Part I Writing (30 minutes)
1．Directions: For this part, you are allowed thirty minutes to write a composition on the topic More Income for Farmers. You should write at least 150 words and you should base your composition on the outline given in Chinese below:1. 中国农民的收入有了巨大增长2. 分析农民收入增加的原因
正确答案：More Income for Farmers According to the figures given by the graph, the Chinese farmers’ personal income rose steadily from 1970 to 1990. In the middle of 1970’s their income was rather low, about 180 yuan. But in 1980 it increased approximately 50%, reaching 270 yuan. As is shown by the graph, in 1985 their income doubled. After that there was a consistent tendency for income to grow. There were two reasons for the increase in the farmers’ income in China. Firstly, the Chinese government had been carrying out a reform and opening policy. A large number of county-run enterprises had been set up in the rural areas. Secondly, a significant reform of agricultural policy had been carried out in China. The Party’s policy had brought farmers’ initiative into full play. As a result, the agricultural output had been on the rise all the time. All these factors resulted in the steady growth of farmers’ income. I believe that with a series of agricultural policies being carried out, there will be even more rapid development in China’s agriculture. There is no doubt that the farmers’ living standard will be improved to a great extent.
Part II Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning) (15 minutes)Directions: In this part, you will have 15 minutes to go over the passage quickly and answer the questions attached to the passage. For questions 1-4, mark：Y (for YES) if the statement agrees with the information given in the passage;N (for NO) if the statement contradicts the information given in the passage;NG (for NOT GIVEN)if the information is not given in the passage.
Lawrence Bragg, the Cavendish Professor of Experimental Physics, once wrote: “I will try to define what I believe to be lacking in our present courses for undergraduates. They do not learn to write clearly and briefly, marshalling their Points in due and aesthetically satisfying order, and eliminating inessentials. They are inept at those turns of phrase or happy analogy which throw a flying bridge across a chasm of misunderstanding and make contact between mind and mind. They do not know how to talk to people who have a very different training from them, and how to carry conviction when plans for action of vital importance to them are made.” Perhaps this
would not matter too much if physical science students were destined only for the backrooms of scientific laboratories. But recent trends indicate that many science graduates end up in careers far from their initial training. Many a physics graduate is to be found predicting the future market in the Square Mile; many a chemist is hyping it up in public relations. One of the main complaints of those graduates who leave science is that their course concentrated on producing students equipped to follow a research career, and that the underlying assumption was that such research would be carried out in an academic environment. Those who eventually find themselves elsewhere, whether as scientific researchers or in another capacity, often feel ill equipped for the environment of commerce and industry. These young people often have to write off their last three years’ training. At most, all they got from their BSc was a grounding in scientific logic and numeracy. The factual content of their subject was just so much excess baggage. The academic scientific community which supplied the excess baggage can be heard loudly bemoaning the “loss”of talented young scientists. Yet academic scientists also complain about scientific illiteracy in exactly those non-science professions, which are now welcoming science students. Perhaps if there were less moaning and greater acceptance of this intellectual osmosis(渗透), the exodus could be turned to everyone’s advantage. The refugee graduates ought to be able to think of their scientific knowledge and training as a bonus. It ought to make a positive, constructive contribution to their working lives, and be a source of insight for their colleagues. At the same time, the scientific community should be reaping the benefit of this broad and influential distribution of people who are sympathetic to science. The reason why this is not the case is that science graduates are often unable to share their science with their nonscientific colleagues. They are unable to communicate. Instead of building Bragg’s “flying bridge”they find themselves erecting barriers whenever called upon to explain scientific concepts in everyday terms. Attitudes in the scientific community are changing. In 1985, the Royal Society published a report on the public understanding of science in Britain. Its conclusions took many members of the scientific community by surprise. The report advocated increased cooperation with the media, more training in communication skills for scientists and wider science education. It also recommended that communication skills be an integral part of every undergraduate science course. The response in British universities has been patchy, to say the least, the reasons are not clear. It may be that nothing more than straightforward inertia is responsible. Being more charitable, academic scientists may simply feel their job is to teach science and that any attempts to delve into the art of communication will be ill received by both students and the outside world. However, there is evidence to suggest these fears are ill founded. For example, the departments of chemical and electrical engineering at Imperial College, London, have for many years offered their students tuition in giving talks. The motivation was partly to save examiners from hordes of trembling undergraduates’mumbling their way through their oral exams. But mostly, it was the recognition that engineers have to deal with “the public”-- bankers, designers, construction workers all the time. Although these classes are crammed into odd spaces in overcrowded timetables, the students take the idea
seriously and work hard on their talks. Through a process of practice, group discussion and criticism, all the students show a clear improvement in their communication skills. The best students give talks that are positively entertaining as well as informative. Over the past 12 months, University College London has been preparing a new course on the communication of scientific ideas. This will start in January as part of the science faculty’s new physical sciences degree, part of the course will involve the oral communication skills now being taught to engineers at Imperial. The rest is designed to bring students’ writing skills to a level where they could, perhaps, submit an article to New Scientist without it needing major surgery at the hands of a sub editor. Preparations for this element of the course have involved contacts with working journalists and bodies whose aims include making science more accessible to the general public, such as the British Association for the Advancement of Science and CIBA’s Media Resource Service. Here, too, initial approaches have produced an enthusiastic response. The conclusion from these ventures is that students want to know how to present the information they are learning in a coherent and attractive manner, and that initiatives by science departments which try to give their graduates such skills will be well received in the outside world. There are many people in universities who are interested in communication In many science faculties, staff are now taking upon themselves the responsibility for “chairing” classes for their students in communication skills. Given half a chance, most students would happily criticise their lecturers; in a class where they do the talking or writing, students learn by criticising each other. For academic scientists, the challenge of producing students with the communication skills demanded by society may be daunting. One thing, however, is certain. If we cannot even try, we can never succeed.

Section BDirections: In this section, you will hear 3 short passages. At the end of each passage, you will hear some questions. Both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C and D.
听力原文：Every person uses its own special words to describe things and express ideas. Some of these expressions are commonly used for many years. Others are popular for just a short time. One such American expression is “Where’s the beef?” It is used when something is not as good as it is said to be. In the early 1980s, “Where’s the beef?” was one of the most popular expressions in the United States. It seemed as if everyone was using it all the time. Beef, of course, is the meat from a cow, and probably no food is more popular in America than the hamburger made from beef. In the 1960s a businessman named Ray Kroc began building small restaurants that sold hamburgers at a low price. Kroc called his restaurant “McDonald’s”. Kroc cooked hamburgers quickly so people in a hurry could buy and eat them without waiting. By the end of the 1960s the McDonald’s Company was selling hamburgers in hundreds of restaurants from California to Maine. Not surprisingly, Ray Kroc became one of the richest businessmen in America. Other business people watched his success. Some of them opened their own hamburger restaurants. One company, called “Wendy’s”, began to compete with McDonald’s. Wendy’s said its hamburgers were bigger than those sold by McDonald’s or anyone else. The Wendy’s Company created.the expression “Where’s the beef?”to make people believe that Wendy’s hamburgers were the biggest. It produced a television advertisement to sell this idea. The Wendy’s television advertisement showed three old women eating hamburgers. The bread that covered the meat was very big, but inside there was only a tiny bit of meat. “Where’s the beef?” She shouted in a funny voice. These advertisements for Wendy’s hamburger restaurants were a success from the first day they appeared on television. As we said, it seemed everyone began using the expression “Where’s the beef?”
27．
A．The beef is lost.
B．Something is not as good as described.
C．The beef is not as good as it is said to be.
D．The food has turned bad.
正确答案：B

听力原文：Strikes are very common in Britain. They are extremely harmful to its industries. In fact, there are other countries in Western Europe that lose more working days through strikes every year than Britain. The trouble with the strikes in Britain is that they occur in essential industries. There are over 495 unions in Britain. Some unions are very small. Over 20 have more than 100 000 members. Unions do not exist only to demand higher wages. They also educate their members. They provide benefits for the sick and try to improve working conditions. Trade unionists say that we must thank the unions for the great improvement in working conditions in the last hundred years. It is now against the law for union members to go on strike without the support of their union. This kind of strike is called unofficial strike and was common until recently. Employers feel that unofficial strikes were most harmful because they would glut be predicted. However, these unofficial strikes still occur
from time to time and some unions have also refused to cooperate with the law. As a result, the general picture of the relations between workers and employers in Britain has gone from bad to worse.
30．
A．They often take place in her major industries.
B．British trade unions are more powerful.
C．There are more trade union members in Britain.

A．Trade unions in Britain are becoming more popular.
B．Most strikes in Britain are against the British law.
C．Unofficial strikes in Britain are easier to deal with now.
D．Employer-worker relations in Britain have become tenser.
正确答案：D
听力原文：When you want to know more about someone you often ask “What do you do?” This means “What is your job?” It is a common question, and we do not think there is anything strange about it. But it is possible that in the future we will ask a different question. We might ask, “What do you play?.”Computers and such things are making jobs more automatic and less demanding. Scientists tell us that one day very few people will have to work. Our society will be run by computers. And so we will all have a great deal of free time. And then games will be more important than jobs. Today games and play are a very important part of life. Today people are divided into social classes because of the type of work they do. To morrow they may be divided because of the types of games they play. In the future, we may have “fun specialists”, just as we now have specialists in different types of work. It would be their job to show us how to get the most fun and enjoyment out of our spare time. And our society may be made up of sub-groups, such as surfers, skydivers, joggers, skiers, etc Many of these sub-groups may rely on technology to provide the equipment fro their games.
33．
A．What do you play?
B．What do you do?
C．What is your name?
D．What is your job?
正确答案：B
34．
A．Because we have many specialists who can do most of the jobs.
B．Because we have more and more working people.
C．Because we have computers and such things to help us.
