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.There is no doubt that adults, and even highly educated adults, vary greatly in the speed and efficiency of their reading. Some proceed very slowly throughout; others dash along too quickly and then have to regress. Poor readers in particular may lack the ability to vary their manner of reading according to the type of reading matter and to their intentions in reading it. A good reader can move at great speed through the text of a novel or similar light reading matter. He may be able to skim a page, picking up a word or two here and there, and gain a general idea of what the text is about without really reading it. In reading more difficult material, with the intention of taking in the whole of it, he will proceed more slowly, but even then he will vary his pace, concentrating on the key words and passages, perhaps re-reading them several times and pass more quickly over the remainder. A less efficient reader tends to maintain the same speed whatever the material he reads. Consequently, even light reading matter gives him little pleasure because he reads so slowly. But this pace may be too fast for really difficult material which requires special concentration at difficult points.A type of reading which necessitates careful attention to detail is proofreading, in which the reader, in order to detect misprints in a sample print, has to notice not so much the meaning of what he reads as the exact shape and order of letters and words in the text. This is extremely difficult for most people, since they are accustomed to overlooking such details. In fact, considerable practice is required to practice this task efficiently and it can be done only by reading very slowly, and by paying comparatively little attention to the general meaning of the text.第1题The author claims that there is a difference in reading speed______.A.among readers who have different experienceB.among all the readersC.between the poorly educated and the highly educatedD.among the highly educated people第2题A good reader is a reader who______.A.concentrates on the wonderful part of the articleB.always reads slowly and carefullyC.changes his speed according to the kind of textD.changes his speed according to the interesting of the text第3题The author says that when reading a novel, a good reader can quickly read______.A.every part of the bookB.the most wonderful part in the bookC.the major part in the bookD.the scientific part of the book第4题The last two sentences of the first paragraph mean that______.A.a reading speed too slow for a difficult book is just right for a non-serious oneB.a reading speed too slow for a non-serious book may be too fast for a difficult oneC.A reading speed too fast for difficult material is just right for a non-serious book is also too slow for a difficult oneD.A reading speed too slow for a non-serious book is also too slow for a difficult one第5题Which of the following can be the tide of the passage?A.Reading and listening.B.Difference between highly educated and poorly educated.C.Practice reading skill.D.Difference in the speed and efficiency of reading.下一题(6~10/共20题)Reading ComprehensionDirections: 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 the center.Television has opened windows in everybody´s life. Young men will never again go to war as they did in 1914. Millions of people now have seen the effects of a battle. And the result has been a general dislike of war, and perhaps more interest in helping those who suffer from allthe terrible things that have been shown on the screen.Television has also changed politics. The most distant areas can now follow state affairs, see and hear the politicians before an election. Better informed, people are more likely to vote, and so to make their opinion count.Unfortunately, television´s influence has been extremely harmful to the young. Children do not have enough experience to realize that TV shows present an unreal world; that TV advertisements lie to sell products that are sometimes bad or useless. They believe that the violence they see is normal and acceptable. All educators agree that the "television generations" are more violent than their parents and grandparents.Also, the young are less patient. Used to TV shows, where everything is quick and interesting, they do not have the patience to read an article without pictures; to read a book that requires thinking; to listen to a teacher who doesn´t do funny things like the people on children´s programs.And they expect all problems to be solved happily in ten, fifteen, or thirty minutes. That´s the time it takes on the screen.第6题In the past, many young people______.A.knew the effects of warB.went in for politicsC.liked to save the wounded in warsD.were willing to be soldiers第7题Now with TV people can______.A.discuss politics at an information centerB.show more interest in politicsC.make their own decisions on political affairsD.express their opinions freely第8题The author thinks that TV advertisements______.A.are not reliable on the wholeB.are useless to peopleC.are a good guide to adultsD.are very harmful to the young第9题Which is NOT true according to the passage?A.People have become used to crimes now.B.On a TV screen some problems can be solved quickly.C.People now like to read books with pictures.D.The adults are less violent than the young.第10题From the passage, we can conclude that______.A.children should keep away from TV programs should be improvedC.children´s books should have pictures has a deep influence on the young上一题下一题(11~15/共20题)Reading ComprehensionDirections: 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 the center.Looking back on my childhood, I am convinced that naturalists are born and not made. Although we were brought up in the same way, my brothers and sisters soon abandoned their pressed flowers and insects. Unlike them, I had no ear for music and languages, I was not an early reader and I could not do mental arithmetic.Before World War I we spent our summer holidays in Hungary. I have only the dim memory of the house we lived in, of my room and my toys. Nor do I recall clearly the large family of grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins who gathered next door. But I do have a crystal-clear memory of dogs, the farm animals, the local birds and above all, the insects.I am a naturalist, not a scientist. I have a strong love of the natural world, and my enthusiasm has led me into varied investigations. I love discussing my favorite topics and enjoy burning the midnight oil, reading about other people´s observations and discoveries. Then something happens that brings these observations together in my conscious mind. Suddenly you fancy you see the answer to the riddle, because it all seems to fit together. This has resulted in my publishing 300 papers and books, which some might honor with the title of scientific research.But curiosity, a keen eye, a good memory and enjoyment of the animal and plant world do notmake a scientist; one of the outstanding and essential qualities required is self-discipline, a quality I lack. A scientist can be made. A naturalist is born. If you can combine the two, you get the best of born worlds.第11题According to the author, a born naturalist should first of all be______.A.full of enthusiasmB.self-disciplinedC.full of ambitionD.knowledgeable第12题The first paragraph tells us that the author______.A.lost his hearing when he was a childB.didn´t like his brothers and sistersC.was born to a naturalist´s familyD.was interested in flowers and inserts in his childhood第13题The author says that he is a naturalist rather than a scientist probably because he thinks he______.A.just reads about other people´s observations and discoverieses up with solutions in most natural waysC.has a great deal of trouble doing mental arithmeticcks some of the qualities required of scientist第14题The author can´t remember his relatives clearly because______.A.he was fully occupied with observing natureB.he didn´t live very long with themC.the family was extremely largeD.he was too young when he lived with them第15题Which of the following statement is true?A.The author believes that a born naturalist cannot be a scientist.B.The author´s brothers and sisters were good at music and languages.C.The author read a lot of books about the natural world and the oil industry.D.The author spent a lot of time working on riddles.上一题下一题(16~20/共20题)Reading ComprehensionDirections: 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 the center.As the Titanic was sinking and women and children climbed into lifeboats, the musicians from the ship´s band stood and played. They died when the ship went down. Men stood on the deck and smoked cigarettes. They died, too. This behavior is puzzling to economists, who like to believe that people tend to act in their own self-interest. "There was no pushing," says DavidSavage, an economist at Queensland University in Australia who has studied witness reports from the survivors. It was "very, very orderly behavior.´´Savage has compared the behavior of the passengers on the Titanic with those on the Lusitania, another ship that also sank at about the same time. But when the Lusitania went down, the passengers panicked. There were a lot of similarities between these two events. These two ships were both luxury ones, they had a similar number of passengers and a similar number of survivors.The biggest difference, Savage concludes, was time. The Lusitania sank in less than 20 minutes. But for the Titanic, it was two-and-a-half hours. "If you´ve got an event that lasts two-and-a-half hours, social order will take over and everybody will behave in a social manner,"Savage says. "If you´re going down in under 17 minutes, basically it´s instinctual." On the Titanic, social order ruled, and it was women and children first. On the Lusitania, instinct won out. The survivors were largely the people who could swim and get into the lifeboats.Yes, we´re self-interested, Savage says. But we´re also part of a society. Given time, social norms can beat our natural self-interest. A hundred years ago, women and children always went first. Men were stoic. On the Titanic, there was enough time for these norms to become forceful. 第16题According to the author, economists were confused because______.A.people´s behavior was disorderly on the TitanicB.people did not act in their own interest on the TitanicC.most men did not act in their own interest on the LusitaniaD.women and children could not climb into the lifeboats第17题The expression "won out" in the third paragraph is closest in meaning to "______".A.took the upper handB.went out of controlC.ran wildD.shut down第18题According to David Savage, ______was a critical factor in determining people´s behavior in the sinking of these two ships.A.social orderB.placeC.instinctD.time第19题According to the passage, which of the following is NOT TRUE?A.Both ships were expensive ones.B.A similar number of women and children from both ships survived.C.About the same number of people from each ship died.D.Both ships had a similar number of passengers.第20题Which of the following is an appropriate title for this passage?A.Why Didn´t Musicians Play on the Lusitania?B.Why Did Musicians Play on the Titanic?C.Why Didn´t Passengers Panic on the Titanic?D.Why Did Men Smoke on the Titanic?上一题下一题(1/29)Vocabulary and StructureDirections: In this part there are 30 incomplete sentences.

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For eachof 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. Passage 1 A little girl was given so many picture books on her seventh birthday that her father thought his daughter should give one or two of her new books to a little neighbor boy named Robert. Now, taking books, or anything else, from a little girl is like taking candy from a baby, but the father of the little girl had his way and Robert got two of her books. “After all, that leaves you with nine,” said the father, who thought he was a philosopher and a child psychologist and couldn’t shut hi s big stupid mouth on the subject. A few weeks later, the fatherwent to his library to look up “father” in the Oxford English Dictionary to feast his eyes on the praise of fatherhood through the centuries, but he couldn’t find volume F-G and then he discovered that three others were missing, too. A-B, L-M, V-Z. He began to search his household and learned what had happened to the four missing volumes. “A man came to the door this morning,” said his little daughter, “and he didn’t know how to get from here to Torrington, or from Torrington to Winsted, and he was a nice man, much nicer than Robert, and so I gave him four of your books. After all, there are thirteen volumes in the Oxford English Dictionary, and that leavesyou with nine.” 21. How does the writ er feel about taking picture books from a little girl? A. This sort of thing is quite common. B. It makes no difference to a child. C. It’s nothing to be surprised at . D. It may hurt the girl’s feelings. 22. In the second paragraph “the father…had his way” means ________. A. the father went out to work B. the father made his own decision C. the father left his daughter alone D. the father did what he wanted 23. Which of the following sentences may best reflect the girl’s attitude toward her father? A. “A man came to the door this morning.”B. “He was a nice man, much nicer than Robert.”C. “After all, that leaves you with nine.”D. “I gave him four of your books.” 24. What does the writer think of the father? A. He was very strict with his daughter. B. He was too proud to listen to his daughter. C. As a child psychologist, he didn’t understand his daughter’s psychology very well. D. As a father, he showed little care for his daughter. 25. This short story tells us that ________. A. failure is the mother of success B. what you do not wish done to yourself, do not do to others C. we should put others first and ourselves last D. everything is hard in the beginning Passage 2 What 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 h abit 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 way people’s behavior changes in a numb er 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 than usual. To the trained observer they are saying I wish I were somewhere else now. 26. This passage tells us that ________. A. telling liesis often necessary in order to avoid being defeated B. telling lies is often bad because people ought not to be dishonest C. telling lies is sometimes necessary in order not to hurt someone else’s feelings D. telling lies is not bad at all in most cases 27. In Paragraph 2, the sentence “Women are better liars than men do.” probably means ________. A. women are better at telling lies than men B. women liars are better accepted than men C. women have a better intention when telling lies D. women tell fewer lies than men do 28. A “white lie” means ________. A. a lie that is completely unbelievable B. a lie that is told with a good will C. a lie that is always believable D. a lie that often has an evil purpose 29. Politicians and businessmen are supposed to be skilled at telling the kind of lies ________. A. from which they may gain some advantages B. that seems to be believable C. that women are most likely to believe D. with which they can have better relationship with others 30. It can be concluded from the passage that ________. A. there is a simple way of finding out if someone is lying B. from some ways people behave we can know they are lying C. certain emotions are proof of lying D. in some situations women are most likely to think businessmen are dishonest Passage 3 Life really should be one long journey of joy for children born with a world of wealth at their feet. Internationally famous child doctor Robert Cole s is the world’s top expert on the influence of money on children. He has written a well-known book on the subject, “The Privileged Ones”, and his research shows that too much money in the family can cause as many problems as too little. “Obviously there are certain advantages to being rich,” says the 33-year-old doctor, “such as better health, education and future work prospects. But the most important is the quality of family life. Money can’t buy love.” It can buy a lot of other things, however, and that’s where the trouble starts. Rich kids have so much to choose from that they often become confused. Over-indulgence by their parents can make them spoilt. They tend to travel more than other children, from home to home and country to country, which causes feelings of restlessness. “But privileged children do have a better sense of their positions in the world,” adds Mr. Coles, “and they are more self-assured.” The rich children inherit the property from their parents and enjoy a high income. So money will never be one of their problems. “However they will have a sense of isolation”, warns Dr Coles, “and they couldsuffer from the hardship of not being able to deal with the everyday world because they will never really be given the chance. Everything they have achieved is becauseof an accident of birth. There can be no tremendous inner satisfaction about that.” Today’s wealthy parents perhaps realize their riches can be more of a heavy load than a happiness to their children. So the first thing for them to consider is to ensure that their families are as rich in love as they are in money. 31. In his book “The Privileged Ones,” Dr Coles implies that _______. A. there are fewer problems in the rich family than the poor family B. rich children live a life of separation from the world C. rich children usually enjoy more love than poor children D. the quality of rich children’s family life may not be high 32. In the doctor’s view, _______. A. there are both advantages and disadvantages to being rich B. traveling a lot will be beneficial to children C. rich children usually have little confidence in themselves D. rich kids are often short of money because of their life of luxury 33. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A. Rich children usually leada life of happiness. B. Rich children have earned what they have. C. Rich children tend to feel isolated. D. Rich children are hardly given too many material things. 34. According to the author of the passage, _______. A. life is really a long journey of joyfor rich children B. the rich children feel greatly satisfied with the property they inherit from their parents C. it is most important for wealth parents to make sure that their families are rich in love as well as in money D. today all the wealthy parents are sureof the problems their money can bring 35. It seems that the author of the passage_______ what Dr. Coles says in the book “The Privileged Ones”. A. knows little about B. is doubtful about C. is opposed to D. agrees with Passage 4 Very old people do raise moral problems for almost everyone who comes into contact with them. Their values —this can’t be repeated too often — are not necessarily our values. Physical comfort, cleanness and order are not necessarily the most important things. The social services from time to time find themselves faced with a flat with decaying(腐烂) food covered by small worms, and an old person lying alone on bed, taking no notice of the worms. But is it interfering with personal freedom to insistthat they go to live with some of their relatives so that they might be taken better care of? Some social workers, the ones who clear up the worms, think we are indanger of carrying this concept of personal freedom to the point where serious risks are being taken with the health and safety of the old. Indeed the old can be easily hurt or harmed. The body is like a car. It needs more mechanical maintenance as it gets older. You can carry this comparison right through to the provision of spare parts. But never forget that such operations are painful experiences, however good the results. And at what point should you cease to treat the old body? Is it morally right to try to push off death by continuing the development of drugs to excite the forgetful old mind and to make the old body active, knowing that it is designed to die? You cannot ask doctors or scientists to decide, because so long as they can see the technical opportunities, they will feel bound to give them a try, on the principle that while there’s life, there’s hope. When you talk to the old people, however, you are forced to the conclusion that whether age is happy or unpleasant depends less on money or on health than it does on your ability to have fun. 36. It is implied in Paragraph 1 that ______. A. very old people enjoy living with their relatives B. social services have nothing to do with very old people C. very old people would like to live alone so that they can have more personal freedom D. very old people are able to keep their rooms very clean 37. Some social workers think that _______. A. health and safety are more important than personal freedom B. personal freedom is more important than health and safety C. old people should keep their rooms clean D. one should not take risks dealing with old people 38. In the author’s opinion, ______.A. the human body can’t be compared to a carB. the older a person is, the more care he needsC. too much emphasis has been put on old people’s valuesD. it is easy to provide spare parts for old people 39. The word “it” in the last paragraph refers to _______. A. the conclusion you have come to B. whether age is happy or unpleasant C. your talk to the old people D. one’s money or one’s health 40. The author thinks that _______. A. medical decisions for old people should be left to the doctors B. old people can enjoy a happy life only if they are very rich C. the opinion that we should try every means possible to save old people is doubtful D. it is always morally right to treat old people and push off death Part III Cloze (10 points) Directions: There are 10 blanks in the following passage. For each blanks there are four choices marked A, B, C and D, you should choose one that best fits into thepassage. Then mark the answer by blanking the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a pencil. A daily dose of laughter may be good for the heart because, like exercise, it makes blood vessels work more efficiently. Depression, 41 the other hand, can raise the risk of dying from heart failure, a separate study found. The two studies, 42 at a meeting of the American College of Cardiology in Orlando, Florida, show how psychological factors can 43 a person's health. “We don't recommend that you laugh and not exercise, 44 we do recommend that you try to laugh on a regular basis. Thirty minutes of exercise three times a week, and 15 minutes of laughter on a daily 45 is probably good for the vascul ar system,“ said Dr. Michael Miller.

A. lowed B. decreased C. lessened D. lowered Part IV Translate from English to Chinese (20 points) Directions: Read the following passage and translate the 5 parts underlined in the following passage from English into Chinese and write them on the Translation Paper. Not all memories are sweet. Some people spend all their lives trying to forget bad experiences. Violence and traffic accidents can leave people with terrible physical and emotional scars. Often they relive these experiences in nightmares(噩梦). (51)Now American researchers think they are close to developing a pill, which will help people forget bad memories. The pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience. They hope it might reduce, or possibly erase(抹去), the effect of painful memories. In November, experts testeda drug on people in the US and France. The drug stops the body releasing chemicals that fix memories in the brain. (52) So far the research has suggested that only the emotional effects of memories may be reduced, not that the memories are erased. The research has caused a great deal of argument. Some think it is a bad idea, while others support it. (53)Supporters say it could lead to pills that prevent or treat soldiers’ troubling memories after war. They say that there are many people who suffer from terrible memories. “Some memories can ruin people’s lives. They come back to you when you don’t want to have them in a daydream or nightmare. They usually come with very painful emotions.” said Roger Pitman, a professor of psychiatry at Harvard MedicalSchool. “This could relieve a lot of that suffering.” (54)But those who are against the research say that it is very dangerous to change memories because memories give us our identity. They also help us all avoid the mistakes of the past. (55)“All of us can think of bad events in our lives that were horrible at the time but make us who we are. I’m not sure we want to wipe those memories out,” said Rebecca Dresser, a medical ethicist. Part V Writing (30 points) For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic: Positive and Negative Effects of Computer. Write at least 100 words and base your composition on the outline below and use the words for references as many as you can. 1)计算机被人们广泛使用; 2)计算机既有好的影响也有坏的影响; 3)我的看法。

For each of them, there are four suggested answers. Choose the one that you think is the best answer.Mark your ANSWER SHEET with a single line trough the center.Questions 11-15 are based on the following passage:Communication is the sending of information or news from one person to another. if human beings could not communicate with one another, each person would have to learn everything for himself, Although animals as well as men can communicate, so far as we know, they can express only the simple emotions like pain,joy,fear,huger of sounds and face movements, but we still have much to learn about these animal languages.Speech is the most important means of communication between people. But it is not the onlyone.Nor is it the oldest.We use facial expressions,gestures and hand movements to express ourfeelings and to send signals to other people. Animals use this “body language”a great deal.Thesign language used by deaf people is an example of communication without speech,while blind people communicate largely through touch and hearing.11,According to the passage, what would happen to us without communication?A.We should learn everything for ourselvesB.We would become unable to speak.C.We couldn’t live happily.D.We might have to do everything by ourselves.12.What does the passage say a about animals’communication?A.They have their advanced language in form of sound.B.They can express simple feelings such as hunger and pain.C.Some of them can communicate with people very well.D.All of them can use sound to express themselves.13.Which of the following statement is true?A.Humans do not have adequate knowledge about animal languages.B.We are now very much aware of animal languages.C.Most of animals use their facial expressiong.D.All animals make sounds to communicate with each other.14.What means of communication is used by most people?A.Facial expressions.B.Body movementsC.Speech.D.Body movement and speech.15.We can infer from the passage that the oldest form of communication between people is_____A.speechB.touch and hearingC.soundsD.body languageQuestions 16-20 are based on the following passage;No woman can be too rich or too thin. This saying often attributed to the late Duchess(公爵夫人)of Windsor embodies much of the odd spirit of our times.Being thin is deemed as such a virtue.The problem with such a view is that some people actually attempt to live by i. I myself have fantasies of slipping into narrow designer clothes.Consequently, I have been on a diet for the better——or worse——part of my life. Being rich wouldn’t be bad either, but that won’t happen unless an unknown relative dies suddenly in some distant land,leaving me millions of dollars.Where did we go off the track? When did eating butter become a sin,and a little bit of extra flesh unappealing,if not repellent?All religions have certain days when people refrain from eating.and excessive eating one of Christianity’s seven deadly sins. However, until quite recently,most people had a problem getting enough to eat. In some religious groups, wealth was a symbol of probable salvation and high morals.and fatness a sign of wealth and well-being.Today the opposite is true.We have shifted to thinness as our new mark of virtue.The result is that being fat——or even only somewhat overweight——is bad because it implies a lack of moralstrength.Qur obsession(迷恋)with thinness is also fueled by health coneerns.It is true that in this country we have more overweight people than ever before,and that,in many cases, being overweight correlates with an increased risk of heart and blood vessel disease.These diseases,however,may have as much to do with our way of life and our high-fat diets as with excess weight.And the associated risk of cancer in the digestive system may be more of a dictary problem——too much fat and a lack of fiber——than a weight problem.The real concern,then,is not that we weigh too much,but that we neither exercise enough norEat well.Exercise is necessary for strong bones and both heart and hing health.A balanced diet Without a lot of fat can also help the body avoid many diseases.

Mounted on a plane flown at 3,000feet at nigh,an infrared scanner Measured the heat emitted by crops. The data were transformed into a color-coded map showing Where plants were running “fevers” Farmers could then spot-spray,using 40 to 70 percent less Pesticide than they otherwise would.The bad news is that Paley’s company closed down in 1984,after 40 to 70 percent less pesticide than they otherwise would.The bad news is that Paley’s company closed down in 1984,after only three years,Farmers Resisted the new technology and long-term backers were hard to find.But with the renewed conccrn about pesticides on produce, and fefinements in infrared scanning,Paley hopes to get back into operation.Agriculture experts have no doubt the technology works,”This technique can be used on 75 percent of agricultural land in the United States,”says George Oerther of Texas A&M.Ray Jackson, who recently retird from the Departnt of Agriculture,thisks remote infrared crop scanning could be adopted by the end of the decade.But only if Paley finds the financial backing which he failed to obtain 10 years ago.21.Plants will emit an increased amount of heat when they are____A.sprayed with pesticidesB.facing an infrared scannerC.in poor physical conditionD.exposed to excessive sun rays22.In order to apply pesticide spraying precisely,we can use infrared scanning to___A,estimate the damage to the crops B.measure the size of the affected areaC.draw a color-coded mapD.locate the problem area23.Farmers can save a considerable amount of pesticide by___A.rcsorting to spot-sprayingB.consulting infrared scanning expertsC,transforming poisoned rainD.detecting crop problems at an carly stage24.The application of infrared scanning technology to agriculture met with some difficulties___A.the lack of offieial supportB.its high costC.the lack of financialD.its failure to help increase production25.Infrared scanning technology may be brought bafck into operation because of___A.the desire of farmers to improve the quality of their produceB.growing conccrn about the exccssive use of pesticides on cropsC.the forceful promotion by the Department of AgricultureD.full support from agricultural expertsQuestions 26-30 are based on the following passage:The appcal of advertising to buying motives can have both negative and positive effects.Consumers may be convinced to buy a product of poor quality or high price because of an advertisement.For example,some advertisers have appealed to people’s desire for better fuel economy for their cars by advertising automotive products that improve gasoline mileage.Some ofThe products work.Others are worthless and a waste of consumers’money.Sometimes advertising is intentionally misleading.A few years ago a brand of bread was offered to turned out that the bread was not dietetic(适合于节食的),but just regular bread,There fewercalories because it was sliccd very thin,but there were the same munber of calories in every loaf.On the positive side,emotional appeals may respond to a consumer’s real conccrns. Consider fire insurance.Fire insurance maybe sold by appealing to fear of loss.But fear of loss is the real reason for fire insurance. The security of knowing that property is protected by insurance makes the purchase of fire insurance a worthwhile investment for most people.If consumers consider the quality of the insureance plans as well as the message in the ads,they will bencfit from the advertising.Each consumer must evaluate her of his own situation.Are the benefits of the product important enough to justify buying it ? Advertising is intended to appcal to consumers, but it does not force them to buy the product. Consumers still control the final buying decision.26.Advertising can persuade the consumer to buy worthless products by__A.stressing their high qualityB.convincing him of their low priceC.maintaining a balance between quality and priceD.appealing to his buying motives27.The reason why the bread advertisement is misleading is that__A,thin slices of bread could contain more caloriesB,the loaf was cut into regular slicesC,the broad was not genuine broadD,the total number of calories in the loaf remained the same28.The passage tells us that__A.sometimes advertisements really sell what the consumer needsB.advertisements occasionally force consumers into buying things they don’t needC.the buying morives of consumers are controlled by advertisementsD.fire insurance is seldom a worthwhile investment29.It can be inferred from the passage that a smart consumer should__A.think carefully about the benefits described in the advertisementsB.guard against the deceiving nature of adverisementsC.be familiar with various advertising strategiesD.avoid buying products that have strong cmotional appeal30.The passage is mainly about___A.how to make a wise buying decisionB.ways to protect the interess of the consumerC.the positive and negative aspects of advertisingD.the function of advertisements in promoting salesPart Three ClozeDirections:For each blank in the following passage,choose the best answer from the choices givenbelow.Mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.When television first began to expand,very few of the people who had become famous as radio commentators were able to be effective on television,.Some of the difficulties they exspericnced when were trying to 31 themselves to the new medium were technical.When working on radio.for example,they had become 32 to seeing on behalf of the listener.This 33 of seeing for others means that the commcntator has to be very good at talking.Above all,he has to be able to 34 a continuous sequence of visual images which 35 meaning to the sounds which the listenerhears.In the 36 of television,however,the commentator seeseverything with the viewer.His role,therefore,is completely different.He is there to make 37 that the viewer does not niss some point of interest, to help him focus on particular things,and to 38 the images on the television serene Unlike his radio colleague,he mustg know the 39 of silence and how to use it at those moments 40 the picrures speak for themselves.31.A.turn B adapt C. alter D modify32.A.experienced B.determined C established D accustomed33.A.efficiency B.technology C.art D performance34.A.inspire B.create C.cause D.perceive35.A.add B.apply C.affect D.reflect36.A.occasion B.event C.fact D.case37.A.definite B,possible C,sure D.clear38.A.exhibit B.demonstrate C.expose D.interpret39.A.purpose B.goal C.value D.intention40.A.if B.when C.which D.asPart Four Dialogue CompletionDirections:There are ten short incomplete dialogues between two speakers ,each followed by four choices marded A.B .C and D.Choose the answer that appropriately suits the conversational contest and best completes the dialogue.

Some people subscribe (订阅) to as many as two or three newspapers. But why do people read newspapers?Five hundred years ago, news of important happenings — battles lost and won, king or rulers overthrown(推翻) or killed — took months and even years to travel from one country to another. The news passed by word of mouth and was never accurate. Today we can read in our newspapers of important events that occur in far away countries on the same day they happen.Apart from supplying news from all over the world, newspapers give us a lot of other useful information. There are weather reports, radio, television and film guides, book reviews, stories and, of course, advertisements. The bigger ones are put in by large companies to bring attention to theirproducts. They pay the newspapers thousands of dollars for the advertising space but it is worth the money, for news of their products goes into almost every home in the country. For those who produce newspapers, advertisements are also very important. Money earned from advertisements makes it possible for them to sell their newspapers at a low price and still make a profit.Newspapers often have information on gardening, cooking and fashion, as well as a small but very popular section on jokes and cartoons(漫画).41. The habit of reading newspapers is ________.A. uncommon in the worldB. not popular in U.S.A.C. widespread in the worldD. founded among a few families42. A few hundred years ago news did not ________.A. receive attentionB. travel fastC. spread to other countriesD. take long to reach other countries43. In the past, news was ________.A. sent by telegraphB. passed from one person to anotherC. sent by letterD. sent by telephone44. The money spent on advertisements is ________.A. wastedB. not muchC. worthwhileD. useless45. The section on jokes and cartoons is ________.A. read only by childrenB. of no valueC. not helpfulD. read by manyPassage 2Pepys and his wife had asked some friends to dinner on Sunday, September 2nd, 1666. They were very late on the Saturday evening, getting everything ready for the next day, and while they were busy they saw the glow of a fire start in the sky. By 3 o’clock on the Sunday morning, its glow had become so bright that Jane woke her husband to watch it. Pepys slipped on his dressing-gown and went to the window to watch it. It seemed fairly far away, so after a time he went back to bed. When he got up in the morning, it looked as though the fire was dying down, though he could still see some flames. So he set to work to tidy his room and put his things back where he wanted them.While he was doing this, Jane came in to say that she had heard the fire was a bad one. Three hundred houses had been burned down in the night and the fire was still burning. Pepys went out to see for himself. He went to the Tower ofLondon and climbed up on a high part of the buildings so that he could see what was happening. From there, Pepys could see that it was, indeed, a bad fire and that even the houses on London Bridge were burning. The man of the Tower told him that the fire had started in a baker’s shop in Pudding Lane; the baker’s house had caught fire from the over-heated oven and then the flames had quickly spread to the other houses in the narrow lane. So began the Great Fire of London, a fire that lasted nearly five days, destroyed most of the old city and ended, so it is said, at Pie Corner.46. What is the passage about?A. The Great Fire of London.B. Who was the first to discover the fire.C. What Pepys was doing during the fire.D. The losses caused by the fire.47. They were up very late because ________.A. it was Sunday morningB. they were not very sleepyC. they were preparing for the dinnerD. they saw the great fire start48. What was Pepys doing when his wife told him about the fire?A. He was asleep.B. He was writing something.C. He was putting things back.D. He was looking out of the window.49. Pepys slipped on his dressing gown. “To slip on ”means______.A. to be wearingB. to be pushingC. to take offD. to put on50. Why did the flames spread quickly?A. The oven became very hot.B. The houses were close together.C. The baker did nothing to stop it.D. The baker’s house was burning quickly.Passage 3A new report of the United Nations shows that, if the present growth rate of 2 percent per year continues, today’s world population of 5.1 billion will hit 6.4 billion by the year 2000.What’s more, the great part of the growth — 9 of every 10 people added to the earth’s population — will be in the poor and undeveloped countries. These are the nations where providing enough food for billions of people already is proving to be a headaching problem.By the year 2000, today’s “have not”nations will have a total population of 5 billion people, nearly four fifths of the world’s population.Food isn’t the only problem that such a population explosion presents. The more people there are and the worse their living conditions, the greater grows the possibility of all kinds of social problems.In 1830, world population reached 1 billion. It took only 100 more years to add another billion to world population; just 30 more to add a third billion. And it took just 15 more years to reach the 4 billion mark in 1975.Actually, the world’s birth rate is falling. But so is death rate, as medical advances have made it possible for man to live longer than before. Such advances have also reduced baby death rate. Unless population growth is reduced, the world population may reach 12 billion in a century. Is the earth capable of providing a good life for so large a population?51. A population explosion will lead to ________.A. a lot of social problemsB. medical advancesC. a decrease in food productionD. a worse life in every country52. It took about ________ years for world population to grow from l billion to 3 billion.A. 100B. 115C. 130D. 14553. By the year 2000, today’s ________ nations will have a total population of 5 billion people,nearly four fifths of the world’s population.A. biggestB. AsianC. developingD. developed54. ________, the world may have a population of 12 billion a century.A. If man can live longer in the futureB. If the science of medicine is developing fast enoughC. If the population growth is not reducedD. If the earth is able to provide a good life for more people55. This passage tells us that ________.A. the United Nations thinks it possible to avoid a population explosionB. 5.1 billion people are living in the undeveloped countriesC. in advanced nations the population growth is being controlledD. the world’s population is increasingPassage 4A scientist who wants to predict the way in which consumers(消费者) will spend their money must study consumer behavior. He must obtain data both on the resources of consumers and on the motives that tend to encourage or discourage money spending.If an economist were asked which of the three groups borrow most — people with rising incomes, stable incomes, or decreasing incomes — he would probably answer: those with decreasing incomes. Actually, in the years 1947-1950, the answer was: people with rising incomes. People with decreasing incomes were next and people with stable incomes borrowed the least. This shows us that traditional assumptions(假设) about earning and spending are not always reliable. Another traditional assumption is that if people who have money expect prices to go up, they will hasten to buy. If they expect prices to go down, they will postpone buying. But research surveys have shown that this is not always true. The expectations of price increases may not stimulate buying. One typical attitude was expressed by the wife of a mechanic in an interview at a time of rising prices. “In a few months,”she said, “we’ll have to pay more for meat and milk; we’ll have less to spend on other things.”Her family had been planning to buy a new car but they postponed this purchase. Furthermore, the rise in prices that has already taken place may be disliked and buyer’s resistance may be produced. This is shown by the following typical comment: “I just don’t pay these prices; they are too high.”The investigations mentioned above were carried out in America. The condition most helpful to spending appears to be price stability. If prices have been stable and people consider that they are reasonable, they are likely to buy. Thus, it appears that the common business policy of maintaining stable prices is based on a correct understanding of consumer psychology(心理学). 56. According to the passage, if one wants to predict the way consumers spend their money, heshould ________.A. rely on traditional assumptions about earning and spendingB. try to encourage or discourage consumers to spend moneyC. carry out investigations on consumer behavior and get data on consumers’incomes andmoney spending motivesD. do researches in consumer psychology in a laboratory57. According to paragraph 2, one traditional assumption is that people with ________ incomesborrow most.A. averageB. stableC. decreasingD. rising58. According to paragraph 2, research surveys have proved that ________.A. price increases always stimulate people to hasten to buy thingsB. rising prices may make people put off their purchase of certain thingsC. women are more sensitive to the rising in prices than menD. the expectations of price increases often make buyers feel angry59. From the results of the surveys, the writer of this article ________.A. concludes that the saving and spending patterns in Great Britain are better than thosein AmericaB. concludes that the consumers always expect prices to remain stableC. concludes that maintaining stable prices is a correct business policyD. does not draw any conclusion60. Which of the following statements is always TRUE according to the surveys mentioned in thepassage?A. Consumers will put off buying things if they expect prices to decrease.B. Consumers will spend their money quickly if they expect prices to increase.C. The price condition has an influence on consumer behavior.D. Traditional assumptions about earning and spending are reliable.Part III Cloze (10%)Directions: There are 10 blanks in the following passage. For each blanks there are four choices marked A, B, C and D, you should choose one that best fits into the passage. Then mark the answer by blanking the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a pencil.Humans fall into two types when it comes to biological clock: the early-to-bed andearly-to-rise or late-night-loving who wake up long after the dawn. As any parent knows, teenagers may take the 61 to extremes. But their oversleeping does not relax them. Some researcher say: “: Biology is to blame.”The researchers surveyed the sleep habits of 25,000 Germans, 62 from 8 to 90, and found that as the teenage years wear on, the hour when kids go to bed and get up drifts later and later. It’s not that they’re sleeping more. 63 , it’s that their living clock is twisted. However, around age20, the pattern reverses. The clocks tick 64 , and young adults begin to go to sleep and wake up earlier and earlier. Eventually, their clocks coincide with 65 of older people.The quick change may mark the biological end of teenage years. A difference 66 the timing in men and in women points to a biological cause, perhaps a hormonal effect.Because the living clock is 67 by exposure to sunlight, the researchers suspects the many hours some kids 68 staying in their dark rooms could push the clocks even later—a pattern that may be more common in industrialized societies. The researchers also discovered that rural residents, 69 lifestyle puts them in daylight more, retire and rise an hour earlier than city 70 . “We think this is only the tip of an iceberg that shows us the consequences of dim-light environments,”the researchers say.61.

Throughout history the sea has served the needs of man. (71)The sea has provided man with food and a convenient way to travel to many parts of the world. Today, experts believe that nearly two-thirds of the world’s population live within eighty kilometers of the seacoast.(72) In the modern technological world the sea offers many resources to help mankind survive. Resources on land are beginning to grow less. The sea, however, still offers hope to supply many of man’s needs in the future.(73)The riches of the sea yet to be developed by man’s technology are impressive. Oil and gas explorations have existed for nearly thirty years. Valuable amounts of minerals such as iron, copper and so on exist on the ocean floor.Besides oil and gas, the sea may offer new sources of energy. For example, warm temperature of the ocean can be used as the steam in a steamship. Sea may also offer a source of energy as electricity for mankind.(74)Technology is enabling man to explore even deeper under the sea. It is obvious that the technology to harvest the sea continues to improve. (75) By the year 2050, experts believe that the problems to explore the food, minerals and energy resources of the sea will have been largely solved.Part V Writing (15%)For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic:Global Shortage of Fresh Water Write at least 100 words and base your composition on the outline below and use the words for references as many as you can.1. 人们以为淡水是取之不尽的 (提示:雨水、河水、井水......)2. 实际上淡水是非常紧缺的 (提示:人口增加,工业用水增加,污染......)3. 我们应该怎么办解析Part I Vocabulary and Structure1.

For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.Passage OneHow much do you know about nutrition? If your knowledge is similar to that of food shoppers who answered three surveys for the U. S. Food and Drug Administration, then you probably share some wide-spread misinformation about nutrition. Check your answers to the following statements. Is it true or false?Statement 1: Fresh vegetables cooked at home are always more nutritious than canned or frozen vegetables. False. The nutritional difference depends more on how vegetables are handled or prepared than in whether they are bought fresh or packaged. Overcooking, for example, destroys many nutrients. Vegetables cooked in too much water can lose a significant amount of vitamins. Statement 2: When dieting, avoid starchy(淀粉类) foods, such as bread or potatoes. False. If you cut out starchy foods, such as peas, potatoes, bread, and rice, you cut out very good sources of several B vitamins, Vitamin C, and other nutrients. Moreover, ounce for ounce, bread and potatoes have fewer calories than sirloin steak and roast beef.Statement 3: Taking extra vitamins beyond the recommended daily allowances won’t give you more energy. True. It’s widely believed th at extra vitamins provide more energy. But taking more than the body needs doesn't make it function better, just as overfilling your gas tank doesn’t make your car run faster.If you answered these questions correctly, you can for the time being consider yourself well informed about food and nutrition by today’s standards. But remember that nutrition is a complex and growing science and that today’s beliefs may be changed as new information becomes available.16. The first paragraph implies that many people __________.A. are well informed about nutritionB. don’t care about nutritionC. have much knowledge of nutritionD. have incorrect ideas about nutrition17. According to paragraph 2, which is NOT true about nutrition?A. Overcooking destroys many nutrients.B. It makes no difference how you prepare vegetables.C. Both fresh and packaged vegetables are nutritious.D. Vitamins in vegetable could be lost during cooking.18. Which is a correct attitude towards starchy food?A. Starchy foods are unnecessary in a balanced diet.B. Bread and steak have the same amount of calories per ounce.C. Valuable nutrients could be found in starchy foods.D. Starchy foods include only peas, potatoes, bread and rice.19. The description of “overfilling your gas tank” sh ows why __________.A. one should take as much vitamins as possibleB. more than enough vitamins is unnecessaryC. vitamins cost as much as gasD. doctors recommend allowance of vitamins20. A good title for this article would be__________.A. Tips of Losing Weight EffectivelyB. Test Your Nutrition IQC. Nutrition: A Complex Branch of ScienceD. Misleading Nutrition ConceptsPassage TwoMost women in Ghana--the educated and illiterate, the urban and rural, the young and old--work to earn an income in addition to maintaining their roles as housewives and mothers. Their reputation for economic independence, self-reliance, and hard work is well known and well deserved.Most of Ghana’s working women are farmers and traders. Only one woman in five, or even fewer, can be classified as simply housewives. Even these women often earn money by sewing or by baking and cooking things to sell. They also maintain vegetable gardens and chicken farms. Indeed, the woman who depends entirely upon her husband for support is looked upon with disfavor.Traditionally the tasks of motherhood have been shared. Mothers and sisters, grandmothers and nieces all helped to raise the children and to carry out daily tasks. As the family grew, older brothers and sisters also helped to care for the younger ones and helped in the home. Now with more children going to school, with more people moving away from their traditional homes, not only must the mother continue her income-producing activities, but she must take on all the heavy, time-consuming housework.Ghana today is looking for new ways to meet the needs of women and their families, such as providing more day care centers, so women can continue to play their multiple roles in the homeand in the economy.21. What is the role of most women in Ghana?A. Handling various housework at home.B. Taking care of children indoors.C. Farming and trading out of house.D. Working as well as maintaining families.22. “self-reliance” could be explained as “__________”.A. making great wealthB. depending on oneselfC. caring for one’s ownD. being a reliable person23. What kind of women do people in Ghana prefer?A. Beautiful and charming.B. Skillful at sewing or baking.C. Depending totally on husbands.D. Working hard to earn incomes.24.Paragraph 3 describes__________.A. how traditional extended families operateB. why women in Ghana have more burdens nowC. how changes in life help the working womenD. the new life style of Ghana’s people25. The author of this article probably agrees that women inGhana should__________.A. stay at home and focus on family lifeB. become as active as men in businessC. try to maintain their original rolesD. make a choice and stick to one rolePassage ThreeThe blues was born on the Mississippi River Delta in the early 1900s. After the Civil War, the slaves were free but life was still not easy. They had to find new work. In the South, work camps were formed. Black people from these camps worked on farms and on building up the Mississippi River banks. During the week the people worked long and hard. They often lived alone, without their families, far from home. On the weekends, the workers got together at picnics or drinking places. Travelling black musicians with guitars entertained them. The musicians sang songs about the difficult life of the workers. These songs were called the blues.If you have the blues it means you feel very sad. You can have the blues because you have no money, no job, no lover, or no home. But blue songs were not always sad. Some of them were happy and many of them were funny.Sometimes the blues singers had song contests. Each singer sang new words or a new style of the blues song. They made up the music as they played. In this way they created new music. This is called improvisation. Later, improvisation became a very important part of jazz music.Blues began in the country in the South. As blacks moved into the big cities to work, the blues went with them. There, they sang about life in the cities. W. C. Handy, a black band leader from Memphis made the blues popular all over America. In 1914 he wrote the most famous blues song of all, “The St. Louis Blues”.26.

The most well-known blues song is “The St. Louis Blues”.Passage FourNo matter who you are or where you come from, one thing is certain:you are acquainted with the mosquito(蚊子)--although you probably wish you weren’t. Mosquitoes are everywhere. They can be found all over the world, and they come in more than 2,500 species. Somewhere, at some time, you have surely met at least one.No one loves the mosquito. But unfortunately the mosquito may decide that she loves you. Yes,She. Only the female mosquito bites. It’s not because she’s unfriendly: she needs blood to reproduce. Female mosquito is quite selective, and she chooses her victims carefully. First, she uses sensors to find her victim. With these sensors, she tests your body moisture, body warmth, and chemical substances in your sweat. If she likes what she finds, she bites. But if you don’t appeal to her, she’ll reject you for someone more appetizing. The next time a mos quito bites you, just remember that you were chosen. You’re special.If the mosquito likes you, she settles onto your flesh very gently, and she breaks your skin with her proboscis tip. It’s a kind of mouth and it sticks out just below the mosquito’s eyes. She stabs the proboscis tip into your skin at once, and if she hits a blood vessel, she’ll get a full dinner in about a minute. After that, the mosquito is tired. Heavy with your blood, she picks a spot---on a leave or a stone---to lay her eggs. Just one drop of blood will produce hundreds of eggs.31. By the sentence “you are acquainted with the mosquito--although you probably wish you weren’t”, the author means that people _________.A. don’t like mosquito but it is always thereB. know mosquito and wish them wellC. wish all the mosquito disappearedD. want to be friendly to mosquito but fail at last32. Why is it only female mosquito that bites?A. She is more unfriendly than male.B. She is greater in number.C. Blood is her favorite food.D. Blood enables her to lay eggs.33. To select whom to bite, the mosquito’s sensors may NOT test_________.A. the temperature of the bodyB. the color of the skinC. the chemical elements in sweatD. the wetness of the body34.According to the last paragraph, the function of proboscis tip is to _______.A. find where to biteB. to stick into the flesh and suck bloodC. to remove the skin and collect bloodD. decide whom to reject35. The main idea of the passage could be _______.A. why and how mosquito bites peopleB. why people dislike mosquitoC. what kind of mosquito bites peopleD. how to identify female mosquitoPart III Vocabulary and Structure (20 points)Directions: There are 40 incomplete sentences in this part.
