Part II Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning)Directions: In this part, you will have 15 minutes to go over the passage quickly and answer the questions on Answer sheet 1.Rocket Renaissance------ T he Ear of Private Spaceflight Is About to StartBackgroundTwo years ago, people witnessed the first space travel by Spaceship One. Three people were involved in this flight: Burt Rutan, who designed the craft, and Mike Melvill, who flew it—although they were ably assisted by Paul Allen, one of the founders of Microsoft, who paid for it. Certainly, people have long been known that manned spaceflight was possible. What they showed was that it is not just a game for governments. Private individuals can play, too.People involvedNow, lots of people want to join in, and most of them have just met up at the International Space Development Conference in Los Angeles, to engage in that mixture of camaraderie and competition that characterises the beginnings of a new technology. And, as might be expected, they have two of the necessary ingredients of success: ideas and money.First, the money. So far, more than $1 billion is known to have been committed to building private spaceships and the infrastructure to support them. For example, Mr.. Rum's follow-up vehicle, Spaceship Two, is expected to cost its backers, Virgin Galactic, $240m for a fleet of five. The spaceport in New Mexico from which these are intended to fly will account for another $225m, although New Mexico's government is planning to raise this money itself.These are not small sums, of course. On the other hand, Virgin Galactic has already banked $14m of deposits towards the $200,000 fare from people who want to travel on Spaceship Two, even though it has yet to be built, let alone flown.All this suggests that spaceflight, if not exactly entering the age of the common man, is at least entering the age of the moderately prosperous enthusiast, For entrepreneurs, it is no longer necessary to have billions of dollars to get into space; millions will now do. And for those who merely wish to travel there, and have enough money in their bank account, reality is favourable.Get startedAs with aircraft a century ago, a lot of designs are competing with each other, and there is no certainty about which will succeed. The initial goal is to build a "suborbital" vehicle. This will not have to develop the tremendous speed needed to go into orbit around the Earth, instead, it will travel briefly into space, offering a short thrilling ride out of the atmosphere, a few minutes of weightlessness, and a spectacular view of the planet from about lOOkin. Four important criteria are how you take off, what fuel you use, what your craft is made of, and how you come back.Most people's vision of a rocket launch is straight up from the ground. But, of the five vehicles most likely to be developed, two will actually be launched from the air. Spaceship Two will be carded to high altitude by a purpose-built aircraft known as Eve before its rocket motor is ignited. And Explorer, a vehicle being designed by Space Adventures, will be launched from the top of a high-altitude Russian research plane called the M-55X, according to Eric Anderson, the firm's president and chief executive.As Dennis Jenkins, a consultant engineer at NASA, America's space agency, points out, this is similar to using a two-stage rocket to get into space, with the aircraft acting as the first stage. However, a plane offers several advantages over a throw-away booster rocket. First, it can be used again. Second, it uses oxygen from the air, rather than having to carry its own oxidant, which saves weight. Third, it is lifted by wings. That means the atmosphere is an advantage, rather than ahindrance. All this means that the spacecraft itself can be lighter and cheaper.Not everyone wants to run two vehicles, though. Jeff Greason, president of XCOR Aerospace, a firm based in Mojave, California, is developing a two-person, ground-launched suborbital rocketplane called Xerus. Launching from the ground, says Mr. Greason, is more difficult than air launching, but he reckons that in this case it has significantly lower operating costs.Fuel choicesThe second important design choice is the type of fuel. Unlike a jet engine, a rocket carries its own oxidant （氧第剂）.This is why it can operate in space. Sometimes that oxidant is oxygen itself, in liquid form. In that case the fuel, too, is usually liquid-either kerosene （煤油）or liquid hydrogen （氢）一and the two liquids are stored in separate tanks until they meet in the rocket's combustion chamber. Alternatively, both fuel and oxidant are solid, and are loaded pre-mixed, like the propellant of a firework rocket.Spaceship Two, though, follows the design of Spaceship One and is powered by a mixture of the two. The combustion chamber of a mixture is partly filled with solid fuel but no oxidant. However, the fuel is coated round the inside of the chamber, leaving a hole through the middle into which a liquid or gaseous oxidant can be pumped, and out of which the exhaust emerges. In Spaceship One, the fuel was rubber and the oxidant a liquefied gas called nitrous oxide （一氧化二氮）.Proponents of mixture say they are safer than either pure solid or pure liquid rockets. George Whittinghill, Virgin Galactic*s chief technologist, says that they are safer than solid rockets because the flow of oxidant can be controlled, and combustion halted, if there is a problem. Solid rockets, like the fireworks they resemble, cannot be stopped until they run out of fuel. On the other hand liquid-fuelled engines, though they can be shut down, are complex and temperamental. As Mr. Whittinghill observes, "they have pumps, seals, valves and lines everywhere, and there is a lot that potentially could go wrong."All this rather irrates those working on liquid propulsion. Richard Pournelle, head of investor relations at XCOR Aerospace, says the comparison is unfair. Liquid propulsion is routine in rocketry while hybrids are still rare. Numbers alone, therefore, mean that liquid-fuelled rockets blow up more often. That, Mr. Poumelle argues, does not prove that they are inherently unsafe. Chuck Lauer, vice- president of business development for Rocketplane, another firm going down the liquid-fuelled route, agrees and argues that kerosene is widely used as aviation fuel and nobody complains that it is unsafe.1.It is only two years ago that people became aware of the fact that manned spaceflight was actually possible.2.Spaceflight is possible for individuals who want to fly in the space and who have the money.3.The initial goal of building an aircraft is to make the vehicle fly, and speed was not such a primary consideration.4.All of the five vehicles most likely to be developed will be launched from the air.5.Although it is possible to launch the spaceship both from ground and from the air, some people believe it's more cost-effective to launch it from ground.6. A consultant engineer at NASA points out that using aircraft acting as the first Stage provides several advantages over a throw-away booster rocket.7.In the design considerations of a spaceship, fuel choice is as important as the method of launching.8. A rocket carries its own oxidant, and its fuel is usually either kerosene or.9.Proponents of mixture say that they are than either pure solid or pure liquid rockets.10.Proponents of kerosene cite the example of using it as fuelPart III Listening ComprehensionSection ADirections: At the end of each conversation, one or more questions will be asked about what was said.

The one most widely accepted today is (47) on the assumption that drama (48) from ritual. People might wonder the relationship between these two things. However, the argument for this view goes as follows.In the beginning, human beings viewed the (49) forces of the word一even seasonal changes 一as unpredictable, and they sought through various means to control these feared powers. Those (50) which appeared to bring the desired results were then (51) and repeated until they hardened into fixed rituals. Though it is simple to describe the process, they believe, the actual happening might last long. (52) stories arose which explained or veiled the (53) of the rites.As time passed, some rituals were abandoned, but the stories, later called myths, (54) and provided material for art and drama. Those who believe that drama came from ritual also argue that those rites contained the seed of theater (55) music, dance, and masks were almost always used. Furthermore, a suitable site had to be provided for (56) and there was clear division between the "acting area" and "auditorium".

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 thecorresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.Passage OneA feature of US education that we have not yet discussed is continuous classroom interaction between teacher and students. From Los Angeles to New York, and from Chicago to Houston, educators believe that students master information by discovering it for themselves. They believe that teachers do not actually teach, but simply help students learn. In this view, learning takes place through a process of challenging old ideas and asking questions. The faculty member aims to exchange ideas with students, rather than simply tell them what they should know.The concept of constantly exchanging ideas may seem strange to you at first. Perhaps you come from a country where people believe that whatever is written in a book must be true, and that teachers are always right in matters of learning. If so, you will probably find the United States system disquieting. Of course, American students know that their textbooks are mostly right and that their teachers are better informed than they are. But they think for themselves and their teachers expect them to ask questions and challenge ideas. The point, again, is not that Americans have the "right" approach to learning, but that the interactive classroom is a strong feature of US education.Comparatively few courses in the university classroom are so clearly organized for interaction. Nevertheless, the course in which a professor lectures steadily to hundreds of silent students is relatively rare in the United States. Enrollments are often limited (many classes will have fewer than 30 students), so that all students have a chance to participate. Where the lecture format is necessary, as in a freshman chemistry course, the large class meets once or twice a week, then divides into small group meetings. The lecture is used to present information efficiently 一for example, through slides and demonstrations as well as actual lecturing 一but group meetings provide important sessions where homework can be reviewed and questions answered.57.Which is the best summary of the information in the text?[A]How to adapt to classrooms in the United States.[B]Classroom in the United States: advantages and disadvantages.[C]Features of classrooms in the United States. [D] Students-teacher relationship in the United States.58.Which of the following is rare in a typical American classroom?[A] Intense interaction. [B] Heated discussion.[C] Listening to a lecture. [D] Frequent questions from students.59.What does the word "disquieting" (Line 3, Para. 2) mean?[A] Uncomfortable. [B] Great. [C] Noisy [D] Difficult.60.What is the aim of faculty members in the US universities?[A] To give students freedom. [B] To give them challenging tasks.[C] To tell the students what they should know. [D] To exchange ideas with the students.61.What is the propose of having a lecture course?[A] To present information effectively. [B] To encourage students exchange ideas with each other.[C] To save time and space. [D] To review homework-Passage TwoA boy aged eight who suffered brain damage at birth has spoken his first words after making friends with a dolphin. Well-wishers raised more than $10,000 to send Nikki Brice to Miami for treatment at a therapy center where handicapped youngsters are encouraged to swim with dolphins.After eight years of silence, Nikki's mother, Tabitha was astonished to hear him say "in" as she helped him out of the pool where he had been swimming with four dolphins, including their most famous, Flipper. Since that first breakthrough, eight days ago, he has learnt to say "please" and "duck".Family, friends and celebrities including the Spice Girls, the musician Ben Elton and film-actress Deborah Kerr helped to raise the money for him to spend nearly three weeks at the Human Dolphin Therapy Center at Miami's Sea-quarium. The center uses 40-minute sessions with trained dolphins alongside intensive conventional therapies. The conventional therapies included the usual one-to-one speech therapy sessions.Although Nikki had been nervous, his mother said that he soon enjoyed playing with the dolphins. Mrs. Brice, 30, said:"On the third day he was swimming in the dolphin enclosure. We hadn't been there for long when Nikki was told to get out of the water, at the end of the session, and he stood very quietly at the edge of the tank.""Nikki must have thought he wasn't going to be allowed to go swimming with the dolphins again because he suddenly pointed at the water and said 'in*. He was telling us he wanted to get back in to the water. We just stood there in shock because it was so unexpected. Once we got over it we quickly told him he could go in again and he soon cheered up. For years, I have hoped to hear Nikki speak."The person in charge of Nikki's treatment is David Nathanson, who pioneered dolphin therapy 20 years ago. The center claims to have helped more than 1,000 children to overcome problems, from brain damage to learning difficulties. However, the reasons behind is still unknown.62.According to the article, which of the following statements is TRUE about the boy in the story?[A] He has a heating problem. [B] He suffered brain damage at birth.[C] He is afraid of dolphins. [D] He cannot swim.63.How much money has been raised for the boy's treatment in the therapy center?[A] More than $10,000. [B] Less than $10,000. [C] More than $1,000. [D] Less than $1,000.64.What are the treatments used at the center?[A] Swimming sessions with dolphins. [B] Conventional therapies. [C] Both A and B. [D] Not mentioned.65.Which of the following words or phrases can best describe the results of the treatment?[A] Pessimistic. [B] Surprisingly good. [C] Opposite to people's expectation. [D] Unknown.66.Why is the treatment so helpful?[A] The children love to play with dolphins. [B] Conventional therapies are helpful.[C] Swimming helps. [D] The masons are still unknown.Part V ClozeDirections: There are 20 blanks in the following passage.

As you may have felt, learning English has become increasingly important, even though it is not your major. Don't be surprised. Just think about the need to communicate with foreign experts in the future work, or the need to read information and materials in English in your future work. Actually, learning English also provides an access to another culture. That being said, I would like to share with you my own experience of how to learn English.The most important thing in learning English, I believe, is to learn to use it. It means that English learning should not be regarded as an isolated learning activity in classrooms. It should be integrated into your daily life. In fact, more opportunities are presented to you in our everyday life. First, it provides more up-to-date language usages. Second, it gives you the context of language usage. After all, language is about communication. Thus, to learn to use it in real situations will help you better master it. Therefore, you should grasp every opportunity of using English. Moreover, you should also be aware of the learning that might occur in our daily life. For example, when you notice a brand name, or when you watch a foreign movie, try to identify useful expressions or usages.Of course, learning English is not easy. However, the process is full of fun. So long as you make efforts and find your ways, you will surely learn it well.Yours, Li Fang Part II Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning)Directions: In this part, you will have 15 minutes to go over the passage quickly and answer the questions on Answer sheet 1.For questions , 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 questions, complete the sentences with the information given in the passage.题 1 - 10Rocket RenaissanceThe Ear of Private Spaceflight Is About to Start Background Two years ago, people witnessed the first space travel by Spaceship One.

Some northern European countries have had “ black snow” from pollutants that have traveled through the air from other countries and have fallen with the snow. So air pollution is really a global problem.Air pollution can kill babies, older people, and those who have respiratory（呼吸的）diseases. As found in cities, air pollution increases the risks of certain lung diseases.Air pollution can cause both airplane and car accidents because it cuts down visibility （能见度） . There are other possible health dangers from air pollution that we don’ t know much about. For example, scientists are trying to find out whether chemicals that reach usfrom the air may cause changes in our cells. These changes might cause babies to be bornwith serious birth defects. Scientists are trying to learn how all the many chemicals areapt （易于的） to take into our bodies from air,water,food,and even medicines act together to affect our health and the way our bodies work.That is another reason why it is so important to begin to control pollution now instead of waiting until we learn all the answers.Air pollution costs us a lot of money. It corrodes（腐蚀） our buildings.It damages farm crops and forests. It has a destructive effect on our works of art. The cost of all thisdamage to our government is great. It would be much more worthwhile, both for us and forthe government, to spend our tax dollars on air pollution control.1.

This marked the beginning of one of the biggest days of my life, the day I would leave home and go to college. It is every high school senior's dream to suddenly wake up one morning and go to college. I was no exception. My entire senior year of high school was filled with thoughts and emotions about moving on. I thought it would never happen. So when the big day finally arrived, it felt more like a dream than reality. Still in dream mode, I took what would be my last shower in a private bathroom for months. After this, I ate my last breakfast at home. I crammed the last few boxes into an already over-packed sport utility vehicle and, along with my father and younger brother, began the journey to Penn State.Questions about what it would be like and thoughts of denial filled my head during the entire trip. It couldn't actually be the time to start college already! What would it be like? Would I get along with my roommate? After an infinite three-hour trip, I arrived on campus. Although it was difficult to find a parking spot, there were carts that I could use to move my boxes in once we did. I arrivedat the door of my new room, boxes and bins in my arms. Finally, the moment of truth had arrived. I turned the key and opened the door. I scanned the room, and was very relieved to find it was relatively large. No bunk beds. My roommate had apparently already moved in. This made it easier for me to unpack. Moving in was a little tricky. Everything was confusing with so many boxes to unpack and places to put things. As I was unpacking, I pondered where the proper place was for everything. Finally, I had the furniture rearranged, the computer set up, and the boxes unpacked. I was in business. Just as I was finishing, my roommate Dave arrived. We had been planning what to bring to the room beforehand. That made it easier for both of us to know what to bring, and also to get to know each other a little better. After we finished unpacking, my father, brother and I went to the dining hall across the street for lunch. The abundance of food choices amazed me. The dining hall reminded me of a restaurant buffet. With so many choices, I overate during my first on-campus meal. I had to remind myself to take it easy, and that there was no need to eat so much since I would have the same choices every day. After lunch, I prepared to say goodbye. As I walked back to the car to see my father and brother off, I realized that this signified the end of a part of my life. It also served as a beginning.I knew that once I arrived in college, I would face new experiences and challenges. It would be a time to learn and grow；a time to experiment, to make mistakes, and to learn from those mistakes. The first time in my life where I had total freedom. As I waved goodbye, I promised myself that I would take that freedom seriously and not abuse it. For the first time, I was alone on campus. A Saturday night and no classwork yet. With the large number of activities offered the first few nights, it became apparent that the university was aware of the problem of freshman drinking. I spent the first night watching a movie. My second day of college included orientation（适应）activities. I became acquainted with university policies, rules and procedures during information sessions. For the most part, however, I had free time. I visited every building where I would have classes, to make sure I wouldn't be late on the first day. Although it seemed like a large campus at first, it became easy to navigate through after a few days.1. The author waked up early at 6:30 to pack for the new college life.2. For the author, going to the college is not a common thing to him, and he has been longing to step into college campus.3. It seems that the author took a lot of things with him to the college.4. The author was nervous and anxious on the way to college because he had no idea of what the future college life would be.5. The author was the first room member who arrived at his dorm.6. The author found that his room was larger than that of other students.7. The author overate his first on-campus meal because he was so hungry after doing so much unpacking work.8.

Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements with no more than 10 words. Be sure to write your answers on the Answer Sheet.Children in Hungary start school at the age of six and everybody must go to school until the age of sixteen. The first type of school is primary school, where children may stay until they are fourteen, which is for eight years. But a lot of children choose to leave primary school earlier and go on to secondary school at the age of ten or twelve.Most secondary schools work with a four-year schedule, so their students are between fourteen and eighteen years of age. But quite a lot of secondary grammar schools tend to give more complex education and take children at the age of twelve for a six-year schedule or at the age of ten for a complete eight years' time.The basic aim of grammar schools is to prepare students for higher education, while secondary technical schools give more practical education and their finals include qualification in a given trade. Secondary vocational schools train skilled workers with a schedule of two or three years.The final exams at grammar school (at the age of eighteen) include Hungarian language and literature, history, mathematics, a foreign language and one or two chosen subjects. Students usually choose subjects depending on what kind of university or college they would like to go on to. Those with lower results have little chance to go on to forms of higher education - but they still have a possibility to become skilled workers by two years' training after finishing grammar school. There are certain trades which require secondary school finals and can be started only after secondary school.47. When do children in Hungary have to go to school?48. How many years of formal education have children received after finishing the more complex education in grammar school?49. What do the secondary technical schools emphasize on?50. What will those students do who failed to enter colleges or universities?51. What is the main idea of the article?Section BDirections:There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statement. 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 OneQuestions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.Young people in the United States have a wide variety of interests apart from their schoolwork. As children, both boys and girls play many of the same games. They swim, play baseball and basketball, go boating and camping, and have fun in many kinds of sports and outdoor activities. Numerous youth organizations give young people a chance to develop and broaden their interests, and to gain experience in working with others. Among these groups are the Boy Scouts, which serves more than four million boys, and the Girl Scouts, with nearly three million girls. These and other groups are guided by adults who volunteer their services. Civic, cultural and religious groups also sponsor special programs for young people.In farm areas, boys and girls learn to work together in agriculture, homemaking and citizenship activities. They compete for prizes in raising farm animals and growing crops. Most schools and colleges have some form of student government with election to choose class representatives. These elected officers speak for their fellow students at student council meetings with teachers and school officials. They also organize social activities and take part in such community projects as raising money for public welfare.52. Youth organization in the US tries to ___________.A) develop the students' interests and social abilitiesB) help improve the student's academic performanceC) develop students' ability to participate in the school managementD) help students obtain part-time jobs53. Boy Scout is guided by _________.A) Student UnionB) elected officersC) adults who volunteer their servicesD) student's parents54.

According to the passage, the money raised by student government may NOT be used to ________.A)build school buildings for poor areasB)help poor students back to schoolC)protect natural resourcesD)buy office equipments for themselvesPassage TwoQuestions 62 to 66 are based on the following passage.Normally a student must attend a certain number of courses to graduate, and each course gives him a credit that he may count toward a degree. A typical course consists of three classes per week for fifteen weeks. While attending a university a student will probably take four or five courses during a semester each year. It is possible to spread the period of work for the degree over a longer period. It is also possible for a student to move between one university and another during hisdegree course, though this is not, in fact, done as a regular practice.A student is given a grade for every course that he follows. The grade is recorded, and is available for the student to show to future employers. All this imposes a constant pressure and strain of work. But in spite of this some students still find time for great activity in student affairs. Elections to positions in student organizations arouse much enthusiasm. Students usually perform the effective work of maintaining discipline. Any student who is thought to have broken the rules, for example, by cheating has to appear before a student court. A student who has held one of these positions of authority is much respected and it will be of benefit to him later in his career.57. At least how many classes should a student normally attend each week?A) 36.B) 12.C) 20.D) 15.58.

Ask a right-wing American about the risks posed by climate change,and you can also make a___26___guess than if you didn’t know their political affiliation.Issues like these feel like they should be___27____by science,not our political tribes,but sadly,that’s not what happens.Psychology has long shown that education and intelligence won’t stop your politics from___28___your broader worldview,even if those beliefs do not match the hard evidence.Instead,your ability to weigh up the facts may depend on a less well-recognised trait-____29____.There is now a mountain of____30____to show that politics doesn’t just help predict people’s views on some scientific issues;it also affects how they interpret new information.This is why it is a___31___to think that you can somehow“correct”people’s views on an issue by giving them more facts,since study after study has shown that people have a tendency to___32___reject facts that don’t fit with their existing views.But smarter people shouldn’t be susceptible to prejudice swaying their opinions,right?Wrong.Other research shows that people with the most education,highest mathematical abilities,and the strongest tendencies to be reflective about their beliefs are the most____33____to resist information which should contradict their prejudices.This undermines the simplistic assumption that prejudices are the result of too much gut instinct and not enough deep thought.Rather,people who have the___34___for deeper thought about an issue can use those cognitive powers to justify what they already believe and find reasons to dismiss apparently___35___evidence.A)better I)flexibilityB)competitively J)identicalC)contrary K)informedD)curiosity L)likelyE)evidence M)mistakeF)explained N)selectivelyG)facility O)shapingH)factSection BHow to Fix the Internet[A]We have to fix the internet.After40years,it has begun to corrode,both itself and us.It is still a marvelous and miraculous invention,but now there are bugs in the foundation,bats in the belfry,and trolls in the basement.[B]I do not mean this to be one of those technophobic rants insulting the interne for rewiring our brains to give us the nervous attention span of Donald Trump on Twitter or pontificating about how we have to log off and smell the flowers.Those worries about new technologies have existed ever since Plato was concerned that the technology of writing would threaten memorization and oratory(演讲术).I love the interne and all of its digital offshoots.What I feel sad for is its decline.[C]There is a bug in its original design that at first seemed like a feature but has gradually,and now rapidly, been exploited by hackers and trolls and malevolent actors:Its packets are encoded with the address of their destination but not of their authentic origin.With a circuit-switched network,you can track or trace back the origins of the information,but that’s not true with the packet-switched design of the internet.[D]Compounding this was the architecture that Tim Berners-Lee and the inventors of the early browsers created for the World Wide Web.It brilliantly allowed the whole of the earth’s computers to be webbed together and navigated through hyperlinks.But the links were one-way.You knew where the links took you.But if you had a webpage or piece of content,you didn’t exactly know who was linking to you or coming to use your content.[E]All of that protected the potential for anonymity.You could make comments anonymously.Go to a webpage anonymously.Consume content anonymously.With a little effort,send email anonymously.And if you figured out a way to get into someone’s servers or databases,you could do it anonymously.[F]For years,the benefits of anonymity on the net outweighed its drawbacks.People felt more free to express themselves,which was especially valuable if they were holding different opinions or hiding a personal secret.This was celebrated in the famous1993New Yorker cartoon,“On the Internet,nobody knows you’re a dog.”[G]Now the problem is nobody can tell if you’re a troll.Or a hacker.Or a bot.Or a Macedonian(马其顿的) teenager publishing a story that the Pope has supported Trump.This has poisoned civil discourse,enabled hacking,permitted cyberbullying,and made email a risk.[H]The lack of secure identification and authentication(身份认证)inherent in the internet’s genetic code had also prevented easy transactions,obstructed financial inclusion,destroyed the business models of content creators,unleashed the overflow of spam(垃圾邮件)，and forced us to use passwords and two-factor authentication schemes that would have confused Houdini.The trillions being spent and the IQ points of computer science talent being allocated to tackle security issues make it a drag,rather that a spur,to productivity in some sectors.[I]It Plato’s Republic,we learn the tale of the Ring of Gyges.Put it on,and you’re invisible and anonymous. The question that Plato asks is whether those who put on the ring will be civil and moral.He thinks not,The internet has proven him correct.The web is no longer a place of community,no longer a marketplace.Every day more sites are eliminating comments sections.[J]If we could start from scratch,here’s what I think we would do：Greate a system that enables content producers to negotiate with aggregators(整合者)and search engines to get a royalty whenever their content is used,like ASCAP has negotiated for public performances and radio airings of its members’works.Embed(嵌入) a simple digital wallet and currency for quick and easy small payments for songs,blogs,articles,and whatever other digital content is for sale.Encode emails with an authenticated return or originating address.Enforce critical properties and security at the lowest levels of the system possible,such as in the hardware or in the programming language,instead of leaving it to programmers to incorporate security into every line of code they write.Build chips and machines that update the notion of an internet packet.For those who want,their packets could be encoded or tagged with metadata(元数据)that describe what they contain and give the rules for how it can be used.[K]Most internet engineers think that these reforms are possible,from Vint Cerf,the original TCP/IP coauthor,to Milo Medin of Google,to Howard Shrobe,the director of cybersecurity at MIT.“We don’t need to live in cyber hell,”Shrobe has argued.Implementing them is less a matter of technology than of cost and social will.Some people,understandably,will resist any reduction of anonymity,which they sometimes label privacy.[L]So the best approach,I think,would be to try to create a voluntary system,for those who want to use it,to have verified identification and authentication.People would not be forced to use such a system.If they wanted to communicate and surf anonymously,they could.But those of us who choose,at times,not to be anonymous and not to deal with people who are anonymous should have that right as well.That’s the way it works in the real world.[M]The benefits would be many.Easy and secure ways to deal with your finances and medical records.Small payment systems that could reward valued content rather than the current incentive to concentrate on clickbait for advertising.Less hacking,spamming,cyberbullying,trolling,and spewing of anonymous hate.And the possibility of a more civil discourse.36.The one-way hyperlinks enable users to do many things online anonymously.37.Although anonymity can make people conceal their identity online,now it has poisoned their online life.38.To adopt the voluntary system would be advantageous to our online life in a number of aspects.39.There are several ways to reduce anonymity if we can rebuild the internet from the very beginning.40.The author suggested inventing a system to let people go online anonymously or not as they wish.41.The author thinks the internet should be fixed not because he is afraid of new technologies but becauseproblems arise in it.42.Pubic opposition could become one of the biggest obstacles to carrying out the reforms.43.The hazard of anonymity mentioned by Plato has been shown on the internet.44.People used to think that anonymity online did more good than harm.45.It is the design of the internet that makes it impossible to find out where the information comes from. Section CPassage OneQuestions46to50are based on the following passage.In today’s world,online social media has become more powerful and the most destructive thing over worldwide.Although with time all generations have come to embrace the changes social network has brought about,teenagers and young adults are the most fanatic users of these sites.According to various research studies in the field of online social networks,it has been revealed that these sites are impacting the lives of the youth greatly. When using these sites such as Twitter,Facebook or Myspace,there are both positive and negative effects on the youth.Firstly,social media helps the youth and any other user updated with what is happening around the world, and helps the teenagers stay connected and interact with each other even if they are many miles apart.This strengthens their relationship.Even if they finished school and moved to different locations,they stay connected and update one another.In addition,social media sites have provided a platform whereby the youth can create groups and pages based on their common discipline and end up building connections and opportunities for their respective careers by updating various topics to discuss.Youth who have been interviewed say that social media has become their lifestyle and it makes their lives easier and more efficient.While on the one hand social network sites seem to bring people together and stay connected,on the other hand it causes many physical and mental health problems such as eyes infection,back problems,etc.Other negative effects of social networking various people suggested included encouraging poor spelling and grammar, exposing underage to online predators(捕食者),allowing spread of misinformation that is seen as fact, decreasing productivity as those who are supposed to e working spend time in the sites to chat,providing a perfect platform for cyberbullying and providing details that increase risks of identity theft.“The more social media we have,the more we think we’re connecting,yet we are really disconnecting from each other.”In conclusion,social networking clearly portrays both positive and negative effects on the youth.It is the decision of individuals whether to use it in a right way or wrong.46.According to the first paragraph,_______.A)both online and offline social media have developed quicklyB)social medial sites are always being attackedC)the effects of social medial were welcomed in the beginningD)the most crazy fans of social medial are the youth47.What is young people’s purpose in adopting the platform offered by social media sites?A.To improve their academic performance.B)To lay the foundation for their future careers.C)To practice their debate skills.D)To change their way of living.48.What does the author mainly imply about the disadvantages of social networking?A)Increasing the prevalence of oral errors.B)Putting minors in danger.C)Spreading falsehoods and rumors.D)Leaking users’personal information.49.The author’s attitude towards social media is______.A)objective B)positive C)negative D)impassive50.What’s the main topic of this passage?A)The introduction of online social media history.B)The research on online social media.C)The influence of online social media on the youth.D)The correct way to use online social media.Passage TwoQuestions51to55are based on the following passage.Cutting toxic levels of city air pollution to safer levels is simple,but not easy-it requires resolve.Yet,despite the key culprit(罪犯)in the UK being well known-diesel(柴油机的)vehicles-the government has been asleep at the wheel for years.Levels of nitrogen dioxide(二氧化氮)have been illegally high across much of the UK since2010.In2015 86%of major urban areas broke annual limits.Cutting this pollution means choking off diesel emissions and there is a wide range of effective measures available.Creating zones in city centres where polluting care are either banned or charged is important,while making cities safe for cycling cuts traffic too.Cleaner buses and taxis have an important role to play and change to the perverse taxes that encourage people to buy diesel over cleaner cars is needed.There is also some support for a revival of a scrappage scheme which saw dirty old bangers taken off the road.The environment and transport departments were well aware of all this and proposed many of these measures internally,only for the Treasury to reject most of them,arguing they“would be politically very difficult, especially given the impacts on motorists.”Motorists happen to be particularly badly exposed to air pollution,but the real political difficulty for the government is two humiliating legal defeats in two years where judges ruled its air pollution plans were so bad they were illegal.Ministers have now been forced to come up with a third plan,but clean air zones and car tax changes take time to clean up the air.Yet the UK government is also in the slow lane when it comes to emergency measures.When foul air descended on Paris in December,officials there swung into action.Public transport was made free and the number of cars allowed on roads was restricted,alternately barring those with odd and even licence plates.In the UK,during the same December smog,the government sent a few tweets.At the root of the problem are diesel cars,which successive governments across Europe have utterly failed to ensure meet legal emissions limits when driving in real-world conditions on the road.The gaming of regulatory tests by carmakers was blown open by the Volkswagen scandal.The scandal of governments prioritising supposed driver freedom over the lungs and health of their citizens is only now playing out.51.What does the author think of fixing air pollution in the first paragraph？A)It is a piece of cake.B)It needs political will.C)It is the main problem.D)It has a lone way to go.52.The aim of those in favor of a scrappage scheme is______.A)to reduce diesel emissions B)to encourage the use of old carsC)to retire low-end old vehicles D)to cut own on traffic accidents53.It can be inferred from the passage that the Treasury______.A)was quite clear about the current situation of air pollutionB)opposed almost every proposal about reducing air pollutionC)believed the anti-pollution measures to be unaffordableD)made such objections partly due to the effects on drivers54.Why do the UK ministers have to put forward a third air pollution plan?A)Because drivers are suffering the most from sir pollution.B)Because the first two plans were found illegal by the judges.C)Because long-term solutions are ignored by the government.D)Because emergency measures are falling behind.55.Which of the following measures did the French government take when smog suddenly arrived in December?A)Establishing clean air zones.C)Limiting vehicles based on license plate number.B)Reforming car taxes.D)Posting several announcements on Twitter.PartⅣTranslation(30minutes)西汉时期，中国的船队就达到了印度和斯里兰卡（Sri Lanka）,用中国的丝绸换取了琉璃（colored

So air pollution is really a global problem.Air pollution can kill babies, older people, and those who have respiratory（呼吸的）diseases. As found in cities, air pollution increases the risks of certain lung diseases.Air pollution can cause both airplane and car accidents because it cuts down visibility（能见度）. There are other possible health dangers from air pollution that we don’t know much about. For example, scientists are trying to find out whether chemicals that reach us from the air may cause changes in our cells. These changes might cause babies to be born with serious birth defects. Scientists are trying to learn how all the many chemicals are apt （易于的）to take into our bodies from air, water, food, and even medicines act together to affect our health第 2 张共 17 张and the way our bodies work. That is another reason why it is so important to begin to control pollution now instead of waiting until we learn all the answers.Air pollution costs us a lot of money. It corrodes （腐蚀）our buildings. It damages farm crops and forests. It has a destructive effect on our works of art. The cost of all this damage to our government is great. It would be much more worthwhile, both for us and for the government, to spend our tax dollars on air pollution control.1.Air pollution may lead to airplane accidents because .A. it may cause pilots to be illB. engines may fail from the air-borne dirtC. visibility is reducedD. it brings a lot of black snow2.

The Trade Union Congress, predominantly male, has proposed a motion arguing that high heels are disrespectful to women while they also contribute to long term injuries. They propose instead that women wear “sensible shoes” with an inch heel limit in an attempt to avoid future foot and back pain as well as injuries. The motion is due to be debated at next month’s conference. The motion states: “Congress believes high heels may look glamorous on the Hollywood catwalks but are completely in appropriate for the day-to-day working environment. Feet bear the burden of daily life, and for many workers prolonged standing, badly fitted footwear, and in particular high heels can be a hazard. Around two million days a year are lost through sickness as a result of lower limb disorders. Wearing high heels can cause long-term foot problems and also serious foot, knee and back pain and damaged joints. Many employers in the retail sector force women workers to wear high heels as part of their dress code. More must be done to raise awareness of this problem so that women workers and their feet are protected.”Nadline Dorries, the Tory Member of Parliament, however criticized the motion and said the extra height heels give women can help them when in the workplace. “I’m 5ft 3in and need every inch of my Christian Louboutin heels to look my male colleagues in the eye,”she said. “If high heels were banned in Westminster, no one would be able to find me. The Trade Union leaders need to get real, stop using第 4 张共 17 张obvious sexist tactics by discussing women’s stilettos to divert tension away from Labor chaos.”Michelle Dewberry, a former winner of The Apprentice, said the motion was patronizing（自认为高人一等的）. “This is absolutely ridiculous and I think these union officials should be spending their time dealing with more important issues”, she said. “I’m at work in five-inch heels and perfectly able to do my job. Heels are sexy, they boost your confidence and they are empowering to women. I can’t imagine these officials debating a motion about how tightly men should wear their ties. Wearing heels is a personal choice.”6. Which of the following best explains what stiletto heels are?A. Very high heels that women wear.B. Shoeswith an inch heel limitC. High heels most appropriate for catwalks.D.Shoes most suitable for retail sector worker 7. Why do the Trade Union leaders propose to ban stiletto heels from the workplace?A. Because they don’t want to have the workplacelook like Hollywood.B. Because they think the stiletto heels give womenexcuse to ask for a sick leave.C. Because the shoes are believed to be harmful topeople’s health.D. Because they hold the idea that women themselvesshould decide what to wear.8. Why did Nadline Dorries criticize the motion?A. Because she feels the extra height helps people tofind her.B. Because she feels the extra height improves hervision.C. Because she feels the extra height adds to herpersonal charm.D. Because she feels the extra height makes her moreconfident.第 5 张共 17 张9. What is Michelle Dewberry’s opinion on themotion?A. The union leaders should mind their own business.B. Women are perfectly able to decide what to wear.C. Union officials shouldn’t have debates on anymotions.D. Women will never be hurt wearing the stilettoheels.10. What can you infer from the passage?A. Union leaders care about women employees verymuch.B. Women think differently from male union leaders.C. There is going to be a heated debate over thismotion.D.

大学英语四级模拟试题及答案篇1Part Ⅱ Reading Comprehension (35 minutes)Directions: There are 4 passages in this part.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 correspondingletter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage:Some radio singals were heard in 1967.They were coming from a point in the sky where there was unknown star.They were coming very regularly,too:about once a second,if they were controlled by clock.?The scientists who heard the signals did not tell anybody else.They were rather afraid to tell in case they frightened people.The signals were coming from a very small body—no bigger,perhaps than the earth.Was that why no light could be seen from it?Or were the signals coming from a planet that belonged to some other star??There was no end to the questions,but the scientists kept the news secret.“Perhaps there are intelligent beings out there.”they thought,“who are trying to send messages to other planets,or to us?So the news was not given to the newspaper.Instead,the scientists studied the signalsand searched for others like them...Well,all that happened in 1967 and 1968.Since then scientists have learnt more about those strange,regular,radio signals.And they have told the story,of course.The signals do not come from a planet;they come from a new kind of star called a “pulsar””.About a hundred other pulsars have now been found,and most of themare very like the first one.?Pulsars are strong radio stars.They are the smallest but the heaviest stars we know at present.A handful of pulsar would weigh a few thousand tons.Their light—if they give much light—is too small for us to see.But we can be sure of this,no intelligent beings are living on them.21. The radio signals discussed in this passage____.A.were regularB.were controlled by a clockC.were heard in 1967 onlyD.were secret messages22. The radio singals were sent by____.A.a satelliteB.a planetC.a sky body which was unknown at that timeD.intelligent beings who were unknown at that time23. The scientists did not tell people about the signals because____.A.the singals stood for secret messagesB.people would ask them too many questionsC.they did not want to frighten peopleD.they stood for unimportant messages24. A pulsar is____.A. a small heavy star which sends out strong radio signals and cannot be seenB. a small heavy planet which sends out strong radio signalsand cannot be seenC. a small heavy satellite which sends out strong radio signals and cannot be seenD. a small intelligent being who sends out strong radio signals and cannot be seen 25. Which of the following is true?A.One of the pulsars found by scientists sends radio signals.B.Pulsar began to send radio singals in 1967.C.Scientists have searched for pulsars for many years but found none.D.Scientists have found many pulsars since 1967.Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage:Over vast areas of every continent,the rainfall and vegetation necessary for life are disappearing.Already more than 40 percent of the earth's land is desert ordesert?like.About 628 million people—one out of seven—live in these dry regions.In the past,they have managed to survive,but with difficulty.[ZZ(Z]Now largely through problems caused by modern life,their existence is threatened by the slow,steady spread of the earth's deserts.Scientists still do not understand all the complex problems of the desert,but there have been many ideas for saving the land.Sandi Arabia has planted 10 milliontrees to help keep the sand from taking over fertile areas.The Israelis are again using some of the water collection systems left by the ancient people in theNegev desert.They plan to water their orchards with the extra water.Some Sahel farmers still raise cattle on their poor farm land,but before the cattle are sold,they are taken to greener lands in the south to get fat.26. What is the article mainly concerned?A.The problem of spreading desert.B.The rainfall and vegetation in desert areas.C.The water collection systems.D.The difference between modern life and ancient life.27. “one out of seven” refers to____.A.more than a third of the lands' earthB.the percentage of the earth's land that is desert-likeC.the number of people who live in dry regionsD.a day of a week28. In paragraph 2,“they are taken to the greener lands in the south.”Theyrefers to____.A.the Sahel farm landB.the farmersC.the cattlesD.the trees29. How many ideas for saving the land are described?A.Five.B.Two.C.Four.D.Three.30. Which of the following statements is true, according to the passage?A.The earth's desert are slowly spreading.B.One out of 10 people lives in dry regions.C.Their life in the desert is threatened now by traditional problems.D.New water wells can solve the problem in Africa's desert.Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:Telephone, television, radio, and telegraph all help people communicate witheach other. Because of these devices, ideas and news of events spread quickly allover the world. For example, within seconds, people can know the results of anelection in another country. An international football match comes into the homesof everyone with a television set.News of a disaster such as an earthquake or aflood can bring help from distant countries within hours, help is on the way. Because of modern technology like the satellites that travel around the world, information travels fast.How has this speed of communication changed the world? To many people,the world has become smaller. Of course this does not mean that the world is actually physically smaller. It means that the world seems smaller. Two hundred years ago,communication between the continents took a long time. All news was carried on ships that took weeks or even months to cross the ocean. In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries,it took six weeks for news from Europe to reach America.This time difference influenced people's actions. For example, one battle, or fight, in the War of 1812 between England and the United States could have been avoided. A peace agreement had already been signed. Peace was made in England, but the news of peace took six weeks to reach America. During these six weeks, the large and serious Battle of New Orleans was fought. Many people lost their lives after a peace treaty had been signed.They would not have died if news had come in time.In the past,communication took much time than it does now.?There was a good reason why the world seemed so much larger than it does today.31. News spreads fast because of____.A.modern transportationB.new technologyC.the change of the worldD.a peace agreement32. According to this passage,____is very important to people in a disaster area.A.fast communicationB.modern technologytest newsD.new ideas33. Which of the following statements is true?A.The world now seems smaller because of faster communication.B.The world is actually smaller today.C.The world is changing its size.D. The distance between England and America has changed since the War of 181234. Two hundred years ago,news between the continents was carried____.A.by telephone and telegraphB.by landC.by airD.by sea35. The New Orleans Battle could have been avoided if the peace agreement had been signed____.A.by both sidesB.in timeC.in AmericaD.in EnglandQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:The concept of personal choice in relation to health behaviors is an important one.An estimated 90 percent of all illnesses may be preventable if individuals would make sound personal health choices based upon current medical knowledge.We all enjoy our freedom of choice and do not like to see it restricted when it is within the legal and moral boundaries of society.[ZZ)]The structure of American society allows us to make almost all our own personal decisions that may concern our health.If we so desire,we can smoke,drink excessively, refuse towear seatbelts,eat whatever foods we want,and live a completely sedentary life-style without any excuse.The freedom to make such personal decisions is a fundamental aspect of our society,although the wisdom of these decisions can be questioned.Personal choices relative to health often cause a difficulty.As one example,a teenager may know the facts relative to smoking cigarettes and health but may be pressured by friends into believing it is the socially accepted thing to do.?A multitude of factors,both inherited and environmental,influence the development of health?related behaviors,and it is beyond the scope of this text to discuss all these factors as they may affect any given individual.However,the decision to adopt a particular health-related behavior is usually one of personal choices.There are healthy choices and there are unhealthy choices.In discussing the moral of personal choice,Fries and Crapo drew a comparison.They suggest that to knowingly give oneself over to a behavior that has a statistical probability of shortening life is similar to attempting suicide.[ZZ)]Thus,for those individuals who are interested in preserving both the quality and quantity of life,personal health choices should reflect those behaviors that are associated with statistical probability of increased vitality and longevity.36. The concept of personal choice concerning health is important because____.A.personal health choices help cure most illnessesB.it helps raise the level of our medical knowledgeC.it is essential to personal freedom in American societyD.wrong decisions could head to poor health37. To “live a completely sedentary life?style”(Para. 1) inthe passage means____.”A.to live an inactive lifeB.to live a decent lifeC.to live a life with complete freedomD.to live a life of vice38. Sound personal health choice is often difficult to make because____.A.current medical knowledge is still insufficientB.there are many factors influencing our decisionsC.few people are willing to trade the quality of life for longevityD.people are usually influenced by the behavior of their friends39. To knowingly allow oneself to pursue unhealthy habits is compared by Fries and Crapo to____.A.improving the quality of one's lifeB.limiting one's personal health choiceC.deliberately ending one's lifeD.breaking the rules of social behavior40. According to Fries and Crapo sound health choices should be based on____.A.personal decisionsws of societyC.statistical evidenceD.opinions of friendsPart Ⅲ Vocabulary and Structure (20 minutes)Directions:There are 30 incomplete sentences in this part.For each sentence there are four choices marked A),B),C) and D).Choose the ONE answer that best completes the sentence.Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.41. ____he thought of it,the stars seemed always large and clear before the dawn of Christmas Day.A.As forB.Now thatC.BecauseD.As soon as42.

大学英语四级考试（CET4）大学英语四级考试参考答案(恩波英语模考答案)Part ⅠWritingStudying Abroad With Low AgeNowadays, there is a trend that more and more children are sent to study abroad at an early age, some in high school and some in middle school.How to explain this trend? On one hand, with the development of economy, companies and institutions at home are giving more and more emphasis on overseas experiences. So, pursuing overseas study has become a kind of short cut in gaining a better future for a child. On the other, the rapid economic progress in the past few years in China has enabled more and more parents to afford the huge cost for their children’s overseas study.As for me, overseas study is a helpful way to get both advanced knowledge and necessary experiences, but overseas study at an early age is neither necessary nor beneficial. The students may be too young to either tend for themselves or think for themselves. I do think that overseas study can contribute to one’s self-improvement, but it’s better to be pursued after one has finished his college study at home, when he is more capable of learning and living on his own.Part ⅡReading Comprehension(Skimming and Scanning)1.

M: I’d appreciate it if you would send the report to State University as soon as possible.W: All right, Mr. Smith. But I must charge you four dollars as our usual fee.Q: Where did this conversation probably take place?12. M: Make 30 copies for me and 20 copies for Mr. Brown.W: Certainly, sir. As soon as I make the final corrections on the original.Q: What is the probable relationship between the two speakers?13. W: I’d like to exchange this brown cloth that I bought yesterday for the blue one.M: Let’s see now. The blue one is only ＄10.30. The brown one is ＄11.60.Q: How much money does the clerk owe the woman?14. M: I didn’t know till recently that Helen was going to be engaged to John, that rude guy.W: That took us all by surprise.Q: What does the woman say about Helen?15. W: I hope we have a good view.M: I’ve got some great tickets. Right behind the goal. Perfect view!Q: What are they probably doing?16. M: Mind if I put my raincoat here on the wall?W: Not at all.

W: I can hardly hear what the teacher is saying.M: I don’t understand why he doesn’t speak a bit louder before such a big audience.Q: Why is the woman complaining?Conversation OneM: Would you like to play snooker?W: I’ve never tried it before, but I’d like to learn. Can you show me how to play? It looks very difficult.M: The rules are quite simple. Stand like this and hold the end of the cue in one hand. Put the other hand on the table, behind the ball you want to hit.W: Like this?M: This leg must be straight. That’s right. Put your head closer to the cue, so that you can see the exact direction that you will hit the ball in. That’s good.W: Now, I hit the white ball onto the other balls and try to hit them into the pockets, right?M: Yes, that’s right. You can see that there are 15 colored balls. Seven have stripes and seven have spots. The last ball is black.W: We take it in turns to hit the white ball and try to hit one of our balls into the pockets, right? If I hit a stripe into a pocket first, I play stripes, don’t I? We each play our balls—stripes or spots—and then we must hit the black ball into a pocket to win.M: That’s right. You’ve obviously watched people play before. OK, I’ll put all the balls into the correct starting positions and we can begin.W: The balls have numbers on them. What does that mean?M: That’s just for identification. We don’t need to worry about that when we are just playing for fun.19. Where did this conversation probably take place?20. Which is TRUE about the snooker according to the conversation?21. According to the man, what do the numbers on the balls mean?Conversation TwoW: Hey, Ray, what are you doing right now?M: Not much, Joanna. Do you want to hang out?W: Yes, I do. I’m at home myself right now with nothing much to do.M: Me, too. What would you like to do?W: Well, we could go to a movie. Have you seen Shrek 2?M: I have, actually. How about the movie, Million Dollar Baby?W: Hmm... I’ve seen that, too. We could go for a walk in the park.M: We could, but it looks like it’s going to rain soon.W: I guess that’s right. Why don’t we go shopping?M: I’d really rather not. I’ll be too tempted to buy something that I can’t afford!W: OK. I guess we’d better not do that, either, then. What do you want to do?M: I don’t know. Do you want to go bowling at the new bowling alley on 1st street?W: I would like to, but I injured my wrist last week.M: Let’s see. Do you want to go to a bar and sing some karaoke?W: That sounds interesting, but I can’t drink alcohol with the medicine I’m taking.M: Doesn’t sound like that’ll be fun, then. Do you want to come here?W: I don t have a car.M: Goodness, we’re not having much luck here, are we?W: Why don’t you come here? We could play poker cards!M: That sounds great! See you then!22. What is the probable relationship between the two speakers?23. Why don’t they go to a movie?24. Why don’t they sing karaoke?25. What will the man probably do?Passage OneAmericans are great law followers. Driving habits illustrate their respect for the law. A driver will usually stop for a red light, even when there are no other cars around. People treat the lines marking streets and roads as definite boundaries, not just decorations. Vehicles yield to those with right of way. Actually, though, drivers don’t always keep traffic rules. For example, many drivers ignore freeway speed limits. But Americans generally drive with careful attention to the rules. History gives several clues to explain Americans attitude towards the law. The US Constitution, the basis of all laws in America, reflects many historical influences. The Magan Carta, or “Great Charter,”was one. King John of England was forced to sign this document in 1215. It placed the king under the authority of the law. No longer was the king law; rather, the law was king. America’s Christian heritage has also shaped how people view the law. For one thing, the Bible reveals God’s unchanging laws which people must obey. It also teaches people to respect human authority as established by God. Of course, not everyone in America abides by the law. Crime is a growing problem. For that reason, law enforcement officials will never be out of a job. Police officers have their hands full trying to arrest lawbreakers. Detective agencies spend countless hours trying to figure out unsolved crimes. Nevertheless, most Americans still like to believe that “the long arm of the law” will eventually catch the bad guys.26. Which aspect does not account for the Americans respect for the law?27. What kind of change did the “Great Charter” bring?28. What’s the best title for the passage?Passage TwoThe first step to stop drug abuse is to know why people start to use drugs. The reasons people abuse drugs are as different as people are from one to another. But there seems to be one common thread: people seem to take drugs tochange the way they feel. They want to feel better or feel happy or to feel nothing. Sometimes, they want to forget or to remember. People often feel better about the roseleaf when they are under the influence of drugs. But the effects don’t last long. Drugs don’t solve problems. They just postpone them. No matter how far drugs may take you, it’s always a round trip. After a while, people who miss drugs may feel worse about themselves, and then they may use more drugs. If someone you know is using or abusing drugs, you can help. The most important part you can play is to be there. You can let your friends know that you care. You can listen and try to solve the problem behind your friends need to use drugs. Two people together can often solve a problem that seems too big for one person alone. Studies of heavy abusers in the United States show that they feel unloved and unwanted. They don’t have close friends to talk to. When you or your friends take the time to care for each other, you’re all helping to stop drug abuse. After all, what is a friend for?29. Why do some people abuse drugs?30. According to the passage, what is the best way to stop friends from abusing drugs?31. What are the findings of the studies about heavy drug users?Passage ThreeCare in what you eat and drink is the most important health rule; stomach upsets are the most likely travel health problem since 30% to 50% of travelers in a two week stay may experience this. If the food available is poor or limited, if you’re traveling hard and fast and therefore missing meals, or if you simply lose your appetite, you can soon start to lose weight and place your health at risk. Make sure your diet is well balanced. Eggs, tofu, beans, and nuts are all safe ways to get protein. Fruit you can peel, like bananas and oranges, is always safe and a good source of vitamins. Try to eat plenty of grains and bread. Remember that although food is generally safer if it is cooked well, overcooked food loses much of its value. If your diet isn’t well balanced or if your food intake is insufficient, it’s a good idea to take vitamin and iron pills. In hot climates make sure you drink enough—don’t rely on feeling thirsty to indicate when you should drink. Always carry a water bottle with you on long trips. Excessive sweating can lead to loss of salt and therefore weaken your muscles. Salt tablets are not a good idea as a preventative, but in places where salt is not used much, adding salt to food can help.32. Why do so many people experience stomach upset during their travel?33. Which of the following have the same effect as vitamins pills?34. What is the proper drinking habit?35. Why do people’s muscles feel weakened?。

She was puzzled and somewhat disappointed because she liked the individual otherwise.He had a perfect resume and gave good responses to her questions, but the fact that he never looked her in the eye said “untrustworthy,” so she decided to offer the job to her second choice.“It wasn’t until I attended a diversity workshop that I realized the person we passed over was the perfect person,” Tiffany confesses. What she hadn’t known at the time of the interview was that the candidate’s “different” behavior was simply a cultural misunderstanding . He was an Asian-American raised in a household where respect for those in authority was shown by averting(避开) your eyes.“I was just thrown off by the lack of ye contact; not realizing it was cultural,”Tiffany says. “I missed out ,but will not miss that opportunity again.”Many of us have had similar encounters with behaviors we perceive as different. As the world becomes smaller and our workplaces more diverse, it is becoming essential to expand our under-standing of others and to reexamine some of our false assumptions .Hire AdvantageAt a time when hiring qualified people is becoming more difficult ,employers who can eliminate invalid biases(偏爱) from the process have a distinct advantage .My company, Mindsets LLC ,helps organizations and individuals see their own blind spots .A real estate recruiter we worked with illustrates the positive difference such training can make .“During my Mindsets coaching session ,I was taught how to recruit a diversified workforce. I recruited people from different cultures and skill sets .The agents were able to utilize their full potential and experiences to build up the company .When the real estate market began to change, it was because we had a diverse agent pool that we were able to stay in the real estate market much longer than others in the same profession.”Blinded by GenderDale is an account executive who attended one of my workshops on supervising a diverse workforce . “Through one of the sessions ,I discovered my personal bias ,” he recalls . “I learned I had not been looking at a person as a whole person , and being open to differences .” In his case , the blindness was not about culture but rather gender .“I had a management position open in my department ;and the two finalists were a man and a woman . Had I not attended this workshop , I would have automatically assumed the man was the best candidate because the position required quite a bit of extensive travel . My reasoning would have been that even though both candidates were great and could have been successful in the position , I assumed the woman would have wanted to be home with her children and not travel .”Dale’s assumptions are another example of the well-intentioned but incorrect thinking that limits an organization’s ability to tap into the full potential of a diverse workforce .“I learned from the class that instead of imposing my gender biases into the situation , I needed to present the full range of duties, responsibilities and expectations to all candidates and allow them to make an informed decision .” Dale credits the workshop , “because it helped me make decisions based on fairness .”Year of the Know-It-AllDoug is another supervisor who attended one of my workshops .He recalls a major lesson learned from his own employee.“One of my most embarrassing moments was when I had a Chinese-American employee put in a request to take time off to celebrate Chinese New Year . In my ignorance , I assumed he had his dates wrong , as the first of January had just passed . When I advised him of this , I gave him a long talking-to about turning in requests earlywith the proper dates .“He patiently waited , then when I was done , he said he would like Chinese New Year did not begin January first , and that Chinese New Year ,which is tied to the lunar cycle ,is one of the most celebrated holidays on the Chinese calendar . Needless to say , I felt very embarrassed in assuming he had his dates mixed up . But I learned a great deal about assumptions , and that the timing of holidays varies considerably from culture to culture .“Attending the diversity workshop helped me realize how much I could learn by simply asking questions and creating dialogues with my employees , rather than making assumptions and trying to be a know-it-all ,” Doug admits . “The biggest thing I took away from the workshop is learning how to be more ‘inclusive’ to differences.”A better Bottom LineAn open mind about diversity not only improves organizations internally , it is profitable as well . These comments from a customer service representative show how an inclusive attitude can improve sales .”Most of my customers speak English as a second language . One of the best things my company has done is to contract with a language service that offers translations over the phone . It wasn’t until my boss received Mindsets’ training that she was able to understand how important inclusiveness was to customer service . As result , our customer base has increased .”Once we start to see people as individuals . and discard the stereotypes , we can move positively toward inclusiveness for everyone . Diversity is about coming together and taking advantage of our differences and similarities . It is about building better communities and organizations that enhance us as individuals and reinforce our shared humanity .When we begin to question our assumptions and challenge what we think we have learned from our past , from the media, peers , family , friends , etc , we begin to realize that some of our conclusions are flawed(有缺陷的) or contrary to our fundamental values . We need to train our-selves to think differently , shift our mindsets and realize that diversity opens doors for all of us ,creating opportunities in organizations and communities that benefit everyone .1.What bothered Tiffany during an interview with her candidate?A)He just wouldn’t look her in the eye.B)He was slow in answering her questions.C)His answers to some of her questions were irrelevant.D)His answers to some of her questions were irrelevant .2.

After one of the workshops ,account executive Dale realized that .A) He had hired the wrong person.B) He could have done more for his company.C) He had not managed his workforce well.D) He must get rid of his gender bias.6.

D)He readily approved it.8. Doug felt when he realized that his assumption was wrong.9. After attending Mindsets’ workshops, the participants came to know theimportance of to their business.10. When we view people as individuals and get rid of stereotypes , we canachieve diversity and benefit from the between us.Part III Listening Comprehension (35 Minutes)Section ADirections: In this section, you will hear 8 short conversations and 2 long conversations.

For these blanks, you can either use the exact words you havejust heard or write down the main points in your own words. Finally, whenthe passage is read for the third time, you should check what you havewritten .Around 120 years ago, Ebbinghaus began his study of memory. He(36) .on studying how quickly the human mind can remember (37) . One result of his research is known as the total time hypothesis(假设), which simply means the amount you learn (38) on the time you spend trying to learn it . This can be taken as our first rule of learning.Although it is usually true that studying for four hours is better than studying for one, there is still the question of how we should use the four hours. For example, is it better to study for four hours (39) or to study for one hour a day for four days in a (40) ?. The answer, as you may have (41) , is that it is better to spread out the study times. This (42) , through which we can learn more (43) .by dividing our practice time, is known as the distribution of practice effect. Thus, (44).But we’re not finished yet. We haven’t considered how we should study over very short periods of time. (45).Should you look at the same word in rapid succession, or look at the word and then have some delay before you look at it again ?(46).Part IV Reading Comprehension (reading in depth) (25 minutes)Section ADirections:In this section, there is a passage with ten blanks.

They never write, unless assignments 47 it . They fine the writing process 48 and difficult.How awful to be able to speak in a language but not to write in it- 49 English , with its rich vocabulary . Being able to speak but not write is like living in an 50 mansion(豪宅) and never leaving one small room . When I meet students who think they can’t write, I know as a teacher my 51 is to show them the rest of the rooms . My task is to build fluency while providing the opportunity inherent in any writing activity to 52 the moral and emotional development of my students . One great way to do this is by having students write in a journal in class every day.Writing ability is like strength training. Writing needs to be done 53 , just like exercise ; just as muscles grow stronger with exercise , writing skills improve quickly with writing practice. I often see a rise in student confidence and 54 after only a few weeks of journal writing .Expressing oneself in writing is one of the most important skills I teach to strengthen the whole student. When my students practice journal writing, they are practicing for their future academic, political, and 55 lives . They build skills so that some day they might write a great novel, a piece of sorely needed legislation, or the perfect love letter. Every day that they write in their journals puts them a step 56 to fluency , eloquence (雄辩), and command of language .Section BDirections:There are 2 passages in this section. 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 choiceand mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single linethrough the centre.Passage OneQuestions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.The January fashion show, called FutureFashion , exemplified how far green design has come. Organized by the New York-based nonprofit Earth Pledge, the show inspired many top designers to work with sustainable fabrics for the first time. Several have since made pledges to include organic fabrics in their lines.The designers who undertake green fashion still face many challenges. Scott Hahn, cofounder with Gregory of Rogan and Loomstate, which uses all-organic cotton, says high-quality sustainable materials can still be tough to fine . “Most designers with existing labels are finding there aren’t comparable fabrics that can just replace what you’re doing and shat your customers are used to,” he says. For example, organic cotton and non-organic cotton are virtually indistinguishable once woven into a dress. But some popular synthetics, like stretch nylon, still have few eco-friendly equivalents.Those who do make the switch are finding they have more support. Last year the influential trade show Designers & Agents stopped charging its participation fee for young green entrepreneurs(企业家) who attend its two springtime shows in Los Angeles and New York and gave special recognition to designers whose collections are at least 25% sustainable . It now counts more than 50 green designers, up from fewer than a dozen two years ago. This week Wal-Mart is set to announce a major initiative aimed at helping cotton farmers go organic: it will buy transitional(过渡型的) cottonat higher prices , thus helping to expand the supply of a key sustainable material . “Mainstream is about to occur,” says Hahn.Some analysts(分析师) are less sure . Among consumers, only 18%are even aware that ecofashion exists, up from 6% four years ago. Natalie Hormilla, a fashion writer, is an example of the unconverted consumer, when asked if she owned any sustainable clothes, she replied: “Not that I’m aware of.” Like most consumers, she finds little time to shop, and when she does, she’s on the hunt for “cute stuff that isn’t too expensive.” By her own admission, green just isn’t yet on her mind. But –thanks to the combined efforts of designers, retailers and suppliers –one day it will be.57. What is said about FutureFashion?A) It inspired many leading designers to start going green.B) It showed that designers using organic fabrics would go far.C) It served as an example of how fashion shows should be organized.D) It convinced the public that fashionable clothes should be made durable.58. According to Scott Hahn, one big challenge to designers who will go organic isthat .A) much more time is needed to finish a dress using sustainable materials .B) they have to create new brands for clothes made of organic materials .C) customers have difficulty telling organic from non-organic materials .D) quality organic replacements for synthetics are not readily available .59. We learn from Paragraph 3 that designers who undertake green fashion .A) can attend various trade shows free .B) are readily recognized by the fashion worldC) can buy organic cotton at favorable prices .D) are gaining more and more support .60. What is Natalie Hormilla’s attitude toward ecofashion?A) She doesn’t seem to care about it. C) She is doubtful of its practical value.B) She doesn’t think it is sustainable D) She is very much opposed to the idea61. What does the author think of green fashion?A) Green products will soon go mainstream.B) It has a very promising future.C) Consumers have the final say.D) It will appeal more to young people.Passage TwoQuestions 62 to 66 are based on the following passage.Scientists have devised a way to determine roughly where a person has lived using a strand(缕) of hair , a technique that could help track the movements of criminal suspects or unidentified murder victims .The method relies on measuring how chemical variations in drinking water show up in people’s hair.“You’re what you eat and drink, and that’s recorded in you hair,” said Thure Cerling, a geologist at the University of Utah.While U.S diet is relatively identical, water supplies vary. The differences result from weather patterns. The chemical composition of rainfall changes slightly as raid clouds move.Most hydrogen and oxygen atoms in water are stable , but traces of both elements are also present as heavier isotopes (同位素) . The heaviest raid falls first .As a result, storms that form over the Pacific deliver heavier water to California than to Utah.Similar patterns exist throughout the U.S. By measuring the proportion of heavier hydrogen and oxygen isotopes along a strand of hair, scientists can construct a geographic timeline. Each inch of hair corresponds to about two months.Cerling’s team collected tap water samples from 600 cities and constructed a mop of the regional differences. They checked the accuracy of the map by testing 200 hair samples collected from 65 barber shops.They were able to accurately place the hair samples in broad regions roughly corresponding to the movement of raid systems.“It’s not good for pinpointing (精确定位),” Cerling said . “It’s good for eliminating many possibilities.”Todd Park, a local detective, said the method has helped him learn more about an unidentified woman whose skeleton was found near Great Salt Lake.The woman was 5 feet tall. Police recovered 26 bones, a T-shirt and several strands of hair.When Park heard about the research, he gave the hair samples to the researchers. Chemical testing showed that over the two years before her death, she moved about every two months.She stayed in the Northwest, although the test could not be more specific than somewhere between eastern Oregon and western Wyoming.“It’s still a substantial area,” Park said “But it narrows it way down for me.”62. What is the scientists’ new discovery?A) One’s hair growth has to do with the amount of water they drink.B) A person’s hair may reveal where they have lived.C) Hair analysis accurately identifies criminal suspects.D) The chemical composition of hair varies from person to person.63. What does the author mean by “You’re what you eat and drink” (Line 1, Para.3)?A) Food and drink affect one’s personality development.B) Food and drink preferences vary with individuals.C) Food and drink leave traces in one’s body tissues.D) Food and drink are indispensable to one’s existence.64. What is said about the rainfall in America’s West?A) There is much more rainfall in California than in Utah.B) The water it delivers becomes lighter when it moves inland.C) Its chemical composition is less stable than in other areas.D) It gathers more light isotopes as it moves eastward.65. What did Cerling’s team produce in their research?A) A map showing the regional differences of tap water.B) A collection of hair samples from various barber shops.C) A method to measure the amount of water in human hair.D) A chart illustrating the movement of the rain system.66. What is the practical value of Cerling’s research?A) It helps analyze the quality of water in different regions.B) It helps the police determine where a crime is committed.C) It helps the police narrow down possibilities in detective work.D) It helps identify the drinking habits of the person under investigation.Part V Cloze (15 minutes)Kimiyuki Suda should be a perfect customer for Japan’s car-makers. He’s a young, successful executive at an Internet-services company in Tokyo and has plenty of disposable 67 . He used to own Toyota’s Hilux Surf, a sport utility vehicle.
