Part IIReading Comprehension (35minutes, 40 points) Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. Each of the passages is followed by 5 questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Choosethe best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the centre.Passage OneConcerning money or anything else, conflicts between husband and wife usually reflect a power struggle. Conflicts between parent and child often centre around the same issue. As children enter adolescence, they begin to demand greater freedom to go where they please, do what they please,and make decisionswithout parental interference. Many American parents do not know how to deal with their teenagers and seek advice from books, lectures, and parent training courses. Parents want to maintain a friendly relationship with their teenagers and also want to guide them so that their behavior will be whatever the parents consider proper andconstructive.But in a society of rapidly changing social and moral values, parents and children often disagree about what is important and what is right.Arguments may concern such unimportant matters as styles of dress or hairdos. But quarrels may also concern school work, after school jobs, decisions,use of the family car, dating, and sex behavior. Some families have serious problems with teenagers who drop out of school, run away from home, or use illegal drugs. Because so much publicity is given to the problem teenager, one gets the impression that all teenagers are troublemakers. Actually, relatively few adolescents do anything wrong, and nearly all grow up into "solid citizens" w ho fulfill most of their parents’ expectations. In fact, recent studies show that the "generation gap" is narrowing. The vast majority of teenagers share most of their parents’ values and ideas. Many parents feel that they get along with their adolescents quite well.11. According to the writer, conflicts between husband and wife usually reflect__________.A. feeling of hatredB. power straggleC. that they don't care for each otherD. that they may appeal to divorce12.

Food is weightless, just as men are.Food for space has to be packed in special ways. Some of it goes into tubes that a man can squeeze into his mouth. Bite-sized cookies are packed in plastic. .There is a good reason for covering each bite. The plastic keeps pieces of food from travelling in the spaceship. On the earth very small pieces of food would simply fall to the floor. But gravity doesn't pull them to the floor when they are out of the plastic in a spaceship. They move here and there and can get into a man's eyes or into the spaceship’s instruments. If any of the instruments is blocked, the astronauts may have trouble getting safely home.As astronauts travel on longer space trips, he must take time to sleep. An astronaut can fit himself to his seat witha kind of seat belt. Or, if he wants to, he can sleep in a sleeping bag which is fixed in place under his seat. But be careful he must put his hands under the belt when he goes to .sleep. This is because he is really afraid that he might touch one of controls that isn't supposed to be touched until later.16. Why would astronauts cover each bite of food in space?A. Because small pieces of food would fall down to the floor.B. Because weightless pieces of food might make trouble when they travel around.C.

How Astronauts Sleep in SpacePassage ThreeThe Chinese have used a method called acupuncture (针灸) to perform operations for about4,000 years without putting the patient to sleep. This involves placing flexible needles into certain parts of the body. The needles are available in a number of stores in China and anyone may buy them.To learn how to use the needles takes about one month of training. But to be skillful requires greater time. The person who performs the acupuncture knows how to put in the needles so the needles themselves are not painful. This person alsoknows where to place the needles so the patient feels no pain in the area where the operation is to be performed. A particular operation might require 25 or more needles placed in various parts of the body. But now this operation requires only 3 or 4 needles.Today, the Chinese doctors are trying to learn more about acupuncture. They are trying to develop a convincing theory to explain how the needles work in preventing pain, or why a needle in the wrist, for example, would prevent the pain in the area of the mouth,A patient who needs an operation is given a choice between having acupuncture or having one of the chemicals used for putting him to sleep. It has been estimated that over half of the patients choose acupuncture because there is no sickness after the operation but the chemical may make the patient sick for a few hours or a day.21.

It can be learned from the passage that__________.A. the person performing the acupuncture knows a lot about the making of needlesB. an operation now needs fewer needles than in the pastC. acupuncture has existed in China for as long as 2,000 yearsD. few patients prefer acupuncture to chemicals25.

The Chinese have spread acupuncture all over the world.D. Most Chinese patients prefer acupuncture to chemicals in curing diseases.Passage FourSpending 50 minutes with a cell phone close to your ear is enough to change brain cell activity in the part of the brain closest to the antenna (天线). But whether that causes any harm is not clear, scientists at the National Institute of Health said at a conference last month, adding that the study will not likely settle concerns of a link between cell phones and brain cancer. "What we showed is glucose(葡萄糖) metabolism(代谢)(a sign of brain activity) increases in the brain in people who were exposed to a cell phone in the area closest to the antenna," said Dr. Nora Volkow of the NIH, whose study was published in the Journal of the American Medical Association. The study was meant to examine how thebrain reacts to electromagnetic fields caused by wireless phone signals.Volkow said she was surprised that the weak electromagnetic radiation (电磁辐射) from cell phones could affect brain activity, but she said the findings, do not shed any light on whether cell phones cause cancer. "This study does not in any way indicate that. What the study does is to show the human brain is sensitive to electromagnetic radiation from cell phone exposures. " Use of the devices has increased dramatically since they were introduced in the early 1955s, with about 5 billion cell phones now in use worldwide.Some studies have linked cell phone exposure to an increased risk of brain cancers, but a large study by the World Health Organization did not offer a clear answer to this. Volkow’s team studied 47 people who had their brain examined while a cell phone was turned on for 50 minutes and another while the phone was turned off. While there was no complalete change in brain metabolisthey found a 7 percent increase in brain metabolism in the region closest to the cell: phone antenna when the phone was on.Experts said the results were interesting, but urged thatthey be understood with great care. " Al-though the biological significance, if any, of increased glucose metabolism from too much cell phone exposure is unknown, the results require further investigation," Henry Lai of the University of Washington in the U. S. and Dr. Lennart Hardell of University Hospital in Sweden, wrote in an article in JA-MA. "Much has to be done to further investigate and understand these effects." They wrote.26. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?A. Cell phone use is dangerous.B. Cell phone use causes cancer.C. The human brain is an electromagnetic field.D. There are about 5 billion cell phone users in the world right now.27. Doctor Volkow was astonished because__________.A. her research has shed light on her understanding of cell phoneB. she found that cell phone exposure is harmful to human brainC. she found that using a cell phone for about 50 minutes could influence or change brain activityD. human brain is not responsive to electromagneticradiation28. According to the passage, cell phones were launched__________.A. in the late 1970sB. between 1955 and 1960C. in the late 1955sD. in the early 1990s29. What does the word "that" stand for in the second paragraph?A. Brain activity.B. Her research findings.C. The fact that cell phone use may cause cancer.D. Her research progress.30.

For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose thebest one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.Passage OneHow much do you know about nutrition? If your knowledge is similar to that of food shoppers who answered three surveys for the U. S. Food and Drug Administration, then you probably sharesome wide-spread misinformation about nutrition. Check your answers to the following statements.Is it true or false?Statement 1: Fresh vegetables cooked at home are always more nutritious than canned or frozen vegetables. False. The nutritional difference depends more on how vegetables are handled orprepared than in whether they are bought fresh or packaged. Overcooking, for example, destroysmany nutrients. Vegetables cooked in too much water can lose a significant amount of vitamins. Statement 2: When dieting, avoid starchy( 淀粉类 ) foods, such as bread or potatoes. False. If youcut out starchy foods, such as peas, potatoes, bread, and rice, you cut out very good sources ofseveral B vitamins, Vitamin C, and other nutrients. Moreover, ounce for ounce, bread and potatoeshave fewer calories than sirloin steak and roast beef.Statement 3: Taking extra vitamins beyond the recommended daily allowances won’ givet youmore energy. True. It’ s widely believed that extra vitamins provide more yenerg.But taking morethan the body needs doesn't make it function better, just as overfilling your gas tank doesnyour car run faster.If you answered these questions correctly, you can for the time being consider yourself wellinformed about food and nutrition by today’ s standards. But remember that nutrition is a complex and growing science and that today ’beliefs may be changed as new information becomes available.16.The first paragraph implies that many people __________.A. are well informed about nutritionB. don ’ t care about nutritionC. have much knowledge of nutritionD. have incorrect ideas about nutrition17.According to paragraph 2, which is NOT true about nutrition?A.

Misleading Nutrition ConceptsPassage TwoMost women in Ghana--the educated and illiterate, the urban and rural, the young and old--workto earn an income in addition to maintaining their roles as housewives and mothers. Their reputation for economic independence, self-reliance, and hard work is well known and well deserved.Most of Ghana ’ s working women are farmers and traders. Only one woman in five, or even fewer, can be classified as simply housewives. Even these women often earn money by sewing or by baking and cooking things to sell. They also maintain vegetable gardens and chicken farms. Indeed, the woman who depends entirely upon her husband for support is looked upon with disfavor. Traditionally the tasks of motherhood have been shared. Mothers and sisters, grandmothers and nieces all helped to raise the children and to carry out daily tasks. As the family grew, older brothers and sisters also helped to care for the younger ones and helped in the home. Now with more children going to school, with more people moving away from their traditional homes, not only must the mother continue her income-producing activities, but she must take on all the heavy, time-consuming housework.Ghana today is looking for new ways to meet the needs of women and their families, such as providing more day care centers, so women can continue to play their multiple roles in the homeand in the economy.21.What is the role of most women in Ghana?A. Handling various housework at home.B. Taking care of children indoors.C.Farming and trading out of house.D. Working as well as maintaining families.22.“ self-reliance” could be explained as“ __________”.A. making great wealthB. depending on oneselfC. caring for one’ s ownD. being a reliable person23.What kind of women do people in Ghana prefer?A. Beautiful and charming.B. Skillful at sewing or baking.C. Depending totally on husbands.D. Working hard to earn incomes.24.Paragraph 3 describes__________.A.how traditional extended families operateB.why women in Ghana have more burdens nowC.how changes in life help the working womenD. the new life style of Ghana’ s people25.The author of this article probably agrees that womenin Ghana should__________.A.stay at home and focus on family lifeB.become as active as men in businessC.try to maintain their original rolesD.make a choice and stick to one rolePassage ThreeThe blues was born on the Mississippi River Delta in the early 1900s. After the Civil War, the slaves were free but life was still not easy. They had to find new work. In the South, work camps were formed. Black people from these camps worked on farms and on building up the Mississippi River banks. During the week the people worked long and hard. They often lived alone, without their families, far from home. On the weekends, the workers got together at picnics or drinking places. Travelling black musicians with guitars entertained them. The musicians sang songs about the difficult life of the workers. These songs were called the blues.If you have the blues it means you feel very sad. You can have the blues because you have no money, no job, no lover, or no home. But blue songs were not always sad. Some of them were happy and many of them were funny.Sometimes the blues singers had song contests. Each singer sang new words or a new style ofthe blues song. They made up the music as they played.

To be a good teacher, you need some of the gifts of a good actor: you must be able to 62 the attention and interest of your students: you must be a 63 speaker, with a good, strong, 64 voice which is fully under your control: and you must be able to 65 what you are teaching in order to make its meaning clear. 66 a good teacher and you will see that he does not sit still 67 his class: he stands the whole time when he is teaching; he walks about, using his 68 , hands and fingers to help him in his explanations, and his face to express feelings. Listen to him, and you will 69 the loudness, the quality and the musical note of his voice always 70 according to what he is 71 about. The fact that a good teacher has some of the gifts of a good actor doesn't 72 that he will indeed be able to act 73 on the stage, for there are very important 74 between the teacher's work and the actor's. The actor has to speak words which he has learnt by heart' he has to repeat exactly the 75 words each time he plays a certain part; 76 his movements and the ways in which he uses his voice are usually 77 beforehand. What he has to do is to make all these carefully learnt words and actions seem 78 on the stage.A good teacher 79 in quite a different way. His students take <img border=0 src=../im2/8890_4.gif alt=> his 80 : they ask and answer questions; they obey orders; and if they don't understand something, they will say so. The teacher therefore has to suit his act to the needs of his students. He cannot learn his part by heart, but must 81 it as he goes along.要成为一个好教师，你需要一些好演员的天赋：你必须能够以62的关注和你的学生的兴趣：你必须是一个63个扬声器，一个良好的，强大的，64的声音完全在你的控制之下：你必须能够65你教的是什么为了明确其含义。

At this stage nearly all the teachers are women, Mostly married. (80) The atmosphere is usually very friendly, and the teachers have now accepted the idea that the important thing is to make the children happy and interested. The old authoritarian (要绝对服从的) methods of education were discredited (不被认可) rather a long time ago - so much so that many people now think that they have gone too far in the direction of trying to make children happy and interested rather than gibing them actual instruction.The social education of young children tries to make them accept the idea that human beings in a society need to work together for their common good. So the emphasis is on co-operation rather than competition throughout most of this process. This may seem curious, in view of the fact that American society is highly competitive; however, the need for making people sociable in this sense has come to be regarded as one of the functions of education. Most Americans do grow up with competitive ideas, and obviously quite a few as criminals, but it is not fair to say that the educational system fails. Ti probably does succeed in making most people sociable and ready to help one another both in material ways and through kindness and friendliness.11. According to the passage, the U.S. elementary education is supposed to make children _____.A. sensible and sensitiveB. competitive and interestedC. curious and friendlyD. happy and co-operative12.

This is particularly true 56 women, and even more than 57 if the inquirer is a man.However, it is very 58 to ask children their age, and some adults may not mind 59 either. In fact, some elderly people are quite happy to 60 their age, especially if they feel they look young 61 their age. Nevertheless, it is not very wise to ask a(n) 62 question like "How old are you?". If elderly people want to talk about their age, and perhaps receive a compliment on how young they look, they may easily 63 the topic themselves, and ask the other person to 64 how old they are. 65 such a question, it is quite acceptable to discuss age 66 . They normally expect to be complimented on their youthfulness, though rather than 67 that they look very old!68 Westerners do not usually ask people directly how old they are, this does not69 that they are not interested to know how old other people are. They may ask someone else 70 the information, 71 they may try to 72 the topic indirectly.

These sentences are all taken from the 3 passages you have just read in the part of Reading Comprehension. You can refer back to the passages so as to identify their meanings in the context.76.

The scientists say that those gestures, movements and so on have meaning which words do not carry.79. The length of time that the person whom you are speaking to looks at your eyes indicates the mount of interest he has in the things you are talking about.80. The atmosphere is usually very friendly, and the teachers have now accepted the idea that the important thing is to make the children happy and interested.Section BDirections: In this part there are five sentences in Chinese. You should translate them into English. Be sure to write clearly.81．同意这项建议的请举手。

fifties and would expect.to live a further twenty years, during which custom, opportunity and health made it unusual for her to get paid work.Today women marry younger and have fewer ually a woman 's youngest child will be fifteen when she is forty-five years old and is likely to take paid work until retirement at sixty.Even while she has the care of children, her work is lightened by household

A.This sort of thing is quite mon.B.It makes no difference to a child.C.It’s nothing to be surprised at .D.It may hurt the girl’s feelings.22.In the second paragraph “the father…had his way” means ________.A.the father went out to work B.the father made his own decision C.the father left his daughter alone D.the father did what he wanted 23.Which of the following sentences may best reflect the girl’s attitude toward her father? A.“A man came to the door this morning.” B.“He was a nice man, much nicer than Robert.” C.“After all, that leaves you with nine.” D.“I gave him four of your books.” 24.What does the writer think of the father? A.He was very strict with his daughter.B.He was too proud to listen to his daughter.C.As a child psychologist, he didn’t understand his daughter’s psychology very well.D.As a father, he showed little care for his daughter.25.This short story tells us that ________.A.failure is the mother of success B.what you do not wish done to yourself, do not doto others C.we should put others first and ourselves last D.everything is hard in the beginning Passage 2 What is e_actly a lie? Is it anything we say which we know is untrue? Or is it something more than that? For e_le, suppose a friend wants to borrow some money from you, you say: I wi sh I could help you but I’m short of money myself.In fact, you are not short of money, but your friend is in the habit of not paying his debts and you don’t want to hurt his feelings by reminding him of this.Is this really a lie? A scientific study of lying shows women are better liars than men, particularlywhen telling a “white lie” such as when a woman at a party tells another woman that she likes her dress when she really thinks it looks terrible.However, this is only one side of the story.Other researches show that men are more likely to tell more serious lies, such as making a promise which they have no intention of fulfilling.This is the kind of lie politicians and businessmen are supposed to be particularly skilled at: the lie from which the liar hopes to profit or gain in some way.Research has also been done into the way people’s behavior changes in a number of small, apparently unimportant ways when they lie.It has been found that if they are sitting down at the same time, they tend to move about in their chairs more than usual.To the trained observer they are saying I wish I were somewhere else now.26.This passage tells us that ________.A.telling lies is often necessary in order to avoid being defeated B.telling lies is often bad because people ought not to be dishonest C.telling lies is sometimes necessary in order not to hurt someone else’s feelings D.telling lies is not bad at all in most cases 27.In Paragraph 2, the sentence “Women are better liars than men do.” probably mea ns ________.A.women are better at telling lies than men B.women liars are better accepted than men C.women have a better intention when telling lies D.women tell fewer lies than men do 28.A “white lie” means ________.A.a lie that is pletely unbelievable B.a lie that is told with a good will C.a lie that is always believable D.a lie that often has an evil purpose 29.Politicians and businessmen are supposed to be skilled at telling the kind of lies ________.A.from which they may gain some advantages B.that seems to be believable C.that women are most likely to believe D.with which they can have better relationship with others 30.It can be concluded from the passage that ________.A.there is a simple way of finding out if someone is lying B.from some ways people behave we can know they are lying C.certain emotions are proof of lying D.in some situations women are most likely to think businessmen are dishonest Passage 3 Life reallyshould be one long journey of joy for children born with a world of wealth at their feet.Internationally famous child doctor Robert Colesis the world’s top e_pert on the influence of money on children.He has written a well-known book on the subject, “The Privileged Ones”, and his resea rch shows that too much money in the family can cause as many problems as too little.“Obviously there are certain advantages to being rich,” says the 33-year-old doctor, “such as better health, education and future work prospects.But the most important is the quality of family life.Money can’t buy love.” It can buy a lot of other things, however, and that’s where the trouble starts.Rich kids have so much to choose from that they often bee confused.Over-indulgence by their parents can make them spoilt.They tend to travel more than other children, from home to home and country to country, which causes feelings of restlessness.“But privileged children do have a better senseof their positions in the world,” adds Mr.Coles, “and they are more self-assured.” Therich children inherit the property from their parents and enjoy a high ine.So money will never be one of their problems.“However they will have a sense of isolation”, warns Dr Coles, “and they could suffer from the hardship of not being able to deal with the everyday world because they will never really be given the chance.Everything they have achieved is because of an accident of birth.There can be no tremendous inner satisfaction about that.” Today’s wealthy parents perhapsrealize their riches can be more of a heavy load than a happiness to their children.So the first thing for them to consider is to ensure that their families are as rich in love as they are in money.31.In his book “The Privileged Ones,” Dr Coles implies that _______.A.there are fewer problems in the rich family than the poor family B.rich children live a life of separation from the world C.rich children usually enjoy more love than poor children D.the quality of rich children’s family life may not be high 32.In the doctor’s view, _______.A.there are both advantages and disadvantages to being rich B.traveling a lot will be beneficial to children C.rich children usually have little confidence in themselves D.rich kids are often short of money because of their life of lu_ury 33.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A.Rich children usually lead a life of happiness.B.Rich children have earned what they have.C.Rich children tend to feel isolated.D.Rich children are hardly given too many material things.34.According to the author of the passage, _______.A.life is really a long journey of joy for rich children B.the rich children feel greatly satisfied with the property they inherit from their parents C.it is most important for wealth parents to make sure that their families are rich in love as well as in money D.today all the wealthy parents are sure of the problems their money can bring 35.It seems that the author of the passage _______what Dr.Coles says in the book “The Privileged Ones”.A.knows little about B.is doubtful about C.is opposed to D.agrees with Passage 4 Very old people do raise moral problems for almost everyone who es into contact with them.Their values —this can’t be repea ted too often — are not necessarily our values.Physical fort, cleanness and order are not necessarily the most important things.The social services from time to time find themselves faced with a flat with decaying(腐烂) food covered by small worms, and an old person lying alone on bed, taking no notice of the worms.But is it interfering with personal freedom to insist that they go to live with some of their relatives so that they might be taken better care of? Some social workers, the ones who clear up the worms, think we are in danger of carrying this concept of personal freedom to the point where serious risks are being taken with the health and safety of the old.Indeed the old can be easily hurt or harmed.The body is like a car.It needs more mechanical maintenance as it gets older.You can carry this parison right through to the provision of spare parts.But never forget that such operations are painful e_periences, however good the results.And at what point should you cease to treat theold body? Is it morally right to try to push off death by continuing the development of drugs to e_cite the forgetful old mind and to make the old body active, knowing that it is designed to die? You cannot ask doctors or scientists to decide, because so long asthey can see the technical opportunities, they willfeel bound to give them a try, on the principle that while there’s life, there’s hope.When you talk to the old people, however, you are forced to the conclusion that whether age is happy or unpleasant depends less on money or on health than it does on your ability to have fun.36.It is implied in Paragraph 1 that ______.A.very old people enjoy living with their relatives B.social services have nothing to do with very old people C.very old people would like to live alone so that they can have more personal freedom D.very old people are able to keep their rooms very clean 37.Some social workers think that _______.A.health and safety are more important than personal freedom B.personal freedom is more important than health and safety C.old people should keep their rooms clean D.one should not take risks dealing with old people 38.In the author’s opinion, ______.A.the human body can’t be pared to a car B.the older a person is, the more care he needs C.too much emphasis has been put on old people’s values D.it is easy to provide spare parts for old people 39.The word “it” in the last paragraph refers to_______.A.the conclusion you have e to B.whether age is happy or unpleasant C.your talk to the old people D.one’s money or one’s health 40.The author thinks that _______.A.medical decisions for old people should be left to the doctors B.old people can enjoy a happy life only if they are very rich C.the opinion that we should try every meanspossible to save old people is doubtful D.it is always morally right to treat old people and push off death Part III Cloze (10 points) Directions: There are 10 blanks in the following passage.For each blanks there are four choices marked A, B, C and D, you should choose one that best fits into the passage.Then mark the answer by blanking the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a pencil.A daily dose of laughter may be good for the heart because, like e_ercise, it makes blood vessels work more efficiently.Depression, 41 the other hand, can raise therisk of dying from heart

vascular system,“ said Dr.Michael Miller.Miller and colleagues at the school 46 two movies, one humorous, 47 stressful, to 20 healthy volunteers and tested the function of their blood vessels.The researchers specifically looked at the endothelium, the lining of the vessels, and found thatblood 48 was reduced in 14 of the 20 volunteers after stressful movie cuttings.But blood flowed more freely

D.lowered Part IV Translate from English to Chinese (20 points) Directions: Read the following passage and translate the 5 parts underlined in the following passage from English into Chinese and write them on the Translation Paper.Not all memories are sweet.Some people spend all their lives trying to forget bad e_periences.Violence and traffic accidents can leave peoplewith terrible physical and emotional scars.Often they relive these e_periences innightmares(噩梦).(51)Now American researchers think they are closeto developing a pill, which will help people forgetbad memories.The pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening e_perience.They hope it might reduce, or possibly erase(抹去), the effect of painful memories.In November, e_perts tested a drug on people inthe US and France.The drug stops the body releasing chemicals thatfi_ memories in the brain.(52) So far the research has suggested that only the emotional effects of memories may be reduced, not that the memories are erased.The research has caused a great deal of argument.Some think it is a bad idea, while others support it.(53)Supporters say it could lead to pills that prevent or treat soldiers’ troubling memories after war.They say that there are many people who suffer from terrible memories.“Some memories can ruin people’s lives.They e back to you when you don’t want to have them in a daydream or nightmare.They usually e with very painful emotions.” said Roger Pitman, a professor of psychiatry at Harvard MedicalSchool.“This could relieve a lot of that suffering.” (54)But those who are against the research say that it is very dangerous to change memories because memories give us our identity.They also help us all avoid the mistakes of the past.(55)“All of us can think of bad events in our lives that were horrible at the time but make us who we are.I’m not sure we want to wipe those memorie s out,” said Rebecca Dresser, a medical ethicist.Part V Writing (30 points) For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a position on the topic: Positive and Negative Effects of puter.Write at least 100 words and base your position on the outline below and use the words

Fox example, the number of elephants killed illegally in Africa has fallen sharply.89 Thousand were killed in 1983.46 thousand were killed one year later.This happened because African countries agreed to establish export limits on ivory from elephants. Ivory is the hard white. Material that forms an elephant’s two long teeth, or tusks Countries that import ivory are refusing to accept ivory shipments that do not have legal export documents.The Convention on Intentioned Trade in Endangered Species in a treaty signed by 91 nations led to the program for saving endangered elephants. In Africa, successful efforts also have been made in protecting Africa’s endangered mountain gorillas. Almost 400 of the gorillas survive in a volcano area on the border of Rwanda, Uganda and Zaire. The mountain gorillas have remained about the same for 15 years. This happened partly. Because Rwanda developed an important business that depends on protecting the gorillas. Visitors. There can pay to get close to watch the gorillas in the animals traditional home area.Another successful programs to take endangered animals olla of their natural homes. The animals are put into zoos or Dither protected areas where they can reproduce in safety The goal of many of these programs is to produce enough animals to putback into the wild.1 what is the best title for this passage? Successful Programs of Saving the Wild2 The number of elephants killed illegally in Africa has decreased greatly intact3 In Africa, the number of elephants killed illegally in 1983 and 1984 was 89 thousand 46 thousand4 The number of mountain gorillas has remained about the same for marry years partly because of an important business depends on protecting the gorillas5 The phrase “the wild” in paragraph 5 refers to outdoorsCharlie chaplin has broken all records in making people laugh no one has so set a whole world laughing as the little man with the walking stick and the overlarge shoes.Much has been written about chapl in’s art and his career, and opinions have ranged widely. But perhaps those who called him “the most general human being of our time” came closest to the truth. Those who have called him a genius stress the timeless and common qualities in his work, it is an art filled with sad elements and deep human feeling, with which an audience cannot help but become involved. It is for these reasons, I believe, that th figure of Charlie has attracted generation after generation.All the writers who give accounts of ch aplin’s life agree that charlie’s unhappy early years in the area in London where houses were dirty and worn had a great influence on his development and on the type of films he made, chaplin himself emphasizes it in his memoirs(回忆录), the more one reads about his earliest period, the more on tends to agree indeed, his suffering youth had a lasting influence on him.Chaplin was never afraid to deal with subjects causing much disagreement in his films, he gave a humorous performance on war only a few weeks before the American soldiers came home from world war I in 1918, this was regarded as madness, but the performance was well received. So perfectly did it hit the mail on the head that even the returning soldiers found it impossible to hate it and deeply appreciated this short and humorous performance on what for them had been unpleasant reality. Chaplin gave numerous performances attacking capital governments, satirizing(讽刺) the cruelty of the machine age and even making fun of Hitler.Years after his death, the funny films of motion picture actor and director Charlie chaplin continue to be popular. He is particularly well known for his success as a creator of humorous presentations that make fun of people, the establishment, or networks.1 all of the following about Charlie chaplin are true excepta he was born in the USAb he was a great film actorc he had an unhappy early life d he made fun of Hitler in his films2 according to the author, Charlie chaplin has been popular with generation after generation becausea he set the whole world laughingb his performances get people involvedc his works appeal to people in different periodsd both B and C3 according to Charlie chaplin’s life history writers, had a strong influence on the type of films he made.a the society in which he livedb the audience who praised and admired himc those who called him a genius d his unhappy early years in the poor area in London4 according to the passage, which of the following true?a there are timeless qualities in chaplins work because he didn’t involve himself in political affairs.B chaplin became popular years after his death.C chaplin’s performance is funny without any sad elementsD chaplin’s films are the combinations of funny and sad elements5 this passage wasa written by Charlie chaplinb written about Charlie chaplinC advertising one of Charli e chaplin’s filmsD written for students to learn film-making参考答案：ABDDB“the more you learn, the more you earn,”said the pop singer Cyndi lauper as she accepted her high school diploma at the age of 35. in the USA today, about 75% of jobs require some education or technical training beyond high school. The lowest wage earners in the USA are those without high school degrees, college graduates out-earn those without a college education, people with master’s degrees out-earn those with only bachelor’s, and the highest incomes of all are earned by people with advanced academic degrees. These facts explain why mo st of young Americans go to college. But more diplomas don’t always mean more money. Many skilled blue-collar workers, salespeople, and business executives out-earn college professors and scientist. And great athletes and actors out- earn everyone else!But college education is not only preparation for a career, it is also (or should be) preparation for life. In addition to courses in their major field of study, most students have time to take elective course. They may take classes that help them understand more about human nature, government, the arts, or sciences.Today, more than half of American high school graduates go to college. But recently high school graduates no longer dominate the college campuses. Today, it is quite common for adults of all ages to come back to college for personal growth. Now about half of all the American college students are older than 25, and 20% of them are over 35.For Americans, to receive college education is very important. This is proved by the rising number of Americans who have at least a bachelor’s degree. About 20% of Americans are college graduates, however, among younger adults and working people, the percentage is at least 25%, much higher than in most other major nations, in the USA, college education is not regarded as privilege for the wealthy or the academically talented. In fact everyone who wants to go to college can do so.1many young Americans want to go to college becauseA their parents have a lot of money and can afford all their expensesB they can get higher income with higher degreesC college life is more interesting and attractive than high school lifeD they think it as a waste of their talents if they don’t receive college education2 it could be concluded from the second paragraph thatA college graduates earn more money than those people without college degreesB going to college is the dream of all the American peopleC college education can make a student understand a lot about the world around himD students will become more self-confident if they go to college3 when the students study in college, they canA take some courses that they are majoring inB take some elective coursesC take some courses that they are interested inD do all of the above4 in America, the percentage of college graduates among working people isA the same as in most other major nationsB much higher than in most other major nationsC much lower than in most other major nationsD not mentioned in the passage5 which of the following can most probably be inferred from the passage?A in the past, high school graduates account for the majority of college studentsB all of the Americans have realized the importance of receiving a college educationC today, most of Americans have at least a bachelor’s degree.D if you have more diplomas, you will surely earn more money than other people.参考答案：BCDBBIf you want to keep young, sit down and have a good think, this is the research finding of a team of Japanese doctors, who say that most of our brains are not getting enough exercise, and as a result, we are getting old soon.Professor taiju matsuzawa at Tokyo national university wanted to find out why quite he althy fanners in northern Japan appeared to be losing their ability to think and reason at rather early age, and how the speed of getting old could be slowed down. With a team of researchers, he set about measuring brain volumes of a thousand people of different ages and different jobsComputer technology enabled the researchers to get most exact measurements of the volume of the front and side parts of the brain, which have something to do with intellect and feelings, and decide the human character. As we all know, the back part of the brain, which controls tasks like eating and breathing, does not contract with age.Contraction of front and side parts as cells die off was seen 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 a simple way to prevent 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 with least possibility.” Said matsuzawa, “are lawyers, followed by university professors and doctors. White collar workers doing the same work day after day in government offices are, however, as likely to have contracting brains as the farm workers, bus drivers and shop assistants”1 the team of doctors wanted to find outA the size of some people’s brainB why some people age sooner than othersC what kind of people are very cleverD how to make people live longer2 the front and side parts of the brain relate to all of the following aspects EXCEPTa mental abilityb emotionc characterd eating and breathing3 the word “subjects”(in paragraph 4) most probably refers toA persons or things that are being discussed or consideredB persons chosen to be studied in an experimentC branches of knowledge studied in a schoolD words in a sentence about which something is stated4 according to the research findings, which kind of people seems to age most quickly?A doctors b lawyers c teachers d farm workers5 which of the following sentences is NOT mentioned in the passage?A professor matsuzawa suggested that people should use their brains more often because thinking can stop the brain from contractionB the research findings are based on the study of the brain sizes of different peopleC the team of doctors made these tests in order to show how the brain worksD the professor’s tests prove that old people’s brains have contracted more quickly than other young people参考答案：BDBDC。

S. government passed a law, which said that theland of the American Indians could never be takenfrom them without their.agreem en t. :O. n e hundred. years later,however, the Indians only had a very small part of the land that originally belonged to them. How did this great injustice occur?After 1812 white settlers began to move west across North America At first, the set-tlers and the Indians lived in peace. However; the number of settlers increased greatly ev- ery year. and slowly the Indians began to see the white settlers as a danger to their surmv-al. To feed themselves, the settlers killed more and more wild animals. The Indians, who depended on these animals for food, had to struggle against starvatiorx The settlers also brought with them many diseases which were common in white society, but which were new for'the Indians. Great numbers of Indians became sick and died. Between 1843 and 1854 the Indian population in one area of the country went down from 100, 000 t0 30,000.More land was needed for the increasing number of white settlers. In Washington, the old respect for the rights of the Indians disappeared. The old promises to the Indians were broken; the federal governm ent began to move groups of Indians from their original home-lands' to other poorer parts of the country. Some Indians reacted angrily and violently to this treatment. They began to attack white settlers, and the Indian Wars began. For thirty years, until the late 1880s, different groups of Indians fought against the injustices of the white man* They had a few famous successes~ but the result of the struggle was never in doubt. There were too many white soldiers, and they' were too powerful. Many Indians were killed; the survivors were moved from their homelands to different areas of the coun-try. It was a terrible chapter in the history of a country that promised freedom and equality to everyone.16. It is implied in the passage that _ DA. the Indians had many great successes in the Indian WarsB. the Indians had no doubt that they would win the WarsC. the result of the struggle was that the In'dians stayed where they were beforeD. it was quite obvious that the Indians were too weak to win the struggle17.

The government began to ignore the rights of the Indians.C. The government never had any respect for the rights of the Indians.D. The government thought the Indians were not worth respecting.18. What is the writer's opinion about the treatment that the Indians received from the U. S. government?（C）A. He believes that the government always respected the rights of the Indians.B. He believes that the government cannot be criticized for its treatment-of the In- dians.C. He believes that the government treated the Indians unjustly.D. He believes that the government's unfair treatment against the Indians was not on purpose.19. Why did American Indians begin to see the white settlers as a danger to them?（A）A. The settlers killed the animals, which the Indians needed for food.B. The settlers did not obey the laws passed by the U. S. government.C.

They listened to the government and moved to new areas.Passage TwoScientists recently revealed an instinct in which women are not affected by the ad- vances of' technology. They made a series of experiments and observations to determine on which side women hold their babies and why.First they determined that modern mothers tend to hold their baby on the left. Of 155 right-handed mothers, 83% held the baby on the left. And out of 32 left-handed mothers, 78% held the baby on the left. As a control, women were watched emerging from super- markets carrying baby-sized packages; the bundles were held with no side preference (偏爱).A large number of mothers who brought their premature babies to a follow-up clinic were seen to hold their babies against their right side. So, 155 mothers who had been sepa- rated from their babies for 24 hours right after birth were observed for holding response. The experimenters presented the baby directly to the mid-line of the mother's body, and noted that 53% placed the baby on the left and 47% on the right. The author suggests "the time immediately after birth is a critical period when the stimulus of holding the baby releases a certain maternal response. " That is to say, she senses that the baby is better off on her left. Left-handed holding enables the baby to hear the heartbeat, a sound associated with the security of the womb. In order to discover whether hearing the heartbeat has a beneficial effect on the baby, the sound of a human heartbeat was played t0 102 babies in a nursery for 4 days. A control group of babies was not exposed to heartbeats. The babies in the experiment group gained more weight and cried far less than the babies in the control group.21. Who did not show side preference for holding babies?(B)A. The mothers who had divorced from their husbands.B. The mothers who had been separated from their babies for 24 hours after birth.C. The mothers whose babies had been placed in control groups.D. The mothers who had lived a luxurious life.22. According to the passage, the time right after birth is importantbecause_ DA. the mother can hear the baby's heartbeat in that periodB the mother is ready at all times to satisfy the baby's needsC. the baby can hear the mother's heartbeatD. the mother has an instinctive tendency to hold the baby on the left23. Why did the scientists watch women coming out of supermarkets?(A)A. To see if they carried parcels and babies differently.B. To see how they carried their babies.C. To determine what they had bought in the supermarkets.D. To determine whether they were right-handed or left-handed.24. In the experiment mentioned in the last paragraph, 102 babies were_ CA. not exposed to heartbeatsB. placed-in a control groupC. exposed to heartbeatsD. looked after by their mothers25. Who tend to hold their babies on the left according to the experiment?(C)A Left-handed women.B. Right-handed womenC. Both right-handed mothers and left-handed mothers.D. Women who hold parcels on the left.Passage ThreeSo long as teachers fail to distinguish between "teaching" and "1earningn, they will continue to undertake to do for children that which onl'y children can do for themselves. Teachingchildren to rea.d is not passing reading on to them 'It is dertairily not endless hours spent in activities about reading. Douglas insists that "reading cannot be taught di-rectly and schools shoulcl stop trying to do the impossible. " Teaching and learning are two entirely different processes. They' differ in kind and function. The function of teaching is to create the conditions and the climate that will make it possible for children to devise the most efficient system for t'eaching themselves to readl Teaching is also a public activity: it can be seen and observed.Learning to read involves all that each individual does to make sense of the world of printed language. Almost all of it is private, for learning is an occupation of the mind, and that process is not open to public scrutiny.If roles of teacher and learner are not interchangeable, what then can be done through teaching that will aid the child in the quest (探索 ) for knowledge? Smith has one princi- pal rule for all teaching instructions. "Make learning to read easy. which means making. reading a meaningful, enjoyable and frequent experience for children. "When the roles of teacher and learner are seen for what they are9 and when both teachers and learners fulfill them appropriately, then much of the pressure and feeling of failure for both is eliminated. Learning to read is made easier when teachers create an envi- ronment where children are given the opportunity to solve the problem of learning to read by reading.26. According to the passage, learning to read will no longer be a dif'ficult taskwhen_ AA. children become highly motivatedB. roles of teacher and learner are interchangeableC. teaching helps children in the search for knowledgeD. reading enriches children's experience27. The teaching of reading will be successful if (B) .A. teachers can improve conditions at school for the studentsB. teachers can enable students to develop their own way of readingC. teachers can devise the most efficient system for readingD. teachers can make their teaching activities observable28. The word " scrutiny " ( Line 3, Paragraph 3 ) most probably means_ BA inquiry B. observation C. control D. suspicion29. The main idea of the passage is that_ CA. teachers should do as little as possible in helping students learn to readB. teachers should encourage students to read as widely as possible .C. reading ability is something acquired rather than taughtD. reading is more complicated than generally believed30. The problem with the reading course as mentioned in the first paragraph isthat_ DA. it is one of the most difficult school coursesB. students spend endless hours in readingC. reading tasks are assigned with little guidanceD. too much time is spent in teaching about readingPassage FourPeople living on parts of the south coast of England face a serious problem. In1993,the owners of a large hotel and of several houses discovered, to their horror, that their gar- dens had disappearedovernight. The sea had eaten into the soft limestone cliffs on which they had been built. While experts were,studying the_problem, the hotel and several houses disappeared altogether, sliding down the cliff and into the sea.Erosion (侵蚀) of the white cliffs along the south coast of England has always been a problem but it has become more serious in recent years. Dozens of homes have had to be abandoned as the sea has crept farther and farther inland. Experts have studied the areas most affected and have drawn up a map for local people, forecasting the year in which their homes will be swallowed up by the hungry sea Angry owners have called on the Government to erect sea defenses to protect their ernment surveyors have pointed out that in most cases, this is impossible. New sea walls would cost hundreds of millions of pounds and would merely make the waves and currents go further along the coast, shifting the problem from one area to another. The danger is likely to continue, they say. until the waves reach an inland area of hard rock which will not be eaten as limestone is. Meanwhile, if you want to buy a cheap house with an uncertain future, apply to a house agent in one of the threatened areas on the south coast of England. You can get a house for a knockdown price but it may turn out to be a knockdown home.31.

Each passage is followed by 5 questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single bar through the Centre of the letter that indicates your choice.Passage 1In order to learn a foreign language well, it is necessary to overcome the fear of making mistakes. If the primary goal of language use is communication, the mistakes are secondary consideration that may be dealt with gradually as awareness of those mistakes increases. On the other hand, students should not ignore their mistakes. The language learner may observe how native speakers express themselves, and how native expressions differ from the way the learner might say them. For example, a Spanish speaker who has been saying “I do it” to express willingness to do something in the immediate future, could, byinteracting with native speakers of English, observethat native speakers actually say “I‘ll do it”. The resulting discrepancy差异can serve as a basis for the student to modify his way of using the present tense in English. But a student who is unwilling to interact in the first place would lose this opportunity to learn by trial and error.11. According to the passage, foreign language students should not worry too much about making mistakes because ______.A. native speakers will ignore their mistakesB. communication is the primary goal of language learningC. native speakers like foreign students who try to learn their languageD. everyone makes mistakes when trying to communicate ina strange language12. The passage indicates that the present tense in English is ________.A. basically the same in English as it is in SpanishB. not the most difficult problem for foreign studentsC. not used to express a desire to do something in the immediate futureD. used with some verbs but not with others to express future intention13. The author thinks that language learners can reduce the number of their mistakes by ______A. asking native speakers for explanationsB. reading good books in the foreign languageC. speaking without regard to native speakersD. comparing their speech with that of native speakers14. The passage implies that foreign students who do notinteract with native speakers will not __.A. have to worry about making mistakesB. learn very much about the foreign cultureC. learn about the history of the foreign languageD. take advantage of available language models15. The author’s major conclusion about the function of mistakes in foreign language learning is that ______.A. mistakes do not interfere with communicationB. learners are often very afraid of making mistakesC. mistakes are not important in the process of learning a languageD. making mistakes can help the learner discover the rules of the language Passage 2Death Valley is one of the most famous deserts in the United States, covering a wide area with its alkali sand. Almost 20 percent of this area is well below sea level, and Badwater, a salt water pool, is about 280 feet below sea level and the lowest point in the United States.Long ago the Panamint Indians called this place "Tomesha" the land of fire. Death Valley’s pres ent name dates back to 1849, when a group of miners coming across from Nevada became lost in its unpleasantness and hugeness, and their adventure turned out to be a sad story. Today Death Valley has been declared a NationalMonument and is crossed by several well-marked roads where good services can be found easily. Luckily the change created by human settlement has hardly ruined the special beauty of this place.Here nature created a lot of surprising, almost like the sights on the moon, ever-changing as the frequent wind moves thesand about, showing the most unusual colors. One of the most astonishing and variable parts of Death Valley is the Devil' s Golf Course, where it seems hard for one to tell reality from terrible dreams. Sand sculptures stand on a frightening ground, as evenings shadows move and lengthen.16. ____ is the lowest place in the desert.A. TomeshaB. Death ValleyC. NevadaD. Badwater17. The name of the valley comes from ___.A. an Indian nameB. the death of the minersC. the local peopleD. a National Monument18. From the passage we can learn that _______.A. no one had ever known the desert before the minersB. it’s still not easy to travel across the desertC. people can find gas-stations, cafes and hotels in the desertD. people have changed the natural sight of the desert19. Devil’s Golf Course is famous for _______.A. the frequent windB. the colors of the sandC. dream-like sightsD. the sand sculptures20. From the passage we can see that the writer______ the Death Valley.A. appreciatesB. is fearful ofC. dislikesD. is tired ofPassage 3In Western culture, an engagement begins with "yes" to a simple question: "Will you marry me?" These heart-stopping words often come with a beautiful diamond ring. The man making the proposal may get down on one knee. In fact, men have relied on this simple, romantic method of proposing marriage for years.Today, this is no longer true for everyone. Consider how Justin Firestone proposed to Natalie Abreu. The couple took a helicopter tour over the black sands of Honomanu Bay, Hawaii. Suddenly Abreu saw "Will you marry me, Natalie?" spelled out below with coconuts. Her answer was an astonished "Yes!”Firestone’s proposal took weeks of planning and help from a professional. But for men like him, the effort put into the proposal was worth it. Many guys want to show how serious they are about marriage through an impressive proposal. Some even want to give their future brides something to brag about.Public proposals -at sports games, concerts and other events- are common. But some men don‘t settle for their proposal scrolling across a big screen before thousands. Millions saw Joe Uva’s proposal on a reality TV show. His girlfriend, Laura O'Donnell, walked into an office and saw friends and family holding flowers. With the cameras rolling, Uva walked out from among them to propose. O'Donnell said yes, to the relief of Uva and his audience.Other men have chosen proposals that reflect the couple’s u nique relationship. Such proposals take place at a favorite restaurant or involve a shared hobby. Bernie Peng, for example,programs video games, and Tammy Li enjoys playing them. When Peng proposed to Li, he made a small change in her favorite game. When she played it, a ring and marriage proposal appeared. They recently got married!These men were confident they would get the answer they wanted. But that’s not the point: Creative proposals leave memories to be cherished.21. What will men do in a traditional proposal?A. Use beautiful words.B. Buy diamonds in advance.C. Plan it for months.D. Save a lot of money.22. Which of the following statements is true?A. Firestone didn't speak out the proposal.B. Firestone planned the proposal by himself.C. Natalie had expected the proposal on their trip.D. Firestone’s proposal was inexpensive.23. What does "to brag about” (Para.3) prob ably mean?A. To talk about with pride.B. To remember someone.C. To think about seriously.D. To look around carefully.24. Which of the proposals was witnessed by the largest number of people?A. Firestone’s.B. Abreu’s.C. Joe Uva’s.D. Peng’s.25. Wha t is the author’s opinion towards creative proposals?A. They are likely to get positive answers.B. They reveal men’s confidence.C. They are beautiful memories in life.D. They take great courage and wisdom.Passage 4When we're learning a foreign language, making sense of what we hear is the first step toward fluency. It sounds obvious, but until recently, we didn’t know much about how listening works. New research demonstrates that effective listening involves more than simply hearing the words that float past our ears. Rather, it’s an active process of receiving information and making meaning. This kind of engaged listening is a skill that’s as critical for learning a range of subjects at school and work as it is for learning to understand a foreign tongue.Studies of skilled language learners have identified specific listening strategiesthat lead to superior comprehension. Last year, for example, University of Ottawa researcher Larry Vandergrift published his study of 106 undergraduates who were learning French as a second language. Half of the students were taught in a conventional fashion, listening to and practicing texts spoken aloud. The other half, possessing the same initial skill level and taught by the same teacher, were give detailed instruction on how to listen. It turned out that the second group "significantly outperformed" the first one on a test of comprehension.So what are these listening strategies? Skilled learners go into a listening class with a sense of what they want to get of it. They set a goal for their listening, and they generate predictions about what the speaker will say. Before the talking begins they mentally review what they already know about the subject, and form an intention to "listen out for" what’s important orrelevant. Once they begin listening, these learners maintain their focus; if their attention wanders, they bring it back to the words being spoken. They don't allow themselves to be thrown off by confusing or unfamiliar details. Instead, they take note of what they don' t understand and make inferences about what those thing might mean, based on other clues available to them; their previous knowledge of the subject, the context of the talk, the identity of the speaker, and so on.26. What is the main idea of this passage?A. Effective listening means hearing the words that float past our ears.B. Developing your listening skills is the first step toward developing fluency.C. Skilled listeners use specific strategies to get the most out of what they hear.D. Listening is one of the most powerful tools we have to gain information.27. What does Vandergrift’s research show?A. Learners who adopt specific listening strategies become better listeners.B. Learners taught in the traditional way are better at reinforcing what they learn.C. Learners are more confident if they make fewer mistakes.D. Learners who listen on a regular basis improve faster.28. Which of the following statements about Vandergrift' s research is TRUE?A. The participants were postgraduates learning French as a second language.B. All the participants were taught using the conventional method, with the focus on listening strategies.C. The two groups were taught by different teacher.D. The participants were at the same initial skill level.29. The expression "thrown off" in the third paragraph is closest in meaning to "_____".A. infectedB. confusedC. ruinedD. informed30. According to the passage, which of the following strategies is NOT used by skilled learners?A. Review their prior knowledge of the subje ct.B. Concentrate on the speaker’swords.C. Translate into their native language.D. Predict what the speaker will way.Part Ⅲ Vocabulary and Structure (20 points)Directions: There are 20 incomplete sentences in this section.

Today, Chinese people would like to combine Westernspecialties with traditional Chinese dishes. Therefore, it is not rare to see steak being served as well. Salad is gaining popularity, although traditionally the Chinese people generally do not eat any food without cooking.

For each of them, there are four suggested answers. Choose the one that you think is the best answer.Mark your ANSWER SHEET with a single line trough the center.Questions 11-15 are based on the following passage:Communication is the sending of information or news from one person to another. if human beings could not communicate with one another, each person would have to learn everything for himself, Although animals as well as men can communicate, so far as we know, they can express only the simple emotions like pain,joy,fear,huger of sounds and face movements, but we still have much to learn about these animal languages.Speech is the most important means of communication between people. But it is not the onlyone.Nor is it the oldest.We use facial expressions,gestures and hand movements to express ourfeelings and to send signals to other people. Animals use this “body language”a great deal.Thesign language used by deaf people is an example of communication without speech,while blind people communicate largely through touch and hearing.11,According to the passage, what would happen to us without communication?A.We should learn everything for ourselvesB.We would become unable to speak.C.We couldn’t live happily.D.We might have to do everything by ourselves.12.What does the passage say a about animals’communication?A.They have their advanced language in form of sound.B.They can express simple feelings such as hunger and pain.C.Some of them can communicate with people very well.D.All of them can use sound to express themselves.13.Which of the following statement is true?A.Humans do not have adequate knowledge about animal languages.B.We are now very much aware of animal languages.C.Most of animals use their facial expressiong.D.All animals make sounds to communicate with each other.14.What means of communication is used by most people?A.Facial expressions.B.Body movementsC.Speech.D.Body movement and speech.15.We can infer from the passage that the oldest form of communication between people is_____A.speechB.touch and hearingC.soundsD.body languageQuestions 16-20 are based on the following passage;No woman can be too rich or too thin. This saying often attributed to the late Duchess(公爵夫人)of Windsor embodies much of the odd spirit of our times.Being thin is deemed as such a virtue.The problem with such a view is that some people actually attempt to live by i. I myself have fantasies of slipping into narrow designer clothes.Consequently, I have been on a diet for the better——or worse——part of my life. Being rich wouldn’t be bad either, but that won’t happen unless an unknown relative dies suddenly in some distant land,leaving me millions of dollars.Where did we go off the track? When did eating butter become a sin,and a little bit of extra flesh unappealing,if not repellent?All religions have certain days when people refrain from eating.and excessive eating one of Christianity’s seven deadly sins. However, until quite recently,most people had a problem getting enough to eat. In some religious groups, wealth was a symbol of probable salvation and high morals.and fatness a sign of wealth and well-being.Today the opposite is true.We have shifted to thinness as our new mark of virtue.The result is that being fat——or even only somewhat overweight——is bad because it implies a lack of moralstrength.Qur obsession(迷恋)with thinness is also fueled by health coneerns.It is true that in this country we have more overweight people than ever before,and that,in many cases, being overweight correlates with an increased risk of heart and blood vessel disease.These diseases,however,may have as much to do with our way of life and our high-fat diets as with excess weight.And the associated risk of cancer in the digestive system may be more of a dictary problem——too much fat and a lack of fiber——than a weight problem.The real concern,then,is not that we weigh too much,but that we neither exercise enough norEat well.Exercise is necessary for strong bones and both heart and hing health.A balanced diet Without a lot of fat can also help the body avoid many diseases. We should surely stop paying so Much attention to weight.Simply being thin is not enough.It is actually hazardous if those who get (or already are )thin think they are automatically healthy and thus free from paying attention to their overall lifestyle.Thinness can be pure vainglory(虚荣)16.in the eyes of the author,an odd phenomenon nowadays is that___A.religious people are not necessarily virtuousB.looking slim is a symbol of having a large fortuneC,being thin is viewed as a much desired qualityD.the Duchess of Windsor is regarded as a woman of virtue17.Swept by the prevailing trend,the author____A,had to wear highly fashionable clothesB,had to seek help from rich distant relativesC,had to go on a dier for the greater part of her lifeD.could still prevent herself from going off the track18.In human history,people’s views on body weight___A,changed from time to timeB,led to different moral standardsC,varied between the porr and the richD,were elosely related to their religious beliefs19The author criticizes women’s obsession with thinness__A,from a historical and religious standpointB,from sociological and medical points of vewC,from an economic and educational perspectiveD,in the light of moral principles20.What’s the author’s advice to women who are absorbed in the idea of thinness?A.They should gain weight to look healthy.B.They should be more watehful for ratal diseases.C.They should be more concerned with their overall lifestyle.D.They should rid themselves fantasies about designer clothes.Qnestions 21-25 are baed on the following passage:Even plants can run a fever,especially when they’re under attack by insects or diseasc,But unlike humans, plants can have their temperature taken from 3,000 feet away——straight up.ADecade ago,adapting the infrared scanning technology developed for military purposes and other Satellites,physicist Stephen Paley came up with a quick way to take the temperature of crops to Determine which ones are under stress.The goal was to let framers preciselhy target pesticide(杀虫剂)spraying rather than rain poison on a whole field,which invariably includes plants that don’t have pest(害虫)problems.Even better,Paley’s Remots Scanning Services Company could detect crop problems before they became visible to the eye. Mounted on a plane flown at 3,000feet at nigh,an infrared scanner Measured the heat emitted by crops. The data were transformed into a color-coded map showing Where plants were running “fevers” Farmers could then spot-spray,using 40 to 70 percent less Pesticide than they otherwise would.The bad news is that Paley’s company closed down in 1984,after 40 to 70 percent less pesticide than they otherwise would.The bad news is that Paley’s company closed down in 1984,after only three years,Farmers Resisted the new technology and long-term backers were hard to find.But with the renewed conccrn about pesticides on produce, and fefinements in infrared scanning,Paley hopes to get back into operation.Agriculture experts have no doubt the technology works,”This technique can be used on 75 percent of agricultural land in the United States,”says George Oerther of Texas A&M.Ray Jackson, who recently retird from the Departnt of Agriculture,thisks remote infrared crop scanning could be adopted by the end of the decade.But only if Paley finds the financial backing which he failed to obtain 10 years ago.21.Plants will emit an increased amount of heat when they are____A.sprayed with pesticidesB.facing an infrared scannerC.in poor physical conditionD.exposed to excessive sun rays22.In order to apply pesticide spraying precisely,we can use infrared scanning to___A,estimate the damage to the crops B.measure the size of the affected areaC.draw a color-coded mapD.locate the problem area23.Farmers can save a considerable amount of pesticide by___A.rcsorting to spot-sprayingB.consulting infrared scanning expertsC,transforming poisoned rainD.detecting crop problems at an carly stage24.The application of infrared scanning technology to agriculture met with some difficulties___A.the lack of offieial supportB.its high costC.the lack of financialD.its failure to help increase production25.Infrared scanning technology may be brought bafck into operation because of___A.the desire of farmers to improve the quality of their produceB.growing conccrn about the exccssive use of pesticides on cropsC.the forceful promotion by the Department of AgricultureD.full support from agricultural expertsQuestions 26-30 are based on the following passage:The appcal of advertising to buying motives can have both negative and positive effects.Consumers may be convinced to buy a product of poor quality or high price because of an advertisement.For example,some advertisers have appealed to people’s desire for better fuel economy for their cars by advertising automotive products that improve gasoline mileage.Some ofThe products work.Others are worthless and a waste of consumers’money.Sometimes advertising is intentionally misleading.A few years ago a brand of bread was offered to turned out that the bread was not dietetic(适合于节食的),but just regular bread,There fewercalories because it was sliccd very thin,but there were the same munber of calories in every loaf.On the positive side,emotional appeals may respond to a consumer’s real conccrns. Consider fire insurance.Fire insurance maybe sold by appealing to fear of loss.But fear of loss is the real reason for fire insurance. The security of knowing that property is protected by insurance makes the purchase of fire insurance a worthwhile investment for most people.If consumers consider the quality of the insureance plans as well as the message in the ads,they will bencfit from the advertising.Each consumer must evaluate her of his own situation.Are the benefits of the product important enough to justify buying it ? Advertising is intended to appcal to consumers, but it does not force them to buy the product. Consumers still control the final buying decision.26.Advertising can persuade the consumer to buy worthless products by__A.stressing their high qualityB.convincing him of their low priceC.maintaining a balance between quality and priceD.appealing to his buying motives27.The reason why the bread advertisement is misleading is that__A,thin slices of bread could contain more caloriesB,the loaf was cut into regular slicesC,the broad was not genuine broadD,the total number of calories in the loaf remained the same28.The passage tells us that__A.sometimes advertisements really sell what the consumer needsB.advertisements occasionally force consumers into buying things they don’t needC.the buying morives of consumers are controlled by advertisementsD.fire insurance is seldom a worthwhile investment29.It can be inferred from the passage that a smart consumer should__A.think carefully about the benefits described in the advertisementsB.guard against the deceiving nature of adverisementsC.be familiar with various advertising strategiesD.avoid buying products that have strong cmotional appeal30.The passage is mainly about___A.how to make a wise buying decisionB.ways to protect the interess of the consumerC.the positive and negative aspects of advertisingD.the function of advertisements in promoting salesPart Three ClozeDirections:For each blank in the following passage,choose the best answer from the choices givenbelow.Mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.When television first began to expand,very few of the people who had become famous as radio commentators were able to be effective on television,.Some of the difficulties they exspericnced when were trying to 31 themselves to the new medium were technical.When working on radio.for example,they had become 32 to seeing on behalf of the listener.This 33 of seeing for others means that the commcntator has to be very good at talking.Above all,he has to be able to 34 a continuous sequence of visual images which 35 meaning to the sounds which the listenerhears.In the 36 of television,however,the commentator seeseverything with the viewer.His role,therefore,is completely different.He is there to make 37 that the viewer does not niss some point of interest, to help him focus on particular things,and to 38 the images on the television serene Unlike his radio colleague,he mustg know the 39 of silence and how to use it at those moments 40 the picrures speak for themselves.31.A.turn B adapt C. alter D modify32.A.experienced B.determined C established D accustomed33.A.efficiency B.technology C.art D performance34.A.inspire B.create C.cause D.perceive35.A.add B.apply C.affect D.reflect36.A.occasion B.event C.fact D.case37.A.definite B,possible C,sure D.clear38.A.exhibit B.demonstrate C.expose D.interpret39.A.purpose B.goal C.value D.intention40.A.if B.when C.which D.asPart Four Dialogue CompletionDirections:There are ten short incomplete dialogues between two speakers ,each followed by four choices marded A.B .C and D.Choose the answer that appropriately suits the conversational contest and best completes the dialogue.

For each of them there are four choices marked A ,B , C and D. You should decideon the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:Some psychologists(心理学家) maintain that mental acts such as thinking are not performedin the brain alone, but that one' s muscles also participate. (76) It may be said that we think with our muscles in somewhat the same way that we listen to music with our bodies.You surely are not surprised to be told that you usually listen to music not only with your ears but with your whole body. Few people can listen to music without moving their body or, more specifically, some part of their body. Often when one listens to a symphonic concert on the radio, he is attracted to direct the orchestra (乐队) even though he knows there is a good conductor on the job.Strange as this behavior may be, there is a very good reason for it. One cannot derive all possible enjoyment from music unless he participates, so to speak, in its performance. The listener "feels" himself into the music with more or less noticeable motions of his body.( 77 ) The muscles of the body actually participate in the mental process of thinking in the same way, but this participation is less obvious because it is less noticeable.1. Some psychologists think that thinking isA. not a mental processB. more of a physical process than a mental actionC. a process that involves our entire bodiesD. a process that involves the muscles as well as the brain2. The process of thinking and that of listening to music are similar in thatA. both are mental actsB. muscles participate in both processesC. both processes are performed by the entire bodyD. we derive equal enjoyment from them3. Few people are able to listen to familiar music withoutA. moving some part of their bodyB. stopping what they are doing to listenC. directing the orchestra playing itD. wishing that they could conduct music properly4. The listener's way of "feeling" the music isA. the unnoticed motion of his musclesB. "participating" in the performanceC. bending an ear to the musicD. being the conductor of the orchestra5. According to the passage, muscle participation in the process of thinking isA. deliberateB. ApparentC. indistinctD. impressivePassage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:It is difficult to imagine what life would be like without memory. (78) The meanings of. thousands of everyday perceptions , the bases for the decisions we make, and the roots of our habits and skills are to be found in our past experiences, which are brought into the present by memory. Memory can be defined as the capacity to keep information available for later use. It includes not only "remembering" things like arithmetic or historical facts, but also involving any change in the way an animal typically behaves. (79)Memory is involved when a rat gives up eating grain be- cause he has sniffed something suspicious in the grain pile. Memory is also involved when a six- year-old child learns to swing a baseball bat.Memory exists not only in humans and animals but also in some physical objects and machines. Computers, for example, contain devices for storing data for later use. It is interesting to compare the memory-storage capacity of a computer with that of a human being. The instant-access memory of a large computer may hold up to 100,000 " words" --ready for instant use. An average U.S. teenager probably recognizes the meaning of about 100,000 words of English. However, this is but a fraction of the total amount of information which the teenager has stored. Consider, for example, the number of faces and places that the teenager can recognize on sight.The use of words is the basis of the advanced problem-solving intelligence of human beings.A large part of a person' s memory is in terms of words and combinations of words.6. According to the passage, memory is considered to beA. the basis for decision making and problem solvingB. an ability to store experiences for future useC. an intelligence typically possessed by human beingsD. the data mainly consisting of words and combinations of words7. The comparison made between the memory capacity of a large computer and that of a human being shows thatA. the computer' s memory has a little bigger capacity than a teenager' sB. the computer' s memory capacity is much smaller that an adult human being' sC. the computer' s memory capacity is much smaller even than a teenager' sD. both A and B8. The whole passage implies thatA. only human beings have problem-solving intelligenceB. a person' s memory is different from a computer' s in every respectC. animals are able to solve only very simple problemsD. animals solve problems by instincts rather than intelligence9. The phrase "in terms of" in the last sentence can best be replaced byA. "in connection with"B. "expressed by"C. "consisting"D. "by means of"10. The topic of the passage is:A. What would life be like without memory ?B. Memory is of vital importance to life.C. How is a person' s memory different from an animal' s or a computer' s?D. What is contained in memory ?Passage 3Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:Today anyone will accept money in exchange for goods and services. People use money tobuy food, furniture, books, bicycles and hundreds of others 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 thingsas money. One of the first kinds of money was shells.Shells were not the only things used as money. In China, cloth and knives were used. In the Philippine Islands, rice was used as money. In some 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 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 coins 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. (80) 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.11. 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 $20.B. To get some money for old books at a garage sale.C. To buy things you need or want.D. To get paid for your work.12. Where were shells used as money in history?A. In the Philippines.B. In China.C. In Africa.D. We don' t know.13. 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.14. Why does the author say that even gold and silver were inconvenient if you had to buy some- thing 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.15. Which 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 MoneyPart II Vocabulary and Structure (30 % )Directions: In this part there are 30 incomplete sentences. For each sentence there are four choices marked A,B, C and D.

湖南自考学位英语模拟试题及答案详解（一）

湖南自考学位英语模拟试题及答案详解（一）2013湖南学位英语仿真模拟试题试题（一）Part I Reading Comprehension (30%)Directions: There are three passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.What exactly is a lie? Is it anything we say which we know is untrue? Or is it something more than that? For example, suppose a friend wa nts to borrow some money from you. You say “I wish I could help you but I’m short of money myself.” In fact, you are not short of money but your friend is in the habit of not paying his debt and y ou don’t want to hurt his feelings by reminding him of this. Is this rally a lie?Professor Jerald Jellison of the University of Southern California has made a scientific study of lying. (76)According to him, women are better liars than men, particularly w hen telling a “white lie”, such as when a woman at a party tells another woman that she likes her dress when she really thinks it looks awful. However, this is only one side of the story. Other researchers say that men are more likely to tell more serious lies, such as making a promise which they have no intension of fulfilling. This is the kind of lie politicians and businessmen are supposed to be particularly skilled at: the lie from which the liarhopes to profit or gain in some way.Research has also be en done into the way people’s behavior changes in a number of small, apparently unimportant ways when they lie. It has been found that if they are sitting down at the time, they tend to move about in their chairs more than usual. T o the trained observer th ey are saying “I wish I were somewhere else now.” They also tend to touch certain parts of the face more often, in particular the nose. One explanation of this may be that lying causes a slight increase in blood pressure. The tip of the nose is very sensitive to such changes and the increased pressures make it itch.Another gesture which gives liars away is what the writer Desmond Morris in his book Manwatching calls “the mouth cover”.(77)He says there are several typical forms of this, such as covering part of the mouth with the fingers, touching the upper-lip or putting a finger of the hand at one side of the mouth. Such a gesturecan be understood as an unconscious attempt on the part of the liar to stop himselfor herself from lying.Of course, such gestures as rubbing the nose or covering the mouth, or moving about in a chair cannot be taken as proof that the speaker is lying. They simply tendto occur more frequently in this situation. It is not one gesture alone that gives the liar away but a whole number of things, and in particular the context in which thelie is told.1.According to the passage, a “white lie” seems to be a lieA.that other people believeB.that other people don’t believeC.told in order to avoid offending someoneD.told in order to take advantage of someone2.Research suggests that womenA.are better at telling less serious lies than men areB.generally lie far more than men doC.lie at parties more often than men doD.often make promises they intend to break3.Researchers find that when a person tells liesA.his blood pressure increases measurablyB.he looks very seriousC.he tends to make some small changes in his behaviorD.he uses his unconscious mind4.One reason people sometimes rub their noses when they lie is thatA.they wish they were somewhere elseB.the nose is sensitive to physical changes caused by lyingC.they want to cover their mouthsD.they are trying to stop themselves from telling lies5.The tone of this passage tells us that the writerA.hates to lieB.enjoys lyingC.often tells a lieD.tries to analyze lyingPassage 2Question 6 to 10 are based on the following passage.(78) Let children learn to judge their own work. A child learning to talk does not learn by being corrected all the time: if corrected too much, he will stop talking. He notices a thousand times a day the difference between the language he uses and the language those around him use. Bit by bit, he makes thenecessary changes to make his language like other people’s. In the same way, children learning to do all the othe r things they learn to do without being taught—to walk, run, climb, whistle, ride a bicycle—compare their own performances with those of more skilled people, and slowlymake the needed changes. But in school we never give a child a chance to find out his mistakes and correct them for himself. We do it all for him. We act as if we thought that he would never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him, or correct it unless he was made to. Let him work out, with the help of other children if he wants it, what his word says, what the answer is to that problem, whether this is a good way of saying or doing this or not.If it is a matter of right answers, as it may be in mathematics or science, give him the answer book. Let him correct his own papers. Why should we teachers waste time on such routine work? Our job should be to help the child when he tells that he can’t find the way to get the right answer. Let the children learn what all educated persons must some day learn, how to measure their own understanding, how to know what they know or do not know.6. According to the passage, which of the following is the best way for children to learn things?A. Listening to skilled people’s advice.B. Asking older people many questions.C. Making mistakes and having them corrected.D. Doing what other people do.7. The writer think teachers should NOT .A. give children correct answersB. allow children to make mistakesC. point out children’s mistakes to themD. let children mark their own work8. According to the writer, teachers in school should .A. allow children to learn from each otherB. point out children’s mistakes whenever foundC. correct children’s mistakes as soon as possibleD. give children more book knowledge9. According to the passage, learning to speak and learning to ride a bicycle are .A. different from learning other skillsB. the same as learning other skillsC. more important than other skillsD. not really important skills10. The title of this passage could probably be .A. Let Us T eachers Stop WorkB. Let Us Make Children LearnC. Let Children Correct Their ExercisesD. Let Children Learn By ThemselvesPassage 3Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:(79) John had bought a packet of cigarettes just before we caught the train and he offered me one as we settled ourselves in our compartment. We were on our way back from a camping holiday；we had lived rough for over a fortnight and evena cigarette was a luxury at that moment.I felt in my pocket for a box of matches, but could not find any.3“I haven’t got any either,” said John.Sitting opposite to us was a man whose face was hidden bya newspaper.“Excuse me, sir,” said John, leaning across. “Coul d you give me a light, please?”The newspaper was lowered to reveal a rather elderly man with a stern face.“This is a no smoking compartment,” the man said. He indicated the notice near the window. We apologized and put away our unlit cigarettes.(80) The man went on, in a rather more kindly way, to warn us against the dangers of smoking.“I speak as a doctor,” he conc luded, and after that he went back to reading his newspaper.When he got out a few stations later, he left his newspaper behind him. We picked it up, eager to find out what had happened while we were on holiday.“Just look at this,” remarked John, pointing to a photograph. “it’s the man who was sitting opposite us.” Underneath the photograph was an account of a lunatic (精神病者) who had recently escaped. It appeared that he liked to pretendto be a doctor.11.The friends had spent their holiday ______.A. on a boatB. in a tentC. on a farmD. withan aunt12.

For each of them there are four choices markedA ,B ,C and D. You should decideon the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:Some psychologists(心理学家) maintain that mental acts such as thinking are not performedin the brain alone, but that one' s muscles also participate. (76) It may be said that we think withour muscles in somewhat the same way that we listen to music with our bodies. You surely are not surprised to be told that you usually listen to music not only with your earsbut with your whole body. Few people can listen to music without moving their body or, more specifically, some part of their body. Often when one listens to a symphonic concert on the radio, he is attracted to direct the orchestra (乐队) even though he knows there is a good conductor on the job.Strange as this behavior may be, there is a very good reason for it. One cannot derive all possible enjoyment from music unless he participates, so to speak, in its performance. The listener "feels" himself into the music with more or less noticeable motions of his body.( 77 ) The muscles of the body actually participate in the mental process of thinking in the sameway, but this participation is less obvious because it is less noticeable.1. Some psychologists think that thinking isA. not a mental processB. more of a physical process than a mental actionC. a process that involves our entire bodiesD. a process that involves the muscles as well as the brain2. The process of thinking and that of listening to music are similar in thatA. both are mental actsB. muscles participate in both processesC. both processes are performed by the entire bodyD. we derive equal enjoyment from them3. Few people are able to listen to familiar music withoutA. moving some part of their bodyB. stopping what they are doing to listenC. directing the orchestra playing itD. wishing that they could conduct music properly4. The listener's way of "feeling" the music isA. the unnoticed motion of his musclesB. "participating" in the performanceC. bending an ear to the musicD. being the conductor of the orchestra5. According to the passage, muscle participation in the process of thinking isA. deliberateB. ApparentC. indistinctD. impressivePassage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:It is difficult to imagine what life would be like without memory. (78) The meanings of. thousands of everyday perceptions , the bases for the decisions we make, and the roots of our habits andskills are to be found in our past experiences, which are brought into the present by memory.Memory can be defined as the capacity to keep information available for later use. It includesnot only "remembering" things like arithmetic or historical facts, but also involving any change inthe way an animal typically behaves. (79)Memory is involved when a rat gives up eating grain be-cause he has sniffed something suspicious in the grain pile. Memory is also involved when a six-year-old child learns to swing a baseball bat.Memory exists not only in humans and animals but also in some physical objects and machines. Computers, for example, contain devices for storing data for later use. It is interesting tocompare the memory-storage capacity of a computer with that of a human being. The instant-access memory of a large computer may hold up to 100,000 " words" --ready for instant use. An average U.S. teenager probably recognizes the meaning of about 100,000 words of English. However, this is but a fraction of the total amount of information which the teenager has stored. Consider, for example, the number of faces and places that the teenager can recognize on sight.The use of words is the basis of the advanced problem-solving intelligence of human beings.A large part of a person' s memory is in terms of words and combinations of words.6. According to the passage, memory is considered to beA. the basis for decision making and problem solvingB. an ability to store experiences for future useC. an intelligence typically possessed by human beingsD. the data mainly consisting of words and combinations of words7. The comparison made between the memory capacity of a large computer and that of a human being shows thatA. the computer' s memory has a little bigger capacity than a teenager' sB. the computer' s memory capacity is much smaller that an adult human being' sC. the computer' s memory capacity is much smaller even than a teenager' sD. both A and B8. The whole passage implies thatA. only human beings have problem-solving intelligenceB. a person' s memory is different from a computer' s in every respectC. animals are able to solve only very simple problemsD. animals solve problems by instincts rather than intelligence9. The phrase "in terms of" in the last sentence can best be replaced byA. "in connection with"B. "expressed by"C. "consisting"D. "by means of"10. The topic of the passage is:A. What would life be like without memory ?B. Memory is of vital importance to life.C. How is a person' s memory different from an animal' s or a computer' s?D. What is contained in memory ?Passage 3Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:Today anyone will accept money in exchange for goods and services. People use money tobuy food, furniture, books, bicycles and hundreds of others they need or want. When they work,they usually get paid in money.Most of the money today is made of metal or paper.

For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.Passage OneHow much do you know about nutrition? If your knowledge is similar to that of food shoppers who answered three surveys for the U. S. Food and Drug Administration, then you probably share some wide-spread misinformation about nutrition. Check your answers to the following statements. Is it true or false?Statement 1: Fresh vegetables cooked at home are always more nutritious than canned or frozen vegetables. False. The nutritional difference depends more on how vegetables are handled or prepared than in whether they are bought fresh or packaged. Overcooking, for example, destroys many nutrients. Vegetables cooked in too much water can lose a significant amount of vitamins. Statement 2: When dieting, avoid starchy(淀粉类) foods, such as bread or potatoes. False. If you cut out starchy foods, such as peas, potatoes, bread, and rice, you cut out very good sources of several B vitamins, Vitamin C, and other nutrients. Moreover, ounce for ounce, bread and potatoes have fewer calories than sirloin steak and roast beef.Statement 3: Taking extra vitamins beyond the recommended daily allowances won’t give you more energy. True. It’s widely believed th at extra vitamins provide more energy. But taking more than the body needs doesn't make it function better, just as overfilling your gas tank doesn’t make your car run faster.If you answered these questions correctly, you can for the time being consider yourself well informed about food and nutrition by today’s standards. But remember that nutrition is a complex and growing science and that today’s beliefs may be changed as new information becomes available.16. The first paragraph implies that many people __________.A. are well informed about nutritionB. don’t care about nutritionC. have much knowledge of nutritionD. have incorrect ideas about nutrition17. According to paragraph 2, which is NOT true about nutrition?A. Overcooking destroys many nutrients.B. It makes no difference how you prepare vegetables.C. Both fresh and packaged vegetables are nutritious.D. Vitamins in vegetable could be lost during cooking.18. Which is a correct attitude towards starchy food?A. Starchy foods are unnecessary in a balanced diet.B. Bread and steak have the same amount of calories per ounce.C. Valuable nutrients could be found in starchy foods.D. Starchy foods include only peas, potatoes, bread and rice.19. The description of “overfilling your gas tank” sh ows why __________.A. one should take as much vitamins as possibleB. more than enough vitamins is unnecessaryC. vitamins cost as much as gasD. doctors recommend allowance of vitamins20. A good title for this article would be__________.A. Tips of Losing Weight EffectivelyB. Test Your Nutrition IQC. Nutrition: A Complex Branch of ScienceD. Misleading Nutrition ConceptsPassage TwoMost women in Ghana--the educated and illiterate, the urban and rural, the young and old--work to earn an income in addition to maintaining their roles as housewives and mothers. Their reputation for economic independence, self-reliance, and hard work is well known and well deserved.Most of Ghana’s working women are farmers and traders. Only one woman in five, or even fewer, can be classified as simply housewives. Even these women often earn money by sewing or by baking and cooking things to sell. They also maintain vegetable gardens and chicken farms. Indeed, the woman who depends entirely upon her husband for support is looked upon with disfavor.Traditionally the tasks of motherhood have been shared. Mothers and sisters, grandmothers and nieces all helped to raise the children and to carry out daily tasks. As the family grew, older brothers and sisters also helped to care for the younger ones and helped in the home. Now with more children going to school, with more people moving away from their traditional homes, not only must the mother continue her income-producing activities, but she must take on all the heavy, time-consuming housework.Ghana today is looking for new ways to meet the needs of women and their families, such as providing more day care centers, so women can continue to play their multiple roles in the homeand in the economy.21. What is the role of most women in Ghana?A. Handling various housework at home.B. Taking care of children indoors.C. Farming and trading out of house.D. Working as well as maintaining families.22. “self-reliance” could be explained as “__________”.A. making great wealthB. depending on oneselfC. caring for one’s ownD. being a reliable person23. What kind of women do people in Ghana prefer?A. Beautiful and charming.B. Skillful at sewing or baking.C. Depending totally on husbands.D. Working hard to earn incomes.24.Paragraph 3 describes__________.A. how traditional extended families operateB. why women in Ghana have more burdens nowC. how changes in life help the working womenD. the new life style of Ghana’s people25. The author of this article probably agrees that women inGhana should__________.A. stay at home and focus on family lifeB. become as active as men in businessC. try to maintain their original rolesD. make a choice and stick to one rolePassage ThreeThe blues was born on the Mississippi River Delta in the early 1900s. After the Civil War, the slaves were free but life was still not easy. They had to find new work. In the South, work camps were formed. Black people from these camps worked on farms and on building up the Mississippi River banks. During the week the people worked long and hard. They often lived alone, without their families, far from home. On the weekends, the workers got together at picnics or drinking places. Travelling black musicians with guitars entertained them. The musicians sang songs about the difficult life of the workers. These songs were called the blues.If you have the blues it means you feel very sad. You can have the blues because you have no money, no job, no lover, or no home. But blue songs were not always sad. Some of them were happy and many of them were funny.Sometimes the blues singers had song contests. Each singer sang new words or a new style of the blues song. They made up the music as they played. In this way they created new music. This is called improvisation. Later, improvisation became a very important part of jazz music.Blues began in the country in the South. As blacks moved into the big cities to work, the blues went with them. There, they sang about life in the cities. W. C. Handy, a black band leader from Memphis made the blues popular all over America. In 1914 he wrote the most famous blues song of all, “The St. Louis Blues”.26.

What kind of emotion does the blues express?A. SadnessB. HappinessC. JokingD. All of the above29. How did “improvisation” come into being?A. The blues singers gathered to have contests.B. New words were added into old songs.C. New styles were played with guitars.D. The blues singers created music while playing.30. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. The blues were born in the country in the South.B. The blues soon disappeared in big cities.C. W. C. Handy is the first blues singer in US.D. The most well-known blues song is “The St. Louis Blues”.Passage FourNo matter who you are or where you come from, one thing is certain：you are acquainted with the mosquito(蚊子)--although you probably wish you weren’t. Mosquitoes are everywhere. They can be found all over the world, and they come in more than 2,500 species. Somewhere, at some time, you have surely met at least one.No one loves the mosquito. But unfortunately the mosquito may decide that she loves you. Yes,She. Only the female mosquito bites. It’s not because she’s unfriendly: she needs blood to reproduce. Female mosquito is quite selective, and she chooses her victims carefully. First, she uses sensors to find her victim. With these sensors, she tests your body moisture, body warmth, and chemical substances in your sweat. If she likes what she finds, she bites. But if you don’t appeal to her, she’ll reject you for someone more appetizing. The next time a mos quito bites you, just remember that you were chosen. You’re special.If the mosquito likes you, she settles onto your flesh very gently, and she breaks your skin with her proboscis tip. It’s a kind of mouth and it sticks out just below the mosquito’s eyes. She stabs the proboscis tip into your skin at once, and if she hits a blood vessel, she’ll get a full dinner in about a minute. After that, the mosquito is tired. Heavy with your blood, she picks a spot---on a leave or a stone---to lay her eggs. Just one drop of blood will produce hundreds of eggs.31. By the sentence “you are acquainted with the mosquito--although you probably wish you weren’t”, the author means that people _________.A. don’t like mosquito but it is always thereB. know mosquito and wish them wellC. wish all the mosquito disappearedD. want to be friendly to mosquito but fail at last32. Why is it only female mosquito that bites?A. She is more unfriendly than male.B. She is greater in number.C. Blood is her favorite food.D. Blood enables her to lay eggs.33. To select whom to bite, the mosquito’s sensors may NOT test_________.A. the temperature of the bodyB. the color of the skinC. the chemical elements in sweatD. the wetness of the body34.According to the last paragraph, the function of proboscis tip is to _______.A. find where to biteB. to stick into the flesh and suck bloodC. to remove the skin and collect bloodD. decide whom to reject35. The main idea of the passage could be _______.A. why and how mosquito bites peopleB. why people dislike mosquitoC. what kind of mosquito bites peopleD. how to identify female mosquitoPart III Vocabulary and Structure (20 points)Directions: There are 40 incomplete sentences in this part.
