Questions 45 to 49 are based on the same passage or dialog.Choosing a travel companion is at least as uncertain as choosing a marriage partner. The chances of success are perhaps even less.No law of causality (因果关系) exists to insist that in choosing a travel companion you will lose a friend. But it's not unlikely. The odds depend on the length and the rigorousness (严密) of the trip. Some friendships have a strength that will withstand even travel; others are by nature short-lived and travel merely hastens their dissolution (结束，终⽌).Perhaps I should make it clear that in discussing this matter of travel companions I am confining myself to Platonic (柏拉图式的) friendships. Intimate friends may well be the best companions of all. Compromises and concessions from such companions clearly spring from a recognized emotional base that colors every issue. I'll confine myself, then, to companions, male and female, who are sharing a trip solely for company. Why bother at all with a travel companion? Why not travel alone, shiftily (机智地) pursuing one's goal? Some of the answers are obvious. A pleasant fellow traveler eases the stress and tensions, adds to the delights and rewards and pays half the bills. However, a bad-tempered companion quite often brings you to the point where you devoutly (虔诚地) wish you were alone.Finding that suitable companion is something of an art and something of a gamble. But the choice should be determined by one important rule: travelers should be going on the trip with the same idea in mind. They should hold in common a theory of travel.45.Choosing a travel companion is hard and risky, because ________.A. one may lose a friendB. one may suffer financial lossesC. one may be trapped in the dangerous situationD. one may miss the chance of finding the right marriage partner46.When intimate friends travel together, ________.A. the trip will hasten their dissolutionB. the trip will make them closer to each otherC. they will find the right ways to solve problems due to their relationshipD. they will make more friends on trip47.It can be inferred from the passage that the companion talked about here is the person________.A. one can think of developing a deeper relationship withB. one can travel with merely for companyC. one can count on for a free travelD. one can learn much from48.Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Choosing a travel companion won't lead to the loss of friends.B. Friendships cannot withstand the test of any trip.C. A travel companion is badly needed if one wants to take a trip.D. Like-minded people should travel together.49.Which of the following is the best title for this passage?A. Travel and Marriage-Two Similar ExperiencesB. Finding a Good Travel Companion-a Risky MatterC. Will Travel Damage the Friendship?D. Should One Travel Alone or in Another's Company?Questions 50 to 54 are based on the same passage or dialog.During the long vacation I was accepted as a trainee bus conductor. I found the job fiercely demanding even on a short route with a total of about two dozen passengers. I pulled the wrong tickets, forgot the change and wrote up my log (⾏程记录) at the end of each trip in a way that drew hollow laughter from the inspectors. The inspectors were likely to check at any time. A conductor with twenty years' service could be dismissed if an inspector caught him accepting money without pulling a ticket. It was hot that summer: 100° Fahrenheit (华⽒) every day. Inside the bus it was 30° hotter still. It was so jammed inside that my feet weren't touching the floor. I couldn't blink (眨眼睛) the sweat out of my eyes. There was no hope of collecting any fares.In these circumstances I was scarcely to blame. I didn't even know where we were, but I guessed we were at the top just before Market Street. I pressed the bell, the doors closed, and the bus surged forward. There were shouts and yells from down the back, but I thought they were the angry cries of passengers who had not got on. Too late I realized that they were coming from within the bus. The automatic doors at the back of the bus had closed around an old lady's neck as she was getting on. Her head was inside the bus. The rest of her, carrying a shopping bag was outside. I knew none of this at the time. When I at last signaled the driver to stop, he crashed to a halt and opened the automatic doors. The woman dropped to the road. Unfortunately, the car behind turned out to be full of inspectors. Since it would have made headlines if a university student had almost half-killed a woman of an advanced age, I was given the opportunity to leave quietly.50.What do we learn about the inspectors in the first paragraph?A. They found the writer amusing.B. They never wore uniforms.C. They were feared by employees.D. They distrusted older employees.51.Why was the writer unable to do his job properly?A. He wasn't tall enough.B. The buses were too fast.C. People avoided paying.D. He couldn't move.52.The old lady in the incident described ________.A. was injuredB. faintedC. was draggedD. hit her head53.When the incident with old lady happened, ________.A. the writer had already decided to give up the jobB. the writer's employers wanted to avoid publicityC. the writer was offered the chance to continueD. the consequences were as the writer expected54.What is the writer's attitude now to the job?A. He feels responsible for the incident that ended it.B. He thinks that he was unfairly treated by the inspectors.C. He is ashamed that he was incapable of doing it properly.D. He believes that it was an impossible job to do well.Questions 55 to 59 are based on the same passage or dialog.Urban (城市的) life has always involved a balancing of opportunities and rewards against dangers and stress; its moving force is, in the broadest sense, money. Opportunities to make money make competition stressful; it is often at its most intense in the largest cities, where opportunities are greatest. Crime has always flourished in the relative anonymity (⼈所不知) of urban life, but today's ease of movement makes its control more difficult than ever; there is much evidence that its extent has a direct relationship to the size of communities. City dwellers (居民) may become trapped in their homes by the fear of crime around them.As defense against these developments, city dwellers tend to use various strategies to try and reduce the pressures upon themselves: contacts with other people are generally made brief andimpersonal; doors are kept locked; telephone numbers may be ex-directory (未列⼊电话号码簿的); journeys outside the home are usually hurried, rather than a source of pleasure.Inner areas of cities tend to be abandoned by the more successful and left to those who have done badly in the competitive struggle or who belong to minority groups; these people are then geographically trapped because so much economic activity has migrated to the suburbs and beyond.Present-day architecture and planning have enormously worsened the human problems of urban life. Old-established neighborhoods have been ruthlessly (⽆情地) swept away, by both public and private organizations, usually to be replaced by huge, ugly, impersonal structures. People have been forced to leave their familiar homes, usually to be re-housed in tower blocks which are inconvenient, and fail to provide any setting for human interaction or support. The destruction of established social structures is the worse possible approach to the difficulties of living in a town or city. Instead, every effort should be made to conserve (保护) the human scale of the environment, and to retain familiar landmarks.55.According to the author, living in a city causes stress because there are so many people whoare ________.A. anxious to succeedB. in need of helpC. naturally aggressiveD. likely to commit crime56.The author thinks that crime is increasing in cities because ________.A. people do not communicate with their neighborsB. criminals are difficult to trace in large populationsC. people feel anonymous thereD. the trappings of success are attractive to criminals57.The majority of people who live in inner cities tend to quit from the inner areas because they ________.A. dislike having to travel far to workB. have been forced by circumstances to do soC. don't like the idea of living in the suburbsD. have turned against society58.Architectural changes have affected city life by ________.A. scattering long-established communitiesB. giving the individual a say in planningC. forcing people to live on top of each otherD. making people move to the suburbs59.The author's general argument is that urban life would be improved by ________.A. moving people out of tower blocksB. restoring old buildingsC. building community centersD. preserving existing social systemsPart 7 Fill in the Blanks (with the right preposition or adverb)(Each item: 1)Directions: Fill in the blanks in the following sentences with an appropriate preposition or adverb. Fill in each blank with only ONE word.60.The case is being looked ; when we have anything to report we'll write to them.61.What information they do have is often inaccurate and loaded unrealexpectations.62.He was convicted carrying an offensive weapon and got a 28-day suspendedsentence and a heavy fine.63.He claims that his organization is a nonprofit one and he works for charity butthe table he's making money.64.This is certainly true, but this explanation can hardly account the economicdisaster the country is facing now.65."Cast this slave woman with her son," she commands Abraham, "for the son ofthis slave woman shall not be here with my son Isaac."66.He took off his shoes and stretched himself on the bed once he reached home,tired from a whole day's work.67.Sarah has to room with her identical twin Katie the time being until she finds aplace of her own.68.Employers therefore resorted the reduction of costs, most particularly inwages, in order to compete in world markets.69.Thoreau was referred as the American high priest of solitude.Part 1 Word Dictation(Each item: 1)1.receipt2.certify3.thrive4.pension5.solitary6.inspiration7.slippery8.dilemmaPart 2 Understanding Short Conversations(Each item: 2)9-11 CDDTranscript:9.M: We need to clean up the apartment before our caseworker arrives. If she sees this mess, she might reduce our welfare payments.W: Can she do that? I didn't know that! What right does she have to lower our payments?Q: What can be inferred from the conversation?10W: I got this new job working with homeless children in the city center. I'm really excited about it.M: I bet. It doesn't sound like the kind of thing you can get rich doing, but it's sure to be satisfying, you know, by helping people and all.Q: What can be inferred from the conversation?11.M: What's with the truck parked outside of your home? What, are you moving away?W: Yeah. Turns out my company wants me to head up a new office in another city. My daughter is upset about being sent to a new school, but nothing can be done.Q: Why is the woman moving to another city?Part 3 Understanding Long Conversations(Each item: 2)12-15 BDBC 16-19 CCDBTranscript:Long conversation 1:W: Hi, Roy, are you waiting to see Professor Lee, too?M: Yeah, since I got one of the five highest grades in her managerial economics class, she asked me if I'm interested in working as her assistant next semester. I'm here now for my interview.W: Oh, yes, I know all about that job. I did it two years ago.M: Really, did you like it?W: I think it was the best job I've had at school. It paid eight dollars an hour, which was three dollars an hour more than I got working at the school post office the year before.M: That is a good salary. What did you do?W: I was in charge of grading all the problem sets that were assigned as homework. I never had trouble doing it, and of course, Prof. Lee was always available to help me if I had any questions.M: I think I'd enjoy doing that sort of work. It would be very good experience for anyone thinking about becoming a teacher. W: Absolutely. You also learn how to use the computer database, because the records are kept on it, and building up your computer skills is a good preparation for lots of jobs.M: The job sounds great, but I'm a little worried about how much time it might take.W: It's pretty reasonable. It never took me more than five hours a week to do all the grading and then another thirty to forty minutes to record the grades on the computer.M: That sounds manageable. I guess you can do the work when it fits into your own schedule, too, can't you?W: Oh, yeah, you can do the grading in your room or in the library. You just need to get each set back for the next class, but that means you always have at least two days and sometimes four.M: It sounds great.W: Good luck with your interview.Questions 1 to 4 are based on the conversation you have just heard.1. Why was the woman able to give Roy so much information about the job?2. What does the woman say about the salary for the job?3. What does Prof. Lee's assistant need to do?4. Which of the following statements best describes Roy's main concern about the job?Long Conversation 2:M: What are you doing there?W: What does it look like?M: Looks like you aim to jump off the side of that bridge.W: Very perceptive.M: Now, why would you go and do a thing like that?W: Go away. You don't know about my problems.M: Hey, now. You're a student in my class, aren't you? I see you almost every day, don't I? I've noticed you not acting like your usual, happy self.W: I've been miserable.M: I didn't know that. Maybe you can talk to me about your feelings.W: I haven't been able to talk to my mom or dad. What makes you think I can talk to you?M: We're talking right now, aren't we? And I'm listening. How about you step away from the edge so we can talk some more? Huh?W: All right.M: Hey, that's great. Now let's go get some coffee.。

You will have to adjust to your new 1 , try to do everything by yourself and learn to stand on your own. As you 2 the ups and downs of student life, you will learn how to 3 problems that arise.College life is very 4 from that in the middle school. It’s the place where teenagers become adults and academia meets 5 . Ideally, your time at college will help you mature physically and mentally, equip you with 6 and prepare you for your professional career.It is a challenging process, and it is not realistic to 7 everything to always work in your favor. You won’t win every prize and you won’t be 8 with all your classmates all the time. Setbacks and challenges – like failure, betrayal and unjust 9 – are just as important for your growth as the good times. Only when you have 10 these things can you know what society and life is like. II. Fast Reading(10 points)Crisis-proof Your MarriageExperts say that most difficult marriage situations can be salvaged as long as both parties are willing. “It takes commitment, but it can and does happen,” note Diane Sollee, director of the Coalition for Marriage, Family and Couples Education in Washington, D.C. Here are the ways:Cool off. When emotions are raw, Lonnie Barbach, co-author of Going the Distance: Finding and Keeping Lifelong Love, recommends therapy. “It’s helpful to have a therapist’s objective point of view because, typically, each person just sees what the other person is doing, not how he or she is contributing to the problem.”Therapy needn’t take a big commitment of money and time. Many churches, synagogues and community mental-health centers offer free counseling or support groups. And many therapists practice something called solution-oriented brief therapy, which focuses on problem solving and can take only a few sessions.Learn to Listen. Let your partner express his or her opinion without interruption, then repeat what was said without expressing an opinion: “Just so I understand, what you are feeling is this…”“People don’t necessarily want you agree them, but at least understand what happened,” says Almas Dell Smith, director of the Behavioral Treatment Center in Bookline, Mass., and author of Stress and Marriage.Admit Mistakes. A wife in Woodstock, III., was never comfortable speaking openly with her husband because she feared how he might react. But her silence made him feel shut out. When her sister’s death caused her to retreat further into herself, he turned to another woman for emotional (not sexual) support.At first the wife blamed him totally for the rift. “I’d cry and say it was all fault. But there was another part of me saying, ‘It takes two.’ By not communication openly, I contributed to the problem,” she admits. The couple went for therapy, where the wife learned it was important to speak her mind, and the husband realized he needed to make her feel comfortable to do so. Their marriage is now much stronger.“In every marital conflict it’s important for people to see their own responsibility in the issue – they don’t make progress until they do,” says John Gottman, author of Why Marriages Succeed or Fail.Give Love a Chance. Today’s busy couples often put their marriage in a less important position,without constant efforts to strengthen it, their marriage may turn into a failure.One dual-income couple in Washington, D.C., realized that the intimacy and sharing they had once treasured had disappeared. Problems cropped up about ten years ago when the husband, a 48-year-old financial analyst, had to work long hours and make frequent business trips, while the wife, 44, was busy with her career as a health and human-services program manager. The husband thought he could deal with their problems by taking a lower-paying job that gave him more time at home. But their marital problems were compounded by outside stresses and a clinical depression that the wife suffered.Fortunately they had spiritual support from a church couples group which helped them use their communication skills. Today the marriage is strong again, but the couple knows now never to be too confident. Even so, the wife says, “we’re constantly looking to decrease the stress in our lives. We want to make sure we don’t get into trouble again.”Give Yourself Time. If there has been a betrayal, such as infidelity, don’t expect the wounds to heal quickly. “Forgiveness doesn’t happen all at on ce,” warns Michele Weiner-Davis, author of Divorce Busting.After his wife discovered he was having an affair, a Reno, Nev., man realized what a mistake he’d made. The hurt was deep, however, and he knew he’d have to work hard to regain his wife’s trust. He made sure he was always where he’d said he would be; he called whenever he was going to be late; be even put aside his shyness and started going dancing with his wife because he knew it meant a lot to her.“It took about a year for the trust to come back,” she admits. Today they’ve been married almost 30 years. “We’re looking forward, not backward.”Questions 11 to 15 are based on Passage 1.11. Experts say that difficult marital situations can be salvaged.A. allB. noneC. fewD. most12. The best therapy is one that is .A. of high priceB. with long sessionsC. with a trust-worthy therapistD free counseling or support groups13. When your partner expresses his or her opinion, you should .A. listen carefully without interruptionB. turn a deaf ear to what he or she saysC. interrupt time and again to express your own opinionD. agree with or her without reservation even though you have some doubts14. The expression “how he or she is contributing to the problem” (in paragraph 2) probably meansA. in which way he or she is saving the problemB. in which way he or she is causing the problemC. in which way he or she is suffering the problemD. in which way he or she is solving the problem15. Which of the following statement can suggest the main idea of the passage?A. All relationships can experience difficult times.B. Today’s couples often put their marriage in a less important.C. How to cope with the crises of the marriage.D. Young people can have their marriage without conflictIII. Reading Comprehension(20 points)Directions: Read the following passages carefully and choose the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C and D.Passage 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 can also 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 from working or attending school with someone who has the disease. You cannot get it from 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.16.

The doctor's complete examinationPassage 2Personal computers and the Internet give people new choices about how to spend their time.Some may use this freedom to share less time with certain friends or family members, but new technology will also let them stay in closer touch with those they care about most. I know this from personal experience.Email (电子邮件) makes it easy to work at home, which is where I now spend most weekends and evenings. My working hours aren't automatically much shorter than they once were, but I spend fewer of them at the office. This lets me share more time with my young daughter than I might have if she'd been born before electronic mail became such a practical tool.The Internet also makes it easy to share thoughts with a group of friends. Say you do something fun —see a great film, perhaps—and there are four or five friends who might want to hear about it. If you call each one, you may tire of telling the story.With email, you just write one note about your experience, at your convenience (方便), and address it to all the friends you think might be interested. They can read your message when they have time, and read only as much as they want. They can reply at their convenience, and you can read what they have to say at your convenience.Email is also an inexpensive way to stay in close touch with people who live far away. More than a few parents use email to keep in touch, even daily touch, with their children off at college.We just have to keep in mind that computers and the Internet offer another way of staying in touch. They don't eliminate (排除) any of the old ways.21. The purpose of this passage is to ________.A. explain how to use the InternetB. describe the writer's joy of keeping up with new technologyC. tell the merits and usefulness of the InternetD. introduce the reader to basic knowledge about personal computers and the Internet22.

(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.

It cannot be explained briefly, as is possible when describing drinking in many other countries. There are special laws to limit drinking, and Americans enjoy their own tastes.AlcoholAmerican laws concerning alcohol differ from state to state and city to city. In some towns, even states, alcohol is not allowed for sale at all except for the very weak 3.2 percent alcohol beer, know n as “three-two” beer. Some places do not allow the sale of alcohol on Sundays, even in shops—you may find a bar with locks on its alcohol shelves. Other places permit alcohol to be sold on Sunday afternoons and evenings, but not on Sunday mornings. In many parts of America, you are not allowed to drink alcohol in a public place. That is, you may not sit in a park or walk along a street while drinking beer, and you cannot even take a nice bottle of wine on your picnic. And in many states you are not allowed to drink alcohol while driving, or even have an opened alcohol bottle in the car. Some bars have a license only for beer and wine. Others are also allowed to sell spirits (烈性酒) and, as Americans say, “mixed drinks”. Many bars have a period known as “happy hour”, often longer than an hour, when they sell drinks at lower-than-usual prices. This is usually around 5 p.m. and may be only on certain days of the week.The Legal Drinking AgeThe legal drinking age differs from place to place but is generally between 18 and 21. Some places permit the consumption of beer at 18 but spirits only at 21. Others permit the consumption only of “three-two” beer from 18 to 21. Young peopl e therefore often drive from one place to another with more free drinking laws. In some parts of the US young people are allowed to vote, marry, raise children, keep full-time jobs, be tried in courts as adults, join the army and even buy guns—but NOT have a glass of beer. In some places people aged between 18 and 21 are allowed to go into bars but not allowed to drink.Another even more interesting aspect of American drinking age laws is that in some places people below legal drinking age are not even allowed to sell alcohol. Proof of Legal Drinking AgeIn most places these drinking laws are fairly rigidly kept. You may, for example, find people lining up to get into a bar and discover that the line is caused by a guard on the door who is asking everybody for identification. If you ask him why he wants to know who you are, he will inform you that he actually wants proof of how old you are. On such occasions Americans often show their driving licenses, which have their date of birth written on them.BeerAmerican beer, with very few exceptions, ranges from the average to the terrible. There are not many types of beer in the US—”light” and “dark” are two terms commonly used.It is therefore normal to order beer simply by brand names. In a restaurant, in fact, i t is quite all right to order “a beer”, and they will tell you what they have.It is not necessary, either, to specify quantity when ordering beer. If it comes in bottles or cans, you will get a bottle or can, and if it’s “on tap”（可以随时取用的），you will get a glass, unless you order a “pitcher”（大酒罐）. The latter is very convenient to serve, since you can then take the pitcher and glasses to your table and keep filling up without going back to the bar. It is harder, however, to know how much you have drunk.Some beer comes in bottles with taps that look as if they need an opener, but youcan, in fact, open them up by hand—though you have to be very careful not to hurt yourself. It is possible, in some stores and bars, to find a wide variety of beer from all over the world, especially Western Europe and Australia, and it is fun to try them. Cocktail (鸡尾酒)Cocktails and “mixed drinks” are much more popular and stronger in the US than in Europe, and visitors may not be familiar with some of the term. “On the rocks”, as you probably know, means with ice, while “straight up” or “up” means neat and without ice. There are hundreds of different cocktails, and there is no space here to list all the different names.WhiskeyIn America “whiskey” means bourbon unless otherwise indicated. Bourbon（波旁威士忌）is a rather oily spirit made from corn. Rye (黑麦) whiskey is ca lled “rye” and Scotch whiskey “Scotch”.WineIn bars wine can often be bought by the glass. Don’t be misled by names. “Chablis” is used to refer to white wine, and “Burgundy” to red—Americans seem never to have heard of white Burgundy.21.( ) Limits on drinking in the US are the strictest in the world.22.( ) Alcohol in some states can be sold if they are not very strong.23.( ) In many states people are not allowed to drink alcohol while driving buttheycan keep opened alcohol bottles in the car.24.( ) The legal drinking age in the US is between 18 and 21.25.( ) Americans often show their driving licenses if asked for identification whenthey get into a bar.26.( ) You are requested to clarify how much you want when you order beer.27.( ) Many stores and bars offer a wide variety of beer from all over the world.28.If you say “straight up” when ordering cocktail in the US, you mean you wantit_____________29.In America, “whiskey” usually refers to a kind of oily spirit made from__________________.30.“Rye” is another name for _______________________________III. Reading Comprehension (Reading in Depth) (20 marks, 2 marks each) Directions: There are 2 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are fourchoices marked A, B, C, and D. You should decide on the best choice andmark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single linethrough the center.Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.Nursing at Beth Israel Hospital produces the best patient care possible. If we are to solve the nursing shortage, hospital administration and doctors everywhere would do well to follow Beth Israel’s example.At Beth Israel each patient is assigned to a primary nurse who visits at length with the patient and constructs a full-scale health account that covers everything from his medical history to his emotional state. Then she writes a care plan centered on the patient’s illness but which also includes everything else that is necessa ry.The primary nurse stays with the patient through the hospitalization, keeping track with his progress and seeking further advice from his doctor. If a patient at Beth Israel is not responding to treatment, it is not uncommon for his nurse to propose another approach to his doctor. What the doctor at Beth Israel has in the primary nurse is a true colleague.Nursing at Beth Israel also involves a decentralized(分散的) nursing administration. Every floor, every unit is a self-contained organization. There are nurse-managers instead of head nurses. In addition to their medical duties they do all their own hiring and dismissing, employee advising, and they make salary recommendations. Each unit’s nurses decide among themselves who will work what shifts and when.Beth Israel’s nurse-in-chief ranks as an equal with other vice presidents of the hospital. She is also a member of the Medical Executive Committee, which in most hospitals includes only doctors.31. Which of the following best characterizes the main feature of the nursing systemat Beth Israel Hospital?A. The doctor gets more active professional support from the primary nurse.B. Each patient is taken care of by a primary nurse day and night.C. The primary nurse writes care plans for every patient.D. The primary nurse keeps records of the patient’s health conditions every day.32. It can be inferred from the passage that_________.A. compared with other hospitals nurses at Beth Israel Hospital are more patientB. in most hospitals patient care is inadequate from the professional point of viewC. in most hospitals nurses get low salariesD. compared with other hospitals nurses have to work longer hours at Beth IsraelHospital33. A primary nurse can propose different approach of treatment when_________.A. the present one is refused by the patientB. the patient complains about the present oneC. the present one proves to be ineffectiveD. the patient is found unwilling to cooperate34. The main difference between a nurse-manager and a head nurse is that theformer________.A. is a member of the Medical Executive Committee of the hospitalB. has to arrange the work shifts of the unit’s nursesC. can make decisions concerning the medical treatment of a patientD. has full responsibility in the administration of the unit’s nurses35. The a uthor’s attitude towards the nursing system at Beth Israel Hospitalis_________.A. negativeB. neutralC. criticalD. positiveQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.The quality of university life is declining under strain from the higher education, leading independent schools in Britain complaining. The warning followed survey of the impressions of campus life gained by students of school. Poor interviewing of theapplicants, infrequent contacts with tutors, worries over student safety, and even complaint over the food were all seen as symptoms of the pressure on universities. Head teachers said that standards could well drop if the squeeze on universities budgets continued. A survey was carried out because of fears that the level of green area in universities had declined. A great number of student suicides had raised concerns among head teachers.Although most of the 6,000 students surveyed were enjoying university life, almost a third were less than satisfied with their course. About one in ten had serious financial problems and some give alarming accounts of conditions around their halls of their residence. Incidents mentioned included a fatal stabbing and shooting outside a hall of residence, the petrol bombing of cars near another residence, and two racist attacks. Nine percent of women and seven percent of men rated security as unsatisfactory in the area where they lived. Stanford University had the lowest satisfaction rating. Lancaster and Kinston universities were rated the safest.The survey confirmed head teachers’ fears about contact between students and tutors slipping, with a quarter of the students seeing their tutors only every three weeks. New students, used to regular contact with their teachers, found it hard to adapt to the change. Interview techniques were a cause for concern, with the school calling for more training of the university staff involved in admissions. Some headmasters complained that interviews were increasingly “odd”. One greeted an applicant by throwing him an apple. Another interview lasted only three minutes. About a quarter of the students found the workload at university heavier than they had expected. Imperial College London, Oxford, and Cambridge universities registered by far the highest workload. There were differences between subjects, with architectures, engineering, veterinary science, medicine and some science subjects demanding the most work. Veterinary science was nevertheless the most popular subject, followed by physiotherapy and history of art. General engineering, economics, computing and sociology were the least popular. The survey also confirmed that previous concerns about possible racial prejudice in admissions to medical courses. Applicants with names suggesting an ethnic minority background had been rejected with qualificationsas good as successful white candidates.36. According to the passage, the main problem existing in the interview of admission is that _______.A. the interviewers often greeted the applicants by throwing an appleB. the interviewers spent only a few minutes interviewing an applicantC. the interviewers were not knowledgeable to interview the applicantsD. the interviewers lack enough training and interview techniques37. From the passage, we can learn that________.A. most students surveyed were satisfied with university lifeB. many head teachers were killed by the students in universityC. veterinary science was popular for its workload was lightD. students were worried about the squeeze on university budgets38. From the passage, we can see that the author’s description of the quality ofuniversity life in Britain is ________.A. objectiveB. subjectiveC. pessimisticD. arbitrary39. Among the following, which is the proper statement of the st atus of the students’ security?A. Fatal stabbing and shooting often happened outside the hall of residenceB. The students in British were so worried about their security in universityC. Students were often watchful against people around their halls of residenceD. The status of students’ security in Stanford University might be awful40. From the passage, we can infer that in high school, students ________.A. were never worried about their securityB. had regular contact with their tutorsC. were often dissatisfied with their courseD. were worried about their entrance examIV.

In particular female athletes often have this problem. Even 52 low levels of exercise can also cause this problem. Associate Professor Roseanne M. Lyle carried out a study on 62 formerly inactive females. Her work indicated that such women showed a decrease in iron levels. Some women bounced back with the consumption of additional meat or taking iron 53 . Iron deficiency affects many women. The ratio of exercising women with this deficiency, however, is far higher. This is made worse by health-conscious women who often eat a 54 diet which is not iron-rich enough. Women do not usually eat the recommended daily 55 of iron.

Reading prehension(阅读理解：每题选择一个最佳选项)[A]This year some twenty-three hundred teen-agers(young people aged from 13-19)from all over the world will spend about ten months in U. S. homes. They will attend U. S. schools, meet U. S. teen-agers, and form impressions of the real America. At the same time, about thirteen hundred American teen-agers will go to other countries to learn new languages and gain a new understanding of the rest of the world.Here is a two-way student exchange(交换)in action. Fred, nineteen, spent last year in Germany with George's family. In turn, George’s son Mike spent a year in Fred's home in America.Fred, a lively young man, knew little German when he arrived, but after two months' study, the language began to e to him. School was pletely different from what he had expected-much harder. Students rose respectfully when the teacher entered the room. They took fourteen subjects instead of the six that are usual in the United States. There were almost no outside activities(活动).Family life, too, was different. The father's word was law, and all activities were around the family rather than the individual(个人). Fred found the food too simple at first. Also, he missed having a car."Back home, you pick up some friends in a car and go out and have a good time. In Germany, you walk, but you soon learn to like it."At the same time, in America, Mike, a friendly German boy, was also forming his idea. "I suppose I should criticize(批评)American schools", he says. "It is far too easy by our level. But I have to say that I like it very much. In Germany we do nothing but study. Here we take part in many outside activities. I think that maybe you schools are better in training for citizens(公民). There ought to be some middle ground between the two. "1. This year _____ teen-agers will take part in the exchange program between America and other countries.A. twenty three hundredB. thirteen hundredC. over three thousandD. less than two thousand2. The whole exchange program is mainly to _____ .A. help teen-agers in other countries know the real America.B. send students in America to travel in GermanyC. let students learn something about other countriesD. have teen-agers learn new languages3. Fred and Mike agreed that _____ .A. American food tasted better than German foodB. German schools were harder than American schoolsC. Americans and Germans were both friendlyD. There were more cars on the streets in America4. What is particular in American schools is that _____ .A. there is some middle ground between the two teaching buildingsB. there are a lot of after-school activitiesC. students usually take fourteen subjects in allD. students go outside to enjoy themselves in a car5. After experiencing the American school life, Mike thought _____ .A. a better education should include something good from both America and GermanyB. German schools trained students to be better citizensC. American schools were not as good as German schoolsD. the easy life in the American school was more helpful to students[B]In order to learn a foreign language well, it is necessary to overe the fear of making mistakes. If the primary goal of language use is munication, the mistakes are secondary considerations that may be dealt with gradually as awareness of those mistakes increases. On the other hand, students should not ignore their mistakes. The language learner may observe how native speakers express themselves, and how nativeexpressions differ from the way the learner might say them. For example, a Spanish speaker who has been saying " I do it" to express willingness to do something in the immediate future, but, by interacting with native speakers of English, you may observe that native speakers actually say "I'll do it." The resulting discrepancy(差异) can serve as a basis for the student to modify his way of using the present tense in English. But a student who is unwilling to interact in the first place would lose this opportunity to learn by trial and error.6. According to the passage, foreign language students should not worry too much about making mistakes because ___________.A. native speakers will ignore their mistakesB. munication is the primary goal of language learningC. everyone makes mistakes when trying to municate in a strange languageD. native speakers like foreign students who try to learn their language7. According to the passage, the present tense in English is ___________.A. not used to express a desire to do something in the immediate futureB. used with some verbs but not with others to express future intentionC. basically the same in English as it is in SpanishD. not the most difficult problem for foreign students8. The author thinks that language learners can reduce the number of their mistakes by ___________.A. asking native speakers for explanationsB. reading good books in the foreign languageC. paring their speech with that of native speakersD. speaking without regard to native speakers9. The passage implies that foreign students who do not interact with native speakers will not ___________.A. learn very much about the foreign cultureB. learn about the history of the foreign languageC. have to worry about making mistakesD. take advantage of available language models10. The author's major conclusion about the function of mistakes in foreign language learning is that___________.A. mistake are not important in the process of learning a languageB. learners are often very afraid of making mistakesC. making mistakes can help the learner discover the rules of the languageD. mistakes do not interfere with munication[C]After a busy day of work and play, the body needs to rest. Sleep is necessary for good health. During this time, the body recovers from the activities of the previous day. The rest that you get while sleeping enables your body to prepare itself for the next day.There are four levels of sleep, each being a little deeper than the one before. As you sleep, your muscles relax little by little. Your heart beats more slowly, and your brain slows down. After you reach the fourth level, your body shifts back and forth（来回地）from one level of sleep to the other.Although your mind slows down, from time to time you will dream. Scientists who study sleep state that when dreaming occurs, your eyeballs begin to move more quickly (although your eyelids are closed). This stage of sleep is called REM, which stands for rapid eye movement.If you have trouble falling asleep, some people remend breathing very slowly and very deeply. Other people believe that drinking warm milk will help make you drowsy（昏昏欲睡的）. There is also an old suggestion that counting sheep will put you to sleep!11. A good title for this passage is ____________.A. SleepB. Good HealthC. DreamsD. Work and Rest12. The word "drowsy" in the last paragraph means ____________.A. sickB. stand upC. a little sleepyD. asleep13. The passage suggests that not getting enough sleep might make you ____________.A. dream more oftenB. have poor healthC. nervousD. breathe quickly14. During REM, ____________.A. your eyes move quicklyB. you dreamC. you are restlessD. both A and B15. The average number of hours of sleep that an adult needs is ____________.A. approximately six hoursB. around ten hoursC. about eight hoursD. not stated here[D]How much living space does a person need? What happens when his space requirements are not adequately met? Sociologists and psychologists are conducting experiments on rats to try to determine the effects of overcrowded conditions on man. Recent studies have shown that the behavior of rats is greatly affected by space. If rats have adequate living space, they eat well, sleep well, and reproduce well. However, if their living conditions bee too crowded, their behavior patterns and even their health perceptibly(可感知地) change. They cannot sleep and eat well, and signs of fear and tension bee obvious. The more crowed they are, the more they tend to bite each other and even kill each other. Thus for rats, population and violence are directly related. Is this a natural law for human society as well? Is adequate space not only desirable, but essential for human survival?16. This passage is mainly about _________.A. living space and behaviorB. population and living conditionsC. interesting experiments on ratsD. a natural law for human society17. What is the purpose of the experiments described in the passage?A. To determine how much living space a rat needs.B. To see what happens when rats live in a limited space.C. To know the likely effects of inadequate living space on human beings.D. to find out the relationship between population and living conditions.18. Which is NOT a result of being too crowded for rats?A. They bee nervous.B. they cannot get enough rest.C. They bee less active.D. They eat less.19. The passage suggests that overcrowded conditions _________.A. are directly related with populationB. may cause an increase in violenceC. may lead to high birth rateD. may bring about pollution problems20. The author seems to imply that _________.A. human society is very similar to that of ratsB. birth control is essential fro a better lifeC. efforts should be made to improve living conditionsD. rats are not social animals[E]The United States is full of automobiles. There are still many families without cars, but some families have two or ever more. However, cars are used for more than pleasure. There are a necessary part of life.Cars are used for business. They are driven to offices and factories by workers who have no other way to get to their jobs. When salesmen are sent to different parts of the city, they have to drive in order to carry their products. Farmers have to drive into the city in order to get supplies.Sometimes small children must be driven to school. In some cities school buses are provided only when children live more than a mile from the school. When the children are too young to walk that far, their mothers take turn driving them to school. One mother drives on Monday, taking her own children and the neighbors' children as well. Another mother drives on Tuesday, another on Wednesday, and so on. This is called forming a car poll. Men also form car pools, with three or four men taking turns driving to the place where they all work.More car pools should be formed in order to put fewer automobiles on the road and to use less gasoline. Parking is great problem, and so is the traffic in and around cities. Too many cars are being driven. Something will have to be done about the use of cars.21. Which is NOT true according to the passage?A. Each American family has got at least one car.B. Some American families have got more than one car.C. Cars are very mon in the United States.D. Americans do not use cars for pleasure only.22. According to the passage, children must be taken to school by car when ________.A. their homes are over one mile away from their schoolB. there are no school buses available and the school is too far away for thechildren to go to on footC. there are a number of children in the neighborhood and their families have theirown carsD. the children are too young to walk23.

Three or four people who drive in turns to the office or the factory where they all work.D. Parents who drive their oven children to school in turns.24. What does the author think of forming car pool?A. It is a good practice.B. It is good only for mothers taking children to schoolC. It will cause parking problems.D.

There are too many cars in the streets and on the roads.C. There are not enough cars to go around.D. Some families still do not have their own cars.[F]A four-year study conducted by the Infant(婴儿) Testing Center in San Francisco, California, suggests that babies feel more fortable around other babies than with strange adults. According to the study, babies benefit by being with their fellow infants daily. Whereas a baby might show fear of an adult stranger, he is likely to smile and reach out for an unfamiliar infant. By the time babies are one year old, they have begun to form friendships of a sort.The above findings, based on observation of 100 babies aged three months to three years, might prove interesting to working parents who must find day care for their babies. Family care in a private home, with several babies together, is probably the idea way to care for babies under three. Dr. Benjamin Spock, well-known pediatrician(儿科医生) and author of books about babies, supports the idea. He says that family day care is better in theory than hiring a housekeeper or a babysitter.11. What would be a good title for the passage?A. How to Test InfantsB. Parents and ChildrenC. Choosing a BabysitterD. Day Care for Babies12. A baby is likely to feel more at ease with _________.A. a housekeeperB. an infantC. an adult strangerD. teenage children13. What does Dr. Benjamin Spock do?A. He remends babysitters.B. He writes baby books.C. He conducts studies on infants.D. He directs a testing center.14. According to the passage, how should working parents provide care for their babies?A. Find a private home with other babies.B. Take their babies with them to work.C. Hire an adult to e into the home.D. Search for a large nursery with a good reputation.15. The author is talking to _________.A. working parentsB. researchers on infantsC. pediatriciansD. babies under three[G]It is a matter of mon observation that although ines keep going up over the years, people never seem to bee much better off! Prices are rising continuously. This condition is termed one of inflation; the money supply is being inflated so that each unit of it bees less valuable. People have grown accustomed in recent years to higher and higher rates of inflation. What could be bought ten years ago for one dollar now costs well over two dollars. Present indications are that this rate of inflation is tending to rise rather than to fall. If in the real world our money ines go up at the same rate as prices one might think that inflation does not matter. But it does. When money is losing value it lacks one of the qualities of a good money - stability of value. It is no longer acceptable as a store of value; and it bees an unsuitable standard of deferred(延迟)payments. Nobody wants to hold a wasting asset(资产), so people try to get rid of money as quickly as possible. Inflation therefore stimulates consumer spending, and prevents people from saving.21. Inflation is a situation in which __________.A. we find our money increase in its valueB. employment no longer bees a problemC. people can always find better paying jobsD. money keeps losing its value22. According to the author, inflation __________.A. seldom happensB. is very mon at the present timeC. has bee rare in recent yearsD. is just reasonable23. According to the passage, if ines and prices rise together __________.A. money will hold its valueB. inflation poses no problemC. inflation will remain to be a problemD. the business will prosper24. When money loses its value __________.A. its rate against gold will be kept at the same levelB. it is no longer stableC. goods will lose their valueD. ines will keep rising25. In a period of inflation, people are likely to __________.A. invest heavily on the stock marketB. save moneyC. hold on to money as a dependable assetD. spend money and not bother(烦恼) to save[H]Sports and games make our bodies strong, prevent us from getting too fat, and keep us healthy. But these are not their only use. They give us valuable practice in making eyes, brain and muscles work together. In tennis, our eyes see the ball ing, judge its speed and direction and pass this information on to the brain. The brain then has to decide what to do, and to send its orders to the muscles of the arms, legs, and so on, so that the ball is met and hit back where it ought to go. All this must happen with very great speed, and only those who have had a lot of practice at tennis can carry out this plicated chain of events successfully. For those who work with their brains most of the day, the practice of such skills is especially useful.Sports and games are also very useful for character training. In their lessons at school, boys and girls may learn about such virtues as unselfishness, courage, discipline and love of one's country; but what is learned in books cannot have the same deep effect on a child's character as what is learned by experience. The ordinary day-school cannot give much practical training in living, because most of the pupil's time is spent in classes, studying lessons. So it is what the pupils do in their spare time that really prepares them to take their place in society as citizens when they grow up. If each of them learns to work for his society as citizens when they grow up. If each of them learns to work for his team and not for himself on the football field, he will later find it natural to work for the good of his country instead of only for his own benefit.26. When we play tennis we have to _________.A. use, first, our eyes, then the brain and finally the musclesB. make our eyes, brain and muscles work almost at the same timeC. use mainly the arms and legs to hitD. use mainly the muscles so that the ball is met and hit back27. The "plicated chain of events" refers to _________.A. the passing of information and making of decisionsB. the meeting and hitting back of the ballC. the coordinated(协调的) movements of our eyes, brain and musclesD. a lot of practice before playing tennis28. By character-training, the author means that sports and games can help children _________.A. live a better life when they grow upB. know letter how to behave properly in their future lifeC. understand better the virtues they learn in booksD. All of the above29. According to the author, a child's character can be most deeply influenced by _________.A. what he does out of classB. what he learns in booksC. his place in societyD. his lessons at school30. What is of the greatest importance to a football team isA. its membersB. its team workC. the football fieldD. the climate[I]My formula for staying young is simple: concentrate on the part of you that's young and growing - your brain. Keep your mind awake and you'll stay young all over. These are exciting times. Take an interest in the world around you, and make a point of learning at least one new thing every day.Regardless of your age, it's not too late to make your life more interesting. I know a housewife with no previous knowledge who made herself into an outstanding industrial designer; I know a retired electrical engineer who has bee a highly paid ceramic artist.Get over the notion that you are ever too old to go back to school. I know a man who entered medical college at 70. He got his degree with honors and became an eminent physician. Another man went to law school at 71 and his now an active lawyer.In spite of years, staying young is easy for those who live in the future. You can do it if you care enough to try. Keep your mind awake and active; that's the only youth elixir(万灵药) guaranteed to work.31. The statement that our brain remains young and growing regardless of age is __________.A. an impossibilityB. a scientific factC. a suppositionD. a ridiculous conclusion32. It is wrong to __________.A. think oneself too old to go back to schoolB. keep one's mind awakeC. try to stay youngD. get one's degree with honor33. The passage states that a man who entered college at 70 became __________.A. an active lawyerB. an electric engineerC. a distinguished doctorD. a highly paid ceramic artist34. The only youth elixir is to __________.A. go back to schoolB. forget one's own ageC. keep in touch with young peopleD. keep one's mind awake and active35. All of the following statement are true EXCEPT that __________.A. human brain never gets old with ageB. every person should take up a new occupation when he bees oldC. staying young is not difficult if one is willing to tryD. there is always something to learn if you have an interest in what's going on around youIV. Translation(翻译：把下列英文翻译成汉语)[A]When I was growing up, I was embarrassed to be seen with my father. He was severely crippled and very short, and when we walked together, his hand on my arm for balance, people would stare. I would inwardly struggle at the unwanted attention. If he ever noticed or was bothered, he never let on. It was difficult to coordinate our steps---his halting, mine impatient---and because of that, we didn’t say much as we went along. But as we started out, he always said, “You set the pace, I will try to adjust to you.”[B]Alone now, the widow reads considerably. She used to underline favorite passages to share with her husband. Now, in a notebook, she stores quotations like this one from Elizabeth Jolley’s Cabin Fever: “I experience again the deep-felt wish to be part of a married couple, to sit by the fire in winter withthe man who is my husband. So intense is this wish that if I write the word husband on a piece of paper, my eyes fill with tears.”。

Of them the most talked about is perhaps Blue Beard. He was the strangest of strange mixtures of bravery and cruelty, of stupidity and brilliance. But the one thing that set him apart from all others was his pretentious love of culture. He liked to encode his directions to places where he has hidden his treasures in confusing road maps or verse so poorly written that no one can understand it. The result is most of his treasures still lie buried undiscovered. For although people have been known to have got hold of some of his road maps, none have been able to read them.The most famous of his road maps is what our story is all about. The notes accompanying the map read as follows: "This is the most beautiful island in the Mediterranean, on it lie buried some of my most valuable treasures.Around 100 years after the death of Blue beard, the map was obtained by a band of pirates,who arrived on the island with no difficulty. But to their disappointment, they did not find the treasures.The treasures were forgotten for another 100 years when a mathematician acquired the map by accident. For three days and nights he thought and thought before he suddenly jumped and let out a cry: "Eureka!"Unfortunately the mathematician did not find the treasure either, earthquake the island had been submerged.It was with a keen regret that the mathematician died, but he left us with a new geometry, without which man wouldn't have landed on the moon! Little did he think, however, that the knowledge he left behind is immeasurably more valuable than the treasures.1. Blue Beard could be described as all the following except______.A) rave B) merciless C) silly D) humorous2. The mathematician mentioned was probably______.A) around 100 years younger than Blue BeardB) around 100 years older than Blue BeardC) around 200 years younger than Blue BeardD) around 200 years older than Blue Beard3. The mathematician did not End the treasure because______.A) the island was difficult to findB) the island was under waterC) he made a mistakeD) the island had already been explored4. What cm be inferred from the passage is that the treasures______.A) are still in the same placeB) do not exist any moreC) have been found by someone elseD) are under water now5. According to the writer, the mathematician's greatest contribution to man is ______.A) he helped man End the islandB) he taught man how to and treasuresC) he made a new branch of knowledgeD) he found the way to locate treasuresPassage 2The human brain contains 10 thousand million cells and each of these may have a thousand connections. Such enormous numbers used to discourage us and cause us to dismiss the possibility of making a machine with humanlike ability, but now that we have grown used to moving forward at such a pace we can be less sure. Quite soon, in only 10 or 20 years perhaps, we will be able to assemble a machine as complex as the human brain, and if we can we will. It may then take us a long time to render it intelligent by loading in the right software (软件) or by altering the architecture but that too will happen.I think it certain that in decades, not centuries, machines of silicon (硅) will arise first to rival and then exceed their human ancestors. Once they exceed us they will be capable of their own design. In a real sense they will be able to reproduce themselves. Silicon will have ended carbon'slong control. And we will no longer be able to claim ourselves to be the finest intelligence in the known universe.As the intelligence of robots increases to match that of humans and as their cost declines through economies of scale we may use them to expand our frontiers, first on earth through their ability to withstand environments, harmful to ourselves. Thus, deserts may bloom and the ocean beds be mined. Further ahead, by a combination of the great wealth this new age will bring and the technology it will provide, the construction of a vast, man-created world in space, home to thousands or millions of people, will be within our power.1. In what way can we make a machine intelligent?A) By making it work in such environments as deserts, oceans or space.B) By working hard for 10 or 20 years.C) By either properly programming it or changing its structure.D) By reproducing it.2. What does the writer think about machines with human-like ability?A) He believes they will be useful to human beings.B) He believes that they will control us in the future.C) He is not quite sure in what way they may influence us.D) He doesn't consider the construction of such machines possible.3.

It identifies, tracks down, and destroys troublemakers before they can hurt the body. Those troublemakers may be, for example, bacteria from a cut or splinter, a measles germ, a cold bug, or even a cancer cell.These invaders try to take over our tissues and feed off our bodies, nutrients. If they succeed, we become sick or, sometimes, even die. It's the job of our immune systems to destroy these invaders before they destroy us.Say you picked up a flu virus ( 病毒)last week. Perhaps it entered your body through a cut,from a drinking glass, or from the air you breathe. Of course, you didn't feel it, but the virus made its way into your bloodstream. As soon as it entered your body, it began to reproduce. Viruses have only one goal z to take over your cells. Once inside your body, viruses try to enter cells and disrupt their normal work. If left alone, these viruses would hurt SO many cells that you would weaken, or worse, get a serious illness.But this flu virus should not be so complacent as it seems to be. As it reproduces in your bloodstream, the virus is met by a certain kind of white blood cell, the lymphocytes. The lymphocytes are the foot soldiers that keep you alive.The number of lymphocytes in your body is hard to imagine. Thousands of them could fit in the period at the end of this sentence. Your body holds about a trillion - that's 100000 000 of them, or about 300 in every drop of blood. Since you began reading this sentence, over 800000 of them have been created and destroyed.Some of these lymphocytes pass through a small walnut-sized organ called the thymus. The thymus is at the base of the neck. Here, special hormones(荷尔蒙) turn lymphocytes into fighting cells, called T ceils.T cells have one terrific talent: They can tell the difference between friend and foe; what should be in our bodies and what shouldn't. They do not affect the body's healthy cells. Yet they attack everything that is foreign to our bodies, such as germs, transplants, and even our own cells which have become abnormal, as in the case of cancer.1. What is the function of our immune system?A) To take over our tissues and feed off our bodies nutrients.B) To prevent bacteria or gems from entering the body.C) To destroy the troublemakers in order that they might not hurt the body.D) To fight against T cells.2. What does the word "lymphocytes" mean?A) Foot soldiers. B) Flu virus.C) White blood cell. D) Troublemakers3. Last sentence in para 5 "Since you began reading this sentence, over 8000000 of them have ken created and destroyed." implies that ______.A) this sentences contributes to the increase of the number of lymphocytes in your bodyB) you would not realize that lymphocytes reproduce themselves rapidly butfor this sentenceC) because you read this sentence, a large number of lymphocytes have beenconsumedD) the number of lymphocytes in your body is extremely large4. Which of the following can NOT be detected by T cells?A)Thymus. B) Transplants C) Cancer cells. D)Healthy cells.5. Which of the following question best summarize the man idea of the whole passage?A) How does the immune system attack the flu virus ?B) How does the immune system function in our body?C) How do the lymphocytes work in our body?D) What is the so-called immune system?Passage 4The mystery had now reached its climax: the man had undoubtedly been murdered, and it was absolutely certain no one could conceivably have done it. It was therefore time to call in the great detective, who gave one searching glance at the corpse, then produced a microscope."Aha!" he exclaimed as he picked a hair off the lapel of the dead man's coat. "The mystery is a mystery no longer. We have only to find the man who lost this hair, and the criminal will be in our hands." The inexorable chain of logic was complete, and the detective embarked on his search.For four days and four nights he moved unobserved through the streets of New York, a scanning closely every face he passed, looking for a man who had lost a hair. On the fifth day he discovered a man disguised as a tourist, his head enveloped in a cap reaching below his ears. The man was about to board the Gloritania, and the detective lost no time in following him on board."Arrest him!" shouted the detective, and then drawing himself to his full height, he brandished aloft the hair. "This is his", said the great detective, "and it proves his guilt.""Remove his hat," ordered the ship's captain sternly.It was discovered that the man was entirely bald."Aha!" exclaimed the great detective without a moment's hesitation. "He has committed not one murder but about one million!"1. Before the great detective arrived, it seemed that ______.A) the man had died of natural causesB) no one could possibly have murdered the manC) the mystery would be easy to solveD) the corpse was covered with hair2. The detective declared the mystery solved before he ______.A) found the hair B) produced the microscopeC) searched for the murderer D) glanced at the corpse3. The detective followed the man on board because he thought the man was ______.A) planning a murder B) baldC) a tourist D) not what he seemed4.

The theme of this story is that ______.A) those using logic are not always logicalB) mysteries can always be solved by using logicC) detectives can never be trustedD) guilt can always be proved scientificallyPart Three ClozeGeography is the study of the relationship between people and the land. Geographers (地理学家) compare and contrast 1 places on the earth. But they also 2 beyond the individual places and consider the earth as a 3 . The word geography 4 from two Greek words, ge, the Greek word for “earth” and graphein,5 means “ to write.” The English word geography means “to describe the earth.”6 geography books focus on a small area7 a town or a city. Others deal witha state, a region, a nation, or an 8 continent. Many geography books deal with the whole earth. Another 9 divide the study of 10 is to distinguish betweenphysical geography and cultural geography. The former focuses on the natural world; the 11 starts with human beings and 12 how human beings and their environment act 13 each other. But when geography is considered as a single subject, 14 branch can neglect the other. A geographer might be described 15 one who observes, records, and explains the 16 between places. If all places 17 alike, there would be little need for geographers. We know, however, _18_ no two places are exactly the same. Geography, 19 , is a point of view, a special way of 20 at places.1.

The experts say HIV has an almost perfect ability to avoid the body’s immune(免疫的) defenses, making it ideal for carry ing replacement genes into patients’ bodies, according to the Observer.A team at the California-based Salk Institute, one of the world’s leading research centers on biological sciences, has created a special new breed of HIV and has started negotiations with the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to begin clinical gene therapy (治疗) trials this year. The first trials are expected to involve patients suffering from cancers that cannot be cured by surgery although project leader Professor Inder Verma said the HIV technique would have “far wider applications”.The plan remains very likely to cause controversy since it involves making use of a virus which has caused more than 22 million deaths around the world in the past twodecades. Verma said that the idea of using HIV for a beneficial purpose was “shocking” but the fierce nature of HIV had disappeared by having all six of the potentially deadly genes removed.Illnesses such as various cancers are caused when a gene in a patient’s body fails to work properly. In the past two years, breakthroughs in genetics (遗传学) have led gene therapy scientists to try and replace the genes that do not function normally.Unfortunately, the body’s immune defenses have been known to attack the modified genes and make them lose their effects before they can start their task and progress in the field has been held up by the lack of a suitable carrier.The HIV virus has the ability to escape from, and then destroy, the immune defense cells designed to protect our bodies and this makes it attractive to scientists as a way of secretly conveying replacement genes into patients’ bodies.1.

The glory of burning passion may well have faded, and your love for your wife or husband may not be as exciting or satisfying as it once was, but going off in search of another love will not help your children.4.

Each passage is followed by some questions.For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). Choose thebest answer.Passage OneWhen the going gets tough, real women start coloring. They're picking up adult coloring books by the droves, at bookstores and craft stores, on and even from the Home Shopping Network.The designs appeal to every interest —from whimsical doodles(异想天开的涂鸦) to circular mandalas, nature scenes and fantasy worlds.Coloring not only evokes happy memories of childhood; the act can also foster a sense of well-being and offer a relaxing respite from our digital world. Crafters have known this intuitively for years.An accumulation of research shows that these creative activities can help you de-stress from everyday pressures. Recent studies suggest that structured, rhythmic endeavors such ascoloring, knitting（针织）, crocheting（编织）or quilting（缝被子）are particularly beneficial because they ease you into a meditative（冥想）state of mind that allows you to push away negative thoughts and worries."These activities engage your hands as well as your mind and your focus," says art therapist Lacy Mucklow, the author of several best-selling Zen-themed（以禅为主题）coloring books. "Plus, the repetitive actions release serotonin(血管收缩素), the brain transmitter responsible for relaxation."Numerous studies have looked into how crafting（手工艺）benefits mood and physical health. In a 2006 study co-sponsored by the National Endowment for the Arts and several federal health agencies, researchers found that adults 65 or older who engaged in creative activities such as making jewelry, painting or writing had better overall health, made fewer visits to the doctor, used less medication and had fewer health problems than non-crafters.Stress reduction is a top reason Cathy Simocko-Smith, 59, a professional gardener（园艺工）in Bridgeport, Conn., enjoys coloring. "Coloring at night while I'm watching TV helps quiet my mind," she says. "I can really lose myself in it, and it stops me from thinking about my work and the stresses in my life."Coloring is a great way to explore your creativity — it's easy, inexpensive and you don't have to know how to draw. The 10 to 20 minutes you spend coloring an image that gives you a sense of satisfaction can have a positive ripple effect throughout your day.31. When do women want to color?A) When they have learned online shopping, they start coloring.B) When they face some difficulties, they start coloring.C) When they feel very depressed, they start coloring.D) When they get tougher, they start coloring.32. What does the word “respite” (Para. 3) possibly mean?A) A pleasant environment.B) A beautiful place.C) A good opportunity.D) A short break.33. What does Lacy Mucklow say about coloring?A) It helps your fingers and hands become more flexible.B) It can push away your negative thoughts and worries.C) It provides you with an opportunity to relax.D) It requires repetitive actions so that you need to be focused.34. Why does Cathy Simocko-Smith enjoy coloring？A) Because coloring helps her relieve pressure.B) Because coloring is good for her overall health.C) Because coloring assists her in developing creativity.D) Because coloring increases her working efficiency.35. What does this passage mainly talk about?A) Women particularly enjoy coloring.B) Coloring can be beneficial to you.C) Coloring gives you a sense of satisfaction.D) Coloring becomes a part of people’s daily life.Passage TwoThere are a great many careers in which the increasing emphasis is on specialization（专业化). You find these careers in engineering, in production, in statistical work, and in teaching. But there is an increasing demand for people who are able to take in a great area at a glance, people who perhaps do not know too much about any one field. There is, in other words, a demand for people who are capable of seeing the forest rather than the trees, of making general judgments. We can call these people “generalists”（多面手，通才）. And these “generalists” are particularly needed for position in administra tion, where it is their job to see that other people do the work, where they have to plan for other people, to organize other people’s work, to begin it and judge it.The specialist（专业人才，行家）understands one field; his concern is with technique and tools. H e is a “trained” man; and his educational background is properly technical or professional. The generalist —and especially the administrator —deals with people; hisconcern is with leadership, with planning, and with direction giving. He is an “educated” man; and the humanities(人文学科) are his strongest foundation. Very rarely is good generalist also a good specialist in a particular field. Any organization needs them in different proportions（比例）. It is your task to find out, during your training period, into which of the two kinds of jobs you fit, and to plan your career accordingly.Your first job may turn out to be the right job for you —but this is pure accident. Certainly you should not change jobs constantly or people will become suspicious of your ability to hold any job. At the same time, you must not look upon the first job as the final job; it is primarily a training job, an opportunity to understand yourself and your fitness for being an employee.36. According to the passage, there is an increasing demand for ________.A) people whose job is to organize other people’s workB) all-round people in their own fieldsC) generalists whose educational background is either technical or professionalD) specialists whose chief concern is to provide administrative guidance to others37. A specialist is a man ________.A) whose job is to train other peopleB) who has been trained in more than one fieldC) who can see the forest than the treesD) whose concern is mainly with technical or professional matters38. An administrator is ________.A) a “trained” man who is more a specialist than a generalistB) a man who sees the trees as well as the forestC) a man who is very strong in the humanitiesD) a man who is an “educated” specialist39. During your training period, it is important to ________.A) try hard to be a generalist who understands one fieldB) choose a profitable job which is suitable to youC) find an organization that provides you with leadershipD) decide whether you are fit to be a specialist or generalist40. A man’s first job ________.A) is never the right job for himB) should not be regarded as his final jobC) should always be the right jobD) is primarily an opportunity to fit himself for his final jobSection B: （本题满分20分，包括10道小题，每小题2分）Directions:In this section, you are going to read a passage with ten statements attached to it.Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify theparagraph from which the information is derived. You may choose a paragraphmore than once. Each paragraph is marked with a letter. Match the correct letterwith the statement.Why our Homes Make us HappyA) Humans add layers of significance to home and place, so homes and neighborhoods help us keep alive some of the strongest sources of what has given our lives meaning, well-being, and happiness. It’s no wonder, anthropologists (人类学家) and aging experts say, that we often say people are going home when they die. For many children, a sense of home and place is shaped by their room, and it can evoke strong memories and feelings decades after they've moved away.B) “There is pretty strong evidence that the environment in which people live is closely linked to their well-being,”says Graham Rowles, a gerontology(老年学) professor at the University of Kentucky. “It’s sort of like the human animal attachment to territory is built into our DNA.” We have a need for a place that is called home which provides security（安全感）, control and belonging, among other things. “But most of all, it’s a place that provides us with a centering—a place from which we leave each morning and to which we return each evening,” he adds.C) American culture is strongly rooted in feelings of independence, liberty, and control, says Robert Rubinstein, who teaches anthropology at the University of Maryland at Baltimore County. “We live in a society that is concerned with freedom, and part of that developmentis being able to make a space for yourself, and having a central place from which to look out at the world,” he says.D) Rick Scheidt has spent much of his professional life talking with aging residents of the vanishing small towns that dot the prairies (大草原) in Kansas and other Midwestern states. Here, sense of belonging is very powerful. Often, it is all that is left. He says, “People look at aspects of their environment in a very personal way. I might be talking to an older woman about her memories of a place, and I’d say, ‘Look at that cedar tree over there. It looks like it's been through hard times and gotten hit by lightning.’ And she’ll look at that tree and say, ‘Oh, that’s third base,’drawing on memories of when she played baseball there as a child.”E) Such memories become part of a person's life story, which often is central to their sense of well-being and assessment of whether their life has had meaning. “We can't understand anything else that people are telling us without understanding their life story,” Rubinstein says. The role of home and sense of place in a person's life story can be significant. As people age, he notes, their life story takes on added importance.F) Likewise, the meaning of a person's home is enriched with memories. Habib Chaudhury teaches classes on aging and environment at Simon Fraser University in Vancouver, Canada. He identifies four areas where home takes on added meaning for older residents. “The first is the emotional attachment that is formed,” he says, and it grows over time. “It contributes to their emotional well-being, their self-esteem, and their confidence about doing things.”G) Next is familiarity with their physical surroundings. This is particularly important if a person has lost some physical and cognitive (认知的) abilities. Knowing their way around their home helps compensate, and being comfortable in their living space reduces stress and helps well-being.H) “The third factor is knowing their neighborhood and being comfortable there and with the people they know,” Chaudhury says. “Fourth is more conceptual,”he says. “It has to do with their sense of identity. The sense of attachment to a home can become so strong that it becomes part of their emotional identity,” Chaudhury says. “It can help people make up forother losses in their lives,” such as the death of a spouse, end of a career, or reduction of their circle of friends.I) Making the transition from a long-occupied family home to newer surroundings can have a big impact on people at all stages of life, but may be especially dreadful for older people. “This can be very difficult for older people who have lived in a place for 40 or 50 years,”Rubinstein says. “There is a need for many people for counseling for how to go through this process of downsizing”.J) Rowles sees signs that America’s determined pursuit of mobility has been changing the attitudes of younger generations. The recession (经济衰退) and serious slowdown in home sales has, for the time being, reduced the pace of home relocations. But the broader pattern has been of a society in which people can live anywhere and unconsciously depend on businesses and other institutions to copy a comforting sense of place all over the country. K) “We're much more mobile than past generations,”Rowles says. “There is less and less attachment to place. What are we losing as we are constantly moving around? Families are separated. There is no longer a support system in place. Some of the things about home are much more symbolic than real these days.”L) Dreams of having a home of their own are essential, of course, but people should be cautious of investing too much of themselves in their home. At the extreme, this problem shows up in headlines about people who never throw anything away and become isolated in their homes. A healthy home-life balance can be supported by annual “cuttings”of possessions and domestic items. Older homeowners should encourage grown family members to take items, especially those with sentimental value. And when it comes time to move, there is no shame in hiring a downsizing consultant to help with what can be very difficult and emotional decisions.M) It's also wise to identify how important a sense of home and place is to you, and to maintain the level of domestic life that supports your well-being. For some, traveling with a favorite pillow and even bedside knick-knacks(小玩意儿) may help reduce stress and promote a good night's sleep on the road. Other people, by contrast, could care less about where their head lands at the end of the day. Whatever your preferences are, the goal is to be at peace with your surroundings.41. Habib Chaudhury found home develops extra meaning for the elderly in four aspects.42. Americans are becoming more mobile so they don’t have such strong affection for theplace where they live.43. It’s sensible to realize the importance of home to you and to keep good family life foryour health.44. The sources of happiness and well-being can remain alive with the memories created byhome.45. It’s a difficult and even painful experience to change living environment for many people,especially the older generations.46. People are advised not to invest too much in their home even though owning a home is aprimary dream.47. One’s life story is made up of memories from childhood and plays a key role in theirfeelings of health, happiness and whether they life is meaningful.48. Robert Rubinstein says American culture endows home the meaning of freedom as well asa center for people to connect with the world.49.

(S10).Their concerns are receiving a wider audience than ever before. The time may come when all Americans will look forward to becoming senior citizens.Part II. Reading Comprehension(40%)Directions:Read the following passages carefully and do the multiple-choice questions.Passage150,000 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: Young 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. “You 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.11. It can be inferred from the context that a “ cast member ” of Disney is it’s .A. security guardB. cookC. employeeD. shop assistant12. Disney World is the one of the American recreation resorts while many employees think .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.13. Which is Not mentioned as a disadvantage of the job at Disney World ?A. AccommodationB. SafetyC. PayD. Manner14. Which of the following is TRUE according to Mike Cohen ?A.He can’t understand why many Disney workers have giver up their jobs.B.Most Disney workers earn less than $10 for each hour.C.Disney workers are not encouraged to please those rude guests.D.Disney workers are supposed to give each customer a ride.15. The word “ presentable ” (Para. 2 ) probably means .A. good-lookingB. differentC. previousD. physicalPassage 2After-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. 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.16.

More 24-hour hotline centers appear because ________.A. more and more customersdemand after-sales servicesB. there are more and more complaints from customersC. more companies come to realize the importance of after-sales services.D. they have become a new type of investment18.

They can use their psychic ability to heal people who are sick, to give advice, to give hints about the future, and to do many other things. And it's not just individuals who use psychics; sometimes companies and governments use psychics, too. One year a company called Delphi and Associates earned $120,000 on the stock market with the help of psychics."So how can I get some psychic help?" you may ask yourself. Well, you don't have to pay a lot of money to a professional psychic. You can start by using your own psychic ability.Psychic abilities are really just another sense, similar to our other five senses. The difference is that we never develop our psychic sense in the same way that we develop our other senses. We train our eyes to see the difference between a V and a U; we train our ears to hear the difference between a /ch/ and a /sh/ sound; we can feel the difference between silk and leather; we can smell and taste if milk is sour. But our sixth sense, our psychic sense, seldom develops very much. Because most of us ignore our psychic sense for so long, it takes some time to develop it. If you have never played soccer before, you cannot expect to be a good player after three lessons. It might take years to become really good. Psychic ability works the same way.21. People use psychics ________.A. mainly to see the futureB. to make moneyC. to see what one cannot usually seeD. for many reasons22. ________ learn to use their psychic abilityA. Many peopleB. Many companiesC. Few peopleD. Few governments23. Psychic abilities ________.A. are similar to other sensesB. work in the same way as other sensesC. are different from other sensesD. work together with other senses24. Our psychic sense seldom develops very much because ________.A. we never use itB. we never believe in itC. we ignore itD. we don't want to take time to train it25. The attitude of the author towards psychic abilities is ________.A. positiveB. ironicalC. criticalD. neutralPassage 4It 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. Yes, whenever he wished to.C. Yes, if she agreed.D. Yes, 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.Part III.

We train our eyes to see the difference between a V and a U; we train our ears to hear the difference between a /ch/ and a /sh/ sound;we can feel the difference between silk and leather; we can smell and taste if milk is sour. But our sixth sense, our psychic sense, seldom develops very much. Because most of us ignore our psychic sense for so long, it takes some time to develop it. If you have never played soccer before, you cannot expect to be a good player after three lessons. It might take years to become really good. Psychic ability works the same way.21. People use psychics _____ .A. mainly to see the futureB. to make moneyC. to see what one cannot usually seeD. for many reasons22. _____ learn to use their psychic abilityA. Many peopleB. Many companiesC. Few peopleD. Few governments23.

The attitude of the author towards psychic abilities is ______ .A. positiveB. ironicalC. criticalD. neutralPassage 4It 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 wasA. 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. Yes, whenever he wished to.C. Yes, if she agreed.D. Yes, 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 husba nd was give n con trol over his wife's property.Part III.

新视野大学英语四期末快速阅读试题Directions: Read the following passage, and then answer the questions. Mark A if the statement agrees with the information given in the passage, mark B if the statement contradicts the information given in the passage, mark C if the information is not given in the passage.Passage 1The Journey to SeoulFormerly called Hanseong or Hanyang, Seoul, is the 600-year-old enduring capital of South Korea. It is located in the north-west of the country on the river of Hangang, which flows from east to west through Seoul, and the mountain range stretching from the north contributes to the city landscape. The center of the city is mostly flat. Splendid mountains are in the suburbs and serve as a resort for Seoul residents.Forms of WritingThe plane landed at Incheon International Airport on an early April morning. To most new visitors, the well-decorated and furnished airport presented a fresh feeling. Everything was clean, neat and in order.Surprisingly, some airport signboards are printed in Chinese as well as English and Hangul—the Korea language. Are they Chinese? No, they are not actually Chinese but Chinese characters used by Hangul.The Korean language has a long history linked with Chinese. Before Hangul was developed by a Korean king in the 15th century, the Korean language had been written in Chinese characters. Like Japanese, Koreans have borrowed nearly 70% of their vocabulary from Chinese. But Chinese and Hangul are different languages after all. Therefore, the Chinese characters are mainly restricted to be used in maps, and occasionally in newspapers and people’s written names. One example is the visa application form, which is printed in Chinese characters.The local government managed to use more Chinese characters in the road signs and maps for the FIFA World Cup football matches to attract more Chinese tourists to boost the tourism. Nowadays there are increasing numbers of road signs in Seoul written in English, Japanese and Chinese to help foreign tourists.TransportationBus tickets to the downtown area are available at the information center of the airport. Basically, there are two kinds of bus services in Seoul—Limousine Bus(中型客车)and Seat Bus, which runs from 5:00 to 23:00 daily at 15-or 30-minute intervals. The price difference between the two is substantial. The Limousine bus ticket costs 50% more than the Seat Bus ticket, and its seats are more comfortable. The adjustable seats in the Limousine bus allow passengers to lie half down. Some buses are even equipped with mobile payphones. All the buses set off on time, even when there are few passengers.The highway from the airport to the city is well-managed, so the bus can run very fast. But when approaching downtown, it has to slow down. Everyone struggles to move forward. Impatientdrivers try to change lanes, but in the end still get stuck. When asked why the traffic is so bad, the drivers always answer, “Too many cars!” Nowadays young people prefer to buy a new car rather than save money to buy a house as what the old generation did. Besides, the government encourages everybody to own a Korean-made car. And that’s true for the observation. There are few foreign cars on the road. With over 10 million registered residents, the city of Seoul has one of the greatest populations that human civilization has yet known. It also has more than one million registered vehicles which cause widespread traffic jams beyond midnight. Such terrible traffic jams force some people to stay in the company’s dormitory after working during weekdays. To save time and energy, they only go back home at weekends.EducationIn South Korea, students who are accepted into one of the top three national universities have a higher social status and better prospects for jobs and marriage. In fact, the former prime minister of South Korea and 12 out of his 18 ministers graduated from Seoul National University. The other two top South Korean universities are Yonsei University and Korea University.The desire to attend these universities is so strong that many parents will move into more expensive houses to be closer to good schools. One such community is called Daechidong, which is an area of Seoul that attracts academically strong students. The area is filled with testing schools, which students attend to improve test scores and receive extra tutoring. Students often get home around 10 p.m. after attending both regular school and testing school each day.South Korea’s great emphasis on scholastic achievement can be tracked back to Confucian ideals, which focus on values like social order. Although there are other Asian countries, such as Japan, that emphasize education, South Korea has been criticized for breeding intelligent students that lack creativity. Even so, South Korean students’ performance ranks highly among 30 nations, which include the U.S. and European countries. According to the Program for International Student Assessment, South Korea placed first in problem-solving, second place in reading, and third place in science. The country’s scientists are also famous around the world for the excellence.ShoppingSeoul looks very modern, just as other big cities, such as New York, London and Paris. The Itaewon Street boasts fashionable shops that sell clothes and various goods including shoes and bags, along with various other shops where one can buy herb medicine and Korean plants. There are a number of special restaurants, bars, and cafes which attract people to enjoy the night life. Because the U.S. army is stationed nearby, this street has an exotic atmosphere. Those who talk along the streets are mostly foreigners.Shoppers can take advantage of low prices but still receive high quality goods. Discounts may be given if you bargain with the shopkeepers. Normally, shop owners can say only a few words of a foreign language, usually those related to shopping, so it is helpful to learn and practice some Korean phrase and words before you step into these shops.FoodIn Seoul, you would not want to miss the chance to try the traditional Korean food. The most popular is “Bulgogi” (fire beef). It involves a hot plate right in the center of the dining table. Thewaitress puts it on fire after she has served some soft drinks and different kinds of vegetable. She uses vegetable leaves to wrap the beef strips, adds garlic, and makes one of the most delicious dishes in the world.Another popular Korean food is “Bulgalbi” (roasted beef ribs), in which short beef ribs are used instead of beef strips. A further recommended dish consists of 30 kinds of vegetables placed on top of a bed of boiled rice, mixed with hot chili paste and served with beef soup.Great food needs to be served with good wine. There are two kinds of Korean wines. One is called “100-year wine”, which means you can live to 100 years old after drinking this wine. The other, called “50-year wine”, is made almost from the same ingredients but tastes slightly lighter. The Korean host may invite you to mix these two kinds of wines. The mix makes it “1,000-year wine”. And he may tell you he hopes you could live that long!1.Seoul is located in the north-west of the country on the river of Hangang, which flows fromwest to east through the whole city.2.This passage mainly introduces the development of the city of Seoul as part of a tour guide.3.The Hangul language was written in Chinese characters before the 15th century.4.Chinese characters, as well as English language, are officially used in Korean maps,newspapers and road signs to promote tourism.5.Though Seat Bus ticket costs less than half of the Limousine bus, the seats in Seat Bus are justas comfortable.6.The reason why few foreign cars can be seen in Seoul is that Korean citizens are encouragedto buy homemade vehicles.7.The top three universities in South Korea are Seoul National University, Yonsei Universityand Korea University.8.South Korea’s emphasis on scholastic achievement is irrelevant to Confucian ideals.9.According to the Program for International Student Assessment, problem-solving is the mostnotable ability of the South Korean.10.Learning some Korean phrases and words beforehand may help you enjoy shopping in SouthKorea.Passage 2Ten Top American IconsIf you dust off your old reference books and look up the word “icon”, you’ll discover that it has such meanings as “symbol” and “representation”. A national icon is someone who, by the mere mention of his name, will remind people of his country. Whether icons like it or not, they are representatives of their nations to be the rest of the world.Top 10: Ronald ReaganBest known for his role as the 40th President of the United States, Reagan started out as a radio announcer and Hollywood actor, having made over 50 movies.He changed from a Democrat to a Republican and was elected Governor of California in 1966.After taking over the White House in 1981, he served as President for two terms. During those years, he showed the world what America is all about.Best quote: America is too great to dream small dreams.”Top 9: Ernest HemingwayHemingway is considered the greatest American fiction writer of the 20th century. He was an ambulance driver during World War One and a war reporter during World War Two. He wrote about his experiences as an American living in Paris during the 1920s, hunting in Africa, and fishing off Cuba.His direct and clear way of writing became his trademark, which had often been imitated. His works have earned him many awards, including the Nobel Prize. He supposedly committed suicide while struggling with depression, but he still remains one of the most prominent literary ambassadors America has ever had.Best quote: All things truly wicked started from innocence.”Top 8: Frank SinatraThe single most popular singer of all time, Frank Sinatra had early ambitions of becoming a journalist. By the time he was working as a sport reporter, a second career in singing was taking off. Before long, he was touring with a big band orchestra and starting a career on his own in 1942.He was a real sensation, selling records faster than they could be made. Regarded as the greatest entertainer of the 20th century, Sinatra deserves his status as an American icon.Best quote: A friend is never an imposition.”Top 7: James DeanJames Dean was a kid from the Midwest. He studied acting and law in California but quit law after getting a taste of acting on a TV show. He then moved to act to Broadway and got more guest appearances on television. His soft, unforced acting impressed both audience and producers.He made three movies before his 1955 death in a car crash. East of Eden, Rebel Without a Cause and Giant were not only critical and financial successes, but they showed a new kind of actor that people had never seen before. Dean became more than an idol; he became a legend. Best quote: “Dream as if you’ll live forever. Live as if you’ll die today.Top 6: Michael JordanHere’s a man who lives the American Dream. Originally from Brooklyn, Michael Jordan attended the University of North Carolina. He was soon drafted into the NBA as a guard for the Chicago Bulls. He led his team to become league champions six times and he won the Most Valuable Player Award five times.Also a smart businessman, Jordan’s fortune was estimates at $408 million in 2003.Best quote: “I can accept failure, but I can’t accept not trying.”Top 5: Martin Luther King, Jr.He had a dream. When he heard about a great man in India named Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King, Jr. became fascinated with Gandhi’s methods of peaceful protest.Being a leader of the movement to get rights for blacks in America made King a target for his opponents, and his house was bombed. But that just served to fuel his desire to see segregation ended. He became a national advocate for civil liberties and inspired a nation to change its way. His assassination in 1968 only proved that he was right about America needing to change.Best quote: “If a man hasn’t found something he will die for, he isn’t fit to live.”Top 4: John WayneJohn Wayne was forced to leave college after an injury put an end to his football playing days. He had been working odd jobs at Fox Studios when he was finally noticed by executives. After a lead role in a major production failed to make him a star, he began to appear in low-budget films. The movie that put him on the map was 1939’s Stagecoach, directed by John Ford, with whom Wayne would have a long professional relationship. Wayne became famous for playing tough guys in westerns and war pictures. He is the symbol of the American of those days, a private and honest man of action.Best quote: “I never trust a man that doesn’t drink.”Top 3: Elvis PresleySince Elvis Presley’s death, people claim to have seen him at grocery stores, gas stations and diners. This is evidence that his fans will love him eternally and still cannot seem to accept his passing.Elvis grew up in a poor home and taught himself how to play the guitar. Later he recorded a song for his mother, which attracted the attention of a small-time producer. Elvis then recorded a couple of singles, which became local hits. He finally shocked the nation in 1956 as a performer on The Ed Sullivan Show—the nation had never heard, or seen, anything like it before. He will always be known as the King of Rock ’n’ Roll.Best quote: “I don’t know anything about music. In my line you don’t have to.”Top 2: Marilyn MonroeMarilyn Monroe proved that where there’s a will, there’s a way. She overcame a childhood of abuse, worked as a swimsuit model, and finally became one of the most famous movie stars of all time.Her performances in films, like Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, confirmed she had as much talent as she did beauty. Her tragic death on August 5, 1962 was ruled a suicide by overmedication, which only intensified her legendary status.Best quote: “Sex is a part of nature. I go along with nature.”Top 1: John Fitzgerald KennedyThe Kennedy family is often considered the only royal family the United States has ever had. What makes it so is not their wealth or political role, but rather the aura of nobility surrounding them. J.F. Kennedy was the symbol of this. A navy officer during World War Two, he became a Senator in 1952. Nine years later, he became the 35th American President.His term as President was named the New Frontier since it was a time of change. He put an end to segregation, established the Peace Corps, and stood strong during the Cuban Missile Crisis. Unfortunately, he is often best remembered for his assassination in 1963.Best quote: “Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country.”1.The top ten American icons, who make up the main topic of this passage, symbolize and standfor their nation.2.When Ronald Reagan was elected Governor of California in 1966, he was a member of theDemocratic Party.3.Directness and clearness are typical of Hemingway’s writing style, which is followed by manywriters.4.Both Frank Sinatra and James Dean involved themselves in entertainment world after quittingtheir early ambitions of becoming a journalist.5.Michael Jordan was an excellent student at the University of North Carolina before joining theChicago bulls.6. A leader of the movement to win rights for blacks in America, Martin Luther King, Jr.struggled to get rid of segregation.7.The film Stagecoach, made in 1939, was not so successful as expected in making John Waynea star.8.Elvis Presley, though growing up in a poor family, became known in the music world as theKing of Rock ’n’ Roll.9.Marilyn Monroe worked from a swimsuit star model to one of the most famous fashionmodels in America.10.J.F.

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 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 (提前的) arrival of the future. It may well be the most important disease of tomorrow.Ⅲ. Reading comprehension. (30%)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 clues to different conceptions of time, space, work, love, religion, sex,−react to and everything else, then the dislocation he suffers will be severe. Given few clues as to what kind of behavior is rational(合理的) 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 including its weakest, least intelligent, and most irrational−generation suddenly transported into this new world. The result is mass−members 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.41. 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 prices42. 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 casualtiesD. it destroys the foundation of the society43. The word 'clue' in Paragraph 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 culture44. 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 changes45. It can be inferred that the author's tone in the passage is ________.A. humorousB. exaggeratedC. ironicD. seriousPassage 2Young people and older people do not always agree. They sometimes have different ideas about living, working and playing. But in one special programme in New York State, adults and teenagers live together in a friendly way.Each summer 200 teenagers and 50 adults live together for eight weeks as members of a special work group. Everyone works several hours each day. They do so not just to keep busy but to find meaning and enjoyment in work. Some teenagers work in the woods or on the farms near the village.3Some learn to make things like tables and chairs and to build houses. The adults teach them these skills.There are several free hours each day. Weekends are free, too. During the free hours some of the teenagers learn photo-taking or painting. Others sit around and talk or sing. Each teenager chooses his own way to spend his free time.When people live together, rules are necessary. In this programme the teenagers and the adults make the rules together. If someone breaks a rule, the problem goes before the whole group. They talk about it and ask, “Why did it happen? What should we do about it?”One of the teenagers has this to say about th e experience: “You stop thinking only about yourself. You learn how to think about the group.”46. In one special programme in New York State, young and older people ____.A. are friendly to one anotherB. teach one another new ways of building housesC. do not work togetherD. spent eight weeks together, working as farmers47.

They ask a lot of questions.50. The last paragraph shows that the teenager thinks his experience in the programme is _______.A. disappointingB. helpfulC. tiringD. unpleasantPassage 3During the first half of the nineteenth century much thought was given to building the Panama （巴拿马）Canal. The discovery of gold in California in 1848 brought an increased demand for a transportation link across Panama. A railroad line was completed after six years of hard labor in the swamps (沼泽) and jungles. Over two thousand workmen died from yellow fever and malaria (疟疾). In 1881 a French organization tried to build a canal across the Isthmus（巴拿马地峡）. For eleven years workmen struggled against heat and disease. At least 15,000 died before the French gave up their attempts to build the canal. For years the abandoned machinery lay in the jungles. At the close of the Spanish-American War the United States bought a strip of land ten miles wide across the Isthmus.4Immediate attention was given to the control of diseases. In two years yellow fever was completely eliminated（消除）. Because of the work of American medical heroes, it was possible to build the splendid Panama Canal.51. Prior to(在…之前) the successful completion of the Panama Canal, ________.A. France bought a strip of land across the Isthmus of PanamaB. Malaria was wiped out as a killer diseaseC. one country failed in its attempts to build a canalD. American doctors were honored for their work52.

The discovery of gold in California.C. The efforts recorded in the building of the Panama Canal.D. The work of American medical heroesPassage 4In 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 school5the 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 help he 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.56. According to the passage one of the problems for pupils entering secondary schools 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 pupils57. 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 help58. It can be inferred from the passage that the author is mainly concerned about ________.A. academic standardsB. the role of specialist teachersC. the training of the individual teachersD. the personal development of pupils59. 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 fellowpupils.D. Secondary school pupils can easily get the help they need.60. 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.

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A) , B) , C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage OneThe predictability of our mortality rates is something that has long puzzled social scientists. After all, there is no natural reason why 2,500 people should accidentally shoot themselves each year or why 7,000 should drown or 55,000 die in their cars. No one establishes a quota for each type of death. It just happens that they follow a consistent pattern year after year.A few years ago a Canadian psychologist named Gerald Wilde became interested in this phenomenon. He noticed that mortality rates for violent and accidental deaths throughout the Western world have remained oddly static throughout the whole of the century, despite all the technological advances and increases in safety standards that have happened in that time. Wilde developed an intriguing theory calle d “risk homeostasis”. According to this theory, people instinctively live with a certain level of risk. When something is made safer, people will get around the measure in some way to reassert the original level of danger. If, for instance, they are required to wear seat belts, they will feel safer and thus will drive a little faster and a little more recklessly, thereby statistically canceling out the benefits that the seat belt confers. Other studies have shown that where an intersection is made safer, the accident rate invariably falls there but rises to a compensating level elsewhere along the same stretch of road. It appears, then, that we have an innate need for danger.In all events, it is becoming clearer and clearer to scientists that the factors influencing our lifespan are far more subtle and complex than had been previously thought. It now appears that if you wish to live a long life, it isn’t simply a matter of adhering to certain precautions… eating the right foods, not smoking, driving with care. You must also have the right attitude. Scientists at the Duke University Medical Center made a 15-year study of 500 persons’ personalities and found, somewhat to their surprise, that people with a suspicious or mistrustful nature die prematurely far more often than people with a sunny disposition. Looking on the bright side, it seems, can add years to your life span.31. What social scientists have long felt puzzled about is why________.A) the mortality rate can not be predictedB) the death toll remained stable year after yearC) a quota for each type of death has not come into beingD) people lost their lives every year for this or that reason32. In his research, Gerald Wilde finds that technological advances and increases in safety standards ________.A) have helped solve the problem of so high death rateB) have oddly accounted for mortality rates in the past centuryC) have reduced mortality rates for violent and accidental deathsD) have achieved no effect in bringing down the number of deaths33. According to the theory of “risk homeostasis”, some traffic accidents result from ________.A) our innate desire for riskB) our fast and reckless drivingC) our ignorance of seat belt benefitsD) our instinctive interest in speeding34. By saying “…statistically canceling out the benefits that the seat belt confers” ( Para.2), the author means ________.A) wearing seat belts does not have any benefits from the statistic point of viewB) deaths from wearing seat belts are the same as those from not wearing themC) deaths from other reasons counterbalance the benefits of wearing seat beltsD) wearing seat belts does not necessarily reduce deaths from traffic accidents35. Which of the following may contribute to a longer life span?A) Showing adequate trust instead of suspicion of othersB) Eating the food low in fat and driving with great careC) Cultivating an optimistic personality and never losing heartD) Looking on the bright side and developing a balanced level of riskPassage TwoLead depos its, which accumulated in soil and snow during the 1960’s and 70’s, were primarily the result of leaded gasoline emissions originating in the United States. In the twenty years that the Clean Air Act has mandated unleaded gas use in the United States, the lead accumulation world-wide has decreased significantly.A study published recently in the journal Nature shows that air-borne leaded gas emissions from the United States were the leading contributor to the high concentration of lead in the snow in Greenland. The new study is a result of the continued research led by Dr. Charles Boutron, an expert on the impact of heavy metals on the environment at the National Center for Scientific Research in France.A study by Dr. Boutron published in 1991 showed that lead levels in arctic snow were declining.In his new study, Dr. Boutron found the ratios of the different forms of lead in the leaded gasoline used in the United States were different from the ratios of European, Asian and Canadian gasoline and thus enabled scientists to differentiate the lead sources. The dominant lead ratio found in Greenland snow matched that found in gasoline from the United States.In a study published in the journal Ambio, scientists found that lead levels in soil in the North-eastern United States had decreased markedly since the introduction of unleaded gasoline.Many scientists had believed that the lead would stay in soil and snow for a longer period.The authors of the Ambio study examined samples of the upper layers of soil taken from the same sites of 30 forest floors in New England, New York and Pennsylvania in 1980 and in 1990.The forest environment processed and redistributed the lead faster than the scientists had expected.Scientists say both studies demonstrate that certain parts of the ecosystem respond rapidly to reductions in atmospheric pollution, but that these findings should not be used as a license to pollute.36. The study published in the journal Nature indicates that ________.A) the Clean Air Act has not produced the desired resultsB) lead deposits in arctic snow are on the increaseC) lead will stay in soil and snow longer than expectedD) the US is the major source of lead pollution in arctic snow37. Lead accumulation worldwide decreased significantly after the use of unleaded gas in the US ________.A) was discouraged C) was prohibited by lawB) was enforced by law D) was introduced38. How did scientists discover the source of lead pollution in Greenland?A) By analyzing the data published in journals like Nature and Ambio.B) By observing the lead accumulations in different parts of the arctic area.C) By studying the chemical elements of soil and snow in Northeastern America.D) By comparing the chemical compositions of leaded gasoline used in various countries.39. The authors of the Ambio study have found that ________.A) forests get rid of lead pollution faster than expectedB) lead accumulations in forests are more difficult to deal withC) lead deposits are widely distributed in the forests of the USD) the upper layers of soil in forests are easily polluted by lead emissions40. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that scientists ________.A) are puzzled by the mystery of forest pollutionB) feel relieved by the use of unleaded gasolineC) still consider lead pollution a problemD) lack sufficient means to combat lead pollutionSection B:Directions: In this section, there is a passage with ten blanks. You are required to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage. Read the passage through carefully before making your choices. Each choice in the blank is identified by a letter. You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.Blanks 41 to 50 are based on the following passage.Have you ever heard of Jon Stewart?

Reading Comprehension (30%)Section A Skimming and Scanning (1'*10=10')Directions: In this part, you will have 15 minutes to go over the passage quicklyand answer the questions on Answer Sheet.For questions21-27, markY (for YES) if the statement agrees with the information given in the passage;N (for NO) if the statement contradicts the information given in the passage;NG (for NOT GIVEN) if the information is not given in the passage.For questions28-30, complete the sentences with the information given in the passage.SleepSleep is one of those funny things about being a human being—you just have to do it. Have you ever wondered why? And what about the crazy dreams, like the one where a bad person is chasing you and you can’t run or yell. Does that make any sense?If you have ever wondered about why people have to sleep or what causes dreams, then read on. In this article, you’ii find out all about sleep and what it does for you.Characteristics of SleepWe all know how sleep looks—when we see someone sleeping, we recognize the following characteristics:●If possible, the person will lie down to go to sleep.●The person’s eyes are closed.●The person doesn’t hear anything unless it is a loud noise.●The person breathes in a slow, rhythmic pattern.●The person’s muscles are completely relaxed. If sitting up, the person may fall out of his or her chair as sleep deepens.●During sleep, the person occasionally rolls over or rearranges his or her body. This happens approximately once or twice an hour. This may be the body’s way of making sure that no part of the body or skin has its circulation cut off for too long a period of time.In addition to these outward signs, the heart slows down and the brain does some pretty funky things (we’ll get to this later).In other words, a sleeping person is unconscious of most things happening in the environment. The biggest difference between someone who is asleep and someone who has fainted or gone into a coma is the fact that a sleeping person can be aroused if the stimulus is strong enough. If you shake the person, yell loudly or flash a bright light, a sleeping person will wake up.For any animal living in the wild, it just doesn’t seem very smart to design in a mandatory(强制的) eight-hour period of near-total unconsciousness every day. Yet that is exactly what evolution has done. So there must be a pretty good reason for it! Who Sleeps?Reptiles, birds and mammals all sleep. That is, they become unconscious of their surroundings for periods of time. Some fish and amphibians(两栖动物) reduce their awareness but do not ever become unconscious like the higher vertebrates do. Insects do not appear to sleep, although they may become inactive in daylight or darkness.By studying brainwaves, it is known that reptiles do not dream. Birds dream a little. Mammals all dream during sleep.Different animals sleep in different ways. Some animals, like humans, prefer to sleep in one long session. Other animals (dogs, for example) like to sleep in many short bursts. Some sleep at night, while others sleep during the day.Sleep and the BrainIf you attach an electroencephalograph(脑电图) to a person’s head, you can record the person’s brainwave activity. An awake and relaxed person generates alpha waves, which are consistent oscillations at about 10 cycles per second. An alert person generates beta waves, which are about twice as fast.During sleep, two slower patterns called theta waves and delta waves take over. Theta waves have oscillations in the range of 3.5 to 7 cycles per second, and delta waves have oscillations of less than 3.5 cycles per second. As a person falls asleep and sleep deepens, the brainwave patterns slow down. The slower the brainwave patterns, the deeper the sleep—a person deep in delta wave sleep is hardest to wake up.Why Sleep?No one really knows why we sleep. But, there are all kinds of theories, including these:●Sleep gives the body a chance to repair muscles and other tissues, replace aging or dead cells, etc.●Sleep gives the brain a chance to organize and achieve memories. Dreams are thought by some to be part of this process.●Sleep lowers our energy consumption, so we need three meals a day rather than four or five. Since we can’t do anything in the dark anyway, we mightas well “turn off” and save the energy.According to Science News Online: Napless cats awaken interest in adenosine, sleep may be a way of recharging the brain, using adenosine(腺苷) as a signal that the brain needs to rest: “Since adenosine secretion reflects brain cell activity, rising concentrations of this chemical may be how the organ gauges that it has been burning up its energy reserves and needs to shut down for a while.” Adenosine levels in the brain rise during wakefulness and decline during sleep.What we all know is that, with a good night’s sleep, everything looks and feels better in the morning. Both the brain and the body are refreshed and ready for a new day.DreamsWhy do we have such crazy, kooky dreams? Why do we dream at all for that matter? According to Joel Achenbach in his book Why Things Are:The brain creates dreams through random electrical activity. Random is the key word here. About every 90 minutes the brain stem sends electrical impulses throughout the brain, in no particular order or fashion. The analytic portion of the brain—the forebrain—then desperately tries to make sense of these signals. It is like looking at a Rorschach test, a random splash of ink on paper. The only way of comprehending it is by viewing the dream (or the inkblot) metaphorically, symbolically, since there’s no literal message.This doesn’t mean that dreams are meaningless or should be ignored. How our forebrains choose to “analyze” the random and discontinuous images may tell us something about ourselves, just as what we see in an inkblot can be revelatory. And perhaps there is a purpose to the craziness: Our minds may be working on deep-seated problems through these circuitous and less threatening metaphorical dreams.Here are some other things you may have noticed about your dreams:●Dreams tell a story. They are like a TV show, with scenes, characters and props.●Dreams are egocentric. They almost always involve you.●Dreams incorporate things that have happened to you recently. They can also incorporate deep wishes and fears.A noise in the environment is often worked in to a dream in some way, giving some credibility to the idea that dreams are simply the brain’s response to random impulses.You usually cannot control a dream—in fact, many dreams emphasizeyour lack of control by making ir impossible to run or yell. (However, proponents of lucid dreaming try to help you gain control.)Dreaming is important. In sleep experiments where a person is woken up every time he/she enters REM sleep, the person becomes increasingly impatient and uncomfortable over time.21.The characteristics of sleeping are only some outward signs.22.A sleeping person is unconscious of most things happening in theenvironment.23.Reptiles, birds, fish and mammals all become unconscious of theirsurroundings for periods of time when they sleep.24. Mammals all dream during sleep.25. An electroencephalograph attached to a person’s head can record theperson’s brainwave activity.26. The faster the brainwave patterns, the deeper the sleep.27.

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them thereare four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide onthe best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheetwith a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 31 to35 are based on the following passage,Is teaching important? Well, of course it is. There was a time when the necessary knowledge could be taught to the young by family members. But as societies became more complex and division of labor more common, it was impossible for family members to teach the information and skills young people needed to become useful members of the society. As the need for specialists appeared, the job of teaching came into being in our country, and teaching as a job has been of increasing importance over the past hundredyears. Today, we have strict rules for teachers. We hope all children can attend schools. Many things tell us that teaching is indeed an "important" job. In recent years, there has been an increasing need for teachers to be "responsible". This means that the public expects teachers to succeed in teaching important information to the young. Teachers' salaries today, while not much, certainly are much higher than they were in years past. These increases have come about because people have realized that without enough salaries, people who have abilities will not become teachers. Today almost no one says that "anybody will do" for a teacher. The public expects "quality people" to teach the young, and progress is being made to give salaries that will make people who have abilities become teachers.31. Before the job of teaching came into being, _____.A. family members had been responsible for the education of the youngB. specialists had been in charge of teaching young peopleC. young people had had to be self-educatedD. the society had played an important role in educating young people32. The job of teaching came into being mainly because of _______ .A. the development of the societyB. the explosion of informationC. The need for specialistsD. the civilization of human beings33. Teachers' salaries are raised today in order to ________ .A. show the importance of teaching as a jobB. attract more qualified people to become teachersC. make teachers "responsible" in their teachingD. improve the quality of public teaching34. "Anybody will do" for a teacher means that _______ .A. almost all people want to become a teacherB. a teacher is so highly respected that people all want to help himC. a teacher will do whatever he can for his studentsD. the job of teaching is so easy that everybody can do it35. We know from the passage that ________ .A. it is important to be successful in teaching the youngB. enough salaries are necessary in making qualify people become teachersC. greater progress has to be made in teachingD. teaching is a product of the society's division of laborPassage TwoQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage,With the invention and development of television, entertainment hasgrown much more visual in character and is demanding less and less use of the imagination, considered by many to be man's greatest faculty. But its greatest inadequacy lies in its inability to exercise just those creative powers in men which are called upon and developed in the pursuit of a worthwhile hobby, This lack is not serious while a man is still fully employed in his day-to-day work which itself often gives him opportunities to create either with his hands or with his mind. At this time he seeks only some form of relaxation in his leisure. There comes a time, however, when he must retire from his occupation on account of age, and it is then that these shallower pastimes, useful enough has a form of relaxation, might cease to satisfy the hitherto active man. Today, many elderly people are finding this to be true, and seem constantly to be suffering from a sense of frustration after retirement, which reveals seem constantly to be suffering from a sense of frustration after retirement, which reveals itself in a short temper and slow degeneration of health, the two most common symptoms.36.
