Reading Comprehension (40 points)Directions: There are four passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.Passage 1Questions 36—40 are based on the following passageTo understand how Americans think about things, it is necessary to understand “the point”. Americans mention it often: “Let’s get right to the point,” they will say. “My point is …”“What is the point of all this?”The “point” is the idea of the piece of information that Americans suppose is, or should be, at the center of people’ thinking, writings, and spoken comments. Speakers and writers are supposed to “make their points clear”, meaning that they are supposed to say or write clearly the idea of information they wish to express.People from many other cultures have different ideas about the point. Africans traditionally tell stories that express the thoughts they have in mind, rather than stating the point is. Thus, while an American might say to a friend , “I don’t think that coat goes very well with the rest of your outfit,” a Japanese might say , “Maybe this other coat would look eve n better than the one you have on .”Americans value a person who “gets right to the point.” Japanese are likely to consider such a person insensitive if not rude.The Chinese and Japanese languages are characterized by vagueness(模糊) and ambiguity(歧义).The precision and directness Americans associate with “the point” cannot be achieved ,and lest not with any grace, in Chinese and Japanese. Speakers of those languages thus have to learn a new way of reasoning and expressing their ideas if they are going to communicate satisfactorily with Americans.36. According to the passage, American expect speakers and writers to ______A. be clear about their man ideasB. give as much information as possibleC. express their personal viewsD. be honest about their true feelings37. Which of the following people will tell a story to express what they have in mind?A. AmericansB. AfricansC. JapaneseD. Chinese38. In the sentence “I don’t think that coat goes very well with the rest of your outfit”, the word “outfit” most probably means_____.A. officeB. timeC. speechD. clothes39. According to the passage, the Japanese may consider it unacceptable to be_____.A. indirectB. straightforwardC. poorly-dressedD. curious40. In order to communicate with Americans satisfactorily, speakers of Chinese need to____A. lean the language wellB. change their way of thinkingC. be careful about their choice of wordsD. explain their reasons clearlyPassage 2Questions 36—40 are based on the following passageMany young people tell me they want to be writers. I always encourage such people, but I also explain that there’s big difference between “being a writer” and writing. In most cases these young people are dreaming of wealth and fame, not the long hours lonely at a typewriter. “You’ve got to want write,”I say to them, “not want to be a writer.”The reality is that writing is lonely, private and poor-paying. for every writer kissed by fortune there are thousands more whose longing is never realized. When I left a 20-year career in the U. S. Army to become a freelance writer (自由撰稿者), I had expectation at all. What I did have was a friend who found me my room in a New York apartment building. It didn’t even matter that it was cold and had no bathroom. I immediately bought a used typewriter and felt like a true writer.After a year or so, however, I still hadn’t gotten any breakthrough and began to doubt myself. It was so hard to sell story that I barely made enough to eat .But I knew I wanted to write. I had dreamed about it for years. I wasn’t going to be one of those people who gave up halfway. I would keep putting my dream to the test---even though it meant living with uncertaintyand fear of failure. This is the shadow-land of hope, and anyone with a dream must learn to live there.41. The passage means to ______A. warn young people of the hardships that a writer has to experienceB. advise young people to give up their idea of becoming a professional writerC. show young people it’s unrealistic for a writer to pursue wealth and fameD. encourage young people to pursue a writing career42. What can be concluded from the passage?A. Genuine writers often find their work interesting and rewarding.B.A writer’s success depends on luck rather than on effort.C. Famous writers usually live in poverty and isolationD. The chance for a writer to become successful are small.43. Why did the author begin to doubt himself after the first year of his writing career?A. He wasn’t able to produce a single book.B. He wasn’t able to have a rest fo r a whole year.C. He found his dream would never come true.D. He hadn’t seen a change for the better.44. When the author began writing, he only had_____.A. a second-hand typewriter.B. a friend who helped him find a room to liveC. a cold room without a bathroomD. empty expectations of his future45. “shadow-land” in the last sentence refers to_____.A. the piece of land one often dreams aboutB. the state of uncertainty before one’s final goal is reachedC. the bright future that one is looking forward toD. a world that exists only in one’s imaginationPassage 3Questions 36—40 are based on the following passageMy friend Mike was shaking his head in disbelief. “That young woman who just waited onme ,”he said ,pointing to an employee of the fas t food restaurant where we eating , “had to call someone over to help her count out the change .the cash register(出纳机) showed her I need 99 nets ,but she couldn’t figure out how to count out the coins .”I understood Mike’s concern .What we have done in thi s country ,although unintentionally ,is to create several generations of individuals most of most of whom have no idea how to reason, how to do simple math ,how to do research ,or finally how to be creative .The reason for this is our overuse of information technology :video games, television, digital watches, calculators, and computer. information technology feeds us information without requiring us to think about it and let us perform operations without understanding them.It is time for us to take a hand look at an educational system that only teaches our children how to push buttons. Our kids can’t tell time if the clock has hands .they can use calculators but cannot add, subtract, divide or multiply. Video games have taken the place of active imaginative play .Although most of them are technically literate ,they choose not to read .They are so used to television and movies that they cannot use their imagination to stay interested in a book .It is not enough to recognize the problem. What we need is solution .the one I offer is simple to suggest , but may be impossible to carry out. We must unplug our children .If wedon’t, they will never learn how to solve problems. They will never learn basic reasoning skills and will certainly not develop creativity .Instead of filling classrooms with electronics, let’s to perform computer operations, but to figure and to figure and reason for themselves. They must see how things work and how process leads to results, they must also stretch their imagination.46. What seems to be the problem of the employee of the fast food restaurant?A. She does not know how to count coins.B. She is unable to solve simple math problem.C. She has no small change for the customers.D. She does not know how to operate cash registers47. What is the author’s and his friend Mike’s concern?A. The educational system is now creating people who can’t think for themselves.B. People now rarely do things on their own.C. Computers feed us too much information nowadays.D. The restaurant does not provide good service.48. For children to have imaginative minds, they must_____.A. be born with talentsB. be taught to read the right booksC .be dragged away from machinesD. have a large vocabulary49. What is the most probable meaning of “unplug o ur children” in the last paragraph?A. Give them freedom of enjoying themselves.B. Teach themC. Get them off TV and computer games.D. Turn off all the power in the schools.50. The conclusion of the article is that the authorbelieves_____A. electronics should have no place in classroomsB. information technology helps us to do things we do not understandC. all books benefit children more than anything elseD. information technology is new being overusedPassage4Questions 36—40 are based on the following passageAll of us communicate with one another nonverbally(不使用语言地)，as well as with words. Most of the time we’re not aware that we are doing it. We gesture with elbows or a hand, meet someone else’s eyes and look away, change positions in a c hair. These actions we assume are occasional. However in recent years researchers have discovered that there is a system to them almost as consistent and understandable as language.One important kind of body language is eye behavior. Americans are careful about how and when they meet one another’s eyes. In our normal conversation, each eye contact lasts only about a second before one or both of us look away. When two Americans look searchingly into each other’s eyes, they become more intimate. Therefore, we carefully avoid this, except in suitable situations.Researchers who are engaged in the study of communication through body movement are not prepared to spell out a precise vocabulary of gestures. When an American rubs his nose, it may mean he is disagreeing with someone or refusing something. But there are other possible interpretations(解释)，too. Anther example: when a student in conversation with a professor holds the older man’s eyes a little longer than is usual, it can be sign of respect; it can be a challenge to the professor’s authority; itcan be something else entirely. The researches look for patterns in the situation, not for a separate meaningful gesture.Communications between human beings would be just dull if it were all done with words.51. The main idea of this article is that________A. study of communication through body movement is a new scienceB. body movements are as important as words in communicationC. all of us communicate with one anotherD. eye behavior is the most important part in body language52. What do researchers think of body language?A. Body language can be understood and used by people in communication.B. Body language is more important than spoken language in communication.C. Body language has been discovered in recent years.D. Body language is the study of communication via body movement.53. The word“intimate” in paragraph two probably means______.A. greatB. closeC. goodD. important54. According to the passage, you make an American person feel uncomfortable if you_____.A. meet his eyesB. avoid meeting his eyesC. stare into his eyes for one secondD. look into his eyes for a long time55. The sentence “the researchers look for patterns in the situation, not for a separate meaningful gesture” means______.A. the researchers explain the meaning of a gesture according to the situation in which it is usedB. the researchers believe that one gesture has only one meaningC. the researchers think that one gesture cannot be used in different situationsD. the researchers look for patterns in textbooks to explain the meaning of a gestureV.

Each passage is followed by some questions or incomplete statements. For each of them there are 4 choicesmarked A, B, C and D. You should decideon the best choice, and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet. Passage OneA wealthy Persian Prince loved good stories.The older he grew，the fonder he became of them.But he always regretted they had to have an end. So he decided to give halfhis wealth and his beautiful daughter tothe man who could tell him a story without an end. Anybody who failed would be sent to prisonfor life. The risk was so great that nobody came to the palace to tell thePrince a story for a whole year. Then one day a tall, handsome young man came and said he wanted to tell a storythat would go on forever. The prince agreed but warned him what would happen if he failed.“The risk is worththe head of your fair daughter, ”the young man replied poetically（得体地）. He then beganthis well-known story:“Once upon a time there was a certain King who feared famine. So heordered his men to build an enormous storehouse, which he filled with corn.Then, when it was up, made water-proof and made fire-proof, the King felthappy. But one day he noticed a small hole inthe roof and as he looked at it, a locustcame out with a grain of corn. A minute later, another locust came out with another grain of corn.Then a third locust with another grain of corn. Then a fourth locust, flying at great speed, pushed through the hole andcame out with two grains of corn. Then afifth locust came and …”“Stop” shouted the Prince. “I can’t,” answeredthe young man. “I must go on until I tell you what happened to each grain ofthe corn.” “But that will go on for ever.” The Prince protested. “Exactly” the young man replied,and he smiled as he turned towards the Prince’s beautiful young daughter.41. The Prince always felt regretted aboutstory because _________.A. he had too much wealthB. there was terrible famineC. all stories have endsD. there was no story-teller42. The young man risked to tell an endlessstory to the Prince for _________.A. a great sumB. the prince’s beautiful daughterC. showing his braveryD. Both A and C43.

The thing the king noticed first in theroof was _________.A. a loafB. a small holeC. a grain of cornD. a locustPassage TwoPackaging is an important form ofadvertising. A package can sometimes motivate someone to buy a product. Forexample, a small child might ask for a breakfast food that comes in a box witha picture of a TV character. The child is more interested in the picture thanin the breakfast food. Pictures for children to color or cut out, games printedon a package, or small gifts inside a box also motivate many children to buyproducts or to ask their parents for them. Some packages suggest that a buyerwill get something for nothing. Food products sold in reusable containers are examples of this.Although a similar product in a plain container might cost less, people often prefer to buythe product in a reusable glass or dish, because they believe the container isfree. However, the cost of the container is added to the cost of the product. Thesize of a package also motivates a buyer. Maybe the package has “EconomySize” printed on it. This suggests thatthe large size has the most product for the least money. But that is not always true. To find out, a buyerhas to know how the product is sold and the price of the basic unit. The information on thepackage should provide some answers. But the important thing for any buyer toremember is that a package is often an advertisement. The words and pictures donot tell the whole story. Only the product inside can do that.46. Which of the following statements couldbest summarize the main idea of the passage?A. Children areinterested in some packages of products.B. Package is one of the important ways ofadvertising.C. People prefer to buy the products inplain containers.D. The size of a package usually motivatesa buyer.47. The phrase “a buyer will get somethingfor nothing” ( Line 1, Para 2 ) probably means _________.A. a buyer will get something free ofchargeB. a buyer will get something uselessC. a buyer will get something usefulD. nothing is worth buying48. Which of the following statements isNOT true according to the passage?A. Sometimes people are easily motivated bypackages.B. Small children sometimes are moreinterested in games printed on a package than the product itself.C. A product in a reusable container mustbe cheaper than a similar product in a plain container. ,D. “Economy Size”doesn t always suggestthat people can buy the most product forthe least money49. What does the word “ them ” ( Line6, Para. 1 ) refer to? _________.A. Small giftsB. PicturesC. GamesD. Products50. What does the author imply in the lastparagraph?A. Package is just an advertisement.B. Buyers shouldn’t believe the informationon the package too much.C. The package has nothing to do at allwith the product.D. Buyers can always find answers in theinformation on the package.Passage ThreeFor any Englishman, there can never be anydiscussion as to who is the world’s greatest poet and greatest dramatist. Onlyone name can possibly suggest itself to him: that of William Shakespeare. EveryEnglishman has some knowledge, however slight, of the work our greatest writer.All of us use words, phrases and quotations from Shakespeare’s writings that have become part ofthecommon property of English-speaking people. Most of the time we are probably unaware of thesource of the words we use, rather like the old lady who was taken to see a performance of HAMLETand complained that “it was full of well-knownproverbs and quotations.” Shakespeare,more perhaps than any other writer, made full use of the great resources of the English language. Most of us use aboutfive thousand words in our normal employment of English; Shakespeare in his works used about twenty-fivethousand. There is probably no betterway for a foreigner to appreciate the richness and variety of the English language than by studying the various ways inwhich Shakespeare used it. Such a study is well worth the effort (it is not, of course, recommended to beginners)even though some aspects of Englishusage, and the meaning of many words, have changed since Shakespeare’s day.51. English people_________.A. have never discussed who is the world’sgreatest poet and greatest dramatistB. never discuss about the world’s greatestpoets or dramatistsC. are sure who is the world’s greatestpoet and greatest dramatistD. do not care who is the world’s greatestpoet and greatest dramatist52. Every Englishman knows_________.A. more or less about ShakespeareB. Shakespeare, but only slightlyC. all the Shakespeare’s writingsD. only the name of greatest Englishwriter53. Which of the following is TRUE?A. We use all the words, phrases andquotations from Shakespeare’s writings.B. Shakespeare’s writings have become theproperty of those who are learning to speak English.C. It is likely to be true that peopleoften do not know the origin of the words they use.D. All the words people use are taken fromShakespeare’s writings.54. “HAMLET” is _________.A. a play written by ShakespeareB. a play recommended by ShakespeareC. a play appreciated by ShakespeareD. a play people have been complainingabout55. It is worthwhile to study the variousways in which Shakespeare used English because _________.A. English words have changed a lot sinceShakespeare’s timeB. by doing so one can be fully aware ofthe richness of English languageC. English words are now being used in thesame way as in Shakespeare’s daysD. English words are now the same invarious ways as in Shakespeare’ daysPassage FourMost cities and/or states in the U. S.collect a sales tax on almost everything you buy. You must ask when you moveinto a new community how much the local sales tax is, and what items are and are not taxable. Bothtaxable items and the amount of tax vary considerably from place, from one of two percent in some places up toeight or ten in others. The New YorkCity sales tax, for examples, is currently 8%, so if you buy a pair of $40 shoes you will actually have to pay $43.20. This makes paying and getting correct change much more difficult (not to mention makingeverything more expensive).Another thing that makes money changes morecomplicated is tipping. The Chinese people have happily put an end to tipping, but Westerners are stillplagued(遭受折磨) with this indignity.Waiters and waitresses, cab drivers, hotel bellboys, barbers andhairdressers and all sorts of otherpeople must be tipped. Their employers give them low wages because it is expected that you, the customer, willmake up the difference. If you don't, the service person can't earn a living. Tipping alsovaries from place to place, generally in the area of 15% of your bill (before taxes), but againyou should ask local residents whom to tip and how much. There isanother kind of tipping as well. You are generally expected to givesomething (either cash or a bottle ofwhisky) to the mailman at Christmas time. You should discuss this also with neighbors and friends.56. The main idea of this passage is_________.A. shopping and tippingB. sales and shoppingC. sales taxes and tippingD. sales taxes and people57. According to the passage, if you buy apair of $ 50 shoes in the New York City, you pay extra _________as sales tax.A. $4.5B. $4C. $5D. $5.558. Usually, cab drivers _________.A. get high wages from the employerB. get great benefits from theemployerC. get low wages from the employerD. get prize from the employer59. According to the passage, which of thefollowing statements is true?A. The Chinese people have to pay tips inwestern countries.B. The westerners don't have to pay hightips in their own country.C. Barbers, hotel bellboys and all sorts ofother people can earn a living if they are not tipped.D. Tipping varies from place to place,generally in the area of 20% of your bill.60. Usually, taxable items and the amountof tax_________.A. have no difference from place to placein the U. S.B. are over 15% in the U. S.C. have been put an end in the U. S.D. vary from place to place in the U. S.Part ⅢCloze (20points)Directions: There are 20 blanks in thefollowing passage.

The older he grew，the fonder he became of them. But he always regretted they had to have an end. So he decided to give half his wealth and his beautiful daughter to the man who could tell him a story without an end. Anybody who failed would be sent to prison for life.

A package can sometimes motivate someone to buy a product. For example, a small child might ask for a breakfast food that comesin a box with a picture of a TV character. The child is more interested in the picture than in the breakfast food. Pictures for children to color or cut out, games printed on a package, orsmall gifts inside a box also motivate many children to buy products or to ask their parents for them. Some packages suggest that a buyer will get something for nothing. Food products sold in reusable containers are examples of this. Although a similar product in a plain container might cost less, people often prefer to buy the product in a reusable glass or dish, because they believe the container is free. However, the cost of the container is added to the cost of the product. The size of a package also motivates a buyer. Maybe the package has “Economy Size” printed on it. This suggests that the large size has the most product for the least money. But that is not always true. To find out, a buyer has to know how the product is sold and the price of the basic unit. The information on the package should provide some answers. But the important thing for any buyer to remember is that a package is often an advertisement. The words and pictures do not tell the whole story. Only the product inside can do that.Which of the following statements could best summarize the main idea of the passage? （分数：2.00）A.Children are interested in some packages of products.B.Package is one of the important ways of advertising. √C.People prefer to buy the products in plain containers.D.The size of a package usually motivates a buyer.解析：47.

Only one name can possibly suggest itself to him: that of William Shakespeare. Every Englishman has some knowledge, however slight, of the work our greatest writer.

There is probably no better way for a foreigner to appreciate the richness and variety of the English language than by studying the various ways in which Shakespeare used it. Such a study is well worth the effort (it is not, of course, recommended to beginners) even though some aspects of English usage, and the meaning of many words, have changed since Shakespeare’s day.English people_________. （分数：2.00）A.have never discussed who is the world’s greatest poet and greatest dramatistB.never discuss about the world’s greatest poets or dramatistsC.are sure who is the world’s greatest poet and greatest dramatist√D.do not care who is the world’s greatest poet and greatest dramatist解析：52.Every Englishman knows_________.（分数：2.00）A.more or less about Shakespeare √B.Shakespeare, but only slightlyC.all the Shakespeare’s writingsD.only the name of greatest English writer解析：53.Which of the following is TRUE?（分数：2.00）A.We use all the words, phrases and quotations from Shakespeare’s writings.B.Shakespeare’s writings have become the property of those who are learning to speak English.C.It is likely to be true that people often do not know the origin of the words they use. √D.All the words people use are taken from Shakespeare’s writings.解析：54. “HAMLET” is _________.（分数：2.00）A.a play written by Shakespeare √B.a play recommended by ShakespeareC.a play appreciated by ShakespeareD.a play people have been complaining about解析：55. It is worthwhile to study the various ways in which Shakespeare used English because _________. （分数：2.00）A.English words have changed a lot since Shakespeare’s timeB.by doing so one can be fully aware of the richness of English language √C.English words are now being used in the same way as in Shakespeare’s daysD.English words are now the same in various ways as in Shakespeare’ days解析：56.Passage Four Most cities and/or states in the U. S. collect a sales tax on almost everything you buy. You must ask when you move into a new community how much the local sales tax is, and what items are and are not taxable. Both taxable items and the amount of tax vary considerably from place, from one of two percent in some places up to eight or ten in others. The New York City sales tax, for examples, is currently 8%, so if you buy a pair of $ 40 shoes you will actually have to pay $ 43.20. This makes paying and getting correct change much more difficult (not to mention making everything more expensive). Another thing that makes money changes more complicated is tipping. The Chinese people have happily put an end to tipping, but Westerners are still plagued(遭受折磨) with this indignity. Waiters and waitresses, cab drivers, hotel bellboys, barbers and hairdressers and all sorts of other people must be tipped. Their employers give them low wages because it is expected that you, the customer, will make up the difference. If you don't, the service person can't earn a living. Tipping also varies from place to place, generally in the area of 15% of your bill (before taxes), but again you should ask local residents whom to tip and how much. There is another kind of tipping as well. You are generally expected to give something (either cash or a bottle of whisky) to the mailman at Christmas time. You should discuss this also with neighbors and friends.The main idea of this passage is _________. （分数：2.00）A.shopping and tippingB.sales and shoppingC.sales taxes and tipping √D.sales taxes and people解析：57.According to the passage, if you buy a pair of $ 50 shoes in the New York City, you pay extra _________as sales tax.（分数：2.00）A.$4.5B.$4 √C.$5D.$5.5解析：58. Usually, cab drivers _________.（分数：2.00）A.get high wages from the employerB.get great benefits from the employerC.get low wages from the employer √D.get prize from the employer解析：59.According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?（分数：2.00）A.The Chinese people have to pay tips in western countries. √B.The westerners don't have to pay high tips in their own country.C.Barbers, hotel bellboys and all sorts of other people can earn a living if they are not tipped.D.Tipping varies from place to place, generally in the area of 20% of your bill.解析：ually, taxable items and the amount of tax_________.（分数：2.00）A.have no difference from place to place in the U. S.B.are over 15% in the U. S.C.have been put an end in the U. S.D.vary from place to place in the U.

2009年河南专升本英语真题重难点解析

Passage 2
参考译文包装是广告的一个非常重要的部分。一个好的包装有时会促使人们购买某种产品，例如，一个小孩子可能会因为包装盒子上印有一个电视演员的图片而要买那份早餐食品，小孩子对图片的兴趣远远大于他对早餐的兴趣。一些供小孩子涂色或者剪切的图片，包装上印刷的游戏，盒子中装着的小礼物同样会促使许多小孩购买产品——或者叫他们的父母为他们买。有些包装显示，有的购买者买一件东西，却什么也不图。那些包装在可重复使用的容器中的食物产品就是例证。尽管装在一个普通容器中的同样的产品价钱要低一些，但是，因为人们认为包装是免费的，所以他们通常还是更喜欢购买装在可重复利用的玻璃器皿中的产品。然而，包装的成本是计算在产品的成本中的。包装的尺寸同样也会促使人购买。包装上可能印有“经济型”或者 “家庭型”，这表明大号的包装产品最多，而价格最低。但是事实上这并不总是对的，要看是否真是这样，买者要知道该产品是怎么出售的，每单位卖多少钱。包装上的信息应该可以提供一些答案。但是对于任何一个买家来说，最重要的事情是要记住，包装就是广告。包装上的词和图片并不是事情的全部，只有里面的产品才是。
12. aux.+ have done
1. “must have done”表示对过去事情的肯定推测，译成“一定
做过某事”，该结构只用于肯定句。 eg. It must have rained last night, for the ground is wet. 昨晚一定下雨了，因为地面还是湿的。否定句一般用“can„t have done”表示对过去事情的否定推测，译成“不可能做过某事”。 Mary can't have stolen your money. She has gone home. 玛丽不可能偷你的钱，她回家去了。

Each passage is followed by some questions or incomplete statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice, and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneA wealthy Persian Prince loved good stories. The older he grew，the fonder he became of them. But he always regretted they had to have an end. So he decided to give half his wealth and his beautiful daughter to the man who could tell him a story without an end. Anybody who failed would be sent to prison for life. The risk was so great that nobody came to the palace to tell the Prince a story for a whole year. Then one day a tall, handsome young man came and said he wanted to tell a story that would go on forever. The prince agreed but warned him what would happen if he failed. “The risk is worth the head of your fair daughter, ” the young man replied poetically（得体地）. He then began this well-known story: “Once upon a time there was a certain King who feared famine. So he ordered his men to build an enormous storehouse, which he filled with corn. Then, when it was up, made water-proof and made fire-proof, the King felt happy. But one day he noticed a small hole in the roof and as he looked at it, a locust came out with a grain of corn. A minute later, another locust came out with another grain of corn. Then a third locust with another grain of corn. Then a fourth locust, flying at great speed, pushed through the hole and came out with two grains of corn. Then a fifth locust came and …”“Stop” shouted the Prince. “I can’t,” answered the young man. “I must go on until I tell you what happened to each grain of the corn.” “But that will go on for ever.” The Prince protested. “Exactly” the young man replied, and he smiled as he turned towards the Prince’s beautiful young daughter.41. The Prince always felt regretted about story because _________.A. he had too much wealthB. there was terrible famineC. all stories have endsD. there was no story-teller42. The young man risked to tell an endless story to the Prince for _________.A. a great sumB. the prince’s beautiful daughterC. showing his braveryD. Both A and C43. The young man would be sent to prison _________ if he failed to tell a story without an end.A. foreverB. for some timeC. for a whileD. for a year44.In order to prevent famine, the King asked to build _________.A. a huge storehouseB. a large farmC. a beautiful palaceD. a waterproof kitchen45. The thing the king noticed first in the roof was _________.A. a loafB. a small holeC. a grain of cornD. a locustPassage TwoPackaging is an important form of advertising. A package can sometimes motivate someone to buy a product. For example, a small child might ask for a breakfast food that comes in a box with a picture of a TV character. The child is moreinterested in the picture than in the breakfast food. Pictures for children to color or cut out, games printed on a package, or small gifts inside a box also motivate many children to buy products or to ask their parents for them.Some packages suggest that a buyer will get something for nothing. Food products sold in reusable containers are examples of this. Although a similar product in a plain container might cost less, people often prefer to buy the product in a reusable glass or dish, because they believe the container is free. However, the cost of the container is added to the cost of the product.The size of a package also motivates a buyer. Maybe the package has “Economy Size” printed on it. This suggests that the large size has the most product for the least money. But that is not always true. To find out, a buyer has to know how the product is sold and the price of the basic unit.The information on the package should provide some answers. But the important thing for any buyer to remember is that a package is often an advertisement. The words and pictures do not tell the whole story. Only the product inside can do that.46. Which of the following statements could best summarize the main idea of the passage?A. Children are interested in some packages of products.B. Package is one of the important ways of advertising.C. People prefer to buy the products in plain containers.D. The size of a package usually motivatesa buyer.47.The phrase “a buyer will get something for nothing” (Line 1, Para 2) probably means _________.A. a buyer will get something free of chargeB. a buyer will get something uselessC. a buyer will get something usefulD. nothing is worth buying48.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A. Sometimes people are easily motivated by packages.B. Small children sometimes are more interested in games printed on a package than the product itself.C. A product in a reusable container must be cheaper than a similar product in a plain container.D. “Economy Size”doesn’t always suggest that people can buy the most product for the least money.49.What do es the word “them” (Line 6, Para. 1) refer to? _________.A. Small giftsB. PicturesC. GamesD. Products50. What does the author imply in the last paragraph?A. Package is just an advertisement.B. Buyers shouldn’t believe the information on the package too much.C. The package has nothing to do at all with the product.D. Buyers can always find answers in the information on the package.Passage ThreeFor any Englishman, there can never be any discussion as t o who is the world’s greatest poet and greatest dramatist. Only one name can possibly suggest itself to him: that of William Shakespeare. Every Englishman has some knowledge, however slight, of the work our greatest writer. All of us use words, phrases and quotations from Shakespeare’s writings that have become part of the common property of English-speaking people. Most of the time we are probably unaware of the source of the words we use, rather like the old lady who was taken to see a performance ofHAML ET and complained that “it was full of well-known proverbs and quotations.” Shakespeare, more perhaps than any other writer, made full use of the great resources of the English language. Most of us use about five thousand words in our normal employment of English; Shakespeare in his works used about twenty-five thousand. There is probably no better way for a foreigner to appreciate the richness and variety of the English language than by studying the various ways in which Shakespeare used it. Such a study is well worth the effort (it is not, of course, recommended to beginners) even though some aspects of English usage, and the meaning of many words, have changed since Shakespeare’s day.51. English people_________.A. have never discussed who is the wor ld’s greatest poet and greatest dramatistB. never discuss about the world’s greatest poets or dramatistsC. are sure who is the world’s greatest poet and greatest dramatistD. do not care who is the world’s greatest poet and greatest dramatist52. Every Englishman knows_________.A. more or less about ShakespeareB. Shakespeare, but only slightlyC. all the Shakespeare’s writingsD. only the name of greatest English writer53. Which of the following is TRUE?A. We use all the words, phrases and quotations from Shakespeare’s writings.B. Shakespeare’s writings have become the property of those who are learning to speak English.C. It is likely to be true that people often do not know the origin of the words they use.D. All the words people use are taken from Shakespeare’s writings.54. “HAMLET” is _________.A. a play written by ShakespeareB. a play recommended by ShakespeareC. a play appreciated by ShakespeareD. a play people have been complaining about55.It is worthwhile to study the various ways in which Shakespeare used English because _________.A. English words have changed a lot since Shakespeare’s timeB. by doing so one can be fully aware of the richness of English languageC. English words are now being used in the same way as in Shakespeare’s daysD. English words are now the same in various ways as in Shakespeare’ daysPassage FourMost cities and/or states in the U. S. collect a sales tax on almost everything you buy. You must ask when you move into a new community how much the local sales tax is, and what items are and are not taxable. Both taxable items and the amount of tax vary considerably from place, from one of two percent in some places up to eight or ten in others. The New York City sales tax, for examples, is currently 8%, so if you buy a pair of $ 40 shoes you will actually have to pay $ 43.20. This makes paying and getting correct change much more difficult (not to mention making everything more expensive).Another thing that makes money changes more complicated is tipping. The Chinese people have happily put an end to tipping, but Westerners are still plagued(遭受折磨) with this indignity. Waiters and waitresses, cab drivers, hotel bellboys, barbers and hairdressers and all sorts of other people must be tipped. Their employers give them low wages because it is expected that you, the customer, will make up the difference. If you don't, the service person can't earn aliving. Tipping also varies from place to place, generally in the area of 15% of your bill (before taxes), but again you should ask local residents whom to tip and how much. There is another kind of tipping as well. You are generally expected to give something (either cash or a bottle of whisky) to the mailman at Christmas time. You should discuss this also with neighbors and friends.56.The main idea of this passage is _________.A. shopping and tippingB. sales and shoppingC. sales taxes and tippingD. sales taxes and people57. According to the passage, if you buy a pair of $ 50 shoes in the New York City, you pay extra _________as sales tax.A. $4.5B. $4C. $5D. $5.558. Usually, cab drivers _________.A. get high wages from the employerB. get great benefits from the employerC. get low wages from the employerD. get prize from the employer59. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?A. The Chinese people have to pay tips in western countries.B. The westerners don't have to pay high tips in their own country.C. Barbers, hotel bellboys and all sorts of other people can earn a living if they are not tipped.D. Tipping varies from place to place, generally in the area of 20% of your bill. 60. Usually, taxable items and the amount of tax_________.A. have no difference from place to place in the U. S.B. are over 15% in the U. S.C. have been put an end in the U.

But he always regretted they had to have an end. So he decided to give half his wealth and his beautiful daughter to the man who could tell him a story without an end. Anybody who failed would be sent to prison for life. The risk was so great that nobody came to the palace to tell the Prince a story for a whole year. Then one day, a tall, handsome young man came and said he wanted to tell a story that would go on forever. The Prince agreed but warned him what would happen if he failed. “The risk is worth your fair daughter,” the young man replied poetically (得体地). He then began this well known story:“Once upon a time there was a certain King who feared famine. So he ordered his men to build an enormous storehouse, which he filled with corn. Then, when it was up, made water proof and fire proof, the King felt happy. But one day he noticed a small hole in the roof and as he looked at it, a locust came out with a grain of corn. A minute later, another locust came out with another grain of corn. Then a third locust with another grain of corn. Then a fourth locust, flying at great speed, pushed through the hole and came out with two grains of corn. Then a fifth locustcame and...”“Stop,” shouted the Prince. “I can’t,” answered the young man. “I must go on unti l I tell you what happened to each grain of the corn.” “But that will go on forever.” The Prince protested. “Exactly,” the young man replied, and he smiled as he turned towards the Prince’s beautiful young daughter.41.

The thing the king noticed first in the roof was______ .A. a loafB. a small holeC. a grain of cornD. a locustPassage 2Packaging is an important form of advertising. A package can sometimes motivate someone to buy a product. For example, a small child might ask for a breakfast food that comes in a box with a picture of a TV character.

And，without knowing the details，they expect differences in customs．Customs are the behaviors that are generally expected in specific situations．American men，for example，shake hands with each other when first introduced while Japanese men bow．36．When introduced to the Japanese businessman，the American businessman put Out his right hand because____．A．he felt a little bit nervousB．he wanted to express his discomfortC．he felt a little offended by the Japanese manD．he wanted to shake hands with the Japanese man37．The two businessmen behaved differently because____．A．they followed their own greeting customsB．they were not used to the strange atmosphereC．they couldn’t speak each other’ S languageD．they had never met each other before38．Paragraph 4 tells us that when visiting a foreign country,____.A．it is very uncommon for one to encounter embarrassing situationsB．it is hard for one to adapt to the material aspects of life thereC．people often expect to meet differences in customsD．people expect the same kind of food and weather39．This passage is mainly about____．A．cultural invasion B．the understanding of customsC．business talks D．differences in handshakesPassage TwoMr.．Leonard，the principal of the Bedford Academy High School in Bedford-Stuyvesant，Brooklyn，is a man of many solutions，many of them creative，many of them，apparently, also effective．In New York City, only about 50 percent of students manage to graduate in four years．At Bedford Academy 63 percent of the students qualify for free lunch，a majority of which are being raised by a single mother and another significant number are being raised by someone other than a parent．Yet close to 95 percent of students graduate，and actually every one of those goes on to college．Mr.．Leonard does not achieve those results by admitting only high-testing students into his school．Of the students arriving with lower test scores，Mr.．Leonard says that he is not looking for the students with the highest grades，or even the best behavior．He’ S looking for the ones who understand his basic mission of discipline and respect，and are willing to devote themselves to his regular training course．The Bedford Academy High School is famous for its autonomy．For Mr.．Leonard，autonomy means insisting that all entering students spend their Saturday mornings in preparatory classes the summer before they enroll．Autonomy also means an automatic weeklong suspension for any student who “disrespects a f emale，”said Mr.．Leonard．It means requiring struggling students，in the weeks before the Regents exams，to attend studying sessions on Saturday from 9 a．m．until 9 p．m．It means the most senior, experienced teachers，including Mr.．Leonard，teach not the school’s academic jewels，but the most struggling students．And autonomy also means the school’ S teachers administer almost no homework．Instead they emphasize after-school tutoring where the teachers Can keep a better eye on whether the student isactually grasping the material．40．In Mr.．Leonard’s school，most other students who don’t have to pay for lunch____．A．are adopted children B．are parentlessC．are homeless D．have a single parent41．What can be a good indication of the Bedford S chool’ s success?A．63 percent of its students go on to college.B．A high percentage of students enjoy free lunch.C．All the graduates from the school go on to college.D．The number of its graduates is twice that of New York High School42．What does Mr.．Leonard expect from those low-testing students?A．The highest scores．B．The best behavior.C．Respectfulness and discipline．D．Willingness to learn by themselves.43．The school insists that students should____．A．leave the school if they fail to respect a womanB．attend the preparatory classes in the summer before enrollingC．do their homework to review what they have learnedD．come to the school on SundaysPassage ThreePeople joke that no one in Los Angeles reads；everyone watches TV, rents videos，or goes to the movies．The most popular reading material is comic books，movie magazines，and TV guide s．City libraries have only 10 percent of the traffic that car washes have．But how do you explain this? An annual book festival in west Los Angeles is flourishing year after year．People wait half an hour for a parking space to become available．This outdoor festival，sponsored by a newspaper，occurs every April for one weekend. This year’ s attendance was estimated at 70，000 on Saturday and 75，000 on Sunday．The festival consisted of 280 exhibitors．There were about 90 talks given by authors，with an audience question-and-answer period following each talk．Autograph(亲笔签名)seekers sought out more than 150 authors. A food court sold all kinds of popular food and diverse foreign foods，from American hamburgers to Hawaiian shave ice drinks．Except for a $7 parking fee，the festival was free．Even so，some people avoided the food court prices by staying away and having their ownsandwiches and drinks.People came from all over California．One couple drove down from San Francisco．“This is our sixth year here now．We love it，”said the husband．“It’s just fantastic to be in the great outdoors，to be among so many books and authors，and to get some very good deals，too．”The idea for the festival occurred years ago，but nobody knew if it would succeed．Although book festivals were already popular in other US cities，would Los Angeles residents welcome one? “The citizens of the city are very unpredictable，”said one of the festival founders．44．The underlined sentence in the first paragraph implies that____．A．city libraries have a very limited number of readersB．only a small proportion of the readers go to libraries by carC．city libraries provide fewer places for Car washesD．city libraries have fewer parking places45．The outdoor book festival attracts____．A．autograph seekers and authors onlyB．people with different interestsC．people who love Los AngelesD．people who like cooking46．At the very beginning，people were____ about the idea for the book festival in Los Angeles.A．confident B．pessimisticC．uncertain D．indifferent47．The success of Los Angeles book festival shows that____．A．book reading is still popular in Los AngelesB．Los Angeles people prefer library to book festivalC．people attend the book festivals for fun not for readingD．libraries should have food courts to attract more readersPassage FourHave you ever been afraid to talk back when you were treated unfairly? Have you ever bought something just because the salesman talked you into it? Are you afraid to ask someone for a date?Many people are afraid to assert themselves(坚持己见)．Dr．Robert Alberti，author of StandUp, Speak Out，and Talk Back, thinks it’s because of their lack of confidence．“Our structure of organization tends to make people distrust themselves．”says Alberti．“There’s always a‘superior’around-a parent，a teacher，a boss- who ‘knows better’．These ‘superiors’ often gain when they keep breaking at your self-image．”But Alberti and other scientists are doing something to help people assert themselves．They offer “assertiveness training” courses-AT for short．In the AT course people learn that they have a right to be themselves．They learn to speak out and feel good about doing so．They learn to be aggressive without hurting people．In one way, learning to speak out is to overcome fear．A group taking an AT course will help the shy person to lose his fear．But AT uses an even stronger motive-the need to share．The shy person speaks out in the group because he wants to tell how he feels．Whether or not you speak up for yourself depends on your self-image．If someone you face is more “important”than you，you may feel less of a person．You start to doubt your own good sense．You go b y the other person’ s label．But，why should you? AT says you can get to feel good about yourself．And once you do，you can learn to speak out．48．People are reluctant to talk back because____．A．they have a poor self-imageB．they have not received AT coursesC．they have not grasped communication skillsD．they are not generous enough to share things49．According to Dr．Alberti，our organization is constructed to____．A．get people to trust their own solutions to problemsB．keep people as knowledgeable as their “superiors”C．train people’ s capacity to speak up for their rightsD．make things more favorable for “superiors”50．One of the objectives of AT courses is to____．A．train people to trust othersB．encourage people to share their thoughtsC．tell people of their right to be “superiors”D．help people overcome their fear of asserting themselves51．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A．Protect Yourself B．Try to Speak OutC．Share Your Opinion D．Face Your SuperiorPassage FiveA wind tunnel is used for testing planes or plane models．In a wind tunnel air is blown over a plane ora model placed in a test section．Wind tunnel test sections are different in size depending on airflow speed requirements．Some low-speed tunnels have test sections large enough for a complete small plane．In the very high speed tunnels used for space testing，however，the model may be as small as a pencil．There are two ways of feeding air to the test section．In the constant flow tunnel，airflow produced by electric fans is forced through the tunnel to the test section，then through another tunnel section back to the starting point for reuse．The other way involves storing high-pressure air in a box，sending it out by a controlling device to pass through the tunnel and test section into another box．This way is usually used for a very short period of high-speed airflow．Wind tunnels are usually used to test planes before they are flown．Problems in a plane carl be found when it meets the high-speed airflow in the tunnel．For example，if the wings are built so that they would weaken at high speeds，this fact can be discovered in the tunnel，thus saving many lives and millions of dollars．In a wind tunnel，scientists also find out how different planes will act at different speeds．They find out such things as how the air dives by the wing surfaces，how slowly a plane can fly before it starts to drop，and how fast can climb．52．Some wind tunnel sections are larger than others because____．A．they are used for large planes B．they can produce a stronger windC．they are built to conduct a high-speed test D．the air in them flows at a lower speed 53．The underlined words “this fact” in Paragraph 3 refer to the fact that____．A．it costs a lot to test a planeB．the wings are not good enoughC．some problems are found with a planeD．the wings meet the high-speed air flow in the tunnel54．As mentioned in the last paragraph，a wind tunnel can be used to find out____.A．how fast a plane can rise B．how smooth a plane’s surface isC．how a plane lands in a strong wind D．how a plane drops at a low height55．What can we learn from the passage?A．It is very expensive to build a wind tunnel．B．Wind tunnels are very essential in testing planes．C．Scientists still have a lot to learn about wind tunnels．D．There are new ways to feed air to the test section．V．Daily Conversation (15 points)Directions：Pick out appropriate expressions from the eight choices below and complete the following dialogues by blackening the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.A．I miss you，too B．It’ a niceC．Oh，come on D．for the worldE．Sounds as if F．in the worldG．To tell you the truth H．I can’ t waitJohn：Hi，Kim．I haven’t seen you for ages．How are you?Kim：I’m fine．thanks．I moved house recently, so I’ve been very busy．John：56____ you need a rest! Listen，I’m having a Halloween party on Saturday night．Would you like to come?Kim：It's very good of you to ask me．but I’m too busy．I still have a lot to do in the house．John：57 !Everybody needs a break now and then．Kim：Yes，you are right．58____，I’m geeing a bit fed up with it! When does your party start?John：Around 8：00’clock in the evening．Kim：Sounds great! 59____．John：OK! I'll see you on Saturday，then．Kim：I wouldn’t miss it 60____!VI．Writing (25 points)Directions：For this part，you are supposed to write an essay in English in about 100-120 words based on the following situation．Remember to write it clearly．61．你(Li Yuan)是某大学志愿者小组的组织者，请简要介绍该小组的情况，内容包括：(1)志愿者小组成立的时间、小组规模、小组成员的构成：(2)小组的主要活动(如：关心贫困学生和孤儿、帮助需要照顾的老人和家庭等)；(3)开展志愿者小组活动的意义，欢迎更多人加入。

Each passage is followed by some questions or incomplete statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C, and D. You should decide on the best choice and then mark the corresponding letter on the ANSWEAR SHEET.Passage OneEver since Stephanie’s 13th birthday we have been receiving comments from other adults expressing their sympathies because our daughter is now a teenager. We’ve heard everything from, “ Sure she’s a good kid, but just wait, now that she’s a teenager ...” to the ever inspiring, “Well, all kids are rotten when they are teenagers, just try to go through it the best way you can.” What’s more upsetting is that many of these insensitive adults feel the need to share their negative predictions well within the hearing of both our daughters.I know that teenagers can be moody and difficult at times, but I’m 32 and I can also be difficult and moody. We worry about the future and want today’s kids to know that we care专业英语试卷第 3 页（共10页）for them and that there are opportunities that await them. However, at the very point they set out on that journey toward adulthood we stand there watching them disapprovingly, just waiting for them to make a mistake, “just like we knew they would.” We tell them to respect themselves and to say no to drugs, yet we fail to set a positive example by treating them with kindness and consideration, demonstrating our respect for them.I have, at times, been guilty of this behavior but am now realizing that the more I see each person as a person, the more I am pleasantly surprised in some way or another. For example, a few weeks ago my husband and I were having dinner at our favorite restaurant and two teenage boys came in and sat down right beside us. I must admit that my first thought was, “Perfect, there goes our quiet, peaceful dinner.” I was so wrong! These young men were well behaved, quiet, and left a nice tip for the waitress. Once I looked beyond the jeans so loose they were practically falling off and the multi-colored hair, I saw what fine people these kids were.Many of the people who, perhaps unknowingly, treat teens with disrespect are unhappy about the fact that pop singers and sports stars are our children’s heroes. I feel that unless we give them something better to go after, we really shouldn’t complain.41. When their children reach their teens, parents usually expect ______.A. troubleB. sympathycongratulationsC.D. inspiring comments42. In the author’s opinion, the trouble with parents is that ______.A. they are too watchful of their teenage childrenB. they are too concerned about their children’s futureC. they fail to treat teenagers with sufficient kindness and respectD. they speak ill of their children within their hearing43. When two teenagers came into the restaurant and sat beside the author, her first thought was ______.A. her quiet dinner with her husband would be ruinedB. something interesting was going to happen over dinnerC. they were wrong to have chosen this restaurant for dinnerD. she and her husband were going to have a pleasant surprise44. What does the author think of the two teenage boys?A. They are typical of teenagers who wear ill-fitting clothes and dye their hair.B. They may become nice people if they are willing to change their lifestyle.C. They are fine young men despite their loose jeans and multi-colored hair.D. They will respect you if you respect them.45. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?A. There is nothing wrong with teenagers admiring pop singers and sport stars.B. Pop singers and sport stars should not be heroes of our children.C. If our children admire pop singers and sports stars, it is the parents who are to blame.D. Parents should set a good example for their children to follow.专业英语试卷第4页（共10页）Passage TwoMore and more, the operations of our businesses, governments, and financialinstitutions are controlled by information that exists only inside computer memories. Anyoneclever enough to modify this information for his own purposes can reap big reward. Evenworse, a number of people who have done this and been caught at it have managed to getaway without punishment.It’s easy for computer crimes to go undetected if no one checks up on what thecomputer is doing. But even if the crime is detected, the criminal may walk away not onlyunpunished but with a glowing recommendation from his former employers.Of course, we have no statistics on crimes that go undetected. But it’s disturbing to notehow many of the crimes we do know about were detected by accident, not by systematicinspections or other security procedures. The computer criminals who have been caught mayhave been the victims of uncommonly bad luck.Unlike other lawbreakers, who must leave the country, commit suicide, or go to jail,computer criminals sometimes escape punishment, demanding not only that they not becharged but that they be given good recommendations and perhaps other benefits. All toooften, their demands have been met.Why? Because company executives are afraid of the bad publicity that would result ifthe public found out that their computer had been misused. They hesitate at the thought of acriminal boasting in open court of how he juggled (篡改) the most confidential (保密) records right under the noses of the company’s executives, accountants, and security staff.And so another computer criminal departs with just the recommendations he needs tocontinue his crimes elsewhere.46. It can be concluded from the passage that ______.A. it is still impossible to detect computer crimes todayB. people commit computer crimes at the request of their companyC. computer criminals escape punishment because they can’t be detectedD. computer crimes are the most serious problem in the operation of financial institutions47.

Every person perceives himself to have a sort of invisible shield surroundinghis physical body. When someone comes too close, he feels uncomfortable. When he bumpsonto someone, he feels obligated to apologize. But the size of a person’s “comfort zone”depends on his cultural ethnic origin. For example, in casual conversation, many Americansstand about four feet apart. In other words, they like to keep each other “at arm’s length”,people in Latin or Arab cultures, in contrast, stand very close to each other, and touch eachother often. If someone from one of those cultures stands too close to an American while inconversation, the American may feel uncomfortable and back away.When Americans are talking, they expect others to respond to what they are saying. ToAmericans, polite conversationalists empathize by displaying expressions of excitement or disgust, shock or sadness. People with a “poker face”, whose emotions are hidden by adeadpan expression, are looked upon with suspicion. Americans also indicate theirattentiveness in a conversation by raising their eyebrows, nodding, smiling politely andmaintaining good eye contact. Whereas some cultures view direct eye contact as impolite orthreatening, Americans see it as a sign of genuineness and honesty. If a person doesn’t lookyou in the eye, American might say, you should question his motives—or assume that hedoesn’t like you. Yet with all the concern for eye contact, Americans still considerstaring—especially at strangers—to be rude.51. What the author discussed in the previous section is most probably about______.A. classification of nonverbal communicationB. the reasons why people should think about spaceC. the relationship between communication and spaceD. some other cultural aspects of nonverbal communication52. How far people keep to each other while talking is closely associated with their______.A. cultural originB. habitsC. customD. nationality53.

In a conversation between friends, Americans regard it as sincere and truthful to______.A. maintain direct eye contactB. hide emotions with a deadpan expressionC. display excitement or disgust, shock or sadnessD. raise their eyebrows, nod and smile politelyPassage FourAfter the violent earthquake that shook Los Angeles in 1994, earthquake scientists hadgood news to report; the damage and death toll (死亡人数) could have been much worse.More than 60 people died in this earthquake. By comparison, an earthquake of similarintensity that shook America in 1988 claimed 25, 000 victims. Injuries and deaths wererelatively less in Los Angeles because the quake occurred at 4:31 a.m. on a holiday, whentraffic was light on the city’s highways. In addition, changes made to the construction codesin Los Angeles during the last 20 years have strengthened the city’s buildings and highways,making them more resistant to quakes.Despite the good news, civil engineers aren’t resting on their successes. Pinned to theirdrawing boards are blueprints (蓝图的) for improved quake-resistant buildings. The newdesigns should offer even greater security to cities where earthquakes often take place. In thepast, making structures quake-resistant meant firm yet flexible materials, such as steel and wood, which bend without breaking. Later, people tried to lift a building off its foundation,and insert rubber and steel between the building and its foundation to reduce the impact ofground vibrations. The most recent designs give buildings brains as well as concrete andsteel supports, called smart buildings, the structures respond like living organisms to anearthquake’s vibrations. When the ground shakes and the building tips forward, the computerwould force the building to shift in the opposite direction. The new smart structures could bevery expensive to build. However, they would save many lives and would be less likely to bedamaged during earthquakes.56. One reason why the loss of lives in the Los Angeles earthquake was comparatively lowis that______.A. new computers had been installed in the buildingsB. it occurred in the residential areas rather than on the highwaysC. large numbers of Los Angeles residents had gone for a holidayD. improvements had been made in the construction of buildings and highways57. The function of the computer mentioned in the passage is to ______.A. counter-balance an earthquake’s action on the buildingB. predict the coming of an earthquake with accuracyC. help strengthen the foundation of the buildingD. measure the impact of an earthquake’s vibrations58. The smart buildings discussed in the passage ______.专业英语试卷第 7 页（共10页）A. would cause serious financial problemsB. would be worthwhile though costlyC. would increase the complexity of architectural designD. can reduce the ground vibrations caused by earthquakes59. It can be inferred from the passage that in minimizing the damage caused by earthquakesattention should be focused on ______.A. the increasing use of rubber and steel in capital constructionB. the development of flexible building materialsC. the reduction of the impact of ground vibrationsD. early forecasts of earthquakes60. The author’s main purpose in writing the passage is to______.A. compare the consequences of the earthquakes that occurred in the U. S.B. encourage civil engineers to make more extensive use of computersC. outline the history of the development of quake-resistant building materialsD. report new developments in constructing quake-resistant buildingPart III Cloze (20 points)Directions: There are 20 blanks in the following passage.

Each passage is followed by somequestions or incomplete statements. For each of them there are 4 choices markedA, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice, and mark thecorresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneA wealthy Persian Prince loved good stories. The older he grew，the fonder he became of them. But he always regretted they had to have an end. So he decided to give half his wealth and his beautiful daughter to the man who could tell him a story without an end. Anybody who failed would be sent to prison for life. The risk was so great that nobody came to the palace to tell the Prince a story for a whole year. Then one day a tall, handsome young man came and said he wanted to tell a story that would go on forever. The prince agreed but warned him what would happen if he failed. “The risk is worth the head of your fair daughter, ”the young man replied poetically（得体地）. He then began this well-known story:“Once upon a time there was a certain King who feared famine. So he ordered his men to build an enormous storehouse, which he filled with corn. Then, when it was up, made water-proof and made fire-proof, the King felt happy. But one day he noticed a small hole in the roof and as he looked at it, a locust came out with a grain of corn. A minute later, another locust came out with another grain of corn. Then a third locust with another grain of corn. Then a fourth locust, flying at great speed, pushed through the hole and came out with two grains of corn. Then a fifth locust came and …”“Stop”shouted the Prince. “I can’t,”answered the young man. “I must go on until I tell you what happened to each grain of the corn.”“But that will go on for ever.”The Prince protested. “Exactly”the young man replied, and he smiled as he turned towards the Prince’s beautiful young daughter.41. The Prince always felt regretted about story because _________.A. he had too much wealthB. there was terrible famineC. all stories have endsD. there was no story-teller42. The young man risked to tell an endless story to the Prince for _________.A. a great sumC. showing his bravery B. the prince’s beautiful daughterD. Both A and C43. The young man would be sent to prison _________ if he failed to tell a story without an end.A. forever C. for a whileB. for some time D. for a year44.In order to prevent famine, the King asked to build _________.A. a huge storehouse C. a beautiful palaceB. a large farmD. a waterproof kitchen45. The thing the king noticed first in the roof was _________.A. a loafC. a grain of cornB. a small holeD. a locust Passage TwoPackaging is an important form of advertising. A package can sometimes motivate someone to buy a product. For example, a small child might ask for a breakfast food that comes in a box with a picture of a TV character. The child is more interested in the picture than in the breakfast food. Pictures for children to color or cut out, games printed on a package, or small gifts inside a box also motivate many children to buy products or to ask their parents for them.Some packages suggest that a buyer will get something for nothing. Food products sold in reusable containers are examples of this. Although a similar product in a plain container might cost less, people often prefer to buy the product in a reusable glass or dish, because they believe the container is free. However, the cost of the container is added to the cost of the product.The size of a package also motivates a buyer. Maybe the package has “Economy Size”printed on it. This suggests that the large size has the most product for the least money. But that is not always true. To find out, a buyer has to know how the product is sold and the price of the basic unit.The information on the package should provide some answers. But the important thing for any buyer to remember is that a package is often an advertisement. The words and pictures do not tell the whole story. Only the product inside can do that.46. Which of the following statements could best summarize the main idea of thepassage?A. Children are interested in some packages of products.B. Package is one of the important ways of advertising.C. People prefer to buy the products in plain containers.D. The size of a package usually motivates a buyer.47. The phrase “a buyer will get something for nothing”( Line 1, Para 2 ) probablymeans _________.A. a buyer will get something free of chargeB. a buyer will get something uselessC. a buyer will get something usefulD. nothing is worth buying48. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A. Sometimes people are easily motivated by packages.B. Small children sometimes are more interested in games printed on a packagethan the product itself.C. A product in a reusable container must be cheaper than a similar product in aplain container.D. “Economy Size” doesn t always suggest that people can buy the most productfor the least money.49. What does the word “them ”( Line 6, Para. 1 ) refer to? _________.A. Small giftsB. PicturesC. GamesD. Products50. What does the author imply in the last paragraph?A. Package is just an advertisement.B. Buyers shouldn’t believe the information on the package too much.C. The package has nothing to do at all with the product.D. Buyers can always find answers in the information on the package.Passage ThreeFor any Englishman, there can never be any discussion as to who is the world’s greatest poet and greatest dramatist. Only one name can possibly suggest itself to him: that of William Shakespeare. Every Englishman has some knowledge, however slight, of the work our greatest writer. All of us use words, phrases and quotations from Shakespeare’s writings that have become part of the common property of English-speaking people. Most of the time we are probably unaware of the source of the words we use, rather like the old lady who was taken to see a performance of HAMLET and complained that “it was full of well-known proverbs and quotations.”Shakespeare, more perhaps than any other writer, made full use of the great resources of the English language. Most of us use about five thousand words in our normal employment of English; Shakespeare in his works used about twenty-five thousand. There is probably no better way for a foreigner to appreciate the richness and variety of the English language than by studying the various ways in which Shakespeare used it. Such a study is well worth the effort (it is not, of course, recommended to beginners) even though some aspects of English usage, and the meaning of many words, have changed since Shakespeare’s day.51. English people_________.A. have never discussed who is the world’s greatest poet and greatest dramatistB. never discuss about the world’s greatest poets or dramatistsC. are sure who is the world’s greatest poet and greatest dramatistD. do not care who is the world’s greatest poet and greatest dramatist52. Every Englishman knows_________.A. more or less about ShakespeareB. Shakespeare, but only slightlyC. all the Shakespeare’s writingsD. only the name of greatest English writer53. Which of the following is TRUE?A. We use all the words, phrases and quotations from Shakespeare’s writings.B. Shakespeare’s writings have become the property of those who are learning tospeak English.C. It is likely to be true that people often do not know the origin of the words theyuse.D. All the words people use are taken from Shakespeare’s writings.54. “HAMLET”is _________.A. a play written by ShakespeareB. a play recommended by ShakespeareC. a play appreciated by ShakespeareD. a play people have been complaining about55. It is worthwhile to study the various ways in which Shakespeare used Englishbecause _________.A. English words have changed a lot since Shakespeare’s timeB. by doing so one can be fully aware of the richness of English languageC. English words are now being used in the same way as in Shakespeare’s daysD. English words are now the same in various ways as in Shakespeare’daysPassage FourMost cities and/or states in the U. S. collect a sales tax on almost everything you buy. You must ask when you move into a new community how much the local sales tax is, and what items are and are not taxable. Both taxable items and the amount of tax vary considerably from place, from one of two percent in some places up to eight or ten in others. The NewYork City sales tax, for examples, is currently 8%, so if you buy a pair of $ 40 shoes you will actually have to pay $ 43.20. This makes paying and getting correct change much more difficult (not to mention making everything more expensive).Another thing that makes money changes more complicated is tipping. The Chinese people have happily put an end to tipping, but Westerners are still plagued(遭受折磨) with this indignity. Waiters and waitresses, cab drivers, hotel bellboys, barbers and hairdressers and all sorts of other people must be tipped. Their employers give them low wages because it is expected that you, the customer, will make up the difference. If you don't, the service person can't earn a living. Tipping also varies from place to place, generally in the area of 15% of your bill (before taxes), but again you should ask local residents whom to tip and how much.There is another kind of tipping as well. You are generally expected to give something (either cash or a bottle of whisky) to the mailman at Christmas time. You should discuss this also with neighbors and friends.56. The main idea of this passage is _________.A. shopping and tipping C. sales taxes and tippingB. sales and shopping D. sales taxes and people57. According to the passage, if you buy a pair of $ 50 shoes in the New York City, youpay extra _________as sales tax.A.$4.5B. $4C. $5D. $5.558. Usually, cab drivers _________.A. get high wages from the employerB. get great benefits from the employerC. get low wages from the employerD. get prize from the employer59. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?A. The Chinese people have to pay tips in western countries.B. The westerners don't have to pay high tips in their own country.C. Barbers, hotel bellboys and all sorts of other people can earn a living if they arenot tipped.D. Tipping varies from place to place, generally in the area of 20% of your bill.60. Usually, taxable items and the amount of tax_________.A. have no difference from place to place in the U. S.B. are over 15% in the U. S.C. have been put an end in the U. S.D. vary from place to place in the U. S.Part ⅢCloze (20 points)Directions: There are 20 blanks in the following passage. For each blank there are four choices marked A, B,C and D.
