college,J.E.Naismith,was asked to invent a new game for the students.It was not an easy job because such a game had to be played indoors,and the court was not very large.Naismith thought for a few days and invented a kind of ball game.It was a fast,exciting game with much moving and passing of the ball.It was played between two teams.To make score,the ball had to be thrown into a basket ten feet high above the floor on the wall.At each end of the court there was such a basket.At first,Naismith had planned to have the ball thrown into a box,as he could not find boxes of the right size,he

come from a report which was written for advertisers,the report shows a new picture of women today.For instance,it tells advertisers that51%of all American women have traveled by air-along with59%of

So the massacre(大屠杀)on the road may be regarded as a social problem. In fact, the enemies of society on wheels are rather harmless people, just ordinary people acting carelessly, you might say. But it is a principle both of law and common morality that carelessness is no excuse when one’s actions could bring death or damage to others Researchers have estimated that as many as 80 percent of all automobile accidents can be attributed to the psychological condition of the driver. Emotional upsets can distort drivers reactions, slow their judgments, and blind them to dangers that might otherwise be evident. The experts warn that it is vital for every driver to make a conscious effort to keep one’s emotions under control. Yet the irresponsibility that accounts for much of the problem is not confined to drivers. Street walkers regularly violate traffic regulations. They are at fault in most vehicle walker accidents. And many cyclists even believe that they are not subject to the basicrules of the road. Significant legal advances have been made towards safer driving in the past few years. Safety standards for vehicle have been raised both at the point of manufacture and through periodic roadworthiness inspections. In addition, speed limits have been lowered. Due to these measures, the accident rate has deceased. But the accident experts still worry because there has been little or no improvement in the way drivers behave. The only real and lasting solution, say the experts, is to convince people that driving is a skilled task requiring constant care and concentration. Those who fail to do all these things present a threat to those with whom they share the roadside.41.What is the author’s main purpose in writing the passage?A.To show that the motor vehicle is a very dangerous invention.B.To promote understanding between careless drivers and street walker.C.To discuss traffic problems and propose possible solution.D.To warn drivers of the importance of safe driving.正确答案:D42.According to the passage, traffic accidents may be regarded as a social problem because( ).A.autos have become most destructive to mankindB.people usually pay little attention to law and moralityC.civilization brings much harm to peopleD.the lack of virtue is becoming more severe正确答案:D43.Why does the author mention the psychological condition of the driver in Paragraph 2?A.To give an example of the various reasons for road accidents.B.To show how important it is for drivers to be emotionally healthy.C.To show some of the inaccurate estimations by researchers.D.To illustrate the hidden tensions in the course of driving.正确答案:B44.Who are NOT mentioned as being responsible for the road accidents?A.Careless bicycle-riders.B.Irresponsible manufactures of automobiles.C.Irresponsible driver.D.Mindless people walking in the street.正确答案:A45.Which of the following best reflects the author’s attitude toward a future without traffic accident problems?A.Happy and rather confident.B.Surprised and very pleased.C.Disappointed and deeply worried.D.Doubtful yet still longing for.正确答案:DThe often criticized child of the industrial age, advertising, has grown as societies have become more industrialized and, therefore, more commercialized. No modern industry or company can survive without advertising. It is the vital link between the producer and the customer. If advertising were abolished, as many people have suggested it should be, the public and the companies that advertise would suffer a considerable loss. Most people think of television as an inexpensive source of entertainment. Television’s primary purpose, however, is not to provide an entertainment service,except for government-owned network, it exists in order to promote products for companies. Unless the television industry received income from advertising, watching television would be at least as expensive as going to the movies. Like television, many magazines and newspapers exist primarily to sell products.In some sensitive cases, the stories, pictures, and editorials simply attract people to buy a particular publication. Once a person begins to read, there is no escaping the advertising. Advertising not only pays for, or helps pay for, much of the mass media; it also provides the consumer with news from industry. This news functions first to influence the buyers to choose one product over another. It also informs people of new products what are important in their lives, for example, the development of salt-free butter for heart patients, or the development of tires that prevent skidding(刹车打滑)on wet pavement. Advertising does not usually increase the total number of products sold; it does help determine which company sells more of which products. Its main function is to relay news from the manufacture to the consumer. Since this is a necessary service, advertising will remain a part of people’s everyday lives and a part of every company’s budget.46.According to the passage, modern industry or company can survive( ).A.if advertising continues to existB.if the link between the customers and manufacturers remains goodC.if “the criticized child” dies outD.if societies have become more industrialized正确答案:A47.From the passage, we may figure out that “vital”in line 3, paragraph 1means( ).A.directB.importantC.onlyD.visible正确答案:B48.According to the passage, the main purpose of television industry is( ).A.to make money from customersB.to advertise for companiesC.to provide entertainment serviceD.to persuade people to buy new types of television正确答案:B49.The main function of advertising is( ).A.promoting products for companiesB.informing public of new productsC.influencing buyersD.all of the above正确答案:D50.Which of the following is NOT true about advertising?A.Advertising does not always increase the sales.B.Advertising serves to relay information from buyers to producers.C.Advertising is and will continue to be a necessary part of everyday lives.D.It is suggested that advertising should be abolished.正确答案:DAccording to airline industry statistics, almost 90% of airline accidents are not survivable or partially survivable. But passengers can increase their chances of survival by learning and following certain tips. Experts say that you should read and listen to safety instructions before takeoff and ask question if you have uncertainties. You should fasten your seat belt low on your hips and as possible. Of course, you should also know how the release mechanism of your belt operates. During takeoffs and landings you are advised to keep your feet flat on the floor. Before takeoff you should locate the nearest exit and an alternative exit and count the rows of seats between you and the exits so that you can find them in the dark if necessary. In the event that you are forewarned of a possible accident, you should put your hands on your ankles and keep your head down until the plane comes to a complete stop. If smoke is present in the cabin, you should keep your head low andcover your face with napkins, towels, or clothing. If possible, wet these for added protection against smoke inhalation. To evacuate as quickly as possible, follow crew commands and do not take personal belongings with you. Do not jump on escape slides before they are fully inflated, and when you jump, do so with your arms and legs extended in front of you. When you get to the ground, you should move away from the plane as quickly as possible, and never smoke near the wreckage.51.According to the experts, when should travelers read and listen to safety instructions?A.Before takeoff.B.In an emergency.C.Throughout the flight.D.During landings.正确答案:A52.Which exits suggested in the passage should an airline passenger locate before takeoff?A.The ones that can be found in the dark.B.The two closest to the passenger’s seat.C.The ones at the back of the plane.D.The nearest one.正确答案:D53.Judging from the passage, people have more chances to survive fires in aircraft if they( ).A.fasten their seat belt tightlyB.read airline safety statistics before takeoffC.keep their feet flat on the floorD.keep their heads low正确答案:D54.Airline passengers are specifically told NOT to( ).A.ask question about safety during the flightB.jump in any circumstancesC.carry personal belongings in an emergencyD.locate the nearest exit正确答案:C55.What is the main purpose of the passage?A.To please travelers.B.To give the information of airline industry statistics.C.To guide people to survive fires.D.To provide safety advice.正确答案:DA few years ago an American campaigner wrote a book in which he set the main points of his fascinating crusade(改革运动)-to abolish television. His book Four Arguments for the Elimination of Television is an American cult(狂热崇拜的)bestseller, and after eight editions is still generating concern and savage debate(热烈的讨论)in the USA. JerryMander, a former advertising expert is convinced that for the sake of our freedom, and mental and physical health, we should learn to live without TV. Through his advertising background Mander is aware of how much of television is concerned with advertising. He sees the planting of values for profit as “a deep, profound and disturbing act by the few against the many, for a trivial purpose”. And, even without commercials, he sees TV as disturbing because it crams people’s heads with images, which alter the way they feel and behave. Pictures formed by 300, 000 tiny dancing dots altering 30 times per second, bombard(轰击)their eyes as people scan the images 10 times a second. The brain registers stores all 30 images, but the conscious mind registers far fewer. But, argues Mander, even if you reject or doubt what you see consciously, it is too late, the crucial(极其重要的)messages have gone home. He further argues that TV is deadening experience as it is restricted to just two senses—sight and sound. “Perception(感觉,感知)is dulled and flattened, “says Mander, “when you can’t feel and smell and totally experience an event. “People are just sitting passively for up to four hours a night watching a flickering screen and listening to artificial sound. “No culture in history has spent such an enormous amount of time looking at artificial light, “says Mander, “and another worrying fact is that prolonged exposure to artificial light alters human cells, which is why it is being used for certain medical treatment. “Researchers do not know if lifelong TV exposure is a physical risk or not, but as Mander Would argue, why run the risk ? It is important that people get up now and switch off before the harm is done —they might also become brainwashed, or, who knows, they might even be approaching death.56.Four Arguments for the Elimination of Television is a book which( ).A.caused distress to many AmericansB.achieved great success overseasC.aroused nation-wide interestD.expressed the views of a fascinating man正确答案:C57.JerryMander objects to TV advertising mainly because( ).A.the underlying principles concern money-makingB.it isineffectual in getting its message acrossC.a few people are deeply disturbed by itD.the values it conveys are accepted by all正确答案:A58.Mander thinks people’s feelings and behaviour are changed because( ).A.the brain is able to make conscious decisionsB.the conscious mind is incapable of filtering images to the brainC.their eyes scan a TV screen 10 times a secondD.the conscious mind is unable to reject the images it sees正确答案:B59.By watching TV for several hours every night, Mander implies that( ).A.people would lose the use of their other sensesB.people’s experience of life would become deadenedC.people’s ability to respond to events would lessenD.people would come to depend on only two senses正确答案:C60.Mander suggests that viewing TV over long periods of time( ).A.could lead to deathB.might cause brain damageC.could endanger people’s healthD.would make cells damaged正确答案:CClozeRumor is the most【C1】______way of spreading stories—by passing them on from mouth【C2】______mouth. But civilized countries in normal times have better 【C3】______of news than rumor. They have radio, television, and newspapers. In times of stress and【C4】______,【C5】______, rumor【C6】______and becomes widespread.

That this was so, it should be said, was to no small extent the fault of banks and bankers themselves. Banks used to be—and a few still are—forbidding structures. Behind the little barred windows were, more often than not, elderly gentlemen whose expression of friendliness reflected the size of the customer’s account, and nothing less than a few hundred thousand in the bank could have inspired the suggestion of a smile.And yet the average bank for many year was, to the average citizen, a fearful, if necessary, instrument for dealing with business—usually big business. But somewhere in the past quarter century, banks Began to grow human, even pleasant, and started to attract the little man. It is possible that this movement began in medium-sized towns, or in small towns where people know each other by their first names, and spread to big towns. At any rate, the results have been remarkable.The movement to “humanize” hanks, of course, received a big push during the war, when more and more women were employed to do work previously performed by men. Also more and more “little” people found themselves in need of personal loans, as taxes became heavier and as the practice of installment (分期付款) buying broke down the previously long—held concept that there was something almost morally wrong about being in debt. All sorts of people began to discover that the intelligent use of credit (信贷) could be extremely helpful.author believes that the unfriendly atmosphere in banks many years ago was chiefly due to ________.A) the outer appearance of bank buildingsB) unfriendliness of customers toward banksC) economic pressure of the timeD) the attitude of hankersbanks of many years ago showed interest only in ________.A) regular visitorsB) rich customersC) friendly businessmenD) elderly gentlemendid banks begin to grow human?A) Sometime before the war.B) A few years ago.C) During the war.D) In the last century.helped to push the “humanization” of banks?A) More and more “little” people became customers of banks.B) The elderly gentlemen in banks were replaced by women.C) More banks were set up in small and medium-sized towns.D) The size of the customer’s account was greatly increased.People seldom borrowed money from bank in the bank because ________.A) the bank buildings looked forbiddingB) they were comparatively rich before the warC) they thought it was not proper to be in debtD) they rarely spent more than they could earnPassage TwoQuestions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage.Last summer, Transportation Secretary Elizabeth Dole announced a new rule: Unless states representing two-thirds of the country’s population pass compulsory (强制性的) seat-belt-use laws by April 1989, all new vehicles will have to be fitted with air bags or automatic seat belts.The rule wouldn’t have been necessary but for one simple fact. Even though seat belts could prevent nearly half of the deaths in fatal car accidents, 85 percent of the population simply won’t wear them.Why not? Behavioral engineers have found that there are all sorts of reasons—usually unstated. These are some of the most popular. It’s safer to be thrown from a car man trapped. According to E. Scott Geller, that’s a faulty argument. “In fact”, he says, “being thrown from a car is twenty-five times more dangerous than being trapped”.It won’t happen to me; I’m a good driver. But what about the other person who may be a terrible driver? The data show that the average incidence (发生率) for all accidents in one per driver every 10 years.My car will end up underwater or on fire, and I won’t be able to get out. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), only percent of all injury-producing accidents occur under these conditions. “If you’re wearing a belt, you’ve got a better chance of being conscious and not having your legs broken—distinct advantages in getting out of a dangerous situation”.I’m only going a few blocks. Yet 80 percent of accidents happen at speeds or less that 25 miles per hour, 75 percent happen within 25 miles of home.1989, in the United States ________.A) the use of seat belts was not compulsory for the majority of the populationB) a new law requiring the use of seat belts had just been passedC) people had to choose between the use of seat belts or the use of air bagsD) almost fifty percent of the people involved in car accidents were saved by seat Belts word “trapped” (Para. 3, Line 3) means to be ________.A) held up in a traffic jamB) confined in the carC) caught in an accidentD) pulled into a carof the reasons why many drivers refuse to wear seat belts is because ________.A) they don’t think that it is comfortable to wear seat beltsB) they don’t believe that an accident involving a terrible driver is highly probableC) they believe that no danger is involved in just driving a few blocksD) they think that few drivers are willing to wear seat beltscan be inferred from the passage that ________.A) seat belts should be replaced by air bagsB) eighty-five percent of all drivers are likely to Break traffic rulesC) all drivers, whether good or bad, are liable to have an accident at one time or anotherD) wearing seat belts will get drivers out of dangerous situationspurpose of the writer in writing this passage is ________.A) to urge the government to pass the law soonerB) to tell how dangerous car-driving can beC) to criticise those who refuse to use seat beltsD) to prove the necessity of the new rulePassage ThreeQuestions 61 to 65 are based on the following passage.For well over 2000 years the world’s great religions have taught the virtues of a trusting heart. Now there is another reason to merit the wisdom of the ages: scientific evidence indicates that those with trusting hearts will live longer, healthier lives.As a result of the work published in the 1970s by two pioneering heart specialists, Meyer Friedman and Ray H. Rosenman, nearly every American is aware that blood Type. A people are impatient, and easily moved to hostility and anger. Many have come to believe thatType As are at a much higher risk of suffering heart attack or dying of heart disease than others.The driving force behind hostility is a cynical (愤世嫉俗) mistrust of others. If we expect others to mistreat us, we are seldom disappointed. This generates anger and leads us to respond with hostility.The most characteristic attitude of a cynic is being suspicious of the motives of people he doesn’t know. Imagine you are waiting for an elevator and it stops two floors above for longer than usual. How inconsiderate (不替别人着想的) You think. In a few seconds, you have drawn hostile conclusions about unseen people and their motives.Meanwhile, your cynical mistrust is leading to noticeable physical consequences. Your voice rises. The rate and depth of your breathing increases. Your heart is beating faster and harder, and the muscles of your arms and legs become tight. You feel “charged up”, ready for action.If you frequently experience these feelings, you may be at increased risk of developing serious health problems. Anger can add to the risk of heart and other diseases.to the author, people with trusting hearts are ________.A) usually intelligent and wiseB) usually very religiousC) less likely to get heart diseasesD) not likely to be mistreated by othersbook by Meyer Friedman and Ray H. Rosenman most probably discusses ________.A) friendliness and hostilityB) trust and mistrust of peopleC) heart diseases and death rateD) people’s characters and their blood typesto the passage, if you have a fixed idea in mind that people will mistreat you, you will always find it ________.A) to be disappointingB) to be pleasingC) to be wrongD) to be socynic, in the passage, is a person ________.A) who is always ready to fightB) who usually has doubts about the people around himC) whose behaviour usually leads to serious health problemsD) whose behaviour usually seems strange to the people he knowsauthor’s intention in writing the passage is to ________.A) advise people to be patientB) analyze the danger of heart diseasesC) persuade people to be trustfulD) praise the wisdom of the old peopleShort Answer QuestionsDirections:In this part there is a short passage with five questions or incomplete statements. Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words (not exceeding 10 words.)For many women choosing whether to work or not to work outside their home is a luxury: they must work to survive. Others face a hard decision.Perhaps the easiest choice has to do with economics. One husband said, “Marge and I decided after careful consideration that for her to go back to work at this moment was an extravagance (奢侈) we couldn’t afford.” With two preschool children, it soon becameclear in their figuring that with babysitters (临时照看小孩的人), transportation, and increased taxes, rather than having more money, they might actually end up with less.Economic factors are usually the first to be considered, but they are not the most important. The most important aspects of the decision have to do with the emotional needs of each member of the family. It is in this area that husbands and wives find themselves having to face many confusing and conflicting feelings.There are many women who find that homemaking is boring or who feel imprisoned (被囚禁) if they have to stay home with a young child or several children. On the other hand, there are women who think that homemaking gives them the deepest satisfaction.From my own experience. I would like to suggest that sometime the decision to go back to work is made in too much haste. There are few decisions that I now regret more. I wasn’t mature enough to see how much I could have gained at home. I regret my impatience to get on with my career. I wish I had allowed myself the luxury of watching the world through my little girl’s eyes.Questions:word in the first tow paragraphs best explains why many women have to work?did Marge and her husband think it an extravagance for Marge to go back to work?are the two major considerations in deciding whether women should go out to work?women would rather do housework and take care of their children than pursue a career because they feel ________.given a second chance, the writer would probably choose to ________.Part IV Translation71. 他要她放弃工作在家照顾孩子,但是她觉得这个要求太过分了。

Section 1Directions: There are 4 passages in this section. After each passage there are 5 questions. Each question is followed by four answers marked A. B.C. andD. Choose the best one and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage 1More than 80 percent of US adults have a less than 10 percent risk of developing heart disease in the next 10 years, according to a report in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology. Just 3 percent have a risk that exceeds 20 percent.“I hope that these numbers will g ive physicians, researchers, health policy analysts, and others a better idea of how coronary heart disease is distributed in the US population," lead author Dr. Earl S. Ford, from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, said in a statement.The findings are based on analysis of data from 13,769 subjects, between 20 and 79 years of age, who participated in the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey from 1988 to 1994.Overall, 82 percent of adults had a risk of less than 10 percent, 15 percent had a risk that fell between 10 to 20 percent, and 3 percent had arisk above 20 percent.The proportion of subjects in the highest risk group increased with advancing age, and men were more likely than women to be in this group. By contrast, race or ethnicity had little effect on risk distributions.Although the report suggests that most adults have a low 10-year risk of heart disease, a large proportion have a high or immediate risk, Dr. Daniel Burman, from Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Liverpool, note in a related editorial.Aggressive treatment measures and public health strategies are needed to shift the overall population risk downward, they add.26.The percentage of most UK adults likely to develop heart disease in the next 10 years is______.A.above 3%B.below 10%C.above 20%D.10% to 20%27.The subjects who participated in the survey were all______.A.teenagersB.under 20C.mid-aged adultsD.between 22 to 7028.Those more likely to develop heart disease are______.A.aged menB. young menC.aged womenD.white people29.The chance of UK adults to face an immediate threat of heart disease is______.A.lowB.highC.mediumD.not mentioned30.The word “aggressive" in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to ______.A.additionalB.defensiveC.practicalD.forcefulPassage 2Humor and laughter are good for us. These is increasing evidence that they can heal us physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. In fact every system of the body responds to laughter in some positive, healing way. So how can we get more laughter into our lives? Is it possible to develop a sense of humor? Psychologist and author, Steve Wilson, has some answers.Many people believe that we are born with a sense of humor. Theythink, “either you've got it, or you don't” Dr. Wilson points out that this is false. What is true, however, is that we are born with the capacity to laugh and smile.The parts of the brain and central nervous system that control laughing and smiling are mature at birth. However, that does not mean that infants have a sense of humor. (After all, when a baby laughs, we don't rush over and say. “That kid has a great sense of humor!”) A sense of humor is something that you can develop over a lifetime.Sometimes people think that they don't have a good sense of humor because they are not good joke tellers. Dr. Wilson reminds us that telling jokes is only one of many ways to express humor. He advises us to lose our inhibitions(抑制)and try to laugh at ourselves. Then we will make others laugh, too.A person who has a true sense of humor is willing and able to see the funny side of everyday life. One of the best definitions of a sense of humor is “the ability to see the non-serious element in a situation". Consider this sign from a story window. Any faulty merchandise will be cheerfully replaced with merchandise of equal quality. The store manager probably placed the sign in the window to impress customers with the store's excellent service. He had a serious purpose, but if you have a sense of humor, you will probably find the sign funny!

It would seem silly to call such a thing a “disease”.On the other hand, scientists are increasingly learning that aging and biological age are two different things,and that the former is a key risk factor for conditions such as heart disease, cancer and many more. In that light, aging itself might be seen as something treatable, the way you would treat high blood pressure or a vitamin deficiency.Biophysicist Alex Zhavoronkov believes that aging should be considered a disease. He said that describing aging as a disease creates incentives to develop treatments.“It unties the hands of the pharmaceutic al(制药的)industry so that they can begin treating the disease and not just the side effects." he said “Right now, people think of aging as natural and something you can't control,”he said. “In academic circles, people take aging research as just an interest area where they can try to develop interventions. The medical community also takes aging for granted, and can do nothing about it except keep people within a certain health range.”But if aging were recognized as a disease, he said, “It would attract funding and change the way we do health care. What matters is understanding that aging is curable.”“It was always known that the body accumulates damage," he added. “The only way to cure aging is to find ways to repair that damage. I think of it as preventive medicine for age-related conditions.”Leonard Hayflick, a professor at the University of California,San Francisco, said the idea that aging can be cured implies the human lifespan can be increased, which some researchers suggest is possible. Hayflick is not among them.“There're many people who recover from cancer, stroke, or heart disease. But they continue to age, because aging is separate from their disease," Hayflick said. “Even if those causes of death were eliminated, life expectancy would still not g o much beyond 92 years.”36.What do people generally believe about aging?A.It should cause no alarm whatsoever.B.They just cannot do anything about it.C. It should be regarded as a kind of disease.D.They can delay it with advances in science.37.How do many scientists view aging now?A.It might be prevented and treated.B.It can be as risky as heart disease.C.It results from a vitamin deficiencyD.It is an irreversible biological process.38.What does Alex Zhavoronkov think of “describing aging as a disease”?A.It will prompt people to take aging more seriously.B.It will greatly help reduce the side effects of aging.C.It will free pharmacists from the conventional beliefs about aging.D.It will motivate doctors and pharmacists to find ways to treat aging.39.What do we learn about the medical community?A.They now have a strong interest in research on aging.B.They differ from the academic circles in their view on aging.C.They can contribute to people's health only to a limited extent.D.They have ways to intervene in people's aging process.40.What does Professor Leonard Hayflick believe?A.The human lifespan cannot be prolonged.B.Aging is hardly separable from disease.C.Few people can live up to the age of 92.D.Heart disease is the major cause of agingPassage 4Ballet is a dance form that has a long history. The fact that it survives to this day shows that it has adjusted as times have changed.Ballet began in the royal courts during the Renaissance. At that time it became common for kings and queens, as well as other nobility(贵族), to participate in pageants that included music, poetry, and dance. As these entertainments moved from the Italian courts to the French ones, courtladies began participating in them. Though their long dresses prevented much movement, they were able to perform elaborate(复杂的)walking patterns. It was not until the 1600s that women dancers shortened their skirts, changed to fiat shoes, and began doing some of the leaps and turns performed by men.It was also in the 1600s that professional ballet began. King Louis XIV of France, himself a devoted dancer, founded the Royal Academy of Dance. The five basic feet positions from which all ballet steps begin were finalized. In the late 1700s, another important change occurred. Ballet began to tell a story on its own. It was no longer simply dance to be performed between acts of plays. Elaborate wigs(假发)and costumes were eliminated. By the early 1800s dancers learned to rise on their toes to make it appear that they were floating.Classical ballet as we know it today was influenced primarily by Russian dancing. The Russians remained interested in ballet when it declined in other European countries in the mid-1800s. One of the most influential figures of the early 20th century was Sergei Diaghilev. His dance company, the Ballets Russes, brought a new energy and excitement to ballet. One of his chief assistants, George Balanchine, went on to found the New York City Ballet in 1948 and to influence new generations of dancers.41.This passage deals mainly with _______.A.famous names in balletB.Russian balletC.how ballet has developedD.why ballet is no longer popular42.The word “pageants” in Paragraph 2 means_______.A.dancesB.instructionsC.royal courtsD.big shows43.Professional ballet was first performed in _______.A.ItalyB.FranceC.RussiaD.America44.Who had an important influence on early ballet?A.Balanchine.B.Antoinette.C.Diaghilev.D.Louis XIV.45.We can conclude from this passage that ballet_______.A.is a dying artB.will continue to changeC.is currently performed only in RussiaD.is often performed by dancers with little trainingSection 2Directions: There is one passage in this section. Read the passage and fill in each blank (No.46 to No.50) with no more than three words. Write your answers in the corresponding space on the Answer sheet.Until late in the 20th century, most Americans spent time with people of different generations. Now middle-aged Americans may not keep in touch with old people until they are old themselves. That's because we group people by age. We put our three-year-old together in day-care centers, our 13-year-olds in schools and sports activities, and our 80 year-old in senior-citizen homes. Why?We live away from the old for many reasons. Teenagers sometimes avoid the old to get rid of fears of aging and dying. It is much harder to watch someone we love disappear before our eyes. Sometimes it's so hard that we stay away from the people who need us the most. Fortunately, some of us have found our way to the old. And we have discovered that they often save the young.A reporter moved her family onto a block filled with old people. At first her children were disappointed. But the reporter baked banana bread for the neighbors and had her children deliver it and visit. Soon the children had many new friends, with whom they shared food, stories and projects. “My children have never been less lonely," the reporter said.The young, in turn, save the old. Once I was in a rest home(养老院) when a visitor showed up with a baby, she was immediately surrounded. People who hadn't gotten out of bed in a week suddenly were ringing for a wheelchair. Even those who had seemed asleep woke up to watch the child. Babies have an astonishing power to comfort and cure.Grandparents are a special case. They give their grandchildren afeeling of security(安全)and continuity. As my husband put it, “My grandparents gave me a deep sense that things would turn out right in the end." Grandchildren speak of attention they don't get from worried parents. “My parents were always telling me to hurry up, and my grandparents told me to slow down," one friend said. A teacher told me she can tell which pupils have relationships with grandparents: they arePart III Translation - English into Chinese 20%Directions: This part is to test your ability to translate English into Chinese.

In the first place, some state laws provide a death penalty but some protection.

Once the national holiday arrives, my mom rises early to make the meal. She puts a turkey in the oven, chops carrots and bakes pies. I'm sorry to say that the men in the family—my dad, my younger brother and myself—rarely pitch in to help. Our job is to wash the mountain of dirty dishes after the meal is over.Around 2 p.m. every Thanksgiving Day, family members seat themselves around the kitchen table. Plates of turkey, vegetables, salad, rolls and pies cover it. At this point, we can hardly keep ourselves from drooling(流口水)all over our fancy clothes, but it's not yet time to eat.First, we must bow our heads, close our eyes and say a prayer of thanks aloud to God for giving us everything we have. Under normal circumstances, I would have no problem making a list of things I am thankful for. I grew up in a loving family. My parents, who aren't wealthy, took out loans to help me pay for university.But, the funny thing is, every time I sit down for Thanksgiving dinner and try to say a prayer of thanks, my mind usually goes blank. I think it has something to do with my growling(咕咕叫)stomach and all of that food sitting rightthere under my nose.Eventually, though, we all finish our short prayers and dig in. To be sure, the day includes other highlights—visiting family and watching football. But usually around 6 p.m. we are all ourselves stuffed like turkeys and thankful to have a nice warm bed to sleep inThe purpose of the text is to()A.tell what the family do for Thanksgiving DayB.tell how the family spend Thanksgiving DayC.introduce foods served on Thanksgiving DayD.introduce the American Thanksgiving Day48.Which of the following statements about communication by hearing is true ()munication by hearing is more important than communication by sightB.Whistling and applauding are the only two forms of communication by hearingC.Handshaking, as well as hand-stroking, has enabled the blind to communicate by hearingD.It is possible to communicate intelligently by hearing49.If a buyer wants to keep the return product, he/she simply()A.pays part of the shipping feeB.ignores the return shipping feeC.agrees on a reduced return amountD.pays the logistics service50.What does this article urge you to remember about driving after drinking ()A.You may be taken to court by the policeB.You may put yourself in dangerC.You may find your driving ability affectedD.You may put many other people at risk51.According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE()A.Bugs are more popular than other cars in AmericaB.Bugs are now produced in small quantityC.American feel proud if they can own a BugD.No Bugs have been shipped to America since 197752.What is the author’s attitude towards anticipating in listening comprehension()A.NeutralB.PositiveC.NegativeD.Critical53.Today, I felt terrible. My head was full of problems and confusion(暴乱).I decided to take a walk even though I didn’t know where to go. The most special thing happened when I was out for this walk.I saw an old man sitting on a chair. He was a seller of second-hand shoes. I thought he looked at least 70 years old.He seemed so tired and nobody was buying his shoes. I wanted to give him something but I had not brought anything with me.Then, a little girl came toward him. I heard the child say, Grandfather, may I polish your shoes? That old man took pity on her, smiled, and gave her a shoe to polish.The girl told him she needed money to buy her brother a new school uniform. Oh, little girl. Just stop doing this. Come with me and I will buy you a uniform. Then they walked to a market, and he bought her brother a uniform.The girl said thanks to him and left, leaving the old man smiling.He walked away from the market, but I stopped him. I whispered in his ear, You are a hero! Thank you for your kindness! As I walked away, I looked back and I could see him still smiling.I was blown away by the kindness I had just seen. Someone who had so little was so generous! Amazing! My own sadness had completely disappeared, chased away by the light of this kind act.I began realizing that I have a lot to be thankful for. I hope, some day, I can show my appreciation of what I have by following the example of the old man. He only had a little, but shared it so beautifully with someone who had nothing What did the girl need()A.A pair of new shoesB.A uniform for her brotherC.A uniform for herselfD.A pair of second-hand shoes六、作文题(1题)54.Directions: For this part, you are required to write a composition with at least 120 words on the topic On College Students'Establishing Their Own Business.

Then, when it gets warmer, the animal simply unfreezes and goes back to its normal life. Although this may sound like something from a science-fiction movie, it is exactly what happens to the wood frog over winter and spring. When winter begins, the frog, which is found throughout much of Canada, buries itself in leaves and dirt. As the ground begins to freeze, so does the frog’s body. Normally, if a living creature is frozen, the cells inside its body are destroyed, leading to death. How, then, does the wood frog survive? The secret lies in the fact that although the water between the cells in the frog’s body becomes frozen, the water inside the cells does not freeze. Before the winter begins, the frog stores starch in its body. As the weather gets colder, the drop in temperature causes the frog’s body to change this starch into glucose(葡萄糖). This glucose, in turn, lowers the temperature at which the liquid insidethe frog’s cells freezes. As a result, the cells do not freeze even at very low temperatures, allowing the frog to stay alive. Some wood frogs stay in this frozen state—with their hearts stopped completely—for months without harm. Now researchers are hoping to adapt the wood frog’s secret to help them preserve human organs for transplants. Currently, after organs are removed from a donor’s body, they are packed in a special liquid and kept very cold.However, they cannot be frozen because the ice would damage the cells in the organs. For this reason, the organs must be used quickly. If doctors had a way to preserve organs longer, they would have more time to find the best matches among people waiting for organ transplants.There is still a lot about the wood frog that scientists do not understand.They still have to work out, for example, exactly how the frog is able to unfreeze itself and what actually restarts the frog’s heart when the weather becomes warmer. What is clear, however, is that lessons learned by studying this tiny creature could be of great benefit to humans in the near futureThe wood frog is unusual because it()A.can move about easily on frozen groundB.buries itself in leaves and dirt at the start of springC.survives even after its body has become frozenD.lives a normal life even in very cold weather38.What’s the position of Yellowstone on cell phone use()A.SupportiveB.NeutralC.NegativeD.Doubtful39.One important factor that affects the correctness of the results is that ____()A.the old men tested may not have shown such cognitive declineB.people surveyed are all oldC.people taking part in this test came from all over the worldD.women live longer than men40.The faces of elderly, happily-married people sometimes resemble each other. Dr. Aiken studied a number of couples who had been married for at least twenty-five years. Each couple provided four photographs—one photo of each partner at the time of their marriage and another photo of each partner twenty five or more years later. The background was cut from the photos to remove any clues. The photos were then displayed in groups: a random grouping of the persons at the time of their marriage and another random grouping of the same persons who took photographs later. Some testees wereasked to pick out the partners. They failed totally with the first group. Their judgements were no better than chance. But with the photos taken twenty-five or more years after the marriage, the testees were quite successful with the most happily-married couples.Dr. Aiken believes there are several reasons why couples grow alike. One reason has something to do with imitation. One person tends to copy or do the same as someone else without knowing it. He says humans begin to imitatethe expressions of the faces of their loved ones. Another possible reason, he says, is the common experience of the couples. There is a tendency for people who have the same life experience to change their faces in similar ways. For example, if a couple have suffered from a lot of sad experiences, their faces are likely to change in a similar wayDr. Aiken cut the background from the photos for the purpose of ________()A.imitating the couples’ lifeB.grouping the couples againC.leaving no trace for the testeesD.giving the testees more chances41.The evidence shows that the strategy of practice testing()A.is a way to use flash cards to help studyB.is mainly used to help us remember wellC.helps know about students'grades in timeD.is a way widely used to increase memory42.What can we learn from the first paragraph()A.A dolphin is a special kind of fishB.Dolphins can’t swim very quicklyC.Dolphins can live only in the seaD.Dolphins produce their babies on land43.Which subject is supposed to have no direct value for job hunting()A.MathematicsB.EnglishC.Technical DrawingD.History六、作文题(1题)44.Directions: For this part, you are required to write a composition with at least 120 words on the topic On College Students'Establishing Their Own Business.

That this was so, it should be said, was to no small extent the fault of banks and bankers themselves. Banks used to be—and a few still are—forbidding structures. Behind the little barred windows were, more often than not, elderly gentlemen whose expression of friendliness reflected the size of the customer’s account, and nothing less than a few hundred thousand in the bank could have inspired the suggestion of a smile.And yet the average bank for many year was, to the average citizen, a fearful, if necessary, instrument for dealing with business—usually big business. But somewhere in the past quarter century, banks Began to grow human, even pleasant, and started to attract the little man. It is possible that this movement began in medium-sized towns, or in small towns where people know each other by their first names, and spread to big towns. At any rate, the results have been remarkable.The movement to “humanize” hanks, of course, received a big push during the war, when more and more women were employed to do work previously performed by men. Also more and more “little” people found themselves in need of personal loans, as taxes became heavier and as the practice of installment (分期付款) buying broke down the previously long—held concept that there was something almost morally wrong about being in debt. All sorts of people began to discover that the intelligent use of credit (信贷) could be extremely helpful.51.The author believes that the unfriendly atmosphere in banks many years ago was chiefly due to ________.A) the outer appearance of bank buildingsB) unfriendliness of customers toward banksC) economic pressure of the timeD) the attitude of hankers52.The banks of many years ago showed interest only in ________.A) regular visitorsB) rich customersC) friendly businessmenD) elderly gentlemen53.When did banks begin to grow human?A) Sometime before the war.B) A few years ago.C) During the war.D) In the last century.54.What helped to push the “humanization” of banks?A) More and more “little” people became customers of banks.B) The elderly gentlemen in banks were replaced by women.C) More banks were set up in small and medium-sized towns.D) The size of the customer’s account was greatly increased.55.Average People seldom borrowed money from bank in the bank because ________.A) the bank buildings looked forbiddingB) they were comparatively rich before the warC) they thought it was not proper to be in debtD) they rarely spent more than they could earnPassage TwoQuestions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage.Last summer, Transportation Secretary Elizabeth Dole announced a new rule: Unless states representing two-thirds of the country’s population pass compulsory (强制性的) seat-belt-use laws by April 1989, all new vehicles will have to be fitted with air bags or automatic seat belts.The rule wouldn’t have been necessary but for one simple fact. Even though seat belts could prevent nearly half of the deaths in fatal car accidents, 85 percent of the population simply won’t wear them.Why not? Behavioral engineers have found that there are all sorts of reasons—usually unstated. These are some of the most popular. It’s safer to be thrown from a car man trapped. According to E. Scott Geller, that’s afaulty argument. “In fact”, he says, “being thrown from a car is twenty-five times more dangerous than being trapped”.It won’t happen to me; I’m a good driver. But what about the other person who may be a terrible driver? The data show that the average incidence (发生率) for all accidents in one per driver every 10 years.My car will end up underwater or on fire, and I won’t be able to get out. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), only 0.5 percent of all injury-producing accidents occur under these conditions.“If you’re wearing a belt, you’ve got a better chance of being conscious and not having your legs broken—distinct advantages in getting out of a dangerous situation”.I’m only going a few blocks. Yet 80 percent of accidents happen at speeds or less that 25 miles per hour, 75 percent happen within 25 miles of home.56.Before 1989, in the United States ________.A) the use of seat belts was not compulsory for the majority of the populationB) a new law requiring the use of seat belts had just been passedC) people had to choose between the use of seat belts or the use of air bagsD) almost fifty percent of the people involved in car accidents were saved by seat Belts57.The word “trapped” (Para. 3, Line 3) means to be ________.A) held up in a traffic jamB) confined in the carC) caught in an accidentD) pulled into a car58.One of the reasons why many drivers refuse to wear seat belts is because________.A) they don’t think that it is comfortable to wear seat beltsB) they don’t believe that an accident involving a terrible driver is highly probableC) they believe that no danger is involved in just driving a few blocksD) they think that few drivers are willing to wear seat belts59.It can be inferred from the passage that ________.A) seat belts should be replaced by air bagsB) eighty-five percent of all drivers are likely to Break traffic rulesC) all drivers, whether good or bad, are liable to have an accident at one time or anotherD) wearing seat belts will get drivers out of dangerous situations60.The purpose of the writer in writing this passage is ________.A) to urge the government to pass the law soonerB) to tell how dangerous car-driving can beC) to criticise those who refuse to use seat beltsD) to prove the necessity of the new rulePassage ThreeQuestions 61 to 65 are based on the following passage.For well over 2000 years the world’s great religions have taught the virtues of a trusting heart. Now there is another reason to merit the wisdom of the ages: scientific evidence indicates that those with trusting hearts will live longer, healthier lives.As a result of the work published in the 1970s by two pioneering heart specialists, Meyer Friedman and Ray H. Rosenman, nearly every American is aware that blood Type. A people are impatient, and easily moved to hostility and anger. Many have come to believe that Type As are at a much higher risk of suffering heart attack or dying of heart disease than others.The driving force behind hostility is a cynical (愤世嫉俗) mistrust of others. If we expect others to mistreat us, we are seldom disappointed. This generates anger and leads us to respond with hostility.The most characteristic attitude of a cynic is being suspicious of the motives of people he doesn’t know. Imagine you are waiting for an elevator and it stops two floors above for longer than usual. How inconsiderate (不替别人着想的) You think. In a few seconds, you have drawn hostile conclusions about unseen people and their motives.Meanwhile, your cynical mistrust is leading to noticeable physical consequences. Your voice rises. The rate and depth of your breathing increases. Your heart is beating faster and harder, and the muscles of your arms and legs become tight. You feel “charged up”, ready for action.If you frequently experience these feelings, you may be at increased risk of developing serious health problems. Anger can add to the risk of heart and other diseases.61.According to the author, people with trusting hearts are ________.A) usually intelligent and wiseB) usually very religiousC) less likely to get heart diseasesD) not likely to be mistreated by others62.The book by Meyer Friedman and Ray H. Rosenman most probably discusses________.A) friendliness and hostilityB) trust and mistrust of peopleC) heart diseases and death rateD) people’s characters and their blood types63.According to the passage, if you have a fixed idea in mind that people will mistreat you, you will always find it ________.A) to be disappointingB) to be pleasingC) to be wrongD) to be so64.A cynic, in the passage, is a person ________.A) who is always ready to fightB) who usually has doubts about the people around himC) whose behaviour usually leads to serious health problemsD) whose behaviour usually seems strange to the people he knows65.The author’s intention in writing the passage is to ________.A) advise people to be patientB) analyze the danger of heart diseasesC) persuade people to be trustfulD) praise the wisdom of the old peopleShort Answer QuestionsDirections:In this part there is a short passage with five questions or incomplete statements. Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questionsor complete the statements in the fewest possible words (not exceeding 10 words.)For many women choosing whether to work or not to work outside their home is a luxury: they must work to survive. Others face a hard decision.Perhaps the easiest choice has to do with economics. One husband said, “Marge and I decided after careful consideration that for her to go back to work at this moment was an extravagance (奢侈) we couldn’t afford.” With two preschool children, it soon became clear in their figuring that withbabysitters (临时照看小孩的人), transportation, and increased taxes, rather than having more money, they might actually end up with less.Economic factors are usually the first to be considered, but they are not the most important. The most important aspects of the decision have to do with the emotional needs of each member of the family. It is in this area that husbands and wives find themselves having to face many confusing andconflicting feelings.There are many women who find that homemaking is boring or who feel imprisoned (被囚禁) if they have to stay home with a young child or several children. On the other hand, there are women who think that homemaking gives them the deepest satisfaction.From my own experience. I would like to suggest that sometime the decision to go back to work is made in too much haste. There are few decisions that I now regret more. I wasn’t mature enough to see how much I could have gained at home. I regret my impatience to get on with my career. I wish I had allowed myself the luxury of watching the world through my little girl’s eyes.66.Which word in the first tow paragraphs best explains why many women have to work?67.Why did Marge and her husband think it an extravagance for Marge to go back to work?68.What are the two major considerations in deciding whether women should go out to work?69.Some women would rather do housework and take care of their children than pursue a career because they feel ________.70.If given a second chance, the writer would probably choose to ________.Part IV Translation71. 他要她放弃工作在家照顾孩子,但是她觉得这个要求太过分了。

That this was so, it should be said, was to no small extent the fault of banks and bankers themselves. Banks used to be—and a few still are—forbidding structures. Behind the little barred windows were, more often than not, elderly gentlemen whose expression of friendliness reflected the size of the customer’s account, and nothing less than a few hundred thousand in the bank could have inspired the suggestion of a smile.And yet the average bank for many year was, to the average citizen, a fearful, if necessary, instrument for dealing with business—usually big business. But somewhere in the past quarter century, banks Began to grow human, even pleasant, and started to attract the little man. It is possible that this movement began in medium-sized towns, or in small towns where people know each other by their first names, and spread to big towns. At any rate, the results have been remarkable.The movement to “humanize” hanks, of course, received a big push during the war, when more and more women were employed to do work previously performed by men. Also more and more “little” people found themselves in need of personal loans, as taxes became heavier and as the practice of installment (分期付款) buying broke down the previously long—held concept that there was something almost morally wrong about being in debt. All sorts of people began to discover that the intelligent use of credit (信贷) could be extremely helpful.51.The author believes that the unfriendly atmosphere in banks many years ago was chiefly due to ________.A) the outer appearance of bank buildingsB) unfriendliness of customers toward banksC) economic pressure of the timeD) the attitude of hankers52.The banks of many years ago showed interest only in ________.A) regular visitorsB) rich customersC) friendly businessmenD) elderly gentlemen53.When did banks begin to grow human?A) Sometime before the war.B) A few years ago.C) During the war.D) In the last century.54.What helped to push the “humanization” of banks?A) More and more “little” people became customers of banks.B) The elderly gentlemen in banks were replaced by women.C) More banks were set up in small and medium-sized towns.D) The size of the customer’s account was greatly increased.55.Average People seldom borrowed money from bank in the bank because ________.A) the bank buildings looked forbiddingB) they were comparatively rich before the warC) they thought it was not proper to be in debtD) they rarely spent more than they could earnPassage TwoQuestions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage.Last summer, Transportation Secretary Elizabeth Dole announced a new rule: Unless states representing two-thirds of the country’s population pass compulsory (强制性的) seat-belt-use laws by April 1989, all new vehicles will have to be fitted with air bags or automatic seat belts.The rule wouldn’t have been necessary but for one simple fact. Even though seat belts could prevent nearly half of the deaths in fatal car accidents, 85 percent of the population simply won’t wear them.Why not? Behavioral engineers have found that there are all sorts of reasons —usually unstated. These are some of the most popular. It’s safer to be thrown from a car man trapped. According to E. Scott Geller, that’s a faulty argument. “In fact”, he says, “being thrown from a car is twenty-five times more dangerous than being trapped”.It won’t happen to me; I’m a good driver. But what about the other person who may be a terrible driver? The data show that the average incidence (发生率) for all accidents in one per driver every 10 years.My car will end up underwater or on fire, and I won’t be able to get out. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), only 0.5 percent of all injury-producing accidents occur under these conditions. “If you’re wearing a belt, you’ve got a better chance of being conscious and not having your legs broken —distinct advantages in getting out of a dangerous situation”.I’m only going a few blocks. Yet 80 percent of accidents happen at speeds or less that 25 miles per hour, 75 percent happen within 25 miles of home.56.Before 1989, in the United States ________.A) the use of seat belts was not compulsory for the majority of the populationB) a new law requiring the use of seat belts had just been passedC) people had to choose between the use of seat belts or the use of air bagsD) almost fifty percent of the people involved in car accidents were saved by seat Belts57.The word “trapped” (Para. 3, Line 3) means to be ________.A) held up in a traffic jamB) confined in the carC) caught in an accidentD) pulled into a car58.One of the reasons why many drivers refuse to wear seat belts is because ________.A) they don’t think that it is comfortable to wear seat beltsB) they don’t believe that an accident involving a terrible driver is highly probableC) they believe that no danger is involved in just driving a few blocksD) they think that few drivers are willing to wear seat belts59.It can be inferred from the passage that ________.A) seat belts should be replaced by air bagsB) eighty-five percent of all drivers are likely to Break traffic rulesC) all drivers, whether good or bad, are liable to have an accident at one time or anotherD) wearing seat belts will get drivers out of dangerous situations60.The purpose of the writer in writing this passage is ________.A) to urge the government to pass the law soonerB) to tell how dangerous car-driving can beC) to criticise those who refuse to use seat beltsD) to prove the necessity of the new rulePassage ThreeQuestions 61 to 65 are based on the following passage.For well over 2000 years the world’s great religions have taught the virtues of a trusting heart. Now there is another reason to merit the wisdom of the ages: scientific evidence indicates that those with trusting hearts will live longer, healthier lives.As a result of the work published in the 1970s by two pioneering heart specialists, Meyer Friedman and Ray H. Rosenman, nearly every American is aware that blood Type.A people are impatient, and easily moved to hostility and anger. Many have come to believe that Type As are at a much higher risk of suffering heart attack or dying of heart disease than others.The driving force behind hostility is a cynical (愤世嫉俗) mistrust of others. If we expect others to mistreat us, we are seldom disappointed. This generates anger and leads us to respond with hostility.The most characteristic attitude of a cynic is being suspicious of the motives of people he doesn’t know. Imagine you are waiting for an elevator and it stops two floors above for longer than usual. How inconsiderate (不替别人着想的) You think. In a few seconds, you have drawn hostile conclusions about unseen people and their motives.Meanwhile, your cynical mistrust is leading to noticeable physical consequences. Your voice rises. The rate and depth of your breathing increases. Your heart is beating faster and harder, and the muscles of your arms and legs become tight. You feel “charged up”, ready for action.If you frequently experience these feelings, you may be at increased risk of developing serious health problems. Anger can add to the risk of heart and other diseases.61.According to the author, people with trusting hearts are ________.A) usually intelligent and wiseB) usually very religiousC) less likely to get heart diseasesD) not likely to be mistreated by others62.The book by Meyer Friedman and Ray H. Rosenman most probably discusses ________.A) friendliness and hostilityB) trust and mistrust of peopleC) heart diseases and death rateD) people’s characters and their blood types63.According to the passage, if you have a fixed idea in mind that people will mistreat you, you will always find it ________.A) to be disappointingB) to be pleasingC) to be wrongD) to be so64.A cynic, in the passage, is a person ________.A) who is always ready to fightB) who usually has doubts about the people around himC) whose behaviour usually leads to serious health problemsD) whose behaviour usually seems strange to the people he knows65.The author’s intention in writing the passage is to ________.A) advise people to be patientB) analyze the danger of heart diseasesC) persuade people to be trustfulD) praise the wisdom of the old peopleShort Answer QuestionsDirections:In this part there is a short passage with five questions or incomplete statements. Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words (not exceeding 10 words.) For many women choosing whether to work or not to work outside their home is a luxury: they must work to survive. Others face a hard decision.Perhaps the easiest choice has to do with economics. One husband said, “Marge and I decided after careful consideration that for her to go back to work at this moment was an extravagance (奢侈) we couldn’t afford.” With two preschool children, it soon became clear in their figuring that with babysitters (临时照看小孩的人), transportation, and increased taxes, rather than having more money, they might actually end up with less.Economic factors are usually the first to be considered, but they are not the most important. The most important aspects of the decision have to do with the emotional needs of each member of the family. It is in this area that husbands and wives find themselves having to face many confusing and conflicting feelings.There are many women who find that homemaking is boring or who feel imprisoned (被囚禁) if they have to stay home with a young child or several children. On the other hand, there are women who think that homemaking gives them the deepest satisfaction.From my own experience. I would like to suggest that sometime the decision to go back to work is made in too much haste. There are few decisions that I now regret more. I wasn’t mature enough to see how much I could have gained at home. I regret my impatience to get on with my career. I wish I had allowed myself the luxury of watching the world through my little girl’s eyes.Questions:66.Which word in the first tow paragraphs best explains why many women have to work?67.Why did Marge and her husband think it an extravagance for Marge to go back to work?68.What are the two major considerations in deciding whether women should go out to work?69.Some women would rather do housework and take care of their children than pursuea career because they feel ________.70.If given a second chance, the writer would probably choose to ________.Part IV Translation71. 他要她放弃工作在家照顾孩子,但是她觉得这个要求太过分了。
