Each passage is followed by five questions.For each question there are four suggested answers marked A,B,C and D.Choose one best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneEvery summer in Australia there is the danger of bush fires .Long periods of hot dry weather cause the grass and trees to become highly inflammable .In addition to the dryness and high temperature,another important factor is the great amount of oil in the leaves of such trees as eucalyptus,gum and ti trees.Fires start very easily ,often spontaneously(自动地，自发地),but usually because of a carelessly thrown cigarette or match,If there is a high wind,the ample supply of air fans the flames into an inferno .The radiant heat vaporizes the oil in the leaves,and the fire travels very quickly,sometimes overtakes fleeing cars and burns passengers to death.Great fires often occur around Christmas,in areas near big cities,causing great loss of life and property.36. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a factor that contributes to great fire danger?A. sultry weatherB. Cigarettes thrown out of car windowsC. Pine forestsD. Windstorm37. According to the passage ,fires erupt when .A. arsonists set matches to leavesB. crude oil contacts inflammable objectsC. tourists throw cigarette ends onto refuse dumpsD. trees start burning of themselves38. Bush fires travel .A. in small wayB. in disorderC. seriouslyD. swiftly39. “Inferno”in the context means“”.A. hellB. place of great heat and fireC. furnace for smelting ironD. fireballPassage TwoIn the water around New York City there is a very small island called liberty Island .On Liberty Island there is a special statue called the Statue of Liberty.It is one of the most famous sights in the world.The Statue of Liberty was a gift from the people of France to the people of the United States. The statue was made by a French sculptor named Frederic Auguste Bartholdi. The inner support system was designed by Gustave Eiffel, the same man who made the famous Eiffel Tower in Paris.Liberty ,of course,means freedom,and the Statue of Liberty was given to the United States to celebrate the one-hundredth anniversary of U.S.independence from England.The statue was built in France,taken apart piece by piece,and then rebuilt in the United States.It was opened for the public on October 28,1886.As you might expect ,the statue is very big.Visitors can ride an elevator from the ground to the bottom of the statue.If they want to ,they can then walk up the 168 steps to reach the head of the statue where they can look out and enjoy the beautiful sight of the city of New York.40. A good title for this selection is .A. Famous Sights in the WorldB. Liberty IslandC. The Statue of LibertyD. A Gift from France41. The world“sights”in the first paragraph means .A. a small presentB. a kind of postcardC. the power of seeingD. something that you can see42. The statue was built in .A. FranceB. the United StatesC. EnglandD. Liberty Island43. We may conclude that the elevator does not .A. go to the topB. go fast enoughC. cost a lot of moneyD. both B and CPassage ThreeMany strange new means of transport have been developed in our century,the strangest of them being perhaps the hovercraft.In 1953,a former electronics engineer in his fifties,Christopher Cockerell,who had turned to boat-building on the Norfolk Broads,suggested an idea on which he had been working for many years to the British government and industrial circles.It was the idea of supporting a craft on a “pad”,or cushion, of low-pressure air,ringed with a curtain of higher pressure air ,Eversince ,people have had difficulty in deciding whether the craft should be ranged among ships ,planes ,or land vehicles_for it is something in between a boat and an aircraft .As a ship builder,Cockerell was trying to find a solution to the problem of the wave resistance which wastes a good deal of a surface‟s power and limits its speed.His answer was to lift the vessel out of the water by making it ride on a cushion of air ,no more than one or two feet thick.This is done by a great number of ringshaped air jets on the bottom of the craft.It“flies”,therefore,but it cannot fly higher_its action depends on the surface,water or ground,over which it rides.44. Which of the following statements is true?A. The engineer had worked out the idea for many years.B. The engineer had been working on the idea for many years.C. The engineer suggested the idea to the British government and industrial circles for many years.D. The British government and industrial circles accepted the idea many years later.45. The engineer‟s suggestion is that he build a craft.A. with support of a pad under itB. with support of a curtain round itC. with support of a pad of airD. with support of a cushion of air made by jet engines46. The word “hovercraft”in line two means.A. a craft which can move over land of waterB. a craft which can fly a short distanceC. a craft which can fly a long distanceD. a craft which can fly in circles47. We may conclude from reading the passage that .A. a hovercraft can not fly high because of the surrounding high-pressure airB. a hovercraft is as much in use as a planeC. a hovercraft“flies”with a greater speed than shipsD. a hovercraft also has the problem of wave resistancePassage FourIt is animals and plants which lived in or near water whose remains are most likely to be preserved ,for one of the necessary conditions of preservation is quick burial ,and it is only in the seas and rivers,and sometimes lakes,where mud and silt have been continually deposited,that bodies and the like can be rapidly covered over and preserved.But even in the most favorable circumstances only a small fraction of the creatures that die are preserved in this way before decay sets in or ,even more likely,before scavengers eat them.After all, all living creatures live by feeding on something else,whether it be plant or animal,dead or alive ,and it is only by chance that such a fate is avoided .The remains of plants and aninmals that lived on land are much more rarely preserved ,for there is seldom anything to cover them over.When you think of the innumerable birds that one sees flying about,not to mention the equally numerous small animals like field mice and voles which you do not see,it is very rarely that one comes across a dead body,except,of course ,on the roads,They decompose and are quickly destroyed by the weather or eaten by some other creatures.48. Quick burial leads to the preservation of .A. a large number of remainsB. a number of remainsC. only a small number of remainsD. few remains49. Which of the following is not true?A. All living creatures die in order to be eaten by others.B. All living creatures can be the food of others.C. All living creatures decay.D. Only a small number of living creatures can avoid being eaten by other.50. Most remains of animals and plants on land can not survive because of .A. bad weatherB. sun-rayC. floodsD. decay51. The best title for this passage is .A. The Origin of Life on EarthB. Life Forms on EarthC. The Discovery of Life on EarthD. The Preservation of the Past Life on EarthPassage Five1970 was World Conservation Year.The United Nations wanted everyone to know that the world is in danger .They hoped that governments would act quickly in order to “conserve”nature.Here is one example of the problem.At one time there were 1,300 different plants,trees and flowers in Holland.But now only 866 remain.The others have been destroyed by modern man and his technology.We are changing the earth ,the air and water,and everthing that grows and lives.We can‟t live without these thing either .If we continue like this,we shall destroy ourselves.What will happen in the future?Pe rhaps it is more important to ask“what must we do now?”The people who will be living in the world of tomorrow are the young of today .A lot of them know that conservation is necessary . Many are helping to save our world .They plant trees,build bridges across rivers in forests,and so on .In a small town in the United States a large group of girls cleaned the banks of 11 kilometres of their river.Young people may hear conservation through a record called“No One‟s Going to Change Our World”.It was made by the Beetles, Cliff Richard and other singers.The money from it will help to conserve wild animals.52. The main idea of the first paragraph is .A. the danger of our worldB.the importance of conservationC. that we‟re destroying ourselvesD. that we are changing our world53. We shall destroy ourselves if we don‟t change.A. governmentsB. modern technologyC. our rivers and forestsD. the United Nations54. “No One’s Gong to Change Our World”was.A. a record calling on people to conserve natureB. a rule worked out by the United NationsC. an important book published in 1970D. an idea that nobody would accept55. People all over the world .A. wonder what to do in the futureB. pay no attention to the UN‟s callC. take no measure in conservationD. should act quickly to answer the UN‟s callV.Daily Conversation(15 points)Directions:Pick out the appropriate expressions from the eight choices below and complete the following dialogues by blackening the corresponding letter on theAnswer Sheet.A.What‟s the matter?B.I‟m sorry to hear thatC.He simply hates me.D.Anyway,cheer up!E.Yeah,but it‟s very hard to find jobs now.F.I‟m all rightG.Let me alone H.How are you?Sarah:You look sad ,Bill. 56Bill:I quarreled with my boss this morning.He almost drove me mad.Sarah:That‟s too bad.Why was that?Bill: 57And I‟m under a lot of pressure.Sarah: 58But things will get better.Bill:Yeah.Sarah:Have you considered a change of scenery?Bill: 59Sarah:It‟s true. 60Bill:I will.Thank you.VI.

They sometimes have different ideas about life, work and play. But in one special program in New York State, adults and teenagers live together in peace. Each summer 200 teenagers and 50 adults live together for eight weeks as membersof a special work group. Everyone works several hours each day. The aim is not just to keep busy but rather to find meaning and enjoyment in work. Some teenagers work in the woods or on the farms near the village. Some learn to make furniture and to build houses. The adults teach them these skills.There are several free hours each day. Weekends are free, too. During the free hours some of the teenagers learn photography or painting. Others sit around talking and singing. Each teenager chooses his own way to spend his free time.When people live together, rules are always necessary. In this program the teenagers and the adults make the rules together. If someone breaks a rule, the problem goes before the whole group. The group discusses the problem. They ask, "Why did it happen? " "What should we do about it? "One of the teenagers has this to say about the experience: " You stop thinking only about yourself. You learn how to think about the group.

He hurried into the living-room. His wife was listening to the radio and eating chocolates there."You'll never guess what happened to me today, dear," he said.He waited for a few seconds and then added, "I won ten thousand pounds on the lottery!""That's wonderful!" said his wife delightedly. But then she thought for a few seconds and added angrily, "But wait a moment!

Computers have come into almost every corner of our lives. Many children use them also in school and play electronic games on them at home. Adults use them for work or pleasure, mostly as word processors, a big improvement over the typewriter. When the computer is used in this way, each one is a separate, unconnected unit.But now all that is changing. With the help of a small piece of equipment called a "modem", your computer terminal (终端) can be connected to a network of millions of other users. Thisnetwork has been called the "electronic highway".At first the main users of this highway were scientists, academics and university students. But with the introduction of more popular subjects and entertainment, many private citizens are crowding onto the electronic highway. Not only can you gain access (进入) to just about any information you want, your computer can also "talk" with other computers on the network. If your hobby is, say, photography, you can link up with other computer users around the world who share your interest.Users can consult their horoscope, check on the weather anywhere in the world or play video games. They can read their favorite book or magazine. They can even look for a marriage partner! They can travel wherever they want --- on the new electronic highway.11.

Reading Comprehension. (2 point for each, altogether 30 points) Directions: There are three passages followed by questions. Beneath each question there are four choices respectively marked by letters A, B, C and D. Choose the right answer for each question. Write your answers on the answer sheet.Passage 1During the rest of sleep，the fatigue of the body disappears. The tired mind gathers new energy；the memory improves；And troubles and problems are seen in better perspective. Some adults require little sleep；Others need eight to ten hours in every twenty-four. Infant sleep sixteen to eighteen hours daily，the amount gradually going less as they grow older. Your students may need twelve hours；University students may need ten. A worker with a physical demanding job may also need ten，whereas an executive working under great pressure may manage on six to eight. Many famous people are reputed to have required little sleep. Napoleon Bonaparte，Thomas Edison，and Charles Darwin apparently averaged only four to six hours a night.Whatever your individual need，you can be sure that by the age of thirty you will have slept for a total of more than twelve years. By that age you will also have developed a sleep routine：favorite hour，a favorite bed，a favorite posture，and a formula you need to follow in order to rest comfortably.Investigators have tried to find out how long a person can go without sleep. Several people have reached more than 115 hours--nearly five days. Whatever the limit，it is absolute. Animals kept awake for from five to eight days have died of exhaustion. The limit for human beings is probably about a week.31. The writer implies that _________.[A] sleep is important for good mental and physical health[B] a light sleep is as restful as a deep sleep[C] memory is improved during sleep[D] sleep is relatively unimportant for human beings32. From the amount of sleep Napoleon，Edison，and Darwin required，we can conclude______________.[A] that they were famous[B] that they were executives[C] that they were intelligent[D] None of the above33. The amount of sleep required may ______________.[A] vary greatly from one individual to another[B] depend on an individual's age[C] be related to an individual's occupation[D] All of the above.34. If a person is not allowed to follow his before-slept routine，he will probably_______________.[A] not sleep well[B] never fall asleep[C] lose his memory[D] begin to daydream35. The longest time a human being can survive without sleep is probably_________.[A] five days[B] ten days[C] seven days[D] twelve daysPassage 2Atoms are all around us. They are the bricks of which everything is made. Many millions of atoms are contained in just one grain of salt，but despite their small size they are very important. The way an everyday object behaves depends on what kinds of atoms are in it and how they act.For instance，you know that most solid objects melt if they get hot enough. Why is this? It is the effect of the heat on the object's atoms. All atoms move constantly. When they are hot，they move faster.Usually the atoms in an object hold together and give the object its shape. But if the object grows hot，its atoms move so fast that they break the force that usually holds them together. They move out of their usual places so that the object loses its shape. Then we say that the object is melting.36. One grain of salt contains ______________ .[A] a few thousand atoms[B] many millions of atoms[C] several heated atoms[D] one million atoms37. The way an object behaves depends on the ______________.[A] kinds of atoms in it[B] number of atoms in it[C] way its atoms behave[D] both A and C38. Heating an object will affect_______________.[A] the movements of its atoms[B] the speed of its atoms[C] the shape of its atoms[D] both A and B39. An object holds its shape because its atoms _______________.[A] usually hold together[B] move very fast[C] are very hot[D] are not moving40. When its atoms leave their usual places，we say that an object is_____________________.[A] shrinking[B] changing places[C] expanding[D] meltingPassage 3Television has opened windows in everybody’s life. Young men will never again go to war as they did in 1914, Millions of people now have seen the effects of a battle. And the result has been a general dislike of war, and perhaps more interest in helping those who suffer from all the terrible things that have been shown on the screen.Television has also changed politics. The most distant areas can now follow state affairs, see and hear the politicians before an election. Better informed, people are more likely to vote, and so to make their opinion count.Unfortunately, television’s influence has been extremely harmful to the young. Children do not have enough experience to realize that TV shows present an unreal world; that TV advertisements lie to sell products that are sometimes bad or useless. They believe that the violence they see is normal and acceptable. All e ducators agree that the “television generations” are more violent than their parents and grandparents.Also, the young are less patient. Used to TV shows, where everything is quick and interesting, they do not have the patience to read an article without pictures; to read a book that requires thinking; to listen to a teacher who doesn’t do funny thing s like the people on children’s programs. And they expect all problems to be solved happily in ten, fifteen, or thirty minutes. That’s the time it takes on the screen.41. In the past, many young people ______________.[A] knew the effects of war[B] went in for politics[C] liked to save the wounded in wars[D] were willing to be soldiers42. Now with TV people can _________.[A] discuss politics at an information center [B] show more interest in politics[C] make their own decisions on political affairs [D] express their opinions freely43. The author thinks that TV advertisements _________.[A] are not reliable on the whole [B] are useless to people[C] are a good guide to adults [D] are very harmful to the young44. Which is NOT true according to the passage?[A] People have become used to crimes now.[B] With a TV set some problems can be solved quickly.[C] People now like to read books with picture.[D] The adults are less violent than the young.45. From the passage, we can conclude that _________.[A] children should keep away from TV[B] TV programs should be improved[C] children’s books should have pictures[D] TV has a deep influence on the youngIV.

Short-range goals are those that usually deal with current activities, which we can apply on a daily basis. Such goals can be achieved in a week or less, or two weeks, or possible months. It should be remembered that just as a building is no stronger than its foundation, our long-term goals cannot amount to very much without the achievement of solid short-term goals. Upon completing our short-term goals, we should date the occasion and then add new short-term goals that will build on those that have been completed.The intermediate goals build on the foundation of the short-range goals. They might deal with just one term of school or the entire school year, or they could even extend for several years. Any time you move a step at a time, you should never allow yourself to become discouraged or overwhelmed. As you complete each step, you will enforce the belief in your ability to grow and succeed.

This time, though, Tracy lost his balance. His head struck the ground, hard.All night, Cory, Tracy’s mother, stood next to her son, who was lying in a hospital bed, his brown eyes fixed in a lifeless stare. She remembered that Tracy had once mentioned organ donation. Maybe I can spare another family this pain, she thought. When the time came, she and her husband Bill signed the forms permitting his organs to be donated.Tracy was declared dead the next day. Twenty=-four hours later, in a Boston hospital, Tracy’s liver was made part of my husband, David, Who was suffering from a hopeless liver disease.Months later, we learned from the local organ bank that the donor’s parents wished desperately to meet someone who had gained life through the gift from their son. A meeting was arranged by the organ bank to bring together two families linked by the most bittersweet ties imaginable.The meeting was risky, but worth it. We talked for 3 hours. They showed us a picture of Tracy. We learned for the first time how he had lived and died. We learned something about Bill and Cory too.For the Marshes, seeing David and knowing he was well seemed to ease their suffering. I’ll never forget seeing David’s tall figure stooped over Cory, her arms around his waist, as a mother would hug a son. For a long time they held each other tight. It was hard to know if she was saying hello or good-bye she was saying both.6.

最新全国卷2021届普通高等学校招生全国统一考试模拟试题(三)英语
全国重点高校统一英语考试模拟试卷三第I卷第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15题；每题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
AAs a young woman who was always interested in style, I got lucky in interning(实习) with a fashion company in Tokyo, last summer.I worked as an assistant in the Business Planning Department, helping with marketing for the 2007 Spring/Summer collections. Fashion is a beautiful industry. But against my expectation, it also has lots of ordinary work. Every day, I would do sample testing, prepare the brochure for future launches, and meet with customers and visitors.Japanese companies had a traditional work style. We had a meeting every morning at 9 o'clock. Every Monday, all employees, including those in other parts of Japan, would take part in a conference call. Every afternoon, after finishing work, each of us would say goodbye to every manager in the company, which took more than five minutes.All of this kept me fresh. And the strict work atmosphere caused me to work harder. At the end of last August, the company's 2007 Spring/Summer collection started with a big show and was very successful. Lots of customers showed an interest in our products, including a businessman from Hong Kong.He went to our company for more details on the products, but he couldn't speak Japanese and none of the staff spoke good English.Just when the situation seemed helpless, I offered to give it a try. I was a Japanese major, but I had also practiced my English often. My translation job was praised by both the customer and my boss. And the guest made a big purchase.The two-month internship taught me a lot about business. And the pay - 150,000 yen, or over 10,000 yuan a month- was enough to cover my daily living costs in Tokyo.Moreover, the experience made me stand out. Every interviewer I've spoken with showed an interest and discussed my internship with me.And thanks to this experience, I've found a good job in one of the Big Four accounting firms and will start working this summer.21. Before she interned(实习) in the fashion company in Tokyo, the writer ______A. did not like the fashion.B. imagined it being beautiful and simply.C. didn’t expect a fashion industry had lots of work as ordinary as normal.D. was nervous about it.22. What would each of the employees in Japanese Companies do every afternoon?A. They do sample testing.B. They meet with customers and visitors.C. They prepare the brochure for future launches.D. They say good bye to every manager.23. Why does the writer work harder?A. Because she is often kept freshB. Because Japanese traditional strict work style causes her to.C. Because a meeting every morning is held.D. Because they hold a conference call every Monday.24. What can you learn from the passage?A. Internship usually plays an important role in finding a good job.B. Chinese are good at English.C. Japanese are good at spoken English.D. And the pay the writer got was enough for her future life.BA Grassroots RemedyMost of us spend our lives seeking the natural world. To this end, we walk the dog, play golf, go fishing, sit in the garden, drink outside rather than inside the pub, have a picnic, live in the suburbs, go to the seaside, buy a weekend place in the country. The most popular leisure activity in Britain is going for a walk. And when joggers (慢跑者) jog, they don’t run the streets. Every one of them instinctively heads to the park or the river. It is my profound belief that not only do we all need nature, but we all seek nature, whether we know we are doing so or not.But despite this, our children are growing up nature-deprived (丧失). I spent my boyhood climbing trees on Streatham Common, South London. These days, children are robbed of these ancient freedoms, due to problems like crime, traffic, the loss of the open spaces and odd new perceptions about what is best for children, that is to say, things that can be bought, rather than things that can be found.The truth is to be found elsewhere. A study in the US: families had moved to better housing and the children were assessed for ADHD—attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (多动症). Those whoseaccommodation had more natural views showed an improvement of 19%; those who had the same improvement in material surroundings but no nice view improved just 4%.A study in Sweden indicated that kindergarten children who could play in a natural environment had less illness and greater physical ability than children used only to a normal playground. A US study suggested that when a school gave children access to a natural environment, academic levels were raised across the entire school.Another study found that children play differently in a natural environment. In playgrounds, children create a hierarchy (等级) based on physical abilities, with the tough ones taking the lead. But when a grassy area was planted with bushes, the children got much more into fantasy play, and the social hierarchy was now based on imagination and creativity.Most bullying (恃强凌弱) is found in schools where there is a tarmac (柏油碎石) playground; the least bullying is in a natural area that the children are encouraged to explore. This reminds me unpleasantly of Sunnyhill School in Streatham, with its harsh tarmac, where I used to hang about in corners fantasising about wildlife.But children are frequently discouraged from involvement with natural spaces, for health and safety reasons, for fear that they might get dirty or that they might cause damage. So, instead, the damage is doneto the children themselves: not to their bodies but to their souls.One of the great problems of modern childhood is ADHD, now increasingly and expensively treated with drugs. Yet one study after another indicates that contact with nature gives huge benefits to ADHD children. However, we spend money on drugs rather than on green places.The life of old people is measurably better when they have access to nature. The increasing emphasis for the growing population of old people is in quality rather than quantity of years. And study after study finds that a garden is the single most important thing in finding that quality.In wider and more difficult areas of life, there is evidence to indicate that natural surroundings improve all kinds of things. Even problems with crime and aggressive behaviour are reduced when there is contact with the natural world.Dr William Bird, researcher from the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds, states in his study, “A natural environment can reduce violent behaviour because its restorative process helps reduce anger and im pulsive behaviour.” Wild places need encouraging for this reason, no matter how small their contribution.We tend to look on nature conservation as some kind of favour that human beings are granting to the natural world. The error here is far too deep: not only do humans need nature for themselves, but the very idea that humanity and the natural world are separable things is profoundly damaging.Human beings are a species of mammals (哺乳动物). For seven million years they lived on the planet as part of nature. Our ancestral selves miss the natural world and long for contact with non-human life. Anyone who has patted a dog, stroked a cat, sat under a tree with a pint of beer, given or received a bunch of flowers or chosen to walk through the park on a nice day, understands that.We need the wild world. It is essential to our well-being, our health, our happiness. Without the wild world we are not more but less civilised. Without other living things around us we are less than human.Five ways to find harmony with the natural worldWalk: Break the rhythm of permanently being under a roof. Get off a stop earlier, make a circuit of the park at lunchtime, walk the child to and from school, get a dog, feel yourself moving in moving air, look, listen, absorb.Sit: Take a moment, every now and then, to be still in an open space. In the garden, anywhere that’s not in the office, anywhere out of the house, away from the routine. Sit under a tree, look at water, feel refreshed, ever so slightly renewed.Drink: The best way to enjoy the natural world is by yourself; the second best way is in company. Take a drink outside with a good person, a good gathering: talk with the sun and the wind with birdsong for background.Learn: Expand your boundaries. Learn five species of bird, five butterflies, five trees, five bird songs. That way, you see and hear more: and your mind responds gratefully to the greater amount of wildness in your life.Travel: The places you always wanted to visit: by the seaside, in the country, in the hills. Take a weekend break, a day-trip, get out there and do it: for the scenery, for the way through the woods, for the birds, for the bees. Go somewhere special and bring specialness home. It lasts forever, after all.25. What does the author say people prefer for their children nowadays?A. Personal freedom.B. Things that are natural.C. Urban surroundings.D. Things that are purchased.26. Children who have chances to explore natural areas ________.A. tend to develop a strong love for scienceB. are more likely to fantasise about wildlifeC. tend to be physically tougher in adulthoodD. are less likely to be involved in bullying27. What does the author suggest we do to help children with ADHD?A. Find more effective drugs for them.B. Provide more green spaces for them.C. Place them under more personal care.D. Engage them in more meaningful activities.28. Dr William Bird suggests in his study that ________.A. humanity and nature are complementary to each otherB. wild places may induce impulsive behaviour in peopleC. access to nature contributes to the reduction of violenceD. it takes a long time to restore nature once damagedCCaught in the WebA few months ago, it wasn't unusual for 47-year-old Carla Toebe to spend 15 hours per day online. She'd wake up early, turn on her laptop and chat on Internet dating sites and instant-messaging programs –leaving her bed for only brief intervals. Her household bills piled up, along with the dishes and dirty laundry, but it took near-constant complaints from her four daughters before she realized she had a problem."I was starting to feel like my whole world was falling apart – kind of slipping into a depression," said Carla. "I knew that if I didn't get off the dating sites, I'd just keep going," detaching (使脱离) herself further from the outside world.Toebe's conclusion: She felt like she was "addicted" to the Internet. She's not alone.Concern about excessive Internet use isn't new. As far back as 1995, articles in medical journals and the establishment of a Pennsylvania treatment center for overusers generated interest in the subject. There's still no consensus on how much time online constitutes too much or whether addiction is possible.But as reliance on the Web grows, there are signs that the question is getting more serious attention: Last month, a study published in CNS Spectrums claimed to be the first large-scale look at excessive Internet use. The American Psychiatric Association may consider listing Internet addiction in the next edition of its diagnostic manual. And scores of online discussion boards have popped up on which people discuss negative experiences tied to too much time on the Web."There's no question that there're people who're seriously in trouble because they're overdoing their Internet involvement," said psychiatrist (精神科医生) Ivan Goldberg. Goldberg calls the problem a disorder rather than a true addiction.Jonathan Bishop, a researcher in Wales specializing in online communities, is more skeptical. "TheInternet is an environment," he said. "You can't be addicted to the environment." Bishop describes the problem as simply a matter of priorities, which can be solved by encouraging people to prioritize other life goals and plans in place of time spent online.The new CNS Spectrums study was based on results of a nationwide telephone survey of more than 2,500 adults. Like the 2005 survey, this one was conducted by Stanford University researchers.About 6% of respondents reported that "their relationships suffered because of excessive Internet use." About 9% attempted to conceal "nonessential Internet use," and nearly 4% reported feeling "preoccupied by the Internet when offline."About 8% said they used the Internet as a way to escape problems, and almost 14% reported they "found it hard to stay away from the Internet for several days at a time.""The Internet problem is still in its infancy," said Elias Aboujaoude, a Stanford professor. No single online activity is to blame for excessive use, he said. "They're online in chat rooms, checking e-mail, or writing blogs. [The problem is] not limited to porn (色情) or gambling" websites.Excessive Internet use should be defined not by the number of hours spent online but "in terms of losses," said Maressa Orzack, a Harvard University professor. "If it's a loss [where] you're not getting to work, and family relationships are breaking down as a result, then it's too much."Since the early 1990s, several clinics have been established in the U. S. to treat heavy Internet users. They include the Center for Internet Addiction Recovery and the Center for Internet Behavior.The website for Orzack's center lists the following among the psychological symptoms of computer addiction:● Having a sense of well-being (幸福) or excitement while at the computer.● Longing for more and more time at the computer.● Neglect of family and friends.● Feeling empty, depressed or irritable when not at the computer.● Lying to employers and family about activities.● Inability to s top the activity.● Problems with school or job.Physical symptoms listed include dry eyes, backaches, skipping meals, poor personal hygiene (卫生) and sleep disturbances.People who struggle with excessive Internet use maybe depressed or have other mood disorders, Orzack said. When she discusses Internet habits with her patients, they often report that being online offers a "sense of belonging, and escape, excitement [and] fun," she said. "Some people say relief…because theyfind themselves so relaxed."Some parts of the Internet seem to draw people in more than others. Internet gamers spend countless hours competing in games against people from all over the world. One such game, called World of Warcraft, is cited on many sites by posters complaining of a "gaming addiction."Andrew Heidrich, an education network administrator from Sacramento, plays World of Warcraft for about two to four hours every other night, but that's nothing compared with the 40 to 60 hours a week he spent playing online games when he was in college. He cut back only after a full-scale family intervention (干预), in which relatives told him he'd gained weight."There's this whole culture of competition that sucks people in" with online gaming, said Heidrich, now a father of two. "People do it at the expense of everything that was a constant in their lives." Heidrich now visits websites that discuss gaming addiction regularly "to remind myself to keep my love for online games in check."Toebe also regularly visits a site where posters discuss Internet overuse. In August, when she first realized she had a problem, she posted a message on a Yahoo Internet addiction group with the subject line: "I have an Internet Addiction.""I'm self-employed and need the Internet for my work, but I'm failing to accomplish my work,to takecare of my home, to give attention to my children," she wrote in a message sent to the group."I have no money or insurance to get professional help; I can't even pay my mortgage (抵押贷款) and face losing everything."Since then, Toebe said, she has kept her promise to herself to cut back on her Internet use. "I have a boyfriend now, and I'm not interested in online dating," she said by phone last week. "It's a lot better now."29. What eventually made Carla Toebe realize she was spending too much time on the Internet?A. Her daughter's repeated complaints.B. Fatigue resulting from lack of sleep.C. The poorly managed state of her house.D. The high financial costs adding up.30. What does the author say about excessive Internet use?A. People should be warned of its harmful consequences.B. It has become virtually inevitable.C. It has been somewhat exaggerated.D. People haven't yet reached agreement on its definition.31. Jonathan Bishop believes that the Internet overuse problem can be solved if people ______.A. try to improve the Internet environmentB. become aware of its serious consequencesC. can realize what is important in lifeD. can reach a consensus on its definitionDColleges taking another look at value of merit-based aid Good grades and high tests scores still matter—a lot—to many colleges as they award financial aid.But with low-income students projected to make up an ever-larger share of the college-bound population in coming years, some schools are re-examining whether that aid, typically known as “merit aid”, is the most effective use of precious institutional dollars.George Washington University in Washington, D.C., for example, said last week that it would cut the value of its average merit scholarships by about one-third and reduce the number of recipients(接受者), pouring the savings, about $2.5 million, into need-based aid. Allegheny College in Meadville, Pa., made a similar decision three years ago.Now, Hamilton College in Clinton, N.Y., says it will phase out merit scholarships altogether. No current merit-aid recipients will lose their scholarships, but need-based aid alone will be awarded beginningwith students entering in fall 2008.Not all colleges offer merit aid; generally, the more selective a school, the less likely it is to do so. Harvard and Princeton, for example, offer generous need-based packages, but many families who don’t meet need eligibility(资格)have been willing to pay whatever they must for a big-name school.For small regional colleges that struggle just to fill seats, merit aid can be an important revenue-builder because many recipients still pay enough tuition dollars over and above the scholarship amount to keep the institution running.But for rankings-conscious schools in between, merit aid has served primarily as a tool to recruit top students and to improve their academic profits. “They’re trying to buy students,” says Skidmore College economist Sandy Baum.Studies show merit aid also tends to benefit disproportionately students who could afford to enroll without it.“As we look to the future, we see a more pressing need to invest in need-based aid,” says Monica Inzer, dean of admission and financial aid at Hamilton, which has offered merit scholarships for 10 years. During that time, it rose in US News & World Report’s ranking of the best liberal arts colleges, from 25 to 17.Merit aid, which benefited about 75 students a year, or about 4% of its student body, at a cost of about$ 1 million a year, “served us well,” Inzer says, but “to be discounting the price for families that don’t need financial aid doesn’t feel right any more.”Need-based aid remains by far the largest share of all student aid, which includes state, federal and institutional grants. But merit aid, offered primarily by schools and states, is growing faster, both overall and at the institutional level.Between 1995-96 and 2003-04, institutional merit aid alone increased 212%, compared with 47% for need-based grants. At least 15 states also offer merit aid, typically in a bid to enroll top students in the state’s public institutions.But in recent years, a growing chorus(异口同声)of critics has begun pressuring schools to drop the practice. Recent decisions by Hamilton and others may be “a sign that people are starting to realize that there’s this destructive competition going on,” says Baum, co-author of a recent College Report that raises concerns about the role of institutional aid not based on need.David Laird, president of the Minnesota Private College Council, says many of his schools would like to reduce their merit aid but fear that in doing so, they would lose top students to their competitors.“No one can take one-sided action,” says Laird, who is exploring whether to seek an exemption(豁免)from federal anti-trust laws so member colleges can discuss how they could jointly reduce merit aid,“This is a merry-go-round that’s going very fast, and none of the institut ions believe they can sustain the risks of trying to break away by themselves.”A complicating factor is that merit aid has become so popular with middle-income families, who don’t qualify for need-based aid, that many have come to depend on it. And, as tuitions continue to increase, the line between merit and need blurs.That’s one reason Allegheny College doesn’t plan to drop merit aid entirely.“We still believe in rewarding superior achievements and know that these top students truly value the sch olarship,” says Scott Friedhoff, Allegheny’s vice president for enrollment.Emory University in Atlanta, which boasts a $4.7 billion endowment(捐赠), meanwhile, is taking another approach. This year, it announced it would eliminate loans for needy students and cap them for middle-income families. At the same time, it would expand its 28-year-old merit program.“Yeah, we’re playing the merit game,” acknowledges Tom Lancaster, associate dean for undergraduate education. But it has its strong point, too, he says. “The fact of the matter is, it’s not just about the lowest-income people. It’s the average American middle-class family who’s being priced out of the market.”*A few words about merit-based aid:Merit-based aid is aid offered to students who achieve excellence in a given area, and is generallyknown as academic, athletic and artistic merit scholarships.Academic merit scholarships are based on students’ grades, GPA and overall academic performance during high school. They are typically meant for students going straight to college right after high school. However, there are scholarships for current college students with exceptional grades as well. These merit scholarships usually help students pay tuition bills, and they can be renewed each year as long as the recipients continue to qualify. In some cases, students may need to be recommended by their school or a teacher as part of the qualification process.Athletic merit scholarships are meant for students that excel(突出)in sports of any kind, from football to track and field events. Recommendation for these scholarships is required, since exceptional athletic performance has to be recognized by a coach or a referee(裁判). Applicants need to send in a tape containing their best performance.Artistic merit scholarships require that applicants excel in a given artistic area. This generally includes any creative field such as art, design, fashion, music, dance or writing. Applying for artistic merit scholarships usually requires that students submit a portfolio(选辑)of some sort, whether that includes a collection of artwork, a recording of a musical performance or a video of them dancing.32. With more and more low-income students pursuing higher education, a number of colleges are________.A. offering students more merit-based aidB. revising their financial aid policiesC. increasing the amount of financial aidD. changing their admission processes33. The chief purpose of rankings-conscious colleges in offering merit aid is to ______.A. improve teaching qualityB. boost their enrollmentsC. attract good studentsD. increase their revenues34. In recent years, merit-based aid has increased much faster than need-based aid due to ______.A. more government funding to collegesB. fierce competition among institutionsC. the increasing number of top studentsD. schools’ improved financial situations35. What is the attitude of many private colleges toward merit aid, according to David Laird?A. They would like to see it reduced.B. They regard it as a necessary evil.C. They think it does more harm than good.D. They consider it unfair to middle-class families.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Reading Comprehension. (2 point for each, altogether 30 points) Directions: There are three passages followed by questions. Beneath each question there are four choices respectively marked by letters A, B, C and D. Choose the right answer for each question. Write your answers on the answer sheet.Passage 1During the rest of sleep，the fatigue of the body disappears. The tired mind gathers new energy；the memory improves；And troubles and problems are seen in better perspective. Some adults require little sleep；Others need eight to ten hours in every twenty-four. Infant sleep sixteen to eighteen hours daily，the amount gradually going less as they grow older. Your students may need twelve hours；University students may need ten. A worker with a physical demanding job may also need ten，whereas an executive working under great pressure may manage on six to eight. Many famous people are reputed to have required little sleep. Napoleon Bonaparte，Thomas Edison，and Charles Darwin apparently averaged only four to six hours a night.Whatever your individual need，you can be sure that by the age of thirty you will have slept for a total of more than twelve years. By that age you will also have developed a sleep routine：favorite hour，a favorite bed，a favorite posture，and a formula you need to follow in order to rest comfortably.Investigators have tried to find out how long a person can go without sleep. Several people have reached more than 115 hours--nearly five days. Whatever the limit，it is absolute. Animals kept awake for from five to eight days have died of exhaustion. The limit for human beings is probably about a week.31. The writer implies that _________.[A] sleep is important for good mental and physical health[B] a light sleep is as restful as a deep sleep[C] memory is improved during sleep[D] sleep is relatively unimportant for human beings32. From the amount of sleep Napoleon，Edison，and Darwin required，we can conclude______________.[A] that they were famous[B] that they were executives[C] that they were intelligent[D] None of the above33. The amount of sleep required may ______________.[A] vary greatly from one individual to another[B] depend on an individual's age[C] be related to an individual's occupation[D] All of the above.34. If a person is not allowed to follow his before-slept routine，he will probably_______________.[A] not sleep well[B] never fall asleep[C] lose his memory[D] begin to daydream35. The longest time a human being can survive without sleep is probably_________.[A] five days[B] ten days[C] seven days[D] twelve daysPassage 2Atoms are all around us. They are the bricks of which everything is made. Many millions of atoms are contained in just one grain of salt，but despite their small size they are very important. The way an everyday object behaves depends on what kinds of atoms are in it and how they act.For instance，you know that most solid objects melt if they get hot enough. Why is this? It is the effect of the heat on the object's atoms. All atoms move constantly. When they are hot，they move faster.Usually the atoms in an object hold together and give the object its shape. But if the object grows hot，its atoms move so fast that they break the force that usually holds them together. They move out of their usual places so that the object loses its shape. Then we say that the object is melting.36. One grain of salt contains ______________ .[A] a few thousand atoms[B] many millions of atoms[C] several heated atoms[D] one million atoms37. The way an object behaves depends on the ______________.[A] kinds of atoms in it[B] number of atoms in it[C] way its atoms behave[D] both A and C38. Heating an object will affect_______________.[A] the movements of its atoms[B] the speed of its atoms[C] the shape of its atoms[D] both A and B39. An object holds its shape because its atoms _______________.[A] usually hold together[B] move very fast[C] are very hot[D] are not moving40. When its atoms leave their usual places，we say that an object is_____________________.[A] shrinking[B] changing places[C] expanding[D] meltingPassage 3Television has opened windows in everybody’s life. Young men will never again go to war as they did in 1914, Millions of people now have seen the effects of a battle. And the result has been a general dislike of war, and perhaps more interest in helping those who suffer from all the terrible things that have been shown on the screen.Television has also changed politics. The most distant areas can now follow state affairs, see and hear the politicians before an election. Better informed, people are more likely to vote, and so to make their opinion count.Unfortunately, television’s influence has been extremely harmful to the young. Children do not have enough experience to realize that TV shows present an unreal world; that TV advertisements lie to sell products that are sometimes bad or useless. They believe that the violence they see is normal and acceptable. All e ducators agree that the “television generations” are more violent than their parents and grandparents.Also, the young are less patient. Used to TV shows, where everything is quick and interesting, they do not have the patience to read an article without pictures; to read a book that requires thinking; to listen to a teacher who doesn’t do funny thing s like the people on children’s programs. And they expect all problems to be solved happily in ten, fifteen, or thirty minutes. That’s the time it takes on the screen.41. In the past, many young people ______________.[A] knew the effects of war[B] went in for politics[C] liked to save the wounded in wars[D] were willing to be soldiers42. Now with TV people can _________.[A] discuss politics at an information center [B] show more interest in politics[C] make their own decisions on political affairs [D] express their opinions freely43. The author thinks that TV advertisements _________.[A] are not reliable on the whole [B] are useless to people[C] are a good guide to adults [D] are very harmful to the young44. Which is NOT true according to the passage?[A] People have become used to crimes now.[B] With a TV set some problems can be solved quickly.[C] People now like to read books with picture.[D] The adults are less violent than the young.45. From the passage, we can conclude that _________.[A] children should keep away from TV[B] TV programs should be improved[C] children’s books should have pictures[D] TV has a deep influence on the youngIV.

大学英语入学模拟试题一、阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
As everyone knows, the IQ, the traditional measure of intelligence, is not the only factor that determines success in life. In recent years, social scientists have come to accept that another kind of intelligence, known as emotional intelligence (EQ), is far more important than IQ in helping people succeed in many areas of life.What exactly is emotional intelligence? It is the ability to empathize with others, control one’s feelings, adapt to differen t situations and maintain good interactions with others. People with high emotional intelligence tend to be successful in both personal and professional life.For example, children with high EQ are more likely to be attentive learners, have good social skills and show fewer behavioral problems in school. In the workplace, those with high EQ are better at understanding their colleagues, dealing with stress and solving problems.Emotional intelligence can be developed and improved through practice. Some ways to enhance EQ include developing good listening skills, being empathetic towards others, managing stress effectively and developing a positive mindset.In conclusion, emotional intelligence plays a crucial role in determining one’s success in life. It is a n important skill that should be cultivated and nurtured from a young age.1. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true about emotional intelligence?A. It is not as important as IQ in determining success.B. It is the traditional measure of intelligence.C. It involves the ability to empathize with others and control one’s feelings.D. It has no impact on personal and professional life.2. The passage suggests that emotional intelligence ___________.A. cannot be developed or improvedB. is less important for children than adultsC. helps people succeed in various areas of lifeD. has no connection to social skills3. The author implies that emotional intelligence ___________.A. is a fixed trait that cannot be changedB. is inborn and has nothing to do with learningC. can be enhanced through certain practicesD. has no effect on one’s interactions with others二、阅读下面对话，从对话后所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最能填入空白处的最佳选项。

“ or “ I teach primary school”.As a theoretical physicist, I never had this luck.Society has come to expect many things from physicists.It used to be that we only hadto discover the basic laws of the world and supply the techniques that would power the next silicon Valley(硅谷).With these expectations we were fairly comfortable.They are the sorts of things we think we know how to do.What makes us uncomfortable---and what makes it hard for us to tell our kids what we’re up to---is that in this century we have become, though unwillingly, gurus on question s such as “ What is the nature ofReality?”We now deal with a whole new class of problems.We ask how the world began and what is the nature of the matter.The answers we are coming up with are just not easy to comprehend for the average person.So, when physicists get out of their cars in the morning, have a cup of coffee and sit down in front of their computers, they leave a familiar world and enter a place where things act in strange ways that are impossible for ordinary people to understand.1.According to the passage, in a way physicists are ___fortableC.strangeD.unlucky2.Judging from the context, the word “ guru “ in the first paragraph most probably means a person_____A.who acts as a teacher and answers big questionsB.who gives wrong answers to big questions.C.who does not like to answer big questionsD.who is eager to supply answers to big questions.3.Which of the following is true according to what the author says about physicists?____A.physicists do not like their jobB.physicists live in two different worlds.C.Physicists are coming up new answers to old questionsD.Physicists do not have to tell people what they are doing4.Which of the following statements is true?A.theoretical physicist only has to answer the basic questions about the worldB.theoretical physicist contributed to the new industry in Silicon ValleyC.theoretical physicist have disappointed the expectations of many peopleD.theoretical physicist have found it hard to make friends with ordinary people5.Which o f the following is true about the job of physicists?A.It is getting more and more difficultB.It is beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.C.a person with average intelligence can not do itD.both a and bPassage2AdvertisingIn the United States, advertising itself is a big lions and millions of dollars are spent on television, radio, and printed messages to prospective consumers.Advertising firms do “market research” for their clients, testing out various “pitches” in the quest for ones th at are effective.From the viewpoint of American consumers, advertising functions to inform them about available products and services, as well as to encourage them to buy.From the viewpoint of visitors from abroad, though, advertising serves and additional function, and it affords countless insights into American values, tastes and standards.From American advertising, foreign visitors can gain some understanding of these and other aspects of American society: American ideas about physical attractiveness in males and females, Americanideas concerning personal hygiene, the emphasis Americans place on sex, speed and technical sophistication, the amount of faith Americans have in arguments that include specific numbers, materialism in American society,male-female relationships, both pre-and post-material, the attention Americans pay to the words of celebrities, the characteristics of people who, in Americans’ eyes, are considered “authorities”, whose ideas and recommendations are persuasive, and the sorts of things Americans find humorous.By comparing advertising they see in the States to what they have seen at home, foreign visitors can gain understanding not just of American society, but of their own as well.PricingWith few exceptions, Americans are accustomed to fixed prices on merchandise they buy and sell.The usual exceptions are houses, automobiles, and something major appliances such as refrigerators and washing machines.Another exception is a private sales.Americans are not accustomed to bargaining over prices, and in fact usually feel quite uncomfortable with the idea.Foreign visitors must realize that the price marked on an item does not include the sales tax that is added as part of the payment.(Sales tax rates vary from one jurisdiction to another.) Americans do not believe, as people from many cultures do, that a commercial transaction includes particular attention to the human relationships involved.They look for the item they want, decide whether they can afford the price marked on it, and, if they want to buy it, find a clerk or salesperson to take the money or do the paperwork for a credit-card purchase.People who try to bargain for a lower price in a shop or store are likely to be considered either quite odd or startlingly aggressive.1.Which of the following functions does advertising in the U.S.serve?A.Advertising offers the consumers information about products and services and persuades them to buy.B.Advertising acquaints foreign visitors with American marketing strategy.C.Advertising tells people how to establish male-female relationships.D.Advertising tells people how to be attractive physically.2.Which of the following is true of American advertising?A.It’s persuasive and humorous.B.It lays stress on technical development.C.The words of celebrities are usually quoted.D.It offers insights into American values, tastes and standards.3.Which of the following is true of American pricing?A.Most products are not sold at fixed prices.B.Domestic appliances are not sold at fixed prices.C.Almost all the products are sold at fixed prices.D.Automobiles are sold at fixed prices.4.According to the passage, what the customers in the U.S.pay for a product or service is A.its fixed price.B.the price which is not fixed.C.the fixed price and the non-fixed priceD.the price and the sales tax5.According to the passage, which of the following is true?A.Americans pay attention to human relationships when shopping.B.Americans don’t pay attention to human relationships.C.Americans seldom bargain when shopping.D.Americans like to do some shopping with a credit-card.Passage3Humans are social animals.They depend on groups for survival.An individual human being lost in a wilderness is capable of doing many things.But he or she will probably be thinking constantly about how much better it would be if there were other people around to talk to and to help.Because humans like to live and work in groups, they come form couples and families;villagesand cities;work groups, teams, and other nguage is the “cement” th at holds these social groups together.Through language we can share ideas and experiences.The human mouth and throat are so constructed that we can utter a variety of nguage is the device for matching certain combinations of sounds with the symbols for things, ideas, and emotions.Our brains think in symbols----words and sentences-----as well as in the images that we receive from our sense.Thus we can turn experiences into symbols and communicate to other people through the use of language.Any one individual, therefore, can learn much more from others than he or she can discover nguage enables people to pass ideas from group to group and from generation to nguage is part of culture.Culture, in this sense, means all those customs, skills, and attitudes that are part of behavior of a particular group.The way you live, what you think, and what you want in life are all affected by the culture of the group in which you are raised.Groups of people live in different ways.They may have different skills, organizations, and art forms.Their family life may be completely different from yours.Human beings are inventive animals.They can even decide to change their cultures in order to meet new situations.They can choose to live in many environments and in a wide variety of ways.Of all living things, only human beings can choose where and how they want to live and then modify the physical environment to help them realize these choices.Acquiring the wisdom to make wise choices is the enduring challenge of being human.1.An individual human being lost in a wildness____A.longs for a life among other peopleB.can do many thingsC.keeps talking all the timeD.both a and bnguage is the device for_____A.uttering a variety of soundsing a set of symbols.C.receiving a group of imagesD.matching sounds with symbols3.With language, we can do all the following but ____A.produce good healthmunicate to other peopleC.pass ideas from group to groupD.turn experiences into symbols.4.In what sense are humans wise and different from other living things? ___A.Humans have a living placeB.humans can make wise choicesC.Humans move from place to placeD.humans live in group5.The best title for this passage might be____nguage and cultureB.the history of human beingsC.humans are inventive animalsD.a variety of cultures help humans survive IV.Translate the following sentences into English.15%1.路灯亮起来时，我看到一个男人摇摇晃晃向市政厅（city hall）方向走去。

Each passage is followed by a number of comprehension questions. Read the passage and answer the question. Then put the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage 1Some people have it easy. When their kids ask them what they do at work, they can give a simple, direct answer. “I put out fires “ or “ I fix sick people “ or “ I teach primary school”. As a theoretical physicist, I never had this luck. Society has come to expect many things from physicists. It used to be that we only had to discover the basic laws of the world and supply the techniques that would power the next silicon Valley(硅谷). With these expectations we were fairly comfortable. They are the sorts of things we think we know how to do. What makes us uncomfortable ---and what makes it hard for us to tell our kids what we’re up to--- is that in this century we have become, though unwillingly, gurus on questions such as “ What is the nature of Reality?”We now deal with a whole new class of problems. We ask how the world began and what is the nature of the matter. The answers we are coming up with are just not easy to comprehend for the average person.So, when physicists get out of their cars in the morning, have a cup of coffee and sit down in front of their computers, they leave a familiar world and enter a place where things act in strange ways that are impossible for ordinary people to understand.1. According to the passage, in a way physicists are ___.A. intelligentB. comfortableC. strangeD. unlucky2. Judging from the context, the word “ guru “ in the first paragraph most probably means a person_____A. who acts as a teacher and answers big questionsB. who gives wrong answers to big questions..C. who does not like to answer big questionsD. who is eager to supply answers to big questions.3. Which of the following is true according to what the author says about physicists?____A. physicists do not like their jobB. physicists live in two different worlds.C. Physicists are coming up new answers to old questionsD. Physicists do not have to tell people what they are doing4. Which of the following statements is true?A. theoretical physicist only have to answer the basic questions about the worldB. theoretical physicist contributed to the new industry in silicon valleyC. theoretical physicist have disappointed the expectations of many peopleD. theoretical physicist have found it hard to make friendswith ordinary people5. Which o f the following is true about the job of physicists?A. It is getting more and more difficultB. It is beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.C. a person with average intelligence can not do itD. both a and bPassage 2Cancer is among the top killer diseases in our society today and scientists have found out thatstress helps to bring it on. It is worthwhile to consider, therefore, what are the causes of stress in our life, and whether we can do anything about them.Are we under-employed, or overburdened with too many responsibilities? Do we have a right balance of work and leisure in our lives? Are our relationships with family, friends or fellow workers all they should be?All these things can be a cause of stress, and it is best to face them honestly, and to bring our frustrations(失意) into the open. People who have a good row and then forget are doing their health more good than those who bottle up their feelings.If our self-examination has brought any causes of stress to light, let us consider what we can do about them. It is possible to change jobs. We can make more leisure and fill it more happily, if we will accept a different living standard. We can improve our personal relationships by a different attitude. It is we who allow other people to make ourselves unhappy. Often the little things that disturb us are not worth an hour’s anger. The teaching in the Bible “ let not the sun go down upon your wrath (愤怒) “ is a good advice from the health point of view as well as the religious.1. Which of the following statements is true?A. Freedom from responsibilities helps relieve stressB. Stress is the direct cause of cancerC. The causes of stress are worthy of serious studyD. Cancer is the number one killer in our society today2. According to the passage, which of the following types of people is more likely to suffer from stress? According to the passageA. people who have cancerB. people who like to quarrel with others.C. people whose living standard is lowD. people who have more responsibilities than they can handle3. Judging from the context, the word “ row “ in the third paragraph most probably means____A. a noisy quarrelB. a very loud noiseC. a neat line things side by sideD. a journey in a boat4. Which of the following is not mentioned as a way to reduce our stress?A. changing our jobsB. changing our attitude about little things that make us unhappyC. speaking out about our frustrationsD. reading the Bible5. “ let not the sun go down upon your wrath” probably means____A. don’t let your anger last longB. don’t get angry while the sun is going downC. don’t get angry easily about little thingsD. don’t watc h the sun set while you ere angryPassage 3Humans are social animals. They depend on groups for survival. An individual human being lost in a wilderness is capable of doing many things. But he or she will probably be thinking constantly about how much better it would be if there were other people around to talk to and to help.Because humans like to live and work in groups, they from couples and families; villages andcities; work groups, teams, and other organizations. Language is the “cement” that ho lds these social groups together.Through language we can share ideas and experiences. The human mouth and throat are so constructed that we can utter a variety of sounds. Language is the device for matching certain combinations of sounds with the symbols for things, ideas, and emotions. Our brains think in symbols----words and sentences-----as well as in the images that we receive from our sense. Thus we can turn experiences into symbols and communicate to other people through the use of language. Any one individual, therefore, can learn much more from others than he or she can discover alone. Language enables people to pass ideas from group to group and from generation to generation.Language is part of culture. Culture, in this sense, means all those customs, skills, and attitudes that are part of behavior of a particular group. The way you live, what you think, and what you want in life are all affected by the culture of the group in which you are raised. Groups of people live in different ways. They may have different skills, organizations, and art forms. Their family lifemay be completely different from yours.Human beings are inventive animals. They can even decide to change their cultures in order to meet new situations. They can choose to live in many environments and in a wide variety of ways. Of all living things, only human beings can choose where and how they want to live and then modify the physical environment to help them realize these choices. Acquiring the wisdom to make wise choices is the enduring challenge of being human.1. An individual human being lost in a wildness____A. longs for a life among other peopleB. can do many thingsC. keeps talking all the timeD. both a and b2. language is the device for_____A. uttering a variety of soundsB. using a set of symbols.C. receiving a group of imagesD. matching sounds with symbols3.

In what sense are humans wise and different from other living things? ___A. Humans have a living placeB. humans can make wise choicesC. Humans move from place to placeD. humans live in group5. The best title for this passage might be____A. language and cultureB. the history of human beingsC. humans are inventive animalsD. a variety of cultures help humans surviveV Translation (10%)Directions: Translate the following sentences into Chinese1.In the eyes of some people, Picasso’s paintings would seem rather foolish.2.

Now a new study dispels a common belief why they quit. It’s much more basic than flunking out.Society tends to think of high school dropouts as kids who just can’t cut it. They are lazy，and perhaps not two bright．So researchers were surprised when they asked more than 450 kids who quit school about why they left.“The vast majority actually had passing gr ades and they were confident that they could have graduated from high school.” John Bridgeland, the executive researcher said. About 1 million teens leave school each year. Only about half of African-American and Hispanic student will receive a diploma，and actually all dropouts come to regret their decision. So，if fa iling grades don’t explain why these kids quit, what does? Again，John Bridgeland："The most dependable finding was that they were b ored.” “They found classes uninteresting; they weren’t insp ired or motivated. They didn’t see any direct connection between what the y were learning in the classroom to their own lives, or to their caree r aspirations.”The study found that most teens who do drop out wait until they turn sixteen, which happens to be the age at which most states allow students to quit. In the US，only one state，New Mexico，has a law requiring teenagers to stay in high school until they graduate. Onl four states: California, Tennessee, Texas and Utah, plus the District of Columbia, require school attendance until age 18, no exceptions, another researcher, says raising the compulsory attendance age may be one way to keep more kids in school．“As these dropouts look back，they realize they’ve made a mistake. And anything that sort of gives these people an extra push to stick it out and it through to the end, is probably he lpful measure.”New Hampshire may be the next state to raise its school attendance age to 18. But critics say that forcing the students unwilling to continue their studies to stay in school misses the point－the need for reform. It's been called for to reinvent high school education to make it more challenging and relevant, and to ensure that kids who do stick it out receive a diploma that actually means something.41. Most high school students drop out d' school because＿＿．A. they have failing gradesB. they take m interest in classesC. they are discriminated againstD. they are lazy and not intelligent42. Acceding to the passage，which state has a law requiring school attendance until they graduate?A. New HampshireB. UtahC. New MexicoD. The District of Columbia43.

In the last paragraph, the writer is trying to＿＿A. analyze the reason why students quit schoolB. suggest raising the compulsory attendance ageC. raise awareness of reforming high school educationD. wish to make laws to guarantee no educatio45. From the passage，we can infer the following EXCEPT that＿．A. the grades of most dropouts at school were acceptableB. about 500, 000 high school dropouts are black and SpanishC. classes don't appeal to dropoutsD. on average dropouts cannot get good jobsPassage 2Like other heavily populated nations,India is trying to find new ways to produce more food to feed its ever increasing population.But one of the methods India ecently has taken is as old as the Upanishads.It's called simply storing grain.Today in India,they are calling it the "Save Grain Campaign"and it seems to be working.By planning ahead ,the country has opened more land and increased grain production from 51 million tons in 1995.India can now depend on its own grain supply.To reduce post-harvest losses,estimated at 9.33 percent of the nation output,the IndianMinistry of Food has taken several steps to let more people know more about scientific methods of grain storage.The "Save Grain Campain",a pilot program in 1965,now is gaining popularity.There are 17 campaign offices across India.Campaign workers work closely with provincial governments to teach farmers scientific methods of stiring food and pest control.46. What do the Indian do to have more food?A. Increase its populationB. Open more farmlandC. From 17 campaign offices in every provinceD. Buy more food from foreign countries.47.

If there were no post-harvest losses,maybe the total output of grain in India would be___________A. over 9 percent moreB. 51 million tonsC. 192 million tonsD. 243 million tons50. The scientific methods of grain storage have to be taught because________A. a lot of grain is wasted after the crop harvestsB. a lot of grain is wasted during the crop harvestsC. a lot of farmland is wastedD. farmers know nothing about the "Save Grain Campaign"Passage 3In the 19th century Americans from the eastern states moved out west to settle in the rich new lands along the Pacific Coast.The most difficult parts of their trip was crossing the "Great American Desert"in the western part of the United States by horse and wagon.The western desert can be very dangerous.There is little water and there are few trees.But the desert also has scenery of great beauty.Tall towers of red and yellow stone rise sharply from the flat ,sandy valley floor.The scene has been photographed many times and appears in movies and in TV.In Arizona,man-made dams across the Colorado River have mde two large lakes in the middle of the dry desert country.At lake Poweel,the red stone arch Rainbow Bridge rises high above the blue lake.There are few roads. Many areas of lake Powell's shore can only be reached by boat or on foot.But hikers in this empty desert land sometimes find very old native American pictures,painted on the rocks.In Death Valley,California,the summer temperature rises to 130-165 degrees Fahrenheit .There is less than two inches of tain each year .Death Valley is the lowest place in America-925 metres below sea level.IN the 1800s ,many travellers died when they tried to cross this waterless valley in the terrible heat. Although the desert is dry and seems empty,there is plenty of life if you look closely.Small insects,snakes,and rats have learned how to live in the desert heat.They live underground and come out at night ,when it is cool.Plants such as cacti need very little water.When it does rain in the desert(sometimes only once or twice a year),plants grow quickly ,and flowers open in a gingle day. For a short time,the desert is covered with brilliant colour.51. In the 19th century,Americans moved from the east to the westbecause they_________A. enjoyed the tripB wanted to make their home thereC. wanted to find new grassland thereD. had no water to drink52. From the passage ,we can conclude that____________A. the western desert is a good place for people to live inB. there is little water but there are many trees in the desertC. the desert is dangerous but it is full of beautyD. till now, people know little about the desert53. If you want to find some old native American pictures paintedon the rock you must travel_______A. on footB. by boatC. by carD. by plane54. In the 1800s many travellers died in Death Valley becauseof ________A. illnessB. high temperatureC. cold weatherD. poisonous water55.
