(30%)Text 1My husband and I got married in 1981 and for the first ten years of our marriage I was very happy to stay home and raise our three children. Then four years ago, our youngest child went to school and I thought I might go back to workMy husband was very supportive and helped me to make my decision.He emphasized all of the things I can do around the house, and said he thought I could be a great success in business.After several weeks of looking for a job, I found my present job, whichis working for a small public relations firm. At first, my husband was very proud of me and would tell his friends. “My clever little wife can run that company she’d working for.”But as his joking statement approached truth, my husband stopped talking to me about my job. I have received several promotions and pay increases, and I’m now making more money than he is. I can buy my own clothes and a new car. Because of our joined incomes, my husband and I can do many things we had always dreamed of doing, but we don’t do these things because he is very unhappy.We fight about little things and my husband is very critical of me in front of our friends. For the first time in our marriage, I think it is possible that our marriage may come to an end.I love my husband very much, and I don’t want him to feel inferior, but I also love my job. I think I can be a good wife and a working woman, but I don’t know how. Who can give me some advice? Will I have to choose one or the other or can I keep both my husband and my new career?16.

Being able to find after-sales service creates a feeling of convenience and a sense of responsibility from the manufacturer. This is very important to build customer loyalty and explains why more 24-hour hotline centers are available nowadays.Product guarantee is also one of the major factors when a potential customer decides to make a purchase. Whether this be in the form of a written guarantee or a guarantee based on reputation, the importance to the consumer is self-evident. A brand’s research & development, an unavoidable investment, usually back up safety guarantees for marketers nowadays. Product testing and refinement are conducted for both new and existing products. With the help of computerized machinery, quality control has achieved the highest level than ever before to enable consistency in production. For the consumer this means a quality of guarantee for that brand whether it be available at home or abroad.21.

Ana knew her grades were excellent, but she realized that she must do well on the exams in order to qualify for the $3,000 stipend (津贴). Although Ana had worried about the interview portion of the exam, she came through with flying colors (轻松地). She spoke to the American interviewers about her family background and discussed her educational plans with them. Her hard work paid off, for she was one of twenty awarded a four-year scholarship earlier this month.Now Ana cannot believe that she is sitting in a business management class at the University of California at Los Angeles. Although she has had seven years of English language classes, Ana is having difficulty with the text and lectures because there are so many new words and technical definitions to remember.

The best main idea for the first paragraph is _____.A) Ana has many experiences taking the interview examB) Ana prepares for the interview examC) Ana came through with flying colorsD) Ana takes examsText 4The term "culture shock" has already begun to creep into the popular vocabulary. Culture shock is the effect that involvement in a strange culture has on the unprepared visitor. Culture shock is what happens when a traveler suddenly finds himself in a place where yes may mean no, where a "fixed price" is negotiable, where to be kept waiting in an outer office is no cause for insult, where laughter may signify (意味) anger.The culture shock phenomenon causes a breakdown in communication, a misreading of reality, an inability to cope. Yet culture shock is relatively mild in comparison with the much more serious malady（弊病）, future shock. Future shock is brought on by the premature arrival of the future. It may well be the most important disease of tomorrow.Take an individual out of his own culture and set him down suddenly in an environment sharply different from his own, with a different set of cues to react to — different conceptions (概念) of time, space, work, love, religion, sex, and everything else, then the dislocation he suffers will be severe. Given few clues as to what kind of behavior is rational under the radically new circumstances, the victim may well become a danger to himself and others.Now imagine not merely an individual but an entire society, an entire generation — including its weakest, least intelligent, and most irrational members — suddenly transported into this new world. The result is mass disorientation (迷失方向), future shock on a grand scale.This is the prospect that man now faces. Change is avalanching（把……淹没） upon our heads and most people are unprepared to cope with it.31. Culture shock occurs when ________.A. one loses all hopes of returning to his home environmentB. one expresses ideas and emotions contrary to what he intends to expressC. one cannot make accurate judgment using one's own value standardsD. one cannot conduct negotiations for goods of fixed prices32. Future shock is much more serious than culture shock as ________.A. it concerns the problems of the futureB. it affects people on a grand scaleC. it causes mass casualties (伤亡)D. it destroys the foundation of the society33. The word "cue" in Para. 3 most probably refers to something that________.A. disorients an individualB. disturbs an individual's normal way of lifeC. helps an individual to function in societyD. arouses an individual's interest in the new culture34. One of the good measures to prevent future shock is to ________.A. get people well-prepared for the future changesB. keep people well-informed of the cultures in different placesC. make people fight against the possible future changesD. acquaint people with the harm of the future changes35.

Reading Comprehension (40%)Directions:Read the following passages carefully and do the multiple-choice questions.Passage 1After-sales service and guarantee become an integral and essential part of a “good brand”on both local and regional levels, and the provision of such also produces solid ground for customer loyalty.Customers today are a lot more demanding than before. Being able to find after-sales service creates a feeling of convenience and a sense of responsibility from the manufacturer. This is very important to build customer loyalty and explains why more 24-hour hotline centers are available nowadays.Product guarantee is also one of the major factors when a potential customer decides to make a purchase. Whether this be in the form of a written guarantee or a guarantee based on reputation, the importance to the consumer is self-evident. A brand’s research & development, an unavoidable investment, usually back up safety guarantees for marketers nowadays. Producttesting and refinement are conducted for both new and existing products. With the help of computerized machinery, quality control has achieved the highest level than ever before to enable consistency in production. For the consumer this means a quality of guarantee for that brand whether it be available at home or abroad.16.

The word rubbish could lose its meaning because everything which goes into the dumps would be made into something useful. Even the most dangerous and unpleasant waste would provide energy if nothing else.The latest project is to take a city around half a million inhabitants and discover exactly what raw materials go into it and what go out. The aim is to find out how much of these raw materials could be provided if a plant for recycling waste were built just outside the city. This plant would recycle not only metals such as steel, lead and copper, but also paper and rubber as well.Another new project is being set up to discover the best ways of sorting and separating the rubbish. When this project is complete, the rubbish will be processed like this: first, it will pass through sharp metal bars which will tear open the plastic bags in which rubbish is usuallypacked; then it will pass through a powerful fan to separate the lightest elements from the heavy solids; after that grounders and rollers will break up everything that can be broken. Finally, the rubbish will pass under magnets, which will remove the bits of iron and steel; the rubber and plastic will then be sorted out in the final stage.The first full-scale giant recycling plants are, perhaps, fifteen years away. Indeed, with the growing cost of transporting rubbish to more distant dumps, some big cities will be forced to build their own recycling plants before long.21. The latest project mentioned in paragraph two is meant to find out ________.A. what useful materials are being wastedB. how much of the rubbish can be reusedC. how to recycle paper and rubber as wellD. what kind of metal a plant can provide22. What is NOT mentioned as a part of the recycling process described in paragraph three?A. Breaking what is breakable.B. Separating light elements from heavy onesC. Sorting out small pieces of metal.D.

To get cheap raw materials.D. To make big profits from those plants.24. The first full-scale big recycling plants ________.A. have been in operation for fifteen yearsB. were under construction fifteen year agoC. will probably be in operation within fifteen yearsD. will take less than fifteen years to build25. The passage is mainly about ________.A. a cheap method to get energyB. the location of recycling plantsC. a good way of recycling wasteD. the protection of city environmentPassage 3It is not often realized that women held a high place in southern European societies in the 10th and 11th centuries. As a wife, the woman was protected by the setting up of a dowry（嫁妆）or decimum. Admittedly, the purpose of this was to protect her against the risk of being abandoned, but in reality its function in the social and family life of the time was much more important. The decimum was the wife's right to receive a tenth of all her husband's property. The wife had the right to hold back consent, in all transactions（交易）the husband would make. And more than just a right: the documents show that she enjoyed a real power of decision,equal to that of her husband. In no case do the documents indicate any degree of difference in the legal status of husband and wife.The wife shared in the management of her husband's personal property, but the opposite was not always true. Women seemed perfectly prepared to defend their own inheritance against husbands who tried to exceed their rights, and on occasion they showed a fine fighting spirit. A case in point is that of Maria Vivas, a Catalan woman of Barcelona. Having agreed with her husband Miro to sell a field she had inherited, for the needs of the household, she insisted on compensation（赔偿）. None being offered, she succeeded in dragging her husband to the official in charge to have a contract duly drawn up assigning her a piece of land from Miro's personal inheritance. The unfortunate husband was obliged to agree, as the contract says, "for the sake of peace." Either through the dowry or through being hot-tempered, the Catalan wife knew how to win herself, within the context of the family, a powerful economic position.26. A decimum was ________.A. the wife's inheritance from her fatherB. a gift of money to the new husbandC. a written contractD. the wife's right to receive one-tenth of her husband's property27. In the society described in the passage, the legal standing of the wife in marriage was________.A. higher than that of her husbandB. lower than that of her husbandC. the same as that of her husbandD. higher than that of a single woman28. What compensation did Maria Vivas get for the field?A. Some of the land Miro had inherited.B. A tenth of Miro's landC. Money for household expenses.D. Money from Miro's inheritance.29. Could a husband sell his wife's inheritance?A. No, under no circumstances.B. Y es, whenever he wished to.C. Y es, if she agreed.D. Y es, if his father-in-law agreed.30. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as an effect of the dowry system?A. The husband had to share the power of decision in marriage.B. The wife was protected from being abandoned.C. The wife gained a powerful economic position.D. The husband was given control over his wife's property.Passage 450,000 people work at Disney’s largest theme park, Walt Disney World in Qrlando, Florida. Do all of them like the job?One Disney worker explains how “cast members”are given jobs according to their age and appearance. For example: Y oung and pretty workers get jobs where they will interact a lot with customers; Anyone who might seem less “presentable” work on the night shift, from 11 p.m. to 7 a.m.Mike Cohen, a Disney worker and a trade union activist, says that most Disney workers don’t stay with the company for very long. “Y ou can make $10 per hour if you are here for 10 years, but because so many people leave, two-thirds of the workers at the park make $6.57per hour or less. ”Disney has not increased its starting wage for 5 years. Disney claims that it offers “competitive” salaries. But Cohen doesn’t agree. Disney is planning to expand and will need about 10,000 new workers-but about 75% of the new jobs will also be low paid.Cohen is also unhappy about the way people have to work at Disney World. “ We have to push as many tourists through each side as we can. I’m supposed to handle 2,000 visitors an hour. It’s just like a factory with assembly-line production, only this is a fun factory. ” Cohen says that the most important thing for the company is the number of people who are processed through each side; if the number is too small, the management complains to the workers. But he says that you never hear the management ask, “Are being safe enough? ”Disney workers also have to smile all the time. Even when customers are rude (which happens every day ), the workers must keep smiling. Cohen says: “We are supposed to make eye contact, greet each and every guest and smile for eight hours. If you don’t, you get reprimanded (训斥).”He added he sometimes hears customers saying that the workers at Disney are not so happy as they used to be. He is not surprised: if someone isn’t paid enough, you don’t expect them to be happy.31. It can be inferred from the context that a “ cast member ” of Disney is it’s .A. security guardB. cookC. employeeD. shop assistant32. Disney World is the one of the American recreation resorts while many employeesthink .A.it’s so competitive working at Disney World.B.it’s so much fun working at Disney World.C.it’s no fun working at Disney World.D.it’s very dangerous working at Disney World.33.

They have to be ready to spend many hours at home planning their lessons and preparing homework. They have to be well organized in class, patient with students, able to appear bright and interested even if they are in fact tired or unhappy, and lively enough to control a group of young people for almost 200 days a year. Outside the classroom, they may have to prepare teaching materials, to choose books to use as texts, to help organize the work of other teachers, or to organize spare time activities for students.If you think that you have all the necessary qualities, you may feel that you would like to be a teacher. One way to decide, if you live in the United States, is by joining a club for future teachers, such as Student Action for Education. Clubs like this give advice about your field, and also allow you to watch teachers at work, attend meetings and experiment with teaching methods and equipment. You could also talk with the job advisor at your school or university. Finally, you could try teaching a younger student or becoming an advisor at a summer camp for children. Any activity in which you are dealing with children will help you decide whether you have a calling for teaching.16. The first paragraph is mainly about ________.A) how to plan lessons and prepare homeworkB) how to help organize the work of other teachersC) various skills and abilities teachers needD) how to prepare teaching materials17.The second paragraph is mainly concerned with ________.A) the ways of deciding one's future employmentB) the ways to decide whether teaching should be one's future employmentC) joining a club for future teachersD) talking to an advisor when choosing future employment18.

In most cultures, animals are in a worse position than human beings. In some cases, however, people treat their pets like members of their families, or perhaps better. In the United States and Europe, there are special shops that sell clothing and food for cats and dogs.In many countries of the world, there is special food for pets. It is common for big markets in many places to sell cat food and dog food. However, in a small town in France, there is a special restaurant for dogs. Dogs are the only customers. There is seating for twenty of them. The dogs choose from a variety of dishes on the menu.Of course, in most parts of the world, pets don't live in such wealth and comfort. People treat their pets in a more practical way. People own cats and dogs because they keep away mice and other unwanted animals. Owners have some loving feelings for their pets, but they do not see them as equal to family members. In most places in the world, there isn't any special clothing or fine food for animals. There aren't any special restaurants for dogs.Pets around the world live in a great variety of ways, just as people do.21. According to the passage, in most countries _________.A) people treat their pets like members of their familiesB) there are special shops that sell clothing for dogs and catsC) animals are in a worse position than human beingsD) pets such as dogs and cats are very popular22. According to the passage, there are ___________.A) restaurants for dogs in every city in FranceB) no dogs or cats that wear clothingC) some people who treat their pets far better than they treat their childrenD) many owners of dogs and cats in the United States and Europe23.

The main idea of this reading passage is: _______.A) Dogs enjoy fine restaurantsB) A rich cat can afford to go to any restaurantC) People treat pets in very different ways in different parts of the worldD) It is stupid to have special food and clothing for animalsPassage 3What makes Americans spend nearly half their food dollars on meals away from home? The answers lie in the way Americans live today. During the first few decades of the twentieth century, canned and convenience foods freed the family cook from full-time duty at the kitchen range. Then, in the 1940s, work in the wartime plants took more women out of the home than ever before, setting the pattern of the working wife and mother.Today about half of the country’s married women are employed outside the home. But, unless family members pitch in with food preparation, women are not fully liberated from that chore. Instead many have become, in a sense, prisoners of the completely cooked convenience meal. It is easier to pick up a bucket of fried chicken on the way from work or t take family out for pizzas, or burgers than to start opening cans or heating up frozen dinners after a long, hard day.Also, the rising divorce rate means that there are more single working parents with children to feed. And many young adults and elderly people, as well as unmarried and divorced mature people, live alone rather than as part of a family unit and don’t want to bother cooking for one.Fast food is appealing because it is fast, it doesn’t require any dressing up, it offers a “fun”break.26. American women left home to work in large numbers because of_________.A) the improved living standardB) the increase in food priceC) the need of wartime industryD) the modernization of the kitchen27. The phrase “pitch in” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to_________.A) “offer help and support”B) “eat with good appetite”C) “offer compliment”D) “disagree with”28. What is a working mother’s best choice if she does not have time to prepare dinner for thefamily according to the passage?A) Making a meal out of canned food.B) Buying some chicken on the way home and frying it.C) Taking the family to dinner at a pizza place.D) Heating up frozen dinners.29. Which of the following groups of Americans are most likely to cook their meal at home?A) Single working mothers.B) unmarried mature people.C) elderly people living alone.D) Unemployed women with family.30. What is this passage mainly about?A) Women’s liberation in America.B) Changes in the American family during Word War II.C) Reasons for the popularity of fast food in America.D) Rising divorce rate in America today.Part III.

Reading Comprehension (30 points)Section ADirections: Read the following passages carefully and do the multiple-choice questions.8Text 1Albert Einstein had a great effect on science and history, greater than only a few other men have achieved. An American university president once commented that Einstein had created a new outlook, a new view of the universe. It may be some time before the average mind understands fully the identity of time and space and so on ---- but even ordinary men understand now that the universe is something larger than ever thought before.By 1914 the young Einstein had gained world fame. He accepted the offer to become a professor at the Prussian Academy of Science in Berlin. He had few duties, little teaching and unlimited opportunities for study, but soon his peace and quiet were broken by the First World War.Einstein hated violence. The misery( 悲惨)of war affected him deeply, and he sat unhappily in his office doing little. He lost interest in his research. Only when peace came in 1918 was he able to get back to work.In the years following World War I honors were increasingly heaped on him. He became the head of the Kaiser Whihem Institute ofTheoretical Physics. In 1921 he won the Nobel Prize, and he was honored in Germany until the rise of Nazism when he was driven from Germany because he was a Jew.26. The main idea of the first paragraph is _____A. the time when people know EinsteinB. the feeling of an American collegepresidentC. the change in human thought produced byEinsteinD. the difficulty of Einstein’s thought toteachers27. According to the American university president, ______.A. everyone understands Einstein’s theorytodayB. Einstein achieved more than any otherscientists in historyC. The theory of relativity can be quicklylearned by everyoneD. Our ideas about the universe are differenttoday because of Einstein28. According to paragraph 2, Albert Einstein ______A. was a famous chemistB. headed a research instituteC. was famous in the worldD. enjoyed reading about war29. According to the passage Einstein did his greatest work _____.A. during World War IB. when he was youngC. when Nazism roseD. between 1906-191530. It may be concluded that ____.A. Albert Einstein was forced to serve in theGerman armyB. Albert Einstein had no other interestsbesides scienceC. Einstein made a lot more breakthroughsin his research after the First World War.D. His reputation was ruined because of hiswork during World War IText 2A few minutes ago, walking back from lunch, I started to cross the street when I heard the sound of a coin dropping. It wasn’t much but, as I turned, my eyes caught the heads of several other people turning too. A woman had dropped what appeared to be a dime.The tinkling sound of a coin dropping on pavement is an attention-getter. It can be nothing more than a penny. Whatever the coin is, no one ignores the sound of it. It got me thinking about sounds again.We are surrounded by so many sounds that attract the most attention. People in New York City seldom turn to look when a fire engine, a police car or an ambulance (救护车) comes screaming along the street.When I’m in New York, I’m a New Yorker.I don’t turn either. Like the natives. I hardly hear a siren there.At home in my little town in Connecticut, it’s different. The distant wail of a police car, an emergency vehicle or a fire siren brings me to my feet if I’m seated and brings me to the window if I’m in bed.It’s the quietest sounds that have most effect on us, not the loudest. In the middle of the night, I can hear a dripping tap a hundred yards away through thre e closed doors. I’ve been hearing little creaking noises and sounds which my imagination turns into footsteps in the middle of the night for twenty-five years in our house. How come I never hear those soundsin the daytime?I’m quite clear in my mind what the good sounds are and what the bad sounds are.I’ve turned against whistling, for instance.I used to think of it as the mark of a happy worker but lately I’ve been associating the whistler with a nervous person making compulsive noises.The tapping, tapping, tapping of my typewriter as the keys hit the paper is a lovely sound to me. I often like the sound of what I write better than the looks of it.31. The sound of a coin dropping makes people ________.A. think of money C. pay attention to itB. look at each otherD. stop crossing the street32. People in New York _________.A. don’t care about emergencies C. are attracted by soundsB. are used to sirensD. don’t hear loud noises33. How does the author relate to sounds at night?A. He imagines sounds that do not exist.B. He exaggerates quiet sounds.C. He thinks taps should be turned off.D. He believes it’s rather quiet at night.34. He dislikes whistling because _________.A. he is tired of it C. it reminds him of tense peopleB. he used to be happierD. it suggests busy daily work35. How does the writer feel about sounds in general?A. They make him feel at home.B. He thinks they should be ignored.C. He believes they are part of our lives.D. He prefers silence to loud noises.Text 3Do you find getting up in the morning so difficult that it’s painful? This might be called laziness, but Dr. Kleitman has a new explanation. He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle.During the hours when you labor through your work you may say that you’re “hot”. That’s true. The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak. For some people the peak comes during the forenoon. For others itcomes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so, but it leads to such familiar monologues (自言自语) as: “Get up, John! You’ll be late for work again!” The possible explanation to the trouble is that John is at his temperature-and-energy peak in the evening. Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean, and which cycle each member of the family has.You can’t change your energy cycle, but you can learn to make your life fit it better. Habit can help, Dr. Kleitman believes. Maybe you’re sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway. Counteract (对抗) your cycle to some extent by habitually staying up later than you want to. If your energy is low in the morning but you have an important job to do early in the day, rise before your usual hour. This won’t change your cycle, but you’ll get up steam (鼓起干劲) and work better at your low point.Get off to a slow start that saves your energy. Get up with a leisurely yawn and stretch. Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid thetroublesome search for clean clothes by laying them out the night before. Whenever possible, do routine work in the afternoon and save tasks requiring more energy or concentration for your sharper hours.36. If a person finds getting up early a problem, most probably________.A)he is a lazy personB)he refuses to follow his own energy cycleC)he is not sure when his energy is lowD)he is at his peak in the afternoon orevening37. Which of the following may lead to family quarrels according to the passage?A)Unawareness of energy cycles.B)Familiar monologues.C) A change in a family member’s energycycle.D)Attempts to control the energy cycle ofother family members.38. If one wants to work more efficiently at hislow point in the morning, heshould________.A)change his energy cycleC) get up earlier than usualB)overcome his lazinessD) go to bed earlier39. You are advised to rise with a yawn and stretch because it will___________.A)help to keep your energy for the day’sworkB)help you to control your temper early inthe dayC)enable you to concentrate on yourroutine workD)keep your energy cycle under control allday40. Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?A)Getting off to work with a minimumeffort helps save one’s energy.B)Dr. Kleitman explains why people reachtheir peaks at different hours of day.C) Habits help a person adapt to his ownenergy cycle.D) Children have energy cycles, too. Section B. Skimming and scanning Directions: In this part, you are required to go over the 3 passages quickly and answer the questions.Passage 1. (Question 41 is based on the following passage.)41. This letter is written by a______.A. prospective salespersonB. high schoolstudent C. publisher D. manager28 Beach Road, Newtown.March 20th, 2000 The Manager, Royal Publishers, P.O.Box 446Newtown. Dear Sir,I am 18 years old, and I graduated from Newtown High School last October. At high school my main subjects were English, business studies, history, athletics and science.I would be very interested in working as a salesman. I am very interested in books, and I have always been interested in the publishing business. I enjoy meeting and talking to people.I enclose two letters of reference, a photograph, and my school academic record. I would be available for an interview at any time.I look forward to hearing from you.Yours sincerely,Jack EastwoodPassage2 (Question 42 is based on the following passage.)42. The general idea of the passage isthat______.A. doctors can produce magicB. medicine has magic powerC. modern medicine can cure all illnessesD. a healthy mind is also a cure for illnessFor more than five thousand years Chinese doctors have used needles to fight illness. This kind of medicine is called acupuncture. The doctor studies the sick person carefully. Then he puts needles into that person s body at the right places for his illness. Chinese doctors believe that they can control the body s natural forces in this way. At first, doctors in the West thought that this was just another kind of magic. Recently, however, they have found out that it is possible to cure many illnesses like this because the needles help the body to produce its own "medicines". In this way the body cures itself.Nowadays doctors can do a lot of wonderful things. They can use thousands ofmedicines. They can give you pills and injections. They can even give you mechanical legs or a new heart. Sometimes modern medicine works like magic. But there are still a lot of illnesses that drugs and machines cannot cure completely. Medicine is not only a science; it is an art, too. And in the art of medicine, the mind is very important. You will not have a healthy body unless you have a healthy mind. Passage 3 (Questions 43-45 are based on the following passage.)43. The purpose of this pamphlet is to provide information on______.A. how to open a bank accountB. how to apply for a courseC. who can go to universitiesD. who is eligible for a grant44. Who can get the grant?A. A foreign student who has been there for11 months.B. A British pupil in a secondary school.C. A British student who studies in the University.D. A university graduate who wants to continue his studies.45. A 31 year old nurse wishes to study medicine at a university. She has worked since she was 25. How much extra money will she get a year?A.100 pounds.B.155 pounds.C. 615 pounds.D. 715 pounds.GETTING A GRANTWho can get this money? Anyone who gets a place on a first degree course, although a student who has already attended a course of advanced further education may not. Students must also have been resident in the UK for at least three years, which can exclude some students from overseas.SPECIAL CASESIf a student has worked before college: A student who is 26 or more before the course starts and who has worked for at least three of the previous six years will get extra money -155 pounds a year if 26, increasing to a maximum of 615 pounds at 29 or more.Banking: Most of the big banks offer special services to students who open accounts.A student won’t usually have to pay bank charges as long as the account stays in credit.

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide onthe best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through thecenter.Passage 1Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:Effective communication with people of different cultures is especially challenging. Cultures provide people with ways of thinking—ways of seeing, hearing, and interpreting the world. Thus the same words can mean different things to people from different cultures, even when they speak the "same" language. When thelanguages are different, and translation has to be used to communicate, the potential for misunderstandings increases.Stella Ting-Toomey describes three ways in which culture interferes with effective cross-cultural understanding. First is what she calls "cognitive constrains (认知约束)". These are the frames of reference or world views that provide a background that all new information is compared to or inserted into.Second are "behavior constraints". Each culture has its own rules about proper behavior which affect verbal (用言辞的) and nonverbal communication. Whether one looks the other person in the eye or not; whether one says what one means openly or talks around the issue; how close people stand to each other when they are talking—all of these and many more are rules of politeness which differ from culture to culture.Ting-Toomey's third factor is "emotional constraints". Different cultures regulate the display of emotion differently. Some cultures get very emotional when they are debating an issue. They shout, they cry, they exhibit their anger, fear, and other feelings openly. Other cultures, on the other hand, try to keep their emotions hidden.All of these differences tend to lead to communication problems. If the people involved are not aware of the potential for such problems, they are even more likely to fall victim to them, although it takes more than awareness to overcome these problems and communicate effectively across cultures.31. What poses challenges for effective communication?A) Cultural differences. B) Language differences.C) Words with different meaning. D) Unsuccessful interpretation and translation.32. The expression "frames of reference" (Line 3, Para. 2) most probably refers to ____________ .A) the sum total of old and new informationB) the main ideas and facts that something is based onC) knowledge and beliefs that influence the way one thinksD) some reference materials that one can look up when necessary33. With regard to "behavior constraints", Stella Ting-Toomey means that _______________ .A) rules about proper behavior vary from culture to cultureB) people should try to be straightforward when communicatingC) eye contact is very important in interpersonal communicationD) proper distance should always be kept in mind when communicating34. When debating an issue, ________________ .A) people get angry easilyB) people tend to get over-excitedC) people may show their feelings differentlyD) people should try to hide their true feelings35. According to the last paragraph, to overcome communication problems, people should _____________ .A) show more understanding of other culturesB) learn the strategy of effective communicationC) be involved in communication as much as possibleD) be aware of the potential danger of such problemsPassage 2Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:Whenever I find myself banking on future good fortune, I tend to think, "Don't count your chickens before they hatch (孵化)."Germans express the same idea like this, "You have to catch the hare (野兔) before you can roast him." The French say: "You can't sell the bear's skin until you've caught him."Proverbs (谚语) abound in all languages. We use proverbs to make points more convincingly and more memorably than most of us could otherwise manage. We also use proverbs because they lend a measure of authority to our opinions, suggesting that what we are saying is simply common sense.Yet proverbial wisdom can be contradictory. We warn the cautious against hesitation with "He who hesitates is lost," but we also warn the bold, "Look before you leap." We may say that "Absence makes the heart grow fonder," but we also say, "Out of sight, out of mind.""Proverbs are not universal truths," says Wolfgang Mieder, professor of German at the University of Vermont. "Proverbs represent life; therefore, there will be contradictory proverbs."I admit, however, to having once spent several uncomfortable minutes in Japan after having come out with "The child of a frog is a frog," the Japanese version of "The apple doesn't fall far from the tree"—only to be met with blank, uncomprehending stares. It seems that the Japanese word for "frog" sounds much like the Japaneseverb "to return". My hosts must have thought that I was saying something like The Return of Frog-Boy.When people at the table finally grasped what I was trying to say, they burst into laughter. It gave me a perfect opening for "Fall down seven times, get up eight." That's the Japanese version of "If at first you don't succeed ... try, try again."36. What does the phrase "bank on" (Line 1, Para. 1) probably mean?A) To invest. B) To look for. C) To depend on. D) To work hard.37. According to the passage, which of the following is a reason why people use proverbs?A) Proverbs are easy to memorize. B) Proverbs are about popular wisdom.C) Proverbs can be found in all languages. D) Proverbs make conversations interesting.38. The two pairs of proverbs in Para. 4 are used to illustrate that ____________ .A) proverbs should be used cautiously B) proverbs can express opposite ideasC) proverbs can sometimes be misleading D) proverbs are created by ordinary people39. Why did the author's attempt at using a proverb fail?A) Because he misunderstood the proverb.B) Because his Japanese friends lacked humor.C) Because he mispronounced a Japanese word.D) Because his Japanese friends didn't like proverbs.40. What does the proverb "The apple doesn't fall far from the tree" (Para. 6) mean?A) Never give up in the face of difficulty.B) Never assume that you're going to be lucky.C) When you miss someone, you love him or her more.D) A child often grows up to be very similar to his or her parents.Passage 3Questions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage:The term "culture shock" was originally coined to explain the intense experiences of people who found themselves on overseas assignments in roles such as diplomats (外交官), international students, technical assistance advisors, or businesspeople. Over the last thirty years, the term has expanded to include other types of experiences people have when they move across cultural boundaries within any one country. Occasionally, culture shock is used to explain reactions to the new and the unfamiliar. Examples include going away to college, getting married, or being forced to go on welfare after years of productive employment.The complaints people have when experiencing culture shock are very similar, whether they are international students, overseas businesspeople, or members of an underrepresented ethnic group. Such individuals experience a sense of frustration (沮丧) and helplessness at their inability to meet their everyday needs. They feel lonely and find it hard to meet people and to develop international relationships. Victims of culture shock often become suspicious of others and come to believe that others are "out to get them". People also report a predictable set of physical symptoms. They complain of stomachaches, inability to sleep, headaches, general feelings of tiredness, mild depression, and a lack of enthusiasm for life.Many organizations now sponsor (赞助) programs to help prepare people for life's transitions (转折). Most commonly called "cross-cultural training programs", one of the goals of such programs is to introduce people to various experiences they are likely to encounter. During the programs, participants are commonly told that the experiences associated with "culture shock" are normal and are to be expected. Knowledge of what culture shock is, how frequently it is experienced, and effective coping strategies can aid in reducing people's stress.41. Who were the victims of culture shock when the term was first created?A) The newly-weds. B) College freshmen.C) People who were sent overseas. D) People newly recruited in the military.42. When do people suffer from culture shock?A) When they are forced to leave their original jobs.B) When they have to move from one place to another.C) When they express their complaints about something.D) When they have to deal with something new and unfamiliar.43. Which of the following is true of people suffering from culture shock?A) They don't trust others. B) They can't live by themselves.C) They don't want to meet people. D) They will have mental disorder.44. What is the aim of "cross-cultural training programs"?A) To help people behave normally. B) To reduce people's stress from life.C) To prepare people for culture shock. D) To share experiences of culture shock.45. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A) Culture Shock. B) Cross-cultural Training.C) Experiencing Culture Shock. D) Symptoms of Culture Shock.Section BDirections:In this section, there is a passage with 10 blanks.

Are you listening?There's a worldwide blues explosion going on. In the US, birthplace of the blues, the number of music lounges (雅座酒吧) devoted to blues has grown over 50 percent since 1990 to 1,360, according to Fortune magazine. Among the most notable additions are the House of Blues, established by the legendary (传奇式的) creator of the Hard Rock Cafe, and Fleetwood's, set up by the Fleetwood Mac drummer.If anything, the blues are even more popular in Europe. Many US blues musicians have lived there at some time or another. Europeans consider the blues a serious art form and treat these old-time bluesmen with great respect. Seventy percent of blues record sales worldwide, rather surprisingly, take place in Europe. The best selling blues album (密纹唱片) in the world right now is From the Cradle by English superstar Eric Clapton, who with this album pays respect to the inspiration of his music all these years.The blues have even surrounded the Philippines. Japan and Australia have flourishing (蒸蒸日上的) blues scenes, with many well-established local players and frequent concerts by visiting blues legend.While the explosion is booming worldwide, in Manila it's more like a firecracker (鞭炮) pop. But things are changing. There's sudden interest, scattered at the moment, but definite, cracking through Manila.Of all the countries, the Philippines should be listening carefully to the blues. Many of the conditions that faced the US bluesmen and gave birth to the blues, from the early days in the Southern cotton fields to the urban slums (贫民窟) of today, bear surprising similarities to conditions here in the Philippines.Questions:76.

His friend ________ .A) didn't believe what the man said at firstB) insisted that a man have the right to make all decisions in family lifeC) thought the marYs wife had no right at all in family lifeD) was curious about which decisions the man made and which ones his wife made13.

We can tell from the story that __________ .A) the marfs wife has the final say in the familyB) the man has the final say in the familyC) the man f s friend will follow his exampleD) the man and his wife respect each other15. Your choice of the title would be __________ .A) A man and his friend B) A loving husbandC) A happy married life D) A couplePassage 2Being a man has always been dangerous. There are about 105 males born for every 100 females, but this ratio drops to near balanee at the age of maturity, and among 70-year old people there are twice as many women as men. But the great universal (普遍性)of male mortality is being changed. Now, boy babies survive almost as well as girls do. This means that for the first time therewill be an excess of boys in those crucial years when they are searchi ng for a mate. More importa nt, ano ther cha nee for n atural selection has bee n removed. Fifty years ago, the chanee of a baby surviving depended on its weight. A kilogram too light or too heavy meant almost certain death. Today it makes almost no difference. Since much of the variation is due to genes, one more force of evolution has gone.There is another way to commit evolutionary suicide: stay alive, but have fewer children. Except in some religious communities, very few women have 15 children. Nowadays the number of births, like the age of death, has become average. Most of us have roughly the same nu mber of childre n. Again, differe nces betwee n people and the opport unity for n atural selection to take advantage of it have disappeared. India shows what is happening. The country offers wealth for a few in the great cities and poverty for the remaining tribal peoples. The grand mediocrity of today-everyone being the same in survival and number of childre means that natural selection has lost 80% of its power in middle-class compared to the tribe.For us, this means that evolution is over; the biological Utopia has arrived. Strangely, it has involved little physical change. No other species fills so many places in nature. But in the past 100 000 years・ even the past 100 years-our lives have been transformed but our bodies have not. We did not evolve, because machines and society did it for us. Darwin had a phrase to describe those ignorant of evolution; they “look at an organic being as a savage looks at a ship, as at something wholly beyond his comprehension.11 No doubt we will remember a 20th century way of life beyond comprehension for its ugliness. But however amazed our descendants may be at how far from Utopia we were, they will look just like us.16. Accordi ng to the author, what was the dan ger a man had to face?A) Lack of mates.B) Fierce competition.C) Lower survival. D) Gene.17. The sente nee “There is ano ther way to commit evoluti onary suicide” perhaps means .A) there is another way to stop the society from making progressB) you can kill yourself by another meansC) there is another factor to prevent us from evolvingD) we have to find a way to do something18. The example o fin dia interprets that _____ .A) wealthy people tend to have fewer children than poor peopleB) natural selection hardly works among the rich and the poorC) the middle-class population is 80% smaller than that of the tribesD) India is one of the countries with a very high birth rate19. The author argues that our bodies have stopped evolving because ______ .A) life has been improved by tech no logical adva neeB) the number of female babies has been decliningC) our species has reached the highest stage of evolutionD) the differenee between wealth and poverty is disappearing20. What is the main idea of the passage?A) Sex ratio changes in human evolution.B) Ways of continuing marTs evolution.C) The evolution future of nature.D) Human evolution going no where.Passage 3Rote-learning (死记帀更背),spoon-fed education, produces a brand of kids that don't know what to do when entering university. They are disciplined into following, not leading. Yet the future depends on creativity and imagination. The world needs creators, makers and shakers of the new cen turies, not the followers of the past cen turies. As the nu mbers in crease at college and university level, more students from the lower ends are likely to be thrown into a system designed to choose only learners that have proved excellent in listening to teachers.There are three ways to learn: looking, listening and doing.Students and teachers today are a product of learning by listening. The computer may not be liked by traditional teachers, who use rote-learning to put information, which will be out of date in a few years, into the heads of the students. With computer learning you learn by looking, listening and doing; you use three methods of learning, not just one. Therefore, you can learn faster.The changing speed of information is frightening. What we learn now will be out of date in the near future. So what students are learning now at school may be replaced by the time they finish university. We have to learn by choice what to forget. Rote-learning for exams is one thing, but wouldn't it be better to learn how to learn? The students at university today could possibly be doing a job in the n ot too distant future which has not yet been inven ted. 21 Accordi ng to the author, the future does n't need _________________________________________ .A) creativity B) imagination C) creators D) followers22 In the author's view, how can students learn well?A) Carefully listen to the teacher in class.B) Take down every single word said by the teacher.C) Learn all the notes by heart.D) Combine listening with looking and doing.23 What does the author mean by “The changing speed of information is frightening”？A) We don't have eno ugh time to adjust ourselves to the speed of info rmati on.B) What we learned today may not be useful tomorrow.C) The pace of life is too fast.D) The world is changing every minute.24 What does the last sentence of the passage tell us?A) Rote-learning is completely harmful.B) Stude nts may have to do jobs which have not yet bee n inven ted.C) Ifs better to learn how to learn than learn what to forget.D) Students must look into the future.25 The author's attitude towards rote-learning is ___________ .A) approving B) disapprovingC) con fide nt D) opposite to what the words sayPassage 4A man was telling one of his friends why he was content with his married life. H My wife makes all the small decisions/1 he explained, n and I make all the big ones, so we never try to have too much in flue nee in each other's busi ness and n ever get anno yed with each other. We have no complaints and no arguments「“That sounds reas on able/1 an swered his frie nd sympathetically.

These people value their religion, or their intelligenee, or their health; these make them happy. For me, happiness is closely tied to my family. I am happy if my wife and my children live in harmony. When all members of my family share good and sad times, and when my children communicate with each other and work together, I am happy.

Reading Comprehension (21 points)Directions: Read the following passages carefully and do the multiple-choice questions.Text 1For years, it's been assumed that the inside environment (环境) limits the variety of plants that people are subjected to. Lately, however, plants that are usually only grown outdoors have found their way into inside spaces. There are a few simple reasons why this is.The modern inside environment can be a good place for a wide variety of outdoor plants. Plants that ordinarily cannot grow in colder outdoor weather can be protected by the inside spaces, where temperatures are easily controlled. Plants that used to be found only outside, such as trees, have become more and more popular as decorations inside houses. Orchids (兰花), which were once only found in hot places, have begun to grow well in inside places. A large number of smaller plants have also found their way into homes.One reason that the modern home has made exotic (引进的) outdoor plants more practical is the modern use of windows. In the past windows were used less often in buildings than they are today. It is partly because of the ability of large windows to admit a large quantity of light from the sun and to keep the heat in at the same time, that many outdoor plants have been able to make their move inside.It is true that most of the plants that have been successful in moving inside have been small.Some of the best suited varieties are the vines (藤本植物). Many vines that grow in natural locations make excellent decorations where other plants prove difficult to grow. Although some trees can be grown inside, it is not likely the larger varieties can be used. Unfortunately, most homes just don't have the space to grow a monkey tree.16. The passage is mainly concerned with ________.A) the ability of large windowsB) the difficulty of moving monkey trees into homesC) growing plants inside housesD) the best suited trees17. It is implied or suggested in the passage that ________.A) the inside environment can protect plants betterB) people like to use plants as decorations in their housesC) people move plants into their houses to save themD) the uses of windows in the past were not practical18. People used to believe that ________.A) the plants that could grow inside were limitedB) the plants that could grow inside were from hot placesC) the temperature in the inside environment could be controlledD) the larger plants grew better inside.19. One function of modern windows is ________.A) to allow fresh air in B) to grow plants and trees insideC) to provide heat and light D) to control the temperature20. It is not likely that large plants will move inside because ________.A) the weather is not suitable B) they cannot be movedC) they cannot be controlled D) there is not enough spaceText 2The AIDS virus is carried in a person's body fluids (体液). The virus can be passed during sex with an infected partner or by sharing instruments used to take intravenous (静脉注射的)drugs. It also can be passed in blood or fluids made from blood or from a pregnant (怀孕的) woman with AIDS to her developing baby.Many stories about the spread of AIDS are false. You cannot get AIDS by working or attending school with someone who has the disease. You cannot get it by drinking glasses or other objects used by such persons. Officials say no one has caught AIDS by living with, caring for or touching an AIDS patient.There are several warning signs of being infected with AIDS. They include always feeling tired, unexplained (无法解释的) weight loss and uncontrolled expulsion (排泄) of body wastes. Other warning signs are the appearance of white areas on the mouth, dark red areas of skin that do not go away and a higher than normal body temperature.However, just because you have one or more of these conditions does not mean you have AIDS. Always go to a doctor or health center for a complete examination. The doctor may give you an AIDS blood test.When a virus enters the body, the body's defenses against disease produce antibodies (抗体) to fight the virus. The test shows if the body has produced antibodies to the AIDS virus. Results of the test are known after a few hours. The test tells only if your body has produced AIDS antibodies. It cannot tell if you have AIDS or if you will ever get the disease. In December (1988), the United States government approved (批准) a simpler and faster AIDS blood test. The newer test can confirm (证实) the presence (出现) of the AIDS antibodies in about five minutes.21. The AIDS virus can spread ___________.A) only from a man to womanB) among those who use drug instrumentsC) by shaking hands with someone who has the virusD) by touching an AIDS patient22. It is wrongly thought that ___________.A) the AIDS virus can be passed during sexB) the AIDS virus can spread from an expecting mother to her babyC) the AIDS virus can be passed by touching infected bloodD) one can get AIDS by working or attending school with someone who has the disease23. The warning signs of being infected with AIDS include ____________.A) weight lossB) too much expulsion of body wastesC) the appearance of red areas of skinD) a body temperature higher than a normal one24. _________ can show if one has AIDS.A) Whether one has a defense method against AIDSB) Whether one has unexplained weight lossC) Whether the AIDS antibodies are produced in the bodyD) The doctor's complete examination25. An AIDS blood test shows _________.A) whether the defense method is damaged or notB) whether one has AIDSC) one has a higher than normal body temperatureD) whether antibodies are produced in the bodyText 3In the United States a university professor is given a few months of freedom from his duties about every seventh year for travel or advanced study. This period of freedom from teaching is called a "study or research leave". Its purpose is to give the professor experiences which will make him a wiser person and a better teacher when he returns to his university.Few study leaves are interesting enough to be described in national newspapers and magazines. Recently, however, there was an exception. The public learned how Dr. John R. Coleman, president of Haverford College, had spent his study leave.At the age of 51, Dr. Coleman was determined to escape from university life for a few months and to get a variety of experiences in the world of work. He especially wanted to learn about people. People who do hard physical labor were especially interesting to him."I wanted to get away from the world of words and political matters and parties —the things a president does," Dr. Coleman later explained to news writers. “As a college president you begin to take yourself very seriously and to think you have power you don't. You forgetthings about people. I wanted to relearn things I'd forgotten.”Telling no one of his plans, Dr. Coleman started his study leave on a farm in Canada, hundreds of miles from his college. Getting up at 4:30 each morning, working thirteen hours a day in fields, he prepared himself physically for his next job, digging ditches in Atlanta, Georgia. After that, the college president washed dishes in a Boston restaurant. During the last ten days of his leave, he worked as a garbage collector.26. The first paragraph is mainly about ________.A) why a professor should be free from his duties every seventh yearB) how professors spend their study leaveC) what a study leave is and its purposeD) how a study leave makes a professor a wiser person and a better teacher27. A study leave is a period of freedom from duties allowed to a university teacher who hastaught ________ since his last leave.A) for six years B) for seven yearsC) for a term D) for a university year28. People learned about Dr. Coleman's unusual experiences from ________.A) his colleagues B) the boss of a Boston restaurantC) the Canadian newspapers and magazines D) the U.S. newspapers and magazines29. Dr. Coleman carried out his study leave in an unusual way because ________.A) he hates his university life, especially his job as a presidentB) he wanted to learn about people, especially people who do hard physical laborC) he wanted to make himself known to the publicD) he wanted to write articles about people and have them printed in newspapers andmagazinesPart III.

(30%)Directions: Read the following passage(s) carefully and do the multiple-choice questions.Text 1In the primary school, a child is in a comparatively simple setting and most of the time forms a relationship with one familiar teacher. On entering secondary school, a new world opens up and frequently it is a much more difficult world. The pupil soon learns to be less free in the way he speaks to teachers and even to his fellow pupils. He begins to lose gradually the free and easy ways of the primary school, for he senses the need for a more cautious approach in the secondary school where there are older pupils. Secondary staff and pupils suffer from the pressures of academic work and seem to have less time to stop and talk. Teachers with specialist roles may see hundreds of children in a week, and a pupil may be able to form relationships with very few of the staff. He has to decide which adults are approachable; good schools will make clear to every young person from the first year what guidance and personal help is available —but whether the reality of life in the institution actually encourages requests for help is another matter.Adults often forget what a confusing picture school can offer to a child. He sees a great deal of movement, a great number of people —often rather frightening-looking people — and realizes that an increasing number of choices and decisions have to be made. As he progresses through the school the confusion may become less but the choices and decisions required will increase. The school will rightly expect the pupil to take the first steps to obtain the helphe needs, for this is the pattern of adult life for which he has to be prepared, but all the time the opportunities for personal and group advice must be presented in a way which makes them easy to understand and within easy reach of pupils.16. According to the passage one of the problems for pupils entering secondaryschools is that ________.A) they are taught by many different teachersB) they do not attend lessons in every subjectC) the teachers are not so friendly and helpfulD) the teachers give most attention to a few pupils17. In secondary schools every pupil having problems should ________.A) know how to ask for helpB) go to ask any teacher he can findC) discuss his problem in classD) turn to his parents for help18. It can be inferred from the passage that the author is mainly concernedabout ________..A) academic standardsB) the role of specialist teachersC) the training of the individual teachersD) the personal development of pupils19.Which of the following statements is TRUE?A) All the secondary schools know the way to encourage students' requests for help.B) The secondary schools are responsible for offering personal and group advice to new pupils.C) Secondary school pupils enjoy greater freedom in communicating with teachers and fellow pupils.D) Secondary school pupils can easily get the help they need.20. The most appropriate title for the passage would be ________.A) Primary School and Secondary SchoolB) Problems for New Secondary School TeachersC) Problems for New Secondary School PupilsD) Academic Work and Personal RelationshipText 2In the 1960s, medical researchers Thomas Holmes and Richard Rahe developed a checklist of stressful events. They appreciated the tricky point that any major change can be stressful. Negative events like "serious illness of a family member" were high on the list, but so were some positive life-changing events, like marriage. When you take the Holmes-Rahe test you must remember that the score does not reflect how you deal with stress — it only shows how much you have to deal with. And we now know that they way you handle these events dramatically affects your chances of staying healthy.By the early 1970s, hundreds of similar studies had followed Holmes and Rahe. And millions of Americans who work and live under stress worried over the reports. Somehow, the research got boiled down to a memorable message. Women's magazines ran headlines like "Stress causes illness!" If you want to stay physically and mentally healthy, the articles said, avoid stressful events.But such simplistic advice is impossible to follow. Even if stressful events are dangerous, many — like the death of a loved one — are impossible to avoid. Moreover, any warning to avoid all stressful events is a prescription (处⽅) for staying away from opportunities as well as trouble. Since any change can be stressful, a person who wanted to be completely free of stress would never marry, have a child, take a new job or move.The notion that all stress makes you sick also ignores a lot of what we know about people. It assumes we're all vulnerable (脆弱的) and passive in the face of adversity (逆境). But what about human initiative and creativity? Many come through periods of stress with more physical and mental vigor than they had before. We also know that a long time without change can lead to boredom, and physical and mental strain.21. The result of Holmes-Rahe's medical research tells us ________.A) what should be done to avoid stressB) rethink educational strategiesC) what kind of event would cause stressD) how to cope with sudden changes in life22. The studies on stress in the early 1970's led to ________.A) widespread concern over its harmful effectsB) great panic over the mental disorder it could causeC) an intensive research into stress-related illnessesD) popular avoidance of stressful jobs23. The score of the Holmes-Rahe test shows ________.A) how much pressure you are underB) how positive events can change your lifeC) how stressful a major event can beD) how you can deal with life-changing events24. Why is "such simplistic advice" (Line 1, Para. 3) impossible to follow?A) No one can stay on the same job for long.B) No prescription is effective in relieving stress.C) People have to get married someday.D) You could be missing opportunities as well.25. According to the passage people who have experienced ups and downs maybecome ________.A) nervous when faced with difficultiesB) physically and mentally strainedC) more capable of coping with adversityD) indifferent toward what happens to themText 3Transportation and communication networks bring people together. Yet sometimes people themselves create barriers to transportation and communication.In some countries, laws stop people from moving freely from place to place. Over the centuries, many groups of people have been denied the freedom to travel because of their race, religion, or nationality. In the Middle Ages, for example, Jews were often forbidden to move about freely within certain cities. South Africa’s government used to require black Africans to carry passes when they traveled within the country. Some governments require all citizens to carry identification papers and to report to government officials whenever they move.Countries set up customs posts at their borders. Foreign travelers must go through a customs inspection before they are allowed to travel in the country. Usually travelers have to carry special papers such as passports and visas. Some countries even limit the number of visitors to their country each year. Others allow tourists to visit only certain areas of the country, or they may require that travelers be with an official guide at all times during their stay.Many of those barriers to travel also act as barriers to communication.When two governments disagree with each other on important matters, they usually do not want their citizens to exchange news or ideas freely. Countries often try to keep military or industrial information secret.Today, people have the ability to travel, to communicate, and to transport goods more quickly and easily than ever before. Natural barriers that were difficult or dangerous to cross a hundred years ago can now be crossed easily. The barriers that people themselves make are not so easy to overcome. But in spite of all the different kinds of barriers, people continue to enjoy travel and the exchange of goods and ideas.26. The examples in paragraph 2 are used to tell the reader that ________.A. people were not so free to move about as they are nowB. people have not been allowed to travel freely for various reasonsC. people have to carry special papers in order to travel within their countryD. customs posts make it possible for people to travel in other countries27. Which is NOT mentioned as the possible limits some countries put onforeign visitors?A. They have to get a visa before they enter the country.B. Only a limited number of visitors are allowed to enter the country everyyear.C. Not every part of the country is open to foreign tourists.D. They have to report to government officials when they come to a newplace.28. Some governments limit the freedom of communication because ________.A. they don’t want other countries know their secretsB. they often disagree with each other on important mattersC. they think such freedom may lead to warsD. they want to show their authority over communication29. We may learn from the passage that ________.A. people don’t care to remove barriers between countriesB. people have made no progress in improving transportation andcommunicationC. it’s even harder to overcome barriers made by man than natural onesD. barriers should be taken for granted as they always exist30. Which of the following may serve as the best title of the passage?A. Importance of CommunicationB. Progress of Human SocietyC. Barriers Made by ManD. Restrictions on TransportationText 4The term "culture shock" has already begun to creep into the popular vocabulary. Culture shock is the effect that involvement in a strange culture has on the unprepared visitor. Culture shock is what happens when a traveler suddenly finds himself in a place where yes may mean no, where a "fixed price" is negotiable, where to be kept waiting in an outer office is no cause for insult, where laughter may signify (意味) anger.The culture shock phenomenon causes a breakdown in communication, a misreading of reality, an inability to cope. Yet culture shock is relatively mild in comparison with the much more serious malady（弊病）, future shock. Future shock is brought on by the premature arrival of the future. It may well be the most important disease of tomorrow.Take an individual out of his own culture and set him down suddenly in an environment sharply different from his own, with a different set of cues to react to — different conceptions (概念) of time, space, work, love, religion, sex, and everything else, then the dislocation he suffers will be severe. Given few clues as to what kind of behavior is rational under the radically new circumstances, the victim may well become a danger to himself and others.Now imagine not merely an individual but an entire society, an entire generation —including its weakest, least intelligent, and most irrational members —suddenly transported into this new world. The result is mass disorientation (迷失⽅向), future shock on a grand scale.This is the prospect that man now faces. Change is avalanching（把…淹没）upon our heads and most people are unprepared to cope with it.31. Culture shock occurs when ________.A. one loses all hopes of returning to his home environmentB. one expresses ideas and emotions contrary to what he intends to expressC. one cannot make accurate judgment using one's own value standardsD. one cannot conduct negotiations for goods of fixed prices32. Future shock is much more serious than culture shock as ________.A. it concerns the problems of the futureB. it affects people on a grand scaleC. it causes mass casualties (伤亡)D. it destroys the foundation of the society33. The word "cue" in Para. 3 most probably refers to something that________.A. disorients an individualB. disturbs an individual's normal way of lifeC. helps an individual to function in societyD. arouses an individual's interest in the new culture34. One of the good measures to prevent future shock is to ________.A. get people well-prepared for the future changesB. keep people well-informed of the cultures in different placesC. make people fight against the possible future changesD. acquaint people with the harm of the future changes35. It can be inferred that the author's tone in the passage is ________.A. humorousB. exaggeratedC. ironic (讽刺的)D. seriousPart III. Vocabulary and Structure.

For the second time, you are r equired to fill in the blanks numbered from 1 to 7 with the exact words you have just hear d. For the blanks num bered from 8 to 10, you are required to fill in the missing information. Y ou can either use the exact words you have just heard or write down the main points in your own words. The third time is for you to check what you have written. (30 points)T ext 1If you are a college student, most of your concerns about your health and happiness in life are probably(46) on the present. Basically, you want to feel good physically, mentally, and(47) now. You probably don't spend much time worrying about the(48) future, such as whether you will develop heart disease, or(49) , how you will take care of yourself in your (50) years, or how long you are going to live. Such thoughts may have (51) your mind once in a while. However, if you are in your thirties, forties, fifties, or older, such health-related thoughts are likely to become (52) important to you.Regardless of your age, you can make a number of(53) that will help you feel better physically and mentally. Recently researchers have found that, even in late adulthood, exercise, strength training with weights, and better food can help elderly individuals significantly improve their health and add happiness to their life. We know much more about preventive health care today (54) , giving us the opportunity to avoid some of the health problems that have troubled them. And this new knowledge can be transmitted(传递) (55) than our generation.T ext 2Are you searching for an idealized version of love? Do you feel you love someone without(56) who they are? Then it is time to (57) what you really know and understand about love. Remember that love (58) over time. It's not(59) to open your inner self to someone you have just met, no matter how(60) to them you are.For real love to develop, both partners must be willing to(61) into the relationship and learn together. Love isn't chasing after someone who is running (62) from you, it isn't letting yourself be smothered (窒息), hurt or put down and it isn't going along with what someone else wants.(63) , so give yourself time to get to know the other person and to judge whether(64) you have to give and whether you are both (65) of nurturing (养育) and sharing a growing love.T ext 3While the computer has had a profound (深远的) effect on society in so many ways, there are many other new technologies that are changing, or will change, our lives no less dramatically. One of these is the new(66) of biotechnology（生物技术）. Virtually unheard of thirty years ago, biotechnology is (67) by many scientists to be the most important development of the late twentieth century. It falls into three main (68) : genetics（基因学）; embryology （胚胎学）and microbiology（微生物学）.Genetics is the study and(69) of genes in plants and animals. From the moment that each living thing —plant or animal —comes into being, its characteristics are strictly(70) . Its shape, size, color, intelligence are all the result of a set of instructions(71) in every cell of its body. These instructions are in the form of a "code", its genes, passed on from (72) to offspring (后代). The genes themselves are arranged on a long chain in a complex chemical known as DNA. (73) ; to be able to alter DNA is the basis of the new science of genetic engineering.(74) . Using genetic engineering, it is possible to produce plants and animals that have particularly desired characteristics: to grow plants, for example, (75) , or which yield an extra large crop, or grow in difficult conditions; or again, to breed animals that are good meat or milk producers — even to breed entirely new animals.III.

It would be an (194) (awful, amusing, astonishing, awkward) episode if the two sides are busy (195) (edit, edited, editing, being edited) the contract, as the wedding guests are still (196) (arriving, going, attending, mounting). When an agreement could not be (197) (gained, derived, reached, arrived), the wedding was put off, or more often,(198) (omitted, deleted, disappeared, cancelled)Also,(199) (not every, not at all, not all, all not) nations treat the prenups equally while dealing (200) (in, for, with, to) a divorce. For example, the British lawyers (201) (maintain, support, reply, restore) that since the (202) (surroundings, settings, environment, circumstances) of a marriage are not (203) (even, quiet, static, steady), it is the judge's duty to decide (204) (what, how, when, why) financial assets will be divided. So where the case will be (205) (published, overtook, settled, underwent) is decided before marriage ever (206) (takes place, appears, breaks out, performs).

New Horizon College English TestBand OneI. Reading ComprehensionDirections: Read the following passage(s) carefully and do the multiple-choice questions. (50 points)Text 1The AIDS virus is carried in a person's body fluids (体液). The virus can be passed during sex with an infected partner or by sharing instruments used to take intravenous (静脉注射的) drugs. It also can be passed in blood or fluids made from blood or from a pregnant (怀孕的) woman with AIDS to her developing baby.Many stories about the spread of AIDS are false. You cannot get AIDS by working or attending school with someone who has the disease. You cannot get it by drinking glasses or other objects used by such persons. Officials say no one has caught AIDS by living with, caring for or touching an AIDS patient.There are several warning signs of being infected with AIDS. They include always feeling tired, unexplained (无法解释的) weight loss and uncontrolled expulsion (排泄) of body wastes. Other warning signs are the appearance of white areas on the mouth, dark red areas of skin that do not go away and a higher than normal body temperature.However, just because you have one or more of these conditions does not mean you have AIDS. Always go to a doctor or health center for a complete examination. The doctor may give you an AIDS blood test.When a virus enters the body, the body's defenses against disease produce antibodies (抗体) to fight the virus. The test shows if the body has produced antibodies to the AIDS virus. Results of the test are known after a few hours. The test tells only if your body has producedAIDS antibodies. It cannot tell if you have AIDS or if you will ever get the disease. In December (1988), the United States government approved (批准) a simpler and faster AIDS blood test. The newer test can confirm (证实) the presence (出现) of the AIDS antibodies in about five minutes.11. The AIDS virus can spread ___________.A) only from a man to womanB) among those who use drug instrumentsC) by shaking hands with someone who has the virusD) by touching an AIDS patient12. It is wrongly thought that ___________.A) the AIDS virus can be passed during sexB) the AIDS virus can spread from an expecting mother to her babyC) the AIDS virus can be passed by touching infected bloodD) one can get AIDS by working or attending school with someone who has the disease3. The warning signs of being infected with AIDS include ____________.A) weight lossB) too much expulsion of body wastesC) the appearance of red areas of skinD) a body temperature higher than a normal one4. _________ can show if one has AIDS.A) Whether one has a defense method against AIDSB) Whether one has unexplained weight lossC) Whether the AIDS antibodies are produced in the bodyD) The doctor's complete examination5. An AIDS blood test shows _________.A) whether the defense method is damaged or notB) whether one has AIDS。
