Football lovers sometimes took days to warm up after sitting through a freezing cold Sunday game. For both sports fans and players, the domed stadium was like something out of a dream. A huge plastic bubble kept out rain and snow. There was heat to keep things comfortable year round.Domed stadiums have clearly changed the course of sports. Still, they did have their problems at first. Most of these problems were discovered and solved at the Houston Astrodome. This was the world's first stadium with a lid. For the fans, it was great. But there were some problems for the playe rs. Baseball outfielders had the most difficult time. They had to learn to catch in a field with a roof.

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 1How often one hears children wishing they were grown up, and old people wishing they were young again. Each age has its pleasures and its pains, and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age gives him without wasting his time in useless regrets.Childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities to make life difficult. If a child has good parents, he is fed, looked after and loved, whatever he may do. It is impossible that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return. In addition, life is always presenting new things to the child —things that have lost their interest for older people because they are too well-known. But a child has his pains: he is not so free to do what he wishes to do; he is continually being told not to do things, or being punished for what he has done wrong.When the young man starts to earn his own living, he can no longer expect others to pay for his food, his clothes, and his room, but has to work if he wants to live comfortably. If he spends most of his time playing about in the way that he used to as a child, he will go hungry. And if he breaks the laws of society as he used to break the laws of his parents, he may go to prison. If, however, he works hard, keeps out of trouble and has good health, he can have the great happiness of building up for himself his own position in society.21. According to Paragraph 2, the writer thinks that _______.A. life for a child is comparatively easyB. a child is always loved whatever he doesC. if much is given to a child, he must do something in returnD. only children are interested in life22. After a child grows up, he_____.A. will have little time playingB. has to be successful in finding a jobC. can still ask for help in time of troubleD. should be able to take care of himself23. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A. People are often satisfied with their life.B. Life is less interesting for old people.C. Adults are freer to do what they want to do.D. Adults should no longer rely on others.24. The main idea of the passage is that ______.A. life is not enjoyable since each age has some painsB. young men can have the greatest happiness if they work hardC. childhood is the most enjoyable time in one’s lifeD. one is the happiest if he can make good use of each age in his life25. The paragraph following the passage will most probably discuss ______.A. examples of successful young menB. how to build up one’s position in societyC. joys and pains of old peopleD. what to do when one has problems in lifePassage 2Every country tends to accept its own way of life as being the normal one and to praise or criticize others as they are similar to or different from it. And unfortunately, our picture of the people and the way of life of other countries is often a distorted (曲解) one.Here is a great argument in favor of foreign travel and learning foreign languages. It is only by traveling in, or living in a county and getting to know its inhabitants and their language that one can find out what a country and its people are really like. And how different the knowledge one gains this way frequently turns out to be true from the second-hand information gathered from other sources! How often we find that the foreigners whom we thought to be such different people from ourselves are not very different after all!Differences between peoples do of course, exist and, one hopes, will always continue to do so. The world will be a dull place indeed when all the different nationalities behave exactly alike, and some people might say that we are rapidly approaching this state of affairs. With the much greater rapidity and ease of travel, there might seem to be some truth in this at least as far as Europe is concerned. However this may be, at least the greater ease of travel today has revealed to more people than ever before that the Englishman or Frenchman or German is not some different kind of animal from themselves.26. Every country criticizes ways of life in other countries because they are _______.A. distortedB. normalC. similar to each otherD. different from its own27. One who travels in a foreign country and learns its language will ______.A. find out what its people are likeB. argue in favor of this country and the languageC. know the country and its people betterD. like its inhabitants and their language28. The knowledge one gains by traveling in a foreign county is often _______.A. from second-hand informationB. gathered from other sources than from its inhabitantsC. gained from the arguments about the countryD. different from what one had before the travel29. Differences between peoples ________.A. will gradually disappear because of ease of travelB. do exist even though different nationalities behave exactly alikeC. will always continue to exist and the world will be a dull placeD. will not exist as one hopes30. The underlined word “However” most probably means _________.A. somewhatB. by whatever meansC. anyhowD. no matter whatPassage 3We arranged that Kissinger would fly to Vietnam for talks early in July and then stop in Pakistan on the way back. There he would develop a stomachache that would require him to stay in bed and not be seen by the press. Then, with President Yahya’s cooperation he would be taken to an airport where a Pakistan plane would fly him over the mountains to China.Kissinger’s trip was given the code(密码) name Polo after Marco Polo, another Western traveler who made history by journeying to China. Everything went without a hitch. His slight illness in Islamabad received only minor attention from reporters covering him. They accepted the story that he would be confined to bed for at least a couple of days and began making arrangements for their own entertainment.Because of the need for complete secrecy and the lack of any direct communication facilities between Beijing and Washington, I knew that we would have no word from Kissinger while he was in China. Even after he had returned to Pakistan it would still be important to maintain secrecy. So before Kissinger left, we agreed on a single code word —Eureka -which he would use if his mission were successful.On July 11, Al Haig, who knew our code word, phoned me to saythat a cable from Kissinger had arrived.“What’s the message?” I asked.“Eureka,” he replied.31. Kissinger stopped in Pakistan because ______.A. he happened to have a stomachacheB. he needed a rest after a long journeyC. he had a secret mission to perform thereD. he did not want to be seen by the press32. The reporters in Islamabad believed that ______.A. Kissinger was not feeling wellB. Kissinger had just come back from VietnamC. Kissinger had put off leaving for ChinaD. Kissinger was preparing to entertain them33. The statement “everything went without a hitch” (Para.2) most probably means that ______.A. nothing was easy with the missionB. the plans were carried out with great difficultyC. things went smoothlyD. there was no possibility of success34. There was no news from Kissinger while he was in Beijing, chiefly because _______.A. his trip had to be kept secretB. President Yahya did not go with KissingerC. communication between Beijing and Islamabad was difficultD. the negotiation(谈判) was not successful35. The passage implies that Kissinger’s message “Eureka”was sent _______.A. when the negotiation started in BeijingB. as soon as he arrived in WashingtonC. when he flew to Vietnam on July 11D. when the negotiation was completed in BeijingPassage 4No country in the world has more daily newspapers than the U.S.A. There are almost 2,000 of them, as compared with 180 in Japan, 144 in Argentina and 111 in Britain. The quality of some American papers is extremely high and their views are quoted all over the world. Distinguished dailies like the Washington Post or the New York Times have a powerful influence all over the country. However the Post and the Times are not national newspapers in the sense that The times is in Britain or Le Monde is in France, since each American city has its own daily newspaper. The best of these present detailed accounts of national and international news, but many tend to limit themselves to state or city news.Like the press in most other countries, American newspapers range from the “sensational”, which feature crime, sex and rumor, to the serious,which focus on factual news and the analysis of world events. But with few exceptions American newspapers try to entertain as well as give information, for they have to compete with television.Just as American newspapers give way to all tastes, so do they also try and apply to readers for all political persuasions. A few newspapers support extremist (过激分子) groups on the far right and on the far left, but most daily newspapers attempt to attract middle-of-the-road Americans who are essentially moderate. Many of these papers print columns by well-known journalists of different political and social views in order to present a balanced picture.As in other democratic countries American newspapers can be either responsible or irresponsible, but it is generally accepted that the American press serves its country well and that it has more than once bravely uncovered political scandals (丑闻) or crimes, for instance, the Watergate Affair. The newspapers drew the attention of the public to the fears of the Vietnam War.36. There are fewer national newspapers in ______.A. Britain than in the U.S.A.B. France than in BritainC. the U.S.A. than in Britain or FranceD. France than in the U.S.A. or Britain37. Most American newspapers try to entertain their readers because______.A. they have to keep up a good relation with themB. they have to compete with televisionC. they have to write about crime, sex and rumorD. they have to give factual news in an interesting way38. Many American newspapers attract readers of different political tendency by ______.A. supporting extremist groups from time to timeB. inviting middle-of-the-road Americans to write articles for themC. avoiding carrying articles about extremistsD. printing articles representing different political viewpoints39. In this passage the underlined word “press” (Para.2) means ______.A. a machine for printingB. the business of printingC. great forceD. newspapers40. The passage is mainly about ______.A. the characteristics of American newspapersB. the development of American newspapersC. the functions of American newspapersD. the merits and shortcomings of American newspapersPart III Cloze (10 points)Directions: There are 10 blanks in the following passage. For each blanksthere are four choices marked A, B, C and D, you should choose one that best fits into the passage. Then mark the answer by blanking the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a pencil.If you feel you have a closer relationship with your grandmother on your mother’s side than on you father’s side, it is no surprise to researchers at the universities of Newcastle and Antwerp. 41 on studies in the Netherlands, they claim that maternal grandparents(外祖父母)are likely to make greater efforts to maintain frequent contact 42 their grandchildren than paternal grandparents(祖父母).They 43 that psychological behaviors related to human evolution are involved: women are always sure of their relationship to their sons or daughters, 44 men can never be wholly certain they are their children biological fathers.Further more, maternal grandparents are always more certain than paternal grandparents 45 a grandchild is related to them: “Thus maternal grandparents may go the extra mile to visit their grandchildren.”The study, 46 by Thomas Pollet and his colleagues, found that for grandparents 47 within 30 km of their grandchildren, more than 30 per cent of maternal grandmothers and 25 per cent of maternal grandfathers had 48 daily or a few times a week. In 49 , this fell to 15 percent for paternal grandparents.Mr. Pollet said: “Even in families where there has been divorce, wefound 50 differences. Grandparents on your mother’s side make the extra effort.”41. A. Based B. Relied C. Agreed D. Taken42. A. for B. to C. in D. with43. A. demand B. speculate C. deny D. require44. A. where B. whereas C. which D. why45. A. if B. how C. that D. as46. A. come across B. cut back C. covered up D. carried out47. A. departing B. existing C. living D. emerging48. A. contact B. contract C. concern D. conduct49. A. time B. detail C. addition D. contrast50. A. unchanging B. unknown C. unlikely D. UnexpectedPart IV Translate from English to Chinese (20 points)Directions: Read the following passage and translate the 5 parts underlined in the following passage from English into Chinese and write them on the Translation Paper.Scientists find that hard-working people live longer than average men and women. Career women are healthier than housewives. Evidence shows that the jobless are in poorer health than jobholders. (51) Aninvestigation shows that whenever the unemployment rate increases by 1%, the death rate increases by 2%. All this comes down to one point, work is helpful to health.Why is work good for health? It is because work keeps people busy away from loneliness. Researches show that people feel unhappy, worried and lonely when they have nothing to do. Instead, the happiest are those who are busy. (52)Many high achievers who love their careers feel that they are happiest when they are working hard. Work serves as a bridge between man and reality. (53)By work people come into contact with each other. By collective activity they find friendship and warmth. This is helpful to health. The loss of work means the loss of everything. It affects man spiritually and makes him ill.(54 )Besides, work gives one a sense of fulfillment and a sense of achievement. Work makes one feel his value and status in society. When a writer finishes his writing or a doctor successfully operates on a patient ora teacher sees his students grow, they are happy beyond words.(55)From the above we can come to the conclusion that the more you work the happier and healthier you will be. Let us work hard and study hard and live a happy and healthy life.Part V Writing (30 points)For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic: Animals—Pets or Sources of Food and Clothing? Write at least 100words and base your composition on the outline below and use the words for references as many as you can.1)有人认为,动物是宠物,是人类的朋友;2)还有人认为,动物是人类衣、食的主要来源;3)你的观点。

But 207why do people read newspapers?208Five hundred years ago, news of important happenings —battles 209lost and won, king or rulers overthrown(推翻) or killed —took months 210and even years to travel from one country to another. The news passed 211by word of mouth and was never accurate. Today we can read in our 212newspapers of important events that occur in far away countries on the 213same day they happen.214Apart from supplying news from all over the world, newspapers give 215us a lot of other useful information. There are weather reports, radio, 216television and film guides, book reviews, stories and, of course, 217advertisements. The bigger ones are put in by large companies to bring 218attention to their products. They pay the newspapers thousands of dollars 219for the advertising space but it is worth the money, for news of their 220products goes into almost every home in the country. For those who produce 221newspapers, advertisements are also very important. Money earned from 222advertisements makes it possible for them to sell their newspapers at 223a low price and still make a profit.224Newspapers often have information on gardening, cooking and fashion, 225as well as a small but very popular section on jokes and cartoons(漫226画).22741. The habit of reading newspapers is ________.228A. uncommon in the worldB. not popular 229in U.S.A.230C. widespread in the worldD. founded 231among a few families23242. A few hundred years ago news did not ________.233A. receive attentionB. 234travel fast235C. spread to other countriesD. 236take long to reach other countries23743. In the past, news was ________.238A. sent by telegraphB. 239passed from one person to another240C. sent by letterD. 241sent by telephone24244. The money spent on advertisements is ________.243A. wastedB. not244much C. worthwhile D. useless24545. The section on jokes and cartoons is ________.246A. read only by childrenB. of no valueC. not 247helpful D. read by many248249Passage 2250Pepys and his wife had asked some friends to dinner on Sunday, 251September 2nd, 1666. They were very late on the Saturday evening, getting 252everything ready for the next day, and while they were busy they saw the 253glow of a fire start in the sky. By 3 o’clock on the Sunday morning, 254its glow had become so bright that Jane woke her husband to watch it. 255Pepys slipped on his dressing-gown and went to the window to watch it. 256It seemed fairly far away, so after a time he went back to bed. When he 257got up in the morning, it looked as though the fire was dying down, though 258he could still see some flames. So he set to work to tidy his room and 259put his things back where he wanted them.260While he was doing this, Jane came in to say that she had heard the 261fire was a bad one. Three hundred houses had been burned down in the night 262and the fire was still burning. Pepys went out to see for himself. He 263went to the Tower ofLondon and climbed up on a high part of the 264buildings so that he could see what was happening. From there, Pepys could 265see that it was, indeed, a bad fire and that even the houses266on London Bridge were burning. The man of the Tower told him that the 267fire had started in a baker’s shop in Pudding Lane; the baker’s house 268had caught fire from the over-heated oven and then the flames had quickly 269spread to the other houses in the narrow lane. So began the Great Fire 270of London, a fire that lasted nearly five days, destroyed most of the 271old city and ended, so it is said, at Pie Corner.27246. What is the passage about?273A. The Great Fire of London.B. Who was 274the first to discover the fire.275C. What Pepys was doing during the fire.D. The losses caused 276by the fire.27747. They were up very late because ________.278A. it was Sunday morningB. they 279were not very sleepy280C. they were preparing for the dinnerD. they saw the 281great fire start28248. What was Pepys doing when his wife told him about the fire? 283A. He was asleep.B. 284He was writing something.285C. He was putting things back.D. He was 286looking out of the window.28749. Pepys slipped on his dressing gown. “To slip on ” means______.288A. to be wearingB. to be pushingC. to take 289off D. to put on29050. Why did the flames spread quickly?291A. The oven became very hot.B. 292The houses were close together.293C. The baker did nothing to stop it.D. The 294baker’s house was burning quickly.295296Passage 3297A new report of the United Nations shows that, if the present growth 298rate of 2 percent per year continues, today’s world population of 5.1 299billion will hit 6.4 billion by the year 2000.300What’s more, the great part of the growth—9 of every 10 people 301added to the earth’s populati on —will be in the poor and undeveloped 302countries. These are the nations where providing enough food for billions 303of people already is proving to be a headaching problem.304By the year 2000, today’s “have not” nations will have a total 305population of 5 billi on people, nearly four fifths of the world’s 306population.307Food isn’t the only problem that such a population explosion 308presents. The more people there are and the worse their living conditions, 309the greater grows the possibility of all kinds of social problems. 310In 1830, world population reached 1 billion. It took only 100 more 311years to add another billion to world population; just 30 more to add 312a third billion. And it took just 15 more years to reach the 4 billion 313mark in 1975.314Actually, the world’s birth ra te is falling. But so is death rate, 315as medical advances have made it possible for man to live longer than 316before. Such advances have also reduced baby death rate. Unless317population growth is reduced, the world population may reach 12 billion 318in a century. Is the earth capable of providing a good life for so large 319a population?32051. A population explosion will lead to ________.321A. a lot of social problemsB. medical 322advances323C. a decrease in food productionD. a worse life 324in every country32552. It took about ________ years for world population to grow from 326l billion to 3 billion.327A. 100B. 115C.328130 D. 14532953. By the year 2000, today’s ________ nations will have a total 330population of 5 billion people, nearly four fifths of the world’s 331population.332A. biggestB. AsianC.333developing D. developed33454. ________, the world may have a population of 12 billion a century. 335A. If man can live longer in the future336B. If the science of medicine is developing fast enough337C. If the population growth is not reduced338D. If the earth is able to provide a good life for more people 33955. This passage tells us that ________.340A. the United Nations thinks it possible to avoid a population 341explosion342B. 5.1 billion people are living in the undeveloped countries343C. in advanced nations the population growth is being controlled 344D. the world’s population is increasing345346Passage 4347A scientist who wants to predict the way in which consumers(消费348者) will spend their money must study consumer behavior. He must obtain 349data both on the resources of consumers and on the motives that tend to 350encourage or discourage money spending.351If an economist were asked which of the three groups borrow352most —people with rising incomes, stable incomes, or decreasing 353incomes —he would probably answer: those with decreasing incomes. 354Actually, in the years 1947-1950, the answer was: people with rising 355incomes. People with decreasing incomes were next and people with stable 356incomes borrowed the least. This shows us that traditional assumptions(假357设) about earning and spending are not always reliable. Another358traditional assumption is that if people who have money expect prices 359to go up, they will hasten to buy. If they expect prices to go down, they 360will postpone buying. But research surveys have shown that this is not 361always true. The expectations of price increases may not stimulate buying. 362One typical attitude was expressed by the wife of a mechanic in an 363interview at a time of rising prices. “In a few months,” she said, 364“we’ll have to pay more for meat and milk; we’ll have less to spend 365on other things.” Her family had been planning to buy a new car but they 366postponed this purchase. Furthermore, the rise in prices that has already 367taken place may be disliked and buyer’s resistance may be produced. This368is shown by the following typical comment: “I just don’t pay these 369prices; they are too high.”370The investigations mentioned above were carried out in America. The 371condition most helpful to spending appears to be price stability. If 372prices have been stable and people consider that they are reasonable, 373they are likely to buy. Thus, it appears that the common business policy 374of maintaining stable prices is based on a correct understanding of 375consumer psychology(心理学).37656. According to the passage, if one wants to predict the way 377consumers spend their money, he should ________.378A. rely on traditional assumptions about earning and spending 379B. try to encourage or discourage consumers to spend money380C. carry out investigations on consumer behavior and get data on 381consumers’ incomes and money spending motives382D. do researches in consumer psychology in a laboratory38357. According to paragraph 2, one traditional assumption is that 384people with ________ incomes borrow most.385A. averageB. stableC.386decreasing D. rising38758. According to paragraph 2, research surveys have proved that 388________.389A. price increases always stimulate people to hasten to buy things 390B. rising prices may make people put off their purchase of certain 391things392C. women are more sensitive to the rising in prices than men393D. the expectations of price increases often make buyers feel angry39459. From the results of the surveys, the writer of this article 395________.396A. concludes that the saving and spending patterns in Great 397Britain are better than those in America398B. concludes that the consumers always expect prices to remain stable 399C. concludes that maintaining stable prices is a correct business 400policy401D. does not draw any conclusion40260. Which of the following statements is always TRUE according to 403the surveys mentioned in the passage?404A. Consumers will put off buying things if they expect prices to 405decrease.406B. Consumers will spend their money quickly if they expect prices 407to increase.408C. The price condition has an influence on consumer behavior. 409D. Traditional assumptions about earning and spending are reliable. 410411Part III Cloze (10%)412Directions: There are 10 blanks in the following passage. For each 413blanks there are four choices marked A, B, C and D, you should choose 414one that best fits into the passage. Then mark the answer by blanking 415the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a pencil.416Humans fall into two types when it comes to biological clock: the 417early-to-bed and early-to-rise or late-night-loving who wake up long 418after the dawn. As any parent knows, teenagers may take the 61 to419extremes. But their oversleeping does not relax them. Some researcher 420say: “: Biology is to blame.”421The researchers surveyed the sleep habits of 25,000422Germans, 62 from 8 to 90, and found that as the teenage years wear 423on, the hour when kids go to bed and get up drifts later and later. It’s 424not that they’re sleeping more.63 , it’s that their living 425clock is twisted. However, around age 20, the pattern reverses. The clocks 426tick 64 , and young adults begin to go to sleep and wake up earlier 427and earlier. Eventually, their clocks coincide with 65 of older 428people.429The quick change may mark the biological end of teenage years. A 430difference 66 the timing in men and in women points to a biological 431cause, perhaps a hormonal effect.432Because the living clock is 67 by exposure to sunlight, the 433researchers suspects the many hours some kids 68 staying in their 434dark rooms could push the clocks even later—a pattern that may be more 435common in industrialized societies. The researchers also discovered that 436rural residents, 69 lifestyle puts them in daylight more, retire 437and rise an hour earlier than city 70 . “We think this is only the 438tip of an iceberg that shows us the consequences of dim-light439environments,” the researchers say.44061.

(71)The sea has 478provided man with food and a convenient way to travel to many parts of 479the world. Today, experts believe that nearly two-thirds of the world’s 480population live within eighty kilometers of the seacoast.481(72) In the modern technological world the sea offers many 482resources to help mankind survive. Resources on land are beginning to 483grow less. The sea, however, still offers hope to supply many of man’s 484needs in the future.485(73)The riches of the sea yet to be developed b y man’s technology 486are impressive. Oil and gas explorations have existed for nearly thirty 487years. Valuable amounts of minerals such as iron, copper and so on exist 488on the ocean floor.489Besides oil and gas, the sea may offer new sources of energy. 490For example, warm temperature of the ocean can be used as the steam in 491a steamship. Sea may also offer a source of energy as electricity for 492mankind.493(74)Technology is enabling man to explore even deeper under the sea. 494It is obvious that the technology to harvest the sea continues to improve. 495(75) By the year 2050, experts believe that the problems to explore the 496food, minerals and energy resources of the sea will have been largely 497solved.498499Part V Writing (15%)500For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on 501the topic:502Global Shortage of Fresh Water Write at least 100 words and base 503your composition on the outline below and use the words for references 504as many as you can.5051. 人们以为淡水是取之不尽的(提示:雨水、河水、井水......)5062. 实际上淡水是非常紧缺的(提示:人口增加,工业用水增加,污507染......)5083. 我们应该怎么办509510解析511Part I Vocabulary and Structure5121.

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage OneDante Gabriel Rossetti, the famous 19th-century poet and artist, was once approached by a n elderly man. The old fellow had some drawings that he wanted Rossetti to look at and tell him if they were any good, or if they at least showed potential talent.Rossetti looked them over carefully. After the first few, he knew that they were worthless, showing not the least sign of artistic talent. But Rossetti was a kind man, and he told the elderly man as gently as possible that the pictures were without much value and showed little talent. He was sorry, but he could not lie to the man. The visitor was disappointed, but seemed to have expected Rossetti's judgment.He then apologized for taking up Rossetti’s time, but would he just look at a few more drawings—these done by a young art student? Rossetti looked over the second group of drawings and immediately became enthusiastic over the talent they revealed. “These,” he said, “oh, these are good. This young student has great talent. He has a great future if he will work hard and stick to it.”Rossetti could see that the old fellow was deeply moved. “Who is this fine young artist?” he asked. “Your son?” “No,” said the old man sadly. “It is me—40 years ago. If only I had heard your praise then! For you see, I got discouraged and gave up—too soon.”1. An old man asked Rossetti to .A. draw a picture for himB. teach him how to paintC. evaluate his drawingsD. help improve his painting skills2. Which of the following could be best said about Rossetti?A. Critical.B. Sincere.C. Stubborn.D. Creative.3. How did the old man respond to Rossetti’s negative comment?A. He was angry and desperate.B. He was surprised and disappointed.C. He was discouraged, but took it calmly.D. He was hurt, but could do nothing about it.4. Rossetti said that the young art student .A. would have a bright futureB. had some potential, but not great talentC. was as talented as the old manD. showed little talent in painting5. What does the story try to tell us?A. Never give up too easily.B. No pains, no gains.C. Early bird catches the worm.D. It’s never too old to learnPassage TwoSaving energy means saving money. Homeowners know this basic fact, but they often don’t know what kinds of adjustments they can make in their houses and apartments that will result in savings.For those willing to spend some time and money to reap long-term energy savings, an energy assessment is the way to go. An energy assessor will come into your home and assess its energy efficiency. The assessor will find out areas o f your home that use the most energy and offer solutions to lower your energy use and costs. Trained energy assessors know what to look for and can locate a variety of problems that m a y b e resulting i n energy inefficiency,including inadequate insulation(隔热), construction problems, a n d uneven heat distribution.There are quicker and less costly measures that can be taken as well. One way to save money is to replace bulbs with fluorescents(荧光灯). This can result in a saving of more than 50% on your monthly lighting costs.When it’s time to replace old appliances, it’s wise to spend a bit more for an energy efficient model, and b e sure that you are taking advantage of energy-saving settings already on your current refrigerator, dishwasher, washing machine, or dryer.Windows provide another opportunity to cut your energy costs. Fill the holes or cracks of old windows that might be leaky to let in cold wind, a n d choose double-paned(双层)windows i f you’re building a n addition o r replacing o ld windows. Most areas o f your hom e or apartment offer opportunities to save energy and money. The results are significant and are well worth the effort.6. According to the passage, which of the following would an energy assessor do?A. Change your light bulbs.B. Fix construction problems.C. Replace your old appliances.D. Check your heating system.7. As is implied in the passage, energy assessment is .A. free of chargeB. worthwhile in the long runC. absolutely necessaryD. kind of troublesome8. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?A. Using fluorescent can cut 50% of the lighting costs.B. Energy efficient appliances should be used.C. A local energy company will send an energy assessor on request.D. Some appliances have energy-saving settings.9.According to the passage, double-paned windows .A. are energy efficientB. can only be used as replacementC. are only used in new buildingsD. will lower your heating costs by 50%10.Which of the following best expresses the main idea of this passage?A. There are many things a homeowner can do to save energy and moneyB. Hiring an energy assessor will save energy and money.C. Homeowners don't know what they can do to save energy and money.D. Replacing windows and light bulbs are well worth the effort and cost.Passage ThreeIs Halloween celebrated where you live? In the United States and Canada, Halloween is widely known and celebrated every year on October 31. Halloween customs, though, can be found i n many other parts o f the globe. I n some places holidays are celebrated that, although named differently, share similar themes: contact with the spirit world involving the spirits of the dead, the devil and angels.Personally, you may not believe in supernatural spirits. You might simply view taking part in Halloween and similar celebrations as a way t o have fun and teach your children to explore their imagination. Many people, though, regard these celebrations a s harmful fo r the following reasons:Firstly, Halloween is actually related to the prospect of contact with spiritual forces, many of which threaten or frighten. Likewise, many celebrations like Halloween have religious origins and are deeply rooted in ancestor worship (祖先崇拜). Even today, people around the world use these days to make contact with supposed spirits of the dead.Secondly, although Halloween has been viewed mainly as an American holiday, each year people i n more and more countries have been adopting it. Many newcomers to the celebration, however, are unaware of the religious origins of Halloween symbols, decorations, and customs, most of which are related to supernatural beings and supernatural forces.Thirdly, thousands of people, who follow ancient Celts(凯尔特⼈), still call Halloween by the ancient name Samhain and consider it to be the most sacred night of the year. Others don’t realize it, while they’ re celebrating the Celtic holiday.I n view o f the foregoing, i t i s wise for you t o know about the dark origins o f Halloween and similar celebrations. Having this fuller understanding may help you decide whether to participate in these holidays.11. According to the author, the theme of Halloween is to .A. celebrate the harvest seasonB. spread religious teachingsC. contact the spirit of the deadD. help children explore their imagination12. Many people regard Halloween celebrations as harmful because .A. the celebrations can disturb the deadB. some of the celebration activities are frighteningC. children may be frightened by supernatural forcesD. some of the celebrations are very dangerous13. Those who celebrate Halloween without knowing its origins may .A. not understand Halloween’s true meaningB. act as strangely as the dead and the devilsC. ruin the atmosphere of the celebrationsD. change their religious beliefs14. According to the passage, Halloween was probably first celebrated by .A. AmericansB. CanadiansC. IndiansD. Celts15. The author’s purpose in writing this passage is to .A. warn people not to celebrate Halloween any moreB. criticize the Halloween celebration activitiesC. tell people to be careful in deciding whether to celebrate HalloweenD. promote the tradition of Halloween and its celebrationsPassage FourAmericans use the term “college students” to mean students either in colleges or universities. Not only that, Americans almost never say “going off t o university” o r “when I was i n university.” That sounds British. Instead, they say “going off t o college” and “when I was in college.”College, university: what' s the difference?Colleges and universities have many things in common. Both offer undergraduate degrees in the arts and sciences, for example. And both ca n help prepare young people t o earn a living. Bu t many colleges d o n o t offer graduate studies. Another difference i s thatuniversities are generally bigger. They offer more programs and do more research.Another place of higher education, especially in technical areas, is an institute, like the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Yet even an institute of technology can offer a wide choice of programs and activities. M.I.T. says that 75 percent of freshmen come there with a strong interest and involvement in the arts.Modem universities developed from those o f Europe i n th e Middle Ages. T h e word “university” came from th e Latin universitas, describing a group of people organized for a common purpose. “College” came from collegium, a Latin word with a similar meaning. In England, colleges were formed to provide students with places to live. Usually each group was studying the same thing. So college came to mean an area of study.The first American universities divided their studies into a number of areas and called each one a college. This is still true.A college can also be a part of a university. For example, Harvard College is the undergraduate part of Harvard University.Programs in higher learning can also be called schools, like a school of engineering or a medical school within university. You know, learning all these terms is an education in itself.16. Americans use “college students” to refer to students either in colleges or universities, because .A. there are more colleges than universities in AmericaB. colleges and universities are actually the sameC. both colleges and universities can offer degreesD. colleges and universities have many things in common17.

For one thing, you might have a job, but 8 it is very well-paid, you will not be able to afford many o f the things that there are t o do,because living i n a city i s often very expensive. I t i s particularly difficult t o find good, 9 accommodation. What is more, public transport is sometimes crowded and dirty,especially during the 10 hours, and even the parks can become very crowded, especially on Sundays when it seems that every resident i s looking for some open space and green grass.

(1) I Q tests have managed to confuse many of us, leading us to believe that intelligence is largely fixed. It is not.(2) Just like swimming, cooking, dancing, and just about anything else, being smart is a skill that requires training. I will share with you some of what I have learned.Be PersistentSmart, successful people don’t give up. They believe that they can do it, and so they keep trying until, finally, they succeed. You might know that Thomas Edison failed thousands of times before h e succeeded. (3) What you might not.know i s that just about all scientists experience failure on a regular basis. So if you want to be smart, be persistent.Learn to Present Your IdeasTwo people can have the same ideas, and the same views and opinions, and yet only one of them might be considered smart. We often forget that everyone is busy with their own lives; they don't have time to think about and analyze everything we say. (4) If we don’t sell our ideas, virtually no one will recognize their merit. So, if you want others to know that you’re smart, learn how to present your ideas.Believe in yourself(5) We are all a lot more similar than we appear. Those who appear smarter than you simply had the right tools and used these tools to exercise their minds.Part V Writing (15%)For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic: Overseas Study at an Early Age.

Each passage is followed by 5 questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEETPassage OneA few centuries ago, people looked at the birds and wondered what it would be like to fly like them. There were stories of heroes who glued bird feathers on their arms and flew up into the sky.About 500 years ago, some people dreamed a different dream. Instead of flying up to the sky. they dreamed of falling from the sky!In the 15th century, Italian inventors designed a cone-shaped (锥形)device that was supposed to bring a man down safely from a great height. The operator held on to a handle with straps strapped to his waist. This was the first known design for a parachute (降落伞).Even the great inventor Leonardo da Vinci sketched a type of parachute. His parachute design was in the shape of a pyramid (金字塔). Other inventors also sketched their own designs for a parachute. Unfortunately, these were only designs on paper andno one tested them.A Croatian inventor named Fausto Veranzio looked at Leonardo da Vinci's parachute design and replaced the pyramid shape with one that looked like a sail from a ship. When Veranzio was 65 years old. he fell ill. Thinking he would not live longer, he decided to try out his parachute invention. He built his parachute using wood and cloth. Strapping his invention to his waist, he jumped off the tall bell lower in his city. Helanded safely! He was supposedly the first man to successfully use a parachute. However, some people thought this story was not true. If that was the case, then the first person to successfully usea parachute would go to a Frenchman named Louis-Sebastien Lenormand in 1783.16.The first known parachute was designed by ________________________________.A.FrenchmenB.ItaliansC. CroatiansD. Englishmen17.Leonardo da Vinci's parachute was shaped like a ________________________________ .A. coneB. featherC. pyramidD. sail18.Which of the following about Fausto Veranzio is true?A.He copied da Vinci's parachute design.B.He made his parachute with leather and wood.C.He experimented with his parachute many times.D.He decided to try his parachute after he was seriously ill.19.As for the first man who successfully used a parachute. ________________________________ .A.it was said to be Leonardo da VinciB we know for sure he was VeranzioC.there were some historical recordsD.we don't know for sure yet20.The passage is mainly about ___________________________ .A.the origin of the parachuteB. the dreams of flying and fallingC.the courage of dropping from the skyD.the application of parachute inventionPassage TwoOut of all the students who enroll in a massive open online course (MOOC), only about 5 percent complete the course and receive a certificate of accomplishment. This statistic is often cited as evidence that MOOCs are fatally flawed(有缺陷的) and offer little educational value to moststudents. Yet more than 80 percent of students who fill out a post-course survey say they met their primary objective. How do we look at these two facts?We're used to focusing on completion rates in higher education, but they're not the only-or even the most meaningful-indicator of engagement in open online courses. With no cost to enroll, no punishment for dropping out. and little reward for actually earning a certificate. MOOCs arc fundamentally different from traditional classes-and students use them in fundamentally different ways.Data from more than 1.8 million enrolled in 36 MOOCs offered by the University of Pennsylvania show that students treat MOOCs like a buffet(自助餐), sampling the material according to their interests and career goals. Some are curious about the subject matter and just watch one or two video lectures; others use the discussion forums to connect with their intellectual peer , around the world. Of all enrolled students, nearly 60 percent watch at least one video, complete at least one assignment, or post at least once in a forum.So focusing on the tiny fraction of students who complete a MOOC is misguided. The more important number is the 60 percent engagement rate. Students may not finish a MOOC with a certificate of accomplishment, but the courses nonetheless meet the educational goals of millions.21. What do we learn about MOOCs from Para.1 ?A.There seems to be conflicting statistics about MOOCs.B.It turns out that MOOCs have failed people's expectations.C.Most students find it hard to judge the value of MOOCs.D.The educational value of MOOCs is well acknowledged.22. In Para. 2, the author stresses __________________ .A.the primary objective of MOOC studentsB.the significance of completion rates in educationC.the strengths and weaknesses of open online coursesD.the differences between MOOCs and traditional classes23. According to Para. 3. students choose MOOCs for the following reasons EXCEPT_____.A.earning a certificateB.improving job-related skillsC. meeting their interest in the subjectsD. exchanging ideas with students worldwide24. The sentence "students treat MOOCs as a buffet " (Para. 3) ___________________________ .A.emphasizes the core value of MOOCsB.demonstrates the daily operation of MOOCsC.indicates students are free to choose MOOC resourcesD.explains what students learn from MOOC courses25. What is the author's attitude toward MOOCs?A.Critical.B.Supportive.C.Indifferent.D.Neutral.Passage ThreeWhether you are hiking through the magnificent redwoods of Northern California, sleeping under the brilliant stars of the Texas sky, or watching the sun rise across the rocky cliffs of Maine, experiencing the outdoor world can be inspiring, thrilling, and deeply satisfying. And one of the best ways to enjoy the abundant gifts of the natural world is simple, inexpensive, and available to almost everyone. Let's go camping!When you camp,you create a “home away from home” in the fresh air. You don’t need a lot of fancy equipment to enjoy camping. What you need is simply a tent large enough for your family. Practice setting up the tent at home to make sure you are familiar with the process before you go camping.Once you find a good site, it's time to set up camp. Your first job is to set up your tent. Remove all sticks and rocks from the area. Spread a tarp(防水帆布)over the area where your tent will sit. Set up the tent and be sure to stake it down firmly, even if the weather is mild. Otherwise, strong wind can blow your tent away.Next, you’ll need some firewood for a campfire. It gathering wood is illegal at your campground, you must buy it at the camp store. It gathering dead wood is permitted, go on a firewood-hunting journey and bring in a good supply of wood for your campsite. Pile the wood safely away from the campfire ring and where no one will trip over the wood or hurt his or her legs on sharp branches.Being a responsible camper requires that you follow the rules of the campground. Do not burn food or plastic in your campfire. Make sure that you leave your campsite in good condition for the next campers. Just before leaving the site, make a final check to be certain that your campfire is completely out. Pour water on the ashes just to be sale!26. As is suggested by the author, you should practice setting up your tentA.before the weather turns badB.before your first camping tripC.after having selected your campsiteD.once you have decided here to go27. What is the first thing you should do alter choosing a campsite?A.Gather firewood.B.Spread a trap on the ground.C.Set up the tent.D.Remove sticks and rocks from the tent area.28. You can gather firewood only ______________________ .A.after you are sure that it is permittedB.after you are certain that no one will get hurtC.if there is no camp store nearbyD.if firewood is out of stock in a camp store29. The last thing you should do before leaving your campsite isA.bum all the trashB.clean the campsiteC.pour water on the ashesD. collect all the rubbish30.The passage is mainly about __________________________ .A.safety measures a camper should takeB.problems you may face as a camperC.what you need to know about campingD.what you need to bring along for campingPassage FourEvery country has secret services to help protect it against serious threats from terrorists, major criminals or even from other countries. People who threaten to harm a country always plot in secret, so the intelligence agencies have to work in secret to find out what is being planned before it happens, so that it can be prevented. They do that in many different ways一by secretly listening to their targets talking on the phone. by planting microphones to overhear meetings, by watching the targets as they move from place to place and by recruiting some of the targets to act as double agents to report on what is going on.For most of my career I worked in one of the UK's three intelligence services, MI5, the domestic security service. I first joined in the 1970s, in the middle of the Cold War,when the world was divided into two armed camps, the Soviet Union (前苏联) and its allies on the one side and Western Europe, America and their allies on the other. The Cold War never became a fighting war. It was an intelligence war, with intelligence officers from both sides trying to find out what the other side was doing, what kind of weapons they had, when and if they might start a war and what their plans were. Both sides were secretly working in each other's countries.Nowadays one of the biggest threats to the world comes from terrorists. Intelligence officers from many different countries are working together to find out who they are, where they are and what they are planning. Today's MI5 officers get theirintelligence in much the same way as we did during the Cold War, but their task is even more difficult and urgent because most terrorists "want to kill people. Many terroristattacks that are planned and prepared never happen, and we never know anything about them because the intelligence sendees find them out and prevent them.31. What is the first paragraph mainly about?A.The tasks of intelligence agencies.B.The contributions of intelligence agencies.C.The equipment used by intelligence agents.D.The recruitment of intelligence agents.32. The biggest security threats for Britain in the 1970s were from_______.A.international terroristsB.the Soviet Union and its alliesC.major criminals within the countryD.agents working for both camps33. What is true about the Cold War?A.Both camps were planning to start a war.B.It was a war fought with advanced weapons.C.No fierce clash broke out during the period.D.It is not regarded as an intelligence war.34. MI5 officers' task is more urgent today in thatA.terrorists arc more difficult to find than spies.B.most terrorist attacks are aimed at killing peopleC.terrorist attacks happen more frequently than beforeD.it takes only a little time to prepare a terrorist attack35. The best title for the passage might be"_____________".A.Ways of Gathering IntelligenceB.National Defense Against All ThreatsC.Which Is More Threatening: Terrorists Or Spies?D.What We Do As Intelligence OfficersPart III Vocabulary and Structure (20 points)Directions: There are 40 incomplete sentences in this part.

学位英语模拟试题与答案超详解.doc

2015年学位英语模拟试题与答案超详解Part I Reading Comprehension (30%)Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:Archaeology, like many academic words, comes from Greek and means, more or less, “the study of old things”. So, it is really a part of the study of history. However, most historians use paper evidence, such as letters, paintings and photographs,but archaeologists (考古家) learn from the objects left behind by the humans of long ago. Normally, these are the hard materials that don't break down or disappear very quickly—things like human bones and objects made from stone and metal.It is very unusual to find anything more than the hard evidence of history--normally, the bacteria (细菌) in the air eat away at soft materials, like bodies, clothes and things made of wood. Occasionally, things are different.In 1984, two men made an amazing discovery while working in a bog called Lindow Moss, in the north of England. A bog is a very wet area of earth, with a lot of plants growing in it. It can be like a very big and very thick vegetable soup—walk in the wrong place and you can sink and disappear forever. The men were working when one of them saw something sticking out—a human foot! Naturally, the men called the police,who then found the rest of the body. Was it a case of murder? Possibly--but it was a death nearly two thousand years old. The two men had found a body from the time of the Roman invasion of Britain. Despite being so old, this body had skin, muscles, hair and internal organs—the scientists who examined him were able to look inside the man's stomach and find the food that he had eaten for his last meal!Why was this man so well preserved? (76) It was because he was in a very watery environment, safe fi:om the bacteria that need oxygen to live. Also, the water in the bog was very acidic. The acid preserved the man's skin in the way that animal skin is preserved for leather coats and shoes.How did he die? Understandably, archaeologists and other scientists wanted to know more about the person that they called,“Lindow Man”. (77) His hands and fingernails suggested that he hadn't done heavy manual work in his life—he could have been a rich man. They found that he hadn't died by accident. The archaeologists believe that he was sacrificed to three different gods.1. Which language does the word “archaeology”come from?A. French.B. Greek.C. Roman.D. German.【答案】B。

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Y ou should decide on the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet. Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:The casual meal we call a sandwich takes its name form Englishman John Montagu (1718-1972),the Fourth Earl(伯爵) of Sandwich.It is believed that the earl had his servant bring him meals consisting of meat served between two pieces of bread so that the nobleman could eat at the gaming table.During the Industrial Revolution,the sandwich served as a practical lunch that could be prepared at home and carried to work.In the early 1990s,the sandwich became popular with the introduction of sliced (切片的)bread.(76)Most of America’s beloved regional sandwich Varieties fist appeared in the early part of the 20th century.Here are two kinds of most popular sandwich.A Submarine Sandwich is made on a long loaf of bread that is sliced lengthwise(纵向地) and generously stuffed.The earliest Submarine Sandwiches were filled with layers of Italian sliced meats an cheeses,and then topped with vegetables such as lettuce(生菜)and tomato.The bread was lightly coated with oil.Later varieties include hot oven-baked "submarine Sandwich"came form East Coast shipyard workers.Similar sandwiches are called "Grinders"in New England an "Heroes"in New York.(77)The sandwiches have their origins in Italian-American neighborhoods along the eastern,but are now available all across the United States.The New Orleans Poor Boy was named during a streetcar strike in New Orleans in 1929.Sandwiches made on a small,narrow loaf of French bread with leftovers(剩菜) such as roast beef were given away free to the striking workers,who were sympathetically called "those poor boys".Soon restaurants and stores all over New Orleans began calling their sandwiches"Poor Boy".Seafood Poor Boys are the most distinguishing variety .All kinds of seafood were often filled with fried seafood were rich and cheap in New Orleans at the time,and the sandwiches were often filled with fried seafood.You order a New Orleans Poor Boy "dressed"if you want lettuce and tomato or"undressed"if you want it plain.1.Which of the following statements about sandwiches is TRUE according to Paragraph 1?A.

Sandwiches first appeared in the 17th century.2.When did sandwiches become a kind of popular food?A. At the time of the Englishman John Montagu.B. At the time when sliced bread was introduced on the market.C. At the very beginning of Industrial Revolution.D. In the early part of 19th century.3.According to Paragraph 2,a Submarine Sandwich is ?A.available everywhere in the United StatesB.only sold along the eastern coastC.enjoyed by only

tomato.C.Poor Boys were first made on a long loaf of bread.D.Seafood Poor Boy is a distinctive variety of it.Passage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:One of the challenges facing families today is the attraction of computers and video games.Electronic toys are available in children’s toy section.By the time children start school,many are masters of mice.Most parents are aware that time spent Playing violent video games increases more aggressive thoughts in children,teens,and even adults.Many parents worry that playing much violent.A direct link between gaming and actual violence isn’t yet clear,but the evidence suggests that it is likely true.(78)Perhaps more surprisingly,there are also reasons to be concerned about the use of non-violent video games.Several studies have shown that video games take too much study time and interfere with grades and homework performance.In other words,they may do more harm than good.For example,an interesting study reported in the journal Psychological Science(2010),looked at s group of boys who didn’t own video games.The researchers reviewed the boy’s academic achievement and behaviors;then they randomly(随便地)selected half of this group of boys to receive free video games and waited four months.At that time,they took another look at how the tow groups were doing.(79)Those with the free video games had lower reading and writing scores and more behavior problems.The more they reported having played with the games,the worse their achievement scores came out.Findings like these suggest that even educationally based video games probably should receive thorough testing and validation(确认)before any claims about their helpfulness are made.On the other hand,there’s no question that video games may improve specific motor skills as well as provide good entertainment for kids and adults alike.Thus,we aren’t about to suggest their elimination(除去)form the home.The problem comes about when the games are especially violent or when the time spent in playing games exceeds a certain limit.6.What is the main idea of this passage?A.Violent video games are harmless to children.B.Children should not be permitted to play video games.C.Long-time video games are harmful to children.D.Video games can bring nothing good to children.7.The word "aggressive"in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to .A.inclined to behave in hostile fashionB.bold and optimisticC.fast growingD.tough and selfish8.Many parents have come to realize that .A.violent video games are directly linked with actual violent actionsB.violent video games increase children’s thoughts of attacking other peopleC.non-violent video games are harmfulD.non-violent video games should be permitted at home9.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to paragraph 2?A.Those who played free video games for four months had better academic achievement.B.The more free video games students played,the better their academic scores came out.C.Playing too much free video games was the reason for students’ bad academic performance.D.It has been proved that makes non-violent video games do not cause poor homework performance.10.What is the factor that makes non-violent video games harmful to children?A.Contents of games.B.Length of time spent on game-playing.C.Quality of games.D.Entertainment levels of games.Passage 3Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:Hundreds of years ago,the scene was not unusual.Farmers with baskets of fresh yellow peaches,red berries,and green vegetables would set up stands in the village marketplace.(80)Customers would flood into the market to purchase food for the coming week,bargaining and exchanging the news of the day.Now farmers markets are located within the busy streets of New York City.The small park in Manhattan known as Union Square is surrounded by tall office buildings and famous stores.Located on Broadway between East 14th and 17th Streets,Union Square is the year-round site of a farmers market that opens rain or shine four times a week.Customers select with great care among the various kinds of fruits,vegetables,dairy products,meats,and baked goods.Despite the prevalence(流行)of heavily advertised fast foods,many people seek more healthful foods.A number of shoppers,concerned about the environment,like to purchase organic(有机的)foods that are free of pesticides(杀虫剂).This explains the enormous popularity of the farmers markets,which are sponsored by Greenmarket,a privately funded program of the Council on the Environment of New York City.In addition to the large market at Union Square,there are farmers markets at 48 other sites throughout the New York City area.Some open only at certain times during the year.One of these more popular seasonal sites is at Rockefeller Center,site of NBC studios and Radio City Music Hall.Tourists visiting during the summertime are surprised to see farmers selling produce,honey,and baked goods at the site of the world famous Christmas tree.Besides regular shoppers,the farmers market,in fact,is full of children who are learning what vegetables such as onion bulbs look like when they are pulled fresh from the ground.They are extremely excited to find peaches still attached to leaves.They find potatoes still covered withrich-smelling soil.These city children are learning about healthful food in its most natural state.11.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to Paragraph 1?A.Farmers market in New York disappeared hundreds of years ago.B.Farmers market in New York was an unusual thing hundreds of years ago.C.Farmers marketplaces are near the busy streets of New York.D.Busy streets of New York are where farmers marketplaces are located.12.Why is farmers market popular in Now York?A.Because the farmers marketplaces are surrounded by tall office buildings and famous stores.B.Because the fruits,vegetables and meats in farmers markets are cheaper than those in stores.C.Because many people think farmers markets can provide more healthful foods.D.Because shoppers can take a walk while buying foods in farmers markets.13.Which of the following statements describes correctly about the Union Square farmers Markey?A.The market is open every day all year round.B.The market is closed on rainy days.C.The market opens four times a week in winter.D.The market is located on Broadway.14.The farmers market at Rockefeller Center opens .A.in summer B.on sunny daysC.all year round D.only on demand15.Children go to the farmers market to .A.to buy fruits for their

Reading ComprehensionPassage OneAfter the violent earthquake that shook Los Angeles in 1994, earthquake scientists had good news to report: The damage and death toll (死亡人数 ) could have been much worse.More than 60 people died in this earthquake. By comparison, an earthquake of similar intensity that shook American in 1988 claimed 25,000 victims.Injuries and deaths were relatively less in Los Angeles because the quake occurred at 4:31 A.m. on a holiday, when traffic was light on the city’s highways. In addition, changes made to the construction codes in Los Angeles during the last 20 years have strengthened the city’s buildings and highways, making them more resistant to quakes.Despite the good news, civil engineers aren’t resting on their successes. Pinned to their drawing boards are blueprints(蓝图) for improved quake-resistant buildings. The new designs should offer even greater security to cities where earthquakes often take place.In the past, making structures quake-resistant meant firm yet flexible materials, such as steel and wood, that bend without breaking. Later, people tried to lift a building off its foundation, and insert rubber and steel between the building and its foundation to reduce the impact of ground .The most recent designs give buildings brains as well as concrete and steel supports. Called smart buildings, the structures respond like living organisms to an earthquake’s vibrations. When the ground shakes and the building tips forward, the computer would force the building to shift in the opposite direction.The new smart structures could be very expensive to build. However, they would save many lives and would be less likely to be damaged during earthquakes.。

Some are of wines for 21 drinking, but most are of fine wines. Last winter, at Christies, a dozen bottles of Lafite 1945 were 22 down at £ 158 a bottle.1945 and 1961 are the two most 23 vintage years for claret(红葡萄酒). Of course, that is not the maximum you could pay. Not 24 ago, an American at Christies paid £ 8,500 for one bottle of Lafite 1806.Sometimes, it is a matter of personal 25 by the very rich. At other times there can be a26 objective. Last October, a restaurateur from Memphis, paid £ 9,000 for a magnum--that is,a two-bottle size--of 1864 Lafite. He 2730 people £ 1,500 each for a dinner with a small glass of the wine. It was 28 ten times the cost of the wine in publicity for his restaurant.Of course, some people buy wine purely for investment. On the other hand, a real wine lover will use the 29 value of good wine to pay for his own drinking. A syndicate of four will buy a 30 of Lafite 1945 at, say, £ 2,000. Each takes three bottles. Then each drinks one bottle, and keeps the other two to sell later at the 31 price as the three cost in the first place. That is, naturally, taking inflation into 32.But there is no 33 that a bottle of wine at £ 1,000 is a hundred times 34 than one that costs £ 10. Perhaps the top price you can pay for wine to enjoy for drinking is £100 a bottle. Above£ 100, you are paying for something 35 than taste.A.usualB.commonC.dailyD.everyday22、A.knockedB.hitC.bangedD.hammered23、A.up-to-dateB.recentC.nowD.modern24、A.farB.monthsC.longD.way25、A.selfishnessB.prideC.habitD.hobby26、A.moneyB.wholesaleC.commercialD.economical27、A.chargedB.costC.billedD.budgeted28、A.valuedB.pricedC.worthD.estimated29、A.liftingB.risingC.peakingD.raising30、A.caseB.boxC.loadD.fill31、A.equalB.similarC.sameD.level32、A.reasonB.accountC.expectationD.addition33、A.wayB.hopeC.considerationD.possible34、A.betterB.superiorC.aboveD.more35、A.toB.otherC.aboveD.over四、阅读理解36、根据下⾯内容,回答36-55题: HOTEL LEAFLETRead the information provided in a room leaflet from The Barclay Hotel in New York.YOUR ROOM AT A GLANCEINSTANT SERVICETo make your stay more enjoyable ,Instant Service is available "around the clock" for any requests.WAKE-UP SERVICEPlease contact Instant Service.IN-ROOM BARYour private bar is stocked daily with a variety of drinks and snacks.
