He liked to carry a small steel needle-like tool strapped to his leg and he used this in 40 of a key. Houdini once asked the Chicago police to lock him in prison. They 41 him in chains and locked him up， but he freed himself 42 aninstant. The police 43 him of having used a tool and locked him up again. This time he wore no clothes and there were chains round his neck， waist， wrists， and legs；but he again escaped in a few minutes.

Cutbacks in federal programs for Indians have made their problems 32 more severe in recent years. Josephy reports，“33 1981 it was estimated that cutbacks in federal programs for Indians totaled about $500 million” or more than ten times thecuts affecting their 34 fellow Americans.

If the Indians could 37their 38 problems， solutions to many of their other problems might not be far behind. In this paper the current status of Indian education will be described and 39and some ways of improving this education will be proposed. Whether to 40 with the dominant American culture orto 41 Indian culture has been a longstanding issuein Indian education. After the Civil War fullresponsibility for Indian education was turned over by the government to churches and missionary groups. The nextfifty years became a period of 42 assimilation in all areas of Indian culture， but especially in religion and education.John Collier， a reformer who agitated 43 Indians and their culture 44 the early 1920s until his death in 1968， had a different idea. He believed that instead of effacing native culture， Indian schools should encourage and 45 it.Pressure to assimilate remains a potent force today，46 . More and more Indians are graduating from high school and college and becoming 47 for jobs in the non-Indian society. “ When Indians obtain the requisite skills， many of them enter the broader American society and succeed. ”48 approximately 90 percent of all Indian children are educated in state public school systems.How well these children compete with the members of the dominant society，49 ， is another 50 .31.

Mark the best choice for each blank on your answer sheet.The “standard of living” of any country means the average person's share of the goods and services the country produces. A country's standard of living, ____31_______, depends first and 32 on its capacity to produce wealth. “Wealth” in this sense is not money, for we do not live on money 33 on things that money can buy: “goods” such as food and clothing, and “services” such as transport and “ __34 __ ” .A country's capacity to produce wealth depends upon many factors, most of 35 have an effect on one another. Wealth depends 36 a great extent upon a country's natural resources. Some regions of the world are well supplied with coal and minerals, and have a fertile soil and a 37 climate; other regions possess none of them.Next to natural resources 38 the ability to turn them to use. China is perhaps as well 39 as the USA in natural resources, but suffered for many years from civil and 40wars, and 41 this and other reasons was 42 to develop her resources. 43 and stable political conditions, and 44 _____ from foreign invasion, enable a country to develop its natural resources peacefully and steadily, and to produce more wealth than another country equally well 45 by nature but less well ordered.A country's standard of living does not only depend upon the wealth that is produced and consumed 46 it own borders, but also upon what is indirectly produced through international trade. 47 Britain's wealth in foodstuffs and other agricultural products would be much less if she had to depend only on 48 _ grown at home. Trade makes it possible for her surplus manufactured goods to be traded abroad for the agricultural products that would 49 be lacking. A country’s wealth is, therefore, much influenced by its manufacturing capacity, 50 that other countries can be found ready to accept its manufactures.31.

Not, he was quick to explain, over colorful love stories of the kind that made so much money for so many women writer, but novels set, and correctly set, in historical periods. Whatever difference he saw in his own books, his readers did not seem to notice it, and his readers were nearly all women. He had studied at university, but he had not been a particularly good student, and he had never afterwards let any academic knowledge he had gained interfere with his writing.Helen, his wife, who did not have a very high opinion of her husband's ability as a novelist, had been careful to say when she married him that she was not historically minded・Above all, Helen was doubtful whether her relationship with Steve would work at all in the village of Stretton, to which they had just moved・ It was Steve who had wanted to move to the country, and she had been glad of the change, in principle, whatever doubts she was now having about Stretton as a choice・ But she wondered whether Steve would not, before very long, want to live in London again, and what she would do if he did. The Stretton house was not a weekend cottage・ They had moved into it and given up the London flat altogether, partly at least, she suspected, because that she Sieve's idea of what a successful author ought to do. However, she thought he was not going to feel like a successful author half as much in Stretton as he had in London. On the other had, she supposed he might just start dashing up to London for the day to see his agent or have lunch with his publisher, leaving her behind in Stretton, and she thought on the whole she would like that.66.Which of the following is true about Steve's attitude towards women who wrote love stories?A.He had a low opinion of the kind of books they wrote.B・ He was afraid of being compared unfavorably with them.C・ He would have liked to earn as much money as they did.D・ He did not think he could write about the same subjects.67.Helen thought Steve might not be content in Stretton because ___ .A・ his relationship with Helen was changingB.he would not feel so important in StrettonC・ he would not be able to write so well thereD. he would not be lonely without all his friends6&We learn from the passage that Steve's novels were ____ .A. popular but unimportantB・ serious works of literatureC.admired for their historical truthD.written with women readers in mindTEXTBWhen Franklin D・ Roosevelt was elected Preside nt of the United States in 1932, not only the United States but also the rest of the world was in the throes of an economic depression. Following the termination of World War I,Britain and the United States at first experienced a boom in industry. Called the Roaring Twenties, the 1920s ushered in a number of things 一prosperity, greater equality for women in the work world, rising consumption, and easy credit. The outlook for American business was rosy.October 1929 was a month that had catastrophic economic reverberations worldwide. The American stock market witnessed the ''Great Crash/1 as it is called, and the temporary boom in the American economy came to a standstill. Stock prices sank, and panic spread・ The ensuing unemployment figure soared to 12 million by 1932. Germany in the postwar years suffered from burdensome compensation it was obliged to pay to the Allies. The country's industrial capacity had been greatly diminished by the war. Inflation, political instability, and high unemployment were factors helpful to the growth of the initial Nazi party. Germans had lost confidence in their old leaders and heralded the arrival of a messiah-like figure who would lead them out of their economic wilderness. Hitler promised jobs and, once elected, kept his promise by providing employment in the party, in the newly expanded army, and in munitions factories.Roosevelt was elected because he promised a "New Deal” to lift the United States out of the doldrums of the depression. Following the principles advocated by Keynes, a British economist, Roosevelt collected the spending capacities of the federal government to provide welfare, work, and agricultural aid to the millions of down-and-out Americans. Elected President for four terms because of his innovative policies, Roosevelt succeeded in dragging the nation out of the depression before the outbreak of World War II.69.Which of the following was NOT true at the time Roosevelt was elected?A・ Stock prices were recovering slowly・B.The nation was in a deep depression.C.There were 12 million unemployed workers.D・ The nation needed help from the federal government.70.The "'Great Crash n in the passage refers to ____ .A.the end of World War IB.the Great DepressionC・ high unemployment figuresD.a slump in the stock market71.We can infer that the author of this passage ____ ・A. disapproves of Roosevelt's "New Deal HB・ thinks the Depression could have been avoidedC・ blames the Depression on the "Great Crash0D. feels there was some similarity between Roosevelt and Hitler72.The best title for the passage is ___ ・A.The TwentiesB.The Great CrashC・ The DepressionD. The End of World War ITPYT rThe thr ee biggest lies in America are: (1) "The check is in the mail.” (2) "Of course Fll respect you in the morning.11 (3) H It was a computer error/1Of these three little white lies, the worst of the lot by far is the third・ It's the only one that can never be true. Today, if a bank statement cheats you out of '900 that way, you know what the clerk is sure to say: H It was a computer error.n Nonsense・ The computer is reporting nothing more than what the clerk typed into it. The most irritatingcase of all is when the computerized cash register in the grocery store shows that an item costs more than it actually does. If the innocent buyer points out the mistake, the checker, bagger, and manager all come together and offer the familiar explanation: n It was a computer eiror「It wasnt of course・ That high-tech cash register is really nothing more than an electric eye. The eye reads the Universal Product Code — that ribbon of black and white lines in a comer of the package 一and then checks the code against a price list stored in memory. If the price list is right, youll be charged accuratel y.Grocery stores update the price list each day — that is, somebody sits at a keyboard and types in the prices. If the price they type in is too high, there are only two explanations: carelessness or dishonesty. But somehow n a computer error11 is supposed to excuse everything.One reason we let people hide behind a computer is the common misperception that huge, modern computers are "electric brains1' with H artificial intelligence/1 At some point there might be a machine with intelligence, but none exists today. The smartest computer on earth right now is no more "intelligent than your average screwdriver. At this point in the development of computers, the only thing any machine can do is what a human has instructed it to do.73.We are told that a high-tech cash register is really just ___ ・A. an electric instrument of sightB・ a simple adding machineC・ a way to keep employees honestD・ an expensive piece of window dressing74.Grocery store price lists are updated by ____ .A.a seannerB.a telephone hookupC・ an adding machineD. an employee75.Which of the following describes the main idea of the passage?A. Computers are stupid and inefficient.B・ Computer errors are basically human errors・puters can help department stores update the price list.D.Supermarket price errors are often made through dishonesty.TEXTDAll R&D executives have two major responsibilities: (1) they must ensure that the company is supplied with technically successful projects, and (2) they must select the most promising schemes and ideas for the expenditure of R&D resources. This work is complicated by numerous uncertainties, inasmuch as commercial research and development must be based on market forecasts.If R&D management can provide a regular flow of new and updated products, the company will benefit in a number of ways・ First of all, it will be able to make full use of expensive departmental resources, development engineering and available marketing capacity・ In addition to that, a flow of new market winners will provide the business with steady growth income and profits. This can also be important psychologically, for it is often on this basis that those outside the company assess the quality of its management.The R&D departments job is made more difficult because of the length of time required to complete its research・In the chemical and pharmaceutical industries, for example, it may take five to ten years before a product is a technical success and a further six to eight years before it reaches full commercial potential.To achieve results, R&D must define both the areas that should be investigated and the objectives that should be achieved in each area. For this reason, the R&D department must take an interest in all aspects of design,application, efficiency, and use of appropriate materials.

Mark the best choice for each blank on your answer sheet.The “standard of living” of any country means the average pe rson's share of the goods and services the country produces. A country's standard of living, ____31_______, depends first and 32 on its capacity to produce wealth. “Wealth” in this sense is not money, for we do not live on money 33 on things that money can buy: “goods” such as food and clothing, and “services” such as transport and “__34 __ ” .A country's capacity to produce wealth depends upon many factors, most of 35 have an effect on one another. Wealthdepends 36 a great extent upon a country's natural resources. Some regions of the world are well supplied with coal and minerals, and have a fertile soil and a 37 climate; other regions possess none of them.Next to natural resources 38 the ability to turn them to use. China is perhaps as well 39 as the USA in natural resources, but suffered for many years from civiland 40 wars, and 41 this and other reasons was 42 to develop herresources. 43 and stable political conditions,and 44 _____ from foreign invasion, enable a country to develop its natural resources peacefully and steadily, and to produce more wealth than another country equallywell 45 by nature but less well ordered.A country's standard of living does not only depend upon the wealth that is produced and consumed 46 it own borders, but also upon what is indirectly produced through internationaltrade. 47 Britain's wealth in foodstuffs and other agricultural products would be much less if she had to depend onlyon 48 _ grown at home. Trade makes it possible for her surplus manufactured goods to be traded abroad for the agricultural products that would 49 be lacking.

Choose the one that you think is the best answer.Mark your answers on your answer sheet.TEXT AAll Sir William Jones wanted to do was to learn Sanskrit. While he was studying, however, he made a surprising discovery. This ancient language of India was amazingly similar to Latin and Greek. The Sanskrit word for "mother"—matar—was almost identical to the Latin word, mater. “Father” was pitar in Sanskrit, pater in Latin and Greek. The more he studied, the more similarities he found.How could this be? Thousands of miles and many natural barriers separated India and Europe. Still, Jones concluded, the similarities were too strong to be accidental. In 1786, he announced “No one could examine them all three, without believing them to have sprung from some common source.”Since then, scholars have traced many languages to this “common source.” Today, these languages are called the Indo-European family. But where did this source originate? Language and geography provide the clues. European languages have similar words for the animals and trees of northern Europe, such as oak, willow, bear, and wolf. There are no common words for the animals and trees of southern Europe.To scholars, this suggests that the Indo-European languages began in north central Europe. In time, some northern Europeans set out toward the east, settling in Iran, India, and Pakistan. Others migrated westward toward southern and western Europe. The root language developed into dozens of different languages, but the family resemblances remain. The word for “three” is drei in German, tres in Spanish, tre in Albanian, and tri in Russian.Almost every language in Europe is part of the Indo-European family, but there are exceptions. Hungarian and Finnish cling to other language families. High in the Pyrenees, the Basque people speak a language that has no known relatives. Perhaps the Basques were the original inhabitants of the region. Isolated by mountains, they may have been bypassed by the spread of Indo-European culture.81. What did Sir William Jones discover when he was learning Sanskrit?A. Sanskrit was very similar to some European languages.B. Sanskrit was an ancient language.C. The Sanskrit word for mother is the same as that in Latin.D. Latin and Greek were very similar.82. Which of the following statements is true about "the common source"?A. Jones found out the common source.B. All languages sprang from the common source.C. Only three languages sprang from the common source.D. Since 1786, scholars have traced many languages to the common source.83. Where did the common source originate?A. In southernEurope.B. In north-central Europe.C. InIndia.D. in Pakistan.84. What can be concluded from the passage?A. Jones first discovered the root language.B. The languages with the common source are called the Indo-European family.C. The root language developed into different languages as people migrated.D. Every language in Europe is part of the Indo-European family. TEXT BYour first culture shock came after you left your home country and you needed to adjust to the United States, It is now important to learn cultural information about your company, so that you will fit in and perform successfully. The people who make up this environment have their own customs, habits and expectations of each new employee. Gathering information that is formal (policy) and informal (traditions) will help you learn the professional norms and become fully accepted.Policies are corporate documents describing procedures, rules, and standards that guide decision making and conduct. They are similar to official laws that govern a country. Some sources of such written company information include the annual report, product or service brochures, technical and procedural manual, employee directory and the company newsletter. Organizational traditions are usually unwritten hut common practices that have evolved over time. They set the tone and philosophy of the particular corporation, just as the customs of a country do. The best way to learn such information is to observe and talk with others such as your supervisor and co-workers.You can supplement ideas from formal introductory materials given you earlier. Explore with fellow employees those behaviors that may be tolerated but frowned upon. Ask your supervisor for feedback to avoidtypical traps that could cause your co-workers to reject you as a professional. Keep this guide nearby, and refer to it often in private. Reviewing formal company procedures, handouts, written notes, ideas, comments from bosses and colleagues, together with materials in this handbook, will help you make a more healthy cultural adjustment.85. What is the purpose to learn cultural information?A. To know the U. S. A. better.B. To work better in the new environment.C. To make more money.D. To improve one's English.86. According to the passage, ___________ is not the policy's function.A. describing procedures, rules and standardsB. governing a countryC. helping to guide decision making and conductD. writing down the company's information87. ____________ is the best way to learn the organizational traditions.A. To read the policiesB. To study the philosophyC. To study a country's customsD. To observe and communicate with the colleagues and boss.88. How to make a more healthy cultural adjustment?A. Read this passage often.B. Discuss the organizational culture with your colleagues.C. Gather and review the formal and informal information in the corporation.D. Ask your boss for help.89. The passage is written to ___________.A. help readers to understand the organization's cultureB. explain the culture shockC. analyze the policies and traditionsD. help readers to work better with their supervisor and co-workersTEXT C“White hostility toward African Americans, and the resulting discrimination, have been fueled by a sense of threat. During slavery, many working-class whites, encouraged by slaveholders, feared the release of large numbers of blacks into the labor market and society in general. When northern industries used African Americans as strikebreakers in the first decades of this century, white workers feared the loss of their jobs. Today, many white Americans fear “black violence”. Moreover, specific fears about the “costs” of welfare as well as the "taking" of jobs through affirmative action have added to the fear of black violence.These fears have translated into negative stereotypes of African Americans as a people who are prone to crime and violence, unwilling to work, and a drain on the white taxpayer through their welfare dependency. In turn, these stereotypes have been used to justify informal discrimination, to prevent the help to the urban poor, to be negligent in enforcing laws or policies prohibiting discriminatory practices against black workers, and most important, to hesitate in making a serious effort at job creation for African Americans. The result is that African Americans’ share of valued resources has not increased much over the last two decades, even as formal discrimination has been greatly lessened. This fact is used to further the negative belief that African Americans have "not taken advantage of their equal opportunities."90. According to the passage, how did the northern industries make use of African Americans in 1900s?A. Sent them to ask the strikers to go back to work.B. Made them work very hard.C. Employed them to threaten the white strikers.D. Released them into the labor market.91. What is the ill influence of these negative stereotypes?A. Giving help to the poor black.B. Justifying informal discrimination.C. Enforcing laws prohibiting discriminatory practices against black workers.D. Creating opportunities of employment for the black.92. What can be inferred from "a drain on the white taxpayer" about the African Americans?A. They are unwilling to work.B. They never pay tax.C. They lack security.D. Their welfare depends on the white's tax.93. The author wrote the passage to tell us__________.A. African Americans pose a threat to the whites in employmentB. African Americans are dependent on the tax paid by the whitesC. African Americans are discriminated against because they are often on strikeD. the sense of threat intensifies the white's hospitality and discrimination against the African AmericansTEXT D“People thought of themselves as having rights from companies,” said Hoshua Freeman, a labor historian at Columbia University. That sense of entitlement grew even stronger in the early decades after World War II and collective bargaining became the arena for arguing out wages, pensions, health insurance, vacations, hours and job security.That system is disappearing today. Career-long attachments to one employer, a notion born in the 1920's, are no longer the .norm. The newclass-consciousness makes less distinction between workers and managers. Rights are relative, at best. An increasingly conservative electorate has reduced government's role in regulating the economy. Unions have lost influence and membership.What people do is try to cope, by themselves, said Ms. Skelly, of DYG. Self-employment is one solution, DYG's polls show, and that is a rising trend. "They try, on the job, to hide any weakness in their performance," she said. “They work longer hours and take work home, without letting the boss know, to give the impression that they can do difficult tasks quickly. There is nothing like, ‘we are all in this together.’ There is too much competition. People talk of their weakness to friends and spouses, but not to coworkers.”And many Americans feel in their hearts that the unemployment might be justified. “There is a sense among people that we are inefficient and bloated,” Ms. Skelly said. “And until they feel that is no longer true, they are reluctant to criticize the forces that are cutting out the fat and the inefficiencies.”94. It can be inferred from the second paragraph that ___________.A. people do not enjoy their rights nowadaysB. people are more likely to change their jobs than they were in the 1920'sC. workers and managers share the same rights todayD. nowadays, people refuse to take part in the Union95. According to Ms Skelly, which of the following is true?A. People like to work overtime.B. People want to work at home.C. People want to impress the boss with their capability and efficiency.D. People need help from their families, for they cannot cope with difficult problems themselves.96. People hide their weakness from___________.A. their parentsB. their wives or husbandsC. their friendsD. their colleagues97. The main idea of the passage is___________.A. people thought of themselves as having rights from companiesB. people's sense of entitlement is not as strong as it used to beC. people work at homeD. people regard unemployment as usualTEXT EYou may not have thought of it just this way, but the letter you write is part of you, and expression of your personality. Therefore to write letters that are mere patterns of form is to present a colorless personality.Letters, by their very nature, are too individual to be standardized. A letter may be absolutely perfect according to the standards of good taste and good form; but unless it also expresses something of the writer's personality, it is not a good letter.In other words, don't be satisfied to write letters that are just correct and nothing more. Try to write letters that are correct for you... letters that are warm and alive with reflections of your own personality.And if this sounds like a platitude (陈词滥调), stop for a moment and think back over your recent correspondence. What was the most interesting letter you received? Was it a letter anyone could have written? Or was it a letter that instantly “came alive” as you read it—that brought the personality of the sender right into the room with you. as though you were face to face, listening instead of reading?The fault with too many letters, today as in the past—the reason so many letters are dull and lifeless, and often fail to accomplish the purpose for which they are written is simply this: They sound exactly like the letters everyone else writes. They are neither exciting to receive nor stimulating to read.98. What does the author mean by saying “the letter you write is part of you”?A. Writing letters plays an important part in your life.B. When you write letters, you should be careful about what to write.C. People can see your personality from the letters you write.D. You should write good letters.99. What does the author want to explain in the fourth paragraph?A. A good letter presents one's personality.B. His opinion is a platitude.C. Letter-writing is interesting.D. Talking face to face is a better way to communicate than writing letters.100. The best title for the passage is___________.A. Letter WritingB. Personality in Letter WritingC. To Write Interesting LettersD. To Write Correct Letters PARTVI WRITING[45 MIN]SECTIONA COMPOSITION[35 MIN]We all know that men and women play different roles in modern society, and that they differ in many ways, such as how to perceive the world, how to tackle problems and how to approach people.

专四模拟题参考答案

专四模拟题参考答案Dictation：American SportsAmericans are active people, enjoying a variety of games played in the world. For a long period of time, Americans have topped in most of international competitions. Whenever one opens newspapers or turns on television in the United States, one is likely to see extensive coverage of sports events held either in the United States or overseas. This is particularly true on weekends when professional and intercollegiate games are held nation-wide. A great number of people, male and female, old and young, throng into the stadium to watch these games, oftentimes in a group of family member or friends. Many more people stay at home, watching the game live broadcast on television. Indeed, to many an American, sports have already become part of their leisure life. And any weekend without some measure of participation, be it actual or emotional, would be hard to imagine.听力原文：Conversation 1.M: Hi, Sally, I was wondering if you‟re free tomorrow night.W: Well, I guess I am. Why do you ask?M: I have just gotton a pair of pre-sale “Star Wars” movie tickets from a friend and was thinking of inviting you along for the opening premiere. Are you interested?W: Yeah, definitely! Thanks for inviting me!M: No problem.W: The pre-sale tickets were sold out. How did you manage to get hold of …em?M: A friend of mine works at the corporate headquarters of Pepsi, which is a major sponsor of the movie. He was able to get the tickets for free, and then he sold 2 to me for $50 apiece.W: You paid $50 for each ticket? That‟s a lot of money!M: Not really, considering the fact that pther people are paying as high as $200 each on the “black market”. Besides, I knew you were really looking forward to watching it.W: Wow, I‟m really honored you went through all this trouble just for my sake. So, what time are we going?M: Well, let‟s see. The movie starts at 10 pm. We should get there at least 1 hour earlier because there‟ll be a big line. I could pick you up at your house at 8, if that‟s OK with you.W: 8 o‟clock? That‟s fine with me.M: Okay good. I‟ll see you tomorrow night, Sally.Conversation 2.M: Can I help you in any way?W: Well, I‟m trying to find two books for Chritmas presents; one for an elderly aunt and one for my nephew.M: Could you give me any idea of their tastes in books?W: One of the books could be a crime story, possibly something abpout … by Craig Bronx. Thereis a collection of short stories by Bronx that has just come out.M: We have not got that in stock at the moment, but we could order it for you. Do you know the name of the publisher?W: It‟s a thriller society special, a paperback. How long is it likely to take to come in?M: About a week.W: All right, now the other, crime wouldn‟t be approved of. Perhaps something on wildlife or antique furniture. A collection of 18th century essays or, let me see, have you got a copy of “Gold Bowl”? But that‟s probably been read before. “Memoirs of an Ambassador” Oh, no, I‟m sure this new edition of the Climber‟s manual will be most warmly welcome.M: But surely your aunt doesn‟t go climbing, Madam.W: No, of course not. The crime book is for her.Conversation 3.M: I know that you have already received our outline program, but I would just like to check the meal times to begin with?W: Well, breakfast will be served in the main dining room from 7 till 10 as usual. Do you have any special requirements there?M: We do have rather a lot of Americans and Englishmen attending the seminar, so I think it would be a good idea to lay on some bacon and eggs, in addition to the normal fare.W: Very good, sir. Lunch is at 12:30. do you want to have the buffet lunch on Monday and Tuesday?M: No, I don‟t think so. That would be boring. Can we have the normal waiter service on Tuesday?Something fairly light, fish or an omelet.W: And how about the afternoon coffee? Would you like that served in the lecture room?M: No, I feel we could have a change of scene for that. Is the Marine Suite free? It has that wonderful balcony and the view down to the lake.W: Yes, I‟m sure we can arrange that. By the way, do you have any special wishes as regards the food?M: Well, we do have four vegetarians, that I do know and there are two participants from the Middle East so of course pork and shrimps will be out for them.W: I‟ll make a note of that.Passage 1.A lack of knowledge on breast cancer is causing too much fear and worry among British women. Nearly half of women, who took part in a survey made by the Imperial Cancer Research Fund (ICRF), could not name any of the risk factors for the disease. According to the survey, one in 20 did not know which age group was most weak. Over half of all women in the UK have a poor knowledge on breast cancer. Knowing more about the disease may also reduce anxiety about breast cancer. More than 65 per cent of the 977 women questioned for the survey said they were worried about breast cancer, but 5 per cent of women knew that from 60 to 80 is the age when women are most likely to develop the disease. Women under 24 and those aged from 65 to 74 were the most poorly informed. Breast cancer is the most common form of cancer in women in developed countries. There are nearly 34,500 new cases in Britain every year and about 14,000 deaths. About one in 12 British women will get the disease sometime during their lifetime. Age, family history, late change of life, late childbearing, very fat and alcohol drinking have all beenlinked to breast cancer. Early diagnose before the cancer has spread beyond the breast improves the probability of continuing to live.Passage 2.In the traditional marriage, the man worked at a job to earn money for the family. Therefore the man made most of the decisions. He was the boss. In the traditional marriage, the woman seldom worked away from the house. She stayed at home to care for the children and her husband. Her job at home was very important. In recent years, many couples continue to have a traditional relationship of this kind. Many Americans are happy with this kind of marriage. But some other Americans have a different impression of marriage and family responsibilities. There are two important differences in male and female roles now. one is that both men and women have many more choices. They may choose to marry or to stay single. They may choose to work or stay at home. Both men and women may choose roles that are comfortable for them. A second difference in male and female roles is that within marriage many decisions and responsibilities are shared. The husband and wife may choose to have children, or they may not. If they have children, the man may take care of them some of the time, all of the time, or not at all. The woman may want to stay at home and take care of the children. Or she want to go to work. Men and women now decide these things together in a marriage.Passage 3.People can be addicted to different things-e.g.,alcohol, drugs, certain foods, or even television. People who have such an addiction are compulsive; i.e., they have a very powerful psychological need that they feel that they must spend money. This compulsive spenders who buy on credit, charge accounts are even more exciting than money. Their pleasure in spending a lot is actually greater than the pleasure that they get from the things they buy. To save money, of course, most people look for sales, low prices, and discounts. Compulsive bargain hunters, however, often buy things they don‟t need just because they are cheap. They want to believe that they are helping their bugets, but they are really playing an exciting game: when they can buy something for less than other people, they feel that they are winning. Psychologists often use a method called”behavior therapy”to help individuals solve their personality problems. In the same way, they can help people who feel that they have problems with money.News Item 1South African Trades Union‟s officials say that 800,000 civil servants joined a strike for higher wages in what they described as the largest industrial action in the country‟s history. The workers, including teachers, nurses, police officers and prison staff, took part in marches across the country to press their demands.News Item 2Floods and landslides triggered by torrential rain in China have left at least 140 dead and more than 50 others missing in the southwest of the country. Chinese officials say thousands of military personnel, police and other rescue workers are helping to distribute emergency said aid with more than 3,000 people left homeless. The authorities have put the massive Three Gorges hydroelectric dam system on alert as torrents of water from the Yangtze River pour through the dam‟s sluice gates. Serious flooding in China is an annual occurrence.News Item 3The United States military in Iraq says 3 marines have been killed in separate incidents in thewestern Al-Anbar province. The military said one marine was killed in action and 2 others died of wounds sustained while conducting security operations. More than 1,000 members of the US military have died in Iraq since they invaded the country in March last year.News Item 4Election officials in Florida have denied allegations by the formal American President Jimmy Carter that November‟s US presidential election may not be free and fair in the state. A spokeswoman for Florida‟s election commission accused Mr. Carter of spreading misinformation and added that she was extremely confident about the election procedures now in place. The former President, a Democrat, accused Florida‟s top election officials of bias towards Republicans.News Item 5The presidents of Brazil and France, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva and Jacques Chirac, have called on world leaders to make new efforts to fight poverty in the developing world. Addressing a meeting on New York, ahead of the United Nations General Assembly, they suggested setting up a 50-billion-dollars fund to fight world poverty. Money could come from new charges or taxes on greenhouse gas emissions, arms sales, ships passing through key routes and on airline tickets and credit card purchases. More than one billion people around the world live in absolute poverty defined as less than a dollar a day.答案：1. C2. B3. A4. D5. C6. D7. B8. A9. B 10. A11. B 12. B 13. D 14. C 15. D 16. B 17. D 18.

Choose the one that you think is the best answer.Mark your answers on your answer sheet.Text AA twenty-year-old immigrant， Levi Strauss， came to the United States in 1850 to seek his fortune in the gold fields. But strangely enough， this man made his fortune on heavy canvas that he found suitable for working clothes. Strauss's jeans were particularly good for prospectors and cowboys. In the early days of jeans， this man couldn't have guessed that his pants， made only for rough work，would become so popular at all levels of society. Yes，this is a fact： jeans have become fashionable in our society. Furthermore， these pants have come to symbolizechanges in social attitude.In the last decade or two we have seen movements toward equality as well as defiance of authority. Jeans， now worn by everybody， can be said to symbolize these changes for the better. In the past， only men wore jeans， and these men were at the bottom—socially and economically. Jeans were worn by truck drivers， farm and factory workers. Today， jeans no longer are looked down upon. They are worn by both men and women， by both skilled and unskilled workers， by both employees and employers. This common way of dressing symbolizes respect for individuality， no matter what your occupation or sex. In the fight against authority， young people have been the leaders. So it is natural that teenagers would defy parents and school administrators over the right to wear jeans to class and win. Jeans are the typical dress of civil rights marchers，fans at rock concerts，“hippies” returning to nature，and serious college students.Because everyone can be comfortable in them， the blue jeans invented for the use of workers are now accepted almost anywhere， anytime. This is true not only in the United States， but in many other countries in the world. Istrongly agree with the following statement：“Old or new， glorified or plain， jeans are likely to be aroundfor a long time to come. Already they have succeeded where statesmanship has failed. Although unable to speak the same language， the inhabitants of this embattled planet have at least agreed to wear the same pants.”81. Jeans， originally designed by Levi Strauss，.A. have become a symbol of the fashionable classB. have come to symbolize changes in social attitudeC. are suitable wear for rough work onlyD. are no longer so popular as they used to be82. What is implied but not directly stated in the passage is that .A. young people have been the leaders in the fight against authorityB. today， jeans are no longer looked down uponC. jeans are the typical dress of civil rights marchersD. formerly students were not allowed to wear jeans to class83. The author is of the opinion that .A. jeans are likely to be a short-lived fashionB. jeans are popular only in the United StatesC. jeans are likely to be popular for a long time to comeD. jeans are no longer fashionable84. The last two sentences imply that .A. statesmen in the world are less competent than jeansB. the inhabitants of the world should speak the same languageC. statesmen have failed to reach agreement on many major issues of the worldD. jeans will help statesmen to reach agreement on some world issuesText BStudies of children’s acquisition of language suggest that the faculty of language includes an inborn knowledge of the formal principles of language structure， a knowledge that depends on generically determined portions of (usually)that left cerebral (大脑的) hemisphere.Although it is wellestablished that the left hemisphere is specialized for language， one cannot say that language is “located” in this or that part of the hemisphere. What is known is that language discorders are the results of lesions (损伤) in the left hemisphere. Disorders of language resulting from damage to the brain are called aphasias (失语症).The anterior(前面的)portion of the “language area” is termed Broca’s area. Lesions in this area interfere with the motor(运动原)and articulatory aspects oflanguage.Speech is slow，labored，grammatically incorrect，and telegraphic；in extreme cases，it may be impossible to carry out.Writing is likewise severelyprehension of the spoken or written word，however，may be unimpaired or nearly so.(It is interesting to note that under emotional stress，a patient with Broca’s aphasia may be temporarily fluent.)Because Broca’s area is close to the motor cortex(脑皮层)，if the former is damaged，the latter is often damaged simultaneously.Hence，such patients often suffer form weakness or paralysis of the right side of the body.Similar lesions in the right hemisphere will cause a left－sided weakness of paralysisbut will have no effect on language.Damage to the posterior (后面的) portion of the “language area，” especially to Wernick’s area， results in a loss of comprehension of the spoken word and often of thewritten word. The patient’s native language is now like a foreign language. In addition， the patient’s speech is rapid and well－articulated， but without meaning. Writing is defective， and words that are heard cannot be repeated， although hearing itself is completely normal. Similar lesions in the right hemisphere usually have no effect on language.Injuries to the “language area” in children result in severe aphasias， but the development of language mechanism in the right hemisphere can often compensate for them to an extraordinary degree. This potential function of the right hemisphere is probably normally suppressed by the left hemisphere. In adults， aphasias from similar lesions are often permanent.85.The author is primarily concerned with .A. describing the process of language acquisitionB. explaining potential treatment of language defectsC. showing the importance of the left hemisphere of the brain to language mechanismsD. depicting various means of diagnosing language defects86.Unlike a patient with Wernicke’s aphasia， a patient with Broca’s aphasia can .A. comprehend written but not spoken languageB. hear and read with comprehensionC. speak articulately and also comprehend spoken languageD. write and speak readily and coherently87.According to the passage，which of the following statements about the right hemisphere of the brain is accurate？A. It has the potential to serve as a “language area”.B. It controls the ability to comprehend but not theability to speak a languageC. If it is damaged， gross motor control of the right side of the body may be affected.D. It is the right where Wernick’s area is located.88.It can be inferred that aphasias in adults often result in permanent damage because .A. much memory is lostB. adults have more trouble learning a foreign languageC. the right hemisphere is no longer as adaptable as it once was.D. brain cells in adults are especially vulnerable to infection89.It can be inferred that the author bases his description on .A. clinical studies of instances of damage to the brainB. studies of language development in children without brain damageC. microscopic examination of the brain structureD. examples of the integration of the left and right hemispheres专四模拟试题附参考答案（2）3PART V READING COMPREHENSION [25 MIN]In this section there are four passages followed by questions or unfinished statements, each with four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D.

She had been the director of a school and a camp before she retired， but she needed to keep busy. She was even willing to work without pay. That was the reason she found a volunteer job with an agency. The agency that she chose to work for was a business that helped other businesses find jobs for old people. Every day she talked with other retired people like herself. By talking， she recognized two things. Old people had abilities that were not being used. Old people also had problems—mostly problems with communication.Mrs. Douglas found a new purpose for herself. Through theyears， from time to time she had written stories about people for national magazines. Now there was a new subject： old people like herself. She began to write a newspaper column called “Sixty Plus，” which focused on getting old. She writes about the problems of old people，especially their problems with being misunderstood.Anna Douglas uses her thinking ability to see the truth behind a problem. She understands the reasons why problems begin. She understands old people and young people， too. For example， one of her readers said that his grandchildren left the house as soon as he came to visit. Mrs. Douglas suggested some ways for him to increase understanding with his grandchildren. She told him to listen to young people's music and to watch the most popular television shows.“It's important to know something about your grandchildren's world，” says Mrs. Douglas. “That means questioning and listening—and listening is not what oldsters do best，” she continues，“Say good things to them and about them. Never criticize your grandchildren or any other youngsters， teenagers， or young adults. Never tell them that they are wrong. Don't give them youropinion. They have been taught that they should have respect for old people. The old should have respect for the young as well.”81. Anna Douglas understands the problems of oldpeople .A. because she likes their musicB. because she has grandchildrenC. because she watches their television programsD. because she is old herself82. Anna Douglas' newspaper column .A. is about how to find jobs for old peopleB. spreads ideas for youngstersC. discusses the problems of old peopleD. contains mostly funny stories83. What advice did Mrs. Douglas NOT give to the reader whose grandchildren didn't want to see him？A. Listen to popular music.B. Tell more interesting stories.C. Try to understand the grandchildren.D. Watch morepopular TV shows.84. The main point of Mrs. Douglas' advice is .A. old people should understand and respect the youngB. old people have a lot to learn from the youngC. poor hearing often causes old people to misunderstand the youngD. old people should show respect for the young even when they criticize themBChemistry did not emerge as a science until after the scientific revolution in the seventeenth century and then only rather slowly and laboriously. But chemical knowledge is as old as history， being almost entirely concerned with the practical arts of living. Cooking is essentially a chemical process； so is the melting of metals and the administration of drugs and potions. This basic chemical knowledge， which was applied in most cases as a rule of thumb， was nevertheless dependent on previous experiment. It also served to stimulate a fundamental curiosity aboutthe processes themselves. New information was always being gained as artisans improved techniques to gain better results.The development of a scientific approach to chemistry was，however， hampered by several factors. The most serious problem was the vast range of material available and the consequent difficulty of organizing it into some system. In addition， there were social and intellectualdifficulties， chemistry is nothing if not practical；those who practice it must use their hands， they must have a certain practical flair. Yet in many ancient civilizations， practical tasks were primarily the province of a slave population. The thinker or philosopher stood apart from this mundane world， where the practical arts appeared to lack any intellectual content or interest. The final problem for early chemical science was the element of secrecy. Experts in specific trades had developed their own techniques and guarded their knowledge to prevent others from stealing their livelihood. Another factor that contributed to secrecy was the esoteric nature of the knowledge of alchemists， who were trying to transform base metals into gold or were concerned with thehunt for the elixir that would bestow the blessing ofeternal life. In one sense， the second of these was the more serious impediment because the records of the chemical processes that early alchemists had discovered were often written down in symbolic language intelligible to very few or in symbols that were purposely obscure.85. What is the passage mainly about？A. The scientific revolution in the seventeenth century.B. Reasons that chemistry developed slowly as a science.C. The practical aspects of chemistry.D. Difficulties of organizing knowledge systematically.86. According to the passage， how did knowledge about chemical processes increase before the seventeenthcentury？A. Philosophers devised theories about chemical properties.B. A special symbolic language was developed.C. Experience led workers to revise their techniques.D. Experts shared their discoveries with the public.87. The bold word “hampered” in Line 1 Para 2 is closestin meaning to .A. recognizedB. determinedC. solvedD. hindered88. The bold word “it” refers to which of the following？A. Problem.B. Material.C. Difficulty.D. System.89. Which of the following statements best explains why “the second of these was the more serious impediment”(Underlined)？A. Chemical knowledge was limited to a small number of people.B. The symbolic language used was very imprecise.C. Very few new discoveries were made by alchemists.D. The records of the chemical processes were not based on experiments.专四模拟试题附参考答案（1）3PART V READING COMPREHENSION [25 MIN]In this section there are four passages followed by questions or unfinished statements, each with foursuggested answers marked A, B, C and D.

While he was studying, however, he made a surprising discovery. This ancient language of India was amazingly similar to Latin and Greek. The Sanskrit word for "mother"—matar—was almost identical to the Latin word, mater. “Father” was pitar in Sanskrit, pater in Latin and Greek. The more he studied, the more similarities he found.How could this be? Thousands of miles and many natural barriers separated India and Europe. Still, Jones concluded, the similarities were too strong to be accidental. In 1786, he announced “No one could examine them all three, without believing them to have sprung from some common source.”Since then, scholars have traced many languages to this “common source.” Today, these languages are called the Indo-European family. But where did this source originate? Language and geography provide the clues. European languages have similar words for the animals and trees of northern Europe, such as oak, willow, bear, and wolf. There are no common words for the animals and trees of southern Europe.To scholars, this suggests that the Indo-European languages began in north central Europe. In time, some northern Europeans set out toward the east, settling in Iran, India, and Pakistan. Others migrated westward toward southern and western Europe. The root language developed into dozens of different languages, but the family resemblances remain. The word for “three” is drei in German, tres in Spanish, tre in Albanian, and tri in Russian.Almost every language in Europe is part of the Indo-European family, but there are exceptions. Hungarian and Finnish cling to other language families. High in the Pyrenees, the Basque people speak a language that has noknown relatives. Perhaps the Basques were the original inhabitants of the region. Isolated by mountains, they may have been bypassed by the spread of Indo-European culture.81. What did Sir William Jones discover when he was learning Sanskrit?A. Sanskrit was very similar to some European languages.B. Sanskrit was an ancient language.C. The Sanskrit word for mother is the same as that in Latin.D. Latin and Greek were very similar.82. Which of the following statements is true about "the common source"?A. Jones found out the common source.B. All languages sprang from the common source.C. Only three languages sprang from the common source.D. Since 1786, scholars have traced many languages to the common source.83. Where did the common source originate?A. In southern Europe.B. In north-central Europe.C. In India.D. in Pakistan.84. What can be concluded from the passage?A. Jones first discovered the root language.B. The languages with the common source are called the Indo-European family.C. The root language developed into different languages as people migrated.D. Every language in Europe is part of the Indo-European family.TEXT BYour first culture shock came after you left your home country and you needed to adjust to the United States, It is now important to learn cultural information about your company, so that you will fit in and perform successfully. The people who make up this environment have their own customs, habits and expectations of each new employee. Gathering information that is formal (policy) and informal (traditions) will help you learn the professional norms and become fully accepted.Policies are corporate documents describing procedures, rules, and standards that guide decision making and conduct. They are similar to official laws that govern a country. Some sources of such written company information include the annual report, product or service brochures, technical and procedural manual, employee directory and the company newsletter. Organizational traditions are usually unwritten hut common practices that have evolved over time.They set the tone and philosophy of the particular corporation, just as the customs of a country do. The best way to learn such information is to observe and talk with others such as your supervisor and co-workers.You can supplement ideas from formal introductory materials given you earlier. Explore with fellow employees those behaviors that may be tolerated but frowned upon. Ask your supervisor for feedback to avoid typical traps that could cause your co-workers to reject you as a professional. Keep this guide nearby, and refer to it often in private. Reviewing formal company procedures, handouts, written notes, ideas, comments from bosses and colleagues, together with materials in this handbook, will help you make a more healthy cultural adjustment.85. What is the purpose to learn cultural information?A. To know the U. S. A. better.B. To work better in the new environment.C. To make more money.D. To improve one's English.86. According to the passage, ___________ is not the policy's function.A. describing procedures, rules and standardsB. governing a countryC. helping to guide decision making and conductD. writing down the company's information87. ____________ is the best way to learn the organizational traditions.A. To read the policiesB. To study the philosophyC. To study a country's customsD. To observe and communicate with the colleagues and boss.88. How to make a more healthy cultural adjustment?A. Read this passage often.B. Discuss the organizational culture with your colleagues.C. Gather and review the formal and informal information in the corporation.D. Ask your boss for help.89. The passage is written to ___________.A. help readers to understand the organization's cultureB. explain the culture shockC. analyze the policies and traditionsD. help readers to work better with their supervisor and co-workers。

A country's standard of living, ____31_______, depends first and 32 on its capacity to produce wealth. “Wealth” in this sense is not money, for we do not live on money 33 on thing s that money can buy: “goods” such as food and clothing, and “services” such as transport and “ __34 __ ” .A country's capacity to produce wealth depends upon many factors, most of 35 have an effect on one another. Wealth depends 36 a great extent upon a country's natural resources. Some regions of the world are well supplied with coal and minerals, and have a fertile soil and a 37 climate; other regions possess none of them.Next to natural resources 38 the ability to turn them to use. China is perhaps as well 39 as the USA in natural resources, but suffered for many years from civil and 40 wars, and 41 this and other reasons was 42 to develop her resources. 43 and stable political conditions, and 44 _____ from foreign invasion, enable a country to develop its natural resources peacefully and steadily, and to produce more wealth than another country equally well 45 by nature but less well ordered.A country's standard of living does not only depend upon the wealth that is produced and consumed 46 it own borders, but also upon what is indirectly produced through international trade. 47 Britain's wealth in foodstuffs and other agricultural products would be much less if she had to depend only on 48 _ grown at home. Trade makes it possible for her surplus manufactured goods to be traded abroad for the agricultural products that would 49be lacking. A country’s wealth is, therefore, much influen ced by its manufacturing capacity, 50 that other countries can be found ready to accept its manufactures.31.

Choose the one that you think is the best answer.Mark your answers on your answer sheet.TEXT AAll Sir William Jones wanted to do was to learn Sanskrit. While he was studying, however, he made a surprising discovery. This ancient language of India was amazingly similar to Latin and Greek. The Sanskrit word for "mother"—matar—was almost identical to the Latin word, mater. “Father” was pitar in Sanskrit, pater in Latin and Greek. The more he studied, the more similarities he found.How could this be? Thousands of miles and many natural barriers separated India and Europe. Still, Jones concluded, the similarities were too strong to be accidental. In 1786, he announced “No one could examine them all three, without believing them to have sprung from some common source.”Since then, scholars have traced many languages to this “common source.” Today, these languages are called the Indo-European family. But where did this source originate? Language and geography provide the clues. European languages have similar words for the animals and trees of northern Europe, such as oak, willow, bear, and wolf. There are no common words for the animals and trees of southern Europe.To scholars, this suggests that the Indo-European languages began in north central Europe. In time, some northern Europeans set out toward the east, settling in Iran, India, and Pakistan. Others migrated westward toward southern and western Europe. The root language developed into dozensof different languages, but the family resemblances remain. The word for “three” is drei in German, tres in Spanish, tre in Albanian, and tri in Russian.Almost every language in Europe is part of the Indo-European family, but there are exceptions. Hungarian and Finnish cling to other language families. High in the Pyrenees, the Basque people speak a language that has no known relatives. Perhaps the Basques were the original inhabitants of the region. Isolated by mountains, they may have been bypassed by the spread of Indo-European culture.81. What did Sir William Jones discover when he was learning Sanskrit?A. Sanskrit was very similar to some European languages.B. Sanskrit was an ancient language.C. The Sanskrit word for mother is the same as that in Latin.D. Latin and Greek were very similar.82. Which of the following statements is true about "the common source"?A. Jones found out the common source.B. All languages sprang from the common source.C. Only three languages sprang from the common source.D. Since 1786, scholars have traced many languages to the common source.83. Where did the common source originate?A. In southern Europe.B. In north-central Europe.C. In India.D. in Pakistan.84. What can be concluded from the passage?A. Jones first discovered the root language.B. The languages with the common source are called the Indo-European family.C. The root language developed into different languages as people migrated.D. Every language in Europe is part of the Indo-European family.TEXT BYour first culture shock came after you left your home country and you needed to adjust to the United States, It is now important to learn cultural information about your company, so that you will fit in and perform successfully. The people who make up this environment have their own customs, habits and expectations of each new employee. Gathering information that is formal (policy) and informal (traditions) will help you learn the professional norms and become fully accepted.Policies are corporate documents describing procedures, rules, and standards that guide decision making and conduct. They are similar to official laws that govern a country. Some sources of such written company information include the annual report, product or service brochures, technical and procedural manual, employee directory and the company newsletter. Organizational traditions are usually unwritten hut common practices that have evolved over time. They set the tone and philosophy of the particular corporation, just as the customs of a country do. The best way to learn such information is to observe and talk with others such as your supervisor and co-workers.You can supplement ideas from formal introductory materials given you earlier. Explore with fellow employees those behaviors that may be tolerated but frowned upon. Ask your supervisor for feedback to avoid typical traps that could cause your co-workers to reject you as a professional.Keep this guide nearby, and refer to it often in private. Reviewing formal company procedures, handouts, written notes, ideas, comments from bosses and colleagues, together with materials in this handbook, will help you make a more healthy cultural adjustment.85. What is the purpose to learn cultural information?A. To know the U. S. A. better.B. To work better in the new environment.C. To make more money.D. To improve one's English.86. According to the passage, ___________ is not the policy's function.A. describing procedures, rules and standardsB. governing a countryC. helping to guide decision making and conductD. writing down the company's information87. ____________ is the best way to learn the organizational traditions.A. To read the policiesB. To study the philosophyC. To study a country's customsD. To observe and communicate with the colleagues and boss.88. How to make a more healthy cultural adjustment?A. Read this passage often.B. Discuss the organizational culture with your colleagues.C. Gather and review the formal and informal information in the corporation.D. Ask your boss for help.89. The passage is written to ___________.A. help readers to understand the organization's cultureB. explain the culture shockC. analyze the policies and traditionsD. help readers to work better with their supervisor and co-workersTEXT C“White hostility toward African Americans, and the resulting discrimination, have bee n fueled by a sense of threat. During slavery, many working-class whites, encouraged by slaveholders, feared the release of large numbers of blacks into the labor market and society in general. When northern industries used African Americans as strikebreakers in the first decades of this century, white workers feared the loss of their jobs. Today, many white Americans fear “black violence”. Moreover, specific fears about the “costs” of welfare as well as the "taking" of jobs through affirmative action have added to the fear of black violence.These fears have translated into negative stereotypes of African Americans as a people who are prone to crime and violence, unwilling to work, and a drain on the white taxpayer through their welfare dependency. In turn, these stereotypes have been used to justify informal discrimination, to prevent the help to the urban poor, to be negligent in enforcing laws or policies prohibiting discriminatory practices against black workers, and most important, to hesitate in making a seriouseffort at job creation for African Americans. The result is that African Americans’ share of valued resources has not increased much over the last two decades, even as formal discrimination has been greatly lessened. This fact is used to further the negative belief that African Americans have "not taken advantage of their equal opportunities."90. According to the passage, how did the northern industries make use of African Americans in 1900s?A. Sent them to ask the strikers to go back to work.B. Made them work very hard.C. Employed them to threaten the white strikers.D. Released them into the labor market.91. What is the ill influence of these negative stereotypes?A. Giving help to the poor black.B. Justifying informal discrimination.C. Enforcing laws prohibiting discriminatory practices against black workers.D. Creating opportunities of employment for the black.92. What can be inferred from "a drain on the white taxpayer" about the African Americans?A. They are unwilling to work.B. They never pay tax.C. They lack security.D. Their welfare depends on the white's tax.93. The author wrote the passage to tell us__________.A. African Americans pose a threat to the whites in employmentB. African Americans are dependent on the tax paid by the whitesC. African Americans are discriminated against because they are often on strikeD. the sense of threat intensifies the white's hospitality and discrimination against the African AmericansTEXT D“People thought of themselves as having rights from companies,” said Hoshua Freeman, a labor historian at Columbia University. That sense of entitlement grew even stronger in the early decades after World War II and collective bargaining became the arena for arguing out wages, pensions, health insurance, vacations, hours and job security.That system is disappearing today. Career-long attachments to one employer, a notion born in the 1920's, are no longer the .norm. The new class-consciousness makes less distinction between workers and managers. Rights are relative, at best. An increasingly conservative electorate has reduced government's role in regulating the economy. Unions have lost influence and membership.What people do is try to cope, by themselves, said Ms. Skelly, of DYG. Self-employment is one solution, DYG's polls show, and that is a rising trend. "They try, on the job, to hide any weakness in their performance," she said. “They work longer hours and take work home, without letting the boss know, to give the impression that they can do diffic ult tasks quickly. There is nothing like, ‘we are all in this together.’ There is too much competition. People talk of their weakness to friends and spouses, but not to coworkers.”And many Americans feel in their hearts that the unemployment might be just ified. “There is a sense among people that we are inefficient and bloated,” Ms. Skelly said. “And until they feel that is no longer true, they are reluctant to criticize the forces that are cutting out the fat and the inefficiencies.”94. It can be inferred from the second paragraph that ___________.A. people do not enjoy their rights nowadaysB. people are more likely to change their jobs than they were in the 1920'sC. workers and managers share the same rights todayD. nowadays, people refuse to take part in the Union95. According to Ms Skelly, which of the following is true?A. People like to work overtime.B. People want to work at home.C. People want to impress the boss with their capability and efficiency.D. People need help from their families, for they cannot cope with difficult problems themselves.96. People hide their weakness from___________.A. their parentsB. their wives or husbandsC. their friendsD. their colleagues97. The main idea of the passage is___________.A. people thought of themselves as having rights from companiesB. people's sense of entitlement is not as strong as it used to beC. people work at homeD. people regard unemployment as usualTEXT EYou may not have thought of it just this way, but the letter you write is part of you, and expression of your personality. Therefore to write letters that are mere patterns of form is to present a colorless personality.Letters, by their very nature, are too individual to be standardized. A letter may be absolutely perfect according to the standards of good taste and good form; but unless it also expresses something of the writer's personality, it is not a good letter.In other words, don't be satisfied to write letters that are just correct and nothing more. Try to write letters that are correct for you... letters that are warm and alive with reflections of your own personality.And if this sounds like a platitude (陈词滥调), stop for a moment and think back over your recent correspondence. What was the most interesting letter you received? Was it a letter anyone could have written? Or was it a letter that instantly “came alive” as you read it—that brought the personality of the sender right into the room with you. as though you were face to face, listening instead of reading?The fault with too many letters, today as in the past—the reason so many letters are dull and lifeless, and often fail to accomplish the purpose for which they are written is simply this: Theysound exactly like the letters everyone else writes. They are neither exciting to receive nor stimulating to read.98. What does the author mean by saying “the letter you write is part of you”?A. Writing letters plays an important part in your life.B. When you write letters, you should be careful about what to write.C. People can see your personality from the letters you write.D. You should write good letters.99. What does the author want to explain in the fourth paragraph?A. A good letter presents one's personality.B. His opinion is a platitude.C. Letter-writing is interesting.D.

According to this policy, college students are supposed to pay an average sum of 2500 yuan each year as tuition. In addition, they must pay other fees, such as accommodation and healthcare. Students can finance their college education in various ways. They may depend on their parents, as is the most common case in China. They can do part-time jobs to earn money. For some excellent students, they may apply for scholarships. And the especially poor students may turn to loan programs for financial aid. With one of my parents laid-off, my family can’t possibly afford all my expenses at college. However, my family is not as hard up as those from the poverty-stricken areas, and I don’t want to seek help from the loan programs. Instead, I prefer self-reliance by offering instruction as a tutor. This way I find myself not only better off financially, but also by getting out of the ivory tower, making great progress academically. As a result, I have been a first-class scholarship winner for two years on end.

According to psychologists Susan Onco and Michael Balton, children have very clear ideas about which musical instruments they should play. They find that despite the best efforts of teachers these ideas have changed very little over the past decade. They interviewed 153 children aged between 9 and 11 from schools in northwest England. They asked them to identify 4 musical instruments and then to say which they would like to play most and which they would least lie to play. They also asked the children for their views on whether boys or girls should not play any of the 4 instruments. The piano and the violin were both ranked more favorably by girls than by boys, while boys prefer the drums and trumpets. There was broad agreement between boys and girls on which instruments each sex should play and the reasons vary. And while almost half of all boys said they avoid certain instruments because they were too difficult to play, only 15% of girls gave that as a reason. Earlier studies indicated that very young school children aged between 5 and 7 showed no bias in choosing musical instruments, but their tastes become more clear between the ages of 8 and 10. One survey of 78 teachers suggested that after that age both boys and girls.Passage Two (2000年6月6级)The world's smartest adolescence in mathematics and science are in Singapore, according to a global survey of educational achievement. In the 3rd International Mathematics and Science Study, 13-year-olds from Singapore achieved the best scores in standardized tests of maths and science that were administered to 287, 896 students in 41 countries in 1994 and 1995. The survey suggests that science and maths education is especially strong in the Far East. While well behind those top scores, students from Australia earned higher marks in maths than their counterparts in England, who in turn did better than American students. The study collected information on the students' teachers and homes. Not surprisingly, the highest-scoring students had well-educated parents or came from homes containing study-aids such as computers, dictionaries or even such elemental facilities as desks. The study shows that boys generally did better than girls in science, but there was little difference between them in maths. Boys scored better than girls in physics and chemistry. There were no sex differences in the life and environmental sciences. In addition to being tested, students in the project were asked how proficient they thought they were in maths and science. Students in some countries, such as Columbia and Kuwait, had an overly optimistic view of their skills. Meanwhile, some of the best students from Japan and Korea for example were needlessly pessimistic even though they did far better in maths than almost all of other students.Passage Three (2000年6月6级)In the 1970s, the famous Brazilian football player Pele retired from the national team of Brazil and became a professional player for a team in New York. Football, or soccer, wasn't very popular in the United States at that time. Few North Americans knew anything about this fast-moving sport. There was no money to pay professional players and there was little interest in football in high schools and colleges. When Pele and other international stars began playing in various US cities, people saw how interesting the game was and began to go to the matches. It is now common for important games to have fifty to sixty thousand fans. Support from the fans is important to the football. The fans cheer enthusiastically for their favoriteplayers and teams, who respond by playing better than before. In most World Cups, the home team, or the team from the host country usually plays better than most people expect. In 1966, 1974 and 1978, the home teams of England, West Germany and Argentina all won the World Cup. The World Cup is called that because teams from every continent have played in it. However, since the Cup began, all of the winning teams have been from Europe or South America. Teams from Asia or Africa always do well but they haven't yet won. Mexico played surprisingly well in the 1970 Cup, which it hosted, but it wasn't among the 4 final teams.News Item One (1997年英语专业四级)A twenty-year action plan for cutting the rate of world population growth is expected to win wide approval today in Cairo.
