Part I Reading ComprehensionDirections: There are 4 reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A., B., C., and D.. You should decide on the choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. Passage OneBlack is the color of mourning. Red symbolizes danger and violence. If you are afraid, you are yellow. None of these saying is true outside the English-speaking world. In China and Korea, white is the color of mourning. In Russia, red stands for beauty and life. In Italy and Germany, you are yellow with anger, not with fear.A redcap in the United States is a porter in a station； in Britain a redcap is a military policeman. Both names are logical, because both men wear red caps. Similarly, an American white-collar worker is sometimes called a black-coated worker in Britain. The expression “blueblood”, which is now international, comes from Spain, where some n oble families declared they had “sangre azual”, meaning that they had no Jewish blood. But why “blueblood”？Because the veins stand out when their possessor is fair-skinned.1. Yellow symbolizes anger in _________.A) Austria B) EnglandC) Germany D) Russia2. The Russians connect red with ________.A) blood B) lifeC) death D) fear3. White symbolizes mourning in _________.A) Canada and BritainB) China and KoreaC) Germany and ItalyD) Russia and the United States4. Both Britain and America would probably agree that ________.A) black is the color of mourningB) a black-coated worker is employed in an officeC) a redcap is a porter in a stationD) red stands for beauty and truth5. Which of the following statements is true?A) Two meanings of “redcap” come from a difference in weather.B) Some noble men liked Jewish people.C) “Sangre azual” means “red blood”.D) The international color expression “blueblood” begins in Spain.Passage TwoCars are an important part of life in the United States. The car made the United States a nation on wheels. And it helped make the United States what it is today.There are three main reasons why the car became so popular in the United States. First of all, the country is a huge one and Americans like to move around in it. The car 石家庄装修公司石家庄装修石家庄装修网石家庄装饰网大连装修公司大连装修大连装饰网大连装饰公司provide the most comfortable and cheapest form of transportation (运输).The second reason that cars are popular is the fact the United States never really developed an efficient and inexpensive form of public transportation. Long distance trains have never been as common in the United States as they are in other parts of the world. Nowadays there is a good system of air-service provided by planes. But it is too expensive to be used frequently.The third reason is the most important one, though. The American spirit of independence is what really makes cars popular. Americans don‟t like to wait for a bus or a train or even a plane. And the freedom a car gives them is what Americans want most to have.The decrease of gas supplies has caused a big problem for Americans. But the answer will not be a bigger system of public transportation. The real solution will have to be a new kind of car, one that doesn‟t use so much gas.6. Why do we call the United States “a nation on wheels”?A) Because it first started making cars in large numbers.B) Because there are various forms of transportation in the country.C) Because Americans like moving around in cars.D) Because transportation in the country is cheap and convenient.7. According to the statement “And it helped make the United States what it is today” (Para 1. Line 3), we know that _______.A) the car has greatly helped to develop the economy of the countryB) the car has changed the traditions of the countryC) the car has become America‟s most modern form of transportationD) the car has made the Americans enjoy spending money freely8. What is the most important reason that cars become popular in the United States?A) Americans enjoy sightseeing in different places.B) Americans like to go round freely.C) The United States is a very big country.D) Public transportation is not so efficient.9. What is the disadvantage with air-service in the United States as mentioned in the passage?A) It uses a lot of fuel.B) It is not as comfortable as the car.C) It costs a lot.D) It takes the longest route.10. What has become a big headache to the Americans?A) There isn‟t enough petrol as wanted.B) They have to invent new types of cars.C) Poor public transportation.D) The necessity of moving about.Passage ThreeDuring the nineteenth century, when little was known about environmentalism and石家庄装修公司石家庄装修石家庄装修网石家庄装饰网大连装修公司大连装修大连装饰网大连装饰公司conservation (保护), it was common to hear people in Europe and American say that the resources (资源)of the sea were unlimited. They believed the world and nature would continuously reproduce all the resources they would need. For example, a noted biologist writing in the mid-nineteenth century commented that none of the great sea fisheries were to be exhausted. Today, though, there is evidence that resources of the sea were seriously endangered.Previously, environmentalists have founded their attention on the land and air. Recently, however, they are beginning to discover that the resources of the sea are in as much danger. Some sea animals are endangered as well as the African elephant, the Indian tiger, and the American eagle(鹰).Furthermore, the threats（威胁） to fish are more alarming in some ways than the threats to animals and birds. This is because fish are a much needed food source, and people throughout the world depend on fish as an important part of their food. Therefore, a decrease in the fish supply could have extensive effects on hunger and population. Fisherman in the north Atlantic alone yearly harvest 20 billion pounds of fish to satisfy food demand, but the world needs to recognize that these practices cannot continue without decreasing fish reserves within the next few years. Rapid decreasing sea resources in parts of the world are problems that cannot be ignored any longer. Unlike the scholars in the nineteenth century, we now know that food supplies in the sea cannot last forever.11. The passage is mainly about ________.A) whether sea resources are limited.B) how to raise sea fisheriesC) the good taste of sea foodD) how to increase food supplies12. According to the writer, what attitude did many people in the 19th century have toward sea resources?A) They believed that the resources would decrease.B) They knew that the resources would soon be used up.C) They thought that the resources would not be exhausted.D) They argued that the resources were limited.13. The main reason for maintaining sea resources is that _______.A) they are important as food resources.B) all living things should be protectedC) noted biologists insist soD) fishes are becoming smaller in number than American eagles14. The writer mentions the American elephant, Indian tiger and American eagle to show that they are _______.A) endangered on the land and in the airB) important kinds to be keptC) symbols of different countriesD) examples of 200 animals15. The purpose of the writer in writing this passage is to show that ______.A) the resources of the sea were unlimitedB) there are threats to sea resources as wellC) fish will continue as important food suppliesD) we must love fishPassage FourRecently a five-year study was constructed by the Center for Childhood Development in Los Angeles, California, regarding the way babies react to different types of people. The findings of the study suggest that infant (婴儿)children seem to be more comfortable around other babies than they are with strange adults.The results support the idea of Dr. Richard Perelman, a well-known doctor treating children. He has written many books about raising children. Doctor Perelman supports the findings of the study and adds that it is a sounder idea to keep children with other children, as in a day care center, than it is to have children cared for by a baby-sitter.According to the results of the study, infants benefits from being in the company of other babies on a daily basis while some babies seem to show fear of strange adults. They are likely to reach out to try to touch an unfamiliar baby. The study even suggests that children as young as one year old can form friendships.Two of the children in study were especially close. It was reported that if the children were separated for any reason they would start to cry. The only way to satisfy them was to allow them to be together. If the findings are true, it may lead to an increase in the use of day care centers where children can spend more time with each other and less time with adults16. What is the best title of this passage?A) Infant Testing Procedures（步骤）B) How to Be a Good ParentC) Choosing the Best Day Care Center for BabiesD) How to Choose a Good Doctor17. According to the first paragraph, a baby is most likely to be comfortable with ______.A) a baby-sitterB) another babyC) a strange adultD) Dr. Richard Perelman18. What is true about Dr. Richard Perelman?A) He writes many books for children.B) He raises many children.C) He teaches at a university.D) He has a special view on raising children.19. According to the passage, what is the best way to care for a baby?A) To take the babies to work.B) To let babies stay with other babies.C) To hire a baby-sitter.D) Adults should care for children.20. What is the purpose of the writer in writing this passage?A) To Inform the readersB) To doubt the new findingsC) To provide an argumentD) To increase day care centersPart II Vocabulary and StructureDirections: There are 30 incomplete sentences in this part .For each sentence there are four choices marked A., B., C., and D. .Choose the ONE that best completes the sentence.

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 OneI'm a Chinese student studying in Canada. 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. 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 children to play a game70. 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 little difficult,C. An overhead bridge is more beautiful than a zebra crossing.D. To build overhead bridges is the business of the government.Passage ThreeThere 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 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.

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.

Each passage is followed by some questions or incomplete 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 the corresponding letter on the ANSWER SHEET.Children have their own rules in playing games. They seldom need a referee( 裁判)and rarely trouble to keep scores. They don’t care much about who wins or loses, and it doesn’t seem to worry them if the game is not finished. Yet, they like games that depend a lot on luck, so that their personal abilities cannot be directly compared. They also enjoy games that move in stages, in which each stage, the choosing of leaders, the picking up of sides, or the determining of which side shall start, is almost a game in itself.Grown ups can hardly find children’s games exciting, and they often feel puzzled at why their kids play such simple games again and again. However, it is found that a child plays games for very important reasons. He can be a good player without having to think whether he is a popular person, and he call find himself being a useful partner to someone of whom he is ordinarily afraid. He becomes a leader when it comes to his turn. He can be confident, too, in particular games, that it is his place to give orders, to pretend to be dead, to throw a ball actually at someone, or to kiss someone he has caught.It appears to us that when children play a game they imagine a situation under their control. Everyone knows the rules, and more importantly,everyone plays according to the rules. Those rules may be childish, but they make sure that every child has a chance to win.31.What is true about children when they play games?A.They can stop playing any time they like.B.They can test their personal abilities.C.They want to pick up a better team.D.They don’t need rules.32.To become a leader in a game the child has to .A.play wellB.wait for his turnC.be confident in himselfD.be popular among his playmates33.What do we know about grown ups?A.They ale not interested in games.B.They find children’s games too easy.C.They don’t need a reason to play gaines.D.They don’t understand children’s games.34.Why does a child like playing games?A.Because he can be someone other than himself.B.Because he can become popular among friends.C.Because he finds he is always lucky in games.D.Because he likes the place where he plays a game.35.The writer believes that .A.children should make better rules for their gamesB.children should invite grown ups to play with themC.children’s games can do them a lot of goodD.children play games without reasonsThe food we eat seems to have profound effects on our health. Although science has made enormous steps in making food more fit to eat, it has, at the same time, made many foods unfit to eat. Some researches have shown that perhaps eighty percent of all human illnesses are related to diet and forty percent of cancer is related to diet as well, especially cancer of the colon. Different cultures are more likely to cause certain different illnesses because of the food that is characteristic of these cultures. That food is related to illness is not a new discovery. In 1945, about 35 years ago, government researchers realized that nitrates(硝酸盐), commonly used to preserve the color in meats, and other food additives, caused cancer. Yet, these carcinogenic additives remain in our food, and i t becomes more difficult all the time to know which things on the packaging labels of processed food are helpful or harmful. The additives which we eat are not all so direct. Farmers often give penicillin to beef and living animals, and because of this, penicillin has been found in the milk of treated cow. Sometimes similar drugs are given to animals not for medical purposes, but for financial reasons. The farmers are simply trying to fatten the animals in order to obtain a higher price on the market. Although the Food mad Drug Administration(FDA) has tried repeatedly to control these procedures, the practices continue.36.What is the best title of the passage?A. Drug and FoodB. Cancer and HealthC. Food and HealthD. Health and Drug37.Which of the following statements is NOT true?A.Drugs are always given to animals for medical reasons.B.Some of the additives in our food are added to the food itself and some are given to the living animals.C.Researchers have known about the potential dangers of food additives for over thirty five years.D.Food may cause forty percent of cancer in the world.38.How has science done something harmful to mankind?A.Because of science，diseases caused by polluted food have been virtually eliminated.B.It has caused a lack of information concerning the value of food.C.Because of the application of science，some potentially harmful substances have been added to food.D.The scientists have preserved the color of meats，but not of vegetables.39.What are nitrates used for?A.They preserve flavor in packaged foods.B.They preserve the color of meats.C.They are the objects of research.D.They cause the animals to become fatter.40.The word “carcinogenic” most nearly means “”.A. trouble makingB. color retainingC. money makingD. cancer causingWater problems in the future will become more intense and more complex. Our increasing population will tremendously increase urban wastes, primarily sewage. On the other hand, increasing demands for water will decrease substantially the amount of water available for diluting wastes. Rapidly expanding industries which involve more and more complex chemical processes will produce large volumes of liquid wastes, and many of these will contain chemicals which are noxious. To feed our rapidly expanding population, agriculture will have to be intensified. This will involve ever increasing q uantities of agricultural chemicals. From this,it is apparent that drastic steps must be taken immediately to develop corrective measures for the pollution problem.There are two ways by which this pollution problem can be dwindled. The first relates to the treatment of wastes to decrease their pollution hazard. This involves the processing of solid wastes “prior to” disposal and the treatment of liquid wastes,or effluents,to permit the reuse of the water or minimize pollution upon final disposal.A second approach is to develop all economic use for all or a part of the wastes. Farm manure is spread in fields as a nutrient or organic supplement. Effluents from sewage disposal plants are used in some areas both for irrigation and for the nutrients contained. Effluents from other processing plants may also be used as a supplemental source of water. Many industries,such as meat and poultry processing plants,are currently converting former waste products into marketable byproducts. Other industries are potential economic uses for waste products.41.The purpose of this passage is .A.to alert the reader to the dwindling water supplyB.to explain industrial uses of waterC.to acquaint the reader with water pollution problemD.to demonstrate various measures to solve the pollution problem42.Which of the following points is NOT included in the passage?A.Industrial development includes the simplification of complex chemical processes.B.Diluting wastes needs certain amount of water.C.Demands for water will go up along with the expanding population.D.Intensive cultivation of land requires more and more chemicals.43.The reader can conclude that .A.countries of the world will work together on pollution problemB.byproducts from wastes lead to a more prosperous marketplaceC.science is making great progress on increasing water suppliesD.some industries are now making economic use of wastes44.The author develops the passage through the use of .A.interviews with authorities in the field of water controlsB.opinions and personal observationsC.definitions which clarify important termsD.strong arguments and persuasions45.The phrase “prior to”(Para. 2)probably means .A. afterB. duringC. beforeD. beyondDiana Jacob thought her family had a workable plan to pay for college for her 21 year old twin sons：a combination of savings, income, scholarships, and a modest amount of borrowing. Then her husband lost his job, and the plan fell apart.“l have two kids in college, and I want to say‘come home’, but at the same time I want to provide them with a good education, ”says Jacob.The Jacob family did work out a solution：They asked and received more aid from the schools, and each son increased his borrowing to the maximum a mount through the federal loan program. They will each graduate with ＄20,000 of debt, but at least they will be able to finish school.With unemployment rising,financial aid administrators expect to hear more families like the Jacobs. More students are applying for aid, and more families expect to need student loans. College administrators are concerned that they will not have enough aid money to go around.At the same time, tuition continues to rise. A report from the National Center for Public Policy and Higher Education found that college tuition and fees increased 439％from 1982 to 2007, while average family income rose just 147％. Student borrowing has more than doubled in the last decade.“If we go on this way for another 25 years, we won’t have an affordable system of higher education, ”says Patrick M. Callan, president of the center. “The middle class families have been financing it through debt. They will send kids to college whatever it takes, even if that means a huge amount of debt.”Financial aid administrators have been having a hard time as many companies decide that student loans are not profitable enough and have stopped making them. The good news, however,is that federal loans account for about three quarters of student borrowing, and the government says that money will flow uninterrupted.46.According to the first paragraph, why did the plan of Jacob family f ail?A.The twins wasted too much money.B.The father was out of work.C.Their savings ran out.D.The family fell apart.47.How did the Jacobs manage to solve their problem?A.They asked their kids to come home.B.They borrowed＄20,000 from the school.C.They encouraged their twin sons to do part time jobs.D.They got help from the school and the federal government.48.Financial aid administrators believe that .A.more families will face the same problem as the JacobsB.the government will receive more letters of complaintC.college tuition and fees will double soonD.America’s unemployment will fall49.What can we learn about the middle class families from the text?A.They blamed the government for the tuition increase.B.Their income remained steady in the last decade.C.They will try their best to send kids to college.D.Their debts will be paid off within 25 years.50.According to the last paragraph，the government will .A.provide most students with scholarshipsB.dismiss some financial aid administratorsC.stop the companies from making student loansD.go on providing financial support for college studentsPart Ⅲ Cloze(1×20 points)Directions: There are 20 blanks in the following passage. For each blank there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should choose the ONE that best fits into the passage and mark the corresponding letter on the ANSWER SHEET.“Long time no see”is a very interesting sentence.

Each passage is followed by some questions or incomplete statements. 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 OneI’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 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 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 ne ws 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 w ait a bit and see what happens. Perhaps Mother 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 relative 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 loved her grandchildren very much.B. Judy had no brothers or sisters to look after her mother.C. Mrs. Morris was coming to live with the Carsons, so they asked the speaker to move.D. The Carsons once suggested that Mrs. Morris go to live in a nursing home.B. Because she did not want to leave her own house．C. Because she was in rather poor health and could not come．D. Because the speaker lived in the basement room and there was no other room for her to live in．65. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. Family Relationships is Canada．B. The Boarder．C. My Landlady．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 the road is dangerous.The purpose of these bridges is to enable pedestrians to cross roads safely. Overhead bridges are used to very much the same way as zebra crossings. They are more efficient although less convenient 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. They are safer for pedestrians and can keep traffic moving at the same time.B. Pedestrians can climb up and have a view of the city.C. Taller trucks can pass under them.D. They are easier and more convenient for the pedestrians.67. Why were overhead bridges built in Beijing?A. Because they save money for the government.B. Because they provide an easy way for the drivers to cross the road.C. Because they prevent traffic from being held up.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 places where traffic is heavy.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 every part of Beijing.B. a wild animal from Africa that looks like a horse with broad dark brown and white stripes on itsbodyC. a safe place across a road for zebras to walk across the roadD. a safe place across a road for pedestrians to walk across the road70. What is the writer’s attitude towards overhead bridges?A. It is inconvenient to older people to walk across the road.B. To build overhead bridges is the business of the governmentC. An overhead bridge is more beautiful than a zebra crossing.D. It is much safer for pedestrians though climbing up and down the steps may be a little difficult.Passage ThreeThere was a time when, if a lady got onto a crowded bus or train, a gentleman would immediately stand up and offer her his seat. No more, though. Today, a gentleman will probably look out of the window, or, if he feels a bit guilty, 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. The days are gone when women could be referred to as the weaker sex. A whole generation of women has grown up demanding equality with men; not just equality in jobs or education, but in social attitudes. Hold a door open for some women and you’re likely to get an angry lecture on treating women as inferiors (能⼒低下的⼈) unable to open door for themselves. Take a girl out for a meal and she’ll probably insist on paying her share of the bill; though on second thoughts, perhaps that’s not such a bad idea.It’s no wonder that men have given up some of the gestures of politeness and consideration which they used to show towards women. On the other hand, automatic male (man) politeness is perhaps slowly being replaced by true consideration for the needs of women, so that men can seewomen as equal human beings.Maybe that’s worth standing in the bus or train.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 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 sex74. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT correct?A. Some women may get angry of 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 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 t heirs 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 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 (嫁妆). It is very different today. Most girls of today get a job when they leave school and become financiallyindependent 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 nations have different families.C. Different definitions could be given to the word.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. financial while the wife is running the homeC. defending the family while the wife is running the homeD. independent while the wife is dependent78. Everything is decided in a family ____.A. by brothers and sistersB. with the help of their parentsC. by the coupleD. 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 provides a lot of information of former time wealthy families.D. It gives quite some idea of English social life in the past.80. With regard to marriage in Britain, present-day girls differ from former time girls in ____.A. social positionB. more parental supportC. choosing husbandsD. the right to marryPart IV.

Each passage is followed by somequestions or incomplete statements. For each of them there are four choicesmarked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and then mark thecorresponding letter on the ANSWER SHEET.Of all the foods we know, fruit is one of the most healthful. It is also one ofthe most tasty foods. Almost everyone enjoys fruit. Fruit is grown in almostevery part of the world. There are hundreds of different kinds of fruits. Andthere are thousands of different varieties. In the United States alone, thereare several hundred types of apples.In general thought, there are separate groups. There are tropicalfruits. These are most important. In this group, we have bananas andpineapples. They are shipped from tropical countries and are eaten all over theworld.Next come the subtropical fruits. The most important of these arethe citrus (柑橘属果树) fruits. Oranges,tangerines (柑橘), limes (酸橙), and grapefruit are favorites. Other fruits in thisclass are figs, dates, and olives.The last group comes from the temperate zone. In this grouparepears, apples, grapes, and plums. Many kinds of berries fit this group, too.Fruits are very important to the human diet. Besides being tasty, they provideimportant acids, salts, and vitamins. Also, they are easy to digest. Nutritionexperts say that the more fruit people eat, the healthier they become.31. Of all the foods we know, fruit is one of the most _______.A. colorfulB. healthfulC.deliciousD. Both B and C32. Pineapples are grown in _______ climate.A. cold and dryB. hot and humidC. snowy and wetD. mild and dry33. Among the following, _______ belong to citrus fruits.A. tangerinesB. pineapplesC. grapesD. apples34. Strawberries probably belong to _______.A. tropical fruitsB. subtropical fruitsC. temperate fruitsD. None of theabove35. Fruits are popular because they are easy to _______.A. plantB. digestC.serveD. taste Most people who bother with the matter at all would admit thatthe Englishlanguage is in a bad way, but it is generally assumed that we cannot byconscious action do anything about it. Our civilization is decadent (堕落的) and our language — so the argument runs — mustinevitably share in the general collapse. It follows that any struggle againstthe abuse of language is a sentimental archaism (拟古), like preferring candles to electric light orhandsome cabs to airplanes. Underneath this lies the half conscious belief that language is a natural growth andnot an instrument which we shape for our own purposes.Now it is clear that the decline of a language must ultimatelyhave political and economical causes: it is not due to the bad influence ofthis or that individual writer. But an effect can become a cause, reinforcingthe original cause and producing the same effect in an intensified form, and soon indefinitely.A man may take to drink because he feels himself to be afailure, and then fail all the more completely because he drinks. It is ratherthe same thing that is happening to the English language. It becomes ugly andinaccurate because our thoughts are foolish, but the slovenliness of ourlanguage makes it easier for us to have foolish thoughts. The point is that theprocess is reversible. Modern English, especially written English, is full ofbad habits which spread by imitation and which can be avoided if one iswillingto take the necessary trouble. If one gets rid of these habits one can thinkmore clearly, and to think clearly is a necessary first step towards politicalrevival: so that the fight against bad English is not foolish and is not theexclusive concern of professional writers.36. Many people believe that nothing can be done about the English languagebecause _______.A. it has been bad for a long timeB. we live in a decadent civilizationC. there are too many bad writersD. people are too lazy to change their bad habits37. The word “slovenliness” in the second paragraph most probably means_______.A. slow developmentB. careless useC. widespreadD. original influence38. The author believes that _______.A. it is now too late to do anything about the problemB. the decline in the language can be stoppedC. language is a natural growth and cannot be shaped for our own purposesD. the process of an increasingly bad language cannot be stopped39. The author believes the first stage towards the politicalrevival of thelanguage would be _______.A. getting rid of bad habitsB. clear thinkingC. avoiding being foolish about itD. the fight against bad English40. It can be learned from the passage that _______.A. both professional writers and all other people should fight against badEnglishB. professional writers are especially responsible for better language habitsC. bad language habits are inevitable because English is becoming uglyD. any attempt to improve language habits is senseless when people are foolishReading is not the only way to acquire knowledge of preceding work. There isanother large reservoir which may be called experience, and the college studentwill find that every craftsman has something he can teach and will generallyteach gladly to any college student who does not look down upon them with ill concealed disdain. The information from these quartersdiffers from that in textbooks and papers chiefly in that its theoretical part ― the explanations of why things happen ― is frequentlyquite fantastic. But the demonstrationand report of what happens, and how it happens, are sound even if the reportsare in completely unscientific terms. Presently the college student will learn,in this case also, what to accept and what to reject. One important thing for acollege student to remember is that if Aristotle could talk to the fisherman,so can he.Another source of knowledge is the vast store of traditionalpractices handed down from father to son, or mother to daughter, of old countrycustoms, of folklore. All this is very difficult for a college student toexplore, for much knowledge and personal experience is needed here to separategood plants from wild weeds. The college student should learn to realize andremember how much of real value science has found in this wide, confusedwilderness and how often scientific discoveries turned out to be rediscoveriesof what had existed in this wilderness long ago.41. The phrase “this wide, confused wilderness” in paragraph2 refers to_______ .A. personal experienceB. wild weeds among good plantsC. the information from the parentsD. the vast store of traditional practices42. Which of the following statements is supported by the passage?A. The college students have trouble separating good plants from wild weeds.B. Craftsman’s experience is usually unscientific.C. The contemptuous college students will receive no instructions fromcraftsmen.D. Traditional practices are as important as experience for the collegestudent.43. From this passage we can infer that _______ .A. we’ll invite the craftsman to teach in the collegeB. schools and books are not the only access to knowledgeC. scientific discoveries are based on personal experienceD. discoveries and rediscoveries are the most important source of knowledge44. The author advises the college student to _______ .A. be ill concealed toward thecraftsmanB. be patient in helping the craftsman with scientific termsC. learn the craftsman’s experience with acritical eyeD. obtain the craftsman’s experience withoutrejection45. The main idea of this passage is about _______ .A. what to learn from the parentsB. how to acquire knowledgeC. why to learn from the craftsmanD. how to deal with experience。

You should decide on the best choice and then mark the corresponding letter on the ANSWER SHEET.Children have their own rules in playing games. They seldom need a referee( 裁判)and rarely trouble to keep scores. They don’t care much about who wins or loses, and it doesn’t seem to worry them if the game is not finished. Yet, they like gamesthat depend a lot on luck, so that their personal abilities cannot be directly compared. They also enjoy games that move in stages, in which each stage, the choosing of leaders, the picking up of sides, or the determining of which side shall start, is almost a game in itself.Grown ups can hardly find children’s games exciting, and they often feel puzzled at why their kids play such simple games again and again. However, it is found that a child plays games for very important reasons. He can be a good player without having to think whether he is a popular person, and he call find himself being a useful partner to someone of whom he is ordinarily afraid. He becomes a leader when it comes to his turn. He can be confident, too, in particular games, that it is his place to give orders, to pretend to be dead, to throw a ball actually at someone, or to kiss someone he has caught.It appears to us that when children play a game they imagine a situation under their control. Everyone knows the rules, and more importantly,everyone plays according to the rules. Those rules may be childish, but they make sure that every child has a chance to win.31.What is true about children when they play games?A.They can stop playing any time they like.B.They can test their personal abilities.C.They want to pick up a better team.D.They don’t need rules.32.To become a leader in a game the child has to .A.play wellB.wait for his turnC.be confident in himselfD.be popular among his playmates33.What do we know about grown ups?A.They ale not interested in games.B.They find children’s games too easy.C.They don’t need a reason to play gaines.D.They don’t understand children’s games.34.Why does a child like playing games?A.Because he can be someone other than himself.B.Because he can become popular among friends.C.Because he finds he is always lucky in games.D.Because he likes the place where he plays a game.35.The writer believes that .A.children should make better rules for their gamesB.children should invite grown ups to play with themC.children’s games can do them a lot of goodD.children play games without reasonsThe food we eat seems to have profound effects on our health. Although science has made enormous steps in making food more fit to eat, it has, at the same time, made many foods unfit to eat. Some researches have shown that perhaps eighty percent of all human illnesses are related to diet and forty percent of cancer is related to diet as well, especially cancer of the colon. Different cultures are more likely to cause certain different illnesses because of the food that is characteristic of these cultures. That food is related to illness is not a new discovery. In 1945, about 35 years ago, government researchers realized that nitrates(硝酸盐), commonly used to preserve the color in meats, and other food additives, caused cancer. Yet, these carcinogenic additives remain in our food, and i t becomes more difficult all the time to know which things on the packaging labels of processed food are helpful or harmful. The additives which weeat are not all so direct. Farmers often give penicillin to beef and living animals, and because of this, penicillin has been found in the milk of treated cow. Sometimes similar drugs are given to animals not for medical purposes, but for financial reasons. The farmers are simply trying to fatten the animals in order to obtain a higher price on the market. Although the Food mad Drug Administration(FDA) has tried repeatedly to control these procedures, the practices continue.36.What is the best title of the passage?A. Drug and FoodB. Cancer and HealthC. Food and HealthD. Health and Drug37.Which of the following statements is NOT true?A.Drugs are always given to animals for medical reasons.B.Some of the additives in our food are added to the food itself and some are given to the living animals.C.Researchers have known about the potential dangers of food additives for over thirty five years.D.Food may cause forty percent of cancer in the world.38.How has science done something harmful to mankind?A.Because of science，diseases caused by polluted food have been virtually eliminated.B.It has caused a lack of information concerning the value of food.C.Because of the application of science，some potentially harmful substances have been added to food.D.The scientists have preserved the color of meats，but not of vegetables.39.What are nitrates used for?A.They preserve flavor in packaged foods.B.They preserve the color of meats.C.They are the objects of research.D.They cause the animals to become fatter.40.The word “carcinogenic” most nearly means “”.A. trouble makingB. color retainingC. money makingD. cancer causingWater problems in the future will become more intense and more complex. Our increasing population will tremendously increase urban wastes, primarily sewage. On the other hand, increasing demands for water will decrease substantially the amount of water available for diluting wastes. Rapidly expanding industries which involve more and more complex chemical processes will produce large volumes of liquid wastes, and many of these will contain chemicals which are noxious. To feed our rapidly expanding population, agriculture will have to be intensified. This will involve ever increasing q uantities of agricultural chemicals. From this,it is apparent that drastic steps must be taken immediately to develop corrective measures for the pollution problem.There are two ways by which this pollution problem can be dwindled. The first relates to the treatment of wastes to decrease their pollution hazard. This involves the processing of solid wastes “prior to” disposal and the treatment of liquid wastes,or effluents,to permit the reuse of the water or minimize pollution upon final disposal.A second approach is to develop all economic use for all or a part of the wastes. Farm manure is spread in fields as a nutrientor organic supplement. Effluents from sewage disposal plants are used in some areas both for irrigation and for the nutrients contained.

Then her husband lost his job, and the plan fell apart.“l have two kids in college, and I want to say‘come home’, but at the same time I want to provide them with a good education, ”says Jacob.The Jacob family did work out a solution：They asked and received more aid from the schools, and each son increased his borrowing to the maximum a mount through the federal loan program. They will each graduate with ＄20,000 of debt, but at least they will be able to finish school.With unemployment rising,financial aid administrators expect to hear more families like the Jacobs. More students are applying for aid, and more families expect to need student loans. College administrators are concerned that they will not have enough aid money to go around.At the same time, tuition continues to rise. A report from the National Center for Public Policy and Higher Education found that college tuition and fees increased 439％from 1982 to 2007,while average family income rose just 147％. Student borrowing has more than doubled in the last decade.“If we go on this way for another 25 years, we won’t have an affordable system of higher education, ”says Patrick M. Callan, president of the center. “The middle class families have been financing it through debt. They will send kids to college whatever it takes, even if that means a huge amount of debt.”Financial aid administrators have been having a hard time as many companies decide that student loans are not profitable enough and have stopped making them. The good news, however,is that federal loans account for about three quarters of student borrowing, and the government says that money will flow uninterrupted.46.According to the first paragraph, why did the plan of Jacob family f ail?A.The twins wasted too much money.B.The father was out of work.C.Their savings ran out.D.The family fell apart.47.How did the Jacobs manage to solve their problem?A.They asked their kids to come home.B.They borrowed＄20,000 from the school.C.They encouraged their twin sons to do part time jobs.D.They got help from the school and the federal government.48.Financial aid administrators believe that .A.more families will face the same problem as the JacobsB.the government will receive more letters of complaintC.college tuition and fees will double soonD.America’s unemployment will fall49.What can we learn about the middle class families fromthe text?A.They blamed the government for the tuition increase.B.Their income remained steady in the last decade.C.They will try their best to send kids to college.D.Their debts will be paid off within 25 years.50.According to the last paragraph，the government will .A.provide most students with scholarshipsB.dismiss some financial aid administratorsC.stop the companies from making student loansD.go on providing financial support for college studentsPart Ⅲ Cloze(1×20 points)Directions: There are 20 blanks in the following passage.

You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on theAnswer 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!51. The difference in time between zones is _________ ．A) more than seven daysB) twenty-four hoursC) one hourD) seven days52.

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 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. American universities _________ to international students at the undergraduate levelA) 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 thecentre.山东省2012年普通高等教育专升本统一考试英语试卷二第四部分翻译（本大题共10小题，每小题2分，共20分）Part IV TransalationSection ADirections:Put the following sentences into Chinses.All of them are taken from the passages you have just read.71 Traveling west, you set your clock back; traveling 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 you pay all or some college costs._______________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________Section BDirections:Put the following sentences intoEmglish.76 我喜欢农村生活胜过城市生活。

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and then mark the corresponding letter on the ANSWER SHEET.Of all the foods we know, fruit is one of the most healthful. It is also one of the most tasty foods. Almost everyone enjoys fruit. Fruit is grown in almost every part of the world. There are hundreds of different kinds of fruits. And there are thousands of different varieties. In the United States alone, there are several hundred types of apples.In general thought, there are separate groups. There are tropical fruits. These are most important. In this group, we have bananas and pineapples. They are shipped from tropical countries and are eaten all over the world.Next come the subtropical fruits. The most important of these are the citrus (柑橘属果树) fruits. Oranges,tangerines (柑橘), limes (酸橙), and grapefruit are favorites. Other fruits in this class are figs, dates, and olives.The last group comes from the temperate zone. In this group are pears, apples, grapes, and plums. Many kinds of berries fit this group, too.Fruits are very important to the human diet. Besides being tasty, they provide important acids, salts, and vitamins. Also, they are easy to digest. Nutrition experts say that the more fruit people eat, the healthier they become.31. Of all the foods we know, fruit is one of the most _______.A. colorfulB. healthfulC.deliciousD. Both B and C32. Pineapples are grown in _______ climate.A. cold and dryB. hot and humidC. snowy and wetD. mild and dry33. Among the following, _______ belong to citrus fruits.A. tangerinesB. pineapplesC. grapesD. apples34. Strawberries probably belong to _______.A. tropical fruitsB. subtropical fruitsC. temperate fruitsD. None of the above35. Fruits are popular because they are easy to _______.A. plantB. digestC.serveD. tasteMost people who bother with the matter at all would admit that the English language is in a bad way, but it is generally assumed that we cannot by conscious action do anything about it. Our civilization is decadent (堕落的) and our language — so the argument runs — must inevitably share in the general collapse. It follows that any struggle against the abuse of language is a sentimental archaism (拟古), like preferring candles to electric light or handsome cabs to airplanes. Underneath this lies the half conscious belief that language is a natural growth and not an instrument which we shape for our own purposes.Now it is clear that the decline of a language must ultimately have politicaland economical causes: it is not due to the bad influence of this or that individual writer. But an effect can become a cause, reinforcing the original cause and producing the same effect in an intensified form, and soon indefinitely. A man may take to drink because he feels himself to be a failure, and then fail all the more completely because he drinks. It is rather the same thing that is happening to the English language. It becomes ugly and inaccurate because our thoughts are foolish, but the slovenliness of our language makes it easier for us to have foolish thoughts. The point is that the process is reversible. Modern English, especially written English, is full of bad habits which spread by imitation and which can be avoided if one is willing to take the necessary trouble. If one gets rid of these habits one can think more clearly, and to think clearly is a necessary first step towards political revival: so that the fight against bad English is not foolish and is not the exclusive concern of professional writers.36. Many people believe that nothing can be done about the English language because _______.A. it has been bad for a long timeB. we live in a decadent civilizationC. there are too many bad writersD. people are too lazy to change their bad habits37. The word “slovenliness” in the second paragraph most probably means_______.A. slow developmentB. careless useC. widespreadD. original influence38. The author believes that _______.A. it is now too late to do anything about the problemB. the decline in the language can be stoppedC. language is a natural growth and cannot be shaped for our own purposesD. the process of an increasingly bad language cannot be stopped39. The author believes the first stage towards the political revival of the language would be _______.A. getting rid of bad habitsB. clear thinkingC. avoiding being foolish about itD. the fight against bad English40. It can be learned from the passage that _______.A. both professional writers and all other people should fight against bad EnglishB. professional writers are especially responsible for better language habitsC. bad language habits are inevitable because English is becoming uglyD. any attempt to improve language habits is senseless when people are foolishReading is not the only way to acquire knowledge of preceding work. There is another large reservoir which may be called experience, and the college student will find that every craftsman has something he can teach and will generally teach gladly to any college student who does not look down upon them with ill concealed disdain. The information from these quarters differs from that in textbooks and papers chiefly in that its theoretical part ―the explanations of why things happen ―isfrequently quite fantastic. But the demonstration and report of what happens, and how it happens, are sound even if the reports are in completely unscientific terms. Presently the college student will learn,in this case also, what to accept and what to reject. One important thing for a college student to remember is that if Aristotle could talk to the fisherman,so can he.Another source of knowledge is the vast store of traditional practices handed down from father to son, or mother to daughter, of old country customs, of folklore. All this is very difficult for a college student to explore, for much knowledge and personal experience is needed here to separate good plants from wild weeds. The college student should learn to realize and remember how much of real value science has found in this wide, confused wilderness and how often scientific discoveries turned out to be rediscoveries of what had existed in this wilderness long ago.41. The phrase “this wide, confused wilderness” in paragraph 2 refers to_______ .A. personal experienceB. wild weeds among good plantsC. the information from the parentsD. the vast store of traditional practices42. Which of the following statements is supported by the passage?A. The college students have trouble separating good plants from wild weeds.B. Craftsman’s experience is usually unscientific.C. The contemptuous college students will receive no instructions from craftsmen.D. Traditional practices are as important as experience for the college student.43. From this passage we can infer that _______ .A. we’ll invite the craftsman to teach in the collegeB. schools and books are not the only access to knowledgeC. scientific discoveries are based on personal experienceD. discoveries and rediscoveries are the most important source of knowledge44. The author advises the college student to _______ .A. be ill concealed toward the craftsmanB. be patient in helping the craftsman with scientific termsC. learn the craftsman’s experience with a critical eyeD. obtain the craftsman’s experience without rejection45. The main idea of this passage is about _______ .A. what to learn from the parentsB. how to acquire knowledgeC. why to learn from the craftsmanD. how to deal with experience。
河南专升本2012年专业英语考试题---含答案(下)
2012年河南专升本的同学发送【所在学校】到30417855加群有共享The problem of what to do with atomic waste, the harmful unwanted products of atomic energy, is being studied by many scientific minds.Large atomic reactors produce harmful radioactive elements at the same time that they produce energy. The atomic waste is so powerful that it will be a danger for centuries. What can be done with it?Where can it be placed so that it will not harm human beings?No one now has the final answer, but hundreds of scientists are searching for it.What would you do with radioactive atomic waste? Mix it with water and pour it in the ocean? You would not do that if you lived near the water. A box the size of a package of cigarettes would hold the radioactive waste produced by an atomic reactor in five minutes. If you poured it into a body of water more than one hundred miles long and about fifteen miles wide,this small amount of atomic waste could be discovered by a Geiger counter anywhere within its harbors and bays in less than twenty-four hours. This shows the great size of the problem of what to do with atomic waste.Atomic waste cannot be burned, boiled away, or made harmless by mixing it with other minerals. We are not working with a substance that can be destroyed. We are trying to destroy energy, and that is impossible.The only thing we can do is to keep the waste in a place where it will be harmless.Throwing it into the ocean is one method that has been tried. Atomic waste is placed in metal barrels that are then put in containers as thick and strong as stone. The cases are taken to the deepest part of the ocean and thrown in. For several reasons, however, throwing the atomic waste into the ocean is not a final answer to the problem.First, the cost of preparing the double containers and taking them to sea is very great. Second, it is not known how long these strong cases can endure the deep ocean currents. How long will it be before the meta land stone cases are broken open by the force of the water? How great a danger will the atomic waste be when it escapes into the deep ocean.46. Which of the following describes the author’s purpose in writing the above passage?A. To explain and inform.B. To question and criticize.C. To amuse and entertain.D. None of the above.47. Those are the reasons why the atomic waste is so difficult to deal with except _______.A. it can not be burned or boiled awayB. it can be neutralized with other elementsC. its radioactive elements will do harm to environmentD. it is too powerful and its energy can not be destroyed48. From paragraph 4 we know _______.A. people find a good way to deal with atomic wasteB. radioactive elements can melt in waterC. atomic waste can travel very slow in waterD. even small amount of atomic waste has great polluting power49. It can be inferred from the passage _______.A. atomic waste is a great treasure to human beingsB. there is no other place where people can throw atomic wasteC. it is easy to throw atomic waste into waterD. at present the most practical way to deal with atomic waste is to throw it into the ocean50. What do you think the author would talk about after the passage?A. Where we can find radioactive mineral.B. Places where people can throw atomic waste.C. The use of atomic energy.D. The danger of the atomic waste under the sea.Part III Cloze (20 points)Directions: There are 20 blanks in the following passage. For each blank there are four choices marked A, B, C and D.

Reading Comprehension (40 points)Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or incomplete statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice, andmark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneThe advantages and disadvantages of a large population have long been a subject of discussion among economists. It has been argued that the supply of good land is limited. To feed a large population, inferior land must be cultivated and the good land worked intensively. Thus, each person produces less and this means a lower average income than could be obtained with a smaller population. Other economists have argued that a large population gives more scope for specialization and the development of facilities such as ports, roads and railways, which are not likely to be built unless there is a big demand to justify them.One of the difficulties in carrying out a world-wide birth control program lies in the fact that official attitudes to population growth vary from country to country depending on the level of industrial development and the availability of food and raw materials. In the developing country where a vastly expanded population is pressing hard upon the limits of food, space and natural resources, it will be the first concern of government to place a limit on the birthrate, whatever the consequences may be. In a highly industrialized society the problem may be more complex. A decreasing birthrate may lead to unemployment because it results in a declining market for manufactured goods. When the pressure of population on housing declines, prices also decline and the building industry is weakened. Faced with considerations such as these, the government of a developed country may well prefer to see a slowly increasing population, rather than one which is stable or in decline.41. A small population may mean _ .A. higher productivity, and a lower average incomeB. lower productivity, but a higher average incomeC. lower productivity and a lower average incomeD. higher productivity and a higher average income42. According to the passage, a large population will provide a chance for developing .A. agricultureB. transport systemC. industryD. national economy43. According to the passage, slowly rising birthrate perhaps is good for.A. a developing nationB. a developed nationC. every nation with a big populationD. every nation with a small population44. In a developed country, people will perhaps go out of work if the birth rate .A. goes upB. goes downC. remains stableD. is out of control45. It is no easy job to carry out a general plan for birth control throughout the world because .A. there are too many underdeveloped countries in the worldB. underdeveloped countries have low level of industrial developmentC. different governments have different views of the questionD. even developed countries may have complex problemsPassage TwoToday a pilot is totally dependent on what the air traffic controller on the ground tells him. He can’t see enough to be safe. Flight watch is an instrument intended to help him.On a screen in front of the pilot. There will be a map of the airspace around the plane. The pilot’s own flight level or height and his own plane at the center of the screen will show up. On the map any other planes in the airspace will appear as blobs of light with “tails” showing the direction of their flight. The Flight watch map is unusual, for the other planes are not shown at their true ranges, but at their distances away in flying time. That gets over the problem of fast planes being too far away to be seen but likely to make contact in seconds and slow planes that are close enough to be seen but so slow that there’s no chance of contact for, say, ten minutes.The pilot will be able to see on the screen whether another plane’s course conflicts with his own. The screen will show him the flight number of the other plane, so he can contact air traffic control and ask them about the other plane’s course. Then he c an take avoiding action if necessary. The screen will show him whether his actionputs him in danger from yet another aircraft.Technically, the system will be quite complex. Computers will be necessary on the ground and in each aircraft to enable Fligh t watch to collect data about the planes’ courses and to calculate the distances between planes. But such small computers are now quite cheap, simple and reliable.46. For his safe flight, what is a pilot dependent on?A. Flight watch.B. The air traffic controller in the plane.C. The command of the air traffic controller on the ground.D. The pilot himself.47. Which of the following can help the pilot to keep contact with the air traffic controller?A. The screen.B. A computer.C. The passage doesn’t mention it.D. Flight watch.48. The Flight watch is to use.A. quite complexB. quite simpleC. expensiveD. cheap49. The main parts of the Flight watch are .A. computersB. a screen and certain computersC. blobs and tailsD. a Flight watch map and small computers50. The computers are .A. smallB. neither large nor smallC. largeD. not mentionedPassage ThreeAre you carrying too much on your back at school? I’m sure lots of children of your age will say “Yes”. Not only the students in China have this problem, but children in the United States also have heavy schoolbags.Doctors are starting to worry that younger students are having back and neck problems as a result ofschoolbags being too heavy for them.“It’s hard for me to go upstairs with my bag because it’s so heavy,” said Rick Hammond, an 11-year-oldstudent in the US.Rick is among students who have common schoolbags with two straps to carry them, but many other studentschoose rolling (有滚轮的) bags.But even with rolling bags, getting up stairs and buses is still a problem for children. Many of them have hurt their backs and necks because of the heavy schoolbags.But how much is too much? Doctors say students should carry no more than 10% to 15% of their own bodyweight.Scott Smith, a back doctor, said children under Grade 4 should stay with 10%.

It is this immediate care and attention before the arrival of the ambulance (救护车) that sometimes means thedifference between life and death, or a full or partial recovery.First aid has limitations, as not everybody is a doctor or expert, but it is a key element of the total medicalsystem.The principle to be adopted in first aid is immediate action. By-standers (旁观者) or relatives not knowing what to do, or being too fearful to try, have unwisely contributed to unnecessary deaths and worse injuries.It is important that any action taken by the first aid provider is started as quickly as possible. Quick action is necessary to save life and parts of the body. One who is not breathing effectively, or is bleeding(流血) heavily, requires immediate help. If quick effective first aid is provided, then they have a much better chance of a goodrecovery.But it should be remembered that any action taken is to be most careful, and fright (恐惧) by the first aid provider and by-standers will not be good to the whole thing. Try to remain calm and think your action through. A calm and controlled first aider will give everyone confidence that the event is being handled efficiently andeffectively.56. The writer seems to suggest that if you don’t know much about first aid, you should .A. call for help from professionalsB. still try to helpC. stand by and not try to helpD. learn it from a doctor57.

It is easy to carry out first aid if one has the necessary facilities.C. First aid is an important part of the whole treatment.D. First aid may not be effective before a doctor or expert comes.59. The most important thing in providing first aid is to .A. call for an ambulanceB. prevent bleedingC. know what to doD. act quickly60. While offering first aid, the helper should .A. be self-controlledB. have others to assist himC. have confidence in the sick personD. get rid of the by-standersPart Ⅲ.

There may be months or even years between one rainstorm and 65 . The rainwater quickly runs 66 the land, sinks into the sand or evaporates into thedry air.No matter how dry a desert may be, it is 67 to man.

Each passage is followed by some questions or incomplete statements.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 OneI'm a Chinese student studying in Canada. 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 the 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 les s convenient because people have to climb up a long flight of steps. This is inconvenient especially to ol der people. When pedestrains use an overhead bridge, they do not hold up traffic. However, when they cr oss a busy road using a zebra crossing, traffic is held up. This is why the government has built many ov erhead 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 o wn safety, pedestrians 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 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 children to play a game70. 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 little difficult,C. An overhead bridge is more beautiful than a zebra crossing.D. To build overhead bridges is the business of the government.Passage ThreeThere 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 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 b ased 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 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 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.

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.

But thefirst supermarket was opened only fifty years ago. It was opened in New Y ork by aman named Michael Cullen. A Supermarket is different from other types of stores in several ways. In supermarkets, goods are placed on open shelves. The customers choose what they want and take them to the check-out counter(付款台).This means that fewer employees are required than in other stores. The way products are displayed(陈列)is another difference between supermarkets and many other types of stores. For example, in supermarkets, there is usually a display of small inexpensive items just in troutof the check-out counter: candies, chocolates, magazines, cheap books and so on. Why are they there?Most customers who go to a supermarket buy from a hopping list. They know exactly what they need to buy. They shop according to a plan. By the time they reach thecheck-out counter, the customers are feeling pleased and relaxed because the taskof shopping is finished. In this happy mood, the customers see an attractive displayof inexpensive goods that were not on their shopping Lists. Now they feel like buying something just for their own pleasure and enjoyment. Many customers buy from these displays of products near the check-out counter, and this is exactly what the ownerof the supermarket hopes they will do.Another important fact in helping a customer choose what to buy is where a productis placed on a shelf. A product that is placed at eye level on a shelf sells muchbetter than one which is placed on a lower or higher shelf. A product which is easyto see sells best. Manufactures pay a higher price to have their products placed ateye level on the shelves. The comfort and convenience of shopping centers is another factor which makes them popular with customers. Large parking spaces are provided, and many supermarkets stay open until very late at night.31.According to the passage, which statement is NOT true?a. The first supermarket was opened only half a century ago.b. A supermarket is different from other kinds of stores in two ways.c. The first supermarket was opened in New Y ork.d. Today supermarkets are found almost every big city.32.A product that is placed______ sells best.a. as high as one's eyesb. as high as one's waistc. on a lower shelfd. on a higher shelf33.According to the passage, which statement is true?a. Supermarkets need more clerks than other stores.b. In supermarkets goods are placed on closed shelves.c. The customers prefer supermarkets to other kinds of stores.d. The customers pay any clerk they meet for what they have bought in supermarkets.34.Why do you think shopping centers attract more customers than other kinds of stores?a. They have large parking lots and they stay open until almost midnight.b. They have more kinds of goods.c. They have few employees.d. They display small inexpensive items in front of check-out counters.35.According to the way small inexpensive items ate displayed, we can infer that the owner of a supermarket has a good knowledge of_____a. physiologyb. biologyc. psychologyd. biophysicsPassage 3How men first learned to invent words is unknown, in other words, he origin of language is a mystery All we really know is that men, unlike animals, somehow invented certain sounds to express thoughts and feelings, actions and things, so that theycould communicate with each other, and the later they agreed upon certain signs called letters, which would be combine represent those sounds and which could be written down. Those sounds, whether spoken or written in letters, we call words.The power of words, then lies in their associations---the things they ring upbefore our minds. Words become filled with meaning for us by experience；and the longer we live，the more certain words recall to us the glad and sad events of our past；and the more we read and learn, the more the number of words that mean something tous increases.Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also a press these thoughts in words which appeal powerfully to our minds and emotions This charminguse of words is what we call literary style.Above all the real poet is a master of words. He can convey his meaning in wordswhich sing like music, and which by their position and association can move men I tears. We should, therefore, learn to choose our words carefully and use them accurately, or they will make our speech silly and vulgar.36.The origin of language is_____a. a legend handed down from the pastb. a question difficult to answerc. a problem not yet solvedd. a matter that is hidden or secret37.One of the reasons why men invented certain words to express thought and actions was that______a. they could communicate with each otherb. they could agree on certain singsc. they could combine themd. they could write them down38.The real power of words exists in their_____a. propertiesb. peculiarityc. characteristicsd. representative function39.In expressing their thoughts, great writers are able______a.to confound the readersb.to move men to tearc.to move us to actiond.to confuse our feelings40.Which of the following statements about the real poet is NOT true?a.His style is always charming.b.His poems can move men to tears.c.He is no more than a master of words.d.He can convey his is ear in words which sing like music.Part III.Cloze(10%)Directions：There are 20 blanks in this part.

You should decide on the best choice, and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneI'm a Chinese student studying in Canada. 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) whichI 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 havenever 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.

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.

Overhead bridges are used to very much the same way as zebra cross ings. They are more efficient (效率高的) although les s convenient because people have to climb up a long flight of steps. This is inconvenient especially to old er people. When pedestrains use an overhead bridge, they do not hold up traffic. However, when they cr oss a busy road using a zebra crossing, traffic is hel d up. This is why the government has built many o verhead bridges to help pedestrians and to keep traf fic moving at the same time.The government of Beijing has spent a large a mount of money on building these bridges. For theirown safety, pedestrians should be encouraged to us e them instead of risking (冒…危险) their lives by d ashing across the road. Old people , however , may find it a little difficult climbing up and down the st eps, 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. Pedes trians, both old and young, should make it a habit t o use them. This will prevent unnecessary accidents and loss of life.66. What is the advantage of overhead bridges ment ioned 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 t raffic 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 dri vers 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 accord ing 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 t raffic 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 h orse with broad dark brown and white stripes on it s bodyC. a safe place across a road for zebras to walk across the roadD. a safe place across a road for children to pla y a game70. What is the writer’s attitude towards overhead b ridges?A. It is inconvenient to older people to walk acr oss the road.B. It is much safer for pedestrians though climbi ng up and down the steps may be a little difficult,C. An overhead bridge is more beautiful than a zebra crossing.D. To build overhead bridges is the business of t he government.Passage ThreeThere 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 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 hisnewspaperC. 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 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 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 hashad 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.
