A，B，C andD．Choose the best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet．Passage OneI talk to strangers for a living and love the challenge of getting their stories published innewspapers．I've been married for years，but until six months a90，I could be a typical absent—mindedhusband．Often l was just nodding when l was supposed t0．When my wife asked，“Did you even hear what I just said?”1 would defensively say，“0f course I did!”In January，I began to lose my voice．Doctors told me I needed surgery，or my throatwould be permanently damaged．Total silence would be required for the first few weeks of myrecovery．Two hours after the surgery，my eyes filled with tears as my two-year-old son lookedpuzzled because l wouldn’t answer his questions．1 wanted to talk but couldn’t．Luckily，I'd recorded myself reading some of his favorite books．That would come in handy the next coupleof weeks．When I got home，I noticed a“side effect”：as my wife talked to me to keep up myspirits，1 wasn’t just hearing her；1 was listening to her．Over the next few weeks，I didn’t want to miss a word she said,I began to hear sweetness in her voice．It had never left．I'd juststopped noticin9．I found myself understanding her better on topics I'd previously dismissed as“things I just don’t get as a guy”．I also realized my son wasn’t just talking nonstop but that he often had thoughtful things to say．Even while walking my dog in the woods near our home，Ibegan hearing pleasant patterns in birdsongs．Before my surgery，I'd have spent those walks onmy phone．After several weeks，1 was fully recovered．Conversation in our house is better now，notbecause I'm talking more．I’m just listening better and becoming less and less surprised that Ilike what I hear．36．According to the passage，the author is most likely a ．A．driver B．teacher C．doctor D．journalist37．What does the wife mean by askin9“Did you even hear what I just said?”in Paragraph l ?A．Yon should listen to me．B．You didn’t want to talk with me．C．You should tell me what I said just now．D．You didn’t have to nod while you were listenin9．38．，What is true of the author after the surgery?A．He was required to keep silent for the first few monthsB．He was worried about his recovery after the surgery．C．He was unable to communicate with his son．D．He was unwilling to talk to his wife．39．What did the author realize after the surgery?A．His wife was a talkative woman．B．His house was full of pleasant talks．C．His son didn’t like talkin9．D．His dog liked pleasant birdsongs．Passage TwoCoconut(椰子)is an unusual food for many reasons．It is one of the largest edible seedsproduced by any plant．Its unusual contents also make it unique in the seed world—it consistsof both“meat’’and“water”inside．The coconut meat is the white substance with which we are all familiar，as it is used extensively for cooking a．nd flavorings；the coconut water is a white and sweet liquid．Portuguese(葡萄牙的)explorers gave the nut its name in the l 5 th century．referring to itas COC0，meanin9“ghost”in their language．The outside appearance of coconuts remindedthem of a ghost’s face，and the tree has had that name ever since．The coconut has varied uses．It is used to make various cooking oils for fast．foodrestaurants around the world to make diet materials．The coconut fluid is a favorite drink in hotclimates，providing a cool and refreshing beverage right off the tree．This water is also used bymanufacturers of various sports drinks．Even the shell itself has many uses，including animalfood and fertilizer．Yet the coconut is also useful in many ways that have nothing to do with food．Coconut oilis used for cosmetics(化妆品)，medicines，and so on．Dried coconut shells are used in manycountries as a tool for shining wood floors．The shells are also used for shirt buttons，and arecommonly found on Hawaiian clothin9．They are even used for musical instruments and birdhouses．And all these are only some of the uses found for the coconut fruit．The coconut tree，which produces the nut，also produces many useful things．It’s no wonder that the coconut tree has been taken as“the tree of life”．40．What does the underlined word“edible’in Paragraph l mean?A．Visible．B．Collectible．C．Available D．Eatable．4 1．The coconut got its name because of ．A．its hard shell B．its white colorC．its ghostlike appearance D．its round

useful plants．B．Coconut oil is rare and expensive．C．Coconut trunks are houses for birds．D．Coconut fluid can become fertilizer．Passage ThreeMost students choose“Homestay”accommodation when they study abroad：others selectHomestay even if they are not on a study visit．Statistics show that it’s a form of accommodation gaining in popularity all the time．But what is Homestay?And what makes it so popular?Homestay means living with a family，or“host family”as we say．There are three ways ofdoing it：·choose to learn English in a language school near to your Homestay location：·have your English classes in the house with a member of the family who is a qualifiedteacher；·select not to have classes at all when you visit——a popular choice if you want to do thetourist thing for example．Even in their busy summer period the organizations that arrange the Homestays will alwaystry to place you with the most suitable host family to match your requirements．Placement(安置)organizations think about location，interests，language level，eating requirements，allergies(过敏)and other requests you may have．Though prices vary according to your needs，good quality Homestay accommodation can berelatively economical--and although you may be charged an extra amount of money if you want your Homestay in or near the city centre．Even if you stay further out，you can expect yourjourney into the centre not to exceed 30 minutes·Not onlY does Homestay accommodation represent value for money，it also glVes you an excelient opportunity to practise English with your host family．This is a very imPortant extra for students who like to speak as much English as possible．But if you plan to leam English，whynot have vour English classes in your host family．9 There’s no better way to learn English thanthis—the Derfect combination of learning and accommodation combined with the Cultural experience !44．Homestay is an ideal choice for students wh0 .A．plan to visit relatires B．want to stay at homeC．plan to study overseas D．warlt to learn statistics ·45．Who will consider students’requirements before their Homestay starts?A．The English teacher．B．The placement orgamzatlon.C．The host family．D．The language school.46．Which of the foilowing is a key factor affecting the price of Homestay?A．Nationalitv of the host family．B．Eating habits of the host family.C．Students’language level．D．Students’specific needs·47．What can be inferred from the passage?A．The author is in favor of Homestay accommodation．B．The author is doubtful about the safety of Homestay．C．The author finds Homestay arrangement complicated．D．The author finds Homestay accommodation expensive．Passage FourUsing 1ess energy around the home is easier than you might think，saving you money whilecreating a heahhier，more comfortable living space for you and your family．Changing a few old habits can make an impact on your energy bill，your comfort and the environment.Here aresome handy tips to make your house more energy-efficient.Lower the heatIf vour home has adjustable central heating，lowering the room temperature eVen sllghtlycan make a difference．You may not feel it，but your wallet will．It is even more adVisable to control temperatures at different times of the day·Hang clothes out to dryIf the weather allows it，head outside and dry your laundry on a clothesline.The sunlightwill help eliminate bacteria and dust．While clothes dryers get the job done faster，they also use up energy．By hanging your clothes out you’11 be cutting greenhouse gases by about three kilograms per load．Take advantage of natural lightInstalling large windows on the northern side of your house can help you make use of sunli ght，s natural warmth. To stay c00l indoors on hot summer days，install blinds(百叶窗) to block the heavy sun．Put your desk near the window，then you don’t need a lamp in thedaytime．Wrap(裹)your pipesBe sure your hot—water pipes are properly wrapped．In an average home，heating wateraccounts for more than one—quarter of the energy bill．Why let warmth go to waste before it reaches you? 、Choose the right size for appliances(家用电器)When the time comes to replace appliances，select those that are both energy—efficient and of the appropriate size for your needs．Don’t buy bigger ones just because you can．48．What benefit may using less energy at home bring about?A．Having a healthier living environment．B．Improving your work efficiency．C．Keeping old habits unchanged．D．Enlarging your living space．49．Which of the following is one of the advantages of hanging clothes out to dry?A．It may help to build a greenhouse．B．It helps remove bacteria in clothes．C．It uses half the ell ergy that clothes dryers d0．D．It gets clothes dry much faster than clothes dryers．50．What can be installed on the northern side of your house to make better use of naturallight? ，A．Blinds．B．Curtains．C．Windows．D．Shades．5 1．Besides energy-efficiency，what else should be considered when replacing appliances?A．Replacing time．B．Reasonable price．C．Good quality．D．Proper size．Passage FiveAs we recently discovered，there is a Stepmother’s Day，though it is not on any officialholiday calendar．S0，it would be safe to assume that there is a similar day for stepdads，t00．Right?Well，it depends on what you read．A Google search brought up posts that say，forexample，“It’s on father’s day--father’s day is for fathers，step—fathers and people who are like fathers to you-it’s a day for making father figures feel special．”Further searching found a Stepfather’s Day Facebook page that says，“The unofficial Stepfather’s Day is the fourth Sunday of June．”Unfortunately，as of the publishing of this article，only 30 people have“liked”the page．Considering that studies show 3．3 million men，or l l．1％of U．S．fathers，live with at least one stepchild，that’s only a drop in the ocean．It’s interesting to note that there is a National Grandparents’Day．President Jimmy Cartersigned it into law in 1978．Law! While grandparents are undoubtedly special people in our children’s lives，they are often seen as the most loving family members．But what about thestepparents? The stepparents are the ones who are often the outsiders，the ones who have toendure the hurtful“You’re not my dad!”or“You’re not my mom!”And yet they never giveup．They do their best to overcome the inherent challenges of stepparents and be role models for their stepchildren．These unsung(未被颂扬的)family heroes deserve“official”days ofhonor．Perhaps if we are loud enough，President Obama，who had a stepfather himself，will signinto law National Stepmother’s Day and National Stepfather’s Day．Are you with me?Follow me and get your voice heard．How cool it would be if we couldmake this happen!5 2．What does the underlined word“that’’in Paragraph l refer to?A．Father figures who are equally honored in the U．S．B．30 people who support Stepfather’s Day on the Facebook page．C．3．3 million men who live with at least one stepchild in the world．D．1 1．1％of U．S．fathers who live with at least one stepchild in the U．S．53．What did President Jimmy Carter sign into law in l978 7A．The National Grandparents’Day．B．The National Grandchildren’s Day．C．The National Stepparents’Day．D．The National Stepchildren’s Day．54．Which of the following is closest in meaning to the word“inherent”in paragraph 2 9．A．Unbelievable．B．Tough．C．Lastin9．D．Inevitable．55．What is the reason for setting an official holiday for stepparents．9A．Because they love their role as stepparents．B．Because they are often treated as heroes in the family．C．Because they deserve respect and honor as family members．D．Because they are often seen as the most loving family members．V．Daily Conversation(15 points)Directions：Pick out appropriate expressions from the eight choices below andcomplete the following dialogue by blackening the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet．A．Where are you going today B．That’s not our busC．I'll catch up on my reading to kill time D．There isn’t a cloud in the skyE．Did you catch the news today F．How long have you been waitingG．Have a nice day H．Don’t forget your book(At a bus stop)Mary：We couldn’t ask for a better day，could we?John：I know．56．I love this time of the year．Mary：This bus seems to be running late，doesn’t it? 57 ?John：I've been here for at least ten minutes．Mary：Ah，here comes a bus!John：Oh good．Wait ! 58 ．That bus goes downtown．Mary：Well，it looks like we’11 be waiting a little longer．5 9 ,I guess．John：Oh，I'm afraid you have no time for that．Here’S our bus．Mary：Oh great!I thought it would never come．John：60 !Mary：You t00．Ⅵ．Writing(25 points)Directions：For this part，you are supposed to write an essay in English in l 00—1 20 words based on the following information．Remember to write it neatly．61．你(Li Yuan)在英语学习中遇到了一些困难，希望得到帮助。

I did knowD. did I knowPart II Reading Comprehension (40 points)Directions: There are four 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 1How often one hears children wishing they were grown up, and old people wishing they were young again. Each age has its pleasures and its pains, and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age gives him without wasting his time in useless regrets.Childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities to make life difficult. If a child has good parents, he is fed, looked after and loved, whatever he may do. It is impossible that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return. In addition, life is always presenting new things to the child —things that have lost their interest for older people because they are too well-known. But a child has his pains: he is not so free to do what he wishes to do; he is continually being told not to do things, or being punished for what he has done wrong.When the young man starts to earn his own living, he can no longer expect others to pay for his food, his clothes, and his room, but has to work if he wants to live comfortably. If he spends most of his time playing about in the way that he used to as a child, he will go hungry. And if he breaks the laws of society as he used to break the laws of his parents, he may go to prison. If, however, he works hard, keeps out of trouble and has good health, he can have the great happiness of building up for himself his own position in society.21. According to Paragraph 2, the writer thinks that _______.A. life for a child is comparatively easyB. a child is always loved whatever he doesC. if much is given to a child, he must do something in returnD. only children are interested in life22. After a child grows up, he_____.A. will have little time playingB. has to be successful in finding a jobC. can still ask for help in time of troubleD. should be able to take care of himself23. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A. People are often satisfied with their life.B. Life is less interesting for old people.C. Adults are freer to do what they want to do.D. Adults should no longer rely on others.24. The main idea of the passage is that ______.A. life is not enjoyable since each age has some painsB. young men can have the greatest happiness if they work hardC. childhood is the most enjoyable time in one’s lifeD. one is the happiest if he can make good use of each age in his life25. The paragraph following the passage will most probably discuss ______.A. examples of successful young menB. how to build up one’s position in societyC. joys and pains of old peopleD. what to do when one has problems in lifePassage 2Every country tends to accept its own way of life as being the normal one and to praise or criticize others as they are similar to or different from it. And unfortunately, our picture of the people and the way of life of other countries is often a distorted (曲解) one.Here is a great argument in favor of foreign travel and learning foreign languages. It is only by traveling in, or living in a county and getting to know its inhabitants and their language that one can find out what a country and its people are really like. And how different the knowledge one gains this way frequently turns out to be true from the second-hand information gathered from other sources! How often we find that the foreigners whom we thought to be such different people from ourselves are not very different after all!Differences between peoples do of course, exist and, one hopes, will always continue to do so. The world will be a dull place indeed when all the different nationalities behave exactly alike, and some people might say that we are rapidly approaching this state of affairs. With the much greater rapidity and ease of travel, there might seem to be some truth in this at least as far as Europe is concerned. However this may be, at least the greater ease of travel today has revealed to more people than ever before that the Englishman or Frenchman or German is not some different kind of animal from themselves.26. Every country criticizes ways of life in other countries because they are _______.A. distortedB. normalC. similar to each otherD. different from its own27. One who travels in a foreign country and learns its language will ______.A. find out what its people are likeB. argue in favor of this country and the languageC. know the country and its people betterD. like its inhabitants and their language28. The knowledge one gains by traveling in a foreign county is often _______.A. from second-hand informationB. gathered from other sources than from its inhabitantsC. gained from the arguments about the countryD. different from what one had before the travel29. Differences between peoples ________.A. will gradually disappear because of ease of travelB. do exist even though different nationalities behave exactly alikeC. will always continue to exist and the world will be a dull placeD. will not exist as one hopes30. The underlined word “However” most probably means _________.A. somewhatB. by whatever meansC. anyhowD. no matter whatPassage 3We arranged that Kissinger would fly to Vietnam for talks early in July and then stop in Pakistan on the way back. There he would develop a stomachache that would require him to stay in bed and not be seen by the press. Then, with President Yahya’s cooperation he would be taken to an airport where a Pakistan plane would fly him over the mountains to China.Kissinger’s trip was given the code(密码) name Polo after Marco Polo, another Western traveler who made history by journeying to China. Everything went without a hitch. His slight illness in Islamabad received only minor attention from reporters covering him. They accepted the story that he would be confined to bed for at least a couple of days and began making arrangements for their own entertainment.Because of the need for complete secrecy and the lack of any direct communication facilities between Beijing and Washington, I knew that we would have no word from Kissinger while he was in China. Even after he had returned to Pakistan it would still be important to maintain secrecy. So before Kissinger left, we agreed on a single code word —Eureka －which he would use if his mission were successful.On July 11, Al Haig, who knew our code word, phoned me to saythat a cable from Kissinger had arrived.“What’s the message?” I asked.“Eureka,” he replied.31. Kissinger stopped in Pakistan because ______.A. he happened to have a stomachacheB. he needed a rest after a long journeyC. he had a secret mission to perform thereD. he did not want to be seen by the press32. The reporters in Islamabad believed that ______.A. Kissinger was not feeling wellB. Kissinger had just come back from VietnamC. Kissinger had put off leaving for ChinaD. Kissinger was preparing to entertain them33. The statement “everything went without a hitch” (Para.2) most probably means that ______.A. nothing was easy with the missionB. the plans were carried out with great difficultyC. things went smoothlyD. there was no possibility of success34. There was no news from Kissinger while he was in Beijing, chiefly because _______.A. his trip had to be kept secretB. President Yahya did not go with KissingerC. communication between Beijing and Islamabad was difficultD. the negotiation(谈判) was not successful35. The passage implies that Kissinger’s message “Eureka”was sent _______.A. when the negotiation started in BeijingB. as soon as he arrived in WashingtonC. when he flew to Vietnam on July 11D. when the negotiation was completed in BeijingPassage 4No country in the world has more daily newspapers than the U.S.A. There are almost 2,000 of them, as compared with 180 in Japan, 144 in Argentina and 111 in Britain. The quality of some American papers is extremely high and their views are quoted all over the world. Distinguished dailies like the Washington Post or the New York Times have a powerful influence all over the country. However the Post and the Times are not national newspapers in the sense that The times is in Britain or Le Monde is in France, since each American city has its own daily newspaper. The best of these present detailed accounts of national and international news, but many tend to limit themselves to state or city news.Like the press in most other countries, American newspapers range from the “sensational”, which feature crime, sex and rumor, to the serious,which focus on factual news and the analysis of world events. But with few exceptions American newspapers try to entertain as well as give information, for they have to compete with television.Just as American newspapers give way to all tastes, so do they also try and apply to readers for all political persuasions. A few newspapers support extremist (过激分子) groups on the far right and on the far left, but most daily newspapers attempt to attract middle-of-the-road Americans who are essentially moderate. Many of these papers print columns by well-known journalists of different political and social views in order to present a balanced picture.As in other democratic countries American newspapers can be either responsible or irresponsible, but it is generally accepted that the American press serves its country well and that it has more than once bravely uncovered political scandals (丑闻) or crimes, for instance, the Watergate Affair. The newspapers drew the attention of the public to the fears of the Vietnam War.36. There are fewer national newspapers in ______.A. Britain than in the U.S.A.B. France than in BritainC. the U.S.A. than in Britain or FranceD. France than in the U.S.A. or Britain37. Most American newspapers try to entertain their readers because______.A. they have to keep up a good relation with themB. they have to compete with televisionC. they have to write about crime, sex and rumorD. they have to give factual news in an interesting way38. Many American newspapers attract readers of different political tendency by ______.A. supporting extremist groups from time to timeB. inviting middle-of-the-road Americans to write articles for themC. avoiding carrying articles about extremistsD. printing articles representing different political viewpoints39. In this passage the underlined word “press” (Para.2) means ______.A. a machine for printingB. the business of printingC. great forceD. newspapers40.

Career women are healthier than housewives. Evidence shows that the jobless are in poorer health than jobholders. (51) Aninvestigation shows that whenever the unemployment rate increases by 1%, the death rate increases by 2%. All this comes down to one point, work is helpful to health.Why is work good for health? It is because work keeps people busy away from loneliness. Researches show that people feel unhappy, worried and lonely when they have nothing to do. Instead, the happiest are those who are busy. (52)Many high achievers who love their careers feel that they are happiest when they are working hard. Work serves as a bridge between man and reality. (53)By work people come into contact with each other. By collective activity they find friendship and warmth. This is helpful to health. The loss of work means the loss of everything. It affects man spiritually and makes him ill.(54 )Besides, work gives one a sense of fulfillment and a sense of achievement. Work makes one feel his value and status in society. When a writer finishes his writing or a doctor successfully operates on a patient ora teacher sees his students grow, they are happy beyond words.(55)From the above we can come to the conclusion that the more you work the happier and healthier you will be.

What I did have was a friend who found for me my room in a New York apartment building.It didn't even matter that it was cold and had no bathroom.I immediately bought a used manual typewriter and felt like a genuine writer.After a year or so,however,I still hadn't got a break and began to doubt myself.It was so hard to sell a story that I barely made enough to eat.But I knew I wanted to write.I had dreamed about it for years.I wasn't going to be one of those people who died wondering.What if I would keep putting my dream to test(even though it meant living with uncertainty and fear of failure). This is the shadow-land of hope,and anyone with a dream must learn to live there.51.The passage is meant to_______.A) B) C)warn young people of the hardships that a successful writer has to experience encourage young people to pursue a writing careershow young people it is unrealistic for a writer to pursue wealthD)advise young people to give up their idea of becoming a professional writer52.What can be concluded from the passage?A) B) C) D)A writer’s success depends on luck rather than on effort. Genuine writers often find their work interesting and rewarding. Famous writers usually live in poverty and isolation.The chances for writers to become successful are small.53.Why did the author begin to doubt himself after the first year of his writing career?A) B) C) D)He found his dream would never come true. He hadn't seen a change for the better.He wasn't able to have a rest for a whole year. He was not able to produce a single book.54.In Line13“...people who died wondering”，“who” refers to those.A) B) C) D)who think a lot without making a decision who regret giving up their career halfway who think too much of the dark side of life who are full of imagination even upon deathPassage TwoStudents can travel in the United States without spending too much money if they follow these suggestions.A travel agent can give you information on special economy fares for trains,buses and planes.Think about hiking or biking for a part of your trip,too.You‘ll not only save money,but you'll also see a lot more of the country.Some students may want to travel by car.Be sure to think about going with other students—many colleges have'‘ride boards” that list when and where other students plan to travel.Many radio stations provide the same,sort of service—they announce who’s driving where,when,how many riders they will take and what the expenses will be.There are many inexpensive, older hotels near bus or train stations. Check your travel guide for names of the best. Many parts of the country also have youth hostels where young people can stay for only a few dollars a night.You don't have to eat in restaurants all the time, but we don?t recommend a diet of candy and cola, either. You can usually get a healthy, cheap breakfast in a restaurant. If the weather is warm, you can buy food in supermarkets or at roadside stands and have a picnic for lunch. For dinner you can get the names of good, cheap restaurants from travel guides or friends.55. The passage tells students ______ .A) B) C) how to get help while travelinghow to make travel planshow to use less money while travelingD) how to choose hotels56. To see more of the country, you ’d better travel ______. A) by plane B) by train C) by bus D) by bike57.

B) enjoyable A) eat in restaurants sometimes C) take some food with you B)invite your friends for a picnicD) have more candy and colaPassage ThreeEmily Dickinson was a nineteenth-century American woman who lived her life completely unknown to anyone except her family and a few friends. Less than a dozen of her poems were published during her lifetime. In spite of this, she is regarded today as a great poet, perhaps the greatest poet the United States has produced. Along with the Greek poet Sappho, she may be one oi the two greatest women poets who have ever lived.Dickinson was born on December 10, 1830, in a small Massachusetts town called Amherst. Hers was an oid family; her ancestors had come lo the United States 200 years before. Her parents were not really rich, but they were certainly not poor. She had an older brother, Austin, and a younger sister, Lavinia. Her parents seem to have been rather withdrawn people, and the members of the family spent a good deal of time by themselves. She doesn ’t seem to have liked her mother very much. She spoke once of never really having a mother.She was educated at the local Amherst Academy and Mount Holyoke Women ’ s Seminary. Although she was sometimes described as pretty, she never married. In all outward respects, her life appeared to be rather boring.The time and place in which she lived was not a good one for a woman artist to succeed. Women are expected to be obedient to men and to remain in their place at home. Rather than waste her life in the meaningless round of social events that were open to women, she decided at some point to retreat from the world in order to write her poetry. From then on, she spent a great deal oftime in her bedroom writing. In later years when she was standing in front of her bedroom door, she looked at her niece and said,“It ’s just a turn-and freedom, Mary!” It was when she closed the door of her room and turned the key that locked the door that the most important andcreative hours of her life were spent,the hours when she wrote her poetry.She was regarded as a recluse by many of her neighbors,that is,as a person who spent a good deal of time by herself.59.According to the author,who is the greatest woman poet in America?A)Both Sappho and Dickinson C)Sappho B)Emily Dickinson D)Not mentioned60.Women in Emily Dickinson’s time______.A)are regarded as reclusesB) C)are expected to be obedient to men spend most of their time in social eventD)are expected to retreat from the world61.Emily Dickinson's ancestors came to the United States in around.A)1630B)1830C)1730D)193062.Which of the following statement is NOT true?A) B) C)It is quite likely that Emily Dickinson didn't like her mother.Emily Dickinson regarded being locked in her room as“freedom”.She is well-known in her lifetime and is still regarded as a great poet now.D)Her parents seem to have been rather withdrawn people,and they spent a good deal of time with their family members.Section BDirections: Match the Chinese sentences in the left column with the English in the right column, and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre. 63.国家的前途很大程度上取决于年 A) The happiest people don ’t necessarily have the best things; they just make the most ofeverything that comes along their way.轻一代的教育。

For each of them there are 4 choices marked A,B,C and D. You should decide on the best choice, and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneWhen I was studying English at a training center in Washington D.C. in 1998, I shared a house with two young Americans, Jim, and Steve. Jim was studying French and Steve Chinese, both at the Foreign Service Institute. We shared many things in common, but we also thought and acted quite differently. Steve was interested in speaking Chinese. He always tried every opportunity to talk with me with his very English-like pronunciation. I was often touched with his diligence. However, I wanted to practice English with him, too. So we often speak at the same time in the other’s mother tongue. Jim was fresh from college and the youngest of the three. He was going out all the time. The only time we met was at breakfast. There was a small round table in our kitchen, where we sat around to enjoy our food. Steve had Chinese fast food such as dumplings or noodles, and I ate bread and boiled eggs. But Jim often just drank a cup of tea because he had nothing in his bridge. He was too busy dating pretty French girls to do any shopping. I often offered him some of my food. But Steve told me in his poor Chinese that I didn’t need to do that. He said that it was Jim’s own fault and that it served hi m right. Although he was learning Chinese, he still held his American sense of value.Two years later, I returned to china. The three of us still keep in touch. Jim now works in a travel agency in Paris. He got married to one of the pretty girls. He wrote to tell us that now he can enjoy a delicious breakfast with his beautiful wife every morning in their comfortable living room. Steve wants to work in china. And I’m helping him with this. I have introduced him to the dean of the Overseas Section of our university. He is very interested in Steve. He wants to know if Steve can work here teaching the overseas students Chinese. I have sent the message toSteve. I’m sure he’d be very happy to accept the job. However, I hope he could try harder to improve himself. Otherwise, all the overseas students would speak with his terrible pronunciation!61. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. The three of them were all language majors.B. Steve and Jim were more alike in character.C. The author didn’t enjoy talking with Steve.D. Their living condition was rather poor.62. What is the author’s opinion of Steve?A. Steve was a very hardworking fellow.B.Steve enjoyed cooking Chinese food.C.Steve enjoyed shopping more than Jim.D. Steve’s Chinese accent was quite pure.63. Which of the following is true about Jim?A. Going out with girls cost him a lot of time.B. He had a French way of making friends.C. He learned French in order to date Paris girls.D. He liked doing housework.64. What does the last sentence of the 1st paragraph imply?A. Steve didn’t like offering help to others.B. American people only eat their own food.C. Americans and Chinese differ in their sense of value.D. Steve wanted Jim to do his own shopping.65. From the last paragraph, we can learn that ______.A. Jim is a very good husband.B. Steve enjoys teaching Chinese.C. The author works for overseas students.D. The three friends still keep in touch.Passage TwoHow often one hears children wishing they were grown-ups and old people wishing they were young again. Each age has its pleasures and its pains, and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age gives him without wasting his time in useless regrets.Childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities. If a child has good parents, he is well fed, looked after and loved. It is unlikely that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return. In addition, life is always presenting new things to the child — things that have lost their interest for older people because they are too well known. But a child has his pains:He is not so free to do what he wishes to do; he is continually being told not to do things or being punished for what he has done wrong. Therefore, a child is not happy as he wishes to be.When the young man starts to earn his own living, he becomes free from discipline of school and parents; but at the same time he is forced to accept responsibilities. With no one to pay for his food, his clothes, or his room, he has to work if he wants to live comfortably. If he spends most of his time playing about in the way that he used to as a child, he will go hungry. And if he breaks the laws of society as he used to break the laws of his parents, he may get himself into trouble. If, however, he works hard,goes by the law and has good health, he may feel satisfied in seeing himself make steady progress in his job and in building up for himself his own position in society.Old age has always been thought of as the worst age to be; but it is not necessary for the old to be unhappy. With old age comes wisdom and the ability to help others with advice wisely given. The old can have the joy of seeing their children making progress in life; they can watch their grandchildren growing up around them; and, perhaps best of all, they can, if their life has been a useful one, fell the happiness of having come through the battle of life safely and of having reached a time when they can lie back and rest, leaving everything to others.66.The happiest people should be those who ______.A. Face up to difficulties in lifeB. Hope to be young againC. Enjoy life in different ageD. Wish to be grown up67.The word “they”underlined in Line 4, para. 2 refers to ____.A. Older peopleB. New thingsC. ChildrenD. Interests68. A child has his pains because____. .A. He can not do whatever he wants toB. He is not allowed to play in rainC. He has a lot of new things to learnD. He can not play at the seaside freely69.When a child becomes a grown-up, he is supposed to ____.A.live comfortablyB. Take responsibilitiesC. Make progress in jobD. Impress the society70.The best title of the passage might be ____.A. Pains and AgesB. Differences in AgesC. The Best Age to BeD. Happiness and AgesPassage ThreeLife really should be one long journey of joy for children who are born with a world of wealth at their tiny feet.But experts on psychological research now believe that silver spoons can leave a bitter taste. If suicide statistics are a sign of happiness, then the rich are a miserable lot. Figures show that it is the rich who most often do away with themselves.Dr. Robert Coles, an internationally famous doctor, is the world’s top expert on the influence of money on children. He has written a well-received book on the subject, The Privileged Ones, and his research 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 53-year-old doctor, such as better health, education and future work expectation. But most important is the quality of family life. Money can’t buy love.”It can buy a lot of other things, though, and that’s where the trouble starts. Rich kids have so much to choose from that they often become confused. Their parents’over favoring can makethem spoiled. They tend to travel more than other children, from home to home and country to country, which often makes them feel restless.“But privileged children do have a better sense of their positions in the world,” adds Mr. Coles, “and they are more self-assured.”Today’s rich parents perhaps have realized that their riches can be more of a burden than a favor to their children. So their priority is to ensure that their families are as rich in love as they are in money.71. According to the passage, children of rich families __________.A. enjoy travelingB. can buy loveC. usually commit suicideD. are not always happy72. Dr. Robert Coles believes that __________.A. being rich has as many advantages as being poorB. rich children often get too little entertainmentC. rich children sometimes can’t enjoy the thin g they are most in need ofD. rich children aren’t given enough things73. Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE according to the passage?A. It is love that is always lacking in rich and poor families alike.B. Silver spoons can sometimes leave a bitter taste.C. Money can’t buy everything.D. Rich children are often confused because they have so much to choose from.74. The expression “silver spoons” in Paragraph 1 means __________.A. very expensive spoonsB. rich peopleC. wealthD. spoons made of silver75. This article is written mainly to tell readers that __________.A. the rich are more likely to do away with themselvesB. money can bring a lot of things, including loveC. life is always happy for children of rich parentsD. rich parents should realize what is important in the family is love rather than moneyPassage FourCharlene, a 16-year-old student at a high school, found herself faced with a maths test to which she knew none of the answers. Rather than fail, she took the test out with her and filled in the answers with the help of her friends. During a break, she got back into the classroom without being seen, crumpled the test with her shoe, and left it lying on the floor. The teacher thought it had been dropped when the tests were collected; she corrected it, and Charlene received a B.Cheating is, of course, nothing new. But today, educators are finding that cheating on the part of students has become more frequent than in the past. Whether it is copying a friend's homework, using a prepared sheet on an exam, stealing advance copies of a final, writing down rules in one's hand, or paying someone else to write a term paper, cheating appears to have gained acceptance among a growing number of students between 13 and 19.In a 1978 study of cheating at twenty-two high schools in Georgia, it was found that cheating was common among good and poor students alike——although both boys and girls said they thought boys cheated more.Why is student cheating on the rise? No one really knows. Some blame cheating on a general loss of good values among today's youth. They point to facts showing increased damage of public things and school stealing and think that reports, such as Watergate have disappointed youth about the honesty of people in higher positions.Others think that today's youth are far more practical than their forefathers. In the late sixties and early seventies, students were filled with imaginations about changing the world, but today's students feel great stress to succeed.76. According to Paragraph 1, Charlene took the test out because ____.A. her friends could answer none of the problemsB. she tore the test paper to piecesC. she stepped her shoes on the test paperD. she did not want to fail in the math test77. Charlene passed the test because ____.A. she answered all the questions by herselfB. she did the test by cheatingC. she persuaded her teacher to give her a BD. she returned to the classroom to redo the test78. Which of the following is not an example to show that cheating is becoming more and more common?A. A student pays another for doing a test paper.B. A student writes down something to be tested before an exam.C. A student gets well prepared in his studies before an exam.D. A student gets homework from his classmate and then copies it.79. The 1978 study of cheating in Georgia shows that ____.A. only students in the 24 high schools cheated in examinationsB. both good and poor students cheated in examinationsC. boys liked cheating while girls did not like itD. more girls cheated in examinations than boys did80. One of the facts for the rise of cheating is that ____.A. more and more public things are damagedB. good values disappoint studentsC. more and more students begin to stealD. honest people are in higher positionPart Ⅳ Translation (2×10 points)Directions:There are 10 sentences in this section. Please translate sentences 8185 from Chinese into English, and translate sentences 8690 from English into Chinese. Write your answer on the Answer Sheet.81.这个漂亮干净的城市给外国旅游者留下了深刻的印象。

You should read the reading materials carefully and do the tasks as you are instructed.Task 1Virtual reality is created by using display and control technology to surround its users with artificial environment that mimics (模仿) real life. Through the use of visual and sound effects, things that don’t exist can be made to appear to exist. Virtual reality allows users to monitor objects on the screen so they can become full participants in the three-dimensional setting that develops them.While this technology’s most advanced applications at the moment are in entertainment such as virtual reality golf and the virtual reality game rooms springing up all over the world, researchers say its potential is enormous. They see it impacting everything, from education to medicine and science to business and government. For example, virtual reality is giving scientists the ability to work surrounded by images of molecules and other objects that once required an electronic microscope study. Researchers predict that surgeons in training will be able to practice bodies while experienced surgeons will benefit from new techniques developed from virtual reality applications.31. Virtual reality is .A) what we can see in realityB) created by advanced technologyC) an imaginary realityD) a new reality we live in32. The last word “them” in the first paragraph refers to .A) visual and sound effectsB) users of visual realityC) objects monitored on the screenD) three-dimensional settings33. At present virtual reality technology is mainly applied in the field of .A) entertainmentB) businessC) educationD) medicine34. It can be inferred from the passage that .A) an electronic microscope may one day be out of fashionB) virtual reality technology can only be used in some areasC) things can come into being through virtual realityD) virtual reality technology is the most advanced one today35. Virtual reality technology can benefit surgeons in that .A) no real body has to be used in their training processB) they don’t have to operate on patients any moreC) they don’t have to use any equipment in operationD) there will be no patientsTask 2The $11 billion self-help industry is built on the idea that you should turn negative thoughts like "I never do anything right" into positive ones like "I can succeed." But was positive thinking advocate Norman Vincent Peale right? Is there power in positive thinking?Researchers in Canada just published a study in the journal Psychological Science that says trying to getpeople to think more positively can actually have the opposite effect: it can simply highlight how unhappy they are.The study's authors, Joanne Wood and John Lee of the University of Waterloo and Elaine Perunovic of the University of New Brunswick, begin by citing older research showing that when people get feedback which they believe is overly positive, they actually feel worse, not better. If you tell your dim friend that he has the potential of an Einstein, you're just underlining his faults. In one 1990s experiment, a team including psychologist Joel Cooper of Princeton asked participants to write essays opposing funding for the disabled. When the essayists were later praised for their sympathy, they felt even worse about what they had written.In this experiment, Wood, Lee and Perunovic measured 68 students' self-esteem. The participants were then asked to write down their thoughts and feelings for four minutes. Every 15 seconds, one group of students heard a bell. When it rang, they were supposed to tell themselves, "I am lovable."Those with low self-esteem didn’t feel better after the forced self-affirmation. In fact, their moods turned significantly darker than those of members of the control group, who weren't urged to think positive thoughts.The paper provides support for newer forms of psychotherapy (心理治疗) that urge people to accept their negative thoughts and feelings rather than fight them. In the fighting, we not only often fail but can make things worse. Meditation (静思) techniques, in contrast, can teach people to put their shortcomings into a larger, more realistic perspective. Call it the power of negative thinking.36. What do we learn from the first paragraph about the self-help industry?A) It was established by Norman Vincent Peale.B) It is based on the concept of positive thinking.C) It is a highly profitable industry.D) It has yielded positive results.37. What is the finding of the Canadian researchers?A) Encouraging positive thinking many do more harm than good.B) The power of positive thinking is limited.C) Unhappy people cannot think positively.D) There can be no simple therapy for psychological problems.38. What does the author mean by "… you're just underlining his faults" (Line 4, Para. 3)?A) You are pointing out the errors he has committed.B) You are not taking his mistakes seriously enough.C) You are trying to make him feel better about his faults.D) You are emphasizing the fact that he is not intelligent.39. What do we learn from the experiment of Wood, Lee and Perunovic?A) It is important for people to continually boost their self-esteem.B) Forcing a person to think positive thoughts may lower their self-esteem.C) Self-affirmation can bring a positive change to one's mood.D) People with low self-esteem seldom write down their true feelings.40. What do we learn from the last paragraph?A) People can avoid making mistakes through meditation.B) Meditation may prove to be a good form of psychotherapy.C) The effects of positive thinking vary from person to person.D) Different people tend to have different ways of thinking.Task 3Directions: The following is part of a job advertisement.

Reading Comprehension (60 points)Directions:There are four reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by five questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose one best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet. Passage OneWhat’s the best way to protect a tender, green seedling from the hungry stomach of deer Give the seedling bad breath! The same chemical that gives people bad breath after they have eaten garlic can save small trees from being eaten by animals.A kind of chemical selenium(硒), which is also found in garlic, is planted in the soil near a young tree. The tree’s roots absorb the selenium which is then carried to the leaves.From there the selenium is used to form a chemical called dimethyl selenide (乙烷硒化物)-the same chemical made in the human mouth after eating garlic. As deer wander around looking for food, they smell the seedlings’ leaves and leave the plants alone.The selenium is important. Why Because each year deer eat millions of dollars’ worth of trees farm seedlings.So far, selenium has been tested only on Douglas fir (枞树) seedlings, but researchers think they could protect fruit trees and garden plants, too.61. When people eat garlic, ________.A. they send out a horrible smellB. they are out of breathC. they will feel sickD. it is hard for them to breathe62. According to this passage the bad smell given off from those leaves is that of ______.the young trees absorb garlicthe roots of the young trees smell like garlicthe young trees aren’t fit for the deer to eatthe leaves of the young trees smell like garlic64. Up till the time the news was announced, this kind of chemical was used _______.A. all over the worldB. all over the United StatesC. on fruit trees and garden treesD. on Douglas fir young trees65. The best title of this passage is ________.A. Hungry Deer and Young TreesB. Why Don’t Deer Eat Young Fruit TreesC. Plants Saved by “Bad Breath”D. How to Protect Young Trees Passage TwoHair loss is one of those things we still do not understand. Science has, of course, shown that men are more likely than women to suffer major hair loss. Some kinds of hair loss are temporary (暂时的), an effect of illness. In those cases we canexpect the hair to grow back.It all depends on whether the hair root is alive. If it is not, hair loss is permanent and nothing will help.Some daily loss of hair is a normal, healthy sign. Most people lose between 40 to 50 scalp hairs each day.Each of these scalp hairs grows for from two to six years and then rests. About three months later it is pushed out by a new hair growing from the same root.This is not something that should cause great concern. Something else we know is that normal hair loss is seasonal, with the most hair loss occurring in the fall. Everyone experiences a normal cycle of loss and growth.The problem of hair loss results when loss is greater than growth.The main cause of hair loss in men seems to be accumulation (积累) of a hormone (荷尔蒙) in the body. When that hormone reaches a certain level, the hair growing period is shortened and hair loss is the result. This is no cure for most cases of hair loss. This, however, is not the end of the world.66. According to science, _________.hair loss is a normal, healthy signman should pay special attention to hair lossit’s likely that men have more problems of hair lossmen lose more hair than women do67. The writer thinks _______.illness causes hair losshuman beings have no way to cure hair losshair loss happening in the fall is an effect of illnesshair loss is permanent68. We now know that the most hair loss happening in the autumn is ________.A. permanentB. healthy signC. seasonalD. nothing serious69. The sentence “This, however, is not the end of the world”means _______.man is sure to find the best way of curing his hair loss in the futurethe writer believes the earth exists for everwe can’t destroy the world by any meansthe last day will never come to our people70. The best title for the passage may be ________.A. Loss or GrowthB. Hair LossC. Healthy SignD. Change with SeasonsPassage ThreeOn the morning of November 18,1755, an earthquake shook Boston,Massachusetts. John Winthrop, a professor at Harvard College, felt the quake and awoke. “I rose,” Winthrop wrote, “and lighting a candle, looked on my watch, and found it was 15 minutes after four.” John Winthrop went downstairs to the grandfather clock. It had stopped four minutes before, at 4:11. Except for stopping the clock, the quake had only thrown a key from the mantel (壁炉台) to the floor.The clock had stopped because Winthrop had put some long glass tubes he was using for an experiment into the case for care. The quake had knocked the tubes over and blocked the pendulum (钟摆). Winthrop, therefore, had the exact time that the earthquake had hit Boston. He looked at the key on the floor. The quake had thrown it forward in the direction of the quake’s motion (运动) by a shock coming from the northwest, perhaps in Canada.71. The text proves that _______.the power of nature is terribleearthquakes happen most often during nighttime hoursthe direction of an earthquake can be discovereduniversities study the cause of earthquakes72. The text suggests that _________.A. Boston was badly destroyedB. earthquakes are common inBostonC. John Winthrop had difficulty sleepingD. John Winthrop wasa scientist73. Which of the following is true________.Some tubes were broken into pieces and stopped the old clock The professor lit a candle because of power failureBoston is in the southeast of CanadaThe shocks were slight in one way74. The earthquake happened ________.A. several minutes before the professor awokeB. and the professor awoke at 4:15C. in the centre of BostonD. when John Winthrop felt it75. Choose the right order according to the text.a. The bed was shaking and John Winthrop awoke.b. John Winthrop looked attentively at this watch.c. John Winthrop got up to light a candle.d. The earthquake happened in Boston in 1755.e. John Winthrop knew the quake’s direction.f. John Winthrop knew the exact quake’s time.g. John Winthrop looked at the key on the floor.A. g, d, e, a, c, b, fB. d, a, c, b, f, g, eC. a, e, d, c, b, f, gD. e, d, g, b, c, a, fPassage FourOceanography has been defined as “The application of all sciences to the study of the sea”.Before the nineteenth century scientists with an interest in the sea were few and far between. Certainly Newton considered some theoretical aspects of it in his writings, but he was reluctant to go to sea to further his work.For most people the sea was remote, and with the exception of early intercontinental travelers or others who earned a living from the sea, there was little reason to ask many questions about it, let alone to ask what lay beneath the surface. The first time that the question “What is at the bottom of the oceans” had to be answered with any commercial consequence was when the laying of a telegraph cable from Europe to America was proposed. The engineer had to know the depth profile (起伏形状) of the route to estimate the length of cable that had to be manufactured.It was to Maury of the US Navy that the Atlantic Telegraph Company turned, in 1853, for information on this matter. In the 1840s, Maury had been responsible for encouraging voyages during which soundings (测水深) were taken to investigate the depths of the North Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Later, someof his findings aroused much popular interest in his book The Physical Geography of the Sea.The cable was laid, but not until 1866 was the connection made permanent and reliable. At the early attempts, the cable failed and when it was taken out for repairs it was found to be covered in living growths, a fact which defied contemporary scientific opinion that there was no life in deeper parts of the sea. Within a few years oceanography was under way. In 1872 Thomson led a scientific expedition (考察), which lasted for four years and brought home thousands of samples from the sea. Their classification and analysis occupied scientists for years and led to five-volume report, the last volume being published in 1895.76. The proposal to lay a telegraph cable from Europe to America made oceanographic studies take on ________.A. an academic aspectB. a military aspectC. a business aspectD. an international aspect77. It was ________ that asked Maury for help in oceanographic studies.A. the American NavyB. some early intercontinental travelersC. those who earned a living from the seaD. the company which proposed to lay an undersea cable78. The aim of the voyages Maury was responsible for in the 1840s was _______.to make some sounding experiments in the oceansto collect samples of sea plants and animalsto estimate the length of cable that was neededto measure the depths of the two oceans79. “Defied” in the 5th paragraph probably means “________”.A. doubtedB. gave proof toC. challengedD. agreed to80. This passage is mainly about _______.A. the beginnings of oceanographyB. the laying of the first undersea cableC. the investigation of ocean depthsD. the early intercontinental communicationsⅤ.

He took a number of sticks of equal length and gave one stick to each man.He then said, "Come before me again tomorrow.

But scientists and technicians have been making them smaller and cheaper while at the same time they have been made easier to use. As a result, their popularity has been increasing as more people have been buying computers for their homes and businesses.Computers have been designed to store information and compute problems that are difficult for human beings to work out.

Offices use computers to copy letters, record business and keep in touch with other offices. People have been using computers in their homes to keep track of the money they spend.One important new use for computers is for entertainment.

He was glad and stared at it for some time, then wrote "105" on the corner of the trademark with a pencil, meaning he had already drunk 105 bottles of the famous wine. Two days later a stranger came. He offered to pay 5 yuan for the empty Mao Tai bottle. Mr. Chen was pleased and sold it. Several weeks later, his second son brought him another bottle of Mao Tai. While examining and enjoying it, he was suddenly terrified-he found "105"-the very mark on it.71. The story is mainly about _______.A. two sons of Mr. Chen"sB. wine, the best presentC. the secret of "105"D. an empty bottle worth 5 yuan72.

According to the story, who do you say learned a lesson?A. The strangerB. Mr. ChenC. His neighbourD. Mr. Chen"s eldest son Passage FourDo you find getting up in the morning so difficult that it is painful? This might be called laziness, but Dr. Kleitman has a new explanation. He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle.During the hours when you labour through your work you may say that you"re "hot". That"s true. The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak. For some people the peak comes during the forenoon. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so, but it leads to such familiar monologues (自言自语) as: "Get up, John! You"ll be late for work again!" The possible explanation to the trouble is that John is at his temperature-and-energy peak in the evening. Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean, and which cycle each member of the family has.You can"t change your energy cycle, but you can learn tomake your life it better. Habit can help, Dr. Kleitman believes. Maybe you"re sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway. Counteract (对抗) your cycle to some extent by habitually staying up later than you want to. If your energy is low in the morning but you have an important job to do early in the day, rise before your usual hour. This won"t change your cycle, but you"ll get up steam (鼓起干劲) and work better at your low point.Get off to a slow start which saves your energy. Get with a leisurely yawl and stretch. Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the trouble some search for clean clothes by laying them out the night before. When ever possible, do routine work in the afternoon and save tasks requiring more energy or concentration for your sharper hours.76. If a person finds getting up early a problem, most probably _______.he is a lazy personhe refuses to follow his own energy cyclehe is not sure when his energy is lowhe is at his peak in the afternoon or evening77. Which of the following may lead to family quarrels according to the passage?A. Unawareness of energy cycles.B. Familiar monologues.C. A change in a family member"s energy cycle.Attempts to control the energy cycle of other family member.78. If one wants to work more efficiently at his low point in the morning, he should _____.A. change his energy cycle C. get up earlier than usualB. overcome his laziness D. go to bed earlier79. You are advised to rise with a yawn and stretch because it will ______.help to keep your energy for the day"s workhelp you to control your temper early in the dayenable you to concentrate on your routine workkeep your energy cycle under control all day80. Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?Getting off to work with a minimum effort helps save one"s energy.Dr. Kleitman explains why people reach their peak at different hours of day.Habit helps a person adapt to his own energy cycle.Children have energy cycles, too.Ⅴ. Writing (20 points)Directions:For this part, you are allowed 20 minutes to write a short composition of about 80 words on the title: Fake Commodities.
