President Bush certainly thinks so. He has argued that tapping ANWR’s oil would help ease California’s electricity crisis and provide a major boost to the country’s energy independence. But no one knows for sure how much crude oil lies buried beneath the frozen earth with the last government survey, conducted in 1998, projecting output anywhere from 3 billion to 16 billion barrels.The oil industry goes with the high end of the range, which could equal as much as 10% of U.S. consumption for as long as six years. By pumping more than 1 million barrels a day from the reserve for the next two three decades, lobbyists claim, the nation could cut back on imports equivalent to all shipments to the U.S. from Saudi Arabia. Sounds good. An oil boom would also mean a multibillion-dollar windfall (意外之财) in tax revenues,royalties (开采权使用费) and leasing fees for Alaska and the Federal Government. Best of all, advocates of drilling say, damage to the environment would be insignificant. “We’ve never had a document case of oil rig chasing deer out onto the pack ice.” says Alaska State Representative Scott Ogan.Not so far, say environmentalists. Sticking to the low end of government estimates, the National Resources Defense Council says there may be no more than 3.2 billion barrels of economically recoverable oil in the coastal plain of ANWR, a drop in the bucket that would do virtually nothing to ease America’s energy problems. And consumers would wait up to a decade to gain any benefits, because drilling could begin only after much bargaining over leases, environmental permits and regulatory review. As for ANWR’s impact on the California power crisis, environmentalists point out that oil is responsible for only 1% of the Golden State’s electricity output—and just 3% of the nation’s.21. What does President Bush think of tapping oil in ANWR?A) It will exhaust the nation’s oil reserves.B) It will help secure the future of ANWR.C) It will help reduce the nation’s oil imports.D) It will increase America’s energy consumption.22. We learn from the second paragraph that the American oil industry ________.A) believes that drilling for oil in ANWR will produce high yieldsB) tends to exaggerate America’s reliance on foreign oilC) shows little interest in tapping oil in ANWRD) expects to stop oil imports from Saudi Arabia23. Those against oil drilling in ANWR argue that ________.A) it can cause serious damage to the environmentB) it can do little to solve U.S. energy problemsC) it will drain the oil reserves in the Alaskan regionD) it will not have much commercial value24. What do the environmentalists mean by saying “Not so fast” (Line 1, Para. 3)?A) Oil exploitation takes a long timeB) The oil drilling should be delayedC) Don’t be too optimisticD) Don’t expect fast returns25. It can be learned from the passage that oil exploitation beneath ANWR’s frozenearth ________.A) remains a controversial issueB) is expected to get under way soonC) involves a lot of technological problemsD) will enable the U.S. to be oil independentPassage 2“Tear‘em apart!” “Kill the fool!” “Murder the referee (裁判)!”These are common remarks one may hear at various sporting events. At the time they are made, they may seem innocent enough. But let’s not kid ourselves. They have been known to influence behavior in such a way as to lead to real bloodshed. V olumes have been written about the way words affect us. It has been shown that words having certain connotations (含义) may cause us to react in ways quite foreign to what we consider to be our usual humanistic behavior. I see the term “opponent” as one of those words. Perhaps the time has come to delete it from sports terms.The dictionary meaning of the term “opponent “is “adversary “: “enemy “; “one who opposes your interests.” “Thus, when a player meets an opponent, he or she may tend to treat that opponent as an enemy. At such times, winning may dominate one’s intellect, and every action, no matter how gross, may be considered justifiable. I recall an incident in a handball game when a referee refused a player’s request for a time out for a glove change because he did not considered then wet enough. The player proceeded to rub his gloves across his wet T-shirt and then exclaimed. “Are they wet enough now?”In the heat of battle, players have been observed to throw themselves across the court without considering the consequences that such a move might have on anyone in their way. I have also witnessed a player reacting to his opponent’s international and illegal blocking by deliberately hitting him with the ball as hard as he could during the course of play. Off the court, they are good friends. Does that make any sense? It certainly gives proof of a court attitude which departs from normal behavior.Therefore, I believe it is time we elevated (提升) the game to the level where it belongs thereby setting an example to the rest of the sporting world. Replacing the term “opponent” with “associate” could be an ideal way to start.The dictionary meaning of the term “associate” is “colleague”; “friend”; “companion.” Reflect a moment! You may soon see and possibly feel the difference i n your reaction to the term “associate” rather than “opponent.”26. Which of the following statements best expresses the author’s view?A) Aggressive behavior in sports can have serious consequences.B) The words people use can influence their behavior.C) Unpleasant words in sports are often used by foreign athletes.D) Unfair judgments by referees will lead to violence on the sports field.27. Harsh words are spoken during games because the players ________.A) are too eager to winB) are usually short-tempered and easily offendedC) cannot afford to be polite in fierce competitionD) treat their rivals as enemies28. What did the handball player do when he was not allowed a time out to change hisgloves?A) He refused to continue the game.B) He angrily hit the referee with a ball.C) He claimed that the referee was unfair.D) He wet his gloves by rubbing them across his T-shirt.29. According to the passage, players, in a game, may ________.A) deliberately throw the ball at anyone illegally blocking their wayB) keep on screaming and shouting throughout the gameC) lie down on the ground as an act of protestD) kick the ball across the court with force30. The author hopes to have the current situation in sports improved by ________.A) calling on players to use clean language on the courtB) raising the referee’s sense of responsibilityC) changing the attitude of players on the sports fieldD) regulating the relationship between players and refereesPassage 3Consumers are being confused and misled by the hodge-podge (大杂烩) of environmental claims made by household products, according to a “green labeling” study published by Consumers International Friday.Among the report’s more outrageous (令人无法容忍的) findings-a German fertilizer described it self as “earthworm friendly” a brand of flour said it was “non-polluting” and a British toilet paper claimed to be “environmentally friendlier”The study was written and researched by Britain’s National Consumer Council (NCC) for lobby group Consumer International. It was funded by the German and Dutch governments and the European Commission.“ While many good and useful claims are being made, it is clear there is a long way to go in ensuring shoppers are adequately informed about the environmental impact of products they buy,” said Consumers International director Anna Fielder.The 10-country study surveyed product packaging in Britain, Western Europe, Scandinavia and the United States. It found that products sold in Germany and the United Kingdom made the most environmental claims on average.The report focused on claims made by specific products, such as detergent (洗涤剂) insect sprays and by some garden products. It did not test the claims, but compared them to labeling guidelines set by the International Standards Organization (ISO) in September, 1999.Researchers documented claims of environmental friendliness made by about 2,000 products and found many too vague or too misleading to meet ISO standards.“Many products had specially-designed labels to make them seem environmentally friendly, but in fact many of these symbols mean nothing,” said report researcher Philip Page.“Laundry detergents made the most number of claims with 158. Household cleaners were second with 145 separate claims, while paints were third on our list with 73. The high numbers show how very confusing it must be for consumers to sort the true from the misleading.” he said.The ISO labeling standards ban vague or misleading claims on product packaging, because terms such as “environmentally friendly” and “non-polluting” cannot be verified. “What we are now pushing for is to have multinational corporations meet the standards set by the ISO.” said Page.31. According to the passage, the NCC found it outrageous that ________.A) all the products surveyed claim to meet ISO standardsB) the claims made by products are often unclear or deceivingC) consumers would believe many of the manufactures’ claimD) few products actually prove to be environment friendly32. As indicated in this passage, with so many good claims, the consumers ________.A) are becoming more cautious about the products they are going to buyB) are still not willing to pay more for products with green labelingC) are becoming more aware of the effects different products have on theenvironmentD) still do not know the exact impact of different products on the environment33. A study was carried out by Britain’s NCC to ________.A) find out how many claims made by products fail to meet environmentalstandardsB) inform the consumers of the environmental impact of the products they buyC) examine claims made by products against ISO standardsD) revise the guidelines set by the International Standards Organization34. What is one of the consequences caused by the many claims of household products?A) They are likely to lead to serious environmental problems.B) Consumers find it difficult to tell the true from the false.C) They could arouse widespread anger among consumer.D) Consumers will be tempted to buy products they don’t need.35. It can be inferred from the passage that the lobby group Consumer Internationalwants to ________.A) make product labeling satisfy ISO requirementsB) see all household products meet environmental standardsC) warn consumers of the danger of so-called green productsD) verify the efforts of non-polluting productsPassage 4Two hours from the tall buildings of Manhattan and Philadelphia live some of the world’s largest black bears. They are in northern Pennsylvania’s Pocono Mountains, a home they share with an abundance of other wildlife.The streams, lakes,meadows (草地), mountain ridges and forests that make the Poconos an ideal place for black bears have also attracted more people to the region. Open spaces are threatened by plans for housing estates and important habitats (栖息地) are endangered by highway construction. To protect the Poconos natural beauty from irresponsible development, the Nature Conservancy (大自然保护协会) named the area one of America’s “Last Great Places”.Operating out of a century-old schoolhouse in the village of Long Pond, Pennsylvania, the conservancy’s bud Cook is working with local people and business leaders to balance economic growth with environmental protection. By forging partnerships with people like Francis Altemose, the Conservancy has been able to protect more than 14,000 acres of environmentally important land in the area.Altemose’s family has farmed in the Pocono area for generations. Two years ago Francis worked with the Conservancy to include his farm in a county farmland protection program. As a result, his family’s land can be protected from development and theAltemoses will be better able to provide a secure financial future for their 7-year-old grandson.Cook attributes the Conservancy’s success in the Poconos to having a local presence and a commitment to working with local residents“The key to protecting these remarkable lands is connecting with the local community,” Cook said. “The people who live there respect the land. They value quiet forests, clear streams and abundant wildlife. They are eager to help with conservation effort.For more information on how you can help the Nature Conservancy protect the Poconos and the world’s other “Last Great Places,” please call 1-888-564 6864 or visit us on the World Wide Web at .36.

Many people believe we are heading for environmental disaster ________ weradically change way we live.A) butB) althoughC) unlessD) lestPart IV Short Answer Questions (15 minutes)We commonly think of sportsmanship in connection with athletic contests, but it also applies to individual outdoor sports. Not everyone who picks up a fishing rod or goes out with a gun is a sportsman. The sportsman first of all obeys the fish and game laws, not because he is liable to be punished as a violator, but because he knows that in the main these laws are made for his best interests.The following are some of the things that those who would qualify for membership in the sportsmanship fraternity (圈内人) will do.1. Take no more game than the bag limit provided for by the fish and game laws. The person who comes back from a trip boasting about the large number of fish or game taken is not a sportsman but a game hog (贪得无厌的捕猎者).2. Observe the unwritten rules of fair play. This means shooting game birds only when the birds are “on the wing”. For the same reason, do not use a shotgun to shoot a rabbit or similar animal while it is sitting or standing still.3. Be careful in removing illegal or undersized fish from the hook. This should be done only after wetting the hands. This is necessary because the body of the fish is covered with a thin, protective film which will stick to your dry hands. If the hands are dry when the fish is handled, the film is torn from the body of the fish. Without the protective film, the fish is more easily attacked by diseases. If you wish to release a fish that is hooked in such a way that it will be impossible to be close to the hook as convenient. In a remarkably short time, the hook will break down and the fish will remain almost unharmed. Fish have been known to feed successfully while hooks were still in their lips.4. Be sure of the identity of your target before you shoot. Many useful and harmless species of wildlife are thoughtlessly killed by the uninformed person who is out with a gun to kill whatever flies within range.S1. In what respect does the author think individual outdoor sports are similar to athletic contests?S2. A person who goes out fishing with a fishing rod or hunting with a gun is not necessarily ________.S3. What’s the most important thing a true sportsman should bear in mind when he goes fishing or hunting ________.S4. Those who violate the fish and game laws will not be ________ for membership in the sportsmanship fraternity.S5. What are people called when they break the bag limit and boast about their big catch?S6. A true sportsman will not shoot an animal which is not ________.S7. What are people advised to do before they remove illegal or undersized fish from the hook?S8. What should sportsman do to avoid killing rare species of wildlife?Part V Writing (30 minutes)Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay in honor of teachers on the occasion of Teacher’s Day.

President Bush certainly thinks so. He has argued that tapping ANWR’s oil would help ease California’s electricity crisis and provide a major boost to the country’s energy independence. But no one knows for sure how much crude oil lies buried beneath the frozen earth with the last government survey, conducted in 1998, projecting output anywhere from 3 billion to 16 billion barrels.The oil industry goes with the high end of the range, which could equal as much as 10% of U.S. consumption for as long as six years. By pumping more than 1 million barrels a day from the reserve for the next two three decades, lobbyists claim, thenation could cut back on imports equivalent to all shipments to the U.S. from Saudi Arabia. Sounds good. An oil boom would also mean a multibillion-dollar windfall（意外之财）in tax revenues, royalties(开采权使用费)and leasing fees for Alaska and the Federal Government. Best of all, advocates of drilling say , damage to the environment would be insignificant . “We’ve never had a document case of oil rig chasing deer out onto the pack ice.”says Alaska State Representative Scott Ogan .Not so far, say environmentalists. Sticking to the low end of government estimates, the National Resources Defense Council says there may be no more than 3.2 billion barrels of economically recoverable oil in the coastal plain of ANWR, a drop in the bucket that would do virtually nothing to ease America’s energy problems. And consumers would wait up to a decade to gain any benefits, because drilling could begin only after much bargaining over leases, environmental permits and regulatory review. As for ANWR’s impact on the California power crisis, environmentalists point out that oil is responsible for only 1% of the Golden State’s electricity output –and just 3% of the nation’s.21. What does President Bush think of tapping oil in ANWR?A) It will exhaust the nation’s oil reserves.B) It will help secure the future of ANWR.C) It will help reduce the nation’s oil importsD) It will increase America’s energy consumption22. We learn from the second paragraph that the American oil industry _______A) believes that drilling for oil in ANWR will produce high yieldsB) tends to exaggerate America’s reliance on foreign oilC) shows little interest in tapping oil in ANWRD) expects to stop oil imports from Saudi Arabia23. Those against oil drilling in ANWR argue that _________A) it can cause serious damage to the environmentB) it can do little to solve U.S. energy problemsC) it will drain the oil reserves in the Alaskan regionD) it will not have much commercial value24. What do the environmentalists mean by saying “Not so fast”(Line 1, Para .3)?A) Oil exploitation takes a long timeB) The oil drilling should be delayedC) Don’t be too optimisticD) Don’t expect fast returns25. It can be learned from the passage that oil exploitation beneath ANWR’s frozen earth ______.A) remains a controversial issueB) is expected to get under way soonC) involves a lot of technological problemsD) will enable the U.S. to be oil independentPassage 2“Tear ‘em apart!”“Kill the fool!”“Murder the referee ( 裁判)！”These are common remarks one may hear at various sporting events. At the time they are made, they may seem innocent enough. But let’s not kid ourselves. They have been known to influence behavior in such a way as to lead to real bloodshed. V olumes have been written about the way words affect us .It has been shown that words having certain connotations (含义) may cause us to react in ways quite foreign to what we consider to be our usual humanistic behavior . I see the term “opponent “as one of those words . Perhaps the time has come to delete it from sports terms.The dictionary meaning of the term “opponent “is “adversary “:“enemy “; “one who opposes your interests.”“Thus, when a player meets an opponent, he or she may tend to treat that opponent as an enemy. At such times, winning may dominate one’s intellect, and every action, no matter how gross, may be considered justifiable. I recall an incident in a handball game when a referee refused a player’s request for a time out for a glove change because he did not considered then wet enough. The player proceeded to rub his gloves across his wet T-shirt and then exclaimed. “Are they wet enough now?”In the heat of battle, players have been observed to throw themselves across the court without considering the consequences that such a move might have on anyone in their way. I have also witnessed a player reacting to his opponent’s international and illegal blocking by deliberately hitting him with the ball as hard as he could during the course of play. Off the court, they are good friends. Does that make any sense? It certainly gives proof of a court attitude which departs from normal behavior.Therefore, I believe it is time we elevated(提升)the game to the level where it belongs thereby setting an example to the rest of the sporting world . Replacing the term “opponent “with “associate”could be an ideal way to start.The dictionary meaning of the term “associate “is “colleague”; “friend”; “companion.”Reflect a moment! You may soon see and possibly feel the difference in your reaction to the term “associate”rather than “opponent.”26. Which of the following statements best expresses the author’s view?A) Aggressive behavior in sports can have serious consequencesB) The words people use can influence their behaviorC) Unpleasant words in sports are often used by foreign athletesD) Unfair judgments by referees will lead to violence on the sports field27. Harsh words are spoken during games because the players _______A) are too eager to winB) are usually short-tempered and easily offendedC) cannot afford to be polite in fierce competitionD) treat their rivals as enemies28. What did the handball player do when he was not allowed a time out to change his gloves?A) He refused to continue the gameB) He angrily hit the referee with a ballC) He claimed that the referee was unfairD) He wet his gloves by rubbing them across his T-shirt29. According to the passage, players, in a game , may _______A) deliberately throw the ball at anyone illegally blocking their wayB) keep on screaming and shouting throughout the gameC) lie down on the ground as an act of protestD) kick the ball across the court with force30. The author hopes to have the current situation in sports improved by ______A) calling on players to use clean language on the courtB) raising the referee’s sense of responsibilityC) changing the attitude of players on the sports fieldD) regulating the relationship between players and refereesPassage 3Consumers are being confused and misled by the hodge-podge (大杂烩) of environmental claims made by household products, according to a “green labeling”study published by Consumers International Friday .Among the report’s more outrageous (令人无法容忍的) findings-a German fertilizer described itself as “earthworm friendly”a brand of flour said it was “non-polluting”and a British toilet paper claimed to be “environmentally friendlier”The study was written and researched by Britain’s National Consumer Council (NCC) for lobby group Consumer International. It was funded by the German and Dutch governments and the European Commission.“While many good and useful claims are being made , it is clear there is a long way to go in ensuring shoppers are adequately informed about the environmental impact of products they buy,”said Consumers International director Anna Fielder .The 10-country study surveyed product packaging in Britain. Western Europe, Scandinavia and the United States. It found that products sold in Germany and the United Kingdom made the most environmental claims on average.The report focused on claims made by specific products , such as detergent (洗涤剂) insect sprays and by some garden products . It did not test the claims, but compared them to labeling guidelines set by the International Standards Organization (ISO) in September, 1999.Researchers documented claims of environmental friendliness made by about 2,000 products and found many too vague or too misleading to meet ISO standards.“Many products had specially-designed labels to make them seem environmentally friendly, but in fact many of these symbols mean nothing,”said report researcher Philip Page.“Laundry detergents made the most number of claims with 158. Household cleaners were second with 145 separate claims, while paints were third on our list with 73. The high numbers show how very confusing it must be for consumers to sort the true from the misleading.”he said.The ISO labeling standards ban vague or misleading claims on product packaging, because terms such as “environmentally friendly”and “non-polluting”cannot be verified. “What we are now pushing for is to have multinational corporations meet the standards set by the ISO.”said Page.31. According to the passage, the NCC found it outrageous that ______A) all the products surveyed claim to meet ISO standardsB) the claims made by products are often unclear or deceivingC) consumers would believe many of the manufactures’claimD) few products actually prove to be environment friendly32.As indicated in this passage , with so many good claims , the consumers ___A) are becoming more cautious about the products they are going to buyB) are still not willing to pay more for products with green labelingC) are becoming more aware of the effects different products have on the environmentD) still do not know the exact impact of different products on the environment33. A study was carried out by Britain’s NCC to _______A) find out how many claims made by products fail to meet environmental standardsB) inform the consumers of the environmental impact of the products they buyC) examine claims made by products against ISO standardsD) revise the guidelines set by the International Standards Organization34. What is one of the consequences caused by the many claims of household products?A) They are likely to lead to serious environmental problemsB) Consumers find it difficult to tell the true from the falseC) They could arouse widespread anger among consumerD) Consumers will be tempted to buy products they don’t need35. It can be inferred from the passage that the lobby group Consumer International wants to ____.A) make product labeling satisfy ISO requirementsB) see all household products meet environmental standardsC) warn consumers of the danger of so-called green productsD) verify the efforts of non-polluting productsPassage 4Two hours from the tall buildings of Manhattan and Philadelphia live some of the world’s largest black bears. They are in northern Pennsylvania’s Pocono Mountains, a home they share with an abundance of other wildlife.The streams, lakes, meadows (草地), mountain ridges and forests that make the Poconos an ideal place for black bears have also attracted more people to the region. Open spaces are threatened by plans for housing estates and important habitats (栖息地) are endangered by highway construction . To protect the Poconos’natural beauty from irresponsible development, the Nature Conservancy (大自然保护协会) named the area one of America’s “Last Great Places”.Operating out of a century-old schoolhouse in the village of Long Pond, Pennsylvania, the conservancy’s bud Cook is working with local people and business leaders to balance economic growth with environmental protection. By forging partnerships with people like Francis Altemose, the Conservancy has been able to protect more than 14,000 acres of environmentally important land in the area.Altemose’s family has farmed in the Pocono area for generations. Two years ago Francis worked with the Conservancy to include his farm in a county farmland protection program. As a result, his family’s land can be protected from developmentand the Altemoses will be better able to provide a secure financial future for their 7-year-old grandson.Cook attributes the Conservancy’s success in the Poconos to having a local presence and a commitment to working with local residents“The key to protecting these remarkable lands is connecting with the local community,”Cook said. “The people who live there respect the land. They value quiet forests, clear streams and abundant wildlife. They are eager to help with conservation effort.For more information on how you can help the Nature Conservancy protect the Poconos and the world’s other “Last Great Places,”please call 1-888-564 6864 or visit us on the World Wide Web at .36.

Not everyone who picks up a fishing rod or goes out with a gun is a sportsman. The sportsman first of all obeys the fish and game laws, not because he is liable to be punished as a violator, but because he knows that in the main these laws are made for his best interests.The following are some of the things that those who would qualify for membership in the sportsmanship fraternity (圈内人) will do.1. Take no more game than the bag limit provided for by the fish and game laws. The person who comes back from a trip boasting about the large number of fish or game taken is not a sportsman but a game hog (贪得无厌的捕猎者) .2. Observe the unwritten rules of fair play. This means shooting game birds only when the birds are “on the wing”. For the same reason, do not use a shotgun to shoot a rabbit or similar animal while it is sitting or standing still.3. Be careful in removing illegal or undersized fish from the hook. This should be done only after wetting the hands. This is necessary because the body of the fish is covered with a thin, protective film which will stick to your dry hands. If the hands are dry when the fish is handled, the film is torn from the body of the fish. Without the protective film, the fish is more easily attacked by diseases. If you wish to release a fish that is hooked in such a way that it will be impossible to be close to the hook as convenient. In a remarkably short time, the hook will break down and the fish will remain almost unharmed. Fish have been known to feed successfully while hooks were still in their lips.4. Be sure of the identity of your target before you shoot. Many useful and harmless species of wildlife are thoughtlessly killed by the uninformed person who is out with a gun to kill whatever flies within range.S1.

This may be an indication that you‟re in the habit of putti ng things off. If you are one of those people who insists on cleaning up all the little projects awaiting you, in order to remove those “bothersome little things” before you begin a major project, you are actually engaging in procrastination by allowing yourself to fall victim to the “tyranny of the trivial”.Reasons for ProcrastinationLike many issues involving time management, procrastination is a behavioral problem, and like all such problems it can, with sufficient motivation, be changed. In order to change a behavioral pattern, however, it is necessary to understand the reasons for the behavior.Don’t know where to start. If you think about it, the tasks which you tend to postpone will generally fall into two categories. The first of these is the f airly large or complex task. Such tasks are generally important in their outcome, which only adds to the pressure to do a good job, and yet their very complexity makes it difficult to know just where or how to begin. The result is that the task is put off until it simply has to be dealt with.An unpleasant task. The second category of task commonly postponed is that which is either unpleasant to do or may have unpleasant consequences. This may be some aspect of your work that you simply don‟t enjoy, or it may be something like a negative job appraisal (评估) for an employee. Again, the task is put off until otherpressures make it necessary for it to be tackled.Fear of failure. On a bit more “psychological” note, there are those who put off tasks because they have a subconscious fear that they will not be able to perform them satisfactorily. Related to this are those who hold themselves to the standard of perfection for all work they do. If they support that their work will be less than perfect they may be inclined to put it off.Overcoming ProcrastinationIt is important that you take the time to recognize which reasons apply most to you or to your staff members. By doing so you will be able to select from the solutions that fellow, the one or more that will best help you to overcome procrastination.Use the SWAP approach. If you analyze an overwhelming task that is currently facing you, you will probably find that it can be broken down into a number of smaller, more manageable pieces. A logical order will emerge for completing each part, or you may have to improve such an order on the component parts. You can then SWAP---Start With A Pat. And if you‟ve listed the various parts in writing---which is recommended---you can have the pleasure of crossing them off step by step, and seeing a visual representation of the fact that as you complete each step you bring yourself closer to the completion of the overall project.The importance of deadline. We tend to see deadlines as a cause of stress rather than as a solution. This is because they are often unrealistic, and they are often imposed by others. Actually, when you face a project of which no deadline has beenestablished, you should establish one. This helps you to focus on a project, and it helps you plan your time. Deadline should not be set only for the completion of the project, but for the various steps along the way as well. Be sure, however, that your deadlines are realistic, or you will only increase the pressure which deadlines---strange as it may seem---have the power to reduce.The power of priorities. When is procrastination not procrastination? When you have postponed low priority tasks in order to complete tasks of higher priority. Not everything we do had the same importance and we must recognize this and use it in setting priorities. We must also remember that priorities must constantly be reevaluated and recorded as circumstance change.T ell someone else. If you have a big project to work on, let someone else know about it, and let them know what your deadline is. It may be a co-worker, it may be a family member, it may be a friend. The fact is that while we often don‟t mind disappointing ourselves, we are far less likely to disappoint others. Thus, we have the incentive to work on the project, if for no other reason than that we would be embarrassed to have to admit to a friend, family member or co-worker, that we have failed.Breaking habits requires the creation of other, better habits in their place, and this is never an overnight process. Nor should it be an overwhelming one. The surest route to failure is to look at this list of solutions and attempt to put them all into effect at once. Select a single solution which seems to have the greatest impact on your specific pattern of procrastination behavior, and begin to put that into effectimmediately.1. The passage tells us why people out off tasks and how to deal with this problem.2. Before beginning a major project, procrastinators would like to clean up those trivials.3. Procrastination is a behavioral problem almost impossible to be changed.4. The need to accomplish a complex task may bring with it great pressure.5. Perfectionists tend to put of an task because they don‟t enjoy an unpleasant one.6. The SWAP approach is also applicable in writing a composition.7. Both realistic and unrealistic deadlines will cause pressure.8. When setting ______________, we must recognize that not everyt hing we do has the same importance.9. Why “Tell someone else” may help stop procrastination is that nobody wants to admit their __________.10. Breaking habits and creating of better ones are neither a(an)_________ nor a(an)___________process.Par tⅢListening Comprehension (35 minutes) Section ADirections: In this section, you will hear 8 short conversations and 2 longconversations.

Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words. Write your answers in the spaces provided on the page.We commonly think of sportsmanship in the connection with athletic contests, but it also applies to individual outdoor sports. Not everyone who picks up a fishing rod or goes out with a gun is a sportsman. The sportsman first of all obeys the fish and game laws, not because he is liable to be punished as a violator, but because he knows that in the main these laws are made for his best interest.The following are some of the things that those who would qualify for membership in the sportsmanship fraternity (圈内人) will do.1). Take no more game than the bag limit provided for by the fish and game laws.The person who comes back from a trip boasting about the large numbers of fish or game taken is not a sportsman but a game hog (贪得无厌的捕食者).2). Observe the unwritten rules of fair play. This means shooting game birds onlywhen the birds are “on the wing.” For the same reason, do not use a shotgun to shoot a rabbit or similar animal while it is sitting or standing still.3). Be careful in removing illegal or undersized fish from the hook. This should bedone only after wetting the hands. This is necessary because the body of the fish is covered with a thin, protective film which will stick to your dry hands. If the hands are dry when the fish is handled, the film is torn from the body of the fish.Without the protective film, the fish is more easily attacked by diseases. If you wish to release a fish that is hooked in such a way that it will be impossible to disengage the hook without badly injuring the fish, just take a knife and cut the line or leader as close to the hook as convenient. In a remarkably short time, the book will break down and the fish will remain almost unharmed. Fish have been known to feed successfully while hooks were still in their lips.4). Be sure of the identity of your target before you shoot. Many useful and harmlessspecies of wildlife are thoughtlessly killed by the uninformed person who is out with a gun to kill whatever flies within range.47. In what respect does the author think individual outdoor sports are similar toathletic contests?____________________________________________________________.48. What‟s the most important thing a true sportsman should bear in mind when hegoes fishing or hunting?____________________________________________________________.49. Those who violate the fish and game laws will not be _______________ formembership in the sportsmanship fraternity.50. A true sportsman will not shoot an animal which is not _______________.51. What should sportsmen do to avoid killing rare species of wildlife?____________________________________________________________.Section BDirections: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are choices marked A), B), C) and D). Y ou should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the center.Passage OneQuestions 52 to 56 are based on the following passage.Is there enough oil beneath the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (保护区) (ANWR) to help secure America‟s energy future? President Bush certainly thinks so. He has argued that tapping ANWR‟s oil would help ease California‟s electricity crisis and provide a major boost to the country‟s energy independence. But no one knowsfor sure how much crude oil lies buried beneath the frozen earth, with the last government survey, conducted in 1998, projecting output anywhere from 3 billion to 16 billion barrels.The oil industry goes with the high end of the range, which could equal as much as 10% of U.S. consumption for as long as six years. By pumping more than 1 million barrels a day from the reserve for the next two or three decades, lobbyists claim, the nation could cut back on imports equivalent to all shipments to the U.S. from Saudi Arabia. Sounds good. An oil boom would also mean a multibillion-dollar windfall (意外之财) in tax revenues, royalties (开采权使用费) and leasing fees for Alaska and the Federal Government. Best of all, advocates of drilling say, damage to the environment would be insignificant. “We‟ve never had a documented case of an oil rig chasing deer out onto the pack ice,” says Alaska State Representative Scott Ogan.Not so fast, say environmentalists. Sticking to the low end of government estimates, the National Resources Defense Council says there may be no more than 3.2 billion barrels of economically recoverable oil in the coastal plain of ANWR, a dr op in the bucket that would do virtually nothing to ease America‟senergy problems. And consumers would wait up to a decade to gain anybenefits, because drilling could begin only after much bargaining over leases, environmental permits and regulatory re view. As for ANWR‟s impact on the California power crisis, environmentalists point out that oil is responsible for only 1% of the Golden State‟s electricity output---and just 3% of the nation‟s.52. W hat does President Bush think of tapping oil in ANWR?A) It will exhaust the nation‟s oil reserves.B) It will help secure the future of ANWR.C) It will help reduce the nation‟s oil imports.D) It will increase America‟s energy consumption.53. W e learn from the second paragraph that the American oil industry_______.A) believes that drilling for oil in ANWR will produce high yields.B) tends to exaggerate America‟s reliance on foreign oil.C) shows little interest in tapping oil in ANWR.D) expects to stop oil imports from Saudi Arabia.54. T hose against oil drilling in ANWR argue that ____________.A) it can cause serious damage to the environmentB) it can do little to solve U.S. energy problems.C) it will drain the oil reserves in the Alaskan regionD) it will not have much commercial value55. What do the environmentalists mean by saying “Not so fast” (Line 1, Para. 3)?A) Oil exploitation takes a long time. B) The oil drilling should be delayed.C) Don‟t be too optimistic.D) Don‟t expect fast returns.56. It can be learned fr om the passage that oil exploitation beneath ANWR‟s frozenearth__________.A) remains a controversial issue B) is expected to get under way soonC) involves a lot of technological problemsD) will enable the U.S. to be oil independent.Passage T woQuestions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.Consumers are being confused and misled by the hodge-podge (大杂烩) of environmental claims made by household products, according to a “green labeling” study published by Consumers International Friday.Among the report‟s more outrageous (令人无法容忍的) findings—a German fertilizer described itself as “earthworm friendly”, a brand of flour said it was “non-polluting”, and a British toilet paper claimed to be “environmentally friendlier”.The study was written and researched by Britain‟s National Consumer Council (NCC) for lobby group Consumers International. It was founded by the German and Dutch governments and the European Commission.“While many good and useful claims are being made, it is clear there is a long way to go in ensuring shoppers are adequately informed about the environmental impact of the products they buy,” said Consumers International director Anna Fielder.The 10—country study surveyed product packaging in Britain, Western Europe, Scandinavia and the Untied States. It found that products sold in Germany and the United Kingdom made the most environmental claims on average.The report focused on claims made by specific products, such as detergents (洗涤剂), insect sprays and by some garden products. It did not test the claims, but compared them to labeling guidelines set by the International Standards Organization (ISO) in September, 1999.Researchers documented claims of environmental friendliness made by about 2,000 products and found many too vague or too misleading to meet ISO standards.“Many products had specially-designed labels to make them seem environmentally friendly, but in fact many of these symbols mean nothing,” said report researcher Philip Page.“Laundry detergents made the most number of claims with 158. Household cleaners were second with 145 separate claims, while paints were third on our list with 73. The high numbers show how very confusing it must be for consumers to sort the true from the misleading,” he said.The ISO labeling standards ban vague or misleading claims on product packaging, because terms such as “environmentally friendly” and “non-polluting” cannot be verified. “What we are now pushing for is to have multinati onal corporations meet the standards set by the ISO,” said Page.57. A ccording to the passage, the NCC found it outrageous that __________.A) all the products surveyed claim to met ISO standardsB) the claims made by products are often unclear or deceivingC) consumers would believe many of the manufacturers‟ claimsD) few products actually prove to be environmentally friendly.58. As indicated in this passage, with so many good claims, the consumers________.A) are becoming more cautious about the products they are going to buyB) are still not willing to pay more for products with green labelingC) are becoming more aware of the effects different products on the environmentD) still do not know exact impact of different products on the environment59. A study was carried out by Britain‟s NCC to ________.A) find out how many claims made by products fail to meet environmentalstandardsB) inform the consumers of the environmental impact of the products theyBuyC) examine claims made by products against ISO standardsD) revise the guidelines set by the International Standards Organization60. What is one of the consequences caused by the many claims of householdproducts?A) They are likely to lead to serious environmental problems.B) Consumers find it difficult to tell the true from the false.C) They could arouse widespread anger among consumers.D) Consumers will be tempted to buy products they don‟t need.61. It can be inferred from the passage that the lobby group Consumer Internationalwants to _________.A) make product labeling satisfy ISO requirementsB) see all household products meet environmental standardsC) warn consumers of the danger of so-called green productsD) verify the effects of non-polluting productsPar tⅤError-Correction (15 minutes) Directions: This part consists of a short passage.

On this special occasion I would like to extend my heartfelt congratulations to all teachers/I would like to convey my sincere gratitude to all teachers and wish them, “Happy Teacher‟s Day!”Of all teachers who have taught me since my early childhood, the most unforgettable one is my first English teacher in college, Ms. Zhang. It is she who has aroused my keen interest in the learning of English and helped me realize the importance of self-reliance. Born into a poor famer‟s family in a mountainous area and educated in relatively primitive surroundings, I found myself lagging far behind in the first class in college, which happened to be Ms. Zhang‟s English class. I was really discouraged and frustrated, so I decided to drop out. Ms. Zhang was so ke enly insightful that she had noticed my embarrassment in class. After class, she called meinto the Teacher‟s Room and discussed the situation with me, earnestly and kindly, citing the example of Robinson Crusoe to motivate me to go ahead in spite of all k inds of difficulties. “Be a man and rely on yourself,“ she nudged me. The next time we met, she brought me a simplified version of Robinson Crusoe and recommended that I finish reading it in a week and write a book report. Under her consistent and patient guidance, not only has my English been greatly improved, but also my confidence and courage enhanced considerably.…Rely on yourself and be a man,” Ms. Zhang‟s inspiring words have been echoing in my mind/pose an everlasting influence on my life. I will work harder and try my utmost to lay a solid foundation for my future career. Only by so doing can I repay Ms. Zhang‟s kindness and live up to her expectation of me, that is, to become a useful person and contribute to society.1. Y2. Y3. N4. Y5. N6. NG7.

They are in northern Pennsylvania’s Pocono Mountains , a home they share with an abundance of other wildlife .The streams , lakes , meadows ( 草地) , mountain ridges and forests that make the Poconos an ideal place for black bearshave also attracted more people to the region . Open spaces are threatened by plans for housing estates and important habitats (栖息地) are endangered by highway construction . To protect the Poconos’ natural beauty from irresponsible development . The Nature Conservancy (⼤⾃然保护协会) named the area one of America’s “Last Great Places” Operating out of a century-old schoolhouse in the village of Long Pond, Pennsylvania, the conservancy’s bud Cook is working with local people and business leaders to balance economic growth with environmental protection. By forging partnerships with people like Francis Altemose, the Conservancy has been able to protect more than 14,000 acres of environmentally important land in the area.Altemose’s family has farmed in the Pocono area for generations. Two years ago Francis worked with the Conservancy to include his farm in a county farmland protection program. As a result, his family’s land can be protected from development and the Altemoses will be better able to provide a secure financial future for their 7-year-old grandson .Cook attributes the Conservancy’s success in the Poconos to having a local presence and a commitment to working with local residents“ The key to protecting these remarkable lands is connecting with the local community,” Cook said . “ The people who live there respect the land . They value quite forests , clear streams and abundant wildlife .

2005年英语专业四级阅读理解答案及解析
2005年英语专业四级阅读理解答案及解析TEXT AIt was 1961 and I was in the fifth grade. My marks in school were miserable and, the thing was, I didn't know enough to really care. My older brother and I lived with Mom in a dingy (dark and dirty 又黑又脏的；昏暗的；肮脏的adjective: squalid, grimy, dim) multi-family house in Detroit. We watched TV every night The background noise of our lives was gunfire and horses' hoofs from "Wagon Train (a long line of wagons and horses, used by people travelling west in N America in the 19th century （19 世纪美国人向西部迁移的）马拉篷车队)" or "Cheyenne (夏安族人a member of a North American Indian people living on the western plains)" , and laughter from " I Love Lucy" or " Mister Ed". After supper, we'd sprawl on Mom's bed and stare for hours at the tube.But one day Mom changed our world forever. She turned off the TV. Our mother had only been able to get through third grade. But she was much brighter and smarter than we boys knew at the time. She had noticed something in the suburban houses she cleaned—books. So she came home one day , snapped off the TV , sat us down and explained that her sons were going to make something of themselves. "You boys are going to read two books every week , " she said. "And you're going to write me a report on what you read. "We moaned and complained about how unfair it was. Besides, we didn't have any books in the house other than Mom's Bible. But she explained that we would go where the books were: "I'd drive you to the library."So pretty soon, there were these two peevish (easily annoyed by unimportant things; bad-tempered 爱生气的；易怒的；脾气坏的adjective: sullen, petulant, morose, testy, crabbed, pettish, fretful, grumpy, querulous) boys sitting in her white 1959 Oldsmobile (2000年通用汽车决定放弃旗下品牌奥斯莫比尔Oldsmobile) on their way to Detroit Public Library. I wandered reluctantly among the children's books.I loved animals, so when I saw some books that seemed to be about animals, I started leafing through (匆匆翻阅；浏览) them.The first book I read clear through was Chip the Dam Builder. It was about beavers (an animal with a wide flat tail and strong teeth.Beavers live in water and onland and can build dams(= barriers across rivers), made of pieces of wood and mud. 河狸；海狸). For the first time in my life I was lost in another world. No television program had ever taken me so far away from my surroundings as did this verbal visit to a cold stream in a forest and these animals building a home.It didn't dawn on ((of an idea) to occur to somebody; to be realized开始（被人）理解，渐渐（使人）明白) me at the time, but the experience was quite different from watching TV. There were images forming in my mind instead of before my eyes. And I could return to them again and again with the flip of a page.Soon I began to look forward to visiting this hushed (of a place 地方quiet because nobody is talking; much quieter than usual 寂静的；宁静的; voices 嗓音speaking very quietly 轻的；低声的) sanctuary (noun: shrine, refuge, asylum, shelter, temple, sanctum) from my other world. I moved from animals to plants, and then to rocks. Between the covers of all those books were whole worlds, and I was free to go anywhere in them. Along the way a funny thing happened I started to know things. Teachers started to notice it too. I got to the point where I couldn't wait to get home to my books.Now my older brother is an engineer and I am chief of pediatric neurosurgery (小儿神经外科) at John Hopkins Children's Center in Baltimore. Sometimes I still can't believe my life's journey, from a failing (below acceptable in performance; "received failing grades") and indifferent (not very good 不很好的；一般的) student in a Detroit public school to this position, which takes me all over the world to teach and perform critical surgery.But I know when the journey began: the day Mom snapped off the TV set and put us in her Oldsmobile for that drive to the library.文章精析：本文是叙述文体裁。

2005年06月大学英语四级(CET-4)真题总分：100分及格：60分考试时间：120分Part II Reading Comprehension(1){TSE}Is there enough oil beneath the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge （保护区）（ANWR）to help secure America’s energy future? President Bush certainly thinks so. He has argued that tapping ANWR’s oil would help ease California’s electricity crisis and provide a major boost to the country’s energy independence. But no one knows for sure how much crude oil lies buried beneath the frozen earth with the last government survey, conducted in 1998, projecting output anywhere from 3 billion to 16 billion barrels.The oil industry goes with the high end of the range, which could equal as much as 10% of U.S. consumption for as long as six years. By pumping more than 1 million barrels a day from the reserve for the next two three decades, lobbyists claim, the nation could cut back on imports equivalent to all shipments to the U.S. from Saudi Arabia. Sounds good. An oil boom would also mean a multibillion-dollar windfall （意外之财）in tax revenues, royalties （开采权使用费）and leasing fees for Alaska and the Federal Government. Best of all, advocates of drilling say, damage to the environment would be insignificant. “We’ve never had a document case of oil rig chasing deer out onto the pack ice.”says Alaska State Representative Scott Ogan.Not so far, say environmentalists. Sticking to the low end of government estimates, the National Resources Defense Council says there may be no more than 3.2 billion barrels of economically recoverable oil in the coastal plain of ANWR, a drop in the bucket that would do virtually nothing to ea se America’s energy problems. And consumers would wait up to a decade to gain any benefits, because drilling could begin only after much bargaining over leases, environmental permits and regulatory review. As for ANWR’s impact on the California power crisis, environmentalists point out that oil is responsible for only 1% of the Golden State’s electricity output—and just 3% of the nation’s.{TS}What does President Bush think of tapping oil in ANWR?A. It will exhaust the nation’s oil reserveB. It will help secure the future of ANWC. It will help reduce the nation’s oil importD. It will increase America’s energy consumptio(2)We learn from the second paragraph that the American oil industry ________.A. believes that drilling for oil in ANWR will produce high yieldsB. tends to exaggerate America’s reliance on foreign oilC. shows little interest in tapping oil in ANWRD. expects to stop oil imports from Saudi Arabia(3)Those against oil drilling in ANWR argue that ________.A. it can cause serious damage to the environmentB. it can do little to solve energy problemsC. it will drain the oil reserves in the Alaskan regionD. it will not have much commercial value(4)What do the environmentalists mean by saying “Not so fast”（Line 1, Para. 3）?A. Oil exploitation takes a long timeB. The oil drilling should be delayedC. Don’t be too optimisticD. Don’t expect fast returns(5)It can be learned from the passage that oil exploitation beneath ANWR’s frozen earth ________.A. remains a controversial issueB. is expected to get under way soonC. involves a lot of technological problemsD. will enable the to be oil independent(6){TSE}“Tear ‘em apart!”“Kill the fool!”“Murder the referee （裁判）!”These are common remarks one may hear at various sporting events. At the time they are made, they may seem innocent enough. But let’s not kid ourselves. They have been known to influence behavior in such a way as to lead to real bloodshed. V olumes have been written about the way words affect us. It has been shown that words having certain connotations （含义）may cause us to react in ways quite foreign to what we consider to be our usual humanistic behavior. I see the term “opponent”as one of those words. Perhaps the time has come to delete it from sports terms. The dictionary meaning of the term “opponent “is “adversary “: “enemy “; “one who opposes your interests.”“Thus, when a player meets an opponent, he or she may tend to treat that opponent as an enemy. At such times, winning may dominate one’s intellect, and every action, no matter how gross, may be considered justifiable. I recall an incident in a handball game when a referee refused a player’s request for a time out for a glove change because he did not considered then wet enough. The player proceeded to rub his gloves across his wet T-shirt and then exclaimed. “Are they wet enough now?”In the heat of battle, players have been observed to throw themselves across the court without considering the consequences that such a move might have on anyone in their way. I have also witnessed a player react ing to his opponent’s international and illegal blocking by deliberately hitting him with the ball as hard as he could during the course of play. Off the court, they are good friends. Does that make any sense? It certainly gives proof of a court attitude which departs from normal behavior.Therefore, I believe it is time we elevated （提升）the game to the level where it belongs thereby setting an example to the rest of the sporting world. Replacing the term “opponent”with “associate”could be an ideal way to start.The dictionary meaning of the term “associate”is “colleague”; “frien d”; “companion.” Reflect a moment! You may soon see and possibly feel the difference in your reaction to the term “associate” rather than “opponent.”{TS}Which of the following statements best expresses the author’s view?A. Aggressive behavior in sports can have serious consequenceB. The words people use can influence their behavioC. Unpleasant words in sports are often used by foreign athleteD. Unfair judgments by referees will lead to violence on the sports fiel(7)Harsh words are spoken during games because the players ________.A. are too eager to winB. are usually short-tempered and easily offendedC. cannot afford to be polite in fierce competitionD. treat their rivals as enemies(8)What did the handball player do when he was not allowed a time out to change his gloves?A. He refused to continue the gamB. He angrily hit the referee with a balC. He claimed that the referee was unfaiD. He wet his gloves by rubbing them across his T-shir(9)According to the passage, players, in a game, may ________.A. deliberately throw the ball at anyone illegally blocking their wayB. keep on screaming and shouting throughout the gameC. lie down on the ground as an act of protestD. kick the ball across the court with force(10)The author hopes to have the current situation in sports improved by ________.A. calling on players to use clean language on the courtB. raising the referee’s sense of responsibilityC. changing the attitude of players on the sports fieldD. regulating the relationship between players and referees(11){TSE}Consumers are being confused and misled by the hodge-podge （大杂烩）of environmental claims made by household products, according to a “green labeling”study published by Consumers International Friday.Among the report’s more outrageous （令人无法容忍的）findings-a German fertilizer described itself as “earthworm friendly”a brand of flour said it was “non-polluting”and a British toilet paper claimed to be “environmentally friendlier”The study was written and researched by Britain’s National Consumer Council （NCC．for lobby group Consumer International. It was funded by the German and Dutch governments and the European Commission.“While many good and useful claims are being made, it is clear there is a long way to go in ensuring shoppers are adequately informed about the environmental impact of products they buy,”said Consumers International director Anna Fielder.The 10-country study surveyed product packaging in Britain, Western Europe, Scandinavia and the United States. It found that products sold in Germany and the United Kingdom made the most environmental claims on average.The report focused on claims made by specific products, such as detergent （洗涤剂）insect sprays and by some garden products. It did not test the claims, but compared them to labeling guidelines set by the International Standards Organization （ISO）in September, 1999.Researchers documented claims of environmental friendliness made by about 2,000 products and found many too vague or too misleading to meet ISO standards.“Many products had specially-designed labels to make them seem environmentally friendly, but in fact many of these symbols mean nothing,”said report researcher Philip Page.“Laundry detergents made the most number of claims with 158. Household cleaners were second with 145 separate claims, while paints were third on our list with 73. The high numbers show how very confusing it must be for consumers to sort the true from the misleading.”he said.The ISO labeling standards ban vague or misleading claims on product packaging, because terms such as “environmentally friendly” and “non-polluting” cannot be verified. “What we are now pushing for is to have multinational corporations meet the standards se t by the ISO.” said Page.{TS}According to the passage, the NCC found it outrageous that ________.A. all the products surveyed claim to meet ISO standardsB. the claims made by products are often unclear or deceivingC. consumers would believe many of the manufactures’ claimD. few products actually prove to be environment friendly(12)As indicated in this passage, with so many good claims, the consumers ________.A. are becoming more cautious about the products they are going to buyB. are still not willing to pay more for products with green labelingC. are becoming more aware of the effects different products have on the environmentD. still do not know the exact impact of different products on the environment(13)A study was carried out by Britain’s NCC to ________.A. find out how many claims made by products fail to meet environmental standardsB. inform the consumers of the environmental impact of the products they buyC. examine claims made by products against ISO standardsD. revise the guidelines set by the International Standards Organization(14)What is one of the consequences caused by the many claims of household products?A. They are likely to lead to serious environmental problemB. Consumers find it difficult to tell the true from the falsC. They could arouse widespread anger among consumeD. Consumers will be tempted to buy products they don’t nee(15)It can be inferred from the passage that the lobby group Consumer International wants to________.A. make product labeling satisfy ISO requirementsB. see all household products meet environmental standardsC. warn consumers of the danger of so-called green productsD. verify the efforts of non-polluting products(16){TSE}Two hours from the tall buildings of Manhattan and Philadelphia live some of the world’s largest black bears. They are in northern Pennsylvania’s Pocono Mountains, a home they share with an abundance of other wildlife.The streams, lakes, meadows （草地）, mountain ridges and forests that make the Poconos an ideal place for black bears have also attracted more people to the region. Open spaces are threatened by plans for housing estates and important habitats （栖息地）are endangered by highway construction. To protect the Poconos natural beauty from irresponsible development, the Nature Conservancy （大自然保护协会）named the area one of America’s “Last Great Places”.Operating out of a century-old schoolhouse in the village of Long Pond, Pennsylvania, the cons ervancy’s bud Cook is working with local people and business leaders to balance economic growth with environmental protection. By forging partnerships with people like Francis Altemose, the Conservancy has been able to protect more than 14,000 acres of environmentally important land in the area.Altemose’s family has farmed in the Pocono area for generations. Two years ago Francis worked with the Conservancy to include his farm in a county farmland protection program. As a result, his family’s land can be protected from development and the Altemoses will be better able to provide a secure financial future for their 7-year-old grandson.Cook attributes the Conservancy’s success in the Poconos to having a local presence and a commitment to working with local residents“The key to protecting these remarkable lands is connecting with the local community,”Cook said. “The people who live there respect the land. They value quiet forests, clear streams and abundant wildlife. They are eager to help with conservation effort.For more information on how you can help the Nature Conservancy protect the Poconos and the world’s other “Last Great Places,”please call 1-888-564 6864 or visit us on the World Wide Web at <A href=""></A>.{TS}The purpose in naming the Poconos as one of A merica’s “Last Great Places” is to ________.A. gain support from the local communityB. protect it from irresponsible developmentC. make it a better home for black bearsD. provide financial security for future generations(17)We learn from the passage that ________.A. the population in the Pocono area is growingB. wildlife in the Pocono area is dying out rapidlyC. the security of the Pocono residents is being threatenedD. farmlands in the Pocono area are shrinking fast(18)What is important in protecting the Poconos according to Cook?A.

Not everyone who picks up a fishing rod or goes out with a gun is a sportsman. The sportsman first of all obeys the fish and game laws, not because he is liable to be punished as a violator, but because he knows that in the main these laws are made for his best interests.The following are some of the things that those who would qualify for membership in the sportsmanship fraternity （圈内人）will do.1. Take no more game than the bag limit provided for by the fish and game laws. The person who comes back from a trip boasting about the large number of fish or game taken is not a sportsman but a game hog （贪得无厌的捕猎者）.2. Observe the unwritten rules of fair play. This means shooting game birds only when thebirds are “on the wing”. For the same reason, do not use a shotgun to shoot a rabbit or s imilar animal while it is sitting or standing still.3. Be careful in removing illegal or undersized fish from the hook. This should be done only after wetting the hands. This is necessary because the body of the fish is covered with a thin, protective film which will stick to your dry hands. If the hands are dry when the fish is handled, the film is torn from the body of the fish. Without the protective film, the fish is more easily attacked by diseases. If you wish to release a fish that is hooked in such a way that it will be impossible to be close to the hook as convenient. In a remarkably short time, the hook will break down and the fish will remain almost unharmed. Fish have been known to feed successfully while hooks were still in their lips.4. Be sure of the identity of your target before you shoot. Many useful and harmless species of wildlife are thoughtlessly killed by the uninformed person who is out with a gun to kill whatever flies within range.(2)A person who goes out fishing with a fishing rod or hunting with a gun is not necessarily ________.(3)What’s the most important thing a true sportsman should bear in mind when he goes fishing or hunting ________.(4)Those who violate the fish and game laws will not be ________ for membership in the sportsmanship fraternity.(5)What are people called when they break the bag limit and boast about their big catch?(6)A true sportsman will not shoot an animal which is not ________.(7)What are people advised to do before they remove illegal or undersized fish from the hook?(8)What should sportsman do to avoid killing rare species of wildlife?答案和解析Part II Reading Comprehension(1) :C(2) :A(3) :B(4) :C(6) :B(7) :D(8) :D(9) :A(10) :C(11) :B(12) :D(13) :C(14) :B(15) :A(16) :B(17) :A(18) :C(19) :D(20) :DPart III V ocabulary (20 minutes)(1) :B(2) :D(3) :C(4) :A(5) :B(6) :C(7) :A(8) :D(9) :A(10) :B(11) :A(12) :C(13) :B(14) :D(15) :D(16) :A(17) :C(18) :D(19) :B(20) :D(21) :A(22) :C(23) :D(24) :B(25) :A(26) :D(27) :A(29) :B(30) :CPart IV Short Answer Questions (15 minutes)(1) :Both of them are in common with sportsmanship(2) : a sportsman(3) :To obey the law.(4) :qualified(5) :A game hog.(6) :moving(7) :To wet their hands.(8) :They should know the identity of the target.。
2005年英语专业四级阅读理解答案及解析
TEXT AIt was 1961 and I was in the fifth grade. My marks in school were miserable and, the thing was, I didn't know enough to really care. My older brother and I lived with Mom in a dingy (dark and dirty 又黑又脏的；昏暗的；肮脏的adjective: squalid, grimy, dim) multi-family house in Detroit. We watched TV every night The background noise of our lives was gunfire and horses' hoofs from "Wagon Train (a long line of wagons and horses, used by people travelling west in N America in the 19th century （19 世纪美国人向西部迁移的）马拉篷车队)" or "Cheyenne (夏安族人a member of a North American Indian people living on the western plains)" , and laughter from " I Love Lucy" or " Mister Ed". After supper, we'd sprawl on Mom's bed and stare for hours at the tube.But one day Mom changed our world forever. She turned off the TV. Our mother had only been able to get through third grade. But she was much brighter and smarter than we boys knew at the time. She had noticed something in the suburban houses she cleaned—books. So she came home one day , snapped off the TV , sat us down and explained that her sons were going to make something of themselves. "You boys are going to read two books every week , " she said. "And you're going to write me a report on what you read. "We moaned and complained about how unfair it was. Besides, we didn't have any books in the house other than Mom's Bible. But she explained that we would go where the books were: "I'd drive you to the library."So pretty soon, there were these two peevish (easily annoyed by unimportant things; bad-tempered 爱生气的；易怒的；脾气坏的adjective: sullen, petulant, morose, testy, crabbed, pettish, fretful, grumpy, querulous) boys sitting in her white 1959 Oldsmobile (2000年通用汽车决定放弃旗下品牌奥斯莫比尔Oldsmobile) on their way to Detroit Public Library. I wandered reluctantly among the children's books.I loved animals, so when I saw some books that seemed to be about animals, I started leafing through (匆匆翻阅；浏览) them.The first book I read clear through was Chip the Dam Builder. It was about beavers (an animal with a wide flat tail and strong teeth.Beavers live in water and onland and can build dams(= barriers across rivers), made of pieces of wood and mud. 河狸；海狸). For the first time in my life I was lost in another world. No television program had ever taken me so far away from my surroundings as did this verbal visit to a cold stream in a forest and these animals building a home.It didn't dawn on ((of an idea) to occur to somebody; to be realized开始（被人）理解，渐渐（使人）明白) me at the time, but the experience was quite different from watching TV. There were images forming in my mind instead of before my eyes. And I could return to them again and again with the flip of a page.Soon I began to look forward to visiting this hushed (of a place 地方quiet because nobody is talking; much quieter than usual 寂静的；宁静的; voices 嗓音speaking very quietly 轻的；低声的) sanctuary (noun: shrine, refuge, asylum, shelter, temple, sanctum) from my other world. I moved from animals to plants, and then to rocks. Between the covers of all those books were whole worlds, and I was free to go anywhere in them. Along the way a funny thing happened I started to know things. Teachers started to notice it too. I got to the point where I couldn't wait to get home to my books.Now my older brother is an engineer and I am chief of pediatric neurosurgery (小儿神经外科) at John Hopkins Children's Center in Baltimore. Sometimes I still can't believe my life's journey, from a failing (below acceptable in performance; "received failing grades") and indifferent (not very good 不很好的；一般的) student in a Detroit public school to this position, which takes me all over the world to teach and perform critical surgery.But I know when the journey began: the day Mom snapped off the TV set and put us in her Oldsmobile for that drive to the library.文章精析：本文是叙述文体裁。

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 11 to 15 are based on the following passage.In a time of low academic achievement by children in the United States, many Americans are turning to Japan, a country of high academic achievement and economic success, for possible answers. However, the answers provided by Japanese preschools are not the ones Americans expected to find. In' most Japanese preschools, surprisingly little emphasis is put onacademic instruction. In one investigation, 300 Japanese and 210 American preschool teachers, child development specialists, and parents were asked about various aspects of early childhood education. Only 2 percent of the Japanese respondents (答问卷者)listed "to give children a good start' academically" as one of their top three reasons for a society to have preschools. In contrast, over half the American respondents chose this as one of their top three choices. To prepare children for success ful careers in first grade and beyond, Japanese schools do not teach reading, writing, and math emetics, but rather skills such as persistence, concentration, and the ability to function as a member of a group. The vast majority of young Japanese children are taught to read at home by their parents.In the recent comparison of Japanese and American preschool education, 91 percent of Japanese respondents chose providing children with a group experience as one of their top three reasons for a society to have preschools. Sixty-two percent of the more individually oriented (强调个性发展的) Americans listed group experience as one of their top three choices. An emphasis on the importance of the group seen in Japanese early childhood education continues into elementary school education.Like in America, there is diversity in Japanese early childhood education. Some Japanese kindergartens have specific aims, such as early musical training or potential development. In large cities, some kindergartens are attached to universities that have elementary and secondary schools.Some Japanese parents believe that if their young children attend a university-based program, it will increase the children's chances of eventually being admitted to top-rated schools and universities. Several more progressive programshave introduced free play as a way out for the heavy intellectualizing in some Japanese kindergartens.11. We learn from the first paragraph that many Americans believeA)Japan's higher education is superior to theirsB) Japan's economic success is a result of its scientific achievementsC) Japanese preschool education emphasizes academic instructionD) Japanese parents are more involved in preschool education than American parents12. Most Americans surveyed believe that preschools should also attach importance toA) parental guidanceB) problem solvingC) group experienceD) individually-oriented development13. In Japan's preschool education, the focus is onA) tapping children's potentialB) shaping children's characterC) preparing children academicallyD) developing children's artistic interests14. Free play has been introduced in some Japanese kindergartens in order toA) enrich children's knowledgeB) cultivate children's creativityC) broaden children's horizonD) lighten children's study load15. Why do some Japanese parents send their children to university:based kindergartens?A) They can do better in their future studies.B) They can be individually oriented when they grow up.C) They can have better chances of getting a first-rate education.D) They can accumulate more group experience there.Passage TWO Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.Exercise is one of the few factors with a positive role in long-term maintenance of body weight.Unfortunately, that message has not gotten through to the average American, who would rather try switching to "light" beer and low-calorie bread than increase physical exertion. The Centers for Disease Control, for example, found that fewer than one-fourth of overweight adults who were trying to shed pounds said they were combining exercise with their diet.In rejecting exercise, some people may be discouraged too much by caloric-expenditure charts;for example, one would have to briskly walk three miles just to work off the 275 calories in one delicious Danish pastry (小甜饼). Even exercise professionals concede half a point here. "Exercise by itself is a very tough way to lose weight," says York Onnen, program director of the President's Council on Physical Fitness and Sports.Still, exercise's supporting role in weight reduction is vital. A study at the Boston University Medical Center of overweight police officers and other public employees confirmed that those who dieted without exercise regained almost all their old weight, while those who worked exercise into their daily routine maintained their new weight.If you have been sedentary (极少活动的) and decide tostart walking one mile a day, the added exercise could burn an extra 100 calories daily. In a year's time, assuming no increase in food intake, you could lose ten pounds. By increasing the distance of your walks gradually and making other dietary adjustments, you may lose even more weight.16. What is said about the average American in the passage?A) They usually ignore the effect of exercise on losing weight.B) They prefer "light" beer and low-calorie bread to other drinks and food.C) They know the factors that play a positive role in keeping down body weight.D) They tend to exaggerate the healthful effect of "light" beer.17. Some people dislike exercise becauseA) they find it hard to exercise while on a dietB) they don't think it possible to walk 3 miles every dayC) they think it is physically exhaustingD) they find consulting caloric-expenditure charts troublesome18. "Even exercise professionals concede half a point here" (Line 3, Para. 2) means "TheyA) are not fully convinced that dieting can help maintain one's new weightB) agree that the calories in a small piece of pastry can be difficult to work off by exerciseC) are not sufficiently informed of the positive role of exercise in losing weightD) partially believe diet plays a supporting role inweight reduction19. What was confirmed by the Boston University Medical Center's study?A) Weight reduction is impossible without exercise.B) Even occasional exercise can help reduce weight.C) Controlling one's calorie intake is more important than doing exercise.D) One could lose ten pounds in a year's time if there's no increase in food intake.20. What is the author's purpose in writing this article?A) To stress the importance of maintaining proper weight.B) To support the statement made by York Onnen.D) To show the most effective way to lose weight.D) To justify the study of the Boston University Medical Center.Passage THREEQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.Scratchy throats, stuffy noses and body aches all spell misery, but being able to tell if the cause is a cold orflu ( ~,~ ) may make a difference in how long the misery lasts.The American Lung Association (ALA) has issued new guidelines on combating colds and the flu(流感), and one of the keys is being able to quickly tell the two apart. That's because the prescription drugs available for the flu need to be taken soon after the illness sets in. As for colds, the sooner aperson starts taking over-the-counter remedy, the sooner relief will come.The common cold and the flu are both caused by viruses. More than 200 viruses can cause cold symptoms, while the flu is caused by three viruses - flu A, B and C. There is no curefor eitherillness, but the flu can be prevented by the flu vaccine ( ~-~ ), which is, for most people, the bestway to fight the flu, according to the ALA.But if the flu does strike, quick action can help. Although the flu and common cold have manysimilarities, there are some obvious signs to look for.Cold symptoms such as stuffy nose, runny nose and scratchy throat typically develop gradually, and adults and teens often do not get a fever. On the other hand, fever is one of the characteristic features of the flu for all ages. And in general, flu symptoms including fever and chills, sore throat and body aches come on suddenly and are more severe than cold symptoms.The ALA notes that it may be particularly difficult to tell when infants and preschool age children have the flu. It advises parents to call the doctor if their small children have flu-like symptoms.Both cold and flu symptoms can be eased with over-the-counter medications as well. However,children and teens with a cold or flu should not take aspirin for pain relief because of the risk of Reye syndrome(综合症) ，a rare but serious condition of the liver and central nervous system.Reye syndrome .There is, of course, no vaccine for the common cold. But frequent hand washing and avoiding close contact with people who have colds can reduce the likelihood of Catching one.21. According to the author, knowing the cause of the misery will helpA) prevent people from catching colds and the fluB) the patient obtain cheaper prescription drugsC) the patient buy medicine over the counterD) shorten the duration of the illness22. We learn from the passage thatA) over-the-counter drugs can be taken to ease the misery caused by a cold or the fluB) one doesn't need to take any medicine if he has a cold or the fluC) aspirin should not be included in over-the-counter medicines for the fluD) delayed treatment of the flu will harm the liver and central nervous system23. According to the passage, to combat the flu effectively,A) one should take medicine upon catching the diseaseB) one should identify the virus which causes itC) one should consult a doctor as soon as possibleD) one should remain alert when the disease is spreading24. Which of the following symptoms will distinguish the flu from a cold?A) A sore throat.B)A stuffy nose.C) A dry cough.D) A high temperature.25. If children have flu-like symptoms, their parentsA) are encouraged to take them to hospital for vaccinationB) are advised not to give them aspirinC) should watch out for signs of Reye syndromeD) should prevent them from mixing with people running a feverPassage FOUR Questions 21 to 25 are based on thefollowing passage.Lead deposits, which accumulated in soil and snow during the 1960's and 70's, were primarily the result of leaded gasoline emissions originating in the United States. In the twenty years that the Clean Air Act has mandated unleaded gas use in the United States, the lead accumulation world-wide has decreased significantly.A study published recently in the journal Nature shows that air-borne leaded gas emissions from the United States were the leading contributor to the high concentration of lead in the snow in Greenland. The new study is a result of the continued research led by Dr. Charles Boutron, an expert on the impact of heavy metals on the environment at the National Center for Scientific Research in France. A study by Dr. Boutron published in 1991 showed that lead levels in arctic(北极的) snow were declining.In his new study, Dr. Boutron found the ratios of the different forms of lead in the leaded gasoline used in the United States were different from the ratios of European, Asian and Canadian gasolines and thus enabled scientists to differentiate ( 分区) the lead sources. The dominant lead ratio found in Greenland snow matched that found in gasoline from the United States.In a study published in the journal Ambio, scientists found that lead levels in soil in the North-eastern United States had decreased markedly since the introduction of unleaded gasoline.Many scientists had believed that the lead would stay in soil and snow for a longer period.The authors of the Ambio study examined samples ofthe upper layers of soil taken from the same sites of 30 forest floors in New England, New York and Pennsylvania in 1980 and in 1990.The forest environment processed and redistributed the lead faster than the scientists had expected.Scientists say both studies demonstrate that certain parts of the ecosystem (生态系统 ) respond rapidly to reductions in atmospheric pollution, but that these findings should not be used as a license to pollute.26. The study published in the journal Nature indicates thatA) lead deposits in arctic snow are on the increaseB) the Clean Air Act has not produced the desired resultsC) the US is the major source of lead pollution in arctic snowD) lead will stay in soil and snow longer than expected27. Lead accumulation worldwide decreased significantly after the use of unleaded gas in the USA) was introducedB) was discouragedC) was prohibited by lawD) was enforced by law28. How did scientists discover the source of lead pollution in Greenland?A) By analyzing the data published in journals like Nature and Ambio.B) By studying the chemical elements of soil and snow in Northeastern America.C) By comparing the chemical compositions of leadedgasoline used in various countries.D) By observing the lead accumulations in different parts of the arctic area.29. The authors of the Ambio study have found thatA) forests get rid of lead pollution faster than expectedB) lead deposits are widely distributed in the forests of the USC) lead accumulations in forests are more difficult to deal withD) the upper layers of soil in forests are easily polluted by lead emissions30. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that scientistsA) lack sufficient means to combat lead pollutionB) still consider lead pollution a problem。

Part II Reading Comprehension (35 minutes) Passage 1 Is there enough oil beneath the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (保护区) (ANWR) to help secure America‟s energy future? President Bush certainly thinks so. He has argued that tapping ANWR‟s oil would help ease California‟s electricity crisis and provide a major boost to the country‟s energy independence. But no one knows for sure how much crude oil lies buried beneath the frozen earth with the last government survey, conducted in 1998, projecting output anywhere from 3 billion to 16 billion barrels. The oil industry goes with the high end of the range, which could equal as much as 10% of U.S. consumption for as long as six years. By pumping more than 1 million barrels a day from the reserve for the next two three decades, lobbyists claim, the nation could cut back on imports equivalent to all shipments to the U.S. from Saudi Arabia. Sounds good. An oil boom would also mean a multibillion-dollar windfall (意外之财) in tax revenues, royalties (开采权使用费) and leasing fees for Alaska and the Federal Government. Best of all, advocates of drilling say, damage to the environment would be insignificant. “We‟ve never had a document case of oil rig chasing deer out onto the pack ice.” says Alaska State Representative Scott Ogan.Not so far, say environmentalists. Sticking to the low end of government estimates, the National Resources Defense Council says there may be no more than 3.2 billion barrels of economically recoverable oil in the coastal plain of ANWR, a drop in the bucket that would do virtually nothing to ease America‟s energy problems. And consumers would wait up to a decade to gain any benefits, because drilling could begin only after much bargaining over impact on the California leases, environmental permits and regulatory review. As for ANWR‟s power crisis, environmentalists point out that oil is responsible for only 1% of the Golden State‟s electricity output—and just 3% of the nation‟s.21. What does President Bush think of tapping oil in ANWR? A) It will exhaust the n ation‟s oil reserves.B) It will help secure the future of ANWR. C) It will help reduce the nation‟s oil imports.D) It will increase America‟s energy consumption.22. We learn from the second paragraph that the American oil industry ________. A) believes that drilling for oil in ANWR will produce high yields B) tends to exaggerate America‟s reliance on foreign oilC) shows little interest in tapping oil in ANWR D) expects to stop oil imports from Saudi Arabia 23. Those against oil drilling in ANWR argue that ________. A) it can cause serious damage to the environment B) it can do little to solve U.S. energy problems C) it will drain the oil reserves in the Alaskan region D) it will not have much commercial value ing “Not so fast” (Line 1, Para. 3)?24. What do the environmentalists mean by sayA) Oil exploitation takes a long time B) The oil drilling should be delayed C) Don‟t be too optimisticD) Don‟t expect fast returnsh 25. It can be learned from the passage that oil exploitation beneath ANWR‟s frozen eart________. A) remains a controversial issue B) is expected to get under way soon C) involves a lot of technological problems D) will enable the U.S. to be oil independent Passage 2 “Tear …em apart!” “Kill the fool!” “Murder the referee (裁判)!”These are common remarks one may hear at various sporting events. At the time they are made, they may seem innocent enough. But let‟s not kid ourselves. They have been known to influence behavior in such a way as to lead to real bloodshed. Volumes have been written about the way words affect us. It has been shown that words having certain connotations (含义) may cause us to react in ways quite foreign to what we consider to be our usual humanistic e has come to behavior. I see the term “opponent” as one of those words. Perhaps the timdelete it from sports terms. The dictionary meaning of the term “opponent “is “adversary “: “enemy “; “one who opposes your interests.” “Thus, when a player meets an opponent, he or she may tend to treat that es, winning may dominate one‟s intellect, and every action, opponent as an enemy. At such timno matter how gross, may be considered justifiable. I recall an incident in a handball game when a referee refused a player‟s request for a time out for a glove change because he did not considered then wet enough. The player proceeded to rub his gloves across his wet T-shirt and then exclaimed. “Are they wet enough now?”In the heat of battle, players have been observed to throw themselves across the court without considering the consequences that such a move might have on anyone in their way. I have also witnessed a player reacting to his opponent‟s international and illegal blocking by deliberately hitting him with the ball as hard as he could during the course of play. Off the court, they are good friends. Does that make any sense? It certainly gives proof of a court attitude which departs from normal behavior. Therefore, I believe it is time we elevated (提升) the game to the level where it belongs thereby setting an example to the rest of the sporting world. Replacing the term “opponent” with “associate” could be an ideal way to start.The dictionary meaning of the term “associate” is “colleague”; “friend”; “companion.” Reflect a moment! You may soon see and possibly feel the difference in your reaction to the term “associate” rather than “opponent.”26. Which of the following statements best expresses the author‟s view?A) Aggressive behavior in sports can have serious consequences. B) The words people use can influence their behavior. C) Unpleasant words in sports are often used by foreign athletes. D) Unfair judgments by referees will lead to violence on the sports field. 27. Harsh words are spoken during games because the players ________. A) are too eager to win B) are usually short-tempered and easily offended C) cannot afford to be polite in fierce competition D) treat their rivals as enemies 28. What did the handball player do when he was not allowed a time out to change his gloves? A) He refused to continue the game. B) He angrily hit the referee with a ball. C) He claimed that the referee was unfair. D) He wet his gloves by rubbing them across his T-shirt. 29. According to the passage, players, in a game, may ________. A) deliberately throw the ball at anyone illegally blocking their way B) keep on screaming and shouting throughout the game C) lie down on the ground as an act of protest D) kick the ball across the court with force 30. The author hopes to have the current situation in sports improved by ________. A) calling on players to use clean language on the court B) raising the referee‟s sense of responsibilityC) changing the attitude of players on the sports field D) regulating the relationship between players and referees Passage 3 Consumers are being confused and misled by the hodge-podge (大杂烩) of environmental claims made by household products, according to a “green labeling” study published by Consumers International Friday. Among the report‟s more outrageous (令人无法容忍的) findings-a German fertilizer described itself as “earthworm friendly” a brand of flour said it was “non -polluting” and a British toilet paper claimed to be “environmentally friendlier”The study was written and researched by Britain‟s National Consumer Council (NCC) for lobby group Consumer International. It was funded by the German and Dutch governments and the European Commission. “ While many good and useful claims are being made, it is clear there is a long way to go in ensuring shoppers are adequately informed about the environmental impact of products they buy,” sa buy,” said Consumers International director Anna Fielder. id Consumers International director Anna Fielder. The 10-country study surveyed product packaging in Britain, Western Europe, Scandinavia and the United States. It found that products sold in Germany and the United Kingdom made the most environmental claims on average. The report focused on claims made by specific products, such as detergent (洗涤剂) insect sprays and by some garden products. It did not test the claims, but compared them to labeling guidelines set by the International Standards Organization (ISO) in September, 1999. Researchers documented claims of environmental friendliness made by about 2,000 products and found many too vague or too misleading to meet ISO standards. “Many products had specially -designed labels to make them seem environmentally friendly, -designed labels to make them seem environmentally friendly, but in fact many of these symbols mean nothing,” said report researcher Philip Page.“Laundry detergents made the most number of claims with 158. Household cleaners were second with 145 separate claims, while paints were third on our list with 73. The high numbers show how very confusing it must be for consumers to sort the true from the misleading.” he said. The ISO labeling standards ban vague or misleading claims on product packaging, because terms such as “environmentally friendly” and “non -polluting” cannot be verified. “What we are now pushing for is to have multinational corporations meet the standards set by the ISO.” said Page. 31. According to the passage, the NCC found it outrageous that ________. A) all the products surveyed claim to meet ISO standards B) the claims made by products are often unclear or deceiving C) consumers would believe many of the manufactures‟ claimD) few products actually prove to be environment friendly 32. As indicated in this passage, with so many good claims, the consumers ________. A) are becoming more cautious about the products they are going to buy B) are still not willing to pay more for products with green labeling C) are becoming more aware of the effects different products have on the environment D) still do not know the exact impact of different products on the environment 33. A study was carried out by Britain‟s NCC to ________.A) find out how many claims made by products fail to meet environmental standards B) inform the consumers of the environmental impact of the products they buy C) examine claims made by products against ISO standards D) revise the guidelines set by the International Standards Organization 34. What is one of the consequences caused by the many claims of household products? A) They are likely to lead to serious environmental problems. B) Consumers find it difficult to tell the true from the false. C) They could arouse widespread anger among consumer. D) Consumers will be tempted to buy products they don‟t need.35. It can be inferred from the passage that the lobby group Consumer International wants to ________. A) make product labeling satisfy ISO requirements B) see all household products meet environmental standards C) warn consumers of the danger of so-called green products D) verify the efforts of non-polluting products Passage 4 Two hours from the tall buildings of Manhattan and Philadelphia live some of the world‟s largest black bears. They are in northern Pennsylvania‟s Pocono Mountains, a home they share with an abundance of other wildlife. The streams, lakes, meadows (草地), mountain ridges and forests that make the Poconos an ideal place for black bears have also attracted more people to the region. Open spaces are threatened by plans for housing estates and important habitats (栖息地) are endangered by highway construction. To protect the Poconos natural beauty from irresponsible development, the Nature Conservancy (大自然保护协会) named the area one of America‟s “Last Great Places”.Operating out of a century-old schoolhouse in the village of Long Pond, Pennsylvania, the conservancy‟s bud Cook is working with local people and business leaders to balance economic growth with environmental protection. By forging partnerships with people like Francis Altemose, the Conservancy has been able to protect more than 14,000 acres of environmentally important land in the area. Altemose‟s family has farmed in the Pocono area for generations. Two years ago Francis worked with the Conservancy to include his farm in a county farmland protection program. As a result, his family‟s land can be protected from development and the Altemoses will be better able to provide a secure financial future for their 7-year-old grandson. ce and a Cook attributes the Conservancy‟s success in the Poconos to having a local presen commitment to working with local residents “The key to protecting these remarkable lands is connecting with the local community,” Cook said. “The people who live there respect the land. They value quiet forests, clear streams and abundant wildlife. They are eager to help with conservation effort.

A) but B) although C) unless D) lest Part IV Short Answer Questions (15 minutes) We commonly think of sportsmanship in connection with athletic contests, but it also applies to individual outdoor sports. Not everyone who picks up a fishing rod or goes out with a gun is a sportsman. The sportsman first of all obeys the fish and game laws, not because he is liable to be punished as a violator, but because he knows that in the main these laws are made for his best interests. The following are some of the things that those who would qualify for membership in the sportsmanship fraternity (圈内人圈内人) will do. 1. Take no more game than the bag limit provided for by the fish and game laws. The person who comes back from a trip boasting about the large number of fish or game taken is not a sportsman but a game hog (贪得无厌的捕猎者). 2. Observe the unwritten rules of fair play. This means shooting game birds only when the birds are “on the wing”. For the same reason, do not use a shotgun to shoot a rabbit or similar animal while it is sitting or standing still. 3. Be careful in removing illegal or undersized fish from the hook. This should be done only after wetting the hands. This is necessary because the body of the fish is covered with a thin, protective film which will stick to your dry hands. If the hands are dry when the fish is handled, the film is torn from the body of the fish. Without the protective film, the fish is more easily attacked by diseases. If you wish to release a fish that is hooked in such a way that it will be impossible to be close to the hook as convenient. In a remarkably short time, the hook will break down and the fish will remain almost unharmed. Fish have been known to feed successfully while hooks were still in their lips. 4. Be sure of the identity of your target before you shoot. Many useful and harmless species of wildlife are thoughtlessly killed by the uninformed person who is out with a gun to kill whatever flies within range. S1. In what respect does the author think individual outdoor sports are similar to athletic contests? S2. A person who goes out fishing with a fishing rod or hunting with a gun is not necessarily ________. S3. What‟s the most important thing a true sportsman should bear in mind when he goes fishing or hunting ________. S4. Those who violate the fish and game laws will not be ________ for membership in the sportsmanship fraternity. S5. What are people called when they break the bag limit and boast about their big catch? S6. A true sportsman will not shoot an animal which is not ________. S7. What are people advised to do before they remove illegal or undersized fish from the hook? S8. What should sportsman do to avoid killing rare species of wildlife?

All this makes it difficult to decide exactly how much the tax is.There was a certain artist who was always very careful to pay the proper amount.One year, after posting his check as usual, he began to wonder if he had paid enough, and after a lot of work, with a pencil and paper, decided that he had not. He believed that he owed the government something.He was just writing another check to send to the tax-collector when the postman dropped a letter into the box at the front door. Opening it, the artist was surprised to find inside it a check for five pounds from the tax-collector. The official explained that too much had been paid, and that therefore the difference was now returned to the taxpayer.41.
