractive, simple and a little strange. The Millennium Dome (千禧穹顶)is a huge semi-circle of plastic and steel and it contains the largest public space in the world. It has been built to house an exhibition of all that is best in British life, learning and leisure.The Millennium Dome was designed by Sir Richard Rogers, one of Britain’s most famous architects. His work points the way to new developments in building. Think of it as a giant symbol of the buildings in which we will all be living and working in the near future.Buildings are also a part of history. They express the culture of the times. Sir Richard Rogers is aware of this responsibility. While different designers have individual styles, their work also has a common style. That is: to express the values of the information age.What is an “information age” building? The Dome is a good example. After the Millennium exhibition ends, it will be used for another purpose. Just as people no longer have “jobs for life”, modern buildings are des igned for a number of different uses.Another Richard Roger’s building, the Pompidou Center inFrance, uses the idea that information is communication. Instead of being hidden in the walls, heating pipes and elevators are open to public view. The Pompidou Center is a very honest building. It tells you how it works.31. The Millennium Dome has been originally built to hold an exhibition _______ .A)of different building designsB)of everything that can draw the attention of peopleC)of the finest things in BritainD)of recent developments in information technology32. The sentence “His work points the way to new developments in building” (Line 2, Para 2) implies that the designer Sir Richard Rogers ________ .A)has developed a new set of building standardsB)strictly follows the tradition in his workC)is a pioneer architect of his ageD)is quite different from other architects33. Sir Richard Rogers clearly knows that it is his duty to ________ .A)create something out of a unique styleB)house those who will often change their jobsC)make his buildings historic onesD)construct a building that can express the culture of the modern age34. The Pompidou Center in France is outstanding in the fact that ________ .A)people in it are able to visit each other convenientlyB)visitors can see clearly the structure and facilities of the whole buildingC)it makes use of the best techniques invented in theinformation ageD)it was designed and built by an honest British designer35. The passage mainly tells us about ________ .A)the unique contribution of a famous architectB) a few developments in house-buildingC)the common features of British and French buildingsD)modern buildings of various stylesPassage 2Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:The Library of Congress is Americ a’s national library. It has millions of books and other objects. It has newspapers, popular publications and letters of historical interest. It also has maps, photographs, art prints, movies, sound recordings and musical instruments. Altogether, it has more than one-hundred-million objects.The Library of Congress is open to the public Monday through Saturday, except for government holidays. Anyone may go there and read anything in the collection. But no one is permitted to take books out of the building.The Library of Congress was established in 1800. It started with eleven boxes of books in one room of the Capitol building. By 1814, the collection had increased to about three-thousand books. They were all destroyed that year when the Capitol was burn ed during America’s war with Britain. To help re-build the library, Congress bought the books of President Thomas Jefferson. Mister Jefferson’s collection included seven-thousand books in seven languages. In 1897, the Library moved into its own building, across the street from the Capitol. Today, three buildings hold the library’s collection.The Library of Congress provides books and materials to theUnited States Congress. It also lends books to other American libraries, government agencies and foreign libraries. It buys some of its books and gets others as gifts. It also gets materials through its copyright office. Anyone who wants copyright protection for a publication in the United States must send two copies to the library. This means the Library of Congress receives almost everything that is published in the United States.36. According to the passage, what was the Library of Congress in the very beginning?A) A private library.B) A reading room in the Capitol building.C) A school library.D) A library with three buildings to hold its collection.37.

Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A) The History of the Library of Congress.B) The Function of the Library of Congress.C) An Introduction to the Library of Congress.D) The Significance of the Library of Congress.Passage 3Questions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage:We’ve all faced failure in our lives. No one goes through life unharmed. We can only hope that our failures will be mixed with our successes, and we will have had a life well lived.Still, while there are no guarantees that you never fail, there are ways in which you can turn the odds (机会) more in your favor. Specifically, success is most closely related to your reaction to your unavoidable failures. This is true not only for you personally, but also in your role as a business manager and leader.When an organization is trying something new, mistakes are unavoidable. It is up to the leader to create an environment where peopl e aren’t afraid to fail. Mistakes should be seen as a necessary part of the organizational process. Errors are simply a normal by-product of pursuing excellence.Obviously, some mistakes are easier to tolerate (容忍) than others. Action should be taken when an error is made, but, usually, it should be corrective action rather than blame. Mistakes present a unique opportunity to teach and develop your staff. Growth and success can’t come without risk taking, and progress doesn’t happen with out mistakes.As a leader, one of the ways I’ve approached errors is by judging whether the action taken was a “mistake of the heart” or a “mistake of the head”. A mistake of the heart is a situationwhere such an employee does something wrong on purpose and tries to get away with it. I tend to be very serious in such situations. A mistake of the head happens when an employee is working hard to do the right thing, but for some reason, it doesn’t turn out that way. I tend do be very lenient (宽容的) on these types of mistakes. In fact, I have even praised people for making a mistake because their intentions were so good.The goal for a leader isn’t to avoid all possible failures. It’s to avoid errors that can be easily predicted, as well as risks that aren’t wor th the possible costs. Good leaders are willing to take risks to improve their operations. If you never try anything new, you can’t possibly hope to improve. This is true for individuals, and it’s true for organizations.41. The passage is chiefly intended to give advice to ________ .A) business leaders B) the average manC) employees D) losers42. What is the author’s overall attitude toward failures?A)Failures naturally lead to successes.B)We can often predict failures and avoid them.C)We should try our best to avoid failures because they are very harmful.D)Failures may be unavoidable, but we can learn to benefit from them.43. According to the passage, it is essential that an organization leader should ________ .A)be strict with any mistakesB)put up with any mistakesC)pay no attention to the employee’s mistakesD)take a corrective attitude towards mistakes44. The phrase “get away with” (Line 3, Para 5) couldprobably mean “________”.A) get rid of B) do without being punishedC) correct D) stick to45. The author illustrates his viewpoint by ________ .A)introducing his own experienceB)giving examples which are set by other peopleC)pointing out the harm of mistakesD)making a comparison between successes and failuresSection BDirections: In this section, there is a passage with ten blanks. You are required to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage.Read the passage through carefully before making your choices. Each choice in thebank is identified by a letter. Please mark the corresponding letter for each item onthe Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre. You may not use any of thewords in the bank more than once.Today, when most people go to various stores, they carry their purchases home in plastic shopping bags. While such bags 46 common today, before much longer, plastic bags might be no more.Plastic was first introduced in the 1860s. While it quickly gained 47 in the manufacture of many items, companies did not begin using plastic to produce shopping bags 48 the 1970s. These first bags were manufactured from polyethylene (聚乙烯), a type of plastic made from oil and natural gas. In the United States of America, plastic shopping bags became 49 used in 1982, when Kroger and Safeway grocery stores began to offer theircustomers plastic bags instead of 50 ones.Since 1982, plastic bags have been the bags of 51 among consumers. However, in recent years, many people have increasingly 52 to the use of plastic bags. The use of oil and natural gas to manufacture the bags reduces the 53 supplies of these raw materials. Polyethylene plastic bags also are usually only used once and then 54 of in the trash (垃圾). These bags take generations to begin to decompose (分解) and 55 harmful chemicals in the process. Plastic bags can also be harmful to children and wildlife.Part III Integrated Testing (15 marks, 20 minutes)Section ADirections: There are 20 blanks in the following passage.
