）V 1.People can be addicted to different things ─e.g., alcohol, drugs, certain foods, or even television. People who have such an addiction are compulsive, i.e., they have a very powerful psychological need that they feel they must satisfy. According to psychologists, many people are compulsive spenders; They feel that they must spend money. This compulsion, like most others, is irrational ─impossible to explain reasonably. For compulsive spenders who buy on credit, charge accounts are even more exciting than money. In other words, compulsive spenders feel that with credit, they can do anything. Their pleasure in spending enormous amounts is actually greater than the pleasure that they get from the things they buy.There is even a special psychology of bargain-hunting. To save money, of course, most people look for sales, low prices, and discounts. Compulsive bargain hunters, however, often buy things that they don’t need just because they are cheap. They want to believe that they are helping their budgets, but they are really playing an exciting game; when they can buy something for less than other people, they feel that they are winning. Most people, experts claim, have two reasons for their behavior: a good reason for the things that they do and the real reason.It is not only scientists, of course, who understand the psychology of spending habits, but also business people. Stores, companies, andadvertisers use psychology to increase business. They co nsider people’s needs for love, power, or influence, their basic values, their beliefs and opinions, and so on in their advertising and sales methods.Psychologists often use a method called ―behavior therapy‖ to help individuals solve their personality problems. In the same way, they can help people who feel that they have problems with money.1). According to the psychologists a compulsive spender is one who spends large amounts of money （）.A. and takes great pleasure from what he or she buysB. in order to satisfy his or her basic needs in lifeC. just to meet his or her strong psychological needD. entirely with an irrational eagerness满分：2 分 C2). According to the writer, compulsive bargain hunters are in constant search of the lowest possible prices （）.A. because they want to save money to help their budgetsB. because they can openly boast of their triumph over others in getting things for lessC. and will not have money problems if they can keep to their budgetsD. but they seldom admit they feel satisfied if they can get things for less than others满分：2 分 A3). Which of the following is TRUE?A. All people spend money for exactly the same reason that they need to buy things.B.Business people and advertisers can use the psychology of money to increase salesC. Business people understand the psychology of compulsive buying better than scientists doD. compulsive bargain hunters do not have problems with money.满分：2 分 B4). The article is mainly about（）.A. the psychology of money – spending habitsB. the purchasing habits of compulsive spendersC. a special psychology of bargain huntingD. the use of the psychology of spending habits in business满分：2 分 A5). From the passage we may safely conclude that compulsive spenders or compulsive bargain hunters（）A. are really unreasonableB. need special treatmentC. are really beyond remediesD. can never get any help to solve their problems with money满分：2 分 B三、阅读理解（共1 道试题，共10 分。

Reading Comprehension Passage 1Pigeons have been used as messengers for 500 years, because of their special ability to find home. The mystery of the homing pigeon is on how it navigates and how it finds home. We now know that there are two ways that pigeons tell directions. First, they use the sun. Just getting rough directions from the sun is easy. However, getting accurate directions from the sun takes more care. To tell direction accurately from the sun, one needs to know the exact time.All plants and animals seem to have built-in clocks. Usually these biological clocks are not quite exact in measuring time. However, they work pretty well, because they are “ reset ” every day, maybe when the sun gets up.Do pigeons use their biological clocks to help them find direction from the sun We can experiment to find out. We can keep pigeons in a room lighted only by lamps. And we can time the lighting to make their artificial “ days ” start at somediffelroeunttstiidmeedfaroy.mAtfht e r raea______ C _______A. Forget it. C. That ' s great!27. — My children are always arguing.A. Just leave them alone.B. That 28. —I wonder if I could use your dictionary A.Go onB. Here you are29. — Madam, do all the buses go downtownA. Wow, you got the idea. C. Pretty well, I guess.30. — Where is Tom this morning— He 'A. Just tell him to take it easy.B. Sorry, I like Mexican food.D. Glad you like it. — ____ A ______s Crig. hAtr.e you sure D. How old are the boys — Sure. ____ B ________ .C. Go upD. Here are you— ______ D ____ B. No, never mind. D. Sorry, I ' m new here._____ A _____s got a cold. —B. What ' s the matter with himC. He is absent.D. What Where is hewhile we have shifted their clocks. Now we take them far away from home and let them go on a sunny day. Most of them start out as if they know just which way to go, but choose a wrong direction. They have picked a direction that would be correct for the position of the sun and the time of day according to their shifted clocks.The above experiment shows that homing pigeons can tell directions by the sun. What happens when the sky is darkly overcast by clouds and no one can see where the sun is The pigeons still find their way home. So it seems that pigeons also have some extra sense of direction from the earth ' s magnetic field when they cannot see the sun.1. Pigeons have been used as messengers, for they have special ability ___ B _______ .A. to send lettersB. to find homeC. to carry food for menD. to lead the way for people2. The secret of the homing pigeons is ______ B _____ .A. how they find foodB. how they find homeC. how they take a letterD. how they take care of children3. All plants and animals reset their biological clocks when ______ A ______ .A. the sun risesB. the sun setsC. the moon risesD. the moon sets4. The experiment tells us that the pigeons fly __ C__ because of the shifted biological clocks.A. in a wrong directionB. in a correct directionC. in all directionsD. in a circle5. Pigeons have ___C___ to tell the direction when it is cloudy by using the earth ' s magnetic field.A. sharp eyesB. sensitive hearingC. sense of directionD. brain wavesPassage 2The speaker, a teacher from a community college, addressed a sympathetic audience. Heads nodded in agreement when he said, "High school English teachers are not doing their jobs." He described the inadequacies of his students, all high school graduates who can use language only at a grade 9 level. I was unable to determine from his answers to my questions how this grade 9 level had been established.My topic is not standards nor its decline （降低）. What the speaker was really saying is that he is no longer young; he has been teaching for sixteen years, and is able to think and speak like a mature adult.My point is that the frequent complaint of one generation about the one immediately following it is inevitable. It is also human nature to look for the reasons for our dissatisfaction. Before English became a school subject in the late nineteenth century, it was difficult to find the target of the blame for language deficiencies （缺陷）. But since then, English teachers have been under constant attack.The complainers think they have hit upon an original idea. As their own command of the language improves, they notice that young people do not have this same ability. Unaware that their own ability has developed through the years, they assume the new generation of young people must be hopeless in this respect. To the eyes and ears of sensitive adults the language of the young always seems inadequate.Since this concern about the decline and fall of the English language is not perceived as a generational phenomenon but rather as something new and peculiar to today's young people, it naturally follows that today's English teachers cannot be doing their jobs. Otherwise, young people would not commit offenses against the language.6. The speaker the author mentioned in the passage believed that __D___.A. the language of the younger generation is usually inferior to that of the older generationB. the students had a poor command of English because they didn't work hard enoughC. he was an excellent language teacher because he had been teaching English for sixteen yearsD. English teachers should be held responsible for the students' poor command of English7. In the author's opinion, the speaker ___B___.A. gave a correct judgment of the English level of the studentsB. had exaggerated the language problems of the studentsC. was right in saying that English teachers were not doing their jobsD. could think and speak intelligently8. The author's attitude towards the speaker's remarks is ___ C _ .A. neutralB. positiveC. criticalD. compromising9. It can be concluded from the passage that _ D ___ .A. it is justifiable to include English as a school subjectB. the author disagrees with the speaker over the stadard of English at Grade 9 levelC. English language teaching is by no means an easy jobD. Language improvement needs time and effort10. In the passage the author argues that _ A __ .A. it is unfair to blame the English teachers for the language deficiencies of the studentsB. young people would not commit offences against the language if the teachers did their jobs properlyC. to eliminate language deficiencies one must have sensitive eyes and earsD. to improve the standard of English requires the effort of several generationsPassage 3Is there a “ success personalitytome ” i—ning combination of qualities that leads almost inevitably to achievement If so, exactly what is that secret success formula, and can anyone cultivate itAt the Gallup Organization we recently focused in depth on success, probing the attitudes and qualities of 1 500 prominent people selected at random from Who ' s Who in America. Our research finds out a number of qualities that occur regularly among top achievers. H ere is one of the most important, that is, common sense.Common sense is the most prevailing quality possessed by our respondents（回答者）.Seventy-nine percent award themselves a top score in this category. And 61 percent say that common sense was very important in contributing to their success.To most, common sense means the ability to present sound, practical judgments on everyday affairs. To do this, one has to sweep aside extraneous ideas and get right to the core of what matters. A Texas oil and gas businessman puts it this way: “Th^ey ability for success is simplifying. In conducting meetings and dealing with industry, reducing a complex problem to the simplest terms is highly imp ortant. ”Is common sense a quality a person is born with, or can you do som ething to increase it The oil man ' s answer is that common sense ca definitely be developed. He attributes his to learning how to debate in school. Another way to increase your store of common sense is to observe it in others, learning from their —and your own —mistakes.Besides common sense, there are many other factors that influence success: knowing your field, self-reliance, intelligence, the ability to get things done, leadership, creativity, relationships with others, and of course, luck. But common sense stands out. If you cultivate these qualities, you' ll succeed. And you might even find yourself listed inWhd s Whosomeday.11. It can be known from the passage that Who s Who__C __ .A. is a very useful book telling us how to succeedB. is a book providing us with the information about the family life of some famous peopleC. is a book providing us with the names and brief biographies of the top successful peopleD. is a book from which we can find out the names of different peoples in the world12. According to the author, common sense __ B__.A. is something that common people like bestB. is something that enables one to form correct opinionsC. is a popular quality a person is born withD. is a quality that is possessed by common people13. The word “ extraneous ” in Paragraph 4 most probably mean ___ .A. rightB. extraordinaryC. clearD. not related14. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a factor for success BA. Intelligence.B. Modesty.C. Creativity.D. Good luck.15. The passage is mainly concerned with __ D __ .A. organizational ability and good work habitsB. the way to obtain big profits and achieve fame and successC. knowledge and interest which are primary to successD. what successful people have in commonPassage 4Baekeland and Hartmann report that the short sleepers ” had been more or less average in their sleep needs until the men were in their teens. But at about age 15 or so, the men voluntarily began cutting down their nightly sleep time because of pressures from school, work, and other activities. These men tended to view their nightly periods of unconsciousness as bothersome interruptions in their daily routines.In general, these short sleeps ” appeared ambitious, active, energetic, cheerful, conformist（不动摇）in their opinions, and very sure about their career choices. They often held several jobs at once, or workers full-or part-time while going to school. And many of them had a strong urge to appear “normal ” or “acceptable ” to their friends and associates.When asked to recall their dreams, the short sleepers” did poorly. More than this, they seemed to prefer not remembering. In similar fashion, their usual way of dealing with psychological problems was to deny that the problem existed, and then to keep busy in the hope that the trouble would go away.The sleep patterns of the short sleepers" were similar to, but less extreme than, sleep patterns shown by many mental patients categorized as manic（疯人）.The long sleepers” were quite different indeed. Baekeland and Hartmann report that these young men had been lengthy sleeps since childhood. They seemed to enjoy their sleep, protected it, and were quite concerned when they were occasionally deprived of their desired 9 hours of nightly bed rest. They tended to recal l their dreams much better than did the “ short sleepers. ”Many of the long sleepers” were shy, anxious, introverted （内向）,inhibited （压抑）,passive, mildly depressed, and unsure of themselves （particularly in social situations）. Several openly states that sleep was an escape from their daily problems.16. According to the report, _ D __ .A. many short sleepers need less sleep by natureB. many short sleepers are obliged to reduce their nightly sleep time because they are busy with their workC. long sleepers sleep a longer period of time during the dayD. many long sleepers preserve their sleeping habit formed during their childhood17. Many “ short sleepers ” are likely to hold the view that __C__ .A. sleep is a withdrawal from the realityB. sleep interferes with their sound judgementC. sleep is the least expensive item on their routine programD. sleep is the best way to deal with psychological troubles18. It is stated in the third paragraph that short sleepers __B _ .A. are ideally vigorous even under the pressures of lifeB. often neglect the consequences of inadequate sleepC. do not know how to relax properlyD. are more unlikely to run into mental problems19. When sometimes they cannot enjoy adequate sleep, the long sleepers might A .A. appear disturbedB. become energeticC. feel dissatisfiedD. be extremely depressed20. Which of the following is Not included in the passage BA. If one sleeps inadequately, his performance suffers and his memory is weakenedB. The sleep patterns of short sleepers are exactly the sane as those shown by many mental patientsC. Long and short sleepers differ in their attitudes towards sleepD. Short sleepers would be better off with more restPassage 5Not so long ago almost any student who successfully completes a university degree or diploma course could find a good career quite easily. However, those days are gone, even in Hong Kong, and nowadays graduates often face strong competition in the search for jobs.Job seekers first have to make a careful assessment of their own abilities. One area of assessment should be of their academic qualifications, which would include special skills within their subject area. Graduates should also consider their own personal values and attitudes, or the relative importance to themselves of such matters as money, security, leadership and caring for others.The second stage is to study the opportunities available for employment and to think about how the general employment situation is likely to develop in the future. After studying all the various options, they should be in a position to make informed comparisons between various careers.Job application forms and letters should, of course, be filled in carefully and correctly, without grammar or spelling errors.When graduates are asked to attend for interview, they should prepare properly by finding out all they can about the prospective employer. Dressing suitably and arriving for the interview on time are also obviously important. Interviewees should try to give positive and helpful answers and should not be afraid to ask questions about anything they are unsure about. This is much better than pretending to understand a question and giving an unsuitable answer.There will always be good career opportunities for people with ability, skills and determination; the secret to securing a good job to be one of them.21. In Paragraph 1, the sentence “-those days are gone, even in Hong Kong…"suggest that ___ D __ .A. Hong Kong is no longer the good place for finding jobsB. nowadays, everyone in Hong Kong has an equal chance of finding a good careerC. it used to be harder to find a good job in Hong Kong than in other countries.D. in the past, finding a good career was easier in Hong Kong than elsewhere22.

Others say that the opposite is true: those international contests encourage false national pride and lead to misunderstanding and hatred. There is probably some truth in both arguments, but in recent years the Olympic Games have done little to support the view that sports encourage international brotherhood. Not only was there the tragic incident involving the murder of athletes, but the Games were also ruined by lesser incidents caused principally by minor national contests.One country received its second-place medals with visible indignation after the hockey final. There had been noisy scenes at the end of the hockey match, the losers objecting to final decisions. They were convinced that one of their goals should not have been disallowed and that their opponents ' victory was unfair. Their manager was in a rage when he said, “This wasn 'tthheoIcnkt e ryn.aHti o cnkael yHaoncdkey Federationare finished. ” The president of the Federation said later that such behavior could result in the suspension of the team fotr laeast two years.The American basketball team announced that they would not yield first place to Russia, after a disputable end to their contest. The game had ended in disturbance. It was thought at first that the United States had won, by a single point, but it was announced that there were three seconds still to play. A Russian player then threw the ball from one end of the court to the other, and another player popped it into basket. It was the first time the USA had ever lost an Olympic basketball match. An appeal jury debated the matter for four and a half hours before announcing that the result would stand. The American players then voted for not to receive the silver medals.Incidents of this kind will continue as long as sport is played competitively rather than for the love of the game. The suggestion that athletes should compete as individuals, or in non-national team, might be too much to hope for. But in the present organization of the Olympics there is far too much that encourages aggressive patriotism.26. According to the author, recent Olympic Games have ___ C_____ .A. created good will between the nationsB. bred only false national prideC. barely showed any international friendshipD. led to more and more misunderstanding and hatred27. What did the manager mean by saying “… Hockey and the International Hockey Federation areBinished.A. His team would no longer take part in the international games.B. Hockey and the Federation are both ruined by the unfair decisions.C. There should be no more hockey matches organized by the Federation.D. The Federation should be dissolved.28. The basketball example implied that ____ A _____ .A. too much patriotism was displayed in the incident.B. the announcement to prolong the match was wrongC. The appeal jury was too hesitant in making the decisionD. the American team was right in rejecting the silver medals29. The author gives the two examples in Paragraph 2 and 3 to show ___ C ____ .A. how false national pride led to undesirable incidents in international gamesB. that sportsmen have been more obedient than they used to beC. that competitiveness in the games discourages international friendshipD. that unfair decisions are common in Olympic Games30.

was lucky：]became a pilot in 1970，almost ten years before I graduated from medical school．I didn't realize then，but becoming a pilot makes me a better surgeon．I loved flying．As I flew bigger，faster planes，and in worse weather．I learned about crew resource management （机组资源管理），or CRM，a new idea to make flying safer．It means that crew members should listen and speak up for a good result，regardless of positions．I first read about CRM in 1980．Not long after that，an attending doctor and I wereflying in bad weather．The controller had us turn too late to get our landing ready．The attending doctor was flying；I was safety pilot He was so busy because of the bad turn，he had forgotten to put the landing gear （起落架）down．He was a better pilot﹣and my boss﹣so it felt unusual to speak up．But I had to：Our lives were in danger．I put aside my uneasiness and said，"We need to put the landing gear down now!"That was my first real lesson in the power of CRM，and I've used it in the operating room ever since．CRM requires that the pilot/surgeon encourage others to speak up．It further requires that when opinions are from the opposite，the doctor doesn't overreact，which might prevent fellow doctors from voicing opinions again．So when I'm in the operating room，I ask for ideas and help from others．Sometimes they're not willing to speak up．But I hope that if I continue to encourage them，someday someone will keep me from"landing gear up"．36．What does the author say about doctors in general？．A．They like flying by themselves．B．They are unwilling to take advice．C．They pretend to be good pilots．D．They are quick learners of CRM．37．The author deepened his understanding of the power of CRM when．A．he saved the plane by speaking upB．he was in charge of a flying taskC．his boss landed the plane too lateD．his boss operated on a patient38．In the last paragraph"landing gear up"probably means．A．following flying requirements．B．overreacting to different opinions．C．listening to what fellow doctors sayD．making a mistake that may cost lives39．Which of the following can be the best title for the text？．A．CRM：A New Way to Make Flying SafeB．Flying Makes Me a Better DoctorC．The Making of a Good PilotD．A Pilot﹣Turned Doctor．40．（8分）In 1947 a group of famous people from the art world headed by an Austrian conductor decided to hold an international festival of music，dance and theatre in Edinburgh．The idea was to reunite Europe after the Second World War．At the same time，the"Fringe"appeared as a challenge to the official festival．Eight theatre groups turned up uninvited in 1947，in the belief that everyone should have the right to perform，and they did so in a public house disused for years．Soon，groups of students firstly from Edinburgh University，and later from the universities of Oxford and Cambridge，Durham and Birmingham were making the journey to the Scottish capital each summer to perform theatre by little﹣known writers of plays in small church halls to the people of Edinburgh．Today the"Fringe"，once less recognized，has far outgrown the festival with around 1，500performances of theatre，music and dance on every one of the 21days it lasts．And years early as 1959，with only 19theatre groups performing，some said it was getting too big．A paid administrator was first employed only in 1971，and today there are eight administrators working all year round and the number rises to 150 during August itself．In 2004there were 200 places housing 1，695 shows by over 600different groups from 50different countries．More than 1，25 million tickets were sold．40．Point was the purpose of Edinburgh Festival at he beginning？．A．To bring Europe together again．B．To honor heroes of World War 11．C．To introduce young theatre groups．D．To attract great artists from Europe．41．Why did some uninvited theatre groups come to Edinburgh in 1947？．A．They owned a public house there．B．They came to take up a challenge．C．They thought they were also famous．D．They wanted to take part in the festival．42．Who joined the"Fringe"after it appeared？．A．Popular writersB．University students．C．Artists from around the world．D．Performers of music and dance．43．We may learn from the text that Edinburgh Festival．．A．has become a non﹣official eventB．has gone beyond an art festivalC．gives shows all year roundD．keeps growing rapidly．44．（8分）Given that many people's moods （情绪）are regulated by the chemical action of chocolate，it was probably only a matter of time before somebody made the chocolate shop similar to a drugstore of Chinese medicine．Looking like a setting from the film Charlie the Chocolate Factory，Singapore's Chocolate Research Facility （CRF）has over 100varieties of chocolates．its founder is Chris Lee who grew up at his parents'comer store with one hand almost always in the jar of sweets．If the CRF seems to be a smart idea，that's because Lee is not merely a seasoned salesperson but also head of a marketing department that has business relations with big names such as Levi's and Sony．That idea surely results in the imagination at work when it comes to making different flavored（味道）chocolates．The CRF's produce is"green"．made within the country and divided into 10 lines，with the Alcohol Series being the most popular．The Exotic Series一with Sichuan pepper，red bean （豆）．cheese and other flavors一also does well and is fun to taste．And for chocolate snobs，who think that they have a better knowledge ofchocolate than others，the Connoisseur Series uses cocoa beans from Togo，Cuba，Venezuela，and Ghana，among others．44．What is good about chocolate？．A．It serves as a suitable gift．B．It works as an effective medicine．C．It helps improve the state of mind．D．It strengthens business relations．45．Why is Chris Lee able to develop his idea of the CRF？．A．He knows the importance of research．B．He learns form shops of similar types．C．He has the support of many big namesD．He has a lot of marketing experience．46．Which line of the CRF produce sells best？．A．The Connoisseur Series．B．The Exotic Series．C．The Alcohol Series．D．The Sichuan Series．47．The words"chocolate snobs"in Paragraph 3probably refer to people who．A．are particular about chocolateB．know little about cocoa beansC．look down upon othersD．like to try new flavors．48．（6分）Low﹣Cost Gifts for Mother's DayGift No.1Offer to be your mother's health friend．Promise to be there for any and all doctor's visits whether a disease or a regular medical check﹣up．Most mothers always say"no need，"another set of eyes and ears is always a good idea at a doctor's visit．The best part？This one is free．Gift No.2Help your mother organize all of her medical records，which include the testresults and medical information．Put them all in one place．Be sure to make a list of all of her medicines and what times she takes them．"Having all this information in one place could end up saving your mother's life，"Dr．Marie Savard said．Gift No.3Enough sleep is connected to general health conditions．"Buy your mother cotton sheets and comfortable pillows to encourage better sleep，"Savard said．"We know that good sleep is very important to our health．"Gift No.4Some gift companies such as Presents for Purpose allow you to pay it

don't listen because they already know it all．I was lucky：]became a pilot in 1970，almost ten years before I graduated from medical school．I didn't realize then，but becoming a pilot makes me a better surgeon．I loved flying．As I flew bigger，faster planes，and in worse weather．I learned about crew resource management （机组资源管理），or CRM，a new idea to make flying safer．It means that crew members should listenand speak up for a good result，regardless of positions．I first read about CRM in 1980．Not long after that，an attending doctor and I were flying in bad weather．The controller had us turn too late to get our landing ready．The attending doctor was flying；I was safety pilot He was so busy because of the bad turn，he had forgotten to put the landing gear （起落架）down．He was a better pilot﹣and my boss﹣so it felt unusual to speak up．But I had to：Our lives were in danger．I put aside my uneasiness and said，"We need to put the landing gear down now!"That was my first real lesson in the power of CRM，and I've used it in the operating room ever since．CRM requires that the pilot/surgeon encourage others to speak up．It further requires that when opinions are from the opposite，the doctor doesn't overreact，which might prevent fellow doctors from voicing opinions again．So when I'm in the operating room，I ask for ideas and help from others．Sometimes they're not willing to speak up．But I hope that if I continue to encourage them，someday someone will keep me from"landing gear up"．36．What does the author say about doctors in general？B．A．They like flying by themselves．B．They are unwilling to

新托福iBT 口语黄金80题（答案版）1. 说出你认为对你最有用的一本书，并解释原因。
The most important book for me is my (1)undergraduate(2)major textbook which is called(3)marketing. Because as we all know that marketing is a kind of major which cuts across the(4) boundaries of many different (5)disciplines, so it (6)broadens my knowledge (7)scope, such as the(8) aspects of (9)advertising and trade. On the other hand, well, a plenty of cases are included in this book, in addition, many definitions can explained very(10) acceptable so it(11)definitely helps me to get a deeply understanding of my major.2. 电视对于现代社会有正面作用还是负面作用，选择其中之一并解释原因。
As far as I am (12)concerned, television has more positive effects towards the modern society than its negative sides. First, from the news (13)broadcastingin the television, we can know what is happening in the outside world even without stepping out our living room with television in it. And second, watching television with family members after supper is a good way to relax after a hard day’s work. What’s more, its visual effect makes people feel less stressed and has a great influence on the way people think and talk.3. Describe the most important decision that you made in your life.()Personally speaking, the most important decision that I have made in my life is to choose marketing as my major in university, as we all know that marketing is a kind of major which cuts across the ()boundaries of many different disciplines, so in order to learn it well, I have to learn various subjects such as international trade and brand management. What’s more, i’m little timidity in front of challenges such as doing the presentation and negotiation, I guess most of the people may have this kind of stage fright, So marketing is a major can definitely annealmyself. During the studies in university, I learned hard and practiced as much as I could. Finally, I got the highest GPA in my grade.4. Do you think the high school should teach music and art as other basic science?I bet no one could deny that the main responsibility of a high school is to help its students develop various abilities not only the academic abilities. In other words, music and art should be viewed as basic science. Firstly, It is very important to get fully educated for students. Music and art can help the students appreciate beauty in our lives, and that will broaden knowledge scope of students. Also Music and art do good to students’ mentality. A sound mentality is essential to the student’s future.5. 空闲时间用来做什么?When I have time to kill, I usually like to surf the internet to pay close attention to new fashion trade. Such as the fashion week, respectively, new york fashion week, paris fashion week, London fashion week and milian fashion week. The rest of time, I usually go to the library to find some valuable booksand a park to relax myself. There are many books to my taste, such as fashion magazines, inspirational books, and professional books. These books can make me healthier and energetic. And last thing I’d like to do when I am free is to eat out with my family members. You may be surprised to know that I have tried all the restaurants in our community!6. 打手机该不该在一些地方禁止？I strongly agree with the opinion that the use of a mobile phone should be forbidden in some places, such as library and airplanes. The most common reason for people going to a library is to find a silent environment to read their favorite books without interruption. But if you receive a phone call in the library or just send out messages, the mobile phone will ring. Though people have personal right to use their mobile phone, the others are not supposed to be involved in the unnecessary disturbance. And I do not think it is very polite unless you can turn down the volume. Another place is airplane. As we all know that it is very dangerous to have a phone call in airplane. It may causes interference between thesignals. Therefore mobile phone should be forbidden in airplanes unless there is a new technique can avoid it.7.描述一件自己印象深刻的celebration或者moment。
2013年高考英语试题分类汇编_科普类阅读理解_Word版含解析
2013年高考英语试题分类汇编之科普类阅读理解【重庆卷】 CAlmost every machine with moving parts has wheels, yet no one knows exactly when the first wheel was invented or what it was used for. We do know, however, that they existed over 5,500 years ago in ancient Asia.The oldest known transport wheel was discovered in 2002 in Slovenia. It is over 5,100 years old. Evidence suggests that wheels for transport didn't become popular for a while, though. This could be because animals did a perfectly good job of carrying farming tools and humans around.But it could also be because of a difficult situation. While wheels need to roll on smooth surfaces, roads with smooth surfaces weren't going to be constructed until there was plenty of demand for them. Eventually, road surfaces did become smoother, but this difficult situation appeared again a few centuries later. There had been no important changes in wheel and vehicle design before the arrival of modem road design.In the mid-1700s, a Frenchman came up with a new design of road—a base layer (层) of large stones covered with a thin layer of smaller stones. A Scotsman improved on this design in the 1820s and a strong, lasting road surface became a reality. At around the same lime, metal hubs (the central part of a wheel) came into being, followed by the pneumatic tyre(充气轮胎) in 1846. Alloy wheels were invented in 1967, sixty years after the appearance of tarmacked roads (柏油路). As wheel design took off, vehicles got faster and faster.64. What might explain why transport wheels didn't become popular for some time?A. Few knew how to use transport wheels.B. Humans carried farming tools just as well.C.

The mystery of the homing pigeon is on how it navigates and how it finds home. We now know that there are two ways that pigeons tell directions. First, they use the sun. Just getting rough directions from the sun is easy. However, getting accurate directions from the sun takes more care. To tell direction accurately from the sun, one needs to know the exact time.All plants and animals seem to have built-in clocks. Usually these biological clocks are not quite exact in measuring time. However, they work pretty well, because they are “reset” every day, maybe when the sun gets up.Do pigeons use their biological clocks to help them find direction from the sun We can experiment to find out. We can keep pigeons in a room lighted only by lamps. And we can time the lighting to make their artificial “days” start at some different time fr om the real outside day. After a while we have shifted their clocks. Now we take them far away from home and let them go on a sunny day. Most of them start out asif they know just which way to go, but choose a wrong direction. They have picked a direction that would be correct for the position of the sun and the time of day according to their shifted clocks.The above experiment shows that homing pigeons can tell directions by the sun. What happens when the sky is darkly overcast by clouds and no one can see where the sun is The pigeons still find their way home. Soit seems that pigeons also have some extra sense of direction from the earth’s magnetic field when they cannot see the sun.1. Pigeons have been used as messengers, for they have special ability ______B_______.A. to send lettersB. to find homeC. to carry food for menD. to lead the way for people2. The secret of the homing pigeons is ________B_____.A. how they find foodB. how they find homeC. how they take a letterD. how they take care of children3. All plants and animals reset their biological clocks when________A______.A. the sun risesB. the sun setsC. the moon risesD. the moon sets4. The experiment tells us that the pigeons fly ____C__ because of the shifted biological clocks.A. in a wrong directionB. in a correct directionC. in all directionsD. in a circle5. Pigeons have ___C___ to tell the direction when it is cloudy by using the earth’s magnetic field.A. sharp eyesB. sensitive hearingC. sense of directionD. brain wavesPassage 2The speaker, a teacher from a community college, addressed a sympathetic audience. Heads nodded in agreement when he said, "High school English teachers are not doing their jobs." He described the inadequacies of his students, all high school graduates who can use language only at a grade 9 level. I was unable to determine from his answers to my questions how this grade 9 level had been established.My topic is not standards nor its decline (降低). What the speaker was really saying is that he is no longer young; he has been teachingfor sixteen years, and is able to think and speak like a mature adult.My point is that the frequent complaint of one generation about the one immediately following it is inevitable. It is also human nature to look for the reasons for our dissatisfaction. Before English became a school subject in the late nineteenth century, it was difficult to find the target of the blame for language deficiencies (缺陷). But since then, English teachers have been under constant attack.The complainers think they have hit upon an original idea. As their own command of the language improves, they notice that young people donot have this same ability. Unaware that their own ability has developed through the years, they assume the new generation of young people mustbe hopeless in this respect. To the eyes and ears of sensitive adultsthe language of the young always seems inadequate.Since this concern about the decline and fall of the Englishlanguage is not perceived as a generational phenomenon but rather as something new and peculiar to today's young people, it naturally follows that today's English teachers cannot be doing their jobs. Otherwise, young people would not commit offenses against the language.6. The speaker the author mentioned in the passage believed that __D___.A. the language of the younger generation is usually inferior to that of the older generationB. the students had a poor command of English because they didn't work hard enoughC. he was an excellent language teacher because he had been teaching English for sixteen yearsD. English teachers should be held responsible for the students' poor command of English7. In the author's opinion, the speaker ___B___.A. gave a correct judgment of the English level of the studentsB. had exaggerated the language problems of the studentsC. was right in saying that English teachers were not doing their jobsD. could think and speak intelligently8. The author's attitude towards the speaker's remarks is ___C___.A. neutralB. positiveC. criticalD. compromising9. It can be concluded from the passage that ___D___.A. it is justifiable to include English as a school subjectB. the author disagrees with the speaker over the stadard of English at Grade 9 levelC. English language teaching is by no means an easy jobD. Language improvement needs time and effort10. In the passage the author argues that ___A___.A. it is unfair to blame the English teachers for the language deficiencies of the studentsB. young people would not commit offences against the language if the teachers did their jobs properlyC. to eliminate language deficiencies one must have sensitive eyes and earsD. to improve the standard of English requires the effort of several generationsPassage 3Is there a “success personality”— some winning combination of qualities that leads almost inevitably to achievement If so, exactly what is that secret success formula, and can anyone cultivate itAt the Gallup Organization we recently focused in depth on success, probing the attitudes and qualities of 1 500 prominent people selected at random from Who’s Who in America. Our res earch finds out a number of qualities that occur regularly among top achievers. Here is one of the most important, that is, common sense.Common sense is the most prevailing quality possessed by our respondents(回答者). Seventy-nine percent award themselves a top scorein this category. And 61 percent say that common sense was very important in contributing to their success.To most, common sense means the ability to present sound, practical judgments on everyday affairs. To do this, one has to sweep aside extraneous ideas and get right to the core of what matters. A Texas oil and gas businessman puts it this way: “The key ability for success is simplifying. In conducting meetings and dealing with industry, reducing a complex problem to the simplest terms is hi ghly important.”Is common sense a quality a person is born with, or can you do something to increase it The oil man’s answer is that common sense can definitely be developed. He attributes his to learning how to debate in school. Another way to increase your store of common sense is to observe it in others, learning from their — and your own — mistakes.Besides common sense, there are many other factors that influence success: knowing your field, self-reliance, intelligence, the ability to get things done, leadership, creativity, relationships with others, and of course, luck. But common sense stands out. If you cultivate these qualities, you’ll succeed. And you might even find yourself listed in Who’s Who someday.11. It can be known from the passage that Who’s Who___C___.A. is a very useful book telling us how to succeedB. is a book providing us with the information about the family life of some famous peopleC. is a book providing us with the names and brief biographies of the top successful peopleD. is a book from which we can find out the names of different peoples in the world12. According to the author, common sense____B__.A. is something that common people like bestB. is something that enables one to form correct opinionsC. is a popular quality a person is born withD. is a quality that is possessed by common people13. The word“extraneous” in Paragraph 4 most probably means__D____.A. rightB. extraordinaryC. clearD. not related14. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a factor for success? BA. Intelligence.B. Modesty.C. Creativity.D. Good luck.15. The passage is mainly concerned with___D___.A. organizational ability and good work habitsB. the way to obtain big profits and achieve fame and successC. knowledge and interest which are primary to successD. what successful people have in commonPassage 4Baekeland and Hartmann report that the “short sleepers” had been more or less average in their sleep needs until the men were in their teens. But at about age 15 or so, the men voluntarily began cutting down their nightly sleep time because of pressures from school, work, and other activities. These men tended to view their nightly periods of unconsciousness as bothersome interruptions in their daily routines.In general, these “short sleeps” appeared ambitious, active, energetic, cheerful, conformist(不动摇) in their opinions, and very sure about their career choices. They often held several jobs at once, or workers full-or part-time while going to school. And many of them had a strong urge to appear “normal” or “acceptable” to their friends and associates.When asked to recall their dreams, the “short sleepers” did poorly. More than this, they seemed to prefer not remembering. In similar fashion, their usual way of dealing with psychological problems was to deny that the problem existed, and then to keep busy in the hope that the trouble would go away.The sleep patterns of the “short sleepers” were similar to, but less extreme than, sleep patterns shown by many mental patients categorized as manic(疯人).The “long sleepers” were quite different indeed. Baekeland and Hartmann report that these young men had been lengthy sleeps since childhood. They seemed to enjoy their sleep, protected it, and were quite concerned when they were occasionally deprived of their desired 9 hours of nightly bed rest. They tended to recall their dreams much better than did the “short sleepers.”Many of the “long sleepers” were shy, anxious, introverted (内向), inhibited (压抑), passive, mildly depressed, and unsure of themselves (particularly in social situations). Several openly states that sleep was an escape from their daily problems.16. According to the report,___D___.A. many short sleepers need less sleep by natureB. many short sleepers are obliged to reduce their nightly sleep time because they are busy with their workC. long sleepers sleep a longer period of time during the dayD. many long sleepers preserve their sleeping habit formed during their childhood17. Many “short sleepers” are likely to hold the view that __C___.A. sleep is a withdrawal from the realityB. sleep interferes with their sound judgementC. sleep is the least expensive item on their routine programD. sleep is the best way to deal with psychological troubles18. It is stated in the third paragraph that short sleepers __B___.A. are ideally vigorous even under the pressures of lifeB. often neglect the consequences of inadequate sleepC. do not know how to relax properlyD. are more unlikely to run into mental problems19. When sometimes they cannot enjoy adequate sleep, the long sleepers might __A__.A. appear disturbedB. become energeticC. feel dissatisfiedD. be extremely depressed20. Which of the following is Not included in the passage? BA. If one sleeps inadequately, his performance suffers and his memory is weakenedB. The sleep patterns of short sleepers are exactly the sane as those shown by many mental patientsC. Long and short sleepers differ in their attitudes towards sleepD. Short sleepers would be better off with more restPassage 5Not so long ago almost any student who successfully completes a university degree or diploma course could find a good career quite easily. However, those days are gone, even in Hong Kong, and nowadays graduates often face strong competition in the search for jobs.Job seekers first have to make a careful assessment of their own abilities. One area of assessment should be of their academic qualifications, which would include special skills within their subject area. Graduates should also consider their own personal values and attitudes, or the relative importance to themselves of such matters as money, security, leadership and caring for others.The second stage is to study the opportunities available for employment and to think about how the general employment situation is likely to develop in the future. After studying all the various options, they should be in a position to make informed comparisons between various careers.Job application forms and letters should, of course, be filled in carefully and correctly, without grammar or spelling errors.When graduates are asked to attend for interview, they should prepare properly by finding out all they can about the prospective employer. Dressing suitably and arriving for the interview on time are also obviously important. Interviewees should try to give positive andhelpful answers and should not be afraid to ask questions about anything they are unsure about. This is much better than pretending to understand a question and giving an unsuitable answer.There will always be good career opportunities for people with ability, skills and determination; the secret to securing a good job to be one of them.21. In Paragraph 1, the sentence “… those days are gone, even in Hong Kong…” suggest that ___D___.A. Hong Kong is no longer the good place for finding jobsB. nowadays, everyone in Hong Kong has an equal chance of finding a good careerC. it used to be harder to find a good job in Hong Kong than in other countries.D. in the past, finding a good career was easier in Hong Kong than elsewhere22. The word “relative” in Paragraph 2 could best be replaced by“______B____”.A. familyB. comparativeC. considerateD. slight23. The advice given in the first sentence of Paragraph 3 is to______B_____.A. find out what jobs are available and the opportunities for future promotionB. examine the careers available and how these will be affected in the futureC. look at the information on and probable future location of various careersD. study the opportunities and the kinds of training that will be available24. The word “prospective” in Paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to “___C____”.A. generousB. reasonableC. futureD. ambitious25. In paragraph 5, the writer seems to suggest that _____C___.A. interviewees should ask a question if they can’t think of an answerB. pretending to understand a question is better than giving an unsuitable answerC. it is better for interviewees to be honest than to pretend to understandD. it is not a good idea for interviewees to be completely honest in their answersPassage 6Some people believe that international sport creates goodwill between the nations and that if countries play games together they will learn to live together. Others say that the opposite is true: those international contests encourage false national pride and lead to misunderstanding and hatred. There is probably some truth in both arguments, but in recent years the Olympic Games have done little to support the view that sports encourage international brotherhood. Not only was there the tragic incident involving the murder of athletes, but the Games were also ruined by lesser incidents caused principally by minor national contests.One country received its second-place medals with visible indignation after the hockey final. There had been noisy scenes at the end of the hockey match, the losers objecting to final decisions. They were convinced that one of their goals should not have been disallowed and that their opponents’ victory was unfair. Their manager was in a ragew hen he said, “This wasn’t hockey. Hockey and the International Hockey Federation are finished.” The president of the Federation said later that such behavior could result in the suspension of the team for at least two years.The American basketball team announced that they would not yieldfirst place to Russia, after a disputable end to their contest. The game had ended in disturbance. It was thought at first that the United States had won, by a single point, but it was announced that there were three seconds still to play. A Russian player then threw the ball from one end of the court to the other, and another player popped it into basket. It was the first time the USA had ever lost an Olympic basketball match. An appeal jury debated the matter for four and a half hours before announcing that the result would stand. The American players then voted for not to receive the silver medals.Incidents of this kind will continue as long as sport is played competitively rather than for the love of the game. The suggestion thatathletes should compete as individuals, or in non-national team, might be too much to hope for. But in the present organization of the Olympics there is far too much that encourages aggressive patriotism.26. According to the author, recent Olympic Games have _____C_____.A. created good will between the nationsB. bred only false national prideC. barely showed any international friendshipD. led to more and more misunderstanding and hatred27. What did the manager mean by saying “… Hockey and theInternational Hockey Federation are finished.”BA. His team would no longer take part in the international games.B. Hockey and the Federation are both ruined by the unfair decisions.C. There should be no more hockey matches organized by the Federation.D. The Federation should be dissolved.28. The basketball example implied that ______A_____.A. too much patriotism was displayed in the incident.B. the announcement to prolong the match was wrongC. The appeal jury was too hesitant in making the decisionD. the American team was right in rejecting the silver medals29. The author gives the two examples in Paragraph 2 and 3 to show____C____.A. how false national pride led to undesirable incidents in international gamesB. that sportsmen have been more obedient than they used to beC. that competitiveness in the games discourages international friendshipD. that unfair decisions are common in Olympic Games30. What conclusion can be drawn from the passage?DA. International contests are liable for misunderstanding between nations.B. Athletes should compete as individuals in the Olympic Games.C. Sport should be played competitively rather than for the love of the game.D. The organization of the Olympic Games must be improved.III. Vocabulary and Structure1.

2013年12月英语四级考试真题及答案(卷一)
The modern technology has greatly altered the mode of communication among people. With the help of the Internet, people can easily contact each other anytime anywhere. However, the side effect is that many people have become over-dependent on the Internet and neglected face-to-face communication.As far as I'm concerned, electronic communication cannot fully replace the direct contact among people. Although it seems to bring everyone together, it actually estranges people and decreases the effectiveness of communication. A typical example is that, traditionally, people working in the same office simply walk to others and talk. Today, however, co-workers tend to send e-mails or instant messages through the Internet even when they are sitting next to each other. As words can never convey the full message, it usually takes much more time and rounds of conversation than face-to-face communication, in which people can discuss more directly with less loss of information.To conclude, the Internet enables more effective communication in some situations, butover-dependence on it actually pulls people apart.点评：本次四级作文形式仍为漫画题，探讨因特网等现代信息技术对人们交流模式的影响。

2013考研英语作文真题
2013考研英语作文真题Nowadays, with the rapid development of technology, its rolein the field of education has become increasingly significant. This essay aims to discuss the positive and negative impactsof technology on education and propose some suggestions forits optimal use.Firstly, the advent of technology has greatly facilitated the learning process. Students can now access a vast array of information online, which was unimaginable a few decades ago. Online courses and educational platforms have made itpossible for learners to study at their own pace andaccording to their own schedule. This flexibility is particularly beneficial for those who need to balance workand study.Secondly, technology has transformed the way teachers teach. The use of multimedia tools in classrooms can make lessons more engaging and interactive. For instance, teachers can use videos, animations, and digital slides to explain complex concepts in a more digestible manner. Moreover, educational software can help in tracking students' progress andproviding personalized feedback, which can significantly enhance learning outcomes.However, the over-reliance on technology in education alsohas its drawbacks. One of the major concerns is the potential for distraction. With the internet at their fingertips,students may be tempted to engage in non-academic activities during class time, which can detract from their learning. Additionally, the digital divide remains a challenge, as not all students have equal access to technological resources, which can exacerbate existing inequalities in education.To harness the benefits of technology while mitigating its drawbacks, several measures can be taken. Firstly, schools should provide training to both teachers and students on how to use technology effectively in an educational context. Secondly, a balance should be struck between traditional teaching methods and the use of technology to ensure that students develop a well-rounded set of skills. Lastly, efforts should be made to bridge the digital divide by providing affordable access to technology for all students.In conclusion, technology has revolutionized the education sector, offering numerous opportunities for enhancing the learning experience. While there are challenges to overcome, with careful consideration and strategic implementation, technology can be a powerful tool in shaping the future of education.。

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 1“If you want to see a thing wel l, reach out (伸出手) and touch it!”That may seem a strange thing to say. But touching things can help you to see them better. Your eyes can tell you that aglass ball is round. But by holding it in your hands, you can feel how smooth (光滑) and cool the ball is. You can feel how heavy the glass is. When you feel all these about the ball, you really see it. With your skin, you can feel better. For example, your fingers can tell the difference between two coins in your pocket. You can feel a little drop of water on the back of your hand, too.All children soon learn what “Don’t touch!” means. They hear it often. Yet most of us keep on touching things as we grow up. In shops, we touch things as we might buy: food, clothes. T o see something well, we have to touch it. There are ways of learning to see well by feeling. One way is to close your eyes and try to feel everything that is touching your skin. Feel the shoes on your feet, the clothes on your body, the air on your skin. At first, it is not easy to feel these things. You are too used to (习惯于) them!Most museums are just for looking. But today some museums have some things to touc h. Their signs say, “Do touch!” There you can feel everything on show. If we want to see better, reach out and touch. Then you will really see!61. By touching things,________ .A. you will have a strange feelingB. you will learn how to reach out your handC. you can know them betterD. you can tell what colors they are62. When people buy things in shops, they often________ .A. buy them firstB. keep their right hands on themC. ask about themD. feel and touch them63.

Touching is more important than seeing.B. Our feet, fingers, hands and skin can help us buy food.C. People have to learn to see by feeling as they grow up.D. Visitors can feel the things on show in some museums.65. Which of the following can be the best title of the story?A. Touching by Feeling.B. To See or to Feel?C. To See Better — Touch.D. Ways of Feeling.Passage 2The old V olkswagen Beetle —“The Bug” — is making a comeback. People who own them are planning to keep them forever. People who don’t own them are paying hig h prices when they can find one for sale. It’s more remarkable when you realize that VW doesn’t even make them anymore!A spokesman for V olkswagen of America says there were about five million “Bugs” on American roads in 1977.That was the last year they were shipped to America. VW estimates that about four million of them are still running and running and running.Used car dealers say they can’t keep “Bugs” on their lots these days. They feel it’s because these cars have a history of reliable, inexpensive transportation. The cars average about 30 miles per gallon of gas.But all hasn’t been smooth going for the “Bugs”. The heating system is poor. And since it travels very close to the ground, larger cars tend to splash it with winter’s snow and mud. Some in the safety field consider the Beetle as defenseless against heavier cars. But the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has nothing that shows any problem with them at all.66. American people like to have a “Bug”,________.A. because it is no more in productionB. because it is reliable and energy savingC. because it is remarkable and easy to driveD. because it is safe67.

It is defenseless when it is hit by a heavy car.D. The “Bugs” is good for use.Passage 3There are many ways to learn about people of other lands. One way is to study the clothing other people wear. For thousands of years, people in different part of the world have worn very different types of clothing. There are four big reasons for this.One reason might be religion. In many Moslem countries, women must wear veils to hide their faces. The veils must be worn in public. Veils are part of the Moslem religion. The second reason is that different materials are used in different countries. For instance, in France the materials used in clothing may be cotton, silk, wool, or many other man made materials. Most people in China wear cotton.The ways clothes are made are also very different. This is another reason why people dress differently. Western countries rely on machines to make most of their clothing. Someone living inIndia can use only hand power to make the clothing he needs.World wide differences in customs also lead to differences in clothing. A Mexican farmer wears a straw hat with a brim up. In China, a farmer wears a straw hat with a brim down. Both hats are used to protect the farmers from the sun. Some of these customs have come down through thousands of years.71.

Each passage is followed by several questions. Respond to thequestions using information from the passage. Remember to write the answers on the answersheet.Section A (10 marks)Questions 56-60 are based on the following passage.The average automatic teller machine (ATM) is not very smart. It will give money to anyonewho has the right card and punches four or five keys in the right order. Some analysts estimate thatas many as 30% of ATM transaction worldwide are cases of theft. To increase security at cashmachines, some banks have tried to make their ATMs a little smarter. A small camera on themachine looks directly into the eye of every customer. It scans one iris and compares the tinypatterns of ridges, dots, and other features to a code in its computer. If there is a match, the ATMwill start counting out cash. If not, a message is automatically sent to the nearest police station.Iris-scanning is one fast-growing form of biometric identification --- determining whosomeone is by examining features the body. One of the earliest biometric techniques wasfingerprinting. The line on fingerprints are unique to each person, so not even identical twins havethe same fingerprints. Fingerprinting has become famous as a way of finding out who committed acrime, but it very often fails. A careful criminal can swear gloves, avoid touching thing, or evenalter his fingerprints by burning, cutting, or scraping them. In the search for a more reliable system,security experts have focused on the eye.Like a fingerprint, every iris is, for all practical purposes, unique. Each person’s r even different from his or her left one. A low-cost digital camera, like the kind installed at ATMmachines, can easily detect hundreds of different features in the iris. The chance of two iriseshaving the same features is close to zero. Tests have shown that iris-scanners are very hard to fool.They can tell the difference between a real iris and a false one. They can see right through coloredcontact lenses, eyeglasses, and even mirrored sunglasses. Although many criminal are willing toburn or cut their fingers in pursuit of the perfect crime, few would be willing or able to alter theiririses.To make iris-scanning work, a computerized database has to match certain iris features withcertain people. This means that each ATM customer has to allow a bank to photograph his or heriris and keep that highly personal information in a computer. Some people have worried, however,that an increased use of iris-scanning will lead to a dangerous loss of privacy. By mountingiris-scan cameras in public places, governments could track a private citizen all day long withoutethe person’s knowledge. This would be a great advantage to the police, but it could also givcorrupt officials a new way to control their opponents. The military’s development of tiny robo suggests that government iris-scanners could even invade private homes!Questions 56-60Complete the summary with words from the passage, changing the form where necessary, withonly one word for each blank.Section B (10 marks)Questions 61-65 are based on the following passage.Seed catalogues feature hundreds of flowering species. For the persons just beginning gardenthis can be bewildering, and below are the details of some popular choices, nearly all of whichshould be sown in the spring. With the exception of busy lizzies, which need a little care, they areall very easy to grow from seed.DahliasThese are sturdy plants bearing showy flowers in a wide range of rather gaudy colors. Sow ina frame in April and plant the seedlings out when frosts are over. Dahlias flower throughout thesummer and into the autumn. When autumn frosts begin to make them look unhappy, you shoulddig up the tuberous roots and save them. A frost-free loft, shed or garage is the ideal place. Thefollowing spring you plant the tubers instead of sowing seed again.LupinsLupins are hardy perennials. This means that the plants will stay in your garden and carry onflowering year after year. Seed sown in April will usually give you some spikes of colors in thefirst summer, and year by year the plants get bigger and the flowering stems get taller and grander.Selective breeding has led to the introduction of some fine, bicolored varieties in some dazzlingshades. The short-lived flowers make a real misunderstanding spectacle.Busy lizziesLike dahlias, busy lizzies need to be started offunder glass, as they cannot stand frost, and pantingout is best done in May. Outdoor flowering ends inSeptember, so beat the frosts and bring your favoritespecimens indoors to give your home some sintercolor! Indoors they will carry on floweringindefinitely, though you may like to plant them outagain when spring returns. Like pansies (below) they do very well in sun or shade, but the soilmust be moist. Most varieties grow to be a height of only 20 cm or so.PotentillasPotentillas are hardy shrubs. In other words, the woody branches spring from groundlevel —there is no central trunk. Seed is probably best sown in autumn, in which case you shouldkeep the plants in a sheltered spot until April offers favorable conditions for planting out. Onceflowering begins in early summer the best varieties (such as Melton Fire) will stay in bloomATM transactions are often cases of theft, where an unauthorized user takes (56) __money_.To decrease insecurity, some banks have installed iris-scanning machines at ATMs. Thesesmall cameras scan the user ’s iris, recording its features and (57) _comping___ them to adigital file. Every person has a (58) _ unique ___ iris, making iris identification highlyreliable. Earlier efforts at biometric identification often relied on fingerprints. However,fingerprints can easily be (59) altered____ through cutting, burning or scrapping. Irisscanners are so effective that they can even see through contact lenses and mirroredsunglasses. Use of iris scanners would provide great advantages to the police. However,others worry about a loss of (60) ____.almost ceaselessly for years on end while at the same time spreading out to provide ground coveror a low hedge.PansiesPansies have a good long flowering season year after year, and some varieties can be sown inspring to give truly splendid results the first autumn. Unlike dahlias and lupins, which can easilygrow a meter tall, pansies grow no higher than 10 or 20 cm. Their soil, position and moisturerequirements are just like those of busy lizzies but pansies differ in being hardy. Give them a try!Questions 61-63Decide whether the following statements are true (T) or false (F) according to the passage.61. Both dahlias and lupins, which are sown in April, need protecting from frost.62. Brought indoors in autumn, dahlias, busy lizzies and potentillas will carry on flowering almostnon-stop.63. Among all the flowers busy lizzies are not very easy to grow from seed.Section C (10 marks)Questions 66-70 are based on the following passage.When looking for love, people may go to some extreme lengths. They might go on blinddates set up by family and friends. They might write personal ads to place in newspapers. Or theymight use a computer to help them in their search for a soul mate by joining an online datingservices. Some people have even tried to find their perfect match through game shows ontelevision. Many of these TV dating shows, including The Bachelor and Who Wants to Marry aMillionaire? have proved to be ratings blockbusters, with millions of viewers watching each weekto find out which of the contestants will find true love.Of all these game shows, perhaps the one with the most unexpected ending was Mr. Right,which was shown in England in 2002. On the show, a bachelor, thirty-five-year-old LanceGerrard-Wright, dated fifteen women to find the one who was his ideal partner. The host of theshow was Ulrika Johnson, an English celerity originally from Sweden. For seven weeks on theshow, Gerrard-Wright took turns going on dates with each of the women, taking them to expensiverestaurants and exotic locations. He even met the women’s families and introduced them to his own. Then at the end of each episode, he would choose between one and three of the contestantswith whom he had felt the least compatible, and say goodbye to them.At one point during the series, one contestant volunteered to leave because she said she didnfind him attractive. After two dates she said she had had enough, and she couldn’t see it working.―He wasn’t my cup of tea.‖ In another episode the woman he was on a date with burst into tearswhen he called her by another contestant’s name. ―You called me by another girl’s name. I believe you did that. I really liked you,‖ she sobbed.But in the final episode, the woman he eventually chose decided she didn’t want to marry him after all. ―I think you’ve chosen me because you have to choose someone,‖ she said. Ma this was because she already knew he had fallen in love---with the show’s host!After leaving the show, Gerrard-Wright and Johnson were seen dining together and attendingparties around London more and more often. Finally, on May 1, 2003, Gerrard-Wright proposed toJohnson on the steps of St. Paul’s Cathedral. And she accepted his proposal right away, although itwas a conditional acceptance. Johnson has two children from previous relationships—aneight-year-old son, Cameron, and a two-year-old daughter, Bo. She had to make sure that theyagreed to the marriage. Luckily, they did.

Since the 1950s, it is estimated that as much as 15percent of Alaska’s area has disappeared. But how can a whole state be disappearing?o one One reason for Alaska’s gradual disappearance is the melting its glaciers. According tgeologist at the US Geological Survey, about 98 percent of Alaska’s glaciers are either unmoving or diminishing. This diminishing seems mainly due to the increase in global temperatures. Sincethe 1960s, the average year-round temperature has increased by 5℉. Furthermore, the averagewinter temperature has increased by 8℉. Presently, an estimated 24 cubic miles of ice isdisappearing from Alaskan glaciers every year. It may be even more in the near future, as somescientists predict that the average world temperature could go up 2.5 to 10℉by the year 2010.Much Another problem contributing to Alaska’s gradual disappearance is its permafrost. (74)of the land in Alaska was permanently frozen, or frozen for most of the year, thus maintaining itsintegrity. Now, the thawing permafrost is causing a number of problems on land. Roads and utilitypoles are collapsing. Also, the hard permafrost which originally prevented beaches from erodingduring violent storms is now melting. Affected villages are forced to relocate. For villages onsmall low islands, one terrible storm could wipe out the entire community.The melting permafrost and increasing temperature are also having a negative impact on theforests of Alaska. As the permafrost under the forests melts, in sects that normally don’t turn upuntil the warmer seasons are appearing sooner. The spruce-bark beetle, for example, is increasingin numbers as a result of global warming. It usually takes about two years for these beetles togrow and reproduce in a very cold weather. However, due to the increase in temperatures,spruce-bark beetles are damaging as many trees in one year as they previously damaged in two. Atthis rate, Alaska’s forest won’t survive the turn of the century.Some scientists believe that human activity is linked to a global increase in weathertemperature. Whether the rising temperature are caused by human activity or natural changes, thefact remains that Alaska is warming. Some others argue that global warming may be a normalOne theory argues that we are near the end of atrend on the Earth’s temperature chart. (75)so-called ―Little Ice Age‖, and the return of the glaciers is natural result of this cycle. Whethernatural or produced by humans, there is little hope for the immediate future of glaciers as we knowthem. Horribly, this could be a preview of what will happen to the rest of the world in the nextcentury.Questions 71-73Answer the following questions briefly according to the passage.71. What are disappearing in Alaska actually?72. How much ice is melting each year according to the survey?73. Why do insects damage more trees than before?Questions 74-75Translate the underlined sentences in the passage into Chinese.74. Much of the land in Alaska was permanently frozen, or frozen for most of the year, thusmaintaining its integrity75. One theory argues that we are near the end of a so-called ―Little Ice Age‖, and the return of theglaciers is natural result of this cycle. Whether natural or produced by humans, there is little hopefor the immediate future of glaciers as we know them.Part V Translation (10 marks)Translate the following sentences into English, using the hints given in brackets.
