The way that seismic waves travel shows that the earth’s interior is far from uniform. The continents and the seabed are formed by the crust—a thin sphere of relatively light, solid rock. Beneath the crust lies the mantle, a very different layer that extends approximately halfway to the earth’s center. There the rock is the subject of a battle between increasing heat and growing pressure.3. In its high levels, the mantle is relatively cool; at greater depths, high temperatures make the rock behave more like a liquid than a solid. Deeper still, the pressure is even more intense, preventing the rock from melting in spite of a higher temperature.4. Beyond a depth of around 2,900 kilometers, a great change takes place and the mantle gives way to the core. Some seismic waves cannot pass through the core and others are bent by it. From this and other evidence, geologists conclude that the outer core is probably liquid, with a solid center. It is almost certainly made of iron, mixed with smaller amount of other elements such as nickel.5. The conditions in the earth’s core make it a far more alien world than space. Its solid iron heart is subjected to unimaginable pressure and has a temperature of about 9,000° F. Although scientists can speculate about its nature, neither humans nor machines will ever be able to visit it.51. The word “conflicting” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ________.A. controllingC. importantB. outdated D. opposing B. disagree with each other D. have found enough evidenceB. sound waves D. radio waves6 52. The geologists _________ about the nature of the earth’s interior. A. agree with each other C. are sure 53. Seismic waves are _________ . A. pulses of energy C. electromagnetic waves54. The way that seismic waves travel shows that ________.A. the interior of the earth is rockB. the interior of the earth is divided into different layersC. the interior of the earth is metal55. The word “there” at the end of Paragraph 2 refers to the ________.A. seabedC. mantle B. crustD. earth’s center56. What is true about the mantle?A. It is similar to the crust.B. It is a very thin layer of the earth.C. It is cooler as it goes deeper.57. The phrase “gives way to” in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to ________.A. runs alongC. turns intoA. mantleC. changeA. liquidC. solid B. rubs againstD. floats on B. core D. depth B. made of iron D. mixed with nickel 58. The word “it” in Paragraph 4 refers to the _________. 59. The inn er core of the earth is NOT __________.60. Why does the author state that the earth’s core is “more alien” than space?A. Because government funds are not interested in the characteristics of the earth’s core.B. Because scientists are not interested in the characteristics of the earth’s core.C. Because the pressure and high temperature there prevent scientists from doing research.D. Because the earth’s core is made of elements that are dangerous to humans.Ⅵ. Directions: Passage 5 is taken from the TEXTBOOK. Read the passage carefully and choose the best answer. Write the corresponding letter of the answer on your ANSWER SHEET. (10 points, 1 points for each)Passage 52. If population growth continues at its present pace, the future balance between food 75. Solar energy is available in various forms. Buildings can be heated and cooled by direct use of solar radiation, crops and trees, which are the most efficient converters of sunlight into energy, can be grown for their energy potential, wastes can be burned as fuel, sunlight can be converted into DC (direct current) electricity, electricpower can be derived from the sun-warmed surface waters of the ocean (ocean thermal power), lastly, solar radiation can be converted to heat that will drive electric power generators (solar thermal power). Serious problems still remain as to transportation and storage of solar energy.7. Nuclear energy is produced in nuclear power plants. At these plants atoms of uranium are split, thus releasing masses of energy. Another source of energy under development is the nuclear fusion of certain atoms of hydrogen. This could eventually replace natural gas as a source of energy.8. In future trade the key development to watch is the relationship between the industrialized and the developing nations. Third World countries export their mineral deposits and tropical agricultural products, which bring them desired foreign exchange. Tourism has also been greatly responsible for the rapid development of some developing nations. Western Europe has received millions of such workers from Mediterranean countries.9. The developing nations profit when these workers bring their savings and their acquired technical skills back home. Many developing nations benefit when Western nations establish manufacturing in their countries to take advantage of cheap labor.10. As economies mature, economic growth rates tend to level off. The rate of population growth is leveling off today in Western nations. This leveling-off eventually leads to static The 8Next 200 Years, says that a shift in priorities will have to occur for industrialized nations. No longer is the creation of money and jobs essential, it is rather the improvement of the quality of life that must be our concern. Today pollution is of major concern for industrialized nations. Environmentalists are worried about the relationship between industrial objectives and preserving the environment. In developing nations, however, the problem of pollution is ignored for the sake of development.11. The Western World will eventually move to a period of relatively low economic growth, coupled with a high rate of unemployment. A so-called welfare society will emerge. The unemployed in the new welfare society will be taken care of by the employed through generous contributions to the social welfare system.12. Political questions remain as to the world’s future. We can only speculate as to whether would greatly enhance world trade.61. If population growth continues at its present pace, how can people keep the balance between food demand and supply?A. People should increase the consumption of meat.B. People should increase the consumption of low protein food.C. People should turn to new dietary patterns.D. People should produce more crops.62. Trade growth will depend greatly on ___________.A. energy sourcesB. dietary patternsC. increased consumption of soybeansD. increased yields on existing croplands63. The oil crisis of 1974 caused ___________.A. countries to depend more on oilB. countries to find other energy sources to replace oil64. The problem with solar energy is that _________.9A. sunlight cannot be used directly for heating buildingsB. sunlight cannot be used to drive electric power generatorsC. it is difficult to transport and store solar energyD. it is difficult to convert sunlight into DC electricity65. Geothermal energy has not been exploited because ____________.B. it is not sufficient enoughC. little is known about exploratory technology66. Which of the following is NOT true according to paragraph 8?A. Third World countries export their mineral deposits so as to get foreign exchange.B. Workers in Third World countries emigrate to developed countries.C. Tourism will contribute much to the development of Third World countries.D. Some developing countries will absorb large numbers of foreign workers to work in their countries.67. Industrial nations show great concern for ____________.A. creation of new jobsB. pollution and environmental preservationC. high unemployment and low wagesD. the decreasing economic growth rate68. Which of the following is true according to Paragraph 10?A. Western nations are facing economic saturation.B. Developing countries pay much attention to the problem of pollution.C. As economies mature, economic growth rates tend to speed up.D. A welfare society will emerge in developing nations.69. In a welfare society ______________.A. people don’t need to work but can enjoy the welfare provided by their countriesB. more people will be laid off with the rapid growth of the economyC. rate of unemployment is very low due to low economic growthD. people who are out of work will be taken care of economically by their countries70. We can conclude from Paragraphs 12,13 and 14 that _________.B. the future of the international trade will depend on international consultation and cooperationC. there would be monetary cooperation between Western and Eastern European countriesD. future international liquidity reserves would influence growth in trade SECTION 3 QUESTIONS AND TRANSLATION (30 points)attention to the words, grammar and sentence structure in your answers. (15 points, 3 points for each)71. What energies will play a large role in the future?72. Which energy could eventually replace natural gas as a source of energy?What energy is it classified as?73. Why is it the key point in future trade to develop the relationship between the industrialized and the developing nations?74. Herman Kahn says in his book The Next 200 Years that a shift will occur for industrialized nations. What is the shift?75. What will happen if the IMF countries are not able to agree upon a new international monetary order in the future?Ⅷ.Directions: Translate the following sentences (taken from passage 5) in to Chinese and write the Chinese version in the corresponding space on your ANSWER SHEET. (15 points, 3 points for each)76. Reduced consumption of meat, increased used of new high protein food made from soybeans, and development of ocean resources for food are some alternatives that must be considered.78. Many Third World nations with high unemployment and low wages have seen an emigration of workers to the developed nations.79. A point of saturation sets in—technology and innovation have seemed to achieve the impossible, but then how much further can it go ?80. In the present political climate, this would seem impossible, although some cooperation agreements are already in effect.11121314。

Communication networks are arrangements of hardware and software that allow users to exchange information. This very broad definition will help you begin learning about one of the fastest-growing areas in electrical engineering and computer science. Once we examine some common communication networks, we will develop a more precise definition. We will elaborate on the importance of this field.2. The telephone network is the most familiar and ubiquitous communication network. It is designed for voice transmission. An office computer network is a communication network used byorganizations to connect personal computers and workstations so they may share programs and data and to link those computers to printers and, possibly, to some other peripherals(e.g., file servers that provide mass storage or plotters). Computer networks also are used in manufacturing plants to connect machine tools, robots, and sensors. The Internet is a network of computer networks that covers most of the world and allows millions of users to exchange messages and computer files and some limited video and audio signals. 3.Although all these systems are communication networks, they are quite different in the information that they transmit and in the way they are used. Nevertheless, they operate on similar principles. The unifying characteristics of all networks help us develop a definition of communication networks that describes the arrangements of hardware and software that we study in this text. Each system described is designed to exchange information, which may be voice, sounds, graphics, pictures, video, text, or data, among users. Most often the users are humans, but they also can be computer programs or devices. Before the information is transmitted, it is converted into bits(zeros or ones). Then the bits are sentto a receiver as electrical or optical signals (electromagnetic waves, to be more precise). Finally, the information is reconstructed from the received bits. This transmission method, called digital transmission, reduced the transmission errors.SECTION 2 READING COMPREHENSION(40 points)IV. Directions: Skim Passage 2 and read the statements given right after the passage and judge whether they are True or False. Write the corresponding answer you choose on your ANSWER SHEET.(10 points, 1 point for each)Passage 21.Everybody feels pain sometimes: the pain in the head that comes after eating ice cream or drinking cold water; the sudden muscular pain; the “stitch”that attacks long-distance runners or others whose activities have put great demands on the oxygen supply of the body. These transient pains are not cause for alarm; they usually disappear quickly, return rarely and signify very little.2.In contrast are the unusual, chronic, or exceptionally severe pains that require attention from a doctor, who can determine whether or not they require special care. Anginapectoris(pain of the chest) is a heart pain that lasts from two or three minutes to ten or fifteen. Identification is extremely important, because special drugs are needed for relief and the doctor’s understanding and advice may prevent recurrence of the condition.3.Only a doctor can recognize what are called referred pains. These originate at one point, but are felt at another to which they have been carried by the nerves. A person with continuous pain becomes irritated, tired easily, has difficulty in sleeping, loses appetite, and may even become the victim of what has been called an anxiety state or nervous breakdown. Few diseases develop without pain at some state, and many involve so characteristic a pain as to make diagnosis certain. Whenever a pain is so severe, so prolonged, and so unusual as to arouse alarm, a doctor should be consulted.31.Transient pains should usually be investigated.32.All chronic pains require special care.33.Angina pectoris would probably be classified as unusual.34.Chronic and referred pains are alike in that both last for a long time.35.Pains can be useful as a signal of the presence of disease.36.Transient pains are different from referred pains.37.Pains can serve as an aid in the diagnosis of disease.38.A person with continuous pains is usually good-tempered.39.Chronic pains are felt some distance from their source.40.All chronic pains can be identified and treated.V. Directions: Read Passages 3 and 4 and choose the correct answer. Write the corresponding letter of the answer on your ANSWER SHEET.(20 points, 1 point for each)Passage 31.Every year a great number of babies and young children die or are injured in fires. One out of every five fires is caused by careless smoking or by children playing with matches and lighters. Don’t tempt children by leaving matches or lighters around a room.2.Never leave a child alone in a house. In just a few seconds they could start a fire. Or a fire could start and trap them. A child will panic in a fire and will not know what to do. Unless a parent is around to help, a child may try to hide under a bed or in a closet. Home fire drills are a sound idea. The best way to stop panic in case of fire is to know what to do before a fire breaks out.3.Your first thought in a fire should always be escape. Far too many people become victims because they do not know the killing power and speed of fire. If a fire is very small and has just started, you can put it out yourself. Do this if you have the proper tools on hand. In any case always send the children outside first. Smoke, not fire, is the real killer in a blaze. According to studies, as many as eight out of ten deaths in fires are due to inhaling fumes long before the flames ever came near the person.4.Burns are another hazard to tots. Fireplaces, space heaters, floor furnaces, and radiators have all caused horrible burns to babies. Since you cannot watch your child all the time, you must screen fireplaces. Put guards around heaters and radiators.5.Some people use a vaporizer or portable heater in a child’s room. If you do, be sure you place it out of reach. Be sure, too, that it is not placed too close to blankets or bedclothes.e care in the kitchen. It is not safe to let an infant crawl or a small child walk around the kitchen while you are preparing meals. There is danger of your tripping and spillingsomething hot on the child. There is even danger of a child pulling in a hot pot off the stove on to herself. Also, do not use tablecloths that hang over the table edge. Children can easily pull the cloth and whatever is on the table down. Be aware of these dangers and protect your child.41. The best title of the passage can be ________.A. Better Safe Than SorryB. How to Protect ChildrenC. Escape From FireD. Be Careful in the Kitchen42. Careless smoking or children playing with matches and lighters causes ______.A. most deaths of childrenB. one out of five firesC. eight out of ten deaths in firesD. five out of ten fires43. A child will probably do the following in a fire EXCEPT ______.A. panickingB. not knowing what to doC. trying to hide under a bed or in a closetD. calling for help44. In paragraph 2, the word “sound” is closest in meaning to ________.A. healthyB. safeC. sensibleD. thorough45. The best way to stop panic in the case of fire is to ________.A. call a neighborB. be preparedC. call a policemanD. run away46. When caught in a fire, a person’s first thought should always be ________.A. panicB. preventionC. escapeD. putting out the fire47. The real killer in a fire is _________.A. smokeB. flamesC. fuelD. blaze48. Burns can be caused by _______.A. harmful toysB. bedclothesC. blanketsD. space heaters49. Which statement is NOT mentioned in the passage?A. Never leave a young child alone at home.B. Burns can be very dangerous to children.C. Place heaters out of the reach of children.D. Do not work in a kitchen when a child is in it.50. From the passage, we can infer that _______.A. adults know how to handle firesB. many children start fires in a houseC. some fire fighters are not well trainedD. adults are always very careful about fire.Passage 41. When Jules Verne wrote Journey to the Center of the Earth in 1864, there were many conflicting theories about the nature of the earth’s interior. Some geologists though that it contained a highly compressed ball of incandescent gas, while others suspected that it consisted of separate graphite shells, each made of a different material. Today well over a century later, there is still little direct evidence of what lies beneath our feet. Most of our knowledge of the earth’s interior comes not from mines or bore holes, but from the study of seismic waves—powerful pulses of energy released by earthquakes.2. The way that seismic waves travel shows that theearth’s interior is far from uniform. The continents and the seabed are formed by the crust—a thin sphere of relatively light, solid rock. Beneath the crust lies the mantle, a very different layer that extends approximately halfway to the earth’s center. There the rock is the subject of a battle between increasing heat and growing pressure.3. In its high levels, the mantle is relatively cool; at greater depths, high temperatures make the rock behave more like a liquid than a solid. Deeper still, the pressure is even more intense, preventing the rock from melting in spite of a higher temperature.4. Beyond a depth of around 2,900 kilometers, a great change takes place and the mantle gives way to the core. Some seismic waves cannot pass through the core and others are bent by it. From this and other evidence, geologists conclude that the outer core is probably liquid, with a solid center. It is almost certainly made of iron, mixed with smaller amount of other elements such as nickel.5. The conditions in the earth’s core make it a far more alien world than space. Its solid iron heart is subjected to unimaginable pressure and has a temperature of about 9,000° F.Although scientists can speculate about its nature, neither humans nor machines will ever be able to visit it.51. The word “conflicting” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ________.A. controllingB. outdatedC. importantD. opposing52. The geologists _________ about the nature of the earth’s interior.A. agree with each otherB. disagree with each otherC. are sureD. have found enough evidence53. Seismic waves are _________ .A. pulses of energyB. sound wavesC. electromagnetic wavesD. radio waves54. The way that seismic waves travel shows that ________.A. the interior of the earth is rockB. the interior of the earth is divided into different layersC. the interior of the earth is metalD. the crust and the mantle are composed of exactly the same substance55. The word “there” at the end of Paragraph 2 refers to the ________.A. seabedB. crustC. mantleD. earth’s center56. What is true about the mantle?A. It is similar to the crust.B. It is a very thin layer of the earth.C. It is cooler as it goes deeper.D. It is a completely different layer from the crust.57. The phrase “gives way to” in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to ________.A. runs alongB. rubs againstC. turns intoD. floats on58. The word “it” in Paragraph 4 refers to the _________.A. mantleB. coreC. changeD. depth59. The inner core of the earth is NOT __________.A. liquidB. made of ironC. solidD. mixed with nickel60. Why does the author state that the earth’s core is “more alien” than space?A. Because government funds are not interested in the characteristics of the earth’s core.B. Because scientists are not interested in the characteristics of the earth’s core.C. Because the pressure and high temperature there prevent scientists from doing research.D. Because the earth’s core is made of elements that are dangerous to humans.Ⅵ. Directions: Passage 5 is taken from the TEXTBOOK. Read the passage carefully and choose the best answer. Write the corresponding letter of the answer on your ANSWER SHEET. (10 points, 1 points for each)Passage 51. In spite of the difficulties of predicting future trends in world trade, we can specify factors that will be important. Some of these are: population growth; possible scarcity of commodities, the food and energy situation, relations with the Third World (developing nations), pressures to preserve the environment, and international cooperation on political, social, economic, and monetary problems.2. If population growth continues at its present pace, thefuture balance between food demand and supply may become dependent on new dietary patterns. Reduced consumption of meat, increased use of new high protein food made from soybeans, and development of ocean resources for food are some alternatives that must be considered.3. As the population grows, prices of commodities will fluctuate. As countries endeavor to increase yields on existing croplands through intensified use of water, energy, and fertilizers, the cost of commodities will rise.4. Growth of trade will depend greatly on availability of energy sources. There may still be a trillion barrels of recoverable oil in the Middle East. But the oil crisis of 1974 has led to renewed interest in coal and to a search for alternative sources of energy. Solar, geothermal, and nuclear energy will play a large role in the years to come.5. Solar energy is available in various forms. Buildings can be heated and cooled by direct use of solar radiation, crops and trees, which are the most efficient converters of sunlight into energy, can be grown for their energy potential, wastes can be burned as fuel, sunlight can be converted into DC (direct current) electricity, electric power can be derivedfrom the sun-warmed surface waters of the ocean (ocean thermal power), lastly, solar radiation can be converted to heat that will drive electric power generators (solar thermal power). Serious problems still remain as to transportation and storage of solar energy.6. Geothermal energy is the energy contained within the earth. Heat is abundantly available deep in the earth’s core and is constantly being produced. However, this heat is usually located at too deep a level for commercial exploitation. Sometimes heat comes to the surface in the form of lava and geysers. In short, very little is know on the use of geothermal energy, and it has barely been exploited.7. Nuclear energy is produced in nuclear power plants. At these plants atoms of uranium are split, thus releasing masses of energy. Another source of energy under development is the nuclear fusion of certain atoms of hydrogen. This could eventually replace natural gas as a source of energy.8. In future trade the key development to watch is the relationship between the industrialized and the developing nations. Third World countries export their mineral deposits and tropical agricultural products, which bring them desiredforeign exchange. Tourism has also been greatly responsible for the rapid development of some developing nations. Many Third World nations with high unemployment and low wages have seen an emigration of workers to the developed nations. Western Europe has received millions of such workers from Mediterranean countries.9. The developing nations profit when these workers bring their savings and their acquired technical skills back home. Many developing nations benefit when Western nations establish manufacturing in their countries to take advantage of cheap labor.10. As economies mature, economic growth rates tend to level off. The rate of population growth is leveling off today in Western nations. This leveling-off eventually leads to static non-growth markets. A point of saturation sets in—technology and innovation have seemed to achieve the impossible, but then how much further can it go? Herman Kahn, in his book The Next 200 Years, says that a shift in priorities will have to occur for industrialized nations. No longer is the creation of money and jobs essential, it is rather the improvement of the quality of life that must be ourconcern. Today pollution is of major concern for industrialized nations. Environmentalists are worried about the relationship between industrial objectives and preserving the environment. In developing nations, however, the problem of pollution is ignored for the sake of development.11. The Western World will eventually move to a period of relatively low economic growth, coupled with a high rate of unemployment. A so-called welfare society will emerge. The unemployed in the new welfare society will be taken care of by the employed through generous contributions to the social welfare system.12. Political questions re main as to the world’s future. We can only speculate as to whether organized markets such as the Common Market and COMECON could eventually merge. In the present political climate, this would seem impossible, although some cooperation agreements are already in effect. Obviously a merger between the Western and Eastern European markets would greatly enhance world trade.13. International monetary cooperation will have a significant impact on future trade. If the IMF countries are not able to agree upon a new international monetary order inthe years to come, international trade may become too risky for some companies to get involved in . If the IMF is unable to create sufficient international liquidity reserves in the future, there may not be enough liquidity to sustain growth in trade.14. However, growing international consultation and cooperation in economic, monetary, and political matters will certainly contribute to the flourishing of world trade for years to come.61. If population growth continues at its present pace, how can people keep the balance between food demand and supply?A. People should increase the consumption of meat.B. People should increase the consumption of low protein food.C. People should turn to new dietary patterns.D. People should produce more crops.62. Trade growth will depend greatly on ___________.A. energy sourcesB. dietary patternsC. increased consumption of soybeansD. increased yields on existing croplands63. The oil crisis of 1974 caused ___________.A. countries to depend more on oilB. countries to find other energy sources to replace oilC. coal and nuclear energy to become less popularD. countries to become more and more indifferent to coal64. The problem with solar energy is that _________.A. sunlight cannot be used directly for heating buildingsB. sunlight cannot be used to drive electric power generatorsC. it is difficult to transport and store solar energyD. it is difficult to convert sunlight into DC electricity65. Geothermal energy has not been exploited because ____________.A. it is located too deep in earth’s core for commercial useB. it is not sufficient enoughC. little is known about exploratory technologyD. it often comes to the surface in the form of lava and geysers66. Which of the following is NOT true according to paragraph 8?A. Third World countries export their mineral deposits so as to get foreign exchange.B. Workers in Third World countries emigrate to developedcountries.C. Tourism will contribute much to the development of Third World countries.D. Some developing countries will absorb large numbers of foreign workers to work in their countries.67. Industrial nations show great concern for ____________.A. creation of new jobsB. pollution and environmental preservationC. high unemployment and low wagesD. the decreasing economic growth rate68. Which of the following is true according to Paragraph 10?A. Western nations are facing economic saturation.B. Developing countries pay much attention to the problem of pollution.C. As economies mature, economic growth rates tend to speed up.D. A welfare society will emerge in developing nations.69. In a welfare society ______________.A. people don’t need to work but can enjoy the welfare provided by their countriesB. more people will be laid off with the rapid growth of the economyC. rate of unemployment is very low due to low economic growthD. people who are out of work will be taken care ofeconomically by their countries70. We can conclude from Paragraphs 12,13 and 14 that_________.A. the Common Market and COMECON would eventually mergeB. the future of the international trade will depend oninternational consultation and cooperationC. there would be monetary cooperation between Western andEastern European countriesD. future international liquidity reserves would influencegrowth in tradeSECTION 3 QUESTIONS AND TRANSLATION (30 points)Ⅶ.

Science seems to be getting closer to answering a very old mystery. Homing pigeons can be taken hundred of miles from their home. When they are let go to fly again，they find their way home. Because of this special ability to find home，pigeons have been used as messengers for hundreds of years.2. Today people even keep homing pigeons for racing as a sport. The birds are shipped to some chosen place a few hundred miles away. Then all of them are let go together. The winner is the bird that goes home first. A good racer can make it home 500 miles away in a single day.3. The mystery of the homing pigeon is in how it navigates and how it finds home. It may be taken away in a covered-up cage，even a cage that is turned round and round to purposely mix up any sense of direction. To get home，it must fly over the country that it has never seen before.4. Suppose this were to happen to you What would you need to find your way home （besides a good pair of legs）I think I would ask for a compass，which always points north，to help find direction. I would want a map. If a map shows where my home is，then I can use the compass to point me in the direction toward home. What we are talking about shows the two parts of the problem of the homing pigeon. Much of the study of homing pigeons leads to the idea that pigeons need the same kinds of information. They need to know how to tell direction and they need something like a map to tell which direction is toward home.5. The first part seems to be pretty well answered，and we know of two ways that pigeons tell direction. First，they use the sun. Just getting rough direction from the sun is easy. It rises somewhere toward the east and sets somewhere toward the west. Getting accurate directions from the sun take more care. Y ou need to pay attention to the time of the year. Then you need to watch the path of the sun closely at each hour of the day. To tell direction accurately from the sun，a person need to know the exact time.6. All plants and animals that have been studied carefully （including the human ）seem to have built-in clocks. These biological clocks，as they are called，usually are not quite exact in measuring time. However，they work pretty well because they are reset each day，maybe when the sun comes up.7. Do pigeons use their biological clocks to help them find direction from the sun We can keep pigeons in a room lighted only by lamps. And we can time the lighting to make their artificial days start at some different time form the real outside day. After a while we have shifted their clocks. Now we take them far away from home and let them go on a sunny day. Most of them start out as if they know just which way to go，but choose a wrong direction. They have picked a direction that would be correct for the position of the sun and the time of day according to their shifted clocks.8. We have talked about one of the more complex experiments that leads to the belief that homing pigeons can tell directions by the sun. What happens when the sky is darkly overcast by clouds and no one can see where the sun is Then the pigeons still find their way home. The same experiment we talked about has been repeated many times on sunny days and the result was always the same. But on very overcast days those clock-shifted pigeons are just as good as normal pigeons in starting out in the right directions. So it seems that pigeons also have some extra sense of directions to use when they cannot see the sun.二、阅读理解（Reading comprehension）（30 points， 1 point for each）I. All the statements are closely related to Reading Passage 2. Skim over this passage and decide whether they are True or False. Write a “T” before true statements and an “F” before false ones.1. The first American astronaut to walk in space must have performed this feat in 1965.2. Before walking in outer space，astronauts have to learn how to control the movements of their bodies in an environment completely different form that on earth.3. Sputnik is the name of the first man-made satellite launched in space in 1858.4. According to the article，one of the reasons that a satellite can make a complete revolution round the earth in a much shorter period of time than the moon is that a satellite travels closer to the earth.5. It was probably in 1960 that the first spaceship containing a man was launched into space and made a short but successful flight.Reading Passage 21. The whole world seemed to be black，black nothingness. The sky was black with bright，shining stars that never twinkled. The sun，a white，burning disk，seemed to hang in the black velvet of the surrounding heavens. This was the scene that spread before the eyes of the first astronaut who left his spaceship to walk in outer space. The name of the Russian astronaut who performed this feat was Leonov，and the date of his walk in space was March 18，1965. Several months later a similar feat was performed by the first American astronaut to walk in space. Both of these space walkers had spent months previous to their flight learning how to control their movements under the strange conditions which exist in space. Wearing their thick space suits，they learned to deal with an environment where there is neither weight or gravity，neither up nor down.2. We do not realize how much we depend on the earth…s gravity until we are deprived of it. Then our feet no longer stay on the ground，we float around in the air，and the slightest touch may send us drifting off in the opposite direction.3. In the laboratories where astronauts are trained for their journey，they are subjected toconditions that resemble those of flight. It takes time for them to prepare for the great changes that occur in space. When the spaceship leaves the earth at tremendous speed，the astronauts feel as if they are being crushed against the spaceship floor. Later，when they leave the zone of the earth…s gravitation，they are unable to stay in one place. Simple actions，such as eating and drinking，become very difficult to perform. Y ou may get an inkling of what the astronauts have to deal with if you try to drink a glass of water while standing on your head or while just lying down.4. The beginnings of man…s conquest of space took place in 1958，seven years before Leonov‟s trip. The first successful launching of Sputnik demonstrated that it was indeed possible to send objects far enough out of range of earth…s gravity so that they would not fall back to earth. Rather，such objects could be forced to revolve about the earth，just as the moon does. However，while the moon is so far from earth that it takes it a month to revolve around the earth，man-made satellites，which are closer to earth，can make a complete revolution in a few hours.5. It was three years after the first satellite launching that a spaceship containing a man madea successful flight. The flight lasted less than two hours，but it pointed the way to future developments.II. Read Reading Passages 3 and 4.

As spring comes to the rough Bering Sea and the gigantic ice floes begin to melt，the water becomes alive with migrating animals. Both whales，the graceful giants of the deep，and sleek，gray seals can be seen swimming northward through narrow channels in the shifting ice. These animals，which have long been threatened by encroaching civilizations，may soon disappear from the Bering and other seas around the world unless protective measures are taken.2. For centuries whales，intelligent，air-breathing mammals，were abundant in the waters off the Alaskan coast；however，their isolated sanctuary was invaded by hunters in 1848 when an American whaling ship discovered the rich whaling area. During the next 60 years，whalers，in search of bone and oil，almost destroyed the entire whale population of the Bering Sea.Particularly harmed by the unrestricted commercial whaling were the slow-moving bowhead whales；so many of them were killed that the species never recovered. At present，the population of the bowhead is estimated at less than 3，000. According to many conservationists，it is the most endangered whale on earth.3. In an attempt to avoid the eradication of other whale species，countries interested in commercial whaling established the International Whaling Commission（IWC）in 1946. The IWC limits the number of whales that may be killed per year，and since 1973 the Commission has been steadily reducing its quotas. Today，only about seven countries still engage in commercial whaling. The reductions recommended by the IWC have brought loud cries of protest from countries with large whaling industries，especially Japan and the Soviet Union. These countries fear that their industries will not be able to survive such drastic cuts and that their national economies will suffer as a result. Although the IWC has no means of enforcing its regulations，since most whaling takes place in international water，the Japanese and the Soviets are reluctant to ignore them. Previous decisions to disregard whale quotas resulted in costly boycotts of Japanese and Russian products by American conservationists. The IWC would like to ban hunting of the endangered bowhead；however，this proposal has created a great deal of controversy in the United States due to strong protests from Alaskan Eskimos. The natives of Alaska resent the attempt to take away their hunting rights. For over 1，000 years，they have depended upon whales for the meat and raw materials necessary for survival in the Arctic. Present United States laws already strictly limit the number of whales that may be killed by each village；nevertheless，the population of the bowhead whale is critically low ― perhaps too low to survive even minimal hunting by the Eskimos4. Another animal of the Bering Sea that is faced with possible extinction is the northern fur seal，valued highly by hunters for its soft and durable fur. The Pribilof Islands，200 miles north of the Aleutian Islands off the Alaskan coast，are the seal…s summer breeding grounds. For centuries the isolated islands have been the annual goal for thousands of migrating fur seals，some coming from as far south as the waters off southern California. The seals were undisturbed by humans until 1786 when the islands were discovered by Gerasim Pribilof，a Russian fur trader. Recognizing the potential profit，Pribilof immediately sent his men ashore with orders to kill as many seals as they could skin during the summer. Over the next fifty years，Russian hunters proceeded to kill an estimated 80 percent of the northern fur seal population，reducing to about 600，000 a head that had probably numbered close to 3 million. This mass slaughter did not stop until the herd had decreased to the point where commercial hunting was no longer profitable.5. During the subsequent lull in hunting the seal population made a good，although temporary，recovery. By the time the United States bought Alaska，including the Pribilof Islands，from Russian in 1867，the seal herd had increased to around 2.5 million. This recovery resulted in a revival of hunting on the islands and at sea；however，fur hunters from around the world shot at the animals indiscriminately，killing even pregnant and nursing females，and onceagain the species neared extinction.6. In 1911，only 200，000 seals remained when the United States，Japan，Russian，and Canada signed a treaty that forbade the killing of female seals. The agreement，which is still being followed today，saved the northern fur seal from immediate extinction.7. In the United States， a growing public awareness of these endangered specieshas caused a drop in the demand for seal fur and a ban on the importation of whale products；nevertheless，this spring hunters around the world will kill thousands of seals and whales. The furs of the seals will appear in stores as sealskin coats and gloves，and the whales will be transformed into such diverse products as steaks，soap，pet food，glue，crayons，and suntan lotion. Concerned individuals and conservationist groups，such as Greenpeace，continue to argue that it is absurd to use endangered species for such products，especially when suitable alternatives exist. Consequently，they are demanding that further restrictions be imposed on whale and seal hunting in the hopes that the 200-year exploitation of these animals by civilization will come to an end and that seals and whales will once again be allowed to roam the seas undisturbed.Reading Passage 41. Information is generally esteemed as a valuable commodity ― knowing something is usually preferable to not knowing it. But beyond contributing to the individual…s fund of knowledge，why does information have such instinct worth Simply stated，information has the power to deduce uncertainty. The more we know about a situation，the more certain we are about possible outcomes. The more certainty we possess，the less risk we face in making decisions and planning for the future. Economists have even applied a technique known as Bayesian analysis to information problems，enabling them to assess the dollar value of knowledge in a given setting.2. Information essentially has two valuable applications：problem solving and strategic planning. Problem solving is the more obvious use ― applying information to specific decision-making situations. Research can unearth potential problems which might otherwise go undetected and help define their full scope. Information can reveal possible solutions to the problem，suggest variations to more obvious alternatives，determine what is physically possible，and discover what other people have done in similar situations. Furthermore，information help the decision-maker assess the probable outcomes of various alternatives，the advantages and disadvantages to each，and even whether the proposed solution has worked in the past. In summary，information can provide new ideas，verify what the researcher believes to be true，prevent costly mistake，and in the very best case，actually solve the problem at hand.3. Strategic planning is a less direct use of information，but is possibly the most important application in the business world. Information is an essential component of sound long-range planning. When used in this strategic sense，information is often called intelligence. Intelligence is gathered by collecting individual bits of data and piecing them together to form clear patterns.By its very nature，intelligence relies on sources outside the organization；it is generated by scanning the environment for useful information. Intelligence enables the researcher to recognize potential threats and opportunities before it is too late to do something about them. Change，whether political，social，economic，or technological，poses the greatest challenge to management…s ability to plan for the future. The use of information for strategic purposes largely determines whether the firm anticipates change，or is controlled by it.4. Scanning the environment supports strategic planning activities in many ways. Information can be used to evaluate the marketplace by surveying changing tastes and needs，monitoring buyers… intentions and attitudes，and assessing the characteristics of the market. Information is critical in keeping tabs on the competition by watching new product developments，shifts in market share，individual company performance，and overall industry trends. Intelligence helps managers anticipate changes in the legal and political environment，including the impact of proposed regulations，tax laws；and import restrictions. Business firms also need to scan the environment for economic conditions in the United States and abroad，including interest rates，foreign exchange rates，and economic growth. In short，intelligence can provide answers to two key business questions：how am I doing And where am I headed Information thus reduces uncertainty in both its applications. In decision making，information prevents the uncertainty of indecision. In strategic planning，it reduces the uncertainty of an unknown future.5. For all its value，information carries with it numerous problems and costs. To begin with，information is a boundless resource，and no one can acquire all the information needed. The sheer mass of available data makes research a frustrating task. Most information unearthed in a search is irrelevant to the user…s needs，as anyone who has ever researched a college term paper can testify. Furthermore，information is usually fragmented published piecemeal in a variety of sources and seldom found in precisely the required form.6. These difficulties are compounded by the time research can take. Few researchers have the luxury of unlimited time；the scope of a search is almost always determined by the deadline established for the project. Another frustrating problem is deciding how to begin. The less we know about a topic，the harder it is to proceed. A central paradox of information gathering is how to determine what is needed when the researcher has no clear understanding of what is available. Similarly，one often doesn…t know what information is lacking until it‟s actually needed，at which point it may be too late.7. These concerns are important，because information always has a cost associated with it. Whether the user hires a consultant，purchases expensive publications，or merely uses his or her own time to track down the answer，each method has a direct cost. Information also has such indirect costs as delayed decisions，wrong divisions，and foregone opportunities. Estimated cost can often be misleading；people frequently believe that insignificant questions will be simple to research，when the exact opposite is usually true. “Big questions” are often e asiest to answer because someone else has already taken the time to research them.8. The hardest question in business research is determining at what point the benefits of the information justify their cost. Benefits may be hard to assess，or may accrue long after the information is first obtained. Perfect information is preferable to imperfect；yet in real world settings，perfect information does not exist. Researchers must assess the reliability and accuracy of what they uncover and decide whether to accept it or pursue additional facts. At what point is continued searching no longer prudent As already suggested，time constraints canmake this a moot point. When time is not a factor，however，the most appropriate indicator is the magnitude of the consequences. The potential profit or loss to the organization is an excellent gauge of the information…s importance. Another consideration is whether the information addresses a recurring problem or can be applied to other situations in the future. In the real world，two other matters must be kept in mind. First，the problem at hand is usually not the only task vying for the researcher‟s attention；and second，the knowledge，skills and interests of the researcher also determine the path an investigation will take. In the final analysis，all these factors help determine how much research will be done. Each researcher constantly weighs the costs and benefits of information，if only on a unconscious level.III.

Reading Comprehension (30 points, 2 points for each item)Passage One Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.Albert Einstein had a great effect on science and history. An American university president once commented that Einstein had created a new outlook, a new view of the universe. It may be some time before the average mind understands fully the identity (特性) of time and space and so on —but even ordinary men understand now that the universe is something larger than ever thought before.By 1914 the young Einstein had gained world fame. He accepted the offer to becomea professor at the Prussian Academy of Science in Berlin. He had few duties, little teaching and unlimited opportunities for study, but soon his peace and quiet were broken by the First World War.Einstein hated violence. The misery of war affected him deeply, and he sat unhappily in his office doing little. He lost interest in his research. Only when peace came in 1918 was he able to get back to work,In the years following the First World War, honors were increasingly heaped on him. He became the head of the Kaiser Whilhem Institute of Theoretical Physics. In 1921 he won the Nobel Prize for Physics, and he was highly honored in Germany until the rise of Nazism (纳粹主义) when he was driven from Germany because he was a Jew.21. The first paragraph is mainly about _____.A. a new outlook of the universeB. the feelings of an American college presidentC. the change in human thought caused by EinsteinD. the difficulty in teaching Einstein's theory22. From the second paragraph, we know Albert Einstein ____.A. enjoyed world popularityB. was the head of an academyC. was a famous teacherD. enjoyed studying wars23. Which of the following statements about Einstein is true?A. He achieved more than any other scientists in history.B. Our ideas about the universe differ from one another because of him.C. He kept working until peace came in 1918.D. His research practically stopped during the First World War.24. In the years following the First World War, _____.A. Einstein began to be accepted even by ordinary menB. more and more honors were granted to EinsteinC. Einstein became the head of the Prussian Academy of ScienceD. Einstein was not honored in Germany until the rise of Nazism25. It can be inferred from the third paragraph that _____.A. Albert Einstein was interested in nothing but scienceB. Einstein was forced to serve in the German armyC. Einstein made a lot more breakthroughs in his research after the First World WarD. his reputation was ruined because of NazismPassage TwoQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.Could you imagine your parents choosing your husband or wife for you? And can you imagine not setting eyes on him or her until your wedding day? This situation is common in India, the Middle East and many parts of Africa. Marriage customs around the world often differ from our own. We don't realize that people in other places often get married in very different ways — and with different motives.In many countries, marriage is a practical matter. A marriage provides a safe and stable home for the husband and wife. It also joins two families, which benefits the couple's parents and makes them happy. Marriage also brings children, making sure the couple will be taken care of in old age. Because a marriage is important for the whole family, some cultures don't let young people choose whom to marry. Just as there are many different reasons for marriage, there are also many different wedding rituals. Every culture has its own ways of bringing good luck to the happy couple. In a typical Western wedding, the bride seeks good luck by wearing "something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue." Something old represents the past. Something new represents success in the future. Something borrowed reminds the bride she can get help from her friends and family. And something blue reminds her to be true to her husband.In Poland, one wedding tradition is not only lucky, but also very practical. The wedding guests pin money to the bride's dress while she is dancing. The money is meant to bring kick and to help the young couple build their new life. In Bermuda, the young couple plants a tree in the yard of their new home. Once they move in, they take good care of the tree and make it grow. The planting of the tree is a good metaphor (比喻) for marriage. A truly good marriage is something that grows with care.26. Which of the following statements DOES NOT support the idea that marriage isa practical matter?A. The couple may have a safe and stable home through their marriage.B. The parents had better help their children choose whom to marry.C. A marriage benefits the couple's parents and makes them happy.D. A marriage brings children who will take care of the couple when they are old.27. The word "rituals" (para.3, line 2) means _____.A. formsB. customsC. traditionsD. ceremonies28. In a typical Western wedding, the bride wears something blue to ________.A. seek good luckB. represent the pastC. represent success in the futureD. remind her to be true to her husband29. Although cultures differ in different countries, one thing in common when a young couple gets married is that _____.A, people wish them to take care of each otherB. people wish them to get practical benefits from the marriageC. people wish them to have good luck in their new lifeD. people wish them to make money at the wedding ceremony30. Which of the following statements best summarizes the subject of this passage?A. People across the world get married in different ways and for different reasons.B. Every culture has its own ways of bringing good luck to the young couple.C. A truly good marriage is something that grows with care.D. In many countries, marriage is a practical matter.Passage ThreeQuestion 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.While popular in the U.S., the April Fool's Day tradition is even more prevalent in European countries, such as France and Great Britain. Although the roots of the traditional tricking are unclear, the French and the British both have claims onthe origin of the celebration.One theory holds that the first April Fool's Day was on April 1 of the year when King of France instituted (设立) the new calendar. This new system placed the day that had formerly been the first day of a new year on April 1. Many people were reluctant to adjust to the new calendar and continued to celebrate New Year's Day on what had become the first day of April. Thus, they became the first April fools. An English story about the day, however, holds that it began sometime during the 1200s. At the time, King John of England was in the habit of making a road out of nearly every path he walked regularly. The citizens of one particular farm village were aware of this. To avoid having their green pastures (牧场)disturbed with one of king's roads, they built a fence that prevented the king from walking through their countryside. The king sent a group of messengers (信使) to inform the villagers that they must remove the barrier.
