Table mannersPeople who go to a formal western dinner party for the first time may be surprised by the table manners in western culture. Knowing them will help you make a good impression. Having good table manners means knowing, for example, how to use knives and forks, when to drink a toast and how to behave at the table. Beside your napkin(餐巾)，you will find a small bread roll and three glasses----one for white wine, one for red wine, and one for water. There are two pairs of knives and forks on the table, forks on the left and knives on the right of the plate. When you see two spoons(汤匙)，the big one is for the soup and the small one for the dessert. The knife and fork that are closest to your plate are a little bit bigger than ones beside them. When you sit down at the table, you can take your napkin, unfold it and put it on your lap(膝盖)。

Cell PhonesBelieve it or not, cell phones have been around for over a quarter of a century. The first commercial (商业的) cell phone system was developed by the Japanese in 1979. But cell phones have changed a lot since that time. The early cell phones were big and heavy but they have been developed into small and light palm-sized models. There have been huge developments in their functions, too. We have had cell forwarding, text messaging, answering services and hands-free use for years, but now there are countless new uses, such as instant access to the internet and receiving and sending photos.Cell phones have become very common in our lives; recent statistics suggest as many as one in three people on the planet now have a cell phone, and most of them say they can’t live without one. Cell phones are used in every area of our lives and have become a necessary tool, used for essential arrangements, social contact and business. They have made it easier to call for help on the highway. They have made it possible to keep in touch with people” on the move” when people are traveling.Cell phones have made communication easier and have reduced the need for family arguments. We can use cell phones to let our family know we’ll be late or if there’s a change of plan or an emergency(紧急情况)。

Choose the one that you think is the best answer. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET TWOTEXT AAfter breakfast the boys wandered out into the play-ground. Here the day-boys were gradually assembling. They were sons of the local clergy, of the officers at the Depot, and of such manufacturers or men of business as the old town possessed. Presently a bell rang, and they all trooped into school. This consisted of a large, long room at opposite ends of which two under masters conducted the second and third forms, and of a smaller one, leading out of it, used by Mr. Watson, who taught the first form. To attach the preparatory to the senior school these three classes were known officially, on speech days and in reports, as upper, middle, and lower second. Philip was put in the last. The master, a red-faced man with a pleasant voice, was called Rice; he had a jolly manner with boys, and the time passed quickly. Philip was surprised when it was quarter to eleven and they were let out for ten minutes' rest.The whole school rushed noisily into the play-ground. The new boys were told to go into the middle, while the others stationed themselves along opposite walls. They began to play Pig in the Middle. The old boys ran from wall to wall while the new boys tried to catch them: when one was seized and the mystic words said - one, two, three, and a pig for me - he became a prisoner and, turning sides, helped to catch those who were still free. Philip saw a boy running past and tried to catch him, but his limp gave him no chance; and the runners, taking their opportunity, made straight for the ground he covered. Then one of them had the brilliant idea of imitating Philip’s clumsy run. Other boys saw it and began to laugh; then they all copied the first; and they ran round Philip, limping grotesquely, screaming with shrill laughter. They lost their heads with the delight of their new amusement, and choked with helpless merriment. One of them tripped Philip up and he fell, heavily as he always fell, and cut his knee. They laughed all the louder when he got up. A boy pushed him from behind, and he would have fallen again if another had not caught him. The game was forgotten in the entertainment of Philip’s deformity. Philip was completely scared. He could not make out why they were laughing at him. His heart beat so that he could hardly breathe, and he was more frightened than he had ever been in his life. He stood still stupidly while the boys ran round him, mimicking and laughing; they shouted to him to try and catch them; but he did not move. He did not want them to see him run any more. He was using all his strength to prevent himself from crying.81. From the beginning of the passage we learn that ________.A. some pupils came from the local areaB. the school only accepted day-boysC. the school had only three classesD. Phili p’s class was part of the senior school82. What was Philip’s reaction to his class?A. He thought class was too short.B. He found his class surprising.C. He seemed to have enjoyed it.D. He wanted to change class.83. In the game Philip lost his ground because ________.A. the game wasn’t fit for new boys like himB. the playground wasn’t big enough for the gameC. he did not know the rules of the gameD. he could not run as quickly as other boys84. What did the boys do after Philip lost his ground?A. They continued with the game.B. They stopped to make fun of him.C. They changed to another game.D. They stopped and went inside.85. How did Philip feel in the end?A. He was ashamed of himself.B. He was very nervous.C. He was really horrified.D. He felt himself stupid. TEXT BFor parents who send their kids off to college saying, “These will be the best years of your life,” it would be very appropriate to add, “If you can handle the stress of college life.”Freshmen are showing up already stressed out, according to the latest research study that reported students’ emotional health levels at their lowest since the survey started in 1985. While in school, more students are working part-time and near-full-time jobs. At graduation, only 29 percent of seniors have jobs lined up.Pressure to excel often creates stress, and many students are not learning how to effectively handle this stress. Let me show five facts that I believe every college student should know about stress.First, stress can make smart people do stupid things. Stress causes what brain researchers call “cortical inhibition.” In simple terms, stress inhibits a part of the brain responsible for decision-making and reaction time and can adversely affect other mental abilities as well.Second, t he human body doesn’t discriminate between a big stressful event and a little one. Any stressful experience will create about 1,400 biochemical events in your body. If any amount of stress is left unchecked, many things can occur within the body, including premature aging, impaired cognitive function and energy drain.Third, stress can become your new pattern. When you regularly experience negative feelings and high amounts of stress, your brain recognizes this as your normal state. This then becomes the new norm, or baseline for your emotional state.Fourth, stress can be controlled. Countless studies demonstrate that people can restructure their emotional state using emotion-refocusing techniques. Thesetechniques help you recognize how you are feeling and shift to a more positive emotional, mental and physical state.One technique involves slowing your thoughts and focusing on your heartbeat, breathing slowly and deeply, and focusing on the positive feeling that you receive.Finally, stress can be lessened by loving what you study. Barbara Frederickson, a leading international authority on the importance of positive emotions, says humans are genetically programmed to seek positive emotions such as love and joy. It's suggested to choose a major or career path you love and enjoy. Otherwise, you could end up fighting against your own biology.86. The author cites the latest research study in order to show that ________.第5 / 9页A. students are studying harder in collegeB. most students have part-time job nowC. stress continues to the time of graduationD. students only feel stressed while in school87. According to the passage, stress might cause all the following negative effects EXCEPT ________.A. socialB. mentalC. emotionalD. physical88. In the author’s opinion, stress can be controlled by ________.A. doing what you preferB. identifying your present emotional state firstC. finding a more positive feeling firstD. focusing on your emotional state89. According to the context, what does “your own biology” mean in the last paragraph?A. Your current major.B. Your future job.C. Your future research.D. Your preference.90. Which of the following is the best as the title of the passage?A. Causes of Stress.B. Type of Stress. CollegeC. Life and Stress.D. Stress and Control Methods.TEXT CFor anyone who doubts that the texting revolution is upon us, consider this: The average 13- to 17-year-old sends and receives 3,339 texts a month—more than 100 per day, according to the Nielsen Co., the media research firm. Adults are catching up. People from ages 45 to 54 sent and received 323 texts a month in the second quarter of 2010, up 75% from a year ago, Nielsen says.Behind the texting explosion is a fundamental shift in how we view our mobile devices. That they are phones is increasingly beside the point.Part of what's driving the texting surge among adults is the popularity of social media. Sites like Twitter, with postings of no more than 140 characters, are creating and reinforcing the habit of communicating in micro-bursts.Economics has much to do with texting’s popularity. Text messages cost carriers less than traditional mobile voice transmissions, and so they cost users less. Sprint Nextel has reconceived its Virgin Mobile brand to cater to heavy texters in a difficult economy. For $25 per month, users get unlimited texting, email, social networking and 300 talk minutes; for another $15, they get an additional 900 talk minutes. The name of the brand's new wireless plan: “Beyond Talk.”Texting’s rise over conversation is changing the way we interact, social scientists and researchers say. We are now inclined to text to relay difficult information. We stare at our phone when we want to avoid eye contact. Rather than make plans in advance, we engage in what research have named “micro-coordination”—”I’ll txt u in 10mins when I know wh/ restrnt.”Texting saves us time, but it steals from quiet reflection. “When people have a mobile device and have even a little extra time, they will communicate with someone in their life,” says Lee Rainie, director of the Pew Internet and American Life Project. And the phone conversation will never be completely obsolete. Deal makers and other professionals still spend much of the day on the phone. Researchers say people are more likely to use text-based communications at the preliminary stages of projects. The phone comes into play when there are multiple options to consider or important decisions to be made.91. At the beginning of the passage, the author uses figures for the purpose of ________.A. introductionB. comparisonC. explanationD. transition92. According to the context, which of the following is closest in meaning to “beside the point”?A. Unimportant.B. Unacknowledged.C. Underestimated.D. Undeniable.93. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a cause for texting’s popularity?A. Promotion of cheaper wireless packages.B. Increase in the number of adult texters.C. Redesign of mobile devices.D. Rise of social media.94. According to the passage, texting can help people to ________.A. face difficult situationsB. make appointments in advanceC. communicate wish strangersD. avoid awkward situations95. What is the passage mainly about?A. Texting’s popularity and effect.B. Role of texti ng in business.C. Preference to texting over thinking.D. Innovation of mobile devices.TEXT DThe healthy adolescent boy or girl likes to do the real things in life, to do the things that matter. He would rather be a plumber’s mate and do a real job that requires doing than learn about hydrostatics sitting at a desk, without understanding what practical use they are going to be. A girl would rather look after the baby than learn about child care. Logically we should learn about things before doing them and that is presumably why the pundits enforce this in our educational system. But it is not the natural way-nor, I venture to think, the best way. The adolescent wants to do things first for only then does he appreciate the problems involved and want to learn more about them.They do these things better in primitive life, for there at puberty the boy joins his father in making canoes, patching huts, going out fishing or hunting. He is serving his apprenticeship in the actual accomplishments of life. It is not surprising that anthropologists(人类学家) find that the adolescents of primitive communities do not suffer from the same neurotic(神经质的) “difficulties” as those of civilized life. This is not, as some assume, because they are permitted more sexual freedom, but because they are given more natural outlets for thei-rnative interests and powers and are allowed to grow up freely into a full lif-e of responsibility in the community.In the 19th century this was recognized in the apprenticeship system, which allowed the boy to go out with the master carpenter, or ploughman, to engage in the actual work of carpentry or roof-mending, and so to learn his trade. In some agricultural colleges at the present time young men have to do a ye-ar’s work on a farm before their theoretical training at college. The great advantage of this system is that it lets the apprentice see the practical problems before he sets to work learning how to solve them, and he can therefore take a more intelligent interest in his theoretical work.Since more knowledge of more things is now required in order to cope with the adult world, the period of growing-up to independence takes much longer than it did in a more primitive community, and the responsibility for such education, which formerly was in the hands of the parents, is now necessarily undertaken by experts at school. But that should not make us lose sight of the basic principle, namely the need and the desire of the adolescent to engage responsibly in the real pursuits of life and then to learn how — to learn through responsibility, not to learn before responsibility.96. According to the author, what is the natural way of education?A. Doing things while learning.B. Doing things as an apprentice.C. Doing things before learning.D. Learning practical knowledge first.97. The main advantage of the natural way of education, whether in primitive or modern times, is that learners ________.A. can learn the trade through solving problems at workB. can work with their masters throughout their learningC. are given more freedom in doing things and learningD. are given opportunities to develop their interest first98. According to the context, “this” in the third paragraph refers to ________.A. the way of learning in primitive communitiesB. the difficulties modern adolescents experienceC. the amount of freedom in learning in primitive lifeD. the kind of skills boys learned from their father。

I. CAREFUL READINGRead the following passages carefully. Decide on the best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the ANSWER SH EET. (40 points, 2 points each)Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.The passengers on the bus watched sympathetically as the you ng woman with the white cane made her way cautiously up th e steps. She paid the driver and then, using her hands to feel the location of the seats, settled into one. She pla ced her briefcase on her lap and rested her cane against h er leg.It had been a year since Susan, thirty-four, became blind. As the result of a medical accident she was sightless, suddenly thrown into a world of darkness, a nger, frustration and self-pity. All she could cling to was her husband Mark.Mark was an Air Force officer and he loved Susan with all his heart. When she first lost her sight, he watched her sink into despair and he became determined to use every m eans to help his wife.Finally, Susan felt ready to return to her job, but how wo uld she get there? She used to take the bus, but she was now too frightened to get around the city by herself. Mar k volunteered to ride the bus with Susan each morning andevening until she got the hang of (摸清情况) it. And that was exactly what happened.For two weeks, Mark, military uniform and all, accompanied S usan to and from work each day. He taught her how to rely on her other senses, specifically her hearing, to determine where she was and how to adapt to her new environment. H e helped her befriend the bus drivers who could watch out for her, and save her a seat.Each morning they made the journey together, and Mark would take a taxi back to his office. Although the routine of going back and forth was costly, Mark knew it was only a matter of time before Susan would be able to ride the bus on her own.Finally, Susan decided that she was ready to try the trip on her own. Monday morning arrived. Before she left, she em braced her husband tightly. Her eyes filled with tears of g ratitude for his loyalty, his patience, and his love. She s aid good-bye and, for the first time, they went their separate ways. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday... Each day on her own went perfectly, and a wild gaiety (快乐) took hold of Susan.

However, the reality is quite opposite. Appearance is especially important in th e early stages of a relationship.The influence of physical attractiveness begins early in life . Infants as young as six months prefer images of attractiv e faces to less appealing ones. From age five on, overweigh t boys are viewed by peers as less attractive; tall, thin ones are judged as uncommunicative and nervous; and muscular and athletic youngsters are seen as outgoing, active, and popular. The same principle continues into adult life. Handso me men and beautiful women are seen as more sensitive, kind , interesting, strong, calm, modest, sociable, outgoing, and exciting than their less attractive counterparts. Adults are more likely to interact with strangers who they view as att ractive. Senior citizens also rate good-looking people as more desirable than those who are less at tractive.Although we might assume that attractive people are radically different from those who are less attractive, the truth is that we view the familiar as beautiful. Langlois and Roggm an presented students with two types of photos: some were i mages of people from North European, Asian, and Latino backg rounds, while others **puter-generated images **bined the characteristics of several indivi duals. Surprisingly, the students consistently preferred **posi te photos of both men and women. When the features of eigh t or more individuals **bined into one image, the students rated the picture as more attractive than the features of a single person or of a **bination of people. Thus, we seem to be drawn to people who represent the most attractive q ualities of ourselves and those people aren't different from the rest of us.Even if your appearance isn't beautiful by social standards, consider these encouraging facts: first, ordinary-looking people with pleasing personalities are likely to be judged as being attractive; second, physical factors become l ess important as a relationship progress. As Hamachek puts it, “Attractive features may open doors, but apparently, it takes more than physical beauty to keep them open.”SSS_SINGLE_SEL6.“The same principle”(Para. 2) refers to the principle tha t ______.A children are more attractive than adultsB attractive people are perceived as desirableC the early stages of a relationship are importantD the influence of appearance begins early in life该题您未回答:х该问题分值: 2答案:BSSS_SINGLE_SEL7.The third paragraph emphasizes in part the importance of ___ ___.A familiarityB differenceC individualityD consistency该题您未回答:х该问题分值: 2答案:CSSS_SINGLE_SEL8.According to the passage, the **posite features people have, ______.A the more unique they areB the less ordinary they areC the more attractive they areD the less beautiful they are该题您未回答:х该问题分值: 2答案:ASSS_SINGLE_SEL9.In his statement, Hamachek is giving emphasis to ______.A social standardsB composite featuresC good characterD physical attraction该题您未回答:х该问题分值: 2答案:BSSS_SINGLE_SEL10.The best title for the passage is ______.A Beauty and AgeB Appearance and RelationshipC Standards of Social BehaviorD Features of Physical Attractiveness该题您未回答:х该问题分值: 2答案:BPassage 3Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage.The public schools of the United States—elementary, secondary, and higher—have a history, and it is the social history of the United States: the decades before the Civil War, in which the el ementary or “common schools”were reformed; the decades sur rounding the turn of the twentieth century, in which the se condary schools “welcomed”the “children of the plain peop le”;and the post-World War II decades, which found the public colleges and u niversities flooded non-traditional students—those traditionally excluded from higher education by sex, ra ce, and class.In each of these periods, the quantitative expansion of the student population was matched by a qualitative transformati on of the enlarged institutions. **mon schools of the mid-1800s were charged with reforming the moral character of the children of failed artisans (工匠) and farmers; the expanded high schools at the turn of the century with preparing their poor, working-class, and immigrant teenagers for future lives in city and factory; the “open-access”publicinstitutions in the postwar period with moving their students off the unemployment lines and into lower-level white-collar positions.**mon schools, the high schools, the colleges and universities—all in their own times—were expanded and transformed so that they might better main tain social order and increase material productivity. But no matter how enlarged or reformed, they could not do the jo bs expected of them: they could not solve the economic, soc ial, and human problems brought about by uncontrolled urbaniz ation and industrialization within the context of the private property system. The schooling reforms succeeded only in sh ifting the discussion and action from the social and product ive system to the people who were now held responsible for not fitting into it.SSS_SINGLE_SEL11.American education in the post-World War II decades focused mostly on ______.A early childhood educationB elementary school educationC secondary school educationD college education该题您未回答:х该问题分值: 2答案:DSSS_SINGLE_SEL12.The turn-of-the-century American education dealt partly with the problem of ______.A failed farmersB unsuccessful artisansC immigrant teenagersD lower-level white-collar workers该题您未回答:х该问题分值: 2答案:DSSS_SINGLE_SEL13.It is implied in the passage that women began to be educat ed in large numbers ______.A after the Civil WarB at the turn of the 20th centuryC before World War IID after World War II该题您未回答:х该问题分值: 2答案:DSSS_SINGLE_SEL14.One of the purposes for public school reformation is ______.A to increase material productivityB to impose the quality of educationC to urbanize rural areas in the United StatesD D. to promote industrialization in the United States该题您未回答:х该问题分值: 2答案:BSSS_SINGLE_SEL15.The author believes that public schools ______.A changed American political systemB could not solve American problemsC led to social problems in the United StatesD could not improve qualitatively in the United States该题您未回答:х该问题分值: 2答案:CPassage 4Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.Historical periods are dominated by distinct sets of ideas w hich form the general spirit of a period in history. Greek philosophy, Christianity, Renaissance thought, the Scientific Revolution, and the Enlightenment are examples of sets of ideas that dominated their historical periods. The changes fr om one period to the next are usually rather gradual.; othe r changes—more abrupt—are often referred to as revolutions. The most far-reaching of all these intellectual changes was the Darwinian revolution. The worldview formed by any thinking person in the Western world after 1859, when On the Origin of Speci es was published, was by necessity quite different from a w orldview formed before 1859. It is almost impossible for a modern person to project back to the early half of the nin eteenth century and reconstruct the thinking of this pre-Darwinian period, for the impact of Darwinism on our views has been so great.The intellectual revolution brought about by Darwin went far beyond the realm of biology, causing the overthrow of some of the most basic beliefs of his age. For example, Darwin rejected the belief in the individual creation of each spe cies, establishing in its place the concept that all of lif e descended from a common ancestor. By extension, he introdu ced the idea that humans were not the special products of creation but evolved according to principles that operate eve rywhere else in the living world. Darwin upset current notio ns of a perfectly designed natural and gentle world and sub stituted in their place the concept of a struggle for survi val. Victorian notions of progress and perfectibility were se riously weakened by Darwin's demonstration that evolution brin gs about change and adaptation, but it does not necessarily lead to progress, and it never leads to perfection.Darwin would be remembered as an outstanding scientist even if he had never written a word about evolution. Indeed, som e people believe that Darwin’s most original contribution to biology was not the theory of evolution but his series of books on experimental botany published near the end of his life.

SPEED READINGSkim or scan the following passages, and then decide on t he best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the ANSWER SHEET. (10 points, 1 point each)Passage 5Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.Potatoes are a tuber-producing crop originally grown in the Americas. Over 200 va rieties of wild potatoes grow from what is now Colorado to what are now Chile and Argentina. The native peoples of t he Andean region of South America were the first to domesti cate potatoes and to cultivate them as a food crop. The ea rliest potato, found in an archaeological site in central Pe ru, has been dated back to about 8000 B.C.. Scientists beli eve that American Indians began domesticating potatoes at the end of the Ice Age. Four thousand years later, native peo ples livingin the Andean highlands had begun to rely on potatoes as a major part of their diet. By about 2000 B.C.. Indians in the coastal region of what is now Peru were also cultivat ing this crop extensively.During the reign of the Inca, who established their empire in what is now Peru in about A.D. 1000, American Indian fa rmers were growing not only white potatoes but red, yellow, black, blue, green, and brown ones as well. They were del iberately developing potatoes of varying sizes and shapes tha t would do well under a number of growing conditions. Becau se potatoes were easily grown, flourish in a number of clim ates, and high in vitamin C, they were an efficient way of meeting dietary needs.In 1531, when Spanish conqueror Francisco Pizarro landed in what is now Peru, the native Andean peoples had developed a bout 3,000 types of potatoes and had also invented a method to freeze-dry them for storage. The Inca, who called potatoes papas, ate boiled potatoes as a vegetable and also made a kind of unleavened potato bread made from flour that had been grou nd from freeze-dried potatoes. They also added this potato flour to soups and stews and made porridge from it.Pedro de Cieza, who traveled with Francisco Pizarro's expedit ion, compared potatoes to chestnuts. Because the tubers grew underground and were small, the Spaniards believed potatoes were truffles (块菌) and began calling them tartuffo. When English explorer S ir Francis Drake crossed the Strait of Magellan, he ate pot atoes on the coast of what is now Chile that same year. Y et, historians are uncertain exactly whether the Spaniards or the English brought potatoes to Europe.SSS_SINGLE_SEL21.The earliest potato was found in ______.A PeruB ChileC ArgentinaD Colorado该题您未回答:х该问题分值: 1答案:ASSS_SINGLE_SEL22.Potatoes became the major source of food for American Indian s about ______.A 8000 B.C.B 4000 B.C.C 2000 B.C.D A.D.1000该题您未回答:х该问题分值: 1答案:ASSS_SINGLE_SEL23.American Indians developed potatoes of different sizes and sh apes to ______.A meet different dietary needsB get potatoes of different colorsC suit various growing conditionsD store them in convenient places该题您未回答:х该问题分值: 1答案:ASSS_SINGLE_SEL24.American Indians freeze-dried potatoes so that they could be ______.A stewedB groundC storedD boiled该题您未回答:х该问题分值: 1答案:CSSS_SINGLE_SEL25.Which of the following is true?A Historians believe that the English brought potatoes to Europe.B Sir Francis Drake ate potatoes in what is now Peru.C Francisco **pared potatoes to chestnuts.D The Spaniards thought that potatoes were truffles.该题您未回答:х该问题分值: 1答案:DPassage 6Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.The blogging craze of a couple of years ago, when it was estimated that ten new blogs were started somewhere in the world every minute, now seems to have died down a bit. Y et thousands of blogs—probably the better ones—remain. Blogs are now no longer seen as the exclusive posse ssion of geeks, and are now seen as important and influenti al sources of news and opinions. So many people read blogs now that it has even been suggested that some blogs may have been powerful enough to influence the result of the re cent U.S. election.Blogs are very easy to set up. All you need is a computer , an internet connection and the desire to write something.A blog differs from a traditional internet site in two ways. First, a blog is one page consisting mostly of texts, though a few pictures are sometimes provided. Second, andmore importantly, a blog is a space for people to respond to what you write. The best blogs are similar to online di scussions, where people write in response to what the blogge r has written. Blogs are regularly updated—busy blogs are updated every day, or even every few hours.Not all blogs are about politics, however. There are blogs about music, films, sports, books—any subject you can imagine has its enthusiasts typing away and giving their opinions to fellow enthusiasts or anyone else who cares to read their opinions.But how influential, or important, is the blogosphere really? One problem with blogs is that many people who read and write them seem only to communicate with each other. When p eople talk about the influence of the blogosphere, they do not take into account the millions of people around the wor ld who are not bloggers, never read blogs, and don't even have access to a computer, let alone a good internet connec tion.Sometimes, it seems that the blogosphere exists only to infl uence itself, or that its influence is limited to what is actually quite a **munity. Blogs seem to promise a virtual democracy—in which anyone can say anything they like, and have their opinions heard—but who is actually listening to these opinions? Little hard evidence shows that blogs have influenced people in the wa y that traditional mass media such as television and newspap ers are able to do.SSS_SINGLE_SEL26.Now the blogging craze ______.A is emergingB has become less intenseC keeps risingD remains the same as before该题您未回答:х该问题分值: 1答案:BSSS_SINGLE_SEL27.Blogs differ from traditional internet sites in that ______.A texts are mostly shortB they present picturesC they are daily updatedD readers can **ments该题您未回答:х该问题分值: 1答案:DSSS_SINGLE_SEL28.One problem with blogs is that bloggers fail to consider __ ____.A non-bloggersB virtual democracyC U.S. politiciansD internet connection该题您未回答:х该问题分值: 1答案:DSSS_SINGLE_SEL29.In the author's opinion, the influence of the blogosphere is ______.A importantB powerfulC positiveD limited该题您未回答:х该问题分值: 1答案:DSSS_SINGLE_SEL30.According to the author, it is not difficult to ______.A set up blogsB make blogs involve everyoneC show the importance of blogosphereD make blogs surpass traditional mass media该题您未回答:х该问题分值: 1答案:DIII.

Philip was surprised when it was quarter to eleven and they were let out for ten minutes' rest.The whole school rushed noisily into the play-ground. The new boys were told to go into the mid dle, while the others stationed themselves along opposite walls. They began to play Pig in the Mi ddle. The old boys ran from wall to wall while the new boys tried to catch them: when one was se ized and the mystic words said - one, two, three, and a pig for me - he became a prisoner and, tur ning sides, helped to catch those who were still free. Philip saw a boy running past and tried to ca tch him, but his limp gave him no chance; and the runners, taking their opportunity, made straigh t for the ground he covered. Then one of them had the brilliant idea of imitating Philip’s clumsy r un. Other boys saw it and began to laugh; then they all copied the first; and they ran round Philip, limping grotesquely, screaming with shrill laughter. They lost their heads with the delight of their new amusement, and choked with helpless merriment. One of them tripped Philip up and he fell, heavily as he always fell, and cut his knee. They laughed all the louder when he got up. A boy pus hed him from behind, and he would have fallen again if another had not caught him. The game w as forgotten in the entertainment of Philip’s deformity. Philip was completely scared. He could no t make out why they were laughing at him. His heart beat so that he could hardly breathe, and he was more frightened than he had ever been in his life. He stood still stupidly while the boys ran r ound him, mimicking and laughing; they shouted to him to try and catch them; but he did not mo ve. He did not want them to see him run any more. He was using all his strength to prevent himself from crying.81.

While in sch ool, more students are working part-time and near-full-time jobs. At graduation, only 29 percent of seniors have jobs lined up.Pressure to excel often creates stress, and many students are not learning how to effectively han dle this stress. Let me show five facts that I believe every college student should know about stre ss.First, stress can make smart people do stupid things. Stress causes what brain researchers call “co rtical inhibition.” In simple terms, stress inhibits a part of the brain responsible for decision-makin g and reaction time and can adversely affect other mental abilities as well.Second, the human body doesn’t discriminate between a big stressful event and a little one. Any stressful experience will create about 1,400 biochemical events in your body. If any amount of str ess is left unchecked, many things can occur within the body, including premature aging, impaire d cognitive function and energy drain.Third, stress can become your new pattern. When you regularly experience negative feelings and high amounts of stress, your brain recognizes this as your normal state. This then becomes the ne w norm, or baseline for your emotional state.Fourth, stress can be controlled. Countless studies demonstrate that people can restructure their emotional state using emotion-refocusing techniques. These techniques help you recognize howyou are feeling and shift to a more positive emotional, mental and physical state.One technique involves slowing your thoughts and focusing on your heartbeat, breathing slowly a nd deeply, and focusing on the positive feeling that you receive.Finally, stress can be lessened by loving what you study. Barbara Frederickson, a leading internati onal authority on the importance of positive emotions, says humans are genetically programmed to seek positive emotions such as love and joy. It's suggested to choose a major or career path yo u love and enjoy. Otherwise, you could end up fighting against your own biology.86. The author cites the latest research study in order to show that ________.A. students are studying harder in collegeB. most students have part-time job nowC. stress continues to the time of graduationD. students only feel stressed while in school87. According to the passage, stress might cause all the following negative effects EXCEPT ______ __.A. socialB. mentalC. emotionalD. physical88. In the author’s opinion, stress can be controlled by ________.A. doing what you preferB. identifying your present emotional state firstC. finding a more positive feeling firstD. focusing on your emotional state89. According to the context, what does “your own biology” mean in the last paragraph?A. Your current major.B. Your future job.C. Your future research.D. Your preference.90. Which of the following is the best as the title of the passage?A. Causes of Stress.B. Type of Stress.College C. Life and Stress. D. Stress and Control Methods.TEXT CFor anyone who doubts that the texting revolution is upon us, consider this: The average 13- to 1 7-year-old sends and receives 3,339 texts a month—more than 100 per day, according to the Niel sen Co., the media research firm. Adults are catching up. People from ages 45 to 54 sent and rece ived 323 texts a month in the second quarter of 2010, up 75% from a year ago, Nielsen says. Behind the texting explosion is a fundamental shift in how we view our mobile devices. That they are phones is increasingly beside the point.Part of what's driving the texting surge among adults is the popularity of social media. Sites like T witter, with postings of no more than 140 characters, are creating and reinforcing the habit of co mmunicating in micro-bursts.Economics has much to do with texting’s popularity. Text messages cost carriers less than traditio nal mobile voice transmissions, and so they cost users less. Sprint Nextel has reconceived its Virgi n Mobile brand to cater to heavy texters in a difficult economy. For $25 per month, users get unli mited texting, email, social networking and 300 talk minutes; for another $15, they get an additio nal 900 talk minutes. The name of the brand's new wireless plan: “Beyond Talk.”Texting’s rise over conversation is changing the way we interact, social scientists and researchers say. We are now inclined to text to relay difficult information. We stare at our phone when we want to avoid eye contact. Rather than make plans in advance, we engage in what research have na med “micro-coordination”—”I’ll txt u in 10mins when I know wh/ restrnt.”Texting saves us time, but it steals from quiet reflection. “When people have a mobile device and have even a little extra time, they will communicate with someone in their life,” says Lee Rainie, d irector of the Pew Internet and American Life Project.And the phone conversation will never be completely obsolete. Deal makers and other profession als still spend much of the day on the phone. Researchers say people are more likely to use text-b ased communications at the preliminary stages of projects. The phone comes into play when there are multiple options to consider or important decisions to be made.91. At the beginning of the passage, the author uses figures for the purpose of ________.A. introductionB. comparisonC. explanationD. transition92. According to the context, which of the following is closest in meaning to “beside the point”?A. Unimportant.B. Unacknowledged.C. Underestimated.D. Undeniable.93. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a cause for texting’s popularity?A. Promotion of cheaper wireless packages.B. Increase in the number of adult texters.C. Redesign of mobile devices.D. Rise of social media.94. According to the passage, texting can help people to ________.A. face difficult situationsB. make appointments in advanceC. communicate wish strangersD. avoid awkward situations95. What is the passage mainly about?A. Texting’s popularity and effect.B. Role of texting in business.C. Preference to texting over thinking.D. Innovation of mobile devices.TEXT DThe healthy adolescent boy or girl likes to do the real things in life, to do the things that matter. H e would rather be a plumber’s mate and do a real job that requires doing than learn about hydros tatics sitting at a desk, without understanding what practical use they are going to be. A girl woul d rather look after the baby than learn about child care. Logically we should learn about things be fore doing them and that is presumably why the pundits enforce this in our educational system. B ut it is not the natural way-nor, I venture to think, the best way. The adolescent wants to do thing s first for only then does he appreciate the problems involved and want to learn more about the m.They do these things better in primitive life, for there at puberty the boy joins his father in makin g canoes, patching huts, going out fishing or hunting. He is serving his apprenticeship in the actua l accomplishments of life. It is not surprising that anthropologists(人类学家) find that the adolescents of primitive communities do not suffer from the same neurotic(神经质的) “difficulties” as those of civilized life. This is not, as some assume, because they are permit ted more sexual freedom, but because they are given more natural outlets for their native interests and powers and are allowed to grow up freely into a full life of responsibility in the community.In the 19th century this was recognized in the apprenticeship system, which allowed the boy to g o out with the master carpenter, or ploughman, to engage in the actual work of carpentry or roof -mending, and so to learn his trade. In some agricultural colleges at the present time young men have to do a year’s work on a farm before their theoretical training at college. The great advantag e of this system is that it lets the apprentice see the practical problems before he sets to work lea rning how to solve them, and he can therefore take a more intelligent interest in his theoretical w ork.Since more knowledge of more things is now required in order to cope with the adult world, the period of growing-up to independence takes much longer than it did in a more primitive commun ity, and the responsibility for such education, which formerly was in the hands of the parents, is n ow necessarily undertaken by experts at school. But that should not make us lose sight of the bas ic principle, namely the need and the desire of the adolescent to engage responsibly in the real p ursuits of life and then to learn how — to learn through responsibility, not to learn before respon sibility.96. According to the author, what is the natural way of education?A. Doing things while learning.B. Doing things as an apprentice.C. Doing things before learning.D. Learning practical knowledge first.97. The main advantage of the natural way of education, whether in primitive or modern times, i s that learners ________.A. can learn the trade through solving problems at workB. can work with their masters throughout their learningC. are given more freedom in doing things and learningD. are given opportunities to develop their interest first98. According to the context, “this” in the third paragraph refers to ________.A. the way of learning in primitive communitiesB. the difficulties modern adolescents experienceC. the amount of freedom in learning in primitive lifeD. the kind of skills boys learned from their father99. According to the author, learning should now be done in school for all the following reasons EXCEPT that ________.A. more subjects are to be coveredB. more parents should be involved in teachingC. there should be a deeper understanding of a subjectD. more time is needed for becoming independent100. Which of the following best sums up the author’s main point?A. The apprenticeship system was effective in learning.B. Students should be given mire freedom in learning.C. Students develop their interest through learning.D. Learning to solve problem is learning through responsibility.PART VI WRITING[45 MIN] SECTION A COMPOSITION[35 MIN] An undergraduate of English at a university, in a recent letter to the university’s preside nt, complained about the mandatory maths classes he had to take.

Compose an essaySupply the missing paragraph1．The Positive Effects of Owning a Dog on Children Dogs are the best friend of children. The dog and the child teach each other things and they look after each other. Owning a dog can have positive effects on a child’s development. Having a dog develops a child’s sense of responsibility, broadens his capacity for empathy, and teaches him the nature of friendship. _____________________________________________________________________ _ Another lesson that a child can learn from having a dog is how to be empathetic.A dog cannot express itself with speech, so its owner must learn to understand what the dog’s behavior means. Is the dog frightened, aggressive, or sick? The child needs to understand what is going on in the dog’s mind. The result of learning to read a dog’s behavior is that the child develops mpathy. By learning how to empathize with a dog, the child also learns how to empathize with other people. This leads to the child becoming a more considerate and caring person. Being considerate and caring are important characteristics in a good friend. One of the most significant benefits of owning a dog is the example of true friendship that a dog provides. A dog gives unconditional love to its owner. A dog will not stop loving its owner because of a little anger, indifference, or neglect. A dog will wait patiently for its owner to pat its head and say a few kind words. This acceptance of the negative qualities and appreciation for the positive qualities of its owner provide a wonderful model of how to be a good friend. A child who has learned to be as good a friend to others as his dog is to him will have learned one of the most valuable lessons in life. These are some of the most important lessons a child will ever learn. The benefits of owning a dog will last in the child’s entire lifetime. The understanding and appreciation of responsibility, empathy, and friendship that a child develops from the experience of having a dog will help him or her grow into a reliable, caring, and mature adult.正确答案：Having a dog helps a child learn how to act responsibly. As a dog owner, the child must take care of the animal’s daily needs. The dog must be fed and exercised every day. The dog is completely dependent on its owner for all its needs, including the need for good health and a safe environment. If the child forgets any of these responsibilities, or ignores any of the dog’s needs, the dog will suffer. This teaches the child that his responsibility to the dog is more important than his desire to play with his toys, talk on the phone, or watch TV.Write an outline2．Acting out Metaphors Encourages Creative Thinking It happens in schools, offices, and boardrooms everywhere: someone working on a project hits a mental block A boss or teacher might resort to a metaphor like “think outside the box” or “put two and two together,” encouraging a creative solution to the problem. As it turns out, this isn’t just abstract advice. According to an upcoming issue of Psychological Science, literally working outside of a box or putting two halves of something together just might help those creative juices start flowing again. Since physical metaphors regarding creativity are so common and appearing in several different languages, a group of researchers hypothesized that they may extend beyond mere metaphors. Their stud-y indicates that acting out metaphors literally can affect how our minds work. In the first part of the study, the researchers asked 102 undergraduates to perform a Remote Associates Test (RAT), in which the subjects were given three seemingly unrelated words and asked to come up with a word that relates to each one. For example, the subject might be given “measure,”“worm,” and “video,” and the correct response would be “tape.”The participants were divided into three groups; one group was asked to perform this task while sitting inside a 5’ by 5’ cardboard box, another group sat outside the same box, and those in the third group performed the task without a box in the room at all. None of the participants knew the hypothesis behind the study; they were merely told it was an experiment on different working environments. There was no difference in performance between those inside the box and those with no box at all. However, the participants that were seated outside the box did much better on the RAT than the other two groups. Apparently, something about literally “thinking outside the box”encourages creativity. A second experiment looked at another well-known piece of advice, to “put two and two together” to come up with an answer. In the study, 64 subjects were divided into two groups. The first group had to perform a RAT while joining haves of cut paper cards from piles on each side of a desk. The second group performed a similar task, but only had to move card halves from one side of a desk to the other side. Those “putting two and two together “by uniting the two halves of the cards did far better on the RAT than those that were merely moving the cards from one pile to another. So, acting out metaphors linked to creativity really can help us think creatively. In fact, it does more than let us access the knowledge we presently have; it encourages us to come up with new, unique and creative ideas. Next time you’re stuck on a problem, take a minute to ponder—or even act out —your favorite metaphor, and you might happen upon a great solution.

Write a 300-word expository essay stating your opinion about what we can do as individuals to improve our environment.正确答案：How to improve our environment Nowadays, environment problems are becoming more and more influential to our daily lives than only appearing in newspapers and TVs, lectures or reports. For instance, in the last winter, foggy days with the so called PM2.5 caused a panic among citizens. People were afraid of the polluted air and chose to stay at home instead of going out. Protecting the environment is really an extremely urgent thing. As we all know, low carbon life was proposed in recent years and I think it would be a reasonable way to solve our environment crisis. We can figure out what benefits can be gained when we transfer this conception into a real existence, a low carbon campus. This simple shift of perspective can actually transform what used to be quite far away into something that is just around us. Take the use of electronic devices for example, when we choose to climb the stairs instead of using an elevator, when we prefer bicycles to cars, we are doing something fantastic for ourselves. Think about these activities as exercises that would not only keep us physically fit, but also spiritually energetic. If we turn off the computer when they are not in use, or even limit the hours we spend in front of them, we are not only saving the electricity, but also doing a favor to our body, preventing ourselves from too much exposure to radiation and other possible harms caused by computer. We can gain at the same tine a healthy and pain-free neck, and avoid sore muscles, worsening eyesight and so on. When we use natural wind, rather than fans or air conditioner to feel cool in summer, we are also reducing the possibilities of all the illness related to the electronic devices. What we eat can also contribute to the establishment of a low carbon campus. More vegetables and less meat mean that less carbon will be emitted in the process of producing and preparing for such foods. And this can also translate to a more balanced diet and healthier eating habits. Then many problems, such as overweight, tiredness or even high blood pressure and heart disease can be controlled to a certain extent when we get older. And this good eating habit actually benefits us for a life time, and what starts at campus goes a long way. From the above analysis, we can get the basic idea that when we are doing something to reduce the carbon campus, but at the same time, we are make positive changes for ourselves.。

Choose the one that you think is the best answer. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET TWOTEXT AAfter breakfast the boys wandered out into the play-ground. Here the day-boys were gradually assembling. They were sons of the local clergy, of the officers at the Depot, and of such manufacturers or men of business as the old town possessed. Presently a bell rang, and they all trooped into school. This consisted of a large, long room at opposite ends of which two under masters conducted the second and third forms, and of a smaller one, leading out of it, used by Mr. Watson, who taught the first form. To attach the preparatory to the senior school these three classes were known officially, on speech days and in reports, as upper, middle, and lower second. Philip was put in the last. The master, a red-faced man with a pleasant voice, was called Rice; he had a jolly manner with boys, and the time passed quickly. Philip was surprised when it was quarter to eleven and they were let out for ten minutes' rest.The whole school rushed noisily into the play-ground. The new boys were told to go into the middle, while the others stationed themselves along opposite walls. They began to play Pig in the Middle. The old boys ran from wall to wall while the new boys tried to catch them: when one was seized and the mystic words said - one, two, three, and a pig for me - he became a prisoner and, turning sides, helped to catch those who were still free. Philip saw a boy running past and tried to catch him, but his limp gave him no chance; and the runners, taking their opportunity, made straight for the ground he covered. Then one of them had the brilliant idea of imitating Philip’s clumsy run. Other boys saw it and began to laugh; then they all copied the first; and they ran round Philip, limping grotesquely, screaming with shrill laughter. They lost their heads with the delight of their new amusement, and choked with helpless merriment. One of them tripped Philip up and he fell, heavily as he always fell, and cut his knee. They laughed all the louder when he got up. A boy pushed him from behind, and he would have fallen again if another had not caught him. The game was forgotten in the entertainment of Philip’s deformity. Philip was completely scared. He could not make out why they were laughing at him. His heart beat so that he could hardly breathe, and he was more frightened than he had ever been in his life. He stood still stupidly while the boys ran round him, mimicking and laughing; they shouted to him to try and catch them; but he did not move. He did not want them to see him run any more. He was using all his strength to prevent himself from crying.81. From the beginning of the passage we learn that ________.A. some pupils came from the local areaB. the school only accepted day-boysC. the school had only three classesD. Philip’s class was part of the senior school82. What was Philip’s reaction to his class?A. He thought class was too short.B. He found his class surprising.C. He seemed to have enjoyed it.D. He wanted to change class.83. In the game Philip lost his ground because ________.A. the game wasn’t fit for new boys like himB. the playground wasn’t big enough for the gameC. he did not know the rules of the gameD. he could not run as quickly as other boys84. What did the boys do after Philip lost his ground?A. They continued with the game.B. They stopped to make fun of him.C. They changed to another game.D. They stopped and went inside.85. How did Philip feel in the end?A. He was ashamed of himself.B. He was very nervous.C. He was really horrified.D. He felt himself stupid. TEXT BFor parents who send their kids off to college saying, “These will be the best years of your life,” it would be very appropriate to add, “If you can handle the stress of coll ege life.”Freshmen are showing up already stressed out, according to the latest research study that reported students’ emotional health levels at their lowest since the survey started in 1985. While in school, more students are working part-time and near-full-time jobs. At graduation, only 29 percent of seniors have jobs lined up.Pressure to excel often creates stress, and many students are not learning how to effectively handle this stress. Let me show five facts that I believe every college student should know about stress.First, stress can make smart people do stupid things. Stress causes what brain researchers call “cortical inhibition.” In simple terms, stress inhibits a part of the brain responsible for decision-making and reaction time and can adversely affect other mental abilities as well.Second, the human body doesn’t discriminate between a big stressful event and a little one. Any stressful experience will create about 1,400 biochemical events in your body. If any amount of stress is left unchecked, many things can occur within the body, including premature aging, impaired cognitive function and energy drain.Third, stress can become your new pattern. When you regularly experience negative feelings and high amounts of stress, your brain recognizes this as your normal state. This then becomes the new norm, or baseline for your emotional state.Fourth, stress can be controlled. Countless studies demonstrate that people can restructure their emotional state using emotion-refocusing techniques. Thesetechniques help you recognize how you are feeling and shift to a more positive emotional, mental and physical state.One technique involves slowing your thoughts and focusing on your heartbeat, breathing slowly and deeply, and focusing on the positive feeling that you receive.Finally, stress can be lessened by loving what you study. Barbara Frederickson, a leading international authority on the importance of positive emotions, says humans are genetically programmed to seek positive emotions such as love and joy. It's suggested to choose a major or career path you love and enjoy. Otherwise, you could end up fighting against your own biology.86. The author cites the latest research study in order to show that ________.第5 / 9页A. students are studying harder in collegeB. most students have part-time job nowC. stress continues to the time of graduationD. students only feel stressed while in school87. According to the passage, stress might cause all the following negative effects EXCEPT ________.A. socialB. mentalC. emotionalD. physical88. In the author’s opinion, stress can be controlled by ________.A. doing what you preferB. identifying your present emotional state firstC. finding a more positive feeling firstD. focusing on your emotional state89. According to the context, what does “your own biology” mean in the last paragraph?A. Your current major.B. Your future job.C. Your future research.D. Your preference.90. Which of the following is the best as the title of the passage?A. Causes of Stress.B. Type of Stress. CollegeC. Life and Stress.D. Stress and Control Methods.TEXT CFor anyone who doubts that the texting revolution is upon us, consider this: The average 13- to 17-year-old sends and receives 3,339 texts a month—more than 100 per day, according to the Nielsen Co., the media research firm. Adults are catching up. People from ages 45 to 54 sent and received 323 texts a month in the second quarter of 2010, up 75% from a year ago, Nielsen says.Behind the texting explosion is a fundamental shift in how we view our mobile devices. That they are phones is increasingly beside the point.Part of what's driving the texting surge among adults is the popularity of social media. Sites like Twitter, with postings of no more than 140 characters, are creating and reinforcing the habit of communicating in micro-bursts.Economics has much to do with texting’s popularity. Text messages cost carriers less than traditional mobile voice transmissions, and so they cost users less. Sprint Nextel has reconceived its Virgin Mobile brand to cater to heavy texters in a difficult economy. For $25 per month, users get unlimited texting, email, social networking and 300 talk minutes; for another $15, they get an additional 900 talk minutes. The name of the brand's new wireless plan: “Beyond Talk.”Texting’s rise over conversation is changing the way we interact, social scientists and researchers say. We are now inclined to text to relay difficult information. We stare at our phone when we want to avoid eye contact. Rather than make plans in advance, we engage in what research have named “micro-coordination”—”I’ll txt u in 10mins when I know wh/ restrnt.”Texting saves us time, but it steals from quiet reflection. “When people have a mobile device and have even a little extra time, they will communicate with someone in their life,” says Lee Rainie, director of the Pew Internet and American Life Project. And the phone conversation will never be completely obsolete. Deal makers and other professionals still spend much of the day on the phone. Researchers say people are more likely to use text-based communications at the preliminary stages of projects. The phone comes into play when there are multiple options to consider or important decisions to be made.91. At the beginning of the passage, the author uses figures for the purpose of ________.A. introductionB. comparisonC. explanationD. transition92. According to the context, which of the following is closest in meaning to “beside the point”?A. Unimportant.B. Unacknowledged.C. Underestimated.D. Undeniable.93. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a cause for texting’s popularity?A. Promotion of cheaper wireless packages.B. Increase in the number of adult texters.C. Redesign of mobile devices.D. Rise of social media.94. According to the passage, texting can help people to ________.A. face difficult situationsB. make appointments in advanceC. communicate wish strangersD. avoid awkward situations95. What is the passage mainly about?A. Texting’s p opularity and effect.B. Role of texting in business.C. Preference to texting over thinking.D. Innovation of mobile devices.TEXT DThe healthy adolescent boy or girl likes to do the real things in life, to do the things that matter. He would rather be a plumber’s mate and do a real job that requires doing than learn about hydrostatics sitting at a desk, without understanding what practical use they are going to be. A girl would rather look after the baby than learn about child care. Logically we should learn about things before doing them and that is presumably why the pundits enforce this in our educational system. But it is not the natural way-nor, I venture to think, the best way. The adolescent wants to do things first for only then does he appreciate the problems involved and want to learn more about them.They do these things better in primitive life, for there at puberty the boy joins his father in making canoes, patching huts, going out fishing or hunting. He is serving his apprenticeship in the actual accomplishments of life. It is not surprising that anthropologists(人类学家) find that the adolescents of primitive communities do not suffer from the same neurotic(神经质的) “difficulties” as those of civilized life. This is not, as some assume, because they are permitted more sexual freedom, but because they are given more natural outlets for thei-rnative interests and powers and are allowed to grow up freely into a full lif-e of responsibility in the community.In the 19th century this was recognized in the apprenticeship system, which allowed the boy to go out with the master carpenter, or ploughman, to engage in the actual work of carpentry or roof-mending, and so to learn his trade. In some agricultural colleges at the present time young men have to do a ye-ar’s work on a farm before their theoretical training at college. The great advantage of this system is that it lets the apprentice see the practical problems before he sets to work learning how to solve them, and he can therefore take a more intelligent interest in his theoretical work.Since more knowledge of more things is now required in order to cope with the adult world, the period of growing-up to independence takes much longer than it did in a more primitive community, and the responsibility for such education, which formerly was in the hands of the parents, is now necessarily undertaken by experts at school. But that should not make us lose sight of the basic principle, namely the need and the desire of the adolescent to engage responsibly in the real pursuits of life and then to learn how — to learn through responsibility, not to learn before responsibility.96. According to the author, what is the natural way of education?A. Doing things while learning.B. Doing things as an apprentice.C. Doing things before learning.D. Learning practical knowledge first.97. The main advantage of the natural way of education, whether in primitive or modern times, is that learners ________.A. can learn the trade through solving problems at workB. can work with their masters throughout their learningC. are given more freedom in doing things and learningD. are given opportunities to develop their interest first98. According to the context, “this” in the third paragraph refers to ________.A. the way of learning in primitive communitiesB. the difficulties modern adolescents experienceC. the amount of freedom in learning in primitive lifeD. the kind of skills boys learned from their father99. According to the author, learning should now be done in school for all the following reasons EXCEPT that ________.A. more subjects are to be coveredB. more parents should be involved in teachingC. there should be a deeper understanding of a subjectD. more time is needed for becoming independent 100. Which of the following best sums up the author’s main point?A. The apprenticeship system was effective in learning.B. Students should be given mire freedom in learning.C. Students develop their interest through learning.D. Learning to solve problem is learning through responsibility.PART VI WRITING [45 MIN]SECTION A COMPOSITION [35 MIN]An undergraduate of English at a university, in a recent letter to the university’s president, complained about the mandatory maths classes he had to take.

With the tools of technology man has altered many physical features of the earth. He has transformed wood lands into farmland: He has modified the face of the earth by cutting through mountains to build roads and railways. However these changes in the physical environment have not always had beneficial results. Today, pollution of the planet. Each day, thousands of tons of gases come out of the vehicles: smoke from factories pollutes the air of industrialized areas and the surrounding countryside. The air in cities is becoming increasingly unhealthy. The pollution of water is equally harmful. In the sea, pollution from oil is killing a lot of sea plant and fish. It is now necessary for man to limit the growth of technology in order to survive on the earth.PART II LISTENING COMPREHENSIONSECTION A1-5. CBBBD 6-10. CCDBC;SECTION B。

It is the oldest continent in the sense that it has altered relatively little since life appeared on earth. Thousands of years before the explorers Abel Tasman and James Cook sailed into the South Pacific, the aborigines had crossed the hand bridge from Asia formed by the Malay Archipelago and had spread throughout the mainland and Tasmania. When Capt. Arthur Philip of the British Royal Navy landed with the First Fleet at Botany in 1788, the event that marks the true beginning of modern Australia, there were probably not more than 300,000 Aborigines altogether.The most striking characteristics of the vast 3,000,000 square-mile landmass are its isolation, its low relief, and the aridity of its surface. Its isolation from other continents explains much of the strangeness of Australian plant and animal life; its low relief results from the long and extensive erosive action of the forces of wind, rain and the heat of the sun during the great periods of geological time when the continental mass was elevated well above sea level. A member of the Commonwealth of Nations, **monwealth of Australia is a prosperous, independent nation under one government. Like Canada and the United States, contemporary Australia is a political federation with a central government (the Commonwealth) and, six constituent states (New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, South Australia, Western Australia, and Tasmania) , each of which has its own government enjoying a limited sovereignty. There are also two internal territories: the Northern Territory was established as a self-governing territory in 1978, and the Australian Capital Territory, seat of the federal capital city Canberra, is administered directly by the Commonwealth, which also governs the external territories of Norfolk Island, Cocos Islands, Christmas Island, Ashmore and Cartier Islands, Coral Sea Islands, and Heard and McDonald Islands and claims the Australian Antarctic Territory. The Cocos Islands was a non-self-governing territory until 1984 ,when it was integrated with Australia following an act of self determination approved by the Cocos Malay people.16. The true beginning of modern Australia took place in ______.A. 1788B. 1842C. 1978D. 198417. Which of the following became a self-governing territory most recently?A. Northern Territory.B. Cocos Islands.C. New South Wales.D. Tasmania.18. Where did the **e from?A. North America.B. South America.C. Africa.D. Asia.19. What type of climate does most of Australia have?A. Dry.B. Wet.C. Frigid.D. Jungle.20. What country colonized Australia?A. France.B. Germany.C. Great Britain.D. The United States.(2)The Great Wall of China is the longest structure ever built. Its length is about 4,000 miles (6,400 kilometers), and it was erected entirely by hand. The wall crosses northern China between the east coast and north-central China.Over the centuries, various rulers built walls to protect their northern border against invaders. Some of the walls stood on or near the site of the Great Wall. Most of what is now called the Great Wall dates from the Ming dynasty(1368-1644). Parts of the Great Wall have crumbled through the years. However, much of it remains, and some sections have been restored. The main part of the wall is about 2,150 miles(3,460 kilometers)long. Additional branches make up the rest of its length.One of the highest sections of the Great Wall, on Mount Badaling, near Beijing, rises to about 35 feet(11 meters)high. This section is about 25 feet(7.6 meters)wide at its base and nearly 20 feet(6 meters) at the top. Watchtowers stand about 100 to 200 yards(91 to 180 meters)apart along the wall. The towers, about 40 feet (12 meters) high, once served as lookout posts.Written records indicate that the Chinese built walls along their borders as early as the 600's B.C. Emperor Shi Huangdi of the Qin dynasty (221-206 B. C. )is traditionally regarded as the first ruler to conceive of, and build, a Great Wall. Most of the Qin wall was north of the present-day wall. Shi Huangdi had the wall built by connecting new walls with older ones. Building continued during later dynasties, including the Han (202 B. C. - 220 A.D. ) and the Sui (581 - 618 ).By the time the Ming dynasty began in 1368, much of the wall had fallen into ruin. In response to the growing threat of a Mongol invasion, the Ming government began building a major wall in the late 1400's. This wall included most of what remains today. Like earlier ones, it protected China from minor attacks but provided little defense against a major invasion.Through the centuries, much of the Great Wall again collapsed. However, the Chinese have done restoration work since 1949. The wall no longer serves the purpose of defense, but it attracts many visitors. Tourists from around the **e to see the wall.

The saddest aspect of mass tourism has been brought recently to the attention of the public: it seems that the great number of visitors is destroying the treasures that they enjoy most. Under millions of feet, ancient stones wear out, ancient floors break down. Parts of the palace of Versailles may have to be closed to the public in order to preserve them, and some European caves, famous for their thirty-thousand-year-old paintings, have already been closed because the paintings were damaged by human respiration. There **e a time when only specialists in art, history, or archaeology will be allowed near the treasures of the past. Perhaps we'd better hurry to see them; perhaps we'd better take a tour soon.72. Professional travelers are similar to business travelers in many ways, although this type of travel is more elastic than business travel. Professional travel is built around the meeting and convention markets. These markets have grown as transportation, especially by air, has become more available and affordable. As professional travel continues to grow, new and expanded meeting and convention facilities have been developed to satisfy this increasing demand. Along with this growth, new management challenges have arisen to serve this specialized market. Some of the key market segments for meeting participants or attendees are associations, businesses, exhibitions and trade shows, religious organizations, political parties, and governments.。

Travelers usually ______ those whose travels require the use of overnight accommodation and those whose trips last less than one day.A. classify intoB. classifies intoC. are classifying intoD. are classified intoⅡ.**prehensionDirections: Read the following passages and make your proper choices.(1)Manners nowadays in metropolitan cities like London are practically nonexistent. It is nothing for a big, strong schoolboy to elbow an elderly woman aside in the dash for the last remaining seat on the tube or bus, much less stand up and offer his seat to her, as he ought. In fact, it is saddening to note that if a man does offer his seat to an older woman, it is nearly always a continental man or one from the older generation.This question of giving up seats in public transport is much argued about by young men who say that, since women have claimed equality, they no longer deserve to be treated with courtesy, and that those who go out to work should take their turn in the rat race like anyone else. Women have never claimed to be physically as strong as men. Even if it is not agreed, however, that young men should stand up for younger women, the fact remains that courtesy should be shown to the old, the sick and the burdened. Are we really so lost to all ideals of unselfishness that we can sit there indifferently reading the paper or a book, saying to ourselves "**e, first served, " while a gray haired woman, a mother with a young child or a cripple stands? Yet this is all too often seen.Conditions in travel are really very hard on everyone, we know, but hardship is surely no excuse. Sometimes one wonders what would have been the behavior of these stout young men in packed refugee train or a train on its way to a prisoner camp during the war. Would they have considered it only right and their proper due to keep the best places for themselves then?Older people, tired and irritable from a day's work, are not angels at all. Many a brisk argument or an insulting quarrel breaks out as the weary queues push and shove each other to get on buses and tubes. One **mend this, of course, but one does feel there is just a little more excuse.If cities are to remain pleasant places to live in at all, however, it seems urgent, not only **munications in transport should be improved, but also **munication between human beings should be kept smooth and polite. All over cities, it seems that people are too tired and too rushed to be polite. Shop assistants won't bother to assist, taxi drivers shout at each other as they dash dangerously round corners, bus conductors pull the bell before their desperate passengers have had time to get on or off the bus, and so on and so forth. It seems to us that it is up to the young and strong to do their small part to stop such deterioration.16. According to the passage, we could expect good manners from ______.A. Englishmen in LondonB. a man from FranceC. men in big modern cities in EnglandD. men only in metropolitan cities17. What is the writer's opinion concerning courteous manners toward women?A. Women have claimed equality and no longer need to be treated differently from men.B. It is considered old fashioned for young men to give up their seats for young women.C. Lady First should be universally practiced.D. Special consideration should be shown to women.18. According to the writer, communication between human beings would be smoother if ______.A. people were more considerate to each otherB. life were easier and **fortableC. women were treated with more courtesyD. public transport could be improved19. The italicized word "deterioration" in the last paragraph probably means "______".A. worsening of the general situationB. lowering of the moral standardsC. declining of the courtesy to womenD. spreading of evil conduct20. It could be inferred that the best remedy for the hard travel conditions in city would be ______.A. to attach significance to the moral education of young peopleB. to treat people, be they young or old, with courtesy and sympathyC. to demand everyone do his part not to be impolite to each otherD. to improve the means of transportation and the public, morality(2)In recent years, we have seen great progress in house building. The type of houses found in a certain part of the world depends to a certain extent on the building materials available there. Countries where stone is abundant tend to have more stone houses than a place where there is plenty of timber for example. However, climatic conditions affect the houses built to a greater extent.In equatorial countries like Singapore and Malaysia, two main factors are responsible for the type of houses built: the heat of the sun and the fierceness of rainstorms. Our houses are light and airy but have steep roofs. In some places, houses are built on stilts because they may be in lowlying areas which get flooded easily.In a hot and dry country such as Arabia, the houses are often box-shaped. They have thick stone walls which are painted white. White surfaces radiate heat while dark surfaces absorb it. The houses have no windows, only gaps with shutters over them. Even the door openings are very small and narrow, it is cool inside such houses. The roofs are also flat, so that when the sun goes down, one can sit on the roof and catch any cool breeze that is blowing. Sometimes, a water tank may be placed on the roof to catch the little rain that falls.In cold regions, where there is heavy snow, the roofs of the houses slope steeply so that the snow can slide off easily. If the roofs were fiat, the snow would build up and the roofs might cave in under the weight. The houses also have thick stone walls so that the cold is kept out.Some countries are more likely to be affected by earthquakes. In such places, the houses aremade of light building materials. If the houses collapse in an earthquake, few people will get hurt and less damage is caused.In some parts of the world, people take their homes along with them as they travel. These people are called nomads. The Bedouins of Arab lands wander over the desert, setting up tents wherever they stop to rest.21. Houses in equatorial countries ______.A. are light and airyB. have steep roofsC. are always built on stiltsD. are built to shelter from the harsh elements22. Houses in Arabia ______.A. have thin walls painted whiteB. are box-shapedC. have many windowsD. always have water tanks on the roof23. In cold countries roofs slope steeply. ______.A. so that people can build caves under itB. so that the roofs won't become so heavyC. because people do not need snow to build the houseD. so that the snow can slide off easily24.

Nomads are people who ______.A. live in tentsB. travel over the desertC. wander from place to placeD. set up tents over the desertⅢ.ClozeDirections: Choose the one from the given A, B, C and D to complete the passage properly."The business of America is business.

The traveler, then, is better understood and better appealed to if he is recognized as a person consuming products and services. Seeing the traveler in this manner will result in a change of attitude on the part of the observer and enable the marketer to provide a better product or service to the traveler. A second more tangible benefit to be gained from this approach relates to the idea of prepotency. If one accepts Maslow's idea of prepotency--that lower-level needs should be satisfied to some extent before the satisfaction of higher-level needs becomes a concerns--we would expect that products and services, including vacations, which are targeted towards the satisfaction of lower-level needs, would be regarded as more of a necessity than a luxury and would, as such, be more resilient to external pressures of time and money.72. As China's economy shifts to a more market system, the domestic travel industry will face in creasing challenges in a more **petitive environment. This will require domestic travel services to constantly study their market conditions, design travel products according to the needs and wantsof tourists, and sell their travel products effectively to potential markets. A successful domestic tourism industry in China relies on two levels of coordination and operation. National and provincial governments need to monitor regional trends in domestic travel patterns and develop measures for guiding domestic travel growth. At the individual business level, domestic travel services need to implement systematic management practices and operations. China can only develop a successful domestic tourism industry if there is a well-coordinated effort between the government and the private travel industry.。

This definition is,of course,valid as far as it goes.For a complete understanding of a price in any particular transaction,however,much more than the amount of money involved must be known.Both the buyer and the seller should be familiar with not only the money amount but with the amount and quality of the product or service to be exchanged,the time and place at which the exchange will take place and payment to be made,the form of money to be used,the credit terms and discounts that are to be appried to the transaction,guarantees on the product or service,delivery terms,return privileges,and other factors.In other words,both buyer and seller should be fully aware of all the factors that comprise the total“package”being exchanged for the asked-for amount of money in order that they may evaluate a given price.16.What is the best title for the passage?A.The Inherent Weaknesses of the Price System.B.The Complexities of the Price System.C.Credit Terms in Transactions.D.Resource Allocation and the Public Sector.17.According to the passage the price system’is related primarily to ______.bor and educationB.transportation and insuranceC.utilities and repairsD.products and services18.According to the passage,which of the following is NOT a factor in the complete understanding of price?A.Instructions that come with a product.B.The quantity of a product.C.The quality of a product.D.Warranties that cover a product.19.In the last sentence of the passage,the word“they”refer to______.A.return privilegesB.all the factorsC.buyer and sellerD.cash and credit20.The paragraph following the passage most likely discusses______.A.unusual ways to advertise productsB.types of payment plans for serviceC.theories about how products affect different levels of societyD.how certain elements of a price“package”influence its market value(2)Anyone who has travelled to Amsterdam would probably agree on one thing: Amsterdam’s story is a tale of two cities--one during the day and a completely different one at night.When the sun is up,the largest city in the Netherlands sits quietly on the Amstel River.You can rent a bicycle, visit the Van Gogh or Anne Frank museum,or take a water taxi.But when the sun goes down,the partying begins.In the big clubs and in coffee shops, tourists gather to hang out,talk politics and smoke.Several areas of the city clearly show the two worlds that rule Amsterdam. And they’re all within a short cab ride of each other.For example,Dam Square attracts daytime sightseers to its festivals,open markets,concerts and other events.Several beautiful and very popular hotels can be found there.And there’s the Royal Palace and the Magna Plaza shopping mall.But as evening descends on Dam Square so do the party-seekers.Hip hop or funk music begins blaring from Club Paradiso and Club Melkweg.They are two of the most popular clubs in Europe.So if you come,be ready to dance.The clubs don’t shut down until4am.And while you’re there,check out the various inexpensive ways to tour the city.Don’t worry about getting lost.Although Dutch is the official language,most people in Amsterdam speak English and are happy to help you with directidns.And you’ll notice that half the people in the streets are on bicycles.They rent for US$17to$20for a whole day.Amsterdam also has an elaborate canal system.From anywhere between US$2and $9.50,you can use the canal bus or a water taxi to cruise the“Venice of the North”.You can take in the picturesque canal house architecture:The rows of neat, narrow four-story dwellings of brownstone with large windows are well-worth seeing.Many of them are several centuries old.You might also want to jump out of the canal bus at the Museum Quarter and start walking.Masterpieces by Dutch artists such as Rembrandt,Bruegel,Van Gogh and others are on display at the Van Gogh Museum,the Stedelijk Museum, Rembrandt House and the Rijks Museum.The city has an appreciation of its historic past.One poignant place to visit is the Anne Frank House on Nine Streets.It was there that the young Jewish girl wrote her famous diary during World War II.Visitors can view Anne’s original diary and climb behind the bookcase to the room where she and her family hid from the Nazis for two years.21.Amsterdam is a city______.A.famous for two talesB.ruled by two principles from two different urban areasC.which is small but elaborate,within a short cab rideD.which is quiet at daytime and noisy at night22.What mode of transportation is NOT suggested by the author in the text?A.By bicycle.B.On foot.C.By taxi.D.By canal bus.23.How many museums can tourists visit in Amsterdam?A.Four.B.Five.C.Six.D.Seven.24.Which of the following statements about Dam Square is NOT true according to the passage?A.Dam Square is a famous shopping center for tourists.B.Dam Square is an attraction to both sightseers and party-seekers.C.Dam Square is a mixing place for both folk music and classic music.D.Two clubs most famous in Europe are located here.25.The word“poignant”in the last paragraph Line1means______.A.touchingB.interestingC.pitifulD.sympatheticⅢ.Cloze:(1×15=15)Directions:Choose the best answer from the choices given to complete the passage and blacken the corresponding letter A,B,C or D on the ANSWER SHEET.The Great Exhibition held in London in1851was probably the first show to be called a world fair.Since then there have been31universal exhibitions and many cities26to have a world fair.In1928the International Bureau of Expositions was founded in Paris to co-ordinate these events and ensure that there is only one each year.There are various and interlinked objectives 27holding a world fair.The stated objectives include encouraging trade, increasing the visibility of a city and country,developing tourism,28 economic development and increasing employment,stimulating the re-use of land and29improvements,the celebration or a past event,and the entertainment of the masses,30the often unstated one of obtaining31funds from the higher levels of government.The32motive for holding a world fair is to33the city,but as well as selling the city,there is also the selling of ideas.Most expos are linked in some way to the notion of the progress of civilization or modernity.Not34,Expo92in Seville,Spain,had the 35of discovery.Other themes include education and international understanding.The36city usually prepares a special site for the event37 new buildings and structures of hoped-for architectural distinction and image changing ability are erected.Early examples38London’s Crystal Palace and Paris’s Eiffel Tower and a more recent one is Seattle’s Space Needle.These structures will remain a39legacy to the area,as will any general infrastructure put in place.The fair itself usually contains exhibitions of both arts and manufactures,with pavilions40also by foreignnations.World fairs usually last between five and seven months,but sometimes they last for a whole year.26.
