For each blank there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should choose the ONE that best fits into the passage and mark the corresponding letter on the ANSWER SHEET.For many people today, reading is no longer relaxation. To keep up with their work, they must read letters, reports, trade publications, interoffice communications, not to mention newspapers and magazines: a never ending flood of words. In 51 a job or advancing in one, the ability to read and comprehend 52 can mean the difference between success and failure. Yet the unfortunate fact is that most of us are 53 readers. Most of us develop poor reading 54 at an early age, and never get over them. The main deficiency 55 in the actual stuff of language itself—words. Taken individually, words have 56 meaning until they are strung together into phrases, sentences and paragraphs. 57, however, the untrained reader does not read groups of words. He laboriously reads one word at a time, often regressing to 58 words or passages. Regression, the tendency to look back over 59 you have just read, is a common bad habit in reading. Another habit which 60 down the speed of reading is vocalization( 发声)—sounding each word either orally or mentally as 61 reads.To overcome these bad habits, some reading clinics use a device called an 62, which moves a bar(or curtain)down the page at a predetermined speed. The bar is set at a slightly faster rate 63 the reader finds comfortable, in order to “stretch” him. The accelerator forces the reader to read fast, 64 word by word reading, regression and subvocalization practically impossible. At first 65 is sacrificed f orspeed. But when you learn to read ideas and concepts, you will not only read faster, 66 your comprehension will improve. Many people have found 67 reading skill drastically improved after some training. 68 Chalice Au, a business manager, for instance, his reading rate was a reasonably good 172 words a minute 69 the training, now it is an excellent 1,378 words a minute.

To keep up with their work, they must read letters, reports, trade publications, interoffice communications, not to mention newspapers and magazines: a never ending flood of words. In 51 a job or advancing in one, the ability to read and comprehend 52 can mean the difference between success and failure. Yet the unfortunate fact is that most of us are 53 readers. Most of us develop poor reading 54 at an early age, and never get over them. The main deficiency 55 in the actual stuff of language itself— words. Taken individually, words have 56 meaning until they are strung together into phrases, sentences and paragraphs. 57, however, the untrained reader does not read groups of words. He laboriously reads one word at a time, often regressing to 58 words or passages. Regression, the tendency to look back over 59 you havejust read, is a common bad habit in reading. Another habit which 60 down the speed of reading is vocalization( 发声 )—sounding each word either orally or mentally as 61 reads.To overcome these bad habits, some reading clinics use a device called an 62, which moves a bar(or curtain)down the page at a predetermined speed. The bar is set at a slightly faster rate 63 the reader finds comfortable, in order to “stretch ”him. The accelerator forces the reader to read fast, 64 word by word reading, regression and subvocalization practically impossible. At first 65 is sacrificed forspeed. But when you learn to read ideas and concepts, you will not only read faster, 66 your comprehension will improve. Many people have found 67 reading skill drastically improved after some training. 68 Chalice Au, a business manager, for instance, his reading rate was a reasonably good 172 words a minute 69 the training, now it is an excellent 1,378 words a minute.

Each passage is followed by some questions or incomplete statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet .Passage 1Without proper planning, tourism can cause problems. For example, too many tourists can crowd public places that are also enjoyed by the inhabitants of a country. If tourists create too much traffic, the inhabitants become annoyed and unhappy. They begin to dislike tourists and to treat them impolitely. They forget how much tourism can help the country's economy. It is important to think about the people of a destination(目的地）country and how tourism affects them. Tourism should help a country keep the customs and beauty that attract tourists. Tourism should also advance the well-being (health and happiness）of local inhabitants.Too much tourism can be a problem. If tourism grows too quickly, people leave other jobs to work in the tourism industry. This means that other parts of the country's economy can suffer On the other hand, if there is not enough tourism, people can lose jobs. Businesses can also lose money. It costs a great deal of money to build large hotels, airports, air terminals, first-class roads, and other support facilities(设施）needed by tourist attractions. For example, a major international-class tourism hotel can cost as much as 50 thousand dollars per room to build. If this room is not used most of the time, the owners of the hotel lose money.Building a hotel is just a beginning. There must be many support facilities as well, including roads to get to the hotel, electricity, sewers (阴沟）to handle waste, and water. All of these support facilities cost money. If they are not used because there are not enough tourists, jobs and money are lost.61. Which of the following has most probably been discussed in the paragraph that goes before the passage?A. It is extremely important to develop tourism.B. Building roads and hotels is necessary.C. Support facilities are highly necessary.D. Planning is of great importance to tourism.62. Too much tourism can cause all these problems EXCEPT _______.A. a bad impact on other industriesB. a change of tourists' customsC. overcrowdedness of places of interestD. pressure on traffic63. Not enough tourism can lead to _______.A. an increase of unemploymentB. a decrease in tourist attractionsC. the higher cost of support facilitiesD. a rise in price and a fall in pay64. It is good for local people to be well aware that tourism will _______.A. use up a large amount of waterB. weaken their economyC. help establish their traditionsD. help improve their life65. The word handle in the last paragraph most probably means _______.A.carry awayB. pick upC. get inD. take downPassage 2Educators are seriously concerned about the high rate of dropouts among the doctor of philosophy candidates and the consequent loss of talent to a nation in need of Ph. D. s. Some have placed the dropouts loss as high as 50 percent. The extent of the loss was, however, largely a matter of expert guessing. Last week a well-rounded study was published. It was published. It was based on 22,000 questionnaires sent to former graduate students who were enrolled in 24 universities and it seemed to show many past fears to be groundless.The dropouts rate was found to be 31 per cent, and in most cases the dropouts, while not completing the Ph. D. requirement, went on to productive work. They are not only doing well financially, but, according to the report, are not far below the income levels of those who went on to complete their doctorates.Discussing the study last week, Dr. Tucker said the project was initiated ‘because of the concern frequently expressed by graduate faculties and administrators that some of the individuals who dropped out of Ph. D. programs were capable of competing the requirement for the degree. Attrition at the Ph. D. level is also thought to be a waste of precious faculty time and a drain on university resources already being used to capacity. Some people expressed the opinion that the shortage of highly trained specialists and college teachers could be reduced by persuading the dropouts to return to graduate schools to complete the Ph. D.’“The results of our research” Dr. Tucker concluded, “did not support these opinions.”ck of motivation was the principal reason for dropping out.2.Most dropouts went as far in their doctoral program as was consistent with their levels ofability or their specialities.3.Most dropouts are now engaged in work consistent with their education and motivation.Nearly 75 per cent of the dropouts said there was no academic reason for their decision, but those who mentioned academic reason cited failure to pass the qualifying examination, uncompleted research and failure to pass language exams. Among the single most important personal reasons identified by dropouts for non-completion of their Ph. D. program, lack of finances was marked by 19 per cent.As an indication of how well the dropouts were doing, a chart showed 2% in humanities were receiving $ 20,000 and more annually while none of the Ph. D. ‘s with that background reached this figure. The Ph. D. ‘s shone in the $ 7,500 to $ 15,000 bracket with 78% at that level against 50% for the dropouts. This may also be an indication of the fact that top salaries in the academic fields, where Ph. D. ‘s tend to rise to the highe st salaries, are still lagging behind other fields.As to the possibility of getting dropouts back on campus, the outlook was glum. The main condition which would have to prevail for at least 25 % of the dropouts who might consider returning to graduate school would be to guarantee that they would retain their present level of income and in some cases their present job.66.The author states that many educators feel thatA. steps should be taken to get the dropouts back to campus.B. the dropouts should return to a lower quality school to continue their study.C. the Ph.D. holder is generally a better adjusted person than the dropout.D. The high dropouts rate is largely attributable to the lack of stimulation on the part of faculty members.67.Research has shown thatA. Dropouts are substantially below Ph. D. ‘s in financial attainment.B. the incentive factor is a minor one in regard to pursuing Ph. D. studies.C. The Ph.D. candidate is likely to change his field of specialization if he drops out.D. about one-third of those who start Ph. D. work do not complete the work to earn the degree.68.Meeting foreign language requirements for the Ph. D.A. is the most frequent reason for dropping out.B. is more difficult for the science candidate than for the humanities candidate.C. is an essential part of many Ph.D. programs.D. does not vary in difficulty among universities.69.After reading the article, one would refrain from concluding thatA. optimism reigns in regard to getting Ph. D. dropouts to return to their pursuit of the degree.B. a Ph. D. dropout, by and large, does not have what it takes to learn the degree.C. colleges and universities employ a substantial number of Ph.D. dropouts.D. Ph. D. ‘s are not earning what they deserve in nonacademic positions.70.It can be inferred that the high rate of dropouts lies inA. salary for Ph. D. too low.B. academic requirement too high.C. salary for dropouts too high.D. 1000 positions.Passage 3One day last September, as Britney Spears was about to board a flight to Los Angeles from London, a blue bottle fell out of her purse. She quickly put it back in, but not before the camera recorded the event. Neither Spears nor her spokesman was willing to comment on the contents of the bottle, but the next morning London’s Daily Express published a page of pictures under the headline “EXCLUSIVE: POP PRINCESS SPOTTED AT AIRPORT WITH POT OF SLIMMING TABLETS.” Spears was apparently carrying Zantrex-3, one of the most popular weight-loss pills now sold in the United States. The pill, which is sold at about fifty dollars for a month’s supply, contains a huge amount of caffeine, some green tea, and three common South American herbs that also act as stimulants (兴奋剂). It hit the U.S. market last March and has had a success that would be hard to overstate. Millions of bottles have been sold, and during the Christmas season it was displayed in the windows of the nation’s largest chain of vitamin shops, G.N.C. (It is so highly sought after that many of the stores keep it in locked counters.) Zantrex-3 is also sold at CVS, Rite Aid, Wal-Mart, and other chains, and over the telephone and on the Internet. If you type “Zantrex” into Google, more than a hundred thousand pieces of information about it will appear. At any moment, there are scores of people sell it on eBay.Perhaps the most interesting thing about the success story of Zantrex-3, however, is that it is far from unique. There are hundreds of similar products on the market today, and they are bought by millions of Americans. And though Zantrex’s producer makes some exciting statements (“the most advanced weight control compound (化合物)period”), so do the people who sell Stacker 2 and Anorex along with those who sell Carb Eliminator and Fat Eliminator. Almost all of these compounds suggest that they can help people lose weight and regain lost energy, and often without diet, exercise, or any other effort.71. Britney Spears is a / an______.A. dancerB. singerC. athleteD. chemist72. Which of the following is also a kind of weight-loss pill?A. CVSB. Rite AidC. Wal-MartD. Anorex73. The underlined part of the sentence in the first paragraph is most likely similar in meaning to______.A. it is difficult to say how successful Zantrex-3 isB. you can’t overstate the success of Zantrex-3C. you can’t think too highly of the success of Zantrex-3D. Zantrex-3 is not very successful74. From the second paragraph we know that ______ .A. Zantrex-3 is one of the successful weight-loss pills on the US marketB. Zantrex-3 is the most successful weight-loss pills on the US marketC. Zantrex-3 is the only weight-loss pill on the US marketD. there are five kinds of weight-loss pills on the US market75. The text mainly tells us ______.A. when Britney Spears was found taking weight-loss pills with herB. how Zantrex-3 became successful in the USAC. weight-loss pills are very popular in the USAD. Zantrex-3 is forbidden to be sold on the US marketPassage 4How could we possibly think that keeping animals in cages in unnatural environments－mostly for entertainment purposes－is fair and respectful?Zoo officials say they are concerned about animals. However, most zoos remain “collections” of interesting “things” rather than protective habitats (栖息地）. Zoos teach people that it is acceptable to keep animals bored, lonely, and far from their natural homes.Zoos claim (声称）to educate people and save endangered species(物种）, but visitors leave zoos without having learned anything meaningful about the animals’ natural behavior, intelligence, or beauty. Zoos keep animals in small spaces or cages, and most signs only mention the species’ name, diet, and natural range(分布区）. The animals’ normal behavior is seldom notic ed because zoos don’t usually take care of the animals’ natural needs.The animals are kept together in small spaces, with no privacy and little opportunity for mental and physical exercise. This results in unusual and self-destructive behavior called zoochosis. A worldwide study of zoos found that zoochosis is common among animals kept in small spaces or cages. Another study showed that elephants spend 22 percent of their time making repeated head movements or biting cage bars, and bears spend 30 percent of their time walking back and forth, a sign of unhappiness and pain.Furthermore, most animals in zoos are not endangered. Captive breeding(圈养繁殖）of endangered big cats, Asian elephants, and other species has not resulted n their being sent back tothe wild. Zoos talk a lot about their captive breeding programs because they do not want people to worry about a species dying out. In fact, baby animals also attract a lot of paying customers. Haven’t we seen enough competitions to name baby animals?Actually, we will save endangered species only if we save their habitats and put an end to the reasons people kill them. Instead of supporting zoos, we should support groups that work to protect animals’ natural habitats.76. How would the author describe the anim als’ life in zoos?A. Dangerous.B. Unhappy.C. Natural.D. Easy.77. In the state of zoochosis, animals _________.A. remain in cagesB. behave strangelyC. attack other animalsD. enjoy moving around78. What does the author try to argue n the passage?A. Zoos are not worth the public support.B. Zoos fail in their attempt to save animals.C. Zoos should treat animals as human beings.D. Zoos use animals as a means of entertainment.79. The author tries to persuade readers to accept his argument mainly by _____.A. pointing out the faults in what zoos doB. using evidence he has collected at zoosC. questioning the way animals are protectedD. discussing the advantages of natural habitats80. Although he argues against zoos, the author would still agree that _______.A. zoos have to keep animals in small cagesB. most animals in zoos are endangered speciesC. some endangered animals are reproduced in zoosD. it’s acceptable to keep animals away from their habitatsPart IV Translation （2×10）Directions：There are 10 sentences in this section，please translate sentences 81-85 from Chinese into English，and translate sentences 86-90 from English into Chinese.

Each passage is followed by some questions or incomplete statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet .Passage 1Throughout the world, boys and girls prefer to play with different types of toys. Boys typically like to play with cars and trucks, while girls typically choose to play with dolls. Why is this? A traditional sociological explanation is that boys and girls are socialized and encouraged to play with different types of toys by their parents, peers, and the “society”. Growing scientific evidence suggests, however, that boys? and girls? toy preferences may have a biological origin.In 2002, Gerianne M. Alexander of Texas A&M University and Melissa Hines of City University in London surprised the scientific world by showing that monkeys showed the same sex typical toy preferences as humans. In the study, Alexander and Hines gave two masculine toys (a ball and a police car), two feminine toys (a soft doll and a cooking pot), and two neutral toys (a picture book and a stuffed dog) to 44 male and 44 female monkeys. They then assessed the monkeys? preference for each toy by measuring how much time they spent with each. Their data showed that male monkeys showed significantly greater interest in the masculine toys, and the female monkeys showed significantly greater interest in the feminine toys. The two sexes did not differ in their preference for the neutral toys.If children? s toy preferences were largely formed by gender socialization, as traditiona l sociologists? claim, in which their parents give “gender appropriate” toys to boys and girls, how can these male and female monkeys have the same preferences as boys and girls？They were never socialized by humans, and they had never seen these toys before in their lives.61．Traditional sociologists believe boys? and girls? toy preferences ________.A. are passed down from their parentsB. have a biological originC. have nothing to do with gender socializationD. are largely formed in later life62．The study by Alexander and Hines shows that monkeys________.A. also play toys as humans doB. also have a sex typical toy preferenceC. have no toy preferencesD. like to play different toys at different time63．Alexander and Hines carried out the study to ________.A. find out why boys and girls prefer different toysB. test the intelligence of monkeysC. test whether monkeys like to play toysD. find more evidence for traditional sociology64．According to the study, if given a stuffed dog, ________.A. only the male monkeys showed interestB. the female monkeys showed more interestC. the male and female monkeys showed the same interestD. neither the male nor the female monkeys showed any interest65．Masculine toys are mainly intended for________.A. monkeysB. adultC. boysD. girlsPassage 2When Steve Maxwell graduated from college, he had an engineering degree and a high tech job —but he couldn?t balance his checkbook. “I took one finance class in college but dropped it to go on a ski trip，” sa ys the 45 year old father of three, who lives in Windsor, Colorado. “I actually had to go to my bank and ask them to teach me how to read my statement.”One of the biggest obstacles to making money is not understanding it: Thousands of us avoid investing b ecause we just don?t get it. But to make money, you must be financially literate. “It bothered me that I didn?t understand this stuff，” says Steve, “so I read books and magazines about money management and investing, and I asked every financial whiz (能⼿) I knew to explain things to me.”He and his wife started applying the lessons: They made a point to live below their means. They never bought on impulse, always negotiated better deals (on their cars，cable bills, furniture) and stayed in their home long after they went for an expensive vacation. They also put 20 percent of their annual salary into investments.Within ten years, they were millionaires, and people were coming to Steve for advice. “Someone would say, …I need to refinance my house —what should I do? …A lot of times，I wouldn?t know the answer, but I?d go to find it and learn something in the process，” he says.In 2003, Steve quit his job to become part owner of a company that holds personal finance seminars (研讨会) for employees of corporations like Wal Mart. He also started going to real estate investment seminars, and it?s paid off: He now owns $ 30 million worth of investment properties, including apartment complexes, a shopping mall and a quarry.“I was an engineer who never thought this life wa s possible, but all it truly takes is a little self education，” says Steve. “You can do anything once you understand the basics.”66. When Steve Maxwell graduated from college, he________.A. couldn?t balance his work and lifeB. made up his mind to become a millionaireC. didn?t know how to manage his moneyD. often went to banks to borrow money67. The underlined part “live below their means” (in Paragraph 3) probably means “________”．A. take effective measuresB. live a miserable lifeC. spend more money than they hadD. spend less money than they had68. Since Steve Maxwell became a millionaire, he________.A. has been unwilling to help othersB. hasn?t stopped learning from practiceC. has been willing to follow others? adviceD. has stopped to invest in houses69. What would be the best title for the passage?A. A self made engineerB. How to balance your checkbookC. Don?t avoid investingD. Educate yourself to become a millionaire70. It can be inferred from the passage that________.A. self education is very important to one?s lifeB. everyone should learn how to invest in their lifeC. Steve Maxwell was quite interested in finance classes in collegeD. Steve became rich because he saved every penny he had earnedPassage 3Lisa was running late. Lisa, 25, had a lot to do at work, plus visitors on the way: her parents were coming in for Thanksgiving from her hometown. But as she hurried down the subway stairs, she started to feel uncomfortably warm. By the time she got to the platform，Lisa felt weak and tired —maybe it hadn?t been a good idea to give blood th e night before, she thought. She rested herself against a post close to the tracks.Several yards away, Frank ,43, and his girlfriend, Jennifer，found a spot close to where the front of the train would stop. They were deep in discussion about a house they were thinking of buying.But when he heard the scream, followed by someone yelling，“Oh, my God, she fell in！”Frank didn?t hesitate. He jumped down to the tracks and ran some 40 feet toward the body lying on the rails. “No ! Not you ! ”his girlfriend screame d after him.She was right to be alarmed. By the time Frank reached Lisa，he could feel the tracks shaking and see the light coming. The train was about 20 seconds from the station.It was hard to lift her. She was just out. But he managed to raise her the four feet to the platform so that bystanders could hold her by the arms and drag her away from the edge. That was where Lisa briefly regained consciousness，felt herself being pulled along the ground，and saw someone else holding her purse.Lisa thought she?d been robbed. A woman held her hand and a man gave his shirt to help stop the blood pouring from her head. And she tried to talk but she couldn?t，and that was when she realized how much pain she was in.Police and fire officials soon arrived, and Frank told the story to an officer. Jennifer said her boyfriend was calm on their 40 minute train ride downtown—just as he had been seconds after the rescue，which made her think about her reaction at the time. “I saw the train coming and I was thinking he was going to die，” she explained.71．What was the most probable cause for Lisa?s weakness?A. She had run a long way.B. She felt hot in the subway.C. She had done a lot of work.D. She had donated blood the night before.72．Why did Jennifer try to stop her boyfriend?A. Because they would miss their train.B. Because he didn?t see the train coming.C. Because she was sure Lisa was hard to lift.D. Because she was afraid the train would kill him.73．How did Frank save Lisa?A. By lifting her to the platform.B. By helping her rise to her feet.C. By pulling her along the ground.D. By dragging her away from the edge.74．When did Lisa become conscious again?A. When the train was leaving.B. After she was back on the platform.C. After the police and fire officials came.D. When a man was cleaning the blood from her head.75. The passage is intended to________.A. warn us of the danger in the subwayB. show us how to save people in the subwayC. tell us about a subway rescueD. report a traffic accidentPassage 4“In only six days I lost seven pounds of weight.”“Two full inches in the first three days ！”These are the kinds of statements used in magazine, newspaper，radio and television ads,promising new shapes and new looks to those who buy the medicine or the device. The promoters of such products say they can shape the legs, slim the face, smooth wrinkles，or in some other way add to beauty or desirability.Often such products are nothing more than money-making things for their promoters. The results they produce arequestionable, and some are dangerous to health.To understand how these products can be legally promoted to the public，it is necessary to understand something of the laws covering their regulation. If the product is a drug, FDA ( Food and Drug Administration) can require proof(证明) under the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act that it is safe and effective before it is put on the market. But if the product is adevice，FDA has no authority to require pre-marketing proof of safety or effectiveness. If a product already on the market is a danger to health, FDA can request the producer or distributor to remove it from the market voluntarily, or it can take legal action, including seizure (查封) of the product.One notable case a few years ago involved an electrical device called the Relaxacisor, which had been sold for reducing the waistline. The Relaxacisor produced electrical shocks to the body through contact pads. FDA took legal action against the distributor to stop the sale of the devices on the grounds that it was dangerous to health and life.Obviously, most of the devices on the market have never been the subject of court proceedings(法律诉讼), and new devices appear continually. Before buying, it is up to judge the consumer to judge the safety or effectiveness of such items.76. It can be inferred that the ads mentioned in the text are________.A. objectiveB. costlyC. unreliableD. illegal77. Which of the following is true according to the text?A．The court is in charge of removing dangerous products.B. New products are more likely to be questionable.C. The production of a device must be approved by FDA.D. The promoters usually just care about profits.78. FDA can ask for the proof of safety and effectiveness of a product________.A. if it is a drugB. if it is a deviceC. if its consumers make complaintsD. if its distributors challenge FDA?s authority79. The Relaxacisor is mentioned as________.A. a product which was designed to produce electricityB. a product whose distributor was involved in a legal caseC. a successful advertisement of a beauty productD. an example of a quality beauty product80. The author intends to ________.A. make consumers aware of the promoters? false promisesB. show the weakness of the law on product safetyC. give advice on how to keep young and beautifulD. introduce the organization of FDAPart IV Translation (2×10)英译汉81．A person who knows a local sports hero personally, or who attends events where famous athletes are present, is considered by some people to have accomplished something worthwhile.82．Expressions from sports are extraordinarily common in everyday American speech.83．Pubic schools are free to all boys and girls, but some parents prefer to send their children to private schools.84．I am glad to see that the changes of another year have permitted you to move in health through this beautiful world. 85．The good news is that some of the fastest growing service jobs are the better paying ones，particularly in the technical and professional fields.汉译英86.他刚刚吃完⼀顿⼤餐，撑得⼏乎⽆法呼吸。

Each passage is followed by some questions or incomplete statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet .Passage 1Having finished her homework, Ma Li wants some music for relaxation①. As usual, she starts her computer and goes to to download music files. But this time she is surprised when an announcement about protecting songs’ copyright bursts onto the screen. The age of free music and movie downloads may have come to an end as Web companies like Baidu are accused of pirating copyright. Lawsuits have been filed against four websites offering free downloads. In September 2005, a Beijing court ordered Baidu to pay recording company Shanghai Push compensation for their losses. Baidu was also told to block the links to the pirated music on the website. This caused a heated discussion on Interact file sharing.“Baidu’s defeat in the lawsuit shows it is not right to get copyrighted songs without paying. Downloaders may face lawsuits or fines,” said an official.Like many teens, Huang Ruoru, an 18-year-old girl from Puning in Guangdong Province, doesn’t think that getting music from websites is wrong. She always shares her favourite songs downloaded from Baidu with her friends. When told about the lawsuit, she began to feel a little guilty about obta ining others’ work without paying.However, other teenagers have different ideas. Wang Yafei, a Senior 2 girl from Jinan, Shandong Province pointed out that file sharing is a good way to promote pop singers. “If I download a song and really like it, I will buy the CD,” she said. “So what the recording companies really should concentrate on is improving their music, rather than pursuing file-sharers.”61. Which of the following best describes the passage?A. Music on the Internet is of better quality.B. Downloading material can be illegal.C. It’s good to get free music on the Internet.D. Baidu is a popular web company.62. The four web companies were put to court because _________.A. they got copyrighted songs without payingB. they downloaded copyrighted music for peopleC. they make copyrighted files for free downloadsD. they offer free music on line63. How do some of the teenagers feel while downloading free music after the lawsuit?A. A bit guilty.B. A little sad.C. Extremely angry.D. Awfully sorry.64. What’s the advantage of tile sharing for recording companies?A. Getting more money from web companies.B. Enabling people to download favorite songs.C. Helping to improve the music.D. Making pop singers more popular.65. It can be inferred from the text that _________.A. Web companies are still ignoring the copyright laws.B. Teenagers haven’t got money to buy CDs.C. Teenagers are probably still downloading free music.D. Teenagers prefer CDs with copyright to pirated music.Passage 2Internet dating has become one of the biggest and most successful business ventures on theInternet．Basically, Internet dating is a way to meet people for either friendship or dating without actually having to meet them in person first．The first thing to do it you decide to try Internet dating is to build your profile （简介）which can include your hobbies, hopes for the future, and so on．A photograph is optional, but many sites claim that a photograph increases the number of people who look at your profile．Many Internet dating sites will charge a one-lime registration fee to use their services.Internet dating makes it possible to meet people from all over the world．You can even narrow the search down to your area by zip code．Another advantage is that you can communicate by e-mail before you meet in person．Thousands of people have met, fallen in love, and married through Internet dating．It is an excellent way for shy people to meet．It is also a way for people with busy lives to connect with others, and an easy way to meet people who share your interests．Just as in traditional dating and love, there are some pitfalls to be aware of in Internet dating．The person you have been talking to on the Net may not be who they say they are, Be very aware that there are some people who misrepresent their appearance or private details, such as marital status, income, and so on, for their own reasons．It would not be the first time that someone has been taken in, and talk shows are full of cheating partners who have been caught dating over the Internet in their spare time．Nevertheless, taking a few simple precautions should help ensure that your Internet dating experience is fun．66．The purpose of writing the passage is to _____．A．persuade readers to go dating on the Internet B．inform us how to date on the Internet C．warn readers against web love D．introduce Internet dating to us 67．Which of the following is a must to make an Internet dating possible?A．A photo．B．A profile．C．Money．D．Business experience．68．One advantage of Internet dating is that _____．A．you can avoid a face-to-face meeting in the beginningB．you're sure to find a partner with the same interestsC．you'll find absolutely dependable information of othersD．you'll gain fame and money overnight69．What is probably talked about following the last paragraph?A．Traditional dating．B．Hidden advantages C．Safety measures．D．Romantic love．70．The underlined word "pitfalls" in Paragraph 4 most probably means ______ A．rules B．trends C．problems D．skillsPassage 3The drug store was closing for the night and Alfred Higgins was about to go home when his new boss approached him.“Empty your pockets please, Alfred,” Sam Carr demanded in a firm voice.Alfred pretended to be shocked but he knew he’d been caught. From his coat he withdrew a make-up kit, a lipstick and two tubes of toothpaste.“I’m disappointed in you, Alfred!” said the little gray-haired man.“Sorry, sir. Please forgive me. It’s the first time I’ve ever done such a thing,” Alfred li ed, hoping to gain the old man’s sympathy.Mr Carr’s brow furrowed as he reached for the phone, “Do you take me for a fool? Let’s see what the police have to say. But first I’ll call your mother and let her know her son is heading to jail.”“Do whatever you want,” Alfred shot back, trying to sound big. But deep down he felt like a child. He imagined his mother rushing in, eyes burning with anger, maybe in tears. Yet he wanted her to come quickly before Mr. Carr called the police.Mr. Carr was surprised when Mrs Higgins finally arrived. She was very calm, quiet and friendly. “Is Alfred in trouble?” she asked.“He’s been stealing from the store,” the old man coolly replied.Mrs. Higgins put out her hand and touched Mr. Carr’s arm with great gentleness as if she knew just how he felt. She spoke as if she did not want to cause him any more trouble. “What do you want to do, Mr. Carr?”The woman’s calm and gentle manner disarmed the once-angry store-owner. “I was going to get a cop. But I don’t want to be cruel. Tell your son not to come back here again, and I’ll let it go.” Then he warmly shook Mrs. Higgins’s hand.Mrs. Higgins thanked the old man for his kindness, then mother and son left. They walked along the street in silence. When they arrived home his mothe r simply said, “Go to bed, you fool.”In his bedroom, Alfred heard his mother in the kitchen. He felt no shame, only pride in his mother’s actions. “She was smooth!” he thought. He went to the kitchen to tell her how great she was, but was shocked by what he saw.His mother’s face looked frightened, broken. Not the cool, bright face he saw earlier. Her lips moved nervously.

The richest Americans, however, get most of their money from what they own — their stocks, bonds, real estate, and other forms of property, or wealth. Although there are few accurate statistics to go by, wealth in American society appears to be concentrated in very few hands. More than 20 percent of everything that can be privately owned is held by less than onepercent of the adult population and more than 75 percent of all wealth is owned by 20 percent of American adults. The plain fact is that most Americans have no wealth at all aside from their homes, automobiles, and a small amount of savings.Income in the United States is not as highly concentrated as wealth. In 1917 the richest 10 percent of American families received 26.1 percent of all income, while the poorest 10 percent received 17 percent, mainly from Social Security and other government payments. The most striking aspect of income distribution is that it has not changed significantly since the end of World War II. Although economic growth has roughly doubled real disposable (可自由使用的) family income (the money left after taxes and adjusted for inflation) over the last generation, the size of the shares given to the rich and the poor is about the same. By any measure economic inequality is great in the United States.The reality behind these statistics is that a large number of Americans are poor. In 1918, 14 percent of the population was living below the federal government’s poverty line, which at that time was an annual income of $ 9 287 for a nonfarm family of two adults and two children. In other words, about one out of seven Americans over 31 million people was officially considered unable to buy the basic necessities of food, clothes, and shelter. The suggested poverty line in 1981 would have been an income of about $11, 200 for a family of four. By this relative definition, about 20 percent of the population or more than 45 million Americans are poor.76．What does the majority of the Americans have in terms of wealth?A．Their income and savings. B．Their house, cars and small amounts of savings.C．Everything they own in their homes. D．Actually, they have no wealth at all. 77．What is the percentage of wealth that is in the hands of most Americans?A．Less than 25%. B．More than 25%. C．More than 75%. D．Less than 20%. 78．Why is economic inequality still great in the US in spite of the economic growth?A．Because the economic growth has widened the gap of the family income between the rich and the poor.B．Because income in the US is still concentrated in the hands of the richest 10% of American families.C．Because the proportion of income received by the rich and the poor remains almost the same as in 1917.D．Because some Americans made great fortunes during the Second World War.79．What can we learn from comparison of the two poverty lines in the last paragraph?A. The poverty line of 1918 is more favorable to the poor than that of 1981.B. The 1981 line didn’t leave much to the poor.C. There were more Americans who were officially poor by the 1918 line.D. There were more Americans who were officially poor by the 1981 line.80．From the last two sentences we can see that 1981 government’s poverty line _______.A．was of no good for the poor B．was officially approvedC．was not helpful to the poor D．was not put into operation thenPart IV Translation (2×10)汉译英81、我建议你做功课先复习一下课文,这样你可以避免犯许多错误。

letter on the ANSWER SHEET.Passage OneGoogle,the Internet search-engine company,has announced that it will give more than twenty-five million dollars in money and investments to help the poor.The company says the effort involves using the power of information andtechnology to help people improve their lives.Aleem Walji works for --the part of the company that gives money to good causes.He said the company’s first project will help identify where infectious(传染性的)diseases are developing.In Southeast Asia and Africa,for example, will work with partners to strengthen early-warning systems and take action against growing health threats.’s second project will invest in ways to help small and medium-sized businesses grow.Walji says wants to develop ways to bring investors and business owners together to help small and medium-sized businesses create jobs and improve economic growth. will also give money to help two climate-change programs announced earlier this year.One of these programs studies ways to make renewable(再生的)energy less costly than coal-based energy.The other is examining the efforts being made to increase the use of electric cars.The creators of Google have promised to give about one percent of company profits and one percent of its total stock value every year.Aleem Walji says this amount may increase in the future.31.The purpose of Google’s investments is

decide by early next year on whether to call a new referendum(公民投票)on the euro.Denmark voted no in 2000.British Labor party member Chris Bryant,who is chairman of the Labor Movement for Europe,says that more than half of Britain’s trade is with Europe,and he hopes Britain will be joining the euro as soon as possible.British Prime Minister Tony Blair had said previously his government is committed in principle to joining the euro,provided that economic conditions are right.In Sweden,meanwhile,euro opponents have hailed the defeat of the single currency.The leader of the Left Party, Ulla Hoffman said the people have made it clear democracy comes from the bottom,not from above.The Left Party, along with the environmentalist Greens,fought against the euro.But Prime Minister Goran Persson,who led the movement for the euro,said Sweden would have worse opportunities without the common currency in the long term.Euro supporters say that it would have improved trade with the12-nation zone that uses the euro,and that a no vote would leave Sweden without a voice in EU economic decisions Critics said the euro would mean higher prices and less money for Sweden’s cradle-to-grave welfare system.36.Among the following persons,who is a euro opponent according to the passage?.A.Ulla HoffmanB.Tony BlairC.Chris BryantD.Goran Persson37.What does a yes vote of common

aboutB.feel uncomfortable forC.cheer forD.analyze40.What is the author’s tone in the passage?.A.ObjectiveB.IronicC.IndifferentD.DisapprovingPassage ThreeHuman cloning technology could be used to reverse heart attacks.Scientists believe that they may be able to treat heart attack victims by cloning their healthy heart cells and injecting them into the areas of the heart been damaged,and other problems may be solved if human cloning and its technology are not forbidden.With cloning,infertile couples could have children.Current treatments for infertility,in terms of percentages,are not very successful.Couples go through physically and emotionally painful procedures for a small chance of having children.Many couples run out of time and money without successfully having children.Human cloning could make it possible for many more infertile couples to have children than ever before.We should be able to clone the bone marrow for children and adults suffering from leukemia(白血病).This is expected to be one of the first benefits to come from cloning technology.We may learn how to switch cells on and off through cloning and thus be able to cure cancer.Cloning technology can be used to test and perhaps cure gene-related diseases.The above is just a few examples of what human cloning technology can do for mankind.This new technology promises unprecedented advancement in medicine if people will release their fears and let the benefits begin.41.Heart attacks can be treated with human cloning technology by.A.removing the each other for longB.repairing the heart with cells cloned from healthy onesC.replacing the old heart with a cloned oneD.giving the patients injections of various medicines42.The word“infertile”,in paragraph2,most probably means.A.separated from each other

development of human cloning technology is that.A.people are afraid of such technologyB.it has brought about few benefits so farC.people still know little about itD.its benefits are very limitedPassage FourYour boss holds your future prospects in his hands.Some bosses are hard to get along with.Some have excellent qualifications but no idea when it comes to dealing with people.Of course,not all bosses are like that.The relationship you have with your boss can be a major factor in determining your rise up the career ladder.Your boss is not only your leader,he is also the person best equipped to help you do the job you are paid to do.He can inform you of company direction that may affect your professional development.Your boss also needs you to perform at your best in order to accomplish his objectives.He needs your feedback in order to provide realistic and useful reports to upper management.But how does this help you establish a meaningful working relationship with your boss?The key is communication.Learn and understand his goals priorities.Observe and understand your boss’s work style.If he has not been clear with his expectations,ask!Likewise,ask for feedback

fits into the passage and mark the corresponding letter on the ANSWER SHEET.For many people today,reading is no longer relaxation.To keep up with their work,they must read letters,reports, trade publications,interoffice communications,not to mention newspapers and magazines:a never-ending flood of words.In51a job or advancing in one,the ability to read and comprehend52can mean the difference between success and failure.Yet the unfortunate fact is that most of us are53readers.Most of us develop poor reading54at an early age, and never get over them.The main deficiency55in the actual stuff of language itself-words.Taken individually,wordshave56meaning until they are strung together into phrases,sentences and paragraphs.57,however,the untrained reader does not read groups of words.He laboriously reads one word at a time,often regressing to58words or passages. Regression,the tendency to look back over59you have just read,is a common bad habit in reading.Another habit which60down the speed of reading is vocalization(发声)-sounding each word either orally or mentally as61reads.To overcome these bad habits,some reading clinics use a device called an62,which moves a bar(or curtain)down the page at a predetermined speed.The bar is set at a slightly faster rate63the reader finds comfortable,in order to “stretch”him.The accelerator forces the reader to read fast,64word-by-word reading,regression and subvocalization, practically impossible.At fist65is sacrificed for speed.But when you learn to read ideas and concepts,you will not only read faster,66your comprehension will improve.Many people have found67reading skill drastically improved after some training.68Chalice Au,a business manager,for instance,his reading rate was a reasonably good172words a minute69the training,now it is an excellent1,378words a minute.He is delighted that how he can70a lot more reading material in a short period of time.51.A.getting B.doing C.offering D.applying52.A.easily B.quickly C.roughly D.decidedly53.A.good B.poor C.urgent D.curious54.A.training B.habits C.situations D.custom55.A.lies B.involves C.touches bines56.A.some B.dull C.little D.a lot57.A.Fortunately B.Unfortunately C.Logically D.In fact58.A.reuse B.reread C.recite D.rewrite59.A.if B.that C.what D.which60.A.cuts B.scales C.slows D.measures61.A.he B.one C.reader D.some one62.A.actor B.observer C.amplifier D.accelerator63.A.then B.as C.than D.beyond64.A.making B.leading C.enabling D.indicatingprehension B.meaning C.regression D.gist66.A.for B.nor C.but D.or67.A.our B.your C.their D.such a68.A.Take B.Consider C.Make D.Look at69.A.for B.before C.after D.in70.A.master B.present C.go over D.get throughPart IV Error Correction(2×10)Directions:There are10sentences.Each of the following sentences has four underlined parts marked A,B,C and D.You are required to identify the one that is incorrect,and then write the corresponding letter and the correct answer on the ANSWER SHEET.71.Don’t play(A)tricks in(B)others;otherwise(C)you will answer for(D)it.72.We are decided(A)to meet at(B)the station at(C)four this(D)afternoon.73.What he had said(A)about(B)the incident and done with(C)it added up(D)to our trouble.74.Go back(A)home now,Mary.Your parents(B)are concerned(C)in(D)your safety.75.These(A)retired workers have(B)visited several big(C)cities this year,for example(D),New York,Chicago and Boston.76.The mother as well as(A)her children are(B)going to(C)do some shopping(D)tomorrow morning.77.I was so amazing(A)at(B)the news that(C)i could not say a word(D)at the moment.78.A few(A)flowers were(B)still remained on(C)the trees at this time of(D)year.79.They went across(A)the forest successfully(B)and reached(C)their destination ahead of(D)time.80.The(A)two young people make an(B)appointment to meet(C)again in(D)next autumn.Part V Translation(20points)Directions:Translate the following sentences into Chinese and write your answers on the ANSWER SHEET.(5×2)81.The whole situation starts to become more favorable.You begin to see that even though the distinction of the culture is different from your own,it has elements that you can learn to appreciate.82.While clothing serves a purely practical function,how you dress also communicates many things about your social status,state of mind and even your dreams.What you communicate through your kind of dress definitely influence others.Directions:Translate following sentences into English and write your answers on the ANSWER SHEET.(2x5)83.不但老师还有学生也知道地球是圆的。

As a psychologist for more than twenty years I can tell you that I have never had an adult looking back at her childhood and complaining that her parents were too understanding. And similarly, I have met many divorced people who still love each other but yet they never really understood each other.The painful reality is that love is just not enough. I'll admit that there are people who I love and who I still need to better understand. I hope I'll continue my work to understand them. The willingness to understand is very important. It is not always easy, but healthy love is strengthened by the willingness to understand. Love without understanding will wilt like flowers without water.Our egos are what seem to get in the way of understanding those who we love and care about. Often it is our need to be right that makes what others think and feel so wrong for us.I have certainly been quite guilty of this in some of my relationships.As I have written repeatedly in my books, empathy, is truly the emotional glue that holds all close relationships together. Empathy allows us to slow down and try to walk in the shoes of those we love. The deeper our empathy, the deeper—and healthier—our love. Not all relationships are meant to be. Yet all relationships that are meant to flourish in a healthy way, must stress understanding just as much, if not more, as love.61. From the passage we know that .A、the author complains about her parents' being too understandingB、the author has been studying marriages for more than 20 yearsC、people divorced mainly because they didn't love each otherD、some people divorced because they couldn't understand each other62. Why are we unable to understand the others sometimes?A、Because we care about the others too much.B、Because it is quite difficult to understand the others.C、Because we believe we are always right.D、Because the others have done something wrong.63. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A、Understanding is more important to parenting relationship than to other intimate relationships.B、Understanding is less important than love as far as marriage is concerned.C、Understanding is more important than love to some degree.D、Understanding is more often neglected in parenting relationship.64. If we are to understand our partners, we should firstly .A、have willingness to do soB、have love for themC、get into connection with themD、care about them65. In this passage, the expression “walk in the shoes of” is similar in meaning to .A、befriendB、understandC、loveD、care aboutPassage TwoFinally, the Christmas season is over. We can take a long breath, put up our feet, sip from a cup of good tea and relax. The frenzy, starting from Black Friday right after Thanksgiving until Christmas Ev e, of gift shopping, buying, wrapping, giving, receiving, opening, returning…is exhaustive and time-consuming, but it takes place every year.There is considerable difference between the cultures in China and western countries when it comes to gift giving. In China, it is not polite to open a gift in front of the gift giver, and the gift is only looked at after the guest has left. Here in America, gift givers always wrap their gifts, large or small, priceless or valueless, carefully decorate them with colorful ribbons and little pretty paper flowers; and the lucky receiver is expected to open the gift right away in front of the giver, with great eagerness and curiosity, and should always express appreciation with the all time truthful comment, “This is just exactly what I wanted!” Well, as a matter of fact, most people would take their “always wanted” gifts back to the store to exchange forsomething they really wanted.Finding a gift for somebody, even a close family member, you'll have to know what the person likes and shop for days before you can locate the perfect gift. But, still the person may not like the gift from you. Nowadays, stores would provide two copies of the receipts for anything they sell as a gift, one of which is included in the gift package so that the receiver can come back for an exchange. I know, it was unthinkable to cash out the gift you get, but, times are different. Another good way to avoid all that shopping hassle is to purchase a gift card from one of the stores and send it to your niece, nephews, or a family member, so that they can get whatever they want or even keep the money.66. Finding a gift for somebody is a(n) .A、easy jobB、tough taskC、must-be jobD、arranged task67. It is quite for Chinese people to open the gift in front of the givers.A、usualB、normalC、abnormalD、unusual68. Gift giving is the same thing in China and America in that .A、people spend a lot of time preparing a giftB、people would cash out the gift immediatelyC、people are eager to get a gift from a friendD、people are less willing to give gifts69. Which of the following is the author's suggestion?A、Open the gift immediately in front of the giver.B、Wrap the gift carefully.C、Express the appreciation for the gift you receive.D、Buying a present card to avoid the trouble in shopping70. The author's attitude towards gift giving is .A、indifferentB、protestingC、objectiveD、supportivePassage ThreeThey already guide blind and disabled people; now dogs are to be trained to help people with dementia(痴呆). The duties of these “guide dogs for the mind” will include reminding their owners to take medication, as well as encouraging them to eat, drink and sleep at regular intervals.The dementia dogs will be trained to respond to sound triggers in the home that prompt them to perform tasks. These could include delivering a bite-proof bag of medicine with a note inside reminding the patient to take it, or waking them up in the morning.The idea was developed by design students at the Glasgow School of Art and will now be put into practice by Alzheimer's Scotland and Dogs for the disabled.Joyce Gray of Alzheimer's Scotland said, “People in the early stages of dementia are still able to live a relatively nor mal life, and dogs help to maintain routine.”The other advantage of using the pets as companions is that conversation can be increasingly confusing for people with Alzheimer's, but dogs can give them a sense of silent support and companionship. People light up when they see animals. They don't need to communicate verbally but they can still interact. You can have a speechless bond.The dog would also encourage the owner to take them out for walks, ensuring they keep exercising and interacting with other people.71. As is mentioned in the passage, the guide dogs will do the following except for .A、helping ensure the owner doing some exercisesB、reminding the owner to take medicineC、communicating with the owner in a non-verbal wayD、helping the owner recover from the illness72. Who will train the dogs to perform such tasks?A、The students who developed the idea.B、The owners of the dogs.C、The experts in Alzheimer's Scotland.D、It is not mentioned in the passage.73. What is true about the people suffering from dementia?A、They would like to stay with other people.B、They can maintain routine.C、They will gradually lose the ability to live a normal life.D、They would like to talk in a different way.74. The guide dogs helping the people with dementia will .A、respond to the owners' orderB、respond to a sound deviceC、act on the owners' instructionsD、act on the trainers' order75. Having a conversation with people with dementia will be .A、difficultB、interestingC、confusingD、encouragingPassage FourIt seems obvious that you don't give away your product for free but this is exactly what indie rock group The Crimea did earlier this year. The band's reasoning goes like this: more people will download the free album than would pay for it. Therefore more people will hear The Crimea's music. These people will then pay money for concerts by the band and perhaps buy a T-shirt or other merchandise. If the band play regular concerts to crowds of 200 or 300 people they can make more money than they would from sales of a CD. There will always be some people who want something they can hold in their hands so they will release the CD into the shops too—but making money through sales of their music isn't the top priority. The story illustrates the creative thinking going on in the music business in response to dramatic changes over the last few years in the way that people buy music. Sales of musicdigitally—to computer, phones and MP3 players rose to＄2 billion in 2006—an increase of almost 100 percent on the previous year—yet overall record company sales are down. People are simply not buying CDs in record shops in anything like the numbers they used to.This trend looks set to continue, so the big question for the music industry is whether they can successfully manage the move to being primarily a digital industry without profits falling to unacceptable levels.There are both positive and negative signs. On the plus side, more and more people are buying music on mobile phones, which allows people to make impulse purchases—they can buy a song as soon as they hear it. Research by the UK mobile operator 3 suggested that 75 percent of 16 to 24-year-olds wanted to buy a track they liked as soon as they heard it. With so much competition for people's disposable income, a product that you can sell immediately is a big advantage.The bad news for record companies, however, is the amount of music that is downloaded illegally. Piracy—usually in the form of cheaply copied CD—has long been an issue for the music business but the Internet means music can be copied and distributed freely through file-sharing sites on a larger scale than ever before.It is this situation that leads bands to start giving away their music for free and promises to make the next few years a very interesting time in the music business.76. What is unusual about the Crimea's business plan?A、Their business was given away free on the Internet.B、They gave CDs away free in shops.C、They played free concerts.D、They charged more for their CDs.77. The Crimea hope to make money .A、through CD salesB、by giving concerts and selling T-shirts and other merchandiseC、by selling merchandise on the InternetD、through sales of merchandise in shops78. The Crimea also released CDs for sale in shops because .A、people who attend their concerts need themB、they want to make extra moneyC、there are still people who prefer CDs to other formatsD、people who fail to attend their concerts need them79. What is true about sales of music over the last year?A、Overall, sales are up last year.B、Overall, sales are down last year.C、There is no change compared to previous sales.D、It is not mentioned in the passage.80. What effect has the Internet had on music piracy?A、It has made it easier to fight piracy.B、It has increased the number of pirate CDs available.C、It has made it easier to illegally copy music.D、It has reduced the number of pirate CDs available.四、翻译题（每小题2分，共20分）81. 她喜欢看书时听音乐。

the go．walking along the street．or busily working at his desk So what d0 you expect him to say?He’11 probably say．“Fine．I’m all right．”But “you’ve put a bug in his ear”一maybe now he’s not sure If you are a good friend，you may have seen something in his face，or his walk．that he did not realize that morning It starts him worrying a little．First thing you know．he looks in a mirror to see if everything is aⅡfight，while you go merrily on your way asking someone else．‘‘How do you feel?”Every question has its time and place It’s perfectly acceptable，for instance，to ask ‘‘How do you feel?’’if you’re visiting a close f riend in the hospital But if the fellow is walking on both legs，hurrying to make a train，or sitting at his desk working，it’s no time to ask him that silly question．When George Bernard Shaw，the famous writer of plays was in his eighties，someone asked him“How do you feel”，Shaw put him in his place．‘‘When you reach my age”，he said．“either you feel all right or you’re dead”61．According to the writer，greetings，such as“How do you feel?” ___A．show one’s consideration for others B．are a good way to make friendsC are proper to ask a man in action D．generally make one feel uneasy62．The question“How do you feel?”seems to be correct and suitable when asked ofA．a man working at his desk B．a person having lost a close friendC．a stranger who looks somewhat worried D．a friend who is ill63．The writer seems to feel that a busy man should ____A be praised for his effortsB never be asked any question C．not be bothered D be discouraged from working so hard64．George Bernard Shaw’s reply in the passage shows his ______A．cheerfulness B．cleverness C．ability D．politeness65‘‘You’ve put a bug in his ear’’means that you’veA．made him laugh B．shown concern for him C made fun of him D．given him some kind of warningPassage 2Acting is such an over-crowded profession that the only advice that should be given to a young person thinking of going on the stage is“Don’t!”．But it is useless to try to discourage someone who feels that he must act，although the chances of his becoming famous are slim．The normal way to begin is to go to a drama school．Usually only students who show promise and talent are accepted，and the course lasts two years．Then the young actor or actress takes up work with a theatrical company(剧团)，usually as an assistant stage manager This means doing everything that there is to do in the theatre and occasionally acting in very small parts It is very hard work indeed，the hours are long and the salary is tiny．Of course，some people have remarkable chances which lead to fame and Success without this long and hard training．Connie Pratt，for example，was just an ordinary girl working in a bicycle factory．A film producer happened to catch sight of her one morning waiting at a bus stop，as he drove past in his car．He stopped and got out to speak to the girl．He asked if she would like to go to the film studio to do a test，and she thought he was joking Then she got angry and said she would call the police It took the producer twenty minutes to convince Connie that he was seriousThe test was successful．And within a few weeks she was playing the leading part opposite one of the most famous actors of the day But chances like this happen once in a blue moon66 From the very beginning，the author puts it clearly that acting is a profession _____A sought after by too many B．too difficult for young peopleC．for slim people only D．one can go into without special training67．For someone who feels he must act，it is very likely that _____A．he will become a film star at long last B he will become a stage managerC he will be well paid D．he will end up without any Success 68．The film producer found Connie Pratt one morning when she was ____A．at work in a bicycle factory B．driving past him in her carC．going to a film studio D．waiting for a bus69．A few weeks after the test．Connie Pratt found herself ______A the most famous actress of the world B．playing the leading female role in a play C．as famous as the greatest actor of the world D．no less famous than the leading actor of the day70 The concluding sentence “chances like this happen once in a blue moon” meansA this is something which happens once in a while B．this is a highly profitable chance C．this is something highly possible D this is a very rare chancePassage 3Soldiers and other military people wear uniforms with various other symbols to indicate their status．But in the business world everyone wears more or less similar suits，and you cannot tell at a glance who ranks higher or lower than another．So how do people in the business world show their superiority?An attempt to study this was made by two researchers using a series of silent films．They had two actors play the parts of an executive(经理)and a visitor，and switch roles each time．The scene had one man at his desk playing the part of an executive，while the other，playing the part of a visitor，knocks at the door，opens it and approaches the desk to discuss some business matter．The audience watching the films was asked to rate the executive and the visitor in terms of status．A certain set of rules about status began to emerge from the ratings．The visitor showed the least amount of status when he stopped just inside the door to talk across the room to the seated man．He was considered to have more status when he walked halfway up to the desk，and he had the most status when he walked directly up to the desk and stood right in front Of the seated executive．Another thing that affected the status of the visitor in the eyes of the observers was the time between knocking and entering．For the seated executive，his status was also affected by the time between hearing the knock and answering．The quicker the visitor entered the room，the more status he had．The longer the executive took to answer，the more status he had．71．The experiment designed by the two researchers aimed at finding out _____A．how business is conducted by all executive and a visitor B how to tell the differences between an executive and a visitorC．how to tell businessmen at a glance D．how businessmen indicate status72 Which of the statements can best sum up the passage?A．The executive has a higher status than the visitor．B．Military people wearuniforms but the businessmen do notC，A study revealing a set of rules about the status of businessmen．D It is a good method to use a series of silent film in research．73 Having entered the room，the closer the visitor approaches the executive, ___A．the less it affected his status B．the lower his status C．the more it affected his status D．the higher his status74．The longer the seated man was in answering the knock，______A．the higher his status B．the less it affected his status C．the lower his status D the more it affected his status75．Which statement is NOT true?A Soldiers wear uniforms with various symbols so that one call tell their status at a glance．B．In the experiment．one actor played the executive while the other played the seated man C．Business people wear similar suits．D The audience watching the film rated the executive and the visitor in terms of status．Passage 4Are all your photographs good？Be honest with yourself. Aren’t some of your pictures too dark, and others too light？How many times have you thrown away a photo？We, the Fine Photograph Club, can help you. We meet every Wednesday in our comfortable club room in Bridge Street. At 7:30 p.m. a member of the club or a visitor would give a talk, and then we have coffee. Our members will advise you on all the latest cameras and films. They will help you to develop your films or enlarge your pictures. What does it all cost？Only 5 pounds a year.Photography is now a big business. Do you know, for instance, that there are 15 million cameras in our country？And that 700 million photographs are taken a year, more than one-third of them in color？Think of the amount of photography in television, the cinema, newspapers, books, advertisements and so on. In modern life people learn a lot from pictures, so photography is more and more important. It is also more complicated and more expensive than it used to be. You may only want to take good photographs of faces and places. If so, we can help you to get better results. You needn’t waste any more money. If you want to learn more about photography and how it is used, join the club please. You won’t be disappointed. Write now to the Secretary, Fine Photograph Club. Bridge Street.76.

As a psychologist for more than twenty years I can tell you that I have never had an adult looking back at her childhood and complaining that her parents were too understanding. And similarly, I have met many divorced people who still love each other but yet they never really understood each other.The painful reality is love is just not enough. I’ll admit that there are people who I love and who I still need to better understand. I hope I will continue my work to understand them. The willingness to understand is very important. It is not always easy,but healthy love is strengthened by the willingness to understand. Love without understanding will wilt like flowers without water.Our egos are what seem to get in the way of understanding those who we love and care about. Often it is our need to be right that makes what others think and feel so wrong for us. I have certainly been quite guilty of this in some of my relationships.As I have written repeatedly in my books, empathy , is truly the emotional glue that holds all close relationships together. Empathy allows us to slow down and try to walk in the shoes of those we love. The deeper our empathy, the deeper---the healthier---our love. Not all relationships are meant to be. Yet all relationships that are meant to flourish in a healthy way, must stress understanding just as much, if not more, than love.61.From the passage, we know that _____.A.the author complains about her parents’ being too understandingB.the author has been studying marriage for more than20 yearsC.People divorced mainly because they didn’t love each otherD.Some people divorced because they couldn’t understand each other62.Why are we unable to understand the others sometimes?A.Because we are caring the others too much.B. Because it is quite difficult to understand the others.C. Because we believe we are always rightD.Because the others have done something wrong63.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A.Understanding is more important to parenting relationships than to other intimate relationships.B.Understanding is less important than love as far as marriage is concerned.C.Understanding is more important than love to some degree.D.Understanding is more often neglected in parenting relationship.64.If we are to understand our parents, we should firstly _____.A.have willingness to do soB.have love for themC.get into connection with themD.care about them65.In this passage, the expression “walk in the shoes of” is similar in meaning to ____.A.befriendB.understandC.loveD.care aboutPassage TwoFinally, the Christmas season is over. We can take a long breath, put up our feet, sip from a cup of good tea and relax. The frenzy, starting from Black Friday right after Thanksgiving until Christmas Eve, of gift shopping, buying, wrapping, giving, receiving, opening, returning...is exhaustive and time---consuming, but it takes place every year.There is considerable difference between the cultures in China and western countries when it comes to gift giving. In China, it is not polite to open a gift in front of the gift giver, and gift is only looked at after the guest has left. Here in America, gift givers always wrap their gifts, large or small, priceless or valueless, carefully and decorate them with colorful ribbons and little pretty paper flowers; and the lucky receiver is expected to open the gift right away in front of the giver, with great eagerness and curiosity, and should always express appreciation with the all time truthful comment,“this is just exactly what I wanted!” Well, as a matter of fact, most people would take their“always wanted” gifts back to the store to exchange for something they really wanted.Finding a gift for somebody, even a close family member, you will have to know what the person likes and shop for days before you can locate the perfect gift. But , still the person may not like the gift from you. Nowadays, stores would provide two copies of the receipts for anything they sell as a gift, one of which is included in the gift packaged so that the receiver can come back for an exchange. I know, it was unthinkable to cash out gift you get, but, times are different. Another good way to avoid all that shopping hassle is to purchase a gift card from one of the stores and send it to your niece, nephews, or a family member, so that they can get whatever they want or even keep the money.66.Finding a gift for somebody is a(n) _____.A.easy jobB.tough taskC.must-be jobD.arranged task67.It is quite _____ for Chinese people to open the gift in front of the givers.ualB.normalC.abnormalD.unusual68.Gift giving is the same thing in China and America in that _____.A.people spend a lot of time preparing a giftB.People would cash out the gift immediatelyC.People are eager to open to get a gift from a friendD.People are less willing to give gifts.69.Which of the following is the author’s suggestion?A.Open a gift immediately in front of the giver.B.Wrap the gift carefully.C.Express the appreciation for the gift you receive.D.Buying a present card to avoid the trouble in shopping70.The author’s attitude towards gift giving is_____.A.indifferentB.protestingC.objectiveD.supportivePassage ThreeThey already guide blind and disabled people ;now dogs are to be trained to help people with dementia(痴呆).The duti es of these “guide dogs for the mind” will include reminding their owners to take medication, as well as encouraging them to eat , drink and sleep at regular intervals.The dementia dogs will be trained to respond to sound triggers in the home that prompt them to perform tasks .These could include delivering a bite-proof bag ofmedicine with a note inside reminding the patient to take it , or waking them up in the morning.The idea was developed by design students at the Glasgow School of Art and will now be put into practice by Alzheimer’s Seotland and Dogs for the disabled. Joyee Gray of Alzheimer’s Scotland said:“People in the early stages of dementia are still able to live a relative normal life , and dogs help to maintain routine .”The other advantage of using the pets as companions is that conversation can be increasingly confusing for people with Alzheimer’s ,but dogs can give them a sense of silent support and companionship . People light up when they can see animals .They don’t need to communicate verbally but they can still interact . You can have a speechless bond .The dog would also encourage the owner to take them out for walks ,ensuring they keep exercising and interacting with other people .71.As is mentioned in the passage ,the guide dogs will do the following except for ____ .A.helping ensure the owner doing some exercisesB.reminding the owner to take medicinemunicating with the owner in a non-verbal wayD.helping the owner recover from the illness72.Who will train the dogs to perform such tasks?A.The students who developed the idea.B.The owners of the dogs.C.The experts in Alzheimer’s Scotland .D.It is not mentioned in the passage .73.What is true about the people suffering from dementia?A.They would like to stay with other people.B.They can maintain routine .C.They will gradually lose the ability to live a normal life .D.They would like to talk in a different way .74.The guide dogs helping the people with dementia will ___.A.respond to the owners orderB.respond to a sound deviceC.act on the owners instructionsD.act on the trainers order75.Having a conversation with people with dementia will be ___.A.difficultB.interestingC.confusing D .encouragingPassage Four It seems obvious that you don’t give away your product for free but this is exactly what indie rock group The Crimea did earlier this year. The band’s reasoning goes like this: more people will download the free album than would pay for it. Therefore, more people will hear The Crimea’s music. These people will then pay money for concerts by the band and perhaps buy a T-shirt or other merchandise. If the band play regular concerts to crowds of 200 or 300 people they can make more money than they would from sales of CD. There will always be some people who want something they can hold in their hands so they will release the CD into the shops too---but making money through sales of their music isn’t the top priority.The story illustrates the creative thinking going on in their music in response to dramatic changes over the last few years in the way that people buy music. Sales of music digitally ---to computer, phone and MP3 players rose to $2 billion in 2006---an increase of almost 100percent on the previous year---yet overall record company sales are down. People are simply not buying CDs in record shops in anything like the numbers they used to.This trend looks set to continue so the big questions for the music industry is whether they can successfully manage the move to being primarily a digital industry without profits falling to unacceptable levels.There are both positive and negative signs. On the plus side, more and more people are buying music by mobile phones, which allows people to make impulse purchases---they can buy a song as soon as they hear it. Research by the UK mobile operator 3 suggested that 75 percent of 16 to 24-year-olds wanted to buy a track they liked as soon as they heard it. With so much competition for people’s disposable inco me, a product you can sell immediately is a big advantage.The bad news for the record companies, however, is the amount of music that is downloaded illegally. Piracy---usually in the form of cheaply copied CD---has long been an issue for the music business but the internet means music can be copied and distributed freelythrough file-sharing sites on a large scale than ever before.It is this situation that leads bands to start giving away their music for free and promises to make the next few years a very interesting time in the music business.76.What is unusual about the Crimea’s business plan ?A.Their business was given away free on the Internet .B.They gave CDs away free in shops .C.They played free concerts.D.They charged more for their CDs.77.The Crimea hope to make money___.A.through CD salesB.by giving concerts and selling T-shirts and other merchandiseC.by selling merchandise on the InternetD.through sales of merchandise in shops78.The Crimea also released CDs for sale in shops because ___.A.people who attend their concerts need themB.they want to make extra moneyC.there are still people who prefer CDs to other formatsD.people who fail to attend their concerts need them79.What is true about sales of music over the last year?A.Overall,sales are up on last year.B.Overall,sales are down on last year.C.There is no change compared to previous salesD.It is not mentioned in the passage.80.What effect has internet had on music piracy?A.It is made it easier to fight piracyB.It has increased the number of pirate CDs available.C.It has made it easier to illegally copy music.D.It has reduced the number of pirate CDs available.Part IV TranslationSection A81.她喜欢看书时听音乐。

Pony---trekking, climbing and fishing are also _47 , al ong with Scoland’s national game, golf. 48 enthusiasts are well rewarded---this is the home of the red deer, red squirrel and golden eager.

The lake is over 200 meters 54 in places, and salmon, trout and eels are in abundance here.Over the border in England is the Lake District, 55 made famous by Romantic poets such as William Wordsworth two hundred years ago. People have been 56 here en mass since 1847 57 a railway was built to its biggest lake, Windermere. 58 in the past boats piled its waters 59 stone, timber and wood, today’s craft are more likely to carry 60 on pleasure cruises---over a million a year, in fact.41.A.to find B.to be found C.finding D.to have found42.A while B.As C.

As a psychologist for more than twenty years I can tell you that I have never had an adult looking back at her childhood and complaining that her parents were too understanding. And similarly, I have met many divorced people who still love each other but yet they never really understood each other.The painful reality is love is just not enough. I’ll admit that there are peopl e who I love and who I still need to better understand. I hope I will continue my work to understand them. The willingness to understand is very important. It is not always easy,but healthy love is strengthened by the willingness to understand. Love without understanding will wilt like flowers without water.Our egos are what seem to get in the way of understanding those who we love and care about. Often it is our need to be right that makes what others think and feel so wrong for us. I have certainly been quite guilty of this in some of my relationships.As I have written repeatedly in my books, empathy , is truly the emotional glue that holds all close relationships together. Empathy allows us to slow down and try to walk in the shoes of those we love. The deeper our empathy, the deeper---the healthier---our love. Not all relationships are meant to be. Yet all relationships that are meant to flourish in a healthy way, must stress understanding just as much, if not more, than love.61.From the passage, we know that .A.the author complains about her parents’ being too understandingB.the author has been studying marriage for more than 20 yearsC.People divorced mainly because they didn’t love each otherD.Some people divorced because they couldn’t understand each other62.Why are we unable to understand the others sometimes?A.Because we are caring the others too much.B.Because it is quite difficult to understand the others.C.Because we believe we are always rightD.Because the others have done something wrong63.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A.Understanding is more important to parenting relationships than to other intimate relationships.B.Understanding is less important than love as far as marriage is concerned.C.Understanding is more important than love to some degree.D.Understanding is more often neglected in parenting relationship.64.If we are to understand our parents, we should firstly .A.have willingness to do soB.have love for themC.get into connection with themD.care about them65.In this passage, the expression “walk in the shoes of” is similar in meaning to .A.befriendB.understandC.loveD.care aboutPassage TwoFinally, the Christmas season is over. We can take a long breath, put up our feet, sip from a cup of good tea and relax.

The overhead light outside my door was burned out and I had 41 finding the keyhole. When I 42 to open the door, I 43 around the wall for a light switch. I found a plate where a switch was 44 installed... but no switch!Not discouraged easily, I remembered 45 a lamp by the bed when I deposited my luggage 46 in the day. I found the bed in the 47 and then the lamp, but when I switched it on, nothing 48 ! I thought that perhaps if I opened the curtains I might be able to use whatever light comes in from the 49 to find another lamp. So I 50 my way slowly across the room to the curtains and... no drawstring! I finally stumbled （跌跌撞撞地走）around 51 I found a desk lamp which actually 52 !That evening I discovered in a whole new way just how dark the world 53 be and how necessary light is! But even more necessary than 54 light is the light that shines from people --the light of 55 and faith. Because, for many people, the world is a dark and 56 place. For someone today just may be stumbling in discouragement or sadness or fear and in 57 of some light. So let your light shine. Whatever light you 58 may be a beacon of hope and encouragement. And if you feel that your light is 59 a candle in a forest remember -- there isn’t enough darkness in all the world to 60 the light of one small candle.41.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet .Passage 1Bananas are one of the world’ s most important food crops. They are also one of the most valuable exports. Bananas do not grow from seeds. Instead, they grow from existing plants. Bananas are threatened by disease because all the plants on a farm are copies of each other. They all share the same genetic weaknesses. For example, the Cavendish banana is most popular in North American and European markets. However ，some kinds of fungus organisms easily infect the Cavendish. Black Sigatoka disease affects the leaves of Cavendish banana plants. The disease is controlled on large farms by putting chemicals on the plant’s leaves. Farmers put anti -fungal chemicals on their crops up to once a week.Another fungal disease is more serious. Panama disease attacks the roots of the banana plant. There is no chemical treatment for this disease. Infected plants must be destroyed. Panama disease has affected crops in Southeast Asia, Australia and South Africa. There is concern that it may spread to bananas grown in the Americas. This could threaten an important export product for Central and South America.The International Network for the Improvement of Banana and Plantain supports research on bananas. The group has headquarters in France and other offices in the major banana-growing areas of the world. The group says that more research must be done to develop improved kinds of bananas. The group says that fungal diseases mainly affect only one kind of banana. In fact, there are five hundred different kinds of bananas. Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations has said that the Cavendish banana represents only 10% of world production.The U.N. agency says farmers should grow different kinds of bananas. This protects against diseases that affect only one kind. Experts warn that disease may cause the Cavendish banana to disappear. This happened earlier to another popular banana because of its genetic weakness against disease.61．What does this passage mainly tell us?A. Bananas are the world’ s most important food crops.B. The risk to a popular banana shows need to grow other kinds.C. There are five hundred different kinds of bananas.D. How to grow bananas in different countries.62．Bananas are threatened by disease because ________.A. they grow from seedsB. they are one of the most valuable exportsC. the only way to prevent it is to put chemicals on their leavesD. they have genetic weaknesses against disease63．Panama disease________.A. doesn’t belong to fungal diseaseB. affects the leaves of banana plantsC. destroys bananas more seriously than Black Sigatoka diseaseD. has spread to bananas all over the world64．We can infer from Paragraph 3 that ________.A. the center of the group is in the USB. the Cavendish banana covers only a small part of the yield of bananasC. the key to solving the disease is to research all kinds of bananasD. each fungal disease affects five hundred different kinds of bananas65．According to the passage, which information is right?A. The Cavendish banana can mainly be imported from North America and Europe.耶鲁专升本 5B. Panama disease affects the leaves of Cavendish banana plants.C. The Cavendish banana won’t die out in the future.D. The Cavendish banana makes up only one tenth of world production.Passage 2“Can I see my baby ？” the happy new mother asked. When the bundle was in her arms and she moved the fold of cloth to look upon his tiny face, she gasped. The doctor turned quickly and looked out of the tall hospital window. The baby had been born without ears.Time proved that the baby’ s hearing was perfect. It was only his appearance that was imperfect. When he rushed home from school one day and threw himself into his mother’s arms, she si ghed, knowing that his life was to be misfortunate. He cried out the tragedy, “A boy, a big boy... called me a freak (怪人)．”He grew up, handsome. A favourite with his fellow students, he might have been class president, but for that. He developed a gift, a talent for literature and music. “But you might communicate with other young people ，” his mother blamed him, but felt a kindness in her heart.Two years went by. One day, his father said to the son, “You’ re going to the hospital, son. Mother and I have s omeone who will donate the ears you need. But it’ s a secret.” The operation was a brilliant success, and a new person emerged.Later he married and entered the diplomatic service. One day, he asked his father, “Who gave me the ears? Who gave me so much? I could never do enough for him or her.” “I do not believe you could ，” said the father, “but the agreement was that you are not to know... not yet.”The years kept their secret, but the day did come. He stood with his father over his mother’ s casket. Slowly, tenderly, the father stretched forth a hand and raised the thick, reddish brown hair to reveal the mother had no outer ears.“Mother said she was glad she never let her hair be cut ，” his father whispered gently, “and nobody ever thought Mother less beautiful, did they ？”66．Why did Mother gasp when she saw her newborn baby?A. Because her son had a tiny face.B. Because she saw her son crying.C. Because her son was born imperfect.D. Because her son was in her arms.67．Which word can describe Mother’ s feeling when the son threw himself into her arms?A. Nervous.B. Sympathetic.C. Proud.D. Angry.68．Who gave the son the ears?A. A doctor.B. His father.C. His mother.D. A stranger.69．The underlined word “reveal” in the last but one paragraph means “________”．A. seeB. showC. findD. search70．The best title for the passage would be ________.A. Mother’s hairB. An unforgettable memoryC. Who gave me the ears?D. Who is my best respectable person?Passage 3When times get tough, we all look for ways to cut back. When we’re hungry, we eat at home instead of going out. We take buses instead of taxis. And we wear our old designer jeans just a few months longer. With college expenses at all-time highs, high school students are eager to do anything to cut the cost of a university education.One cost-cutting proposal is to allow college students to get a bachelor’ s degree in three years instead of four. Educational institutions have been actively exploring ways to make the learning process more efficient. But there’s a quest ion: Would the quality of undergraduate(本科生)education suffer? Few US universities have formally approved a “three -year degree” model.I doubt that mainstream North American colleges will carry out a three-year curriculum(课程) any time soon. For one thing, most universities already allow highly qualified students to graduate early by testing out of certain classes and obtaining a number of college credits(学分). In addition, at famous universities, the committee who determine which courses are required and whic h courses are electives are unlikely to suddenly “throw out” one quarter of the required credits. Professors will resist “diluting(稀释)” the quality of the education they offer.In my opinion, a quality four-year education is always superior to a quality three-year education. A college education requires sufficient time for a student to become skilled in their major and do coursework in fields耶鲁专升本 6outside their major. It is not a good idea to water down education, any more than it’ s not a good idea to water down medicine. If we want to help students find their way through university, we should help them understand early on what knowledge and skills they need to have upon graduation. We should allow students to test out of as many courses as possible. We should give them a chance to earn money as interns(实习生)in meaningful part-time jobs that relate to their university studies, such as the five-year co-op program at Northeastern University.71．Which of the following can be the best title?A. It’ s time to shorten t he learning processB. Best learning takes place over timeC. University education should be watered downD. College education calls for reform72．We can learn from the passage that ________.A. most American universities are against the “three -year degree ” modelB. many famous US universities are considering adopting the “three -year degree” modelC. professors are willing to accept the “three -year degree” modelD. The “three -year degree” model can make college learning more efficient73．In most US universities ，________.A. college students are offered the co-op programB. electives’ credits make up one quarter of the required creditsC. all students are required to finish four-year education before graduationD. some excellent students can graduate ahead of time74．We can infer that________.A. the author is a college professorB. the author thinks the cost of a university education is too high for people to affordC. the author considers the university education quality very importantD. the author pays special attention to the all-round development of college students75．The first paragraph serves as a(n)________．A. explanationB. definitionC. introductionD. commentPassage 4I once had my Chinese MBA students brainstorming on “two -hour bu siness plans”. I separated them into six groups and gave them an example: a restaurant chain. The more original their idea, the better, I said. Finally, five of the six groups presented plans for restaurant chains. The sixth proposed a catering(餐饮) service. Though I admitted the time limit had been difficult, I expressed my disappointment.My students were middle managers, financial analysts and financiers from state-owned enterprises and global companies. They were not without talent or opinions, but they had been shaped by an educational system that rarely stressed or rewarded critical thinking or inventiveness. The scene I just described came in different forms during my two years’ teaching at the school. Papers were often copied from the Web and the Harv ard Business Review. Case study debates were written up and just memorized. Students frequently said that copying is a superior business strategy, better than inventing and creating.In China ，every product you can imagine has been made and sold. But so few well-developed marketing and management minds have been raised that it will be a long time before most people in the world can name a Chinese brand.With this problem in mind, partnerships with institutions like Yale and MIT have been established. And then there’s the “thousand talent scheme ”： this new government program is intended to improve technological modernization by attracting top foreign trained scientists to the mainland with big money. But there are worries about China’s research environment. It’s hardly known for producing indepen dent thinking and openness, and even big salary offers may not be attractive enough to overcome this.At last, for China, becoming a major world creator is not just about setting up partnerships with top Western universities. Nor is it about gathering a group of well-educated people and telling them to think creatively. It’s about establishing a rich learning environment for young minds. It’s not that simple.76. Why does the author feel disappointed at his students?A. Because there is one group presenting a catering service.B. Because the six groups made projects for restaurant chains.C. Because all the students copied a case for the difficult topic.D. Because the students’ ideas were lacking in creativeness.耶鲁专升本 777. Which of the following scenes is NOT considered as lack of creation?A. Papers were often downloaded from the Internet.B. Students often said that copying is a preferable business strategy.C. Students combine knowledge and critical thoughts to solve a problem.D. Case study debates were written up as well as recited.78. The underlined word “scheme ” in the forth paragraph means________.A. timetableB. themeC. projectD. policy79. We can infer from the passage that________.A. China can make and sell any product all over the worldB . high pay may not solve the problem of China’s research environmentC. cooperation with institutions has been set up to make a Chinese brandD. the new government program are aimed at encouraging imagination80. Which is the best title of the passage?A. Look for a New Way of Learning.B. Reward Creative Thinking.C. How to Become a Creator.D.

As a psychologist for more than twenty years I can tell you thatI have never had an adult looking back at her childhood and complaining thather parents were too understanding. And similarly, I have met many divorcedpeople who still love each other but yet they never really understood eachother.The painful reality is love is just notenough. I’ll admit that there are people who I love and who I still need tobetter understand. I hope I’ll continue my work to understand them. The Lastwillingness to understand is very important. It is not always easy, but healthylove is strengthened by the willingness to understand. Love withoutunderstanding will wilt like flowers without water.Our egos are what seem to get in the way ofunderstanding those who we love and care about.Often it is our need to beright that makes what others think and feel so wrong for us. I have certainlybeen quite guilty of this in some of my relationships. As I have written repeatedly in my books,empathy, is truly the emotional glue that holds all close relationshipstogether. Empathy allows us to slow down and try to walk in the shoes of thosewe love. The deeper our empathy, the deeper---and healthier--- our love. Notall relationships are meant to be. Yet all relationships that are meant toflourish in a healthy way, must stress understanding just as much, if not more,than love.61. From the passage we know that_____.A. the author complains abouther parents’ being too understandingB. the author has been studying marriages for more than 20 yearsC. People divorced mainly because theydidn’t love each otherD. Some people divorced because theycouldn’t understand each other62. Whyare we unable to understand the others sometimes?A. Because we are caring the others toomuchB. Because it is quite difficultto understand the othersC. Because webelieve we are always rightD. Becausethe others have done something wrong63. Which of the following statements is true according to thepassage?A. Understanding is moreimportant to parenting relationship than to other intimate relationshipsB. Understanding is less important thanlove as far as marriage is concernedC. Understanding is more important than love to some degreeD. Understanding is more often neglected inparenting relationship64. If we are to understand our partners,we should firstly ____?A. Havewilling to do soB. Have love for themC. Get into connection with themD. Care about them65. In this passage, the expression “walkin the shoes of” is similar in meaning to_____.A. befriendB. understandC. loveD. careaboutPassage TwoFinally, the Christmas season is over. Wecan take a long breath, put up our feet, sip from a cup of good tea and relax.The frenzy, starting from Black Friday right after Thanksgiving until ChristmasEve, of gift shopping, buying, wrapping, giving, receiving, opening,returning...is exhaustive and time-consuming, but it takes place everyyear.There is considerable differencebetween the cultures in China and western countries when it comes to giftgiving, In China, it is not polite to open a gift in front of the gift giver,and gift is only looked at after the guest has left. Here in America, giftgivers always wrap their gifts, large or small,priceless or valueless, carefully and decorate them with colorful ribbons andlittle pretty paper flowers; and the lucky receiver is expected to open thegift right away in front of the giver, with great eagerness and curiosity, andshould always express appreciation with the all time truthful comment, “alwayswanted” gifts back to the store to exchange for something they really wanted.Finding a gift for somebody, even a closefamily member, you’ll have to know what the person likes and shop for daysbefore you can locate the perfect gift. But, still the person may not like thegift from you. Nowadays, stores would provide two copies of the receipts foranything they sell as a gift, one of which is included in the gift packaged sothat the receiver can come back for an exchange. I know, it was unthinkable tocash out gift you get, but, times are different. Another good way to avoid allthat shopping hassle is to purchase a gift card from one of the stores and sendit to your niece, nephews, or a family member, so that they can get whateverthey want or even keep the money.66.Finding a gift for somebody is a(n)_____.A. easy jobB. tough taskC. must-be jobD. arranged task67.It is quite ____for Chinese people to open the gift in front of thegivers.A. usualB. normalC. abnormalD. unusual68. Gift giving is the samething in China and America in that____A. people spend a lot of time preparing a giftB. people would cash out the giftimmediatelyC. people are eager toopen to get a gift from a friendD.people are less willing to give gifts69. Which of the following is the author’s suggestion?A. Open the gift immediately in front ofthe giverB. Wrap the giftcarefullyC. Express the appreciationfor the gift you receiveD. Buying apresent card to avoid the trouble in shopping70.The author’s attitude towards gift giving is_____.A.IndifferentB. protestingC. objectiveD. supportivePassage ThreeThey already guide blind and disabledpeople; now dogs are to be trained to help people with dementia（痴呆）.Theduties of these “guide dogs for the mind”will includereminding their owners to take medication, as well as encouraging them to eat,drink and sleep at regular intervals. The dementia dogs will be trained to respond to sound triggers in thehome that prompt them to perform tasks. These could include delivering abite-proof bag of medicine with a note inside reminding the patient to take it,or walking them up in the morning.The idea was developed by design studentsat the Glasgow School of Art and will now be put into practice by Alzheimer’sScotland and Dogs for the disabled.Joyce Gray of Alzheimer’s Scotland said: “people in the early stages ofdementia are still able to live a relative normal life, and dogs help tomaintain routine.”The other advantageof using the pets as companions is that conversation can be increasinglyconfusing for people with Alzheimer’s ,but dogs can give them a sense of silentsupport and companionship. People light up when they see animals. They don’tneed to communicate verbally but they can still interact. You can have aspeechless bond.The dog would alsoencourage the owner to take them out for walks, ensuring they keep exercisingand interacting with other people.71.As is mentioned in the passage, the guide dogs will do the following except for_______.A. helping ensure the ownerdoing some exercisesB. reminding the owner to takemedicineC. Communicating with theowner in a non-verbal wayD. Helpingthe owner recover from the illness72.Who will train the dogs to perform such tasks?A. The students who developed the idea.B.The owners of the dogs.C. The expertsin Alzheimer’s Scotland.D. It is not mentioned in the passage.73. What is true about the people sufferingfrom dementia?A. They would like tosay with other people.B. They canmaintain routine.C. They willgradually lose the ability to live a normal life.D. They would like to talk in a differentway.74. The guide dogs helping thepeople with dementia will _______.A. respond to the owners orderB. respond to a sound deviceC. act on the owners instructionsD. act on the trainers order75. Having a conversation with people withdementia will be _______.A. difficultB. interestingC. confusingD. encouragingPassage FourIt seems obviousthat you don’t give away your product for free but this is exactly what indierock group the Crimea did earlier this year. The Crimea did earlier this year.The band’s reasoning goes like this: more people will download the free albumthan would pay for it. Therefore more people will hear The Crimea’s music.These people will then pay money for concerts by the band and perhaps buy aT-shirt or other merchandise. If the band play regular concerts to crowds of200 or 300 people the can make more money than they would from sales of a CD.There will always be some [people who want something they can hold in theirhands so they will release the CD into the shops too-- but making money throughsales of their music isn’t the top priority.The story illustrates the creative thinking going on in the musicbusiness in response to dramatic changes over the last few years in the waythat people buy music. Sales of music digitally --to computer, phones and MP3players rose to $2 billion in 2006 -- an increase of almost 100 percenton theprevious year -- yet overall record company sales are down. People are simplynot buy CDs in record shops in anything like the numbers the\y used to.This trend looks set to continue so the bigquestion for the music industry is whether they can successfully manage themove to being primarily a digital industry without profits falling tounacceptable levels.There are both positiveand negative signs. On the plus side, more and more people are buying music onmobile phones, which allows people to make impulse purchases -- they can buy asong as soon as they hear it. Research by the UK Mobile operator 3 suggestedthat 75 percent of 16 to 24-year-olds wanted to buy a track they liked as soonas they heard it. With so much competition for people’s disposable income, aproduct that you can sell immediately is a big advantage. The bad news for record companies, however,is the mount of music that is downloaded illegally. Piracy --- usually in theform of cheaply copied CD ---has long been an issue for the music business butthe internet means music can be copied and distributed freely throughfile-sharing sites on a large scale than ever before.It is this situation that leads bands tostart giving away their music for free and promises to make the next few yearsa very interesting time in the music business.76. What is unusual about the Crimea’sbusiness plan?A. Their business wasgiven away free on the Internet.B.They give CDs away free in shops.C.They played free concerts.D. Theycharged more for their CDs.77. TheCrimea hope to make money _______.A. through CD salesB. by giving concerts and selling T-shirtsand other merchandiseC. by sellingmerchandise on the internetD. thoughsales of merchandise in shops78.

Pony-trekking, climbing and fishing are also 47 , along with Scotland's national game, golf. 48 enthusiasts are well rewarded—this is the homeof the red deer, red squirrel and golden eagle. If you don't like the 49 to the highest point, some 2000 metres 50 sea level, you can take the railway 51 gets you to the summit in less than ten minutes. 52 the west of the park is another popular natural 53 , Loch Ness. The lake is over 200 metres 54 in places, and salmon, trout and eels are in abundance here.Over the border in England is the Lake District, 55 made famous by Romantic poets such as William Wordsworth two hundred years ago. People have been 56 here en masse since 1847 57 a railway was built to its biggest lake, Windermere. 58 in the past boats plied its waters 59 stone, timber and wood, today's craft are more likely to carry 60 on pleasure cruises—over a million a year, in fact.41.

As a psychologist for more than twenty years I can tell you that I have never had an adult looking back at her childhood and complaining that her parents were too understanding. And similarly, I have met many divorced people who still love each other but yet they never really understood each other.The painful reality is that love is just not enough. I'll admit that there are people who I love and who I still need to better understand. I hope I'll continue my work to understand them. The willingness to understand is very important. It is not always easy, but healthy love is strengthened by the willingness to understand. Love without understanding will wilt like flowers without water.Our egos are what seem to get in the way of understanding those who we love and care about. Often it is our need to be rightthat makes what others think and feel so wrong for us.I have certainly been quite guilty of this in some of my relationships.As I have written repeatedly in my books, empathy, is truly the emotional glue that holds all close relationships together. Empathy allows us to slow down and try to walk in the shoes of those we love. The deeper our empathy, the deeper—and healthier—our love. Not all relationships are meant to be. Yet all relationships that are meant to flourish in a healthy way, must stress understanding just as much, if not more, as love.61. From the passage we know that .A、the author complains about her parents' being too understandingB、the author has been studying marriages for more than 20 yearsC、people divorced mainly because they didn't love each otherD、some people divorced because they couldn't understand each other62. Why are we unable to understand the others sometimes?A、Because we care about the others too much.B、Because it is quite difficult to understand the others.C、Because we believe we are always right.D、Because the others have done something wrong.63. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A、Understanding is more important to parenting relationship than to other intimate relationships.B、Understanding is less important than love as far as marriage is concerned.C、Understanding is more important than love to some degree.D、Understanding is more often neglected in parenting relationship.64. If we are to understand our partners, we should firstly .A、have willingness to do soB、have love for themC、get into connection with themD、care about them65. In this passage, the expression “walk in the shoes of” is similar in meaning to .A、befriendB、understandC、loveD、care aboutPassage TwoFinally, the Christmas season is over. We can take a long breath, put up our feet, sip from a cup of good tea and relax. The frenzy, starting from Black Friday right after Thanksgiving until Christmas Ev e, of gift shopping, buying, wrapping, giving, receiving, opening, returning…is exhaustive and time-consuming, but it takes place every year.There is considerable difference between the cultures in China and western countries when it comes to gift giving. In China, it is not polite to open a gift in front of the gift giver, and the gift is only looked at after the guest has left. Here in America, gift givers always wrap their gifts, large or small, priceless or valueless, carefully decorate them with colorful ribbons and little pretty paper flowers; and the lucky receiver is expected to open the gift right away in front of the giver, with great eagerness andcuriosity, and should always express appreciation with the all time truthful comment, “This is just exactly what I wanted!”Well, as a matter of fact, most people would take their “always wanted” gifts back to the store to exchange forsomething they really wanted.Finding a gift for somebody, even a close family member, you'll have to know what the person likes and shop for days before you can locate the perfect gift. But, still the person may not like the gift from you. Nowadays, stores would provide two copies of the receipts for anything they sell as a gift, one of which is included in the gift package so that the receiver can come back for an exchange. I know, it was unthinkable to cash out the gift you get, but, times are different. Another good way to avoid all that shopping hassle is to purchase a gift card from one of the stores and send it to your niece, nephews, or a family member, so that they can get whatever they want or even keep the money.66. Finding a gift for somebody is a(n) .A、easy jobB、tough taskC、must-be jobD、arranged task67. It is quite for Chinese people to open the gift in front of the givers.A、usualB、normalC、abnormalD、unusual68. Gift giving is the same thing in China and America in that .A、people spend a lot of time preparing a giftB、people would cash out the gift immediatelyC、people are eager to get a gift from a friendD、people are less willing to give gifts69. Which of the following is the author's suggestion?A、Open the gift immediately in front of the giver.B、Wrap the gift carefully.C、Express the appreciation for the gift you receive.D、Buying a present card to avoid the trouble in shopping70. The author's attitude towards gift giving is .A、indifferentB、protestingC、objectiveD、supportivePassage ThreeThey already guide blind and disabled people; now dogs are to be trained to help people with dementia(痴呆). The duties of these “guide dogs for the mind” will include reminding their owners to take medication, as well as encouraging them to eat, drink and sleep at regular intervals.The dementia dogs will be trained to respond to sound triggers in the home that prompt them to perform tasks. These could include delivering a bite-proof bag of medicine with a note inside reminding the patient to take it, or waking them up in the morning.The idea was developed by design students at the Glasgow School of Art and will now be put into practice by Alzheimer's Scotland and Dogs for the disabled.Joyce Gray of Alzheimer's Scotland said, “People in the early stages of dementia are still able to live a relatively nor mal life, and dogs help to maintain routine.”The other advantage of using the pets as companions is thatconversation can be increasingly confusing for people with Alzheimer's, but dogs can give them a sense of silent support and companionship. People light up when they see animals. They don't need to communicate verbally but they can still interact. You can have a speechless bond.The dog would also encourage the owner to take them out for walks, ensuring they keep exercising and interacting with other people.71. As is mentioned in the passage, the guide dogs will do the following except for .A、helping ensure the owner doing some exercisesB、reminding the owner to take medicineC、communicating with the owner in a non-verbal wayD、helping the owner recover from the illness72. Who will train the dogs to perform such tasks?A、The students who developed the idea.B、The owners of the dogs.C、The experts in Alzheimer's Scotland.D、It is not mentioned in the passage.73. What is true about the people suffering from dementia?A、They would like to stay with other people.B、They can maintain routine.C、They will gradually lose the ability to live a normal life.D、They would like to talk in a different way.74. The guide dogs helping the people with dementia will .A、respond to the owners' orderB、respond to a sound deviceC、act on the owners' instructionsD、act on the trainers' order75. Having a conversation with people with dementia will be .A、difficultB、interestingC、confusingD、encouragingPassage FourIt seems obvious that you don't give away your product for free but this is exactly what indie rock group The Crimea did earlier this year. The band's reasoning goes like this: more people will download the free album than would pay for it. Therefore more people will hear The Crimea's music. These people will then pay money for concerts by the band and perhaps buy a T-shirt or other merchandise. If the band play regular concerts to crowds of 200 or 300 people they can make more money than they would from sales of a CD. There will always be some people who want something they can hold in their hands so they will release the CD into the shops too—but making money through sales of their music isn't the top priority. The story illustrates the creative thinking going on in the music business in response to dramatic changes over the last few years in the way that people buy music. Sales of musicdigitally—to computer, phones and MP3 players rose to＄2 billion in 2006—an increase of almost 100 percent on the previous year—yet overall record company sales are down. People are simply not buying CDs in record shops in anything like the numbers they used to.This trend looks set to continue, so the big question for the music industry is whether they can successfully manage the move to being primarily a digital industry without profits falling to unacceptable levels.There are both positive and negative signs. On the plus side,more and more people are buying music on mobile phones, which allows people to make impulse purchases—they can buy a song as soon as they hear it. Research by the UK mobile operator3 suggested that 75 percent of 16 to 24-year-olds wanted to buya track they liked as soon as they heard it. With so much competition for people's disposable income, a product that you can sell immediately is a big advantage.The bad news for record companies, however, is the amount of music that is downloaded illegally. Piracy—usually in the form of cheaply copied CD—has long been an issue for the music business but the Internet means music can be copied and distributed freely through file-sharing sites on a larger scale than ever before.It is this situation that leads bands to start giving away their music for free and promises to make the next few years a very interesting time in the music business.76. What is unusual about the Crimea's business plan?A、Their business was given away free on the Internet.B、They gave CDs away free in shops.C、They played free concerts.D、They charged more for their CDs.77. The Crimea hope to make money .A、through CD salesB、by giving concerts and selling T-shirts and other merchandiseC、by selling merchandise on the InternetD、through sales of merchandise in shops78. The Crimea also released CDs for sale in shops because .A、people who attend their concerts need themB、they want to make extra moneyC、there are still people who prefer CDs to other formatsD、people who fail to attend their concerts need them79. What is true about sales of music over the last year?A、Overall, sales are up last year.B、Overall, sales are down last year.C、There is no change compared to previous sales.D、It is not mentioned in the passage.80. What effect has the Internet had on music piracy?A、It has made it easier to fight piracy.B、It has increased the number of pirate CDs available.C、It has made it easier to illegally copy music.D、It has reduced the number of pirate CDs available.四、翻译题（每小题2分，共20分）81. 她喜欢看书时听音乐。

As a psychologist for more than twenty years I can tell you that I have never had an adult looking back at her childhood and complaining that her parents were too understanding. And similarly, I have met many divorced people who still love each other but yet they never really understood each other.The painful reality is love is just not enough. I’ll admit that there are people who I love and who I still need to better understand. I hope I will continue my work to understand them. The willingness to understand is very important. It is not always easy,but healthy love is strengthened by the willingness to understand. Love without understanding will wilt like flowers without water.Our egos are what seem to get in the way of understanding those who we love and care about. Often it is our need to be right that makes what others think and feel so wrong for us. I have certainly been quite guilty of this in some of my relationships.As I have written repeatedly in my books, empathy , is truly the emotional glue that holds all close relationships together. Empathy allows us to slow down and try to walk in the shoes of those we love. The deeper our empathy, the deeper---the healthier---our love. Not all relationships are meant to be. Yet all relationships that are meant to flourish in a healthy way, must stress understanding just as much, if not more, than love.61.From the passage, we know that _____.A.the author complains about her parents’ be ing too understandingB.the author has been studying marriage for more than 20 yearsC.People divorced mainly because they didn’t love each otherD.Some people divorced because they couldn’t understand each other62.Why are we unable to understand the others sometimes?A.Because we are caring the others too much.B. Because it is quite difficult to understand the others.C. Because we believe we are always rightD.Because the others have done something wrong63.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A.Understanding is more important to parenting relationships than to other intimate relationships.B.Understanding is less important than love as far as marriage is concerned.C.Understanding is more important than love to some degree.D.Understanding is more often neglected in parenting relationship.64.If we are to understand our parents, we should firstly _____.A.have willingness to do soB.have love for themC.get into connection with themD.care about them65.In this passage, the expression “walk in the shoes of” is similar in meaning to ____.A.befriendB.understandC.loveD.care aboutPassage TwoFinally, the Christmas season is over. We can take a long breath, put up our feet, sip from a cup of good tea and relax. The frenzy, starting from Black Friday right after Thanksgiving until Christmas Eve, of gift shopping, buying, wrapping, giving, receiving, opening, returning...is exhaustive and time---consuming, but it takes place every year.There is considerable difference between the cultures in China and western countries when it comes to gift giving. In China, it is not polite to open a gift in front of the gift giver, and gift is only looked at after the guest has left. Here in America, gift givers always wrap their gifts, large or small, priceless or valueless, carefully and decorate them with colorful ribbons and little pretty paper flowers; and the lucky receiver is expected to open the gift right away in front of the giver, with great eagerness and curiosity, and should always express appreciation with the all time truthful comment,“this is just exactly what I wanted!” Well, as a matter of fact, most people would take their“always wanted” gifts back to the store to exchange for something they really wanted.Finding a gift for somebody, even a close family member, you will have to know what the person likes and shop for days before you can locate the perfect gift. But , still the person may not like the gift from you. Nowadays, stores would provide two copies of the receipts for anything they sell as a gift, one of which is included in the gift packaged so that the receiver can come back for an exchange. I know, it was unthinkable to cash out gift you get, but, times are different. Another good way to avoid all that shopping hassle is to purchase a gift card from one of the stores and send it to your niece, nephews, or a family member, so that they can get whatever they want or even keep the money.66.Finding a gift for somebody is a(n) _____.A.easy jobB.tough taskC.must-be jobD.arranged task67.It is quite _____ for Chinese people to open the gift in front of the givers.ualB.normalC.abnormalD.unusual68.Gift giving is the same thing in China and America in that _____.A.people spend a lot of time preparing a giftB.People would cash out the gift immediatelyC.People are eager to open to get a gift from a friendD.People are less willing to give gifts.69.Wh ich of the following is the author’s suggestion?A.Open a gift immediately in front of the giver.B.Wrap the gift carefully.C.Express the appreciation for the gift you receive.D.Buying a present card to avoid the trouble in shopping70.The author’s attit ude towards gift giving is_____.A.indifferentB.protestingC.objectiveD.supportivePassage ThreeThey already guide blind and disabled people ;now dogs are to be trained to help people with dementia(痴呆).The duties of these “guide dogs for the mind” will include reminding their owners to take medication, as well as encouraging them to eat , drink and sleep at regular intervals.The dementia dogs will be trained to respond to sound triggers in the home that prompt them to perform tasks .These could include delivering a bite-proof bag of medicine with a note inside reminding the patient to take it , or waking them up in the morning.The idea was developed by design students at the Glasgow School of Art and will now be put into practice by Alzheimer’s Seotland and Dogs for the disabled.Joyee Gray of Alzheimer’s Scotland said:“People in the early stages of dementia are still able to live a relative normal life , and dogs help to maintain routine .”The other advantage of using the pets as companions is that conversation can be increasingly confusing for people with Alzheimer’s ,but dogs can give them a sense of silent support and companionship . People light up when they can see animals .They don’t need to communicate verbally but they c an still interact . You can have a speechless bond .The dog would also encourage the owner to take them out for walks ,ensuring they keep exercising and interacting with other people .71.As is mentioned in the passage ,the guide dogs will do the following except for ____ .A.helping ensure the owner doing some exercisesB.reminding the owner to take medicinemunicating with the owner in a non-verbal wayD.helping the owner recover from the illness72.Who will train the dogs to perform such tasks?A.The students who developed the idea.B.The owners of the dogs.C.The experts in Alzheimer’s Scotland .D.It is not mentioned in the passage .73.What is true about the people suffering from dementia?A.They would like to stay with other people.B.They can maintain routine .C.They will gradually lose the ability to live a normal life .D.They would like to talk in a different way .74.The guide dogs helping the people with dementia will ___.A.respond to the owners orderB.respond to a sound deviceC.act on the owners instructionsD.act on the trainers order75.Having a conversation with people with dementia will be ___.A.difficultB.interestingC.confusing D .encouragingPassage FourIt seems obvious that yo u don’t give away your product for free but this is exactly what indie rock group The Crimea did earlier this year. The band’s reasoning goes like this: more people will download the free album than would pay for it. Therefore, more people will hear The Cr imea’s music. These people will then pay money for concerts by the band and perhaps buy a T-shirt or other merchandise. If the band play regular concerts to crowds of200 or 300 people they can make more money than they would from sales of CD. There will always be some people who want something they can hold in their hands so they will release the CD into the shops too---but making money through sales of their music isn’t the top priority.The story illustrates the creative thinking going on in their music in response to dramatic changes over the last few years in the way that people buy music. Sales of music digitally ---to computer, phone and MP3 players rose to $2 billion in 2006---an increase of almost 100 percent on the previous year---yet overall record company sales are down. People are simply not buying CDs in record shops in anything like the numbers they used to.This trend looks set to continue so the big questions for the music industry is whether they can successfully manage the move to being primarily a digital industry without profits falling to unacceptable levels.There are both positive and negative signs. On the plus side, more and more people are buying music by mobile phones, which allows people to make impulse purchases---they can buy a song as soon as they hear it. Research by the UK mobile operator 3 suggested that 75 percent of 16 to 24-year-olds wanted to buy a track they liked as soon as they heard it. With so much competition for people’s disposable income, a product you can sell immediately is a big advantage.The bad news for the record companies, however, is the amount of music that is downloaded illegally. Piracy---usually in the form of cheaply copied CD---has long been an issue for the music business but the internet means music can be copied and distributed freely through file-sharing sites on a large scale than ever before.It is this situation that leads bands to start giving away their music for free and promises to make the next few years a very interesting time in the music business.76.What is unusual about the Crimea’s business plan ?A.Their business was given away free on the Internet .B.They gave CDs away free in shops .C.They played free concerts.D.They charged more for their CDs.77.The Crimea hope to make money___.A.through CD salesB.by giving concerts and selling T-shirts and other merchandiseC.by selling merchandise on the InternetD.through sales of merchandise in shops78.The Crimea also released CDs for sale in shops because ___.A.people who attend their concerts need themB.they want to make extra moneyC.there are still people who prefer CDs to other formatsD.people who fail to attend their concerts need them79.What is true about sales of music over the last year?A.Overall,sales are up on last year.B.Overall,sales are down on last year.C.There is no change compared to previous salesD.It is not mentioned in the passage.80.What effect has internet had on music piracy?A.It is made it easier to fight piracyB.It has increased the number of pirate CDs available.C.It has made it easier to illegally copy music.D.It has reduced the number of pirate CDs available.Part IV TranslationSection A81.她喜欢看书时听音乐。

Every day we would leave class together and she 48 her wisdom and experience with me. Over the 49 of the year, Rose became a campus icon and she 50 made friends wherever she went.At the 51 of the semester we invited Rose to speak at our football banquet（宴会）. I’ll 52 forget what she taught us. When she was introduced, frustrated and a little embarrassed, she cleared her 53 and said, “We do not stop playing because we are old; we 54 old because we stop playing. There are only two secrets to staying 55 , being happy, and achieving success. You have to 56 and find humor every day. You’ve got to have a dream.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet .Passage 1Everyday we go to school and listen to the teacher, and the teacher will ask us some questions. Sometimes, the classmates will ask your opinions of the work of the class. When you are telling others in the class what you have found out about these topics, remember that they must be able to hear what you are saying. You are not taking part in a family conversation or having a chat（闲谈）with friends — you are in a slightly unnatural situation where a large group of people will remain silent, waiting to hear what you have to say. You must speak so that they can hear you — loudly enough and clearly enough but without trying to shout of appearing to force yourself.Remember, too, that it is the same if you are called to an interview whether it is with a professor of your school or a government official who might meet you. The person you are seeing will try to put you at your ease（轻松）but the situation is somewhat（一点儿）different from that of an ordinary conversation. You must take special care that you can be heard.61.When you speak to the class, you should speak _______________.A．as loudly as possible B．in a low voice C．loudly D．forcefullyually, when you speak to the class, the class is _________________.A. noisy B．quiet C．having a rest D．serious63.The situation in the class is _______________ that in your house.A．not very different from B．sometimes the same asC.．sometimes not the same as D．not the same as64. If you are having a conversation with an official, the most important thing for you is _______. A．to show your ability B．to be very gentleC. to make sure that you can be heard D．to put the official at ease65.The main idea of this passage is _______________.A．that we must use different ways at different situations B．that we must speak loudly C．that we must keep silent at any time D．that we must talk with the classPassage 2The Internet has led to a huge increase in credit-card(信用卡) fraud. Your card information could even be for sale in an illegal Web site(网站).Web sites offering cheap goods and services should be regarded with care. On-line shoppers who enter their credit-card information may never receive the goods they bought. The thieves then go shopping with your card number — or sell the information over the Internet.Computers hackers(黑客) have broken down security(安全) systems, raising questions about the safety of cardholder information. Several months ago,25 000 customers of CD Universe, an on-line music retailer(批发商),were not lucky. Their names, addresses and credit-card numbers were posted on a Web site after the retailer refused to pay US $157 828 to get back the information.Credit-card firms are now fighting against on-line fraud. MasterCard is working on plans for Web-only credit card, with a lower credit limit. The card could be used only for shopping on-line. However, there are a few simple steps you can take to keep from being cheated.Ask about your credit-card firm's on-line rules: Under British law, cardholders are responsible (对……负有责任的) for the first US $78 of any fraudulent spending.And shop only at secure sites: Send your credit-card information only if the Web site offers-advanced secure system.If the security is in place, a letter will appear in the bottom right-hand corner of your screen. The Web site address may also start with https:// — the extr a “s” stands for secure. If in doubt, give your credit-card information over the telephone.Keep your password safe: Most online sites require a user name and password before placing an order. Treat your passwords with care.66. What do most people worry about the Internet according to this passage?A. A lot of stolen credit-cards were sold on the Internet.B. Fraud on the Internet.C. Many Web sites are destroyed.D. Many illegal Web sites are on the Internet.67. What is the meaning of “fraud”?A. cheatingB. saleC. paymentD. safety68. How can the thieves get the information of the credit-card?A. The customers give them the information.B. The thieves steal the information from Web sites.C. The customers sell the information to them.D. Both A and B.69. How many pieces of advice does the passage give to you?A. Four.B. Three.C. Five.D. Six.70. You are shopping on the site: ,and you want to buy a TV set, what does this article suggest doing?A. Order the TV set at once.B. Do not buy the TV set on this site.C. E-mail the site your credit-card information.D. Tell the site your password and buy the TV set for you.Passage 3Unless action is taken immediately, there is a good chance that all the oceans of the world will be dead by the year 2010.How can this possibly happen?We have already seen that people allow all sorts of waste products to flow into the sea. It is almost impossible to measure how much waste water and industrial waste end up in our oceans, but we can find out how much oil is poured into them legally and illegally. It is illegal to pour oil into the sea close to the shore, but when a ship is many miles out to sea there are no such rules. Scientists have different ideas as to the amount of oil put into the sea, but the lowest figure for oil poured in European waters alone is nearly 200 000 tons every year. Some people say the figure could be ten times as high.It is not only our coasts that suffer from oil pollution. Among other things, many shell fish (creatures which live in water), and have a hard shell — oysters and mussels, for example — now have high amounts of poisonous substances. Next time you have shell fish to eat, how can you be sure that they are free from oil pollution? You cannot see the effects and you cannot taste them, either. It is really quite a problem.71. This passage is mainly about_________________.A. pollution in the oceansB. the amounts of oil in the seaC. the amounts of poison in shell fishD. oil pollution in the waters72. According to the passage, what is the main cause of oil pollution?A. Oil ships which meet and strike each other.B. Oil poured at sea when the oil tanks are cleaned out.C. Oil coming out of the bottom of the sea.D. Oil from waste water and industrial waste.73. Which of the following is illegal?A. Pouring oil into the sea from land, especially when there is no other choice.B. Allowing waste materials to flow into the waters.C. Pouring oil at seaside.D. Going fishing when the water is polluted by oil.74. What does the underlined word European waters' mean?A. The seas around Europe and Africa.B. The Atlantic Ocean.C. The Arctic Ocean.D. The Black Sea and the Mediterranean mainly.75. Which of the following statements is WRONG according to the passage?A. All the Oceans in the world are polluted by oil.B. The water body of the earth will be dead by the year 2010.C. It's possible that all the creatures in the sea will die out if no action is taken.D. Some kinds of the living things in the waters have been poisoned and we must be careful ofthem.Passage 4NASA is moving ahead with plans to put a long-armed lander on Mars’ icy north pole to search for clues① for water and possible signs of life.The $386 million Phoenix Mars is planned to touch down in the Martian arctic in 2008. The stationary probe will use its robotic arm to dig into the icy land and pick up soil samples②to analyze. In 2002, the Mars Odyssey orbiter spotted evidence of ice-rich soil near the arctic surface.Scientists hope the Phoenix mission will find clues to the geologic history of water on the Red Planet and determine whether microbes③ existed in the ice.Phoenix will be the first mission of the Mars Scout program, a renewed, low-cost effort to study the Red Planet. “The Phoenix mission explores new territory in the northern plains of Mars analogous to the permaf rost regions on Earth,” Peter Smith said.True to its name, Phoenix rose from the ashes of previous④ missions. The lander for Phoenix was built to fly as part of the 2001 Mars Surveyor program. But the program broke down after the well-known disappearance of the Mars Polar Lander in 1999. The Polar Lander lost contact during a landing attempt near the planet’s south pole after its rocket engine shut off prematurely, causing the spacecraft to fall about 130 feet to almost certain destruction.The Phoenix probe had been in storage at a Lockheed Martin clean room in Denver before it was reused for its present mission. It will carry science instruments that were designed for the Mars Surveyor program including an improved panoramic camera and a trench-digging robotic arm. Phoenix will lift off from the Kennedy Space Center in August 2007 and land on the planet nine months later.76. The passage mainly tells readers that _________.A. clues of water will be found in PhoenixB. Phoenix will be sent to find clues of water on MarsC. August 2007 will see Phoenix lift offD. the Mars Scout program will be carried out77. The underlined word “prematurely” (Paragraph 5) means _________.A. on timeB. behind the timeC. out of workD. ahead of time78.
