Reading Comprehension 30%Direction: Choose the best answer to complete each of the questions after the passages.Passage 1What makes one person more intelligent than another? What makes one person agenius, like the brilliant Albert Einstein, and another person a fool? Are people born intelligent or stupid, or is intelligence the result of where and how you live? These are very old questions and the answers to them are still not clear.We know, however, that being born with a good mind is not enough. In some way, the mind is like a leg or an arm muscle. It needs exercise. Mental exercise is particularly important for young children. Many child psychologists think that parents should play with their children more often and give them problems to think about. The children are then more likely to grow up bright and intelligent. If, on the other hand, children are left alone a great deal with nothing to do, they are more likely to become dull and unintelligent.Parents should also be careful about what they say to young children. According to some psychologists(心理学家), if parents are always telling a child that he or she is a fool, then the child is more likely to keep doing silly and foolish things. So it is probably better for parents to say very positive things to their children, such as “That was a very clever thing you did.”or “You are such a smart child.”What do you think? Are people born intelligent or do they become intelligent with the help of good parents and teachers?21. The answers to the questions concerning intelligence are .A. as clear as delightB. very obviousC. quite unclearD. nowhere to be found22. Which of the following is probably the main factor to decide children’s intelligence according to the passage?A. A lot of physical exerciseB. Relationship between children and parentsC. A kind of exercise that needs the intelligence of the parentsD. Plenty of mental exercise shared by both parents and children23. A dull and unintelligent child .A. usually lives aloneB. is usually neglected by his parents or he has few friendsC. is friendlessD. usually has no parents24. Why should parents be careful about what they say?A. Because children are too young to listen to sweet words.B. Because children like to listen to sweet words.C. Because words speak louder than actions.D. Because their words have either a positive or a negative influence on children.25. The word “smart”(line 7, paragraph 3) has all of the following meanings except .A. fashionableB. brightC. wittyD. cleverPassage 2Michael Van Adams was a model student in high school—president of his senior class, captain of the tennis team, and a straight-A student. So when he received an academic scholarship to the University of Maine, nobody was surprised. Havingexcelled both academically and socially at his small high school in rural New Hampshire, Van Adams expected more of the same in college. He was wrong.Van Adams did poorly on his first couple of exams and even received a failing grade on his first term paper. Instead of asking his professors or classmates for help, Van Adams began to isolate himself, spending hours alone in his dorm room where he would play video games or send e-mails to friends back home. To make matters worse, he became homesick during his first weeks of college, longing for his high school friends and sweetheart, who was attending a community college in New Hampshire.“I did all the wrong things,” says Van Adams. “Instead of seeing my first couple of failures as wake-up calls, I became depressed and immediately started passing the blame onto others. I told my parents that the professors were awful and didn’t like me;I told my girlfriend that the kids who went there were snobs and no fun at all. Basically, I blamed everyone but myself.”Van Adams also told himself that the University of Maine wasn’t for him. He dropped out a couple of weeks before completing his first semester. “Frankly, I wasn’t properly pre pared for college,” he says. “I didn’t go into my freshman year with the right attitude. At age 18, I thought I had the world figured out; I thought I could ace my college classes like in high school. I couldn’t have been more off. I was failing three clas ses, and I didn’t see the point of sticking around.”26. What is the main point of the first paragraph?A. Everyone expected Michael Van Adams to be a good student of University ofMaine.B. Michael Van Adams did not prove to be a good student in college.C. Michael Van Adams was an excellent high school student.D. Universities favor versatile students like Michael Van Adams.27. What did Van Adams do when he did poorly in several exams?A. He asked his professors for help.B. He sought for seclusion (隔离) in his own world.C. He went home to meet his high school friends.D. He transferred to a community college in his hometown.28. Why did Michael Van Adams fail in college?A. He did wrong things and put the blame onto others.B. The professors did not appreciate his talents.C. He and his girl friend were not in the same school.D. He paid attention to nothing but video games.29. “Ac e” in the last paragraph probably means “”.A. passB. failC. get an AD. do better than others30. Michael Van Adams’ case is to illustrate .A. college freshmen dropoutB. preparation for collegeC. different criterion between high school and collegeD. how to do well in college classesPassage 3Within about 50 million years, one of the mammals (哺乳动物) that lives in a marine environment, the whale (鲸), has developed into the largest of all animal forms. However, at least for the last 150 years, trouble has closed in on whales from humans.Whales have been hunted since about the eleventh century. Certain types of whales have been hunted too much. Recently, their number has been reduced so greatly that they are in danger of becoming extinct (灭绝的). People are worried about the fact that the number of whales is getting smaller and smaller. They are working to save them.There are reasons why people want to protect the whales. One reason is that whales help to keep a balance between plants and animals. People have been throwing their wastes into the oceans and seas, and these wastes increase the amount of salt in ocean and seawater. The increased salt helps some plants and some very small creatures to grow but these plants and small creatures are harmful to fish. However, whales are eating large numbers of plants and animals that grow in very salty water. In this way, whales are doing a good job as they keep the ocean water clean enough for the fish. In addition, because fish supply necessary food for many people, whales become our good friends which we want to save.Some people are now working to save whales by using the law. They hold meetings to ask fishermen to reduce the number of whales which can be killed in a year. They also work within countries to persuade law makers to make whaling against the law and to make the use of whale products against the law too.Now this struggle to save whales is going on in many places in the world. Some governments will not let people sell whale products in their countries. Other governments have changed the law about whaling. Many people believe that since the number of whales is regarded as a serious world problem, the remaining whales will be saved.31. The passage mainly discussed .A. the strange behaviors of whalesB. the advantages of too many whalesC. the mysterious life of whalesD. the protection of whales32. According to the passage, certain kinds of whales will soon .A. die outB. find some other places to live inC. die from pollutionD. kill most of the plants and small creatures33. Whales are helpful to humans because .A. they can communicate with humansB. they make the oceans more and more saltyC. they often save sailors lost in a stormD. they eat a large quantity of plants and creatures harmful to fish34. From the passage we know that during the last 150 years humanshave .A. returned to natureB. learned how to swimC. threatened the existence of some marine mammalsD. begun to harvest certain plants from the ocean as food35. Salt in the oceans usually .A. decreases the plants which are harmful to fishB. increases the plants and small creatures that do harm to fishC. gets rid of harmful plants and creaturesD. removes the wastes thrown into themIII. Complete each sentence with the correct form of the word given 15%36. As teachers, we need to take ______ for looking after our students’health.(responsible)37. Not all students ______ know what they are going to learn when they take acourse. (true)38. The couple mailed their wedding ______ to guests two months before theirwedding. (invite)39.

The mystery of the homing pigeon is on how it navigates and how it finds home. We now know that there are two ways that pigeons tell directions. First, they use the sun. Just getting rough directions from the sun is easy. However, getting accurate directions from the sun takes more care. To tell direction accurately from the sun, one needs to know the exact time.All plants and animals seem to have built-in clocks. Usually these biological clocks are not quite exact in measuring time. However, they work pretty well, because they are “reset” every day, maybe when the sun gets up.Do pigeons use their biological clocks to help them find direction from the sun? We can experiment to find out. We can keep pigeons in a room lighted only by lamps. And we can time the lighting to make their artificial “days” start at some different time from the rea l outside day. After a while we have shifted their clocks. Now we take them far away from home and let them go on a sunny day. Most of them start out as if they know just which way to go, but choose a wrong direction. They have picked a direction that would be correct for the position of the sun and the time of day according to their shifted clocks.The above experiment shows that homing pigeons can tell directions by the sun. What happens when the sky is darkly overcast by clouds and no one can see where the sun is? The pigeons still find their way home. So it seems that pigeons also have some extra sense of direction from the earth’s magnetic field when they cannot see the sun.1. Pigeons have been used as messengers, for they have special ability ______B_______.A. to send lettersB. to find homeC. to carry food for menD. to lead the way for people2. The secret of the homing pigeons is ________B_____.A. how they find foodB. how they find homeC. how they take a letterD. how they take care of children3. All plants and animals reset their biological clocks when ________A______.A. the sun risesB. the sun setsC. the moon risesD. the moon sets4. The experiment tells us that the pigeons fly ____C__ because of the shifted biological clocks.A. in a wrong directionB. in a correct directionC. in all directionsD. in a circle5. Pigeons have ___C___ to tell the direction when it is cloudy by using the earth’s magnetic field.A. sharp eyesB. sensitive hearingC. sense of directionD. brain wavesPassage 2The speaker, a teacher from a community college, addressed a sympathetic audience. Heads nodded in agreement when he said, "High school English teachers are not doing their jobs." He described the inadequacies of his students, all high school graduates who can use language only at a grade 9 level. I was unable to determine from his answers to my questions how this grade 9 level had been established.My topic is not standards nor its decline (降低). What the speaker was really saying is that he is no longer young; he has been teaching for sixteen years, and is able to think and speak like a mature adult.My point is that the frequent complaint of one generation about the one immediately following it is inevitable. It is also human nature to look for the reasons for our dissatisfaction. Before English became a school subject in the late nineteenth century, it was difficult to find the target of the blame for language deficiencies (缺陷). But since then, English teachers have been under constant attack.The complainers think they have hit upon an original idea. As their own command of the language improves, they notice that young people do not have this same ability. Unaware that their own ability has developed through the years, they assume the new generation of young people must be hopeless in this respect. To the eyes and ears of sensitive adults the language of the young always seems inadequate.Since this concern about the decline and fall of the English language is not perceived as a generational phenomenon but rather as something new and peculiar to today's young people, it naturally follows that today's English teachers cannot be doing their jobs. Otherwise, young people would not commit offenses against the language.6. The speaker the author mentioned in the passage believed that __D___.A. the language of the younger generation is usually inferior to that of the older generationB. the students had a poor command of English because they didn't work hard enoughC. he was an excellent language teacher because he had been teaching English for sixteen yearsD. English teachers should be held responsible for the students' poor command of English7. In the author's opinion, the speaker ___B___.A. gave a correct judgment of the English level of the studentsB. had exaggerated the language problems of the studentsC. was right in saying that English teachers were not doing their jobsD. could think and speak intelligently8. The author's attitude towards the speaker's remarks is ___C___.A. neutralB. positiveC. criticalD. compromising9. It can be concluded from the passage that ___D___.A. it is justifiable to include English as a school subjectB. the author disagrees with the speaker over the stadard of English at Grade 9 levelC. English language teaching is by no means an easy jobD. Language improvement needs time and effort10. In the passage the author argues that ___A___.A. it is unfair to blame the English teachers for the language deficiencies of the studentsB. young people would not commit offences against the language if the teachers did their jobs properlyC. to eliminate language deficiencies one must have sensitive eyes and earsD. to improve the standard of English requires the effort of several generationsPassage 3Is there a “success personality”— some winning combination of qualities that leads almost inevitably to achievement? If so, exactly what is that secret success formula, and can anyone cultivate it?At the Gallup Organization we recently focused in depth on success, probing the attitudes and qualities of 1 500 prominent people selected at random from Who’s Who in America. Our research finds out a number of qualities that occur regularly among top achievers. Here is one of the most important, that is, common sense.Common sense is the most prevailing quality possessed by our respondents(回答者). Seventy-nine percent award themselves a top score in this category. And 61 percent say that common sense was very important in contributing to their success.To most, common sense means the ability to present sound, practical judgments on everyday affairs. To do this, one has to sweep aside extraneou s ideas and get right to the core of what matters. A Texas oil and gas businessman puts it this way: “The key ability for suc cess is simplifying. In conducting meetings and dealing with industry, reducing a complex problem to the simplest terms is highly i mportant.”Is common sense a quality a person is born with, or can you do something to increase it? The oil man’s answer is that common sense can definitely be developed. He attributes his to learning how to debate in school. Another way to increase your store of common sense is to observe it in others, learning from their — and your own — mistakes.Besides common sense, there are many other factors that influence success: knowing your field, self-reliance, intelligence, the ability to get things done, leadership, creativity, relationships with others, and of course, luck. But common sense stands out. If you cultivate these quali ties, you’ll succeed. And you might even find yourself listed in Who’s Who someday.11. It can be known from the passage that Who’s Who___C___.A. is a very useful book telling us how to succeedB. is a book providing us with the information about the family life of some famous peopleC. is a book providing us with the names and brief biographies of the top successful peopleD. is a book from which we can find out the names of different peoples in the world12. According to the author, common sense____B__.A. is something that common people like bestB. is something that enables one to form correct opinionsC. is a popular quality a person is born withD. is a quality that is possessed by common people13. The word“extraneous” in Paragraph 4 most probably means__D____.A. rightB. extraordinaryC. clearD. not related14. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a factor for success? BA. Intelligence.B. Modesty.C. Creativity.D. Good luck.15. The passage is mainly concerned with___D___.A. organizational ability and good work habitsB. the way to obtain big profits and achieve fame and successC. knowledge and interest which are primary to successD. what successful people have in commonPassage 4Baekeland and Hartmann report that the “short sleepers” had been more or less average in their sleep needs until the men were in their teens. But at about age 15 or so, the men voluntarily began cutting down their nightly sleep time because of pressures from school, work, and other activities. These men tended to view their nightly periods of unconsciousness as bothersome interruptions in their daily routines.In general, these “short sleeps” appeared ambitious, active, energetic, cheerful, conformist(不动摇) in their opinions, and very sure about their career choices. They often held several jobs at once, or workers full-or part-time while going to school. And many of them had a strong urge to a ppear “normal” or “acceptable” to their friends and associates.When asked to recall their dreams, the “short sleepers” did poorly. More than this, they seemed to prefer not remembering. In similar fashion, their usual way of dealing with psychological problems was to deny that the problem existed, and then to keep busy in the hope that the trouble would go away.The sleep patterns of the “short sleepers” were similar to, but less extreme than, sleep patterns shown by many mental patients categorized as manic(疯人).The “long sleepers” were quite different indeed. Baekeland and Hartmann report that these young men had been lengthy sleeps since childhood. They seemed to enjoy their sleep, protected it, and were quite concerned when they were occasionally deprived of their desired 9 hours of nightly bed rest. They tended to recall their dreams much better than did the “short sleepers.”Many of the “long sleepers”were shy, anxious, introverted (内向), inhibited (压抑), passive, mildly depressed, and unsure of themselves (particularly in social situations). Several openly states that sleep was an escape from their daily problems.16. According to the report,___D___.A. many short sleepers need less sleep by natureB. many short sleepers are obliged to reduce their nightly sleep time because they are busy with their workC. long sleepers sleep a longer period of time during the dayD. many long sleepers preserve their sleeping habit formed during their childhood17. Many “short sleepers”are likely to hold the view that __C___.A. sleep is a withdrawal from the realityB. sleep interferes with their sound judgementC. sleep is the least expensive item on their routine programD. sleep is the best way to deal with psychological troubles18. It is stated in the third paragraph that short sleepers __B___.A. are ideally vigorous even under the pressures of lifeB. often neglect the consequences of inadequate sleepC. do not know how to relax properlyD. are more unlikely to run into mental problems19. When sometimes they cannot enjoy adequate sleep, the long sleepers might __A__.A. appear disturbedB. become energeticC. feel dissatisfiedD. be extremely depressed20. Which of the following is Not included in the passage? BA. If one sleeps inadequately, his performance suffers and his memory is weakenedB. The sleep patterns of short sleepers are exactly the sane as those shown by many mental patientsC. Long and short sleepers differ in their attitudes towards sleepD. Short sleepers would be better off with more restPassage 5Not so long ago almost any student who successfully completes a university degree or diploma course could find a good career quite easily. However, those days are gone, even in Hong Kong, and nowadays graduates often face strong competition in the search for jobs.Job seekers first have to make a careful assessment of their own abilities. One area of assessment should be of their academic qualifications, which would include special skills within their subject area. Graduates should also consider their own personal values and attitudes, or the relative importance to themselves of such matters as money, security, leadership and caring for others.The second stage is to study the opportunities available for employment and to think about how the general employment situation is likely to develop in the future. After studying all the various options, they should be in a position to make informed comparisons between various careers.Job application forms and letters should, of course, be filled in carefully and correctly, without grammar or spelling errors.When graduates are asked to attend for interview, they should prepare properly by finding out all they can about the prospective employer. Dressing suitably and arriving for the interview on time are also obviously important. Interviewees should try to give positive and helpful answers and should not be afraid to ask questions about anything they are unsure about. This is much better than pretending to understand a question and giving an unsuitable answer.There will always be good career opportunities for people with ability, skills and determination; the secret to securing a good job to be one of them.21. In Paragraph 1, the sentence “… those days are gone, even in Hong Kong…” suggest that ___D___.A. Hong Kong is no longer the good place for finding jobsB. nowadays, everyone in Hong Kong has an equal chance of finding a good careerC. it used to be harder to find a good job in Hong Kong than in other countries.D. in the past, finding a good career was easier in Hong Kong than elsewhere22. The word “relative” in Paragraph 2 could best be replaced by “______B____”.A. familyB. comparativeC. considerateD. slight23. The advice given in the first sentence of Paragraph 3 is to ______B_____.A. find out what jobs are available and the opportunities for future promotionB. examine the careers available and how these will be affected in the futureC. look at the information on and probable future location of various careersD. study the opportunities and the kinds of training that will be available24. The word “prospective” in Paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to “___C____”.A. generousB. reasonableC. futureD. ambitious25. In paragraph 5, the writer seems to suggest that _____C___.A. interviewees should ask a question if they can’t think of an answerB. pretending to understand a question is better than giving an unsuitable answerC. it is better for interviewees to be honest than to pretend to understandD. it is not a good idea for interviewees to be completely honest in their answersPassage 6Some people believe that international sport creates goodwill between the nations and that if countries play games together they will learn to live together. Others say that the opposite is true: those international contests encourage false national pride and lead to misunderstanding and hatred. There is probably some truth in both arguments, but in recent years the Olympic Games have done little to support the view that sports encourage international brotherhood. Not only was there the tragic incident involving the murder of athletes, but the Games were also ruined by lesser incidents caused principally by minor national contests.One country received its second-place medals with visible indignation after the hockey final. There had been noisy scenes at the end of the hockey match, the losers objecting to final decisions. They were convinced that one of their goals should not have been disallowed and that their opponents’ victory was unfair. Their manager was in a rage when he said, “This wasn’t hockey. Hockey and the International Hockey Federation are finished.” The president of the Federation said later that such behavior could result in the suspension of the team for at le ast two years.The American basketball team announced that they would not yield first place to Russia, after a disputable end to their contest. The game had ended in disturbance. It was thought at first that the United States had won, by a single point, but it was announced that there were three seconds still to play. A Russian player then threw the ball from one end of the court to the other, and another player popped it into basket. It was the first time the USA had ever lost an Olympic basketball match. An appeal jury debated the matter for four and a half hours before announcing that the result would stand. The American players then voted for not to receive the silver medals.Incidents of this kind will continue as long as sport is played competitively rather than for the love of the game. The suggestion that athletes should compete as individuals, or in non-national team, might be too much to hope for. But in the present organization of the Olympics there is far too much that encourages aggressive patriotism.26. According to the author, recent Olympic Games have _____C_____.A. created good will between the nationsB. bred only false national prideC. barely showed any international friendshipD. led to more and more misunderstanding and hatred27. What did the mana ger mean by saying “… Hockey and the International Hockey Federation are finished.”BA. His team would no longer take part in the international games.B. Hockey and the Federation are both ruined by the unfair decisions.C. There should be no more hockey matches organized by the Federation.D. The Federation should be dissolved.28. The basketball example implied that ______A_____.A. too much patriotism was displayed in the incident.B. the announcement to prolong the match was wrongC. The appeal jury was too hesitant in making the decisionD. the American team was right in rejecting the silver medals29. The author gives the two examples in Paragraph 2 and 3 to show ____C____.A. how false national pride led to undesirable incidents in international gamesB. that sportsmen have been more obedient than they used to beC. that competitiveness in the games discourages international friendshipD. that unfair decisions are common in Olympic Games30. What conclusion can be drawn from the passage?DA. International contests are liable for misunderstanding between nations.B. Athletes should compete as individuals in the Olympic Games.C. Sport should be played competitively rather than for the love of the game.D. The organization of the Olympic Games must be improved.III. Vocabulary and Structure1.

The rise in global temperatures, known as global warming, is primarily caused by human activities such as burning fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial processes. The consequences of climate change include rising sea levels, more frequent and severe weather events, droughts, and disruptions to ecosystems.One of the most immediate impacts of climate change is the rise in global temperatures. This leads to the melting of glaciers and polar ice caps, which in turn results in rising sea levels. Coastal communities are already experiencing the effects of sea-level rise, with increased flooding and erosion becoming more common.Extreme weather events, such as hurricanes, wildfires, and heatwaves, are also becoming more frequent and intense due to climate change. These events not only pose a threat to human lives and property but also have a significant impact on agriculture, water resources, and infrastructure.Droughts are another consequence of climate change, with many regions experiencing longer and more severe dry spells. This has serious implications for food security, as crop yields are affected, and water scarcity becomes a growing concern.In addition to these direct impacts, climate change also disrupts ecosystems and threatens biodiversity. Species are facing challenges in adapting to rapidly changing environments, leading to declines in populations and even extinction.Overall, the effects of climate change are far-reaching and require immediate action to mitigate their impact. By reducing emissions, investing in renewable energy sources, and adopting sustainable practices, we can all play a part in protecting the planet for future generations.Questions:1. What are some causes of global warming?2. What are some consequences of rising global temperatures?3. How does climate change impact coastal communities?4. Give examples of extreme weather events exacerbated by climate change.5. Why are droughts a concern related to climate change?6. How does climate change affect ecosystems?Part 2: WritingWrite an essay on the following topic:The Importance of Environmental ConservationEnvironmental conservation is crucial for the health of the planet and all its inhabitants. As human activities continue to degrade the environment through deforestation, pollution, and overconsumption, it is essential that we take action to protect and preserve the natural world.One of the main reasons why environmental conservation is important is for the preservation of biodiversity. Ecosystems are complex networks of plants, animals, and microorganisms that rely on each other for survival. When species are lost due to habitat destruction or climate change, the balance of these ecosystems is disrupted, leading to cascading effects throughout the food chain.Furthermore, environmental conservation is vital for maintaining clean air and water. Pollution from industrial activities, agriculture, and waste disposal has contaminatednatural resources, threatening human health and the well-being of ecosystems. By reducing pollution and conserving natural habitats, we can ensure that future generations have access to clean air and water.In addition to protecting biodiversity and natural resources, environmental conservation also plays a role in mitigating climate change. By preserving forests, wetlands, and other carbon sinks, we can help sequester carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. This is essential for preventing further global warming and the associated impacts on the planet.In conclusion, environmental conservation is essential for the health of the planet and all its inhabitants. By preserving biodiversity, maintaining clean air and water, and mitigating climate change, we can create a sustainable future for generations to come.Part 3: Listening ComprehensionListen to the audio recording and answer the questions that follow:Audio Transcript:Speaker: Good morning, everyone. Today, we will be discussing the impact of plastic pollution on marine ecosystems. Plastic waste has become a major environmental issue, with millions of tons of plastic entering the oceans each year. This has devastating consequences for marine life, as animals become entangled in plastic debris or ingest it, leading to injury and death. It is essential that we take action to reduce plastic waste and protect our oceans for future generations.Questions:1. What is the topic of the discussion?2. What are some consequences of plastic pollution in the oceans?3. Why is it important to reduce plastic waste?That concludes the 2024 Jiangxi University of Technology Adult Degree English Exam.

The mystery of the homing pigeon is on how it navigates and how it finds home. We now know that there are two ways that pigeons tell directions. First, they use the sun. Just getting rough directions from the sun is easy. However, getting accurate directions from the sun takes more care. To tell direction accurately from the sun, one needs to know the exact time.All plants and animals seem to have built-in clocks. Usually these biological clocks are not quite exact in measuring time. However, they work pretty well, because they are “reset” every day, maybe when the sun gets up.Do pigeons use their biological clocks to help them find direction from the sun? We can experiment to find out. We can keep pigeons in a room lighted only by lamps. And we can time the lighting to make their artificial “days” start at some different time from the real outside day. After a while we have shifted their clocks. Now we take them far away from home and let them go on a sunny day. Most of them start out as if they know just which way to go, but choose a wrong direction. They have picked a direction that would be correct for the position of the sun and the time of day according to their shifted clocks.The above experiment shows that homing pigeons can tell directions by the sun. What happens when the sky is darkly overcast by clouds and no one can see where the sun is? The pigeons still find their way home. So it seems that pigeons also have some extra sense of direction from the earth’s magnetic field when they cannot see the sun.1. Pigeons have been used as messengers, for they have special ability ______B_______.A. to send lettersB. to find homeC. to carry food for menD. to lead the way for people2. The secret of the homing pigeons is ________B_____.A. how they find foodB. how they find homeC. how they take a letterD. how they take care of children3. All plants and animals reset their biological clocks when ________A______.A. the sun risesB. the sun setsC. the moon risesD. the moon sets4. The experiment tells us that the pigeons fly ____C__ because of the shifted biological clocks.A. in a wrong directionB. in a correct directionC. in all directionsD. in a circle5. Pigeons have ___C___ to tell the direction when it is cloudy by using the earth’s magnetic field.A. sharp eyesB. sensitive hearingC. sense of directionD. brain wavesPassage 2 The speaker, a teacher from a community college, addressed a sympathetic audience. Heads nodded in agreement when he said, "High school English teachers are not doing their jobs." He described the inadequacies of his students, all high school graduates who can use language only at a grade 9 level. I was unable to determine from his answers to my questions how this grade 9 level had been established. My topic is not standards nor its decline (降低). What the speaker was really saying is that he is no longer young; he has been teaching for sixteen years, and is able to think and speak like a mature adult. My point is that the frequent complaint of one generation about the one immediately following it is inevitable. It is also human nature to look for the reasons for our dissatisfaction. Before English became a school subject in the late nineteenth century, it was difficult to find the target of the blame for language deficiencies (缺陷). But since then, English teachers have been under constant attack. The complainers think they have hit upon an original idea. As their own command of the language improves, they notice that young people do not have this same ability. Unaware that their own ability has developed through the years, they assume the new generation of young people must be hopeless in this respect. To the eyes and ears of sensitive adults the language of the young always seems inadequate. Since this concern about the decline and fall of the English language is not perceived as a generational phenomenon but rather as something new and peculiar to today's young people, it naturally follows that today's English teachers cannot be doing their jobs. Otherwise, young people would not commit offenses against the language.6. The speaker the author mentioned in the passage believed that __D___.A. the language of the younger generation is usually inferior to that of the older generationB. the students had a poor command of English because they didn't work hard enoughC. he was an excellent language teacher because he had been teaching English for sixteen yearsD. English teachers should be held responsible for the students' poor command of English7. In the author's opinion, the speaker ___B___.A. gave a correct judgment of the English level of the studentsB. had exaggerated the language problems of the studentsC. was right in saying that English teachers were not doing their jobsD. could think and speak intelligently8. The author's attitude towards the speaker's remarks is ___C___.A. neutralB. positiveC. criticalD. compromising9. It can be concluded from the passage that ___D___.A. it is justifiable to include English as a school subjectB. the author disagrees with the speaker over the stadard of English at Grade 9 levelC. English language teaching is by no means an easy jobD. Language improvement needs time and effort10. In the passage the author argues that ___A___.A. it is unfair to blame the English teachers for the language deficiencies of the studentsB. young people would not commit offences against the language if the teachers did their jobs properlyC. to eliminate language deficiencies one must have sensitive eyes and earsD. to improve the standard of English requires the effort of several generationsPassage 3Is there a “success personality”— some winning combination of qualities that leads almost inevitably to achievement? If so, exactly what is that secret success formula, and can anyone cultivate it?At the Gallup Organization we recently focused in depth on success, probing the attitudes and qualities of 1 500 prominent people selected at random from Who’s Who in America. Our research finds out a number of qualities that occur regularly among top achievers. Here is one of the most important, that is, common sense.Common sense is the most prevailing quality possessed by our respondents(回答者). Seventy-nine percent award themselves a top score in this category. And 61 percent say that common sense was very important in contributing to their success.To most, common sense means the ability to present sound, practical judgments on everyday affairs. To do this, one has to sweep aside extraneous ideas and get right to the core of what matters. A Texas oil and gas businessman puts it this way: “The key ability for success is simplifying. In conducting meetings and dealing with industry, reducing a complex problem to the simplest terms is highly important.”Is common sense a quality a person is born with, or can you do something to increase it? The oil man’s answer is that common sense can definitely be developed. He attributes his to learning how to debate in school. Another way to increase your store of common sense is to observe it in others, learning from their — and your own — mistakes.Besides common sense, there are many other factors that influence success: knowing your field, self-reliance, intelligence, the ability to get things done, leadership, creativity, relationships with others, and of course, luck. But common sense stands out. If you cultivate these qualities, you’ll succeed. And you might even find yourself listed in Who’s Who someday.11. It can be known from the passage that Who’s Who___C___.A. is a very useful book telling us how to succeedIII. Vocabulary and Structure1.

Otherwise, young people would not commit offenses against the language.6.The speaker the author mentioned in the passage believed that D .A.the language of the younger generation is usually inferior to that of the older generationB.the students had a poor command of English because they didn't work hard enoughC.he was an excellent language teacher because he had been teaching English for sixteen yearsD.English teachers should be held responsible for the students' poor command of English7.In the author's opinion, the speaker B .A.gave a correct judgment of the English level of the studentsB.had exaggerated the language problems of the studentsC.was right in saying that English teachers were not doing their jobsD.could think and speak intelligently8.The author's attitude towards the speaker's remarks is C .A.neutralB. positiveC. criticalD. compromising9.It can be concluded from the passage that D .A.it is justifiable to include English as a school subjectB.the author disagrees with the speaker over the stadard of English at Grade 9 levelC.English language teaching is by no means an easy jobnguage improvement needs time and effort10.In the passage the author argues that A .A.it is unfair to blame the English teachers for the language deficiencies of the studentsB.young people would not commit offences against the language if the teachers did their jobs properlyC.to eliminate language deficiencies one must have sensitive eyes and earsD.to improve the standard of English requires the effort of several generationsPassage 3Is there a “success personality”— some winning combination of qualities that leads almost inevitably to achievement? If so, exactly what is that secret success formula, and can anyone cultivate it?At the Gallup Organization we recently focused in depth on success, probing the attitudes and qualities of 1 500 prominent people selected at random from Who’s Who in America. Our research finds out a number of qualiti es that occur regularly among top achievers. Here is one of the most important, that is, common sense.Common sense is the most prevailing quality possessed by our respondents(回答者). Seventy-nine percent award themselves a top score in this category. And 61 percent say that common sense was very important in contributing to their success.To most, common sense means the ability to present sound, practical judgments on everyday affairs. To do this, one has to sweep aside extraneous ideas and get right to the core of what matters. A Texas oil and gas businessman puts it this way: “The key abi lity for success is simplifying. In conducting meetings and dealing with industry, reducing a complex problem to the simplest terms is highly imp ortant.”Is common sense a quality a person is born with, or can you do something to increase it? The oil man’s answer is that common sense can definitely be developed. He attributes his to learning how to debate in school. Another way to increase your store of common sense is to observe it in others, learning from their — and your own — mistakes.Besides common sense, there are many other factors that influence success: knowing your field, self-reliance, intelligence, the ability to get things done, leadership, creativity, relationships with others, and of course, luck. But common sense stands out. If you cultivate these qualities, you’ll succeed. And you might even find yourself listed in Who’s Who someday.11.It can be known from the passage that Who’s Who C .A.is a very useful book telling us how to succeedB.is a book providing us with the information about the family life of some famous peopleC.is a book providing us with the names and brief biographies of the top successful peopleD.is a book from which we can find out the names of different peoples in the world12.According to the author, common sense B .A.is something that common people like bestB.is something that enables one to form correct opinionsC.is a popular quality a person is born withD.is a quality that is possessed by common people13.The word“extraneous” in Paragraph 4 most probably means D .A.rightB. extraordinaryC. clearD. not related14.Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a factor for success? BA.Intelligence.B. Modesty.C. Creativity.D. Good luck.15.The passage is mainly concerned with D .anizational ability and good work habitsB.the way to obtain big profits and achieve fame and successC.knowledge and interest which are primary to successD.what successful people have in commonPassage 4Baekeland and Hartmann report that the “short sleepers” had been more or less average in their sleep needs until the men were in their teens. But at about age 15 or so, the men voluntarily began cutting down their nightly sleep time because of pressures from school, work, and other activities. These men tended to view their nightly periods of unconsciousness as bothersome interruptions in their daily routines.In general, these “short sleeps” appeared ambitious, active, energetic, cheerful, conformist(不动摇) in their opinions, and very sure about their career choices. They often held several jobs at once, or workers full-or part-time while going to school. And many of them had a strong urge to appear “normal” or “acceptable” to their friends and associates.Wh en asked to recall their dreams, the “short sleepers” did poorly. More than this, they seemed to prefer not remembering. In s imilar fashion, their usual way of dealing with psychological problems was to deny that the problem existed, and then to keep busy in the hope that the trouble would go away.The sleep patterns of the “short sleepers” were similar to, but less extreme than, sleep patterns shown by many mental patien ts categorized as manic(疯人).The “long sleepers” were quite different indeed. Baekeland and Hartmann report that these young men had been lengthy sleeps s ince childhood. They seemed to enjoy their sleep, protected it, and were quite concerned when they were occasionally deprived of their desired 9 hours of nightly bed rest. They tended to recall their dreams much better than did the “short sleepers.”Many of the “long sleepers” were shy, anxious, introverted (内向), inhibited (压抑), passive, mildly depressed, and unsure of themselves (particularly in social situations). Several openly states that sleep was an escape from their daily problems.16.According to the report, D.A.many short sleepers need less sleep by natureB.many short sleepers are obliged to reduce their nightly sleep time because they are busy with their workC.long sleepers sleep a longer period of time during the dayD.many long sleepers preserve their sleeping habit formed during their childhood17.Many “short sleepers” are likely to hold the view that C .A.sleep is a withdrawal from the realityB.sleep interferes with their sound judgementC.sleep is the least expensive item on their routine programD.sleep is the best way to deal with psychological troubles18.It is stated in the third paragraph that short sleepers B .A.are ideally vigorous even under the pressures of lifeB.often neglect the consequences of inadequate sleepC.do not know how to relax properlyD.are more unlikely to run into mental problems19.When sometimes they cannot enjoy adequate sleep, the long sleepers might A .A.appear disturbedB. become energeticC. feel dissatisfiedD. be extremely depressed20.Which of the following is Not included in the passage? BA.If one sleeps inadequately, his performance suffers and his memory is weakenedB.The sleep patterns of short sleepers are exactly the sane as those shown by many mental patientsC.Long and short sleepers differ in their attitudes towards sleepD.Short sleepers would be better off with more restPassage 5Not so long ago almost any student who successfully completes a university degree or diploma course could find a good career quite easily. However, those days are gone, even in Hong Kong, and nowadays graduates often face strong competition in the search for jobs.Job seekers first have to make a careful assessment of their own abilities. One area of assessment should be of their academic qualifications, which would include special skills within their subject area. Graduates should also consider their own personal values and attitudes, or the relative importance to themselves of such matters as money, security, leadership and caring for others.The second stage is to study the opportunities available for employment and to think about how the general employment situation is likely to develop in the future. After studying all the various options, they should be in a position to make informed comparisons between various careers.Job application forms and letters should, of course, be filled in carefully and correctly, without grammar or spelling errors.When graduates are asked to attend for interview, they should prepare properly by finding out all they can about the prospective employer. Dressing suitably and arriving for the interview on time are also obviously important. Interviewees should try to give positive and helpful answers and should not be afraid to ask questions about anything they are unsure about. This is much better than pretending to understand a question and giving an unsuitable answer.There will always be good career opportunities for people with ability, skills and determination; the secret to securing a good job to be one of them.21.In Paragraph 1, the sentence “… those days are gone, even in Hong Kong…”s uggest that D .A.Hong Kong is no longer the good place for finding jobsB.nowadays, everyone in Hong Kong has an equal chance of finding a good careerC.it used to be harder to find a good job in Hong Kong than in other countries.D.in the past, finding a good career was easier in Hong Kong than elsewhere22.The word “relative” in Paragraph 2 could best be replaced by “ B ”.A.familyB. comparativeC. considerateD. slight23.The advice given in the first sentence of Paragraph 3 is to B .A.find out what jobs are available and the opportunities for future promotionB.examine the careers available and how these will be affected in the futureC.look at the information on and probable future location of various careersD.study the opportunities and the kinds of training that will be available24.The word “prospective” in Paragra ph 5 is closest in meaning to “ C ”.A.generousB. reasonableC. futureD. ambitious25.In paragraph 5, the writer seems to suggest that C .A.interviewees should ask a question if they can’t think of an answerB.pretending to understand a question is better than giving an unsuitable answerC.it is better for interviewees to be honest than to pretend to understandD.it is not a good idea for interviewees to be completely honest in their answersPassage 6Some people believe that international sport creates goodwill between the nations and that if countries play games together they will learn to live together. Others say that the opposite is true: those international contests encourage false national pride and lead to misunderstanding and hatred. There is probably some truth in both arguments, but in recent years the Olympic Games have done little to support the view that sports encourage international brotherhood. Not only was there the tragic incident involving the murder of athletes, but the Games were also ruined by lesser incidents caused principally by minor national contests.One country received its second-place medals with visible indignation after the hockey final. There had been noisy scenes at the end of the hockey match, the losers objecting to final decisions. They were convinced that one of their goals should not have been disallowed and that their opponents’ victory was unfair. Their manager was in a rage when he said, “This wasn’t hockey. Hock ey and the International Hockey Federation are finished.” The president of the Federation said later that such behavior could result in the suspension of the team for at le ast two years.The American basketball team announced that they would not yield first place to Russia, after a disputable end to their contest. The game had ended in disturbance. It was thought at first that the United States had won, by a single point, but it was announced that there were three seconds still to play. A Russian player then threw the ball from one end of the court to the other, and another player popped it into basket. It was the first time the USA had ever lost an Olympic basketball match. An appeal jury debated the matter for four and a half hours before announcing that the result would stand. The American players then voted for not to receive the silver medals.Incidents of this kind will continue as long as sport is played competitively rather than for the love of the game. The suggestion that athletes should compete as individuals, or in non-national team, might be too much to hope for. But in the present organization of the Olympics there is far too much that encourages aggressive patriotism.26.According to the author, recent Olympic Games have C.A.created good will between the nationsB.bred only false national prideC.barely showed any international friendshipD.led to more and more misunderstanding and hatred27.What did the manager mean by saying “… Hockey and the International Hockey Federation are finis hed.”BA.His team would no longer take part in the international games.B.Hockey and the Federation are both ruined by the unfair decisions.C.There should be no more hockey matches organized by the Federation.D.The Federation should be dissolved.28.The basketball example implied that A .A.too much patriotism was displayed in the incident.B.the announcement to prolong the match was wrongC.The appeal jury was too hesitant in making the decisionD.the American team was right in rejecting the silver medals29.The author gives the two examples in Paragraph 2 and 3 to show C .A.how false national pride led to undesirable incidents in international gamesB.that sportsmen have been more obedient than they used to beC.that competitiveness in the games discourages international friendshipD.that unfair decisions are common in Olympic Games30.What conclusion can be drawn from the passage?DA.International contests are liable for misunderstanding between nations.B.Athletes should compete as individuals in the Olympic Games.C.Sport should be played competitively rather than for the love of the game.D.The organization of the Olympic Games must be improved.III.Vocabulary and Structure1.It is just as hard to persuade my wife not to dance _B to keep me from the football field.A.so it isB. as it isC. so is itD. as is it2.The committee B different opinions about the financial help given to the workers.A.hasB. haveC. havingD. having had3.Nothing is A time; yet nothing is less valued.A.more precious thanB. less precious thanC. most preciousD. as precious as4.

The mystery of the homing pigeon is on how it navigates and how it finds home. We now know that there are two ways that pigeons tell directions. First, they use the sun. Just getting rough directions from the sun is easy. However, getting accurate directions from the sun takes more care. To tell direction accurately from the sun, one needs to know the exact time.All plants and animals seem to have built-in clocks. Usually these biological clocks are not quite exact in measuring time. However, they work pretty well, because they are “reset” every day, maybe when the sun gets up.Do pigeons use their biological clocks to help them find direction from the sun We can experiment to find out. We can keep pigeons in a room lighted only by lamps. And we can time the lighting to make their artificial “days” start at some different time fr om the real outside day. After a while we have shifted their clocks. Now we take them far away from home and let them go on a sunny day. Most of them start out asif they know just which way to go, but choose a wrong direction. They have picked a direction that would be correct for the position of the sun and the time of day according to their shifted clocks.The above experiment shows that homing pigeons can tell directions by the sun. What happens when the sky is darkly overcast by clouds and no one can see where the sun is The pigeons still find their way home. Soit seems that pigeons also have some extra sense of direction from the earth’s magnetic field when they cannot see the sun.1. Pigeons have been used as messengers, for they have special ability ______B_______.A. to send lettersB. to find homeC. to carry food for menD. to lead the way for people2. The secret of the homing pigeons is ________B_____.A. how they find foodB. how they find homeC. how they take a letterD. how they take care of children3. All plants and animals reset their biological clocks when________A______.A. the sun risesB. the sun setsC. the moon risesD. the moon sets4. The experiment tells us that the pigeons fly ____C__ because of the shifted biological clocks.A. in a wrong directionB. in a correct directionC. in all directionsD. in a circle5. Pigeons have ___C___ to tell the direction when it is cloudy by using the earth’s magnetic field.A. sharp eyesB. sensitive hearingC. sense of directionD. brain wavesPassage 2The speaker, a teacher from a community college, addressed a sympathetic audience. Heads nodded in agreement when he said, "High school English teachers are not doing their jobs." He described the inadequacies of his students, all high school graduates who can use language only at a grade 9 level. I was unable to determine from his answers to my questions how this grade 9 level had been established.My topic is not standards nor its decline (降低). What the speaker was really saying is that he is no longer young; he has been teachingfor sixteen years, and is able to think and speak like a mature adult.My point is that the frequent complaint of one generation about the one immediately following it is inevitable. It is also human nature to look for the reasons for our dissatisfaction. Before English became a school subject in the late nineteenth century, it was difficult to find the target of the blame for language deficiencies (缺陷). But since then, English teachers have been under constant attack.The complainers think they have hit upon an original idea. As their own command of the language improves, they notice that young people donot have this same ability. Unaware that their own ability has developed through the years, they assume the new generation of young people mustbe hopeless in this respect. To the eyes and ears of sensitive adultsthe language of the young always seems inadequate.Since this concern about the decline and fall of the Englishlanguage is not perceived as a generational phenomenon but rather as something new and peculiar to today's young people, it naturally follows that today's English teachers cannot be doing their jobs. Otherwise, young people would not commit offenses against the language.6. The speaker the author mentioned in the passage believed that __D___.A. the language of the younger generation is usually inferior to that of the older generationB. the students had a poor command of English because they didn't work hard enoughC. he was an excellent language teacher because he had been teaching English for sixteen yearsD. English teachers should be held responsible for the students' poor command of English7. In the author's opinion, the speaker ___B___.A. gave a correct judgment of the English level of the studentsB. had exaggerated the language problems of the studentsC. was right in saying that English teachers were not doing their jobsD. could think and speak intelligently8. The author's attitude towards the speaker's remarks is ___C___.A. neutralB. positiveC. criticalD. compromising9. It can be concluded from the passage that ___D___.A. it is justifiable to include English as a school subjectB. the author disagrees with the speaker over the stadard of English at Grade 9 levelC. English language teaching is by no means an easy jobD. Language improvement needs time and effort10. In the passage the author argues that ___A___.A. it is unfair to blame the English teachers for the language deficiencies of the studentsB. young people would not commit offences against the language if the teachers did their jobs properlyC. to eliminate language deficiencies one must have sensitive eyes and earsD. to improve the standard of English requires the effort of several generationsPassage 3Is there a “success personality”— some winning combination of qualities that leads almost inevitably to achievement If so, exactly what is that secret success formula, and can anyone cultivate itAt the Gallup Organization we recently focused in depth on success, probing the attitudes and qualities of 1 500 prominent people selected at random from Who’s Who in America. Our res earch finds out a number of qualities that occur regularly among top achievers. Here is one of the most important, that is, common sense.Common sense is the most prevailing quality possessed by our respondents(回答者). Seventy-nine percent award themselves a top scorein this category. And 61 percent say that common sense was very important in contributing to their success.To most, common sense means the ability to present sound, practical judgments on everyday affairs. To do this, one has to sweep aside extraneous ideas and get right to the core of what matters. A Texas oil and gas businessman puts it this way: “The key ability for success is simplifying. In conducting meetings and dealing with industry, reducing a complex problem to the simplest terms is hi ghly important.”Is common sense a quality a person is born with, or can you do something to increase it The oil man’s answer is that common sense can definitely be developed. He attributes his to learning how to debate in school. Another way to increase your store of common sense is to observe it in others, learning from their — and your own — mistakes.Besides common sense, there are many other factors that influence success: knowing your field, self-reliance, intelligence, the ability to get things done, leadership, creativity, relationships with others, and of course, luck. But common sense stands out. If you cultivate these qualities, you’ll succeed. And you might even find yourself listed in Who’s Who someday.11.

The passage is mainly concerned with___D___.A. organizational ability and good work habitsB. the way to obtain big profits and achieve fame and successC. knowledge and interest which are primary to successD. what successful people have in commonPassage 4Baekeland and Hartmann report that the “short sleepers” had been more or less average in their sleep needs until the men were in their teens. But at about age 15 or so, the men voluntarily began cutting down their nightly sleep time because of pressures from school, work, and other activities. These men tended to view their nightly periods of unconsciousness as bothersome interruptions in their daily routines.In general, these “short sleeps” appeared ambitious, active, energetic, cheerful, conformist(不动摇) in their opinions, and very sure about their career choices. They often held several jobs at once, or workers full-or part-time while going to school. And many of them had a strong urge to appear “normal” or “acceptable” to their friends and associates.When asked to recall their dreams, the “short sleepers” did poorly. More than this, they seemed to prefer not remembering. In similar fashion, their usual way of dealing with psychological problems was to deny that the problem existed, and then to keep busy in the hope that the trouble would go away.The sleep patterns of the “short sleepers” were similar to, but less extreme than, sleep patterns shown by many mental patients categorized as manic(疯人).The “long sleepers” were quite different indeed. Baekeland and Hartmann report that these young men had been lengthy sleeps since childhood. They seemed to enjoy their sleep, protected it, and were quite concerned when they were occasionally deprived of their desired 9 hours of nightly bed rest. They tended to recall their dreams much better than did the “short sleepers.”Many of the “long sleepers” were shy, anxious, introverted (内向), inhibited (压抑), passive, mildly depressed, and unsure of themselves (particularly in social situations). Several openly states that sleep was an escape from their daily problems.16. According to the report,___D___.A. many short sleepers need less sleep by natureB. many short sleepers are obliged to reduce their nightly sleep time because they are busy with their workC. long sleepers sleep a longer period of time during the dayD. many long sleepers preserve their sleeping habit formed during their childhood17. Many “short sleepers” are likely to hold the view that __C___.A. sleep is a withdrawal from the realityB. sleep interferes with their sound judgementC. sleep is the least expensive item on their routine programD. sleep is the best way to deal with psychological troubles18. It is stated in the third paragraph that short sleepers __B___.A. are ideally vigorous even under the pressures of lifeB. often neglect the consequences of inadequate sleepC. do not know how to relax properlyD. are more unlikely to run into mental problems19. When sometimes they cannot enjoy adequate sleep, the long sleepers might __A__.A. appear disturbedB. become energeticC. feel dissatisfiedD. be extremely depressed20. Which of the following is Not included in the passage? BA. If one sleeps inadequately, his performance suffers and his memory is weakenedB. The sleep patterns of short sleepers are exactly the sane as those shown by many mental patientsC. Long and short sleepers differ in their attitudes towards sleepD. Short sleepers would be better off with more restPassage 5Not so long ago almost any student who successfully completes a university degree or diploma course could find a good career quite easily. However, those days are gone, even in Hong Kong, and nowadays graduates often face strong competition in the search for jobs.Job seekers first have to make a careful assessment of their own abilities. One area of assessment should be of their academic qualifications, which would include special skills within their subject area. Graduates should also consider their own personal values and attitudes, or the relative importance to themselves of such matters as money, security, leadership and caring for others.The second stage is to study the opportunities available for employment and to think about how the general employment situation is likely to develop in the future. After studying all the various options, they should be in a position to make informed comparisons between various careers.Job application forms and letters should, of course, be filled in carefully and correctly, without grammar or spelling errors.When graduates are asked to attend for interview, they should prepare properly by finding out all they can about the prospective employer. Dressing suitably and arriving for the interview on time are also obviously important. Interviewees should try to give positive andhelpful answers and should not be afraid to ask questions about anything they are unsure about. This is much better than pretending to understand a question and giving an unsuitable answer.There will always be good career opportunities for people with ability, skills and determination; the secret to securing a good job to be one of them.21. In Paragraph 1, the sentence “… those days are gone, even in Hong Kong…” suggest that ___D___.A. Hong Kong is no longer the good place for finding jobsB. nowadays, everyone in Hong Kong has an equal chance of finding a good careerC. it used to be harder to find a good job in Hong Kong than in other countries.D. in the past, finding a good career was easier in Hong Kong than elsewhere22. The word “relative” in Paragraph 2 could best be replaced by“______B____”.A. familyB. comparativeC. considerateD. slight23. The advice given in the first sentence of Paragraph 3 is to______B_____.A. find out what jobs are available and the opportunities for future promotionB. examine the careers available and how these will be affected in the futureC. look at the information on and probable future location of various careersD. study the opportunities and the kinds of training that will be available24. The word “prospective” in Paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to “___C____”.A. generousB. reasonableC. futureD. ambitious25. In paragraph 5, the writer seems to suggest that _____C___.A. interviewees should ask a question if they can’t think of an answerB. pretending to understand a question is better than giving an unsuitable answerC. it is better for interviewees to be honest than to pretend to understandD. it is not a good idea for interviewees to be completely honest in their answersPassage 6Some people believe that international sport creates goodwill between the nations and that if countries play games together they will learn to live together. Others say that the opposite is true: those international contests encourage false national pride and lead to misunderstanding and hatred. There is probably some truth in both arguments, but in recent years the Olympic Games have done little to support the view that sports encourage international brotherhood. Not only was there the tragic incident involving the murder of athletes, but the Games were also ruined by lesser incidents caused principally by minor national contests.One country received its second-place medals with visible indignation after the hockey final. There had been noisy scenes at the end of the hockey match, the losers objecting to final decisions. They were convinced that one of their goals should not have been disallowed and that their opponents’ victory was unfair. Their manager was in a ragew hen he said, “This wasn’t hockey. Hockey and the International Hockey Federation are finished.” The president of the Federation said later that such behavior could result in the suspension of the team for at least two years.The American basketball team announced that they would not yieldfirst place to Russia, after a disputable end to their contest. The game had ended in disturbance. It was thought at first that the United States had won, by a single point, but it was announced that there were three seconds still to play. A Russian player then threw the ball from one end of the court to the other, and another player popped it into basket. It was the first time the USA had ever lost an Olympic basketball match. An appeal jury debated the matter for four and a half hours before announcing that the result would stand. The American players then voted for not to receive the silver medals.Incidents of this kind will continue as long as sport is played competitively rather than for the love of the game. The suggestion thatathletes should compete as individuals, or in non-national team, might be too much to hope for. But in the present organization of the Olympics there is far too much that encourages aggressive patriotism.26. According to the author, recent Olympic Games have _____C_____.A. created good will between the nationsB. bred only false national prideC. barely showed any international friendshipD. led to more and more misunderstanding and hatred27. What did the manager mean by saying “… Hockey and theInternational Hockey Federation are finished.”BA. His team would no longer take part in the international games.B. Hockey and the Federation are both ruined by the unfair decisions.C. There should be no more hockey matches organized by the Federation.D. The Federation should be dissolved.28. The basketball example implied that ______A_____.A. too much patriotism was displayed in the incident.B. the announcement to prolong the match was wrongC. The appeal jury was too hesitant in making the decisionD. the American team was right in rejecting the silver medals29. The author gives the two examples in Paragraph 2 and 3 to show____C____.A. how false national pride led to undesirable incidents in international gamesB. that sportsmen have been more obedient than they used to beC. that competitiveness in the games discourages international friendshipD. that unfair decisions are common in Olympic Games30. What conclusion can be drawn from the passage?DA. International contests are liable for misunderstanding between nations.B. Athletes should compete as individuals in the Olympic Games.C. Sport should be played competitively rather than for the love of the game.D. The organization of the Olympic Games must be improved.III. Vocabulary and Structure1.

The first and second passage is followed by 5 questions each. You are required to choose the best answer to each question according to the passage. For the third passage, you are required to answer each question.Passage oneQuestions 1 to 5 are based on the following passageIt doesn’t come as a surprise to you to realize that it makes no difference what you read to s tudy if you can’t remember it. You just waste your valuable time. Maybe you have already discovered some clever ways to keep yourself from forgetting.One dependable aid that does help you remember what you study is to have a specific purpose or reason for reading. You remember better what you read when you know why you are reading.Why does a clerk in a store go away and leave you when your reply to her offer to help is “No, thank you, I’m just looking”? Both you and she know that if you aren’t sure what y ou want, you are not likely to find it. But suppose you may say instead, “Yes, I want a pair of sun glasses.” She says, “Right this way, please.” And you and she are off—both eager to look for exactly what you want. If you are looking for nothing in particular, you are likely to get just that—nothing. But if you do know what you want, and if you have the right book, you are almost sure to get it. Your reasons will vary—they will include reading or studying “to find out more about”, “to understand the reasons for”, and “to find out how”. A good student has a clear purpose or reason for what he is doing.That is the way it works. Before you start to study, you say to yourself something like this, “I want to know why Stephen Vincent Benet happened to write about America. I’m reading this article to find about” or, “I’m going to skim this story to see what life was like in medieval England”. Because you know why you are reading or studying, you relate the information to your purpose and remember it better.Reading is not one single activity. At least two important processes go on at the same time. As you read, you take in ideas rapidly and accurately. But at the same time you express your own ideas to yourself as you react to what you read. You have a kind of mental conversation with the author. If you expressed your ideas orally, they might sound like this: “Yes, I agree. That’s my opinion too” or “Umm, I thought that record was broken much earlier. I’d better check those dates,” or “ But there are some other facts to be considered!” You don’t just sit there taking in ideas—you do something else, and that something else is very important.This traditional process of thinking about what you read includes evaluating it, relating it to what you already know, and using it for your own purposes. In other words, a good reader is a critical reader. One part of critical reading, as you have discovered, is distinguishing between facts and opinions. Facts can be checked by evidence. Opinions are one’s own personal reactions. Another part of critical reading is judging sources. Still another part is drawing accurate inferences.1. If you cannot remember what you read or study,____________［A］it is nothing out of the ordinary.［B］it means you have not really learned anything.［C］it means you have not chosen the right book.［D］you realize it is of no importance.2. The author mentions “a clerk” in Paragraph 3 to _____________［A］show that a clerk is usually very helpful.［B］indicate the importance of reading with a purpose.［C］suggest a clerk may be as forgetful as you are.［D］exemplify the harmonious relationship between clerk and customer.3. Before you start reading, it is important to ________________［A］choose an interesting book.［B］relate the information to your purpose.［C］remember what you read.［D］make sure why you are reading.4. Reading activity involves _____________［A］only two simultaneous process.［B］primarily learning about ideas and evaluating them critically.［C］merely distinguishing between facts and opinions.［D］mainly drawing accurate inferences.5. A good reader is one who ____________［A］relates what he reads to his own knowledge about the subject matter.［B］does lots of thinking in his reading.［C］takes a critical attitude in his reading.［D］is able to check the facts presented against what he has already known. Passage TwoQuestions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage.There are few more sobering online activities than entering data into college-tuition calculators and gasping as the Web spits back a six-figure sum. But economists say families about to go into debt to fund four years of partying, as well as studying, can console themselves with the knowledge that college is an investment that, unlike many bank stocks, should yield huge dividends.A 2008 study by two Harvard economists notes that the “labor-market premium to skill”—or the amount college graduates earned that’s greater than what high-school graduate earned—decreased for much of the 20th century, but has come back with a vengeance (报复性地) since the 1980s. In 2005, The typical full-time year-round U.S. worker with a four-year college degree earned $50,900, 62% more than the $31,500 earned by a worker with only a high-school diploma.There’s no question that going to college is a smar t economic choice. But a look at the strange variations in tuition reveals that the choice about which college to attend doesn’t come down merely to dollars and cents. Does going to Columbia University (tuition, room and board $49,260 in 2007-08) yield a 40% greater return than attending the University of Colorado at Boulder as an out-of-state student ($35,542)? Probably not. Does being an out-of-state student at the University of Colorado at Boulder yield twice the amount of income as being an in-state student ($17,380) there? Not likely.No, in this consumerist age, most buyers aren’t evaluating college as an investment, butrather as a consumer product—like a car or clothes or a house. And with such purchases, price is only one of many crucial factors to consider.As with automobiles, consumers in today’s college marketplace have vast choices, and people search for the one that gives them the most comfort and satisfaction in line with their budgets. This accounts for the willingness of people to pay more for different types of experiences (such as attending a private liberal-arts college or going to an out-of-state public school that has a great marine-biology program). And just as two auto purchasers might spend an equal amount of money on very different cars, college students (or, more accurately, their parents) often show a willingness to pay essentially the same price for vastly different products. So which is it? Is college an investment product like a stock or a consumer product like a car? In keep ing with the automotive world’s hottest consumer trend, maybe it’s best to characterize it as a hybrid (混合动力汽车); an expensive consumer product that, over time, will pay rich dividends.6. What’s the opinion of economists about going to college?A．Huge amounts of money is being wasted on campus socializing.B．It doesn’t pay to run into debt to receive a college education.C．College education is rewarding in spite of the startling costs.D．Going to college doesn’t necessarily bring the expected retu rns.7. The two Harvard economists note in their study that, for much of the 20th century, ________.A．enrollment kept decreasing in virtually all American colleges and universitiesB．the labor market preferred high-school to college graduatesC．competition for university admissions was far more fierce than todayD．the gap between the earnings of college and high-school graduates narrowed8. Students who attend an in-state college or university can ________.A．save more on tuitionB．receive a better educationC．take more liberal-arts coursesD．avoid traveling long distances9. In this consumerist age, most parents ________.A．regard college education as a wise investmentB．place a premium on the prestige of the CollegeC．think it crucial to send their children to collegeD．consider college education a consumer product10. What is the chief consideration when students choose a college today?A．Their employment prospects after graduation.B．A satisfying experience within their budgets.C．Its facilities and learning environment.D．Its ranking among similar institutions.Passage Three:I am afraid to sleep. I have been afraid to sleep for the last few weeks. I am so tired that, finally, I do sleep, but only for a few minutes. It is not a bad dream that wakes me ; it is the reality I took with me into sleep . I try to think of something else. Immediately the woman in the marketplace comes into my mind. I was on my way to dinner last night when I saw her . She was selling skirts. She moved with the same ease and loveliness I often saw in the women of Laos. Her long black hair was as shiny as the black silk of the skirts she was selling. In her hair, she wore three silk ribbons, blue, green, and white. They reminded me of my childhood and how my girlfriends and I used to spend hours braiding ribbons into our hair. I don’t know the word for “ribbons”, so I put my hand to my own hair and , with three fingers against my head , I looked at her ribbons and said “Beautiful.” She lowered her eyes and said nothing. I wasn’t sure if she understood me (I don’t speak Laotian very well).I looked back down at the skirts. They had designs on them: squares and triangles and circles of pink and green silk. They were very pretty. I decided to buy one of those skirts, and I began to bargain with her over the price. It is the custom to bargain in Asia. In Laos bargaining is done in soft voices and easy moves with the sort of quiet peacefulness.She smiled, more with her eyes than with her lips. She was pleased by the few words I was able to say in her language, although they were mostly numbers, and she saw that I understood something about the soft playfulness of bargaining. We shook our heads in disagreement over the price; then, immediately, we made another offer and then another shake of the head. She was so pleased that unexpectedly, she accepted the last offer I made. But it was too soon. The price was too low. She was being too generous and wouldn’t make enough money. I moved quickly and picked up two more skirts and paid for all three at the price set; that way I was able to pay her three times as much before she had a chance to lower the price for the larger purchase. She smiled openly then, and, for the first time in months, my spirit lifted. I almost felt happy.The feeling stayed with me while she wrapped the skirts in a newspaper and handed them to me. When I left, though, the feeling left, too. It was as though it stayed behind in marketplace.I left tears in my throat. I wante d to cry. I didn’t , of course.I have learned to defend myself against what is hard; without knowing it, I have also learned to defend myself against what is soft and what should be easy.I get up, light a candle and want to look at the skirts. They are still in the newspaper that the woman wrapped them in. I remove the paper, and raise the skirts up to look at them again before I pack them. Something falls to floor. I reach down and feel something cool in my hand. I move close to the candlelight to see what I have. There are five long silk ribbons in my hand, all different colors. The woman in the marketplace!

The Internet only became a commercial proposition in the mid-1990s. The first successful gene-splicing(基因拼接)experiment was done in 1973, but biotechnology is only now set to explode. Moreover, computers greatly accelerate the ability of scientists to understand and manipulate genes. On the contrary, biological techniques now seem the best foundations for developing tomorrow’s new generation computers.2. Good manners are necessary because we are judged by our manners. Our manners not only show what kind of education we have received and what our social position is, but they also tend to show what our nature is. A person with good manners is always an agreeable companion, because he always thinks of others and shows respect for others.3. 通过今年科学家获诺贝尔奖的情况可以看出，各个单科领域的研究都已进入了一个极为尖端的水平，很难有重大突破，交叉科学反而有广阔的发展空间，但这就需要各领域科学家共同合作才能完成。

Shell shock during World War OneA On 7 July 1916, Arthur Hubbard painfully set pen to paper in an attempt to explain to his mother why he was no longer in France. He had been taken from the battlefields and deposited in the East Suffolk and Ipswich Hospital suffering from “shell shock”. In his words, his breakdown was related to witnessing “a terrible sight that I shall never forget as long as I live”. He told his mother:B “We had strict orders not to take prisoners, no matter if wounded. My first job was when I had finished cutting some of their wire away, to empty my magazine(弹仓) on 3 Germans that came out of one of their deep dugouts(防空壕), bleeding badly, and put them out of misery. They cried for mercy, but I had my orders, they had no feeling whatever for us poor chaps... it makes my head jump to think about it."C Hubbard had gone over the top(跳出战壕) at the Battle of the Somme. While he managed to fight as far as the fourth line of trenches, by 3.30p.m practically his whole battalion had been wiped out by German artillery. He was buried, dug himself out, and during the subsequent retreat was almost killed by machine gun fire. Within this landscape of horror, he collapsed.D Arthur Hubbard was one of millions of men who suffered psychological trauma as a result of their war experiences. Symptoms ranged from uncontrollable diarrhea(腹泻) to unrelenting anxiety. Soldiers who had bayoneted(用刺刀刺) men in the face developed hysterical tics(抽搐) of their own facial muscles. Stomach cramps seized men who knifed their foes in the abdomen. Snipers(狙击手) lost their sight. Terrifying nightmares of being unable to withdraw bayonets from the enemies' bodies persisted long after the slaughter.E The dreams might occur “right in the middle of an ordinary conversation” when “the face of a Boche(德国兵) that I have bayoneted, with its horrible gurgle and grimace(怪相), comes sharply into view”, an infantry captain complained. An inability to eat or sleep after the slaughter was common. Nightmares did not always occur during the war. World War One soldiers like Rowland Luther did not suffer until after the armistice(停战) when he cracked up and found himself unable to eat, deliriously(神智混乱地) reliving his experiences of combat.F These were not exceptional cases. It was clear to everyone that large numbers of combatants could not cope with the strain of warfare. By the end of World War One, the army had dealt with 80,000 cases of shell shock. As early as 1917, it was recognized that war neuroses accounted for one-seventh of all personnel discharged for disabilities from the British Army. Once wounds were excluded, emotional disorders were responsible for one-third of all discharges. Even more worrying was the fact that a higher proportion of officers were suffering in this way. According to one survey published in 1917, while the ratio of officers to men at the front was 1:30, among patients in hospitals specializing in war neuroses, the ratio of officers to men was 1:6. Whatmedical officers quickly realized was that everyone had a breaking point: weak or strong, courageous or cowardly - war frightened everyone witless.G More difficult, however, was understanding what caused some panic-stricken men to suffer extremes of trauma. In the early years of World War One, shell shock was believed to be the result of a physical injury to the nerves. In other words, shell shock was the result of being buried alive or exposed to heavy bombardment. The term itself had been coined, in 1917, by a medical officer called Charles Myers. But Myers rapidly became unhappy with the term, recognizing that many men suffered the symptoms of shell shock without having even been in the front lines. As a consequence, medical officers increasingly began emphasizing psychological factors as providing sufficient cause for breakdown. Alfred Jones, president of the British Psychoanalytic Association, explained: War constituted an official abrogation(取消) of civilized standards in which men were not only allowed, but encouraged:H “To indulge in behavior of a kind that is throughout abhorrent to the civilized mind.... All sorts of previously forbidden and hidden impulses, cruel, sadistic, murderous and so on, are stirred to greater activity, and the old intrapsychical conflicts which, according to Freud, are the essential cause of all neurotic disorders, and which had been dealt with before by means of repression of one side of the conflict are now reinforced, and the person is compelled to deal with them afresh under totally different circumstances.”I Consequently, the return to the mental attitude of civilian life could spark off severe psychological trauma. The authors of one of the standard books on shell shock went so far as to point out that a soldier who suffered a neurosis had not lost his reason but was laboring under the weight of too much reason: his senses were 'functioning with painful efficiency.J Nevertheless, how were these men to be cured of their painful afflictions? From the start, the purpose of treatment was to restore the maximum number of men to duty as quickly as possible. During World War One, four-fifths of men who had entered hospital suffering shell shock were never able to return to military duty. However, the shift from regarding breakdown as organic to viewing it as psychological had inevitable consequences in terms of treatment. If breakdown was a paralysis of the nerves, then massage, rest, dietary regimes and electric shock treatment were invoked. If a psychological source was indicated, the talking cure, hypnosis, and rest would speed recovery. In all instances, occupational training and the inculcation(反复灌输) of masculinity were highly recommended. As the medical superintendent(负责人) at one military hospital in York put it, although the medical officer must show sympathy, the patient must be induced to face his illness in a manly way.K Sympathy was only rarely forthcoming. Sufferers had no choice but to acknowledge that their reputations as soldiers and men had been dealt a severe blow. After a major bombardment or particularly bloody attack, signs of emotional weakness could be overlooked, but in the midst ofthe fray, the attitude was much less sympathetic. When the shell shocked men returned home, things were not much better. Men arriving at Netley Hospital were greeted with silence: People were described as hanging their heads in “inexplicable shame”. No one better described the mix of shame and anger experienced by the war-damaged than the poet, Siegfried Sassoon. In October 1917, while he was at Craiglockhart, one of the most famous hospitals for curing officers with war neuroses, he wrote a poem, simply called “Survivors”:L No doubt they'll soon get well; the shock and strain / Have caused their stammering, disconnected talk. / Of course they're “longing to go out again”, - / These boys with old, scared faces, learning to walk. / They'll soon forget their haunted nights; their cowed / Subjection to the ghosts of friends who died, - / Their dreams that drip with murder; and they'll be proud / Of glorious war that shatter'd their pride... / Men who went out to battle, grim and glad; / Children, with eyes that hate you, broken and mad.____ 26. The symptoms of soldiers’ shell shock ranged from out-of-control diarrhea to endless anxiety, all related to their war experiences.____ 27. How shell shock was treated depended on what its source was viewed, physical or psychological.____ 28. At the Battle of Somme, Hubbard collapsed after experiencing the horror of the war.____ 29. Many men suffered the symptoms of shell shock even if they had never been in the front lines.____ 30. The authors of one book on shell shock pointed out that the reason that a soldier suffereda neurosis was that he had been afflicted with too much reason.____ 31. Siegfried Sassoon wrote a poem best describing the mixed feelings of shame and anger experienced by the war-beaten soldiers.____ 32. To some soldiers, the nightmares might occur just in the middle of an ordinary conversation long after the ending of the war.____ 33. The medical officer must show sympathy in treatment of shell shock, but even so, he must encourage patients to face their illness in a masculine way.____ 34. Not only soldiers, a high proportion of officers also suffered from shell shock, which wasa worrying fact.____ 35. It was believed that shell shock resulted from the injury of the nerves in the early years of World War One.26-30 D J C G I 30-35 K E J F GLive in Albert Einstein’s worldA 6 a.m. Your satellite-enabled alarm clock goes off. Blame Albert Einstein for rousting you out of bed. Your clock sounds precisely at 6 a.m. because it’s one of those fancy digital models that is synchronized (使同步) with the government’s atomic clocks and calibrated every second throughthe Global Positioning Satellite array circling the Earth. If they could not correct for the effects of relativity, Einstein’s most famous discovery, GPS signals would accumulate so many errors that their data would be meaningless.B 6:15 a.m. You nick yourself shaving and drip toothpaste on your shirt. Blame Einstein for the mess. His creation of a formula to measure the size of molecules (分子) dissolved in liquids made it possible for scientists to create or improve thousands of consumer products, including better shaving creams and toothpastes.C 6:30 a.m. You turn on the television to check the weather and traffic. It’s raining, and the traffic cameras show that the cars are already backed up for miles on the interstate. Blame Einstein for your bad mood. His declaration of the photoelectric (光电的) effect made possible the eventual invention of television cameras and the remotes that control them.D You’ve been up for just a half-hour, and already your day is being controlled by Albert Einstein. Most likely, we think of Einstein first as the man who paved the way to development of the atomic bomb. This is not the right way to look at him. Michel Janssen, a science and technology historian at the University of Minnesota, points out that Einstein had virtually nothing to do with developing the bomb. Einstein, in fact, was refused security clearance to have any role in the Manhattan Project, said Janssen, who was trained as a physicist and edited the volumes of Einstein’s collected papers on relativity.E However, many of Einstein’s other theories, which began pouring out in a burst of incandescent creativity 100 years ago, turned physics and our understanding of the natural world on their heads, giving scientists the tools to mold almost every observable aspect of life as we live it in today. His postulation (假定) of the photon (光子) and the photoelectric effect, which was described in his first great paper of 1905 and won him the Nobel Prize in 1921, gave us scores of everyday applications.F Einstein’s identifying of photons underlay the development of many of the advanced electronic inventions of the 20th century. It was the statement of the quantity effect, without which we would not have cellular telephones or smoke detectors or burglar alarms or those doors that automatically open at the supermarket or on the elevator.G Indeed, you can argue that the entire field of computers and semiconductors owes its existence to Einstein’s paper of 1905. That’s why it’s pointless to speculate about what he might have accomplished had he been born 75 or 80 years later and therefore been able to use computers. Without his having done the work he did when he did it, we might not have computers today, or atleast not in the form we recognize.H Moreover, it’s possible that in today’s scientific world, Einstein would have trouble getting his ideas heard. Science today is an institutionalized pursuit: What are your university degrees? What university or research institute are you affiliated with? How much peer-reviewed research have you published? How much grant money can you command? While Einstein’s work at the patent office in Bern, Switzerland, gave him wide opportunity to conduct sophisticated experiments on advanced submissions, he was, in his great year of 1905, still a 26-year-old government worker. If intelligent people really gave his manuscripts a careful read, they would have recognized something profound.I Robert Schumann, who co-edited Einstein’s collected papers and served as former director of the Einstein Papers Project, is more hopeful that his voice would have broken through. The journal that published his 1905 papers was the leading physics journal of the day. Among the editors who reviewed his submissions were Nobel laureate Wilhelm Roentgen, who discovered X-rays, and Max Planck, another Nobel winner, who came as close to matching Einstein in sheer brain power as anyone else ever did. If such esteemed editors found merit in the theories of the government clerk then, it is likely that they would do so today.J Much of Einstein’s work was multidisciplinary and abstract, while physics today is focused and empirical. “The possibility of coming out of almost no where, for a number of reasons, wouldn’t work today because of the highly philosophical character of his work. The questions he asked himself deal with space and time, which are philosophical concepts,” said Schumann.K Michel Janssen said there was “som ething special about the age that Einstein was working where he was, in a way, the right man at the right time at the right place. Between 1900 and 1925, you saw this tremendous overhaul (变革) of physics, and it is hard to imagine that today we’re going to see an overhaul on that scale.”L Einstein’s research paper on the photoelectric effect was just one of those that fundamentally altered how physicists look at the world. From the other papers came an almost equally wide range of modern applications: CD and DVD players use lasers, which Einstein first theorized in 1917 in advancing his work on the photoelectric and photovoltaic effects. “We have lasers in every supermarket checkout lane,” said John Rigden an American physicist. Medical revolutions like the PET scan rest on positrons (正电子), described by science journalist Robert Matthews as “antimatter electrons,” whose existence was implied by special relativity and quantum theory. Another one is carbon dating (碳年代测定法). We can take a stab at measuring how old fossils are thanks to Einstein (E=mc2 shows that mass and energy are interconnected; by measuring thedegradation of nuclei in atoms of organic materials, the theory goes, we can measure how long they’ve been degrading).M And all those everyday consumer products owe their existence, in no small part, to manufacturing methods that wouldn’t work without Einstein’s enunciation of the atomic theory of matter. In essence, Einstein proved that atoms exist. Before Einstein’s paper of May 1905, “many reputabl e scientists didn’t believe in atoms,” Rigden said. “May 1905 put the last nail in the coffin. No longer could the reality of atoms be denied. The nucleus wasn’t even discovered until 1909, so Einstein’s prescience was off the charts.”N What’s the most important was Einstein’s restoration of the belief in the power of reason and intellect. He gave science back its confidence. Thus, he is a standard because of what he did and how he did it.___ 26. Einstein was awarded the Nobel Prize for his postulation of the photoelectric effect, which has already found wide applications in our daily life.___ 27. The invention or improvement of countless consumer products is based on Einstein’s formula for the size of molecules in liquids.___ 28. Einstein had proved the existence of atoms several years before the discovery of the nucleus.___ 29. Einstein’s formula makes it possible to use carbon dating to determine the approximate age of an ancient object, such as old fossils.___ 30. Hadn’t it been for the theory of quantity effect, we wouldn’t have got the electronic inventions like mobile phones, automatic doors and so on.___ 31. Einstein’s ideas may be difficult to get heard today in that the current scientific pursuit is too institutionalized.___ 32. TV cameras and their remote controls owe their existence to the law of the photoelectric effect.___ 33. Without Einstein’s contribution, computers today might not have been invented.___ 34. A great revolution in physics happened in the first 25 years of the 20th century, but such a revolution is unlikely to take place today.___ 35.It’s inappropriate to blame Einstein for the first atomic bomb, for he wasn’t involved in its research project.26-30 E B M L F 31-35 H C G K DTaking a leap of faith to a new careerA It's a dream most people have at some point: just walking out of their job. It could be because work has become unbearable or unbearably boring. Or maybe it's the opposite – the job is fine, the colleagues are great, the boss is appreciative. But it's a rut (老一套), and unless you leave, youknow you'll be stuck on the wage-slave treadmill (令人厌倦的工作) forever. You always wanted more.B This is what motivated Miles Timothy, 24, to leave his secure job last year without a new one lined up. "I'd been working at a small business finance company for two years after leaving college. I was considering it as my career as it was going well. But I've always been creative and I wanted to do something in that line. My job didn't entirely fulfill me, and I thought it better to leave now before mortgage, kids and other responsibilities."C So Timothy left last October to set up a website business targeting a niche market. He admits it was a tough decision but has no regrets. "I was worried about telling my family, but my mum said I should go for it, and my dad said he wishes he'd done something similar. High unemployment and the state of the economy did concern me, and there is this attitude today that if you're lucky enough to have a job you shou ld stay as so many people are looking for work” "But I don't subscribe to that view. I think it limits you, and you've got to keep track of where you want to get to. I did my research, gave plenty of notice, then took the plunge. I saved a bit to keep me ticking over and I'll have to live without partying for a while, but it's very exciting and I'm looking forward to the future.”D To stay focused, Timothy won't even take a part-time job. He wants to concentrate all his energy on his new venture. But when Nancy Burgess, 40, left her sales liaison (联络) job in a large publishing house in 2001 to become a freelance translator, she took a part-time job for a short while in a women-only sex shop to keep money coming in. Once there was enough work, she became a full-time freelance translator. "I'd grown tired of the commute and wanted to move out of London," she recalls. "My degree was in French and I had many friends who were translators, so that got me thinking this was something I could do”. "I knew I didn't want to spend the rest of my life clocking in and out, so I left and started a master's degree in translation studies.I got translation work while there, it snowballed and I'm still doing it now."E Burgess knew it was risky giving up well-paid work with a regular salary, prospects and a pension. "I was working for a brilliant company. It was a high-pressure job involving trips to New York. So it took a lot to step away. But the reality of day-to-day work wasn't as exciting as it sounds and I was thinking about the future. I knew I wanted kids and to move away from the city.I couldn't do that if I stayed” "So, though I woke in the night a few times after I'd given my notice, and wondered if it had been a big mistake(turns out it wasn't), I'm massively, eternally, grateful to myself for taking that step, and for the people who supported me. In the end, it's just you who has to make it work. If you're good at your job you will find work. Despite the recession, people still need translations and want them done well. If you do a good job, your reputation means they'll come back to you. I have no regrets." Now with a six-month-old baby, Burgess is especially grateful for the flexibility of a freelancer's life.F It seems counter-intuitive to leave secure employment during a recession. But statistics show this isn't anecdotal (轶事的). Charles Levy, a senior economist at The Work Foundation, says, "The latest data from the Office for National Statistics, comparing the three months to October with the previous three months, highlights a significant shift from employment into self-employment. While the number of employees fell 252,000, there were 166,000 more people in self-employment. Rather than wait for employers to gain confidence and recruitment, it's hoped that workers will start out on their own business. This could create the churn needed to inject dynamism into our economy."G However, it isn't all good news. "There are signs some businesses are choosing to use subcontracting and work with networks of self-employed people to avoid tougher rules," Levy cautions. "The rise of self-employment could simply reflect a change in management practices and benefit rules, rather than a wave of brave new entrepreneurs."H Levy also points out that employment growth has been held back in recent years by a lack of new companies starting and hiring. "This is a real concern. Employment and business churn is vital for a dynamic economy. If people are too afraid, or unable, to switch jobs , ultimately, the labor productivity will be held back."I Karen Gale, a 31-year-old civil servant working in digital development, is strongly considering it. "We've been going through a review common across the public sector and it may lead to redundancies(裁员)," she says. "But in the intervening time, no one knows what their job is. So there's a lot of uncertainty. It could be a full year before the review is done. When you have redundancies, the first people to jump ship are those confident of getting work elsewhere. “If I haven't fou nd something soon I'm just going to leave because I can't stand it,” she says. "I sit at my desk all day, and try not to cry. I've almost forgotten how to do a real job. I feel so deskilled. I need to get out before I become unemployable."J Gale says lo ts of public sector workers are sick of being vilified in the press. “We're demonized (被恶魔化). It's incredibly demotivating. My husband is a journalist and he's just gone freelance so finances are stretched and we're broke after our wedding. But he's told me to just resign, as I go home every night and cry. Our relationship is suffering. For the sake of my mental health and our marriage, I feel I have no choice but to leave. I'll see if I can get agency work. It might take a while, but I think eventually I'll get something better."K It might work out better than Gale fears. Leaving a job without one to go can seem like madness, but it can also be energizing. It's often the most successful people who tend to take risks. Lucy Jolin, 37, left a secure job 10 years ago to become a freelance journalist and author – her latest book is Coping with Drug Problems in the Family. To her, it's better to regret something you've done than something you haven't.L If you're thinking about taking the plunge it could go badly, but it could be brilliant. You'll never know unless you do it. And let's face it; no one's job is secure these days anyway.____ 26. In recent years, there are few new companies started, which has affected employment growth.____ 27. No one knows whether it is worthwhile to take the risk of resigning his job unless he does it.____ 28. It seems crazy to quit a job without having a new one, but it can make people feel energized.____ 29. Leaving a fixed job during an economic recession seems irrational, but the data shows many people shift from employment to self-employment.____ 30. Timothy’s parents backed him up when he left his stable job for his dream.____ 31. At a certain period of time, most people dream to change their job, whether it is unbearable or satisfying.____ 32. Although she suffered a lot shortly after quitting her job, Burgess was very grateful to herself for her resignation from a brilliant company.____ 33. Timothy left his secure job because the job didn’t fulfill him in every w ay.____ 34. The defamation from the media has an incredibly negative impact on many civil servants.____ 35. Facing layoffs, the first job-hoppers are those who believe that they can get a job somewhere else.26-30 H L K F C 31-35 A E B J I。

IV. Translate the following abstract into English.
All the following problems need to be studied, including: is RE international market pricing is fair and reasonable? Is the value of RE raw materials undervalued? Is the current RE price enough to compensate the producers’ cost and appropriate profit?
This paper aim to study the fair pricing mechanism, establish an intrinsic and fair value compensation system and estimate the shadow price to determine the compensation fairness for the intrinsic rare earth value based on the innovative international trade fair pricing mechanism theory for non-renewable resources. This paper analyzes the factors affecting trade forces fairness between international RE buyers and sellers. Some policy suggestions are put forward to encourage RE international price fluctuates within the fair price range. The core opinion of this paper is: the major deciding factors for RE international trade fair pricing mechanism are intrinsic value compensation and trade forces fairness (including fairness of Industry trade forces and national policy transactions forces) based on the fairness of the RE international trading platform system.。
