Each one is carrying a small basket with a single egg inside. Soon more students join them-each one of them is also carrying a basket with an egg. The eggs in a basket are part of a new school program that helps young people understand that having a baby is a great duty.At the beginning of the program, the teacher puts the students in pairs-one girl and one boy. Each pair gets an egg, which they must take care of for two weeks. For those fourteen days, the students have to take care of the eggs as though they were real babies. Students whose eggs get broken have to start the two weeks all over again with a new egg.One person in each pair must have the egg with him or her at all times-twenty-four hours a day. At no time can they let the egg be out of sight. "If a teacher catches you without your egg," said one student, "she makes you go get it. They are really strict." The teachers also make the students spend half an hour each day sitting with the egg and just watching it. That can get pretty boring. But it's also something that parents spend a lot of time doing.Children say that the program has helped them understand the duties involved inhaving a child. "It was really hard," said one student, "You had to think all the time about the egg."(5)、From the last paragraph, we can infer that ______.Aa program is the only way to educate childrenBone has to think about a program all the timeConly one child grasps the purpose of the programDthe program is of help to children's understanding of parents正确答案是：D23、Mr. Liu, _______ at university in Changchun, works at Changhou Company now.

Our reactions help to determine whether our child will repeat his behavior or whether he will do something different. This statement is a very important part of a principle of behavioral psychology.The principle states that a behavior is influenced or affected by how the environment ---- people, places and things ---- immediately responds to the behavior. Perhaps without realizing it, you have used this principle many times.On the occasion when you told your child what a good boy he was after he cleaned up his room, you used the principle. When you sent your child to his room for fighting with his brother, you used the principle. When I gave Kim a cookie after she started to cry, I used the principle. In each of these examples, a particular behavior occurred first ----cleaning up a room, fighting, and crying.In addition, there was a reaction to each behavior ---- the child was praised, sent to his room, or given a cookie. By these actions, we have influenced the previous behaviors and have helped to determine whether those behaviors will occur again in the future.(2) On what kind of principle is the lecture based?AA principle in chemistry.BA principle in behavioral psychology.CA principle in physics.DA principle in geology.正确答案是：B36、— _______ —Yes, I’ll be happy to cash it for you.ADo you need any cash?BAre you happy with the cash?CAre you happy to cash it for me?DMay I cash a traveler’s check here?正确答案是：D37、—Bring me the bill, please.— _______AYou are welcome.BPlease wait for a moment, sir.CI'll hurry up.DBe quick正确答案是：B38、We go to the cinema ______ a week.AoftenBonceCseldomDusually正确答案是：B39、If you _______ me, I shall be very grateful to you.Amust helpBwill helpCmay helpDneed help正确答案是：B40、Unemployment is not the _______— the real problem is the decline in public morality. AtroubleBmatterCissueDthing正确答案是：C二、判断题共5题，20分1、All over the world people enjoy sports. Sports help to keep people healthy, happy and help them to live longer.Sports change with the season. People play different games in winter and summer.Games and sports often grow out of people's work and everyday activities. The Arabs use horses or camels in much of their everyday life; they use them in their sports, too.Some sports are so interesting that people everywhere go in for them. Football, for example, has spread around the world. Swimming is popular in all countries near the sea or in those with many rivers.Some sports or games go back to thousands of years ago, like running or jumping. Chinese boxing, for example, has a very long history. But basketball and volleyball are rather new. Neither one is a hundred years old yet. People are inventing new sports or games all the time.People from different countries may not be able to understand each other, but aftera game they often become good friends. Sports help to train a person's character. One learns to fight hard but fight fair, to win without pride and to lose with grace.(4)、From this passage we can see that according to the author sports and games are significant to our life in many respects.A错误B正确正确答案是：B2、Albert Einstein had a great effect on science and history, greater than what 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 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 of Theoretical Physics. In 1921 he won the Noble Prize, and he was honored in Germany until the rise of Nazism when he was driven from Germany because he was a Jew.(1)、The main idea of Paragraph 1 is the change in human thought produced by Einstein. A错误B正确正确答案是：B3、In 1920, barely out of his teens, Alfred Hitchcock went to work for an American film company which had opened a studio in Islington, London. His first job at the studio was writing captions （脚本）for silent movies. Within two years, he was writing scripts（剧本）and working as an assistant director.For the rest of the 1920s, Hitchcock worked on one film after another in Britain and Germany. Filming was often a rough-and-ready（匆忙做成的）affair and the assistant director was required to step in and plug gaps. A cameraman went missing, Hitchcock became a cameraman. A scene needed rewriting, Hitchcock rewrote it. Someone needed to be in charge of money when the film crew was on location, Hitchcock looked after the money.At the same time, this being the era of silent movies, Hitchcock was learning the language of cinema: telling a story－not through dialogue, but through visual images（视觉影象）. This led to his success later.When he began to direct his own films, first in Britain and later in Hollywood, he was determined to make films that held the audience's attention and kept tension（紧张感）. He succeeded. Hitchcock's ability to put you on the edge of your seat makes him one of the greatest makers of suspense（悬念）movies.(5)、He had taken up different jobs before he succeeded.A错误B正确正确答案是：B4、In 1920, barely out of his teens, Alfred Hitchcock went to work for an American film company which had opened a studio in Islington, London.

Then everything changed. During the Fourth of July weekend, residents woke up one morning to find that the lake had disappeared.Some people didn't believe what they were seeing. They looked again, but to their amazement they found they had been right the first time. The lake was simply no longer there. In its place was a big muddy hole, 30 feet deep. It was as if the lake had been a giant bathtub and someone had pulled the plug.The lake's owner, Joseph Unanue, did indeed pull the plug. That's exactly what happened. The dam that held back the water to form the lake was falling apart, sogovernment officials ordered him to repair it. They issued him a permit to lower the dam level "five feet or more."He did much more. Mr. Unanue found repairs to the dam would cost $100,000. He didn't want to spend that much, so he opened the dam and lowered the water level until the lake was completely emptied. People living above the dam ended up with no lake. People living below the dam ended up with tons of mud and lots of dead fish. Everyone involved was angry with Mr. Unanue.Area residents believed Mr. Unanue acted out of spite（恶意）. They said he wanted to get back at them because the town wouldn't let him develop an amusement park on the lakeshore. When he couldn't build his park, he just went away and took his lake with him.(2)、The lake was compared to a bathtub because it could be emptied out.A错误B正确正确答案是：B。

Each passage is followed by five questions or statements. Choose the best answer to each question or decide T/F for each statement. Passage OneMany people who work in London prefer to live outside it, and to go in to their offices or schools every day by train, car or bus, even though this means they have to get up early in the morning and reach home late in the evening.One advantage of living outside London is that houses are cheaper. Even a small flat in London without a garden costs quite a lot to rent. With the same money, one can get a little house in the country with a garden of one’s own.Then, in the country one can really get away from the noise and hurry of busy working lives. Even though one has to get up earlier and spend more time in trains or buses, one can sleep better at night and during weekends and on summer evenings, one can enjoy the fresh, clean air of the country. If one likes gardens, one can spend one’s free time digging, planting, watering and doing the hundred and one other jobs which are needed in a garden. Then, when the flowers and vegetables come up, one has got the reward together with those who have shared the secret of Nature.Some people, however, take no interest in country things: for them, happiness lies in the town, with its cinemas and theatres, beautiful shops and busy streets, dance—halls and restaurants. Such people would feel that their life was not worth living if they had to live it outside London. An occasional walk in one of the parks and a fortnight’s (two weeks) visit to the sea every summer is all the country they want: the rest they are quite prepared to leave to those who are glad to get away from London every night.(1) Which of the following statements is NOT true? _(A) People who love Nature prefer to live outside the city.(B) All the people who work in London prefer to live in the country.(C) Some people enjoying city life prefer to work and live inside London.(D) Many nature lovers, though working in London, prefer to live outside the city.(2) With the same money needed for________, one can buy a little house with a garden in the country.(A) getting a small flat with a garden(B) having a small flat with a garden(C) renting a small flat without a garden(D) buying a small flat without a garden(3) When the garden is in blossom, that one ________ has been rewarded.(A) living in the country(B) having spent time working in the garden(C) having a garden of his own(D) having been digging, planting and watering(4) People who think happiness lies in the city life would feel that _______ if they had to live outside London.(A) their life was meaningless(B) their life was invaluable(C) they didn’t deserve a happy life(D) hey were not worthy of their happy life(5) The underlined phrase get away from in the 3rd paragraph refers to ________.(A) deal(B) do away with(C) escape from(D) prevent away3.Passage TwoThere are three kinds of goals: short—term, medium—range and long—term goals. Short—term goals are those that usually deal with current activities, which we can apply on a daily basis. Such goals can be achieved in a week or less, or two weeks, or possibly, months. It should be remembered that just as a building is no stronger than its foundation, long—term goals cannot amount to very munch without the achievement of solid short—term goals. Upon completing our short—term goals, we should date the occasion and then add new short—term goals that will build on those that have been completed.The intermediate goals build on the foundation of the short—term goals. They might deal with just one term of school or the entire school year, or they could even extend for several years. Any time you move a step at a time, you should never allow yourself to become discouraged or overwhelmed. As you complete each step, you will enforce the belief in your ability to grow and succeed. And as your list of completion dates grow, your motivation and desire will increase. Long —term goals may be related to our dreams of the future. They might cover five years or more. Life is not a static thing. We should never allow a long—term goal to limit us or our course of action.(1) Our long—term goals mean a lot ________.(A) If we cannot reach solid short—term goals(B) If we complete the short—term goals(C) if we have dreams of the future(D) if we put forward some plans(2) New short—term goals are built upon ________.(A) a daily basis(B) your achievement in a week(C) current activities(D) the goals that have been completed(3) When we complete each step of our goals, ________.(A) we will win final success(B) we are overwhelmed(C) we should build up confidence of success(D) we should have strong desire for setting new goals(4) What is the main idea of this passage?(A) Life is a dynamic thing.(B) We should set up long—term goals.(C) Different kinds of goals in life.(D) The limitation of long—term goals.(5) Which of the following statements is wrong according to the passage?(A) The long—term goals cannot amount to very munch without the achievement of solid(B) The intermediate goals build on the foundation of the short-term goals.(C) Life is a static thing, thus we should never allow a long-term goal to limit us or our course of action.(D) We should often add new short-term goals to those which have been completed.4.Passage Three“Tear’em apart!”“Kill the fool!”“Murder the referee(裁判)!”There are common remarks one may hear at various sporting events. At the time they are made, they may seem innocent enough. But let’s not kid ourselves. They have been known to influence behavior in such a way as to lead to real bloodshed. Volumes have been written about the way words affect us. It has been shown that words having certain connotations(含义) may cause us to react in ways quite foreign to what we consider to be our usual humanistic behavior. I see the term “opponent”as one of those words. Perhaps the time has come to delete it from sports terms. The dictionary meaning of the term “opponent”is “adversary”“enemy”and “one who opposes your interests”. Thus, when a player meets an opponent, he or she may tend to take every action, no matter how gross it is. I recall an incident in a handball game when a referee refused a player?s request for a time out for a glove change because he did not consider them wet enough. The player proceeded to rub his gloves across his wet T—shirt and then exclaimed, “Are they wet enough now?”In the heat of battle, players have been observed to throw themselves across the court without considering the consequences that such a move might have on anyone in their way. I have also witnessed a player reaching to his opponent’s intentional and illegal blocking by deliberately hitting him with the ball as hard as he could during the course of play. Off the court,they are good friends. Does that make any sense? It certainly gives proof of a court attitude which departs from normal behavior. Therefore, I believe it is time we elevated(提升) the game to the level where it belongs, thereby setting an example to the rest of the sporting world. Replacing the term “opponent”with “associate”could be an ideal way to start. The dictionary meaning of the term “associate”is “colleague”“friend”and “companion”. Reflect a moment! You may soon see and possibly feel the difference in your reaction to the term “associate”rather than “opponent”.(1) Which of the following statements best expresses the author's view?(A) The words people use can influence their behavior.(B) Unpleasant words in sports are often used by foreign athletes.(C) Aggressive behavior in sports can have serious consequences.(D) Unfair judgments by referees will lead to violence on the sports field.(2) Gross actions are taken during games because the players_______.(A) are too eager to win(B) treat their rivals as enemies(C) are usually short—tempered and easily offended(D) cannot afford to be polite in fierce competitions(3) What did the handball player do when he was not allowed a time out to change his gloves?(A) He angrily hit the referee with a ball(B) He wet his gloves by rubbing them across his T—shirt.(C) He claimed that referee was unfair(D) He refused to continue the game(4) What is the meaning of the word “court”(Para. 4)?(A) please where trials are held(B) official residence of a sovereign(C) space marked for sports(D) courtyard(5) The author hopes to have the current situation in sports improved by ______.(A) regulating the relationship between players and referees(B) calling on players to use clean language in the court(C) raising the referee’s sense of responsibility(D) changing the attitude of players on the sports field5.Passage FourThe French word “renaissance”means rebirth. It was first used in 1855 by the historian Jules Michelet in his History of France, and then adopted by historians of culture, by art historians, and eventually by music historians, all of whom applied it to European culture during the 150 years spanning 1450-1600. The concept of rebirth was appropriate to this period of European history because of the renewed interest in ancient Greek and Roman culture that began in Italy and then spread throughout Europe. Scholars and artists of this period wanted to restore the learning and ideals of the classical civilizations of Greece and Rome. To these scholars this meant a return to human. Fulfillment in life became a desirable goal, and expressing the entire range of human emotions and enjoying the pleasures of the senses were no longer frowned on. Artists and writers now turned to religious subject matter and sought to make their worksunderstandable and appealing.These changes in outlook deeply affected the musical culture of the Renaissance period —how people thought about music as well as the way music was composed and experienced. They could see the architectural monuments, sculptures, plays, and poems that were being rediscovered, but they could not actually hear ancient music —although they could read the writings of classical philosophers, poets, essayists, and music theorists that were becoming available in translation. They learned about the power of ancient music to move the listener and wondered why modern music did not have the same effect. For example, the influential religious leader Bernardino Cirillo expressed disappointment with the music of his time. He urged musicians to follow the example of the sculptors, painters, architects, and scholars who had rediscovered ancient art and literature. The musical Renaissance in Europe was more a general cultural movement and state of mind than a specific set of musical techniques.

Lots of people hold the wrong perception that happiness lies in working hard and earning well/ good money.Many women today feel the same stress to work and get ahead and, at the same time, to nurture their offspring and shoulder the burden of domestic responsibilities.Research shows that workaholism tends to distance us from our immediate families. It forces us to toil longer and longer hours, leaving a minute fraction of our time to be physically and emotionally available to our loved ones. Intimacy among family members is doomed to die in the process.。

He stayed there for five years and got some money. Then he came back to England and bought a shop in a small town. No people in the town went to Africa except him. And he hoped they thought he was a famous man and that they could respect him. The children often asked him to tell them some stories and his life in Africa. One day a few children asked him to tell them something about the animals in Africa. He told them how he fought with the tigers and elephants. His stories surprised them all and some policemen and workers went to listen to him. It made him happier. Just a man who taught geography in a middle school passed there. He stopped to listen to him for a while and then said, "Could you please tell us a rare animal, sir?" "Certainly," said Mr. Turner.

It may be a free period or a regular wait, say in the queue for a bus or meal --- even while eating breakfast. One famous surgeon always made it a rule to spend at least 15 minutes on general reading before he went to sleep each night. Whether he went to bed at 10 pm or 2:30 am made no difference. Even if you cannot keep to this kind of discipline, it is a good idea to make sure you always have a general interest book in your pocket. Don’t forget it should be a book which entertains you and the English must not be too difficult for you.Nearly all “speed reading” courses have a “pacing” element --- some timing device which lets the student know how many words a minute he is reading. Y ou can do this simply by looking at your watch every 5 or 10 minutes and noting down the page number you have reached. Check the average number of words per page for the particular book you are busy reading. Well, this is difficult at first. A friend can help by timing you over a set period, or you can read within hearing distance of a public clock which strikes the quarter hours. Pace yourself every three or four days, always with the same kind of easy, general interest book. Y ou should soon notice your habitual w.p.m. rate creeping up.6. The passage recommends setting aside C for reading practice.A. two hours a dayB. one hour a dayC. 15 minutes or half an hour a dayD. three minutes a day before meal7. One famous surgeon always made it a rule to read B .A. 15 minutes at 10 pm each nightB. for at least 15 minutes at bedtimeC. no matter it was early or lateD. whenever he had a spare moment8. It is a good idea always to carry in your packet D .A. a book you will never forgetB. a serious bookC. several books of various kindsD. an easy and interesting English book9. According to the passage, a “pacing” device A.A. measures a student’s reading speedB. is not included in most speed reading coursesC. is an aid to vocabulary learningD. should be used whenever we read alone10. Looking at your watch every 5 or 10 minutes A.A. avoids the need for reading fasterB. is not the same as pacingC. is not easy at firstD. helps you to remember the page number you were at last timePassage2Old Japanese living alone can now hire a “family” for lunch and a few hours’ pleasant talk. Just give them a telephone call and ask for, say, a daughter, son-in-law and grandchild. They will show up at your door, and greet you emotionally as if they hadn’t seen you for years.Some 15 couples have so far hired “families”. “We have nearly 80 people on the waiting list.” Said the president of the company that offers such services, “What is common about these senior citizens is that they are thirsty for human love. We are helping them make their dreams come true.”Where once big families with three or more generations living together were common, now numbers are reducing fast. In cities there are very few indeed. Many old people see their families only rarely, if at all. This may be because the children’s bosses have sent them to a distant city, even abroad, or just because busy family members cannot find time to visit their parents.“We’ve seen many cases in which parent-children relations are not in a happy state,” company president continues. “When a son finally visits his parents after a long while, it is often just to ask for money or for them to let him have their property(财产)early.”Loneliness is not a one-way street. “One young mother came to us to ask about grandparents,” he added.The company is now developing into other fields. Their services include providing “employees” for businessmen to scold and “lovers” for young people unlucky in love. Company’s“lovers” for hire is not a service to be misunderstood, company president makes clear.“Y ou shouldn’t think about our lover too romantically,” he said, “She’s there to act as an adviser on how to find a girlfriend.”11. Old couples in Japan hire family members C .A. to ask for help when they are illB. to realize their big-family dreamsC. to seek love and comfortD. to strengthen parent-children relations12. In the sentence “what is common about t hese senior citizens is that they are thirsty for human love”, “senior citizens” could best be replaced by D .A. high-ranking officials in citiesB. rich old couples living in citiesC. respectable ladies and gentlemenD. old people13. Which of the following is not the reason that Japanese grown-ups seldom visit their parents? CA. They are too busy.B. They work in distant cities.C. They can’t afford expensive visits to their parents.D. Their relations are not very tight.14. “Lonelin ess is not a one-way street” means that A.A. both the old and the young will feel lonelyB. living alone is not a one-way streetC. young mother with a little child will feel lonelyD. one young mother will hire “grandparents” for thei r child15.

Trustworthyyear in ten China, withsome region they are also angry at the breakdown of something about it thoughit is obvious not always have the means. Malnutrition a chronic state in which the total food 第2次作业一、阅读理解（本大题共100分，共5小题，每小题20分） 1.Hunger is no novelty. We can discount legends of golden ages, landsof Cockayne, and Mefgasthenes ， statement that before Alexander'sinvasion of India, there had never been famine or food shortage there.historical records show that during the Renaissance one in Britain, and one in five in Europe, was a famine year, agreater area and more diverse climate, had a famine in everyyear.Famine is a state of affairs in which people are dying in the streets. It therefore attracts the notice of historians and is recorded. The factthat it strikes people who are aware of having been properly fed and wel1 is more important. Not only are the survivors more resilient, the system and eager to do from the record that they do is much moreinsidious. It is supply or,more often, the supply ofcertain components such asprotein or some of the vitamins, is inadequate. It seems probable that, either constantly or seasonally. It used to be the usual condition ofmankind and was regarded as normal. The rickety appearance of the figures in medieval paintings and drawings is often put down to the incompetenceof the artist: it is as likely that most people really did look like that. The exuberance with which poets greeted the "merry month of May 〃 may, in our dull climate, have had a meteorological basis: it is just as likely that in May, after six months' shortage, there was now an adequatevitamin supply. The promptness with which some sailors succumbed toscurvy after leaving port suggests that they were normal 1y on the edge of scurvy and needed only a siight worsening of conditions to get itacutely. Others will think of other examples. Hunger and malnutrition arc components, of a classic example of a vicious cycle. They lead toenfeeblement or apathy in which nothing either can be done, or seems to be worth doing, to alter the state of affairs; this leads to more hunger and malnutrition. There is good reason to think that, in much of thedeveloping world, if the cycle could once the broken, it would neverreturn.(1) .According to the text, hunger in the pastoccurred more frequently in Britain than in the rest of EuropeB.was less of a problem than it is todayc.was almost unknown in the Indian subcontinentD.was quite a regular occurrence(2).The writer suggests that famine is different from malnutrition because .A.it is a far more widespread problemB.it causes rather more people to diec.it arouses a desire for action rather than mere apathyD.it tends to affect the rich and well fed more than the poor(3).It was a common condition in the Middle Ages.B.It arouses a great deal of emotion and interest.c.It affected the competence of medieval artists.D.It is a more obvious problem than famine.(4). The writer says that many sailors in the past succumbed rapidly to scurvy because •A.they did not have enough to eatB.they were not used to living at seac.they were already suffering from malnutritionD.they caught it from other sailors(5). According to the writer, the vicious circle of malnutrition in developing countries .A.could be broken for good if it were broken oncec.has a significant effect on the developed countriesD.could extend to developed countries in the future2.One of the most fascinating questions about human behavior is each person is different from all others. The answer to this question would explain the aspect of human nature called personality. Some theories assume that inborn characteristics determine human personali ty. Many observers have hypothesized that each person has a dominant temperament, present from birth, that influences his or her behavior during an entire lifetime. According to one of these theories, people can be classified into four basic types: sanguine, choleric, phlegmatic and melancholic. Each type or temperament is characterized by a unique set of possible strengths and possible weaknesses.Sanguine people are described as the most outgoing of the four temperaments. They are warm, fun-loving, and 1 ike the company of others. Because of these strengths, it is said that sanguines often make good salesmen, actors, or public speakers. Sanguines, however, may have some serious weaknesses. Their problems often come from their lack of discipline. Easily distracted, they often lack the concentration to complete a job or follow through on a promise. For this reason, other people may not trust them.Choleric people, are quite different from the carefree, emotional sanguines. Because of their strong will, decisiveness, and productivity, cholerics are natural leaders who are good at making vast plans and motivating other people to help them carry out their plans. They are often successful in business, industry, or politics. Choleric weaknesses can be very damaging, however. Because a strong desire to lead, they can be cruel and cold toward those who do not wish to follow. They often dobecome hostile toward anyone who questions that decision.Phlegmatics are calm, easygoing people who strive for efficiency and organization. Very diplomatic and polite, they make people feel comfortable and generally help keep things running smoothly. For these reasons, they make good teachers, technicians, etc. Phlegmatics, however, often have weaknesses that keep them from becoming successful. Afraid to take chances, they may let opportunities go by. In fact, they may avoid taking any steps to improve their position in life.Melancholics are often considered to be gifted persons who possess creative talent. They are very analytical and able to understand complicated processes and to note detail. These people can make good doctors, scientists, artists, writers, and musicians. Melancholics are also said to be loyal, idealistic and self-sacrificing. However, melancholics frequently make themselves miserable because they tend to be negative and critical, and put up inflexible standards. They attach importance to everything they do, so they worry too much and see problems everywhere, and complain too much. They often become disappointed because neither they nor the people around them can live up to their high standards.Explaining human personality in terms of innate temperaments is a theory that has not been generally accepted by psychologists. They criticize it for being too simplistic and unscientific. This may be so; however, present-day psychologists have been unable to formulate a single theory.(1).The word "dominant" probably means .A.primaryB.minorc.insignificant(2).Outgoing are those sanguine people .A.who like to be in big firms or corporationsB.who are emotional and carefreeC.who enjoy the habit of making fun of othersD.who can be good businessmen(3).What are said to be the most important features of Choleric people?A.Cruel but sympathetic.B.Decisive and cold.Hostile and fun-loving.D.Strong-wi11ed and polite.(4).Who are likely to be rejected by a bright-future project?A.Cholerics.B.Sanguines.c.Melancholies.D.Phlegnatics.（5）.Why is each person different from all others?A.Because of their psychology.Because of their different background.c.Because of their various body temperature.D.Because of their innate personalities.3.Chicago taxpayers paid $ 30 an hour to provide reputed mob （黑帮）boss Joseph Lombardo with his own personal chauffeur, They also paid city workers who ran business, conducted shake-downs, went to the racetrack and even committed a jewel robbery on city time. Al 1 of this occurred in the city，s scandal-ridden Department of Streets and Sanitation （卫生）. "There's always been a link between the mob and the Department of Streets and Sanitation, 〃 said Jerry Gladden, investigator of the Chicago Crime Commission. 〃The hoods sign in and leave. They get health benefits and a paycheck. It's a common .・〃practice.According to the resul ts of an investigation conducted by City Inspector General Alexander Vroustouris, a sanitation department foreman by the name of Chits Spina used city crews to clear out city- owned scrap metal （废金属）on department property and sold the scrap to private scrap yards. In addition, the Vroustouris investigation reports, Spina, who was paid $ 20 an hour by Streets and Sanitation, was spotted driving Lombardo around the city during working hours. He even filled for overtime payments for the chauffeuring duties. Spina has since been fired.(1).The main content of this passage is about .A.that Chicago taxpayers paid money to mobsthe corruption of city officialsc.an investigation of Department of Streets and Sanitation D.a driver who drove for mobs(2).The word "Samaritans” (Para 3) refers to .A.employers in the Plumbing CompanyB.Gill and JonesC.rescuing crewD.workers in the construction site(3).The word 〃cavc-ins〃 (Para 4) means .in the caveB.in a hoiec.in a ditchD.falling down(4).Why was the Plumbing company fined?A.Because its employees did not take precautions.B.Because it did not rescue effectively.c.Because it did not provide hard hats for the employees.D.Because it failed to build the trench wall firmly.What can we learn from this passage?A.Kaufman should not walk under the trench wall.B.Gill should wear hard hats while rescuing.c.Kempthorne will use this example in legislation.D.OSHA were doing their job bookishly.4.Large companies need a way to reach the savings of the public. The same problem, on a smaller scale, faces practically every company trying to develop new products and create new jobs. There can be little prospect of raising the sort of sums needed from friends and people we know, and while banks may agree to provide short-term finance, they are generally unwil1ing to provide money on a permanent basis for long-term projects. So companies turn to the public, inviting people to lend them money, or take a share in the business in exchange for a share in future profits. This they do by issuing stocks and shares in the business through the Stock Exchange. By doing so they can put into circulation the savings of individuals and institutions, both at home and overseas.When the saver needs his money back, he does not have to go to the company with whom he original 1 y placed it. Instead, he sells his shares through a stockbroker to some other saver who is seeking to invest his money.Many of the services needed both by industry and by each of us are provided by the Government or by local authorities. Without hospitals, roads, electricity, telephones, railway, this country could not function. All these require continuous spending on new equipment and newdevelopment if they are to serve us properly, requiring more money than is raised through taxes alone. The Government, local authorities, and nationalized industries therefore frequently need to borrow money to finance major capital spending, and they, too, come to the Stock Exchange.There is hardly a man or woman in this country whose job or whosestandard of living does not depend on the ability of his or her employers to raise money to finance new development. In one way or another this new money must come from the savings of the country. The Stock Exchangeexists to provide a channel through which these savings can reach those who need finance.(1).Almost all companies involved in new production and development mustA.rely on their own financial resourcesB.persuade the banks to provide long-term financeC.borrow large sum of money from friends and people they knowD.depend on the population as a whole for finance(2).The money which enables those companies to go ahead with their projectsis .A.repaid to its original owners as soon as possibleB.raised by the selling of shares in the companiesc.exchanged for ownership in The Stock ExchangeD.invested in different companies on The Stock Exchange (3).When the savers want their money back they .A.ask another company to obtain money for themB.look for other people to borrow money fromC.put their shares in the company back on the market D.transfer their money to a more successful company (4).All the essential services on which we depend are .lends money to themrun by the Government or our local authoritiesB.in constant need of financial supportc.financed wholly by rates and taxesD.unable to provide for the needs of the population(5) .The Stock Exchange makes it possible for the Government, localauthorities and nationalized industries .A.to borrow as much money as they wishB.to make certain everybody saves moneyc.to raise money to finance new developmentD.to make certain everybodyHow much paper do you use every year? Probably you can't answer that question quickly. Tn 1990 the world's use of paper was about one kilogram for each person in a year. Now some countries use as much as 50 kilograms of paper for each person in a year. The amount of paper a country uses shows how far advanced the country is, some people say. It is difficult to say whether this is true: different people mean different things by the word 'advanced'. But countries like the United States, England and Sweden certainly use more paper than other countries.Paper, 1 ike many other things that we use today, was first made in China. In Egypt and the West, paper was not very commonly used before the year 1400. The Egyptians wrote on papyrus. Europeans used Parchment for many hundreds of years. Parchment was very strong; it was made from the skin of.Certain young animals. We have learnt some of the most important facts of European history from records that were kept on parchment.The Chinese first made paper about 2000 years ago. China still has pieces of paper which were made as long ago as that. But Chinese paper was not made from the wood of trees. It was made from the hairlike parts of certain plants.Paper was not made in southern Europe until about the year 1100. Scandinavia which now makes a great deal of the world" s paper, did not begin to make it until 1500. It was a German named Schaeffer who found out that one could make the best paper from trees. After that, the forest countries of Canada, Sweden, Norway Finland and the United States became the most important in papermaking. Today in Finland, which makes the best paper in the world, the paper industry is the biggest in the land. New papermaking machines are very big, and they make paper very fast. The biggest machines can make a piece of paper 300 metres long and six metres wide in one minute.When we think of paper, we think of newspaper, books, letters, envelopes, and writing paper. But there are many other uses. Only half of the paper that is made is used for books and newspapers, etc.Paper is very good for keeping you warm. Houses are often insulated with paper. You have perhaps seen homeless men asleep on a large number of newspapers- They are insulating themselves against the cold. In Finland, where in winter it is sometimes - 40°Ccentigrade, the farmers wear paper boots in the snow. Nothing could be warmer.Each year, more and more things are made of paper. We have had paper cups, plates, and dishes for a long time. But now we hear that chairs, tables, and even beds can be made of paper. With paper boots and shoes, you can wear paper hats, paper dresses, and paper raincoats. When you have used them once, you throw them away and buy new ones.The latest in paper seems to be paper houses. These are not smal1 houses for children to play in, but real, big houses for people to live in. You can buy a house with three chief rooms, for about $500. You can put it up yourself in a few hours, and you can use it for about five years.People have made paper boats, but they have not yet made paper aeroplanes or cars. Just wait - they probably will.(1).use more paper than other countries.A.China, England and SwedenB.The United States, England and FinlandC.The United States, England and SwitzerlandD.The United States, England and Sweden(2).We have learnt some of the most important facts of European history from records that were kept on .A.papyrusB.paperc.booksD.parchment(3).Chinese paper was once made from •A.the the grass-like plant which grows near water D. the skins of certain animals .Paper was not made in southern Europeunti 1 A.about the year 1400B.about the year 1500C.about the year 1100D.about the year 1900meansthe wood of treesB.hair-like parts of certain plantsC.(5) ."Nothing could be warmer. 〃ThewriterA.paper boots are too cold to put on at -40°CB.no other boots are warmer than paper bootsc.sleeping on numbers of newspaper is the warmest ways of sleeping D.leather boots are warmer than paper boots答案:一、阅读理解（100分,共5题，每小题20分）1.(1).2.(1).3.(1).4.(1).5.

The term situation comedy or sitcom was adopted to distinguish them from other comedy formats. Often these other formats were presented within a variety format mixed with musical performances. The emerging mass medium of radio allowed audiences to return to programs over and over, which allowed programs to return to the same characters and situations each episode and expect audiences to be familiar with them.Most North American sitcoms are generally half-hour programs in which the story iswritten to run a total of 22 minutes in length, leaving 8 minutes for commercials. Sitcoms made outside the US may run somewhat longer or shorter than 22 minutes. US commercial broadcasters have traditionally been very reluctant to run shows that run too short or too long. Thus, very few UK or British Commonwealth sitcoms run on US commercial television.US sitcoms (like other American television series) typically have long season runs of 20 or more episodes due to the way they are produced. Canadian sitcoms typically only have season runs of 14 on average. British sitcoms have much shorter seasons in comparison where there are usually 6 episodes.American sitcoms are often written by large teams of US resident script writers during round-table sessions, but some US sitcoms often do have episodes written by a guest writer. Most British sitcoms are written by one or two people, at most four writers. These various writing styles result in vastly different kinds of sitcoms being written. 1．People knew about the situation comedy first ___________.所选答案：A ．over the radio问题 72．Which of the following is true about a situation comedy?所选答案：B ．It is based on familiar surroundings.问题 83．A situation comedy will not include____________.所选答案：C ．musical performances问题 94．UK sitcoms are hard to be found on screens in the US because _________.所选答案：C ．they are not made in proper length问题 105．American sitcoms differ from British ones in terms of ________.所选答案：B ．writers and length问题 11得 3 分，满分 3 分Passage 2The decrease in birth rate recorded from the 1950s to the 1990s resulted largely from government efforts. These efforts included promoting late marriages and, after 1979, encouraging Chinese couples to have only one child.This one-child policy actually allows or two or more children under somecircumstances. In addition to carrying out the one-child policy, the state has expanded the number of public health facilities that provide birth-control information and contraceptive devices at little or no cost. Abortion is legal, and pregnant women who already have one or more children face social and administrative pressures to terminate their pregnancies. However, women who belon g to one of China’s nationalminorities may not face the same level of pressure. In general, government policies allow non-Han peoples more cultural independence and permit them to have larger families. This is due to historical trends of high death rate among minorities, and the government’s political interest in appearing friendly and sensitive to the needs of China’s ethnic minority peoples.A consequence of the one-child program has been a higher than normal ratio of males to females. Some families use new methods to identify the sex of unborn fetuses (胎儿) and abort female fetuses in order to ensure the birth of a male.In addition, reports of female infanticide in China have been numerous. The reasons for the preference for boys are complex but lie partly in established cultural traditions.Sons carry on the family name and are responsible for performing ritual obligations of ancestor worship. Perhaps more important, sons are expected to care for their parents in old age. Typically, daughters care for t heir husband’s parents rather than for their own. This care is of concern particularly in rural areas, where the majority of Chinese still live.6．___________ was a major cause of the decline in birth rate from the 1950s and 1990s.所选答案：B．Government policy问题127．The word “terminate” in the second paragraph can be replaced by _________.所选答案：A．cease问题138．It can be inferred from the passage that a non-Han mother of a three-year-old __________.所选答案：C．is permitted to have more babies问题149．Which of the following is NOT a consequence of the one-child policy?所选答案：D．Males and females begin to shoulder the same responsibility in supporting a family.问题1510．The tone of the author is _________.所选答案：C．objective问题16第三部分：词汇与语法（每题3分，共15分）1.

It was a small coffee shop that roasted its own coffee beans. The coffee shop's business did well, and by 1981 there were three more Starbucks stores in Seattle.Things really began to change for the company in 1981. That year, Howard Schultz met the three men who ran Starbucks. Schultz worked in New York for a company that made kitchen equipment. He noticed that Starbucks ordered a large number of special coffee makers, and he was curious about the company. Schultz went to Seattle to see what Starbucks did, and he liked what he saw. He wanted to become part of the company. In 1982, the original Starbucks owners hired Schultz as the company's head of marketing.In 1983, Schultz traveled to Italy. The unique atmosphere of the coffee bars there caught his eye. To Schultz it seemed that Italians spent their daily lives in three places: home, work, and coffee bars. His experience in Italy gave him a new idea for Starbucks back in Seattle.Schultz created an atmosphere for Starbucks coffee shops that was comfortable, and customers everywhere seemed to like it. Between 1987 and 1992, Starbucks opened 150 new stores —and that was only the beginning. In fact, by the year 2000, three new Starbucks stores opened somewhere around the world every day!Today, Starbucks has thousands of stores, including stores in twenty-six countries.

The simple reason for this is that there are more different ways of looking at things present in the first kind of society. There are more ideas, more interest, and more groups and organizations with different beliefs. In addition, there is usually a greater worldly interest and greater tolerance in mixed societies. All these factors tend to promote social change by opening more areas of life to decision. In a society where people are quite similar in many ways, there are fewer occasions for people to see the need or the opportunity for change because everything seems to be the same. And although conditions may not be satisfactory, they are at least customary and undisputed. Within a society, social change is also likely to occur more frequently and more readily in the material aspects of the culture than in the non-material, for example, in technology rather than in values; in what has been learned later in life rather than what was learned early; in the less basic and less emotional aspects of society than in their opposite; in the simple elements rather than in the complex ones; in form rather than in substance; and in elements that are acceptable to the culture rather than in strange elements.What’s more, social change is easier if it is gradual. For example, it comes more readily in human relations on a continuous scale rather than one with violent changes. This is one reason why change has not come more quickly to Black Americans as compared to other American minorities, because of the sharp difference in appearance between them and their white counterparts(对应的人). 36.The following factors tend to promote social change EXCEPT ________________.A) different kinds of peopleB) different points of viewC) different interestsD) different conditions正确答案：D37.The expression "greater tolerance "(in Para.1) refers to ______________.A) more respect for different beliefs and behaviorsB) quicker adaptation to changing circumstancesC) greater willingness to changeD) greater readiness to agree to different opinions and ideas正确答案：A38.According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE within a society?A) Social change is less likely to occur in technology than in values.B) What people learned in their early times tends to change quickly.C) The basic and emotional aspects of society tend to slow down social change.D) Strange elements are likely to quicken social change.正确答案：C39.Social change is easier if it takes place ___________________.A) step by stepB) among Black AmericansC) between Black Americans and their white counterpartsD) between Black Americans and other Americans minorities正确答案：A40.The passage mainly discusses ____________________.A) the necessity of social changeB) certain factors that determine the ease with which social change occursC) the way to slow down social changeD) how to promote social change正确答案：BPart III Vocabulary and Structure ( 10 minutes )Directions: There are a number of incomplete sentences in this part.
