Then the barter system was replaced by coins, which still had real value since they were pieces of rare metal. Coins were followed by fiat money, paper notes that have value only because everyone agrees to accept them.Today electronic monetary systems are gradually being introduced that will transform money into even less tangible forms, reducing it to a series of “bits and bytes”, or units of computerized information, going between machines at the speed of light. Already, electronic fund transfer allows money to be instantly sent and received by different banks, companies, and countries through computers and telecommunications devices.26. Which of the following would be the most appropriate title for the passage?A. International Banking PoliciesB. The History of Monetary ExchangeC. The Development of Paper CurrenciesD. Current Problems in the Economy27. According to the passage, which of the following was the earliest kind of exchange of wealth?A. Bartered foodsB. Fiat moneyC. Coin currencyD. Intangible forms28.

According to the passage, coins once had real value as currency because they ______.A. represented a great improvement over barterB. permitted easy transportation of wealthC. were made of precious metalsD. could become collector’s items30. Which of the following statements about computerized monetary systems is NOT supported by the passage?A. They promote international trade.B. They allow very rapid money transfers.C. They are still limited to small transactions (交易).hey are dependent on good telecommunications systems.BDeep inside a mountain near Sweetwater in East. T ennessee is a body of water known as the Lost Sea. It is listed by the Guin ness Book of Would Records as the world’s largest underground lake. The Lost Sea is part of an extensive and historic cave system called Craighead Caverns.The caverns have been known and used since the days of the Cherokee Indiannation. The cave expands into a series of huge rooms from a small opening on the side of the mountain. Approximately one mile from the entrance, in a room called “The Council Room,” many Indian artisfacts have been found. Some of the items discovered include pottery, arrowheads, weapons, and jewelry.For many years there were persistent rumors of a large underground lake somewhere in a cave, but it was not discovered until 1905. In that year, a thirteen-year-old boy named Ben Sandscrawled through a small opening three hundred feet underground. He found himself in a large cave half filled with water. Today tourists visit the Lost Sea and ride far out onto it in glass-bottomed boats powered by electric motors. More than thirteen acres of water have been mapped out so far and still no end to the lake has been found. Even though teams of divers have tried to explore the Lost Sea, the full extent of it is still unknown.31. The Lost Sea is unique because it is ________.A. part of a historical cave systemB. the biggest underground lake in the worldC. listed in the Guinness Book of World RecordsD. the largest body of water in T ennessee32. The Craighead Caverns have been known ________.A. through historyB. since the time of the Indian nationsC. since 1905D. since divers explored them33. Who located the Lost Sea in recent times?A.

Many old Indian objects.35. It can be inferred from the passage that the Craighead Caverns presently serve as ____.A. an underground testing siteB. an Indian meeting groundC. a tourist attractionD. a motor boat race courseCBanks are not ordinarily prepared to pay out all accounts; they rely on depositors (储户) not to demand payment all at the same time. If depositors should come to fear that a bank is not safe, that it cannot pay off all its depositors, then that fear might cause all the depositors to appear on the same day. If they did, the bank could not pay all accounts. However, if they did not all appear at once, then there would always be enough money to pay those who wanted their money when they wanted it. Mrs. Elsie Vaught has told us of a terrifying bank run that she experienced. One day in December of 1925 several banks failed to open in a city where Mrs. Vaught lived. The other banks expected a run the next day, and so the officers of the bank in which Mrs Vaught worked as a teller had enough money on hand to pay off their depositors. The officers simply told the tellers to pay on demand. The next morning a crowd gathered in the bank and on the sidewalk outside. The length of the line made many think that the bank could not possiblypay off everyone. People began to push and then to fight for places near the tellers’windows, The power of the panic atmosphere was such that two tellers, though they knew that the bank was quite all right and could pay all depositors, drew their own money from the bank. Mrs Vaught says that she had difficulty keeping herself from doing the same.36. A bank run happens when _______.A. a bank is closed for one or more daysB. too many depositors try to draw out their money at onetimeC. there is not enough money to pay all its depositors at one timeD. tellers of a bank take their own money from the bank37. The tellers in Mrs. Vaught’s bank were told to ________.A. explain why they could not pay out all accountsB. pay out accounts as requestedC. make the depositors believe that the bank was standD. pay out money as slowly as possible38. The main cause of a bank run is _______.A. loss of confidenceB. lack of moneyC. crowds of peopleD. inexperienced tellers39. Which of the following did Mrs. Vaught say?A. She know that the bank was not sound.B. She feared that too many depositors drawing their money would close the bank.C. She was not able to draw out her money.D. She was tempted to draw out her money.40. According to the passage, the actions of the depositors of Mrs. Vaugh t’s bank were affected mainly by the _______.A. ease with which they could get their moneyB. confidence that Mrs. Vaught showedC. failure of several other banks to openD. confidence shown by other depositors of the bankDOne of the greatest problems for those settlers in Nebraska in the last quarter of the previous century was fuel. Little of the state was forested when the first settlers arrived and it is probablethat by 1880, only about one-third of the originally forested area remained, down to a m ere 1 percent of the state’s 77,000 square miles. With wood and coal out of the question, and with fuel needed year-round for cooking, and during the harsh winter months for heating, some solution had to be found.Somewhat improbably, the buffalo provided the answer. Buffalo chips (干粪块) were found to burn evenly, hotly, and cleanly, with little smoke and interestingly, no odor, Soon, collecting them became a way of life for the settlers’ children who would pick them up on their way to and from school, or take part in competitions designed to counteract their natural reluctance. Even a young man, seeking to impress the girl he wanted to marry, would arrive with a large bag of chips rather than with a box ofcandy or a bunch of flowers.41. What is the main topic of this passage?A. The solution to the Nebraska settlers’ fuel problem.B. Life in Nebraska in the late ninteenth century.C. The imporance of the American buffalo.D. Deforestation in Nebraska in the late nineteenth century.42. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. Nebraska was not a densely-forested state even before the settlers arrived.B. The children enjoyed collecting the buffalo chips.C. The children spent a lot of time collecting the chips.D. Buffalo chips were satisfactory as a fuel.43. The passage implies that buffalo chips were needed _______.A. in greater amounts in summerB. in greater amounts in winterC. only in summerD. only in winter44. Which of the following does the author not express surprise at?A. The children needed competitions to them.B. The buffalo chips gave off no smell.C. Buffalo chips were the answer to the settlers’ fuel problem.D. Young men took bags of buffalo chips to their girl friends.45. What’s the best title of the passage?A. Early SettlersB. One Use of the Buffalo ChipsC. Nebraska’s ProblemsD. How Young Men Express Their Love for Girls三．完型填空(每空1分, 20题, 共20分)Harriet Tubman was born a slave.

The system is famous for its oshiya--- literally, “pusher”--- who shove passengers into crowded subway cars so the doors can close. And you think your commute is hell.The Moscow Metro Features: The Moscow Metro has some of the most beautiful stations in the world. The best of them were built during the Stalinist era and feature chandeliers(枝形吊灯), marble moldings and elaborate murals(精美的壁画). With more than 7 million riders a day, keeping all that marble clean has got to be a burden.The Hong Kong Metro Features: The Hong Kong MTR has the distinction of being one of the few subway systems in the world that actually turns a profit. It’s privately owned and uses real estate development along its tracks to increase income and ridership. It also introduced “Octopus cards” that allow people to not only pay their fares electronically, but buy stuff at convenience stores, supermarkets, restaurants and even parking meters. It’s estimated that 95 % of all adults in Hong Kong own an Octopus card .Shanghai Metro Features: Shanghai is the third city in China to build a metro system, and it has become the country’s largest in the 12 years since it opened. Shanghai Metro has 142 miles of track and plans to add another 180 miles within five years. By that point, it would be three times larger than Chicago “L”. The system carries about 2.18 million people a day.The London Metro Features: Londoners call their subway the Underground, even though 55 percent of it lies above ground. No matter when you’ve got the oldest mass-transit system in the world, you can call it anything you like. Trains started in1863 and they’ve been running ever since. Some 3 million people ride each day, every one of them re membering to “Mind the gap”.41. Which one can provide the riders some wonderful decorations at the stations?A. The Tokyo Metro and Toei LinesB. The Moscow MetroC. The London MetroD. The Hong Kong MTR42. ________ is done with the purpose of making money.A. The Tokyo Metro and Toei LinesB. The Moscow MetroC. The London MetroD. The Hong Kong MTR43. We can learn from the passage that Shanghai Metro ________.A. carries the most people each dayB. is the world’s largestC. may be larger than the Chicago “L” in the futureD. is the busiest in the world44. How many subways carry more than 5 million people per day?A. 2B. 3C. 4D. 5BArchaeology, 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 historiansuse paper evidence, such as letters, paintings and photographs, but archaeologists(考古学家)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 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—buy 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? It was because he was in a very watery environment, safe from 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”. His hands and fingernails suggested that he hadn’t done heavy manual work in this 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.45. Which language does the word “archaeology” come from?A. French.B. GreekC. Roman.D. German。

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choice marked A), B), C) andD). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on theAnswer Sheet with a single line through the centre.Passage OneStrange things happen to time when you travel, because the earth is divided into twenty four time zones, one hour apart. You can have days with more than twenty-four hours, and weeks with more or fewer than seven days.If you make a five-day trip across the Atlantic ocean, your ship enters a different time zone every day. As you enter each zone, the time changes one hour. Traveling west, you set your clock back; traveling east, you set it ahead. Each day of your trip has either twenty-five of twenty-three hours.If you travel by ship across the Pacific, you cross the international date line. By agreement, this is the point where a new day begins. When you cross the line, you change your calendar one full day, backward or forward. Traveling east, today becomes yesterday, traveling west, it is tomorrow!51. The difference in time between zones is _________ ．A) more than seven daysB) twenty-four hoursC) one hourD) seven days52.

If you are thinking of buying a dog, however, you should first decide what sort of companion you need and whether the dog is likely to be happy in the surroundings you can provide. Specialist advice is available to help you choose the most suitable breed of dog. But in part, the decisiondepends on common sense. Different dogs were originally developed to perform specific tasks. So, if you want a dog to protect you or your house, for example, you should choose a breed that has the right size and characteristicsYou must also be ready to devote a good deal of time to train the dog when it is young and give it the exercise it needs throughout its life, unless live in the country and can let it run freely. Dogs are demanding pets. Cats love the house and so are satisfactory with their place which is secure, but a dog is loyal to its master and consequently wants him to show proof of his affection.The best time to buy a baby dog is when it is between 6 and 8 weeks old so that it can transfer its affection from its mother to its master. If baby dogs have not established a relationship with the human being until they are over three months old, their strong relationship will always be with dogs. They are likely to be too shy when they are brought out into the world to become good pets.55. Which of the following is Not true according to the passage?A) Size and characteristics of the dogs should be considered too.B) It is common sense that is the most important when choosing a dog.C) You should decide what kind of dog you want.D) You can always get help from the specialists.56. What is mentioned as a consideration in buying a dog?A) The price of the dog.B) The color of the dog.C) Whether the dog will fit the environment.D) Whether the dog will get along with the other pets in the house.57. Why does the writer say a dog is a more demanding pet than a cat?A) It must be looked after carefully.B) It demands more food and space.C) It needs more love and care.D) It must be trained so that it won’t bite.58. Why is it advised to buy a baby dog under three months old?A) It’s easier to buy a baby dog under three months old.B) They are less likely to run away.C) They are less likely to be shy with human beings.D) It’s easier for them to form a relationship with their masters.Passage ThreeStudents who want to attend an American college or university must explain how they will pay for their education. They have to show that they will be able to pay for each year of study.Students have to consider not only the tuition, the cost of classes, but also meals and a place to live, known as room-and-board. They also need money for books , supplies ,social activities and other things.Educational advisers say foreign students should keep enough money in a local bank to pay for at least two months of spending. So how much will it cost every year to study at an American school? Generally speaking, the answer is: a lot. The University of Washington says foreign students are paying more than thirty-six thousand dollars this year. Its website says the Universityof Washington does not offer financial assistance to international students.This is generally true of American schools, especially at the undergraduate level. It means foreign students are faced with a heavy financial burden.The international application for the university includes a Statement of Financial Responsibility that must be signed. Students must also provide a bank letter or statement from within the past six months. And they have to name anyone who will help with payments. These people must send proof from a bank to show that they have the money.The government or employer may be able to help you pay all or some college costs. A good idea is to ask at least eighteen months before you want to start classes in the United States.Enough time should be ensured to go through procedures.59. Which statement is true according to the first paragraph?A) Foreign students in America can hardly support themselves.B) They should show that they are able to pay the first year of their study.C) Room-and-board refers to the expense on meals and accommodation.D) Students intending to attend an American college or university should explain who will payfor their education.60.

Chances are you will receive three different answers. Each person sees the same scene, but each perceives something different about XXX goes on in our minds. Of the three people who look out the window, one may say that he sees a policeman giving a motorist a ticket. Another may say that he sees a rush-hour traffic jam at the intersection. The third may tell you that he sees a woman trying to cross the street with four children in tow. For perception is the minds interpretation of what the senses-in this case our eyes-tell XXX psychologists today are working to try to determine just how a person experiences or perceives the world around him. Using a scientific approach, these psychologists set up experiments in which they can control all of the factors. By measuring and charting the results of many experiments, they are trying to find out what makes different people perceive totally different things about the same scene.1.

His mother and father were of Puritan(清教徒的）religion. They left England and moved to the English colony of Massachusetts in order to escape persecution(迫害）for their religion. In Boston, Franklin left school when he was ten years old and worked for his father for two years. Then he went to work on his brothers newspaper. He became the editor of this paper when he was sixteen. Because he wanted to be independent, he went to Philadelphia. There he bought his own newspaper. He worked hard and save his money. Any by the age 24 he was one of the most successful men in XXX 1732 Franklin published a book “POOR RICHARDS ALMANAC(历本）”. Most almanacs contained information for farmers, such as information about the days and weeks of the year and about the weather. To his almanac, Franklin added wise sayings, his observations about life, and some ofthese sayings are still famous today. For example, “Early to bed, early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.” and “Waste not, want not,” and “A penny saved is a penny earned.”6. Benjamin Franklin was A .A. English originB.

According to the study, babies benefit by being with their fellow infants daily. Whereas a baby might show fear of an adult stranger, he is likely to smile and reach out for an unfamiliar infant. By the time babies are one year old, they have begun to form friendships of a sort. The above findings, based on observation of 100 babies aged three months to three years,might prove interesting to working parents who must find day care for their babies. Family care in a private home, with several babies together, is probably the ideal way to care for babies under three. Dr. Benjamin Spock, well-known pediatrician (儿科医生) and author of books about bXbies, supports the idea. He says that family day care is better in theory than hiring a housekeeper or a bXbysitter.XXX would be a goo。

Teenagers and adults wear them to look fashionable (时髦). Before the 1950’s, blue jeans were popular only in the West and the Southwest. Today almost everyone wears them. Levi Strauss and Company makes about one-third of all the jeans in the United States and about one-seventh of those in other countries. In fact, for a long time people used the word Levi’s as a synonym（同义词）for blue jeans. That’s because Levi’s were the first jeans ever made. Their inventor was a German immigrant(移民) named Levi Strauss. Levi Strauss left Germany in 1848, when he was a young man. He came to New York City to be near his two brothers. For two years, he was a door-to-door salesman. He worked hard, but he didn’t make much money. Then like many other Easterners, he decided to go to San Francisco. When Levi went West, he brought some canvas ( a very strong cloth) with him. He wanted to sell it to the gold miners for making tents. His canvas was the wrong kind for tents, but Levi found another use for it. A miner told Levi that he needed a strong pair of pants because digging for goldwas hard work. When Levi heard that, he made him a pair of canvas pants. The miner paid Levi $6 in gold dust and told the others about “those pants of Levi’s”. Levi quickly sold a lot of pants, but he ran out of canvas. He wrote to his bothers in New York and told them to send more. Instead, they sent him some heavy cotton cloth called denim. Much of this kind of cloth came from Genes (the French name for the city of Genoa, Italy). Levi changed the spelling of Genes to jeans. He also dyed (染) the denim blue. He called his new pants blue jeans.6. According to the passage, blue jeans didn’t become popular across the United States until after ________ . DA. the mid-17th centuryB. the mid-18th centuryC. the mid-19th centuryD. the mid-20th century7. The purpose of Levi Strauss’ moving from Germany to the U.S. was to ________. AA. live near his two brothers in New YorkB. make money as a door-to-door salesmanC. find gold in California with other EasternersD. invent and sell blue jeans to miners8. Which language is the word “jeans” from ? BA. EnglishB. FrenchC. GermanD. Italian9. Which of the following statements is NOT true? CA. Levi Strauss made the first jeans for a Western gold miner.B. Levi Strauss went West because he was unsuccessful in New York.C. Levi Strauss began his business career as a gold miner.D. Levi Strauss was the first in the world to make jeans.10. Blue jeans are _______ . AA. made of denim instead of canvasB. the strong pants only for hard work like gold-miningC. well-loved by a limited number of people at a certain ageD. the fashionable clothing invented by Levi and his brothersPassage 3 The U.S. bought Alaska from Russia about 100years ago. The U. S. paid less than two cents an acre. One Alaska island is only two miles from a Russian island. The nearest state is Washington, 500 miles away. Alaska is more than twice as big as Texas. It has many different kinds of weather. Around Fairbanks the temperature has gone as low as 70 below zero Fahrenheit. It has also gone as high as 100 above zero Fahrenheit. Alaska has a longer coastline than all the other states together. The ocean water is full of sea life. Alaska’s fish catch is one of the biggest of all the stat es. Most of Alaska’s land is still owned by the U.S. government---not by people or businesses. Alaska is the biggest state, but it has the fewest people. Towns are far apart. Long roads cost a lot to build in such wild country. So there aren’t very many r oads. Many people use planes to travel in the state. Others travel in boats along the coast.

stuffed-up nose（塞鼻子）,and tiredness.Colds are caused by viruses（病毒），but scientists cannot explain the exact cause.Over dozens of years,scientists have tried to do different experiments to find the cure.Their findings are university the same———there is no cure.Many people,however believe that they know the cause of and cures for the common cold.For example,they believe that it is possible to get a cold if we getchilled,if we get extra tired,or if we are too close to a person with a cold.In other words,if we want to prevent catching cold,we should stay warm and dry,we should avoid getting too tired,and we should not be in close contact with people who have colds.Meanwhile,there are probably hundreds of“cures”thoughout the world for the common cold.For example,the following suggestions are popular in quite a number of societies:(1)drink plenty of water,（2）get extra rest;（3）take a lot of vitamins（维生素）；（4）take aspirin（阿司匹林）；（5）keep warm，and so on..Each year people spend a lot of money on cold medicines---pills,liquids，lozenges（含片）.But these medicines do not cure colds，they can only relieve cold symptoms.In other words,they make us feel better.Although our human beings cannot cure colds,we have desired to improve our health.Perhaps one day we can find out the ways of curing the common colds.As an ordinary person.we do not know whether the day to find the cure is close to us or not.46.The passage is mainly about.A.looking for the cause of the common coldB.introducing some cures for the common coldC.some general knowledge about the common coldD.new medicines for curing The

restD.Put on as many clothes as possible50.Which of the following is TRUE about the common cold?A.There are no medicines that can cure colds.B.There are hundreds of symptoms of the common cold.C.Many people know what causes the common cold.D.Scientists are close to finding a cure for colds.Questions51to55are based on the following passage:with a new guidebook saying you need to practice the skills needed to getfit,withBeing happy is just like being fit,this emotion,a little every day,and remain happy even during the darkest time.“Road-testing Happiness:How to be Happier”by Sophie is a she-help book.“Being happy is something you need to focus on,it doesn’t come as a matter of course.”Scott said.“you always need to make an effort,even if you reach the point of saying,you still need to keep focuing and working on the things that made you happy.”Scott also said the book was born out of her interest in the human’s mind as well as how difficult she found it to cope after her mother died of cancer two years ago.don’’t tell the fact that you can be “I was always interested in psychology,but a lot of happiness books donexpectations.””She says,“In the book,I happy if your life isnisn’’t going according to plan.The keys is managing expectations.focused on what were the things most likely to make people happy,the ones with the most scientific research.”And before you start thinking that being happy is yet another task and then feel guilty when you don’t do it,Scott said the road to a positive outlook begins with very easy,small steps.“Women today feel overloaded(超负荷)：they’ve got to be thin，got to have a career，got to have a perfect relationship and the last thing you need is to be thinking you’ve got to be happy all the time.”she said.But it is important to improve your quality of life.Stop rushing around and filling each moment of the day with things to do,and then sit down and think about your life and how you’re feeling.The things I got out of this were not things that take a lot of effort:feeling more grateful for the things I’ve got;modifying my reaction to situations and people.It’s about changing small habits,more tinkering around the edges instead of overhauling your life.”51.By saying“being happy is just like being fit”,the author really means.A.people should practice how to remain happyB.people should spend more time to work outC.keeping happy is the key to continue our lifeD.it’s difficult for people to keep happy all the time52.Why is Scott unsatisfied with the happiness book written by other writers？A.They are not based on psychological analysisB.There is a lack of scientific facts in these booksC.He wants to show his book is the greatest oneD.They haven’t offered readers completed solutions53.What should we do if we want to remain to be happy in Sott’s opinion?A.Force ourselves to burst into laughter every timeB．Lower our expectations for ourselves sometimesC.Read more books about out psychological activitiesD.Think that happiness is a very important task to do54.In the last paragraph,Scott suggests that.A．people should sit down and think of their childhoodB.people shouldn’t work so hard and be so overloadedC.people should chang their attitudes towards daily lifeD.people should take their quality of life for granted55.Which of the following can best reflect Scott’s opinion？A．Happiness lies in our contentmentB.Happiness originates from our successC.A smile always makes a young manughing can make you become fatQuestion56to60are based on the following passageFor a long time women with HIV（艾滋病病毒）were ignored because the focus was totally on HIV men.The gay community（同性恋社区）was very much in sight and vocal（呼声高的）and successfully got support for its cause.Now we are rapidly approaching the point where about one half of all AIDS cases in the world are women.But no one is taking this dangerously high level of infection(感染)among women seriously enough. Women usually have a worse time dealing with HIV than men do.In most cases,the woman is taking care of children as well as her sick partner.She may not even have time to take care of herself.The HIV-positive woman ends up shouldering the family as well as her own personal problems.Men,however,are usually the ones who have insurance,income and access to doctors.They get care.Women often do not.The discrimination(歧视)against HIV-positive women is simply terrible.They are likely to be more inactive than men at home and workplace because too many people think that women are the cause of the disease.Thiscourse,there’’s social is not at all true.They get it from men.They don’t just simply have HIV.Of course,there discriminatation against all people with HIV,then,are scared that other people will know they arre HIV-positive and that they will,therefore be discriminated against.For example,it’s very difficult for people with HIV to travel.They are not allowed to enter many countries,including the United States，China and Russia.The biggest difficulty an HIV-positive woman must face is isolation（孤独）.Once a woman knows she’s HIV-positive,she lives in fear that other people will find out.She’s so frightened that she will go into hiding, into an isolated place by herself.It’s not and all uncommon to meet a woman who has been HIV-positive for nearly10years and has never told anyone,except her doctor.And the resulting stress is enough to make her sick.But HIV-positive women who get support,who can discuss their trouble and then do something about it —whether that means taking better care of themselves or going to the United Nations to struggle for their right—are likely to live longer.Active women don’t die out of shame in a corrner.This happens to too many HIV-positive women.56.Women with HIV were ignored for a long time because.A.they didn’t become infected with HIV very oftenB.they didn’t often ask people to support their causeC.the public focused on men who were HIV positiveD.the public thought women could take care of themselves57.Why do women have more trouble with HIV than men do？A．Women are infected more often than menB.Women with AIDS cannot enter some countriesC.Women are not as vocal as men with HIV areD.Women do not take care of themselves as well58.Why are women have more trouble with HIV than men do?A.They are not active at home and don’t workB.Men don’t like women who are HIV positiveC.They are much weaker than men with HIVD.People think they are the cause of the disease59.The greatest difficulty that HIV-positive women face is.ck of moneyB.pain of the diseaseC.unemploymentD.keeping to themselves60.What should a women with AIDS keep from doing？A.Getting support from others with AIDSB.Discussing their trouble with their doctors onlyC.Struggling for their rights as people with AIDSD.Making other people frightened of themSection B Short Answer Questions(15points,3for each)Directions:Answer each of the questions in less than10words.Questions61to65are based on the following passage:How to Talk Anyone,Anytime,AnywhereI never wanted to be anything but a broadcaster,a talker.And for40years,I’ve been doing just that.To me,the ability to talk well is one of the greatest pleasures in life and can bring with it some of life’s greatest rewards.I’m not saying it’s always easy.But the more you work at it,the easier it will be.To get you started，here are my four basis rules for learning how to talk to anyone,anytime,anywhere:Attitude CountsAfter the failure in Miami,I made a commitment to keep talking even when it might not be comfortable to work at it.The right attitude———the will to talk———is critical to becoming a better talker.I think one reason I’ve had a certain amount of success in broadcasting is that the audience can see I love what I’m doing.You can’t pretend that.Broaden Your HorizonsThe best conversationalists（对话者）are able to talk about issues and experiences beyond their own daily lives.You can expand your world through travel,but you can also do it without leaving your own backyard. Exchanging ideas with people who have backgrounds different from your conversational skills and your thinking.Keep It LightOne of my most important rules of conversation is never to stay too serious for too long.Similarly,a key quality I look for in a potential guest is a sense of humor.If the guest is not afraid of making fun of himself/herself,it is most appealing to the audience.Be GenuineAnybody I’ve ever talked to for more than a few minutes knowns at least two things about me:I’m from Brooklyn,New York,and I’m Jewish(犹太人).That’s because I’m deeply proud of both.You should be as open and honest with your conversational partners as you’d want them to be with you,willing to reveal what your background is and what your likes and dislikes are.That’s part of the give-and-take of conversation,part of getting to know people.Whether you‘re talking to one person or a million,the rules are the same:it’s all about making a connection.If you follow all these rules given in the passage,you can become a master of talk.61.The author regards the ability to as one of the greatest pleasures in life.62.The passage gives four basic rules for learning how to talk to.63.The author thinks the right attitude,,is critical to becoming a better talker.64.Exchanging ideas with people of different backgrounds will help improve ourand our thinking.65.If we follow all these rules given in the passag,we will certainly become.IV.Translation(20points,4for each)Directions:In this part,there are five items which you are required to translate into Chinese,Each item consists of one or two entences.You can refer back to the passages so asthese sentences are all taken from the reading passages you have just read.to identify their meanings in the context.66.In other words,if we want to prevent catching cold,we should stay warm and dry,we should aviod getting too tired,and we should not be in close contact with people who have colds.67.Being happy is just like being fit，with a new guidebook saying you need to practice the skills needed to get this emotion,a little every day,and remain happy even during the darkest time.68.I was always interested in psychology,but a lot of happiness books don’t tell the fact that you can be happy if your life isn’t going according to plan.The key is managing expectations.69.Of course,there’s social discrimination against all people with HIV.People with HIV,then，are scared that other people will know they are HIV-positive and that they will,therefore,be discriminated against.70.But HIV-positive women who get support,who can discuss their trouble and then do something about it———whether that means taking better care of themselves or going to the United Nations to struggle for their right ——are likely to live longer.V.Writing(25points)Directions:For this part you are to write a letter.Suppose you were Xiao Li.Write a lerrer to Xiao Wang,a schoolmate of yours who is going to xisit you during the holiday.You should write at least100words according to the suggestions given below in Chinese.(根据下面的两点中文提示,写一封不少于100个英文单词的书信)1.表示欢迎。
