The findings appear in the Journal of Consumer Research.Noelle Nelson, assistant professor of marketing and consumer behavior at the University of Kansas School of Business. She and her colleague Joseph Redden at the University of Minnesota tried to think outside the lunch box. “Something that was interesting to me is that some people get tired of things ___2___ very different rates. When you think about pop songs on the radio, some people must still be enjoying them and requesting them even after hearing them a lot. But a lot of other people are really sick of those same songs.” The difference, the r esearchers supposed, might have to do with memories of past consumption.The researchers tested the memory capacity of undergraduates. The students then viewed a repeating series of three classic paintings…like The Starry Night, American Gothic, and The Sc ream…or listened and re-listened to a series of three pop songs…or three pieces of classical music. Throughout the test, the participants were asked to rate their experience on a scale of zero to ten. “We found that people with larger capacities remembered more about the music or art, which led to them ___3___(get) tired of the music or art more quickly. So remembering more details actually made the participants feel like they’d experienced the music or art more often.” The findings suggest that marketers ___4___ cope with our desire for their products by figuring out ways to distract us and keep us from fully remembering our experiences. We could also trick ____5____ into eating less junk food by recalling the experience of a previous snack. As for kids easily bored, just tell them to forget about it—it might help them have more fun.Clearly if we are to participate in the society in which we live, we mustcommunicate with other people. A great deal of communicating is performed on a person-to-person basis by the simple means of speech. If we travel in buses, buy things in shops, or eat in restaurants, we are likely to have conversations ___6___ we give information or opinions, receive news or comment and very likely have our views ___7___(challenge) by other members of society.Face-to face contact is by no means the only form of communication and during the last two hundred years the art of mass communication ___8___(become) one of the dominating factors of current society. Two things, above others, have caused the enormous growth of the communication industry. Firstly, inventiveness has led to advances in printing, telecommunications, photography, radio and television. Secondly, speed has revolutionized the transmission and reception of communications___9___ local news often takes a back seat to national news, which itself is often almost eclipsed (失去优势) by international news.No longer is the possession of information restricted to a wealthy minority. In the last century the wealthy man with his own library was indeed fortunate, but today there are public libraries. Forty years ago, people used to go to the cinema, but now far more people sit at home and turn on the TV to watch a program that___10___(channel) into millions of homes…..【答案】1. the better2. at3. getting4. could /can5. ourselves6. where7. challenged8. has become9. so that 10. is being channeled【解析】【分析】这是一篇说明文。

The 51 a meat is cooked and served is most important and 52 served meal will often improve a child’s appetite.Never ask a child 53 he likes or dislikes a food and never 54 likes and dislikes in front of him or allow 55 else to do so. If the father says he hates fat meat or the mother refuses vegetables in the child’s hearing, he is56 to copy their words. Take it for granted that he likes everything and he probably 57 .Nothing healthful should be left out from the meal because of a 58 dislike. At meal times it is a good idea to give a child a small 59 and let him come back for a second helping rather than give him as 60 as he is likely to eat at all at once. Do not talk much to the child 61 meal times, but let him get on with his food, and do not 62 him to leave the table immediately after a meal, or he will soon learn to swallow his food 63 he can hurry back to his toys.

Our first acquaintance with them comes not from our mother’s __59__ or from our school-mates, __60__ from the book that we read, lectures that we hear, or the more formal conversation of __61__ educated speakers who are discussing some __62__ topic in a style appropriately elevated above the habitual __63__ of everyday life.

But the researchers found that teachers 53 identify a poor working memory and often describe children with this 54 as inattentive or less intelligent.Working memory is the 55 to hold information in your head and handle it mentally –––for example adding up two numbers spoken to you by someone else 56 using pen and paper or a calculator, or memorizing oral directions. Children at school need this 57 on a daily basis for a variety of tasks, such as following teachers' 58 or remembering sentences they have been asked to write down.The new 59 –––a combination of a checklist(清单)and computer program –––will enable teachers to identify and 60 children's memory ability in the classroom from as early as four-years-old. Although the tools have already been tested successfully in 35 schools across the UK and have been translated into 10 languages, this is the first time they have been made widely 61 .Teachers tend to 62 children with poor working memories as having attention problems or "dreamers", but the new test will allow them to screen children for the disorder. We are already beginning to see children in a different light, knowing more about the difficulties faced by children with weakened working memory. We realize that they are not 63 , inattentive or underachieving, but children who simply need a different approach. We think these new ways of learning can help both the teacher and the children to 64 complete their work.50. A. proposed B. processed C. produced D. proceeded51.

Reading Comprehension 15%Section AMore and more young women want to look beautiful. Young women’s desire to achieve the figure of a fashion model has an 50 form of expression in the problem of anorexia nervosa. Anorexia nervosa is a(n) 51 disorder which occurs largely among young girls; 52 , it is also found among some of the young women, and in some cases, among boys.Anorexia nervosa is 53 starvation attitudes toward food, and distorted (扭曲的) body image. 54 they are often extremely thin, anorexic girls believe that they are fat and are 55 on dieting. Their perceptions of their own bodies are very much distorted. They do not see themselves as thin but 56 , as fat. Most 57 of anorexia lose 25 percent or more of their body fat. Anorexia also causes them to become weak. From five to six percent of anorexics __58 _die from starvation.Anorexia, which means “without food”, seems to bequite 59 among young girls, although it was 60 a problem twenty years ago. The 61 of Anorexia is not known. Researchers are trying to find out its 62 but it is related to a psychological (心理的) need. One theory is that they want to avoid becoming an adult, since starvation can 63 down physical growth and the beginning of puberty(青春期). Another theory is that anorexia is related to refusal of the mother figure or to being the daughter of an overly protective and controlling mother. By being anorexic, the girl shows her ability to _64 _at least one aspect of her own life. In addition, researchers note that the problem may result in a wrong body image---the ideal of female beauty of being very thin. 50．A ．ordin ary B ．extreme C ．interest ing D ．everlasti ng 51．A ．acting B ．sleeping C ．studying D ．eating 52．A ．howe ver B ．furtherm ore C ．anyho w D ．therefore 53．A ．brought by B ．found in C ．regard ed as D ．characte rized by 54．A ．Beca use B ．When C ．Althou gh D ．If 55．A ．forced B ．willing C ．checke D ．fixedd 56．A ．rather B ．neverthel ess C ．further D ．even 57．A ．lovers B ．victims C ．women D ．patients 58．A ．greatly B ．strangely C ．actually D ．steadily 59．A ．strange B ．common C ．possibl e D ．often 60．A ．hardly B ．certainly C ．hopeful ly D ．exactly 61．A ．medi cine B ．truth C ．result D ．cause 62．A ．possi bility B ．opportun ity C ．necessi ty D. importance 63．A ．break B ．cut C ．slow D ．turn 64．A ．contr olB ．improveC ．buildD ．instructSection B 30%A Today’s dad spends more hours on childcare than a dad a generation ago. But he still lags behind the modern-day mom, even when her wages are equal, anew study reports. Researchers found that the number of hours a mother spent at work had no effect on the amount of time a father devoted to childcare during the week. Similarly, a mother’s income had very little influence on fathers’ involvement in childcare. On weekends, however, fathers spent more time with their children. Despite women’s increasing role in the labor market, most mothers remain the primary caregivers of young children on weekdays.Researchers found that fathers spent an average of 2.5 hours on a weekday and about 6 hours on a weekend day with their children. This included time spent playing together or doing schoolwork, personal care such as bathing and feeding. On weekdays, children spent one-third less time with their fathers than with their mothers, but on weekends the time gap closed and kids spent only 13% more time with their mothers than with their fathers. Children of women who made more money spent more time with their fathers on weekends, however. “The good news is that as women become equal contributing partners, the relative involvement of fathers does increase,” one researcher said. “The bad news is tha t men still do less on traditional women’s jobs —(taking care of) babies, dishes, etc.”In other findings, fathers with some college education spent 17 more minutes per weekday with their children than dads without any college education. Fathers whomade more money spent less time with children on weekdays, but the amount of time was fairly small. “Our findings suggest that although mothers still shoulder most parenting, fathers’ involvement relative to that of mothers appears to be on the increase,” the r esearchers conclude. “A ‘new father’ role is emerging on weekends in families.”65．The underlined word “This”in the second paragraph refers to _________.A．the study reported in the textB．the role a father plays in childcareC．time a father spends with his children on weekends D．time a father spends with his children during the whole week66．Which of the following explains a fathers’ increasing involvement in childcare?A．Women’s liberation movement.B．The kind of job women do.C．The kind of job fathers do. D． A mother’s income.67．Which of the following best summarizes the main idea of the text?A．Fathers are more involved but mothers are still main caregivers.B．Children need care from both parents in a family.C．Education is the key to the improvement of women’s good health and happiness.D．Women have become equal contributing partners of income in a family.68．Which of the words below best describes the researchers’ attitude towards a “new father” role?A．Surprised. B．Pleased.C．Disappointed. D．Dissatisfied.BYou can be proud of yourselves, even if you can only make one or two of these green changes. The goal here is to limit carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases, which are closely associated to the big problem of global-warming.69. What is the best title for the passage?A. Tips to Save MoneyB. Approaches to being Earth-FriendlyC. Strategies to End Global-WarmingD. Ways to Limit Carbon Dioxide70. According to the writer, what will happen if our PC is switched off when not in use?A. It will help to save a large amount of money.B. It will help to reduce a great deal of CO2.C. It will save the amount of oil that runs your car for a mile.D. It will be like planting 1.7 million acres of newtrees.71. Which strategies suggest recycling or reuse of things?A. Strategies 1 & 3.B. Strategies 2 & 5.C. Strategies 3 & 6.D. Strategies 4 & 5.72. What benefits do these strategies have in common?A. They all help reduce the use of energy like electricity.B. They all cut down the amount of the use of paper.C. They all result in producing less greenhouse gases.D. They all aid to preserve our trees and forest.CJust the mention of the TOEFL, GRE and GAMT exams brings a thought of long hours of dull paper work. But that idea is becoming increasingly out of date. As planned, computerized tests will begin next year which will bring a series of changes from test psychology to scoring techniques.From computer - equipped rooms, examinees will answer the questions on a computer. If they are sure about their choices, they can pass to the next question by pressing the entry(条目) “next”. Then another question will be randomly(任意地)selected from a vast test item bank and appear on the screen. After answering all the questions, examinees can choose the entry “quit” if they are not satisfied with theirperformance, or “score” if they want to see the result. Scores will be calculated immediately and appear on the screen. By that point, student's marks are official--there is no going back.Since they greatly shorten the painful waiting process-which used to be two or three months, computerized tests have won worldwide popularity. Besides, there will be no rushing to the registration offices( 登记处)for these exams. Computerized tests will be given every workday in an exam center with all three kinds of tests being held in the same room. All test takers need to do is to call the exam center and book their seats for a particular day.In addition it will become technically possible to apply new testing procedures. In the past，eachexaminee had the same set of test items despite differences in their ability. Under a computerized system, however, if the computer judges an answer is right, a question of a relatively difficult nature will follow. But if an examinee continues to give wrong answers and is judged as un-qualified by the computer system, he will be automatically denied the chance to go further in the test.73. Computerized tests allow the examinee to know their scores .A. immediately on a central computer for scoring test papersB. a few minutes after the exam with the help of a test center workerC. on the next day after they have taken theexamD. immediately after the exam by means of the same computer74. If an examinee is not satisfied with his performance .A. he can admit defeat and give it upB. he can ask the computer to give some adviceC. he can ask another chance within a few daysD. he is allowed to do it once again75. Under a computerized system, all of the following would be possible except that .A. different exams can be taken in the same roomB. one doesn’t need to rush to the registration officer for taking an examC. it will be much easier to pass an examinationD. one can take an exam almost at any time of the yearDA team of researchers from the University of California, San Francisco, reported that middle- aged men without wives were actually twice as likely to die during a 10 — year span as men with wives. It was the kind of news that swept through offices and watering holes —and it made people feel conceited or anxious, depending on their circumstances.Davis’s team had set out to examine the effect of various living arrangements on mortality (the number of death from a certain cause). Because of the buffering (缓冲作用) social support marriage is known to provide,Davis and her colleagues fully expected to find that men and women living alone did worst in survival rates. It came as some surprise, however, that in their study population, subjects who shared living quarters with people other than a spouse had the same lower survival rates as those who lived by themselves. 'The critical factor," Davis says, "seems to be the presence of a spouse."The lower survival rates for the spouseless were found primarily in men who were widowed(丧偶), separated or divorced, rather than in those who had never been married. Emotional and social factors probably played a role in higher mortality among the spouseless men. The researchers will analyze questionnaires that asked how frequently the men feltworried, nervous or poorly rested. But the team will also look at the causes of death; if the men without wives show higher rates of suicide or fatal accidents, it’s likely that emotional stress contributed to their higher mortality rate.Davis has already discovered that the married men reported a significantly higher level of well- being than those who weren’t married. So perhaps the explanation for their longer survival isn’t really so complicated. Because they are cared for by nurturing wives, they just plain feel happier than the other guys do. And what better reason than that for staying alive?76. What does the passage mainly discuss?A. The mortality of middle- aged men is closelyrelated to their well - being.B. The mortality of middle- aged men is directly proportional to their wives' survival rates.C. The mortality of middle- aged men is not inproportion to their divorce rates.D. The mortality of middle- aged men is closely related to their marriage condition.77. The news reported makes .A. the widowers happy and the widows worriedB. the married happy and the spouseless worriedC. the divorced happy and the separated worriedD. the widowed happy and the spouse worried78. It seems that in terms of survival rates .A. widowed men are easier to be hurt than widowed womenB. married men are easier to be hurt than married womenC. married women are easier to be hurt than married menD. widowed women are easier to be hurt than widowed men79. It can be predicted, while looking at the cause of death, researchers will .A. remove certain health factorsB. consider the circumstancesC. consider racial supportD. remove certain emotional factorsSection C 5%E80. _______In the 1960s, people asked about your astrological sign. In the 1990s, they wanted to know your website. These days, having a Web address is almost as important as a street address. You website is an electronic meeting place for your family, friends and potentially, millionsof people around the world. Best of all, you may not have to spend a cent. The Web is filled with all kinds of free services and all it takes is some time and creativity.81. _______Think of your home page as the starting point of your website. Like the table of contents of a book or a magazine, the home page is the front door. Your site can have one or more pages, depending on how you design it. While web pages vary greatly in their design andcontent, most use a traditional magazine layout. At the top of the page is a banner GRAPHIC. Next comes a greeting and a short description of the site. Pictures, texts, and links to other websites follow.82. _______Before you start building your site, do some planning. Think about whom the site is for and what you want to say. Next, gather up the material that you want to put on the site. Draw a rough layout on a sheet of paper. 83. _______While there are no rules you have to follow, there are a few things to keep in mind: start simply. If you are too ambitious at the beginning, you may never get the site off the ground. You can always add to your site. Less isbetter. Most people don’t like to read a lot of text online. Break it into small pieces. Smaller is better. Most people connect to the Internet with a modem. Since it can take a long time to download large image files, keep the file sizes small. Don’t put any material on your site unless you are sure you can do it l egally. Learn the Net’s Copyright Article for more about this.84. _______Now it’s time to roll up your sleeves and start building. Learning the Net Communities provides tools to help you build your site.第Ⅱ卷（45分）I.Translation 20%Directions: Translate the following sentences intoEnglish, using the words given in the brackets.1. 我不太喜欢吃甜的东西。

Cloze Test (15%)While some of the best professional big-wave surfers in the world looked out over 40-foot waves crashing onto the shores of Oahu’s Waimea Bay, the __50__ seemed disappointingly clear. The Quicksilver Invitation surfing competition had to be __51__. The waves were just too big.But on that same late-January day, relatively unknown big-wave rider Greg Russ had to be physically __52__ by lifeguards from launching out into the biggest surf in more than a decade.

But the K2 contest, and the growing popularity of extreme sports worldwide, has ___56___ questions about the financial and human consequence for athletes and rescuers who watch over them. For many, the incident at Waimea perfectly __57__ the dangers unleashed when big money, big egos, and big challenges are mixed.Although exact figures on how many extreme athletes exist are hard to come by, isolated statistical evidence __58__ a rapid increase. For example, the number of climbers __59__ to climb Alaska’s 20,300-foot Mt. McKinley ---the tallest peak in North America---increased from 695 in 1984 to 1100 in 1997.“It’s a numbers deal, and clearly there are more people getting hurt than therewere when I started doing__60__ 20 years ago,〞says Dan Burnett, a mission coordinator with the all-volunteer Summit County Search and Rescue Group in Colorado. “We’re responding in areas now that even four years ago I would have thought we didn’t need to check because __61__goes there.〞Some efforts have been made toward creating a(n) __62__ extreme-sports world.

Story of puppets is a play held in China Children’s TheaterB. the artists who have won prizes will perform magic tricksC. on March 5 there will be two plays for us to chooseD. the artists in the Beijing Peking Opera Troupe are from all over the country66. If a tourist wants to see a performance on March 15, he can call ______ to booka ticket.A. 86531043B. 65250123C. 66037255D. 6507181867. According to the text, which of the following statements is true?A. The director of the Story of Puppets combines different operas in it.B. Green Hat is based on a famous novel acted by some American artists.C. Top Acrobatic artists will present their performances around our country.D. The Beijing Peking Opera Troupe will give two performances with the same excerpts.(B)Australian scientists are trying to give kangaroo-style stomachs to cattle and sleep in order to cut the greenhouse gases they send out, which is thought to be responsible for global warming.Thanks to special bacteria in their stomachs, kangaroo flatulence (胃肠气胀) contains no methane (甲烷) and scientists want to transfer that bacteria to cattle and sheep who produce large quantities of the harmful gas.While the usual image of greenhouse gas pollution is a billowing smokestack (烟囱) pushing out carbon dioxide, farm animals' passing wind contribute a surprisingly high percentage of total emissions in some countries."Fourteen percent of emissions from all sources in Australia is from enteric methane from cattle and sheep," said Athol Klieve, a senior research scientist with the Queensland state government."And if you look at another country such as New Zealand, which has got a muchhigher agricultural base, they're actually up around 50 percent," he said.Researchers say the bacteria also makes the digestive process much more efficient and could potentially save millions of dollars in feed costs for farmers.But it will take researchers at least three years to isolate the bacteria, before they can even start to develop a way of transferring it to cattle and sheep.Another group of scientists, meanwhile, has suggested Australians should farm fewer cattle and sheep and just eat more kangaroos. And about 20 percent of health-conscious Australians are believed to eat the national symbol already."It's low in fat, it's got high protein levels and it's very clean in the sense that basically it's the free-range animal," said Peter Ampt of the University of New South Wales's institute of environmental studies.68. Scientists intend to put bacteria into cattle and sheep________.A. to prevent them from sending out harmful gasesB. to help Australian farmers to earn more moneyC. so that they can protect Australian ecosystemD. so that they can make full use of special bacteria69. Athol Klieve seems to believe that ________.A. cattle and sheep produce more carbon dioxideB. less cattle and sheep are raised in New ZealandC. farm animals are to blame for greenhouse gasesD. New Zealand has the most animals in the world70. The main idea of the text is to _____.A. discuss a better way to protect the eachB. warn farmers of the danger of animal wasteC. illustrate the possible solutions to pollutionD. present a recent study on global warming71. Which is NOT one of the advantages that Peter Ampt lists about kangaroos?A. it is rich in proteinB. it is low in fatC. it is cheaper than beefD. it is cleaner than sheep(C)When in doubt, cut that out! Yeah, yea, Doubting Thomas may have had a point in his day, and life may not be what you want it to be, but if you constantly doubt yourself, how can you accomplish anything?Where is your confidence? What possible good can come from taking the negative aspect of any situation and growing it into acceptance?Purpose of achievement is to attain a goal. So, if you set your goals and strive to get there, it should be assumed that you are moving toward your goal no matter what you are doing, right?When watching a football game, one of those great high school starter games, set to determine who starts when the real games begin, I noticed the coach called “defense〞only when the team was “protecting〞 their goal. As long as the team was fighting for more ground they played “offense (进攻)〞. Along the same lines, I’ve heard the phrase, “a strong defense requires a good offense.〞Simply put, if youconcentrate more on gaining ground than on protecting your goals, your accomplishments will be greater. Time spent protecting your goals is wasted time, when you could be working toward attaining your goals rather than preventing others from reaching their goal.In business, if you waste your time focusing on what your competitor is doing rather than working toward meeting your goals, you won’t get very far.Focus your attention on where you’re going. Don’t waste time worrying about where your competition is. You will gain ground while they are watching you. Smile as you reach your destination.72. The writer of the passage intends to tell us ________.A. a common rule in a football gameB. how to beat our competitorsC. how to overcome our doubts and achieve our goalsD. how to deal with doubt in our business7236. The author’s purpose of mentioning Doubting Thomas in the first paragraph is to ________.A. show that famous people change our lifeB. tell us to succeed we should not doubt ourselvesC. ask us to learn from successful peopleD. tell us it’s quite natural for people to doubt themselves74. The author suggests that in business we should ________.A. avoid too much competitionB. seek as much cooperation as possibleC. focus on our own goalsD. know our competitors as well as ourselves75. The passage is intended for ________.A. football playersB. coachesC. businessmenD. common readers76. ________ Freelance (自由职业者) is a word that goes back to medieval (中古世纪的) times when it was used to describe soldiers who sold their skills to those prepared to pay their market rate. Today it’s an increasingly common way of working for people in a range of occupations and appeals to many who feel constrained by corporate culture.77. ________ What you gain is freedom of movement; what you can lose is a sense of belonging. You can end up feeling isolated from normal support networks, because suddenly you are responsible for your own welfare, training, safety, careerdevelopment, equipment, professional updating and a thousand other things, it is easy to remain unaware of these things in the relatively cosseted existence of full-time employment. So before you leap up into this exciting and potentially rewarding way of working, stand back and take a look at the risks.78. ________ Freelancing has always been a common way of working for writers, artists and performers, but the range of occupations with a substantial number of freelancers is growing steadily. Anyone with a marketable skill can choose to go it alone. Websites offer a free directory listing for those with skills to sell. Their categories include accountants, healthcare consultants, landscape architects and computer trainers. Areas of work that have problems recruiting staff are always keen to employ freelancers.79. ________ Being a freelance is different from other forms of self-employment —you still work for an employer or several employers but have to develop a completely different set of relationships with them. Employers are now your customers, you are their supplier. You have to become indispensable (不可缺少的) to them, providing solutions to their problems, some of which they may not even realized they had. In many ways you have to behave like their dream employee, being more willing and available than you may have got used to whilst in a “proper job〞.80. ________ You also have to be aware of, and sensitive to, the fact that you can be seen as a threat by your customer’s conventional employees, who may regard you as taking work they could do. Successful freelancing relies on the co-operation of everyone you come into contact with. Work that brings you into conflict with an existing workforce can be more troublesome than it’s worth.(E)A popular saying goes, “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.〞However, that’s not really true. Words have the power to build us up or tear us down. It doesn’t ma tter if the words come from someone else or ourselves — the positive and negative effects are just as lasting.We all talk to ourselves sometimes. We’re usually too embarrassed to admit it, though. In fact, we really shouldn’t be because more and more expe rts believe talking to ourselves out loud is a healthy habit.This “self-talk〞 helps us motivate ourselves, remember things, solve problems, and calm ourselves down. Be aware, though, that as much as 77% of self-talk tends to be negative. So in order to stay positive, we should only speak words of encouragement to ourselves. We should also be quick to give ourselves a pat on the back. The next time you finish a project, do well in a test, or finally clean your room, join me in saying “Good job!〞Often, words come out of our mouths without us thinking about the effect they will have. But we should be aware that our words cause certain responses in others. For example, when returning an item to a store, we might use warm, friendly languageduring the exchange. And the clerk will probably respond in a similar manner. Or harsh and critical language will most likely cause the clerk to be defensive.Words possess power because of their lasting effect. Many of us regret something we once said. And we remember unkind words said to us! Before speaking, we should always go through a “ask-yourself〞 test: Is it true? Is it loving? Is it needed? If what we want to say doesn’t pass this test, then it’s better left unsaid.Words possess power: both positive and negative. Those around us receive encouragement when we speak positively. We can offer hope, build self-esteem and motivate others to do their best. Negative words destroy all those things. Will we use our words to hurt or to heal? The choice is ours.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN 10 WORDS.)81. As to the power of words, the author believes they can either ___________________.82. People should only speak words of encouragement to themselves to ___________________.83. What does the underlined part “give ourselves a pat on the back〞 mean?84. What should we do if the “ask-yourself test〞 is not passed?1. 这个新建的在市中心，交通十分便捷。

Instead of being made of nails and bolts like 23)_________ machines, they are made of molecules. Instead of measuring in meters or centimeters, they measure in nanometers –– one billionth of a meter –– much thinner than a human hair.But this was achieved neither 24)__________, nor alone.Back in 1983, Sauvage, who is now a retired professor at the University of Strasbourg, France, started doing the research. He managed to join two ring-shaped molecules together to form a chain. The work is so hard and 25)__________that The Guardian describes it as like “building a Lego castle in the dark with boxing gloves”.If what Sauvage had done was building the body of a car, what Stoddart managed to do 10 years later in 1991 was adding wheels to the car. Stoddart, who now works at Northwestern University, US, developed a(n) 26)_________ known as “rotaxanes”, which meant that a ring of atoms could move around an axle.And just like a car, the molecular machine needs a(n) 27)________ to run. So in 1999, Feringa, of the University of Groningen in the Netherlands, became the first person to create a(n) 28)_________ molecular motor powered by electricity.But what is the use of a machine so small that we can’t even see it? According to scientists, the machines can benefit various fields like the creation of new materials and medical treatment methods.“There are 29)___________ opportunities,” Feringa told Reuters. “Think of a tiny micro-robot that a doctor in the future will inject into your blood and it will go to search for a cancer cell or 30)__________ a drug, for instance.”III.

Oscar-winning actor and longtime environmental ___37___ Leonardo DiCaprio has also co-produced a film about climate change, Before the Flood, which is going to be released on Oct 21 in the US.Technology may be one of the reasons, since shooting a nature film used to be ___38___ and dangerous. Photographers sometimes have to wait in the wild for hours just for the ___39___ animal to show up, and they may even have to risk their lives to capture a hunting scene.Now things are getting easier. For example, the Planet Earth team developed a new camera system. It allows cameras to stay stable even when they are placed on ___40___ or a running animal. This means that photographers are able to get a clear shot even from a distance away.The reality that Earth is faced with increasing environmental problems has also played a part in the ___41___ of nature films. In fact, this can be seen from the changes in Perrin’s storytelling.I n Seasons, Perrin’s poetic storytelling turns ___42___ and contains warnings about the dangers of humans turning their backs on nature.“The film reinforces the idea that man versus nature is an unnecessary idea, as we’re part of what we’re destroying,” wrote Lee Marshall on film review site ScreenDaily.31.

上海市七宝中学2024-2025学年高三上学期第一次月考英语试题

上海市七宝中学2024-2025学年高三上学期第一次月考英语试题一、语法填空Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passages coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.Most of the people who appear most often and most gloriously in the history books are great conquerors and generals and soliders, while the people 1 (help) civilization forward are often never mentioned at all. We do not know who first set a broken leg, or launched a seaworthy boat or calculated the length of the year, or manured (施肥) a field; but we know all about the killers and destroyers.People think a great deal of them, so much that on all the highest pillars (纪念柱) in the great cities of the world you will find the figure of a conqueror or a general or a solider. And I think most people believe that the greatest countries are 2 that have beaten in battle the greatest number of other countries and ruled over them as conquerors. It is just possible they are, but they are not 3 (civilized). Animals fight; so 4 savages (野蛮人); so to be good at fighting is to be good in the way in which an animal or a savage is good, but it is not to be civilized. Even being good at getting other people to fight for you and telling them how to do it most efficiently — this, after all, is 5 conquerors and generals have done — is not being civilized. People fight 6 (settle) quarrels. Fighting means killing, and civilized peoples ought to be able to find some ways of settling their disputes other than by seeing which side 7 kill off greater number of the other side, and then saying that the side which has killed most 8 (win). It means 9 (say) that power is right.This is what the story of mankind has on the whole been like. Even our own age has fought the two greatest wars,10 millions of people were killed or disabled. And while today it is true that people do not fight and kill each other in the streets while, that is to say, we have got to the stage of keeping the rules and behaving properly to each other in daily life-nations and countries have not learnt to do this yet, and still behave like savages.二、选词填空Directions: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.Only two countries in the advanced world provide no guarantee for paid leave from work to care for a newborn child. Last spring one of the two, Australia, gave up the bad distinction by setting up paid family leave starting in 2011. I wasn’t surprised when this didn’t make the news here in the United States - we’re now the only wealthy country without such a policy.The United States does have one explicit family policy, the Family and Medical Leave Act, passed in 1993. It 11 workers to as much as 12 week’s unpaid leave for care of a newborn or dealing with a family medical problem. Despite the 12 of the benefit, the Chamber of Commerce and other business groups fought it bitterly, describing it as “government-run personnel management” and a “dangerous precedent (先例)”. In fact, every step of the way, as (usually) Democratic leaders have tried to introduce work-family balance measures into the law, business groups have been strongly 13 .As Yale law professor Anne Alstott, argues, 14 parental support depends on defining the family as a social good that, in some sense, society must pay for. Parents are 15 in many ways in their lives: there is “no exit” when it comes to children. Society expects parents to provide their children with continuity of care, meaning the 16 and intimate care that human beings need to develop their intellectual, emotional and moral capabilities. And society expects parents to persist in their roles for 18 years, or longer if needed.While most parents do this out of love, there are public punishments for not providing care. What parents do, in other words, is of deep 17 to the state, for the obvious reason that caring for children is not only 18 urgent but important to the future of society. The state recognizes this in the large body of family laws that govern children’s welfare, yet parents receive little help in meeting the life-changing obligations society 19 . To classify parenting as apersonal choice for which there is no collective responsibility is not merely to ignore the social benefits of good parenting, really, it is to steal those benefits because they accrue (累积) to the whole of society as today’s children become tomorrow’s citizens. In fact, by some 20 , the value of parental investments in children, investments of time and money, is equal to 20%-30% of GDP. If these investments bring huge social benefits-as they clearly do-the benefits of providing more social support for the family should be that much clearer.三、完形填空Before 1815 manufacturing in the United States had been done in homes or shops by skilled artisans. As master craft workers, they imparted the knowledge of their trades to apprentices (学徒) and journeymen (熟练工). 21 women often worked in their homes part-time, making finished articles from raw material supplied by merchant capitalists. After 1815 this older form of manufacturing began to 22 factories with machinery tended by unskilled or semiskilled laborers. 23 transportation networks, the rise of cities, and the availability of capital and credit all stimulated the shift to factory production.Apprentices were considered part of the family, and masters were responsible not only for teaching their apprentices a trade but also for providing them with some education and for 24 their moral behavior. Journeymen knew that if they 25 their skill, they could become respected master artisans with their own shops. Also, skilled artisans did not work by the clock.The factory changed that. Goods produced by factories were not as finished or elegant as those done by hand, and pride in craftsmanship gave way to the 26 to increase rates of productivity. The new methods of doing business involved a new and stricter sense of time. Absenteeism and lateness hurt productivity and, since work was specialized, 27 the regular factory routine. Industrialization not only produced a fundamental change in the way work was organized; it 28 the very nature of work.The first generation to experience these changes did not adopt the new attitudes easily. The factory clock became the symbol of the new work rules. One mill worker who finally 29 complained revealingly about “obedience to the ding-dong of the bell-just as though we are so many living machines.” With the 30 of personal freedom also came the loss of standingin the community. Unlike artisan workshops in which apprentices worked 31 with the masters supervising them, factories sharply separated workers from management. Few workers rose through the ranks to supervisory positions, and even well-paid workers sensed their 32 in status.In this newly emerging economic order, workers sometimes organized to protect their rights and traditional ways of life. The labor movement gathered some momentum (动力，势头) in the decade before the Panic of 1837, but in the depression that followed, labor’s strength 33 . During hard times, few workers were willing to strike or 34 collective action. And skilled craft workers, who led the union movement, did not feel a particularly strong bond with semiskilled factory workers and unskilled laborers. More than a decade of agitation (激烈争论) did finally bring a workday shortened to 10 hours to most industries by the 1850s’, and the courts also recognized workers’ right to strike, but these 35 had little immediate impact. 21．A．Otherwise B．Moreover C．However D．Therefore 22．A．give way to B．make up for C．get rid of D．end up with 23．A．Expensive B．Public C．Difficult D．Cheap 24．A．displaying B．supervising C．respecting D．predicting 25．A．shared B．assessed C．perfected D．applied 26．A．pressure B．hatred C．freedom D．disappointment 27．A．followed B．broke C．established D．fixed 28．A．ignored B．demanded C．guaranteed D．transformed 29．A．succeeded B．recovered C．quitted D．revenged 30．A．restoration B．change C．loss D．protection 31．A．closely B．efficiently C．independently D．diligently 32．A．stability B．independence C．decline D．security 33．A．maintained B．developed C．returned D．collapsed 34．A．protest against B．give up C．account for D．engage in 35．A．emphases B．limits C．evidences D．gains四、阅读理解The person who set the course of my life was a school teacher named Marjorie Hurd. When I stepped off a ship in New York Harbor in 1949, I was a nine-year-old war refugee, who had lost his mother and was coming to live with the father he did not know. My mother, Eleni Gatzoyiannis, had been imprisoned and shot for sending my sisters and me to freedom.I was thirteen years old when I entered Chandler Junior High. Shortly after I arrived, I was told to select a hobby to pursue during “club hours.” The idea of hobbies and clubs made no sense to my immigrant ears, but I decided to follow the prettiest girl in my class. She led me into the presence of Miss Hurd, the school newspaper adviser and English teacher.A tough woman with salt-and-pepper hair and determined eyes, Miss Hurd had no patience with lazy bones. She drilled us in grammar, assigned stories for us to read and discuss, and eventually taught us how to put out a newspaper. Her introduction to the literary wealth of Greece gave me a new perspective on my war-tom homeland, making me proud of my origins. Her efforts inspired me to understand the logic and structure of the English language. Owing to her inspiration, during my next twenty-five years, I became a journalist by profession.Miss Hurd retired at the age of 62. By then, she had taught for a total of 41 years. Even after her retirement, she continually made a project of unwilling students in whom she spied a spark of potential. The students were mainly from the most troubled homes, yet she alternately bullied and charmed them with her own special brand of tough love, until the spark caught fire.Miss Hurd was the one who directed my grief and pain into writing. But for Miss Hurd, I wouldn’t have become a reporter. She was the catalyst that sent me into journalism and indirectly caused all the good things that came after.36．Which of the following caused the author to think of his homeland differently?A．Stepping on the American soil for the first time.B．Her mother’s miserable deathC．Being exposed to Greek literary works.D．Following the prettiest girl in his class. 37．It can be inferred from Paragraph Four that ________.A．Miss Hurd’s contribution was recognized across the nation.B．Students from troubled homes preferred Miss Hurd’s teaching styleC．The students Miss Hurd taught were all finally firedD．Miss Hurd employed a unique way to handle these students38．The passage is mainly concerned with ________.A．how the author became a journalist B．the importance of inspiration in one’s life C．the teacher who shaped the author’s life D．factors contributing to a successful careerWhen you first arrive in Oxford，it may take a little while for you to find your way around. The university is a large organization that is fully integrated into the city and has been evolving for 800 years. Some of the first things our students do when they arrive include finding a bike ( most students in Oxford find cycling is the best way to go around), setting up a bank account , getting their computer and mobile phone working , finding their department, getting to know their college and working out the best places to socialize.One of the major events you will experience shortly after "coming up" to Oxford is matriculation. Matriculation is held at the University's Sheldonian Theatre and is the ceremony at which you are formally admitted to the university.International students are invited to an orientation day at the start of the academic year. Sessions run throughout the day that will give you practical information about living and studying in UK and introduce you to other graduate students from all over the world who are starting their studies at Oxford at the same time as you , as well as to current Oxford graduate students and staff who will be able to help and advise you . The day covers topics such as studying and learning in the Oxford system, University services, information on living in Britain and culture differences, as well as addressing practical issues such as employment, immigration and visas, health and safety. You can choose which talks to attend and at the end of the day there is a social hour so you can meet fellow student.Another good thing to experience early on is college dining. Most colleges have a tradition of regular formal hall dinners, which consist of three or four courses and the atmosphere of an evening out in a nice restaurant. On some of these occasions you can invite people around to your college for dinner and then they may return the favor. In this way you can get to know people studying your own and other subjects at the same time as visiting many often historical college grounds and dining halls.Further information on your first few weeks at Oxford is available via the Students Gateway on our website and you can get first-hand accounts of what life at Oxford is like bywatching videos of students talking about their experiences on our Wall of 100 Faces. 39．Which of the following is not the first thing for a newcomer to Oxford to do_______？A．to find a best place to socializeB．to set up a bank accountC．to go to the Sheldonian TheatreD．to get mobile phone working40．When do students feel they are truly admitted to Oxford University______？A．They arrived in Oxford and settled down on campus．B．They received the offer from the admission office．C．They met the staff and took some required courses．D．They experienced the matriculation in the university．41．Why is an orientation important for international students？A．It is a good chance to ask the staff for help．B．It offers practical information about living and studying．C．It helps get students' computers hooked to the Internet．D．It can help deal with the problem of culture differences．42．"Return the favor"in the passage probably means___．A．inviting you for dinnerB．visiting your historic college in returnC．sharing favorite videosD．providing you with some good advice．In the college-admissions wars, we parents are the true fighters. We’re pushing our kids to get good grades, take SAT preparatory courses and build resumes to they can get into the college of our first choice. I’ve twice been to the wars, and as I survey the battlefield, something different is happening. We see our kids’ college background as a prize demonstrating how well we’ve raised them. But we can’t acknowledge that our obsession is more about us than them. So we’ve come up with various justifications that turn out to be half-truths, prejudices or myths. It actually doesn’t matter much whether Aaron and Nicole go to Stanford.We have a full-blown prestige panic; we worry that there won’t be enough prizes to goaround. Fearful parents urge their children to apply to more schools than ever. Underlying the hysteria (歇斯底里) is the belief that scarce elite degrees must be highly valuable. Their graduates must enjoy more success because they get a better education and develop better contacts. All that is plausible--and mostly wrong. We haven’t found any convincing evidence that selectivity or prestige matters. Selective schools don’t systematically employ better instructional approaches than less selective schools, On two measures- professors’ feedback and the number of essay exams selective schools do slightly worse.By some studies, selective schools do enhance their graduates’ lifetime earnings. The gain is considered at 2-4% for every 100-point increase in a school’s average SAT scores. But even this advantage is probably a statistical fluke (偶然). A well-known study examined students who got into highly selective schools and then went elsewhere. They earned just as much as graduates from higher-status schools.Kids count more than their colleges. Getting into Yale may signify intelligence, talent and ambition. But it’s not the only indicator and its significance is declining. The reason: so many similar people go elsewhere. Getting into college is not life’s only competition. In the next competition--the job market and graduate school-the results may change. Old-boy networks are breaking down. Princeton economist Alan Krueger studied admissions to one top Ph.D．program. High scores on the GRE helped explain who got in; degrees of prestigious universities didn’t.So, parents, lighten up. The stakes (风险) have been vastly exaggerated. Up to a point, we can rationalize (合理化) our pushiness. America is a competitive society; our kids need to adjust to that. But too much pushiness can be destructive. The very ambition we impose on our children may get some into Harvard but may also set them up for disappointment. One study found that, other things being equal, graduates of highly selective schools experienced more job dissatisfaction. They may have been so conditioned to being on top that anything less disappoints. 43．Why does the author say that parents are the true fighters in the college-admissions wars?A．They have the final say in which university their children are to attend.B．They know best which universities are most suitable for their children.C．They care more about which college their children go to than the children themselves.D．They have to carry out intensive surveys of colleges before children make an application. 44．What does the author mean by “kids count more than their colleges” Line 1, para.4?A．Continuing education is more important to a person’s success.B．Kids’ actual abilities are more important than their college background.C．A person’s happiness should be valued more than their education.D．What kids learn at college cannot keep up with job market requirements.45．What does Krueger’s study tell us?A．Getting into Ph.D．programs may be more competitive than getting into college.B．Graduates from prestigious universities do not care much about their GRE scores.C．Connections built in prestigious universities may be sustained long after graduation.D．Degrees of prestigious universities do not guarantee entry to graduate programs. 46．According to the passage, one possible result of pushing children into elite universities is that ________.A．they experience more job dissatisfaction after graduationB．they earn less than their peers from other institutionsC．they turn out to be less competitive in the job marketD．they overemphasize their qualifications in job applicationDirections: Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.In business, there is a speed difference: It’s the difference between how important firm leaders say speed is to their competitive strategy and how fast the company actually moves. The difference is important regardless of industry and company size. 47In our study of 343 businesses, the companies that choose to go, go, go to try to gain an edge ended up with lower sales and operating incomes than those that paused at key moments to make sure they were on the right track. What’s more, the firms that “slowed down to speed up “improved their top and bottom lines, averaging 40% higher sales and 52% higher operating incomes over a three-year period.48 They thought differently about what “slower” and “faster” mean. Firms sometimes fail to understand the difference between operation speed (moving quickly )and strategic speed (reducing the time it takes to deliver value ).Simply increasing the speed of production, for example ,may be one way to try to reduce the speed difference .But that oftenleads to reduced value over time, in the form of lower-quality products and services.In our study, higher-performing companies with strategic speed always made changes when necessary. They became more open to ideas and discussion. 49 And they allowed time to look back and learn. By contrast, performance suffered at firms that moved fast all the time, paid too much attention to improving efficiency, stuck to tested methods, didn’t develop team spirit among their employees, and had little time thinking about changes.Strategic speed serves as a kind of leadership. 50 That kind of strategy must come from the top.A．How did they disobey the laws of business physics, taking more time than competitors yet performing better?B．Teams that regularly take time to get things right, rather than plough ahead full bore, are more successful in meeting their business goals.C．More haste, less speed, which in the study proves wrong.D．Companies fearful of losing their competitive advantage spend much time and money looking for ways to pick up the speed.E．They valued efficiency rather than consideration.F．They encouraged new ways of thinking.五、书面表达51．Directions: Read the following three passages. Summarize the main idea and the main point (s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.It is found that American students spend less than 15% of their time in school. While there’s no doubt that school is important, a number of recent studies remind us that parents are even more so. A study published earlier this month by researchers at North Carolina State University, for example, finds that parental involvement-checking homework, attending school meetings and events, discussing school activities at home — has a more powerful influence on students’ academic performance than anything about the school the students attend.So parents matter. But it is also revealed in researches that parents, of all backgrounds, don’t need to buy expensive educational toys or digital devices for their kids in order to give theman advantage. What they need to do with their children is much simpler: talk.But not just any talk. Recent research has indicated exactly what kinds of talk at home encourage children’s success at school. For example, a study conducted by researchers at the UCLA School of Public Health found that two-way adult-child conversations were six times as potent in promoting language development as the ones in which the adult did all the talking.Engaging in this back-and-forth gives children a chance to try out language for themselves, and also gives them the sense that their thoughts and opinions matter.The content of parents’ conversations with kids matters, too. Children who hear talk about counting and numbers at home start school with much more extensive mathematical knowledge. While the conversations parents have with their children change as kids grow older, the effect of these exchanges on academic achievement remain strong. Research finds that parents play an important role in what is called “academic socialization” — setting expectations and making connections between current behavior and future goals. Engaging in these sorts of conversations has a greater impact on educational accomplishment._______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _六、翻译52．意识到犯了大错，我马上向在场所有的人表达了诚挚的歉意。

And on the Internet, the hour of the day and the day of the week have become irrelevant. A half century ago in the United States, most people experienced strong and precise dividing lines between days of rest and days of work, school time and summer time. Today the boundaries still 41__, but they seem not clear.The law in almost all states used to require stores to close on Sunday; in most, it no longer _42__ . It used to keep the schools open in all seasons except summer; in most, it still does. And whether the work week should strengthen its legal limits, or whether it should become more 43__ is often debated. How should we, as a society, organize our time? Should we go even further in 44__ the boundaries of time until we live in a world in which every minute is much like every other?These are not easy questions even to ask. Part of the difficulty is that we 45__ recognize the “law of time” even when we meet it face to face. We know as children that we have to attend school a certain number of hours, a certain number of days, a certain number of years —but unless we meet the truant officer(学监), we may well think that we should go to school due to social 46__ and parents’ demand rather to the law. As adults we are familiar with “extra pay for overtime working.” but less familiar with the fact that what constitutes “overtime” is a matter of legal __47__. When we turn the clock 48__ to start daylight-saving time, have we ever thought to ourselves, “ Here is the law in action?” As we shall see, there is a lot of law that has great influence on how to organize and use time: compulsory education law, __49__ law, and daylight-saving law –- as well as law about Sunday closing, holidays, being late to work, time zones, and so on. Once we begin to look for it, we will have no trouble finding a law of time to examine and access.III.

This is the research finding of a team of Japanese doctors, who say that most of our brains are not getting enough exercise----and as a result, we are getting old unnecessarily soon.Professor Taiju Matsuzawa wanted to find out why otherwise healthy farmers in northern Japan appeared to be losing their ability to think and reason at a relatively early age, and how the process of aging should be slowed down.With a team of colleagues at Tokyo National University, he set about measuring brain volumes of a thousand people of different ages and varying occupations.Computer technology enabled the researchers to obtain precise measurements of the volume of the front and side sections of the brain, which relate to intellect and emotion, and determine the human character. The rear section of brain, which controls functions like eating and breathing，does not contract with age, and one can continue living without intellectual or emotional faculties.Contraction of front and side parts as cells die off was observed in some subjects in their thirties, but it was still not evident in some sixty and seventy-year-olds. Those least at risk, says Matsuzawa, are lawyers, followed by university professors and doctors. White collar workersdoing routine work in government offices are, however, as likely to have shrinking brains as farm workers, bus drivers and shop assistants.Matsuzawa’s findings show that thinking can prevent the brain from shrinking. Blood must circulate properly in the head to supply the fresh oxygen the brain cells need. “The best way to maintain good blood circulation is through using the brain,” he says,“ Think hard and engage in conversation. Don’t rely on pocket calculators.”65. The team of doctors wanted to find out _ ___.A. why certain people age sooner than othersB. how to make people live longerC. the sizes of certain people’s brainsD. which people are most intelligent66. On what are their research finding based?A. A survey of farmers in northern Japan.B. Tests performed on a thousand old people.C. The study of brain volumes of different people.D. The latest development of computer technology.67. The doctor’s test shows that _ ___.A. our brains shrink as we grow oldB. the front section of the brain does not shrinkC. sixty-year-olds have better brains than thirty-year oldsD. brain contraction may vary among people of the same age68. The underlined word “subjects” in Paragraph 5 means ___ _.A. something to be consideredB. branches of knowledge studiedC. persons chosen to be studied in an experimentD. any member of a state except the supreme ruler（B）King’s College Summer SchoolKing’s College Summer School is an annual training program for high school students at all levels who want to improve their English. Courses are given by the teachers of King’s College and other colleges in New York. Trips to museums and culture centers are also organized. This year’s summer school will be from July 25 to August 15.More information is as follows:69. Which of the following is true about King’s College Summer School?A．Only top students can take part in the program．B．King’s College Summer School is run every other year．C．Visits to museums and culture centers are part of the program．D．Only the teacher of King’s College give courses．70．If you are to live with your relatives in New York, you will have to pay the school _______．A．$200 B．$400 C．$500 D．$90071．What information can you get from the text?A．The program will last two months.B．You can write to Thompson only in EnglishC．As a Chinese student, you can send your application on July 14, 2010D．You can get in touch with the school by E-mail or by telephone.( C )Sex prejudices are based on and justified by the ideology (思想体系；思想意识) that biology is destiny. According to this ideology, basic biological and psychological differences exist between the sexes. These differences require each sex to play a separate role in social life. Women are the weaker sex both physically and emotionally. Thus, they are naturally suited much more so than men, to the performance of domestic duties. A woman’s place, under normal circumstances, is within the protective environment of the home. Nature has determined that women play care-taker roles, such as wife and mother and homemaker. On the other hand men are best suited to go out into the competitive world of work and politics, where serious responsibilities must be taken on. Men are to be the providers; women and children are “dependents”.The ideology also holds that women who wish to work outside the household should naturally fill these jobs that are in line with the special capabilities of their sex. It is thus appropriate for women, not men, to be employed as nurses, social workers, elementary school teachers, household helpers, and clerks and secretaries. These positions are simply an extension of women’s domestic role. Informal distinctions between “women’s work” and “men’s work” in the labor force, according to the ideology, are simply a functional reflection of the basic differences between the sexes.Finally, the ideology suggests that nature has worked her will in another significant way. For thehuman species to survive over time, its members must regularly reproduce. Thus, women must, whether at home or in the labor force, make the most of their physical appearance. So goes the ideology. It is, of course, not true that basic biological and psychological differences between the sexes require each to play sex-defined roles in social life. There is enough evidence that sex roles vary from society to society, and those role differences that do exist are largely learned.But to the degree people actually believe that biology is destiny and that nature intended for men and women to make different contributions to society sex-defined roles will be seen as totally acceptable.72. Women’s place, some people think, is the protective environment of the home because _____.A. women can provide better care for the childrenB. women are too weak to do any agricultural work at allC. women are biologically suited to domestic jobsD. women can not compete with men in any field73. According to the author, sex roles ________.A. are socially determinedB. are emotionally and physically determinedC. can only be determined by what education people takeD. are biologically and psychologically determined74. The author points out that the assignments of women’s roles in work. _________.A. are determined by what they are better suited toB. grow out of their position inside the homeC. reflect a basic difference between men and womenD. are suitable to them, but not to men75. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. The division of sex-defined roles is completely unacceptable.B. Women’s roles in work are too limited at present.C. In one society, men might perform what is considered women’s duties by another.D. Some of the women’s roles in domestic duties can not be taken over by men.be a top student. This is not necessarily so, however. Anyone can become a better scholar if he or she wants to.____76______When you plan your week, you should make a list of things that you have to do. Be sure to set aside enough time to complete the work that you are normally assigned each week. Of course, studying shouldn’t occupy all of your free time. Don’t forget to set aside enough time for entertainment, hobbies and relaxation.____77_______Look around the house for a good study area. Keep this space, which may be a desk or simply a corner of your room, free of everything but study materials. No radio or television! When you sit down to work, concentrate on the subject!_____78________Look a passage over quickly but thoroughly before you begin to read it more carefully. Scanning a passage lets you preview the material and get a general idea of the content. Scanning will help you double your reading speed and improve your comprehension._____79_______Take advantage of class time to listen to everything the teacher says. Really listening in class means less work later. Taking notes will help you remember what the teacher says.______80__________When you get home from class, go over our notes. Review the important points that your teacher mentioned in class. If you do it regularly, the material will become more meaningful, and you will remember it longer.Section DWould–be language teachers everywhere have one thing in common: they all want some recognition of their professional status and skills, and a job. The former requirement is obviously important on a personal level, but it is vital if you are to have any chance of finding work.Ten years ago, the situation was very different. In virtually every developing country and in many developed countries as well, being a native English speaker was enough to get you employed as an English teacher.Now employers will only look at teachers who have the knowledge, the skills and attitudes to teach English effectively. The result of this has been to raise non-native English teachers to the same status as their native counterparts （相对应的人）--- something they have always deserved but seldom enjoyed. Non-natives are now happy --- linguistic discrimination （语言上的歧视）is a thing of the past.An ongoing research project, funded by the University of Cambridge, asked a sample of teachers, teacher educators and employers in more than 40 countries whether they regard the native/ non-native speakers distinction as being at all important. “No” was the answer. As long as candidates could teach and had the required level of English, it didn’t matter who they were and where they came from. Thus, a new form of discrimination --- this time justified because itsingled out the unqualified --- liberated the linguistically oppressed （受压迫的）. But the Cambridge project did more than just that: it confirmed that the needs of native and non-native teachers are extremely similar.(Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN FIFTEEN WORDS)81. The selection of English teachers used to be mainly based on _____________________.82. What did non-native English teachers deserve but seldom enjoy?83. What kind of people can now find a job as an English teacher?84. The phrase “the linguistically oppressed”(Line 6 Para.4) refers to those who were ________________.第Ⅱ卷(共45分)Ⅰ.

Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.ASomeone said that encouragement is simply reminding a person of the “shoulders” he’sstanding on, the property he’s been given. That’s what happened when a young man, the son of a star baseball player, was drafted by one of the minor league teams. As hard as he tried, his first season was disappointing, and by midseason he expected to be released any day.The coaches were puzzled by his failure because he possessed all the characteristics of an excellent athlete, but he couldn’t seem to incorporate those advan tages into an effective effort. He seemed to have become disconnected from his potential.His future seemed darkest one day when he had already struck out his first time at bat. Then he stepped up to the batter’s box again and quickly ran up two strikes. The catcher called a time-out and ran to the pitcher’s（投手）for a conference. While they were busy the judge, standing behind the plate, spoke casually to the boy.Then play resumed, the next pitch was thrown and the young man knocked it out of the park. That was the turning point. From then on, he played the game with a new confidence and power that quickly drew the attention of the parent team, and he was called up to the majors.On the day he was leaving for the city, one of his coaches asked him what had caused such a turnaround. The young man replied it was the encouraging remark the judge had made that day when his baseball career had seemed lost.“He told me I reminded him of all the times he had stood behind my dad in the batter’s box,” the boy explained. “He said I was holding the bat just the way Dad had held it. And he told me, ‘I can see his genes in you; you have your father’s arms. ’ After that, whether I swung the bat, I jus imagined I was using Dad’s arms instead of my own. ”65. According to the passage, encouraging remarks help a person to realize________.A. the great success he has achievedB. the experience he has accumulatedC. the qualities he was born withD. the support he has received66. The young man couldn’t succeed at first probably because__________.A. he didn’t work h ard enoughB. he knew little about baseballC. he didn’t realize his potentialsD. he was not born to be an athlete67. What brought about the turning point in his baseball career?A. The coaches’ encouraging words.B. The umpire’s casual remarks.C. The pitch he knocked out of the park.D. The first time he struck out at bat.68. The main purpose of the passage is to tell us _______.A. encouragement may change one’s lifeB. athletes especially need encouragementC. the young man will have a bright futureD. people can never succeed without encouragementBWell, my parents went on holiday to Crete last year.

My brother didn’t g et to the port on time.71. The underlined word “raving” in the third section is closest in meaning to________.A. talking widely as if madB. focusing straightC. inquiring patientlyD. smiling happilyCWhen it comes to exercise, less is not more----but it’s definitely better than none. Physical inactivity accounts for as many as 23 percent of all deaths from major recurring diseases, yet almost one of every three Americans tends to sit about without taking much exercise. According to the Centers for Disease Control（CCD）, 29. 4 percent of those surveyed report no leisure-time physical activity at all. City residents tend to be more active than country folks, with 27. 4 percent saying they are unmovable, compared with 36. 6 percent of those in rural areas. Westerners also are more active than Americans in other regions.Even light exercise---activity that increases oxygen consumption less than three times the level burned by the body at rest---can improve physical and mental well-being. While light activity is good, moderate is even better, and health experts encourage everyone to accumulate at least 30 minutes a day of moderate physical activity. But you don’t have to head to a gym. As recent studies have confirmed, “lifestyle” activities, such as walking, houseclean ing, and gardening, are as effective as a structured exercise program in improving heart function, lowering blood pressure, and maintaining or losing weight.In one study, overweight, unmovable middle-aged men and women who learned behavioral skills to make them more physically active（such as walking around airports or train stations while waiting for a departure）reduced their body fat percentage and improved their blood pressure and heart function as much as individuals participating in structured programs at a fitness center. In another study, fat women ranging in age from 21 to 60 who adopted a more active lifestyle lost as much weight as women in a low-impact aerobics（有氧健身法）program---and regained fewer pounds in the following year.Recognizing the value of different levels and types of activity, the American College of Sports Medicine has changed its recommendations on quantity and quality of exercise to include flexibility as well as aerobics and muscle workouts and to acknowledge that multiple short periods of exercise during the day are nearly as beneficial as one long session.72. Based on the passage, we can assume that______.A. outdoor activities can improve our physical health greatlyB. when we take part in exercise, less oxygen is taken inC. “lifestyle” activities can build our bodies and prevent us from getting too fatD. people of different ages and sex like sports which help them lose weight73. According to the passage, which of the following belongs to structured exercise program?A. Doing gymnastics at a gym.B. Housecleaning.C. Walking.D. Gardening.74. Which of the following statements best expresses the idea of the two studies described in the third paragraph?A. Exercise reduces the chance of heart attack.B. Active lifestyle activities can strengthen our body.C. Structured programs can give us a healthier body than lifestyle exercises.D. Lifestyle activities function as effective as structured programs.75. Which of the following can be inferred from the change made by the American College of Sports Medicine?A. Temporary exercise is beneficial.B. Flexibility used to be discouraged.C. Lifestyle activities are encouraged.D. Structured exercise programs are emphasized.DThe well-known “Red List” that details which specie s are threatened with extinction is inaccurate, according to a new assessment. It concludes the list fails to reflect the true threat to species, by not taking full account of the threat caused by people.The Red List, which is made by the world conservation Union（IUCN）, determines a species’ risk of extinction mainly on the basis of its population size, rate of decline and geographic range.But Alexander Harcourt and Sean Parks at the University of California, Davis, argue that this is not enough. They compare an endangered species to a house that has been left unlocked. The house is exposed to committing theft, but it only becomes threatened when there is a housebreaker nearby.In the same way, a small population of animals with likely extinction only becomes actively threatened when it is being caught illegally or its habitat is destroyed. Harcourt and Parks support modifying the Red List standards to include local human population density.Although a large number of people nearby may not in itself be a threat, they argue that hunting, pollution and habitat destruction, for example, are all likely to increase as people gradually attack wildlife. What’s more, data on human density is really available. “We have the numbers, why not use them?” says Harcourt.To illustrate their point, the researchers reassessed 200primate（灵长类）species from the 1996 Red List. They found that 17 species designed as being at relatively low risk by the Red List should now be reassigned as high priority.Contrary to the expectations of many, the researchers also found that two high-profile species, the gorilla and the pygmy chimpanzee, should be downgraded to a lower level of threat.But Craig Hilton-Taylor, Red List Programme Officer based in Cambridge, England,says that the IUCN has already introduced a species classification system for threats such as human density. The system runs in parallel to the main Red List classification.Besides, part of the Red List’s value is that you can make comparisons with past assessments, he says, and tweaking the criteria would make this impossible. “We’ve been asked by everyone, please don’t change the system again,” says Hilton-Taylor.Harcourt maintains that making explicit threats part of the criteria is not only more accurate, it may also help highlight future problems. Matt Walpole, a conservation researcher at the University of Kent at Canterbury, England, agrees: “Where population data is lacking, it might be a useful way of flagging up potentially threatened species. ”76. The Red list used to determine the risk of extinction a species may run by assessing all of the following, EXCEPT____________.A. human population dataB. the species’ population sizeC. the species’ rate of declineD. the geographic range of the species77. In order to indicate the level of threat caused by people to rare species, _____ has/have been introduced.A. a specific classification systemB. a more accurate assessment systemC. the Red List standardsD. the Red List classification78. The level of risk indicated by the Red List to each endangered species should be______.A. downgradedB. upgradedC. reassessedD. kept as it is79. The proper title for this passage should be______.A. Data On Human DensityB. Red Alert Over Rare SpeciesC. Red List ClassificationD. Potentially Threatened SpeciesSection CDirections: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.A. Importance of the Creative ProcessB. Varieties of ExperienceC. Fostering （培养）CreativityD. Creative PlayE. Fostering the Creative ProcessF. Opportunities for Creativity80.Creativity is the freest form of self-expression. There is nothing more satisfying and fulfilling for children than to be able to express themselves openly and without judgment. The ability to be creative, to create something from personal feelings and experiences, can reflect and nurture children's emotional health. The experiences children have during their first years of life can significantly enhance the development of their creativity.81.All children need to be truly creative is the freedom to commit themselves completely to the effort and make whatever activity they are doing their own. What's important in any creative act is the process of self-expression. Creative experiences can help children express and cope with their feelings. A child's creative activity can help teachers to learn more about what the child may be thinking or feeling. Creativity also fosters mental growth in children by providing opportunities for trying out new ideas, and new ways of thinking and problem-solving. Creative activities help acknowledge and celebrate children's uniqueness and diversity as well as offer excellent opportunities to personalize our teaching and focus on each child.82. Children need plenty of opportunities for creative play and creative thinking. Start by providing activities that are based on the children's interests and ideas. This means learning how to listen intently to what children are saying. It is very helpful to tape record and transcribe children's conversations as well as take notes and review them with your co-teachers. Be sure to offer children a wide range of creative materials and experiences. Being creative is more than drawing or painting. There's also photography, music, field trips,working with wire, clay, paper, wood, water or shadows. The possibilities are endless. It's important to provide children lots of time to explore materials and pursue their ideas. This includes time to think about how to plan, design, construct, experiment and revise project ideas. Don't forget to build in time to talk these ideas over with other people - both teachers and children.83.Look for ways to provide multi-ethnic, multi-cultural and other community experiences for children. Activities such as field trips, celebrating holidays and activities with other ethnic groups, and encouraging children to bring visitors to school enhances the creative process. The more varied experiences children have in their lives, the wider the range of creative expression. The more personal experiences children have with people and situations outside of their own environment, the more material they can draw on to incorporate in their play. Our challenge is to try not to be intimidated by the variety and diversity of artistic expression in our classroom.84. Encouraging children to make their own choices is important. Children should be permitted frequent opportunities - and lots of time - to experience and explore expressive materials. Put your emphasis on the process of creativity and not on the finished product. What children learn and discover about themselves is vital to their development. Show your support for the creative process by appreciating and offering support for children's efforts. Independence and control are important components in the creative process. This is especially true when working with children with disabilities.第Ⅱ卷（45分）I.

I decided to try at all costs to 1 them of their fear and dislike of 2 .One day in class, I said to to them, “Now I’m going to say something about reading that you have never heard a teacher say before.

I am not going to ask your questions to find out whether you 4 books or not, if you understand enough of a book to enjoy it and want to 5 reading it, that’s enough for me.”The children were 6 and silent. One girl, who had just come to us from a school where she had had a very 7 time, looked at me for a long time after I had 8 .Then she said slowly, “Mr. Holt, do you really 9 that?” I nodded.Apparently she decided to 10 me. The first book she read was Dr. Seuss’s How the Grinch Stole Christmas, not a(n) 11 book even for most third graders. For a while she read a number of books at this 12 .

Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.If you have ever had a cat, or have watched one of the many funny cat videos online, you'll know that cats have a mind of their own. A lot of the things they do are hard to understand—they like to climb up tall furniture,21．themselves in small spaces and attack small objects for no reason at all.Now scientists have managed to22．out what exactly is going on in the brains of our little friends.According to Tony Bufflington, a veterinarian and professor at Ohio State University in the US, cats' strange behavior23．comes from their way of life back in the wild."Cats today still have many of the same instincts that24．them to live in the wild for millions of years," he said in a TED Talk. "To them, our homes are their jungles."In the wild, cats are hunters. Their bodies and great25．abilities allow them to climb to high spots to better look at the environment. Even though they don't have to hunt anymore in human houses, they still keep the old habit of 26．the living room from, for example, the top of the refrigerator.Cats' hunting instinct is also what makes them27．small things like keys and USB drives. In the wild, they hunt whatever they can get, and most of the animals they kill are small.However, cats can also be prey.

This is also why cats29．a clean litter box; a smelly one could easily show enemies where they are.But knowing how cats' minds work is not only useful for better understanding them.

Reading Comprehension 15%Section AMore and more young women want to look beautiful. Young women‟s desire to achieve the figure of a fashion model has an 50 form of expression in the problem of anorexia nervosa. Anorexia nervosa is a(n) 51 disorder which occurs largely among young girls; 52 , it is also found among some of the youngwomen, and in some cases, among boys.Anorexia nervosa is 53 starvation attitudes toward food, and distorted (扭曲的) body image. 54 they are often extremely thin, anorexic girls believe that they are fat and are 55 on dieting. Their perceptions of their own bodies are very much distorted. They do not see themselves as thin but 56 , as fat. Most 57 of anorexia lose 25 percent or more of their body fat. Anorexia also causes them to become weak. From five to six percent of anorexics __58 _die from starvation.Anorexia, which means “without food”, seems to be quite59 among young girls, although it was 60 a problem twenty years ago. The 61 of Anorexia is not known. Researchers are trying to find out its 62 but it is related to a psychological (心理的) need. One theory is that they want to avoid becoming an adult, since starvation can 63 down physical growth and the beginning of puberty(青春期). Another theory is that anorexia is related to refusal of the mother figure or to being the daughter of an overly protective and controlling mother. By being anorexic, the girl shows her ability to _64 _at least one aspect of her own life.In addition, researchers note that the problem may result in a wrong body image---the ideal of female beauty of being very thin.50．A．ordinary B．extreme C．interesting D．everlasting51．A．acting B．sleeping C．studying D．eating52．A．however B．furthermore C．anyhow D．therefore53．A．brought by B．found in C．regarded as D．characterized by 54．A．Because B．When C．Although D．If55．A．forced B．willing C．checked D．fixed56．A．rather B．nevertheless C．further D．even57．A．lovers B．victims C．women D．patients58．A．greatly B．strangely C．actually D．steadily59．A．strange B．common C．possible D．often60．A．hardly B．certainly C．hopefully D．exactly61．A．medicine B．truth C．result D．cause62．A．possibility B．opportunity C．necessity D. importance63．A．break B．cut C．slow D．turn64．A．control B．improve C．build D．instructSection B 30%AToday‟s dad spends more hours on childcare than a dad a generation ago. But he still lags behind the modern-day mom, even when her wages are equal, a new study reports. Researchers found that the number of hours a mother spent at work had no effect on the amount of time a father devoted to childcare during the week. Similarly, a mother‟s income had very little influence on fathers‟ involvement in childcare. On weekends, however, fathers spent more time wit h their children. Despite women‟s increasing role in the labor market, most mothersremain the primary caregivers of young children on weekdays.Researchers found that fathers spent an average of 2.5 hours on a weekday and about 6 hours on a weekend day with their children. This included time spent playing together or doing schoolwork, personal care such as bathing and feeding. On weekdays, children spent one-third less time with their fathers than with their mothers, but on weekends the time gap closed and kids spent only 13% more time with their mothers than with their fathers. Children of women who made more money spent more time with their fathers on weekends, however. “The good news is that as women become equal contributing partners, the relative invol vement of fathers does increase,” one researcher said. “The bad news is that men still do less on traditional women‟s jobs — (taking care of) babies, dishes, etc.”In other findings, fathers with some college education spent 17 more minutes per weekday with their children than dads without any college education. Fathers who made more money spent less time with children on weekdays, but the amount of time was fairly small. “Our findings suggest that although mothers still shoulder most parenting, fathers‟ involvement relative to that of mothers appears to be on the increase,” the researchers conclude. “A …new father‟ role is emerging on weekends in families.”65．The underlined word“This” in the second paragraph refers to _________.A．the study reported in the textB．the role a father plays in childcareC．time a father spends with his children on weekendsD．time a father spends with his children during the whole week66．Which of the following explains a fathers‟ increasing involvement in childcare?A．Women‟s liberation movement. B．The kind of job women do.C．The kind of job fathers do. D．A mother‟s income.67．Which of the following best summarizes the main idea of the text?A．Fathers are more involved but mothers are still main caregivers.B．Children need care from both parents in a family.C．Education is the key to the improvement of women‟s good health and happiness.D．Women have become equal contributing partners of income in a family.68．Which of the words below best describes the researchers‟ attitude towards a “new father” role?A．Surprised. B．Pleased.C．Disappointed. D．Dissatisfied.BYou can be proud of yourselves, even if you can only make one or two of these green changes. The goal here is to limit carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases, which are closely associated to the big problem of69. What is the best title for the passage?A. Tips to Save MoneyB. Approaches to being Earth-FriendlyC. Strategies to End Global-WarmingD. Ways to Limit Carbon Dioxide70. According to the writer, what will happen if our PC is switched off when not in use?A. It will help to save a large amount of money.B. It will help to reduce a great deal of CO2.C. It will save the amount of oil that runs your car for a mile.D. It will be like planting 1.7 million acres of new trees.71. Which strategies suggest recycling or reuse of things?A. Strategies 1 & 3.B. Strategies 2 & 5.C. Strategies 3 & 6.D. Strategies 4 & 5.72. What benefits do these strategies have in common?A. They all help reduce the use of energy like electricity.B. They all cut down the amount of the use of paper.C. They all result in producing less greenhouse gases.D. They all aid to preserve our trees and forest.CJust the mention of the TOEFL, GRE and GAMT exams brings a thought of long hours of dull paper work. But that idea is becoming increasingly out of date.

If they are sureabout their choices, they can pass to the next question by pressing the entry(条目) “next”. Then anoth er question will be randomly(任意地)selected from a vast test item bank and appear on the screen. After answering all the questions, examinees can choose the entry “quit” if they are not satisfied with their performance, or “score” if they want to see the result. Scores will be calculated immediately and appear on the screen. By that point, student's marks are official--there is no going back.Since they greatly shorten the painful waiting process-which used to be two or three months, computerized tests have won worldwide popularity. Besides, there will be no rushing to the registration offices( 登记处)for these exams. Computerized tests will be given every workday in an exam center with all three kinds of tests being held in the same room. All test takers need to do is to call the exam center and book their seats for a particular day.In addition it will become technically possible to apply new testing procedures. In the past，each examinee had the same set of test items despite differences in their ability. Under a computerized system, however, if the computer judges an answer is right, a question of a relatively difficult nature will follow. But if an examinee continues to give wrong answers and is judged as un-qualified by the computer system, he will be automatically denied the chance to go further in the test.73. Computerized tests allow the examinee to know their scores .A. immediately on a central computer for scoring test papersB. a few minutes after the exam with the help of a test center workerC. on the next day after they have taken the examD. immediately after the exam by means of the same computer74. If an examinee is not satisfied with his performance .A. he can admit defeat and give it upB. he can ask the computer to give some adviceC. he can ask another chance within a few daysD. he is allowed to do it once again75. Under a computerized system, all of the following would be possible except that .A. different exams can be taken in the same roomB. o ne doesn‟t need to rush to the registration officer for taking an examC. it will be much easier to pass an examinationD. one can take an exam almost at any time of the yearDA team of researchers from the University of California, San Francisco, reported that middle- aged men without wives were actually twice as likely to die during a 10 — year span as men with wives. It was the kind of news that swept through offices and watering holes — and it made people feel conceited or anxious, depending on their circumstances.Davis‟s team had set out to examine the effect of various living arrangements on mortality (the number of death from a certain cause). Because of the buffering (缓冲作用) social support marriage is known to provide, Davis and her colleagues fully expected to find that men and women living alone did worst in survival rates. It came as some surprise, however, that in their study population, subjects who shared living quarters with people other than a spouse had the same lower survival rates as those who lived by themselves. 'The critical factor," Davis says, "seems to be the presence of a spouse."The lower survival rates for the spouseless were found primarily in men who were widowed(丧偶), separated or divorced, rather than in those who had never been married. Emotional and social factors probably played a role in higher mortality among the spouseless men. The researchers will analyze questionnaires that asked how frequently the men felt worried, nervous or poorly rested. But the team will also look at the causes ofdeath; if the men without wives show higher rates of suicide or fatal accidents, it‟s likely that emotional stress contributed to their higher mortality rate.Davis has already discovered that the married men reported a significantly higher level of well- being than those who weren‟t married. So perhaps the explanation for their longer survival isn‟t really so complicated. Because they are cared for by nurturing wives, they just plain feel happier than the other guys do. And what better reason than that for staying alive?76. What does the passage mainly discuss?A. The mortality of middle- aged men is closely related to their well - being.B. The mortality of middle- aged men is directly proportional to their wives' survival rates.C. The mortality of middle- aged men is not in proportion to their divorce rates.D. The mortality of middle- aged men is closely related to their marriage condition.77. The news reported makes .A. the widowers happy and the widows worriedB. the married happy and the spouseless worriedC. the divorced happy and the separated worriedD. the widowed happy and the spouse worried78. It seems that in terms of survival rates .A. widowed men are easier to be hurt than widowed womenB. married men are easier to be hurt than married womenC. married women are easier to be hurt than married menD. widowed women are easier to be hurt than widowed men79. It can be predicted, while looking at the cause of death, researchers will .A. remove certain health factorsB. consider the circumstancesC. consider racial supportD. remove certain emotional factorsSection C 5%E80. _______In the 1960s, people asked about your astrological sign. In the 1990s, they wanted to know your website. These days, having a Web address is almost as important as a street address. You website is an electronic meeting placefor your family, friends and potentially, millions of people around the world. Best of all, you may not have to spend a cent. The Web is filled with all kinds of free services and all it takes is some time and creativity.81. _______Think of your home page as the starting point of your website. Like the table of contents of a book or a magazine, the home page is the front door. Your site can have one or more pages, depending on how you design it. While web pages vary greatly in their design and content, most use a traditional magazine layout. At the top of the page is a banner GRAPHIC. Next comes a greeting and a short description of the site. Pictures, texts, and links to other websites follow.82. _______Before you start building your site, do some planning. Think about whom the site is for and what you want to say. Next, gather up the material that you want to put on the site. Draw a rough layout on a sheet of paper.83. _______While there are no rules you have to follow, there are a few things to keep in mind: start simply. If you are too ambitious at the beginning, you may never get the site off the ground. You can always add to your site. Less is better. Most people don‟t like to read a lot of text online. Break it into small pieces. Smaller is better. Most people connect to the Internet with a modem. Since it can take a long time to download large image files, keep the file sizes small. Don‟t put any material on your site unless you are sure you ca n do it legally. Learn the Net‟s Copyright Article for more about this.84. _______Now it‟s time to roll up your sleeves and start building. Learning the Net Communities provides tools to help you build your site.第Ⅱ卷（45分）I.Translation 20%Directions: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.1. 我不太喜欢吃甜的东西。
