Each passage is followed by some questions or incomplete statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A,B,C and D. You should decide on the best choice, and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage 1“If you want to see a thing wel l, reach out (伸出手) and touch it!”That may seem a strange thing to say. But touching things can help you to see them better. Your eyes can tell you that a glass ball is round. But by holding it in your hands, you can feel how smooth (光滑) and cool the ball is. You can feel how heavy the glass is. When you feel all these about the ball, you really see it. With your skin, you can feel better. For example, your fingers can tell the difference between two coins in your pocket. You can feel a little drop of water on the back of your hand, too.All children soon learn what “Don’t touch!” means. They hear it often. Yet most of us keep on touching things as we grow up. In shops, we touch things as we might buy: food, clothes. To see something well, we have to touch it. There are ways of learning to see well by feeling. One way is to close your eyes and try to feel everything that is touching your skin. Feel the shoes on your feet, the clothes on your body, the air on your skin. At first, it is not easy to feel these things. You are too used to (习惯于) them!Most museums are just for looking. But today some museums have some things to touch. Their signs say, “Do touch!” There you can feel everything on show. If we want to see better, reach out and touch. Then you will really see!61. By touching things,________ .A. you will have a strange feelingB. you will learn how to reach out your handC. you can know them betterD. you can tell what colors they are62. When people buy things in shops, they often________ .A. buy them firstB. keep their right hands on themC. ask about themD. feel and touch them63. Why does it say “At first, it is not easy to feel these things”? Because________ .A. the things are used by people, tooB. people feel the things too oftenC. people know how to use the thingsD. the things are easy to feel64. Which of the following is true?A. Touching is more important than seeing.B. Our feet, fingers, hands and skin can help us buy food.C. People have to learn to see by feeling as they grow up.D. Visitors can feel the things on show in some museums.65. Which of the following can be the best title of the story?A. Touching by Feeling.B. To See or to Feel?C. To See Better — Touch.D. Ways of Feeling.Passage 2The old V olkswagen Beetle —“The Bug” — is making a comeback. People who own them are planning to keep them forever. People who don’t own them are paying high prices when they can find one for sale. It’s more remarkable when you realize that VW doesn’t even make them anymore!A spokesman for V olkswagen of America says there were about five million “Bugs” on American roads in 1977.That was the last year they were shipped to America. VW estimates that about four million of them are still running and running and running.Used car dealers say they can’t keep “Bugs” on their lots these days. They feel it’s because these cars have a history of reliable, inexpensive transportation. The cars average about 30 miles per gallon of gas.But all hasn’t been smooth going for the “Bugs”. The heating system is poor. And since it travels very close to the ground, larger cars tend to splash it with winter’s snow and mud. Some in the safety field consider the Beetle as defenseless against heavier cars. But the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has nothing that shows any problem with them at all.66. American people like to have a “Bug”,________.A. because it is no more in productionB. because it is reliable and energy savingC. because it is remarkable and easy to driveD. because it is safe67. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?A. “Bugs” are more popular than other cars in America.B. “Bugs” are now produced in small quantity.C. American feel proud if they can own a “Bug”.D. No “Bugs” h ave been shipped to America since 1977.68. In the last sentence of the second paragraph, the word “them” refers to________ .A. a car by the name of V olkswagen BeetleB. heavier cars imported from other countriesC. people in the safety fieldD. people from National Highway Traffic Administration69. What is the problem with a “Bug”?A. It does not go smoothly.B. It is not comfortable in winter.C. It splashes mud and water.D. It travels too slowly.70. What can be concluded according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration?A. They are going to investigate into “Bugs” problem.B. Some of the “Bugs” are not usable any more.C. It is defenseless when it is hit by a heavy car.D. The “Bugs” is good for use.Passage 3There are many ways to learn about people of other lands. One way is to study the clothing other people wear. For thousands of years, people in different part of the world have worn very different types of clothing. There are four big reasons for this.One reason might be religion. In many Moslem countries, women must wear veils to hide their faces. The veils must be worn in public. Veils are part of the Moslem religion. The second reason is that different materials are used in different countries. For instance, in France the materials used in clothing may be cotton, silk, wool, or many other man made materials. Most people in China wear cotton.The ways clothes are made are also very different. This is another reason why people dress differently. Western countries rely on machines to make most of their clothing. Someone living inIndia can use only hand power to make the clothing he needs.World wide differences in customs also lead to differences in clothing. A Mexican farmer wears a straw hat with a brim up. In China, a farmer wears a straw hat with a brim down. Both hats are used to protect the farmers from the sun. Some of these customs have come down through thousands of years.71. If you want to learn about the differences about people in the world, you________.A. should know the ways to study other landsB. should know the four big reasons given in the passageC. may study the different types of clothing people wearD. may be surprised by the ways people wear hats72. In many Moslem countries, women have to ________ in public.A. wear more clothes than menB. cover their faces with veilsC. protect their faces from being hurtD. wear religious clothing73. Which of the following is the reason for the differences in clothing?A. Materials used for clothes differ from country to country.B. Cotton is the common material for clothing.C. Man made materials are invented to make clothes.D. Most people like silk clothes.74. The third reason for difference in clothing is________ .A. different materialsB. different ways of making clothesC. different styles of dressingD. different religions75. The two examples of wearing hats are given in the last paragraph to show________ .A. the effect of customs on dressing styleB. the function of wearing straw hatC. the correct way of wearing straw hatD. the long history of some customsPassage 4Pressure Cooker (高压锅) SafetyWhen you are cooking with a pressure cooker, you should learn a few common sense (常识) rules:1. Never leave the cooker unwatched when it is in use.2. Add sufficient liquid but never past the recommended fill point. Overfilling the cooker may block the vent pipe (排气孔) and cause the cooker to explode.3. Set the cooking time. Too much time may overcook the food or too much pressure may build up in the cooker.

Never try to force a pressure cooker cover open. Allow the cooker to cool or run it under cool water before trying to open the cover.6. Clean the cooker thoroughly after each use. Mild detergent (洗涤剂) and hot water work the best. Do not use stove ash or sand for they may damage the cooker. The gasket (密封圈) is best cleaned in warm soapy water and then dried.

He was glad and stared at it for some time, then wrote “105” on the corner of the trademark with a pencil, meaning he had already drunk 105 bottles of the famous wine. Two days later a stranger came. He offered to pay 5 yuan for the empty Mao Tai bottle. Mr. Chen was pleased and sold it. Several weeks later, his second son brought him another bottle of Mao Tai. While examining and enjoying it, he was suddenly terrified—he found “105”—the very mark on it.71.

According to the story, who do you say learned a lesson?A. The strangerB. Mr. ChenC. His neighbourD. Mr. Chen’s eldest sonPassage FourDo you find getting up in the morning so difficult that it is painful? This might be called laziness, but Dr. Kleitman has a new explanation. He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle.During the hours when you labour through your work you may say that you’re “hot”. That’s true. The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak. For some people the peak comes during the forenoon. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so, but it leads to such familiar monologues (自言自语) as: “Get up, John! You’ll be late for work again!” The possible explanation to the trouble is that John is at his temperature-and-energy peak in the evening. Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean, and which cycle each member of the family has.You can’t change your energy cycle, but you can learn to make your life it better. Habit can help, Dr. Kleitman believes. Maybe you’re sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway. Counteract (对抗) your cycle to some extent by habitually staying up later than you want to. If your energy is low in the morning but you have an important job to do early in the day, rise before your usual hour. This won’t change your cycle, but you’ll get up steam (鼓起干劲) and work better at your low point.Get off to a slow start which saves your energy. Get with a leisurely yawl and stretch. Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the trouble some search for clean clothes by laying them out the night before. When ever possible, do routine work in the afternoon and save tasks requiring more energy or concentration for your sharper hours.76. If a person finds getting up early a problem, most probably _______.A.he is a lazy personB.he refuses to follow his own energy cycleC.he is not sure when his energy is lowD.he is at his peak in the afternoon or evening77. Which of the following may lead to family quarrels according to the passage?A. Unawareness of energy cycles.B. Familiar monologues.C. A change in a family member’s energy cycle.Attempts to control the energy cycle of other family member.78. If one wants to work more efficiently at his low point in the morning, he should _____.A. change his energy cycle C. get up earlier than usualB. overcome his laziness D. go to bed earlier79. You are advised to rise with a yawn and stretch because it will ______.A.help to keep your energy for the day’s workB.help you to control your temper early in the dayC.enable you to concentrate on your routine workD.keep your energy cycle under control all day80. Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?A.Getting off to work with a minimum effort helps save one’s energy.B.Dr. Kleitman explains why people reach their peak at different hours of day.C.Habit helps a person adapt to his own energy cycle.D.Children have energy cycles, too.Ⅴ. Writing (20 points)Directions:For this part, you are allowed 20 minutes to write a short composition of about 80 words on the title: Fake Commodities. Base your composition on the outline given below.1.假冒伪劣商品是个严重问题。

Choose one best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage oneWhat do you use to get around town? A cat? A bike? Your feet? Perhaps you should try a Segway!The Segway is perfect for short journey. It is an electric vehicle that consists of a platform between two wheels, with a pole that connects the platform to the handlebars. To ride it, you step up onto the platform, and control the Segway by moving your body. Lean forwards to go faster, and backwards to slow down.On older models, direction is controlled by a twist grip（扭转把手）on the left handlebar. This varies the speeds between the two motors, a decrease in the seed of the left wheel would turn the Segway to the left. With never models you simply lean to the left or right. Meanwhile, a gyroscope （陀螺仪）detects your movements and prevents the machine form falling over. The Segway has a maximum speed of 19 km per hour and a range of about 38 km. After that, you need to plug it in and recharge the battery.Segways are used for a variety of purposes. People with mobility problems can now enjoy walks in the country with their friends and family. Some golfers use them as an alternative to the golf cart. And dog owners now have an easier way to take the dog to the park. A few police forces use Segways, too. They allow officers to move quickly whilst maintaining contact with the public.They are also becoming a common sight on airport. However, the most popular use is in tourism, particularly for city tours. Visit any major tourist city in summer, sit outside a cafe for a while and there is a good chance you will see a group of tourists passing on Segways.36.What is the Segway according to this passage?A. A pole that connects two handlebars.B.A newly appeared public traffic vehicle.C. A bicycle with a platform between two wheels.D. An electric two-wheeled vehicle for short trips.37.How do you turn to the left on Segways of newer models?A.Lean to the leftB.Adjust the twist gripC.Press the left barD.Control the gyroscope38.How far can you travel on a Segway at most?A..Less than 19 kmB..About 19 kmC. About 38 kmD.More than 38 km39.The last paragraph focuses on ____?A.What a Segway is likeB.Where to find a SegwayC. How to control a SegwayD. When a Segway is usefulPassage TwoNancy Bright and her husband John had been working overtime and saving for a long time so that they could pay the advance for Nancy’s dream house. Today was the day that they had enough money in hand to make a down payment on the house. But the real estate （房地产）agent informed them that she had received another offer for the house. Although the other offer was slightly less than that of Nancy and John’s, that person with the new offer was willing to pay the whole amount at once .The owner, in urgent need of money, wanted to accept the second offer. Nancy and John looked at each other with disappointed looks. They walked back home feeling very low about having lost the house. Soon they recovered and involved themselves into their daily lives, though once in a while Nancy would sink into a mild depression over losing the house. One day Nancy woke up in the morning feeling even lower than usual. She kept feeling sick, even lost interest in her routine coffee. She pull all these symptoms down to the stress of working hard and losing her dream house. A week passed and she seemed to get worse. John was worried and insisted on taking her to the doctor. The doctor, after taking a few tests, informed them with a huge smile that Nancy was two months pregnant! John and Nancy were overjoyed but also worried about not having their own house before the baby was born.One evening Nancy wandered into the street where her dream house was, and as she passed byit, she was surprised to see that there were notices stuck on all the house. On closer examination she found that the notices were for all the residents to move out of the house as they were building a highway and the whole row of the houses needed to be pulled down. Nancy suddenly realized that not getting her dream house had been a blessing in disguise. She thanked God and decided to be happy with the blessings she had and started looking forward to the birth of her child.40.Why did Nancy and her husband lose their dream house?A.They couldn’t pay the whole amount for the house at once.B.Someone else offered more money for the house.C.They couldn’t afford the advance for the house.D.The house owner decided not to sell the house.41.How did they feel after they lost their dream house?A.They felt sorry and hardly recovered.B.They felt relieved but with little regent.C.They enjoyed their daily lives all the same.D.They were depressed but tried to adjust themselves.42.What did Nancy find about the house one day?A.It would be on sale again.B.It would be pulled down.C.It had been redecorated.D.It had been emptied.43.What does the phrase “a blessing in disguise” in the last paragraph mean?A.A good luckB.A dirty trickC.A secret wishD.A false alarmPassage ThreeMost of the guests who come on our trips have never been to Egypt before. We want to make everyone comfortable and at ease, but we do always get the same question in advance of a trip. So here I will give you some travel tips.What should I wear?If you are lucky enough to visit Egypt between November and February, pack a sweater. You’ll need it --the desert gets chilly at night.. During the day, the temperature will be agreeable and comfortable. Any other time, pack as if you are going to phoenix or Vegas in August. For the ladies bathing suits are normal if there’s a pool where you’re going, but leave the string bikini at home --it is a Muslim country, after all. Last, if you’re planning on visiting any mosques or certain parts of upper Egypt, ladies will need to plan on bringing something that comes at least to the elbows, and no shorts for men or women in those areas.What special things do I need to pack?One of my favorite things in the world to bring to Egypt is an Evian Mister, a sprayer with a fine mist of Evian water. You may be able to find it in your local drug store. Spray a little on yourface or head, and your body temperature will feel like it’s dropped 10 to 15 degrees. Other items include your camera, sun block and extra batteries.How do I communicate with home?Internet cafes are plentiful everywhere, especially in Cairo, Luxor, and Alexandria. If you have international calling on your phone, you should be able to use it----AT&T and sprint both work internationally for sure, but may sure you have the international coverage. A satellite phone is best if you are certain to need coverage in the middle of the country, like while sailing up the Nile, but for most people these days a cell phone is fine.What medical preparation do I need?In a word: none! The one thing you may come down with in Egypt is politely called “Pharoah’s Revenge” The thing that knocks out Pharoah’s Revenge is a regionally produced medicine ,and is available at every drugstore for $ 1 a box. DON’T drink local water, DO drink bottled water, avoid the skins of fresh vegetables, and you will be fine.44.What clothing is proper for ladies visiting a mosque?A.string bikinisB.Long-sleeve closesC.Bathing suitsD.Shorts45.What’s the use of an Evian Mister?A.to relieve your thirstB.To prevent sunburnsC.To cool yourself downD.To drive away insects46.What information is provided about distance communication?A.A cell phone is enough for most people.B.AT&T and sprint offer free service in Egypt.C.A satellite phone does not work in Mid-Egypt.D.Internet cafes are only available in big cities.47.What does “Pharoah’s Revenge” probably refer to in the last paragraph?A.A curseB.A legendC.DiseaseD.Vegetable缺passage four49. Which word best describe the homeless man?A. AngryB. UntidyC. SensitiveD. Impolite50. Why did Robby go back to the hot dog seller?A. She wanted to thank the hot dog sellerB. The homeless man asked for a hot dogC. She wanted to buy a hot dog for the homeless manD. The hot dog was so delicious that Robby wanted another51. What is the theme of this passage?A. The rich should help the poorB. One good turn deserves anotherC. Kindness is the greatest wisdomD. A kindness shown, a kindness sownPassage FiveWhatever you do, don’t challenge a chimpanzee named Ayumu to a number memory game.In 2007, Ayumu became famous for his lightning speed at a game that goes like this: A player views a computer screen where the numbers 1 through 9 appear briefly at once and then turn to white squares. The player then taps the squares where the numbers had been, in order from 1 to 9.People can do it. But no human competitor has ever completed the game faster or more accurately than Ayumu the chimp. For almost five years Ayumu remains undefeated. Psychologist Nicholas Humphrey of Darwin College at Cambridge University in England now thinks he knows the secret behind the chimp’s ability. Humphrey suspects Ayumu’s brain may have a condition that allows the chimp to see numbers as colors. This would mean that Ayumu may see a color glow after the numbers disappears. Then, instead of remembering the numbers, he remembers a sequence of colors, each associated with a number.The condition that Humphrey believes Ayumu may have is called synesthesia. Humans with synesthesia may associate numbers and letters with colors. For example, a person may see the number “5”as the color blue. Until now, scientists had assumed only humans could have synesthesia.Humphrey found the inspiration for his idea at a 2011 scientific conference. There, he heard a presentation about Ayumu’s memory abilities and another talk about synesthesia. He then put the two ideas together.Not everyone is convinced that Humphrey is correct. Primatologist Tetsuro Matsuzawa of the Primate Research Institute at Kyoto University in Japan has spent decades studying the amazing memories of chimpanzees, including Ayumu. He maintains that chimps simply have faster memory recall than people.52.What is Ayumu famous for?A.His gift in playing computers.B.His talent in calculating numbers.C.His skill in tapping the numbered squares.D.His amazing performance in memory game.53.Which of the following is true of Nicholas Humphrey?A.He thinks Ayumu has an amazing memory.B.He believes that Ayumu sees the colors of numbers.C.He was inspired by Primatologist Tetsuro Matsuzawa.D.He delivered a speech on synesthesia at the 2011conference.54.Where does Humphrey get the inspiration for his idea?A.From an experimentB.From a conferenceC.From a research on chimpanzeesD.From the color blue55.How does Tetsuro Matsuzawa explain Ayumu’s performance in the game?A.Ayumu uses synesthesia.B.Ayumu is cleverer than most chimps.C.Chimps recall things faster than people.D.Chimps are good at dealing with number.E.Ⅴ.Daily Conversation (15 points)Direction: Pick out appropriate expressions from the eight choices below and complete the following dialogue by blackening the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.A.I’m very pleased to be hereB. Did you ever find each otherC. But is was a miracleD.I remember you said you wanted to get a sweaterE. It could even be a disasterF. Actually, I’ve got the list ready.G. Did you get anything H.I don’t want to talk about it anymoreMary: Well, Susan, how was your shopping trip with Nancy this afternoon?Susan: Don’t ask. _56_ HMary: What do you mean? Something went wrong?Susan: Went wrong? _57_ E ! Nancy thought I had said I would meet her at the department store at 2:30 when I really said 2:00.Then she thought we would meet at the main entrance in front when I really said at the east entrance on the Twelfth Street.Mary:_58_ B ?Susan: Yes! _59_ C I had given up waiting and went inside the women’s clothing department. So did she. Thus we met finally and it was 3:00 by then.Mary: Did you get what you wanted? _60_ DSusan: A blouse, as a matter of fact. But by that time, all those on sale were gong. So I settled for a skirt.Ⅵ.Writing (25 points)Direction: For this part, you are supposed to write an essay in English in 100～120 words based on the following information.

Perhaps you should try a Segway!The Segway is perfect for short journey. It´s an electric vehicle that consists of a platform between two wheels,with a pole that connects the platform to the handlebars. To ride it,you step up onto the platform,and control the Segway by moving your body. Lean forwards to go faster,and backwards to slow down.On older models, direction is controlled by a twist grip(扭转把手)on the left handlebar. This varies the speeds between the two motors, a decrease in the speed of the left wheel would turn the Segway to the left. With newer models you simply lean to the left or right. Meanwhile, a gyroscope(陀螺仪)detects your movements and prevents the machine from falling over. The Segway has a maximum speed of 19 km per hour and a range of about 38 km. After that,you need to plug it in and recharge the battery.Segways are used for a variety of purposes. People with mobility problems can now enjoy walks in the country with their friends and family. Some golfers use them as an alternative to the golf cart. And dog owners now have an easier way to take the dog to the park. A few police forcesuse Seg-ways,too. They allow officers to move quickly whilst maintaining contact with the public. They´ re also becoming a common sight on airport. However, the most popular use is in tourism, particularly for city tours. Visit any major tourist city in summer,sit outside a cafe for a while and there´ s a good chance you’ll see a group of tourists passing on Segways.第21题What is the Segway according to this passage?A.A pole that connects two handlebars.B.A newly appeared public traffic vehicle.C.A bicycle with a platform between two wheels.D.An electric two-wheeled vehicle for short trips.第22题How do you turn to the left on Segways of newer models?A.Lean to the left.B.Adjust the twist grip.C.Press the left bar.D.Control the gyroscope.第23题How far can you travel on a Segway at most?A.Less than 19 km.B.About 19 km.C.About 38 km.D.More than 38 km.第24题The last paragraph focuses on______.A.what a Segway is likeB.where to find a SegwayC.how to control a SegwayD.when a Segway is useful上一题下一题(25~28/共20题)Part ⅢReading ComprehensionDirections:There are some reading passages in this part.

Today was the day that they had enough money in hand to make a down payment on the house. But the real estate(房地产)agent informed them that she had received another offer for the house. Although the other offer was slightly less than that of Nancy and John´s, that person with the new offer was willing to pay the whole amount at once. The owner,in urgent need of money,wanted to accept the second offer.Nancy and John looked at each other with disappointed looks. They walked back home feeling very low about having lost the house. Soon they recovered and involved themselves into their daily lives,though once in a while Nancy would sink into a mild depression over losing the house.One day Nancy woke up in the morning feeling even lower than usual. She kept feeling sick,even lost interest in her routine coffee. She put all these symptoms down to the stress of working hard and losing her dream house. A week passed and she seemed to get worse. John was worried and insisted on taking her to the doctor. The doctor, after taking a few tests, informed them with a huge smile that Nancy was two months pregnant! John and Nancy were overjoyed but also worried about not having their own house before the baby was born.One evening Nancy wandered into the street where her dream house was,and as she passed by it,she was surprised to see that there were notices stuck on all the houses. On closer examination she found that the notices were for all the residents to move out of the houses as they were building a highway and the whole row of houses needed to be pulled down. Nancy suddenly realized that not getting her dream house had been a blessing in disguise. She thanked God and decided to be happy with the blessings she had and started looking forward to the birth of her child.第25题Why did Nancy and her husband lose their dream house?A.They couldn´ t pay the whole amount for the house at once.B.Someone else offered more money for the house.C.They couldn´t afford the advance for the house.D.The house owner decided not to sell the house.第26题How did they feel after they lost their dream house?A.They felt sorry and hardly recovered.B.They felt relieved but with little regret.C.They enjoyed their daily lives all the same.D.They were depressed but tried to adjust themselves.第27题What did Nancy find about the house one day?A.It would be on sale again.B.It would be pulled down.C.It had been redecorated.D.It had been emptied.第28题What does the phrase "a blessing in disguise" in the last paragraph mean?A.A good luck.B.A dirty trick.C.A secret wish.D.A false alarm.上一题下一题(29~32/共20题)Part ⅢReading ComprehensionDirections:There are some reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked [A]、[B]、[C] and [D]. Choose one best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet.Most of the guests who come on our trips have never been to Egypt before. We want to make everyone comfortable and at ease,but we do always get the same questions in advance of a trip.So here I will give you some travel tips. What should I wear?If you´ re lucky enough to visit Egypt between November and February, pack a sweater. You’ll need it—the desert gets chilly at night. During the day, the temperature will be agreeable and comfortable. Any other time,pack as if you´re going to Phoenix or Vegas in August. For the ladies,bathing suits are normal if there´ s a pool where you ´ re going, but leave the string bikini at home—it is a Muslim country,after all. Last,if you are planning on visiting any mosques or certain parts of upper Egypt,ladies will need to plan on bringing something that comes at least to the elbow,and no shorts for men or women in those areas. What special things do I need to pack?One of my favorite things in the world to bring to Egypt is an Evian Mister, a sprayer with a fine mist of Evian water. You may be able to find it in your local drug store. Spray a little on your face or head,and your body temperature will feel like it´s dropped 10 or 15 degrees. Other items include your camera,sun block and extra batteries.How do I communicate with home?Internet cafes are plentiful everywhere, especially in Cairo, Luxor, and Alexandria. If you have international calling on your phone, you should be able to use it—AT&T and Sprint both work internationally for sure,but make sure you have the international coverage. A satellite phone is best if you are certain to need coverage in the middle of the country, like while sailing up the Nile, but for most people these days a cell phone is fine. What medical preparation do I need?In a word: none! The one thing you may come down with in Egypt is politely called " Pharoah´s Revenge". The thing that knocks out Pharoah´ s Revenge is a regionally produced medicine,and is available at every drugstore for $1 a box. DON´T drink local water,DO drink bottled water,avoid the skins of fresh vegetables,and you’ll be fine.第29题What clothing is proper for ladies visiting a mosque?A.String bikinis.B.Long-sleeve clothes.C.Bathing suits.D.Shorts.第30题What´ s the use of an Evian Mister?A.To relieve your thirst.B.To prevent sunburns.C.To cool yourself down.D.To drive away insects.第31题What information is provided about distance communication?A.A cell phone is enough for most people.B.AT&T and Sprint offer free service in Egypt.C.A satellite phone doesn´ t work in Mid-Egypt.D.Internet cafes are only available in big cities.第32题What does "Pharoah´ s Revenge" probably refer to in the last paragraph?A.A curse.B.A legend.C.A disease.D.A vegetable.上一题下一题(33~36/共20题)Part ⅢReading ComprehensionDirections:There are some reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked [A]、[B]、[C] and [D]. Choose one best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet.It was a beautiful day for sightseeing around downtown Portland. We were on our day off and out for some fun. The weather was perfect for a picnic,so when lunch time came,we set our sights on a small park in town. Since we all had different tastes,we decided to split up,get what each of us wanted, and meet back on the grass in a few minutes.When my friends Robby headed for a hot dog stand, I decided to keep her company. We watched the seller put together the perfect hot dog,just the way Robby wanted it. But when she took out her money to pay him,the man surprised us."It looks a bit smaller on the cool side, "he said, "so never mind paying me. This will be my freebie of the day. "We said our thanks,joined our friends in the park,and dug into our food. But as we talked and ate,I noticed a man sitting alone nearby,looking at us. I could tell that he hadn´ t showered for days. Another homeless person,I thought,like all the others you see in cities. I didn´ t pay much more attention than that.We finished eating and decided to head -off for more sightseeing. But when Robby and I went to the garbage can to throw away my lunch bag, I heard a strong voice, " There isn´ t any food in that bag,is there?"It was the man who had been watching us. I didn´ t know what to say. "No,I ate it already. " "Oh,"was his only answer, with no shame in his voice at all. He was obviously hungry, couldn´ t bear to see anything thrown away, and was used to asking this question.I felt bad for the man,but I didn´t know what I could do. That´ s when Robby said, "I’ll be right back. Please wait for me a minute," and ran off. I watched curiously as she went across to the hot dog stand. Then I realized what she was doing. She bought a hot dog,crossed back to the garbage can,and gave the hungry man the food.When she came back to us, Robby said simply," I was just passing on the kindness that someone gave to me. "第33题Why did the seller offer Robby a free hot dog?A.It was offered for a large order.B.The hot dog didn´t look big enough.C.It was a special favor to a lady customer.D.The seller gave away a free hot dog every day.第34题Which word best describes the homeless man?A.Angry.B.Untidy.C.Sensitive.D.Impolite.第35题Why did Robby go back to the hot dog seller?A.She wanted to thank the hot dog seller.B.The homeless man asked her for a hot dog.C.She wanted to buy a hot dog for the homeless man.D.The hot dog was so delicious that Robby wanted another.第36题What is the theme of this passage?A.The rich should help the poor.B.One good turn deserves another.C.Kindness is the greatest wisdom.D.A kindness shown,a kindness sown.上一题下一题(37~40/共20题)Part ⅢReading ComprehensionDirections:There are some reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked [A]、[B]、[C] and [D]. Choose one best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet.Whatever you do,don´t challenge a chimpanzee named Ayumu to a number memory game.In 2007, Ayumu became famous for his lightning speed at a game that goes like this: A player views a computer screen where the numbers 1 through 9 appear briefly at once and then turn to white squares. The player then taps the squares where the numbers had been,in order from 1 to 9. People can do it. But no human competitor has ever completed the game faster or more accurately than Ayumu the chimp. For almost five years Ayumu remains undefeated.Psychologist Nicholas Humphrey of Darwin College at Cambridge University in England now thinks he knows the secret behind the chimp´ s ability. Humphrey suspects Ayumu´ s brain may have a condition that allows the chimp to see numbers as colors. This would mean that Ayumu may see a color glow after the number disappears. Then,instead of remembering the numbers,he remembers a sequence of colors, each associated with a number.The condition that Humphrey believes Ayumu may have is called synesthesia. Humans with synesthesia may associate numbers and letters with colors. For example,a person may see the number "5"as the color blue. Until now,scientists had assumed only humans could have synesthesia.Humphrey found the inspiration for his idea at a 2011 scientific conference. There, he heard a presentation about Ayumu´ s memory abilities and another talk about synesthesia. He then put the two ideas together.Not everyone is convinced that Humphrey is correct. Primatologist Tetsuro Matsuzawa of the Primate Research Institute at Kyoto University in Japan has spent decades studying the amazing memories of chimpanzees, including Ayumu. He maintains that chimps simply have faster memory recall than people.第37题What is Ayumu famous for?A.His gift in playing computers.B.His talent in calculating numbers.C.His skill in tapping the numbered squares.D.His amazing performance in a memory game.第38题Which of the following is true of Nicholas Humphrey?A.He thinks Ayumu has an amazing memory.B.He believes that Ayumu sees the colors of numbers.C.He was inspired by Primatologist Tetsuro Matsuzawa.D.He delivered a speech on synesthesia at the 2011 conference.第39题Where does Humphrey get the inspiration for his idea?A.From an experiment.B.From a conference.C.From a research on chimpanzees.D.From the color blue.第40题How does Tetsuro Matsuzawa explain Ayumu´ s performance in the game?A.Ayumu uses synesthesia.B.Ayumu is cleverer than most chimps.C.Chimps recall things faster than people.D.Chimps are good at dealing with number.上一题下一题(41~55/共15题)Part IV ClozeDirections:For each blank in the following passage, there are four choices marked [A]、[B]、[C] and [D].

Questions 61 ~ 65 are based on the following passage:There are three common calendar systems in use by the United States higher education institution. Semester Systems are one of them.The academic year is divided into two terms, each of which provides for about 15 weeks of instruction plus a week for final examinations. The fall semester, considered the first term of the academic year, usually begins in September or late August, and it is increasingly common for the term to start early enough to be completed before the two-week Christmas holiday. Colleges start later in September. The second or spring semester usually begins sometime in January and ends in late May or early June. Most schools schedule a one- or two-week vacation in March or April. A variation of the semester system being tried by some institutions is the “4—1—4” calendar, which has a four-month fall semester ending in December, a one-month short term in January for which students may enroll if they wish, and another four-month semester beginning early in February.61. In the United States, the students will stay in school for about _D___ a year.A. 15 weeksB. 16 weeksC. 30 weeksD. 32 weeks62. The academic year begins _B__.A. in late SeptemberB. in late AugustC. sometime in JanuaryD. in late May63. The first term ends __C__.A. after Christmas holidayB. in MayC. before Christmas holidayD. in fall64. The second term lasts about _D___.A. five monthsB. four monthsC. six monthsD. five or six months65. In the “4—1—4” calendar system, the first term begins _B__.A. In DecemberB. In AugustC. In JanuaryD. In FebruaryQuestions 66~70 are based on the following passage:In sport the sexes are separate. Women and men do not run or swim in the same faces. Women are less strong than men. That at least is what people say. Women are call ed “the weaker sex”, or, if men want to please them, “the fair sex”. But boys and girls are taught together at schools and universities. There are women who are famous Prime Ministers, scientists and writers. And women live longer than men. A European woman can expect to live until the age of 74, a man only until he is 68. Are women’s bodies really weaker?The fastest men can run a mile in under 4 minutes. The best women need 4.5 minutes. Women’s times are always slower than men’s, but some facts are a surp rise. Some of the fastest women swimmers today are teen-age girls. One of them swam 400 meters in 4 minutes 21.2 seconds whenshe was only 16. The first “Tarzan”(泰山) in films was an Olympic swimmer, Johnny Weiss Muller. His fastest 400 meters was 4 minutes 59.1 seconds, which is 37.9 seconds slower than a girl 50 years later! This does not mean that women are catching men up. Conditions are very different now, and sport is much more serious. It is so serious that some women athletes are given hormone injections. At the Olympics a doctor has to check whether the women athletes are really women or not. It seems sad that sport has such problems. Life can be very complicated when there are two separate sexes!66. Women are called “the weaker sex” because _B___.A. women do as much work as menB. people think women are weaker than menC. sport is easier for men than for womenD. in sport the two sexes are always together67. Which of the following is true? BA. Boys and girls study separately everywhere.B. Women do not run or swim in races with men.C. Famous Prime Ministers are women.D. Men can expect to live longer than women in Europe.68. “That at least is what people say.” Means people__C__.A. say other things tooB. don’t say this muchC. say this but may not think soD. only think this69. What problems does sport have? BA. Some women athletes are actually men.B. Some women athletes are given hormone injections.C. Women and men do not run or swim in the same races.D. It is difficult to check whether women athletes are really women.70. In this passage the author implies that _C___.A. women are weaker than men, but fasterB. women are slower than men, but strongerC. men are not always stronger and faster than womenD. men are faster and stronger than womenQuestions 71~75 are base on the following passage:The stamp collector can learn a great deal from the colorful pieces of paper he put in his album. In addition to learning some basic things about organization and systematic arrangement, the stamp collector can receive a good course in history and geography from stamps. As a collector progresses and becomes more specialized, stamps teach him some basic facts about engraving, paper, and printing.Stamps are excellent sources of historical information. Almost every nation celebrates its military heroes and political leaders on its postage stamps. But scientists and artists, from Einstein to Beethoven, also grace the stamps of the world. Famous battles are frequently commemorated, as well as buildings an d scenes which have historical significance. Several of the world’s stamps are beautiful, full-color reproductions of the artistic masterpieces of different historical periods.Stamps also offer instruction in geography. It doesn’t take long before a begin ning collector checks the locations of the countries from which his stamps come. Nations like Liechtenstein, San Marino, Andorra, Gabon, Ghana, and Afghanistan, while unknown to many, are usually quitefamiliar to stamp collectors. Moreover, each country tends to use stamps to advertise its natural wonders. Such renowned attractions as Yosemite National Park, Victoria Falls, Mount Everest, and the Bay and Fundy appear on the stamps of the nation within whose borders they lie.If he wishes to become more of a specialist, the stamp collector can learn some basic things about engraving, paper, and printing. The more advanced collector learns to distinguish between offset and letterpress printing. He learns to identify the different impressions made by metal and wooden engraved plates. He finds out how to detect watermarks in the various papers used for stamps, and how to identify the characteristics of different papers and the coatings which are applied to them. To the layman, most stamps appear pretty much the same. But armed with a magnifying glass, the more specialized collector can tell the difference between a common issue and a rare variety.71. Which of the following statements do you think best describes the main idea of the essay? CA. A stamp collector must have a great deal of knowledge in history and geography.B. A stamp collector should be good at organization and systematic arrangement.C. A stamp collector can learn a lot from the stamps he collects.D. A stamp collector is a specialist who know much about engraving, paper and printing.72. The word “album” in the first sentence means_B__.A. a holder for sets of discB. a blank book used for collecting stampsC. a frame in which the best stamps are displayedD. a small box where colorful stamps are kept73. “Basic thing about organization and systematic arrangement” refers to __D_.A. postal organizations and systems that print and issue new stampsB. various organizations and systems that sell new stampsC. organizations all over the world that offer help to stamp collectorsD. knowledge or information about how to organize and arrange things in good order74. Which of the following statements is NOT true? CA. Almost all nations issue stamps celebrating their military heroes or political leaders.B. Famous battles and buildings of historical significance are frequently commemorated onstamps.C. Few scientists and artists appear on stamps.D. Scientists and artists as well as political and military leaders are celebrated on stamps.75. A layman is a person who__D__.A. has just started collecting stampsB. is a beginning collectorC. is not very much interested in stamp collectingD. does not have much professional knowledgeIII. Cloze (1 mark each)Directions: There are 20 blanks in the following passage. For each blank there are four choices marked A, B, C and D on the right side of the paper. You should choose the one answer that best fits into the passage. Then blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a pencil. Some years ago, the captain of a ship was very interested in medicine.

Translation from English into Chinese (15 marks)Directions: In this part there is a passage with 5 underlined parts, numbered 76~80. After reading the passage carefully, you should translate the underlined parts into Chinese.Science falls into two main categories: pure science and applied science. (96) Pure science considers how the universe works and how life has developed into the plants and animals we see on earth today. By means of pure science(such as chemistry, physics, geology, biology, or astronomy) we learn the laws of nature, the way the bodies of beasts and men are constructed, and how the minds of men function. (97) Applied science, often called engineering or technology (such as civil, mechanical, electrical, or chemical engineering), puts the laws of nature to practical use on building better structures and machines for the comfort and convenience of men. When a man learns some new fact by research in pure science, we say that he has made a scientific discovery. 98) When he puts an earlier discovery to some practical use, in a new and original way, we say that he has made an invention. In the two hundred years since the beginning of the great change that we call the Industrial Revolution, developments both in pure and in applied sciencespeeded up in a way that the world had never before seen. All the sciences leaped forward, neck and neck like horses in a race. (99) At one time, one pulled ahead; then another caught up with and passed it. An invention in one field made possible some discovery in another; and that discovery, in turn, permitted another new application of science for the benefit of man. (100) For example: the invention of the microscope led to the discovery of germs; eventually, the germ theory of disease made possible the curing of many ills for which no effective treatment had ever before been know.答：96. 理论科学研究宇宙怎样运行，生命怎样发展成为我们今天在地球上所看到的植物和动物。

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.When we meet a person, our first impression is based on their body language and their speech. When someone goes up on a stage, or gives a presentation at a business meeting, many pairs of eyes will be following and judging this person. If you are up there and talking, you want to give your best impression. While many workshops and online videos focus on teaching us how to adjust our body language to appear confident and convince others of our message, less attention is given to how we phrase things. Speech should flow, but there is this one little bad habit most of us have—one that builds a dam in our flowing sentences. This habit makes our message sound as if we are building our foundations on quicksand. Do you know which bad habit I mean? It is the habit of using that not-even-a-word in too many sentences, i.e., the habit of saying “uhm”—something we generally are not even aware of. When we let this habit slip into our speech, it weakens our message, and our audience and clients will be less convinced of our claims. The nasty thing about “uhm” is that it’ s often too tiny to even notice. It has become part of our expressions and virtually everybody does it. Therefore, it takes practice and effort to unlearn stuffing our sentences with it. To get a hold of your bad habit of using “uhm” , you can try the following exercises: 1)Record your speech when you prepare: 2)Write out your entire speech beforehand: 3)Take a moment to center yourself: and 4)Speak a little more slowly. Make a pledge today: drop the “uhm”!16．The main topic of the passage is______.A．how to give a good impressionB．how to use body languageC．how to build confidenceD．how to make your speech flow正确答案：D17．By the “bad habit” , the author refers to______.A．speaking very slowlyB．speaking too fastC．speaking in a broken wayD．speaking in a critical way正确答案：C18．The “bad habit” is harmful because it makes the speaker look______.A．stupidB．unpreparedC．unconfidentD．unfriendly正确答案：C19．The word “unlearn” (Para. 5)can be replaced with “______.”A．undoB．stopC．breakD．move正确答案：B20．The last paragraph is concerned with______.A．the strategies to get rid of the bad habitB．the importance of forming good habitsC．the difficulties in speech preparationD．the necessity of being confident正确答案：AIn the old days, when schools wanted to communicate with parents, they sent a letter home. Now, in addition to email, schools and parents can connect through social media like Twitter, Facebook and Skype. The Houston Independent School District in Texas has more than two hundred thousand students. Most of them come from lower-income families. Education Week recently reported on a digital literacy training program that the district has just started for parents. The school district with help from Microsoft has established computer training centers for parents at five of its campuses. Other schools around the country are also increasing their digital services and not just in English. Many schools provide information in Spanish and other languages. Free online translation sites can also help parents stay informed about their children’ s education. Some school systems also give parents online access to their children’s grades and school work. Six hundred students attend Knapp Elementary School near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Principal Joe Mazza says almost one in five students come from Bangladesh and twelve percent from South Korea. The school diversity is clear as soon as visitors enter the building. “So if you are walking in our school lobby, you are going to see English, Bengali, Korean, Spanish and all of the Finnish in the school. Now we feel that a welcoming, bright, informative, child-centered lobby really helps parents feel welcomed, honored andrespected.”21．Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a means for schools to communicate with parents?A．Social media.B．Parent meetings.C．Letters.D．Email.正确答案：B22．The digital literacy training program is intended to______.A．help students learn foreign languagesB．better the education of studentsC．help parents to use computersD．promote the development of social media正确答案：C23．Schools provide information in various languages to______.A．better communicate with parentsB．help students to find jobsC．help parents communicate with each otherD．meet legal requirements of the state正确答案：A24．The lobby described in the last paragraph illustrates the feature of______.A．first-class environmentB．convenient facilitiesC．digital servicesD．school diversity正确答案：D25．As can be inferred from the passage, ______.A．students from lower-income families need more careB．students from different countries should be respectedC．schools value their communication with parentsD．parents need to learn more about social media正确答案：CI was nervous—desperately nervous—about becoming car-free. But eight months ago our car was hit, and the damage was so bad it had to be given up. And that’s when I had an idea. Why not just give up having a car at all? The more I thought about it, the more sensible it seemed. We have a railway station behind our house, a tube station 10 minutes’ walk away, and a bus stop at the end of the street. If any family in Britain could live without a car, I reasoned, then surely we were that family? But my new car-free plan wasn’t shared by my family. My teenage daughters were shocked. How would they get to and from university? (A bus, I suggested.)What would their friends think about our family being “too poor to afford a car” ? (I wasn’ t that bothered what they thought, and I suggested they take the same approach.) My friends, too, were astonished at our plan. Wasn’ t a car essential, when you had children? What would happen if someone got seriously ill overnight and needed to go to hospital (erm...an ambulance?). People smiled, as though this was another of my mad ideas, before saying they were sure I’d soon realise that a car wasn’ t a luxury, it was a necessity. Eight months on, I wonder whether we’ 11 ever own a car again. The idea that you “have” to own a car, especially if you live in a city, is all in the mind. I live—and many other people do too—in a community that has never been better served by public transport, and yet car ownership has never been higher. Do I really need a car? The answer, for me, turned out to be no, and I’m a lot richer because I dared to ask the question.26．The author decided to live a car-free life______.A．after his car was damaged beyond repairB．after he was hurt in a terrible car accidentC．because maintaining a car was too costlyD．because the traffic jam was too much for him正确答案：A27．Which can best describe the attitude of the author’ s family toward his plan?A．Supportive.B．Understanding.C．Indifferent.D．Opposing.正确答案：D28．What did the author suggest his daughters do in response to what others may say about owning a car?A．Think it over.B．Take their advice.C．Argue with them.D．Ignore them.正确答案：D29．What did the author’ s friends try to tell him?A．It is possible to live a car-free life.B．There is no need for expensive cars.C．A car is a necessary part of life.D．They’ 11 follow him if he’ s successful.正确答案：C30．What conclusion does the author draw after the eight-month car-free life?A．He needs to buy a new car.B．He is better off without a car.C．Life without a car is a little bit hard.D．A car-free life does not suit everyone.正确答案：BAs any working mum can tell you, running a business and a family at the same time is an almost impossible act. There are never enough hours in the day and most days spill well into the late evening hours. My story starts with a simple red bump (小包)on my back. Turns out, the bump was actually skin cancer! The diagnosis hit me like a ton of bricks. I was in my mid-20s and living a very healthy life. Cancer at that point was unimaginable. And, yet, it was all too true. After crying and crying for days, I finally decided to do something positive about my skin cancer diagnosis. After researching, I knew scientists had found that UV(紫外线)exposure as a child leads to skin cancer later in life—especially for fair skinned people—and I did not want my children to suffer the same fate. So, I decided to quit my job and start my own business. Thus was born SwimZip swimwear—stylish swimsuits with protection that block 99% of those nasty cancer causing UV rays. These cute, sun protective clothes can actually save lives! The choice to follow my passion and help prevent children from getting skin cancer was an easy one, but turning that passion into a successful business, while being a full-time mum, was a whole different story. Being a mum and business owner has been very difficult. I often feel like I cannot ever give as much energy to parenting or working as I would like. After several busy work days, I know I have to take a break, leave the phone at home, and just go out and give 100% to my child. Of course, by the time I get back to being CEO, the “to-do”list has grown enormous te (late, late, late!)nights are the norm. Starting a business from the ground up, and while parenting full time, has been an enormous challenge.31．The author is all the following EXCEPT ______.A．a business womanB．a full-time parentC．a sufferer of skin cancerD．a swim wear model正确答案：D32．According to the passage, skin cancer is likely caused by______.A．childhood exposure to UVB．sensitivity of the skinC．unhealthy swimsuitsD．staying up late正确答案：A33．“Late (late, late, late!)nights are the norm” (Para. 5)is closest in meaning to “______.”A．She works more efficiently at nightB．She often reads story books at nightC．She usually works late into the nightD．She normally mails packages at night正确答案：C34．What led the author to quit her job and start her own business?A．She was unable to hold her job because of her condition.B．She wanted to help prevent children from getting skin cancer.C．She wanted to set an example for her children.D．She could earn more money to raise the family.正确答案：B35．The author most likely sells swimwear specially made for______.A．adultsB．childrenC．sportsmenD．infants正确答案：BPart II V ocabulary and Structure (30%)Directions: In this part, there are 30 incomplete sentences.

Each passage is followed by some questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. You should choose the ONE best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a pencil. Questions 61 ~ 65 are based on the following passage:There are three common calendar systems in use by the United States higher education institution. Semester Systems are one of them.The academic year is divided into two terms, each of which provides for about 15 weeks of instruction plus a week for final examinations. The fall semester, considered the first term of the academic year, usually begins in September or late August, and it is increasingly common for the term to start early enough to be completed before the two-week Christmas holiday. Colleges start later in September. The second or spring semester usually begins sometime in January and ends in late May or early June. Most schools schedule a one- or two-week vacation in March or April. A variation of the semester system being tried by some institutions is the “4—1—4” calendar, which has a four-month fall semester ending in December, a one-month short term in January for which students may enroll if they wish, and another four-month semester beginning early in February.61. In the United States, the students will stay in school for about _D___ a year.A. 15 weeksB. 16 weeksC. 30 weeksD. 32 weeks62. The academic year begins _B__.A. in late SeptemberB. in late AugustC. sometime in JanuaryD. in late May63. The first term ends __C__.A. after Christmas holidayB. in MayC. before Christmas holidayD. in fall64. The second term lasts about _D___.A. five monthsB. four monthsC. six monthsD. five or six months65. In the “4—1—4” calendar system, the first term begins _B__.A. In DecemberB. In AugustC. In JanuaryD. In FebruaryQuestions 66~70 are based on the following passage:In sport the sexes are separate. Women and men do not run or swim in the same faces. Women are less strong than men. That at least is what people say. Women are call ed “the weaker sex”, or, if men want to please them, “the fair sex”. But boys and girls are taught together at schools and universities. There are women who are famous Prime Ministers, scientists and writers. Andwomen live longer than men. A European woman can expect to live until the age of 74, a man only until he is 68. Are women’s bodies really weaker?The fastest men can run a mile in under 4 minutes. The best women need 4.5 minutes. Women’s times are always slower than men’s, but some facts are a surp rise. Some of the fastest women swimmers today are teen-age girls. One of them swam 400 meters in 4 minutes 21.2 seconds when she was only 16. The first “Tarzan”(泰山) in films was an Olympic swimmer, Johnny Weiss Muller. His fastest 400 meters was 4 minutes 59.1 seconds, which is 37.9 seconds slower than a girl 50 years later! This does not mean that women are catching men up. Conditions are very different now, and sport is much more serious. It is so serious that some women athletes are given hormone injections. At the Olympics a doctor has to check whether the women athletes are really women or not. It seems sad that sport has such problems. Life can be very complicated when there are two separate sexes!66. Women are called “the weaker sex” because _B___.A. women do as much work as menB. people think women are weaker than menC. sport is easier for men than for womenD. in sport the two sexes are always together67. Which of the following is true? BA. Boys and girls study separately everywhere.B. Women do not run or swim in races with men.C. Famous Prime Ministers are women.D. Men can expect to live longer than women in Europe.68. “That at least is what people say.” Means people__C__.A. say other things tooB. don’t say this muchC. say this but may not think soD. only think this69. What problems does sport have? BA. Some women athletes are actually men.B. Some women athletes are given hormone injections.C. Women and men do not run or swim in the same races.D. It is difficult to check whether women athletes are really women.70. In this passage the author implies that _C___.A. women are weaker than men, but fasterB. women are slower than men, but strongerC. men are not always stronger and faster than womenD. men are faster and stronger than womenQuestions 71~75 are base on the following passage:The stamp collector can learn a great deal from the colorful pieces of paper he put in his album. In addition to learning some basic things about organization and systematic arrangement, the stamp collector can receive a good course in history and geography from stamps. As a collector progresses and becomes more specialized, stamps teach him some basic facts about engraving, paper, and printing.Stamps are excellent sources of historical information. Almost every nation celebrates its military heroes and political leaders on its postage stamps. But scientists and artists, from Einstein to Beethoven, also grace the stamps of the world. Famous battles are frequently commemorated,as well as buildings an d scenes which have historical significance. Several of the world’s stamps are beautiful, full-color reproductions of the artistic masterpieces of different historical periods.Stamps also offer instruction in geography. It doesn’t take long before a begin ning collector checks the locations of the countries from which his stamps come. Nations like Liechtenstein, San Marino, Andorra, Gabon, Ghana, and Afghanistan, while unknown to many, are usually quite familiar to stamp collectors. Moreover, each country tends to use stamps to advertise its natural wonders. Such renowned attractions as Yosemite National Park, Victoria Falls, Mount Everest, and the Bay and Fundy appear on the stamps of the nation within whose borders they lie.If he wishes to become more of a specialist, the stamp collector can learn some basic things about engraving, paper, and printing. The more advanced collector learns to distinguish between offset and letterpress printing. He learns to identify the different impressions made by metal and wooden engraved plates. He finds out how to detect watermarks in the various papers used for stamps, and how to identify the characteristics of different papers and the coatings which are applied to them. To the layman, most stamps appear pretty much the same. But armed with a magnifying glass, the more specialized collector can tell the difference between a common issue and a rare variety.71. Which of the following statements do you think best describes the main idea of the essay? CA. A stamp collector must have a great deal of knowledge in history and geography.B. A stamp collector should be good at organization and systematic arrangement.C. A stamp collector can learn a lot from the stamps he collects.D. A stamp collector is a specialist who know much about engraving, paper and printing.72. The word “album” in the first sentence means_B__.A. a holder for sets of discB. a blank book used for collecting stampsC. a frame in which the best stamps are displayedD. a small box where colorful stamps are kept73. “Basic thing about organization and systematic arrangement” refers to __D_.A. postal organizations and systems that print and issue new stampsB. various organizations and systems that sell new stampsC. organizations all over the world that offer help to stamp collectorsD. knowledge or information about how to organize and arrange things in good order74. Which of the following statements is NOT true? CA. Almost all nations issue stamps celebrating their military heroes or political leaders.B. Famous battles and buildings of historical significance are frequently commemorated onstamps.C. Few scientists and artists appear on stamps.D. Scientists and artists as well as political and military leaders are celebrated on stamps.75. A layman is a person who__D__.A. has just started collecting stampsB. is a beginning collectorC. is not very much interested in stamp collectingD. does not have much professional knowledgeIII. Cloze (1 mark each)Directions: There are 20 blanks in the following passage. For each blank there are four choices marked A, B, C and D on the right side of the paper. You should choose the one answer that best fits into the passage. Then blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a pencil.Some years ago, the captain of a ship was very interested in medicine.

Translation from English into Chinese (15 marks)Directions: In this part there is a passage with 5 underlined parts, numbered 76~80. After reading the passage carefully, you should translate the underlined parts into Chinese.Science falls into two main categories: pure science and applied science. (96) Pure science considers how the universe works and how life has developed into the plants and animals we see on earth today. By means of pure science(such as chemistry, physics, geology, biology, or astronomy) we learn the laws of nature, the way the bodies of beasts and men are constructed, and how the minds of men function. (97) Applied science, often called engineering or technology (such as civil, mechanical, electrical, or chemical engineering), puts the laws of nature to practicaluse on building better structures and machines for the comfort and convenience of men. When a man learns some new fact by research in pure science, we say that he has made a scientific discovery. 98) When he puts an earlier discovery to some practical use, in a new and original way, we say that he has made an invention. In the two hundred years since the beginning of the great change that we call the Industrial Revolution, developments both in pure and in applied science speeded up in a way that the world had never before seen. All the sciences leaped forward, neck and neck like horses in a race. (99) At one time, one pulled ahead; then another caught up with and passed it. An invention in one field made possible some discovery in another; and that discovery, in turn, permitted another new application of science for the benefit of man. (100) For example: the invention of the microscope led to the discovery of germs; eventually, the germ theory of disease made possible the curing of many ills for which no effective treatment had ever before been know.答：96. 理论科学研究宇宙怎样运行，生命怎样发展成为我们今天在地球上所看到的植物和动物。

2013年11月河北省成人本科英语真题试卷(题后含答案及解析)题型有： 2. Reading Comprehension 3. V ocabulary and Structure 5. Cloze 6. Translation 7. WritingPart I Reading Comprehension (30%)Directions: There are three passages 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 and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Insurance is the sharing of risks. Nearly everyone is exposed to risk of some sort. The house -owner, for example, knows that his property can be damaged by fire; the ship -owner knows that his vessel may be lost at sea; the breadwinner knows that he may die at an early age and leave his family the poorer. On the other hand, not every house is damaged by fire nor every vessel lost at sea. If these persons each put a small sum into a pool, there will be enough to meet the needs of the few who do suffer loss. In other words, the losses of the few are met from the contributions of the many. This is the basis of insurance. Those who pay the contribution are known as “insured” and those who administer the pool of contributions as “insurers”. Not all risks lend themselves to being covered by insurance. Broadly speaking, the ordinary risks of business and speculation cannot be covered. The risk that buyers will not buy goods at the prices offered is not of a kind that can be statistically estimated - and risks can only be insured against if they can be so estimated. The legal basis of all insurance is the “policy”. This is the printed form of contract on paper of the best quality. It states that in return for the regular payment by the insured of a named sum of money, called the “premium”(保险费), which is usually paid every year, the insurer will pay a sum of money or compensation for loss, if the risk or event insured against actually happens. The workding of policies, particularly in marine insurance, often seems very old - fashioned, but there is a sound reason for this. Over a large number of years many law cases have been brought to clear up the meaning of doubtful phrases in policies. The law courts, in their judgments, have given these phrases a definite and indisputable meaning, and to avoid future disputes the phrases have continued to be used in policies even when they have passed out of normal use in speech.1．According to this passage, insurance is possible because______.A．everyone at some time suffers lossB．only a small proportion of the insured suffer lossC．nearly everyone suffers lossD．only insured people suffer loss正确答案：B解析：细节题，由第一段第五行If these persons……of the many可得出答案选B。

Each passage is followed by some questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. You should choose the ONE best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a pencil. Questions 61 ~ 65 are based on the following passage:There are three common calendar systems in use by the United States higher education institution. Semester Systems are one of them.The academic year is divided into two terms, each of which provides for about 15 weeks of instruction plus a week for final examinations. The fall semester, considered the first term of the academic year, usually begins in September or late August, and it is increasingly common for the term to start early enough to be completed before the two-week Christmas holiday. Colleges start later in September. The second or spring semester usually begins sometime in January and ends in late May or early June. Most schools schedule a one- or two-week vacation in March or April. A variation of the semester system being tried by some institutions is the “4—1—4” calendar, which has a four-month fall semester ending in December, a one-month short term in January for which students may enroll if they wish, and another four-month semester beginning early in February.61. In the United States, the students will stay in school for about _D___ a year.A. 15 weeksB. 16 weeksC. 30 weeksD. 32 weeks62.

In JanuaryD. In FebruaryQuestions 66~70 are based on the following passage:In sport the sexes are separate. Women and men do not run or swim in the same faces. Women are less strong than men. That at least is what people say. Women are call ed “the weaker sex”, or, if men want to please them, “the fair sex”. But boys and girls are taught together at schools and universities. There are women who are famous Prime Ministers, scientists and writers. Andwomen live longer than men. A European woman can expect to live until the age of 74, a man only until he is 68. Are women’s bodies really weaker?The fastest men can run a mile in under 4 minutes. The best women need 4.5 minutes. Women’s times are always slower than men’s, but some facts are a surp rise. Some of the fastest women swimmers today are teen-age girls. One of them swam 400 meters in 4 minutes 21.2 seconds when she was only 16. The first “Tarzan”(泰山) in films was an Olympic swimmer, Johnny Weiss Muller. His fastest 400 meters was 4 minutes 59.1 seconds, which is 37.9 seconds slower than a girl 50 years later! This does not mean that women are catching men up. Conditions are very different now, and sport is much more serious. It is so serious that some women athletes are given hormone injections. At the Olympics a doctor has to check whether the women athletes are really women or not. It seems sad that sport has such problems. Life can be very complicated when there are two separate sexes!66. Women are called “the weaker sex” because _B___.A. women do as much work as menB. people think women are weaker than menC. sport is easier for men than for womenD. in sport the two sexes are always together67.

What problems does sport have? BA. Some women athletes are actually men.B. Some women athletes are given hormone injections.C. Women and men do not run or swim in the same races.D. It is difficult to check whether women athletes are really women.70. In this passage the author implies that _C___.A. women are weaker than men, but fasterB. women are slower than men, but strongerC. men are not always stronger and faster than womenD. men are faster and stronger than womenQuestions 71~75 are base on the following passage:The stamp collector can learn a great deal from the colorful pieces of paper he put in his album. In addition to learning some basic things about organization and systematic arrangement, the stamp collector can receive a good course in history and geography from stamps. As a collector progresses and becomes more specialized, stamps teach him some basic facts about engraving, paper, and printing.Stamps are excellent sources of historical information. Almost every nation celebrates its military heroes and political leaders on its postage stamps. But scientists and artists, from Einstein to Beethoven, also grace the stamps of the world. Famous battles are frequently commemorated,as well as buildings an d scenes which have historical significance. Several of the world’s stamps are beautiful, full-color reproductions of the artistic masterpieces of different historical periods.Stamps also offer instruction in geography. It doesn’t take long before a begin ning collector checks the locations of the countries from which his stamps come. Nations like Liechtenstein, San Marino, Andorra, Gabon, Ghana, and Afghanistan, while unknown to many, are usually quite familiar to stamp collectors. Moreover, each country tends to use stamps to advertise its natural wonders. Such renowned attractions as Yosemite National Park, Victoria Falls, Mount Everest, and the Bay and Fundy appear on the stamps of the nation within whose borders they lie.If he wishes to become more of a specialist, the stamp collector can learn some basic things about engraving, paper, and printing. The more advanced collector learns to distinguish between offset and letterpress printing. He learns to identify the different impressions made by metal and wooden engraved plates. He finds out how to detect watermarks in the various papers used for stamps, and how to identify the characteristics of different papers and the coatings which are applied to them. To the layman, most stamps appear pretty much the same. But armed with a magnifying glass, the more specialized collector can tell the difference between a common issue and a rare variety.71. Which of the following statements do you think best describes the main idea of the essay? CA. A stamp collector must have a great deal of knowledge in history and geography.B. A stamp collector should be good at organization and systematic arrangement.C. A stamp collector can learn a lot from the stamps he collects.D.

Translation from English into Chinese (15 marks)Directions: In this part there is a passage with 5 underlined parts, numbered 76~80. After reading the passage carefully, you should translate the underlined parts into Chinese.Science falls into two main categories: pure science and applied science. (96) Pure science considers how the universe works and how life has developed into the plants and animals we see on earth today. By means of pure science(such as chemistry, physics, geology, biology, or astronomy) we learn the laws of nature, the way the bodies of beasts and men are constructed, and how the minds of men function. (97) Applied science, often called engineering or technology (such as civil, mechanical, electrical, or chemical engineering), puts the laws of nature to practicaluse on building better structures and machines for the comfort and convenience of men. When a man learns some new fact by research in pure science, we say that he has made a scientific discovery. 98) When he puts an earlier discovery to some practical use, in a new and original way, we say that he has made an invention. In the two hundred years since the beginning of the great change that we call the Industrial Revolution, developments both in pure and in applied science speeded up in a way that the world had never before seen. All the sciences leaped forward, neck and neck like horses in a race. (99) At one time, one pulled ahead; then another caught up with and passed it. An invention in one field made possible some discovery in another; and that discovery, in turn, permitted another new application of science for the benefit of man. (100) For example: the invention of the microscope led to the discovery of germs; eventually, the germ theory of disease made possible the curing of many ills for which no effective treatment had ever before been know.答：96. 理论科学研究宇宙怎样运行，生命怎样发展成为我们今天在地球上所看到的植物和动物。
