Reading Comprehension
Directions: There are four reading passages in this part. After reading each passage, you will find 5 questions or unfinished statements. For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked with A., B., C., and D. You should choose the most appropriate answer and write the letter in the corresponding space on the Answer Sheet. Questions 16 to 18 are based on the following passage. Most holidaymakers are not aware of the health risks they face abroad, even in the most popular destination, because official advice is not reaching them, according to a report from the Foreign Policy Center. The research by the European think-tank found only 9 percent of travelers could name a health threat on their trip, from sunburn to malaria, and only 2 percent of holidaymakers consult the Foreign Office before their departure. The failure to take necessary precautions abroad could lead to a serious situation which can be disastrous for both individual health and the global economy. The growing intensity and complexity of travel patterns means controlling health problems is becoming even more difficult. Recent outbreaks of SARS and bird flu in the Far East have shown that even relatively small outbreaks can have a great impact on countries’ economies and the travel industry. In 2002, Britons made 60 million trips abroad, and around 30-50 percent fell ill, though most cases were minor complaints such as sunburn. The ―Health Travel‖ report recommends major changes in the way travelers are advised about health abroad. Worldwide studies have shown that health officers often give inadequate travel health advice that is not up-to-date, many people assume they will be told about health risks and don’t realize they should seek advice themselves, and most brochures don’t contain any health information. The report suggested that instead of relying on the Foreign Office to give advice, travel agents, insurers, the media and guide books should all pass on health information. It said there should be more projects along the lines of the ―Know Before You Go‖ campaign which asks travel co mpanies to pass on Foreign Office’s advice to customers. But it said advisers should not be overly scrutinized (检查) in case they stopped publishing warnings, and travelers should be aware there is always an element of uncertainty in any health warning. Equally, the report said that too many warnings might mean tourists would stop paying attention to them. 16. Most tourists traveling in foreign countries have little knowledge of ________. A. the health problem on the trip B. the diseases they have developed

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A),B), C) and D, you should decide the best choice.Passage OneWhen we say that Cambridge is a university town we do not mean that it is a town with a university in it. A university town is one where there is no clear separation between the university buildings and the rest of the city. They university is not just one part of the town , it is all over the town. The heart of Cambridge has its shops, restaurants, market place and so on, but most of it is university staff and students.The town was there first Cambridge became a center of learning in the thirteenth century. Many students were too poor to afford lodgings. Colleges were opened so that students could live cheaply.This was the beginning of the present day college system.Today there are nearly thirty colleges. Very few students can now live in college for the whole of their course, the numbers are too great . Many of them live in lodgings at first and move into college for their final year. But every student is a member of his college form the beginning. He must eat a number of meals in the college hall each week.Students are not allowed to keep cars in Cambridge, so nearly all of them use bicycles. Don’t try to drive through Cambridge during the five minutes lectures, as you will find crowds of people on bicycles hurrying in all directions. If you are in Cambridge at five minutes to the hour any morning of the them, you’ll know that you are in a university town. Stop in some safe place , and wait.31. Cambridge can be described as university town because______.A. the university buildings fit in well with the rest of the townB. the size of Cambridge is just as big as the townC. the separation line between the university and the town is not obviousD. the university is located in the town32. In the first paragraph ―but most of it is university‖, ―it‖refers to______.A. the rest of the citB. the townC. the heart of CambridgeD. the university33. which of the following can best give the main idea of second paragraph?A. Cambridge has a long historyB. Many students lacked money ,so colleges were set up then .C. The town was built before the university.D. It was cheaper for students to live in college than in lodgings34. It is possible for the college students to______.A. live in college form the beginningB. keep bosh bikes and cars in collegeC. have all the meals outside the college each weekD. live in college for their final year of the week35. People found it hard to drive through Cambridge at five minutes to the hour in the morningbecause of_______.A. the large numbers to cars in the streetsB. safety checks for the cars at this timeC. streams of bikes going in all directionsD. the speed limit of the carPassage twoIf you want to stay young sit down and have a good think. This is the research finding of a team of Japanese doctors, who say that most our brains are not getting enough exercises–and as a result ,we are ageing unnecessarily soon.Professor Taiju Matsuzawa wanted to find out why otherwise healthy farmers in northern Japan appeared to be losing their ability to think and reason at a relatively early age ,and how the process of ageing could be slowed down.With a team a colleague at Tokyo National University, he set about measuring brain volumes of athousand people of different ages and varying occupations.―Computer technology enabled the researchers to obtain precise measurements of the volume of the front and side sections of the brain, which no late to intellect and emotion, and determine the human character.‖The rear section of the and brain, which controls functions like eating and breaking,does not contract with age, and on can continue living without intellectual or emotional facilities. Contraction of front and side parts – as cells die off – was observed in some subjects in their thirties, but it was still not evident in some sixty and seventy – year – olds.Matsuzawa concluded from his tests that there is simple remedy to contraction normally associated with age – using the head.The findings show in general terms that contraction of the brain begins sooner in people in the country that in the towns. Those least at risk, says Matsuzawa, are lawyers, followed by university professors and doctors. White collar workers doing routine work in government offices are, however,as likely to have shrinking brains as the farm workers, bus drivers and shop assistants.Matsuzawa’s findings show that thinking can prevent the brain from shrinking. Blood must circulate properly in the head to supply the fresh oxygen the brain cells says, ―The best way to maintain good blood circulation is through using brain,‖he says, ―Think hard and engage in conversation. Don’t rely on pocket calculators.‖36. The team of doctors wanted to find out _______ .A. how to make people live longerB. the size of certain people’s brainsC. which people are most intelligentD. why certain people age sooner than others37. On what are their research findings based?A. A survey of farmers in northern Japan.B. The study of brain volumes of different people.C. Tests performed on a thousand old people.D. The latest development of computer technology.38. The doctor’s tests show that ______ .A. our brains shrink as we grow olderB. the front section of the brain does not shrinkC. sixty – year – olds have better brains than thirty – year – oldsD. some people’s brains have contracted more than other people39. The word ―subjects‖in the sentence of paragraph 5 ―Contraction of front and side parts –as cells die off –was observed in some subjects in their thirties, but it was still not evident some sixty and seventy –year –olds.‖Means _______.A. something to be consideredB. branches of knowledge studiedC. any member a state except the supreme rulerD. persons chosen to be studied in experiment40. According to the passage, which people seem to age slower than others.A. shop assistants, lawyers, and professorB. Farmers, doctors and farmersC. Clerks, professor and farmersD. Lawyers, professor and doctorsPassage ThreeWhen we turn on a tap get water, or press a switch to get electricity, we do not think of all the pipes and wires which bring these main services to our homes.The water is brought from the waterworks to each street by a large underground pipe- a water in this pips is then forced by pressure into the smaller pipes which carry it to storage thanks at tops of the buildings. Other pipes bring the water down from the storage tank to the kitchens and bathrooms in the building.When the water has been used, it is taken away from the building by drainpipes. These take the waster water to another large pipe under road –the main sewer. The waster then flows along the sewer to the sewage works where it is cleaned. This ―clean‖water is then poured into the sea or into a river, or in some countries, sent back to the waterworks to be again.Electricity is also brought to the house by a main, in this case a cable. This cable may be underground or , in country districts, it may hang above ground on pylons. The cable is connected to a meter in the building. Near the meter there is a master which can cut off the supply of electricity.There are also fuse boxes when the master switch and the wires which take the electricity to each of the switches in the building . All these wires, fuses and switches are the ―wiring circuit‖.41.It can be inferred form this passage that _______.A. water and electricity are the only main services in our housesB. the pipes bringing water to our homes are unimportantC. water is less significant than electricity in our homesD. we are unaware of how water or electricity is brought to our homes42.We call water ,electricity and sewer_______.A. wiring circuitB. pipes, cables and drainsC. main servicesD. underground services43.How is clean water brought to our homes?A.

Between a main cable and the master switch in our homes is_______.A. a light switchB. a pylonC. a fuse boxD. a meterPassage FourHow men first learned to invent words is unknown; in order words, the origin of language is a mystery . All we really know is that men, unlike animals, invented certain sound to express thoughts and feelings, actions and things, so that they could communicate with each other, and later they agree on certain sings. There sings were called letters, which could be combined to represent those sounds and could be written down. Those sounds, whether spoken or written in letter, and called words.The power of words, then, exists in their associations—the things they bring up before our minds .Words become filled with meaning for us by experience, and the longer we live ,the more certain words remind us of the glad and sad events of our past ,and the more number of words increases.Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which deeply attract our minds and emotions. This skillful use of words is called―literary style‖.Above all, a real poet can express should, therefore, learn to choose ours words carefully and use them properly, or they will make our speech silly and vulgar.46.The origin of language is ______A. treasure handed down form the pastB. a matter that is hidden or secretC. a problem not yet solvedD. a question difficult to answer47. One of the reasons why men in invented certain sounds to express thoughts and actions was that_______.A. they could write them downB. they could agree on certain singsC. they could communicate with each otherD. they could combine them48. which of the following is true about words ?A.

Part I Reading Comprehension (40﹪，35minutes)Directions: In this part there are four passages. Each passage is followed by a number ofcomprehension questions. Read the passage and answer the questions. Then mark your answer byblackening the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage 1Human feelings are affected by color unconsciously. Manufacturers have discovered by trial and error that sugar sells badly in green wrappings, that blue foods are considered by consumers as tasteless, and that cosmetics should never be packaged in brown. These discoveries have grown into a whole discipline of color psychology. Some of our preferences are clearly psychological. Dark blue is the color of the night sky and therefore associated with calm, while yellow is a key color in association with energy. For primitive men. activity during the day meant bunting and attacking, in which he soon saw as red, the color of blood and hunting and fire. So it was natural that green, the complementary color to red, should be associated with passive defense. Experiments have shown that colors also have a direct psychological effect. People, when exposed to bright red. show an increase in breathing rate. heart beat and blood pressure. Red is exciting. Similar exposure to pure blue has exactly the opposite effect, because it is a calming color. Because red has an implication of excitement, it is chosen as the signal for danger. Some analyses show that a vivid yellow can produce a more basic state of alertness and alarm. So fire engines and ambulances in some advanced countries are now rushing around in bright yellow colors that stop traffic dead.1. If people are exposed to red, which of the following statements does NOT happen?A. They feel afraid.B. They breathe faster.C. Their blood pressure rises.D. Their hearts beat faster.2. Manufacturers have discovered the secret of colors in marketing ____.A. by experimenting with different colorsB. by developing the discipline of color psychologyC. by trying not to make mistakesD. by accumulating their variousexperiences3. Which of the following is NOT true?A. Our feelings about certain colors are purely psychological.B. Food should never be packaged in brown.C. Sugar sells badly in green wrappings,D. Color probably has an effect on us which we are not conscious of.4. Our preferences for certain colors are ____.A. dependent on our characterB. linked with the primitive menC. associated with psychologyD. associated with the time of the day5. The passage is about ____.A. color and traffic accidentsB. color and manufacturersC. which color might influence human feelingsD. why color affects human emotions and behaviorPassage 2Exchange a glance with someone, and then look away. Do you realize that you have made a statement? Hold the glance for a second longer, and you have made a different statement. Hold it for three seconds, and the meaning has changed again. For every social situation, there is permissible time that you can hold a person's gaze without being intimate, rude, or aggressive. If you are on an elevator, what gaze-time are you permitted? To answer this question, consider what you typically do. You are very likely give other passengers a quick glance to size them up(打量) and to assure them that you mean no threat. Since being close to another person signals the possibility of interaction, you need to emit a signal telling others you want to be left alone. So you cut off eye contact, which sociologist Erving Goffman ( 1963 ) calls "a dimming of the lights". You look down at the floor, at the indicator lights, anywhere but into another passenger's eyes. Should you break the rule against staring at a stranger on an elevator, you will make the other person exceedingly uncomfortable, and you are likely to feel a bit strange yourself.If you hold eye contact for more than three seconds, what are you telling another person? Much depends on the person and the situation. For instance, a man and a woman communicate interest in this manner. They typically gaze at each other for about three seconds at a time, and then drop their eyes down for three seconds, before letting their eyes meet again. But if one man gives another man a three-second-plus stare, he signals- "I know you." "I am interested in you." or "You look peculiar and I am curious about you." This type of stare often produces hostile feelings.6. It can be inferred from the first paragraph that ____.A. every glance has its significanceB. staring at a person is an expression of interestC. a gaze longer than three seconds is unacceptableD. a glance conveys more meaning than words7. If you want to be left alone on an elevator, the best thing to do is ____.A. to look into another passenger's eyesB. to avoid eye contact with other passengersC. to signal you are nor a threat to anyoneD. to keep a distance from other passengers8. By "a dimming of the lights"(Line 9. Para l ). Erving Goffman means"____"A. closing one's eyesB. turning off the lightsC. ceasing to glance at othersD. reducing gaze-time to the minimum9. If one is looked at by a stranger for too tong, he tends to feel ____.A. depressedB. curiousC. uneasyD. amused10. The passage mainly discusses ____.A. the limitations of eye contactB. the exchange of ideas through eye contactC. proper behavior in various situationsD. the role of eye contact in interpersonal communicationPassage 3Cyclo-cross is a cross-country bicycle racing in open and usually quite rough country with riders often forced to dismount and carry their bicycles.The sport, originated early in the 20th century in France. was prevalent in the 1920s, but became prominent in the 1950s ( the British Cyclo-Cross Association was founded in 1954). An original European sport, cyclo-cross became popular throughout Western Europe and in the United States. World championships were initiated in 1925 ; by 1950 these were recognized by the Union Cyclist International(International Cyclists' Union). After 1967 amateur and professional classes were officially separated in competition.The 24-kilometer cyclo-cross course, often involving taps, is usually completed in 60 minutes. A course typically includes obstacles such as ditches, mud, fallen trees, streams, flight of stairs, fences, and gates; artificial hurdles are added to insufficiently challenging natural courses. Cyclo-cross races are usually held from September to March, adding winter weather hazards to the challenge.There is a massed start with the field assembling not more than two abreast. Helpers are often stationed around the course with spare bicycles in case the original machine encounters mechanical difficulties or becomes too weighted down by mud picked up to the course.11. What does the word "dismount" in Paragraph One mean?A. Give upB. Give inC. Get ourD. Get off.12. According ro the passage, which of the following is NOT true aboutcyclo-cross?A. The cyclists sometimes have to carry the bicycles instead of riding them.B. The riders in the race are arranged side by side in two lines.C. All the riders start simultaneously on the starting line.D. The riders are allowed to change their machines,13. Cyclo-cross became widely known ____.A. in the 1920sB. in the 1950sC. in 1925D. in 196714. According to the passage, cyclo-cross races are usually held from September to March because ____.A. A. the winter is westerners' favorite seasonB. winter can offer cyclists more risk and dangerC. the winter weather is more agreeableD. in winter the riders needn't dismount and carry their bicycle15. Which of the following statements can you infer from the passage?A. The riders are competitive and fond of taking risks.B. People except the riders show little interest in cyclo-cross.C. Before 1967, amateur and professional classes had never been separated in competition.D. Helpers are often hired by the riders.Passage 4In the second half of each year. many powerful storms are born in the tropical Atlantic and Caribbean seas. Of these, only about half a dozen generate the strong, circling winds of75 miles per hour or more that give them hurricane status, and several usually make their way to the coast. There they cause millions of dollars of damage, and bring death to large numbers of people.The great storms that hit the coast start as innocent circling disturbances hundreds even thousands of miles out to sea. They travel aimlessly over water warmed by the trade winds. When conditions are just right, warm moist air flows in at the bottom of such a disturbance, moves upward through it and comes out at the top. In the process, the moisture in this warm air produces rain, and with it the heat is converted to energy in the form of strong winds. As the heat increases, the young hurricane begins to swirl in a counterclockwise motion.The average life of a hurricane is only about nine days, but it contains almost more power than we can imagine. The energy in the heat released by a hurricane's rainfall in a single day would satisfy the entire electrical needs of the United States for more than six months. Water, not wind, is the main source of death and destruction in a hurricane. A typical hurricane brings 6 to 12 inch downpours resulting in sudden floods. Worst of all is the powerful movement of the sea-mountains of water moving toward the low-pressure hurricane center. The water level rises as much as 15 feet above normal as it moves toward shore.16. When is an ordinary tropical storm considered to be a hurricane?A. When il begins in the Atlantic and Caribbean seas.B. When it hits the coastline.C. When its winds reach 75 miles per hour or even more.D. When the circling winds bring damages.17. What is the worst thing about hurricanes?A. The destructive effects of water.B. The heat they release.C. That they last about nine days on the average.D. Their strong winds.18. The counterclockwise swirling of the hurricane is brought about by ____.A. the low-pressure area in the center of the stormB. the force of waves of waterC. the trade windsD. the increasing heat19. Apparently the phrase "innocent circling disturbances" in Paragraph Two means ____.A. disturbances caused by innocent peopleB. disturbances people are innocent ofC. damaging circling windsD. harmless circling winds20. Which of the following best summarizes the passage?A. The Hurricane-Its Harms and Benefits.B. The Benefits of Hurricanes.C. The Hurricane and Its Great Energy.D. The Disaster Caused by Hurricanes.PartⅡ Vocabulary and Structure(40﹪，20minutes)Directions: There are 40 incomplete sentences in this part.

For this was what the notice just inside the entrance promised. It said:“Remember, once a week, one of our customers gets free goods. This May Be Your Lucky Day!”For several weeks Mrs. Edwards hoped, lide many of her friends, to be the lucky customer. Unlike her friends, she never gave up hoping. The cupboards in kitchen were full of things which she did not need. Her husband tried to advise her against buying things but failed. She dreamed ofthe day when the manager of the supermarket would approach her and say:“Madam, this is Your Lucky Day. Everything in your basket is free.”One Friday morning, after she had finished her shopping and had taken it to her car, she found that she had forgotten to buy any tea. She dashed back to the supermarket, got the tea and went towards the cash-desk.. As she did so, she saw the manager of the supermarket approach her.“Madam,” he said, holding out his hand,“I want to congratulate you! You are our luck y customer and everything you have in your basket is free!”51.The housewives learnt about the offer of free goods .A. on TVB. from the managerC. at the supermarketD. from the newspaper52.Mrs.Edwards .A. is always very luckyB. had no friendsC. hoped to get free shoppingD. gets disappointed easily53.Mrs.Edwards’s husband tried to .A. make her unhappyB. cheer her upC. buy things with herD. stop her buying things54.Mrs.Edwards went back to the supermarket quickly because she had to .A. buy another thingB. talk to the managerC. pay for her shoppingD. find her shopping55.Mrs.Edwards must have been .A. pleasedB. delightedC. proudD. disappointedPassage TwoGenerations of Americans have been brought up to believe that a good breakfast is one life’s essentials. Eating breakfast at the start of the day ,we have all been told , and told again, is as necessary as putting gasoline in the family car before starting a trip.But for many people the thought of food first thing in the morning is by no means a pleasure. So despite all the efforts, they still take no breakfast. Between 1977 and 1983, the latest year for which figures are available, the numb er of people who didn’t have breakfast, increased by 33 percent.For those who feel pain of guilt about not eating breakfast , however, there is some good news. Several studies in the last few years indicate that , for adults especially, there may be nothing wrong with omitting breakfast.“Going without breakfast does not affect performance,”said Arrold E. Bender, former professor of the nutrition at Queen Elizabeth College in London, “nor does giving people breakfast improve performance.”Scientific evidence linking breakfast to better health or better performance is surprisingly inadequate, and most of the recent work involves children , not adults,“The literature”, says one reaearcher , Dr, Erresto at the University of Texas ,“is poor”.56. The latest year for which figures could be obtained is .A. the year the author wrote the articleB.1997C. any year between 1977 and 1983D.198357.For those who do not take breakfast ,the good news is that .A .several studies have been done in the past few yearsB. the omission of breakfast does no harm to one’s healtyC. adults have especially made studies in this fieldD. eating little in the morning is good for health58.“… nor does giving people breakfast improve performance”means .A. anyone without breakfast does improve his performanceB. not giving people breakfast improve performanceC. having breakfast does not improve performance, eitherD. people having breakfast do improve their performance59.The wore “literature”in the last sentence refers to .A. stories , poems, play, etc .B. written works on a particular subjectC. any printed materialD. the moden literature of America60.What is implied but NOT stated by the author is that .A. breakfast does not affect performanceB. Dr. Erresto is engaged in research work at an institution of higher learningC. not eating breakfast might affect the health of childrenD. Professor Bender once taught college courses in nutrition in LondonPassage ThreeBanks are not ordinarily prepared to pay out all accounts; they rely on depositors(储户) not to demand payment all at the same time .If depositors should come to fear might cause all the depositors to appear on the same day .If they did ,the band could not pay all accounts. However, if they did not all appear at once, then there would always be enough money to pay those who wanted their money when they wanted it .Mrs. Elsie V aught has told us of a terrifying bank run that she experienced .One day in December of 1925 several banks failed to open in a city where Mrs. Vaught lived. The other banks expected a run the next day, and so the officers of the bank in which Mrs. Vaught worked as a teller had enough money on hand to pay off their depositors. The officers simply told the tellers to pay on demand. The next morning a crowd gathered in the bank and on the sidewalk outside. The length of the line made many think that the bank could not possibly pay off everyone .People began to push and then to fight for places near the tellers’ windows. The power of the panic atmosphere was such that two tellers, though they knew that the bank was quite all right and could pay all depositors, drew their own miney from the bank. Mrs. Vaught says that she had difficulty keeping herself from doing the same.61.A bank run happens when_____.A. a book is closed for one or more days.B. too many depositors try to draw out their money at one timeC. there is not enough money to pay all its depositors at one timeD. tellers of a bank take their own money from the bank62. The tellers in Mrs. Vaught’s bank were told to_____.A. explain why they could not pat out all accountsB. pay out accounts as requestedC. make the depositors believe that the bank was standD. pay out money as slowly as possible63. The main cause of a bank run is____.A. loss of confidenceB. lack of moneyC. crowds of peopleD. inexperienced tellers64. Which of the following did Mrs. Vaught say?A. She knew that the bank was not sound.B. She feared that too many depositors drawing their money would close the bank..C. She was not able to draw out her money.D. She was tempted to draw out her money.65. According to the passage ,the actions of the depositors of Mrs. Vaught’s bank were affected mainly by the ____.A. ease with which they could get their moneyB. confidence that Mrs. Vaught showedC. failure of several other banks to openD. confidence shown by other depositors of the bankPassage FourThe energy which the sun radiates goes in every direction ,and only a minute part of it falls on the earth .Even so , it represents power of about 5,000,000 horsepower(马力)per square mile per day ;the sun gives us as much energy every minute as mankind utilizes in a year .At present , we use this energy indirectly , and it is our final source of power . Coal represents the chemical action of the sun on green plants thousands of years ago . Water power results from the rain formed by vapor which comes from the evaporation of water under the sunshine . Even windmills operate because of air currents set in motion by the different heating effects of the sun in different places . Some day ,through chemistry or some type of solar engine , we shall harness this great source of energy more directly . Already a scientist has worked out an engine , surprisingly efficient , in which the sun’s rays are concentrated through mirrors on a rube of water to create steam .66. How much energy given off by the sun reaches the earth?A.100% but indirectlyB.5%C. 50%D. only a very tiny amount67. The reason why all the solar energy falling on the earth can’t be utilized is that ____.A. only a very small part is availableB. the sun is too distant from the earthC. it takes thousands if years for this energy to be stored up in coal and oilD. our scientific knowledge is not sufficient68. Which of the following statements is NOT true ?A. Even windmill’s action depends on the sunB. The sun produces enormous energy for man to make use of ..C. Some day man will be able to utilize 100% of the solar energy that gets to the earth.D. The sun produces different heating effects in different places.69. In order to support this argument , the writer gives the example that____.A. a machine using solar energy efficiently has already been developedB. the sun is our final source of powerC. man uses only a tiny part of the sun’s energyD. the part of the sun’s energy we use is used indirectly70. This passage centers mainly on_____.A. harnessing energy through chemistryB. our last source of powerC. how water power is producedD. the amount of solar energy that can be utilizedPart V Cloze (20points)Directions : There are 20 blanks in the following passage . For each blank there are four choices marked A , B , C and D below the passage . You should choose the one that best fits into the passage . Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer with single line through the center .From childhood to old age , we all use language as a means of broadening our knowledge of ourselves and the world about us . When humans first 71 , they were like newborn children ,unable to use this 72 tool .Yet once language developed , the possibilities for human kind’s future 73 and cultural growth increased .Many linguists believe that evolution is 74 for our ability to produce and use language . They 75 that our highly evolved brain provides us 76 an innate language ability not found in lower 77 . Proponents of this innateness theory say that our 78 for language is inborn ,but that language itself develops gradually , 79 a function of the growth of the brain during childhood . Therefore there are critical 80 times for language development .Current 81 of innateness theory are mixed ,however ,evidence supporting the existence of some innate abilities is undeniable . 82 , more and more schools are discovering that foreign languages are best taught in 83 grades . Young children often can learning several language by being 84 to them ,while adults have a much harder time learning another language once the 85 of their first language have become firmly fixed .86 some aspects of language are undeniable innate ,language dose not develop automatically in a vacuum . Children who have been 87 from other human beings do not possess language . This demonstrates that 88 with other human beings is necessary for proper language development . Some linguists believe that this is even more basic to human language 89 than any innate capacities . These theorists view language as imitative, learned behavior . 90 ,children learnlanguage from their parents by imitating them. Parents gradually shape their child’s language skills by positively reinforcing precise imitations and negatively reinforcing imprecise ones.71. A. generated B. evolved C. born D. originated72.

Family ViolencePassage T woDuring the Christmas shopping rush in London, the interesting story was reported of a tramp (流浪者) who, apparently though no fault of his own, found himself locked in a well-known chain store late on Christmas Eve. No doubt the store was crowded with last-minute Christmas shoppers and the staff were dead beat and longing to get home. Probably all the proper security checks were made before the store was locked and they left to enjoy the three-day holiday untroubled by customers desperate to get last-minute Christmas presents.However ridiculous that may be, our tramp found himself alone in the store and decided to make the best of it. There was food, drink, bedding and camping equipment, of which he made good use. There must also have been television sets and radios. Though it was not reported if he took advantage of these facilities, when the shop reopened he was discovered in bed with a large number of empty bottles beside him. He seems to have been a man of good humor as indeed tramps very commonly are.Everyone else was enjoying Christmas, so he saw no good reason why he should not do the same. He yielded himself cheerfully, and was taken by the police. Perhaps he had had a better Christmas than usual. He was sent to prison for seven days. Tile judge awarded no compensation (赔偿) to the chain store for the food and drink our tramp had consumed. They had, in his opinion, already received valuable free public ity from the story revealed in the newspaper and on television Perhaps the judge had a good Christmas, too.36. The tramp was locked in the store ______.A. for 7 daysB. on purposeC. by accidentD. for security reasons37. It can be inferred from the passage that the underlined phrase "dead beat" in paragraph I means ______.A. angryB. exhaustedC. forgetfulD. careless38. Which of the following was uncertain about the tramp after he was locked in the store?A. He watched TV.B. He was well fed.C. He had a sound sleep.D. He had a good drink.39. When the tramp was arrested, he ______.A. was drunkB. felt he deserved itC. made no resistanceD. felt himself wronged40. The judge didn't award compensation to the chain store because ______.A. the store was responsible for what happenedB. the report of the event benefited the store a lotC. the tramp had stolen nothing of valueD. the tramp was pennilessPassage ThreeIf you want to stay young, sit down and have a good think. This is the research result of Professor Faulkner, who says that most of our brains are not getting enough exercise and as a result, we are ageing unnecessarily soon.Professor Faulkner wanted to find out why healthy farmers in northern Japan appeared to be losing their ability to think and to reason at a relatively early age, and how the process of ageing could be slowed down.He set about measuring brain volumes of a thousand people of different ages and occupations.Computer technology enabled him to obtain precise measurements of the volume of the front andside sections of the brain, which relate to intelligence and emotion, and determine the human character.Contraction of front and side parts--as cells die off--was observed in some subjects in their thirties, but it was still not evident in some sixty-and seventy-year-olds.Faulkner concluded from his tests that there is a simple way to slow the contraction--using the head.The findings show that contraction of the brain begins sooner in people in the country than in the towns. Those least at risk, says Faulkner, are lawyers, followed by university professors and doctors. White-collar workers doing routine work are, however, as likely to have shrinking brains as the farm worker, bus driver and shop assistant.Faulkner's findings show that thinking can prevent the brain from shrinking. Blood must circulate properly in the head to supply the fresh oxygen the brain cells need. "The best way to maintain good blood circulation is through using the brain," he says. "Think hard and engage in conversstion, Don't rely on pocket calculators."41. Professor Faulkner wanted to find out ______.A. how people's brains shrinkB. the way of making people live longerC. the size of certain people's brainsD. why certain people aged sooner than others42. Faulkner's research findings are based on______.A. a survey of farmers in northern JapanB. tests performed on a thousand old peopleC. the study of brain volumes of different peopleD. the latest development of computer technology43. The professor's tests show that ______.A. our brains shrink as we grow oldB. the front section of the brain does not shrinkC. seventy-year-olds have better brains than sixty-year-oldsD. brain contraction may vary among people of the same age44. The underlined word "subjects" in paragraph 5 means ______.A. branches of knowledge studied in a schoolB. something to be consideredC. persons experimented onD. citizens in a country45. According to the passage, which group of people seem to age slower than the others?A. Farmers.B. Lawyers.C. Clerks.D. Shop assistants.Passage FourNews has just been received of an air crash in the north of England. The plane, which was on a charter (包租)flight from London to Carlisle, was carrying a party of businessmen on their way to a trade fair. It seems likely that the plane ran into a heavy fog as it was approaching Carlisle and was obliged to circle for some twenty minutes. Everything seemed to be going well. The pilot was in constant radio communication with Ground Control when the engines suddenly cut out and all contact was lost. The plane crashed on the site of the ancient Roman camp at Hadrin' s Hill, a place well known to archaeologists (考古学家) and tourists.So far few details have been reported, but it is feared that at least twenty people lost their lives, among them the pilot, who was killed instantly. The local ambulances and firemen were on the scene within minutes of the crash, but additional help had to be rushed from other areas.Mr. Lesilie Collins, one of the survivors, told our reporter, "We passengers noticed the engines were making a funny noise. Of course we couldn't see anything because of the fog, but the pilot said there was nothing to worry about. The next thing we know, the engines went dead. There was a rushing noise--and after that I don’t remember any more."Mr. Collins is now in hospital, being treated for minor injuries. We will be bringing you further news of the crash as we receive it. In the meantime relatives are asked to ring 02-3457211 for information.46.

Students work on their own at home, at work, or at school and communicate with faculty and other students by means of e-mail, electronic meetings, videoconferencing, chat rooms, instant messaging and other forms of computer-based communication.

Sometimes the messages can be overwhelming for many online students.Universities, colleges and schools use online distance learning environments. These are important for students who may be unable to attend classes for various reasons like illnesses or busy everyday schedules. Some learners just want to further their studies at home. They enjoy the convenience of home learning as they take regular programs or enrichment classes.Online courses keep learner very occupied at all hours of the day. There are a great many messages and other online resources to read .and respond to. Most learners have regular jobs or attend regular school classes on ground as well. However, the benefits are clear. Online distance learning is becoming very popular. Some online classes have become a profitable business as they replace regular traditional means of learning.51. Which of the following is TRUE of the passage about online distance learning?A. It has more disadvantages than advantages.B. It is a learning form based on internet.C. It is not available for some students.D. It has only enrichment classes.52.

For this was what the notice just inside the entrance promised. It said:“Remember, once a week, one of our customers gets free goods. This May Be Your Lucky Day!”For several weeks Mrs. Edwards hoped, lide many of her friends, to be the lucky customer. Unlike her friends, she never gave up hoping. The cupboards in kitchen were full of things which she did not need. Her husband tried to advise her against buying things but failed. She dreamed of the day when the manager of the supermarket would approach her and say:“Mada m, this is Your Lucky Day. Everything in your basket is free.”One Friday morning, after she had finished her shopping and had taken it to her car, she found that she had forgotten to buy any tea. She dashed back to the supermarket, got the tea and went towards the cash-desk.. As she did so, she saw the manager of the supermarket approach her.“Madam,” he said, holding out his hand,“I want to congratulate you! You are our lucky customer and everything you have in your basket is free!”51.The housewives learnt about the offer of free goods .A. on TVB. from the managerC. at the supermarketD. from the newspaper52.Mrs.Edwards .A. is always very luckyB. had no friendsC. hoped to get free shoppingD. gets disappointed easily53.Mrs.Edwards’s husband tried to .A. make her unhappyB. cheer her upC. buy things with herD. stop her buying things54.Mrs.Edwards went back to the supermarket quickly because she had to .A. buy another thingB. talk to the managerC. pay for her shoppingD. find her shopping55.Mrs.Edwards must have been .A. pleasedB. delightedC. proudD. disappointedPassage TwoGenerations of Americans have been brought up to believe that a good breakfast is one life’s essentials. Eating breakfast at the start of the day ,we have all been told , and told again, is as necessary as putting gasoline in the family car before starting a trip.But for many people the thought of food first thing in the morning is by no means a pleasure. So despite all the efforts, they still take no breakfast. Between 1977 and 1983, the latest year for which figures are available, the number of people who didn’t have breakfast, increased by 33 percent.For those who feel pain of guilt about not eating breakfast , however, there is some good news. Several studies in the last few years indicate that , for adults especially, there may be nothing wrong with omitting breakfast.“Going without breakfast does not affect performance,”said Arrold E. Bender, former professor of the nutrition at Queen Elizabeth College in London, “nor does giving people breakfast improve performance.”Scientific evidence linking breakfast to better health or better performance is surprisingly inadequate, and most of the recent work involves children , not adults,“The literature”, says one reaearcher , Dr, Erresto at the University of Texas ,“is poor”.56. The latest year for which figures could be obtained is .A. the year the author wrote the articleB.1997C. any year between 1977 and 1983D.198357.For those who do not take breakfast ,the good news is that .A .several studies have been done in the past few yearsB. the omission of breakfast does no harm to one’s healtyC. adults have especially made studies in this fieldD. eating little in the morning is good for health58.“… nor does giving people breakfast improve performance”means .A. anyone without breakfast does improve his performanceB. not giving people breakfast improve performanceC. having breakfast does not improve performance, eitherD. people having breakfast do improve their performance59.The wore “literature”in the last sentence refer s to .A. stories , poems, play, etc .B. written works on a particular subjectC. any printed materialD. the moden literature of America60.What is implied but NOT stated by the author is that .A. breakfast does not affect performanceB. Dr. Erresto is engaged in research work at an institution of higher learningC. not eating breakfast might affect the health of childrenD. Professor Bender once taught college courses in nutrition in LondonPassage ThreeBanks are not ordinarily prepared to pay out all accounts; they rely on depositors(储户) not to demand payment all at the same time .If depositors should come to fear might cause all the depositors to appear on the same day .If they did ,the band could not pay all accounts. However, if they did not all appear at once, then there would always be enough money to pay those who wanted their money when they wanted it .Mrs. Elsie Vaught has told us of a terrifying bank run that she experienced .One day in December of 1925 several banks failed to open in a city where Mrs. Vaught lived. The other banks expected a run the next day, and so the officers of the bank in which Mrs. Vaught worked as a teller had enough money on hand to pay off their depositors. The officers simply told the tellers to pay on demand. The next morning a crowd gathered in the bank and on the sidewalk outside. The length of the line made many think that the bank could not possibly pay off everyone .People began to push and then to fight for places near the tellers’ windows. The power of the panic atmosphere was such that two tellers, though they knew that the bank was quite all right and could pay all depositors, drew their own miney from the bank. Mrs. Vaught says that she had difficulty keeping herself from doing the same.61.A bank run happens when_____.A. a book is closed for one or more days.B. too many depositors try to draw out their money at one timeC. there is not enough money to pay all its depositors at one timeD. tellers of a bank take their own money from the bank62.

She knew that the bank was not sound.B. She feared that too many depositors drawing their money would close the bank..C. She was not able to draw out her money.D. She was tempted to draw out her money.65. According to the passage ,the actions of the depositors of Mrs. Vaught’s bank were affected mainly by the ____.A. ease with which they could get their moneyB. confidence that Mrs. Vaught showedC. failure of several other banks to openD. confidence shown by other depositors of the bankPassage FourThe energy which the sun radiates goes in every direction ,and only a minute part of it falls on the earth .Even so , it represents power of about 5,000,000 horsepower(马力)per square mile per day ;the sun gives us as much energy every minute as mankind utilizes in a year .At present , we use this energy indirectly , and it is our final source of power . Coal represents the chemical action of the sun on green plants thousands of years ago . Water power results from the rain formed by vapor which comes from the evaporation of water under the sunshine . Even windmills operate because of air currents set in motion by the different heating effects of the sun in different places . Some day ,through chemistry or some type of solar engine , we shall harness this great source of energy more directly . Already a scientist has worked out an engine , surprisingly efficient , in which the sun’s rays are concentrated through mi rrors on a rube of water to create steam .66. How much energy given off by the sun reaches the earth?A.100% but indirectlyB.5%C. 50%D. only a very tiny amount67. The reason why all the solar energy falling on the ea rth can’t be utilized is that ____.A. only a very small part is availableB. the sun is too distant from the earthC. it takes thousands if years for this energy to be stored up in coal and oilD. our scientific knowledge is not sufficient68. Which of the following statements is NOT true ?A. Even windmill’s action depends on the sunB. The sun produces enormous energy for man to make use of ..C. Some day man will be able to utilize 100% of the solar energy that gets to the earth.D. The sun produces different heating effects in different places.69. In order to support this argument , the writer gives the example that____.A. a machine using solar energy efficiently has already been developedB. the sun is our final source of powerC. man uses only a tiny part of the sun’s energyD. the part of the sun’s energy we use is used indirectly70. This passage centers mainly on_____.A. harnessing energy through chemistryB. our last source of powerC. how water power is producedD. the amount of solar energy that can be utilizedPart V Cloze (20points)Directions : There are 20 blanks in the following passage . For each blank there are four choices marked A , B , C and D below the passage . You should choose the one that best fits into the passage . Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer with single line through the center .From childhood to old age , we all use language as a means of broadening our knowledge of ourselves and the world about us . When humans first 71 , they were like newborn children ,unable to use this 72 tool .Yet once language developed , the possibilities for human kind’s future 73 and cultural growth increased .Many linguists believe that evolution is 74 for our ability to produce and use language . They 75 that our highly evolved brain provides us 76 an innate language ability not found in lower 77 . Proponents of this innateness theory say that our 78 for language is inborn ,but that language itself develops gradually , 79 a function of the growth of the brain during childhood . Therefore there are critical 80 times for language development .Current 81 of innateness theory are mixed ,however ,evidence supporting the existence of some innate abilities is undeniable . 82 , more and more schools are discovering that foreign languages are best taught in 83 grades . Young children often can learning several language by being 84 to them ,while adults have a much harder time learning another language once the 85 of their first language have become firmly fixed .86 some aspects of language are undeniable innate ,language dose not develop automatically in a vacuum . Children who have been 87 from other human beings do not possess language . This demonstrates that 88 with other human beings is necessary for proper language development . Some linguists believe that this is even more basic to human language 89 than any innate capacities . These theorists view language as imitative, learned behavior . 90 ,children learn language from their parents by imitating them. Parents gradually shape their child’s language skills by positively reinforcing precise imitations and negatively reinforcing imprecise ones.71. A. generated B. evolved C. born D. originated72.

Part I Reading Comprehension （共20小题，每小题2分，共40分）Directions: In this part there are four passages. Each passage is followed by four comprehension questions. Read the passage and answer the questions. Then mark your answer on the Answer Sheet.Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:Human feelings are affected by color unconsciously. Manufactures have discovered by trial anderror that sugar sells badly in green wrappings, that blue foods are considered by consumers as tasteless, and that cosmetics should never be packaged in brown。

These discoveries have grown into a whole discipline of color psychology. Some of our preferences are clearly psychological. Dark blue is the color of the night sky and therefore associated with calm, while yellow is a key color in association with energy. For primitive men, activity during the day time meant hunting and attacking, in which he soon saw red, the color of blood and hunting and fire. So it was natural that green, the complementary color to red, should be associated with passive defense. Experiments have shown that colors also have a direct psychological effect. People when exposed to bright red, show an increase in breathing rate, heart beat and blood pressure. Red is exciting. Similar exposure to pure have exactly the opposite effect, because it is a calming color. Because red has an implication of excitement, it is chosen as the signal for danger. Some analyses show that a vivid yellow can produce a more basic state of alarm. So fire engines and ambulances in some advanced countries are now rushing around in bright yellow colors that stop trafficdead.11、If people are exposed to red, which of the following statements does NOT happen?A、They feel afraid.B、They breathe faster.C、Their blood pressure rise.D、Their hearts heat faster.2、Manufacturers have discovered the secret of colors in making .A、by experimenting with different colorsB、by developing the discipline of color psychologyC、by trying not to make mistakesD、by accumulating their various experiences3、Which of the following is NOT true?A、Our feelings about certain colors are purely psychological.B、Food should never be packaged in brown.C、Sugar sells badly in green wrappings.D、Color probably has an effect on us which we are not conscious of.4、Our preferences for certain colors are .A、dependent on our characterB、linked with the primitive menC、associated with psychologyD、associated with the time of the day5、The passage is about .A、color and traffic accidentsB、color and manufacturersC、which color might influence human feelingsD、why color affects human emotions and behaviorPassage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:Exchange a glance with someone, and then look away. Do you realize that you have made a statement? Hold the glance for a second longer, and you have a different statement. Hold it for 3 seconds, and the meaning has changed again. For very social situation, there is a permissible time that you can hold a person’s gaze without being intimate, rude, or aggressive. If you are on an elevator, what gaze-time are you permitted? To answer this question, consider what you typically do. You very likely give other passengers a quick glance to size them up (打量) and to assure them that you mean no threat. Since being close to another person signals the possibility of interaction, you need to emit a signal telling others you want to be left alone. So you cut off eye contact, which sociologist Erving Goffman (1963)2calls “a dimming of the lights”. You look down at the floor, at the indicator lights, anywhere but into another passenger’s eyes. Should you bream the rule against staring at a stranger on an elevator, you will make the other person exceedingly uncomfortable, and you are likely to feel a bit strange yourself.If you hold eye contract for more than 3 seconds, what are you telling another person? Much depends on the person and the situation. For instance a man and a woman communicate interest in this manner. They typically gaze at each other for about 3 seconds at a time, and then drop their eyes down for 3 seconds, before letting their eyes meet again. But if one man gives another man a 3-second-plus stare, he signals—“I know you,”“I am interested in you,” or “You look peculiar and I am curious about you.” This type of stare often produces hostile feelings.6、It can be inferred from the first paragraph that .A、every glance has its significanceB、staring at a person is an expression of interestC、a gaze longer than 3 seconds is unacceptableD、a glance conveys more meaning than words7、If you want to be left alone on an elevator, the best thing to do is .A、to look into another passenger’s eyesB、to avoid eye contact with other passengersC、to signal you are not a threat to anyoneD、to keep a distance from other passengers8、By “a dimming of the lights” (Lines 9~10, Para. 1), Erving Goffman means “”.A、closing one’s eyesB、turning off the lightsC、ceasing to glance at others B、reducing gaze-time to the minimum9、If one is looked at by a stranger for too long, he tends to feel .A、depressedB、curiousC、uneasyD、amused10、The passage mainly discusses .A、the limitation of eye contactB、the exchange of ides through eye contactC、proper behavior in various situationsD、the role of eye contact in interpersonal communicationPassage 3Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:3Cyclo-cross is a cross-country bicycle racing in open and usually quite rough country with riders often forced to dismount and carry their bicycles.The spot, originated early in the 20th century in France, was current in the 1920s, but became prominent in the 1950s (the British Cyclo-Cross Association was founded in 1954). Originally a European sport, cyclo-cross became popular throughout Western Europe and in the United States. World championships were initiated in 1925; by 1950 these were recognized by the Union Cyclist International (International Cyclists’ Union). After 1967 amateur and professional classes were officially separated in competition.The 24-kilometer cyclo-cross course, often involving laps, is usually completed in 60 minutes. A course typically includes obstacles such as ditches, mud, fallen trees, streams, flight of stairs, fences, and gates; artificial hurdles are added to insufficiently challenging natural courses. Cyclo-cross races are usually held from September to March, adding winter weather hazards to the challenge.There is a massed start with there field assembling not more than two abreast. Helpers are often stationed around the course with spare bicycles in case the original machine encounters mechanical difficulties or becomes too weighted down by picked up to the course.11、What does the word “dismount” in paragraph one mean?A、Give up.B、Give in.C、Get out.D、Get off.12、According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true about cyclo-cross?A、The cyclists sometimes have to carry the bicycles instead of riding them.B、Riders in the race are arranged side by side in not more than two lines.C、The riders start simultaneously on the starting line.D、The riders are allowed to change their machines.13、Cyclo-cross became widely known .A、in the 1920sB、in the 1950sC、in 1925D、in 196714、According to the passage, cyclo-cross are usually held from September to March because .A、the winter is westerner’s favorite seasonB、winter can offer cyclists more risk and dangerC、the winter weather is more agreeableD、in winter the riders needn’t dismount and carry their bicycle15、Which of the following statements can you infer from the passage?A、The riders are competitive and food of taking risks.4B、People except the riders show little interest in cyclo-cross.C、Before 1967, amateur and professional classes had never been separated in competition.D、Helpers are often hired by the riders.Passage 4(非英语类学生必做)Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage:In the second half of each year, many powerful storms are born in the tropical Atlantic and Caribbean seas. Of these, only about half a dozen generate the strong, circling winds of 75 miles per hour or more that give them hurricane status, and several usually make their way to the coast. There they cause millions of dollars of damage, and bring death to large numbers of people.The great storms that hit the coast start as innocent circling disturbances hundreds—even thousands—of miles out to sea. They travel aimlessly over water warmed by the trade winds. When conditions are just right, warm moist air flows in at the bottom of such a disturbance, moves upward through it and comes out at the top. In the process, the moisture in this warm air produces rain, and with it the heat is converted to energy in the form of strong winds. As the heat increases, the young hurricane begins to swirl in a counterclockwise motion.The average life of hurricane is only about nine days, but it contains almost more power than we can imagine. The energy in the heat released by a hurricane’s rainfall in a single day would satisfy the entire electrical needs of the United States for more than six months. Water, not wind, in the main source of death and destruction in a hurricane. A typical hurricane bring 6 to 12 mountains of water moving toward the low-pressure center. The water level rises as much as 15 feet above normal as it moves toward shore.16、When is an ordinary tropical storm considered to be a hurricane?A、When it begins in the Atlantic and Caribbean seas.B、When it hits the coastline.C、When its winds reach 75 miles per hour or even more.D、When the circling winds bring damages.17、What is the worst thing about hurricanes?A、The destructive effects of water.B、The heat they release.C、That they last about nine days on the average.5D、Their strong winds.18、The counterclockwise swirling of the hurricane is brought about by .A、the low-pressure area in the center of the stormB、the force of waves of waterC、the trade windsD、the increasing heat(英语类学生必做)Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage:In cities with rent control, the city government sets the maximum rent that a landlord can charge for an apartment. Supporters of rent control argue that it protects people who are living in apartment. Their rent cannot increase; therefore, they are not in danger of losing their homes. However, the critics say that after a long time, rent control may have negative effects. Landlords know that they cannot increase their profits. Therefore, they invest in other businesses where they can increase their profits. They do not invest in new building which would also be rent controlled. As a result, new apartments are not built. Many people who need apartments cannot find any. According to the critics, the end result of rent control is a shortage of apartments cannot find any. According to the critics, the end result of rent control is a shortage of apartments in the city.Some theorists argue that the minimum wage law can cause problem in the same way. The federal government sets the minimum that an employer must pay workers. The minimum helps mechanical difficulties or becomes too weighted down by mud picked up to the course people who generally look for unskilled, low-paying jobs. However, if the minimum is high, employers may hire fewer workers. They will replace workers with machinery. The price, which is the wage that employers must pay, increases. Therefore, other things being equal, the number of workers that employers want decreases. Thus, critics claim, an increase in the minimum wage may cause unemployment. Some poor people may find themselves without jobs instead of with jobs at the minimum wage.Supporters of the minimum wage say that it helps people keep their dignity. Because of the law, workers cannot sell their services for less than the minimum. Furthermore, employers cannot force workers to accept jobs at unfair wages.Economic theory predicts the results of economic decisions such as decisions about farm production, rent control, and the minimum wage. The predictions may be correct only if “other things are equal”. Economists do not agree on some of the predictions. They also do not agree on the value of6different decisions. Some economists support a particular decision while others criticize it. Economists do agree, however, that there are no simple answers to economic questions.16、There is the possibility that setting maximum rent may .A、cause a shortage of apartmentsB、worry those who rent apartments as homesC、increase the profits of landlordsD、encourage landlords to invest building apartments17、According to the critics, rent control .A、will always benefit those who rent apartmentsB、is unnecessaryC、will bring negative effects in the long runD、is necessary under all circumstances18、The problem of unemployment will arise .A、if the minimum wage is set too highB、if the minimum wage is set too lowC、if the workers are unskilledD、if the maximum wage is set19、The passage tell us .A、the relationship between supply and demandB、the possible results of government controlsC、the necessity of government controlD、the urgency of getting rid of government controls20、Which of the following statements is NOT true?A、The results of economic decisions can not always be predicted.B、Minimum wage can not always protect employees.C、Economic theory can predict the result of economic decisions if other factors are not changing.D、Economic decisions should not be based on economic theory.Part II Vocabulary and Structure （共40小题，每小题1分，共40分）Directions: In this part there are forty incomplete sentences.

But soon the settlers wanted bigger farms and 64 land10for themselves and their families. So the Europeans started to 65 the land from the Indians. Naturally, 66 the whites started taking all the Indian’s land, the Indians started 67 back. But the white were stronger and 68 . Slowly they pushed the Indians 69 those parts of the continent that the whites didn’t want—the parts 70 it was too cold or too dry or too mountainous to live. By 1875, the Indians were living in a(n) 71 place called “reservation”. 72 even here the whites took land from them—perhaps the whites wanted the wood, or perhaps 73 had important minerals in it, 74 the whites even wanted to make national parks there. So 75 on their reservations the Indians were not safe from 76 . There are many Hollywood Films about the fight 77 the Indians and the whites. 78 in these films the Indians are had and the white are good and 79 .

This 61 called laziness, but Dr.Lieitman has a new explanation. He has proved that everyone has a daily energy 62 . During the hours when you 63 your work you may say that you’re “hot”. That’s true. The time of day when you feel most 64 is when your cycle of body temperature is 65 its peak. For some people the peak comes during the forenoon. For 66 it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so, but it 67 such familiar monologues (自言自语) as: Get up John! You’ll be late for work again!

People use money to buy food, furniture, books, bicycles and hundreds of what they need or want. When they work, they usually get paid in money.Most of the money today is made of metal or paper. But people used to use all kinds of things as money. One of the first kinds of money was shells. Shells were not the only things used as money. In parts of Africa, cattle were one of the earliest kinds of money. Other animals were used as money, too.The first metal coins were made in China. They were round and had a square hole in the center. People strung（系）them together and carried them from place to place. Different countries have used different metals and designs for their money. The first coins in England were made of tin. Sweden and Russia used copper to make their money. Later, other countries began to make coin of gold and silver.But even gold and silver were inconvenient if you had to buy something expensive. Again the Chinese thought of a way to improve money. They began to use paper money. The first paper money looked more like a note from one person to another than paper money used today.Money has had an interesting history from the days of shell money until today.61. Which of the following can be cited as an example of the use of money in exchange for services?A) To sell a bicycle for ＄20B) To get some money for old booksC) To buy things you need or wantD) To get paid for your work62. Where were shells used as money in history?A) In the Philippines. B) In ChinaC) In Africa D) It is not mentioned63. Why, according to the passage, did ancient Chinese coins have a square hole in the center?A) Because it would be easier to put them together and carry them around.B) Because it would be lighter for people to carry them from place to place.C) Because people wanted to make it look nicer.D) Because people wanted to save the expensive metal they were made from.64. Why does the author say that even gold and silver were inconvenient if you had to buy something expensive?A) Because they are easy to steal.B) Because they are difficult for people to obtain.C) Because they are not easy to carry around.D) Because they themselves are expensive, too.65. Which one do you choose as the best title for this passage?A) Money and Its UsesB) Different Things Used as MoneyC) Different Countries, Different MoneyD) The History of MoneyTwoResearch has shown that motivation（动机）is very important in learning a language; you need to be enthusiastic about it, and to be interested in it. Different people will have different motives – the desire for promotion, the hope of being able to study abroad, curiosity about a very different culture, and pure intellectual enjoyment is only one of possible motives. But actually wanting to learn is the most important motive of all.Courage is an essential attribute（属性）in learning a language. It takes a lot of courage to speak a foreign language either in front of your friends or to native speakers, but don’t be afraid of making mistakes---that is the way we learn. Nowadays there are many different forms of English, each with its own constructions and accent, and, so long as you can make yourself understood and can understand what is said to you, you have succeeded in communicating, which is the purpose of any language.Curiosity is not only a possible motivation. It is also a great help in your learning. Remember that a language is not just a grammatical system, it is the outcome of a certain culture. It is not very helpful just to learn lots of words and lists of grammatical rules unless you know as much as possible about the background of the language, so that you can understand the ideas which are being conveyed（表达），the references which are being made, and the inferences which can be drawn from the information explicitly（明白地）given. So learn as much as you can about the different cultures which influence English—watch television programs, listen to the radio, try to obtain newspaper and magazines which are written by native speakers, look at advertisements, and above all, read---not textbooks, but novels and poems and plays. They will show you how language is really used. The English language is not an abstract(抽象的)system; it is a living form of expression which derives much of its meaning from the context in which it is used, and much of its effect from a whole network of extra – linguistic（语言学之外的）knowledge. If you live in a country where English is the native language, you acquire this knowledge naturally, just as in China you acquired your own cultural knowledge unconsciously. But, becauseyou are unlikely to be able to visit countries where English is spoken as the native language, you have to make a conscious effort to acquire this cultural awareness and knowledge.66. With what topic is this passage primarily concerned?A) Curiosity in Learning a Language B) Courage in Learning a LanguageC) Motivation in Learning a Language D) Qualities in Learning a Language67. The author of this passage possibly is a ______.A) beginner of English Learning B) foreign teacher of EnglishC) Chinese teacher of English D) Chinese student studying abroad68. What does the author suggest in this passage?A) You should not learn grammar.B) You should ignore the rules of pronunciation.C) You should learn a language by making mistakes.D) You should learn a language at school69. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?A) You should be prepared to make mistakes in communicationB) Words are the basis of English learningC) Good pronunciation is important to an English learner.D) Wanting to know everything does not help you learning a language.70. According to the author, what’s the best way of learning English?A) To study hard B) To study abroadC) To learning about cultures D) To make mistakesThreeAmongst the most popular books being written today are those which are usually classified as science fiction（科幻小说）.Hundreds of titles are published every year and are read by all kind of people. Furthermore, some of the most successful films of recent years have been based on science fiction stories.It is often thought that science fiction is a fairly new development in literature, but its ancestors（原型）can be found in books written hundreds of years ago. These books are often concerned with the presentation of some forms of ideal society, a theme which is still often found in modern stories.Most of classics of science fiction, however, have been written within the last one hundred years. Books by writers such as Jules Verne and H. G. Wells, to mention just two well – known authors, have been translated into many languages.Modern science fiction writers don’t writes about men from Mars or space adventure stories. They are more interested in predicting the results of technical developments on society and the human mind; or in imagining future worlds which are a reflection（反映）of the world which we live in now. Because of this their writing has obvious political undertones（含意）.In an age where science fact frequently overtakes（超越）science fiction, the writers may find it difficult to keep ahead of scientific advances. Those who are sufficiently clear – sighted to see the way we are going, however, may provide avaluable lesson on how to deal with the problems which society will inevitably face as it tries to come to terms with a continually changing view of the world.71. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A) Science fiction is fairly new in literature.B) Science fiction is rather popular with people today.C) Science fiction often deals with some form of ideal society.D) Hundreds of books classified as science fiction are printed every year.72. Earliest science fiction was written _____.A) one hundred years agoB) by Jules Verne and H. G. WellsC) to tell people how to imagine future worldsD) hundreds of years ago73. Modern science fiction writers are interested in_______.A) adventures in spaceB) some form of ideal worldC) future worlds which have nothing in common with our present societyD) predicting developments in technology and their effects on society74. In our present world, _____________________.A) science develops as fast as it is predicted by science fiction writersB) science develops faster than writers can imagineC) science fiction writers can always foresee what wonders science can doD) Only science fiction writers can see the way science is going75. Which of the following is NOT the conclusion that we draw from this passage?A) Sensible science fiction writers may tell us what to do in future.B) We are bound to have problems as we try to make progress in science.C) No one knows anything about what to do with the problems we are to face.D) Our view of the world are subject to change.IV.Short Answer (10 points, 2 for each)Do you find getting up in the morning so difficult that it’s painful? This might be called laziness, but Dr. Kleitman has a new explanation. He has proved that everyone has daily energy cycle.During the hours when you labor through your work you may say that you’re “hot”. That’s true. The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak. For some people the peak comes during the morning. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so, but it leads to such familiar monologues（独白）as: ”Get up, John! Y ou will be late for work again! ” The possible explanation to the trouble is that John is at his temperature－and－energy peak in the evening. Much family quarreling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean, and which cycle each member of the family has.Y ou can’t change your energy cycle, but you can learn to make your life fit it better. Habit can help, Dr. Kleitmen believes. Maybe you’re sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway. Counteract（对抗）your cycle to some extent by habitually staying up later than you wantto. If your energy is low in the morning but you have an important job to do early in the day, rise before your hour. This won’t change your cycle, but you’ll get up and work better at your low point.Get off to a slow start which saves your energy. Get up with a leisurely yawn（呵欠）and stretch. Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor. A void the troublesome search for clean clothes by laying them out the night before. Whenever possible, do routine work in the afternoon and takes requiring more energy or concentration for your sharper hours.76. What is Dr. Kleitman’s new explanation?It is that everyone has _________________________________________________________.77.When is the time your cycle of body temperature is at its peak?It is ________________________________________________________________________.78. If one wants to work more efficiently at his low point in the morning, he should ______________________________________________________________________________.79. Y ou are advised to rise with ________________ because it will help to keep your energy for the day’s work.80. According to the passage, does the peak come to people at the same time?______________________________________________________________________________.V.Writing (25 points)（根据以下三点提示，写一篇不少于100个英文单词的短文）In Face of Soaring Book Prices1.如今书价越来越高2.我们应付昂贵书价的一些方法3.希望书价越来越便宜。

Before the 1960s, the best way to travel in a city was on a street-car, a subway, a railroad, or an elevated train. All of these ran on tracks that led downtown.As our cities grew outward, people living far from the center of town needed a place they could drive to quickly. Driving downtown was difficult. Finding a parking space downtown was something almost impossible. People also needed a shopping place where they could park easily.To meet the shopping needs of people living in the suburbs, groups of businesses moved farther out, too. Today, most suburbs have large shopping centers.Modern and well-planned shopping centers are built on large areas of ground. They have even more space for parking than they do for stores. The shopping centers have many different kinds of stores. Often, the shoppers can do all their shopping in one place.The very large shopping centers have malls which make shopping pleasant. The mall is an area between stores set aside for walking. Shoppers can stroll（漫步）from store to store and enjoy beautiful fountains, statues, and plants. There are benches so that shoppers may rest. Some shopping centers have malls with roofs that protect shoppers from the weather outside.21. The first paragraph tells us that in the past ________.A) few people drove cars to do shoppingB) it was convenient to do shopping downtownC) people liked to live in downtown areasD) street-cars were the main vehicle within a city22. Why did some businesses move from downtown to the suburbs?A) They needed more space to build modern large stores.B) People no more liked to do shopping in city centers.C) Shopping downtown was difficult due to heavy traffic.D) Downtown businesses were not as good as before.23. Nowadays people prefer to go shopping in big malls because malls ________.A) are close to their homesB) have much larger walking spaceC) can shelter people from sunshineD) are more pleasant for shoppers24. The passage is mainly about ________.A) changes of people’s shopping habitsB) the need for modern shopping centersC) people’s life in the center of big citiesD) how to run a business in the suburbs25. We can conclude from the passage that ________.A) suburban areas are beautiful and pleasant placesB) elevated trains will be built to connect shopping centersC) only city people visit big shopping centersD) suburban people will have more shopping centersPassage TwoQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.When I arrived in Beijing more than five years ago, I had already given blood 79 times.I wanted to continue to be a donor（献血者）. But entering a Red Cross clinic（诊所）in Beijing, I was surprised to be received as a hero. For me, a blood donation was simply a good habit and gift of love to humans.In Canada, donors can give 450 ml each time, every 51 days. That means six times a year. In China, we can give only 200 ml, every four months.In 1984, there were only 19 donors in Beijing who offered their blood for free. One year later, there were 141. In 1986, 1,083, and so on until the figure reached 10,046 in 1990, 14,016 in 1992 and more than double that the following year. There were 41,037 in 1994, and my statistics stop here. I’m so glad to see that the Chinese have understood that giving blood is not dangerous, and that it’s a way to say, in a real communist spirit, “Brother, I love you”.In fact, every time I give bl ood, I think of my blood running in a man or a woman’s veins（血管）. Through donation thirteen Chinese have become my relatives now. Giving blood is like giving birth. Some of these thirteen people may have died without my donation; doesn’t that make it worth becoming a volunteer（志愿者）? What makes me even happier is when I can convince a Chinese friend to come with me and become a donor too.Things have become easier since May 1, 1996. A Hong Kong donor offered a well-equipped mobile unit to the Red Cross here. The vehicle stands in front of the Xidan Shopping Mall every Wednesday and Sunday morning, from May to the end of October. Donors just need a few minutes. I hope this public example will encourage new donors, and blood donation will become a social trend among the population.26. When the writer first went to the Red Cross clinic in Beijing to donate his blood he was surprised ____.A) how he was respected by the people thereB) what a good habit blood donation isC) that donors only gave 200 ml each time in ChinaD) that most Chinese people were willing to donate blood27. The number of voluntary blood donors in Beijing in 1993 is ____.A) more than 30,000B) more than 28,000C) more than 15,000D) more than 14,00028. According to the writer, more and more Chinese are giving blood free because _______.A) they know the advantage of blood donationB) they have learned how to donate bloodC) they have realized its great significanceD) they know it’s a way to show thei r generosity29. The word “that” in Line 3, Para. 4 mostly probably means ____.A) Becoming a volunteerB) donating bloodC) having relativesD) saving people’s life30. The purpose of the writer in writing this passage is to ____.A) explain blood donation is not harmful to the donor’s healthB) convince readers of the importance of blood donationC) tell us his donation experience in ChinaD) show people how to give blood freePassage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.Don’t Waste Advertising DollarsThe most important aspect of direct mail marketing（直邮营销）isn’t a creative letter or an attractive offer. It’s a good mailing list of customers. In fact, advertising professionals say that as much as 60 percent of your success in direct mail depends on getting the right names. But before you can find the perfect list, you need to define your ideal customer based on factors such as:l Geographic locationl Age, sex and income levell Profession or educational levell Hobbiesl Size of a companyIf you’re trying to sell luxury cars（豪华轿车）to rich people, it’s obviously a waste of money to mail an offer to those who earn $30,000 a year. But that’s just what some companies do. This is trul y one area where you can be “penny wise and pound foolish.”You can try to search for mailing lists yourself. But it’s generally best to find a broker（经纪人）who can identify the right lists for your company. Then, makesure the names are readily available. A list may be only 12 months old and has many names and addresses on it. But it can no longer be accurate（精确）because people move, close post office boxes, retire, and make other changes.31. The phrase “an attractive offer” (Line 2, Para. 1) in the pass age probably means ________.A) valuable productsB) direct mail marketingC) a good mailing listD) something cheap32. What is considered most important in direct mail marketing?A) Writing a friendly letter.B) Getting the right names.C) Giving a low price.D) Having a list of customers.33. What is an ideal customer (Line 4, Para. 1) according to the passage?A) One who will buy your products or service.B) One who will buy a luxury car.C) One who is richer than others.D) One who is not very poor.34. If a man is “penny wise and pound foolish” (Line 3, Para. 2), people think he is ________.A) a person who saves up every bit of moneyB) a person who is only capable of doing small thingsC) a person who is sometimes clever and sometimes foolishD) a person who can deal with different kinds of situations35. It’s very important that you can get in touch with the names on the list, because ________.A) people are always changingB) people move frequentlyC) mailing lists are very expensiveD) mailing lists are seldom accuratePassage FourQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.The laptop computer（便携式电脑）is popular all over the world because it is small enough for us to put on the upper part of our legs. People use them on trains and airplanes, in airports and hotels. These computers connect people to their workplace. In the UnitedStates today, they also connect students to their classmates.Westlake College in Virginia will start a laptop computer program that allows students to do schoolwork anywhere they want. Within five years, each of the 1500 students at the college will get a laptop. Westlake College has started a large computer program for its students. With laptop computers, the students will be connected not only to the Internet but also to libraries. In addition, they can use e–mail to “speak” with their teachers, their classmates, and their families. However, the most important part of the laptop computer program is that students will be able to use computers without going to computer labs. They can work with it at home, in a fast–food restaurant or under thetrees---anywhere at all.At Westlake College, more than 90 percent of the students use computers, either desktop （台式）or laptop, but the laptop users can work and study in any of the places.

Passage One All the housewives who went to the new supermarket had one great ambition: to be the lucky customer who did not have to pay for her shopping . For this was what the notice just inside the entrance promised. It said:“Remember, once a week, one of our customers gets free goods. This May Be Your Lucky Day!” For several weeks Mrs. Edwards hoped, lide many of her friends, to be the lucky customer. Unlike her friends, she never gave up hoping. The cupboards in kitchen were full of things which she did not need. Her husba nd tried to advise her against buying things but failed. She dreamed of the day when the manager of the supermarket would approach her a nd say:“Madam, this is Your Lucky Day. Ev erything in your basket is free.” One Friday morning, after she had finished her shopping a nd had taken it to her car, she found that she had forgotten to buy any tea. She dashed back to the supermarket, got the tea a nd went towards the cash-desk.. As she did so, she saw the manager of the supermarket approach her.“Madam,” he said, holding out his ha nd,“I want to congratulate you! You are our lucky customer a nd everything you have in your basket is free!” 51.The housewives learnt about the offer of free goods . A. on TV B. from the manager C. at the supermarket D. from the newspaper 52.Mrs.Edwards . A. is always very lucky B. had no friends C. hoped to get free shopping D. gets disappointed easily 53.Mrs.Edwards’s husba nd tried to .

A. buy another thing B. talk to the manager C. pay for her shopping D. find her shopping 55.Mrs.Edwards must have been . A. pleased B. delighted C. proud D. disappointed Passage Two Generations of Americans have been brought up to believe that a good breakfast is one life’s essentials. Eating breakfast at the start of the day ,we have all been told , a nd told again, is as necessary as putting gasoline in the family car before starting a trip. But for many people the thought of food first thing in the morning is by no means a pleasure. So despite all the efforts, they still take no breakfast. Between 1977 a nd 1983, the latest year for which figures are available, the number of people who didn’t have breakfast, increased by 33 percent. For those who feel pain of guilt about not eating breakfast , however, there is some good news. Several studies in the last few years indicate that , for adults especially, there may be nothing wrong with omitting breakfast.“Going without breakfast does not affect performance,”said Arrold nor does E. Bender, former professor of the nutrition at Queen Elizabeth College in London, “giving people breakfast improve performance.” Scientific evidence linking breakfast to better health or better performance is surprisingly inadequate, a nd most of the recent work involves children , not adults,“The literature”, says one reaearch er , Dr, Erresto at the University of Texas ,“is poor”. 56. The latest year for which figures could be obtained is . A. the year the author wrote the article B.1997 C. any year between 1977 a nd 1983 D.1983 57.For those who do not take breakfast ,the good news is that . A .several studies have been done in the past few years B. the omission of breakfast does no harm to one’s healty C. adults have especially made studies in this field D. eating little in the morning is good for health 58.“… nor does giving people breakfast improve performance”means . A. anyone without breakfast does improve his performance B. not giving people breakfast improve performance C. having breakfast does not improve performance, either D. people having breakfast do improve their performance 59.The wore “literature”in the last sentence refers to . A. stories , poems, play, etc . B. written works on a particular subject C. any printed material D. the moden literature of America 60.What is implied but NOT stated by the author is that . A. breakfast does not affect performance B. Dr. Erresto is engaged in research work at an institution of higher learning C. not eating breakfast might affect the health of children D. Professor Bender once taught college courses in nutrition in London Passage Three Banks are not ordinarily prepared to pay out all accounts; they rely on depositors(储户) not to dema nd payment all at the same time .If depositors should come to fear might cause all the depositors to appear on the same day .If they did ,the ba nd could not pay all accounts. However, if they did not all appear at once, then there would always be enough money to pay those who wanted their money when they wanted it .Mrs. Elsie Vaught has told us of a terrifying bank run that she experienced .One day in December of 1925 several banks failed to open in a city where Mrs. Vaught lived. The other banks expected a run the next day, a nd so the officers of the bank in which Mrs. Vaught worked as a teller had enough money on ha nd to pay off their depositors. The officers simply told the tellers to pay on dema nd. The next morning a crowd gathered in the bank a nd on the sidewalk outside. The length of the line made many think that the bank could not possibly pay off everyone .People began to push a nd then to fight for places near two tellers, though they the tellers’ windows. The power of the panic atmosphere was such thatknew that the bank was quite all right a nd could pay all depositors, drew their own miney from the bank. Mrs. Vaught says that she had difficulty keeping herself from doing the same. 61.A bank run happens when_____. A. a book is closed for one or more days. B. too many depositors try to draw out their money at one time C. there is not enough money to pay all its depositors at one time D. tellers of a bank take their own money from the bank ank were told to_____. 62.

She knew that the bank was not sound. B. She feared that too many depositors drawing their money would close the bank.. C. She was not able to draw out her money. D. She was tempted to draw out her money. 65. According to the passage ,the actions of the depositors of Mrs. Vaught’s bank were affected mainly by the ____. A. ease with which they could get their money B. confidence that Mrs. Vaught showed C. failure of several other banks to open D. confidence shown by other depositors of the bank Passage Four The energy which the sun radiates goes in every direction ,a nd only a minute part of it falls on the earth .Even so , it represents power of about 5,000,000 horsepower(马力)per square mile per day ;the sun gives us as much energy every minute as mankind utilizes in a year .At present , we use this energy indirectly , a nd it is our final source of power . Coal represents the chemical action of the sun on green plants thousa nds of years ago . Water power results from the rain formed by vapor which comes from the evaporation of water under the sunshine . Even windmills operate because of air currents set in motion by the different heating effects of the sun in different places . Some day ,through chemistry or some type of solar engine , we shall harness this great source of energy more directly . Already a scientist has worked out an engine , surprisingly a rube of water to create efficient , in which the sun’s rays are concentrated through mirrors onsteam . 66. How much energy given off by the sun reaches the earth? A.100% but indirectly B.5% C. 50% D. only a very tiny amount 67.

Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer with single line through the center . From childhood to old age , we all use language as a means of broadening our knowledge of ourselves a nd the world about us . When humans first 71 , they were like newborn children ,unable to use this 72 tool .Yet once language developed , the possibilities for human kind’s future 73 a nd cultural growth increased . Many linguists believe that evolution is 74 for our ability to produce a nd use language . They 75 that our highly evolved brain provides us 76 an innate language ability not found in lower 77 . Proponents of this innateness theory say that our 78 for language is inborn ,but that language itself develops gradually , 79 a function of the growth of the brain during childhood . Therefore there are critical 80 times for language development . Current 81 of innateness theory are mixed ,however ,evidence supporting the existence of some innate abilities is undeniable . 82 , more a nd more schools are discovering that foreign languages are best taught in 83 grades . Young children often can learning several language by being 84 to them ,while adults have a much harder time learning another language once the 85 of their first language have become firmly fixed . 86 some aspects of language are undeniable innate ,language dose not develop automatically in a vacuum . Children who have been 87 from other human beings do not possess language . This demonstrates that 88 with other human beings is necessary for proper language development . Some linguists believe that this is even more basic to human language 89 than any innate capacities . These theorists view language as imitative, learned behavior . 90 ,children learn child’s language language from their parents by imitating them. Parents gradually shape their skills by positively reinforcing precise imitations a nd negatively reinforcing imprecise ones. 71. A. generated B. evolved C. born D. originated 72.

Reading Comprehension (50 points )T ask 1 (2 points each; I 0 points in all )Directions: After reading the following passage, you will find 5 questions or unfinished statements ( No. 46 through No. 50 ). For each question or statement there are 4 choices. Y ou should make the correct choice and put the corresponding letter on the Answ er Sheet.In ancient times the most important examinations were spoken, not written. In the schools of Ancient Greece and Rome, testing usually consisted of saying poetry aloud or giving speeches.In the European universities of the Middle Ages, students who were working for advanced degrees had to discuss questions in their field of study with people who had made a special studyof the subject. This custom exists today as part of the process of testing candidates (考生) for the doctor‘s degree.Generally , however, modern examinations are written. The written examination, where all Students are tested on the on the same questions, was probably not known until the nineteenth century.Perhaps it came into existence with the great increase in population and the development of modern Industry, A room full of candidates for a state examination, timed exactly by electric clocks and Carefully watched over by managers, resembles a group of workers at an automobile factory. Certainly, , during examinations teachers and students are expected to act like machines.One type of test ins sometimes called an objective test . It is intended to deal with facts, not personal opinions. To make up an objective test the teacher writhes a series of questions, each of which has only one correct answer. Along with each question the teacher writes the correct answer and also three statements that look like answers to students who have not learned the material properly.46. In the Middle Ages students ________ .A. took objective testsB. were timed by electric clocksC. specialized in one subjectD. never wrote exams47. The main idea of paragraph 3 is that _______.A. workers now take examinationsB. the population has grownC. there are only written exams todayD. examinations are now written and timed48.

It may be concluded that testing _____.A. should test only opinionsB. has hanged since the Middle AgesC. should always be writtenD. is given only in factoriesT ask 2 (2 points each ; 10 points in all )Directions: This task is the same as Task I ( No. 51 through No. 55)He lived in the 16th century . A few things , but not really that many , are known about his Life. And yet around the comment is unanimous : he was the greatest writer who ever lived. His name was William Shakespeare.Shakespeare was born in 1564 in a little town called Stratford – upon-A von. When he was in his twenties, he made his way to London. There he spent most of his working life. The theater was every popular at that time, and son Shakespeare was writing plays for them. (He also acted in some of the plays.) In 1599 the company built the famous Globe Theater .There Shakespeare wrote and acted until he retired in about 1607.Shakespeare wrote three kinds of plays: comedies, tragedies, and histories. Many of the comedies involved mistaken identities, women pretending to be men, and slapstick (滑稽剧)situations. One of his famous comedies is A Midsummer Night‘s Dream. Shakespeare‘s tragedies were often about a noble and honorable man who had one fault that helped bring about hi s downfall. Hamlet is an example. Shakespeare‘s histories were usually about kings of England, such as Richard IIIor Henry V.What made Shakespeare‘s word so great? It was not necessarily his stories. Many were retellings of stories the audience already knew . But the way he told the stories was often remarkable. He understood the way people thought and acted, and he built this into his characters.Even though they were created 400 years ago, Shakespeare‘s characters are believed today.S hakespeare‘s use of language – such as his beautiful descriptions and his clear, to – the –point statements – also made him great. Hundreds of famous English sayings come from his plays. One example: ―to be or not to be , this is a question. ‖51. This passage is mainly about_____A. the Globe TheaterB. theater in the 1500sB. Shakespeare‘s histories D.

They regard themselves as unlikely to succeed in college and often feel that there have been no accomplishments in their lives. In my first year of college especially , I saw people get themselves down all too quickly . There were two students in my class who failed the first test and seemed to give up immediately. From that day on, they walked into the classroom carrying defeat on their shoulders the way other students carried textbooks tinder their arms. Both students hang on until about mid-term. When they disappeared for good, no one took much notice, for they had already disappeared in spirit after that first test.They are not the only people in whom I have seen the self-doubt do its work. I have really wanted to shake them by the shoulders and say : ― Y ou are not dead. Be proud and pleased that you have brought yourself here to college. Be someone. Breathe. Hope. Act.‖ Such people should not give up without even trying.56.The underlined phrase ‖get themselves down‖ ( Para.1 )probably means.A.Tell liesB. lose confidenceC. avoid dangersD.waste time57.When the two students dropped out, no one took much notice becauseA.they had long list heart in class performanceB.they were absent from class too often.C.they didn‘t get on well with other studentsD.they were so much cut off from the rest of the class58.According to the passage, the two students failed in their study because of theirA. shynessB. proudnessC. self-doubtziness59.The author thinks that the two students should.A.give up their college educationB.learn from other studentsC.feel happy because they are in collegeD.try hard before giving up60.The underlined sentence ― Both students hang on until abou t mid-term‖( Para.1 ) tells usthat ___?A.they didn‘t study wellB.they didn‘t take part in class activitiesC.they didn‘t take notes in classD.they didn‘t finish their study that termT ask 4 ( 3 points each; 15 points in all )Directions: This task is the same as Task I ( NO.61 through No.65 )People born in autumn live linger than those born in spring and are less likely to fall chronically(慢性)ill when they are older, according to an Austrian scientist. Using census(人口统计)data for more than one million people in Austria, Denmark and Australia, scientists at the Max Plank Institute for Demographic (人口统计的)Research found the month of birth was related to life expectancy over the age of 50. Seasonal differences in what mothers are during pregnancy(孕期),and infections occurring at different times of the year could both have an impact on the health of a new – born baby and could influence its life expectancy in older age.―A mother giving birth in Spring spends the last stage of her pregnancy in winter, when she will eat less vitamins than in summer, ‖said one of the scientists. ―‖When she stops breast –feeding and starts giving her baby normal food, it‘s in the hot weeks of summer when babies have tendency to infections of tile digestive system.‖ In Austria, adults born in autumn lived about seven months born in spring by about four months. In the southern hemisphere, the picture is similar. ―Adults born in the Australian autumn lived about four months longer than those born in the Australian spring. The study focused on people born at the beginning of the 20th century, using death certificates and census data. Although nutrition(营养)at all times of the year has improved since then, the seasonal pattern persists.61．The passage is mainly about_________.A how the month of birth is related to life expectancyB. how the seasonal pattern affects the health of new – born babiesC how nutrition in different seasons influences life expectancyD why people born in autumn are free from chronic illness62.

A quarter of the respondents (受调查者) regard postcards as old-fashioned and slow to arrive, A further 14% admitted that thinking of something to fill the space was too challenging, compared with a call home.Although officially invented by a Hungarian, Emanuel Herrmann, in 1869, the idea of illustrated cards was taken up with most enthusiasm in Victorian Britain, joining Gothic architecture and landscape gardening as fields for which the country was famous.“If the British postcard did disappear, we would lose for ever something of great importance to the nation, ” said Chris Mottershead of Thomson Holidays, which did the survey. He was backed by Marie Angelou of Sussex University , who has investigated the importance of sending and receiving postcards. “Postcards are nothing like phone calls, instant messages and direct photo shots via the mobile, ” she said. “All these are useful, practical devices, but postcards offer something else, something additional that is not simply functional,but imaginative and personal. They can create the real atmosphere of your holiday in a way that nothing else can do. They are also for more than a moment——with some people adding them tocollections built up over years and years.”46. Who first got the idea of illustrated cards?A. Emanuel Herrmann.B. Victorian Britain.C. Chris Mottershead.D. Marie Angelou.47. The word challenging (in paragraph 2 ) probably means ______.A. interestingB. expensiveC. difficultD. dishonest48. The reason why some people refuse to give up postcards is that ______.A. it is not convenient for people to use emails nowB. it is not convenient for people to use instant messagesC. sending postcards can be more fashionableD. sending postcards can create a holiday atmosphere49. We can learn from the last paragraph that ______.A. it is necessary for people to use phone calls, instant messages and direct photo shots via the mobileB. unlike phone calls, instant messages and direct photo shots via the mobile, postcards are not functionalC. it is necessary for people to use postcards in spite of the convenience provided by other devicesD. postcards are completely the same as phone calls , instant messages and others50. We can infer from the passage that ______.A. postcards will disappear in a few years because of other devices of communicationB. people’s happiness in sending and receiving postcards can only last a momentC. postcard collecting might be one of the reasons why some people still like the postcardsD. without postcards, people will have less communication with othersPassage fourDespite a cooling of the economy, high-technology companies are still crying out for skilled workers. The Information Technology Association of America projects that more than 800,000 technology jobs will go unfilled next year. The lack of qualified workers poses a huge threat to the U. S. economy.The most commonly cited reason for this state of affairs is th at the country’s agrarian-age (农村时代) education system fails to prepare students in the primary and secondary grades for the 21st century work. Yet an inadequate and outmoded education system is only part of the problem. A less tangible (明确的) but equally powerful cause is an antique (过时的) classification system that divides the workforce into two camps: white-collar knowledge workers and blue-collar manual laborers.Blue-collar workers emerged in the United States during the Industrial Age as work moved from farms to factories. White-collar office workers became a significant class in the twentieth century, outnumbering (多于) the blue-collar workers by mid-century. Corporations increasingly require a new layer of knowledge worker: a highly skilled multi-disciplined talent , who combines the mind of the white-collar worker with a solid grounding in mathematics and science (physics, chemistry, and biology ) These “ gold-collar ” workers——so named for their contributions to their companies and to the economy as well as for their personal earning ability——apply their knowledge to technology.The gold-collar worker already exists in a wide range of jobs. The maintenance technician who tests and repairs aircraftsystems at American Airlines; the network administrator who manages systems and network operations at Procter & Gamble(宝洁公司); the engineering technologist who assists scientists at Sandia National Laboratories;and the advanced-manufacturing technician at Intel can all be regarded as gold-collar workers.51. What does the word “ projects ” in the first paragraph mean?A. ThrowsB. PredictsC. ConcludesD. Claims52. What is a gold-collar worker’s advantage over that of a blue-collar worker?A. A gold-collar worker is more skillful in technology.B. A gole-collar worker has received higher education.C. A gold-collar worker used to be a white-collar worker.D. A gold-collar worker learnt more in high school.53. How can a person be qualified as a gold-collar worker?A. He must continue to learn and work hard in his career.B. He must have the knowledge of more than one subject.C. He can make a skillful use of his wisdom and his knowledge.D. He can earn more than a blue-collar worker does.54. It can be inferred from the passage that the first group of blue-collar workers were most likely to be________.A. migrantsB. educatorsC. servantsD. farmers55. What has contributed much to America’s lack of qualified skilled workers?A. The outdated education system.B. The current new classification of workforce.C. The fact that most American workers are illiterates.D. The fact that the blue-collar workers are not used to the factory work.Part III Cloze (10%)The person who can see a ship without some feeling of excitement must have very little imagination. Even the idea of leaving the solid land 56 most of us were born and brought 57 ,and going out on to the ever-moving waters must arouse 58 some feelings of strangeness. We may remember stories of terrible storms, with waves 59 mountains, and of people from ships which have sunk 60 weeks in small boats hundreds of miles from land. But we have also 61 joy of traveling on calm seas under blue 62 , and of the 63 excitement of coming to a new beautiful land which we have seen only in pictures before.64 ships are not , of course, made chiefly for pleasure: their biggest use is in carrying goods from country to country. 65 , ships can carry more goods than 66 means of transport, and can 67 .so more cheaply. If ships 68 , the British government would not be able to feed 69 people.Ships also have made 70 to discover more and more distant parts of our world. 71 is known to all, Columbus used a ship to discover America about 500 years ago . And 72 , ships are used for exploring the Antarctic. 73 would, in fact, not be 74 to say that ships have for thousands of years 75 one of the most important parts in shaping society.56.A.by which B.from which C.on which D.for which57.A.forth B.up C.out D.about allB.all of us C.in us allD.for us all59.A.as high B.as higher as C.higher as D.as high as60.A.spendingB.to spendC.spendD.spent61.A.heard with B.heard ofC.heard by D.heard from62.A.watersB.coversC.skiesD.levels63.A.unbelievableB.uncountableC.uncomfortableD.unforget table64.A.MoreoverB.InsteadC.ThusD.But65.A.In factB.As a resultC.

That is almost 1 out of every 3 people in the United States.Some people go in diet. This means they eat less of certain foods, especially fats and sugars. Other people exercise with special equipment, take diet pills, or even have surgery. Losing weight is hard work, and it can also cost a lot of money. So why do so many people in the United States want to lose weight?Many people in the United States worry about not looking young and attractive. For many people, looking good also means being thin. Other people worry about their health. Many doctors say being overweight is not healthy. But are Americans really fat?Almost 30 million Americans weigh at least 20 percent more than their ideal weight . In fact, the United States is the most overweight country in the world. “The stored fat of adult Americans weighs 2. 3 trillion (兆) pounds, ”says University of Massachusctts anthropologist (人类学家) George Armelagos. He says burning off that stored energy would produce enough power for 900,000 cars to go 12,000 miles.Losing weight is hard work, but most people want to find a fast and easy way to take off fat. Bookstores sell lots of diet books. These books tell readers how to lose weight. Each year, dozens of new books like these are written. Each one promises to get rid of fat.36.Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a way of losing weight?A.To eat less fats and sugars.B.To have surgery.C.To take much exercise.D.To work hard.37.Many Americans are trying to lose weight because ______.A. they want to look attractiveB.they only want to look youngC. they are misled by doctorsD.they are laughed at by others38.What do the figures given in the third paragraph tell us ?A.Americans are dependent on cars.B.Cars consume a lot of energy.C.Americans need to lose weight.D.Excess of fat can be a source of energy.39.What is implied in the last paragraph?A.Diet books are not always helpful.B.Diet books are usually helpful.C.There are lots of ways of losing weight.D.Bookstores are keeping their promises.40.What can be concluded from the passage?A.People think too much of their appearance.B.There is not a sure way of losing weight as yet.C.Surgery is the fastest way of losing weight.D.Going on diet is a safe way of losing weight. Passage TwoInstead of being playthings, early kites were used for military purposes. Historical records say they were large in size; some were powerful enough to carry men up in the air to observe enemy movements, and others were used to scatter some information over hostile forces.During the Tang Dynasty (618 - 907) , people began to fix on kites some bamboo (竹子) strips which, when high in the air, would ring in the wind like a zheng(a traditional Chinese musical instrument) . Since then, the popular Chinese name for the kite has become fengzheng. The kites made today in some places are fixed with silk strings or rubber bands to give out pleasant ringing in the wind.It was also believed, for instance, during the Qing Dynasty (1644 - 1911) , that flying a kite and then letting it go , apart from the pleasure in itself, might send off one’s bad luck and illness. Consequently it would bring him bad luch if one should pick up a kite lost by other people, This may be regarded as superstition (迷信) but may not be altogether without reason: think of the good it will do to a person, ill and depressed all the time, if he or she could go out into the fields and fresh air to fly a kite.Chinese kites fall into two major types: those with wings that can be taken apart and those with wings that are fixed. The former can be taken apart and packed in boxcs. Easy to carry about, they make good presents. The second type refers to those with fixed structure; they fly better and higher, given a steady wind, Classified by designs and other standards, there are no less than 300 varieties, including human figures, fish , insects, birds, animals and written Chinese characters. In size, they range from 304 meters to only 30 centimeters across.41. What is the use of silk strings or rubber bands fixed to the kites?A. To make the kites look more pleasant.B. To make the kites have strong structures.C. To make the kites produce pleasant sounds.D. To make the kites fly faster in the wind.42. Which of the following is true?A. Flying kites can bring people more fun than any other activity.B. Flying kites can cure many diseases.C. Flying kites lost by other people will definitely bring people bad luck.D. Flying kites in the fresh air can be good to people’s health.43. Which of the following is NOT believed to be the function of kites?A. Bringing people much fun.B. Helping people to enjoy wonderful music.C. Helping people to get rid of bad luck.D. Helping armies to observe enemies.44. In the past, a person might fly a kite and then let it go because he ______.A. wanted it to fly higherB. wanted it to give pleasure to other peopleC. wanted to get rid of bad luckD. wanted to let his enemies get it45. What kind of kites can fly better and higher?A. The kites whose wings can be taken apart.B. The kites whose wings can not be taken apart.C. The kites with large wings that can fly like birds.D. The kites that have large sizes and peculiar structures.Passage threeOne of Britain’s few distinctive contributions to world culture may come to an end, according to a survey that suggests holiday postcards are more and more given up because of emails and instant messages in mobile phones.More than half of the 1000 holiday- makers interviewed said they had decided to send fewer cards, turning instead to their electronic rivals. A quarter of the respondents (受调查者) regard postcards as old-fashioned and slow to arrive, A further 14% admitted that thinking of something to fill the space was too challenging, compared with a call home.Although officially invented by a Hungarian, Emanuel Herrmann, in 1869, the idea of illustrated cards was taken up with most enthusiasm in Victorian Britain, joining Gothic architecture and landscape gardening as fields for which the country was famous.“If the British postcard did disappear, we would lose for ever something of great importance to the nation, ”said Chris Mottershead of Thomson Holidays, which did the survey. He was backed by Marie Angelou of Sussex University , who has investigated the importance of sending and receiving postcards. “Postcards are nothing like phone calls, instant messages and direct photo shots via the mobile, ”she said. “All these are useful, practical devices, but postcards offer something else, something additional that is not simply functional,but imaginative and personal. They can create the real atmosphere of your holiday in a way that nothing else can do. They are also for more than a moment——with some people adding them to collections built up over years and years.”46. Who first got the idea of illustrated cards?A. Emanuel Herrmann.B. Victorian Britain.C. Chris Mottershead.D. Marie Angelou.47. The word challenging (in paragraph 2 ) probably means ______.A. interestingB. expensiveC. difficultD. dishonest48. The reason why some people refuse to give up postcards is that ______.A. it is not convenient for people to use emails nowB. it is not convenient for people to use instant messagesC. sending postcards can be more fashionableD. sending postcards can create a holiday atmosphere49. We can learn from the last paragraph that ______.A. it is necessary for people to use phone calls, instant messages and direct photo shots via the mobileB. unlike phone calls, instant messages and direct photo shots via the mobile, postcards are notfunctionalC. it is necessary for people to use postcards in spite of the convenience provided by other devicesD. postcards are completely the same as phone calls , instant messages and others50. We can infer from the passage that ______.A. postcards will disappear in a few years because of other devices of communicationB. people’s happiness in sending and receiving postcards can only last a momentC. postcard collecting might be one of the reasons why some people still like the postcardsD. without postcards, people will have less communication with othersPassage fourDespite a cooling of the economy, high-technology companies are still crying out for skilled workers. The Information Technology Association of America projects that more than 800,000 technology jobs will go unfilled next year. The lack of qualified workers poses a huge threat to theU. S. economy.The most commonly cited reason for this state of affairs is that the country’s agrarian-age(农村时代) education system fails to prepare students in the primary and secondary grades for the21st century work. Yet an inadequate and outmoded education system is only part of the problem.A less tangible (明确的) but equally powerful cause is an antique (过时的) classification systemthat divides the workforce into two camps: white-collar knowledge workers and blue-collar manual laborers.Blue-collar workers emerged in the United States during the Industrial Age as work movedfrom farms to factories. White-collar office workers became a significant class in the twentieth century, outnumbering (多于) the blue-collar workers by mid-century. Corporations increasingly require a new layer of knowledge worker: a highly skilled multi-disciplined talent , who combinesthe mind of the white-collar worker with a solid grounding in mathematics and science (physics, chemistry, and biology ) These “gold-collar ”workers——so named for their contributions totheir companies and to the economy as well as for their personal earning ability——apply their knowledge to technology.The gold-collar worker already exists in a wide range of jobs. The maintenance technician who tests and repairs aircraft systems at American Airlines; the network administrator who manages systems and network operations at Procter &Gamble（宝洁公司）; the engineering technologist who assists scientists at Sandia National Laboratories;and the advanced-manufacturing technician at Intel can all be regarded as gold-collar workers.51. What does the word “projects” in the first paragraph mean?A. ThrowsB. PredictsC. ConcludesD. Claims52. What is a gold-collar worker’s advantage over that of a blue-collar worker?A. A gold-collar worker is more skillful in technology.B. A gole-collar worker has received higher education.C. A gold-collar worker used to be a white-collar worker.D. A gold-collar worker learnt more in high school.53. How can a person be qualified as a gold-collar worker?A. He must continue to learn and work hard in his career.B. He must have the knowledge of more than one subject.C. He can make a skillful use of his wisdom and his knowledge.D. He can earn more than a blue-collar worker does.54. It can be inferred from the passage that the first group of blue-collar workers were most likelyto be________.A. migrantsB. educatorsC. servantsD. farmers55. What has contributed much to America’s lack of qualified skilled workers?A. The outdated education system.B. The current new classification of workforce.C. The fact that most American workers are illiterates.D. The fact that the blue-collar workers are not used to the factory work.Part III Cloze (10%)The person who can see a ship without some feeling of excitement must have very little imagination. Even the idea of leaving the solid land 56 most of us were born and brought 57 ,and going out on to the ever-moving waters must arouse 58 some feelings of strangeness. We may remember stories of terrible storms, with waves 59 mountains, and of people from ships which have sunk 60 weeks in small boats hundreds of miles from land. But we have also 61 joy of traveling on calm seas under blue 62 , and of the 63 excitement of coming to a new beautiful land which we have seen only in pictures before.64 ships are not , of course, made chiefly for pleasure: their biggest use is in carrying goods from country to country. 65 , ships can carry more goods than 66 means of transport, and can 67 .so more cheaply. If ships 68 , the British government would not be able to feed 69 people.Ships also have made 70 to discover more and more distant parts of our world. 71 is known to all, Columbus used a ship to discover America about 500 years ago . And 72 , ships are used for exploring the Antarctic. 73 would, in fact, not be 74 to say that ships have for thousands of years 75 one of the most important parts in shaping society.56.A.by which B.from which C.on which D.for which57.A.forth B.up C.out D.about all B.all of us C.in us all D.for us all59.A.as high B.as higher as C.higher as D.as high as60.A.spending B.to spend C.spend D.spent61.A.heard with B.heard of C.heard by D.heard from62.A.waters B.covers C.skies D.levels63.A.unbelievable B.uncountable C.uncomfortable D.unforgettable64.A.Moreover B.Instead C.Thus D.But65.A.In fact B.As a result C.
