What that means is that as you're typing a message in Wave, either a new message or a reply, the person you’re writing to can see what you're typing as you type it. Sounds awful, right?You don’t have to use Wave in this real-time way. It also works as a standard e-mail. What’s really different about Wave is that ifyou’re replying to a message and the person you're replying to happen to be online, they can jump into the conversation at that point, and change what is an e-mail conversation into an instant message conversation or a chat.Wave right now is still closed to most users. And Wave isn't yet connected to other communication systems, like regular e-mail, which means that the only people we can Wave with are other people on Wave as well. So we don’t yet know what using Wave will be like once it gets crowded like e-mail. Also, the technology behind Wave is far more demanding on servers and the Internet itself than regular e-mail or chat, so we don’t know if the technology will work at scale.But Wave really is a current re-think of e-mail. A lot of people won’t like it. A lot of people didn’t like e-mail either when it first showed up. But people will find real uses for Wave or whatever it becomes, and it's one of the most interesting new takes on communication. Even if you don't like it, it will make you think differently about e-mail.36. What is special about Wave?A. It makes people see each other online.B. It enables people to send real-time e-mails.C. It allows you to send more e-mails at the same time.D. It can be easily connected to other communication systems.37. It is uncertain that Wave will work on a large scale because______.A. people cannot find practical uses for itB. it will be a challenge to regular e-mailC. the technology it needs is more complicatedD. many people do not understand how it works38. We know from the last paragraph that ______.A. Wave is a basis for face-to-face communication on lineB. Wave allows people to look at e-mail from a new angleC. most Internet users will have access to WaveD. Wave is now as popular as standard e-mail39. What is the author's attitude toward Wave?A. Optimistic.B. Indifferent.C. Pessimistic.D. Critical.Passage TwoWell, it could not have got better for young Kavya Shivashankar, a13-year-old student from Olathe, Kansas as she came out very successfully at the Scripps National Spelling Bee 2009 (2009全美拼写大赛). On Thursday night she defeated the other 11 finalists to win the 82nd Scripps National Spelling Bee, taking home more than $40,000 cash money along with other prizes.Kavya Shivashankar, whose parents migrated to the United States from India, and who aims to become a doctor, enjoys playing the violin, bicycling, swimming and learning Indian classical dance.Thing came a bit late in Kavya’s life since she could win the championship with her fourth appearance in the competition. The last three times when she had taken part in the same competition she had finished Tenth, Eighth and Fourth.However, this time Kavya proved her courage and determination by winning the title she had been competing for so long. Her last challenge was to spell out " Laodicean". The word" Laodieean" means one who is indifferent, mostly in religious matters. She spelled it correctly and a big smile appeared on her face. Kavya wrote the words on her palm each time and spelled every word correctly.After winning Kavya exelaimed," I can’t believe it happened It feels kind of unreal. " Her family was there to support her through the competition. Her father, Mirle Shivashankar said, "The competitiveness is in her.., but she doesn’t show that. She still has that smile. That’s her quality. " He went on to say that this was" the moment" they had been waiting for so long. It was like" a dream come true" for them.40. Who is Kavya Shivashankar?A.

The image of a cabin represents his birthplace. Because Lincoln’s family was poor, and no one could have predicted his later importance, the actual cabin is long gone. Therefore the design is based on the "symbolic cabin" displayed at the Abraham Lincoln Birthplace National Historic Site in Kentucky.The other designs show Abraham taking a break to read a book, the young lawyer Lincoln in front of the Illinois state capitol and a Lincoln-free image of the half finished U. S. Capitol dome as it looked during his time in office. These four coins-produced with today’s standard mix of 97.5 percent zinc and 2.5 percent copper-are intended for general circulation.The Mint also released five collectible coins that sell for more than their face value. Special editions of the four penny designs were produced with the metal content used in 1909 ; a mix of 95 percent copper and 5 percent tin and zinc. In addition, in the world of "bigger" money,2009 has brought the Lincoln Commemorative One-Dollar Coin-made up of 90 percent silver and 10 percent copper-with an image that has a Gettysburg Address theme.44. What does Paragraph 2 tell about the cabin on the coins?A. It is a symbolic cabin rebuilt in Kentucky.B. It is newly built for producing new coins.C. It has been protected well for over 200 years.D. It is exactly the one where Lincoln was born.45.

Collectible Coins for Abraham LincolnPassage FourLaura and Anthony Valois are a young New York couple who have been trying in vain to have their first child. Several years ago, Belinda Ramirez read an Internet adoption listing and quickly contacted them from her home in Texas ,telling them they could adopt her unborn baby. Excited, Laura and Anthony spent weeks communicating with Ramirez and got regular updates on her pregnancy.Before long, Ramirez began to ask them for financial support. That took the Valoises by surprise. But they were willing to do a lot to ensure a smooth birth. They sent more than $1,000 to Ramirez over several months.Laura and Anthony finally drove to Texas so they could be on hand for the birth. But once they arrived,Ramirez avoided their daily phone calls. After three weeks, the couple drove back to New Yorkemptyhanded and emotionally crushed.They later learned Ramirez had been cheating about ten other peoplefor such things as Wal-mart gift cards in states ranging from California to Ohio to Florida. From start to finish, it was a scam.In fact, Ramirez was never even pregnant. She was sentenced to 24 months in prison as she deserved."

They warn that angry hostile feelings can lead to heart disease, stomach problems, headaches, emotional problems and possible cancer.Anger is a normal emotion that we all feel from time to time. Some people express anger openly in a calm reasonable way. Others explode with anger, and yell. But other people keep their anger inside. They can not or will not express it. This is called repressing(压制) anger. For years many doctors thought that compared with expressing anger, repressing anger was more dangerous to a person’s health. It may speed the heart rate, raise blood pressure or sugar into the blood and narrow the blood vessels. To avoid these problems, doctors thought a person should let the anger out by expressing it freely. But recently some doctors disputed this. They said that people who express anger repeatedly and explosively did cause, in fact, more and not less anger. They said these too can cause medical problems.Some doctors say that both repressing and expressing anger can be dangerous. Expressing anger intensively may be more likely to develop heart disease, and keeping anger inside may face a greater danger of high blood pressure. Doctors say the solution is learning how to deal with anger. They say the first step is to admit that you are angry and to recognize the real cause of the anger, then decide if the cause is serious enough to get angry about. If it isn’t, they say," Don’t express your anger while angry. Wait until your anger has cooled down and you are able to express yourself calmly and reasonably. "Doctors say that a good way to deal with anger is to find humor in the situation that has made you angry. They said that laughter is much healthier than anger.52. The passage mainly focuses on ______.A. the causes of angerB. the medical treatment of angerC. the health problems caused by angerD. reasonable ways of dealing with anger53. It can be concluded from the passage that ______.A. keeping anger inside is better than expressing it intensivelyB. both repressing and expressing anger cause health problemsC. keeping anger inside is more likely to cause heart diseaseD. expressing anger freely can avoid medical problems54. The author of the passage is most probably a(n) ______.A. patientB. editorC. psychologistD. surgeon55. According to the passage, a good way to control anger is ______.A. to do sportsB. to be high-spiritedC. to turn it into laughterD. to discuss it with doctorsⅤ.

Each passage isfollowed by some questions or unfinished statements. For eachof them there arefour choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice andmark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line throughthe centre.Passage OneThere is so muchmore meaning to a message than what exists in the spoken or written words. Forexample, if a person says, “you know, Barbara, I really like you,” it hasdifferent meanings depending on whether it is said by a man or a woman, in anoffice or a bar context, the tone of voice, the stress put on certain words, aswell as the eye contact, physical distance, and the relationship between thesparker and the listener are all factors which give meaning to what’s beingsaid. Sometimes, these factors can generate much more meaning than the wordsthemselves. If a friend say to me, “Gee, I can’t wait to see the result of theupcoming election.” my interpretation of that message will be based upon myknowledge of my friend’s political views, the situation with the currentcampaign, and my ability to understand the meaning behind the tone of voice.Our ability tounderstand such cue is developed without us being aware of it through ourprocess of socialization. Our interpretation of these cues just comesnaturally. Every culture has its own set of culture cues that each member ofthat culture understands. It’s common how a person from culture A and a personfrom culture B interpret the very same words in totally different ways. Hereare some examples:When “Sarcasm”Means“Sincerity”Marsha thought things were going well with her new French friends,particularly Bertrand. He often invited her to interesting and fun events, buthe was often making fun of her. One day at an art exhibition, while looking ata particularly abstract piece,Marsha said that she couldn’t understand whatthe artist was trying to express. Bertrand smiled and responded,” Yes, I’mafraid French art is far too advanced for Americans to understand.” Marsha wasupset; she really liked him and coul dn’t figure out what caused him tofrequently make fun of her. So, she asked her host mother about it. “My dear,”the host mother told her, “ This means that he really likes you. In France,when someone feels comfortable enough to make fun of you, that means that you havebeen welcomed as a very close friend.”When “Now” Doesn’tMean “Now”’Joshua, an American student in Heredia, Costa Rican invited his partnerto meet for coffee. When he asked what time they should meet, the response was“Nos encontramos ahora en elparquet”. “Ahora” literally means now. So, hegrabbed his jacket and headed straight to the park where they agreed to meet.Half an hour later, his friend arrived without the least sign of regret forbeing late. After discussing the matter with his Spanish teacher, Joshualearned that in Costa Rica, “Ahora” meanssometime within the hour. And, if people decide to meet some place like park,it is no problem for one or the other to wait for a while because they willspend some nice time in the park, probably running into some other friends, ormeeting someone friendly.When “Yes”Doesn’t Mean“Yes”Many business people might have experiencedthis frustrating situation in Japan. Sarah, a young businesswoman from NewYork, was sent to Japan to close a big deal for her company. While giving herpresentation, she became more and more certain of sale because her Japanesebusiness partnerscontinually nodded their heads as she spoke. When shefinished she thought the deal was made and asked when they would like to signthe agreement. She was shocked when she was told that they were not yet sure ifthey wanted to make the deal or not. What Sarah did not know is that in Japan,nodding head does not necessarily mean “yes” as it does in the US. It can alsomean “yes, I am listening and understanding what you are saying.”Passage TwoThe automobile hasgiven people incredible freedom of movement. It enables them to decide wherethey want to go andwhen. The automobile influences where people live and workand how they spend their leisure time. The striking changes in people’s livescreated by the automobile began in the United States and have since spreadacross much of the globe, especially in developed countries. But even indeveloping nations, the automobile is increasingly reshaping patterns ofliving.When the firstautomobiles were produced, only the well-to-docould afford them. Soon, however, prices declined as production increased inresponse to the growing demand. The lower prices put the automobile withinreach of more and more Americans. Well-off urban residents found car ownershipcheaper than keeping a horse and carriage. The growth in car ownership led tothe building of more and better roads, which further increased travelthroughout the nation. Before the development of automobiles, urban workerswalked, bicycled, or rode horse-drawn vehicles to their jobs. But as roadsimproved and car ownership expanded, workers no longer had to live near theirjobs.During the 1920s, peoplein U.S. cities increasingly moved to the suburbs because of the freedomprovided to the workers by automobile ownership. By the mid-1950s, even factories hadbegun to relocate in the suburbs. Wherever people have easy access toautomobiles, cars play a major role in social life and the choice ofrecreational activities. People find it fun to hop in the car and visit friendsand relatives, whether the drive takes a few minutes, hours, or days. Trips byautomobile help make it easy to organize picnics, family reunions, and otherget-togethers. Trips by automobile to such places as theme parks, nationalparks, and mountain and seashore resorts are a favorite type of vacation formany people.Passage ThreeTo become asuccess in high-tech Silicon Valley, Alan Aerts used low-tech skills and hardwork. He carried boxes of produce for a grocery store and sold bread torestaurants while launching a vending machine business that sells soft drinksand snack foods to workaholic computer engineers.In 1980, on hisroute as a bread salesman for a bakery, Aerts ran into the owner of a Pac Mangame control panel who was servicing his equipment at a restaurant in Oakland,California. Aerts, who always wore a shirt and tie on sales calls, wasimpressed by the other fellow’s jeans and T shirt and resolved to branch out onhis own.But capitalism requires capital, and Aertshad little money to spare. Living paycheck to paycheck with his wife andnewborn son, he worked days at the bakery and nights at a grocery store to paythe mortgage. During downtime between jobs, he developed his business strategy.“I’m sure I did every wrong thing you can possibly do,” says Aerts. “But I knewthat with enough hard work, it would all make sense.”To get hisbusiness off the ground, he relied on a second mortgage and credit cards,sometimes paying rates as high as 19%, to buy video game and vending machines.After purchasing several machines at retail price, he realized he could buythem directly from the manufacturers for less. And he learned that vendingmachines were more profitable than video games, which needed to be replacedfrequently to keep up with the fickletastes of gamers. Aerts used the contacts he made through his bakery job toprospect for new business. To hedge his bets, he put in ten years at thegrocery store to earn a modest pension.Today, Aerts’scompany, Custom Vendi ng Systems, is the largest privately owned vendor in theregion. He says business is booming as the Valley’s economy blossoms after its2000 bust. In 2005, Aerts and his wife donated $ 2.5 million to fundscholarships at the local community college. He’s stil l busy around theclock, but now he dedicates evenings and weekends to charity work and localpolitics instead of a second job.Section BDirections: Matchthe Chinese sentences with their EnglishEquivalents.Part 1Part 2。

We’ve heard everything from, “ Sure she’s a good kid, but just wait, n ow that she’s a teenager ...” to the ever inspiring, “Well, all kids are rotten when they are teenagers, just try to go through it the best way you can.” What’s more upsetting is that many of these insensitive adults feel the need to share their negative predictions well within the hearing of both our daughters. I know that teenagers can be moody and difficult at times, but I’m 32 and I can also be difficult and moody. We worry about the future and want today’s kids to know that we care for them and that th ere are opportunities that await them. However, at the very point they set out on that journey toward adulthood we stand there watching them disapprovingly, just waiting for them to make a mistake, “just like we knew they would.” We tell them to respect th emselves and to say no to drugs, yet we fail to set a positive example by treating them with kindness and consideration, demonstrating our respect for them. I have, at times, been guilty of this behavior but am now realizing that the more I see each person as a person, the more I am pleasantly surprised in some way or another. For example, a few weeks ago my husband and I were having dinner at our favorite restaurant and two teenage boys came in and sat down right beside us. I must admit that my first thoug ht was, “Perfect, there goes our quiet, peaceful dinner.” I was so wrong! These young men were well behaved, quiet, and left a nice tip for the waitress. Once I looked beyond the jeans so loose they were practically falling off and the multi-colored hair, I saw what fine people these kids were.Many of the people who, perhaps unknowingly, treat teens with disrespect are unhappyabout the fact that pop singers and sports stars are our children’s heroes. I feel that unless we give them something better to g o after, we really shouldn’t complain.41. When their children reach their teens, parents usually expect ______.A. troubleB. sympathyC. congratulationsD. inspiring comments42. In the author’s opinion, the trouble with parents is that ______.A. they are too watchful of their teenage childrenB. they are too concerned about their children’s futureC. they fail to treat teenagers with sufficient kindness and respectD. they speak ill of their children within their hearing43. When two teenagers came into the restaurant and sat beside the author, her first thought was ______.A. her quiet dinner with her husband would be ruinedB. something interesting was going to happen over dinnerC. they were wrong to have chosen this restaurant for dinnerD. she and her husband were going to have a pleasant surprise44. What does the author think of the two teenage boys?A. They are typical of teenagers who wear ill-fitting clothes and dye their hair.B. They may become nice people if they are willing to change their lifestyle.C. They are fine young men despite their loose jeans and multi-colored hair.D. They will respect you if you respect them.45. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?A. There is nothing wrong with teenagers admiring pop singers and sport stars.B. Pop singers and sport stars should not be heroes of our children.C. If our children admire pop singers and sports stars, it is the parents who are to blame.D. Parents should set a good example for their children to follow.Passage TwoMore and more, the operations of our businesses, governments, and financial institutions are controlled by information that exists only inside computer memories. Anyone clever enough to modify this information for his own purposes can reap big reward. Even worse, a number of people who have done this and been caught at it have managed to get away without punishment.It’s easy for computer crimes to go undetected if no one checks up on what thecomputer is doing. But even if the crime is detected, the criminal may walk away not only unpunished but with a glowing recommendation from his former employers.Of course, we have no statistics on crimes that go undetected. But it’s disturbing to notehow many of the crimes we do know about were detected by accident, not by systematicinspections or other security procedures. The computer criminals who have been caught may have been the victims of uncommonly bad luck.Unlike other lawbreakers, who must leave the country, commit suicide, or go to jail, computer criminals sometimes escape punishment, demanding not only that they not be charged but that they be given good recommendations and perhaps other benefits. All too often, their demands have been met.Why? Because company executives are afraid of the bad publicity that would result ifthe public found out that their computer had been misused. They hesitate at the thought of a criminal boasting in open court of how he juggled (篡改) the most confidential (保密)records right under the noses of the company’s executives, accountants, and security staff.And so another computer criminal departs with just the recommendations he needs tocontinue his crimes elsewhere.46. It can be concluded from the passage that ______.A. it is still impossible to detect computer crimes todayB. people commit computer crimes at the request of their companyC. computer criminals escape punishment because they can’t be detectedD. computer crimes are the most serious problem in the operation of financial institutions47. It is implied in the third paragraph that ______.A. most computer criminals who are caught blame their bad luckB. the rapid increase of computer crimes is a troublesome problemC. most computer criminals are smart enough to cover up their crimesD. many more computer crimes, which are discovered, go undetected48. Which of the following statements is mentioned in the passage?A. A strict law against computer crimes must be enforced.B. Companies usually hesitate to uncover computer crimes to protect their reputation.C. Companies will guard against computer crimes to protect their reputation.D. Companies need to impose restrictions on confidential information.49. What may happen to computer criminals once they are caught?A. With a bad reputation they can hardly find another job.B. They may walk away and easily find another job.C. They will be denied access to confidential records.D. They must leave the country to go to jail.50. The passage is mainly about ______.A. why computer criminals are often able to escape punishmentB. why computer crimes are difficult to be detected by systematic inspectionsC. how computer criminals mange to get good recommendations from their formeremploy ersD. why computer crimes can’t be eliminatedPassage ThreeAnother cultural aspect of nonverbal communication is one that you might not thinkabout: space. Every person perceives himself to have a sort of invisible shield surroundinghis physical body. When someone comes too close, he feels uncomfortable. When he bumps onto someone, he feels obligated to apologize. But the size of a person’s “comfort zone” depends on his cultural ethnic origin. For example, in casual conversation, many Americans stand about four feet apart. In other words, they like to keep each other “at arm’s length”, people in Latin or Arab cultures, in contrast, stand very close to each other, and touch each other often. If someone from one of those cultures stands too close to an American while in conversation, the American may feel uncomfortable and back away.When Americans are talking, they expect others to respond to what they are saying. ToAmericans, polite conversationalists empathize by displaying expressions of excitement ordi sgust, shock or sadness. People with a “poker face”, whose emotions are hidden by adeadpan expression, are looked upon with suspicion. Americans also indicate theirattentiveness in a conversation by raising their eyebrows, nodding, smiling politely andmaintaining good eye contact. Whereas some cultures view direct eye contact as impolite or threatening, Americans see it as a sign of genuineness and honesty. If a person doesn’t look you in the eye, American might say, you should question his motives—or as sume that he doesn’t like you. Yet with all the concern for eye contact, Americans still considerstaring—especially at strangers—to be rude.51. What the author discussed in the previous section is most probably about______.A. classification of nonverbal communicationB. the reasons why people should think about spaceC. the relationship between communication and spaceD. some other cultural aspects of nonverbal communication52. How far people keep to each other while talking is closely associated with their______.A. cultural originB. habitsC. customD. nationality53. When an Italian talks to an Arabian on informal occasions______.A. he stands about four feet awayB. “comfort zone” does not existC. keeping close enough is preferredD. communication barriers may emerge54. A “poker face” (Line 3, Para. 2) refers to a face which is______.A. attentiveB. emotionalC. suspiciousD. expressionless55. In a conversation between friends, Americans regard it as sincere and truthful to____.A. maintain direct eye contactB. hide emotions with a deadpan expressionC. display excitement or disgust, shock or sadnessD. raise their eyebrows, nod and smile politelyPassage FourAfter the violent earthquake that shook Los Angeles in 1994, earthquake scientists had good news to report; the damage and death toll (死亡人数) could have been much worse.More than 60 people died in this earthquake. By comparison, an earthquake of similar intensity that shook America in 1988 claimed 25, 000 victims. Injuries and deaths were relatively less in Los Angeles because the quake o ccurred at 4:31 a.m. on a holiday, when traffic was light on the city’s highways. In addition, changes made to the construction codes in Los Angeles during the last 20 years have strengthened the city’s buildings and highways, making them more resistant to quakes.Despite the good news, civil engineers aren’t resting on their successes. Pinned to their drawing boards are blueprints (蓝图的) for improved quake-resistant buildings. The new designs should offer even greater security to cities where earthquakes often take place. In the past, making structures quake-resistant meant firm yet flexible materials, such as steel and wood, which bend without breaking. Later, people tried to lift a building off its foundation, and insert rubber and steel between the building and its foundation to reduce the impact of ground vibrations. The most recent designs give buildings brains as well as concrete and steel supports, called smart buildings, the structures respond like living organisms to an earthquake’s vibrations. When the ground shakes and the building tips forward, the computer would force the building to shift in the opposite direction. The new smart structures could be very expensive to build. However, they would save many lives and would be less likely to be damaged during earthquakes.56. One reason why the loss of lives in the Los Angeles earthquake was comparatively low is that______.A. new computers had been installed in the buildingsB. it occurred in the residential areas rather than on the highwaysC. large numbers of Los Angeles residents had gone for a holidayD. improvements had been made in the construction of buildings and highways57. The function of the computer mentioned in the passage is to ______.A. counter-balance an earthquake’s action on the buildingB. predict the coming of an earthquake with accuracyC. help strengthen the foundation of the buildingD. measure the impact of an earthquake’s vibrations58. The smart buildings discussed in the passage ______.A. would cause serious financial problemsB. would be worthwhile though costlyC. would increase the complexity of architectural designD. can reduce the ground vibrations caused by earthquakes59. It can be inferred from the passage that in minimizing the damage caused by earthquakes attention should be focused on ______.A. the increasing use of rubber and steel in capital constructionB. the development of flexible building materialsC. the reduction of the impact of ground vibrationsD. early forecasts of earthquakes60. The author’s main purpose in writing the passage is to______.A. compare the consequences of the earthquakes that occurred in the U. S.B. encourage civil engineers to make more extensive use of computersC. outline the history of the development of quake-resistant building materialsD. report new developments in constructing quake-resistant buildingPart III Cloze (20 points)Directions: There are 20 blanks in the following passage.

Each passage is followed by some questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Y ou should choose the ONE best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a pencil.Questions 41 ~ 45 are based on the following passage:It is the duty of every man to work. The lazy man wastes his time, and his life is of no use to himself or to others. The man who is too lazy to work is the man who is generally most ready to beg or steal. Every one when he is young should learn some useful work.But it is not enough that one should learn some kind of work. He should work hard, and not waste his spare minutes or half hours. “Work while you work and play while you play” is as good a rule for young people as for the old.There is no better aid to diligence than the habit of early rising, and this, like all other good habits, is most easily formed in youth.There is an English saying “Lost time never returns.” This means that everybody must be diligent, and must make a good use of his time. One must study hard when he isyoung, so that he may succeed in his life and become useful to his country.I have never heard that those who are diligent will become beggars, but I know that lazy fellows will become beggars. Therefore, I should say that diligence is the mother of success.41. The best title of the passage could be “_____”A. Learn to workB. diligenceC. Early Rising Is a Good HabitD. Students Should Study Hard42. According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?A.Habits are easily formed when one is young.B.Old people can easily form the habit of getting up earlyC.One should be diligentD.A lazy man is likely to be harmful to society43. From the passage, we can concluded that ______.A.diligence can always help one to achieve successB. laziness always leads to theftC. “Lost time never returns” is a law of physicsD. youth is the only important period in life44. According to the passage, the best way to make a person diligent is ___.A. to make good use of his timeB. to learn some useful workC. to work hardD. to get up early45. From the passage, we can guess that the author of the passage is ____.A. a lazy manB. a beggarC. a diligent manD. a writerQuestions 46~50 are based on the following passage:Some of the notebooks George Washington kept as a young man show what he was learning. He was learning Latin. He was very interested in the basics of good behavior in society and was reading English literature.At school he seems to have been interested in mathematics. In fact his formal education was surprisingly brief and incomplete. For unlike other young men of good families, he did not go to the College of William and Mary in the Virginian capital. In terms of formal training then, Washington was different from some other early American Presidents such as John Adams, Thomas Jefferson and James Madison. In later years, Washington probably regretted his lack of intellectual training. He never felt comfortable in a debate in Congress, or on any subject that had nothing to do with everyday practical matters. And because he never learned French and could not speak directly to the Frenchleaders, he did not visit the country he admired so much. Thus, unlike Jefferson and Adams, he never reached Europe.46. What reason does the author give for Washington not going to college?A.His family could not afford it.B.A college education was rather uncommon in his time.C.He didn’t like the young V irginian men of good famili es who went to college.D.The author doesn’t give any reason.47. Washington felt uncomfortable in Congress debates because he _____.cked practice in public speakingB.felt his education was not enoughC.didn’t like arguing and debating with peopleD.felt the others were being impractical48. The reason why Washington didn’t visit France was probably that he ____.A.didn’t really care about goingB.did not know the French leadersC.could not communicate directly with the French leadersD.was too busy to travel49. According to the author, ____.A.Washington’s lack of formal education placed him at a disadvantage in later lifeB.Washington should have gone to France even though he could not speak FrenchC.Washington was not as good a president as Adams, Jefferson or MadisonD.Washington was a model for all Virginian men of good families50. The main idea of the passage is that Washington’s education ____.A.was of great variety, covering many subjectsB.was probable equal to those of most young men of good families at that timeC.may seem poor by modern standards, but was good enough for his timeD.was rather limited for a presidentQuestions 51~55 are based on the following passage:The American definition of success is largely one of acquiring wealth and a high material standard of living. It is not surprising, therefore, that Americans have valued education for its monetary value. The belief is widespread in the United States that the more schooling people have, the more money they will earn when they leave school. The belief is strongest regarding the desirability of a undergraduate university degree, or a professional degree such as medicine or law following the undergraduate degree. The monetary value of graduate degree in “nonprofessional ” fields such as art, history, orphilosophy is not as great.The belief in the monetary value of education is supported by statistics on income. Ben Wattenberg, a social scientist, estimated that in the course of a lifetime a man with a college degree in 1972 would earn about $380 000 more than a man with just a high school diploma. Perhaps this helps to explain survey findings which showed that the Americans who wished they had lived their lives differently on some way regretted most of all that they did not get more education.51. What most Americans like most about higher education is ____.A. its cultural valueB. its monetary valueC. its moral valueD. its material value52. According to the passage, which of the following statements is not true?A.Americans take success as acquiring wealth and a higher material standard ofliving.B.In American people’s mind eyes, education has its monetary value.cation is the only way to acquire wealth.D.A person’s income is related to his schooling.53. The passage says that people have stronger desire to ____.A. study medicineB. study historyC. study lawD. both A and C54. In the survey findings, some Americans regretted ____.A.not having much educationB.having too much unnecessary educationC.living differentlyD.earning $ 380 00055. In this passage, the writer wanted to show us ____.A.the earlier you start to work, the better you livecation is very important in the American societyC.people with little education are looked down upon by others everywhere in theUnited StatesD.Americans take money seriouslyIII.

Y ou should choose the oneanswer that best fits into the passage. Then blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a pencil.About 485 years ago, a man stood alone on the coast of Spain. He looked toward the west and said to himself, “The earth cannot be flat. If I sail westward, 56 I shall hit land, India perhaps, and the queen will have a new and shorter 57 to the riches of that country.”Christopher Columbus told his idea to Queen Isabella of Spain. She give 58 three men. And Columbus sailed westward for many weeks, through 59 seas.60, he saw land: a group of islands now called the West Indians. Columbus was sure it was India, and he called the natives “Indos”.Stories of what Columbus found quickly 61 across Europe. His word “Indos” became “Indians” to the English. 62 all the natives of the West Indias and Central America became known as “Indians”.Christopher Columbus 63 four trips to the New World. Y et, he died in Spain without knowing where he had been. He died 64 he had sailed to India.It was soon learned that Columbus had made a mistake. 65 the word “Indian” was well established in Europe.The first 66 who arrived in North Carolina and Birginia in the early 1600’s called the natives Indians. This name spread north 67 the colonies of Maryland, New Y ork, Pennsylvania and New England were settled.Today the word is used to 68 the descendants of the first peoples of North and South America. In the far north they are called Eakimos. And in the far south 69 are the Patagonians and the Fuegians.Students and scholars have long known 70 the American Indians were not really Indians 71 . And one scholar proposed a name that he believed would be better—Amerinds. He made up this name by 72 American and Indian. This word is often used today by other scholars, but the general 73 has heard little of it.Word experts say the name Indian may be wrong but we are stuck with it.

A computation which would have taken years of human work in the past is now done in a few seconds. (77) A number of various complicated problems which could not be solved before have been solved with the help of computers.Accurate measurement and exact computation are the bases of modern engineering and scientific research. Every engineering worker must determine accurately the amount of any change that the material to be used undergoes in different conditions.And every science worker will have to make numerous accurate computations before he can say that the results of his experiment are correct. (78) Y et there exist complex computations in science and engineering which science workers are unable to make because they are too long and too complicate. Here is an example which can illustratehow much time some of them may take. In order to solve a complicated chemical problem a chemistry worker must make about four million operations. (79) It would take him years to work the problem out, while electronic computing machine would do the same job only in a few second.We may divide electronic computers into two groups: machines that can control and those that can count. The former is used in satellites, guided missiles, weather-forecasting instruments and other devices, both simple and sophisticated. And the later can add, subtract, multiply and divide. (80) Such machines are to do any operation which we can reduce to arithmetic. Besides, they are able to combine many problems and take them in any order.V.

The hot liquid got higher and higher and spread wider and wider. In this way, an island rose up in the sea.As time went on, hot sun and cool rains made the rock split and break to pieces. Sea waves hit against the rock. In this way, soil and sand came into being.Nothing lived on the naked soil. And then the wind and birds brought plant seeds, spiders and other little living things there. Only plants could grow first. Only they, in sunlight, could produce food from the soil, water and air. While many animals landed on the island, they could find no food. A spider made its web uselessly, because there were no insects(昆虫) for its web to catch. Insects couldn't stay until there were plants for them to eat. So plants had to be the first life on this new island.61. The passage centers on .A、how an undersea volcano broke outB、how an island rose up in the seaC、how soil was formed on a new islandD、how life began on a volcano-produced island62. According to the passage, the island got its first soil from .A、sea wavesB、the sand brought by the windC、its own rockD、cool rains63. The word “naked” (Para. 3) could be replaced by which of the following?A、Red.B、New.C、Old.D、Bare.64.

According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?A、Spiders were the first life that could live on the island.B、The island is far away from any piece of land.C、Insects could not live on the island without plants.D、Plants were brought to the island by human beings.65.参考答案：C参考解析：［考点］事实细节题【精析】C题干的大意是：根据文章，下列哪个选项正确？根据第三段最后一句可知，植物是岛上第一个出现的事物，A项不正确；B项文中并未提及；根据第三段第二句，植物是由风和小鸟带来的，所以D项也不正确。
2010英语专转本试卷
2010年专转本英语考试试卷第I卷(共100分)Part I Reading Comprehension(共20小题,每小题2分,共40分)Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage .Sometimes you’ll hear people say that you can’t love others until you love yourself. Sometimes you’ll hear people say that you can’t expect someone else to love you until you love yourself. Either way, you’ve got to love yourself first and this can be tricky. Sure we all know that we’re the apple of our parents’eyes , and that our Grandmas think We’re great talents and our Uncle Roberts think that we will go to the Olympics, but sometimes it’s a lot harder to think such nice thoughts about ourselves. If you find that believing in yourself is a challenge, it is time you built a positive self-image and learnt to love yourself.Self-image is your own mind’s picture of yourself. This image includes the way you look, the way you act, the way you talk and the way you think. Interestingly, our self-images are often quite different from the images others hold about us. Unfortunately, most of these images are more negative than they should be. Thus changing the way you think about yourself is the key to changing your self-image and your whole world.The best way to defeat a passive self-image is to step back and decide to stress your successes. That is, make a list if you need to, but write down all of the great things you do every day. Don’t allow doubts to occur in it.It very well might be that you are experiencing a negative self-image because you can’t move past one flaw or weakness that you see about yourself. Well, roll up your sleeves and make a change of it as your primary task. If you think you’re silly because you aren’t good at math, find a tutor. If you think you’re weak because you can’t run a mile, get to the track and practice .If you think you’re dull because you don’t wear the latest trends, buy a few new clothes.The best way to get rid of a negative self-image is to realize that your image is far from objective and to actively convince yourself of your positive qualities. Changing the way you think and working on those you need to improve will go a long way towards promoting a positive self-image. When you can pat yourself on the back, you’ll know you’re well on your way.( )1.You need to build a positive self-image when you________.A. dare to challenge yourselfB. feel it hard to change yourselfC. are unconfident about yourselfD. have a high opinion of yourself( )2.According to the passage, our self-images________.A. have positive effectsB. are probably untrueC. are often changeableD. have different functions( )3.How should you change your serf-image according to the passage?A. Keep a different image of others.B. Make your life successful.C. Understand your ownD. Change the way you think.( )4.What is the passage mainly about?A. How to prepare for your success.B. How to face challenges in your life.C. How to build a positive self-image.D. How to develop your good qualities.( )5.Who are the intended readers of the passage?A. Parents.B. AdolescentsC. EducatorsD. People in general.Passage 2Questions6 to 10 are based on the following passage.Do you want to live with a strong sense of peacefulness, happiness, goodness, and self-respect? The collection of happiness actions broadly categorized as“honor”help you create this life of good feelings.Here’s an example to show how honorable actions create happiness.Say a store clerk fails to charge us for an item. If we keep silent, and profit from the clerk’s mistake, we would drive home with a sense of sneaky excitement. Later we might tell our family or friends about our good fortune. On the other hand, if we tell the clerk about the uncharged item, the clerk would be grateful and thank us for our honesty. We would leave the store with a quiet sense of honor that we might never share with another soul.Then, what is it to do with our sense of happiness?In the first case, where we don’t tell the clerk, a couple of things would happen. Deep down inside we would know ourselves as a type of thief. In the process, we would lose some peace of mind and self-respect .We would also demonstrate that we cannot be trusted, since we advertise our dishonor by telling our family and friends. We damage our own reputations by telling others. In contrast, bringing the error to the clerk’s attention causes different things to happen. Immediately the clerk knows us to be honorable. Upon leaving the store, we feel honorable and our self-respect is increased. Whenever we take honorable actions we gain the deep internal rewards of goodness and a sense of nobility.There is a beautiful positive cycle that is created by living a life of honorable actions. Honorable thoughts lead to honorable actions. Honorable actions lead us to a happier existence. And it’s easy to think and act honorably again when we’re happy. While the positive cycle can be difficult to start, once it’s started, it’s easy to continue. Keeping on doing good deeds brings us peace of mind, which is important for our happiness.( )6.According to the passage, the positive action in the example contributes to our_______.A. self-respectB. financial rewardsC. advertising abilityD. friendly relationship ( )7. The author thinks that keeping silent about the uncharged item is equal to______.A.1yingB. stealingC. cheatingD. advertising( )8. The phrase “bringing the error t o clerk’s attention” (Para.5)means________.A. telling the truth to the clerkB. offering advice to the clerkC. asking the clerk to be more attentiveD. reminding the clerk of the charged item ( )9.How will we feel if we let the clerk know the mistake?A. We’ll be very excited.B. We’ll feel unfortunate.C. We’11 have a sense of honor.D. We’ll feel sorry for the clerk.( )10.Which of the following can be the best title of this passage?A. How to Live TruthfullyB. Importance of PeacefulnessC. Ways of Gaining Self-respectD. Happiness through HonorablePassage 3Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage .“Sesame Street”(芝麻街)has been called“the longest street in the world”.That is because the television program by that name can now be seen in so many parts of the world. That program became one of America’s exports soon after it went on the air in the New York in 1969.In the United States more than six million children watch the program regularly. The viewers include more than half of the nation’s pre-school children. Although some educators object to certain elements in the program, parents praise it highly. Many teachers also consider it a great help, though some teachers find that problems arise when first graders who have learned from“Sesame Street”are in the same class with children who have not watched the program.The program uses songs, stories, jokes and pictures to give children a basic understanding of numbers, letters and human relationships. Tests have shown that children have benefited from watching“Sesame Street”.Those who watch five times a week learn more than the occasional viewers. In the United States the program is shown at different times during the week in order to increase the number of children who can watch it regularly.Why has“sesame street”been so much more successful than other children’s shows? Many reasons have been suggested. People mention the. educational theories of its creators, the support by the government and private businesses, and the skillful use of a variety of TV tricks. Perhaps an equally important reason is that mothers watch“Sesame Street”along with their children. This is party because famous adult stars often appear on“Sesame Street”. But the best reason for the success of the program may be that it makes every child watching it feel able to learn. The child finds himself learning, and he wants to learn more.( )11.Why has“Sesame Street” been called“the longest street in the World'”?A. The program has been shown ever since1969.B. The program became one of America’s major exports soon after it appeared on TV.C. The program is now being watched in most parts of the world.D. The program is made in the longest street in New York.( )12.Some educators are critical of the program because ________.A. they don’t think it fit for children in every respect.B. it takes the children too much time to watch it.C. it causes problems between Children who have watched it and those who have notD. some parents attach too much importance to it( )13. So many children in the United States watch the program because_________.A. it uses songs, stories and jokes to give them basic knowledgeB. it is arranged for most children to watch it regularlyC. tests have shown that it is beneficial to themD. both A and B( ) 14.Mothers often watch the program along with their children because_________.A. they enjoy the program as much as their childrenB. they find their children have benefited from watching the programC. they are attracted by some famous adult stars on the showD. they can learn some educational theories from the program( )15.What is the most important reason for the success of the program according to the author?A. The creators have good educational theories in making the program.B. The young viewers find they can learn something from it.C. Famous adult stars often appear in the program.D. It gets support from the government and private businesses.Passage 4Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.You will have no difficulty in making contact with the Agent. As you enter his office, you will be greeted immediately and politely asked what you are looking for. The Estate Agent’s Negotiator (房地产推销员)——as he is called——will probably check that you really know your financial position. No harm in that, but you can always tell him that you have confirmed the position with the XYZ Building Society. He will accept that.He will show you the details of a whole range of properties；many of them are not really what you are looking for at a11.That does not matter. Far better turn them down than risk missing the right one.The printed details he will give you are called“particulars”.Over the years, a whole language has grown up, solely for use in Agent’s particulars. It is flowery, ornate (华丽的) and, providing you read it carefully and discount the adjectives, it can be very accurate and helpful.Since the passing of the Trades Description Act, any trader trying to sell something has had to be very careful as to what they say about it. Estate Agents have, by now, become very competent at going as far as they dare. For instance, it is quite acceptable to say“delightfully situated”. That is an expression of his opinion. You may not agree, but he might like the idea of living next to the gasworks. If, on the other hand, he says that the house has five bedrooms when, in fact, it has only two, that is a misstatement of fact and is an offence. This has made Estate Agents, and others for that matter, rather more careful.Basically, all that you need to know about a house is：how many bedrooms it has；an indication of their size；whether the house has a garage；whether there is a garden and whether it is at the back or the front of the house；whether it is semi-detached or terraced(联排的).( )16.The Estate Agent’s Negotiator will _______.A. want all the details of your financial circumstancesB. want to satisfy himself that you understand the financial implications of buying a houseC. check your financial position with the XYZ Building SocietyD. accept any statement you make about your financial position（）17.The author believes_________.A. it is better to be given information about too many properties than too fewB. you should only look at details of properties of the kind you have decided to buyC. the agent will only show you the details of properties you have in mindD. it doesn’t matter if you miss a few properties you may be interested in( )18.The adjectives in Agent’s particulars are _________.A. accurateB. helpfulC. both accurate and helpfulD. safe to ignore( )19.The Trades Description Act applies ________.A. house agents onlyB. most estate agentsC. any traderD. buyers of houses( )20.The phrase“going as far as they dare”(Para.4)probably means_________.A. covering as wide an area as possibleB. selling houses as far from the estate agent's houses as possibleC. telling lies about properties if nobody is likely to find out about it .D. trying every possible means to make the description of houses sound attractivePart II Vocabulary and Structure (共40小题,每小题1分,共40分)( )21.Scientists will have to________ new methods of increasing the world’s food supply in order to solve the problem of famine in some places.A. come up forB. come down withC. come down toD. come up with( )22.I’d like to rent a house, modem, comfortable and _______ in a quiet and safe neighborhood.A. all in allB. above allC. after allD. over all( )23.

Each passage is followed by some ques tions or incomplete statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C, and D. You should decide on the best choice and then mark the corresponding l etter on the ANSWEAR SHEET.Passage OneEver since Stephanie’s 13th birthday we have been receiving com ments from other adults expressing their sympathies because our daughter is now a teenager. We’ve heard everythi ng from, “ Sure she’s a good kid, but just wait, now that she’s a teenager ...” to the eve r inspiring, “Well, all kids are rotten when they are teenagers, just try to go through it th e best way you can.” What’s more upsetting is that many of these insensitive adults feel the need to share their negative predictions well within the hearing of both our daughters.I know that teenagers can be moody a nd difficult at times, but I’m 32 and I can also b e difficult and moody. We worry about the future and want today’s kids to know that we care for them and that there are opportunities that await them. However, at the very poi nt they set out on that journey toward adulthood we stand there watching them disapprovi ngly, just waiting for them to make a mistake, “just like we knew they would.” We tell t hem to respect themselves and to say no to drugs, yet we fail to set a positive example by treating them with kindness and consideration, demonstrating our respect for them. I ha ve, at times, been guilty of this behavior but am now realizing that the more I see each person as a person, the more I am pleasantly surprised in some way or another. For exa mple, a few weeks ago my husband and I were having dinner at our favorite restaurant a nd two teenage boys came in and sat down right beside us. I must admit that my first th ought was, “Perfect, there goes our quiet, peaceful dinner.” I was so wrong! These young men were well behaved, quiet, and left a nice tip for the waitress. Once I looked beyon d the jeans so loose they were practically falling off and the multi-colored hair, I saw wh at fine people these kids were.Many of the people who, perhaps unknowingly, treat teens with disrespect are unhappy about the fact that pop singers and sports stars are our children’s heroes. I feel that unles s we give them something better to go after, we really shouldn’t complain.41. When their children reach their teens, parents usually expect ______.A. troubleB. sympathyC. congratulationsD. inspiring comments42. In the author’s opinion, the trouble with parents is that ______.A. they are too watchful of their teenage childrenB. they are too concerned about their children’s futur eC. they fail to treat teenagers with sufficient kindness and respectD. they speak ill of their children within their hearing43. When two teenagers came into the restaurant and sat beside the author, her first thoug ht was ______.A. her quiet dinner with her husband would be ruinedB. something interesting was going to happen over dinnerC. they were wrong to have chosen this restaurant for dinnerD. she and her husband were going to have a pleasant surprise44. What does the author think of the two teenage boys?A. They are typical of teenagers who wear ill-fitting clothes and dye their hair.B. They may become nice people if they are willing to change their lifestyle.C. They are fine young men despite their loose jeans and multi-colored hair.D. They will respect you if you respect them.45. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?A. There is nothing wrong with teenagers admiring pop singers and sport stars.B. Pop singers and sport stars should not be heroes of our children.C. If our children admire pop singers and sports stars, it is the parents who are to blame.D. Parents should set a good example for their children to follow.Passage TwoMore and more, the operations of our businesses, governments, and financial institutions ar e controlled by information that exists only inside computer memories. Anyone clever eno ugh to modify this information for his own purposes can reap big reward. Even worse, a number of people who have done this and been caught at it have managed to get away without punishment.It’s easy for computer crimes to go undetected if no one checks up on what the computer is doing. But even if the crime is detected, the criminal may walk away not onl y unpunished but with a glowing recommendation from his former employers.Of course, we have no statistics on crimes that go undetected. But it’s disturbing to note how many of the crimes we do know about were detected by accident, not by systematic inspections or other security procedures. The computer criminals who have been caught m ay have been the victims of uncommonly bad luck.Unlike other lawbreakers, who must leave the country, commit suicide, or go to jail, co mputer criminals sometimes escape punishment, demanding not only that they not be char ged but that they be given good recommendations and perhaps other benefits. All too ofte n, their demands have been met.Why? Because company executives are afraid of the bad publicity that would result ifthe public found out that their computer had been misused. They hesitate at the thought o f a criminal boasting in open court of how he juggled (篡改) the most confidential (保密) records right under the noses of the company’s executives, accountants, and security staff. And so another computer criminal departs with just the recommendations he needs to continue his crimes elsewhere.46. It can be concluded from the passage that ______.A. it is still impossible to detect computer crimes todayB. people commit computer crimes at the request of their companyC. computer criminals escape punishment because they can’t be detectedD. computer crimes are the most serious problem in the operation of financial institutions47. It is implied in the third paragraph that ______.A. most computer criminals who are caught blame their bad luckB. the rapid increase of computer crimes is a troublesome problemC. most computer criminals are smart enough to cover up their crimesD. many more computer crimes, which are discovered, go undetected48. Which of the following statements is mentioned in the passage?A. A strict law against computer crimes must be enforced.B. Companies usually hesitate to uncover computer crimes to protect their reputation.C. Companies will guard against computer crimes to protect their reputation.D. Companies need to impose restrictions on confidential information.49. What may happen to computer criminals once they are caught?A. With a bad reputation they can hardly find another job.B. They may walk away and easily find another job.C. They will be denied access to confidential records.D. They must leave the country to go to jail.50. The passage is mainly about ______.A. why computer criminals are often able to escape punishmentB. why computer crimes are difficult to be detected by systematic inspectionsC. how computer criminals mange to get good recommendations from their former employersD. why computer crimes can’t be eliminatedPassage ThreeAnother cultural aspect of nonverbal communication is one that you might not think about: space. Every person perceives himself to have a sort of invisible shield surrounding his physical body. When someone comes too close, he feels uncomfortable. When he bum ps onto someone, he feels obligated to apologize. But the size of a person’s “comfort zon e” depends on his cultural ethnic origin. For example, in casual conversation, many Ameri cans stand about four feet apart. In other words, they like to keep each other “at arm’s le ngth”, people in Latin or Arab cultures, in contrast, stand very close to each other, and to uch each other often. If someone from one of those cultures stands too close to an Ameri can while in conversation, the American may feel uncomfortable and back away.When Americans are talking, they expect others to respond to what they are saying. To Americans, polite conversationalists empathize by displaying expressions of excitement or disgust, shock or sadness. People with a “poker face”, whose emotions are hidden by a deadpan expression, are looked upon with suspicion. Americans also indicate their attentiveness in a conversation by raising their eyebrows, nodding, smiling politely and maintaining good eye contact. Whereas some cultures view direct eye contact as impolite or threatening, Americans see it as a sign of genuineness and honesty. If a person doesn’t look you in the eye, American might say, you should question his motives—or assume t hat he doesn’t like you. Yet with all the concern for eye contact, Americans still consider staring—especially at strangers—to be rude.51. What the author discussed in the previous section is most probably about______.A. classification of nonverbal communicationB. the reasons why people should think about spaceC. the relationship between communication and spaceD. some other cultural aspects of nonverbal communication52. How far people keep to each other while talking is closely associated with their_____ _.A. cultural originB. habitsC. customD. nationality53. When an Italian talks to an Arabian on informal occasions______.A. he stands about four feet awayB. “comfort zone” does not ex istC. keeping close enough is preferredD. communication barriers may emerge54. A “poker face” (Line 3, Para. 2) refers to a face which is______.A. attentiveB. emotionalC. suspiciousD. expressionless55. In a conversation between friends, Americans regard it as sincere and truthful to____.A. maintain direct eye contactB. hide emotions with a deadpan expressionC. display excitement or disgust, shock or sadnessD. raise their eyebrows, nod and smile politelyPassage FourAfter the violent earthquake that shook Los Angeles in 1994, earthquake scientists had good news to report; the damage and death toll (死亡人数) could have been much worse. More than 60 people died in this earthquake. By comparison, an earthquake of similarintensity that shook America in 1988 claimed 25, 000 victims. Injuries and deaths were relatively less in Los Angeles because the quake occurred at 4:31 a.m. on a holiday, whe n traffic was light on the city’s highways. In addition, changes made to the construction c odes in Los Angeles during the last 20 years have strengthened the city’s buildings and h ighways, making them more resistant to quakes.Despite the good news, civil engineers aren’t resting on their successes. Pinned to their drawing boards are blueprints (蓝图的) for improved quake-resistant buildings. The new designs should offer even greater security to cities where earthquakes often take place. In the past, making structures quake-resistant meant firm yet flexible materials, such as steel and wood, which bend without breaking. Later, people tried to lift a building off its foun dation, and insert rubber and steel between the building and its foundation to reduce the i mpact of ground vibrations. The most recent designs give buildings brains as well as conc rete and steel supports, called smart buildings, the structures respond like living organisms to an earthquake’s vibrations. When the ground shakes and the building tips forward, the computer would force the building to shift in the opposite direction. The new smart struc tures could be very expensive to build. However, they would save many lives and would be less likely to be damaged during earthquakes.56. One reason why the loss of lives in the Los Angeles earthquake was comparatively lo w is that______.A. new computers had been installed in the buildingsB. it occurred in the residential areas rather than on the highwaysC. large numbers of Los Angeles residents had gone for a holidayD. improvements had been made in the construction of buildings and highways57. The function of the computer mentioned in the passage is to ______.A. counter-balance an earthquake’s action on the buildingB. predict the coming of an earthquake with accuracyC. help strengthen the foundation of the buildingD. measure the impact of an earthquake’s vibrations58. The smart buildings discussed in the passage ______.A. would cause serious financial problemsB. would be worthwhile though costlyC. would increase the complexity of architectural designD. can reduce the ground vibrations caused by earthquakes59. It can be inferred from the passage that in minimizing the damage caused by earthqua kes attention should be focused on ______.A. the increasing use of rubber and steel in capital constructionB. the development of flexible building materialsC. the reduction of the impact of ground vibrationsD. early forecasts of earthquakes60. The author’s main purpose in writing the passage is to______.A. compare the consequences of the earthquakes that occurred in the U. S.B. encourage civil engineers to make more extensive use of computersC. outline the history of the development of quake-resistant building materialsD. report new developments in constructing quake-resistant buildingPart III Cloze (20 points)Directions: There are 20 blanks in the following passage. For each blank there are four choices marked A, B, C, and D. You should choose the ONE that best fits into the passa ge and mark the corresponding letter on the ANSWER SHEET.Do the old people in the United States like to live alone?
