There are some tasks for you to fulfill. You should read the given materials carefully and do the tasks as you are instructed.Task 1Directions: After reading the following passage, you will find 5 questions or unfinished statements, num bered 46 through 50. For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A), B), C) or D). Y ou should make the correct choice and mark the corresponding letter in the Answer Sheet with a singl e line through the centre.We use both words and gestures to express our feelings, but the problem is that these words and gestures（手势）can be understood in different ways.It is true that a smile means the same thing in any language. So does laughter orcrying. Fear is another emotion that is shown in much the same way all over the world. In Chinese a nd in English literature, a phrase like 'he went pale and began to tremble suggests that the man is ei ther very afraid or he has just got a very big shock. However, 'he opened his eyes wide' is used to s uggest anger in Chinese whereas in English it meanssurprise. In Chinese surprise can be described in a phrase like 'they stretched out their tongues!' Sticki ng out your tongue in English is an insulting（侮辱）gesture or expresses strong dislike.Even in the s ame culture, people differ in their ability to understand and express feelings. Experiments in America h ave shown that women are usually better than men at recognizing fear, anger, love and happiness on people' faces. Other studies show that older people usually find it easier to recognize or understand b ody language than younger people do.46. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?AA) It is difficult to tell what people's words or gestures really mean.B) Gestures can be understood by most people but words can not.C) Words can be better understood by older people.D) We can easily understand what people's gestures mean.47. People's facial expressions may be misunderstood because _____C_______.A) people of different sexes may understand a gesture differentlyB) people speaking different languages have different facial expressionsC) people from different cultures use different facial expressionsD) people of different ages may have different interpretations48. In the same culture, people _____D_______.A) hardly fail to understand each other's ideas and feelingsB) are equally intelligent even if they have different backgroundsC) almost have the same understanding of the same thingD) may have different abilities to understand and express feelings49. From the passage, we can conclude that ____A________.A) words and gestures can both be used to express feelingsB) gestures are more effectively used than wordsC) words are often more difficult to understand than gesturesD) words are used as frequently as gestures50. The best title for this passage can be _______B_____.A) Gestures and FeelingsB) Words, Gestures and FeelingsC) Words and FeelingsD) Culture and UnderstandingTask 2Directions: This task is the same as task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 51 through 55.When the early settlers, especially the English, arrived in the New World, the hardships, and dangers awaiting them were totally unexpected. Had it not been for some friendly Indians, the colonists never would have survived the terrible winters. They knew nothing about planting crops, hunting animals, buil ding solid houses, or making clothing from animal skins. Life in England had been much simpler, and t his new life was not like what the Spanish explorers had reported.The settlers did introduce iron tools, muskets(步枪) for hunting , domesticated animals, and political way to the Indians. In exchange, the s ettlers learned to build canoes(独木舟) for water transportation and snowshoes for winter traveling. The Indians also taught them to penetrate through the forest, to hunt large animals and trap smaller ones, and to catch fish in the lakes and streams.The natives also introduced to the settlers typical loc al food. Everything possible was done in order to make their new settlement resemble the homes they had left behind.51. Which of the following did the new settlers teach the Indians?DA) New means of water travel .B) How to trap animals.C) New methods of fishing .D) New political ways.52. What can we learn about some local foods in the new land from the passage?BA) They were preferred to eat raw.B) They were soon exported to England by the settlers.C) They were the main foods for Indians.D) They were also common in England.53. The Indians mainly taught the settlers to _____A_______.A) survive on the new landB) change their former habitsC) cooperate with themD) live a better life54. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?CA) The settlers had difficulty making friends with the Indians.B) The settlers soon became accustomed to the new world.C) The settlers evidently found the winters severe.D) The settlers were well prepared to encounter hardships.55. From the last sentence of the passage we can learn that _____B_______.A) the settlers hated to live in the new landB) the settlers had a deep love for their old homesC) the settlers would like to forget their old lifeD) the settlers made every effort to improve their new lifeTask 3Directions: After reading the following passage, you will find 5 questions (No. 56 through No. 60) to it. You should give brief answers to these questions. The answers should be no more than 8 words. Wr ite them in the corresponding space on the Answer Sheet.Investment is a key way for business to grow and for investors to make money. Numerous studies ha ve shown that, on average, high-risk investors make more than low-risk ones. Over time the stock mar ket rewards them for taking a risk, sometimes makes them suffer from heavy losses. Even during the 1980s, the decade of the stock market crash, one study shows that over the whole of the ten years s hares profited higher than lower-risk fixed interest and property investments.This brings us to the first b asic rule relating to risk: high risk equals high return. If you want to maximise your savings, take some risk with at least some of your money.Keep in mind, though, the second rule relating to risk: diversity, or spread your eggs around lots of baskets. This is partly so you won't be hurt too badly if one com pany fails.Research also shows that you won't be rewarded with high returns for the all-eggs-in-one-ba sket type of risk. In short, you're mad not to spread your money around.56. What is the possible title of this passage?__________________. Investments______________________________________________57. What disadvantage may high-risk investors have?High-risk investors may_________________ suffer from heavier losses________________________ than low-risk ones.58. What is the first basic principle about risk?_______________________ High risk equals high return__________________________________________59. Which word has a meaning close to "spreading your money around'?_________________________ Diversity________________________________________60. What does the author think is the best way of making investment?_____________________ Spread your money around____________________________________________Task 4Directions: After reading the following passage, you are required to complete the outline below it (No.61 through No. 65). You should write your answers briefly on the Answer Sheet correspondingly.Antarctica is for the most part a vast, icy emptiness, some 14 million square kilometres of which is al most completely covered by an ice sheet with an average thickness of over 2,000 meters.Only about 2% of the land mass is ice-free, and about half of this is in the Ross Dependency comprised of land, ice-shelf and islands between 160 degrees east and 150degrees west.The largest single ice-free area lies in South Victoria Land, about 100 kilometres from Ne w Zealand's scientific research station, Scott Base on Ross Island.The United States also has a large base at the South Pole, known as the Amundsen-Scott Base and named after two of the most importa nt early 20th century explorers who helpedbring world attention to the continent.Only a very small proportion of the coast is easily accessible, mo stly along the coast of Victoria Land and Ross Island.61.___________________________________62.___________________________________63.___________________________________64.___________________________________65.___________________________________61.

Youshould decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage 1There are stories about two U.S. presidents, Andrew Jackson and Martin Van Buren, which attempt to explain the American English term OK. We don 't know if either story is true, but theyare both interesting.The first explanation is based on the fact that President Jackson had very little education. In fact, he had difficulty reading and writing. When important papers came to Jackson, he tried to read them and then had his assistants explain what they said. If he approved of a paper, he would write “all correct ” on it. The problem was that he didn w spell, so w 'hattknhoewrehaolly wrote was “ol korekt ”. Atfer a while, he shortened that term to“OK ”.The second explanation is based on the place where President Van Buren was born,Kinderhook, New York. Van Buren's friends organized a club to help hoi m ebPercesident.They called the club the Old Kinderhook Club, and anyone who supported Van Buren was called “OK ”.11. The author ______________ .C.

According to the second story, the term “ OK” was first used __________A. by Van BurenB. in a presidential electionC. to organize the Old Kinderhook ClubD. by the members of the “ Old Kinderhook Club ”Passage 2Although the United States covers so much land and the land produces far more food than the present population needs, its people are by now almost entirely an urban society. Less than a tenth of the people are engaged in agriculture and forestry（林业）, and most of the rest live in or around towns, small and large. Here the traditional picture is changing: every small town may still be very like other small towns, and the typical small town may represent a widely accepted view of the country, but most Americans do not live in small towns any more. Half the population now lives in some thirty metropolitan areas （large cities with their suburbs） of more than a million people each —a larger proportion than in Germanyor England, let alone France. The statistics （统计） of urban and rural population should be treated with caution because so many people who live in areas classified as rural travel by car to work in a nearby town each day.As the rush to live out of town continues, rural areas within reach of towns are gradually filled with houses, so that it is hard to say at what moment a piece of country becomes a suburb. But more and more the typical American lives in a metropolitan rather than a small town environment.16. If now America has 250 million people, how many of them are engaged in agriculture and forestryA. About 25 million.B. More than 25 million.C. Less than 25 million.D. Less than 225 million.17. Which of the following four countries has the smallest proportion of people living inC. France.D. England.“ metropolitan ” in the middle of the passage B. Of small and large towns. D. Of rural areas.19. According to the passage, what can we learn aboutsmall towns in the UnitedStatesA. Most small towns become gradually crowded.B. Small towns are still similar to each other.C. As the traditional picture is changing, towns are different.D. Small towns are turning into large cities.20. Why is it hard to say when a piece of country becomes a suburb ________A. Because they are the same.B. Because the rush takes place too quickly.C. Because the process is gradual.D. Because more and more Americans live in metropolitan areas.Passage 3If we were asked exactly what we were doing a year ago, we should probably have to say that we could not remember. But if we had kept a book and had written in it an account of what we did each day, we should be able to give an answer to the question.It is the same in history. Many things have been forgotten because we do not have any written account of them. Sometimes men did keep a record of the most important happenings in their country, but often it was destroyed by fire or in a war. Sometimes there was never any written record at all because the people of that time and place did not know how to write. For example, we know a good deal about the people who lived in China 4,000 years ago, because they could write and leave written records for those who lived after them. But we know almost nothing about the people who lived even 200 years ago in central Africa, because they had not learned to write.Sometimes, of course, even if the people cannot write, thy may know something of the past. They have heard about it from older people, and often songs and dances and stories have been made about the most important happenings, and these have been sung and acted and told for many generations. For most people aremetropolitan areas ___________ A. United States. B. Germany. 18. What ' s the meaning of the wordA. Of a large city with its suburbs.C. Of urban areas.proud to tell what their fathers did in the past. This we may call ' remembered history' . Some of it has mow been written down. It is not so exact or sovaluable to us as written history is, because words are much more easily changed when used again and again in speech than when copied in writing. But where there are no written records, such spoken stories are often very helpful.21. Which of the following ideas is not suggested in the passage ____A. “ Remembered history ” , comwpitahrewdritten history, is less reliable.B. Written records of the past play the most important role in our learning of the human history.C. A written account of our daily activities helps us to be able to answer many questions.D. Where there are no written records, there is no history.22. We know very little about the central Africa 200 years ago because _____ .A. there was nothing worth being written down at that timeB. the people there ignored the importance of keeping a recordC. the written records were perhaps destroyed by a fireD. the people there did not know how to write23. “ Remembered history ” refers to ____________ .A. history based on a person ' s imaginationB. stories of important happenings passed down from mouth to mouthC. songs and dances about the most important eventsD. both B and C24. “ Remembered history ” is regarded as valuable only when ___________ .A. it is written downB. no written account is availableC. it proves to be trueD. people are interested in it25. The passage suggests that we could have learned much more about our past than we donow if theancient people had ___________________ .A. kept a written record of every past eventB. not burnt their written records in warsC. told exact stories of the most important happeningsE. made more songs and dancesPassage 4‘Mum, can we go to McDonald 's, please? ' Some people might ask, ‘ Where would wtoday if we did not have fast food? ' and ‘ Where would parents take their children out to eat?It has been reported that approximately 30% of meals consumed by families in the USA are eaten at one of the big chains like Burger King and Taco Bell, though probably none is more famous than McDonald 's. The distinctive ‘ golden arch ' can now be seeitniesininmost major c the world. In 2002, McDonald 's hadapproximately 25,000 restaurants in over 120 countries andserved 29 million people a day.Apparently, the secret of their success is a marketing strategy of think global, act local ‘ '. McDonald ' slearnt that if they adapted their ‘ Mac'meals to different cultures, it was more successful than having a standardised set of products that taste the same everywhere. So now, around 80% of McDonald ' rsestaurants are franchised to local people who serve food with a ‘ localfla'vour. For example, in Hong Kong, food called‘ ShakeShake Fries a'nd ‘ RedBean Sunday ' can be found on the menu, while in Switzerland, ‘Vegi Macs ' are served.However, fast food is not popular with everyone. It is often called ‘junk ' fo is said to be unhealthy and full of fat. Furthermore, many people claim that fast food chains produce enormous amounts of waste, while millions of people in developing countries go hungry. At the same time, more and more people no longer cook fresh food at home. ‘ Convenience ' food is just too convenient! It is so easy for people with busy working lives to call into their local branch of Marks and Spencer, or some other supermarket chain, to buy ready-made meals on their way home from work. It is even easier to buy a ‘-taawkaey' from a local restaurant or pick up the phone and order a pizza to be delivered to your home.26. The ‘ golden arch ' in the second paragraph refers to _______________ .A) Burger King B) Taco Bell C) McDonald 's D) all the fast foodrestaurants27.

For each question there are four choices marked A,B,C and D. Youshould decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage 1When Mrs. Joseph Groeger died recently in Vienna, Austria, people asked the obvious, “Why did she live to be 107?”Answers were provided by a survey conducted among 148 Viennese men and women who had reached the age of 100. Somewhat surprising was the fact that the majority had lived most of their lives in cities. In spite of the city 'simage as an unhealthy place, city living often provides benefits that country living can lack. One factor seems to be important to the longevity （长寿）of those interviewed.This factor is exercise. In the cities it is often faster to walk short distances than to wait for a bus. Even taking public transportation often requires some walking. Smaller apartment houses have no elevators （电梯） , and so people must climb stairs. City people can usually walk to local supermarkets. Since parking spaces are hard to find, there is often no alternative to walking.On the other hand, those who live in the country and suburbs do not have to walk every day. In fact, the opposite is often true. To go to school, work, or almost anywhere else, they must ride in cars.11. The Vienna survey may help to explain ________ .A. the complaints of people in apartment housesB. the cause of Mrs. Groeger 'sdeathC. the longevity of people like Mrs. GroegerD. the image of cities in general12. The purpose of the second paragraph is to list some _________ .A. benefits of walkingB. occasions for walking in city lifeC. comments made by city peopleD. problems of city living13. To reach the third floor of a building, it would probably be most healthfulA. to take the elevatorB. to walk up the stairsC. to ride in a carD. to find an alternative to walking14. People who live in the country probably do more driving than walking becauseA. they don 'tlive near business areasB. they don 'tneed the exerciseC. they never have parking problemsD. they can 't afford to take the bus15. A conclusion that can be drawn from this passage is that ________ .A. air pollution is not seriousB. anyone can live to be 107C. country people should move to the cityD. walking is a healthful exercisePassage 2For any Englishman, there can never be any discussion as to who is the world 's greatest dramatist ( 剧作家). Only one name can possibly suggest itself to him: that of William Shakespeare. Every Englishman has some knowledge, however slight, of the work of our greatest writer. All of us use words, phrases and quotations from Shakespeare's writings that have become part of the com mon property of the En glish -speak ing people. Most of the time we are probably unaware of the source of the words we used, rather like the old lady who was taken to see a performance of Hamlet and complained that it was full of well -known proverbs and quotations.Shakespeare, more perhaps than any other writher, makes full use of the great resources of the English language. Most of us use about five thousand words in our normal use of English; Shakespeare in his works used about twenty -five thousand.There is probably no better way for a foreigner to appreciate the richness and variety of the English language than by studying the various ways in which Shakespeare used it. Such a study is well worth the effort ( it is not, of course, recommended to beginners) even though some aspects of English usage, and the meaning of many words, have changed since Shakespeare 's day.16. English people ________ .A. have never discussed who is the world 's greatest dramatistB. never discuss any issue concerning the world 's greatest dramatistC. are sure who is the world 'sgreatest dramatistD. do not care who is the world 's greatest poet and dramatist17. Every Englishman knows ________ .A. more or less about ShakespeareB. Shakespeare, but only slightlyC. all Shakespeare'swritingsD. only the name of the greatest English writer18. Which of the following is true?A. We use all the words, phrases and quotations from Shakespeare's writings.B. Shakespeare's writings have become the property of those who are learning to speakEnglish..C. It is likely to be true that people often do not know the origins of the words they use.D. All the words people use are taken from the writings of Shakespeare.19. What does the word “proverb ”mean?A. Familiar sayings.B. Shakespeare's plays.C. Complaints.D. Actors and actresses.20. Why is it worthwhile to study the various ways in which Shakespeare used English?A. English words have changed a lot since Shakespeare 's time.B. By doing so one can be fully aware of the richness of the English language.C. English words are now being used in the same way as in Shakespeare 's time.D. Beginners may heave difficulty learning some aspects of English usage.Passage 3Threes are useful to man in three very important ways: they provide him wood and other products; they give him shade; and they help to prevent drought （干旱） and floods.Unfortunately, in many parts of the world, man bas not realized that the third of these services is the most important. In his eagerness to draw quick profit from the trees, he has cut them down in large numbers.Two thousand years ago, a rich and powerful country cut down its trees to build warships, with which to gain itself an empire. It gained the empire but, without its trees, its soil became bare and poor. When the empire fell to pieced, the country found itself faced by floods and starvation.Even where a government realizes the importance of a plentiful supply of trees, it is difficult sometimes to make the people realize this. They cut down the trees but are too careless to plant and look after new trees. So, unless the government has a good system of control, or can educate the people, the forests slowly disappear.This does not only mean that there will be fewer trees. The results are even more serious: for where there are trees, their roots break the soil up, allowing the rain to sink in, and also bind the soil. This prevents the soil from being washed away. But where there are no trees, the rain falls on hard ground and flows away on the surface, and this causes floods and the rain carries away the rich topsoil in which crops grow. When all the topsoil is gone, nothing remains but worthless desert.21. Trees are useful to man mainly in three ways, the most important of which is that theycan ____________ .A. Keep him from the hot sunshineB. enable him to build warshipsC. make him draw quick profit from themD. protect him from droughts and floods22. It ' s a great pity that __________ .A. man is only interested in building empiresB. man is eager to profit from treesC. man hasn ' t realized the importance of trees to himD. man hasn ' t found out that he has lost all trees23. Sooner or later the forests will disappear ________ .A. unless a country has a plenty supply of treesB. unless people stop cutting down their treesC. unless all people are taught the importance of planting treesD. unless the government punishes those who cut trees instead of planting them24. The word “ bind ” in Paragraph 5 means “ ___________ ”.A. to wash awayB. to make wetC. to make stay togetherD. to improve25. When there is a heavy rain, trees can help to prevent floods, as they canA. keep rain from falling down to soft groundB. cause the soil to allow rainwater to sink inC. prevent the soil from being washed awayD. make the topsoil stick togetherPassage 4Betty and Harold have been married for years. But one thing still puzzles （困扰）old Harold. How is it that he can leave Betty and her friend Joan sitting on the sofa, talking, go out to a ballgame, come back three and a half hours later, and they're still sitting on the sofa? Talking? What in the world, Harold wonders, do they have to talk about?Betty shrugs. Talk? We're friends.Researching this matter called friendship, psychologist Lillian Rubin spent two years interviewing more than two hundred women and men. No matter what their age, their job, their sex, the results were completely clear: women have more friendships than men, and the difference in the content and the quality of those friendships is “marked and unmistakable.”More than two-thirds of the single men Rubin interviewed could not name a best friend. Those who could were likely to name a woman. Yet three-quarters of the single women had no problem naming a best friend, and almost always it was a woman. More married men than women named their wife/ husband as a best friend, most trusted person, or the one identified （认定）at least one, usually more, trusted friends to whom they could turn in a troubled moment, and they spoke。

The "school" is a now project. It is called "City-as-School" and the name means just that, the city itself is the place where 350 students, between the age of 15 and 18, learn their lessons.Students choose areas of work which interest them and then they help to do that work. For instance, one girl spends her week in the offices of a Congresswoman —— an elected official —— helping the public with problems such as pensions, housing, etc. Then she goes to help in a theatre for a day and she spends one day a week taking first-year courses at college.City-as-School is 30 years old. The education system in New York accepts it now, as an alternative to final years at school. But can it replace ordinary lessons? Well, students have to pass maths and science exams before they enter the "school". These subjects are not easy to provide for in " City-as-School". Teachers monitor the progress of the students, 80 to 85% of the students go to college (or university, as it is called in Britain) after their time at "City-as-School". The success rate is high. And the students are enthusiastic about their "school". They like the responsibility of their work,and the sense of purpose it gives them.When the students leave "City-as-School" , they don't have a normal academic education; but they do know a lot about different kinds of work in the city!41."City-as-School" is special because it is_________.A. in New York, one of the most famous cities in the worldB. not a common school we usually see and knowC. a school having special studentsD. free of charge for the citizens42. Which of the following is NOT included in permission of entering the "school"?A. Between 15 and 18 years old.B. Passing maths and science exams.C. Finishing first-year courses at college.D.

Each passage is followed by five questions. For each question there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage 1There are stories about two U.S. presidents, Andrew Jackson and Martin Van Buren, which attempt to explain the American English term OK. We don’t know if either story is true, but they are both interesting.The first explanation is based on the fact that President Jackson had very little education. In fact, he had difficulty reading and writing. When important papers came to Jackson, he tried to read them and then had his assistants explain what they said. If he approved of a paper, hewould write “all correct” on it. The problem was that he didn’t know how spell, so what he really wrote was “ol korekt”. After a while, he shortened that term to “OK”.The second explanation is based on the place where President Van Buren was born, Kinderhook, New York. Van Buren’s friends organized a club to help him become President. They called the club the Old Kinderhook Club, and anyone who supported Van Buren was called “OK”.11. The author_______________.A. believes both of the storiesB. doesn’t believe a word of the storiesC. is not sure whether the stories are trueD. is telling the stories just for fun12. According to the passage, President Jackson________________.A. couldn’t draw up any documents at allB. didn’t like to read important papers by himselfC. often had his assistants sign documents for himD. wasn’t good at reading or spelling13. According to the first story, the term “OK”________________.A. was approved of by President JacksonB. was the title of some official documentsC. was first used by President JacksonD. was an old way to spell “all correct”14. According to the second story, the term “OK”______________.A. was the short way to say “Old Kinderhook Club”B. meant the place where President Van Buren was bornC. was the name of Van Buren’s clubD. was used to call Van Buren’s supporters in the election15. According to the second story, the term “OK” was firstused____________.A. by Van BurenB. in a presidential electionC. to organize the Old Kinderhook ClubD. by the members of the “Old Kinderhook Club”Passage 2Although the United States covers so much land and the land produces far more food than the present population needs, its people are by now almost entirely an urban society. Less than a tenth of the people are engaged in agriculture and forestry(林业), and most of the rest live in or around towns, small and large. Here the traditional picture is changing: every small town may still be very like other small towns, and the typical small town may represent a widely accepted view of the country, but most Americans do not live in small towns any more. Half the population now lives in some thirty metropolitan areas (large cities with their suburbs) of more than a million people each — a larger proportion than in Germany or England, let alone France. The statistics (统计) of urban and rural population should be treated with caution because so many people who live in areas classified as rural travel by car to work in a nearby town each day. As the rush to live out of town continues, rural areas within reach of towns are gradually filled with houses, so that it is hard to say at what moment a piece of country becomes a suburb. But more and more the typical American lives in a metropolitan rather than a small town environment.16. If now America has 250 million people, how many of them areengaged in agriculture and forestry ____________A. About 25 million.B. More than 25 million.C. Less than 25 million.D. Less than 225 million.17. Which of the following four countries has the smallest proportionof people living in metropolitan areas _____________A. United States.B. Germany.C. France.D.England.18. What’s the meaning of the word “metropolitan” in the middle ofthe passage _________A. Of a large city with its suburbs.B. Of small and largetowns.C. Of urban areas.D. Of rural areas.19. According to the passage, what can we learn about small towns inthe United States _________A. Most small towns become gradually crowded.B. Small towns are still similar to each other.C. As the traditional picture is changing, towns are different.D. Small towns are turning into large cities.20. Why is it hard to say when a piece of country becomes a suburb__________A. Because they are the same.B. Because the rush takes place too quickly.C. Because the process is gradual.D. Because more and more Americans live in metropolitan areas.Passage 3If we were asked exactly what we were doing a year ago, we should probably have to say that we could not remember. But if we had kept a book and had written in it an account of what we did each day, we should be able to give an answer to the question.It is the same in history. Many things have been forgotten because we do not have any written account of them. Sometimes men did keep a record of the most important happenings in their country, but often it was destroyed by fire or in a war. Sometimes there was never any written record at all because the people of that time and place did not know how to write. For example, we know a good deal about the people who lived in China 4,000 years ago, because they could write and leave written records for those who lived after them. But we know almost nothing about the people who lived even 200 years ago in central Africa, because they had not learned to write.Sometimes, of course, even if the people cannot write, thy may know something of the past. They have heard about it from older people, and often songs and dances and stories have been made about the most important happenings, and these have been sung and acted and told for many generations. For most people are proud to tell what their fathers did in the past. T his we may call’ remembered history’. Some of it has mow been written down. It is not so exact or so valuable to us as written history is, because words are much more easily changed when used againand again in speech than when copied in writing. But where there are no written records, such spoken stories are often very helpful.21. Which of the following ideas is not suggested in the passage______A. “Remembered history”, compared with written history, is less reliable.B. Written records of the past play the most important role inour learning of the human history.C. A written account of our daily activities helps us to be ableto answer many questions.D. Where there are no written records, there is no history.22. We know very little about the central Africa 200 years ago because _______ .A. there was nothing worth being written down at that timeB. the people there ignored the importance of keeping a recordC. the written records were perhaps destroyed by a fireD. the people there did not know how to write23. “Remembered history” refers to ___________ .A. history based on a person’s imaginationB. stories of important happenings passed down from mouth to mouthC. songs and dances about the most important eventsD. both B and C24. “Remembered history” is regarded as valuable only when__________ .A. it is written downB. no written account is availableC. it proves to be trueD. people are interested in it25. The passage suggests that we could have learned much more aboutour past than we do now if the ancient people had ___________ .A. kept a written record of every past eventB. not burnt their written records in warsC. told exact stories of the most important happeningsE.made more songs and dancesPassage 4‘Mum, can we go to McDonald’s, please’ Some people might ask,‘Where would we be today if we did not have fast food’ and ‘Where would parents take their children out to eat’It has been reported that approximately 30% of meals consumed by families in the USA are eaten at one of the big chains like Burger King and Taco Bell, though probably none is more famous than McDonald’s. The distinctive ‘golden arch’ can now be seen in most major cities in the world. In 2002, McDonald’s had approximately 25,000 restau rants in over 120 countries and served 29 million people a day.Apparently, the secret of their success is a marketing strategy of‘think global, act local’.McDonald’s learnt that if they adaptedtheir ‘Mac’ meals to different cultures, it was more succe ssful than having a standardised set of products that taste the same everywhere. So now, around 80% of McDonald’s restaurants are franchised to local people who serve food with a ‘local’ flavour. For example, in Hong Kong, food called ‘Shake Shake Fries’ and ‘Red Bean Sunday’ can be found on the menu, while in Switzerland, ‘Vegi Macs’ are served.However, fast food is not popular with everyone. It is often called ‘junk’ food because it is said to be unhealthy and full of fat. Furthermore, many people claim that fast food chains produce enormous amounts of waste, while millions of people in developing countries go hungry. At the same time, more and more people no longer cook fresh food at home. ‘Convenience’ food is just too convenient! It is so easy for people with busy working lives to call into their local branch of Marks and Spencer, or some other supermarket chain, to buy ready-made meals on their way home from work. It is even easier to buy a ‘take-away’ from a local restaurant or pick up the phone and order a pizza to be deliveredto your home.26. T he ‘golden arch’ in the second paragraph refers to______________.A) Burger King B) Taco Bell C) McDonald’s D) all thefast food restaurants27. According to the passage, McDonald’s is succ essful mainly because __________________.A)It has a standardized set of products all over the worldB)It is not ‘junk’ foodC)Its’ food is convenientD)It adapted its meals to different cultures.28. In the passage, which of the following terms has/ have the same meaning with fast food.A) ‘junk’ food B) ‘convenience’ food C) ‘take-away’D) all of the above29. Fast food is often called ‘junk food’ because _____________.A)some people think it is unhealthy and full of fatB)fast food chains produce enormous amounts of wasteC)it is no longer fresh foodD) Both A and B.30. The main idea of this passage is ____________.A)fast food todayB)the successful secret of McDonald’s.C)why fast food is thought as ‘junk’ foodD)different opinions toward fast foodPart Ⅲ Vocabulary and Structure(25 points)Section ADirections: In this section there are 15 incomplete sentences.

The distinctive ‘golden arch’ can now be seen in most major cities in the world. In 2002, McDonald’s had approximately 25,000 restaurants in over 120 countries and served 29 million people a day.Apparently, the secret of their success is a marketing strategy of ‘think global, act local’. McDonald’s learnt that if they adapted their ‘Mac’ meals to different cultures, it was more successful than having a standardised set of products that taste the same everywhere. So now, around 80% of McDonald’s restaurants are franchised to local people who serve food with a ‘local’ flavour. For example, in Hong Kong, food called ‘Shake Shake Fries’ and ‘Red BeanSunday’ can be found on the menu, while in Switzerland, ‘Vegi Macs’ are served.However, fast food is not popular with everyone. It is often called ‘junk’ food because it is said to be unhealthy and full of fat. Furthermore, many people claim that fast food chains produce enormous amounts of waste, while millions of people in developing countries go hungry. At the same time, more and more people no longer cook fresh food at home. ‘Convenience’ food is just too convenient! It is so easy for people with busy working lives to call into their local branch of Marks and Spencer, or some other supermarket chain, to buy ready-made meals on their way home from work. It is even easier to buy a ‘take-away’ from a local restaurant or pick up the phone and order a pizza to be delivered to your home.26. The ‘golden arch’ in the second paragraph refers to ______________.A) Burger King B) Taco Bell C) McDonald’s D) all the fast food restaurants27. According to the passage, McDonald’s is successful mainly because __________________.A)It has a standardized set of products all over the worldB)It is not ‘junk’ foodC)Its’ food is convenientD)It adapted its meals to different cultures.28.

Passage 1Places to stay in Britain are as varied as the places you visit. Whatever your budget is the choice -from basic barn to small hotel, from tiny cottage to grand castle - is all part of fun.HostelsCheap, good? -value hostels are aimed at all types of like-minded travelers, who prefer valueover luxury and you don’t have to be young or single to use them. Britain’s independent hostels and backpackers hostels also offer a great welcome. Facilities and prices vary, especially in rural areas, where some hostels are a little more than a bunkhouse (临时住房) while others are remarkably comfortable －almost like bargain hotels.Youth HotelsFounded many years ago to “help all, especially young people of limited means, to a greater knowledge, lo ve and care of the countryside”, the Youth Hotels Association is still going strong in the 21st century. The network of 230 hotels is a perfect gateway for exploring Britain’s towns and countryside.B&BsThe B&B (bed and breakfast) is a Great British institution. In essence you get a room in somebody’s house, and small B&Bs may only have one guest room, so you’ll really feel like part of the family. Larger B&Bs may have four or five rooms and more facilities, but just as warm as a welcome. In country areas your B&B might be in a village or an isolated farm surrounded by fields. Prices reflect facilities, and usually run from around ￡12 to ￡20 per person. City B&Bs charge about ￡25 to ￡30 per person, although they’re often cheaper as you go further out to t he suburbs.Pubs & InnsAs well as selling drinks and meals, Britain’s pubs and inns sometimes offer B&B, particularly in country areas. Staying a night or two can be great fun and puts you at the heart of the local community. Rates range from around ￡15 to ￡25 per person. Pubs are more likely to have single rooms.（）6. In this passage the author mainly tells us where to stay while visiting Britain.A. TB. F（）7. Pubs & Inns are mainly built for young visitors.A. TB. F（）8. If you travel alone and want to know better about family life in Britain, you’d better stay in B&Bs.A. TB. F（）9. If you are interested in travelling with your friends but only with limited mean s, you’d better stay in Hostels.A. TB. F（）10. All pubs and inns offer visitors bed and breakfast.A. TB. FPassage 2America is growing older. Fifty years ago, only 4 out of every 100 people in the United States were 65 or older. Today, 10 out of every 100 Americans are over 65. The aging of the population will affect American society in many ways —education, medicine, and business. Quietly the graying of America has made us a very different society — one in which people have a quite different idea of what kind of behavior is suitable at various ages.A person’s age no longer tells you anything about his/her social position, marriage or health. There’s no longer a particular year in which one goes to school or goes to work or gets married orstarts a family. The social clock that kept us on time and told us when to go to school, get a job, or stop working isn’t as strong as it used to be. It doesn’t surprise us to hear of a 29-year-old university president or a 35-year-old grandmother, or a 70-year-old man who has become a father for the first time. Public notions are changing.Many people say, “I am much younger than my mother — or my father —was at my age.” No one says “act your age” anymore. We’ve stopped looking with surprise at older people who act in youthful ways.11. It can be learnt from the text that the aging of the population in America ______________A. has made people feel younger.B. has changed people’s social pos ition.C. has changed people’s understanding of age.D. has slowed down the country’s social development.12. The underlined word “one” refers to ______________.A. a societyB. AmericaC. a placeD. population13. We can infer from the text that if a 25-year-old man becomes general manager of a big firm,the writer would most probably consider it ______________.A. normalB. wonderfulC. unbelievableD. unreasonable14. “Act your age” means people should ______________A. be active when they are old.B. do the right thing at the right age.C. show respect for their parents young or old.D. take more physical exercise suitable to their age.15. This passage is mainly about ______________A. why American society is different.B. sui table behaviors at different age in American’s eyes.C. how older people act in youthful ways in America.D. how American people’s ideas about age have changed.第三部分：词汇与结构（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）此部分共有5个未完成的句子，针对每个句子中未完成的部分有4个选项，请从A、B、C、D 4个选项中选出正确选项。
