Reading Comprehension. (2 points for each, altogether 30 points)Directions: There are three passages followed by questions. Beneath each question there are four choices respectively marked by letters A, B, C and D. Choose the right answer for each question. Write your answers on the answer sheet.Passage 1Billy is 14 years old and in the ninth grade. He has a part-time job which gets him up every morning at 5 o'clock. He is a newspaper boy. Each morning ，Billy leaves the house at 5:15 to go to the corner ，where the newspapers are. The newspapers are delivered to the corner by truck at midnight. He always takes a wagon to carry them.In the winter, it is still dark when he gets up ，but during the rest of the year it is light. Billy must deliver the newspapers to the houses of people on his route in all kinds of weather. He tries to put each paper on the porch(门廊)where it will be protected from wind and rain or snow. His customers think he does a good job. Sometimes they give him tips(小费).Billy earns about $ 70 per month ，and he is saving some of the money to go to college. He spends the rest on records and clothes. Once a month ，he has to collect money from his customers. Since many of them work during the day ，Billy has to collect the money at night. Sometimes ，when Billy is sick ，his brother has to deliver the newspapers. Once ，Billy's father had to help. Billy has seventy customers now ，but he hopes to get more soon. Someday ，if he gets more customers ，Billy might win a prize for being an outstanding(突出的)newspaper boy. He wants to win a trip to Europe ，but he will be happy if he wins a new bicycle. 31. Keeping a part-time job tells us that Billy ______. [A] has to make a living by himself[B] can not get any support from his family [C] has to pay for his school tuition [D] is independent and self-confident 32. He did his work ______. [A] perfectly well [B] twice a week [C] only for fun [D] to support his family 33. To deliver newspapers means ______. [A] to post newspapers [B] to send newspapers [C] to sell newspapers [D] None of the above. 34. One of the purposes of delivering newspapers is ______. [A] to get some money for college education[A] for [B] to [C] in [D] with [A] without [B] in [C] after [D] with [A] little [B] spare [C] full [D] us [A] away [B] up [C] out [D] to [A] belongs [B] will belong [C] has belonged [D] had belonged [A] choice [B] life [C] moments [D] time [A] movie [B] program [C] opera [D] music [A] at [B] beside [C] near [D] by [A] for [B] since [C] unless [D] providing [A] on [B] at [C] in [D] during[C] to have more customers[D] None of the above.35. The prize for an outstanding newspaper boy is ______.[A] a trip to Europe [B] a new bicycle[C] a tip [D] A or BPassage 2Friends or contemporaries(同龄人)are a great influence on the actions，thoughts，and words of young people. This influence，known as peer pressure，is quite common among children. Why are children so easily affected by what their peers do，think，or say?Most of us，children included，feel a strong need to be liked by others. We seek acceptance and friendship. In order to gain them，we act like our friends，and listen to their advice，whether or not it is helpful. Some of us even begin to think like our friends，sometimes at the expense of our own beliefs and values. An example that comes to mind is the young person who gets involved with drugs because his peer group is experimenting with them. Parents may try to exert pressure to keep him away from drugs，but frequently peer pressure is too great. This conflict between being your own person and，at the same time，responding to the pressures of a group remains a problem for young people.36. The passage mainly talks about _____.[A] friendship[B] peer pressure[C] conflicts between young people and their parents[D] problems for young people37. In the third sentence of the second paragraph，"them" refers to _____.[A] children[B] strong needs to be liked by others[C] acceptance and friendship[D] our friends' advice38. "being your own person” in the last sentence most probably means _____.[A] acting according to your own beliefs and values[B] trying not to tell any lie[C] keeping yourself away from drugs[D] having enough self-confidence39. The second paragraph focuses on _____.[A] what peer pressure is[B] how young people start to take drugs[C] what parents should do for their children[D] why young people are easily influenced by their peers40. Who can influence us on the actions, thoughts? _____.[A] Teacher[B] Father[C] Mother[D] Friends and contemporariesPassage 3Background music may seem harmless，but it can have a powerful effect on those who hear it. Recorded background music first found its way into factories，shops and restaurants in the US. But it soon spread to other parts ofTo begin with，"muzak"（音乐广播网）was intended simply to create a soothing atmosphere. Recently，however，it's become big business - thanks in part to recent research. Dr. Ronald Milliman，an American marketing expert，has shown that music can boost(促进)sales or increase factory production by as much as a third.But，it has to be light music. A fast one has no effect at all on sales. Slow music can increase receipts by 38%. This is probably because shoppers slow down and have more opportunity to spot items they like to buy. Yet，slow music isn't always answer. liman found，for example，that in restaurants slow music meant customers took longer to eat their meals，which reduced overall sales. So restaurant owners might be well advised to play up-tempo music to keep the customers moving - unless of course，the resulting indigestion leads to complaints！41. The reason why background music is so popular is that ______.[A] it is harmless everywhere[B] it can boost sales in all places[C] it can help to create a soothing atmosphere[D] it can help to have more meals42. Background music means ______.[A] light music[B] slow music[C] fast music[D] the music you are listening to while you are doing something43. Restaurant owners complain about background music because ______.[A] it results in indigestion [B] it keeps customers moving[C] it increases their sales [D] it decreases their sales44. The word "up-tempo music"(para. 3 the last line but two) probably means ______.[A] slow music [B] light music[C] fast music [D] classical music45. According to this passage, we learned that ______[A] Dr. Milliman made background music.[B] background music spread to the world by Dr. Milliman.[C] Dr. Milliman found fast music meant customers took longer to eat.[D] background music can have a powerful effect on some people.IV. Translation. (2 points for each, altogether 10 points)Directions:There are five sentences followed by the translated versions in this section. Beneath each sentence there are four choices respectively marked by letters A, B, C and D. Choose the right translation for each sentence. Write your answers on the answer sheet.46.战争已经威胁了这些人们几十年，他们似乎已学会接受这一现实了。

You are awake and out of bed.Hiroyuki make his bed because he wanted to win a contest. He w orks for Honda Motor Company. Once every two years, Honda has a con test —the “All Honda Idea Contest”.

In 1973, over 500 organizations had adopted the idea, and by 1974, its number had risen to over 200,000.Flexible working hours were invented in Germany in the late 196 0s but reached Britain only in 1972. The system allows workers to s tart and finish work whenever they want, with only two requirements. These are, firstly, that all workers must be present for certain“k ey”times in the day and secondly, that all workers must work an a greed total number of hours per week.The system has proved an almost total success wherever it has been tried. A survey of 700 workers on flexible hours showed three main advantages: a better balance between working and private life, a voidance of the need to travel during rush hours, and the ability t o be able to finish a certain task before leaving.From the employers’point of view, the system tends to increase productivity, reduce labor turnover and give the workera greater s ense of duty.11.According to the passage, the _________invented the “flexible working hours”.A. JapaneseB. AmericansC. GermansD. British12. The phrase “catch on”(in Para. 1) most probably means________ _.A. understandB. become popularC. perceiveD. seize13.

Which one is NOT an advantage of “flextime”for employers?A. A better balance between working and private life.B. It reduces labor turnover.C. It gives the workers a greater sense of duty.D. It tends to increase productivity.15. The author _________“flextime”according to the passage.A. supportsB. is againstC. criticizesD. hatesPassage 3Human beings, however, have something that no animal has. Human beings have the ability to express their actions, feelings and ideas through words. They can also write words down in order to communicat e past events and to send messages to people far away.Even though some birds have learned to repeat words, they d o not understand the meaning of the words, and therefore they cannot use them to communicate ideas.How did man first learn to speak? Perhaps we shall never k now. However, we do know t hat as man’s knowledge increased he needed to use more sounds in order to express a greater number of feelin gs and ideas. It became necessary for him to communicate about a gr eater number of things. He began to make more and more different so unds, and gradually he put these sounds together to form, first, wor ds, then groups of words, and then sentences. In different parts of t he world, people developed their own systems of sounds and words. To day, we call these systems ”languages”.There are now about five thousand different languages and di alects in the world, and each of them contains many thousands of wo rds.16. Why can’t some birds use words to communicate ideas though they have learned to repeat them?A. Because they don’t understand the meaning of the words.B. Because they cannot put them into sentences.C. Because they cannot remember them.D. Because they don’t often use them.17. How did human beings first learn languages?A. Maybe nobody will know.B. Surely we’ll know later.C. Certainly nobody knows.D. Perhaps we have known.18. Why did man need to use more sounds as man’s knowledge increase d?A. In order to form words.B. In order to communicate about more things.C. In order to develop a language.D. In order to sing songs.19. What are languages?A. They are sounds.B. They are w ords.C. They are systems of sounds and words.D. They are letters.20. How many languages are there in the world?A. 15, 000.B. 5,000.C. 500.D. 50,000. Passage 4Thomas Alva Edison was awarded more patents on inventions than any other American. When he died in 1931, Americans wondered how the y could best show their respect for him.One suggestion was that the nation observe a minute or two of total blackout. All electric power would be shut off in homes, stree ts, and factories.Perhaps this suggested plan made Americans realized fully what Ed ison and his inventions meant to them. Electric power was too import ant to the country. Shutting it off for even a short time would ha ve led to complete confusion. A blackout was out of the question. On the day of Edision’s funeral, many people silently dimmed their l ights. In this way they honored the man who had done more than any one else to put the great force of electricity at his countrymen’s fingertips.21.

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A.B. C. and D. You should decide on the best.Passage 1.Ever since human beings have inhabited the earth, they have made use of various forms of communication. Generally, this expression of thoughts and feelings has beenin the form of oral speech. When there is a language barrier, communication is accomplished through sign language in which motions stand for letters, words, and ideas. Tourists, the deaf, and the mute have had to resort to this form of expression. Many of these symbols of whole words are very picturesque and exact and can be used internationally, spelling, however, cannot.Body language transmits ideas or thoughts by certain actions, either intentionally or unintentionally. A wink can be a way of flirting or indicating that the party is only joking. A nod signifies approval, while shaking the head indicates a negative reaction.Other forms nonlinguistic language can be found in Braille (a system of raised dots read with the fingertips), signal flags, Morse code, and smoke signals. Road maps and picture signs also guide, warn, and instruct people.While verbalization is the most common form of language, other systems and techniques also express human thoughts and feelings.1.Which of the following best summarizes this passage?A.When language is a barrier, people will find other forms of communication.B.Everybody uses only one form of communication.C.Nonlinguistic language is invaluable to foreigners.D.Although other forms of communication exist, verbalization is the fastest.2.Which of the following statements is not true?A.There are many forms of communication in existence today.B.Verbalization is the most common form of communication.C.The deaf and mute use an oral form of communication.D.Ideas and thoughts can be transmitted by body language.3.Which form other than oral speech would be most commonly used among blindpeople?A. picture signsB. BrailleC. body languageD. signal flags4.How many different forms of communication are mentioned in the passage?A. 5B. 7C. 9D. 115.Sign language is said to be very picturesque and exact and can be usedinternationally except for ________.A. spelling C. whole wordsB. ideas D. expressionsPassage 2Some psychologists maintain that mental acts such as thinking are not performed in the brain alone, but that one’s muscles also participate. It may be sai d that we think with our muscles in somewhat the same way that we listen to music with our bodies.You surely are not surprised to be told that you usually listen to music not only with your ears but with your whole body. Few people can listen to music that is more or less familiar without moving their body or, more specifically, some part of their body. Often when one listens to a symphony concert on the radio, he is tempted to direct the orchestra (交响乐) even though he knows that there is a competent conductor on the job.Strange as this behavior may be, there is a very good reason for it. One cannot derive all possible enjoyment form music unless he participates, so to speak, in its performance. The listener “feels” himself into the music with more or less pronounced motions of his body.The muscles of the body actually participate in the mental process of thinking in the same way but this participation is less obvious because it is less pronounced.6.The process of thinking and that of listening are similar in that ________A.both are mental actsB.muscles participate in both processesC.both processes are performed by the entire bodyD.we derive equal enjoyment form them7.The pronounced body motions are a listener’s way of ________A.“feeling” the musicB.participating in the performanceC.deriving enjoyment from the musicD.all of the above8.Body movements are necessary in order for the listener to ________.A.hear the musicB.appreciate the musicC.enjoy the music fullypletely understand the music9.According to the passage, muscle participation in the process of thinking is________.A.deliberateB.obviousC.not really apparentD.very pronounced10.The best title for this passage is ________.A.an Ear for MusicB.Music AppreciationC.How Muscles Participate in Mental ActsD. A Psychological Definition of the Thinking ProcessPassage 3A computer is a machine designed to perform work mathematically and to store and select information that has been fed into it. It is run by either mechanical or electronic means. These machines can do a great deal of complicated work in a very short time.A large computer, for example, can add or subtract nine thousand times a second, multiply a thousand times a second, or divide five hundred times a second. Its percentage of error is about one in a billion digits. It has been estimated that human beings making calculations average about one mistake per two hundred digits.The heart of an electronic computer lies in its vacuum tubes, or transistors. Its electronic circuits work a thousand times faster than the nerve cells in the human brain. A problem that might take a human being two years to solve can be solved by a computer in one minute, but in order to work properly, a computer must be given instructions—it must be programmedComputers can be designed for many specialized purposes—they can be used to prepare payrolls (工资单), guide airplane flights, direct traffic, even to play chess. Computers play an essential role in modern automation in many plants and factories throughout the world.puters are valuable to industry because they ________.A.perform rapidlyB.detect errors in human calculations quicklyC.can solve all mathematical problemsD.eliminate mathematical errors from calculations12.The speed with which an electronic computer works depends on its ________.A.electronic circuitsB.vacuum tubes, or transistorsC.programmerD.instructions13.The passage says that computers play an essential role in ________.A.automation processesB.mathematical computationsC.traffic controlD.the development of mathematical theory14.The use of computers for specialized purposes depends on the ________.A.design of the computerB.power used to operate the computerC.difficulty of the mathematical calculations involvedD.the ability of the programmer15.The passage implies that human beings differ from computers in that they________.A.make fewer errorsB.do not have to be programmedC.work more quicklyD.understand their instructionsPassage 4In the earliest stages of man’s development he had no more need of money than animals have. He was content with very simple forms of shelter, made his own rough tools and weapons and provided food and clothing for him and his family from natural materials around him. As he became more civilized, however, he began to want better shelter, more efficient tools and weapons, and more comfortable and lasting clothing than could be provided by his own neighborhood or by the work of his own unskilled hands. For these things he had to turn to the skilled people such as smiths, leather workers or carpenters who were springing up everywhere. It was then that the questions of payment arose.At first he got what he wanted by a simple process of exchange. The smith who had not the time to look after land or cattle was glad to take meat or grain from the farmer in exchange for an ax or a plough. But as more and more goods which had not fixed exchange value came on the market, exchange became too complicated to be satisfactory. Another problem arose when those who made things wanted to get stocks of wood or leather, or iron, but had nothing to offer in exchange until their finished goods were ready.Thus the difficulties of exchange led by degrees to the invention of money. In some countries, easily handled things like seeds or shells were given a certain value and the farmer, instead of paying the smith for a new ax by giving him some meat or grain, gave him so many shells. If the smith had any shells left when he had bought his food, he could get stocks of the raw materials of his trade. In some countries quite large things such as cows or camels or even big flat stones were used for trade. Later, pieces of metal, bearing values according to the rarity of the metal and the size of the pieces, or coins were used. Money as we know it had arrived.16.Why were early men content with simple life?A.They did not have money.B.They had no better tools than their rough ones.C.They could provide food and clothing and simple shelter for themselves.D.They had been civilized.17.As men became more civilized they ________.A.all learnt to make what they wanted themselvesB.had to travel a lot to look for what they wantedC.got things from other people who knew how to make them betterD.found everything more expensive18.The simple process of exchange _________.A.only made things more complicatedB.was not at all satisfactoryC.could not easily fix exchange valueD.provided everyone with everything he needed19.The phrase “by degrees” means _________.A.naturallyB.slowlyC.step by stepD.quickly20.Money was not use until ________.A.an urgent need for it was feltB. a simple process of exchange came to be practicedC.nothing could be offered in exchangeD.the exchange of one thing for another became too complicated。

Each passage is followed by five questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice.Passage oneRites of PassageSuddenly there come times when everything is different —you’re somehowanother personSeveral years ago my parents, my wife, my son, and I ate at one of those restaurants where the menu is written on a blackboard. After a wonderful dinner, the waiter set the bill in the middle of the table. That’s when it happened: my father did not reach for the bill.Conversation continued. Finally it dawned on me. I was supposed to pick up the bill! After hundreds of restaurant meal with my parents, after a lifetime of thinking of my father as the one who had the money, it had all changed. I reached for the check, and my view of myself was suddenly altered. I was an adult.Some people mark off their lives in years; I measure mine in small events —in rites of passage. I did not become a young man at a particular age, like 13, but rather when a kid walked into the store where I worked and called me “mister”. He repeated it several times, looking straight at me. The realization hit like a punch: Me! I was suddenly a mister.There have been other milestones. The cops of my youth always seemed big, even huge, and of course they were older than I was. Then one day they were suddenly neither. In fact, some were kids —short kids at that. The day came when I suddenly realized that all the football player in the game I was watching were younger than I was. They were just big kids. With that milestone went the dream that someday, maybe, I too could be a football player. Without ever having reached the hill, I was over it.I never thought that I would fall asleep in front of the television set as my father did. Now it’s what I do best. I never thought that I would go to t he beach and notswim. Yet I spent all of August at the seaside and never once went into the ocean. I never thought that I would like opera, but now the sadness and combination of voice and orchestra appeal to me. I never thought that I would prefer to stay home evenings, but now I find myself passing up parties. I used to think that people who watched birds were strange, but this summer I found myself watching them, and maybe I’ll get a book on the subject. I long for a religious conviction that I never th ought I’d want, and in arguments with my son, I repeat what my father used to say to me. I still lose.One day I bought a house. One day —what a day! — I became a father, and not too long after that I picked up the bill for my own father. I thought then it was a rite of passage for me. But one day, when I was a little older, I realized it was one for him too. Another milestone.1.When the young man picked up the bill and paid it, ____.A)he felt that his father should have paid itB)he was glad to have the chance pay the bill for onceC)he realized he was now an adultD)his father said he would pay it as he usually did so2.The man marked off his life not by the passing years but by _____.A)comparing himself with other peopleB)certain meaningful eventsC)counting the milestones of his lifeD)recalling events of the past3.When the writer was young, _____.A) he looked forward to the day when he would be like his fatherB)it seemed to him that the policeman were big and tallC)he felt bird watching was an interesting hobbyD)he couldn’t understand why his father fell asleep while watching TV4.Why didn’t the writer go swimming while he was at the beach in August?A)Because he liked going to the opera.B)Because he preferred to watch birds.C)Because he was not young anymore.D)Because he did not know how to swim.5.When the writer argued with his son, ____.A)he used the same reasons as his father didB)he always succeeded in winning the argumentsC)he sometimes managed to persuade his son to agree with himD)he seldom succeeded in winningPassage twoThe verb procrastinate comes from the Latin procrastinate, which means to postpone until tomorrow. To procrastinate, then, is to delay doing something until some future time, and a procrastinator is someone who is always putting off what he or she should be doing right now.Those of us who have a tendency toward procrastination know that it is a terrible habit. Every day we tell ourselves that we must start doing things immediately, andeach day we postpone our work, are late for deadlines, and put off keeping our promises to other people. Because we are always in the process of procrastinating, we are also always trying to catch up. We are always doing yesterday's jobs today, and tomorrow we will be doing today's unfinished work.Maybe the way to overcome procrastination is to change our habits gradually. We can start with a daily schedule of the things we want or need to accomplish. But let's be reasonable. We shouldn't crowd the list with too many tasks, and we should be realistic about what we can do. Especially in the beginning we should be lenient(宽大的, 仁慈的) with ourselves. After all, if we get discouraged at the start, we will go right back to our old habits.Finally, if we begin to follow our own schedule for each day, we will stop postponing the chores that face us. Life will become far less complicated and each day will be easier to face. We will undoubtedly feel better about ourselves, too, because we will know that we can overcome our weaknesses and improve ourselves.1. The first paragraph tells us _____ of the word procrastinate.A) the originB) the meaningC) the historyD) both A and B2. A procrastinator is a person who always postpones ___work.A) importantB) unimportantC) important or unimportantD) uninteresting3. The first step suggested by the author to change the habit of procrastinating is ___.A) not to fill our plans with too many tasksB) to make a plan for everyday activitiesC) to list as many tasks as possibleD) not to be reasonable with our plan4. Procrastinators do not live a happy life, because___.A) life is complicated and uneasy for them to faceB) they can't choose what to doC) things often become more difficult the next dayD) they will lose interest in doing things5. The author of the passage tries to tell us ___.A) that to be a procrastinator is not easyB) to be procrastinatorsC) that to be a procrastinator is bad for oneselfD) that being a procrastinator is good for othersPassage threeA good reader is one who can read beyond the lines, seeing ideas implied through the words, and one who can bridge the gap between the obvious and the suggested, thus obtaining much more information. Let's look at the following sentence:JOHN HENDERSON WAS DRIVING HOME LATE LAST NIGHT FROM AN EXHAUSTING BUSINESS TRIP.As you might have realized, this is the opening sentence of a story. It tells the reader whom the story is about -- John Henderson, and when the event takes place -- late one night, if we read carefully and thoughtfully we can also infer from this sentence that1. John Henderson may be a businessman because he has just finished a "business trip"2. John Henderson must be very tired because the trip is "exhausting"3. John Henderson must be very eager to get home because he is driving "late" at night right after this exhausting trip.Making inferences while reading will always help us achieve a better comprehension. But we should keep in mind that inferences must be made with care and supported by evidence. In order to make reasonable inferences we should1. read and think beyond the primed words;2. analyze the information given in the text;3. determine the author's reason for his choice of words.1. According to the author, a good reader___.A) can read between the linesB) should have a large vocabularyC) knows enough grammar rulesD) must have a good knowledge of the author2. From the quoted sentence, you know John Henderson was most likely___.A) a sellerB) a man on businessC) a driverD) a traveler3. From the quoted sentence, you know John Henderson had a ___.A) tired tripB) bored tripC) boring tripD) tiring trip4. When the author asks us to make inferences while reading, he intends to say___.A) make guessesB) have imaginationsC) do translationsD) reach conclusions5. The best topic of the passage is ____.A) Reading SkillsB) Try to Be a Good ReaderC) Reading Is ImportantD) Reading Is ThinkingPassage fourMan's first real invention, and one of the most important inventions in history, was the wheel. All transportation and every machine in the world depend on it.(The wheel is the simplest yet perhaps the most remarkable of all inventions, because there are no wheels in nature — no living thing was ever created with wheels.) How, then, did man come to invent the wheel?Perhaps some early hunters found that they could roll the dead body of a heavy animal through the forest on logs more easily than they could carry it. However, the logs themselves weighed a lot.It must have taken a great prehistoric thinker to imagine two thin slices of log connected at their centers by a strong stick. This would roll along just as the logs did yet be much lighter and easier to handle. Thus the wheel and axle came into being, and with them the first carts.1. The wheel is important because _______.A. it was man's first real inventionB. all transportation depends on itC. every machine depends on itD. both B and C2. The wheel is described as _______.A. simpleB. complicatedC. strangeD. light3. It was remarkable of man to invent the wheel because ______.A. it led to many other inventionsB. man had no use for it thenC. there were no wheels in natureD. it was very complicated4. This passage says that the first wheel might have been a _______.A. round piece of stoneB. heavy logC. piece of metalD. slice of log5. The idea of making wheels might have come from ______.A. chasing an animalB. watching a rolling trunkC. watching running animalsD. rolling the dead body of an animal on logsPart III ClozeHave you 1)_____ asked yourself why children go to school? You will probably say that they go 2)_____ their own language and other languages, arithmetic, history, science and 3)_____ subjects. That is quite true; but why do they learn these things?And are these things 4)_____ that they learn at school?We 5)____ our children to school to 6)_____ them for the time 7)_____ they will be big and will have to work 8)_____ themselves.

Yet, slow music isn't alwaysanswer. liman found , for example , that in restaurants slow music meant customers tookIon ger to eat their meals , which reduced overall sales.

The smiles soon faded from their faces, however, when Lyon reported that the earth indicator compass—the most valuable navigational instrument on board—was out of action. They would have to rely on their magnetic steering compasses. Nevertheless, as they settled down to their nocturnal watch, flying at 4,000 feet in perfect weather, they felt happy about the relatively simple journey that lay ahead—but it was a happiness that was all too short-lived.The moon disappeared and the atmosphere gradually grew colder. Strong gusts of wind which rocked the plane were followed by the drumming of torrential rain. Pitching and tossing as they flew on blindly, they circled, climbed and plunged in an attempt to dodge the squalls. Navigation was out of the question. Kingsford Smith, fighting the controls, had but one thought—to keep the Southern Cross airborne. From early evening till the small hours, they were simple fighting to survive, their limbs stiffening, their hands too numb to write. There was no entry in the log from 6.15 p.m to 3.20 a.m.Soon after dawn , they managed to escape from that terrible electric storm and at 7 a.m., Warner picked up a radio beam from Brisbane. With this they altered course, comforted by flying into warmer air. At last they sighted the Australian coast, more than a hundred miles south of their course.36. Which is the destination of the flight?A) Australian coast B) Kingsford-SmithC) Southern Cross D) Brisbane37. What does the passage tell us?A) The story of the great flight.B) The struggle between man and nature.C) The adventures of the great flight.D) The experiences before a perfect landing.38. What kind of conclusion can we draw from the last paragraph but one?A) Pilots are supposed to keep written records of a journey during the flight.B) Pilots should be mentally prepared for all kinds of situations appearing.C) Pilots should listen to the weather report before take-off.D) pilots should wear special overalls so as to keep themselves warm enough.39. “It was a happiness that was all too short –lived.” Why ? Because .A) magnetic steering compasses were out of actionB) the weather did not promiseC) the journey did not turn out as they had expectedD) they met with unfavorable weather condition40 Which disaster comes first during the course of the flight?A) Strong gusts of wind. B) Terrible electric storm.C) Cold atmosphere. D) The earth indicator compass was out of action.Question 41 to 45 are based on the following passage:Is staring at a big, white wall during class making you feel dull? If you have ever walked past math teacher Mr. Kelley's room, you may have noticed how cheerful it is throughout the year. One thing that makes his classroom so much fun is the celebrity (名人) pictures on his front wall.Kelley's students have been writing to celebrities from across the nation asking for a photo and a few words of advice. "It really takes a lot of time and money," Kelley said. First, Kelley and his students make a list of all the celebrities to whom they want to write. Once a student picks a star, Kelley looks them up in his book of addresses to see if he can write to that person.Writing to the stars takes a lot of time because he has to personalize each letter, print them out, and address them. In the letter, Kelley asks the celebrity to send his classes a picture with some advice he or she would give to today's youth.Kelley takes up a collection in all of his classes and asks each student to contribute (捐) dollar to pay for the postage. Once Kelley mails off all the letters, the fun really begins. So far he has gotten back about 20 letters and pictures. "The only thing that isn't cool is when the celebrity sends the picture back with no advice on it, which is my entire purpose in doing this," said Kelley. When he gets at least three pictures returned, he lets his classes guess who the three stars are. He keeps score of how many celebrities each class has guessed. Jason Bryant, a student, said, "It's become a contest(竞赛) between the classes to see who can guess the most stars, and it's really fun."41. Who pays to send out letters?A）Kelley himself B）Kelley's studentsC）The contest organizer D）Jason Bryant42. What is the text about?A）Celebrities sending photos to KelleyB）Celebrities giving advice to studentsC）Kelley and his classes writing to celebritiesD）Kelley inviting celebrities to his classes43. According to Jason Bryant, they find a lot of fun inA）studying math B）reading repliesC）the name-guessing game D）receiving pictures from celebrities44. What is Kelley's main purpose of writing the letters?A）To educate his students B）To have pictures for his office wallC）To improve his students' letter writing skillsD）To help his students know more about the celebrities45. The phrase "to personalize each letter" (Line 1, Para.3 ) means"______".A）to print out each otherB）to personally send out each otherC）to find the address of each celebrityD）to make the letter suitable for a particular starPart ⅢCloseDirections: There are 20 blanks in the following passage. For each blank there are four choices marked A), B), C), D). You should choose the ONE that best fits into the passage.

In my second year the professor who taught the course passed away and I was asked to take over. Then for many years I taught classes for judges, law students, and practicing lawyers throughout the country. After graduation, I got a job as an assistant city attorney. Then I became one of Denver’s youngest judges at the age of 28. Finally, I did return to Boulder---- to receive the University of Colorado’s George Norlin Award.Sooner or later everyone will fall short at something important to them. But failure also taught me that life is a road with unexpected tomorrows. To take advantage of them, you cannot let yourself be destroyed by failure.。

If you fit the statistical averages, by the age of 20 you will have been exposed to at least 20,000 hours of television. You can add 10,000 hours for each decade you have lived after the age of 20. The only things Americans do more than watch television are work and sleep.Calculate for a moment what could be done with even a part of those hours. Five thousand hours, I am told, are what a typical college undergraduate spends working on a bachelor's degree. In 10,000 hours you could have learned enough to become an astronomer or engineer. You could have learned several languages fluently. If it appealed to you, you could be reading Homer in the original Greek or Dostoyevsky in Russian. If it didn't, you could have walked around the world and written a book about it.The trouble with television is that it discourages concentration. Almost anything interesting and rewarding in life requires some constructive, consistently applied effort. The dullest, the least gifted of us can achieve things that seem miraculous to those who never concentrate on anything. But Television encourages us to apply no effort. It sells us instant gratification（满意）. It diverts us only to divert, to make the time pass without pain.Television's variety becomes a narcotic（麻醉的）, nor a stimulus. Its serial, kaleidoscopic （万花筒般的）exposures force us to follow its lead. The viewer is on a perpetual guided tour: 30 minutes at the museum, 30 at the cathedral, 30 for a drink, then back on the bus to the next attraction—except on television., typically, the spans allotted arc on the order of minutes or seconds, and the chosen delights are more often car crashes and people killing one another. In short, a lot of television usurps（篡夺；侵占）one of the most precious of all human gifts, the ability to focus your attention yourself, rather than just passively surrender it.Capturing your attention—and holding it—is the prime motive of most television programming and enhances its role as a profitable advertising vehicle. Programmers live in constant fear of losing anyone's attention—anyone's. The surest way to avoid doing so is to keep everything brief, not to strain the attention of anyone but instead to provide constant stimulation through variety, novelty, action and movement. Quite simply, television operates on the appeal to the short attention span.It is simply the easiest way out. But it has come to be regarded as a given, as inherent in the medium itself; as an imperative, as though General Sarnoff, or one of the other august pioneers of video, had bequeathed（遗留；传于）to us tablets of stone commanding that nothing in televisionshall ever require more than a few moments' Concentration.In its place that is fine. Who can quarrel with a medium that so brilliantly packages escapist entertainment as a mass-marketing tool? But I see its values now pervading this nation and its life. It has become fashionable to think that, like fast food, fast ideas are the way to get to a fast-moving, impatient public.In the case of news, this practice, in my view, results in inefficient communication. I question how much of television's nightly news effort is really absorbable and understandable. Much of it is what has been aptly described as "machine-gunning with scraps." I think the technique fights coherence. I think it tends to make things ultimately boring (unless they are accompanied by horrifying pictures) because almost anything is boring if you know almost nothing about it.I believe that TV's appeal to the short attention span is not only inefficient communication but decivilizing as well. Consider the casual assumptions that television tends to cultivate: that complexity must be avoided, that visual stimulation is a substitute for thought, that verbal precision is an anachronism. It may be old-fashioned, but I was taught that thought is words, arranged in grammatically precise.There is a crisis of literacy in this country. One study estimates that some 30 million adult Americans are "functionally illiterate" and cannot read or write well enough to answer the want ad or understand the instructions on a medicine bottle.Literacy may not be an inalienable human right, but it is one that the highly literate Founding Fathers might not have found unreasonable or even unattainable. We are not only not attaining it as a nation, statistically speaking, but we are falling further and further short of attaining it. And, while I would not be so simplistic as to suggest that television is the cause, I believe it contributes and is an influence.Everything about this nation—the structure of the society, its forms of family organization, its economy, its place in the world—has become more complex, not less. Yet its dominating communications instrument, its principal form of national linkage, is one that sells neat resolutions to human problems that usually have no neat resolutions. It is all symbolized in my mind by the hugely successful art form that television has made central to the culture, the 30-second commercial: the tiny drama of the earnest housewife who finds happiness in choosing the right toothpaste.When before in human history has so much humanity collectively surrendered so much of its leisure to one toy, one mass diversion? When before has virtually an entire nation surrendered itself wholesale to a medium for selling?Some years ago Yale University law professor Charles L. Black. Jr., wrote: "... forced feeding on trivial fare is not itself a trivial matter-" I think this society is being forced-fed with trivial fare, and I fear that the effects on our habits of mind, our language, our tolerance for effort, and our appetite for complexity are only dimly perceived. If I am wrong, we will have done no harm to look at the issue skeptically and critically, to consider how we should be residing it. I hope you will join with me in doing so.1. In America people do sleeping and watching televisions more than anything else.2. From the passage we know the time an average American spends on watching TV could have made the person learn to become an astronomer or engineer.3. The trouble with TV is that it distracts people’s attention and encourages them to make no efforts toward their life.4. TV programmers base this operation on the attraction of long-span attention of audiences.5. According to the author the improper television operation in American society will be likely to make things eventually boring.6. Americans will face a serious problem of illiteracy due to the negative impact of TV.7. In American society literacy is a certain right that cannot be deprived.Part ⅢListening Comprehension (35 minutes)Section ADirections: In this section, you will hear 8 short conversations and 2 long conversations.

Boys and girls are given the 47 to get to know each other, to learn to live together from their earliest years. They are put in a position where they can compare themselves with each other in terms of 48 ability, athletic achievement and many of the extracurricular activities which are part of school life. What a practical 49 it is (to give just a small example) to be able to put on a school play in which the male parts will be taken by boys and the female parts by girls! What nonsense coeducation makes of the argument that boys are cleverer than girls or vice versa. When 50 , boys and girls are made to feel that they are a race apart. In a coeducational school, everything falls into its 51 place.The greatest contribution of coeducation is 52 the healthy attitude to life it encourages. Boys don’t grow up believing that women are 53 creatures. Girls don’t grow up imagining that men are romantic heroes. Years of living together at school remove illusions of this kind. The awkward stage of adolescence brings into sharp focus some of the physical and 54 problems involved in growing up. These can better be 55 in a coeducational environment. When the time comes for the pupils to leave school, they are fully prepared to 56 society as well-adjusted adults. They have already had years of experience in coping with many of the problems that face men and women.A）advantageB）properC）rewardedD）emotionalE）opportunityF）activityG）overcomeH）academicI）enterJ）mysteriousK）eventuallyL）segregatedM）undoubtedlyN）principleO）advocateSection BDirections：There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the center.Passage OneQuestions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.Romantic love is a culture trait found primarily in industrialized societies. Elsewhere in the world, pragmatic considerations rather than flights of fancy are often used to make a choice of partner, and romantic love is seen as an unfortunate inconvenience that gets in the way of the ordinary, rational process of mate selection. Traces of this attitude persist in the American upper classes, where daughters are expected to marry “well”-----that is, to a male who is eligible by reason of family background and earning potential. Most Americans, however, see romantic love as essential for a successful marriage, and tend to look askance（轻蔑地）at anyone who marries for a more practical reason in which love plays no part.The phenomenon of romantic love occurs when two young people meet and find one another personally and physically attractive. They become mutually absorbed, start to behave in what appears to be a flighty（充满幻想的）, even irrational manner, decide that they are right for one another, and may then enter a marriage whose success is expected to be guaranteed by their enduring love. Behavior of this kind is portrayed and warmly endorsed（赞同）throughout American popular culture, by books, magazines, comics, records, popular songs, movies, and TV. Romantic love is a noble ideal, and it can certainly provide a basis for the spouses to “live happily ever after.” But a marriage can equally well be founded on much more practical considerations”----as indeed they have been in most societies throughout most of history. Why is romantic love of such importance in the modern world? The reason seems to be that it has some basic functions in maintaining the institution of the nuclear family（小家庭）.57. Romantic love is less frequently found in many non-industrial societies because people in these societies_______.A ) firmly believe that only money can make the world go roundB ) fail to bring the imaginative power of the mind into full playC ) fondly think that flights of fancy prevent them from making a correct choice of partnerD ) have far more practical considerations to determine who will marry whom58. The word eligible (in Line5, Para. l), could best be replaced by ____.A ) qualifiedB ) availableC ) chosenD ) influential59. According to the passage, most Americans _____.A) expect their daughters to fall in love with a male at first sightB) regard romantic love as the basis for a successful marriageC) look up to those who marry for the sake of wealthD) consider romantic love to be the most desirable thing in the world60. What can we learn from the second paragraph about romantic love?A) It is a common occurrence among the old.B) It is primarily depicted by books.C) It is characterized by mutual attraction and absorption.D) It is rejected as flighty and irrational.61. The author seems to believe that ___________A) romantic love makes people unable to think clearly in the process of mate selectionB) only romantic love can make a marriage happy ever afterC) much more practical considerations can also be the basis for a successful marriageD) romantic love plays an insignificant role in maintaining the institution of the nuclear family Passage TwoQuestions 62 to 66 are based on the following passage.The French word renaissance means rebirth. It was first used in 1855 by the historian Jules Michelet in his History of France, then adopted by historians of culture, by art historians, and eventually by music historians, all of whom applied it to European culture during the 150 years spanning 1450-1600. The concept of rebirth was appropriate to this period of European history because of the renewed interest in ancient Greek and Roman culture that began in Italy and then spread throughout Europe. Scholars and artists of this period wanted to restore the learning and ideals of the classical civilizations of Greece and Rome. To these scholars this meant a return to human. Fulfillment in life became a desirable goal, and expressing the entire range of human emotions and enjoying the pleasures of the senses were no longer frowned on. Artists and writers now turned to religious subject matter and sought to make their works understandable and appealing.These changes in outlook deeply affected the musical culture of the Renaissance period --- how people thought about music as well as the way music was composed and experienced. They could see the architectural monuments, sculptures, plays, and poems that were being rediscovered, but they could not actually hear ancient music --- although they could read the writings of classical philosophers, poets, essayists, and music theorists that were becoming available in translation. They learned about the power of ancient music to move the listener and wondered why modern music did not have the same effect. For example, the influential religious leader Bernardino Cirillo expressed disappointment with the learned music of his time. He urged musicians to follow the example of the sculptors, painters, architects, and scholars who had rediscovered ancient art and literature.The musical Renaissance in Europe was more a general cultural movement and state of mind thana specific set of musical techniques. Furthermore, music changed so rapidly during this century and a half-though at different rates in different countries---that we cannot define a single Renaissance style.62. What does the author mean by using the word “eventually” in line 3?A) That music historians used the term “Renaissance” after the other historians didB) That most music historians used the term “Renaissance”C) The term “Renaissance” became widely used by art historians but not by music historiansD) That music historians used the term “Renaissance” very d ifferently than it had been used by Jules Michelet63. The phrase "frowned on" in line 9 is closest in meaning toA) given upB) forgotten aboutC) argued aboutD) disapproved of64. It can be inferred from the passage that thinkers of the Renaissance were seeking a rebirth ofA) communication among artists across EuropeB) spirituality in everyday lifeC) a cultural emphasis on human valuesD) religious themes in art that would accompany the traditional secular themes65. According to the passage, why was Bemardino Cirillo disappointed with the music of his time?A) It was not complex enough to appeal to musicians.B) It had little emotional impact on audiences.C) It was too dependent on the art and literature of his time.D) It did not contain enough religious themes.66. Which of the following is mentioned in the passage as a reason for the absence of a single Renaissance musical style?A) The musical Renaissance was defined by technique rather than style.B) The musical Renaissance was too short to give rise to a new musical style.C) Renaissance musicians adopted the styles of both Greek and Roman musicians.D) During the Renaissance, music never remained the same for very long.Part V Cloze(15 minutes)Directions: There are 20 blanks in the following passage. For each blank there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D) on the right side of the paper. You should choose the ONE that best fits into the passage. Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.Today the world's economy is going through two great changes, both bigger than an Asian financial crisis here or a European monetary union there.The first change is that a lot of industrial_67_is moving from the United States, Western Europe and Japan to _68 _countries in Latin America, South-East Asia and Eastern Europe.

Today, more and more college students are using Internet for their routine life and study. Net-surfing has become an important part of campus life and greatly enriched the students’ life.Some students, however, spend too much time on Internet. Sometimes they would be completely indulged in the virtual Internet world. Whenever they find a “cozy” place in a stuffy net bar they would play computer games or chat on-line day and night, forgetting the passing of time. Worsestill, some students even become addicted to visit the pornographic websites or play computer games that are full of violence. This, certainly, does great harm to both their health and their study. There is no denying that Internet has enriched young people’s life. But once a student becomes too indulged in the virtual Internet world the student’s normal life will be impacted, an d even spoiled. As youngsters, we should tell right from wrong. We should try to limit the net-surfing time to a reasonable amount and refuse to visit those websites which are established only to lure young people with the content of sex and violence. Only in this way can we truly establish and maintain a colorful Internet world.Part II Fast Reading1-7 N Y Y N Y NG N8. arranged in grammatically precise9. become more complex, not less10. only dimly perceivedPart III Listening ComprehensionSection A11.

(2 point for each, altogether 30 points) Directions: There are three passages followed by questions. Beneath each question there are four choices respectively marked by letters A, B, C and D. Choose the right answer for each question. Write your answers on the answer sheet.Passage 1Some people think they have an answer to the troubles of automobile crowding and dirty air in large cities. Their answer is bicycle，or "bike".In a great many cities，hundreds of people ride bicycles to work every day. In New York City，some bike riders have even formed a group called Bike for a Better City. They claim that if more people rode bicycles to work there would be fewer automobiles in the downtown section of the city and therefore less dirty air from car engines.For several years this group has been trying to get the city government to help bicycle riders. For example，they want the city to draw special lanes - for bicycles only -on some of the main streets，because when bicycle riders must use the same lanes as cars，there are accidents. Bike for a Better City feels that if there were special lanes，more people would use bikes.But no bicycle lanes have been drawn. Not everyone thinks it is a good idea. T axi drivers don't like the idea - they say it will slow traffic. Some store owners on the main streets don't like theidea - they say that if there is less traffic，they will have less business. And more people live too far from downtown to travel by bike.The city government has not yet decided what to do. It wants to keep everyone happy. On weekends，Central Park - the largest piece of open ground in New York - is closed to cars，and the roads may be used by bicycles only.

He remained in this army for a period of seven years. After that he joined the navy. His unit was stationed at Woolwich；and the public house he frequently visited was kept by Mrs. Browning，a widow. He formed an idea that his attentions were not disagreeable to Mrs. Browning，and repeatedly asked her to marry him. It does not appear that she totally ignored his advances；but Carroll often got drunk and behaved in such a manner towards her as to cause her displeasure. She refused any longer to listen to his courtship.On Sunday，the 26th of April，1835，he went to the public house and found that Mrs. Browning had some friends to tea，but he was not invited. Some angry words were exchanged between them，and he was forced to leave the house. The next morning he returned，and demanded that he be permitted to say a few words to Mrs. Browning in private(私下). This was refused. Nevertheless，he entered the bar where she was and，after having repeatedly struck her with his hand，he drew his sword and stabbed her.36．By the time he joined the navy, Patrick Carroll was__B_____ years old.[A] twenty-two[B] twenty-nine[C] twenty-seven[D] thirty-seven37．"Be stationed at" in Line 3，Para.1 most probably means __A_____.[A] "be put in a place to perform some duty"[B] "to reach a shopping place"[C] "to give a position to"[D] "to arrive at the station"38．The word "public house" in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to __C_____.[A] "hotel"[B] "house for public use"[C] "bar"[D] "school"39．The word "courtship" in Line 7，Para.1 most probably means__ A _____.[A] "the act of trying to win a woman's affections"[B] "wild speeches"[C] "stupid talks"[D] "witty remarks"40．From the passage，we can infer that Mrs. Browning might marry Carroll ___D____.[A] if the latter was invited to tea[B] if the latter was not forced to leave the house[C] if the latter did not stab her to death[D] ' if the latter's behavior pleased herPassage 3In the United States, it is not customary to telephone someone very early in the morning. If you telephone him early in the day, while he is shaving or having breakfast, the time of the call shows that the matter is very important and requires immediate attention. The same meaning is attached to telephone calls made after 11:00pm. If someone receives a call during sleeping hours, he assumes it is a matter of life or death. The time chosen for the call communicates its importance.If a late telephone call is regarded in the United States as a cause for concern, imagine the excitement and fear caused by a crowd of people arriving at the door at 2:00pm. On an island in the south Pacific, a plant manager from the United States had just such an experience. The natives of the island met one night to discuss a problem. When they arrived at a solution, they went to see the plant manager and woke him up to tell him what had been decided. Unfortunately, they did not know that it is a very serious matter to wake up Americans at such an hour. The plant manager, who did not understand the local culture, thought there was a fight and called the police. It never occurred to him(or to the natives)that parts of the day have different meanings in different cultures.41．According to the U.S. custom, what does a very early telephone call mean to an American? ___C____[A] Very impolite．[B] Not usual．[C] V ery urgent．[D] Not necessary. 42．At which of the following hours is a phone call NOT regarded as of primary importance? ____A___[A]11：00am．[B] 11：30pm．[C] 5：00am．[D] 12：00pm. 43．Why did the natives go to the plant manager's home and wake him up? __B_____[A] To have a talk with him．[B] To inform him of their decision.[C] To discuss a problem with him．[D] To tell him a problem they met with.44．What was the manager's immediate reaction to the natives' arrival? ___D____[A] He thought the natives were mad.[B] He didn't take it seriously.[C] He called in a policeman to talk with the natives.[D] He believed there was a fight and called the police at once.45．What is most likely caused by a phone call or a visit at midnight? ____D___[A] Concern．[B] Fear．[C] Excitement． [D] All of the above.

Reading Comprehension (2’×15=30’)Read the passage and complete each of the statements that follow. Write your answers on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneSylvester and I are watching television advertisements because we need information for a class research project. We have to discuss what is true and what is not true in television advertising, and so we are looking for examples of untruthful television commercials. The question we are asking is, "Is the commercial true to life, or does it offer an unreal picture of the product?"Sylvester is keeping track of the falsehoods, and he already has quite a long list. He says that all housewives seem to live in lovely homes, dress beautifully, and love their household chores, they smile and boast about floor cleaners and proudly display their dirty laundry, dusty tabletops, and unclean ovens. In addition, he has never seen men doing housework. Sylvester thinks that this view of family life is filled with distortions.I am keeping track of the people who appear in the advertisements. I have found handsome men chasing after the All-American Girl, and they are always recommending brand X toothpasteor brand Y cologne (古龙水). I see teenagers and children surrounded by their friends, having a wonderful time at parties and at school, and they are usually enjoying large, friendly family gatherings. I think that these advertisements are also filled with fantasy.Sylvester and I have concluded that much of American life is pictured unrealistically in commercials. Teenagers do not always have fun at parties, and very few people love doing chores. People do have problems but few of these are ever shown in commercials. Instead, we watch Cinderella discover a miracle floor wax, finish the kitchen chores, and go dancing. Our heads are filled with these fantasies, and they also suggest that, for any problem, brand Z will provide the instant cure. Sylvester and I will have very few facts and a lot of fantasy to write about in our research reports.11. Judging from the context, the relationship between the author and Sylvester is most probablythat of _____.A. research workersB. a professor and a studentC. a father and a sonD. classmates12. According to Sylvester, what can be inferred about housewives in advertisements?A. They are sad and tired.B. They enjoy doing their housework.C. They always have their husbands help them.D. They never touch dirty things13. The author thinks that life of teenagers shown in commercials is _____.A. incompleteB. unrealisticC. true to lifeD. boring14. Sylvester and the author have come to the conclusion that commercials _____.A. are just like American lifeB. are not interesting or entertainingC. are not much like American lifeD. are fun for children15. The most suitable title for the passage is _____.A. A Class Research Project on TVB. American Life to Be ShownC. Children Like to See AdvertisementsD. Distortions in TV AdvertisingPassage TwoChristmas was coming. I wanted a pony. To make sure that my parents understood, I declared that I wanted nothing else, though I did want a pair of high boots.On Christmas Eve I hung up my stocking along with those of my sisters.The next morning my sisters and I woke up at six. Then we raced downstairs to the fireplace. And there they were: the gifts, all sorts of wonderful things. Only my stocking was empty. My sisters were crying with delight till they found me standing there looking so miserable. My sisters and I all cried till I became indignant. That helped some. I drove my sisters away; I went out alone into the stable and wept. My mother tried to comfort me. But I wanted no comfort at that momentI felt I was hurt. And my father must have been hurt, too. I saw him watching me or something through the window for an hour or two, with a look of anxiety on his face.After an hour or two, I caught sight of a man riding a pony down the street. But the man came along, reading the numbers on the houses. He looked at our door and passed by. I fell upon the steps and burst into tears. Soon the man on the pony came back again. After making sure that I was the very boy named Lennie Steffens，he gave it to me, saying something about “ought to have got here at seven o’clock, but—”I hardly heard, and I could scarcely wait. I was so happy, so thrilled. I rode off up the street.But that Christmas, which my father had planned so carefully, was it the best or the worst I ever knew? He often asked me that; I never could answer as a boy. I think now that it was both. It covered the whole distance from broken-hearted misery to bursting happiness—too fast. A grown-up could hardly have stood it.16. Which of the following statements about the man riding on the pony is NOT true?A) It was not easy for him to find Lennie Steffens’ home.B) He had never met Lennie Steffens before.C) He dressed himself as Father Christmas.D) He should have arrived earlier.17. Having found that I hadn’t gotten my gift, all of my family members came to comfort me except______.A) one of my sisters B) all of my sistersC) my mother D) my father18. What is the possible meaning of the underlined word “indignant” in Paragraph 3?A) Angry. B) Depressed.C) Impatient. D) Joyous.19. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A) On Christmas Eve Lennie Steffens did not hang up his stocking along with his sisters’.B) Lennie Steffens was the only boy in the family.C) The delivery of the Christmas gift for the boy was delayed as planned.D) Lennie Steffens didn’t want boots at all.20. What is the best title for the passage?A) A Merry Christmas B) A Miserable ChristmasC) A Miserable, Merry Christmas D) A PonyPassage Thre eDo you find getting up in the morning so difficult that it’s painful? This might be called laziness, but Dr. Kleitman has a new explanation. He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle.During the hours when you labor through your work, you may say that you’re “hot”. That’s true. The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak. For some people, the peak comes during the forenoon. For others, it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so, but it leads to such familiar monologues (自言自语) as: “Get up, John! You’ll be late for work again!” The possible explanation to the trouble is that John is at his temperature-and-energy peak in the evening. Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean, and which cycle each member of the family has.You can’t change your energy cycle, but you can learn to make your life fit it better. Habit can help, Dr. Kleitman believes. Maybe you’re sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway. Counteract your cycle to some extent by habitually staying up later than you want to. If your energy is low in the morning but you have an important job to do early in the day, rise before your usual hour. This won’t change your cycle, but you’ll get up steam (振作, 奋发) and work better at your low point.Get off to a slow start which saves your energy. Get up with a leisurely yawn and stretch. Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the troublesome search for clean clothes by laying them out the night before. Whenever possible, do routine work in the afternoon and save tasks requiring more energy or concentration for your sharper hours.21. If a person finds getting up early a problem, most probably ________.A) he is a lazy personB) he refuses to follow his own energy cycleC) he is not sure when his energy is lowD) he is at his peak in the afternoon or evening22. Which of the following may lead to family quarrels according to the passage?A) Unawareness of energy cycles.B) Familiar monologues.C) A change in a family member’s energy cycle.D) Attempts to control the energy cycle of other family members.23. If one wants to work more efficiently at his low point in the morning, he should ________.A) change his energy cycle B) overcome his lazinessC) get up earlier than usual D) go to bed earlier24. You are advised to rise with a yawn and stretch because it will ________.A) help to keep your energy for the day’s workB) help you to control your temper early in the dayC) enable you to concentrate on your routine workD) keep your energy cycle under control all day25. Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?A) Getting off to work with a minimum effort helps save one’s energy.B) Dr. Kleitman explains why people reach their peaks at different hours of day.C) Habits help a person adapt to his own energy cycle.D) Children have energy cycles, too.III. Cloze (0.5’ ×20=10’)Read the following passage carefully and choose the best word or phrase to fill in each blank.Some years ago, an American policeman found a woman lying near a lonely road. She did not appear to have 26 , but she was trembling and clearly in a state of shock, so he rushed her to the 27 hospital. She began to tell the doctor on duty a story which was 28 in all respects. She had been 29 along a country road 30 she had been stopped by a flying saucer 31 in front of her. She had been forced to leave the car and 32 the flying saucer by creatures which looked like human beings and which could easily make themselves 33 although they could not 34 . They could read her thoughts and she could read 35. They tested her politely and allowed her to 36 after carrying out a number of tests on her.

It is a small town located in the south-west of the U.S.A. They came for an old German car. Bill has a business of buying and selling old cars. Then they found the Martindale schoolhouse and fell in love with it. It was for sale and they wanted to buy it. Some local people were worried that their beloved schoolhouse would be a lot different, but the Hamiltons said they felt like its doorkeepers.At last they bought it. They made the old schoolhouse into their comfortable home. They built a garden and a swimming pool behind the house. They built two kitchens, three bathrooms, four toilets, four drawing-rooms and eight bedrooms inside it. They even had a dancing-hall in the central part of the house and they repaired the playground. Most importantly, the schoolhouse looks almost the same as it was before.Small-town life, especially living in an old school, might seem an unusual choice for the Hamiltons. So they started their new country life. Barri Hamilton says she and her husband have made many friends in Martindale. She didn’t make so many fr iends in the city though she lived there for 30 years.Buying the school was a “sensitive thing” for some residents, because so many had been educated there. “It’s important that Bill and I explain toeverybody that we feel like the doorkeepers of this sch ool,” Barri says.“When we are gone, we’ll leave it in better shape than when we found it.”21.

Reading Comprehension (2’×15=30’)Read the passage and complete each of the statements that follow. Write your answers on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneSylvester and I are watching television advertisements because we need information for a class research project. We have to discuss what is true and what is not true in television advertising, and so we are looking for examples of untruthful television commercials. The question we are asking is, "Is the commercial true to life, or does it offer an unreal picture of the product?"Sylvester is keeping track of the falsehoods, and he already has quite a long list. He says that all housewives seem to live in lovely homes, dress beautifully, and love their household chores, they smile and boast about floor cleaners and proudly display their dirty laundry, dusty tabletops, and unclean ovens. In addition, he has never seen men doing housework. Sylvester thinks that this view of family life is filled with distortions.I am keeping track of the people who appear in the advertisements. I have found handsome men chasing after the All-American Girl, and they are always recommending brand X toothpasteor brand Y cologne (古龙水). I see teenagers and children surrounded by their friends, having a wonderful time at parties and at school, and they are usually enjoying large, friendly family gatherings. I think that these advertisements are also filled with fantasy.Sylvester and I have concluded that much of American life is pictured unrealistically in commercials. Teenagers do not always have fun at parties, and very few people love doing chores. People do have problems but few of these are ever shown in commercials. Instead, we watch Cinderella discover a miracle floor wax, finish the kitchen chores, and go dancing. Our heads are filled with these fantasies, and they also suggest that, for any problem, brand Z will provide the instant cure. Sylvester and I will have very few facts and a lot of fantasy to write about in our research reports.11. Judging from the context, the relationship between the author and Sylvester is most probablythat of _____.A. research workersB. a professor and a studentC. a father and a sonD. classmates12. According to Sylvester, what can be inferred about housewives in advertisements?A. They are sad and tired.B. They enjoy doing their housework.C. They always have their husbands help them.D. They never touch dirty things13. The author thinks that life of teenagers shown in commercials is _____.A. incompleteB. unrealisticC. true to lifeD. boring14. Sylvester and the author have come to the conclusion that commercials _____.A. are just like American lifeB. are not interesting or entertainingC. are not much like American lifeD. are fun for children15. The most suitable title for the passage is _____.A. A Class Research Project on TVB. American Life to Be ShownC. Children Like to See AdvertisementsD. Distortions in TV AdvertisingPassage TwoChristmas was coming. I wanted a pony. To make sure that my parents understood, I declared that I wanted nothing else, though I did want a pair of high boots.On Christmas Eve I hung up my stocking along with those of my sisters.The next morning my sisters and I woke up at six. Then we raced downstairs to the fireplace. And there they were: the gifts, all sorts of wonderful things. Only my stocking was empty. My sisters were crying with delight till they found me standing there looking so miserable. My sisters and I all cried till I became indignant. That helped some. I drove my sisters away; I went out alone into the stable and wept. My mother tried to comfort me. But I wanted no comfort at that momentI felt I was hurt. And my father must have been hurt, too. I saw him watching me or something through the window for an hour or two, with a look of anxiety on his face.After an hour or two, I caught sight of a man riding a pony down the street. But the man came along, reading the numbers on the houses. He looked at our door and passed by. I fell upon the steps and burst into tears. Soon the man on the pony came back again. After making sure that I was the very boy named Lennie Steffens，he gave it to me, saying something about “ought to have got here at seven o’clock, but—”I hardly heard, and I could scarcely wait. I was so happy, so thrilled. I rode off up the street.But that Christmas, which my father had planned so carefully, was it the best or the worst I ever knew? He often asked me that; I never could answer as a boy. I think now that it was both. It covered the whole distance from broken-hearted misery to bursting happiness—too fast. A grown-up could hardly have stood it.16. Which of the following statements about the man riding on the pony is NOT true?A) It was not easy for him to find Lennie Steffens’ home.B) He had never met Lennie Steffens before.C) He dressed himself as Father Christmas.D) He should have arrived earlier.17. Having found that I hadn’t gotten my gift, all of my family members came to comfort me except______.A) one of my sisters B) all of my sistersC) my mother D) my father18. What is the possible meaning of the underlined word “indignant” in Paragraph 3?A) Angry. B) Depressed.C) Impatient. D) Joyous.19. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A) On Christmas Eve Lennie Steffens did not hang up his stocking along with his sisters’.B) Lennie Steffens was the only boy in the family.C) The delivery of the Christmas gift for the boy was delayed as planned.D) Lennie Steffens didn’t want boots at all.20. What is the best title for the passage?A) A Merry Christmas B) A Miserable ChristmasC) A Miserable, Merry Christmas D) A PonyPassage Thre eDo you find getting up in the morning so difficult that it’s painful? This might be called laziness, but Dr. Kleitman has a new explanation. He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle.During the hours when you labor through your work, you may say that you’re “hot”. That’s true. The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak. For some people, the peak comes during the forenoon. For others, it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so, but it leads to such familiar monologues (自言自语) as: “Get up, John! You’ll be late for work again!” The possible explanation to the trouble is that John is at his temperature-and-energy peak in the evening. Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean, and which cycle each member of the family has.You can’t change your energy cycle, but you can learn to make your life fit it better. Habit can help, Dr. Kleitman believes. Maybe you’re sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway. Counteract your cycle to some extent by habitually staying up later than you want to. If your energy is low in the morning but you have an important job to do early in the day, rise before your usual hour. This won’t change your cycle, but you’ll get up steam (振作, 奋发) and work better at your low point.Get off to a slow start which saves your energy. Get up with a leisurely yawn and stretch. Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the troublesome search for clean clothes by laying them out the night before. Whenever possible, do routine work in the afternoon and save tasks requiring more energy or concentration for your sharper hours.21. If a person finds getting up early a problem, most probably ________.A) he is a lazy personB) he refuses to follow his own energy cycleC) he is not sure when his energy is lowD) he is at his peak in the afternoon or evening22. Which of the following may lead to family quarrels according to the passage?A) Unawareness of energy cycles.B) Familiar monologues.C) A change in a family member’s energy cycle.D) Attempts to control the energy cycle of other family members.23. If one wants to work more efficiently at his low point in the morning, he should ________.A) change his energy cycle B) overcome his lazinessC) get up earlier than usual D) go to bed earlier24. You are advised to rise with a yawn and stretch because it will ________.A) help to keep your energy for the day’s workB) help you to control your temper early in the dayC) enable you to concentrate on your routine workD) keep your energy cycle under control all day25. Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?A) Getting off to work with a minimum effort helps save one’s energy.B) Dr. Kleitman explains why people reach their peaks at different hours of day.C) Habits help a person adapt to his own energy cycle.D) Children have energy cycles, too.III.
