第二篇短文后有5个正、误判断题，请选择T或F.Passage OneIt has been reported that in colleges across the United States, the daytime serial drama known as the soap opera has suddenly become "in". Between the hours of 11 a.m. and 4:30 pm, college television lounges are filled with soap opera fans who can't wait to see the next episode in the lives of their favorite characters.Actually, soaps are more than a college favorite; they're a youth favorite. When school is out, high-school students are in front of their TV sets. One young working woman admitted that she turned down a higher paying job rather than give up watching her favorite serials. During the 1960's, it was uncommon for young people to watch soap operas. The mood of the sixties was very different from now. It was a time of seriousness, and talk was about social issues of great importance.Now, seriousness has been replaced by fun. Young people want to be happy. It may seem strange that they should turn to soap opera, which is known for showing trouble in people's lives. But soap opera is enjoyment. Young people can identify with the soap opera character, who, like the college-age viewer, is looking for happy love, and probably not finding it. And soap opera gives young people a chance to feel close to people without having to bear any responsibility for their problems.6．What is soap opera?CA：Plays based on science fiction stories.B：Plays based on non-fiction stories.C：The daytime serial dramas on TV.D：Popular documentary films on TV.7．What can be the best title of the passage?CA：College student viewers.B：Favorite TV serials.C：Soap opera fans.D：College-age viewers.8．Which is NOT the reason why the soap opera has suddenly become "in" among American young people ?DA：Because the viewers want to be happy and to enjoy themselves.B：Because the soap opera makes young people feel close to their people.C：Because the viewers can find themselves in the soap opera characters.D：Because the young people have to bear the responsibilities for their troubles.9．What can we learn from the passage? _____C____A：College students like soap operas more than any other social groups.B：Young people of sixties liked soap operas more than people today.C：young viewers have turned themselves from the seriousness of sixties to enjoyment now.D：The young as a whole are trying to look for happy love but in vain.10．What message does the author want to convey to us? __B______A：The people's favorites to drama works have been changed for a long time.B：The people's favorites to drama works change along with the times.C：The people's favorites to drama works is changed by the soap opera.D：The people's favorites have changed the drama works.Passage TwoMartin Luther King was a black minister, who became a great leader of the civil rights movement in the 1950s and 1960s.King was born on January 15, 1929 in Atlanta, Georgia. When he was young, he was strongly influenced by Thoreau and Indian leader Mahatma Gandhi's idea of non-violent resistance. Having received a Ph. D (Doctor of Philosophy) from Boston University, he became a political and religious leader of the non-violent civil relights movement in 1955. On August 28, 1963, he led over 250,000 Americans on a march in Washington D.C. to fight for the Civil Rights Law to guarantee equality for all people, and delivered his best known speech "I Have a Dream" before the Lincoln Memorial. The "dream" is a dream of brotherly love and equality for the Black and White. Thus, he was awarded the Nobel Prize for peace in 1964, but he was murdered four years later.Though he died, he was greatly respected and loved by the Americans, both the white and the black. By vote of Congress in 1968, the third Monday of every January is now a federal holiday in Luther King's honor. He lives in people's hearts forever.11．Martin Luther King was murdered when he was 39 years old.A：TB：F12．Martin Luther King was a black minister only.A：TB：F13．Martin Luther King's Day has been a federal holiday for more than 40 years.A：TB：F14．The underlined word "delivered" in the second paragraph could be replaced by "gave".A：TB：F15．The best title for this passage is "Civil Rights Law".A：TB：F第三部分：词汇与结构（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）此部分共有5个未完成的句子，针对每个句子中未完成的部分有4个选项，请从A、B、C、D四个选项中选出正确选项。

A mistake on one inexpensive postage stamp has made the stamp worth a million and a half times its original value.The mistake was made more than a hundred years ago in the British colony of Mauritius，a small island in the Indian Ocean. In 1847 an order for stamps was sent to a London printer - Mauritius was to become the fourth country in the world to issue stamps.Before the order was filled and delivered，a ball was planned at Mauritius's Government House，and stamps were needed to send out the invitations. A local printer was instructed to copy the design for the stamps. He accidentally inscribed the words 'Post Office' instead of 'Post Paid'on the several hundred stamps that he printed.Today there are only 26 of these misprinted stamps left-fourteen One-Penny Orange Reds and twelve Two-penny Blues. Because of the Two-penny Blue's rareness and age，collectors have paid as much as 16,800 for it.31．A postage stamp's value to collectors is raised if ______.[A] there are few others like it[B] there are no errors on the stamp[C] a mistake is made in the printing[D] both A and C32．Mauritius is the name of ______.[A] an island kingdom[B] a British colony[C] a province of India[D] a London printer33．The mistake on the locally printed postage stamps was in the ______.[A] spelling of postage [B] size [C] price [D] color34．Implied but not stated：______[A] All correctly printed stamps are worthless.[B] Mauritians needed the stamps to send out invitations to a ball.[C] The printer was punished for his mistake.[D] Collectors are constantly looking for stamps with mistakes.35．The best title for this passage is ______.[A] The 'Post Paid' Error[B] The Two-penny Blue[C] A London Printer's Error[D] How Mauritius Became FamousPassage 2When the weather is hot，you go to a lake or an ocean. When you are near a lake or an ocean，you feel cool. Why? The sun makes the earth hot，but it cannot make the water very hot. Although the air over the earth becomes hot，the air over the water stays cool. The hot air over the earth rises. Then the cool air over the water moves in and takes the place of the hot air. When you are near a lake or an ocean，you feel the cool air when it moves in. You feel the wind. And the wind makes you cool.Of course，scientists cannot answer all of our questions. If we ask，"Why is the ocean full of salt?"，scientists will say that the salt comes from rocks. When a rock gets very hot or very cold，it cracks. Rain falls into the cracks. The rain then carries the salt into the earth and into the rivers. The rivers carry the salt into the ocean. But then we ask，"What happens to the salt in the ocean? The ocean does not get more salty every year." Scientists are not sure about the answer to this question.We know a lot about our world. But there are still many answers that we do not have，and we are curious.36．The main idea of this passage is _____.[A] people feel cool when they are near a lake or an ocean[B] scientists can explain everything we want to know[C] scientists can explain many things but not everything[D] the salt in the ocean comes from rocks37．You feel cool when you are near a lake or an ocean because _____.[A] the water is cold[B] the earth is hot[C] the water is colder than the earth[D] cool air from the water moves towards the land38．Now scientists know _____.[A] what makes people feel cool near a lake or an ocean in summer[B] everything about the ocean[C] why the ocean does not get more and more salty[D] what happens to the salt in the ocean39．A rock cracks when _____.[A] rain falls [B] it gets very hot[C] it gets very cold [D] either B or C40．People are always curious because _____.[A] they know nothing about the world[B] they know little about the world[C] there are answers they do not have[D] either A or BPassage 3In the United States, it is not customary to telephone someone very early in the morning. If you telephone him early in the day, while he is shaving or having breakfast, the time of the call shows that the matter is very important and requires immediate attention. The same meaning is attached to telephone calls made after 11:00pm. If someone receives a call during sleeping hours, he assumes it is a matter of life or death. The time chosen for the call communicates its importance.If a late telephone call is regarded in the United States as a cause for concern, imagine the excitement and fear caused by a crowd of people arriving at the door at 2:00pm. On an island in the south Pacific, a plant manager from the United States had just such an experience. The natives of the island met one night to discuss a problem. When they arrived at a solution, they went to see the plant manager and woke him up to tell him what had been decided. Unfortunately, they did not know that it is a very serious matter to wake up Americans at such an hour. The plant manager, who did not understand the local culture, thought there was a fight and called the police. It never occurred to him (or to the natives)that parts of the day have different meanings in different cultures.41．According to the U.S. custom, what does a very early telephone call mean to an American? _____[A] Very impolite．[B] Not usual．[C] Very urgent．[D] Not necessary.42．At which of the following hours is a phone call NOT regarded as of primary importance? _____[A]11：00am．[B] 11：30pm．[C] 5：00am．[D] 12：00pm.43．Why did the natives go to the plant manager's home and wake him up?_____[A] To have a talk with him．[B] To inform him of their decision.[C] To discuss a problem with him．[D] To tell him a problem they met with.44．What was the manager's immediate reaction to the natives' arrival?_____[A] He thought the natives were mad.[B] He didn't take it seriously.[C] He called in a policeman to talk with the natives.[D] He believed there was a fight and called the police at once.45．What is most likely caused by a phone call or a visit at midnight? _____[A] Concern．[B] Fear．[C] Excitement．[D] All of the above.1. large The factory is being to make room for more machinery.2. efficient You will increase your ___ if you introduce more system into your work.3. cruel___ to children or animal is a crime in many counties.4. appear If you use this chemical to clean your shirt, the stains will___ immediately5. understand John and Mary had a ___, but they have made it up now.6. health The children looked wonderfully ___with their bright eyes and glowing cheeks.7. please The success of the experiment was a great___ and encouragement to the young scientists.8. eager She could not conceal her ___ for praise.9. construction The old professor made a number of very ___suggestions concerning soil conservation in the area.10. curious Looking up, I saw his eyes fixed on me in ___.1.战争已经威胁了这些人们几十年，他们似乎已学会接受这一现实了。

(阅读理解题)Many visitors finds the fast pace at which American people move very troubling. One’s first impression is likely to be that everyone is in a rush. City people always appear to be hurrying to get where they are going and are very impatient if they are delayed even for a brief moment. At first, this may seem unfriendly to you. Drivers will rush you; storekeepers will be in a hurry as they serve you; people will push past you as they walk along the street. You will miss smiles, brief conversations with people as you shop or dine away from home. Do not think that because Americans are in such a hurry they are unfriendly. Often, life is much slower outside the big cities, as is true in other countries as well. Americans who live in cities such as New York, Chicago, or Los Angeles, often think that everyone is equally in a hurry to get things done; they expect others to “push back”, just as city people do in Tokyo, Singapore or Paris, for example. But when they discover that you are a stranger, most Americans become quite kindly and will take great care to help you. Many of them first came to the city as strangers and they remember how frightening a new city can be .If you need help orwant to ask a question, choose a friendly looking person and say, “I am a stranger here. Can you help me?”Most people will stop, smile at you, and help you find you way or answer your questions. But you must let them know that you need help. Otherwise they are likely to pass you by, not noticing that you are new to the city and in need of help. Occasionally, you may find someone too busy or perhaps too rushed to give you aid. If this happens, do not be discouraged; just ask someone else. Most Americans enjoy helping a stranger.(1). (单选题) Many people who first visit the United States will find that _______.(本题2.0分)A、America is a highly developed countryB、American city people seem to be always in a rushC、the fast pace in American life often causes much troubleD、Americans are impatient and unfriendly people学生答案： B标准答案：B解析：得分： 2(2).

(阅读理解题)Many people think that when they become rich and successful, happiness will naturally follow. Let me tell you that nothing is further from the truth. The world is full of very richpeople who are as miserable as if they were living in hell. We have read stories about movie stars who committed suicide or died from drugs. Quite clearly, money is not the only answer to all problems. Wealth obtained through dishonest means does not bring happiness. Lottery winnings do not bring happiness. Gambling winnings do not bring happiness. To my mind, the secret to happiness lies in your successful work, in your contribution towards others’ happiness and in your wealth you have earned through your own honest effort. If you obtain wealth through luck or dishonest means, you will know that it is ill-earned money. If you get your money by taking advantage of others or by hurting others, you will not be happy with it. You will think you are a base person. Long-term happiness is based on honesty, productive work, contribution, and self-esteem. Happiness is not an end; it is a process. It is a continuous process of honest, productive work which makes a real contribution to others and makes you feel you are a useful, worthy person. As Dr. Wayne wrote, “There is no way to happiness. Happiness is the way.” There is no use saying “Someday when I achieve these goals, when I get a car, build a house and own my own business, then I will be really happy.” Life just does not work that way. If you wait for certain things to happen and depend on external circumstances of life tomake you happy, you will always feel unfulfilled. There will always be something missing.(1). (单选题) What does “nothing is further from the truth”mean?(本题2.0分)A、Something. is completely untrue.B、Something is completely true.C、We can find out the truth.D、We cannot find out the truth.学生答案： A标准答案：A解析：得分： 2(2).

大学英语(2)期末考试复习资料模拟题
大学英语（2）期末考试复习资料模拟题一、阅读：( 1 )A young man who lived in London was in love with a beautiful girl. Soon she became his fiancée （未婚妻）. The man was very poor while the girl was rich. The young man wanted to make her a present on her birthday. He wanted to buy something beautiful for her, but he had no idea how to do it, as he had very little money. The next morning he went to a shop. There were many fine things there: gold watches, diamond… but all these things were too expensive. There was one thing he could not take his eyes off. It was a beautiful vase. That was a suitable present for his fiancée. He had been looking at the vase for half an hour when the manager of the shop noticed him. The young man looked so pale, sad and unhappy that the manager asked what had happened to him.The young man told him everything. The manager felt sorry for him and decided to help him. A bright idea struck him. The manager pointed to the corner of the shop. To his great surprise the young man saw a vase broken into many pieces. The manager said: "When the servant enters the room, he will drop it."On the birthday of his fiancée the young man was very excited. Everything happened as had been planned. The servant brought in the vase, and as he entered the room, he dropped it. There was horror on everybody's face. When the box was opened, the guests saw that each piece was packed separately.1. The story took place ______.A. in FranceB. in EnglandC. in GermanyD. in the United States2. Which of the following is true?A. A rich young man fell in love with a beautiful girl.B. The young man's family was poor while the beautiful girl is rich.C. The young man loved the girl but the girl didn't love him.D. The young man had enough money to buy a beautiful vase.3. Why did the young man want to buy a present for the girl?A. He wanted to give her a Christmas present.B. He fell in love with her.C. Her birthday was coming soon.D. They were going to get married.4. Why did the shop manager come to talk to the young man?A. He looked very excited.B. He was poorly dressed.C. He looked pale and sad.D. He said he wanted to buy a beautiful vase.5. On the birthday of his fiancée, the young man was excited because ____.A. the girl was in love with himB. the girl looked beautifulC. he was not sure whether his trick would be seen throughD. the girl was happy and gay( 2 )A few years ago it was common to speak of a generation gap between young people and their elders. Parents said that children did not respect and listen to them, while children said that their parents did not understand them at all. What had gone wrong? Why had the generation gap suddenly appeared? Actually, the generation gap has been around for a long time. Many people argue that it is built into every part of our society.One important cause of the generation gap is the opportunity that young people have to choose their own ways of life. In a more traditional society, when children grow up, they are expected to live in the same area as their parents, to marry people that their parents know and like, and often to continue the family jobs. In our society, young people often travel great distances for their education, move out of the family at an early age, marry or live with people whom their parents have never met, and choose jobs different from those of their parents.In our society, parents often expect their children to do better than they did, to find better jobs, to make more money and to do all the things that they were unable to do. Often, that is another cause of the gap between them. Often, they discover that they have very little in common with each other.Finally, the speed at which changes take place in our society is the third cause of the gap between the generations. In a traditional culture, senior people are valued for their knowledge, but in our society the knowledge of a lifetime may become out of date. The young and the old seem to live in two very different worlds, separated by different skills and abilities. No doubt, the generation gap will continue in American life for some time to come.6. The first paragraph tells us that ______.A. the problem of the generation gap draws much attention from peopleB. it is out of date to talk about the generation gapC. children and parents are trying to understand each otherD. it is very important for people to frequently communicate with each other7. In a more traditional society, old people_______.A. have their children respect and listen to themB. do not care for their children at allC. expect their children to rebel against themD. do not live together with their children8. In American society young people________.A. do not need to find jobsB. leave home at an early ageC. have better education than their parentsD. marry people younger than them9. Which of the following is NOT the cause of the generation gap?A. Young people like to depend more on themselves.B. Parents do not love their children dearly.C. American society changes rapidly.D. Parents expect too much of their children.10. The main idea of the passage is ________.A. that the generation gap needs consideringB. when the generation gap is necessary in American societyC. why the generation gap existD. how we can reduce the generation gap二、交际用语(此部分共有10个未完成的对话，针对每个对话中未完成的部分有4个选项，请从A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出一个最佳选项。

Are you often late for work or school? Yes? Then Hiroyuki Sugiyama of Japan has a special bed for you. Hiroyuki’s bed wil l get you up in the morning! Here is how it works:The bed is connected to an alarm clock. First, the alarm c lock rings. You have a few minutes to wake up. Next, a tape record er in the bed plays soft music or other pleasant sounds. A few mi nutes later, a second recording plays. The second recording can be l oud music or unpleasant sounds. If you don’t get up after the second recording, you’ll be sorry. A mechanical “foot”is in the bed. The mechanical foot kicks you in the head. Then the bed waits a few more minutes. What! You’re still in bed! Slowly, the top of the b ed rises higher and higher. The foot of the bed goes lower and low er. Finally, the bed is vertical. You slide off the bed and onto t he floor. You are awake and out of bed.Hiroyuki make his bed because he wanted to win a contest. He w orks for Honda Motor Company. Once every two years, Honda has a con test —the “All Honda Idea Contest”.

In 1973, over 500 organizations had adopted the idea, and by 1974, its number had risen to over 200,000.Flexible working hours were invented in Germany in the late 196 0s but reached Britain only in 1972. The system allows workers to s tart and finish work whenever they want, with only two requirements. These are, firstly, that all workers must be present for certain“k ey”times in the day and secondly, that all workers must work an a greed total number of hours per week.The system has proved an almost total success wherever it has been tried. A survey of 700 workers on flexible hours showed three main advantages: a better balance between working and private life, a voidance of the need to travel during rush hours, and the ability t o be able to finish a certain task before leaving.From the employers’point of view, the system tends to increase productivity, reduce labor turnover and give the worker a greater s ense of duty.11.According to the passage, the _________invented the “flexible working hours”.A. JapaneseB. AmericansC. GermansD. British12. The phrase “catch on”(in Para. 1) most probably means ________ _.A. understandB. become popularC. perceiveD. seize13. What is one of the advantages of “flextime”for workers?A. They can earn more moneyB. They can avoid busy traffic.C. They will do less work.D. They can avoid working hard.14. Which one is NOT an advantage of “flextime”for employers?A. A better balance between working and private life.B. It reduces labor turnover.C. It gives the workers a greater sense of duty.D. It tends to increase productivity.15. The author _________“flextime”according to the passage.A. supportsB. is againstC. criticizesD. hatesPassage 3Human beings, however, have something that no animal has. Human beings have the ability to express their actions, feelings and ideas through words. They can also write words down in order to communicat e past events and to send messages to people far away.Even though some birds have learned to repeat words, they d o not understand the meaning of the words, and therefore they cannot use them to communicate ideas.How did man first learn to speak? Perhaps we shall never k now. However, we do know that as man’s knowledge increased he needed to use more sounds in order to express a greater number of feelin gs and ideas. It became necessary for him to communicate about a gr eater number of things. He began to make more and more different so unds, and gradually he put these sounds together to form, first, wor ds, then groups of words, and then sentences. In different parts of t he world, people developed their own systems of sounds and words. To day, we call these systems ”languages”.There are now about five thousand different languages and di alects in the world, and each of them contains many thousands of wo rds.16. Why can’t some birds use words to communicate ideas though they have learned to repeat them?A. Because they don’t understand the meaning of the words.B. Because they cannot put them into sentences.C. Because they cannot remember them.D. Because they don’t often use them.17. How did human beings first learn languages?A. Maybe nobody will know.B. Surely we’ll know later.C. Certainly nobody knows.D. Perhaps we have known.18. Why did man need to use more sounds as man’s knowledge increase d?A. In order to form words.B. In order to communicate about more things.C. In order to develop a language.D. In order to sing songs.19. What are languages?A. They are sounds.B. They are w ords.C. They are systems of sounds and words.D. They are letters.20. How many languages are there in the world?A. 15, 000.B. 5,000.C. 500.D. 50,000. Passage 4Thomas Alva Edison was awarded more patents on inventions than any other American. When he died in 1931, Americans wondered how the y could best show their respect for him.One suggestion was that the nation observe a minute or two of total blackout. All electric power would be shut off in homes, stree ts, and factories.Perhaps this suggested plan made Americans realized fully what Ed ison and his inventions meant to them. Electric power was too import ant to the country. Shutting it off for even a short time would ha ve led to complete confusion. A blackout was out of the question. On the day of Edision’s funeral, many people silently dimmed their l ights. In this way they honored the man who had done more than any one else to put the great force of electricity at his countrymen’s fingertips.21.

大学英语（2）期末考试复习资料模拟题一、阅读：( 1 )I arrived in the United States on February 6,1966, but I remember my first day here very clearly. My friend was waiting for me when my plane landed at Kennedy Air port at three o’clock in the afternoon. The weather was very cold and it was snowing, but I was too excited to mind. From the airport, my friend and I took a taxi to my hotel. On the way, I saw the skyline（轮廓）of Manhattan（曼哈顿）for the first time and I stared in astonishment at the famous skyscrapers and their man-made beauty. My friend helped me unpack at the hotel and then left me because he had to go back to work. He promised to return the next day.Shortly after my friend had left, I went to a restauran t near the hotel to get something to eat. Because I couldn’t speak a word of English, I couldn’t tell the waiter what I wanted. I was very upset and started to make some gestures(手势), but the waiter didn’t understand me. Finally, I ordered the same thing t he man at the next table was eating. After dinner, I started to walk along Broadway until I came to Times Square with its movie theatres, neon lights（霓虹灯）, and huge crowds of people. I did not feel tired, so I continued to talk around the city. I wanted to see everything on my first day. I knew it was impossible, but I wanted to try.When I returned to the hotel, I was exhausted（筋疲力尽）, but I couldn’t sleep because I kept hearing the fire and police sirens（警笛声）during the night. I lay awake and thought about New York. It was a very big and interesting city with many tall buildings and big cars, and full of noise and busy people. I also decided right then that I had to learn to speak English.1. On the way to his hotel, the writer______.a. was silent all the timeb. kept talking to his friendc. looked out of the window with great interestd. showed his friend something he brought with him2. He did not have what he really wanted, because _______.a. he only made some gesturesb. he did not order at allc. he could not make himself understoodd. the waiter was unwilling to serve3. The writer _______________.a. knew what he would orderb. finally understood what he saidc. took the order through his gesturesd. served the same thing the man at the next table was having4. After dinner, he____________.a. walked back to the hotel right awayb. went to the moviesc. did some shopping on Broadwayd. had a walking tour about the city5. That night he could not sleep, because ___________.a. he did not know what to do the next dayb. he was not tired at allc. he was thinking about this great cityd. he kept hearing the fire and police sirens( 2 )People often say that the Englishman's home is his castle. They mean that the home is very important and personal. Most people in Britain live in houses rather than flats, and many people own their homes. This means that they can make them personal, and change them in any way they like. Most houses have a garden, even if it is a small one, and the garden is usually loved. The house and the garden are the private space of a person. In a crowded city a person knows that he or she has a private space which is only for himself or herself and for invited friends.People usually like to mark their space. If you are on the beach you may have spread your towels around you; in the rain you may have put your coat or small bag on the seat beside you; in a library you may spread your books around you.Once I was traveling on a train to London. I was on a section for four people and there was a table between us. The man opposite to me had his briefcase on the table. There was no space on my side of the table at all. I was unhappy. Ithought he thought that he owned the whole table. I had been reading a book about nonverbal （非语言的）communication so I took various papers out of my bag and put them on his case! When I did this he suddenly became angry and his eyes nearly popped out （突出）of his head. I had taken up his space! A few minutes later I took my papers off in order to read them. He immediately moved his case to his side of the table.6. What does the first sentence in Paragraph 1 mean?a. Englishmen usually live in homes instead of castles.b. The castle is more important than the home.c. The home is more important than the castle.d. The home matters greatly to Englishmen.7. Which of the following is NOT the reason for most British to live in homes?a. They can make changes in houses in which they live.b. They can keep the private space to themselves and friends.c. They can own private space like the house and the garden.d. They love houses more than gardens.8. According to Paragraph 2, if you spread your books around you in a library, it means ______.a. you want to tell others the space belongs to youb. you want to put your coat on the tablec. you can find no space for your books on the seatd. you want to spread your towels around you further9. How did the man opposite to the writer show he owned the whole table?a. He placed his briefcase on the table.b. He sat in a section for four people.c. He was traveling on a train to London.d. He was reading a book.10. The writer tried to get back his space by ______.a. taking up the space of the man oppositeb. taking all his papers outc. moving the case off the tabled. showing the books concerned to the man阅读：1-5 ccddd 6-10ddaaa二、交际用语(此部分共有10个未完成的对话，针对每个对话中未完成的部分有4个选项，请从A、B、C、D 四个选项中，选出一个最佳选项。

The smiles soon faded from their faces, however, when Lyon reported that the earth indicator compass—the most valuable navigational instrument on board—was out of action. They would have to rely on their magnetic steering compasses. Nevertheless, as they settled down to their nocturnal watch, flying at 4,000 feet in perfect weather, they felt happy about the relatively simple journey that lay ahead—but it was a happiness that was all too short-lived.The moon disappeared and the atmosphere gradually grew colder. Strong gusts of wind which rocked the plane were followed by the drumming of torrential rain. Pitching and tossing as they flew on blindly, they circled, climbed and plunged in an attempt to dodge the squalls. Navigation was out of the question. Kingsford Smith, fighting the controls, had but one thought—to keep the Southern Cross airborne. From early evening till the small hours, they were simple fighting to survive, their limbs stiffening, their hands too numb to write. There was no entry in the log from 6.15 p.m to 3.20 a.m.Soon after dawn , they managed to escape from that terrible electric storm and at 7 a.m., Warner picked up a radio beam from Brisbane. With this they altered course, comforted by flying into warmer air. At last they sighted the Australian coast, more than a hundred miles south of their course.36. Which is the destination of the flight?A) Australian coast B) Kingsford-SmithC) Southern Cross D) Brisbane37. What does the passage tell us?A) The story of the great flight.B) The struggle between man and nature.C) The adventures of the great flight.D) The experiences before a perfect landing.38. What kind of conclusion can we draw from the last paragraph but one?A) Pilots are supposed to keep written records of a journey during the flight.B) Pilots should be mentally prepared for all kinds of situations appearing.C) Pilots should listen to the weather report before take-off.D) pilots should wear special overalls so as to keep themselves warm enough.39. “It was a happiness that was all too short –lived.” Why ? Because .A) magnetic steering compasses were out of actionB) the weather did not promiseC) the journey did not turn out as they had expectedD) they met with unfavorable weather condition40 Which disaster comes first during the course of the flight?A) Strong gusts of wind. B) Terrible electric storm.C) Cold atmosphere. D) The earth indicator compass was out of action.Question 41 to 45 are based on the following passage:Is staring at a big, white wall during class making you feel dull? If you have ever walked past math teacher Mr. Kelley's room, you may have noticed how cheerful it is throughout the year. One thing that makes his classroom so much fun is the celebrity (名人) pictures on his front wall.Kelley's students have been writing to celebrities from across the nation asking for a photo and a few words of advice. "It really takes a lot of time and money," Kelley said. First, Kelley and his students make a list of all the celebrities to whom they want to write. Once a student picks a star, Kelley looks them up in his book of addresses to see if he can write to that person.Writing to the stars takes a lot of time because he has to personalize each letter, print them out, and address them. In the letter, Kelley asks the celebrity to send his classes a picture with some advice he or she would give to today's youth.Kelley takes up a collection in all of his classes and asks each student to contribute (捐) dollar to pay for the postage. Once Kelley mails off all the letters, the fun really begins. So far he has gotten back about 20 letters and pictures. "The only thing that isn't cool is when the celebrity sends the picture back with no advice on it, which is my entire purpose in doing this," said Kelley. When he gets at least three pictures returned, he lets his classes guess who the three stars are. He keeps score of how many celebrities each class has guessed. Jason Bryant, a student, said, "It's become a contest(竞赛) between the classes to see who can guess the most stars, and it's really fun."41. Who pays to send out letters?A）Kelley himself B）Kelley's studentsC）The contest organizer D）Jason Bryant42. What is the text about?A）Celebrities sending photos to KelleyB）Celebrities giving advice to studentsC）Kelley and his classes writing to celebritiesD）Kelley inviting celebrities to his classes43. According to Jason Bryant, they find a lot of fun inA）studying math B）reading repliesC）the name-guessing game D）receiving pictures from celebrities44. What is Kelley's main purpose of writing the letters?A）To educate his students B）To have pictures for his office wallC）To improve his students' letter writing skillsD）To help his students know more about the celebrities45. The phrase "to personalize each letter" (Line 1, Para.3 ) means"______".A）to print out each otherB）to personally send out each otherC）to find the address of each celebrityD）to make the letter suitable for a particular starPart ⅢCloseDirections: There are 20 blanks in the following passage. For each blank there are four choices marked A), B), C), D). You should choose the ONE that best fits into the passage.

In my second year the professor who taught the course passed away and I was asked to take over. Then for many years I taught classes for judges, law students, and practicing lawyers throughout the country. After graduation, I got a job as an assistant city attorney. Then I became one of Denver’s youngest judges at the age of 28. Finally, I did return to Boulder---- to receive the University of Colorado’s George Norlin Award.Sooner or later everyone will fall short at something important to them. But failure also taught me that life is a road with unexpected tomorrows. To take advantage of them, you cannot let yourself be destroyed by failure.。

"Does he smoke?""No, he's never touched a cigarette," the woman replied."That's good," the man continued. "I don't smoke either. Tobacco is very bad to one's health. And does your son drink wine?""Oh, no," the woman answered at once. "He's never drunk a drop of it.""Then I congratulate you, ma'am," the man said. "And does he ever come home late at night?""No, never," his neighbor answered. "He goes to bed immediately after dinner every night.""Well," the man said, "he's a wise young man. How old is he?""He's six months old today. But he will grow up to be a gentleman," the woman replied proudly.(1)、The man and the woman are talking about the woman's son.A：TB：F(2)、The woman thinks her son will be a gentleman.A：TB：F(3)、The conversation took place on a train.A：TB：F(4)、The word "disappointed" probably best describes the man's feeling at the end of the conversation.

His wife was afraid that he would get sick if he continued like that, so she often tried to get him to take a vacation. At last she managed to persuade him to do so, and she hoped that he would be able to enjoy his vacation without any disturbance, so before they left, Mrs. Young went to see her husband's secretary. She said to her, "My husband needs a vacation very much, so whatever happens, please don't bother him with telegrams and letters about business problems while we are away. Just wait till we get back."After Mr. and Mrs. Young had been away about a week, Mr. Young received a letter from his secretary which said, "Something terrible happened to your business, but I'm not going to bother you with it while you are enjoying your vacation."(6)、Mr. Young was the owner of a private business.A：TB：F(7)、Mrs. Young worried about her husband's business.A：TB：F(8)、Mrs. Young was afraid that her husband's vacation might be spoilt.A：TB：F(9)、The secretary didn't explain in her letter what had happened to Mr.Young's business, because she didn't want to spoil Mr. Young's vacation.A：TB：F(10)、You can learn from the story that Mr. Young had a stupid secretary.A：TB：F3、By definition, heroes and heroines are men and women distinguished by uncommon courage, achievements, and self-sacrifice made most for the benefits of others - they are people against whom we measure others. They are men and women recognized for shaping our nation's consciousness and development as well as the lives of those who admire them. Yet, some people say that ours is an agewhere true heroes and heroines are hard to come by, where the very idea of heroism is something beyond us - an artifact of the past. Some maintain, that because the Cold War is over and because America is at peace, our age is essentially an unheroic one. Furthermore, the overall crime rate is down, poverty has been eased by a strong and growing economy, and advances continue to be made in medical science.Cultural icons are hard to define, but we know them when we see them. They are people who manage to go beyond celebrity (明星), who are legendary, who somehow mange to become mythic. But what makes some figures icons and others mere celebrities? That's hard to answer. In part, their lives have the quality of a story to tell. For instance, the beautiful young Diana Spencer who at 19 married a prince, renounced marriage and the throne, and died at the moment she found true love. Good looks certainly help. So does a special indefinable charm, with the help of the media. But nothing confirms an icon more than a tragic death - such as Martin Luther King, Jr., John F. Kennedy, and Princess Diana.(11)、The passage mainly deals with ______.A：life and deathB：heroes and heroinesC：heroes and iconsD：icons and celebrities(12)、Heroes and heroines are usually _________.A：courageousB：exemplaryC：self-sacrificingD：all of the above(13)、Which of the following statements is wrong? _________A：Poverty in America has been eased with the economic growth.B：Superstars are famous for being famous.C：One's look can contribute to being famous.D：Heroes and heroines can only emerge in war times.(14)、Beautiful young Diana Spencer found her genuine love________.A：when she was 19 B：when she became a princessC：just before her death D：after she gave birth to a prince(15)、What is more likely to set an icon's status? ________ A：Good looks.B：Tragic and early death.C：Personal attraction.D：The quality of one's story.三、词汇与语法1、Never get off the bus ______it has stopped.A：ifB：as soon asC：untilD：or2、Put it down, Richard.

But who's going to_________ the plan? - I think John and Peter will.A：carry outB：get throughC：take inD：set aside四、完型填空1、Modern zoos are very different from zoos that were built fifty years ago. At that time, zoos were places 1 people could go to see animals from many parts of the world. The animals lived in cages that were made 2 concrete with iron bars, cages that were easy to keep clean.Unfortunately for the animals, the cages were small and impossible to hide in. The zoo environment was anything but natural. 3 the zoo keepers took good care of the animals and fed them well, many of the animals did not thrive; they behaved in strange ways, and they often became ill.In modern zoos, people can see animals in more natural habitats. The animals are given more4 in large areas so that they can live more comfortably as they would in nature. Even the appearance of zoos has changed. Trees and grass grow in the cages, and streams of water flow5 the areas that animals live in.(1)、A：ofB：AlthoughC：whereD：overE：freedom(2)、A：ofB：AlthoughC：whereD：overE：freedom(3)、A：ofB：AlthoughC：whereD：overE：freedom(4)、A：of B：Although C：where D：over E：freedom(5)、A：ofB：AlthoughC：whereD：overE：freedom五、英译汉1、Traveling by train is slower than by plane, but it has its advantages.2、I think she will change her mind tomorrow.3、I read the local newspapers with great interest every evening.六、作文Instructions:建议你在30分钟内，根据下面所给的题目和提纲用英语写出一篇不少于80词的短文。

For each questions 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 1Solar energy (power from the sun) has many uses. In many parts of the world, people are building solar houses with large numbers of windows to collect the heat of the sun. Solar collectors can make hot water from sunlight. The rays of the sun heat water in a solar collector, and the hot water goes into a storage tank. People can use the hot water for washing or for heating their houses. In the future, people may use the rays of the sun to make electricity for their homes. They will use photovoltaic cells to make electricity from sunlight.The sun is an important “new source of energy”. It is less expensive than oil or nuclear energy. Furthermore, it does not cause pollution, and it is not as dangerous as nuclear power. Many people think that solar energy will be the answer to our future energy problems.11.What is the source of solar energy?A. the earthB. oilC. the sunD. the nuclear12.What can a solar collector do?A.

But many large well-known companies hire new people frequently without putting advertisements in newspapers, because they already have many resumes on file. Therefore, it is not always best to apply only to companies that place ads in newspapers. A person looking for a job is advised to send his resume with a cover letter to a well-known company even if a position is not then open, he can follow up with a telephone call to inquire if his resume has been received and if any jobs are available. If the company has not a job at that time, he can ask that they keep his material on file and contact him in the future when something is available.Sometimes if a company is not hiring at the time, a letter explaining that a position is not currently available will be sent. If a person sends a letter and resume to a company that is not then hiring and later sees an advertisement in the newspaper for a job with that company, he should call the company to make certain they have his material on file and will consider him for the position. So, a person has nothing to lose and everything to gain by sending in his resume.16.What kind of companies are the best choices for a person to write to find a job?A. Companies that place ads in newspapers.B. Small trading companies.C. Larger, well-known companies.D. The companies which are looking for new personnel now.17.Which of the following is not true?A. A person looking for a job should only apply to companies that advertise innewspapers.B.Many larger, well-known companies hire new people frequently.C. A person looking for a job is advised to send his resume with a cover letterto a well-known company even if a position is not then open.D.When companies decide to hire new people they usually place an ad in thenewspaper to attract as many people as possible.18.When people are looking for jobs, what should they send to companies,according to the passage?A. A resume and recent photos.B. A cover letter and an application.C. A resume and a cover letter.D. Only a phone call.19.If you send your resume to a company that isn’t hiring at the time, what mightthe company do?A. The company might call you and tell you that they have no positions now.B. The company might hire you anyway.C. The company will not write back because they are not interested in you.D. The company might write back and tell you that there are no positionsavailable at the time.20.According to the author, __________.A. it is a bad idea to send in one’s resume if one is not certain there is a jobavailableB. it is always a good idea to send in one’s resume whether or not one iscertain there is a job available.C. it is not necessary to send in one’s resume if one knows that there is not ajob available.D. it is always necessary to make an inquiry phone call first before one sendsin his resume.Part III Vocabulary and Structure (40 points)Section ADirections:In this section there are 10 incomplete sentences.
