Choose the word in one of the following three ways: according to the context, by using the correct form of the given word, or by using the given letters of the word. Remember to write the answers on the answer sheet.Where The Wild Thing Are“I didn’t set out to make a children’s movie,” says Being john Malkovich director Spike Jonze , “I set out to make a movie about childhood.” Indeed, like the recent alternative children’s book (46) adapt , Fantastic Mr Fox, this is more like an adult film (47) children’s clothing －or rather in Jim Henson monster suits. When rambunctious (无法无天) nine-year-old Max feels (48) ig by his busy single mum and her new boyfriend, and runs away (49) home , he finds himself on an island populated by huge, hairy, scary Wild Things. Here, he gets himself crowned king, and he and the monsters fight and play, and throw mud at each other (which the younger viewers will love). They return home. That’s it .And that’s your problem. As a film , I can’t (50) de it’s disappointing. Despite whimsical (异想天开) imaginative and heart-tugging moments, Jonze and co-writer Dave Eggers inevitably lose the wonderful subtlety (精妙之处) of Maurice sendak’s well-loved 338-word picture book just by (51) (spin) it out into a full-length feature. Enough already! We get this dysfunctional group of neurotic Wild Things (52) rep Max’s child’s eye view of grown-ups as comprehensible giants, both terrifying and loving.(53) , even the repetitive action and non-subtleties (54) ,make this feel more like family therapy than a fairy (55)t can’t destroy the film’s haunting magic.Part IV Reading Comprehension (40marks)Read the following passages carefully and answer the questions given. Remember to write the answers on the answer sheet.Section A (10 marks)HOLDA YS IN WALES1. Rhos –Ddu Country CottagesYnys, Criccieth LL532 OPBDelightful hideaway cottages with private fishing.

The major reason is loss of habitat, which has contitued despite the establishment of 14 panda reserves . Deforestation , mainly carried out by farmers clearing land to make way for fields as they move higher into the mountains,has drastically contracted the mammal’s range. The panda has disappeared from much of central and eastern China, and is now restricted to the eastern flank of the Himalayas.Satellite imagery has shown the seriousness of the situation ; almost half of the panda’s habitat has been cut down or degraded since 1975.Worse ,the surviving panda population has also become fragmented; a combination of satellite imagery and ground surveys reveals panda “islands” in patches of forest sep arated by cleared land. The population of these islands has become isolated because the animals are loath to cross open areas .Just putting a road through panda habitat may be enough to split a population in two.The minuscule size of the panda populations worries conservationists. The smallest groups have too few animals to be viable, and will inevitably die out .The larger populations may be viable in the short term, but will be susceptible to genetic defects as a result of inbreeding.In these circumstances, a more traditional threat to pandas – the cycle of flowering and subsequent withering of the bamboo that is their staple food – can become literally species-threatening. The flowering prompts pandas to move from one area to another, thus preventing inbreeding in otherwise sedentary populations. In pandas, however, bamboo flowering could prove catastrophic（灾难性的）because the pandas are unable emigrate.The latest conservation management plan for the panda, prepared by China’s Ministry of Forestry and the World Wide Fund for Nature, aims primarily at maintaining panda habitats and ensuring that populations are linked wherever possible. This plan will change some existing reserve boundaries, establish 14 new reserves and protect or replant corridors-of forest between panda islands. Other measures include better control of poaching, reducing the degradation of habitats outside reserves, and reforestation.The plan is ambitious. Implementation will be expensive and will require participation by individuals ranging from villagers to government officials.Question 61 to 65: Complete the summary with words from the passage, changing the form where necessary, only one word for each blank.The survival of the giant panda is being seriously (61) .This is largely because the overall size of their habitat has been reduced. As a result, pandas are more prone to problems and are unable to (62) around freely, following the growth cycles of (63) plant. A new plan aims to protect existing panda (64) and to join some of them together. This plan also involves reforestation and the creation of new reserves. To succeed, everyone, (65) both the government and individuals, will have to cooperate.Section C (10 marks)Honda has developed a way to read pat terns of electric currents on a person’s scalp as well as changes in cerebral blood flow when a person thinks about four simple movements-moving the right hand, moving the left hand, running and eating.67 In a video shown at Tokyo headquarters, a person wearing a helmet sat still but thought about moving his right hand – a thought that was picked up by electrodes attached to his head inside the helmet.68 Honda said the technology wasn’t quite ready for a live demonstration because of possible distra ctions in the person’s thinking.Another problem is that brain patterns differ greatly among individuals, and so about two to three hours of studying them in advance are needed for the technology to work. The company, a leader in robotics, acknowledged the technology was still at a basic research stage, with no immediate practical applications in the works.69 Japan boasts one of the leading robotics industries in the world, and the government is pushing to develop the industry as a road to growth. Research on the brain is being tackled around the world, but Honda said its research was among the most advanced in figuring out ways to read brain patterns without having to hurt the person, such as embedding (植入) sensors into the skin . Honda has made robotics a centerpiece of its image, sending Asimo to events and starring the walking, talking robot in TV ads.70 “Our products are for people to use. It is important for us to understand human behavior, ” he said.“We think this is the ultimate in making a m achine move.”Question 66:Choose the best answer according to the passage.66. What does Honda say about its robot Asimo?A. It can detect a person’s way of thinking.B. It can imitate complex human movements.C. It is still in its experimental stage.D. It is ready for market distribution.Question 67 to 70: Choose the most appropriate of the following paragraphs that fit into questions 67 to 70 in the passage.A. “I’m talking about dreams today,” said Yasuhisa Arai, executive at the Honda Research Inst itute in Japan, the company’s research unit. “Practical uses are still way into the future.”B. Among the challenges for this brain technology is making the reading-device smaller so it can be portable, according to Honda.C. After several seconds, Asimo, programmed to respond to these brain signals, lifted its right arm.D. Honda succeeded in analysing these thought patterns, and then relayed them as wireless commands to Asimo, its human-shaped robot.Section D (10marks)Being an introvert is a bad thing, right? Well, a lot of people seem to think so, judging by the number of articles I’ve read about how to “cure” introversion. In response to these articles, I wrote The Introverts Strike Back, in which I argued that introverts can’t become extraverts, and they shouldn’t particularly want to.However, I’m not here to debate whether it’s better to be an introvert to an extravert. The fact is, we all have to interact with both types of people every day. Regardless of which type you are, you can greatly improve your relationships by learning to get along better with people of the other type. Here are some tips for getting started.For Introverts:*Indicate to others when you’re busy.When an extravert sees you reading, writing, or maybe just thinking, he might assume that the only reason you are doing this is because you don’t have someone to talk to. So he thinks he’s doing you a favor by striking up a conversation, when he’s actually interrupting.To prevent this, be sure to give an indicatio n that you’re in the middle of something and don’t want to socialise right now. This can be a visual sign or verbal.I know one person who tended to get a lot of visitors at work, and while he was actually an extravert, the frequent visits were slowin g him down too much. He put a sign on his door saying “If I don’t make eye contact or respond to you, I apologize. I’m not trying to be rude, I just have a lot of work to do. Thank you for understanding.” While I don’t think many people need to go that fa r, it certainly worked!*Realise that extraverts often need to talk.Because extraverts are more in touch with the external world, for them talking is something as necessary as breathing. They might think out loud by bouncing their thoughts off other people, and they might need to chat in order to boost their energy.For an introvert, this can be the most difficult part of dealing with an extravert. The same conversation that energises the extravert also drains the introvert. However, keeping in mind that the extravert is not being intentionally malicious, the introvert has at least two options for handling this in a polite way. They can patiently participate in the conversation, and then, when it’s over, recharge by being alone. Or they can cut off the conversation early by mentioning something else they need to be doing, or even by saying, “I’d like to help, but I’m not sure that I’m the right person for you to be talking to.”Of course, sometimes a conversation can be very enjoyable for an intr overt, in which case this isn’t a problem.For Extraverts:*Ask if someone is busy before spending time with them.If someone appears to be lonely, they might not be. Even if they’re just sitting there and don’t seem to be doinganything, they could be deep in thought and not want to be interrupted.If you need something, try to ask for it up front. Otherwise, look for clues that they might not feel like talking right now, such as lack of eye contact.If they seem uninterested, don’t take it personally. You just don’t know what you’re interrupting.*Understand what a draining effect a conversation can have on someone.No matter how fabulous a person you are, keep in mind that introverts simply prefer their internal world to the external world. They might st art off with a fully changed battery, but while they’re engaged in conversation, that battery is steadily draining. How long it lasts depends on various factors, but be sure to keep an eye out for when they’re starting to lose interest. Be more to the poin t with introverts, and save most of your chatting for extraverts who will appreciate it more.Questions 71 to 74: Complete each of the following sentences with NO MORE THAN FIVE WORDS according to the passage.71. Introverts are advised to to prevent interrupting when they are in the middle of something.72. For extraverts, having a conversation with people can be as important as73. An important clue that someone might not feel like talking with you right now is74. It is necessary to remember that introverts tend to focus more onQuestion 75: Choose the best answer according to the passage.75. What is the passage mainly about?A. Whether it is better to be an introvert or an extravert.B. How to get along with both introverts and extraverts.C. How to avoid embarrassment in conversations.D. One should be neither an introvert nor an extravert.Part V Translation (20marks)Section A (10 marks)Translate the underlined sentences in the following passage into Chinese. Remember to write the answers on the answer sheet.A soaring dropout rate is causing the United Stated to lose ground educationally to rivals abroad and is trapping millions of young American at the very margins of the economy. (76)The Obama administration acknowledges the problems in its new budget, which includes a ＄50 million prevention programme, but solving this problem will require a lot more money and a comprehensive national strategy.The alarming scope of the dropout crisis is laid out by the Center for Labor Market Studies at Northeastern University in Boston and the Alternative Schools Network in Chicago. (77)Their study, which examines data from the 12 largest states, finds that 16 percent of people from the ages of 16 to 24 have dropped out.(78) The problem is especially pronounced among men, who make up more than 60 percent of those who change school nationally. The dropout problem hits minorities really hard.(79) Many of this country’s large urban high schools are rightly called “dropout factories” because more students leave school than graduate. According to the study, state dropout rates are highest in the South, where Gerorgia (22.1 percent), Florida (20.1 percent) and Texas (18.5 percent) lead the way.(80) The dropout crisis presents a clear danger to national prosperity, but at the moment, states and localities are struggling to contain it with little help or guidance from the federal government. Congress, which is just waking up to this issue, can improve the situation by the putting its money and muscle behind proven programmes that have been shown to re-engage young people who have dropped out, and that keep at-risk children on track to complete their educations.Section B (10 marks)Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in brackets. Remember to write the answers on the answer sheet .81.石油价格的飞速上涨对世界经济产生了很大的影响。

If you plan to have a holiday with your children, what is the best place?60.What w ill you enjoy most in Bron Afon Self Catering?Section B(10 marks)The giant panda,the creature that has become a symbol of conservation ,is facing extinction. The major reason is loss of habitat, which has contitued despite the establishment of 14 panda r eserves . Deforestation , mainly carried out by farmers clear ing land to make way for fields as they move higher into the mountains,has drastically contracted th e mammal’s range. The panda has disappeared from much of central and eastern China, and is now restricted to the eastern flank of the Himalayas.Satellite imagery has shown the seriousness of the situation ; almost half of the panda’s habitat has been cut dow n or degraded since 1975.Worse ,the surviving panda population has also become fragmented; a combination of satellite imagery and ground surveys reveals panda ―islands‖ in patches of forest separated by cleared land. The population of these islands has become isolated because the animals ar e loath to cross open areas .Just putting a road through panda habitat may be enough to split a population in two.The minuscule size of the panda populations worries conservationists. The smallest groups have too few animals to be viable, and w ill inevitably die out .The larger populations may be viable in the short term, but will be su sceptible to genetic defects as a result of inbreeding.In these circumstances, a more traditional threat to pandas –the cycle of flowering and subsequent wither ing of the bamboo that is their staple food –can become literally species-threatening. The flowering prompts pandas to move from one area to another, thus preventing inbreeding in otherw ise sedentary populations. In pandas, however, bamboo flower ing could pr ove catastrophic（灾难性的）because the pandas are unable emigrate.The latest conservation management plan for the panda, prepared by China’s Ministry of Forestry and the W orld Wide Fund for Nature, aims primarily at maintaining panda habitats and ensuring that populations are linked wherever possible. This plan w ill change some existing reserve boundaries, establish 14 new r eserves and protect or replant corridors-of forest between panda islands. Other measures include better control of poaching, reducing the degradation of habitats outside reserves, and reforestation.The plan is ambitious. Implementation will be expensive and will require participation by individuals ranging from villagers to gover nment officials. Question 61 to 65: C omplete the summary w ith words from the passage, changing the form where necessary, only one word for each blank.The survival of the giant panda is being seriously (61) .This is largely because the overall size of their habitat has been reduced. As a result, pandas are more prone to problems and are unable to (62) around freely, following the growth cycles of (63) plant. A new plan aims to protect existing panda (64) and to join some of them together. This plan also involves reforestation and the creation of new reserves. To succeed, everyone, (65) both the government and individuals, will have to cooperate.Section C (10 marks)Honda has developed a way to read patterns of electr ic currents on a person’s scalp as well as ch anges in cerebral blood flow w hen a person thinks about four simple movements-moving the right hand, moving the left hand, running and eating.67 In a video shown at Tokyo headquarters, a person wearing a helmet sat still but thought about moving his right hand –a thought that was picked up by electrodes attached to his head inside the helmet.68 Honda said the technology w asn’t quite ready for a live demonstration because of possible distractions in the person’s thinking.Another problem is that brain patterns differ greatly among individuals, and so about two to three hours of studying them in advance are needed for the technology to work. The company, a leader in robotics, acknowledged the technology was still at a basic r esearch stage, with no imm ediate practical applications in the works.69 Japan boasts one of the leading robotics industries in the wor ld, and the government is pushing to develop the industry as a road to growth. Research on the br ain is being tackled around the wor ld, but Honda said its research was among the most advanced in figuring out ways to read brain patterns without having to hurt the person, such as embedding (植入) sensors into the skin . Honda has made robotics a centerpiece of its image, sending Asimo to events and starring the walking, talking robot in TV ads.70 ―Our products are for people to use. It is important for us to understand human behavior, ‖ he said.―We think this is the ultimate in making a machine move.‖Question 66:Choose the best answer according to the passage.66. What does Honda say about its robot Asimo?A. It can detect a person’s way of thinking.B. It can imitate complex human movements.C. It is still in its experimental stage.D. It is ready for market distribution.Question 67 to 70: Choose the most appropriate of the follow ing par agraphs that fit into questions 67 to 70 in the passage.A. ―I’m talking about dreams today,‖ said Yasuhisa Arai, executive at the Honda Research Institute in Japan, the company’s research unit. ―Practical uses are still way into the future.‖B. Among the challenges for this brain technology is making the reading-device smaller so it can be por table, according to Honda.C. After several seconds, Asimo, pr ogrammed to respond to these brain signals, lifted its right arm.D. Honda succeeded in analysing these thought patterns, and thenrelayed them as wireless commands to Asimo, its human-shaped robot. Section D (10marks)Being an introvert is a bad thing, r ight? Well, a lot of people seem to think so, judging by th e number of articles I’ve read about how to ―cure‖ introversion. In response to these articles, I wrote The Introverts Str ike Back, in which I argued that introverts can’t become extraver ts, and they shouldn’t particularly want to.However, I’m not here to debate whether it’s better to be an introvert to an extravert. The fact is, we all have to interact w ith both types of people every day. Regardless of which type you are, you can greatly improve your relationships by learning to get along better w ith people of the other type. Here are some tips for getting started.For Introverts:*Indicate to others w hen you’re busy.When an extravert sees you reading, writing, or maybe just thinking, he might assume that the only reason you are doing this is because you don’t have someone to talk to. So he thinks he’s doing you a favor by striking up a conversation, when he’s actually interrupting.To prevent this, be sure to give an indication that you’re in the middle of something and don’t want to s ocialise right now. This can be a visual sign or verbal.I know one person who tended to get a lot of visitors at work, and while he was actually an extravert, the frequent visits were slowing him down too much. He put a sign on his door saying ―If I don’t make eye contact or respond to you, I apologize. I’m not trying to be rude, I just have a lot of work to do. Thank you for understanding.‖ While I don’t think many people need to go that far, it certainly worked!*Realise that extravert s often need to talk.Because extraverts are more in touch with the external world, for them talking is something as necessary as breathing. They might think out loud by bouncing their thoughts off other people, and they might need to chat in order to boost their energy.For an introvert, this can be the most difficult part of dealing w ith an extravert. The same conversation that energises the extravert also drains the intr overt. How ever, keeping in mind that the extravert is not being intentionally malicious, the introvert has at least two options for handling this in a polite way. They can patiently participate in the conversation, and then, when it’s over, recharge by being alone. Or they can cut off the conversation early by mentioning something else they ne ed to be doing, or even by saying, ―I’d like to help, but I’m not sure that I’m the r ight person for you to be talking to.‖Of course, sometimes a conversation can be very enjoyable for an introvert, in w hich case this isn’t a problem.For Extraverts:*Ask if someone is busy before spending time with them.If someone appears to be lonely, they might not be. Even if they’re just sitting there and don’t seem to be doing anything, they could be deep in thought and not want to be interrupted.If you need something, try to ask for it up front. Otherwise, look for clues that they might not feel like talking right now, such as lack of eye contact.If they seem uninterested, don’t take it personally. Y ou just don’t know what you’re interrupting.*Understand what a draining effect a conversation can have on someone.No matter how fabulous a person you are, keep in mind that intr overts simply prefer their internal w orld to the external wor ld. They might start off with a fully changed battery, but while they’re enga ged in conversation, that battery is steadily draining. How long it lasts depends on various factors, but be sure to keep an eye out for when they’re starting to lose interest. Be more to the point w ith introverts, and save most of your chatting for extraverts who will appreciate it more.Questions 71 to 74: Complete each of the follow ing sentences with NO MORE THAN FIVE WORDS according to the passage.71. Introverts are advised to to prevent interrupting when they are in the middle of something.72. For extraverts, having a conversation w ith people can be as important as73. An important clue that someone might not feel like talking w ith you r ight now is74. It is necessary to remember that introverts tend to focus more on Question 75: Choose the best answer according to the passage.75. What is the passage mainly about?A. Whether it is better to be an introvert or an extravert.B. How to get along with both introverts and extr averts.C. How to avoid embarrassment in conversations.D. One should be neither an introvert nor an extravert.Part V T ranslation (20marks)Section A (10 marks)Translate the under lined sentences in the following passage into C hinese. Rem e m ber to wr ite the answers on the answer sheet.A soaring dropout rate is causing the United Stated to lose ground educationally to r ivals abroad and is trapping millions of young American at the very margins of the economy. (76)The Obama administration acknowledges the pr oblems in its new budget, which includes a ＄50 million prevention programme, but solving this problem w ill require a lot more money and a comprehensive national strategy.The alarming scope of the dropout crisis is laid out by the C enter for Labor Market Studies at Northeastern University in Boston and the Alternative Schools Network in Chicago. (77)Their study, which examines data from the 12 largest states, finds that 16 percent of people fr om the ages of 16 to 24 have dropped out.(78) The problem is especially pronounced among men, who make up more than 60 percent of those who change school nationally. The dropout problem hits minor ities really har d.(79) Many of this country’s lar ge urban high schools are r ightly called ―dropout factor ies‖ because more students leave school than graduate. According to the study, state dropout rates are highest in the South, where Gerorgia (22.1 percent), Flor ida (20.1 percent) and Texas (18.5 percent) lead the w ay.(80) The dropout cr isis presents a clear danger to national prosper ity, but at the moment, states and localities are struggling to contain it w ith little help or guidance from the federal government. C ongress, which is just waking up to this issue, can improve the situation by the putting its money and muscle behind proven programmes that have been shown to re-engage young people who have dropped out, and that keep at-risk children on track to complete their educations.Section B (10 marks)Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in brackets.

The major reason is loss of habitat, which has contitued despite the establishment of 14 panda reserves . Deforestation , mainly carried out by farmers clearing land to make way for fields as they move higher into the mammal’s range. The panda has disappeared from much of central and eastern China, and is now restricted to the eastern flank of the Himalayas.Satellite imagery has shown the seriousness of the situation ; almost half of the panda’s habitat has been cut down or degraded since 1975.Worse ,the surviving panda population has also become fragmented;a combination of satellite imagery and ground surveys reveals panda ―island‖in patches of forest separated by cleared land. The population of these islands has become isolated because the animals are loath to cross open areas .Just putting a road through panda habitat may be enough to split a population in two.The minuscule size of the panda populations worries conservationists. The smallest groups have too few animals to be viable, and will inevitably die out .The larger populations may be viable in the short term, but will be susceptible to genetic defects as a result of inbreeding.In these circumstances, a more tradition threat to pandas –the cycle of flowering and subsequent withering of the bamboo that is their staple food – can become literally species-threatening. The flowering prompts pandas to move from one area to another, thus preventing inbreeding in otherwise sedentary populations. In pandas, however, bamboo flowering could prove catastrophic（灾难性的）because the pandas are unable emigrate.The latest conservation management plan for the panda, prepared by China’s Ministry of Forestry and the World Wide Fund for Nature, aims primarily at maintaining panda habitats and ensuring that population are linked wherever possible. This plan will change some existing reserve boundaries, establish 14 new reserves and protect or replant corridors-of forest between panda islands. Other measures include better control of poaching, reducing the degradation of habitats outside reserves, and reforestation.The plan is ambitious. Implementation will be expensive and will require participation by individuals ranging from villagers to government officials.Question 61 to 65: Complete the summary with words from the passage, changing the form where necessary, only one word for each blank./ Question 66: Choose the best answer according to the passage.66.

Well, a lot of people seem to think so, judging by the number of articles I’ve read about how to ―cure‖ introversion. In response to these articles, I wrote The Introverts Strike Back, in which I argued that introverts can’t become extraverts, and they shouldn’t particularly to.However, I’m not here to debate whether it’s better to be an introvert to an extravert. The fact is, we all have to interact with both types of people every day. Regardless of which type you are, you can greatly improve your relationships by learning to get along better with people of the other type. Here are some tips for getting started.For Introverts:*Indicate to others when you’re busy.When an extravert see you reading, writing, or maybe just thinking, he might assume that the only reason you are doing this is because you don’t have someone to talk to. So he thinks he’s doing you a favor by striking up a conversation, when he’s actually interrupting.To prevent this, be sure to give an indication that you’re in the middle of something and don’t want to socialize right now. This can be a visual sign or verbal.I know one person who tended to get a lot of visitors at work, and while he was actually an extravert, the frequent visits were slowing him down too much. He put a sign on his door saying ―If I don’t make eye contact or respond to you, I apologize. I’m not trying to be rude, I just have a lot of work to do. Thank you for understanding.‖ While I don’t think many people need to go that far, it certainly worked!*Reading that extraverts often need to talk.Because extraverts are more in touch with the external world, for them talking is something as necessary as breathing. They might think out loud by bouncing their thoughts off other people, and they might need to chat in order to boost their energy./ M: Yes, wasn’t it marvelous? I’ve heard that the lecturer is a self-taught man with no university education.3. W: So, did you have a good trip back from Bangkok, Kenny?M: Yeah, not bad. The plane left on time for a change, but the stopover in Singapore was left an hour longer than scheduled, and then we took a long time to land ... Actually, I would walk out of customs two hours ago.W: En... , I thought you were only an hour late!4. M: Now, I’m going to start off by asking you a difficult question. Why would you like to get thispost?W: Well, first of all, I know your firm has a very good reputation. I’ve also heard that you offer good opportunities for promotion to the right person.5. W: Now, I should have failed it yesterday, but it doesn’t seem to be here in “paid invoices” andthat’s the right file. I don’t understand... it’s been paid.M: Ah, what about this envelope on your chair?W: Oh here it is! It’s in the right place but it’s attached to the receipt so I couldn’t see it.Section BIn this section, you will hear two long conversations. Each conversation will be read only once. After each conversation, there will be a one-minute pause. During the pause, read the five questions, each with three choices marked A, B and C, and decide which is the best answer.Conversation OneM: Mm..., where do you recommend I stay? What’s the Holiday Inn like?W: It’s nice there. It’s in the city centre and has all the usual business facilities. The service is the first class.M: Oh, good. So I’ll get a room there. Now, what’s the best way to get to the hotel from the airport?Should I take a taxi?W: Well, you can, but you don’t have to. The subway system is very good.M: Mm..., can you tell me something about business hours there? I mean, what time are the banks open?W: The banks? They open at half past eight and close at four thirty.M: I see. And are they open on Saturdays, too?/ W: I’m afraid not, and the shops close early on Saturdays, too. During the week they’re open until half past six, but on Saturdays they close at four.M: At four! Right. Now, what’s the weather like at this time of year?W: Well, it’s usually warm, but sometimes it turns cold and wet. So don’t forget to take some warm clothes and a raincoat. When are you going on this trip?M: Oh, not until the middle of the month. The fifteenth, I think. Do you have any other advice for me?W: No, nothing I can think of at the moment. It’s a nice country, peaceful and calm, and people are friendly. I’m sure you’ll enjoy your stay there.Conversation TwoW: Can you sell yourself in two minutes? Go for it.M: I have good qualifications and plenty of experiences. I am also responsible and diligent in any projects I undertake.W: Why did you leave your last job?M: I felt there was no opportunity for advancement there, and I’m hoping to get a better position. W: What makes you think you would be successful in this position?M: My graduate school training combined with my internship should qualify me for this particular job. I am sure I will be successful at it.W: What personality traits do you admire?M: I admire an honest, flexible and easy-going person who possesses the “can-do” spirit.W: What leadership qualities did you develop as an administrator?M: I’m good at motivating people and leading them to work together as a team.W: What do you find frustrating in a work situation?M: Sometimes narrow-minded people who are not receptive to new ideas make me feel frustrated. W: How do you handle conflict with your colleagues?M: I try to present my new ideas in a clear and civilized manner in order to get my points across. W: We will let you know what we decide probably next Wednesday. I hope to give you a positive reply.M: OK, thank you very much. Goodbye.Section C/ In this section, you will hear five short news items. Each item will be read only once. After each item, there will be a pause.

Health officials say as many as eighty percent of deaths from chronic diseases could beprevented. They say an important tool for governments is to restrict the marketing of alcohol and tobacco to young people. Also, more programmes are needed to urge healthy eating and more physical activity.18. The University Boat Race is a uniquely British institution but it’s taken on a distinctlyinternational character. It dates back to 1829 and is now broadcast on television in more thana hundred countries.

There were also four Americans, three Germans, two Canadians and an Australian.19. The website Friends Reunited was started for fun in 1999 by a couple who were interested toknow what their old school friends were doing.

Remember to write the answers on the answer sheet.Where The Wild Thing Are“I didn’t set out to make a children’s movie,” says Being john Malkovich director Spike Jonze , “I set out to make a movie about childh ood.” Indeed, like the recent alternative children’s book (46) adapt ion , Fantastic Mr Fox, this is more like an adult film (47) in children’s clothing －or rather in Jim Henson monster suits. When rambunctious (无法无天) nine-year-old Max feels (48) ig nored by his busy single mum and her new boyfriend, and runs away (49) from home , he finds himself on an island populated by huge, hairy, scary Wild Things. Here, he gets himself crowned king, and he and the monsters fight and play, and throw mud at each other (which the younger viewers will love). They return home. That’s it .And that’s your problem. As a film , I can’t (50) de ny it’s disappointing. Despite whimsical (异想天开) imaginative and heart-tugging moments, Jonze and co-writer Dave Eggers inevitably lose the wonderful subtlety (精妙之处) of Maurice sendak’s well-loved 338-word picture book just by (51) spinning (spin) it out into a full-length feature. Enough already! We get this dysfunctional group of neurotic Wild Things (52) rep etiting Max’s child’s eye view of grown-ups as comprehensible giants, both terrifying and loving. (53) However , even the repetitive action and non-subtleties (54) ,make this feel more like family therapy than a fairy (55)tale can’t destroy the film’s haunting magic.Part IV Reading Comprehension (40marks)Read the following passages carefully and answer the questions given.

As a result, pandas are more prone to problems and are unable to (62)emigrate around freely, following the growth cycles of (63) bamboo plant. A new plan aims to protect existing panda (64) population and to join some of them together. This plan also involves reforestation and the creation of new reserves. To succeed, everyone, (65) including both the government and individuals, will have to cooperate. Section C (10 marks)10Honda has developed a way to read patterns of elect ric currents on a person’s scalp as well as changes in cerebral blood flow when a person thinks about four simple movements-moving the right hand, moving the left hand, running and eating.67 d In a video shown at Tokyo headquarters, a person wearing a helmet sat still but thought about moving his right hand – a thought that was picked up by electrodes attached to his head inside the helmet.68 c Honda said the technology wasn’t quite ready for a live demonstration because of possible distractions in th e person’s thinking.Another problem is that brain patterns differ greatly among individuals, and so about two to three hours of studying them in advance are needed for the technology to work. The company, a leader in robotics, acknowledged the technology was still at a basic research stage, with no immediate practical applications in the works.69 a Japan boasts one of the leading robotics industries in the world, and the government is pushing to develop the industry as a road to growth. Research on the brain is being tackled around the world, but Honda said its research was among the most advanced in figuring out ways to read brain patterns without having to hurt the person, such as embedding (植入) sensors into the skin . Honda has made robotics a centerpiece of its image, sending Asimo to events and starring the walking, talking robot in TV ads.70 b“Our products are for people to use. It is important for us to understand human behavior, ” he said.“We think this is the ultimate in making a machine move.”Question 66:Choose the best answer according to the passage.66.

Well, a lot of people seem to think so, judging by the number of articles I’ve read about how to “cure” introversion. In response to these articles, I wrote The Introverts Strike Back, in which I a rgued that introverts can’t become extraverts, and they shouldn’t particularly want to.However, I’m not here to debate whether it’s better to be an introvert to an extravert. The fact is, we all have to interact with both types of people every day. Regardless of which type you are, you can greatly improve your relationships by learning to get along better with people of the other type. Here are some tips for getting started.For Introverts:*Indicate to others when you’re busy.When an extravert sees you reading, writing, or maybe just thinking, he might assume that the only reason you are doing this is because you don’t have someone to talk to. So he thinks he’s doing you a favor by striking up a conversation, when he’s actually interruptin g.To prevent this, be sure to give an indication that you’re in the middle of something and don’t want to socialise right now. This can be a visual sign or verbal.I know one person who tended to get a lot of visitors at work, and while he was actually an extravert, thefrequent visits were slowing him down too much. He put a sign on his door saying “If I don’t make eye contact or respond to you, I apologize. I’m not trying to be rude, I just have a lot of work to do. Thank you for understanding.” While I don’t think many people need to go that far, it certainly worked!*Realise that extraverts often need to talk.Because extraverts are more in touch with the external world, for them talking is something as necessary as breathing. They might think out loud by bouncing their thoughts off other people, and they might need to chat in order to boost their energy.For an introvert, this can be the most difficult part of dealing with an extravert. The same conversation that energises the extravert also drains the introvert. However, keeping in mind that the extravert is not being intentionally malicious, the introvert has at least two options for handling this in a polite way. They can patiently participate in the conversation, and then, when it’s over, recharge by being alone. Or they can cut off the conversation early by mentioning something else they need to be doing, or even by saying, “I’d like to help, but I’m not sure that I’m the right person for you to be talking to.”Of course, somet imes a conversation can be very enjoyable for an introvert, in which case this isn’t a problem.For Extraverts:*Ask if someone is busy before spending time with them.If someone appears to be lonely, they might not be. Even if they’re just sitting there and don’t seem to be doing anything, they could be deep in thought and not want to be interrupted.If you need something, try to ask for it up front. Otherwise, look for clues that they might not feel like talking right now, such as lack of eye contact.If they seem uninterested, don’t take it personally. You just don’t know what you’re interrupting.*Understand what a draining effect a conversation can have on someone.No matter how fabulous a person you are, keep in mind that introverts simply prefer their internal world to the external world. They might start off with a fully changed battery, but while they’re engaged in conversation, that battery is steadily draining. How long it lasts depends on various factors, but be sure to keep an eye out for when t hey’re starting to lose interest. Be more to the point with introverts, and save most of your chatting for extraverts who will appreciate it more.Questions 71 to 74: Complete each of the following sentences with NO MORE THAN FIVE WORDS according to thepassage.71. Introverts are advised to learn to indicate people to prevent interrupting when they are in the middle of something.72. For extraverts, having a conversation with people can be as important as breathing73. An important clue that someone might not feel like talking with you right now is lacking eye contact74.

When rambunctious (无法无天) nine-year-old Max feels (48) ig by his busy single mum and her new boyfriend, and runs away (49) home , he finds himself on an island populated by huge, hairy, scary Wild Things. Here, he gets himself crowned king, and he and the monsters fight and play, and throw mud at each other (which the younger viewers will love). They return home. That’s it .And that’s your problem. As a film , I can’t (50) de it’s disappointing. Despite whimsical (异想天开) imaginative and heart-tugging moments, Jonze and co-writer Dave Eggers inevitably lose the wonderful subtlety (精妙之处) of Maurice sendak’s well-loved 338-word picture book just by (51) (spin) it out into a full-length feature. Enough already! We get this dysfunctional group of neurotic Wild Things (52) rep Max’s child’s eye view of grown-ups as comprehensible giants, both terrifying and loving.(53) , even the repetitive action and non-subtleties (54) ,make this feel more like family therapy than a fairy (55)t can’t destroy the film’s haunting magic.Part IV Reading Comprehension (40marks)Read the following passages carefully and answer the questions given.

The major reason is loss of habitat, which has contitued despite the establishment of 14 panda reserves . Deforestation , mainly carried out by farmers clearing land to make way for fields as they move higher into the mountains,has drastically contracted the mammal’s range. The panda has disappeared from much of central and eastern China, and is now restricted to the eastern flank of the Himalayas.Satellite imagery has shown the seriousness of the situation ; almost half of the panda’s habitat has been cut down or degraded since 1975.Worse ,the surviving panda population has also become fragmented; a combination of satellite imagery and ground surveys reveals panda ―islands‖ in patches of forest separated by cleared land. The population of these islands has become isolated because the animals are loath to cross open areas .Just putting a road through panda habitat may be enough to split a population in two.The minuscule size of the panda populations worries conservationists. The smallest groups have too few animals to be viable, and will inevitably die out .The larger populations may be viable in the short term, but will be susceptible to genetic defects as a result of inbreeding.In these circumstances, a more traditional threat to pandas – the cycle of flowering and subsequent withering of the bamboo that is their staple food – can become literally species-threatening. The flowering prompts pandas to move from one area to another, thus preventing inbreeding in otherwise sedentary populations. In pandas, however, bamboo flowering could prove catastrophic（灾难性的）because the pandas are unable emigrate.The latest conservation management plan for the panda, prepared by China’s Ministry of Forestry and the World Wide Fund for Nature, aims primarily at maintaining panda habitats and ensuring that populations are linked wherever possible. This plan will change some existing reserve boundaries, establish 14 new reserves and protect or replant corridors-of forest between panda islands. Other measures include better control of poaching, reducing the degradation of habitats outside reserves, and reforestation.The plan is ambitious. Implementation will be expensive and will require participation by individuals ranging from villagers to government officials.Question 61 to 65: Complete the summary with words from the passage, changing the form where necessary, only one word for each blank.The survival of the giant panda is being seriously (61) .This is largely because the overall size of their habitat has been reduced. As a result, pandas are more prone to problems and are unable to (62) around freely, following the growth cycles of (63) plant. A new plan aims to protect existing panda (64) and to join some of them together. This plan also involves reforestation and the creation of new reserves. To succeed, everyone, (65) both the government and individuals, will have to cooperate.Section C (10 marks)Honda has developed a way to read patterns of electric currents on a person’s scalp as well as changes in cerebral blood flow when a person thinks about four simple movements-moving the right hand, moving the left hand, running and eating.67 In a video shown at Tokyo headquarters, a person wearing a helmet sat still but thought about moving his right hand – a thought that was picked up by electrodes attached to his head inside the helmet.68 Honda said the technology wasn’t quite ready for a live demonstration because of possible distractions in the person’s thinking.Another problem is that brain patterns differ greatly among individuals, and so about two to three hours of studying them in advance are needed for the technology to work. The company, a leader in robotics, acknowledged the technology was still at a basic research stage, with no immediate practical applications in the works.69 Japan boasts one of the leading robotics industries in the world, and the government is pushing to develop the industry as a road to growth. Research on the brain is being tackled around the world, but Honda said its research was among the most advanced in figuring out ways to read brain patterns without having to hurt the person, such as embedding (植入) sensors into the skin . Honda has made robotics a centerpiece of its image, sending Asimo to events and starring the walking, talking robot in TV ads.70 ―Our products are for people to use. It is important for us to understand human behavior, ‖ he said.“We think this is the ultimate in making a machine move.‖Question 66:Choose the best answer according to the passage.66. What does Honda say about its robot Asimo?A. It can detect a person’s way of thinking.B. It can imitate complex human movements.C. It is still in its experimental stage.D. It is ready for market distribution.Question 67 to 70: Choose the most appropriate of the following paragraphs that fit into questions 67 to 70 in the passage.A. ―I’m talking about dreams today,‖ said Yasuhisa Arai, executive at the Honda Research Institute in Japan, the company’s research unit. ―Practical uses are still way into the future.‖B. Among the challenges for this brain technology is making the reading-device smaller so it can be portable, according to Honda.C. After several seconds, Asimo, programmed to respond to these brain signals, lifted its right arm.D. Honda succeeded in analysing these thought patterns, and then relayed them as wireless commands to Asimo, its human-shaped robot.Section D (10marks)Being an introvert is a bad thing, right? Well, a lot of people seem to think so, judging by the number of articles I’ve read about how to ―cure‖ introversion.

(76)The Obama administration acknowledges the problems in its new budget, which includes a ＄50 million prevention programme, but solving this problem will require a lot more money and a comprehensive national strategy.The alarming scope of the dropout crisis is laid out by the Center for Labor Market Studies at Northeastern University in Boston and the Alternative Schools Network in Chicago. (77)Their study, which examines data from the 12 largest states, finds that 16 percent of people from the ages of 16 to 24 have dropped out.(78) The problem is especially pronounced among men, who make up more than 60 percent of those who change school nationally. The dropout problem hits minorities really hard.(79) Many of this country ’s large urban high schools are rightly called ―dropout factories ‖ because more students leave school than graduate. According to the study, state dropout rates are highest in the South, where Gerorgia (22.1 percent), Florida (20.1 percent) and Texas (18.5 percent) lead the way. (80) The dropout crisis presents a clear danger to national prosperity, but at the moment, states and localities are struggling to contain it with little help or guidance from the federal government. Congress, which is just waking up to this issue, can improve the situation by the putting its money and muscle behind proven programmes that have been shown to re-engage young people who have dropped out, and that keep at-risk children on track to complete their educations.Section B (10 marks)Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in brackets.

Section B(10 marks) The giant panda,the creature that has become a symbol of conservation ,is facing extinction. The major reason is loss of habitat, which has contitued despite the establishment of 14 panda reserves . Deforestation , mainly carried out by farmers clearing land to make way for fields as they move higher into the mountains,has drastically contracted the mammal ’s range. The panda has disappeared from much of central and eastern China, and is now restricted to the eastern flank of the Himalayas.Satellite imagery has shown the seriousness of the situation ; almost half of the panda ’s habitat has been cut down or degraded since 1975.Worse ,the surviving panda population has also become fragmented; a combination of satellite imagery and ground surveys reveals panda ―islands islandsǁǁ in patches of forest separated by cleared land. The population of these islands has become isolated because the animals are loath to cross open areas .Just putting road through panda habitat may be enough to split a population in two.

Other measures include better control of poaching, reducing the degradation of habitats outside reserves, and reforestation. The plan is ambitious. Implementation will be expensive and will require participation by individuals ranging from villagers to government officials.

Section D (10marks) Being an introvert is a bad thing, right? Well, a lot of people seem to think so, judging by the number of artic I’I’ve read about how to ve read about how to ―cure cureǁǁ introversion. In response to these articles, I wrote The Introverts Strike Back, in which I argued that i ntroverts can’introverts can’t become extraverts, and they shouldnt become extraverts, and they shouldn ’t particularly want to. However, However, I’I’I’m not here to debate whether it m not here to debate whether it ’s better to be an introvert to an extravert. The fact is, we all have to interact interact with with with both both both types types types of of of people people people every every every day. day. Regardless Regardless of of of which which which type type type you you you are, are, are, you you you can can can greatly greatly greatly improve improve improve your your relationships by learning to get along better with people of the other type. Here are some tips for getting started. For Introverts: *Indicate to others when you’re busy. When an extravert sees you reading, writing, or maybe just thinking, he might assume that the only reason yo are doing this is because you don ’t have someone to talk to. So he thinks he ’s doing you a favor by striking up a conversation, when he ’s actually interrupting. To prevent this, be sure to give an indication that you’re in the middle of something and don ’t want to socialise right now . This can be a visual sign or verbal. I I know know know one one one person person person who who who tended tended tended to to to get a get a lot lot of of of visitors at visitors at work, work, and and and while while while he he he was was was actually actually actually an an an extravert, extravert, extravert, the the frequent visits were slowing him down too much. He put a sign on his door saying ―If I don ’t make eye contact or respond to you, I apologize. I’I’m not trying to be rude, I just have a lot of work to do. Thank you for understanding m not trying to be rude, I just have a lot of work to do. Thank you for understandingǁ While I don ’t think many people need to go that far, it certainly worked! *Realise that extraverts often need to talk. Because Because extraverts extraverts extraverts are are are more more more in in in touch touch touch with with with the the the external external external world, world, world, for for for them them them talking talking talking is is is something as something as necessary necessary as as breathing. They might think out loud by bouncing their thoughts off other people, and they might need to chat in orde to boost their energy. For For an an an introvert, introvert, introvert, this this this can can can be be be the the the most most most difficult difficult difficult part part part of of of dealing dealing dealing with with with an an an extravert. extravert. extravert. The The The same same same conversation conversation conversation that that energises the extravert also drains the introvert. However, keeping in mind that the extravert is not being intentionally malicious, the introvert has at least two options for handling this in a polite way. They can patiently participate in the conversation, conversation, and and and then, then, then, when when when it it it’’s s over, over, over, recharge recharge recharge by by by being being being alone. alone. alone.

For Extraverts: *Ask if someone is busy before spending time with them. If someone appears to be lonely, they might not be. Even if they ’re just sitting there and don ’t seem to be doing anything, they could be deep in thought and not want to be interrupted. If you need something, try to ask for it up front. Otherwise, look for clues that they might not feel like talking rig now , such as lack of eye contact. If they seem uninterested, don ’t take it personally. You just don ’t know what you ’re interrupting. *Understand what a draining effect a conversation can have on someone. No matter how fabulous a person you are, keep in mind that introverts simply prefer their internal world to the external external world. world. world. They They They might might might start start start off off off with with with a a a fully fully fully changed battery, changed battery, but but while while while they they they’’re engaged in in conversation, conversation, conversation, that that battery is steadily draining. How long it lasts depends on various factors, but be sure to keep an eye out for wh th they’ey’ey’re starting to lose interest. Be more to the point with introverts, and save most of your chatting for extraverts wh re starting to lose interest. Be more to the point with introverts, and save most of your chatting for extraverts wh will appreciate it more. Questions 71 to 74: Complete each of the following sentences with NO MORE THAN FIVE WORDS according to the passage. 71. Introverts are advised to to prevent interrupting when they are in the middle of something. 72. For extraverts, having a conversation with people can be as important as 73. An important clue that someone might not feel like talking with you right now is 74. It is necessary to remember that introverts tend to focus more on Question 75: Choose the best answer according to the passage. 75. What is the passage mainly about? A. Whether it is better to be an introvert or an extravert. B. How to get along with both introverts and extraverts. C. How to avoid embarrassment in conversations. D.

What is a best boy?M: Well, I am not sure why I am called a best boy exactly. But I like to think it is because I am the best at what Ido. The title is an American term, used to describe the assistant to the man who works with the cameraman and electricians on a film to make sure that the film is properly lit.W: So how do you spend your time?M: Basically what I do is work between the electrical department and production. I deal with the companies where the lights come from. And I am also there on the film site, making sure that everything runs smoothly, that the lighting is set up when the camera crew arrives to shoot the film. And then I also help with the budget. We have to do time sheets and things like that. It is mostly paper work really.W: When did you start working in the industry?M: About 15 years ago. I had been an electrician and my first few film jobs were basically electrical ones. Then I moved over to this.W: It sounds a rather complicated job to me.M: No, not really. I’ve never had to do anything out of the ordinary. But I enjoy it. It is a challenge.W: Is working on location a plus for you?M: You see some great places, but long working days and problems with production are far more common. There is a lot of responsibility with the job, because there is so much money involved. The long hours are very unsociable which is OK if you are single. But there is quite a lot of work abroad, which puts a lot of pressure on the family.W: What advise would you give to someone wanting to give it a try?M: You need a good head for mathematics, plus knowing how to mind the fields? So training as an electrician is the first step. Then you need some experience on a production floor.W: Where do you see yourself in the future?M: I like it where I am. I like working behind the scenes, and seeing how the production works. There are enough challenges in my present job for me.11．What does Alan say a best boy is?A．It is a young man he likes best.B．It is just the name of his job.C．It is a popular American film.正确答案：B12．How long has Alan been working in the industry?A．Fifteen years.B．Five years.C．Fourteen years.正确答案：A13．For Alan, what is a disadvantage of the job?A．Its heavy responsibility.B．The pressure on his family.C．The criticism he receives.正确答案：B14．For a job like this, what does Alan recommend doing, first of all?A．Receiving training as an electrician.B．Taking a course in mathematics.C．Working on production floor.正确答案：A15．What does Alan say about his future?A．He will get a more challenging job.B．He hopes to become a film producer.C．He will continue doing the same job.正确答案：CSection C听力原文：One of the first major cities to celebrate the beginning of 2010 was the city of Australia.

I will try to be as brief aspossible. As I expect you’ve got your rights on the refreshments set at the back of the room which will be served the minute I finish. OK. Before I move on to the new model, I just like to say a very warm welcome to our new marketing manager, Jane Seimes, who joined us this month. We are very glad to have her onboard.Right, well, the regent itself, we started developing the regent as long ago as October 1999, using technology first design for our rally cars. Our engineers have worked extremely hard to bring a truly new car onto the market. Quality is guaranteed, by one of the most up-to-date production lines in the world, equipped with the lasers. They can work to a very high-level of accuracy. Now, of course, many or most drivers won’t be thinking about that. But I think they will be very grateful for the fact that the regent is extremely economical in terms of running costs. It has the best fuel consumption rate in its class. A lot of people say that all cars look the same these days. But that does not apply to the regent, with its special styling. And on top of that, it can be ordered in a large number of colors. More than any other car in this press range. OK, the official launch is next week. Our advertising campaign starts tomorrow. And I’ m very excited, because we are putting our main efforts into publicizing the model over the Internet. We feel we can affectively target our campaign in this way. I am very confident that the regent is going to sell very well indeed, and be part of super cars’ continuing success. Because it is small and easy to park, I think we will see our best sales in cities. Well, thank you for your attention.

The software system, devised by teams at Aberdeen and Dundee universities and the charity Capability Scotland, is the first of its kind, and will help children with learning difficulties and disabilities, such as cerebral palsy, converse in a quicker and more interactive way with family and friends. Sensors attached to wheelchairs, recording devices and swipe cards all gather information about a child’s movements and experiences at school during the day. 59. ______ “It allows a child to really tell a story,”said Dr. Ehud Reiter, of the University of Aberdeen’s school of natural and computing sciences. “ A lot of children are limited to using ‘ yes’ or ‘ no’ ,or very simple pictures, or phrases such as ‘I’m hungry’. This allows them much better communication , which is great for them and their parents. “Dr. Reiter said the children were fully in control of what information they shared and could edit what they say as and how they pleased. The computer system suggests topics for them to include in a narrative, such as lunch or swimming, but they choose what they wish to converse about, and can add comments such as “this was fun”and “that was boring”. The system has been tried out by pupils at Corseford School near Glasgow Sensors attached to the pupils’wheelchairs have tracked their movements around the school, and the teachers have used swipe cards to tell the computer who the child has met and what activity they have been involved in. All the information is formed into a narrative that can be played back to parents when the child returns home. A recording device is also put into the system which allows people who come into contact with the children to be given more detailed information about events during the day. Sue Williams, the head teacher at Corseford, said, “In the week we used the system, we found it very useful to pupils, teachers, doctors and parents alike. 60. ______”The research teams now plan to expand the software system to facilitate conversations in other settings, and also to see how it could be used to support children with different types of disability or communication problems.56．Why is the newly developed software system called a”pioneering technology”?正确答案：Because it is the first of this kind57．How does a disabled child usually express his ideas?正确答案：By using very simple language.58．What will be the use of the expanded software system?正确答案：To support children with different types of disability or communication problems.59．Choose the most appropriate of the following sentences that fit into the questions 59 to 60.A．The information is then turned into a narrative by a computer, which uses natural language generation to tell the story to parents when the child returns home.B．It allows children to take control of a conversation without having to rely on help from us.正确答案：A60．Choose the most appropriate of the following sentences that fit into the questions 59 to 60.A．The information is then turned into a narrative by a computer, which uses natural language generation to tell the story to parents when the child returns home.B．It allows children to take control of a conversation without having to rely on help from us.正确答案：BSection BTHE YOUNG TRA VELLER IN DUBLIN THE CUSTOM HOUSE Situated on the North bank of the River Liffey, bear Butt Bridge, this is one of Dublin’s finest public buildings, completed in 1791.

A new building to house the seed vaults will open in the summer at Wakehurst Place in Sussex. It will include an exhibition and provide a world resource for seed conservation, research and education. The total project costs is about ￡80 million. The Millennium Commission is providing a grant of up to ￡30 million and we are also particularly grateful to Orange plc whose early commitment was so crucial, and to the Wellcome Trust, the world’s largest medical research charity. Recognising the enormous contribution that plants make to successful remedies, the Trust has provided 9. 2 million towards the building itself which will be known as the Wellcome Trust Millennium Building. Much of the remaining cost will be sought from international funding agencies. Why do we need to conserve plants? Within fifty years, one quarter of the world’s plants could be condemned to extinction. Should this happen, many thousands of animals will disappear as well, but perhaps most importandy, the human cost will be huge. As well as providing staple food crops, plants are the source of a great many medicines, and form the principal supply of fuel and building materials in many parts of the world. They also protect the soil and help to regulate the climate. However, plants are often lost before we know anything about their potential benefits for society. Why do we need seed banks? We would always like plants and their and habitats to be conserved in the wild. Sadly, pressures on the environment are so great that it is not always possible to do this. Because we can’t always guarantee the safety of a plant in its natural environment, banking seeds provides an effective form of insurance. Seed banks are a very efficient and cost-effective means of conserving plant species because seeds occupy very little space and require little attention. Many thousands of seeds for each species are stored in a seed bank. Each seed represents a potential new plant. Life’s strength is in its diversity, so the greater variety of seeds we store for each species, the more we can guarantee that species’safe future. Aims of the millennium Seed Bank The project aims to collect and conserve seeds from the entire UK native seed-bearing flora by the year 2000. Through international collaboration the aim is to bank 24,000 species, principally from the world’s dry lands, by 2010. The project will also carry out research to improve all aspects of conservation, make seeds available for research and species reintroduction into the wild, and it aims to promote public interest in plant conservation.。

For each question, there are four choices marked A, B C and D. Y ou should decide on the best choice, then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Questions 46-49 are based on the following passage.Most sore throats are caused by an infection which treatment with antibiotics cannot cure. But with simple remedies the patient normally gets better in 4 or 5 days.Tonsillitis, however, usually starts with a sore throat which causes pain on swallowing. With children and some adults there may be a fever and the patient is obviously not feeling well. It may be possible to see white spots on the back of the throat. The neck may also swell, both of which are the normal response to infection.Sometimes a sore throat may occur with the common cold, and with influenza there may be dryness of the throat, pain on coughing and loss of voice.TREATMENTAspirin: To help relieve the pain on swallowing and (if there is one) the fever, use aspirin tablets dissolved in water, so that the patient can gargle before swallowing. Repeat the treatment every 4 hours.Drink: Encourage the patient to drink plenty of liquids.Food: Food should not be forced on a patient who does not want to eat.Steam: If there is pain in the throat on coughing, breathing in steam may help.CHILDRENYoung children, who may not be able to gargle, should be given aspirin dissolved in water every 4 hours at the right dose for their age.At one year: a single junior aspirin.At five years: half an adult aspirin.At eight years: one whole adult aspirin.WHEN TO SEE THE DOCTORIf the sore throat is still getting worse after 2 days.If the patient complains of earache.If the patient or parent is very worried.46. According to the passage, it would appear that most sore throats _________.A.require an immediate visit to a doctorB.respond quickly to treatment with an antibioticC.rarely turn out to be symptoms of serious illnessD.result in tonsillitis even when treated47.

Go over the passage quickly and answer the questions on the Answer Sheet.For questions 50-55, markY (for YES) if the statement agrees with the information given in the passage;N (for NO) if the statement contradicts the information given in the passage;NG (for NOT GIVEN) if the information is not given in the passage.For questions 56-59, complete the sentences with the information given in the passage.In 1945 leaders from 51 countries met in San Francisco, California, and organized the United Nations (often called the UN). World War II had just ended. Millions of people had died, and there was destruction everywhere. People hoped they could build a future of world peace through this new organization.The United Nations has four main goals and purposes:1.To work together for international peace and to solve international problems;2.To develop friendly relations among nations;3.To work together for human rights for everyone of all races, religions, and ofboth sexes;4.To build a center where nations can work together for these goals.Today almost every country in the world is a member of the UN. Each country has signed an agreement that says:1. All members are equal.2. All members promise to solve international problems in a peaceful way.3. No member will use force against another member.4. All members will help the UN in its actions.5.The UN will not try to solve problems within countries except to enforce international peace.Obviously, the United Nations has not been completely successful in its goals. There have been several wars since 1945. However, the organization has helped bring peace to some countries that were at war. It has helped people who left their countries because of wars. It has helped bring independence to colonies.The main United Nations organization is in New York City, but the UN has a “family” of other related organizations all over the world. These organizations try to provide a better life for everyone. One example is UNICEF, an organization that provides food, medical care, and many other services for poor children wherever they live. Another example is the World Health Organization, which develops medical programs all over the world.There are thousands of UN workers in developing countries. They work as planners to increase production in farming and industry. They provide medical services, improve education programs, and spread scientific information. They develop programs that provide jobs and better living conditions. They help countries control their population growth.The United Nations also holds large international conferences, where people meet to discuss important world issues. One conference was about the uses and ownership of oceans. Another was about women. There are also International Years. In these special years, people work together to improve situations and solve problems. One year was the International Year of the Child.For centuries countries have fought each other, and powerful countries have taken control of weaker ones. It is very difficult to persuade nations to live together in peace. Nevertheless, the United Nations is attempting to do this. It is the only organization thatSection C (10 marks)In this section, there is one passage followed by 5 questions. Read the passage carefully, and then answer the questions in as few words as possible (not more than 10 words). Remember to write the answers on the Answer Sheet.Questions 60-64 are based on the following passage.A language is a system of sounds, gestures, or characters used by humans to communicate their ideas and feelings. There are about 4,000 spoken languages in the world. Some are spoken by millions of people. Other languages have only a few speakers.All languages have rules for forming words and for ordering those words in sentences. In written languages, meaning is expressed through a system of characters and rules for combining those characters. In spoken languages, meaning is expressed through a system of sounds and rules for combining those sounds. Many deaf people use sign languages, in which gestures do the work of the sound system of spoken languages.Word order is more important in English than it is in some other languages, such as Russian. The sound system is very important in Chinese and in many languages spoken in West Africa.Languages are always changing, but they change very slowly. People invent new words for their language, borrow words from other languages, and change the meanings of words as needed. For example, the English word byte was invented by computer specialists in 1959. the English word tomato was borrowed from Nahuatl, and American Indian language spoken in Mexico. The English word meat once referred to food in general.There are several major language families in the world. The languages in each family are related, and scientists think they came from the same parent family. Language families come in different sizes. The Austronesian family contains at least 500 languages, including Pilipino, Malay, and Maori. The Basque language, spoken in northern Spain, is the only member of its language family.The Indo-European language family contains 55 languages, including English, German, Spanish, Russian, and Hindi.Another language family is Sino-Tibetan, which includes Chinese, Burmese, and Tibetan. The Afro-Asiatic family includes Arabic, Hebrew, and Amharic. There are about 150 American Indian languages spoken today. These languages have many differences and have been divided into more than 50 language families.People learn languages by listening, copying what they hear, and using the language. Most children learn their first languages easily, and sometimes other languages as well. Adults often must work harder at learning a second language. Questions: Section D (12 marks)In this section, there is one passage followed by a summary. Read the passage carefully and complete the summary below by choosing amaximum of three words from the passage to fill in each of the spaces, 65-70. Remember to write the answers on the Answer Sheet. Questions 65-70 are based on the following passage.Welcome to “Software World” --- bringing you the very latest information on what is currently available on CD-ROM. Are you a director or producer looking for an unusual actor to play a part in a new movie project, or with that special look for a newcommercial on TV? OK. The usual procedure would be to contact a theatrical agency, who would try and sell you the idea of using one of the actors listed on their books. Books? Too old-fashioned for you? Then get yourself a copy of this latest electronic database called “The Electronic Curtain”.The brainchild of casting agent Fred Harkney of the Better Talent Agency, he says he got the idea of an actor’s directory from his son playing computer games. Noting that junior had to type in the details of the characters in his favorite game, he realized he could do the same for the actors he represents. Eventually, he came to include information on nearly three quarters of the approximately 34,000 actors registered and looking for work in Britain. With some theatrical agencies boasting that theyrepresent over 500 performers, the need for this product is not hard to fathom. It can be a nightmare trying to remember just which actor has done what, or just what an actor can do. The database lists details of over 5,500 actors: TV shows they have appeared in, special skills they possess --- everything down to the color of their eyes and other distinguishing physical features. By entering the details of the type of person you are looking for, the database quickly locates only those persons with the particular qualities requested.One problem though, is that many actors feel it is too impersonal, and they could be missing out on much needed auditions for parts in theatrical shows. On the other hand, it might just get them that elusive job. The days of nervous nail-biting while waiting around to give an audition could well and truly be over. And all because of a small plastic disk. For product details ring this number now: 0171-379-60000. Summary:Part IV Cloze (15 minutes, 15 marks)Section A (5 marks)There are 5 blanks in the passage.

Remember to write the answers on the Answer Sheet.After my mother passed away, my dad tried even harder to stay healthy and active. Every morning, until the weather turned too cold, he swam in the turquoise pool in the complex where he lived. (86) Each day, no matter how he felt, he swam one more lap than the previous day, just to prove there was always room for improvement. Every few days he reported the new number of laps to me, pride edging his voice.By his late seventies, in spite of swimming and working six days a week, my dad had noticeably dwindled in strength and energy. By age eighty-one he was in poor health and had to retire. (87) He pretended he didn’t need to lean heavily on me for support as we walked slowly, and I pretended not to notice. His mind was clear, but congestive heart problems and disabling arthritis had worn him down. One day he said, “In case of an emergency, I do not wish to be kept alive by any extraordinary means. I’ve signed an official paper to this effect.” He smiled his wonderful, broad grin and said, “I’ve been blessed to have had your mother as my wife and you as my only child, and I’m ready to go.”Less than a month later he had a heart attack. In the emergency room, he again reminded his doctor and me of his wishes, but I couldn’t imagine, in spite of this latest crisis, that he wouldn’t always be saying, “Have I told you yet today that I adore you?”(88) He was miserable in intensive care; tubes seemed to come from every opening. But my dad still had his sense of humor, asking me, “Does this mean we can’t keep our lunch date tomorrow?” His voice faltered.“I’ll be here to pick you up and we’ll go someplace special,” I answered, a lump in my throat.(89) Dad refused to look at me for the first time in his life and turned toward the blank green wall next to his hospital bed. There was a painful silence between us. He said, “I don’t want you to remember me like this. Promise me you won’t, darling! And please go now --- I’m so miserable.Section B (7 marks)Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets. Remember to write the answers on the Answer Sheet.90. 她在阳光下只晒了一会儿，脸就开始变红了。
