lot of pressure on farmers to keepprices down.With fewer people working on farms it can be isolating."she said."There is a highrate of suicide and farming will never make you rich!"Oliver Robinson.25,grew up on a farm in Yorkshire.But he never considered staying onhis father and grandfather's land."I'm sure Dan hoped I'd stay,"he said."I guess it's a nice, straightforward life,but it doesn't appeal.For young ambitious people,farm life would be a hard world."For Robinson.farming doesn't offer much in terms of money or lifestyle.Hollins agreesthat economics stops people from

BritisW'Passage3No one knows exactly how many disabled people(残疾人)there arc in the word.but estimates suggest the figure is over450million.The number of disabled people in India alone is probably more than double the total population of Canada.In the United Kingdom.about one in ten people have some disability.Disability is not just something hat happens to other people:as we get older.many of us will become less mobile.hard of hearing or have failing eyesight.Disablement can take many forms and occur at any time of life.Some people are born with disabilities.Many others become disabled as they get older.There are many progressive disabling diseases.The longer time goes on.the worse they become.Some people are disabled in accidents. Many others may have a period of disability in the form of a mental illness.All are affected by people's attitude towards them.Disabled people face many physical barriers.Next time you go shopping or to work or visit friends,imagine how you would manage if you could not get up steps,or on to buses and trains. How would you cope if you could not see where you were going or could not hear the traffic?Butthere are other barriers:prejudice can be even harder to break down and ignorance inevitably represents by far the greatest barrier of all.It is almost impossible for the able-bodied to fully appreciate what the severely disabled go through.so it is important to draw attention to these barriers and show that it is the individual person and their ability.not their disability,which counts.46.The first paragraph tells us that.A.the number of disabled people in India is the greatestB.there are less than450million disabled people in the worldC.there are more than450million disabled people in the worldD.the number of disabled people in India is equal to the total population of Canada47.The key

against the disabled because of ignorance.C.Even the able-bodied might lose some of their body functions when they get older.D.The whole society should pay attention to the barriers faced by the disabled people.49.The clause"which counts"in the last paragraph means that_.A.ability is the most importantB.disability is consideredC.disability is includedD.barrier is the most important50.It can be concluded from the passage that_A.we should try our best to prevent disablementB.we should take a proper attitude towards the disabledC.both physical and mental barriers are hard to break downD.the able-bodied will never fully understand the disabledPassage4It is really a surprise that after hundreds of years,educationists have still failed to design anything more efficient and reliable than examinations.It is claimed that examinations test what you know,but it is common knowledge that they more often do the exact opposite.They may be a good means of testing memory,or the skills of working rapidly under extreme pressure,but they can tell you nothing about a person's true ability.As anxiety-makers.examinations are second to none.That is because so much depends on them.They are the mark of success or failure in our society.Your whole future may be decided in one fateful day.No one can show his best in worry,or after a sleepless night,yet this is precisely what the examination system expects him to do.A good education should,among other things,train you to think for yourself.The examination system however,does anything but that.What has to be learnt is laid down by a syllabus(教学大纲).so the student is encouraged to memorize.Examinations do not motivate a student to read widely,and they do not enable him to seek more and more knowledge.Furthermore.teachers themselves are often judged by the results of their students'examinations.Consequently,they have to train their students to master exam techniques which they dislike.They most successful candidates are not always the best educated but the best trained..The results on which so much depends are often nothing more than a subjective assessment bysome anonymous(匿名的)examiners.They certainly make mistakes.because they have tomark mountains of scripts(答卷)in a limited amount of time.They work under the same sortof pressure as the candidates.51.The main idea of this passage is that examinations are.A.anxiety-makersB.harmful to educationC.reliable and efficientD.good measures of memory52.It is clear that the author examinations.95A.argues forB.argues againstC.is interested inD.is indifferent to53.The fate of students is decided by_according to the passage.A.examinationcationC.teachingD.learning54.According to the author,the most importance of a good education is to.A.encourage students to read widelyB..teach students how to tackle examsC.train students to think on their ownD.encourage students to seek more knowledge55.Which statement is NOT mentioned in the passage?A.Examinations can make students anxious.B.The examiners might make mistakes in marking.C.Teachers'work is.judged based on the results of examinations.D.Tools better than examinations to test students'ability have been found.Part III Cloze(10%)When I come across a good article in reading newspapers.I often want to cut and keep it.But just as I am about to do so I find the560n the opposite side is as much interesting.Itmay be a discussion of the way to57in good health.or a report about58tobehave and conduct oneself in society.If I cut the front article,the opposite one is likely t059 damage,leaving out half of it or keeping the text60the title.Therefore.I should prepare61I start to cut.Or it will be halfway done when I find out the62result.63two things are to be done at the same time.You can only take up one of them,theother has to wait or be64_But you know the future is unpredictable----the changedsituation may not allow you to do what is left65.Thus you are caught in a66positionand feel

Then you are probably quict. shy. and you would rather follow than lead You tend to be a pessimist (悲观主义者) . At least. this is what psychologists tell us. and they should know. because they have been seriously studying the meaning of colours preference, as well as the effect that colours have on human beings.

If you happen to love brown, you did so as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly.Colours do influence our moods------there is no doubt about it.

A black bridge over the Thames River. Near London. used to be the scene of more suicides (自杀) than any other bridge in the area-until it was repainted green.

The 23-year-old British farmer and her 21-year-old brother Ben are fighting to save the farm from the city developers that their father worked on since he was 14. While she is confident they will succeed. she lists farming's many challenges: "You don't often get a day off. Supermarkets put a lot of pressure on farmers to keep prices down. With fewer people working on farms it can be isolating." she said. "There is a high rate of suicide and farming will never make you rich!"Oliver Robinson. 25, grew up on a farm in Yorkshire. But he never considered staying on his father and grandfather's land. "I'm sure Dan hoped I'd stay," he said. "I guess it's a nice, straightforward life, but it doesn't appeal. For young ambitious people, farm life would be a hard world." For Robinson. farming doesn't offer much in terms of money or lifestyle.

Y ou should decide on the best choice, and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneI'm a Chinese student studying in Canada. I have been a boarder(寄宿生) with the Carsons for more than a year and a half.The Carsons live in their own house, which has four bedrooms including the one in the basement(底层) which I live in. Judy does all the work in the house and Andrew is responsible forthe work in the garden. When they go out in they evening, they often ask me to look after their children.Judy's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Morris, lived in another city. Judy was their only child and naturally they doted on(溺爱) Judy's children. They often sent the children presents.Last April Mr. Morris died. Now that Mrs. Morris was quite alone, I expected that Judy would want her to come and live with them. One day, Margaret told me grandma was coming to live with them and her daddy and mummy would want my room back. The news didn't surprise me and the next day I went to Judy and asked her about it. I said I couldn't think of living in their basement room any longer if it was needed for Mrs. Morris. Judy seemed surprised at first. Then she told me there was no deed for me to move, for they hadn't yet come to any decision about her mother coming to live with them. "Naturally I'm worried about my mother. She has been in poor health." She smiled sadly and added. "To be honest, Andrew and my mother have never got on well. We'll wait a bit and see what happens. Perhaps Moter will be all right living herself, of perhaps they will both change their minds."That was six months ago. During this time I've heard that Mrs. Morris has had two illnesses and that her health has got worse. A nursing home was mentioned once but Mrs. Morris refused to go there. So up to now she's still living alone and I'm still living in the basement room.61. What is the relationship between the speaker and the Carsons?A. He is a brother of Andrew Carson.B. He is a close friend of the Carsons.C. He is a student of Judy Carson.D. He is a student who pays to live and have meals at the Carsons' house.62. Why did the speaker expect Mrs. Morris to come to live with her daughter?A. Because Mr. Morris was dead.B. Because Mrs. Morris suffered from illness.C. Because Mrs. Morris lived all by herself.D. Because of all the reasons mentioned in A, B and C.63. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A. Mrs. Morris was coming to live with the Carsons, so they asked the speaker to move.B. Judy had no brothers or sisters to look after her mother.C. Mrs. Morris loved her grandchildren very much.D. The Carsons once suggested that Mrs. Morris go to live in a nursing home.64. Why didn't Mrs. Morris come to live with her daughter's family?A. Because the speaker lived in the basement room and there was no other room for her to live in.B. Because she did not have a good relationship with her son-in-law.C. Because she was in rather poor health and could not come.D. Because she did not want to leave her own house.65. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. My Landlady.B. The Boarder.C. Family Relationships is Canada.D. Nursing Homes and the Aged.Passage T woOverhead bridges are found in many parts of Beijing, especially in places where traff ic is very heavy and crossing the road is dangerous.The purpose of these bridges is to enable pedestrians (行人) to cross roads safely. O verhead bridges are used to very much the same way as zebra crossings. They are more efficient (效率高的) although less convenient because people have to climb up a long flig ht of steps. This is inconvenient especially to older people. When pedestrains use an over head bridge, they do not hold up traffic. However, when they cross a busy road using a zebra crossing, traffic is held up. This is why the government has built many overhead br idges to help pedestrians and to keep traffic moving at the same time.The government of Beijing has spent a large amount of money on building these brid ges. For their own safety, pedestrians should be encouraged to use them instead of risking (冒…危险) their lives by dashing across the road. Old people , however , may find it a little difficult climbing up and down the steps, but it is still much safer than walking ac ross the road with all the danger of moving traffic.Overhead bridges serve a very useful purpose. Pedestrians, both old and young, should ma ke it a habit to use them. This will prevent unnecessary accidents and loss of life.66. What is the advantage of overhead bridges mentioned in this passage?A. Taller trucks can pass under them.B. Pedestrians can climb up and have a view of the city.C. They are safer for pedestrians and can keep traffic moving at the same time.D. They are easier and more convenient for the pedestrians.67. Why were overhead bridges built in Beijing?A. Because they prevent traffic from being held up.B. Because they provide an easy way for the drivers to cross the road.C. Because they save money for the government.D. Because they save time for the pedestrians.68. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. Overhead bridges are found in every part of Beijing.B. Overhead bridges are only found in the centre of Beijing.C. Overhead bridges are found in many parts of big cities in China.D. Overhead bridges are found in places where traffic is heavy.69. The underlined words a zebra crossing probably mean ________.A. a safe place across a road for pedestrians to walk across the roadB. a wild animal from Africa that looks like a horse with broad dark brown and whit e stripes on its bodyC. a safe place across a road for zebras to walk across the roadD. a safe place across a road for children to play a game70. What is the writer’s attitude towards overhead bridges?A. It is inconvenient to older people to walk across the road.B. It is much safer for pedestrians though climbing up and down the steps may be a little difficult,C. An overhead bridge is more beautiful than a zebra crossing.D. To build overhead bridges is the business of the government.Passage ThreeThere was a time when, if a lady got into a crowded bus or train, a gentleman would immediately stand up and offer his seat. But now, things are different. Today a gentleman will probably look out of the window or if he feels a bit shy, hide behind his newspaper. Either way, the lady will have to stand until someone else gets off.Y ou can't entirely blame men for this change in manners, though. Gone are the days when women could be referred to as weakers without causing trouble. A whole generation of women has grown up demanding equality with men, not just equality in jobs or education, but in social life. Hold a door open for some women and you are likely to get an angry lecture on treating women as weakers unable to open doors for themselves. Take a girl out for meal and she'll probably insist on paying her share of the bill. On second thoughts, that is perhaps not a bad idea.It's no wonder then, that men have given up some ways of politeness and consideration which they used to show towards women. On the other hand, the man's active politeness is perhaps slowly being replaced by true consideration for the needs and feelings of women, so that men can see women as equal human beings, rather than as weakers or something that can be used to please men.71. Today, when a lady gets on a crowed bus or train, a gentleman would probaby . .A. stand up and offer her his seatB. read his newspaperC. look out of the windowD. not stand up and offer her his seat72. What men do towards women on a crowded bus or train today is . .A. really badB. strange enoughC. not entirely wrongD. entirely wrong73. The new generation of women wants to be . .A. treated not as the weaker sexB. Terated as the weaker sexC. cared for on buses and trainsD. better treated than before74. According to the passage, which of the following is not correct?A. Some women may get angry if you open the door for them.B. Girls don’t want you to pay for meal at allC. Some women may criticize you if you show too much politeness to themD. A girl may be unangry if you insist on paying her share of the bill.75. From the passage, we know that . .A. women need true consideration of their needs and feelingsB. men have given up some politeness they used to show to womenC. women often get angry of you’re polite to themD.women should stand in the bus or trainPassage Four“ Family” is of course an elastic word. But when British people say that their society is based on family life, they are thinking of “family” in its narrow, peculiarly European sense of mother, father and children living together alone in their own house as an economic and social unit. Thus, every British marriage indicates the beginning of a new and independent family—hence the tremendous importance of marriage in British life.For both the man and the woman, marriage means leaving one´s parents and starting one´s own life. The man´s first duty will then be to his wife, and the wife´s to her husband. He will be entirely responsible for her financial support, and she for the running of the new home. Their children will be their common responsibility and theirs alone. Neither the wife´s parents nor the husband´s, nor their brothers or sisters, aunts or uncles, have any right to interfere with them—they are their own masters.Readers of novels like Jane Austen´s Pride and Prejudice will know that in former times marriage among wealthy families were arranged by the girl´s parents, that is, it was the parents´duty to find a suitable husband for their daughter, preferably a rich one, and by skillful encouragement to lead him eventually to ask their permission to marry her. Until that time, the girl was protected and maintained in the parents´ home, and the financial relief of getting rid of her could be seen in their giving the newly married pair a sum of money called a dowry. It is very different today. Most girls of today get a job when they leave school and become financially independent before their marriage. This has had two results. A girl chooses her own husband, and she gets no dowry.76. What does the author mean by “Family is of course an elastic word”?A.Different families have different ways of life.B. Different definitions could be given to the word.C. Different nations have different families.D.Different times produce different families.77. For an English family, the husband´s duty is ____.A. supporting the family while the wife is financialB. defending the family while the wife is running the homeC. financial while the wife is running the homeD. independent while the wife is dependent78. Everything is decided in a family ____.A.by the coupleB. with the help of their parentsC. by brothers and sistersD. with the help of aunts and uncles79. What is true concerning the book Pride and Prejudice?A. It is the best book on marriage.B. It is a handbook of marriage.C. It gives quite some idea of English social life in the past.D. It provides a lot of information of former time wealthy families.80.With regard to marriage in Britain, present-day girls differ from former time girls in ____.A. the right marryB. more parental supportC. choosing husbandsD. social positionPart IV.

By observing subtle changes in nature that would be unnoticeable to most people-in air currents, the flowering and shedding of leaves of certain trees, the behaviour of ants, bird songs, etc-they have been able to interpret weather patterns and provide valuable advice.What difficulty do local rainmakers face in making weather predictions?But the irregular weather patterns brought by climate change mean therainmakers can no longer use those sighs to make their predictions. And they don’t have access to the technologies available to meteorologists (气象学家).“Climate change has come on so fast. People don’t know how to adapt or what to plant,”says Obedi Osoce, a traditional weatherman. “Our traditional crops are disappearing because they cannot handle the new conditions. We need new strategies to handle clim ate change.”Now a British-Canadian project is doing just that, linking the rainmakers with government meteorologists. The two groups get together each season and produce an agreed forecast to be spread using a variety of methods suited to communities where many cannot read or write-through ceremonies, public meetings and person-to person comma-kation.Both parties are pleased with the collaboration. “I think the two sciences equally valid. We are marrying our energies to help people better,”says Mr. Onunga, a Nganyi community elder involved in the project.‘The results have been surprisingly good-the community agreed that the forecast was accurate,”says Gilbert Ouma, a lecturer at the University of Nairobi.“Through this project we hope to learn what it is that we can share together to live today and to adapt to tomorrow,”says Professor Laban Ogallo, leader of the Nganyi project.36. Which of the following has been used by traditional Nganyi rainmakers in weather prediction?A.Plant seedsB.Dog harksC.Bird songsD.Ocean currents37. What difficulty do local rainmakers face in making weather predictions? they don’t have access to the technologies available to meteorologistsA. They cannot find an effective way to deliver messages.B. They lack modern technologies to cope with climate change.C. They cannot get financial support from the local government.D. They lack the facilities to stop traditional crops from disappearing.38. How do people involved in the British-Canadian project feel about their cooperation?A. SatisfiedB.ConfusedC.

Fortunately, she did’t have to choose between them. Maya Design, a Pittsburgh based creative consulting firm, allows parents to bring newborns into the office.“If I’d had to leave my children after my maternity leave ended, I would never have goes back to work,”says Gemperle, a designer and researcher, who brought her son Milo into the office after he was born.She’s not the only parent taking advantage of the benefit. Senior analystJon West brings his 10-mouth-old son, Owen, to the several times a month. In fact, when West considered using only part of his paternity leave, his co-workers urged him to take all six weeks.“I had pressure to take that leave,”recalls West, “People told me, it’s an important part of your life and you need to experience it.”“No matter how quiet the baby is, it’s an obvious distraction (分心的事),”says Tory Johnson, the chief executive of Women for Hire, a New York City-based recruiting film.No one has complained yet. Even if somebody did, it wouldn’t matter to Mickey McManus, Maya’s CEO and president, who argues that the policy builds loyalty and helps parents shift back into work mode.As part of its balancing act, Maya shares up to 20% of quarterly profits with its employees. However, the size of those checks might be up in the air at the moment. The firm once laid off five workers and it is now considering 4-day weeks to avoid more layoffs.40.

It keeps a balance between work and life.D. It promotes equality un employment.43. Which of these would be the best title for the passage?A. A Flexible Working ScheduleB. A staff shortage in Maya DesignC. A Pittsburgh-based Working PlaceD. A Company Taking Care of Young ParentsPassage ThreeHarry Potter fans will instantly recognize the snowy owl as Harry’s famous companies, Hedwig, but these beautiful owls are easily recognizable not for their magical associations, but for their large size and striking while feathers. Snowy owls are, in fact, the only white owl, and they are a highly sought after species for many birdwatchers to add to their life lists.Foods: Small mammals, birds, fish.Habitat and Migration: Snowy owls are found in far northern latitudes including tundra, a vast treeless frozen region in the Arctic. Their breeding grounds (繁殖地) are in the Arctic tundra, and they migrate south throughout Canada during the winter. In exceptionally server winters or when food supplies are searce, these owls can appear much further south than their normal range. While principally a North American bird, they can also migrate to the northern areas of Europe an Asia.Behaviour: Snowy owls, like all owls, are powerful animal bunters that are active mostly at night but can bunt and feed during the day, especially when food supplies are low. These owls will rest on the ground or on rocks, stumps and other low favorable points. Males can be fierce when defending the nest, and both genders will also perform an “injured bird” act to tempt animal invaders to go away from the nest.Reproduction: Snowy owls may incubate (孵卵) 3-10 eggs for 30-34 days, or the incubation may be done primarily by the freak. The baby owls remain in the nest for 14-21 days and will attempt their first flight when they are 42-58 days old. Mated pairs will raise one group of young birds per year unless food supplies are inadequate and then no eggs may be produced.44、What have you learned from Paragraph 1?A. Harry Potter fans like snowy owlsB. Hedwig is one of the snowy owl watchersC. The snowy owl is a large bird with white feathersD. It is easy to find snowy owls in snow covered areas45、What does Paragraph 3 tell about snowy owls?A. The can be found in Asia and EuropeB. They live in groups in hard winter daysC. Their breeding grounds are in areas south to CanadaD. They appear in the Artic when food supplies are scarce46、For snowy owls, one way to defend their nest is _____A. to stand on a rock nearbyB. to pretend to have been injuredC. to spread their wingsD. to give a warning47、What will snowy owls probably do when food is insufficient?A. They may stop producing eggsB. They will reduce their flightsC. They will be less active at nightD. They will only hunt during he day Passage FourWe lost two superstars in 1977. Neither man’s admirers have been able to understand the success of the other one. And this tells us something of the difference between the generations that the two singers represent.There were similarities between Bing Crosby and Elvis Presley. Both reached fame while young and became very rich. Although neither one had any musical education, both developed their own musical styles, which were first criticized by the critics and later studied as new forms in the art of popular song. Both men had successful movie careers despite a total lack of acting ability.Both were creations of the microphone, which made it possible for singers with weak voices to be heard beyond the third now. With Bing the microphone was usually hidden; but Elvis brought it to the stage.The difference between the two men reflects the changing values in American life Crosby’s music was soothing( 令人舒畅的) , Presley’s was disturbing. Crosby was singing to wartime America. His audiences had all the disturbance they could handle in their private lives, they did not want to buy more at the record shop and the movie theater.Crosby’s admires always said how “relaxed”and “natural”he was. When Presley began his career, the whole country had become relaxed and easygoing. Its young people, who had no memory of trouble times, found it boring. They were hungry for excitement. They welcomed Elvis, who was certainly not the kind of young man their parents would admire. Presley wasload and vulgar( 粗俗的) ——and be was bringing something new and exciting.It is probably too simple to explain each man in terms of changes in the economic and political situation. Something in the culture was also changing.48、Which of the following could be inferred about Crosby and Presley?A. They died in the same year.B. They became popular in 1977C. They influenced each other in musicD. They represented the postwar generation49、In which aspect the singers are similar to each other?A. Their songs were widely used in moviesB. They became famous in late year of their livesC. Their musical styles are recognized by the criticsD. Neither of them received any formal musical education50、What did Crosby’s audiences get from his music?A. ExcitementB. DisturbanceC. Ease and comfortD. Passion and thrill51、What is most Presley to be discussed if the passage continues?A. The political situation that the two singers facedB. The cultural changes that the two singers experiencedC. The economic influence on the music of the two singersD. The message that the two singers expressed in their musicPassage FiveThere are millions of left-handed people in the world. A number of them got together in 1975 to form an association called Left-handers International. The purpose of the organization is to fight discrimination (particularly to jobs) and to inform the public. They want everybody to understand the left-handers are neither “strange” nor sick nor dangerous.Many studies have been made recently about hand preference in humans. They have brought interesting results. It has been found, for instance, that many more men than women are left-handed; that all children use both hands about equally until they are three years old; and that hand preference is not clearly marked until age six. Above that age, most people not only favour one particular hand but also have a favourite eye, a favourite ear and foot.We know that the left side of the body is controlled by the right side of the brain, which seems that this particular half is the seat of emotions, imagination, and of the sense of space. And, indeed, lefties in seem to be more creative than the right-handers; they also seem to be more athletic and to do better in some professions which ---like sports----require a good sense of space. In a large school of architecture , it was found in 1977 that 29% of the professes and 23% of the graduating students were left-handed---while lefties represent less than 10% of the general population.Finally, left-handers may be more stubborn and impulsive( 冲动的) than right-handers. And they are more likely to suffer from problems such as stuttering( 口吃) and a difficulty in reading called dyslexia. The problems are more serious in left-handed persons who have been forced to favour their right hand. Doctors insist that one should never try to change a child’s hand preference.52、What does Left-handers International aim to do for left-handers?A. To create new jobsB. To promote equalityC. To show discriminationD. To study hand preference53、According to recent studies, when is hand preference formed?A. Before birthB. At birthC. At age threeD. At age six54、Compared with right-handers, left-handers______A. are less creativeB. are more easygoingC. have a better sense of spaceD. do better in most professions55、Left-handers are advised to stick to their hand preference because_____A. it is fun and comfortable to be left-handersB. the left hand is just as good as the right handC. it is difficult for them to switch to the right handD. changing hand preference may cause serious problemsV.

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. From this selection, it seems true that the Atlantic Ocean ______．A) is in one time zoneB) cannot be crossed in five daysC) is divided into five time zonesD) is divided into twenty-four zones53. If you cross the Atlantic Ocean going east，you set your clock ______．A) ahead one hour in each new time zoneB) head by twenty-three hoursC) back one full day for each time zoneD) ahead one hour for the whole trip54.. The International Date Line is the name for _______．A) any time zone in the Pacific OceanB) any point where time changes by one hourC) the point where a new day beginsD) the beginning of any new time zonePassage TwoMost people have had a dog or wanted one as their companion at some time in their lives. 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. According to educational advisers, how many months of expense should be ensured by foreign students?A) At least two months.B) At least six months.C) At least twelve months.D) At least eighteen months.61. What is Not included in the international application for the university?A) A signed Statement of Financial Responsibility.B) A name list of anyone who will offer help for payments.C) A bank statement issued in the past six months.D) Proofs from banks showing that the students have got the money.62. American universities _________ to international students at the undergraduate levelA) sometimes offer partial financial assistance.B) occasionally offer financial assistance.C) generally do not offer financial assistance.D) always offer financial assistance.Section B.Directions: Match the Chinese sentences in the left column with the English in the right column.Mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through thecentre.山东省2012年普通高等教育专升本统一考试英语试卷二第四部分翻译（本大题共10小题，每小题2分，共20分）Part IV TransalationSection ADirections:Put the following sentences into Chinses.All of them are taken from the passages you have just read.71 Traveling west, you set your clock back; traveling east, you set it ahead._______________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________ 72 Different dogs were originally developed to perform specific tasks._______________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________73 A dog is loyal to its master and consequently wants him to show proof of his affection_______________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________74 This is generally true of American schools, especially at the undergraduate level._______________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________75 The government or employer may be able to help you pay all or some college costs._______________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________Section BDirections:Put the following sentences intoEmglish.76 我喜欢农村生活胜过城市生活。

A man goes shopping because he needs something. His purpose is settled and decided in 32 . He knows what he wants, and his objective is to find it and buy it; the price is a secondary33 . All men simplywalk into a shop and ask for what they want. If the shop has it in 34 , the salesman promptly produces it, and the business of 35 it on proceeds at once. And if all 36 well, the deal can be and often is completed in less than five minutes, With 37 chat and to everyone’s satisfaction.Now how does a woman go out buying clothes? Her shopping is not always 38 on needs. She has 39 fully made up her mind what she wants, and she is only “having a look 40 .” She is always open to persuasion. Indeed she gets great store bywhat the saleman tells her, ever by what comanions tell her. She will try on any number of things. Uppermost in her mind 41 the thought of finding something that everyone thinks suits her. 42 to a lot of jokes, most women have an excellent sense of value when they buy clothes. They are always on the look out for the unexpected 43 . Faced with a roomful of dresses, a woman may easily 44 an hour going from one rail to another ,often retracting her steps, before selecting the dresses she wants to try on. It is a laboring process, but apparently a(n) 45 one. Most dress shops provide chairs for the waiting husbands.31.A.similar B.different C.same D.time-consuming32.A.detail B.advance C.time D.mind33.A.matter B.thing C.objective D.consideration34.A.sale B.stock C.store D.supply35.A.putting B.testing C.examining D.trying36.A.is B.goes C.happening D.being37.A.hardly B.no C.nor D.seldom38.A.decided B.put C.depended D.based39.A.nevertheless B.already C.never D.yet40.A.round B.about C.at D.for41.A.was B.is C.were D.are42.A.According B.As C.So as D.Contrary43.A.bargain B.fashion C.style D.modee B.cost C.spend D.need45.A.worthwhile B.tolerant C.enjoyable D.tiresomeIII.ReadingComprehension(45points)SectionA(30points,2foreach)Directions:There are three passages in this part. Each of the three passages is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices markedA,B,CandD. You should decide on the best choice mark the corresponding letter on the ANSWERSHEET with a single line through the center.Questions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage:Colds are very common. The symptoms（症状）of the common colds include a sore throat, runny nose, stuffed-upnose （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 get chilled, 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 popularin 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 soon.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 thecure 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 common cold47.According to the passage, people with colds feel_________A．Stuffy B.tired C.thirsty D.dizzy48.To prevent catching cold, you__________A.should go out on a rainy dayB.should not wash your hair in cold weatherC.should not keep away from a person who has a coldD.should not eat too much49.Which of the following is NOT a “cure” for the commocold？A．Take a lot of vitaminC B．Drink plenty of waterC．Getmorerest D.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 commoncold.D.Scientists are close to finding a cure for colds.Questions51to55arebasedonthefollowingpassage: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.“Road-testing Happiness: How to be Happier” by Sophie is a self-help book. “Being happy is something you need t o focus on, it doesn’t come as a matter of course.” Scott said. “you always need to make an effort, even if your each the pointof 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.“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 .”She says, “In the book , I 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 las t thing you need is to be thinking you’ve got to be happy all the time.” she said. But it is import ant 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 a nd how yo u’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.keepinghappy 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 everytimeB.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’sopinion？A.Happiness lies in our contentmentB.Happiness originates from our successC.A smile always makes a young manughing can make you become fatQuestion 56 to 60 are based on the following passage:For 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 highlevel 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 tobe more inactive than men at home and workplace because too many people think that women are the cause of the disease. This is not at all true. They get it from men. They don’t just simply have HIV. Of course, there’s social discriminatation 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. For example, it’s very difficult for people with HIV to travel. They are not allowed to enter many countries, including theUnited 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, int o an isolated place by herself. It’s not at all uncommon to meet a woman who has been HIV-positive for nearly 10 years 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 Nationsto struggle for their rights—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 with HIV discriminated against?A.They are not active at home and don’tworkB.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 withAIDSB.Discussing their trouble with their doctors onlyC.Struggling for their rights as people with AIDSD.Making other people frightened of themSectionB Short Answer Questions (15points,3foreach)Directions: Answer each of the questions in less than 10words.How to Talk to Anyone, Anytime, AnywhereI never wanted to be any thing but abroadcaster, a talker. And for 40 years, 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 suc cess 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 own can help improve 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 ofmaking 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, NewYork, 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 wa nt 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 our ____________and ourthinking.65.If we follow all these rules given in the passag, we will certainly become___________________.IV.Translation(20points,4foreach)Directions:In this part, there are five items which you are required to translate into Chinese, theses entences are all taken from the reading passages you have just read. You can refer back to the passages so as 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 avoid 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 t hat you can be happy if your life isn’t going according to plan. T he key is managing expectations .________________________________________________________________ _______________ 69.Of course, there’s social discriminatation against all people with HIV. P eople 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 rights—are likely to live longer.________________________________________________________________ _______________ V.Writing(25points)Directions:For this part you are to write a letter. Suppose you were XiaoLi. Write a lerrer to XiaoWang, a schoolmate of yours who is going to visit you during the holiday.

Each passage is followed by some questions or incomplete statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice, and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneI’m a Chinese student studying in Canada. I have been aboarder with the Carsons for more than a year and a half.The Carsons live in their own house, which has four bedrooms including the one in the basement which I live in. Judy does all the work in the house and Andrew is responsible for the work in the garden. When they go out in the evening, they often ask me to look after their children.Judy’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Morris, lived in another city. Judy was their only child and naturally they doted on Judy’s children. They often sent the children presents.Last April Mr. Morris died. Now that Mrs. Morris was quite alone, I expected that Judy would want her to come and live with them. One day, Margaret told me grandma was coming to live with them and her daddy and mummy would want my room back. The ne ws didn’t surprise me and the next day I went to Judy and ask ed her about it. I said I couldn’t think of living in their basement room any longer if it was needed for Mrs. Morris. Judy seemed surprised at first. Then she told me there was no deed for me to move, for they hadn’t yet come to any decision about her mot her coming to live with them. “Naturally I’m worried about my mother. She has been in poor health.” She smiled sadly and added. “To be honest, Andrew and my mother have never got on well. We’ll w ait a bit and see what happens. Perhaps Mother will be all right living herself, of perhaps they will both change their minds.”That was six months ago. During this time I’ve heard that Mrs. Morris has had two illnesses and that her health has got worse. A nursing home was mentioned once but Mrs. Morris refused to go there. So up to now she’s still living alone and I’m still living in the basement room.61. What is the relationship between the speaker and theCarsons?A. He is a brother of Andrew Carson.B. He is a close friend of the Carsons.C. He is a relative of Judy Carson.D. He is a student who pays to live and have meals at the Carsons’ house.62. Why did the speaker expect Mrs. Morris to come to live with her daughter?A. Because Mr. Morris was dead.B. Because Mrs. Morris suffered from illness.C. Because Mrs. Morris lived all by herself.D. Because of all the reasons mentioned in A, B and C.63. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A. Mrs. Morris loved her grandchildren very much.B. Judy had no brothers or sisters to look after her mother.C. Mrs. Morris was coming to live with the Carsons, so they asked the speaker to move.D. The Carsons once suggested that Mrs. Morris go to live ina nursing home.64. Why didn’ t Mrs. Morris come to live with her daughter’s family?A. Because she did not have a good relationship with her son －in－law．B. Because she did not want to leave her own house．C. Because she was in rather poor health and could not come．D. Because the speaker lived in the basement room and there was no other room for her to live in．65. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. Family Relationships is Canada．B. The Boarder．C. My Landlady．D. Nursing Homes and the Aged．Passage TwoOverhead bridges are found in many parts of Beijing, especially in places where traffic is very heavy and crossing the road is dangerous.The purpose of these bridges is to enable pedestrians to cross roads safely. Overhead bridges are used to very much the same way as zebra crossings. They are more efficient although less convenient because people have to climb up a long flight of steps. This is inconvenient especially to older people. When pedestrians use an overhead bridge, they do not hold up traffic. However, when they cross a busy road using a zebra crossing, traffic is held up. This is why the government has built many overhead bridges to help pedestrians and to keep traffic moving at the same time.The government of Beijing has spent a large amount of money on building these bridges. For their own safety, pedestrians should be encouraged to use them instead of risking their lives by dashing across the road. Old people, however, may find it a little difficult climbing up and down the steps, but it is still much safer than walking across the road with all the danger of moving traffic.Overhead bridges serve a very useful purpose. Pedestrians, both old and young, should make it a habit to use them. This will prevent unnecessary accidents and loss of life.66. What is the advantage of overhead bridges mentioned in this passage?A. They are safer for pedestrians and can keep traffic moving at the same time.B. Pedestrians can climb up and have a view of the city.C. Taller trucks can pass under them.D. They are easier and more convenient for the pedestrians.67. Why were overhead bridges built in Beijing?A. Because they save money for the government.B. Because they provide an easy way for the drivers to cross the road.C. Because they prevent traffic from being held up.D. Because they save time for the pedestrians.68. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. Overhead bridges are found in places where traffic is heavy.B. Overhead bridges are only found in the centre of Beijing.C. Overhead bridges are found in many parts of big cities in China.D. Overhead bridges are found in every part of Beijing.69. The underlined words “a zebra crossing” probably mean ________.A. a safe place across a road for old people to rest inB. a wild animal from Africa that looks like a horse with broad dark brown and white stripes on itsbodyC. a safe place across a road for zebras to walk across the roadD. a safe place across a road for pedestrians to walk across the road70. What is the writer’s attitude towards overhead bridges?A. It is inconvenient to older people to walk across the road.B. To build overhead bridges is the business of the governmentC. An overhead bridge is more beautiful than a zebra crossing.D. It is much safer for pedestrians though climbing up and down the steps may be a little difficult.Passage ThreeThere was a time when, if a lady got onto a crowded bus or train, a gentleman would immediately stand up and offer her his seat. No more, though. T oday, a gentleman will probably look out of the window, or, if he feels a bit guilty, hide behind his newspaper. Either way, the lady will have to stand until someone else gets off.You can’t entirely blame men for this change in manners. The days are gone when women could be referred to as the weaker sex. A whole generation of women has grown up demanding equality with men; not just equality in jobs or education, but in social attitudes. Hold a door open for some women and you’re likely to get an angry lecture on treating women as inferiors (能力低下的人) unable to open door for themsel ves. Take a girl out for a meal and she’ll probably insist on paying her share of the bill; though on second thoughts, perhaps that’s not such a bad idea.It’s no wonder that men have given up some of the gestures of politeness and consideration which they used to show towards women. On the other hand, automatic male (man) politeness is perhaps slowly being replaced by true consideration for the needs of women, so that men can seewomen as equal human beings.Maybe that’s worth standing in the bus or train.71. Today, when a lady gets on a crowded bus or train, a gentleman would probably____ .A. stand up and offer her his seatB. read his newspaperC. look out of the windowD. not stand up and offer her his seat72. What men do towards women on a crowded bus or train is _____.A. really badB. strange enoughC. not entirely wrongD.entirely wrong73. The new generation of women wants to be _____.A. treated not as the weaker sexB. treated as the weaker sexC. cared for on buses and trainsD. better treated than before74. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT correct?A. Some women may get angry of you open the door for them.B. Girls don’t want you to pay for meal at all.C. Some women may criticize you if you show too much politeness to them.D. A girl may be unhappy if you insist on paying her share of the bill.75. From this passage, we know that____.A. women need true consideration of their needs and feelingsB. men have given up some politeness they used to show to womenC. women o ften get angry if you’re polite to themD. women should stand in the bus or trainPassage Four“Family” is of course an elastic word. But when British people say that their society is based on family life, they are thinking of “family” in its narrow, pecul iarly European sense of mother, father and children living together alone in their own house as an economic and social unit. Thus, every British marriage indicates the beginning of a new and independent family---hence the tremendous importance of marriage in British life.For both the man and the woman, marriage means leaving one’s parents and starting one’s own life. The man’s first duty will then be to his wife, and the wife’s to her husband. He will be entirely responsible for her financial support, and she for the running of the new home. Their children will be their common responsibility and t heirs alone. Neither the wife’s parents nor the husband′s, nor their brothers or sisters, aunts or uncles, have any right to interfere with them---they are their own masters.Readers of novels like Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice will know that in former times marriage among wealthy families were arranged by the girl’s parents, that is, it was the parents′ duty to find a suitable husband for their daughter, preferably a rich one, and by skillful encouragement to lead him eventually to ask their permission to marry her. Until that time, the girl was protected and maintained in the parents′ home, and the financial relief of getting rid of her could be seen in their giving the newly married pair a sum of money called a dowry (嫁妆). It is verydifferent today. Most girls of today get a job when they leave school and become financiallyindependent before their marriage. This has had two results.A girl chooses her own husband, and she gets no dowry.76. What does the author mean by “Family is of course an elastic word”?A. Different families have different ways of life.B. Different nations have different families.C. Different definitions could be given to the word.D. Different times produce different families.77. For an English family, the husband’s duty is ____.A. supporting the family while the wife is financialB. financial while the wife is running the homeC. defending the family while the wife is running the homeD. independent while the wife is dependent78. Everything is decided in a family ____.A. by brothers and sistersB. with the help of their parentsC. by the coupleD. with the help of aunts and uncles79. What is TRUE concerning the book Pride and Prejudice?A. It is the best book on marriage.B. It is a handbook of marriage.C. It provides a lot of information of former time wealthy families.D. It gives quite some idea of English social life in the past.80. With regard to marriage in Britain, present-day girls differ from former time girls in ____.A. social positionB. more parental supportC. choosing husbandsD. the right to marryPart IV.

It is widely celebrated, with different names, in many countries. Although it started as a religious holiday, it has lost its religious connections in the United States. It is now celebrated largely as a children’s day, and many American children look forward to it for days and weeks before-hand.The orange pumpkin is harvested at this time of year and is hollowed out, a funny face cut into it and a candle placed inside, and put in the window as a decoration. City folks, nowadays, sometimes use paper pumpkins for decorations.Some years ago, the holiday was celebrated by dressing up in strange and frightening costumes and playing tricks on one’s neighbors and friends, such as ringing door bell, throwing bits of corn at window panes, and making small troubles in other ways.More recently, children have begun to go door to door to have friends and neighbors admire their costumes and give treats of candy, fruit or cookies. They say, “Trick or Treat”, meaning, “I will play a trick on you if you don’t give me a treat.” This practice has even recently developed into an international activity. Instead of, or along with candy, children collect money for UNICEF (the United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund). This special collection of money by children for poor children throughout the world is known as “UNICEF Trick or Treat”.16. Halloween is a holiday that_____________.A.is celebrated as a children’s day all over the worldB.is for giving strange costumes to friendses from a religious dayD.is celebrated by UNICEF17.

Because of these devices, ideas andTelephone, television, radio, and the Internet help people communicate with each other. Because of these devices, ideas and news of events spread quickly all over the world. For example, news of disaster, such as a flood, can bring help from distant countries. Within hours, help is on the way. This is because modern technology information travels fast.How has this speed of communication changed the world? To many people, the world hasbecome smaller. Two hundred years ago, communication between the continents took a long time. All news was carried on ships that took weeks or even months to cross the ocean. In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, it took six weeks for news from Europe to reach the America. This time difference influenced people’s actions. For example, a few battles in the War of 1812 between England and the United State could have been avoided. A peace agreement had already been signed. Peace was made in England, but the news of peace took six weeks to reach America. During these six weeks, the large and serious Battle of New Orleans was fought. Many people lost their lives after a peace treaty had been signed. They would not have died of news had come in time. In the past, communication took much more time than it does now. There was a good reason why the world seemed so much larger than it does today.21. Thanks to _______, we can gain brand-new ideas and news of events from all over the world.A. DisastersB. EuropeC. Ocean travelD. modern technology22. What took six weeks a couple of hundred years ago?A. Ocean travel between Europe and America.B. The War of 1812 between the US and England.C.

Which is the most appreciate title for this passage?A.Modern Technology and CommunicationB. A Peace AgreementC.The UnnecessaryD.People in the Information AgePassage 3Questions 26-30 are based on the following passage.Dream is a story that a person “watches” or even takes part in during sleep. Dream events are imaginary, but they are related to real experience and needs in the dreamer’s life. They seem real while they are taking place.

Most dreams are related to events of the day before the dream and strong wishes of the dreamer. Many minor incidents of the hours before sleep appear in dreams. Few events more than two days old turn up. Deep wishes or fears- expecially those held since childhood-often appear in dreams, and many dreams fulfill such wishes. Events in the sleeper＇s surroundings-a loud noise, for example, may become part of a dream, but they do not cause dreams.Some dreams involve deep feelings that a person may not realize he has. Psychiatrists(精神病医生)often use material from a patient＇s dreams to help the person understand himself better.Dreaming may help maintain good learning ability, memory and emotional adjustment.

Do you like yellow, orange, or red? If you do, you must be an optimist(乐观主义者), a leader, an active person who enjoys life,people and excitement. Do you prefer greys and blues? Then you are probably quiet, shy, and you would rather follow than lead. You tend to be a pessimist(悲观主义者). At least, this is what psychologists tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of colours preference, as well as the effect that colours have on human beings. They tell us, among other facts, that we do not choose our favourite colour as we grow up—we are born with our preference. If you happen to love brown, you did so as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soonas you could see clearly. Colours do influence our moods—there is no doubt about it. A yellow room makes most people feel more cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one; and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day. On the other hand, black is depressing. A black bridge over the Thames River, near London, used to be the scene of more suicides(自杀)than any other bridge in the area —until it was repainted green. The number of suicide attempts immediately fell down sharply; perhaps it would have fallen even more if the bridge had been done in pink or baby blue. Light and bright colours make people not only happier but more active. It is an established fact that factory workers work better, harder, and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or grey.36．The sentence “You would rather follow than lead” in paragraph 1 means that you would______.A．like to lead followersB．like to be a leader rather than a followerC．be a member rather than a leaderD．be afraid of following others正确答案：C37．If one enjoys life, one is sure to prefer______.A．blue to yellowB．blue to orangeC．red to yellowD．red to grey正确答案：D38．Which of the following statements is true?A．People’ s preference of one colour to another is instinct.B．People’ s preference of one colour to another is acquired as they grow up.C．More people happen to love brown because they saw it when they were born.D．Factory workers meet fewer accidents when their machines are painted grey.正确答案：A39．Those who committed suicide preferred the bridge over the Thames River to others because of its______.A．shapeB．colourC．structureD．materials正确答案：B40．The main idea of the passage is that______.A．colours affect people’ s moodB．colours affect people’s characterC．bright colours make people more activeD．colours preference shows people’s courage正确答案：ACharlotte Hollins knows she faces a battle. The 23-year-old British farmer and her 21-year-old brother Ben are fighting to save the farm from the city developers that their father worked on since he was 14. While she is confident they will succeed, she lists farming’ s many challenges:” You don’t often get a day off. Supermarkets put a lot of pressure on farmers to keep prices down. With fewer people working on farms it can be isolating,” she said. “There is a high rate of suicide and farming will never make you rich! “Oliver Robinson, 25, grew up on a farm in Yorkshire. But he never considered staying on his father and grandfather’ s land. “I.’ m sure Dad hoped I’ d stay,” he said. “I guess it’ s a nice, straightforward life, but it doesn’ t appeal. For young ambitious people, farm life would be a hard world. “ For Robinson, farming doesn’t offer much in terms of money or lifestyle. Hollins agrees that economics stops people from pursuing farming rewards: “providing for a vital human need, while working outdoors with nature. “Farming is a big political issue in the UK. “Buy British”campaigns encourage consumers not to buy cheaper imported foods. The 2001 “food and mouth crisis” closed thousands of farms, stopped meat exports, and raised public consciousness of troubles in British farming. Jamie Oliver’ s 2005 campaign to get children to eat healthily also highlighted the issue. This national concern brings hope for farmers competing with powerful supermarkets. While most people buy food from the big supermarkets, hundreds of independent Farmers’Markets are becoming popular.41．Charlotte Hollins is talking about her feeling of a battle between______.A．the poor and the richB．farmers and city developersC．small markets and supermarketsD．young people and their parents正确答案：B42．In the eyes of Charlotte Hollins, ______makes fewer people work on farms.A．a low rate of suicideB．rich life of farmersC．hard life on the farmsD．high prices of farm products正确答案：C43．According to the passage, more and more young people leave their fathers’land because farming cannot offer______.A．a hard worldB．a vital human needC．a nice and straightforward lifeD．enough money and honourable life正确答案：D44．“Buy British” campaigns______.A．bring benefit to farmersB．closed thousands of farmsC．stopped meat exportD．ask children to eat British foods正确答案：A45．According to the passage, Farmers’Markets are becoming popular because______.A．thousands of farms are closedB．farmers are the owners of the marketsC．more people are concerned about healthy foodD．Jamie Oliver’ s 2005 campaigns urge people to “Buy British”正确答案：CNo one knows exactly how many disabled people(残疾人)there are in the world, but estimates suggest the figure is over 450 million. The number of disabled people in India alone is probably more than double the total population of Canada. In the United Kingdom, about one in ten people have some disability. Disability is not just something that happens to other people: as we get older, many of us will become less mobile, hard of hearing or have failing eyesight. Disablement can take many forms and occur at any time of life. Some people are born with disabilities. Many others become disabled as they get older. There are many progressive disabling diseases. The longer time goes on, the worse they become. Some people are disabled in accidents. Many others may have a period of disability in the form of a mental illness. All are affected by people’s attitude towards them. Disabled people face many physical barriers. Next time you go shopping or to work or visit friends, imagine how you would manage if you could not get up steps, or on to buses and trains. How would you cope if you could not see where you were going or could nothear the traffic? But there are other barriers: prejudice can be even harder to break down and ignorance inevitably represents by far the greatest barrier of all. It is almost impossible for the able-bodied to fully appreciate what the severely disabled go through, so it is important to draw attention to these barriers and show that it is the individual person and their ability, not their disability, which counts.46．The first paragraph tells us that______.A．the number of disabled people in India is the greatestB．there are less than 450 million disabled people in the worldC．there are more than 450 million disabled people in the worldD．the number of disabled people in India is equal to the total population of Canada正确答案：C47．The key word in paragraph 4 is______.A．ignoranceB．prejudiceC．disabilityD．barriers正确答案：D48．Which of the following statements is NOT true?A．There are about 10 percent disabled people in the UK.B．There still exists prejudice against the disabled because of ignorance.C．Even the able-bodied might lose some of their body functions when they get older.D．The whole society should pay attention to the barriers faced by the disabled people.正确答案：B49．The clause “which counts” in the last paragraph means that______.A．ability is the most importantB．disability is includedC．disability is consideredD．barriers is the most important正确答案：A50．It can be concluded from the passage that______.A．we should try our best to prevent disablementB．we should take a proper attitude towards the disabledC．the able-bodied will never fully understand the disabledD．both physical and mental barriers are hard to break down正确答案：BIt is really a surprise that after hundreds of years, educationists have still failed to design anything more efficient and reliable than examinations. It is claimed that examinations test what you know, but it is common knowledge that they more often do the exact opposite. They may be a good means of testing memory, or the skills of working rapidly under extreme pressure, but they can tell you nothing about a person’ s true ability. As anxiety-makers, examinations are second to none. That is because so much depends on them. They are the mark of success or failure in our society. Your whole future may be decided in one fateful day. No one can show his best in worry, or after a sleepless night, yet this is precisely what the examination system expects him to do. A good education should, among other things, train you to think for yourself. The examination system, however, does anything but that. What has to be learnt is laid down by a syllabus(教学大纲), so the student is encouraged to memorize. Examinations do not motivate a student to read widely, and they do not enable him to seek more and more knowledge. Furthermore, teachers themselves are often judged by the results of their students’examinations. Consequently, they have to train their students to master exam techniques which they dislike. The most successful candidates are not always the best educated but the best trained. The results on which so much depends are often nothing more than a subjective assessment by some anonymous(匿名的)examiners. They certainly make mistakes, because they have to mark mountains of scripts(答卷)in a limited amount of time. They work under the same sort of pressure as the candidates.51．The main idea of this passage is that examinations are______.A．anxiety-makersB．reliable and efficientC．harmful to educationD．good measures of memory正确答案：A52．It is clear that the author______examinations.A．argues forB．argues againstC．is indifferent toD．is interested in正确答案：B53．The fate of students is decided by______according to the passage.A．examinationB．teachingC．educationD．learning正确答案：A54．According to the author, the most importance of a good education is to______.A．encourage students to read widelyB．teach students how to tackle examsC．train students to think on their ownD．encourage students to seek more knowledge正确答案：C55．Which statement is NOT mentioned in the passage?A．Examinations can make students anxious.B．The examiners might make mistakes in marking.C．Teachers’ work is judged based on the results of examinations.D．Tools better than examinations to best students’ ability have been found.正确答案：DClozeWhen I come across a good article in reading newspapers, I often want to cut and keep it. But just as I am about to do so I find the【C1】______on the opposite side is as much interesting.
