Reading Comprehension.(20%)Part ADirections: Read the passage and then choose the correct answer to each of the questions that follow.In schools all over the world boys and girls are learning foreign languages. Everybody knows his own language, but another one is useful, especially when we travel to other countries. If we go to France, we ought to be able to speak French, and in Germany people will expect to understand German.How many languages are there in the world? There are about fifteen hundred but many of them are not very important. English is one of the most important because so many people used it, not only in England and the U.S.A., but in other parts of the world. About 200,000,000 speak it as their own language, and another 200,000,000 use it as a second language. It is difficult to say how many people are learning it. Many million of schoolboys and schoolgirls are trying to do so.English children study French, which is also a very important language. An Englishman can usually find someone in almost all parts of the world who is able to talk to him in either English or French.Which is the best way to learn a language? We should remember that we all learnt our language well when we were children. If we could learn a second language in the same way, it would not seem so difficult. Think of what a small child does. It listens to what people say and it tries to imitate(模仿) what it hears. When it wants something, it also asks for it. It is using the language, talking in it and thinking in it all the time. If people had to use a second language all the time, they would learn it quickly.It is important to remember, also, that we learn our own language by hearingpeople speak it, not by seeing what they write. We imitate what we hear. In school, although you learn to read and write as well as to hear and speak, it is best to learn all new words through the ear. You can read them, spell them, and write them later.1.The title of this passage is .A)L earning a LanguageB)Mother Tongue and Foreign TongueC)English and FrenchD) Children and Grown-ups Learning a Language2.The main idea of paragraph 1 is that .A)children are learning other languages because they are usefulB)if we want to travel we ought to know some foreign languagesC)the most important languages for us to learn are French and GermanD) to understand is more important than to be understood3. Paragraph 2 deals with .A)the number of the people who speak EnglishB)the number of the languages spoken in the worldC)the importance of the English languageD) the importance of one’s native language4. From paragraph 3, we know that .A)the boys and girls in England are also required to learn other foreignlanguagesB)English children usually talk with foreigners only in FrenchC)only men and women in England travel abroadD) you can find English people everywhere in the world5. Paragraph 4 advises us on .A)how to imitate what the child saysB)the best way to learn foreign languagesC)how to listen and imitateD)the best way to imitatePart BDirections: Read the passage carefully and then answer the questions that follow.The LionThe lion is called the king of beasts. Lions are found living wild in the grasslands of Africa. They hunt smaller animals and feed on them. There are no wild lions in Europe, but there are captive(捕获的) lions in European zoos.The male lion is a beautiful animal. Round his head he has a ring of long hair called a mane. When the lion is young, the hair of his mane is yellow. When he is old, the hair is sometimes black. The female lion, or lioness, does not have a mane.Lions are dangerous animals. A lion can kill a man.1.What is the lion called?2.What do lions feed on?3.Are there wild lions in Africa?4.Are the lions in Europe free or captive?5.Do female lions have manes?VI. Rewrite the following sentences according to the requirements in the brackets. (10%)1.The old man has some friends in Hong Kong. (改为否定句)2.I haven’t seen the old woman.She hasn’t seen the old woman, either. (用neither…nor结构合并成简单句)3.“I’ll stay here till next week,” said the American.

He knew exactly what he wanted: a room which was not too small, nor so large that it would be difficult to heat in winter. It had to be clean and comfortable too but, above all, it had to be quiet. In the newspaper he had bought from the bookshop, there were very few advertisements(广告This seemed hopeful, so he made a note of the address and set off in search of the agency. He found it in a narrow street just off the main road. The woman at the desk gave him a bright smile as he entered and, after Peter had explained what sort of room he was looking for, he paid two pounds for a list of about half a dozen landladies who had rooms to let.56. What does the text mainly describe?A. Peter‟s room-hunting experience.B. Peter‟s determination to find a room.C. The difficulties in finding rooms.D. The housing market.57. Peter‟s most important consideration in choosing a room was that it should be ____.A. neat and tidyB. away from noiseC. of the right sizeD. warm in winter58. The underlined wor d “this” in the second paragraph refers to ____.A. a list of rooms to letB. the newspaper Peter boughtC. the notice in the restaurantD. Johnson‟s Housing AgencyBWhen Nancy Lublin received $5,000 from her grandfather in 1996, she never once considered taking a vacation or paying off student loans(贷款). Instead, the 24-year-old New York University law student began thinking about helping low-income women get better jobs. “If a woman goes for a job interview(面试) poorly dressed, she won‟t get the job,” Lublin says. “But without a job, she can‟t afford suitable clothes.”So, with the money Lublin founded “Dress for Success” and began collecting women‟s clothes which were still in good condition but which their owners no longer needed. “So many women have clothes lying around that they will never wear again,” one of Lublin‟s assistants says. “Nancy‟s idea is so simple and yet so important to women.”Many women come to Lublin‟s office before going to a job interview. Here, they receive a suit, shoes and any other things they need. Since it was set up, more than 1,000 women have turned to “Dress for Success” for help. Many of them have won jobs. Som e have found jobs after being out of work for many years. Jenny, a 32-year-old woman who was recently hired as a law-firm office manager says, “I made a good impression(印象) because of …Dress for Success‟.”59. What can we learn from the text?A. Nancy‟s grandfather lent her the money to set up the office.B. Nancy‟s office gathers used clothes from women.C. Low-income women can get jobs at “Dress for Success”.D. Nan cy set up “Dress for Success” to make money.60. “Dress for Success” attracts many women because they ____.A. like to wear different clothesB. like the design of the dressesC. prefer buying clothes at a low priceD. need to look smart when looking for a job61. From what Jenny says, we know that ____.A. she got a lot of good ideas from NancyB. she is working happily at her present jobC. clothes from Nancy‟s office helped to get her a jobD. “Dress for Success” has a good business relation wit h her firm62. What would be a good title for the text?A. Keep Your Old ClothesB. A Helping Hand for WomenC. Nancy: A Successful Law StudentD. A Successful Clothing BusinessCSitting is an art that isn‟t getting passed along. People these days feel as though they have to be doing something. If they are not working, they are jogging, or playing tennis or golf, or taking courses to improve their minds or bodies——or they are parked in front of the TV. Sitting in front of the TV isn‟t sitting——it‟s watching.People used to sit a whole lot. Y ou would walk down the street or drive down the road, and there they would be, out on the doorsteps, sitting. You could go down to the store and sit on the bench out front in the summer or around the fire in the winter. There were sitting benches out in the town square. At the garage, there were straight-backed chairs. There among the oilcans and tires and spare parts, you could kick back and sit.Houses used to have sitting rooms, where the grown-ups would go after Sunday dinner. Mom and Dad, Grandpa and Aunt Ruby would sit and digest (消化) the fried chicken and talk about Aunt Ethel‟s illness, and how well the minister did today. Outside, the children would play, and the afternoon would pass by in a comfortable haze(悠闲的氛围).That sort of thing looks like doing nothing. A recharging battery(正充电的电池) doesn‟t look as if it‟s doing anything either. Sitting restores your soul. If you want to enjoy a truly full life, don‟t just do something——sit there.63. What message does the author try to get through to us?A. People should make better use of their sitting room.B. People should spend less time watching TV.C. People should pass down their good habits.D. People should take things easy for their own good.64. We can learn from the second paragraph that ____.A. people lived a more restful life in the pastB. towns were built to make living convenientC. small town garages had a lot to offerD. people enjoyed going out for a drive65. The sitting room mentioned in the text used to be a place for ____.A. eating foodB. watching TVC. gathering togetherD. playing with children66. From the text we know the writer believes ____.A. sitting has a good spiritual effectB. sitting helps people remember the pastC. a sitting room may have different purposesD. a sitting room is important for the oldDHouston, Texas(June 8, 2002)——In 2004, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration(NASA) will send two robots (机器人) to separate places of Mars to seek out past or present signs of water. It is an exciting idea to send two robots driving over very different places of Mars at the same time, to be able to see what is on the other side of the hill.Last month, NASA announced it was sending one robot to Mars, but after two weeks, it decided there was enough money for two. The robots will be sent up within two weeks of each other in May and June of 2003 from Kennedy Space Center. If all goes well, the two spacecraft(宇宙飞船) will touch down on Mars, after a seven-and-a-half-month space flight, on January 2 and 20, 2004.The robots, each weighing 150 kilograms, can cover 100 meters per day. They are designed to be able to examine the mineralcontent of the soil, and their special camera will take pictures of the lands and hills. Although they will be under control from Earth, the robots are able to move more freely compared to those sent up before them.The actual landing points have not been determined yet, but the scientists say it will be in areas where they hope to find water.67. According to the news report, scientists plan to send robots up to Mars to ____.A. find out whether there is water on MarsB. see if robots can find minerals thereC. test how fast robots can drive thereD. prove that robots can work on Mars68. How long in between will the two robots be sent to Mars?A. 1 year.B. 7.5 months.C. 2 months.D. 2 weeks.69. One of the important jobs for the robots on Mars is to ____.A. study the soilB. walk everywhereC. test the new cameraD. find a suitable landing point70. We can infer from the last sentence that scientists ____.A. have changed the landing points many timesB. hope to land the robots on the surface of waterC. are still working on the planD. know where they can find waterETHE BRONTËFAMILYYorkshire, England was the setting for two great novels(小说) of the 19th century. These were Charlotte Brontë‟s Jane Eyre and Emily Brontë‟s Wuthering Heights. The youngest sister, Anne, was also a gifted novelist, and her books have the same extraordinary quality as her sister‟s.Their father was Patrick Brontë, born in Ireland. He moved with his wife, Maria Brontë, and their six small children to Haworth in Yorkshire in 1820. Soon after, Mrs. Brontë and the two eldest children died, leaving the father to care for the remaining three girls and a boy.Charlotte was born in 1816. Emily was born in 1818 and Anne in 1820. Their brother Branwell was born in 1817. Left to themselves, the children wrote and told stories and walked over the hills. They grew up largely self-educated. Branwell showed a great interest in drawing. The girls were determined to earn money for his art education. They took positions as teachers or taught children in their homes.As children they had all written many stories. Charlotte, as a young girl, alone wrote 22 books, each with 60 to 100 pages of small handwriting. Therefore, they turned to writing for income. By 1847, Charlotte had written The Professor; Emily, Wuthering Heights; and Anne, Agnes Grey. After much difficulty Anne and Emily found a publisher(出版商); but there was no interest shown in Charlotte‟s book. (It was not published until 1859.) However, one publisher expressed an interest in seeing more of her work.Jane Eyre was already started, and she hurriedly finished it. It was accepted at once; thus each of the sisters had a book published in 1847.Jane Eyre was immediately successful; the other two, however, did not do so well. People did not like Wuthering Heights. They said it was too wild, too animal-like. But gradually it came to be considered one of the finest novels in the English language. Emily lived only a short while after the publication of her book, and Anne died in 1849.Charlotte published Shirley in 1849, and Vilette in 1853. In 1854 she married Arthur Bell Nicholls. But only a year later, she died of tuberculosis(肺结核) as her sisters had.71. What did the Brontë sisters want to do for Branwell Brontë?A. Help him write stories.B. Help him get trained in art.C. Teach him how to draw well.D. Teach him how to educate himself.72. We know from the text that ____.A. Jane Eyre was published in 1847B.

(20%)Part ADirections: Read the passage and then choose the correct answer to each of the questions that follows.The gulf war changed the lives of ordinary people, many of whom lived far from Kuwait or Iraq. In this eight-part series correspondents(记者) visit individuals(个人) and families who have had to alter(改变) completely their plans and life styles as a result of the war.We hear, for example, from an Iraqi Kurdish family who escaped across the snow-covered mountains to Turkey, losing everything they had accumulated(积累) over more than 20 years. John Renner visits them in their small tent in the heat and dust of a refugee camp(难民营) where they are desperately hoping that some Western country will offer them shelter(庇护).There is a Palestinian family that lived and worked in Kuwait and cannot return. They have lost friends, family, their living and a way of life. And what about the US serviceman and his family who had heard little about Kuwait before the invasion(入侵)? Do they think it was worthwhile and how easy was it to fit back into their old routine(日常工作) after their experiences of the war?John Renner meets an Asian maid who worked in the Gulf and supported her family at home with her salary. Is she thinking of going back, or has she been put off by the experience of escaping and the horror stories of exploitation in Kuwait?These are just some of the people who are heard in the series which are produced by Lindsey Hilsum.1.This is an introduction to_______.A)a film B)a radio program C)a book D)a TV program2.The program consists of_______ series and a number of interviews with______.A)four…some Kurdish familiesB)four…some individuals who escaped from KuwaitC)eight…U.S. servicemenD)eight…different individuals and families3.John Renner is_______.A)a US serviceman B)a producer C)a correspondent D)a Kuwait worker4.Which of the following statements is NOT true?A)people have to adjust themselves to suit the new routine of their life.B)People who have experienced the War have difficulty in returning to their oldstyle of life.C)The war has cast a big shadow over people’s hearts.D)The war has only some physical effect on the people involved.5.Which is the best suggested title?A) A Just War B) After the War Was overC)A War, Doubted but Rewarding D) A War, Worthless and MeaninglessPart BDirections: Read the passage carefully and then answer the questions that follow.Human beings act in a different way from that of animals just because they can speak while animals cannot. Even the cleverest animals cannot do things which to us seem very simple and which small children, as soon as they learn to talk, would be able to do.A German scientist, who made experiments for many years with big apes(猿), found that his apes could use sticks as tools to p ull down bananas which they couldn’t reach. But they only used the stick to get a banana when both the stick and the banana were in view at the same time. If the banana was in front of them and the stick was behind them, they could not use the stick. They couldn’t bear the banana in mind long enough to look around and pick up the stick and then use it.The reason for this is clear. We have words for banana and stick which help us to think about these things when they are not in sight. Even a small child knowing the words “banana” and “stick” has an idea of their relationship(关系) and is able to think of “stick” together with “banana” and to remember this long enough to pick the stick from behind and use it on the banana.Unable to speak, animals cannot keep their knowledge of things for long. That is why they often interrupt(打断) one line of action to do something else and latter forget it completely. Human beings, on the other hand, use language and are able to go after one thing continuously and do it with a definite(确定的) aim.1.Clever animals can do all the things that small children can do, can’t they?2.Do human beings and animals act in the same way?3.The apes always knew how to get the banana when they saw either the banana orthe stick. Is that true?4.Who did the experiments to find out that some animals could use tools to getfood?5.What is the difference between human beings and animals in doing things asmentioned in the last paragraph?VI. Rewrite the following sentences according to the requirements in the brackets. (10%)1.Our teacher has his breakfast at school every day. (改为否定句)2. Tom never tells a lie. (改为反意疑问句)3. They are working hard . (改为感叹句)4. Father said, “Kate, don’t make any noise.”(改为间接引语)5. He will never forget the day. On the day his parents sent him to school. (用定语从句合并句子)Ⅶ. Translate the following sentences into Chinese (15%).1.A good medicine tastes bitter.2.In the past, long-distance calls were too expensive and difficult to make.3.We’ better try to get them relaxed.4. We have to speak English both in and out of class.5. The order is just opposite to the Chinese one.Ⅷ.Translate the following sentences into English (15%) 1.他常步行上学。

The other teams, disappointed, were on the bus heading home. And then Westborough instructor Greg Rota noticed something wrong on one of the score cards. A 9 had been recorded as a 7. They were not the state prize winner; Woburn High had won. "No one would have known," said Woburn’s instructor, Bob Doran. For Rota, it wasn’t a difficult decision: "The prize wasn’t ours to take."Coin Stars"College students are lazy, but they also want to help," says University of Pennsylvania graduate Dana Hork. So she made it easy, placing cups in rooms where students could leave their spare coins, and handing out cups to first-year students to keep in their rooms. Her " Change for Change" effort has collected $40,000 for charities (慈善机构), which were decided upon by students.Never ForgottenA school in Massachusetts received a $ 9.5 million check from Jacques LeBermuth.

But forgiveness is possible - and it can be surprisingly helpful to your physical and mental health. Indeed, research has shown that people who forgive report more energy, better appetite (胃口) and better sleep patterns. "People who forgive show less anger and more hopefulness," says Dr. Frederic Luskin, who wrote the book Forgive for Good. " So it can help save on the wear and tear on .our system and allow people to feel more energetic." So when someone has hurt you, calm yourself first. Take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, someone you love. Don’t wait for an apology. "Many times the person who hurt you may never think of apologizing," says Dr. Luskin. "They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don’t see things the same way. So if you wait for people to apologize, you could be waiting a very long time. " Keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean accepting the action of the person who upset you. Mentally going over your hurt gives power to the person who brought you pain. Instead, learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness around you. Finally, try to see things from the other person’s perspective (视角). You may realize that he or she was acting out of ignorance (无知), fear——even love. To gain perspective, you may want to write a letter to yourself from that person’s point of view.65、The text is mainly written to explain ____.A. how to keep yourself from being hurtB. how to stay mentally healthyC. how and when to remain calmD. why and how to pardon others66、According to the writer, what is the right way to calm down after being hurt?A. Try to figure out why you get hurt.B. Write a letter to the person who hurt you.C. Persuade yourself to accept what others have done to you.D. Think about pleasant things and forget about the hurt.67、Dr. Luskin advises us not to wait for an apology after being hurt because _____.A. we are not patient enoughB. we’d feel worse accepting others’apologyC. people seldom want to apologizeD. people don’t mean it when they apologizeDBefore a new type of airplane goes into service, every part of it is tested again and again. But there are two tests that are more important than all the others. The first is called the " tank test". A modem airplane must fly very high in the sky. Air must be pumped into the plane so that the passengers can breathe. The metal structure (结构)of the plane has to be very strong for this reason. When the plane is filled with air, the air presses against the skin of the plane inside. The pressure (压力) on a small window is like a huge foot that is trying to get out. If a small part of the plane were to fail, the plane would explode in the sky. To test the structure of the plane, the plane is lowered into a huge tank or container of water. Then it is filled with air. The pressure inside the plane is greater than it ever will be when it is high up in the air. Finally, there is an explosion. This does not cause so much damage inside the water tank as it would anywhere else. Engineers can discover which part of the plane has broken. Then that part is made stronger.The most dangerous test happens when the new plane is going through test flights in the air. The test pilot must find out exactly what happens when the engines (发动机) are all shut off at once. The plane begins to fall like a stone. It is the pilot’s job to find out how he can get control of the plane again. These two tests are examples of how planes are made safe before they ever carry passengers.68、By doing the "tank test", the engineers can find out ____.A. the amount of air in the planeB. the strength of the plane structureC. the. pressure inside and outside the planeD. the power of the airplane engines69、What will happen to the plane under the "tank test"?A. It will be broken.B. It will be made stronger.C. It will be filled with water.D. It will be tested by pilots70、According to the text, why are test flights most dangerous?A. The plane may explode in the air.B. The pilot may lose control of the plane.C. The engines may be damaged.D. Too much air may get into the plane.71、What might be the most suitable title for the text?A. Two Important Tests on AirplanesB. The Importance of Flying SafelyC. The Danger of Testing AirplanesD. How Airplanes Are Made and TestedEIf you are a recent social science graduate who has had to listen to jokes about unemployment from your computer major classmates, you may have had the last laugh. There are many advantages for the social science major because this high-tech "Information Age" demands people who are flexible (灵活的) and who have good communication skills.There are many social science majors in large companies who fill important positions. For example, a number of research studies found that social science majors had achieved greater managerial success than those who had technical training or pre-professional courses. Studies show that social science majors are most suited for change, which is the leading feature (特点) of the kind of high speed, high-pressure, high-tech world we now live in.Social science majors are not only experiencing success in their long-term company jobs, but they are also finding jobs more easily. A study showed that many companies had filled a large percentage of their entry-level positions with social science graduates. The study also showed that the most sought-after quality in a person who was looking for a job was communication skills, noted as "very important" by 92 percent of the companies. Social science majors have these skills, often without knowing how important they are. It is probably due to these skills that they have been offered a wide variety of positions.Finally, although some social science majors may still find it more difficult than their technically trained classmates to land the first job, recent graduates report that they don’t regret their choice of study.72、By saying that "you may have had the last laugh" in the first paragraph, the author means that you may have ____A. shared the jokes with computer majorsB. earned as much ascomputer majorsC. found jobs more easily than computer majorsD. stopped joking about computer majors73、Compared with graduates of other subjects, social science graduates _____A. are ready to change when situations changeB. are better able to deal with difficultiesC. are equally good at computer skillsD. are likely to give others pressure74、The underlined word "land" in the last paragraph probably means ____A. keep for some timeB. successfully getC. immediately startD. lose regretfully75、According to the text, what has made it easy for social science graduates to find jobs?A.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C, and D. you should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.IGreek mythology is largely made up of stories about gods and goddesses, but it must not be read as a kind of Greek Bible, an account of the Greek religion.According to the most modern idea, a real myth has nothing to do with religion. It is an explanation of something in nature; how, for instance, any and everything in the universe came into existence: men, animals, this or that tree or flower, the sun, the moon, the stars, storms, eruption, earthquakes, all that is and all that happens. Thunder and lightning are caused when Zeus hurls his thunderbolt. A volcano erupts because a terrible creature is imprisoned in the mountain and every now and then struggles to get free. The Dipper, the constellation called also the Great Bear, does not set below the horizon because a goddess once was angry at it and decreed that it should never sink into the sea. Myths are early science, the result of men?s first trying to explain what they saw around them.But there are many so-called myths which explain nothing at all. These tales are pure entertainment, the sort of thing people would tell each other on a long winter?s evening. The story of Pygmalion and Galatea is an example; it has no conceivable connection with any event in nature. Neither has the Quest of the Golden Fleece, nor Orpheus and Eurydice, nor many another. This fact is now generally accepted; and we do not have to try to find in every mythological heroine the moon or the dawn and in everyhero?s life a sun myth. The stories are early literature as well as e arly science. But religion is there, too. In the background, to be sure, but nevertheless plain to see. From Homer through the tragedians and even later, there is a deepening realization of what human beings need and what they must have in their gods.11. The author believes that myths _____.A.have nothing to do with religionB.contain very modern ideas.C.are pure entertainment with no religious contentD.have to do with science, religion and entertainment12. In every myth, ____.A.there is a connection with some natural eventB.there is not necessarily an attempt to explain an event in natureC.there are angry gods and goddessesD.there exists some religious teaching13. According to the passage, the story of Pymalion and Galatea ______.A.has something to do with the explanation of natureB.is pure entertainmentC.has something to do with scienceD.is closely related to religion14. Myths are early science because they_______.A.explain the natural eventsB.teach about the historyC.have nothing to do with religionD.reflect people?s expectations15. The author, in regard to modern ideas on myth_____.A.is impressed and agrees with themB.refuses to accept any of themC.adds to them new points of viewD.none of the aboveIIResearchers have established that when people are mentally engaged, biochemical changes occur in the brain that allow it to act more effectively in cognitive areas such as attention and memory. This is true regardless of age.People will be alert and receptive if they are faced with information that gets them to think about things they are interested in. And someone with a history of doing more rather than less will go into old age more cognitively sound than someone who has nothad an active mind.Many experts are so convinced of the benefits of challenging the brain that they are putting the theory to work in their own lives. “The idea is not necessarily to learn to memorize enormous amounts of information,” says James Fozard, associate director of the National Institute on Aging. “Most of us don?t need that kind of skill. Such specific training is of less interest than being able to maintain mental alertness.” Fzard and others say they challenge their brains with different mental skills, both because they enjoy them and because they are sure that their range of activities will help the way their brains work.Gene Cohen, acting director of the same institute, suggests that people in their old age should engage in mentally and physical activities individually as well as in groups. Cohen says that we are frequently advised to keep physically active as we age, but older people need to keep mentally active as well. Those who do are more likely to maintain their intellectual abilities and to be generally happier and better adjusted. “The point is, you needto do both,” Cohen says, “Intellectual activity actually influences brain-cell health and size.”16. People who are cognitively healthy are those_____.A.who can remember large amounts of informationB.who are highly intelligentC.whose minds are alert and receptiveD.who are good at recognizing different sounds17. According to Fozard?s argument, people can make theirb rains work moreefficiently by_____.A.constantly doing memory workB.taking part in various mental activitiesC.going through specific trainingD.making frequent adjustments18. The findings of James and other scientists in their work_____.A.remain a theory to be further provedB.have been challenged by many other expertsC.have been generally acceptedD.are practiced by the researchers themselves19. Older people are generally advised to_____.A.keep fit by going in for physical activitiesB.keep mentally active by challenging their brainsC.maintain mental alertness through specific trainingD.maintain a balance between individual and group activities20. This passage is mainly about_____.A.how biochemical changes occur in the human brainB.why people should keep active not only physically but also mentallyC.how intellectual activities influence brain-cell healthD.why people should receive special mental training as they ageIIIEducation achievement is a vital measure of any society?s level of development. In modern times, universal literacy for all social groups has become the goal of all nations, and education has been recognized as a right of both women and men. Apart from the absolute benefits that education brings to women, women?s education benefits society. Studies has shown that women?s education is closely related to children?s health outcomes (结果)and other social development indicators. Education and training increase women?s opportunities in the modern economic sector by better qualifying them for well-paid employment. Education also expands women?s life choices beyond marriage and child-raising.Arab countries have made great advances in improving literacy rate in the past two decades for both men and women. However, women still remain behind men. In most countries the urban-rural contrast in female literacy is still great, creating an increasing gap of development opportunities for women within the same country.Overall, the difference between male and female literacy rates is greater inlower-income countries, which suggests that when resources are scarce male educationtakes precedence(领先) over female education. The lower social value of girls? education causes high dropout rates among those who come from poor families. Girls may also be removed from school to care for the younger or to be married at a young age. But a problem facing women and men alike is that thecontent of education is often unrelated to the needs of the labor market---so much so that some rural families prefer not to send their children to school, where they will lose useful agricultural skills and emerge with unmarketable knowledge.21. According to the passage, the education of women is important because_____.A.it represents the development of the societyB.it will benefit the societyC.women can enjoy their legal rightD.it shows women and men are equal22. With the information given in the passage, the following statements are true EXCEPT_______.A.women will be qualified for well-paid jobsB.the economic position will be changedC.women will be too busy to get married and give birth to a childD.the scope of life for women will be expended with better education23. Difference in education between male and female exits because of_____.A. ageB. raceC. regionD. wealth24. Some families in the countryside are reluctant to send their children to schoolbecause_____.A.they cannot afford the children?s schoolingB.girl?s education is regarded as of less importantC.the school education cannot meet the requirement of thesocietyD.they thought it was enough to stay at home with their present agricultural skill25. In the first paragraph, education achievement refers to_____.A.women?s educationB.the education of both men and womenC.the education of children in the countrysideD.the education of women in poor countriesIVWhat is exactly a lie? Is it anything we say which we know is untrue? Or is it something more than that? For example, suppose a friend wants to borrow some money from you, you say: “I wish I could help you but I?m short of money myself.? In fact, you are not short of money, but your friend is in the habit of not paying his debts and you don?t want to hurt his feelings by reminding him of this. Is this really a lie?A scientific study of lying shows women are better liars than men, particularly when telling a …white lie? such as when a woman at a party tells another woman that she likes her dress when she really thinks it looks terrible.However, this is only one side of the story. Other researches show that men are more likely to tell more serious lies, such as making a promise which they have no intention of fulfilling. This is the kind of lie politicians and businessmen are supposed to be particularly skilled at: the lie from which the liar hopes to profit or gain in some way.Research has also been done into the w ay people?s behavior changes in a number of small, apparently unimportant ways when they lie. It has been found that if they are sitting down at the same time, they tend to move about in their chairs more thanusual. To the trained observer they are saying …I wish I were somewhere else now.?26. This passage tells us that_____.A.telling lies is often necessary in order to avoid being defeatedB.telling lies is often bad because people ought not to be dishonestC.telling lies is sometimes n ecessary in order not to hurt someone else?s feelingsD.telling lies is not bad at all in most cases27. In paragraph 2, the sentence “…women are better liars than men.” Probably means “_____”.A.Women are better at telling lies than menB.Women liars are better accepted than menC.Women have a better intention when telling liesD.Women tell fewer lies than men do28. A …white lie? means_____.A. a lie that is completely unbelievableB. a lie that is told with a good willC. a lie that is always believableD. a lie that often has an evil purpose29. Politicians and businessmen are supposed to be skilled at telling the kind oflies _____.A.from which they may gain some advantagesB.that seems to be believableC.that women are most likely to believeD.with which they can have better relationship with others30. It can be concluded from the passage that_____.A.there is a simple way of finding out if someone is lyingB.from some ways people behave we can know they are lyingC.certain emotions are proof of lyingD.in some situations women are most likely to think businessmen are dishonest Part III Vocabulary and Structure (35 points)Directions: there are thirty-five incomplete sentences in this part. For each sentence there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one answer that best completes the sentence. Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with as single line through the center.31. The engine____ smoke and steam.A. gives upB. gives inC. gives awayD. gives off32.

Reading Comprehension (30 points, 2 points for each item)从下列每篇短文的问题后所给的四个选择项中选出一个最佳答案，并在答题卡上将相应的字母涂黑．Passage OneQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.In reading the world’s great literature on human excellence and personal success, I’ve found that to launch ourselves into a life of true success we need to satisfy one basic condition: pursue our vision with stubborn (顽强的) consistency. The biggest difference between people who succeed and those who don’t is not usually talent but persistence.On my way to work one morning, I met Rudy Ruettiger, who is now a motivational speaker. He has grown up in Joliet, listening to stories about Notre Dame and dreaming of one day playing football there. Friends told him he wasn’t a good enough student to be admitted. So he gave up his dream and went to wor k in a power plant.Then a friend was killed in an accident at work. Shocked, Rudy suddenly realized that life is too short not to pursue your dreams.In 1972, at the age of 23, he enrolled at Holy Cross Junior College in South Bend, Ind. He got goodenough grades to transfer to Notre Dame, where he finally made the football team as a member of the “scout team”, the players who help the team prepare for games.Rudy was living his dream, almost. But he wasn’t allowed to suit up for the games themselves. T he next year, after Rudy requested it, the coach told Rudy he could put on his uniform for the season’s final game. And there he sat, on the Notre Dame bench during the game. A student started shouting, “We want Rudy!” Soon others joined in. Finally, at th e age of 27, with 27 seconds left to play, Rudy Ruettiger was sent onto the field-and made the final tackle (阻截). So his team won the game.When I met Rudy 17 year later, it was in the parking lot outside Notre Dame stadium (体育场), where a camera crew was filming scenes for Rudy, a motion picture about his life. His story illustrates that there is no limit to where your dreams can take you.21. The writer believes that the key to achieving success is .A. developing one’s talentB. seizing opportunitiesC. having wide visionD. sticking to one’s goal22. According to the passage, Rudy once gave up his dream of playing football for Notre Dame because .A. his friend was killed thereB. his foot was injured in an accidentC. he lacked confidence in himselfD. he failed in the entrance examination23. Rudy quit his job in the power plant because .A. his friend encouraged him toB. his outlook on life changedC. he was disappointed in his futureD. he was shocked by his friend’s death24. Rudy was transferred to Notre Dame .A. as a good studentB. as a good playerC. with the help of a coachD. with the help of a friend25. A camera crew was making a movie about Rudy’s life because .A. Rudy was the oldest player at Notre DameB. Rudy succeeded in realizing his dreamC. Rudy was the best speaker at Notre DameD. Rudy succeeded in developing his abilityPassage TwoQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.NASA, the U.S. space agency, believes there’s a good chance that we’re not alone in the universe. Last fall, NASA began a new project called the High Resolution Microwave Survey (HRMS). Its aim: to find evidence of life in one of the billions of galaxies in the universe.The search for intelligent life on other planets i sn’t new. It began almost 100 years ago. That’s when scientists built a huge transmitter to send radio waves into space. Scientists thought smart beings on other planets might pick up the signals.Scientists also have sent a message about humans and our solar system to a nearby constellation (星座). But because the constellation is 25,000 light years away, a return message wouldn’t reach Earth for 50,000 years! So don’t wait up for an answer.So far, no extraterrestrial (地球外的) beings that we know of have re turned our “calls.” But according to Dr. Jill Tarter, an HRMS scientist, we haven’t exactly had our ears wide open. “Now, however,” says Dr. Tarter, “we’ve built the tools we need to listen well.”Last October, Dr. Tarter switched on the largest radio rec eiver in the world. It’s an enormous metal bowl stretching 1,000 feet across a valley in Puerto Rico.Meanwhile, another NASA scientist turned on a huge radio receiver in California’s Mojave Desert. NASA hopes these big dishes-and others around the world-will pick up radio signals from new world.Dr. Frank Drake has been searching for life in outer space for years. He explains the HRMS project this way: To listen to your radio, you move the tuner on the dial until the channels come in loud and clear: Now imagine radio receivers that scan our galaxy “listening” to 14 million channels every second. That’s what NASA’s radio receivers in Puerto Rico and California are doing.But that’s not all. Powerful computers hooked to the receivers examine every signal c arefully. The computers try to match the signals to ones that scientists already recognize, such as human-made signals. If they can’t, Drake and Tarter check on them. “It could prove there is radio technology elsewhere in the universe,” says Dr. Tarter. “And that would mean we’re not alone.” 26、NASA scientists started a new project in order to _______.A、discover life in other galaxiesB、send human beings into spaceC、find evidence of a new galaxyD、confirm the number of galaxies27、According to Dr.Jill Tarter ,the reason why we haven’t received any return any return messages from outer space is that_______.A、our ears are not sharp enough to hear themB、our equipment hasn’t been good enoughC、it takes millions of yuars for them to reach usD、it takes quite a long time to send them28、Dr.Jill Tarter compares the large receiver to _______.A、the human earB、the universeC、a metal bowlD、a huge dish29、According to Dr.Frank Drake ,NASA’s radio receivers in Puerto Rico and California a re _______.A、trying to check on every channel carefullyB、moving the tuner on the dial for clear channelsC、scanning the universe for possible signalsD、picking up radio signals from new world30、The best title of this passage is ________.A、Signals from the SpaceB、The Invention of New Radio ReceiversC、The Intelligent Life in Outer SpaceD、NASA Listens for Space NeighborsPassage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.Even a careful motorist(开汽车的人) may commit a motoring offence (违法).In this case, he will appear in a police court .This is a court ruled by a judge without a jury (陪审团).A judge has powers to pass sentence for relatively minor offences only ;serious charges are dealt with by a judge and a jury.In certain cases, a motoring offender may choose to go before a judge and a jury ,instead of appearing before just a judge .A court is also used for the conduct of preliminary investigations to dedermine whether or not a motoring offender shall appear for trial in a higher court.When his case comes up in court ,the motorist hears his name called by the clerk of the court, and comes forward to identify himself.The judge then calls for the policeman who charged the offender and asks him to give evidence.He is expected to ive an account of what happened when the offence was committed and to mention any special circumstances.For example the offence may have been partly due to the foolishness of another motorist.It would be unwise for the motoring offender to exaggerate this.It will not help his case to try to blame someone else for his own mistake.If you are guilty ,it is of course wise to admit it and say you’re sorry for committing the offence and taking up the court’s time .Judges are not heartless and a mo torist may be lucky enough to hear one say：“You’ve got good reasons ,but you have broken the law and I’ll have to impose a fine .Pay five pounds.Next case.”Some short-tempered people forget that both policemen and judges have a public duty to perform,and aren rude to them. This does not pay! A judge will not let off an offender merely because he is respectful,but a polite law-breaker may certainly hope that the judge will extend him what tolerance the law permits.31、Even a careful motorist may be asked to go to a police court for______.A、an injuryB、a motoring offenceC、refusing to pay a fineD、being rude to the policeman32、The underlined word “one ”(paragraph 5) refers to _____.A、a jury memberB、a police officerC、a motoristD、a judge33、A motoring offender is usually charged by ______.A、a judgeB、a juryC、a policemanD 、another motorist34、It is foolish for a motoring offender to _______.A 、overstate another motorist’s mistakeB 、mention someone else’s foolishnessC 、argue that he is not guiltyD 、choose to go before a jury35、If a man knows that he is guilty, he should ______.A、be polite to the policeman and the judgeB、try his best to appear before just a judgeC 、save the court’s time and pay the fineD 、admit the wrong and say sorry to the court第二部分非选择题（共50分）Ⅳ.Word Spelling(10 points,1point for two items)36. 乐意地，容易地ad. r_______37.日常工作，常规n. r______38.多数，大半n. m_______39. 永恒的，不断的a. c______40. 偏袒的，部分的a. p_______41. 漆工，画家n. p______42. 跳跃，飞跃v. l______43.易管理的a. m_______44.缩短，减少vi.

2004年11月成人三级真题各位读友大家好，此文档由网络收集而来，欢迎您下载，谢谢2004年11月北京地区普通高等学校成人教育本科生英语统一考试试题（A）Part I Reading Comprehension （30%）Directions：There are three 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. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through center.Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage：In the United States, 30 percent of theadult population has a “weight problem”. To many people, the cause is obvious：they eat too much. But scientific evidence does little to support this idea. Going back to the America of the 1910s, we find that people were thinner than today, yet they ate more food. In those days people worked harder physically, walked more, used machines much less and didn’t watch television. Several modern studies, moreover, have shown that fatter people do not eat more on the average than thinner people. In fact, some investigations, such as the 1979 study of 3,545 London office workers, report that, on balance, fat people eat less than slimmer people.Studies show that slim people are more active than fat people. A study by a research group at Stanford University School of Medicine found the following interesting facts：The more the men ran, the more bodyfat they lost.The more they ran, the greater amount of food they ate.（76）Thus, those who ran the most ate the most, yet lost the greatest amount of body fat.1.各位读友大家好，此文档由网络收集而来，欢迎您下载，谢谢。
