专四模拟试题附参考答案(3)4
专四模拟试题附参考答案 (3) 4For millions of years before the appearance of the electric light，shift work，all-night cable TV and the Internet， Earth’s creatures evolved on a planet with predictable and reassuring 24－hour rhythms. Our biological clocks are set for this daily cycle.Simply put，our bodies want to sleep at night and be awake during the day. Most women and men need between eight and eight and a half hours of sleep a night to function properly throughout their lives. (Contrary to popular belief，humans don’t need less sleep as they age.)But on average，Americans sleep only about seven and a half hours per night，a marked drop from the nine hours day averaged in 1910.what’s worse，nearly one third of all Americans get less than six hours of sleep on a typical work night. For most people， that’s not nearly enough.Finding ways to get more and better sleep can be a challenge. Scientists have identified more than 80 different sleep disorders. Some sleeping disorders are generic.But many problems are caused by staying up late and sleeping in， by traveling frequently between time zones or by working nights. Dr. James. F. Jones at National Jewish Medical and Research Center in Denver says that sleep disorders are often diagnosed at other discomforts.About one thirdof the patients referred to him with possible chronic fatigue syndrome actually have treatable sleep disorders. “Before we do anything else， we look at their sleep，” Jones says.Sleep experts say that most people would benefit from a good look at their sleep patterns，“My motto (座右铭) is ‘sle ep defensively’，” says Mary Carskadon of Brown University. She says people need to carve out sufficient time to sleep， even if it means giving up other things.Sleep routines－like going to bed and getting up at the same time every day－are important.Pre－bedtime activities also make a difference. As with Elsneer， who used to suffer from sleeplessness， a few lifestyle change－avoiding stimulants and late meals， exercising hours before bedtime， relaxing with a hot bath—yield better sleep.90.What is TRUE of human sleep？A. Most people need less sleep when grow older.B. Most people need seven and a half hours of sleep every night.C. On average， people in the U. S. today sleep less per night than they used to.D. For most people， less than six hours of sleep on a typical worknight is enough.91.For our bodies to function properly， we should .A. sleep for at least eight hours per nightB. believe that we need less sleep as we ageC.adjust our activities to the new inventionsD. be able to predict the rhythms of our biological clocks92.According to the author， many sleeping disorders are causedby .A. other diseasesB.pre－bedtime exercisesC.improper sleep patternsD.Chronic fatigue syndrome93.Which of the following measures can help you sleep better？A. Staying up late.B. Taking a hot bath.C. Having late meals.D. Traveling between time zones.94.“Sleep defensively” means that .A. people should go to a doctor and have their problems diagnosedB.people should exercise immediately before going to bed every nightC. people should sacrifice other things to get enough sleep if necessary.D. People should give up going to bed and going up at the same every day.TEXT DThe word laser was coined as an acronym for Light Amplification by the Stimulated Emission of Radiation. Ordinary light， from the Sun or a light bulb， is emitted spontaneously， when atoms or molecules get rid of excess energy by themselves， without any outside intervention.Stimulated emission is different because it occurs when an atom or molecule holding onto excess energy has been stimulated to emit it as light.Albert Einstein was the first to suggest the existence of stimulated emission in a paper published in 1917. However， for many years physicists thought that atoms and molecules always were much more likely to emit light spontaneously and that stimulated emission thus always would be much weaker. It was not until after the Second WorldWar that physicists began trying to make stimulated emission dominate. They sought ways by which one atom or molecule could stimulate many others to emit light， amplifying it to much higher powers.The first to succeed was Charles H. Townes， then at Columbia University in New York. Instead of working with light， however， he worked with microwaves， which have a much longer wavelength， and built a device he called a “maser” ， for Microwave Amplification by the Stimulated Emission of Radiation.Although he thought of the key idea in 1951， the first maser was not completed until a couple of years later. Before long， many other physicists were building masers and trying to discover how to produce stimulated mission at even shorter wavelengths.The key concepts emerged about 1957. Townes and Arthur Schawlow，then at Bell Telephone Laboratories， wrote a long paper outlining the conditions needed to amplify stimulated emission of visible light waves. At about the same time， similar ideas crystallized in the mind of Gordon Gould， then a 37-year-old graduate student at Columbia， who wrote them down in a series of notebooks. Townes and Schawlow published their ideas in a scientific journal， Physical Review Letters， but Gould filed a patent application. Some decades later， people still argue about who deserves the credit for the concept of the laser.95.Which of the following statements best describes a laser？A.A device for stimulating atoms and molecules to emit light.B.An atom in a high-energy state.C.A technique for destroying atoms or molecules.D.An instrument for measuring light waves.96.Why was Townes' early work with stimulated emission done with microwaves？A.He was not concerned with light amplification.B.It was easier to work with longer wavelengths.C.His partner Schawlow had already begun work on the laser.D.The laser had already been developed.97.In his research at Columbia University， Charles Townes workedwith all of the following EXCEPT .A.stimulated emissionB.microwavesC.light amplificationD.a maser98.In approximately what year was the first maser built？A.1917.B.1951.C.1953.D.1957.99.Why do people still argue about who deserves the credit for the concept of the laser？A. The researchers' notebooks were lost.B. Several people were developing the idea at the same time.C .No one claimed credit for the development until recently.D. The work is still incomplete.100.According to the passage，Townes，Arthur Schawlow，and Gordon Gould didn't .A. come up with similar ideas about laserB. write their ideas downC.work at Columbia UniversityD. do their share for the study of the laserTEXT EYou may not have thought of it just this way, but the letter you write is part of you,and expression of your personality. Thereforeto write letters that are mere patterns of form is to present a colorless personality.Letters, by their very nature, are too individual to be standardized.A letter may be absolutely perfect according to the standards of good taste and good form; but unless it also expresses something of the writer's personality, it is not a good letter.In other words, don't be satisfied to write letters that are just correct and nothing more. Try to write letters that are correct for you... letters that are warm and alive with reflections of your own personality.And if this sounds like a platitude (陈词滥调), stop for a moment and think back over your recent correspondence.What was the most interesting letter you received?Was it a letter anyone could have written? Or was it a letter that instantly “came alive” as you read it—that brought the personality of the sender right into the room with you. as though you were face to face, listening instead of reading?The fault with too many letters, today as in the past—the reason so many letters are dull and lifeless, and often fail to accomplish the purpose for which they are written is simply this: They sound exactly like the letters everyone else writes.They are neither exciting to receive nor stimulating to read.98. What does the author mean by saying “the letter you write ispart of you”?A. Writing letters plays an important part in your life.B. When you write letters, you should be careful about what to write.C. People can see your personality from the letters you write.D. You should write good letters.99. What does the author want to explain in the fourth paragraph?A. A good letter presents one's personality.B. His opinion is a platitude.C.Letter-writing is interesting.D. Talking face to face is a better way to communicate than writing letters.100. The best title for the passage is___________.A. Letter WritingB. Personality in Letter WritingC. To Write Interesting LettersD. To Write Correct Letters。

专业英语四级(阅读)模拟试卷3(题后含答案及解析)
专业英语四级（阅读）模拟试卷3(题后含答案及解析)题型有：1.5%. Much of the debt that students are taking on is provided or guaranteed by the government. Imposing write-offs on all taxpayers to benefit those with the best job prospects is unfair; and ripping up contracts between borrowers and private lenders is usually a bad idea. That said, student-loan systems in America and elsewhere are often badly designed for an extended period of high unemployment. In contrast to the housing crash, the risk from student debt is not of a sudden explosion in losses but of gradual financial suffocation. The pressure needs to be eased. One option is to change the bankruptcy laws. In America, Britain and elsewhere, these treat student debt as a special case: unlike other forms of debt, it cannot be wiped out. If student debt is not to bound existing graduates and put off future ones, the rules could be changed so that it is dischargeable in bankruptcy. Yet the reasoning behind the current bankruptcy provisions is logical enough; education is an asset that cannot be repossessed and that keeps on benefiting the individual through his or her lifetime. Some worry that graduates would rush to declare bankruptcy, handing losses to taxpayers. So a second option is preferable. Many countries, America included, have designed student debt primarily as a mortgage-like obligation: it is repaid to a fixed schedule. Other places, like Britain and Australia, make student-loan repayments contingent(依情况而定的)on reaching an income threshold so that the prospect of taking on debt is more acceptable to people from poorer backgrounds. That approach makes sense, especially when jobs are scarce. Barack Obama this week proposed to limit loan payments for some struggling American graduates to 10% of discretionary(任意的)income and forgive outstanding debt after 20 years. Income-based repayment ought to become the norm. Both changes would lead to a repricing of student debt. That would be a bad thing for taxpayers, but a good thing overall. If such information were made public, other useful data would follow—on the average financial returns to graduates of specific subjects, for example. Those studying less profitable subjects would have to pay more, or be subsidised more. It would be a controversial approach, but a more educated one.5．We can learn from the first two paragraphs that_____.A．high unemployment rates make it hard for students to get loansB．rising university fees is a valid way to balance the student loansC．student indebtedness has become an increasingly tricky issueD．credit quality has been improved including student debts正确答案：C解析：推理题。

All spiders produce silk, but only some construct webs to catch their homes and to protect their eggs.All spiders possess poison glands but very few of them are dangerous to humans, of the 600+species in Britain only 12 (atleast one of these is a recent human assisted colonist) are strong enough to pierce the human skin, and apart from allergies, none are more dangerous than a common wasp. Most spiders have 8 eyes (though some have 6,4,2 or 0), as well as 8 legs. (by the way if you count the claws as separate leg section [which you shouldn't really] then their legs have 8 parts as well [coxa, trochanter, femur, patella, tibia, tarsus, metatarus, claws]) There are more than 32000 known species of spider in the world. No human being has ever been officially recorder as having died as the result of a 'tarantula' bite. All spiders are carnivorous and feed only on liquids, i.e. their preys natural juices and the breakdown products of external digestion (meaning they spit, exude or inject digestive juices onto/into their prey ad suck up the resulting soup). So why not invite some to your next social do? What's In a NameThe word 'Arachnida' comes from the Greek word 'Arachne' who was the daughter of Idmon of Colophon in Lydia, a dyer by trade. Arachne herself was a weaver, the best in all the known world. However in a foolish moment she challenged Athene, the daughter of Zeus and goddess of, among otherthings, waving to a weaving competition. Arachne wove so perfect a cloth that she tore it to shreds. Arachne became depressed after this and in the end she hung herself. Athene stirred to remorse at the knowledge of what her anger had wrought turned the rope Arachne had used to hang herself into a web and Arachne herself into a spider so that the beauty of her spinning should not be lost to the world ever again.The Great Household Spider SafariThere are just over six hundred different sorts of spider in the British Isles. But of these only a handful are commonly found inhouses. At the front of the head are a pair of what appear to be small legs. These are called palps and are used to guide food to the spider's mouth. The front of the head also has a group of six or eight eyes. On the underside of the body at the rear, are four or six small conical bumps or cylinders. There are the spinnerets from which the spider produces the silk to make its webs.Telling male and female spiders apart is easily done by looking at their palps. Males have swollen ends to their palps which makes them look as if they are wearing boxing gloves, these are often strange shapes if looked at with a hand lens. Females have normal looking palps that are not swollen at the ends.The largest spider is the Goliath spider, the female of which grows to reach a leg span of ten inches. The largest spider in Britain is the Cardinal spider which is a close cousin of Tim Tegenaria. Females can achieve a leg span of four and a half inches. It is known as the Cardinal spider as it was common in Hampton Court when Cardinal Wolsey lived there. The sight of these long legged spiders wandering around the palace at night used to frighten him. So far 32000 different kinds of spider have been discovered from all over the world. Britain has 630 different kinds of spider of which 250 are tiny Money spiders. The smallest of which has a body less than one millimeter long.1.All the silk produced by spiders construct webs to catch their food2.Not all the poison glands possessed by spiders are dangerous to human beings.3.Spiders often kill humans in Britain when they pierce human skin.4.After seeing her enemy commits suicide, Arachne turnedAthena into a spider.5.TimTegenaria spiders are closely related to tarantula spiders; both are found in Britain.6.So far32000 different kinds of spiders have been discovered from all over the world.7.Money spiders are the smallest spiders found in the Arachnids family.8.There are more than known species of spider in the world.9.Telling male and female spiders apart is easily done by .10.The largest spider isPart III Listening Comprehension (35 minutes)Section ADirections: In this section, you will hear 8 short conversations and 2 long conversations.

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.In the early days of the internet, many people worried that as people in the rich world embraced new computing and communications technologies,people in the poor world would be left stranded on thewrong side of a "digital divide." Yet the debate over the digital divide is founded on a myth - hat plugging poor countries into the internet will help them to become rich rapidly.This is highly unlikely, because the digital divide is not a problem in itself, but a symptom of deeper, more important divides: of income, development and literacy. Fewer people in poor countries than in rich ones own computers and have access to the internet simply because they are too poor, are illiterate, or have other more immediate concerns, such as food, health care and security. So even if it were possible to wave a magic wand and cause a computer to appear in every household on earth, it would not achieve very much: a computer is not useful if you have no food or electricity and cannot read. Yet such Wand-waving - through the construction of specific local infrastructure projects such as rural telecenters - is just the sort of thing for which the UN's new fund is intended.This sort of thing is the wrong way to go about addressing the inequality in access to digital technologies: it is treating the symptoms, rather than the underlying causes. The benefits of building rural computing centers, for example, are unclear. Rather than trying to close the divide for the sake of it, the more sensible goal is to determine how best to use technology to promote bottom-up development. And the answer to that question turns out to be remarkably clear: by promoting the spread not of PCs and the Internet, but of mobile phones.57. What is the main idea of this passage?A) Plugging poor countries into the Internet will help them to become rich rapidly.B) Poor countries should be given more basic devices other than advanced ones.C) Rich countries should help poor ones becoming rich.D) People in poor countries cannot afford devices such as computer.58. What did the author mean by referring "digital divide." (Line 3, Para.1)?A) Digital technology will make the gap between rich world and poor world wider.B) Digital technology will divide people into rich and poor world.C) People can be divided digitally.D) To divide people in digital world is wrong.59. We can infer from the 2nd paragraph that.A) people in poor countries cannot use computer because of illiteracy.B) poor people cannot use computers.C) there would be no magic to cause a computer to appear in every household on earth.D) people in poor countries need more basic living conditions thancomputers.60. Considering the following sentences, which one would the author most agree?A) Digital technology is useless.B) Digital divide will help poor countries becoming rich.C) Poor people need more immediate concerns, such as food, health care and security.D) Mobile phones should be promoted firstly.61. The following passage will probably be:A) How to promote using of mobile phones.B) How to use technology to promote bottom-up development.C) The benefits of building rural computing centers.D) How to meet the need of food, health and security in poor countries. Passage TwoQuestions 62 to 66 are based on the following passage.Space is a dangerous place, not only because of meteors (流星 ) but also because of rays from the sun and other stars. The atmosphere again acts as our protective blanket on earth. Light gets through, and this is essential for plants to make the food which we eat. Heat, too, makes our environment endurable. Various kinds of rays come through the air from outer space, but enormous quantities of radiation from the sun are screened off. As soon as men leave the atmosphere they are exposed to this radiation but their spacesuits or the walls of their spacecraft, if they are inside, do prevent a lot of radiation damage.Radiation is the greatest known danger to explorers in space. The unit of radiation is called "rem". Scientists have reason to think that a man can put up with far more radiation than 0.1 rem without being damaged; the figure of 60 reins has been agreed on. The trouble is that it is extremely difficult to be sure about radiation damage - a person may feel perfectly well, but the cells of his or her sex organs may be damaged, and this will no be discovered until the birth of deformed children or even grandchildren.Missions of the Apollo flights have had to cross belts of high amount of rems. So far, no dangerous amounts of radiation have been reported, but the Apollo missions have been quite short. We simply do not know yet how men are going to get on when they spend weeks and months outside the protection of theatmosphere, working in a space laboratory. Drugs might help to decrease the damage done by radiation, but no really effective ones have been found so far.62. According to the first paragraph, the atmosphere is essential to man in that ____.A) it protects him against the harmful rays from spaceB) it provides sufficient light for plant growthC) it supplies the heat necessary for human survivalD) it screens off the falling meteors63. We know from the passage that ____.A) exposure to even tiny amounts of radiation is fatalB) the effect of exposure to radiation is slow in comingC) radiation is avoidable in space explorationD) astronauts in spacesuits needn't worry about radiation damage64. The harm radiation has done to the Apollo crew members ____A) is significant B) seems overestimatedC) is enormous D) remains unknown65. It can be inferred from the passage that ____.A) the Apollo mission was very successfulB) protection from space radiation is no easy jobC) astronauts will have deformed children or grandchildrenD) radiation is not a threat to well-protected space explorers66. The best title for this passage would be ____.A) The Atmosphere and Our EnvironmentB) Research on RadiationC) Effects of Space RadiationD) Importance of Protection Against RadiationPart V Cloze (15 minutes)Direction: There are 20 blanks in the following passage.

How did the critics like the new play? 67 an event takes place; newspapers are on the streets 68 the details. Wherever anything happens in the world, reports are on the spot to 69 the news.Newspapers have one basic 70 , to get the news as quickly as possible from its source, from those who make it to those who want to 71 it.

There engines are ___________.(不如我们制造的那些发动机功率大)答案Part IGlobal WarmingIn these times, people all over the world are starting to learn the influence that global warming has on people everywhere. it is a sad truth that this issue is affecting not only merely the weather, but not everyday lives as well.These are numerous reasons to explain this; here I would like to explore some of the most important ones. The development of modern industry mustbe the biggest reason. Carbon dioxide exerted from some factories is believed to be contributing to the accelerated warming our atmosphere. In addition, the way that we are consuming a greater and greater amount of energy in the process of our day-to-day lives is only exacerbating this problem.Talking into consideration those factors discussed above, I believe there are at least two measures we can take: on one hand, the government should come up with more effective and stricter laws for the regulation of industrial emissions and byproducts. On the other hand, as individuals, we need to get into the habit of saving energy. With joint effort from every one of us, we can certainly hope for a lasting solution to this problem one day.Part II1.F.当出现all这种过于绝对的词语时，考生应该引起注意。

Choose the one that you think is the best answer.Mark your answers on your ANSWER SHEET.TEXT ASteve Courtney wrote historical novels. Not, he was quick to explain, over colorful love stories of the kind that made so much money for so many women writer, but novels set, and correctly set, in historical periods. Whatever difference he saw in his own books, his readers did not seem to notice it, and his readers were nearly all women. He had studied at university, but he had not been a particularly good student, and he had never afterwards let any academic knowledge he had gained interfere with his writing.Helen, his wife, who did not have a very high opinion of her husband's ability as a novelist, had been careful to say when she married him that she was not historically minded・Above all, Helen was doubtful whether her relationship with Steve would work at all in the village of Stretton, to which they had just moved・ It was Steve who had wanted to move to the country, and she had been glad of the change, in principle, whatever doubts she was now having about Stretton as a choice・ But she wondered whether Steve would not, before very long, want to live in London again, and what she would do if he did. The Stretton house was not a weekend cottage・ They had moved into it and given up the London flat altogether, partly at least, she suspected, because that she Sieve's idea of what a successful author ought to do. However, she thought he was not going to feel like a successful author half as much in Stretton as he had in London. On the other had, she supposed he might just start dashing up to London for the day to see his agent or have lunch with his publisher, leaving her behind in Stretton, and she thought on the whole she would like that.66.Which of the following is true about Steve's attitude towards women who wrote love stories?A.He had a low opinion of the kind of books they wrote.B・ He was afraid of being compared unfavorably with them.C・ He would have liked to earn as much money as they did.D・ He did not think he could write about the same subjects.67.Helen thought Steve might not be content in Stretton because ___ .A・ his relationship with Helen was changingB.he would not feel so important in StrettonC・ he would not be able to write so well thereD. he would not be lonely without all his friends6&We learn from the passage that Steve's novels were ____ .A. popular but unimportantB・ serious works of literatureC.admired for their historical truthD.written with women readers in mindTEXTBWhen Franklin D・ Roosevelt was elected Preside nt of the United States in 1932, not only the United States but also the rest of the world was in the throes of an economic depression. Following the termination of World War I,Britain and the United States at first experienced a boom in industry. Called the Roaring Twenties, the 1920s ushered in a number of things 一prosperity, greater equality for women in the work world, rising consumption, and easy credit. The outlook for American business was rosy.October 1929 was a month that had catastrophic economic reverberations worldwide. The American stock market witnessed the ''Great Crash/1 as it is called, and the temporary boom in the American economy came to a standstill. Stock prices sank, and panic spread・ The ensuing unemployment figure soared to 12 million by 1932. Germany in the postwar years suffered from burdensome compensation it was obliged to pay to the Allies. The country's industrial capacity had been greatly diminished by the war. Inflation, political instability, and high unemployment were factors helpful to the growth of the initial Nazi party. Germans had lost confidence in their old leaders and heralded the arrival of a messiah-like figure who would lead them out of their economic wilderness. Hitler promised jobs and, once elected, kept his promise by providing employment in the party, in the newly expanded army, and in munitions factories.Roosevelt was elected because he promised a "New Deal” to lift the United States out of the doldrums of the depression. Following the principles advocated by Keynes, a British economist, Roosevelt collected the spending capacities of the federal government to provide welfare, work, and agricultural aid to the millions of down-and-out Americans. Elected President for four terms because of his innovative policies, Roosevelt succeeded in dragging the nation out of the depression before the outbreak of World War II.69.Which of the following was NOT true at the time Roosevelt was elected?A・ Stock prices were recovering slowly・B.The nation was in a deep depression.C.There were 12 million unemployed workers.D・ The nation needed help from the federal government.70.The "'Great Crash n in the passage refers to ____ .A.the end of World War IB.the Great DepressionC・ high unemployment figuresD.a slump in the stock market71.We can infer that the author of this passage ____ ・A. disapproves of Roosevelt's "New Deal HB・ thinks the Depression could have been avoidedC・ blames the Depression on the "Great Crash0D. feels there was some similarity between Roosevelt and Hitler72.The best title for the passage is ___ ・A.The TwentiesB.The Great CrashC・ The DepressionD. The End of World War ITPYT rThe thr ee biggest lies in America are: (1) "The check is in the mail.” (2) "Of course Fll respect you in the morning.11 (3) H It was a computer error/1Of these three little white lies, the worst of the lot by far is the third・ It's the only one that can never be true. Today, if a bank statement cheats you out of '900 that way, you know what the clerk is sure to say: H It was a computer error.n Nonsense・ The computer is reporting nothing more than what the clerk typed into it. The most irritatingcase of all is when the computerized cash register in the grocery store shows that an item costs more than it actually does. If the innocent buyer points out the mistake, the checker, bagger, and manager all come together and offer the familiar explanation: n It was a computer eiror「It wasnt of course・ That high-tech cash register is really nothing more than an electric eye. The eye reads the Universal Product Code — that ribbon of black and white lines in a comer of the package 一and then checks the code against a price list stored in memory. If the price list is right, youll be charged accuratel y.Grocery stores update the price list each day — that is, somebody sits at a keyboard and types in the prices. If the price they type in is too high, there are only two explanations: carelessness or dishonesty. But somehow n a computer error11 is supposed to excuse everything.One reason we let people hide behind a computer is the common misperception that huge, modern computers are "electric brains1' with H artificial intelligence/1 At some point there might be a machine with intelligence, but none exists today. The smartest computer on earth right now is no more "intelligent than your average screwdriver. At this point in the development of computers, the only thing any machine can do is what a human has instructed it to do.73.We are told that a high-tech cash register is really just ___ ・A. an electric instrument of sightB・ a simple adding machineC・ a way to keep employees honestD・ an expensive piece of window dressing74.Grocery store price lists are updated by ____ .A.a seannerB.a telephone hookupC・ an adding machineD. an employee75.Which of the following describes the main idea of the passage?A. Computers are stupid and inefficient.B・ Computer errors are basically human errors・puters can help department stores update the price list.D.Supermarket price errors are often made through dishonesty.TEXTDAll R&D executives have two major responsibilities: (1) they must ensure that the company is supplied with technically successful projects, and (2) they must select the most promising schemes and ideas for the expenditure of R&D resources. This work is complicated by numerous uncertainties, inasmuch as commercial research and development must be based on market forecasts.If R&D management can provide a regular flow of new and updated products, the company will benefit in a number of ways・ First of all, it will be able to make full use of expensive departmental resources, development engineering and available marketing capacity・ In addition to that, a flow of new market winners will provide the business with steady growth income and profits. This can also be important psychologically, for it is often on this basis that those outside the company assess the quality of its management.The R&D departments job is made more difficult because of the length of time required to complete its research・In the chemical and pharmaceutical industries, for example, it may take five to ten years before a product is a technical success and a further six to eight years before it reaches full commercial potential.To achieve results, R&D must define both the areas that should be investigated and the objectives that should be achieved in each area. For this reason, the R&D department must take an interest in all aspects of design,application, efficiency, and use of appropriate materials. There is a difference, however, between the development of new consumer products and the development of new industrial ones・ In specific need, and development is tailored to meet it. In many industrial markets, product development is the result of work down in the research laboratory. This work is often aimed at a general need, such as a new kind of medicine or higher operating speeds for machines. When the new industrial project has been developed, its performance can be analyzed in terms of customer needs.76.How long does it take in some industries before a product achieves full commercial potential?A.From five to ten years.B.From six to eight years・C.From seven to eleven years.D.From eleven to eighteen years.77.From the passage, we are told that consumer products are developed to ____ ・A.make use of appropriate materialsB.assess the management of a companyC.meet a specific needD.meet a general needPART VI WRITING (45 MIN)SECTION A COMPOSITION [35 MIN.]Write a composition of about 150 words on the following topic:MY VIEW ON COLLEGE STUDENTS* PAYING THE TUITION FEEYou are to write in three parts.In the first part, state clearly your viewpoint on this issue.In the second part, give one or two reasons to support your point of view・In the last part, bring what you have written to a natural conclusiori・Marks will be awarded for content, organization, grammar and appropriacy.

For questions 8-10, complete the sentences with the information given in the passage.The Overworked, Networked FamilyBring up work-and-family balance at a neighbor’s barbecue, and the conversation immediately t urns toward tales of rushing out of meetings at breakneck (飞快的) speed to shuttle the kids to soccer practice or struggling to tear ourselves away for a decent vacation. Complaints about time pressure are so common that they have become a common cultural vocabulary. Everybody, it seems, is stressed out about time, and achieving “balance” has become the Holy Grail (圣杯) of middle-class family life.But maybe balance is the wrong image. Instead, think transformation. Just as businesses are shifting from Industrial Age to networks, so, too, is the American family undergoing a parallel social revolution. Parents and children are no longer on the same schedule — unlike the way things were a generation ago. With many educated mothers and fathers working longer hours, they are linked to their kids by a web of cell phones and e-mails.At the same time, kids are taking the initiative to pursue more activities and are using information technologies to nurture their own electronic networks of relationships, from friends at school to cousins in distant cities.The networked economy is leading to far different standards and expectations of what it means to be a parent and a child. It’s not simple enough for the young to get an education. Instead, the goal is to raise children to be creative and adaptable, able both to compete successfully and to collaborate with their peers from all over the world. “We have an economy whose functioning depends for the first time on the enhancement of human capability,” says Richard Florida, professor of public policy at George Mason University in Fairfax, Va.How can the typical overworked white-collar American —bombarded(轰炸) by e-mails, troubled with late-night meetings, and confronted with unexpected business trips — at the same time manage at high speed and cope with the new challenges at home? Gradually, a new body of shared rules-of-thumb (经验做法) is emerging, passed along at playgrounds and in offices. Among them: transform technology from an oppressor into a liberator.Others have mastered the art of interweaving work obligations and home life in a way that was not possible before, answering an e-mail from work one minute and helping with homework the next. And the younger members of the family — already far more sophisticated at multitasking and networking than their parents — are getting a chance to see what approaches work and what falls flat.Historically, the organization of the family has mirrored, to some degree, the organization of the workplace. Take the classic middle-class family of the 1950s and ‘60s, the “Golden Age” economy of stro ng productivity growth and abundant gains in real wages. With a secure corporate job, Dad could afford to work not much more than 40 hours a week and Mom could stay at home to raise the children. The family of that era did many things together. The classic example is eating dinner every evening at the kitchen table. The kids also followed their parents when Mom and Dad visited friends. In essence, a family acted like a single unit, with a hierarchy (等级制度) that mirrored the top-down management of factories or large industrial organizations of the day.Fast-forward to the 2000s. Today, both Mom and Dad are more likely to have careers. The combined workweek of a husband and wife in their prime working years with children is 68 hours, up from 59 hours in 1979, according to calculations by the Economic Policy Institute. The better educated the couple, the more hours they put in. At theof being outsourced to foreign countries. Instead, what’s left are the more complicated and creative tasks that can’t be easily reduced to a set of instructions.At home, standards for a healthy, emotionally rich family life are a lot higher than they used to be. Schedules during “leisure hours” are filled with music lessons and play dates for the kids, exercise classes for Mom, and occasional golf times for Dad. Parents are aware that colleges and universities look more favorably on high school students with a demonstrated ability to do many things well, not unlike the skills they will need in the workplace.To achieve these goals, families are learning to turn technology to their advantage. Many time-pressed workers now realize that technology creates greater possibilities for busy families to stay in touch and, at the same time, increase family time. When Ruder went to the work on Saturdays and Sundays, he doesn’t long for “the good old days”. “Because of technology, I probably spend more time working on the weekend now, but it’s easier on me because I can work at home, then take a run, and go out to brunch with friends,” he says.But just as excessive e-mails and conference calls fill up time on the job, there’s te mptation to use the technology to stuff too much in at home as well. Other busy people have found that it’s important to maintain fairly strict boundaries between work and home.It’s important to note that there’s no one-size-fit-all solution for the problem of reconciling long hours at work with a healthy family life. What’s more, individuals can accomplish only so much acting on their own. Schools and other major community institutions still behave as though the 40-hour workweek were the rule rather than the exception. And corporations are still loading new responsibilities and commitments onto managers and professionals, without taking away any of the old ones. Nevertheless, what’s fascinating about the current focus on managing work and family time is th at it’s rooted in an abundance of possibilities. Through trial and error, with many troubles along the way, the networked family is starting to figure out how to take advantage of the many opportunities available today. And that’s progress.1. We learn from the first paragraph that ______.A) middle-class families take achieving balance as the Holy GrailB) time pressure makes it hard for people to balance work and familyC) people are too busy to share the interesting things in their life with each otherD) complaints about time pressure have become ever more common among people2.

Used (37)_______ in price from several hundred yuan to several thousand, depending on the functions “The electronic dictionary lightens both my school bag and my work (39) _______,”said a middle school student. “Most of my classmates use electronic dictionaries for the (40) _______.” he said.Even some teachers (41) _______ electronic dictionaries. “Electronic dictionaries often allow students to read more,” said an English teacher. “they prefer to look up words they don’t understand without having to (42) _______ through a dictionary. They often find ordinary dictionaries are too complicated.”However, educators have expressed some concerns about the (43) risks of allowing students to useunder way in health care systems around the country. For example:Electronic Health Records (EHRs) are 50 paper records. While many still experience the 51 of a paper-driven system that is only slightly more sophisticated than black-and-white reruns of Marcus Welby, M.D., EHRs give leading health care providers a complete and accurate medical history as well as links to practice guidelines and best practices. Doctors can access a wide range of tools that support 52 , care management and compliance (遵循) with protocols (方案).pharmacy(药房) to patient. It’s not just about sending a prescription electronically to ensure legibility. A good e-Prescrib ing system automatically flags potentially harmful drug interactions and checks a health Plan’s reimbursement (偿还) schedule to 54 costs for patients.Personal Health Records (PHRs) are patient-owned and 55 electronic health records that allow people to store, access and coordinate their complete health history and make 56 parts available to those who need it. The key here is that individuals are in control of their own information.extreme than others.For example, it is one thing to take the life of another in a fit of blind rage, but quite another to coldly plot and carry out the murder of one or more people in the style of a butcher. Thus, murder, like all other crimes, is a matter of relative degree. While it could be argued with some conviction that the criminal in the first instance should be merely isolated from society, such should not be the fate of the latter type murderer.The value of the death penalty as a deterrent to crime may be open to debate. But the overwhelming majority ofpenalty deters murder. For example, from 1954 to 1963, when the death penalty was consistently imposed in California, the murder rate remained between three and four murders for each 100,000 population. Since 1964 the death penalty has been imposed only once, and the murder rate has risen to 10.4 murder rate, which began when executions stopped, is no coincidence (巧合). It is convincing evidence that the death penalty does deter many murders. If the bill reestablishing the death penalty is vetoed(否决), innocent people will be murdered —some whose lives may have been saved if the death penalty were in effect. This is literally a life or death matter. The lives of thousands of innocent people must be protected.57. The principle purpose of this passage is to ______.A) initiate a veto C) criticize the governmentB) speak for the majority D) argue for the value of the death penalty58. The author’s response to those who urge the death penalty for all degrees of murder would most likely be______ .A) friendly B) hostile C) negative D) supportive59. It can be inferred from Paragraph 4 that the author thinks that ______ .A) the second type murders should be sentenced to deathB) the value of the death penalty as a deterrent to crime is not to be debatedC) the veto of the bill reestablishing the death penalty is of little importanceD) the death penalty is the most controversial issue in the United States today60. The passage attempts to establish a relationship between ______.A) executions and murdersB) the effects of execution and the effects of isolationC) the murder rate and the importance of the death penaltyD) the importance of equal rights and that of the death penalty61. The author’s attitude towards death penalty is ______.A) opposing B) supporting C) neutral D) sarcasticPassage TwoQuestions 62 to 66 are based on the following passage.Many are aware of the tremendous waste of energy in our environment, but fail to take advantage of straightforward opportunities to conserve that energy. For example, everyone knows that lights should be switched off when no one is in an office. Similarly, when employees are not using a meeting room, there is no need to regulate temperature.Fortunately, one need not rely on human intervention to conserve energy. With the help of smart sensing and network technology, energy conservation processes such as turning off lights and adjusting temperature can beenergy use and institute procedures that lead to smarter and more efficient home, building and industrial plants.Until now, wires and cables for power and connectivity have limited the widespread adoption of sensor (传感器) networks by making them difficult and expensive to install and maintain. Battery-powered wireless networks can simplify installation and reduce cost. But their high power consumption and the corresponding need for regular battery replacement has made wireless networks difficult and costly to maintain. Nobody wants to replace hundreds or thousands of window sensor batteries in a large building on a regular basis.The promise of wireless sensor networks can only be fully realized when the wiring for both the data communication and the power supply is eliminated. Doing so requires a true battery-free wireless solution, one that can utilize energy harvested directly from the environment. To facilitate the widespread deployment of wireless sensor networks, GreenPeak has developed an ultra-low-power communication technology that can utilize environmental energy sources such as light, motion and vibration. This technology, employing on-board power management circuits and computer software to monitor energy harvesters and make the best use of harvested energy, enables sensors to operate reliably in a battery-free environment.Wireless sensor networks deployed in our offices and home will have an enormous impact on our daily lives, helping to build a smarter world in which energy is recycled and fully utilized. These wireless platforms, equipped with advanced sensing capability, will enable us to better control our lives, homes and environment, creating a truly connected world that enables people worldwide to live in a more comfortable, safer, and cleaner environment.62. Batteries are not an ideal energy source for sensor networks because they ______.A) require automatic rechargingB) are difficult and costly to maintainC) have to be replaced from time to timeD) contain metals that pollute the environment63. Battery-free wireless sensor networks are made possible by the fact that ______.A) their maintenance has been greatly simplifiedB) there is energy in the environment to be utilizedC) the cost of using them has been drastically reducedD) modern data communication consumes little energy64. According to the passage, GreenPeak ______.A) supplies batteries operating on harvested energyB) benefits handsomely from communication technologyC) promotes the application of wireless sensor networksD) is the first company to install wireless sensor networks65. The focus of Paragraph 4 is on the ______.A) replacement of batteries in harvestersB) elimination of batteries in sensor networksC) impact of sensor networks on power supplyD) monitoring of energy harvested from the environment66. Wireless sensor networks promise to ______.A) bring businesses high profits C) turn motion into a major source of energyB) further develop the sensing technology D) improve the daily lives of people worldwideasthe75One study saw participants follow one of the tips to see 76 effective it was.

专四模拟试题附参考答案（1）Part III Decide which of the choices given below would best complete the passage if inserted in the corresponding blanks. Mark the best choice for each blank on your answer sheet.The “standard of living” of any country means the average pe rson's share of the goods and services the country produces. A country's standard of living, ____31_______, depends first and 32 on its capacity to produce wealth. “Wealth” in this sense is not money, for we do not live on money 33 on thing s that money can buy: “goods” such as food and clothing, and “services” such as transport and “ __34 __ ” .A country's capacity to produce wealth depends upon many factors, most of 35 have an effect on one another. Wealth depends 36 a great extent upon a country's natural resources. Some regions of the world are well supplied with coal and minerals, and have a fertile soil and a 37 climate; other regions possess none of them.Next to natural resources 38 the ability to turn them to use. China is perhaps as well 39 as the USA in natural resources, but suffered for many years from civil and 40 wars, and 41 this and other reasons was 42 to develop her resources. 43 and stable political conditions, and 44 _____ from foreign invasion, enable a country to develop its natural resources peacefully and steadily, and to produce more wealth than another country equally well 45 by nature but less well ordered.A country's standard of living does not only depend upon the wealth that is produced and consumed 46 it own borders, but also upon what is indirectly produced through international trade. 47 Britain's wealth in foodstuffs and other agricultural products would be much less if she had to depend only on 48 _ grown at home. Trade makes it possible for her surplus manufactured goods to be traded abroad for the agricultural products that would 49be lacking.

Choose the one that you think is the best answer.Mark your answers on your answer sheet.TEXT AAll Sir William Jones wanted to do was to learn Sanskrit. While he was studying, however, he made a surprising discovery. This ancient language of India was amazingly similar to Latin and Greek. The Sanskrit word for "mother"—matar—was almost identical to the Latin word, mater. “Father” was pitar in Sanskrit, pater in Latin and Greek. The more he studied, the more similarities he found.How could this be? Thousands of miles and many natural barriers separated India and Europe. Still, Jones concluded, the similarities were too strong to be accidental. In 1786, he announced “No one could examine them all three, without believing them to have sprung from some common source.”Since then, scholars have traced many languages to this “common source.” Today, these languages are called the Indo-European family. But where did this source originate? Language and geography provide the clues. European languages have similar words for the animals and trees of northern Europe, such as oak, willow, bear, and wolf. There are no common words for the animals and trees of southern Europe.To scholars, this suggests that the Indo-European languages began in north central Europe. In time, some northern Europeans set out toward the east, settling in Iran, India, and Pakistan. Others migrated westward toward southern and western Europe. The root language developed into dozensof different languages, but the family resemblances remain. The word for “three” is drei in German, tres in Spanish, tre in Albanian, and tri in Russian.Almost every language in Europe is part of the Indo-European family, but there are exceptions. Hungarian and Finnish cling to other language families. High in the Pyrenees, the Basque people speak a language that has no known relatives. Perhaps the Basques were the original inhabitants of the region. Isolated by mountains, they may have been bypassed by the spread of Indo-European culture.81. What did Sir William Jones discover when he was learning Sanskrit?A. Sanskrit was very similar to some European languages.B. Sanskrit was an ancient language.C. The Sanskrit word for mother is the same as that in Latin.D. Latin and Greek were very similar.82. Which of the following statements is true about "the common source"?A. Jones found out the common source.B. All languages sprang from the common source.C. Only three languages sprang from the common source.D. Since 1786, scholars have traced many languages to the common source.83. Where did the common source originate?A. In southern Europe.B. In north-central Europe.C. In India.D. in Pakistan.84. What can be concluded from the passage?A. Jones first discovered the root language.B. The languages with the common source are called the Indo-European family.C. The root language developed into different languages as people migrated.D. Every language in Europe is part of the Indo-European family.TEXT BYour first culture shock came after you left your home country and you needed to adjust to the United States, It is now important to learn cultural information about your company, so that you will fit in and perform successfully. The people who make up this environment have their own customs, habits and expectations of each new employee. Gathering information that is formal (policy) and informal (traditions) will help you learn the professional norms and become fully accepted.Policies are corporate documents describing procedures, rules, and standards that guide decision making and conduct. They are similar to official laws that govern a country. Some sources of such written company information include the annual report, product or service brochures, technical and procedural manual, employee directory and the company newsletter. Organizational traditions are usually unwritten hut common practices that have evolved over time. They set the tone and philosophy of the particular corporation, just as the customs of a country do. The best way to learn such information is to observe and talk with others such as your supervisor and co-workers.You can supplement ideas from formal introductory materials given you earlier. Explore with fellow employees those behaviors that may be tolerated but frowned upon. Ask your supervisor for feedback to avoid typical traps that could cause your co-workers to reject you as a professional.Keep this guide nearby, and refer to it often in private. Reviewing formal company procedures, handouts, written notes, ideas, comments from bosses and colleagues, together with materials in this handbook, will help you make a more healthy cultural adjustment.85. What is the purpose to learn cultural information?A. To know the U. S. A. better.B. To work better in the new environment.C. To make more money.D. To improve one's English.86. According to the passage, ___________ is not the policy's function.A. describing procedures, rules and standardsB. governing a countryC. helping to guide decision making and conductD. writing down the company's information87. ____________ is the best way to learn the organizational traditions.A. To read the policiesB. To study the philosophyC. To study a country's customsD. To observe and communicate with the colleagues and boss.88. How to make a more healthy cultural adjustment?A. Read this passage often.B. Discuss the organizational culture with your colleagues.C. Gather and review the formal and informal information in the corporation.D. Ask your boss for help.89. The passage is written to ___________.A. help readers to understand the organization's cultureB. explain the culture shockC. analyze the policies and traditionsD. help readers to work better with their supervisor and co-workersTEXT C“White hostility toward African Americans, and the resulting discrimination, have bee n fueled by a sense of threat. During slavery, many working-class whites, encouraged by slaveholders, feared the release of large numbers of blacks into the labor market and society in general. When northern industries used African Americans as strikebreakers in the first decades of this century, white workers feared the loss of their jobs. Today, many white Americans fear “black violence”. Moreover, specific fears about the “costs” of welfare as well as the "taking" of jobs through affirmative action have added to the fear of black violence.These fears have translated into negative stereotypes of African Americans as a people who are prone to crime and violence, unwilling to work, and a drain on the white taxpayer through their welfare dependency. In turn, these stereotypes have been used to justify informal discrimination, to prevent the help to the urban poor, to be negligent in enforcing laws or policies prohibiting discriminatory practices against black workers, and most important, to hesitate in making a seriouseffort at job creation for African Americans. The result is that African Americans’ share of valued resources has not increased much over the last two decades, even as formal discrimination has been greatly lessened. This fact is used to further the negative belief that African Americans have "not taken advantage of their equal opportunities."90. According to the passage, how did the northern industries make use of African Americans in 1900s?A. Sent them to ask the strikers to go back to work.B. Made them work very hard.C. Employed them to threaten the white strikers.D. Released them into the labor market.91. What is the ill influence of these negative stereotypes?A. Giving help to the poor black.B. Justifying informal discrimination.C. Enforcing laws prohibiting discriminatory practices against black workers.D. Creating opportunities of employment for the black.92. What can be inferred from "a drain on the white taxpayer" about the African Americans?A. They are unwilling to work.B. They never pay tax.C. They lack security.D. Their welfare depends on the white's tax.93. The author wrote the passage to tell us__________.A. African Americans pose a threat to the whites in employmentB. African Americans are dependent on the tax paid by the whitesC. African Americans are discriminated against because they are often on strikeD. the sense of threat intensifies the white's hospitality and discrimination against the African AmericansTEXT D“People thought of themselves as having rights from companies,” said Hoshua Freeman, a labor historian at Columbia University. That sense of entitlement grew even stronger in the early decades after World War II and collective bargaining became the arena for arguing out wages, pensions, health insurance, vacations, hours and job security.That system is disappearing today. Career-long attachments to one employer, a notion born in the 1920's, are no longer the .norm. The new class-consciousness makes less distinction between workers and managers. Rights are relative, at best. An increasingly conservative electorate has reduced government's role in regulating the economy. Unions have lost influence and membership.What people do is try to cope, by themselves, said Ms. Skelly, of DYG. Self-employment is one solution, DYG's polls show, and that is a rising trend. "They try, on the job, to hide any weakness in their performance," she said. “They work longer hours and take work home, without letting the boss know, to give the impression that they can do diffic ult tasks quickly. There is nothing like, ‘we are all in this together.’ There is too much competition. People talk of their weakness to friends and spouses, but not to coworkers.”And many Americans feel in their hearts that the unemployment might be just ified. “There is a sense among people that we are inefficient and bloated,” Ms. Skelly said. “And until they feel that is no longer true, they are reluctant to criticize the forces that are cutting out the fat and the inefficiencies.”94. It can be inferred from the second paragraph that ___________.A. people do not enjoy their rights nowadaysB. people are more likely to change their jobs than they were in the 1920'sC. workers and managers share the same rights todayD. nowadays, people refuse to take part in the Union95. According to Ms Skelly, which of the following is true?A. People like to work overtime.B. People want to work at home.C. People want to impress the boss with their capability and efficiency.D. People need help from their families, for they cannot cope with difficult problems themselves.96. People hide their weakness from___________.A. their parentsB. their wives or husbandsC. their friendsD. their colleagues97. The main idea of the passage is___________.A. people thought of themselves as having rights from companiesB. people's sense of entitlement is not as strong as it used to beC. people work at homeD. people regard unemployment as usualTEXT EYou may not have thought of it just this way, but the letter you write is part of you, and expression of your personality. Therefore to write letters that are mere patterns of form is to present a colorless personality.Letters, by their very nature, are too individual to be standardized. A letter may be absolutely perfect according to the standards of good taste and good form; but unless it also expresses something of the writer's personality, it is not a good letter.In other words, don't be satisfied to write letters that are just correct and nothing more. Try to write letters that are correct for you... letters that are warm and alive with reflections of your own personality.And if this sounds like a platitude (陈词滥调), stop for a moment and think back over your recent correspondence. What was the most interesting letter you received? Was it a letter anyone could have written? Or was it a letter that instantly “came alive” as you read it—that brought the personality of the sender right into the room with you. as though you were face to face, listening instead of reading?The fault with too many letters, today as in the past—the reason so many letters are dull and lifeless, and often fail to accomplish the purpose for which they are written is simply this: Theysound exactly like the letters everyone else writes. They are neither exciting to receive nor stimulating to read.98. What does the author mean by saying “the letter you write is part of you”?A. Writing letters plays an important part in your life.B. When you write letters, you should be careful about what to write.C. People can see your personality from the letters you write.D. You should write good letters.99. What does the author want to explain in the fourth paragraph?A. A good letter presents one's personality.B. His opinion is a platitude.C. Letter-writing is interesting.D. Talking face to face is a better way to communicate than writing letters.100. The best title for the passage is___________.A. Letter WritingB. Personality in Letter WritingC. To Write Interesting LettersD. To Write Correct Letters PART VI WRITING [45 MIN] SECTION A COMPOSITION[35 MIN]We all know that men and women play different roles in modern society, and that they differ in many ways, such as how to perceive the world, how to tackle problems and how to approach people.

Cutbacks in federal programs for Indians have made their problems32more severe in recent years. Josephy reports，“331981 it was estimated that cutbacks in federal programs for Indians totaled about $500 million” or more than ten times the cuts affecting their34fellow Americans. Additional cuts seem to be threatened in the future. This reduced funding is affecting almost all 35of reservation life，36education. If the Indians could 37their38problems，solutions to many of their other problems might not be far behind. In this paper the current status of Indian education will be described and39and some ways of improving this education will be proposed.Whether to40with the dominant American culture or to 41Indian culture has been a longstanding issue in Indian education. After the Civil War full responsibility for Indian education was turned over by the government to churches and missionary groups. The next fifty years became a period of42assimilation in all areas of Indian culture，but especially in religion and education. John Collier，a reformer who agitated43Indians and their culture 44the early 1920s until his death in 1968，had a different idea. He believed that instead of effacing native culture，Indian schools should encourage and45it.Pressure to assimilate remains a potent force today，46. More and more Indians are graduating from high school and college and becoming47for jobs in the non-Indian society. “ When Indians obtain the requisite skills，many of them enter the broader American society and succeed. ”48 approximately 90 percent of all Indian children are educated in state public school systems.How well these children compete with the members of the dominant society，49，is another50.31.

专四模拟试题附参考答案（3）4
TEXT CFor millions of years before the appearance of the electric light， shift work，all-night cable TV and the Internet， Earth’s creatures evolved on a planet with predictable and reassuring 24－hour rhythms. Our biological clocks are set for this daily cycle.Simply put，our bodies want to sleep at night and be awake during the day. Most women and men need between eight and eight and a half hours of sleep a night to function properly throughout their lives.(Contrary to popular belief，humans don’t need less sleep as they age.)But on average，Americans sleep only about seven and a half hours per night，a marked drop from the nine hours day averaged in 1910.what’s worse，nearly one third of all Americans get less than six hours of sleep on a typical work night. For most people， that’s not nearly enough.Finding ways to get more and better sleep can be a challenge. Scientists have identified more than 80 different sleep disorders. Some sleeping disorders are generic. But many problems are caused by staying up late and sleeping in， by traveling frequently between time zones or by working nights. Dr. James. F. Jones at National Jewish Medical and Research Center in Denver says that sleep disorders are often diagnosed at other discomforts. About one third of the patients referred to him with possible chronic fatigue syndrome actually have treatable sleep disorders. “Before we do anything else， we look at their sleep，” Jones says.Sleep experts say that most people would benefit from a good look at their sleep patterns， “My motto (座右铭) is ‘sleep defensively’，” says Mary Carskadon of Brown University. She says people need to carve out sufficient time to sleep， even if it means giving up other things. Sleep routines－like going to bed and getting up at the same time every day－are important. Pre－bedtime activities also make a difference. As with Elsneer， who used to suffer from sleeplessness， a few lifestyle change－avoiding stimulants and late meals， exercising hours before bedtime， relaxing with a hot bath—yield better sleep.90.What is TRUE of human sleep？A. Most people need less sleep when grow older.B. Most people need seven and a half hours of sleep every night.C. On average， people in the U. S. today sleep less per night than they used to.D. For most people， less than six hours of sleep on a typical work night is enough.91.For our bodies to function properly， we should .A. sleep for at least eight hours per nightB. believe that we need less sleep as we ageC. adjust our activities to the new inventionsD. be able to predict the rhythms of our biological clocks92.According to the author， many sleeping disorders are caused by .A. other diseasesB. pre－bedtime exercisesC. improper sleep patternsD. Chronic fatigue syndrome93.Which of the following measures can help you sleep better？A. Staying up late.B. Taking a hot bath.C. Having late meals.D. Traveling between time zones.94.“Sleep defensively” means that .A. people should go to a doctor and have their problems diagnosedB. people should exercise immediately before going to bed every nightC. people should sacrifice other things to get enough sleep if necessary.D. People should give up going to bed and going up at the same every day.TEXT DThe word laser was coined as an acronym for Light Amplification by the Stimulated Emission of Radiation. Ordinary light，from the Sun or a light bulb， is emitted spontaneously， when atoms or molecules get rid of excess energy bythemselves， without any outside intervention. Stimulated emission is different because it occurs when an atom or molecule holding onto excess energy has been stimulated to emit it as light.Albert Einstein was the first to suggest the existence of stimulated emission in a paper published in 1917. However， for many years physicists thought that atoms and molecules always were much more likely to emit light spontaneously and that stimulated emission thus always would be much weaker. It was not until after the Second World War that physicists began trying to make stimulated emission dominate. They sought ways by which one atom or molecule could stimulate many others to emit light， amplifying it to much higher powers.The first to succeed was Charles H. Townes， then at Columbia University in New York. Instead of working with light，however， he worked with microwaves， which have a much longer wavelength， and built a device he called a “maser”，for Microwave Amplification by the Stimulated Emission of Radiation. Although he thought of the key idea in 1951， the first maser was not completed until a couple of years later. Before long， many other physicists were building masers and trying to discover how to produce stimulated mission at even shorter wavelengths.The key concepts emerged about 1957. Townes and Arthur Schawlow， then at Bell Telephone Laboratories， wrote a long paper outlining the conditions needed to amplify stimulated emission of visible light waves. At about the same time， similar ideas crystallized in the mind of Gordon Gould， then a 37-year-old graduate student at Columbia， who wrote them down in a series of notebooks. Townes and Schawlow published their ideas in a scientific journal， Physical Review Letters， but Gould filed a patent application. Some decades later， people still argue about who deserves the credit for the concept of the laser.95.Which of the following statements best describes a laser？A.A device for stimulating atoms and molecules to emit light.B.An atom in a high-energy state.C.A technique for destroying atoms or molecules.D.An instrument for measuring light waves.96.Why was Townes' early work with stimulated emission done with microwaves？A.He was not concerned with light amplification.B.It was easier to work with longer wavelengths.C.His partner Schawlow had already begun work on the laser.D.The laser had already been developed.97.In his research at Columbia University， Charles Townes worked with all of the following EXCEPT .A.stimulated emissionB.microwavesC.light amplificationD.a maser98.In approximately what year was the first maser built？A.1917.B.1951.C.1953.D.1957.99.Why do people still argue about who deserves the credit for the concept of the laser？A. The researchers' notebooks were lost.B. Several people were developing the idea at the same time.C .No one claimed credit for the development until recently.D. The work is still incomplete.100.According to the passage，Townes，Arthur Schawlow，and Gordon Gould didn't .A. come up with similar ideas about laserB. write their ideas downC. work at Columbia UniversityD. do their share for the study of the laserTEXT EYou may not have thought of it just this way, but the lett e r y o u w r i t e i s p a r t o f y o u , a n d e x p r e s s i o n o f y o u r p e r s o n a l i t y .

听力（略）Part II Reading ComprehensionDirections: There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D), and you should decide which is the best choice. (40 points)Passage 1Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage:Just like children, deer often cross British roads to get to the other side. But the cost is the deer's life. At night, speeding cars hit and kill the animals. Now foresters are using natural animal instincts（本能）to prevent dangerous crossings. In England, the British Forestry Commission has installed thousands of glowing red "wolf eyes" along woodland roads. The eyes are actually reflectors, plastic bars like the red reflectors on your bike. The ten-centimeter long bars are fixed on top of posts, with only these signs directed towards the woods rather than the roads.When cars speed by, light rays from car headlights reflect off the reflectors' shining surface and flash into the woods. Deer are instantly scared by the wolf eyes ― even though wolves haven't hunted deer in Britain or even lived there for a hundred years!Scientists think the glowing light imitates the "eye shine" of nightly beasts. (You've probably seen eye shine on cats. Mirror-like cells in the eyes reflect some light that hits them.)The deer must not have "forgotten" that a wolf can run up to 72 km per hour in hot pursuit, or can sniff（嗅）deer out from 2.4 km away. In some areas where "wolf eyes" keep watch, 90 percent fewer deer have been killed at night.26. In Britain, deer's life is threatened _____ .A) by worsening environmentB) by nightly beastsC) by automobilesD) by illegal hunting27. The word "foresters" (Line 2, Para. 1) refers to _____.A) workers in charge of forestsB) traffic policemenC) raisers of wild animalsD) road-building engineers28. The nightly beasts' eyes _____.A) are as bright as mirrorsB) are as shiny as car headlightsC) can work as plastic barsD) can reflect incoming light29. The success of "wolf eyes" proves that _____.A) the deer is a kind of very timid animalB) animals can always be easily cheatedC) all things in nature are related to each otherD) the deer's fear of wolves is genetically built30. It is implied in the passage that _____.A) a wolf can run very fast in hot pursuitB) Great Britain pays great attention to animal protectionC) a wolf's smell is ten times more sensitive than man'sD) Britain has built many highways through woodlandsPassage 2Question 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:"Mind over matter" is an English saying meaning that we can control our bodies with our minds. Now scientists are finding increasing evidence that our mind can have a great effect on our physical health. Since our mind influences how we feel, it's not impossible to say that someone is ill just because he feels ill.The influence of the mind on how well we feel is the basis of what is known as the placebo (which is Latin for "I shall please") effect. A placebo is a harmless, inactive substance. Patients are sometimes given placebo pills and begin to feel better because they believe that they have been given real drugs and expect to respond to them. The placebo effect is very strong: research on pain suggests that up to 30% of the effect of most painkillers is a placebo effect.So if it's so powerful, why don't doctors use it today?According to Dr. Persaud, they do. "Things like wearing a white coat, going to a hospital, being scanned（扫描）all have a very strong placebo effect," he says.31. The English saying "mind over matter" means that _____.A) sound mind is more important than good healthB) our mind has strong effect on our bodyC) our physical health has nothing to do with our mindD) mental health mainly depends on physical health32. According to the first paragraph, if you feel ill, _____.A) you don't need to see a doctorB) you are still in good conditionC) it doesn't necessarily mean that you're physically ill33. According to the passage, placebos _____.A) are real effective pillsB) are not real drugsC) can relieve all kinds of painD) may make patients feel worse34. The placebo effect is based on _____.A) a response of the body to drugsB) a harmless, inactive substanceC) the constant use of some special drugsD) the influence of our minds on our bodies35. Which of the following may least have a placebo effect?A) Concentrating one's mind over a matter.B) Taking sleeping pills before going to bed.C) Taking a physical examination.D) Talking with a doctor.Passage 3Question 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:It is often thought that science fiction is a fairly new development in literature, but its ancestors（先驱）can be found in books written hundreds of years ago. These books were often concerned with the presentation of some form of ideal society, a theme which is still often found in modern stories.Most of the classics of science fiction, however, have been written within the last one hundred years. Books by writers such as Jules Verne and H. G. Wells, to mention just two well-known authors, have been translated into many languages.Modern science fiction writers don't often write about men from Mars or space adventure stories. They are more interested in predicting the effects of technical developments on society and the human mind; or in imagining future worlds which are a reflection of the world which we live in now. Because of this their writing has obvious political undertones.In an age where science fact frequently overtakes science fiction, the writers may find it difficult to keep ahead of scientific advances. Those who are sufficiently clear-sighted to see the way we are going, however, may provide a valuable lesson on how to deal with the problems which society will inevitably face as it tries to master its new technology and come to terms with a continually changing view of the world.36. Science fiction appeared _____.A) a few decades agoB) within the last one hundred yearsC) hundreds of years agoD) thousands of years ago37. Which of the following is less likely to be written in modern science fiction?A) Imagined space adventure and conquering new stars.B) Prediction of effects of technical developments on society.C) Prediction of effects of technical developments on human mind.D) Imagination of the future world in reflection of today's world.38. It can be concluded that modern science fiction writers _____.A) tend to show their political views in their worksB) follow the model set by Jules Verne and H.G. WellsC) are more creative than those in the pastD) are more interested in classic works39. The presentation of an ideal society is found _____.A) neither in classic and modern science fictionB) both in classic and modern science fictionC) only in classic science fictionD) as a fairly new trend in science fiction40. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A) Science fiction often overtakes science fact.B) Writers may find it easy to keep ahead of scientific advances.C) Science fiction is based on successful adventurous events.D) Science fiction helps us to face challenges of the future.Passage 4Question 41 to 45 are based on the following passage:My mother never let herself get down; no matter how bad things were, she stayed cheerful. Even though we had a hard life, she still maintained the attitude that everything was fine. I remember her coming home tired from her job at the restaurant and saying that we were lucky. We didn't have a lot of clothes or toys, but my mother always made sure we had enough to eat.Her love and devotion for my brother and me made our lack of material possessions seem insignificant. Even today, if I were given a choice between having love at home with no wealth and having wealth with no love, I would want it just the way I had it. I grew up poor in material things but rich in love.Since my father was never around long enough to teach me physical things or to play games with me, I didn't succeed in any competitive sport. My mother did her best as a substitute, throwing a ball with me in the lot behind our house, but it wasn't the same. She was too protective of me, and I didn't have enough confidence in my own abilities to really try anything physically demanding.41.

(5 points)Two groups who want to clone human babies defended their efforts yesterday beforea panel（专门小组）set up by the National Academy of Sciences in Washington, D.C.(66) But they failed to erase concerns raised by animal-cloning researchers, who believe attempts at human cloning are unethical and may lead to dead, deformed or ill infants.(67) For a moment, many thought one would-be cloner had claimed her research group had cloned human embryos ― something researchers have avoided for ethical reasons. Brigitte Boisselier, who runs a human-cloning operation associated with a UFO-worshipping religious sect, made reference to cloned embryos while being questioned by one of the panel members about human cloning. (68) Later, she told a group of reporters she had been misunderstood: Her research team was working with cow embryos.(69) The whole exchange was typical of those between would-be human cloners, the press and the panel: sound, fury and a lot of nothing. Often, the sideshow created by the would-be cloners seemed like it might take over the meeting.Scientists at the meeting didn't doubt either group would try. (70) The chances ofsuccess appear relatively slim ― and it seems certain they would create a lot of pain and suffering.66. __________________________________________________________________________67. __________________________________________________________________________68. __________________________________________________________________________69. __________________________________________________________________________70. __________________________________________________________________________Section BDirections: In this section, you will translate 5 sentences below into English.(10 points)71. 上周.美国威胁要针对日本和俄罗斯在美国市场倾销钢材产品采取行动。

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C), and D). You should decide on the best choice and write the corresponding letter on the space given.Passage OneQuestions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage:Every time we open our mouths and speak we label ourselves -- I am English, you may be Bulgarian or African. We are all human beings, but sometimes we have communication problems which can lead to suspicion and misunderstanding.If you speak English, you have an advantage. The English language means power and freedom to many. It dominates international relations. It affects nearly all our lives in one way or another, influencing everything from pop music to diplomatic relations. Yet only around 10% of the world's population are native English speakers. Many of you reading now will have struggled to learn the grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation of this very complicated language. But there could be another solution: learning Esperanto.Esperanto, meaning "one who hopes", is an artificial language, said to be the easiest in the world to learn. It was invented in 1887 by Ludwig Zamnehof, a young Polish optician (眼镜商).The usefulness of Esperanto has been recognized the world over. It is now estimated that around eight million people in over 100 countries have at least some knowledge of it.In Esperanto, we have a language that is easy to learn and fair to all speakers because it belongs not to one nation but to us all. Many people who have tried to learn other languages and failed, have succeeded in Esperanto because it is so easy. Although it is often seen as a joke and not as an important living language, it has been considered dangerous and governments are sometimes afraid of it.Your view of the world is largely based on the language you speak. If you are French, you have a French view, if you are Chinese view and so on. Peter Miles, of the Esperanto Translation Service in England, says that speaking Esperanto gives you a truly international view of the world. He regards himself as a citizen of the world looking down from a satellite circling the earth, who is able to communicate with people all over the world in Esperanto.A nice thought!51. What is the best title for the passage?A) Esperanto -- An Artificial LanguageB) Esperanto -- A Language For AllC) Esperanto -- People's HopeD) Esperanto -- A Nice Thought52. Esperanto is ______.A) not an important living languageB) Zamnehof's mother tongueC) accepted by all peopleD) a favorite of some linguists53. It is implied but not stated that ______.A) Zamnehof hated RussianB) English is more difficult to learn than EsperantoC) Peter Miles is an astronautD) Eight million people can speak Esperanto54. Peter Miles is ______.A) from the Esperanto Translation Service in EnglandB) in charge of the Esperanto Translation Organization of BritainC) a member of the Esperanto Translation Organization in BritainD) a member of the Translation Service of Europe55. The author speaks of Esperanto _____.A) in an objective wayB) in a subjective wayC) in an unfavorable wayD) in a favorable wayPassage TwoQuestions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage:Honeybees cannot live alone. Their body structure and instincts equip them for life in a colony of community, where they have a complex social organization and the various duties are divided among the individuals according to physical fitness andage. An individual worker bee cannot reproduce itself. While it may continue to live if forcibly isolated from its mates, it fails to care for itself adequately, and soon dies. Most insects have the ability to hibernate in winter, but the honeybee seems to have lost this. Since at low temperatures the bee will die, it must have the ability to make its own environment, so far as temperature is concerned. This makes a colony necessity to the bees in winter, so that they may collectively warm each other. Efficiency, if not necessity, demands that the work of colony be divided, and such a division of labor tends to enhance the need to maintain the colony. The physical structure of the honeybee is further suited for the defense of the entire colony rather than for its own defense. The bee's barbed sting is used only once and is made more effective by the fact that it is left behind in the victim. With the loss of the sting, however, the bee dies. This kind of defensive weapon is not of service to the individual, but to the community.56. Bee are fitted for communal life by virtue of their ______.A) flexibility and initiativeB) independence and enduranceC) intelligence and sensitivityD) instincts and form57. A worker bee may survive for a short time even if it is ______.A) deprived of its stingB) isolated from other beesC) denied access to oxygenD) exposed to a wide range of temperatures58. It can be inferred from the passage that at one time beeshad the ability to ______.A) increase their activity in lower temperaturesB) leave cold climates during winterC) remain dormant through periods of cold weatherD) construct insulated hives59. Bees differ from most other communities of insects in their need to _____.A) reproduce in large numbersB) divide the work of their coloniesC) control the temperature where they liveD) have a complex defense system60. Which of the following is the most appropriate title for the passage?A) The Communal Life of BeesB) The Organization of Insect ColoniesC) The Structure of the BeesD) The Life of Social InsectsPassage ThreeQuestions 61 to 65 are based on the following passage:One of the most widely discussed subjects these days is the energy crisis. Automobile drivers cannot get gasoline, homeowners may not get enough heating oil, factories are threatened by a fuel shortage.The crisis has raised questions about the large oil companies and windfall (意外收获) profits. Critics of the oil industry charge that the major companies are getting richer because of the oil shortage. Shortage, of course, drives prices up. As oil prices rise,the critics say, the oil companies will make more and more money -- windfall profits -- without doing a thing to earn the extra cash. "Windfall" profits are sudden unearned profits -- profits made because of luck, or some special turn of events.The word itself tells what "windfall" means -- something blown down by the wing, such as trees, or fruit blown from trees. But the world has taken on a special meaning. This meaning -- getting something unearned -- was first used in medieval (中世纪的) England.This is how it started: At that time much of the land was in the hands of a few barons (贵族). The rest of the people, commoners, lived and worked on their vast estates (领地). They planted the seed, cared for the farm animals and harvested the crops. Not all the land, however, was used for farming. Every land baron kept a large private forest for hunting deer and wild boar (野猪).When hungry, the people sometimes would like kill the animals in the lord's forest for food. And there were times when they might cut down trees for fuel. So, strong laws were passed to protect the forest and the animals. Violations were severely punished.But there was one way people could get wood from the forest. If they found trees blown down by the wind -- "windfall" -- they were free to take them for use as fuel in their homes. And that is the meaning that has come down to us -- something gotten by luck or accident.The poor common people of old England must often have prayed for a good strong wind. Critics today complain that the oil industry has also been praying for something just like it -- some political or military storm that might produce a windfall --a rise in oil prices and profits.The oil companies deny that this is so. In congress, critics of the oil companied have proposed a tax on such profits. The debate on rising oil prices will go on for some time, and most likely we will hear more and more about windfall profits.61. "Critics of the companies" in the last paragraph means ______.A) persons from the oil companies who are criticizing othersB) persons criticizing the oil companiesC) critical opinions from the oil companiesD) critical opinions to the oil companies62. Which of the following couldn't the commoners do in the medieval English?A) Do farm workB) Raise animalsC) Live on baron's landD) Kill animals for food63. Which word(s) should be stressed?A) `windfall profitsB) windfall `profitsC) `windfall `profitsD) windfall profits64. The author's attitude towards the "windfall profits" made by the major oil companies seems to be ______.A) sympatheticB) objectiveC) indistinctD) critical65. Which do you think would be the best title for the article?A) Windfall ProfitsB) Energy CrisisC) WindfallD) The Origin of WindfallPassage FourQuestions 66 to 70 are based on the following passage:Dear Jack,Thank you for your congratulations, my congratulations to you! I remember Margaret Field very well -- the girl with that wonderful red hair and those beautiful green eyes. She was the most popular girl in the college. You're a very lucky fellow and I'm sure you'll be very happy with her.Brenda and I are very lucky, too. Her father gave us this house as a wedding present, so we haven't to pay rent. The house and furniture are insured already, so I can't help you by giving you that kind of business. I wish I'd known earlier that you were in the insurance business. I'd certainly have asked you to give me a policy for the house and its contents.I'm rather doubtful about the value of life insurance. It's my duty, I know, to see that there will be money for my wife, and later on for the children, in the event of my early death. But I feel that it's wiser to put any money I can save into the shares of good business companies. You say I can get a policy that will provide '50,000 when I'm 65. Yes, but that time is nearly forty years away, and what will '50,000 be worth then? Ever since the First World War the real value of money has been going down. Prices go upa little every year, perhaps only 4% or 5%, but the movement is always up, never down. '50.000 in fifty years from now may be worth only two-thirds or even a half of what it is worth today. Now if I put my savings into the shares of the big oil companies, or aircraft manufacturers, the value of the shares will go up with the rise in costs and prices. So the real value of my money would remain about the same, wouldn't it? I know your answer. You'll say that your life insurance policy provides against my possible death. I've got to balance that possibility against the almost certain fall in the value of money.I'd very much like you to meet Brenda. Can you come for a weekend some time? What about a fortnight next Saturday? If you can manage it, please let me know which train you're coming by, and I'll meet you at the station.

PART I
DICT ATION (15 MIN)
Lecture note-taking influences the academic success of all high school and college students./ It is believed that students will have to depend on their ability to take notes/ in order to be successful in the classroom./ Studies about the effect of note-taking on achievement recognize/ that there are two distinct categories of note-taking./ The first category suggests that the notes themselves are valuable./ That's because notes help the learner rehearse the lecture content./ And they can serve as a memory device that can help the student/ to remember parts of the content that were not included in the notes themselves./ The second category suggests that the act of taking notes is important, too./ It increases attention and concentration,/ encourages students to process the material at a deeper level,/ and provides a means of connecting new learning with prior knowledge./ These two categories imply that note-taking can boost achievement/ by acting as a product or as a process.

My View on College Education
We all know the importance of going to college in preparation for the job market or in coping with the rapid changes in technology. Y et while a higher income, better standard of living, and technological literacy might be the most obvious reasons for attending college, they are not necessarily the best, the most reliable, or the most enduring. There are good non-financial reasons to go to college.
First and foremost, college can be a great place for the students to learn about themselves and about society. College is a place where students get a safe chance to mature even as they pursue a degree and a potential career and where visionary ideas go to be challenged, grow, and mature. Next, students may develop self-independence in college, which is essential to their future development. Being away from their own home and living in a dormitory, students often get their first chance at learning to be on their own. In addition, college offers other learning opportunities, too. Much of what students gain in college may come from learning outside the classroom and from participating in campus organizations.
All in all, obtaining a college degree isn't just about making more money . As for society, no one that values freedom can afford to underestimate, even for an instant, the value of higher education.
