Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single linethrough the centre.Questions 51-55 are based on the following passage.I was dirty, smelly, hungry and somewhere beQuestions 51-55 are based on the following passage.I was dirty, smelly, hungry and somewhere beneath all that, suntanned. It was the end of an Inter-Rail holiday. My body couldn't take any more punishment. My mind couldn't deal with any more foreign timetables, currencies or languages.“Never again,” I s aid, as I stepped onto home ground. I said exactly the same thing the following year. And the next. All I had to do was buy one train ticket and, because I was under twenty-five years old, I could spend a whole month going anywhere I wanted in Europe. Ordi nary beds are never the same once you’ve learnt to sleep in the corridor of a train, the rhythm rocking you into a deep sleep.Carrying all your possessions on your back in a rucksack makes you have a very basic approach to travel, and encourages incredible wastefulness that can lead to burning socks that have become too anti-social, and getting rid of books when finished. On the other hand, this way of looking at life is entirely in the spirit of Inter-Rail, for common sense and reasoning can be thrown out of the window along with the paperback book and the socks. All it takes to achieve this carefree attitude is one of those tickets in your hand.Any system that enables young people to travel through countries at a rate of more than one a day must be pretty special. On that first trip, my friends and I were at first unaware of the possibilities of this type of train ticket, thinking it was just an inexpensive way of getting to and from our chosen camp-site in southern France. But the idea of non-stop travel proved too tempting, for there was always just one more country over the border, always that little bit further to go. And what did the extra miles cost us? Nothing.We were not completely uninterested in culture. But this was a first holiday without parents, as it was for most other Inter-Railers, and in organizing our own timetable we left out everything except the most immediately available sights. This was the chance to escape the guided tour, an opportunity to do something different. I took great pride in the fact that, in many places, all I could be bothered to see was the view from the station. We were just there to get by, and to have a good time doing so. In this we were no different from most of the other Inter-Railers with whom we shared corridor floors, food and water, money and music.The excitement of travel comes from the sudden reality of somewhere that was previously just a name. It is as if the city inwhich you arrive never actually existed until the train pulls in at the station and you are able to see it with your own tired eyes for the first time.Questions:51. At the end of his first trip, the writer said “Never again” because ________.A. he felt illB. he disliked trainsC. he was tired from the journeyD. he had lost money52. What does the writer mean by “this way of looking at life” in Paragraph 3?A. Worrying about your clothes.B. Throwing unwanted things away.C. Behaving in an anti-social way.D. Looking after your possessions.53. Why did the writer originally buy an Inter-Rail ticket?A. To get to one place cheaply.B. To meet other young people.C. To see a lot of famous places.D. To go on a tour of Europe.54. What the writer liked about traveling without his parents was that ________.A. he could see more interesting placesB. he could spend more time sightseeingC. he could stay away from home longerD. he could make his own decisions55. What does "it" in Line 3, Paragraph 6, refer to?A. A name.B. The city.C. The train.D. The station.Section B Yes / No / Not given (5 points)Directions: In this part, you will have 5 minutes to go over the passage quickly and answer the questions on the Answer Sheet.For questions 56 - 60, mark Y (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 given56. In August, four people visiting the centre together by car have to pay more than two people.57. The centre has special equipment for people who learn to sail.58. The adventure course is suitable for beginners.59. The centre is planning to add extra facilities to the Play Park.60. Summer adventure holidays are open to any child between eight and fourteen years who can swim.Section C Short Answer Questions (20 points)Directions: In this section, there are 2 passages followed by 10 questions or unfinished statements. Read the passages carefully, then answer the questions in a maximum of 10 words. Remember to write the answers on the Answer Sheet. Passage OneQuestions 61-65 are based on the following passage.Going to the beach is many Americans’ favorite activity. In th e area near New York City, nine million people used to go to the beach every summer. They went swimming in the ocean without giving a thought to what was underwater. But those days are long gone.In the summer of 1988, the government was forced to shut down beaches all over America. Many of the beaches had to be closed because garbage from hospitals was found in the water. The garbage included glass bottles with samples of blood, and people were afraid they might get AIDS from the blood. Where the medical g arbage came from is anybody’s guess. At some beaches, sewage(生活污水) was found in the water.Americans were shocked by this state of affairs. They had long taken for granted that oceans were big enough to stay clean, even if garbage and sewage were dumped in to them. People didn’t think of the underwater garbage because it was out of sight.Some of the most polluted waters still look beautiful at first glance. San Francisco Bay is a good example of a beautiful bay that’s full of chemicals. Scientists discovere d pollution in some lakes and rivers when they found fish with rotting skin. In many parts of America, people are told not to eat too much fish because of pollution.Most American cities put their garbage in the ground. But New York and a few other cities put their garbage in the ocean. Boston Harbor is so polluted that scientists say it won’t recover until the next century at best. The city of Boston puts its sewage in the water. The government has ordered the city to build a sewage treatment plant.Cleani ng up oceans won’t be easy, but people can no longer ignore this challenge.Questions:61. Most Americans used to go to the beach because of ________.62. Ocean waters around America have become polluted by ________.63. Some polluted waters are still beautiful because pollutants such as chemicals are hard to ________.64. If fish live in polluted waters people should not ________.65. The author of this passage seems to suggest that people should pay more attention to ________.Passage TwoQuestions 66-70 are based on the following passage.There are cockroaches (蟑螂) everywhere on Earth except the places that are covered with ice. Scientists have discovered about 3,500 different species of cockroach. There is just one human species! Cockroaches can be anything in size from about five mm to nine cm. Although five mm is very small, nine cm is as long as a large rat.It is very difficult to catch most cockroaches. They “see” with the hairs on their bodies. These hairs can feel the smallest movement in the air, so the cockroaches know immediately something moves, and run to safety.Of all the species of cockroach, fortunately only three live among humans and are a serious problem. They are the German,the Oriental, and the American. One egg case of the German cockroach can produce as many as seven million cockroaches in 12 months!Our main problem with cockroaches is that not only do they look ugly to us, but they also carry diseases. They are particularly dangerous in hospitals as they eat all kinds of hospital waste or get it on their bodies. They can then carry this waste, which may contain dangerous bacteria, on to food which is then eaten by people in the hospital.Most of the bacteria that cause food poisoning have been found in the stomachs of cockroaches, so it is important that cockroaches should be kept out of restaurants and other places where food is prepared.Many people work and try to destroy cockroaches, but as soon as they find one way of doing it, the cockroaches “learn” how to deal with it. Electricity does not always kill them and they can avoid most poi sons or “learn” how to deal with others. At one time, scientists thought that radiation would kill them, but they have been on Earth for about 300 million years, and it does not harm them as much as it does us.It seems probable that when there are no longer human beings living on the Earth, cockroaches will still be here. Questions:66. Cockroaches do not live in places where it is ________.67. Cockroaches know that someone or something is near because ________.68. Cockroaches can ________ because they carry bacteria.69. Paragraph 6 says that it is very difficult to ________.70. The passage is mainly about ________.Section D Summary (10 points)Directions: In this part, there is one passage followed by a summary. Read the passage carefully and complete the summary with the appropriate words from the passage. Remember to write the answers on the Answer Sheet.Questions 71-75 are based on the following passage.Cosmetics have been used throughout history. The ancient Greeks, the Egyptians, and the Romans all used various kinds of makeup. Some of these cosmetics were used to improve their appearance. Others were used to protect their skin. But in some cases, things used for makeup were dangerous, or even deadly!Some of the first skin care treatments started in Egypt. In fact, Cleopatra was known to use them. She thought a bath in milk and honey left her skin silky smooth. Egyptians also developed some of the earliest sunscreens. They used oils and creams for protection against the sun and dry winds. Egyptian and other ancient cultures also used various powders on their skin for beauty. Egyptians used black kohl around their eyes. Romans put white chalk on their faces. And Indians painted red henna on their bodies.Most of the ancient cosmetic powders, oils, and creams were harmless. But in the name of beauty, some people applied dangerous chemicals and poisons to their skin. During the Italian Renaissance, women wore white powder made of lead on their faces. Of course, doctors now know lead is like a poison for our bodies.Also around the time of the Renaissance, women in Italy put drops of belladonna in their eyes. Belladonna is a very poisonous plant. The poison in the plant affects the nerves in the body. By putting belladonna drops in her eyes, a woma n’s pupils would become very large. People thought this made her more beautiful. Actually, this is why the plant is called belladonna. In Italian, belladonna means “beautiful woman.”When Elizabeth I was queen of England in the late 1500s, some rather dangerous cosmetics were also used by women there. Women were using rouge made with mercury. They were also using special hair dye made with lead and sulphur. The dye was designed to give people red hair, the same color as the queen’s hair. Over time, the dye made people’s hair fall out. Finally, women using this dye ended up bald, like the queen, and had to wear wigs.Summary:Although people have used cosmetics throughout history, not all of them have been safe. In fact, some of them have been quite (71) ________ to people. For example, long ago in Italian (72) ________, people thought women with big pupils were beautiful. Therefore, in the (73) ________ of beauty, women began to put (74) ________ of belladonna in their eyes to make their pupils larger. Today we know belladonna is poisonous, and it can affect the (75) ________ in the body.Part VI Cloze (10 minutes, 15 points)Directions: There are 15 blanks in the passage. For each blank, some letters of the word have been given (not exceeding 3 letters). Read the passage below and think of the word which best fits each blank, Use only one word in each blank.Remember to write the answers on the Answer Sheet.I'm really in two minds about what to do when I leave school. Should I go straight to university or should I spend a year traveling (76) a the world?First of all, there are so many (77) ben of going straight to university.The most important point is that the (78) s I get my qualifications, the quicker I'll get a job and start earning.In my opinion, starting work and making (79)m one of the most important things in life.And I'm not (80) al in this opinion. Many consider a sound (81)ca and a good salary to be an important goal.Secondly, if I go straight to university, I'll learn so many things that will help me in my future life. It is often said that knowledge is the key to power, and I cannot (82) dis with this.(83)M , I'll be able to take part in the social activities that the university offers, and meet lots of new friends who share the same interests.However, it could also be (84)ar that I would meet lots of interesting people while I was traveling.(85) Fur , if I spent a year traveling, I would learn more about the world.On the one hand, I would experience lots of different (86) c .On the other hand, I could end up suffering from culture shock, homesickness and some (87) str tropical diseases.Nevertheless, these inconveniences would be an inevitable part of traveling and would be greatly (88) out by the advantages.(89) Unf , another point is that if I spent a year traveling I would need a lot of money.But I (90)b it would be easy to make a bit while I was traveling, giving English lessons or working in hotels and shops.Part VII Translation (15 minutes, 15 points)Section A English-Chinese Translation (10 points)Directions: Translate the underlined sentences of the following passage into Chinese. Remember to write the answers on the Answer Sheet.In such a changing, complex society, formerly simple solutions to informational needs become complicated. (91) Many of life’s problems which were solved by asking family members, friends or colleagues are beyond the capability of the extended family to resolve. Where to turn for expert information and how to determine which expert advice to accept are questions facing many people today.In addition to this, there is the growing mobility of people since World War II. (92) As families move away from their stable community, their friends of many years, and their extended family relationships, the informal flow of information is cut off, and with it the confidence that information will be available when needed and will be trustworthy and reliable. The almost unconscious flow of information about the simplest aspects of living can be cut off. Thus, things once learned subconsciously through the casual communications of the extended family must be consciously learned.Adding to social changes today is an enormous stockpile of information. (93) The individual now has more information available than any generation, and the task of finding that one piece of information relevant to his or her specific problem is complicated, time-consuming and sometimes even overwhelming.Coupled with the growing quantity of information is the development of technologies which enable the storage and delivery of more information with greater speed to more locations than has ever been possible before. Computer technology makes it possible to store vast amounts of data in machine readable files, and to program computers to locate specific information. (94) Telecommunications developments enable the sending of messages via television, radio, and, very shortly, electronic mail, to bombard people with multitudes of messages. Satellites have extended the power of communications to report events at the instant of occurrence. Expertise can be shared worldwide through teleconferencing, and problems in dispute can be settled without the participants leaving their homes and / or jobs to travel to a distant conference site. Technology has facilitated the sharing of information and the storage and delivery of information, thus making more information available to more people.In this world of change and complexity, the need for information is of greatest importance. (95) Those people who have accurate, reliable up-to-date information to solve the day-to-day problems, the critical problems of their business, social and。

This term expresses the feeling of not knowing what to do or how to do things in a new environment. This term expresses the feeling of not knowing what to do or how to do things in a new environment. We can describe culture shock as the physical and emotional discomfort a person suffers when coming tolive in a place different from the place of origin.Often, the way that we live before is not accepted or considered as normal in the new place. Everything is different, for example, not speaking the language, not knowing how to use banking machines, not knowing how to use telephones, and so forth.The symptoms of culture shock can appear at different times. Although a person can experience real pain from culture shock, it is also an opportunity for growing and learning new perspectives.Culture shock can help people develop a better understanding of themselves and stimulate personal creativity.Culture shock has many stages. Each stage can be ongoing, or appear only at certain times. In the first stage, the new arrival may feel very happy about all of the new experience. This time is called the honeymoon stage. Afterward, the second stage presents itself. A person may encounter some difficulties in daily life. For example, communication difficulties may occur, such as not being understood.In this stage, there may be feelings of impatience, anger and sadness. Transition between the old methods and those of the new country is a difficult process and takes time to complete. The third stage is characterized by gaining some understanding ofthe new culture. A new feeling of pleasure and sense of humor may be experienced. A person may start to feel a psychological balance. The individual is more familiar with the environment and wants to belong. This starts an evaluation of the old ways versus those of the new. In the fourth stage, the person realizes that the new culture has good and badthings to offer. This stage can be one of double integration ortriple integration, depending on the number of cultures that the person has to process. This integration is characterized by a more solid feeling of belonging. The person starts to define himself or herself and establish goals for living. The fifth stage is the stage that is called the reentry shock. This occurs when a person returns to the newly acquired customs are considered improper in the old culture.Questions 56—60Complete the summary with words from the passage, changing the form where necessary, with only one word for each blank.Introduced in 1958, culture shock is a term used to (56) __________ physical and emotional discomfort people experience when they come to or live in a new place.

During thethird and fourth stage, people may gain more understandingof the new culture and possess objective views. The double or triple integrationis (60) __________ by a feeling of belonging. The last stage, called reentry shock, refers to the feeling people have when returning totheir home country.Section B (10 marks)Questions 61-65 are based on the following passage.For some people, it would be unthinkable. But Gabe Henderson is finding freedom in a recent decision; he canceled his MySpace account. The 26 years old graduate student stopped his account after realizing that a lot of his online friends were really just acquaintances. “The superficial emptiness clouded the excitement I had once felt,”H enderson wrote in an article. “It seems we have lost, to some degree, the special depth that true friendship is about.”Journalism professor Michael Bugeja, who is a strong supporter of face-to-face communication, read Henderson’s column and saw it was a s ign of hope. Though he’s not anti-technology, Bugeja often lectures students about “interpersonal intelligence” —knowing when, where, and for what purpose technology is most appropriate. He points out the students he’s seen walking across campus, holding hands with each other while talking on cell phones to someone else He’s also。

大学英语竞赛b类真题答案解析

大学英语竞赛b类真题答案解析B类真题答案解析随着的不断普及,越来越多的学生参加这一考试,希望能够提高自己的英语水平并获得更好的成绩。
而对于B类竞赛来说,理解题意、提炼关键信息并作出正确的解答是取得好成绩的关键。
下面,我们就来分析一道典型的B类题目,并进行答案解析。
题目背景:鉴于英语课程的重要性,教育部决定在中增加面向非英语专业学生的B类题目,来考察学生的综合英语能力。
一般来说,B类题目会更注重对课文细节的理解和推测。
题目:从以下A、B、C、D四个选项中选择一个符合短文内容的最佳答案。
"I used to blindly follow the advice of the so-called health gurus on the internet. Every day I would try a newdiet or exercise routine, hoping to find the secret to a healthy life. But no matter what I did, I was always left feeling disappointed and frustrated. It wasn't until I came across an article by a renowned nutritionist that I realized where I had been going wrong.In her article, the nutritionist emphasized the importance of individuality when it comes to health and wellness. She explained that what works for one person maynot work for another, and that it's crucial to listen to our own bodies and make choices that feel right for us. This wasa revelation for me, as it made me realize that I had been neglecting my own needs in favor of following trends and fads.Since then, I have adopted a more personalized approachto my health. I have stopped obsessing over the latest diets and exercises, and instead focus on what makes me feel good.I have learned to listen to my body and give it what it truly needs, whether it's nourishing food, rest, or movement. This shift in mindset has not only improved my physical health,but also my mental wellbeing.Through this process, I have come to understand that health is not a one-size-fits-all concept. We are all unique individuals with different needs and preferences. What works for one person may not work for another, and that's okay. The key is to find what works for us and make choices that align with our own values and goals.So, the next time you come across a new health trend or advice, don't simply follow it blindly. Take a step back and consider whether it aligns with your own needs and goals.Trust your instincts and listen to what your body is telling you. Remember, you are the expert on your own health."解析:这道题目考察的是对短文细节的理解和推测能力。

points)Section A Multiple Choice(10 points)Directions:There is one reading passage in this part.The passage is followed by 5 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 centre.Questions 71 to 75 are based on the following passage:Taking a peep at what's going on in your headCARL Filer,18,a star salesman at a B&Q hardware store in the UK,was called up for promotion within one week of starting work.But,instead of being made supervisor,he was sacked—after his employers saw the results of his psychometric test.You might think that anyone who answers that he“strongly disagrees he is an over-achiever is asking for trouble,but Mr Filer already thought he had proved himself more than capable.This year,nearly half of UK firms—46 percent—will use psychometric tests to select trainees,compared with just 17 percent in 2000,according to a report for GTI,a publisher of graduate career guides.These tests,which rate candidates’ability and gauge their personality,have been used in the UK since the 1980s.But assorted studies have shown most people—graduates in particular—are wholly cynicalabout the idea of their personality being“measured.“People tend to see them as either too silly or too clever,says Clive Fletcher,professor of occupational psychology at University of London.“But all the evidence indicates the tests do have some value.The first personality test as we know it,was developed by the American army in 1917 to filter out weak recruits.But it was not until the 1980s that the tests became popular in Britain.With a rising number of graduates going for a decreasing number of jobs,organizations began to see psychometric testing as a cheap,reliable alternative to the expensive,time-consuming interview.But today the tests are becoming alarmingly sophisticated and are edging towards probing the“dark side:pathology and personality disorders.Increasingly,tests are being used to try to detect promising young graduates who may,later in life,fly off the rails(go crazy);or to stop psychopaths(having mental disorder)getting recruited.In the future,interviewees could even be given a mouth swab to reveal the genetic and biological markers of personality.“We are heading for the era of genetic screening,”warns Carolyn Jones,of the Institute for Employment Rights.“I think these tests are very flawed.And there are other problems with the tests.For starters,it is possible to fake it—even the test producers agree on this.But they have made it as hard as possible.For example,look at whether you agree or disagree with the following two statements:“New ideas come easily to me and“I find generating new concepts difficult.How long did it take you to realize they both could mean the same thing?The main argument,however,is that the tests are invalid and cannot quantify(put a numerical value on)something as changeable as personality.The golden rule is then,that a psychometric test should never be used as the sole basis of selection,but should always be followed by interviews.71.Most people's attitude towards the psychometric test is ______.A.contemptuous B.favorable C.tolerant D.confounded72.Which of the following is one of the reasons why psychometric testing wins an advantage over interviews?A.It doesn't cost any money.B.It requires no equipment.C.It is time-saving.D.It can be done within seconds.73.Which of the following statements is the author's idea?A.Psychometric tests are defective.B.Psychometric tests should not be the only way to recruit promising young graduates.C.Psychometric tests are invalid and cannot quantify something changeable as personality.D.Psychometric tests are golden rules.74.The test producers make the tests very complicated to ______.A.avoid cheating B.improve genetic screeningC.find out the best ideas D.generate new concepts75.Which of the following is not true according to the passage?A.The American army developed the first personality test to screen out weak recruits.B.In the future,interviewers could give a mouth swab to reveal interviewees’symptoms.C.There are possibilities for starters to cheat in the psychometric tests.D.Interviews still play an important role in evaluating interviewees.Section B Short Answer Questions(30 points)Directions:In this part there are 3 passages with 15 questions or incomplete statements.Read the passages carefully.Then answer the questions in the fewest possible words(not exceeding 10 words).Remember to rewrite the answers on the Answer Sheet.Questions 76 to 80 are based on the following passage:The 8 Steps of Social Invention1.Get ready to play.Like other types of creativity,social inventiveness flourishes when you begin thinking outside conventional boundaries.Charlie Girsch,a St.Paul,Minnesota-based creativity consultant,suggests that you start by playing with obviously absurd explanations for everyday events.“If traffic is slow,you'll be tem pted to say,‘Hmm.Must be an accident up ahead.’Instead,try saying,‘Must be a family of turtles crossing the highway’or‘I expect there's some kind of alien abduction going on.’You'll be amazed how soon you will be looking at familiar problems in new ways.”Girsch's book,Fanning the Creative Spirit(Creativity Central,1999)has scores of other exercises for limbering up the inventive part of your brain.2.Generate a zillion far-fetched ideas.Concerned about the homeless in your neighborhood?Imagine a Homeless Parliament,a Homeless Circus,homeless families forming an orchestra,a homeless museum ...and on and on.Generate like mad with no regard for feasibility in order,as social invention pioneer Nicholas Albery advises,to “overcome e worthy-but-dull ideas.”Eventually the two or three best ideas will begin to stand out.3.Take your wildest idea and bring it down to earth.How about that Homeless Circus?Could it turn into a forum for homeless people to display their creative talents?A performance series about homelessness?A neighborhood carnival with the homeless as guests of honor?Your flakiest idea may have a germ of brilliance that actually makes it more attractive,and thus more feasible(and fundable),than its worthy-but-dull cousins.4.Look for in venations that solve more than one problem.The Slow Food Movement,born in Italy,boosts local farmers and regional cuisine traditions and restaurateurs and the same time that it“feeds”our hunger for authentic tastes,healthy eating,and a more leisurely,saner style of life.5.Accentuate the positive.“A very common question that I get when I work with people in communities is‘Why doesn't anybody care about our problems?’”notes M chael Patterson,a social inventor and activist in Massachusetts.“What a worthless question.‘Why’?questions are for philosophers.Ask‘How’?and‘What’?questions—they are a lot more practical.”For instance,Patterson asks,“What would you do if you knew you couldn't fail?”6.Give it a rest.Walk away from your favorite idea for a while,forget about it,let it sleep.With your conscious mind out of the way,your subconscious gets to fiddle with the concept for a while,and you just might have an unexpected insight or breakthrough.7.Practice“yes and”in stead of“yes but”.No matter how tempted you are to say“Yes,but this will be hard because,”or“Yes,but a million other people are doing this,”shift the conjunction to“and”and see what sort of positive refinement or change emerges.“Yes,and we could concentrate on immigrants.”“Yes,and we can make it open to all ages.”8.Get your idea into the world.This is the tough part.You might seek out the help of activists who will take a shine to your ideas.Orbecome an organizer yourself.Paul Glove,a New York social inventor,coun-sels:“If you have an idea you believe in,write a pamphlet with your phone number on it and post it in Laundromats and bookstores.If three people call you,have lunch with them and call yourselves an organization.If five people call,meet with them and issue a press release.”Presto,you're launched.76.To generate far-fetched ideas helps to ______.77.Michael Patterson wants us to come up with“How”?and“What”?instead of“Why”?questions because he considers they are more practical than ______.78.The purpose to practice“yes and”instead of“yes but”is to make yourself more ______.79.According to the article,when one has difficulty developing his favorite idea,he should ______.80.One should not only generate far-fetched ideas but also ______ because the latter step is the nearest to reality.Questions 81 to 85 are based on the following passage:Thin Slice of TV Has Big MarketIt is too early to write an obituary for bulky picture tubes,which will remain the most affordable TV sets for years to come.But,analysts and industry executives insist that thin screens already have started to become the dominant format for TV sets in the digital era.Sharp price cuts have brought plasma sets and other thin,flat televisions out of high-end electronic boutiques and into thousands of mass-market outlets such as Cosco,a wholesale buying club in the US,best known for offering members bulk items and big discounts.The least expensive plasma sets still cost a hefty US $3,000or more ,yet sales are growing so rapidly that many manufacturers are racing to boost production.That increase,combined with expanding production capacity and improved technology,could push the price of plasma sets down by one-third next year,according to analyst Richard Doherty of Envisioneering Group,a US research firm.But manufacturers are not just competing with each other;they are also trying to fend off challenges from competing thin-screen technologies,such as liquid crystal displays(LCD).The demand for thin screens is fuelled in part by the advent of DVDs and digital TV broadcasts,which offer more detailed pictures and more lifelike colors than conventional analog TV signals.To see the difference,consumers need a set that can pack more information onto the screen than their current TVs can.This sharpness is most vivid on screens that are 40inches diagonal or larger.At that size,however,traditional direct view and projection TVs are so bulky that many consumers have trouble finding a place for them at home.Hence the interest in thin screens—models slender and light enough to hang on a wall.The glass panels at the heart of plasma and LCD sets come mainly from about a dozen companies with factories in Japan,South Korea and,increasingly,China.About 800,000 plasma panels will be shipped this year around the world,analysts say.That is a tiny amount compared with the overall market for TVs,which was about 140 million sets last year.But,industry experts said 2003would be a“breakout year”or plasma because shipments should double.Helping drive the growth are new or expanded manufacturing facilities.For example,Japanese electronics giant NEC last year doubled the capacity of its Japanese factory—reaching 300,000to 400,000 plasma panels.And it plans to double it again in 2003,officials said.As competition has heated up during the last four years,prices have fallen more than 50 percent.According to“NPD Tec world”,the average price of a plasma display sold in the US dropped from US $12,700in January 1999 to US $6,100in October 2002.The best markets for plasma screens have been in Asia,and about half of the sets have gone to businesses instead of homes.LCD TVs carry a premium price—they can be 10 times as expensive as a comparable tube-driven television—that knocks them out of most buyers’budgets.But LCD panels are quickly taking over the market for computer monitors,and the tens of millions of panels being produced for that segment will help push down prices for LCD TVs,analysts predicted.Sharp Electronics,for one,is betting heavily on LCDs.Its chairman,Toshiaki Urushisako,has predicted that Sharp will switch completely from conventional tube sets to LCD TVs in Japan by 2005.Flat-panel refers to wafer-thin(3 inches or less)TVs,whereas flat-screen may actually describe traditional cathode-ray-tube sets(CRTs)whose glass front lacks the distorting curve that TVs have had for 50 years.Be aware of two things:One,flat-panel technology may not be high-definition TV;for eventual HDTV reception,some of these sets will require a separate HD tuner.Two,some flat-panel TVs are just the panel and lack speakers and sometimes a built-in tuner.Price range:US $700-2,000LCD vs plasmaIn general,LCD technology is used for smaller screens because of the enormous number of transistors needed to turn the glasslike liquid crystals into color images.The larger the display,the more transistors,the more chance of failed connections.A plasma screen is found in TV sets larger than 20 inches.Color is comparable to an LCD's.LCDs do not deteriorate over time,while a plasma display averages 30,000 hours(a traditional TV screen can go for 20,000),after which it fades over a period of years.Earlier problems with the quality of plasma's contrast have been addressed,and current screens are cleaner and better defined.Price range:US $600-2,800HDTVSimply put,high-definition TV is 10 times as sharp as traditional TV,and the sound is digital,like CD sound,not FM ,which is what traditional TV provides.HD technology achieves its visual clarity with more immage lines on the screen.Where analog TVs have 480 horizontal lines,HDTV has 720 or 1,080lines.Be aware :m any HDTV sets being sold now are in fact only HDTV monitors ,offering a crisp picture .To receive genuine high-definition television signals,owners must buy a separate HDTV receiver.Price range:US $1,000-6,000LOS ANGELEST IMES81.According to the article,TV sets with _____will still be the most popular in the coming years.82.The factors that stimulate the thin screens to be more and more popular include _____,_____,and_____.83.The rapidly expanding market for LCD panels and their large-scale production will help lower _____.84.When a wealthy customer wants to buy a very large TV,he should select _____and _____according to the passage.85.We can infer from the passage that among all kinds of TV sets _____is of the best quality.。

For each question, there are f our choices marked A, B, C and D.Y ou should decide on the best choice.Then mark the corresp onding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.Questions 1620are based on the following passage.I was dirty, smelly, hungry and somewhere beneath all that, suntanned. It was the end of an Inter Rail holiday. My body couldn't take any more punishment. My mind couldn't deal with any more forei gn timetables, currencies or languages.“Never again,” I said, as I stepped onto home ground. I said exactly the same thing the following year.And the next.All I had to do was buy one train ticket and, because I was under twentyfive years old, I could spend a whole month going anywhere I wanted in Europe. Ordinary beds are never the sa me once you’ve learnt to sleep in the corridor of a train, the rhythm rocking you into a deep sleep.Carrying all your possessions on your back in a rucksack makes you have a very basic approach to travel, and encourages incredible wastefulness that can lead to burning socks that have become too a ntisocial, and getting rid of books when finished. On the other hand, this way of looking at life is enti rely in the spirit of InterRail, for common sense and reasoning can be thrown out of the window alon g with the paperback book and the socks.All it takes to achieve this carefree attitude is one of those ti ckets in your hand.Any system that enables young people to travel through countries at a rate of more than one a day must be pretty special. On that first trip, my friends and I were at first unaware of the possibilities of t his type of train ticket,thinking it was just an inexpensive way of getting to and from our chosen camp site in southern France. But the idea of nonstop travel proved too tempting, for there was always just one more country over the border, always that little bit further to go.And what did the extra miles cos t us?Nothing.We were not completely uninterested in culture. But this was a first holiday without parents, as it was for most other InterRailers, and in organizing our own timetable we left out everything except th e most immediately available sights.This was the chance to escape the guided tour, an opportunity to do something different. I took great pride in the fact that,in many places, all I could be bothered to see was the view from the station.We were just there to get by, and to have a good time doing so. In this we were no different from most of the other InterRailers with whom we shared corridor floors, food a nd water, money and music.The excitement of travel comes from the sudden reality of somewhere that was previously just a n ame. It is as if the city in which you arrive never actually existed until the train pulls in at the station a nd you are able to see it with your own tired eyes for the first time.Questions:16.At the end of his first trip, the writer said “Never again” because ________.A. he felt illB. he disliked trainsC. he was tired from the journeyD. he had lost money17.What does the writer mean by “this way of looking at life” in Paragraph3?A. Worrying about your clothes.B.Throwing unwanted things away.C. Behaving in an antisocial way.D. Looking after your possessions.18.Why did the writer originally buy an InterRail ticket?A.To get to one place cheaply.B.To meet other young people.C.To see a lot of famous places.D.To go on a tour of Europe.19.What the writer liked about traveling without his parents was that ________.A. he could see more interesting placesB. he could spend more time sightseeingC. he could stay away from home longerD. he could make his own decisions20What does "it" in Line 3, Paragraph6, refer to?A.A name.B.The city.C.The train.D.The station.Section B Y es / No / Not given(10 points)Directions: In this part, you will have 5 minutes to go over the passage quickly and answer the q uestions on the Answer Sheet. For questions 21 25, mark Y(for Y es) if the statement agrees wit h the information given in the passage; N (for No) if the statement contradicts the information gi ven in the passage; NG(for Not Given) if the information is not given in the passage. Questions 2125 are based on the following passage.The Outdoor CentreOpening timesWater sports: 10 am 6 pmPlay Park: 10 am 5.30 pmEntrance / Car park feesLow season: Weekdays £2.00 per car Weekends £3.00 per carHigh season: 23 July 11 September Weekdays and weekends £3.00 per carFees are for cars with four people.

We also make certain that all children only take part in ac tivities that are suitable for their age and physical abilities. For this programme children must be able t o swim25 metres and be in good physical health.It is very difficult to catch most cockroaches.They “see” with the hairs on their bodies.These hairs ca n feel the smallest movement in the air, so the cockroaches know immediately something moves, and r un to safety.Of all the species of cockroach, fortunately only three live among humans and are a serious problem. They are the German, the Oriental, and the American. One egg case of the German cockroach can pro duce as many as seven million cockroaches in 12 months!Our main problem with cockroaches is that not only do they look ugly to us, but they also carry diseas es.They are particularly dangerous in hospitals as they eat all kinds of hospital waste or get it on their bodies.They can then carry this waste, which may contain dangerous bacteria, on to food which is the n eaten by people in the hospital.Most of the bacteria that cause food poisoning have been found in the stomachs of cockroaches, so it i s important that cockroaches should be kept out of restaurants and other places where food is prepared. Many people work and try to destroy cockroaches, but as soon as they find one way of doing it,the cockroaches “learn” how to deal with it. Electricity does not always kill them and they can avoid most p oisons or “learn” how to deal with others.At one time, scientists thought that radiation would kill the m, but they have been on Earth for about 300 million years, and it does not harm them as much as it d oes us.It seems probable that when there are no longer human beings living on the Earth, cockroaches will sti ll be here.Questions:21. Cockroaches do not live in places where it is ________.22. Cockroaches know that someone or something is near because ________.23. Cockroaches can________ because they carry bacteria.24 Paragraph6 says that it is very difficult to ________.25.The passage is mainly about ________.Section C Summary (10 points)Directions: In this part, there is one passage followed by a summary. Read the passage carefully and complete the summary with the appropriate words from the passage. Remember to write th e answers on the Answer Sheet.Questions 2630 are based on the following passage.Cosmetics have been used throughout history.The ancient Greeks, the Egyptians, and the Romans all used various kinds of makeup. Some of these cosmetics were used to improve their appearance. Other s were used to protect their skin. But in some cases, things used for makeup were dangerous,or even d eadly!Some of the first skin care treatments started in Egypt. In fact, Cleopatra was known to use them. She thought a bath in milk and honey left her skin silky smooth. Egyptians also developed some of the earl iest sunscreens.They used oils and creams for protection against the sun and dry winds. Egyptian and other ancient cultures also used various powders on their skin for beauty. Egyptians used black kohl ar ound their eyes. Romans put white chalk on their faces.And Indians painted red henna on their bodies. Most of the ancient cosmetic powders, oils, and creams were harmless. But in the name of beauty, so me people applied dangerous chemicals and poisons to their skin. During the Italian Renaissance, wo men wore white powder made of lead on their faces. Of course, doctors now know lead is like a poiso n for our bodies.Also around the time of the Renaissance, women in Italy put drops of belladonna in their eyes. Bellad onna is a very poisonous plant.The poison in the plant affects the nerves in the body. By putting bella donna drops in her eyes, a woman’s pupils would become very large. People thought this made her mo re beautiful.Actually, this is why the plant is called belladonna. In Italian, belladonna means “beautifu l woman.”When Elizabeth I was queen of England in the late 1500s, some rather dangerous cosmetics were also used by women there. Women were using rouge made with mercury.They were also using special hair dye made with lead and sulphur.The dye was designed to give people red hair, the same color as the queen’s hair. Over time, the dye made people’s hair fall out.Finally, women using this dye ended up b ald, like the queen, and had to wear wigs.Summary:Although people have used cosmetics throughout history, not all of them have been safe. In fact, some of them have been quite (26) ________ to people. For example, long ago in Italian(27) ________, pe ople thought women with big pupils were beautiful.Therefore, in the (28) ________ of beauty, wome n began to put (29) ________of belladonna in their eyes to make their pupils larger.Today we know b elladonna is poisonous, and it can affect the (30) ________ in the body.Part VI Cloze ( 15 points)Directions:There are 15 blanks in the passage. For each blank, some letters of the word have be en given (not exceeding 3 letters). Read the passage below and think of the word which best fits e ach blank, Use only one word in each blank. Remember to write the answers on the Answer She et.I'm really in two minds about what to do when I leave school. Should I go straight to university or should I spend a year traveling (31) a the world?First of all, there are so many(32) ben of going straight to university.The most important point is t hat the (33) s I get my qualifications, the quicker I'll get a job and start earning.In my opinion, star ting work and making (34)m one of the most important things in life.And I'm not (35)al in th is opinion. Many consider a sound (36)ca and a good salary to be an important goal.Secondly, if I go straight to university, I'll learn so many things that will help me in my future life. It is often said tha t knowledge is the key to power, and I cannot (37)dis with this.(38)M , I'll be able to take par t in the social activities that the university offers, and meet lots of new friends who share the same interests.However, it could also be (39)ar that I would meet lots of interesting people while I was tra veling. (40) Fur , if I spent a year traveling, I would learn more about the world. On the one hand, I would experience lots of different (41) c .On the other hand, I could end up suf fering from culture shock, homesickness and some (42) str tropical diseases.Nevertheless, these inconveniences would be an inevitable part of traveling and would be greatly(43) out by the adv antages.(44) Unf , another point is that if I spent a year traveling I would need a lot of money.But I(45)b it would be easy to make a bit while I was traveling, giving English lessons or workin g in hotels and shops.Part V Translation (20 points)Section A EnglishChinese Translation (10 points)Directions: Translate the underlined sentences of the following passage into Chinese. Remember to write the answers on the Answer Sheet.In such a changing, complex society, formerly simple solutions to informational needs become c omplicated. (46) Many of life’s problems which were solved by asking family members, friends or col leagues are beyond the capability of the extended family to resolve.Where to turn for expert informati on and how to determine which expert advice to accept are questions facing many people today.In addition to this, there is the growing mobility of people since World War II.(47) As families move away from their stable community, their friends of many years, and their extended family relatio nships, the informal flow of information is cut off, and with it the confidence that information will be available when needed and will be trustworthy and reliable.The almost unconscious flow of informati on about the simplest aspects of living can be cut off.Thus, things once learned subconsciously throug h the casual communications of the extended family must be consciously learned.Adding to social changes today is an enormous stockpile of information. (48) The individual no w has more information available than any generation, and the task of finding that one piece of inform ation relevant to his or her specific problem is complicated,timeconsuming and sometimes even over whelming.Coupled with the growing quantity of information is the development of technologies which ena ble the storage and delivery of more information with greater speed to more locations than has ever be en possible before. Computer technology makes it possible to store vast amounts of data in machine readable files, and to program computers to locate specific information. (49)Telecommunications devel opments enable the sending of messages via television, radio, and, very shortly, electronic mail, to bo mbard people with multitudes of messages. Satellites have extended the power of communications to r eport events at the instant of occurrence. Expertise can be shared worldwide through teleconferencing, and problems in dispute can be settled without the participants leaving their homes and / or jobs to tra vel to a distant conference site.Technology has facilitated the sharing of information and the storage a nd delivery of information, thus making more information available to more people.In this world of change and complexity, the need for information is of greatest importance. (50) Those people who have accurate, reliable uptodate information to solve the daytoday problems, the critical problems of their business, social and family life, will survive and succeed. “Knowledge is po wer” may well be the truest saying and access to information may be the most critical requirement of a ll people.Section B ChineseEnglish Translation (10 points)Directions: Translate the following sentences into English.
