Each of the passages is followedby 5 questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are 4 choices marked A,B,C,D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWERSHEET with a single line through the center.Passage OneI knew a man who was asked to be the new dean(院长)of the College of Business of a large university. When he first arrived, he studied the situation the college faced and felt that what it needed most was money.He recognized that he had a unique capacity to raise money,and he developed a real sense of vision about fund-raising as his primary function.This created a problem in the college because past deans had focused mainly on meeting day-to-day faculty needs.This new dean was never there. He was running around the country trying to raise money for research. But he was not attending to the day-to-day things as the previous dean had. The faculty,who were used to working with the person at the top,had to work through his administrative assistant.The faculty became so upset with his absence that they sent a delegationto the president of the university to demand a new dean or a fundamental change in his leadership style. The president,who knew what the dean was doing, said,”Relax.He has a good admi nistrative assistant.Give him some more time.”Within a short time, the money started pouring in and the faculty began to recognize the vision. It wasn’t long until every time they saw the dean, they would say,”Get out of here!We don’t want to see you. Go out and bring in more funds.Your administrative assistant runs this office better than anyone else.”This man admitted to me later that the mistake he made was not doingenough team building ,enough explaining, enough educating about what he was trying to accomplish.From him I learned a powerful lesson. We need toconstantly be asking ourselves,”What is needed out there, and what is my unique strength?”16. The new dean thought that the most important thing for him to do was to _Ｄ____.A.gain a sense of visionB.set up a primary goalC.win the trust of the facultyD. raise money17.The new dean was different from the past deans in that ___Ｂ_____.A.he was less responsibleB.he didn’t attend to daily thingsC.he had an adminis trative assistantD.he didn’t like to talk with others18.We can learn from the passage that the faculty __Ｂ___.A.was not well paid for their workB.didn’t understand the new dean’s ideas at firstC.had a conflict with the president of the universityD.didn’t want to work with the administrative assistant19. The faculty would ask the new dean to get out because they ____Ａ___.A.were upset by his leadership styleB.wanted to get rid of himC.were unhappy with his explanationD.wanted him to bring back more money20.What was the mistake the new dean realized he had made?ＣA.He was absent all the year around.B.He was insensitive to the faculty’s needs.C.He didn’t communicate well with the faculty.D.He didn’t work hard to accomplish his goal.Passage TwoIs new technology damaging our ability to communicate?Fingersflying ,we can blog(写博客文章),email,and enter chat rooms.But ,as we type our millions of words, something is being lost.As our virtual skills increase,I wonder if our ability to communicate using speech is on the decline.Young people send me dozens of emails from schools and universities. They often attach long lists of questions,to which they want detailed responses. Time is short, so my reply is usually that they can phone me and I’ll do my best to answer.They very rarely do,at least partly because their oral and telephone skills are less developed than their ability to type,text and email.Yet to adapt an old business saying,a meeting is worth five phone calls and a phone call is worth five emails.Direct communication can quickly lead to bonding and trust.People are more likely to reveal what they are thinking when they actually speak to another person.Most are wary of committing themselves in writing.The great tragedy, of course,is that the phone was invented before the computer.If it had been the other way around,Internet forums would now be filled with the news:”Have you heard (type,type,type)?There is this amazing new device(type,type).Now you can talk directly withpeople(type,type,type).Without all this typing.”Marketing would do the rest and college would be rushing to develop new course in telephone skills.But,as it is ,we are stuck with the supremacy of the typed word and it is getting in the way of our ability to look people in the eye and talk. We should reconsider the technology in which the speed of our fingers is more important than the quality of our voices.21.According to the author, young people today don’t ___Ａ___.A. like to communicate using speechB.like to communicate with peopleC.know how to communicate with peopleD.know how to ask questions in communication22. According to Paragraph 3, compared with meetings, e-mails are __Ｃ___.A.more efficientB. more interestingC.less efficientD.less interesting23. In Paragraph 4,”wary of ”can be replaced by “____B___”A.good atB.happy abouted toD.cautious about24. The author believes that if the phone had been invented after the computer,people would ___A________.A.be eager to learn how to use the phoneB.be glad to have both means of communicationC.still prefer typing words on the computerD.show little interest in the phone25.Which of the following can best describe the author’s attitude towards the communication using typed words today?AA.Concerned.B. Curious.C.Indifferent.D.Impatient.Passage ThreeMost Americans are very conscious of their health and try to maintain a nutritious diet and daily routines to maintain good health.Yet, for many years the tobacco and liquor industries have tried to project the image of style and fashion for those who use their products.Most have learned, however , that the dangers caused to health by tobacco and alcohol can no longer be denied or ignored.The campaigns to alert the public to the evils of these two social drugs have been intense and effective .However,most people dislike being warned that they shou ldn’t do something.It is a kind of psychological resistance.Yet, all tobacco and liquor products must now contain a warning on the package.The warning is simple,but the message is clear:smoking and drinking are hazardous to health. The wording may vary, but it is phrased in such a way as to draw the attention of the consumer to the danger.On TV all tobacco advertising is legally banned, and every ad in a magazine must display the warning.There are many public notices on trains and buses giving out the warning that smoking is linked to lung cancer and other lung and heart diseases.The warning against alcohol consumption is of a different kind.It goes out especially to women who are pregnant and anyone operating a car or electrical machinery. A pregnant woman can cause damage to her baby by drinking alcohol.Also anyone operating a machine runs the risk of an accident which could be fatal.Such warnings appear on all wine bottles and even an appatently harmless can of beer.26.Tobacco and liquor ads try to make people believe that smoking and drinking will ________C______.A.make them look fashionableB.help them keep a nutritious dietC.make them conscious of their healthD.show their healthy images to others27.In the case of smoking and drinking, most people __B______.A.ignore the campaigns against themB.are aware of the dangers they causeC.do not really believe their dangersD.participate in campaigns against them28.It can be inferred from the passage that the campaign against smoking is _____B_.A.short-livedB.long-standingC.widespreadD.well organized29.Tobacco advertising is __B_______.A.popularizedB.restrictedC.bannedD.disliked30.Warnings against drinking are usually directed at ____D_____.A.civiliansB.car driversC.young peopleD.some groups of peoplePassage FourToday,there is no such thing as a “typical”college student.People of all ages are enrolled in colleges.Though the concept of college may be the same for all students,the stress and future goals are different.The college students most people think of usually range in age from 18-21,and are most often away from home for the first time.As a result,they now have choices and no parent to tell them what to do. They are responsible for their own lives,needing to learn to manage their time and find a job,while attending school.They enter this new world with the anticipation of freedom, fun and a good job after graduation.The new faces in the college are usually 30 years old or older, and are returning to school after several years away.They are starting their college education, after raising a family and now ready to do something for themselves.Their lives are considerably different from their younger classmates.They have been on their own for a while,and are concerned about family, responsibilities, work, and the adjustment of being back in school after some years. Most important to them are the hopes of a new career or a job promotion after they graduate.Though they may come to college for different reasons, the result is the same, It is their chance to make a better life for themselves or theirfamilies.As the younger generation is looking for freedom in their lives, those who are returning to school also see freedom.The same opportunities were not available 20 years ago.So in our college and universities, there is a new sense of hope and dreams.Where once stood only the youth of our future, they are now joined by people of all ages who share the dreams of a better life.31.The passage is mainly concerned with the change of ______B__.A.college administrationB.college studentsC.college coursesD.college life32. In the past college students usually __C______.A.lived with their parentsB.found good jobs easilyC.had much time to spareD.had no burden of raising a family33.College students of the new type ____C______.A.enjoy freedom once againB.are worried about their parentsC.aim at a new job or promotionD.study harder than other students34.One thing that the younger and older college students share is____A__.A.their hope for a better lifeB.equal job opportunitiesC.their future plansD.chances to get promotion35.The author seems to approve of ___c_____.A.college students raising a familyB.college students living on their parentsC.older people going back to collegeD.the students’struggle for freedomPart Ⅲ Vocabulary and Structure (20 points)Directions:There are 40 incomplete sentences in this part.For each sentence there are 4 choices marked A,B,C,D.Choose the one that best completes the sentence.Mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with asingle line through the center.36.I suffer from stage ___B____ whenever I have to make a presentation in front of the class.

There are some 4 tasks for you to fulfill. Y ou should read the reading materials carefully and do the tasks as you are instructed.Task 1Directions:There is one passage in this task. After reading the passage, you will find 5 questions or unfinished statements numbered 26 through 30. For each question or statement there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should make the corrected choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.The better defined your hiring process is, the more easily, it will be adhered to. I suggest that you use a multi-stage interviewing process by which the candidate meets with multiple people to provide different opinions and input on the hiring-decision. Again, keep all notes taken during theinterview. These notes should be factual and should detail bservations made by the people conducting the interview as well as quotations of the candidate’s reponses to questions．There should be no inferences made about a candidate in any notes，and no notes should be taken on a resume（简历）．Pre-determine three to six questions that will help you uncover the capability of each applicant and ask those same questions to each person that is interviewed．These initial questions will serve as a departure point to base other follow-up questions on. By using the same question in different ways and you will also be able to draw close com parisons between each candidate’s responses，which will help you determine the best match for the position.Developing that interviewing process a little further, time limits should be set on responses to candidates．Today’s job market changes so rapidly that waiting more than 72 hours to inform a candidate how he or she did in an interview is an eternity（永远）. Many candidates have multiple interviews within one or two days and plan to take the first job offered that meets their salary and benefits demands. Hired or not, as a candidate, it is much easier to keep a positive frame of mind about a company that is responsive, shows an interest in your success as an individual, and provides feedback （反馈）about an interview within one or two days. Waiting to make a decision about candidates is how other companies manage to hire the “perfect fit”right out from under you!26. As for an interview, the author suggests that .A. there should be more than one interviewer in the interviewing processB. only the applicants’ responses to questions should be noted and recorded.C. interviewers should make some notes on the margins of the candidates’ resumesD. interviewers should ask whatever questions that may help decide the perfect fit27. The passage i s m ai nly about .A. how to pre-determine questions in an interviewB. how to respond to candidates after an interviewC. how to arrange the interviewing process properlyD. how to decide the best match during an interview28. By "waiting more than 72 hours to inform a candidate how he or she did in aninterview is an eternity" in Line 2 of Paragraph 3, the author means .A. it’s boring for a candidate to wait more than 72 hours to know the result of aninterviewB. it’s too long to keep a candidate waiting over 72 hours to know the result of theinterviewC. it's necessary for a candidate to wait 72 more hours because it takes time to makedecisionsD. it's outdated to inform the candidates the result of the interview after more than72 hours29. According to the passage, tine limits should be set on responses to candidatesmainly because .A. today’s job market changes very rapidlyB. candidates usually attend many interviewsC. it helps interviewers gain the initiative to hire the perfect matchD. candidates finds it boring to wait a 'long time to know the result30．"The phrase "departure point'，in Line 3 of Paragraph 2 refers to .A. the conclusion pointB. the starting pointC. the leaving pointD. the Central point’Task 2Directions: This task is the same as Task 1．The 5 questions or unfinished statements are Numbered 31 through 35.Y ou should make the corrected choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre．One hundred and thirteen million Americans have at least one bank-issued credit card.. They give their owners automatic credit in stores, restaurants, and hotels at home, across the country, and -even abroad; and they make many banking services available as well. More and more of these credit cards can be read automatically, making it possible to withdraw or deposit money in scattered-locations, whether or not the local branch bank is .open. For many of us the "cashless society" is not on the `horizon--it's already here.While computers offer these conveniences to consumers, they have many advantages for sellers too. Electronic cash registers can do much more simply ring up sales. They can keep a wide range of records, including who sold what, when, and to whom. This information allows businessmen to keep track of their list of goods by showing which items are being sold :and how fast they are moving. Decisions to reorder or return goods to suppliers can then be made. At the same time these computers record which hours ate busiest and which employees are the most efficient ,allowing. personnel and staffing assignments to be made accordingly. And they also identify preferred customer for promotional campaigns. Computers are relied on by .manufacturers for similar `reasons: Computer-analyzed marketing reports can help to decide which products to emphasize now, -which to develop for the future, and which to drop .Computers keep track of goods in stock, of raw materials on hand, and even. of the production process: itself.Numerous other commercial enterprises, from theaters to magazine publishers, from, gas and electric utilities to milk processors, bring better end more efficient services to consumers through the use of computers.31. According: to the passage, the credit card enables its owner to .A. withdraw as much money from the bank as he wishes.B. obtain more convenient services than other people do.C. enjoy greater trust from the storekeeper.D. cash money wherever he wishes to.32. From the last sentence of the first paragraph we learn that .A. in the future all the Americans will use credit cards.B. credit cards are mainly used in the United States today.C. nowadays many Americans do not pay in cash.D. it is now more convenient to use credit cards than before.33. The phrase "ring up sales" most probably means .A. make an order of goods.B. record sales on a cash register.C. call the sales manager.D. keep track of the goods in stock.34. What is this passage mainly about?A. Approaches to the commercial use of computers.B. Conveniences brought about by computers in business.C. Significance of automation in commercial enterprises.D . Advantage of credit cards in business．35. It can be inferred that .A. computers will bring disaster.B. computer industry will not develop faster.C. computers will bring about more convenience to people's 1ife;．D. computers will replace human beings in the future．Task 3Directions: Read the. following passage．After reading it; you should give brief answers to the 5 questions (No. 36 to No. 40). The answers should bewritten after the corresponding numbers on the Answer Sheet.Although. credit cards are becoming more .acceptable part of the financial scene, they are still regarded with suspicion by many as being a major part of the “live now pay later" syndrome. Along With hire; purchase, rental and leasing schemes, they provide encouragement to spend more money. Of course, it is only the foolhardy who succumb to the temptation to live, temporarily at least; beyond their means, and such people would not doubt manage to do so even without credit cards.Advertising campaigns have, however, promoted a growing realization of the advantages of these small pieces of plastic. They obviate the need to carry large. amounts of cash and are always useful in emergencies. All the credit card organizations charge interest on a monthly basis which may work out as high as 25 percent a year, yet judicious purchasing using a card can mean that you obtain up to seven weeks interest free credit. Using the card abroad where items frequently take a long time to be included on your account can extend the period even further.It is worthwhile shopping around before deciding on particular credit card. I t’s necessary to consider the amount of credit granted interest rates which may vary slightly the number and range of outlets though most cards cover major garages, hotels, restaurants and departments stores and of course what happens if your card is lost or stolen. A credit card thief may be sitting on a potential gold mine particularly if there is delay in reporting the loss of the card.However, if used wisely, a credit card can cost nothing or at least help to tide you over a period of financial difficulty.36. Many people suspect that credit cards lure people to .37. The author seems to believe that even in the absence of credit cards, some people would undoubtedly .38. In Para. 2, in addition to the advantages of no need to carry cash and being usefulin emergency, what else is said to be the advantage of credit cards?.39. What’s the main i dea of Para 3？40. The author holds a attitude towards credit cards.Task 4Directions：Read the following passage and complete the outline below it (No．41 through No. 45).Y ou should write your answers briefly on the answer sheet correspondingly.During the holiday break, I finally got around to a promise I made to my mom and dad—to remotely access their PC—to help troubleshoot problems or questions they have about their Dell laptop.A while ago, I download GoToMyPC on my, computer, which allows you to access your computer from any other computer. The other day, my mom logged into my account, which brought her to a "My Computers" page of a three-PC account. She clicked on "enable this computer," to install the GoToMyPC software. Within minutes, I saw her computer listed on the" My Computers" page; clicked on it, and her computer home page popped up in a. window on my screen.They're in Florida, I’m in New Jersery, but I could easily replace a toolbar that disappeared from their screen and desktop icons my mom wished she hadn’t cleared away.I also like that I'll be .able to do some basic maintenance on their computer from my home hundreds of miles away. And if my mom has questions, we can be looking at her computer together while on the phone.GoToMyPC costs $20 a month for one computer, or $179.40 a year. Two PCs cost $30 a month or $279.40. For each additional PC, it’s $15 a month or $135 a year. But reader and Chris Null have also recommended a free application, Microsoft Windows Remote Desktop; which is part of Windows XP Professional and Media Center.Y ou need to manually type in the IP address of the host computer. Here’s the Microsoft instructions page if you want to check out this option.Other reader suggested another free app, LogMeIn, which gets good reviews for providing remote access and file sharing between computers．If you’ve used either free remote access option, let us know how it's worked out．Technology ReviewThe first device reviewed: 41Functions of the first device:a)enables one to 42 of another PC remotely;b)allows one to access one’s computer from elsewhere;c)enables basic maintenance from a distance.Cost of the first decice to be installed in 3 PCs: 43Difference between the other two devices recommended and the first one:They’r e 44Reviews are still needed from reader about 45Part IV Translation from English into Chinese46．Some people would like to do shopping on Sundays since they expect to pick up wonderful bargains.A．有些人愿意周日逛街，因为他们觉得这样能够检到大便宜。

What will happen to a buyer if he fails to make the full payment for an item bought on installment?39. The advantage of installment buying might include all the following EXCEPT that ______.40. In some countries, the governments control the installment plan to ______.Passage 2Publicity(宣传，报道)offers several benefits. There are no costs for message time or space. An ad in prime time television may cost $ 250,000 or mare per minute, whereas a five-minute report on a network newscast would not cost anything. However, there are costs for news releases (发布), a publicity department, and other items. As with advertising, publicity reaches a mass audience. Within a short time, new products or company policies are widely known.Credibility(可信度)about messages is high, because they are reported in independent media. A newspaper review of a movie has more believability than an ad in the same paper, because the reader associates independence with objectivity. Similarly, people are more likely to pay attention to news reports than ads. Readers spend time reading the stories, but they flip through (草草翻阅)the ads. Furthermore, there may be hundreds of ads in amagazine. Feature stories (专题报道)are much fewer in number and stand out clearly.Publicity also has some significant limitations. A firm has little control over messages, their timing, placement(报道顺序), or coverage. It may issue detailed news releases and find only small portions of them reported by the media; and media have the ability to be much more critical than a company would like. A firm may want publicity during certain periods, such as when a new product is introduced or new store opened, but the media may not cover the introduction or opening until after the time it would aid the firm. Similarly, media determine the placement of a story; it may follow a report on crime or sports. Finally, the media ascertain(确定)whether to cover a story at all and the amount of coverage to be devoted to it. A company-sponsored(赞助)job program might go unreported or receive three-sentence coverage in a local newspaper.41.The author mentions all of the following advantages of publicity EXCEPT ______.42.People are more likely to believe in news repots than ads because ______.43.Which of the following in NOT a limitation of publicity?44.One of the reasons why feature stories seem more reliable than ads is that ______.45.The last sentence in the last paragraph implies that ______.Passage 3The idea behind “ the rule of law ” is that it is laws based on logical reasons and clear thinking that should govern social life. “ We live under a rule of law, not of men. ” American teachers tell their students. The students accept the idea. They believe that “no man is above the law,” and that laws applyequally to all people no matter how wealthy they are, what their personal connections are, or what their stations in life are. Their faith in the rule of law explains the belief many Americans held, and many foreigners could not understand, that President Richard Nixon should be removed from office as a result of his behavior in connection with what was called“ Watergate Scandal (水门事件)”. Nixon had broken the law and therefore should be punished, Americans believed, even if he was the President.The belief in the rule of law goes beyond the area of politics to other areas of life that are governed by formal rules and procedures. To get a job with government institutions, for example, or to get government funding for a research project, one must follow published procedures and show that one meets the published requirements. Personal connections are not supposed to matter under the rule of law.This is not to say that personal contacts, wealth, and social influence do not matter in situations where laws and rules are to be obeyed. They may. What is said above describes the ideal with which Americans agree. In reality, connections can sometimes help a person get a government job. Rich people can sometimes go unpunished for illegal behavior that poor people would be likely to be punished for. But in general the rule of law prevails, and Americans are proud that it does.46.The word “ stations” (Line 5, Para 1) is closest in meaning to ______.47.The writer mentions President Richard Nixon in the first paragraph in order to show that ____.48.It can be learned from the last paragraph that in the United States the rule of law ____.49.The pronoun “ They ” in the second line of the last paragraph refers to all of the following EXCEPT ______.50.The main idea of the last paragraph is ______.Passage 4Human cloning(克隆) technology could be used to reverse heart attacks. Scientists believe that they may be able to treat heart attack victims by cloning their healthy heart cells and injecting them into the areas of the heart that have been damaged, and other problems may be solved if human cloning and its technology are not forbidden.With cloning, infertile couples could have children. Current treatments for infertility, in terms of percentages(百分比), are not very successful. Couples go through physically and emotionally painful procedures for a small chance of having children. Many couples run out of time and money without successfully having children. Human cloning could make it possible for many more infertile couples to have children than ever before. We should be able to clone the bone marrow (骨髓) for children and adults suffering from leukemia (白血病). This is expected to be one of the first benefits to come from cloning technology.We may learn how to switch cells on and off through cloning and thus be able to cure cancer. Cloning technology can be used to test for and perhaps cure gene-related diseases. The above are just a few examples of what human cloning technology can do for mankind.This new technology promises unprecedented advancement in medicine if people will release their fears and let the benefits begin.51. Heart attacks can be treated with human cloning technology by ________.52. The word “ infertile ”(Line 1, Para. 2) most probably means “________” .53. Paragraph Two implies that in treating infertility, ________.54. The following are all examples of the benefits from the cloning technology EXCEPT _______.55. According to the writer, the main problem with the development of human cloning technology is that ________.Part III Cloze (10%)We got up early this morning and 56 a long walk after breakfast.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Y ou are required to choose the ONE that best fits into the statement. Mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.Passage1Questions45-50 are based on the following passage.There was a time when, if a lady got into a crowded bus or train, a gentleman would immediately stand up and offer her his seat. Today a gentleman will probably look out of the window or hide behind his newspaper. Either way, the lady will have to stand until someone gets off.Y ou can’t entirely blame men for these changes in manners .Te days are gone when women could be treated as the weaker sex. A whole generation of women has grown up demanding equality with men; not just equality in jobs or education, but in social attitudes. Hold a door open for some doors for themselves. Take a girl out for a meal and she’ll probably insist on paying her share of the bill.It’s no wonder, then, that men have given up some of the gestures of politeness and consideration which they used to show towards women. On the other hand, man’s politeness is perhaps slowly being replaced by more consideration for the needs and feelings of women, so that men can see women as equal human beings.46.

Why are some women likely to get angry as a man holds the door open for them?A. Because they think they are looked down upon.B. Because they are treated too politely.C. Because the man should not hold the door open.D. Because men often offend women in this manner.49. What is replacing men’s gestures of politeness?A. More graceful politeness towards women.B. More consideration for women’s needs and feelings.C. More impolite gestures of social behavior to women.D. More equal treatment to women in every respect.50. What can we learn form this passage?A. Men ought to make gestures of politeness towards women.B. Women ought to make gestures of politeness towards men.C. Women have achieved equality with men.D. Men are beginning to treat women as equal human beings.Passage 2Questions51-55 are based on the following passage.With the growth of the information Superhighway, a logical development in the job searching process is the electric resume.

Y ou are supposed to turn off your mobile phone at a funeral.D. you are supposed to use your mobile phone as much as possible.Passage4Questions61-65 are based on the following passage.If you want to stay young, sit down and have a good think. This is the research result of Professor Faulkner, who says that most of our brains are not getting enough exercise and as a result, we are ageing unnecessarily soon.Professor Faulkner wanted to find out why wealthy farmers in northern Japan appeared to be losing their ability to think and to reason at relatively early age, and how the process of ageing could be slowed down.He set about measuring brain volumes of a thousand people of different ages and occupations.Computer technology enabled him to obtain precise measurements of the volume of the front and side sections of the brain, which relate to intelligence and emotion, and determine the human character.Contraction of front and side parts---as cells die off---was observed in some subjects in their thirties, but it was still not evident in some sixty and seventy-years-olds.Faulkner concluded from his tests that there is a simple way to slow the contraction---using the head.The findings show that contraction of the brain begins sooner in people in the country than in the towns. Those least at risk, says Faulkner, are lawyers, followed by university professors and doctors. Whit-collar workers doing routine work are, however, as likely to have shrinking brains as the farm workers, bus drivers and shop assistants.Faulkner’s findings show that thinking can prevent the brain from shrinking. Blood must circulate properly in the head to supply the fresh oxygen the brain cells need “The best way to maintain good blood circulation is through using the brain,” he says. “Think hard and engage in conversation. Don’t rely on pocket calculators”.61. Professor Faulkner wanted to find out______A. how people’s brains shrinkB. the way of making people live longerC. the size of certain people’s brainsD. why certain people aged sooner than others62. Faulkner’s research finding are based on _____A. a survey of farmers in northern JapanB. tests performed on a thousand old peopleC. the study of brain volumes of different peopleD. the latest development of computer technology63. The underlined word “subjects” in paragraph 5 means _______A. branches of knowledge studied in a schoolB. something to be consideredC. persons experimented onD. citizens in a country64. The professor’s findings show that ______A. our brains shrink as we grow oldB. the front section of the brain does not shrinkC. Seventy-year-olds have better brains than sixty-year-oldsD. thinking can slow down the process of ageing65. According to the passage, which group of people seem to age slower than the others?A. FarmersB. LawyersC. ClerksD. Shop assistantsV. Cloze (15 point)Directions: There are 15 blanks in the follow passage.

2008广东省成人学位英语真题
Part I Reading ComprehensionDirections: There are three passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You shoulddecide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center..Passage 1.Question 1to 5 are based on the following passage.Looking back on my childhood. I am convinced that naturalists are born and not made. Although we were brought up in the same way, my brothers and sisters soon abandoned their pressed(紧抱的) flowers and insects. Unlike them ,I hand no ear for music and languages, I was not an early reader and I could not do mental arithmetic.Before World war I we spent our summer holidays in Hungary. I have only the dim memory of the house we lived in, of my room and my toys. (76) Nor do I recall clearly the large family of grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins who gathered next door . but I do have a crystal-clear memory of dogs, the farm animals , the local birds and above all ,the insects.I am a naturalist, not a scientist. I have a strong love of the natural world, and my enthusiasm has led me into varied investigations. I love discussing my favorite topics and enjoy burning the midnight. I love discussing my favorite topics and enjoy burning the midnight oil, reading about other people’s observations and discoveries .then something happens that brings these observations together in my conscious mind. Suddenly you fancy you see the answer to the riddle(谜) ，because it all seems to fit together. This has resulted in my publishing 300 papers and books ,which some might honor with the title of scientific research.But curiosity ,a keen eye, a good memory and enjoyment of the animal and plant world do not make a scientist; one of the outstanding and essential qualities required is self-discipline, a quality I lack. A scientist can be made .A naturalist is born . If you can combine the two, you get the best of born worlds.1. According to the author , a born naturalist should first of all be _____A. full of enthusiasmB. self-disciplinedC. full of ambitionD. knowledgeable2. The first paragraph tells us that the author _____A. lost his hearing when he was a childB. didn’t like his brothers and sistersC. was born to a naturalist’s familyD. was interested in flowers an insects in his childhood3. The author says that he is a naturalist rather than a scientist probably because he thinks he _____A. just reads about other people’s observations and discoveriesB. comes up with solutions in most natural waysC. has a great deal of trouble doing mental arithmeticD. lacks some of the qualities required of scientist4.The author can’t remember his relatives clearly because_____.A. he was fully occupied with observing natureB. he didn’t live very long with themC. the family was extremely largeD. he was too young when he lived with them5. Which of the following statement is true?A. The author believes that a born naturalist cannot be a scientist.B. The author’s brothers and sisters were good at music and languages.C. The author read a lot of books about the natural world and the oil industry.D. The author spent a lot of time working on riddles..Passage 2.Question 6 to 10 are based on the following passage.If you have a chance to go to Finland, you will probably be surprised to find how “foolish”the Finnish people are.Take the taxi drivers for example. Taxis in Finland are mostly high-class Benz with a fare of two US dollars a kilometer. You can go anywhere in one, tell the driver to drop you at any place, say that you have some business to attend to, and then walk off without paying your fare. The driver would not show the least sign of anxiety.The dining rooms in all big hotels not only serve their guests, but also serve outside diners. Hotel guests have their meals free, so they naturally go to the free dining rooms to have their meals. The most they would do to show their good faith is to wave their registration card to the waiter. With such a loose check, you can easily use any old registration card to take a couple of friends to dine free of charge.The Finnish workers are paid by the hour. (77) They are very much on their own as soon as they have agreed with the boss on the rate. From then on they just say how many hours they have worked and they will be paid accordingly.With so many loopholes(漏洞) in everyday life, surely Finland must be a heaven to those who love to take “petty advantages”. But the strange thing is, all the taxi passengers would always come back to pay their fare after they have attended to their business; not a single outsider has ever been found in the free hotel dining rooms. And workers always give an honest account of the exact hours they put in. As the Finns always act on good faith in everything they do, living in such a society has turned everyone into a real “gentleman”.(78) In a society of such high moral practice, what need is there for people to be on guard against others?6.While taking a taxi in Finland, _____A. a passenger can go anywhere without having to pay the driverB. a passenger pays two US dollars for a taxi rideC. a passenger can never be turned down by the taxi driver wherever he wants to goD. a passenger needs to provide good faith demonstration before they leave without paying7. We know from the passage that big hotels in Finland_____A. provide meal for only those who live in the hotelsB. provide meals for any dinersC. provide free wine and charge for foodD. are mostly poorly managed8. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. The workers in Finland are paid by the hour.B. The bosses in Finland are too busy to check the working hours of their employees.C. The workers are always honest with their working hours.D. The workers and their bosses will make an agreement in advance about the pay.9. The word “those”in the last paragraph probably refers to _____A. people who often take taxisB. people who often have meals in big hotelsC. people who are dishonestD. people who are worthy of trust10. It can be concluded that _____A. Finnish people are not smart enough in daily lifeB. Finland has been a good place for cheatsC. the Finnish society is of very high moral levelD. all the Finns are rich.Passage 3.Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:There are many factors which may have an influence on adults and children being able to lead a healthy life.Nowadays, people are very busy. Often, both parents work outside the home. Children are expected to take on more responsibility at home to help their parents. They also have sporting and leisure activities as well as school expectations.The busyness also adds another factor: the need to use cars to get from one place to another quickly.Today, society places a lot of emphasis on technology. Computers, DVDs. CDs, television, PlayStations and Xboxes have become major leisure activities, rather than traditional more active pursuits. This has led to a more sedentary lifestyle.The media provide entertainment and information. (79)Unfortunately, they also promote fast food which fits easily into busy lifestyles. It is much more convenient at times to buy a quick takeaway rather than prepare a meal. The media constantly bombard(轰炸) their audience with ‘perfect’body images, the need to buy the most fashionable clothes, the most up-to-date computer games, the best places to visit and the best things to do.Environments vary. We may be exposed to pollution , such as cigarette smoke. This can be harmful to people who suffer from breathing difficulties. (80)Environments where passive smoking is unavoidable make it difficult to lead a healthy life.It is important factor influencing healthy lifestyles is motivation. Or the desire to be healthy. Any person who wants to be healthy will find a way to be healthy —if he/she is motivated enough11. The passage is mainly about _____.A. benefits of a healthy life styleB. demands of daily lifeC. factors affecting a healthy lifestyleD. a positive approach to healthy living12. The word “sedentary”in Paragraph 4 probable means _____.A. having a lot of things to doB. involving little exercise or physical activityC. being isolated from the outside worldD. experiencing a lot of stress13. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage as a factor leading to the popularity of fast food?A. Cheap price.B. The media.C. Busy lifestyle.D. Convenience14. Which is NOT listed as a factor influencing the ability to have a healthy lifestyle?A.Pollution.B. Economic factors.C. Dependence upon cars.D. Influence of family or friends.15.
