For each of them . there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.Passage oneM ichael Phelps has already been considered by some as the greatest all-around competitor in the history of his sport. At the 2023 U.S. Trials, Phelps qualified for Athens in six individual events across every possible stroke. He finally earned five titles of Olympic champion. Should Phelps match Mark Spitz’s record in Athens or Beijing in 2023, he will earn a ＄1 million bonus from his sponsor. Michael Phelps was born to June 30, 1985. His father was a good athlete, and passed his ability on to his kids.Michael’s coach told Michaelc’s mother that her son was a raretelent.Long-limbed with big hands and feet, he took to instruction very well, loved to work hard and never seemed nervous is competition. By all accounts, his frame is perfect for a swimmer. His big hands and feet are like paddles in the water. The butterfly is his signature stroke, but he’s shown the ability to dominate in any event.In 1999,Michael broke a record in the 200-meter butterfly for the 20-year-old age group at th Junior Nationals.At 15, Michael became the youngest swimmer to compete Sydney Olympics for the U.S.in 68 years. In an astonishing performance, he medaled six times and set five world records. Michael won the 200-meter butterfly with a new world mark, and also turned in record times in the 100-meter butterfly and 200-meter individual medley (混合泳)—doing so on the same day, which was a first in swimming history.Outside of his swimming career,Michael was a normal teenager.He didn’t like getting out of the bed in the morning; but refused to slow down once his day began.Michael has his sights set on more than Olympic glory.He wants to transform his sport the way other great athletes like Michael Jordan and Tiger Woods have.16.Which of the following is the biggest achievement of Michael Phelps so far?A. An all-around competitor in the history of swimming.B. Breaking of a record in the 200-meter butterfly.C. Six individual events across every possible stroke.D. Five titles of Olympic champion.17. From Paragraph 1 it can be inferred that the passage waswritten_______.A. right in 2023B. at a time between 2023 and 2023C. just before Athens 2023D. immediately after Athens 202318. Michael Phelps turned to be the youngest American swimmer_______.A. in 1999, when he broke a record in the 200-meter butterflyB. in 2023,when he attended Athens 2023C. in 2023, when he attended Sydney OlympicsD. in an astonishing performance at home in the U.S.19. ________hating to get out of his bed in the morning, Michael Phelpswouldn’t slow down once his day began.A. AsB. ThoughC. OnceD. Despite of20. The last sentence of the passage tells us that Michael Phelps is soambitious as to ___________.A. win many more gold medals for the U.S.B. remake history of his sport like M.Jordan and T.WoodsC. become the greatest world record breaker in sport historyD. be by far the greatest sportsman with Olympic gloryPassage TwoMost personnel managers agree that job interviews are one of the least objective recruiment methods.But the advantages of testing are not going to change the attraction of the interview to employers . The appeal of the interview has everything to do with the human factor.Most people believe that they are a reasonable judge of character and trust their instinctive feeling. We might use some kind of test to aid theselection process, but we usually pick a candidate who interviews well, has good qualifications and impressive work record.But suppose the candidate lies or is less than completely honest. “This can be a serious problem for employers”, explains Alan Conrad, Chief Executive at Optimus Recruiment. “The most difficult liars to find are those who tell half-truths rather than complete lies.”Research shows that up to 75 percent of resumes are inaccurate on purpose. The most common practice is omission.Interviewer should therefore concentrate on areas of uncertainy such as gaps between periods of employment and job descriptions that seem strange. “Focusing on these areas will force candidates to tell the truth or become increasingly dishonest. This is usually when people signal their anxiety by their body language. Sweat on the upper lip, false smiles and nervous hand movements all indicate discomfort.”Conrad does not suggest an aggressive policy-style interview technique , but insists that close inspection of a resume is absolutely essential. Only by asking the right questions can you confirm the suitability of the candidate or put pressure on those who are being less than completely honest.21. The best title of this passage can be ___________.A. How to Catch Out the Dishonest CandidateB. How to Find a Job by TricksC. Disadvantages of Job InterviewsD. Advantages of Job Interviews22. The liars hard to recognize are those who tell___________.A. complete truthsB. complete liesC. partial truthsD. mainly truths23. How were the job applicants able to lie without being detected?A. By leaving out some necessary informationB. By providing more information than needed.C. By using their body language.D. By telling some unbelievable lies.24. In order to pick up a qualified and an honest candidate, Conradsuggests that we _____.A. examine the resumes carefullyB. inspect the candidates aggressivelyC. correct the resumes intentionallyD. compare one’s resume with others’25. What is the author’s attitude towards job interviews?A. Most objectiveB. Too subjective.C. SuspiciousD. Credulous.Passage ThreeOur world is wonderful with birds that are absolutely amazing and unbelievable.One kind of such birds is the coot—a clumsy bird so unloved that its name implies something of an old fool.”The bird has a remarkableability to recognize amd count its eggs,” says behavioral ec ologist Bruce Lyon of the University of California at Santa Cruz. Coots need to be tricky because of the nunsual way the animals. Compete: One coot will put its eggs secretly into another’s nest to trick the host into raising the invader’s eggs. But nest owners use their wits to fight back, Lyon finds.Over four summers, Lyon monitored 400 coot nests near Williams Lake in central British Columbia, tagging the eggs with a marker. Of these , 160 coot nests received eggs from unrelated coots. The hosts generally were not fooled, however,. About half the time, coot parents rejected thestrange eggs completely, usually by burying them deep in the nest.“Foreign eggs were not disappearing by chance ---and that can only mean the birds were recognizing them, ”Lyon says. Apparently , the coots were alerted by the unfamiliar colors and patterns on the foreign eggs. In other cases, the parents pushed the foreign eggs to an unfavorable position at the border area of the nest, where there is less heat for hatching.Even if a mother coot didn’t remove the foreign eggs from her nest, she continued to lay a normal hatch number of her own eggs, despite theapparent extra foreign eggs. Lyon thinks that means the coots somehow kept a count of both their own eggs an d the suspicious ones. “That coots can distinguish their own eggs from the foreign ones is a rare but very convincing example of counting wild animal world,” the ecologistconcluded.26. The meaning of the bird’s name “coot”probably is __________.A. wonderful and amazingB. unusual and remarkableC. secret and unbelievableD. old and silly27. In the passage, “foreign eggs” refers to _________.A. the eggs of the nest ownersB. the eggs of the invadersC.the eggs from foreign countriesD. the eggs unable to be hatched28. Which of the following is the particular way coots often compete?A. To steal some eggs from other nests.B. To put their own eggs into others’ nests.C. To hatch other coots’ eggs.D. To protect their own eggs.29. Which would the nest owners do with the foreign eggs according to thepassage?Ⅰ. Burying them deep in the nests.Ⅱ. Pushing them aside to an unfavorable area.Ⅲ. Hatching them as their own.A. Ⅰ.onlyB. Ⅱ.onlyC. Ⅰ.land Ⅱ.D. Ⅰ.,Ⅱ.and Ⅲ.30. Which of the following is the particular ability the ecologist believes thatthe coot has?A. To trick other coots.B. To fight back the tricks.C. To be alert to the foreign eggs.D. To recognize and count its owneggs.Passage FourNational Aviation and Space Administration (NASA) and its partners in the Inter-national Space Station have agreed in principle to let a 28-year-old South African become the second paying tourist on the orbitingoutpost, the U.S. space agency said on Tuesday.Internet magnate Mark Shuttleworth signed a contract on Dec.4 with the Russian Aviation and Space Agency(RASA) to fly aboard a Soyuz space taxi to the station in April 2023, almost exactly a year after lionaire Dennis Tito became the first to experience space as a paying guest.NASA spokeswoman Kristen Larson said by telephone:”We’ve agreed in principle to the flight of Mr. Shuttleworth. However, there are some final details that need to be taken of .”Larson would not say what detailsneeded resolving , but said the station’s international partners---including the space agencies of Russia, Europe, Japan and Canada---had drafted a set of requirements for space travelers covering “physical ability,psychological ability, language ability” and “length and appropriateness of training.”Outgoing commander Frank Culbertson of the space station said the new crew replacing his was going to be extremely busy. “The station is forworkers, and it puts an additional burden on the crew to have people up here that are not doing science or conducting experiments that areproductive. This is a workplace, a laboratory, a research facili ty,” he said. Space Adventures chief Eric Anderson said he could not disclose what Shuttleworth was paying for the trip, but added that a Russian official had been quoted as saying the price was no worse than Tito’s fare, which was widely reported to be ＄20 million.31.

Which of the following is NOT included in the requirements for spacetravelers?A. Sufficient experience in conducting laboratory work.B. Enough long and proper training for flight.C.

Because the space station is n’t big enough for the paying tourists.B. Because as a place for doing research, the staton should be highlyefficient.C. Because a paying tourist may be ignorant of the space research work.D. Because the paying tourists have to pay too much to gain spaceexperience.34. “An outgoing commander”can probably be one who __________.A. is extremely capableB. is going to be out of dutyC. is a supervisor over the space station workD. has his own crew members35.

For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose thebest one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.Passage OneHow much do you know about nutrition? If your knowledge is similar to that of food shoppers who answered three surveys for the U. S. Food and Drug Administration, then you probably sharesome wide-spread misinformation about nutrition. Check your answers to the following statements.Is it true or false?Statement 1: Fresh vegetables cooked at home are always more nutritious than canned or frozen vegetables. False. The nutritional difference depends more on how vegetables are handled orprepared than in whether they are bought fresh or packaged. Overcooking, for example, destroysmany nutrients. Vegetables cooked in too much water can lose a significant amount of vitamins. Statement 2: When dieting, avoid starchy( 淀粉类 ) foods, such as bread or potatoes. False. If youcut out starchy foods, such as peas, potatoes, bread, and rice, you cut out very good sources ofseveral B vitamins, Vitamin C, and other nutrients. Moreover, ounce for ounce, bread and potatoeshave fewer calories than sirloin steak and roast beef.Statement 3: Taking extra vitamins beyond the recommended daily allowances won’ givet youmore energy. True. It’ s widely believed that extra vitamins provide more yenerg.But taking morethan the body needs doesn't make it function better, just as overfilling your gas tank doesnyour car run faster.If you answered these questions correctly, you can for the time being consider yourself wellinformed about food and nutrition by today’ s standards. But remember that nutrition is a complex and growing science and that today ’beliefs may be changed as new information becomes available.16.The first paragraph implies that many people __________.A. are well informed about nutritionB. don ’ t care about nutritionC. have much knowledge of nutritionD. have incorrect ideas about nutrition17.According to paragraph 2, which is NOT true about nutrition?A.

Misleading Nutrition ConceptsPassage TwoMost women in Ghana--the educated and illiterate, the urban and rural, the young and old--workto earn an income in addition to maintaining their roles as housewives and mothers. Their reputation for economic independence, self-reliance, and hard work is well known and well deserved.Most of Ghana ’ s working women are farmers and traders. Only one woman in five, or even fewer, can be classified as simply housewives. Even these women often earn money by sewing or by baking and cooking things to sell. They also maintain vegetable gardens and chicken farms. Indeed, the woman who depends entirely upon her husband for support is looked upon with disfavor. Traditionally the tasks of motherhood have been shared. Mothers and sisters, grandmothers and nieces all helped to raise the children and to carry out daily tasks. As the family grew, older brothers and sisters also helped to care for the younger ones and helped in the home. Now with more children going to school, with more people moving away from their traditional homes, not only must the mother continue her income-producing activities, but she must take on all the heavy, time-consuming housework.Ghana today is looking for new ways to meet the needs of women and their families, such as providing more day care centers, so women can continue to play their multiple roles in the homeand in the economy.21.What is the role of most women in Ghana?A. Handling various housework at home.B. Taking care of children indoors.C.Farming and trading out of house.D.

Each of the passages is followed by 5 questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose one to complete the dialogue and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.Passage OneTrees are useful to man in three important was: they provide him with wood and other products; they give himUnfortunately, in many parts of the world, man has not realized that the third of these services is the most important. In his eagerness to make money from trees, he has cut them down in large number, only to find that without them he has lost the best friends he had. And besides, he is usually too careless to plant and look after new trees. So the forests slowly disappear.This does not only mean that man will have fewer trees. The results are even more serious: for where there are trees, their roots break up soil—allowing the rain to sink in –and also bind the soil, thus preventing it from being washed away easily, but where there are no trees, the rain falls on hard ground and flows away, causing floods and carrying away the rich top-soil. When all the top-soil is gone, nothing remains but worthless desert.Two thousand years ago a rich and powerful country cut down its trees to build warships, with which to gain itself an empire. It sep up the empire but, without its trees, its soil became poor and it grew weak. When the empire fell to pieces, the home country found itself faced with floods and starvation.16.What is the most important service of trees to man according to the passage?A.They help him make money.B.They help him prevent droughts and floods.C.They give him wood and other products.D.They give him shade.17.Why do forests in many parts of the world slowly disappear?A.New trees are not looked after properly.B.Man has not paid enough attention to planting trees.C.Many trees have been cut down by man.D.All of the above.18.Why did the country mentioned in the passage suffer from floods and starvation?A.Because an empire was set up.B.Because it lost all its trees.C.Because the empire fell to pieces.D.Because too much had been spent on wars.19.Why does land become desert after all trees are cut down?A.Because nothing remains on land except floods.B.Because there are no longer trees to keep the rain and protect the top-soil.C.Because too much rain sinks in and washes away the top-soil.D.Because roots of the trees break up the soil.20.What does the author tell us in this passage?A.How trees help prevent droughts and floods.B.The relationship between trees and man.C.How an empire fell to pieces in ancient times.D. A story of trees.After a long period of studies, scientists are uncovering surprising new findings about dolphins. They believe that dolphins do “talk” to each other, whistling “names” among themselves and others in their group. They help one another when in trouble. Like bats, they use sound waves to “see”. Because of these and many other findings, many scientists now place dolphins among the cleverest animals on earth.Dolphins love to mimic. If we swim on our backs, they do too. If we dive, they follow. Once a trainer blew a puff of cigarette smoke against the window of an observation tank, a young dolphin suddenly swam to its mother, nursed a moment, and spit out a cloud of water. It is even more surprising that dolphins are able to understand sign language. One of Herman’s dolphins has mastered more than 50 sign words. For example, it understands the difference between “bring the surfboard to the person” and “bring the person to the surfboard.”Scientists are learning how dolphins “speak”to each other. “Each dolphin,”says Peter Gyack, “has its own ‘signature’ whistle.” Dolphin can also mimic the signature of others.Dolphins help one another. When birth-giving takes place, females gather to keep off sharks. Later, while the mother looks for food, they take care of the young dolphin, swimming in circle.Dolphins reach out to us in astonishing ways. What would the world be like without them?21. To the best of our knowledge, dolphins are ________.A. surprising fishB. interesting animalsC. intelligent animalsD. man’s friends22. In the second paragraph, “nursed” means __________.A. brought the mother something to eatB. sucked milk from the mother dolphinC. asked to be taken care ofD. gave some milk to her23. What was the young dolphin doing when it suddenly swam to its mother? It was ________.A. having a little funB. diving into the deep seaC. playing “smoking”D. copying “smoking”24. Which of the following do you think is more reasonable?A. We are still in the early stage of learning about these animals.B. We have little difficulty in understanding dolphins.C. Man will be able to talk freely to dolphins in the near future.D. Sign language is the only way to make dolphins understand us.25. What’s the purpose of female dolphins’ swimming in circle?A. The young dolphin needs friends to play with.B. The young dolphin can play safely inside.C. The mother will help them to learn swimming in a circle.D. The mother will be free to meet the father.X-rays were first discovered by a German scientist, Wilhelm Konrad Rontgen, in 1895, almost by accident. He and several other scientists were experimenting with passing electric currents through certain gases in a special glass tube from which the air had been removed. One day Rontgen noticed that, even when the tube was covered with black paper, some strange kind of radiation was coming through and making a screen nearby glow. Roentgen could not see anything coming out of the tube, but then he discovered that if he put the screen in the next room on the other side of a closed door, the rays still seemed to affect it. The glowing screen showed that the rays could pass not only through black paper but also through wood.The next thing he found out was that if he put his hand between the rays and a photographic plate. In fact, the rays could pass as easily through fleshy part of his hand as through the black paper, but hardly at all through the bone. So Rontgen made the first X- ray picture of a hand, showing just how the bones in the hand fit together.26.What puzzled Rontgen one day during his experiment was ________.A.some passing electric currentsB.some radiation coming through the covered tubeC.the black –paper-covered tubeD.the screen nearby27.The screen didn’t stop glowing even when_______.A.it was moved to the next roomB.it was moved to the other side of the roomC.the door was closedD.the black paper was removed from the tube28.Rontgen put his hand between the rays and a photographic plate in order to _______.A.stop the radiationB.make an X-ray photo of itC.find out more about the raysD.see through the bones of his hand29.The rays proved to be incapable of passing through____.A. woodB. fleshC. boneD. black paper30. From the passage, we know X-rays are _________.A. invisibleB. changeableC. whiteD. brightPassage FourThe world is not only hungry, but it is also thirsty for water. This may seem strange to you, since nearly 70 percent of the earth’s surface is covered with water. But about 97 percent of this huge amount is sea water, or salt water. Man can only drink and use the other 3 percent-the fresh water from rivers, lakes, underground, and other sources. And we cannot even use all of that, because some of it is in the form of icebergs and glacier(冰川). EvenHowever, as things stand today, this small amount of fresh water is still enough for us. But our need for water is increasing rapidly-almost day by day. Only if we take steps to deal with this problem now can we avoid a severe worldwide water shortage later on.We all have to learn how to stop wasting our valuable water. One of the first steps is to develop ways of reusing it.Today in most large cities, water is used only once and then sent out into a sewer system (下水道). From there it returns to the sea or runs into underground storage tanks. But it is possible to pipe used water to a purifying (净化) plant. There it can be treated with chemicals so that it can be used again, just as if it were fresh from a spring.But even if every large city purified and reused its water, we still would not have enough. All we’d have to do make use of the vast reserves of sea water in the world is to remove the salt.If we take these steps we’ll be in no danger of drying up.31. The world is thirsty for water because we can only use ________ percent of the water covering the surface of theearth.A. 3B. more than 3C. less than 3D. 9732. Which of the following statements is not true?A. As things remain unchanging, this small amount of fresh water is still enough for us.B. Our need for water is becoming larger and larger.C. There will be no water shortage in the future.D. We should take steps to deal with the water shortage problem.33. To reuse water, we should _________.A. treat it with chemicalsB. use it only onceC. send it out into a sewer systemD. make it flow into underground tanks34. In order to have enough water, we should also make use of ________.A. icebergs an glaciersB. sea waterC. rivers and lakesD. underground water35. In the passage, the writer tells us _________.A. to make enough waterB. to pay more attention to the water shortage problemC. to pipe used water to be a purifying plantD. to reuse the waterPart Ⅲ Vocabulary and Structure (20 points)Directions: There are 40 incomplete sentences in this part.

Each of the passages is followed by 5 questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C andD. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET.Passage OneKids often ask Scout Bassett, of Palm Desert, California, if she wishes she had two normal legs. Bassett, 18, answers, “No. I have never known anything different, and it wo uld seem weirdto me. Besides, if it weren’t for the missing leg, I wouldn’t have the opportunities I have”Scout has faced big challenges. When she was months old, she suffered from terrible burns. Her right leg was especially damaged, and doctors cut it off above the knee. When she was 14, she got a high-tech leg made for sports and put it to the test right away in a race for disabled athletes. “I remember being terrified because this was my first time,” she says. ”But my doctor said, ‘you have to start somewhere.’”Scout was waiting nervously for the race to start when athlete Sarah Reinertsen came up and said,”I’ve been doing this for a while. Let me give you some tips.” Reinertsen, who lost her leg when she was seven, is the first disabled woman to have finished the Ironman triathlon(铁人三项) in Hawaii. She works with an organization to help support people like Scout.Reinertsen’s encouragement changed the teenager’s life. She lost that first race, but gained the confidence that she needed to compete. If Sarah could do it, she could too. Training hard, she now runs competitively and also finds time to share her story with school groups.“Sometimes people look at someone like me or at Sarah and think they have nothing in common with us. I tell them that even if you aren’t physically challenged, everybody has challenges of some kind---maybe with family, or homework, or friends.” “No matter what it is, you can overcome that obstacle,” she says. “Everything you need is inside your heart. Take small steps. As time goes by, the steps will get bigger and you will reach your dream.”16．Why does Scout answer “No” when asked if she wants two normal legs?A. She’s scared of changing her current situation.B. She couldn’t have them even if she wanted to.C. She has never thought of it before.D. She’s satisfied with what she has achieved as a disabled.17. What does the doctor mean by saying “You have to start somewhere”(para.2)A. She has to do it sooner or later.B. She has to find the right place to to start.C. That will be a memorable first time.D. That is a perfect time to start.18. Scout’s childhood experience _______.A. were the cause of her shynessB. were a nightmare until she reached 14C. didn’t stop her from fulfilling herself.D. didn’t have much influence on her later life.19. Which of the following statements is true?A. Sarah shared her story with school students.B. Sarah started to compete at the age of seven.C. Scout has been inspired by Sarah’s success.D. Scout joined Sarah’s organization to help others.20. Through Scout’s story, the author wants to tell us _________.A. the disabled are mentally stronger than othersB. inner strength can help one overcome difficultiesC. good things will come no matter whatD. everybody has to challenge himselfPassage TwoIMPATIENCE has been around for a long time. There is nothing new about people losing their patience while stuck in traffic or waiting in line. But some experts believe that people are less patient today than in the past-and for reasons that might surprise you.Some analysts suggest that in recent years many people are less patient because of technology. They suggest that “digital technology, from cellphones to cameras to email to iP ads, is changing our lives. The instant results we get from this technology have in turn increased our desire for instant gratification in other aspects of our lives.”Psychologist Jennifer Hartstein makes some observations. She explains that “we have become an immediate satisfaction culture, and we expect things to move quickly, efficiently and in the way we want. When that doesn’t happen, we tend to become increasingly frustrated and unsatisfied.Some believe that e-mail is losing popularity and could soon become outdated. Why? Because many people who send messages do not have the patience to wait hours, or even minutes, for a response. Also, with e-mails, as with letter writing, introductory and concluding greetings are often expected. But many people consider such formalities（客套）to be boring and time-consuming. They prefer instant messaging。

You should address the topic and organize your thoughts clearly and logically.Essay Prompt: Discuss the impact of technology on communication in today's society.Sample Essay:In today's society, technology plays a crucial role in shaping how we communicate with one another. The advent of smartphones, social media, and instant messaging apps has revolutionized the way we interact and connect with people around the world. While technology has made communication faster and more convenient, it has also had some negative effects on interpersonal relationships and face-to-face interactions.One of the most significant impacts of technology on communication is the rise of social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. These platforms allow us to share our thoughts, experiences, and photos with friends and family instantly. However, the constant use of social media can lead to feelings of isolation and loneliness, as we spend more time interacting with screens rather than real people.Moreover, technology has also made it easier for us to communicate with others without having to meet themface-to-face. While this can be beneficial in some cases, such as connecting with loved ones who live far away or collaborating with colleagues in different time zones, it can also lead to misunderstandings and miscommunications. Facial expressions, gestures, and tone of voice are all important aspects of communication that can be lost in text messages or emails.In conclusion, technology has had a profound impact on communication in today's society. While it has made communication faster and more convenient, it has also had some negative effects on interpersonal relationships and face-to-face interactions. It is essential for us to strike a balance between using technology to communicate and maintaining meaningful connections with those around us.Overall, the Bachelor's Degree English Proficiency Exam for Adult Higher Education in Guangdong aims to assess students' reading comprehension and writing skills in English.

There had been a fire in the forest which had gone out.But the air was still full of smoke and fallen trees had blocked the track.Jack was just going to turn back when he saw something moving in the smoke.He waited.It was a girl on a horse, and she was riding towards him.“There’s a badly burnt man on the farm,” the girl shouted.“He saved my life.Please help me to save him.”The girl was Cathy Henderson.She had been on horseback for two hours.She had to jump over fallen trees that were still burning.Her pony had fallen with her twice.She was thirsty and almost dead from want of sleep.But she rode back to the farm with Jack immediately.Joe Brook was unconscious when they reached him.They lifted him onto Jack’s horse.The ride back to Borrogee was terrible.Cathy was so tired that Jack had to tie her to her pony.The pony was tired too, but its courage was astonishing.It followed Jack right to Borrogee Hospital.Nobody saw them arrive because it was night. “I’ve never seen a horse like that pony,” Jack said.Cathy praised Jack Billabong, but she refused to say anything about the pony, “Joe will write about her in his story,” she said.But she did say one thing: “If flame hadn’t returned to the farm that afternoon, Joe and I would have died.”16.Jack Billabong did not turn back because _____________.A.he hadn’t found the bull yetB.he smelt a heavy smoke in the forestC.he knew there was a burnt man thereD.he saw something moving towards him17.Why was the ride back to Borrogee terrible?A.Because Joe was tired out.B.Because the ride started late at night.C.Because they didn’t have enough courage.D.Because both Cathy and her pony were exhausted.18.Cathy refused to talk to reporters about the pony when she was in BorrogeeHospital because ____________.A.she didn’t know what to sayB.Jack asked her not to talk to themC.she was too weak to say anythingD.Joe would write about it in his writing19.What does the word “flame” in the last paragraph refer to?A.Jack.B.The pony.C.Jack’s horse.D.The fire.20.Which of the following is the best title of the story?A.Rescue of Joe Brook.B.Courage of Jack Billabong.C.Love of a Young Girl.D.Heroism of a Lovely Pony.Passage TwoThe faces of elderly, happily-married people sometimes resemble each other.Dr.Aiken studied a number of couples who had been married for at least twenty-five years.Each couple provided four photographs—one photo of each partner at the time of their marriage and another photo of each partner twenty-five or more years later.All background was cut from the photos to remove any clues.The photos were then displayed in groups: a random grouping of the persons at the time of their marriage and another random grouping of the same persons who took photographs later.Some testees were asked to pick out the partners.They failed totally with the first group.Their judgements were no better than chance.But with the photos taken twenty-five or more years after the marriage, the testees were quite successful with the most happily-married couples.Dr.Aiken believes there are several reasons why couples grow alike.One reason has something to do with imitation.One person tends to copy or do the same as someone else without knowing it.He says human begins to imitate the expressions of the faces of their loved ones.“Another possible reason,”he says, “is the common experience of the couples.”There is a tendency for people who have the same life experience to change their faces in similar ways.For example, if a couple have suffered from a lot of sad experiences, their faces are likely to change in a similar way.21.Dr.Aiken cut the background from the photos for the purpose of __________.A.imitating the couples’lifeB.grouping the couples againC.leaving no trace for the testeesD.giving the testees more chances22.The underlined sentence “Their judgements were no better than chance”implies that the testees __________.A.did a good job in making their choices.B.had difficulty in picking out the partnersC.had no chance to make the right judgementsD.did better with the first group than with the second23.The underlined word “imitate”(in Para.2) has a similar meaning to __________.A.copyB.changeC.knowD.suffer24.From the passage we can draw the conclusion that ___________.A.couples who look alike can live longerB.most partners have been proved to grow alikeC.the influence between partners can be quite strongD.happily-married couples are often richer than others25.The main purpose of the passage is to ___________.A.explain why couples grow alikeB.tell how couples like each otherC.discuss the function of marriageD.describe the life of happily married couplesPassage ThreeThe three biggest lies in America are: (1) “The check is in the mail”, (2) “Of course I’ll respect you in the morning”, and (3) “It was a computer error.”Of these three little white lies, the worst is the third.It’s the only one that can never be true.Today, if a bank statement cheats you out of $ 900 that way, you know what the clerk is sure to say,”It was a computer error.”Nonsense.The computer is reporting nothing more than what the clerk typed into it.The most annoying case of all is when the computerized cashier in the grocery store shows that an item costs more than it actually does.If the innocent buyer points out the mistake, the checker, bagger, and manager all come together and offer the familiar explanation: “It was a compute error.”It wasn’t, of course that computerized cashier is really nothing more than an electric event.The eye reads the Universal Product Code—chat bar of black and white lines in a corner of the package—and then checks the code against a price list stored in memory.If the price list is right, you’ll be charged accurately.Grocery stores update the price list each day—that is, somebody sits at a keyboard and types in the prices.If the price they type in is too high, there are only two explanations: carelessness or dishonesty.But somehow “a computer error”is supposed to excuse everything.One reason we let people hide behind a computer is the common misperception that huge, modern computers are electric brain with “artificial intelligence.”At some point there might be a machine with intelligence but none exists today.The smartest computer on Earth right now is no more intelligent than your average pen.At this point in the development of computers, the only thing any machine can do is what a human has instructed it to do.26.Of the three lies, the one about computer is the worst because the computer itself __________.A.says nonsenseB.cheats customersC.cannot make the errorD.does not admit its error27.According to the author, a computerized cashier is really just ___________.A.a machine to count moneyB.a machine to receive moneyC.an instrument to print codesD.an instrument to read codes28.Grocery store price lists are updated by ____________.A.a computerB.a keyboardC.an employeeD.an electric brain29.The last paragraph of the passage implies that computers ____________.A.are very cleverB.never make mistakesC.have a good memoryD.are controlled by men30.Which of the following describes the main idea of the passage?puters are stupid and inefficient.puter errors are due to its dishonesty.puters help stores update the price list.puter errors are actually human errors.Passage FourI came across an old country guidebook the other day.It listed all the tradesmen in each village, and it was impressive to see the past variety of services which were available on one’s own doorstep in the late Victorian countryside.Nowadays a traveler in rural England might conclude that the only village tradesmen still flourishing were either selling frozen food to the villagers or selling antiques to visitors.Nevertheless, this would really be a false impression.On the surface, there has been a decline of village commerce, but its power is still remarkable.Our local grocer’s shop, for example, is actually expanding in spite of the competition from supermarkets in the nearest town.Women sensibly prefer to go there and exchange the local news while doing their shopping, instead of queuing up at a supermarket.And the grocer knows well that personal service has a considerable cash value.His prices may be a bit higher than those in the town, but he will deliver anything at any time.His assistants think nothing of bicycling down the village street in their lunch hour to take a piece of cheese to an old retired woman who sent her order by word of mouth with a friend who happened to be passing.The richer customers telephone their shopping lists and the goods are on their doorsteps within an hour.They have only to hint at a fancy for some commodity outside the usual stock and the grocer, a red faced-figure, instantly obtains it for them.31.Nowadays the commercial services in the village are ____________.A.still very activeB.quickly decliningC.unable to flourishD.personal to visitors32.The local grocer’s shop is expanding because _____________.A.the competition there is weakB.it is a place for women to chatC.it provides good personal serviceD.the goods there are more valuable33.Which of the following is true about the supermarkets?A.Prices there are much higherB.Customers often have to queue up.C.Customers can order by telephone.D.Their personal services are satisfactory.34.How do the village grocer’s assistants feel about giving extra service?A.They don’t think it a trouble.B.They don’t think it worthwhile.C.They don’t consider it a good deal.D.They don’t consider it a pleasant experience.35.One special feature of the village shop is that ___________.A.there is a very wide range of goods availableB.customers can order goods by word of mouthC.customer have to order goods one hour earlierD.there is a list of goods to be delivered to doorstepsPart III V ocabulary and Structure (20 points)Directions: There

Each of the passages is followed by 5 questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.Passage OneHow much do you know about nutrition? If your knowledge is similar to that of food shoppers who answered three surveys for the U. S. Food and Drug Administration, then you probably share some wide-spread misinformation about nutrition. Check your answers to the following statements. Is it true or false?Statement 1: Fresh vegetables cooked at home are always more nutritious than canned or frozen vegetables. False. The nutritional difference depends more on how vegetables are handled or prepared than in whether they are bought fresh or packaged. Overcooking, for example, destroys many nutrients. Vegetables cooked in too much water can lose a significant amount of vitamins.Statement 2: When dieting, avoid starchy(淀粉类) foods, such as bread or potatoes. False. If you cut out starchy foods, such as peas, potatoes, bread, and rice, you cut out very good sources of several B vitamins, Vitamin C, and other nutrients. Moreover, ounce for ounce, bread and potatoes have fewer calories than sirloin steak and roast beef.Statement 3: Taking extra vitamins beyond the recommended daily allowances won’t give you more energy. True. It’s widely believed that extra vitamins provide more energy. But taking more than the body needs doesn't make it function better, just as overfilling your gas tank doesn’t make your car run faster.If you answered these questions correctly, you can for the time being consider yourself well informed about food and nutrition by today’s standards. But remember that nutrition is a com plex and growing science and that today’s beliefs may be changed as new information becomes available.16. The first paragraph implies that many people __________.A. are well informed about nutritionB. don’t care about nutritionC. have much knowledge of nutritionD. have incorrect ideas about nutrition17. According to paragraph 2, which is NOT true about nutrition?A. Overcooking destroys many nutrients.B. It makes no difference how you prepare vegetables.C. Both fresh and packaged vegetables are nutritious.D. Vitamins in vegetable could be lost during cooking.18. Which is a correct attitude towards starchy food?A. Starchy foods are unnecessary in a balanced diet.B. Bread and steak have the same amount of calories per ounce.C. Valuable nutrients could be found in starchy foods.D. Starchy foods include only peas, potatoes, bread and rice.19. The description of “overfilling your gas tank” shows why __________.A. one should take as much vitamins as possibleB. more than enough vitamins is unnecessaryC. vitamins cost as much as gasD. doctors recommend allowance of vitamins20. A good title for this article would be__________.A. Tips of Losing Weight EffectivelyB. Test Your Nutrition IQC. Nutrition: A Complex Branch of ScienceD. Misleading Nutrition ConceptsPassage TwoMost women in Ghana--the educated and illiterate, the urban and rural, the young and old--work to earn an income in addition to maintaining their roles as housewives and mothers. Their reputation for economic independence, self-reliance, and hard work is well known and well deserved.Most of Ghana’s working women are farmers and traders. Only one woman in five, or even fewer, can be classified as simply housewives. Even these women often earn money by sewing or by baking and cooking things to sell. They also maintain vegetable gardens and chicken farms. Indeed, the woman who depends entirely upon her husband for support is looked upon with disfavor.Traditionally the tasks of motherhood have been shared. Mothers and sisters, grandmothers and nieces all helped to raise the children and to carry out daily tasks. As the family grew, older brothers and sisters also helped to care for the younger ones and helped in the home. Now with more children going to school, with more people moving away from their traditional homes, not only must the mother continue her income-producing activities,but she must take on all the heavy, time-consuming housework.Ghana today is looking for new ways to meet the needs of women and their families, such as providing more day care centers, so women can continue to play their multiple roles in the home and in the economy.21. What is the role of most women in Ghana?A. Handling various housework at home.B. Taking care of children indoors.C. Farming and trading out of house.D. Working as well as maintaining families.22. “self-reliance” could be explained as “__________”.A. making great wealthB. depending on oneselfC. caring for one’s ownD. being a reliable person23. What kind of women do people in Ghana prefer?A. Beautiful and charming.B. Skillful at sewing or baking.C. Depending totally on husbands.D. Working hard to earn incomes.24. Paragraph 3 describes__________.A. how traditional extended families operateB. why women in Ghana have more burdens nowC. how changes in life help the working womenD. the new life style of Ghana’s people25. The author of this article probably agrees that women inGhana should__________.A. stay at home and focus on family lifeB. become as active as men in businessC. try to maintain their original rolesD. make a choice and stick to one rolePassage ThreeThe blues was born on the Mississippi River Delta in the early 1900s. After the Civil War, the slaves were free but life was still not easy. They had to find new work. In the South, work camps were formed. Black people from these camps worked on farms and on building up the Mississippi River banks. During the week the people worked long and hard. They often lived alone, without their families, far from home. On the weekends, the workers got together at picnics or drinking places. Travelling black musicians with guitars entertained them. The musicians sang songs about the difficult life of the workers. These songs werecalled the blues.If you have the blues it means you feel very sad. You can have the blues because you have no money, no job, no lover, or no home. But blue songs were not always sad. Some of them were happy and many of them were funny.Sometimes the blues singers had song contests. Each singer sang new words or a new style of the blues song. They made up the music as they played. In this way they created new music. This is called improvisation. Later, improvisation became a very important part of jazz music.Blues began in the country in the South. As blacks moved into the big cities to work, the blues went with them. There, they sang about life in the cities. W. C. Handy, a black band leader from Memphis made the blues popular all over America. In 1914 he wrote the most famous blues song of all, “The St. Louis Blues”.26. After the Civil War, the Black people _________.A. were mostly slavesB. still led a hard lifeC. enjoyed their new life with familiesD. worked on their own farms27. At the very beginning, the blues were _________.A. not performed on formal occasionsB. traditional songs of the Black peopleC. about the life of travelling musiciansD. very popular throughout the nation28. What kind of emotion does the blues express?A. SadnessB. HappinessC. JokingD. All of the above29. How did “improvisation” come into being?A. The blues singers gathered to have contests.B. New words were added into old songs.C. New styles were played with guitars.D. The blues singers created music while playing.30. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. The blues were born in the country in the South.B. The blues soon disappeared in big cities.C. W. C. Handy is the first blues singer in US.D. The most well-known blues song is “The St. Louis Blues”.Passage FourNo matter who you are or where you come from, one thing is certain：you are acquainted with the mosquito(蚊子)--although you probably wish you weren’t. Mosquitoes are everywhere. They can be found all over the world, and they come in more than 2,500 species. Somewhere, at some time, you have surely met at least one.No one loves the mosquito. But unfortunately the mosquito may decide that she loves you. Yes, She. Only the female mosquito bite s. It’s not because she’s unfriendly: she needs blood to reproduce. Female mosquito is quite selective, and she chooses her victims carefully. First, she uses sensors to find her victim. With these sensors, she tests your body moisture, body warmth, and chemical substances in your sweat. If she likes what she finds, she bites. But if you don’t appeal to her, she’ll reject you for someone more appetizing. The next time a mosquito bites you, just remember that you were chosen. You’re special.If the mosquito likes you, she settles onto your flesh very gently, and she breaks your skin with her proboscis tip. It’s a kind of mouth and it sticks out just below the mosquito’s eyes. She stabs the proboscis tip into your skin at once, and if she hits a blood vessel, she’ll get a full dinner in about a minute. After that, the mosquito is tired. Heavy with your blood, she picks a spot---on a leave or a stone---to lay her eggs. Just one drop of blood will produce hundreds of eggs.31. By the sentence “you are acquainted with the mosquito--although you probably wish you weren’t”, the author means that people _________.A. don’t like mosquito but it is always thereB. know mosquito and wish them wellC. wish all the mosquito disappearedD. want to be friendly to mosquito but fail at last32. Why is it only female mosquito that bites?A. She is more unfriendly than male.B. She is greater in number.C. Blood is her favorite food.D. Blood enables her to lay eggs.33. To select whom to bite, the mosquito’s s ensors may NOT test_________.A. the temperature of the bodyB. the color of the skinC. the chemical elements in sweatD. the wetness of the body34. According to the last paragraph, the function of proboscis tip is to _______.A. find where to biteB. to stick into the flesh and suck bloodC. to remove the skin and collect bloodD. decide whom to reject35. The main idea of the passage could be _______.A. why and how mosquito bites peopleB. why people dislike mosquitoC. what kind of mosquito bites peopleD. how to identify female mosquitoPart III Vocabulary and Structure (20 points)Directions: There are 40 incomplete sentences in this part.
