Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A) ,B) ,C) and D). Y ou should divide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage OneQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage:Navigation computers, now sold by most car-makers, cost $2,000 and up. No surprise, then, that they are most often found in luxury cars, like Lexus, BMW and Audi. But it is a developing technology－meaning prices should eventually drop--and the market does seem to be growing.Even at current prices, a navigation computer is impressive. It can guide you from point to point in most major cities with precise turn-by-turn directions--spoken by a clear human-sounding voice, and written on a screen in front of thedriver.The computer works with an antenna ( 天线) that takes signals from no fewer than three of the 24 global positioning system (GPS) satellites. By measuring the time required for a signal to travel between the satellites and the antenna, the car#39;s location can be pinned down within 100 meters.The satellite signals, along with inputs on speed from a wheel-speed sensor and direction from a meter, determine the car#39;s position even as it moves. This information is combined with a map database. Streets, landmarks and points of interest are included.Most systems are basically identical. The differences come in hardware——the way the computer accepts the driver#39;s request for directions and the way it presents the driving instructions. On most systems, a driver enters a desired address, motorway junction or point of interest via a touch screen or disc. But the Lexus screen goes a step further: you can point to any spot on the map screen and get directions to it.BMW#39;s system offers a set of cross hairs ( 瞄准器上的十字纹) that can be moved across the map (you have several choices of map scale) to pick a point you#39;d like to get to. Audi#39;s screen can be switched to TV reception.Even the voices that recite the directions can differ, with better systems like BMW#39;s and Lexus#39;s having a wider vocabulary. The instructions are available in French, German, Spanish, Dutch and Italian, as well as English. The driver can also choose parameters for determining the route: fastest, shortest or no freeways ( 高速公路), for example.21. We learn from the passage that navigation computers________.A) will greatly promote sales of automobiles B) may help solve potential traffic problems C) are likely to be accepted by more drivers D) will soon be viewed as a symbol of luxury22. With a navigation computer, a driver will easily find the best route to his destination________. A) by inputting the exact address C) by checking his computerdatabase B) by indicating the location of his car D) by giving vocal orders to the computer23. Despite their varied designs, navigation computers used in cars A) are more or less the same price B) provide directions in much the same way C) work on more or less the same principles D) receive instructions from the same satellites24. The navigation computer functions________. A) by means of a direction finder and a speed detector B) basically on satellite signals and a map database C) mainly through the reception of turn-by-turn directions D) by using a screen to display satellite signals25. The navigation systems in cars like Lexus, BMW and Audi are mentioned to show A) the immaturity of the new technology B) the superiority of the global positioning system C) the cause of price fluctuations in car equipment D) the different ways of providing guidance to the driverPassage Two Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage. ”The world#39;s environment is surprisinglyhealthy. Discuss.” If that were an examination topic, most students would tear it apart, offering a long list of complaints: from local smog ( 烟雾) to global climate change, from the felling ( 砍伐) of forests to the extinction of species. The list would largely be accurate, the concern legitimate. Y et the students who should be given the highest marks would actually be those who agreed with the statement. The surprise is how good things are, not how bad.After all, the world#39;s population has more than tripled during this century, and world output has risen hugely, so you would expect the earth itself to have been affected. Indeed, if people lived, consumed and produced things in the same way as they did in 1900 (or 1950, or indeed 1980), the world by now would be a pretty disgusting place: smelly, dirty, toxic and dangerous.But they don#39;t. The reasons why they don#39;t, and why the environment has not been ruined, have to do with prices, technological innovation, social change and government regulation in response to popular pressure. That is why today#39;s environmental problems in the poorcountries ought, in principle, to be solvable.Raw materials have not run out, and show no sign of doing so. Logically, one day they must: the planet is a finite place. Y et it is also very big, and man is very ingenious. What has happened is that every time a material seems to be running short, the price has risen and, in response, people have looked for new sources of supply, tried to find ways to use less of the material, or looked for a new substitute. For this reason prices for energy and for minerals have fallen in real terms during the century. The same is true for food. Prices fluctuate, in response to harvests, natural disasters and political instability; and when they rise, it takes some time before new sources of supply become available. But they always do, assisted by new farming and crop technology. The long-term trend has been downwards.It is where prices and markets do not operate properly that this benign ( 良性的) trend begins to stumble, and the genuine problems arise. Markets cannot always keep the environment healthy. If no one owns the resource concerned, no one has an interest in conserving it or fostering it: fish is thebest example of this.26. According to the author, most students________.A) believe the world#39;s environment is in an undesirable condition B) agree that the environment of the world is not as bad as it is thought to be C) get high marks for their good knowledge of the world#39;s environmentD) appear somewhat unconcerned about the state of the world#39;s environment27. The huge increase in world production and population ________. A) has made the world a worse place to live in B) has had a positive influence on the environment C) has not significantly affected the environment D) has made the world a dangerous place to live in28. One of the reasons why the long-term trend of prices has been downwards is that________. A) technological innovation can promote social stability B) political instability will cause consumption to drop C) new farming and crop technology can lead to overproduction D) new sources are always becoming available29. Fish resources are diminishing because________.A) no new substitutes can be found in large quantities B) they are not owned by any particular entity C) improper methods of fishing have mined the fishing grounds D) water pollution is extremely serious30. The primary solution to environmental problems is________. A) to allow market forces to operate properly B) to curb consumption of natural resources C) to limit the growth of the world population D) to avoid fluctuations in pricesPassage Three Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage. About the time that schools and others quite reasonably became interested in seeing to it that all children, whatever their background, were fairly treated, intelligence testing became unpopular.Some thought it was unfair to minority children. Through the past few decades such testing has gone out of fashion and many communities have indeed forbidden it.However, paradoxically, just recently a group of blackparents filed a lawsuit (诉讼) in California claiming that the state#39;s ban on IQ testing discriminates against their children by denying them the opportunity to take the test. (They believed, correctly, that IQ tests are a valid method of evaluating children for special education classes.) The judge, therefore, reversed, at least partially, his original decision.And so the argument goes on and on. Does it benefit or harm children from minority groups to have their intelligence tested? We have always been on the side of permitting, even facilitating, such testing. If a child of any color or group is doing poorly in school it seems to us very important to know whether it is because he or she is of low intelligence, or whether some other factor is the cause.What school and family can do to improve poor performance is influenced by its cause. It is not discriminative to evaluate either a child#39;s physical condition or his intellectual level.Unfortunately, intellectual level seems to be a sensitive subject, and what the law allows us to do varies from time totime. The same fluctuation back and forth occurs in areas other than intelligence. Thirty years or so ago, for instance, white families were encouraged to adopt black children. It was considered discriminative not to do so.And then the style changed and this cross-racial adopting became generally unpopular, and social agencies felt that black children should go to black families only. It is hard to say what are the best procedures. But surely good will on the part of all of us is needed.As to intelligence, in our opinion, the more we know about any child#39;s intellectual level, the better for the child in question.31. Why did the intelligence test become unpopular in the past few decades? A) Its validity was challenged by many communities. B) It was considered discriminative against minority children. C) It met with strong opposition from the majority of black parents. D) It deprived the black children of their rights to a good education.32. The recent legal action taken by some black parents in California aimed to________. A) draw public attention to IQ testing C) remove the state#39;s ban on intelligence tests B) put an end to special education D) have their children enter white schools33. The author believes that intelligence testing ________. A) may ease racial confrontation in the United States B) can encourage black children to keep up with white children C) may seriously aggravate racial discrimination in the United StatesD) can help black parents make decisions about their children#39;s education34. The author#39;s opinion of child adoption seems to be that________. A) no rules whatsoever can be prescribed B) white families should adopt black children C) adoption should be based on IQ test results D) cross-racial adoption is to be advocated35. Child adoption is mentioned in the passage to show that _______. A) good will may sometimes complicate racial problems B) social surroundings are vital to the healthygrowth of children C) intelligence testing also applies to non-academic areas D) American opinion can shift when it comes to sensitive issuesPassage Four Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage. Not too many decades ago it seemed “obvious” both to the general public and to sociologists that modern society has changed people#39;s natural relations, loosened their responsibilities to kin (亲戚) and neighbors, and substituted in their place superficial relationships with passing acquaintances. However, in recent years a growing body of research has revealed that the “obvious” is not true. It seems that if you are a city resident, you typically know a smaller proportion of your neighbors than you do if you are a resident of a smaller community. But, for the most part, this fact has few significant consequences. It does not necessarily follow that if you know few of your neighbors you will know no one else.Even in very large cities, people maintain close social ties within small, private social worlds. Indeed, the number and quality of meaningful relationships do not differ betweenmore and less urban people. Small-town residents are more involved with kin than are big-city residents. Y et city dwellers compensate by developing friendships with people who share similar interests and activities. Urbanism may produce a different style of life, but the quality of life does not differ between town and city. Nor are residents of large communities any likelier to display psychological symptoms of stress or alienation, a feeling of not belonging, than are residents of smaller communities. However, city dwellers do worry more about crime, and this leads them to a distrust of strangers.These findings do not imply that urbanism makes little or no difference. If neighbors are strangers to one another, they are less likely to sweep the sidewalk of an elderly couple living next door or keep an eye out for young trouble makers. Moreover, as Wirth suggested, there may be a link between a community#39;s population size and its social heterogeneity ( 多样性). For instance, sociologists have found much evidence that the size of a community is associated with bad behavior including gambling, drugs, etc. Large-city urbanites are also more likely than their small-town counterparts to have a cosmopolitan (见多识广者的) outlook, to display lessresponsibility to traditional kinship roles, to vote for leftist political candidates, and to be tolerant of nontraditional religious groups, unpopular political groups, and so-called undesirables. Everything considered, heterogeneity and unusual behavior seem to be outcomes of large population size.36. Which of the following statements best describes the organization of the first paragraph? A) Two contrasting views are presented. B) An argument is examined and possible solutions given. C) Research results concerning the quality of urban life are presented in order of time. D) A detailed description of the difference between urban and small-town life is given.37. According to the passage, it was once a common belief that urban residents______. A) did not have the same interests as their neighbors B) could not develop long-standing relationships C) tended to be associated with bad behavior D) usually had more friends38. One of the consequences of urban life is that impersonalrelationships among neighbors____. A) disrupt people#39;s natural relations B) make them worry about crime C) cause them not to show concern for one another D) cause them to be suspicious of each other39. It can be inferred from the passage that the bigger a community is,______. A) the better its quality of life B) the more similar its interests C) the more tolerant and open-minded it is D) the likelier it is to display psychological symptoms of stress40. What is the passage mainly about? A) Similarities in the interpersonal relationships between urbanites and small-town dwellers. B) Advantages of living in big cities as compared with living in small towns. C) The positive role that urbanism plays in modern life. D) The strong feeling of alienation of city inhabitants.Part Ⅲ Vocabulary （20 minutes）Directions: There are 30 incomplete sentences in this part.

They found negotiators with the good trait record and studied them in action. They compared them with another group of average negotiators and found that there was no difference in the time that the two groups spent on planning their strategy. However, there weresome significant differences on other points. The average negotiators thought in terms of the present, but the good negotiators took a long-time review. They made lots of suggestions and considered twice the number of the alternatives. The average negotiators set their objectives as single points. We hope to get two dollars, for example. The good negotiators set their objectives in terms of range, which they might formulate as "We hope to get two dollars, but if we get onedollar and fifty, it will be all right.". The average negotiators tried to persuade by giving lots of reasons. They use a lot of different arguments. The good negotiators didn't give many reasons. They just repeated the same ones. They also did more summarizing and reviewing, checking they were understood correctly.11.What do good negotiators and average negotiators have in common?12.According to the speaker, what would good negotiators do?13.According to the speaker, what does the average negotiator usually do?Passage 2To most of us sharks are the most dangerous fish in the sea and they attack humans. However, according to Doctor Clark, who has studied the behavior of sharks for twelve years, humans are not normally on the shark's menu. What do sharks feed on, mainly fish and other sea animals? Doctor Clark also found that sharks don't eat as much food as people think. For instance, a nine-year-old shark only needs two pound of food a day to keep healthy. But she says, sharks sometimes starve and at other times they fill themselves with what they have killed. Around the world, there are only about one hundred shark attacks on humans each year, ten of which proved fatal. But consider this, in the US alone, about three million people are bitten by dogs each year. Of these, thirty people die. If sharks bite you, says Doctor Clark, the reason is usually because of the mistake you natural food. For example, say you went underwater-fishing and saw a shark, you could be in trouble. The shark might go for the injured fish you had attacked and take a bite of you at the same time. If you go into a shark's territory and threaten it, it might try to bite you. That's because sharks are territorial and tend to guard their territory. Like dogs, they protect the area they think is their own.14.What does the passage say about the eating behavior of sharks?15.When might a shark attach humans?16.What do we learn from the passage about sharks?Passage 3Science fiction writers have often imagined humans going to live on the Mars. But these days, scientists are taking the idea seriously. It has a great deal to recommend it, since it might solve the problem of overcrowding on the earth. But obviously, it would not be worth making the effort unless people could live there naturally. If the atmosphere were like that of the earth, this might be possible. But in fact it is mostly carbonoxidite. Apart from that, there are other problems to be overcome. For example, the temperature would have to be raised from 6degrees below zero to 15 degrees above it. Scientists who study Mars have laid down the program that they can follow. To begin with, they will have to find out whether life has ever existed on the planet of Mars in the past. Secondly they will have to make a reliable map of its surface. And finally, they will have to make a list of the gases. Above all, they will have to discover how much nitrogen it possesses. Since nitrogen is four fifths of the air we breathe, they are surprising optimistic about raising the temperature on Mars and believe it could be down in hundred years. It will take a bit longer, though, to transform the atmosphere so that human beings could live there. Scientists estimate this will take one hundred thousand years.17.Why are scientists interested in Mars?18.What is the one of the things that must be done if a man can live on Mars?19.Why do scientist want to find out whether there is sufficient nitrogen on Mars?20.What is the prospect of people living on Mars?。

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B) C)and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter onthe Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage OneQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage:Navigation computers, now sold by most car-makers, cost $2,000 and up. No surprise, then, that they are most often found in luxury cars, like Lexus, BMW and Audi. But it is a developing technology — meaning prices should eventually drop — and the market does seem to be growing.Even at current prices, a navigation computer is impressive. It can guide you from point to point in most major cities with precise turn-by-turn directions —spoken by a clear human- sounding voice, and written on a screen in front of the driver.The computer works with an antenna (天线) that takes signals from no fewer than three of the 24 global positioning system (GPS) satellites. By measuring the time required for a signal to travel between the satellites and the antenna, the car’s location can be pinned down within 100 meters.The satellite signals, along with inputs on speed from a wheel-speed sensor and direction from a meter, determine the car’s position even as it moves. This information is combined with a map database. Streets, landmarks and points of interest are included.Most systems are basically identical. The differences come in hardware —the way the computer accepts the driver’s request for directions and the way it presents the driving instructions. On most systems, a driver enters a desired address, motorway junction or point of interest via a touch screen or disc. But the Lexus screen goes a step further: you can point to any spot on the map screen and get directions to it.BMW’s system offers a set of cross hairs (瞄准器上的十字纹) that can be moved across the map (you have several choices of map scale) to pick a point you’d like to get to. Audi’s screen can be switched to TV reception.Even the voices that recite the directions can differ, with better systems like BMW’s and Lexus’s having a wider vocabulary. The instructions are available in French, German, Spanish, Dutch and Italian, as well as English. The driver can also choose parameters for determining the route: fastest, shortest or no freeways (高速公路), for example.21. We learn from the passage that navigation computers ________.A) will greatly promote sales of automobilesB) may help solve potential traffic problemsC) are likely to be accepted by more driversD) wills soon be viewed as a symbol of luxury22. With a navigation computer, a driver will easily find the best route to his destination________.A) by inputting the exact addressB) by indicating the location of his carC) by checking his computer databaseD) by giving vocal orders to the computer23. Despite their varied designs, navigation computers used in cars ________.A) are more or less the same priceB) provide directions in much the same wayC) work on more or less the same principlesD) receive instructions from the same satellites24. The navigation computer functions ________.A) by means of a direction finder and a speed detectorB) basically on satellite signals and a map databaseC) mainly through the reception of turn-by-turn directionsD) by using a screen to display satellite signals25. The navigation systems in cars like Lexus, BMW and Audi are mentioned to show ________.A) the immaturity of the new technologyB) the superiority of the global positioning systemC) the cause of price fluctuations in car equipmentD) the different ways of providing guidance to the driverPassage TwoQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage:“The world’s environment is surprisingly healthy. Discuss.” If that were an examination topic, most students would tear it apart, offering a long list of complaints: from local smog (烟雾) to global climate change, from the felling (砍伐) of forests to the extinction of species. The list would largely be accurate, the concern legitimate. Yet the students who should be given the highest marks would actually be those who agreed with the statement. The surprise is how good things are, not how bad.After all, the world’s population has more than tripled during this century, and world output has risen hugely, so you would expect the earth itself to have been affected. Indeed, if people lived, consumed and produced things in the same way as they did in 1900 (or 1950, or indeed 1980), the world by now would be a pretty disgusting place: smelly, dirty, toxic and dangerous.But they don’t. The reasons why they don’t, and why the environment has not been ruined, have to do with prices, technological innovation, social change and government regulation in response to popular pressure. That is why today’s environmental problems in the poor countries ought, in principle, to be solvable.Raw materials have not run out, and show no sign of doing so. Logically, one day they must: the planet is a finite place. Yet it is also very big, and man is very ingenious. What has happened is that every time a material seems to be running short, the price has risen and, in response, people have looked for new sources of supply, tried to find ways to use less of the material, or looked for a new substitute. For this reason prices for energy and for minerals have fallen in real terms during the century. The same is true for food. Prices fluctuate, in response to harvests, natural disasters and political instability; and when they rise, it takes some time before new sources of supply become available. But they always do, assisted by new farming and crop technology. The long- term trend has been downwards.It is where prices and markets do not operate properly that this benign (良性的) trend begins to stumble, and the genuine problems arise. Markets cannot always keep the environment healthy. If no one owns the resource concerned, no one has an interest in conserving it or fostering it: fish is the best example of this.26. According to the author, most students ________.A) believe the world’s environment is in an undesirable conditionB) agree that the environment of the world is not as bad as it is thought to beC) get high marks for their good knowledge of the world’s environmentD) appear somewhat unconcerned about the state of the world’s environment27. The huge increase in world production and population ________.A) has made the world a worse place to live inB) has had a positive influence on the environmentC) has not significantly affected the environmentD) has made the world a dangerous place to live in28. One of the reasons why the long-term trend of prices has been downwards is that ________.A) technological innovation can promote social stabilityB) political instability will cause consumption to dropC) new farming and crop technology can lead to overproductionD) new sources are always becoming available29. Fish resources are diminishing because ________.A) no new substitutes can be found in large quantitiesB) they are not owned by any particular entityC) improper methods of fishing have ruined the fishing groundsD) water pollution is extremely serious30. The primary solution to environmental problems is ________.A) to allow market forces to operate properlyB) to curb consumption of natural resourcesC) to limit the growth of the world populationD) to avoid fluctuations in pricesPassage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:About the time that schools and others quite reasonably became interested in seeing to it that all children, whatever their background, were fairly treated, intelligence testing became unpopular.Some thought it was unfair to minority children. Through the past few decades such testing has gone out of fashion and many communities have indeed forbidden it.However, paradoxically, just recently a group of black parents filed a lawsuit (诉讼) in California claiming that the state’s ban on IQ testing discriminates against their children by denying them the opportunity to take the test. (They believed, correctly, that IQ tests are a valid method of evaluating children for special education classes.) The judge, therefore, reversed, at least partially, his original decision.And so the argument goes on and on. Does it benefit or harm children from minority groups to have their intelligence tested? We have always been on the side of permitting, even facilitating, such testing. If a child of any color or group is doing poorly in school it seems to us very important to know whether it is because he or she is of low intelligence, or whether some other factor is the cause.What school and family can do to improve poor performance is influenced by its cause. It is not discriminative to evaluate either a child’s physical condition or his intellectual level.Unfortunately, intellectual level seems to be a sensitive subject, and what the law allows us to do varies from time to time. The same fluctuation back and forth occurs in areas other than intelligence. Thirty years or so ago, for instance, white families were encouraged to adopt black children. It was considered discriminative not to do so.And then the style changed and this cross-racial adopting became generally unpopular, andsocial agencies felt that black children should go to black families only. It is hard to say what are the best procedures. But surely good will on the part of all of us is needed.As to intelligence, in our opinion, the more we know about any child’s intellectual level, the better for the child in question.31. Why did the intelligence test become unpopular in the past few decades?A) Its validity was challenged by many communities.B) It was considered discriminative against minority children.C) It met with strong opposition from the majority of black parents.D) It deprived the black children of their rights to a good education.32. The recent legal action taken by some black parents in California aimed to ________.A) draw public attention to IQ testingB) put an end to special educationC) remove the state’s ban on intelligence testsD) have their children enter white schools33. The author believes that intelligence testing ________.A) may ease racial confrontation in the United StatesB) can encourage black children to keep up with white childrenC) may seriously aggravate racial discrimination in the United StatesD) can help black parents make decisions abut their children’s education34. The author’s opinion of child adoption seems to be that ________.A) no rules whatsoever can be prescribedB) white families should adopt black childrenC) adoption should be based on IQ test resultsD) cross-racial adoption is to be advocated35. Child adoption is mentioned in the passage to show that ________.A) good will may sometimes complicate racial problemsB) social surroundings are vital to the healthy growth of childrenC) intelligence testing also applies to non-academic areasD) American opinion can shift when it comes to sensitive issuesPassage FourQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:Not too many decades ago it seemed “obvious” both to the general public and to sociologists that modern society has changed people’s natural relations, loosened their responsibilities to kin (亲戚) and neighbors, and substituted in their place superficial relationships with passing acquaintances. However, in recent years a growing body of research has revealed that the “obvious”is not true. It seems that if you are a city resident, you typically know a smaller proportion of your neighbors than you do if you are a resident of a smaller community. But, for the most part, this fact has few significant consequences. It does not necessarily follow that if you know few of your neighbors you will know no one else.Even in very large cities, people maintain close social ties within small, private social worlds. Indeed, the number and quality of meaningful relationships do not differ between more and lessurban people. Small-town residents are more involved with kin than are big-city residents. Yet city dwellers compensate by developing friendships with people who share similar interests and activities. Urbanism may produce a different style of life, but the quality of life does not differ between town and city. Nor are residents of large communities any likelier to display psychological symptoms of stress or alienation, a feeling of not belonging, than are residents of smaller communities. However, city dwellers do worry more about crime, and this leads them to a distrust of strangers.These findings do not imply that urbanism makes little or no difference. If neighbors are strangers to one another, they are less likely to sweep the sidewalk of an elderly couple living next door or keep an eye out for young trouble makers. Moreover, as Wirth suggested, there may be a link between a community’s population size and its social heterogeneity (多样性). For instance, sociologists have found much evidence that the size of a community is associated with bad behavior including gambling, drugs, etc. Large-city urbanites are also more likely than their small-town counterparts to have a cosmopolitan (见多识广者的) outlook, to display less responsibility to traditional kinship roles, to vote for leftist political candidates, and to be tolerant of nontraditional religious groups, unpopular political groups, and so-called undesirables. Everything considered, heterogeneity and unusual behavior seem to be outcomes of large population size.36. Which of the following statements best describes the organization of the first paragraph?A) Two contrasting views are presented.B) An argument is examined and possible solutions given.C) Research results concerning the quality of urban life are presented in order of time.D) A detailed description of the difference between urban and small-town life is given.37. According to the passage, it was once a common belief that urban residents ________.A) did not have the same interests as their neighborsB) could not develop long-standing relationshipsC) tended to be associated with bad behaviorD) usually had more friends38. One of the consequences of urban life is that impersonal relationships among neighbors________.A) disrupt people’s natural relationsB) make them worry about crimeC) cause them not to show concern for one anotherD) cause them to be suspicious of each other39. It can be inferred from the passage that the bigger a community is, ________.A) the better its quality of lifeB) the more similar its interestsC) the more tolerant and open-minded it isD) the likelier it is to display psychological symptoms of stress40. What is the passage mainly about?A) Similarities in the interpersonal relationships between urbanites and small-town dwellers.B) Advantages of living in big cities as compared with living in small town.C) The positive role that urbanism plays in modern life.D) The strong feeling of alienation of city inhabitants.Part III Vocabulary and Structure (20 minutes)Directions:There are 30 incomplete sentences in this part.

I'll give u the activity schedule later. But, now I want to answer a question one of u asked me yesterday about camps with as thma. Let me explain a little about the disease. First of all, it's chronical and very commo n. 20 million people in the United States alone have it. It affects the bronchial tubes that are the airways of the lungs. During normal breathing, air is drawn in through the mouse an d nose, and eventually makes its way into the bronchial tubes. The asthma patient's bronchia l tubes are very sensitive, and easily irritated by exercises or strength, exposure to aller gy or pollution, or breathing in cold air, cigarettes smoke. When asthmatic suffers an attac k, the airway path was constricted, making it difficult for the person from breathing normal ly. If a camp in your group has even a mild asthma, you would be informed and given further instruction about what to do in case of an attack. But don't worry. Some of our camps might have a mild case, but they always bring their medicines with them and we never have a proble m. Are there any other questions? Ok, let's talk about the schedule for tomorrow.40：Q: what does the speaker mainly discuss?41： Q: according to the speaker, what part of asthmatic's body is particularly sensitive? 42： Q: what does the speaker say about the camps who have asthma?43： Q: why does the speaker mention cigarette smoke?44-47：Question 44-47: listen to part of a talk in astronomy classToday most astronomers accept the notion that groups of stars that make up the universe are all moving farther and farther away from each other. but until very recently this idea of an expanding universe was not a theory most European scholars believed in since ancient times and up to about the17th century most of these scholars thought the size of the universe have remained unchanged since the moment of its creation or perhaps forever, with all the stars remaining more or less in place in relation to each other. but that was challenged in the la te 17th century by Izic Newton's idea of gravity as a force of attraction, which contradicte d the idea of a university that is static, unchanging. If gravity causes all the stars out t here in space to attract each other as Newton said, then they could remain motionless. Soone r or later all the stars will fall in absorb each other. well, scientists then propose a new model, taking Newton's theory into account, they didn't want to abandon the idea of motionl ess stars, but for this model to work, so the stars won't fall in each other, they had to mo dify Newton's law of gravity, so they theorize that for distance as large as those between s tars, the gravitation force repels rather attracts. As you might guess, this other contradic tions. But this is prettily resolved in the past centuries by currently accepted theory, whi ch says the universe is continuously expanding. You'll be reading all about that as your hom ework tonight.44： Q: what does the professor mainly discuss?45： Q: what did most European scholars believe before 17th century about the size of the un46： Q: what did some scientists try to explain by suggesting that stars repel each other? 47： Q: what will the students read about for homework?48-50：Question 48-50: listen to a talk in a biology classOn Monday we talked about insects, and how they gather food. Today I'd like to talk about th e common garden spider and how it captures its prey with net-like structure it first produce d almost 200 million years ago. I mean, of course a spider web. What's interesting is why su ch a delicate structure isn't hard. When a fast-flying insect crashes into it, and compared with the spider, these insects can be huge and really heavy. In fact capturing a large insec t in a spider web could be compared to capture an airplane in a fishing net. So, how can the web offset such a shock without breaking? is it just because the thread is made of so stron g? well, experts analyze spider webs using a computer program designed when an insect crashe d and caught and they found the structure of the web, the way of threads connected together helps balance the strength and tensions caused by the impact and spread them all across the web this saves the web from being destroyed and by the way, suggests some creative new ideas that human might use in designing buildings. The biggest surprise, though, is the role of a ir resistance in cushioning the shock of collision. The computer model showed that dragging a tightening thread from a spider web through the air is a lot like pulling a heavy rope thr ough water. And since air resistance acts on many threads all across the web its amazing eff ect that multiplies many times. And this definitely helps the web survive the impact48：Q: what is the talk mainly about?49：Q: what does the speaker say about some of the insects that spiders capture?50：Q: according to the speaker, who might benefit from studying spider webs?。

The parrot was unique. There was no bird like him in the whole world. He could learn to say any word except one. He could not say the name of his native town, Ketunnel. The man did everything he could to teach the parrot to say Ketunnel, but he never succeeded. At first he was very gentle with the bird. But gradually, he lost his temper. “You stupid bird. Why can’t you learn to say that one word? Say Ketunnel or I will kill you.” But the parrot would not say it. Many times the man screamed, “Say Ketunnel, or I’ll kill you.” But the bird would never repeat the name. Finally, the man gave up. He picked up the parrot and threw him into the chicken house. “You are even more stupid than the chickens.” In the chicken house, there were four old chickens, waiting to be killed for Sunday’s dinner. The next morning, when he went out of the chicken house, the man opened the door. He was shocked by what he saw. He could not believe his eyes and ears. On the floor lay three dead chickens. The parrot was screaming at the fourth, “Say Ketunnel, or I’ll kill you.”Questions 11 to 13 are based on the passage you have just heard.11. Why did the man lose his temper?12. Who killed the three chickens?13. Why was the shocked at the scene the next morning?Passage TwoIn Britain, if you are found guilty of a crime, you can be sent to prison or be fined or be ordered to do community work such as tidying public places and helping the old. You may also be sent to special centers when you learn special skills like cooking, writing and car maintenance. About 5 percent of the present population are women. Many prisons were built over one hundred years ago. But the government will have built 11 new prisons by next year. There are two sorts of prisons: the open sort and the closed sort. In the closed sort, prisoners are given very little freedom. They spend three to ten hours outside their cells when they exercise, eat, study, learn skills, watch TV and talk to other prisoners. All prisoners are expected to work. Most of them are paid for what they do, whether it is doing maintenance or cooking and cleaning. Prisoners in open prisons are locked up at night, but for the rest of the time, they are free within the prison grounds. They can exercise, have visitors, or study. And some are allowed out of the ground to study or to do community work.Questions 14 to 16 are based on the passage you have just heard.14. What do we know about women prisoners in Britain?15. In what way are open prisons different from closed prisons?16. What do we learn about prisoners in Britain?Passage ThreeLondon taxi drivers know the capital like the back of their hands. No matter how small or indistinct the street is, the driver will be able to get you there without any trouble. The reason London taxi drivers are so efficient is that they all have gone through a very tough training period to get special taxi driving license. During this period, which can take two to four years, the would-be taxi driver has to learn the most direct route to every single road and to every important building in London. To achieve this, most learners go around the city on small motorbikes practicing how to move to and from different points of the city. Learner taxi drivers are tested several times during the training period by government officers. The exams are terrible experience. The officers ask you “How do you get from Birmingham palace to the Tower of London?” and you have to take them there in the direct line. When you get to the tower, they won’t say “well done”. They will quickly move on to the next question. After five or six questions, they will just say “See you in two months’ time.” and then you know the exam is over. Learner drivers are not allowed to work and earn money as drivers. Therefore, many of them keep their previous jobs until they have obtained the license. The training can cost quite a lot, because learners have to pay for their own expenses on the tests and the medical exam.Questions 17 to 20 are based on the passage you have just heard.17. Why are London taxi drivers very efficient?18. How long does the training period last?19. Why does the speaker think the driving test is a terrible experience?20. Why do learner drivers have to keep their present jobs?。

There're no personalities involved as in radio or TV.M: Yes. But being impersonal does not mean objectivity. (1) Newspapers are written by people who have biases and prejudices.W: (3) You said it. (1) On the other hand, radio and television can be just as biased as, if not more biased than, news-M: People on radio and television are trying to stick closely to a script.W: Even without a script, people will let their biases show.M: So the difference between newspapers on the one hand and radio and television on the other is personality.W: Yes. When you read a newspaper article, it's kind of cold,M: (2) There're no voice inflections.W: (2) And there're no facial expressions or body language, either.M: It could be a real exciting story, and all you can do is put exclamation marks.W: But on camera, people can interpret the words of a script in their voices and expressions.M: That would have an impact on the audience.W: Yes. People are more likely to be influenced by what's offered on radio and television than in newspapers.M: Of course, newspaper writers can use descriptive words such as adjectives or adverbs, but that's nothing compared with personalities.W: Yes.M: Personality sells.Key: 1.C 2.B 3.AQuestions 4 to 6 are based on the following conversation.W: Welcome to visit out city, Mr. Lewis-but, of course, you have been here before, haven't you?M: Yes, I have. What a good memory I have I I was here for the Arts Festival last year.W; And what will you be doing this year?M: (4) Oh,I came here primarily for a holiday and to see some friends. But I will also be giving private cello lessons as well.W: I believe that your cello is rather special. Is that true?M; Oh, yes. It was made for my uncle by a very expert German cello maker called Schuster. (5) When I began cello lessons at the age of eight, he said that when I grew big enough to handle a full-sized cello, he would give it to me.W: (5)So when a child begins to play the cello, he or she starts on a smaller instrument?M: (5) Of course, or he would be very uncomfortable. Many children begin with half-sized cello, but as I was big for my age, I began with a two-third-sized cello.W: Are you going to other places on this trip and will you take your cello with you? M: Yes, very definitely.W: But, isn't it difficult to take a cello around with you?M: Not really. (6)1 just receive two seats when I'm traveling anywhere, one for me and one for my cello. It's such a precious instrument to me that it hardly ever leaves my side.Key: 4.B 5.C 6.CQuestions 7 to 10 are based on the following conversation.M: Good morning, Miss Brown. Have a seat please. I have been looking through your application. You seem to have many of the qualifications needed for this position, especially the experience.W: I have been working in hotels for eight years now.M: Oh, really. Were you satisfied with your last position?W: (7) Well, to be honest, not entirely. The chances for advancement were very slim. M: I see. Was it hard work?W: No, it's an interesting job and I loved meeting people. I know how to handle a bad-tempered guest.M: (9) But have you done anything to do with —a tour guide?W: (8)1 did work for a short time as an attendant for a tour operator, taking foreigners on guided tours of London.M: (9)Do you speak any foreign languages?W: Yes. I speak German and Spanish—you see ,(10)1 spent several years abroad when I was young.M: Oh, did you? Next is the question of salary, of course.W: ( 10) Well, I used to get 2 000 monthly, so I couldn't accept less than that.M: Well, (9) we ask for loyalty and hard work from our employees. But we pay well, and opportunities for promotion depend on merit, not just on age or seniority.W: Mr. Robert, (10) I don't mind working hard and working overtime.M: That's fine. (10)1 have a few more applicants to interview today for this position. But at the moment, your chance looks very good.W: I'm glad to hear it.Key: 7.C 8.C 9.B 10.CSECTION B PASSAGESQuestions II to 13 are based on the following passage.Even a careful motorist may have the misfortune to commit a motoring offence. In due course, having received a summons , he will appear in (11) what is commonly known as a police-court. This is a court presided over by a civil officer, who tries cases without a jury. A civil officer, has powers to pass sentence for relatively minor offences only; serious charges are dealt with by a judge and jury.When his case comes up in court, the motorist hears his name called by the clerk of the court, and comes forward to identify himself. The civil officer then calls for the policeman who charged the offender and asks him to give evidence. (12)The policeman also is expected to give an account of what happened when the offence was committed and to mention any special circumstances. For instance, the offence may have been partly due to the foolishness of another motorist. It would be unwise for the accused motorist to exaggerate this. It will not help his case to try to blame someone else for his own mistake.The civil officer, on hearing that some other motorist is involved, will doubtless say, " What is being done about this man? ""Case coming up later this afternoon, "may will be the answer.(13) If you are guilty, it is of course wise to plead guilty and apologize for committing the offence and taking up the court's time.Key:11.A 12.A 13.BQuestions 14 to 16 are based on the following passage.Scientists say there are more than 350 different kinds of sharks.Sharks do not have bones ,(14) and a shark has an extremely good sense of smell. It can find small amounts of substances in the water, such as blood, body liquids and chemicals produced by animals. Sharks also sense electrical and magnetic power linked to nerves and muscles of living animals. These powerful senses help them find their food. Some sharks will eat just about anything. Many unusual things have been found in the stomachs of some tiger sharks. They include shoes, dogs, a cow's foot and metal protective clothing.About forty percent of the different kinds of sharks lay eggs. The others give birthto live young. Some sharks carry their young inside their bodies like humans do.Scientists are beginning to understand the importance of sharks to humans. (15) Medical researchers want to learn more about the shark's body defense system against disease. They know that sharks recover quickly from injuries. Sharks appear never to suffer infections, cancer or heart diseases.Key: 14.B 15.B 16.DQuestions 17 to 20 are based on the following passage.Not every service or product meets your satisfaction. When you are dissatisfied, you should voice your dissatisfaction. (17) One reason for doing so is to help the vendor know there is a problem. The problem may have been created at a lowerlevel in the vendor's company, and the vendor himself may know nothing about it &t all. You help him when you bring weaknesses or failures to his attention.A second reason for writing a letter of complaint to a vendor is to seek compensation. You may not wish to pursue the matter so far as to take legal action, but you may wish to give the vendor the opportunity of making good. ( 18) Most vendors value your business and their reputation sufficiently to replace defective goods on their own initiative or refund money when necessary. This is the preferred way of making a vendor answer your complaint. No vendor likes to do so, but (19) your carefully worded letter of complaint may motivate him to do so.When you write a letter of complaint, you'd better keep these tips in mind: ( 20 ) First, be polite though firm. You will not win a vendor's cooperation by anger. Secondly, be reasonable. Show logically and factually that the fault lies with the vendor. Thirdly, be specific about what is wrong and what you want done about it. Lastly, tell how you have been hurt or inconvenienced by the problem. This strengthens your argument for compensation.Key: 17.A 18. C 19.D 20.DSECTION C NEWS BROADCASTNews Item IBritain has announced that it decided to cancel about 200 million pounds of world debts owed to it by poor common-wealth countries. The international development secretary says (21) the relief has been offered to countries committed to eliminating poverty, and pursuing good sovemment. These would include taking actions against corruption. At the same time, common market finance ministers are meeting in Malaysia. Britain is expected to put forth a fresh initiative on reducing the debts of the poorest countries. (22) The Charles Levine strategist has indicated that they plan to revive the scheme put forward last year by the International Monetary Fund, which has not yet provided any relief.Key: 21.D 22.BNews Item 2(23) An underground train derailed at the station in central Paris yesterday, injuring 23 people and just missing another underground train standing on the opposite track. French emergency services said the train was traveling at 35 kilometers per hour when it derailed as it entered the station. No one has been killed and no one was trapped in train during the accident. Ambulances rushed to the scene and doctors began treating casualties in the station. In a nearby cafe, some people have broken limbs and others have suffered bruising. (24) None was in a critical condition. Last night, it was not known why the train came off the tracks.Key: 23.C 24.ANews Item 3(25) Argentina civil servants held a 24-hour strike yesterday to protest pay cuts of 12-15% for anyone earning more than 1 000 V. S. dollars a month. Public service unions and the local teamsters planned to hold the protest rally in front ofthe government house. (26) The work stoppage comes after last Friday's general strike when many of Argentina's 12 millions workers stayed home after the nation's powerful General Workers Confederation, the nation's largest union group, called a one-day strike to protest spending cuts and free market reforms.Key: 25.C 26.ANews Item 4(27) Germany was due to strike a deal yesterday to close down its 19 nuclear power plants, making it the first major industrial nation to commit to withdrawing from nuclear energy. The talks between chancellor of the Kern government and the chiefs of the German energy industry began at 8: 30 p.m. (28) Closure of Germany's 19 reactors, which provided around a third of the country's electricity needs, was the key pledge of the Greenes, the junior partner in this coalition government.Key: 27.D 28.CNews Item 5(29) The UN children's program UNICEF says it plans to help millions of African children return to school or start classes for the first time next year. The agency's executive director says more than twenty-four million children in Africa are not in school because of discrimination, school fees or other factors. Meanwhile the chief UN office for refugees (30)is asking for additional fifty-six million dollars for food and housing for people fleeing ethnic violence in Sudan's western Darfur region. A spokesman says Secretary General Kofi Annan is planning to visit the region soon.。

I bought a good suit and clothing store and I had my hair cut. I had studied almost everything about finance and economics.Q: Where is the man probably going to work?Passage 1There was once a man in South America who had a parrot, a pet bird that could imitate human speech. The parrot was unique. There was no bird like him in the whole world. He could learn to say any word except one. He could not say the name of his native town, Ketunnel. The man did everything he could to teach the parrot to say Ketunnel, but he never succeeded. At first he was very gentle with the bird. But gradually, he lost his temper. "You stupid bird. Why can't you learn to say that one word? Say Ketunnel or I will kill you." But the parrot would not say it. Many times the man screamed, "Say Ketunel, or I'll kill you." But the bird would never repeat the name. Finally, the man gave up. He picked up the parrot and threw him into the chicken house. "You are even more stupid than the chickens." In the chicken house, there were four old chickens, waiting to be killed for Sunday's dinner. The next morning, when he went out of the chicken house, the man opened the door. He was shocked by what he saw. He could not believe his eyes and ears. On the floor lay three dead chickens. The parrot was screaming at the fourth, "Say Ketunel, or I'll kill you."11.Why did the man lose his temper?12.Who killed the three chickens?13.Why was the shocked at the scene the next morning?Passage 2In Britain, if you are found guilty of a crime, you can be sent to prison or be fined or be ordered to do community work such as tidying public places and helping the old. You may also be sent to special centers when you learn special skills like cooking, writing and car maintenance. About 5 percent of the present population are women. Many prisons were built over one hundred years ago. But the government will have built 11 new prisons by next year. There are two sorts of prisons. The opensort and the closed sort. In the closed sort, prisoners are given very little freedom. They spend three to ten hours outside their cells when they exercise, eat, study, learn skills, watch TV and talk to other prisoners. All prisoners are expected to work. Most of them are paid for what they do, whether it is doing maintenance or cooking and cleaning. Prisoners in open prisons are locked up at night, but for the rest of the time, they are free within the prison grounds. They can exercise, have visitors, or study. And some are allowed out of the ground to study or to do community work.14.What do we know about women prisoners in Britain?15.In what way are open prisons different from closed prisons?16.What do we learn about prisoners in Britain?Passage 3London taxi drivers know the capital like the back of their hands. No matter how small or indistinct the street is, the driver will be able to get you there without any trouble. The reason London taxi drivers are so efficient is that they all have gone through a very tough training period to get special taxi driving license. During this period, which can take two to four years, the would-be taxi driver has to learn the most direct route to every single road and to every important building in London. To achieve this, most learners go around the city on small motorbikes practicing how to move to and from different points of the city. Learner taxi drivers are tested several times during the training period by government officers. The exams are terrible experience. The officers ask you "How do you get from Birmingham palace to the Tower of London?" and you have to take them there in the direct line. When you get to the tower, they won't say "well done". They will quickly move on to the next question. After five or six questions, they will just say "See you in two months' time." and then you know the exam is over. Learner drivers are not allowed to work and earn money as drivers. Therefore, many of them keep their previous jobs until they have obtained the license. The training can cost quite a lot, because learners have to pay for their own expenses on the tests and the medical exam.17.Why are London taxi drivers very efficient?18.How long does the training period last?19.Why does the speaker think the driving test is a terrible experience?20.Why do learner drivers have to keep their present jobs?。
2002年1月大学英语四级考试试题及参考答案（2）
Part II Reading Comprehension( 35 minutes)Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage. Some pessimistic experts feel that the automobile is bound to fall into disuse. They see a day in the not-too-distant future when all autos will be abandoned and allowed to rust. Other authorities, however, think the auto is here to stay. They hold that the car will remain a leading means of urban travel in the foreseeable future. The motorcar will undoubtedly change significantly over the next 30 years. It should become smaller, safer, and more economical, and should not be powered by the gasoline engine. The car of the future should be far more pollution-free than present types. Regardless of its power source, the auto in the future will still be the main problem in urbantraffic congestion (拥挤). One proposed solution to this problem is the automated highway system. When the auto enters the highway system, a retractable (可伸缩的) arm will drop from the auto and make contact with a rail, which is similar to those powering subway trains electrically.Once attached to the rail, the car will become electrically powered from the system, and control of the vehicle will pass to a central computer. The computer will then monitor all of the car's move-ments. The driver will use a telephone to dial instructions about his destination into the system. The computer will calculate the best route, and reserve space for the car all the way to the correct exit from the highway. The driver will then be free to relax and wait for the buzzer (蜂鸣器) that will warn him of his coming exit. It is estimated that an automated highway will be able to handle 10,000 vehicles per hour, compared with the 1,500 to 2,000 vehicles that can be carried by a present-day highway.21. One significant improvement in the future car will probably be________.A) its power source B) its driving systemC) its monitoring systemD) its seating capacity22. What is the author's main concern?A) How to render automobiles pollution-free.B) How to make smaller and safer automobiles.C) How to solve the problem of traffic jams.D) How to develop an automated subway system.23. What provides autos with electric power in an automated highway system?A) A rail. B) An engine. C) A retractable arm.D) A computer controller.24. In an automated highway system, all the driver needs to do is _______.A) keep in the right laneB) wait to arrive at his destinationC) keep in constant touch with the computer centerD) inform the system of his destination by phone25. What is the author's attitude toward the future of autos?A) Enthusiastic. B) Pessimistic. C) Optimistic.D) Cautious.Passage TwoQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage. Foxes and farmers have never got on well. These small dog-like animals have long been accused of killing farm animals. They are officially classified as harmful and farmers try to keep their numbers down by shooting or poisoning them. Farmers can also call on the services of their local hunt to control the fox population. Hunting consists of pursuing a fox across the countryside, with a group of specially trained dogs, followed by men and women riding horses. When the dogs eventually catch the fox they kill it or a hunter shoots it. People who take part in hunting think of it as a sport; they wear a special uniform of red coats and white trousers, and follow strict codes of behavior. But owning a horse and hunting regularly is expensive, so most hunters are wealthy. It is estimated that up to 100,000 people watch or take part in fox hunting. But over the lastcouple of decades the number of people opposed to fox hunting, because they think it is brutal (残酷的), has risen sharply. Nowadays it is rare for a hunt to pass off without some kind of confrontation (冲突) between hunters and hunt saboteurs (阻拦者).Sometimes these incidents lead to violence, but mostly saboteurs interfere with the hunt by misleading riders and disturbing the trail of the fox's smell, which the dogs follow. Noisy confrontations between hunters and saboteurs have become so common that they are almost as much a part of hunting as the pursuit of foxes itself. But this year supporters of fox hunting face a much bigger threat to their sport. A Labour Party Member of the Parliament, Mike Foster, is trying to get Parliament to approve a new law which will make the hunting of wild animals with dogs illegal. If the law is passed, wild animals like foxes will be protected under the ban in Britain.26. Rich people in Britain have been hunting foxesA) for recreation B) in the interests of the farmers C) to limit the fox populationD) to show off their wealth27. What is special about fox hunting in Britain?A) It involves the use of a deadly poison.B) It is a costly event which rarely occurs.C) The hunters have set rules to follow.D) The hunters have to go through strict training.28. Fox hunting opponents often interfere in the game________.A) by resorting to violence B) by confusing the fox huntersC) by taking legal action D) by demonstrating on the scene29. A new law may be passed by the British Parliament to________.A) prohibit farmers from hunting foxesB) forbid hunting foxes with dogsC) stop hunting wild animals in the countrysideD) prevent large-scale fox hunting30. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.A) killing foxes with poison is illegalB) limiting the fox population is unnecessaryC) hunting foxes with dogs is considered cruel and violentD) fox-hunting often leads to confrontation between the poor and the richPassage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage. For an increasing number of students at American universities, Old is suddenly in. The reason is obvious: the graying of America means jobs. Coupled with the aging of the baby-boom ( ⽣育⾼峰) generation, a longer life span means that the nation's elderly population is bound to expand significantly over the next 50 years. By 2050, 25 percent of all Americans will be older than 65, up from 14 percent in 1995. The change poses profound questions for government and society, of course. But it also creates career opportunities in medicine and health professions, and in law and business as well. "In addition to the doctors, we're going to need more sociologists, biologists, urban planners and specialized lawyers," says Professor Edward Schneider of the University of Southern California's (USC) School of Gerontology (⽼年学). Lawyers can specialize in "elder law," which covers everything from trusts and estates to nursing-home abuse and age discrimination (歧视). Businessmen see huge opportunities in the elder market because the baby boomers, 74 million strong, are likely to be the wealthiest group of retirees in human history. "Any student who combines an expert knowledge in gerontology with, say, an MBA or law degree will have a license to print money," one professor says. Margarite Santos is a 21-year-old senior at USC. She began college as a biology major but found she was "really bored with bacteria."So she took a class in gerontology and discovered that she liked it. She says, "I did volunteer work in retirement homes and it was very satisfying."31. "… Old is suddenly in" (Line 1, Para. 1) most probably means"______".A) America has suddenly become a nation of old peopleB) gerontology has suddenly become popularC) more elderly professors are found on American campusesD) American colleges have realized the need of enrolling older students32. With the aging of America, lawyers can benefit ______.A) from the adoption of the "elder law"B) from rendering special services to the elderlyC) by enriching their professional knowledgeD) by winning the trust of the elderly to promote their own interests33. Why can businessmen make money in the emerging elder market?A) Retirees are more generous in spending money.B) They can employ more gerontologists.C) The elderly possess an enormous purchasing power.D) There are more elderly people working than before.34. Who can make big money in the new century according to the passage?A) Retirees who are business-minded.B) The volunteer workers in retirement homes.C) College graduates with an MBA or law degree.D) Professionals with a good knowledge of gerontology.35. It can be seen from the passage that the expansion of America's elderly population ________.A) will provide good job opportunities in many areasB) will impose an unbearable burden on societyC) may lead to nursing home abuse and age discriminationD) will create new fields of study in universitiesPassage FourQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage. The decline in moral standards-which has long concerned social analysts-has at last captured the attention of average Americans. And Jean Bethke Elshtain, for one, is glad. The fact that ordinary citizens are now starting to think seriously about the nation's moral climate, says this ethics (伦理学) professor at the University of Chicago, is reason to hope that new ideas will come forward to improve it.

2002年1月12日四级测试听力原文
Section A
1.M: Jessica, could you this emails to all the club members?
W: Sorry, the computer broke down this morning. I will for you as soon as I have fixed.
Q: What was the woman probably trying to do?
4.M: Juana, I am awfully sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you. Shall we have a beer and forget the whole thing?
Q: What are the speakers doing?
6.M: Are you going to return to your present job after the vacation?
W: No, I plan to graduate next semester. That means I'll have to be a full-time student.
Q: What does the woman imply?
2.W: Did you find the book for your reading assignment in the library?
M: It closed before I got there. I had no idea that it closes so early on weekends.
Q: What do we know from the woman's reply?
9.W: Mrs. Long's briefing seems to go on forever. I was barely able to stay awake.
M: How could you sleep through that? It was very important for the mission we were goi OK, we can drop it this time. But don't do it again.
Q: What do we learn from the conversation?
5.W: Airports are sad places.
M: Sometimes, I guess. But we'll keep in touch. And I will fly over to see you with Christmas.
Q: Where is the man probably going to work?
Passage 1
There was once a man in South America who had a parrot, a pet bird that could imitate human speech. The parrot was unique. There was no bird like him in the whole world. He could learn to say any word except one. He could not say the name of his native town, Ketunnel. The man did everything he could to teach the parrot to say Ketunnel, but he never succeeded. At first he was very gentle with the bird. But gradually, he lost his temper. "You stupid bird. Why can't you learn to say that one word? Say Ketunnel or I will kill you." But the parrot would not say it. Many times the man screamed, "Say Ketunel, or I'll kill you." But the bird would never repeat the name. Finally, the man gave up. He picked up the parrot and threw him into the chicken house. "You are even more stupid than the chickens." In the chicken house, there were four old chickens, waiting to be killed for Sunday's dinner. The next morning, when he went out of the chicken house, the man opened the door. He was shocked by what he saw. He could not believe his eyes and ears. On the floor lay three dead chickens. The parrot was screaming at the fourth, "Say Ketunel, or I'll kill you."
Q: What does the man mean?
8.M: I heard there are a few seats left for the show tonight.
W: Really? I was under the impression that the tickets were sold out a long time ago.
Q: What does the man mean?
3.M: Did you check the power plug and press the play button?
W: Yes, the power indicator was on, and it was running, but somehow the sound didn't come through.
11.Why did the man lose his temper?
12.Who killed the three chickens?
13.Why was the shocked at the scene the next morning?
Passage 2
In Britain, if you are found guilty of a crime, you can be sent to prison or be fined or be ordered to do community work such as tidying public places and helping the old. You may also be sent to special centers when you learn special skills like cooking, writing and car maintenance. About 5 percent of the present population are women. Many prisons were built over one hundred years ago. But the government will have built 11 new prisons by next year. There are two sorts of prisons. The open sort and the closed sort. In the closed sort, prisoners are given very little freedom. They spend three to ten hours outside their cells when they exercise, eat, study, learn skills, watch TV and talk to other prisoners. All prisoners are expected to work. Most of them are paid for what they do, whether it is doing maintenance or cooking and cleaning. Prisoners in open prisons are locked up at night, but for the rest of the time, they are free within the prison grounds. They can exercise, have visitors, or study. And some are allowed out of the ground to study or to do community work.
Passage 3
London taxi drivers know the capital like the back of their hands. No matter how small or indistinct the street is, the driver will be able to get you there without any trouble. The reason London taxi drivers are so efficient is that they all have gone through a very tough training period to get special taxi driving license. During this period, which can take two to four years, the would-be taxi driver has to learn the most direct route to every single road and to every important building in London. To achieve this, most learners go around the city on small motorbikes practicing how to move to and from different points of the city. Learner taxi drivers are tested several times during the training period by government officers. The exams are terrible experience. The officers ask you "How do you get from Birmingham palace to the Tower of London?" and you have to take them there in the direct line. When you get to the tower, they won't say "well done". They will quickly move on to the next question. After five or six questions, they will just say "See you in two months' time." and then you know the exam is over. Learner drivers are not allowed to work and earn money as drivers. Therefore, many of them keep their previous jobs until they have obtained the license. The training can cost quite a lot, because learners have to pay for their own expenses on the tests and the medical exam.
