These courses are typically offered by universities and educational institutions, and they cover a wide range of subjects, from technical skills to humanities.While MOOCs offer numerous benefits, such as flexibility and access to high-quality education, they also come with challenges. One of the main concerns is the issue of completion rates. Many students enroll in MOOCs with high expectations but find themselves struggling to complete the courses due to a lack of structure, time management issues, and limited interaction with instructors and peers.Dr. Emily Johnson, an educational psychologist, conducted a study to investigate the factors that contribute to successful completion of MOOCs. She found that students who set clear goals, actively participate in discussions, and seek help when needed are more likely to complete their courses. Additionally, having a supportive learning environment and a strong motivation to learn also play crucial roles.Questions:1.What is the main topic of the passage?A) The benefits of traditional educationB) The challenges of online learningC) The increasing popularity of MOOCsD) The impact of social media on educationE) The role of motivation in learning2.According to the passage, what is one of the main concerns about MOOCs?A) The quality of the education providedB) The lack of interaction with instructorsC) The cost of enrollmentD) The difficulty of the coursesE) The lack of structure and time management3.Dr. Emily Johnson’s study aimed to investigate what?A) The benefits of MOOCs for studentsB) The reasons behind high dropout rates in MOOCsC) The factors contributing to successful completion of MOOCsD) The impact of MOOCs on traditional education systemsE) The role of technology in modern education4.Which of the following factors did Dr. J ohnson’s study identify as contributing to successful completion of MOOCs?A) Setting clear goals and actively participating in discussionsB) Having a strong motivation to learn and a supportive learning environmentC) Enrolling in courses offered by prestigious universitiesD) Attending regular in-person classes and workshopsE) Using online forums to connect with other students5.What is the author’s attitude towards MOOCs?A) SkepticalB) CriticalC) NeutralD) SupportiveE) AmbiguousAnswer Key:1.C2.E3.C4.A, B5.D三、概况段落大意和补全句子（共10分）第一题Reading Material:The rapid development of technology has greatly impacted various aspects of our lives. In the field of education, online learning has become increasingly popular. This essay discusses the advantages and disadvantages of online learning and examines its impact on students and teachers.Passage:Online learning has revolutionized the way we acquire knowledge.

2024年1月自考英语二考试真题及答案

2024年1月自考英语二考试真题及答案全文共6篇示例，供读者参考篇1Certainly! Here is a 2,000 word essay in the voice of an elementary school student, written in English, about the January 2024 Self-Study English Test II Exam Questions and Answers:The January 2024 Self-Study English Test II Exam!Hey guys! It's me again, your favorite elementary school kid here to tell you all about the big English test I just took. It was the January 2024 Self-Study English Test II exam. Wow, that's a really long name! But I'm getting ahead of myself.Let me start from the beginning. A few months ago, my mom and dad told me I needed to take this huge English test. They said it was really important for getting into a good university later on. I wasn't too excited at first because, well, tests can be kind of boring. But then they promised me ice cream if I did well, so I agreed to study hard!My parents got me some really thick books to prepare. They had chapters on grammar, vocabulary, reading comprehension,writing, and even listening practice. The grammar part was probably the hardest for me. Who knew English had so many crazy rules about verbs, nouns, adjectives, and all that? My tutor tried her best to make it fun though. We played games like quiz shows and acted out little skits using the grammar I was learning.The vocabulary was a little easier because I like learning new words. My favorite was "serendipity" which means a happy unexpected discovery. See, I'm using my new vocabulary already! The reading comprehension sections helped me practice too. I had to read all kinds of stories and articles, then answer questions about the main ideas, characters, plot, and other details. Writing was interesting as I got to be creative and share my thoughts through essays and stories.Finally, there was the listening portion. Those tracks were tough because they spoke so fast! I had to listen carefully to conversations between characters, lectures, and news reports. Then I had to identify the mainpoints, speakers' attitudes, and other things like that. It took a lot of practice with my headphones on.Anyway, after weeks of studying hard, it was finally time for the big test day. I was a little nervous, but tried my best to stay calm like my parents said. The exam had sections just like thepractice materials - grammar, vocabulary, reading, writing, and listening. I worked relentlessly, putting all my new skills to use.When I finally bubbled in that last answer, I felt such a sense of relief! The test was over and I could just sit back and wait for the results. A few weeks later, the scores arrived and...I passed! I got a really high mark too. My parents were overjoyed and took me out for the biggest ice cream sundae ever to celebrate. All that hard work had paid off.Looking back, I realize how much I've grown in English. Before studying, a lot of it seemed like mumbo-jumbo. But now words, sentences, even long passages make sense to me. It's like I unlocked a secret code to understanding this whole other language. Who knows, maybe I'll be a writer, translator, or English teacher someday!For anyone else facing this exam in the future, here's my advice: Study hard, don't get discouraged, and always keep practicing. Those practice books and tutoring sessions helped me so much. And when test day comes, just relax, focus, and let all that preparation show through. Oh, and one more thing - don't forget to enjoy an epic ice cream celebration when you pass!That's all I've got to say about my big English exam adventure. It was challenging but amazing at the same time. I'm really proud of myself for sticking with it. And who knows what other cool linguistics mysteries I'll uncover next? The world of English continues to unfold before me! Okay, I'll stop rambling now. Thanks for listening, guys! Let me know if you need any other elementary school kid wisdom.篇2My English Test for Grown-UpsHi friends! My name is Timmy and I'm 8 years old. I love learning new things, especially English! My mom and dad are taking a big English test for grown-ups called the "Self-Taught English Test 2." They've been studying really hard, so I decided to make up my own test for them to practice. I hope you enjoy my questions and answers!Part 1: ReadingOne day, my friend Jake and I were playing outside. The sunny sky turned grey and it started raining cats and dogs! We ran inside to stay dry.Question 1: What's another way to say "it rained really hard?"A) It rained kittens and puppiesB) It rained cats and dogsC) It rained bucketsD) It rained elephants and hip篇3The Big English Test Adventure!Hi there! My name is Lily and I'm going to tell you all about the crazy adventure I had taking the big English test this year. It was super important because it helps decide if I get to go to the middle school I really want to go to next year. I was really nervous about it, but I studied really hard and I think I did a pretty good job!The test had four parts - listening, reading, writing, and translating. I'm going to go through each one and let you know how it went. Get ready for an exciting tale!ListeningFor the listening part, we had to listen to recordings and answer multiple choice questions about what we heard. I thought this would be the hardest part for me, but it actually wasn't too bad!The first recording was about a boy named Jack and his pet dog Rufus. Jack was telling his mom all about the fun things he and Rufus liked to do together, like go for walks in the park and play fetch. The questions asked things like what Rufus' name was and where they went for walks. Easy peasy!Then there was a longer recording that was sort of like a short story. It was about two friends, Emma and Sofia, who really wanted to go to the new water park that opened up in their town. But their parents said they had to earn the money for the tickets themselves. So they decided to set up a lemonade stand to make money. There were lots of funny details about the crazy stuff that happened while they were running their lemonade stand. Like a bunch of bees came because the lemonade was so sweet! And a big dog knocked over their whole stand at one point. The questions about that one were a little trickier, but I feel like I got most of them right.ReadingFor the reading part, we had two passages to read and then had to answer comprehension questions about them. One was pretty straightforward, just a simple story about a boy who really wanted a puppy for his birthday. The other one was a bit harder - it was more like an article about space exploration.The puppy story questions were simple stuff like "What did Tommy want for his birthday?" and "Why did he think his parents wouldn't get him a puppy at first?" For the space one, the questions were things like "According to the passage, what are some of the challenges of sending astronauts to Mars?" and "Which piece of new technology is helping make long-distance space travel more possible?" I'm not super into science and space, so that one was pretty difficult for me. But I tried my best!WritingThen came the writing section, which is usually my favorite part. For the first writing task, we had to read a short story about a girl who went on a camping trip with her family. We were supposed to write a new ending to the story in about 120 words.In the original story, they were all having a great time camping and hiking and looking at nature. Until the last lines which said "Suddenly, dark clouds filled the sky and they heard aloud clap of thunder. What would happen next?" So I had to continue from there and wrap it up.I wrote about how they all quickly ran back to their tent to take shelter from the storm. Then I described a huge thunderstorm with flashes of lightning and heavy rain pouring down. Their tent started leaking and they all got soaked! But then the sun came out again after the storm passed, and they built a campfire to dry off. They ended up having a great time after all, roasting marshmallows and telling stories. I thought my ending was pretty good!The second writing task was an opinion essay prompt. We had to write approximately 200 words in response to the question "Do you think kids should be allowed to have mobile phones? Why or why not?"Those prompts are always so tricky because you're supposed to discuss both sides. So I started by saying that I do think kids should be allowed phones for safety reasons, like being able to call their parents if needed. But then I discussed some of the downsides too, like kids maybe getting distracted and playing games instead of paying attention in class.Overall, I argued for allowing phones but with some rules, like only being allowed to use them at certain times. And maybeparents having ways to monitor and limit the apps/games. I tried to acknowledge the different perspectives and find a balanced stance. Writing has always been one of my strengths, so I felt pretty confident about that section.TranslationThe translation part was pretty wild! For some reason, instead of the typical format of translating sentences from English to our native language or vice versa, this test had us translating between English and some made-up fantasy language. It was so weird!The made-up language used the Latin alphabet but with a bunch of crazy made-up words that looked sort ofEnglish-inspired but not really. Like "glomped" and "turven" and "spront." Super random! I've never seen anything like it.We had to translate short passages between this weird fantasy language and English in both directions. Definitely the strangest part of the test for me. I just kind of had to use context clues from the rest of the passage to try to figure out what the made-up words might mean and do my best.Some of the translator instructions said things like "It is very important that spronts dopple the turven daily to remain jordy."Using clues from the full paragraph around it, I guessed that "spronts" might mean some kind of animal/creature, "turven" might be their food/grass, "dopple" could be "eat", and "jordy" could mean "healthy." So my translation was "It is very important that [creatures] eat their [grass/food] daily to remain [healthy]."I have no idea if I got those right or not! That entire translation section was pretty much a crazy guessing game. But it was kind of fun in a weird way too? I'd never experienced anything like that on a test before!The End?Phew, that's finally the end of my test day saga! Looking back, although parts of it were pretty strange and challenging, I think I held my own overall. Some sections like writing went well, while others like the fantasy translation were just flat-out bizarre.I'm really hoping I did well enough to get into that middle school program I want. But no matter what, it was definitely an unforgettable, one-of-a-kind exam experience! An adventure for the books.Thanks for letting me share my wild test day story. I'll leave you with one of the made-up words to ponder - what on earthcould "glomped" possibly mean?? Who knows! But I sure had fun trying to figure it out.篇4My English Exam Adventure!Hi friends! I'm so excited to tell you about the big English exam I took last month. It was the January 2024 self-taught English Test 2 and let me tell you, it was quite an adventure!The exam had four parts - listening, reading, writing, and speaking. I was a little nervous at first, but I studied really hard with my English tutor. She helped me practice all the different sections.For the listening part, we had to listen to recordings and answer multiple choice questions. There were conversations between people, news reports, and even a story! One of the conversations was between two friends deciding what movie to watch. The reading section had longer passages to read and questions to answer too.My favorite was the writing section! We had to write a short essay responding to a prompt. The prompt asked us to describe our favorite family tradition and why it is meaningful. I wrote allabout how my family always goes camping in the summer and we roast marshmallows over the campfire. I love falling asleep in the tent listening to the crickets!Then there was the speaking part. We had to answer questions and describe pictures out loud while being recorded. One of the pictures showed a busy city scene with tall buildings and people walking down the street. I tried to use lots of descriptive words like "towering" and "bustling."After the exam, my tutor went over the answers with me. I did pretty well on the listening and reading, but I made a few silly mistakes on the writing by forgetting some punctuation. She said my speaking was good except I accidentally mixed up "borrow" and "lend" when answering one of the questions. Oops!Overall though, I felt really proud for challenging myself with this big exam. My tutor said I worked hard and showed great improvement in all my English skills. She thinks I'll do even better next time!Now I can't wait for my results to arrive in the mail. Hopefully I did well enough to get that new bike my parents promised if I pass! Keeping my fingers crossed.Well, that's all about my big English exam day. It was kind of stressful but also kind of fun! I'm just glad it's over and I can relax for a little while. Thanks for listening to my story. Let me know if you've ever taken a big test like this too!Your friend,[Your Name]Listening Section:A: What movie do you want to see?B: I'm not sure. Maybe an action film?A: Okay, how about the new superhero one that just came out?B: Works for me! I hear it has great special effects.News report excerpt: Officials are warning residents to avoid driving today if possible due to the major snowstorm hitting the area. Upwards of 12 inches of snow is expected throughout the day, making roads extremely hazardous...Story excerpt: ...Goldilocks continued wandering through the forest. Up ahead, she noticed a strange little cottage. Being a curious girl, she went up to have a look inside...Reading Section Passage:Every four years, cities around the world compete to host the Olympic Games - one of the biggest sporting events on the planet. Thousands of athletes gather from all different nations to compete in a variety of sports from gymnastics to swimming to track and field events.Hosting the Olympics is considered a great honor, but it also comes with immense preparation and cost. The host city must construct massive sporting venues and accommodations to house all of the athletes and spectators traveling in from around the globe. They must also implement intense security measures to ensure the safety of all in attendance...Writing Prompt:Describe a meaningful family tradition you celebrate and explain why it is important to you.Speaking Questions:What did you do last weekend?Describe the picture showing people in a city.Which activities do you prefer - borrowing or lending books from the library?篇5My English Self-Study Exam Adventure!Hi everyone! My name is Emma and I'm 10 years old. I just took the big English Level 2 self-study exam in January 2024 and I wanted to tell you all about it! It was a really exciting experience.First, I had to sign up and pay the fees a few months before the exam. My parents helped me with that part. Then I spent a lot of time studying English vocabulary, grammar rules, reading comprehension strategies, and writing skills. It was hard work but I tried my best!Finally, exam day arrived on January 12th, 2024. I was so nervous that morning! My stomach felt like it had a million butterflies fluttering around inside. But I remembered to take some deep breaths like my teacher showed us. I ate a good breakfast too to keep my energy up.The exam was held at my local high school. There were lots of students there, some young like me and some adults too. We all had to show our identification and sign in before being allowed into the testing room. The room was really big with rowsand rows of individual desks. I found my assigned seat and tried to relax.Once everyone was seated, the exam proctors gave us our test booklets and scrap paper. They read the rules out loud – no cheating, no talking, no leaving the room except for bathroom breaks. I was ready!The first section was listening comprehension. We had to listen to audio recordings of conversations and answer multiple choice questions about what we heard. Some of the accents were really hard to understand at first! But I focused really carefully and used the strategies I had practiced.Next up was reading comprehension. We read some passages and answered questions proving we understood the main ideas, details, vocabulary words, and the author's purpose. There were a few really long passages that made my eyes get a little tired halfway through. I made sure to take a break and blink my eyes when that happened.The hardest part for me was the written composition section. We had to write a short essay responding to a prompt about our favorite books. I planned out my thesis and examples first like my teacher taught me. Then I wrote and rewrote my draft, checking over my spelling, grammar, and organization. Phew!After that was the grammar section which was actually kind of fun for me. I love learning about parts of speech, verb tenses, and sentence structures. There were some tricky questions but I tried using process of elimination when I got stuck.Finally, the last part was the oral interview section. One at a time, we went into a private room with a examiner and had a conversation in English. The examiner asked me questions about my hobbies, family life, future goals and other topics. I did my best to respond clearly and naturally. Practicing conversational English with my parents really paid off!When everything was over, I felt so proud of myself for working so hard and making it through the whole four-hour exam. A couple months later, I got my results in the mail – I passed! I have an official certificate now proving my English skills. Yay!Even though some parts of the exam were super challenging, it was an awesome experience overall. I learned a lot and feel more confident than ever in my English abilities now. I'm so glad I took this opportunity to test myself.If you're thinking about taking the self-taught English exam, I totally recommend it! Just make sure you study really hard beforehand. Learn all the grammar concepts, practice yourreading comprehension, do lots of writing exercises, and work on your listening and speaking skills too. Don't be nervous on exam day because you'll be well-prepared.Let me know if you have any other questions! I'm happy to share more tips about my exam experience. Study hard and you can pass the English Level 2 exam too! Thanks for reading my story.篇6My January Self-Study English TestHi! My name is Timmy and I'm 10 years old. I just took a really big test called the January 2024 Self-Study English Test 2. It was super hard but I tried my best. I want to tell you all about the questions and my answers!The first part was listening comprehension. They played some audio recordings and asked questions about what we heard. One was about a family going on vacation. The dad was trying to pack but kept forgetting things. His daughter helped him remember stuff like his toothbrush and phone charger. I had to answer questions like "What did the daughter remind her dad to pack?"Another listening was about two friends deciding what movie to see. One wanted an action movie but the other wanted a comedy. They went back and forth for a while but finally picked a funny superhero movie they both liked. A question was "What kind of movie did the friends decide to see?"Next was the reading section. We had to read some passages and answer comprehension questions on them. One story was about a brave firefighter who rescued a little girl from a burning building. He carried her out on his shoulders. A question was "How did the firefighter get the girl out of the fire?"Another reading was about the history of basketball. It explained who invented it and how the rules were created. There was a question like "Based on the passage, how did the sport of basketball originate?"The writing section was hard! We had to write a letter to our teacher about our favorite school subject and why we enjoy it. I wrote about how much I love science class because we get to do cool experiments. I described making a baking soda and vinegar volcano. Hopefully I explained it clearly enough!Grammar was probably the easiest part for me. They tested things like subject-verb agreement, pronoun usage, and verb tenses. One question was "John and I _____ going to the parklater." You had to pick the right verb to agree with the compound subject.Vocabulary asked us to fill in blanks with words based on the sentence context. Like "My puppy is very _____ and loves fetching sticks." You'd put a word meaning energetic or active. Some of those stumped me!All in all, it was a tough test over reading, writing, listening, grammar, and vocabulary. I felt okay about my answers for most of it. But those listening passages went by so fast, I may have missed some details. I'll find out my score soon though!Even though tests can be stressful, I know it's important to always try your best. That way you can show what you've learned so far. And any mistakes are okay, because that's how we learn for next time. I'm just happy I worked really hard and didn't give up!Whew, that's everything I can remember about my big English test day. Getting through all those sections took concentration, but also a little brain break times. Tests are no fun, but learning is! I'll keep practicing my English skills for the next exam.

2020年1月全国自学考试试题及答案解析英语阅读(二)试卷及答案解析

全国2018年1月高等教育自学考试英语阅读（二）试题课程代码：00596I. Reading Comprehension. (50 points, 2 points for each)Directions: In this part of the test, there are five passages. Following each passage, there are five questions with four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer and then write the corresponding letter on your Answer Sheet.Two decades ago, the channels that separate the Adriatic Islands were brimming with giant blue-fin tuna, a species so plentiful that tourists used to climb ladders by the sea to watch the schools swim by.Today, these majestic predators are rarely, if ever, caught. The catches have dropped by 80 percent over the past few years, even for high-tech trawlers that now comb remote corners of the sea in search of the hard-to-find fish.“This is past the alarm stage,”said Simon Cripps, director of the global marine program at the World Wildlife Fund. “We are seeing a complete collapse of the tuna population. It could disappear and never come back.”The group is urging the European Union to impose an immediate fishing moratorium until the international body that regulates tuna catches meets in Dubrovnik, Croatia, in November.Many edible fish stocks in the Mediterranean and its extension, the Adriatic, have sharply declined in the past decade because of pollution and intensive fishing, including crayfish and John Dory, according to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization. In Croatia, much of the fish eaten at seaside resorts is imported from as far away as the United States.But it is the blue-fin tuna that is in crisis, thanks to a new and lucrative European network of fishing and fish farming companies that provide the prized fish to sushi and sashimi markets in Japan. With tuna prices going as high as $15 a pound in Tokyo, European trawlers fish for tuna aggressively and illegally, far exceeding international quotas meant to protect the species, scientists said. Compounding the problem is the recent development of tuna fattening farms in Croatia, Spain, Turkey and other Mediterranean countries.1Now, even small juvenile tuna, captured in the few corners of the Mediterranean where the species still breeds or even from the Atlantic, can be brought to the vast underwater cages that line the Croatian coast, where they are fed for months or years until they are ready for market. And so, though few tuna are in Croatia’s seas and none are in its restaurants, tuna is one of this country’s most lucrative food exports. One hundred percent of Croatia’s tuna is farm-fattened, ending up as toro—precious, fatty raw tuna.Questions 1-5 are based on Passage One.1. In the second paragraph, “these majestic predators”refer to ______.A. big fishB. blue-fin tunaC. crayfishD. fish that eat other fishes2. Blue-fin tuna is in crisis because ______.A. fishing companies catch the fish to-excess for moneyB. it takes a long time for small tuna to grow upC. there is no law to protect this speciesD. the natural environment worsens3. Which of the following statements is true?A. Tuna is a typical dish on Croatian dinner table.B. Europe consumes most of the tuna Croatia exports.C. There are large amounts of tuna in the Mediterranean area.D. Small tuna are kept at the Croatia’s coast and fed to be sold.4. The author points out that ______.A. intensive fishing causes sharp decline of the fish stockB. it is quite difficult to catch tuna in the Mediterranean seasC. Croatia doesn’t really need to import fishD. tuna is the most expensive fish on market5. “One hundred percent of Croatia’s tuna is farm-fattened”. This means that Croatia’s tuna are ______.A. fed and fattened by cropsB. of first class qualityC. kept and fed to larger sizeD. very fat2Passage TwoA college education can be very costly in the United States, especially at a private school. Rising costs have led more and more families to borrow money to help pay for college.There are different federal loans and private loans for students and parents. Interest rates on some of these loans will go up on July 1st. As borrowing has increased, there are growing concerns that many students graduate with too much debt. In 1993, less than one-half of graduates from four-year colleges had student loans. Now two-thirds of them do. Their average loan debt when they graduate is nineteen thousand dollars. At public universities, the average is seventeen thousand dollars.The Project on Student Debt is an action group that collects these numbers from reports. It notes that averages do not present the full picture. For example, in 2004, one-fourth of students with loans graduated more than twenty-five thousand dollars in debt. And that did not include borrowing by their parents. The Project on Student Debt says parents as well as students are borrowing more to pay for college. Students can expect to take about ten years to pay back their loans. Repayment does not begin until after they are out of school.Higher borrowing limits have also helped push up student debts. Students from all economic levels are borrowing more. Corrected for inflation, student loans have increased around sixty percent in ten years.Researchers say one effect is that the higher the debts, the more likely graduates are to look only for high paying jobs. That means there is less chance they will take jobs in areas like teaching or other public service. A study done in 2002 for a major student lender found that debts can also affect lives in other ways. Some students paying back their college loans said they delayed buying their first house. Some delayed marriage or having children.In May, groups representing students, parents and college officials asked the government to change some of its loan repayment rules. The requested changes would recognize graduates who have difficulty repaying their loans because they do not earn very much. They would be able to pay less fight after they graduate, then pay more as their earnings increase.Questions 6-10 are based on Passage Two.6. According to the passage, one may expect that young people graduate with a debt may ______.3A. be looked down upon by othersB. never be able to get rid of itC. avoid starting a family very earlyD. not have to repay all their debts7. Which of the following is NOT true about student loans?A. Higher tuition fees give rise to student loan.B. Students from well-off families don’t borrow money.C. Higher borrowing limits allow students to loan more money.D. It may take quite a long time for graduates to repay their debts.8. Groups representing students, parents and college officials appealed to the government to ______.A. raise graduates’ pay at workB. provide more loan options for studentsC. cut down the amount that students have to repayD. allow graduates to gradually increase their repayment9. The passage is a(n) ______.A. statement of factsB. argument against high student loansC. comment on a controversial issueD. suggestion about student loans10. Which can be the best title for the passage?A. Costly Education, Heavier BurdenB. Fresh out of College, and in DebtC. Efforts to Finance College EducationD. Graduates Expect Lower RepaymentPassage ThreeOn the New York Mercantile Exchange, oil prices broke the record of $76.70 a barrel set just Thursday. The new price of oil for delivery in August shot to $77.95 before finishing the day at $77.03.While $80-a-barrel oil seemed like a skeptic’s worst-case outlook a few months ago, oil traders are increasingly saying that it is now just a matter of time before prices cross that threshold. Oil futures contracts for delivery beyond this summer passed $80 a barrel for the first time on Thursday.4“The feeling is that we’re in a fairly bullish market right now,”said Antoine Halff, head of research at Fimat. “Gasoline demand over the last few weeks has been very robust. Perhaps the bigger issue on top of that is geopolitics. And clearly the market is very jittery about what’s going on in Israel.”Oil markets are typically sensitive to any political instability in the Middle East. Recently, they have been unsettled by Israeli military incursions into Gaza and then, this week, Lebanon. So, a market already worried about the potential for conflict with Iran and North Korea over their nuclear programs is growing even more anxious. William Rhodes, chief investment strategist at Rhodes Analytics, said, “People are scared, that’s the bottom line.”The Commerce Department said that retail sales fell by 0.1 percent in June, seasonally adjusted, the first drop since February. A University of Michigan survey that showed falling consumer confidence was one of the reasons.How resilient consumer spending proves to be is something that will continue to factor heavily into stock performance. Most economists believe that consumers will curb their spending somewhat as the year goes on, and economic growth is expected to slow. But there is disagreement over how much spending will slow.“The persistence of high gasoline prices, coupled with lower equity prices and lower consumer sentiment, will restrain the growth of real consumer spending in the second half of 2006,”Brian Bethune, an analyst with Global Insight, wrote yesterday in a report about the retail sales numbers. But many analysts noted that the month’s decline in retail sales was exaggerat ed by poor car sales, and said that consumers were likely to keep shopping for other goods.Even though the market swooned this week, analysts said that there were no signs yet that the drop was part of a larger unraveling of the economy.Questions 11-15 are based on Passage Three.11. According to the passage, which is NOT one of the factors that cause the oil price to rise?A. There is a large market demand.B. There is a shortage of oil reserve.C. Political situation is instable in the Middle East.D. Consumers worry about the high rise of oil price.12. It can be inferred from the passage that ______.5A. political instability strongly influences oil marketB. price of oil for delivery has already hit $80 a barrelC. oil market is bullish because more people are buying carsD. economy will be seriously affected by the rising oil price13. By “bottom line”, William Rhodes means ______.A. oil is sold at $76.70 a barrelB. oil is sold at $80 a barrelC. oil retail price gradually goes downD. people fear for worse political situation14. The passage indicates that retail sales dropped, because ______.A. gasoline price was highB. dollar value increasedC. people wanted to protect the environmentD. there was not enough stock of gasoline on market15. The author’s tone is ______.A. worriedB. negativeC. objectiveD. cautiousPassage FourAbout 60 million Americans regularly suffer from insomnia, either because they are taking medication, or experiencing pain, or not eating right. Or — according to Russell Rosenberg, who directs the Sleep Medicine Institute in Atlanta, Georgia — simply because they are living in the modern world.“It’s a 24/7 society now. That is, you have Internet 24 [hours], 7 [days a week], television, radio. Everything can keep you distracted from the time you need to sleep. Plus, people are working harder, working more jobs, trying to squeeze in more family-time, more leisure-time and so forth, and so there’s only so much time to do all the things we want to do in one particular day.”According to an annual poll conducted by the National Sleep Foundation, in 2005, 75 percent of Americans experienced sleeping problems ranging from minor and transient to severe6and chronic. That is up from 62 percent in 1999, when the NSF first conducted its poll.The number of Americans turning to prescription sleep aids for help has gone up even more dramatically: nearly 60 percent over the past five years. American pharmacists filled about 42 million sleeping pill prescriptions last year, and most of them were for either Ambien or Lunesta, two recent additions to the sleep aid market.These drugs are not believed to be habit-forming, and they don’t seem to have the same liver-damaging side-effects that earlier sleep aids had. At the same time, there is some evidence that these new sleeping pills may not be completely harmless.Sleep experts also recommend their patients with what is known as “cognitive behavioral therapy,”or CBT. It is a form of psychotherapy that tries to change the way a patient thinks, feels, and acts about sleep.It doesn’t yield immediate results, though, and in many parts of the country, it is unavailable. There are only about 200 clinicians worldwide who have extensive CBT training in the area of sleep. That is part of the reason prescription drugs have become so popular.But the biggest reason, says Gregg Jacobs, an assistant professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, is marketing. “You’ll see their ads every night on television now. They’re the most frequent drug ads on TV. As a result, people around the United States —and soon around the world —are being given the message that you can take a sleeping pill, and it will cure your insomnia. And when people hear that, they rush out to buy this pill.”Questions 16-20 are based on Passage Four.16. Which is the topic of the passage?A. Cures for insomnia.B. Drug companies’ strategies.C. Harms caused by sleeping pills.D. Sleeping problem in the US.17. According to the passage, Ambien and Lunesta are ______.A. sleeping clinicsB. sleep expertsC. sleeping pillsD. symptoms of insomnia18. According to the passage, people who take the new sleeping pills may ______.A. feel sleepy during working hoursB. experience some side-effectsC. develop the habit to eat themD. suffer some liver problem719. Which is implied, but not stated, in the passage?A. In the past, people used to sleep better.B. 75% of Americans had sleeping problem in 2005.C. Some new sleeping pills may not be totally harmless.D. The modern life style is blamed for sleeping problems.20. Sleeping pills are used more often than CBT to combat insomnia for the following reasons EXCEPT ______.A. CBT doesn’t show quick results as sleeping pillsB. drug ads influence people in their choiceC. CBT is too new an idea for patients to acceptD. CBT cannot be found in many parts of the USPassage FiveFarmers in the Midwest put in some of the longest workdays of any profession in the United States. In addition to caring for their crops and livestock, they have to keep up with new farming techniques, such as those for combining soil erosion and increasing livestock production. It is essential that farmers adopt these advances in technology if they want to continue to meet the growing demand of a hungry world.Agriculture is the number one industry in the United States and agricultural products are the country’s leading export. American farmers manage to feed not only the total population of the United States, but also millions of other people throughout the rest of the world. Corn and soybean exports alone account for approximately 75% of the amount sold in world market.This productivity, however, has its price. Intensive cultivation exposes the earth to the damaging forces of nature. Ever y year wind and water remove tons of rich soil from the nation’s croplands, with the result that soil erosion has become a national problem concerning everyone from the farmer to the consumer.Each field is covered by a limited amount of topsoil, the upper layer of earth which is the richest in the nutrient and minerals necessary for growing crops. Ever since the first farmers arrived in the Midwest almost 200 years ago, cultivation and, consequently, erosion have been depleting the supply of topsoil. In the 1830s, nearly two feet of rich, black topsoil covered the8Midwest. Today the average depth is only eight inches, and every decade another inch is blown or washed away. This erosion is steadily decreasing the productivity of valuable cropland. A United States Agricultural Department survey states that if erosion continues at its present rate, corn and soybean yields in the Midwest may drop as much as 30% over the next 50 years.So far, farmers have been able to compensate for the loss of fertile topsoil by applying more chemical fertilizers to their fields; however, while this practice has increased crop yields, it has been devastating for ecology. Agriculture has become one of the biggest polluters on the nation’s precious water supply. Rivers, lakes, and underground reserves of water are being filled in and poisoned by soil and chemicals carried by the drainage from eroding fields. Furthermore, fertilizers only replenish the soil; they do not prevent its loss.Clearly something else has to be done in order to avoid an eventual ecological disaster. Conservationists insist that the solution to this problem lies in new and better farming techniques. Concerned farmers are building terraces on hilly fields, rotating their crops, and using new plowing methods to cut soil loss significantly. Substantial progress has been made, but soil erosion is far from being under control.Questions 21-25 are based on Passage Five.21. Which of the following is NOT true?A. Farmers are the only people who are concerned about soil erosion.B. Farmers in the Midwest lead a very busy life and work long hours.C. Farmers should use advanced techniques to produce more food.D. Farmers in the U.S provide food for the U.S. and other countries.22. Agricultural products of the U.S. ______.A. consist mainly of corn, wheat and soybeansB. enjoy the world reputation for the good qualityC. are the largest source of exports of the countryD. account for about 75% of those sold in world market23. What is the downside of using chemical fertilizers according to the passage?A. It worsens soil erosion.B. It endangers people’s health.C. It poisons the cropsD. It pollutes water supply.924. Which is true about topsoil in Midwest?A. It is the richest in the U.S.B. It is lacking nutrients.C. It is becoming thinner.D. It is ruined by chemicals.25. Farmers can do the following things to prevent soil erosion EXCEPT ______.A. rotating their cropsB. using effective fertilizersC. using new plowing methodsD. building terraces on hilly fieldsII. Vocabulary. (10 points, 1 point for each)Directions: Scan the following passage and find the words which have roughly the same meanings as those given below. The number in the brackets after each word definition refers to the number of paragraph in which the target word is. Write the word you choose on the Answer Sheet.Most of us buy vitamins for one of three reasons. Either we believe that they are prophylactic, that is they will ward off advancing ill, or they are therapeutic and will deal with the ills we have already, or finally we may believe they are wonder drugs and will lift us into a state of super health. We are protected from some of these wild imaginings by the laws which control advertising but even without false promises we still believe that vitamins will “do us good”.Belief is a very potent state of mind and the power of the placebo pill is never underestimated in clinical trials used to test new drugs. A placebo is a harmless substance given to one group of patients in the trial and it is similar in taste and appearance to a new drug which is given to a second group of patients. Theoretically the drug should cure or relieve any symptoms and the placebo should have no effect. Often these trials produce surprising results and the placebo group recovers as well as the group taking the new drug.Vitamins B and C cannot be retained in the body, so if we take more than we need of these, they are soon excreted in the urine. Taking too much of the fat soluble vitamins can be dangerous and vitamins A and D should never be taken indiscriminately. Vitamin E has not been found to have any toxic effect in large doses, but neither do there seem to be any noticeable benefits. This is an unexplored area in vitamin research and the only known advantages of vitamin E are confined to specialized medical cases.26. to prevent something from harming you (Para. 1)1027. very good and effective (Para. 1)28. situations or ideas that are not real or true (Para. 1)29. having a powerful effect on your body or mind (Para.2)30. a series of testing to find out whether something works (Para.2)31. to make a pain or problem less severe (Para.2)32. gets well after an illness, accident, shock (Para.2)33. not thinking carefully before making a choice (Para.3)34. poisoning (Para.3)35. examples of particular situations, problems (Para.3)III. Summarization. (20 points, 2 points for each)Directions: In this section of the test, there are ten paragraphs. Each of the paragraphs is followed by an incomplete phrase or sentence which summarizes the main idea of the paragraph. Spell out the missing letters of the word on your Answer Sheet.Paragraph OneBetween 1979 and 1999, extremely hot weather killed more than 8000 people in the US. In that period, more Americans died from extreme heat than from severe storms, lightning, floods and earthquakes together.36. Extreme heat was the top killer among several n______ threats.Paragraph TwoThe body itself is mostly water —more than 65% water. Water in blood carries hormones and antibodies through the body. Water in urine carries away waste materials. Water is also needed for cooling the body on hot days, carrying body heat to the surface of the skin.37. Water is essential to h______.Paragraph ThreeDevelopment aid has increased since 2002. Still, the report says severe poverty continues to worsen, in part because of H.I.V./AIDS. Environmental conditions also add to poverty. The report says climate change already affects many low-lying and island nations, and more problems are likely in the years to come.38. Worse poverty situation despite i______ development aid.11Paragraph FourStrong earthquakes forced the bottom of the sea to rise above the water. After millions of years, it was pushed up into the air to form land and mountains. Meanwhile, hot liquid rock from deep in the Earth pushed to the surface. This liquid rock slowly cooled. The then cooling liquid formed a very hard rock known as granite.39. Theory about f______ of land and mountains.Paragraph FiveMany centuries of rain caused huge rivers to move violently through this area. Over time, these rivers cut deep into the new mountains. During the great Ice Age, millions of tons of ice cut and shaped the cooled granite to form giant rocks, known as Half Dome.40. V______ forms of water change the outlook of the area.Paragraph SixCitizens who had formed a military group were the first real modern explorers of the valley. They were at war with the local Indians and came into the valley. The white soldiers called it Yosemites after the Indians.41. White world’s f______ of Yosemites.Paragraph SevenMany young Americans began to challenge some of the traditions of their parents and grandparents. For example, some young women began to experiment with new kinds of clothes. They no longer wore dresses that hid the shape of their bodies. Instead, they wore thinner dresses that uncovered part of their legs.42. Youth defied traditional d______ style.Paragraph EightSupporters say the goal is to get students to think about what they want to do and help them prepare for their future. But some people say the program could make it difficult for students to explore different possibilities, as they are too young to know what they want to do in life.43. For and a______ over a school program.Paragraph NineEducators did not become involved with blogging right away. Many were concerned with12privacy issues and security. But now, thousands of teacher blogs can be found on the Internet. Many teachers do not identify themselves, and they change the names of students and co-workers.44. Many teachers are going for blogs although some w______ about privacy issues. Paragraph TenEmployment of women with babies under one year dropped in the most recent period reported by the Census Bureau. The rate decreased from 59% in 1998 to 55% in 2002. The Census Bureau said this was the first recorded drop since it began to keep these records in 1976.45. F______ women with infants are being employed.IV. Translation. (20 points, 4 points for each)Directions: In the following passage, there are five groups of underlined sentences. Read the passage carefully and translate these sentences into Chinese. Write the Chinese version on your Answer Sheet.It’s believed the Internet was born in 1969 when two computers at the University of California, Los Angeles, were connected by a 15-foot cable, with bits of meaningless data flowing between them. 46. Since then the Net has taken off, with some 137 million U.S. computers online plus another 152 million outside the United States. And while the number of Internet-linked computers is surging, the volume of traffic they are carrying is increasing even faster. Some projections have it doubling every 100 days.47. This is not surprising since a hallmark of the Cyber Age is connectivity and the sharing of information. The assertion that “information is meant to be free”is an increasing reality since it can be moved from those who have it to those who need it in the blink of an eye —and at virtually no cost, unlike for other media. This computer-driven contribution to the vitality of the U.S. economy is immeasurable.Auction sites have been springing up all over the Internet, but the undisputed leader is eBay.48. You simply go to eBay’s Web site, register, post a description of what you have to sell, along with photos and a minimum price, if you like. Bids from interested buyers appear on your computer screen, which is instantly updated as better bids come in. Once the auction ends, the highest bidder is obliged to pay for the item.One of the Internet’s truly great features is that anybody can be a player who has an idea for13a Web site and a few dollars to get it up and running. Possibly the most notorious site of all is the one dreamed up by an 18-year-old dropout from Northeastern University in Boston, Shawn Fanning, nicknamed the “Napster”for his unruly red hair. 49. He created the world’s biggest online free-music community, which allows 38 million popular music lovers to exchange hundreds of recordings, using the Napster system as a search engine to find exactly what they want.Napster has outraged everyone connected with the record business, from artists whose creative work was being hijacked to the Recording Industry Association of America, which bro ught a lawsuit seeking an injunction aimed at ending Napster’s brief, if notorious, life. It now appears, incredibly, that this deadlock may actually be resolved to almost everyone’s satisfaction. Napster users may pay a modest monthly fee, which will be divided up among those creating, producing, and delivering the music. Napster is receiving financial backing from the German media giant Bertelsmann, which is getting a piece of Napster in return. There is a sticking point, however, since it’s now unclear h ow to put a user name and price on every digital music file being downloaded. 50. It’s also unclear if Napster users will pay even a few bucks a month for the service.14。

There are only a few jobs that only one of us does, and the rest are thought of as 21 duty. This situation 22 naturally rather than being the result of some 23 design. It is the result of our both having careers and 24 to the income of the household. If 25 of us, for some reason, stopped working outside the home, the 26 of responsibility would certainly change.Since I began doing housework on an equal 27 what has 28 me is how easy it is. I do not mean that all the housework itself is easy; I mean that to take over tasks 29 regarded as “women’s work”was not as difficult a personal experience as I had expected. I thought, then ,that I would not only 30 curious attention from other people, but that I would have difficulty personally adjusting to 31 housework in a home in which my father never did any, and where I had never been obliged to do any either.I was quite surprised, then, when not only 32 I not receive so much as a 33 eyebrow when wheeling a baby carriage down the middle of my street, but I found myself enjoying these new tasks very much. 34 that I enjoy every aspect of child care, cooking, and cleaning.
