Passage 1Scientists are learning more about the effects of stress on our bodies. Long-term stress may increase the risk of obesity(肥胖), heart disease, and even asthma, according to new research.Stressful experiences---such as mental illness in a family, unemployment, poverty, or abuse---continue to affect our health and well-being far longer than the actual event. This is becoming a major concern for public health professionals.Researchers at the University of California discovered that childhood stress could permanently affect a person’s DNA. They found that kids who went through traumatic (创伤性的) experiences at a young age had shorter telomeres(端粒)than tho se who hadn’t. Telomeres are the protective tips at the end of our DNA, and shorter telomeres are linked to a variety of health problems. The researchers concluded that early childhood trauma has a lasting impact on our overall health.In another study, scientists in Sweden measured the stress levels of 17,000 adults, and then tracked them for 11 years. The results showed that the most stressed-out participants had a 45% higher risk of developing heart disease. The study also revealed that those with stressful jobs were more likely to take sick leave due to heart problems.Furthermore, researchers in New Zealand found that children who suffered ongoing stress before the age of 15 had a higher chance of developing asthma later in life. This finding suggests that reducing stress in early childhood could have long-term health benefits.Overall, these studies emphasize the need for stress reduction strategies and interventions, particularly in high-risk populations. Whether through therapy, meditation(冥想), or lifestyle changes, it is essential that we find healthy ways to manage and cope with stress to protect our long-term health.1. According to the passage, long-term stress may lead to _______.A. mental illnessB. shorter telomeresC. unemploymentD. poverty答案:B解析:根据第一段中的“Long-term stress may increase the risk of obesity(肥胖), heart disease, and even asthma, according to new research.”可知,长期的压力可能会增加肥胖、心脏病甚至哮喘的风险,选项B中的“shorter telomeres”(更短的端粒)对应文章中提到的短端粒与健康问题有关。

They have developed a ntial body of theory that has been applied successfully to a large number mal populations and has led to a major improvement in the management of someof the major marine fisheries.The theory has been developed for single species populations with man a predator. Much of it is based on the Darwinian concept of a constant pulation of young that is reduced by density dependent mortality resulting ntraspecific competition. The unfished population tends toward a maximum brium size with a relatively high proportion of large, old individuals. As g increased and natural mortality is reduced, death from fishing eventually the place of most natural mortality. If the amount of fishing is increased ch, the indivduals will tend to be taken before realizing their potential , and total yield will be reduced. The maximum sustainable yields can be taken intermediate population size that in some populations is about one thirdthe unfished population size.G.V.Nikolskii, of Moscow State University, develops his theory from a ent approach. He is non Darwinian and is(he says)a nonmathematician; rather nsiders himself as ecologist and morphologist. He argues that Darwins's ept of constant overpopulation has led to the neglect of the problem of ting spawns and young fish. He argues also that Darwin's concept of a variety incipient species have led to extensive mathematical analysis of racial acters. Nikolskii considers the main laws of population dynamics to be ned with the succession of generations; their birth, growth, and death. The s are governed by the relative rates of adaptaton and environmental change. ss and age structure of a population are the result of adaptation to the food . The mass and age structure of a population are the result of adaptation food supply. The rate of growth of individuals, the time of sexual maturity, e accumulation of reserves vary according to the food supply. These factors n influence the success of reproduction in ways that tend to bring the size of the population into balance with its food supply.Nikolskill theorizes that fish population is controlled mainly by the _____ . of the fish caught within a speciesal characteristics of the speciesnt of food available to the speciesh rate within a speciesThe author indicates the main difference between the theories of Darwin andkii is the _____ .ct of food supply on the size of the fishamount of fish that can be harvestedods used to catch fishe of population variation in fishThe theories based on the concepts of Darwin assume that fish population is lled mainly by the _____ .of the fish caught within a speciesnt of fishing pressure of the speciesal characteristics of the speciesexpectancy within the speciesThe researchers discussed in the passage were mainly concerned with _____ . ies of fish faced with extinctionecology of fishingeffects of pollution on fishingercial fishingPassage 2There are people in Italy who can't stand soccer. Not all Canadians love .A similar situation exists in America, where there are those individuals y be one of them who yawn or even frown when somebody mentions baseball. all to them means boring hours watching grown men in funny tight outfitsng around in a field staring away while very little of anything happens. They ou it's a game better suited to the 19th century slow,quiet, gentlemanly. are the same people you may be one of them who love football because there's the sport that glorifies “the hit”.By contrast, baseball seems abstract, cool, silent, still.On TV the game is fractured into a dozen perspectives, replays, close . The geometry of the game, however, is essential to understanding it. You ontemplate the game from one point as a painter does his subject; you may, rse, project yourself into the game. It is in this projection that the game rds so much space and time for involvement. The TV won't do it for you.Take, for example, the third baseman. You sit behind the third base dugout u watch him watching home plate. His legs are apart, knees flexed. His arms oose. He does a lot of this. The skeptic still cannot think of any other sports ll, so passive. But watch what happens every time the pitcher (投手) throws; ird baseman goes up on his toes, flexes his arms or bring the glove to a point nt of him, takes a step right or left, backward or forward, perhaps he glances the field to check his first baseman's position. Suppose the pitch is a ball. “Nothing happened,”you say.“I could have had my eyes closed.”The skeptic and the innocent must play the game. And this involvement in ands is no more intellectual than listening to music is. Watch the third n. Smooth the dirt in front of you with one foot; smooth the pocket in your watch the eyes of the batter, the speed of the bat, the sound of horsehided. If football is a symphony (交响乐) of movement and theatre, baseball is er (室内)music, a spacious interlocking of notes, chores and responses. The passage is mainly concerned with _____ .different tastes of people for sportsdifferent characteristics of sportsattraction of footballattraction of baseballThose who don't like baseball may complain that _____ .is only to the taste of the oldinvolves fewer players than footballis not exciting enoughis pretentious and looks funnyThe author admits that _____ .eball is too peaceful for the youngeball may seem boring when watched on TVtball is more attracting than baseballeball is more interesting than footballWe can safely conclude that the author _____ .es footballes footballes baseballes baseballPassage 3Aleister Growley is probably considered to be the most infamous Black an of the 20th century although, in fact, he was not a Black Magician and claimed to be. He practiced his own form of magic which only partly resembled tes of devil worshippers, and it was certainly not performed for the sameends.Rather than worshipping God, the devil, or anything else, Crowley devised ligion” with himself as a saviour showing the people the way to freedom h their own“true will”.In other words, he said, people should throw off nstraints and conventions and gain control of themselves and others throughtheir own will power.In his famous books,“Magic in Theory and Practice”,Crowley explains what is, namely, a technique of making nature obey man's will by capturing natural through speaking the appropriate words and performing the correct actions. is must be done while in the right state of mind: a state that Crowley oftenproduced by the use of drugs.His experiments with various drugs were to have serious consequences and time he was in his thirties he was taking too much heroin. At the end of fe he was taking a massive daily does of 11 grammes, enough to kill a roomfulple. It was only his extraordinary physical strength and conditioning through years, that stopped it being fatal. Rather ironically, considering his ssive intake of drugs, Crowley died of natural causes at the age of 72.Opinion has always been sharply divided about him, for as well as being confessed magician, Crowley also painted, wrote plays, stories and poetry. ee him as a clever but misguided man, while others ,especially after the dals attached to his life at Cefalu in Cicily, view him as truly evil. Through the doctrine of “true will”,Crowley encouraged people to _____ . re the normal moralityfreedom through self worshiprol everything by will powernt a new unconventional religionH ow is magic defined in“Magic in Theory and Practice”?means of acquiring a certain state of mind.technique of speaking and acting in a certain way.form of natural power gained through using drugs.way of subduing natural laws by will power.What kind of person was Crowley?seeking and violent.ng willed and dissatisfied.and weak willed.ng willed and determined.Why didn't the large amounts of heroin taken by Growley prove fatal?ook too large a dose for it to be fatal.id not take enough to kill a man of his size.ad conditioned his body not to die.ad accustomed his body to large dosage.Passage 4I have yet to witness one example just one of compliance on the part of people who have the power to move those little thermostat buttons.Don't theyknow about the fuel shortage?The subways are too hot.Heat pours out of the vents.People stand bumper per breathing hotly down each other's necks with their heavy winter coats sweating.The subways could probably be heated by body heat alone.Why is itstill August down there?Department stores are too hot.The customers are wearing those same heavy coats.Even if you take your coat off,it's still too hot,and then you've got to lug your coat around as well as all the holiday packages.My apartment is too hot.Even with the radiators turned off steam pours out ry nook and cranny.It's a bit ludicrous that I go running around turning off to save electricity while I'm wearing shorts and my windows are wide open.Museums are too hot.Movies are too hot.Buses are too hot.This morning theAvenue bus was so hot that everybody was opening the windows.And it was rainingout.Better wet than hot.And now I sit sweating in my office.The heat is on,and so is the air conditioning,but even that doesn't help.I think ordinary people are willing to make sacrifices.All the ordinary I know are cutting down on electricity and gas.I am sure the ordinary peoplewould be willing to conserve sweat,too.But the ordinary people,unfortunately,don't have power over thethermostat.In this passage,the author _____ .calling for the saving of energytalking about the earth's greenhouse effectcomplaining about the crowdedness of public placesresses dissatisfaction with urban lifeThe author lists so many places in order to make clear the idea that _____ .e public places are too hot to work inrgy used for heating can be saved in some placese in big cities is rather unpleasantlic places should be better air conditionedBy saying that“?ordinary people would be willing to conserve sweat,too”third sentence in paragraph 7),the author really means that ordinary people.ld agree to turn off power where possiblefer winter to summer't like hot placeswilling to give up a comfortable lifeThe tone of the passage is one of _____ .plaintpairuasionicismPassage 5Increasingly, the development of tourism is seen to have an effect on the nment. Erosion is one problem. The steps and stones of major popular sites Shakespeare's birthplace or Stonehenge are literally being worn away by ns of foreign feet. The remedy in the case of Britain's best known prehistoric nt has been to use railings to keep visitors at a distance. Such measures rdly be adopted in the house of the Bard, however, where tourists want toenter the actual building.Overcrowding in cities, towns and villages is another problem. Traffic jams outcome. In narrow roads, tourist vehicles cause congestion. Local traders sidents cannot get around to do their work. Car parks fill up, so strangersheir cars where they can;in streets, across gateways, in lay bys, or even vate driveways. This causes obstruction. The sheer weights of incomers can azard.Thus Venice, a city built for half a million inhabitants, is swollen ther half million who populate the city daily in the tourist season eight n visits each year.The mayor recently decided to limit visitors to 90 000a day: the only way to save the city from inundation.Pollution is a further consequence. The Lakes are popular for people who watersports, such as waterskiing , power boat racing and swimming, but boats ewage directly into the water. Facilities can be provided to prevent this happening, but this is costly. There are also problems with litter.The threat to wildlife habitats is yet another result. Tourists around the destroy vegetation. This is harmful to animals which build their nests along ores. Wildlife refuges have been created which have helped protect these l sites. On the Greek island of Zakinthos, the breeding beaches of the rare oggerhead turtle are being threatened by tourist disturbance. Local vationists try to monitor and protect the turtles but they have been attacked angry owners of taverns and hotels who make lucrative profits from bars or g sunbeds and umbrellas. Government compensation payments for the loss ofbusiness might be the anwser,but this would be costly.Which of the following statements best summarizes the main idea of the e?development of tourism has brought about environmental problems.rism should not develop at the cost of the environmental destruction. sures taken to protect the environment prove to be ineffective.rism is developing for the sole purpose of making money.As a result of overdevelopment of tourism, Venice _____ .overcrowded with carsoverloadedworn awaybadly pollutedParagraph 3 points out that the Lakes _____ .e too many boats on themovercrowded on the beachespolluted by wastesno longer attractiveOn the island of Zakinthos, measures to protect the turtles meet resistance y for _____ .itical reasonsnomic reasonsironmental reasonselopmental reasonsP art IV English-Chinese Translationions:Read the following passage carefully and then translate the underlined sentences into Chinese(15 points)The sudden upthrust of warm,moist air into the terrible cold of the frozen s is what creates thunder.The sudden stronger rubbing together or two unlike es(very warm air against very cold air)develops a kind of electricity “static electricity”.Its charges produce lightning and thunder.(71) Thus olence of the thunderstorm is an almost direct result of millions of warm drops being thrown into compatable masses of ice crystals-hitting them,ing over them,melting them,or being frozen by them into snow or hail.Exactly how the electric charge is developed by the many and complex forces s battle of heat and cold is still a matter of opinion.Some scientists think tion of wind against the rain is the principal factor.(72) These scientists e the wind tears off the outer surface of each falling drops,like pulling ter over a child's head,making a fine nagative charge while leaving the main f the raindrop positive. Other scientists believe that the friction of snow ls breaking in the wind sets up the electrical charge.In reality it may well be all these factors-and more-that combine to do the work.(73) In any case,huge masses of electrically charged raindrops and ones become sorted into positive and negative reserves of electrical energy ferent parts of the thundercloud,creating between them fields of very greates. When the resistance between these fields breaks down,the energy that is suddenly discharged is lightning.I do not know of any case of lightning directly causing an airplane ent,Cattle and sheep are more likely to be struck by lightning than are nes or houses.There is a recorded case that occurred on a mountainside in stern part of the United States in which one bolt of lightning killed 835 (74) Evidently the hard,dry earth offered more resistance to the lightning he route of traveling from the ground,up one leg of an animal,through its moist body,and down another leg.A person's chances of being killed by a thunderstorm are not very great.In United States an average of one person in 265000 dies as a result of a rstorm.Today's houses,ships,airplanes,and electric power lines are well cted against lightning,and the risk is decreasing.Even a man whose work s him almost daily to lightning can do something about it.(75) Despite the that one never knows if lightning strikes him,a person can sometimes feel he bolt coming and,if quick enough,take protective action in time.Part V Writing (15 points)Directions:t the following table and analyze what types of library materials are neededby different people.Materials used at public libraryBased on library visitors aged 18 and older.关于在职人员申请硕士研究生学位英语模拟试题(5)请查看共享天下考研论坛上一篇:哈尔滨工程大学20XX 年数据结构考研笔记 下一篇:在职人员申请硕士研究生学位英语模拟试题(4)[推荐] [返回顶部] [打印本页] [关闭窗口]。

for use as an symbol or as a kind of signaling device.Flags are most commonly displayed hanging free from a staff,pole,or rope,to which they are attached along oneedge.Depending on their form and function,flags are variously known as standards, banners, ensigns, or pennants.The best-known type of flag is that used for identification,such as the flag of a country or flags that distinguish governmental subdivisions,officials,agencies,and services;military units;classes of yachts and yacht clubs;and various other types of organizations and institutions.Some flags convey information,such as those giving notice of an upcoming storm,or as in signaling from one location to another.Flags sometimes also serve as trophies of achievement or victory in athletic contests.Flags have been used as symbols of tribal,national,and military identity since ancient times.The first flags were probably used by the ancient Chinese and Indians.It is recorded that a white flag was carried in front of the founder of the Chou dynasty.In ancient India,flags were carried on chariots and elephants.Both Chinese and Indian flags may have developed from the streamers attached by the ancient Egyptians to poles crowned with symbolic figures.Frequent mention of flags is made in the Bible.Medieval flags took various forms.The standard was the largest;it was used to indicate the presence of an important personage at various occasions,before a battle,at a match,or during a ceremony.Standards used by the nobility(贵族)bore the personal symbol of their owner.Banners also bore the owner's personal or family device and were used by nobility.As the nobility developed into a distinct and numerous hereditary class,a wide variety of standards came into being.With the formation of national states and the eventual decline of feudalism(封建社会),national flags became the dominant type of standard.41.How many major functions of the flag does the passage mention?A.TwoB.OneC.ThreeD.More than five42.The

societies broke into smaller societiesB.more countries won independenceC.flag standards were enrichedD.wars or competitions or ceremonies became more frequentQuestions 46~50 are based on the following passage.Acid rain,which is a form of air pollution,currently becomes a subject of great debate because of widespread environmental damage for which it has been blamed.It forms when oxides of sulfur(硫)and nitrogen(氮)combine with atmospheric moisture to yield sulfuric and nitric acids,which may then be carried long distances from their source before they drop in the form of rain.The pollution may also take the form of snow or fog or fall down in dry forms.In fact,although the term“acid rain”has been in use for more than a century-it is derived from atmospheric studies that were made in the region ofManchester,England-the more accurate scientific term would be“acid deposition.”The dry form of such deposition is just as damaging to the environment as the liquid form.The problem of acid rain originated with the Industrial Revolution,and it has been growing ever since.The severity of its effects has long been recognized in local settings,as exemplified by the spells of acid smog in heavily industrialized areas.The widespreaddestructiveness of acid rain,however,has become evident only in recent decades.One large area that has been studied extensively is northern Europe,where acid rain has eroded structures,injured crops and forests,and threatened life in freshwater lakes.In 1984,for example,environmental reports indicated that almost half of the trees in Germany's Black Forest had been damaged by acid rain.The northeastern United States and eastern Canada have also been particularly affected by this form of pollution;damage has also been detected in other areas of these countries and other regions of the world.Industrial emissions have been blamed as the major cause of acid rain.Because the chemical reactions involved in the production of acid rain in the atmosphere are complex and as yet little understood,industries have tended to challenge such assessments and to stress the need for further studies;and because of the cost of pollutionreduction,governments have tended to support this attitude.Studies released by the government in the early 1980s,however,strongly indicated industries as the main source of acid rain,in the eastern and Canada.46.From the first sentence of the passage,we learn that _____ .A.acid rain has caused air pollutionB.acid rain has caused widespread environmental damageC.acid rain has become a much studied subjectD.acid rain travels in all directions before it rains down47.Acid fog _____ .A.falls down when the atmosphere is moistB.is not as frequent as acid rainC.often falls in the region of Manchester,EnglandD.is as damaging as acid rain48.The second paragraph is mainly about _____ .A.the origin of acid rainB.the cause of acid rainC.the formation of acid rainD.the widespread damage of acid rain49.Why is acid rain little understood?A.Because it is a new phenomenon.B.Because it is not frequent enough.C.Because its formation is complex.D.Because it is difficult to study it.ernments _____ .A.deny that industries causes acid rainB.admit that they are only partly responsibleC.claim that they are the main sources of pollutionD.think that the cause of acid rain needs further studyuestions 51~55 are based on the following passage.Direct advertising includes all forms of salesappeals,mailed,delivered,or exhibited directly to the prospective buyer of an advertised product or service,withour use of any indirect medium,such as newspapers or television.Direct advertising logically may be divided into three broad classifications,namely,direct mail advertising,mail order advertising,and unmailed direct advertising.All forms of sales appeals that are sent through the mails are considered direct mail advertising.The chief functions of direct mail advertising are to familiarize prospective buyers with a product,its name,its maker,and its merits and with the product's local distributors.The direct mail appeal is designed also to support the sales activities of retailers(零售商)by encouraging the continued patronage(光顾)of both old and new customers.When no personal selling is involved,other methods are needed to persuade people to send in orders by mail.In addition to newspapers,magazines,radio,and television,other special devices,order promotions are designed to accomplish a complete selling job without salespeople.Used for the same broad purposes as direct mail advertising,unmailed direct advertising includes all forms of indoor advertising displays and all printed sales appeals distributed from door to door,handed to customers in retail stores or conveyed in some other manner directly to the recipient.With each medium competing keenly for its share of the business,advertising agencies continue to develop new techniques for displaying and selling wares and services.Among these techniques have been vastly improved printing and reproduction methods in the graphic field,adapted to magazine advertisements and to direct mail enclosures;the use of color in newspaper advertisements and in television;and outdoor signboards more attractively designed and efficiently lighted.Many subtly effective improvements are suggested by advertising research.51.Direct advertising _____ .A.includes all forms of sales appeals to the prospective buyerB.is produced mainly for newspaper or televisionC.is an activity by which real products are shown to buyerses post as a chief means to contact prospective buyers52.Direct mail advertising _____ .es letters as a chief means of providing informationB.sends old customers detailed information about new productses letters to tell prospective buyers about the local sellersD.sends over the prospective buyers sample products by parcels53.The word“prospective”in the first sentence of the pass age means_____ .A.would beB.prosperousC.richD.old54.The chief function of unmailed advertising is _____ .A.to send sample products from door to doorB.to familiarise the customers with the productsC.to deliver the products directly to the retail storesD.to send information about the products in quick ways55.From the last paragraph we learn _____ .A.direct advertising is the best way to promote a productpanies are trying to find the best way to sell their productsC.advertising is becoming enriched by the research in this areaD.old ways of advertising is giving ways to new ways of doing itQuestions 56~60 are based on the following passage.Aging,in biology,refers to a combination of changes in an organism that appear to occur inevitably and irreversibly with the passage of time,eventually resulting in death.The process of human aging must also be considered in the context of complex and changing societies.The ways in which people age are not entirely fixed by biology;they are also affected by individual environmental and social circumstances.Consequently,aging is increasingly being studied as a process that includes psychosocial and cultural components;in addition,the subject is being extended to include the entire course of life,rather than being restricted to the period of old age.Knowledge gained through the work of social and behavioral scientists is helping to dismiss some myths about the inevitability of the aging process.For example,one myth is that intelligence peaks in adolescence and then decline.Because the aging process is not unalterable,behavioral researchers are seeking ways in which it can be modified.For example,certain memory aiding strategies have been found to help reverse the short term memory loss experienced by some oldpeople.Nursing home arrangements to promote independent behavior have been found to bring patients to better levels of functioning.Relatively simple,research tested changes in food flavorings have been found to solve nutritional problems that result from age related declines in the senses of taste and smell.Also,artificial aids are being improved to meet the visual and hearing problems of later life.56.Why must aging be considered in the context of society?A.Because the society is more complex than biological environment.B.Because the society is changing faster than the physicalenvironment.C.Because the society plays a major role in the aging process.D.Because aging is also much affected by environmental factors.57.Which of the following is NOT true of the present study of the agingprocess?A.It mainly involves the study of changes in an organism that leadto death.B.It now studies the aging process as a lifelong progress towardsdeath.C.It is considered as part of the psychological and culturalcomponents.D.It is seeking ways to counteract the aging process to help peoplein need.58.The belief that intelligence declines as one grows older _____ .A.is proved to have no biological basisB.is proved to have its biological basisC.turns out to be a partial viewD.turns out to have psychological basis59.It is true from the last paragraph that _____ .A.it is now possible to change the aging processB.ways can be found to modify the aging processC.nurses can help old people lengthen their livesD.short term memory can be made longer by some training60.The objective of memory aiding strategies is to help people _____ .A.to recover their memory powerB.to improve their short memoryC.to exercise short memoryD.to make shorter memory longerQuestion 61~65 are based on the following passage.Marshall Field's,a department store in Chicago,has long used themotto:“Give the lady what she wants.”Finding out what the customer wants is one of the problems marketing research tries to solve.Marketing research has been defined as trying to analyze marketing problems scientifically.It studies people as buyers and sellers,examining their habits,attitudes,preferences,dislikes,and purchasing power.It often studies specific groups of people,such as teenagers,high income groups,or senior citizens.Marketing research also investigates distribution systems,pricing,promotion,product design,packaging,brand names,and almost every aspect of the seller buyer relationship.Marketing research is divided into a number ofsubareas.Advertising research attempts to find out the effectiveness of advertising.It also seeks to learn the best media for advertising specific products:television,newspapers,radio,magazines,billboards,and others.Market analysis tries to identify and measure markets for specific products and to estimate sales potential.Markets may be differentiated by population groups or by geography.Some types of clothing are more likely to sell in Florida and California than in the northern Midwest.Some cosmetics will appeal more to black customers than to white customers.Performance analysis helps a company learn how well it is meeting its goals of sales and profits.Product research covers the whole area of new product development.Marketing research is an expensive undertaking,and its costs are built into the prices of products.61.The distribution system aims to _____ .A.sell goods in marketsB.deliver products to different placesC.analyse productsD.produce and sell goods62.As far as advertising is concerned,television _____ .A.is the best medium for direct advertisingB.is the best medium for indirect advertisingC.is a suitable medium only for certain goodsD.is the quickest and cheapest means of advertising63.Sweaters produced for and sold to young women are examples of marketdifferentiation according to _____ .A.age and educationB.population groupC.quality and sizeD.gender and occupation64.Performance analysis and product analysis differ in that _____ .A.the former aims to find out how a goal is met in a more efficientwayB.the former is to find out if the present performance is directedto the goalC.the latter aims to find out how the present product is marketedD.the latter aims to find out whether a product is being sold well65.According to the last paragraph,the cost of marketing research_____ .A.is supplied by the producer and seller togetherB.is met by increasing the price of the productC.is too expensive to be met only by the producerD.is high but the price of the product should be kept lowPart IV Cloze Test(15 minutes,10 points)Directions:There are 20 blanks in the following passage.For each blank there are four choices marked A,B,C

More important than any one theory of mythology,however,was the development of systematic disciplines devoted to the study of new fields such as social and cultural anthropology and the history of religions,scholars were forced to come to terms with myths from earlier historical periods outside the Western tradition,and they began to relate the study of myth to a broader understanding of culture and history.The romantic movement turned to the older Indo European myths as intellectual and cultural scholars tended to view myth as an irreducible form of human expression:For them,myth,as a mode of thinking and perception,possessed prestige equal to or sometimes greater than the rational grasp of reality.Myth had always been part of classical and theological studies in the West,but during and after the Enlightenment,the concern for myth,revived with new intensity,could be detected in almost all the newer university disciplines—anthropology,history,psychology,history of religions,political science,structural current theories of myth emerged from one or more of these disciplines.36.In the first sentence,the word “discipline” is closest in meaningto the word _____ .37.Which of the following is characteristic of the Enlightenment?to all human expression.thinking.study of human culture.understanding of culture and history.38.According to historical evolutionary theory, _____ .reflect an age of ignorance and irrationalityare irreducible form of human expressionpossess prestige equal to the rational grasp of realityare based on stories though seemingly irrational39.When scholars began to study myths from other cultures, _____ .found myths were rational storiesgot a better understanding of mythsfound they were better than Western mythsbegan to understand human culture and history40.Before the Enlightenment,the study of myths was closely relatedwith _____ .Questions 41~45 are based on the following passage.Rising energy costs increase operating costs drastically for many older air-conditioning systems in large buildings,causing owners to seek help. In some cases,existing equipment must be replaced completely with more efficient new systems. Most of the time,however,the old system can be reengineered,with some new components replacing older ones.Often engineers achieve large energy savings by reviewing operations,making adjustments so that the system operates according to original design,and setting up a program of careful maintenance. A single dirty filter or slipping fan belt does not in itself waste much energy. But many such problems in a large system add up to large efficiency losses.Engineers also make changes to reduce the resistance to air flow in ducts(导管),grills,and resistance results in less energy needed to drive the fan or pump,and sometimes a lower horsepower fan can be used.Turning down the entire system is another way to save energy. Without seriously affecting the comfort of living,the engineer can reduce the extent to which the air is heated or cooled.Each type of large-building system presents engineers with its own unique set of problems. For example,the single-duct-single-zone system which is probably the most common supplies air at a constant temperature to one complete zone, or area of a building or to the entire structure all at once. Because it is not easy to control zones,this system wastes energy by heating or cooling unoccupied rooms.The terminal reheat system allows for better zone has a heating coil in each branch duct to zones of similar this system energy is used twice,first to cool the air,then to reheat it. Two improved systems multi-zone and dual duct have better zoning capabilities but still waste energy.In variable air volume(VAV)systems,a central unit supplies cooled or heated air at constant,controllable temperatures to VAV boxes for each boxes vary the quantity rather than the temperature of the air. This mode of operation is energy efficient because no air is heated or cooled beyond need. In structures where zoned air conditioning is required, engineers selecting systems often choose VAV for its energy efficiency without even considering other systems.41.By saying“…the old system can be reengineered…”(In the firstparagraph),the author means _____ .old system can be replaced with a more efficient new systemparts in the old system can be replaced by new onesfaulty parts can be repaired or improvedold system can be improved through better maintenance42.Energy may be saved by all the following except _____ .cleaning the dirty partsthe slipping fan beltthe resistance to air flowthe original design greatly43.The single-duct-single-zone system wastes energy _____ .it has to cool unnecessary parts of the roomit supplies air at a constant temperatureit has to be used to heat large buildingsit is too old-fashioned44.What is the disadvantage of the terminal reheat system?allows for better zone control.uses energy twice.has to cool heated air.has a heating coil in each branch duct.45.Which of the following air-conditioning systems is highlyrecommended by the author?VAV system.terminal reheat system.single-duct-single-zone system.large-building system.Questions 46~50 are based on the following passage.In our society the unwritten rules of communication discourage the direct expression of most the number of genuine emotional expressions you hear over a two-day or three-day period and you'll discover that emotional expressions are are generally comfortable making statements of fact and often delight in expressing their opinions,but they rarely disclose how they feel.Not surprisingly,the emotions that people do share directly are usually example, one study of married couples revealed that the partners shared flattering feelings of facesaving also willingly disclosed both positive and negative feelings about absent third the other hand,the husbands and wives rarely expressed face-threatening feelings of hostility.Surprisingly,social rules even discourage too much expression of positive hug and kiss for Mother is all right,though a young man should shake hands with toward friends becomes less and less frequent as we grow older,so that even a simple statement such as “I like you” is seldom heard between adults.A review of research on emotional expression supports the cultural stereotype(典型)of the nonemotional male and the more emotional a group,women are more likely than men to express their are better at distinguishing between related feelings such as liking and loving,and they are more likely to have more affectionate relationships than course,these gender(性别)differences are statistical average,and there are many men and women who do not fall into these types.46.Why do people rarely express their feelings?they would not feel comfortable doing so.they like facts better.they think personal feeling would distort facts.they seldom have positive feelings.47.Which of the following utterances expresses a face-threateningfeeling?are not doing well this time,but you will be OK.always phones her boyfriend at work.seldom have time even talking to me.look pretty did you get that sweater.48.The traditional view holds that _____ .become more silent when they grow oldeven seldom express positive feelings to othersare better at expressing their feelings than womenare better at expressing their feelings than men49.Which of the following is true according to the passage?women are better at recognizing feelings than men.men are better at recognizing feelings than women.average men do not like women.men are better at expressing themselves than women.50.When people grow older, _____ .are better at expressing their feelingsexpress positive feelings only to their spousesoften try to stay away from friendshide their feelings betterQuestions 51~55 are based on the following passage.The director makes all artistic or creative decisions and is responsible for the harmonious(和谐的)unity of a director,usually in cooperation with the designers (and perhaps the producer),determines a concept,motif,or interpretation for the script(剧本)or scenario;selects a cast(演员),rehearses(排练)them;and usually has a deciding role in scenery, costumes, lights, and sound. Movement,timing,pacing,and visual and aural effects are all determined by the director;what the audience finally sees is the director's the time of the ancient Greeks until the 17th century this role was generally fulfilled by the playwriter,and from the 17th to the end of the 19th century directing was the function of the leading actor of a such conditions,however,ensemble(剧团)performance was rare.The concept of the modern director can be traced to the 18th century English actormanager David Garrick,although George II is generally referred to as the first director;touring Europe with his theater company in the 1870s and '80s,he exercised absolute control over all aspects of the 20th century there has been a tendency for directors to use a script simply as a starting point for their own theatrical visions,resulting i n productions often called“theatricalist.”Such productions often achieve clarification or emphasis of themes or images in the text,sometimes—admittedly—at the expense of the integrity(完整性)of the well known directors of this type were Vsevolod Meyerhold,Max Reinhardt,Jean Louis Barrault,and,more recently,Peter Brook,Peter Stein,and Tom O'Horgan.The director usually selects the cast through auditions(试听)in which performers read sections of the script to be produced,present prepared scenes or speeches,or,when appropriate, sing and dance. The director of a musical production is aided in the auditioning process by the musical director and the auditioning is acknowledged to be a bad method,it does allow the director to judge the talents and qualities of potential performers. Actors may also be hired on the basis of reputation,recommendation of agents,or simply for physical appropriateness.51.By saying that“what the audience sees is the director'svision”(In the third sentence of the first paragraph),the author means that _____ .play is a reflection of its director's idea about itcast have to perform within the limits set by the directorcast to have to say what the director tells themscenery of the play is determined by the director52.The “theatricalist”pr oduction of a play is one _____ .keeps closely to the original scriptis traced to the 18th century theatreuses the script only as a basishas long been a tradition in film production53.Auditioning is a process _____ .which the cast rehearse themselveswhich the cast show their talentswhich the director trains the castwhich the director hires cast54.According to the last sentence,the selection of actors is NOT basedon _____ .they are famous enoughthey are introduced by a famous agentthey are pretty or handsome enoughtheir appearance matches that of the characters in the play55.What is the passage mainly about?film production.selection of cast.role of the director.changes in film production.Question 56~60 are based on the following passage.Fire worship is a religious devotion to fire as a sacred sun worship,from which it cannot always be distinguished,the worship of fire is one of the earliest forms of flame itself may be the object of admiration,or it may be regarded as the material manifestation of a divinity(神)or fire spirit.In almost every mythology there is an account of the way fire was brought to Greek legend,the Titan Prometheus is said to have stolen the precious flame from Mount Olympus,the home of the legend among the Polynesian Cook Islanders of the South Pacific describes the descent of the culture hero Maui to the underworld,where he learned the art of making fire by rubbing two sticks Semitic peoples appeased the fire god Moloch with the sacrifice of their firstborn children,and ritual(仪式的)offerings to fire gods were made by the Egyptians and other peoples of the ancient world.Fire worship occupied a central position in the religious rites of the early Indo European the early Hindus,sacrifice to the fire was one of the first acts of morning devotion,and the hymns(颂歌)addressed to the fire god Agni outnumbered those in praise of any other worship also was generally practiced among the ancient Slavic peoples.The worship of fire had its fullest development,however,in ancient Persia,where from earliest times the ritual keeping of the flamewas the chief characteristic of the Zoroastrian was believed to be the earthly manifestation of the Divine,the heavenly conquest of Persia by the Muslims was symbolized by the putting out of the holy flame in the Persian temples.Closely associated with fire worship is the religious ceremony of fire by many peoples in all ages,it is still performed inTahitl,Trinidad,Mauritius,the Fiji Islands,India,and ceremony involves stepping,barefoot,across large stones that have been heated upon a bed of burning explanations,none of them altogether satisfactory,have been offered to explain why fire walkers apparently suffer no burns or times,particularly in India,the rite is said to have involved passing through the flames,rather than walking upon authorities believe that participants may have been able to walk through the flames without being touched by them.56.According to the first paragraph,which of the following is thereason that people worship fire?it comes from the sun.it is often used in religious rites.it is believed to be holy.it provides warmth to people.57.The Semitic people _____ .the lives of their first children to fire godtheir firstborn children in their ritestheir firstborn children were given to them by fire godtheir first born children as sacred beings58.Among the early Hindus, _____ .of their songs were sung in praise of fire godof their holy songs was composed to praise fire godof their children to fire god was made early in the morningwere more than one fire gods to worship59.In the history of fire worship,among what people(s) was it mostpopular?Semitic peoples.ancient Persians.ancient Greeks.early Hindus.60.Fire walking _____ .believed to be possible because the walkers are not touched by the flame of the firea way of worshipping fire god in ritual ceremonies in ancient Indiaa religious ceremony among some peoples which is yet littleunderstoodnot as popular among the ancient Indians as it was among the ancient JapaneseQuestions 61~65 are based upon the following passage.Equipment for camping has progressed greatly since post-World War Ⅱ. Campers travelled into the woods with canvas tents,wool-filled sleeping bags,and woven pack baskets. Today, experienced campers may carry such items as lightweight aluminum-frame packs,1-kg nylon tents,down-filled sleeping bags,and tiny camp stoves.Proper clothing,lightweight but warm and worn in layers,is essential,regardless of where the person cold weather,a camper may wear a pair of lug-soled hiking boots ,wool socks,underwear consisting of a warm undershirt ,wool trousers,a cotton shirt, and a down-filled jacket,to protect against cold camper may always discard layers of such clothing if too warm.A wide range of equipment for shelter and sleep is available for modern made of nylon are generally preferred,as they will protect the camper from the most hostile size and design depend on the number of people in the camping group and on the type of climate and ground in the camping area.

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C and D.You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.Questions 36~40 are based on the following passage.It is an everyday observation that animals are born,grow,and mature then begin to lose some of their capabilities, and finally die. This loss of capabilities is progressive, irreversible(不可改变的) ,and common for all members of a species and is called aging.In humans it shows in many ways,some very visible:decline in height,shrinkage of muscle, thinning and graying of hair, and wrinkling of skin.Internally, and even more significantly, there is the progressive loss of cells in the brain, kidneys, and other vital organs.This cell loss has resulted in stoppage of a vital process. Whatever the reason,important tissues ranging from the muscles to the brain shrink and become less competent with age.Many of these changes are reflected in functional declines.Not only do nerve cells at levels from the brain to the spinal cord diminish, but also those that remain conduct impulses at a slower rate so that the reaction time of the older animal is slowed.Memory often shows a decline.Another widespread decline is in the loss of cells involved in thehearing process.The loss is most marked for high pitches and may require the assistance of a battery-operated hearing aid.More subtle are such declines as those in the processes involved with being immune to disease, which result in a lessened ability of the older organism to cope with infection.Indeed,pneumonia(肺炎) is one of the most common causes of death among the elderly population of most nations.Mixed with true aging processes are disease processes that may be so common as to be mistaken for aging.For instance, the buildup of deposits of fatty materials in arteries (动脉) tends to be progressive with aging; everything else being equal,the narrowing of arteries results in such serious illnesses as stroke or heart attack,occurring with increasing frequency as an individual ages.It is now recognized that atherosclerosis (动脉硬化) is the result of many factors,not only genetic but also environmental high blood pressure,high saturated-fat diets,and smoking, the effects of which become more obvious with the passage of time .It is therefore an age related,but not a universal aging process and can thus usually be controlled.36.As far as aging is concerned, _____ .A.the changes inside human body are more important than externalchangesB.the loss of competence is more significant than that of cellsC.the shrinkage of muscles is more significant than the decline inheightD.the thinning of hair is less important than the wrinkling of skin37.Which of the following is a functional decline?A.The reduction in brain nerve cells.B.The decline in memory.C.The loss of cells in hearing process.D.The shrinkage in muscle tissue.38.Pneumonia is closely related to _____ .A.the decline in cells of the spinal chordB.the slower rate of reactionC.the decline in the immune systemD.the loss of cells in kidneys39.It is agreed that a person is more likely to suffer fromatherosclerosis _____ .A.as he becomes olderB.if his immune system does not work properlyC.when the cells of his brain and spinal chord declineD.when the cells in his kidneys decline in number40.Which of the following statements about atherosclerosis is NOT true?A.If a parent suffers from it, it is most likely that the child alsodoes.B.If a person has high blood pressure, he is more likely tocontract(患)it.C.If a person smokes,he is most likely to contract it.D.If the environmental factors are properly controlled,it will beprevented.Questions 41~45 are based on the following passage.A report of a “shooting” created a major stir and a minor mystery yesterday afternoon when police cars and emergency vehicles gathered on the 1000 block of Anta Barbara Street.After questioning numerous witnesses,officers reconstructed this chain of events,according to Sergeant Nick Katzenstein.About 2 p.m. an elderly man was walking along the sidewalk when he came upon three young women sitting on a wall next to a market. One of the women-boyish looking with short hair-was showing the others something that looked like a puncture mark on her upper arm.The man said,“are you all right?”but got no answer.So he continued on until he met a woman friend and told her that a boy near the market was getting a shot. The woman misunderstood.She telephoned police and reported that a boy was being shot.That brought several officers in police cars, firemen in a rescue truck and doctors in an ambulance with siren blaring to the scene.Officers couldn t find either a victim or the woman who had reported the shooting.They questioned the three young women sitting on the wall. An auto had backfired (回火) in the parking lot,one of the threerecalled .Perhaps that was the “shot”.Several other people were questioned,but none could shed light on the shooting.Finally officers found the woman who had made the report. She directed them to the “boy” on the wall, who then recalled having showed her friends a newly received “shot” (注射) on her arm as the elderly man was walking past.41.The “shooting” reported yesterday _____ .A.went unnoticedB.caused great troubleC.attracted public attentionD.caused great tension42.Why did the man ask the “boy”:“Are you all right?”A.Because the “boy” told the other two girls that she was shoton the arm.B.Because he saw the “boy” looked pale when he went past.C.Because he heard a shot and saw a mark on the “boy's” arm.D.Because the “boy” showed him a puncture mark on her arm.43.When the police asked other people on the scene, _____ .A.they remembered there was a backfire from a carB.they said they did not remember any shotC.they told the police to ask the three girlsD.they remembered the old man had said something44.It turned out what was considered as a shot was _____ .A.fired by a gun in the parking lotB.a story made up by the old manC.a story made up by the womanD.a loud sound given out by a car45.The passage is _____ .A.a news reportB.an newspaper commentaryC.an essayD.a humorous storyQuestions 46~50 are based on the following passage.The 15th and 16th centuries were a period of radicalsocial,political,and intellectual developments. The explorations of the world; the Reformation, with its emphasis on individual faith; the rise of commercial urban society; and the dramatic appearance of new ideas in all areas of culture stimulated the development of a new philosophical world view. The medieval view of the world as a hierarchical (层次的) order of beings created and governed by God was replaced by the mechanistic picture of the world as a vast machine, the parts of which move according to strict physical laws, without purpose or will. The aim of human life was no longer looked on as preparation for salvation (拯救) in the next world, but rather as the satisfaction of people's naturaldesires. Political organizations and moral principles ceased to be regarded as reflections of God's command and came to be seen as practical devices created by humans. In this new philosophical view, experience and reason became the sole standards of truth.The first great spokesman for the new philosophy was the English philosopher and statesman Francis Bacon, who attacked reliance on authority and verbal argument and criticized Aristotlian (亚里士多德的) logic as useless for the discovery of new laws. Bacon called for a new scientific method based on inductive generalization from careful observation and experiment. He was the first to formulate rules of inductive inference.The work of Italian physicist and astronomer Galileo was of evengreater importance in the development of a new world view. Galileo brought attention to the importance of applying mathematics to the formulation of scientific laws. This he accomplished by creating the science of mechanics, which applied the principles of geometry to the motions of bodies. The success of mechanics in discovering reliable and useful laws of nature suggested to Galileo and to later scientists that all nature is designed according to mechanical laws.46.The new philosophical world view was that _____ .A.the world was hierarchical with man at the bottomB.the world was a hierarchical order of beings created and governedby GodC.the world was built on strict mechanical physical lawsD.the world was a giant machine which man was unwilling to build47.Before the 15th and 16th century, moral principles _____ .A.were stricter than lawsB.were looked on as God's ordersC.were seen as practical devicesD.were regarded as people's natural desires48.What was the first step in the new philosophy?A.Inference.B.Generalization.C.Authority and verbal argument.D.Observation and experiment.49.According to the new philosophy, truth should be judged by _____ .A.moral standardsB.its practicalityC.experience and reasonD.all of the above50.Galileo _____ .A.brought people's attention to mathematicsB.was the greatest contributor to the new world viewC.formulated reliable and useful laws of natureD.applied geometry to the motions of starsQuestions 51~55 are based on the following passage.The first contests resembling the World Series were held during the 1880s, when the leading baseball clubs of the two major leagues-the National League and the American Association-agreed to play in exhibition games following their regular seasons.The name “World Championship Series” arose during this period,when promoters and journalists soughtto arouse interest among fans.These championship series were often unsuccessful,marked by disorganization,weak fan support,and disputes among baseball clubs.The series was not held every year and ended completely after the 1891 season, when the American Association broke up. The American League was founded in 1901 and became the chief competitor of the National League.The first World Series was held in 1903,when Barney Dreyfuss,owner of the NL champion Pittsburgh Pirates,challenged Henry Killilea,owner of the AL champion Boston Pilgrims,to a best of nine game series.The first game was played in Boston , Massachusetts,on October 1,before a crowd of more than 16000 fans.The 1903 World Series was a tremendous success.Thousands of fans attended every game,traveling by train between the two cities, and the players responded with exciting performances.The following year, however,the series was not held.In 1904 the Boston Pilgrims were scheduled to play the New York Giants.But Giants owner John T.Brush and manager John J.McGraw had quarreled repeatedly with the founder and president of the American League, Ban Johnson.As a result, the Giants refused to play. Public criticism was so great that the Giants, who were again NL champions the next year,agreed to play the AL champion Philadelphia Athletics in the 1905 World Series.The two leagues created an agreement that became the foundation for modern World Series competition.The Giants won the series in five games.The most famous World Series in history took place in 1919,when the Cincinnati Reds beat the Chicago White Sox in eight games.The following year,seven White Sox players were accused of fixing,or intentionally losing, the series in return for bribes from professional gamblers.The seven players were banned from baseball for life. Buck Weaver, who did not take a bribe,was banned because he knew of the fix and did not report it.

At benched shows, before and after judging, the dogs are displayed to the public on benches or platforms set up in individual stalls. At unbenched shows the dogs are exhibited in judging rings and around the grounds of the event. In all dog shows, the breeds are divided into seven groups-sporting,hound, working, herding, terrier, toy, and nonsporting.The standards for judging the entries differ with eachbreed. Typical criteria include shape of head, placement of ears,color, gait, and texture of coat. Dogs entered in a particular class are taken into the judging ring by their owners or handlers.After the dogs have been gaited, or walked at different speeds, and examined by the judge, they are placed in classes. The dogs placed first in each of the classes compete for winners, who receive points toward their championship based on the number of dogs in their particular breed that have been in competition at the show. To become an official AKC show champion, a dog must accumulate 15 championship points under at least three different judges. Dogs that attain their championships are entitled to have the two letters “Ch”carried be fore their name.Following the judging of the winners,classes, dogs that already have won their championship compete, along with the winners for best of breed and best of opposite sex. Each best of breed competes in its respective group, and the dog placed first in each of the seven groups competes for the award “best in show ,”which is the final judging at any allbreed dog show.56.Benched events in dog shows _____ .e benches during the performance of the dogsB.divide the participant dogs into different breedse platforms for dogs to jump on and off during performanceD.aim to place dogs into different groups57.To become an AKC show champion, a dog _____ .A.has to win at least 45 championship pointsB.has to be placed first in each of the classesC.has to wear the proper kind of coat made by its ownerD.has to win 15 championship points under three different judges58.The letters “Ch”(the last sentence in paragraph 2) most probablystand for _____ .A.championshipB.championC.challengerD.charm59.The last step in an allbreed dog show is _____ .A.to hold the closing ceremonyB.to compete for the award “best in show”C.to compete for an official AKC show championD.to compete for getting a “Ch”before the dog s name60.What is the subject matter of the passage?A.Dog racing.B.Allbreed dog shows.C.Dogs as pets.D.Benched dog shows.Questions 61~65 are based on the following passage.On November 30 a Russian attack destroyed the Turkish fleet at the Black Sea port of Sinope, resulting in a public outcry in Britain and France.In March 1854, after Russia ignored their demand to retreated from Moldavia and Walachia, Britain and France declared war. They were later joined by the Italian kingdom of Sardinia who,needing help in their plans to drive out Austria from the smaller Italian kingdoms, hoped to gain favor with Great Britain and France. On June 3, Austria, to Russia's dismay, threatened to declare war unless Russia retreated its troops from Moldavia and Walachia. Russia complied on August 5,and Austrian troops occupied the territory.The allies then decided on a campaign against Sevastopol in the Crimea, headquarters of Russia's Black Sea Fleet,and their forces landed in the Crimea in September 1854. Despite bloody victories over theRussians at the Alma River, Balaklava, and Inkerman, the war went on, as the Russians refused to accept the allies peace terms. Finally, on September 9,1855,Sevastopol fell, but only after Austria threatened to enter the war did Russia agree to make peace.The Treaty of Paris, signed on March 30,1856,was a major setback for Russia's Middle Eastern policy. Russia was forced to return southern Bessarabia and the mouth of the Danube to Turkey; Moldavia,Walachia, and Serbia were placed under an international rather than a Russian guarantee and the Russians were forbidden to maintain a navy on the Black Sea. In military terms, the war was a tactless, needlessly costly affair. The commanders on both sides proved remarkably unsuitable, wasting lives in senseless engagements. Supply services for both armies were affected by inefficiency and corruption, and medical services were terrible. The British nurse Florence Nightingale won fame by her efforts to improve the care of the sick and wounded, but more men died of disease than in battle.Nevertheless, the war was an event of major significance in European history.61.Why did Italy go to the war?A.Because it wanted to please Britain and France.B.Because it was urged by Britain and France.C.Because Austria forced it to do so.D.Because Russia threatened to invade it.62.When Austria was to declare war _____ .A.Russia retreated its troopsB.Russia felt dismayedC.Moldavia and Walachia gave it their territoriesD.Russia had already been driven out by France and Britain63.In September 1858, Russia accepted the allies's peace terms when_____ .A.Austria went into warB.the allies won over Russia at the Alma RiverC.the allies defeated Russia's Black Sea FleetD.Austria threatened to declare war on it64.According to the Treaty of Paris, _____ .A.Russia retreated its troops completely from the Middle EastB.Russia gave back some land it took from TurkeyC.Russia could keep its fleet on the Black SeaD.Russia promised to give Moldavia permanent peace65.Why did Russia lose the Crimean War?A.Because Austria went into war.B.Because the allies were too strong.C.Because its army commanders were incompetent.D.Because many of its soldiers died of disease.Part IV Cloze Test (15 minutes, 10 points)Directions:There are 20 blanks in the following passage.

Ah, comes the reply, gold transactions are denominated in dollars, and the rise in the price simply reflects the dollar’s fall in terms of other currencies, especially the euro, against which it hit a new low this week. Expressed in euros, the gold price has moved much less. However, there is no iron link, as it were, between the value of the dollar and the value of gold. A rising price of gold, like that of anything else, can reflect an increase in demand as well as a depreciation of its Unit of account. Excerpt 6 This is where gold bulls come in. The fall in the dollar is important, but mainly because as a store of value the dollar stinks. With a few longish rallies, the greenback has been on a downward trend since it came off the gold standard in 1971. Now it is suffering one of its sharper declines. At the margin, extra demand has come from those who think dollars—indeed any money backed by nothing more than promises to keep inflation low—a decidedly risky investment, mainly because America, with the world’s reserve currency, has been able to create and borrow so many of them. The least painful way of repaying those dollars is to make them worthless.7.The main idea of Excerpt 1 is that______.A.human beings began to love gold with the emergence of civilizationB.the ancient Egyptians valued gold for its religious importanceC.king Midas was a person who could turn everything into goldD.king Tutankharnun buried a solid-gold coffin 33 centuries ago正确答案:A解析:根据Excerpt 1内容可知,B项提到古埃及人,C项提到king Midas,D项提到king Tutkankharnun,都说的是某个细节。

About 1 million people in the United States are infected with HIV, which cause AIDS, The number of AIDS cases around the world also continued to grow. In June 1990, the World Health Organization projected that as many as 20 million people worldwide will be infected with the AIDS virus by the year 2000. 【R2】______ The FDA on Jan. 29, 1990, approved a drug called fluconazole for the treatment of AIDS-related conditions. The drug can treat two serious fungal infections common in AIDS patients. A promising experimental drug DDI ran into problems in 1990. In March, researchers at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases announced that six AIDS patients taking the drug had died of severe inflammation of the pancreas. This serious side effect was corroborated by two studies published in May. The researchers noted, however, that most of the side effects occurred at doses much higher than those now given to patients. Preliminary reports also showed that DDI could halt the replication of the AIDS virus and that it might be a useful alternative treatment for patients who could not tolerate the side effects of AZT. 【R3】______ Researchers at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine in Baltimore reported in 1989 that they may have rid a patient of the AIDS virus. The researchers combined AZT treatment with bone marrow(髓)transplantation in a man who had both AIDS and lymphoma, a type of cancer that occurs in the lymph(淋巴腺)nodes. In the transplant procedure, physicians destroyed the man’s bone marrow with radiation and chemotherapy and then gave him healthy bone marrow from a donor. The man, who later died of cancer, was apparently free of the AIDS virus when tested32 days after the transplant. Although this first report of a way to eliminate HIV froma patient’s body seems-promising, experts cautioned that wide use of the technique may be impractical, and that more testing is needed. 【R4】______ The San Francisco Department of Public Health reported in January 1990 that people with AIDS are living longer today, due to improved diagnosis and treatment with AZT. Patients taking the antiviral drug had a median life expectancy of about 21 months after diagnosis, compared with 14 months among those not taking the drug. Some AIDS patients in the San Francisco study had survived eight years after their diagnosis. In June 1990, a National Cancer Institute report showed a sharp increase in the incidence of lymphoma among AIDS patients, presumably because their weakened immune system makes them more susceptible to this kind of cancer. Scientists planned to study whether AZT somehow contributes to the occurrence of lymphoma. 【R5】______ In a report to US President George Bush in April 1990, the National Commission on AIDS, a federal advisory group, compared the government’s AIDS effort to “an orchestra without a conductor. “The commission claimed that the federal government had not led an effective campaign against the disease, and it urged the Bush Administration to establish a national plan to attack the AIDS epidemic. One month later, on March 29, President Bush made his first majorspeech concerning AIDS since he took office. He asked Americans to show compassion toward individuals who are infected with HIV and said that government health agencies were on a “wartime footing”against the disease. Bush also urged congressional approval of a bill that would ban discrimination against AIDS patients. Ryan White, who gained national attention for fighting both AIDS and the prejudice surrounding the disease, died of AIDS on April 8, 1990, at age 18. White came to prominence in 1985, when he successfully fought a legal battle against school officials near Kokomo, Ind. for the right to attend class despite his HIV infection. White eventually became an articulate advocate for children with AIDS. In a statement presented after White’s death, President Bush said, “Ryan’s death reaffirms that we as a people must pledge to continue the fight, his fight, against this dreaded disease. “13.【R1】A.B.C.D.E.正确答案:D解析:本段用数据说明了艾滋病的发展变化趋势。

For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark the corresponding letter with a single bar across the square brackets on your machine-scoring ANSWER SHEET.The year 1,400 opened with more peacefulness than usual in England. Only a few months before, Richard II , weak, wicked, and treacherous—had been deposed, and Henry IV declared king in his stead. But it was only a seeming peacef ulness, lasting for but a little while; for though King Henry proved himself a just and a merciful man—as justice and mercy went with the men of iron of those days—and though he did not care to shed blood needlessly, there were many noble families who had been benefited by King Richard during his reign, and who had lost somewhat of their power and prestige from the coming in of the new king. Among these were a number of great lords who had been degraded from their former titles and estates, from which degradation King Richard had lifted them. They planned to fall upon King Henry and his followers and to massacre them during a great tournament which was being held at Oxford. And they might have succeeded had not one of their own members betrayed them. But Henry did not appear at the lists, whereupon, knowing that he had been lodging at Windsor with only a few attendants, the conspirators marched there against him. In the meantime, the king had been warned of the plot, so that instead of finding him in the royal castle, they discovered through their scouts that he had hurried to London, and that he was marching against them at the head of a considerable army. So nothing was left but fight. One and another, they were all caught and some killed. Those few who found friends faithful and bold enough to afford them shelter dragged those friends down in their own ruin.1.What does the author seem to think of King Henry?A.He was the best king England had ever had.B.He was unfair and cowardly.C.He was just as evil as King Richard.D.He was a better ruler than King Richard.正确答案:D解析:本题可参照第1段。

They argue that viewers, especially children, may learn to see violence as the only way to resolve conflicts.Early experimental researchers compared the play of children who had seen aggressive behavior on television with the play of a control group of children who had watched nonviolent programs. Concern was intensified by findings that indicated a higher level of aggressive play in theviolent-television group. Other researchers attempted to determine whether violent programs simply stimulated higher energy levels in children or actually caused them to learn violent and antisocial behavior. The results of different studies conflicted. Some researchers claimed that televised violence actually had a positive cathartic effect, allowing some viewers to release heightening tensions; these findings, however, were not confirmed in further studies. Other scholars pointed out that both prosocial and antisocial behavior can be learned from television.Social scientists find it especially difficult to assess accurately the subtle, cumulative(累积的)effects of viewing a broad variety of television programs throughout childhood. Distinguishing the possible effects of television from other influences at home and at school is also difficult. Current research suggests that moderately higher levels of antisocial behavior can be traced to television viewing, but further study needs to be done to confirm it.Because of the long-standing tradition in the U.S. of freedom of speech and of the press, the government would probably not attempt to directly limit or censor the appearance of violence on television. Among the networks and producers,pressure from concerned citizens continues to be balanced by the increasing popularity of high-energy action-adventure programs.36.What is the passage mainly about?A. Violence in television programs.B.Levels of violence in action adventure series andcartoons.cational programs for children.D.Researches on television programs.37.Those researchers who believe violence on TV has apositive effect on viewers think that _____ .A.it teaches people not to use violence to resolveconflictsB.it stimulates higher energy levels in childrenC.it helps let out people's undesirable emotionsD.it helps people to fight various social evils beforethem38.A “prosocial”behavior is one _____ .A.that is against the social normB.that meets the expectation of the societyC.that a child shows in communication with peopleD.that can often be shaped by TV programs39.Which of the following statements is TRUE according tothe passage?A.Television viewing leads naturally to antisocialbehavior.B.Violence on television does not help shape violentbehavior in children.C.The effect of violent TV programs on children needsfurther study.D.Both prosocial and antisocial behaviors can be learnedfrom violent programs.40.The last sentence of the passage implies _____ .A.the government will have to ban violence on TV underpublic pressureB.violence in television programs will continue to appearin the futureC.producers and concerned citizens can work together toclean up TV programsD.without violence, action-adventure programs would bemore popularQuestions 41~45 are based on the following passageAt the close of the Mexican War, in 1848, the United States owned vast stretches of territory without local government. All the land now included in New Mexico, Arizona, and California was then unsettled.In 1848, however, gold was discovered in California. Thousands of people, chiefly from the Northern states, joined the gold rush. In a few months some 80 000 of them had settled in the mining region.To maintain order in these settlements, an established government was needed. California asked to be admitted to the Union as a “free state”,one which would not permit slavery. The United States, however, had entered the war with Mexico largely to satisfy the South, since the South wanted new territory which could be divided into slave states.Throughout the South protest meetings were held. The Northern states were equally insistent that slavery should not be extended. All but one Northern state legislature(立法机关) demanded that Congress should ban slavery in the new territory.Civil war seemed unavoidable when Henry Clay offered a compromise, proposing that each side yield something in the dispute. The North should allow New Mexico and Utah to organizeas territories with no mention of slavery and give the South a stronger temporary slave law. The South should accept California as a free state and allow prohibition of slave trade in the District of Columbia. In the boundary dispute between Texas and the federal government, the Santa Fe region was to be offered to New Mexico territory for compensation to Texas. All spring and summer of 1850 a fight over these measures was started in Congress. Clay won the support of influential Union men, including Stephen A. Douglas and Daniel Webster. In Webster's famous Seventh of March speech, he declared that slave labor could never be profitable in New Mexico and that the North would lose nothing by granting this concession(让步). He felt that it was not necessary to ban slavery by law of Congress; it was already excluded by “the law of nature.”After a fight of eight months, Webster and Clay secured the passage of the laws that are known as the Compromise of 1850, or Omnibus Bill. But this measure merely postponed the Civil War for ten years.41.What happened when the Mexican War ended?A.The Civil War started in New Mexico and two other states.B.New Mexico was founded as another new state.C.California was naturally admitted to the Union as a freestate.ernment needed to be established in newly obtainedregions.42.A “free state” was one that _____ .A.did not have an established governmentB.had a well-established governmentC.prohibited the possession of slavesD.supported the Union in the Civil War43.According to the Compromise, California _____ .A.was admitted to the NorthB.became a Southern stateC.should have its own local governmentD.should give some territory to Columbia44.It was mentioned in the passage that Daniel Webster _____ .A.was in favour of slaveryB.objected strongly to slave tradeC.thought it unnecessary to ban slaveryD.supported the Compromise45.What was the significance of the Compromise?A.It marked a turning point in American history.B.It put off the Civil War for a decade.C.It greatly extended America's territory.D.It brought long term peace and unity to the UnitedStates.Questions 46~50 are based on the following passage.The idea of using radio for broadcasting to mass audiences was formed in 1916 by an executive of the American Marconi Company, David Sarnoff. His superiors were doubtful about his idea to “make radio a household utility(事业), [so that] by purchase of a ‘radio music box’, the audience could enjoy lectures, music recitals(演奏会), etc.,”and his proposal was neglected.Four years later the American engineer Frank Conrad, an employee at Westinghouse Electric Corporation, attracted considerable attention when a local newspaper reported on the growing audience listening on crystal radio sets to his evening and weekend amateur broadcasts; a local music store had provided records to play on the Victrola,and Conrad and his family served as disc jockeys(唱片音乐节目广播员). Westinghouse vice president Harry Davis asked Conrad to build a more powerful transmitter in time to announce the outcome of the next U.S. presidential election. Conrad completed hisassignment, and on November 2, 1920, station KDKA in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, broadcast the announcement that Warren G. Harding had been elected president. About 1 000 people heard this first news broadcast.Radio communicated news much faster than did newspapers, and because crystal sets were easy to build and inexpensive, radio expanded rapidly in the following years. To stimulate the sale of radio sets, equipment manufacturers provided transmitting facilities. Singers, comedians, and entire orchestras volunteered their services for publicity. The eventual financial basis of the new industry, however, was still unclear. One group in New York City tried to seek contributions from listeners; others urged that private foundations support radio stations as a public service. In August 1922 the first commercial radio advertisement was broadcast on WEAF (now WNBC) in New York City. In 1926, when about 5 million homes had radios, the Radio Corporation of America (RCA), in cooperation with the American Telephone & Telegraph Company, established the first commercial radio network. In the 1920s radio was established as a new mass medium and a practicable industry, and it became a national forum for news and popular culture.46.The passage is mainly concerned with _____ .A.the invention and uses of radioB.the history of radio broadcastingC.early radio programs for mass audiencesD.the contribution of radio to popular culture47.Who started broadcasting radio programs to mass audience?A.David Sarnoff.B.Frank Conrad.C.Harry Davis.D.Warren G.Harding.48.After 1920, radio expanded rapidly because _____ .A.it had advantages over newspaperB.it was cheaper than newspaperC.people could easily get it in storesD.all of the above49.By saying that “the eventual financial basis of the newindustry was still unclear”, the author means that _____ .A.the listeners would not pay for the broadcastingstationsB.the private foundations were unwilling to support thestationsC.advertising and commercial programs could not raiseenough moneyD.the stations were not sure yet where to get theoperational money50.In 1920s, radio _____ .A.established its status as a new industryB.became a new broadcasting deviceC.began to replace newspaper as the chief mass mediumD.entered every home as a new mediumQuestions 51~55 are based on the following passage.Alaska is the largest of the states in size and the second smallest in population. Nearly everything about this 49th state is big. Its Mount McKinley is higher than any other peak in North America. Its Yukon River is one of the longest navigable waterways in the world. Huge animals still thrive in its open spaces Kodiak.Alaska is a land of spectacular contrasts, smoking volcanoes and frozen tundra(冻原),hot springs and ice floes(浮冰), creeping glaciers(冰川) and virgin forests. This vast, raw, and rough land thrusts a chain of volcanic islands more than a thousand miles southwest into the Bering Sea. Reaching beyondthe International Date Line, the land area originally spanned four time zones. It stretches northward far into the Arctic Circle, and to the south its Panhandle extends for miles between the Pacific Ocean and the Canadian Rockies.The Stars and Stripes have flown over Alaska since March 30, 1867, when the vast land was purchased from Russia for 7.2 million dollars. In 1959 Alaska became the first new state since New Mexico and Arizona had achieved statehood in 1912.The state is so large that it increased the area of the United States by a fifth. Alaska is more than twice the size of Texas. About a third of the vast area is forested, and glaciers cover more than 28 800 square miles. The Malaspina glacier complex is larger than the state of Rhode Island.The name Alaska comes from the Aleut word alaxsxaq, meaning object toward which the action of the sea is directed, that is, the mainland. Its nicknames are the Land of the Midnight Sun and America's Last Frontier.It was once labeled “Seward's folly” and “Seward's icebox” in ridicule of the secretary of state who negotiated the purchase of what was considered a burden.51.Which of the following statements about Alaska is NOTtrue in the United States?A.It has the largest territory.B.It has the highest mountain.C.It has the longest river.D.Its territory is one fifth of the country.52.Which of the following is among the contrasts of the statementioned in the passage?A.Smoking volcanoes and hot spring.B.Expanding ice and primitive forests.C.The Arctic Circle and Bering Sea.D.Volcanic islands and international date line.53.When was Arizona admitted to the U.S.?A.In 1867 when Alaska was bought from Russia.B.47 years before Alaska was.C.Near half a century before Alaska was bought.D.45 years after Alaska was.54.The nickname of the state, “Seward's icebox”, showsthat _____ .A.people considered the purchase worthwhileB.people regarded the purchase as a mistakeC.people were fully impressed by the ice-covered landD.people invented the expression in memory of thepurchaser55.Which of the following might be the best title for thepassage?A.Alaska and Its Unique Physical Features.B.The Purchase of A New State.C.The History of Alaska.D.Alaska, the Last State of the United States. Questions 56~60 are based on the following passage.United States customs law defines an antique(古董) as an object that is more than 100 years old. It is understood, however, that an object must be more than just 20 years old in order to be called an antique. Properly, an antique must also be distinguished by some degree of aesthetic or historic merit. An antique is usually both beautiful and decorative. It may also have additional interest and value because of its relationship to a historical period or to some well-known person. George Washington's teapot and dining room chairs, for example, are more valuable as antiques than are those that belonged to most other 18th-century Americans.Antiques of all kinds are highly valued for theirintrinsic(内在的) beauty, craftsmanship, and quality of design. They may be made of rare materials such as gold or silver, but they may also be made of ordinary materials such as wood or paper.Most antiques are things that were originally used as household furnishings. These include furniture, silver, glass, ceramics, rugs, embroideries, and various kinds of metalware. In museums these objects represent the decorative arts. They are studied and exhibited in ways that are different from the ways in which the fine arts(paintings, prints, and sculpture, for example) are studied and presented.Antiques are studied by cultural and social historians,who see them as direct clues to a people's way of life. Such scholars are less concerned with the beauty of a piece than with its typicality, craftsmanship, and role in the economic and social life of its owners.Washington's teapot and dining room chairs are studied as examples of 18th century pottery andfurniture-making. They are also studied for their roles in daily life at Washington's home, Mount Vernon. Such material culture studies have benefited private collectors greatly because the results have enhanced the associative or relic value of certain objects.56.Why was Washington's teapot more valuable as antiques?A.Because it belonged to the 18th century America.B.Because it had aesthetic and practical value.C.Because Washington was the greatest person.D.Because it played a big role in Washington's life.57.In practice, which of the following is the most importantfeature that makes an object an antique?A.It has to be 100 years old.B.It has to be at least 20 years old.C.It has to be beautiful and decorative.D.It has to have aesthetic or historic value.58.Which of the following is NOT true?A.The rarer material an antique is made of, the morevaluable it is.B.Most antiques belong to the decorative arts.C.An antique may be valuable because of its design.D.Household furnishings are most likely to becomeantiques.59.A social historian is more concerned with an antique's_____ .A.decorative valueB.aesthetic valueC.intrinsic beautyD.practical value60.To a cultural and social scholar, Washington's teapot isvaluable because _____ .A.a great man like Washington could afford expensiveteapotB.it is beautiful and much studied by private collectorsC.it tells people something about how Washington livedD.it is typical of pottery making in Washington's time Question 61~65 are based on the following passage.The best age to begin a serious study of ballet is eight to ten for girls; boys may begin somewhat later. Younger children may be harmed by the strenuous physical demands of a ballet class, and older children gradually lose the flexibility required to attain good turnout. If training is begun after the late teens, it is probably unrealistic to hope for a professional career.All dancers, no matter how experienced or proficient, take daily class to keep their bodies flexible and strong. Most ballet classes begin with exercises at the barre, a roundhorizontal bar that the dancer holds onto for support. These exercises warm up and stretch the muscles, work the tendons(腱) to make them flexible, and loosen the joints. The second part of the class is done without the support of the barre and is called center practice.It usually begins with slow, sustained exercises that develop the dancer's sense of balance and fluidity of movement. Slow exercises are followed by quick movements, beginning with small jumps and progressing to large traveling steps, turns, and leaps. Class generally lasts an hour and a half.As the dancer grows more proficient, the exercises at the barre become more complicated, although based on the same movements taught to beginners. The steps performed in the center become quicker or slower, larger, more complex, and more physically demanding. Eventually dancers go to class not so much to learn new steps as to maintain their performing standards.Some frequently seen positions include the arabesque, in which the dancer extends one leg backward in a straight line, and the attitude, a leg extension forward or back with a bent knee. Turning steps include the pirouette, a turn on one leg with the other leg raised; and the fouett, in which the freeleg whips around to provide impetus for the turns. Among the steps of elevation are the entrechat, in which the dancer jumps straight up and beats the calves of the legs together in midair, and the jet, a leap from one foot onto the other. These steps include many different variations.Besides the basic class, women often attend classes in point work. Men and women learn to dance together in pas de deux, or partnering class. Some ballet schools also teach mime, the conventional hand gestures used to tell the story in older ballets such as Giselle and Swan Lake. These hand gestures have become codified (for instance, an invitation to dance is indicated by circling the hands above the head) and are less realistic than the type of mime popularized by the French pantomimist Marcel Marceau.61.A seven-year-old girl can not learn ballet because _____ .A.she is too young to learn the skills yetB.her body is not strong enoughC.her body is no longer flexibleD.it is unrealistic to hope for a professional career62.One of the objectives of center practice is to _____ .A.make the muscles flexibleB.loosen the jointsC.practice leapsD.keep the body strong63.In the fouett, the dancer _____ .A.turns on one legB.balances herself on one legC.jumps straight upD.extends one leg backward64.In mime, a dancer can use hand gesture _____ .A.to express invitation to danceB.to tell the story of the ballet at the beginningC.to enhance their positionsD.to help increase the turning speed65.It is true that _____ .A.the French ballet is more popular than conventionalballetB.pas de deux is not considered part of basic classC.experienced dancers exercise less often than beginnersD.children usually hold onto the bar to practice untilthey are old enoughPart IV Cloze Test(15 minutes, 10 points)Last night I was driving from Harrisburg to Lewisburg, Pa., a distance of about 80 miles. It was late at one point along an open highway. I came to a 66 with a traffic light. I was alone on the road 67 but as I approached the light, it 68 red, and I braked to a halt. I looked left, right, and behind me. Nothing. Not a car, no suggestion of headlights, but there I sat, 69 the light to change, the only human being, for at least a mile 70 any direction.I started wondering why I refused 71 the light. I was not afraid of being arrested, because there was obviously no cop 72 around and there certainly 73 no danger in going through it.74 later that night, after I'd met with a group in Lewisburg, and 75 bed near midnight, the question of why I'd stopped for that light came back to me. I think I stopped because it's part of a 76 we have,and we trust each other to 77 it: We don't go through red lights.
