points）Section A Multiple Choice（10 points）Directions：There is one reading passage in this part．The passage is followed by 5 questions or unfinished statements．For each of them there are four choices marked A，B，C and D．You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with asingle line through the centre．Questions 71 to 75 are based on the following passage：Taking a peep at what's going on in your headCARL Filer，18，a star salesman at a B＆Q hardware store in the UK，was called up for promotion within one week of starting work．But，instead of being made supervisor，he was sacked—after his employers saw the results of his psychometric test．You might think that anyone who answers that he“strongly disagrees he is an over-achiever is asking for trouble，but Mr Filer already thought he had proved himself more than capable．This year，nearly half of UK firms—46 percent—will use psychometric tests to select trainees，compared with just 17 percent in 2000，according to a report for GTI，a publisher of graduate career guides．These tests，which rate candidates’ability and gauge their personality，have been used in the UK since the 1980s．But assorted studies have shown most people—graduates in particular—are wholly cynical about the idea of their personality being“measured．“People tend to see them as either too silly or too clever，says Clive Fletcher，professor of occupational psychology at University of London．“But all the evidence indicates the tests do have some value．The first personality test as we know it，was developed by the American army in 1917 to filter out weak recruits．But it was not until the 1980s that the tests became popular in Britain．With a rising number of graduates going for a decreasing number of jobs，organizations began to see psychometric testing as a cheap，reliable alternative to the expensive，time-consuming interview．But today the tests are becoming alarmingly sophisticated and are edging towards probing the“dark side：pathology and personality disorders．Increasingly，tests are being used to try to detect promising young graduates who may，later in life，fly off the rails（go crazy）；or to stop psychopaths（having mental disorder）getting recruited．In the future，interviewees could even be given a mouth swab to reveal the genetic and biological markers of personality．“We are heading for the era of genetic screening，”warns Carolyn Jones，of the Institute for Employment Rights．“I think these tests are very flawed．And there are other problems with the tests．For starters，it is possible to fake it—even the test producers agree on this．But they have made it as hard as possible．For example，look at whether you agree or disagree with the following two statements：“New ideas come easily to me and “I find generating new concepts difficult．How long did it take you to realize they both could mean the same thing？The main argument，however，is that the tests are invalid and cannot quantify（put a numerical value on）something as changeable as personality．The golden rule is then，that a psychometric test should never be used as the sole basis of selection，but should always be followed by interviews．71．Most people's attitude towards the psychometric test is ______．A．contemptuous B．favorable C．tolerant D．confounded 72．Which of the following is one of the reasons why psychometric testing wins an advantage over interviews？A．It doesn't cost any money．B．It requires no equipment．C．It is time-saving．D．It can be done within seconds．73．Which of the following statements is the author's idea？A．Psychometric tests are defective．B．Psychometric tests should not be the only way to recruit promising young graduates．C．Psychometric tests are invalid and cannot quantify something changeable as personality．D．Psychometric tests are golden rules．74．The test producers make the tests very complicated to ______．A．avoid cheating B．improve genetic screeningC．find out the best ideas D．generate new concepts 75．Which of the following is not true according to the passage？A．The American army developed the first personality test to screen out weak recruits．B．In the future，interviewers could give a mouth swab to revealinterviewees’symptoms．C．There are possibilities for starters to cheat in the psychometric tests．D．Interviews still play an important role in evaluating interviewees．Section B Short Answer Questions（30 points）Directions：In this part there are 3 passages with 15 questions or incomplete statements．Read the passages carefully．Then answer the questions in the fewest possible words（not exceeding 10 words）．Remember to rewrite the answers on the Answer Sheet．Questions 76 to 80 are based on the following passage：The 8 Steps of Social Invention1．Get ready to play．Like other types of creativity，social inventiveness flourishes when you begin thinking outside conventional boundaries．Charlie Girsch，a St．Paul，Minnesota-based creativity consultant，suggests that you start by playing with obviously absurd explanations for everyday events．“If traffic is slow，you'll be tem pted to say，‘Hmm．Must be an accident up ahead．’Instead，try saying，‘Must be a family of turtles crossing the highway’or‘I expect there's some kind of alien abduction going on．’You'll be amazed how soon you will be looking at familiar problems in new ways．”Girsch's book，Fanning the Creative Spirit（Creativity Central，1999）has scores of other exercises for limbering up the inventive part of yourbrain．2．Generate a zillion far-fetched ideas．Concerned about the homeless in your neighborhood？Imagine a Homeless Parliament，a Homeless Circus，homeless families forming an orchestra，a homeless museum ．．．and on and on．Generate like mad with no regard for feasibility in order，as social invention pioneer Nicholas Albery advises，to“overcome e worthy-but-dull ideas．”Eventually the two or three best ideas will begin to stand out．3．Take your wildest idea and bring it down to earth．How about that Homeless Circus？Could it turn into a forum for homeless people to display their creative talents？A performance series about homelessness？A neighborhood carnival with the homeless as guests of honor？Your flakiest idea may have a germ of brilliance that actually makes it more attractive，and thus more feasible（and fundable），than its worthy-but-dull cousins．4．Look for in venations that solve more than one problem．The Slow Food Movement，born in Italy，boosts local farmers and regional cuisine traditions and restaurateurs and the same time that it “feeds”our hunger for authentic tastes，healthy eating，and a more leisurely，saner style of life．5．Accentuate the positive．“A very common question that I get when I work with people incommunities is‘Why doesn't anybody care about our problems？’”notes M chael Patterson，a social inventor and activist in Massachusetts．“What a worthless question．‘Why’？questions are for philosophers．Ask ‘How’？and‘What’？questions—they are a lot more practical．”For instance，Patterson asks，“What would you do if you knew you couldn't fail？”6．Give it a rest．Walk away from your favorite idea for a while，forget about it，let it sleep．With your conscious mind out of the way，your subconscious gets to fiddle with the concept for a while，and you just might have an unexpected insight or breakthrough．7．Practice“yes and”in stead of“yes but”．No matter how tempted you are to say“Yes，but this will be hard because，”or“Yes，but a million other people are doing this，”shift the conjunction to“and”and see what sort of positive refinement or change emerges．“Yes，and we could concentrate on immigrants．”“Yes，and we can make it open to all ages．”8．Get your idea into the world．This is the tough part．You might seek out the help of activists who will take a shine to your ideas．Or become an organizer yourself．Paul Glove，a New York social inventor，coun-sels：“If you have an idea you believe in，write a pamphlet with your phone number on it and post it inLaundromats and bookstores．If three people call you，have lunch with them and call yourselves an organization．If five people call，meet with them and issue a press release．”Presto，you're launched．76．To generate far-fetched ideas helps to ______．77．Michael Patterson wants us to come up with“How”？and“What”？instead of“Why”？questions because he considers they are more practical than ______．78．The purpose to practice“yes and”instead of“yes but”is to make yourself more ______．79．According to the article，when one has difficulty developing his favorite idea，he should ______．80．One should not only generate far-fetched ideas but also ______ because the latter step is the nearest to reality．Questions 81 to 85 are based on the following passage：Thin Slice of TV Has Big MarketIt is too early to write an obituary for bulky picture tubes，which will remain the most affordable TV sets for years to come．But，analysts and industry executives insist that thin screens already have started to become the dominant format for TV sets in the digital era．Sharp price cuts have brought plasma sets and other thin，flat televisions out of high-end electronic boutiques and into thousands of mass-market outlets such as Cosco，a wholesale buying club in the US，best known foroffering members bulk items and big discounts．The least expensive plasma sets still cost a hefty US ＄3，000or more ，yet sales are growing so rapidly that many manufacturers are racing to boost production．That increase，combined with expanding production capacity and improved technology，could push the price of plasma sets down by one-third next year，according to analyst Richard Doherty of Envisioneering Group，a US research firm．But manufacturers are not just competing with each other；they are also trying to fend off challenges from competing thin-screen technologies，such as liquid crystal displays（LCD）．The demand for thin screens is fuelled in part by the advent of DVDs and digital TV broadcasts，which offer more detailed pictures and more lifelike colors than conventional analog TV signals．To see the difference，consumers need a set that can pack more information onto the screen than their current TVs can．This sharpness is most vivid on screens that are 40inches diagonal or larger．At that size，however，traditional direct view and projection TVs are so bulky that many consumers have trouble finding a place for them at home．Hence the interest in thin screens—models slender and light enough to hang on a wall．The glass panels at the heart of plasma and LCD sets come mainly from about a dozen companies with factories in Japan，South Korea and，increasingly，China．About 800，000 plasma panels will be shipped this year around the world，analysts say．That is a tiny amount compared with the overall market for TVs，which was about 140 million sets last year．But，industry experts said 2003would be a“breakout year”or plasma because shipments should double．Helping drive the growth are new or expanded manufacturing facilities．For example，Japanese electronics giant NEC last year doubled the capacity of its Japanese factory—reaching 300，000to 400，000 plasma panels．And it plans to double it again in 2003，officials said．As competition has heated up during the last four years，prices have fallen more than 50 percent．According to“NPD Tec world”，the average price of a plasma display sold in the US dropped from US ＄12，700in January 1999 to US ＄6，100in October 2002．The best markets for plasma screens have been in Asia，and about half of the sets have gone to businesses instead of homes．LCD TVs carry a premium price—they can be 10 times as expensive as a comparable tube-driven television—that knocks them out of most buyers’budgets．But LCD panels are quickly taking over the market for computermonitors，and the tens of millions of panels being produced for that segment will help push down prices for LCD TVs，analysts predicted．Sharp Electronics，for one，is betting heavily on LCDs．Its chairman，Toshiaki Urushisako，has predicted that Sharp will switch completely from conventional tube sets to LCD TVs in Japan by 2005．Flat-panel refers to wafer-thin（3 inches or less）TVs，whereas flat-screen may actually describe traditional cathode-ray-tube sets（CRTs）whose glass front lacks the distorting curve that TVs have had for 50 years．Be aware of two things：One，flat-panel technology may not be high-definition TV；for eventual HDTV reception，some of these sets will require a separate HD tuner．Two，some flat-panel TVs are just the panel and lack speakers and sometimes a built-in tuner．Price range：US ＄700－2，000LCD vs plasmaIn general，LCD technology is used for smaller screens because of the enormous number of transistors needed to turn the glasslike liquid crystals into color images．The larger the display，the more transistors，the more chance of failed connections．A plasma screen is found in TV sets larger than 20 inches．Color is comparable to an LCD's．LCDs do not deteriorate over time，while a plasma display averages 30，000 hours（a traditional TV screen can go for 20，000），after which it fades over a period of years．Earlier problemswith the quality of plasma's contrast have been addressed，and current screens are cleaner and better defined．Price range：US ＄600－2，800HDTVSimply put，high-definition TV is 10 times as sharp as traditional TV，and the sound is digital，like CD sound，not FM ，which is what traditional TV provides．HD technology achieves its visual clarity with more immage lines on the screen．Where analog TVs have 480 horizontal lines，HDTV has 720 or 1，080lines．Be aware ：m any HDTV sets being sold now are in fact only HDTV monitors ，offering a crisp picture ．To receive genuine high-definition television signals，owners must buy a separate HDTV receiver．Price range：US ＄1，000－6，000LOS ANGELEST IMES81．According to the article，TV sets with _____will still be the most popular in the coming years．82．The factors that stimulate the thin screens to be more and more popular include _____，_____，and_____．83．The rapidly expanding market for LCD panels and their large-scale production will help lower _____．84．When a wealthy customer wants to buy a very large TV，he should select _____and _____according to the passage．85．We can infer from the passage that among all kinds of TV sets _____is of the best quality．Questions 86 to 90 are based on the following passage：Dell Does DominationOver the years I've spent a fair amount of time hanging out with Michael Dell，and what I noticed during my latest visit with him in Austin is how things have changed．Yes，he is still unflappable．And yes，he greets me in his new glossy offices with the same Stamford Wife-like grin he has always had．But he appears thinner now，as if he's lost baby fat．While he's still slow-moving，as if he's conserving energy，he now cuts to the quick in conversation．And when he zeroes in on the point he wants to make，when he reiterates why Dell Computer is in a better position than any other PC maker in the world，you realize that the 36-year-old has lost what was once one of his greatest advantages：no one underestimate ates him anymore．Instead，Michael Dell looms over the PC landscape like a giant，casting a shadow over all his unfortunate com petitors．This is a terrible time in a difficult business．PC sales were down for the first time last year．Dell's sales will be down，too，also for the first time．Yet even with that，even with recession ，even with the threat of a Hewlett-Packard ／Com paq Goliath，this is the only PC maker you can count on to grow and grow and grow．Almost single-handedly，Dell is forcing this industry toconsolidate．Could this mean“game over”in the PC biz？“Game over？”he looks back at me incredulously．“No way．We only have 14％global market share．”The Dellites may not admit to“game over”aspirations，but clearly they are thinking of a kind of domination never seen before among PC makers．“We think 40％market share is possible，”says Dell's No．2，Kevin Rollins．That's a remarkable goal；what's more remarkable is that it really is attainable．Don't look for Dell to hit that kind of number anytime soon．Rather，the company's growth will come from grinding out gains on several existing fronts，while shrewdly expanding into new target markets．The reason is simple：there's no better way to make，sell，and deliver PCs than the way Dell does it，and nobody executes that model better than Dell．By now most business people can recite the basic tenets of Dell's direct-sales model．Dell machines are made to order and delivered directly to the customer．There is no middleman．The customer gets the exact machine he wants cheaper than he can get it from the competition．The company gets paid by the customer weeks before it pays suppliers．Given all that，the company that famously started in Austin out of a University of Texas dorm room now dominates the northern side of this city the way giant steelworks once lorded over old mill towns．Dell has some 24 facilities in and near Austin and employs more than 18，000 local workers．Dell did over ＄30billion in sales in 2000，ranking 48th on。

Choice(10points)Directions:There is one reading passage in this part.The passage is followed by5questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C and D.You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with asingle line through the centre.Questions71to75are based on the following passage：Taking a peep at what's going on in your headCARL Filer,18,a star salesman at a B&Q hardware store in the UK, was called up for promotion within one week of starting work.But, instead of being made supervisor,he was sacked一after his employers saw the results of his psychometric test.You might think that anyone who answers that he u strongly disagrees he is an over-achiever is asking for trouble,but Mr Filer already thought he had proved himself more than capable.This year,nearly half of UK firms一46percent一will use psychometric tests to select trainees,compared with just17percent in2000,according to a report for GTL a publisher of graduate career guides.These tests,which rate candidates'ability and gauge their personality, have been used in the UK since the1980s.But assorted studies have shown most people一graduates in particular一are wholly cynical about the idea of their personality being u measured.u People tend to see them as either too silly or too clever,says Clive Fletcher,professor of occupational psychology at University of London."But all the evidence indicates the tests do have some value.The first personality test as we know it,was developed by the American army in1917to filter out weak recruits.But it was not until the1980s that the tests became popular in Britain.With a rising number of graduates going for a decreasing number of jobs,organizations began to see psychometric testing as a cheap, reliable alternative to the expensive,time-consuming interview.But today the tests are becoming alarmingly sophisticated and are edging towards probing the"dark side:pathology and personality disorders.Increasingly,tests are being used to try to detect promising young graduates who may,later in life,fly off the rails(go crazy)；or to stop psychopaths(having mental disorder)getting recruited.In the future,interviewees could even be given a mouth swab to reveal the genetic and biological markers of personality."We are heading for the era of genetic screening,"warns Carolyn Jones,of the Institute for Employment Rights."I think these tests are very flawed.And there are other problems with the tests.For starters,it is possible to fake it一even the test producers agree on this.But they have made it as hard as possible.For example,look at whether you agree or disagree with the following two statements:"New ideas come easily to me and "I find generating new concepts difficult.How long did it take you to realize they both could mean the same thing?The main argument,however,is that the tests are invalid and cannot quantify(put a numerical value on)something as changeable as personality.The golden rule is then,that a psychometric test should never be used as the sole basis of selection,but should always be followed by interviews.71.Most people's attitude towards the psychometric test is.A.contemptuousB.favorableC.tolerantD.confounded72.Which of the following is one of the reasons why psychometric testing wins an advantage over interviews?A.It doesn't cost any money.B.It requires no equipment.C.It is time-saving.D.It can be done within seconds.73.Which of the following statements is the author's idea?A.Psychometric tests are defective.B.Psychometric tests should not be the only way to recruit promising young graduates.C.Psychometric tests are invalid and cannot quantify something changeable as personality.D.Psychometric tests are golden rules.74.The test producers make the tests very complicated to.A.avoid cheatingB.improve genetic screeningC.find out the best ideasD.generate new concepts75.Which of the following is not true according to the passage?A.The American army developed the first personality test to screen out weak recruits.B.In the future,interviewers could give a mouth swab to revealinterviewees'symptoms.C.There are possibilities for starters to cheat in the psychometric tests.D.Interviews still play an important role in evaluating interviewees. Section B Short Answer Questions(30points)Directions:In this part there are3passages with15questions or incomplete statements.Read the passages carefully.Then answer the questions in the fewest possible words(not exceeding10 words).Remember to rewrite the answers on the Answer Sheet. Questions76to80are based on the following passage：The8Steps of Social Invention1.Get ready to play.Like other types of creativity,social inventiveness flourishes when you begin thinking outside conventional boundaries.Charlie Girsch,a St.PauL Minnesota-based creativity consultant,suggests that you start by playing with obviously absurd explanations for everyday events."If traffic is slow,you'll be tem pted to say,'Hmm.Must be an accident up ahead.' Instead,try saying,'Must be a family of turtles crossing the highway, or'I expect there's some kind of alien abduction going on.'You'll be amazed how soon you will be looking at familiar problems in new ways.' Girsch's book,Fanning the Creative Spirit(Creativity Central,1999) has scores of other exercises for limbering up the inventive part of yourbrain.2.Generate a zillion far-fetched ideas.Concerned about the homeless in your neighborhood ?Imagine a Homeless Parliament,a Homeless Circus,homeless families forming an orchestra,a homeless museum...and on and on.Generate like mad with no regard for feasibility in order,as social invention pioneer Nicholas Albery advises,to"overcome e worthy-but-dull ideas." Eventually the two or three best ideas will begin to stand out.3.Take your wildest idea and bring it down to earth.How about that Homeless Circus?Could it turn into a forum for homeless people to display their creative talents?A performance series about homelessness?A neighborhood carnival with the homeless as guests of honor?Your flakiest idea may have a germ of brilliance that actually makes it more attractive,and thus more feasible(and fundable), than its worthy-but-dull cousins.4.Look for in venations that solve more than one problem.The Slow Food Movement,born in Italy,boosts local farmers and regional cuisine traditions and restaurateurs and the same time that it "feeds"our hunger for authentic tastes,healthy eating,and a more leisurely,saner style of life.5.Accentuate the positive."A very common question that I get when I work with people incommunities is'Why doesn't anybody care about our problems?'"notes M chael Patterson,a social inventor and activist in Massachusetts."What a worthless question.'Why'?questions are for philosophers.Ask 'How'?and'What'?questions一they are a lot more practical.For instance,Patterson asks,"What would you do if you knew you couldn't fail?”6.Give it a rest.Walk away from your favorite idea for a while,forget about it,let it sleep.With your conscious mind out of the way,your subconscious gets to fiddle with the concept for a while,and you just might have an unexpected insight or breakthrough.7.Practice"yes and"in stead of"yes but".No matter how tempted you are to say"Yes,but this will be hard because,"or"Yes,but a million other people are doing this, "shift the conjunction to"and"and see what sort of positive refinement or change emerges."Yes,and we could concentrate on immigrants.,,u Yes,and we can make it open to all ages."8.Get your idea into the world.This is the tough part.You might seek out the help of activists who will take a shine to your ideas.Or become an organizer yourself.Paul Glove, a New York social inventor,coun-sels：u If you have an idea you believe in,write a pamphlet with your phone number on it and post it inLaundromats and bookstores.If three people call you,have lunch with them and call yourselves an organization.If five people call,meet with them and issue a press release."Presto,you're launched.76.To generate far-fetched ideas helps to.77.Michael Patterson wants us to come up with"How”?and"What”? instead of"Why"?questions because he considers they are more practical than.78.The purpose to practice"yes and"instead of"yes but"is to make yourself more.79.According to the article,when one has difficulty developing his favorite idea,he should.80.One should not only generate far-fetched ideas but alsobecause the latter step is the nearest to reality.Questions81to85are based on the following passage：Thin Slice of TV Has Big MarketIt is too early to write an obituary for bulky picture tubes,which will remain the most affordable TV sets for years to come.But,analysts and industry executives insist that thin screens already have started to become the dominant format for TV sets in the digital era.Sharp price cuts have brought plasma sets and other thin,flat televisions out of high-end electronic boutiques and into thousands of mass-market outlets such as Cosco,a wholesale buying club in the US,best known foroffering members bulk items and big discounts.The least expensive plasma sets still cost a hefty US$3,OOOor more, yet sales are growing so rapidly that many manufacturers are racing to boost production.That increase,combined with expanding production capacity and improved technology,could push the price of plasma sets down by one-third next year,according to analyst Richard Doherty of Envisioneering Group,a US research firm.But manufacturers are not just competing with each other；they are also trying to fend off challenges from competing thin-screen technologies, such as liquid crystal displays(LCD).The demand for thin screens is fuelled in part by the advent of DVDs and digital TV broadcasts,which offer more detailed pictures and more lifelike colors than conventional analog TV signals.To see the difference,consumers need a set that can pack more information onto the screen than their current TVs can.This sharpness is most vivid on screens that are40inches diagonal or larger.At that size,however,traditional direct view and projection TVs are so bulky that many consumers have trouble finding a place for them at home.Hence the interest in thin screens一models slender and light enough to hang on a wall.The glass panels at the heart of plasma and LCD sets come mainly from about a dozen companies with factories in Japan,South Korea and, increasingly,China.About800,000plasma panels will be shipped this year around the world,analysts say.That is a tiny amount compared with the overall market for TVs,which was about140million sets last year.But,industry experts said 2003would be a u breakout year"or plasma because shipments should double.Helping drive the growth are new or expanded manufacturing facilities.For example,Japanese electronics giant NEC last year doubled the capacity of its Japanese factory一reaching300,OOOto400, 000plasma panels.And it plans to double it again in2003,officials said. As competition has heated up during the last four years,prices have fallen more than50percent.According to U NPD Tec worldthe average price of a plasma display sold in the US dropped from US$12,700in January 1999to US$6,lOOin October2002.The best markets for plasma screens have been in Asia,and about half of the sets have gone to businesses instead of homes.LCD TVs carry a premium price一they can be10times as expensive as a comparable tube-driven television一that knocks them out of most buyers' budgets.But LCD panels are quickly taking over the market for computermonitors,and the tens of millions of panels being produced for that segment will help push down prices for LCD TVs,analysts predicted. Sharp Electronics,for one,is betting heavily on LCDs.Its chairman, Toshiaki Urushisako,has predicted that Sharp will switch completely from conventional tube sets to LCD TVs in Japan by2005.Flat-panel refers to wafer-thin(3inches or less)TVs,whereas flat-screen may actually describe traditional cathode-ray-tube sets(CRTs)whose glass front lacks the distorting curve that TVs have had for50years.Be aware of two things:One,flat-panel technology may not be high-definition TV；for eventual HDTV reception,some of these sets will require a separate HD tuner.Two,some flat-panel TVs are just the panel and lack speakers and sometimes a built-in tuner.Price range：US$700—2,000LCD vs plasmaIn general,LCD technology is used for smaller screens because of the enormous number of transistors needed to turn the glasslike liquid crystals into color images.The larger the display,the more transistors, the more chance of failed connections.A plasma screen is found in TV sets larger than20inches.Color is comparable to an LCD's.LCDs do not deteriorate over time,while a plasma display averages30,000hours(a traditional TV screen can go for 20,000),after which it fades over a period of years.Earlier problemswith the quality of plasma's contrast have been addressed,and current screens are cleaner and better defined.Price range：US$600—2,800HDTVSimply put,high-definition TV is10times as sharp as traditional TV,and the sound is digital,like CD sound,not FM,which is what traditional TV provides.HD technology achieves its visual clarity with more immage lines on the screen.Where analog TVs have480horizontal lines, HDTV has720or1,0801ines.Be aware:m any HDTV sets being sold now are in fact only HDTV monitors,offering a crisp picture.To receive genuine high-definition television signals,owners must buy a separate HDTV receiver.Price range：US$1,000—6,000LOS ANGELESTIMES81.According to the article,TV sets with will still be the most popular in the coming years.82.The factors that stimulate the thin screens to be more and more popular include,,and.83.The rapidly expanding market for LCD panels and their large-scale production will help lower.84.When a wealthy customer wants to buy a very large TV,he should select and according to the passage.85.We can infer from the passage that among all kinds of TV setsis of the best quality.Questions86to90are based on the following passage：Dell Does DominationOver the years I've spent a fair amount of time hanging out with Michael DelL and what I noticed during my latest visit with him in Austin is how things have changed.Yes,he is still unflappable.And yes,he greets me in his new glossy offices with the same Stamford Wife-like grin he has always had.But he appears thinner now,as if he's lost baby fat.While he's still slow-moving,as if he's conserving energy,he now cuts to the quick in conversation.And when he zeroes in on the point he wants to make,when he reiterates why Dell Computer is in a better position than any other PC maker in the world,you realize that the36-year-old has lost what was once one of his greatest advantages:no one underestimate ates him anymore.Instead,Michael Dell looms over the PC landscape like a giant,casting a shadow over all his unfortunate com petitors.This is a terrible time in a difficult business.PC sales were down for the first time last year.Dell's sales will be down,too,also for the first time.Yet even with that,even with recession,even with the threat of a Hewlett-Packard/Com paq Goliath,this is the only PC maker you can count on to grow and grow and grow.Almost single-handedly,Dell is forcing this industry to。

Reading is a subtle thing, and its subtleties are artifacts of a venerable medium: words printed in ink on paper. Glass and pixels aren't the same.When I read a physical book, I don't have to look anywhere else to find out how much I've read. The iPad e---reader, iBooks tries to create the (47) illu_____ of a physical book. The pages seem to turn, and I can the edges of those that remain, but it's fake. There are always exactly six unturned pages, no matter (48)_____ I am in the book.Also, there is a larger problem. Books in their digital format look vastly less "finished", or less genuine than real books. You can vary their font and type size, but this only makes them(49)_____(resemble) word---processed---no matter how (50)_____(wretch) or wonderful they are---will never look as good as Robert Hass's poems in the print edition of The Apple Trees at Olema. But your poems can look almost exactly as ugly---as "e---book---like" ---as the Kindle version of that collection.All the e---book I've read have been ugly---books by Chang---rae Lee, Alvin Kernan, and Stieg Larsson---though the texts have been wonderful. I didn't grow up reading texts. I grew up reading books, and this(51)_____(differ) is important.When it comes to digital editions, the(52)_____(assume) seems to be that allbooks(53)are_____(create) equal. However, nothing could be further from the truth. In the mass migration from print to digital, we're seeing a profusion of digital books---many of them out of copyright---that look new and even "HD," but which may well have been supplanted by more accurate editions and better translations. We need a digital readers' guide---a place where readers can find(54)_____ whether the book they're about to download is the best available edition. (55)Fi_____, two related problems. I already have a personal library, but most of the books I've read have come from(56)_____(lend) libraries. Barnes & Noble has released an e---reader that allows short---term (57) _____(borrow) of some books. The entire idea behind Amazon's Kindle and Apple's iBooks assumes that you cannot read a book unless you own it first and that only you can read it unless you want to give your reading device to someone else.This goes against the social value of reading, the collective knowledge and(58)_____(collaborate) discourse that comes from access to (59)_____or our culture in general.Part Four Reading Comprehension (40 marks).Section A (10 marks ).Questions 61 to 65 are based on the following passage.Not keen on reading? Do you have trouble finding a novel that arouses your interest? Why not follow Ammon Shea's example and start reading a dictionary?Mr Shea owns over 1,000 dictionaries and he reads them for fun. He recently spent a year reading all 20 volumes of the Oxford English Dictionary. The dictionary contains more than20,000 pages and over 59 million words.As he read from A to Z, he noted down interesting words in a ledger. This includes words such as "happify," meaning to make someone happy and "tripudiate", which means to dance, skip or leap for joy. Mr Shea also kept a diary about this experience, which has since become abest---selling book.Why did he do this? He claims it was fun. "I've always enjoyed reading dictionaries . They are far more interesting than people give then credit for," he said.It appears that it was not his goal to sound more intelligent by using longer and more complex words. "I'm not against long, fancy or obscure words, but I'm opposed to using then for their own sake," he said.In fact ,as a result of reading so many new words , Mr Shea often forgot everyday vocabulary. He wrote, "My head was so full of words that I often had trouble forming simple sentences."Mr Shea is not alone in his love of reading dictionaries.Elaine Higgleton, a representative of Collins Cbuild dictionaries, explained that thousands of crossword puzzle and Srabble fans read dictionaries for fun and to improve their games. Ms Higgleton did however note that, "It's probably not the best way to learn English ,and you'd learn more than you need." It is not known how many of the 59 million words Ms Shea remembers, but he has certainly made history with his eccentric hobby.Questions 61 to 65.Decide whether the following statements are True or False.61.Mr Shea has read 1.000 dictionaries.62.Mr Shea spent one month reading the Oxford English Dictionary.63.In Mr Shea's opinion,people don't give dictionaries enough credit for being interesting.64.Mr Shea thinks it is important t be able to use long and complicated words in everyday conversation.65.Elaine Higgleton thinks that reading a dictionary is the best way to learn English.Section B (10 marks)Questions 66 to 70are based on the following passage.Surfing is something people often get hooked on after trying it a few times. For many surfers it is much more than a hobby---they would probably agree with the American professional surfer Kelly Slater when he said,"Once you're in, you're in. There's no getting out.""Surfing", of course, refers to riding on ocean waves using a surfboard. Many surfers stand up on their boards, which requires god balance and is therefore difficult for most beginners to learn, but some lie down and "bodyboard"The history of surfing probably began with the Polynesian people of the Pacific Islands. One of the first white people to see anyone surfing was the British explorer Captain Gook, when his ship arrived in Hawaii in 1779. He watched many Hawaiians riding waves on large pieces of wood, and reported that, "Surfing seems to give them a feeling of great pleasure. "When surfing started to become very popular in the United States in the 1950's and 60s, surfers used large wooden boards (often more than three metres long) that were quite heavy. Boards today are shorter and also much lighter, because they are made of artificial materials instead of wood. For anyone who wants to try surfing. The only essentials are waves and a board. There are a few other things, however, that most surfers find important; a cord t attach one of their ankles to the board and therefore stop it from being carried a long way away when they fall off'; wax, which they put on the surface of the board to help their feet stick to it; and a wetsuit to help them keep warm in cold water. The south---west of English is an example of a place where surfers usually need wetsuits, even in summer.Surfing has been a professional sport for many yeara and the very best surfers are able to make a living from it. Most of the best professional surfers in the last 30 years, both men and women,have been American or Australian, but surfers from Brazil, Peru and South Africa have also won important competitions.Questions 66 to 70Answer the following questions with the information given in the assage in a maximum of 10 words for each question.66.Why do most beginners find it difficult t stand up on a surfboard?67.In what part of the world did surfing probably begin?68.When did surfing start to become very popular in the United States?69.What do surfers use wax for?70.According to the passage, in what part of the world do surfers usually need wetsuits? Section C (10 marks)Questions 71 to 75 are based on the following passage.The latest human development report from the United Nations Development Programmed (UNDP) contains some good news, but also a very serious warning about the threat posed y climate change.The report, published annually since 1990, seeks to asses “human development” around the world, and calculates a “Human Development Index (HDI) for 169 counties. The HDI is based on average income, life expectancy and level of education in a country. Not surprisingly, rich counties tend to have higher HDIs than poor counties, but there are interesting variations in human development among countries with similar levels of economic development, because some have better health and education systems than others.According to the 2010 report, the county with the highest level of human development is Norway, followed by Australia, New Zealand, the United States and Ireland. Most of the lowest HDIs belong to counties in sub-Saharan Africa.Almost all counties around the worlds have higher HDIs now than in 1990, despite the fact that since the 2008 financial crisis, the total number of people living in extreme poverty has increased. The report concludes that most people are healthier, live longer, are better educated and have access to more goods and services. Even in countries with severe economic problems, people’s level of health and education as generall y improved. Although sub-Saharan African countries are at the bottom of the pile in terms of human development, some of them have madesignificant progress since 1990. The report is critical, however, of the fact economic inequality has increased significantly in the last twenty years, both within and between countries.The greatest threat to improving HDIs in the future, according to the report, is climate change. Economic growth increases average incomes in a country through increasing production and consumption. However , if this leads to greater emissions of greenhouse gases, as has always been the case in the past, global warning will probably accelerate, and cause severe environmental problems in some parts of the world hat will threaten the livelihoods of huge numbers f people. The progress of the last twenty years, therefore, might not be sustainable.The only solution, according to the report, I to break the link between economic growth and greenhouse gas emissions-which, needless to say, is easier, said than done.Questions 71 to 75Complete the following sentences with information given in the passage in a maximum of 10 words for each blank.71. The concept of “human development” is based on the following three factors: _______,_____________and_____________.72. Some countries with similar levels of economic development have quite different HDIs because they have_____________.73._________________has caused the number of people living in extreme poverty to increase since 2008.74. The report says that ______________ is the greatest threat to increasing HDIs in the future.75. The report says the link between____________ and ____________needs to be broken. Section D (10 marks)Questions 76 to 80 are based on the following passageIt is natural for young people to be critical of their parents at times and to blame them for most of the misunderstanding between them. They have always complained, more or less justly, that their parents are out of touch with modern ways; that they are possessive and dominant; that they do not trust their children to deal with crises: that they talk too much about certain problems-and that they have no sense o humor, at least parent-child relationships.I think it is true that parents often underestimate their teenage children and also forget how they felt themselves when were young.Young people often irritate their parents with their choices in clothes, hairstyles, entertainers and music. This is not their motive. They feel cut off from the adult world into which they have not yet been accepted, so they create a culture and society and their own. Then, if it turns out that their music, entertainers, vocabulary, clothes or hairstyles irritate their parents, this gives them additional enjoyment. They feel they are superior, at least in a small way, and that they are leaders in style and taste.Sometimes teenagers are resistant and proud because they do not want their parents to approve of what they do. If they did approve, it looks as if the teenager is betraying his own age group. All this is assuming that the teenager is the underdog: he can not win but at least he can keep his honor. This is a passive way of looking at things. It is natural enough after years of childhood, when children were completely under thei r parent’s control, but it ignores the fact that when they become teenagers, children are beginning to be responsible for themselves.If you plan to control your life, co-operation should be a part of that plan. You can charm other people, especially your parents, into doing things the way you want. You can also impress people with your of responsibility and your initiative, so that they will give you the authority to do what you want to do.Questions 76 to 78Choose the best answer according to the passage.76 the first paragraph is mainly about_____________.A teenagers’ criticism of their parentsB misunderstanding between teenagers and their parentsC the dominance of parents over their childrenD teenagers’ ability to deal with crises77 teenagers have strange clothes and hairstyles because they___________A have a strong desire to be leaders in style and tasteB want to prove their existence by creating a culture of their ownC have no other way to enjoy themselvesD want to irritate their parent78 teenagers do not want their parents to approve of what they do because they_______________.A have already been accepted into adult worldB feel that they are superior to adult worldC want to win adults over to their cultureD don’t want to appear to b e disloyal to their own age groupQuestion 79 to 80Translate the sentences in the passage into Chinese79 I think it is true that parents often underestimate their teenage children and also forget how they felt themselves when were young80 You can charm other people, especially your parents, into doing things the way you want.Part V translate (10 mark)Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given brackets.

2020全国大学生英语竞赛C类完形填空
2020全国大学生英语竞赛C类完形填空【竞赛样题】2020年全国大英赛C类样题——完形填空Part III Cloze (10 marks)Read the following passage and fill in each blank with one word. Choose the correct word in one of the following three ways: according to the context, by using the correct form of the given word, or by using the given letter(s) of the word. Remember to write the answers on the answer sheet.When we see a bright light moving quickly across the night sky, we often talk about seeing a “shooting star”or a “falling star”. These moving lights are not in (46) stars at all. They are small pieces of matter from outer space that burn up as they enter the Earth’s atmosphere. The correct name for these (47) ob is meteoroids. Any pieces that make it to the Earth’s surface without (48) (complete) burning up are known as meteorites. Meteor is actually the name given to the light we see when a meteoroid is burning up.If a large enough meteorite hit the Earth, it could knock the planet out of its orbit, which would have catastrophic results. The path we follow around the sun would change and the Earth would become (49) much hotter or much colderas a result. This change in (50) tem would affect sea levels and the amount of water in rivers.There would either be huge floods or the oceans would dry up causing a (51) (dry). All life on the Earth would probably become extinct. Although it is unlikely that the Earth will be struck by a meteorite large enough to do this kind of damage, there is (52) evi of quite a large meteorite hitting the Earth in the past. In 1908, a large area of forest in Tunguska, Siberia, wasdestroyed by a meteorite that came apart just before it hit the ground. The moon, however, has about three billion craters, caused by meteorites crashing (53) its surface. It has so many craters because it does not have enough atmosphere in which the meteoroids can burn up.Some of the meteorites that have reached the Earth’s surface have done considerable damage. Some scientists believe that it was a change of climate, caused by meteorites hitting the Earth, that resulted in the (54) (extinct) of the dinosaurs and other large prehistoric animals. Scientists are especially interested in meteorites because they contain information about the solar system. It is (55) wi believedthat most meteorites were produced billions of years ago by collisions between asteroids (small planets). This means that the physical and chemical structure of a meteorite can give scientists information about the early universe.Keys:46. fact/reality47. objects48. completely49. either50. temperature51. drought52. evidence53. into54. extinction55. widely。
