All firemen on the night shift, including theofficer in charge, are said to have been sleeping in chairs or stretched out on the floor. This is the second time in recent years that a group of BL empl_ oyees at Solihull has been dismissed for sleeping on duty. Two and a half years ago 13 night shift workers there were found a_ sleep. They had brought sleeping bags, blankets, and built makeshift b_ unks. But it is understood that no such preparations had been m_ ade by the firemen. The eight were brought before a disciplinary hearing on Tuesday and charged with conduct in breach of their duty. They were sum_ marily dismissed. All eight have given voice of their intention to appeal under t_ he company's disputes procedure. The hearing is expected to take place next week with officials of the Transport and General Wor_ kers Union representing them.26.

The importance of punctuality is taug_ ht to young children in school. Tardy slops and the use of bells sig_ nal to the child that punctuality and time itself are to be respected. People who keep appointments are considered dependable. If people are late to job interviews, appointments, or classes, they are often vie_ wed as unreliable and irresponsible. In the business world, "time is money" and companies may fine their executives for tardiness to busi_ ness meetings. Of course, it is not always possible to be punctual. Social and business etiquette also provides rules for late arrivals. Calling on the telephone if one is going to be more than a few minute_ s late for schedule appointments is considered polite and is often ex_ pected. Keeping a date of a friend waiting beyond ten to twenty minute_ s is considered rude. On the other hand, arriving thirty minutes late to some parties is acceptable. Respecting deadlines is also important in academic and professional ci_ rcles. It is expected that deadlines for class assignments or business reports will be met. Students who hand in assignments late may be surp_ rised to find that the professor will lower their grades or even refus_ e to grade their work. Whether it is a question of arriving on time or of meeting a deadline, people are culturally conditioned to regulate t_ ime.31. The best title for this passage is ________.A. PromptnessB. TimeC. DeadlinesD. Etiquette32. In the United States the child who must go to bed early, be prompt at school, or bring a tardy slip if he is late_____A. is learning the importance of time and punctuality in his culture.B. Is learning to disobey his parents and teachers.C. Is being punished for disobeying his mother and school officials.D. Is being punished for playing too much.33. If a person is late for a business meeting, he may be _____A. criticizedB. firedC. made to payD. given a pay rise34. Social etiquette in the United States allows people______A. to be a few minutes late for interviews and business meetings.B. to come early to partiesC. to be up to a half-hour late for some parties.D. to call a date when he is thirty minutes late.35. The last sentence means ______A. people everywhere regulate time in the same way.B. Conditions decide how people spend time.C. Regular timetable is important in every culture.D. Different cultures have different customs concerning time.PASSAGE 4Urban life has always involved a balancing of opportunities and rewards against dangers and stress; its motivating force is, in the broadest s_ ense, money. Opportunities to make money mean competition and competit_ ion is stressful; it is often at its most intense in the largest cities , where opportunities are greatest. The presence of huge numbers of pe_ ople inevitable involves more conflict, more traveling, the overloading of public services and exposure to those deviants and criminals who are drawn to the rich pickings of great cities. Crime has always flourished in the relative anonymity of urban life, but today's ease of movement makes its control more difficult than ever; there is much evidence that its extent has a direct relationship to the size of communities. City dwellers may become trapped in their homes by the fear of crime around them. As a defense against these developments city dwellers tend to use vari_ ous strategies to try and reduce the pressures upon themselves: contac_ ts with other people are generally made brief and impersonal; doors are kept locked; telephone numbers may be ex-directory; journeys outside th_ e home are usually hurried, rather than a source of pleasure. There are other strategies too, which are positively harmful to the individual; f_ or example, reducing awareness through drugs or alcohol. Furthermore, a_ ll these defensive forms of behavior are harmful to society in general; they cause widespread loneliness and destroy the community's concern for its members. Lack of informal social contact and indifference to the mi_ sfortunes of others, if they are not personally known to oneself, are a_ mongst the major causes of urban crime.36. According to the author, living in a city causes stress because the_ re are so many people who are _____.A. anxious to succeedB. in need of helpC. naturally aggressiveD. likely to commit crime37. The author thinks that crime is increasing in cities because _____.A. people do not communicate with their neighborsB. Criminals are difficult to trace in large populationC. People feel anonymous thereD. The trappings of success are attractive to criminals38. According to the article, what is the worst problem facing people living in cities?A. crimeB. finding somewhere to liveC. lonelinessD. drugs and alcoholism39. The biggest incentive to live in a city is_______A. rewardsB. stressC. competitionD. money40. According to the author, crime is caused by several factors, one of which is _____A. social isolationB. defensive behaviorC. hurried journeysD. personal misfortunePART II READING COMPREHENSION (50%)PASSAGE 5 SYDENHAM HIGH SCHOOLGirls from 5-18 yearsA well established, selective girls schoolOffering a broad academic curriculumAnd a wide variety of extra curricular activities and clubsTelephone: 081 778873741. What's this passage for?42. Who will be interested in reading it?43. Can a 14-year-old boy be sent there?44. If you want to send your daughter to that school, what should you do?45. What does the school offer?PASSAGE 6He saw the station in a new light. Here was a mass of human beings, some black, some white, and some brown like himself. Here they mixed with one another, yet each mistrusted the other with an unnatural fear. Each treated the other with suspicion, each move in a narrow, haunted pattern of its own manufacture. One must challenge these things the speaker had said in one's own way. Yet how in one's way? How was one to challenge? Slowly it dawned upon him. Here was his chance, the bench. The railway bench with the legend "Europeans Only" neatly painted on it in white. For one moment it symbolized all the challenge to his rights as a man. There it stood, a perfectly ordinary wooden railway bench, like hundreds of thousands of others in South Africa. That bench, now had concentrated in it all the evils of system, he could not understand. It was the obstacle to himself and humanity. If he sat on it he was a human in a human society. Healmost had visions of fighting the pernicious system if only he sat on that bench. Here was his chance. He, Karlie, would challenge.46. What is this passage about? 47. Who is the main character in the passage? 48. Is he a black person? 49. Where is he? 50. What is he going to do?PART III TRANSLATION (15%)Engineering software technology is constantly evolving, driving the marketplace, allowing companies to bring better products to market faster and at lower cost. Each new software release provides breakthroughs that allow companies to rely more on virtual product development and less on hours of laboratory, build-and-break studies. What used to take companies months or even years, costing a lot to design and build, now can be done in just weeks without great expense. This evolution is a direct result of the changing role of design analysis and optimisation software. Once thought of as "an extra step", today, this software is being applied throughout the product development process, testing ideas early in the development stage. ACME, Inc. develops the software tools that allow companies to build better, safer and more reliable products faster than ever before.PART IV COMPOSITION (15%)Opportunity and SuccessYou are expected to write three paragraphs.In the first paragraph, state clearly your viewpoint.In the second paragraph, support your viewpoint with details or examples.In the third paragraph, bring a summary to your composition.1-----10:bcddc dbbbc11----20: abbda dccda21----30: dcbda ddbad31----40: aaccd abada41:It is the advertisement about a school.42:Those who want to find a school for their daughters.43:No.44:Phone the No. 081 7788757.45:Academic education and extra-curricular activities.46:It's about a person who is going to fight for his rights.47:Karlie.48:No, he is brown.49:Near the railway station.50:He is going to sit on the bench.。

For each of them, there are four 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. Questions 11—15 are based on the following passage:Happiness is becoming a huge area in psychological research and even in government policy, with the UK government explori ng a “happiness index”. It’s tough, though, to define exactly what happiness is, and what makes us happy.There are two broad ways of looking at happiness: short-term happiness (a great cookie, a bottle of wine) and long-term happiness (financial security, achieving your goals). Both types of happiness are valid, and important. The problem is, they’re often in competition.Let’s say you’ve got a goal of losing 50 pounds this year. You know you’d be happier and healthier if you weren’t carrying that extra we ight. To achieve long-term happiness, you need to go on a diet. In the short-term, though, it’s not that easy. A chocolate cake, or a large glass of wine, might seem like just the thing to cheer you up at the end of a long day – or to celebrate with friend s. It’s the same with lots of other goal s.If you’ve got a tendency to prioritize long-term happiness at the expense of day-to-day pleasures, you should start looking for some small ways to bring a little joy back into your life. I’m not suggesting that yo u go out and get drunk every might, or that you stuff yourself with cake. There are plenty of other ways to enjoy yourself. Don’t pin all your hopes of happiness on some far-off future, though. There’s no point working a 60-hour week and making yourself th oroughly miserable in the belief that things will be perfect as soon as you’re making a six-figure salary.11. A proper title for the passage is “________”.A. Happy ThereafterB. Beyond HappinessC. Happiness In, Happiness OutD. Happy Now or in the Future?12. Paragraph 2 is mainly about ________A. what makes us happy C. how we can be happierB. how to understand happiness D. what happiness can bring us13.The example in Paragraph 3 is meant to emphasize that ______.A. both short-term happiness and long-term happiness are importantB. we tend to seek short-term happiness instead of long-term happiness.C. people prefer long-term happiness to short-term happinessD. short-term happiness may contradict long-term happiness14.The word “prioritize” (last paragraph) probably means “______”A. treat something as more important than othersB. improve something’s value of qualityC. put extra emphasis on somethingD. look for something that is difficult to find15.The author suggests in the last paragraph that sacrificing short-term happiness of long-term happiness _______.A. works wellB. can be justifiedC. is not worthwhileD. makes no differenceQuestions 16-20 are based on the following passage:Thanks to the introduction of new drugs, many of the early problems in organ transplants, such as tissue rejection, have, to a great extent, now been solved..However, there remains a major problem. The people in need of transplant surgery far outnumber the available organs.Many countries, such as Britain, have huge waiting lists of people whose lives could be saved by being given a kidney, lung, heart, or liver transplant. Sadly, many of them die before they reach the top of those list.Under the present British policy, people are asked to carry donor (捐赠人) cards, and/or put their names on the national donor register. Thus, if they lose their lives suddenly, for example, in a traffic accident, they have given permission in advance of their deaths for their organs to be used. If they have not done so, surgeons are faced with the task of asking the grieved relatives for permission to use the organs of the dead. Of course, often the relatives are too upset even to think of such a thing until it is too late. Organ transplants have to take place quit soon after the death of the donor.Dying and donation organs is not something most of us like to think about, and only about14% of people have registered. Now it has been suggested that, instead of the present register, the should be a register of pote ntial donors who haven’t made up their minds.16.Nowadays a major problem in transplant surgery is _____.A. the shortage of qualified doctorsB .the lack of transplant organsC.. tissue rejectionD .immature techniques17.It can be inferred from the passage that transplant organs most likely come from ______.A. people who die in fatal accidentsB. criminals who are sentenced to deathC. patients who die from serious diseasesD. people who are mentally healthy18.What is the advantage of registering in advance to donate organs?A. The transplant may take place soon after the death of the donor.B. The donor’s relatives would agree with the surgery.C. More people would choose donation of their organs after death.D. Surgeons will not be liable to any legal consequences.19.The low percentage of people who have registered to donate organs indicates that ___________.A. the present register system doesn’t workB. dying and donating organs is an unpleasant issueC. very few people know how to donate their organsD. permission from relatives is hard to obtain20.What has been proposed to get more donor organs?A. Asking more people to register to donate organs after death.B. Having more people carry donor cards when they get around.C. Encouraging more people to consider organ donation through registering.D. Getting more people to donate organs by offering huge monetary rewards.Questions 21-25 are based on the following passage:Recently, the American Heart Association surveyed 1000 people nation wide about their thoughts on sodium and heart health. 61% said that they believed sea salt was a low-sodium alternative to table salt. They can be forgiven for thinking so. Sea salt is marketed as ahealthy food, added to soups, potato chips and a wide variety of packaged snacks labeled “low sodium”, “all n atural’ and “healthy” . But in reality, sea salt and table salt are not terribly different, at least chemically. The real differences are in how the two are used in cooking.Table salt comes from underground salt deposits. Companies that sell it typically add something to keep it from clumping (结块) . During processing , table salt is stripped of many of its natural minerals . Sea salt, on the other hand , is made from evaporated seawater . With little processing , it retains most of its minerals , which some cooks say give it a better flavor .But both contain the same amount of sodium chloride (氢化钠) by weight, which means they contribute equally to total sodium consumption and have the same effect on blood pressure. Officials recommend that adults consume no more than 2,300 milligrams of sodium a day , equivalent to a teaspoon of salt .You should eat less if you are black , hypertensive (患高血压) or older than 40 . Yet most Americans consume more than double the amount they need , mostly from processed foods, so it is best to limit salt – of any kind.21.According to the survey , more than half the people believe that ________.A. table salt should be used in cookingB. it is necessary to eat sea saltC. sea salt is a high-sodium productD. sea salt is a healthier choice than table salt22.The difference between table salt and sea salt lies in that table salt ________.A. contains less natural minerals than sea saltB. forms clumps more easily than sea saltC. tastes better than sea saltD. goes through less processing than sea salt23.The word “strip” in Para. 2 is close st in mean ing to “________”.A. breakB. addC. removeD. change24. According to the passage , the proper amount of salt consumption is related to one’s ________.A. appetiteB. ageC. sexD. weight25. According to the passage , Americans ________.A. consume much more salt than they actually needB. consume about 2.300 milligrams of salt a dayC. prefer fresh food to salted processed foodD. try to limit their salt consumption of any kindQuestions 26-30 are based on the following chart :Position Open Advertise Position Review applicants interview Make job offers Com. offer Applicants accept offer Contract, training Review other interviewsOffer job to alternate Consider other options Call, filling Follow-up, filling NO NO YES YES YESNO NO YES26.

2011年11月学位英语真题及超详细答案

北京地区成人本科学士学位英语统一考试真题答案超详解(2011年11月07日)Passage 1The reflective towers of New York City, which is on the Atlantic migrating(迁徙的)route , can be deadly for birds. “We live in an age of glass,” said urel, an architect。

(76)“It can be a perfect mirror in certain lights, and the larger the glass, the more dangerous it is。

” About 90,000 birds are killed by flying into building in the city each year. Often, they strike the lower levels of glass towers after searching for food in nearby parks. Such crashes are the second-leading cause of death for migrating birds, after habitat(栖息地)loss, with an estimated number of death ranging up to a billion a year。

(77)As glass office and apartment towers have increased in the last decade, so, too, have calls to make them less deadly to birds. San Francisco adopted bird-safety standard for new building in July. The United States Green Building Council, a nonprofit industry group that encourages the creation of environmentally conscious buildings, will introduce a bird-safety credit this as part of its environmental certification process。

The Antarctica treaty applies to all areas (the high seas excepted) below latitude 60 degrees south. This line, running around the globe some2,000 miles from the South Pole itself, just misses the lower tip of South America,and is well below the Cape of Good Hope and New Zealand. There are a number ofsmall islands between this line and the Antarctic continent, but the waters here areknown to mariners as "the screaming Sixties" because there is so little obstruction tothe world-circling winds.In contrast, in the northern hemisphere, the lands lying above the sixtiethparallel of latitude include much of Scandinavia, Siberia and Alaska, all ofGreenland and Iceland, with a total population of several million. Great mountainshelp subdue the winds; a spur of the Gulf Stream and part of the Japan Currenttemper the frigid airs of this polar region. This, and the presence of the Arctic Oceanin the center of the great land mass, give the area a markedly different conformationand climate from that around the opposite pole.Antarctica seems a vast basin of rock, filled and overflowing with a load of ice.In the heart of the continent it is almost as high as the summits of the Alps, yetsoundings show that in some places the rock floor is below sea level.Actually, the ice accumulation is less than it was perhaps 1,000 years ago. Itsseaward flow is not so voluminous as it once was, and as a result there are patches ofbare rock here and there along the coast and inland. They were scoured clear of soilages ago, but one may sometimes find moss or lichens growing, though virtually noflowering plants.41. Unlike the North Pole, the South Pole isA. not fixed in one positionB. the same as the South Magnetic PoleC. on land covered with iceD. on water42. The large area in the southern hemisphere is taken up byA. the major part of South AmericaB. oceansC. AustraliaD. Africa43. The makers of the Antarctic Treaty clearly wanted toA. prevent the Russians from settling in AntarcticaB. prevent possession or control by any nationC. conserve its natural resourcesD. insure the safety of the natives of Antarctica44. Land animals on the Antarctic continentA. are insects onlyB. are relics of the prehistoric pastC. are fur-bearing animals and cold-bloodedD. exist only in the fossil stateQuestions 45 to 48 are based on the following passage:出自课本《11.Smoking and Cancer吸烟和癌》Americans smoke six thousand million cigarettes every year (1970 figures).This is roughly the equivalent of 4,195 cigarettes a year for every person in the country of 18 years of age or more. It is estimated that 51% of American men smoke compared with 34% of American women.Since 1939, numerous scientific studies have been conducted to determine whether smoking is a health hazard. Research teams have conducted studies that show beyond all reasonable doubt that tobacco smoking, particularly cigarette smoking is associated with a shortened life expectancy.Cigarette smoking is believed by most research workers in this field to be an important factor in the development of cancer of the lungs and cancer of the throat. Male cigarette smokers have a higher death rate from heart disease thannon-smoking males. (Female smokers are thought to be less affected because they do not breathe in the smoke so deeply.) The majority of doctors and researchers consider these relationships proved their point and say, "Give up smoking. If you don't smoke--don't start!"Some doctors and research workers--though their small number is decreasedeven further--are less sure of the effect of cigarette smoking on health. They consider the increase in respiratory diseases and various forms of cancer may possibly be explained by other factors in the human environment--atmospheric pollution, increased nervous stress, chemical substance in processed food, or chemical pesticides that are now being used by farmers in large quantities to destroyinsects and small animals. Smokers who develop cancer or lung diseases, they say, may also, by coincidence, live in industrial areas or eat more canned food. Gradually, however, research is isolating all other possible factors and proving them to be statistically irrelevant.Apart from the scientific statistics, it might be helpful to look at what smoking tobacco actually does to the human body. Smoke is a mixture of gases, vaporized chemicals, small particles of ash, and other solids. There is also nicotine, which is a powerful poison, and black tar. As the smoke is breathed in, all these components form deposits on the membranes of the lungs. One point of concentration is where the air tube, or bronchus, divides. Most lung cancer begins at this point.Smoking also affects the heart and blood vessels. It is known to be related to Beurger's disease, a narrowing of the small vessels in the hands and feet that can cause great pain and lead even to the amputation of limbs.While all tobacco smoking affects life and expectancy and health, cigarette smoking appears to have a much greater effect than cigar or pipe smoking. However, nicotine consumption is not decreased by the latter forms, and current research shows a causal relationship between all forms of smoking and cancer of the mouth and throat. Filters and low tar tobacco are claimed to make smoking to some extent safer, but they can only reduce, not eliminate the hazards.45. What can we mainly get from the passage?A. Smoking is harmful to health.B. Women smokers are healthier than men smokers.C. The increased diseases have something to do with pollution.D. Smoking cigarettes is more harmful than smoking pipes.46. Cigarette smoking is believed by doctors to __A. reduce nervous stressB. causes lung and throat cancerC. make life shorter but excitingD. broaden the blood vessels47. Women smokers have a lower death rate than men smokers because __A. women smoke light cigarettesB. women smoke less cigarettesC. women's bodies can prevent nicotineD. women don't breathe in the smoke so deeply48. What is Beurger's disease?A. It is a kind of lung cancer.B. It happens in the hands and feet.C. It happens in the heart while smokingD. It is a kind of throat disease.Questions 49 to 52 are based on the following passage:(课外文章)From National to InternationalDo you have what it takes?It's our job to help you make that leap.The world is waiting. Are you ready?Is your small business ready to make that next step and expand abroad? A recent survey estimates that up to 40% of all small businesses are intending to do just that. Is your business making up this 40%? Making that move and expanding into the international market requires a different approach from the one you're used to. On a national level, it is often enough to sell the right products at the right price.

As a result, many users now findthey can't write even familiar words though they can type them quickly and correctly on a computer keyboard. To make matters worse, some people even forget how to write at all. Currently, 90 percent of students in America, a nation which has completely adapted to everyday use of computers and the Internet, are unable to write properly and clearly because they have been typing onto keyboards since early childhood. Many younger teachers also have trouble writing clearly on blackboard.A university student never imagined that he would lose the chance to get his first job because of his handwriting problem. Another student, for fear that she wouldn't be able to write well when doing the test papers for the university entrance examination, quit using a computer for two months before the exam."It is not surprising," an expert of psychological medicine said. "The occurrence can be attributed to several factors. Firstly, it's the result of social developments and the work needs of constant computer use. Secondly, it relates to introverted(内向的) personal character and lack of self-control abilities especially for those students who indulge in playing computer games."Experts also think that many activities on computers make people's thoughts simplified, which also affects their lives in other aspects, such as how they communicate with others and the way they think.Writing can strengthen human body's functions in psychology and physiology, which cannot be substituted by typing into a computer. Relevant research indicates that inscribing or drawing something on paper can leave a deep impression in the language processing areas of the central nervous system in the brain. This process does not occur when typing on a computer.Experts' tips are arranging work time well and paying particular attention to not working in front of the screen for long periods of time and trying to read books and writing down something, such as keeping a diary or making notes with a pen regularly--it's a good way to strengthen the formation of words in one's memory.53. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in this passage as a negative result ofa user's constant work at a computer?A. Harm for his physical conditions.B. Unsatisfactory personality.C. Problems in his communication with others.D. Deteriorated memory.54. According to the experts, __A. the user's problem in handwriting is helplessB. writing with a pen is also necessary besides typingC. computer users need more communication with othersD. there should be more healthful computer games available55. The word "tips" in the last paragraph means __A. warningsB. predictionsC. suggestionsD. analysis56. The title of this passage might be_A. Harms of Typing at the ComputerB. Keep Away From Your ComputerC. The Advantages of HandwritingD. Pick Up Your Pencils and WriteQuestions 57 to 60 are based on the following passage(课外文章,中石油职称英语网模拟考场“课外题库”阅读理解之一)In 1939 two brothers, Mac and Dick McDonald started a drive-in restaurant inSan Bernardino, California. They carefully chose a busy comer for their location.They had run their own businesses for years, first a theater, then a barbecuerestaurant, then another driven-in, but in their new operation, they offered a new,shortened menu: French fries, hamburgers, and sodas. To this minimal selection theyadded one new concept: quick service, no waiters or waitresses, and no tips.Their hamburgers sold for fifteen cents. Cheese was another four cents. TheirFrench fries and hamburgers had a remarkable uniformity, for the brothers haddeveloped a strict routine for the preparation of their food, and they insisted on theircooks' sticking to that routine. Their new drive-in became incredibly popular,particularly for lunch. People drove up by the hundreds during the busy noontime.The self-service restaurant was so popular that the brothers had allowed ten copiesof their restaurant to be opened. They were content with this modest success untilthey met Ray Kroc.Kroc was a salesman who met the McDonald brothers in 1954, when he wasselling milkshake-mixing machines. He quickly saw the unique appeal of thebrothers' fast-food restaurants and bought the right to franchise other copies of theirrestaurants. The agreement struck included the right to duplicate the menu, theequipment, even their red and white buildings with the golden arches.Today McDonald's is literally a household name. Its names for its sandwicheshave come to mean hamburger in the decades since the day Ray Kroc watchedpeople rush up to order fifteen-cent hamburgers. In 1976, McDonald's had over $1billion in total sales. Its first twenty-two years is one of the most incredible successstories in modern American business history.57. This passage is mainly about __A. the business careers of Mac and Dick McDonaldB. how the brothers developed the routine for the preparation of their foodC. Ray Kroc's business abilitiesD. the development of fast-food services58. We can conclude from this passage that __A. Mac and Dick McDonald never became wealthy because they sold their ideato KrocB. Ray Kroc was a good businessmanC. the location the McDonalds chose was the only source of the great popularityof their drive-inD. seventy years ago there were numerous fast-food restaurants59. The passage suggests that __A. creativity is an important element of successB. Ray Kroc spent long hours working in the first McDonald'sC. the McDonalds sold only fresh homegrown vegetablesD. California is the best place to go into business60. As used in Para.3, the word "franchise" meansA. to copyB. to grant a special rightC. to depriveD. to follow the exampleSection BDirections: There are 10 blanks in the following passage.

Asia has a history ofhuge earthquakes within its borders.What causes these earthquakes? To answer this question we must firstunderstand some things about the earth itself. The earth's crust is composed of many different layers of rocks. These layers of rocks are not laid evenly, as a bricklayer would build a wall. On the contrary, areas of the earth's crust are irregular and weak. As a result of the great stress that is put on these parts of the crust, the rock beds fold down towards the earth's core, which results in unstable spots along the earth's crust.This instability results in breaks along the crust. When a break occurs, or when two different sides of the crust rub against each other, the result is an earthquake. Geologists would like to be able to predict earthquakes accurately by usinglaser beams, gravity-measuring devices and some other devices. Should predictions of a quake in the future be accurate, many people may be able to save both their lives and their property.。

Why would human evolve(进化) a 21 that puts us at a social disadvantage by 22 us to reveal that we have cheated or lied.Charles Darwin pointed out that 23 all people of all races blush, animals do not. When it came to explaining the reason, he was 24 a loss. That has not stopped others from trying.One 25 is that blushing started out as a way to show we obey authoritative members of the group. Later, as our social interactions became26 complex, it became involved with higher, self-conscious 27 such as guilt, shame and embarrassment. This would seem to put individuals ata disadvantage, but blushing might actually make it a person more 28 or socially desirable.29 that women blush more than men, one university researcher suggests that blushing might have evolved as a way for women to 30 their honesty to men so as to win their support in raising children. Some zoologists also think blushing could have emerged as away to foster trust. "If you were to go hunting31 a stone-faced partner, you could never 32 what he wants." he says. Once blushing became 33 with embarrassment, anyone who did not blush might have been at a disadvantage because we are 34 likely to trust someone who appears never to feel 35 about anything.21.A.response B.reply C.reflection D.recall22.A.forbidding B.forcing C.encouraging D.preventing23.A.when B.while C.since D.because24.A.on B.in C.at D.of25.A.suggestion B.advice C.solution D.question26.A.apparently pletely C.awkwardly D.increasingly27.A.moods B.senses C.emotions D.tempers28.A.privileged B.embarrassed C.energetic D.attractive29.A.Noting B.Providing C.Assuming D.Hoping30.A.assure B.approve C.confirm D.demonstrate31.A.for B.with C.by D.as32.A.say B.speak C.tell D.talk33.A.united B.related C.contacted D.associated34.A.more B.that C.less D.so35.A.ashamed B.disappointed C.satisfied D.pleasedIV. Reading Comprehension (60 points)Directions: There are five reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by five questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose one best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answe r Sheet.Passage OneJune came and the hay(干草) was almost ready for cutting. On Midsummer's Eve, which was a Saturday, Mr. Jones went into Willington 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 were st ill 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 stuck with the horns and kicked from all sides. The situation was quite out of their control. They had never seen 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.36.The four men did not feed the cows because ______.A.they had not cut the hay yetB.Mr. Jones wasn't at homeC.they did not have time to feed themD.the cows had fed themselves37.The cows broke into the storehouse because ______.A.they did not like their mastersB.Mr. Jones forgot to lock the doorC.they were kept in the cow-house too longD.they were too hungry to wait for the feed38.What did the five men finally do with the cows?A.They chased and drove the cows away.B.They continued beating the cows.C.They gave up defense and ran away.D.They gave in and fed the cows.39.We can learn from the passage that ______.A.the cows often ran out to look for foodB.the cows often had fights with their mastersC.Mr. Jones and his men often beat the cowsD.Mr. 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, GovMint. com is releasing these coins to the public for an amazingly low price. For a limited time, these authentic silver dollars are priced at $49 plus shipping and handling -- a dramatic reduction from the market price of this coin anywhere else worldwide.40.What surprised the fishermen on an August morning?A.Their net contained a big strange-looking fish.B.They found the treasure sunken 210 years ago.C.They found some pieces of a sunken ship in the net.D.Their net suddenly got caught by something deep in the water.41.What happened to the ship heading for New Orleans in 1874?.A.Loaded with too much cargo, it hit on the rocks.B.Robbed by pirates, it cost $100,000,000's worth of goods.C.It disappeared but nobody knew exactly what had happened.D.It was caught in a terrible storm and went down into the ocean.42.What do we know about "Spanish Silver Dollars"?A.Today one coin equals to 49 dollars in the world market.B.They were widely used in America after the Civil War.C.Issued in small amounts, not many of them survive.D.They were officially accepted in the 13 colonies.43.In which section of a magazine would you probably find this article?A.Sports.B.Housing.C.History.D.Fashion.Passage ThreeThe environment affects the way people interact. To examine this conclusion, two researchers "decorate" 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 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 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 and green.Lighting also affects behavior. Elegant restaurants with dim lighting create a mood of intimacy(亲密) 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 Y ear's Eve party cannot be expected to create a serene climate in which to study for final exams.44.Paragraph 1 shows that subjects in the ugly room tend to be ______.A.less patientB.less considerateC.more enthusiasticD.more confident45.Which color is the most helpful for keeping a good mood?A.GreenB.BlueC.OrangeD.Red46.What effect can dim lights of an eating environment bring about?A.Arousing active thinking.B.Improving work efficiency.C.Creating a tense atmosphere.D.Stimulating talks among people.47.The underlined word"serene" in the last sentence is closest in meaning to ______.A.serious and graveB.calm and peacefulC.pleasant and friendlyD.cold 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 imp lants(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 2007, surgeons performed about 806,000 hip and knee implant (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 orthopaedic surgeon (矫形外科医生) at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. A study published in 2007 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 rate 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.48.What is the problem with hip or knee replacements in the U.S.?A.A lot of patients need a second operation.B.Doctors are not well trained to ensure successful operations.C.Demands for hip replacements exceed the number of surgeons.D.Replacement operation is becoming too expensive in U.S. hospitals.49.Why does Sweden have a lower rate of hip implant failure?A.Sweden has more advanced technology.B.Sweden has a patient data collecting system.C.Sweden has a much larger number of patients.D.Swedish doctors are most responsible and skillful.50.The U.S. Is trying to reduce joint replacement failure rate by ______.A.strictly controlling the number of replacement operations.B.asking hospitals to follow up each case for 12-18 months.C.setting up a national joint replacement database.D.sending doctors to be trained in Sweden.51.People who need a new knee or hip would possibly feel ______ about data gathering in the U.S.A.indifferentB.assuredC.puzzledD.hopefulPassage 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 Y orker, 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(昏昏欲睡的) America, however, The Saturday Evening Post seemed to play to conventions while The New Y orker took off to redefine the character of American Humor.52.According to Paragraph 1, who are primarily the readers of the Post?A.Businessmen.B.College students.C.HousewivesD.Politicians.53.What is the earliest time that readers can read the Post every week?A.Monday.B.ThursdayC.SaturdayD.Sunday54.Why did the Post lose much of its audience in the 1930s?A.It changed its original style and was heavily involved in politics.B.Readers couldn't afford a newspaper because of the Depression.C.The new editor was not interested in Roosevelt's politics.D.It failed to absorb sufficient advertisements.55.What makes the Post so commercially successful?A.Presenting American style humor.B.Sticking to the tastes of the middle-class.C.Carrying articles and novels by local writers.D.Staying in close contact with the business world.V. Daily Conversation(15 points)Directions:Pick out the appropriate expressions from the eight choices below and complete the following dialogues by blackeni ng the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.A.When do you need itB. Do you have any availableC. What do you meanD. May I come over tomorrow to take a lookE. Can I leave a messageF.

What kind of apartment are you interested in?Sarah: I'm interested in a one-bedroom apartment. 56 ?Manager: Y es, I have one. 57 ?Sarah: Sometime around next week. 58 ?Manager: Well, it's a one-bedroom apartment. The monthly rent is $650, with a $300 security deposit. Y oupay electricity only. Gas and water is included. Y ou can use a sheltered parking space at no extracharge. And ... 59 .Sarah: Sounds good. 60 ?Manager: Sure. See you tomorrow then.VI. Writing(25 points)Directions:For this part ,you are supposed to write an essay in English in 100~120 words based on the following information. Remember to write it clearly.61. 请以低碳生活(a low carbon life)为主题写一篇100-120词的短文,内容包括:·流行低碳生活的背景(如:极端气候、各种灾害、环境污染等);·实施低碳生活的若干方式(如家庭生活、工作学习、外出旅游中的节约行为等);·低碳生活带来的积极影响。

For each of them, there are four 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. Questions 11—15 are based on the following passage:Happiness is becoming a huge area in psychological research and even in government policy, with the UK governmet exploring a ―happiness index‖. It‘s tough, though, to define exactlywhat happiness is, and what makes us happy.There are two broad ways of looking at happiness: short-term happiness (a great cookie, a bottle of wine) and long-term happiness (financial security, achieving your goasl). Both types of happiness are valid, and important. The problem is, they‘re often in competition.Let‘s say you‘ve got a goal of losing 50 pounds this year. You know you‘d be happier and healthier if you weren‘t carrying that extra weight. To achieve long-term happiness, you need to go on a diet. In the short-term, though,it‘s not that easy. A chocolate cake, or a large glass of wine, might seem like just the thing to cheer you up at the end of a long day – or to celebrate with friends. It‘s the same with lots o f other goasl.If you‘ve got a tendency to prioritize long-term happiness at the expense of day-to-day pleasures, you should start looking for some small ways to bring a little joy back into your life. I‘m not suggesting that you go out and get drund every might, or that you stuff yourself with cake. There are plenty of other ways to enjoy yourself. Don‘t pin all your hopes of happiness on some far-off future, though. There‘s no point working a 60-hour week and making yourself thoroughly miserable in the be lief that things will be perfect as soon as you‘re making a six-figure salary.11. A proper title for the passage is ―________‖.A. Happy Thereafter B Beyond HappinessC. Happiness In, Happiness OutD. Happy Now or in the Future?12. Paragraph 2 is mainly about _______A. what makes us happy C. how we can be happierB. how to understand happiness D.what happiness can bring us13.The example in Paragraph 3 is meant to emphasize that ______.A.both short-term happiness and long-term happiness are importantB.we tend to seek short-term happiness instead of long-term happiness.C.people prefer long-term happiness to short-term happinessD.short-term happiness may contradict long-term happiness14.The word ―prioritize‖ (last paragraph) probably means ―______‖A. treat something as more important than othersB. improve something‘s value of qualityC. put extra emphasis on somethingD. look for something that is difficult to find15.The author suggests in the last paragraph that sacrificing short-term happiness of long-term happiness _______.A. works wellB. can be justifiedC. is not worthwhileD. makes no differenceQusetions 16-20 are based on the following passage:Thanks to the introduction of new drugs, many of the early problems in organ transplants, such as tissue rejection, have, to a great extent, now been solved..However, there remains a major problem. The people in need of transplant surgery far outnumber the available organs.Many countries, such as Britain, have huge waiting lists of people whose lives could be saved by being given a kidney, lung, heart, or liver transplant. Sadly, many of them die before they reach the top of those list.Under the present British policy, people are asked to carry donor (捐赠人) cards, and/or put their mames on the national donor register. Thus, if they lose their lives suddenly, for example, in a traffic accident, they have given permission in advance of their deaths for their organs to be used. If they have not done so, surgeons are faced with the task of asking the grieved relatives for permission to use the organs of the dead. Of course,often the relatives are too upset even to think of such a thing until it is too late. Organ transplants have to take place quit soon after the death of the donor.Dying and donation organs is not something most of us like to think about, and only about 14% of people have registered. Now it has been suggested that, instead of the present register, the should be a register of potential donors who haven‘t made up their minds.16.Nowadays a major problem in transplant surgery is _____.A. the shortage of qualified doctorsB .the lack of transplant organsC.. tissue rejectionD .immature techniques17.It can be inferred from the passage that transplant organs most likely come from ______.A. people who die in fatal accidentsB. criminals who are sentenced to deathC. patients who die from serious diseasesD. people who are mentally healthy18.What is the advantage of registering in advance to donate organs?A. The transplant may take place soon after the death of the donor.B. The donor‘s relatives would agree with the surgery.C. More people would choose donation of their organs ofter death.D. Surgeons will not be liable to any legal consequences.19.The low percentage of people who have registered to donate organs indicates that ___________.A.the present register system doesn‘t workB.dying and donating organs is an unpleasant issueC.very few people know how to donate their organsD.permission from relatives is hard to obtain20.What has been proposed to get more donor organs?A. Asking more people to register to donate organs after death.B. Having more people carry donor cards when they get around.C. Encouraging more people to consider organ donation through registering.D.Getting more people to donate organs by offering huge monetary rewards.Questions 21-25 are based on the following passage:Recently, the American Heart Association surveyed 1000 people nation wide about their thoughts on sodium and heart health. 61% said that they believed sea salt was a low-sodium alternative to table salt. They can be forgiven for thinking so. Sea salt is marketed as a healthy fook, added to soups, potato chips and a wide variety of packaged snacks labeled ―low sodium‖, ―all matural‘ and ―healthy‖ . But in reality, sea salt and table salt are not terribly different, at least chemically. The real defferences are in how the two are used in cooking.Table salt comes from underground salt deposits. Companies that sell it typically add something to keep it from clumping (结块) . During processing , table salt is stripped of many of its natural minerals . Sea salt, on the other hand , is made from evaporated seawater . With little processing , it retains most of its minerals , which some cooks say give it a better falvor .But both contain the same amount of sodium chloride (氢化钠) by weight, which means they contribute equally to total sodium consumption and have the same effect on blood pressure. Officials recommend that adults consume no more than 2,300 milligrams of sodium a day , equivalent to a teaspoon of salt .You should eat less if you are black , hypertensive (患高血压) or older than 40 . Yet most Americans consume more than double the amount they need , mostly from processed foods, so it is best to limit salt – of any kind.21.According to the survey , more than half the people believe that ____,A.table salt should be used in cookingB.it is necessary to eat sea saltC.sea salt is a high-sodium productD.sea salt is a healthier choice than table salt22.The difference between table salt and sea salt lies in that table salt ___.A. contains less natural minerals than sea saltB. forms clumps more easily than sea saltC. tastes better than sea saltD. goes through less processing than sea salt23.The word ―strip‖ in Para. 2 is closet in mearing to ―______‖.A. breakB. addC. removeD. change24. According to the passage , the proper amount of salt consumption isrelated to one‘s __________ .A. appetiteB. ageC. sexD. weight25. According to the passage , Americans ______.A.consume much more salt than they actually needB.consume about 2.300 milligrams of salt a dayC.prefer fresh food to salted processed foodD. try to limit their salt consumption of any kindQuestions 26-30 are based on the following chart :26.A proper title for the chart is ―_______‖.A.Schedule Chart for Job HuntingB.flow Chart for Recruitment ProcessC.Descriptive Chart for an Open Positionanization Chart for a Hiring Company27.The chart is probably designed for ___________.A.job applicantsB.school graduatesC.the company general managerD.the human resources department28.What happens right after the interview?A.The company will review other interviewees.

Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.Where do our favorite foods come from? The truth may 31 you. Did you know curry (咖哩)isn‘t Indian? Did you know Americans weren‘t the 32 to eat hamburgers? Or did you know pizz a wasn‘t created in Italy?First, let‘s talk about curry.

In fact, the word ―curry‖ can be found in the English language as far back as 1377. Cooks of wealthy English families created curry dishes, and later these 35 caught on in other parts of England.36 pizza, this dish was probably first made in Persia(what is now Iran).
