As a psychologist for more than twenty years I can tell you that I have never had an adult looking back at her childhood and complaining that her parents were too understanding. And similarly, I have met many divorced people who still love each other but yet they never really understood each other.The painful reality is love is just not enough. I’ll admit that there are people who I love and who I still need to better understand. I hope I will continue my work to understand them. The willingness to understand is very important. It is not always easy,but healthy love is strengthened by the willingness to understand. Love without understanding will wilt like flowers without water.Our egos are what seem to get in the way of understanding those who we love and care about. Often it is our need to be right that makes what others think and feel so wrong for us. I have certainly been quite guilty of this in some of my relationships.As I have written repeatedly in my books, empathy , is truly the emotional glue that holds all close relationships together. Empathy allows us to slow down and try to walk in the shoes of those we love. The deeper our empathy, the deeper---the healthier---our love. Not all relationships are meant to be. Yet all relationships that are meant to flourish in a healthy way, must stress understanding just as much, if not more, than love.61. From the passage, we know that _____.A.the author complains about her parents’ being too understandingB.the author has been studying marriage for more than 20 yearsC.People divorced mainly because they didn’t love each otherD.Some people divorced because they couldn’t understand each other62. Why are we unable to understand the others sometimes?A. Because we are caring the others too much.B. Because it is quite difficult to understand the others.C. Because we believe we are always rightD. Because the others have done something wrong63. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. Understanding is more important to parenting relationships than to other intimate relationships.B. Understanding is less important than love as far as marriage is concerned.C. Understanding is more important than love to some degree.D. Understanding is more often neglected in parenting relationship.64. If we are to understand our parents, we should firstly _____.A.have willingness to do soB.have love for themC.get into connection with themD.care about them65. In this passage, the expression “walk in the shoes of” is similar in meaning to ____.A.befriendB.understandC.loveD.care aboutPassage TwoFinally, the Christmas season is over. We can take a long breath, put up our feet, sip from a cup of good tea and relax. The frenzy, starting from Black Friday right after Thanksgiving until Christmas Eve, of gift shopping, buying, wrapping, giving, receiving, opening, returning...is exhaustive and time---consuming, but it takes place every year.There is considerable difference between the cultures in China and western countries when it comes to gift giving. In China, it is not polite to open a gift in front of the gift giver, and gift is only looked at after the guest has left. Here in America, gift givers always wrap their gifts, large or small, priceless or valueless, carefully and decorate them with colorful ribbons and little pretty paper flowers; and the lucky receiver is expected to open the gift right away in front of the giver, with great eagerness and curiosity, and should always express appreciation with the all time truthful comment,“this is just exactly what I wanted!” Well, as a matter of fact, most people would take their“always wanted” gifts back to the store to exchange for something they really wanted.Finding a gift for somebody, even a close family member, you will have to know what the person likes and shop for days before you can locate the perfect gift. But , still the person may not like the gift from you. Nowadays, stores would provide two copies of the receipts for anything they sell as a gift, one of which is included in the gift packaged so that the receiver can come back for an exchange. I know, it was unthinkable to cash out gift you get, but, times are different. Another good way to avoid all that shopping hassle is to purchase a gift card from one of the stores and send it to your niece, nephews, or a family member, so that they can get whatever they want or even keep the money.66. Finding a gift for somebody is a(n) _____.A.easy jobB.tough taskC.must-be jobD.arranged task67. It is quite _____ for Chinese people to open the gift in front of the givers.ualB.normalC.abnormalD.unusual68. Gift giving is the same thing in China and America in that _____.A.people spend a lot of time preparing a giftB.People would cash out the gift immediatelyC.People are eager to open to get a gift from a friendD.People are less willing to give gifts.69. Which of the following is the author’s suggestion?A. Open a gift immediately in front of the giver.B. Wrap the gift carefully.C. Express the appreciation for the gift you receive.D. Buying a present card to avoid the trouble in shopping70. The author’s attitude towards gift giving is_____.A.indifferentB.protestingC.objectiveD.supportivePassage ThreeThey already guide blind and disabled people ;now dogs are to be trained to help people with dementia(痴呆).The duties of these “guide dogs for the mind” will include reminding their owners to take medication, as well as encouraging them to eat , drink and sleep at regular intervals.The dementia dogs will be trained to respond to sound triggers in the home that prompt them to perform tasks .These could include delivering a bite-proof bag of medicine with a note inside reminding the patient to take it , or waking them up in the morning.The idea was developed by design students at the Glasgow School of Art and will now be put into practice by Alzheimer’s Seotland and Dogs for the disabled.Joyee Gray of Alzheimer’s Scotland said:“People in the early stages of dementia are still able to live a relativ e normal life , and dogs help to maintain routine .”The other advantage of using the pets as companions is that conversation can be increasingly confusing for people with Alzheimer’s ,but dogs can give them a sense of silent support and companionship . Pe ople light up when they can see animals .They don’t need to communicate verbally but they can still interact . You can have a speechless bond .The dog would also encourage the owner to take them out for walks ,ensuring they keep exercising and interacting with other people .71.As is mentioned in the passage ,the guide dogs will do the following except for ____ .A.helping ensure the owner doing some exercisesB.reminding the owner to take medicinemunicating with the owner in a non-verbal wayD.helping the owner recover from the illness72.Who will train the dogs to perform such tasks?A.The students who developed the idea.B.The owners of the dogs.C.The experts in Alzheimer’s Scotland .D.It is not mentioned in the passage .73.What is true about the people suffering from dementia?A.They would like to stay with other people.B.They can maintain routine .C.They will gradually lose the ability to live a normal life .D.They would like to talk in a different way .74.The guide dogs helping the people with dementia will ___.A.respond to the owners orderB.respond to a sound deviceC.act on the owners instructionsD.act on the trainers order75.Having a conversation with people with dementia will be ___.A.difficultB.interestingC.confusing D .encouragingPassage FourIt seems obvious that you don’t give away your product for free but this is exactly what indie rock group The Crimea did earlier this year. The band’s reasoning goes like this: more people will download the free album than would pay for it. Therefore, more people will hear The Crimea’s music. These people will then pay money for concerts by the band and perhaps buy a T-shirt or other merchandise. If the band play regular concerts to crowds of 200 or 300 people they can make more money than they would from sales of CD. There will always be somepeople who want something they can hold in their hands so they will release the CD into the shops too---but making money through sales of their music i sn’t the top priority.The story illustrates the creative thinking going on in their music in response to dramatic changes over the last few years in the way that people buy music. Sales of music digitally ---to computer, phone and MP3 players rose to $2 billion in 2006---an increase of almost 100 percent on the previous year---yet overall record company sales are down. People are simply not buying CDs in record shops in anything like the numbers they used to.This trend looks set to continue so the big questions for the music industry is whether they can successfully manage the move to being primarily a digital industry without profits falling to unacceptable levels.There are both positive and negative signs. On the plus side, more and more people are buying music by mobile phones, which allows people to make impulse purchases---they can buy a song as soon as they hear it. Research by the UK mobile operator 3 suggested that 75 percent of 16 to 24-year-olds wanted to buy a track they liked as soon a s they heard it. With so much competition for people’s disposable income, a product you can sell immediately is a big advantage.The bad news for the record companies, however, is the amount of music that is downloaded illegally. Piracy---usually in the form of cheaply copied CD---has long been an issue for the music business but the internet means music can be copied and distributed freely through file-sharing sites on a large scale than ever before.It is this situation that leads bands to start giving away their music for free and promises to make the next few years a very interesting time in the music business.76.What is unusual abou t the Crimea’s business plan ?A.Their business was given away free on the Internet .B.They gave CDs away free in shops .C.They played free concerts.D.They charged more for their CDs.77.The Crimea hope to make money___.A.through CD salesB.by giving concerts and selling T-shirts and other merchandiseC.by selling merchandise on the InternetD.through sales of merchandise in shops78.The Crimea also released CDs for sale in shops because ___.A.people who attend their concerts need themB.they want to make extra moneyC.there are still people who prefer CDs to other formatsD.people who fail to attend their concerts need them79.What is true about sales of music over the last year?A.Overall,sales are up on last year.B.Overall,sales are down on last year.C.There is no change compared to previous salesD.It is not mentioned in the passage.80.What effect has internet had on music piracy?A.It is made it easier to fight piracyB.It has increased the number of pirate CDs available.C.It has made it easier to illegally copy music.D.It has reduced the number of pirate CDs available.Part IV TranslationSection A81.她喜欢看书时听音乐。

Have you seen films in which a train crashed or a ship sank into the ocean? ff so, you may havewondered how these things could happen without harming the people in the film. The man who knows the answer is the special effects man. He has one of the most important jobs in the film industry. He may be ordered to create a flood, or to make a battlefield explode. But he may also be told to create a special effect which is much less exciting, though just as important to the success of the film.In a scene for one movie there was a big glass bowl filled with water in which small fish were swimming. The director of the movie wanted the fish to stop swimming suddenly while they seemed to stare at an actor. Then the director wanted the fish to stop staring and swim away. But fish cannot be ordered to do anything. It was quite a problem.The special-effects man thought about this problem for a long time. The result was an idea for controlling the fish with a harmless use of electricity. First .he applied electricity to the fish bowl causing the fish to be totally still. Then he rapidly reduced the amount of electricity allowing the fish to be swim away. Thus, he got the humorous effect the director wanted.As in other parts of movie making there are those who have developed particular skill in creating certain kinds of effects. For fires, the special-effects man for does not ----------burning proeessof wood or other -----He does not have time to wait until large ---------- -------------- All this requires training,skill and experience.It also adds a great deal to the ------producing the film . It helps explain why so many movies are very expensive to make.16. All the following scenes are probably the results of special effects in films except that ________?A. a bridge was destroyedB. a building was burned downC. a person wondered how not to harm peopleD. a ship sank into the ocean17. The job of a special-effects man is__________.A. most importantB.always exciting.C. less important.D. very rewarding18. --------------_________.A. --B. -----------------------------C. -------------.D. --------.19. -------______.A. ---------B. ---------C. ---------D. ---------------20. ------------ ________.A.-------B. -------C. --------D. ------------------Passage 2Questions 21-25 are based on the following passage.Before a new airliner goes into service Before a new airliner goes into service, every part of it is tested again and again. But there are two tests that are more important than all the others. Once of them is very strange and the other is very dangerous.the first of these is called the “tank test”, a modern airliner must fly at very high altitudes. Air must be pumped into the place so that the passengers can breathe. The metal structure of the plane has to be very strong for this reason. When the plane is filled with air, or “pressured”,the air presses against the skin of the plane inside. The pressure on a small window, for example, is like a huge foot that is trying to get out. If a small part of the plane were to crack, the plane would explode in the sky. This is what happened to the firest Comets. In order to test the structure of the plane, it is lowered into a huge tank of water .Then it is filled with air. The pressure inside the plane is greater than it ever will be when it is in the air. Finally, there is an explosion. This does not eause so much damage inside the water tank as it would anywhere -------------Engineers can discover which part of the plane has cracked. This part is made stronger.The most dangerous test happens when the new plane is going through test flight in the air. The test pilot must find exactly what happens when all the engines are shut off at once. He takes the plane up very high. Then he shuts the engines off, the plane begins to fall like a stone. the pilot’s job to find out how he can get control of the plane again. These two tests are examples of how planes are made safe before they ever carry passengers.21．The purpose of the “tank test” is to find out_______A. How much air passengers need to breathe at certain altitudes.B. How much air can be pumped into the plane.C. What would happen if the plane crashed in the water.D. if there are any weak parts in the plane that would burst under pressure22. -------------?A. --------.B. ------.C. --.D. ------.23．--------------------A. -----B. ----C. --.D. ------24．-------A. --------.B. ---------.C. -------D. -------25. The passage implies that modern airlines are ________A. reliableB. dangerousC. complicatedD. efficientV.Passage 3Questions 23-30 are based on the following passage.American this year will swallow 15,000 tons of aspirin, one of the safest and most effective drugsinvented by man. The most popular medicine in the world today, it is an effective pain reliever. Its badeffects are relatively mild and it is cheap.For millions of people suffering from arthritis (关节炎). It is the only thing that works. Aspirin, inshort, is truly the 20th-century wonder drug. It is also the second largest suicide drug and is the leadingcause of poisoning among children. It has side effects that, although relatively mild, are largely unrecognizedamong users.Although aspirin was at first sold by a German company in1899, it has been around much longer than that. Hippocrates, in ancient Greek, understood the medical value of the leaves and tree bark which today are known to contain salicylates (水杨酸碱), the chemical in aspirin. During the 19th century, there was a great deal of experimentation in Europe with this chemical, and it led to the introduction of aspirin. By 1915,aspirin tablets were available in the United States.A small quantity of aspirin (two-grain tablets) relieves pain and inflammation. It also reduces fever byinterfering with (干预) some of the body's reactions.26. -------.A. ---------B. ---C.---D. ----27. -----A. ----B. ----C. ----D. ----28.---A. --B.---C. ---D. ----29. The author of this arucle seems to be______ ?A. in favor of aspirinB. against the use of aspirinC. not interested in aspirinD. experienced in how to take aspirin30.A good title for thisd passage would be_____A.The Side Effects of AspirinB.Why I Take AspirinC.Aspirin:The Most Popular Medicine in the WorldD.The Commercial Value of AspirinSection B (15 points)Directions: In this section, there is a passage with 10 blanks.

Each choice in blank is identified by a letter. Please mark the corresponding letter for each item on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.Question 31-40 are based on the following passage.The world is not only hungry, but it is also thirsty for water. This may 31 strange to you, since nearly 75% of the earth's surface is covered with water. But about 97% of that is sea water, or salt water. Man can only drink and use the other 3% the 32 water that----?---from rivers, lakes, underground, and other sources. And we can not even use all of that. -----------of it is in the form of icebergs and glaciers,Even worse, some of it has been 33 .However, as things stand today, this fresh water is still enough for us. But our need for water is becominglarger and larger quickly-almost day by day. We should take steps to do with this problem now and in thisway we can get away from a serious world-wide water shortage (缺乏) later on.We all have to learn how to stop wasting (浪费) our valuable water. One of the first steps is to develop(开发) ways of reusing it. Today in most large cities, water is used only once and then sent out into a sewersystem(下水道). From there it returns to sea or runs into underground places. But even if every large cityreused its water, we still would not have enough. All we'd have to do to make use of sea water in the worldis to remove the salt. If we take these we will be in no danger of drying up.IV.

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. Choose the correct answer and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. Passage OneHow much living space does a person need? What happens when his space requirements are not adequately met? Sociologists and psychologists are conducting experiments on rats to try to determine the effect of overcrowded conditions on man. Recent studies have shown that the behavior of rats is greatly affected by space. If rats have adequate living space, they eat well, sleep well, and reproduce well. However, iftheir living conditions become too crowded, their behavior patterns and even their health perceptibly change. They cannot sleep or eat well, and signs of fear and tension become obvious. The more crowded they are, the more they tend to bite each other and even kill each other. Thus for rats, population and violence are directly related. Is this a natural law for human society as well? Is adequate space not only desirable, but also essential for human survival?51. This passage is mainly about ______.A) living space and behaviorB) population and living conditionsC) interesting experiments on ratsD) a natural law for human society52. What is the purpose of the experiments described in the passage?A) To determine how much living space a rat needs.B) To see what happens when rats live in a limited space.C) To know the likely effects of inadequate living space on human beings.D) To find out the relationship between population and living conditions.How would rats behave when their living conditions become too crowded? 53.A) They eat a lot and become friendly to others.B) They sleep little and act quite peacefully.C) They eat little but sleep soundly.D) They become nervous and tend to be war-like.The passage suggests that overcrowded conditions ______. 54.A) are directly related with populationB) may cause an increase in violenceC) may lead to high birth rateD) may bring about pollution problemsPassage TwoMany people hope that the whole world will one day speak a common language. Over the Years, people have made up new languages with this aim. At least six hundred languages have been developed in the search for a language which all human beings would be able to speak. The most famous one, Esperanto ( 世界语) , was the idea of Ludwig Zamenhof, a doctor in Warsaw. He published a book about his new language in 1887.To encourage people to learn the Language, he made it as simple as possible. Esperanto has never been accepted as an official world language, but it has been suggested as an auxiliary language. By 1950 it had been taught to one and a half million speakers, and it was spoken in six hundred schools. Today Esperanto is spoken by about eight million people, and more than one hundred newspapers and magazines in the language are published regularly throughout the world. Thousands of books have been written in Esperanto, including those translated from other languages.Today the need for a new auxiliary language like Esperanto seems less obvious. Throughout this century English has grown more and more important. It has become a second language for many millions of people. The fact that more are learning Englishshows that the use of English is still growing worldwide. No one would deny the usefulness of world language, but not many people think that Esperanto is likely to play such a role.55. Over the years, people have made up new languages in the hope that ______.A) all people will be able to speak a common languageB) people will learn a foreign language betterC) people can understand each other betterD) people will be able to speak several languages56. Zamenhof made the language as simple as possible because ______.A) he wanted people to learn it quicklyB) he hoped more and more people would be willing to learn itC) he wanted everyone to speak it without any difficultyD) he hoped it would be accepted as an official world languageWhich of the following is NOT true of English?57.A) It is widely taught in schools.B) It has become a second language for many millions of people.C) Many books have been written in English.D) It is less popular than Esperanto.What is the best title of the passage? 58.A) The language made by one man.B) A talk about the world language.C) English as a second language for everyone.D) Esperanto—a better language than English.Passage ThreeAfter the violent earthquake that shook Los Angeles in 1994, earthquakescientists had news to report: The damage and death toll could have been much worse. More than 60 people died in this earthquake. By comparison, an earthquake of similar intensity that shook America in 1988 claimed 25 ,000 victims.Injuries and deaths were relatively less in Los Angeles because the quake occurred at 4:31 a. m. on a holiday, when traffic was light on the city's highways. In addition, changes made to the construction codes in Los Angeles during the last 20 years have strengthened the city ' s buildings and highways, making them more resistant to quakes.Despite the good news, civil engineers aren't resting on their successes. Pinned to their drawing boards are blueprints for improved quake - resistant buildings. The new designs should offer even greater security to cities where earthquakes often take place. In the past, making structures quake - resistant meant firm yet flexible materials, such as steel and wood, that bend without breaking. Later, people tried to lift a building off its foundation, and insert rubber and steel between the building and its foundation to reduce the impact of ground vibrations. The most recent designs give buildings brains as well as concrete and steel supports. Called smart buildings, the structures respond like living organisms to an earthquake's vibrations. When the ground shakes and the building tips forward, the computer would force the building to shift in the oppositedirection.The new smart structures could be very expensive to build. However, they would save many lives and would be less likely to be damaged during earthquakes.59. One reason why the loss of lives in the Los Angeles earthquake was comparatively low was that ______.A) new computers had been installed in the buildingsB) it occurred in the residential areas rather than on the highwaysC) large numbers of Los Angeles residents had gone for a holidayD) improvements had been made in the construction of buildings and highways60. The function of the computer mentioned in the passage is to ______.A) counterbalance an earthquake's action on the buildingB) predict the coming of an earthquake with accuracyC) help strengthen the foundation of the buildingD) measure the impact of an earthquake' s vibrationsbycaused damage the minimizing in that passage the from inferred be can It 61. earthquakes attention should be focused on ______.A) the increasing use of rubber and steel in capital constructionB) the development of flexible building materialsC) the reduction of the impact of ground vibrationsD) early forecasts of earthquakes62. The main purpose of this passage is mostly to______.A) compare the consequences of the earthquakes that occurred in the U. S.B) encourage civil engineers to make extensive use of computersC) outline the history of the development of quake - resistant building materialsD) report new developments in constructing quake - resistant buildingSection BDirections; Match the Chinese sentences in the left column with the English in the right column, mark the corresponding letter on the Answer with a single line through the centre.63. 首先，他如此努力工作并非只为A) The desire to keep the respect of a了钱他一心为了教育青年人并设goodnamepropelledmetobecomethe激励他们在各方面取得进步first in our family to go to college.64.要保持好名声多赢得的那份尊重B)Shieldingchildrenfromthe这一渴求促使我成为全家第一个上大knowledgethattheyhavefailedis的人anythingbutbeneficialtotheirdevelopment.65.我们必须唤醒人们认识到环境C)Wemustwakenpeopletothe护的重要性。

Each passage is followed by some questions or incomplete statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice, and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneI strongly believe that understanding is more important than love, especially when it comes to parenting and intimate relationships. As a psychologist for more than twenty years I can tell you that I have never had an adult looking back at her childhood and complaining that her parents were too understanding. And similarly, I have met many divorced people who still love each other but yet they never really understood each other.The painful reality is love is just not enough. I’ll admit that there are people who I love and who I still need to better understand. I hope I’ll continue my work to understand them. The willingness to understand is very important. It is not always easy, but healthy love is strengthened by the willingness to understand. Love without understanding will wilt like flowers without water.Our egos are what seem to get in the way of understanding those who we love and care about. Often it is our need to be right that makes what others think and feel so wrong for us. I have certainly been quite guilty of this in some of my relationships.As I have written repeatedly in my books, empathy, is truly the emotional glue that holds all close relationships together. Empathy allows us to slow down and try to walk in the shoes of those we love. The deeper our empathy, the deeper—and healthier— our love. Not all relationships are meant to be. Yet all relationships that are meant to flourish in a healthy way, must stress understanding just as much, if not more, than love.61. From the passage we know that _______.A. the author complains about her parents’ being too understandingB. the author has been studying marriages for more than 20 yearsC. people divorced mainly because they didn’t love each otherD. some people divorced because they couldn’t understand each other62. Why are we unable to understand the others sometimes?_______.A. Because we are caring the others too much.B. Because it is quite difficult to understand the others.C. Because we believe we are always right.D. Because the others have done something wrong.63. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?________.A. Understanding is more important to parenting relationship than to other intimate relationships.B. Understanding is less important than love as far as marriage is concerned.C. Understanding is more important than love to some degree.D. Understanding is more often neglected in parenting relationship.64. If we are to understand our partners, we should firstly________ .A. have willingness to do soB. have love for themC. get into connection with themD. care about them65. In this passage, the expression “walk in the shoes of” is similar in meaning to________ .A. befriendB. understandC. loveD. care aboutpassage twoFinally, the Christmas season is over. We can take a long breath ,put up our feet, sip from a cup of good tea and relax. The frenzy,starting from Black Friday after Thanksgiving until Christmas Eve, of gift shopping, buying, wrapping, giving, receiving, opening, returning...is exhaustive and time-consuming, but it takes place every year.There is considerable difference between the cultures in China and western countries when it comes to gift giving. In China, it is not polite to open a gift in front of the gift giver, and gift is only looked at after the guest has left. Here in America, gift givers always wrap their gifts, large or small, priceless or valueless, carefully and decorate them with colorful ribbons and litter pretty paper flowers; and the lucky receiver is expected to open the gift right away in front of the giver, with great eagerness and curiosity, and should always express appreciation with the all time truthful comment,” this is just exactly what I wanted!” Well, as a matter of face, most people would take their “always wanted” gifts back to the store to exchange for sometime they really wanted.Finding a gift somebody, even a close family member, you’ll have to know what the person likes and shop for days before you can locate the perfect gift. But, still the person may not like the gift from you. Nowadays, stores would provide tow copies of the receipts for anything they sell as a gift, one of which is included in the gift packaged so that the receiver can come back for an exchange, I know, it was unthinkable to cash out gift you get, but, times are different. Another good way to avoid all that shopping hassle is to purchase a gift card from one of the stores and send it to your niece, nephews, or a family member, so that they can get whatever they want or even keep the money.66.Finding a gift for somebody is a(n)_______.A. easy jobB. tough taskC. must-be jobD. arranged task67. It is quite ______ for Chinese people to open the gift in front of the givers.A. usualB. normalC. abnormalD. unusual68. Gift giving is the same thing in China and America in that_____.A. people spend a lot of time preparing a gift.B. people would cash out the gift immediatelyC. people are eager to open to get a gift from a friendD. people are less willing to give gifts69.Which of the following is the author’s suggestion?________.A. Open the gift immediately in front of the giver.B. Wrap the gift carefully.C. Express the appreciation for the gift you receiveD. Buying a present card to avoid the trouble in shopping70.The author’s attitude towards gift giving is_______.A. indifferentB. protestingC. objectiveD. supportivePassage ThreeThey already guide blind and disabled people; now dogs are to be trained to help people with dementia. The duties of these "guide dogs for the mind" will include reminding their owners to take medication, as well as encouraging them to eat, drink and sleep at regular intervals.The dementia dogs will be trained to respond to sound triggers in the home that prompt them to perform tasks. These could include delivering a bite-proof bag of medicine with a note inside reminding the patient to take it, or waking them up in the morning.The idea was developed by design students at the Glasgow School of Art and will now be put into practice by Alzheimer's Scotland and Dogs for the Disabled. .Joyce Gray of Alzheimer's Scotland said: "People in the early stages of dementia are still able to live a relatively normal life, and dogs help to maintain routine."The other advantage of using the pets as companions is that conversation can be increasingly confusing for people with Alzheimer's, but dogs can give them a sense of silent support and companionship. People light up when they see animals. They don't need to communicate verbally but they can still interact. You can have a speechless bond."The dog would also encourage the owner to take them out for walks, making sure they keep exercising and interacting with other people.71.As is mentioned in the passage, the guide dogs will do the following except for_____.A. helping ensure the owner doing some exercisesB. reminding the owner to take medicineC. communicating with the owner in a non-verbal wayD. helping the o wner recover from the illness72.Who will train the dogs to perform such tasks?________.A. The students who developed the ideaB. The owners of the dogsC. The experts in Alzheimer’s ScotlandD. It is not mentioned in the passage.73.What is true about the people suffering from dementia?________.A. They would like to stay with other peopleB. They can maintain routineC. They will gradually lose the ability to live a normal lifeD. They would like to talk in a different way74.The guide dogs helping the people with dementia will_______.A. respond to the owners orderB. respond to a sound deviceC. act on the owners instructionsD. act on the trainers order75.Having a conversation with people with dementia will be_______.A. difficultB. interestingC. confusingD. encouragingPassage FourIt seems obvious that you don’t give away your product for free but this is exactly what indie rock group The Crimes did earlier this year. The band’s reasoning goes like this :more people will download the free album that would pay for it. Therefore more people will hear The Crimea’s music. These people will then pay money for concerts by the band and perhaps buy a T-shirt or other merchandise. If the band play regular concerts to crowds of 200 or 300 people they can make more money than they would from sales of a CD. There will always be some people who want something they can hold in their hands so they will release the CD into the shops too --- but making money through sales of their music isn’t the top priority.The story illustrates the creative thinking going on in the music business in response to dramatic change over the last few years in the way that people buy music. Sales of music digitally --- to computer, phones and MP3 players rose to $2 billion in 2006 --- an increase of almost 100 percent on the previous year --- yet overall record company sales are down.This trend looks set to continue so the big question for the music industry is whether they can successfully manage the move to being primarily a digital industry without profits falling to unacceptable levels.There are both positive and negative signs. On the plus side, more and more people are buying music on mobile phones, which allows people to make impulse purchases --- they can buya song as soon as they hear it. Research by the UK mobile operator 3 suggested that 75 percent of16 to 24-year-olds wanted to buy a track they liked as soon as they heard it. With so much competition for people’s disposable income, a product that you can sell immediately is a big advantage.The bad news for record companies, however, is the amount of music that is downloaded illegally. Piracy --- usually in the form of cheaply copied CD --- has long been an issue for the music business but the internet means music can be copied and distributed freely through file-sharing sites on a large scale than ever before.It is this situation that leads bands to start giving away their music for free and promise tp make the next few years a very interesting time in the music business.76. What is unusual about the Crimea’s business plan?_______.A. Their business was given away free on the Internet.B. They gave CDs away free in shops.C. They played free concerts.D. They charged more for their CDs.77. The Crimes hope to make money _______.A. through CD salesB. by giving concerts and selling T-shirts and other merchandiseC. by selling merchandise on the InternetD. through sales of merchandise in shops78. The Crimea also released CDs for sale in shop because _______.A. people who attend their concerts need themB. they want to make extra moneyC. there are still people who prefer CDs to other formatsD. people who fail to attend their concerts need them79. What is true about sales of music over the last year?________.A. Overall, sales are up on last year.B. Overall, sales are down on last year.C. There is no change compared to previous sales.D. It is not mentioned in the passage.80. What effect has the internet had on music piracy?_________.A. It has made it easier to fight piracy.B. It has increased it easier to illegally copy music.C. It made it easier to illegally copy music.D. It has reduced the number of pirate CDs available.Part IV Translation (2*10)Directions : There are 10 sentences in this section .

For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B ,C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer onthe ANSWER SHEET.Passage OneKids often ask Scout Bassett, of Palm Desert, California, if she wishes she had two normal legs. Scout, 18,answers, “No. I have never known anything different, and it would seem weird to me. Besides, if it weren^t for themissing leg, I wouldn?t have the opportunities I have today!”Scout has faced big challenges. When she was only months old,she suffered from terrible burns. Her right leg wasespecially damaged,and doctors cut it off above the knee. When she was 14,she got a high-tech leg made for sportsand put it to the test right away in a race for disabled athletes. “I remember being terrified because this was my firsttime，’’ she says. “But my doctor said，‘You have to start somewhere. ’ ”Scout was waiting nervously for the race to start when athlete Sarah Reinertsen came up and said，“I’ve beendoing this for a while. Let me give you some tips. ’’ R einertsen，who lost her leg when she was seven, is the firstdisabled woman to have finished the Ironman Triathlon(铁人三项）in Hawaii. She works with an organization tohelp support people like Scout.Reinertsen’s encouragement changed the teenager^s life. S he lost that first race, but gained the confidence thatshe needed to compete. If Sarah could do it,she could too. Training hard, she now runs competitively and also findstime to share her story with school groups.“Sometimes people look at me or at Sarah and think they have nothing in common with us. I tell them that even ifyou arenJt physically challenged, everybody has challenges of some kind —maybe with family，or homework,orfriends. No matter what it is,you can over-come that obstacle，” she says. “Everything you need is inside your heart.Take small steps. As time goes by,the steps will get bigger and you will reach your dream.”16. Why does Scout answer “No” when asked if she wants two normal legs?A. She?s scared of changing her current situation.B.She couldn't have them even if she wanted to.C.She has never thought about it before.D.She’s satisfied with what she has achieved as a disabled.17. What does the doctor mean by saying “You have to start somewhere”（Para. 2)?A.She has to do it sooner or later.B.She has to find the right place to start.C.That will be a memorable first time.D.That is a perfect time to start.18. Scout’s childhood experiences____.A.were the cause of her shynessB.were a nightmare until she reached 14C.didn’t stop her from fulfilling herselfD.didn’t have much influence on her later life19. Which of the following statements is true?A.Sarah shared her story with school students.B.Sarah started to compete at the age of seven.C.Scout has been inspired by Sarah’s success.D.Scout joined Sarah’s organization to help others.20. Through Scout’s story，the author wants to tell us that ____ .A.the disabled are mentally stronger than othersB.inner strength can help one overcome difficultiesC.good things will come no matter whatD.everybody has to challenge himselfPassage TwoImpatience has been around for a long time. There is nothing new about people losing their patience while stuckin traffic or waiting in line. But some experts believe that people are less patient today than in the past.Some analysts suggest that in recent years many people are less patient because of technology. They suggest that"digital technology, from cellphones to e-mails to iPads, is changing our lives. The instant results we get from thistechnology have in turn increased our appetite for instant satisfaction in other aspects of our lives."Psychologist Jennifer Hartstein makes some observations. She explains that “we have become animmediate satisfaction culture, and we expect things to move quickly, efficiently and in the way we want. When thatdoesn7t happen, we tend to become increasingly frustrated and unsatisfied. “Some believe that e-mail is losing popularity and could soon become outdated. Why? Because many people whosend messages do not have the patience to wait hours, or even minutes, for a response. Also, with e-mails, as withletter writing, introductory and concluding greetings are often expected. But many people consider suchformalities(客套)to be boring and time-consuming. They prefer instant messaging. Many people do not take the timeto proofread what they put in writing. As a result, letters and e-mails contain numerous grammatical andtypographical errors.The thirst for immediate results is not limited to the realm of digital communications. People seem to be losingtheir ability to wait in other areas of life. For instance, do you ever find yourself talking too fast, eating too fast,driving too fast, or spending money too fast? The few moments it takes to wait for an elevator to come, for a trafficlight to change, or for a computer to start may seem like too long a time.21. According to the first paragraph,people______ .A. were more patient in the pastB. have been patient for a long timeC. used to be patient while stuck in trafficD. used to be patient while waiting in line22. Nowadays people lose their patience because .______A. their desire for satisfaction has increasedB. they are bored with what they haveC. they have more things to do than beforeD. their life has been changed by technology23. Some believe that e-mail could soon become outdated because_______ .A. it takes a long time to start the computerB. people value formalities between friendsC. people can hardly wait for a responseD. cellphones are more popular nowadays24. The pursuit of instant results causes people to __.A. become more impoliteB. have more errors in their writingsC. use voice messages instead of emailsD. lose many of their abilities in life25. The best title for the passage might be “”A. What Are the Problems Caused by Impatience?B. Are We Less Patient Today?C. What Happened to Technology?D. Has Digital Technology Changed Our Lives?Passage ThreeScientists measured the impact that people have on the environment using a term called carbon “footprint. ” Thatfootprint reflects the amount of carbon dioxide that is emitted(排放）into the atmosphere as a result of someone’sdaily activities. Carbon footprints tend to be low for city dwellers(城镇居民）. Living in a suburb outside a city,however, can turn that footprint into a bootprint.Energy researchers Christopher Jones and Daniel Kammen calculated carbon footprints for people in every zipcode across the United States. People living in city centers had small footprints, the researchers found. ,lIt is mucheasier to have a low carbon impact if your home is close to where you work, shop and play,” explains Jones. Livingwithin walking or biking distance cuts back on the amount of carbon dioxide associated with moving people by cars.And cities with extensive bus and subway networks allow people to travel great distances while keeping releases ofclimate-altering greenhouse gases low.Not everyone can afford to live in the city, however. And not everyone wants to. Rings of suburbs have popped uparound major cities across the world. Suburbs offer more space, allowing people to build larger homes. Suburbs mayoffer better schools for a family?s kids. But those homes are typically well beyond walking distance from where theirowners work, play or learn. So people who live in suburbs often drive long distances. The new findings are an important contribution to climate research, says Matthew Kahn,an environmentaleconomist at the University of California, who was not involved with the study. Kahn would like to see the analysisapplied to other parts of the world—Europe, India and China, for instance. That would give scientists a better feel forhow culture might mix with location to influence our carbon footprints.26. “Footprint” refers to the amount of carbon dioxide released by.A. an industryB. an individualC. a regionD. a country27. What is the new finding concerning the footprints of people living in cities and those living in suburbs?A. The two are not at all comparable.B. The former are higher than the latter.C. The latter are higher than the former.D. The former are similar to the latter.28. What is the key factor mentioned to explain the new "findings?A. Distance travelled by cars.B. Spending habits.C. Size of families.D. Attitude towards energy saving.29. What does Matthew Kahn think of the new findings?A. He is confused by the mixed messages.B. He thinks highly of them.C. He can easily understand them.D. He doubts their validity.30. What is the purpose of the author in writing the passage?A. To call on people to reduce carbon footprints.B. To offer tips on how to live a low-carbon life.C. To clear up misunderstandings about carbon emission.D.

Noranoticed a guy sitting inside a cardboard box next to a newsstand. She pulled at my coat sleeve and said, “That manJscold,Daddy. Can we take him home?”I don’t remember my reply,but I do remember a sudden heavy feeling inside me. I had always been delighted athow much my daughter noticed in her world, whether it was birds in flight or children playing. But now she wasnoticing suffering and poverty. She wasn’t even four.A few days later,I saw an article in the newspaper about volunteers who delivered meals to elderly people. Thevolunteers went to a nearby school on a Sunday morning,picked up a food package,and delivered it to an elderlyperson. I signed us up. Nora was excited about it. She could understand the importance of food, so she could easilysee how valuable our job was. When Sunday came, we picked up the package and phoned the elderly person weMbeen assigned. She invited us right over.The building was depressing. When the door opened, facing us was a silver-haired woman in an old dress. Shetook the package and asked if we would like to come in. Nora ran inside. I reluctantly followed. Our hostess showedus some photos of her family. Nora played and laughed. I accepted a second cup of tea. When it came time to saygood-bye, we three stood in the doorway and hugged. I walked home in tears. Where else but as volunteers do you have the opportunity to do something enjoyable that’s good for yourself aswell as for others? Indeed, the poverty my daughter and I helped lessen that Sunday afternoon was not the woman?salone 一it was in our lives, too. Now Nora and I regularly serve meals to needy people and collect clothes for thehomeless. Yet,as I’ve watched her grow over these past four years,I still wonder —which of us has benefited more?31.

There was a woman living there, and I had _31_ met her, yet I could see her sic by her window each afternoon, sewing or reading.Several months later, I began to notice that her window was dirty._32_ was unclear through the dirty window. I would say to myself .“I _33_ why that woman doesn’t wipe her window. It really looks terrible.”One bright morning I decided to _34_ my flat, including wiping the windows on the inside. Late in the afternoon when I finished the work, I sat down by the window with a cup of coffee for a rest. What a (an)_35_! Across the way, the woman sitting by her window was _36_ visible. Her window was clean.Then it dawned (明白)on me. I have been criticizing (批评)her dirty window, but all the time I was watching hers through my dirty window.That was quite an important lesson for me.

And his company learned from its _43_, Now the company asks its workers to _44_15% of their work time just thinking about and developing new ideas.Creativity is not something one is just born with. Creativity is the matter of _45_ your intelligence to think of new ideas that are good for something.We know that many schools have tried to develop students’ creativity, _46_ some teachers only want to develop st udents’ reading, writing and math skills, and have to give up creativity for correct answers. Children from such schools can give correct answers, but they are unable to use them to work out problems.It is important _47_ children choices.

They say more Americans need to take a nap—that is to rest for a short period in the middle of the day. They give people advice to sleep lightly before continuing with other activities. The experts say naps might improve health by reducing pressure.Some European and Latin American companies have supported the idea of napping for many years. They ask people to leave work, go home and have a nap before returning. In the United States, some companies let workers rest simply in their offices. They believe this can help workers make fewer mistakes and also increase the amount of work that a person can do.Sleep experts say it is likely that people make more mistakes at work than at other time. They suggest that people should not carry out important tasks when they feel sleepy. And they believe the best thing to do is to take a nap. About 20 minutes of rest is all you need. Experts say this provides extra energy and can increase your efficiency until the end of the day. Bat they point out that a nap should last no more than 20 to 30 minutes.

Since I was young, Ihave learned a lot about the country and become interested in it. For a long time I had wanted to do something for the country and people there, and I thought volunteering (做志愿者)would be a good and fun way to do so.I received the greatest pleasure from being with the children.Teaching my first English class in Aeeh was exciting but I was rather nervous. As time passed by, I learned how to be a better teacher. Teaching was actually the most enjoyable of my many responsibilities (责任).Many children were shy at first. But when they relaxed, they would start talking and telling you a lot of funny things. I believed we were helping them build up their confidence.For the children who are more in need, the Education Program (TEP) will collect donations (募捐)to help them.As a volunteer, I had to visit TEP children at home once a month and help them write a thank-you letter to their sponsors.

He’d need a fan or a strong wind to help him putthem out.While many people in China will remember Confucius on his special day, few people in the United States will give him a passing thought, because it’s nothing personal. Most Americans don’t even remember the birthdays of their own national heroes.But this doesn’t mean that Americans don’t care about Confucius. In many ways he hasbecome a bridge that foreigners muse cross if they want to reach a deeper understanding of China.In the past two decades, the Chinese Study Programs have gained large popularity in Western universities. More recently, the Chinese government has set up Confucius Institutes in more than 80 countries. These schools teach both Chinese language and culture. The main courses of Chinese culture usually include Chinese art, history and philosophy ( 哲学). Some social scientists suggest that Westerners should take advantage of the ancient Chinese wisdomto make up for the drawbacks (缺陷) of Western philosophy. Students in the United States, atthe same time, are racing to learn Chinese. Businessmen who hope to make money in China are reading books about Confucius to understand their Chinese customers.Today China attracts the West more than ever, and more teachers are needed to introduce Confucius and Chinese culture to the West.66.

According to a 2009 Washington post report, US students are also giving government jobs a hard look. “T he Partnership for Public Service”poll(民意调查) found that about 90% of US students are interested in federal (联邦政府的) jobs. Nearly 84% gave the security offered by federal jobs as a reason.The same goes for students in the UK. A 2008 Daily Mail report found that applications from college graduates for government civil service jobs have surged 33% over 2007.Besides providing financial security, civil service jobs usually offer other benefits, especially in Asia. In India, for example, the average annual income is about $8, 116-more than 10 times higher. Plus, civil servants get a one-month paid holiday every year, 20 days of medical leave and 20-day half-paid vacation.1.

His various methods of trick, which were also skills of self-protection, were so skillful and so desperate(绝望)that neither I nor any of his other adult friends were aware ofhis entire helplessness in face of written words until we went to dinner one night at a local restaurant-and suddenly discovered that he could not read.Even here, it was not the first time we went out to eat, but something like the second or third, that Peter's desperation shocked me. The first time, he was clever enough to cover the truth. He studied the menu for a moment, then looked up to the waitress and asked her if he could have "just a coke and a hamburger". He told me later that he had done the same thing many times before and that he had learned to act as if he were examining the menu:" Then I ask for a coke and a hamburger…… Sometimes they give me a hamburger on a plate with salad and potatoes...Then I ask them for a roll and make my own hamburger. "As we began to go out to eat more frequently, Peter would ask to go to Howard Johnson’s. I soon discovered the reason for his choice: The photographs, attached in cellophane (玻璃纸)containers to each of the standard items on the menu, could help him not to struggle with the shape of words at all. Howard Johnson’s, whether intentionally or not, had provided the perfect escape for the endangered pride of an adult who was illiterate(文盲).6. When he went to a restaurant, Peter would .A. pretend that he could not read or writeB. pretend to be studying the menuC. be desperate for help from other peopleD. protect himself by playing a musical instrument7.

Howard Johnson's provided a perfect escape when anything dangerous should happenB. The menu at Howard Johnson's gave a clear introduction of the food it served.C. The photographs attached to the main items on the menu helped conceal his illiteracyD. He would feel at ease because eaters at Howard Johnson's were all adult non-readersPassage 3Listening is an extremely complex communicative activity. In order to have a better understanding, to anticipate what is coming is very important. An effective listener should continuously develop more or less specific readiness for what will come next. If a listener hears what he has expected, it will be much easier for him to receive the information. But if what he hears is totally out of his expectation, he will fail to get the message.The skill to anticipate what is coming in listening comprehension depends largely on thelistener's familiarity with the theme(主题)of the message. It also depends on the listener's knowledge of the speaker as well as the situation.Obviously, when we listen to something that we already have some information about, it is generally much easier for us to take in the new information .Therefore, pre-listening preparation seems to play an important role in increasing our comprehension .Before actual listening, we could perhaps first give some thought to the topic, discuss it with others, and then read some related material and do some vocabulary work. If we could make ourselves fully prepared for the coming talks or lectures, we are more likely to become effective listeners.Of course, readiness beforehand is not at all enough .Active thinking must take place all the way through. In fact, we should always try to think ahead of the speaker.11. The passage is most possible taken from ____ .A. a novelB. a textbookC. a news reportD. a fashion magazine12. What is the first paragraph mainly about?A. How to think actively in listening comprehension.B. How to develop specific readiness before listening.C.

Critical.Passage 4S postcards has become an interesting hobby for people who are curious about the big world in which they live .S postcards can keep pen friends in touch.
