Until the middle of the eighteen fifties, surg ery was very dangerous. Many patients died after even the smallest operations. This w as because bacteria entered the cuts in the patients’ bodied and started infection. In so me countries, up to 90 percent of patients died from infection after operations. In 1865, however, Joseph Lister, a British surgeon, found an answer to the problem. He used a n “antiseptic” during and after operations. This killed the dangerous bacteria and most of his patients lived. Since then, surgeons have used antiseptics in all operations.Surgery has developed in many important ways since the day of Joseph Lister. To day, when patients go to hospital for an operation, they can expect the best treatment, in clean and hygienic conditions.33.

Joseph Lister was________.A. a FrenchmanB. a GermanC. an EnglishmanD. an American Passage 2Questions 38 to 42 are based on the following passage:Some 4000 Americans ambitions to become physicians are studying for their M. D. s abroad. Many were rejected by U.S. medical schools simply because there was no ro om. Last year, for example, some 13,000 of 35,000 would-be physicians who applied to U.S. schools were accepted. Of those who were turned down, well over 600 are trying t he foreign route.But gaining admittance to a good foreign school may be a problem. British medica l schools give priority to Britons , and Canada’s world-renowned McGill University Sc hool of Medicine takes only a handful of well qualified Americans annually. But severa l schools do welcome U.S. medical students---if they can master the local language. Mo re than 500 Americans are enrolled in the Belgian universities at Brussels and Louvain ,for example. Some 800 attend the Italian University at Bologna; 175 at Rome. Mexico’s Autonomous University of Guadalajara numbers 1,300 gringos among its 4,000 stude nts.Despite difficulties abroad, many Americans complete their medical educations, a nd manage to win the respect of their professors and classmates. One second-year stude nt at Louvain has a simple explanation for those successes: “ Anyone who comes here t o be motivated. You have to learn a new language, the school is constant hard work, an d it’s difficult to get back into the States to practice”.Before they can intern or practice in the United States, graduates of foreign school s must pass a special examination required by medical-education authorities. The tough test is designed primarily to weed out those who are unable to speak English or whose medical education is not up to U.S. standards.38. Which of the following is true about U.S. would-be physicians?A. America medical schools have superfluous applicantsB. language is a big problem all the American students applying to foreign medical schools have to face.C. Graduates from both American and foreign medical schools should take thesame test before practiceD. As many as one-third of last year’s applicants of medical schools are now applying to foreign schools39. Which is following is true about foreign medical education ?A. A lot of foreign medical schools do not welcome U.S. students simply because they have to consider the applicants form their own countries first.B. To enter foreign medical schools is much easier than to gain admittance intoAmerican medical schools if the problem of language is not regarded.C. There are not many good foreign medical schools according to American stu dentsD. There are so many difficulties in studying abroad that not many American students become successful in foreign medical schools40. Which of the following is one of the difficulties the American students at fore ign, medical schools have to face.A. Living and medical conditions in foreign countries are not so good as those in America.B. There is racial discrimination against them.C. They are given no opportunities to practice at local places.D. They are treated the same as foreign physicians and medical school graduates when trying to go back to America to practice.41. What does the word “gringos” mean?A. Americans.B. ForeignersC. Americans in MexicoD. Mexicans42. Which of the following can be the title of this passage?A. Foreign Medical Schools.B. Life at Foreign Medical SchoolsC. The toughForeign Route. D. American Would-be Physicians at Foreign Schools.Passage 3Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage :Summers with father were always enjoyable. Swimming , hiking , boating , fishin g—the days were not long enough to contain all of our activities. There never seemed to be enough time to go to church, which disturbed some friends and relations. Accuse d of neglecting this part of our education, my father instituted a summer school for my brother and me . However, his summer course included ancient history, which Papa f elt our schools neglected ,and navigation, in which we first had a formal examination i n the dining room, part of which consisted of tying several knots in a given time limit. Then we were each separately sent on what was grandly referred to as a cruise in my father’s 18-foot knockabout, spending the night on board, and loaded down, according to my mother, with enough food for a week. I remember that on my cruise I was requ ired to formally plot our course, using the tide table, even though our goal was an isla nd I could see quite clearly across the water in the distance.43. What was the original reasons for holding the summer school?A. Friends and relatives thought the children should learn religionB The father wanted the children to learn more about religionC. The children got poor grades in their regular schoolD.

Although science ha s made enormous steps in making food more fit to eat, it has , at the same time, made many foods unfit to eat. Some research has shown that perhaps eighty percent of canc er is related to the diet as well, especially cancer of the colon . Different cultures are more prone to contract certain illnesses because of the food that is characteristic in the se cultures. That food related to illness is not a new discovery. In 1945 , government r esearchers realized that nitrates and nitrites, commonly used to preserve color in meat s, and other food additives, caused cancer. Yet, these carcinogenic additives remain in our food, and it becomes more difficult all the time to know which things on the pack aging labels of processed food are helpful or harmful.The additives which we eat are not all so direct. Farmers often give penicillin to be ef and poultry, and because of this, penicillin has been found in the milk of treated co ws. Sometimes similar drugs are administered to animals not for medicinal purposes, but for financial reasons. The farmers are simply trying to fatten the animals in order t o obtain a higher price on the market. Although the Food and Drug Administration (F DA) has tried repeatedly to control these procedures, the practices continue.48. What is the main topic of the passage?A. Food and our health B Food and additivesC. Food and cancer D Food and culture49 All of the following statements are true EXCEPT_______.A Forty percent of cancer is caused by problems related to food.B Researchers have known about the potential danger of food additives for ma ny yearsC. We eat some of the food additives directly and some indirectlyD Drugs are always given to animals for medicinal purposes50. Why do farmers give drugs to their animals?A. to speed up the growth of animals B To make the animals fatterC to make the animals’ meat fit to eatD To make the animals’ meat rich in nutrients51. It can be inferred from the passage that_________.A scientist have made all the food fit to eatB only in recent years have people found that the food is related to one’s illnes sC all kinds of cancer are related to the dietD some additives are harmful to our health52. The word “ this” in the second sentence of paragraph 2 most probably refers to __________.A farmerB penicillinC beef and poultryD the fact that farmers often give penicillin to a beefPart IV: Translation from English into Chinese (10%)Directions: In this part, there are four items which you should translate into Chinese, ea ch item consisting of one sentence.

Reading passageNowadays, more and more people are choosing to travel solo. In the past, solo travelers were often seen as brave adventurers or lonely souls seeking solitude. However, solo travel has become increasingly popular in recent years for a variety of reasons.One of the main reasons people choose to travel alone is the freedom it offers. When you travel solo, you can make all the decisions about where to go, what to see, and what to do without having to compromise with anyone else. You can follow your own pace, interests, and preferences without having to consider anyone else's opinions.Another reason solo travel has become popular is the opportunity it provides for personal growth and self-discovery. When you travel alone, you are forced to step out of your comfort zone and rely on yourself to navigate unfamiliar situations. This can help you build confidence, independence, and resilience, and can also provide a sense of empowerment.Additionally, solo travel allows you to meet new people and make new friends more easily. When you are traveling alone, you are more likely to interact with locals and other travelers, as you are not already part of a group. This can lead to meaningful connections and cultural exchanges that would not have been possible if you were traveling with others.Overall, solo travel can be a rewarding and enriching experience that can help you learn more about yourself and the world around you. Whether you are looking for adventure, personal growth, or simply a break from your daily routine, traveling alone can be a great way to achieve your goals and create lasting memories.2. Questionsa.

Each passage is followed by five questions or unfinished statements. Fro each question, there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should chose the best answer. Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with asingle line through the center.Passage oneIt is often difficult for visitors to understand Am ericans’ lack of desire for privacy. They are not a nation of walled gardens and closed gates. Their yards usually run into one another withoutany fence; they often visit one another’house without being invited or telephoning first; they leave their office doors open while they work.Their lack of desire for privacy probably results from their history as a nation. America is a big country. There have never been walled cities in the United States, nor was there the need for Americans to protect themselves from neighbouring states. During the early years, America had sofew settlers that neighbours were very important; they were not to be shut by doors and fences. Neighbours offered protection and helped with the hard work of settling the land. They dependedupon each other.From the nation’ s early history has come the desire for openness rather than privacy. Visitors will notice this desire in a number of small ways; there may be rooms in American homes that donot have doors or that have glass walls. If you notice that people forget to close your door whenthey leave your room, do not think that this is rude, help them to learn that you would like it to be closed, or else become accustomed to new ways. In either case, be patient with the differences .33. According to the passage, visitors to America sometimes have trouble understanding _____.A. American ’ s opennessB. American ’ s lack of desire for privacyC.American ’ s way of humor D. American ’ s style of life34.Which of the following is true?A.. People walled their yards with fences.B. The settlers in the early years needed neighbour’ s help very much.C. People get used to American’ s openness.35. During the early years, people were never shut out by doors because _____.A. they were neighboursB. they were friendsC. they depended upon each otherD. they got accustomed to that36. Visitors will notice American’ s desire for openness in a way _____.A. they walled their house with glass37.Which is the best title for this passage?A.No Walled Cities.B.The Early SettlersC.American ’ s Lack of Desire for PrivacyD.Be Patient with DifferencesPassage 2The murder took place around ten o'clock p.m. on June 10. Thirty-two people watched Kitty being killed right beneath their windows. She was their neighbour. Yet, none of the 32 helped her. Not even one called the police. Was this inhuman cruelty( 狠心 )? Was it lack of feeling for one's fellow man?“ Not so,” say scientists Dr. Darley and Dr. Fatane. They've found the reasons why people don'tact. According to them, a person has to go through two steps before he can help. First he has to noticethere is an emergency(紧迫状况 ).Suppose you see a middle-aged man fall onto the ground. Is he having a heart attack, or someother physical trouble? Or is he simply about to sleep off a drunk( 醉酒 )? So it's not always easy to tell if you are faced with a real emergency.Second and more important, the person faced with an emergency must feel himself responsible. He must feel that he must help.The researchers found that a lot depends on how many people are around. They asked collegestudents to come in to be “ tested”. Some came alone, some with one or two others, and some in large groups. When they came in, either alone, in pairs, or in groups, a lady went into the next room. Soon the students heard a scream, the noise of something falling and a cry for help. All of this had been pre-recorded on a tape-recorder.Eight out of ten of the students taking the test alone acted to help. Of the students in pairs,only two out of ten helped. Of the students in groups, none helped.In other words, in a group, American often fail to act. They feel that others will act. They, themselves, needn't. They do not feel any direct responsibility.38. Why didn't the thirty-two people act to help Kitty according to the passage?A. Because they were afraid to be killed.B. Because they were cruel in their hearts.C. Because they thought others would help.D. Because they didn't notice the emergency.39. Which of the following is an emergency?A. Someone is falling onto the ground.B. Someone is having a heart attack.C. Someone is having a trouble.D. Someone is sleeping off a drunk.40. When a person notice an emergency, he must _____ before he acts to help.A. feel himself responsibleB. call the policeC. hear a cry for helpD. be with a group41.The result of the tests shows that _____.A.the more people there are together, the more people will act to helpB.college students would be more likely to help than ordinary AmericansC.the more people there are together, the fewer people will act to helpD.none of the tested students acted to help42.Americans don't _____ in a group.A. notice an emergencyB. go through two steps before they actC. depend on each otherD. feel direct responsibilityPassage 3The greatest changes have been in the lives of women. During the twenties century there hasbeen a remarkable shortening of the time of woman’ s life spent in caring for children. A woman marrying at the end of the nineteenth century would probably have been in her middle twenties,and would be likely to have seven or eight children, of whom four or five live till they were fiveyears old. By the time the youngest was fifteen, the mother would have been in her early fiftiesand would expect to live a further twenty years, during which health made it unusual for her to getpaid work. Today women marry younger and have fewer children. Usually a woman’ s youngest child will be fifteen when she is forty-five and can be expected to live another thirty years and islikely to take paid work until retirement at sixty. Even while she has the care of children, her workis lightened by modern living conditions.This important change in women’ s life pattern has only recently begun to have its fullct effeon women ’ s economic positionEven. a few years ago most girls left school at the first chance, andmost of them took a full time job. However, when they married, they usually left work at once andnever return to it. Today the school-leaving age is sixteen, many girls stay at school after that age,and though women usually marry younger, more married women stay at least until shortly beforetheir first child is born. Very many more afterwards return to full or part-time job. Such changeshave led to a new relationship in marriage, with the husband accepting a greater share of the dutiesand satisfactions of family life, and with both husband and wife sharing more equally in providingthe money, and running the house, according to the abilities and interests of each of them.43.According to the passage, around the year 1900 most women married _____.A.at about twenty fiveB.in their early fiftiesC.as soon as possible after they were fifteenD.at any age from fifteen to forty-five44.We are told that in a common family in 1890s _____.A. seven or eight children lived to be more than fiveB. many children died before they were fiveC. the youngest child would be fifteenD. four or five children died when they were five45.When she was over fifty, the late nineteenth century mother _____.A.would be healthy enough to take part paid jobsB.was usually expected to die fairly soonC.was unlikely to find a job if she wanted oneD.would expect to work till she died46.According to the passage, the women of today usually _____.A. marry instead of getting paid workB. marry before they are twenty-fiveC. have more children under fifteenD. have too few children47. The best title for this passage is _____.A. Women ’ s lifeB. The Change of Women’ s LifeC. Women’ s MarriageD. Women’ s New LifePassage 4Advertising can be thought of "as the means of making known in order to buy or sell goods or services". Advertising aims to increase people's awareness and arouse interest. It tries to inform and to persuade. The media are all used to spread the message, and the press offers a fairly cheap method. Magazines are used to reach special sections of the market. The cinema and commercial radio are useful for local markets. Television, although more expensive, can be very effective. Posters are fairly cheap and more permanent in their power of attraction. Other ways of increasing consumer interest are through exhibitions and trade fairs as well as direct mail advertising.We might ask whether the cost of advertising is paid for by the manufacturer or by the consumer. Since advertising forms part of the cost of production, which has to be covered by the selling price,it is clear that it is the customer who pays for advertising. However, if large scale advertising leadsto increased demand, production costs are reduced, and the customer pays less.It is difficult to measure exactly the influence of advertising on sales. When the market is growing, advertising helps to increase demand. When the market is shrinking, advertising may prevent a bigger fall in scales than would occur without its support. What is clear is that businesses would not pay large sums for advertising if they were not convinced of its value to them.48. Advertising is often used to _____.A. convince customersB. promote productionC. raise interestD. push the sales49. . According to the passage, trade fairs (Paragraph 1) may _____.A. replace exhibitions and marketsB. supply local goods and servicesC. attract possible customersD. provide cheap amusements50. Advertising is in the main paid for by _____.A. the customerB. the producerC. the increased salesD. the decreased costs51. The author says that advertising can increase demand _____.A. in any period of salesB. in any circumstancesC. in a growing marketD. in a shrinking market52.What the last sentence of this passage actually tells us is that _____.A.businessmen usually do not pay more for advertising than they have toB.businessmen know well that advertising could bring them more profitsC.advertising couldn't convince people of the value of the goodsD.advertising usually costs businessmen large amounts of moneyPart IV: Translation from English into Chinese (10%)Directions: In this part, there are four items which you should translate into Chinese, each itemconsisting of one sentence.

However, what are the actual benefits and disadvantages of distance education? Potential benefits:The most obvious reasons for trying to get an online degree are time and money. With an online course, you can join a class, do assignments on the internet, and even communicate with classmates in chat rooms or on bulletin boards.Technology has even reached the point where students can interact with other students and the teacher through high-quality web conferencing. All of these activities can be done from the comfort of your home or laptop: any time, any place. Second, getting such a degree can, in some cases, be cheaper because you don’t have to pay costs related to an oversea adventure: air-tickets, housing, local transportation, etc. Potential disadvantages: For all these benefits, there are a number of disadvantages to this kind of learning. Above all else, you have to consider how a degree from an online school will be received by future employers because they might feel that the academic standards of such an online institution are not as high as a regular program. Second, you probably won’t have face-to-face contact with other students since everything is online. Such contact is very important in learning how to deal with many aspects of non-verbal communication that aren’t obvious in an online chat room.21.It is possible to get an online degree thanks to ____.A.the increasing distance of educationB.the improvement of personal computersC.the available option of technologiesD.the worldwide use of the Internet正确答案:D22.An online degree course allows you to _____.A.avoid disadvantages in learningB.meet fellow students in the classroomC.enjoy adventures abroadD.communicate with teachers and classmates正确答案:D23.The number-one disadvantage of getting an online degree is that _____.A.the course may take a long time to completeB.the degree may be less useful for finding a jobC.the study may provide little face to face contactD.the program may lower the academic standards正确答案:B24.The word “non-verbal”in the second line of the last paragraph means _____.A.not using wordsB.relating to wordsC.without actionD.not having verbs正确答案:A25.Which of the following could be the best title for the passage?A.Some suggestions for Getting an Online Degree.B.Advantages and Disadvantages of an Online Degree.C.An Analysis on Weaknesses of Distance Learning.D.A Comparison between Online and Regular Education.正确答案:BSales promotion is the process of persuading a potential customer to buy the product. It can be part of the personal selling process. The main methods of sales promotion are: Money off coupons—customers receive coupons, or cut coupons out of newspapers or a products packaging that enables them to buy the product next time at a reduced price. Competitions—buying the product will allow the customer to take part in a chance to win a prize (e.g. Coca Cola ring pulls). Discount vouchers—a voucher (like a money off coupon). Free gifts—a free product when buy another product. Point of sales materials—e.g. posters, display stands—ways of presenting the product in its best way or showing the customer that the product is there. Loyalty cards—e.g. Nectar and Air Miles; where customers earn points for buying certain goods or shopping at certain retailers—that can later be exchanged for money, goods or other offers. Loyalty cards have recently become an important form of sales promotion. They encourage the customer to return to the retailer by giving them discounts based on the spending from a previous visit. Loyalty card can offset the discounts they offer by making more sales and persuading the customer to come back.They also provide information about the shopping habits of customers—where do they shop, when and what do they buy?This is very valuable marketing research and can be used in the planning process for new andexisting products.26.Generally speaking, sales promotion aims to _____.A.win as many customers as possibleB.start a personal selling processC.sell some cheap products to customersD.distinguish potential customers正确答案:A27.Money-off coupons can be ____.A.got every time they go shoppingB.bought at a very low priceC.found on the products packagingD.printed on a 10 dollar note正确答案:C28.An airline company may most frequently use _____.A.free giftsB.money-off couponsC.loyalty cardsD.competition正确答案:C29.Which sales promotion form listed below gives customers discounts?A.Money-off couponsB.Point of sales materialsC.CompetitionsD.Free gifts正确答案:A30.Which of the following is NOT true about loyalty cards?A.The points earned for buying goods can sometimes be used as money.B.Loyalty cards enable the retailer to know customers’ shopping habits,C.Loyalty cards attract customers back to the same retailer.D.With no discount, loyalty cards can still make more sales.正确答案:D“It’s not what you know, but who you know that counts.”Thisoversimplified statement often angers those who believe that all it takes to get ahead is hard-work. However, you can’t ignore that there is some truth in the statement when it comes to looking for a job. In fact, the U.S. Department of Labor estimates that 48 percent of all job opportunities are made through personal networking. So the real question for job seekers is how to take advantage of this phenomenon. Positioning yourself to take the advantage of the benefits of networking is not that difficult. It only requires participation in social and business events, particularly those that relate to your professional objectives. It’s a three-step process: first, choosing a promising event to attend; second, once there, making sure you get your massage out; and third, sending a resume after a positive conversation. The ready-made social situations created by professional associations are obvious places to network. Almost every professional association portrays itself as a networking vehicle for matching jobs with prospective candidates. If you do not belong to a professional group, the act of joining one will get you in the door. Once inside, you have the opportunity to meet many influential people. Beyond the social and business gatherings, networking has recently taken a turn toward our electronic future.The Internet is becoming a networking medium for communication about job opportunities and job seekers.31.The first sentence in this passage most probably means that _____.A.the more people ydu know, the more you can learnB.ho one cares about what you have learnedC.personal networking is more important than knowledgeD.you should tell people who you know and what you know正确答案:C32.Networking may be achieved through _____.A.setting professional objectives clearlyB.participating in social and business eventsC.getting one’s message out in timeD.working very hard to get ahead正确答案:B33.Which of the following is NOT networking?A.Attending business and social events.B.Setting up professional objectives.C.Trying to meet influential people.D.Joining a professional group.正确答案:B34.This passage is mainly written for _____.A.business employeesB.professional groupsC.job huntersD.the U.S. Department of Labor正确答案:C35.The author of this passage encourages readers to ______A.take advantage of personal networkingB.ignore the phenomenon of networkingC.get ahead through their hard workD.replace social gatherings with the Internet正确答案:ABushfire (山火) victims have reacted angrily after being told they must present identification to get Federal Government assistance, despite most having lost everything. An open letter published in a News Limited newspaper this morning questioned the ability of Centrelink, the government-appointed agency, to quickly distribute the payments of $1,000 per adult and $400 per child. News Ltd journalist Gary Hughes, who escaped the fires at St Andrews, said when he and others fronted Centrelink on Monday they were told there would be no financial help Unless they could produce a driver’s license or bank statement. “What’s that meant to be, some cruel joke?”Mr. Hughes wrote. “Losing everything means just that—everything.There are many like us who didn’t have time to calmly pause to collect wallets and purses as we fled our homes with wet towels over our faces to avoid choking(窒息) to death”. Human Services Minster Joe Ludwig has apologized for the inconvenience and says all efforts are being made to ensure people get the help they need. “I don’t know the precise details but we are sorry if it did happen,”Senator Ludwig said. “We have instructed Centrelink to take the lightest possible approach in confirming identity.”He says while identification was helpful, a signature would be enough, adding that about 800 applicants for assistance had already received the money.36.Fire victims became angry when they learned that _____.A.Centrelink had no ability to distribute the moneyB.the financial help would not be delivered quicklyC.children will get much less money than adultsD.they must show identification to get the money正确答案:D37.The open letter is written by Gary Hughes, who .A.works for News LimitedB.thinks $1000 is not enoughC.has learned the story from the newspaperD.says Centrelink hasn’t got the money正确答案:A38.In the eyes of the victims, the demand for the identification is _____.A.inefficientB.unkindC.impracticalD.unnecessary正确答案:C39.When escaping from their homes, many people _____.A.were in a hurry to collect wallets and pursesB.were in too great a panic to think what to takeC.couldn’t find wet towels to avoid chokingD.didn’t take anything but wallets and purses正确答案:B40.The sentence “take the lightest possible approach in confirming identity”(Paragraph 7) means that _____.A.victims may sign a document to get new identificationB.identification will not be required for financial assistanceC.800 families will be allowed to get the money firstD.identity may be accepted without an official paper正确答案:DTranslation from English into Chinese41.(Paragraph 9, Passage 1) In the past centuries, Italian children would sometimes even be given wine to drink in preference to water which was often polluted.A.过了几个世纪,在水经常被污染的情况下,意大利孩子有时会喝加了葡萄酒的水。

四川省英语三级(英译汉)历年真题试卷汇编1(题后含答案及解析) 题型有: 4. Translation from English into ChineseTranslation from English into Chinese1.It is because they see acknowledging the existence of others as a way of avoiding being rude.A.因为他们意识到其他人的存在,所以自己不能粗鲁。

B.因为他们看见其他人的出现,因此自己不能粗俗。

C.这是因为他们看到承认其他人的存在就避免了粗俗。

D.这是因为他们认为,向他人问候是避免失礼的方式。

E.这是因为他们认为打招呼为的是不使自己显得粗俗。

正确答案:D解析:按照前面所讲方法,首先弄清句子结构,该句是It is引导的表语从句,从句中有一个固定搭配see…as…(把……视为,当做),接下来排除明显错误选项,即是否存在错译或漏译。

A、B、C项中将see翻译成“意识到”、“看见”“看到”是不妥的;文章第三段段首讲道:It is still the custom to say“Bonjour(how do you do)”and“Au revoir(goodbye)to one and all when entering or leaving a shop or bar.”根据上下文可以看出,acknowledging the existence of others(承认他人的存在)指的是向他人问候,这种表达更符合汉语的表达习惯。

E选项把“see…as a way of...”翻译成“为的是”,错在把“方式”翻译成了“目的”。

该句子的含义是:“这是因为他们将向他们打招呼视为避免(粗俗)失礼的方式”,所以D项是最佳选项。

2.Sixty people died in 84,crashes since 2000一more than double the number of crashes during the previous five years.A.2000年以来,84次飞机失事,60人遇难——是前5年死亡人数的两倍数。

Each passage is followed by five questions or unfinished statements. Fro each question, there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should chose the best answer. Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage oneIt is often difficult for visitors to understa nd Am ericans’ lack of desire for privacy. They are not a nation of walled gardens and closed gates. Their yards usually run into one another without any fence; they often visit one another’s house without being invited or telephoning first; they leave their office doors open while they work.Their lack of desire for privacy probably results from their history as a nation. America is a big country. There have never been walled cities in the United States, nor was there the need for Americans to protect themselves from neighbouring states.During the early years, America had so few settlers that neighbours were very important; they were not to be shut by doors and fences. Neighbours offered protection and helped with the hard work of settling the land. They depended upon each other.From the nation’s early history has come the desire for openness rather than privacy. Visitors will notice this desire in a number of small ways; there may be rooms in American homes that do not have doors or that have glass walls. If you notice that people forget to close your door when they leave your room, do not think that this is rude, help them to learn that you would like it to be closed, or else become accustomed to new ways. In either case, be patient with the differences.33. According to the passage, visitors to America sometimes have trouble understanding _____.A. American’s opennessB. American’s lack of desire for privacyC. American’s way of humorD. American’s style of life34. Which of the following is true?A.. People walled their yards with fences.B. The settlers in the early years needed neighbour’s help very much.C. People get used to American’s openness.D. It’s difficult to follow American way of life.35. During the early years, people were never shut out by doors because _____.A. they were neighboursB. they were friendsC. they depended upon each otherD. they got accustomed to that36. Visitors will notice American’s desire for openness in a way _____.A. they walled their house with glassB. they leave their office doors open while workingC. they never have fenceD. all above37. Which is the best title for this passage?A. No Walled Cities.B. The Early SettlersC. American’s Lack of Desire for PrivacyD. Be Patient with DifferencesPassage 2The murder took place around ten o'clock p.m. on June 10. Thirty-two people watched Kitty being killed right beneath their windows. She was their neighbour. Yet, none of the 32 helped her. Not even one called the police. Was this inhuman cruelty(狠心)? Was it lack of feeling for one's fellow man?“Not so,”say scientists Dr. Darley and Dr. Fatane. They've found the reasons why people don't act. According to them, a person has to go through two steps before he can help. First he has to notice there is an emergency(紧急情况).Suppose you see a middle-aged man fall onto the ground. Is he having a heart attack, or some other physical trouble? Or is he simply about to sleep off a drunk(醉酒)? So it's not always easy to tell if you are faced with a real emergency.Second and more important, the person faced with an emergency must feel himself responsible. He must feel that he must help.The researchers found that a lot depends on how manypeople are around. They asked college students to come in to be “tested”. Some came alone, so me with one or two others, and some in large groups. When they came in, either alone, in pairs, or in groups, a lady went into the next room. Soon the students heard a scream, the noise of something falling and a cry for help. All of this had been pre-recorded on a tape-recorder.Eight out of ten of the students taking the test alone acted to help. Of the students in pairs, only two out of ten helped. Of the students in groups, none helped.In other words, in a group, American often fail to act. They feel that others will act. They, themselves, needn't. They do not feel any direct responsibility.38. Why didn't the thirty-two people act to help Kitty according to the passage?A. Because they were afraid to be killed.B. Because they were cruel in their hearts.C. Because they thought others would help.D. Because they didn't notice the emergency.39. Which of the following is an emergency?A. Someone is falling onto the ground.B. Someone is having a heart attack.C. Someone is having a trouble.D. Someone is sleeping off a drunk.40. When a person notice an emergency, he must _____ before he acts to help.A. feel himself responsibleB. call the policeC. hear a cry for helpD. be with a group41. The result of the tests shows that _____.A. the more people there are together, the more people will act to helpB. college students would be more likely to help than ordinary AmericansC. the more people there are together, the fewer people will act to helpD. none of the tested students acted to help42. Americans don't _____ in a group.A. notice an emergencyB. go through two steps before they actC. depend on each otherD. feel direct responsibilityPassage 3The greatest changes have been in the lives of women. During the twenties century there has been a remarkable shortening of the time of woman’s life spent in caring for children. A woman marrying at the end of the nineteenth century would probably have been in her middle twenties, and would be likely to have seven or eight children, of whom four or five live till they were five years old. By the time the youngest was fifteen, the mother would have been in her early fifties and would expect to live a further twenty years, during which health made it unusual for her to get paid work. Today women marry younger and have fewer children. Usually a woman’s youngest child will be fifteen when she is forty-five and can be expected to live another thirty years and is likely to take paid work until retirement at sixty. Even while she has the care of children, her work is lightened by modern living conditions.This important change in women’s life pattern has only recently begun to have its full effe ct on women’s economicposition. Even a few years ago most girls left school at the first chance, and most of them took a full time job. However, when they married, they usually left work at once and never return to it. Today the school-leaving age is sixteen, many girls stay at school after that age, and though women usually marry younger, more married women stay at least until shortly before their first child is born. Very many more afterwards return to full or part-time job. Such changes have led to a new relationship in marriage, with the husband accepting a greater share of the duties and satisfactions of family life, and with both husband and wife sharing more equally in providing the money, and running the house, according to the abilities and interests of each of them.43. According to the passage, around the year 1900 most women married _____.A. at about twenty fiveB. in their early fiftiesC. as soon as possible after they were fifteenD. at any age from fifteen to forty-five44. We are told that in a common family in 1890s _____.A. seven or eight children lived to be more than fiveB. many children died before they were fiveC. the youngest child would be fifteenD. four or five children died when they were five45. When she was over fifty, the late nineteenth century mother _____.A.would be healthy enough to take part paid jobsB. was usually expected to die fairly soonC. was unlikely to find a job if she wanted oneD. would expect to work till she died46. According to the passage, the women of today usually_____.A. marry instead of getting paid workB. marry before they are twenty-fiveC. have more children under fifteenD. have too few children47. The best title for this passage is _____.A. Women’s lifeB.The Change of Women’s LifeC. Women’s MarriageD. Women’s New LifePassage 4Advertising can be thought of "as the means of making known in order to buy or sell goods or services". Advertising aims to increase people's awareness and arouse interest. It tries to inform and to persuade. The media are all used to spread the message, and the press offers a fairly cheap method. Magazines are used to reach special sections of the market. The cinema and commercial radio are useful for local markets. Television, although more expensive, can be very effective. Posters are fairly cheap and more permanent in their power of attraction. Other ways of increasing consumer interest are through exhibitions and trade fairs as well as direct mail advertising.We might ask whether the cost of advertising is paid for by the manufacturer or by the consumer. Since advertising forms part of the cost of production, which has to be covered by the selling price, it is clear that it is the customer who pays for advertising. However, if large scale advertising leads to increased demand, production costs are reduced, and the customer pays less.It is difficult to measure exactly the influence of advertisingon sales. When the market is growing, advertising helps to increase demand. When the market is shrinking, advertising may prevent a bigger fall in scales than would occur without its support. What is clear is that businesses would not pay large sums for advertising if they were not convinced of its value to them.48. Advertising is often used to _____.A. convince customersB. promote productionC. raise interestD. push the sales49. . According to the passage, trade fairs (Paragraph 1) may _____.A. replace exhibitions and marketsB. supply local goods and servicesC. attract possible customersD. provide cheap amusements50. Advertising is in the main paid for by _____.A. the customerB. the producerC. the increased salesD. the decreased costs51. The author says that advertising can increase demand _____.A. in any period of salesB. in any circumstancesC. in a growing marketD. in a shrinking market52. What the last sentence of this passage actually tells us is that _____.A. businessmen usually do not pay more for advertising than they have toB. businessmen know well that advertising could bring them more profitsC. advertising couldn't convince people of the value of the goodsD. advertising usually costs businessmen large amounts of moneyPart IV: Translation from English into Chinese (10%)Directions: In this part, there are four items which you should translate into Chinese, each item consisting of one sentence.

Each pass age is followed by five questions or unfinished statements. For each question, there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should choose the best answer. Then mark the c orresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage OneQuestions 33 to 37 are based on the following passage. Want to see a good film – without leaving the house? Well,just switch on the television. That’s fine for most of us, but people couldn’t do so 20 or 30 years age. A visit to the cinema was “an evening out,” a film was something spe cial. Young people still go to the cinema often. Children w atch a lot of television. Films and film stars are a strong force in our lives. So it is surprising how little film ed ucation there is in schools. Why don’t more children learn how films are made, and why they are made? The best film ed ucation is when children make a film of their own.This is not too difficult. Three things are important – th e cost, the idea of the film, and organization. A 4-minute film can cost as little asよ 10. Schools can hire the neces sary equipment. They can also borrow films that other child ren have made. This helps them to see what is possible in a short film. Children will be making the film, so the main ideas for the film must come form them. When these have bee n agreed, the organization begins. Someone must Write the f ilm and plan the filming. Some children will be actors, oth ers camera men, lighting men, technicians and so on. They a ll have to practice a lot before the film itself is made. T hey learn a great deal about the technical problems of film s, and about themselves.33. A film was once something special because ________.A) people had to go to the cinemaB) television was not so popular as nowC) people didn’t have to leave the houseD) there weren’t many films 20 or 30 years ago34. The word “This” (Line 1, Paragraph 2) refers to _____ ___.A) getting the idea of a filmB) learning how to make filmsC) organizing filming activitiesD) making a film by children themselves35. It is good for children to make their own films at scho ol becauseA) they can learn a lot about filming C) they can enterta in themselvesB) they like films and film stars D) they want to become film stars36. The author writes this passage mainly to tell us ______ __.A) the low cost of making filmsB) the important things in making filmsC) why and how to make films in schoolsD) whether to offer children film education37. We can conclude from the passage that ________.A) children can benefit a lot from making filmsB) it is necessary for children to go to the cinemaC) children spend too much time watching TVD) it is difficult for children to make films of their own Passage TwoQuestions 38 to 42 are based on the following passage. What is happening in our weather? Of course we have never b een able to predict exactly what the weather will be like, but now strange weather patterns are seriously affecting ma ny parts of the world. For example, droughts (旱灾) in Mexi co and Brazil have recently caused great crop losses and in the United States they have even had to make their own sno w for the Winter Olympics!Scientists have found that the cause of this strange weathe r is that the air circulation pattern has changed and is no w more variable than earlier in the twentieth century. This means that different regions of the world get long spells (持续时间) of the same type of weather, whether hot , cold, wet or windy.However, weather experts have different views about why this has happened. One theory is that the temperature of the s ea has increased. Another is that man’s activities on eart h have disturbed the balance of nature.Whatever the cause, the economics of many countries in the world depend upon the weather. And until we know exactly wh at effect man’s activities are having on the weather, we c annot make changes which might help. So for the moment the only answer is …wait and see !38. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the first paragraph?A) We have never predicted the weatherB) Man is now able to control the weatherC) Strange weather has appeared only in some North American countriesD) It has always been impossible for man to predict the wea ther accurately.39. The strange weather patterns on the earth can he best d escribed as ________.A) steady and balanced C) likely to cause serous disaster sB) changeable but predictable D) unpredictable but favorab le to man40. The word “affecting” in Paragraph 1 can be replaced b y ________.A) yielding good crops in C) causing few losses inB) having harmful effects on D) producing desired effects on41. We can learn from Paragraph 2 that ________.A) weather patterns are similar in different regions of the worldB) the air circulation pattern remains unchanged in the las t centuryC) our weather depends on the changes in the air circulatio n patternD) it is possible to predict weather patterns over a long p eriod of time42. It can be learned from this passage that ________.A) scientists have similar opinions about the changing weat herB) no one is sure about the cause of the changing weatherC) cutting down forests has affected the climateD) the weather will become worse in the futurePassage ThreeQuestions 43 to 47 are based on the following passage.The World Bank is one of the largest suppliers of developme nt assistance. Its main goal is to improve living condition s for poor people throughout the world. Last year, it provi ded more than seventeen-thousand-million dollars in loans t o developing countries to help end poverty.The money went to efforts like debt reduction for some of t he poorest countries in the world. That program was designe d to increase debt assistance and provide it faster than in the past. As a result, twenty-three countries received deb t assistance last year as compared to seven countries the y ear before.The World Bank does more than just provide loans, however. It believes that continued poverty reduction comes from inv esting in the people of a country – especially through edu cation and health programs.The World Bank employs engineers, economists, public policy experts and social scientists to create these kinds of pro grams. These professionals also provide developing countrie s with the necessary technical help to carry out the progra ms.The Bank has helped to make great progress in developing na tions, where life expectancy (寿命) has increased and babyand child deaths have decreased, and more adults now can re ad than in the past.However, protesters have held large demonstrations at recen t World Band meetings. Opponents say Bank programs make ind ustrial nations richer and developing nations poorer. Other s say the organization’s activities result in environmenta l damage.43. The World Bank aims mainly at ________.A) helping poor countries better their living conditionsB) becoming the largest supplier of development assistanceC) paying debts for some of the poorest countries in the wo rldD) providing loans for developing countries in order to make profits44. Last year the World Bank offered debt assistance to ___ _____.A) fewer poor countries C) more rich countriesB) fewer rich countries D) more poor countries45. Which of the following is probably NOT the way that the World Bank helps a country?A) Creating health programs. C) Educating the peopleB) Providing technical help D) Making profits in the country.46. According to the passage, opponents criticize the World Band because ________.A) it has helped the rich countries a great dealB) it has cared too much about the poor countriesC) it has widened the economic gaps between rich and poor c ountriesD) it has caused most of the world environmental pollution47. This passage is manly about ________.A) the management of the World BandB) the assistance programs of the World BandC) the achievements of the World BankD) the organization activities of the World BankPassage FourQuestion 48 to 52 are based on the following passage.He is a good observe, accurate, patient and objective and a pplies persistent and logical thought to the observations h e makes. He utilizes the facts he observes to the fullest e xtent. For example, trained observes obtain a very large am ount of information about a star (e.g. distance, mass, size, rate of movement etc.) mainly from the accurate analysis o f the simple lines that appear in a spectrum (光谱).He is skeptical (怀疑的) 0 he does not accept statements wh ich are not based on the most complete evidence available – and therefore rejects authority as the sole basis for tr uth. Scientists always check statements and make experiment s carefully and objectively to prove them.Furthermore, he is not only critical of the work of others, but also of his own, since he knows that man is the least reliable of scientific instruments and that a number of fac tors tend to disturb objective investigation.Lastly, he is highly imaginative since he often has to look for relationships in data which are not only complex but a lso frequently incomplete. Furthermore, he needs imaginatio n if he wants to make hypotheses(假设)of how processes wo rk and how events take place.These seem to be some of the ways in which a successful sci entist thinks and acts.48. What quality of a good observer is NOT mentioned in Par agraph 1?A) Intelligence B) Patience. C) Persistence. D) Objecti vity.49. We can learn from Paragraph 2 that a scientist believes that .A) no statements can be proved trueB) all statements may be misleadingC) authority is the sole basis for truthD) authority does not necessarily mean truth50. The word “them” (Line 4, Paragraph 2 ) refers to .A) statements B) experiments C) scientists D) authoritie s51.

The word “imaginative” (Line 1, Paragraph 4 ) most pr obably means .A) accurate and objective C) curious and seriousC) creative and inventive D) skeptical and critical Part IV: Translation from English into Chinese (10%) (15 m inutes)Directions: In this part, there are four items which you sh ould translate into Chinese, each item consisting of one se ntence.
