To begin with, the following definition should be helpful: science fiction is a literary sub-class which requires a change (for human beings) from conditions as we know them and follow the implications of these changes to a conclusion. Although this definition will necessarily be modified, and expanded, and probably changed, in the course of this exploration, it conveys much of the basic groundwork and provides a point of departure.The first point—that science fiction is a literary sub-class—is a very important one, but one which is often overlooked or ignored in most discussions of science fiction. Specially, science fiction is a sub-class of prose fiction, for nearlyevery piece of science fiction is either a short story or a novel. There are only a few dramas which could be called science fiction, with Karel Capek’s RUR (Rossum’s Universal Robots) being the only one that is well known; the body of poetry that might be labeled science fiction is only slightly larger. To say that science fiction is a sub-class of prose fiction is to say that it has all the basic characteristics and serves the same basic function in much the same way as prose fiction in general—that is, it shares a great deal with all other novels and short stories.Everything that can be said about prose fiction, in general, applies to science fiction. Every piece of science fiction, whether short or novel, must have a narrator, a story, a plot, a setting, characters, language, and theme. And like any prose, the themes of science fiction are concerned with interpreting man’s nature and experience in relation to the world around him. Themes in science fiction are constructed and presented in exactly the same ways that themesare dealt with in any other kind of fiction. They are the result of a particular combination of narrator, story, plot, character, setting, and language. In short, the reasons for reading and enjoying science fiction, and the ways of studying and analyzing it are basically the same they would be for any other story or novel.1. Science fiction is called a literary sub-class because it .A) has limits of its ownB) cannot be made into a dramatic presentationC) is not important enough to be a literary formD) shares characteristics with other types of prose fiction2 Which of the following does NOT usually contribute to the theme in a piece of science fiction?A) Narrator. B) Setting. C) Rhyme. D) Plot.3. An appropriate title for the passage would be .A) On the Dramatic Features of Science FictionB) Toward a Definition of Science FictionC) Science Fiction vs Prose FictionD) The Themes of Prose Fiction4. The author’s definition suggests that all science fiction deals with .A) the unfamiliar or unusual conditionsB) the same topics addressed by novels and short storiesC) Karel Cape’s well-known hypothesisD) the conflict between science and fiction5. According to the passage, which of the following conclusions is true?A) Science fiction attracts us in much the same way a story or novel does.B) It is not possible to define science fiction in a clear way.C) Many people tried in vain to explain what science fiction is.D) Very often science fiction appears in such literary forms as drama and poetry.1小题>、【正确答案】：C2小题>、【正确答案】：C3小题>、【正确答案】：B4小题>、【正确答案】：B5小题>、【正确答案】：A【参考解析】：无第3题：The American economic system is organized around a basically private enterprise, market-oriented economy in which consumers largely determine what shall be produced by spending their money in the marketplace for those goods and services that they want most. Private businessmen, striving to make profits, produce these goods and services in competition with other businessmen; and the profit motive, operating under competitive pressures, largely determines how these goods and services are produced. Thus, in the American economicsystem, it is the demand of individual consumers, coupled with the desire of businessmen to maximize profits and the desire of individuals to maximize their incomes, that together determine what shall be produced and how resources are used to produce it.An important factor of a market-oriented economy is the mechanism by which consumer demands can be expressed and responded to by producers. In the American economy, this mechanism is provided by a price system, a process in which prices rise and fall-producers, which in turn will lower the price and permit more consumers to buy the product. Thus, price is the regulating mechanism in the American economic system.The important factor in a private enterprise economy is that individuals are allowed to own productive resources (private property), and they are permitted to hire labor, gain control over natural resources, and produce goods and services for sale at a profit. In the Americaneconomy, the concept of private property embraces not only the ownership of productive resources but also certain rights, including the right to determine the price of a product or to make a free contract with another private individual.1. What can we learn from the first paragraph?A) Americans are never satisfied with their incomes.B) Americans tend to overstate their incomes.C) Americans want to have their incomes increased.D) Americans want to increase the purchasing power of their incomes.2. What is the main idea of the second paragraph?A) Mechanized production can satisfy the consumers.B) Consumers can express their demands through producers.C) Producers decide the prices of products.D) Supply and demand regulate prices.3. According to the passage, a private enterprise economy is characterized by .A) private property and rights concerned C)ownership of productive resourcesB) manpower and natural resources controlD)free contracts and prices4. The passage is mainly about .A) how American goods are producedB)how American consumers buy their goodsC) how American economic system worksD)how American businessmen make their profits5.

Go to the seaside, enjoy beautiful sunshine and softbreezes and let your mind and body both relax; hide away in a small town, amble on winding pebble tracks and melt into the romantic ambiance; or take up your backpack, go mountaineering, stretch your body and smell the fresh air…They all sound wonderful.But changing environments can pose threats to delicate skin. How can you protect yourself and stay beautiful through seven days of traveling? Here are some helpful suggestions.If you’re going to the seaside:Typical resort: SanyaTypical weather: 24-31℃with strong ultraviolet sunrays and fresh air.Warm sunshine, fresh sea breezes, and moist air make the seaside an agreeable haven from Beijing’s dust. But excessive sun exposure can easily darken your skin, and of course most Chinese girls prefer fair skin. To prepare for a pleasing and beautiful sojourn (逗留) at the seaside take note of following:1. Night time skin careEven if you’ve managed to block the sun in the daytime, give your skin a soothing rehabilitative (使复原的) treatment in the evening. Cool your glowing skin with a product like La Mer’s newly released The Concentrate (50ml/RMB 3,700).2. Shine in your bikini.Tips1. Whitening is as important as wearing sunscreen. For dry skins, moisturizing products are a must. Laneige Water Sleeping Pack (RMB 150) is a good choice.2. For sensitive skins, Nuskin Aloe Vera Gel complements sun block creams. Washing your face with lemonade stops skin from darkening and is refreshing.3. Never use body sun block creams on your face. Use special facial sun block creams. For drier skins, Chanel UV Essential SPF45 (RMB 450) is nice, but Shu Uemura UV under Base DF (RMB 350) is much fresher.If you’re going to a small town:Typical resorts: Lijiang, Yunnan; Zhouzhuang, Jiangsu; Phoenix, ZhejiangTypical weather: 11-25℃with a lot of ultraviolet radiationAs depicted in Teresa Teng’s popular song Xiaocheng Gushi (Small Town Romances), small-secluded charming Chinese towns are the scene of many romances. Pebble tracks, winding lanes and ancient low villas make romantic backdrop for lovers wandering hand-in-hand. To prepare for a romantic and sweet stay in a small town, take note of the following:1. Go easy on the make up! To match your light-hearted mood we recommend the minimum of make-up. Basic skin care to keep your face healthy and glowing is enough.2. Wear flirtatious (俏皮的) colors for special nights.Liquid foundation in heavy glass bottles and powdered blush or eye shadow is not easy to carry. So we recommend sun-blocking pressed powder, two-in-one brow pencil and eye liners,and products that can be used on both lips and cheeks.3. Make-up removal.Remember to remove sun block creams at night. Try a moisturizing and relaxing mask, and we promise you a renewed glowing complexion the next day.Recommended skin care products1. SPF15/PA+sun block face cream. Its small size makes Freeplus UV Day Protector (RMB 190, sun block and moisturizer) a good choice.2. A multi-functional cosmetic case. Bobbi Brow’ns h and-sized palettes (RMB 380), including a foundation stick, creamy concealer, corrector, and sheer finish pressed powder are convenient.3. Clear foundation. Maybelline Mousse White Stay (RMB 89) the mousse-like texture makes this foundation light, breathable, and easy to carry.4. Make up remover. Lancome’s mildGentle Clarifying and Cleaning Fluid (small set) is perfect for traveling and it does a good job of removing all make-up thoroughly.Tips1. Apart from your daily skin care routine, traveling girls may also need protective lip cream, mascara (Maybelline is a good cheap choice), and fragrance (Try Anna Sui’s fresh Secret Wish Eau de Toilette).2. For lazy girls, base creams are especially useful. Wearing just a base foundation cream is enough and saves the trouble of constantly reapplying foundation at romantic moments. Others may try creamy concealers and pressed powers. Adding blush (Watsons small tubes of blush are cheap/RMB20-30 and works well) will give a healthy glow.If you’re going mountaineering:Typical resorts: Huashan, Shanxi; Huangshan, Anhui; Shennongjia, Sichuan Typical weather: 10-20℃, a high level of ultraviolet radiation and dry air.Boys often complain that mountaineering girls with their disheveled (凌乱的) hair and no make up don’t look attractive. In response to this, we recommend you use absolutely no make up except for basic skin care. But looking beautiful without the aid of make up isn’t easy! With all your mountaineering equipment in your backpack, there isn’t m uch room for skin care products. The key is to choose the most important ones only, such as the following:1. Moisturizing products.Moisturizing and hydrating creams and masks help you become both sporty and ladylike.2. Sun block products.Even though the sunshine is usually not too strong in the mountains, you should take care not to be burned by ultraviolet radiation. Fresh breathable SPF20-30 sun block products are recommended.At the seashore, your body is more in the spotlight than your face. To become a bikini beauty, you need to take care of every inch of your skin. Exfoliate with a fine-grained scrub, which will not only let your exposed skin shine, but also acts as a deep cleanser to help prevent skin from darkening and roughening after too much sun and salt water.3. Control excess oil.Never try to control oil with foundation that will clog pores (阻塞毛孔) when combined with sun block cream. Gentle oil-control products do a better job.4. Hair care.Beautiful girls never use free hotel shampoos, they carry their own moisturizing restoring hair care products. Wash your face and hair with fresh water after swimming to get rid of salty residue (残余，滤渣), and remember to protect your hair from too much sun exposure.Recommended skin care products1. SPF30/PA++sunscreen products. HR Premium SPF40/PA++(RMB 620) protects your skin from ultraviolet rays.2. Soothing, moisturizing, and after-sun rehabilitating products. Olay Intensive Nourishing Emulsion (RMB 120) has natural hot spring microelements to give rapid relief to burned skin.3. Gentle exfoliating scrubs.4. Easy to carry oil-control products.5. Moisturizing shampoo and hair protection products.3. Facial cleaning pads.Easy to carry cleaning pads help you stay fresh and clean at all times.4. Soothing creams.Compound soothing creams can be applied onto the skin directly to reduce inflammation and help you relax.5. Lip conditioner and hand cream to prevent dryness caused by wind.Tips1. Make sure you have enough moisturizing skin care products, including a cleanser, cream, lotion and mask, even at the expense of make up products.2. Secret recipe mask: While your boyfriend is away finding wood for the fire, apply a mashed banana to your face and leave for over ten minutes. Although tiny allergic symptoms (red swollen patches) may appear right after you rinse (冲洗掉, 漂净) off the mask, your face will be dazzling after a sound sleep.1. Tips of how to stay beautiful through traveling are provided in the passage.2. Exfoliate with a fine-grained scrub can help prevent skin from darkening.3. Beautiful girls never use free hotel toothbrush.4. Travelers had better not use special facial sun block creams on body.5. Typical resorts to a small town are Lijiang, Yunnan; Zhouzhuang and Sichuan.6. If you’re going to Shanxi, you are recommended to use basic skin care.7. Five tips are offered before you’re going mountaineering.8. Typical temperature for going mountaineering is .9. The name of the popular song mentioned in the passage is .10. To prevent dryness caused by wind in mountains, you should take .1小题>【参考答案】：Y2小题>【参考答案】：Y3小题>【参考答案】：NG4小题>【参考答案】：NG5小题>【参考答案】：N6小题>【参考答案】：Y7小题>【参考答案】：N8小题>【参考答案】：10-20℃9小题>【参考答案】：Xiaocheng Gushi10小题>【参考答案】：lip conditioner and hand cream五、翻译第6题：I got to the airport, (结果却发现) I had left my ticket at home.【参考答案】：I got to the airport, only to find I had left my ticket at home.第7题：The kids lay face down on the beach, their backs (暴晒在阳光下).【参考答案】：The kids lay face down on the beach, their backs exposed to the sun.第8题：He is old enough to (应该知道不要去游泳) right after lunch.【参考答案】：He is old enough to know better than to go swimming right after lunch第9题：The new computer is sold (以比预期低得多的价格).【参考答案】：The new computer is sold at a much lower price than predicted第10题：.A Dream of the Red Chamber is said (已翻译成) dozens of languages in the last decade.【参考答案】：A Dream of the Red Chamber is said to have been translated into dozens of languages in the last decade.六、写作题第11题：Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic Computer Games on Campus.

五行包括金、木、水、火和土五种要素。
五行学说强调整体概念，描绘了事物的结构关系和运动形式。
五行学说认为宇宙万物都是基于这五种要素的运行和变化。

大学英语四级考试模拟卷八(带答案)
大学英语四级考试模拟卷八(总分：100.00，做题时间：125分钟)Listening Comprehension(总题数：0，分数：0.00)Section A(总题数：7，分数：0.00).Questions 1 and 2 are based on the news report you have just heard.1.（分数：8.00）A.The degraded farmland.B.The extreme weather in summer.C.The increased number of sequoia trees.D.The decreased rainfall in recent years.√解析：[听力原文]California continues to suffer under a historic drought. The state has received very little rainfall over the past four years. California is famous for its huge sequoia trees. They are among the largest and oldest living things on Earth. But scientists say the trees are suffering because of the lack of water.Now the National Park Service is studying how the drought has affected the sequoias and what can be done to help them survive. Researchers are using scientific equipment in the tree canopies to help measure air temperature and humidity levels. They also are studying sequoia seedlings, information from individual trees and images collected by aircraft to measure the seriousness of the danger. One possible solution would be to cut down less important tree species because other plants compete with the sequoias for water. Scientists say the sequoias will probably survive this drought, unlike many other California trees.What is the problem of California?.Questions 3 and 4 are based on the news report you have just heard.3.（分数：8.00）A.The food is wasted during transportation.B.People there eat everything they buy.C.Half of the food purchased is thrown away.√D.All of the food is wasted.解析：[听力原文]Up to half of the food the world produces is never eaten. It is instead thrown away. Experts say food is wasted in both rich and poor countries, but for different reasons.In poor countries, food is usually lost while it is still in the field or during storage and transportation. That is because food producers there are inefficient. These businesses are unable to operate effectively without wasting materials, time or energy. Once food is sold in developing countries, people usually eat everything they buy. However, people in the United States and other developed countries throw away as much as half of the food they purchase. The British researcher called this custom "a disgrace." One way to solve the problem of wasted food is to take steps to persuade people to stop buying so much food in the first place.What do we know about food in developed countries?.Questions 5 to 7 are based on the news report you have just heard.5.（分数：12.00）A.Rescue dogs are humans' good friends.B.Rescue dogs help people during disasters.√C.People should be kind to their dogs.D.People always get help from their dogs.解析：[听力原文]When devastating earthquakes hit Haiti, Japan and Nepal, rescue dogs were among the first to arrive. American search-and-rescue teams and their specially trained dogs also helped during the US Hurricanes Katrina and Sandy.Ron Sanders and his 6-year-old Labrador, Pryse, were part of a US team to help find survivors in Nepal. Sanders, a retired firefighter, says Pryse and the other special canines are essential to the team. The dogs obviously have a wonderful sense of smell. So they can quickly determine where the scent is coming from and hone in on that location that we need to dig down. The dogs can also navigate quickly through collapsed buildings and squeeze through tight spots to find victims. For the dogs, the job is a fun and playful adventure. They want to go find that person, to play with that person. But becoming a rescue dog is a serious business. To become certified, the dogs train long and hard for six to twelve months. What helps them get there is lots of practice.What is the news report mainly about?Section B(总题数：8，分数：0.00).Questions 8 to 11 are based on the conversation you have just heard.1.（分数：16.00）A.She is not interested in her specialty.B.She doesn't know how to teach her students.√C.She has limited knowledge of history.D.She doesn't know the approach to learning.解析：[听力原文]W: Teaching is a whole new ball of wax for me. I'm not sure how I should approach my subject.M: I know how you're feeling. I felt the same way when I first started teaching. You are teaching history, aren't you?W: Yes. I want my students to learn the subject, but I would also like them to enjoy the process. How do I do that? I know I had teachers in the past that were boring and all I did was go to sleep. I had others that made the subject live for me. Looking back now, I'm not sure how they did it.M: I think you will find that those teachers whose classes you enjoyed were those who loved the subject they were teaching.W: You're right. I remember Mr. Donner, my accounting teacher. I was sure that was going to be the most boring class of the year but it wasn't. He came to the classroom in the first day and told us, "You are here because you have to be here. I'm here because I love it!"M: That's what I mean. If the teacher really enjoys the process of teaching, the students will most likely enjoy the class and learn more.W: I really do enjoy history, so I guess I should just relax and help the students enjoy it.M: It helps to have a comfortable physical environment, but the most important thing is to have a mentally stimulating environment. It doesn't hurt to tell a joke or two to get the students in a relaxed and interested frame of mind.What is the woman's problem?.Questions 12 to 15 are based on the conversation you have just heard.5.（分数：16.00）A.It has the largest market share at present.B.Its products are easy to use and cost-effective.√C.It is superior to its competitors in technology.D.Its productivity is much more effective.解析：[听力原文]W: The market is becoming really more and more competitive.M: Exactly. So we must know how things stand with us and do something to keep our lead.W: We'd better look at the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats we have. First, it is obvious that our main competitive advantage is our range of products. Our software packages are perceived as the most user-friendly ones on the market, requiring much less training than those of our competitors and representing better value for money. So all in all, we have got an excellent product.M: I think our strength also lies in another thing, which is our staff.W: You mean...M: I mean the after-sales side.W: Yeah, our after-sales team is faster, more qualified and more efficient.M: How do you analyze our weaknesses?W: I think our problem is that we have a strong product but we haven't achieved the sort of market penetration we should have.M: That's because our marketing isn't so effective as our competitors'. We've relied too heavily on product quality, not enough on promotion.W: I agree. So from now on, we have to put more efforts into our advertising. And we actually have the opportunity to dominate the small business user market but we are clearly not taking it.M: We should take effective measures to dominate the market. Look at Collin company. It has got a more impressive dealer network and its promotion is more sophisticated than ours.W: So, we still have a tough job to do.What is one advantage of the speakers' company?Section C(总题数：10，分数：0.00).Questions 16 to 19 are based on the passage you have just heard.1.（分数：16.00）A.It is the time when children are interested in language.B.It determines children's language ability in the future.C.It is an important period for children's physical development.D.It is the critical period for children's language ability.√解析：[听力原文]The first three years of a child's life is the most intensive period of language and speech development. This is the time when the brain is developing. Language and communication skills are believed to develop best in an environment that is rich with sounds and sights. Also, the child should repeatedly hear the speech and language of other people. The National Institutes of Health says evidence suggests there are important periods of speech and language development in children. This means the brain is best able to learn a language during this period. Officials say the ability to learn a language will be more difficult if these periods pass without early contact with a language. The first sign of communication happens during the first few days of life when a baby learns that crying will bring food and attention. Research shows that most children recognize the general sounds of their native language by six months of age. At that time, a baby also usually begins to make sounds. These sounds become a kind of nonsense speech over time. A long-term American study shows the effect of early education on future learning abilities. It found that children who received higher quality care before starting school had better language skills by those ages than children who had lower quality care. Childcare included any care provided by people other than the child's mother that lasted at least ten hours a week. This included any care given by fathers or other family members.What does the speaker say about a child's first three years?.Questions 20 to 22 are based on the passage you have just heard.5.（分数：12.00）A.The rise of food prices.√B.The lack of the male labor force.C.The low productivity in agriculture.D.The migration to bigger cities.解析：[听力原文]Food prices continue to rise, threatening to push more and more people into poverty and hunger. A new report from the UN food agency says one of the best ways to boost agricultural productivity worldwide would be to remove the barriers women farmers face but their male counterparts do not. Women farmers tend to be less productive than men, but there are good reasons for that, says Susan Stone, an economist with the UN food agency. Her report finds that in many countries, women are half as likely as men to use fertilizers to increase yields. In addition, many of the world's women are raising their children at the same time they're farming, which also may help explain why their productivity is lower than men's. Susan Stone says governments would be wise to back programs which help close the gap for women farmers.But beyond financial support, she adds, in many countries, the policy environment needs to change, too. She insists that it's about time governments came on board and really looked at their laws, which discriminate against women in the area of property, labor force participation and marriage. She believes leveling the playing field has wider benefits beyond the women themselves. That's because studies show when women have financial resources, they are more likely than men to spend them on food, health and educating their children. And that means a better future for the next generation.What causes more people to be poor and hungry?.Questions 23 to 25 are based on the passage you have just heard.8.（分数：12.00）A.The equal rights of black people.B.The political equality of women.C.The better-off life of other people.√D.The political career of herself.解析：[听力原文]Shirley Chisholm is best known as the first black woman elected to the United States Congress and the first black woman to run for president of the United States. However, her life was filled with much more than being the first black woman to do important things. She believed in being a person to fight for changes. All her life, she worked to improve the lives of others. Shirley received a good education from the British school system. She enjoyed the years she lived with her grandmother who believed in education. As a young woman, Shirley decided to become a teacher because she believed she could improve the society by helping children. In 1968, she announced she would run for the United States Congress. She was elected from the newly created Twelfth District of New York City. Shirley Chisholm spoke strongly for the poor and for women. She worked for civil rights for African Americans. She often spoke about cultural and social issues. Because most of the new immigrants are people of color, she believes cultural adjustments must be made by all groups in America if we are to learn to live together as one nation. A reporter once asked Ms. Chisholm how she wanted to be remembered. She said she did not want to be remembered as the nation's first black congresswoman. She wanted to be remembered as a brave person, a person who created changes.What does Shirley Chisholm work for in her life?。

TranslationPart I Writing (30 minutes)1．For this part, you are allowed thirty minutes to write a composition on the topic Study and Part-time Job. You should write at least 120 words following the outline given below in Chinese:1. 越来越多的大学生做兼职2．有人认为大学生不应该做兼职，有人认为应该3．你的看法正确答案：Study and Part-time Jobs It’s true that more and more college students are taking part-time jobs, and the discussion is still going on about “whether college students should take part-time jobs”. Some people think study is the most important for college students and taking a part-time job will have negative effect on their studies; other people argue that taking a part-time job not only can better your college life, but also help you acquire work experience that is badly needed when you look for a full-time job after graduation. It is a waste of time to continue such a discussion. If people wanted to discuss, the topic should be “how to balance the amount of time spent on study and part-time jobs?” If I had to attend that discussion, I would be on the side of those who insist on taking a part-time job because without any work experience, there will be no chance for students to have an ideal job. The only problem is how to balance the amount of time spent on study and part-time jobs.解析：该题目属于“辩论型”作文，针对此类作文，可以根据提纲内容，阐明某种普遍现象，列举并阐述人们对此的不同观点，然后表明自己的立场。

英语四级翻译模拟练习附译文：九寨奇景据说如果地球上真有人间仙境，九寨沟(Jiuzhaigou Valley)定是其中之一。
它有梦境般的风景：蓝色的湖泊、瀑布、翠绿的森林、白雪皑皑的山脉，还有藏族和羌族人民(the Tibetan and Qiang peoples)的民间习俗。
九寨沟不仅仅有壮观的景色，还是九个藏族村寨的居住地，还有超过220种鸟类以及许多濒临灭绝的动植物物种。
它在1992年被联合国教科文组织宣布为世界文化遗产。
九寨沟一年四季的美景使它成为中国最著名的景点之一。

It has dreamlike scenery, which combines blue lakes,waterfalls, verdant forests, snow-covered mountains, and the folk customs of the Tibetan and Qiang peoples. More than just spectacular scenery, Jiuzhaigou Valley is home to nine Tibetan villages, over 220 bird species as well as a number of endangered plant and animal species.

They may feel the need to recharge their batteries with a new challenge. They may want a position with more responsibility that encourages creativity and initiative. Or they may wish to expose their children to another culture, and the opportunity to learn a second language.When applying for a job, one usually has to submit a resume or curriculum vitae (CV). The two terms generally mean the same thing: a one- or two-page document describing one's educational qualifications and professional experience. However, guidelines for preparing a r6sum6 are constantly changing. The best advice is to find out what is appropriate regarding the corporate (公司) culture, the country culture, and the culture of the person making the hiring decision. The challenge will be to embrace two or more cultures in one document. The following list is a good place to start.● "Educational requirements differ from country to country. In almost every case of 'cross- border' job hunting, just stating the title of your degree will not bean adequate description. Provide the reader with details about your studies and any related experience. " daohangtigong● Pay attention to the resume format you use-chronological or reverse-chronological order. Chronological order means listing your 'oldest' work experience first. Reverse-chronological order means listing your current or most recent experience first. Most countries have preferences about which format is most acceptable. If you find no specific guidelines. the general preference is for the reverse-chronological format. "● If you are submitting your resume in English, find out if the recipient （收件人) uses British English or American English because there are variations between the two versions. For example, university education is often referred to as 'tertiary education' in the United Kingdom, but this term is almost never used in the United States. A reader who is unfamiliar with these variations may assume that your resume contains errors.21. Companies are hiring more foreign employees becauseA) they find foreign employees are usually more talentedB) they need original ideas from employees hired overseasC) they want to expand their business beyond home bordersD) they have difficulty finding qualified personnel at home22. The author believes that an individual who applies to work overseasA) is usually creative and full of initiativeB) aims to improve his foreign language skillsC) is dissatisfied with his own life at homeD) seeks either his own or his children's development23. When it comes to resume writing, it is best toA) take cultural factors into considerationB) learn about the company's hiring processC) follow appropriate guidelines for job huntingD) know the employer's personal likes and dislikes24. When writing about qualifications, applicants are advised toA) stress their academic potential to impress the decision makerB) give the title of the university degree they have earned at homeC) provide a detailed description of their study and work experiencesD) highlight their keen interest in pursuing a 'cross-border' career25. According to the author's last piece of advice, the applicants should be aware ofA) the different educational systems in the US and the UKB) the differences between the varieties of EnglishC) the recipient's preference with regard to the formatD) the distinctive features of American and British culturesQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage:Passage twoEducating girls quite possibly yields a higher rate of return than any other investment available in the developing world. Women's education may be unusual territory for economists, but enhancing women's contribution to development is actually as much an economic as a social issue. And economics, with its emphasis on incentives (激励), provides guideposts that point to an explanation for why so many girls are deprived of an education.Parents in low-income countries fail to invest in their daughters because they do not expect them to make an economic contribution to the family: girls grow up only to marry into somebody else's family and bear children. Girls are thus seen as less valuable than boys and art kept at home to do housework while their brothers are sent to school - the prophecy （预言) becomes self- fulfilling, trapping women in a vicious circle (恶性循环) of neglect.An educated mother, on the other hand, has greater earning abilities outside the home and faces an entirely different set of choices. She is likely to have fewer but healthier children and can insist on the development of all her children, ensuring that her daughters are given a fair chance. The education of her daughters then makes it much more likely that the next generation of girls, as well as of boys, will be educated and healthy. The vicious circle is thus transformed into a virtuous circle.Few will dispute that educating women has great social benefits. But it has enormous economic advantages as well. Most obviously, there is the direct effect of education on the wages of female workers. Wages rise by 10 to 20 per cent for each additional year of schooling. Such big returns are impressive by the standard of other available investments, but they are just the beginning. Educating women also has a significant impact on health practices, including family planning.26. The author argues that educating girls in developing countries isA) troublesome C) rewardingB) labor-saving D) expensive27. By saying "... the prophecy becomes self-fulfilling ..." (Lines 45. Para. 2). the author means thatA) girls will turn out to be less valuable than boysB) girls will be capable of realizing their own dreamsC) girls will eventually find their goals in life beyond reachD) girls will be increasingly discontented with their life at home28. The author believes that a vicious circle can turn into a virtuous circle whenA) women care more about educationB) girls can gain equal access to educationC) a family has fewer but healthier childrenD) parents can afford their daughters' education29. What does the author say about women's education?A) It deserves greater attention than other social issues.B) It is now given top priority in many developing countries.C) It will yield greater returns than other known investments.D) It has aroused the interest of a growing number of economists.30. 7be passage mainly discussesA) unequal treatment of boys and girls in developing countriesB) the potential earning power of well-educated womenC) the major contributions of educated women to societyD) the economic and social benefits of educating womenPassage ThreeSpeeding off in a stolen car, the thief thinks he has got a great catch. But he is in for an unwelcome surprise. The car is fitted with a remote immobiliser (锁止器), and a radio signal from a control centre miles away will ensure that once the thief switches the engine off, he will not be able to start it again.The idea goes like this. A control box fitted to the car contains a mini-cellphone, a micro- processor and memory, and a GPS (全球定位系统) satellite positioning receiver. ff the car is stolen, a coded cellphone signal will tell the control centre to block the vehicle's engine management system and prevent the engine being restarted. daoahngtigongIn the UK, a set of technical fixes is already making life harder for car thieves. 'The pattern of vehicle crime has changed,' says Martyn Randall, a security expert. He says it would only take him a few minutes to teach a person how to steal a car, using a bare minimum of tools. But only if the car is more than 10 years old.Modern cars are far tougher to steal, as their engine management computer won't allow them to start unless they receive a unique ID code beamed out by the ignition (点火) key. In the UK, technologies like this have helped achieve a 31% drop in vehicle-related crime since 1997.But determined criminals are still managing to find other ways to steal cars, often by getting bold of the owner's keys. And key theft is responsible for 40% of the thefts of vehicles fitted with a tracking system.If the car travels 100 metres without the driver confirming their ID, the system will send a signal to an operations centre that it has been stolen. The hundred metres minimum avoids false alarms due to inaccuracies in the GPS signal.Staff at the centre will then contact the owner to confirm that the car really is missing, and keep police informed of the vehicle's movements via the car's GPS unit.31. What's the function of the remote immobilizer fitted to a car?A) To help the police make a surprise attack on the car thief.B) To allow the car to lock automatically when stolen.C) To prevent the car thief from restarting it once it stops.D) To prevent car theft by sending a radio signal to the car owner.32. By saying 'The pattern of vehicle crime has changed' (Lines 1-2. Para. 3). Martyn Randall suggests thatA) it takes a longer time for the car thief to do the stealingB) self-prepared tools are no longer enough for car theftC) the thief has to make use of computer technologyD) the thief has lost interest in stealing cars over 10 years old33. What is essential in making a modem car tougher to steal?A) A coded ignition key. C) A special cellphone signal.B) A unique ID card. D) A GPS satellite positioning receiver.34. Why does the tracking system set a 100-metre minimum before sending an alarm to the operations centre?A) To leave time for the operations centre to give an alarm.B) To keep police informed of the car's movements.C) To give the driver time to contact the operations centre.D) To allow for possible errors in the GPS system.35. What will the operations centre do first after receiving an alarm?A) Start the tracking system. C) Block the car engine.B) Contact the car owner. D) Locate the missing car.Passage FourPsychiatrists 精神病专家) who work with older parents say that maturity can be an asset in child rearing - older parents are more thoughtful, use less physical discipline and spend more time with their children. But raising kids takes money and energy. Many older parents find themselves balancing their limited financial resources, declining energy and failing health against the growing demands of an active child. Dying and leaving young children is probably the older parents' biggest, and often unspoken, fear. Having late-life children, says an economics professor. often means parents, particularly fathers, "end up retiring much later." For many, retirement becomes an unobtainable dream.Henry Metcalf. a 54-year-old journalist, knows it takes money to raise kids. But he's also worried that his energy will give out first. Sure, he can still ride bikes with his athletic fifth grader, but he's learned that young at heart doesn't mean young. Lately he's been taking afternoon naps (午睡) daohang to keep up his energy. "My body is aging," says Metcalf. "You can't get away from that."Often, older parents hear the ticking of another kind of biological clock. Therapists who work with middle-aged and older parents say fears about aging are nothing to laugh at. "They worry they'll be mistaken for grandparents, or that they'll need help getting up out of those little chairs in nursery school," says Joann Galst, a New York psychologist. But at the core of those little fears there is often a much bigger one: "that they won't be alive long enough to supportand protect their child," she says.Many late-life parents, though, say their children came at just the right time. After marrying late and undergoing years of fertilily (受孕) treatment, Marilyn Nolen and her husband. Randy, had twins. "We both wanted children," says Marilyn, who was 55 when she gave birth. The twins have given the couple what they desired for years, "a sense of family." Kids of older dads are often smarter, happier and more sociable because their fathers are more involved in their lives. 'The dads are older, more mature," says Dr. Silber, "and more ready to focus on parenting."36. Why do psychiatrists regard maturity as an asset in child rearing?A) Older parents are often better prepared financially.B) Older parents can take better care of their children.C) Older parents are usually more experienced in bringing up their children.D) Older parents can better balance their resources against children's demands.37. What does the author mean by saying "For many, retirement becomes an unobtainable dream" (Lines 7-8, Para. 1)?A) They are reluctant to retire when they reach their retirement age.B) They can't obtain the retirement benefits they have dreamed of.C) They can't get full pension unless they work some extra years.D) They have to go on working beyond their retirement age.38. The author gives the example of Henry Metcalf to show thatA) older parents should exercise more to keep up with their athletic childrenB) many people are young in spirit despite their advanced ageC) older parents tend to be concerned about their aging bodiesD) taking afternoon naps is a good way to maintain energy39. What's the biggest fear of older parents according to New York psychologist Joan Galst?A) Approaching of death. C) Being laughed at by other people.B) Slowing down of their pace of life. D) Being mistaken for grandparents.40. What do we learn about Marilyn and Randy Nolen?A) They thought they were an example of successful fertility treatment.B) Not until they reached middle age did they think of having children.C) Not until they had the twins did they feel they had formed a family.D) They believed that children born of older parents would be smarter.第四部分、词汇Part III Vocabulary (20 minutes)4l.
