The fossilised bones found in 1967 were originally thought to be 130,000 years old. But a re-dating of rock layers near those which yielded the fossils showed they are actually about 195,000 years old—from the time modern humans emerged. The skulls, known as Omo I and II, push back the known presence of Homo sapiens in Africa by 40,000 years. The previous oldest Homo sapiens skulls, dated to between 154,000 and 160,000 years old, were found near a village called Herto in the afar region of eastern Ethiopia. Omo I and II were unearthed by famous palaeontologist Richard Leakey along the Omo River in southern Ethiopia, near the town of Kibish. Omo I's more modern features led to disagreement among experts over whether they were the same age. The rocks in which they were found show they are, said Australian archaeologist Prof Ian McDougall, who made the discovery. He told scientific journal “Nature”: “Omo I and Omo II are relatively securely dated to 195,000 years old, making them the oldest anatomically modern human fossils yet recove red.”Questions:56. By which means could the scientists tell the age of fossils they have found?A. The bones of the fossils.B. The place where they were found.C. The history of humans.D. Identifying the rock layers of the fossils.57. How many years older has our species become by the new discovery?A. 130,000.B. 40,000.C. 195,000.D. Between 154,000 and 160,000.58. Where were the Omo I and II found?A. Near Herto.B. Along the Omo River.C. Near Kibish.D. In Australia.59. What does the word “homo sapiens”mean in this passage?A. Human being.B. A sample of fossils.C. A river.D. A country.60. Which of the following statements are NOT true according to the passage?A. The discovery of an old crocodile skeleton in Brazil makes people believe that South America and Madagascar were joined 70 million years ago.B. Prof Ian McDougall thought Omo I and II were the oldest human fossils discovered.C. Prof Ian McDougall discovered that Omo I and II were not the same age.D. Omo I and II were discovered in southern Ethiopia.Section B Short Answer Questions (20 points)Directions: In this section, there are 2 passages followed by 10 questions or unfinished statements. Read the passages carefully, then answer the questions in the fewest possible words (not exceeding 10 words). Remember to write the answers on the Answer Sheet.Questions 61 to 63 are based on the following passage.King JamesBefore the last shot of Michael Jordan's final game with the Chicago Bulls, he left behind a moment that will hang in the minds of sports fans the way he did in the air. His quick crossover dribble, with the help of a tiny shove, sent Utah Jazz defender Byron Russell to the floor. Wide open, Jordan nailed the game-winning jump shot, and he and the Bulls clinched their sixth—and Jordan's last—NBA title.At the Rose Garden Arena in Portland, Ore., last Wednesday, Cleveland Cavaliers star LeBron James, 20, became the youngest player to reach one of the toughest performance milestones in basketball, the “triple double”(double digits in points, rebounds and assists in a single game—he did it again three nights later). During one play, his quick crossover dribble, sans shove, sent a Portland defender veering to the sideline. Wide open, James shot a three pointer. Swish. Nothing but Mike.Ever since Jordan's first retirement a dozen years ago, the NBA has searchedfrom Chi-town to China for a star as dominant and marketable as His Airness.The race to replace Jordan may end without a winner, but LeBron James, in just his second year out of St. Vincent—St. Mary High School in Akron, Ohio, is already far ahead of the pretenders. His game is spectacular. James combines Jordan's ease at filling up the box score (and the stands) with a ruthless instinct to win, a trait that Hill, a gentleman, and Carter, a diffident performer, surely lack. And like Jordan, James knows he can't do it alone. In fact, he is a complete team player who loves to pass the ball and make his teammates better: Iverson and Bryant can't claim much there.The biggest shock of all: the most hyped teen athlete of this century, whosingle-handedly put high school basketball on national television, has actually exceeded the ungodly expectations set before him. “The King James era is here”, says Milwaukee Bucks head coach Terry Porter, who played against Jordan for much of his 17-year pro career. “You could argue that LeBron is kind of carrying the league right now.”Questions:61. What does the sentence “Nothing but Mike.”indicate?62. Hill, a gentleman, and Carter, a diffident performer lack _________, compared with Jordan.63. Can you guess what Terry Porter was before he was a coach?Questions 64 to 70 are based on the following passage.Good news: Olympic chiefs visit London. Bad news: they'll be traveling by TubeIt's crunch week for London's bid to host the 2012 GamesBY ANDREW JOHNSON and JONATHAN THOMPSONSenior government ministers and British sporting heroes will be on hand to extol the capital's virtues when the 12-member International Olympic Committee (IOC) team visits this week to assess the London 2012 bid.Although much of their four-day visit is expected to be spent in the exclusive Four Seasons Hotel in Canary Wharf grilling bid organisers in question and answer sessions, the evaluation commission will spend one day visiting London's proposed venues—and will take a trip on the Tube. It could prove a costly journey.London 2012 organisers, who have spent up to £20m on the project, have pencilled in trips to the proposed sites, including the planned stadium at Stratford, the Millennium Dome at Greenwich and the ExCel centre in Docklands.However, the commission can insist on being taken anywhere, including the new Wembley stadium, which will host the football, or to the archery venue at Lord's, or even to Wimbledon or Hackney.Earlier this month, the Madrid bid suffered a setback over lack of accommodations, which was criticised by IOC members. Will transport prove Londons' Achilles' heel? On Friday The Independent on Sunday sent four reporters on various journeys across London to put the transport infrastructure to the test.Questions:64. How many people can the London's planned Olympic stadium hold?65. How many International Olympic Committee(IOC) members will visit London and where are they going to have the question and answer sessions?66. What does “tube”mean in American English?67. London 2012 organisers have spent up to £20m on the project. The proposed sites include _________ at Stratford, _________ at Greenwich and_________ in Docklands.68. Why was Madrid criticised by International Olympic Committee members?69. The Independent on Sunday sent four reporters on four journeys across London.

Remember to write the answer on the Answer Sheet.Farmers, as we all know, have been having a hard time of it in Britain, and have been turning to new ways of earning income from their land. This involves not only p 81 new kinds of crops, but some strange ways of making money, the most u 82 of which has got to be sheep racing. Y es, you heard me correctly! A farmer in the West of England now holds sheep races on a regular basis, and d 83 the past year over 100,000 people have turned up to w 84 the proceedings. “I was passing the farm on my way to t he sea for a holiday,”one punter told me, “and I thought I'd have a look. I didn't believe it was serious, to tell you the truth.” A 85to a regular visitor, betting on sheep is more interesting than betting on horses. “At proper horse races everyone has already studied the form of the horses in advance, and there are clear f 86 . But nobody has heard anything about these sheep! Most people find it d 87 to tell one from another in any case. ”I stayed to watch the races, and I must admit that I found it quite exciting. In a typical race, half a dozen sheep race downhill o 88 a course of about half a mile. Food is waiting for them at the other end of the track, I ought to add! The sheep run s 89 fast, although presumably they haven't eaten for a while just to give them some m90 . At any rate, the crowd around me were obviously enjoying their day out at the races, judging by their happy faces and the sense of excitement.Part VII Translation (15 minutes, 20 points)Section A English-Chinese Translation (10 points)Directions: Translate the underlined sentences of the following passage into Chinese. Remember to write the answers on the Answer Sheet.The symbolic importance of the burger cannot be underestimated. (91) Under its beefburger guise, it was the first of the new range of “convenience”foods which were about to make the world a better place and begin the liberation of women from the drudgery of home-cooking and housework. The older generation did not approve, which made it all the better. In the Sixties the hamburger was a symbol of the techno age — perfectly circular and streamlined. It was as uniform and relentlessly predictable as only the latest technology could make it.(92) True, there were those who rebelled against it, but to most the hamburger was a reflection of the national love affair with Americana(美国文化). It was a phenomenon which was made fresh in Seventies London with the trendy burgers of the Great American Disaster and the Hard Rock Café, and in many other cities round the world.In the Eighties another subtle shift occurred. People became aware that America was no longer another place but a culture which had spread throughout the world. And the hamburger became globalized, too, in the form of McDonald’s. With its US home market, like the fat in its burgers, heavily saturated, McDonald‟s looked abroad. (93) By the end of the Eighties it had grown to such a size that every day 28 million global citizens ate there and the Big Mac became omnipresent.。

Read the passages carefully, then answer the questions in the fewest possible words (not exceeding 10 words). Remember to write the answers on the Answer Sheet.Questions 61 to 64 are based on the following passage.London's public transport system is no longer the “sick man” but the “jewel in the crown” of the capital's 2012 Olympic dream, bid chiefs said last night.Transport experts told the International Olympic Committee scrutinizing Britain's chances that London's railways and roads would soon be the envy of the world.Once improvements were in place, athletes would spend time “competing not commuting”, bid leader Lord Coe told the IOC panel on the first day of their visit.The need for an overhaul came after the IOC criticised London's “obsolete” public transport systems in a report last May.Yesterday the London 2012 bid made a series of promises including:£10 billion of investments including a £1 billion East London line extension, longer Jubilee line trains and Northern line upgrades.A train serving the main Olympic Park at Stratford, East London, every15 seconds, on ten different rail lines.Twelve-carriage, 225kph (140mph) javelin trains using the Channel Tunnel Rail Link and taking passengers between Straford and King's Cross in six-and-a-half minutes.Tube trains running until 2:30 a.m. every day of the Olympics.Connecting services which will allow visitors to reach the Olympic Park from 309 stations.The 13-member IOC panel will today have its first taste of the Underground, with a Jubilee line trip to the Millennium Dome. They will also treavel on the Channel Tunnel Rail Link, watching a video outlining the transport improvements to be delivered every year up to 2012.But they will spend most of their time on coaches as they travel to such key sites as Wembley and Wimbledon.Transport Minister Tony McNulty admitted there were concerns about how London would cope with 500,000 extra visitors a day. But Transport for London said the Olympic fortnight in August would lead to only a five percent increase in passengers—when 20 percent of London's commuters were on holiday.Questions:61. According to Paragraph 1, London's public transport system used to be ________ .62. The word “scrutinizing” in Line 1, Paragraph 2 means ________ .63. The need for an overhaul came because of a report given by the ________ .64. The title of the passage probably is ________ .Questions 65 to 70 are based on the following passage.Just as you will have to prepare yourself for a period of psychological disorientation when you leave the USA, you should know that after your time abroad, you may also have to prepare yourself for a parallel period of readjustment when you return “home”. Why? Simply because, if you have had a full experience living and learning overseas, you are likely to have changed some while you have been away. So the place you return to may itself appear to have changed, as indeed it might have. Even though these changes are seldom huge, and may not be apparent to others, you are likely to be very aware of them, and this can be confusing, all the more so because it is unexpected. Brigham Young University's Culture Grams offer many insights on customs and lifestyles of individual countries. Phone 1-800-528-6279 or visit the website at.Immediately after you return, you can probably expect to go through an initial stage of euphoria and excitement. Most people are overwhelmed by the sheer joy of being back on their native land. But as you try to settle back into your former routine, you may recognize that your overseas experiences has changed some of many of your perceptions andassumptions, your ways of doing things, even what it means to “be yourself”. You might have become, in a sense, a somewhat new person. After all, that is what education is all about! But this intellectual and personal growth means that you can expect a period of disorientation as you adjust to the “new” environment at home.The readjustment period is usually rather short-lived, since “home” will never be as “foreign” to you as the foreign environment you adjusted to overseas. Also, your experience of dealing successfully with culture shock abroad will have provided you with the psychological tools for dealing with the challenges of readjustment. Obviously, the more you have immersed yourself, the more difficult it will be to have things go back to a previous notion of normality. However, if you are aware of the changes (and seek to learn from them), smooth adaptation is more likely.Questions:65. What is the main idea of the first paragraph?66. For what reason do you have to readjust yourself after returning from abroad?67.The word “euphoria”(Para. 2)probably means ________ .68. The readjustment will not take much of your time. Why?69. ________ is more likely if you are conscious of the changes.70. Give a proper title for this passage.Section C True (T) or False (F) (10 points)Directions: In this part, there is 1 passage followed with 10 statements.

Puttnam asked her to compose dreamy and romantic music with a sixties feel for the feature film The Frog Prince.Having a studio at her disposal, Enya worked almost always at home with the Roland Juno 60 synthesizer or the Kurzweil sampler, and then added piano and voice. Nicky Ryan recorded everything and helped to put thecompositions into their final form.Enya's first record subsequently climbed tonumber one in the Irish charts, which startedthe commercial rise of Enya.

Remember to write the answers on the Answer Sheet.We do not usually give much thought to how the things that surround us in our everyday lives are created. Everything we use—from the knives and forks we eat with to the chairs we sit on and the computers we work at—has been designed. (91) Designing may seem simple, but only thosewho are creative, practical, and sensitive to people's needs can be successful designers.Designers are artists, first of all. They have to be creative enough to come up with original ideas all the time. They then turn these ideas into actual objects of beauty. (92) Even when they produce an ordinary object like a knife, they should try to make it attractive. However, that is not enough. Good designing requires much, much more.There are practical issues to consider as well. (93) In an age of mass production, designers have to be familiar with manufacturing techniques and the best ways of using materials. (94) For example, it is no use designing an elegant knife which is complicated and expensive to produce in the factory. Few companies would be willing to make or sell such a knife. Therefore, the designer needs to create a knife that can be produced at a reasonable cost.Designers also have to respond quickly to changes in what people think of as desirable. For instance, fashions in materials, colors, and styles are always changing. (95) Designers have to make sure that their creations meet the demands of new lifestyles in the changing world. Their products have to be attractive to ordinary people, not just to themselves. In short, designers must be practical artists who are sensitive to people's tastes.Section B Chinese-English Translation (10 points)Directions: Translate the following sentences into English. Remember to write the answers on the Answer Sheet.96.社会学可以这样定义:它是科学的一个分支,研究社会组织的发展过程及其规律。

Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.Questions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage.New Findings in Archaeology●South America and Madagascar were joined 70 million years agoPicture: ReutersAn old croc: The discovery in Brazil of a nearly complete fossilised skeleton of the prehistoric crocodile Ubera-basuchus terrificus, above, supports theories that South America and Madagascar were joined 70 million years ago.Picture: ReutersAn old croc: The discovery in Brazil of a nearly complete fossilised skeleton of the prehistoric crocodile Ubera-basuchus terrificus, above, supports theories that South America and Madagascar were joined 70 million years ago.●We've all just got 40,000 years olderTwo skulls found in Africa have been identified as the oldest human remains known to science. The fossilised bones found in 1967 were originally thought to be 130,000 years old. But a re-dating of rock layers near those which yielded the fossils showed they are actually about 195,000 years old—from the time modern humans emerged. The skulls, known as Omo I and II, push back the known presence of Homo sapiens in Africa by 40,000 years. The previous oldest Homo sapiens skulls, dated to between 154,000 and 160,000 years old, were found near a village called Herto in the afar region of eastern Ethiopia. Omo I and II were unearthed by famous palaeontologist Richard Leakey along the Omo River in southern Ethiopia, near the town of Kibish. Omo I's more modern features led to disagreement among experts over whether they were the same age. The rocks in which they were found show they are, said Australian archaeologist Prof Ian McDougall, who made the discovery. He told scientific journal “Nature”: “Omo I and Omo II are relatively securely dated to 195,000 years old, making them the oldest anatomically modern human fossils yet recovered.”Questions:56. By which means could the scientists tell the age of fossils they have found?A. The bones of the fossils.B. The place where they were found.C. The history of humans.D. Identifying the rock layers of the fossils.57. How many years older has our species become by the new discovery?A. 130,000.B. 40,000.C. 195,000.D. Between 154,000 and 160,000.58. Where were the Omo I and II found?A. Near Herto.B. Along the Omo River.C. Near Kibish.D. In Australia.59. What does the word “homo sapiens”mean in this passage?A. Human being.B. A sample of fossils.C. A river.D. A country.60. Which of the following statements are NOT true according to the passage?A. The discovery of an old crocodile skeleton in Brazil makes people believe that South America and Madagascar were joined 70 million years ago.B. Prof Ian McDougall thought Omo I and II were the oldest human fossils discovered.C. Prof Ian McDougall discovered that Omo I and II were not the same age.D. Omo I and II were discovered in southern Ethiopia.Section B Short Answer Questions (20 points)Directions: In this section, there are 2 passages followed by 10 questions or unfinished statements. Read the passages carefully, then answer the questions in the fewest possible words (not exceeding 10 words). Remember to write the answers on the Answer Sheet.Questions 61 to 63 are based on the following passage.King JamesBefore the last shot of Michael Jordan's final game with the Chicago Bulls, he left behind a moment that will hang in the minds of sports fans the way he did in the air. His quick crossover dribble, with the help of a tiny shove, sent Utah Jazz defender Byron Russell to the floor. Wide open, Jordan nailed the game-winning jump shot, and he and the Bulls clinched their sixth—and Jordan's last—NBA title.At the Rose Garden Arena in Portland, Ore., last Wednesday, Cleveland Cavaliers star LeBron James, 20, became the youngest player to reach one of the toughest performance milestones in basketball, the “triple double”(double digits in points, rebounds and assists in a single game—he did it again three nights later). During one play, his quick crossover dribble, sans shove, sent a Portland defender veering to the sideline. Wide open, James shot a three pointer. Swish. Nothing but Mike.Ever since Jordan's first retirement a dozen years ago, the NBA has searched from Chi-town to China for a star as dominant and marketable as His Airness.The race to replace Jordan may end without a winner, but LeBron James, in just his second year out of St. V incent—St. Mary High School in Akron, Ohio, is already far ahead of the pretenders. His game is spectacular. James combines Jordan's ease at filling up the box score (and the stands) with a ruthless instinct to win, a trait that Hill, a gentleman, and Carter, a diffident performer, surely lack. And like Jordan, James knows he can't do it alone. In fact, he is a complete team player who loves to pass the ball and make his teammates better: Iverson and Bryant can't claim much there.The biggest shock of all: the most hyped teen athlete of this century, who single-handedly put high school basketball on national television, has actually exceeded the ungodly expectations set before him. “The King James era is here”, says Milwaukee Bucks head coach Terry Porter, who played against Jordan for much of his 17-year pro career. “Y ou could argue that LeBron is kind of carrying the league right now.”Questions:61. What does the sentence “Nothing but Mike.”indicate?62. Hill, a gentleman, and Carter, a diffident performer lack _________, compared withJordan.63. Can you guess what Terry Porter was before he was a coach?Questions 64 to 70 are based on the following passage.Good news: Olympic chiefs visit London. Bad news: they'll be traveling by TubeIt's crunch week for London's bid to host the 2012 GamesBY ANDREW JOHNSON and JONA THAN THOMPSONSenior government ministers and British sporting heroes will be on hand to extol the capital's virtues when the 12-member International Olympic Committee (IOC) team visits this week to assess the London 2012 bid.Although much of their four-day visit is expected to be spent in the exclusive Four Seasons Hotel in Canary Wharf grilling bid organisers in question and answer sessions, the evaluation commission will spend one day visiting London's proposed venues—and will take a trip on the Tube. It could prove a costly journey.London 2012 organisers, who have spent up to £20m on the project, have pencilled in trips to the proposed sites, including the planned stadium at Stratford, the Millennium Dome at Greenwich and the ExCel centre in Docklands.However, the commission can insist on being taken anywhere, including the new Wembley stadium, which will host the football, or to the archery venue at Lord's, or even to Wimbledon or Hackney.Earlier this month, the Madrid bid suffered a setback over lack of accommodations, which was criticised by IOC members. Will transport prove Londons' Achilles' heel? On Friday The Independent on Sunday sent four reporters on various journeys across London to put the transport infrastructure to the test.Questions:64. How many people can the London's planned Olympic stadium hold?65. How many International Olympic Committee(IOC) members will vis it London and where are they going to have the question and answer sessions?66. What does “tube”mean in American English?67. London 2012 organisers have spent up to £20m on the project. The proposed sites include _________ at Stratford, _________ at Greenwich and _________ in Docklands.68. Why was Madrid criticised by International Olympic Committee members?69. The Independent on Sunday sent four reporters on four journeys across London. The four journeys are from Canary Wharf to the following destinations: ①, ②, ③,④.70.

Remember to write the answer on the Answer Sheet.Farmers, as we all know, have been having a hard time of it in Britain, and have been turning to new ways of earning income from their land. This involves not only p 81 new kinds of crops, but some strange ways of making money, the most u 82 of which has got to be sheep racing. Y es, you heard me correctly! A farmer in the West of England now holds sheep races on a regular basis, and d 83 the past year over 100,000 people have turned up to w 84 the proceedings. “I was passing the farm on my way to the sea for a holiday,”one p unter told me, “and I thought I'd have a look. I didn't believe it was serious, to tell you the truth.” A85 to a regular visitor, betting on sheep is more interesting than betting on horses. “At proper horse races everyone has already studied the form of the horses in advance, and there are clear f 86 . But nobody has heard anything about these sheep! Most people find it d 87 to tell one from another in any case. ”I stayed to watch the races, and I must admit that I found it quite exciting. In a typical race, half a dozen sheep race downhill o 88 a course of about half a mile. Food is waiting for them at the other end of the track, I ought to add! The sheep run s 89 fast, although presumably they haven't eaten for a while just to give them some m 90 . At any rate, the crowd around me were obviously enjoying their day out at the races, judging by their happy faces and the sense of excitement.Part VII Translation (15 minutes, 20 points)Section A English-Chinese Translation (10 points)Directions: Translate the underlined sentences of the following passage into Chinese. Remember to write the answers on the Answer Sheet.The symbolic importance of the burger cannot be underestimated. (91) Under its beefburgerguise, it was the first of the new range of “convenience”foods which were about to make the world a better place and begin the liberation of women from the drudgery of home-cooking and housework. The older generation did not approve, which made it all the better. In the Sixties the hamburger was a symbol of the techno age — perfectly circular and streamlined. It was as uniform and relentlessly predictable as only the latest technology could make it.(92) True, there were those who rebelled against it, but to most the hamburger was a reflection of the national love affair with Americana(美国文化). It was a phenomenon which was made fresh in Seventies London with the trendy burgers of the Great American Disaster and the Hard Rock Café, and in many other cities round the world.In the Eighties another subtle shift occurred. People became aware that America was no longer another place but a culture which had spread throughout the world. And the hamburger became globalized, too, in the form of McDonald’s. With its US home market, like the fat in its burgers, heavily saturated, McDonald’s looked abroad. (93) By the end of the Eighties it had grown to such a size that every day 28 million global citizens ate there and the Big Mac became omnipresent.(94)McDonald’s stormed the world, but its successes also drew upon it in the Nineties the criticisms which were levelled at that era. (95) Food experts began to see the world’s changing culinary (烹调的)tastes as a symbol of what is wrong with the new con sumerism. “The hamburger is a metaphor for our times — cheap, convenient and an indication that we have given up any real interest in what we eat,” said the leading food writer Frances Bissell, lamenting the trends of our increasingly obese society towards snacking on the hoof or before the TV instead of eating proper meals.Then along came “Mad Cow Disease”and even though the average person was told they had more chance of winning the National Lottery than contracting “Mad Person Disease”, with it came the dreadful realization that the cheap, convenient, easy way out might, in the end, turn out to be none of these things.Section B Chinese-English Translation (10 points)Directions: Translate the following sentences into English.

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.Passage ONEQuestions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage.In a time of low academic achievement by children in the United States, many Americans are turning to Japan, a country of high academic achievement and economic success, for possible answers. However, the answers provided by Japanese preschools are not the ones Americans expected to find. In' most Japanese preschools, surprisingly little emphasis is put onacademic instruction. In one investigation, 300 Japanese and 210 American preschool teachers, child development specialists, and parents were asked about various aspects of early childhood education. Only 2 percent of the Japanese respondents (答问卷者)listed "to give children a good start' academically" as one of their top three reasons for a society to have preschools. In contrast, over half the American respondents chose this as one of their top three choices. To prepare children for success ful careers in first grade and beyond, Japanese schools do not teach reading, writing, and math emetics, but rather skills such as persistence, concentration, and the ability to function as a member of a group. The vast majority of young Japanese children are taught to read at home by their parents.In the recent comparison of Japanese and American preschool education, 91 percent of Japanese respondents chose providing children with a group experience as one of their top three reasons for a society to have preschools. Sixty-two percent of the more individually oriented (强调个性发展的) Americans listed group experience as one of their top three choices. An emphasis on the importance of the group seen in Japanese early childhood education continues into elementary school education.Like in America, there is diversity in Japanese early childhood education. Some Japanese kindergartens have specific aims, such as early musical training or potential development. In large cities, some kindergartens are attached to universities that have elementary and secondary schools.Some Japanese parents believe that if their young children attend a university-based program, it will increase the children's chances of eventually being admitted to top-rated schools and universities. Several more progressive programshave introduced free play as a way out for the heavy intellectualizing in some Japanese kindergartens.11. We learn from the first paragraph that many Americans believeA)Japan's higher education is superior to theirsB) Japan's economic success is a result of its scientific achievementsC) Japanese preschool education emphasizes academic instructionD) Japanese parents are more involved in preschool education than American parents12. Most Americans surveyed believe that preschools should also attach importance toA) parental guidanceB) problem solvingC) group experienceD) individually-oriented development13. In Japan's preschool education, the focus is onA) tapping children's potentialB) shaping children's characterC) preparing children academicallyD) developing children's artistic interests14. Free play has been introduced in some Japanese kindergartens in order toA) enrich children's knowledgeB) cultivate children's creativityC) broaden children's horizonD) lighten children's study load15. Why do some Japanese parents send their children to university:based kindergartens?A) They can do better in their future studies.B) They can be individually oriented when they grow up.C) They can have better chances of getting a first-rate education.D) They can accumulate more group experience there.Passage TWO Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.Exercise is one of the few factors with a positive role in long-term maintenance of body weight.Unfortunately, that message has not gotten through to the average American, who would rather try switching to "light" beer and low-calorie bread than increase physical exertion. The Centers for Disease Control, for example, found that fewer than one-fourth of overweight adults who were trying to shed pounds said they were combining exercise with their diet.In rejecting exercise, some people may be discouraged too much by caloric-expenditure charts;for example, one would have to briskly walk three miles just to work off the 275 calories in one delicious Danish pastry (小甜饼). Even exercise professionals concede half a point here. "Exercise by itself is a very tough way to lose weight," says York Onnen, program director of the President's Council on Physical Fitness and Sports.Still, exercise's supporting role in weight reduction is vital. A study at the Boston University Medical Center of overweight police officers and other public employees confirmed that those who dieted without exercise regained almost all their old weight, while those who worked exercise into their daily routine maintained their new weight.If you have been sedentary (极少活动的) and decide tostart walking one mile a day, the added exercise could burn an extra 100 calories daily. In a year's time, assuming no increase in food intake, you could lose ten pounds. By increasing the distance of your walks gradually and making other dietary adjustments, you may lose even more weight.16. What is said about the average American in the passage?A) They usually ignore the effect of exercise on losing weight.B) They prefer "light" beer and low-calorie bread to other drinks and food.C) They know the factors that play a positive role in keeping down body weight.D) They tend to exaggerate the healthful effect of "light" beer.17. Some people dislike exercise becauseA) they find it hard to exercise while on a dietB) they don't think it possible to walk 3 miles every dayC) they think it is physically exhaustingD) they find consulting caloric-expenditure charts troublesome18.

That's because the prescription drugs available for the flu need to be taken soon after the illness sets in. As for colds, the sooner aperson starts taking over-the-counter remedy, the sooner relief will come.The common cold and the flu are both caused by viruses. More than 200 viruses can cause cold symptoms, while the flu is caused by three viruses - flu A, B and C. There is no curefor eitherillness, but the flu can be prevented by the flu vaccine ( ~-~ ), which is, for most people, the bestway to fight the flu, according to the ALA.But if the flu does strike, quick action can help. Although the flu and common cold have manysimilarities, there are some obvious signs to look for.Cold symptoms such as stuffy nose, runny nose and scratchy throat typically develop gradually, and adults and teens often do not get a fever. On the other hand, fever is one of the characteristic features of the flu for all ages. And in general, flu symptoms including fever and chills, sore throat and body aches come on suddenly and are more severe than cold symptoms.The ALA notes that it may be particularly difficult to tell when infants and preschool age children have the flu. It advises parents to call the doctor if their small children have flu-like symptoms.Both cold and flu symptoms can be eased with over-the-counter medications as well. However,children and teens with a cold or flu should not take aspirin for pain relief because of the risk of Reye syndrome(综合症) ,a rare but serious condition of the liver and central nervous system.Reye syndrome .There is, of course, no vaccine for the common cold. But frequent hand washing and avoiding close contact with people who have colds can reduce the likelihood of Catching one.21. According to the author, knowing the cause of the misery will helpA) prevent people from catching colds and the fluB) the patient obtain cheaper prescription drugsC) the patient buy medicine over the counterD) shorten the duration of the illness22. We learn from the passage thatA) over-the-counter drugs can be taken to ease the misery caused by a cold or the fluB) one doesn't need to take any medicine if he has a cold or the fluC) aspirin should not be included in over-the-counter medicines for the fluD) delayed treatment of the flu will harm the liver and central nervous system23. According to the passage, to combat the flu effectively,A) one should take medicine upon catching the diseaseB) one should identify the virus which causes itC) one should consult a doctor as soon as possibleD) one should remain alert when the disease is spreading24. Which of the following symptoms will distinguish the flu from a cold?A) A sore throat.B)A stuffy nose.C) A dry cough.D) A high temperature.25. If children have flu-like symptoms, their parentsA) are encouraged to take them to hospital for vaccinationB) are advised not to give them aspirinC) should watch out for signs of Reye syndromeD) should prevent them from mixing with people running a feverPassage FOUR Questions 21 to 25 are based on thefollowing passage.Lead deposits, which accumulated in soil and snow during the 1960's and 70's, were primarily the result of leaded gasoline emissions originating in the United States. In the twenty years that the Clean Air Act has mandated unleaded gas use in the United States, the lead accumulation world-wide has decreased significantly.A study published recently in the journal Nature shows that air-borne leaded gas emissions from the United States were the leading contributor to the high concentration of lead in the snow in Greenland. The new study is a result of the continued research led by Dr. Charles Boutron, an expert on the impact of heavy metals on the environment at the National Center for Scientific Research in France. A study by Dr. Boutron published in 1991 showed that lead levels in arctic(北极的) snow were declining.In his new study, Dr. Boutron found the ratios of the different forms of lead in the leaded gasoline used in the United States were different from the ratios of European, Asian and Canadian gasolines and thus enabled scientists to differentiate ( 分区) the lead sources. The dominant lead ratio found in Greenland snow matched that found in gasoline from the United States.In a study published in the journal Ambio, scientists found that lead levels in soil in the North-eastern United States had decreased markedly since the introduction of unleaded gasoline.Many scientists had believed that the lead would stay in soil and snow for a longer period.The authors of the Ambio study examined samples ofthe upper layers of soil taken from the same sites of 30 forest floors in New England, New York and Pennsylvania in 1980 and in 1990.The forest environment processed and redistributed the lead faster than the scientists had expected.Scientists say both studies demonstrate that certain parts of the ecosystem (生态系统 ) respond rapidly to reductions in atmospheric pollution, but that these findings should not be used as a license to pollute.26. The study published in the journal Nature indicates thatA) lead deposits in arctic snow are on the increaseB) the Clean Air Act has not produced the desired resultsC) the US is the major source of lead pollution in arctic snowD) lead will stay in soil and snow longer than expected27. Lead accumulation worldwide decreased significantly after the use of unleaded gas in the USA) was introducedB) was discouragedC) was prohibited by lawD) was enforced by law28. How did scientists discover the source of lead pollution in Greenland?A) By analyzing the data published in journals like Nature and Ambio.B) By studying the chemical elements of soil and snow in Northeastern America.C) By comparing the chemical compositions of leadedgasoline used in various countries.D) By observing the lead accumulations in different parts of the arctic area.29. The authors of the Ambio study have found thatA) forests get rid of lead pollution faster than expectedB) lead deposits are widely distributed in the forests of the USC) lead accumulations in forests are more difficult to deal withD) the upper layers of soil in forests are easily polluted by lead emissions30. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that scientistsA) lack sufficient means to combat lead pollutionB) still consider lead pollution a problem。

But when he heard a noise in the living room and saw a light was on, he went downstairs.There he found two men. They asked him his name, and told him they were friends of the family.Unfortunately, Russell believed them. They asked him where the video recorder was. Russell showed them, and said they had a stereo and CD player, too.The two men carried these to the kitchen. Russell also told them that his mother kept her purse in a drawer in the kitchen,so they took that. Russell even gave them his pocket money—50 p.They finally left at 4 a.m. They said, "Will you open the back door while we take these things to the car, because we don't want to wake Mummy and Daddy, do we?" So Russell held the door open for them. He then went back to bed.His parents didn't know about the burglary until they got up the next day. His father said," We couldn't be angry with Russell because he thought he was doing the right thing."Fortunately, the police caught the two burglars a week later.。

Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.Questions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage.Federal Express is a company that specializes in rapid overnight delivery ofhigh-priority packages. The first company of its type, Federal Express was founded by the youthful Fred Smith in 1971, when he was only 28 years old. Smith had actually developed the idea for the rapid delivery service in a term paper for an economics class when he was a student at Yale University. The term paper reputedly received aless-than-stellar grade because of the infeasibility of the project that Smith had outlined. The model that Smith proposed had never been tried; it was a model that was efficient to operate but at the same time was very difficult to institute.Smith achieved efficiency in his model by designing a system that was separate from the passenger system and could, therefore, focus on how to deliver packages mostefficiently. His strategy was to have his own planes so that he could create his own schedules and to ship all packages through the centralized hub city of Memphis, a set-up which resembles the spokes on the wheel of a bicycle. With this combination of his own planes and hub set-up, he could get packages anywhere in the United States overnight.What made Smith's idea difficult to institute was the fact that the entire system had to be created before the company could begin operations. He needed a fleet of aircraft to collect packages from airports every night and deliver them to Memphis, where they were immediately sorted and flown out to their new destinations; he needed a fleet of trucks to deliver packages to and from the various airports; he needed facilities and trained staff all in place to handle the operation. Smith had a $4 million inheritance from his father, and he managed to raise an additional 91 million dollars from venture capitalists to get the company operating.Questions:56. The most appropriate title for this passage is _______ .A. The Problems and Frustrations of a Business StudentB. The Importance of Business StudiesC. The Capitalization of Federal ExpressD. The Implementation of a Successful Business57. What is stated in the passage about Smith's term paper?A. Smith submitted it through a delivery service.B. It was written by a student of Smith's.C. The grade was not quite satisfactory.D. The professor thought it had great potential.58. What was Smith's key idea?A. That he should focus on passenger service.B. That package delivery should be separate from passenger service.C. That packages could be delivered on other companies' planes.D. That passenger service had to be efficient.59. Which of the following drawings most closely resembles a hub?60. It can be inferred from the passage that Smith selected Memphis as his hub city because it _______ .A. was near the middle of the countryB. had a large number of passenger aircraftC. already had a large package delivery serviceD. was a favorite passenger airportSection B Short Answer Questions (20 points)Directions: In this section, there are 2 passages followed by 10 questions or unfinished statements. Read the passages carefully, and answer the questions in the fewest possible words (not exceeding 10 words). Remember to write the answers on the Answer Sheet.Questions 61 to 65 are based on the following passage.A call home can cost £1.37 a minBRITISH tourists are still ripped off by mobile phone firms charging over the odds for “roaming” s ervices, the European Commission has found.Calls made or received on mobiles while abroad cost up to £1.37 a minute—or 19 times as much as domestic calls, a study revealed.Users have to pay roaming charges when using a foreign network, under an agreement with their own operator.Mobiles automatically switch to a local network when outside the UK.Companies such as Vodafone and T-Mobile are accused of abusing their dominant position by charging high fees and passing them on to customers.British operator Vodafone and T-Mobile's parent company Deutsche Telekom are guilty of anti-competitive practices in Germany, the EC claims.If found guilty, both could be fined millions of pounds for abusing their monopoly. Vodafone is appealing against earlier EC allegations that its British roaming rates are “unfair and excessive”.Jonathan Morris, of What Mobile? magazine, said: “If people use their phone when away, they can rack up hundreds of pounds quickly. Making quick calls won't help as calls are charged by the minute, not the second.”Questions:61. Mobile phone firms cheat British tourists by making them pay too much money for ______________.62. Which mobile phone company is cheapest to call UK from Australia?63. If found guilty, which two mobile phone firms could be fined millions of pounds for abusing their monopoly?64. What are the European Commission's allegations about Vodafone?65. How will people be charged if they use their phone when away?Questions 66 to 70 are based on the following passage.Computer users fed up with hacker attacks and other security threats that exploit holes in Microsoft software are increasingly turning to alternatives such as open source Internet browsers developed by Mozilla.“It's reflective of a trend that we've seen over the last year with more web users becoming frustrated with the Internet experience,” said Chris Hoffmann of t he Mozilla Foundation, a non-profit group supported by Sun Microsystems, IBM and other companies, backing as an alternative to Microsoft.Much of that frustration has centered on Microsoft, which has been heavily criticized for producing software vulnerable to hand virus writers. Microsoft has responded with a series of patches designed to plug vulnerabilities in its Windows operating system, Internet Explorer web browser and other software.But computer owners are growing weary of continuously updating software to protect against new threats. One incident last month enabled hackers to gain access to web surfers' computers by taking advantage of vulnerabilities in Microsoft's browser.Hackers could then install remote access Trojan programs that enabled them to control a victim's computer. The hackers could also install software to capture a victim's keystrokes to steal data such as bank account numbers and passwords.Mr. Hoffmann hoped publicity stemming from Microsoft's security woes(灾难)would translate into a market share increase for Mozilla's software, which includes the new highly regarded Firefox Internet browser.But Mozilla suffered a setback last week when it was forced to issue a software patch to counter a newly discovered vulnerability affecting its Internet browsers.Still, Mr. Hoffmann said Microsoft's security woes stem in part from the way its browser has been integrated into Windows for user convenience. Security experts agree that has made it easier for hackers to exploit computers running on Microsoft software.Others suggest Microsoft has been targeted by hackers and virus writers simply because more than 90 per cent of the world's computers run on the software giant's operating system.Questions:66. What is the m eaning of the phrase “fed up with” (Para.1)?67. It can be guessed that the word “plug” (Para.3) means ________________.68. More web users have become frustrated because _______________.69. What happened to Mozilla's Internet browsers last week?70. How would Microsoft be less vulnerable?Section C True (T) or False (F) (10 points)Directions: In this section, there is 1 passage with 10statements. Read the passage and decide which of thestatements at the end of the passage are true and which arefalse. Remember to write the answers on the Answer Sheet.Questions 71 to 80 are based on the following passage.Brad & Jen: Still Co-workersSuperstar Hollywood couple Pitt, currently starring inthe crime caper Ocean's Twelve, and Aniston, best knownfor her TV role as Rachel Green in Friends, have separatedafter 4.5 years of marriage, but they remain “committed andcaring friends”. The announcement of their split followed months of tabloid stories about spousal ups and downs, including reports that Pitt, 41, wanted to become a father but Aniston, 35, was reluctant to start a family.Aniston had been photographed recently without her wedding ring, but just two days ago the New York Post splashed a picture of the couple on its front page with a circle around Aniston's hand and the headline: “The Ring's Back On!”Pitt, one of Hollywood's most sought-after leading men, and Aniston, who became a household name on the long-running NBC television comedy Friends, met on a dinner date in 1998. They were married in a lavish, celebrity-studded wedding in the seaside California resort of Malibu on July 29, 2000. News of their breakup came in an understated announcement released late on Friday afternoon through “People” magazine.“We would like to announce that after seven years together we have decided to formally separate,” they said: “For those who follow these sorts of things, we would like to explain that our separation is not the result of any of the speculation reported by the tabloid media. This decision is a result of much thoughtful consideration. We happily remain committed and caring friends with great love and admiration for one another. We ask in advance for your kindness and sensitivity in the coming months.”Brad and Jen may be history, but their production company will soldier on. The future of the former power couple's Plan B Entertainment shingle, formed with new Paramount Pictures CEO Brad Grey, has been the subject of much speculation since Pitt and Aniston announced their split. Now reps for both stars say they hope to remain producing partners and that Plan B will continue putting out films in the meantime. However, with Pitt and Aniston readjusting to the single life and Grey getting used to life atop the “mount”, it's possible that certain Plan B projects in earlier stages of development could eventually be dropped.Statements:71. Aniston wanted to start a family.72. Aniston was once photographed without her wedding ring, which indicates her separation with Pitt.73. They got married after they knew each other for more than seven years.74. They announced their split in “People” magazine.75. Pitt and Aniston got separated after thoughtful consideration.76. Pitt and Aniston became famous because of their excellent performance in the movies.77. They promised that they would not interfere with each other after their separation.78. They will be kind and sensitive to the media in the coming months.79. Pitt and Aniston will hopefully continue to cooperate in film production.80. Pitt and Aniston's separation won't affect their projects.Part VI Cloze (10 minutes, 10 points)Directions: There are 10 blanks in the passage.

For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D.

All this makes it difficult to decide exactly how much the tax is.There was a certain artist who was always very careful to pay the proper amount.One year, after posting his check as usual, he began to wonder if he had paid enough, and after a lot of work, with a pencil and paper, decided that he had not. He believed that he owed the government something.He was just writing another check to sent to the tax-collector when the postman dropped a letter into the box at the front door. Opening it, the artist was surprised to find inside it a check for five pounds from the tax-collector. The official explained that too much had been paid, and that therefore the difference was now returned to the taxpayer.36. According to the passage, to decide the exact amount of tax to be paid is _________.A、simpleB、easyC、difficultD、interesting37. It is mentioned in the passage that one has to pay tax according to ________.A、how much education on has receivedB、whether one is single or marriedC、how old one’s children areD、where one lives38.

After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C and D. Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.Passage OneMonopoly is one of the most popular games in the world. Its popularity is remarkable as it was invented more than 70 years ago, in 1933. That was the year when an unemployed heating engineer called Charles Darrow decided to make up a new game for his family and friends to play.Darrow lived in Pennsylvania in the USA. In the 1930s, the whole country was in the grip of the Great Depression. Many people were unemployed and very poor. Darrow thought that people would enjoy forgetting about their difficult lives for a while. His game would give them a chance to buy and sell houses and hotels, railroad stations, and entire streets. Just for a few hours, even poor people could be millionaires (although with fake dollars, unfortunately).Darrow made the first set of his game, which he called Monopoly, from simple materials. He taught his family to play, and they loved it. They played it with their friends, and their friends loved it too. Everyone who played the game thought it was really fun.Darrow was sure that other people would enjoy Monopoly. He tried to sell the game to Parker Brothers, a large games manufacturer, but they weren't interested. So, he decided to sell Monopoly himself. It was an instant success, and Darrow sold all the 5,000 sets he had made. When Parker Brothers heard about this, they realized their mistake and began to manufacture the game. Over the next year, more than a million sets were sold, and Monopoly went on to become the biggest-selling game ever. Since then, Monopoly has sold around 100 million sets, and has been translated into 19 languages. One year in the USA, there was twice as much Monopoly money printed as real money!And what about the inventor of this amazing game? Thanks to the success of his invention, Charles Darrow became a multimillionaire, with real dollars this time.Questions 21 to 25 are based on the passage you have just heard.21. When was Monopoly invented? (A)22. Why did Darrow think that people would enjoy playing Monopoly? (B)23. Did Darrow's family like the game? (C)24. Who made the very first Monopoly set? (C)25. How many Monopoly sets were sold in the first year Parker Brothers made the game? (D)Passage TwoAmerican English has spread in popularity mostly due to business, Hollywood, the Internet, and education. Many countries still consider British English the “real thing” when it comes to studying English in the classroom, but it seems American English is being used more by second-language English speakers on the street and in their private lives. The funder and co-editor of the journal World English agrees, “American English is spreading faster than British English”, and this spreading has even had some impact in England itself.Several factors can account for the wider use of American English. In 1993, the United States controlled 75 percent of the world's television programming with satellites sending television shows like “Sesame Street” and “E.R.” to every corner of the world. Hollywood exports also accounted for a huge share of the movie market in Europe, Asia, and South America. Another key factor is that Americans simply outnumber Britons. If a person travels widely, the chances are better that she or he will run into one of the 260 million Americans rather than one of the 55 million Britons. In other words, of the 350 million people who speak English as their first language, 70 percent speak the American version of English. Therefore, speaking American English is simply more practical.Bill Bryson, an American writer who has written several books on the history of English, says, “There is no question that Britain made English an international language in the 19th century with its empire. But it's Americans that have been the driving force behind theglobalization of English in the 20th century.” Bryson considers that the commercial and cultural influence that the United States has had since World War II is the power behind this“driving force”.Questions 26 to 30 are based on the passage you have just heard.26. What account for the wider use of American English according to the passage? (B)27. Which statement is true about American English and British English? (A)28. Which statement is not a reason for the wider use of American English? (C)29. When did English become an international language? (B)30. Why did English become an international language in the 19th century according to Bill Bryson? (D)Part II Vocabulary and Structure(5 minutes, 10 points)31. C 32. D 33. B 34. D 35. C 36. C 37. A 38.
