A few years ago it was common to speak of a generation gap between young people and their elders. Parents said that children did not respect and listen to them, while children said that their parents did not understand them at all. What had gone wrong? Why had the generation gap suddenly appeared? Actually, the generation gap has been around for a long time. Many people argue that it is built into every part of our society.

If you do not use your arms or your legs for some time, they become weak; when you start using them again, they slowly become strong again. Everybody knows this, and nobody would think of questioning this fact. Yet there are many people who do not seem to know that the memory works in the same way. When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by exercising it regularly, either consciously or unconsciously. When someone else says that his memory is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough opportunity to become strong. The position is exactly the same as that of two persons, one of whom exercises his arms and legs by playing tennis, while the other sits in a chair or a motorcar all day.

Each passage is followed by some questions. 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. Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:Philanthropy is a way that people and organizations show concern for others or work to improve the world. Approximately 72 percent of Americans donate to charity (慈善机构), and 51 percent do volunteer work. About 2 millions not-for-profit organizations and charities in the United States today receive this help.There are three types of philanthropists: individuals, foundations, and private corporations. Individuals give money or volunteer their time to support causes that are important to them. Foundations are organizations started by very wealthy individuals. Their “business” is not to make a profit but to give money away to not-for-profits.Private corporations may also use a portion of their business profits to make donations, or they may give away their products or services free of charge. However, foundations and corporations are responsible for only 20 percent of charitable donations; 80 percent comes from individuals.What makes people and institutions give away their time and money? One reason is altruism, the unselfish desire to help other people and make the world a better place. Other reasons involve personal interest. Under US tax law, an individual or business does not have to pay income tax on money that is donated to charity. For extremely wealthy individuals and corporations, this can mean millions of dollars they do not have to pay in taxes to the government. In addition to tax benefits, donors often receive favorable publicity for making donations, and they have an opportunity to influence the world around them.31. What is the main idea of the first paragraph?A. Philanthropy has become an accepted American custom.B. Philanthropy has made the US a great influence in the world.C. More and more organizations rely on philanthropy nowadays.D. Religion plays an important role in the philanthropy in the US.32. Which of the following is NOT characteristic of philanthropists?A. To donate money.B. To do volunteer work.C. To pay income tax.D. To provide free services.33. What is the main source of donations in the United States?A. Foundations.B. Individuals.C. The government.D. Private corporations.34. How are foundations different from private corporations in the aspect of philanthropy?A. They don’t make a profit.B. They receive more publicity.C. They are set up by very rich individuals.D. They don’t donate money to individuals.35. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. Individuals tend to donate money to become famous.B. Foundations gain more power because of philanthropy.C. Some people donate money for practical purposes.D. The US tax law discourages people from donating money.Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:A lot of people think that if they put off the decision of whether they want to stay in or leave their relationships, the problems they are having will magically somehow heal themselves or disappear. They won’t.If you don’t invest some quality time now in ta king a true, honest and truthful look at the state of your relationship, you could stay stuck in this place of indecision for a very long time. Many people waste so much precious time when they could be experiencing an incredible relationship filled with love, passion and joy, either in their current relationship or one that is more of what they want. We encourage you to take an honest look at your situation and feel how much pain you’ve been feeling about this relationship. If having a great relationship i s important to you, you need to decide that you’re not willing to live without the love, passion, intimacy, and tenderness. You have to take the first step to create the kind of relationship and love you want in your life.We’re not suggesting that you sho uld leave your current relationship or marriage and head out looking for the new love of your life. That’s your decision and one that should only be made after some careful insight and thinking.

Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements with no more than 10 words. Be sure to write your answers on Answer Sheet (2).German careers or jobs fall into several categories. First, there are positions that require strong ability in German with a company in Germany, Austria or Switzerland. This category may also include a job requiring good German and/or bilingual (双语的) skills within a company doing business in the US, Canada, Mexico or elsewhere. Secondly, there are jobs that can be done in English in German Europe. Then there are German companies abroad.Most minor and many major positions are filled by recruiting German, Austrian or Swiss nationals. If you are already in German Europe, you may have a better chance of finding a job. In any case, it is best if your company can handle all the formalities involved when a foreign national takes a job in Germany. There are also relocation services that can help with this if you don’t have any ideas yourself.The German unemployment rate has remained at a fairly high level over the last decade. It is almost impossible for a non-German to get a job in Germany unless she/he can prove that it can’t be done by a German national. In certain fields, such as computer science or information systems, “green card” foreign workers have been imported, but this practice is still uncommon. The reality of searching for and finding a suitable position in German Europe or with a German firm means two main things: knowledge and planning. Too many times, job seekers have unrealistic expectations. Often they overestimate their language skills and underestimate the level of competition. Anotherdanger is ignoring culture shock. That’s why we also offer links to culture-related sites.For getting most German jobs, it is your ability in a field—computers, teaching, advertising, etc.—rather than your German skills that will be the biggest factor in a successful search. But all other things being equal between you and another candidate, it is the person with the best language skills who usually gets the job.41. What is the requirement of the job within a company doing business in the US,Canada, Mexico or elsewhere included in the first category?42. What might the company do for the benefit of a foreign employee?43. What seems to be “hot” fields if you are to find a job in German?44. What is the reason for the author to offer links to culture-related sites?45. What is more important to get most German jobs according to the passage?Part III Vocabulary and Structure (25 marks)Section A (15 marks, 0.5 mark each)Directions: There are 30 incomplete sentences in this part.

So one evening he made a big bundle of them.There were so many furs that when they were packed tightly and tied together they made a bundle almost as big as Pa.(4)Very early one morning Pa strapped the bundle of furs on his shoulders,and started to walk to town.There were so many furs to carry that he could not take his gun.(5)Ma was worried,but Pa said that by starting before sun-up and walking very fast all day he could get home again before dark.(6)The nearest town was far ura and Mary had never seen a town.They had never seen astore.They had never seen even two houses standing together.But they knew that in a town there were many houses,and a store full of candy and calico and other wonderful things—powder,and shot,and salt,and store sugar.(7)They knew that Pa would trade his furs to the storekeeper for beautiful things from town,and all day they were expecting the presents he would bring them.When the sun sank low above the treetops and no more drops fell from the tips of the icicles they began to watch eagerly for Pa. (8)The sun sank out of sight,the woods grew dark,and he did not come.Ma started supper and set the table,but he did not come.It was time to do the chores,and still he had not come.(9)Ma said that Laura might come with her while she milked the ura could carry the lantern.(10)So Laura put on her coat and Ma buttoned it up.And Laura put her hands into her red mittens that hung by a red yarn string around her neck,while Ma lighted the candle in the lantern.(11)Laura was proud to be helping Ma with the milking,and she carried the lantern very carefully.Its sides were of tin,with places cut

clerk in San Francisco,and an expert in all the details of stock traffic.I was alone in the world,and had nothing to depend upon but my wits and a clean reputation;but these were setting my feet in the road to eventual fortune,and I was content with the prospect.My time was my own after the afternoon board,Saturdays,and I was accustomed to put it in on a little sail-boat on the bay.One day I ventured too far,and was carried out to sea.Just at nightfall,when hope was about gone,I was picked up by a small brig which was bound for London.It was a long and stormy voyage,and they made me work my passage without pay,as a common sailor.When I stepped ashore in London my clothes were ragged and shabby, and I had only a dollar in my pocket.This money fed and sheltered me twenty-four hours.During the next twenty-four I went without food and shelter.(2)About ten o’clock on the following morning,seedy and hungry,I was dragging myself alone Portland Place,when a child that was passing,towed by a nurse-maid,tossed a luscious big pear—minus one bite—into the gutter.I stopped,of course,and fastened my desiring eye on the muddy treasure.My mouth watered for it,my stomach craved it,my whole being begged for it.But every time I made a move to get it some passing eye detected my purpose,and of course I straightened up then,and looked indifferent,and pretended that I hadn’t been thinking about the pear at all.This same thing kept happening and happening,and I couldn’t get the pear.(3)I was just getting desperate enough to brave all the shame,and to seize it,when a window behind me was raised,and a gentleman spoke out of it,saying:“Step in here,please.”(4)I was admitted by a gorgeous flunkey,and shown into a sumptuous room where a couple of elderly gentlemen were sitting.They sent away the servant,and made me sit down.They had just finished their breakfast,and the sight of the remains of it almost overpowered me.I could hardly keep my wits together in the presence of that food,but as I was not asked to sample it,I had to bear my trouble as best I could.(5)Now,something had been happening there a little before,which I did not know anything about until a good many days afterwards,but I will tell you about it now.Those two old brothers had been having a pretty hot argument a couple of days before,and had ended by agreeing to decide it by a bet,which is the English way of settling everything.(6)You will remember that the Bank of England once issued two notes of a million pounds each,to be used for a special purpose connected with some public transaction with a foreign country.For some reason or other only one of these had been used and canceled;the other still lay in the vaults of the Bank.Well,the brothers,chatting along,happened to get to wondering what might be the fate of a perfectly honest and intelligent stranger who should be turned adrift in London without a friend,and with no money but that million-pound bank-note,and no way to account for his being in possession of it.Brother A said he would starve to death;Brother B said he wouldn’t.Brother A said he couldn’t offer it at a bank or anywhere else,because he would be arrested on the spot.So they went on disputing till Brother B said he would bet twenty thousand pounds that the man would live thirty days,anyway,on that million,and keep out of jail,too.Brother A took him up.Brother B went down to the Bank and bought that note.Then he dictated a letter,which one of his clerks wrote out in a beautiful round hand,and then the two brothers sat at the window a whole day watching for the right man to give it to.(7)I finally became the pick of them.（20.0分）13.2分(1)[单选题]（6.6分）20.In Para.1,the phrase“set my feet”probably means_______.A、put me asideB、prepare meC、let me walkD、start my journey正确答案：B(2)[单选题]（6.6分）21.It can be concluded from Para.2that________.A、the man wanted to maintain dignity though starvedB、the man could not get a proper chance to eat the pearC、the man did not really want the pear since it was dirtyD、it was very difficult for the man to get the pear正确答案：A(3)[单选题]（6.8分）pared with Brother A,Brother B was more________towards the

It was not a sudden and violent overturning of the political and social framework, such as later occurred in France and Russia, when both were already independent nations. Significant changes were ushered in, but they were not breathtaking. What happened was accelerated evolution rather than outright revolution. During the conflict itself people went on working and praying, marrying and playing. Most of them were not seriously disturbed by the actual fighting, and many of the more isolated communities scarcely knew that a war was on.America ’s War of independence heralded the birth of three modern nations. One was Canada, which received its first large influx (涌入) of English-speaking population from the thousands of loyalists who fled there from the United States. Another was Australia, which became a penal colony now that America was no longer available for prisoners and debtors. The thirdPart II. Reading Comprehension (40%)newcomer----the United States-based itself squarely on republican principles.Yet even the political overturn was not so revolutionary as one might suppose. In some states, notable Connecticut and Rhode Island, the war largely ratified (批准，认可) a colonial self-rule already existing. British officials, everywhere ousted (驱逐), were replaced by a homegrown governing class, which promptly sought a local substitute for king and Parliament.Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage:31．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A) The United States: An isolated CommunityB) Breathtaking Events during the American RevolutionC) Canada and the American war of IndependenceD) The American Revolution: Evolution Not Revolution32. In the first paragraph, what does the author suggest about the French and RussianRevolutions?A) They were explosive and abrupt.B) They were ineffective.C) They involved only those people living in urban areas.D) They led to the release of all political prisoners. 33. In line 7 what does the author mean by “people went on working and praying, marrying and playing”? A) More people got married than divorced.B) The war created new jobs.C) Life went on as usual.

It can be inferred from the passage that the loyalists who escaped to Canada were _____.A) Russian B) French C) British D) AustralianPassage TwoSome of the most beautiful caves are formed in glaciers (冰川). Streams of melting ice and snow tunnel through the glaciers the same way that water from a faucet melts its way through an ice cube. Water from the surface drips down through cracks, hollowing out the tunnels and decorating the caves with crystal icicles. The smooth walls and floors are so glasslike that pebbles frozen six feet deep can easily be seen. Crystal-clear icicles draping from the ceilings flash blue-green, as though they were carved from precious jewels instead of ice. Although most of the cave ice in the United States is found in lava caves, there are a number of limestone ice caves as well. Some people believe that this ice was formed thousands of years ago, when temperatures were much colder than they are today. Others think that the cave ice broke off from the ancient glaciers as they spread over the country. Today many cave scientists have another idea. They believe that cold water sinks down through cracks into these caves until the temperature is chilly enough to freeze the water that seeps (渗入) in. The ice that forms keep the cave cool, and that helps build up still more ice. Many caves become covered with so much ice that no one knows just how thick it is. In some, such as Crystal Falls Cave in Idaho, there are frozen rivers and even 装 订 线 内 不 要 答 题frozen waterfalls. Native Americans and early settlers used to store food in these underground refrigerators and chip out blocks of ice to melt for drinking water.Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage:36．What does the passage mainly discuss?A)Characteristics of glaciers.B)Uses for ice caves.C)The origin of cave ice.]D)Where glaciers can be found.37. According to many of today’s cave scientists, what causes ice to build up in caves?A)Rivers and waterfalls supply water.B)Icicles accumulate on the ceilings.C)Cave ice breaks off glaciers.D)Cold water seeps in and freezes.38. It can be inferred from the passage that the early settlers in the Unites States appreciated theice caves for their ______.A) practicality B) beautiful interiorsC) historical value D) precious gems39. The author compares icicles to precious jewels based on which of the following?A) Appearance. B) Cost.C) Method of formation. D) Availability.40. Where is most of the cave ice in the United States found?A) In lava caves. B) In ancient glaciers.C) On cave ceilings. D) In cave cracks.Passage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passages:With the Switzerland-based World Wildlife Fund(WWF), China is making a concerned and dedicated effort to save the endangered pandas. The results, officials here in Chengdu indicate, are mixed but encouraging.A clear disappointment is the failure to breed pandas in captivity, necessary if their decreasing numbers are to be replaced. Another failure has been the incapability to find a natural, readily available food to replace the arrow bamboo.Despite these failures, success has come on two fronts. One achievement has been the physical rescue effort. Some pandas have been kept alive by salting the mountains with tons of cooked meat, which pandas will eat as a substitute for bamboo, and by the planting of new bamboo in isolated areas. Animals in some Sichuan areas have been rescued by local peasants and given emergency treatment by animal doctors.A second achievement is a massive fund-raising effort. Publicity about the pandas’ plight has resulted in a new $100,000 emergency allocation by the WWF and independent fund dries both in China and abroad.In spite of this support, there have been conflicts in the panda relief program. One important problem is the difficulty Peking is having balancing the recommendations of environmentalists with China’s ambitious goal of agricultural and industrial modernization.Wolong is but one example of this difficulty. This 494,000-acre preserve was declared aprotected area in 1975. Yet 1,800 people, mostly Tibetans, still live in the preserve, logging trunks still roll down the narrow mountain roads, and blasting work still goes on at the site of a new 160,000-kilowatt hydroelectric plant just six miles away.This all means that the panda’s fight for survival will not be an easy one, even with the concerted effort of man. For in the end, even if they can survive the dangers of the wild, they must still contend with man.41. Efforts to save the endangered pandas _________.A)have met with setbacks but brought hopeB)have proven highly successfulC)have failed completelyD)have received no response from the scientists42. Which of the following threatens pandas’ survival in the Wolong preserve?A)Local population.B)Economic development.C)Unfavorable environment.D)All of the above.43. All of the following help prevent the decline of the panda population EXCEPT__________.A)the large-scale fund-raising drivesB)the reproduction of panda offspring during captivityC)the rescue of the injured and the sickD)the cultivation of new bamboo forests44. It can be inferred from the passage that _____.A)Switzerland is the only country that contributes in the panda relief programB)it is too late to rescue the endangered pandasC)the survival of pandas is an international concernD)the lovely pandas will soon die out45. The tone of the author’s conclusion concerning pandas’ survival is _______.A) worried B) optimistic C) angry D) impersonalPassage FourWe use emotive language to express our own attitudes and feelings. We also direct emotive language at other people to persuade them to believe as we do or to do, as we want them to do; and, of course, other people direct emotive language at us to get us to believe or to do what they want.We are subjected to a constant stream of persuasion, day in, and day out, at home and in school, on the radio and on television. It comes from parents and teachers, from preachers and politicians, form editors and commentators, but most of all, of course, from advertisers. Most of this persuasion is expressed in emotive language and is intended to appeal to our feelings rather than to be weighted up by our powers of reasoning.We should look at the motives behind all this persuasion. Why do they want to persuade us? What do they want us to do? We are not thinking very clearly unless we try to see through the veil of words and realize something of the speakers’ purpose.An appeal to motion is in itself neither good nor bad. Our emotions exist and they are part of our personality. On some occasions people appeal to our emotions on the highest levels and fromthe best of motives. A case in point is Churchill ’s wartime speeches: whatever people thought of Churchill as a politician, they were united behind him when he spoke as a national leader in those dark days their feelings responded to his call for resolution and unity.It is a characteristic of social groups that the members have a feeling of personal attachment to the group--- to the family in earliest childhood and extending later to the school, the team, the church, the nation, in patterns that vary from time to time. Hence a speaker from our group will find in us feelings to which he can readily and genuinely appeal, whether our reaction is favorable or not. We are at least open to the appeal and we appreciate the content in which it is made. Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:46. The passage discusses the emotive language, whose major functions are to ______.A) show one ’s feelings and appeal to these of othersB) make others trust us and respond to our feelingC) extend our powers of reasoning and carry out a purposeD) advertise and produce the wanted social effects47. The source from which emotive language flows upon us in its greatest amount is _____.A) the religious circles B) the academic lectureC) the mass media D) the advertising business48. The third paragraph of this passage suggests that we __________.A) have to carefully use our emotive languageB) need to judge whether a persuasion is made for good or badC) should keep a cool head when subjected to different kinds of persuasionsD) should avoid being easily seen through by and appeal form others49. Churchill is mentioned in the passage as _______.A) a good example of the way of weighting up persuasion by reasoningB) a famous leader who brought out people ’s best feelingsC) a positive example of appealing to people ’s emotionD) a known politician who was good at lecturing50. From the passage we can get that a persuasive speaker must ________.A) find out what group his audience is attached toB) differentiate his speech patterns from time to timeC) be aware of the way of adapting his speaking way to the needs of the audienceD) know whether the listeners are favorable to his opinion or not51. The shy girl felt ____ and uncomfortable when she could not answer her teacher ’s questions.A. amazedB. awkwardC. curiousD. amused52.

Even today, the other planets are still too far away for astronauts to fly to. So, while rockets and robots can go to other planets, manned flights have to stay closer to home. Therefore, manned space programs have turned their attention to solving problems related to living and working in space.Currently, NASA's (US National Aeronautics and Space Administration) manned space exploration program focuses on the space shuttle program. NASA now operates three space shuttles, Discovery, Atlantis, and Endeavor. Unfortunately, two of NASA's shuttles, Challenger and Columbia, were lost through accidents.Seven astronauts died in each accident. The program completed 135 missions when the program ended with the successful landing at the Kennedy Space Center on July 21, 2011. These missions have included putting satellites into orbit, photographing the earth, studying space, conducting experiments related to working in space, and connecting with various manned space station in orbit.Throughout the short history of the exploration of space, several space stations have been put into orbit. The first manned space station was the Soviet station Salyut 1, put into orbit in 1971. Later, in 1986, the Soviet Union launched the Mir space station. Mir stayed in orbit until March 23, 2001. Over that time, 104 astronauts visited the station to stay for various lengths of time. The person who has spent the longest in space so far is Russian astronaut Valeri Polyakov. Working as the doctor aboard the station, he lived on Mir for 438 days without returning to earth. In total, Polyakov worked aboard Mir for 678 days before retiring.Today, astronauts from around the world are working together to complete the International Space Station (ISS). The construction began in 1998, and the US Orbital Segment was completed in 2011. Operations are expected to continue until at least 2020. In the long run, it is hoped that the ISS will be a place where people can live and work all year round.11. Why can't astronauts travel to other planets now?A. Because there are not enough space shuttles.B. Because there have been too many rocket accidents.C. Because the journey would take too long for human.D. Because there are too many problems here on Earth.12. What is the fact of NASA's manned space exploration program?A. Discovery, Atlantis, and Endeavor were lost through accidents.B. Challenger and Columbia are the current space shuttles.C. Seven astronauts died in accidents.D. NASA had completed 135 missions by July 21, 2011.13. What is TRUE about Valeri Polyakov?A. He has spent more time in space than anyone else.B. He stayed aboard Mir for 678 days at one time.C. He is still an astronaut though he is retired.D. He often helped the doctor at the Mir space station.14. What is TRUE about the International Space Station?A. It is being built by the United States alone.B. It will be launched into space in 2011.C. It was completed in 1998.D. It will eventually have people living and working there.15. What is the best title for this passage?A. Valeri Polyakov - An Amazing AstronautB. The Past and Future of Space TravelC. Space Cities of the FutureD. Living and Working on the International Space StationKey: CDADBQuestions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage or dialog.They're still kids, and although there's a lot that the experts don't yet know about them, one thing they do agree on is that what kids use and expect from their world has changed rapidly. And it's all because of technology.To the psychologists, sociologists, and generational and media experts who study them, their digital gear sets this new group apart, even from their tech-savvy (懂技术的) Millennial elders. They want to be constantly connected and available in a way even their older siblings don’t quite get. These differences may appear slight, but they signal an all-encompassing sensibility that some say marks the dawning of a new generation.The contrast between Millennials and this younger group was so evident to psychologist Larry Rosen of California State University that he has declared the birth of a new generation in a new book, rewired: Understanding the ingeneration and the Way They Learn, out next month. Rosen says the tech-dominated life experience of those born since the early 1990s is so different from the Millennials he wrote about in his 2007 book, Me, Myspace and I: Parenting the Net Generation, that they warrant the distinction of a new generation, which he has dubbed the "ingeneration"."The technology is the easiest way to see it, but it's also a mind-set, and the mind-set goes with the little 'i', which I'm talking to stand for 'individualized'," Rosen says. "Everything is defined and individualized to 'me'. My music choices are defined to 'me'. What I watch on TV any instant is defined to 'me'. " He says the iGeneration includes today's teens and middle-school years, but it's too soon to tell about elementary-school ages and younger.Rosen says the iGeneration believes anything is possible. "If they can think of it, somebody probably has or will invent it," he says. "They expect innovation."They have high expectations that whatever they want or can use "will be able to be tailored to their own needs and wishes and desires."Rosen says portability is key. They are inseparable from their wireless devices, which allow them to text as well as talk, so they can be constantly connected-even in class, where cellphones are supposedly banned.Many researchers are trying to determine whether technology somehow causes the brains of young people to be wired differently. "They should be distracted and should perform more poorly than they do," Rosen says. "But findings show teens survive distractions much better than we would predict by their age and their brain development. "Because these kids are more immersed and at younger ages, Rosen says, the educational system has to change significantly."The growth curve on the use of technology with children is exponential(指数的), and we run the risk of being out of step with this generation as far as how they learn and how they think," Rosen says.16. Compared with their Millennial elders, the iGeneration kids ______A. communicate with others by high-tech methods continuallyB. prefer to live a virtual life than a real oneC. are equipped with more modem digital techniquesD. know more on technology than their elders17. Why did Larry Rosen name the new generation as iGeneration?A. Because this generation is featured by the use of personal high-tech devices.B. Because this generation stresses on an individualized style of life.C. Because it is the author himself who has discovered the new generation.D. Because it's a mind-set generation instead of an age-set one.18. Which of the following is true about the iGeneration according to Rosen?A. This generation is crazy about inventing and creating new things.B. Everything must be adapted to the peculiar need of the generation.C. This generation catches up with the development of technology.D. High-tech such as wireless devices goes with the generation.19. Rosen's findings suggest that technology ______A. has an obvious effect on the function of iGeneration's brain developmentB. has greatly affected the iGeneration's behaviors and academic performanceC. has no significantly negative effect on iGeneration's mental and intellectual developmentD. has caused distraction problems on iGeneration which affect their daily performance20. According to the passage, education has to ______A. adapt its system to the need of the new generationB. use more technologies to cater for the iGenerationC. risk its system to certain extent for the iGenerationD. be conducted online for iGeneration's individualized needKey:16.

大学英语读写译（三）期末测试题（2）Part I Reading Comprehension (55%)Part I. Skimming and Scanning (10 %)Directions:In this part, you will have 15 minutes to go over the passage quickly and answer the questions on The Answer Sheet. For questions 1-7, markY ( for YES) if the statement agrees with the information given in the passage;N (for NO) if the statement contradicts the information given in the passage;NG ( for NOT GIVEN) if the information is not given in the passage.For questions 8-10, complete the sentences with information given in the passage.Are Language Skills Enough?There is so much more meaning to a message than what exists in the spoken or written words. For example, if a person says, “You know, Barbara, I really like you,” it has different meanin gs depending on whether it is said by a man or woman, in an office or a bar. Context, the tone of voice, the stress put on certain words, as well as the eye contact, physical distance, and the relationship between the speaker and listener are all factors which give meaning to what’s being said. Sometimes, these factors can generate much more meaning than the words themselves. If a friend says to me, “Gee, I can’t wait to see the result of the upcoming election,” my interpretation of that message will be bas ed upon my knowledge of my friend’s political views, the situation with the current campaign, and my ability to understand the meaning behind the tone of voice.Our ability to understand such cues is developed without us being aware of it through our process of socialization. Our interpretation of these cues just comes naturally. Every culture has its own set of cultural rues that each member of that culture understands. It’s common how a person form Culture A and a person form Culture B interpret the very same words in totally different ways. Here are some examples.When “Sarcasm” Means “Sincerity”Marsha though things were gong well with her new French friends, particularly Bertrand. He often invited her to interesting and fun events, but he was often making fun of her. One day at an art exhibition, while looking at a particularly abstract piece, Marsha said that she couldn’t understand what the artist was trying to express. Bertrand smiled and responded, “Yes, I’m afraid French art is far too advanced for Americans to understand.” Marsha was upset; she really liked him and could not figure out what caused him to frequently make fun of her. So, she asked her host mother about it. “My dear,” the host mother told her, “this means that he really likes you. In F rance, when someone feels comfortable enough to make fun of you, that means that you have been welcomed as a very close friend.”When “Now” Doesn’t Mean “Now”Joshua, an American student in Heredia, Costa Rica, called his Costa Rican partner to meet for coffee. When he asked what time they should meet, the response was “Nos encontranmos ahora en el paraque”. Ahora literallymeans now. So, he grabbed his jacket and headed straight to the park where they agreed to meet. Half an hour later, his friend arrived without the least sigh of regret for being late. After discussing the matter with his Spanish teacher, Joshua learned that in Costa Rica, ahora means sometime within the hour. And, if people decide to meet someplace like the park, it is no problem for one or the other person to wait for a while because they will spend some nice time in the park, probably running into some other friends, or meeting someone friendly.When “Yes” Doesn’t Mean “Yes”Many business people might have experienced this frustrating situation in Japan. Sarah, a young business woman form New York, was sent to Japan to close a big deal for her company. While giving her presentation, she became more and more certain of the sale because her Japanese business partners continually nodded their heads as she spoke. When she finished, she thought the deal was made and asked when they would like to sigh the agreement. She was shocked when she was told that they were not yet sure if they wanted to make the deal or not. What Sarah did not know is th at in Japan, nodding head does not necessarily mean “Yes” as it does in the U.S. It can also mean “Yes, I am listening and understanding what you are saying.”These stories provide just a few examples of how language skills are simply not enough to achieve effective communication in anther culture. To get the most of your international learning experience, focus on gaining cross-cultural skills as well as language skills. Cross-cultural skills will enable you to do the following:●Understand how cultural affects communication;●Deal with behavior that seems to you strange or offensive;●Learn form your cultural adaption process;●Communicate more effectively.These sills will also help you when you learn a new language. After all, language is a reflection of the culture from which it developed.Questions:1.This passage tells us that language skills alone are not enough for cross-cultural communication.2.On many occasions, a spoken or written message may have different meanings due to various contributingfactors.3.We are born with the ability to understand the cultural cues.4.Marsha’s French friend, Bertrand, didn’t like her and often laughed at her ignorance of the French art.5.Joshua learned that in Costa Rica, people are usually late for their appointments and won’t feel sorry for that.6.Nodding in Japan is understood in quite different way form that in America.7.The stories given in the passage come form the author’s interview with Marsha, Joshua, and Sarah.8.The stories told in the passage show that language skills are not enough for people to communicate effectivelyin _____________________.9.Cross-cultural skills will help us learn form our___________________.10.________________________ will also helpful when we learn a new language.Section B Careful Reading (30 %)Directions:In this section, there are 3 passages. 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 OneQuestions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage.In the 1900's, American townspeople usually washed and brushed their teeth and combed their hair in the kitchen. Or they kept a water pitcher（大水罐）and a wash basin in their rooms and took care of these things there.The bathtub was a wash tub（澡盆）filled with water from the stove. If you were small enough you could sit down by drawing your knees to your chest. Otherwise, you washed yourself standing up. Often all the women and girls in the family bathed together. Then the men and boys did. In most families this was Saturday night because Sundays they went to church.A small number of families did have running water. But that depended on whether there was a water system where they lived and on whether they could afford the plumbing（水管设施）. Some people had bathtubs in their homes as early as 1895. But many others did not have their first bath in a bathtub until 1910 or later when they were fifteen or sixteen years old.11. In the first paragraph, "took care of" means _____.A.

We can infer（推断）that the plumbing at that time.A. cost littleB. was more expensive than a water systemC. was too expensive for every family to affordD. was not necessaryPassage TwoQuestions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.In the United States elementary education begins at the age of six. At this stage nearly all the teachers are women, mostly married. The atmosphere is usually very friendly, and the teachers have now accepted the idea that the important thing is to make the children happy and interested. The old authoritarian (要绝对服从的) methods of education were discredited (不被认可) rather a long time ago - so much so that many people now think that they have gone too far in the direction of trying to make children happy and interested rather than giving them actual instruction. The social educationof young children tries to make them accept the idea that human beings in a society need to work together for their common good. So the emphasis is on co-operation rather than competition throughout most of this process. This may seem curious, in view of the fact that American society is highly competitive. However, the need for making people sociable in this sense has come to be regarded as one of the functions of education. Most Americans do grow up with competitive ideas, and obviously quite a few as criminals, but it is not fair to say that the educational system fails. It probably does succeed in making most people sociable and ready to help one another both in material ways and through kindness and friendliness.16. According to the passage, the U.S. elementary education is supposed to make children__________.A. sensible and sensitiveB. competitive and interestedC. curious and friendlyD. happy and co-operative17. Some Americans complain about elementary schools because they think__________.A. children are reluctant to help each otherB. schools lay too much emphasis on co-operationC. children should grow up with competitive ideasD. schools give little actual instruction to children18. The author’s attitude towards American education can be best described as__________.A. favorableB. negativeC. tolerantD. unfriendly19. The American educational system emphasizes__________.A. material wealthB. competitionC. co-operationD. personal benefit20. The word "sociable" (Line 8, Paragraph 2) most probably means__________.A. fond of talking freelyB. friendly with other peopleC. concerned about social welfareD. happy at schoolPassage ThreeQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.Bombay wasn’t the ideal place to get sick — not when my doctor, family and friends were half a world away. I was alone, quite ill and had to delay my flight home. Luckily, when booking my ticket months before, I had bought travel insurance. So my illness didn’t cost me a cent.It’s actually pretty simple. A lot of unforeseen things can happen to you when you’re traveling. Make sure you’re prepared for all of them.A good health insurance policy will get you proper medical attention anywhere in the world outside your home province —at the insurance company’s expense. The company will send you home if it is considered medically necessary and, if you’re sick enough, it will send a nurse to accompany you. If you end up in a hospital and a doctor recommends that a family member come to your bedside, the insurance company will pay for it. You may even getpocket money to make your hospital stay more comfortable.When I was sick in Bombay, I called the insurance company collect. It paid for a doctor (who came to my hotel room), all my medication, an extra night in the hotel and all my meals.Picture it: the day before your big trip to Vancouver, you wake up with appendicitis (阑尾炎). You have no choice — you have to cancel your trip. Your ticket, like most, is non-refundable and you can’t make any changes. You’re about to lose all the money you put out for the ticket — unless you bought cancellation insurance beforehand.Most travel plans include some form of non-refundable element: your deposit, your flights, your cruise, your stay at the all-inclusive resort. That non-refundable portion is what you’ll lose if you have to cancel your trip in the event that you get sick and you don’t have cancellation insurance.21. What happened to the author when he was in Bombay?A. He fell ill and couldn’t go home as scheduled.B. He didn’t buy travel insurance.C. He spent a lot of money on curing his illness.D. He couldn’t get in touch with his family and friends.22. With a health insurance policy, if you get sick traveling away from home, _________.A. you may get pocket money from the local hospital you are inB. your family members may go to see you at the insurance company’s expenseC. you may choose to stay in the best local hospitalD. you may get a nurse from the insurance company to take care of you23. Which item was paid by the insurance company when the author was ill in Bombay?A. His trip to Bombay.B. All his hotel rates.C. All his meals at his hotel.D. His travel insurance policy.24. With cancellation insurance, you can _________.A. have a choice where to go and where to stayB. get your money back when canceling your travel ticketC. enjoy a reduced rate of travel expenseD. buy a refundable ticket at the ticket office25. From the passage we may say that _________.A. a health insurance policy is more useful than a cancellation insurance policyB. a cancellation insurance policy can make your trip safe and comfortableC. when you get sick while traveling away f rom home, you’d better buy a health insuranceD. travel insurance is strongly recommended when you travel away from homeSection C Reading in Depth (15 %)Directions:In this section, there is a passage with ten blanks.

Now teleshopping is starting in Europe. In a number of European countries，people can turn on their TVs and shop for clothes，jewelry，food，toys，and many other things.Teleshopping is becoming popular in Sweden，for example. The biggest Swedish company sells different kinds of things on TV in 15 European countries，and in one year it made $100 million. In France there are twoteleshopping channels，and the French spend about $20 million a year to buy things through those channels.In Germany，until last year teleshopping was only possible on one channel for 1 hour every day. Then the government allowed more teleshopping. Other channels can open for telebusiness，including the largest American teleshopping company and a 24-hour teleshopping company. German businesses are hoping this new teleshopping will help them sell more things.Some people like teleshopping because it allows them to do their shopping without leaving their homes. With all the problems of traffic in the cities，this is an important reason. But at the same time，other Europeans do not like this new way of shopping. They can do teleshopping "junk on the air". Many Europeans usually worry about the quality of the things for sale on TV. Good quality is important to them，and they believe they cannot be sure about the quality of the things on TV.The need for high quality means that European teleshopping companies will have to be different from the American companies. They will have to be more careful about the quality of the things they sell. They will also have to work harder to sell things that the buyers cannot touch or see in person.(1)、Teleshopping is cheap in Europe.A：TB：F答案： B(2)、People like teleshopping because it is easier.A：TB：F答案： A(3)、Some Europeans don't like teleshopping because they don't watch TV.A：TB：F答案： B(4)、In Germany，teleshopping may have fewer buyers.A：TB：F答案： B(5)、The best title of this passage is " Teleshopping in Europe" .A：TB：F答案： A2、 A foreigner's first impression of the U.S. is likely to be that everyone is in a rush - often under pressure. City people appear alwaysto be hurrying to get where they are going restlessly, seeking attention in a store, and elbowing others as they try to complete their errands (任务). Racing through daytime meals is part of the pace of life in this country.Working time is considered precious. Others in public eating places are waiting for you to finish so that they too can be served and get back to work within the time allowed. Each person hurries to make room for the next person. If you don't, waiters will hurry you.You also find drivers will be abrupt and that people will push past you. You will miss smiles, brief conversations, and small courtesies with strangers. Don't take it personally. This is because people value time highly, and they resent someone else "wasting"it beyond a certain courtesy point.The view of time affects the importance we attach to patience. In the American system of values, patience is not a high priority. Many of us have what might be called "a short fuse." We begin to move restlessly about if we feel time is slipping away without some return - be this in terms of pleasure, work value, or rest. Those coming from lands where time is looked upon differently may find this matter of pace to be one of their most difficult adjustments in both business and daily life.Many newcomers to the States will miss the opening courtesy of a business call, for example, they will miss the ritual socializing that goes with a welcoming cup of tea or coffee that may be traditional in theirown country. They may miss leisurely business chats in a caféor coffeehouse. Normally, Americans do not assess their visitors in such relaxed surroundings over prolonged small talks. We seek out evidence of past performance rather than evaluate a business colleague through social courtesies. Since we generally assess and probe professionally rather than socially, we start talking business very quickly.(1)、Which of the following statements is wrong? ___________A：Americans seem to be always under pressure.B：Americans attach less importance to patience.C：Americans don't care much about ritual socializing.D： Americans are impolite to their business colleagues.答案： D(2)、In the fourth paragraph, "a high priority"means ___________.A：a less important thingB：a first concernC：a good businessD：an attractive gift答案： B(3)、Americans evaluate a business colleague ________.A：through social courtesyB：through prolonged business talksC：by establishing business relationsD：by learning about their past performance答案： D(4)、This passage mainly talks about __________.A：how Americans treasure their timeB： how busy Americans are every dayC：how Americans do business with foreignersD： what American way of life is like答案： A(5)、We can infer from the passage that the author's tone in writing is ________.A：criticalB：ironicalC：praisefulD：objective答案： C三、词汇与语法1、Tom ________ more than twenty pounds on the novel.A：spentB：paidC：costD：took答案： A2、If you ride your bike too fast, there may be _____accident.A：aB：theC：anD：不填答案： C3、Professor White contributed a lot to our community, _______.

Each passage is followed by some questions. 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. Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:Philanthropy is a way that people and organizations show concern for others or work to improve the world. Approximately 72 percent of Americans donate to charity (慈善机构), and 51 percent do volunteer work. About 2 millions not-for-profit organizations and charities in the United States today receive this help.There are three types of philanthropists: individuals, foundations, and private corporations. Individuals give money or volunteer their time to support causes that are important to them. Foundations are organizations started by very wealthy individuals. Their “business” is not to make a profit but to give money away to not-for-profits. Private corporations may also use a portion of their business profits to make donations,or they may give away their products or services free of charge. However, foundations and corporations are responsible for only 20 percent of charitable donations; 80 percent comes from individuals.What makes people and institutions give away their time and money? One reason is altruism, the unselfish desire to help other people and make the world a better place. Other reasons involve personal interest. Under US tax law, an individual or business does not have to pay income tax on money that is donated to charity. For extremely wealthy individuals and corporations, this can mean millions of dollars they do not have to pay in taxes to the government. In addition to tax benefits, donors often receive favorable publicity for making donations, and they have an opportunity to influence the world around them.31. What is the main idea of the first paragraph?A. Philanthropy has become an accepted American custom.B. Philanthropy has made the US a great influence in the world.C. More and more organizations rely on philanthropy nowadays.D. Religion plays an important role in the philanthropy in the US.32. Which of the following is NOT characteristic of philanthropists?A. To donate money.B. To do volunteer work.C. To pay income tax.D. To provide free services.33. What is the main source of donations in the United States?A. Foundations.B. Individuals.C. The government.D. Private corporations.34. How are foundations different from private corporations in the aspect of philanthropy?A. They don’t make a profit.B. They receive more publicity.C. They are set up by very rich individuals.D. They don’t donate money to individuals.35. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. Individuals tend to donate money to become famous.B. Foundations gain more power because of philanthropy.C. Some people donate money for practical purposes.D. The US tax law discourages people from donating money.Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:A lot of people think that if they put off the decision of whether they want to stay in or leave their relationships, the problems they are having will magically somehow heal themselves or disappear. They won’t.If you don’t inve st some quality time now in taking a true, honest and truthful look at the state of your relationship, you could stay stuck in this place of indecision for a very long time. Many people waste so much precious time when they could be experiencing an incredible relationship filled with love, passion and joy, either in their current relationship or one that is more of what they want. We encourage you to take an honest look at your situation and feel how much pain you’ve been feeling about this relationship. If having a great relationship is important to you, you need to decide that you’re not willing to live without the love, passion, intimacy, and tenderness. You have to take the first step to create the kind of relationship and love you want in your life.We’re not suggesting that you should leave your current relationship or marriage and head out looking for the new love of your life. That’s your decision and one that should only be made after some careful insight and thinking.

Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements with no more than 10 words. Be sure to write your answers on Answer Sheet (2).German careers or jobs fall into several categories. First, there are positions that require strong ability in German with a company in Germany, Austria or Switzerland. This category may also include a job requiring good German and/or bilingual (双语的) skills within a company doing business in the US, Canada, Mexico or elsewhere. Secondly, there are jobs that can be done in English in German Europe. Then there are German companies abroad.Most minor and many major positions are filled by recruiting German, Austrian or Swiss nationals. If you are already in German Europe, you may have a better chance of finding a job. In any case, it is best if your company can handle all the formalities involved when a foreign national takes a job in Germany. There are also relocation services that can help with this if you don’t have any ideas yourself.The German unemployment rate has remained at a fairly high level over the last decade. It is almost impossible for a non-German to get a job in Germany unless she/he can prove that it can’t be done by a German national. In certain fields, such as computer science or information systems, “green card” foreign workers have been imported, but this practice is still uncommon. The reality of searching for and finding a suitable position in German Europe or with a German firm means two main things: knowledge and planning. Too many times, job seekers have unrealistic expectations. Often they overestimate their language skills and underestimate the level of competition. Another danger is ignoring culture shock. That’s why we also offer links to culture-related sites.For getting most German jobs, it is your ability in a field—computers, teaching, advertising, etc.—rather than your German skills that will be the biggest factor in a successful search. But all other things being equal between you and another candidate, it is the person with the best language skills who usually gets the job.41. What is the requirement of the job within a company doing business in the US,Canada, Mexico or elsewhere included in the first category?42. What might the company do for the benefit of a foreign employee?43. What seems to be “hot” fields if you are to find a job in German?44.

What is more important to get most German jobs according to the passage?Part III Vocabulary and Structure (25 marks)Section A (15 marks, 0.5 mark each)Directions: There are 30 incomplete sentences in this part.
