The learning by memory of all the basic things one must know is a most incredible and unending effort. School is not easy and it is not for the most part very much fun, but then, if you are very lucky, you may find a real teacher. Three teachers in a lifetime are the very best of my luck. My first was a science and math teacher in high school, my second, a professor of creative writing at Stanford, and my third was my friend and parrtner, ED Rickets.I have to believe that a great teacher is a great artist and that three are as few as there are any other great artists. It might even be the greatest of the arts since the medium is the human mind and spirit.My three teachers han these things in common: They all loved what they were doing; they did not tell, but stimulated a burning desire to know. Under their influence, the horizons sprang wide and fear went away and the unknown became knowable.I shall speak only of my first teacher because in addition to the other things, she brought discovery. She aroused us to shouting, bookwaving discussions. She had the noisiest class in school and she did not even seem to know it. We could never stick to the subject. Our speculation (思绪) ranged the world. She breathed curiosity into us so that we brought in facts or truths shielded in our hands like captured fireflies (萤火虫).She was fired, and perhaps rightly fightly so, for failing to teach fundamentals. Such things must be learned. But she left a passion (激情) in us for the pure knowable world and she inflamed me with a curiosity which has never left. I have had many teachers eho told me soon-forgotten facts but only three who created in me a new attitude a new hunger. What deathless power lies inthe hands of such a person?31. In the writer’s opinion, school life is usually .A) exciting B) interestingC) tiresome D) challenging32. We can infer from Paragraph 2 that .A) it is easy to find great artists as well as great teachers.B) there are few great teachers but many great artists.C) the greastest artists are not easy to find; nor are the greatest teachers.D) being a great teacher is a great art to learn because teachers spread knowledge.33.In the writer’s opinion, a good teacher should .A) teach students the fundamental thingsB) stick to one subject and be strict with studentsC) teach students the knowledge ranging the worldD) arouse students’ curiosity and desire the world34. The writer’s first teacher was dismissed mainly bacause .A) her class was the noisiest in schoolB) she did not teach basic knowledge in classC) she let students shout and wave books in classD) she did not know how to teach basic knowledge effectively35. What is the best title of this article?A) The Teachers in My Life B) How to Become a TeacherC) What to Teach at School D) What Makes a Good TeacherPassage TwoQuestions 36-40 based on the following passage:According to psychologists (心理学家), an emotion is arouse when a man or animal views something as either bad or good. When a person feels like running away from something he thinks will hurt him, we call this emotion fear. If the person wants to remove the danger by attacking it , we call the emotion anger. The emotions of joy and love are aroused when we think something can help us. An emotion does not have to be created by something in the outside world. It can be created by a person’s thoughts.Everyone has emotions. Many psychologists believe that infants are born without emotions. They believe children learn emotions just as they learn to read and write. A growing child not only learns his emotions but learns hoe to act in certain situdtions bacause of an emotion.Psychologists think that there are tow types of emotion: positive and negative. Positive emotions include love, liking, joy, delight, and hope. They are aroused by something that appeals to a person. Negative emotions make a person unhappy or dissatisfoed. They include anger, fear, despair, sadness, and disgust. In growing up, a person learns to cope with the negative emotions in order to be happy.Emotions may be weak or strong. Some string emotions are so unpleasant that a person will try every means to escape from them. In order to feel happy, the person may choose unusual ways to avoid the emotion.Strong emotions can make it hard think and to solve problems. They may prevent a personfrom learning or paying attention to what he is doing. For example, a student taking an examination may be so worried about failing that ba cannot think properly. The worry drains valuable mental energy he needs for the examination.36. We leaen from the passage that an emotion is created by something .A) one feels in danger B) one faces in the outside worldC) one thinks bad or good D) one tries to escape from real life37. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A) Babies are born with emotions.B) Emotions fall into two types in genersl.C) Children learn emotions as they grow up.D) People can cope with the negative emotions in life.38. The author’s purpose in writing this passage is to .A) explain why people have emotionsB) define and classify people’s emotionsC) show how people avoid the negative emotionsD) explain what people should do about emotions39. When a student is too worried about failing in the exam, .A) he will simply give up B) he will not be able to think properlyC) he will need extra mental energy D) he will try very hard to solve the problems40. The word “drain” (para. 5) most probably means .A) ties B) stops C) flows D) weakensPassage ThreeQuestions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage:Many a young person tells me he wants to be a writer. I always encourage such people, but I also explain that there’s a big difference between “being a writer’ and writing. In moet cases these individuals are dreaming of wealth and fame, not the long hour alone at a typewriter. “You’ve got to want to write.” I say to them,” not want to be a writer”.The reality is that writing is a lonely, private and poorly-paid affair. For every writer kissed by fortune there are thousands more whose londing is never reward. When I left a 20-year career in the US Coast Guard to become a freelance (自由职业) writer, I had no prospects at all. What I did have was a friend who found me a room in a New York apartment building. It didn’t even matter and felt like a genuine writer.After a yeqr or so, however ,I still hadn’t gotten a break and began to doubt myself. It was so hard to sell a story that I barely made enough to eat. But I knew I wanted to writer, I had dreamed about it for years. I wasn’t going to be one of those people who die wondering: What if? I would keep putting my dream to the test even though it meant living with uncertainty and fear of failure. This is the shadowland of hope, and anyone with a dream must learn to live there.41. The word “prospects” (para.2) is closest in meaning to .A) rich resource B) reasonable hopesC) strong desires D) enormous advantages42.The writer mentions his 20-year career in the US Coast Guard in order to show .A) his regret at leaving the armyB) his determination to realize his dreamC) his disappointment with the army lifeD) his excitemnet with the new life in the big city43.

Thanks to modern methods of transport, we can travel everywhere more eaily and mor equickly than ever before, but the language problem still remains. Without a common language, misunderstandings arise an there can be no real comminication between people of different nationalities.There are two possible solutions to this problem: either we choose one of the exisiting major languages of the world, or we make up an artificial one. But neither solution is simple beause no exisiting major language, such as Esperanto (世界语), has no literature and would be thought dull by many learners.It is often said that English is quickly becoming a world language. It is certainly the most widely used language in the world, and second only to Chinese in its number of native speakers, but there are certain dangers in choosing English as an international language.First of all, owing to political reasons and national pride, English is not acceptable to everyone as a world language. Many dislike its influence; they see it as a form of interference, perhaps evendomination. English words enter their languages and this too causes offence. Although English is being taught in more and school abrosd, the process in not always popular. Not every nation is prepared to accept the dominant position of a foreign language in their educational system.Another danger is that differences in standard English arise from its use thoughout world. It could break up, with language developing from dialects (方言) of English. Already Indian teachers and Nigerian students have been unable to understand each other’s English.注意：此部分试题请在答题卡2作答。

Passage 1Questions I to 5 are based on the following passage:Spending 50 minutes with a cell phone close to your ear is enough to change brain cell activity in the part of the brain closest to the antenna(天线). But whether that causes any harm is not clear, scientists at the National Institute of Health said at a conference last month, adding that the study will not likely settle concerns of a link between cell phones and brain cancer. “What we showed is glucose (葡萄糖) metabolism(代谢)(a sign of brain activity) increases in the brain in people who were exposed to a cell phone in the area closest to the antenna,” said Dr. Nora Volkow of the NIH, whose study was published in the Journal of the American Medical Association. (76) The study was meant to examine how the brain reacts to electromagnetic fields caused by wireless phone signals。

Buses offer the added advantage of being able to see various areas of Manhattan While you ride.How Much Does the Bus Cost?Fare is $2.25 and can be paid with a MetroCard or coins (no dollar bills, no pennies).A free transfer to another bus or the subway within 2 hours is available if you paid with a MetroCard.If you pay cash you can ask for a transfer, but it is only good for transferringto another bus (not to the subway) within 2 hours.Getting On and Off the BusYou must wait for buses at designated (指定的) bus stops.As you see the bus approaching your stops, you can put your arm out to indicate to the driver that you want to board the bus.Enter the bus through the front doors and pay your fare.Take a seat or move toward the back of the bus to make room for other people boarding the bus.To request a stop: Pull the cord or press the black band near the windows.

Consumers buy furniture pieces only occasionally. However, there are severalfurniture promotion ideas that can be used to help you reach your target market. One thing you can do is to talk with real estate (房地产) agents to allow you to display your furniture in a new home or open house setting. This is a good way to reach a key target market – new home buyers – who may need new furniture for their future homes. Increasing foot traffic (顾客流量) is also important for a furniture store. To get more people to the store, you can advertise a raffle event (抽奖活动). This event can be promoted in your local media and through direct mail campaigns or front door advertisements to generate more interest.In tough economic times, small business owners often suffer most as a result of slow consumer spending. To fight back against this, you have to make it easier of your customers to buy furniture. If you can, offer in-store financing, or drop the interest rate on your company’s credit terms, Consider lowering your prices and holding two-for-one events to arouse more consumer interest.41.

Google, the Internet search-engine company, has announced it will give more than twenty-five million dollars in money and investments to help the poor. The company says the effort involves using the power of information and technology to help people improve their lives. Aleem Walji works for -- the part of the company that gives money to good causes. He said the company’s first project will help identify where infectious (传染性的) diseases are developing. In Southeast Asia and Africa, for example, will work with partners to strengthen early-warning systems and take action against growing health threats. ’s second project will invest in ways to help small and medium-sized businesses grow. Walji says microfinance (⼩额信贷) is generally small, short-term loans that create few jobs. Instead, he says wants to develop ways to bring investors and business owners together to create jobs and improve economic growth. will also give money to help two climate-change programs announced earlier this year. One of these programs studies ways to make renewable (再⽣的) energy less costly than coal-based energy. The other is examining the efforts being made to increase the use of electric cars. The creators of Google have promised to give about one percent of company profits and one percent of its total stock value every year. Aleem Walji says this amount may increase in the future. 36. The purpose of Google’s investments is to ________. A) help poor people B) develop new technology C) expand its own business D) increase the power of information 37.

The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 to 45. Your boss holds your future prospects in his hands. Some bosses are hard to get along with. Some have excellent qualifications but no idea when it comes to dealing with people. Of course, not all bosses are like that. The relationship you have with your boss can be a major factor in determining your rise up the career ladder. Your boss is not only your leader, he is also the person best equipped to help you do the job you are paid to do. He can inform you of company direction that may affect your professional development. Your boss also needs you to perform at your best in order to accomplish his objectives. He needs your feedback in order to provide realistic and useful reports to upper management. But how does this help you establish a meaningful working relationship with your boss? The key is communication. Learn and understand his goals and priorities (优先的事). Observe and understand your boss’s work style. If he has not been clear with his expectations, ask! Likewise, ask for feedback and accept criticism gracefully. And if he understands that you do not view your job as just something to fill the hours between 9 and 5, he may be more likely to help you. In short, getting along with your boss requires getting to know his likes and dislikes and learning to work with his personali t y a n d m a n a g e m e n t s t y l e . b r > 0 0 4 1 .

英语三级A卷试题及答案
北京地区成人本科学士学位英语统一考试（A卷）Part I Reading Comprehension (30%)Directions: There are three passages in this part. 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 center.Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:Looking back on my childhood. I am convinced that naturalists are born and not made. Although we were brought up in the same way, my b rothers and sisters soon abandoned their pressed(紧抱的) flowers and insects. Unlike them ,I hand no ear for music and languages, I was no t an early reader and I could not do mental arithmetic.Before World war I we spent our summer holidays in Hungary. I hav e only the dim memory of the house we lived in, of my room and my toy s. (76) Nor do I recall clearly the large family of grandparents, aun ts, uncles and cousins who gathered next door .but I do have a crysta l-clear memory of dogs, the farm animals , the local birds and above all ,the insects.I am a naturalist, not a scientist. I have a strong love of the natural world, and my enthusiasm has led me into varied investigation s. I love discussing my favorite topics and enjoy burning the midnigh t. I love discussing my favorite topics and enjoy burning the midnigh t oil, reading about other people’s observations and discoveries .th en something happens that brings these observations together in my co nscious mind. Suddenly you fancy you see the answer to the riddle (谜)，because it all seems to fit together. This has resulted in my p ublishing 300 papers and books ,which some might honor with the title of scientific research.But curiosity ,a keen eye, a good memory and enjoyment of the an imal and plant world do not make a scientist; one of the outstanding and essential qualities required is self-discipline, a quality I lack.A scientist can be made .A naturalist is born . If you can combine t he two, you get the best of bornworlds.1. According to the author , a born naturalist should first of all be_____A. full of enthusiasmB. self-disciplinedC. full of ambitionD. knowledgeable2. The first paragraph tells us that the author _____A. lost his hearing when he was a childB. didn’t like his brothers and sistersC. was born to a naturalist’s familyD. was interested in flowers an insects in his childhood3. The author says that he is a naturalist rather than a scientis t probably because he thinks he _____A. just reads about other people’s observations and discoverie sB. comes up with solutions in most natural waysC. has a great deal of trouble doing mental arithmeticD. lacks some of the qualities required of scientistauthor can’t remember his relatives clearly because_____.A. he was fully occupied with observing natureB. he didn’t live very long with themC. the family was extremely largeD. he was too young when he lived with them5. Which of the following statement is trueA. The author believes that a born naturalist cannot be a scient ist.B. The author’s brothers and sisters were good at music and lan guages.C. The author read a lot of books about the natural world and th e oil industry.D. The author spent a lot of time working on riddles.Passage 2Question 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:If you have a chance to go to Finland, you will probably be surpri sed to find how “foolish” the Finnish people are.Take the taxi drivers for example. Taxis in Finland are mostly hig h-class Benz with a fare of two US dollars a kilometer. You can go an ywhere in one, tell the driver to drop you at any place, say that you have some business to attend to, and then walk off without paying yo ur fare. The driver would not show the least sign of anxiety.The dining rooms in all big hotels not only serve their guests, bu t also serve outside diners. Hotel guests have their meals free, so t hey naturally go to the free dining rooms to have their meals. The mo st they would do to show their good faith is to wave their registrati on card to the waiter. With such a loose check, you can easily use an y old registration card to take a couple of friends to dine free of c harge.The Finnish workers are paid by the hour. (77) They are very much on their own as soon as they have agreed with the boss on the rate. From then on they just say how many hours they have worked and they wi ll be paid accordingly.With so many loopholes(漏洞) in everyday life, surely Finland must be a heaven to those who love to take “petty advantages”. But the strange thing is, all the taxi passengers would always come back to p ay their fare after they have attended to their business; not a singl e outsider has ever been found in the free hotel dining rooms. And wo rkers always give an honest account of the exact hours they put in. A s the Finns always act on good faith in everything they do, living in such a society has turned everyone into a real “gentleman”.(78) In a society of such high moral practice, what need is there for people to be on guard against otherstaking a taxi in Finland, _____A. a passenger can go anywhere without having to pay the driverB. a passenger pays two US dollars for a taxi rideC. a passenger can never be turned down by the taxi driver where ver he wants to goD. a passenger needs to provide good faith demonstration before they leave without paying7. We know from the passage that big hotels in Finland_____A. provide meal for only those who live in the hotelsB. provide meals for any dinersC. provide free wine and charge for foodD. are mostly poorly managed8. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passageA. The workers in Finland are paid by the hour.B. The bosses in Finland are too busy to check the working hours of their employees.C. The workers are always honest with their working hours.D. The workers and their bosses will make an agreement in advance about the pay.9. The word “those” in the last paragraph probably refers to __ ___A. people who often take taxisB. people who often have meals in big hotelsC. people who are dishonestD. people who are worthy of trust10. It can be concluded that _____A. Finnish people are not smart enough in daily lifeB. Finland has been a good place for cheatsC. the Finnish society is of very high moral levelD. all the Finns are richPassage 3Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:There are many factors which may have an influence on adults and children being able to lead a healthy life.Nowadays, people are very busy. Often, both parents work outside the home. Children are expected to take on more responsibility at ho me to help their parents. They also have sporting and leisure activi ties as well as school expectations.The busyness also adds another factor: the need to use cars to g et from one place to another quickly.Today, society places a lot of emphasis on technology. Computers, DVDs. CDs, television, PlayStations and Xboxes have become major lei sure activities, rather than traditional more active pursuits. This h as led to a more sedentary lifestyle.The media provide entertainment and information. (79)Unfortunate ly, they also promote fast food which fits easily into busy lifestyle s. It is much more convenient at times to buy a quick takeaway rather than prepare a meal. The media constantly bombard(轰炸) their audien ce with ‘perfect’ body images, the need to buy the most fashionable clothes, the most up-to-date computer games, the best places to visit and the best things to do.Environments vary. We may be exposed to pollution , such as cigare tte smoke. This can be harmful to people who suffer from breathing di fficulties.(80)Environments where passive smoking is unavoidable make it difficult to lead a healthy life.It is important factor influencing healthy lifestyles is motiva tion. Or the desire to be healthy. Any person who wants to be healthy will find a way to be healthy —if he/she is motivated enough!11. The passage is mainly about _____.A. benefits of a healthy life styleB. demands of daily lifeC. factors affecting a healthy lifestyleD. a positive approach to healthy living12.

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 center.Passage OneIt is customary for adults to forget how hard and dull and long school is. The learning by memory of all the basic things one must know is a most incredible and unending effort. Learning to read is probably the most difficult and revolutionary thing that happens to the human brain and if you don't believe that, watch an illiterate adult try to do it. School is not easy and it is not for the most part very much fun, but then, if you are very lucky, you may find a real teacher. Three real teachers in a lifetime is the very best of my luck. My first was a science and math teacher in high school, my second, a professor of creative writing at Stanford, and my third was my friend and partner, Ed Ricketts.I have come to believe that a great teacher is a great artist and that there are as few as there are any other great artists. It might even be the greatest of the arts since the medium is the human mind and spirit.My three had these things in common: They all loved what they were doing. Under their influence, the horizons sprung wide and fear went away and the unknown became knowable.I shall speak only of my first teacher because in addition to the other things, she brought discovery. She aroused us to shouting, book-waving discussions. She had the noisiest class in school and she didn't even seem to know it. We could never stick to the subject. Our speculation ranged the world. She breathed curiosity into us so that we brought in facts or truths shielded in our hands like captured fireflies.She was fired and perhaps rightly so, for failing to teach fundamentals. Such things must be learned. But she left a passion in us for the pure knowable world and she inflamed me with a curiosity which has never left. I have had many teachers who told me soon-forgotten backs but only three who created in me a new attitude and a new hunger. What deathless power lies in the hands of such a person?31、 In the writer's opinion, school life is usually ______.A. excitingB. interestingC. tiresomeD. challenging32、 We can infer from Paragraph 2 that ______.A. it is easy to find great artists as well as good teachersB. there are fewer great teachers but many great artistsC. the greatest artists are not easy to find; nor are the greatest teachersD. being a great teacher is a great art to learn because teachers spread knowledge33、 In the writer's opinion, a good teacher should ______.A. teach students the fundamental thingsB. stick to one subject and be strict with studentsC. teach students the knowledge ranging the worldD. arouse students' curiosity and desire to know the world34、 The writer's first teacher was dismissed mainly because ______.A. her class was the noisiest in schoolB. she did not teach basic knowledge in classC. she let the students shout and wave books in classD. she did not know how to teach basic knowledge effectively35、 What is the best title of this article?A. The Teachers in My LifeB. How to Become A TeacherC. What to teach at SchoolD. What Makes A Good Teacher Passage TwoAccording to psychologists (心理学家), an emotion is aroused when a man or animal views something as either bad or good. When a person feels like running away from something he thinks will hurt him, we call this emotion fear. If the person wants to remove the danger by attacking it, we call the emotion anger. The emotions of joy and love are aroused when we think something can help us. An emotion does not have to be created by something in the outside world. It can be created by a person's thoughts. Everyone has emotions. Many psychologists believe that infants are born without emotions. They believe children learn emotions just as they learn to read and write. A growing child not only learns his emotions but learns how to act in certain situations because of an emotion.Psychologists think that there are two types of emotion, positive and negative. Positive emotions include love, liking, joy, delight, and hope. They are aroused by something that appeals to a person. Negative emotions make a person unhappy or dissatisfied. They include anger, fear, despair, sadness, and disgust. In growing up, a person learns to cope with the negative emotions in order to be happy.Emotions may be weak or strong. Some strong emotions are so unpleasant that a person will try any means to escape from them. In order to feel happy, the person may choose unusual ways to avoid the emotion.Strong emotions can make it hard to think and to solve problems. They may prevent a person from learning or paying attention to what he is doing. For example, a student taking an examination may be so worried about failing that he cannot think properly. The worry drains valuable mental energy he needs for the examination.36、 We learn from the passage that an emotion is created by something ______.A. one feels in dangerB. one faces in the outside worldC. one thinks bad or goodD. one tries to escape from real life37、 Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. Babies are born with emotions.B. Emotions fall into two types in general.C. Children learn emotions as they grow up.D. People learn to cope with the negative emotions in life as they grow up.38、 The author's purpose of writing this passage is to ______.A. explain why people have emotionsB. define and classify people's emotionsC. show how people avoid the negative emotionsD. explain what people should do about emotions39、 When a student is too worried about failing in the exam, ______.A. He will simply give upB. He will not be able to think properlyC. He will need extra energyD. He will try very hard to solve problems40、 The word "drains" (Para. 5) means ______.A. tiesB. stopsC. flowsD. weakensPassage ThreeMany a young person tells me he wants to be a writer. I always encourage such people, but I also explain that there's a big difference between "being a writer" and "writing". In most cases these individuals are dreaming of wealth and fame, not the long hour alone at a typewriter. "You've got to want to write," I say to them, "not want to be a writer".The reality is that writing is a lonely, private and poor-paying affair. For every writer kissed by fortune there are thousands more whose longing is never rewarded. When I left a 20-year career in the U.S. Coast Guard to become a freelance (自由栏目) writer, I had no prospects at all. What I did have was a friend who found me my room in a New York apartment building. It didn't even matter that it was cold and had no bathroom. I immediately bought a used manual typewriter and felt like a genuine writer.After a year or so, however, I still hadn't gotten a break and began to doubt myself. It was so hard to sell a story that I barely made enough to eat. But I knew I wanted to write. I had dreamed about it for years. I wasn't going to be one of those people who die wondering: What if? I would keep putting my dream to the test even though it meant living with uncertainty and fear of failure. This is the shadowland of hope, and anyone with a dream must learn to live there.41、 The word "prospects" (Para. 2) is closest in meaning to ______.A. rich resourcesB. reasonable hopesC. strong desiresD. enormous advantages42、 The writer mentions his 20-year career in the U. S. Coast Guard in order to show ______.A. his regret at leaving the armyB. his determination to realize his dreamC. his disappointment with the army lifeD. his excitement with the new life in the big city43、 The writer would use all the following words to describe his life as a writer except ______.A. failureB. lonelinessC. wealthD. hard work44、 What is the main idea of the passage?A. One may become a writer if he loves writing.B. One may become a writer if he keeps on writing.C. One will surely become a writer if he works hard.D. One will surely become a writer if he learns to write.45、 Who do you think most likely wrote this passage?A. A poor dreamer.B. A successful writer.C. A journal editor.D. A literature professor.Section BDirections:In this section, there is a passage with ten blanks. You are required to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage. Read the passage through carefully beforemaking your choices. Each choice in the bank is identified by a letter. Please mark the corresponding letter for each item on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre. You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.CATV is a short way of saying "community antenna television". But "cable television" is the term most people use. Cable television allows 46 to receive TV programs that they cannot pick up with their 47 antennas. Television signals do not 48 the curve of the earth. They travel in straight lines in all directions. Signals from a TV station 49 toward the horizon and then go into space. If you live only a few miles 50 a station, you may not get any picture at all.CATV began in 1984. People in places far from TV stations shared the 51 of putting up high antennas. A community antenna was usually placed on a hill, a mountain, or on a high tower. The antenna picked up TV signals and fed them into a small local station. From the station thick wires called cables ran out to nearby homes. Each person using the cable paid a monthly 52 .CATV worked well, and soon new uses were found 53 it. Local stations could feed programs into 54 channels that were not in use. People along the cable could have local news, weather reports, and farm and school news at no 55 charge.Today, cable television has moved into cities. It brings in extra programs that city viewers with ordinary antennas cannot see. It is also used in many classrooms throughout the country.A. follow F. special K. moneyB. into G. empty L. chargeC. move H. for M. costD. regular I. reach N. viewersE. from J. watchers O. extraPart ⅢIntegrated TestingSection ADirections:There are 20 blanks in the following passage. For each blank there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should choose the ONE that best fits into the passage. Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Smoking is considered dangerous to the health. Our tobacco-seller Mr. Johnson, therefore, always asks his 56 if they are very young, and whom the cigarettes are bought for.One day, a little girl whom he had never seen 57 walked boldly into his shop and demanded twenty cigarettes.

Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements with no more than 10 words. Please write your answers on Answer Sheet 2.The advantages of some form of international language in the modern world are obvious. Thanks to modern methods of transport, we can travel everywhere more easily and more quickly than ever before, but the language problem still remains. Without a common language, misunderstandings arise and there can be no real contact between people of different nationalities.There are two possible solutions to this problem: either we choose one of the existing major languages of the world, or we make up an artificial one. But neither solution is simple because no existing major language will be acceptable to everyone and because an artificial language, such as Esperanto, has no literature and would be thought dull by many learners.It is often said that English is quickly becoming a world language. It is certainly the most widely used language in the world, and second only to Chinese in its number of native speakers. But there are certain dangers in choosing English as an international language.First of all, owing to political reasons and national pride, English is not acceptable to everyone as a world language. Many dislike its influence; they see it as a form of interference, perhaps even domination. English words enter their languages and this too causes offence. Although English is being taught in more and more schools abroad, the process is not always p opular. Not every nation is prepared to accept the dominant position of a foreign language in their education system.Another danger is that differences in standard English arise from its use throughout the world. It could break up, with languages developing from dialects of English. Already Indian teachers and Nigerian students have been unable to understand each other's English.76、 Why can we travel more easily nowadays?______________________________________________77、 Why is there no real communication between people of different nationalities?______________________________________________78、 Which language is spoken by more people than any other language?______________________________________________79、 Why do many people dislike about English?______________________________________________80、 Why can't Indian teachers and Nigerian students understand each other's English?______________________________________________Part ⅣWriting81、Directions: Some students prefer to start their own business after graduation. Others prefer to work for an employer. Which do you prefer? Give reasons to support your answer. Write a short essay of about 100 words on this topic. Write your essay on Answer Sheet 2.答案:Part ⅠListening ComprehensionSection A1、A[听力原文]W: You will get my car fixed today, will you?M: I don't see any problem.
