A person who is down-to-earth is easy to talk 2 and accepts other people as equals. A down-to-earth person is just the 3 of someone who acts important or proud.Down-to-earth persons may be 4 members of society, of course. But they do not let their importance " 5 to their heads". They do not consider themselves to be better persons than 6 of less importance. Someone who is filled with his own importance and pride, 7 without cause, is said to have "his nose in the air". There is 8 way a person with his nose in the air can be down-to-earth.Americans 9 another expression that means almost the same as "down-to-earth". The expression is "both-feet-on-the-ground".

Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.When it comes to the slowing economy, Ellen Spero isn"t biting her nails just yet. But the 47-year-old manicurist isn"t cutting, tilling or polishing as many nails as she"d like to, either. Most of her clients spend $12 to $ 50 weekly, but last month two longtime customers suddenly stopped showing up. Spero blames the softening economy. "I"m a good economic indicator, " she says, "I provide a service that people can do without when they"re concerned about saving some dollars. " So Spero is downscaling, shopping at middle-brow Dillard"s department store near her suburban Cleveland home, instead of Neiman Marcus. "I don"t know if other clients are going to abandon me, too. " she says.Even before Alan Greenspan"s admission that America"s red-hot economy is cooling, lots of working folks had already seen signs of the slowdown themselves. From car dealerships to gap outlets, sales have been lagging for months as shoppers temper their spending. For retailers, who last year took in 24 percent of their revenue between Thanksgiving and Christmas, the cautiousapproach is coming at a crucial time. Already, experts say, holiday sales are off 7 percent from last year"s pace. But don"t sound any alarms just yet. Consumers seem only concerned, not panicked, and many say they remain optimistic about the economy"s long-term prospects, even as they do some modest belt-tightening.Consumers say they"re not in despair because, despite the dreadful headlines, their own fortunes still feel pretty good. In Manhattan, "there"s a new gold rush happening in the $ 4 million to $ 10 million range, predominantly fed by Wall Street bonuses, " says broker Barbara Corcoran. In San Francisco, prices are still rising even as frenzied overbidding quiets. "Instead of 20 to 30 offers, now maybe you only get two or three, " says John Deadly, a Bay Area real-estate broker. And most folks still feel pretty comfortable about their ability to find and keep a job. Many folks see silver linings to this slowdown. Potential homebuyers would cheer for lower interest rates. Employers wouldn"t mind a little fewer bubbles in the job market. Many consumers seem to have been influenced by stock-market swings, which investors now view as a necessary ingredient to a sustained boom. Diners might see an upside, too. Getting a table at Manhattan"s hot new Alain Ducasse restaurant need to be impossible. Not anymore. For that, Greenspan & Co. may still be worth toasting.第51题By "Ellen Spero isn"t biting her nails just yet" ( Line 1, Paragraph 1 ), the author means ______.A.Spero can hardly maintain her businessB.Spero is too much engaged in her workC.Spero has grown out of her bad habitD.Spero is not in a desperate situation第52题How do the public feel about the current economic situation?______A.Optimistic.B.Confused.C.Carefree.D.Panicked.第53题When mentioning "the $ 4 million to $10 million range" ( Line 2, Paragraph 3 ) the author is talking about ______.A.gold marketB.real estateC.stock exchangeD.venture investment第54题Why can many people see "silver linings" to the economic slowdown?______A.They would benefit in certain ways.B.The stock market shows signs of recovery.C.Such a slowdown usually precedes a boom.D.The purchasing power would be enhanced.第55题To which of the following is the author likely to agree?______A.A now boom, on the horizon.B.Tighten the belt, the single remedy.C.Caution all right, panic not.D.The more ventures, the more chances.上一题下一题(56~60/共15题)Section ⅢReading ComprehensionPart A Read the following texts and answer the questions which accompany them by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.The Village Green in New Milford, Connecticut, is a snapshot of New England charm: a carefully manicured lawn flanked by scrupulously maintained colonial homes. Babysitters dandle kids in the wooden gazebo, waiting for commuter parents to return from New York. On a lazy afternoon last week Caroline Nicholas, 16, had nothing more pressing to do than drink in the early-summer sunshine and discuss the recent events in town. " I don"t think a lot of older people knew there were unhappy kids in New Milford," she said, "I could see it coming. "In a five-day period in early June eight girls were brought to New Milford Hospital after what hospital officials call suicidal gestures. The girls, all between 12 and 17, tried a variety of measures, including heavy doses of alcohol, over-the-counter medicines and cuts or scratches to their wrists. None was successful, and most didn"t require hospitalization ; but at least two attempts, according to the hospital, could have been vital. Their reasons seemed as mundane as the other happen-stances of suburban life. "I was just sick of it all," one told a reporter, "Everything in life." Most alarming, emergency-room doctor Frederick Lohse told a local reporter that several girls said they were part of a suicide pact. The hospital later backed away from this remark. But coming in the wake of at least sixteen suicide at- tempts over the previous few months, this sudden cluster—along with the influx of media—has set this well-groomed suburb of 23, 000 on edge. At a town meeting last Wednesday night, Dr Simon Sobo, chief of psychiatry at the hospital, told more than 200 parents and kids, "We"re talking about a crisis that has really gotten out of hand." Later he added, "There have been more suicide attempts this spring than I have seen in the 13 years I have been here. "Sobo said that the girls he treated didn"t have serious problems at home or school. "Many of these were popular kids," he said, "They got plenty of love, but beneath the reassuring signs, a swath of teens here are not making it." Some say that drugs, Both pot and "real drugs", are commonplace. Kids have shown up with LIFE SUCKS and LONG LIVE DEATH penned on their arms.A few girls casually display scars on their arms where they cut them- selves. "You"d be surprised how many kids try suicide," said one girl, 17. "You don"t want to put pain on other people; you put it on yourself." She said she used to cut herself "just to release the pain".Emily, 15, a friend of three of the girls treated in June, said one was having family problems, one was "upset that day" and the third was "just upset with everything else going on". She said they weren"t really trying to kill themselves—they just needed concern. As Sobo noted, "What"s going on in New Milford is not unique to New Milford. " The same underlying culture of despair could be found in any town. But teen suicide, he added, can be a "contagion". Right now New Milford has the bug—and has it bad.第56题What is the main subject of the passage?______A.Eight gifts committed suicide in New Milford.B.The village Green is not a charming place.C.Teenager suicide.D.Dr. Simon Sobo"s achievements.第57题In the 3rd sentence of the first paragraph the word "pressing" is closest in meaning to ______.A.urgently importantB.pushingC.invitingD.charming第58题What is NOT true about the eight girls?______A.They are all between 12 and 17.B.They have tried a variety of measures.C.They attend a suicide squad.D.All their attempts to commit suicide are vital.第59题Which of the statements about the teens is NOT true?______A.They are ill-bred students in school.B.Some of them take "real drugs".C.Teens need attention.D.A few casually display scars on their arms.第60题According to the passage, the teens in Village Green can be called ______.A.depressed generationB.cool generationC.attractive generationD.prosperous generation上一题下一题(61~65/共15题)Section ⅢReading ComprehensionPart A Read the following texts and answer the questions which accompany them by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.The history of responses to the work of the artist Sandro Botticelli (1444 - 1510) suggests that widespread appreciation by critics is a relatively recent phenomenon. Writing in 1550, Vasari expressed an unease with Botticelli"s work, admitting that the artist fitted awkwardly into his evolutionary scheme of the history of art. Over the next two centuries, academic art historians defamed Botticelli in favor of his fellows Florentine, Michelangelo. Even when anti-academic art historians of the early nineteenth century rejected many of the standards of evaluation adopted by their predecessors, Botticelli"s work remained outside of accepted taste, pleasing neither amateur observers nor connoisseurs. ( Many of his best paintings, however, remained hidden away in obscure churches and private homes.The primary reason for Botticelli"s unpopularity is not difficult to understand: most observers, up until the mid-nineteenth century, did not consider him to be noteworthy, because his work, for the most part, did not seem to these observers to exhibit the traditional characteristics of the fifteenth-century Florentine art. For example, Botticelli rarely employed the technique of strict perspective and, unlike Michelangelo, never used chiaroscuro.Another reason for Botticelli"s unpopularity may have been that his attitude toward the style of classical art was very different from that of his contemporaries. Although he was thoroughly exposed to classical art, he showed little interest in borrowing from the classical style. Indeed, it is paradoxical that a painter of large-scale classical subjects adopted a style that was only slightly similar to that of classical art.In any case, when viewers began to examine more closely the relationship of Botticelli"s work to the tradition of the fifteenth century Florentine art, his reputation began to grow. Analyses and assessments of Botticelli made between 1850 and 1870 by the artists of the Pre-Raphaelite movement, as well as by the writer Pater ( although he, unfortunately, based his assessment on an incorrect analysis of Botticelli" s personality), inspired a new appreciation of Botticelli throughout the English-speaking world. Yet Botticelli"s work, especially the Sistine frescoes, did not generate worldwide attention until it was finally subjected to a comprehensive and scrupulous analysis by Home in 1908. Home rightly demonstrated that the frescoes shared important features with paintings by other fifteenth-century Florentines—features such as skillful representation of anatomical proportions, and of the human figure in motion. However, Home argued that Botticelli did not treat these qualities as ends in themselves—rather, that he emphasized clear depletion of a story, a unique achievement and one that made the traditional Florentine qualities less central. Because of Home"s emphasis crucial to any study of art, the twentieth century has come to appreciate Botticelli"s achievements.第61题Which of the following would be the best title for the text?______A.The Role of Standard Art Analyses and AppraisalsB.Sandro Botticelli: From Rejection to AppreciationC.The History of Critics" Responses to Art WorksD.Botticelli and Florentine: A Comparative Study第62题We can learn from the text that art critics have a history of ______.A.suppressing painters" art initiativesB.favoring Botticelli" s best paintingsC.rejecting traditional art characteristicsD.undervaluing Botticelli" s achievements第63题The views of Vasari and Home on Botticelli"s products are ______.A.identicalplementaryC.oppositeD.similar第64题The word "connoisseurs" ( Paragraph 1 ) most probably means ______.A.representatives in the Pre-Raphaelite MovementB.people who are in favor of FlorentineC.critics who are likely to make assessmentsD.conservatives clinging to classical art第65题What does the author think of Botticelli"s representation skills?______A.They are to be fully appreciated.B.They evolve from an uncertain source.C.They underlie his personality.D.They conform to the classical style.上一题下一题(66~70/共5题)Part B In the following article, some paragraphs have been removed. For Questions 66～70, choose the most suitable paragraph from the list A～F to fit into each of the numbered gaps. There is ONE paragraph which does not fit in any of the gaps. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.With unfamiliar human beings, when we acknowledge their humanness, we must avoid stating at them, and yet we must also avoid ignoring them. To make them into people rather than objects, we use a deliberate and polite inattention. We look at them long enough to, make it quite clear that we see them, and then we immediately look a- way.1The important thing in such an exchange is that we do not catch the eye of one whom we are recognizing as a person. We look at him without locking glances, and then we immediately look away. Recognition is not permitted.2If you pass someone in the street, you may eye the oncoming person until you are about eight feet apart, then you must look away as you pass. Before the eight-foot distance is reached, each will signal in which direction he will pass. This is done with a brief look in that direction. Each will veer slightly and the passing is done smoothly.3To strengthen this signal, you look directly at the other"s face before looking away.4It becomes impossible to discover just what they are doing. Are they looking at you too long, too intently? Are they looking at you at all? The person wearing the glasses feels protected and assumes that he can stare without being noticed in his staring. However, this is a self-deception. To the other person, dark glasses seem to indicate that the wearer is always staring at him.We often use this look-away technique when we meet famous people. We want to assure them we are respecting their privacy and that we would not dream of staring at them. The same is true of the crippled or physically handicapped. We look brief and then look away before the stare can be said to be a stare.5Of course, the opposite is also true. If we wish to put a person down, we may do so by staring longer than is acceptably polite. Instead of dropping our gazes when we lock glances, we continue to stare. The person who disapproves of interracial marriages or dating will stare rudely at the interracial couple. If he dislikes long hair, short dresses, or beards, he may show it with a longer-than-acceptable stare.A. There are different formulas for the exchange of glances depending on where the meeting takes place.B. In the subway or bus where long rides in very close circumstances are a necessity, we may be hard put to find some way of not staring. We sneak glances, but look away before our eyes canlock. If we look with an unfocused glance that misses the eyes and settles on the head, the mouth, the body for any place but the eyes is an acceptable looking spot for the unfocused glance.C. Actually in this way we are saying, in body language, "I know you are there, " and a moment later we add, "But-I would not dream of intruding on your privacy. "D. It is the technique we use for any unusual situation where too long a stare would be embarrassing. When we see an interracial couple, we also use this technique. We might use it when we see a man with an unusual beard, with extra longhair, with outlandish clothes, or a girl with a minimal miniskirt may attract this look- and-away.E. For this passing encounter Dr. Erving Goffman in behavior in public places says that the quick look and the lowering of the eyes is body language for, "I trust you. I am not afraid of you. "F. Sometimes the rules are hard to follow, particularly if one of the two people wears dark glasses.第66题第67题第68题第69题第70题上一题下一题(71~80/共10题)Part C Answer questions 71 ～80 by referring to the comments on 3 different cars in the following magazine articles. Note: Answer each question by choosing A, B or C and mark it on ANSWER SHEET 1. Some choices may be required more than once.A = Hydro powerB = Nuclear powerC = Solar powerD = Wind powerWhich power (power"s)...·was developed to provide electricity for satellites at the beginning? 1·can promote tourism development? 2·may give off dangerous radioactive pollution into the air? 3·may affect the downstream water quality and have an impact on plant life? 4·stations can increase to full power very quickly? 5·produces small amounts of waste? 6·is a good method of supplying energy to remote areas? 7·provides around 20% of the world"s electricity? 8·can be used to heat your water at home instead of so much gas or electricity? 9·is not renewable? 10A Hydro powerIntroductionWe have used running water as an energy source for thousands of years, mainly to grind corn. The first house in the world to be lit by hydroelectricity was Cragside House, in Northumberland, England, in 1878. In 1882 on the Fox River, in the USA, hydroelectricity produced enough power to light two paper mills and a house.Nowadays there are many hydro-electric power stations, providing around 20% of the world"s electricity. The name comes from "hydro", the Greek word for water.How it worksA dam is built to trap water, usually in a valley where there is an existing lake.Water is allowed to flow through tunnels in the dam, to turn turbines and thus drive generators. AdvantagesOnce the dam is built, the energy is virtually free.No waste or pollution produced.Much more reliable than wind, solar or wave power.Water can be stored above the darn ready to cope with peaks in demand.Hydro-electric power stations can increase to full power very quickly, unlike other power stations. DisadvantagesThe dams are very expensive to build.Building a large dam will flood a very large area upstream, causing problems for animals that used to live there.Finding a suitable site can be difficult—the impact on residents and the environment may be unacceptable.Water quality and quantity downstream can be affected, which can have an impact on plant life. Is it renewable?Hydro-electric power is renewable.The Sun provides the water by evaporation from the sea, and will keep on doing so.B Nuclear powerIntroductionNuclear power is generated using Uranium, which is a metal mined in various parts of the world. The first large-scale nuclear power station opened at Calder Hall in Cambria, England, in 1956. Some military ships and submarines have nuclear power plants for engines.How it worksNuclear power stations work in pretty much the same way as fossil fuel-burning stations, except that a "chain reaction" inside a nuclear reactor makes the heat instead.The reactor uses Uranium rods as fuel, and the heat is generated by nuclear fission. Neutrons smash into the nucleus of the uranium atoms, which split roughly in half and release energy in the form of heat.Carbon dioxide gas is pumped through the reactor to take the heat away, and the hot gas then heats water to make steam.AdvantagesNuclear power costs about the same as coal, so it"s not expensive to make.Does not produce smoke or carbon dioxide, so it does not contribute to the greenhouse effect. Produces huge amounts of energy from small amounts of fuel.Produces small amounts of waste.DisadvantagesAlthough not much waste is produced, it is very, very dangerous.It must be sealed up and buried for many years to allow the radioactivity to die away.Nuclear power is reliable, but a lot of money has to be spent on safety.Is it renewable?Nuclear energy from Uranium is not renewable.Once we"ve dug up all the Earth"s uranium and used it, there isn"t any more.C Solar powerIntroduction。

don’t you, please.When did you get to the university?mwmi arrived yesterday.Well...Are you living in the college?No, I am with an English family...actually...because I want to improve my speaking.WmwOh, fine.Right, did you take a language proficiency test before you came?Yes.Uhh...my Overall Band is 6, but...unfortunately my speaking is only 5.OK, you know, here in this university, you have to take our own English test before you attend any lectures.So, first of all, what we’ve got to do is, we have to make an arrangement for the test date.Umm...will tomorrow be all right for you?mw Yeah, I have time tomorrow morning.Good, then.Tomorrow at ten.I don’t think the test will be any problem for you.Now, let’s make sure you make full use of your timehere.Let’s put it like this.Wha t exactly do you want to accomplish in the next 12 months?mi’m interested in computer language translation, I mean, from English toChinese and Chinese to English.I’ll try, if possible, to produce a software or a device which can serve as an interpreter.WMYes, could you be a bit more specific about...er...the device?For instance, when, you talk to the device in English it will translate your words into Chinese and vice versa.WmwmwUhuh...do you mean it’ll be as competent as...er...a human interpreter?Yes...w ell, I’ll let it deal with general situations, at least.Fascinating...and how

four years of undergraduate study, I studied electronics, advancedMmathematics, hardware designing, some computer languages and program writing.Yes, but have you done anypractical jobsI mean, have you written anyWprograms for practical useI was involved in a project for CAD in a shipyard.mwThe computer aided design.That was probably a good experience, but, unfortunately, it may not help your present project much.Are you familiar with C-language?No.mwUhuh...the phonetic processing system, do you know how such a system works?What do you mean by "phonetic processing system" mwWell, you know, English is spoken by different people with different accents.Your English accent is different from mine, and of course mine is not the same as myc olleagues’.So as I see it, your device would have to be able to recognise and understand different accents.Oh, I see.I think I can learn C-language and a phonetic processing systemMhere.Well, that’s probably true, but you’ve got only 12 months and you want aWdegree, don’t you?Yes.mwOK, so there’re two ways of studying for a degree here.You either take six courses, pass their exams and have your dissertation accepted or the other way is you do some research work and submit your project report.mwmwI think I’l l take the second way.Fine, but are you sure you can finish your project in 12 months?I don’t know, but I can work 12 hours a day and 7 days a week.Well, I’d suggest you spend some time in our library, trying to find out what other students have done before and perhaps re-consider your own project, to some extent.You might narrow your research area, concentrating on solving one or two major problems.And, it’d be a good idea to talk to your colleagues in the lab, first.Anyway, I’m sure we can work out someth ing good.Shall I see you again in three days’ time?All right.I’ll go away and do some thinking.Then I’ll talk to you about myMnew plan.Good.See you then.WMThank you.Bye-bye.You now have 20 seconds to check your answers to

to Central College library services.My name’s Kathy Jenkins.I’ll give you a brief introduction to the library.We have a well-stocked bank of resources which are in three main locations: the library itself, with books and periodicals; the self-access language centre, with audio and video material; and the micro-computer lab.I’ll start with the micro-computer lab, or micro-lab as we call it.It is fitted with 24 personal computers.If you are a member of the library, you may borrow CALL discs in French, German, Italian, Spanish and Russian as well as English.By the way, CALL stands for computer aided language learning: C A double L, "CALL", for short.You may also borrow a range of word processing and desktop publishing packages.All disks are, of course, strictly for use in the micro-lab only.If you wish to print anything you should use one of the five machines around the outside of the room.Four are connected to dot matrix printers, one is connected to the laser printer.If you want a top quality printout from the laser printer, come and see myself or any of the library staff.Dot-matrix printouts are free but there is a charge for using the laser printer.There is always a queue to get to the terminals towards the end of e in and get to know how to use the computers early in the term and use them regularly, rather than just before exams and essay deadlines, in order to avoid delay or disappointment.Training sessions are held on a regular basis, on the first and third Thursday of each month, and are free to full-time students of the college.See you there.Now, any

percentage of students in business and management9.In terms of academic levels, in which level do we find the smallest number10.In summary, what did the speaker talk aboutTapescriptFor those of you who are either already studying in the United States or plan to one day, it might be interesting to know something about the foreign student population in the United States.For the academic year 1995/96 there was a total of approximately 344,000 foreign students studying in the United States.This figure of 344,000 may seem like a very large number until you compare it with the total population of 241,000,000.The foreign student population has been growing for a number of years and is still growing, but the rate of increase has dropped sharply during the 1990s.During the 1980s, the population grew quite rapidly.For example, between 1985 and 1990, the average yearly increase was 12.5%.However, the picture in the 1990s is quite different.The rate of increase has declined quite noticeably.In fact, the rate of increase between 1994/95 and 1995/96 was only .5%, or one-half of one percent.Although the overall rate of increase has dropped to only .5%, the number of students from some parts of the world is increasing while the number of students from other areas is decreasing.For example, during this same time period, that is between the academic years 94/95 and 95/96, there was a decrease in the number of students from the middle East, while the number of students from South and East Asia increased.These changes in the number of students coming from different parts of the world no doubt reflected changing economic and political situations.I’m sure you are aware of many of these changes, and perhaps we can discuss them at our next meeting.For today let’s confine our talk to first, a discussion of the origin of these students, or, in other words, where they come from; second, the kinds of studies they pursue; and, finally, the academic levels they are found in.If we have a little time left, we might quickly discuss in which geographic areas most of them go to school.Let’s discuss the origins of the foreign student population in the United States for the academic year 1995/96.Let’s discuss it in order from those areas sending the most students to those areas sending the fewest students.If we look at the figures provided by the annual census of foreign students in the United States for the year 1995/96, we see that most of the foreign students studying in the United States during this year were from South and East Asia.This is a rather large geographical area which includes such countries as China, Korea, Pakistan, India, Malaysia, andIndonesia.The total number of students from this area, South and East Asia was 156,830.In other words, roughly 2 out of every 5 foreign students come from South and East Asia.Almost 24,000 of this total were from China.Malaysia was close behind with just a little over 23,000 students.The?next largest number of students came from the middle East.The number of students from the middle East came to about one-third the number from South and East Asia.The fourth largest number came from South America.Next came Europe, Africa, Nort h America, and Oceania.Let’s recapitulate what we’ve said.The largest number of students studying in the United States during the academic year 1995/96 were from South and East Asia, followed by the middle East, South America, Europe, Africa, North America, and Oceania.What fields are these large numbers of foreign students studying inIt probably won’t surprise you to learn that the largest number are in the field of engineering.In fact, 21.7% of the total number are studying engineering.Business and management is close behind, however, with a total of 18.9%.The third most popular field was mathematics and computer sciences with 10.3%.As you can see, engineering with 21.7%, business and management with 18.9%, and mathematics and computer sciences with 10.3% comprise about one half of the total number of foreign students.Let’s talk about which academic levels these students can be found in.Foreign students can be found studying at all levels of higher education.As you might expect, the greatest number of them are studying at the undergraduate level?approximately 158,000.The second largest group study at the graduate level and that number is just under 122,000.The rest study at junior colleges or in non-degree programs.It is at the graduate level that foreign students have the most impact.While foreign students comprise only 2.7% of the total U.S.student population, they account for 8.7% of all the graduate students studying at U.S.institutions.Let me give you those percentages again so you can get a better feel for the overall picture.Foreign students make up only 2.75 of the total U.S.student population, but they make up 8.7% of the total graduate student population.Well, I see that’s all the time we have today.We’ll have to leave discussions of the geographic areas these students study in until another time.Now you are going to hear the talk a second time.REPEAT THE TEXTYou now have 3 minutes to check your answers to

answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.Text 1In recent years, there has been a steady assault on salt from the doctors: salt is bad for youregardless of your health.Politicians also got on board."There is a direct relationship," US congressman Neal Smith noted, "between the amount of sodium a person consumes and heart disease, circulatory disorders, stroke and even early death."Frightening, if true! But many doctors and medical researchers are now beginning to feel the salt scare has gone too far."All this hue and cry about eating salt is unnecessary," Dr.Dustan insists."For most of us it probably doesn’t make much difference how much salt we eat." Dustan’s most recent short-term study of 150 people showed that those with normal blood pressure experienced no change at all when placed on an extremely low-salt diet, or later when salt was reintroduced.Of the hypertensive subjects, however, half of those on the low-salt diet did experience a drop in blood pressure, which returned to its previous level when salt was reintroduced."An adequate to somewhat excessive salt intake has probably saved many more lives than it has cost in the general population," notes Dr.Johnragh."So a recommendation that the whole population should avoid salt makes no sense."Medical experts agree that everyone should practice reasonable "moderation" in salt consumption.For the average person, a moderate amountmight run from four to ten grams a day, or roughly 1/2 to 1/3 of a teaspoon.The equivalent of one to two grams of this salt allowance would come from the natural sodium in food.The rest would be added in processing, preparation or at thetable.Those with kidney, liver or heart problems may have to limit dietary salt, if their doctor advises.But even the very vocal "low salt" exponent, Dr.Arthur Hull Hayes, Jr.admits that "we do not know whether increased sodium consumption causes hypertension." In fact, there is growing scientific evidence that other factors may be involved: deficiencies in calcium, potassium, perhaps magnesium; obesity (much more dangerous than sodium); genetic predisposition; stress."It is not your enemy," says ragh."Salt is the No.1 natural component of all human tissue, and the idea that you don’t need it is wrong.Unless your doctor has proven that you havea salt-related health problem, there is no reason to give it up."1.According to some doctors and politicians, the amount of salt consumed[A] exhibits as an aggravating factor to people in poor health.[B] cures diseases such as stroke and circulatory disorders.[C] correlates highly with some diseases.[D] is irrelevant to people suffering from heart disease.2.From Dr.Dustan’s study we can infer that[A] a low-salt diet may be prescribed for some people.[B] the amount of salt intake has nothing to do with one’s blood pressure.[C] the reduction of salt intake can cure a hypertensive patient.[D] an extremely low-salt diet makes no difference to anyone.3.In the third paragraph, ragh implies that[A] people should not be afraid of taking excessive salt.[B] doctors should not advise people to avoid salt.[C] an adequate to excessive salt intake is recommended for people in disease.[D] excessive salt intake has claimed some victims in the general population.4.The phrase "vocal ...exponent" (line 2, para.4) most probably refers to[A] eloquent doctor.[B] articulate opponent.[C] loud speaker.[D] strong advocate.5.What is the main message of this text[A] That the salt scare is not justified.[B] That the cause of hypertension is now understood.[C] That the moderate use of salt is recommended.[D] That salt consumption is to be promoted.Part BIn the following article some paragraphs have been removed.For Questions 1 - 5, choose the most suitable paragraph from the list A - F to fit into each of the numbered gaps.There is one paragraph which does not fit in any of the gaps.Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.From her vantage point she watched the main doors swing open and the first arrivals pour in.Those who had been at the head of the line paused momentarily on entry, looked around curiously, then quickly moved forward as others behind pressed in.Within moments the central public area of the big branch bank was filled with a chattering, noisy crowd.The building, relatively quiet less than a minute earlier, had become a Babel.Edwina saw a tall heavyset black man wave some dollar bills and declare loudly, "I want to put my money in the bank"1It seemed as if the report about everyone having come to open an account had been accurate after all.Edwina could see the big man leaning back expansively, still holding his dollar bills.His voice cut across the noise of other conversations and she heard him proclaim, "I’m in no hurry.There’s something I’d like you to explain."Two other desks were quickly manned by other clerks.With equal speed, long wide lines of people formed in front of them.Normally, three members of staff were ample to handle new account business, but obviously were inadequate now.Edwina could see Tottenhoe on the far side of the bank and called him on the intercom.She instructed, "Use more desks for new accounts and take all the staff you can spare to man them."2Tottenhoe grumbled in reply, "You realize we can’t possibly process all these people today, and however many we do will tie us up completely.""I’ve an idea," Edwina said, "that’s what someone has in mind.Just hurry the processing all you can."3First, an application form called for details of residence, employment, social security, and family matters.A specimen signature was obtained.Then proof of identity was needed.After that, the new accounts clerk would take all documents to an officer of the bank for approval and initialing.Finally, a savings passbook was made out or a temporary checkbook issued.Therefore the most new accounts that any bank employee could open in an hour were five, so the three clerks presently working might handlea total of ninety in one business day, if they kept going at top speed, which was unlikely.4Still the noise within the bank increased.It had become an uproar.A further problem was that the growing mass of arrivals in the central public area of the bank was preventing access to tellers’ counters by other customers.Edwina could see a few of them outside, regarding the milling scene with consternation.While she watched, several gave up and walked away.Inside the bank some of the newcomers were engaging tellers in conversation and the tellers,having nothing else to do because of the melee, chatted back.Two assistant managers had gone to the central floor area and were trying to regulate the flood of people so asto clear some space at counters.They were having small success.5She decided it was time for her own intervention.Edwina left the platform and a railed-off staff area and, with difficulty, made her way through the milling crowd to the main front door.A.Yet she knew however much they hurried it would still take ten to fifteen minutes to open any single new account.It always did.The paperwork required that time.B.But still no hostility was evident.Everyone in the now jam-packed bank who was spoken to by members of the staff answered politely and with a smile.It seemed, Edwina thought, as if all who were here had been briefed to be on best behavior.C.A security guard directed him, "Over there for new accounts." The guard pointed to a desk where a clerka young girl?sat waiting.She appeared nervous.The big man walked toward her, smiled reassuringly, and sat down.Immediately a press of others moved into a ragged line behind him, waiting for their turn.D.Even leaning close to the intercom, it was hard to hear above the noise.E.Even tripling the present complement of clerks would permit very few more than two hundred and fifty accounts to be opened in a day, yet already,in the first few minutes of business, the bank was crammed with at least four hundred people,with still more flooding in, and the line outside, which Edwina rose to check, appeared as long as ever.F.Obviously someone had alerted the press in advance, which explained the presence of the TV camera crew outside.Edwina wondered who had done it.Part CAnswer questions 1-10 by referring to the comments on 3 different cars in the following magazine article.Note: Answer each question by choosing A, B or C and mark it on ANSWER SHEET 1.SECTION IV: WritingYou have read an article in a magazine with the following statement in it.Write an article for the same magazine.You should use your own ideas, knowledge or experience to generate support for your argument and include an example.You should write about 250 words.Write your article on ANSWER SHEET 2."Economic development will inevitably generate industrial waste which in turn will cause pollution to the living environment.Economic prosperity and a clean environment can not coexist.You have to make a choice between the two."To what extent do you agree with the statement?Oral Test(For examiner)Part A: Self-introduction (This task will take about 2 minutes.)Interlocutor:Good morning (afternoon/evening).Could I have your mark sheets, pleaseThank you.(Hand over the mark sheets to the Assessor.)My name is … and this is my colleague….He/she is not going to ask you any questions, but he/she is just going to be listening to us.So, your name is … and …Thank you.First of all we’d like to know something about you, so I’m going to ask you some questions about yourselves.(Begin with candidate A, then move on to candidate B) Now (say the name of the candidate and ask the questions).Home Town· Where are you from?· How long have you lived there?· What’s it like living there?· How does your home town compare with (place where candidate is currently living)· Well, that’s interesting.。

I went to a nursery school first at the age of four, but this was totally voluntary. There was a good kindergarten in our neighbourhood, so my parents decided to send me there for a year.M: Can you still remember it?J: Yes, I have faint, but very pleasant memories of it. It was a delightful place, full of fun and games. As in most nursery schools, work—if you can call it that consisted of story telling, drawing, singing and dancing.M: You probably don’t remember, but you must have missed it when you left—you know, when you went to the Infant School at five.J: I suppose I must have, but you know, right up to the age of seven, school life was very pleasant. It was only later in Junior School we began to have more formal lessons and even worry about exams.M: Really? Did you have to take exams at that age?J: Yes, we used to then. We had to take an exam at the age of eleven called the “eleven-plus”to see what kind of secondary school we would get into. But this exam is slowly disappearing nowadays.M: There are four main types of secondary school, aren’t there?J: Yes. Most of the brighter children go to a grammar school, some go to a technical school, and the majority go to a secondary modem. And then there are the comprehensive schools which cater for all levels of academic ability. These are becoming more and more important.M: I must say I find your educational system rather complicated, and to make matters worse, you call your private schools public schools!J: Yes, I suppose it is very confusing. But like so many other things in Britain, our educational system is deeply rooted in tradition and yet it’s changing all the time.M: Really? In what ways is it changing?J: Well, in almost every way. For instance, there is a very strong movement now towards comprehensive schools, where all children go for their secondary education no matter what their ability or background. There are already many of these schools, and many children are no longer tested by examination at the age of eleven to be placed in schools according toacademic ability. And then again, public schools will probably become part of the State system some day.M: But won’t the wealthy always be in a privileged position? They’ll always be able to send their children to the best private schools in the country.J. Not necessarily. If independent schools join the state system and we do away with the idea of grammar schools for the clever and secondary modern schools for those less bright, then every child should have an equal opportunity to do well and to go on to higher education.1．John was in a nursery school for one year,A．RightB．Wrong正确答案：A2．The work in the kindergarten includes story retelling, drawing, singing and studying.A．RightB．Wrong正确答案：B3．John went to Junior School at the age of five,A．RightB．Wrong正确答案：B4．Some children still have to take an exam called “eleven-plus” nowadays.A．RightB．Wrong正确答案：A5．In Britain, secondary schools consist of grammar schools, technical schools, comprehensive schools and academic schools.A．RightB．Wrong正确答案：B6．Most children go to a grammar school.A．RightB．Wrong正确答案：B7．Comprehensive schools can satisfy all levels of academic abilities.A．RightB．Wrong正确答案：A8．A private school was called a public school in Britain.A．RightB．Wrong正确答案：A9．According to Martin, the riches have the priority choosing the best schools for their children.A．RightB．Wrong正确答案：A10．John thinks that if people give up some traditional ideas, every child will have a chance to go to college.A．RightB．Wrong正确答案：APart BDirections: You will hear 3 conversations or talks and you must answer the questions by choosing A, B, C or D.

This morning has been a real mess, I didn’t think I was going to make it here at all.W: Why are you late? Our presentation depends on those graphs you are holding.M: Yes, I know. I’ll tell you about it later. First, let’s see how we are doing for time. Two groups are still ahead of us, aren’t they?

What happened?M: I’ve been standing outside in arctic temperatures for over an hour waiting for a bus.W: Over an hour. But I thought your apartment was only a ten minute bus ride to campus.M: In normal conditions, but the bus was delayed because of the weather, and when I stopped in a drug store to call home for a ride, the bus went by. As luck would have it there was no one at home, so I had to wait another forty-five minutes for the next bus.W: That’s Murphy’s Law, isn’t it? What did it say? If anything can go wrong, it will.

No doubt the store was filled with last-minute Christmas shoppers and the staff were dead beating and longing to get home. Presumably all the proper security checks were made before the store was locked and they left to enjoy the three-day holiday untroubled by customers desperate to get last-minute Christmas presents. However that may be, our tramp found himself alone in the store and decided to make the best of it. There was food, drink, bedding and camping equipment, of which he made good use. There must also have been television sets and radios. Though it was not reported if he took advantage of these facilities, when the shop re-opened, he was discovered in bed with a large number of empty bottles beside him. He seems to have been a man of good humour and philosophic temperament—as indeed vagrants very commonly are. Everyone else was enjoying Christmas, so he saw no good reason why he should not do the same. He submitted, cheerfully enough, to being taken away by the police. Perhaps he had a better Christmas than usual. He was put into prison for seven days. The judge awarded no compensation to the chain store for the food and drink our tramp had consumed. They had, in his opinion, already received valuable free publicity from thecoverage the story received in the newspapers and on television. Perhaps the judge had a good Christmas too.14．The tramp was locked in the storeA．for his own mistakes.B．due to a misunderstanding.C．by accident.D．through an error of judgment.正确答案：C15．What action did the tramp take?

Of course, this is not surprising. Without the nose, we could not breathe nor smell. It is a part of the face that gives a person special character. Cyrano de Bergerac said that a large nose showed a great man courageous, courteous, manly, and intellectual. A famous woman poet wished that she had two noses to smell a rose! Blaise Pascal, a French philosopher, made an interesting comment about Cleopatra’s nose. If it had been shorter, he said, it would have changed the whole face of the world!Historically, man’s nose has had a principal role in his imagination. Man has referred to the nose in many ways to express his emotions. Expressions concerning the nose refer to human weakness: anger, pride, jealousy and revenge. In English there are a number of phrases about the nose. For example, to hold up one’s nose expresses a basic human feeling—pride. People can hold up their noses at people, things, and places.The phrase, to be led around by the nose, shows man’s weakness. A person who is led around by the nose lets other people control him. On the other hand, a person who follows his nose lets his instinct guide him.For the human emotion of rejection, the phrase to have one’s nose put out of joint is very descriptive. The expression applies to persons who have been turned aside because ofa rival. Their pride is hurt and they feel rejected. This expression is not new. It was used by Erasmus in 1542.This is only a sampling of expressions in English dealing with the nose. There are a number of others. However, it should be as plain as the nose on your face that the nose is more than an organ for breathing and smelling!17．What is this passage mainly about?A．The human nose as an organ for breathing and smelling.B．The nose providing us with various expressions.C．A woman poet’s wish to have two noses.D．Interesting comments made on Cleopatra’s nose.正确答案：B18．What does “A person who is led around by the nose” mean?A．A person who lets his instinct guide him.B．A person who has no will of his own.C．A person who is decisive.D．A person who is full of imagination and creativity.正确答案：B19．Who can be described as “a man to have his nose put out of joint”?A．A gay man.B．A sick man.C．A man who wants to smell a flower.D．A man who feels hurt and depressed.正确答案：D20．What does “it is as plain as the nose on your face” mean?A．It is easy to solve.B．Something looks like your nose.C．It is something quite understandable.D．There is a plain-looking nose on your face.正确答案：CPart CDirections: You will hear a talk.

There are several things you can do to make your oral presentations clear and easy tounderstand. The Cumdamental point to realize is that speech and writing are different. If you want to be best understood, you can’t simply read your written report aloud. The biggest difference between spoken and written language is that readers can look back over the printed words when they don’t understand. In spoken language, however, listeners can’t go back and check the words. They can rely only on memory. So the first principle to keep in mind when you’re planning to speak in public is that you have to help the listener’s memory. This means that an oral report can’t deliver information as rapidly as a written report. That is, you can’t have as many pieces of new information packed into the same number of words, because they will come at too fast a rate for the listener to understand. In an oral report, the rate of delivery has to be slower. One of the best ways to help your audience is simply to speak slowly. Many people speak too fast when they speak to a group. This is a mistake, especially if you have a foreign accent, because it makes listening more difficult. Beyond the simple technique of speaking more slowly when you speak before a group, there are ways of organizing your presentation that can help the listener be clear and understand your main points. The organization of your talk should allow enough time for the listener to think both before and after each new idea. The purpose of the time before the new information is to give the audience a chance to understand the background clearly. Knowledge of the background, or setting of the information, makes it much easier to anticipate what kind of information is coming next. If the new information occurs too early, without enough background, the listeners should not be prepared with enough background to be able to predict what’s coming. I’ve been describing the time for thinking before the new information. It’s also important to provide time for thinking after the new information. This thinking time allows listeners to fit the idea into their general knowledge of the subject. Thinking time gives the listener a chance to make sure that the idea was understood before going on to the next new idea. There are three general ways to give the listener time for thinking and time after a point of new information. One way is simply to pause. A moment of silence gives the listener time to take in the new information, but there are other ways. A second method is to use a paraphrase. That is, you say the same thing, but in different words. This paraphrase, or repetition of the idea, helps the listeners to fix the thought in their memory. A third way to give the listener time to think is to use words that don’t mean much. These are words that convey no information, but just fill in time. For instance, you might say something like “as I’ve been saying” or “and so forth” and “and so on”. That kind of expression doesn’t really say anything. It’s just made of what we call “filler words”. The words have no real meaning, but they do perform a useful function, since they allow the listener time to think. In summary, then, we know that oral language should deliver information at a slower rate than you can use in written language. New information should be presented more gradually. Thinking time should be provided both before and after each important new item. The time before is to provide a background so that the listeners can have a chance to anticipate the idea. The time after is to allow the listeners a chance to understand what they just heard. The three most common ways to allow this thinking time are: (1) to pause, (2) to paraphrase, and (3) to use filler words. I hope that these advices willhelp make your oral presentations a great success.21．Besides the form of reports, in what other forms can we give oral presentations?正确答案：Answers to questions．22．What’s the essential point we should realize about speech and writing?正确答案：They are different．23．What can the listeners rely on when they are listening?正确答案：Their memory．24．What’s one of the best ways to help your audience?正确答案：To speak slowly．25．Besides the problem of speaking too fast, what else will make listening more difficult?正确答案：A foreign accent.26．Before delivering the new information, what should the speaker give his audience?正确答案：Time for thinking．27．After delivering the new information, why should the speaker also give his audience some time?正确答案：To take information．28．What does repetition of ideas mean?正确答案：To paraphrase．29．What’s the third method mentioned here to give the listener time for think?正确答案：Use filler words.30．Can you give an example of “filler words”?正确答案：And so on./And so forth.Section II Use of English (15 minutes) Directions: Read the following text and fill each of the numbered spaces with ONE suitable word. Write your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.31．You may say that the business of marking books is going to slow down your reading. (31) probably will. That’s one of the (32) for doing it. Most of us have been taken in by the notion that speed of (33) is a measure of our intelligence. There is (34) such thing as the fight (35) for intelligent reading. Some things should be (36) quickly and effortlessly, and some should be read (37) and even laboriously. The sign of intelligence (38) reading is the ability to read (39) things differently according to their worth. In the (40) of good books, the point is not to see how many of them you can get through, (41) how many can you get through, how many you can (42) your own. A few friends are (43) than a thousand acquaintances. If this be your goal, (44) it should be, you will not be impatient if it takes more time and effort to read a great book than it (45) a newspaper. You may have another objection to (46) books. You can’t lend them to your friends (47) nobody else can read them (48) being distracted by your notes. What’s more, you won’t want to lend them because a (49) copy is a kind of intellectual diary, and (50) it is almost like giving your mind away. If your friend hopes to read your “Shakespeare”, or “The Federalist Papers”, tell him, gently but firmly, to buy a copy. You will lend him your car or your coat, but your books are as much a part of you as your head or your heart.正确答案：It解析：此空上一句意为”你可能会说阅读时做标记会减慢你的阅读速度”。

国家公共英语五级(阅读理解)练习试卷4(题后含答案及解析)
国家公共英语五级（阅读理解）练习试卷4(题后含答案及解析) 题型有：1.Opinion polls are now beginning to show a reluctant consensus that, whoever is to blame and whatever happens from now on, high unemployment is probably here to stay. This means we shall have to find ways of sharing the available employment more widely. But we need to go further. We must ask some fundamental questions about the future of work. Should we continue to treat employment as the norm? Should we not rather encourage many other ways for self-respecting people to work? Should we not create conditions in which many of us can work for ourselves, rather than for an employer? Should we not aim to revive the household and the neighborhood, as well as the factory and the office, as centers of production and work? The industrial age has been the only period of human history in which most people’s work has taken the form of jobs. The industrial age may now be coming to an end, and some of the changes in work patterns which it brought may have to be reversed. This seems a daunting thought. But, in fact, it could offer the prospect of a better future for work. Universal employment, as its history shows, has not meant economic freedom. Employment became widespread when the enclosures of the 17th and 18th centuries made many people dependent on paid work by depriving them of the use of the land, and thus of the means to provide a living for themselves. Then the factory system destroyed the cottage industries and removed work from people’s homes. Later, as transport improved, first by rail and then by road, people commuted longer distances to their places of employment until, eventually, many people’s work lost all connection with their home lives and the places in which they lived. Meanwhile, employment put women at a disadvantage. In pre-industrial times, men and women had shared the productive work of the household and village community. Now it became customary for the husband to go out to paid employment, leaving the unpaid work of the home and family to his wife. Tax and benefit regularities still assume this norm today, and restrict more flexible sharing of work roles between the sexes. It was not only women whose work status suffered. As employment became the dominant form of work, young people and old people were excluded —a problem now, as more teenagers become frustrated at school and more retired people want to live active lives. All this may not have to change, the time has certainly come to switch some effort and resources away from the Utopian goal of creating jobs for all, to the urgent practical task of helping many people to manage without full-time jobs.1．Research carried out in recent opinion polls shows that ______.A．available employment should be restricted to a small percentage of the populationB．new jobs should be created in order to rectify high unemployment figuresC．available employment must be more widely distributed among the unemployedD．the present high unemployment figures are a fact of life正确答案：D解析：从第一段来看，很容易选择C，但是原文的意思是失业还存在，我们应该把现有的就业机会更广泛地进行分布，并没有说要把就业机会分给失业者。

国家公共英语（五级）口试历年真题试卷汇编4(题后含答案及解析) 题型有：1. 考生个人情况介绍 2. 考生相互问答 3. 继续性问答考生个人情况介绍1．Interlocutor: Good morning(afternoon/evening). Could I have your mark sheets, please? Thank you.(Hand over the mark sheets to the Assessor.)My name is... and this is my colleague.. .He/She is not going to ask you any questions, but he/she is just going to be listening to us.So, your name is. . . and. . . ? Thank you.First of all we’d like to know something about you, so I’m going to ask you some questions about yourself.(Begin with Candidate A, then move on to Candidate B.)Now. . .(say the name of the candidate and ask the questions.)Hometown Where are you from? How long did you live there? What’s it like living there? How does your hometown compare with...(place where the candidate is currently living)?Family What about your family? Could you tell us something about it?Work/StudyWhat do you do in...(the candidate’ s hometown), do you work or study? If the candidate has already started work: What does your work involve? Is your job something you have always wanted to do? How long do you think you will stay in this job?If the candidate is still at school, college or university: What are your favorite subjects at school? What exactly are you studying? What type of work are you hoping to do in the future? What qualifications will you need to do that?正确答案：Interlocutor: Good morning. Could I have your mark sheets, please? Thank you. My name is Jiao Tong, and this is my colleague Xu Fan. She is not going to ask you any questions, but she is just going to be listening to us. So your name is Wang Kai and you are Gao Feng? Thank you. First of all we’d like to know something about you, so I’m going to ask you some questions about yourselves. Wang Kai, where are you from?Wang: I’m from Fushun. But I’m now living and working in Shenyang.Interlocutor: How long did you live there?Wang: 25 years, until I came to the Northeast University in Shenyang to work.Interlocutor: What is it like living there?Wang: Well, very convenient, I should say. Fushun is an industrial city. Not very big, but it is easy for you to go to work, to visit your friends or go shopping. The only thing I don’t like is its weather.Interlocutor: How does your hometown compare with Shenyang?Wang: To say it frankly, I like Shenyang better. It is big and modern. There are many more opportunities for education and jobs.Interlocutor: All right. Gao Feng, where are you from?Gao: I’m from Shenyang. I’ ve been living here all my life.Interlocutor: How do you like Shenyang?Gao: It’ s a nice place to live in, as the center of culture, politics and economy of the province. The traffic is highly developed.Interlocutor: Are there anything you dislike?Gao: Yes. It’ s a bit crowded with over 7 million people. And it is very windy in spring. When there is a sandstorm, you can hardly move against the wind.Interlocutor: Is there any other places that you would like to live in very much?Gao: Yes.考生相互问答2．DiscussionTopic: Buying a HouseNow, ...(say the names of Candidate A and Candidate B), here is a list of factors to consider when you buy a house.(Hand out the list to the candidates and let them read it through.)What are the most and least important factors you are considering when you are buying a house? I’ d like each of you to choose three from the list and tell each other why. If you hold different opinions you may argue and you may also add your own ideas that are not listed here. You just talk to each other and I won’ t join you. You have 5 minutes. All right. Would you begin?(The interlocutor may sit back and intervene only when necessary.)Factors for Buying a House: cost location size community service structure quality social status environment正确答案：Gao: I’ m not a rich man. But with the rising living standard and the healthier development of real estate, it seems quite possible that I will be able to buy a house soon. Well, for me, the most important thing is comfort. Is it big enough? Is it well-structured? Is it supported by good community service? What about you?Wang: I am a little different from you. I will first of all consider cost. If I cannot afford it, it is meaningless however comfortable it is. And location—I want to buy a house near my office downtown. Isn’t that important to you?Gao: I am afraid not. If I can buy a house away from the town at a lower price, I will use the money saved to buy a car and drive to work. It is a wonderful way to enjoy life. So, I think location is the least important.Wang: But I think the least important thing is social status. I don’t care whether I am living in “ the noble community” . As a matter of fact, I don’t want my child to rub shoulders with those children from rich families. That’s why I think environment is also important to me.Gao: You mean cultural environment or natural environment?Wang: Cultural environment.Gao: I see, like Mencius’s mother, who moved three times just because of the neighbors who were not decent and well-educated. I think people living in the neighborhood are more and more diversified.Wang: I cannot agree more. But I’ m sure there are places where there are more educated people.继续性问答3．Interlocutor: Now, in this part of the test I’ m going to give each of you a list of three different topics. I’d like you to select one of the topics and give a short presentation of about 2 minutes.When. . .(say the name of Candidate A)has finished talking, I’d like you, ...(say the name of Candidate B), to ask him/her one or two questions. You may make notes while you are preparing and take notes while the other person is talking.All right? Here are your topics.(Hand over the Topic Card, A &B, and some blank paper and a pencil to each candidate.)Now you’ll have 2 minutes to prepare.(The candidates are given 2 minutes.)All right. Now. . .(say the name of Candidate A), would you begin by telling us which topic you have chosen and thengive your presentation, please?(Listen to the presentation of Candidate A.)Thank you. Now. . .(say the name of Candidate B), would you like to ask. . .(say the name of Candidate A)some questions?(Allow a maximum of 2 questions by Candidate B, followed by one more question by the interlocutor.)Now. . .(say the name of Candidate B), would you begin by telling us which topic you have chosen and then give your presentation, please?(Listen to the presentation of Candidate B.)Thank you. Now. . .(say the name of Candidate A), would you like to ask. . .(say the name of Candidate B)some questions?(Allow a maximum of 2 questions by Candidate A, followed by one more question by the interlocutor.)CLOSURE(The interlocutor winds up the oral test by referring to the topics of both candidates.)正确答案：Interlocutor: All right. Now, Wang Kai would you like to begin first by telling us which topic you have selected and give the presentation, please? Wang: I’d love to. I would like to say something about smoking, that is, whether university students should be allowed to smoke. In my opinion, university students should not be allowed to smoke on campus. The reasons are as follows: In the first place, university students are around 19 to 23 years old, still not fully mature either physically or psychologically. Smoking may affect the healthy growth of their young bodies and leave a lot of regrets. Secondly, smoking on campus pollutes the environment. Though all the universities have strict rules and non-smoking classrooms and offices, it is still not unusual to smell the smoke or to spot cigarette butts. This is particularly evident in winter when windows are often closed. Finally, smoking may help develop bad manners sub-consciously. Once one becomes addicted to smoking, it will be difficult for him or her to choose the time and place to smoke. To those non-smoking students and teachers, it is extremely impolite and offensive. All in all, smoking can result in a lot of problems in universities. Therefore, students should not be allowed to smoke.Interlocutor: Thank you. Now, Gao Feng, would you like to ask some questions?Gao: OK. I’m not a smoker myself. But many friends of mine started smoking in universities. Do you think people can also benefit from smoking?Wang: I used to smoke, though not heavily. I think the benefit is that it can help you relax. It is said that smoking can stimulate your thinking and bring up your creativity. I’ m afraid I have never had that sort of experience.Gao: So when and why did you give up smoking?Wang: 5 years ago. I gave up smoking because of my daughter. She started to learn to play the piano at that time. And my wife was very busy. My daughter disliked the smoky smell. She insisted that if I did not quit smoking, she would quit piano. Well, I thought it was better if I quitted in that case.Gao: That is a good reason to quit.Interlocutor: All right. Now, Gao Feng, would you like to begin by telling us the topic you have chosen and give the presentation, please?Gao: OK. I’d like to talk about “How do you adapt yourself to a new environment?”With the rapid development of society, it is becoming increasingly important to adapt yourself to the new environment. To achieve this goal, I need first of all to keep myself well informed. Because of the development of modern science and technology, a great deal of new information comes into being almost every day. If I stay away from books or mass media for a single day, I’ 11 find a lot of terms and events strange. Therefore, inorder to avoid being out of date, it is necessary to read, surf on the Internet and communicate with people. A second way to adapt myself to the society is to master at least one foreign language, for example, English. After China has become a member nation of WTO, cross-cultural communication is getting more and more frequent. Not being able to use a foreign language can possibly hinder one from contacting people from other cultures. This is particularly important if he or she is involved in an international cooperation. The last thing to be done is to familiarize myself with modern information technology. It is said that the inability to use a computer is more or less the same as being unable to read or write. With the help of computer, work will become more convenient, more efficient, and more enjoyable. Anyway, it is very important to adapt oneself to the new environment. Otherwise, you will be left far behind.Interlocutor: Thank you. Now, Wang Kai, would you like to ask some questions?Wang: OK. Do you think it necessary to change your present lifestyle to cater to the new environment?Gao: I don’ t think so. A wiser way is to integrate the changes with the existing way of life so that you will have a richer life.Wang: But what if you are a traditional person and do not welcome changes?Gao: It is really a problem. I have met a lot of people like this. Because of reluctance to accept new things, they find themselves uneasy in the changed, modern society. Life is spoiled by complaints sometimes.Interlocutor: Thank you. This is the end of the test. Good-bye.。
公共英语五级考试题型解析（2）
公共英语五级考试题型解析（2）公共英语五级考试题型解析34.for 【解析】解析见上题。
desire后面用介词for。
故答案为for，表示“…的欲望”。
35.bought 【解析】本句的前一句话说“顾客认为他们需要一些他们其实不需要的商品。
”这就是广告的作用。
但是买完之后，“他们却不知道当时为什么买了这种商品。
”这里是被动的句式。
故答案为bought。
36.though 【解析】本句话的意思是“尽管知道顾客们可能不知道自己为什么买了这些商品，但是卖家却知道怎么去做。
”故答案为though。
37.do【解析】解析见上题，为了避免与前面的know重复，这里可以换做do。
故答案为do。
38.selling 【解析】关键是看and后面的buying。
本句话的意思是“商家分析市场的供需情况。
”故答案为selling。
39.some 【解析】关键是注意and前后一致。
“some rational and...emotional”，前面说促使顾客购买的动机有很多，有的是理性的，有的`却是冲动。
所以这里应该是some。
故答案为some。
40.knowledge【解析】前面讲商家正确的分析市场的供需信息，知道是什么因素影响顾客的购买欲望。
这就是他们利用的信息知识。
故答案为knowledge。
41.are 【解析】分析句子结构，这里缺少系动词be来构成动词的被动形式。
故答案为ale。
42.reasons 【解析】本段的第一句话提出问题，问为什么在结算处摆设了那么多的商品。
很明显，后面的文章对这个问题进行回答，并列举了原因。
故答案为reasons。
43.ready 【解析】顾客来到结算处，说明他们准备好了要付账。
be ready to的意思是“准备好了做某事”。
故答案为ready。
44.on 【解析】“…的决定”英语表达为“decision on sth.”这里介词需要用on。
故答案为on。
45.customer 【解析】从这个句子的宾语“…that he or she has done a good job of choosing the items.”可以看出，这里说的是顾客的行为，他们认为自己买这些商品是很理性的。

国家公共英语五级(阅读理解)练习试卷2(题后含答案及解析)
国家公共英语五级（阅读理解）练习试卷2(题后含答案及解析) 题型有：1.Travel is at its best a solitary enterprise: to see, to examine, to assess, you have to be alone and unencumbered. Other people can mislead you; they crowd your meandering impressions with their own; if they are companionable they obstruct your view, and if they art-boring they corrupt the silence with non-sequiturs, shattering your concentration with “Oh, look, it’s raining,”and “You see it lots of trees here. “ Traveling on your own can be terribly lonely (and it is not understood by Japanese who, coming across you smiling wistfully at an acre of Mexican butter cups tend to say things like “Where is the rest of your team?”), I think of evening in the hotel room in the strange city. My diary has been brought up to date; I hanker for company: what do I do? I don’t know anyone there, so I go out and walk and discover the three streets of the town and rather envy the strolling couples and the people with children. The museums and churches are closed, and toward midnight the streets are empty. If I am mugged, I will have to apologize as politely as possible, “I am sorry, sir, but I has nothing valuable on my person.” Is there a surer way of enraging a thief and driving him to violence? It is hard to, we clearly or to think straight in the company of other people. Not only do I feel, self-conscious, but the perceptions that are necessary to writing are difficult to manage when someone close by is thinking out loud. I am diverted, but it is discovery, not diversion, that I seek. What is requited is the lucidity of loneliness to capture that vision, which, however banal, seems in my private mood to be special and worthy of interest. There is something in feeling abject that quickens my mind and makes it intensely receptive to fugitive might also be verified and refined; and in any case I had the satisfaction of finishing the business alone. Travel is not a vacation, and it is often the opposite of a rest, “Have a nice time,” people said to me at my send-off at South Station, Medford. It was not precisely what I had hoped for. I craved a little risk, some danger, an untoward event, a vivid discomfort, an experience of my own company, and in a modest way the romance of solitude. This I thought might be mine on that train to Limon.1．Traveling companions are a disadvantage, according to the writer, because they ______.A．give you the wrong impression about the journeyB．distract you from your readingC．intrude on your private observationsD．prevent you from saying what you think正确答案：C解析：mislead obstruct，corrupt，shattering这些例子都可以得出这样的总结。

She was ahead of herself. If one looks at the work of contemporary fashion designers as different from one another as Tom Ford, Helmut Lang, Miuccia Prada, Jil Sander and模考吧网提供最优质的模拟试题，最全的历年真题，最精准的预测押题！Donatella Versace, one sees that many of their strategies echo what Chanel once did. The way, 75 years ago, she mixed up the vocabulary of male and female clothes and created fashion that offered the wearer a feeling of hidden luxury rather than ostentation are just two examples of how her taste and sense of style overlap with today's fashion.Chanel would not have defined herself as a feminist -- in fact, she consistently spoke of femininity rather than of feminism -- yet her work is unquestionably part of the liberation of women. She threw out a life jacket, as it were, to women not once but twice, during two distinct periods decades apart: the 1920s and the 1950s. She not only appropriated styles, fabrics and articles of clothing that were worn by men but also, beginning with how she dressed herself, appropriated sports clothes as part of the language of fashion. One can see how her style evolved out of necessity and defiance. She couldn't afford the fashionable clothes of the period -- so she rejected them and made her own, using, say, the sports jackets and ties that were everyday male attire around the racetrack, where she was climbing her first social ladders.It's not by accident that she became associated with the modern movement that included Diaghilev, Picasso, Stravinsky and Cocteau. Like these artistic protagonists, she was determined to break the old formulas and invent a way of expressing herself. Cocteau once said of her that "she has, by a kind of miracle, worked in fashion according to rules that would seem to have value only for painters, musicians, poets."Certainly her life was unpredictable. Even her death -- in 1971, at the age of 87 in her private quarters at the Ritz Hotel -- was a plush ending that probably would not have been predicted for Chanel by the nuns in the Aubazine orphanage, where she spent time as a ward of the state after her mother died and her father ran off. No doubt the sisters at the convent in Moulins, who took her in when she was 17, raised their eyebrows when the young woman left the seamstress job they had helped her get to try for a career as a cabaret singer. This stint as a performer -- she was apparently charming but no Piaf -- led her to take up with the local swells and become the backup mistress of Etienne Balsan, a playboy who would finance her move to Paris and the opening of her first hat business. That arrangement gave way to a bigger and better deal when she moved on to his friend, Arthur ("Boy") Capel, who is said to have been the love of her life and who backed her expansion from hats to clothes and from Paris to the coastal resorts of Deauville and Biarritz. One of her first successes was the loose-fitting sweater, which she belted and teamed with a skirt. These early victories were similar to the clothes she had been making for herself -- women's clothes made out of everyman materials such as jersey, usually associated with men's undergarments.Throughout the 1920s, Chanel's social, sexual and professional。
