Invariably a few hands would go up.“What did you learn in that course?” I’d ask.“Well, the main th ing was learning how to face an audience ... not to be inhibited( 拘谨 )... not to be nervousExactly, when you take a course in public speaking nowadays, you don’ t hear much about grammar and vocabulary. Instead, you’ re taught how not to be afraid or embarrassed, how to speak without a prepared script, how to read out to the live audience before you. Public speaking is a matter of overcoming your long-standing nervous inhibitions.The same is true of writing. The point of the whole thing is to overcome your nervous inhibitions, to break through the invisible barrier that separates you from the person who’ ll read what youwrote. You must learn to sit in front of your typewriter or dictating machine and read out to the person at the other end of the line.Of course, in public speaking, with the audience right in front of you, the problem is easier. You can look at them and talk to them directly. In writing, you’ re alone. It needs an effort of your experience or imagination to take hold of that other person and talk to him or her. But that effort is necessary -- or at least it’ s necessary until you’ve reached the point when you quite naturally and unconsciously “talk on paper(1). The topic of the passage is ________A. how to be a good writerB. how to be a good speakerC. how to express yourself with your wordsD. how to get rid of nervousness in public speaking(2). The public speech course mainly teaches students ______A. how to make an attractive speech using perfect grammar and vocabularyB. how to express themselves exactly and vividlyC. how to collect data needed and organize itD. how to get over their nervousness when making a speech(3). The similarity between making a public speech and writing isthat _______A. you have to do a lot of preparation work beforehandB. you should get over your nervous inhibitionsC. you should know grammar and vocabulary well to accomplish themD. both of them have audience(4). In the opinion of the author, public speaking is much easier than writing because _______A. public speaking requires less effort than writingB. it’ s unnecessary for you to write a lot for speech and you can say anything as you likeC. you face the audience directly in public speaking; while writingis otherwiseD. in public speaking, the audience have to listen to you whether they like it or not(5). The author of this passage probably is a ________A. bossB. politicianC. writerD. professor2."The pen is more powerful than the sword (剑)." There have been many writers who used their pens to fight things that were wrong. Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe was one of them.She was born in the USA in 1811. One of her books not only made her famous but has been described as one that excited the world, and was helpful in causing a civil war and freezing the slaves. The civil warwas the American Civil War of 1861, in which the Northern States fought the Southern States and finally won.This book was named "Uncle Tom''''s Cabin". There was time when every English-speaking man, woman, and child has read this novel that did so much to stop slavery. Not many people read it today, but it isstill very interesting. The book has shown us how a warm-hearted writer can arouse (唤起) people''''s sympathies (同情). The writer herself had neither been to the Southern States nor been a slave. The Southern Americans were very angry at the novel, which they said did not at all represent (代表) true state of affairs, but the Northern Americans were wildly excited over it and were so inspired (激励) by it that they-were ready to go to war to set the slaves free.(1). According to the passage ( ).A. every English-speaking person had read "Uncle Tom''s Cabin"B. "Uncle Tom''s Cabin" was not very interestingC. those who don''t speak English can not have read "Uncle Tom''s Cabin"D. the book "Uncle Tom''s Cabin" did a great deal in the American Civil War(2).

What do you learn about Mrs. Stowe from the passage? ( )A. AShe had been living in the north of America before the American Civil War.B. She herself encouraged the northern Americans to go to war and set the slaves free.C. She was better as writing as using a sword.D. She had once been a slave.(4). Why could Mrs. Stowe''s book cause a civil war in America? ( )A. She wrote so well that Americans loved her very much.B. She disclosed (揭露) the terrible wrongs that had been done to the slaves in the Southern States.C. The Southern Americans hated the book while the Northern Americans like it.D. The book had been read by many Americans.(5). What can we learn from the passage? ( )A. We needn''t use weapons (武器) to fight things that are wrong.B. writer is more helpful in a war than a soldier.C. We must understand the importance of literature and art.D. No war can be won without such a book as "Uncle Tom''s Cabin".3. The ordinary raindrop is a mighty earth mover with sufficient strength to cut rock. When rainwater collects on the surface of the ground, some of it evaporates and some of it sinks into the earth.The remainder begins to flow downhill, commencing its lengthy journey form brook to stream to lake, or to a river that will carry it to the sea.As water flows along the ground, it picks up sand, pebbles, even boulders. It uses them to gnaw at the sides and bottom of its channel, gradually loosening more earth.By this process enormous amounts of mud and rock are moved from the land to the sea. Each year the Mississippi River carries 730 million tons of solid matter into the Gulf of Mexico.This constant hauling of land into the sea is lowering the United States’ average height above sea level at a rate of about one foot every 9000 years. If erosion continues at the same rate, the United States will be worn completely down to sea level in about 23 million years.(1). Flowing water gradually makes its channel ______.A. narrowerB. deeperC. widerD. both B and C(2). The average height of the United States above sea level ___.A. is being raised each yearB. remains constantC. will reach sea level in 9000 yearsD. is being lowered little by little(3). Erosion by water results in _______.A. wearing down the soilB. building up landC. enriching the soilD. both B and C(4). Implied but not stated: ________A. Millions of years ago the United States was higher than it is nowB. Great amounts of land are moved to the sea by riversC. The water that sinks into the earth also reaches the oceanD. The Gulf of Mexico will be filled up in about 23 million years(5). The best title for this selection is ________.A. How Water Destroys MountainsB. How Rivers Help UsC. The Average Height of the United StatesD. The Mighty Raindrop4. It is a great truth because once we truly understand and accept it. Then life is no longer difficult. Most people do not fully see this truth. Instead they complain about their problems and difficulties as if life should be easy. It seems to them that difficulties represent ( 代表 ) a special kind of suffering especially forced upon them or else upon their families, their class, or even their nation.What makes life difficult is the process of facing and solving problems and it is a painful one. Problems, depending on their nature, cause us sadness or, loneliness or regret or anger of fear. These are uncomfortable feelings, often as painful as any kind of physical pain. And since life causes an endless series of problems, life is always difficult and is full of pain as well as joy.Yet, it is in this whole process of solving problems that life has its meaning. Problems are the serious test that tells us success from failure. When we desire to encourage the growth of human spirit, we encourage the human ability to solve problems, just as in school we set problems for our children to solve. It is through the pain of meeting and working out problems that we learn. As Benjamin Franklin said, "Those things that hurt, instruct." It is for this reason that wise people learn not to fear but to welcome the pain of problems.(1). From the passage, it can be inferred that ( ).A. everybody has problemsB. we become stronger by meeting and solving the problems of lifeC. life is difficult because our problems bring us painD. people like to complain about their problems(2). The writer probably used one short sentence in the first paragraph to ( ).A. save spaceB. persuade readersC. make readers laughD. get readers'' attention(3). The main idea of paragraph three is that ( ).A. most people feel life is easyB. the writer feels life is easyC. the writer likes to complain about his problemsD. Problem solving is part of life(4). According to the passage, we give school children difficult problems to solve in order to ( ).A. encourage them to learnB. teach them to fear the pain of solving the problemC. help them learn to deal with painD. teach them how to respect from problems(5). The saying from Benjamin Franklin "Those things that hurt, instruct" suggest that ( ).A. we do not learn from experienceB. we do not learn when we are painC. pain teaches us important lessonsD. pain cannot be avoid答案：一、单项选择题（60分，共 60 题，每小题 1 分）1.

It was still too early for me to have my evening meal, so I walked along the seafront (滨海马路) for about an hour until I began to feel hungry. By that time I was not far from a favorite restaurant of mine, where I often went to eat two or three times a week. I knew the owner well and frequently complimented (赞美, 恭维) him on his excellent cooking.I went into the restaurant, which was already crowded, and ordered my meal. While I was waiting for the soup to arrive, I looked around to see if I knew anyone in the restaurant. It was then that I noticed that a man sitting at a corner table near the door kept glancing in my direction, as if he knew me, I certainly did not know him, for I never forgot a face. The man had a newspaper open in front of him, which he was pretending to read, though all the while I could see that he was keeping an eye on me. When the waiter brought my soup, the man was clearly puzzled by the familiar way in which the waiter and I addressed each other. He became even more puzzled as time went on and it grew more and more obvious that I was well known in the restaurant. Eventually he got up and went into the kitchen. After a few minutes he came out again, paid his bill and left without another glance in my direction.When I had finished and was about to pay my bill, I called the owner of the restaurant overand asked him what the man had wanted. The owner was a little embarrassed by my question and at first did not want to tell me. I insisted. “Well,” he said, “that man was a detective.” “Really?” I said, considerably surprised. “He followed you here because he thought you were a man he was looking for,” the owner of the restaurant said. “When he came into the kitchen, he showed me a photograph of the wanted man. He certainly looked like you!

Man young British doctors drink too much and use cannabis and other illegal drugs, according to a survey released last week.The poll of 14 junior doctors in northeastern England, published in a letter in The Lancet medical journal, showed that more than 60 per cent drank more alcohol than the recommended safe limits.Over 35 per cent of male doctors and 19 per cent of female physicians also admitted using cannabis and up to 13 per cent also took other drugs.“The current drinking habits, illegal drug use, and stress in some junior doctors is of concern,not only for their own well being, but also how they affect patients’ care,” said Dr. Farhad Kam all of the University of Newcastle, who conducted the study.The British Medical Association (BMA) said the findings were consistent with its own research into the habits of the junior doctors.The survey was released a day after Dr. Patrick Dixon, a British AIDS expert and author, called for random testing of doctors for alcohol and drug abuse.EXxon, the author of The Truth about Drugs, said that the problem, posed a significant threat to the public health because patients’ lives were being put at risk.“With around 10 per cent of all doctors either intoxicated(沉醉)or withdrawing (from drugs or alcohol) we are faced with the fact that significant numbers of doctors have impaired judgment because of addiction,” Dixon said in a telephone interview.He claimed that more than 1,000 addicted doctors in London were addicts but he said their colleagues were reluctant to identify them because of fear of retribution (报复).“Our estimate is that up to 10 percent of doctors may have a drug or alcohol problem at some time in their working lives,” a BMA spokeswoman said.36. From the first paragraph, we can know ________________.A) it is quite fashionable to take cannabis in BritainB) taking cannabis is against the law in BritainC) cannabis is something delicious to eatD) there is no limit to the use of cannabis37.

The word “impaired” (Para. 8) means ____________.A) irresponsible B) weakened C) false D) paired up40. The colleagues of the addicted doctors were unwilling to identify them because they_____________.A) did not want to lose friendshipB) lacked self-confidenceC) didn’t want to get punishedD) didn’t’ t want the addicted doctors to be punishedC. One of the most daring deep-space missions NASA has ever launched is turning out to be one of the least publicized. The target is a large asteroid (小行星) named 1992KD, which orbits the sun millions of miles from Earth. But that destination is almost incidental to the performance of the spacecraft that will make the trip. Though it looks little different from countless other unmanned probes NASA has launched, the ship will be navigated by an electronic brain that has been likened to HAL, the independent-minded computer in the film 2001, and will move through space under power of a system that has long been the stuff of technological fantasies: an ionpropulsion (离子推进) engine.If all goes as planned, Deep Space 1, scheduled for launch later this month, will be the forerunner of a new’ generation of spacecraft. While flight planners hope the ship will make some interesting observations about the target asteroid, including its composition and the structure of its surface, DS1 ‘s primary assignment is to validate a host of new technologies NASA has always considered too risky to try on a mission that may attract a great deal of public attention. Says Mar Rayman of Jet Propulsion Laboratory, DS1’ s chief engineer, “We have an unproven propulsion system, powered by an unproven solar panel, commanded by an unproven navigation system.What is most remarkable about the spacecraft is how it gets from place to place. After being launched by an ordinary rocket, DS1 will be pushed through space by an engine that works by firing electrons into atoms of xenon gas, stripping each of an electron and giving the atoms an electric charge-ionizing them. The ions are then accelerated through an electric field and emitted from the thrusters at 65,000 m. p. h. Despite that speed, the particles produce little thrust, comparable to the weight of a piece of paper.41. What is special about NASA’s planned deep-space mission regarding its publicity?A) It is targeted at a large asteroid.B) It is much less reported by the media.C) It is the same as other unmanned probes.D) It isn’t certain whether it will be successful.42. What is the primary, purpose of the DS1 mission?A) Testing new technologies for future spacecraft.B) Calculating risks for the benefit of other missions.C) Studying the surface of a large asteroid.D) Proving a new generation of spacecraft.43. Once launched, whether the spacecraft will reach its destination is incidental to theperformance of all the following EXCEPT ___________.A) the self-navigation system B) the ion-powered engineC) the solar cells D) the flight planners44. How does the DS1 leave the earth’s orbit?A) By its special propulsion engine.B) By a conventional rocket engine.C) By firing electrons into the atoms of xenon gas.D) By accelerating through an electric field.45. Which of the following is NOT true according to this article?A) The author likens the DS1’s navigation system to an electronic brain.B) The DS1 is the first of a new breed of spacecraft.C) The DS1 chief engineer has nothing to lose in such a mission.D) The DS1’s power system used to be the dream of scientists.D. Most young people enjoy some forms of physical activity. It may be walking, cycling or swimming, or in winter skating or skiing. It may be a game of some kind-foot-ball, hockey, golf, or tennis. It may be mountaineering(登山).Those who have a passion for climbing high and difficult mountains are often looked uponwith astonishment. Why are men and women willing to suffer cold and hardship, and to take risks on high mountains? This astonishment is caused probably by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activity to which men give their leisure.Mountaineering is a sport and not a game. There are no man made rules, as there are for such games as golf and football. There are, of course, rules of a different kind which it would be dangerous to ignore, but it is this freedom from man-made rules that makes mountaineering attractive to many people. Those who climb mountains are free to use their own methods.If we compare mountaineering and other more familiar sports, we might think that one big difference is that mountaineering is not a “team game”. We should be mistaken in this. There are, it is true, no “matches” between “teams” of climbers, but when climbers are on a rock face linked by a rope on which their lives may depend, there is obviously teamwork.The mountain climber knows that he may have to fight forces that are stronger and are powerful than man. He has to fight the forces of nature. His sport requires high mental and physical qualities.A mountain climber continues to improve in skill year after year. A skier if probably past his best by the age of thirty, and most international tennis champions are in their early twenties. But it is not unusual for a man of fifty or sixty to climb the highest mountains in the Alps. They may take more time that younger men, but they probably climb with more skill and less waste of effort, and they certainly experience equal enjoyment.46. Mountaineering involves everything EXCEPT ______________.A) cold B) hardship C) risk D) astonishment47. The difference between a sport and a game has to do with the kind of __________.A) activity B) rules C) uniform D) participants48. Mountaineering can be called a team sport because _________.A) it is an Olympic eventB) teams compete against each otherC) mountaineers depend on each other while climbingD) there are 5 climbers on each team49. Mountaineers compete against __________.A) nature B) each other C) other teams D) international standards50. The best title for the passage is ___________.A) Mountaineering Is Different from Golf and FootballB) Mountaineering Is More Attractive than Other SportsC) MountaineeringD) Mountain ClimbersE. Faces, like fingerprints, are unique. Did you ever wonder how it is possible for us to recognize people? Even a skilled writer probably could not describe all the features that make one face different from another. Yet a very young child-or even an animal, such as a pigeon-can learn to recognize faces, we all take this ability for granted.We also tell people apart by how they behave. When we talk about someone’s personality, we mean the ways in which he or she acts, speaks, thinks and feels that make that individual different from other.Like the human face, human personality is very complex. But describing someone’s personality in words is somewhat easier than describing his face. If you were asked to describe what a “nice face” looked like, you probably would have a difficult time doing so.But if you were asked to describe a “nice person”, you might begin to think about someone who was kind, considerate, friendly, warm, and so forth.There are many words to describe how a person thinks, feels and acts. Fordin Allport, an American psychologist, found nearly 18,000 English words charactering differences in people’s behavior. And many of us use this information as a basis for describing, or typing, his personality. Bookworms, conservatives, military types-people are described with such terms.People have always tried to “type” each other. Actors in early Greek drama wore masks to show the audience whether they played the villains or the hero’s role. In fact, the words “person” and “personality” come from the Latin persona, meaning “mask”. Today most television and movie actors do not wear masks. But we easily tell the “good guys” from the “bad guys” because the two types differ in appearance as well as in actions.51. By using the simile (直喻) of fingerprints, the author tells us that _____.A) people differ from each other in facial featuresB) people have difficulty in describing the features of fingerprintsC) people have different personalitiesD) people can learn to recognize faces52. According to this passage, some animals have the gift of _____.A) typing each otherB) telling people apart by how they behaveC) recognizing human facesD) telling good people from bad people53. Who most probably knows best hw to describe people’s personality?A) Psychologists. B) The modern TV audience.C) The ancient Greek audience D) The movie star.54. According to the passage, it is possible for us to tell one type of person form another because_____.A) human faces have complex featuresB) people differ in their behavioral and physical characteristicsC) human fingerprints provide unique informationD) people’s behavior can be easily described in words55. Which of the following is the major point of the passage?A) How to get to know people.B) Why it is necessary to identify people’s personality.C) Hoe best to recognize people.D) Why it is possible to describe people.三、完形填空(每题20分，共1题)Directions: There are 20 blanks in the following passage.

(阅读理解题)The comfort zone is our living, work, and social environments that we have grown accustomed to. It determines the type of friends we make or people we associate with. It determines a life style we accept or reject.Young people are very adaptable; they can adjust to changing comfort zones with ease. They can socialize with homeless people in the morning and be equally at ease at a formal banquet in the evening. As we age, the ability to adapt towide-ranging comfort zones becomes more difficult. Social prejudice narrows the comfort zone range. The comfort zone can be a decision making tool.Comfort zones are directly related to our dreams or goals, which is associated with self-fulfilling prophecy(预言). In order to grow and change, we must first be discontent with our current comfort zone. We must realize that all meaningful and lasting changes occur first in daydreaming and then they work their way into reality. The more clearly and vividly we fantasize our dream, the stronger and more real the pictures on the subconscious level will become. Once our subconscious accepts thisimage and its expectation, it will go to work, searching for a way to bring it into reality. If we feel that these things are too good for us, we will find ways to fail. If, however, we intentionally imagine the change we want, build an expectation of the change mentally and emotionally, and we will find ways to acquire dream and, when mentally ready, it will arrive faster than we ever thought possible.For some people, problems, suffering, poverty, bad breaks are their comfort zone. They find comfort in finding fault and complaining about their misfortune. The same is true for businesses. Management and workers have grown used to seeing things go wrong and expect them too. Management finds comfort in finding fault with workers and workers and vice versa.Note: If the comfort zone we are seeking is beyond our current income, then, we need to develop a service that has greater value than our current one. Money, power and influence are not goals; they are rewards ONLY for personal achievement.(1). (单选题) As one grows older, ______.

(阅读理解题)Shyness is the cause of much unhappiness for a great many people. Shy people are anxious and self-conscious; that is, they are excessively concerned with their own appearance and actions. Worrisome thoughts are constantly occurring in their minds: What kind of impression am I making? Do they like me? Do I sound stupid? Am I wearing unattractive clothes?It is obvious that such uncomfortable feeling must negatively affect people. A person’s conception of himself o r herself is reflected in the way he or she behaves, and the way a person behaves affects other people’s reactions. In general, the way people think about themselves has a profound effect on all areas of their lives.Shy people, having low self-esteem, are likely to be passive and easily influenced by others. They need reassurance that they are doing “the right thing.” Shy people are very sensitive to criticism: they feel it confirms their feelings of inferiority. They also find it difficult to be pleased by compliment with a statement like this one: “You’re just saying that to make me feel good. I know it’s not true.” It is clear that, while self-awareness is a healthy quality, overdoing it is harmful.Can shyness be completely eliminated, or at least reduced? Fortunately, people can overcome shyness with determined and patient efforts in buildingself-confidence. Since shyness goes hand in hand with a lack of self-esteem, it is important for people to accept their weakness as well as their strengths.Each one of us is a unique, worthwhile individual, interested in our own personal ways. The better we understand ourselves, the easier it becomes to live up to our full potential. Let’s not allow shyness to block our chances for a rich and fulfilling life.(1). (单选题) What does the author try to prove by citing “what kind of impression am I making?” in Para.1?(本题3.0分)A、Shy people benefit from their caring about their appearance.B、People’s shyness made them care too much about their appearance and actions.C、It’s natural that shy people don’t believe other’s compliments.D、Shy people think they are different from others.学生答案： B解析：得分： 3(2). (单选题) According to the writer, too much self-awareness is _______. (本题3.0分)A、 a weak pointy of shy peopleB、the cause of unhappinessC、 harmful to peopleD、a good quality学生答案： C标准答案：C解析：得分： 3(3). (单选题)That shy people react to a compliment in such a way is ________.(本题3.0分)A、goodB、unrealC、harmfulD、very reasonable学生答案： B解析：得分： 0(4).

(单选题) It can be inferred from the passage that shypeople_________.(本题3.0分)A、should find more of their weaknessB、can get rid of their shyness while maintaining low self-esteemC、had better ignore their weaknessD、should understand themselves in the right way标准答案：D19.

Recently, however, there has been a renewed interest in holistic medicine. The term “holistic” refers to treating the whole person, including the physical, emotional, mental, andspiritual aspects.Holistic medicine has many benefits. For example, it can help prevent illnesses from developing in the first place. By promoting healthy habits and behaviors, such as eating a balanced diet, getting enough sleep, and managing stress, holistic medicine can help keep a person healthy and prevent them from getting sick.Another benefit of holistic medicine is that it focuses on treating the root cause of an illness, rather than just the symptoms. For example,traditional medicine might prescribe medication to relieve pain, but this does not necessarily solve the underlying problem. In contrast, holistic healers try to understand why the person is experiencing pain in the first place and help address the root cause of the problem.In addition, holistic medicine often takes a more personalized approach to treatment. The practitioner takes into account the patient’s unique needs, preferences, and circumstances when developing a treatment plan. This can lead to more effective treatment outcomes because the patient is more likelyto be invested in their own health.Finally, holistic medicine often incorporates a variety of healing methods, such as acupuncture, massage, meditation, and yoga. These treatments can help reduce stress and promote relaxation, which can in turn improve overall health and well-being.51. Holistic medicine is focused on treating the entire person, rather than just the physical aspects.52. Traditional medicine may only treat symptoms, not underlying causes.53. Holistic medicine can help prevent disease.54. Holistic medicine takes a more personalized approach to treatment.55. A variety of healing methods are used in holistic medicine.Paragraph 1: 51.Paragraph 2: 53.Paragraph 3: 52.Paragraph 4: 54.Paragraph 5: 55.Section CDirections: There are 2 passages in this section. 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 onAnswer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.Passage OneThe Role of Music in Our LivesMusic plays an integral role in our lives. It is a form of art that touches the soul in a way that other art forms cannot match. It has the uniqueability to communicate emotions and feelings that are difficult to express in words.So, why is music so important to us? Well,for one thing, it has been with us for as long as we have been human. Archaeologists have found evidence of musical instruments from over 40,000 years ago, and it is likely that music has been a part of human culture for even longer.Another reason music is so important is that it is an universal language. Different cultures and peoples all over the world use music to express emotions and connect with each other. Even if people do not share a common language, they can still connect and bond over music.Music is also important because it can evoke strong emotions in people. Listening to music can calm you down when you are feeling anxious or stressed. Alternatively, it can make you feel energized and motivated when you need to get things done.Finally, music is important because it helpsus form our identities. The music we listen to says a lot about who we are and what we value. It can bring people together who share similar interests and tastes in music.Music has been a part of human culture for thousands of years and it is likely that it will continue to be an integral part of our lives for thousands more.56.

It can communicate difficult emotions and feelings.59. C. By forming a sense of community60. B. The role of music in human culturePassage TwoThe Importance of SleepMost adults need between seven and nine hours of sleep each night to function at their best. Unfortunately, many people are not getting enough sleep, which can have serious consequences for their overall health and well-being.One reason for this is the increasing use of electronic devices in the bedroom. The blue light emitted by cell phones, computers, and tablets caninterfere with the body’s production of melatonin, which is a hormone that helps regulate sleep. This can make it difficult to fall asleep and stay asleep throughout the night.Another reason people may be getting less sleep is that they are not making it a priority intheir lives. Many people try to cram too much intotheir waking hours, leaving little time for sleep.This can lead to chronic sleep deprivation, which can cause a range of health problems, including obesity, diabetes, and heart disease.In addition, some people may have disorders that prevent them from getting enough sleep. For example, sleep apnea is a disorder in which aperson’s breathing is interrupted during sleep, leading to frequent awakenings and a loss of quality sleep.Finally, stress and anxiety can alsointerfere with sleep. When we are stressed out, our bodies produce cortisol, which is a hormone that can make it difficult to fall asleep. Furthermore, anxious thoughts can keep us awake at night, preventing usfrom getting the rest we need.In order to improve sleep, there are several things people can do. For example, they can create a bedtime routine, avoid electronic devices before bed, and make sleep a priority in their lives. Additionally,people who have disorders that prevent them from getting enough sleep should talk to their doctor about treatment options.61. How many hours of sleep do most adults need each night?A. Six to eightB. Seven to nineC. Nine to tenD. Ten to eleven62. What is one way that electronic devices can interfere with sleep?A. By emitting a blue light that disrupts melatonin productionB. By making too much noise at nightC. By causing nightmaresD. By waking people up too early63. What is one consequence of chronic sleep deprivation?A. Increased productivityB. Increased heart functionC. Decreased risk of obesityD. Increased risk of heart disease64. What is one disorder that can prevent people from getting enough sleep?A. DiabetesB. Heart diseaseC. Sleep apneaD. Stress and anxiety65. What are some strategies people can use to improve their sleep?A. Avoid using electronics before bed and make sleep a priorityB. Take medication to help you fall asleepC. Drink caffeine before bed to help you stay awakeD. Exercise vigorously right before bed to tire yourself out61. B. Seven to nine62. A. By emitting a blue light that disrupts melatonin production63. D. Increased risk of heart disease64. C. Sleep apnea65. A. Avoid using electronics before bed and make sleep a priorityPart II Writing (45 minutes)Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic: Your Favorite Leisure Activity.

Ilove getting outside and exploring new trails and taking in the views. There are few things that compare to the feeling of standing on top of a mountain, looking out over the landscape below.I enjoy hiking because it is both physically and mentally challenging. The terrain can be rough and steep, which makes it a great workout, but it also requires you to pay attention to where you are going and to be aware of your surroundings. It is a great way to clear your mind and let go of stress.I have derived many benefits from hiking. It has improved my physical fitness and help me maintain a healthy weight. It has also helped me connect with nature and appreciate the beauty of the world around me. Additionally, it has allowed me to meet new people and make new friends with similar interests.If you are interested in hiking, there are a few tips I would recommend. First, start slowly and choose trails that are appropriate for your fitness level. Second, make sure to bring plenty of water and wear appropriate footwear. Finally, make sure to pack a few snacks and enjoy the scenery along the way. Hiking can be a wonderful experience, and I would encourage anyone to give it a try.。

It is all unexpected difficulty in reading in people who have the intelligence and motivation thought to be necessary to be（32） readers.The brains of people with word blindness have difficulty taking images that they see or hear and turning it into（33）language，explained researcher Sally E. Shaywitz. This means that someone with word blindness not only has （34）reading but may also have difficulty speaking quickly. Typical readers can （35） recognize words after seeing them a few times; those with word blindness don’t.The new study（36）evidence for the first time showing that the （37）between IQ and reading over time is not the same for readers with word blindness as it is for typical readers.In people without word blindness，intelligence and reading do in fact connect and can （38） each other over time.

Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once. Each paragraph is marked with a letter. Answer the questions by writing the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet .How Geniuses Work(A) In 1905, Albert Einstein developed the theory of special relativity. He also proved that atomsexist and figured out that light behaves as both a particle and a wave. To top it all off, he developed his famous equation E=mc2, which describes the relationship between matter and energy, the same year. He was only 26 years old.(B) Without a doubt, Einstein was a genius. So wa s Isaac Newton ― as any f an of "Star Trek:The Next Generation" can tell you, he invented physics. He also played a big role in the development of calculus, which some people have trouble comprehending even after extensive classroom study. Another genius, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, started composing music when he was 5 years old. Mozart wrote hundreds of pieces before his death in 1760 at age 35.(C) According to conventional wisdom, geniuses are different from everyone else. They canthink faster and better than other people. In addition, many people think that all that extra brainpower leads to eccentric or quirky behavior. And although geniuses are fairly easy to spot, defining exactly what makes one person a genius is a little trickier. Figuring out how that person became a genius is harder still.(D) There are two big things that make it difficult to study genius:1. The genius label is subjective（主观的）. Some people insist that anyone with anintelligence quotient (IQ)（智商）higher than a certain value is a genius. Others feel that IQ tests measure only a limited part of a person’s total intelligence. Some believe high test scores have little to do with real genius.2. Genius is a big-picture concept. Most scientific and medical inquiries, on the other hand,examine details. A concept as subjective as genius isn’t easy to quantify（量化）, analyze or study.(E) So, when exploring how geniuses work, it’s a good idea to start by defining precisely whata genius is. For the purpose of this article, a genius isn’t simpl y someone with anexceptionally high IQ. Instead, a genius is an extraordinarily（非常）intelligent person who breaks new ground with discoveries, inventions or works of art. Usually, a genius’s work changes the way people view the world or the field in which the work took place. In other words, a genius must be both intelligent and able to use that intelligence in a productive or impressive way.(F) But what makes a person able to do all that? Even though scientists are not sure exactlyhow or why it happens, it’s clear that the human brain plays a part in determining a person’s intelligence. But what’s the difference between genius and intelligence? And what makes one person more intelligent than another? We’ll look at how intelligence relates to genius next.Genius and Intelligence(G) Like genius, intelligence can be difficult to quantify. Psychologists and neuroscientists studyintelligence extensively. An entire field of study, known as psychometrics（心理测量学）, is devoted to studying and measuring intelligen ce. But even within that field, experts don’t always agree on exactly what it is or how best to analyze it. And while intelligence is central to genius, not all geniuses score well on intelligence tests or perform well in school.(H) Intelligence testing has existed for thousands of years. Chinese emperors used aptitudetesting to evaluate civil servants as early as 2200 BC. The tests we know as IQ tests got their start near the end of the 19th century. Today, IQ tests generally measure a person’s memory as well as language, spatial（空间的）and mathematical abilities. In theoretical terms, these tests measure a concept or factor known as g. You can think of g as a unit of measure or a way of expressing the amount of intelligence a person has.(I) IQ tests are also standardized so that most people score between 90 and 110. When placed ona graph（曲线图）, the IQ test scores of a large group of people will generally resemble a bellcurve, with most people scoring in the average range. A common perception is that anyone scoring above a certain number ― often 140 ― is automatically a genius. But in spite of the existence of high-IQ organizations, many scientists caution that there is no such thing as a genius-level IQ.(J) Many educators and researchers feel that, in general, standardized IQ tests do a good job of predicting how well a child will perform in school. Schools often use these tests to determinewhich children to place in gifted or special education classes. Most colleges and universities and some employers also use standardized tests as part of their application processes.(K) However, in spite of their widespread use, these tests are not foolproof（十分可靠的）. In general, some minorities and people with lower income level tend to score lower than people from other racial and economic groups. Critics contend（争辩）that this makes IQ tests invalid or unfair.(L) In addition, some researchers argue that the concept of g doesn’t really give a full view of a person’s intelligence. They feel that intelligence is a combinati on of many factor. One theory that tries to provide a more complete view of intelligence is Howard Gardner’s theory of multiple intelligence (MI). According to Gardner, there are seven types of intelligence:●Linguistic（语言的）●Logical-mathematic●Musical●Bodily-kinesthetic（动觉的）●Spatial●Interpersonal●Intrapersonal(M) Many parents and educators feel that these categories（类别）more accurately express the strengths of different children. But critics allege that Garddner’s definiti ons are so broad and inclusive that they make intelligence meaningless.Another theory is Robert J. Sternbert’s triarchic（三元的）theory of human intelligence.According to Sternbert, human intelligence includes:●Creative intelligence●Analytical intelligence●Practical intelligence(N) In Sternbert’s view, a person’s total intelligence is a combination of these three abilities, Critics claim that he has little empirical（经验的）evidence for his theories. They also argue that practical intelligence is not intelligence at all, or that it can be explained through other theories of intelligence.(O) The triarchic and MI theories are both relatively new, and critics have pointed out flaws in both of them. However, they may be better able to explain the concept of genius than traditional IQ test can. Geniuese aren’t just people with a lot of g. Mozart, for example, combined musical genius with an innate understanding of mathematics and patterns.Einstein’s genius spanned the r ealms（领域）of logic, math and spatial relationships. And all geniuses have a very important aptitude in common — they have an abundance of creative intelligence. Without it, they wouldn’t be geniuses. They’d simply be exceptionally smart._______ 41. The author defines genius as one who breaks new ground in science, technology or art._______ 42. In popular conception, geniuses are unlike all other people._______ 43. Many people think that Howard Gardner’s theory of multiple intelligences reveals with more accuracy the abilities of individual children._______ 44. Einstein made many great scientific achievements when still young._______ 45. Compared with traditional IQ tests, the triarchic and MI theories probably better explain the concept of genius._______ 46. Critics of IQ tests argue that they are not just or right._______ 47. Creativity forms a key feature shared by all geniuses._______ 48. The difficulty in studying genius lies in the fact that different people form different concepts of genius._______ 49. Some geniuses fail to achieve good scores on intelligence tests or do well in school. _______ 50. IQ tests are characterized by the fact that they are standardized.Section C (30’)Directions：There are 4 passages in this section．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 write the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet．Passage OneShoppers on Black Friday, the traditional start of the holiday shopping season in America are notoriously（声名狼藉）aggressive．Some even start queuing outside stores before dawn to be the first to lay their hands on heavily discounted goods．Last year destructive bargain-hunters in the suburbs of New York City trampled（踩踏）a Wal-Mart employee to death．Despite the madness at many stores，however, the global economic recession appears to have accelerated the pace at which shoppers are abandoning bricks and mortar（灰浆）in favour of online retailers—e-tailers.E-commerce holds particular appeal in poor times as it enables people to compare prices across retailers quickly and easily．Buyers can sometimes avoid local sales taxes online，and shipping is often free．No wonder, then，that online shopping continues to grow even as the offline sort shrinks．The shift in spending to the Internet is good news for companies like P&G that lack retail shops of their own．But it is a big concern for physical retailers，whose prices are often higher than those of e-retailers，since they must bear the extra expense of running stores.The most obvious response to the growth of e-tailing is for conventional retailers to redouble their own efforts online．The online arms of big retailers are performing well, on the whole.The concept of “multichannel” shopping，where people can buy the same items from the same retailer in several different ways, is gaining ground，and retailers are trying to encourage users of one channel to try another．Retailers are also trying to make shopping seem fun and exciting to act against the recession．One common method is to set up “pop-up” stores，which appear for a short time before vanishing again，to develop a sense of novelty and urgency．51．Why does the author say the recession has accelerated the pace of online shopping?A) Because shoppers are aggressive when shopping at brick-and-mortar stores.B) Because online shopping allows people to look for cheaper goods more easily.C) Because the sales of brick-and- mortar shops shrink during economic recession.D) Because the same item is definitely cheaper when it is sold online.52．The price of goods of physical stores is often higher than that of virtual stores because ________.A) the physical stores bear higher operating costB) physical stores bear more local sales taxes than virtual onesC) the quality of good in physical stores is betterD) the giant manufactures like P&G favor e-commerce53．How do the traditional retailers react to the growth of e-tailing?A) They turn to focus entirely on online business.B) They sell goods both online and offline.C) They resist such kind of trend.D) They give more discounts for the goods to attract buyers.54．What is the retailers’ purpose of setting up “pop-up” stores?A) To cut down the operation cost．B) To offer bargain goods．C) To make shopping funny and urgent．D) To increase the sales in their online shops．55. Best Buy sells music lessons along with its musical instruments in the hope of ________.A) establishing its unique pattern of sellingB) competing against the same service offered onlineC) persuading customers to abandon online-shoppingD) making online shoppers go to its shops frequentlyPassage TwoFor Roy Johnson, a senior magazine editor, the latest indignity came after a recent dinner at a fancy restaurant in the wealthy New York City suburb where he and his family live. First the parking valet handed him the keys to his Jaguar instead of fetching the car. Then an elderly white couple came out and handed him the keys to their black Mercedes-Benz. “It took them a while to realize that I was n ot a valet,” says Johnson. “It didn’t matter that I was dressed for dinner and had paid a handsome price for the meal, just as he had. What mattered was that I didn’t fit his idea of someone who could be equal to him.”Such incidents, which are depressingly familiar to African-Americans of all ages, incomes and social classes, help explain why black and white attitudes often differ so completely. A recent survey found that 68 percent of blacks believe racism is still a major problem in America. Only 38 percent of whites agreed.Many Americans find the gulf between blacks and whites bewildering. After all, official segregation (隔离) is a bad memory and 40 years of law, policies and court decisions have helped African-Americans make significant progress toward equal opportunity. Indeed, a black man born in Harlem could be the nation’s next president.But racism persists, unmistakable to every black but largely invisible to many whites. It is evident in the everyday encounters African-Americans have with racial prejudice and discrimination, like the valet parking incident. Such encounters often strike whites as trivial misunderstandings. But they remind blacks that they are often dismissed as less intelligent, less industrious, less honest and less likely to succeed. Some insults are clearly racist; others may be evidence of insensitivity or bad manners rather than racial prejudice. But the accumulation of insults feeds anger.“What is amazing to me is the number of whites who express surprise that any of this ha ppens,” observes Mary Frances Berry, chairperson of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights, who says she has been watched at shopping malls.56. The word “valet” in the first paragraph most probably means__________ .A) a restaurant ownerB) a driver of expensive carsC) a wealthy-looking gentlemanD) a restaurant employee taking care of dinners’ car57. Roy Johnson was unfairly treated because________ .A) his car was inferior in qualityB) he didn’t wear proper clothesC) he failed to express himself clearlyD) he is black58. From the passage we can learn that_________ .A) both blacks and whites are bewildered by racismB) examples of racism are becoming rare in the USC) official segregation is forgotten because of bad memoriesD) a black man born in Harlem will be the next US president59. It is implied in the passage that many white people deny the presence of racism in the USbecause__________.A) they tend to regard instances of racism as trivial misunderstandingsB) they have never seen any instance of racism in their daily encountersC) they believe African-Americans have made significant progressD) they have treated black people as their equals on all occasions60. Judging from the context, the most possible explanation for Mary Frances Berry’s b eingwatched at shopping malls is that .A) she was a celebrityB) she didn’t fit people’s idea of an Afro-American womanC) many people nowadays are insensitive and rudeD) she is blackPassage ThreeThe Ebro Delta, in Spain, famous as a battleground during the Spanish Civil War, is now the setting for a different contest, one that is pitting rice farmers against two enemies: the rice-eating giant apple snail, and rising sea levels. What happens here will have a bearing on the future of European rice production and the overall health of southern European wetlands.Located on the Mediterranean just two hours south of Barcelona, the Ebro Delta produces 120 million kilograms of rice a year, making it one of the continent’s most important rice-growing areas. As the sea creeps into these fresh-water marshes, however, rising salinity（盐分）is hampering rice production. At the same time，this sea-water also kills off the greedy giant apple snail, an introduced pest that feeds on young rice plants. The most promising strategy has become to harness one foe against the other.The battle is currently being waged on land，in greenhouses at the University of Barcelona. Scientists working under the banner “Project Neurice”are seeking varieties of rice that can withstand the increasing salinity without losing the absorbency that makes European rice ideal for traditional Spanish and Italian dishes.“The project has two sides,” says Xavier Serrat, Neurice project manager and researcher at the University of Barcelona. “the short-term fight against the snail, and a mid- to long-term fight against climate change. But the snail has given the project gre ater urgency.”Originally from South America，the snails were accidentally introduced into the Ebro Delta by Global Aquatic Technologies, a company that raised the snails for fresh-water aquariums（水族馆）, but failed to prevent their escape. For now, the giant apple snail’s presence in Europe is limited to the Ebro Delta. But the snail continues its march to new territory, says Serrat. “The question is not if it will reach other rice-growing areas of Europe, but when.”Over the next year and a half investigators will test the various strains of salt-tolerant rice they’ve bred. In 2018, farmers will plant the varieties with the most promise in the Ebro Delta and Europe’s other two main rice-growing regions—along the Po in Italy, and France’s Rhone. A season in the field will help determine which, if any, of the varieties are ready for commercialization.As an EU-funded effort，the search for salt-tolerant varieties of rice is taking place in all three countries. Each team is crossbreeding a local European short-grain rice with a long-grain Asian variety that carries the salt-resistant gene. The scientists are breeding successive generations to arrive at varieties that incorporate salt tolerance but retain about 97 percent of the European rice genome（基因组）.61. Why does the author mention the Spanish Civil War at the beginning of the passage？A) It had great impact on the life of Spanish rice farmers.B) It is of great significance in the records of Spanish history.C) Rice farmers in the Ebro Delta are waging a battle of similar importance.D) Rice farmers in the Ebro Delta are experiencing as hard a time as in the war.62. What may be the most effective strategy for rice farmers to employ in fighting their enemies？A) Striking the weaker enemy first.B) Killing two birds with one stone.C) Eliminating the enemy one by one.D) Using one evil to combat the other.63. What do we learn about “Project Neurice”?A) Its goals will have to be realized at a cost.B) It aims to increase the yield of Spanish rice.C) Its immediate priority is to bring the pest under control.D) It tries to kill the snails with the help of climate change.64. What does Neurice project manager say about the giant apple snail？A) It can survive only on southern European wetlands.B) It will invade other rice-growing regions of Europe.C) It multiplies at a speed beyond human imagination.D) It was introduced into the rice fields on purpose.65. What is the ultimate goal of the EU-funded program？A) Cultivating ideal salt-resistant rice varieties.B) Increasing the absorbency of the Spanish rice.C) Introducing Spanish rice to the rest of Europe.D) Popularizing the rice crossbreeding technology.《大学英语3》考试试卷（A 卷）Answer SheetⅠVocabularySection A: (10’)Section B: (10’)21. s_________ __________ (for) 22. be _________ on (sth. / doing sth.) 23. ____________ up to 24. be _________ in 25. _________ _________ 26. __________ (any) _________1. s____________________2. c____________________3. m____________________4. c_____________________5. r_____________________6. s_____________________7. t_____________________8. a_____________________9. m_____________________ 10. f____________________ 11. r____________________ 12. i____________________ 13. t____________________ 14. g____________________ 15. c____________________ 16. s____________________ 17. s____________________ 18. s____________________ 19. n____________________ 20. e____________________27. __________ … for __________28. on sb’s ___________29. in __________30. to ___________ⅡReading Comprehension。

One way is to teach students how to learn more effectively and efficiently. Learning strategies are "Procedures or techniquesthat learners can use to facilitate a learning task." Instructing students of English in learning strategies can help them becomebetter learners. In addition, skill in using learning strategies assists students in becoming independent, confident learners. Finally, students become more motivated as they begin to understand the relationship between their use of strategies and success in learning English. Students need to develop an awareness of the learningprocess and strategies that lead to success. Students who reflect on their own thinking are more likely to engage in planning how to proceed with a learning task, monitoring their own performance on an ongoing basis, finding solutions to problems encountered, andevaluating themselves upon task completion. These activities may be difficult for students accustomed to having a teacher who solves all their learning problems and is the sole judge of their progress. Teachers need to encourage students to rely more on themselves. Because learning strategies are mental processes with few observable manifestations, teachers need to find ways to make the strategies as concrete as possible. When students are able to use the strategies their teachers have taught them, and to do so without prompting, then they need to explore new strategies, new applications, and new opportunities for self-regulated learning.(1). Better learning strategies can make language learning more( ).A. funB.interestingC.efficientD.exciting(2). Students who reflect on their own ( )will be more successful in learning.A. thinkingB.evaluationC.performanceD. activities(3). Teachers should encourage students to rely more on ( )A. booksB.notesC.tutorsD.themselves(4). Learning strategies are unobservable mental processes, so teachers should make them ( )A.simplerB.more familiarC.more concreteD. more applicable(5). Which of the following statements is true? ( )A. Students learn learning strategies from the teachers only.B.Learning strategies are completely unobservable.C.Students need to explore new learning strategies for themselves.D.Teache rs are the sole judges of students’ progress.2. Most animals have little connection with animals of different kind, unless they hunt them for food. Sometimes, however, two kinds of animals come together in a partnership ( 伙伴关系 ) which does goodto both of them. You may have noticed some birds sitting on the backs of sheep. This is not because they want a ride, but because they find easy food in the parasites （寄生虫 ) on sheep. The sheep allow the birds to do so because they remove the cause of discomfort. So although they can manage without each other, they do better together. Sometimes an animal has a plant partner. The relationship develops until the two partners cannot manage without each other. This is so in the corals (珊瑚) of the sea. In their skins they havetiny plants act as "dustman", taking some of the waste products form the corals and giving inreturn oxygen which the animal needs to breathe. If the plants are killed, or are ever prevented from lighting so that they cannot live normally, the corals will die.(1). Some birds like to sit ona sheep because ( ).A. they can eat its parasitesB. they depend on the sheep for existenceC. they enjoy traveling with the sheepD. they find the position most comfortable(2). The underlined word "they" in the last sentence of the first paragraph refers to ( ).A. birds and parasitesB. birds and sheepC. parasites and sheepD. sheep, birds and parasites(3). What does the second paragraph mainly discuss? ( )A. Some animals and plants depend on each other for existence.B. Some animals and plants develop their relationship easily.C. Some plants depend on each other for fooD. Some animals live better together.(4). What does this article talk about? ( )A. Two kinds of animals for a partnership.B. Most animals only have connection with animals.C. The connection between the living things.D. Corals have some connection with plants.3. 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. Doctors found that less than one-fourth of overweight adults who were trying to reduce weight said they were combining exercise with their diet.Still, exercise’s supporting role in weight reduction is necessary.A study 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 and decide to start walking one mile a day, the added exercise could burn an extra 100 calories daily. In a year’ time, assuming no increase in food intake, you could lost ten pounds. By increasing the distance of your walks gradually and making other dietary adjustments, you may lose even more weight.(1). According to the passage, what is the advantage of exercise mentioned by the author? ( )A. It can help you keep good health.B.It can help you maintain body weight.C. It can help you get rid of illness.D.It can help you find a good job.(2). When American people decided to lose their weight, what would they rather try? ( )A. To do exercise.B. To try some “light” beer.C. To try some “light” beer and low-calorie bread.D. To try both A and C.(3). The following statements are true except ( ).A. If people try some special food such as “light” beer when they want to lose weight, they would not regain their old weight.B. Both the diet and exercise play an important role in losing weight.C. Few American people who were trying to reduce weight would do exercise with their diet.D. If people walk one mile daily, and keep doing so for one year with diet, he would lost tenpounds.(4). The word “reduce” (Para. 1 ) probably means ( ).A. decreaseB. loseC. lessenD. cut down(5). This passage is mainly about ( ).A. the meaning of exerciseB. the way to reduce weightC. the relation between lose weight and exerciseD. the importance of losing weight4. Bill Gates, the head of the world’s biggest computer softwarecompany, the Microsoft Corporation, has a mission: “to put a computer on every office desk and in every home”. Bill Gates has had this mission since he was a university student years ago. This deep personal interest, together with his technical skills and his business marketing skills helped him to create a giant computer company and to make him wealthy.Although he is so wealthy, Bill Gates does not want to give up. He is still very interested in his vision and he travels the globe, making quick stops in cities to sell the new software products of his company.The central vision of Bill Gates is the “information highway”. This is a network for computers that will link every home, office and shop in the future. This computer network system will have an effect on business, shopping and education. Bill Gates says that the main use of this new technology will be in communication. It will be a way to find people with common interests and to share opinions with them. But is this communication by computer along the “information highway” really a good thing? Won’t we be sitting at home, only “socializing” with our computer, paying big compani es money so that we can receive information that some large communication corporation somewhere had decided is “acceptable” for us to read? No, says Bill Gates, he thinks that the phrase “information highway” is aterrible phrase. It makes people think that we are all going down the same road, he says. In fact, the computer network will let us choose our own intellectual direction. It will give us freedom. It will also bring good to society, because it will allow for the spread of education. When more and more people receive education, the gap between the rich and the poor will narrow.In the meantime, however, the gap between the rich and the poor is still there. To be added to this now is the gap between those with computers and those without.(1). Ever since he was a college student, Bill Gates has ________.A. become very interested in the computerB. set up a goal to popularize the computerC. discovered great potentials in computer businessD. dreamed of having a giant computer company(2). Bill Gates’ success depends on the following except__________A. his vision and his travel over the globeB. his technical skills and business marketing skillsC. his deep personal interest in developing computer scienceD. his strong desire to make big money(3). The word “vision” ( para.3) probably means________.A. SightB. ideaC. effortD. daydream(4). The “information highway” will mainly be used _______A. in human communicationB. to help link every home, office and shopC. in business, shopping and educationD. to narrow the gap between the rich and the poor(5). The best title for this passage is probably _________A. Bill Gates, his Vision and MissionB. Computer and InformationC. Advantages of the Computer NetworkD.

A. earned B. gave C. cost D. spentPart Ⅳ Reading Comprehension (20 points)Passage 1Normally a student must attend a certain number of courses in order to graduate, and each course which he attends gives him a credit which he may count towards a degree. In many American universities the total work for a degree consists of 36 courses each lasting for one semester. A typical course consists of three classes per week for fifteen weeks; while attending a university a student will probably attend four or five courses during each semester. Normally a student would expect to take four years attending two semesterseach year. It is possible for a student to move between one university and another during his degree course, though this is not in fact done as a regular practice.For every course that he follows a student is given a grade, which is recorded and available for a student to show to prospective employers. All this imposes a constant pressure and strain of work, but in spite of this some students still find time for great activity in student affairs. Elections to positions in student organizations arouse much enthusiasm. The effective work of maintaining discipline is usually performed by students who advise the academic authorities. Any student who is thought to have broken the rules, for example, by cheating, has to appear before a student court. With the enormous numbers of students, the operation of the system does involve a certain amount of activity. A student who has held one of these positions of authority is much respected and it will be of benefit to him later inhis career.61. According to the first paragraph an American student is allowed ______.A. to live in a different universityB. to take a particular course in a different universityC. to live at home and drive to classesD. to get two degrees from two different universities62.Normally a student would at least attend _____ classes each week .A. 36B. 12C. 20D. 1663. Some students are enthusiastic for positions in student organization probably because _________A. they hate the constant pressure and strain of their studyB. they will then be able to stay longer in the universityC. such positions help them get better jobsD. such positions are usually well paid64. American university students are usually under pressure of work because ____A. their academic performance will affect their future careerB. they are heavily involved in student affairsC. they have to observe university discipline .D. they want to run for positions of authority65. The student organizations seem to be effective in ______A. dealing with the academic affairs of the universityB. ensuring that the students observe university regulationsC. evaluating student s’ performance by bringing them before a courtD. keeping up the students’ enthusiasm for social activitiesPassage 2Your passport is your official identification as an American citizen. In America, most people never consider obtaining a passport unless they are planning a trip out of the country. In Europe, where travel from one country to another is much more common, almost everyone carries a passport. A passport is final proof of identity in almost every country in the world.In 1979, almost 15 million American held passports. Most of these passports were obtained to travel outside the country because, except for a few Western nations, passports are required to enter every country. And if you travel abroad, you must have a valid passport to reenter the country.When traveling abroad, you will need a passport for identification when exchanging dollars for francs or marks or other foreign currencies. You may also need your passport to use a credit card, buy an airplane ticket or check into a hotel. As a passport is anofficial U.S. document, it is valuable as identification in any emergency overseas, suchas floods, fires or war.Don’t confuse passports and visas. Whereas a passport is issued by a country to its citizens, a visa is official permission to visit a country granted by the government of that country. For some years, many countries were dropping their visa requirements, but that trend has reversed. They may be obtained from the embassy of the country you wish to visit.Passport applications are available at passport agency offices in large cities like Boston, New York, or Chicago. In smaller cities, applications are available at post offices and at federal courts. To get your fist passport, you must submit the application in person, along with a birth certificate and two pictures.66. Passport are beneficial for _______A. exchanging currencyB. using a credit cardC. checking into hotelsD. all of the above67. The passage suggests that _______A. most people don’t realize how important passports areB. passports aren’t important once you are in the country you’ve chosen to vistiC. passports are simple to obtain through the mailD. passports are obtained at the embassy once you enter a country68. We can conclude from the passage that _______A. passports are more important than visasB. visas and passports are the same thingC. foreign governments issue passports instead of visasD. visas are required to obtain passports.69. As used in this passage, the word “valid” in the second paragraph means _____A. foreignB. legalC. monetaryD. illegal70. The main purpose of this passage is to ______A. discuss traveling in other countriesB. distinguish between passports and visasC. discuss the financial uses of a passportD. provide information about passports Passage 3.One of the most difficult problems a young person faces is deciding what to do. Some people, however, from the time they are six years old “know” that they want to bedoctors or teachers or firefighters, but most of us do not get around to making a decision about a job until someone or something forces us to face the problem.hoosing a job takes time, and there are a lot of things you have to think about as you try to decide what you would like to do. You may find that you will have to take special courses for a particular kind of work, or you may find out that you will need to get enough knowledge for a particular job.Fortunately, there are a lot of people you can turn to for advice and help in making your decision. At most schools, there are teachers to give you information about jobs. And you can tale over your ideas with family members and friends who are always ready tolisten and to offer suggestions.71.In the first paragraph, “get round to ” means _____A. considerB. go all the wayC. arrive atD. remain the same72.

The passage tells you that _____ for a particular job.A. you should have ideas when you are a childB. I t’s impossible for you to get enough knowledgeC. you have to face the problemD. you may enter a class to studyPassage 4Maybe, you know that the letter “V” stands for victory in western countries. But do you know the history of the sign?During World War Two, Europe was occupied by the Germans. A lot of people escaped to Britain. Among them was one Belgian named Victor Dalveli. He was very patriotic. And every day, he used short-wave radio to broadcast to the Belgian people, calling on them toresist the German occupiers. One the last day of 1940, he asked his countrymen to writethe letter “V” wherever they could to show their determination to win the final victory. In a few days, the letter “V” appeared everywhere, even in the German barracks and the living areas of Nazi officers.Later, the letter “V” spread to the other occupied countries in Europe. Because it was simple and meaningful, it soon became very popular. When friends meet, they stretched outtheir middle and index fingers to great each other. At that time, in certain restaurants, knifes and forks were placed in such a way to form a “V”. And in some clock shops, clocks were purposely stopped at 11:05 to show the sign of “V”.76.

Always ask yourself where you’re going and how other people will be dressed when you get there.What we say today is only an inadequate expression of what we carry in our hearts. Words pale in the shadow of grief; they seem insufficient even to measure the brave sacrifice of those you loved and we so admired.Humor helps us live in harmony with others. It is unavoidable to have misunderstanding and tension with others during work and study. But humor can, as a “pacifier”, inject a light note into the touchy situation to ease these problems quicker than angry words or quarrels.大学英语3答案：1-5 B C略 D D6-10 B D 略 C B11-15 D A 略 B D 16-20 A D 略CD21-25 CD略CC26-30BB略CA略31-35BC略DC36-40 CC略B略41Taking42namely43略44略45standing46sooner47略48to wait49belongs50familiarity51-55略略略略略56-60ACBBD61-65 BBCAB66-70 略略略略略71-75 ACCBD76-80DBADDTranslation切记：你的职业和你的社交生活应界限分明。

But actually the umbrella was not invented as protection against rain. Its first use was a shade against the sun.Nobody knows who first invented it, but the umbrella was used in very ancient times. Probably the first to use it were the Chinese, way back in the eleventh century B. C.We know that the umbrella was used in ancient Egypt and Babylon as a sun shade. And there was a strange thing connected with its use: it became a symbol of honor and authority. In the Far East in ancient times, the umbrella was allowed to be used only by royalty or by those in high offices.In Europe, the Greeks were the first to use umbrella as a sunshade. And the umbrella was in common use in ancient Greece. But it is believed that the first persons in Europe to use the umbrella as protection against the rain were the ancient Romans.During the Middle ages, the use of the umbrella practically disappeared. Then it appeared again in Italy in the late sixteenth century. And again it was considered a symbol of power and authority. By 1680, the umbrella appeared in France and later on in England.By the eighteenth century, the umbrella was used against rain throughout most of Europe. Umbrella have not changed much in style during all this time, though they have become much lighter in weight. It wasn’t until the twentieth century that women’s umbrellas began to be made, in a whole variety of colors.。

But why do people read newspapers?Five hundred years ago, news of important happenings —battles lost and won, kings or rulers overthrown or killed — took months and even years to travel from one country to another. The news passed by word of mouth and was never accurate. Today we can read in ournewspapers of important events that occur in far away countries on the same day they happen.Apart from supplying news from all over the world, newspapers give us a lot of other useful information. There are weather reports, radio, television and film guides, book reviews, stories, and of course, advertisements. The bigger ones are put in by large companies to bring attention to their products. They pay the newspapers thousands of dollars for the advertising space, but it is worth the money for news of their products to go into almost every home in the country. For those who produce newspapers, advertisements are also very important. Money earned from advertisements makes it possible for them to sell their newspapers at a low price and still make a profit.1. The phrase “subscribe to” in the first paragraph means .A. go to the newspaper stand and buyB. send their own news stories toC. agree to buy for a specific period of timeD. become faithful readers of2. The habit of reading newspapers is .A. widespreadB. found among a few familiesC. not popularD. uncommon3. Before the time of the newspaper, .A. bad news traveled quickly and good news slowlyB. few people cared about events that took place in far away countriesC. kings and rulers were often overthrown or killedD. news was passed from one person to another4. The author seems to agree that money spent on advertisements is .A. wastedB. not muchC. well spentD. of no use to anyone5. Which of the following statements is true?A. Five hundred years ago it took a long time for news to reach other countries.B. Newspaper advertisements turn people’s attention away from their products.C. The news that we read in newspapers is mainly about new products.D. When newspapers are sold at a low price, the newspaper producers will lose money.Passage 2When John and Victoria Falls arrived in New York City for one-year stay, they did not bring very many things with them. They had planned either to live in a furnished apartment or to buy used furniture. But they soon learned about a new system that more and more people are using. The renting of home furnishings (bed, tables, dishes, and so on) has become one of America’s fastest growing businesses.What kinds of people rent their home furnishings instead of buying them? People who are international businessmen or government officials, foreign students, airline workers, young married couples — people whose job or business may force them to move frequently from one city to another. They save a lot of trouble and the cost of moving their furniture each time. They simply rent new furniture when they reach their new homes. Young people with little money do not want to buy cheap furniture that they may soon dislike. They prefer to wait until they have enough money to buy furniture they really like. Meanwhile, they find they can rent better qualityfurniture than they could afford to buy.One family, who now have a large, beautiful home of their own, liked their rented furniture so much that they decided to keep renting it instead of buying new things. But usually people do n’t like to tell others about it. The idea of renting home furnishings is still quite new, and they are not sure what their neighbors might think.6. Which of the following has become one of America’s fastest growing businesses?A. Selling home furnishings.B. Renting furnished apartments.C. Selling used furniture.D. Renting home furnishings.7. Why do some people prefer to rent furniture?A. Because the furniture they get in this way is new.B. Because it saves them a lot of money.C. Because it saves them much trouble and money.D. Because they can always get better quality furniture in this way.8. What can you infer from the passage?A. The idea of renting furniture is not acceptable.B. Renting furniture is still not popular with the majority of Americans.C. Only those who don’t have enough money rent furniture.D. People usually grow to like the furniture they have rented.9. Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage?A. Rent or Buy?B. A New Way of Getting Home FurnishingsC. Furnished ApartmentsD. A New Idea10. Young people like renting home furniture in that_________A. They have less money.B. They don’t want to buy old furniture.C. The new furniture is of good quality.D. They don’t have much money and don’t want to buy the cheap furniture.Passage 3Spending 50 minutes with a cell phone close to your ear is enough to change brain cell activity in the part of the brain closest to the antenna(天线). But whether that causes any harm is not clear, scientists at the National Institute of Health said at a conference last month, adding that the study will not likely settle concerns of a link between cell phones and brain cancer. “What we showed is glucose (葡萄糖) metabolism(代谢)(a sign of brain activity) increases in the brain in people who were exposed to a cell phone in the area closest to the antenna,” said Dr. Nora Volkow, whose study was published in the Journal of the American Medical Association. The study was meant to examine how the brain reacts to electromagnetic(电磁的) fields caused by wireless phone signals.Volkow said she was surprised that the weak electromagnetic radiation(辐射) from cell phones could affect brain activity, but she said the findings do not shed any light on whether cell phones cause cancer. “This study does not in any way indicate that. What the study does is to show the human brain is sensitive to electromagnetic radiation from cell phone exposures.” Use of the devices has increased dramatically since they were introduced in the early 1980s, withabout 5 billion cell phones now in use worldwide.Some studies have linked cell phone exposure to an increased risk of brain cancers, but a large study by the World Health Organization did not of fer a clear answer to this. Volkow’s team studied 47 people who had their brain examined while a cell phone was turned on for 50 minutes and another while the phone was turned off. While there was no complete change in brain metabolism, they found a 7 percent increase in brain metabolism in the region closest to the cell phone antenna when the phone was on.Experts said the results were interesting, but urged that they be understood with great care. “Although the biological significance, if any, of increa sed glucose metabolism from too much cell phone exposure is unknown, the results require further investigation,” Henry Lai of the University of Washington in the U.S. and Dr. Lennart Hardell of University Hospital in Sweden, wrote in an article in JAMA. “Much has to be done to further investigate and understand these effects.” They wrote.11. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?A. Cell phone use is dangerous.B. Cell phone use causes cancer.C. The human brain is an electromagnetic field.D. There are about 5 billion cell phone users in the world right now.12. Doctor Volkow was astonished because ______.A. her research has shed light on her understanding of cell phoneB. she found that cell phone exposure is harmful to human brainC. she found that using a cell phone for about 50 minutes could influence or change brain activityD. human brain is not responsive to electromagnetic radiation13. According to the passage, cell phones were launched _______。

To many people, the cause is obvious: they eat too much. But scientific evidence does little to support this idea. Going back to the America of the 1910s, we find that people were thinner than today, yet they ate more food. In those days people worked harder physically, walked more, used machines much less and didn't watch television.Several modem studies, moreover, have shown that fatter people do not eat more on average than thinner people. In fact, some investigations, such as the 1979 study of 3, 545 London office workers, report that, on balance, fat people eat less than slimmer people.Studies show that slim people are more active than fat people. A study by a research group at Stanford University School of Medicine found the following interesting facts: The more the men ran, the more body fat they lost.The more they ran, the greater amount of food they ate.Thus, those who ran the most ate the most, yet lost the greatest amount of body fat.11. Scientific evidence shows overeating is the obvious cause of weight problem.A) TB) F12. American people of the 1910s were thinner than today.A) TB) F13. Several modem studies show that fatter people eat more on average than thinner people.A) TB) F14. Studies show that fat people are less active than slim people.A) TB) F15. Those who ran the most lost the greatest amount of body fat.A) TB) FPassage TwoOne way that scientists learn about man is by studying animals, such as mice and monkeys. The scientists in this laboratory are experimenting on mice. They are studying the relationship between diet and health. At this time, over one hundred experiments are being done in this laboratory.In one of these experiments, the scientists are studying the relationship between the amount of food the mice eat and their health. The mice are in three groups. All three groups are receiving the same healthy diet. But the amount of food that each group is receiving is different. The first group is eating one cup of food each day, the second group is eating two cups, and the third group of mice is eating three cups.After three years, the healthiest group is the one that is only eating one cup of food each day. The mice in this group are thinner than normal mice. But they are more active. Most of the day, they are running, playing with one another, and using the equipment in their cages. Also, they are living longer. Mice usually live for two years. Most of the mice in this group are still alive after three years.The second group of mice is normal weight. They are healthy, too. They are active, but not as active as the thinner mice. But they are only living about two years, not the three years or more of the thinner mice.The last group of mice is receiving more food than the other two groups. Most of the day, these mice are eating or sleeping. They are not very active. These mice are living longer than the scientists thought - about a year and a half. But they aren't as healthy. They're sick more often than the other two groups.16. The scientists in the laboratory are studying the relationship between the amount of food anddiet.A) TB) F17. The first two groups are receiving the most fooD)A) TB) F18. The first group is the thinnest because they do not have a healthy diet.A) TB) F19. Normal mice usually live for two years.A) TB) F20. The text tells us that mice that eat less and exercise more will live longer.A) TB) FPassage ThreeA few years ago it was common to speak of a generation gap between young people and their elders. Parents said that children did not respect and listen to them, while children said that their parents did not understand them at all. What had gone wrong? Why had the generation gap suddenly appeared? Actually, the generation gap has been around for a long time. Many people argue that it is built into every part of our society.One important cause of the generation gap is the opportunity that young people have to choose their own ways of life. In a more traditional society, when children grow up, they are expected to live in the same area as their parents, to marry people that their parents know and like, and often to continue the family jobs. In our society, young people often travel great distances for their education, move out of the family at an early age, marry or live with people whom their parents have never met, and choose jobs different from those of their parents.In our society, parents often expect their children to do better than they did：to find better jobs, to make more money and to do all the things that they were unable to do. Often, that is another cause of the gap between them. Often, they discover that they have very little in common with each other.Finally, the speed at which changes take place in our society is the third cause of the gap between the generations. In a traditional culture, senior people are valued for their knowledge, but in our society the knowledge of a lifetime may become out of date. The young and the old seem to live in two very different worlds, separated by different skills and abilities. No doubt, the generation gap will continue in American life for some time to come.21.The first paragraph tells us that ________.A) the problem of the generation gap draws much attention from peopleB) it is out of date to talk about the generation gapC) children and parents are trying to understand each otherD) it is very important for people to frequently communicate with each other22.In a more traditional society, old people ________.A) have their children respect and listen to themB) do not care for their children at allC) expect their children to rebel against themD) do not live together with their children23.In American society young people ________.A) do not need to find jobsB) marry people younger than themC) have better education than their parentsD) leave home at an early age24.Which of the following is NOT the cause of the generation gap?A) Young people like to depend more on themselves.B) Parents do not love their children dearly.C) American society changes rapidly.D) Parents expect too much of their children.25.The main idea of the passage is ________.A) that the generation gap needs consideringB) when the generation gap is necessary in American societyC) why the generation gap existsD) how we can reduce the generation gapPassage FourIn the United States, it is not customary to telephone someone very early in the morning. If you telephone him early in the day, while he is shaving or having breakfast, the time of the call shows that the matter is very important and requires immediate attention. The same meaning is attached to telephone calls made after 11:00 p.m. If someone receives a call during sleeping hours, he assumes it’s a matter of l ife or death. The time chosen for the call communicates its importance. In social life, time plays a very important part. In the U.S.A. guests tend to feel they are not highly regarded if the invitation to a dinner party is extended only three or four days before the party date. But it is not true in all countries. In other areas of the world, it may be considered foolish to make an appointment too far in advance because plans which are made for a date more than a week away tend to be forgotten. The meaning of time differs in different parts of the world. Thus, misunderstandings arise between people from different cultures that treat time differently. Promptness is valued highly in American life, for example. If people are not prompt, they may be regarded as impolite or not fully responsible. In the U.S. no one would think of keeping a business associate waiting for an hour, it would be too impolite. A person who is 5 minutes late, will say a few words of explanation, though perhaps he will not complete the sentence.26. What is the main idea of this passage?A) It is not customary to telephone someone in the morning and in sleeping hours in the U.S.B) The role of time in social life over the world.C) If people are not prompt, they may be regarded as impolite or not fully responsible in theU.S.D) Not every country treats the concept of time as the same.27. What does it mean in the passage if you call someone during his or her sleeping hours?A) A matter of work.B) A matter of life or death.C) You want to see him or her.D) You want to make an appointment with him or her.28. Which of the following time is proper if you want to make an appointment with your friend?A) at 7: 00 am. B) at 4:00 pm. C) at the midnight. D) at 4:00 am.29. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A) In the U.S.A guests tend to feel they are highly regarded if the invitation to a dinner partyis extended only three or four days before the party date.B) There is no misunderstanding arising between people from different cultures about theconcept of time.C) It may be considered foolish to make an appointment well in advance in the U.S.A.D) Promptness is valued highly in American life.30. From the passage we can safely infer that ________.A) it’s a matter of life or death if you call someone in day timeB) the meaning of time differs in different parts of the worldC) it makes no difference in the U.S. whether you are early or late for a business partyD) if a person is late for a date, he needn’t make some explanationPart III Grammar and Vocabulary (20 points)Directions:There are ten incomplete sentences in this part.
