Each passage is followed by several questions of unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.Passage OneSome people bring out the best in you in a way that you might never have fully realized on your own.My mom was one of those people.When I was nine years old, my mom became a single mother. While I was growing up, we lived a very hard life. But she gave me a lot of love. Each night, she spoke the words that would change my life, "Kemmons,you can do anything in life if you work hard enough to get it." At fourteen, I was hit by a car and the doctors said I would never walk again. Every day, my mother spoke to me in her gentle, loving voice, telling me that no matter what those doctors said, Icould walk again if I wanted to badly enough. She drove that message so deep into my heart that I finally believed her. A year later, I returned to school--walking on my own!When the Great Depression hit, I left school. Over the years, I experienced various levels of business success. But the real turning point occurred on a vacation I took with my wife and five kids in 1916. I was dissatisfied with the second-class hotels available for families and was angry that they charged an extra $2 for each child. I told my wife that I was going to open a motel for families that would never charge extra for children.Not surprisingly, mom was one of my strongest supporters. She worked behind the desk and even designed the room style. As in any business, we experienced a lot of challenges. But with my mother’s words deeply rooted in my soul, I never doubted we would succeed. Fifteen years later,we had the largest hotel system in the world. You may not have started out life in the best situations. But if you can find a task in life worth working for and believe in yourself, nothing can stop you.36. What Kemmons’ mom often told him during his childhood was______.A. amusingB. boringC. encouragingD. interesting37. What does “ that message” refer to in Paragraph 3?A. I could return to school.B. I would never walk again.C. I should always believe her.D. I could walk again if I wanted to.38. What caused Kemmons to start a motel by himself?A. His terrible experience in the hotel.B. His previous business success.C. His mom’s support.D. His wife’s suggestion.39. Which of the following best describe Kemmons’ mother?A. Modest, helpful and hard-working.B. Loving, supportive and strong-willed.C. Careful, helpful and beautiful.D. Strict, sensitive and supportive.40. Which of the following led to Kemmons’ success according to the passage?A. Self-confidence, hard work, higher education and a poor family.B. Clear goals, mom’s encouragement, a poor family and good luck.C. Mom’s encouragement, clear goals, self-confidence and hard work.D. Mom’s encouragement, a poor family, generosity and opportunities.Passage TwoSuppose we built a robot to explore the planet Mars. We provide the robot with seeing detectors to keep it away from danger. It is powered entirely by the sun. Should we program the robot to be equally active at all the times? No. The robot would be using up energy at a time whenit was not receiving any. So we would probably program it to stop its activity at night and to make up at dawn the next morning.According to the evolutionary( 进化的) theory of sleep, evolutionary equipped us with a regular pattern of sleeping and walking for the same reason. The theory does not deny that sleep provides some important restorative( 恢复功能) functions. It merely says that evolutionary has programmed us to perform those functions at a time when activity would be inefficient and possibly dangerous. However, sleep protects us only from the sort of trouble we might walk into; it does not protect us from trouble that comes looking for us. So we sleep well when we are in a familiar, safe place, but we sleep lightly when we fear that bears will nose into the tent.The evolutionary theory explains the differences in sleep among creatures. Why do cats, for example, sleep so much, while horses sleep so little? Surely cats do not need five times as much repair and restoration as horse do. But cats can afford to have long periods of inactivity because they spend little time eating and are unlikely to be attacked while they sleep. Horses must spend almost all their waking hours eating, because what they eat is very low in energy value. Moreover, they cannot afford to sleep to long or too deeply, because their survival depends on their ability to run away from attackers.41. The author uses the example of the robot in space exploration to tell us ______.A. the differences between robots and menB. the reason why men need to sleepC. the need for robots to save powerD. the danger of men working at night42. Evolution has programmed man to sleep at night chiefly to help him ______.A. restore his bodily functionsB. maintain a regular pattern of lifeC. avoid danger and inefficient activityD. prevent trouble that comes looking for him43. According to the author, we can’t sleep well when we_______.A. are worrying about our safetyB. are overworkedC. are in a tentD. are away from home44. Cats sleep much more than horses do partly because cats ______.A. are likely to be attacked need more time for restorationB. need more time for restorationC are more active than horses when they are awakeD. spend less time eating to get enough energy45. Which of the following is the main idea of the passage?A. Evolution has equipped all creatures with a regular pattern of sleeping and wakingB. Sleeping pattern must be taken into consideration in the designing of the robotC. The sleeping pattern of a living creature is determined by the food it eatsD. The study of the sleep is an important part of the evolutionary theoryPassage ThreeAs we consider what makes one man better than the other, let’s look at two examples. The first example is a man who has a good job, a healthy body, and a loving family. His success is due to good decisions. He chose the correct subjects to study when he was at the university. Now that he’s out of school, he always schedules his time well so that he can get everything done at the proper time. He exercises and eats well, as he understands the benefits of this. In addition, in order to achieve happiness in the home, he spends time with his family and makes sure they all have what they need. On the other hand, the second man is something less than the successful person the first man is. What’s wrong with him?Good sense is the ability to know what is true or fight from what is not true or wrong. And some people might think that the second man lacks good sense. However, the person who thinks this is mistaken. Actually, since everyone has the same amount of good sense, the first man does not have an advantage over the second in this respect. The second man has a good mind, and he has the ability to judge things well.The second man runs into trouble, because he directs his thoughts along a different path. He considers other things, different from the first man. The problem is that he does not apply his mind rightly, as does the first one. Thus, he is not capable of advancing further than he does.When you consider what you want out of life, think about the results of your decisions. Apply your mind well so that good things will come about and so that you are not left regretting your actions46. According to the passage, the first man succeeds because he_____.A. is good at scheduling his timeB. has a loving familyC. does exercise regularlyD. makes right decisions47. One’s ability to judge right or wrong is called____.A. critical thinkingB. logical mindC. good senseD. will power48. Why is the second man less successful?A. He runs into much trouble.B. He lacks good sense.C. He is not a good planner.D. He fails to apply his mind properly.49. The word “advancing” in Paragraph 3 means_____.A. improvingB. promotingC. demandingD. increasing50. What is the passage mainly about?A. Having good sense is more important.B. Why some people are more successful.C. Regretting one’s actions is of no use.D. People must judge things well.Passage FourDear Ms. Write,The purpose of this letter is to convey to you my sincere apologies for any inconvenience you may have experience last month with respect to the installation(安装) of your Internet high speed service.I just returned from vacation this week and found your file in my in-basket. As soon as I reviewed your case it was clear that somehow your Jau. 20th request for a change in service had somehow slipped through the cracks.

What would be the best title for the passage?A) Famous Computer Companies B) Net MillionairesC) How to Run a Computer Company Successfully D) Being SuccessfulPassage TwoThe young people who talk of the village as being “dead” are talking nothing but nonsense, as in their hearts they must surely know.No, the village is not dead. There is more life in it now than there ever was. But it seemsthat Village life is dead. Gone for ever. It began to decline (衰落) about a hundred years ago, when many girls left home to go into service in town many miles away, and men also left home in increasing numbers in search of a work, and home was where work was. There are still a number of people alive today who can remember w hat “village life”meant in the early years of the present century. It meant knowing and being known by everybody else in the village. It meant finding your entertainment in the village of within walking distance of it. It meant housewives tied to the home all day and every day. It meant going to bed early to save lamp oil and coal.Then came the First World War and the Second World War. After each war, new ideas, new attitudes, new trades and occupations were revealed (展现) to villagers. The long - established order of society was no longer taken for granted. Electricity and the motorcar were steadily operating to make village life and town life almost alike. Now with the highly developed science and technology and high - level social welfare for all, there is no point whatever in talking any longer about village life. It is just life, and that a better life.Finally, if we have any doubts about the future, or about the many changes, which we have seen in our lives, we have only to look in at the school playground any mid - morning; or see the children as they walk homeward in little groups. Obviously these children are better fed, better clothed, better educated, healthier, prettier and happier than any generation of children that ever before walked the village street.45. By saying that village is not dead, but “village life” is dead, the writer suggests that _________A) those young people who talk of the village as being “dead” are wrongB) the two statements are against each otherC) “village life” today is rather uninterestingD) “village life” today is no longer like what is used to be.46. As is suggested in paragraph 2, villagers in the past _________A). lived a simpler life than villagers today B). knew fewer people than villagers today.C). found it difficult to enjoy themselves D). liked to wash themselves with cold water.47. The expression “---There is no point whatever in talking about in paragraph 3means that _________A). there is no end to the talking about....B). It is harmful to talk about….C). It is not meaningless to talk about....D). there is no reason for talking about48. Which of the following statements is true, according to the passage?A) Dead B)Worse C) Better D) UnclearPassage ThreePrices determine how resources are to be used. They are also the means by which products and services that are in limited supply are rationed among buyers. The price system of the United States is a complex network composed of the prices of all the products bought and sold in the economy as well as those of a myriad (无数,极大数量)of services, including labor, professional, transportation, and public-utility services. The interrelationships of all these prices make up the “system” of prices. The price of any particular product or service is linked to a broad, complicated system of prices in which everything seems to depend more or less upon everything else.If one were to ask a group of randomly selected individuals to define “price”, manywould reply that price is an amount of money paid by the buyer to the seller of a product or service or, in other words,that price is the money value of a product or service as agreed upon in a market transaction. This definition is, of course, valid as far as it goes. For a complete understanding of a price in any particular transaction, much more than the amount of money involved must be known. Both the buyer and the seller should be familiar with not only the money amount, but also the amount and quality of the product or service to be exchanged, the time and place at which the exchange will take place and payment will be made, the form of money to be used, the credit terms and discounts that apply to the transaction, guarantees on the product or service, delivery terms, return privileges, and other factors. In other words, both the buyer and the seller should be fully aware of all the factors that comprise the total “package” being exchanged for the asked-for amount of money in order that they may evaluate a given price.49. What is the best title for the passage?A) The Inherent Weaknesses of the Price System. B) The Complexities of the PriceSystemC) Credit Terms in Transactions D) Resource Allocation(分配,配给) and the PublicSector50. According to the passage, the price system is related primarily to _____.A) labor and education B) transportation an insuranceC) utilities and repairs D) products and services51. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT a factor in the completeunderstanding of price?A) Instructions that come with a product B) The quantity of a productC) The quality of a product D) Warranties (保单) that cover aproduct52. In the last sentence of the passage, the word “they” refers to _______.A) return privileges B) all the factors C) buyer and seller D) money53. The paragraph following the passage most likely discusses________.A) unusual ways to advertise productsB) types of payment plans for serviceC) theories about how products affect different levels of societyD) how certain elements of a price package influence its market valueSection B Short Answer Questions (4 points, 1 point each)Directions: Read the following two business letters.

(58)Academic writing among professionals is a way to create new knowledge. A professor assigns students to write a paper. (59)The students examine an issue, review what is already known, think about what they have learned and come to some conclusion. This means that each student-writer must present information and also take a position. The student might support an idea, question it or even disprove it. (60)Or the writer could show how the subject may be understood better or in a different way than it has been. And the student must support the position with evidence. Cultural differences may interfere when international students try to write this way. (61) Students in many countries have learned to write beautiful descriptions about something without ever stating the main idea. American college students are expected to state their main idea at the beginning of the paper. (62) In other cultures, paragraphs may be organized to build toward the main idea, which is revealed at the end.permission.。

After reading the following passages, you will find several questions or unfinished statements, numbered 31 through 50. For eachquestion or statement there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decideon the best choice.Passage OneFriends play an important part in our lives, and although we may take friendship for granted,we often don’t clearly understand how to make friends. While we get on well with a number of people, we are usually friends with only a very few—for example, the average among students is about 6 per person. In all the cases of friendly relationships, two people like one another and enjoy being together, but beyond that, the degree of intimacy (亲密) between them and the reasons for their shared interest vary enormously. As we get to know people, we take into account things like age, race, economic condition, social position, and intelligence. Although these factors are not of prime importance, it is more difficult to get on with people when there is a marked difference in age and background.Some friendly relationship can be kept on argument and discussion, but it is usual for close friends to have similar ideas and beliefs, to have attitudes and interests in common—they often talk about “being on the same wavelength”. It generally takes time to reach this point. And the more intimately involved people become, the more they rely on one another. People want to do friends favors and hate to break a promise. Equally, friends have to learn to put up with annoying habits and to tolerate differences of opinion.In contrast with marriage, there are no friendship ceremonies to strengthen the association between two people. But the supporting and understanding of each other that results from shared experience and emotions does seem to create a powerful bond, which can overcome differences in background, and break down barriers of age, class or race.31. According to the author, friends ______.A. are those who get on well with each otherB. are closer than people who just get on well with each otherC. must tolerate each other whatever they doD. are only those who are in need32. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. When we make friends, we write down their age, race and economic condition.B. The shared interest between friends is very enormous.C. Every ordinary student can make 6 friends during his college life.D. It is not easy to make friends with those of a marked difference in age and background.33. In paragraph 2, “being on the same wavelength” means ______.A. using the same frequency while talkingB. keeping the same friendly relationship as other people doC. having similar ideas, beliefs, attitudes and interestsD. having the same background34. According to the passage, ______.A. close friends depend on each otherB. friends never argue with each otherC. it takes time to become close friendsD. friends have no difference in interest35. It can be concluded that ______.A. common experiences and emotions can lead to mutual supporting and understandingB. friendship is bound by each other’s supporting powerC. there must be a promise to bond the association between peopleD. people of different age, race and social background can never be good friendsPassage TwoNormally a student must attend a certain number of courses in order to graduate. Each course which he attends gives him a credit which he may count towards a degree. In many American universities the total work for a degree consists of 36 courses, each lasts for a semester. A typical course consists of 3 classes per week for 15 weeks. While attending a university, a student will probably have 4 or 5 courses during each semester. Normally a student would expect to take 4 years, attending 2 semesters each year; it is possible to spread the period of work for the degree over a long period. It is also possible for a student to move from one university to another during his degree course, though this is not in fact one as a regular practice.For every course that he follows a student is given a grade, which is recorded, and the record is a variable for the student to show to the prospective employers. All this impose a constant pressure and strain of work affairs. Election’s positions in student organizations arouse much enthusiasm. The effective work of maintaining discipline is usually performed by students who advise the academic authorities. Any student who I thought to have broken the rule, for example, by cheating has to appear before a student court. With the enormous numbers of students, the operation of the system does involve a certain amount of activity. A student who has held one of these positions of authority is much respected and it will be of benefit to him later in his career.36. Normally a student would at least attend ______ classes each week.A. 36B.12C.20D. 1537. According to the first paragraph an American student is allowed _______.A. to live in a different universityB. to take a particular course in another universityC. to live at home and drive to classesD. to get two degrees from two different universities38. American university students are usually under pressure of work because ______.A. their academic performance will affect their future careersB. they are heavily involved in student affairsC. they have to observe the university disciplineD. they want to run for positions of authority39. Some students are enthusiastic for positions in student organizations probably because ______.A. they hate the constant pressure and strain of their studyB. they will then be able to stay longer in the universityC. such positions will help them get better jobs.D. such positions are usually well paid40. The student organizations seem to be affective in _______.A. dealing with the academic of the universityB. ensuring that the students observe university regulationsC. evaluating students performance by bring them to a courtD. keeping up the students’ enthusiasm for social activitiesPassage ThreeReading, so we're told, is fundamental to a child's education. But trying to get good books — not just the classics but also worthy contemporary works — into young hands is increasingly providing a bit of problems. Spotty teacher training, lack of library assistance (if not lack of libraries themselves) and fear of controversy all help push teachers toward outdated or inadequate book choices. Those who fight back have to take the risk of losing their jobs or even being taken to court. And the old reliable volumes aren't necessarily a shelter either. Such classics as The Grapes of Wrath and Catcher in the Rye are still frequently the object of parental protests.Supporters of more contemporary and challenging books say they energize kids and spur discussions about social realities that may already be affecting the classroom or community. Yet where should the line be drawn? Debbi Grizzi was stunned when she opened her 12-year-old’s backpack and discovered A Need to Kill, a graphic account of a child killer who fantasizes about murdering boys. "There has to be some check on what children are reading," she argues.Yet even the books parents love are gradually losing their universality. Mary Brigid Barrett, a famous writer, says she always has to stop and explain Charlotte's Web to teaching students, since half of them tend not to know it. "What is shocking is that nobody in education is willing to say there are writers, poems, essays and books all Americans should read," says education expert Diane Ravich. And less incentive for adventurous teachers to look for new ones.41. It is implied in the first paragraph that ____.A. it's difficult to find a proper book for children nowadaysB. some teachers dare not to use new contemporary booksC. some parents are against the use of some classic booksD. it's reliable to use those classic books42. Teachers who venture to use some new books may ____.A. be scolded by the parentsB. do better in their teachingC. be taken to courtD. attract more students43. "Spotty" in the first paragraph means ____.A. unevenly doneB. dirtyC. inadequateD. poor44. "They" in the second paragraph refers to ____.A. supportersB. teachersC. more contemporary and challenging booksD. classic works45. It can be inferred that Charlotte's Web used to be ____.A. very popular among childrenB. a book parents loved to readC. a book prohibited by the governmentD. very difficult to understandPassage FourIf you can't see the point of the structure of the back wheel on a bicycle, try riding a unicycle or watch an ant colony. Ants have realized that, to carry a heavy load, two supports are better than one — even if they seem quite mismatched.When army ants want to carry a piece of food too big for a single ant to transport, an unusually large worker ant takes the front, and an unusually small one, the back. Two such ants can carry a load heavier than the sum of their individual abilities.An ant pair is like a bicycle wheel. The small rear shifts the center of gravity between the two ends, making the whole system much more stable.This is another example of how social insects rely on the colony to pass on genes that drive them to evolve sophisticated cooperation. Teamwork makes the most of the colony's workforce.How big and little ants team up is a mystery. Army ant lines move at a constant rate; an ant struggling with a piece of meat bigger than it can manage might attract helpers by causing traffic congestion. And the alliances aren't permanent. They break up and do something else rather than go around together looking for another piece of food equally well suited to their capabilities as a couple.46. It is implied in the first paragraph that ____.A. the principle of bicycle can be reflected on antsB. riding a bicycle is like watching an ant colonyC. the back wheel on a bicycle is very importantD. ants can carry heavy loads47. An ant pair ____.A. must be made up of two ants of similar sizeB. can roll on the ground like a wheelC. usually consists of a big ant and a small oneD. are arranged by the queen ant48. The ant pair can move on steadily because ____.A. the ground is smoothB. the load is not heavyC. the rear ant shifts the gravity of the loadD. the front ant has a bigger strength49. Which of the following statements is true?A. An ant pair is usually fixed.B. Scientist still cannot explain why ants look mismatched in an ant pair.C. Only human beings know cooperation.D. Ants usually go out to search for food in pairs.50. An ant may not ____.A. team up with another antB. try to attract helpers when necessaryC. pass on genes that make them evolve cooperationD. be attached to the same partner all the timePart IV Translation (20 points, 2 points for each)Section A Translate the following English into Chinese.51.The exchange of goodwill missions greatly contributes to a better understanding between thetwo countries.52. Working parents gladly trade their shopping time for more time with their family.53. You can air your opinions, but don’t try to impose your ideas on others.54.

2012年普通高等学校招生统一考试新课标英语

2012年普通高等学校招生统一考试新课标英语IntroductionIn 2012, the new syllabus for the National College Entrance Examination (NCEE) in English was introduced. This article aims to explore the changes made to the exam and the reasons behind the adoption of the new standards. Additionally, the impact of the new syllabus on students and the benefits it brings to the education system will be discussed.BackgroundThe decision to revise the English exam syllabus came as a response to the evolving needs of students and the fast-paced global environment. The previous syllabus did not effectively equip students with the necessary English skills for real-life communication. Thus, the Ministry of Education decided to implement the new syllabus to better reflect the demands of the modern society.Changes in the SyllabusThe new syllabus focused on enhancing students' overall English proficiency, with an emphasis on both language knowledge and practical skills. It introduced four major changes:1. Communicative Competence: The exam placed a greater emphasis on students' ability to communicate effectively in English. This required students to not only have a good command of grammar and vocabulary but also to be able to express ideas coherently and fluently.2. Integrated Skills: The new syllabus integrated the four language skills of reading, listening, speaking, and writing. This helped students build a holistic understanding of the English language and improved their ability to apply their knowledge in various contexts.3. Contextualized Assessment: Instead of testing isolated language points, the new exam focused on assessing students' ability to use English in real-life situations. This included tasks such as role-plays, interviews, and opinion essays, which provided a more authentic evaluation of students' language abilities.4. Cultural Awareness: Understanding cultural diversity became an essential component of the exam. Students were required to demonstrate knowledge and appreciation of different cultures, which helped foster a global mindset and intercultural understanding.Impact on StudentsThe new syllabus has had a positive impact on students' English learning experience. Firstly, it encouraged students to develop a deep understanding of the language, rather than just memorizing vocabulary and grammar rules. This shift in approach has resulted in higher language acquisition and retention rates among students.Secondly, the new syllabus enhanced students' ability to express themselves confidently and eloquently in English. Students now have more opportunities to practice and engage in meaningful communication, both inside and outside the classroom. This has not only improved their English proficiency but also boosted their overall confidence and willingness to use the language.Benefits to the Education SystemThe adoption of the new syllabus has brought numerous benefits to the education system. Firstly, it has aligned the exam with international English language proficiency standards, enabling Chinese students to compete on a global scale. This has increased the overall reputation of Chinese education and opened up opportunities for international collaborations.Secondly, the new syllabus has fostered a more student-centered learning environment. By focusing on communication and practical skills, teachers have been encouraged to adopt more interactive and engaging teaching methods. This has resulted in higher student engagement and motivation, leading to improved learning outcomes.ConclusionThe introduction of the new syllabus for the 2012 NCEE in English has significantly improved the English language education in China. The emphasis on communicative competence, integrated skills, contextualized assessment, and cultural awareness has equipped students with the necessary skills for real-life communication. The impact on students and the benefits to the education system position the new syllabus as a crucial step towards enhancing English education in China.。

2012年全国高考英语试题及答案

2012年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试英语第二部分阅读理解(满分45分)第一节语篇阅读(每小题2分)第一节阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
(每小题2分)(A)Cold weather can hard on pets, just like it can be hard on people. Sometimes owners forget that their cats are just as used to the warm shelter (住所) as they are. Some owners will leave their animals outside for a long period of time, thinking that all animals are used to living outdoors. This can put their pets in danger of serious illness. There are things you can do to keep your animal warm and safe.Keep your pets inside as much as you can when the weather is bad. If you have to take them out, stay outside with them. When you’re cold enough to go inside, they probably are too. I you must leave them outside for a long time, make sure they have a warm, solid shelter against the wind, thick bedding, and plenty of non-frozen water.If left alone outside, dogs and cats can be very smart in their search for warm shelter. They can dig into snow banks or hide somewhere. Watch them closely when they are left outdoors, and provide them with shelter of good quality. Keep an eye on your pet’s water. Sometimes owners don’t realize that a water bowl has frozen and their pet can’t get anything to drink. Animals that don’t have clean and unfrozen water may drink dirty water outside, which may contain something unhealthy for them.41. What do we learn about pets from Paragraph 1?A. They are often forgotten by their owners.B. They are used to living outdoors.C. They build their won shelter.D. They like to stay in warm places.42. Why are pet owners asked to stay with their pets when they are out in cold weather?A. To know when to bring them inside.B. To keep them from eating bad food.C. To help them find shelters.D. To keep them company.43. If pets are left on their own outdoors in cold weather, they may ___.A. run short of clean waterB. dig deep holes for funC. dirty the snow nearbyD. get lost in the wild44. What is the purpose of this text?A. To solve a problem.B. To give practical advice.C. To tell an interesting story.D. To present a research result.(B)You may think that sailing is a difficult sport, but it is really not hard to learn it. You do not need to be strong. But you need to be quick. And you need to understand a few basic rules about the wind.First, you must ask yourself, “Where is the wind coming from? Is it coming from ahead or behind or from the side?” You must think about this all the time on the boat. The wind direction tells you what to do with the sail.L et’s start with the wind blowing from the behind. This means the wind and the boat are going in the same direction. Then you must always keep the sail outside the boat. It should be at a 90°angle (角度) to the boat. Then it will catch the wind best.If the wind is blowing from the side, it is blowing across the boat. In this case, you must keep the sail half way outside the boat. It should be at a 45° angle to the boat. It needs to be out far enough to catch the wind, but it shouldn’t flap (摆动). It shouldn’t look like on a flagpole. If it is flapping, it is probably out too far, and the boat will slow down.Sailing into the wind is not possible. If you try, the sail will flap and the boat will stop. You may want to go in that direction. It is possible, but you can’t go in a straight line. You must go first in one direction and then in another. This is called tacking. When you are tacking, you must always keep the sail inside the boat.45. What should you consider first while sailing?A. Sailors’ strength.B. Wave levels.C. Wind directions.D. Size of sails.46. What does the word “It” underlined in Paragraph 4 refer to?A. The boat.B. The wind.C. The sail.D. The angle.47. What do you have to do when sailing against the wind?A. Move in a straight line.B. Allow the sail to flap.C. Lower the sail.D. Tack the boat.48. Where can you probably find the text?A. In a popular magazine.B. In a tourist guidebook.C. In a physics textbook.D. In an official report.(C)Facial expressions carry meaning that is determined by situations and relationships. For example, in American culture (文化) the smile is in general an expression of pleasure. Yet it also has other uses.A woman’s smile at a police officer does not carry the same meaning as the smile she gives to a young child. A smile may show love or politeness. It can also hide true feelings. It often causes confusion (困惑) across cultures. For example, many people in Russia smiling at strangers in public to be unusual and even improper. Yet many Americans smile freely at strangers in public places (although this is less common in big cities). Some Russians believe that Americans smile in the wrong places; some Americans believe that Russians don’t smile enough. In Southeast Asian culture, a smile is frequently used to cover painful feelings. Vietnamese people may tell a sad story but end the story with a smile.Our faces show emotions (情感), but we should not attempt to “read”people from another culture as we would “read” someone from our own culture. The fact that members of one culture do not express their emotions as openly as do members of another does not mean that they do not experience emotions. Rather, there are cultural differences in the amount of facial expressionspermitted. For example, in public and in formal situations many Japanese do not show their emotions as freely as Americans do. When with friends, Japanese and Americans seem to show their emotions similarly.It is difficult to generalize about Americans and facial expressiveness because of personal and cultural differences in the United States. People from certain cultural backgrounds in the United States seem to be more facially expressive than others. The key is to try not to judge people whose ways of showing emotion are different. If we judge according to our own cultural habits, we may make the mistake of “reading” the other person incorrectly.49. What does the smile usually mean in the U.S.?A. Love.B. Politeness.C. Joy.D. Thankfulness.50. The author mentions the smile of the Vietnamese to prove that smile can ___ .A. show friendliness to strangersB. be used to hide true feelingsC. be used in the wrong placesD. show personal habits51. What should we do before attempting to “read” people?A. Learn about their relations with others.B. Understand their cultural backgrounds.C. Find out about their past experience.D. Figure out what they will do next.52. What would be the best title for the test?A. Cultural DifferencesB. Smiles and RelationshipC. Facial ExpressivenessD. Habits and Emotions(D)ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia – One of the world’s most famous fossils (化石) – the 3.2million-year-old Lucy skeleton (骨骼) unearthed in Ethiopia in 1974 – will go on an exhibition tour abroad for the first time in the United States, officials said Tuesday.Even the Ethiopian public has only seen Lucy twice. The Lucy on exhibition at the Ethiopian National Museum in the capital, Addis Ababa, is a replica while the real remains are usually locked in a secret storeroom. A team from the Museum of National Science in Houston, Texas, spent four years discussing with the Ethiopians for the U.S. tour, which will start in Houston next September.“Ethiopia’s rich culture of both the past and today, is one of the best kept secrets in the world,”said Joel Bartsch, director of the Houston museum.The six-year tour will also go to Washington, New York, Denver and Chicago. Officials said six other U.S. cities may be on the tour. But they said plans had not been worked out.Travelling with Lucy will be 190 other fossils.Lucy, her name taken from a Beatles song that played in a camp the night of her discovery, is part of the skeleton of what was once a 312-foot-tall ape-man (猿人).53. The author writes this text mainly to ___ .A. introduce a few U.S. museumsB. describe some research workC. discuss the value of an ape-manD. report a coming event54. What does the words “a replica” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. A painting of the skeleton.B. A photograph of LucyC. A copy of the skeleton.D. A written record of Lucy.55. How many cities has Lucy’s U.S. tour plan already included?A. Four.B. Five.C. Six.D. Eleven.56. What was the skeleton named after?A. An ape-man.B. A song.C. A singer.D. A camp.(E)Make Up Your Mind to SucceedKind-hearted parents have unknowingly left their children defenseless against failure. The generation born between 1980 and 2001 grew up playing sports where scores and performance were played down because “everyone’s winter.” And their report cards sounded more positive (正面的) than ever before. As a result, Stanford University professor Carol Dweck, PhD, calls them “the overpraised generation.”Dweck has been studying how people deal with failure for 40 years. Her research has led her to find out two clearly different mind-sets that have a great effect on how we react to it. Here’s how they work:A fixed mind-set is grounded in the belief that talent (才能) is genetic –you’re a born artist, point guard, or numbers person. The fixed mind-set believes it’s sure to succeed without much effort and regards failure as personal shame. When things get difficult, it’s quick to blame, lie, and even stay away from future difficulties.On the other hand, a growth mind-set believes that no talent is entirely heaven-sent and that effort and learning make everything possible. Because the ego (自尊) isn’t on the line as much, the growth mind-set sees failure as a chance rather than shame. When faced with a difficulty, it’s quick to rethink, change and try again. In fact, it enjoys this experience.We are all born with growth mind-sets. (Otherwise, we wouldn’t be able to live in the world.) But parents, teachers, and instructors often push us into fixed mind-sets by encouraging certain actions and misdirecting praise. Dweck’s book, Mind-set: The New Psychology of Success, and online instructional program explain this in depth. But she says there are many little things you can start doing today to make sure that your children, grandchildren and even you are never defeated by failure.57. What does the author think about the present generation?A. They don’t do well at school.B. They are often misunderstood.C. They are eager to win in sports.D. They are given too much praise.58. A fixed mind-set person is probably one who ___ .A. doesn’t want to work hardB. cares a lot about personal safetyC. cannot share his ideas with othersD. can succeed with the help of teachers59. What does the growth mind-set believe?A. Admitting failure is shameful.B. Talent comes with one’s birth.C. Scores should be highly valued.D. Getting over difficulties is enjoyable.60. What should parents do for their children based on Dweck’s study?A. Encourage them to learn from failures.B. Prevent them from making mistakes.C. Guide them in doing little things.D. Help them grow with praise.第二节根据对话内容,从对话后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

All men simply walk into a shop and ask the assistant for what they want. If the shop has it in 34 , the salesman promptly produces it, and the business of 35 it on proceeds at once. And if all 36 well, the deal can be and often is completed in less than five minutes, with 37 any chat and to everyone's satisfaction.Now how does a women go out buying clothes? Her shopping is not often _38 _on need. She has 39 fully decided what she wants, and she is only "having a look 40 ". She is always open to persuasion. Indeed she gets great store by what salesman tells her, even by what companions tell her. She will try on any number of things. Uppermost in her mind 41 the thought of finding something that everyone thinks suits her. 42 to a lot of jokes, Most women have an excellent sense of value and are always on the look-out for the unexpected _43_.

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

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

When he got home, he went upstairs to his bedroom and put them on. He found that they were about two inches too long. He came downstairs, where his mother and his two sisters were wa shing some things in the kitchen. "These new trousers are too lo ng. " He said. "They need shortening(缩短) by about two inches. Would one of you mind doing this for me, please?" His mother an d sisters were busy and none of them said anything. But as soon as his mother had finished washing up, she went quie tly upstairs to her son's bedroom and shortened the trousers by two inches. She came downstairs without saying anything to her d aughters. Later on, after supper, the elder sister remembered her brother' s trousers. She was a kind-hearted girl, so she went quietly ups tairs without saying anything to anyone, and shortened the trous ers by two inches. The younger sister went to the cinema, but when she came back, she, too, remembered what her brother had said. So she ran upsta irs and took two inches off the legs of the new trousers.41. The young man bought the new trousers ______ his size.A. as long asB. two inches longer thanC. as big asD. two inches shorter than42. He asked______ to shorten his new trousers. A. his mother and sisters B. his two sisters C. his elder sister D. his mother and one of his sisters43. His mother and sisters_______. A. agreed to do that B. didn't want to do that C. said nothing to him D. said something to him44. His elder sister shortened the trousers____. A. after finished washing B. before she went to bed C. when she came back from the cinema D. after having supper 45. The next morning the young man would find the trousers were ______ than his size.A. two inches shorterB. four inches shorterC. six inches shorterD. eight inches shorterBFive years ago, David Smi th wore an expensive suit to work every day. “I was a clothes addict(迷),” he jokes. “I used to carry a fresh suit to work with me so I could change if my clothes got wrinkled(皱的).” Today David wears casual clothes — khaki pants and a sports shirt — to the office. He hardly ever wears a necktie. “I’m working harder than ever,” David says, “and I need to feel comfortable.” More and more companies are allowing their office workers to wear casual clothes to work. In the United States, the changes from formal to casual office wear have been slow. In the early 1990s,many companies allowed their workers to wear casual clothes on Friday(but only on Friday).This became known as “dress-down Friday” or “casual Friday” “What started out as an extraone-day-a-week . bene fit for workers has really become an everyday thing,” said business adviser Maisly Jones.? Why have so many companies started allowing their workers to wear casual clothes? One reason is that it's easier for a company to attract new workers if it has a cas ual dress code. “A lot of young people don't want to dress up for work,” says the owner of a software company, “so it's hard to hire people if you have a conservative dress code.” Another reason is that people seem happier and more productive when they are wearing comfortable clothes. In a study made by Levi Strauss and Company, 85 percent of employers said that casual dress has a side effect on work. Supporters of casual office wear also say that a casual dress code helps them save money. “Suits are expens ive, if you have to wear one every day,” one person said. “For the same amount of money, you can buy a lot more casual clothes.”?46.David Smith refers to himself as having been “a clothes addict” because ______________.A. he often wore khaki pants and a sports shirt ?B. he couldn't stand a clean appearance ?C. he wanted his clothes to look tidy and clean all the time ?D. he didn’t want to spend much money on clothes ?47. David Smith wears casual clothes now, because ______________.?A. they make him feel at ease when working ?B. he cannot afford to buy expensive clothes ?C. he looks handsome in casual clothes ?D. he no longer works for any company ?48 According to this passage, which of the following is FALSE?A. Many workers don’t like a conservative dress code.?B. Comfortable clothes make workers more productive.?C. A casual clothes code is welcomed by young workers.?D. All the employers in the U.S. are for casual office wear.?49. According to this passage, which of the following is TRUE?A. Company workers started to dress down about twenty years ago.?B. Dress-down has become an everyday phenomenon since the early 1990s.?C. “Dress-down Friday” was first given as a favor from employers.?D. Many workers want to wear casual clothes to impress people.?50. In this passage, the following advantages of casual office wear are mentioned EXCEPT ______________.?A. saving worker’s moneyB. making workers more attractive ?C. improving worker’s feelingD. making workers happier friends and study foreign culture there.III. 英译汉(本大题共 5 小题,每小题4 分,共20 分)51 We should make a good use of spare time。
