For each question or statement there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You are required to make the correct choice and write the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Many post-80s couples are complaining that going to the movies, shopping or attending parties have become impossible since their kids were born. That' s the way most parents are living their lives, no weekends of their own, no time to visit friends, not even a chance of promotion in their jobs.Asking help from their parents might be a way out,but problems are that some aging parents are not strong enough to take care of the kids, and that the kids may also become too spoiled by their grandparents.Then, here comes a solution: families with kids can form a small group, and parents of each family can take turns to look after all the kids in this group on weekends. Thus, other parents can have some quiet time and feel free to do something they' ve been planning for a long time. At the same time, the kids can make new friends and won' t be hanging around their parents all day long. This is baby-pooling.46. Many post-80s couples can't go to the movies, shop or attend parties because .A. they have to look after their kidsB. they have to look after their parentsC. they are busy with their workD. they have no money47.

But there is much that can be done to minimize damage and loss of life. Measures that can be taken include designing solid buildings, and developing early-waming systems, public education programs and evacuation(疏散) strategies. Moreover, the approach of a tsunami is possibly picked up by the sensors of complicated international waming systems. Countries can use radio and television broadcasts as well as loudspeaker networks to warn the public.But an early waming system depends on how far the tsunami strikes, if it' s close by, the warning system is not going to be very effective. When people are faced with an unstoppable force like a tsunami the massive waves created by events like underwater earthquakes, the best course of action for them is to get inland and to the higher ground as quickly as possible.51. The first paragraph tells us that .A. man can easily defeat the natureB. tsunamis take place only in JapanC. man' s ability to cope with natural disasters is limitedD. the tsunami-damage in Japan is not so terrible52.

An early warning system is effective when a tsunami is close by.Task 3Directions : This task( No. 56 to No. 60) the same as Task l.Tuangou , also called team buying or group buying, is a recently developed shopping strategy starting in China. Several people connect over the Internet and agree to contact a seller of a specific product so that they can buy the same item as a group at a lower price. And the sellers benefit by selling many products at once.When people agree on group buying,individual members of the buying group can vouch for (替………担保)a particular seller’s quality to the rest of the group,therefore Tuangou helps of similar phenomena in Euroupe and North America.However,most of the group buying in these places is organized and done not by the team members themselves,but through online go-betweens.56.

Persons or companies that pass messages between sellers and buyersTask 4Directions: This task (No. 61 to No. 65) is the same as Task l.Facial expressions carry meanings that are partly determined by culture. For example, many Japanese do not show their emotions as freely as Americans do, so teachers in the United States sometimes have trouble knowing whether their Japanese students understand and enjoy their lessons.Another example is the smile. As a common facial expression, it may show affection, convey politeness, or disguise(掩饰) true feelings. But in different cultures. smiles have different meanings. Many people in Russia consider smiling at strangers in public to be unusual and even a suspicious behavior.Yet many Americans smile freely at strangers in public places, for American culture a smile is typically an expression of pleasure. Therefore some Russians believe that Americans smile in the wrong places; some Americans believe that Russians don' t smile enough. In Southeast Asian cultures, a smile is frequently used to cover emotional pain or embarrassment. Vietnamese people may tell the sad story of how they had to leave their country but end the story with a smile.61. The best title for this passage is .A. Russian CultureB.American CultureC.

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 oneMany teachers believe that the responsibility for learning lies with the students. If a long reading assignment is given, teachers expect students to be familiar with the information in the reading even if they do not discuss it in class or give an examination. The ideal student is considered to be one who is motivated to learn for the sake of learning, not the one interested only in getting high grades. When research is assigned, the professor in the United States expects the students to take the initiative and complete the assignment with less guidance. Professors will help students who need it, but prefer that their students not be over-dependent on them.In the united States, professors have other duties besides teaching. Often they are responsible foradministrative work within their departments. In addition, they may be obliged to publish articles and books. Therefore the time that a professor can spend with a student outside of class is limited. If a student has problems with classroom work, the student should either approach a professor during office hours or make appointment. Participation in the classroom is not only accepted but also expected of the students in many courses. Some professors base part of the final grade on the student's oral participation. Although there are formal lectures during which the student has a passive role (i.e. listening and taking notes), many courses are organized around classroom discussions, student questions and informal lectures.In the teaching of science and mathematics, the dominant mode of instruction is generally traditional with teachers presenting formal lectures and students taking note. However, new educational trends have psychology classes, for example, are often required to solve problems in groups, design projects, make presentations and examine case studies. Since some college or university courses are "applied" rather than "theoretical" they stress "doing" and involvement.51、 When research is assigned the professor ______.A. will give the student some necessary guidanceB. will not give student any guidanceC. prefer that student not be dependent on him at allD. expect the student to complete it under his guidance52、 Which of the following is NOT the duty of an American professor? ______A. Solving the students' problem during office hoursB. Being responsible for some administrative work.C. Publishing articles and books.D. Spending a lot of time with the students outside of the class.53、In the teaching of science and mathematics, the dominant mode of instruction is ______.A. classroom discussionB. student presentationC. formal lecturesD. informal lectures54、 New educational trend have emerge in the humanities and social science that stress ______A. the role of readingB. good academic recordC. the professor's illustrationD. the student's participation Passage TwoThe last few years have seen new wealth in the group of white-collar workers in China. Primarily this group consists of lawyers, artists, company presidents and employees of joint-venture companies. This group did not exist ten years ago. Business ventures such as real estate development, computer companies and travel agencies have nurtured this new class of ambitious Chinese who have tasted "the good life" and want even more of it.What are the marks of this group of people? First of all, it is defined by what its members have: cell phones, washing machines, microwave ovens, computers, homes and vacations. But this group is not only marked by material things. A psychological independence and carefree optimism is also present. Middel-aged successful company presidents, young professionals even college students are optimistic, expecting the best in their future.Chinese entrepreneurs(企业家)began accumulating money in the late 1980's. But it was not until the middle 90's that the material possession of the newly-rich——cell phones, computers, cars, houses were easily available. These high-tech entrepreneurs quit state enterprise to start private companies nearly a decade ago, when China started to transform from a planned to a market economy. These early entrepreneurs are now wealthy by any country's standards. However, like any newly-rich Chinese, they seem a little uncomfortable when asked about wealth.One reason for their discomfort is that they realize that the prosperity wealth that has created the group of newly-rich has not benefited all Chinese equally. Some entrepreneurs have move up in social status, but many workers have been laid off, losing their jobs temporarily for economic reason, from state-run factories.For most Chinese, the move into this style of Rife is still a step-by-step progress. It may be slow but many business people are hopeful. As a real estate entrepreneur from Beijing said: "This is not just about money. It's abouta better quality of life."55、The word "nurture" (Line 4, Prara1) probably means ______.A. naturalizeB. nourishC. care for and educateD. help the development of56、 According to the passage, which of the following are NOT marked of the newly-rich Chinese? ______A. Great ambition and the whish for a new lifestyle.B. Houses and vacations.C. Mobile phones and computers.D. Mental independence and optimism.57、Why do many newly-rich Chinese feel embarrassed when saked about wealth? ______A. Because they have higher social status.B. Because they have quit state-run factories.C. Because they have fired many employees.D. Because they know many others are not so wealthy.58、According to the real estate entrepreneur, many business people are looking forward to this Style of Life for the sake of ______.A. more wealthB. higher social statusC. better quality of lifeD. greater famePassage ThreeIn recent years a new and serious problem has arisen for international airlines and their passengers.This is the relatively new crime of hijacking. Once an unheard-of event, it has now become a common occurrence.There is not very much anyone can do once a hijacker is on board an aeroplane. He may be carrying a gun or hand grenades, which, if used, would cause a disaster. The only thing to do is try to ensure that these people never get on the plane in the first instance. So airlines all over the world have security procedures. Before any passenger can get on an airplane at the airport, he must go through a series of security checks to make sure he isn't carrying anything that ispotentially dangerous or could be used as a weapon on board. The security measures vary from airport to airport. At some airports there is very little security. At other airports thesecurity checks are very strict and it can take up to haft-an-hour to get through them all.Kai Tak Airport in Hong Kong, China, has a good security system. No aircraft starting its journey from Hong Kong has ever been hijacked. At Kai Tak, when a passenger first checks in, his or her name is matched with the computer list of passengers booked on that particular flight. If the name is not recognised, the passenger will be taken aside and questioned by security guards and may not be allowed on the plane. Next, every suitcase is X-ray checked before it goes into the plane. Any suitcase that seems to have something dangerous in it is not put on the plane. Then the hand baggage which the passengers will carry on to the plane is checked. Each passenger has to open his or her bag and the security clerk examines the contents. If there is anything that could be used as a weapon, a penknife for example, the security staff take it away and keep it in a safe place on the plane until the flight is over. The passenger can then collect it.Finally there is a body check of all passengers. They must pass through a door where X-rays will show if they are carrying anything made of metal, like a gun. If anything suspicious is found, they will be asked to explain. It is only after all these checks that a passenger is allowed to board the plane.59、 According to the first paragraph which of the following will the author disagree? ______A. Hijacking is a relatively new crime.B. Hijacking is practically unheard-of.C. The number of Hijacking is increasing.D. Hijacking is a serious problem facing international airlines.60、 The only thing we can do to prevent the disaster caused by Hijacking is to ______.A. set up a series of security proceduresB. exert control over gunsC. fight bravely against the hijackingD. meet the hijacker's demand61、 If there is anything that could be used as a weapon, the passager______.A. can keep it in a safe place on the planeB. can take it back from the security staff when the flight is overC. may not be allowed on the planeD. will be taken aside and questioned by security guards.62、At Kai Tak a passager has to get through all the following checks before boarding the plane except ______.A. having his name matched with the computer listB. having every suitcase X-ray checkedC. having the hand baggage X-ray checkedD. passing through a door for a body checkSection BDirections: Match the Chinese sentences in the left column with the English in the right column. Mark the corresponding letter on the answer sheet with a single line through the center.A. Soon after he transferred to the new school, John found that he had great difficulty keeping up with the rest of his class.B.

Translate the following paragraph into Chinese: (10 points)Rummaging through the fruit and veg section of my local supermarket, reading the country of origin labels, I am bewildered by the geography of it all. That the fruits of the earth should all be laid out on tidy shelves in this provincial corner of Britain would have been unthinkable a few years ago, yet now it is taken for granted.Once strange and exotic fruits that only the rich could afford, if not now part of everyone’s diet, are certainly part of our everyday shopping experience. So much so that instead of focusing on the novel, I am drawn to the commonplace. Here, among the “humble”vegetables, something strange and disturbing is going on.V.

Reading Comprehension (38 points)Passage 1Clearly if we are to participle in the society in which we live we must communicate with other people. A great deal of communicating is performed on a person-to-person basis by the simple means of speech. If we travel in buses, buy things in shops, or eat in restaurants, we are likely to have conversations where we give information or opinions, receive news or comment, and very likely have our views challenged by other members of society.Face-to-face contact is by no means the only form of communication and during the last two hundred years the art of mass communication has become of one of the dominating factors of contemporary society. Two things, above others, have caused the enormous growth of the communication industry. Firstly, inventiveness has led to advances in printing, telecommunications, photography, radio and television. Secondly, speed has revolutionized the transmission and reception of communications so that local news often takes a back seat to national news, which itself is often almost eclipsed by international news.No longer is the possession of information confined to a privileged minority. In the last century the wealthy man with his own library was indeed fortunate, but today there are public libraries. Forty years ago people used to flock to the cinema, but now far more people sit at home and turn on the TV to watch a programme that is being channeled into millions of homes. Communication is no longer merely concerned with the transmission of information. The modern communication industry influences the way people live in society and broadens their horizons by allowing access to information, education and entertainment. The printing, broadcasting and advertising industries are all involved with informing,educating and entertaining.Although a great deal of the material communicated by the mass media is very valuable to the individual and to the society of which he is a part, the vast modern network of communications is open to abuse. However, the mass media are with us for better, for worse, and there is no turning back.1. In the first paragraph the writer emphasizes the _________ of face-to-face contact in social settings.A natureB limitationC usefulnessD creativity2. It is implied in the passage that_______A local news used to be the only source of informationB local news still takes a significant placeC national news is becoming more popularD international news is the fastest transmitted news3. which of the following statement is INCORRECT?A To possess information used to be a privilegeB Public libraries have replaced private librariesC Communication means more than transmissionD Information influences ways of life and thinking4.From the last paragraph we can infer that the writer is________.A indifferent to the harmful influence of the mass mediaB happy about the drastic changes in the mass mediaC pessimistic about the future of the mass mediaD concerned about the wrong use of the mass mediaPassage 2I am one of the many city people who are always saying that given the choice we would prefer to live in the country away from the dirt and noise of a large city. I have managed to convince myself that it weren’t for my job I would immediately head out for the open spaces and go back to nature in some sleepy village buried in the country. But how realistic is the dream? Cities can be frightening places. The majority of the population live in massive tower blocks, noisy, dirty and impersonal. The sense of belonging to a community tends to disappear when you live fifteen floors up. All you can see from your window issky, or other blocks of flats. Children become aggressive and nervous—cooped up at home all day, with nowhere to play; their mothers feel isolated from the rest of the world. Strangely enough whereas in the past the inhabitants of one street all knew each other, nowadays people on the same floor in tower blocks don’t even say hello to each other.Country life, on the other hand, differs from this kind of isolated existence in that a sense of community generally binds the inhabitantsof small villages together. People have the advantage of knowing that there is always someone to turn to when they need help. But country life has disadvantages too. While it is true that you may be among friends in a village, it is also true that you are cut off from the existing and important events that take place in cities. There’s little possibility of going to a new show or the latest movie. Shopping becomes a major problem, and for anything slightly out of the ordinary you have to go on and expedition to the nearest large town. The city-dweller who leaves for the country is often oppressed by a sense of unbearable stillness and quiet.What, then, is the answer? The country has the advantage of peace and quiet, but suffers from the disadvantage of being cut off; the city breeds a feeling of isolation, and constant noise batters the senses. But one of its main advantages is that you are at the center of things, and that life doesn’t come to an end at half-past nine at night. Some people have found (or rather bought) a compromise between the two; they have expressed their preference for the “quiet life” by leaving the suburbs and moving to villages within commuting distance of large cities. They generally have about as much sensitivity as the plastic flowers they leave behind — they are polluted with strange ideas about change and improvement which they force on to the unwilling original inhabitants of the villages.What then of my dreams of leaning on a cottage gate and murmuring “morning” to the locals as they pass by? I’m keen on the idea, but you see there’s my cat, Toby, I’m not at all sure that he would take to all that fresh air and exercise in the long grass, I mean, can you see him mixing with all those hearty males down the farm? No, he would rather have the electric imitation-coal fire any evening.5. We get the impression from the first paragraph that the authorA used to live in the countryB used to work in the cityC works in the cityD lives in the country6. In the author’s opinion, the following may cause city people to be unhappy EXCEPTA a strong sense of fearB lack of communicationC housing conditionsD a sense of isolation7. The passage implies that it is easy to buy the following things in the country EXCEPTA daily necessitiesB fresh fruitsC designer clothesD fresh vegetables8. According to the passage, which of the following adjectives best describes those people who work in large cities and live in villages?A OriginalB QuietC ArrogantD Insensitive9. Do you think the author will move to the country?A Yes, he will do soB No, he will not do soC It is difficult to tellD He is in two mindsPassage 3Ideas about education are changing in the United States. Education todayis not just a high school diploma or a college degree. Many adults are not interested in going to college. They are interested in other kinds of learning. For them, learning does not end with a diploma.Continuing education gives these adults the opportunity to increase their knowledge about their own field or to learn about a new field. It also gives them a chance to improve their old skills or to learn new ones.Scientists, mechanics and barbers can take classes to improve their work skills. If they know more or learn more, they can get a better job or earn more money.Continuing education classes give more adults the chances to learn new skills. There is usually a large variety of classes to choose from: typing, foreign cooking, photography, auto repair, furniture repair, or swimming. These are only some of the classes available. Some adults take classes for fun or because the class will be useful for them. Other adults take continuing education classes to improve their own lives because they want to feel better about themselves.Almost any community college or public school system has a continuing education program. There are classes in schools, community buildings or churches. Most classes are in the evening, so working people can attend. The classes are usually small, and they are inexpensive.10. The new idea about education in the U.S. is that__________.A. everyone should get a college degreeB. It’s no use for adults to go to collegeC. a high school diploma is the end of educationD. adults should go on learning after graduating from school11. What’s the purpose for adults to continue their education?A. Enlarge their knowledge and learn new skills.B. Catch up the opportunity to get a higher degree.C. Learn more basic knowledge to get a diploma.D. Make themselves live a more comfortable life.12. Which of the following statement is true?A. There are only a few continuing education classes available for adults.B. Only those who want to get more money should go on with their education.C. People take continuing education can get a good job.D. All the people getting continuing education can get a good job.13. Usually, the continuing education program is given________.A. in a small size and expensivelyB. only for working peopleC. only in community buildings or churchesD. by community colleges and public schools14. The best title for the passage would be _________.A. Continuing Education ClassesB. The Importance of a College DegreeC. A Good Way to Earn More MoneyD. Difference Choices for AdultsPassage 4Human cloning technology could be used to reverse heart attacks. Scientists believe that they may be able to treat heart attack victims by cloning their healthy heart cells and injecting them into the areas of the heart that have been damaged, and other problems may be solved if human cloning and its technology are not forbidden.With cloning, infertile couples could have children. Current treatments for infertility, in terms of percentages, are not very successfully. Couples go through physically and emotionally painful procedures for a small chance of having children. Many couples run out of time and money without successfully having children. Human cloning could make it possible for many more infertile couples to have children than ever before.We should be able to clone the bone marrow for children and adults suffering from leukemia. This is expected to be one of the first benefits to come from cloning technology.We may learn how to switch cells on and off through cloning and thus be able to cure cancer.Cloning technology can be used to test for and perhaps cure gene-related diseases.The above is just a few examples of what human cloning technology can do for mankind. This new technology promises unprecedented advancement in medicine if people will release their fears and let the benefits begin.15．Heart attacks can be treated with human cloning technology by___________.A removing the damaged part of the heartB replacing the old heart with a cloned oneC repairing the heart with cells cloned from healthy onesD giving the patients injections of various medicines16. The word “infertile”(Line 1, Para.2) most probably means“____________”.A unable to give birth to a childB with physical and emotional problemsC short of time and moneyD separated from each other for long17. According to the passage, one of the first expected benefits from cloning technology may be in ____________.A the treatment of heart attacksB the bearing of babiesC the cure of blood diseasesD the detection of gene-related diseases18. Cancer may be cured with the cloning technology by___________.A attacking the diseased cells with healthy onesB controlling the growth of the cellsC detecting disordered genes in the cancel cellsD activating cancer cells by switching them on19. According to the writer, the main problem with the development of human cloning technology is that___________.A it may be out of human controlB it has brought about few benefits so farC people still know little about itD people are afraid of such technologyVII.

Each passage is followed by somequestions 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 write the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneQuestions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:I was born in the city of York, in England, in the year 1632. My father was a man of some wealth, able to give me a good home and send me to school. It was his wish that I should be a lawyer but my head began to be filled very early with thoughts of travel, and I would be satisfied with nothing but going to sea. My father gave me strong advice against it, but with little effect. One day, being at Hull, I met a school-fellow who was about to sail for London in his father's ship, and he invited me to go with him, and without telling my father, I went on board. On the way to London, a storm arose, the ship was wrecked (失事), and we barely escaped with our lives. I went on foot to London, where I met with the master of a vessel which did business with countries on the coast of Africa. He took a fancy to me, and offered me a chance to go with him on his voyages, which I gladly accepted.A great storm came up, and the ship was tossed (被颠簸) about for many days, until we did not know where we were. Suddenly we struck a bank of sand, and the sea broke over the ship in such a way that we could not hope to have her hold many moments without breaking into pieces. So we launched (使…下水)a boat. After we had been driven four or five miles,a mountainous wave struck us so hard that it overturned the boat at once.Though I swam well but the waves were so strong that I was dashed (被猛撞) against a rock with such force that it left me senseless. But I recovered a little before the waves returned, and, running forward, got to the mainland safely.1. What did the author want to do most when he was young ？ A) To visit Africa. B) To sail the seas. C) To practice law.D) To make a tour of London.2. Why did the author go on foot to London? A) The ship he took was destroyed in a storm.B) His father did not supply the fare for the journey. C) He went against his father's strong advice not to do so D) His school-fellow invited him to go together. 3. Why did they launch a boat?A) They knew they were near the Shore.B) The big waves were about to overturn the ship.C) Their ship had been knocked about for many days on the sea. D) Their ship had struck sand and was about to break into pieces. 4. When the author got to the mainland, he _______ A) searched everywhere for his lost companions B) fell down on the ground senseless C) was safe and soundD) ran forward to escape being washed back into the sea5. When the author finally arrived on land, he most probably ______ A) knew he was in Africa B) did not know where he wasC) was not aware he was back in EnglandD) got in touch with his family and asked for helpPassage TwoQuestions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:Although Thomas Jefferson did not begin the effort of designing the系 专业 准考证号 姓名 考场University of Virginia until late in his life, the education of the common man had occupied his thoughts for decades. He believed ignorance (无知) to be the enemy of freedom, and he wanted to correct what he considered to be the weaknesses of educational institutions (机构) modeled on European settings. He imagined that an "academical village" around a tree-lined lawn would provide an ideal setting in which to pursue higher education, the center of such a village would be a Temple of Knowledge that would house the university library.When Virginia decided to set up a state university in 1818, the retired U.S. President finally was able to devote his talent, time, and energy to creating this new kind of educational institution. By the time he was finished with his design, Jefferson had invented an entirely new American setting for higher education: the college campus.In 1812, Jefferson chose to begin buliding his 'academical village," the University of Virginia. in Charlottesville, V A, far away from the city center. He intended this spot to promote learning because it was natural and unspoiled, and far from anything that could distract or harm the students. The University consists of two rows of houses, five on each side, leading to a main building. This main building, the Rotunda, became the most important part of the University, because it contained the library. By focusing his entire institution on the library, instead of around the church. Jefferson revo-lutionized American university architecture.Jefferson's aim was to create a new institutional form for his ideal educational system, a system he thought should give every citizen the information he needs for carrying out his ,daily business. This new approach to citizenship and education demanded a new type of university, one where students and professors could coexist and share ideas He attempted to create this environment by combining the professors' houses and students' classrooms, and linking all the buildings with covered walkways so intellectual exchanges between departments could go on smoothly. Jefferson had also recognized the importance of the students' whole life, and given much thought and planning to the students' dining, living, and exercise facilities (设施).6. Jefferson devoted much of his thought to the education of the common man because he believed _______.A) everyone who loved freedom hated ignoranceB) a country could not be strong without educationC) an uneducated man could not gain full freedomD) European educational institutions did not suit America7. According to Jefferson, the center of a university should be ______.A) the churchB) the libraryC) the lawnD) the classrooms8. Jefferson chose to locate the University of Virginia far away from the citycenter because_______.A) land in the city center could not be foundB) there was a tree-lined lawn thereC) this was a European traditionD) there was no distraction for the students9. In Jefferson's view, an ideal educational system should_______.A) be one under which every citizen enjoys equal opportunityB) give everyone the information he needs for conducting his businessC) ensure that everyone has a chance to enter an institution of higher learningD) provide students with a natural and unspoiled setting for learning10. What was made easy by the revolutionized American campus?A) Students' learning.B) Intellectual exchange.C) Professors' teaching.D) Both students' and professors' lifePassage ThreeQuestions 11 to 15 ore based on the following passage:The good news we get from TV and radio makes us feel more kindly toward other people, but bad news—especially news of cruelty and violence —stirs upsuspicion and a sense of competition toward others.These are the findings of 10 years of experiments by research psychologists (心理学家) at Columbia University, who conclude that broadcasters encouragehostile (敌对的) behavior by stressing bad news."We found that the news people are exposed to either encourages them to concentrate on the differences between themselves and others, or on the common第2 页共5 页problems that make them feel, 'We're all in this together,'" explained Dr. Harvey Hornstein."News about one human being helping another ... brings our feelings of trust and cooperation. But news about one person actually doing harm to another changes our estimate of other people for the worse."In an early experiment in 1968, Dr. Hornstein and his associates, who had been dropping wallets (钱包) for two years to test the honesty of people, discovered that on June 4, 1968, not one wallet was returned."That was the night Robert F. Kennedy was shot," he recalled. "Strangers suddenly seemed dangerous, and nobody wanted to return a lost wallet to a stranger."But good news on the other hand, lifts us up," he stressed, citing the date of July 4, 1976, America's Bicentennial (两百年的) celebration. "On that day, we all felt safe and good. Being American was the thing. We all felt as if we all belonged together."Recent tests surport these conclusions, in one experiment, 60 subjects were exposed to good news, bad news or music. Then they were told to play a game with a non-existent person supposedly in another room. it was a game of choice that emphasized cooperation or competition.After hearing good news, the overwhelming majority, 91 percent, played cooperatively. But after hearing bad news competitive responses were over three times as high — up to 28 percent, from 9 percent."if we watch television and see a lot of blood," said Dr. Hornstein, "we're probably assuming that the world is a dirtier place than we assumed before we saw that TV violence. And we'll deal with the next individual we come upon as if he is part of that grim (冷酷的) picture of humanity. After the good news, it's the reverse."11. According to the findings of researchers at Columbia University, when people hear good news, they feel_______.A) happierB) more kindly toward othersC) safer than they really areD) more competitive12. Dr. Harvey Hornstein found that when people hear news about one personactually doing harm to another, they tend to _______.A) regard other people as worse than they really areB) treat total strangers as suspects of cruel crimesC) become hostile towards neighbors and friendsD) think about the common problems facing mankind13. What did Dr. Harvey Hornstein and his associates discover on the night ofJune 4, 1968？A) Robert F. Kennedy was shot.B) Their wallets were lost.C) People in America suddenly became dishonest.D) Nobody returned the wallets they dropped.14. We can infer from the passage that on July 4, 1976, most probably _______.A) people drank and sang and dancedB) lost wallets were returned to their ownersC) everybody wanted to be AmericanD) even criminals were friendly to others15. We can conclude from the passage that .A) violence on TV leads to more violence on the streetsB) broadcasters should emphasize good news rather than bad newsC) the world is a dirtier place than we assume it to beD) people are more competitive when they are faced with challengesPassage FourQuestions 16 to 20 are based on following passage:A study suggests that dirty air can reduce lung development. Researchers atthe University of Southern California in Los Angeles published their work in theNew England Journal of Medicine.About one thousand seven hundred children from different communities in Southern California took part in the study. The scientists tested the children everyyear for eight years, starting at age ten They say this is the longest study everdone on air pollution and the health of children.The scientists found that children who lived in areas with the dirtiest air wire five times more likely to grow up with weak lungs. Many were using less thaneighty percent of normal lung strength, to breathe.第3 页共5 页The damage from dirty air was as bad as that found in children with parents who smoke. Children with reduced lung power may suffer more severe effects from a common cold, for example.But the researchers express greater concerns about long-time effects. They say adults normally begin to lose one percent of their lung power each year after age twenty. The doctors note that weak lung activity is the second leading cause of early deaths among adults. The first is smoking.By the time people are eighteen, their lungs are fully developed, or close to it. The doctors say it is impossible to recover from any damage.Researchers say they are still not sure how air pollution affects lung development. They believe that pollution affects the tiny air spaces where oxygen and carbon dioxide （二氧化碳）are exchanged.Arden Pope is an economics professor at Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah. Professor Pope wrote a commentary about the study. He noted that air quality in Southern California has improved since the study began in the early nineteen-nineties. Clean-air laws have reduced pollution from vehicles, industry and other causes.But dirty air is still a problem in areas of California and other places. Professor Pope says continued efforts to improve air quality are likely to provide additional improvements in health.16. A study done by researchers at the University of Southern California indicates that _______.A) 1,700 children from Southern California have weak lung activitiesB) children in Southern California use less lung strength to breatheC) air pollution may affect the growth of children's lungsD) 80 percent of children in Southern California suffer from air pollution17. According to the article, children living in dirty airA) may lose eighty percent of their normal lung strengthB) may suffer more severe effects from a common coldC) were five times more likely to catch a common coldD) were unlikely to recover from any lung damage18. Why do the researchers express greater concern about the long-term effects of air pollution on children?A) They begin to lose 1% of their lung power each year after 20.B) They do not show any signs of lung damage when they are young.C) They may suffer early death when they grow up.D) They cannot expect to have their lungs fully developed at 18.19. What do we learn from the passage about the air in Southern California?A) It is unlikely to improve in the near future.B) It is free of pollution from vehicles and industry.C) It is as dirty as it was before.D) It is cleaner than it was in the early 1990s.20.

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 oneMany teachers believe that the responsibility for learning lies with the students. If a long reading assignment is given, teachers expect students to be familiar with the information in the reading even if they do not discuss it in class or give an examination. The ideal student is considered to be one who is motivated to learn for the sake of learning, not the one interested only in getting high grades. When research is assigned, the professor in the United States expects the students to take the initiative and complete the assignment with less guidance. Professors will help students who need it, but prefer that their students not be over-dependent on them.In the united States, professors have other duties besides teaching. Often they are responsible for administrative work within their departments. In addition, they may be obliged to publish articles and books. Therefore the time that a professor can spend with a student outside of class is limited. If a student has problems with classroom work, the student should either approach a professor during office hours or make appointment. Participation in the classroom is not only accepted but also expected of the students in many courses. Some professors base part of the final grade on the student's oral participation. Although there are formal lectures during which the student has a passive role (i.e. listening and taking notes), many courses are organized around classroom discussions, student questions and informal lectures.In the teaching of science and mathematics, the dominant mode of instruction is generally traditional with teachers presenting formal lectures and students taking note. However, new educational trends have psychology classes, for example, are often required to solve problems in groups, design projects, make presentations and examine case studies. Since some college or university courses are "applied" rather than "theoretical" they stress "doing" and involvement.51、 When research is assigned the professor ______.A. will give the student some necessary guidanceB. will not give student any guidanceC. prefer that student not be dependent on him at allD. expect the student to complete it under his guidance52、 Which of the following is NOT the duty of an American professor? ______A. Solving the students' problem during office hoursB. Being responsible for some administrative work.C. Publishing articles and books.D. Spending a lot of time with the students outside of the class.53、 In the teaching of science and mathematics, the dominant mode of instruction is ______.A. classroom discussionB. student presentationC. formal lecturesD. informal lectures54、 New educational trend have emerge in the humanities and social science that stress ______A. the role of readingB. good academic recordC. the professor's illustrationD. the student's participation Passage TwoThe last few years have seen new wealth in the group of white-collar workers in China. Primarily this group consists of lawyers, artists, company presidents and employees of joint-venture companies. This group did not exist ten yearsago. Business ventures such as real estate development, computer companies and travel agencies have nurtured this new class of ambitious Chinese who have tasted "the good life" and want even more of it.What are the marks of this group of people? First of all, it is defined by what its members have: cell phones, washing machines, microwave ovens, computers, homes and vacations. But this group is not only marked by material things. A psychological independence and carefree optimism is also present. Middel-aged successful company presidents, young professionals even college students are optimistic, expecting the best in their future.Chinese entrepreneurs(企业家)began accumulating money in the late 1980's. But it was not until the middle 90's that the material possession of the newly-rich——cell phones, computers, cars, houses were easily available. These high-tech entrepreneurs quit state enterprise to start private companies nearly a decade ago, when China started to transform from a planned to a market economy. These early entrepreneurs are now wealthy by any country's standards. However, like any newly-rich Chinese, they seem a little uncomfortable when asked about wealth.One reason for their discomfort is that they realize that the prosperity wealth that has created the group of newly-rich has not benefited all Chinese equally. Some entrepreneurs have move up in social status, but many workers have been laid off, losing their jobs temporarily for economic reason, from state-run factories.For most Chinese, the move into this style of Rife is still a step-by-step progress. It may be slow but many business people are hopeful. As a real estate entrepreneur from Beijing said: "This is not just about money. It's abouta better quality of life."55、 The word "nurture" (Line 4, Prara1) probably means ______.A. naturalizeB. nourishC. care for and educateD. help the development of56、 According to the passage, which of the following are NOT marked of the newly-rich Chinese? ______A. Great ambition and the whish for a new lifestyle.B. Houses and vacations.C. Mobile phones and computers.D. Mental independence and optimism.57、 Why do many newly-rich Chinese feel embarrassed when saked about wealth? ______A. Because they have higher social status.B. Because they have quit state-run factories.C. Because they have fired many employees.D. Because they know many others are not so wealthy.58、 According to the real estate entrepreneur, many business people are looking forward to this Style of Life for the sake of ______.A. more wealthB. higher social statusC. better quality of lifeD. greater famePassage ThreeIn recent years a new and serious problem has arisen for international airlines and their passengers.This is the relatively new crime of hijacking. Once an unheard-of event, it has now become a common occurrence.There is not very much anyone can do once a hijacker is on board an aeroplane. He may be carrying a gun or hand grenades, which, if used, would cause a disaster. The only thing to do is try to ensure that these people never get on the plane in the first instance. So airlines all over the world have security procedures. Before any passenger can get on an airplane at the airport, he must go through a series of security checks to make sure he isn't carrying anything that ispotentially dangerous or could be used as a weapon on board. The security measures vary from airport to airport. At some airports there is very little security. At other airports the security checks are very strict and it can take up to haft-an-hour to get through them all.Kai Tak Airport in Hong Kong, China, has a good security system. No aircraft starting its journey from Hong Kong has ever been hijacked. At Kai Tak, when a passenger first checks in, his or her name is matched with the computer list of passengers booked on that particular flight. If the name is not recognised, the passenger will be taken aside and questioned by security guards and may not be allowed on the plane. Next, every suitcase is X-ray checked before it goes into the plane. Any suitcase that seems to have something dangerous in it is not put on the plane. Then the hand baggage which the passengers will carry on to the plane is checked. Each passenger has to open his or her bag and the security clerk examines the contents. If there is anything that could be used as a weapon, a penknife for example, the security staff take it away and keep it in a safe place on the plane until the flight is over. The passenger can then collect it.Finally there is a body check of all passengers. They must pass through a door where X-rays will show if they are carrying anything made of metal, like a gun. If anything suspicious is found, they will be asked to explain. It is only after all these checks that a passenger is allowed to board the plane.59、 According to the first paragraph which of the following will the author disagree? ______A. Hijacking is a relatively new crime.B. Hijacking is practically unheard-of.C. The number of Hijacking is increasing.D. Hijacking is a serious problem facing international airlines.60、 The only thing we can do to prevent the disaster caused by Hijacking is to ______.A. set up a series of security proceduresB. exert control over gunsC. fight bravely against the hijackingD. meet the hijacker's demand61、 If there is anything that could be used as a weapon, the passager______.A. can keep it in a safe place on the planeB. can take it back from the security staff when the flight is overC. may not be allowed on the planeD. will be taken aside and questioned by security guards.62、 At Kai Tak a passager has to get through all the following checks before boarding the plane except ______.A. having his name matched with the computer listB. having every suitcase X-ray checkedC. having the hand baggage X-ray checkedD. passing through a door for a body checkSection BDirections: Match the Chinese sentences in the left column with the English in the right column. Mark the corresponding letter on the answer sheet with a single line through the center.A. Soon after he transferred to the new school, John found that he had great difficulty keeping up with the rest of his class.B. Throughout the project, people have received training and decided to start over their own business.C. Our efforts will pay off if the results of the research can be applied to the development of the new technology.D. I can't start my computer now, something must have with the operating system.63、如果研究结果能够应用于新技术的开发，我们的努力就没有白费。

Comprehension.本大题共20小题，每小题 1.5分，共30分）Section ADirections:There are3passages in this part.Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements.Choose the,best answer and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage OneMany teachers believe that the responsibility for learning lies with the student.If a long reading assignment is given,teachers expect students to be familiar with the information in the reading ever if they do not discuss it in class or give an examination.The ideal student is considered to be one who is motivated to learn for the sake of learning,not the one interested only in getting high grades.When research is assigned,the professor in the United States expects the student to take the initiative and complete the assignment with less guidance.(71)Professors will help students who need it,but prefer that their students not be over-dependent on them.In the United States,professors have other duties besides teaching minimal guidance Often they are responsible for administrative work within their departments.In addition,they may be obliged to publish articles and books.Therefore the time that a professor can spend with a student outside of class is limited.If a student has problems with classroom work,the student should either approach a professor during office hours or make appointment.Participation in the classroom is not only accepted but also expected of the students in many courses.Some professors base part of the final grade on the student‟s oral participation.Although there are formal lectures during which the student has a passive role(i.e.listening and taking notes),many courses are organized around classroom discussions,student questions and informal lectures.In the teaching of science and mathematics,the dominant mode of instruction is generally traditional with teachers presenting formal lectures and students taking note. However,new educational trends have psychology classes,for example,are often required to solve problems.In groups.design projects,make presentations and examine case studies.(72)Since some college or university courses are"applied" rather than“theoretical"they8tres"doing"and involvement.51.When research is assigned the professor,_____.A will give the student some necessary guidanceB)will not give student any guidanceC)prefer that student not be dependent on him at allD)expect the student to complete it under his guidance52.Which of the following is NOT the duty of an American professor?A)Solving the students'problem during office hours.B)Being responsible for some administrative work.C)Publishing articles and books.D)Spending a lot of time with the students outside of the class.53.In the teaching of science and mathematics,the dominant mode of instruction is_____.A)classroom discussionB)student presentationC)formal lecturesD)informal lectures54.New educational trend have emerge in the humanities and social science that stress_____.A)the role of readingB)good academic recordC)the professor's illustrationD)the student's participationPassage TwoThe last few years have seen new wealth in the group of white-collar workers in China.Primarily this group consists of lawyers,artists,company presidents and employees of joint-venture companies.This group did not exist ten years ago.Business ventures such as real estate development,computer companies and travel agencies have nurtured this new class of ambitious Chinese who have tasted“the good life"and want even more of it.What are the marks of this group of people?First of all,it is defined by what its members have:cell phones,washing machines,microwave ovens,computers,homes and vacations.But this group is not only marked by material things.A psychological independence and carefree optimism is also present.Middel-aged successful companypresidents,young professionals even college students are optimistic,expecting the best in their future.Chinese entrepreneurs(企业家)began accumulating money in the late1980's. But it was not until the middle90's that the material possession of the newly-rich--cell phones,computers,cars,houses were easily available.These high-tech entrepreneurs quit state enterprise to start private companies nearly a decade ago,when China started to transform from a planned to a market economy.These early entrepreneurs are now wealthy by any country's standards.(73)However,like any newly-rich Chinese.they seem a little uncomfortable when asked about wealth.One reason for their discomfort is that they realize that the prosperity wealth that has created the group of newly-rich has not benefited all Chinese equally.Some entrepreneurs have move up in social status.but many workers have been laid off,losing their jobs temporarily for economic reason,from state-run factories.For most Chinese,the move into this style of life is still a step-by-step progress. It may be slow but many business people are hopeful.As a real estate entrepreneur from Beijing said:"This is not just about money,It's about a better quality of life."55.The word“nurture"(Line4,Para.1)probably means_____.A)naturalize B)nourishC)care for and educate D)help the development of56.According to the passage.which of the following are NOT marked of the newly rich Chinese?A)Great ambition and the which for a new lifestyle,B)Houses and vacations.C)Mobile phones and computers.D)Mental independence and optimist.57.Why do many newly rich Chinese feel embarrassed when asked about wealth?A)Because they have higher social status.B)Because they have quit state-run factories.C)Because they have fired many employees.D)Because they know many others are not so wealthy.58.According to the real estate entrepreneur,many business people are looking forward to this Style of Life for the sake of_____.A)more wealth B)higher social statusC)better quality of life D)greater famePassage Three(74)In recent years a new and serious problem has arisen for international airlines and their passengers.This is the relatively new crime of hijacking.Once an unheard-of event.it has now become a common occurrence.There is not very much anyone can do once a hijacker is on board an aeroplane. He may be carrying a gun or hard grenades,which,if used,would cause a disaster. The only thing to do is try to ensure that these people never get on the plane in the first instance.So airlines all over the world have security procedures.Before any passenger can get on an airplane at the airport,he must go through a series of security checks to make sure he isn't carrying anything that is potentially dangerous or could be used as a weapon on board.The security measures vary from airport to airport.At some airports there is very little security.At other airports the security checks are very strict and it can take up to half-an-hour to get through them all.Kai Tak Airport in Hong Kong.China,has a good security system.No aircraft starting its journey from Hong Kong has ever been hijacked.At Kai Tak,when a passenger first checks in,his or her name is matched with the computer list of passengers booked on that particular flight.If the name is not recognised,the passenger will be taken aside and questioned by security guards and may not be allowed on the plane,Next,every suitcase is X-ray checked before it goes into the plane.Any suitcase that seems to have something dangerous in it is not put on the plane.Then the hand baggage which the passengers will carry on to the plane is checked.Each passenger has to open his or her bag and the security clerk examines the contents.If there is anything that could be used as a weapon,a penknife for example,the security staff take it away and keep it in a safe place on the plane until the flight is over,the passenger can then collect it.Finally there is a body check of all passengers.They must pass through a door where X-rays will show if they are carrying anything made of metal,like a gun.If anything suspicious is found,they will be asked to explain.(75)It is only after all these checks that a passenger is allowed to board the plane.59.According to the first paragraph which of the following will the author disagree?A)Hijacking is a relatively new crime.B)Hijacking is practically unheard-of.C)The number of Hijacking is increasing.D)Hijacking is a serious problem facing international airlines.60.The only thing we can do to prevent the disaster caused by Hijacking is to_____.A)set up a series of security proceduresB)exert control over gunsC)fight bravely against the hijackingD)meet the hijacker s demand61.If there is anything that could be used as a weapon,the passenger,_____.A)can keep it in a safe place on the planeB)can take it back from the security staff when the flight is overC)may not be allowed on the planeD)will be taken aside and questioned by security guards62.At Kai Tak a passenger has to get through all the following checks before boarding the plane except_____.A)having his name matched with the computer listB)having every suitcase X-ray checkedC having the hand baggage X-ray checkedD)passing through a door for a body checkSection BDirections:Match the Chinese sentences in the left column with the English in the right column.Mark the corresponding letter on the answer sheet with a single line through the center.63.如果研究结果能够应用于新技术的开发，我们的努力就没有白费。

Reading Comprehension (45 points)Section A (30 points, 2 for each)Directions: There are three passages in this part. Each of the three passages 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 SHEETwith a single line through the center.Questions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage：A dinner party is often a pleasurable time for everyone but the host, so the important point to keep in mind is that “planning” is a key part of a successful dinner party.All too often, hosts make the mistake of over-exerting themselves, leaving little time to enjoy the evening themselves. The following information can help you make it an enjoyable night for both yourself and your guests.Firstly, make a guest list so you’ll know how many people to cook for. Let your guests know the time and date of the dinner well in advance and be sure to remind them shortly before the party. Make a checklist of ingredients and drinks that you’ll need and try to buy them a couple of days before the party. Get the house in order the day before the dinner party. If you leave your house cleaning till the day off, you might find yourself more stressed than you need to be. Keeping the menu simple doesn’t mean it has to be boring. The night will also be a lot easier for you if you prepare dishes that can be laid out at the centre of the table, allowing guests to serve themselves. You can provide some music and the type of music will depend on the type of guests. You might not think of it, but the night will run a lot smoother with background music for the evening.46. What can be inferred from the first two paragraphs ?A. Usually both the host and the guests enjoy themselves at the party.B. A good "planning" means over-exerting the host.C. The host should make a fuller preparation in order to have more time to enjoy the party.D. It's important for hosts to leave themselves some time to enjoy the dinner party.47. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in planning a diner party ?A. Inform your guests of the time and date beforehand.B. List the ingredients and drinks for the party and buy them before the party.48. Get your house in order the day before the dinner party so that___________ .A. you may find yourself less stressed than you need to beB. you won't get up so early on the party dayC. you will have little time to enjoy the partyD. your guests will be much happier49. Which statement is NOT true according to the information given in the passage?A. Making lists helps.B. A simple menu must be boring as well.C. Music can make the party go smoother.D. Allowing guests to help themselves makes things easier.50. What's the third paragraph mainly about ?A. How to save time for a dinner party.B. How to entertain your guests.C. How to plan a party.D. How to enjoy yourself at a party.Questions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage："Family" is of course an elastic(弹性的) word. But when British people say that their society is based on family life, they are thinking of "family" in its narrow, peculiarly European sense of mother,father,and children living together alone in their own house as an economic and social unit.Thus,every British marriage indicates the beginning of a new and independent family —hence the tremendous importance of marriage in British life.For both the man and the woman,marriage means leaving one's parents and startingone's own life.The man's first duty will then be to his wife,and the wife's to her husband.He will be entirely responsible for her financial support,and she for the running of the new home.Their children will be their common responsibility and theirs alone.Neither the wife's parents nor the husband's,nor their brothers or sisters,aunts or uncles,have any right to interfere with them—they are their own masters.Readers of novels like Jane Austin's Pride and Prejudice will know that in former times marriage among wealthy families were arranged by the girl's parents,that is,it was the parents' duty to find a suitable husband for their daughter,preferably a rich one,and by skillful encouragement—lead him eventually to ask their permission to marry her.Until that time,the girl was protected and maintained in the parents' home and the financial relief(减轻) of getting rid of her could be seen in their giving the newly married pair a sum of money called a dowry(嫁妆).It is very different today.Most girls of today get a job when they leave school and become financially independent before their marriage.This has had two results.A girl chooses her own husband, and she gets no dowry.51.What does the author mean by "Family is of course an elastic word"?A.Different families have different ways of life.B.Different times produce different families.C.Different nations have different families.D.Different definitions could be given to the word.52.For an English family,the husband's duty is ______.A.financial while the wife's is running the homeB.defending the family which the wife's is running the homeD.independent while the wife's is dependent53.Everything is decided in a British family ______.A. by the coupleB. with the help of their parentsC.by brothers and sistersD.with the help of aunts and uncles54. What is true concerning the book “Pride and Prejudice”?A. It is the best book on marriage.B. It is a handbook of marriage.C. It gives quite some idea of English social life in the past.D. It provides a lot of information of former-time wealthy families.55.With regard to marriage in Britain, present-day girls differ from former time girls in ____.A. the right to get marriedB. more parental supportC.finding a jobD. social positionQuestions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage：Praise is a powerful tool but many parents have misconceptions about what it does and how it works. Praise encourages motivation and confidence, but a surprising number of people think it's the cause of jealousy, laziness and resentment. What are the most common assumptions about praise?“There's no need to say anything.”If things are going well, you may think there's no need to say anything. This attitude can be summed up as “if I don't say anything, then everything's OK”. What this really means is “I'll only say something when there is something to criticize”.“If I say 'well done', they'll stop trying.”Do you think that if you compliment your children they'll slack off? If we are praised for a job well done, it generally encourages us to do better, not worse. The disappointment we feel when good work is not recognized gives rise to the feeling “why should I bother if nobody notices?”“If I praise one, the others will be jealous.”If you are honest and fair in your praise and recognize the special talents of each child, they won't resent praise given to their siblings. Each will feel valued for the unique individuals they are. Children who feel good about themselvesare usually generous in their praise of other people. Never use praise of one as a way of implicitly criticizing another. For example, “you're always so cheerful...”with its implied message “... unlike your moody brother”.“What if there's nothing to praise?”There is always something to praise. You have to catch your child doing something right. Have a positive attitude to the things he does and remember the praise must always be genuine. Your child will quickly sense when you are lying.56. Many parents have misunderstandings about .A. how powerful praise isD. how to give genuine praises to their children57. Why do some parents consider it unnecessary to say anything to praise their children?A. Because they think things aren’t always going well.B. Because they don’t like to praise their children.C. Because they only think it necessary to say something when there is something to criticize.D. Because they don’t like to criticize their children.58. When you are praising one kid, you should .A. praise other kids tooB. explain the kid’s special talentsC. tell others to be generous and not to be jealousD. make sure you don’t hurt another kid indirectly59. Children who ________ are usually generous in their praise of other people.A. feel good about themselvesB. feel bad about themselvesC. seldom receive praisesD. receive false praises60. Which of the following may be the best title for this passage?A. How to Be Good ParentsB. Misunderstandings About PraiseC. The Power of the PraiseD. All Kids Love PraisesSection B Short Answer questions(15 points, 3 for each)Directions: Answer each of the questions in less than 10 words.Pronouncing a language is a skill. Every normal person is an expert in the skill of pronouncing his own language， but few people are even moderately proficient at pronouncing foreign languages. Now there are many reasons for this， some obvious， some perhaps not so obvious. But I suggest that the fundamental reason why people in general do not speak foreign languages very much better than they do is that they fail to grasp the true nature of the problem of learning to pronounce，and consequently never set about tackling it in the right way. Far too many people fail to realize that pronouncing a foreign language is a skill，one that needs careful training of a special kind，and one that cannot be acquired by just leaving it to take care of itself. I think even teachers of language，while recognizing the importance of a good accent，tend to neglect，in their practical teaching，the branch of study concerned with speaking the language.So the first point I want to make is that English pronunciation must be taught; the teacher should be prepared to devote some of the lesson time to this，and by his whole attitude to the subject should get the student to feel that here is a matter worthy of receiving his close attention. Besides this question of the time given to pronunciation，there are two other requirements for the teacher： the first，knowledge; the second， technique. It is also possible in this way to get a clear mental picture of the relationship between the sounds of different languages， between the speech habits ofEnglish people and those， say，of your students. Unless the teacher has such a picture，any comments he may make on his students‘ pronunciation are unlikely to be of much use，and lesson time spent on pronunciation may well be time-wasted.61. If people succeed in understanding the problem of ___________ they can speak foreign languages as well as their63. What are the three requirements for a language teacher according to the passage?64.The teacher should make his students feel that pronuciation is a matter ______65. What is the passage mainly about?_________________IV. Translation (20 points, 4 or each)Directions: In this part, there are five items which you are required to translate into Chinese. Each item consists of one or two sentences. These sentences are all taken from the reading passages you have just read.

A dinner party is often a pleasurable time for everyone but the host, so the important point to keep in mind is that “planning” is a key part of a successful dinner party.67.

He will be entirely responsible for her financial support,and she for the running of the new home.69. The disappointment we feel when good work is not recognized gives rise to the feeling “why should I bother if nobody notices?”70. Have a positive attitude to the things he does and remember the praisemust always be genuine. Your child will quickly sense when you are lying.V.

For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice, and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage 1Researchers have found that REM (rapid eye movement) sleep is important to human beings. This type of sleep generally occurs four or five times during one night of sleep, lasting five minutes to forty minutes for each occurrence. The deeper a person’s sleep becomes, the longer the periods of rapid eye movement.There are physical changes in the body to show that a person has changed from NREM(non-rapid eye movement) to REM sleep. Breathing becomes faster, the heart rate increases, and, as the name implies, the eyes begin to move quickly.Accompanying these physical changes in the body is a very important characteristic of REM sleep. It is during REM sleep that a person dreams.61. According to the passage, how often does REM sleep occur in one night？A. OnceB. Twice.C. Four or five times.D. Forty times62. The word “deeper”in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to which of t he following？A. Heavier.B. Louder.C. StrongerD. Happier.63. Which of the following shows that a person is NOT dreaming in his sleep？A. His eyes begin to move.B. His breathing becomes faster.C. His heart rate increases.D. His eyes stop moving.64. The subject of this passage is ______ .A. why people sleepB. the human need for REM sleepC. the characteristics of REM sleepD. physical changes in the human body65. Which of the following is the best title of the article?A. REM SleepB. Two Types of SleepC. SleepersD. What Happens to SleepersPassage 2Foxes and farmers have never got on well. These small dog like animals have long been accused of killing farm animals. They are officially classified as harmful and farmers try to keep their numbers down by shooting or poisoning them.Farmers can also call on the services of their local hunt to control the fox population. Hunting consists of pursuing a fox across the countryside, with a group of specially trained dogs, followed by men and women riding horses. When the dogs eventually catch the fox they kill it or a hunter shoots it.People who take part in hunting think of it as a sport; they wear a special uniform of red coats and white trousers, and follow strict codes of behavior. But owning a horse and hunting regularly is expensive, so most hunters are wealthy.It is estimated that up to 100,000 people watch or take part in fox hunting. But over the last couple of decades the number of people opposed to fox hunting, because they think it is brutal (残酷的), has risen sharply. Nowadays it is rare for a hunt to pass off without some kind of confrontation (冲突) between hunters and hunt saboteurs (阻拦者). Sometimes these incidents lead to violence, but mostly saboteurs interfere with the hunt by misleading riders and disturbing the trail of the fox’s smell, which the dogs follow.Noisy confrontations between hunters and saboteurs have become so common that they are almost as much a part of hunting as the pursuit of foxes itself. But this year supporters of fox hunting face a much bigger threat to their sport. A Labour Party Member of the Parliament, Mike Foster, is trying to get Parliament to approve a new law which will make the hunting of wild animals with dogs illegal. If the law is passed, wild animals like foxes will be protected under the ban in Britain.66. Rich people in Britain have been hunting foxes ______ .A. for recreationB. to limit the fox populationC. in the interests of the farmersD. to show off their wealth67. What is special about fox hunting in Britain?A. It involves the use of a deadly poison.B. It is a costly event which rarely occurs.C. The hunters have set rules to follow.D. The hunters have to go through strict training.68. Fox hunting opponents often interfere in the game ______ .A. by resorting to violenceB. by confusing the fox huntersC. by taking legal actionD. by demonstrating on the scene69. A new law may be passed by the British Parliament to ______ .A. prohibit farmers from hunting foxesB. forbid hunting foxes with dogsC. stop hunting wild animals in the countrysideD. prevent large scale fox hunting70. It can be inferred from the passage that ______ .A. killing foxes with poison is illegalB. limiting the fox population is unnecessaryC. hunting foxes with dogs is considered cruel and violentD. Fox hunting often leads to confrontation between the poor and the richPassage 3If you listen to American music, watch American television or magazines, you will probably agree that the most popular subject of these forms of entertainment is love. Romantic love always finds an audience in the United States. Falling in love, solving the problems of love, and achievingthe happy ending—the big wedding are subjects of interest to the adult as well as the teenage public. Millions of Americans celebrates Valentine’s Day with special cards and gifts that announces their love to their mates, their friends, their coworkers and their families. Popular songs tell us that “all the world loves a lover”. A popular saying is “Love conquers all”. Numerous columns in magazines and newspapers offer advice to the lovelorn, those with difficulties of the heart. To most Americans, romantic love is essential to a happy life.Not only do Americans believe in romantic love but they also believe that it is the best basis for marriage. Despite the high divorce rate in the United States, young men and women continue to marry on the basis of romantic love.Americans consider marriage to private arrangement between the two people involved. Young Americans feel free to choose their own marriage partners from any social ,economic, or religious background. The man or woman may have strong ties with parents, brothers, or sisters, but when he or she falls in love, the strongest feelings are supposed to be for the loved one. When an American couple marries, they generally plan to live apart from both sets of parents and build their own independent family structure.71. What is the most popular subject of all forms of entertainment?A. MarriageB. LoveC. FamilyD. Friendship72. Who is interested in the subject of love?A. Adults who are single.B. Teenagers whose parents are divorced.C. Old people who have no children.D. Both adults and teenagers.73. What do most Americans think of romantic love?A. It is central to a happy life.B. It is not the basis for marriage.C. It is not necessarily important in a person’s life.D. Many people long for it, but it is unbelievable.74.

They won’t choose a marriage partner from different religious background.D. They don’t think social , econ omical or religious background is important.75. What does an American couple plan to do when they marry?A. They continue to live with their parents after their marriage.B. They plan to live by themselves.C. They plan to earn more money to buy a house.D. They plan to travel all over the world.Passage 4In 1939 two brothers，Mac and Dick McDonald, started a drive in restaurant in San Bernardino, California. They carefully chose a busy corner for their location. They had run their own businesses for years，first a theater，then a barbecue（烤肉）restaurant, then another drive in. But in their new operation，they offered a new，shortened menu: French fries，hamburgers，and sodas. To this small selection they added one new concept: quick service，no waiters or waitresses，and no tips.Their hamburgers sold for fifteen cents. Cheese was another four cents. Their French fries and hamburgers had a remarkable uniformity(一致性)，for the brothers had developed a strict routine for the preparation of their food，and they insisted on their cooks’ sticking to their routine. Their new drive in became incredibly popular，particularly for lunch. People drove up by the hundreds during the busy noontime. The self service restaurant was so popular that the brothers had allowed ten copies of their restaurant to be opened. They were content with this modest success until they met Ray Kroc.Kroc was a salesman who met the McDonald brothers in 1954，when he was selling milkshake mixing machines. He quickly saw the unique appeal of the brothers’ fast food restaurants and bought the right to franchise（特许经营）other copies of their restaurants. The agreement included the right to duplicate the menu, the equipment，even their red and white buildings with the golden arches（拱门）.Today M cDonald’s is really a household name. Its names for its sandwiches have come to mean hamburger in the decades since the day Ray Kroc watched people rush up to order fifteencent hamburgers. In 1976，McDonald’s had over $ 1 billion in total sales. Its first twenty two years is one of the most incredible success stories in modern American business history.76. This passage mainly talks about ______.A. the development of fast food servicesB. how McDonald’s became a billion dollar businessC. the business careers of Mac and Dick McDonaldD. Ray Kroc’s business talent77. Mac and Dick managed all of the following businesses except_______ .A. a drive inB. a cinemaC. a theaterD. a barbecue restaurant78. We may infer from this passage that ______.A. Mac and Dick McDonald never became wealthy for they sold their idea to Kroc.B. The location the McDonalds chose was the only source of the great popularity of theirdrive in.C. Forty years ago there were numerous fast food restaurants.D. Ray Kroc was a good businessman.79. The passage suggests that ______ .A. Creativity is an important element of business success.B. Ray Kroc was the close partner of the McDonald brothers.C. Mac and Dick McDonald became broken after they sold their ideas to Ray Kroc.D. California is the best place to go into business.80. As used in the second sentence of the third paragraph，the word “unique” means ______ .A. SpecialB. financialC. AttractiveD. peculiarPart Ⅳ Translation (1.5×10 points)Directions：There are 10 sentences in this section.

Each passage is followed by some questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. You should choose the ONE best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a pencil.Questions 41 ~ 45 are based on the following passage:It is the duty of every man to work. The lazy man wastes his time, and his life is of no use to himself or to others. The man who is too lazy to work is the man who is generally most ready to beg or steal. Every one when he is young should learn some useful work.But it is not enough that one should learn some kind of work. He should work hard, and not waste his spare minutes or half hours. “Work while you work and play while you play” is as good a rule for young people as for the old.There is no better aid to diligence than the habit of early rising, and this, like all other good habits, is most easily formed in youth.There is an English saying “Lost time never returns.” This means that everybody must be diligent, and must make a good use of his time. One must study hard when he isyoung, so that he may succeed in his life and become useful to his country.I have never heard that those who are diligent will become beggars, but I know that lazy fellows will become beggars. Therefore, I should say that diligence is the mother of success.41. The best title of the passage could be “_____”A. Learn to workB. diligenceC. Early Rising Is a Good HabitD.

From the passage, we can guess that the author of the passage is ____.A. a lazy manB. a beggarC. a diligent manD. a writerQuestions 46~50 are based on the following passage:Some of the notebooks George Washington kept as a young man show what he was learning. He was learning Latin. He was very interested in the basics of good behavior in society and was reading English literature.At school he seems to have been interested in mathematics. In fact his formal education was surprisingly brief and incomplete. For unlike other young men of good families, he did not go to the College of William and Mary in the Virginian capital. In terms of formal training then, Washington was different from some other early American Presidents such as John Adams, Thomas Jefferson and James Madison. In later years, Washington probably regretted his lack of intellectual training. He never felt comfortable in a debate in Congress, or on any subject that had nothing to do with everyday practical matters. And because he never learned French and could not speak directly to the Frenchleaders, he did not visit the country he admired so much. Thus, unlike Jefferson and Adams, he never reached Europe.46. What reason does the author give for Washington not going to college?A.His family could not afford it.B. A college education was rather uncommon in his time.C.He didn’t like the young Virginian men of good famili es who went to college.D.The author doesn’t give any reason.47. Washington felt uncomfortable in Congress debates because he _____.cked practice in public speakingB.felt his education was not enoughC.didn’t like arguing and debating with peopleD.felt the others were being impractical48. The reason why Washington didn’t visit France was probably that he ____.A.didn’t really care about goingB.did not know the French leadersC.could not communicate directly with the French leadersD.was too busy to travel49. According to the author, ____.A.Washington’s lack of formal education placed him at a disadvantage in later lifeB.Washington should have gone to France even though he could not speak FrenchC.Washington was not as good a president as Adams, Jefferson or MadisonD.Washington was a model for all Virginian men of good families50. The main idea of the passage is that Washington’s education ____.A.was of great variety, covering many subjectsB.was probable equal to those of most young men of good families at that timeC.may seem poor by modern standards, but was good enough for his timeD.was rather limited for a presidentQuestions 51~55 are based on the following passage:The American definition of success is largely one of acquiring wealth and a high material standard of living. It is not surprising, therefore, that Americans have valued education for its monetary value. The belief is widespread in the United States that the more schooling people have, the more money they will earn when they leave school. The belief is strongest regarding the desirability of a undergraduate university degree, or a professional degree such as medicine or law following the undergraduate degree. The monetary value of graduate degree in “nonprofessional ” fields such as art, history, orphilosophy is not as great.The belief in the monetary value of education is supported by statistics on income. Ben Wattenberg, a social scientist, estimated that in the course of a lifetime a man with a college degree in 1972 would earn about $380 000 more than a man with just a high school diploma. Perhaps this helps to explain survey findings which showed that the Americans who wished they had lived their lives differently on some way regretted most of all that they did not get more education.51. What most Americans like most about higher education is ____.A. its cultural valueB. its monetary valueC. its moral valueD. its material value52.

You should choose the oneanswer that best fits into the passage. Then blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a pencil.About 485 years ago, a man stood alone on the coast of Spain. He looked toward the west and said to himself, “The earth cannot be flat. If I sail westward, 56 I shall hit land, India perhaps, and the queen will have a new and shorter 57 to the riches of that country.”Christopher Columbus told his idea to Queen Isabella of Spain. She give 58 three men. And Columbus sailed westward for many weeks, through 59 seas.60, he saw land: a group of islands now called the West Indians. Columbus was sure it was India, and he called the natives “Indos”.Stories of what Columbus found quickly 61 across Europe. His word “Indos” became “Indians” to the English. 62 all the natives of the West Indias and Central America became known as “Indians”.Christopher Columbus 63 four trips to the New World. Yet, he died in Spain without knowing where he had been. He died 64 he had sailed to India.It was soon learned that Columbus had made a mistake. 65 the word “Indian” was well established in Europe.The first 66 who arrived in North Carolina and Birginia in the early 1600’s called the natives Indians. This name spread north 67 the colonies of Maryland, New York, Pennsylvania and New England were settled.Today the word is used to 68 the descendants of the first peoples of North and South America. In the far north they are called Eakimos. And in the far south 69 are the Patagonians and the Fuegians.Students and scholars have long known 70 the American Indians were not really Indians 71 . And one scholar proposed a name that he believed would be better—Amerinds. He made up this name by 72 American and Indian. This word is often used today by other scholars, but the general 73 has heard little of it.Word experts say the name Indian may be wrong but we are stuck with it. It is too late to change it to Amerind. Most people would not 74 the change. Besides, how could a movie of the old west be exciting if it concerned cowboys and Amerinds, 75 cowboys and Indians?56.

After reading the passage carefully, you should translate the underlined parts into Chinese.(76) The invention of electronic computers makes it possible to free man from the labour of complicated measurement and computation.A high speed electronic computer can carry out up to one hundred million arithmetical operations in one second. A computation which would have taken years of human work in the past is now done in a few seconds. (77) A number of various complicated problems which could not be solved before have been solved with the help of computers.Accurate measurement and exact computation are the bases of modern engineering and scientific research. Every engineering worker must determine accurately the amount of any change that the material to be used undergoes in different conditions.And every science worker will have to make numerous accurate computations before he can say that the results of his experiment are correct. (78) Yet there exist complex computations in science and engineering which science workers are unable to make because they are too long and too complicate. Here is an example which can illustratehow much time some of them may take. In order to solve a complicated chemical problem a chemistry worker must make about four million operations. (79) It would take him years to work the problem out, while electronic computing machine would do the same job only in a few second.We may divide electronic computers into two groups: machines that can control and those that can count. The former is used in satellites, guided missiles, weather-forecasting instruments and other devices, both simple and sophisticated. And the later can add, subtract, multiply and divide. (80) Such machines are to do any operation which we can reduce to arithmetic. Besides, they are able to combine many problems and take them in any order.V.
