You should decide on the best choice.Passage OneQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.The quality of university life is declining under strain from the higher education, leading independent schools in Britain complained. The warning followed survey of the impressions of campus life gained by students of school. Poor interviewing of the applicants, infrequent contact with tutors, worries over student safety, and even complaint over the food were all seen as symptoms of the pressure on universities. Head teachers said that standards could well drop if the squeeze on university budgets continued. A survey was carried out because of fears that the level of green area in universities had declined. A great number of student suicides had raised concerns among head teachers.Although most of the 6,000 students surveyed were enjoying university life, almost a third were less than satisfied with their course. About one in 10 had serious financial problems and some gave alarming accounts of conditions around their halls of residence. Incidents mentioned included a fatal stabbing and shooting outside a hall of residence, the petrol-bombing of cars near another residence, and two racist attacks. Nine percent of women and seven percent of men rated security as unsatisfactory in the area where they lived. Salford University had the lowest satisfaction rating. Lancaster and Kingston universities were rated the safest.The survey confirmed head teachers’fears about contact between students and tutors slipping, with a quarter of the students seeing their tutors only every three weeks. New students, used to regular contact with their teachers, found it hard to adapt to the change. Interview techniques were a cause for concern, with the school calling for more training of university staff involved in admissions. Some headmasters complained that interviews were increasingly “odd”. One greeted an applicant by throwing him an apple. Another interview lasted only three minutes. About a quarter of the students found the workload at university heavier than they had expected. Imperial College London, Oxford and Cambridge universities registered by far the highest workload. There were differences between subjects, with architecture, engineering, veterinary science, medicine and some science subjects demanding the most work. Veterinary science was nevertheless the most popular subject, followed by physiotherapy and history of art. General engineering, economics, computing and sociology were the least popular. The survey also confirmed previous concerns about possible racial prejudice in admissions to medical courses. Applicants with names suggesting an ethnic minority background had been rejected withqualifications as good as successful white candidates.31.According to the passage, the main problem existing in the interview of admission is that ______.A) the interviewers often greeted the applicants by throwing an appleB) the interviewers spent only a few minutes interviewing an applicantC) the interviewers were not knowledgeable to interview the applicantsD) the interviewers lack enough training and interview techniques正确答案：D32.From the passage, we can infer that in high school, students ______.A) were never worried about their securityB) had regular contact with their teachersC) were often dissatisfied with their courseD) were worried about their entrance exam正确答案：B33.We can learn from the passage that ______.A) most students surveyed were satisfied with university lifeB) many head teachers were killed by the students in universityC) veterinary science was popular for its workload was lightD) students were worried about the squeeze on university budgets正确答案：A34.The author’s description of the quality of university life in Britain seems to be ______.A) subjectiveB) pessimisticC) objectiveD) unreasonable正确答案：C35.Among the following, which is the proper statement of the status of students’security?A) Fatal stabbing and shooting often happened outside the hall of residence.B) The students in Britain were so worried about their security in university.C) Students were often watchful against people around their halls of residence.D) The status of students’security in Salford University might be very awful.正确答案：DPassage TwoQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.Our entire human existence is based on change. Our species is dependent upon the advancement of life and our culture. If we were to forever remain the same, without evolving, perhaps our collective existence wouldn’t even be possible. It remains within our individual powers to hold onto the past. We do not have to let technology take hold of us and our lives.Seven Birkerts, in his article “Into the Electronic Millennium”, seems to feel as if technology is corrupting, and will continue to corrupt, our culture. In specific, he focuses on literature and language as being the core of what is being corrupted. My question is, how can something be corrupted that is, in fact, already corrupted?Language wasn’t created as written expression. Words were invented as personal thoughts that were spoken orally, either to oneself or to an audience. Either way, listeners of words were limited by a storyteller’s own preferences. One could argue that the evolution of oral language into written language has been corrupted by these preferences. Today, language isn’t as personal and limited as in the past. In our era, the printed form of language has merely been converted to an electronic form by technology. Technology loses much of the personal touches that perhaps created language, and the population is now not really limited at all by a storyteller’s preferences, but perhaps this freedom is commendable. The entire world is now open to everything. We all have the opportunity to learn, read, and see whatever we desire.The freedom offered by technology shouldn’t be seen as “a destruction of tokens from the past”, as Birkerts seems to believe. It is merely the introduction of a future. The past is just that, the past; we can’t change it. Therefore, it will always be there. It is in a way indestructible. We, society, decide what is neglected in our past and in our culture. The addition of the television did not rid our society of books and outdoor activities as was believed by some. In similar fashion, the advent of the computer does not restrict us as a society to our homes, speaking to virtual others. Birkerts’view that our society will create another group of hermits and loners simply won’t happen. Humans by nature are social beings. We thrive on the comfort and companionship of other humans. To rid ourselves of that would be too harmful. We will never close ourselves as a whole to others; the costs outweigh the benefits.36.What does the sentence “It remains within our individual powers to hold onto the past”(Para. 1) mean?A) We can’t live in a society full of changes.B) We could live in the past without evolving.C) Human beings can live in the present fashion.D) Human beings can’t live in the old fashion.正确答案：C37.Nowadays, we have the opportunity to learn and read whatever we desire because _____.A) we are not as limited as before due to the advancement of technologyB) we have fewer chances to touch the storyteller’s viewpoints directlyC) language also develops with the advancement of technologyD) language isn’t influenced by the storyteller’s preferences正确答案：A38.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to Para. 4?A) The past is in some way indestructible.B) The computer does not restrict us as a society to our homes.C) The freedom offered by technology is a destruction of the past.D) It is society that decides what to abandon.正确答案：C39.According to the passage, which of the following is Birkerts’idea?A) The advancement of technology has improved language a lot.B) The advancement of technology has destroyed language.C) We can gain nothing from the advancement of technology.D) The advancement of technology can’t influence culture.正确答案：B40.What is the author’s idea about language?A) The change of the world has nothing to do with language.B) The change of language resulted in society corruption.C) Computers and televisions should be thrown away for their undesirable influence on language.D) We don’t have to worry about the influence of technology on language.正确答案：DPart III Vocabulary and Structure ( 12 minutes )Directions: There are a number of incomplete sentences in this part. For each sentence there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D).

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice.Passage OneQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.The past ages of man have all been carefully labeled by anthropologists. When the time comes for anthropologists to turn their attention to the twentieth century, they will surely choose the label “Legless Man”.Histories of the time will go something like this: “in the twentieth century, peopleforgot how to use their legs. Men and women moved about in cars, buses and trains from a very early age. There were lifts and escalators in all large buildings to prevent people from walking. The surprising thing is that they didn’t use their legs even when they went on holiday. They built cable railways, ski-lifts and roads to the top of every huge mountain. All the beauty spots on earth were marred by the presence of large car parks.”The future history books might also record that we were deprived of the use of our eyes. In our hurry to get from one place to another, we failed to see anything on the way. Air travel gives you a bird’s-eye view of the world ―or even less if the wing of the aircraft happens to get in your way. When you travel by car or train a blurred image of the countryside constantly smears the windows. And as for sea travel, it hardly deserves mention. It is perfectly summed up in the words of the old song: “I joined the navy to see the world, and what did I see? I saw the sea.”The typical twentieth-century traveler is the man who always says “I’ve been there.”You mention the remotest, most evocative place and someone is bound to say “I’ve been there”―meaning, “I drove through it at 100 miles an hour on the way to somewhere else.”When you travel at high speeds, the present means nothing: you live mainly in the future because you spend most of your time looking forward to arriving at some other place. By traveling like this, you suspend all experience; the present ceases to be a reality: you might just as well be dead. The traveler on foot, on the other hand, lives constantly in the present. For him traveling and arriving are one and the same thing: he arrives somewhere with every step he makes. He experiences the present moment with his eyes, his ears and the whole of his body. At the end of his journey he feels a delicious physical weariness. He knows that sound. Satisfying sleep will be his: the just reward of all true travelers.31.Nowadays, anthropologists tend to label men “Legless”because ________.A) people forget how to use his legsB) people prefer cars, buses and trainsC) lifts and escalators prevent people from walkingD) there are a lot of transportation devices正确答案：B32.What’s the author’s attitude towards traveling at high speed?A) It means people’s focus on the future.B) It’s a pleasure.C) It satisfies drivers’great thrill.D) It’s a necessity of life.正确答案：A33.“we were deprived of the use of our eyes”in Para. 3 means ________.A) people won’t use their eyes.B) in traveling at high speed, eyes become useless.C) people can’t see anything on their way of travel.D) people want to sleep during travelling.正确答案：B34.What’s the author’s opinion about people’s travelling?A) Legs become weaker.B) Modern means of transportation make the world a small place.C) There is no need to use eyes.D) The best way to travel is on foot.正确答案：D35.What does “I’ve been there”mean?A) I arrived there with every step I made.B) I lived there constantly.C) I drove through it at 100 miles an hour on the way to somewhere else.D) I stayed there for a long time.正确答案：CPassage TwoQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.The tourist trade is booming. With all this coming and going, you’d expect greater understanding to develop between the nations of the world. Superb systems of communication make it possible for us to visit each other’s countries at a moderate cost. What was once the “grand tour”, reserved for only the very rich, is now within everybody’s grasp? The package tour and chartered flights are not to be sneered at. Modern travelers enjoy a level of comfort which the lords and ladies on grand tours in the old days couldn’t have dreamed of. But what’s the sense of this mass exchange of populations if the nations of the world remain basically ignorant of each other?Many tourist organizations are directly responsible for this state of affairs. They deliberately set out to protect their clients from too much contact with the local population. The modern tourist leads a cosseted, sheltered life. He lives at international hotels, where he eats his international food and sips his international drink while he gazes at the natives from a distance. Conducted tours to places of interest are carefully censored. The tourist is allowed to see only what the organizers want him to see and no more. A strict schedule makes it impossible for the tourist to wander off on his own; and anyway, language is always a barrier, so he is only too happy to be protected in this way. At its very worst, this leads to a new and hideous kind of colonization. The sad thing about this situation is that it leads to the persistence of national stereotypes. We don’t see the people of other nations as they really are, but as we have been brought up to believe they are. You can test this for yourself. Take five nationalities, say, French, German, English, American and Italian. Now in your mind, match them with these five adjectives: musical, amorous, cold, pedantic, native. Far from providing us with any insight into the national characteristics of the peoples just mentioned, these adjectives actually act as barriers. So when you set out on your travels, the only characteristics you notice are those which confirm your preconceptions. You come away with the highly unoriginal and inaccurate impression that, say, “Anglo-Saxons are hypocrites”of that “Latin peoples shout a lot”. You only have to make a few foreign friends to understand how absurd and harmful national stereotypes are.

During its flight it reached 3000 feet and performed a series of gentle turns all over a safe area. The aircraft is massive as long as a football field and as tall as 6 double decker buses and capable of flying for up to 5 days. It was first developed for the US government as a long range spy aircraft, but was abandoned following budget cutbacks. The aircraft cost25 million pounds and can carry heavier loads than huge jet planes while also producing less noise and omittingless pollution. The makers believe it's the future of aircraft and one day we'll be using them to go places. But there's still a long way to go.

A new study in mice may help to explain why hunger can feel like such a powerful motivating force. In the study, researchers found that hunger outweighed other physical drives, including fear, thirst and social needs.To determine which feeling won out, the researchers did a series of experiments. In o ne experiment, the mice were both hungry and thirsty. When given the choice of either eating food or drinking water, the mice went for the food, the researchers found. However, when the mice were well-fed but thirsty, they opted to drink, according to the study. In the second experiment meant to pit the mice's hunger against their fear, hungry mice were placed in a cage that had certain "fox-scented" areas and other places that smelled safer (in other words, not like an animal that could eat them) but also had food. It turned out that, when the mice were hungry, they ventured into the unsafe areas for food. But when the mice were well-fed, they stayed in areas of the cage thatwere considered "safe." Hunger also outweighed the mice's social needs, the resear chers found. Mice are usually social animals and prefer to be in the company of other mice, according to the study. When the mice were hungry, they opted to leave the company of other mice to go get food.Questions 16 to 18 are based on the passage you have just heard.16. What is the researchers’ purpose in carrying out the serious experiment with mice?17. In what circumstances, do mice venture into unsafe areas?18. What is said about mice at the end of the passage?Passage TwoThe United States has one of the best highway systems in the world. Interstate highways connect just about every large and mid-sized city in the country. Did you ever wonder why such a complete system of excellent roads exists? For an answer，you would have to go back to the early 1920s. In those years, just after World War I, the military wanted to build an American highway system for national defense. Such a system could, if necessary, move troops quickly from one area to another. It could also get people out of cities in dan ger of being bombed. So-called roads of national importance were designated, but they were mostly small country roads. In 1944, Congress passed a bill to upgrade the system, but did not fund the plan right away. In the 1950s, the plan began to become a reality. Over $25 billion was appropriated by congress, and construction began on about 40,000 miles of new roads. The idea was to connect the new system to existing expressways and freeways. And though the system was built mostly to make car travel easier, defense was not forgotten. For instance, highway overpasses had to be high enough to allow trailers carrying military missiles to pass under them. By 1974, this system was mostly completed. A few additional roads would come later. Quick and easy travel between all parts of the country was now possible.Questions 19 and 21 are based on the passage you have just heard.19. What does the speaker say about the American highway system?20. What was the original purpose of building a highway system?21. When was the interstate highway system mostly completed?Passage ThreeTexting while driving was listed as a major cause of road deaths among young Americans back in 2013. A recent study said that 40% of American teens claim to have been in a car when the driver used a cell phone in a way that put people in danger. This sounds like a widespread disease but it's one that technology may now helped cure. T.J. Evarts, a 20- year-old inventor, has come up with a novel solution that could easily put texting drivers on notice. It's called Smart Wheel, and it's designed to fit over the steering wheel of most standard vehicles to track whether or not the driver has two hands on the wheel at all times. Evarts’ invention warns the drivers with the light and the sound when they hold the wheel with one hand only, but as soon as they place the other hand back on the wheel the light turns back to green and the sound stops. It also watches for what's called “close by hands”, where both hands are close together near the top o f the wheel so the driver can type with both thumbs and drive at the same time. All the data Smart Wheel collects is also sent to a connected app. So any parents who install Smart Wheel can keep track of the teens’ driving habits. If they try to remove or damage the cover, that's reported as well.Questions 22 to 25 are based on the passage you have just heard.22. What is a major cause of road deaths among young Americans?23. What is Smart Wheel?24. What happens if the driver has one hand on the wheel?25. How do parents keep track of their teens’ driving habits?参考答案：ABBCA CDADC BDCAD BACDB ABACB2听力第二套参考答案：Section A1.

Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once. Each paragraph is marked with a letter. Answer the questions by writing the corresponding letter in the blank.Your Password or Your PrivacyA) Matthew Breuer has shared the passwords to his computer, e-mail and social media accounts with every girlfriend he?s ever had. It?s a matter of convenience—she can check his e-mail when he can?t access it or get into his phone to change the song playing on the speakers. But it?s also symbolic.B) “I feel like it?s so much easier to live in a relationship where you know you have nothing to hide and are entirely honest about who you are and what you?re doing,” he says. “Times in my life when I?ve realized that somethingwasn?t working in my relationship coincided with(与…同时发生) times when I would be worried, ?Oh, do I really want to say this on Face-book to somebody else?? It?s such a red flag if there?s something you?re concerned about your partner seeing. That means there?s some fundamental issue with your relationship beyond privacy.” Breuer has most American couples on his side. According to a recent Pew study, 67% of Internet users in marriages or relationships have shared passwords to one or more of their accounts with their partner.C) Though we don?t feel comfortable exchanging passwords with perhaps more trustworthy family members and long-term friends, we do feel comfortable exchanging access to our personal information with boyfriends and girlfriends. It?s an exercise in trust, the logic goes. If you have nothing to hide, why would you want to hide your password? And, as Breuer points out, knowing someone may look over your shoulder can keep you honest.D) For Jasmine Tobie, seeing someone else?s transgressions (越轨)via e-mail has saved her from a toxic relationship. After finding some receipts that proved her boyfriend was lying to her about being on a business trip one weekend, she decided to look at his e-mail to be sure beforeshe pulled the plug on the relationship. “Once I found that I just had to have more evidence.” She didn?t know his password, but was able to guess correctly using clues on his desktop. “He was still ?communicating? with his exes. He had taken a trip to visit an ex and told me it was a work trip. He was still signed up with dating sites and other ?hookup? sites and actively communicating with those people… I found some pictures of him and people he swore were ?friends? in the act.” The two had dated for a year and lived together for about nine months. “:I was trying to find some way to give him the benefit of the doubt. In the end, it did clarify for me that he was not it for me at all and that there were issues I couldn?t fix.” Tobie adds that those were extraordinary circumstances, and she wouldn?t read someone else?s e-mails again. She doesn?t share passwords with her current boyfriend.E) In most circumstances, psychologists suggest keeping passwords private. “In relationships, we depend on each other for a lot of things, but it?s good and healthy to have some independence too,” says Kelly Campbell, PhD of Psychology. “The more you self-disclose, the happier you are. But the happiestcouples have some degree of secrecy and privacy.”Unsurprisingly, sharing passwords can cause some serious problems during a relationship or after it ends. F) Rosalind Wiseman, author of Queen Bees and Vannabes, advises the teens she talks to for her research to not share passwords because “the relationships can change so quickly, and the emotions behind the breakups can be so strong.” She says that one high scholar she worked with was blind-sided when his ex-girlfriend found his phone. “She knew where he charged his phone during class and knew his password, so she went in and sent all sorts of texts to friends, to another girl he was talking to—it really created a lot of problems for him.”G) Though one might assume that teens and 20-somethings are the ones foolishly sharing passwords—and suffering from the resulting drama—the survey found that the practice of password-sharing is pretty equal across age groups, and that 18-29-year-olds were actually the least likely to share passwords. 64% of 18-29-year-olds share passwords, compared with 70% of 30-49-year-olds, 66% of 50-64-year-olds, and 69% of those over 65.H) And you don?t have to be a teenager to have password problems with your significant other. Suzy, a 46-year-old mother, got into a dangerous situation years ago when herthen-boyfriend started reading her e-mails. She hadn?t given him her password, but one day she forgot to log out and he checked her e-mail. The couple had been on-again-off-again, and she hadn?t told him that she had created an online dating profile while they were apart. She had since deleted the profile and deleted most of the e-mail exchanges with the man she met through the site. “But he went through all my e-mails, including ones that I had thrown away. He went into every folder. He got really mad and basically attacked me,” she says. “I ended up having to call an ambulance.”I) Since, she says she?s never even considered sharing passwords with a significant other. “I now have this paranoia(偏执) where I wouldn?t even share it even if I trusted someone. You never know what?s going to upset someone,” she says. “I don?t know if that makes me less trusting or just wiser.”J) Still, optimists like Breuer are undeterred (未受阻的)by such horror stories. Breure says he has always developed friendship with the girls he has dated before dating, and therefore felt they could be honest with one another. “I think sharing passwords honestly ends up affording you the privacy you want,” Breure says, pointing to a password etiquette thathas developed between him and his partners in recent years. “Just because you tell somebody your password to things doesn?t mean they actually end up looking through your stuff.”Breuer says he?s never changed his password after a breakup since he?s always trusted and respected those he has dated.K) Campbell says the best way to determine if you?re ready to share passwords with your significant other is to check and see if you?re on the same page. “If you have any question in your mind, the answer is no,” says Campbell. “I would say that it should be reciprocal. You shouldn?t be sharing something if your partner also didn?t share it…People are happiest when they have a match. You and your partner should be a match in that respect too.”11. We feel at ease sharing passwords with our partner, but not with our family members.12. Although couples are happier when they share more, the happiest couples don?tshare everything.13. Jasmine Tobie ended an unhealthy relationship after she found evidence of her boyfriend?s cheating.14. A middle-aged mother was ever beaten by her then-boyfriend years ago after he read her e-mails.15. Teenagers are advised to keep their passwords private because the relationshipsare unstable and they may not have a good control over their emotions after breakups.16. Most American couples think that if there is something they don’t want their partner to see on their social media, their relationship probably isn?t working.17. Campbell holds that before you are determined to share your passwords, you?d篇二：自主学习6-答案自主学习 6Part I Reading Comprehension(40 minutes)Section ADirections: In this section, there is a passage with ten blanks.

Answer the questions by writing the corresponding letter in the blank.Why Teenagers Really Do Need an Extra Hour in Bed?A) “Making teens start school in the morning is ‘cruel’,”brain doctor claims. So declared a British newspaper headline in 2007 after a talk I gave at an academic conference. One disbelieving reader responded: “ This man sounds brain-dead. “B) That was a typical reaction to work I was reporting at the time on teenage sleep patterns and their effect onperformance at school. Six years on there is growing acceptance that the structure of the academic day needs to take account of adolescent sleep patterns. The latest school to adopt a later start time is the UCL Academy in London; others are considering following suit.C) So what are the facts about teenage sleep, and how should society adjust to these needs? The biology of human sleep timing, like that of other mammals, changes as we age. This has been shown in many studies. As adolescence begins, bedtimes and waking times get later. This trend continues until years in women and 21 in men. Then it reverses. At 55 we wake at about the time we woke prior to adolescence. On average this is two hours earlier than adolescents. This means that for a teenager, a 7 alarm call is the equivalent of a 5 start for a person in their 50s.D) Precisely why this is so is unclear but the shifts related with changes in hormones(荷尔蒙) at adolescence and the decline in those hormones as we age. However, biology is only part of the problem. Additional factors include a more relaxed attitude to bedtimes by parents, a general disregard for the importance of sleep, and access to TVs, DVDs, PCs, gaming devices, cell phones andso on, all of which promote alertness and eat into time available for sleep.E) The amount of sleep teenagers get varies between countries, geographic region and social class, but all studies show they are going to bed later and not getting as much sleep as they need because of early school starts.F) Mary Carskadon at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island, who is a pioneer in the area of adolescent sleep, has shown that teenagers need about 9 hours a night to maintain full alertness and academic performance. My own recent observations at a UK school in Liverpool suggested many were getting just 5 hours on a school night. Unsurprisingly, teachers reported students dozing in class. G) Evidence that sleep is important is overwhelming. Elegant research has demonstrated its critical role in memory improvement and our ability to generate wise solutions to complex problems. Sleep disruption may increase the level of the stress. Excited behaviors, lack of empathy, sense of humor and mood are similarly affected. All in all, a tired adolescent is a moody, insensitive, angry and stressed one. Perhaps less obviously, sleep loss is associated with metabolic (新陈代谢的) changes. Long-term lack of sleep might be animportant factor for negative conditions such as diabetes (糖尿病), overweight and high blood pressure.H) Adolescents are increasingly using stimulants to compensate for sleep loss, and caffeinated (含咖啡咽的) and/or sugary drinks are the usual choice. So a caffeinated drink late in the day delays sleep at night. Tiredness also increases the likelihood of taking up smoking.I) In the US, the observation that teenagers have biologically delayed sleep patterns compared to adults prompted several schools to put back the start of the school day. An analysis of the impact by Kyla Wahlstrom at the University of Minnesota found that academic performance was enhanced, as was attendance. Sleeping in class declined, as did self-reported depression. In the UK, Monkseaton High School near Newcastle instituted a 10 am start in 2009 and saw a progress in academic performance.J) However, a later start by itself is not enough. Society in general, and teenagers in particular, must start to take sleep seriously. Sleep is not a luxury but a fundamental biological need, enhancing creativity, productivity, mood and the ability to interact with others.K) If you are dependent upon an alarm clock, or parent,to get you out of bed ; if you take a long time to wake up; if you feel sleepy and impatient during the day; ff your behavior is overly impulsive, it means you are probably not getting enough sleep. Take control. Ensure the bedroom is a place that promotes sleep-dark and not too warm-don’t text, use a computer or watch TV for at least half an hour before trying to sleep avoid bright lights. Try not to nap during the day, and seek out natural light in the morning to adjust the body clock and sleep patterns to an earlier time. Avoid caffeinated drinks after lunch.L) It is my strongly held View, based upon the evidence, that the efforts of dedicated(专注的，投入的) teachers and the money spent on school facilities will have a greater impact and education will be more rewarding when, collectively, teenagers, parents, teachers and school governors start to take sleep seriously. In the universal language of school reports: we must do better.11. In the US and UK, several schools that have delayed the start of the school day witnessed a progress in academic performance.12. Nap is not favored as it may prohibit teens from adjusting the body clock to an earlier time.13. The hormones in human body decrease step by step as people get older.14. The author has found in his recent observations that teens need to sleep for longer hours on a school night.15. Education can be more rewarding when the students’sleep is taken seriously.16. A tiring “adolescent usually takes caffeinated drinks as a compensation for sleep loss.17. Geographic region together with social class and nationality may lead to sleep differences among teenagers.18. The general public didn’t believe fire teens’sleep patterns illustrated by a brain doctor.19. Sleep loss not only will do harm to teenagers’mental and emotional state but also potentially threaten their physical fitness.20. The sleeping patterns of human and those of other mammals vary with age.11---15 IKDFL 16---20HEAGCSection CDirections: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by somequestions or unfinished statements. For each of them thereare fourchoices marked A), B), C), D). You should decide on the best choice andwrite the corresponding letter in the blank.Passage OneQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.With the unemployment rate topping 8% and the government $16 trillion in debt, it’s easy to question why taxpayers are spending $ billion on an SUV- sized Mars rover (探测车) named Curiosity, which landed successfully on the red planet in the early hours of Monday. Couldn’t this money go toward something closer to home, such as providing shelter for the homeless or building roads? Yes, it could. But this kind of thinking is shortsighted.The Mars project is the latest manifestation of America’s restless desire to answer previously unanswerable questions and take on new challenges. To paraphrase President John F. Kennedy, America does things like this not because they are easy, but because they are hard.Getting the probe down safely on Mars, after a 350 million mile journey, was certainly no easy feat. Virtually all the technology used in the approach and landing was new, or usedin new ways. Once settled in, Curiosity should be a particularly awe-inspiring project. It is designed to shed light on big questions: Could life forms have ever existed on Mars? Might they still exist? And are we alone in the universe ?When budgets are tight, space projects such as Curiosity come in for particular abuse. They are often portrayed as complicated flights of odd ideas. They are not. They are both inspirational and immensely practical. Technology is, after all, an engine of economic growth. If that is a goal, as well it should be, why not support a program that makes science exciting and showcases some of the most interesting things that technology can do? One of the main benefits of projects like this one is to promote a confident America. Throughout history, nations that explore, and engage in science, lead the world. Beginning in the 15th century, for example, European nations sent sailors around the globe and provided the impetus for thinkers such as Copernicus, Galileo and Newton to invent modern physics and astronomy. Not coincidentally, Europe came to dominate the world until the dawn of the 20th century.Those who would slash space program budgets apparently haven’t learned history’s lessons and don’t see the great possibilities that the future presents--possibilitiesreflected in every image transmitted back from the rover.21. Why is it easy to question why taxpayers’ money is spent on Curiosity?A) Because Curiosity costs too much money.B) Because the economic situation is depressed.C) Because the money should be spent on the people.D) Because Curiosity is meaningless and impractical.22. According to the first paragraph, the author believes that ________.A) people should view Curiosity in the long termB) Curiosity will generate more benefits than other thingsC) people should not focus too much on economic situationD) Curiosity is more important than economic development23. Although the probe on Mars is not easy, America still insists it because ________.A) new technology and new ways are found to solve the problemsB) the probe can shed light on many big questionsC) the nation’s confidence can be strengthened through the probeD) the nation has a restless desire to take on new challenges24. Why does the author say space projects are practical?A) Because they make science exciting.B) Because they promote economic growth.C) Because they increase America’s national power.D) Because they show what technology can bring.25. The author uses Europe from 15th century to 20th century as an example to suggest that_______ .A) nations which send sailors around the globe will be strongerB) nations which develop physics and astronomy will be strongerC) nations which support science exploration will be strongerD) nations which dominate the world will be strongerPassage TwoQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.The argument that global warming is causing more extreme weather is problematic because it presumes the globe is warming. In fact, the global temperature trend line has been stable for more than a dozen years, while carbon dioxide has increased 7%. If carbon dioxide was the driver, then why have global temperatures stopped increasing?Keep in mind that carbon dioxide represents % of the Earth’s atmosphere. Arguing that carbon dioxide is driving the small temperature variations in our climate as opposed to the oceans, which cover70% of the planet and have 1,000 times the heat capacity of air, or the output of our sun, is scientifically disturbing.Weather is more publicized nowadays because of its impact on society and the constant push of the global warming agenda. Increases in population result in more people being in the path of Mother Nature’s great anger. Global warming activists attribute every major weather event to man because they are either uninformed about history, or choose to ignore it. The latest claims resulting from this series of hot and dry summers ignore the fact that more state heat records were set in the 1930s than all篇三：新视野大学英语自主学习题目及答案T1-U9-RW2-HJWPart 1 Understanding Long Conversations(每小题：分)Directions: In this section you’ll hear a long conversation or conversations.

Students can now access a wealth of information at their fingertips, and teachers can employ various tools to enhance the learning experience.However, there are also concerns about the over-reliance ontechnology. Some argue that it may lead to a decrease in critical thinking skills as students may become too dependent on search engines and online summaries. Additionally, the digital divide can exacerbate educational inequalities, as not all students have equal access to technology.In conclusion, while technology has undoubtedly brought about positive changes in education, it is crucial to strike a balance. Educators should use technology as a tool to complement traditional teaching methods, ensuring that students develop a well-rounded set of skills.#### 四、翻译部分汉译英（共20分）原文：随着经济的快速发展，人们的生活水平有了显著提高。

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice.Passage OneQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.We are all inclined to believe that our generation is more civilized than the generation that preceded ours. From time to time, there is even some substantial evidence that we hold in higher regard such civilized attributes as compassion, pity, remorse (懊悔), intelligence and a respect for the customs of people different from ourselves.Why war then?Some pessimistic historians think the whole society of man runs in cycles and that one of the phases is war. The optimists, on the other hand, think war is not like an eclipse (日食) or a flood or a spell of bad weather. They believe that it is more like a disease for which a cure could be found if the causes were known.Because war is the ultimate drama of life and death stories and pictures of it are more interesting than those about peace. This is so true that all of us, and perhaps those of us in television more than most, are often caught up in the action of war to the exclusion of the ideas of it.If it is true, as we would like to think it is, that our age is more civilized than ages past, we must all agree that it’s very strange that in the twentieth century, our century, we have killed more than 70 million of our fellowmen on purpose, at war. It is very strange that since 1900 more men have killed more other men than in any other seventy years in history.Probably the reason we are able to do both, that is, believe on the one hand that we are more civilized and on the other hand wage war to kill ? is that killing is not so personal an affair as it once was. The enemy is invisible. One man doesn’t look another in the eye and run him through with a sword. The enemy dead or alive is largely unseen. He is killed by remote control: a loud noise, a distant puff of smoke and then silence.The pictures of the victim’s wife and children, which he carries in his breast pocket, are destroyed with him. He is not heard to cry out. The question of compassion or pity or remorse does not enter into it. The enemy is not a man; he is a statistic. It is true, too, that more people are being killed at war now than previously because we’re better at doing it than we used to be. Oneman with one modern weapon can kill thousands.31.In modern wars more people get killed because _____.A) people are more cruelB) people don’t care others’livesC) people have more advanced weaponsD) people are more civilized正确答案：C32.In what way are we more civilized than the ancients?A) We can kill more people.B) We respect those people different from us.C) We have more interesting stories of war.D) We don’t think of killing as a personal affair anymore.正确答案：B33.In modern war the enemy is treated as _____.A) an animalB) a victimC) a manD) a statistic without life正确答案：D34.How is the enemy killed in modern war?A) By an opponent running him through with a sword.B) By a man who knows him well.C) By remote control.D) By a puff of smoke.正确答案：C35.What is the attitude of the author toward war?A) Negative.B) Supportive.C) Neutral.D) Indifferent.正确答案：APassage TwoQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.Given a good shopping position and the right amount of money available, an educated person ought to be able to make a small, steady living out of a bookshop. It is not adifficult trade to learn and the large chain-stores can never force the small independent bookseller out of existence as they have done to the corner shop and the local milkman. But the hours of work are very long ? I was only a part-time employee, but my employer put in a seventy-hour week, apart from regular journeys out of shopping hours to buy books. It is an unhealthy life too. As a rule a bookshop is very cold in winter, because if it is too warm the windows get steamed up, and a bookseller depends on the display in his windows trying to bring customers into his shop. Books give off more dust and dirtier dust than anything else yet invented, and the top of a book is the place where every fly prefers to die.But the real reason why I should not like to be back in the book trade for life is that while I was in it, I lost my love of books. A bookseller cannot always tell the truth about his books, and that gives him a dislike for them; still worse is the fact that he is always dusting them and moving them to-and-fro. There was a time when I really did love books ? loved the sight and smell and feel of them ? if they were fifty or more years old, that is. Nothing pleased me quite so much as to buy a bargain lot of them for 50 pence at a country auction sale. There is a peculiar flavor about the knocked-about unexpected books you pick up in that kind of collection; little-known eighteenth-century poets, out-of-date geography books, one or two volumes of forgotten novels. For occasional reading ? in your bath, for instance, or late at night when you are too tired to go to sleep ? there is nothing as good as a very old picture storybook.But as soon as I went to work in the bookshop I stopped buying books. Seen in a mass, five or ten thousand at a time, books were dull and even a little sickening.

Reading Comprehension (Multiple Choice)Directions: Read the following passages carefully and choose the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C and D.Questions 71 to 75 are based on the following passage.In the primary school, a child is in a comparatively simple setting and most of the time forms a relationship withone familiar teacher. On entering secondary school, a new world opens up and frequently it is a much more difficult world. The pupil soon learns to be less free in the way he speaks to teachers and even to his fellow pupils. He begins to lose gradually the free and easy ways of the primary school, for he senses the need for a more cautious approach in the secondary school where there are older pupils. Secondary staff and pupils suffer from the pressures of academic work and seem to have less time to stop and talk. Teachers with specialist roles may see hundreds of children in a week, and a pupil may be able to form relationships with very few of the staff. He has to decide which adults are approachable; good schools will make clear to every young person from the first year what guidance and personal help is available—but whether the reality of life in the institution actually encourages requests for help is another matter.Adults often forget what a confusing picture school can offer to a child. He sees a great deal of movement, a great number of people—often rather frightening-looking people—and realizes that an increasing number of choices and decisions have to be made. As he progresses through the school the confusion may become less but the choices and decisions required will increase. The school will rightly expect the pupil to take the first steps to obtain the help he needs, for this is the pattern of adult life for which he has to be prepared, but all the time the opportunities for personal and group advice must be presented in a way which makes them easy to understand and within easy reach of pupils.71. According to the passage one of the problems for pupils entering secondary schools is that ________.A. they are taught by many different teachersB. they do not attend lessons in every subjectC. the teachers are not so friendly and helpfulD. the teachers give most attention to a few pupils72. In secondary schools every pupil having problems should ________.A. know how to ask for helpB. go to ask any teacher he can findC. discuss his problem in classD. turn to his parents for help73. It can be inferred from the passage that the author is mainly concerned about ________.A. academic standardsB. the role of specialist teachersC. the training of the individual teachersD. the personal development of pupils74. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. All the secondary schools know the way to encourage students' requests for help.B. The secondary schools are responsible for offering personal and group advice to new pupils.C. Secondary school pupils enjoy greater freedom in communicating with teachers and fellow pupils.D. Secondary school pupils can easily get the help they need.75. The most appropriate title for the passage is ________.A. Primary School and Secondary SchoolB. Problems for New Secondary School TeachersC. Problems for New Secondary School PupilsD. Academic Work and Personal Relationship Questions 76 to 80 are based on the following passage.The US military has blocked public access to nearly all its web sites after its servers were attacked by a new computer virus.Late last week, the US Space Command, which provides security for military computers, instructed all military organizations to block public access after a number of sites had contracted the virus, called the "Code Red" bug, according to an official.The virus is known as a "denial of service" bug, because it replicates (自我复制) itself by reading the data files on a network server and sending copies to other servers—thereby multiplying and sometimes crashing a system—and denying access to legitimate (合法的) users of the site."The Code Red worm did in fact show up in some DoD (Department of Defense) web sites and we're working to contain that," Command Spokesman Army Maj. Barry Venable said. "Ways we're going about that include blocking public access to the Web sites, because that's the way this worm works, to prevent it from using our networks to propagate (繁殖) itself."The virus exploits a security flaw (缺陷) in certain Microsoft network servers. The flaw was announced last month when a patch was released to fix it."To protect our DoD web sites from being compromised, DoD organizations have been told to review the status of the Internet information servers... to make sure that all the patches that were previously installed had been installed," says Venable.Only a handful of the major Defense Department sites, with the suffix ".mil," appear currently accessible to the public, including the central public affairs site DefenseLink and the military services' main homepages. Public access is blocked to information connected to those sites, and others such as the National Missile Defense site and the US Air Force's European site. Registered Department of Defense personnel continue to have access to the sites, Venable said.76. Which of the following is the best title for this passage?A. The Code Red Worm.B. DoD Blocks Public Web Site Access.C. DoD Was Attacked.D. Protect DoD Web Sites Against Viruses.77. The word "contracted" (Para.2) most probably means ________.A. make less or smallerB. get an illnessC. make a legal agreementD. formally agree to marry somebody78. Which of the following statements is NOT true about the Code Red worm?A. It can multiply in large numbers.B. It may make a computer system stop working.C. It's included in a patch released by Microsoft.D. It may destroy the connection between legitimate users and the sites.79. Public access is blocked to most DoD web sites so that ________.A. the Code Red worm can't use the web site to replicates itself and send copiesB. DoD organizations can have necessary patches installed to protect their sitesC. the defense secrets can be prevented from being revealedD. the mistake in certain Microsoft network servers can be corrected80. Which of the following is NOT a measure taken by DoD to fight against the Code Red worm?A. Blocking public access.B. Shutting down e-mail.C. Reviewing the status of the Internet information servers.D. Having necessary patches installed. Questions 81 to 85 are based on the following passage.The decline in moral standards—which has long concerned social analysts—has at last captured the attention of average Americans. And Jean Bethke Elshtain, for one, is glad.The fact that ordinary citizens are now starting to think seriously about the nation's moral climate, says this ethics (伦理学) professor at the University of Chicago, is reason to hope that new ideas will come forward to improve it.But the challenge is not to be underestimated. Materialism and individualism in American society are the biggest obstacles. "The thought that 'I'm in it for me' has become deeply rooted in the national consciousness," Ms. Elshtain says.Some of this can be attributed to the decay of traditional communities, in which neighbors looked out for one another, she says. With today's greater mobility and with so many couples working, those bonds have been weakened, replaced by a greater emphasis on self.In a 1996 poll of Americans, loss of morality topped the list of the biggest problems facing the US. And Elshtain says the public is correct to sense that: Data show that Americans are struggling with problems unheard of in the 1950s, such as classroom violence and a high rate of births to unmarried mothers.The desire for a higher moral standard is not a lament (挽歌) for some nonexistent "golden age," Elshtain says, nor is it a wishful (一厢情愿的) longing for a time that denied opportunities to women and minorities. Most people, in fact, favor a decrease in prejudice.Moral decline will not be reversed until people find ways to counter the materialism in society, she says. "Slowly, you recognize that the things that matter are those that can't be bought."81. Professor Elshtain is pleased to see that Americans ________.A. have adapted to a new set of moral standardsB. are longing for the return of the good old daysC. have realized the importance of material thingsD. are awakening to the lowering of their moral standards82. The moral decline of American society is caused mainly by ________.A. its growing wealthB. the self-centeredness of individualsC. underestimating the impact of social changesD. the prejudice against women and minorities83. Which of the following characterizes the traditional communities?A. Great mobility.B. Emphasis on individual effort.C. Concern for one's neighbors.D. Ever-weakening social bonds.84. In the 1950s, classroom violence ________.A. was something unheard ofB. attracted a lot of public attentionC. was by no means a rare occurrenceD. began to appear in analysts' data85. According to Elshtain, the current moral decline may be reversed ________.A. if people can return to the "golden age"B. when women and men enjoy equal rightsC. when people rid themselves of prejudiceD. if less emphasis is laid on material things大学英语4 网络自主学习测验卷二（Quiz 2）Part 1.

Reading Comprehension (Multiple Choice)Directions: Read the following passages carefully and choose the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C and D.Questions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage.During the first half of the nineteenth century much thought was given to building the Panama Canal. The discovery of gold in California in 1848 brought an increased demand for a transportation link across Panama. A railroad line was completed after six years of hard labor in the swamps (沼泽) and jungles. Over two thousand workmen died from yellow fever and malaria (疟疾). In 1881 a French organization tried to build a canal across the Isthmus (巴拿马地峡). For eleven years workmen struggled against heat and disease. At least 15,000 died before the French gave up their attempts to build the canal. For years the abandoned machinery lay in the jungles. At the close of the Spanish-American War the United States bought a strip of land ten miles wide across the Isthmus. Immediate attention was given to the control of diseases. In two years yellow fever was completely eliminated. Because of the work of American medical heroes, it was possible to build the splendid Panama Canal.56.

This probably meant to Casper, who is a Greenpeace clean-energy organizer, that they were lacking the support they'd need to pass. But she also believed that California, still in its crippling energy crisis, was ripe for solar.So Casper got help, employing five students from Green Corps, a Boston-based field school for environmental campaign organizers. By the end of their second month, Casper's group had assured the victory of both solar propositions. Proposition B, which won 73 percent of the vote, allows the city to issue $100 million in revenue bonds (债券) to create active-solar facilities for city agencies, without imposing new taxes on its citizens. It opens the potential for San Francisco to nearly double its capacity of power generation. Proposition H allows the city to carry out future clean-energy projects without a citywide vote each time.How did they manage this?"First off," says Casper, "the five organizers were fresh out of school and full of energy. Second, we focused on city districts we knew would turn out to vote in favor if informed." They also targeted religious groups, which, in recent years, have increasingly shown a sense of responsibility for protecting the Earth, she says.Third, they just worked hard. They planned the campaign over breakfast at 7:00 a.m. and then worked until 10 P.M., distributing 300,000 leaflets (小册子), posting 1,500 signs, calling 50,000 voters, and gaining new support. In the end, more than 200 volunteers got involved.They impressed more than San Francisco's voters. Casper says officials of other cities, including Boulder, Colorado, have approached them for guidance, and they're happy to help. "We hope to get San Diego to be the next solar city in California," she says.71."This probably meant to Casper, who is a Greenpeace clean-energyorganizer, that they were lacking the support they'd need to pass."(Para.1) Here, "they" refer to ________.A. San Francisco votersB. Greenpeace clean-energy organizersC. two solar power propositionsD. students from Green Corps72.To Casper's mind, California was ________.A. not fit for the solar power projectB. deeply involved in energy crisisC. ready for the solar power projectD. crippled by the financial problems73.Proposition B ________.A. allowed the city to carry out each clean-energy project without avoteB. allowed San Francisco to impose new taxes on its citizensC. doubled the entire country's capacity of power generationD. eased the city's financial burden in the form of $100 millionrevenue bonds74.Casper's group focused their efforts on ________.A. city districts they thought would be most likely to vote in favor ifinformedB. the five energetic organizers fresh out of schoolC. religious groups showing great responsibility for environmentD. leaflets distribution and telephone calls75.Which city is in line to be the next solar city in California?A. Boulder.B. San Diego.C. Colorado.D. San Francisco.Questions 76 to 80 are based on the same passage or dialog. Planetary (行星的) scientists are set to write the opening chapter of A Tale of Two Comets (彗星) with next Monday's launch of Contour, an unprecedented (空前的) mission that will peer into the cores of two comets over the next four years.Where ground-based astronomers (宇航员) can see only a glowing ball whose core is shrouded (遮蔽) in dust and gas, Contour will be able to pierce that veil—and spot details in the comet's nucleus only 12 feet across.For hundreds of years, comets have caught the human imagination. Butonly recently have they come within reach of science's virtual grasp—first through optical and radio telescopes, then via spacecraft.The Contour will encounter the comets in November 2003 and it promises, with a clearer picture of their structures and locations, to expand understanding of these mysterious comets. Their collisions with a young Earth are thought to have supplied the planet with water and other chemical compounds necessary to give rise to organic life, and to have altered the course of evolution.Armed with Contour's observation facilities, as well as with data from past comet flybys, researchers will be able to explore the diversity of comets arising at different stages of their life cycle. "This is an essential next step in exploring comets," says Joseph Veverka, head of Cornell University's astronomy (天文学) department and Contour's lead investigator.76.What can Contour do?A. To send astronauts to comets.B. To see a glowing ball.C. To spot the cores of two comets.D. To peer into the dust and gas.77.What's true about comets?A. Their diameters are only 12 feet.B. Their cores are hard to pierce and observe.C. They are full of water and other compound chemicals.D. They have altered the course of evolution.78.Why didn't planetary scientists explore the mysteries of cometsbefore?A. Because comets are shrouded in dust and gas.B. Because the scientists are not ready to write A Tale of TwoComets.C. Because the scientists did not have a clear picture of theirlocations.D. Because it was only recently that the study of comets became apossibility.79.What does the word "flybys" (Para. 5) probably mean?A. Flight.B. Spacecraft.D. Cores.80.What's the essential significance of Contour's mission?A. Helping astronomers have a clearer picture of comets than before.B. Having a clear picture of their structure and location.C. Exploring the diversity of comets arising at different stages of theirlifecycle.D. Obtaining data from past comet flybys.Questions 81 to 85 are based on the same passage or dialog.Are organically grown foods the best food choices? The advantages claimed for such foods over conventionally grown and marketed food products are now being debated. Advocates of organic foods—a term whose meaning varies greatly—frequently proclaim that such products are safer and more nutritious than others.The growing interest of consumers in the safety and nutritional quality of the typical North American diet is a welcome development. However, much of this interest has been sparked by sweeping claims that the food supply is unsafe or inadequate in meeting nutritional needs. Although most of these claims are not supported by scientific evidence, the great number of written material advancing such claims makes it difficult for the general public to separate fact from fiction. As a result, claims that eating a diet consisting entirely of organically-grown foods prevents or cures disease or provides other benefits to health have become widely publicized and popular among customers.Almost daily the public is surrounded by claims for "no-aging" diets, new vitamins, and other wonder foods. There are numerous unsubstantiated (无确实根据的) reports that natural vitamins are superior to synthetic ones, that fertilized eggs are nutritionally superior to unfertilized eggs, that untreated grains are better than fertilized grains, and the like.One thing that most organically grown food products seem to have in common is that they cost more than conventionally grown foods. But in many cases consumers are misled if they believe organic foods can maintain health and provide better nutritional quality than conventionally grown foods. So there is real cause for concern if consumers, particularly those with limited incomes, distrust the regular food supply and buy only expensive organic foods instead.81.The word "Advocates" (Para. 1) is closest in meaning to which of thefollowing?B. Merchants.C. Inspectors.D. Consumers.82.What does the word "others" (Para. 1) refer to?A. Advantages.B. Advocates.C. Organic foods.D. Nonorganically-grown products.83.The author implies that there is cause for concern if consumers withlimited incomes buy organic foods instead of conventionally grownfoods because ________.A. organic foods can be more expensive but are often no better thanconventionally-grown foodsB. many organic foods are actually less nutritious than similarconventionally-grown foodsC. conventionally-grown foods are more readily available than organicfoodsD. too many farmers will stop using conventional methods to growfood crops84.According to the last paragraph, consumers who believe that organicfoods are better than conventionally-grown foods are often ________.A. carelessB. mistakenC. mistakingD. wealthy85.What is the author's attitude toward the claims made by advocates ofhealth foods?A. Very enthusiastic.B. Somewhat favorable.C. Neutral.。

In the past, grandparents, parents, and children used to live together, and they hadan extended family. But family structure is changing throughout the world. The nuclear family consists of only one father, one mother, and children; it is becoming the main family structure everywhere.The nuclear family offers married women some advantages: they have freedom from their relatives, and the husband does not have all the power of the family. Studies show that in nuclear families, men and women usually make an equal number of decisions about family life.But wives usually have to “pay”for the benefits of freedom and power. When women lived in extended families, sisters, grandparents and aunts helped one another with housework and childcare. In addition, older women in a large family group had important positions. Wives in nuclear families do not often enjoy this benefit, and they have another disadvantage, too: women generally live longer than their husbands,so older women from nuclear families often have to live alone. Studies show that women are generally less satisfied with marriage than men are. In the past, men worked outside the home and women worked inside. Housework and childcare were a full time job, and there was no time for anything else. Now women work outside and have more freedom than they did in the past, but they still have to do most of the housework. The women actually have two full-time jobs, and they have not much free time.正确答案： consists正确答案： main正确答案： offers正确答案： equal正确答案： benefits正确答案： childcare正确答案： positions正确答案： have to live alone正确答案： less satisfied with正确答案： have more freedomPart II Reading Comprehension ( 25 minutes )Section ADirections: In this section, there is a passage with several blanks.

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice.Passage OneQuestions 31 to 35 are based on thefollowing passage.Increasingly, over the past ten years, people — especially young people —have become aware of the need to change their eating habits, because much of the food they eat, particularly chemical foods, is not good for health. Consequently, there has been a growing interest in natural foods: foods which do not contain chemical additives and which have not been affected by chemical fertilizers, widely used in farming today.Natural foods, for example, are vegetables, fruits and grains which have been grown in soil that is rich in organic matter. In simple terms, this means that the soil has been nourished by unused vegetable matter, which provides it with essential vitamins and minerals. This in itself is a natural process compared with the use of chemicals and fertilizers, the main purposeof which is to increase the amount — but not the quality — of foods grown in commercial farming areas.Natural foods also include animals which have been allowed to feed and move freely in healthy pastures. Compare this with what happens in the mass production of poultry: there are battery farms, for example, where thousands of chickens live crowded together in one building and are fed on food which is little better than rubbish. Chickens kept in this way are not only tasteless as food; they also produce eggs which lack important vitamins.There are other aspects of healthy eating which are now receiving increasing attention from experts on diet. Take, for example, the question of sugar. This is actually a non-essential food! Although a natural alternative, such as honey, can be used to sweeten food if this is necessary, we can in fact do without it.It is not that sugar is harmful in itself. But it does seem to be an additive: the quantity we use has grown steadily over the last two centuries and in Britain today each person consumes an average of 200 pounds a year! Yet all it does is provide us with energy, in the form of calories. There are no vitamins in it, no minerals and no fiber. It is significant that nowadays fiber is considered to be an important part of a healthy diet. In white bread, for example, the fiber has been removed. But it is present in unrefined flour and of course in vegetables. It is interesting to note that in countries where the national diet contains large quantities of unrefined flour and vegetables, certain diseases are comparatively rare. Hence the emphasis is placed on the eating of whole meal bread and more vegetables by modern experts on healthy eating.Recently, some people are interested in natural foods because ______.A) natural foods are fresh and cheapB) they don’t like processed foodsC) they want to change their eating habitsD) these foods contain more vitamins, mineral and fiber etc.正确答案： D32.According to the passage, what does the word “battery” (Para. 3) mean? ______A) apparatus for producing electricityB) an array of similar things intended for use togetherC) a line of small boxes in which hens are kept to lay eggsD) a group or set of things like tools正确答案： CThe phrase “whole meal bread” in Para.5 refers to ______.A) white bread in which fiber has been removedB) a type of brown bread which is made of unrefined flourC) a kind of bread which can be used to cure diseasesD) a loaf of bread filled with hams and chicken正确答案： B34.It can be inferred from the passage that ______.A) people will no longer eat those foods containing chemical additivesB) people will not necessarily do exercises in the future if they eat natural foodsC) natural foods will find a good marketin the futureD) certain diseases will never befall people who eat natural foods正确答案： C35.What’s the best title for this passage? ______A) Eating Habits Are ChangingB) Healthy EatingC) Natural Food and Chemical AdditivesD) How to Go on a Diet正确答案： BPassage TwoQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.Nowadays, more and more people are using e-mail to say a few nice words to each other. The result: a new culture of love-letter writing has evolved and isrewriting the rules in how we express our love.Make no mistake: in many cases the e-mail love letters significantly resemble their ancestor. The verbal imagery has hardly changed. Experts believe, in fact, that far more people now carry out sweet talk in cyberspace than in the time before e-mail came along. When people communicate over e-mail, everything is much more relaxed, less serious, and this helps the sweet words flow.Nicola Doering, a media researcher, emphasizes that for many people contact over e-mail is simpler: “The language is a different one here than in traditional letters; people tend to write more like they speak.” This means that an e-mail writer might not have to think over every word, as is often expected with traditional love letter. This is obviously encouraging for many people.But for longer, particularly romantic love letter, e-mail writers also reach back into the language of poetry, “Your calf-blue eyes” is typical for the kind of phrasings found in e-mail love letters. Moreover, at least one traditional symbol between lovers has made an outstanding comeback. Even in the love letters of the 19th century, one often found the letter X as a symbol of a kiss. Many paper love letters would have three X’s at the bottom as a closing. And this symbol is often used today between lovers in their e-mail messages.In spite of all the technological advancement that e-mail represents, classic love letters on paper still have a special meaning, the experts say. Ink on paper simply affects many people more strongly than lines on a computer screen. It appears more serious, more obligatory, as if written for all eternity. Sometimes peoplewant to have something to touch, a letter that you can really hold in your hand.But Internet technology is ready to help even those with the courage to write a classic handwritten love letter. What stops many lovers from penning their most romantic thought is not a lack of good intention but an inability to piece together a few sweet lines, says Thomas Neuss, the organizer of one Internet site devoted to romantic letters.36.The author strongly believes that ______.A) e-mail love letters are more significant than traditional onesB) e-mail love letters are more convenient than traditional onesC) most e-mail love letters copy sweet words from traditional onesD) most e-mail love letters are quite similar to traditional ones正确答案： D37.According to Nicola Doering, the distinguishing advantage of e-mail love letters is ______.A) more spoken language can be usedB) more sweet words will be employedC) it will bring more romance to loversD) the message will be shorter and simpler正确答案： A38.By showing that the letter X is popularin e-mail love letters, the author intends to tell us ______.A) many people like using letters to express their loveB) traditional symbol between lovers hasbeen popularC) the traditional romantic expressionis also employed in e-mailsD) the language in e-mail love letters becomes simpler正确答案： C39.In the last two paragraphs, the author mentions that ______.A) the classic handwritten love letters can also be posted on the InternetB) some Internet sites can help people write classic handwritten love lettersC) the classic handwritten love letters can also be very popular among the youngsters D) courage is very important for people to write a classic handwritten love letter 正确答案： B40.The author writes this passage to______.A) show the differences between two types of lettersB) illustrate the advantages of the e-mail love lettersC) introduce to us a new culture of love-letter writingD) encourage people to use e-mail love letters more正确答案： CPart III Vocabulary and Structure ( 11 minutes )Directions: There are a number of incomplete sentences in this part.

That sounds like a great thing, but as a recent study has shown, too many choices can make us confused, unhappy, even paralyzed with indecision. “That’s particularly true when it comes to the work place”, says Barry Schwartz, an author of six books about human behavior. Students are graduating with a variety of skills and interests, but often find themselves overwhelmed when it comes to choosing an ultimate career goal. In a study, Schwartz observed decision-making among college students during their senior year. Based on answers to questions regarding their job hunting strategies and career decisions, he divided the students into two groups: maximizers, who consider every possible option, and satisfiers, who look until they find an option that is good enough. You might expect that the student who had undertaken the most exhausted search would be the most satisfied with their final decision, but it turns out that’s not true. Schwartz found that while maximizers ended up with better-paying jobs than satisfiers on average, they weren’t as happy with their decision. The reason why these people feel less satisfied is that a world of possibilities may also be a world of missed opportunities. When you look at every possible option, you tend to focus more on what was given up than what was gained. After surveying every option, a person is more acutely aware of the opportunities they had to turn down to pursue just one career.正确答案： flavors正确答案： confused正确答案： indecision正确答案： particularly正确答案： behavior正确答案： overwhelmed正确答案： ultimate正确答案： job hunting strategies正确答案： feel less satisfied正确答案： acutely aware ofPart II Reading Comprehension ( 25 minutes )Section ADirections: In this section, there is a passage with several blanks.

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice.Passage OneQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.Job sharing refers to the situation in which two people divide the responsibility of one full-time job. The two people willingly act as part-time workers, enough hours between them to fulfill the duties of a full-time worker. If they each work half the job, for example, they each receive 50 percent of the job’s wages, its holidays and its other benefits. Of course, some job sharers take a smaller or larger share of the responsibilities of the position, receiving a lesser or greater share of the benefits.Job sharing differs from conventional part-time work in that it occurs mainly in the more highly skilled and professional areas, which require higher levels of responsibility and employee commitment. Job sharing should not be confused with the term work sharing, which refers to increasing the number of jobs by reducing thenumber of hours of each existing job, thus offering more positions to the growing number of unemployed people. Job sharing, by contrast, is not designed to address unemployment problems; its focus, rather, is to provide well-paid work for skilled workers and professionals who want more free time for other activities.As would be expected, women constitute the bulk of job sharers. A survey carded out in 1988 by Britain’s Equal Opportunities Commission revealed that 78 per cent of sharers were female, the majority of whom were between 20 and 40 years of age. Subsequent studies have come up with similar results. Many of these women were re-entering the job market after having had children, but they chose not to seek part-time work because it would have meant lower status.Job sharing also offered an acceptable shift back into full-time work after a long absence. The necessity of close cooperation when sharing a job with another person makes the actual work quite different from conventional one-position jobs. However, to ensure a greater chance that the partnership will succeed, each person needs to know the strengths, weaknesses and preferences of his or her partner before applying for a position. Moreover, there must be a fair division of both routine tasks and interesting ones. In sum, for a position to be job-shared well, the two individuals must be well matched and must treat each other as equals.31.“Employee commitment” in Paragraph 2 refers to the employee’s ________.A) loyaltyB) qualificationC) devotionD) technique正确答案： A32.Work sharing is different from job sharing in that __________.A) it requires more working hoursB) it doesn’t matter with the unemployment problemsC) it creates more job opportunities for the unemployedD) it offers a more satisfactory salary正确答案： C33.Job sharing is popular with young mothers mainly because _________.A) they can take care of both work and familyB) they are over ideal working agesC) they seek equal opportunities with menD) they have difficulty finding full-time jobs正确答案： A34.In job sharing the partners should __________.A) be social equalsB) know each other very wellC) be intimate friendsD) have similar working experience正确答案： B35.The main purpose of the passage is to ___________.A) distinguish between job sharing and work sharingB) describe job sharing in generalC) criticize job sharing as inefficientD) discuss a way to tackle unemployment正确答案： BPassage TwoQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.Taking charge of yourself involves putting to rest some very prevalent myths. At the top of the list is the notion that intelligence is measured by your ability to solve complex problems; to read, write and compute at certain levels; and to resolve abstract equations quickly. This vision of intelligence asserts formal education and bookish excellence as the true measures of self fulfillment. It encourages a kind of intellectual prejudice that has brought with it some discouraging results. We have come to believe that someone who has more educational merit badges, who is very good at some form of school discipline is “intelligent.” Yet mental hospitals are filled with patients who have all of the properly lettered certificates.A truer indicator of intelligence is an effective, happy life lived each day and each present moment of every day.If you are happy, if you live each moment for everything it’s worth, then you are an intelligent person. Problem solving is a useful help to your happiness, but if you know that given your inability to resolve a particular concern you can still choose happiness for yourself, or at a minimum refuse to choose unhappiness, then you are intelligent. You are intelligent because you have the ultimate weapon against the big N.B.D. ― Nervous Break Down.Intelligent people do not have N.B.D.s because they are in charge of themselves. They know how to choose happiness over depression, because they know how to deal with the problems of their lives.You can begin to think of yourself as truly intelligent on the basis of how you choose to feel in the face of trying circumstances. The life struggles are pretty much the same for each of us. Everyone who is involved with other human beings in any social context has similar difficulties. Disagreements, conflicts and compromises are a part of what it means to be human. Similarly, money, growing old,sickness, deaths, natural disasters and accidents are all events which present problems to virtually all human beings. But some people are able to make it, to avoid immobilizing depression and unhappiness despite such occurrences, while others collapse or have an N.B.D. Those who recognize problems as a human condition and don’t measure happiness by an absence of problems are the most intelligent kind of humans we know; also, the most rare.36.According to the author, the conventional notion of intelligence measured in terms of one’s ability to read, write and compute ________.A) is a widely accepted but wrong conceptB) will help erase intellectual prejudiceC) derives from all mental distressD) will contribute to one’s self accomplishment正确答案： A37.We can infer from the passage that holding a university degree ________.A) may result in one’s inability to solve complex real life problemsB) does not indicate one’s ability to write properly worded documentsC) may make one mentally sick and physically weakD) does not mean that one is highly intelligent正确答案： D38.The author thinks that an intelligent person knows ________.A) how to put up with some prevalent mythsB) how to find the best way to achieve successC) how to obtain happiness and reject unhappinessD) how to persuade others to compromise正确答案： C39.In the last paragraph, the author tells us that ________.A) difficulties are but a part of everyone’s lifeB) difficulties in life are the root causes of depression and unhappinessC) everybody should learn to avoid trying circumstancesD) good feelings can contribute to eventual academic excellence正确答案： A40.According to the passage, what kind of people are scarce?A) Those who don’t emphasize bookish excellence in their pursuit of happiness.B) Those who are aware of difficulties in life but know how to avoid unhappiness.C) Those who measure happiness by an absence of problems but seldom suffer from N.B.Ds.D) Those who are able to secure happiness though having to struggle against trying circumstances.正确答案： BPart III Vocabulary and Structure ( 10 minutes )Directions: There are a number of incomplete sentences in this part.

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice.Passage OneQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.Increasingly, over the past ten years, people ―especially young people ―have become aware of the need to change their eating habits, because much of the food they eat, particularly chemical foods, is not good for health. Consequently, there has been a growing interest in natural foods: foods which do not contain chemical additives and which have not been affected by chemical fertilizers, widely used in farming today.Natural foods, for example, are vegetables, fruits and grains which have been grown in soil that is rich in organic matter. In simple terms, this means that the soil has been nourished by unused vegetable matter, which provides it with essential vitamins and minerals. This in itself is a natural process compared with the use of chemicals and fertilizers, the main purpose of which is to increase the amount ―but not the quality ―of foods grown in commercial farming areas.Natural foods also include animals which have been allowed to feed and move freely in healthy pastures. Compare this with what happens in the mass production of poultry: there are battery farms, for example, where thousands of chickens live crowded together in one building and are fed on food which is little better than rubbish. Chickens kept in this way are not only tasteless as food; they also produce eggs which lack important vitamins.There are other aspects of healthy eating which are now receiving increasing attention from experts on diet. Take, for example, the question of sugar. This is actually a non-essential food! Although a natural alternative, such as honey, can be used to sweeten food if this is necessary, we can in fact do without it. It is not that sugar is harmful in itself. But it does seem to be an additive: the quantity we use has grown steadily over the last two centuries and in Britain today each person consumes an average of 200 pounds a year! Yet all it does is provide us with energy, in the form of calories. There are no vitamins in it, no minerals and no fiber.It is significant that nowadays fiber is considered to be an important part of a healthy diet. In white bread, for example, the fiber has been removed. But it is present in unrefined flour and of course in vegetables. It is interesting to note that in countries where the national diet contains large quantities of unrefined flour and vegetables, certain diseases are comparatively rare. Hence the emphasis is placed on the eating of whole meal bread and more vegetables by modern experts on healthy eating.31.Recently, some people are interested in natural foods because ______.A) natural foods are fresh and cheapB) they don’t like processed foodsC) they want to change their eating habitsD) these foods contain more vitamins, mineral and fiber etc.正确答案：D32.According to the passage, what does the word “battery”(Para. 3) mean? ______A) apparatus for producing electricityB) an array of similar things intended for use togetherC) a line of small boxes in which hens are kept to lay eggsD) a group or set of things like tools正确答案：C33.The phrase “whole meal bread”in Para.5 refers to ______.A) white bread in which fiber has been removedB) a type of brown bread which is made of unrefined flourC) a kind of bread which can be used to cure diseasesD) a loaf of bread filled with hams and chicken正确答案：B34.It can be inferred from the passage that ______.A) people will no longer eat those foods containing chemical additivesB) people will not necessarily do exercises in the future if they eat natural foodsC) natural foods will find a good market in the futureD) certain diseases will never befall people who eat natural foods正确答案：C35.What’s the best title for this passage? ______A) Eating Habits Are ChangingB) Healthy EatingC) Natural Food and Chemical AdditivesD) How to Go on a Diet正确答案：BPassage TwoQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.The quality of university life is declining under strain from the higher education, leading independent schools in Britain complained. The warning followed survey of the impressions of campus life gained by students of school. Poor interviewing of the applicants, infrequent contact with tutors, worries over student safety, and even complaint over the food were all seen as symptoms of the pressure on universities. Head teachers said that standards could well drop if the squeeze on university budgets continued. A survey was carried out because of fears that the level of green area in universities had declined. A great number of student suicides had raised concerns among head teachers.Although most of the 6,000 students surveyed were enjoying university life, almost a third were less than satisfied with their course. About one in 10 had serious financial problems and some gave alarming accounts of conditions around their halls of residence. Incidents mentioned included a fatal stabbing and shooting outside a hall of residence, the petrol-bombing of cars near another residence, and two racist attacks. Nine percent of women and seven percent of men rated security as unsatisfactory in the area where they lived. Salford University had the lowest satisfaction rating. Lancaster and Kingston universities were rated the safest.The survey confirmed head teachers’fears about contact between students and tutors slipping, with a quarter of the students seeing their tutors only every three weeks. New students, used to regular contact with their teachers, found it hard to adapt to the change. Interview techniques were a cause for concern, with the school calling for more training of university staff involved in admissions. Some headmasters complained that interviews were increasingly “odd”. One greeted an applicant by throwing him an apple. Another interview lasted only three minutes. About a quarter of the students found the workload at university heavier than they had expected. Imperial College London, Oxford and Cambridge universities registered by far the highest workload. There were differences between subjects, with architecture, engineering, veterinary science, medicine and some science subjects demanding the most work. Veterinary science was nevertheless the most popular subject, followed by physiotherapy and history of art. General engineering, economics, computing and sociology were the least popular. The survey also confirmed previous concerns about possible racial prejudice in admissions to medical courses.

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice.Passage OneQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.Careers for women should not be any different from careers for men. Decisions about gainful and satisfying employment for women should be made on the basis of individual interest and abilities. A variety of factors can help women find better jobs. Women need better career planning and counseling. They should be encouraged to develop personal goals that will enable them to compete for good jobs in light of their abilities, desires and training. Career guidance should begin at the junior high school level, or even at the elementary school level, with the assistance of counselors, teachers and parents. Some women must change their career aspirations. Since openings in the usual women’s occupations will not be sufficient to supply jobs for all women seeking work, they must choose alternatives in other occupations. Many of these jobs may pay higher wages and offer greater opportunities for promotion. In the past, too many women were forced to settle for second best. Others were willing to settle for inferior jobs because they felt that their stay in the labor force would be temporary. However, the situation is changing as more and more women become aware of the possibility of combining the roles of wife, mother, and homemaker with that of paid worker. Employer’s attitudes about women’s roles and desires to work need to be changed. Perhaps, the overriding factors and the myths that employers, policymakers, and others in our society have unfairly associated with the work patterns of women. One such myth is that women are not seriously attached to the labor force, as they work only for pocket money. However, one recent study shows that of the 33 million women in the labor force, more than half are working because of pressing economic needs. These women comprise a group who are either single, widowed, divorced, separated, or married to men with incomes of less than $ 5,000 a year. Women constitute nearly two fifths of the work force. However, because of foregone conclusions about their interests and abilities, women are unfairly restricted in the kinds of jobs they hold. Their concentration in the less rewarding, lower paying occupations with fewer chances for advancement. Personal choice in the world of work will begin to become a reality when the guidance counselor, the shop teacher, the plant employer, and women themselves are able to develop an appreciation for the differences in personal abilities and desires.31.Which of the following is the thing that the author advises women to do?A) To stay at home and become proficient with domestic work.B) To take jobs reserved for men when other jobs are unavailable.C) To remain in jobs usually dominated by women.D) To settle for second best jobs.正确答案：B32.According to this essay, women have often settled for inferior jobs because _____.A) they only work for pocket moneyB) they do not expect to work very longC) employers have put much emphasis on factory laborersD) they think they are inferior to men正确答案：B33.According to the essay, which one is not mentioned?A) Women should appreciate their desires and personalities in choosing jobs for themselves.B) Women should plan their careers and consult others.C) Women should apply for jobs which offer higher pay and promotion.D) Women should, first of all, be good housewives whatever they do, or wherever they aim .正确答案：D34.Which of the following best expresses the main idea of this essay?A) Equality for men and women in employment is easier said than done.B) There should not be any difference between careers for men and women.C) Women should not have a sense of inferiority.D) Women are being treated unfairly in employment.正确答案：B35.Which is stated that is beneficial and helpful for women in job hunting?A) Employment direction.B) A peculiar self-introduction.C) Keeping relaxed in the interview.D) Concentrating on inferior jobs.正确答案：APassage TwoQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.If you were to examine the birth certificates of every soccer player in 2006’s World Cup tournament you would most likely find a noteworthy quirk: elite soccer players are more likely to have been born in the earlier months of the year than the later months. If you then examined the European national youth teams that feed the World Cup and professional ranks, you would find this strange phenomenon to be even more pronounced.What might account for this strange phenomenon? Here are a few guesses：a)certain astrological signs confer superior soccer skills. b) winter-born babies tend to have higher oxygen capacity which increases soccer stamina. c) soccer mad parents are more likely to conceive children in springtime at the annual peak of soccer mania. d) none of the above.Anders Ericsson, a 58-year-old psychology professor at Florida State University, says he believes strongly in “none of the above.”Ericsson grew up in Sweden, and studied nuclear engineering until he realized he would have more opportunity to conduct his own research if he switched to psychology. His first experiment nearly years ago, involved memory: training a person to hear and then repeat a random series of numbers. “With the first subject, after about 20 hours of training his digit span had risen from 7 to 20,”Ericsson recalls. “He kept improving, and after about 200 hours of training he had risen to over 80 numbers.”This success coupled with later research showing that memory itself was not genetically determined, led Ericsson to conclude that the act of memorizing is more of a cognitive exercise than an intuitive one. In other words, whatever inborn differences two people may exhibit in their abilities to memorize those differences are swamped by how well each person “encodes”the information. And the best way to learn how to encode information meaningfully, Ericsson determined, was a process known as deliberate practice. Deliberate practice entails more than simply repeating a task. Rather, it involves setting specific goals, obtaining immediate feedback and concentrating as much on technique as on outcome.Ericsson and his colleagues have thus taken to studying expert performers in a wide range of pursuits, including soccer. They gather all the data they can, not just predominance statistics and biographical details but also the results of their own lavatory experiments with high achievers. Their work makes a rather startling assertion: the trait we commonly call talent is highly overrated. Or, put another way, expert performers whether in memory or surgery, ballet or computer programming are nearly always made, not born.36.The birthday phenomenon found among soccer players is mentioned to _____.A) emphasize the significance of professional trainingB) spotlight the soccer superstars in the World CupC) introduce the topic of what makes expert performanceD) state the importance of gifts in playing soccer正确答案：C37.The word “mania”（Paragraph 2）most probably means _____.A) funB) crazeC) hysteriaD) excitement正确答案：B38.According to Ericsson, good memory _____.A) depends on meaningful processing of informationB) results from intuitive rather than cognitive exercisesC) is determined by genetic rather than psychological factorsD) requires immediate feedback and a high degree of concentration正确答案：D39.Ericsson and his colleagues believe that _____.A) talent plays a dominating role in professional successB) biographical data provide the key to excellent performanceC) the role of talent tends to be overlookedD) high achievers owe their success mostly to nurture正确答案：D40.Which of the following proverbs is closest to the message the text tries to convey？A) “Look before you leap.”B) “One reaps what one sows.”C) “Practice makes perfect.”D) “Where there’s a will, there’s a way.”正确答案：CPart III Vocabulary and Structure ( 10 minutes )Directions: There are a number of incomplete sentences in this part.

This probably meant to Casper, who is a Greenpeace clean-energy organizer, that they were lacking the support they'd need to pass. But she also believed that California, still in its crippling energy crisis, was ripe for solar.So Casper got help, employing five students from Green Corps, a Boston-based field school for environmental campaign organizers. By the end of their second month, Casper's group had assured the victory of both solar propositions. Proposition B, which won 73 percent of the vote, allows the city to issue $100 million in revenue bonds (债券) to create active-solar facilities for city agencies, without imposing new taxes on its citizens. It opens the potential for San Francisco to nearly double its capacity of power generation. Proposition H allows the city to carry out future clean-energy projects without a citywide vote each time.How did they manage this?"First off," says Casper, "the five organizers were fresh out of school and full of energy. Second, we focused on city districts we knew would turn out to vote in favor if informed." They also targeted religious groups, which, in recent years, have increasingly shown a sense of responsibility for protecting the Earth, she says.Third, they just worked hard.

Boulder.B. San Diego.C. Colorado.D. San Francisco.Questions 76 to 80 are based on the same passage or dialog. Planetary (行星的) scientists are set to write the opening chapter of A Tale of Two Comets (彗星) with next Monday's launch of Contour, an unprecedented (空前的) mission that will peer into the cores of two comets over the next four years.Where ground-based astronomers (宇航员) can see only a glowing ball whose core is shrouded (遮蔽) in dust and gas, Contour will be able to pierce that veil—and spot details in the comet's nucleus only 12 feet across.For hundreds of years, comets have caught the human imagination. Butonly recently have they come within reach of science's virtual grasp—first through optical and radio telescopes, then via spacecraft.The Contour will encounter the comets in November 2003 and it promises, with a clearer picture of their structures and locations, to expand understanding of these mysterious comets. Their collisions with a young Earth are thought to have supplied the planet with water and other chemical compounds necessary to give rise to organic life, and to have altered the course of evolution.Armed with Contour's observation facilities, as well as with data from past comet flybys, researchers will be able to explore the diversity of comets arising at different stages of their life cycle. "This is an essential next step in exploring comets," says Joseph Veverka, head of Cornell University's astronomy (天文学) department and Contour's lead investigator.76.What can Contour do?A. To send astronauts to comets.B. To see a glowing ball.C. To spot the cores of two comets.D. To peer into the dust and gas.77.What's true about comets?A. Their diameters are only 12 feet.B. Their cores are hard to pierce and observe.C. They are full of water and other compound chemicals.D. They have altered the course of evolution.78.Why didn't planetary scientists explore the mysteries of cometsbefore?A. Because comets are shrouded in dust and gas.B. Because the scientists are not ready to write A Tale of TwoComets.C. Because the scientists did not have a clear picture of theirlocations.D. Because it was only recently that the study of comets became apossibility.79.What does the word "flybys" (Para. 5) probably mean?A. Flight.B. Spacecraft.D. Cores.80.What's the essential significance of Contour's mission?A. Helping astronomers have a clearer picture of comets than before.B. Having a clear picture of their structure and location.C. Exploring the diversity of comets arising at different stages of theirlifecycle.D. Obtaining data from past comet flybys.Questions 81 to 85 are based on the same passage or dialog.Are organically grown foods the best food choices? The advantages claimed for such foods over conventionally grown and marketed food products are now being debated. Advocates of organic foods—a term whose meaning varies greatly—frequently proclaim that such products are safer and more nutritious than others.The growing interest of consumers in the safety and nutritional quality of the typical North American diet is a welcome development. However, much of this interest has been sparked by sweeping claims that the food supply is unsafe or inadequate in meeting nutritional needs. Although most of these claims are not supported by scientific evidence, the great number of written material advancing such claims makes it difficult for the general public to separate fact from fiction. As a result, claims that eating a diet consisting entirely of organically-grown foods prevents or cures disease or provides other benefits to health have become widely publicized and popular among customers.Almost daily the public is surrounded by claims for "no-aging" diets, new vitamins, and other wonder foods. There are numerous unsubstantiated (无确实根据的) reports that natural vitamins are superior to synthetic ones, that fertilized eggs are nutritionally superior to unfertilized eggs, that untreated grains are better than fertilized grains, and the like.One thing that most organically grown food products seem to have in common is that they cost more than conventionally grown foods. But in many cases consumers are misled if they believe organic foods can maintain health and provide better nutritional quality than conventionally grown foods. So there is real cause for concern if consumers, particularly those with limited incomes, distrust the regular food supply and buy only expensive organic foods instead.81.The word "Advocates" (Para. 1) is closest in meaning to which of thefollowing?B. Merchants.C. Inspectors.D. Consumers.82.What does the word "others" (Para. 1) refer to?A. Advantages.B. Advocates.C. Organic foods.D. Nonorganically-grown products.83.The author implies that there is cause for concern if consumers withlimited incomes buy organic foods instead of conventionally grownfoods because ________.A. organic foods can be more expensive but are often no better thanconventionally-grown foodsB. many organic foods are actually less nutritious than similarconventionally-grown foodsC. conventionally-grown foods are more readily available than organicfoodsD. too many farmers will stop using conventional methods to growfood crops84.According to the last paragraph, consumers who believe that organicfoods are better than conventionally-grown foods are often ________.A. carelessB. mistakenC. mistakingD. wealthy85.What is the author's attitude toward the claims made by advocates ofhealth foods?A. Very enthusiastic.B. Somewhat favorable.C. Neutral.。
