Read each passage carefully, and then do the questions that follow. Choose the best answer from the four choices marked byA, B, C, or D and mark the corresponding letter with a single bar across the squarebrackets on your machine-scoring Answer SheetPassage OneResearchers may have found a solution to the annoying gender-wage gap: tell all the male CEOs to have more babies. And only child daughters, to be precise.A new, not-yet-published study that tracked 12 years of wage data in Denmark finds that when male CEOs had daughters, their female employees’ wages went up 1.3 percent while their male employees only gained 0.8 percent raises. The study’s authors – from Aalborg University in Denmark, the University of Maryland, and Columbia – found that women’s wages were boosted even more if the daughter was the first child of the CEO. The researchers found that the birth of a first daughter to a male CEO “resulted in a 1.4 percent increase in women’s wages, and an approximately 0.8 percent decrease in the gender wage gap. If the first daughter was also a first child, the gender wage gap would decrease by roughly 2.8 percent.” If a second daughter was born to a male CEO, women’s wages were not significantly affected. “Thus, our results suggest that the first daughter ‘flips a switch’ in the mind of a male CEO, causing him to attend more to equality in gender-related wage policies,” they write.David Gaddis Ross, co-author of the study and an assistant professor at Columbia’s Business School, said he would love to do a similar study in the United States, but there is no way the data would be available. “Getting this information in the United States would be wildly difficult, especially on the family structure of the CEOs,”he said. The Denmark data did not reveal names of individuals or companies, but each employee of every company in the country is attached to a code that researchers could use to find gender, number of children, salary, and other information such as home address and phone number.The study is not the first to examine how having a daughter affects men’s decision-making. Ebonya Washington wrote in a study published in the American Economic Review in 2008 that U.S. legislators were more likely to vote more liberally on women’s reproductive issues if they had daughters. Another study found that parents with daughters were more likely to adopt feminist views on gender equality.51. According to the study, if the first child of the CEO was a daughter, the decrease of thegender wage gap was ________.A. 0.8%B. 1.3%C. 1.4%D. 2.8%52. The Denmark study finds that male CEOs with daughters may ________.A. better respect female privacyB. better promote gender equalityC. give more chances for womenD. hire more female employees53. According to David Ross, a similar study in the U.S. ________.A. will soon be underwayB. may produce similar resultsC. is unnecessary and costlyD. is unlikely to be carried out.54. Which of the following information about the CEOs is most difficult to get in the U.S.?A. Real income.B. Phone number.C. Family structure.D. Home address.55. The findings of the three studies mentioned in the passage ________.A. have little in commonB. seem to be confusingC. agree well with each otherD. are somewhat contradictory56. In which section of a newspaper is the passage likely to appear?A. People.B. Society.C. Technology.D. News.Passage twoVirtually nobody has memories from very early childhood – but it’s not because we don’t remain information as young children. Rather, it may be because at that age, our brains don’t yet function in a way that bundles information into the complex neural patterns that we know as memories.It’s clear that young children do remember facts in the moment – such as who their parents are, or that one must say “please”before mom will give you candy. This is called “semantic memory.”Until sometime between the ages two and four, however, children lack “episodic memory”–memory regarding the details of a specific event. Such memories are stored in several parts of the brains surface, or “cortex.” For example, memory of sound is processed in the auditory cortexes, on the sides of the brain, while visual memory is managed by the visual cortex, at the back. A region of the brain called the hippocampus (海马体) ties all the scattered pieces together.“If you think of your cortex as a flower bed, there are flowers all across the top of yourhead,” said Patricia Bauer of Emory University in Atlanta. “The hippocampus, tucked very neatly in the middle of your brain, is responsible for pulling those all together and tying them in a bouquet (花束).” The memory is the bouquet – the neural pattern of linkages between the parts of the brain where a memory is stored.So why do kids usually fail to record specific episodes until the two-to-four age range? It may be because that’s when the hippocampus starts tying fragments of information together, said psychologist Nora Newcombe of Temple University in Philadelphia. And there may be a reason for this, Newcombe said. Episodic memory may be unnecessarily complex at a time when a child is just learning how the world works. “I think the primary goal of the first two years is to acquire semantic knowledge and from that point of view, episodic memory might actually be a distraction,”Newcombe said.57. It can be learned that children under the age of two ________.A. have memory of detailed eventsB. have the ability to remember factsC. retain little information in their brainsD. process information the same way adults do58. Which of the following is an example of “episodic memory”?A. Brides remember what happened on their weddings.B. Little kids remember their parents’ names.C. We remember to wash hands before meals.D. We remember to say “Thank you” for others’ help.59. Memory of image is processed ________.A. in the middle of the brainB. on the left side of the brainC. on the right side of the brainD. at the back of the brain60. Assume that our cortex is a flower bed, then hippocampus is ________.A. the flowers grown in the flower bedB. the stimulator that helps the flowers growC. the string that ties the flowers into a bouquetD. the bouquet made of the flowers in the bed61. According to Newcombe, if episodic memory were developed before agetwo, it would ________.A. negatively affect children’s learning processB. help children better understand our worldC. push children to learn more quicklyD. bring children’s development to a halt62. What is the major topic of the passage?A. How kids develop their memory.B. Why can’t we remember our very early days?C. How is memory processed by the brain?D. Why kids’ memory differs from that of adults.Passage ThreeIs new technology damaging our ability to communicate? Fingers flying, we can blog, email, or enter chat room. But as we type billions of words, something is being lost. Face-book is not the same as face to face and, as our virtual skills increase, I wonder if our ability to communicate using speech is on the decline.Young people send me dozens of e-mails from schools. They often attach long lists of questions, to which they want detailed responses. Time is short, so I usually reply that they can phone me and I’ll do my best to answer. They very rarely do, partly because they verbal and telephone skills are less developed than their ability to type and e-mail.Yet to adapt an old business saying, a meeting is worth five phone calls and a phone call is worth five e-mails. Direct communication can quickly lead to bonding and trust. People are more likely to reveal what they are thinking when they actually speak to another person. Most are wary of committing themselves in writing.The great tragedy is that the phone was invented before the computer. If it has been the other way around, Internet forums would now be buzzing with the exciting news: “Have you heard (type, type)? There is this amazing new gadget (type). Now you can talk directly with people. And they can hear your voice. Without all this typing.” Persistent marketing would do the rest and colleges would be rushing to develop new courses in telephone skills.But we are stuck with the supremacy of the typed word and it weakens our ability to look people in the eye and talk. A good example is how much new technology has affected public speaking.Does anyone else hate PowerPoint? At meetings, I internally groan as speakers load up their ponderous projections. I don’t mind maps and pictures, but all those words of text drive me crazy. “And now for my introduction…” and up comes the word “introduction.”“There are four points” and we see “four points.”Masses of facts and statistics follow. These should all have been given out as an information sheet. Instead, while you are trying to read through the material, the lecturer is wandering verbally all over it. There’s a confusion of focus that gives me a headache. As the slides flash by, the most important relationship in public speaking is being undermined – the link between the speaker and the audience.63. According to the author, young people today don’t ________.A. like to communicate using speechB. like to communicate with peopleC. know how to communicate with peopleD. know how to ask questions over the phone64. Based on paragraph 3, compared with meetings, e-mails are ________.A. fasterB. friendlierC. less effectiveD. less interesting65. In paragraph 3, “wary of” can be replaced by ________.A. faced withB. happy aboutC. used toD. cautious of66. The author believes that if the phone had been invented after the computer, people nowwould ________.A. be eager to learn how to use the phoneB. be glad to have both means of communicationC. still prefer typing words on the computerD. show little interesting in the phone67. Which of the following can best describe the author’s attitude towards today’s use of typedwords?A. EncouragingB. CuriousC. ConcernedD. Indifferent68. In the author’s opinion, PowerPoint ________.A. helps to convey the message of the speaker to the audienceB. harm the interaction between the speaker and the audienceC. should include as much information as necessaryD. should combine texts and pictures to make it eye-catchingPassage FourIt’s all Apple all the time these days: “astonishing” earnings reports in the news on Jan.25, lingering shots of Steve Jobs’ widow Laurene sitting near the First Lady and, of course, ever since his death in October, universal references to Jobs himself in any writing or speech aimed at promoting creativity or ingenuity or an all-American, against-all-odds model of success.However, New Y ork Times articles this week spoke of a darker reality behind the glowing Apple story: the “millions of human machines,” as the Times Charles Duhigg and David Barboza put it, in China who are now laboring 12 hours a day, six days a week to maintain the company’s amazing rate of growth.They live in dormitories where they can be called to their jobs anytime and often work double shifts in highly unsafe conditions. They’re willing to do all it takes. “It isn’t just that workers are cheaper abroad,” Duhigg wrote, “Rather, Apple’s executives believe the vast scale of overseas factories as well as the flexibility, diligence and expertise of foreign workers have so outpaced their American counterparts that ‘Made in the U.S.A.’ is no longer a viable option for most Apple products.”The Times stories raised very serious questions about not only Apple or the many other companies that similarly rely on overseas labor to support their growth and flood the world with cheap products, but the human cost of the growth model itself that has allowed Apple to thrive. It’s a model of growth, all too unquestioned in the U.S., that demands endless quality-of-life sacrifices in the service of productivity and profit. By quality of life, I mean good relationships with friends and family and having the time and the physical and emotional availability to invest in friends and family.Yet the American workers have been headed in the opposite direction for decades. Workinghours have expanded to the point where successful professionals consider the traditional 40-hour workweek a “part-time”job. Vacation time has been shrinking. In the current downturn, the employed are too scared of losing work to take time off. The pressure to be super-productive, ever willing, and always available has never been greater. But we should call into question the direction we’re headed and ask whether chasing the dream of growth has already turned into a nightmare. It’s up to the rest of us now to decide what to make of Steve Jobs’ legacy.69. It can be concluded from the first paragraph that Steve Jobs ________.A. is a controversial figure in the mediaB. enjoys high publicity in the U.S.C. used to deliver many speechesD. was a Nobel Prize winner70. The expression “against all odds” in the first paragraph probably means ________.A. foreign bornB. least talentedC. permanently obscureD. seemingly unlikely71. Apple’s executives choose to have most apple products made overseas because ________.A. goods made in the U.S.A. are inferiorB. Apple products sell better abroadC. this is much more profitableD. China-made products are better designed72. In the author’s opinion, the constant pursuit of the dream of growth has resulted in _______.A. better living standards in the U.S.B. a perfect model of growthC. worse relationships with friends and familyD. the popularity of iProducts73. Which of the following statements about the workers is true?A. They are spending more time with the family.B. They are enjoying a better quality of life.C. They can find jobs more easily.D. They have to work hard and overtime.74. The author’s attitude to Apple’s story of success is ________.A. approvalB. objectionC. admirationD. indifferencePassage FiveA new website from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) shows that 10 percent of the country is now a “food desert.”The Food Desert Locator is an online map highlighting thousands of areas where, the USDA says, low-income families have little or no access to healthy fresh food. First identified in Scotland in the 1990s, food deserts have come to symbolize urban decay. They suggest images of endless fast-food restaurants and convenience stores serving fatty, sugary junk food to overweight customers who have never tasted a Brussels sprout.Accordingly, Michelle Obama announced a $400 million Healthy Food Financing Initiative last year with the aim of eliminating food deserts nationwide by 2017. Official figures for the number of people living in food deserts already show a decline, from 23.5m in 2009 to 13.5m at the launch of the website. Although this might on the face of it suggest that the initiative is off to a superb start, sadly it does not in fact represent a single additional banana bought or soda escaped. This is because in America, the definition of a food desert is any census area where at least 20percent of inhabitants are below the poverty line and 33 percent live more than a mile from a supermarket. By simply extending the cutoff in rural areas to ten miles, the USDA managed to rescue 10m people from desert life.Some academics would go further, calling the appearance of many food deserts nothing but a mirage. Research by the Center for Public Health Nutrition at the University of Washington found that only 15 percent of people shopped for food within their own census area. Critics also note that focusing on supermarkets means that the USDA ignores tens of thousands of larger and smaller retailers, farmers’ markets and roadside greengrocers, many of which are excellent sources of fresh food. Together, they account for more than half of the country’s trillion-dollar retail food market.A visit to Renton, a depressed suburb of Seattle, demonstrates the problem. The town sits directly in the middle of a USDA food desert stretching miles in every direction. Yet it is home to a roadside stand serving organic fruit and vegetables, a health-food shop packed with nutritious grains and a superstore that researchers found attracts flocks of shoppers from well outside the desert.75. According to the USDA, food deserts ________.A. tend to be found in poor rural areasB. refer to the places with a food shortageC. are directly related to urban povertyD. are the direct cause of overweight76. The Healthy Food Financing Initiative is intended to ________.A. improve access to healthier foodB. change the American way of livingC. address the growing weight problemD. ensure food safety across the nation77. The author suggests that the drop from 23.5 million to 13.5 million ________.A. represents substantial progressB. is at least a good beginningC. isn’t based on true informationD. doesn’t make much difference78. The word “mirage” (para.3) probably means ________.A. unreal problemB. potential riskC. growing difficultyD. hidden danger79. The scholars in paragraph 3 think that the USDA definition of a food desert is ________.A. justifiableB. problematicC. unclearD. creative80. Renton is mentioned in the passage to ________.A. raise public awareness about food desertsB. highlight the problems of food desertsC. point out the solutions to food desertsD. tell us to put food deserts in perspective。

He was saying such things as 'kick ball'and'want car', and using lots of one-word sentences. He should have been saying some really long sentences andtelling stories with them. He wasn't. Something had gone trribly wrong.Quite a few children have what is called a'languagedelay'. For some reason they don't learn to speak as quickly as they should. Their friends shoot ahead and they' re left behind. As a result, they get very 1onely.Nobody wants to talk to you if you can't talk back.Can anything be done to help these children? Yes. They can go to see a speech therapist--a person who's specially trained to work out what's wrong and who knows how to teach language to children. This is what happened to Tom.The speeh therpist played some games with him and heard how he talked. She made a recording of his speech, and chattedto his mom and dad about his background. They'd taken Tom to see a doctor, but the doctor hadn't found anything wrong with him. He seemed peretly normal in every way-except he just wasn talking.Afer Tom and his parents had gone home, the therapist listened carefully to the recording she'd made. Then she looked at a chart which showed how language developed inchildren aged two, three, and four. She could see Tom was a long way behind.The next step, she deided, was to teach Tom how to say some new sentences like'kick a red ball,'and'the clownis kicking a ball.'Tom didn't get the new sentences right straight away.But therapist was very patient,and after a few more visit he started to make progress.40.How did the author introduce the topic of this passage?A.By describing grammar errors made by kids.B.By sharing experiences of speech therapists.C.By using Tom's case as an example.D.By stating his personal views to readers.41.What can be infered from the passage about“1anguage delay?A.It can be prevented by doctors.B.It is seldom found among children.C.It can be improved with certain help.D.It may result from hearing problems.42.What did the speech therapist do to help Tom?A.She told others that Tom was normal in every way.B.She asked Tom to play with some other children.C.She made some recordings of his parents'speech.D.She taught Tom new sentences in a patient way.43.What is the best title for the passage?A.What Can Doctors Do with Language Delay?B.What Can Be Done about Kids with Language Delay?C.How Can Language Delay Be Easily Detected?D.How Can Parents Prevent Kids from Language Delay?On a dry and cold Friday afenoon last October,Sharon Seline exchanged text messages with her daugher who was in college.They'chatted'back and forh,with the mom asking how things were going and the daugher answering psitively flowed by enotions(表情符)showing smils,b-i-g smiles and hearts.Later that night,her daughter attempted suicide.In the days that followed,it came to light that she'd hidden herself in her dorm,crying and showing signs ofdepression-a completely different reality from the one that she conveyed in text and Facebook posts.As human beings,our only real method of connection is through real communication.Studies show that only7%of communication is based on writing and spraking.The ma jority of 93%is based on body language.Indeed,it's only when we can heard a tone of voice or look into someone's eyes that we're able to know when'I'm fine'doesn't mean they're fine all. This is where social media gets risky.With modem technology,anyone can hide beind the text,the e-mail,or the Facebook post,projecting any image they want and creating a false image of their choosing.They can be whoever they want to be.And without the ability toreceive body language,their audiences are none the wiser. This presents a paradox which doesn't exist before.With all the power social technologies at our fingertips,we are more connected-and potentially more disconnected-than ever betore.Every relevant metric(衡量标准)shows that we are interacting at a great speed and frequency through social media.But are we really communicating?With 93%of ourcommunication context(语境)lost,we are now attempting to establish relationships and make decisions based on phrases or emoticons,which may or may not accurately represent the truth.44.Why does social media get risky according to the author?A.The users'social connection is lost.B.The users'messages may be ignored.C.The users'real emotion may be hidden.D.The users'voices can hardy be heard.45.What phenomenon does the underlined word“paradox'(Paragraph 7)reflect?A.People can be both happy and unhappy.B.People can be both connected and disconnected.C.People can end up being both wise and stupid.D.People can form both true and false impressions.46.What is true about today's communication through social media?A.It causes more health risks.B.It gives litle communication context.C.It leads to better relationships.D.It improves the quality of interaction.47.What is the best title for the passage?A.Social Media and Its FunctionB.Social Media and Its AbusesC.Social Media and Its FutureD.Social Media and Its RisksAlan Lakein,a time management expert,thinks that nothing is a total waste of time,including doing nothing at times.If you arrange things so that you find time to relax and'do nothing', you will get more done and have more fun doing it.One of his clients,a space engineer, didn't know how to 'do nothing'. Every minute of his leisure time was scheduled with intense activities. He had an outdoor-activites schedule in which he switched from skiing to tennis. His girlfriend kept up with him in these activities, although she wouldhave preferred just to sit by the fire and relax once in a while. Like too many people, he felt the need to be doing something all the time, for doing nothing seemed a waste of time. His 'relaxing by the fire'consisted of playing chess, reading magazines, or checking emails.For an experiment, Alan asked him to'waste'his time for five minutes during one of their sessions together.What the engineer ended up doing was relaxing, stting quietly and daydreaming. When he was finally able to admit that emotional reasons caused him to reject relaxing as waste of time, he began to look more critically at that way of thinking. Once he knew that relaxing was a good use oftime, he became less serious about being busy and started enjoying each activity more. Previously he had been so busy doing that he had no time to have fun at anything. He began to do less and have more fun. When Alan saw the client about three years later, he still had as busy a schedule a sever, but he was able to balance his activity with relaxing so that he came back to work Monday morning not feeling tired out from a busy weekend but refreshed.48. What did'doing nothing'mean to the space engineer at first?A. Outdoor activities.B.A waste of time.C. Few daily schedules.D. More family hours.49. What made the engineer reject relaxing?A. Social reasons.B. Family reasons.C. Emotional reasons.D. Physical reasons.50. What happened after the engineer learned 'doing nothing?A. He was not as busy as before.B. He began to en joy each activity more.C.He started to do more of everything.D.He did not have as much fun as before.51.What can be inferned from the passage about“doing nothing'?A.It makes people enjoy more indoor activities.B.It enables you to have more work time.C.It serves to improve family relationship.D.It helps you do things more efficiently.Socrates is often referred to as one of the founders of Western philosophy,and yet he wrote nothing,established no school,and held no particular theories of his own.What he did do,however,was frequently ask the questions that interested him,and in doing so developed a new way of thinking.This method proceeds(展开)as a dialogue between opposing views,and it earned him many enemies in Athens,where he lived.As a young man,Socrates is believed to have studied natural philosophy,looking at the various explanations of the nature of the universe,but then became involved in the politics of the city-state and concerned with more down-to-earth moral issues,such as the nature of justice.However,he was not interested in winning arguments,or arguing for the sake of making money.Nor was he seeking answers or explanations.He was simply examining the basis of the concepts we apply to ourselves(such as “good',“bad”,and“just'),for he believed that understanding what we are is the first task of philosophy.He was sentenced to death on charges of corrupting the young with bad ideas.But he also had many followers,and among them was Plato,who recorded Socrates'ideas in the written works,called dialogues,in which Socrates sets about examining various ideas.Socrates'central concern,then,was the examination of life,and it was his cruel questioning of people's most valued beliefs(largely about themselves)that earned him his enemies-but he remained committed to his task until the very end.According to the account of his defense at his trial,Socrates chose death rather than face a life of ignorance:'The life which is unexamined is not worth living”.52.What is true about Socrates?A.Socrates solved the problems of Western philosophy.B.Socrates tried to find answers to his questions.C.Socrates forced his enemies to accept his ideas.D.Socrates cared about the meaning of life.53.What is the most important task of philosophy according to Socrates?A.Understanding our true self.B.Examining some basic concepts.C.Challenging the views of enemies.D.Giving explanations for arguments.54.What is the passage mainly about?A.Socrates'beliefs of philosophy.B.Socrates'outlook on death,C.Socrates'influence on youths.D.Socrates'questions about universe.55.What is the tone of the passage?A.Humorous.B.Bitter.C.Sympathetic.D.Objective.V.Daily Conversation(15 points)Directions:Pick out appropriate expressions from the eight choices below and complete the following dialogues by blackening the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.A.Sounds great!B.This is our first trip here.C.When shall we set off?D.Could you recommend some places for us?E.You are welcome.F.What could I get?G.Have great fun.H.Is there anything interesting there?Receptionist:Good morning!Mr.Smith:Good morning!Today we are free for sightseeing.56 Receptionist:Okay.Have you ever been here before?Mr.Smith:No. 57 Receptionist:Then,I suggest that you visit the Ancient Cultural Street.Mr.Smith: 58 Receptionist:Yes.The architectureis wonderful.It represents the folk style of the Qing Dynasty.Mr.Smith: 59 Thank you very much.Receptionist: 60 Have a good time!第Ⅱ卷(非选择题,共25分)VI.Writing(25 points)Directions:For this part,you are supposed to write an e-mail in about 100-120 words based on the following situation.Remember to write it clearly.61.新学期伊始,你们班准备组织一场迎新晚会,让同学们熟悉起来。

Read each passage carefully, and then do the questions that follow. Choose the best answer from the four choices marked byA, B, C, or D and mark the corresponding letter with a single bar across the squarebrackets on your machine-scoring Answer SheetPassage OneResearchers may have found a solution to the annoying gender-wage gap: tell all the male CEOs to have more babies. And only child daughters, to be precise.A new, not-yet-published study that tracked 12 years of wage data in Denmark finds that when male CEOs had daughters, their female employees’ wages went up 1.3 percent while their male employees only gained 0.8 percent raises. The study’s authors – from Aalborg University in Denmark, the University of Maryland, and Columbia – found that women’s wages were boosted even more if the daughter was the first child of the CEO. The researchers found that the birth of a first daughter to a male CEO “resulted in a 1.4 percent increase in women’s wages, and an approximately 0.8 percent decrease in the gender wage gap. If the first daughter was also a first child, the gender wage gap would decrease by roughly 2.8 percent.” If a second daughter was born to a male CEO, women’s wages were not significantly affected. “Thus, our results suggest that the first daughter ‘flips a switch’ in the mind of a male CEO, causing him to attend more to equality in gender-related wage policies,” they write.David Gaddis Ross, co-author of the study and an assistant professor at Columbia’s Business School, said he would love to do a similar study in the United States, but there is no way the data would be available. “Getting this information in the United States would be wildly difficult, especially on the family structure of the CEOs,”he said. The Denmark data did not reveal names of individuals or companies, but each employee of every company in the country is attached to a code that researchers could use to find gender, number of children, salary, and other information such as home address and phone number.The study is not the first to examine how having a daughter affects men’s decision-making. Ebonya Washington wrote in a study published in the American Economic Review in 2008 that U.S. legislators were more likely to vote more liberally on women’s reproductive issues if they had daughters. Another study found that parents with daughters were more likely to adopt feminist views on gender equality.51.

Rather, it may be because at that age, our brains don’t yet function in a way that bundles information into the complex neural patterns that we know as memories.It’s clear that young children do remember facts in the moment – such as who their parents are, or that one must say “please”before mom will give you candy. This is called “semantic memory.”Until sometime between the ages two and four, however, children lack “episodic memory”–memory regarding the details of a specific event. Such memories are stored in several parts of the brains surface, or “cortex.” For example, memory of sound is processed in the auditory cortexes, on the sides of the brain, while visual memory is managed by the visual cortex, at the back. A region of the brain called the hippocampus (海马体) ties all the scattered pieces together.“If you think of your cortex as a flower bed, there are flowers all across the top of yourhead,” said Patricia Bauer of Emory University in Atlanta. “The hippocampus, tucked very neatly in the middle of your brain, is responsible for pulling those all together and tying them in a bouquet (花束).” The memory is the bouquet – the neural pattern of linkages between the parts of the brain where a memory is stored.So why do kids usually fail to record specific episodes until the two-to-four age range? It may be because that’s when the hippocampus starts tying fragments of information together, said psychologist Nora Newcombe of Temple University in Philadelphia. And there may be a reason for this, Newcombe said. Episodic memory may be unnecessarily complex at a time when a child is just learning how the world works. “I think the primary goal of the first two years is to acquire semantic knowledge and from that point of view, episodic memory might actually be a distraction,”Newcombe said.57. It can be learned that children under the age of two ________.A. have memory of detailed eventsB. have the ability to remember factsC. retain little information in their brainsD. process information the same way adults do58. Which of the following is an example of “episodic memory”?A. Brides remember what happened on their weddings.B. Little kids remember their parents’ names.C. We remember to wash hands before meals.D. We remember to say “Thank you” for others’ help.59. Memory of image is processed ________.A. in the middle of the brainB. on the left side of the brainC. on the right side of the brainD. at the back of the brain60. Assume that our cortex is a flower bed, then hippocampus is ________.A. the flowers grown in the flower bedB. the stimulator that helps the flowers growC. the string that ties the flowers into a bouquetD. the bouquet made of the flowers in the bed61. According to Newcombe, if episodic memory were developed before agetwo, it would ________.A. negatively affect children’s learning processB. help children better understand our worldC. push children to learn more quicklyD. bring children’s development to a halt62. What is the major topic of the passage?A. How kids develop their memory.B. Why can’t we remember our very early days?C. How is memory processed by the brain?D. Why kids’ memory differs from that of adults.Passage ThreeIs new technology damaging our ability to communicate? Fingers flying, we can blog, email, or enter chat room. But as we type billions of words, something is being lost. Face-book is not the same as face to face and, as our virtual skills increase, I wonder if our ability to communicate using speech is on the decline.Young people send me dozens of e-mails from schools. They often attach long lists of questions, to which they want detailed responses. Time is short, so I usually reply that they can phone me and I’ll do my best to answer. They very rarely do, partly because they verbal and telephone skills are less developed than their ability to type and e-mail.Yet to adapt an old business saying, a meeting is worth five phone calls and a phone call is worth five e-mails. Direct communication can quickly lead to bonding and trust. People are more likely to reveal what they are thinking when they actually speak to another person. Most are wary of committing themselves in writing.The great tragedy is that the phone was invented before the computer. If it has been the other way around, Internet forums would now be buzzing with the exciting news: “Have you heard (type, type)? There is this amazing new gadget (type). Now you can talk directly with people. And they can hear your voice. Without all this typing.” Persistent marketing would do the rest and colleges would be rushing to develop new courses in telephone skills.But we are stuck with the supremacy of the typed word and it weakens our ability to look people in the eye and talk. A good example is how much new technology has affected public speaking.Does anyone else hate PowerPoint? At meetings, I internally groan as speakers load up their ponderous projections. I don’t mind maps and pictures, but all those words of text drive me crazy. “And now for my introduction…” and up comes the word “introduction.”“There are four points” and we see “four points.”Masses of facts and statistics follow. These should all have been given out as an information sheet. Instead, while you are trying to read through the material, the lecturer is wandering verbally all over it. There’s a confusion of focus that gives me a headache. As the slides flash by, the most important relationship in public speaking is being undermined – the link between the speaker and the audience.63. According to the author, young people today don’t ________.A. like to communicate using speechB. like to communicate with peopleC. know how to communicate with peopleD. know how to ask questions over the phone64. Based on paragraph 3, compared with meetings, e-mails are ________.A. fasterB. friendlierC. less effectiveD. less interesting65. In paragraph 3, “wary of” can be replaced by ________.A. faced withB. happy aboutC. used toD. cautious of66. The author believes that if the phone had been invented after the computer, people nowwould ________.A. be eager to learn how to use the phoneB. be glad to have both means of communicationC. still prefer typing words on the computerD. show little interesting in the phone67. Which of the following can best describe the author’s attitude towards today’s use of typedwords?A. EncouragingB. CuriousC. ConcernedD. Indifferent68. In the author’s opinion, PowerPoint ________.A. helps to convey the message of the speaker to the audienceB. harm the interaction between the speaker and the audienceC. should include as much information as necessaryD. should combine texts and pictures to make it eye-catchingPassage FourIt’s all Apple all the time these days: “astonishing” earnings reports in the news on Jan.25, lingering shots of Steve Jobs’ widow Laurene sitting near the First Lady and, of course, ever since his death in October, universal references to Jobs himself in any writing or speech aimed at promoting creativity or ingenuity or an all-American, against-all-odds model of success.However, New Y ork Times articles this week spoke of a darker reality behind the glowing Apple story: the “millions of human machines,” as the Times Charles Duhigg and David Barboza put it, in China who are now laboring 12 hours a day, six days a week to maintain the company’s amazing rate of growth.They live in dormitories where they can be called to their jobs anytime and often work double shifts in highly unsafe conditions. They’re willing to do all it takes. “It isn’t just that workers are cheaper abroad,” Duhigg wrote, “Rather, Apple’s executives believe the vast scale of overseas factories as well as the flexibility, diligence and expertise of foreign workers have so outpaced their American counterparts that ‘Made in the U.S.A.’ is no longer a viable option for most Apple products.”The Times stories raised very serious questions about not only Apple or the many other companies that similarly rely on overseas labor to support their growth and flood the world with cheap products, but the human cost of the growth model itself that has allowed Apple to thrive. It’s a model of growth, all too unquestioned in the U.S., that demands endless quality-of-life sacrifices in the service of productivity and profit. By quality of life, I mean good relationships with friends and family and having the time and the physical and emotional availability to invest in friends and family.Yet the American workers have been headed in the opposite direction for decades. Workinghours have expanded to the point where successful professionals consider the traditional 40-hour workweek a “part-time”job. Vacation time has been shrinking. In the current downturn, the employed are too scared of losing work to take time off. The pressure to be super-productive, ever willing, and always available has never been greater. But we should call into question the direction we’re headed and ask whether chasing the dream of growth has already turned into a nightmare. It’s up to the rest of us now to decide what to make of Steve Jobs’ legacy.69. It can be concluded from the first paragraph that Steve Jobs ________.A. is a controversial figure in the mediaB. enjoys high publicity in the U.S.C. used to deliver many speechesD. was a Nobel Prize winner70. The expression “against all odds” in the first paragraph probably means ________.A. foreign bornB. least talentedC. permanently obscureD. seemingly unlikely71. Apple’s executives choose to have most apple products made overseas because ________.A. goods made in the U.S.A. are inferiorB. Apple products sell better abroadC. this is much more profitableD. China-made products are better designed72. In the author’s opinion, the constant pursuit of the dream of growth has resulted in _______.A. better living standards in the U.S.B. a perfect model of growthC. worse relationships with friends and familyD. the popularity of iProducts73. Which of the following statements about the workers is true?A. They are spending more time with the family.B. They are enjoying a better quality of life.C. They can find jobs more easily.D. They have to work hard and overtime.74. The author’s attitude to Apple’s story of success is ________.A. approvalB. objectionC. admirationD. indifferencePassage FiveA new website from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) shows that 10 percent of the country is now a “food desert.”The Food Desert Locator is an online map highlighting thousands of areas where, the USDA says, low-income families have little or no access to healthy fresh food. First identified in Scotland in the 1990s, food deserts have come to symbolize urban decay. They suggest images of endless fast-food restaurants and convenience stores serving fatty, sugary junk food to overweight customers who have never tasted a Brussels sprout.Accordingly, Michelle Obama announced a $400 million Healthy Food Financing Initiative last year with the aim of eliminating food deserts nationwide by 2017. Official figures for the number of people living in food deserts already show a decline, from 23.5m in 2009 to 13.5m at the launch of the website. Although this might on the face of it suggest that the initiative is off to a superb start, sadly it does not in fact represent a single additional banana bought or soda escaped. This is because in America, the definition of a food desert is any census area where at least 20percent of inhabitants are below the poverty line and 33 percent live more than a mile from a supermarket. By simply extending the cutoff in rural areas to ten miles, the USDA managed to rescue 10m people from desert life.Some academics would go further, calling the appearance of many food deserts nothing but a mirage. Research by the Center for Public Health Nutrition at the University of Washington found that only 15 percent of people shopped for food within their own census area. Critics also note that focusing on supermarkets means that the USDA ignores tens of thousands of larger and smaller retailers, farmers’ markets and roadside greengrocers, many of which are excellent sources of fresh food. Together, they account for more than half of the country’s trillion-dollar retail food market.A visit to Renton, a depressed suburb of Seattle, demonstrates the problem. The town sits directly in the middle of a USDA food desert stretching miles in every direction. Yet it is home to a roadside stand serving organic fruit and vegetables, a health-food shop packed with nutritious grains and a superstore that researchers found attracts flocks of shoppers from well outside the desert.75. According to the USDA, food deserts ________.A. tend to be found in poor rural areasB. refer to the places with a food shortageC. are directly related to urban povertyD. are the direct cause of overweight76. The Healthy Food Financing Initiative is intended to ________.A. improve access to healthier foodB. change the American way of livingC. address the growing weight problemD. ensure food safety across the nation77. The author suggests that the drop from 23.5 million to 13.5 million ________.A. represents substantial progressB. is at least a good beginningC. isn’t based on true informationD. doesn’t make much difference78. The word “mirage” (para.3) probably means ________.A. unreal problemB. potential riskC. growing difficultyD. hidden danger79. The scholars in paragraph 3 think that the USDA definition of a food desert is ________.A. justifiableB. problematicC. unclearD. creative80. Renton is mentioned in the passage to ________.A. raise public awareness about food desertsB. highlight the problems of food desertsC. point out the solutions to food desertsD. tell us to put food deserts in perspective。

2020年整合成人本科学士学位英语统一考试(B)名师精品资料

2020年整合成人本科学士学位英语统一考试(B)名师精品资料

成人本科学士学位英语统一考试(B)2009.11.21Part I Reading Comprehension (30%)Directions: There are three passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Y ou should decide on the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:The fourth-graders at Chicago's McCormick Elementary School don't know Chinese is supposed to be hard to learn. For most, who speak Spanish at home, it's becoming their third language. They'v e been heating and using Chinese words since nursery, and it's n atural to give a “ni hao” when strangers enter the classroom.“It's really fun!” says Miranda Lucas, taking a break from a lesson that includes a Chinese interview with Jackie Chan. “I'm teaching my mom to speak Chinese.”The classroom scene at McCormick is unusual, but it may soon be a common phenomenon in American schools, where Chinese is rapidly becoming the hot new language. Government officials have long wanted more focus on useful languages like Chinese, and pressure from them —— as well as from business leaders, politicians, and parents —— has produced a quick growth in the number of programs.Chicago city officials make their best effort to include Chinese in their public schools. Their program has grown to include 3,000 students in 20 schools, with more schools on a waiting list. Programs have also spread to places like Los Angeles, New Y ork City, and North Carolina. Supporters see knowledge of the Chinese language and culture as an advantagein a global economy where China is growing in importance. “This is an interes ting way to begin to engage with the world's next superpower,” says Michael Levine, direct or of education at the Asia Society, which has started five new public high schools that offer Chinese. “Globalization has already changed the arrangements in terms of how children today are going to think about their ca reers, The question is when, not whe ther, the schools are going to adjust.”(76)The number of students leaming Chinese is tiny compared with how many study Spanish or French. But one report shows that before-college enrollment (报名人数)nearly quadrupled between 1992 and 2002, from 6,000 to 24,000. Despite the demand, though, developing programs isn't easy. And the No. one difficulty, everyone agrees, is having enough teachers. Finding teacher “is the challenge,” says Scott McGinnis, an academic adviser for a language institute and a Chinese t eacher for 15 years at the college level. “Materials are easy comparison. Or getting schools funded.”1. The best title for this passage might be_____.A. Next Hot Language to Study: ChineseB. Next Hot Language to Study: SpanishC.Next Hot Language to Study: FrenchD. Chicago Is the Place to Learn Chinese2. The most difficult thing to do is finding _____.A. enough textbooks for the Chinese programsB. enough money for the Chinese programsC. enough teachers for the Chinese programsD. enough students for the Chinese programs3. W e learn from the passage that_____.A. Scott McGinnis has been a Chinese teacher for 15 yearsB. Jackie Chan is a Chinese teacher at McCormick Elementary SchoolC. Chicago officials ire required to learn ChineseD. Scott McGinnis is good at giving his opinions on everything4. According to the passage, all the following statements are true EXCEPT_____.A. the number of students learning Chinese is smallB. Chinese programs have found their way in several major Cities in the U.S.C. government officials don't like the pressure from business leaders and parents to start Chinese programsD. China is becoming more and more influential in the world5 The word "quadrupled" in the last paragraph is close in meaning to “multiplied by_____”.A. three timesB. four timesC. five timesD. six timesPassage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:Many private institutions of higher education around the country are in danger. Not ail will be saved, and perhaps not all deserve to be saved. There are low-quaiity schools just as there are low-quality businesses. W e have no obligation to save them simply because .they exist. But many thriving institutions that deserve to continue are threatened. They are doing a fine job educationally, but they are caught in a financial difficulty, with no way to reduce rising costs or increase revenues (收入)significantly. Raising fees doesn't bring in more revenue, for each time fees go up, the, enrollment (注册人数)goes down, or the mount that must be given away in student aid goes up. (77)Schools are bad businesses, whether rmblic or orivate, not usually because of bad management but because of the nature of the business. They lose money on every customer, and they can go bankrupt either from too few students or too many students. Even a very good college is a very bad business.It is such colleges, thriving but threatened, that I worry about. Low enrollment is not their chief problem. Even with full enrollments, they may go under. Efforts to save them, and preferably to keep them private, are a national necessity. (78)There is no basis. for arguing that private schools are bound to be better than public schools. There are plentiful examples to the contrary. Anyone can name state universities and colleges that rank as the finest in the nation and the world. It is now inevitable that public institutions will be dominant, and therefore diversity (多样性)is a national necessity. Diversity in the way we support schools tends to give us a healthy diversity in the forms of education. In ah imperfect society such as ours, uniformity of education throughout the nation could be dangerous, ha an imperfect society, diversity is a positive good. Eager supporters of public higher education know the importance of keeping private higher education healthy.6. In the passage, the author asks the public to support_____ .A. private higher education in generalB. public higher education in generalC. high-quality private universities and collegesD. high-quality state universities and colleges7. According to the passage, schools are bad businesses because of_____.A. the nature of schoolB. poor teachersC. bad managementD. too few students.8. The phrase “go under”in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to _____.A. have low feesB. get into difficultiesC. do a bad ]ob educationallyD. have low teaching standards9.Which of the following statements is TRUE?A.There are many cases indicating that private schools are superior to public schools.B.

Each time fees are raised, the enrollment goes up.10.In the author's opinion, the way that can save private schools lies in_____.A. full enrollmentB. raising feesC. reducing student aidD. national supportPassage 3Questions 11 to 15 are based onthe following passage:According to a recent surv, ey, employees in many companies today work longer hours than employees did in 1979. They also take shorter vacations than employees in 1979. It seems that Americans are working harder today than ever before. Or are they? A management consultant, Bill Meyer, decided to find out. For three days, he observed an investment banker hard at work. Meyer wrote down everything the banker did during his long workday. At the end of the three-day period, Meyer reviewed the banker's activities with him. What did they find out? They discovered that the man spent 80 percent of his time doing unnecessary work. For example, he attended unnecessary meetings, made redundant (多余的)telephone calls, and spent time packing and unpacking his two big briefcases.(79)Apparently many people believe that the more time a person spends at work, the more he or she accomplishes. When employers evaluate employees, they often consider the amount of time on the job in addition to job performance. Employees know this. Although many working people can do their job effectively during a regular 40-hour work week, they feel they have to spend more time on the job after normal working hours so that the people who can promote them see them.A group of headhunters (猎头)were asked their opinion about a situation. They had a choice of two candidates for an executive position with an important company. The candidates had similar qualifications for the job. For example, they were both reliable. One could do the job well in a 40-hour work week. The other would do the same job in an 80-hour work week just as well. According to a headhunting expert, the 80-hour-a-week candidate would get the job. The time this candidate spends on the job may encourage other employees to spend more time at work, too. Employers believe that if the employees stay at work later, they may actually do more work.However, the connection between time and productivity (生产率)is not always positive. (80)In fact. many studies indicate that after a certain point, anyone's productivity and creativity begin to decrease. Some employees are not willing to spend so much extra, unproductive time at the office. Once they finish their work satisfactorily, they want to relax and enjoy themselves. For these people, the solution is to find a company that encourages people to do both.11. What is the main idea of this passage?A. Many people work long hours but do not always do a lot of work.B. Most people can get more work done by working longer hours.C. Most Americans work 80 hours a week, and some work even longer.D. People can make more money by working longer hours.12. The management consultant wanted to fmd outA. how hard the investment banker worked during his work hoursB. when people spent time doing unnecessary work in their officeC. if people needed vacation after working hard for a certain period of timeD. whether Americans were really working harder than they had done before13. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. The more time a person spends at work, the more he or she accomplishes.B. Employers do not judge their employees'job performance according to the amount of working time.C. Some people work more than 40 hours a week in the hope of getting promotion.D. Allemployees are willing to spend extra time at work.14. The 80-hour-a-week candidate would get the job because employers believe_____.A. that he is more reliableB. his example would lead other employees to work longer hoursC. he has better qualificationsD. he could encourage other employees to do a better job15.

Each of the passages is followed by 5 questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.Passage OneHow much do you know about nutrition? If your knowledge is similar to that of food shopperswho answered three surveys for the U. S. Food and Drug Administration, then you probably share some wide-spread misinformation about nutrition. Check your answers to the following statements. Is it true or false?Statement 1: Fresh vegetables cooked at home are always more nutritious than canned or frozen vegetables. False. The nutritional difference depends more on how vegetables are handled or prepared than in whether they are bought fresh or packaged. Overcooking, for example, destroys many nutrients. Vegetables cooked in too much water can lose a significant amount of vitamins.Statement 2: When dieting, avoid starchy<淀粉类> foods, such as bread or potatoes. False. If you cut out starchy foods, such as peas, potatoes, bread, and rice, you cut out very good sources of several B vitamins, Vitamin C, and other nutrients. Moreover, ounce for ounce, bread and potatoes have fewer calories than sirloin steak and roast beef.Statement 3: Taking extra vitamins beyond the recommended daily allowances won’t give you more energy. True. It’s widely believed that extra vitamins provide more energy. But taking more than the body needs doesn't make it function better, just as overfilling your gas tank doesn’t make your car run faster.If you answered these questions correctly, you can for the time being consider yourself well informed about food and nutrition by today’s standards. But remember that nutrition is a complex and growing science and that today’s beliefs may be changed as new information becomes available.16. The first paragraph implies that many people __________.A. are well informed about nutritionB. don’t care about nutritionC. have much knowledge of nutritionD. have incorrect ideas about nutrition17. According to paragraph 2, which is NOT true about nutrition?A. Overcooking destroys many nutrients.B. It makes no difference how you prepare vegetables.C. Both fresh and packaged vegetables are nutritious.D. Vitamins in vegetable could be lost during cooking.18. Which is a correct attitude towards starchy food?A. Starchy foods are unnecessary in a balanced diet.B. Bread and steak have the same amount of calories per ounce.C. V aluable nutrients could be found in starchy foods.D. Starchy foods include only peas, potatoes, bread and rice.19. The description of "overfilling your gas tank" shows why __________.A. one should take as much vitamins as possibleB. more than enough vitamins is unnecessaryC. vitamins cost as much as gasD. doctors recommend allowance of vitamins20. A good title for this article would be__________.A. Tips of Losing Weight EffectivelyB. Test Your Nutrition IQC. Nutrition: A Complex Branch of ScienceD. Misleading Nutrition ConceptsPassage TwoMost women in Ghana--the educated and illiterate, the urban and rural, the young and old--work to earn an income in addition to maintaining their roles as housewives and mothers. Their reputation for economic independence, self-reliance, and hard work is well known and well deserved. Most of Ghana’s working women are farmers and traders. Only one woman in five, or even fewer, can be classified as simply housewives. Even these women often earn money by sewing or by baking and cooking things to sell. They also maintain vegetable gardens and chicken farms. Indeed, the woman who depends entirely upon her husband for support is looked upon with disfavor. Traditionally the tasks of motherhood have been shared. Mothers and sisters, grandmothers and nieces all helped to raise the children and to carry out daily tasks. As the family grew, older brothers and sisters also helped to care for the younger ones and helped in the home. Now with more children going to school, with more people moving away from their traditional homes, not only must the mother continue her income-producing activities, but she must take on all the heavy, time-consuming housework.Ghana today is looking for new ways to meet the needs of women and their families, such as providing more day care centers, so women can continue to play their multiple roles in the home and in the economy.21. What is the role of most women in Ghana?A. Handling varioushousework at home.B. Taking care of children indoors.C. Farming and trading out of house.D. Working as well as maintaining families.22. "self-reliance" could be explained as "__________".A. making great wealthB. de pending on oneselfC. caring for one’s ownD. being a reliable person23. What kind of women do people in Ghana prefer?A. Beautiful and charming.B. Skillful at sewing or baking.C. Depending totally on husbands.D. Working hard to earn incomes.24.Paragraph 3 describes__________. A. how traditional extended families operate B. why women in Ghana have more burdens now C. how changes in life help the working women D. the new life style of Ghana’s people25. The author of this article probably agrees that women inGhana should__________. A. stay at home and focus on family life B. become as active as men in business C. try to maintain their original roles D. make a choice and stick to one rolePassage ThreeThe blues was born on the Mississippi River Delta in the early 1900s. After the Civil War, the slaves were free but life was still not easy. They had to find new work. In the South, work camps were formed. Black people from these camps worked on farms and on building up the Mississippi River banks. During the week the people worked long and hard. They often lived alone, without their families, far from home. On the weekends, the workers got together at picnics or drinking places. Travelling black musicians with guitars entertained them. The musicians sang songs about the difficult life of the workers. These songs were called the blues.If you have the blues it means you feel very sad. You can have the blues because you have no money, no job, no lover, or no home. But blue songs were not always sad. Some of them were happy and many of them were funny.Sometimes the blues singers had song contests. Each singer sang new words or a new style of the blues song. They made up the music as they played. In this way they created new music. This is called improvisation. Later, improvisation became a very important part of jazz music.Blues began in the country in the South. As blacks moved into the big cities to work, the blues went with them. There, they sang about life in the cities. W. C. Handy, a black band leader from Memphis made the blues popular all over America. In 1914 he wrote the most famous blues song of all, "The St. Louis Blues".26.

The blues were born in the country in the South.B. The blues soon disappeared in big cities.C. W. C. Handy is the first blues singer in US.D. The most well-known blues song is "The St. Louis Blues".Passage FourNo matter who you are or where you come from, one thing is certain:you are acquainted with the mosquito<蚊子>--although you probably wish you weren’t. Mosquitoes are every where. They can be found all over the world, and they come in more than 2,500 species. Somewhere, at some time, you have surely met at least one.No one loves the mosquito. But unfortunately the mosquito may decide that she loves you. Yes, She. Only the fem ale mosquito bites. It’s not because she’s unfriendly: she needs blood to reproduce. Female mosquito is quite selective, and she chooses her victims carefully. First, she uses sensors to find her victim. With these sensors, she tests your body moisture, body warmth, and chemical substances in your sweat. If she likes what she finds, shebites. But if you don’t appeal to her, she’ll reject you for someone more appetizing. The next time a mosquito bites you, just remember that you were chosen. You’re special.If the mosquito likes you, she settles onto your flesh very gently, and she breaks your skin with her proboscis tip. It’s a kind of mouth and it sticks out just below the mosquito’s eyes. She stabs the proboscis tip into your skin at once, and if she hits a blood vessel, she’ll get a full dinner in about a minute. After that, the mosquito is tired. Heavy with your blood, she picks a spot---on a leave or a stone---to lay her eggs. Just one drop of blood will produce hundreds of eggs.31. By the sentence "you are acquainted with the mosquito--although you probably wish you weren’t", the author means that people _________. A. don’t like mosquito but it is always there B. know mosquito and wish them well C. wish all the mosquito disappeared D. want to be friendly to mosquito but fail at last32. Why is it only female mosquito that bites?A. She is more unfriendly than male.B. She is greater in number.C. Blood is her favorite food.D. Blood enables her to lay eggs.33.

A. find where to bite B. to stick into the flesh and suck blood C. to remove the skin and collect blood D. decide whom to reject35. The main idea of the passage could be _______.A. why and how mosquito bites peopleB. why people dislike mosquitoC. what kind of mosquito bites peopleD. how to identify female mosquito Part III Vocabulary and Structure <20 points>Directions: There are 40 incomplete sentences in this part.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage 1Almost every family buys at least one copy of a newspaper every day. Some people subscribe 〔订阅〕to as many as two or three newspapers. But why do people read newspapers?Five hundred years ago, news of important happenings — battles lost and won, king or rulers overthrown〔推翻〕or killed — took months and even years to travel from one country to another. The news passed by word of mouth and was never accurate. Today we can read in our newspapers of important events that occur in far away countries on the same day they happen.Apart from supplying news from all over the world, newspapers give us a lot of other useful information. There are weather reports, radio, television and film guides, book reviews, stories and, of course, advertisements. The bigger ones are put in by large companies to bring attention to their products. They pay the newspapers thousands of dollars for the advertising space but it is worth the money, for news of their products goes into almost every home in the country. For those who produce newspapers, advertisements are also very important. Money earned from advertisementsmakes it possible for them to sell their newspapers at a low price and still make a profit.Newspapers often have information on gardening, cooking and fashion, as well as a small but very popular section on jokes and cartoons〔漫画〕.41. The habit of reading newspapers is.A. uncommon in the worldB. not popular in U.S.A.C. widespread in the worldD. founded among a few families42. A few hundred years ago news did not.A. receive attentionB. travel fastC. spread to other countriesD. take long to reach other countries43. In the past, news was.A. sent by telegraphB. passed from one person to anotherC. sent by letterD. sent by telephone44. The money spent on advertisements is.A. wastedB. not muchC. worthwhileD. useless45. The section on jokes and cartoons is.A. read only by childrenB. of no valueC. not helpfulD. read by manyPassage 2Pepys and his wife had asked some friends to dinner on Sunday, September 2 nd, 1666. They were very late on the Saturday evening, getting everything ready for the next day, and while they were busy they saw the glow of a fire start in the sky. By 3 o ' clock on the Sunday morning, its glow had become so bright that Jane woke her husband to watch it. Pepys slipped on his dressing-gown and went to the window to watch it. It seemed fairly far away, so after a time he went back to bed. When he got up in the morning, it looked as though the fire was dying down, though he could still see some flames. So he set to work to tidy his room and put his things back where he wanted them.While he was doing this, Jane came in to say that she had heard the fire was a bad one. Three hundred houses had been burned down in the night and the fire was still burning. Pepys went out to see for himself. He went to the Tower ofLondon and climbed up on a high part of the buildings so that he could see what was happening. From there, Pepys could see that it was, indeed, a bad fire and that even the houses on London Bridge were burning. The man of the Tower told him that the fire had started in a baker' s shop in Pudding Lane; the baker' s house had caught fire from the over-heated oven and then the flames had quickly spread to the other houses in the narrow lane. So began the Great Fire of London, a fire that lasted nearly five days, destroyed most of the old city and ended, so it is said, at Pie Corner.46. What is the passage about?A. The Great Fire of London. C. What Pepys was doing during the fire. D. The losses caused by the fire.47. They were up very late because.A. it was Sunday morningB. they were not very sleepyC. they were preparing for the dinnerD. they saw the great fire start 48. What was Pepys doing when his wife told him about the fire?A. He was asleep.B. He was writing something.C. He was putting things back.D. He was looking out of the window.Passage 3A new report of the United Nations shows that, if the present growth rate of 2 percent per year continues, today' s world population of 5.1 billion will hit 6.4 billion by the year 2000.What' s more, the great part of the growth — 9 of every 10 people added to the earth ' spopulation - will be in the poor and undeveloped countries. These are the nations where providing enough food for billions of people already is proving to be a headaching problem.By the year 2000, today ' s " have not" nations will have a total population of 5 billion people, nearly four fifths of the world ' s population.Food isn' t the only problem that such a population explosion presents. The more people there are and the worse their living conditions, the greater grows the possibility of all kinds of social problems.In 1830, world population reached 1 billion. It took only 100 more years to add another billion to world population; just 30 more to add a third billion. And it took just 15 more years to reach the 4 billion mark in 1975.Actually, the world ' s birth rate is falling. But so is death rate, as medical advances havemade it possible for man to live longer than before. Such advances have also reduced baby death rate. Unless population growth is reduced, the world population may reach 12 billion in a century. Is the earth capable of providing a good life for so large a population?51. A population explosion will lead to.A. a lot of social problemsB. medical advancesC. a decrease in food productionD. a worse life in every country52. It took about years for world population to grow from l billion to 3 billion.53. By the year 2000, today ' s nations will have a total population of 5 billion people, B. Who was the first to discover the fire.49. Pepys slipped on his dressing gown. A. to be wearing B. to be pushing50. Why did the flames spread quickly?A. The oven became very hot.C. The baker did nothing to stop it.To slip on " meansC. to take offD. to put on B. The houses were close together. D. The baker ' s house was burning quickly.A. 100B. 115C. 130D. 145nearly four fifths of the world ' s population.A. biggestB. AsianC. developingD. developed 54., the world may have a population of 12 billion a century.A. If man can live longer in the futureB. If the science of medicine is developing fast enoughC. If the population growth is not reducedD. If the earth is able to provide a good life for more people 55. This passage tells us that.A. the United Nations thinks it possible to avoid a population explosionB. 5.1 billion people are living in the undeveloped countriesC. in advanced nations the population growth is being controlledD. the world ' s population is increasingPassage 4A scientist who wants to predict the way in which consumers〔消费者〕will spend their money must study consumer behavior. He must obtain data both on the resources of consumers and on the motives that tend to encourage or discourage money spending.If an economist were asked which of the three groups borrow most ——people with rising incomes, stable incomes, or decreasing incomes ——he would probably answer: those with decreasing incomes. Actually, in the years 1947-1950, the answer was: people with rising incomes. People with decreasing incomes were next and people with stable incomes borrowed the least. This shows us that traditional assumptions〔假设〕about earning and spending are not always reliable. Another traditional assumption is that if people who have money expect prices to go up, they will hasten to buy. If they expect prices to go down, they will postpone buying. But research surveys have shown that this is not always true. The expectations of price increases may not stimulate buying. One typical attitude was expressed by the wife of a mechanic in an interview at a time of rising pr ices. "In a few months,“ she said, "we'll have to pay more for meat and milk; we 'll have less to spend on other things." Her family had been planning to buy a new car but they postponed this purchase. Furthermore, the rise in prices that has already taken place may be disliked and buyer' s resistance may be produced. This is shown by the following typical comment: “I just don ' t pay these prices; they are too high.〞The investigations mentioned above were carried out in America. The condition most helpful to spending appears to be price stability. If prices have been stable and people consider that they are reasonable, they are likely to buy. Thus, it appears that the common business policy of maintaining stable prices is based on a correct understanding of consumer psychology〔心理学〕.56. According to the passage, if one wants to predict the way consumers spend their money, he should.A. rely on traditional assumptions about earning and spendingB. try to encourage or discourage consumers to spend moneyC. carry out investigations on consumer behavior and get data on consumers ' incomes andmoney spending motivesD. do researches in consumer psychology in a laboratory57. According to paragraph 2, one traditional assumption is that people with incomesborrow most.A. averageB. stableC. decreasingD. rising58. According to paragraph 2, research surveys have proved that.A. price increases always stimulate people to hasten to buy thingsB. rising prices may make people put off their purchase of certain thingsC. women are more sensitive to the rising in prices than menD. the expectations of price increases often make buyers feel angry 59. From the results of the surveys, the writer of this article.A. concludes that the saving and spending patterns in Great Britain are better than those inAmericaB. concludes that the consumers always expect prices to remain stableC. concludes that maintaining stable prices is a correct business policyD. does not draw any conclusion60. Which of the following statements is always TRUE according to the surveys mentioned in thepassage?A. Consumers will put off buying things if they expect prices to decrease.B. Consumers will spend their money quickly if they expect prices to increase.C. The price condition has an influence on consumer behavior.D. Traditional assumptions about earning and spending are reliable.Part III Cloze (10%)Directions: There are 10 blanks in the following passage. For each blanks there are four choices marked A, B, C and D, you should choose one that best fits into the passage. Then mark the answer by blanking the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a pencil.Humans fall into two types when it comes to biological clock: the early-to-bed and early-to-rise or late-night-loving who wake up long after the dawn. As any parent knows, teenagers may take the 61 to extremes. But their oversleeping does not relax them. Some researcher say: ": Biology is to blame.〞The researchers surveyed the sleep habits of 25,000 Germans, 62 from 8 to 90, and found that as the teenage years wear on, the hour when kids go to bed and get up drifts later and later. It s not that they' re sleeping more. -63- , it' s that their living clock is twisted. However, around age 20, the pattern reverses. The clocks tick 64 , and young adults begin to go to sleep and wake up earlier and earlier. Eventually, their clocks coincide with 65 of older people.The quick change may mark the biological end of teenage years. A difference 66 the timing in men and in women points to a biological cause, perhaps a hormonal effect.Because the living clock is 67 by exposure to sunlight, the researchers suspects the many hours some kids _68 staying in their dark rooms could push the clocks even later —a pattern that may be more common in industrialized societies. The researchers also discovered that rural residents, 69 lifestyle puts them in daylight more, retire and rise an hour earlier than city 70 . “We think this is only the tip of an iceberg that shows us the consequences of dim-light environments, the researchers say.61.

Throughout history the sea has served the needs of man. (71)The sea has provided man with food and a convenient way to travel to many parts of the world. Today, experts believe that nearly two-thirds of the world ' s population live within eighty kilometers of the seacoast.(72) In the modern technological world the sea offers many resources to help mankind survive. Resources on land are beginning to grow less. The sea, however, still offers hope to supply many of man ' s needs in the future.(73)The riches of the sea yet to be developed by man ' s technology are impressive. Oil and gas explorations have existed for nearly thirty years. Valuable amounts of minerals such as iron, copper and so on exist on the ocean floor.Besides oil and gas, the sea may offer new sources of energy. For example, warm temperature of the ocean can be used as the steam in a steamship. Sea may also offer a source of energy as electricity for mankind.(74)Technology is enabling man to explore even deeper under the sea. It is obvious that the technology to harvest the sea continues to improve. (75) By the year 2050, experts believe that theproblems to explore the food, minerals and energy resources of the sea will have been largely solved.Part V Writing (15%)For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic:Global Shortage of Fresh Water Write at least 100 words and base your composition on the outline below and use the words for references as many as you can.1 .人们以为淡水是取之不尽的(提示:雨水、河水、井水......)2 .实际上淡水是非常紧缺的(提示:人口增加,工业用水增加,污染......)3 .我们应该怎么办解析Part I Vocabulary and Structure1.

Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:The reflective《反射》towers of New York City, which is on the Atlantic (大西洋)migrating(迁徙的) route(路线), can be deadly (致命)for birds.“We live in an age (时代)of glass,”said Ms. Laurel,an architect.(建筑师)(76) “It can be a perfect mirror in certain (某些)lights, and the larger the glass, the more dangerous it is.”About 90,000 birds are killed by flying into buildings in the city each year.(每一年)Often,(常常)they strike (罢工)the lower (低)levels of (水平)glass towers after (之后)searching (搜索)for food in nearby parks. Such crashes(崩溃)are the second-leading(主要)cause of (原因)death for migrating birds, after habitat (栖息地) loss, with an estimated number of death ranging up to a billion a year.(77) As glass office and apartment towers have increased (增加)in the last decade(过去十年), so, too have calls to makethem less deadly to birds. San Francisco (三潘)adopted(采用)bird-safety standards (标准)for new buildings in July. The United States (美国)Green Building Council,(委员会)a nonprofit (非盈利组织)industry group that encourages(鼓励)the creation (创造)of environmentally conscious (意识)buildings, will introduce(介绍)a bird-safety credit this fall(信用这个秋天)as part of its environmental certification process(认证过程).There are no easy fixes(修复), however. A few researchers (研究人员)are exploring glass designs that use ultraviolet (紫外线的) signals, but they are still in their infancy.(婴儿期)Covers, (盖子)dot patterns(圆点图案), shades (阴影)and nets (网)are the main options available.(可供选择方案)Often, only one section(部分)of a building needs to be changed. "You don't necessarily have to treat(对待)every window," Ms. Laurel said. "It would be too expensive to do the whole building." The Jacob IC Javits Convention Center,(雅各伯ic贾维次会展中心)which has been undergoing(经历)alterations(改变), is the most recent building to voluntarily correct the problem of bird crashes.

The current (现在的)18-year-olds, after all(毕竟), were 8 when Google was founded by two students at Stanford; Mark Zuckerberg founded Facebook(创办脸谱网)in 2004 while he was at Harvard (在哈佛)and they were entering high school. Having grown up digital (数字的), they are impatient (没有耐心)to get on with life.The easiest (简单)way to fred kids(佛莱德孩子)like(像)these is to check(检查)in on entrepreneurship (企业家才能) education, in which colleges (高校)and universities try to prepare their students to recognize (认识、识别)opportunities (机遇)and seize(抓住)them.A report published last year by the Kauffman (考夫曼)Foundation(基础), which finances (资助)programs to promote(促进)innovation (创新)on campuses(校园), noted (注意)that more than 5,000 entrepreneurship(创业)programs are offered on two- and four-year campuses-up fromjust 250 courses(课程)in 1985. Lesa Mitchell, a Kauffman vice president,(副总统)says that the foundation (基础)is extending (延伸)the reach of (达到)its academic(学术的)influence, which used to be found only inbusiness schools. Now, the concept of (概念)entrepreneurship(创业)is blooming (绽放)in engineering(工程)programs and medical schools, and even in the liberal arts. “Our interest is inall (总共、合计)the programs,”she says.“We need to spread 传播out from the business(业务)school.”Either (无论)as(作为)class projects or on their own_, students in a variety of majors (专业)are coming up with ideas, writing business plans and seeing them through to (通过)prototype (原型)and, often, market. In their spare(备用)time, students in agricultural (农业)economics(经济学)at Purdue invent(发明)new uses for bean(豆); industrial design majors at Syracuse(锡拉丘兹,), in a special laboratory(实验室), create wearable(可穿越)technologies.(78) The entrepreneurship (创业)movement (运动)has its critics' (评论家)especially (尤其是)among(在什么之间)those who see college(学院)as a time for extensive (广泛)academic(学术)exploration.(探索)“I just don't think that entrepreneurship ranks so high in terms of national(国家): need,”says Daniel S. Greenberg, author (作者)of Science for Sale (销售): The Perils(危险), Rewards (奖励)and Delusions(错觉)of Campus (校园)Capitalism.(资本主义)+--Leonard A.

Entrepreneurship courses in business schools.B. Qualities (品质)of an entrepreneur.C. Entrepreneurship education in colleges.D. Kids in the information age.Passage 3Questions 11 to 15 are based onthe following passage:Regret(后悔)is as common(常见的)an emotion (情感)as love or fear, and it can be nearly(几乎)as (一样)powerful. So, in a new paper, two researchers(研究人员)set about trying to find out what the typical (典型)American regrets (遗憾)most. In telephone surveys (调查), Neal Roese(尼尔罗斯), a psychologist(心理学家)and professor (教授)of marketing (营销)at the School ofmanagement at Northwestern(西北大学)UniverSity, and Mike Morrison, a doctoral candidate (候选人)in psychology (心理学)at University of Illinois, asked 370 Americans, aged 19 to 103, to talk about their most notable(值得注意的)regret(后悔). Participants (参与者)were asked what the regret was, when it happened, whether it was a result of (结果)something they did or didn't do, and whether it was something that could still (仍然)be fixed.(固定的)The most commonly(通常的)mentioned regrets(提到遗憾)involved romance (浪漫的事) (18%)——lost loves or unfulfilled(不满意)relationships. Family regrets came in second (16%), with people still feeling badly about being unkind(不友善)to their brothers or sisters in childhood. Other frequently (频繁地)reported regrets involved career(卷入职业)(13%), education (12%), money (10%) and parenting (9%).Roese and Morrison's study, which is to be published in Social Psychological(心理)and Personality(人格)Science, is significant(重要的)in that it surveyed(调查)a wide range of the American public, including people of all ages and socio-economic(社会经济)and educational backgrounds. Previous studies (以前的研究)on regret have focused largely(聚集主要的)on college students, who predictably (可以预见的是)tend to have education-focused (集中)regrets, like wishing(祝愿)they had studied harder(努力研究)or a different major. The new survey(调查)shows that in the larger population, a person's "life circumstances (情况)accomplishments,(成就)shortcomings,(缺点)situation in life- inject(注入)considerable (相当大)fuel (燃料)into the fires of regret," the authors write.(79) People with less education, for instance(实力), were more likely to report education regrets. People with higher levels of (水平)education had the most career (职业)regrets. And those with no romantic (浪漫)parmer tended to hold regrets regarding (关于)love.Broken(破碎)down (分解、细分) by sex, more women (44%) than men (19%) had regrets about love and family not surprising, since women "value social relationships more than men," the authors write. In contrast(对比), men (34%) weremore likely than women (27%) to mention work-related regrets, wishing they'd chosen a different career path(路径), for instance, or followed their passion(激情). (80) Many participants also reported wishing they had worked less to spend more time with their children.There was an even split(分裂)between regrets about inaction (not doing something) and action (doing something you wish you didn't). But, like previous(以前的)studies, the current research(以前研究)found that some regrets are more likely than others to persist over time: people tend to hang on (坚持)longer to the regret of inaction; meanwhile(同时), regrets of action tend to be more recent.11. In the second paragraph, the author shows__________.A. the researchers'(研究者)findingsB. the importance of familyC. the importance of moneyD. the importance of career(职业)12. According to the passage, college student participants(参与者)mainly had regrets abouttheir__________.A. family and childhoodB. study and majorC. career and jobD. romance (浪漫)and fear13. The word "notable" in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to __________.A. common (常见的)B. Capable(能干的)C. Wonderful(精彩的)D. Remarkable(非凡的)14. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. The less education he or she has, the more regrets she or he would have.B. The more education he or she has, the less regrets she or he would have.C. More women than men had regrets about love and family.D. The regret of action seems to last longer than that of inaction.15. What is the main idea of this passage?A. How regret is understood (理解)by a typical (典型)American.B. Common regrets Americans have.C. Why regret is more important than love and hate.(恨)D. How regret has shaped Americans.Part ⅡVocabulary and Structure (30%)Directions: In this part there are 30 incomplete sentences. For each sentence there are four choices marked A, B, C and D.

For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.Passage OneTracy McGrady is a real-life superstar. He spent the summer traveling in Europe, working with Adidas on his latest basketball shoe and playing with Team U.S.A. in an Olympic qualifying game. He also spent countless hours in the gym. “I work on things every day in the off-season, ”says McGrady, 24, an All-Star guard with the National Basketball Association‟s Orlando Magic. Until McGrady was 17, few outside his tiny hometown knew of his skills. He was raised mostly by his grandmother in a rough part of town. Sports were his escapes. To gain more exposure for his basketball skills, McGrady transferred to play his senior season at Mount Zion Christian Academy in North Carolina. After leading the Mighty Warriors to a 26-2 record that season, McGrady was named Player of the Year by a national newspaper. At 18, McGrady was starring for Toronto by the end of his new players‟ season. But he wanted to become one of the NBA‟s elite (精英), so he hired a trainer and beban intense workouts. It‟s not uncommon for McGrady, who signed with Orlando in 2002, to shoot 200 jumpers after practice, grab a healthy bite to eat and go to work out with the Los Angeles Lakers‟ Shaquille O‟Neal, who owns a home in Orlando. “He‟s stayed at a high level, ”Orlando coach Doc Rivers says of McGrady. “A lot of young players can play a good 20 minutes, or have a great month. Tracy does it all season on both ends.” To be that goood takes a lot of work. To be better takes even more. McGrady is ready for the challenge, because he knows what he wants. “I don‟t want to be one of those players that‟s known for being a great player that never won a championship, ”McGrady says. “I want a title.”16.Whnich of the following teams has McGrady NOT so far played for? A. Team U.S.A.B. Los Angeles Lakers.C. The Mighty Warriors.D. Orlando Magic.17.The sentence “I work on things every day in the off-season”(Line 3,Paragraph 1)implies that ____________. A. McGrady practices other things more B. McGrady keeps on his skills training particularly hard in the off-season days C. McGrady keeps on training with other exercises than with basketball D. McGrady practices his skills every day including the off-season time18.McGrady is different from other players mainly in__________. A. his particular shooting skills in playing basketball B. his trying to save every minute to work out with O‟Neal C. his persistence in constant hard training D. his stronger desire for a title than other players19.McGrady was honored Player of the Year by a national newspaper because _______. A. he has stayed at a high level of training B. he has created a record among the best players that season C. he was well ready for the coming challenge D. he is regarded as an All-Star guard with the NBA20. The sentence “Sports were his escapes ”(Line 2, Paragraph 2) can best mean that _________.a. sporting activities were the means for him to get fullest happiness by B. physical exercises were the only way to relieve him of his pains C. he didn‟t want to do more things than sportiveactivities D. sports enabled him to run away from his hometownPassage TwoLast December‟s earthquakes in the Iranian city of Bam took a huge death toll-roughly 40,000 people-largely because of the collapse of thousands of mud-brick buildings, If a group of researchers in India are successful, the earthquake might not be as destructive. British and Indian engineers are developing earthquake-proof housing using a cheap, universal material:bamboo. They designed a model house built around waterproof bamboo-sheet roofing and bamboo-reinforced concrete walls. To test the structure , the engineers , sponsored by the U.K. Department of International Development, took it to the Earthquake Engineering and Vibration Research Centre in Bangalore, which has a state-of-the-art earthquake simulator(模拟装置)。

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet. Passage OneQuestions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage.In the United States, it is important to be on time for an appointment, a class, a meeting, etc. However, this may not be true in all countries. An American professor discovered this difference while teaching a class in a Brazilian(巴西的)university. The two-hour class was scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. and end at 12. On the first day, when the professor arrived on time, no one was in the classroom. Many students came after 10 a.m. Several arrived after 10:30 a.m. Two students came after 11 a.m. Although all the students greeted the professor as they arrived, few apologized for their lateness. Were these students being rude? He decided to study the students' behavior. The professor talked to American and Brazilian students about lateness in both an informaland a formal situation: at a lunch with a friend and in university calls respectively. He gave them an example and asked them how they would react. If they had a lunch appointment with a friend, the average American student showed clearly lateness as 19 minutes after the agreed time. On the other hand, the average Brazilian student would be 33 minutes late.In an American university, students are expected to arrive at the appointed hour. In contrast,in Brazil, neither the teacher nor the students always arrive at the appointed hour. Classes not only begin at the scheduled time in the United States, but also end at the scheduled time. In the Brazilian class, only a few students left the class at 12:00; many remained past 12:30 to discuss the class and ask more questions. Arriving late may not be very important in Brazil, neither is staying late.11. The American professor studied the Brazilian students' behavior because ________.A) he felt angry at the students' rudenessB) he felt puzzled at the students' being lateC) he wanted to collect data for his researchD) he wanted to make students come on time later12. Which of the following is not mentioned in the passage?A) Both American and Brazilian students will often be late for a lunch appointment.B) Classes begin and end at the scheduled time in the United States.C) Brazilian students don't mind staying late after class.D) Brazilian students usually arrive late and leave early.13. What can we infer from the professor's study of lateness in the informal situation?A) Neither Brazilian nor American students like to be late in social gatherings.B) American students will become impatient if their friend is ten minutes late.C) Being late in one culture may not be considered rude in another culture.D) Brazilian students will not come thirty-three minutes after the agreed time.14. From the last paragraph we know that in Brazil, ________.A) it is acceptable for professors to be late for classB) it is rude to keep a professor staying after classC) it is important to arrive at the appointed timeD) it is normal for students to leave during lectures15. What does this passage tell us?A) People learn the importance of time from the country in which they live.B) The importance of being on time differs among cultures.C) Students being late for class should explain the reason to their teacher.D) It is important to come to class on time in Brazil.Passage TwoQuestions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.The internet has led to a huge increase in credit-card fraud.

Online shoppers who enter their credit-card information may never receive the goods they bought.The thieves then go shopping with your card number or sell the information over the Internet. Computer hackers (黑客) have broken down security system, raising questions about the safety of card holder information.Several months ago, 25,000 customers of a CD universe, an online music retailer (批发商), were not lucky. Their names, addresses and credit-card numbers were posted on a Website after the retailer refused to pay US $ 157,828 to get back the information.Credit-card firms are now fighting against online fraud.

The Website address may also start http://--the extra s stands for secure.

They thinktheir parents' high expectations are burdens. But a recent survey found that they are much luckier than teenagers in Japan, Korea and the US, who also find their parents annoying. The parents of foreign teens have even higher expectations of their children than Chinese parents. 62% of Chinese fathers and 66% of Chinese mothers have high expectations of their children at high school age. They rank third and fourth among fathers and mothers of four countries. Japanese mothers top the list with 76% having high expectations, while 70% of Korean fathers expect too much of their children. Japanese teens are the most deeply troubled by their parents constantly comparing them with other kids.The survey also found that Chinese students are the most satisfied with their parents. Theyblame them less, and also receive less criticism than those from the other three countries. However, satisfaction doesn't mean they are happy. Of the four countries, Chinese children are not the happiest at home. They get the least praise from their parents and they don't feel able to express their unhappiness to them,Results from the survey show that in spite of different cultural backgrounds, generation gapsexist in many countries other than China. It's even bigger elsewhere. It is said that Chinese parentsare used to burying their feelings deep in their hearts, which makes their children not want to talk openly with them. This survey shows that both parents and teenagers in China need to work on communicating and understanding each other.Besides their family life, students were also questioned about their opinions on themselvesand others in the world. US students showed more “individuality,”with 88% agreeing that “people should follow their own interests instead of those of others”. Koreans were the next most independent, followed by the Chinese and Japanese.21.

According to the author, who are the most independent?A) American studentsB) Students from JapanC) Students in KoreaD) Chinese students25. From the passage we can infer that higher expectations of their children are ________.A) not local termsB) not universalC) Chinese charactersD) characters of Asian peoplePassage FourQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.Which are more likely to have with you at any given moment —your cell-phone or yourwallet? Soon you may be able to throw your wallet away and pay for things with a quick wave ofyour smart phone over an electronic scanner.In January, Starbucks announced that customers could start using their phones to buy coffeein 6,800 of its stores. This is the first pay-by-phone practice in the U.S., but we're likely to seemore wireless payment alternatives as something called near field communication (NFC) gets into America's consumer electronics. Last December, some new smart phones which contain an NFCchip were introduced to the public.Already in use in parts of Asia and Europe, NFC allows shoppers to wave their phones a fewinches above a payment terminal —a contact-free system built for speed and convenience. But before NFC becomes widely adopted in the U.S., a few problems need to be worked out, like who will get to collect the profitable transaction fees. Although some credit card providers have been experimenting with wave-and-pay systems that use NFC-enabled credit cards, cell-phone service providers may try to muscle their way into the point-of-sale (POS) market. Three big cell-phone service providers have formed a joint venture that will go into operation over the next 15 months.Its goal is “to lead the U.S. payments industry from cards to mobile phones.”The other big NFC issue, apart from how payments will be processed, is security. Forinstance, what's to stop a thief from digitally pickpocketing you? “We're still not at the point where an attacker can just brush against you in a crowd and steal all the money out of your phone.”says Jimmy Shah, a mobile-security researcher. “Users may also be able to set transaction limits, perhaps requiring a password to be entered for larger purchases.”Are you still uneasy about this digital-wallet business? Keep in mind that if you lose yoursmart phone, it can be located on a map and remotely disabled. Plus, your phone can be password protected. Your wallet isn't.26. What is predicted to happen in the U.S.?A) The expansion of cell-phone companies.B) The boom of pay-by-phone business.C) The disappearance of credit cards.D) The increase of Starbucks sales.27. The NFC technology can be used to ________.A) ensure the safety of shoppersB) collect transaction fees easilyC) make purchase faster and simplerD) improve the quality of cell-phones28. Three cell-phone service providers form a joint venture to ________.A) strengthen their relationshipB) get a share in the payment industryC) sell more cell-phonesD) test the NFC technology29. The word “transaction”in paragraph 3 most probably means _______.A) a chain of storesB) a shift from one port to anotherC) a message sent from one place to anotherD) a piece of business30. According to the passage, what can users do if they lose their smart phone?A) Stop the functioning of their phones.B) Set up a password.C) Get all the money out of their phones.D) Cancel large purchases.Part III Vocabulary and Structure (25 minutes)fourare there sentence each For part. this in sentences incomplete 25 are There Directions: choices marked A), B), C) and D).

Recently, a Chinese new law requires that all adults should regularly visit and take care of their parents. If they don't do so, they break the law. The new law, however, has given rise to a public debate on whether it is possible. Many people doubt whether the law is enforceable, because it does not clarify how often people have to visit their parents. In addition, working people who live far away from their parents will find it difficult to take leave to go home regularly. Even so, some scholars have praised the law because it is aimed at arousing people's awareness of loving the elderly and reminding them to always keep their obligations in mind and visit their parents frequently.Part V Writing (30 minutes)Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition entitled Online Learning or Offline Learning.
