For the second time in five months， a 23-year-old California woman has been arrested after she crashed her car while driving under the influence(DUI)at the exact same spot north of Lake Tahoe.And to top it off, Truckee Police say that in both cases, her blood alcohol content was more than three times the legal limit.The police say Melissa Dennison of Truckee crashed at about noon on Sunday on Glenshire Drive just south of the Glenshire Bridge. They say she was extremely drunk and had trouble standing or walking.Her blood alcohol level initially was measured at 346. The legal limit.08.Sergeant J. Litchie said Dennison also had been charged with a DUI in January when she crashed at the same spot and registered a blood alcohol level of 380. If found guilty of the second offense, she faces up to 10 years in prison and fines in excess of 2.000.A telephone message the Associated Press left at a listing for Dennison in Truckee on Tuesday was not immediately returned.36.Who is the author of the passage?A.

Punished.Passage TwoThere were many different cultures in the ancient world, but the two that had the most influence on European and American civilizations were the Greek and the Roman. Often these two cultures are lumped together in our minds, as if they were really exactly alike. But that is not the case. In many ways the Greeks and the Romans could not have been more different.The Greeks were truly democratic, often without a single leader but instead governed by a group of men chosen by the people. The Romans were semi-democratic. They had a governing Senate, but the political power was mostly or completely in the hands of a single emperor.Both cultures were great builders. But the construction interests of the two cultures were also different. The Greeks tended to be more artistic. Their buildings were well constructed and they were especially interested in temples, columns, and decorative forms. The Romans, on the other hand, were more engineers than artists.They concentrated their efforts on urban planning, well-functioning water pipes, and the best roads.Only in cooking and eating habits are the two cultures really similar. Both peoples ate very well indeed: lots of fish, fresh vegetables and fruits, healthy meals, holding at the same time long discussions and tasting excellent wines. In fact, it would probably be fair to say that they both loved life in their warm,sea-oriented climates and they both lived a full life.40. What is the first paragraph about?A. The Greek and the Roman were similar.B. People misunderstood European civilization.C. Greek civilization was quite different from Roman civilization.D. European civilization influenced American civilization greatly.41. Which of the following is TRUE?A. The Romans had more political awareness.B. The Romans had less political freedom and democracy.C. The Romans had more freedom to choose their leader.D. The Romans had fewer people elected into the government.42. What were the Greeks famous for?A. The overall planning of a city or a town.B. The artistic decoration of the buildings.C. The practical functions of the buildings.aD. The system of water supply and transportation.43. How are the two cultures alike?A. Both loved the sea.B. Both lived long lives.C. Both loved cookingD. Both enjoyed talking over meals.Passage ThreeAs recently as three decades ago, many Americans believed that using credit was an unwise and dangerous way to pay for what they bought. Some even thought that owing money to a store or a credit company was something to be ashamed of. Good citizens, they believed, always bought what they wanted with real money and they paid the full price immediately.Today, however, all that has changed. Credit, as some observers have noted, has become a way of life in the United States. More and more Americans now are depending on those small pieces of plastic, credit cards, to pay for large purchases such as televisions, record players or furniture. Many people today would consider it unusual not to use a credit card to pay for a costly restaurant dinner, a hotel room or an airline trip. And there are some situations in which Americans must have credit cards. If they want the temporary use of a car, for example, they first must give the car rental company the number of their credit card. That number is considered a guarantee that they will return the car and payCredit cards offer two major services to Americans. First of all, they are easier and safer to carry than large amounts of money. Second, they permit people to borrow, to have the immediate pleasure of owning something, even if they do not have enough money to pay for it at the time. With credit cards people pay for goods or services at the end of each month instead of when they buy them. And when the time does come to pay, most credit cards offer people a choice. They can pay all of what they owe for the month or they can just pay usually between 5 and 10 percent of what they owe.44. What do Americans feel about using credit cards nowadays according to the passage?A. They consider it valuable.B. They regard it as a shame.C. They think it dangerous.D. They find it quite convenient.45. Why does the car rental company ask for the credit card number?A. To prevent the overuse of the car.B. To make sure that the car won't be damaged.C. To make sure the user return the car and pay for using it.D. To ensure that the car is safely and timely returned.46. What advantage can credit card holders have?A. They can choose not to pay for their purchases.B. They can easily borrow money at a lower interest.C. They can own something before they actually pay for it.D. They can pay only a small amount of what they owe.47. What is the best title for the passage?A. Credit-a Way of Life in AmericaB. Credit Services in AmericaC. Convenience of Living in AmericaD. History of Credit Cards in AmericaPassage FourAt the 1893 Columbian Exposition, a World Fair held in Chicago, chocolate-making machinery made in Germany was displayed. It caught the eye of M. S. Hershey, who saw the potential for chocolate. He installed chocolate machinery in his factory in Lancaster, and produced his first chocolate bars in 1894.Other Americans began mixing in other materials to make up new candy bars throughout the end of the 1890's and the early 1900's. But it was World War I that really brought attention to the candy bar.The U. S. Army Quartermaster Corps requested various American chocolate manufacturers to provide 20 to 40 pound blocks of chocolate to be shipped to quartermaster bases. The blocks were cut into smaller distributed to American soldiers in Europe. Eventually the task of making smaller pieces was turned back to the manufacturers. By the end of the war when the soldiers arrived home, the American candy bar business was assured. Why? Because the returning soldiers had grown fond of chocolate candy and wanted more of the same. As a result from thattime on and through the 1920's, candy bar manufacturers became established throughout the United States, and as many as 40, 000 different candy bars appeared on the scene.The original candy bar industry had its start on the eastern coast in such cities as Philadelphia, Boston, and New York. The industry soon spread to the Midwest because shipping and raw materials such as sugar, corn syrup, and milk were easily available. Chicago became the seat of the candy bar industry and is even today an important base.48. Why did M. S. Hershey start the production of chocolate bars?A. He was deeply impressed by the Columbian Exposition.B. He realized that it was possible for chocolate to become popularC. There was nothing to produce in his factory in Lancaster.D. He was interested in the chocolate machinery displayed at the fair49. Which event brought the booming of American candy bar business?A. The adding of new materials.B. The demand in the army during WWI.C. The purchase of new machinesD. The appearance of smaller candy bars.50. What does the underlined word "seat"in the last paragraph most probably mean?A. Focus.B. Position.C. Chair.D. Center51. What is this passage mainly about?A. World Fair held in Chicago in 1893.B. The popularity of the American candy bar industry.oC. The candy bar industry during World War.D. The spread of the candy bar business to the Midwest.Passage FiveMark Twain is one of America's much-beloved authors, creating imaginative and humorous classics for children and adults alike, such as The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, The Prince and The Pauper,and Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Twain passed away in 1910, leaving behind a treasure of great literature. But now, 100 years after his death, he'll have a brand-new book on the shelves: a three-volume autobiography. Twain hasn't been keeping busy in his tomb it was his wish that publishers wait until 100 years after his death to publish his memoirs ) which he spent the last decade of his life working on.The autobiography totals more than 5,000 pages, and likely won't be all sunshine and roses. It seems that Twain harbored some bitterness against former girlfriends and ex-friends. He also writes negatively about politicians of his day, such as Teddy Roosevelt. It's likely that he requested such a long lead time for the memoirs because he didn't want to hurt the feelings of anyone mentioned in this work.Although small sections of the memoirs have been previously published the autobiography has never been available in full, and should provide great insights into the man behind the classic books. The first volume of the set will be available in November, and the trilogy is being published by the University of California, Berkeley."There are so many biographies of Twain, and many of them have used bits and pieces of the autobiography", editor Robert Hirst told The Independent. "But biographers pick and choose what bits to quote. By publishing Twain's book in full we hope that people will be able to come to their own complete conclusions about what sort of a man he was."52. According to Paragraph 1, which of the statements is TRUE of Mark Twain?A. He left behind lots of money.B. His works were written for children.C. His works are full of adventures.D. He is famous for his great works.53. What can we learn about Mark Twain's autobiography from the passage?A. It has been published against Twain's will.B. It shows Twain's respect for politicians.C. It will be published in full.D. It has been recently finished.54. What does the underlined word "trilogy" in Paragraph 4 mean?A. work in three volumes.B. An imaginative work.C. collection of stories.D. Memoirs of famous people.55. What is the purpose of publishing Twain's autobiography?A. To supplement other biographies.B. To help readers to understand Mark Twain.C. To introduce Mark Twain's works.D. To expose new discoveries about Mark TwainV.

For each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose one best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneTwo hundred years ago, American students went to American schools.Like you, they studied arithmetic, spelling and geography. Unlike you, they also studied Greek and Latin. In fact, students spent more than half their time studying Greek and Latin. The same was true for most students in Europe. Until the seventh century, all educated Europeans knew Latin.It did not matter if they lived in England or Italy or France or Spain.If they were educated, they knew Latin.During the seventh century, educated Europeans began to study Greek as well as Latin. Greek and Latin had been the leading languages of the ancient Greeks and Romans. All educated Europeans were expected to know these languages.To educated Europeans, the languages ofthe Greeks and the Romans were important. The ideas of the Greeks and Romans were also important. People knew that many of their own ideas had come from the Greeks and the Romans. To understand their own culture, they must understand its origin.They knew that those beginnings lay in the classical world.Today we have so many things to study that few people have time to learn Greek and Latin. Few of you will study either language in school. Yet the ideas of the Greeks and the Romans are still important to us. These ideas still help to shape Western culture today. To understand our own culture, we must understand the culture of theclassical world.36. A good synonym for "origin" is__________.A. peopleB. futureC. beginningD. culture37. According to this passage, all educated Europeans of the seventh century were expected to study__________.A. physical science and chemistryB. Greek and LatinC. democracy and communismD. French and Spanish35. Today, most of people won't study either Greek or Latin because__________.A. they are no longer importantB. people do not have enough timeC. they are no longer existedD. people can not learn them well39. What can we conclude from this passage?A. Greeks and Romans significantly influenced European culture.B. The Greeks were the founders of democracy.C. The Greeks and Romans were bitter enemies.D. People of the classical world were barbaric and uneducated.Passage TwoWould you eat a bacon, lettuce and love apple sandwich? You probably have eaten many of them.Love apple was the name used many years ago for the tomato.The tomato is originally an American plant.It was found in South America by early Spanish explorers. The word tomato comes from the native Nahuatl word tomatl. But when it moved north, the plant earned a different name. Remarkably, the settlers in North America thought it was poisonous.They believed that to eat it was surely to die. It was said that deserted suitors would threaten to eat a tomato to cause their coldhearted lovers regret. Because of this legend, the settlers called the tomato a"love apple. " While people enjoyed other native plants such as corn and sweet potatoes, everyone avoided the tomato. No one knows who first dared to eat a tomato. Perhaps someone was brave enough, or lovesick enough, to try out the truth of the rumors. Of course, whoever ate this fruit was perfectly safe. No one died from eating a love apple. Still, it was many years before the people fully believed that the tomato was a safe, and even good food. But its use did become common, and the plant was sent across the ocean to become part of many traditional European dishes.40. The language from which we derived the word tomato isA. PortugueseB. SpanishC. NahuatlD. European41. North American people didn't eat tomatoes at first because__________.A. they had too much other foodB. they mistakenly thought they were poisonousC. settlers ate only traditional European foodsD. no one liked the taste42. The underlined word "suitor" in the second paragraph means__________.A. boyfriendB. laundererC. tailorD. explorer43. A good title for this passage would be__________.A. Life in Early AmericaB. What Happens to the BrokenheartedC. The History of the TomatoD. Vegetables in Our DietPassage ThreeNature has devised many ways to protect creatures' eyes.The most common protection is the eyelid--a fold of skin that closes over the eye, protecting it from damage. Eyelashes are useful for keeping out dust and other irritants, and tears wash away any particles that get through the other defenses.Some creatures, including most birds, have three eyelids.The upper and lower lids act like human lids and keep out twigs, dirt and sand. The third eyelid, however, is a semitransparent tissue that crosses over the eye from the inside corner to the outside corner.Because of this protective membrane, birds seldom have to blink. They close their eyes only when they go to sleep. In ducks,this third eyelid self as an underwater diving mask that helps the ducks find food.Most fish and snakes have no eyelids at all. Instead, a hard glassy covering protects their eyes. In fish, water constantly sweeps away dirt from the covering. And a snake's eyesight is usually so bad that a little dirt obscuring its vision does not disturb it greatly.Eyelashes defend the eye by shading it from glare. They also act like miniature brushes to remove dust. Camels have lashes that are four inches long to protect their eyes from windblown sand in the desert.44. A camel has long eyelashes__________.A. to keep windblown sand out of its eyesB. that get in the way of its sightC. to help it see betterD. to attract other camels45. The writer implies that eyelids are__________.A. not found on lizardsB. nice to look atC. always covered with eyelashesD. the most effective eye protection46. The author compares the duck's third eyelid to a__________.A. tissueB. glassy coveringC. tiny brushD. diving mask47. A good title for this passage would be__________.A. Look OutB. Birds' EyesC. Eyes in the NightD. Protecting the EyePassage FourAs part of an ongoing campaign against polyvinyl chloride (聚氯乙烯), a Virginia-based environmental advocacy group today called on manufacturers and retailers to phase out its use in shower curtains. The Center for Health, Environment and Justice ( CHEJ), released the results of a small study indicating that PVC (聚氯乙烯)-containing shower curtains are capable of emitting scores of potentially harmful materials, into people's bathrooms. A previous study, conducted by Environmental Protection Agency researchers, also found that plastic shower curtains can emit toxic compounds into the air.There's still debate among scientists about just how serious the health effects are especially at low doses. However, CHEJ urges consumers to avoid using PVC shower curtains, as well as many otherPVC products.For people who are concerned about their shower curtains, there are alternatives. IKEA phased out PVC shower curtains 11 years ago, switching to ethylene vinyl acetate(乙烯醋酸共聚物). The company has said that 88 percent of its shower curtains would be PVC free by spring of 2008.Manufacturers are not required to label shower curtains, but some do list" PVC" or" vinyl"on the packaging. Numerous online retailers, sell shower curtains--primarily cotton or hemp--that are free of PVC. However, mildew(发霉) can be a problem with cotton and hemp products.48. What did the study released by the Center for Health, Environment and Justice show?A. That PVC stands for polyvinyl chloride.B. Manufacturers are not required to label shower curtains.C. That most shower curtains sold at IKEA are made from PVC.D. That PVC shower curtains may release potentially harmful materials.49. What material are the shower curtains sold at IKEA made from?A. Ethylene vinyl acetate.B. Polyvinyl chloride.C. Cotton.D. PVC and EVA.50. What's the biggest problem with hemp and cotton shower curtains?A. They are see-through.B. They are too expensive.C. They may cause mildew.D. They emit harmful materials.51. Is it easy for consumers to tell that a shower curtain is made from PVC?A. Yes, that information is always on the shower curtain label.B. Not always, because shower curtains don't have to be labeled.C. Yes, but only if they're made by IKEA after 2008.D. No, because they only contain low doses of PVC.Passage FiveCompanies that employ illegal immigrants are to be named and shamed in a further attempt to crack down on people smuggling.The move by the Home Office comes four months after officials launched a concerted effort to identify and prosecute companies breaking the law.More than 200 companies have already been fined for hiring illegal labor. The Home Office says names of companies and directors are to be published on the UK Border Agency website. The agency will publish how many illegal immigrants the company was employing and how much it was fined.By May this year there had been 137 prosecutions under the new rules leading to fines totaling500,000--almost 3,000 per firm.The total number of prosecutions was 10 times more than were carried out in 2007, and double the total for the previous decade. Immigration chiefs are also switching their focus from small-time illegal employers,such as takeaway restaurants, in an effort to major organized criminal enterprises supplying illegal labor, often relying on international networks to smuggle people into the UK.Some 7,500 immigration officers will be re-organized into more localized teams with police and customs officials in an effort to better target what the Home Office says are illegal working hotspots.These could include areas of the economy where there is a high demand for labor including agriculture,construction and hospitality.Nobody knows how many people are working without permission in theUK--although estimates put the number of illegal residents at more than 500,000.Trade Union leaders have also raised concerns about the government's strategy, arguing that it could drive the worst employers further underground, penalizing exceptionally poor workers unable to break out of a situation they did not necessarily choose.52. What has happened in the first four months of the campaign to crack down on companies hiring illegal workers?A. Nothing. The campaign is still in its beginning stage.B.7,500 immigration officers will be re-organized into more localized teams.C.200 companies have been fined.D.3,000 small-time illegal employers have been cracked down.53. What steps will officials take to "shame" these companies?A. They will publish their names as well as the details of the offence online.B. They will shut down their business.C. They will inform the police about the illegal hiring.D. They will give poor workers working permission.54. Immigration officials are now focusing on__________.A. small-time illegal employersB. fining individual workersC. large-scale organized criminal operationsD. the government's strategy55. Trade Union officials fear that this new campaign (战役) might end up unjustly penalizing __________, by driving the employers further underground.A. employersB. workersC. illegal residentsD. companiesV.

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfin-ished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D.You should de-cide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:In sport the sexes are separate. (76) Women and men do not run or swim in the same races.Women are less strong than men. That at least is what people say. Women are called" 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 4 minutes. The best women need 4.5 minutes. Women' s speeds are always slower than men' s, but some facts are surprising. Some of the fastest women swimmers today are teenage girls. One of them swam 400 metres in 4 minutes 21.2 seconds when she was only 16. The first" Tarzan" in films was an Olympic swimmer, Johnny Weissmuller. His fastest 400 metres was 4 minutes 59.1 seconds, which is 37.9 seconds slower than a girl50 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(荷尔蒙)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 problem. Life can be very complicated when there are two separate sexes !1. Women are called "the weaker sex" because__________.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 together2. Which of the following is true?A. 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.3. "That at least is what people say. " means people__________.A. say other things tooB. don' t say this muchC. say this but may not think soD. only think this4. What problems does sport have?A. Some women athletes are actually men.B. Some women athletes are given hormone injections.C. Women and men do not mn or swim in the same races.D. It is difficult to check whether women athletes are really women.5. In this passage the author implies that__________ .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 womenPassage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:(77) What do we mean by a satisfactory standard of living? Obviously, it must include the basic necessities of life such as food, clothing and shelter. To get these necessities on regular basis,a person must have a reliable income. But we have other needs which would probably also be in-cluded as basic, such as health and education facilities.We may think of all of these as our needs. Yet most of us would be far from satisfied if we had nothing more than these which are supplied for us. (78) We all enjoy extra income to spend on things like books, sports or hobbies. Sometimes we save some of this extra income to pay for future expense of this type on holidays. So we must add our wants to our basic needs. Our standard of liv-ing is the degree, to which these needs and wants are satisfied.But as time goes on, what we think of as our basic needs changes. Twenty years ago a televi-sion would have been a luxury, and still is in many countries now. Even now we cannot say it is a need in the same sense as food, clothing and shelter. Yet if most of the people of a country have one, it comes to be accepted as a need. It is possible therefore to have food, clothing and shelter and still be poor by the standards of our own society.6. What we need in life is divided into__________ according to this article.A. the basic necessities and luxuryB. many kinds of need such as food, clothing and housesC. four groups the basic necessities, luxury, reliable income and future expenseD. the basic necessities and reliable income7. A person who gets the basic necessities must __________according to the writer.A. have a reliable incomeB. learn how to please his managerC. finish his work ahead the timeD. get a good education8. We all enjoy__________.A. having only reliable incomeB. having reliable income and extra incomeC. having nothing more than food and clothingD. having nothing more than reliable income9. With time going on,__________.A. a luxury may change into a need which most people want to getB. the basic needs are getting smaller and smallerC. a luxury and the basic needs can be exchangedD. the basic needs can be changed into a luxury10. If most of the people of a country have a television, we__________.A. can say the television is a need in the same sense as food and clothing and shelterB. can say the television must be in the basic necessitiesC. cannot say the television is in the basic necessitiesD. can say every family must have onePassage 3Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:Increasingly, over the past ten years, people--especially young people--have become aware of the need to change their eating habits, because much of the food they eat, particularly processed food, is not good for the health. Consequently, there has been a growing interest in natural foods.Foods which do not contain chemical additives (添加剂) and which have not been affected by chemical fertilizers, widely used in farming today.(79) Natural foods, for example, are vegetables, fruit and grain which have been grown in soil that is rich in organic ( 有机的 ) matter. In simple terms, this means that the soil has been nourished by unused vegetable matter, which provides it with essential vitamins and minerals. This in itself is a natural process compared with the use of chemicals and fertilizers, the main purpose of which is to increase the amount--but not the quality--of foods grown in commercial farming areas. Natural foods also include animals which have been allowed to feed and move freely in healthy pastures(牧场). Compare this with what happens in the mass production of poultry: there are farms, for example, where thousands of chickens live crowded together in one building and are fed on food which is little better than rubbish. Chickens kept in this way are not only tasteless as food, they also lay eggs which lack important vitamins.There are other aspects of healthy eating which are now receiving increasing attention from ex-perts on diet. Take, for example, the question of sugar. This is actually a non-essential food! Al-though a natural alternative, such as honey, can be used to sweeten food if it is necessary, we can in fact do without it. It is not that sugar is harmful in itself. But it does seem to be addictive: the quantity we use has grown steadily over the last two centuries and in Britain today each person con-sumes an average of 200 pounds a year! Yet all it does is to provide us with energy, in the form of calories. There are no vitamins in it, no minerals and no fiber.(80) It is significant that nowadays fiber is considered to be an important part of a healthy di-et. In white bread, for example, the fiber has been removed. But it is present in unrefined flour and of course in vegetables. It is interesting to note that in countries where the national diet con-tains large quantities of unrefined flour and vegetables, certain diseases are comparatively rare.Hence the emphasis is placed on the eating of whole meal bread and more vegetables by modern ex-perts on "healthy eating".11. People have become more interested in natural foods because__________.A. they are more health consciousB. they want to taste all kinds of foodsC. natural foods are more delicious than processed foodsD. they want to return to nature12. Soil that is rich in organic matters__________.A. has had chemicals and fertilizers added to itB. contains vegetable matter that has not been consumedC. has been nourished by fertilizersD. already contains large quantities of vitamins and minerals13. Chickens raised in poultry farms are all of the following EXCEPT that__________.A. they are fed on food which is little better than garbageB. they live in very crowded conditionC. the eggs they lay lack vitaminsD. they are allowed to move about and eat freely14. According to the passage,__________.A. people need sugar to give them energyB. sugar is bad for the healthC. the use of sugar is habit formingD. sugar only sweetens food, but provides us with nothing useful15. The best title for this passage is__________.A. People' s Growing Interest in Natural FoodsB. Natural Foods and Healthy DietC. Harmful Effects of SugarD. The Importance of Fiber in FoodsPart ⅡVocabulary and Structure (30 % )Directions: In this part there are 30 incomplete sentences.For each sentence there are four choices marked A, B, C and D.

Let’s say your child hits a playmate with a toy-hard enough to make the other child cry. How can you teach you child to feel sorry so he or she won’t do it again? Researchers say the best way for parents to react(反应)is to show their anger and to let the child know exactly why they are mad. Many parents believe that it is best to control their feelings and to wait until they’re calm before scolding their children. But the mother or father who explains reasonably to a child. “Peter was crying because you hit him, “is not likely to attract much attention. Young children need to be sc olded immediately, and strongly, before they’ll take criticism(批评)to heart.When your young child does something wrong, scold him or her seriously at once, At the same time be sure to tell the child clearly what he or she has done wrongs, An angry reaction without an immediate explanation does little good .side or not allowing him to watch TV as a punishment works well—but only when taken together with an explanation, Make certain your child understands that although his or her wrongdoing has made you angry, you still love him or her ,Use simple, direct words such as “You hurt peter. How would you feel if he hit you? You must never, never hurt people”. If your voice expresses strong feeling clearly. Your message will carry enough weight. 36. According to researchers, how should parents react when their child did something wrong? ______ A. Ask the child not to do it again any time. B. let the child know what exactly happened. C. Teach the child why and how to say sorry to others. D: Show the child how angry they are and tell him why. 37. What do many parents think they should do with the wrongdoer? ______ A .Speak strongly and angrily to him. B. Hide their feelings when talking to him. C. Explain immediately why he was wrong. D. Calm themselver down before scolding him. 38. What could be the best title for the text? ______ A. Best ways to Stop Children’s Wrongdoings. B. Differences among Parents in Dealing with Children. C. Different Ways to Deal with Children’s Wrongdoings. D. Research on Preventing Children from Hurting Others. Passage 2 Eight years ago, officials in Chicago, Illinois, decided to replace the black roof on the city government building with a planted garden, The aim was to reduce energy costs, improve air quality and control the rainwater entering the city’s waste system(系统).

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfin-ished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D.You should de-cide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the.following passage:There was one thought that air pollution affected only the area immediately around large citieswith factories and heavy automobile traffic. At present, we realize that although these are the areas with the worst air pollution, the problem is literally worldwide. ( 76 ) On several occasions over the past decade, a heavy cloud of air pollution has covered the east of the United States and brought health warnings in rural areas away from any major concentration of manufacturing and automobile traffic. In fact, the very climate of the entire earth may be infected by air pollution. Some scien-tists consider that the increasing concentration of carbon dioxide in the air resulting from the burning of fossil fuels (coal and oil) is creating a "greenhouse effect"--conserving heat reflected from the earth and raising the world' s average temperature. If this view is correct and the world' s tempera- ture is raised only a few degrees, much of the polar ice cap will melt and cities such as New York,Boston, Miami, and New Orleans will be in water.(77) Another view, less widely held, is that increasing particular matter in theatmosphere is blocking sunlight and lowering the earth' s temperature--a result that would be equally disastrous.A drop of just a few degrees could create something close to a new ice age, and would make agri-culture difficult or impossible in many of our top fanning areas. Today we do not know for sure that either of these conditions will happen (though one recent government report drafted by experts in the field concluded that the greenhouse effect is very possible ). Perhaps, if we are lucky enough, the two tendencies will offset each other and the world' s temperature will stay about the same as it is now.1. As pointed out at the beginning of the passage, people used to think that air pollution__________.A. caused widespread damage in the countrysideB. affected the entire eastern half of the United StatesC. had damaging effect on healthD. existed merely in urban and industries areas2. As to the greenhouse effect, the author__________.A. shares the same view with the scientistsB. is uncertain of its occurrenceC. rejects it as bein~ ungroundedD. thinks that it will destroy the world soon3. The word "offset" in the second paragraph could be replaced by__________.A. slip intoB. make up forC. set upD. catch up with4. It can be concluded that__________.A. raising the world' s temperature only a few degrees would not do much harm to life on earthB. lowering the world' s temperature merely a few degrees would lead many major farming areas to disasterC. almost no temperature variations have occurred over the past decadeD. the world' s temperature will remain constant in the years to come5. This passage is primarily about__________.A. the greenhouse effectB. the burning of fossil fuelsC. the potential effect of air pollutionD. the likelihood of a new ice agePassage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage :Harriet Beecher Stowe had poured her heart into her anti-slavery book," Uncle Tom' s Cab-in". But neither she nor her first publisher thought it would be a big success.(78)The publisher was so doubtful that he wanted her to split the publishing costs with him, and all she hoped was that it would make enough money for her to buy a new silk dress.But when the first 5,000 copies were printed in 1852, they sold out in two days. In a year the book had sold 300,000 copies in the United States and 150,000 in England. For a while it outsold(销得比... 多) every book in the world, except the Bible. Within six months of its release, a play was made from the book which ran 350 performances in New York and remained America'. s most popular play for 80 years. ( 79 ) It might appear that" Uncle Tom' s Cabin" was universally popular, but this was certainly not true. Many people during those pre-Civil War days--particularly defenders of the slavery sys-tem-condemned it as false propaganda and poorly written melodrama(传奇剧作品).Harriet did have strong religious views against slavery ( When asked how she came to write the book, she replied," God wrote it. "), and she tried to convince people slavery was wrong, so per-haps the book could be considered propaganda. But if so, it was true propaganda, because it accu-rately described the evils of slavery. Though she was born in Connecticut, 1832, as a young woman she moved to Cincinnati, Ohio, when her father accepted the presidency of newly founded Lane Theological Seminary( 神学院). Ohio was a free state, but just across the Ohio River in Kentucky, Harriet saw slavery in ac-tion. She lived 18 years in Cincinnati, marrying Calvin Stowe, professor of a college. In 1851, Harriet Beecher Stowe began her book.Its vast influence strengthened the anti-slavery movement and angered defenders of the slave system. Today some historians(历史学家) think that it helped bring on the American Civil War.In fact, when Abraham Lincoln met Harriet at the White House during the Civil War, he said,"So, this is the little lady who started this big war. "6. Before the publication of the book "Uncle Tom' s Cabin"__________.A. Harriet knew that it would be a great successB. the publisher wanted Harriet to publish it at her own expenseC. nobody knew that it would become a very popular bookD. no publisher wanted to publish this anti-slavery book7. Some people did not like "Uncle Tom's Cabin" chiefly because__________.A. the author was merely an unknown little ladyB. they thought it was mere propagandaC. the book was poorly writtenD. the book might lead to a terrible war8. Han'iet Beecher Stowe was able to describe the evils of slavery because__________.A. she had lived for 18 years in a state where slavery was legalB. she had suffered quite a lot under the slavery systemC. she had witnessed what happened under the slavery systemD. she had read a lot about the slavery system9. When Abraham Lincoln called Harriet "the little lady who started this big war", he__________.A. thought that she was almost a war criminalB. was talking about the great influence her book had producedC. was blaming her for the miseries the people had suffered during the warD. was praising her for the contributions she had made during the war10. The writer wrote the passage in order to__________.A. expose the evils of the slavery systemB. condemn all kinds of warC. describe people' s life in Harriet' s timeD. tell us how Harriet wrote her famous bookPassage 3Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:"Equal pay for equal work" is a phrase used by the American women who feel that they are unfairly treated by society. They say it is not right for women to be paid less than men for the same work.Some people say men have more duties than women. A married man is thought to earn money to support his family and to make the important decision, so it is right for them to be paid more.Some are even against married women working at all. When wives go out to work, they say, the home and children are given no attention to. (80) If women are encouraged by equal pay to take full-time jobs, they will be unable to do the thing.s they are best at doing: makinga nice home and bringing up children.Women who disagree say they want to escape from the limited place which society wishes them to fill and to have freedom to choose between work and home life, or a mixture of the two.Women have the right not only to equal pay but also to equal chances.11. The women use the phrase "equal pay for equal work" to ask society to__________.A. pay men less than womenB. give women harder workC. pay men and women the same amount of money for the same workD. pay people more who do harder work12. Some people believe that__________.A. women can' t do what men canB. men have to work much harder than womenC. men can earn money more easily than womenD. men' s duties are different from women' s13. Some people holding even stronger opinions say that__________.A. women should be kind to their husbandsB. women are too weak to take full-time jobsC. home is the best pace for womenD. women should only take part-time jobs14. The women who disagree say that__________.A. women need chances to go out of the home more oftenB. women want more freedom in deciding what kind of life they wantC. women are no longer interested in taking care of their homesD. if women are given equal pay, they can do everything instead of men15. According to this passage some women want to give up __________.A. their present position in societyB. their marriageC. their right to equal payD. their home lifePart ⅡVocabulary and Structure (30%)Directions: In this part there are 30 incomplete sentences.For each sentence there are four choices marked A,B, C and D.

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfin-ished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D.You should de-cide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage :On November 19, 1863, Abraham Lincoln went to Gettysburg in Pennsylvania to speak at the National Soldiers Cemetery. The Civil War was still going on. There was much criticism of Presi-dent Lincoln at the time. He was not at all popular. He had been invited to speak at Gettysburg on-ly out of politeness. The principal speaker was to be Edward Everett, a famous statesman and speaker of the day. Everett was a handsome man and very popular everywhere.It is said that Lincoln prepared his speech on the train while going to Gettysburg. Late that night, alone in his hotel room and tired out, he again worked briefly on the speech. The next day Everett spoke first. He spoke for an hour and 57 minutes. His speech was a perfect example of the rich oratory of the day. Then Lincoln rose. The crowd of 15,000 people at first paid little attention to him. He spoke for only nine minutes. At the end there was little applause. Lincoln turned to a friend and remarked,"I have failed again". On the train back to Washington, he said sadly, "That speech was a fiat failure, and the people are disappointed".Some newspapers at first criticized the speech, but little by little as people redid the speech they began to understand better. (76) They began to appreciate its simplicity and its deep mean-ing. It was a speech which only Abraham Lincoln could have made.Today, every American school child learns Lincoln' s Gettysburg Address by heart. Now eve-ryone thinks of it as one of the greatest speeches ever given in Americanhistory.1. In 1863, Abraham Lincoln was__________.A. very criticalB. unpopularC. very popularD. very courteous2. Lincoln was invited to speak at the National Soldiers Cemetery because he was__________.A. a famous speakerB. a very handsome manC. President of the countryD. a popular statesman3. It can be inferred from the text that__________.A. Lincoln prepared his speech very carefully before he went to GettysburgB. Lincoln was very busy at the time and didn' t have much time to prepare his speechC. Lincoln' s speech was full of rich wordsD. Lincoln' s speech was very long4. It was a fact that Lincoln' s speech was__________.A. an immediately successB. warmly applaudedC. a total failureD. not well-received at first5. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A. Lincoln' s Gettysburg Address has deep meaning.B. Lincoln' s Gettysburg Address is simple in style.C. Lincoln' s Gettysburg Address is memorized by every American school child.D. Lincoln' s Gettysburg Address is the greatest speech ever delivered in the United States.Passage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:(77) In what now seems like the prehistoric times of computer history, the early post-war era( 站后时期 ), there was a quite widespread concern that computers would take over the world from man one day. Already today, less than forty years later, as computers are relieving us of more and more of the routine tasks in business and in our personal lives, we are facing with a less dramatic but also less foreseen problem. People tend to be over-trusting (过分信任) of computers and are re-luctant to challenge their authority. Indeed, they behave as if they were hardly aware that wrong buttons may be pushed, or that a computer may simply malfunction(失灵). (78) Obviously, there would be no point in investing (投入) in a computer if you had to check all its answers, but people should also rely on their own internal computers and check the machine when they have the feeling that something has gone wrong. Questioning and routine double checks must continue to be as much a part of good business as they were in pre-computer days.Maybe each computer should come with the following warning: for all the help thiscomputer may provide, it should not be seen as a substitute for fundamental thinking and reasoning skills.6. What is the main purpose of this passage?A. To look back to the early days of computers.B. To explain what technical problems may occur with computers.C. To discourage unnecessary investment in computers.D. To warn against the blindness to the probable shortcomings of computers.7. The passage recommends those dealing with computers to__________.A. be reasonably doubtful about themB. check all their answersC. substitute them for basic thinkingD. use them for business purpose only8. An "internal computer" ( Para. 2 ) is__________.A. a computer used exclusively by one company for its own problemsB. a person’s store of knowledge and the ability to process itC. the most up to date in home computer a company can buyD. a computer from the post-war era which is very reliable9. The passage suggests that the present day problem with regard to computers is __________.A. challengingB. psychologicalC. dramaticD. over-trusting10. It can be inferred from the passage that the author would disapprove of__________.A. computer science courses in high schoolsB. businessmen and women who use pocket calculatorsC. maintenance(连续不断) checks on computersD. companies which depend entirely on computersPassage 3Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:To swim across the English Channel takes at least nine hours. It' s a hard work and it makes you short of breath. To fly over the Channel takes only twenty minutes ( as long as you' re not held up at the airport), but it' s an expensive way to travel. You can travel by hovercraft if you don' t mind the noise, and that takes forty minutes. Otherwise you can go by boat, if you forget your sea-sickness ills. All these means of transport have their problems and the weary( 不耐烦的)travel-er often dreams of being able to drive to France in his own car. "Not possible", you say. Well,wait a minute. People are once again considering the idea of a Channel tunnel or bridge. This time, the Greater London Council is looking into the possibility of building a Channel link straight to London. (79) A bridge would cost far more than a tunnel, but you would be able to go by rail or by car on a bridge, whereas a tunnel would provide a rail link only.Why is this idea being discussed again? Is Britain becoming more conscious of theneed for links with Europe as a result of joining the EEC( 欧共体) ? Well, perhaps. The main reason,though, is that a tunnel or bridge would reach the twenty square kilometers of London' s disused dockland(船坞地) ~ A link from London to the continent would stimulate trade and re-vitalize(使…重新有活力) the port, and would make London a main trading center in Europe. (80)With a link over the Channel, you could buy your fish and chips in England, and be able to eat them in France while they were still warm!11. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Swimming across the Channel takes less than four hours.B. The idea of a Channel tunnel or bridge is a very new one.C. It is considered to be more difficult to swim across the channel than any other means.D. A tunnel or bridge would only reach as far as the coast.12. A tunnel would be__________.A. less expensive to be built than a bridgeB. more expensive to be built than a bridgeC. less expensive to be built than a railD. more expensive to be built than a rail13. If they built a Channel tunnel, you would__________.A. neither take a train nor go by carB. only take a trainC. either take a train or go by carD. only take a bus14. It can be concluded that many of London' s dockyards are__________.A. not usedB. seriously blockedC. fully usedD. opened again15. Channel link would__________.A. allow us to buy fish and chips in FranceB. make the journey from Europe to England dangerous but easier and fasterC. decrease more trade for London' s dockyardsD. make London more prosperous againPart 11Vocabulary and Structure ( 30 % )Directions: In this part there are 30 incomplete sentences.For each sentence there are four choices marked A,B, C and D.

You can also hear an approaching storm.Sounds bounce off heavy storm clouds and return to earth with increased force.An old saying describes it this way:"Sounds traveling far and wide,a storm day will betide."And don't scoff if your grandmother says she can feel a storm coming.It is commonly known that many people feel pains in their bones or in corns and bunions when the humidity rises,the pressure drops,and bad weather is on the way.36.The topic of this passage could beA.Expert Weather ForecastB.Seeing Approaching StormsC.Old Sayings about Weathering the Senses to Detect Weather Changes37.According to the passage,as a storm approaches,faraway objects lookA.hazy because of dust in the airB.clearer because air pressure is highC.clearer because air pressure is droppingD.distorted because of storm clouds38.In the last paragraph,the writer implies thatA.the idea of feeling a coming storm is foolishB.older people know a lot about weatherC.it is possible,but unlikely,that people feel aches when a storm is comingD.it is definitely true that some people can feel coming weather changes39.The underlined word"repressed''in paragraph3is close to in meaning.A.crushB.restrictC.lowerD.strugglePassage TwoThere are no inevitable outcomes of social class in child rearing.At the same time, there is no question that social class is important factor in how children are raised and the kind of adults that children become.Regarding social class,sociologists have found that parents socialize their children into the behaviors and norms of their work worlds.Members of the working class are closely supervised and are expected to follow explicit rules at their jobs.If they do not follow the precise rules and do as they are told,they will not keep their jobs.Their experience influences how they deal with their children.As a result,their concern is less with their children's motivations and more with their children's outward conformity.Thus they are more apt to use physical punishment in managing their children.On the other hand,middle-class parents,who are expected to take more initiative on the job,are more concerned that their children develop curiosity,self-expression,and self-control.They are also more likely to withdraw privileges or affection than to use physical punishment.40.The word"explicit"meansA.vagueB.difficultC.confusingD.clearly defined41.According to this passage,working-class parents are more likely than middle-class parents toe physical punishment for disciplineB.have children who finish collegeC.have children who are out of controlD.show less love to their children42.Middle-class parents will encourage their children to beA.self-confidentB.reliableC.curiousD.successful43.This passage is aboutA.the relation between social class of the parents and their children's rearingB.the similarities between working class and middle class parentsC.the differences between children of working class and the ones of middle classD.the relation between working class and middle class in their working places Passage ThreeFarm animals provide man with food and material for clothing,leather and other products.Some,such as horses and oxen,provide transportation and power to pull maehinery.Livestock gaze on about40percent of the United States land area. Cattle provide meat,hides and dairy products.Beef and dairy cattle account for about a third of all farm income in the U.S.Farms in the Midwest and sprawling ranches in the West raise most of the country's beef cattle.The main Dairy Belt in the U.S.extends through the Northern states from New England to Minnesota.Eastern dairy farmers in Minnesota,Wisconsin and Iowa sell most of their milk to companies that make butter,cheese and evaporated milk.Hogs grow rapidly and provide meat and materials used to make many products. Hogs thrive on corn,and farmers in the Corn Belt of the Midwest raise more than two-thirds of U.S.hogs.Sheep and goats supply man with meat,wool and skins for leather.They are hardy animals that live well on poor grazing land.Poultry includes chickens,ducks,geese,turkeys and other birds raised for meat or eggs.Many farmers keep small flocks of chickens to supply their families with eggsand meat.But some U.S.farmers specialize in raising large flocks of meat or egg-laying chickens.They use scientific breeding and feeding methods.Some specialized farms raise mink and other animals for their fur,rabbits for meat, or silkworms for silk.Many farmers keep bees to get their honey and to help pollinate crops.44.Farm animals in this passage are forA.farmingB.leather onlyC.natural balanceD.man's need45.Where is the Corn Belt located?A.Northeast.B.Midwest.C.South.D.West.nd which is too poor to sustain cattle might be used to raiseA.horsesB.oxenC.sheepD.dairy cows47.Which animals in this passage are bred by scientific methods?A.Poultry.B.Geese.C.Birds.D.Chickens.Passage FourThe crowd stirred and whispered in awe as,on the stage,the horse slowly tapped out the beat.Everyone became tense and quiet as the number of taps neared the correct answer to the horse trainer's question.After the final tap,the horse paused,seemed to lookaround and stopped.The crowd went wild!The horse's name was Clever Hans,the Educated Horse,and was featured in a vaudeville(杂耍)act in the early1900s,in Europe.When asked a complicated mathematical question by his owner,Clever Hans would tap out the correct answer with his hooves.For example,if the answer was sixty-eight,Hans would tap out six with his left hoof and eight with his right hoof.Even more remarkable,the owner would leave the room after asking the question,so there could be no secret signal between owner and horse.A mere animal seemed to be accomplishing a highly technical skill of man's!It wasn't until years later that the secret of the trick was revealed.The owner had trained Clever Hans to respond to slight signals.The horse became so sensitive that he learned when to stop from the crowd's reaction.Members of the audience would start involuntarily,or give some unconscious signal,when Hans reached the right answer. Modern scientists now warn against the Clever Hans syndrome(综合征),whereby researchers unconsciously give clues to their animal subjects about the actions they like to see performed!48.This passage is mainly aboutA.animal intelligenceB.mathematical skillsC.Clever HansD.unconscious behavior49.The Clever Hans syndrome is a danger to be avoided byA.audienceB.researchersC.veterinariansD.mathematicians50.The Clever Hans's real talent wasA.his sensitivity to crowd reactionB.adding large sumsC.standing quietly on stageD.obeying his owner51.The first paragraph of this passage isA.a first person accountB.a dramatic accountC.an understatementD.a scientific findingPassage FiveIt takes a long time to grow a tree.How long?Well,pine trees are the quickest growing trees,but still,they take twenty years to reach a size suitable for cutting and harvesting.An oak takes about sixty years to grow to a good size.A redwood may take hundreds of years.Lumber companies,which make their money on trees,depend on those that grow quickly.Therefore,they are always looking for methods to make trees grow faster. So far,the secret to fast growing trees seems to lie in"super-seeds."These are seeds that are gathered from the quickest growing trees in a forest.One company searched 100,000acres of trees and selected the seeds from just fifteen trees.These two ounces of seed were enough to plant several hundred new trees.Eventually,when these trees have grown,seeds will again be taken only from the fastest growing trees of crop.This process of artificial selection will yield,in the future,a super-tree that will grow in half the time it takes normal trees to develop.Unfortunately,it takes a long time for a plan like this to reach its goal.The Weyerhauser Lumber Corporation,which started its first collection of seed in1958,is just now beginning to harvest the super-seeds of the first generation of the faster growing trees.52.This selection centers onA.the life span of treesB.the age of redwoodsC.making trees grow quicklyD.cutting trees for lumber53.Trees that grow faster are developed byA.planting many trees and fertilizing themB.collecting seeds from strong,slow growing treesC.selecting the seeds of the fastest growing treesD.feeding them high-energy plant foods54.Super-treesA.will be a great benefit to lumber companiesB.make extra-good lumber for buildingsC.will probably be weak because of their fast growthD.may be defenseless to many insects and diseases55.The word"therefore"in paragraph2indicates that aA.speech is beginningB.conclusion followsparison is being madeD.metaphor is being usedV.Daily Conversation(15points)Directions:Pick out five appropriate expressions from the eight choices below and complete the following dialogue by blackening the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.A.I prefer the leather oneB.What do you likeC.It looks warmerD.clerkE.It sounds niceF.price tagG.to try it onH.Which one do you like betterAnne:Look!These jackets are nice.56?Sue:I like the wool one better.Anne:Really?Why?Sue:57Anne:Well,58.It's more attractive than the wool one.Sue:Hmm.There's no59Anne:Excuse me.How much is this jacket?Clerk:It's$499.Would you like60?Anne:Oh,no.That's OK!But thank you anyway.Clerk:You're welcome.Ⅵ.Writing(25points)Directions:For this part,you are supposed to write a notice in English in100-120 words based on the following situation.Remember to write it clearly.61．以行政管理部门(Administration Office)的名义写一份考试延期的通知。

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.Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:A lawyer friend of mine has devoted herself to the service of humanity. Her special area is called "public interest law".Many other lawyers represent only clients who can pay high fees. (76) All lawyers have had expensive and highly specialized training, and they work long, difficult hours for the money they earn. But what happens to people who need legal help and cannot afford to pay these lawyers' fees?Public interest lawyers fill this need. Lisa, like other public interest lawyers, earns a salary much below what some lawyers can earn. Because she is willing to take less money, her clients need the help, even if they can pay nothing at all. Some clients need legal help because stores have cheated them with faulty merchandise. Others are in unsafe apartments, or are threatened with eviction (驱逐，赶出 ) and have no place to go to.Their cases are called "civil" cases. Still others are accused of criminal acts, and seeking those public interest lawyers who handle "criminal" cases. (77)These are just a few of the many situa-tions in which men and women who are public interest lawyers serve to extend justice throughout our society.1. A person who needs and uses legal help is called a__________.A. lawyerB. clientC. tenantD. case worker2. Public interest lawyers serve__________.A. only stores and landlordsB. criminals onlyC. people who can pay high feesD. people who can pay little or nothing3. If only the rich could be helped by lawyers, the justice system would be__________.A. undemocraticB. fair and reasonableC. modernD. in need of no changes4. Public interest law includes__________.A. civil cases onlyB. criminal cases onlyC. criminal and civil casesD. wealthy clients' cases5. Which of the following is not a matter for civil case?A. A tenant is faced with eviction.B. A landlord refuses to fix a dangerous staircase.C. A burglar is arrested.D. A store sells a faulty radio.Passage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:No one knows how man learned to make words. Perhaps he began by making sounds like those made by animals. Perhaps he grunted like a pig when he lifted something heavy.(78)Per-haps he made sounds like those he heard all round him--water splashing, bees humming, a stone falling to the ground. Somehow he learned to make words. As the centuries went by, he made more and more new words. This is what we mean by language. People living in different countries made different kinds of words. Today there are about fif-teen hundred different languages in the world. Each contains many thousands of words. A very large English dictionary, for example, contains four or five hundred thousand words. But we do not need all these. Only a few thousand words are used in everyday life.The words you know are called your vocabulary. You should try to make your vocabulary big-ger. Read as many books as you can. There are plenty of books written in easy English for you toread. You will enjoy them. When you meet a new word, find it in your dictionary. Your dictiona-ry is your most useful book.6. From this passage, we know that__________.A. man never made soundsB. man made animal soundsC. man used to be like animals to make soundsD. man learned from the animals to make sounds7. The number of different languages spoken is about__________.A. 150B. 1,500C. 5,000D. 4,0008.

Choose the ONE that best fits into the passage(s).In Britain, a student who receives further full-time education after the age of eighteen, either at a university or at a teachers' training college or at some other college giving training of a 36 C type, can usually receive a grant from the public authorities to cover his expenses, or most of them, unless his parents have a large income. But the number of young people who can 37 A universities is limited by the capacity of the universities, which is 38 B than enough to take all the young people who have the basic qualifications for university admission. In practice, therefore, entry to the universities is competitive. But university degree courses are also 39 D at polytechnics, and entry to the Open University is less restricted.The academic year begins after the summer holidays andis divided into three "terms", with the 40 B between them formed by the Christmas and Easter holidays. The exact dates of the holidays vary from area to area, 41 A in general about two weeks at Christmas and Easter, plus often a week or more at Whitsun, and six weeks in the summer, beginning rather late. Schools outside the state system decide on their own holiday 42 B , generally taking a month off at Christmas andEaster and eight weeks in the summer. The three terms are not everywhere called by the same names; indeed 43D schools call the January-March period "the Spring Term", others use "Spring Term" for the period April-July. Some call the January term "Winter Term" (which is logical), others call it "Easter Term".Day-schools mostly work Monday to Friday only, from about 9 44 A to between 3 and 4 p.m. Lunch is provided and parents pay for it unless they prove to the authorities that they cannot well afford 45 C .

This feast is a time when the family comes together for a meal and gives thanks to God for the blessings they have received. The first thanksgivingfeast was celebrated by the early American settlers who started the feast to give thanks to God for their good harvest.In America thanksgiving is the family holiday. It is on that holiday that all the family members make a specialeffort to gather together . The feast is always held on Thursday and most people have a four-day holiday from school and work. Thus they are able to travel a great distance to be with their family.The thanksgiving meal is traditionally turkey which was a large bird valued as food for the first time. The table is filled with fruits, walnuts and many types of vegetables. For the sweet dish the main choice is usually pumpkin pie. The meal is a time for the members of the family to talk to each other. There will be talking before the meal, during the meal and long after the meal.On thanksgiving morning there are in many cities sporting events and parades to mark the day. The family dinner is usually held in the afternoon around 4p.m. . The mother will prepare the meal and the father will carve the turkey. He will be seated at the head of the table. The meal will begin with a short prayer of thanksgiving to God for the blessings the family received. The father will also thank the family for coming together on this day. During the meal thereis plenty of food for everyone present. The meal is a very joyful time. When the meal is finished some will help withthe dishes and others will return to the living room to talk or watch television.In many ways the feast of thanksgiving is similar to the Chinese feast of Mid-Autumn Festival. It is the time for the family to gather together to give thanks and to share in meal.46.

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfin-ished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D.You should de-cide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the.following passage:There was one thought that air pollution affected only the area immediately around large citieswith factories and heavy automobile traffic. At present, we realize that although these are the areas with the worst air pollution, the problem is literally worldwide. ( 76 ) On several occasions over the past decade, a heavy cloud of air pollution has covered the east of the United States and brought health warnings in rural areas away from any major concentration of manufacturing and automobile traffic. In fact, the very climate of the entire earth may be infected by air pollution. Some scien-tists consider that the increasing concentration of carbon dioxide in the air resulting from the burning of fossil fuels (coal and oil) is creating a "greenhouse effect"--conserving heat reflected from the earth and raising the world' s average temperature. If this view is correct and the world' s tempera- ture is raised only a few degrees, much of the polar ice cap will melt and cities such as New York,Boston, Miami, and New Orleans will be in water.(77) Another view, less widely held, is that increasing particular matter in theatmosphere is blocking sunlight and lowering the earth' s temperature--a result that would be equally disastrous.A drop of just a few degrees could create something close to a new ice age, and would make agri-culture difficult or impossible in many of our top fanning areas. Today we do not know for sure that either of these conditions will happen (though one recent government report drafted by experts in the field concluded that the greenhouse effect is very possible ). Perhaps, if we are lucky enough, the two tendencies will offset each other and the world' s temperature will stay about the same as it is now.1. As pointed out at the beginning of the passage, people used to think that air pollution__________.A. caused widespread damage in the countrysideB. affected the entire eastern half of the United StatesC. had damaging effect on healthD. existed merely in urban and industries areas2. As to the greenhouse effect, the author__________.A. shares the same view with the scientistsB. is uncertain of its occurrenceC. rejects it as bein~ ungroundedD. thinks that it will destroy the world soon3. The word "offset" in the second paragraph could be replaced by__________.A. slip intoB. make up forC. set upD. catch up with4. It can be concluded that__________.A. raising the world' s temperature only a few degrees would not do much harm to life on earthB. lowering the world' s temperature merely a few degrees would lead many major farming areas to disasterC. almost no temperature variations have occurred over the past decadeD. the world' s temperature will remain constant in the years to come5. This passage is primarily about__________.A. the greenhouse effectB. the burning of fossil fuelsC. the potential effect of air pollutionD. the likelihood of a new ice agePassage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage :Harriet Beecher Stowe had poured her heart into her anti-slavery book," Uncle Tom' s Cab-in". But neither she nor her first publisher thought it would be a big success.(78)The publisher was so doubtful that he wanted her to split the publishing costs with him, and all she hoped was that it would make enough money for her to buy a new silk dress.But when the first 5,000 copies were printed in 1852, they sold out in two days. In a year the book had sold 300,000 copies in the United States and 150,000 in England. For a while it outsold(销得比... 多) every book in the world, except the Bible. Within six months of its release, a play was made from the book which ran 350 performances in New York and remained America'. s most popular play for 80 years. ( 79 ) It might appear that" Uncle Tom' s Cabin" was universally popular, but this was certainly not true. Many people during those pre-Civil War days--particularly defenders of the slavery sys-tem-condemned it as false propaganda and poorly written melodrama(传奇剧作品).Harriet did have strong religious views against slavery ( When asked how she came to write the book, she replied," God wrote it. "), and she tried to convince people slavery was wrong, so per-haps the book could be considered propaganda. But if so, it was true propaganda, because it accu-rately described the evils of slavery. Though she was born in Connecticut, 1832, as a young woman she moved to Cincinnati, Ohio, when her father accepted the presidency of newly founded Lane Theological Seminary( 神学院). Ohio was a free state, but just across the Ohio River in Kentucky, Harriet saw slavery in ac-tion. She lived 18 years in Cincinnati, marrying Calvin Stowe, professor of a college. In 1851, Harriet Beecher Stowe began her book.Its vast influence strengthened the anti-slavery movement and angered defenders of the slave system. Today some historians(历史学家) think that it helped bring on the American Civil War.In fact, when Abraham Lincoln met Harriet at the White House during the Civil War, he said,"So, this is the little lady who started this big war. "6. Before the publication of the book "Uncle Tom' s Cabin"__________.A. Harriet knew that it would be a great successB. the publisher wanted Harriet to publish it at her own expenseC. nobody knew that it would become a very popular bookD. no publisher wanted to publish this anti-slavery book7. Some people did not like "Uncle Tom's Cabin" chiefly because__________.A. the author was merely an unknown little ladyB. they thought it was mere propagandaC. the book was poorly writtenD. the book might lead to a terrible war8. Han'iet Beecher Stowe was able to describe the evils of slavery because__________.A. she had lived for 18 years in a state where slavery was legalB. she had suffered quite a lot under the slavery systemC. she had witnessed what happened under the slavery systemD. she had read a lot about the slavery system9. When Abraham Lincoln called Harriet "the little lady who started this big war", he__________.A. thought that she was almost a war criminalB. was talking about the great influence her book had producedC. was blaming her for the miseries the people had suffered during the warD. was praising her for the contributions she had made during the war10. The writer wrote the passage in order to__________.A. expose the evils of the slavery systemB. condemn all kinds of warC. describe people' s life in Harriet' s timeD. tell us how Harriet wrote her famous bookPassage 3Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:"Equal pay for equal work" is a phrase used by the American women who feel that they are unfairly treated by society. They say it is not right for women to be paid less than men for the same work.Some people say men have more duties than women. A married man is thought to earn money to support his family and to make the important decision, so it is right for them to be paid more.Some are even against married women working at all. When wives go out to work, they say, the home and children are given no attention to. (80) If women are encouraged by equal pay to take full-time jobs, they will be unable to do the thing.s they are best at doing: makinga nice home and bringing up children.Women who disagree say they want to escape from the limited place which society wishes them to fill and to have freedom to choose between work and home life, or a mixture of the two.Women have the right not only to equal pay but also to equal chances.11. The women use the phrase "equal pay for equal work" to ask society to__________.A. pay men less than womenB. give women harder workC. pay men and women the same amount of money for the same workD. pay people more who do harder work12. Some people believe that__________.A. women can' t do what men canB. men have to work much harder than womenC. men can earn money more easily than womenD. men' s duties are different from women' s13. Some people holding even stronger opinions say that__________.A. women should be kind to their husbandsB. women are too weak to take full-time jobsC. home is the best pace for womenD. women should only take part-time jobs14. The women who disagree say that__________.A. women need chances to go out of the home more oftenB. women want more freedom in deciding what kind of life they wantC. women are no longer interested in taking care of their homesD. if women are given equal pay, they can do everything instead of men15. According to this passage some women want to give up __________.A. their present position in societyB. their marriageC. their right to equal payD. their home lifePart ⅡVocabulary and Structure (30%)Directions: In this part there are 30 incomplete sentences.For each sentence there are four choices marked A,B, C and D.
