Choose the best one and mark the corresponding letter with a single bar across the square brackets on your machine-scoring ANSWER SHEET.Passage oneNow York’s WCBS puts it in a way that just can’t be better expressed: “It was an acc ident waiting to happen”.15-year-old Alexa Longueira was wandering along the street in Staten Island, obliviously tapping text message into her phone as she walked. Distracted by her phone, she failed to notice the open manhole (下水道窨井) in her path, and plunged into it, taking an unprepared bath of raw sewage along with receiving moderate injuries. Longueira called the dive “really gross, shocking and scary.”It’s not all Longueira’s fault. The manhole shouldn’t have been left uncovered and unattended, and no warning signs or hazard cones had been set Protection (DEP), who was preparing to flush the sewage, helped her out, and the department later issued a formal apology for the incident.Nonetheless, observers are harshly divided over who is to blame here. The DEP is certainly at fault for failing t secure the manhole, but to what extent should the girl be held accountable for failure to be aware of her surroundings? If she had stepped into traffic and been hit by a car, would her reaction (that is: anger and a potential lawsuit) be any different?Detachment from one’s environment due to electronic gadgets is a growing problem-and a hazardous one. The government is even trying to get involved, with multiple laws on the books across the country outlawing cell phone use and text messaging while operating a motor vehicle in the wake of serious accidents involving distracted drivers. New York Senator Kruger even tried to criminalize the use of handheld devices (including phones, music players, and game players) by pedestrians while they are crossing streets in major New York cities, due to concerns over the number of auto vs. pedestrian accidents.Following a substantial outcry, that legislation appears never to have been formally introduced. But did Kruger have a point?What interested me, at least, is the end of the story above that Longueira lost a shoe in the sewage. But since other things are not reported as lost, I’m guessing she appears to havemanaged to keep her grip on her phone during the accident.31. By “It was an accident waiting to happen”, New York’s WCBS meant that .A. the accident should have been avoidableB. this kind of accidents happen frequentlyC. somebody was glad to see what would happenD. an open manhole is sure a trap for careless pedestrians32. When the girl fell into the open manhole, she .A. was seriously hurtB. was frightenedC. took a bath in the raw sewageD. cried help to the DEP worker33. According to the author, who was to blame for the accident?A. The girl herselfB. The DEP workerC. Both of themD. Nobody34. According to the passage, which of the following is illegal in the U.S.?A. Talking on a cell phone while drivingB. Text messaging while walking across a streetC. Operating music players while drivingD. Operating game players while walking across a street35. The phrase “in the wake of” (Para.5) is closest in meaning to “ ”A. in view ofB. on condition ofC. as far asD. with regard to36. The author found it funny that the girl had .A. lost a shoe in the sewage in the accidentB. reported nothing lost after the accidentC. got a firm hold of her phone during the accidentD. managed to keep herself upright in the manholePassage TwoAccording to a study, intellectual activities make people eat more than when just resting. This has shed new light on brain food. This finding might also help explain the obesity epidemic of a society in which people often sit.Researchers split 14 university student volunteers into three groups for a 45-minute session of either relaxing in a sitting position, reading and summarizing a text, or completing a series of memory, attention, and alert tests on the computer. After the sessions, the participants were invited to eat as much as they pleased.Though the study involved a very small number of participants, the results were stark. The students who had done the computer tests downed 253 more calories or 29.4 percent more than the couch potatoes. Those who had summarized a text consumed 203 more calories than the resting group.Blood samples taken before, during, and after revealed that intellectual work cause much bigger fluctuations in glucose (葡萄糖) levels than rest periods, perhaps owing to the stress of thinking.The researchers figure the body reacts to these fluctuations by demanding food to restore glucose-the brain’s fuel. Glucose is converted by the body from carbohydrates (碳水化合物) and is supplied to the brain via the bloodstream. The brain cannot make glucose and so needs a constant supply. Brain cells need twice as much energy as other cells in the body.Without exercise to balance the added intake, however, such “brain food” is probably not smart. Various studies in animals have shown that consuming fewer calories overall leads to sharper brains and longer life, and most researchers agree that the findings apply, in general, to humans.And, of course, eating more can make you fat.“Caloric overcompensation following intellectual work, combined with the fa ct that we are less physically active when doing intellectual tasks, could contribute to the obesity epidemic currently observed in industrialized countries,” said lead researcher Jean-Philippe Chaput at Laval University in Quebec City, Canada. “This is a factor that should not be ignored, considering that more and more people hold jobs of an intellectual nature,” the researcher concluded.37. The passage mainly tells us that .A. consuming fewer calories can lead to sharper brainsB. thinking consumed more calories than restingC. resting more can make people fatD. brain cells need more energy than other cells in the body38. It is implied that to avoid obesity, people who have to sit long should .A. think more and eat lessB. increase the intake of vitaminsC. skip some mealsD. eat less potatoes39. The word “stark” in the 3rd paragraph is closest in meaning to “ ”A. negativeB. obscureC. absoluteD. ambiguous40. According to the research, which of the following activities consumed the most calories?A. Relaxing in a sitting positionB. Reading professional booksC. Summarizing a textD. Completing tests on the computer41. According to the passage, eating less may make people .A. smarterB. less intelligentC. more emotionalD. live a shorter life42. One of the reasons for the obesity epidemic currently observed in industrialized countries is that in these countries .A. people take different exercisesB. fewer people watch their weightC. fewer people hold physical jobsD. foods are much cheaperPassage threeOne of the simple pleasures of a lazy summer day is to be able to enjoy a refreshing slice of watermelon either at the beach, at a picnic, or fresh from the farmer’s market. Delicious and nutritious, watermelon is one of those guilt-free foods we can all enjoy: one cup of watermelon packs only about 50 calories! Watermelons are not only cooling treats for when the mercury starts to rise; they are also loaded with healthy nutrients such as vitamin A, vitamin C, lycopene (番茄红素)，and etc. Vitamins A and C and lycopene are antioxidants, which are substances that work to help get rid of the harmful effects of substances.Research has suggested that a diet high in fruits and vegetables that have plenty of antioxidants can reduce the risk of heart disease, some cancers, and some other dangerousdiseases. A cup of watermelon provides 25﹪of the recommended daily value of vitamin C and 6﹪of the recommended daily value of vitamin A. Additionally, researchers have found that lycopene, a nutrient most traditionally associated with tomatoes, is found in equal or greater quantities in watermelon.Watermelons also provide significant amounts of vitamin B6 and vitamin B1, both of which are necessary for energy production. In combination with the minerals and vitamins already described, these B vitamins add to the high nutrient richness of watermelon. Due to its high water content(watermelon is 92﹪water by weight) and low calorie count, watermelon is a good choi ce to satisfy your hunger while you try to eat a healthy diet. Think of them as nature’s answer to the heavily marketed “vitamin water” craze.Beside the textured, watery flesh of the fruit, watermelon seeds are also widely eaten as a snack. They are rich in iron and protein and are often pressed for oil or roasted and seasoned.So if you are planning on dining outdoor this summer, or simply looking for a quick and convenient refreshment to serve to unexpected or reckless children, reach for watermelon. The kids will enjoy its crisp taste and messy juices, the adults will enjoy its refreshing flavors, and everyone will benefit from its nutritious value.43. We don’t feel guilt even if we eat more watermelon because .A. it is deliciousB. it is nutritiousC. it contains low caloriesD. it contains antioxidants44. The phrase “when the mercury starts to rise” (Para.1) probably means “ ”.A. in summer eveningsB. on sunny daysC. when people are thirstyD. when it is getting hot45. How many cups of watermelon can satisfy the daily need for vitamin C?A. 1B. 2C. 3D. 446. By saying “Think of them as nature’s answer to the heavily marketed” vitamin water “craze”, the author means .A. watermelon can take the place of vitaminsB. with watermelon, people don’t have to buy vitamin waterC. natural foods are much better than the manufactured onesD. the vitamin water has been over-advertised47. Watermelon seeds are often .A. fried in oilB. stored for seasonsC. prepared with spiceD. pressed before being cooked48. The best title of the passage is .A. Watermelon-the Most Enjoyable RefreshmentB. The Wonders of WatermelonC. The Nutrients in WatermelonD. Watermelon-the Best Summer Food for ChildrenPassage FourInitial voyages into space introduced questions scientists had never before considered. Could an astronaut swallow food in zero gravity? To keep things simple, astronauts on the Project Mercury ate foods squeezed out of tubes. It was like serving them baby food in a toothpaste container.But these early tube meals were flavorless, and astronauts dropped too many pounds. “Weknow that astronauts have lost weight in every American and Russian manned flight,” wrote NASA scientists Malcolm Smith in 1969. “We don’t know why.” Feeding people in space was not as easy as it looked.Floating around in space isn’t as relaxing as it might sound. Astronauts expend a lot of energy and endure extreme stresses on their bodies. Their dietary requirements are therefore different from those of their gravity-bound counterparts on Earth. For example, they need extra calcium to compensate for bone loss. “A low-salt diet helps slow the process, but there are no refrigerators in space, and salt is often used to help preserve foo ds,” says Vickie Kloeris of NASA. “We have to be very careful of that.”By the Apollo missions, NASA had developed a nutritionally balanced menu with a wide variety of options. Of course, all the items were freeze-dried or heat-treated to kill bacteria, and they didn’t look like regular food.Today, the most elaborate outer-space meals are consumed in the International Space Station (ISS), where astronauts enjoy everything from steak to chocolate cake. The ISS is a joint venture between the U.S. and Russia, and diplomatic guidelines dictate the percentage of food an astronaut must eat from each country. NASA’s food laboratory has 185 different menu items, Russia offers around 100, and when Japan sent up its first crew member in , about 30 dishes came wit h him. Due to dietary restrictions and storage issues, astronauts still can’t eat with whatever they want whenever they feel like it.In , NASA astronaut and ISS crew member Sandra Magnus became the first person to try to cook a meal in space. It took he r over an hour to cook onions and garlic in the space station’s food warmer, but she managed to create a truly delicious dish: grilled tuna(金枪鱼) in a lemon-garlic sauce-eaten from a bag, of course.49. Which of the following is true about the early space meals?A. They had to be eaten from a bag.B. They tasted better than they looked.C. They could not make eating as easy as possible.D. They were not nutritious enough for astronauts.50. It seems that astronauts’ weight loss .A. was an unusual problem among astronautsB. was what puzzled the early scientistsC. caused new problems in space flightsD. drew the attention of the general public51. According to Vickie Kloeris, serving a low-salt diet in space .A. is easier said than doneB. is not absolutely necessaryC. has worked as expectedD. will be the future trend52. In the International Space Station, .A. there is enough space to store enough foods for astronautsB. there is a selection of flavored foods from a dozen countriesC. astronauts in general prefer foods from their own countriesD. astronauts’ need to eat their favorite foods can’t always be met53. It can be learned that Sandra Magnus’ cooking in space .A. left much to be desiredB. wasn’t worth the effortC. was quite satisfactoryD. has inspired the others54. The passage mainly introduces .A. the variety of food options in spaceB. the dietary need of astronauts in spaceC. the problems of living in the space stationD. the improvement of food offered in spacePassage FiveIs it possible to be both fat and fit-not just fit enough to exercise, but fit enough to live as long as someone a lot lighter? Not according to a study from the Harvard School of Public Health which looked at 115,000 nurses aged between 30 and 55. Compared with women who were both thin and active, obese(overweight) but active women had a mortality rate that was 91﹪higher. Though far better than the inactive obese (142% higher), they were still worse off than the inactive lean (5% higher). A similar picture emerged in after researchers examined 39,000 women with an average age of 54. Compared with active women of normal weight, the active but overweight were 54% more likely to develop heart disease.That’s set tled, then. Or is it? Steven Blair, a professor of exercise science at the University of South Carolina, describes the official focus on obesity as an “obsession… and it’s not grounded in solid data”.Blair’s most fascinating study, in the Journal of Ame rican Medical Association in , took 2,600 people aged 60 and above, of various degrees of fatness, and tested their fitness on the exercise device, rather than asking them to quantify it themselves. This is an unusually rigorous approach, he claims. Since many rival surveys ask participants to assess their own fitness, or ignore it as a factor altogether.“There is an ‘association’ between obesity and fitness,” he agrees, “but it is not perfect. As you progress towards overweight, the percentage of individuals who are fit does go down. But here’s a shock: among classⅡobese individuals [with a body mass index between 35 and 39.9], about 40% or 45% are still fit. You simply cannot tell by looking whether someone is fit or not. When we look at these mortality rates in fat people who are fit, we see that the harmful effect of fat just disappears: their death rate during the next decade is half that of the normal weight people who are unfit.”One day-probably about a hundred years from now-this fat-but-fit question will be answered without the shadow of a doubt. In the meantime, is there anything that all the experts agree on? Oh yes: however much your body weighs, you’ll live longer if you move it around a bit.55. It can be learned that the research .A. posed a challenge to the studyB. confirmed the findings of the studyC. solved the problems left behind by the studyD. had a different way of thinking from the study56. Steven Blair probably describes the previous studies as .A. unreliableB. uncreativeC. unrealisticD. untraditional57. The major difference between Blair’s study and the previous research is that .A. Blair excluded the participants’ fitness as a factorB. Blair guessed the participants’ fitness after weighing the mC. Blair required the participants to assess their own fitnessD. Blair evaluated the participants’ fitness through physical tests58. Blair’s study proves that .A. the weight problem should be taken seriouslyB. weight and fitness are strongly connectedC. it is possible to be both fat and fitD. fat people have a higher death rate59. It can be seen from the description of these studies that the author .A. shows no preference for any researcherB. finds no agreement between the researchersC. obviously favors the Blair studyD. obviously favors the Harvard study60. The purpose of writing this passage is to .A. call on people to pay attention to weight problemB. present the different findings of various weight studiesC. compare the strength and weakness of different studiesD. offer suggestions on how to remain fit and live longerPart IV Cloze (15minutes, 15points)Directions: in this part, there is a passage with 15 blanks. For each blank there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D choose the best answer foe each blank and mark the corresponding letter with a single bar across the square brackets on your machine-scoring ANSWER SHEET.Most children with healthy appetites are ready to eat almost anything that is offered to them. A child rarely dislikes food 61 it is badly cooked. The 62 a meal is cooked and served is most important and an 63 served meal will improve a child’s appetite. Never ask a child 64 he likes or dislikes a food and never 65 likes and dislikes in front of him or allow anybody else to do so. If the father says he hates fat meat or the mother 66 vegetables, in the child’s hearing he is 67 to copy this procedure. Take it 68 granted that he likes everything and he probably will. Nothing healthful should be omitted from the meal because of a 69 dislike. At meal times it is a good 70 to give a child a small portion and let him come back for a second helping rather than give him as 71 as he is likely to eat all at once. Do not talk too much to the child during meal times, but let him go on with his food; and do not 72 him to leave the table immediately after a meal or he will soon learn to swallow his food 73 he can hurry back to his toys.

That's because according to new research, which has found a link between our university subjects and our personalities, you have selfish, uncooperative tendencies and are not very in touch with your feelings. On the plus side, you're probably the life and soul of a party, the findings suggest. Researchers analyzed data from more than 13,000 university students who were involved in 12 separate studies. From this, they discovered a correlation between the “Big Five” major personality traits and the subjects they were enrolled on. For example, those studying law, economics, political science and medicine tended to be much more outgoing than those taking other subjects, the study found. But when it came to “agreeableness” -- the tendency towards being helpful, generous and considerate -- the lawyers scored particularly low, as did business and economics students. Arts and。

Fatty foods do more than cause obesity.Trans fats build up in the body and block blood flow to the heart.People whose diet contains a high percentage of trans fats are at risk of developing heart disease or having a stroke.Food companies and restaurants choose to use trans fat oils because they’re cheap and make food last longer.They also improve the taste and texture of food.Trans fats became very popular in the second half of the20th century.This is around the time when butter got a bad name for its cholesterol levels.People were told to use margarine(人造黄油)containing trans fats instead because it was“healthier”,but we now know that butter is actually the healthier option.Today doctors know how dangerous processed foods like margarine can be.In countries such as the US and Canada there are new government restrictions on food production.Food and beverage makers must attach a Nutrition Fact label to their products.These list daily recommendations and detail all the ingredients in a product,trans fats if they’re used.In2007 New York City banned trans fats from all restaurants.Even fast food chains such as McDonald’s are being forced to change their recipes as people become more health-conscious.In Europe,food manufacturers have started using labels that clearly show how healthy each product is according to2022年同等学历申硕学位英语真题及答案a simple rating system.We all need some fat in our diet.There are three different types of fats:saturated fats,trans fats,and unsaturated fats.Doctors recommend that we get most of our fatty calories from unsaturated fats.Neither butter nor margarine fit in this category,though there are some spreads that contain zero trans bels are a good way to avoid eating fatty foods that are dangerous for your health.Another way is to avoid eating out.When shopping for groceries,buy the majority of your goods in the fresh food aisles.21.Trans fats may do the following to the body EXCEPT_____.A.putting on weight.B.raising good cholesterolC.causing heart attackD.blocking blood vessels22.Butter was once not popular because people believed_____.A.it wasn’t worth the priceB.it didn’t make food last longC.it had high cholesterol levelD.it affected the taste of food23.It is not likely to see food with trans fats at restaurants in_____A.AmericaB.CanadaC.EuropeD.New York City24.To cater to health-conscious customers,European food manufacturers_____.A.recommend daily intake of nutrientsB.have abandoned the use of trans fat oilsC.rate the nutrition level of each productD.have adjusted the ingredients in the food25.To eat healthily,people are advised to_____.A.pay attention to the ingredientsB.avoid foods containing fatsC.buy processed and packaged foodD.choose margarine instead of butterPassage TwoWhen you’re a teenager with little life experience,it’s easy to build your entire life around what other people think.It can feel normal to let your friends’idea of what’s cool dictate the clothes you wear,how you behave yourself,and even the music you like.While this pressure is sometimes internal,teenagers are known for making each other feel ashamed if they don’t conform to social norms.And as we all know,young adults can be absolutely brutal in how they treat each other not only those who are different,but even those who try really hard to fit in.Sadly,adulthood isn’t always a whole lot better in this respect.Not only will you experience pressure to look your best,but you’ll be forced to either keep up with or ignore the Joneses all throughout adulthood.That’s right.Even adulthood has its groups of cool kids,rich kids,outsiders, and rebels.And sometimes,the way someone else spends their money can make you feel like you should be doing the same thing,too.After all,most people still want to fit in;it doesn’t matter whether they’re15or50.But,should you give in to peer pressure and waste your hard-earned dollars?The opportunities to spend money as an adult are nearly limitless,but they will drain your bankaccount if you give in every time.And at the end of the day,keeping up with your friends as an adult is just as pointless as it was in high school.Adulthood is a journey,not a race.Those who collect the most material possessions don’t earn a prize—no ribbon,nothing.So,why does it feel like we need to compete?Because every commercial on television,online,and the radio is aimed at getting us to spend our money.Every ad campaign on Earth was created to convince us that what we have is not enough,and that we need this item or that service-and that we’re depriving ourselves or our families if we don’t buy it.Don’t believe the hype(大肆宜传).You have nothing to prove,and you’ll be a lot better off if you ignore the commercials,your friends,and do what is best for you.26.What does the author say about teenagers?A.They try to gain more life experience.B.They are easily influenced by others.C.They prefer to live their own way.D.They show others that they’re mature.27.How may young adults treat each other,according to the passage?A.They may support each other in the face of challenges.B.They may ignore those who don’t join their groups.C.They may fight with each other for opportunities.D.They may be cruel to those who are different.28.It is stated in the passage that most adults_______.A.lead a better life than beforeB.ignore the fashion trendsC.still suffer from peer pressureD.live in constant fear of competition29.Why do adults compete for more material possessions?A.Spending money brings them pleasure.B.Material wealth reflects their social status.mercials encourage their consumption.petition brings out the best in them.30.What is the author’s attitude towards commercials?A.Negative.B.Positive.C.Neutral.D.Objective.Passage ThreePsychology studies reveal that most people taking exercise will choose their preferred sport based on their personality.If someone is introverted(内向的)，patient or calm,they will most likely choose tennis,golf,or a sport where they can practice and play on their own.By contrast, those individuals who are outspoken,competitive or aggressive,will prefer contact sports or team sports.Since a very early age,children are often seen experimenting with different types of sports—soccer,basketball,baseball,swimming,tennis,etc.—until they decide to keep practicing the sport at which they are more skillful and with which they feel more comfortable.They have the character and motivation to train,practice,and even compete in this sport.Here there is a direct relationship between the individual personality and the nature of the sport of their choosing.2022年同等学历申硕学位英语真题及答案Interestingly,participating in a specific type of sport might also have some influence on an individual’s personality.For example,we have recently seen a dramatic increase in obesity among children,teenagers,and adults in the US.This might be caused by a vast array of personal, professional,cultural,or even health problems or conditions.However,it is up to the individual to choose a much healthier regime and therefore,embark on developing a series of new personality traits,which will help him or her lose weight and become a healthier individual.A few decades ago,a sixty-year-old individual might have been considered a very old,fragile, and even a sick person with just a few more years to live a somewhat good,conservative life. Nowadays,we have seen a dramatic change in this perception.More than ever,we are looking at healthier,stronger,and very motivated sixty,seventy,and even eighty-year-old individuals.No doubt sports have helped shape this new personality and approach adopted by the senior population.Exercise and sports most certainly bring a new meaning to their lives,particularly because they live and experience the benefits of exercising on a daily basis.Therefore,their personalities and psychological state are most likely completely different from that sixty-year-old senior stereotype a few decades ago.31.What is the main topic of this passage?A.How to choose the right sport.B.The nature of sports activities.C.Sport and the aging society.D.Personality and sport.32.Individuals will most likely choose a type of sport that___.A.makes them feel most comfortableB.has fewer demands and requirementsC.can make the most of their potentialsD.enables them to compete with others33.How do children practice sports at an early age according to the passage?A.They keep practicing a sport till they are skilled at it.B.They engage in a sport that their parents choose for them.C.They take up any sport without obvious difficulties.D.They try different sports till they find one suitable for them.34.The author mentions the increase in obesity among Americans to___A.illustrate the effect of sports on personalityB.analyze the causes for this social problemC.give some advice on a healthy lifestyleD.highlight the importance of psychological traits35.It is stated in the last paragraph that senior people____A.are often associated with weakness and sicknessB.are living a more meaningful life than beforeC.have some doubt about the value of sportsD.have seen the changes in their own personalityPassage FourIt is hard to imagine humans spending their lives in virtual reality(VR)when the experience amounts to waving your arms about in the middle of the lounge with a device strapped to your face.But this is where humanity is heading.Chalmers,an Australian professor of philosophy and neural science at New York University, makes the case to embrace VR in his new book,Reality+.Renowned for explaining“the hard problem”of consciousness,Chalmers sees technology reaching the point where virtual and physical are sensorily the same and people live good lives in VR.In the decades ahead,Chalmers suspects we will replace the clumsy headsets with brain computer interfaces that allow us to experience virtual worlds with our full suite of senses.With advances in computing in the next century,perhaps—those worlds would seem as real as the physical word around us.“A common way of thinking about virtual realities is that they’re somehow fake abilities.I think that’s wrong,”he explained.The virtual worlds we’re interacting with can be as real as our ordinary physical world.On the point of philosophy,Chalmers argues that even today’s virtual world is real.A conversation in VR is a real conversation.The objects in the virtual world too,just made of bits instead of electrons.“Most of the factors that make life meaningful are going to be there in virtual worlds,”he says.But there are plenty of risks to be cautious of,he notes.As fullfilling as virtual worlds may become,people will need real food,drink and exercise,and perhaps even the glimpse of daylight, to keep their bodies from fading away.The risks may be trivial for decades yet,but a gradual trend towards virtual living could eventually raise new health issues.These are not the only health hazards.Some people have raised serious concerns about the risk of psychological damage:if we are better looking and have better clothes and a nicer home in the meta verse(元宇宙),how we feel when we leave?The“lure”of VR might also cause neglect on a global scale,Chalmers concedes.Would climate change and other crises facing the physical world lose their urgency?That would be a disaster,he says,“Physical reality is really important.We’ve got to keep a grounding in it and treat it well.”36.Why does the author mention“device strapped to your face”in Paragraph1?A.To introduce the latest advance in virtual technology.B.To describe a novel approach to pursuing virtual reality.C.To emphasize a physical barrier to enjoying virtual reality,D.To demonstrate the necessity of wearing a virtual device.37.According to Chalmers,virtual reality____A.is fake realityB.is genuine realityC.derives from physical realityD.has various definitions38.Which of the following is a source of psychological damage?2022年同等学历申硕学位英语真题及答案ck of physical exercise due to virtual living.B.The gap between the physical and virtual worlds.C.Inadequate contact with friends in the physical world.D.Not enough exposure to sunlight in the physical world.39.What impact might VR have on fighting global warming?A.It might speed up global warming.B.It might offer an alternative solution.C.It might encourage people to solve it.D.It might distract people from the issue.40.What is the main idea of the passage?A.VR creates another world,but with potential problems.B.The future of VR is unfolding and quite promising.C.VR will replace physical reality in the decades to come.D.People’s view of VR evolves with the passage of time.Section BDirections:In this section,you are required to read one quoted blog and the comments on it.The blog and comments are followed boy questions or unfinished statements,each with four suggested answers A,B,C and D.Choose the best answer and mark your answer on the Answer Sheet.Like a lot of people,for many years I said yes to things I didn’t want to do.This was a combination of conditioning—vague fear of missing out and basic conflict avoidance.It seemed to me there was no easy way to turn things down without causing offence.All we had,growing up, was the saying“Just say no”—a slogan so useless that it became a universally recognized and decades-long joke.A lot has changed since then.In the past10years,a language has developed,mainly from social justice and feminist movements,to describe the states of discomfort and the right we have to resist them.My favourite,and by far the most useful,of the new phrase is:“I’m not comfortable with that.”I can get you out of almost anything.My other favourite word is“boundaries”.One can ditch disagreeable people these days via use of the word“boundaries”while escaping any feelings of guilt.Another one,“emotional labour”,was coined in the1980s to describe service industry jobs that required the faking of a cheerful behavior to satisfy customers.This involves suppressing emotions,such as anger or sadness,which is bound to take a toll on you and could even lead to burnout.It doesn’t mean that now.You can bolt that phrase on to almost any situation, conversation or obligation you’d rather not be involved in.Being able to politely back out of something without tying yourself in knots is useful, particularly for women socialized to comply(遵从).Comment1:Saying“yes”to everything is a trait in most women.For me it is a sign of female maturity to learn to say no.Comment2:For a longtime now,I have used a polite“no”when being asked the to do things I don’t want to.Comment3:More to do with age than anything else.Men suffer it too,saying yes too much.You do wise up as you get older.Comment4:All life involving other people is a compromise.You can pleasantly the expression“I’m not comfortable with that”in solitude,but among others,who have their own desires,needs and conviction.It becomes a self-detesting exercise.Comment5:What a lot of men still seem unable to understand is that women learn at very young age to be carers,while men are largish to prioritize themselves.41.What does the author think of the advice“Just say no”?A.Aggressive but effective.eful but impolite.C.Confusing and improper.D.Impractical and unhelpful.42.Which of the following is true about“emotional labour”?A.It is a trick for performing a task.B.The person in power often bears its burden.C.Constant emotional labour can be exhausting.D.It applies most frequently to the service industry.43.What does the phrase“tying yourself in knots”(Para.4)mean?A.Becoming upset.B.Offending others.C.Losing control.D.Acting strangely.44.Which comment disagrees with the author’s choice of new phrases?ment2ment3ment4.ment5.45.Which comments agree with the author on the female tendency to comply?ment1and Comment3ment2and Comment4.ment1and Comment5.ment4and Comment5.Part IV ClozeDirections:In

Each passage is followed by five questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer and mark the corresponding letter with a single bar across the square brackets on your Machine-scoring ANSWER SHEET.Passage OneAutomation refers to the introduction of electronic control and automatic operation of productive machinery. It reduces the human factors, mental and physical, in production, and is designed to make possible the manufacture of more goods with fewer workers. The development of automation in American industry has been called the Second Industrial Revolution.Labor’s concern over automation arises form uncertainty about the effects on employment, and fears of major changes in jobs. In the main, labor has taken the view that resistance to technical change is unfruitful. Eventually, the result of automation may well be an increase to in employment, since it is expected that vast industries will grow up around manufacturing, maintaining, and repairing automation equipment. The interest of labor lies in bringing about the transition with a minimum of inconvenience and distress to the workers involved. Also, union spokesmen emphasize that the benefit of the increased production and lower costs made possible by automation should be shared by workers in the form of higher wages, more leisure, and improved living standards.To protect the interests of their members of in era of automation, unions have adopted a number of new policies. One of these is the promotion of supplementary unemployment benefit plans. It is emphasized that since the employer involved in such a plan has a direct financial interest I preventingunemployment, he will have a strong drive for planning new installations so as to cause the least possible problems in jobs and job assignments. Some unions are working for dismissal pay agreements, requiring that permanently dismissed workers be paid a sum of money based on service. Another approach is the idea of the “improvement factor”, which calls for wage increases based on increases in productivity. It is possibly, however, that labor will rely mainly on reduction in working hours in order to get the full benefits of automation.31. In order to get the full benefits of automation, labor will depend mostly on______.A. additional payment to the permanently dismissed workers.B. the increase of wages in proportion to the increase ion productivityC. shorter working hours and more leisure timeD. strong drive for planning new installations32. Which of the following is N OT the characteristic of the “Second Industrial Revolution”?A. The automatic operation of productive machinery.B. A decrease in the necessity for human effort in production.C. The manufacturing of large amount of goods.D. A reduction in leisure time33. Why is labor concerned over automation?A. Because the workers are afraid that they are not skilled in operating the machine.B. Because the workers are afraid that they are not qualified for the jobC. Because the workers are afraid that they may lose their jobsD. Because the workers are afraid that they will be paid less34. Labor’s attitude toward automation is that ______.A. workers have to accept it since technological change cannot be stoppedB. it should be welcomed since it will bring about a fall in costC. all efforts must be made to prevent automationD. its main interest lies in increasing its wages35. Which of the following will probably NOT be a long run result of automation?A. Industrial expansionB. An increase in employmentC. An increase in unemploymentD. Displacement of labor from one industry to another.Passage TwoBotany, the study of plants occupies a peculiar position in the history of human knowledge. For many thousands of years it was the one field of awareness about which humans had anything more than the vaguest of insights. It is impossible to know today just what our Stone Age ancestors knew about plants, but form what we can observe of pre-industrial societies that still exist a detailed learning of plants and their properties must be extremely ancient. This is logical. Plants are the basis of the food pyramid for allliving things even for other plants. They have always been enormously important to the welfare of people not only for food, but also for clothing, weapons, tools, dyes, medicines, shelter, and a great many other purposes. Tribes living today in the jungles of the Amazon recognize literally hundreds of plants and know many properties of each. To them, botany, as such, has no name and is probably not even recognized as a special branch of “knowledge” at all.Unfortunately, the more industrialized we become the farther away we move from directcontact with plant, and the less distinct our knowledge of botany grow. Yet everyone comes unconsciously on an amazing amount of botanical knowledge, and few people will fail to recognize a rose, an apple or an orchid. When our Neolithic ancestors, living in the Middle East about 10,000 years ago, discovered that certain grasses could be harvested and their seeds planted for richer yields the next season the first great step in anew association of plants and humans was taken. Grains were discovered and from them flowed the marvel of agriculture: cultivated crops. From then on humans would increasingly take their living from the controlled production of a few plants, rather than getting a little here and a little there from many varieties that grew wild-and the accumulated knowledge of tens of thousands of years experience and intimacy with plants in the wild would begin to fade away.36. What does the first paragraph say about early humans?A. They did not enjoy the study of botany.B. They probably had extensive knowledge of plants.C. They kept detailed records of all the plants they knew.D. They had long established botany as a special branch of knowledge.37. What does the comment “This is logical” in the first paragraph mean?A. Plants provide food for all living things.B. Plants are most important to the welfare of people.C. It is not surprising that early humans had a detailed knowledge of plants.D. It is hard for us to determine the extent of ancestor’s knowledge of plants38. According to the passage, why has general knowledge of botany begun to fade.A. Because people no longer value plants as a useful resource.B. Because direct contact with a variety of plants has decreased.C. Because botany is not recognized as a special branch of science.D. Because research is unable to keep up with the increasing number of plants.39. Why does the author mention “a rose, an apple, or an orchid ” in the second paragraph?A. To illustrate the diversity of botanical life.B. To make the passage more vivid and poetic.C. To cite examples of plants that are attractive.D. To give botanical examples that most people can recognize.40. According to the passage, what was the first great step toward the practice of agriculture?A. The changing diets of early humans.B. The development of a system of names for plants.C. The invention of agricultural implements and machinery.D. The discovery of grasses that could be harvested and replanted.Passage ThreeWind-generated power offers many advantages for an energy-hungry society becoming increasingly aware of the negative environmental effect of conventional electricity-generating systems. In contrast to coal or oil-fired power station in which the majority of California’s electricity is produced, wind-powered stations have a minimal effect on the environment. They produce neither carbon dioxide missions which add to the Greenhouse Effect nor do they contribute to the phenomenon of acid rain which kills the lakes and forests where it falls. Unlike nuclear plants, wind stations cannot become another Chernobyl.Wind power, like solar, hydro-electric and tidal power, is infinitely renewable, non-polluting source of energy and is becoming increasingly important in satisfying the state’s energy needs. However, if there is no wind, there will be no power. Even when the wind stations are sited on the windiest hills there is no guarantee that the wind will blow 24 hours a day.Until ways can be found to store generated power that can be used when the winds die down, wind power will remain a supplementary source of the state’s energy. Present wind towers still require a minimum wind speed of around 25 kilometers per hour to generate commercially usable electricity mean that wind power is not economically competitive with conventional fossil or nuclear stations.Environmentalists are also concerned about the visual effect wind stations have on the landscape. In order to generate commercially usable quantities of electricity it is necessary to install a large number of wind towers. In the Los Remos scheme there are 150 steel wind towers, each around 30meters high, covering a total area of 80 hectares. They are silent and safe but ugly, making the beautiful Los Remos Range begin to look like Manhattan in miniature.Harnessing the wind does offer a clean, renewable source of energy , but until technology increases the efficiency and reliability of the system it will not be able to replace conventional fossil fuel or nuclear powered stations.41. it seems that the chief advantage of wind powered stations lies in______.A. its non-polluting effectsB. its availability at any timeC. its satisfaction of the state’s energy needsD. its beautification effects42. Wind-powered stations would not be a solution to the state’s energy needs if_______.A. they were not built on the windiest hills.B. ways to store the generated power were not foundC. they were used only for commercial purposesD. ways were not found to increase the wind speed43.the chief concern of the environmentalists about the wind powered stations is that_______A. They are affecting the natural sceneries badlyB. there is often no wind enough to drive themC. they are not economically competitive with traditional stationsD. they are not commercially renewable44. According to the passage, which of the following can be harnessed in conventional fossil stations?A. Uranium.B. WaterfallC. TideD. Petroleum45. What is the author’s attitude towards wind-powered station?A. Objective.B. NegativeC. IndifferentD. Subjective.Passage FourThe food irradiation process is a simple one. The new U.S. plant, Vindicator of Florida Incorporated in Mulberry, Fla., uses a material called cobalt 60 to irradiate food. Cobalt 60 is radioactive isotope (form) of the metallic element cobalt. Cobalt 60 , which gives off radiation in the form of gamma rays, is also used for radiation therapy for canner patients and for sterilizing hospital equipment. The radioactive isotope is created by bombarding cobalt with subatomic particles in a nuclear reactor. However ,irradiation plants do not themselves contain nuclear reactors.In the irradiation plant , food is exposed to thin rods of cobalt 60. the rods give off gamma rays , which disrupt chemical processes in contaminating organisms. The disruption breaks down the cell walls of organisms or destroys their genetic material. The dose , set by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration(FDA), is enough to kill organisms on food ,but not enough to produce significant changes in the food itself.Although irradiation slightly decreases the nutritive value of foods, the loss is less than that produced by some other methods of food preservation. Canning, for example, results in a much greater loss of nutrients.Those who object to irradiation say that the process may create substances not found in nonirradiated food. Since the 1960’s researchers have studied irradiated food at microscopic levels to try to find such substances, called unique radiolytic products. After reviewing these studies, the FDA determined that compounds formed during irradiation are similar to substance found in nonirradiated foods and are not dangerous to consume.Destruction of microorganisms that cause illness is an important goal of irradiation. About 250 million cases of food poisoning or 1 per person—occur every year in the U.S., according to FDA estimates. Food poisoning can cause vomiting, diarrhea, fever, headache—and, occasionally, death.Because of the apparent safety of food irradiation, and the problems presented by contaminated food, scientific groups—including the American Medical Association, the World Health Organization, and the United Nations food and Agriculture Association—have voiced nearly universal support for the process. Worldwide ,38 nations have approved irradiation for 355 products.Like microwave ovens, food irradiation has aroused apprehension and misunderstanding. Yet it has been scrutinized more thoroughly than other methods of food treatment that we have come to regard as safe, and it appears to be a method whose time has come.46. Cobalt 60, besides irradiating food, is also employed to______.A. detect metallic flawsB. run a nuclear reactorC. cure cancer patientsD. strengthen concrete walls47. Gamma rays used to irradiate food _______.A. are generally not strong enough to destroy contaminating organismsB. do not bring about significant changes in the food itselfC. may destroy some of the nutrients in the foodD. should be submitted to FDA foe approval48. Irradiated food____A. certainly loses its nutritive valueB. maintains its nutritive value no different from the nonirradiatedC. keeps its nutritive value better than canned foodD. is recommended as the best of all preserved foods49. With case of food poisoning increasing,______A. food irradiation should be carried out with careB. it is more urgent to irradiate foodsC. medical researches into treatment of the diseased should be strengthenedD. Americans are beginning to accept food irradiation50. the passage may be taken from ______A. a news reportB. a textbook of food processingC. a book of popular scienceD. a manual of food irradiationPassage FiveAn Asian engineer is assigned to a U.S. laboratory and almost suffers a nervous breakdown. A U.S. executive tells his staff he’s going to treat them fairly—and creates dissension. A Japanese manager is promoted by his British president, but within six months asks for a transfer. Each of these real-life cases involved people who were regarded as superior employees, but were ill-equipped to cope with the complexities and dangers of intercultural management.“Multinational companies have studies everything else, now they’re finally looking at culture”, says Clifford Clark, founder and president of the California-based IPI International Inc, one of a small but growing number of consulting firms that specialize in teaching business people from differing cultures how to communicate and work with each other.“Never show the shoe to an Arab ,never arrive on time for a party in Brazil, and in Japan, don’t think, ‘yes’, means ‘yes’,”advise U.S. consultants Lennie Copland and Lewis Brown Griggs, who have produced a series of films and book to help managers improve their international business skills. But simply learning the social “dos” and “ts” is not the answer ,according to the new culture specialists. The penalties for ignoring different thinking patterns, they point out ,can be disastrous.For example, the American manager who promised to be fair thought he was telling his Japanese staff that their hard work would be rewarded, but when some workers received higher salary increase than others, there were complaints. “You told us you’d better fair, and you lied to us, “accused one salesman. “It look me a year and a half”, sighed the American, “to realise that ‘fair’, to my staff, meant being treated equally.”The Asian engineer who suffered in America was the victim of another mistaken expectation. “He was accustomed to the warm group environment so typical in Japan,”said his U.S. manager. “But in our company, we’re all expected to be self-starters, who thrive on working alone. For him ,it was emotional starvation. He’s made the adjustment now, but he’d be humiliated if I told you his name, that’s another cultural difference.”The Japanese manager who failed to respond to his promotion couldn’t bring himself to use the more direct language needed to communicate with his London-based superiors. “I used to think all this talk about cultural communication was a lot of baloney,”says Eugene J. Flath, president of Intel Japan Ltd., asubsidiary of the American semiconductor maker. “Now, I can see it’s a real problem, miscommunication has slowed our ability to coordinate action with our home office.”That’s why Intel, with the help of consultant Clarke, began an intercultural training program this spring which Flath expects will dramatically reduce decision-making time now lost in making sure the Americans and the Japanese understand each other.51. the best title for the passage would be _________A. Building Bridges over the Cultural RiversB.Multinational training for BusinessmenC. Learning Different Thinking PatternsD. Communication Problems and Complaints52. Why did the Japanese staff complain to the American manager?A. The American manager had lied to them .B. The salary increases were insufficient.C. Most staff had not received salary increases.D. There was a misunderstanding of the word “fair”.53. The cultural communication problems are becoming especially urgent for_____.A. American managersB. multinational companiesC. Japanese employeesD. consulting firms54.The multinational training program is mostly concerned with the relation between Americans and ____.A. JapaneseB. ArabsC. BraziliznsD. Oriental55. Why did the promoted Japanese manager ask for a transfer?A. He was not competent foe the higher position.B. He was not accustomed to working by himself.C. He could not make the adjustment to his new job.D. He lacked adequate communication with his superiors.Part IV Cloze(15 minutes, 15 points, 1 for each)Directions: In this part, there is a passage with 15 blanks.

Nurseries were established in various areas during the 56 half of the 19th century; most of them were charitable. Both in Europe and in the U.S., the day nursery movement received great 57 during the First W orld W ar, when shortage of manpower caused the industrial employment of unprecedented(前所未有) numbers of women. In some European countries nurseries were established 58 in munitions(军火) plants, under direct government sponsorship. Although the number of nurseries in the U.S. also rose 59 , this rise was accomplished without government aid of any kind. During the years following the First World W ar, 60 , federal, State, and local governments gradually began to exercise a measure of control over the day nurseries, chiefly by 61 them and by. The 62 of the Second W orld W ar was quickly followed by an increase in the number of day nurseries in almost all countries, as women were 63 called up on to replace men in the factories. On this 64 the U.S. government immediately came to the support of the nursery schools, 65 $ 6,000,000 in July ,1942,for a nursery school program for the children of working mothers. Many States and local communities 66 this Federal aid. By the end of the war, in August, 1945, more than 100,000 children were being cared for in daycare centers receiving Federal 67 . Soon afterward, the Federalgovernment 68 cut down its expenditures for this purpose and later 69 them, causing a sharp drop in the number of nursery schools in operation. However, the expectation that most employed mothers would leave their 70 at the end of the war was only partly fulfilled.56. A. latter B. late C. other D. first57.

Each passage is followed by five questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C, and D. Choose the best one and mark the corresponding letter on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.Passage OneThe science of meteorology is concerned with the study of the structure, state, and behavior of the atmosphere. The subject may be approached from several directions, but the scene cannot be fully appreciated from any one point. Different views must be integrated, to give a perspective to the whole picture.One may consider the condition of the atmosphere at a given moment and attempt to predict changes from that condition over a period of a few hours to a few days ahead. This approach is covered by the branch of thescience called synoptic（天气的）meteorology.Synoptic meteorology is the scientific basis of the technique of weather forecasting by means of the preparation and analysis of weather maps and meteorological diagrams. In serving the needs of shipping, aviation, agriculture, industry, and many other interests and fields of human activity with accurate weather warnings and professional forecast advice, great benefit are obtained in the form of the saving of human lives and property and in economic advantages of various kinds. One important purpose of the science of meteorology is constantly to make great efforts, through study and research, to increase our knowledge of the atmosphere with the aim of improving the accuracy of weather forecasts.The tools needed to advance our knowledge in this way are disciplines of mathematics and physics applied to solve meteorological problems. The use of these tools forms that branch of the science called dynamic meteorology.31.Which of the following could be the best title for the passage?A. Limitation of Meteorological ForecastingB. New Advances in Synoptic MeteorologyC. Approaches to the Science of MeteorologyD. The Basic of Dynamic Meteorology32.The predictions of synoptic meteorologists are directly based on the ______.A. application of the physical sciencesB. preparation and study of weather mapsC. anticipated needs of industryD. observations of commercial airline pilots33.Which of the following is not referred to by the author as a field whose needs are served by weatherforecasting?A. TransportationB. ManufacturingC. FarmingD. Sports34.Which of the following statements best describes the organization of the third paragraph of the passage?A. A procedure is explained and its importance is emphasized.B. Two contrasting views of a problem are presented.C. Recent scientific advancements are outlined in order of importance.D. A problem is examined and possible solutions are given.35.In the last sentence of the passage the phrase “the tools” refers to ______.A. weather forecastsB. meteorological problemsC. mathematics and physicsD. economic advantagesPassage TwoA few years ago it was fashionable to speak of a generation gap, a division between young people and their elders. Parents complained that children did not show them proper respect and obedience, while children complained that their parents did not understand them at all. What had gone wrong? Why had the generation gap suddenly appeared? Actually, the generation gap has been around for a long time. Many critics argue that it is built into the fabric of our society.One important cause of the generation gap is the opportunity that young people have to choose their own life style. In more traditional societies, when children grow up, they are expected to live in the same area as their parents, to marry people that their parents know and approve of, and often to continue the family occupation. In our society, young people often travel great distances for their educations, move out of the family home at an early age, marry or live with people whom their parents have never met, and choose occupations different from those of their parents.In our upwardly mobile society, parents often expect their children to do better than they did: to find better jobs, to make more money, and to do all the things that they were unable to do. Often, however, the ambitions that parents have for their children are another cause of the division between them. Often, they discover that they have very little in common with each other.Finally, the speed at which changes take place in our society is another cause of the gap between the generations. In a traditional culture, elderly people are valued for their wisdom, but in our society the knowledge of a lifetime may become obsolete overnight. The young and the old seem to live in two very different worlds, separated by different skills and abilities.No doubt, the generation gap will continue to be a feature of American life for some time to come. Its causes are rooted in the freedoms and opportunities of our society, and in the rapid pace at which society changes.36.Which of the following can be used as the best title of the passage?A. The Sudden Appearance of the Generation Gap.B. Argument over the Nature of the Generation Gap.C. The Causes and Nature of the Generation Gap.D. The Ways to Eliminate the Generation Gap..37.Which one is NOT the cause of the generation gap?A. American society is changing very fast.B. young people like to choose their own life styles.C. Parents place high hopes on their children.D. Modern education makes them think differently.38.In American society, young people often ______.A. rely on their parents to make a lifeB. seek the best advice from their parentsC. have very little in common with their parentsD. stay with their parents in order to get an opportunity for higher education39.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the reading passage?A. Parents should be more tolerable towards their children.B. The generation gap is partly created by the elder generation.C. The generation gap should be avoidable in American society.D. The younger generation should value the older generation for their wisdom.40.According to the author, the generation gap______.A. appeared a long time ago and will cease to exist in the near future.B. appeared a long time ago and will continue to exist in the near future.C. only exists in the modern society when everything is changing rapidly.D. is harder to be reduced because of the rapid development of the modern society.Passage ThreePrivacy can be as dicey an issue within the household as it is our on the Web itself. There are thousands of families in which reading the kids’e-mail, monitoring their chats and tracking their Web travels is a solemn parental obligation. “I have every right to read their e-mail.”Says Bruce Cohen, a Reno, Nev., father of two. “Legally, I’m responsible for them until they’re 18.”Yet many others believe that invading a e-mail file is no different from opening a pen-and-paper diary that your daughter keeps under lock and key in a dresser drawer. A lot of parents- not to mention kids – find that a breach of parent-child trust.But even if e-mail is considered inviolate, there are tactics by which the alert parent can control it. America Online, the Internet service provider used by nearly 17 million households, allows parents to limit incoming e-mail to a finite list of correspondents. In any e-mail program, a scan of the senders’ addresses can give you a good idea of the nature of your kid’s correspondents. The proliferation of mailing lists being such a Web commonplace, what’s coming in can sometimes tell you what’s been going out: even unsolicited e-mail-from, say, a Ku Klux Klan site – can be a clue that someone’s been surfing some pretty scary pages.In fact, this sort of Web transparency can actually be a boon to worried parents. If your teenager is going places in the material world and doing things that you wouldn’t approve of, you may never know it. If he’s connecting with the world’s ugliness on the Web, you may have a chance to track it down. Some parents make a regular practice of typing their kids’ names and nicknames into a search engine, which gives the parents a shot at discovering what the kids are saying on their own websites or on message boards and what others are saying about them.Every parent should also take advantage of the wonderful excuse the Web has given us to keep credit cards from our teenage kids. Entry past the first or second level to most porn sites - and to other beyond-the-pale operations of hustling Web entrepreneurs – is governed by the ability to key in a valid card number.41.The passage is mainly about ______.A.the way to monitor children’s on-line activitiesB. parent’s rights in children’s on-line activitiesC. children’s rights in on-line activitiesD. America on-line service for parents42.Parents can control their children’s E-mail by all of the following EXCEPT ______.A. scanning the mailing listsB. typing kids’ names into a search engineC. keeping credit cards from childrenD. standing regularly beside the computer43.The word “breach” means ________.A. neglectB. respectC. protectD. strengthening44.Through checking the no-line communication of their children, the parents can ______.A. know where they often goB. find in time that they are connecting with someone dangerousC. know what kind of people they like to stay withD. find in time that they are going ugly places45.What is the author’s attitude towards the parents’ right to check their children’s E-mail?A. NegativeB. PositiveC. IndifferentD. Not clearPassage FourIt seems obvious that trapping more of the sun’s heat will make the planet hotter. But what seems obvious isn’t always true. According to some respected scientists, there’s a chance that global warming could plunge us into , of all things, an ice age.The argument hinges on the Gulf Stream, the ocean current that brings warm surface water north and east and heats Europe. As it travels, some of the water evaporates; what’s left is saltier and thus denser. Eventually the dense surface water sinks to the sea bottom, where it flows back southward. And then, near the equator, warm, fresh water from tropical rivers and rain dilutes the salt once again, allowing the water to rise to the surface, warm up ad begin glowing north again.But with global warming, melting ice from Greenland and the Arctic Ocean could pump fresh water into the North Atlantic; so cold the increased rainfall predicted for northern latitudes in a warmer world. Result: the Gulf Stream’s water wouldn’t get saltier after all and wouldn’t sink so easily. Without adequate resupply, the southerly underwater current would stop, and the Gulf Stream would in turn be shut off.If that happens, Europe will get very cold. Rome is, after all, at the same latitude as Chicago, and Paris is about as far north Dakota. More snow will fall, and the bright snow cover will reflect more of the sun’s energy back into space, making life even chillier. Beyond that, the Gulf Stream is tied into other ocean currents, and shutting it down could rearrange things in a way that would cause less overall evaporation. Because atmospheric H2O is an important greenhouse gas, its loss would mean even more dramatic cooling – a total of perhaps as much as 80 C（170 F）Worst of all, the experts believe, such changes could come on with astonishing speed –perhaps within a decade or less. And while we might have a great deal of trouble adjusting to a climate that gets 20 C (40 F) warmer over the next century, an ice age by mid-century would be unimaginably devastating. The lingering uncertainty about whether our relentless production of greenhouse gases will keep heating our planet or ultimately cool it suggests that we should make a better effort to leave the earth’s thermostat alone.46.The major point held in this passage is that eventually______.A. the greenhouse effect will cause the global warmingB. the global warming will lead to an ice ageC. the global warming will make the world half cold and half hotD. the greenhouse effect will bring us warm and clear water47.The argument about ice age depends on ______.A. greenhouse effectB. the Gulf StreamC. sun’s heatD. melting ice from Arctic Ocean48.The Gulf Stream refers to ______.A. streams flowing in gulfsB. the ocean current in Arctic OceanC. the ocean current northward and eastward heating EuropeD. streams coming from the melting ice from Greenland49.Europe will get very cold when ______.A. there is more rainfall in northern latitudesB. the southerly underwater current stop with global warmingC. there is more snow for major European citiesD. There is heavier green house effect on the earth.50.The global warming will cause all of the following EXCEPT ______.A. cooling EuropeB. the loss of atmospheric H2OC. melting ice from GreenlandD. even much warmer EuropePassage FiveTelevision – the most pervasive and persuasive of modern technologies, marked by rapid change and growth – is moving into a new era, an era of extraordinary sophistication and versatility, which promises to reshape our lives and our world. It is an electronic revolution of sorts, made possible by the marriage of television and computer technologies.The word “television”, derived from its Greek (tele: distant) and Latin (visio: sight) roots, can literally be interpreted as sight from a distance. Very simply put, it works in this way: through a sophisticated system of electronics, television provides the capability of converting an image (focused on a special photoconductive plate within a camera) into electronic impulses, which can be sent through a wire or cable. These impulses, when fed into a receiver (television set), can then be electronically reconstituted into that same image.Television is more than just an electronic system, however, it is a means of expression, as well as a vehicle for communication, and as such becomes a powerful tool for reaching other human beings.The field of television can be divided into two categories determined by its means of transmission. First there is broadcast television, which reaches the masses through broad – based airwave transmission of television signal. Second, there is nonbroadcast television, which provides for the needs of individuals or specific interest groups through controlled transmission techniques.Traditionally, television has been a medium of the masses. We are most familiar with broadcast television because it has been with us for about thirty-seven years in a form similar to what exists today. During those years, it has been controlled, for the most part, by the broadcast networks, ABC, NBC and CBS, who have been the major purveyors of news, information, and entertainment. These giants of broadcasting have actually shaped not only television but our perception of it as well. We have come to look upon the picture tube as source of entertainment, placing our role in this dynamic medium as the passive viewer.51.What is the literal meaning of the word “television”?A. Medium of the masses .B. Sight from a distance.C. Airwave transmission.D. Vehicle for communicationD. mocks annual performance reviews.52.Which of the following is NOT true as a function of electronics in television transmission?A. Converting an image into electronic impulses.B. Sending impulse through a wire cable.C. Feeding impulses into a receiver.D. Changing one image into another image.53.Which of the following is characteristic of non-broadcast television?A. It meets the needs of the massesB. It is a means of entertainmentC.

It is actually caused by 57 of your “body clock”– a small cluster of brain cells that controls the timing of biological 58 . The body clock is designed for a 59 rhythm of daylight and darkness, so that it is thrown out of balance when it 60 daylight and darkness at the “wrong” times in a new time zone. The 61 of jetlag often persist for days 62 the internal body clock slowly adjusts to the new time zone.Now a new anti-jetlag system is available that is based on proven 63 pioneering scientific research. Dr. Martin Moore – Ede has 64 a practical strategy to adjust the body clock much sooner to the new time zone 65 controlled exposure to bright light. The time zone shift is easy to accomplish and eliminates 66 of the discomfort of jetlag.A successful time zone shift depends on knowing the exact time to either 67 or avoid bright light. Exposure to light at the wrong time can actually make jetlag worse. The proper schedule 68 light exposure depends a great deal on specific travel plans.Data on a specific flight itinerary（旅行路线）and the individual’s sleep pattern are used to produce a Trip Guide with 69 on exactly when to be exposed to bright light.When the Trip Guide calls for bright light you should spend time outdoors if possible.

Choose the best answer and mark youi answer on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneTen years ago, when environmental lawyer Kassie Siegel went in search of an animal to save the world, the polar bear wasn't at all an obvious choice. Siegel and Brendan Cummings of the Center for Biological Diversity in Joshua Tree, Calif.,were looking for a species whose habitat was disappearing due to climate change, which could serve as a symbol of the dangers of global warming. Her first candidate met the scientific criteria-it lived in ice caves in Alaska's Glacier Bay, which were melting away-but unfortunately it was a spider. You can't sell a lot of T-shirts with pictures of an animal most people would happily step on.Next,Siegel turned to the Kittlitz's murrelet, a small Arctic seabird whose nesting sites in glaciers were disappearing. In 2001,she petitioned the Department of the Interior to add it to the Endangered Species list, but Interior Secretary Gale Norton turned her down. Elkhorn and staghorn coral,which are threatened by rising water temperatures in the Caribbean, did make it onto the list, but as iconic species they fell short insofar as many people don't realize they're alive in the first place. The polar bear, by contrast, is vehemently alive and comes the undeniablecharisma of a top predator. And its dependence on ice was intuitively obvious; it lives on it most of the year. But it took until 2004 for researchers to demonstrate that shrinking sea ice was a serious threat to the bears'population. On Feb. 16, 2005-the day the Kyoto Protocol to curb greenhouse gas emissions took effect,without the participation of the United States-Siegel petitioned to list polar bears as endangered. Three years later her efforts met with equivocal（不明确的）success，as Interior Secretary Dirk Kempthorne designated the bears as "threatened"(not endangered), a significant con- cession from an administration that has stood almost alone in the world in its reluctance to acknowledge the dangers of climate change. The Endangered Species Act (ESA), whose odd lists of snails and bladderworts sometimes seemed stuck in the age of Darwin, had been thrust into the mainstream of 21st-century environmental politics. Break out the T-shirts!21.Siegel and Cummings hoped to choose an animal to ______.A. call on people to take actions against global warmingB. make people aware of the danger of environmental damageC. introduce to people a new concept of environmental protectionD.remind people of the importance of protecting endangered species22.The problem with elkhorn and staghorn corals lies in that ______.A.they were not much-liked by many peopleB. they were not well-known enough to be an iconC.they were not considered animals by many peopleD.they were not added to the list of Endangered Species23. It can be learnt that the polar bear ______.A. was first considered by Siegel to be the iconic animal in 1998B. was first proposed by Siegel to be the endangered species in 2004C. was not qualified scientifically as the endangered species until 2005D. was not officially under the government protection until 200824. Which of the following is chosen by Siegel as the symbolic animal?A.The murrelet nesting in glaciers.B. The polar bear in the North Pole.C. The spider in Alaska's Glacier Bay.D.Staghorn corals in the Caribbean.25. The passage is focused on ______.A.how the scientists tried to protect endangered speciesB. how the symbolic endangered species has been chosenC.the relation between global warming and endangered speciesD. the problems in and the future of endangered species protectionPassage TwoMore American mothers than ever are working, and more workers are mothers. Yet their march into the world of paid work continues to cause suspicion. One recent survey found that 48 percent of Americans believe that preschoolers suffer if their mothers work, while another found that 42 percent of employed parents think that working mothers care more about succeeding at work than meeting their children's needs.The kids are all right. Studies conducted by the University of Michigan have consistently demonstrated that a child's social or academic competence does not depend on whether amother is employed. In my research four out of five children told me that having a working mother was their preferred arrangement. My study found that children with working mothers are no more likely to drop out, take drugs, break the law, or experiment with sex prematurely than children with nonemployed mothers. Children have taken their mothers' example to heart. Ninety percent of the young women I interviewed said they hoped to combine work with motherhood, while two-thirds of the men said they wanted to share parenting and work. Sadly,children support working mothers more than we do as a society. Parental leave and child-care benefits in the United States remain inadequate, particularly when compared to what's offered in other countries. Children thrive when their mothers have satisfying, well-paid jobs when they can count on other caretakers to share the load. The challenge facing us is thus not whether good workers can also be good mothers, but whether we can create the conditions that enable working mothers and fathers to be good parents.26. From the first paragraph, we can see that ______.A. now more American mothers are working than any time in American history and anywhere else in the worldB. more than half Americans think that before going to school, children need their mothers'whole-hearted careC. a majority of Americans believe that once working outside home mothers think of their own work more than their childrenD. more American mothers work than ever before, but this problem of working mothers has not been solved satisfactorily27. From the passage, we can not find the proof of the fact that ______.A. mothers do their household work today just as well as they did beforeB.with their mothers working, children are better offC. lack of mothers' care, children like to go astrayD. in single-parent families, most children like their mothers to go out working28.In the last paragraph, “Parental leave and child-care benefits in the United States remain inade- quate”actually refers to ______.A. parents should not leave and pay more care to their childrenB. parental leave and child care is contradictedC.children have inadequate care from their parentsD. in the United States, parents enjoy inadequate child-care leave and allowance29. What do the Americans need in solving the problem of working mothers?A. They need the support of males.B. They need the understanding of other members of their families.C. They need young people to be well-prepared to work both in and outside their homes.D. They need especially the powerful support, of the society for working mothers.30. What is the main idea of the passage?A. We should let mothers work without worries.B. It is better for mothers to stay at home.C.We should work hard, especially mothers.D. Like mothers, like children.Passage ThreeJob sharing refers to the situation in which two people divide the responsibility of one fulltimejob. The two people willingly act as part-time workers, enough hours between them to fulfill the duties of a full-time worker. If they each work half the job, for example, they each receive 50 per-cent of the job's wages, its holidays and its other benefits. Of course, some job sharers take a smaller or larger share of the responsibilities of the position, receiving a less or greater share of the benefits.Job sharing differs from conventional part-time work in that it occurs mainly in the more highly skilled and professional areas, which requires higher levels of responsibility and employee commitment. Job sharing should not be confused with the term work sharing, which refers to increasing the number of jobs by reducing the number of hours of each existing job, thus offering more positions to the growing number of unemployed people. Job sharing, by contrast, is not designed to address unemployment problems; its focus, rather, is to provide well-paid work for skilled workers and professionals who want more free time for other activities.As would be expected, women constitute the bulk of job sharers. A survey carded out in 1988 by Britain's Equal Opportunities Commission revealed that 78 percent of sharers were female,the majority of whom were between 20 and 40 years of age. Subsequent studies have come up with similar results. Many of these women were re-entering the job market after having had children, but they chose not to seek part-time work because it would have meant lower status.Job sharing also offered an acceptable shift back into full-time work after a long absence.The necessity of close cooperations when sharing a job with another person makes the actual work quite different from conventional one-position jobs. However, to ensure a greater chance that the partnership will succeed, each person needs to know the strengths, weaknesses and preferences of his or her partner before applying for a position. Moreover,there must be a fair division of both routine tasks and interesting ones. In sum, for a position to be job-shared well,the two individuals must be well matched and must treat each other as equals.31.“Employee commitment”in Paragraph 2 refers to the employee's ______.A. loyaltyB. qualificationC.experienceD. achievement32.Work sharing is different from job sharing in that______.A. it requires more working hoursB. it depends on the employer's decisionC. it provides more work positionsD. it offers a more satisfactory salary33. Job sharing is popular with young mothers mainly because______.A.they can take care of both work and familyB.they are over ideal working agesC. they seek equal opportunities with menD. they have difficulty finding full-time jobs34. According to the survey, the sharers women consist of ______.A.20%B.40%C.50%D.78%35. The main purpose of the passage is to ______.A. recommend job sharing to womenB. describe job sharing in generalC.criticize job sharing as inefficientD. discuss a way to tackle unemploymentPassage FourThere are over 6,000 different computer and online games in the world now. A segment of them are considered to be both educational and harmlessly entertaining. One such game teaches geography, and another trains pilots. Others train the player in logical thinking and problem solving. Some games may also help young people to become more computer literature, which is more importantin this technology-driven era.But the dark side of the computer games has become more and more obvious. “A segment of games features anti-social themes of violence,sex and crude language”, says David Walsh,President of the National Institute on Media and Family. “Unfortunately, it's a segment that seems particularly popular with kids aged eight to fifteen.”One study showed that almost 80 percent of the computer and online games young people preferred contained violence. The investigators said“These are not just games anymore. These are learning machines. We're teaching kids in the most incredible manner what it's like to pull the trigger.What they are not learning are the real-life consequences.”They also said “The new and more sophisticated games are even worse,because they have better graphics and allow the player to participate in even more realistic violent acts.”In the game Carmageddon, for example, the player will have driven over and killed up to 33,000 people by the time all levels are completed. A description of the outcome of the game says:“Your victims no only squish under your tires and splatter blood on the windshield, they also get on their knees anc beg for mercy，or commit suicide. If you like，you can also dismember（肢解）them.”Is all this simulated violence harmful? Approximately 3,000 different studies have been conducted on this subject. Many have suggested that there is a connection between violence in games and increased aggressiveness in the players.Some specialists downplay the influence of the games, saying that other factors must be taker into consideration, such as the possibility that kids who already have violent tendencies arechoosing such games. But could it be that violent games still play a contributing role? It seems unrealis. tic to insist that people are not influenced by what they see. If that were true, why would the commercial world spend billions of dollars annually for television advertising?36. Which of the following computer games is NOT mentioned as educational and harmlessly entertaining?A. Those that help people learn more about computers.B. Those that teach the features of the earth.C. Those that provide special training for writers online.D. Those that provide special training for pilots.37. According to one study, most computer and online games ______.A. allow the players to take part in killing actsB. teach the players to be antisocialC. make the players forget the real life resultsD. that young people like contain violence38. Many studies have suggested that ______.A. more and more young people enjoy cruel computer gamesB.violence in computer games makes their players more aggressiveC. there are now far more incidents of violence due to computer gamesD. simulated violence in computer games is different from real violence39.The author uses "television advertising”as an example to show that______.A.other factors must be considered as possible causes of violence in real lifeB. computer and online games are not the only cause of increased violence in real lifeC. the commercial world is contributing to the increased violence in real lifeD. there isa close link between computer games and increased violence in real life40.The best title for the passage could be ______.A.The Dark Side of Computer GamesB. Computer Games-Advantages and DisadvantagesC.The Development of Violent Computer GamesD.A Study on the Influence of Computer GamesSectionBDirections:In this section,you are required to read one quoted blog and the comments on it.

Choose the best answer and mark your answer on the Answer Sheet.In 2011,green homes made up roughly 17 percent of the market and is expected to reach two out of five homes by 2016,according to the report.The biggest attribute to a green home is energy efficiency, of course. Ninety percent of homeowners surveyed said energy efficiency is important because of personal values, and because of lower energy bills. Other eco-friendly factors include indoor air quality, material durability, use of post-consumer materials and sustainability-focused waste management practices.Another big incentive for consumers is the fact that mortgage lenders and regional programs offer discount interest rates for green homes.Regardless of the incentive, consumers should also inquire about the materials that they will be using to build their home, especially the foundation. A home built with concrete blocks, for example, does not suffer from the same number of insect infestations as wood construction homes.Don't just call an exterminator.

The report confirmed the findings of similar research in the United States and Canada Exposure to relatively small quantities of asbestos fibres, they concluded, was directly responsible for the development of cancers, asbestosis and related diseases. Taking into account evidence provided by economists and building industry management, however, the report assumed that despite the availability of other materials, asbestos would continue to play a major role in the British building industry for many years to come because of its availability and low cost.As a result, the council gave a series of recommendations which were intended to reduce the risks to those who might be exposed to as best as in working environments. They recommended that, where possible, asbestos-free materials should be employed. In cases where asbestos was employed, it was recommended that it should be used in such a way that loose fibres were less likely to enter the air. The report recommended that special care should be taken during work in environments which contain asbestos. Workers should wear protective equipment and take special care to remove dust from the environment and clothing with the use of vacuum cleaners.The report identified five factors which determine the level of risk involved. The state and type of" asbestos is critical to determining the risk factors. In addition, dust formation was found to be limited where the asbestos was used when wet rather than dry.The choice of tools was also found to affect the quantities of asbestos particles that enter the air. Machine tools produce greater quantities of dust than hand tools and, where possible, the use of the latter was recommended.A critical factor which takes place in risk reduction is the adequate ventilation of the working environment. When work takes place in an enclosed space, more asbestos particles circulate and it was therefore recommended that natural or machine ventilation should be used. By closely following these advice, it was claimed that exposure can be reduced to a reasonably practical minimum .36. Exposure to asbestos fibres can cause cancer _______.A. only when asbestos is used in building industry.B. only when it is used in large quantities.C. even if it is used in small quantities.D. if they are used when wet rather than dry.37. Exposure to asbestos fibres is harmful to peoples healthA. so the use of asbestos is limited.B. but asbestos will continue to be used for a long time to come.C. so other new kinds of materials are under development.D. but the) will not be so when ventilation devices are used38. It can be inferred from the passage that the real danger comes from _______.A. the 3sbestos dust that people take inB. the contact of the workers skin with asbestos particlesC. the inferior quality of the asbestos itselfD. the excessive use of man-made asbestos material39. Evidence from the economists and the building industries shows that _______.A. exposure to asbestos fibres is cancer causingB. asbestos is in extensive use in building industryC. use of asbestos is being reduced graduallyD. exposure to asbestos fibres can be reduced significantly（完）。

Part VII Writing (30 minutes, 15 points)参考范文The Importance of Communication Between Parents and ChildrenWhen it comes to the issue of parenting, some people claim that communication is the key to getting a pleasant result. Communication between parents and children is a process in which the two parties have a chance to know what thoughts each have. The reasons why parents and children should communicate with each other and the approaches about how to do it are as follows.As children grow into teenagers, it is common that parents find it hard to know what is going on in their children’s life. Misunderstandings are likely to appear without efficient communication between them. Trying to understand the children is crucial for an efficient parent-children communication. In addition, since teenagers have already suffered a lot of pressure from school learning, parents had better not push them further by keeping telling them to work harder. Otherwise,teenagers may feel their parents care about nothing but scores and refuse to talk with, even hate, their parents.All in all, communication has a vital role to play in avoiding the appearance of that sad thing mentioned in the material. Parents should not put too much pressure to their children and try their best to understand them.。

Each passage is followed by five questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer and mark the corresponding letter with a single bar across the square brackets on your Machine-scoring ANSWER SHEET.Passage OneChoosing a travel companion is at least as uncertain as choosing marriage partner. The chances of success are perhaps even less. The initial stages of both journeys are filled with enthusiasms, indulgences, and a fairly consistent closing of the eyes to that which may later become, if not unacceptable, at the very least unpalatable.No law of casualty exists to insist that in choosing a travel companion you will lose a friend. But it’s not unlikely. The od ds depend on the length and the rigorousness of the trip. Some friendships have strength that will withstand even travel; others, based on happenstance, are by nature short-lived and travel merely hastens their dissolution.Perhaps I should make it clear that in discussing this matter of travel companions I am confining myself to Platonio friendships. Intimate friends may well be the best companions of all, but entirely different rules of travel prevail. Compromises and concessions, demands and entreaties to and from such companions clearly stem from a recognized emotional base that colors every issue. I’ll confine myself, then, to companions, male and female, who are sharing a trip solely for company.Why bother at all with a travel companion? Why not travel alone, in single blessedness, unencumbered and swiftly pursuing one’s goal? Some of the answers are obvious: a congenial fellow traveler eases the stress and tensions, adds to the delights and rewards and pays half the bills. If the threat of loneliness is frightening, even a grumpy companion will foretell that, and quite often bring you to the point where you devoutly wish you were alone.Finding that suitable companion is something of an art and something of a gamble. But the choice should be determined by one cardinal rule: both travelers should be going on the trip with the same idea in mind. They should hold in common a theory of travel.31. According to the author, compared with choosing a marriage partner, choosing a travel companion is ______.A. just as difficult as itB. is possibly easier than itC. is perhaps less certain than itD. is perhaps less uncertain than it32. Travel will give us a chance to ______.A. become strong and vigorousB. testify our friendshipC. see who is our enemyD. lose a friend同等学力考试报名/33. The travel companion the author refers to is ______.A. anybody you meetB. a spiritual friendC. an intimate friendD. anybody who shares a trip simply for partnership34. The author thinks that ______.A. unlike intimate friends, travel companion needn’t make many compromises and concessionsB. travel companions will add to the delights and pays half the billsC. it is possible to foretell whether two people will get along on the tripD. the advantages of choosing a travel companion are at least as great as those of traveling alone35. W e can infer from the passage that ______.A. a friend in need is a friend indeedB. opposite types of people attract each otherC. like-minded people can make good travel companionsD. even intimate friends have argumentsPassage TwoCoincident with concerns about the acceleration loss of species and habitats has been a growing appreciation of the importance of biological diversity, the number of species in a particular ecosystem, to the health of the Earth and human well-being. Much has been written about the diversity of terrestrial organisms, particularly the exceptionally rich life associated with tropical rainforest habitats. Relatively little has been said, however, about diversity of life in the sea even though coral reef systems are comparable to rain forests in terms of richness of life.An alien exploring Earth would probably give priority to the planet’s dominant, most distinctive feature—the ocean. Humans have a bias toward land that sometimes gets in the way of truly examining global issues. Seen from far away, it is easy to realize that landmasses occupy only one-third of the Earth’s surface. Given that two-thirds of the Earth surface is water and that marine life lives at all levels of the ocean, the total three-dimensional living space of the ocean is perhaps 100 times greater than that of land and contains more than 90 percent of all life on Earth even though the ocean has fewer distinct species.The fact that half of the known species are thought to inhabit the wo rld’s rain forest does not seem surprising, considering the huge numbers of insects that comprise the bulk of the species. One scientist found many different species of ants in just one tree from a rain forest. While every species is different from every other species, their genetic makeup constrains them to be insects and to share similar characteristics with 750,000 species of insects. If basic, broad categories such as phyla and classes are given more emphasis than differentiating between species, then the greatest diversity of life is unquestionably the sea. Nearly every major type of plant and animal has some representation there.To appreciate fully the diversity and abundance of life in the sea, it helps to think small. Every spoonful of ocean water contains life, on the order of 100 to 100,000 bacterial cells plus assorted microscopic plants and animals, including larvae of organisms ranging from sponges and corals to starfish and clams and much more.36. What is the main point of the passage?A. Humans are destroying thousands of species.B. There are thousands of insect species.C. The sea is even richer in life than the rain forests.D. Coral reefs are similar to rain forests.同等学力考试报名/37. Why does the author compare rain forests and coral reefs in Paragraph 1?A. They are approximately the same size.B. They share many similar species.C. Most of their inhabitants require water.D. Both have many different forms of life.38. The passage suggests that most rain forest species are ______.A. insectsB. bacteriaC. mammalsD. birds39. The word “assorted” at the end of the passage probably means ______.A. mixedB. numerousC. interestingD. accumulated40. Which of the following conclusions is supported by the passage?A. Ocean life is highly adaptive.B. More attention needs to be paid to preserving ocean species and habitats.C. Ocean life is primarily composed of plants.D. The sea is highly resistant to the damage done by pollutants.Passage ThreeEng land’s 400 HM Inspectors (Wales has its own force of 50) provide small teams to go into selected schools for a 3—5 day inspection according to size or type. This is sometimes because they have been criticized by parents, councilors on the press. There may be other reasons; possibly a school is known for its particularly high standards, in which case the Inspectorate will wish to learn the secret and pass it on to the Minister concerned. Possibly, an informal inspector’s visit had already dug up signs of tro uble. This would certainly lead to a fuller inspection.Schools cannot refuse to be inspected, nor can the inspectors order the dismissal of any member of staff. Teachers are not their concern. Teaching is. This is not to say that an awful teacher will be ignored. Remarks will certainly be made to the headmaster and chief education officer—but they will be verbal, not written.So what it is that HM Inspectors do? For one thing, they will want to take a close look at the courses offered and what standards are achieved by pupils. They also compare teachers’ qualifications with the subjects they teach. All too often teachers qualified in, say, history, are forced to teach maths, where there is a shortage.Examination results are also looked at carefully, as are the school’s disciplinary arrangements, its accommodation (Do pupils have to sit in the corridors or in mobile classrooms? Are Lavatories outside? Does the roof leak when it rains) and the textbooks and equipment used.Before leaving the inspected school, HMI will give the head and local authority leader some indication of its findings, so the reports, which take some months to put together and print, do not come as a total surprise.There are about 30,000 schools, colleges and polytechnics in England. Although there are only about 250 formal inspections a year, visits are far more numerous. Last year done, three out of four secondary schools, one-quarter of all primary and middle schools, almost half of the public schools, 70 percent of all independent schools and nine out of ten further and higher education colleges were visited.41. According to the passage, the Inspectors always visit schools ______.A. for the same number of daysB. if a brief inspection suggests something is wrongC. if parents have complained about themD. if they hear that the school is doing very well42. When the teachers at a school are unsatisfactory ______.A. the school can prevent the inspectors from seeing themB. the inspectors make critical comments同等学力考试报名/C. the inspectors send a report to the headmasterD. the inspectors have power to get rid of them43. The main reason why inspectors study teachers’ qualifications is that ______.A. many teachers are not officially qualifiedB. some teachers refuse to teach unpopular subjectsC. some teachers are not being employed appropriatelyD. headmasters often neglect certain subjects44. Inspectors’ recommendations on schools ______.A. are immediately communicated in general termsB. are kept secret from the schools concerned until they are made publicC. frequently come as a shook to headmastersD. take so long to appear that they are not very useful45. If you were a teacher in a secondary school in Britain, you would have been less likely to receive a visit from an inspector last year than ifyou worked in ______.A. a primary schoolB. a special schoolC. an independent schoolD. a further education collegePassage FourInternational ocean shipping constitutes a highly significant aspect of world economic and political relationships. The rapid growth in world trade and the emergence of new national entities in the last 30 years have further emphasized the role of international shipping. Because of the generally free environment in which it has operated, the industry is highly mobile and flexible—characteristics that, together with technological progress, have facilitated the rapid growth in world trade.In recent years, however, there have been several technological and institutional developments that are likely to have major efforts on the industry. One of the latter is the aggregation of conventions and practices known as the Law of the Sea, which has been discussed in the United Nations Conference on the Law of the Sea since 1958. The third UNCLOS began in 1974 and concluded when a treaty was issued on April 30, 1982. The treaty will enter in force when 60 nations have ratified it. How soon that will happen is, of course, not possible to say. What can be said is that a new legal structure governing the oceans appears to be evolving, with traditional principles giving way to new concepts. Since the environment in which an industry operates determines its structure and mode of operations, international shipping has been molded by the conventional principles governing the use of the oceans as highways and will be affected by shifts in the international climate and changes in the Law of Sea.Ocean shipping, as we know it today, has developed under the concepts of “freedom of the seas” and limited territorial waters with the rights of “innocent passage.” Clearly, a new Law of the Sea derived from a reinterpretation of these concepts will significan tly change the atmosphere in which the shipping industry operates and, accordingly, dictate revised policies and practices for both industry and public authorities. Minimally, ship operations must consider changes in the definitions of what constitutes the high seas. They must consider the corresponding changes in the jurisdiction of shipping lanes and coastal and open waters; compliance with rules for environmental protection; and vessel traffic controls in some areas.46.

And innovation, we are assured, is the main engine of economic growth.For policymakers everywhere, the task is to get the little critters to nest and breed. Give them the conditions they like—plenty of venture capital, tax breaks and a risk-taking culture—and the sun will shine on all of us, just like in California.Along comes Amar Bhide to tell us most of this is plain wrong. Entrepreneurs, he asserts, are not risk-takers at all. Nor do most of them innovate, or depend on venture capital.His findings are striking enough. Start with his assertion that entrepreneurs are not innovators or risk-takers. The vast majority of new businesses, he points out, start small and stay that way. These are the hairdressing salons, corner shops and landscape gardeners. Those are mature, predictable industries. For just that reason, they are the least profitable.The success stories come in areas of high uncertainty: where markets are changing fast because of technology, regulation or fashion. A very large proportion, unsurprisingly, are in computing.But Mr Bhide insists they are rarely innovative. The people who start high-growth businesses take a humdrum idea, usually from someone else, then change it constantly to fit the market. The starting point is much less important than what happens next.Nor are they risk-takers. These are typically young people, with no money, expertise or status. They have nothing to lose. Risk arrives later on, when they have made their pile and must decide whether to invest in long-term growth or sell out.This is one reason why so few promising start-ups become a Dell or Microsoft. Taking planned, calculated risks is the job of big, established companies, Mr Bhide argues. True entrepreneurs rarely have the temperament for it.What they have, instead, is a high tolerance for ambiguity—defined as knowledge that you know you do not have. Few of Mr. Bhide’s同等学力考试报名/ interviewees began with any kind of business plan. That would have been a waste of time: the future was simply too uncertain. Therein lay their opportunity.Big companies may be happy with risk, but they cannot stand ambiguity. They can invest billions in a chip plant or oil field, but only when they know the odds. When the odds are unknown, entrepreneurs have the game to themselves.51.

For each blank there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer for each blank and mark the corresponding letter with a single bar across the square brackets on your Machine-scoring ANSWER SHEET.“Intelligence” at best is an assumptive construct—the meaning of the word has never been clear. There is more agreement on the kinds of behavior 56 by the term than there is on how to interpret or classify them. 57 it is generally agreed that a person of high intelligence is one who can grasp ideas 58 , make distinctions, reason logically, and make use of verbal and mathematical 59 in solving problems. An intelligence test is a 60 measure o f a child’s capacity for learning, 61 for learning the kinds of things required in school. It does not measure character, social adjustment, physical endurance, manual skills, or artistic abilities. It is not 62 to—it was not designed for such purposes. To criticize it for such failure is roughly comparable to criticizing a thermometer for not measuring wind velocity.The other thing we have to 63 is that the assessment of the intelligence of any 64 is essentially a comparative affair. W e must be sure that the scale with which we are comparing our subjects provides a “valid” or “fair” comparison. 65 this, any test performed involves at least three factors: the 66 to do one’s best, the knowledge required for understanding 67 you have to do, and the 68同等学力考试报名/ ability to do it. The first two must be equal for all that are being compared, if any comparison 69 intelligence is to be made.No one is in the least interested in the marks a little child gets on his test; instead we are interested in 70 we can conclude from his mark on the test that the child will do better or worse than other children of his age at tasks which we think require “general intelligence”.56.
