Choose the best one and mark your answer on ANSWER SHEET 1 by blackening the corresponding letter in the brackets. (10 points)Vitamins are organic compounds necessary in small amounts in the diet for the normal growthand maintenance of life of animals, including man.They do not provide energy, 1 do they construct or build any part of the body. They areneeded for 2 foods into energy and body maintenance. There are thirteen or more of them,and if 3 is missing a deficiency disease becomes 4 .Vitamins are similar because they are made of the same elements — usually carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and 5 nitrogen. They are different 6 their elements are arranged differently,and each vitamin 7 one or more specific functions in the body.8 enough vitamins is essential to life, although the body has no nutritional use for 9vitamins. Many people, 10 , believe in being on the “ safe side ” and thus take extra vitamins. However, a well balanced diet will usually meet all the body ’ s vitamin needs.1. ［ A］ either ［ B］ so ［C］nor ［D］ never2. ［ A］ shifting ［B］transferring ［ C］ altering ［D］ transforming3. ［ A］ any ［B］some ［C］anything ［D］something4. ［ A］ serious ［ B］ apparent ［C］ severe ［D］fatal5. ［ A］ mostly ［B］partially ［C］sometimes ［D］rarely6. ［ A］ in that ［ B］ so that ［C］such that ［ D］except that7. ［ A］ undertakes ［B］holds ［ C］ plays ［ D］ performs8. ［ A］ Supplying ［B］Getting ［ C］ Providing ［D］ Furnishing9. ［ A］ exceptional ［B］exceeding ［C］ excess ［D］external10. ［A］ nevertheless［B］therefore［C］moreover［D］meanwhilePartⅡ Reading ComprehensionDirections:Each of the passages below is followed by some questions. For each questions there are four answers marked ［ A］,［B］,［C］and［D］. Read the passages carefully and choose the best answerto each of the questions. Then mark your answer on ANSWERSHEET1 by blackening the corresponding letter in the brackets with a pencil. (40 points)Passage 1Tight lipped elders used to say,“ It’ s not what you want in this world, but what you get. ”Psychology teaches that you do get what you want if you know what you want and want the right things.You can make a mental blueprint of a desire as you would make a blueprint of a house, andeach of us is continually making these blueprints in the general routine of everyday living. Ifwe intend to have friends to dinner, we plan the menu, make a shopping list, decide which foodto cook first, and such planning is an essential for any type of meal to be served.Likewise, if you want to find a job, take a sheet of paper, and write a brief account of yourself. In making a blueprint for a job, begin with yourself, for when you know exactly what you haveto offer, you can intelligently plan where to sell your services.实用标准文案This account of yourself is actually a sketch of your working life and should include education, experience and references. Such an account is valuable. It can be referred to in filling outstandard application blanks and is extremely helpful in personal interviews. While talking toyou, your could be employer is deciding whether your education, your experience, and otherqualifications will pay him to employ you and your “wares ” and abilities must be displayed inan orderly and reasonably connected manner.When you have carefully prepared a blueprint of your abilities and desires, you have something tangible to sell. Then you are ready to hunt for a job. Get all the possible information aboutyour could be job. Make inquiries as to the details regarding the job and the firm. Keep youreyes and ears open, and use your own judgment. Spend a certain amount of time each day seekingthe employment you wish for, and keep in mind: Securing a job is your job now.11. What do the elders mean when they say, “ It ’ s not what you want in this world, but whatyou get. ”?［A］ You ’ ll certainly get what you want.［B］ It ’s no use dreaming.［C］ You should be dissatisfied with what you have.［D］ It ’s essential to set a goal for yourself.12. A blueprint made before inviting a friend to dinner is used in this passageas.［A］ an illustration of how to write an application for a job［B］ an indication of how to secure a good job［C］ a guideline for job description［D］ a principle for job evaluation13. According to the passage, one must write an account of himself before starting to finda job because.［A］ that is the first step to please the employer［B］ that is the requirement of the employer［C］ it enables him to know when to sell his services［D］ it forces him to become clearly aware of himself14. When you have carefully prepared a blueprint of your abilities and desires, you havesomething.［A］ definite to offer［B］imaginary to provide［C］ practical to supply［D］desirable to presentPassage 2With the start of BBC World Service Television, millions of viewers in Asia and America cannow watch the Corporation’ s news coverage, as well as listen to it.And of course in Britain listeners and viewers can tune in to two BBC television channels,five BBCnational radio services and dozens of local radio stations.They are brought sport,comedy, drama, music, news and current affairs, education, religion, parliamentary coverage, children’s programmes and films for an annual licence fee of￡83 per household.It is a remarkable record, stretching back over 70 years—yet the BBC’ s future is now in doubt. The Corporation will survive as a publicly funded broadcasting organization, at leastfor the time being, but its role, its size and its programmes are now the subject of a nationwide debate in Britain.实用标准文案The debate was launched by the Government, which invited anyone with an opinion of the BBC— including ordinary listeners and viewers—to say what was good or bad about the Corporation,and even whether they thought it was worth keeping. The reason for its inquiry is that the BBC’s royal charter runs out in 1996 and it must decide whether to keep the organization as it is,or to make changes.Defenders of the Corporation—of whom there are many—are fond of quoting the Americanslogan“If it ain’ t broke, don’t fix it.” The BBC“ ain’ t broke” , they say, by which theymean it is not broken (as distinct from the word‘ broke’, meaning having no money), so why bother to change it?Yet the BBC will have to change, because the broadcasting world around it is changing. Thecommercial TV channels——ITV and Channel 4——were required by the Thatcher Government’s Broadcasting Act to become more commercial, competing with each other for advertisers, andcutting costs and jobs. But it is the arrival of new satellite channels—funded partly by advertising and partly by viewers’subscriptions—which will bring about the biggest changesin the long term.15. The world famous BBC now faces.［A］ the problem of news coverage［B］an uncertain prospect［C］ inquiries by the general public［D］shrinkage of audience16. In the passage, which of the following about the BBC is not mentioned as the key issue?［A］ Extension of its TV service to Far East.［B］ Programmes as the subject of a nation-wide debate.［C］ Potentials for further international co-operations.［D］ Its existence as a broadcasting organization.17. The BBC ’s “royal charter” (Line 4, Paragraph 4) stands for.［A］ the financial support from the royal family.［B］ the privileges granted by the Queen.［C］ a contract with the Queen.［D］ a unique relationship with the royal family.18. The foremost reason why the BBC has to readjust itself is no other than.［A］ the emergence of commercial TV channels.［B］ the enforcement of Broadcasting Act by the government.［C］ the urgent necessity to reduce costs and jobs.［D］ the challenge of new satellite channels.Passage 3In the last half of the nineteenth century“capital” and“ labour” were enlarging and perfecting their rival organizations on modern lines. Many an old firm was replaced by a limited liability company with a bureaucracy of salaried managers. The change met the technical requirements of the new age by engaging a large professional element and prevented the declinein efficiency that so commonly spoiled the fortunes of family firms in the second and thirdgeneration after the energetic founders. It was moreover a step away from individual initiative, towards collectivism and municipal and state-owned business. The railway companies, though still private business managed for the benefit of shareholders, were very unlike old family business.At the same time the great municipalities went into business to supply lighting, trams and other services to the taxpayers.实用标准文案The growth of the limited liability company and municipal business had important consequences. Such large, impersonal manipulation of capital and industry greatly increased the numbers andimportance of shareholders as a class, an element in national life representing irresponsiblewealth detached from the land and the duties of the landowners; and almost equally detached from the responsible management of business. All through the nineteenth century, America, Africa, India, Australia and parts of Europe were being developed by British capital, and British shareholderswere thus enriched by the world ’s movement towards industrialization. Towns like Bournemouthand Eastbourne sprang up to house large “comfortable ” classes who had retired on their incomes, and who had no relation to the rest of the community except that of drawing dividends andoccasionally attending a shareholders ’ meeting to dictate their orders to the management. Onthe other hand “ shareholding ” meant leisure and freedom which was used by many of the laterVictorians for the highest purpose of a great civilization.The “shareholders ” as such had no knowledge of the lives, thoughts or needs of the workmen employed by the company in which he held shares, and his influence on the relations of capitaland labor was not good. The paid manager acting for the company was in more direct relation withthe men and their demands, but even he had seldom that familiar personal knowledge of the workmen which the employer had often had under the more patriarchal system of the old family businessnow passing away. Indeed the mere size of operations and the numbers of workmen involved rendered such personal relations impossible. Fortunately, however, the increasing power and organization of the trade unions, at least in all skilled trades, enabled the workmen to meet on equal termsthe managers of the companies who employed them. The cruel discipline of the strike and lockouttaught the two parties to respect each other ’ s strength and understand the value of fair negotiation.19. It ’ s true of the old family firms that .［A］ they were spoiled by the younger generations［B］ they failed for lack of individual initiative［C］ they lacked efficiency compared with modern companies［D］ they could supply adequate services to the taxpayers20. The growth of limited liability companies resulted in.［A］ the separation of capital from management［B］ the ownership of capital by managers［C］ the emergence of capital and labour as two classes［D］ the participation of shareholders in municipal business21. According to the passage, all of the following are true except that.［A］ the shareholders were unaware of the needs of the workers［B］ the old firm owners had a better understanding of their workers［C］ the limited liability companies were too large to run smoothly［D］ the trade unions seemed to play a positive role22. The author is most critical of.［A］ family firm owners［B］landowners［C］ managers［D］shareholdersPassage 4What accounts for the great outburst of major inventions in early America—breakthroughs such as the telegraph, the steamboat and the weaving machine?Amongthe many shaping factors, I would single out the country ’s excellent elementary schools;a labor force that welcomed the new technology; the practice of giving premiums to inventors;and above all the American genius for nonverbal,“ spatial” thinking about things technological.Why mention the elementary schools? Because thanks to these schools our early mechanics,especially in the New England and Middle Atlantic states, were generally literate and at homein arithmetic and in some aspects of geometry and trigonometry.Acute foreign observers related American adaptiveness and inventiveness to this educational advantage. As a member of a British commission visiting here in 1853 reported,“With a mind prepared by thorough school discipline, the American boy develops rapidly into the skilledworkman. ”A further stimulus to invention came from the“ premium” system, which preceded our patent system and for years ran parallel with it. This approach, originated abroad, offered inventorsmedals, cash prizes and other incentives.In the United States, multitudes of premiums for new devices were awarded at country fairsand at the industrial fairs in major cities. Americans flocked to these fairs to admire the newmachines and thus to renew their faith in the beneficence of technological advance.Given this optimistic approach to technological innovation,the American worker took readilyto that special kind of nonverbal thinking required in mechanical technology. As Eugene Ferguson has pointed out,“ A technologist thinks about objects that cannot be reduced to unambiguous verbal descriptions;they are dealt with in his mind by a visual, nonverbal process⋯The designer and the inventor⋯are able to assemble and manipulate in their minds devices that as yet do notexist.”This nonverbal“ spatial” thinking can be just as creative as painting and writing.Robert Fulton once wrote,“The mechanic should sit down among levers, screws, wedges, wheels, etc, like a poet among the letters of the alphabet, considering them as an exhibition of his thoughts, inwhich a new arrangement transmits a new idea.”When all these shaping forces—schools, open attitudes, the premium system, a genius forspatial thinking—interacted with one another on the rich U.S. mainland, they produced thatAmerican characteristic emulation. Today that word implies mere imitation. But in earlier timesit meant a friendly but competitive striving for fame and excellence.23. According to the author, the great outburst of major inventions in early America was ina large part due to.［A］ elementary schools［B］enthusiastic workers［C］ the attractive premium system［D］a special way of thinking24.It is implied that adaptiveness and inventiveness of the early American mechanics.［A］ benefited a lot from their mathematical knowledge.［B］ shed light on disciplined school management.［C］ was brought about by privileged home training.［D］ owed a lot to the technological development.25. A technologist can be compared to an artist because.［A］ they are both winners of awards.［B］ they are both experts in spatial thinking.［C］ they both abandon verbal description［D］ they both use various instruments26. The best title for this passage might be.［A］ Inventive Mind［B］Effective Schooling［C］ Ways of Thinking［D］Outpouring of InventionsPassage 5Rumor has it that more than 20 books on creationism/evolution are in the publisher’s pipelines.A few have already appeared. The goal of all will be to try to explain to a confused and oftenunenlightened citizenry that there are not two equally valid scientific theories for the originand evolution of universe and life. Cosmology, geology, and biology have provided a consistent,unified, and constantly improving account of what happened.“ Scientific” creationism, whichis being pushed by some for“equal time” in the classrooms whenever the scientific accountsof evolution are given, is based on religion, not science. Virtually all scientists and themajority of nonfundamentalist religious leaders have come to regard“ scientific” creationism as bad science and bad religion.The first four chapters of Kitcher’ s book give a very brief introduction to evolution. Atappropriate places, he introduces the criticisms of the creationists and provides answers. Inthe last three chapters, he takes off his gloves and gives the creationists a good beating. Hedescribes their programmes and tactics,and, for those unfamiliar with the ways of creationists,the extent of their deception and distortion may come as an unpleasant surprise.When their basic motivation is religious, one might have expected more Christian behavior.Kitcher is a philosopher, and this may account, in part, for the clarity and effectivenessof his arguments. The non-specialist will be able to obtain at least a notion of the sorts ofdata and argument that support evolutionary theory. The final chapters on the creationists willbe extremely clear to all. On the dust jacket of this fine book, Stephen Jay Gould says:“ This book stands for reason itself.” And so it does - and all would be well were reason the only judge in the creationism/evolution debate.27.“Creationism” in the passage refers to.［A］ evolution in its true sense as to the origin of the universe［B］ a notion of the creation of religion［C］ the scientific explanation of the earth formation［D］ the deceptive theory about the origin of the universe28. Kitcher’s book is intended to.［A］ recommend the views of the evolutionists［B］ expose the true features of creationists［C］ curse bitterly at his opponents［D］ launch a surprise attack on creationists29. From the passage we can infer that.［A］ reasoning has played a decisive role in the debate［B］ creationists do not base their argument on reasoning［C］ evolutionary theory is too difficult for non-specialists［D］ creationism is supported by scientific findings30. This passage appears to be a digest of.［A］ a book review［B］ a scientific paper［C］ a magazine feature［D］ a newspaper editorial实用标准文案Part ⅢEnglish —Chinese TranslationDirections:Read the following text carefully and then translate the underlined segments into Chinese.Your translation should be written clearly on ANSWER SHEET 2. (15 points)The differences in relative growth of various areas of scientific research have several causes.31） Some of these causes are completely reasonable results of social needs. Others are reasonable consequences of particular advances in science being to some extent self-accelerating. Some,however, are less reasonable processes of different growth in which preconceptions of the formscientific theory ought to take, by persons in authority, act to alter the growth pattern ofdifferent areas. This is a new problem probably not yet unavoidable; but it is a frightening trend.32） This trend began during the Second World War, when several governments came to the conclusionthat the specific demands that a government wants to make of its scientific establishment cannotgenerally be foreseen in detail. It can be predicted, however, that from time to time questionswill arise which will require specific scientific answers. It is therefore generally valuableto treat the scientific establishment as a resource or machine to be kept in functional order.33） This seems mostly effectively done by supporting a certain amount of research not relatedto immediate goals but of possible consequence in the future.This kind of support, like all government support, requires decisions about the appropriaterecipients of funds. Decisions based on utility as opposed to lack of utility are straightforward.But a decision among projects none of which has immediate utility is more difficult. The goalof the supporting agencies is the praisable one of supporting “ good”as opposed to “ bad”science,but a valid determination is difficult to make. Generally, the idea of good science tends to becomeconfused with the capacity of the field in question to generate an elegant theory. 34 ） However,the world is so made that elegant systems are in principle unable to deal with some of the world ’s more fascinating and delightful aspects. 35 ） New forms of thought as well as new subjects forthought must arise in the future as they have in the past, giving rise to new standards of elegance.Section Ⅳ Writing36.

Each passage is following by some questions or unfinished statements-For each of them there are fourchoices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice andmark the and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with asingle line through the centre.Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage:Three English dictionaries published recently all lay claim to possessing a “new” feature. The BBC English Dictionary contains background information on 1,000 people and places prominent in the news since 1988; the Oxford Advanced Learner’s Dictionary: Encyclopedic Edition is the OALD plus encyclopedic entries; the Longman Dictionary of English Language and Culture is the LME plus cultural information.The key fact is that all three di ctionaries can be seen to have a distinctly “cultural” as well as language learning content. That being said, the way in which they approach the cultural element is not identical, making direct comparisons between the three difficult.While there is some common ground between the encyclopedic/cultural entries for the Oxford and Longman dictionaries, there is a clear difference. Oxford lays claim to being encyclopedic on content whereas Longman distinctly concentrates on the language and culture of the English-speaking world. The Oxford dictionary can therefore stand more vigorous scrutiny for cultural bias than the Longman publication because the latter does not hesitate about viewing the rest of the world from the cultural perspectives of the English-speaking world. The cultural objectives of the BBC dictionary are in turn moredistinct still. Based on an analysis of over 70 million words recorded from the BBC World Service and National Public Radio of Washington over a period of four years, their 1,000 brief encyclopedic entries are based on people and places that have featured in the news recently. The intended user they have in mind is a regular listener to the World Service who will have a reasonable standard of English and a developed skill in listening comprehension.In reality, though, the BBC dictionary will be purchased by a far wider range of language learners, as will the other two dictionaries. We will be faced with a situation where many of the users of these dictionaries will at the very least have distinct socio-cultural perspectives and may have world views which are totally opposed and even hostile to those of the West. Advanced learners from this kind of background will not only evaluate a dictionary on how user-friendly it is but will also have definite views about the scope and appropriateness of the various socio-cultural entries.21. What feature sets apart the three dictionaries discussed in the passage fromtraditional ones?A) The combination of two dictionaries into oneB) The new approach to defining wordsC) The inclusion of cultural contentD) The increase in the number of entries22. The Longman dictionary is more likely to be criticized for cultural prejudice________.A) its scope of cultural entries the beyond the culture of the English-speaking worldB) it pays little attention to the cultural content of the non-English-speakingcountriesC) it views the world purely from the standpoint of the English-speaking worldD) it fails to distinguish language from culture in its encyclopedic entries23. The BBC dictionary differs from Oxford and Longman in that ________.A) it has a wider selection Of encyclopedic entriesB) it is mainly design to meet the needs of radio listenersC) it lays more emphasis co language then on cultureD) it is intended to help listeners develop their listening comprehension skills24. It is implied in the last paragraph that, in approaching socio-cultural content in adictionary, special thought be given to ________.A) the language levels of its usersB) the number of its prospective purchasersC) the different tastes of its usersD) the various cultural backgrounds of its users25. What is the passage mainly about?A) Different ways of treating socio-cultural elements in the three new Englishdictionaries.B) A comparison of people’s opinions on the cultural content in the three newEnglish dictionaries.C) The advantages of the BBC dictionary over Oxford and Longman.D) The user-friendliness of the three new English dictionaries.Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.Real policemen hardly recognize any resemblance between their lives and what they see on TV.The first difference is that a policeman’s real life revolves round criminal law. He has to know exactly what actions are crimes and what evidence can be used to prove them in court. He has to know nearly as much law as a professional lawyer, and what is more, he has to apply it on his feet, in the dark and rain, running down a street after someone he wants to talk to.Little of his time is spent in chatting. He will spend most of his working life typing millions of words on thousands of forms about hundreds of sad, unimportant people who are guilty of stupid, petty crimes.Most television crime drama is about finding the criminal: as soon as he’s arrested, the story is over. In real life, finding criminals is seldom much of a problem. Except in very serious cases like murders and terrorist attacks little effort is spent on searching.Having made an arrest, a detective really start to work. He has to prove his case in court and to do that he often has to gather a lot of different evidence.At third big difference between the drama detective and the real one is the unpleasant pressures: first, as members of a police force they always have to behave absolutely in accordance with the law. Secondly, as expensive public servants they have to get results. They can hardly ever do both. Most of the time some of them have to break the rules in small ways.If the detective has to detective the world, the world often deceives him. Hardly anyone he meets tells him the truth. And this separation the detective feels between himself and the rest of the world is deepened by the simples mindedness as he sees it-of citizens, social workers, doctors, law-makers, and judges, who, instead of eliminating crime punish the criminals less severely in the hope that this will make them reform. The result, detectives feel, is that nine-tenths of their work is re-catching people who should have stared behind bars. This makes them rather cynical.26. A policeman has to be trained in criminal law because ________.A) he must work hard to help reform criminalsB) he must believe as professional lawyers doC) he must be able to tell when and where a crime is committedD) he must justify the arrests he makes of criminals27. What is the most suitable word that describes the work of a policeman according tothe passage?A) DangerousB) DemandingC) DistressingD) Dramatic28. According to the passage, policemen spend most of their time an efforts ________.A) patrolling the street, rain or shineB) tracking and arresting criminalsC) collecting and providing evidenceD) consulting the rules of law29. What’s the policeman’s biggest headache?A) He has to get the most desirable results without breaking the law in any way.B) He has to justify his arrests while unable to provide sufficient evidence in mostcases.C) He can hardly find enough time to learn criminal law while burdened withnumerous criminal cases.D) He has to provide the best possible public service at the least possible expense.30. Why do policemen feel separated from the rest of the world?A) Because they do not receive due support from society.B) Because they find people insincere with them.C) Because they feel superior to simple-minded people around them.D) Because they are suspicious of the people around them.Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.To live in the United States today is to gain an appreciation for Dahrendorf’s assertion that social change exists everywhere. Technology, the application of knowledge for practical ends, is a major source of social change.Yet we would do well to remind ourselves that technology is a human creation; it docs not exist naturally. A spear or a robot is as much a cultural as a physical object. Until humans use a spear to hunt game or a robot to produce machine parts, neither is much more than a solid mass of matter. For a bird looking for an object on which to rest, a spear or robot serves the purpose equally well. The explosion of the Challenger space shuttle and the Russian nuclear accident at Chernobyl drive home the human quality oftechnology; they provide cases in which well-planned systems suddenly went haywire and there was no ready hand to set them right. Since technology is a human creation, we are responsible for what is done with it. Pessimists worry that we will use out technology eventually to blow our world and ourselves to pieces. But they have been saying this for decades, and so far we have managed to survive and even flourish. Whether we will continue to do so in the years ahead remains uncertain. Clearly, the impact of technology on our lives deserves a closer examination.Few technological developments have had a greater impact on our lives than the computer revolution. Scientists and engineers have designed specialized machines that can do the tasks that once only people could do. There are those who assert that the switch to an information-based economy is in the same camp as other great historical milestones, particularly the industrial Revolution. Yet when we ask why the industrial Revolution was a revolution, we find that it was not the machines. The primary reason why it was revolutionary is that it led to great social change. It gave rise to mass production and, through mass production, to a society in which wealth was not confined to the few.In somewhat similar fashion, computers promise to revolutionize the structure of American life, particularly as they free the human mind and open new possibilities in knowledge and communication. The industrial Revolution supplemented and replaced the muscles of humans and animals by mechanical methods. The computer extends this development to supplement and replace some aspects of the mind of human beings by electronic methods. It is the capacity of the computer for solving problems and making decisions that represents its greatest potential and that pees the greatest difficulties in predicting the impact on society.31. A spear or a robot has the quality of technology only when it ________.A) is used both as a cultural and a physical objectB) serves different purposes equally wellC) is utilized by manD) can be of use to both man and animal32. The examples of the Challenger and Chernobyl cited by the author serve to showthat ________.A) if not given close examination, technology could be used to destroy our worldB) technology is a human creation, so we are responsible for itC) technology usually goes wrong, if not controlled by manD) being a human creation, technology is liable to error33. According to the author, the introduction of the computer is a revolution mainlybecause ________.A) the computer has revolutionized the workings of the human mindB) the computer can do the tasks that could only be done by people beforeC) it has helped to switch to an information technologyD) it has a great potential impact on society34. By using the phrase “the human quality of technology”, the author refers to, the factthat technology ________.A) has a great impact on human lifeB) has some characteristics of human natureC) can replace some aspects of the human mindD) does not exist in the natural world35. The passage is based on the author’s ________.A) keen insight into the nature of technologyB) prejudiced criticism of the role of the industrial RevolutionC) cautious analysis of the replacement of the human mind by computersD) exaggerated description of the negative consequences of technology Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.Now custom has not been commonly regarded as a subject of any great importance. The inner workings of our own brains we feel to be uniquely worthy of investigation, but custom, we have a way of thinking, is behavior at its most commonplace. As a matter of fact, it is the other way around. Traditional custom, taken the world over, is a mass of detailed behavior more astonishing than what any one person can ever evolve in individual actions. Yet that is a rather trivial aspect of the matter. The fact of first-rate importance is the predominant role that custom plays in experience and in belief and the very great varieties it may manifest.No man ever looks at the world with pristine eyes. He sees it edited by a definite set of customs and institutions and ways of thinking. Even in his philosophical probing he cannot go behind these stereotypes; his very concepts of the true and the false will still have reference to his particular traditional customs. John Dewey has said in all seriousness that the part played by custom in shaping the behavior of the individual as over against any way in which he can affect traditional custom, is as the proportion of the total vocabulary of his mother tongue over against those words of his own baby talk that are taken up into the language of his family. When one seriously studies axial orders that have had the opportunity to develop independently, the becomes no more than an exact and matter-of-fact observation. The life history of the individual is first and foremost an adjustment to the patterns and standards traditionally handed down in his community. From the moment of his birth the customs into which he is born shape his experience and behavior. By the time he can talk, he is the little creature of his culture, and by the time he is grown and able to take part in its activities, its habits are his habits, its beliefs his beliefs, its impossibilities his impossibilities.36. The author thinks the reason why custom has been ignored in the academic world isthat ________.A) custom reveals only the superficial nature of human behaviorB) the study of social orders can replace the study of customC) people are still not aware of the important role that custom plays in forming ourworld outlookD) custom has little to do with our ways of thinking37. Which of the following is true according to John Dewey?A) An individual can exercise very little influence on the cultural tradition intowhich he is born.B) Custom is the direct result of the philosophical probing of a group of people.C) An individual is strongly influenced by the cultural tradition even before he isborn.D) Custom represents the collective wisdom which benefits the individual.38. The world “custom” in this passage most probably means ________.A) the concept of the true and the false of a societyB) the independently developed social ordersC) the adjustment of the individual to the new social environmentD) the patterns and standards of behavior of a community39. According to the passage a person’s life, from his birth to his death, ________.A) is constantly shaping the cultural traditions of his peopleB) is predominated by traditional customC) is continually influenced by the habits of other communitiesD) is chiefly influenced by the people around him40. The author’s pump in writing this passage is ________.A) to urge individuals to follow traditional customsB) to stress the strong influence of customs on an individualC) to examine the interaction of man and axial customsD) to show man’s adjustment to traditional customsPart III Vocabulary and Structure (20 minutes)Directions: There are 30 incomplete sentences in this pert.

The large university provides a wide range of specialized departments, as well numerous (71) courses within such departments. The small college, therefore, (72) generally provides a limited number of courses and specializations but offer a better student-faculty ratio, thus (73) permit individualized attention to students. Because of its large (74) student body (often exceeding 20,000) consisting in many (75) people from different countries the university exposes its students to many different culture, social and out-of-class (76) programmes. On the other hand, the smaller, more homogenous student body of the big college (77) affords greater opportunities in such activities. Finally, the university closely approximates the real world and which (78) provides a relaxed, impersonal, and sometimes anonymous existence, on the contrast, the intimate (79) atmosphere of the small college allows the student four years of structural living in which to expect and preparing for the real (80) world. In making his choice among educational institutions the student must, therefore, consider a great many factors.Part V Writing (30 minutes)Directions: For this part, you are allowed thirty minutes to write a composition on the topic Health Gains in Developing Countries.You must base pourcomposition on the following instructions (given in Chinese):1. 以附图2为依据描述发展中国家的期望寿命(life expectancy)和婴儿死亡率(infant mortality) 的变化情况.2. 说明引起变化的各种原因.。

He wanted to get a license to drive a car.Behind the desk in the police station sat a police officer.This police officer was not a very policeman.“I would like to get a license to drive a car.” said Mr. Smith a little timidly.“You have to fill out this card first.” said the police officer. He threw a small white card in Mr. Smith’s direction. “Put your name at the top.”“In ink?” asked Mr. Smith very politely.“Of course, in ink.” said the police officer. “Put your last name first and you first name last.”“How‘s that?” said Mr. Smith. He did not understand the police officer.“Write your name backwards. Your last name fist and your first name last. BACKWARDS!”“Backwards?”“That’s right. That’s just what I said!”Slowly, carefully Mr. Smith began to write. It seemed a little strange to him. But the police officer must know what was correct.

In many 31 this is understandable in Britain. Yet, 32, the study of gramma r is one of the fastest growing areas of research in universities all over the world.33 more so is the fact that many students who do not like grammar in school choose 34 as their subject of study in the university.The rather strange state of affairs 35 an explanation. On the whole, students consider the study of grammar uninteresting, and grammar is 36 taught in most British middle sc hools. However, language, which would be impossible without grammar, is an important p art of human society. 37, it is the foundation(基础) on which our society builds itself. An d it is our ability(能力) to use language that makes it possible for us to let 38 know our thoughts and aims, 39, to communicate(交流思想、交际).

S. homes. They will attend U. S. s chools, meet U. S. teen-agers, and form impressions of the real America. At the same tim e, about thirteen hundred American teen-agers will go to other countries to learn new lang uages and gain a new understanding of the rest of the world.Here is a two-way student exchange(交换) in action. Fred, nineteen, spent last year i n Germany with George’s family. In turn, George’s son Mike spent a year in Fred’s hom e in America.Fred, a lively young man, knew little German when he arrived, but after two month s’ study, the language bega n to come to him. School was completely different from what he had expected-much harder. Students rose respectfully when the teacher entered the roo m. They took fourteen subjects instead of the six that are usual in the United States. Ther e were almost no outside activities(活动).Family life, too, was different. The father’s word was law, and all activities were aro und the family rather than the individual(个人). Fred found the food too simple at first. A lso, he missed having a car.“Back home, you pick up some friends in a ca r and go out and have a good time. I n Germany, you walk, but you soon learn to like it.”At the same time, in America, Mike, a friendly German boy, was also forming his id ea. “I suppose I should criticize(批评) American schools,” he says. “It is far too easy by our level. But I have to say that I like it very much. In Germany we do nothing but stu dy. Here we take part in many outside activities. I think that maybe you schools are bette r in training for citizens(公民). There ought to be some middle ground betwee n the two.”66. This year _____ teen-agers will take part in the exchange programme between A merica and other countries.A. twenty three hundredB. thirteen hundredC. over three thousandD. less than two thousand67. The whole exchange programme is mainly to _____.A. help teen-agers in other countries know the real America.B. send students in America to travel in GermanyC. let students learn something about other countriesD. have teen-agers learn new languages68. Fred and Mike agreed that _____.A. American food tasted better than German foodB. German schools were harder than American schoolsC. mericans and Germans were both friendlyD. There were more cars on the streets in America69. What is particular in American schools is that _____.A. there is some middle ground between the two teaching buildingsB. there are a lot of after-school activitiesC. students usually take fourteen subjects in allD. students go outside to enjoy themselves in a car70.After experiencing the American school life, Mike thought _____.A. a better education should include something good from both America and German yB. German schools trained students to be better citizensC. American schools were not as good as German schoolsD. the easy life in the American school was more helpful to studentsB.When did you last see a polar bear(北极熊) ?On a trip to a zoo, perhaps? If you ha d attended a winter activity in New York a few years ago, you would have seen a whole polar bear club. These “Polar Bears” are people who meet frequently in the winter to sw im in freezing cold water. That day, the air temperature was 3℃, and the water temperat ure was a bit higher. The members of the Polar Bear Club at Coney Island, New York a re usually about the age of 60.Members must satisfy two requirements. First, they must g et along well with everyone else in the group, this is very important because there are so many different kinds of people in the club. Polar Bears must also agree to swim outdoor s at least twice a month from November through February.Doctors do not agree about the medical effects of cold-water swimming. Some are w orried about the dangers of a condition in which the body’s temperature drops so low that finally the heart stops. Other doctors, however, point out that there is more danger of a heart attack during summer swimming because the difference between the air temperature and water temperature is much greater in summer than in winter.The Polar Bears themselves are satisfied with the benefits (or advantages) of cold-wat er swimming. They say that their favorite form of exercise is very good for the circulator y system(循环系统) because it forces the blood to move fast to keep the body warm. Col d-water swimmers usually turn bright red after a few minutes in the water. A person who turns blue probably has a very poor circulatory system and should not try cold-water swi mming.The main benefits(or advantages) of cold-water swimming are probably mental. The P olar Bears love to swim year-round; they find it fun and relaxing. As one 70-year-old woman says.” When I go into the water, I pour my troubles into the ocean and let them f lo at away.”71. The members of the Polar Bear Club must meet the following requirements excep t that_____.A. they should be easy to make friends withB. they must swim outdoors at least 8 times in the four cold monthsC. they must agree to swim outdoors from November through FebruaryD. they must reach the age of 6072. Doctors _____.A. encourage people to take part in cold-water swimming activelyB. point out the possible danger of blood illness during cold-water swimmingC. believe swimming is helpful both in winter and in summerD. have different ideas about the medical effects of cold-water swimming73. According to the passage, some doctors believe it is true that _____.A. you are healthy if cold-water swimming turns your skin color blueB. cold-water swimming causes more heart attacks in summer than in winterC. cold-water swimming can make the body temperature dangerously highD. Polar Bears are bears swimming in freezing water74. The Polar Bears like to swim all the year round, for _____.A. they can remain youngB. it is an easy way to keep the body warm in winterC. they find it enjoyable and interestingD. they might meet fewer troubles in life75. The passage is mainly about _____.A. a group of cold-water swimming loversB. the Polar Bears’ life in New YorkC. doctors’ ideas about cold-water swimmingD. the requirements of the Polar Bear ClubCFarmer Ed Rawlings smiles as he looks at his orange trees. The young oranges are g rowing well in Florida’s weather. Warm sunshine and gentle rains, along with Ed Rawling s’ expert care, will produce a good crop of oranges this year.But Ed has to fight against Florida’s changeable winter weather. In January and Febr uary, temperatures can destroy Ed’s entire orange, crop. Having farmed in Florida for the past 35 years, Ed Rawlings is prepared for the frosts(霜). When temperatures drop below freezing，Ed tries to save his crop by watering his orange trees. The water freezes and forms a thin layer (层) of ice on the trees. Strange as it may sound, this thin layer of ice actually keeps the fruit warm.What happens is simple. When the trees are watered, the water loses heat and becom es ice. The warmth of the heat it loses is sucked in by the fruit and keeps its temperatur e at a safe level. Ed Rawlings has effectively used this method(方法) to save many orang e crops.But Ed still faces some difficulties. The trees should be watered at the exact moment the temperature drops to the freezing point. Also, just the right quantity of water must b e used. Too much water can form a thick layer of ice that will break the trees’ branches. Another difficulty is that wind blows away the heat. So Ed has to worry about not only when but also how often his trees should be watered, and how much water should be us ed.Computer technology may help Ed Rawlings with some of these worries. With equip ment, air and soil temperatures and wind speed can be measured. The information is fed i nto a computer which can tell when temperatures drop to freezing. The computer can corr ectly decide the quantity of water to be used and how frequently the trees should be wate red. Ed Rawlings will find looking after his orange trees a lot easier with the help of a c omputer, and we’ll all have the benefits(or advantages) of computer-age oranges.76. The passage is mainly about _____.A. a farmer’s expert care for his orange treesB. the different uses of computersC. growing oranges in Florida’s changeable weatherD. different ways of frost protection77. Ed tried to protect his crop by _____.A. using a wind machine to drive away the cold airB. equipping his orange trees with a computerC. watering it at the proper timeD. picking his fruit at the first sign of frost78. In the writer’s eyes, computers _____.A. are too expensive for small farmersB. can be a valuable tool for the farmerC. can be used to help oranges grow biggerD. cannot take the place of the farmer’s experience and judgement79. Which of the following is NOT NECESSARY for Ed Rawlings to do?A. He should water the orange trees as soon as the temperature drops to the freezing point.B. He should decide the quantity of water for the orange trees.C. He has to water the orange trees more often in January and February.D. He has to judge how often he should water the orange trees.80.According to the passage, the computer technology can _____.A. get rid of the need for frost protectionB. help the farmer get a better harvestC. tell the farmer why outdoor temperature changesD. prevent the temperature from dropping to the freezing pointD.Have you ever been in a meeting while someone was making a speech and realized suddenly that your mind was a million miles away? You probably felt sorry and made up your mind to pay attention and never have daydreaming again. Most of us, from earliest school days, have been told that daydreaming is a waste of time.”On the contrary, “says L. Giambra, an expert in psychology(心理学), “daydreaming i s quite necessary. Without it, the mind couldn’t get done all the thinking it has to do dur ing a normal day... You can’t possibly do all your thinking with a conscious(有意识的) mind. Instead, your unconscious mind is working out problems all the time. Daydreaming then may be one way that the unconscious and conscious states of mind have silent dialo gues.”Early experts in psychology paid no attention to the importance of daydreams or even considered them harmful. At one time daydreaming was thought to be a cause of some mental illnesses. They did not have a better understanding of daydreams until the late 198 0s. Eric Klinger, a professor of psychology, is the writer of the book Daydreaming. Kling er says, “We know now that daydreaming is one of the main ways that we organize our lives, learn from our experiences, and plan for our futures... Day dreams really are a win dow on the things we fear and the things we long for in life.”Daydreams are usually very simple and direct, quite unlike sleep dreams, which may be hard to understand. It’s easier to gain a deep understanding of your life by paying clo se attention to your daydreams than by trying to examine your sleep dreams carefully. Da ydreams help you recognize the difficult situations in your life and find out a possible wa y of handling(处理) them.Daydreams cannot be predicted(预料); they move off in unexpected directions which may be creative and full of useful ideas. For many famous artists and scientists, daydream s were and are a main source of creative energy.So the next time you catch yourself daydreaming, don’t stop. Just pay attention to yo ur dream. It may be more important than you think.81. Daydreaming used to be considered _____.A. very simple and directB. unimportant or even harmfulC. a necessary part of thinkingD. the result of an unconscious mind82. In what way are daydreams different from sleep dreams?A. Daydreams are easier for us to understand.B. Daydreams are not so easy for us to control and direct.C. Daydreams help us to handle more difficult situations.D. Daydreams help to develop an unconscious mind.83. Professor Eric Klinger believes that _____.A. we may study our experiences just through our daydreamsB. daydreaming is one of the important ways that we recognize our livesC. we should be able to tell our futures by having daydreamsD. our fears and longings in life are shown in our daydreams84. The writer of the article thinks that _____.A. Professor Eric Klinger has a better idea than L. GiambraB. daydreaming with an unconscious mind will do good to healthC. daydreaming is more helpful than sleep dreamsD. many artists and scientists are famous because they have daydreams85. Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?A. Daydreaming was once regarded as a cause of some mental illnesses.B. Scientists believe that we can know daydreams before having them.C. Experts began to have a better understanding of daydreams in the late 1980s.D. Many well-known artists gained energy of creation from daydreams.第II卷(共35分)六、下面有并列的两组限选题(I组和II组)，考生任选一组。

The measure of a man's real character is what he would do if he knew he would never be found out.—Thomas MacaulaySome thirty years ago, I was studying in a public school in New York.One day, Mrs Nanette O'Neill gave an arithmetic 26 to our class.When the papers were 27 she discovered that twelve boys had made exactly the 28 mistakes throughout the test.There is nothing really new about 29 in exams.Perhaps that was why Mrs O'Neill 30 even say a word about it.She only asked the twelve boys to 31 after class.I was one of the twelve.Mrs O'Neill asked 32 questions, and she didn't 33 us either.Instead, she wrote on the blackboard the 34 words by Thomas Macaulay.She then ordered us to 35 these words into our exercise-books one hundred times.I don't 36 about the other eleven boys.Speaking for 37 I can say:it was the most important single 38 of my life.Thirty years after being 39 to Macaulay's words, they 40 seem to me the best yardstick(准绳), because they give us a 41 to measure ourselves rather than others.42 of us are asked to make 43 decisions about nations going to war of armies going to battle.But all of us are called 44 daily to make a great many personal decisions.45 the wallet, found in the street, be put into a pocket 46 turned over to the policeman?
