Because with the water’s tow, they’dthey couldn’t. Because with the water’s tow, they’d never get to the drowning boy. 3 Because nobody except Jason saw that going out onto the jetty, which was close to the boy, was the fastest way to reach the drowning boy. 4 Because his fear of water suddenly struck him. 5 He felt like he was back in that pool, breathless, struggling, terrified. 6 The boy popped back up, eyes wide with terror, pawing and twisting against Jason. 7 No, it wasn’t. At first when Jason swam against the rip current, it was for cibly dragging them out to the sea. Then he decided to swim sideways to the pull of the current and slowly made their way back to shore. Finally he made his way back to safety. 8 8 Because Because Because Jason Jason Jason had had had already already already conquered conquered conquered his his his inner inner inner fear fear fear of of of water water water and and and he he he also also also felt felt felt relieved relieved relieved and and delighted when he saw the boy was hugged tightly by his mother. Critical thinking 2 1 To overcome the inner fear of water, we need to: • conquer ourselves with courage by helping others, step up and face our fear; • practice controlled breathing and alternately tense and relax muscle groups to bring into physical awareness the differences between being tense and being relaxed; • make the victim stop struggling. In this way he / she can be pulled to safety. 2 The fears may come from: • our own past experience; • ther people’s fears we witness;• someone’s description about their fears;• influence of specific cultural and historical context. 3 To get a guy to ask a girl out, try giving him some pointers and ideas on how to approach the situation with confidence: • Tell the guy to ask a girl on a casual date and see where it goes from there. Explain to him that asking a girl out face-to-face can be most appropriate, as it will show her how serious he is. However, if he thinks that is too daring, then suggest sending her a text message or calling her on the phone. • encourage the guy to be assertive and not beat around the bush. Confidence is admirable, and a girl is more likely to be attracted to a man with confidence. If he is asking the girl in person, he should speak as though he knew she would say yes. Tell him not to hesitate and to get straight to the point. • suggest that the guy give the girl some choices as to where to go on a date. If he is unsure of what activities or restaurants she enjoys most, this is a great opportunity for him to learn more about her and show her that he cares about her. 4 Obsessive fear leads to anxiety, panic attacks and a variety of psychological problems. We all know what it’s like to feel overwhelmed by fea r, but fear, as it turns out, is a fundamental part of our lives, and has some positive effects on our lives: • Fear increases and enhances our sensory awareness of the environment, so that we can be prepared to protect ourselves from anything potentially threatening or harmful. • Fear is an invitation to act. Fear is there to warn us that we need to get ready for the future. It isn’t there to stop us; it’s there to tell us that we are about to grow.• Fear pushes us beyond our limits. Fear motivates us. It drives us to find new resources and options within ourselves. Fear compels us to make extra efforts to succeed and achieve what we desire. • Fear Fear is is is necessary necessary necessary in in in developing developing developing our our our courage. courage. courage. We We We can’t can’t can’t experience experience experience courage courage courage without without without the the presence of fear. They go hand in hand. They need one another in order to exist – like darkness and light, or black and white.

She is recalling old times as she waits for her family's arrival. The nursing home has been Melinda's new settlement ever since Thomas passed away a week ago. Thomas had fought a long and hard battle against lung cancer for three years. Unfortunately, he has broken the promise that he and Melinda had made: to be with each other for every birthday. Melinda knew this was unrealistic but agreed to the promise for Thomas’s sake.“Thomas, you are completely a dreamer!” Melinda shouted to Thomas as he dragged on about living on an island with his beautiful wife. That s what she loved about him most—he had a vivid imagination. They got married at age eighteen and began having children right away. Mary came within the year，followed by Thomas Benjamin II, Lilly-Ann, and Joseph “Little Joey' George. The family lived an exultant life filled with laughter and love.“Mom!” Lilly shouted, but it really sounded like a howl. Melinda had lost herself in thinking about the life she had shared with her late husband. Lilly pushed her down the long dark halls of the nursing home until they arrived at the recreational room.When the doors opened, Melinda put her hand over her mouth and was completely speechless. The room was crowded with the people nearest and dearest to her and the warmth and love was felt instantly. The night went on; stories and cocktails were shared and everything was perfect. However, when Melinda caught a moment to herself she looked around at her family. With a smile on her face, she raised her Manhattan and called out for a toast. “This one is for you, Thomas，though you are not here.”36. Why did Thomas break his promise?A. He was busy with his work.B.He died of lung cancer.C. He had to serve in the army.D.He stopped loving Melinda.37. Which of the following best explains “exultant” underlined in Paragraph 2?A. Peaceful.B. Simple.C. Stressful.D. Happy.38. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. Melinda，children forgot their father.B. Melinda was tired of noise.C. Melinda missed her husband badly.D. Melinda liked to drink alcohol,39. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. A Particular BirthdayB. A Woman at a Nursing HomeC. Memories of Old DaysD. A Big Surprise for MelindaPassage BSpotify can tell if you’re sad. Here’s why that should scare you. Want to figure out if someone is a patient with a mental disability? Ask them what their favorite song is. A New York University study last year found that people who loved Eminem's Lose Yourself and Justin Bieber's What Do You Mean? were more likely to have trouble with mental disabilities than people who were into Dire Straits.Over the past few years，Spotify has been improving the ability to analyze information to help businessmen target consumers with advertisements made specially for their needs. They conclude this from the sort of music you’re listening to, combined with where and when you’re listening to it, along with third-party data that might be available.Now, to be clear, there’s nothing significantly illegal about what Spotify is doing with your information. I certainly don't think that they are working with shadowy consulting firms to serve you ads selling a culture struggle while you're listening to music that suggests you might be in a terrible situation. However, I find it disappointing that our personal, private moments with music are increasingly being turned into information points and offered to advertisers.You can see where this could go，can’t you? As ad targeting gets ever more accurate, businessmen will have the ability to target our feelings in potentially improper ways. According to one study, you are more likely to spend more on a product if you’re feeling sad. You can imagine some companies might take advantage of that. And on that note，I’m feeling a littledown about all this. Head off to treat myself to something expensive.40. What's the purpose of the first paragraph?A. To introduce a new song.B. To draw readers’ attention.C. To help more patients.D. To promote a new medium.41. Spotify improves its ability to analyze information to______.A. provide services for the governmentB. work with shadowy consulting firmsC. get listeners' personal informationD. help businessmen attract consumers42. What s the author’s attitude towards Spotify?A. Uncertain.B. Supportive.C. Positive.D.Dissatisfied.43. Who is the text probably designed for?A. Internet users.B. Officials.C. Researchers.D.Managers.Passage CAn exciting landing process of Chang'e-4 lunar probe (月球探测器）was seen through the monitor at Beijing Aerospace Control Center in Beijing，Jan. 3, 2019. It touched down on the far side of the moon at 10:26 a.m. Beijing Time, becoming the first spacecraft soft-landing on the moon’s unknown side never visible from Earth.China’s Chang'e-4 probe has started the exploration on the far side of the moon thanks to the relay satellite that provides a communication link with ground control. The relay satellite, named Queqiao, meaning Magpie Bridge, after a Chinese legend, was launched on May 21,2018，and became the first communication satellite operating in the halo orbit, nearly 500,000 km from the earth. It can also provide communication for probes from other countries. The relay satellite will also be used for scientific and technological experiments. The maximum distance between the satellite and the Chang'e-4 probe on the far side of the moon is 79,000 km. The satellite processes data from the probe and sends it to Earth.The satellite can stay in its orbit for a long time due to its relatively low fuel consumption, as the earth’s and moon's gravity balances its orbital moving. While in orbit, it can “see” both the earth and the far side of the moon.The concept of using a relay satellite in the halo orbit was first put forward by U.S. space expertsin the 1960s, but was realized by Chinese space engineers.Researchers hope to use the cameras on the satellite to record asteroids (小行星）hitting the far side of the moon. To control the cost of the Chang'c-4 probe, the relay satellite was designed to be relatively small, weighing about 400 kg.Researchers had just 30 months to develop the satellite, putting them under high pressure. To promote public interest in space exploration, the China National Space Administration invited people to write down their wishes for lunar and space exploration, and the relay satellite carries the names of tens of thousands of participants and their messages.44. What do we learn from the second paragraph?A. The relay satellite was launched on Jan. 3, 2019.B.Chang'e-4 probe was the first communication satellite.C. The relay satellite only explores the far side of the moon.D. The relay satellite can handle data from Chang'e-4 probe.45. Why was the size of the relay satellite relatively small?A. To reduce the cost as much as possible.B. To make it circle Moon for a longer time.C. To avoid being crashed by other satellites.D. To follow American space experts，advice.46. What made researchers suffer from great stress?A. Few people interested in the exploration on the moon.B. The relay satellite carrying too much equipment.C. Their lacking enough time to develop the relay satellite.D. People’s never being optimistic about the relay satellite47. What is the main idea of the text?A. China is a new space power after the USA.B.Change-4 probe lands on Moon’s far side.C. Chinese space engineers make much progress.D. Space exploration is a dangerous challenge.Passage DLast year marked the 100th anniversary of the end of World War I. There were events around theworld in memory of those who died in the conflict. We have picked out three of them in European countries. Let's take a look.BelgiumIn a park, the famous Belgian artist Koen Vanmechelen had an exhibition called Coming World, Remember Me. The work consisted of 600,000 individual(单独的）clay sculptures, one for exhibition was a big egg made of clay each person killed during the World War. In the center of the exhibition was a big egg made of clay, symbolizing a new world.UKIn a small town called Aldridge. almost 100 houses in one street were covered with 24,000poppies and statues of sold.They stood for the men from the area who had been killed in the war. The flowers were chosen because of a poem written by the Canadian doctor John McCrea in1915. They made people think of fields of blood.FranceThe British artist Guy Denning arrived in La Feuille，a small town in the northwest of France, to stick life-size drawings of soldiers who never came back home. Armed with glue and a brush, Denning stuck his drawings carefully on walls. Before long 112 men, ma.nly young adults, were brought back to mind, if not to life.48. What do we know about Coming World. Remember Me?A. It's the name of an exhibition.B. It's a film about World War I.C. It's a work standing for peace.D. It's a sculpture made of clay.49. Why were poppies chosen to symbolize the dead soldiers?A. The British people preferred them.B. They showed the cruelty of war.C. A Canadian doctor suggested them.D. The fields were filled with them.50. How was the end of World War I marked in France?A. A memorial to the dead soldiers was built.B. 112 wounded soldiers in the war were helped.C. Drawings of some dead soldiers were put up.D. Young adults were encouraged to join the army.Part IV Skimming and Scanning (10%)Technology in education: Current trendsA)Computers and Internet connections are becoming widely available in schools and classrooms. In 1999, 99 percent of teachers in the United States had access to a computer in their schools, and 84 percent had one or more computers in their classrooms. At the same time, Internet connections were also widespread, with 95 percent of schools and 63 percent of classrooms having access. Worldwide, many countries are making the creation and diffusion of information and communications technology (ICT) an important priority.The use of technology to find educational resourcesB) In the past, teachers attempting a problem-based curriculum felt the need to limit problems to those for which they had expertise or the local library had resources. Now the World Wide Web brings a seemingly endless amount of information on almost any subject, and it is possible for students to choose topics based on personal interest rather than availability of resources.C) Internet research projects are gaining popularity. In the spring of 1998, 30 percent of teachers surveyed (and 70 percent of those with high-speed Internet connections) reported they had assigned Internet research tasks to their students during the school year. Use of the Internet to gather information for solving problems sometimes resembles a modern version of library research, in which students gather and synthesize information from published reports. Despite the fact that the task seems traditional, the characteristics of this new medium require special skills for students. The sheer volume of information allows students to study almost any topic, but also makes it more difficult to locate precisely the right information from among the thousands, or even millions, of sites. In addition, the ease of publishing materials on the Internet increases the likelihood that students will encounter inaccurate or biased information. As a result, students must learn new strategies for conducting searches and evaluating the information thatthey retrieve.D) Students carrying out scientific investigations can use the Internet to make observations and collect data. For example, the fourth and fifth graders in California collected insects and sent them to San Diego State University. Using two-way audio and video connecting the school and the university, scientists guided the students in using an electron microscope to examine their specimens. Technology has made it possible to collect data from places students could never visit. In recent projects, high school students explored the floor of the Monterey Bay by studying the video from remotely operated robots, and middle school students were given time to use the Hubble telescope. Students also use technology to collect data in their schools and communities. For example, using handheld computers outfitted with various types of probes （探测仪），students can monitor the water quality at various locations in nearby streams or lakes. By transmitting their individual readings to a laptop computer in a field laboratory they can quickly graph their data and visually compare readings.The use of technology to summarize and present findingsE) In the past, students memorized and used formulas and models created by others to solve problems. Students often used these formulas, especially in the early stages of learning, with little understanding. In the early 21st century computer tools provide the opportunity for students to construct and test their own models using tools such as spreadsheets （电子制表软件）or concept maps （概念图）. This type of instruction deepens students' understanding of abstract concepts and allows these concepts to be taught at an earlier age.F) Once students have summarized their data and other information, they typically communicate their findings to others. Writing reports is still the most widespread use of ICT, with 61 percent of US teachers assigning students word-processing tasks. In addition to text, students also use computer-created graphics, videos, and animations to communicate their ideas.G) The teacher is not the only audience for students' presentations. Students frequently expect to present their work to and receive feedback from their peers and the world outside their classroom. Whether they are using presentation software to accompany a face-to也cepresentation or developing materials to put on the Web, the trend is for students to be able to communicate their work to a broad audience. This increases students' perception that problem-based learning is real work for real audiences.The use of technology for collaboration and distance educationH) There are many opportunities for individual students to use technology to enhance their learning. These include online courses that provide students in remote locations with opportunities for customized curriculum and advanced placement courses （先修课程）. These courses are conducted entirely online and offer asynchronous （异步的）interaction among faculty and students. Because they allow students to participate anytime and from anywhere, online courses are becoming increasingly popular among postsecondary （高等教育）students whose job and personal commitments do not allow them to meet a regular class schedule.I) Opportunities for interaction with peers from other countries can also contribute to knowledge and understanding of other cultures. ICT makes this type of communication possible for anyone with Internet access. For example, the Kidlink project encourages students up to age 15 to use the Internet to build a global network of friends. Kidlink participants discuss issues ranging from how to make and keep friends to war and peace.J) Monitoring students' independent learning in these flexible environments will be supported by sophisticated new assessment technologies that will help teachers collect and analyze students' data and make instructional decisions. These tools will continually assess students' work and provide feedback to them and their teachers. Such assessment has the potential to make time-consuming standardized testing unnecessary and to personalize the curriculum for every student. Ubiquitous，well-integrated technology tools will bring educators closer to redefine the educational enterprise and provide customized, just-in-time solutions for the learning needs of students.____1 Students find it more difficult to locate the right information from among a large number of websites.____2 Teachers will use sophisticated new technologies to assess students' learning in flexible environments and make instructional decisions.____3 Collecting information from the Internet is similar to that in the library as students obtain published reports and process the information in both cases.____4 While teachers had to limit problems to those with resources in the process of teaching in the past, students nowadays can make their own interest-based choices because of a large amount of information available on many subjects.____5 Students of higher education prefer online courses to those given at fixed time and in fixed places due to their other businesses.____6 The Kidlink project encourages students up to 15 to make foreign friends and have discussions about a wide range of issues on the Internet.____7 Many countries around the world prioritize the creation and spread of ICT.____8 By means of two-way audio and video, scientists in San Diego State University instructed the fourth- and fifth-grade students in California to observe specimens with electronic devices. ____9 Face-to-face presentations accompanied by software indicate the trend that students can communicate their work with more people.____10 Because of computer tools, abstract concepts can be better understood by students and be taught at an earlier age.Part V Translation (10%)1. 孔子的许多思想，尤其是教育思想，对中国社会产生了深远的影响。

Both the eye and thecamera have a lens, and both produce a picture on a screen. In each case the picture is made up of millions of spots of light.Let us see how the eye works. When we look at an object — a person, a house, or whatever it may be — we do not see all the details of the object in one piece. We imagine that we do, but this is not the case. In fact, the eye builds up the picture for us in our brain, which controls our sight, in millions of separate parts, and, although we do not realize it, all these details are seen separately.This is what happens when we look at something. Beams of light of different degrees of intensity, reflected from all parts of the objects, strike the lens of the eye. The lens then gathers together the spots of light from these beams and focuses them on to a light-sensitive plate — the retina — at the back of the eyeball. In this way an image of the object is produced on the retina in the form of a pattern of lights.The retina contains millions of minute light-sensitive elements, each of which is separately connected to the brain by a tiny fiber in the optic nerve. These nerve fibers, working independently, pick out minute details from the image on the retina and turn the small spots of light into nerve impulses of different strengths. They then transmit these impulses to the brain. They do this all at the same time.All the details of the image are fed to the brain, and, as we taught our brain to add them together correctly, we see a clear picture of the object as a whole.Television, which means vision at a distance, operates on a similar principle. A television picture is built up in thousands of separate parts.Beams of light reflected from the subject being televised strike the lens of the television camera, which corresponds to the lens of the eye. The camera lens gathers together the spots of light from these beams and focuses an image of the subject on to a place, the surface of which is coated with millions of photo-electric elements sensitive to light.The spots of light forming the image on the plate cannot be transmitted as light. So they are temporarily converted by an electronic device into millions of electrical impulses; that is, into charges of electricity.These electrical impulses are then sent through space on a wireless wave to the homes of the viewers. They are picked up by the aerials and conveyed to theIII. Reading Comprehension （30%）receivers — to the television sets. There, they are finally converted back into the spots of light that make up the picture on the television screen.41. In the first paragraph we are told that the television camera resembles thehuman eye in ________________.A. one wayB. two waysC. three waysD. a large number of ways42. The retina is _______________.A. a lensB. a beam of lightC. a part of the brainD. a light-sensitive plate43. The nerve fibers connecting these light-sensitive elements to the brain________________.A. all work togetherB. help each otherC. work independentlyD. work in small groups44. A camera lens focuses an image on to _______________.A. the subjectB. a surface made up of millions of light-sensitive elementsC. a television setD. millions of photo-electric beams of light45. The spots of light forming the image on the plate in a television camera areconverted into _____________.A. electricityB. picturesC. an electronic deviceD. a wirelessPassage twoAt sixteen Ron Mackie might have stayed at school, but the future called to him excitedly. “Get out of the classroom into a job,” it said, and Ron obeyed. His father, supporting the decision, found a place for him in a supermarket. “You’re lucky, Ron,”he said. “For every boy with a job these days, there’s a dozen with-out.” So Ron joined the working world at twenty pounds a week.For a year he spent his days filling shelves with tins of food. By the end of that time he was looking back on his school-days as a time of great variety and satisfaction. He searched for an interest in his work, with little success.One fine day instead of going to work Ron got a lift on a lorry going south. With nine pounds in his pocket, a full heart and a great longing for the sea, he set out to make a better way for himself. That evening, in Bournemouth, he had a sandwich and a drink in a café run by an elderly man and his wife. Before he had finished his sandwich, the woman had taken him for the rest of the summer, at twenty pounds a week, a room upstairs and three meals a day. The ease and speed of it rather took Ron’s breath away. At quite times, Ron had to check the old man’s arithmetic in the records of business.At the end of the season, he stayed on the coast. He was again surprised how straightforward it was for a boy of seventeen to make a living. He worked in shops mostly, but once he took a job in a hotel for three weeks. Late in October he was taken on by the sick manager of a shoe shop. Ron soon found himself in charge there; he was the only one who could keep the books.46. Why did Ron Mackie leave school at sixteen?A. His father made him leave.B. He had reached the age when he had to leave.C. He left because he was worried about the future.D. He left because he wanted to start work.47. What did Ron’s father think about his leaving school?A. He thought his son was doing the right thing.B. He advised him to stay at school to complete his education.C. He did not like the idea, but he helped Ron to find work.D. He knew there was a job for every boy who wanted one.48. It took about a year for Ron to realize that _____________.A. he worked well because he was interested in the job.B. his work at the supermarket was dull.C. being at work was much better than going to school.D. the stone manager wanted to get rid of him.49. Why did Ron leave the supermarket?A. He knew he would find work in Bournemouth.B. he took a job as a lorry driver.C. he gave up the job because he felt unwell.D. he wanted to work at the seaside.50. Ron was able to take over the shoe shop because _____________.A. he got on well with the manager there.B. he knew how to keep the accounts of the business.C. he had had experience of selling books.D. he was young and strong.Passage threeA strict vegetarian is a person who never in his life eats anything derived from animals. The main objection to vegetarianism（素食主义）on a long-term basis is the difficulty of getting enough protein—the body-building element in food. If you have ever been without meat or other animal foods for some days of weeks (say, for religious reasons) you will have notice that you tend to get physically rather weak. You are glad when the fast（禁食）is over and you get your reward of a delicious meat meal.Proteins are built up from about twenty food elements called “amino-acid” (氨基酸), which are found more abundantly in animal protein than in vegetable protein. This means you have to eat a great deal more vegetable than animal food in order to get enough of these amino-acids. A great deal of the vegetable food goes to waste in this process and from the physiological（生理学的）point of view there is not much to be said in favor of life-long vegetarianism.The economic side of the question, though, must be considered. Vegetable food is much cheaper than animal food. However, since only a small proportion of the vegetable protein is useful for body-building purposes, a consistent vegetarian, if he is to gain the necessary 70 grams (克) of protein a day, has to consume a great bulk of food than his digestive organs can comfortably deal with. In fairness, though, it must be pointed out that vegetarians claim they need far less than 70 grams of protein a day.51. A strict vegetarian _________________.A. rarely eats animal productsB. sometimes eats eggsC. never eats any animal productsD. never eats protein52. We feel weak when we go without meat and other animal products_________________.A. because we are reducing our food amountB. because we do not get enough proteinC. because vegetables do not contain proteinD. unless we take plenty of exercise53. Proteins are built up from _________________.A. about twenty different foodsB. about twenty different vegetablesC. various fats and sugarsD. about twenty different amino-acids54. Physiologically, life-long vegetarianism may not be good because_________________.A. it makes people very thinB. the body must process too much wasteC. the farmer lose moneyD. vitamin-deficiency diseases may result55. One thing in favor of vegetarianism is that __________________.A. vegetable food is easier to digestB. animal food is less expensiveC. vegetable food is cheaperD. it is good for the digestionPassage fourWe lost two superstars in 1977. Neither man’s admirers have been able to understand the success of the other one. And this tells us something of the difference between the generations that the two singers represent.There were similarities between Bing Crosby and Elvis Presley. Both reached fame while quite young and became very rich. Although neither one had any musical education, both developed their own musical styles — styles which were at first scorned by the critics and later studied as new forms in the art of popular song. Both men had successful movie careers despite a total lack of acting ability.Both were creations of the microphone, which made it possible for singers with weak voices to be heard beyond the third row. With Bing the microphone was usually hidden; but Elvis brought it to the stage, took it from its support, stroked it, pressed it to his lips.The difference between the two men reflects the changing values in American life. Crosby’s music was soothing; Presley’s was disturbing. Crosby was singing to wartime America. His audiences had all the disturbances they could handle in their private lives; they did not want to buy more at the record shop and the movie theater.Crosby’s admirers always said how “relaxed” he was, how “natural and easygoing.” When Presley began his career, the whole country had become relaxed and easygoing. Its young people, who had no memory of troubled times, found it boring. They were hungry for excitement. They welcomed Elvis, who was not soothing, and who was certainly not the kind of young man their parents would admire. Presley was loud, gaudy, and vulgar— and he was bringing something new and exciting.It is probably too simple to explain each man in terms of changes in the economic and political situation. Something in the culture was also changing. Crosby’s songs were saying something; their “message” was as important to the audience as the music. The words were often sweet and sentimental; ordinary, perhaps, but Crosby — and Frank Sinatra after him — gave them life and meaning. People remembered them, sang them, and thought of them as true to life. Although many of Presley’s songs were, in fact, quite sentimental too, it was mostly the song that moved the audiences. Rock’n’roll was a “sound” event. Songs stopped being songs and turned into noise.The Crosby generation has trouble with r ock’n’roll because it makes the mistake of trying to understand the words. The Presley generation has trouble with Crosby because it finds the music unexciting and the words empty. The mutuallack of understanding may be a sign of how far we have come from troubled times, and how deeply we now distrust the value of words.56. Crosby and Presley’s music was ___________________.A. criticized and then recognized as innovativeB. appreciated by the critics immediatelyC. praised by the critics and then studiedD. developed by the critics57. The difference between the two men ______________ the changing values inAmerican life.A. ruinsB. disturbsC. soothesD. mirrors58. Presley’s admirers found Crosby’s work _________________.A. boringB. easy-goingC. too relaxedD. natural59. “Rock’n’roll was a ‘sound’event” means r ock’n’roll was ____________.A. musicalB. movingC. noisyD. sentimental60.

新视野试卷三级试卷及答案
Text 1Some pessimistic experts feel that the automobile is bound to fall into disuse. They see a dayin the not-too-distant future when all autos will be abandoned. Other authorities, however, think the auto is here to stay. They hold that the car will remain a leading means of urbantravel in the foreseeable future.The motorcar will undoubtedly change significantly over the next 30 years. It should becomesmaller, safer, and more economical, and should not be powered by the gasoline engine. Thecar of the future should be far more pollution-free than present types.Regardless of its power source, the auto in the future will still be the main problem in urbantraffic congestion（拥挤）. One proposed solution to this problem is the automated highwaysystem.When the auto enters the highway system, retractable（可伸缩的）arm will drop from the autoand make contact with a rail, which is similar to those powering subway trains electrically.Once attached to the rail, the car will become electrically powered from the system, andcontrol of the vehicle will pass to a central computer. The computer will then monitor all of thecar's movements.The driver will use a telephone to dial instructions about his destination into the system. Thecomputer will calculate the best route, and reserve space for the car all the way to the correctexit from the highway. The driver will then be free to relax and wait for the buzzer（蜂鸣器）that will warn him of his coming exit. It is estimated that an automated highway will be ableto handle 10,000 vehicles per hour, compared with the 1,500 to 2,000 vehicles that can becarried by a present-day highway. (285 words)21. One significant improvement in the future car will probably be ________.A) its power source B) its driving systemC) its monitoring system D) its seating capacity22. What is the author's main concern?A) How to render automobiles pollution-free.B) How to make smaller and safer automobiles.C) How to solve the problem of traffic jams.D) How to develop an automated subway system.23. What provides autos with electric power in an automated highway system?A) A rail. B) An engine.C) A retractable arm. D) A computer controller.24. In an automated highway system, all the driver needs to do is ________.A) keep in the right laneB) wait to arrive at his destinationC) keep in constant touch with the computer centerD) inform the system of his destination by phone25. What is the author's attitude toward the future of autos?A) Enthusiastic. B) Pessimistic. C) Optimistic. D) Cautious.Text 2What should you think about in trying to find your career? You are probably better at someschool subjects than others. These may show strengths that you can use in your work. A boywho is good at mathematics can use that in an engineering career. So it is important to know the subjects you do well in at school. On the other hand, you may not have any speciallystrong or weak subjects but your records show a general satisfactory standard. Although notall subjects can be used directly in a job, they may have indirect value. A knowledge of historyis not required for most jobs but if history is one of your good subjects you will have learnedto remember facts and details. This is an ability that can be useful in many jobs.If you have had a part-time job on Saturdays or in the summer, think what you gained from it. If nothing else, you may have learned how to get to work on time, to follow instructionsand to get on with older workers. You may have learned to give correct change in a shop, forexample. Just as important, you may become interested in a particular industry or career yousee from the inside in a part-time job.Facing your weak points is also part of knowing yourself. You may be all thumbs when youhandle tools; perhaps you are a poor speller or cannot add up a column of figures. It is bitterto face any weaknesses than to pretend they do not exist. Your school record, for instance,may not be too good, yet it is an important part of your background. You should not beapologetic about it but instead recognize that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work.(303 words)26. Which of the following best sums up the first paragraph?A) The importance of doing well at school.B) Using school performance to help to choose a career.C) The importance of being good at all subjects.D) The indirect value of schoolwork.27. The writer thinks that for a student to have a part-time job is probably ______.A) a waste of time that could have been spent on studyB) useful for his future workC) a good way to earn extra moneyD) a good way to find out his weak points28. According to the passage, if a student's school record is not good, he ______.A) will be a complete failure in his future workB) will not be able to find a suitable jobC) will regret not having worked harder at schoolD) may do well in his future work29. Which subject is supposed to have no direct value for jot hunting?A) Mathematics. B) English. C) Technical Drawing. D) History.30. The whole passage centers on ______.A) choosing a career according to what one is skilled inB) acquiring knowledge by working hard at schoolC) finding one's strong and weak pointsD) developing one's abilities useful in school workText 3As a Canadian bilingual (双语的) teacher, I agree that the Canadian bilingual schools havebeen successful in producing functionally bilingual students. However, Mr. Whelpton's suggested condition that teachers in these schools must be fully bilingual may be unnecessary. For example, primary teachers can and do function with a smaller vocabularythan secondary teachers.Secondly, it is doubtful that students will use English because they "understand and acceptthe objective of making English the language of the classroom" which is a rather sterile motive. One reason that Canadian bilingual programs work is because of the commitment toWhole Language Learning, that is, children learn a language, (first or second), by using it totransmit (播送) or receive meaningful messages that are interesting, real and important. Theywant to make their needs and desires known and to understand the world around them.Bilingual programs integrate language and content in an activity-based, child-centred manner so that the child is motivated to use the second language as a tool to transmit andreceive messages related to social and academic interests.Mr. Whelpton's third argument that all the students in one class need to be at approximatelythe same level of English proficiency (熟练) when they switch to English is unrealistic and unprofitable. How does a teacher group children who have a huge vocabulary but poor grammar skills and others who have correct grammar but a poor vocabulary? Also, supposethe students have similar language abilities but different learning styles! Hence the conceptof co-operative learning: students with a mixture of personalities, talents and weaknesses (amore realistic reflection of life) learn better as they co-operate (合作), instead of compete,and depend on each other for support and information. (280 words)31. How would you describe the writer's style?A) The passage is written in an academic style.B) The passage is written in a journalistic style.C) The passage is written in a personal style.D) The passage is written on the basis of widespread research in the areA)32. How would you describe the writer's attitude towards the Canadian bilingual programmes?A) Balanced. B) Unenthusiastic. C) Supportive. D) Critical.33. In paragraph 1 the writer ________.A) agrees completely with Mr. Whelpton's argumentB) agrees partially with Mr. Whelpton's argumentC) disagrees completely with Mr. Whelpton's argumentD) is overwhelmingly critical of Mr. Whelpton's argument34. In paragraph 2 "sterile" is closest in meaning to________.A) uninformative B) unusual C) stereotypical D) uninspiring35. According to the writer the Canadian bilingual programs have been a success ________.A) because students accept the objective of making English the language of the classroomB) because students study in classrooms where everybody is at about the same levelC) because the students can use their first language freelyD) because they work towards real life goalsText 4If sustainable competitive advantage depends on workforce skills, American firms have a problem. Human-resource management is not traditionally seen as central to the competitivesurvival of the firm in the United States. Skill acquisition is considered an individual responsibility. Labor is simply another factor of production to be hired rented at the lowestpossible cost much as one buys raw materials or equipment.The lack of importance attached to human-resource management can be seen in the corporate hierarchy. In an American firm the chief financial officer is almost always second incommand. The post of head of human-resource management is usually a specialized job, offat the edge of the corporate hierarchy. The executive who holds it is never consulted on majorstrategic decisions and has no chance to move up to Chief Executive Officer (CEO). By way ofcontrast, in Japan the head of human resource management is central usually the secondmost important, after the CEO, in the firm's hierarchy.While American firms often have the vast amounts spent on training their work forces, in fact,they invest less in the skills of their employees than do either Japanese or German firms. Themoney they do invest is also more highly concentrated on professional and managerial employees. And the limited investments that are made in training workers are also muchmore narrowly focused on the specific skills necessary to do the next job rather than on thebasic background skills that make it possible to absorb new technologies.As a result, problems emerge when new breakthrough technologies arrive. If American workers, for example, take much longer to learn how to operate new flexible manufacturingstations than workers in Germany (as they do).the effective cost of those stations is lower inGermany than it is in the United States. More time is required before equipment is up andrunning at capacity, and the need for extensive retraining generates costs and creates bottlenecks that limit the speed with which new equipment can be employed. The result is aslower pace of technological change. And in the end the skills of the bottom half of the population affect the wages of the top half. If the bottom half can't effectively staff the processes that have to be operated, the management and professional jobs that go withthese processes will disappear.36. Which of the following applies to the management of human resources in American companies?A) They hire people at the lowest cost regardless of their skills.ss.B) They see the gaining of skills as their employees’ own busineC) They attach more importance to workers than to equipment.D) They only hired skilled workers because of keen competition.37. What is the position of the head of human resource management?A) He is one of the most important executives in the firm.B) His post is likely to disappear when new technologies are introduced.C) He is directly under the chief financial executive.D) He has no say in making important decisions in the firm.38. The money most American firms put in training mainly goes to________.A) workers who can operate new equipmentB) technological and managerial staffC) workers who lack basic ground skillsD) top executives39. What's the main idea of the passage?A) American firms are different from Japanese and German firms in human-resource management.B) Extensive retraining is indispensable to effective human resource management.C) The head of human resource management must be in the central position in a firm's hierarchy.D) The human resource management strategies of American firms will affect their competitive capacity.40. According to the passage, the decisive factor in maintaining a firm's competitive advantage is ___________.A) the introduction of new technologiesB) the improvement of workers' skillsC) the rational composition of professional and managerial employeesD) the attachment of importance to the bottom half of the employeesIII.

Reading Comprehension (30%)Directions:Read the following passages carefully and do the multiple-choice questions.Passage 1Surfing the Internet can be as addictive as drugs, alcohol or gambling, a researcher from University of Pittsburgh said last month.In a study of almost 400 men and women in Canada, researchers found Internet addiction hooked people into spending 40 hours or more a week online, most often involved in role-playing games or engaged in chat room discussions.One-17-year-old boy was so addicted(上瘾)to the Internet activities that his parents had to admit him to a drug\alcohol rehabilitation（康复）hospital for 10 days for treatment.One woman, described by friends, family and children as a perfect homemaker, wife and mother, became so addicted to the Internet that she would not cook, clean or do the laundry（洗熨衣物）and was neglecting her children and husband because she was spending as much as 12 hours a day talking to acquaintances on the Internet. Finally her husband said, “Choose me or the computer.” She divorced him.Psychologist Kimberly Young, assistant professor of psychology at the University of Pittsburgh?s Bradford campus, found that 76 percent of the subjects in the study spends anaverage of 40 hours a week on the Internet.Of 396 people who met Young?s criteria （标准）for addicted Internet users, 157 were men, 239 women. The men were younger with an average age of 29; the women average 43 years of age.The largest group of addicted users of the Internet was people who were not working outside the home; that is, homemakers, students and those who were disabled or retired.In a presentation at the annual meeting of the American Psychological Association in Toronto, 82 percent of the addicted users said that they had slowly drifted into their addictions.（278 words ）36.

Which of the following statements is not true according to the passage?A. Many Internet surfers play games and chat online.B. Some Internet surfer has to receive medical treatment to get over the addiction.C. Nearly half of the Internet surfers spend almost 6 hours online every day.D. Internet, sometimes, can exert influence more powerful than family.38. It can be inferred from the passage the majority of addicted Internet users are. A. young menB. middle-aged men 39.C. young womenD. middle-aged womenIt is implied people who are likely to be addicted Internet users are usually. A. those who are busy with their work.B. those who are not employedC. those who want to escape from their boring lifeD. those who want to make friends40. The writer ?s attitude towards surfing the Internet is.A. appreciativeB. satiric （讽刺的）C. criticalD. solemnPassage 2In the summer of 1978 an English farmer named Ian Stevens was driving his tractor through a field of wheat when he discovered something strange. Some of his wheat waslying flat on the ground. The flattened （被压平的）wheat formed a circle about six meters across. Around this circle were four smaller circles of flattened wheat. In the following years more and more similar circles were found in a field of wheat or corn. So people cannot help but ask the question: What causes the circles?At first, people suspected that the circles were a trick. To prove that the circles were a trick, people tried to copy them: they tried to make circles exactly like the ones the farmers had found. They couldn't do it. They couldn't enter a field of grain without leaving tracks,and they couldn't flatten the grain without breaking it. The circles are apparently not a trick.Many people believe that beings from outer space are making the circles. Some think that the beings are trying to communicate with us from far away and that the circles are messages from them. Others believe that the beings have actually landed on earth and that the circles are marks left by their spaceships. Several times people reported seeing strange flying objects near fields where circles later appeared.Scientists say they're not sure what causes them. They have suggested several theories. For example, some scientists say that "microbursts" of wind created the circles. A microburst is a downward rush of cool air —the same downward rush of air that sometimes causes an airplane to crash. Other scientists say that forces within the earth cause the circles to appear. But circles often appear in forms. It is hard to believe that any natural force could create those forms. And recently farmers have discovered not only circles but also other shapes such as triangles in their fields. Could any natural force created a perfect triangle in a field of grain?In the summer of 1990 some scientists spent three weeks in the part of England where many circles have appeared. They had all the latest high-tech equipment. This equipment —worth 1.8 million dollars —recorded nothing. But one night, as the scientists were watching a field, circles formed in the field behind them. These circles are shown in the photograph. The scientists had neither seen nor heard anything. (402 words)41. What causes the circles?A. Teenagers.B. Farmers.C. Flying objects.D. None of the above.42. The thing that proves that the circles were not a trick is that ________.A. two men said they made the circles themselvesB. farmers were making the circles to attract touristsC. people cannot copy the circles without leaving marks or breaking the grainD. scientists suggest theories that support the idea that circles were made bynatural forces43. The circles mean ________.A. that beings from outer space are trying to communicate with human beingsB. that beings from outer space have visited the earthC. that there do exist strange flying objectsD. none of the above44. The only thing for the scientists to be happy about in the summer of 1990 ispossibly ________.A. that they discovered how the circles were madeB. that they saw the circles with the help of the latest high-tech equipmentC. that they were able to show the circles in a photographD. none of the above45. A proper title for this passage is ________.A. An Unsolved MysteryB. Strange Flying ObjectsC. The Power of Natural ForcesD. The Discovery of Strange CirclesPassage 3Accidents are caused; they don?t just happen. The reason may be easy to see: an overloaded tray, a shelf out of reach, a patch of ice on the road. But more often than not there is a chain of events leading up to the misfortune-frustration, tiredness or just bad temper-that show what the accident really is, a sort of attack on oneself.Road accidents, for example, happen frequently after a family quarrel, and we all know people who are accident-prone, so often at odds with（和…人争执）themselves and the world that they seem to cause accidents for themselves and others.By definition, an accident is something you cannot predict or avoid, and the ideawhich used to be current, that the majority of road accidents are caused a majority of criminally careless drivers, is not supported by insurance statistics. These show that most accidents involve ordinary motorists in a moment of carelessness of thoughtlessness.It is not always, clear, either, what sort of conditions make people more likely to have an accident. For instance, the law requires all factories to take safety precautions and most companies have safety committees to make sure the regulations are observed, but still, every day in Britain, some fifty thousand men and women are absent from work due to an accident-noise and fatigue, boredom or worry are possible factors which contribute to this. Doctors who work in factories have found that those who drink too much, usually people who have a high anxiety level, run three times the normal risk of accidents at work.46. This passage might be taken from _____________.A. a text bookB. a science fictionC. a popular magazineD. an annual report of a company47. The writer indicates that ___________.A. British people are often absent-minded.B. doctors should work in factories to avoid accidents.C. drivers are the only factor leading to road accidents.D. there are always some people who fail to observe regulations.48. Which of the following is not mentioned as a factor of accidents?A. anxietyB. tirednessC. bad weatherD. carelessness49. “Accident-prone”(Para.2) probably means “___________.”A. liable to have accidentsB. likely to be killed in accidentsC. responsible for road accidentsD. possible to avoid accidents50. Which of the following could serve as the best title for this passage?A. Causes of AccidentsB. Prevention of AccidentsC. Results of AccidentsD. Accidents and anxietyPassage 4America?s most creative playwright today is a 47-year-old black man who grew up ina Pittsburgh slum, dropped out of secondary school, did most of his reading at the neighborhood public library, and never saw plays until he started to write them. His nameis August Wilson, and his plays, which all are about the 20th century black experience in urban America, have won him audience?s acclaim(喝彩), critical approval and innumerable awards, including two Pulitzer Prizes, in 1987 for “Fences” and in 1990 for “The Piano Lesson”.August Wilson was born in 1945 in Pittsburgh, of a white father and a black mother. His father , a baker of German descent, had just about abandoned the family and was rarely at home. His mother, Daisy Wilson, who had migrated north from North Carolina, raised August and his three sisters on her scanty wages as a cleaning lady and on her welfare checks, in a two-room cold-water flat. His friends, his neighbors, his surroundings all were black, and he became familiar with black speech and thought-processes. Later on, when the family moved to a somewhat better, more mixed neighborhood, he still retained his black connections and interests. But he developed affinities（爱好）of his own, too. Especially an affinity for reading, which his mother taught him by age five.“My mother believed that if you could read, anything was possible,” he has said. “I read everything there was at the Carnegie Library, two blocks from the house. When I was 14, I discovered the ,Negro Section?. That?s what it was called. It consisted of 30 books or so on two little shelves. I still can remember how great it was when I read Ralph Ellison?s ,Invisible Man?. I guess from the time I was 12 I wanted to write poetry. Not plays. Poems.”51. “Fences” and “The Piano Lesson” in the first paragraph are names of ________.A. subjectsB. filmsC. playsD. novels52. The evidence of this passage suggests that August Wilson .A. didn?t enjoy his childhood.B. didn?t finish elementary school.C. did most of his reading at a public library.D. was born in 1945 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.53. The word “scanty”(Para.2) probably means .A. plentifulB. meagerC. excessiveD. enough54. Which of the following statements is not true according to the passage?A. August Wilson is a successful American playwright.B. Wilson?s plays deals with the urban black American today.C. Wilson became interested in writing poems at the age of five.D. Wilson learned the importance of reading from his mother.55. What is the author?s attitude towards August Wilson?A. indifferentB. contemptuousC. ironicalD. objectivePaper TwoPart IV.

新视野试卷三级试卷及答案
新视野试卷三级试卷及答案-CAL-FENGHAI.-(YICAI)-Company One1Text 1Some pessimistic experts feel that the automobile is bound to fall into disuse. They see a day in the not-too-distant future when all autos will be abandoned. Other authorities, however, think the auto is here to stay. They hold that the car will remain a leading means of urban travel in the foreseeable future.The motorcar will undoubtedly change significantly over the next 30 years. It should become smaller, safer, and more economical, and should not be powered by the gasoline engine. The car of the future should be far more pollution-free than present types.Regardless of its power source, the auto in the future will still be the main problem in urban traffic congestion （拥挤）. One proposed solution to this problem is the automated highway system.When the auto enters the highway system, retractable（可伸缩的）arm will drop from the auto and make contact with a rail, which is similar to those powering subway trains electrically. Once attached to the rail, the car will become electrically powered from the system, and control of the vehicle will pass to a central computer. The computer will then monitor all of the car's movements.The driver will use a telephone to dial instructions about his destination into the system. The computer will calculate the best route, and reserve space for the car all the way to the correct exit from the highway. The driver will then be free to relax and wait for the buzzer（蜂鸣器）that will warn him of his coming exit. It is estimated that an automated highway will be able to handle 10,000 vehicles per hour, compared with the 1,500 to 2,000 vehicles that can be carried by a present-day highway. (285 words)21. One significant improvement in the future car will probably be ________.A) its power source B) its driving systemC) its monitoring system D) its seating capacity22. What is the author's main concern?A) How to render automobiles pollution-free.B) How to make smaller and safer automobiles.C) How to solve the problem of traffic jams.D) How to develop an automated subway system.23. What provides autos with electric power in an automated highway system?A) A rail. B) An engine.C) A retractable arm. D) A computer controller.24. In an automated highway system, all the driver needs to do is ________.A) keep in the right laneB) wait to arrive at his destinationC) keep in constant touch with the computer centerD) inform the system of his destination by phone25. What is the author's attitude toward the future of autos?A) Enthusiastic. B) Pessimistic. C) Optimistic. D) Cautious.Text 2What should you think about in trying to find your careerYou are probably better at some school subjects than others. These may show strengths that you can use in your work. A boy who is good at mathematics can use that in an engineering career. So it is important to know the subjects you do well in at school. On the other hand, you may not have any specially strong or weak subjects but your records show a general satisfactory standard. Although not all subjects can be used directly in a job, they may have indirect value. A knowledge of history is not required for most jobs but if history is one of your good subjects you will have learned to remember facts and details. This is an ability that can be useful in many jobs. If you have had a part-time job on Saturdays or in the summer, think what you gained from it. If nothing else, you may have learned how to get to work on time, to follow instructions and to get on with older workers. You may have learned to give correct change in a shop, for example. Just as important, you may become interested in a particular industry or career you see from the inside in a part-time job.Facing your weak points is also part of knowing yourself. You may be all thumbs when you handle tools; perhaps you are a poor speller or cannot add up a column of figures. It is bitter to face any weaknesses than to pretend they do not exist. Your school record, for instance, may not be too good, yet it is an important part of your background. You should not be apologetic about it but instead recognize that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work. (303 words)26. Which of the following best sums up the first paragraph?A) The importance of doing well at school.B) Using school performance to help to choose a career.C) The importance of being good at all subjects.D) The indirect value of schoolwork.27. The writer thinks that for a student to have a part-time job is probably ______.A) a waste of time that could have been spent on studyB) useful for his future workC) a good way to earn extra moneyD) a good way to find out his weak points28. According to the passage, if a student's school record is not good, he ______.A) will be a complete failure in his future workB) will not be able to find a suitable jobC) will regret not having worked harder at schoolD) may do well in his future work29. Which subject is supposed to have no direct value for jot hunting?A) Mathematics. B) English. C) Technical Drawing. D) History.30. The whole passage centers on ______.A) choosing a career according to what one is skilled inB) acquiring knowledge by working hard at schoolC) finding one's strong and weak pointsD) developing one's abilities useful in school workText 3As a Canadian bilingual (双语的) teacher, I agree that the Canadian bilingual schools have been successful in producing functionally bilingual students. However, Mr. Whelpton's suggested condition that teachers in these schools must be fully bilingual may be unnecessary. For example, primary teachers can and do function with a smaller vocabulary than secondary teachers.Secondly, it is doubtful that students will use English because they "understand and accept the objective of making English the language of the classroom" which is a rather sterile motive. One reason that Canadian bilingual programs work is because of the commitment to Whole Language Learning, that is, children learn a language, (first or second), by using it to transmit (播送) or receive meaningful messages that are interesting, real and important. They want to make their needs and desires known and to understand the world around them. Bilingual programs integrate language and content in an activity-based, child-centred manner so that the child is motivated to use the second language as a tool to transmit and receive messages related to social and academic interests.Mr. Whelpton's third argument that all the students in one class need to be at approximately the same level of English proficiency (熟练) when they switch to English is unrealistic and unprofitable. How does a teacher group children who have a huge vocabulary but poor grammar skills and others who have correct grammar but a poor vocabularyAlso, suppose the students have similar language abilities but different learning styles! Hence the concept of co-operative learning: students with a mixture of personalities, talents and weaknesses (a more realistic reflection of life) learn better as they co-operate (合作), instead of compete, and depend on each other for support and information.

How would you describe the writer's attitude towards the Canadian bilingual programmes?A) Balanced. B) Unenthusiastic. C) Supportive. D) Critical.33.

Human-resource management is not traditionally seen as central to the competitive survival of the firm in the United States. Skill acquisition is considered an individual responsibility. Labor is simply another factor of production to be hired rented at the lowest possible cost much as one buys raw materials or equipment.The lack of importance attached to human-resource management can be seen in the corporate hierarchy. In an American firm the chief financial officer is almost always second in command. The post of head of human-resource management is usually a specialized job, off at the edge of the corporate hierarchy. The executive who holds it is never consulted on major strategic decisions and has no chance to move up to Chief Executive Officer (CEO). By way of contrast, in Japan the head of human resource management is central usually the second most important, after the CEO, in the firm's hierarchy.While American firms often have the vast amounts spent on training their work forces, in fact, they invest less in the skills of their employees than do either Japanese or German firms. The money they do invest is also more highly concentrated on professional and managerial employees. And the limited investments that are made in training workers are also much more narrowly focused on the specific skills necessary to do the next job rather than on the basic background skills that make it possible to absorb new technologies.As a result, problems emerge when new breakthrough technologies arrive. If American workers, for example, take much longer to learn how to operate new flexible manufacturing stations than workers in Germany (as they do).the effective cost of those stations is lower in Germany than it is in the United States. More time is required before equipment is up and running at capacity, and the need for extensive retraining generates costs and creates bottlenecks that limit the speed with which new equipment can be employed. The result is a slower pace of technological change. And in the end the skills of the bottom half of the population affect the wages of the top half. If the bottom half can't effectively staff the processes that have to be operated, the management and professional jobs that go with these processes will disappear.36. Which of the following applies to the management of human resources in American companies?A) They hire people at the lowest cost regardless of their skills.B) They see the gaining of skills as their employees’ own business.C) They attach more importance to workers than to equipment.D) They only hired skilled workers because of keen competition.37. What is the position of the head of human resource management?A) He is one of the most important executives in the firm.B) His post is likely to disappear when new technologies are introduced.C) He is directly under the chief financial executive.D) He has no say in making important decisions in the firm.38. The money most American firms put in training mainly goes to________.A) workers who can operate new equipmentB) technological and managerial staffC) workers who lack basic ground skillsD) top executives39. What's the main idea of the passage?A) American firms are different from Japanese and German firms in human-resource management.B) Extensive retraining is indispensable to effective human resource management.C) The head of human resource management must be in the central position in a firm's hierarchy.D) The human resource management strategies of American firms will affect their competitive capacity.40. According to the passage, the decisive factor in maintaining a firm's competitive advantage is ___________.A) the introduction of new technologiesB) the improvement of workers' skillsC) the rational composition of professional and managerial employeesD) the attachment of importance to the bottom half of the employeesIII.

新视野大学英语3期中考试A卷
Part II. Reading Comprehension (20 points)Passage OneAs we consider what makes one man better than the other, let’s look at two examples. The first example is a man who has a good job, a healthy body, and a loving family. His success is due to good decisions. He chose the correct subjects to study when he was at the university. Now that he’s out of school, he always schedules his time well so that he can get everything done at the proper time. He exercises and eats well, as he understands the benefits of this. In addition, in order to achieve happiness in the home, he spends time with his family and makes sure they all have when they need. On the other hand, the second man is something less than the successful person the first man is. What’s wrong with h im?Good sense is the ability to know what is true or right from what is not true or wrong. And some people might think that the second lacks good sense. However, the person who thinks this is mistaken. Actually, since everyone has the same amount of good sense, the first man does not have an advantage over the second in this respect. The second man has a good mind, and he has the ability to judge things well.The second man runs into trouble, because he directs his thought along a different path. He considers other things, different from the first man. The problem is that he does not apply his mind rightly, as does the first one. Thus, he is not capable of advancing further than he does.When you consider what you want out of life, think about the results of your decisions. Apply your mind well so that good things will come about and so that you are not left regretting your actions.21. During his university years, the first man ________.A. scheduled his time to get everything done.B. learned how to apply his mind rightly.C. ate right and did exercise regularly.D. chose things that made him successful later.22. The first man is fully aware of the good things that will result from _______.A. making good decisions during one’s uni versity studies.B. scheduling his time so that he can get everything done.C. taking care of his body with diet and exercise.D. being a successful person with a good family life.23. One’s ability to judge right or wrong is called _______.A. beneficial considerationB. thought directionC. successful thinkingD. good sense24. To keep from wishing you made a different choice, you should ________.A. get more out of lifeB. develop more good senseC. judge things right or wrongD. put good thought into your actions25. The main topic of this passage is ________.A. people are equalB. applying thought well will helpC. some people are not successfulD. people must judge things well Passage TwoIn 1848, gold was discovered in California; from all over the nation, thousands of young men set out for California. People called “this”the time of the Gold Rush.A gold miner came into a city looking for a pair of pants. He wanted pants strong enough to stand up to the rough work of mining. He met a young man named Levi, who sold heavy cloth for tents and wagon tops. They asked a tailor to use heavy cloth for their pants. Then Levi went into the business of making work pants. He asked his brothers to send him some strong blue cotton cloth called denim (斜纹粗棉布). With this blue denim cloth, Levi started making the kind of pants we call blue jeans today. They were sewed up in the same way as other pants.In 1860, a miner said that the pockets weren't strong enough to hold the pieces of gold he found. The pockets kept falling off the pants. The cloth was all right. It was the thread that wasn't strong enough. So Levi used rivets (铆钉) to attach the pockets onto the pants.Cowboys needed tough pants, too. They liked their pants to fit tightly. But the rivets marked the cowboys' saddles. So Levi covered the rivets with cloth. Then everybody was happy.26. This article as a whole is about ___________.A. how people got blue jeansB. the Gold Rush in CaliforniaC. How blue jeans are madeD. The kind of pants cowboys' wear27. While not stated in the article, you can tell that ___________.A. everybody who went to California got a lot of goldB. Levi found riches in the gold fieldsC. Levi sold more jeans to cowboys than to gold minersD. Levi made more money than many gold miners28. The word “this” in the last sentence of the first paragraph refers to __________.A. CaliforniaB. the discovery of goldC. many people looking for goldD. the nation at this time29. Levi used strong blue cotton cloth to make pants because __________.A. gold miners liked the blue colorB. this was the only cloth he hadC. miners wanted pants which could stand rough workD. cowboys liked their pants to fit tightly30. Which of the following sentences is NOT true?A. It was Levi who started the business of making blue jeans.B. It was one tailor who started making blue jeans.C. It was in California that blue jeans first became popular.D. It was in California that gold was discovered.Passage ThreeAfter having lived for over twenty years in the same district, Albert Hall was forced to move to a new neighborhood. He surprised his landlord by telling him that he was leaving because he could not afford to buy any more chocolate.It all began a year ago when Albert Hall returned home one evening and found a large dog in front of his gate. He was very fond of animals and as he happened to have a small piece of chocolate in his pocket, he gave it to the dog. The next day, the dog was there again. It held up its paws (爪子) and received another piece of chocolate as a reward. Albert called his new friend "Bingo". He never found out the dog's real name, nor who his owner was.However, Bingo appeared regularly every afternoon and it was quite clear that he liked chocolate more than bones. He soon grew dissatisfied with small pieces of chocolate and demanded a large piece a day. If at any time Albert couldn't give it, Bingo got very angry and refused to let him open the gate. Albert was now at Bingo's mercy and had to "buy him" to get into his own house! He spent such a large part of his money to keep Bingo supplied with chocolate that in the end he had to move somewhere else.31. Albert had been living in the same district for ______________.A. many weeksB. under twenty yearsC. all his lifeD. more than twenty years32.

In fact, something far more threatening was at hand, as the Americans were telling Stalin at Potsdam.In 1939 physicists in the United States had learned of experiments in Germany demonstrating the possibility of atomic power and understood the potential damage of an atomic bomb. On August 2, 1939, Albert Einstein warned President Roosevelt of the danger of Nazi Germany's advances in development of the atomic bomb. Eventually, the U. S. Office of Scientific Research Development was created in June 1941 and given combined responsibility with the War Department in the Manhattan Project to develop a nuclear bomb. After four years of intensive research and development efforts, an atomic device was set off on July 16, 1945, in a desert area at Alamogordo, New Mexico, generating an explosive power equal to that of more than 15,000 tons of TNT. Thus, the atomic bomb was born. Truman, the new U.S. president, believed that this terrible object might be used to defeat Japan in a way less costly of U. S. lives than a conventional invasion of the Japanese homeland. Japan's unsatisfactory response to the Allies' Potsdam Declaration decided the matter.On August 6,1945, an atomic bomb carried from Tinian Island in the Marianas in a specially equipped B-29 was dropped on Hiroshima, at the southern end of Honshu. The combined heat and blast destroyed everything in the explosion's immediate neighborhood, generated spontaneous fires that burned out almost 4.4 square miles completely, and killed between 70,000 and 80,000 people, in addition to injuring more than 70,000 others. A second bomb, dropped on Nagasaki on August 9, killed between 35,000 and 40,000 people, injured a like number, and ruined 1.8 square miles.36.What is the main idea of the passage?A . An atomic device was developed after much work was done.B . The birth and use of the atomic bomb ended the second world war.C . An invasion was about to take place with the use of atomic bombs.D . An atomic bombs was dropped on the cites of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.37.What was the danger AE had warned R about?A . The danger of Nazi Germany’s advances in the development of atomic bombs.B . The possibility of atomic power being used against Nazi Germany or Japan.C . Japan’s response to the Allies’ Potsdam Declaration during World War Two.D . The destruction of everything from the explosion of the atomic bomb in Japan.38.What was the U.S. Office of SRD created for?A . To give a partner to the war department in the Manhattan Project.B . To give a response to Einstein’s proposal concerning the bombs.C . To fight against the invasion of Japan and put an end to the war.D .To develop a nuclear bomb with the war department in a project.39.How many people were killed by the two bombs dropped in Japan?A .

At the same time, about thirteen hundred American teen-agers will go to other countries to learn new languages and gain a new understanding of the rest of the world.Here is a two-way student exchange(交换)in action. Fred, nineteen, spent last year in Germany with George's family. In turn, George’s son Mike spent a year in Fred's home in America.Fred, a lively young man, knew little German when he arrived, but after two months' study, the language began to e to him. School was pletely different from what he had expected-much harder. Students rose respectfully when the teacher entered the room. They took fourteen subjects instead of the six that are usual in the United States. There were almost no outside activities(活动).Family life, too, was different. The father's word was law, and all activities were around the family rather than the individual(个人). Fred found the food too simple at first. Also, he missed having a car."Back home, you pick up some friends in a car and go out and have a good time. In Germany, you walk, but you soon learn to like it."At the same time, in America, Mike, a friendly German boy, was also forming his idea. "I suppose I should criticize(批评)American schools", he says. "It is far too easy by our level. But I have to say that I like it very much. In Germany we do nothing but study. Here we take part in many outside activities. I think that maybe you schools are better in training for citizens(公民). There ought to be some middle ground between the two. "1. This year _____ teen-agers will take part in the exchange program between America and other countries.A. twenty three hundredB. thirteen hundredC. over three thousandD. less than two thousand2.

After experiencing the American school life, Mike thought _____ .A. a better education should include something good from both America and GermanyB. German schools trained students to be better citizensC. American schools were not as good as German schoolsD. the easy life in the American school was more helpful to students[B]In order to learn a foreign language well, it is necessary to overe the fear of making mistakes. If the primary goal of language use is munication, the mistakes are secondary considerations that may be dealt with gradually as awareness of those mistakes increases. On the other hand, students should not ignore their mistakes. The language learner may observe how native speakers express themselves, and how nativeexpressions differ from the way the learner might say them. For example, a Spanish speaker who has been saying " I do it" to express willingness to do something in the immediate future, but, by interacting with native speakers of English, you may observe that native speakers actually say "I'll do it." The resulting discrepancy(差异) can serve as a basis for the student to modify his way of using the present tense in English. But a student who is unwilling to interact in the first place would lose this opportunity to learn by trial and error.6. According to the passage, foreign language students should not worry too much about making mistakes because ___________.A. native speakers will ignore their mistakesB. munication is the primary goal of language learningC. everyone makes mistakes when trying to municate in a strange languageD. native speakers like foreign students who try to learn their language7. According to the passage, the present tense in English is ___________.A. not used to express a desire to do something in the immediate futureB. used with some verbs but not with others to express future intentionC. basically the same in English as it is in SpanishD. not the most difficult problem for foreign students8. The author thinks that language learners can reduce the number of their mistakes by ___________.A. asking native speakers for explanationsB. reading good books in the foreign languageC. paring their speech with that of native speakersD. speaking without regard to native speakers9. The passage implies that foreign students who do not interact with native speakers will not ___________.A. learn very much about the foreign cultureB. learn about the history of the foreign languageC. have to worry about making mistakesD. take advantage of available language models10. The author's major conclusion about the function of mistakes in foreign language learning is that___________.A. mistake are not important in the process of learning a languageB. learners are often very afraid of making mistakesC. making mistakes can help the learner discover the rules of the languageD. mistakes do not interfere with munication[C]After a busy day of work and play, the body needs to rest. Sleep is necessary for good health. During this time, the body recovers from the activities of the previous day. The rest that you get while sleeping enables your body to prepare itself for the next day.There are four levels of sleep, each being a little deeper than the one before. As you sleep, your muscles relax little by little. Your heart beats more slowly, and your brain slows down. After you reach the fourth level, your body shifts back and forth（来回地）from one level of sleep to the other.Although your mind slows down, from time to time you will dream. Scientists who study sleep state that when dreaming occurs, your eyeballs begin to move more quickly (although your eyelids are closed). This stage of sleep is called REM, which stands for rapid eye movement.If you have trouble falling asleep, some people remend breathing very slowly and very deeply. Other people believe that drinking warm milk will help make you drowsy（昏昏欲睡的）. There is also an old suggestion that counting sheep will put you to sleep!11.

During REM, ____________.A. your eyes move quicklyB. you dreamC. you are restlessD. both A and B15. The average number of hours of sleep that an adult needs is ____________.A. approximately six hoursB. around ten hoursC. about eight hoursD. not stated here[D]How much living space does a person need? What happens when his space requirements are not adequately met? Sociologists and psychologists are conducting experiments on rats to try to determine the effects of overcrowded conditions on man. Recent studies have shown that the behavior of rats is greatly affected by space. If rats have adequate living space, they eat well, sleep well, and reproduce well. However, if their living conditions bee too crowded, their behavior patterns and even their health perceptibly(可感知地) change. They cannot sleep and eat well, and signs of fear and tension bee obvious. The more crowed they are, the more they tend to bite each other and even kill each other. Thus for rats, population and violence are directly related. Is this a natural law for human society as well? Is adequate space not only desirable, but essential for human survival?16. This passage is mainly about _________.A. living space and behaviorB. population and living conditionsC. interesting experiments on ratsD. a natural law for human society17. What is the purpose of the experiments described in the passage?A. To determine how much living space a rat needs.B. To see what happens when rats live in a limited space.C.

There are still many families without cars, but some families have two or ever more. However, cars are used for more than pleasure. There are a necessary part of life.Cars are used for business. They are driven to offices and factories by workers who have no other way to get to their jobs. When salesmen are sent to different parts of the city, they have to drive in order to carry their products. Farmers have to drive into the city in order to get supplies.Sometimes small children must be driven to school. In some cities school buses are provided only when children live more than a mile from the school. When the children are too young to walk that far, their mothers take turn driving them to school. One mother drives on Monday, taking her own children and the neighbors' children as well. Another mother drives on Tuesday, another on Wednesday, and so on. This is called forming a car poll. Men also form car pools, with three or four men taking turns driving to the place where they all work.More car pools should be formed in order to put fewer automobiles on the road and to use less gasoline. Parking is great problem, and so is the traffic in and around cities. Too many cars are being driven. Something will have to be done about the use of cars.21. Which is NOT true according to the passage?A. Each American family has got at least one car.B. Some American families have got more than one car.C. Cars are very mon in the United States.D.

Some families still do not have their own cars.[F]A four-year study conducted by the Infant(婴儿) Testing Center in San Francisco, California, suggests that babies feel more fortable around other babies than with strange adults. According to the study, babies benefit by being with their fellow infants daily. Whereas a baby might show fear of an adult stranger, he is likely to smile and reach out for an unfamiliar infant. By the time babies are one year old, they have begun to form friendships of a sort.The above findings, based on observation of 100 babies aged three months to three years, might prove interesting to working parents who must find day care for their babies. Family care in a private home, with several babies together, is probably the idea way to care for babies under three. Dr. Benjamin Spock, well-known pediatrician(儿科医生) and author of books about babies, supports the idea. He says that family day care is better in theory than hiring a housekeeper or a babysitter.11. What would be a good title for the passage?A. How to Test InfantsB. Parents and ChildrenC. Choosing a BabysitterD. Day Care for Babies12.

The author is talking to _________.A. working parentsB. researchers on infantsC. pediatriciansD. babies under three[G]It is a matter of mon observation that although ines keep going up over the years, people never seem to bee much better off! Prices are rising continuously. This condition is termed one of inflation; the money supply is being inflated so that each unit of it bees less valuable. People have grown accustomed in recent years to higher and higher rates of inflation. What could be bought ten years ago for one dollar now costs well over two dollars. Present indications are that this rate of inflation is tending to rise rather than to fall. If in the real world our money ines go up at the same rate as prices one might think that inflation does not matter. But it does. When money is losing value it lacks one of the qualities of a good money - stability of value. It is no longer acceptable as a store of value; and it bees an unsuitable standard of deferred(延迟)payments. Nobody wants to hold a wasting asset(资产), so people try to get rid of money as quickly as possible. Inflation therefore stimulates consumer spending, and prevents people from saving.21. Inflation is a situation in which __________.A. we find our money increase in its valueB. employment no longer bees a problemC. people can always find better paying jobsD. money keeps losing its value22. According to the author, inflation __________.A. seldom happensB. is very mon at the present timeC. has bee rare in recent yearsD. is just reasonable23. According to the passage, if ines and prices rise together __________.A. money will hold its valueB. inflation poses no problemC. inflation will remain to be a problemD. the business will prosper24. When money loses its value __________.A. its rate against gold will be kept at the same levelB. it is no longer stableC. goods will lose their valueD. ines will keep rising25. In a period of inflation, people are likely to __________.A. invest heavily on the stock marketB. save moneyC. hold on to money as a dependable assetD. spend money and not bother(烦恼) to save[H]Sports and games make our bodies strong, prevent us from getting too fat, and keep us healthy. But these are not their only use. They give us valuable practice in making eyes, brain and muscles work together. In tennis, our eyes see the ball ing, judge its speed and direction and pass this information on to the brain. The brain then has to decide what to do, and to send its orders to the muscles of the arms, legs, and so on, so that the ball is met and hit back where it ought to go. All this must happen with very great speed, and only those who have had a lot of practice at tennis can carry out this plicated chain of events successfully. For those who work with their brains most of the day, the practice of such skills is especially useful.Sports and games are also very useful for character training. In their lessons at school, boys and girls may learn about such virtues as unselfishness, courage, discipline and love of one's country; but what is learned in books cannot have the same deep effect on a child's character as what is learned by experience. The ordinary day-school cannot give much practical training in living, because most of the pupil's time is spent in classes, studying lessons. So it is what the pupils do in their spare time that really prepares them to take their place in society as citizens when they grow up. If each of them learns to work for his society as citizens when they grow up. If each of them learns to work for his team and not for himself on the football field, he will later find it natural to work for the good of his country instead of only for his own benefit.26. When we play tennis we have to _________.A. use, first, our eyes, then the brain and finally the musclesB. make our eyes, brain and muscles work almost at the same timeC. use mainly the arms and legs to hitD. use mainly the muscles so that the ball is met and hit back27. The "plicated chain of events" refers to _________.A. the passing of information and making of decisionsB. the meeting and hitting back of the ballC. the coordinated(协调的) movements of our eyes, brain and musclesD. a lot of practice before playing tennis28. By character-training, the author means that sports and games can help children _________.A. live a better life when they grow upB. know letter how to behave properly in their future lifeC. understand better the virtues they learn in booksD. All of the above29. According to the author, a child's character can be most deeply influenced by _________.A. what he does out of classB. what he learns in booksC. his place in societyD. his lessons at school30. What is of the greatest importance to a football team isA. its membersB. its team workC. the football fieldD. the climate[I]My formula for staying young is simple: concentrate on the part of you that's young and growing - your brain. Keep your mind awake and you'll stay young all over. These are exciting times. Take an interest in the world around you, and make a point of learning at least one new thing every day.Regardless of your age, it's not too late to make your life more interesting. I know a housewife with no previous knowledge who made herself into an outstanding industrial designer; I know a retired electrical engineer who has bee a highly paid ceramic artist.Get over the notion that you are ever too old to go back to school. I know a man who entered medical college at 70. He got his degree with honors and became an eminent physician. Another man went to law school at 71 and his now an active lawyer.In spite of years, staying young is easy for those who live in the future. You can do it if you care enough to try. Keep your mind awake and active; that's the only youth elixir(万灵药) guaranteed to work.31. The statement that our brain remains young and growing regardless of age is __________.A. an impossibilityB. a scientific factC. a suppositionD. a ridiculous conclusion32. It is wrong to __________.A. think oneself too old to go back to schoolB. keep one's mind awakeC. try to stay youngD. get one's degree with honor33. The passage states that a man who entered college at 70 became __________.A. an active lawyerB. an electric engineerC. a distinguished doctorD. a highly paid ceramic artist34. The only youth elixir is to __________.A. go back to schoolB. forget one's own ageC. keep in touch with young peopleD. keep one's mind awake and active35. All of the following statement are true EXCEPT that __________.A. human brain never gets old with ageB. every person should take up a new occupation when he bees oldC. staying young is not difficult if one is willing to tryD. there is always something to learn if you have an interest in what's going on around youIV. Translation(翻译：把下列英文翻译成汉语)[A]When I was growing up, I was embarrassed to be seen with my father. He was severely crippled and very short, and when we walked together, his hand on my arm for balance, people would stare. I would inwardly struggle at the unwanted attention. If he ever noticed or was bothered, he never let on. It was difficult to coordinate our steps---his halting, mine impatient---and because of that, we didn’t say much as we went along. But as we started out, he always said, “You set the pace, I will try to adjust to you.”[B]Alone now, the widow reads considerably. She used to underline favorite passages to share with her husband. Now, in a notebook, she stores quotations like this one from Elizabeth Jolley’s Cabin Fever: “I experience again the deep-felt wish to be part of a married couple, to sit by the fire in winter withthe man who is my husband. So intense is this wish that if I write the word husband on a piece of paper, my eyes fill with tears.”。

Reading Comprehension (30 points)Directions:There are 3 passages in this part. Each passage isfollowed bysomequestions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices markedA), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark thecorrespondingletter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre. Passage 1Having raised eight children of my own, I know the dilemma parents face. In aworld increasingly hostile to children, we want to show we care by acting on our loving impulses, which usually means spending. But when our kids came home asking for the latest designer wear, my wife and I knew we had to say “no”more often than not. Of course, deciding tohave no TV in the house was the first real breakthrough; Idoubt wewould have won this battle without freeing ourselves from its influence.As a child, I grew up in what I now see was poverty. For the first few years of mylife, I ate only the smallest amount. Yet, I would find it hard to imagine a happierchildhood. Why? Because my parents gave us children time and attention on a dailybasis. For instance, no mater how busy they were, they tried to eat breakfast with usbefore we went off to school each morning.No child should have to live in poverty. ButI firmly believe that the happiness of achild does not depend on his or her access to material wealth.After all, it is the love wegive our children, and not the things, that will remain with them for life.Havingworked thirty years as a family counselor, I know that parents really to lovetheir children, and want to do what is best for them. But what does it mean to give achild love? Next time you feel that your have failed your kids, and are tempted to relievethose feeling by bringing home gifts, remember thatwe can't buy our children's affection.All they really want, and need, is time and attentiveness, a listening ear and anencouraging word. These are things every parent can provide.16.

In Paragraph One, when the author says, “But when ourkids …we had to say ‘no' more often than not”, he means _____.A) he could not afford to muchB) in order not to spoil his children, he must refuse themC) though he loved his children, he didn't always satisfy their material needsD) he wanted to fight against his children19. The sentence “I would find it hard to imagine a happier childhood”means ______.A) his childhood was much happier than he could imagineB) he did not have a happy childhood because of povertyC) it's hard to imagine whether he had had a happy childhoodD) none of the above20. What does the author think is the best for his children?A) GiftsB) A listening ear and an encouraging word.C) Time and attentiveness.D) Both B and CPassage 2As the plane took off from Gatwick, Mr. And Mrs. Malloy settled back with a sighof relief. They had thought they'd never be able to get away on this holiday, their first holiday alone, without the family, since their honeymoon. They had had to arrange for Mrs. Malloy's mother to look after Freddie and George, their children, while a neighbor had kindly agreed to look after Annabelle their cat, for the two weeks of their of their holiday. Then there'd been the problem of arranging both to take their annual leave from work at the same time, all the bother of getting passports (it was their first holiday abroad) and finally the last minute rush to pack, getthe children off to their grandmother and make sure the neighbor had precise instructions as to what Annabelle liked to eat. Sometimes they'd wondered whether it was all worth while. But there they were at last, on an aeroplane heading for the unknown pleasures of a holiday resort in Spain.Mrs. Malloy was still a bit worriedabout the thought of eating strange foreign foodand had some real English tea and tins in her luggage, just in case. Mr. Malloy wondered d learned in six weeks of evening classes would be'whether the few Spanish phrases heenough to talk to the natives, and anxiously thumbed his bilingual (双语的) phrase book.21.

Reading Comprehension (Reading in Depth) (20 minutes, 20%)Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. Foreach of them there are four choices marked A, B, C andD. You should decide on the best choice and mark thecorresponding letter on the answer sheet with a singleline through the center.Passage OneQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.Women live longer than men because they are spoiled for choice. That is the startling conclusion of an international group of scientists who say they found the cause of female longevity.They say females have two separate cell lines in their bodies, while men have only one. Women in old age can “choose” the more robust (强壮的) of these lines and survive for many more years.Why there should be such a persistent cross-cultural gap between the life spans of the sexes has baffled scientists until now. In a paper in the journal Blood,and reported in the current issue of New Scientist, researchers at Odence University in Denmark and Ulleval University Hospital in Norway point to a key difference in the sex-determining chromosomes (染色体) found in the cells of men and women.Every cell in a woman’s body has two X chromosomes, one inherited from her mother and the other from her father. In each cell, one of these two X chromosomes is switched off. This means that a woman is a mosatic (混合体) of two cell lines: one derived from her father’s X chromosome, the other from her mother’s. By contrast, every cell in a man’s body has an X and a Y chromosome, neither of which is turned off. He has only one line. This difference could be crucial in determining the long-term health of men and women, scientists concluded, and so they decided to examine cells taken from young women.They found an even division between their two different lines. However, when they looked at elderly females they found their bodies now favored one set of cells at the expense of the other line. “This suggests that one of the cell lines is ‘better’ than the other,” say the researchers. In other words, women’s bodies may select the more vigorous of the two cell lines and allow it to predominate the twilight of their years, giving them a crucial advantage over men, who have no chance of choosing the healthier of two sets of cells.36.Women enjoy a longer life than men because_____.A. women are entitled to longevityB. women are favored by GodC. women are born to be soD. women are spoiled in the world37. The difference in the sex-determining chromosomes is that_____.A. a woman inherits X chromosomes from her mother while a man fromhis fatherB. a woman inherits Y chromosomes from her mother while a man fromhis fatherC. a woman has an X and a Y chromosome while a man has two of themD. a woman has two X chromosomes while a man has an X and a Ychromosome38. A great difference between men and women is that_____.A. women have two chromosomes but men have only oneB. women have two cell lines but men have only oneC. women can choose from two chromosomes but men cannotD. women can choose from two cells but men cannot39. The word “their” (Line 1, refers to______.A. the scientists’B. men’sC. women’sD. young women’s40. “The twilight of their years” (Line 5, refer to______.A. their old yearsB. their young yearsC. their good yearsD. their bad yearsPassage TwoQuestions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage.The word science is heard so often in modern times that almost everybody has some notion of its meaning. The meaning of the term is confusing, but everyone should understand its meaning and objectives. Just to make the explanation as simple as possible, just suppose science is defined as classified knowledge.Even in true sciences, distinguishing fact from fiction is not always easy. For this reason great care should be taken to distinguish between beliefs and truths. For example, hypotheses and theories are attempts to explain natural phenomena. From these positions scientists continue to experiment and observe until they are proved. The exact status of any explanation should be clearly labeled to avoid confusion..The objectives of science are primarily the discovery and the subsequent understanding of the unknown. Man cannot be satisfied with recognizing that secrets exist in nature or that questions are unanswerable; he must solve them. Toward that end specialists in the field of biology and related fields of interest are directing much of their time and energy.Actually two basic approaches lead to the discovery of new information. One, aimed at satisfying curiosity, is referred to as pure science. The other is aimed at using knowledge for specific purposes such as improving health, or creating new consumer products. In this case knowledge is put to economic use. Such an approach is referred to as applied science.Sometimes practical-minded people miss the point of pure science in thinking only of its immediate application for economic reward. Chemists responsible for discoveries could hardly anticipate that their findings would one day result in applications of such a practical nature as those directly related to life and death. The discovery of one bit of information opens the door to the discovery of another. However, one should remember that the construction ofmicroscope had to proceed the discovery of the cell. Many scientists dedicating their lives to pure science are not apologetic about ignoring the practical side of their discoveries; they know from experience that most knowledge is eventually applied.41.To define science, we can simply name it as________.A.the study of nature and mankindB.the attempt to pose and prove hypotheses and theoriesC.categorized knowledgeD.the study of unrelated natural phenomena42.A scientist interested in general knowledge about oxygen wouldprobably call his approach _______.A.applied scienceB.chemical scienceC.pure scienceD.environmental science43.Which of the following sentences about pure science is trueA.It may lead to antiscientific, impure results.B.It necessarily proceeds applied science.C.It is not always as pure as we suppose.D.It necessarily results from applied science.44.Which of the following is implied in the passageA.Pure scientists should not be blamed for ignoring thepractical side of their discoveries.B.Today fewer people have any notion of the meaning of science.C.In true sciences, it is not difficult to distinguish fact fromfiction.D.Practical-minded people can understand the meaning andobjectives of pure science.45. Which of the following is the best title for this passageA. On Distinguishing Fact from FictionB. Biology and the Scientific AgeC. Hypotheses and TheoriesD. The Nature of SciencePaper TwoPart IV. Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning) (15 minutes,10%)Directions: In this part you will have 15 minutes to go over the passage quickly and answer the questions. For questions1---7, mark Y (for YES) if the statement agrees with theinformation given in the passage; N (for NO) if thestatement contradicts the information given in thepassage; NG ( for NOT GIVEN) if the information is notgiven in the passage. For questions 8---10, complete thesentences with the information given in the passage.Rich Dad, Poor DadI had two fathers, a rich one and a poor one. One was highly educated and intelligent; he had a . and completed four years of undergraduate work in less than two years. He then went on to Stanford University, the University of Chicago, and Northwestern University to do his advanced studies, all on full financial scholarships. The other father never finished the eighth grade.Both men were successful in their careers, working hard all their lives. Both earned substantial incomes. Yet one struggled financially all his life. The other would become one of the richest men in Hawaii. One died leaving tens of millions of dollars to his family, charities and his church. The other left bills to be paid.Both men were strong, charismatic and influential. Both men offered me advice, but they did not advise the same things. Both men believed strongly in education but did not recommend the same course of study.If I had had only one dad, I would have had to accept or reject his advice. Having two dads advising me offered me the choice of contrasting points of view; one of a rich man and one of a poor man. Instead of simply accepting or rejecting one or the other, I found myself thinking more, comparing and then choosing for myself.As a young boy, having two strong fathers both influencing me was difficult. I wanted to be a good son and listen, but the two fathers did not say the same things. The contrast in their points of view, particularly where money was concerned, was so extreme that I grew curious and intrigued. I began to start thinking for long periods of time about what each was saying.Much of my private time was spent reflecting, asking myselfquestions such as, "Why does he say that" and then asking the same question of the other dad's statement. It would have been much easier to simply say, "Yeah, he's right. I agree with that." Or to simply reject the point of view by saying, "The old man doesn't know what he's talking about." Instead, having two dads whom I loved forced me to think and ultimately choose a way of thinking for myself. As a process, choosing for myself turned out to be much more valuable in the long run, rather than simply accepting or rejecting a single point of view.Because I had two influential fathers, I learned from both of them.I had to think about each dad's advice, and in doing so, I gained valuable insight into the power and effect of one's thoughts on one's life. For example, one dad had a habit of saying, "I can't afford it." The other dad forbade those words to be used. He insisted I say, "How can I afford it" One is a statement, and the other is a question. One lets you off the hook, and the other forces you to think. My soon-to-be-rich dad would explain that by automatically saying the words "I can't afford it," your brain stops working. By asking the question "How can I afford it" your brain is put to work. He did not mean buy everything you wanted. He was fanatical about exercising your mind, the most powerful computer in the world. "My brain gets stronger every day because I exercise it. The stronger it gets, the more money I can make." He believed that automatically saying "I can't afford it" was a sign of mental laziness.My two dads had opposing attitudes in thought. One dad thought that the rich should pay more in taxes to take care of those less fortunate. The other said, "Taxes punish those who produce and reward those who don't produce."One dad recommended, "Study hard so you can find a good company to work for." The other recommended, "Study hard so you can find a good company to buy."One dad said, "The reason I'm not rich is because I have you kids." The other said, "The reason I must be rich is because I have you kids." One encouraged talking about money and business at the dinner ,table. The other forbade the subject of money to be discussed over a meal.One dad believed in a company or the government taking care of you and your needs. He was always concerned about pay raises,retirement plans, medical benefits, sick leave, vacation days and other perks.The other believed in total financial self-reliance. He spoke out against the "entitlement" mentality and how it was creating weak and financially needy people. He was emphatic about being financially competent.One dad struggled to save a few dollars. The other simply created investments.One dad taught me how to write an impressive resume so I could find a good job. The other taught me how to write strong business and financial plans so I could create jobs.My poor dad would also say, "I'm not interested in money," or "Money doesn't matter." My rich dad always said, "Money is power." As a young boy, having two fathers, I became acutely aware of being careful which thoughts I chose to adopt as my own. Whom should I listen to--- my rich dad or my poor dadAlthough both men had tremendous respect for education and learning, they disagreed in what they thought was important to learn. One wanted me to study hard, earn a degree and get a good job to work for money. He wanted me to study to become a professional, an attorney or an accountant or to go to business school for my MBA. The other encouraged me to study to be rich, to understand how money works and to learn how to have it work for me. "I don't work for money!" were words he would repeat over and over, "Money works for me!"At the age of 9, I decided to listen to and learn from my rich dad about money. In doing so, I chose not to listen to my poor dad, even though he was the one with all the college degrees.1.The purpose of the passage is to tell us the differences betweenthe two fathers.2.Both the two fathers received a very good education.3.Both men were successful in their careers, working hard all theirlives.4.Both men offered the author suggestions, but they were greatlydifferent.5.As a clever boy, the author could decide very easily who was rightand who was wrong.6.The rich father hated people saying “I can’t afford it.”7.Both the dads were from very rich families.8.Instead of simply accepting or rejecting a single point of view,the author found that choosing for himself turned out to be ______________.9.One dad recommended, "Study hard so you can find a good companyto work for." The other recommended, "Study hard _____________________"10. Concerning money in the end, the author decided to listento________________.Part V.
