Passage One For generations, the Nganyi people of western Kenya have served as rainmakers, helping local communities decide when best to prepare their land and sow their seeds. By observing subtle changes in nature that would be unnoticeable to most people-in air currents, the flowering and shedding of leaves of certain trees, the behaviour of ants, bird songs, etc-they have been able to interpret weather patterns and provide valuable advice. But the irregular weather patterns brought by climate change mean the rainmakers can no longer use those sighs to make their predictions. And they don’t have access to the technologies available to meteorologists (⽓象学家). “Climate change has come on so fast. People don’t know how to adapt or what to plant,”says Obedi Osoce, a traditional weatherman. “Our traditional crops are disappearing because they cannot handle the new conditions. We need new strategies to handle climate change.” Now a British-Canadian project si doing just that, linking the rainmakers with government meteorologists. The two groups get together each season and produce an agreed forecast to be spread using a variety of methods suited to communities where many cannot read or write-through ceremonies, public meetings and person-to person comma-kation. Both parties are pleased with the collaboration. “ I think the two sciences equally valid. We are marrying our energies to help people better,” says Mr. Onunga, a Nganyi community elder involved in the project. ‘The results have been surprisingly good-the community agreed that the forecast was accurate,” says Gilbert Ouma, a lecturer at the University of Nairobi. “Through this project we hope to learn what it is that we can share together to live today and to adapt to tomorrow,”says Professor Laban Ogallo, leader of the Nganyi project. 36. Which of the following has been used by traditional Nganyi rainmakers in weather prediction?A.Plant seedsB.Dog harksC.Bird songsD.Ocean currents 37. What difficulty do local rainmakers face in making weather predictions? A. They cannot find an effective way to deliver messages. B. They lack modern technologies to cope with climate change. C. They cannot get financial support from the local government. D. They lack the facilities to stop traditional crops from disappearing. 38. How do people involved in the British-Canadian project feel about their cooperation?A. SatisfiedB.ConfusedC. HopefulD.Regretful 39. Which statement best expresses the main idea of the passage? A. A British-Canadian project has been carried out to solve farming problems. B. The Nganyi people have made weather forecasts by observing changes in nature. C. New technologies have replaced traditional methods in weather prediction in Kenya. D. Scientists and Kenyan rainmakers work together in a joint weather prediction project. Passage Two After taking a six-week, fully paid maternity leave (产假) earlier this year, Francine Gemperle was anxious to resume her job but reluctant to be away from her baby daughter, Veronika. Fortunately, she did’t have to choose between them. Maya Design, a Pittsburgh based creative consulting firm, allows parents to bring newborns into the office. “If I’d had to leave my children after my maternity leave ended, I would never have goes back to work,” says Gemperle, a designer and researcher, who brought her son Milo into the office after he was born. She’s not the only parent taking advantage of the benefit. Senior analyst Jon West brings his 10-mouth-old son, Owen, to the several times a month. In fact, when West considered using only part of his paternity leave, his co-workers urged him to take all six weeks. “I had pressure to take that leave,” recalls West, “People told me, it’s an important part of your life and you need to experience it.” “No matter how quiet the baby is, it’s an obvious distraction (分⼼的事),”says Tory Johnson, the chief executive of Women for Hire, a New York City-based recruiting film. No one has complained yet. Even if somebody did, it wouldn’t matter to Mickey McManus, Maya’s CEO and president, who argues that the policy builds loyalty and helps parents shift back into work mode. As part of its balancing act, Maya shares up to 20% of quarterly profits with its employees. However, the size of those checks might be up in the air at the moment. The firm once laid off five workers and it is now considering 4-day weeks to avoid more layoffs. 40. Which of the following is true about Maya Design? A. It hires women with families. B. It has some overseas branches. C. It provide consulting services. D. It encourages the staff to work at home. 41. What is Tory Johnson’s responsibility according to the passage?A. Taking on women employees.B. Dealing with women’s complaintsC. Dismissing unqualified women staffD. Taking care of women staff welfare 42. What is the advantage of Maya’s policy according to Mickey McManus?A. It cuts down the management cost.B. It increases staff loyalty to the filmC. It keeps a balance between work and life.D. It promotes equality un employment. 43. Which of these would be the best title for the passage? A. A Flexible Working Schedule B. A staff shortage in Maya Design C. A Pittsburgh-based Working Place D. A Company Taking Care of Young Parents Passage Three Harry Potter fans will instantly recognize the snowy owl as Harry’s famous companies, Hedwig, but these beautiful owls are easily recognizable not for their magical associations, but for their large size and striking while feathers. Snowy owls are, in fact, the only white owl, and they are a highly sought after species for many birdwatchers to add to their life lists. Foods: Small mammals, birds, fish. Habitat and Migration: Snowy owls are found in far northern latitudes including tundra, a vast treeless frozen region in the Arctic. Their breeding grounds (繁殖地) are in the Arctic tundra, and they migrate south throughout Canada during the winter. In exceptionally server winters or when food supplies are searce, these owls can appear much further south than their normal range. While principally a North American bird, they can also migrate to the northern areas of Europe an Asia. Behaviour: Snowy owls, like all owls, are powerful animal bunters that are active mostly at night but can bunt and feed during the day, especially when food supplies are low. These owls will rest on the ground or on rocks, stumps and other low favorable points. Males can be fierce when defending the nest, and both g e n d e r s w i l l a l s o p e r f o r m a n i n j u r e d b i r d a c t t o t e m p t a n i m a l i n v a d e r s t o g o a w a y f r o m t h e n e s t . / p > p > 0 0 R e p r o d u c t i o n : S n o w y o w l s m a y i n c u b a t e ( u[ uS ) 3 - 1 0 e g g s f o r 3 0 - 3 4 d a y s , o r t h e i n c u b a t i o n m a y b e d o n e p r i m a r i l y b y t h e f r e a k .

I have been a boarder(寄宿生) with the Carsons for more than a year and a half.The Carsons live in their own house, which has four bedrooms including the one in the basement(底层) which I live in. Judy does all the work in the house and Andrew is responsible for the work in the garden. When they go out in they evening, they often ask me to look after their children.Judy's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Morris, lived in another city. Judy was their only child and naturally they doted on(溺爱) Judy's children. They often sent the children presents.Last April Mr. Morris died. Now that Mrs. Morris was quite alone, I expected that Judy would want her to come and live with them. One day, Margaret told me grandma was coming to live with them and her daddy and mummy would want my room back. The news didn't surprise me and the next day I went to Judy and asked her about it. I said I couldn't think of living in their basement room any longer if it was needed for Mrs. Morris. Judy seemed surprised at first. Then she told me there was no deed for me to move, for they hadn't yet come to any decision about her mother coming to live with them. "Naturally I'm worried about my mother. She has been in poor health." She smiled sadly and added. "To be honest, Andrew and my mother have never got on well. We'll wait a bit and see what happens. Perhaps Moter will be all right living herself, of perhaps they will both change their minds."That was six months ago. During this time I've heard that Mrs. Morris has had two illnesses and that her health has got worse. A nursing home was mentioned once but Mrs. Morris refused to go there. So up to now she's still living alone and I'm still living in the basement room.61. What is the relationship between the speaker and the Carsons?A. He is a brother of Andrew Carson.B. He is a close friend of the Carsons.C. He is a student of Judy Carson.D. He is a student who pays to live and have meals at the Carsons' house.62. Why did the speaker expect Mrs. Morris to come to live with her daughter?A. Because Mr. Morris was dead.B. Because Mrs. Morris suffered from illness.C. Because Mrs. Morris lived all by herself.D. Because of all the reasons mentioned in A, B and C.63. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A. Mrs. Morris was coming to live with the Carsons, so they asked the speaker to move.B. Judy had no brothers or sisters to look after her mother.C. Mrs. Morris loved her grandchildren very much.D. The Carsons once suggested that Mrs. Morris go to live in a nursing home.64. Why didn't Mrs. Morris come to live with her daughter's family?A. Because the speaker lived in the basement room and there was no other room for her to live in.B. Because she did not have a good relationship with her son-in-law.C. Because she was in rather poor health and could not come.D. Because she did not want to leave her own house.65. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. My Landlady.B. The Boarder.C. Family Relationships is Canada.D. Nursing Homes and the Aged.Passage TwoOverhead bridges are found in many parts of Beijing, especially in places where traffic is very heavy and crossing th e road is dangerous.The purpose of these bridges is to enable pedestrians (行人) to cross roads safely. Overhead bridges are used to very much the same way as zebra crossings. They are more efficient (效率高的) although less convenient because people hav e to climb up a long flight of steps. This is inconvenient especially to older people. When pedestrains use an overhead br idge, they do not hold up traffic. However, when they cross a busy road using a zebra crossing, traffic is held up. This i s why the government has built many overhead bridges to help pedestrians and to keep traffic moving at the same time.The government of Beijing has spent a large amount of money on building these bridges. For their own safety, pedes trians should be encouraged to use them instead of risking (冒…危险) their lives by dashing across the road. Old people , however , may find it a little difficult climbing up and down the steps, but it is still much safer than walking across th e road with all the danger of moving traffic.Overhead bridges serve a very useful purpose. Pedestrians, both old and young, should make it a habit to use them. T his will prevent unnecessary accidents and loss of life.66.

But now, things are different. Today a gentleman will probably look out of the window or if he feels a bit shy, hide behind his newspaper. Either way, the lady will have to stand until someone else gets off.You can't entirely blame men for this change in manners, though. Gone are the days when women could be referred to as weakers without causing trouble. A whole generation of women has grown up demanding equality with men, not just equality in jobs or education, but in social life. Hold a door open for some women and you are likely to get an angry lecture on treating women as weakers unable to open doors for themselves. Take a girl out for meal and she'll probably insist on paying her share of the bill. On second thoughts, that is perhaps not a bad idea.It's no wonder then, that men have given up some ways of politeness and consideration which they used to show towards women. On the other hand, the man's active politeness is perhaps slowly being replaced by true consideration for the needs and feelings of women, so that men can see women as equal human beings, rather than as weakers or something that can be used to please men.71. Today, when a lady gets on a crowed bus or train, a gentleman would probaby . .A. stand up and offer her his seatB. read his newspaperC. look out of the windowD. not stand up and offer her his seat72. What men do towards women on a crowded bus or train today is . .A. really badB. strange enoughC. not entirely wrongD. entirely wrong73. The new generation of women wants to be . .A. treated not as the weaker sexB. Terated as the weaker sexC. cared for on buses and trainsD. better treated than before74. According to the passage, which of the following is not correct?A. Some women may get angry if you open the door for them.B. Girls don’t want you to pay for meal at allC. Some women may criticize you if you show too much politeness to themD. A girl may be unangry if you insist on paying her share of the bill.75. From the passage, we know that . .A. women need true consideration of their needs and feelingsB. men have given up some politeness they used to show to womenC. women often get angry of you’re polite to themD.women should stand in the bus or trainPassage Four“ Family” is of course an elastic 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 starting one´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 b rothers or sisters, aunts or uncles, have any right to interfere with them—they are their own masters.Readers of novels like Jane Austen´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 to 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 of getting rid of her could be seen in their giving the newly married pair a sum of money called a dowry. 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.76. What does the author mean by “Family is of course an elastic word”?A.Different families have different ways of life.B. Different definitions could be given to the word.C. Different nations have different families.D.Different times produce different families.77. For an English family, the husband´s duty is ____.A. supporting the family while the wife is financialB. defending the family while the wife is running the homeC. financial while the wife is running the homeD. independent while the wife is dependent78. Everything is decided in a family ____.A.by the coupleB. with the help of their parentsC. by brothers and sistersD. with the help of aunts and uncles79. 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.80.With regard to marriage in Britain, present-day girls differ from former time girls in ____.A. the right marryB. more parental supportC. choosing husbandsD. social positionPart IV.

江苏省2012 年普通高校专转本统一英语考试第一卷(共100 分)Part I Reading Comprehension(共20 题,每题2 分,共40 分)Passage OneQuestions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.American researchers have developed a technique that may become an important tool in fighting AIDS. The technique stops the AIDS virus from attacking its target-cells in the body's defense system. When AIDS virus enters the blood, it searches for blood cells called T4 lymphocytes (淋巴细胞). The virus connects to the outside of T4 lymphocytes, then forces its way inside. There it directs the cells' genetic (基因的)material to produce copies of the AIDS virus. This is how AIDS spreads.Researchers think they may be able to stop AIDS from spreading by preventing virus from connecting to T4 cells. When AIDS virus finds a T4 cell, it actually connects to a part of the cell called CD4 protein.Researchers want to fool the virus by putting copies or clones of the CD4 protein into the blood. This way the AIDS virus will connect to the cloned protein instead of the real ones. Scientists use the genetic engineering methods to make the clones. Normally a CD4 protein remains on the T4 cell at all times. The AIDS virus must go to it.In a new technique, however, the cloned CD4 protein is not connected to a cell. It floats freely, so many more can be put into the blood to keep the AIDS virus away from real CD4 proteins on T4 cells. One report says the AIDS virus connects to the cloned proteins j ust as effectively as to real protein. That report was based on tests with blood cells grown in labs. The technique is just now beginning t o be tested in animals. If successful, it may be tested in humans within a year.1. The new technique can ________.A. cure AIDSB. kill the AIDS virusC. prevent the AIDS virus from spreadingD. produce new medicines for AIDS2. When the AIDS virus enters the blood, it is reproduced by ________.A. the inside of the virus itselfB. any blood cells in the bodyC. the CD4 proteinD. the genetic material of T4 cells3 The AIDS virus connects to cloned proteins instead of to the real ones because ________.A. the cloned proteins stay on the T4 cellsB. the cloned proteins can float freely in the bloodC. it connects to cloned proteins more effectively than to the real onesD. the cloned proteins are made by genetic engineering methods4. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. The new technique has been tested in labs.B. The new technique is being tested in animals.C. The new technique may be tested in humans.D. The new technique is now under clinical test.5 Which of the following could be the best title of this passage?A. AIDS---a Fatal Disease.B. A New Technique in fighting AIDS.C. A Report on the Spread of AIDS Virus.D. The Technique of Cloned CD4 Protein.Passage TWOQuestions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage.During the early ears of last century, wheat was seen as the very lifeblood of Western Canada.When the crops were good, the economy was good; when the crops failed, there was depression. People on city streets watched the yields and the price of wheat with almost as much feeling as if they wee growers. The marketing of wheat became an increasingly favorite topic of conversation. War set the stage for the most dramatic events in marketing the western crop. For years, farmers mistrusted speculative(投机的)grain selling as carried on through the Winnipeg Grain Exchange. Wheat prices were generally low in the autumn, but farmers could not wait for markets to improve. It had happened too often that they sold their wheat soon after harvest when farm debts were coming due(到期),only to see prices rising and speculators getting rich. On various occasions, producer groups asked for firmer controls, but governments had no wish to become involved, at least not until wartime wheat prices threatened to run wild.Anxious to check(控制) inflation(通货膨胀) and rising living costs, the federal government appointed a board(董事会) of grain supervisors to handle deliveries from the crops of 1917 and 1918. Grain Exchange trading was suspended (暂停) and farmers sold at prices fixed by the board. To handle the crop of 1919, the government appointed the first Canadian Wheat Board, with full authority to buy, sell, and set prices.6. The author uses the term “lifeblood”(Line1, para1.) to indicate that wheat was _______.A. difficult to produce in large quantitiesB. was easily affected by animals and plantsC. essential to the health of the countryD. expensive to gather and transport7. According to the passage, most farmers’ debts had to be paid __________. A.when the autumn harvest had just been completedB. because wheat prices were highC. as soon as the Winnipeg Grain Exchange demanded payment D, when crop failure caused depression8. According to the passage, wheat prices became uncontrolled because of conditions caused by _____.A. farmersB. supervisorsC. weatherD. war9. The word “check” (Line 1, Para.3) could best be replaced by which of the following?A. controlB. investigateC. financeD. reinforce10. According to the passage, a preliminary step in the creation of the Canadian Wheat Board was the appointment of ______.A. the Winnipeg Grain ExchangeB. a board of supervisorsC. several producer groupsD. a new governmentPassage ThreeQuestions 10 to 15 are based on the following passage.Yellowstone Park is visited by two million people every summer and is the oldest, largest and most visited wilderness in the world. All are welcome and are invited on arrival to leave their cars and explore on foot. Yellowstone, a national park for ever 100 years, lies in the State of Wyoming, to the east of the Rocky Mountain. It is also in the center of the North American continent, midway between the equator and the North Pole, at a height of over 2300 meters. The very cold winter in this area closes the park around mid-November and lasts until April or even May. In February thetemperature falls as low as 60F degree below freezing, and the animals that spend winter in the park are best able to live in the conditions such as bison, wapiti, beavers and otters. Fortunately, the area around the hot springs and geysers becomes a centrally heated oasis(绿洲) in the desert ofsnow, providing warmth and a certain mount of food for the animals. Bison used to go around the plains in their millions until they were hunted almost to extinction(灭绝) by white men with guns. In 1900 only two dozen of them remained in the park. However, since they become a protected animal, their numbers have risen to over two thousand. The end of winter is the most dangerous time for the animals as food becomes even less and they take great risks(冒险) to find it, such as walking across thin ice. This period is known as “winterkill”, when many of the weak and the old die, often from being too tired out, thus providing food for scavengers such as the coyote (a kind of wolf). With the arrival of summer, plants reappear and the animals fill themselves with rich food. The young grow strong and the tourists return to enjoy the warmth or 4 months before Yellowstone Park freezes over again.11 Bison used to go in danger. With the protection, the number is ________ now.A. falling downB. going upC. staying the sameD. becoming less12The Rocky Mountains are _____________A. in the center of WyomingB. to the west of Yellowstone ParkC. in the north of Yellowstone ParkD. to the east of Yellowstone Park13Which of the following is NOT an animal?A. otterB. beaverC. geysersD. coyote14.At the end of the 19th century_______________.A. bison ran around the plains in their millionsB. bison were hunted almost to extinctionC. bison became a kind of protected animalD. their number rose more than 20015.From the text, we can know that “ scavengers in the last paragraph are_______________A. animals which feed on other dead animalsB. places where water comes naturally from the groundC. birds which live in grass seedsD. animals which always eat as much as possiblePassage FourQuestions 15 to 20 are based on the following passage.What is your favorite color? Do you like yellow, orange, red? If you do, you must be an optimist(乐观者), a leader, an active person who enjoy life, people and excitement. Do you prefer grays and blues? Then you are probably quiet, shy and you would rather follow than lead. If you love green, you are strong-minded and determined. You wish to succeed and want other people to see you are successful. At least this is what psychologist(心理学家) tell us and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of color preference, and the effect that colors have on human beings. They tell us that we don’t choose our favourite color as we grow up. If you happen to love brown, you did so as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly. A yellow room makes us feel more cheerful and more comfortable than a dark green one, and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day. On the other hand, black is depressing(压抑). Light and bright colors make people not only happier but more active. It is a fact that factory workers work better, harder and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or dark gray. Remember, then, that if you feel low, you can always brighten your day or your life with a new shirt or a few colorful things. Remember also that you will know your friends and your enemies better when you find out what colors theylike and dislike. And don’t forget that anyone can guess a lot about your character when you choose a piece of handkerchief or a lampshade.16. From this passage we learn that an active person would prefer those colors________.A. red, green and yellowB. gray, blue or darkC. orange, yellow or redD. yellow, orange or red17 bright colored room can _______ one’s mood.A. depressB. brightC. happyD. cheer up18Knowing the color preference can help one ____________ in their social life.A. understand the other people moreB. affect other people moreC. cheer up other people moreD. study better19In a factory, in order to reduce accidents or make the workers morehappily, it is better to have the machines painted________.A. redB. whiteC. grayD. orange20.The main idea of this passage is_________.A. one’s color preference shows one’s characterB you can brighten your life with wonderful colorsC. psychologists have been studying the meaning of color preferenceD. one’s color preference has something to do with his character and colors have effects on human beingsPart II Vocabulary and Structure (共40 小题,每小题1 分,共40 分) Directions; In this part there are forty incomplete sentences.

The fact that a child picks up a language 64 is surprising: at one year old, a child is able to 65 "bye-bye"; at two, he is able to use fifty words; by three he begins to 66 tenses. The famous American linguist Noam Chomsky 67 that human beings have a sort of built-in system for language use, and that the 68 is only secondary. Children are not taught language 69 they are taught arithmetic. Other linguists, 70, hold the view that a child learns 71 of his language from the hints in the environment. 72, theorists of both schools 73 that there is a biological basis for language and language use. The 74 is which is more important, the inner ability or the environment. This is certainly a field 75 to be explored. Researchers from both schools are busy finding evidence to 76their own theory, but 77 side is persuading the other. It seems that in order to 78why a child learns a language so easily, we have to 79 the joint efforts of both schools. Some linguists, like De Villiers, have recognized the value of cooperation, and 80 linguists of both sides to work together.61. A. Surprisingly B. Personally C. Properly D. Roughly62.

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choice marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.Passage OneStrange things happen to time when you travel, because the earth is divided into twenty four time zones, one hour apart. You can have days with more than twenty-four hours, and weeks with more or fewer than seven days.If you make a five-day trip across the Atlantic ocean, your ship enters a different time zone every day. As you enter each zone, the time changes one hour. Traveling west, you set your clock back; traveling east, you set it ahead. Each day of your trip has either twenty-five of twenty-three hours. If you travel by ship across the Pacific, you cross the international date line. By agreement, this is the point where a new day begins. When you cross the line, you change your calendar one full day, backward or forward. Traveling east, today becomes yesterday, traveling west, it is tomorrow!新明医学400-004-880451. The difference in time between zones is _________ .A more than seven daysB twenty-four hoursC one hourD seven days52. From this selection, it seems true that the Atlantic Ocean ______.A is in one time zoneB cannot be crossed in five daysC is divided into five time zonesD is divided into twenty-four zones53.

The International Date Line is the name for _______.A any time zone in the Pacific OceanB any point where time changes by one hourC the point where a new day beginsD the beginning of any new time zonePassage TwoMost people have had a dog or wanted one as their companion at some time in their lives. If you are thinking of buying a dog, however, you should first decide what sort of companion you need and whether the dog is likely to be happy in the surroundings you can provide. Specialist advice is available to help you choose the most suitable breed of dog. But in part, the decision depends on common sense. Different dogs were originally developed to perform specific tasks. So, if you want a dog to protect you or your house, for example, you should choose a breed that has the right size and characteristicsYou must also be ready to devote a good deal of time to train the dog when it is young and give it the exercise it needs throughout its life, unless live in the country and can let it run freely. Dogs are demanding pets. Cats love the house and so are satisfactory with their place which is secure, but a dog is loyal to its master and consequently wants him to show proof of his affection.新明教育400-004-8804The best time to buy a baby dog is when it is between 6 and 8 weeks old so that it can transfer its affection from its mother to its master. If baby dogs have not established a relationship with the human being until they are over three months old, their strongrelationship will always be with dogs. They are likely to be too shy when they are brought out into the world to become good pets.55. Which of the following is Not true according to the passage?A Size and characteristics of the dogs should be considered too.B It is common sense that is the most important when choosing a dog.C You should decide what kind of dog you want.D You can always get help from the specialists.56. What is mentioned as a consideration in buying a dog?A The price of the dog.B The color of the dog.C Whether the dog will fit the environment.D Whether the dog will get along with the other pets in the house.57. Why does the writer say a dog is a more demanding pet than a cat?A It must be looked after carefully.B It demands more food and space.C It needs more love and care.D It must be trained so that it won’t bite.58. Why is it advised to buy a baby dog under three months old?A It’s easier to buy a baby dog under thr ee months old.B They are less likely to run away.C They are less likely to be shy with human beings.D It’s easier for them to form a relationship with their masters.Passage ThreeStudents who want to attend an American college or university must explain how they will pay for their education. They have to show that they will be able to pay for each year of study.Students have to consider not only the tuition, the cost of classes, but also meals and a place to live, known as room-and-board. They also need money for books , supplies ,social activities and other things. 电话:188********Educational advisers say foreign students should keep enough money in a local bank to pay for at least two months of spending. So how much will it cost every year to study at an American school? Generally speaking, the answer is: a lot. The University of Washington says foreign students are paying more than thirty-six thousand dollars this year. Its website says the University of Washington does not offer financial assistance to international students.This is generally true of American schools, especially at the undergraduate level. It means foreign students are faced with a heavy financial burden.The international application for the university includes a Statement of Financial Responsibility that must be signed. Students must also provide a bank letter or statement from within the past six months. And they have to name anyone who will help with payments. These people must send proof from a bank to show that they have the money.The government or employer may be able to help you pay all or some college costs.A good idea is to ask at least eighteen months before you want to start classes in the United States.Enough timeshould be ensured to go through procedures. 59. Which statement is true according to the first paragraph? A Foreign students in America can hardly support themselves. B They should show that they are able to pay the first year of their study. C Room-and-board refers to the expense on meals and accommodation. D Students intending to attendan American college or university should explain who will pay for their education. 60. According to educational advisers, how many months of expense should be ensured by foreign students? A At least two months. B At least six months. C At least twelve months.D At least eighteen months. 61. What is Not included in the international application for the university? A A signed Statement of Financial Responsibility. B A name list of anyone who will offer help for payments. C A bank statement issued in the past six months. D Proofs from banks showing that the students have got the money. 62. American universities _________ to international students at the undergraduate level A sometimes offer partial financial assistance. B occasionally offer financial assistance. C generally do not offer financial assistance. D always offer financial assistance. Section B. Directions: 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 centre. 63 由于质量很好,价格也相对便宜,因此这种小汽车在这些地区深受欢迎。

2012江苏专转本英语真题及答案

2012江苏专转本英语真题及答案江苏省2012 年普通高校专转本统一英语考试第一卷(共100 分)Part I Reading Comprehension(共20 题,每题2 分,共40 分)Passage OneQuestions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.American researchers have developed a technique that may become an important tool in fighting AIDS. The technique stops the AIDS virus from attacking its target-cells in the body's defense system. When AIDS virus enters the blood, it searches for blood cells called T4 lymphocytes (淋巴细胞). The virus connects to the outside of T4 lymphocytes, then forces its way inside. There it directs the cells' genetic (基因的)material to produce copies of the AIDS virus. This is how AIDS spreads.Researchers think they may be able to stop AIDS from spreading by preventing virus from connecting to T4 cells. When AIDS virus finds a T4 cell, it actually connects to a part ofproduce new medicines for AIDS2. When the AIDS virus enters the blood, it is reproduced by ________.A. the inside of the virus itselfB. any blood cells in the bodyC. the CD4 proteinD. the genetic material of T4 cells3 The AIDS virus connects to cloned proteins instead of to the real ones because ________.A. t he cloned proteins stay on the T4 cellsB. the cloned proteins can float freely in the bloodC. i t connects to cloned proteins more effectively than to the real onesD. t he cloned proteins are made by genetic engineering methods4. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. The new technique has been tested in labs.B. The new technique is being tested in animals.C. The new technique may be tested in humans.D.

A Report on the Spread of AIDS Virus.D. The Technique of Cloned CD4 Protein.Passage TWOQuestions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage.During the early ears of last century, wheat was seen as the very lifeblood of Western Canada. When the crops were good, the economy was good; when the crops failed, there was depression. People on city streets watched the yields and the price of wheat with almost as much feeling as if they wee growers. The marketing of wheat became an increasingly favorite topic of conversation.War set the stage for the most dramatic events in marketing the western crop. For years, farmers mistrusted speculative(投机的)grain selling as carried on through the WinnipegGrain Exchange. Wheat prices were generally low in the autumn, but farmers could not wait for markets to improve. It had happened too often that they sold their wheat soon after harvest when farm debts were coming due(到期),only to see prices rising and speculators getting rich. On various occasions, producer groups asked for firmer controls, but governments had no wish to become involved, at least not until wartime wheat prices threatened to run wild.Anxious to check(控制) inflation(通货膨胀) and rising living costs, the federal government appointed a board(董事会) of grain supervisors to handle deliveries from the crops of 1917 and 1918. Grain Exchange trading was suspended (暂停) and farmers sold at prices fixed by the board. To handle the crop of 1919, the government appointed the first Canadian Wheat Board, with full authority to buy, sell, and set prices.6. T he author uses the term “lifeblood”(Line1, para1.) to indicate that wheat was _______.A. difficult to produce in large quantitiesB. was easily affected by animals and plantsC. essential to the health of the countryD. expensive to gather and transport7. According to the passage, most farmers’ debts had to be paid __________. A. when the autumn harvest had just been completedB. because wheat prices were highC. as soon as the Winnipeg Grain Exchange demanded payment D, when crop failure caused depression8. According to the passage, wheat prices became uncontrolled because of conditions caused by _____.A. farmersB. supervisorsC. weatherD. war9. The word “check” (Line 1, Para.3) could best be replaced by which of the following?A. controlB. investigateC. financeD. reinforce10. According to the passage, a preliminary step in the creation of the Canadian Wheat Boardwas the appointment of ______.A. the Winnipeg Grain ExchangeB. a board of supervisorsC. several producer groupsD. a new governmentPassage ThreeQuestions 10 to 15 are based on the following passage.Yellowstone Park is visited by two million people every summer and is the oldest, largest and most visited wilderness in the world. All are welcome and are invited on arrival to leave their cars and explore on foot. Yellowstone, a national park for ever 100 years, lies in the State of Wyoming, to the east of the Rocky Mountain. It is also in the center of the North American continent, midway between the equator and the North Pole, at a height of over 2300 meters. The very cold winter in this area closes the park around mid-November and lasts until April or even May. In February thetemperature falls as low as 60F degree belowfreezing, and the animals that spend winter in the park are best able to live in the conditions such as bison, wapiti, beavers and otters. Fortunately, the area around the hot springs and geysers becomes a centrally heated oasis(绿洲) in the desert of snow, providing warmth and a certain mount of food for the animals. Bison used to go around the plains in their millions until they were hunted almost to extinction(灭绝) by white men with guns. In 1900 only two dozen of them remained in the park. However, since they become a protected animal, their numbers have risen to over two thousand. The end of winter is the most dangerous time for the animals as food becomes even less and they take great risks(冒险) to find it, such as walking across thin ice. This period is known as “winterkill”, when many of the weak and the old die, often from being too tired out, thus providing food for scavengers such as the coyote (a kind of wolf). With the arrival of summer, plants reappear and the animals fill themselveswith rich food. The young grow strong and the tourists return to enjoy the warmth or 4 months before Yellowstone Park freezes over again.11 Bison used to go in danger. With the protection, the number is ________ now.A. falling downB. going upC. staying the sameD. becoming less12The Rocky Mountains are _____________ A. in the center of Wyoming B. to the west of Yellowstone ParkC. in the north of Yellowstone ParkD. to the east of Yellowstone Park13Which of the following is NOT an animal? A. otter B. beaver C. geysersD. coyote14.At the end of the 19th century_______________.A. bison ran around the plains in their millionsB. bison were hunted almost to extinctionC. bison became a kind of protected animalD. their number rose more than 20015.From the text, we can know that “ scavengers in the last paragraph are_______________A. a nimals which feed on other dead animalsB. places where water comes naturally from the groundC. b irds which live in grass seedsD. animals which always eat as much as possible Passage FourQuestions 15 to 20 are based on the following passage.What is your favorite color? Do you like yellow, orange, red? If you do, you must be an optimist(乐观者), a leader, an active person who enjoy life, people and excitement. Do you prefer grays and blues? Then you are probably quiet, shy and you would rather follow than lead. If you love green, you are strong-minded and determined. You wish to succeed and want other people to see you are successful. At least this is what psychologist(心理学家) tell us and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of color preference, andthe effect that colors have on human beings. They tell us that we don’t choose our favourite color as we grow up. If you happen to love brown, you did so as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly.A yellow room makes us feel more cheerful and more comfortable than a dark green one, and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day. On the other hand, black is depressing(压抑). Light and bright colors make people not only happier but more active. It is a fact that factory workers work better, harder and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or dark gray. Remember, then, that if you feel low, you can always brighten your day or your life with a new shirt or a few colorful things. Remember also that you will know your friends and your enemies better when you find out what colors they like and dislike. And don’t forget that anyone can guess a lot about your character when you choose a piece of handkerchief or alampshade.16. From this passage we learn that an active person would prefer those colors________.A. red, green and yellowB. gray, blue or darkC. orange, yellow or redD. yellow, orange or red17 bright colored room can _______ one’s mo od.A. depressB. brightC. happyD. cheer up18Knowing the color preference can help one ____________ in their social life.A. understand the other people moreB. affect other people moreC. cheer up other people moreD. study better 19In a factory, in order to reduce accidents or make the workers morehappily, it is better to have the machines painted________.A. redB. whiteC. grayD. orange20.The main idea of this passage is_________.A. one’s color preference shows one’s charac terB you can brighten your life with wonderful colorsC. p sychologists have been studying the meaning of color preferenceD. o ne’s color preference has something to do with his character and colors have effects on human beingsPart II Vocabulary and Structure (共40 小题,每小题1 分,共40 分) Directions; In this part there are forty incomplete sentences.

The fact that a child picks up a language 64 is surprising: at one year old, a child is able to 65 "bye-bye"; at two, he is able to use fifty words; by three he begins to66 tenses. The famous American linguist Noam Chomsky 67 that human beings have a sort of built-in system for language use, and that the 68 is only secondary. Children are not taught language 69 they are taught arithmetic. Other linguists, 70, hold the view that a child learns 71 of his language from the hints in the environment. 72, theorists of both schools 73 that there is a biological basis for language and language use. The 74 i s which is more important, the inner ability or the environment. This is certainly a field 75 to be explored. Researchers from both schools are busy finding evidence to 76 their own theory, but 77 side is persuading the other. It seems that in order to 78 why a child learns a language so easily, we have to 79 the joint efforts of both schools. Some linguists, like De Villiers, have recognized the value of cooperation, and 80 linguists of both sides to work together.61. A. Surprisingly B. Personally C. Properly D.Roughly62.

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 then mark your choice by blackening the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Questions 46-50 are based on the following passage:Colds are very common. The symptoms of the common cold include a sore throat, runny nose, stuffed-up nose(鼻塞), and tiredness. Colds are caused by viruses(病毒), but scientists cannot explain the exact cause. There is no cure. Many people, however, believe that they know the causes of and cures for the common cold. For example, they believe that it is possible to get a cold if we get chilled, if we get extra tired, or if we are too close to a person with a cold. In other words, if we want to prevent catching cold, we should stay warm and dry; we should avoid getting too tired, and we should not be in close contact with people who have colds.Meanwhile, there are probably hundreds of "cures" throughout the world for the common cold. For example, the following suggestions are popular in quite a number of societies: (l ) drink plenty of water; (2) get extra rest; (3) take a lot of vitamin C, (4) take aspirin; (5) keep warm.Each year people spend a lot of money on cold medicines -- pills, liquids, lozenges (含片).But these medicines do not cure colds they can only relieve cold symptoms. In other words, they make us feel better.46.

Which of the following is true about the common cold?A. Scientists are close to finding a cure for colds.B. There are hundreds of symptoms of the common cold.C. Many people know what causes the common cold.D. There are no medicines that can cure colds.Questions 51-55 are based on the following passage:being happy is just being fit with a new guide book saying you need to practice the skills needed to get this emotion,even during the darkest times.Road­testing Happiness:How to be Happier by Australian journalist and author Sophie Scott is a self­help book with a difference.“Being happy is something you need to focus on;it doesn’t come as a matter of course,” Scott said.“You always need to make an effort to be happy,even if you reach the point of saying you are contented,you still need to keep focusing and working on the things that made you happy.”Scott also said the book was born out of her interest in the human mind as well as how difficult she found it to cope after her mother died of cancer two years ago.“I was always interested in psychology,but a lot of happiness books don’t address the fact that you can be happy even if your life isn’t going according to plan. The key is managing expectations.” She says,“In the book,I focused on what were the things most likely to make people happy,the ones with the most scientific evidence.” People should think that being happy is yet another task you have to do and then feel guilty when you don’t do it. Scott says the road to a positive outlook begins with very easy,small steps.Women today feel overloaded(超负荷):they’ve got to be thin,got to have a career,got to have a perfect relationship so the last thing you need is to be thinking you’ve got to be happy all the time,” she said.“But it is important to improve your quality of life. Stop rushing around and filling each moment of the day with things to do,and then sit down and think about your life and how you’re feeling. The things I got out of this were not things that take a lot of effort:feeling more grateful for the things you’ve got;adjusting your reaction to situations and people. It’s about changing small habits,more tinkering around the edges instead of totally checking and changing your life.”51.By saying “being happy is just like being fit”,the author probably means________.A.people should practice how to remain happyB.people should spend more time working outC.keeping happy is the key to continuing our lifeD.it’s difficult for people to keep happy all the time52. Why the Scott unsatisfied the happiness book written by other writers?A. They are not based on psychological analysis.B. There is a lack of scientific facts in these books.C. He wants to show his books is the greatest one.D. They haven’t offered readers completed solutions.53.What should we do if we want to remain happy in Scott’s opinion?A.Do some scientific research into the skills of being happy.B.Work hard to achieve your expectations.C.Read more books about psychological activities.D.Think that being happy is a very important task to do.54. In the last paragraph, Scott suggest thatA.people should sit down and think of their childhood.B.people shouldn’t work so hard and be so overloaded.C.people should change their attitudes towards daily life.D.people should take their quality of life for granted.55.Which of the following can best reflect Scott’s opinion?A.Happiness lies in our contentment.B.Happiness originates from our success.C.A smile always makes a young man.D.Laughing can make a young man.Questions 56-60 are based on the following passage:For a long time women with HIV were ignored because the focus was totally on HIV men. The gay community was very much in sight and vocal (呼声高的) and successfully got support for its cause. Now we are rapidly approaching the point where about one half of all AIDS cases in the world are women. But no one is taking this dangerously high level of infection among women seriously enough.Women usually have a worse time dealing with HIV than men do. In most cases, the woman is talking care of children as well as her sick partner. She may not even have time to take care of herself. The HIV-positive woman ends up shouldering the family as well as her own personal problems. Men, however, are usually the ones who have insurance, income and access to doctors. They get care. Women often do not.The discrimination against HIV-positive women is simply terrible. They are likely to be more inactive than men in the home and workplace because too many people think that women are the cause of the disease. This is not at all true. They get it from men. They don’t just simply have HIV.Of course, there’s social discrimination against all people with HIV. People with HIV, then, are scared that other people will know they are HIV-positive and that they will, therefore, be discriminated against. For example, it’s very difficult for people with HIV to travel. They are not allowed to enter many countries, including the United States, China and Russia.The biggest difficulty an HIV-positive woman must face is isolation. Once a woman knows she’s HIV-positive, she lives in fear that other people will find out. She’s so frightened, she will go into hiding, into an isolated place by herself. It’s not at all uncommon to meet a woman who has been HIV-positive for nearly 10 years and has never told anyone, except her doctor. And the resulting stress is enough to make her sick. But HIV’ positive women who get support, who can discuss their trouble and then do something about it--whether that means taking better care of themselves or going to the United Nations to struggle for their rights--are likely to live longer. Active women don’t die out of shame in a comer. This happens to too many HIV-positive women.56. Women with HIV were ignored for a long time because _________A. they didn’t become infected with HIV very oftenB. they didn’t often ask people to support their causeC. the public focused on men who were HIV positiveD. the public thought women could take care of themselves57. Why do women have more trouble with HIV than men do?A. Women are infected more often than men.B. Women with AIDS cannot enter some countries.C. Women are not as vocal as men with HIV are.D. Women do not take care of themselves as well.58. Why are women with HIV discriminated against?A. They are not active at home and don’t work.B. Men don’t like women who are HIV positive.C. They are much weaker than men with HIV.D. People think they are the cause of the disease.59. The greatest difficulty that HIV-positive women face is ________A. lack of moneyB. pain of the diseaseC. unemploymentD. keeping to themselves60. What should a woman with AIDS keep from doing?A. Getting support from others with AIDS.B. Discussing their trouble with their doctors only.C. Struggling for their rights as people with AIDS.D. Making other people frightened of them.Section B short Answer Questions(15 points, 3 for each)Directions: Answer each of the following questions in less than 10 words. How to Talk to Anyone, Anytime, Anywhere.I never wanted to be anything but a broadcaster, a talker. And for 40 years, I’ve been doing justthat. To me, the ability to talk well is one of the great pleasures in life and can bring with it some of life’s greatest rewards.I’m not saying it’s always easy. But the more you work at it, the easier it will be. To get you started, here are my six basic rules for learning how to talk anyone, anytime, anywhere:Attitude CountsAfter that failure in Miami, I made a commitment to keep talking even when it might not be comfortable--in other words, to work at it. The right attitude--the will to talk--is decisive to becoming a better talker.I think one reason I’ve had a certain amount of success in broadcasting is that the audience can see I love what I’m doing. You can’t pretend that.Broaden Your Horizons The best conversationalists are able to talk about issues and experiences beyond their own daily lives. You can expand your world through travel, but you can also do it without leaving your own backyard. Talking with people who have backgrounds different from your own can help improve your conversational skills and your thinking.Keep It Light One of my important rules of conversation is never to stay too serious too long. Similarly, a key quality I look for in a potential guest is a sense of humor. If the guest is not afraid of making fun of himself/herself, it is most appealing to the audience.Be Genuine Anybody I’ve ever talked to for more than a few minutes knows at least two things about me: I’m from Brooklyn. New York, and I’m Jewish. That’s because I’m deeply proud of both. You should be as open and honest with your conversational partners as you’d want them to be with you, willing to reveal what your background is and what your likes and dislikes are. That’s part of the give-and-take of conversation, part of getting to know people.Whether you’re talking to one person or a million, the rules are the same: It’s all about making a connection. If you follow all these rules given in the passage, you can become a master of talk. 61. The author regards the ability to___________ as one of the great pleasures in life.22. The author thinks the right attitude, i.e.,____________ is critical to becoming a better talker. 63. Exchanging ideas with people of different backgrounds will help improve our___________ and our thinking.64. When looking for a potential guest, the author will try to find if the guest has_______________.65. If we follow all these rules given in the passage, we will certainly become____________.Ⅳ.Translation(20 points, 4 for each)Directions: In this part,there are five sectences which you are required to translate into Chinese, These sentences are all taken from the reading passages you have just read. You can refer back to the passages so as to identify their meaning in the context.66. In other words, if we want to prevent catching cold, we should stay warm and dry, we should avoid getting too tired, and we should not be close contact with people who have colds.Ⅴ.Writing (25 points)Directions:For this part you are required to Write a letter. Suppose you were Xiao Li. Write a letter to Xiao Wang, a schoolmate of yours who is going to visit you during the hoiday.You should write at least 100 words according to the suggestions given below in Chinese:(根据下面的两点中文提示,写一封不少于100个英文单词的书信)1、表示欢迎。

You can have days with more than twenty-four hours, and weeks with more or fewer than seven days.If you make a five-day trip across the Atlantic ocean, your ship enters a different time zone every day. As you enter each zone, the time changes one hour. Traveling west, you set your clock back; traveling east, you set it ahead. Each day of your trip has either twenty-five of twenty-three hours.If you travel by ship across the Pacific, you cross the international date line. By agreement, this is the point where a new day begins. When you cross the line, you change your calendar one full day, backward or forward. Traveling east, today becomes yesterday, traveling west, it is tomorrow!51. The difference in time between zones is _________ .A) more than seven daysB) twenty-four hoursC) one hourD) seven days52.

If you are thinking of buying a dog, however, you should first decide what sort of companion you need and whether the dog is likely to be happy in the surroundings you can provide. Specialist advice is available to help you choose the most suitable breed of dog. But in part, the decisiondepends on common sense. Different dogs were originally developed to perform specific tasks. So, if you want a dog to protect you or your house, for example, you should choose a breed that has the right size and characteristicsYou must also be ready to devote a good deal of time to train the dog when it is young and give it the exercise it needs throughout its life, unless live in the country and can let it run freely. Dogs are demanding pets. Cats love the house and so are satisfactory with their place which is secure, but a dog is loyal to its master and consequently wants him to show proof of his affection.The best time to buy a baby dog is when it is between 6 and 8 weeks old so that it can transfer its affection from its mother to its master. If baby dogs have not established a relationship with the human being until they are over three months old, their strong relationship will always be with dogs. They are likely to be too shy when they are brought out into the world to become good pets.55. Which of the following is Not true according to the passage?A) Size and characteristics of the dogs should be considered too.B) It is common sense that is the most important when choosing a dog.C) You should decide what kind of dog you want.D) You can always get help from the specialists.56. What is mentioned as a consideration in buying a dog?A) The price of the dog.B) The color of the dog.C) Whether the dog will fit the environment.D) Whether the dog will get along with the other pets in the house.57. Why does the writer say a dog is a more demanding pet than a cat?A) It must be looked after carefully.B) It demands more food and space.C) It needs more love and care.D) It must be trained so that it won’t bite.58. Why is it advised to buy a baby dog under three months old?A) It’s easier to buy a baby dog under three months old.B) They are less likely to run away.C) They are less likely to be shy with human beings.D) It’s easier for them to form a relationship with their masters.Passage ThreeStudents who want to attend an American college or university must explain how they will pay for their education. They have to show that they will be able to pay for each year of study.Students have to consider not only the tuition, the cost of classes, but also meals and a place to live, known as room-and-board. They also need money for books , supplies ,social activities and other things.Educational advisers say foreign students should keep enough money in a local bank to pay for at least two months of spending. So how much will it cost every year to study at an American school? Generally speaking, the answer is: a lot. The University of Washington says foreign students are paying more than thirty-six thousand dollars this year. Its website says the Universityof Washington does not offer financial assistance to international students.This is generally true of American schools, especially at the undergraduate level. It means foreign students are faced with a heavy financial burden.The international application for the university includes a Statement of Financial Responsibility that must be signed. Students must also provide a bank letter or statement from within the past six months. And they have to name anyone who will help with payments. These people must send proof from a bank to show that they have the money.The government or employer may be able to help you pay all or some college costs. A good idea is to ask at least eighteen months before you want to start classes in the United States.Enough time should be ensured to go through procedures.59. Which statement is true according to the first paragraph?A) Foreign students in America can hardly support themselves.B) They should show that they are able to pay the first year of their study.C) Room-and-board refers to the expense on meals and accommodation.D) Students intending to attend an American college or university should explain who will payfor their education.60. According to educational advisers, how many months of expense should be ensured by foreign students?A) At least two months.B) At least six months.C) At least twelve months.D) At least eighteen months.61. What is Not included in the international application for the university?A) A signed Statement of Financial Responsibility.B) A name list of anyone who will offer help for payments.C) A bank statement issued in the past six months.D) Proofs from banks showing that the students have got the money.62.

A man goes shopping because he needs something. His purpose is settled and decided in 32 . He knows what he wants, and his objective is to find it and buy it; the price is a secondary33 . All men simplywalk into a shop and ask for what they want. If the shop has it in 34 , the salesman promptly produces it, and the business of 35 it on proceeds at once. And if all 36 well, the deal can be and often is completed in less than five minutes, With 37 chat and to everyone’s satisfaction.Now how does a woman go out buying clothes? Her shopping is not always 38 on needs. She has 39 fully made up her mind what she wants, and she is only “having a look 40 .” She is always open to persuasion. Indeed she gets great store bywhat the saleman tells her, ever by what comanions tell her. She will try on any number of things. Uppermost in her mind 41 the thought of finding something that everyone thinks suits her. 42 to a lot of jokes, most women have an excellent sense of value when they buy clothes. They are always on the look out for the unexpected 43 . Faced with a roomful of dresses, a woman may easily 44 an hour going from one rail to another ,often retracting her steps, before selecting the dresses she wants to try on. It is a laboring process, but apparently a(n) 45 one. Most dress shops provide chairs for the waiting husbands.31.A.similar B.different C.same D.time-consuming32.A.detail B.advance C.time D.mind33.A.matter B.thing C.objective D.consideration34.A.sale B.stock C.store D.supply35.A.putting B.testing C.examining D.trying36.A.is B.goes C.happening D.being37.A.hardly B.no C.nor D.seldom38.A.decided B.put C.depended D.based39.A.nevertheless B.already C.never D.yet40.A.round B.about C.at D.for41.A.was B.is C.were D.are42.A.According B.As C.So as D.Contrary43.A.bargain B.fashion C.style D.modee B.cost C.spend D.need45.A.worthwhile B.tolerant C.enjoyable D.tiresomeIII.ReadingComprehension(45points)SectionA(30points,2foreach)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 markedA,B,CandD. You should decide on the best choice mark the corresponding letter on the ANSWERSHEET with a single line through the center.Questions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage:Colds are very common. The symptoms(症状)of the common colds include a sore throat, runny nose, stuffed-upnose (塞鼻子), and tiredness. Colds are caused by viruses(病毒),but scientists cannot explain the exact cause. Over dozens of years, scientists have tried to do different experiments to find the cure. Their findings are university the same——— there is no cure. Many people, however believe that they know the cause of and cures for the common cold. For example, they believe that it is possible to get a cold if we get chilled, if we get extra tired, or if we are too close to a person with a cold. In other words, if we want to prevent catching cold, we should stay warm and dry, we should avoid getting too tired, and we should not be in close contact with people who have colds.Meanwhile, there are probably hundreds of “cures” thoughout the world for the common cold. For example, the following suggestions are popularin quite a number of societies: (1)drink plenty of water, (2)get extra rest; (3)take a lot of vitamins(维生素);(4)take aspirin(阿司匹林);(5)keep warm,and soon.Each year people spend a lot of money on cold medicines---pills, liquids,lozenges(含片). But these medicines do not cure colds,they can only relieve cold symptoms. In other words, they make us feel better. Although our human beings cannot cure colds, we have desired to improve our health. Perhaps one day we can find out the ways of curing the common colds. As an ordinary person,we do not know whether the day to find thecure is close to us or not.46.The passage is mainly about______A.looking for the cause of the common coldB.introducing some cures for the common coldC.some general knowledge about the common coldD.new medicines for curing The common cold47.According to the passage, people with colds feel_________A.Stuffy B.tired C.thirsty D.dizzy48.To prevent catching cold, you__________A.should go out on a rainy dayB.should not wash your hair in cold weatherC.should not keep away from a person who has a coldD.should not eat too much49.Which of the following is NOT a “cure” for the commocold?A.Take a lot of vitaminC B.Drink plenty of waterC.Getmorerest D.Put on as many clothes as possible50.Which of the following is TRUE about the common cold?A.There are no medicines that can cure colds.B.There are hundreds of symptoms of the common cold.C.Many people know what causes the commoncold.D.Scientists are close to finding a cure for colds.Questions51to55arebasedonthefollowingpassage:Being happy is just like being fit, with a new guidebook saying you need to practice the skills needed to get this emotion, a little every day, and remain happy even during the darkest time.“Road-testing Happiness: How to be Happier” by Sophie is a self-help book. “Being happy is something you need t o focus on, it doesn’t come as a matter of course.” Scott said. “you always need to make an effort, even if your each the pointof saying, you still need to keep focuing and working on the things that made you happy.” Scott also said the book was born out of her interest in the human’s mind as well as how difficult she found it to cope after her mother died of cancer two years ago.“I was always interested in psychology, but a lot of happiness books don’t tell the fact that you can be happy if your life isn’t going according to plan. The key is managing expectations .”She says, “In the book , I focused on what were the things most likely to make people happy, the ones with the most scientific research.”And before you start thinking that being happy is yet another task and then feel guilty when you don’t do it, Scott said the road to a positive outlook begins with very easy, small steps.“Women today feel overloaded(超负荷):they’ve got to be thin,got to have a career,got to have a perfect relationship and the las t thing you need is to be thinking you’ve got to be happy all the time.” she said. But it is import ant to improve your quality of life. Stop rushing around and filling each moment of the day with things to do, and then sit down and think about your life a nd how yo u’re feeling. The things I got out of this were not things that take a lot of effort: feeling more grateful for the things I’ve got; modifying my reaction to situations and people. It’s about changing small habits, more tinkering around the edges instead of overhauling your life.”51.By saying“ being happy is just like being fit”, the author really means_______.A.people should practice how to remain happyB.people should spend more time to work outC.keepinghappy is the key to continue our lifeD.it’s difficult for people to keep happy all the time52.Why is Scott unsatisfied with the happiness book written by other writers?A.They are not based on psychological analysisB.There is a lack of scientific facts in these booksC.He wants to show his book is the greatest oneD.They haven’t offered readers completed solutions53.What should we do if we want to remain to be happy in Sott’s opinion?A.Force ourselves to burst into laughter everytimeB.Lower our expectations for ourselves sometimesC.Read more books about out psychological activitiesD.Think that happiness is a very important task to do54.In the last paragraph, Scott suggests that_____A.People should sit down and think of their childhoodB.people shouldn’t work so hard and be so overloadedC.people should chang their attitudes towards daily lifeD.people should take their quality of life for granted55.Which of the following can best reflect Scott’sopinion?A.Happiness lies in our contentmentB.Happiness originates from our successC.A smile always makes a young manughing can make you become fatQuestion 56 to 60 are based on the following passage:For a long time women with HIV(艾滋病病毒)were ignored because the focus was totally on HIV men. The gay community (同性恋社区)was very much in sight and vocal(呼声高的)and successfully got support for its cause. Now we are rapidly approaching the point where about one half of all AIDS cases in the world are women. But no one is taking this dangerously highlevel of infection(感染) among women seriously enough.Women usually have a worse time dealing with HIV than men do. In most cases, the woman is taking care of children as well as her sick partner. She may not even have time to take care of herself. The HIV-positive woman ends up shouldering the family as well as her own personal problems. Men, however, are usually the ones who have insurance, income and access to doctors. They get care. Women often do not.The discrimination(歧视) against HIV-positive women is simply terrible. They are likely tobe more inactive than men at home and workplace because too many people think that women are the cause of the disease. This is not at all true. They get it from men. They don’t just simply have HIV. Of course, there’s social discriminatation against all people with HIV. People with HIV,then,are scared that other people will know they are HIV-positive and that they will, therefore ,be discriminated against. For example, it’s very difficult for people with HIV to travel. They are not allowed to enter many countries, including theUnited States,China and Russia.The biggest difficulty an HIV-positive woman must face is isolation(孤独). Once a woman knows she’s HIV-positive, she lives in fear that other people will find out. She’s so frightened that she will go into hiding, int o an isolated place by herself. It’s not at all uncommon to meet a woman who has been HIV-positive for nearly 10 years and has never told anyone, except her doctor. And the resulting stress is enough to make her sick. But HIV-positive women who get support, who can discuss their trouble and then do something about it—whether that means taking better care of themselves or going to the United Nationsto struggle for their rights—are likely to live longer. Active women don’t die out of shame in a corrner. This happens to too many HIV-positive women.56.Women with HIV were ignored for a long time because______.A.they didn’t become infected with HIV very oftenB.they didn’t often ask people to support their causeC.the public focused on men who were HIV positiveD.the public thought women could take care of themselves57.Why do women have more trouble with HIV than men do?A.Women are infected more often than menB.Women with AIDS cannot enter some countriesC.Women are not as vocal as men with HIV areD.Women do not take care of themselves as well58.Why are women with HIV discriminated against?A.They are not active at home and don’tworkB.Men don’t like women who are HIV positiveC.They are much weaker than men with HIVD.People think they are the cause of the disease59.The greatest difficulty that HIV-positive women face is______.ck of moneyB.pain of the diseaseC.unemploymentD.keeping to themselves60.What should a women with AIDS keep from doing?A.Getting support from others withAIDSB.Discussing their trouble with their doctors onlyC.Struggling for their rights as people with AIDSD.Making other people frightened of themSectionB Short Answer Questions (15points,3foreach)Directions: Answer each of the questions in less than 10words.How to Talk to Anyone, Anytime, AnywhereI never wanted to be any thing but abroadcaster, a talker. And for 40 years, I’ve been doing just that. To me, the ability to talk well is one of the greatest pleasures in life and can bring with it some of life’s greatest rewards.I’m not saying it’s always easy. But the more you work at it, the easier it will be. To get you started,here are my four basis rules for learning how to talk to anyone, anytime, anywhere: Attitude CountsAfter the failure in Miami, I made a commitment to keep talking even when it might not be comfortable to work at it.The right attitude———the will to talk———is critical to becoming a better talker.I think one reason I’ve had a certain amount of suc cess in broadcasting is that the audience can see I love what I’m doing. You can’t pretend that.Broaden Your HorizonsThe best conversationalists(对话者)are able to talk about issues and experiences beyond their own daily lives. You can expand your world through travel, but you can also do it without leaving your own backyard. Exchanging ideas with people who have backgrounds different from your own can help improve your conversational skills and your thinking.Keep It LightOne of my most important rules of conversation is never to stay too serious for too long. Similarly, a key quality I look for in a potential guest is a sense of humor. If the guest is not afraid ofmaking fun of himself/herself, it is most appealing to the audience.Be GenuineAnybody I’ve ever talked to for more than a few minutes knowns at least two things about me: I’m from Brooklyn, NewYork, and I’m Jewish(犹太人). That’s because I’m deeply proud of both. You should be as open and honest with your conversational partners as you’d wa nt them to be with you, willing to reveal what your background is and what your likes and dislikes are. That’s part of the give-and-take of conversation, part of getting to know people.Whether you‘re talking to one person or a million, the rules are the same: it’s all about making a connection. If you follow all these rules given in the passage, you can become a master of talk.61.The author regards the ability to_____________ as one of the greatest pleasures in life.62.The passage gives four basic rules for learning how to talk to__________________.63.The author thinks the right attitude,_______________, is critical to becoming a better talker.64.Exchanging ideas with people of different backgrounds will help improve our ____________and ourthinking.65.If we follow all these rules given in the passag, we will certainly become___________________.IV.Translation(20points,4foreach)Directions:In this part, there are five items which you are required to translate into Chinese, theses entences are all taken from the reading passages you have just read. You can refer back to the passages so as to identify their meanings in the context.66.In other words, if we want to prevent catching cold, we should stay warm and dry, we should avoid getting too tired, and we should not be in close contact with people who have colds.________________________________________________________________ _______________ 67.Being happy is just like being fit, with a new guidebook saying you need to practice the skills needed to get this emotion, a little every day, and remain happy even during the darkest time.________________________________________________________________ _______________68.I was always interested in psychology, but a lot of happiness books don’t tell the fact t hat you can be happy if your life isn’t going according to plan. T he key is managing expectations .________________________________________________________________ _______________ 69.Of course, there’s social discriminatation against all people with HIV. P eople with HIV, then, are scared that other people will know they are HIV-positive and that they will, therefore ,be discriminated against.________________________________________________________________ _______________ 70.But HIV-positive women who get support, who can discuss their trouble and then do something about it—whether that means taking better care of themselves or going to the United Nations to struggle for their rights—are likely to live longer.________________________________________________________________ _______________ V.Writing(25points)Directions:For this part you are to write a letter. Suppose you were XiaoLi. Write a lerrer to XiaoWang, a schoolmate of yours who is going to visit you during the holiday. You should write atleast 100 words according to the suggestions given below in Chinese.(根据下面的两点中文提示,写一封不少于100个英文单词的书信)1.表示欢迎。

For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked. A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice.Task 1 (每题2分,共10分)Too many people want others to be their friends, but they don't give friendship back. That is why some friendships don't last long. To have a friend, you must learn to be one. You must learn to treat your friend the way you want your friend to treat you. Learning to be a good friend means learning three rules: be honest; be generous; be understanding.Honesty is where a good friendship starts. Friends must be able to trust one another. IF you do not tell the truth, people usually find out. If a friend finds out that you haven't been honest, you may lose your friend's trust. Good friends always rely on one another to speak and act honestly. Generosity means sharing and sharing makes a friendship grow. You do not have to give your lunch money or your clothes. Naturally you will want to share your ideas and feelings. These can be very valuable to a friend. They tell your friend what is important to you. By sharing them, you help your friend know better.Sooner or later everyone needs understanding and help with each other. Something may go wrong at school. Talking about the problem can make it easier to solve. Turning to a friend can be a first step in solving the problem. So to be a friend you must listen and understand. You must try to put yourself in your friend's place so that you can understand the problem better.No two friendships are exactly alike. But all true friendships have three things in common. If you plan to keep your friends, you must practice honesty, generosity and understanding.41.Some friendships don't last long because .A.there are too many people who want to make friendsB.some people receive friendship but don't give friendship backC.those who give others friendship receive friendship from othersD.they don't know friendship is something serious42.According to the passage, honesty is .A. something countableB. the base of friendshipC. as important as moneyD. more important than anything else43.Which of the following isn't mentioned in the passage?A.Always tell your friends the truth.B.Sharing your mind with your friends is of great value.C.Discussing your problems with your friends often helps to solve the problem.D.A friend who gives you his lunch money is a true friend.44.In the third paragraph, the underlined word 'they' refers to (指).A.generosity and sharingB.generosity and sharingD. your clothes D.your clothes45.The best title of this passage is .A.Honesty Is the Best PolicyB.A Friend in Need Is a Friend indeedC.How to Be FriendsD.Three Important Points in LifeTask2 (每题2分,共10分)There are cockroaches (蟑螂) everywhere on Earth except the places that are covered with ice. Scientists have discovered about 3,500 different species of cockroach. There is just one humanspecies! Cockroaches can be anything in size from about five mm to nine cm. Although five mm is very small, nine cm is as long as a large rat.It is very difficult to catch most cockroaches. They “see” with the hairs on their bodies. These hairs can feel the smallest movement in the air, so the cockroaches know immediately something moves, and run to safety.Of all the species of cockroach, fortunately only three live among humans and are a serious problem. They are the German, the Oriental, and the American. One egg case of the German cockroach can produce as many as seven million cockroaches in 12 months !Our main problem with cockroaches is that not only do they look ugly to us, but they also carry diseases. They are particularly dangerous in hospitals as they eat all kinds 6f hospital waste or get it on their bodies. They can then carry this waste, which may contain dangerous bacteria, on to food which is then eaten by people in the hospital.Most of the bacteria that cause food poisoning have been found in the stomachs of cockroaches, so it is important that cockroaches should be kept out of restaurants and other places where food is prepared.Many people work and try to destroy cockroaches, but as soon as they find one way of doing it, the cockroaches t4learir, how to deal with it. Electricity does not always kill them and they can avoid most poisons or “learn”, how to deal with others. At one time, scientists thought that radiation would kill them, but they have been on Earth for about 300 million years, and it does not harm them as much as it does us.It seems probable that when there are no longer human beings living on the Earth, cockroaches will still be here.46.Cockroaches do not live .A. in homesB.in hospitalsC. in the coldest part of the worldD.with humans47.Cockroaches can sense someone is near .A. by touching them with their hairsB.by hearing themC. by running awayD.by feeling their movement48.Cockroaches can hurt humans with .A. their clawsB.their teethC. the bacteria they carryD.the radiation they give off49.Paragraph 6 says that .A. cockroaches do not dieB.cockroaches cannot be killedC. radiation kills cockroachesD.it is difficult to kill cockroaches50.The passage is mainly about .A. how and where cockroaches liveB. how to get rid of cockroachesC. how important cockroaches are to usD. when cockroaches were first discoveredTask 3 (每题2分,共10分)City traffic jam-one of the least wanted effects of the motor vehicle-is something with which we're all familiar and for which most of us have an answer. But which solution is best?Some people suggest for better roads, others for cars to be banned (禁止)from city centers and yet others say better public transport would attract drivers from their lonely and boring journeys. But the important question is what natural power creates a big city center. We are, after all, in an age of electronic communication; our big shopping areas have moved out of city centers, and ourliving areas moved out of them long ago.Yet some force causes offices and service industries related to them to gather in London or New York or Tokyo. This suggests that far from the problems of a crowded environment forcing companies and people to move out, there is a critical (重大的)size beyond which more companies are attracted to move in. Nobody seems to know why, yet the answer is important to the way traffic jam is dealt with.51.Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage as the cause of the traffic problem?A.The poor public transport.B.The over-concentration of shopping centers.C.The great number of cars in the city centers.D.The bad road conditions.52.According to the passage, offices and their associated service industries move to big cities because of .A.the convenience of communicationB. some unknown forceC.the gathering of companiesD. the convenience of shopping53.The word “This” (Line 2 , Para. 4) refers to .A. some forceB. traffic jamC.the -force that causes offices to move in or outD.the fact that companies gather in big cities54.This passage is most likely taken from .A. a novelB. a TV playC. an instructionD.a news report55.The topic of this passage would probably beA. Best Answer to Traffic ProblemB. The Banning of Cars in the City CenterC.The Formation of City CenterD. Searching for Ways to Solve Traffic ProblemTASK4 (每题2分,共10分)Direction: Read the following passage, and then decide whether the statements (No. 56 to No. 60) are true (T) or false (F)Once every ten years, the consumer electronics industry --the industry which gives people the means to enjoy live and recorded entertainment in their homes--has come up with a major new product. First, there was color TV in the 1960s. Next came hi-fi(1970s) and more recently, in the 1980s> the video cassette recorder (VCR)When the industry introduced color TV in the 1960s, it did so just in time. In most big markets, sales of black and write TV had been in decline for several years. Color TV soon became popular and in the next five years its market share rose from 10% to just over 40%. In the 1970s its share of the market fell dramatically and by the mid 1980s, color TV accounted for less than 20% of the industry's total sales.Hi-fi came on the market around the same time as color television, but its initial share of the market was larger. In 1965 it was already 30% and ten years later it was over 50%. Sales then fell steadily until the mid 1980s and the introduction of the compact disc. Although they were twice as expensive as records, they soon caught on and as a result, hi-fi’s market share rose again.The VCR was the success story of the 1980s. Like television, it was neither a replacement nor an improvement, but a brand-new idea. And it created a new demand among consumers. In 1975, the VCR's share of the market was just 5%. Ten years later it was over 40%. Since then, it has declined steadily and is unlikely to rise again.So the question is what next? What will be the VCR of the next decade?( )56. Once every ten years the electronics industry comes up with a major new product. ( )57. The share of color TV rises steadily up to now.( )58. The VCR was a replacement of hi-fi.( )59. The VCR's share of the market has declined steadily since 1985.( )60. It can be inferred that a new product will be introduced into the market over the next ten years.Part III Cloze (15 points)Directions: In this section, there are 10 blanks in the following. For each bland there are two choices marked A and B. You should choose the right answer that best fits into the passage.You've probably had the experience of having someone fall in love with you when you didn't return the feeling. In such a 61 it's hard to know what to do. You want to 62 your admirer. Yet you don’t want to be so obvious in your efforts that you make an enemy of him or her.A friend of mine had this problem and 63 it in the most tactful way I've 64 Seen. Instead of telling the young man that she found it tiresome to have him around so much, she 65 herself to introducing him to every girl she knew. 66 she had a 67 with him, she arranged for them to drop in at the home of one of her girlfriends. A few weeks was all it 68 for him to click (一见如故)with one of these girls, and then everyone was happy.The new girl and the young man got along just fine and both of them were grateful to my friend for having brought them together. My friend was rid of a problem and she still had the young man as a friend, which was just what she wanted him to be.Of course this solution may not work for you.

There are 3 tasks for you to fulfil. You should read the materials carefully and do the tasks as you are instructed.Passage 1Strange things happen to time when you travel because the earth is divided into twenty-four time zones, one hour apart. You can have days with more or fewer than twenty-four hours, and weeks with more or fewer than seven days.If you make a five-day trip across the Atlantic Ocean, your ship enters a different time zone every day. As you enter each zone, the time changes one hour. Traveling west, you set your clock back; traveling east, you set it ahead. Each day of your trip has either twenty-five or twenty-three hours.If you travel by ship across the Pacific Ocean, you cross the International Date Line. By agreement, this is the point where a new day begins. When you cross the line, you change your calendar one full day, backward or forward. Traveling east, today becomes yesterday. Traveling west, it is tomorrow.51.The difference in time between zones is.A. more than seven daysB. twenty-four hoursC. one hourD. seven days52.From this passage, it seems true that the Atlantic Ocean.A. is in one time zoneB. cannot be crossed in five daysC. is divided into five time zonesD. is divided into twenty-four zones53.If you travel across the Atlantic Ocean, going east, you set your clock.A. one hour ahead in each time zoneB. ahead by twenty-three hoursC. one full day back for each time zoneD. one hour ahead for the whole trip54.The International Date Line is the name for.A.any time zone in the Pacific OceanB.any point where time changes by one hourC.the point where a new day beginsD.the beginning of any new time zonePassage 2Most people have had a dog or wanted one as their companion at some time in their lives. If you are thinking of buying a dog, however, you should first decide what sort of companion you need and whether the dog is likely to be happy in the surroundings you can provide. Specialists’ advice is useful to help you choose the most suitable kind of dog. But in part the decision depends on common sense. Different dogs were originally developed to perform specific tasks. Therefore, if you want a dog to protect you or your house, for example, you should choose the one that has the right size and characteristics.You must also be ready to devote a great deal of time to training the dog when it is young and give it the exercise it needs throughout its life, unless you live in the countryside and can let it run freely. Dogs are demanding pets. Cats love the house and so are satisfactory with their place where it is secure, but a dog is loyal to its master and consequently wants him to show proof of his affection.The best time to buy a baby dog is when it is between 6 and 8 weeks old so that itcan transfer its love from its mother to its master. If baby dogs have not established a relationship with the human being until they are over three months old, their strong relationship will always be with dogs. They are likely to be too shy when they are brought out into the world to become good pets.55.Which of the following is Not true according to the passage?A.Size and characteristics of the dogs should be considered too.B.It is common sense that is the most important when choosing a dog.C.You should decide what kind of dog you want.D.You can always get help from the specialists.56.What is mentioned as a consideration in buying a dog?A.The price of the dog.B.The color of the dog.C.Whether the dog will fit the environment.D.Whether the dog will get along with the other pets in the house.57.Why does the writer say a dog is a more demanding pet than a cat?A. It must be looked after carefully.B. It demands more food and space.C. It needs more love and care.D. It must be trained so that it won’t bite.58.Why is it advised to buy a baby dog under three months old?A.It’s easier to buy a baby dog under three months old.B.They are less likely to run away.C.They are less likely to be shy with human beings.D.It’s easier for them to form a relationship with their masters.Passage 3Students who want to attend an American college or university must explain how they will pay for their education. They have to show that they will be able to pay for each year of study. Students have to consider not only the tuition, the cost of classes, but also meals and a place to live, known as room-and-board. They also need money for books, supplies, social activities and other things.Educational advisers say foreign students should keep enough money in a local bank to pay for at least two months of spending. So how much will it cost every year to study at an American school? Generally speaking, the answer is: a lot. The University of Washington says foreign students are paying more than thirty-six thousand dollars this year. Its website says the University of Washington does not offer financial assistance to international students. This is generally true of American schools, especially at the undergraduate level. It means foreign students are faced with heavy financial burden.The international application for the university includes a Statement of Financial Responsibility that must be signed. Students must also provide a bank letter or statement from within the past six months. And they have to name anyone who will helpwith payments. These people must send proofs from banks to show that they have the money.The government or employer may be able to help them pay all or some college costs. A good idea is to ask at least eighteen months before they want to start classes in the United States. Enough time should be ensured to go through procedures.59.Which statement is true according to the first paragraph?A.Foreign students in America can hardly support themselves.B.They should show that they are able to pay for the first year of their study.C.Room-and-board refers to the expense on meals and accommodation.D.Students intending to attend an American college or university should explain who will pay for their education.60.According to educational advisers, how many months of expenses should be ensured by foreign students?A. At least two months.B. At least six months.C. At least twelve months.D. At least eighteen months.61.What is NOT included in the international application for the university?A.A signed Statement of Financial Responsibility.B.A name list of anyone who will offer help for payments.C.A bank statement issued in the past six months.D.Proofs from banks showing that the students have got the money.62.American universities ______ to international students at the undergraduate level.A.sometimes offer partial financial assistanceB.occasionally offer financial assistanceC.generally do not offer financial assistanceD.always offer financial assistancePart IV TranslationSection A Translation the following English into Chinese (10 points)71.Travelling west, you set you clock back; travelling east, you set it ahead.72.Different dogs were originally developed to perform specific tasks.73.A dog is loyal to its master and consequently wants him to show proof of his affection.74.This is generally true of American schools, especially at the undergraduate level.75 The government or employer may be able to help them pay all or some college costs.Section B Translation the following Chinese into English (10 points)76、我喜欢农村生活胜过城市生活。

It is like bringing the world to your mailbox.Fiona, a member of ,says,''I love swapping postcards!Although it seems quite time-consuming to pick one ,write it and post it ,it is the amusement of receiving a flash of sunshine or humor that makes it worthwhile.''51.The underlined word ''Swapping''in Paragraph 1 means ____ .A.exchangingB.designingC.collectingD.writing52.The first paragraph tells us that ____ .A.postcards are simple and beautifulB.Swapping postcards is a hobby for all peopleC.Swapping postcards can keep pen friends in contactD.Those who swap postcards have lost interest in the real word53.Which of the following is true of ?A.Its members should pay for registrationB.It was created for a particular purposeC.Its members can share different hobbiesD.It was started by a group of citizens54.When will your name be added to the list of people to receive postcards on ?A.After one confirms the reception of your postcard.B.After you e-mail your first postcard.C.After you register on the websiteD.After one receives your address55.In Fiona's eyes,swapping postcards is ____ .A.time-savingbor-savingC.worthwhileD.humorousPassage 3Listening is an extremely complex communicative activity. In order to have a better understanding, to anticipate what is coming is very important.An effective listener should continuously develop more or less specific readiness for what will come next. If a listener hears what he has expected, it will be much easier for him to receive the information.But if what he hears is totally out of his expectation,he will fail to get the message.The skill to anticipate what is coming in listening comprehension depends largely on the listener's familiarity with the theme(主题)of the message.It also depends on the listener's knowledge of the speaker as well as the situation.Obviously, when we listen to something that we already have some information about, it is generally much easier for us to take in the new information .Therefore,pre-listening preparation seems to play an important role in increasing our comprehension .Before actual listening ,we could perhaps first give some thought to the topic ,discuss it with others ,and then read some related material and do some vocabulary work. If we could make ourselves fully prepared for the coming talks or lectures,we are more likely to become effective listeners.Of course,readiness beforehand is not at all enough .Active thinking must take place all the way through .In fact ,we should always try to think ahead of the speaker.56.The passage is most possible taken from ____ .A.a novelB.a textbookC.a news reportD.a fashion magazine57.What is the first paragraph mainly about?A.How to think actively in listening comprehension.B.How to develop specific readiness before listening.C.The skills in anticipating in listening comprehension.D.The importance of anticipating in listening comprehension.58.The skill to anticipate in listening comprehension depends largely on ____ .A.the listener's emotionB.the difficulty of the messageC.the listener's communicative skillsD.The listener's familiarity with the topic59.In order to anticipate ,the first thing to do before actual listening may be ____ .A.do some vocabulary workB.think about the topicC.read some related materialD.discuss the topic with others60.What is the author's attitude towards anticipating in listening comprehension?A.Neutral.B.Positive.C.Negative.D.Critical.Passage 4When men get stick,they act like babies ,say women . But maybe the fairer sex should learn something useful from these guys ----it could save their lives,say researchers at the University of Michigan.When women have a heart attack ,they’re more likely to put off seeking help the men ,and after an attack,they’re less likely to take steps to improve their health . What’s the reason for the different responses? The results of a survey suggest that women are too tough; they think heart problem are simply not a big deal . When Steven Erickson and his colleagues asked 348 men and 142 women who had been admitted to the hospital for a heart attack about their symptoms and medication (用药情况),they found that even though the women had more symptoms and were taking more medicine they rated their disease as being no more severe than the men did .For more on women and heart disease ,go to .61.The underlined expression "the fairer sex" in Paragraph 1 refers to ____ .A. menB. babiesC. womenD.researchers62.

It is widely celebrated, with different names, in many countries. Although it started as a religious holiday, it has lost its religious connections in the United States. It is now celebrated largely as a children’s day, and many American children look forward to it for days and weeks before-hand.The orange pumpkin is harvested at this time of year and is hollowed out, a funny face cut into it and a candle placed inside, and put in the window as a decoration. City folks, nowadays, sometimes use paper pumpkins for decorations.Some years ago, the holiday was celebrated by dressing up in strange and frightening costumes and playing tricks on one’s neighbors and friends, such as ringing door bell, throwing bits of corn at window panes, and making small troubles in other ways.More recently, children have begun to go door to door to have friends and neighbors admire their costumes and give treats of candy, fruit or cookies. They say, “Trick or Treat”, meaning, “I will play a trick on you if you don’t give me a treat.” This practice has even recently developed into an international activity. Instead of, or along with candy, children collect money for UNICEF (the United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund). This special collection of money by children for poor children throughout the world is known as “UNICEF Trick or Treat”.16.

Because of these devices, ideas andTelephone, television, radio, and the Internet help people communicate with each other. Because of these devices, ideas and news of events spread quickly all over the world. For example, news of disaster, such as a flood, can bring help from distant countries. Within hours, help is on the way. This is because modern technology information travels fast.How has this speed of communication changed the world? To many people, the world hasbecome smaller. Two hundred years ago, communication between the continents took a long time. All news was carried on ships that took weeks or even months to cross the ocean. In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, it took six weeks for news from Europe to reach the America. This time difference influenced people’s actions. For example, a few battles in the War of 1812 between England and the United State could have been avoided. A peace agreement had already been signed. Peace was made in England, but the news of peace took six weeks to reach America. During these six weeks, the large and serious Battle of New Orleans was fought. Many people lost their lives after a peace treaty had been signed. They would not have died of news had come in time. In the past, communication took much more time than it does now. There was a good reason why the world seemed so much larger than it does today.21. Thanks to _______, we can gain brand-new ideas and news of events from all over the world.A. DisastersB. EuropeC. Ocean travelD. modern technology22. What took six weeks a couple of hundred years ago?A. Ocean travel between Europe and America.B. The War of 1812 between the US and England.C.

Which is the most appreciate title for this passage?A.Modern Technology and CommunicationB. A Peace AgreementC.The UnnecessaryD.People in the Information AgePassage 3Questions 26-30 are based on the following passage.Dream is a story that a person “watches” or even takes part in during sleep. Dream events are imaginary, but they are related to real experience and needs in the dreamer’s life. They seem real while they are taking place. Some dreams are pleasant, others are annoying, and still others are frightening.Everyone dreams, but some persons never recall dreaming. Others remember only a little about a dream they had just before awakening and nothing about earlier dreams. No one recalls all his dreams.Dreams involve little logical thought. In most dreams, the dreamer cannot control what happens to him. The story may be confusing, and things happen that would not happen in real life. People see in most dreams , but they may also hear, smell, touch, and taste in their dreams. Most dreams occur in color, but persons who have blind since birth do not see at all in dreams.Dreams are a product of the sleeper's mind. They include events and feelings that he hasexperienced. Most dreams are related to events of the day before the dream and strong wishes of the dreamer. Many minor incidents of the hours before sleep appear in dreams. Few events more than two days old turn up. Deep wishes or fears- expecially those held since childhood-often appear in dreams, and many dreams fulfill such wishes. Events in the sleeper's surroundings-a loud noise, for example, may become part of a dream, but they do not cause dreams.Some dreams involve deep feelings that a person may not realize he has. Psychiatrists(精神病医生)often use material from a patient's dreams to help the person understand himself better.Dreaming may help maintain good learning ability, memory and emotional adjustment. People who get plenty of sleep-but are awakened each time they begin to dream-become anxious and restless.26.This passage is mainly about?A. Why are dram during sleep?B. How we dream during sleep.C. What dreams are.D. What benefits dreams bring to people.27. Can people recall their dreams?A. Not all people can recall their dream.B. None of the people can recall their dreams.C.

Dream is a confusing story which involves little logical thought.B. Dream if related to the dreamer'real life.C. Dream is an imaginary story which seems real while taking place.D. Dream involves events that always happen in real life.29. According to this passage, psychiatrist can .A. Help the dreamer recall his earlier dreams.B. make the sleeper dream logically.C. help the dreamer understand himself better.D. help the sleeper fulfill his dreams.30. The least possible events that appear in dreams areA. minor incidents that happened hours before one goes to sleep.B. minor indents that happened more than two days ago.C. the strong wishes a person has since childhood.D. the strong fears a person has since childhood.Section B (15 points)Directions : in this section, there is a passage with ten blanks.

But the only things people have ever found were 50 footprints.

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 1I’m a Chinese student studying in Canada. I have been a boarder with the Carsons for more than a year and a half.The Carsons live in their own house, which has four bedrooms including the one in the basement(底层) which I live in. Judy does all the work in the house and Andrew is responsible for the work in the garden. When they go out in the evening, they often ask me to look after their children.Judy’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Morris, lived in another city. Judy was their only child and naturally they doted on(宠爱) Judy’s children. They often sent the children presents.Last April Mr. Morris died. Now that Mrs. Morris was quite alone, I expected that Judy would want her to come and live with them. One day, Margaret told me grandma was coming to live with them and her daddy and mummy woul d want my room back. The news didn’t surprise me and the next day I went to Judy and asked her about it. I said I couldn’t think of living in their basement room any longer if it was needed for Mrs. Morris. Judy seemed surprised at first. Then she told me there was no need for me to move, for they hadn’t yet come to any decision about her mother coming to live with them. “Naturally I’m worried about my mother. She has been in poor health.” She smiled sadly and added. “To be honest, Andrew and my mother have never got on well. We’ll wait a bit and see what happens. Perhaps Mother will be all right living herself, or perhaps they will both change their minds.”That was six months ago. During this time I’ve heard that Mrs. Morris has had two illnesses and that her health has got worse. A nursing home was mentioned once but Mrs. Morris refused to go there. So up to now she’s still living alone and I’m still living in the basement room.61. What is the relationship between the speaker and the Carsons?A. He is a brother of Andrew Carson.B. He is a close friend of the Carsons.C. He is a student of Judy Carson.D. He is a student who pays to live and have meals at the Carsons’ house.62. Why did the speaker expect Mrs. Morris to come to live with her daughter?A. Because Mr. Morris was dead.B. Because Mrs. Morris suffered from illness.C. Because Mrs. Morris lived all by herself.D. Because of all the reasons mentioned in A, B and C.63. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A. Mrs. Morris was coming to live with the Carsons, so they asked the speaker to move.B. Judy had no brothers or sisters to look after her mother.C. Mrs. Morris loved her grandchildren very much.D. The Carsons once suggested that Mrs. Morris go to live in a nursing home.64. Why didn’t Mrs. Morris come to live with her daughter’s family?A. Because the speaker lived in the basement room and there was no other room for her tolive in.B. Because she did not have a good relationship with her son in law.C. Because she was in rather poor health and could not come.D. Because she did not want to leave her own house.65. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. My LandladyB. The BoarderC. Family Relationships in CanadaD. Nursing Homes and the AgedPassage 2Overhead bridges are found in many parts of Beijing, especially in places where traffic is very heavy and crossing the road is dangerous.The purpose of these bridges is to enable pedestrians to cross roads safely. Overhead bridges are used in very much the same way as a zebra crossing. They are more efficient although lessconvenient because people have to climb up a long flight of steps. This is inconvenient especially to older people. When pedestrians use an overhead bridge, they do not hold up traffic. However, when they cross a busy road using a zebra crossing, traffic is held up. This is why the government has built many overhead bridges to help pedestrians and to keep traffic moving at the same time.The government of Beijing has spent a large amount of money on building these bridges. For their own safety, pedestrians should be encouraged to use them instead of risking their lives by dashing across the road. Old people, however, may find it a little difficult climbing up and down the steps, but it is still much safer than walking across the road with all the danger of moving traffic.Overhead bridges serve a very useful purpose. Pedestrians, both old and young, should make it a habit to use them. This will prevent unnecessary accidents and loss of life.66. What is the advantage of overhead bridges mentioned in this passage?A. Taller trucks can pass under them.B. Pedestrians can climb up and have a view of the city.C. They are safer for pedestrians and can keep traffic moving at the same time.D. They are easier and more convenient for the pedestrians.67. Why were overhead bridges built in Beijing?A. Because they prevent traffic from being held up.B. Because they provide an easy way for the drivers to cross the road.C. Because they save money for the government.D. Because they save time for the pedestrians.68. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. Overhead bridges are found in every part of Beijing.B. Overhead bridges are only found in the centre of Beijing.C. Overhead bridges are found in many parts of big cities in China.D. Overhead bridges are found in places where traffic is heavy.69. The underlined words “a zebra crossing” probably mean ______.A. a safe place across a road for pedestrians to walk across the roadB. a wild animal from Africa that looks like a horse with broad dark brown and white stripes on its bodyC. a safe place across a road for zebras to walk across the roadD. a safe place across a road for older people to rest in70. What is the writer’s attitude towards overhead bridges?A. It is inconvenient to older people to walk across the road.B. It is much safer for pedestrians though climbing up and down the steps may be a littledifficult.C. An overhead bridge is more beautiful than a zebra crossing.D. To build overhead bridges is the business of the government.Passage 3There was a time when,if a lady got into a crowded bus or train,a gentleman would immediately stand up and offer his seat. But now,things are different. Today a gentleman will probably look out of the window or if he feels a bit shy,hide behind his newspaper. Either way,the lady will have to stand until someone else gets off.You can’t entirely blame men for this change in manners,though. Gone are the days when women could be referred to as weakers without causing trouble. A whole generation of women has grown up demanding equality with men,not just equality in jobs or education,but in social life. Hold a door open for some women and you are likely to get an angry lecture on treating women as inferiors(能力低下的人) unable to open doors for themselves. Take a girl out for meal and she’ll probably insist on paying her share of the bill. On second thoughts,that is perhaps not such a bad idea.It’s no wonder,then, that men have given up some ways of politeness and consideration which they used to show towards women. On the other hand,the man’s active politeness is perhaps slowly being replaced by true consideration for the needs and feelings of women,so that men can see women as equal human beings,rather than as weakers or something that can be used to please men.71. Today, when a lady gets on a crowded bus or train, a gentleman would probably______ .A. stand up and offer her his seatB. read his newspaperC. look out of the windowD. not stand up and offer her his seat72. What men do towards women on a crowded bus or train today is______ .A. really badB. strange enoughC. not entirely wrongD. entirely wrong73. The new generation of women wants to be______ .A. treated not as the weaker sexB. treated as the weaker sexC. cared for on buses and trainsD. better treated than before74. According to the passage, which of the following is Not correct?A. Some women may get angry if you open the door for them.B. Girls don’t want you to pay for meal at all.C. Some women may criticize you if you show too much politeness to them.D. A girl may be unhappy if you insist on paying her share of the bill.75. From this passage, we know that______ .A. women need true consideration of their needs and feelingsB. men have given up some politeness they used to show to womenC. women often get angry if you’re polite to themD. women should stand in the bus or trainPassage 4Family” is of course an elastic 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 starting one’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 ch ildren 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 Austen’s Pride and Prejudice will know that in former times marriage among wealthy families was 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 skillfulencouragement to 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 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.76. What does th e author mean by “‘Family’ is of course an elastic word”?A. Different families have different ways of life.B. Different definitions could be given to the word.C. Different nations have different families.D. Different times produce different families.77. For an English family, the husband’s duty is______ .A. supporting the family while the wife is financialB. defending the family while the wife is running the homeC. financial while the wife is running the homeD. independent while the wife is dependent78. Everything is decided in a family______ .A. by the coupleB. with the help of their parentsC. by brothers and sistersD. with the help of aunts and uncles79. 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 ideas of English social life in the past.D. It provides a lot of information of former time wealthy families.80. With regard to marriage in Britain, present day girls differ from former time girls in______ .A. the right to marryB. more parental supportC. choosing husbandsD. social positionPart Ⅳ Translation (1.5×10 points)Directions:There are 10 sentences in this section.

(本大题共15小题,每小题三分,共45分)Passage 1Artificial Satellites are any objects that were purposefully put in space to orbit (绕轨道) around a planet ,the Moon, or the Sun .The satellites are used for communication,militart intelligence, and scientific studies of outer space.The frist artificial satellite was launched in 1957, and since tnen,satellites have become an invaluable part of today’s technologh.Placing a satellite into orbit requires a tremendous amount of energy,which must come from the lanuch vehicle, or a device that launches the satellite.The sarellite needs to reach an altitude (高度) of at least 120 miles and a speed of over 18,000 mph to lift into orbit successfully. Satellite receive this combination of poteneial energy(altitude) and kinetic energy (speed) from multi-stage rockets burning chemical fuels.The frist stage of the multi-stage rockets is designed to privide enough energy to lift the entire launch vehicle, which contains fuel, the satellite, off the launch pad into the frist part of the flight .After its engines use up all its fuel , the frist stage rocket separates from the launch vehicle ,falling back to the earth.The second stage rocket pushes the satellite into orbit . Once the satellite has been lifted to its destination point , the second stage rockets also detach.However,some satellites require an orbit that is farther from the Earth and have the third stage rockets to boost them to an altitude of its mission .After the satellite has reached the final altitude ,another rocket engine fires and gives the satellite a circular orbit. All rockets must burn at a precise moment and last for a precise amount of time so that the satellite achieves its proper in space.11.What’s the main idea of this passage?A.Rocket lunching.B.Placing a satellite into orbit.C.Multi-stage rockets C.T wo stages of launching satellites.12.Which of the following statements is NOT true?A.Satellites have become valueless for today’s technology.unching satellite requires a tremendous amount of energy.C.The satellite must reach a speed of over 18,000 mph.D.Satellites receive this combination of potential energy and kinetic energy from multi-stage rockets burning chemical fuels.13.Generally speaking,how mang stages are there in a multi-stage rocket?A.T wo.B.Three.C.Four.D.Five.14.”___”is closest in meaning to the word”detach”?A.SeparateB.ConnectB.Attach unch15.What is more important in launching the satellite into its proper position in space?A.The satellite reaches an altitude of at most 120 miles.B.The satellite flies at a speed of 18,000 mph only.C.The sdtellite receives a combination of potential energy.D.All rockets must burn at a precise moment and last for a precise amount of time.Passage 2When a teacher or a lecturer recommends a student to read a book, it is usually for a particular purpose. In many cases, the teacher doesn’t suggest that the whole book should be read.In face, he may just refer to few pages which have a direct bearing on the matter being discussed.Unfortunately, when many students pick up a book to read they tend to have noparticular purpose in mind other than simply to “read the book “. Other they open the the book and start reading page by page, line by line, word by word,in other words,slowly and in gread detail. The result is forget fairly soon what they’ve been reading.Students can make their reading much more effective by adopting a strategy a strategy aimed at helping them to understand and to remember what they read. Firstly,they should know precisely why they’re reading the book ; perhaps the aim is to find some information that’ll answer a question ; perhaps it’s to understand a difficule idea or argument, and so on. Then the students should decide exactly what they are going to read; it’s seldom necessary to read the whole book. A good starting point is the content page, the chapter headings, and even the index at the back of the book. They are very useful in helping to pinpoint the exact pages that need to be read carefully for particular pieces of information.16.According to passge,it is rare for a teacher_____.A. to recommend a whole book for students to readB. to require students to read carefullyC. to assign reading with a certain purposeD. to locate books for students to find17.What is the write’s attitude towards reading slowly and in detail?A. Positive.B. Critical.C. Neutral.D.Indifferent.18.The result of reading word by word is that_____.A. Student have to read the whole bookB. Student have not enough time to finish the bookC. student often fail to get the main idea of the bookD. student usually get more useless information19. The cover page, the chapter headings and the index are important for a reader to start his reading with because______.A. they cover major points of the book in detail the bookB. they can take readers a lot of time to read every part of the bookC. they may help readers to better understand the bookD. they may help readers find the parts the book that need to be read20. The passage is mainly about______.A. the importance of readingB. the effective ways of readingC. the difficulties in readingD. the incorrect habits of readingPassage 3It 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 word is the man who is generally most ready to beg or steal.
