Enter the Red Hat Society —a group holding the belief that old ladies should have fun."My grandmothers didn't do anything but keep house and serve everybody. They were programmed to do that," said Emily Cornette, head of a chapter of the 7-year-old Red Hat Society.While men have long spent their time fishing and playing golf, womenhave sometimes seemed to become unnoticed as theyage. But the generation now turning 50 is the baby boomers （生育高峰期出生的人），and the same people who refused their parents' way of being young are now trying a new way of growing old.If you take into consideration feminism （女权主义）,a bit of spare money, and better health for most elderly, the Red Hat Society looks almost inevitable （必然的）.Inthis society, women over 50 wear red hats and purple （紫色的）clothes, while thewomen under 50 wear pink hats and light purple clothing."The organization took the idea from a poem by Jenny Joseph that begins: 'When Iam an old woman, I shall wear purple. With a red hat which doesn't go,'" said Ellen Cooper, who founded the Red Hat Society in 1998. When the ladies started to wear the red hats, they attracted lots of attention."The point of this is that we need a rest from always doing something for someone else," Cooper said. "Women feel so ashamed and sorry when they do something for themselves." This is why chapters are discouraged from raising money or doing anything useful. "We're a ladies' play group. It couldn't be simpler," added Cooper's assistant Joe Heywood.1小题＞The underlined word "chapter" in Paragraph 2 means.A a branch of an organizationB a written agreement of a clubC a part of a collection of poemsD a period in a society's history 答案解析：点击杳看答案解析2小题＞From the text, we know that the "baby boomers" are a group of people whoA have gradually become more noticeableB are worried about getting old too quicklyC are enjoying a good life with plenty of money to spendD tried living a different life from their parents when they were young答案解析：点击查看答案解析3小题＞It could be inferred from the text that members of the Red Hat Society are.A interested in raising money for social workB programmers who can plan well for their futureC believers in equality between men and womenD good at cooking big meals and taking care of others答案解析：点击查看答案解析4小题＞Who set up the Red Hat Society?A Emily Cornette.B Ellen Cooper.C Jenny Joseph.D Joe Heywood.答案解析：点击查看答案解析5小题＞Women join the Red Hat Society because.A they want to stay youngB they would like to appear more attractiveC they would like to have fun and live for themselvesD they want to be more like their parents答案解析：点击查看答案解析第19 题：Reading Comprehension:There have been at least four such pigeon pick-ups in Changwa. What at first seemed like the work of a clever stay at-home car thief, however, may in fact be the work of an even lazier and more inventive criminal mind one that avoids（避免）not onlycollecting money but going out to steal the car in the first place. Police officer Chen says that the criminal probably has played a double trick, he gets money for things he cannot possibly return. Instead of stealing cars, he lets someone else do it and then waits for the car-owner to place an ad （启示）in the newspaper asking for help.The theory is supported by the fact that, so far, none of the stolen cars have been returned. Also, the amount of money demanded— under 3,000 Taiwanese dollars —seems too little for a car worth many times more.Demands for pigeon-delivered money stopped as soon as the press reported the story.And even if they start again, Chen holds little hope of catching the criminal."We have more important things to do," he said. 1小题＞After the car owner received a phone call, he.A went to a certain pigeon and put some money in the bag it carriedB gave the money to the thief and had his car back in a parkC sent some money to the thief by mailD told the press about it答案解析：点击查看答案解析2小题＞The "lazier and more inventive" criminal refers to.A the car thief who stays at homeB one of those who put the ads in the paperC one of the policemen in ChangwaD the owner of the pigeons 答案解析：点击杳看答案解析3小题＞The writer mentions the fact that "none of the stolen cars have been returned" to show.A how easily people get fooled by criminalsB what Chen thinks might be correctC the thief is extremely cleverD the money paid is too little答案解析：点击查看答案解析4小题＞The underlined word "they" in the last paragraph refers to.A criminalsB pigeonsC the stolen carsD demands for money答案解析：点击查看答案解析5小题＞We may infer from the text that the criminal knows how to reach the car owners becauseA he reads the ads in the newspaperB he lives in the same neighborhoodC he has seen the car owners in the parkD he has trained the pigeons to follow them答案解析：点击查看答案解析第20 题：Reading Comprehension:Last August, Joe and Mary Mahoney began looking at colleges for their 17-year-olddaughter, Maureen. With a checklist of criteria in hand, the Dallas family lookedaround the country visiting half a dozen schools. They sought a university thatoffered the teenager's intended major, one located near a large city, and a campus where their daughter would be safe."The safety issue is a big one," says Joe Mahoney, who quickly discovered he wasn't alone in his worries. On campus tours other parents voiced similar concerns, andthe same question was always asked, what about crime? But when college officialsalways gave the same answer — "That's not a problem here," Mahoney began to feel uneasy."No crime whatsoever?" comments Mahoney today. "I just don't buy it." Nor should he. in 1999 the U.S. Department of Education had reports of nearly 400,000 serious crimes on or around our campuses. "Parents need to understand that times have changed since they went to college," says David Nichols, author of Creating a Safe Campus"Campus crime mirrors the rest of the nation."But getting accurate information isn't easy. Colleges must report crime statistics by law, but some hold back for fear of bad publicity, leaving the honest ones looking dangerous. "The truth may not always be obvious," warns S. Daniel Carter of Security on Campus, Inc., the nation's leading campus safety watchdog group.To help concerned parents, Carter promised to visit campuses and talk to experts around the country to find out major crime issues and effective solutions.1小题＞The Mahoneys visited quite a few colleges last August.A to express the opinions of many parentsB to choose a right one for their daughterC to check the cost of college educationD to find a right one near a large city 答案解析：点击查看答案解析2小题＞It is often difficult to get correct information on campus crime because some colleges.A receive too many visitorsB mirror the rest of the nationC hide the truth of campus crimeD have too many watchdog groups 答案解析：点击查看答案解析3小题＞The underlined word "buy" in the third paragraph re, cansA mindB admitC believeD expect答案解析：点击查看答案解析4小题＞We learn from the text that "the honest ones" in the fourth paragraph most probably refers to collegesA that are protected by campus securityB that report campus crime by lawC that are free from campus crimeD that enjoy very good publicity答案解析：点击查看答案解析5小题＞What is the text mainly about?A Exact campus crime statistics.B Crimes on or around campuses.C Effective solutions to campus crime.D Concerns about kids'campus safety.答案解析：点击查看答案解析第21 题：Reading Comprehension:The house was quiet at 5 am and Tim's mother was asleep. Only the sound of the big freezer broke the quiet. He'd dreamt of the cave last night. The purring of the freezer had been the sea.Tim pulled on a sweater and put some apples into his schoolbag. It was too earlyfor breakfast. He'd eat after he'd been through the cave, sitting on the rocks and staring at the sea.He wished he had a proper pack. His schoolbag would have to do. What else?Sandwiches-but his mother might wake up if he started pulling out bread for sandwiches, she'd want to know why he had to leave so early. He settled for some biscuits, and left a note stuck to the table:Gone to Michael's. Back tonight. Tim.The sky was high and soft and light outside, though the sun still wasn't up. Eventhe highway up the hill was quiet as he made his way down the street. The wind fromthe sea was fresh and sweet.The sandhills still breathed heat from yesterday's sun, though the top of the sand was cool. He ran down to the beach impatiently, but there was no one, just dry sand dancing in the early wind and seabirds marching up and down watching the waves.The light changed suddenly. The first rays of sunlight stretched across the sea.The sun was pushing its way over the edge of the world.Over the first rocks, along to the point, Tim glanced back. The beach was still empty. The sun sailed higher in the sky. He could see the cave now, even darker in the morning light. The sand turned silver then dark gold as the water flowedaway from it. He had to force himself to go closer. Whywas it so much more mysterious now? But it would be silly to go back now after so much trouble. He needn't go in all the way.1小题＞What did Tim do at the beginning of the story?A He left the house quietly.B He had breakfast at home.C He left a note on the freezer.D He put a sweater in his schoolbag.答案解析：点击查看答案解析2小题＞"He settled for some biscuits " (in Paragraph 3) means that Tim.A had to leave the biscuits on the tableB liked biscuits better than sandwichesC had to take biscuits instead of sandwichesD could only find some biscuits in the kitchen答案解析：点击查看答案解析3小题＞What made it possible for Tim to see the entry to the cave?A The height of the first rocks.B The ups and downs of the waves.C The change in the position of the sun.D The vast stretch of the sunlit beach.答案解析：点击查看答案解析4小题＞Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the story?A The sea looked like a piece of gold.B Seabirds flew away when Tim arrived.C Tim was the only person on the beach.D The sky got dark as Tim reached the cave.答案解析：点击查看答案解析5小题＞In the story, Tim's mood6情)changed from.A loneliness to crazinessB anxiousness to excitementC helplessness to happinessD eagerness to nervousness答案解析：点击查看答案解析第22题：单选题：Without electricity, what?A will the world be likeB would the world be likeC the world will be likeD the world be like答案解析：点击查看答案解析第23题：单选题：The great damage which the flood made a great many people homeless.A brought toB brought aboutC brought upD brought out答案解析：点击查看答案解析第24题：单选题：We always keep spare paper, in case we run out.A too muchB a number ofC plenty ofD a good many答案解析：点击查看答案解析第25题：单选题：Hard work has the waste hill into green field.A changedB turnedC becomeD got答案解析：点击杳看答案解析第26题：单选题: catching the fever himself the man kindly carried the sick child home.A A head ofB At the sightC At the risk ofD By way of答案解析：点击查看答案解析第27题：单选题：The road sign is easy to read; the words well.A make outB stand outC work outD turn out答案解析：点击查看答案解析第28题：单选题：I'm very grateful for your help and hope that someday I may be able to do some thing for youA in exchangeB insteadC in returnD in particular答案解析：点击查看答案解析第29题：单选题：How can he without money for food during the journey?A get togetherB get alongC get backD get down答案解析：点击查看答案解析第30题：单选题：I think Father would like to know I've been up to so far, so I decide to send him a quick note.A whichB whyC whatD how答案解析：点击查看答案解析第31题：单选题：Sports and games can be great help to us.A ofB atC onD in答案解析：点击查看答案解析第32题：单选题：After her time in hospital, Jenny's parents are afraid she has in her lessons.A fallen behindD fallen off答案解析：点击查看答案解析第33题：单选题：He an old friend in the street the other day.A came aboutB came acrossC came fromD came into答案解析：点击查看答案解析第34题：单选题：Every year a lot of life species die.A outB awayC ofD from答案解析：点击杳看答案解析第35题：单选题：We're trying to ring you back, Bryan, but we think we your number incorrectly.A looked upB took downC worked outD brought about答案解析：点击查看答案解析第36题：单选题：Kate can't drive yet, but she wants.A the own carB the car of her ownC an own carD a car of her own答案解析：点击查看答案解析第37题：单选题：I thought it was going to rain but it has fine.B come outC brought outD put up with答案解析：点击查看答案解析第38题：单选题：She made a few mistakes playing the violin, but you should make for her since she's only been playing for a year.A allowancesB promisesC roomD way答案解析：点击杳看答案解析第39题：单选题：How happy they are!

Each passage is followed by fivequestions or unfinished statements.For each ofthem there are four choicesmarked A, B C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on theANS H ER SHEET. Passage OneBig data can be defined as information that is too big or complex to be containedor processed by any one machine or person.AsastudentattheUniversity of Sussex, Julian Dailly had two majors –English and philosophy. When he completed his studies, Dailly wondered how he would everearn a living in a world filled with machines and technology. Now, he is part of the big data industry that includes Google andFacebook.Dailly's research company,Morar Consulting,started three years ago with fiveemployees.The company's earnings have increased by 25 % each year.It now employs90 people."What we do here is we try to discover what's meaningful forpeople and Linkthattotheireconomicbehavio r,‖Daillysaid.He noted the importance of working with people with different skills."We havepeople from traditional research backgrounds,in addition to some in social sciences,economics,people from tech backgrounds,and sales people," Dailly said. Companies like Dailly's employ recent college graduates.The industry profitsfrom the ideas ofthese young men and women. New forms ofdata also make it possiblefor some observers to predict the future. They are more valuable to companies than thetraditional forms ofdata recording or reporting."We have access to the core information inside people's heads," Dailly said."Theytell you what people are going to do as opposed to what they've done. That helps peopletake proper action in advance. This makes it much more useful for strategy."Julian Dailly dismisses c oncerns that computers have finally taken control ofourdaily lives. "Some may worry that humans will be allowed to be replaced by machines.Ithink it's a fantasy."16.Dailly has an educationbackground of ______.A.engineeringB.artsC. sciencesD.business17.Dailly'scompany focuses on businesses in ______.A. marketing strategyB.machinesellingC. staff trainingD.bigdataresearch18.The company's staffis characterized by all the following EXCEPT ______.A.freshideasB.youngageC. mixed education backgroundsD. rich experience in the field19.The company is aimed at making use of the information to help people ______.A.take predictive actionB.rememberthepastC. learn fromeachotherD.stick to the tradition20.According to Dailly, the idea that humans may be replaced by machines ______.A.isawisewarningB.ispureimaginationC.maycometrueD.needsfurtherstudyPassage TwoA new record for the oldest woman to run a marathon has been set, but it may notstand for more than a year Hariette Thompson, 92, said that she hasn't ruled outrunning the Rock'n' Roll Marathon in San Diego again next year. Hariette finished in7 hours, 24 minutes, 36 seconds, the BBC reports, coming close to the over-90 record of7 hours, 7 minutes, and 42 seconds she set in 2014, despite having a very difficult yearbetween marathons."I couldn't train very well because my husband was very ill and Ihad to be with him for some time, and then when he died in January Ihad sometreatments o n my leg," Thompson, who was in her 70s when she ran her first marathon, Tellsthe AP."Iwasjust really thrilled that I could finish today.At 92 years and 65 days old, Thompson is 46 days older than Gladys Burrill waswhen Burill finished the 2010 Honolulu Marathon.―I can't believeI made it,‖Thompson tells the Charlotte Observer.

But thenI felt better coming down the hill. And my sonBrennykeptfeedingmeallthesewonder (碳水化合物)thatkeptmegoing.‖Thompson—whoseparents,threebrothers,andhusbandalldied of cancer-tells the Observerthat the San Diego marathon's fundraising for the Leukemia(白血病) Society is what inspired her to run and may even bring her back again nextyear.21.What does Thompson say about the San Diego marathon next year?A.ShemaynotbeabletobethereB.Shehasn'tthoughtaboutitC.

Thepavements are stained with chewing gum and the ditches are full of discarded fast foodpackets. Years ago Iremember traveling abroad and being saddened by the plastic bagsand discarded bottles.owadays, Britain seems to look at least as bad. What has gonewrong?The problem is that the rubbish created by our increasingly mobile lives lasts a lotlonger than before. If it is not cleared up and properly thrown away, it stays in theundergrowth(下层灌木) foryears.It is estimated that 10 billion plastic bags have been given to shoppers. These willtake anything from 100 to 1,000 years to rot However, it is not as it there is no solutionto this. A few years ago, the Irish government introduced a tax on non-recyclable carrierbags and in three months reduced their use by 90%. When he was a minister, MichaelMeacher attempted to introduce a similar arrangement in Britain. The plastics industryprotested, ofcourse. However, they need not have bothered; the idea was killed before itcoulddrawbreath,leavingsupermarkets free to give away plastic bags. What is clearly necessary right now is some sort of combined action, bothindividualand collective,before it is too late.The alternative is to continue slidingdownhill untilwehaveacountrythatlooks like a vast rubbishtip. Wemaywellbeatthetippingpoint.Yetweknowthatpeoplerespondtotheirenvironment.Ifthi ngs around them are clean and tidy, people behave cleanly and tidily. If they are surroundedby rubbish,they behave like rubbish.Now,much of Britain looks pretty dirty.Whatwill it look like in five years? 26.What might be the best title for the passage?A.PlasticBagsB.Environment ProtectionD.RubbishDisposal C.DirtyBritain27.Theplasticsindustryin Britain protested because ______.A.a tax was proposed on non-recyclable carrier bagsB.supermarkets no longer gave away plastic bagsC.theywereblamedforcausingplasticpollutionD. the government did not support them28.The expression "sliding downhill" (Para.4) probably means"______‖A.working hard to reduce rubbishB.producing more plastic bagsC.encouraging people to use plastic bagsD. making things worse by taking no action29.Which ofthe following best describes the author's outlook on the environment?A.

There are often meetings with documents, an agenda, and a chairman.All those present will have their say,after which their remarks arediscussed. He who decides to skip a meeting though he has nothing more urgent to attend to,will find itunwise.The interacting that takes place during a meeting is very importantfor the general process. He who does not appear is saying that he does not think the subject is sufficiently important,or that he apparently does not take his colleaguesseriously.Furthermore,he might miss some of the essential information that maybecome evident during the meeting.Those who are present show an interest in theproblems of their colleagues. They supply questions, rather than commands, and thusdeclare themselves"co-responsibl e‖. The Dutch,in their final conclusions,like to usesuch metaphors as"We are all in one line" or ―Our noses are pointing in the samedirection again.‖If you present a decision, you will find that everyone has something to say about itand has questions to ask. This is why the Dutch will not be quick to present somethingastheonly correctsolution.Theadvantagetothisapproach isthat such ameeting willoften lead to genuine suggestions for improvement on certain aspects of a plan. As aresult, the plan will be ajoint approach.This time-consuming and seemingly useless process helps colleagues become ateam. The amount oftime that is lost around the table is more than what made up forinefficiency,once everyone goes back to work.Statistics show Dutch employees areamong the world leaders when it comes to work productivity.31.According to Paragraph 1, meetings in Dutch companies seem to ______.A.beheldusuallyforimportantissueB.waste a lot oftimein fruitless discussionC.enable employees to know each other betterD. be good occasions for employees to show their talent32.To Dutch employees, one who is absent from a meeting ______.A.doesnottakehiscolleaguesseriousB.may have something more urgentto doC.does not miss much critical informationD.may have nothing to say at the meeting33.According to Paragraph 3,why can't Dutch employees come to a quick decision?A.People are constantly in dispute.B.An idea usually undergoes a full discussion.C.Suggestions often lead nowhere.D.People often forget the aims ofmeetings.34.What does the last paragraph tell us?A.Many leaders in the world are Dutch.B.Dutch employees are highly productive.C.Dutchcompaniesare the most successful in the world.D.Dutchemployeesworkhardest intheworld.35.The author's attitude towards the Dutch meeting is quiteA. unclearB.negativeC. positiveD.neutralPart II Vocabulary and Structure (20 points)Directions : There are 40 incomplete sentences in this part.

One Friday afternoon he was riding along the track towards the Henderson farm. He was looking for a prize bull which had escaped from the Borrogee paddock. He reached the hills and saw at once that he could not go furth er.There had been a fire in the forest which had gone out. But the air was still full o f smoke and fallen trees had blocked the track. Jack was just going to turn back when he saw something moving in the smoke. He waited. It was a girl on a horse, and she w as riding towards him. “There’s a badly burnt man on the farm,” the girl shouted. “He saved my life. Please help me to save him.”The girl was Cathy Henderson. She had been on horseback for two hours. She ha d to jump over fallen trees that were still burning. Her pony had fallen with her twice. She was thirsty and almost dead from want of sleep. But she rode back to the farm wit h Jack immediately.Joe Brook was unconscious when they reached him. They lifted him onto Jack’shorse. The ride back to Borrogee was terrible. Cathy was so tired that Jack had to tie h er to her pony. The pony was tired too, but its courage was astonishing. It followed Ja ck right to Borrogee Hospital. Nobody saw them arrive because it was night.“I’ve never seen a horse like that pony,” Jack said.

Dr. Aiken studied a number of couples who had been married for at least twenty-five year s. Each couple provided four photographs—one photo of each partner at the time of th eir marriage and another photo of each partner twenty-five or more years later. All bac kground was cut from the photos to remove any clues. The photos were then displaye d in groups: a random grouping of the persons at the time of their marriage and anothe r random grouping of the same persons who took photographs later. Some testees wer e asked to pick out the partners. They failed totally with the first group. Their judgeme nts were no better than chance. But with the photos taken twenty-five or more years af ter the marriage, the testees were quite successful with the most happily-married coup les.Dr. Aiken believes there are several reasons why couples grow alike. One reason has something to do with imitation. One person tends to copy or do the same as some one else without knowing it. He says human begins to imitate the expressions of the fa ces of their loved ones. “Another possible reason,” he says, “is the common experienc e of the couples.” There is a tendency for people who have the same life experience to change their faces in similar ways. For example, if a couple have suffered from a lot of sad experiences, their faces are likely to change in a similar way.21. Dr. Aiken cut the background from the photos for the purpose of __________ .A. imitating the couples’ lifeB. grouping the couples againC. leaving no trace for the testeesD. giving the testees more chances22. The underlined sentence “Their judgements were no better than chance” impl ies that the testees __________.A. did a good job in making their choices.B. had difficulty in picking out the partnersC. had no chance to make the right judgementsD. did better with the first group than with the second23. The underlined word “imitate” (in Para. 2) has a similar meaning to _______ ___.A. copyB. changeC. knowD. suffer24. From the passage we can draw the conclusion that ___________.A. couples who look alike can live longerB. most partners have been proved to grow alikeC. the influence between partners can be quite strongD. happily-married couples are often richer than others25. The main purpose of the passage is to ___________.A. explain why couples grow alikeB. tell how couples like each otherC. discuss the function of marriageD. describe the life of happily married couplesPassage ThreeThe three biggest lies in America are: (1) “The check is in the mail”, (2) “Of cour se I’ll respect you in the morning”, and (3) “It was a computer error.”Of these three little white lies, the worst is the third. It’s the only one that can nev er be true. Today, if a bank statement cheats you out of $ 900 that way, you know wha t the clerk is sure to say,” It was a computer error.” Nonsense. The computer is reporti ng nothing more than what the clerk typed into it.The most annoying case of all is when the computerized cashier in the grocery st ore shows that an item costs more than it actually does. If the innocent buyer points o ut the mistake, the checker, bagger, and manager all come together and offer the famil iar explanation: “It was a compute error.”It wasn’t, of course that computerized cashier is really nothing more than an elect ric event. The eye reads the Universal Product Code—chat bar of black and white line s in a corner of the package—and then checks the code against a price list stored in m emory. If the price list is right, you’ll be charged accurately.Grocery stores update the price list each day—that is, somebody sits at a keyboar d and types in the prices. If the price they type in is too high, there are only two expla nations: carelessness or dishonesty. But somehow “a computer error” is supposed to e xcuse everything.One reason we let people hide behind a computer is the common misperception t hat huge, modern computers are electric brain with “artificial intelligence.” At some p oint there might be a machine with intelligence but none exists today. The smartest co mputer on Earth right now is no more intelligent than your average pen. At this point i n the development of computers, the only thing any machine can do is what a human has instructed it to do.26. Of the three lies, the one about computer is the worst because the computer it self __________.A. says nonsenseB. cheats customersC. cannot make the errorD. does not admit its error27. According to the author, a computerized cashier is really just ___________.A. a machine to count moneyB. a machine to receive moneyC. an instrument to print codesD. an instrument to read codes28. Grocery store price lists are updated by ____________.A. a computerB. a keyboardC. an employeeD. an electr ic brain29. The last paragraph of the passage implies that computers ____________.A. are very cleverB. never make mistakesC. have a good memoryD. are controlled by men30. Which of the following describes the main idea of the passage?A. Computers are stupid and inefficient.B. Computer errors are due to its dishonesty.C. Computers help stores update the price list.D. Computer errors are actually human errors.Passage FourI came across an old country guidebook the other day. It listed all the tradesmen in eac h village, and it was impressive to see the past variety of services which were availabl e on one’s own doorstep in the late Victorian countryside.Nowadays a traveler in rural England might conclude that the only village tradesmen still flourishing were either selling frozen food to the villagers or selling antiques to vi sitors. Nevertheless, this would really be a false impression. On the surface, there has been a decline of village commerce, but its power is still remarkable.Our local grocer’s shop, for example, is actually expanding in spite of the competition from supermarkets in the nearest town. Women sensibly prefer to go there and excha nge the local news while doing their shopping, instead of queuing up at a supermarket . And the grocer knows well that personal service has a considerable cash value. His prices may be a bit higher than those in the town, but he will deliver anything at any ti me.His assistants think nothing of bicycling down the village street in their lunch hour to take a piece of cheese to an old retired woman who sent her order by word of mouth with a friend who happened to be passing. The richer customers telephone their shopp ing lists and the goods are on their doorsteps within an hour. They have only to hint at a fancy for some commodity outside the usual stock and the grocer, a red faced-figur e, instantly obtains it for them.31. Nowadays the commercial services in the village are ____________.A. still very activeB. quickly decliningC. unable to flourishD. pe rsonal to visitors32. The local grocer’s shop is expanding because _____________.A. the competition there is weakB. it is a place for women to chatC. it provides good personal serviceD. the goods there are more valuable33. Which of the following is true about the supermarkets?A. Prices there are much higherB. Customers often have to queue up.C. Customers can order by telephone.D. Their personal services are satisfactory.34. How do the village grocer’s assistants feel about giving extra service?A. They don’t think it a trouble.B. They don’t think it worthwhile.C. They don’t consider it a good deal.D. They don’t consider it a pleasant experience.35. One special feature of the village shop is that ___________.A. there is a very wide range of goods availableB. customers can order goods by word of mouthC. customer have to order goods one hour earlierD. there is a list of goods to be delivered to doorstepsPart III V ocabulary and Structure (20 points)Directions: There are 40 incomplete sentences in this part.

So, it would seem that they can say, yes, it is not. But no, in fact, it is the end.A gloomy study has just been released that says that the international trend towards living aloneis putting an unprecedented strain on our ecosystem.For a number of reasons---- relationship breakdown, career choice, longer life spans, smaller families---- the number of individual households is growing. And this is putting intolerable pressure on natural resources, and accelerating the extinction of endangered plant and animal species. And there is worse news. Running a refrigerator, television, cooker, plumbing system justfor selfish little you is a disastrous waste of resources on our over-populated planet. “The efficiency is a lot higher in households of two people or more, simply because theyof resource consumption”share everything. Well imagine that . Just when you thought living alone was OK, you would findthat all the time you were the enemy of mankind. Every time you put the kettle on the stove for acup of coffee you were destroying Mother Earth. Indeed, it is not just your mother who is a bitworried by your continuing single status ---- you are letting down the entire human race by nothaving a boyfriend or girlfriend. The trouble is that society has a group instinct and people panicand hit out when they see other people quietly rebelling and straying away from the “family and coupledom.The suggestion is that singledom should be at best a temporary state. Unless you are assimilatedinto a larger unit, you can never be fully functional.Try “communal living.” There are all these illustrations of young attractive people having aFriends.“green time,” laughingly bumping into each other. It looks like an episode of the TV seriesAnd the message is clear: Togetherness is good, solitude is bad, and being single on your own isnot allowed.51. Well-meaning friends and family members often tell those who live alone that _____A they should end their singledom as soon as possible.B they should live together with other singletons.C singledom is an acceptable life-style.D singledom can shorten one’slife-span.52. Which of the following may NOT be the reason for the increasing number of households as mentioned in the passage?A Many people get divorced because of unhappy marriage.B Now people can afford to support a household individually.C Some people have to sacrifice family life for their careers.D Many people live much longerthan before.53. The author thinks living alone is disastrous mainly because singledom is _________A harmful to people’s life.B destructive to our ecosystem.C dangerous to plants and animals.D unworkable in our society54. It is implied in the passage that singletons are usually _______A self-reliantB self-consciousC self-sufficientD self-centered55.

The author suggests that singletons should ___________A find boy friends or girl friends.B live with their parents and other family members.C live together and share more with their friends.D watch more episodes of the TV seriesFriends.Passage TwoIn 1999 when MiShel and Carl Meissner decided to have children, they tackled the next bigissue; Should they try to have a girl? It was no small matter. MiShel’s brother had beco from a hereditary condition in his early 20s, and the Meissners had learned that the condition is adisorder passed f rom mothers to sons. If they had a boy, he would have a 50 percent chance ofhaving the condition. A girl would be unaffected. The British couple’s inquiries about sex selectionled them to Virginia, U.S., where a new sperm-separation technique, called MicroSort, was experimental at the time. When MiShel became pregnant she gave birth to a daughter. Now theywill try to have a second daughter using the same technique.The techniques separates sperm into two groups--- those that carry the X-chromosome (染色体) producing a female baby and those that carry the Y-chromosome producing a male baby.The technology was developed in 1990s, but the opening of laboratory in January 2003 inCalifornia marked the company’s first expansion. “We believe the number ofpeople who want this technology is greater than those who have access to it.” Said Keith L. Blauer, the companydirector.This is not only a seemingly effective way to select a child’s gender.It also brings a host of ethical and practical considerations ----especially for the majority of families who use the techniquefor nonmedical reasons.The clinic offers sex selection for two purposes: to help couples avoid passing on a sex-linked genetic disease and to allow those who already have a c hild to “balance” their family by having a baby of the opposite sex.Blaucer said the company has had an impressive success r ate: 91 percent of the women who become pregnant after sorting for a girl are successful, while 76 percent who sort for a boy and get pregnant are successful.The technique separates s perm based on the fact that the X chromosome is larger than the Y chromosome. A machine is used to distinguished the size differences and sort the sperm accordingly.57. Why did MiShel and Carl decide not to have a boy?A Because t hey might give birth to a blind baby.B Because Carl might pass his family’s disease to his son.C Because the boy might become blind when he grows up.D Because they wanted a daughter to balance their family.58. When MiShel gave birth to her first girl, the new sperm-separation technique ____A had already been well-developed.B had not been declared successful.C was available to those who wanted it.D had been widely accepted in the medical world.primary concern regarding the application of the new59. Which of the following is the author’stechnology?A The expansion of the new technology may not bring profits to the companies.B Most people who use the technology will not have a baby as they want.C The effect of the new technology still needs to be carefully examined.D Increasing use of the technology may disturb the sex balance in the population60. According to Mr. Blauer, by using the new technology, ______A 91% of the women successfully give birth to girls.B 76% of the women get pregnantwith boys.C it is more successful for those who want to have girls.D it is more successful for those who wantto have boys.61. The sperm-separation technique is based on the fact that the chromosomes responsible for babies’ sex_____A are of different shapesB are of different sizesC can be identifiedD can be reproduced62. We can infer from this passage that the new technology_________A may not guarantee people a daughter or a son as they desire.B is used by most families for nonmedical reasons.C has brought an insoluble ethical dilemmafor mankind.D will lead to a larger proportional of females in the population.Passage ThreeWithout question there are plenty of bargains to be had at sales time ----particularly at thetop-quality shops whose reputation depends on having only the best and newest goods in stock each season. They tend, for obvious reasons, to be the fashion or seasonal goods which in due course become the biggest bargains.It is true that some goods are specially brought in for the sales but these too can provide exceptional value. A manufacturer may have the end of a range left in his hands and be glad to sellthe lot off cheaply to shops; or he may have a surplus of a certain material which he is glad to makeup and get rid of cheaply; or he may be prepared to produce a special line at low cost merely tokeep his employees busy during slack period. He is likely t o have a good many “seconds” available and if their defects are trifling these may be particularly good bargains.Nevertheless, sales do offer a special opportunity for sharp practices and shoppers need to beuld be clearly marked as such and not sold as if theyextra critical. For example the “second” showere perfect. The term “substandard,” incidentally, usually indicates a more serious defect thanMore serious is the habit of marking the price down from an alleged previous price “seconds.” which is in fact fictitious. Mis-description of this and all other kinds is much practiced by the menwho run one-day sales of carpets in church halls and the like. As the sellers leave the district the dayafter the sale there is little possibility of redress. In advertising sales, shops may say “only 100 left-price” when only awhen in fact they have plenty more; conversely they may say “10,000 at halfwerefew are available at such a drastic reduction. If ever the warning “let the buyer beware” necessary it is during sales.63. Which kind of goods can be among the best bargains?A Cheapest goodsB Newest goodsC Seasonal goodsD Goods in stock64. The second paragraph deals with all of the following types of goods EXCEPT ____A surplus goodsB low-cost goodsC the end lot goodsD exceptionally valued goods65. In order to maintain his business during a bad time, a manufacturer may ____A have his goods produced at low cost.B sell his goods at a very low price.C have his employees sell his goods.D try to produce high quality goods.66. The passage suggests that “seconds”____________A are of better quality than “substandard goods”B attract buyers as particularly good bargains.C are defective but marked as perfect.D are goods with serious defects67. The word “redress” ( the underlined word in the last paragraph) probably means ____A dressing againB change of addressC compensation for something wrong.D selling the same product at different prices.68. During sales shoppers should ____A find the best bargains at every opportunity.B beware of being cheated.C buy things that are necessary.D pay more attention to the price.Passage FourHow many of today’s ailment, or even illnesses, are purely psychological? And how far can thesebe alleviated by the use of drugs? For example a psychiatrist concerned mainly with the emotionalproblems of old people might improve their state of mind somewhat b y the use of anti-depressantsbut he would not remove the root cause of their depression ----- the feeling of being useless, oftenunwanted and handicapped by failing physical powers.One of the most important controversies in medicine today is how far doctors, and particularlypsychologists, should depend on the use of drugs for “curing” their patients. It is not merel drugs may have been insufficiently tested and may reveal harmful side effects as happened in thecase of anti-sickness pills prescribed for expectant mothers but the uneasiness o f doctor who feelthat they are treating the symptoms of a disease without removing the disease itself. On the otherhand, some psychiatrists argue that in many cases such as chronic depressive illness it is impossibleto get at the root of the illness while the patient is in a depressed state. Even prolonged psychiatriccare may have no noticeable effect whereas some people can be lifted out of a depression by the useof drugs within a matter of weeks. These doctors feel not only that they have no right to withholdsuch treatment, but that the root cause of depression can be tackled better when the patient himselffeels better. This controversy is concerned, however, with the serious psychological illnesses. Itdoes not solve the problem of those whose headaches, i ndigestion, backache, etc. are due tophysical cause and as a matter “nerves”. Commonly a busy family doctor will ascribe them to someof routine prescribe a drug. Once again the symptoms are being cured rather than the disease itself.It may be true to say, as one doctor suggested recently, that over half of the cases that come to the attention are not purely physical ailments. If this is so, the situation is seriousordinary doctor’sindeed.69. The author thinks that drugs used for treating psychological ills ______A could be ineffective in some cases.B usually have harmful side effects.C can greatly alleviate the illnesses.D can remove the root causes.70. The controversy mentioned in the passage focuses on ___A whether psychologists should use drugs to cure their patients.B how psychologists should treat their patients.C the fact that all of the drugs have harmfulside effects.D the extent to which drugs should be used to fight psychological illness.71. The passage indicates that psychologists _____A find it impossible to remove a psychological diseaseB feel dissatisfied at treating theirpatients with drugs.C believe that the root cause of a disease can be ignored.D can do nothing if the patient is in adepressed state .72. When treating patients with psychological problems, some doctors feel that they ____A are at a loss for treatment.B have no right to use drugs.C have to cure their patients by any means.D should use drugs to treat the symptoms.73. A family doctor would normally consider a headache or backache as a result of ____A a more serious diseaseB some emotional problem.C a physical disorderD prolonged work74. Regarding the situation of psychological problems the author feels ____A concernedB hopelessC surprisedD disappointedPassage FiveThose who make the rules for financial institution probably should take a modified oath. Theirpledge would be: First, do no harm. Second, if the reforms put before me) are unclear, don’t approve them.Charles Morris may not have intended his new book Money, Greed, and Risk to cast such a dimlight on the regulators, but it does. In fact, it may serve as a wake-up call for true believers in ourcurrent regulatory structure, most of which was erected in the 1930s and most of which Morrisseems to favor, despite the stupid results it has caused.Morris, a former Chase Manhattan banking executive, outlines in great detail, again and again,how regulators, lawmakers, firms and many of the customers marched straight into mortgage, currency, thrift (互相储蓄) and other investment disasters. His discussion of Regulation Q, anattempt by Congress in the 1960s to rescue ailing savings and loans by regulating interest rates,reveals not only Congressional economic illiteracy, but also the deep harm such foolish thinking cando to the real economy.After some 260 pages listing the foolish things of Wall Street, regulators and lawmakers, Morrisdraws some pessimistic conclusions: “One constant in all the crises is that the regulatory responses come only after a crisis hits its peak.” For example, it “took the S&L crisis of the 1980s to b honest accounting to thrifts, and it wasn’t until the banking sector suffered huge losses in real e and foreign loans that regulators began to enforce strict capital standards.”So, what is the point of regulation? Morris, who is excellent at recounting tales of regulation gone。

In some parts of the world,50, the population is growing faster than the food supply.

Our household budgets are filled with both big and small expenses that we imagine can be cut out to save loads of cash or, at the very least, spent better elsewhere. One of the things you have surely considered is using public transportation rather than your own vehicle. It would be easy to assumethat public transportation is cheaper, because bus fare is far less expensive than gas, but those are not the only costs to consider. Take a step back to your high school economics class and try to remember the lesson about opportunity costs. These, as you might recall if you were awake for that class, are the things you give up when you choose one option over other options. Although they are not measured in dollars and cents, they still have to be considered whenever you make a financial decision.。

Now scientists are racing to ensure that the rest s urvive. Even if global warning were to right now, scientists predict that more than 9 0% of corals will die by 2050. If no major steps are taken to address the problem, the reefs may be headed for total extinction（灭绝）.(78) The planet’s health depends on the survival of coral reefs. They described as “the rainforests of the sea", because they provide shelter for a wide variety of sea life. In addition, the reefs serve as barriers that protect coastlines from the full force of powerful storms.Coral are used in medical research for cures to diseases. They are key to local economies as well, since the reefs attract tourists, the fishing industry, and other businesses, bringing in billions of dolllars.（79）Corals are particular sensitive to changes in temperature. A rise of just 1 to 2 deg rees can force the corals to drive out the algae（水藻）. Then the corals turn white in a process called “bleaching”. Corals can recover from short-term bleaching, but long-term bleaching can cause permanent damage. In 1998 , when sea surface temperatures were the highest in recorded history, coral reefs arou nd the world suffered the most severe bleaching. It is estimated that even under the best of conditions, many of these coral reefs will need decades to recover.Although reefs face other threats from pollution, industrial activities, and overfi shing, it is global climate change that most concerns scientists.

But nowhere in history have students banned（禁止）bottled water. Until nowThe bottled water ban, which Parted on just a few campuses, h as now spread nationwide to more than 20 universities. The colleges have cither pletel y banned the use of plastic bottles altogether, or some have taken a more limited ap proach with partial bans.Many people believe that producing and bottled water wastes money and harms the environment. They say that bottled water is unnecessary because public water supplies i n the U.S. arc among the best in the world. Water fountains and reusable bottles wit h easy access（获取）to filling stations are a better choice.An organization called Ban the Bottle raises awareness about the economic and env ironmental costs of using plastic bottles. The group claims that eight glasses of wate r a day costs each person 49 cents annually, while drinking from plastic containers c osts $I,400 per year. Plastic bottles contain antimony—a chemical that in low doses causes depression, but in large doses can even lead todeath.The controversy over bottled or tap is not limited to the students and college administrations. The makers of bottled water see the movement as a threat. (80) They argue that plastic bottles make UP a small portion of the nation’s total waste.

One Friday afternoon he was riding along the track towards the Henderson farm. He was looking for a prize bull which had escaped from the Borrogee paddock. He reached the hills and saw at once that he could not go further.There had been a fire in the forest which had gone out. But the air was still full of smoke and fallen trees had blocked the track. Jack was just going to turn back when he saw something moving in the smoke. He waited. It was a girl on a horse, and she was riding towards him. “There’s a badly burnt man on the farm,” the girl shouted. “He saved my life. Please help me to save him.”The girl was Cathy Henderson. She had been on horseback for two hours. She had to jump over fallen trees that were still burning. Her pony had fallen with her twice. She was thirsty and almost dead from want of sleep. But she rode back to the farm with Jack immediately.Joe Brook was unconscious when they reached him. They lifted him onto Jack’s horse. The ride back to Borrogee was terrible. Cathy was so tired that Jack had to tie her to her pony. The pony was tired too, but its courage was astonishing. It followed Jack right to Borrogee Hospital. Nobody saw them arrive because it was night.“I’ve never seen a horse like that pony,” Jack said. Cathy praised Jack Billabong, but she refused to say anything about the pony, “Joe will write about her in his story,” she said.But she did say one th ing: “If flame hadn’t returned to the farm that afternoon, Joe and I would have died.”16.

Dr. Aiken studied a number of couples who had been married for at least twenty-five years. Each couple provided four photographs—one photo of each partner at the time of their marriage and another photo of each partner twenty-five or more years later. All background was cut from the photos to remove any clues. The photos were then displayed in groups: a random grouping of the persons at the time of their marriage and another random grouping of the same persons who took photographs later. Some testees were asked to pick out the partners. They failed totally with the first group. Their judgements were no better than chance. But with the photos taken twenty-five or more years after the marriage, the testees were quite successful with the most happily-married couples.Dr. Aiken believes there are several reasons why couples grow alike. One reason has something to do with imitation. One person tends to copy or do the same as someone else without knowing it. He says human begins to imitate the expressions of the faces of their loved ones. “Another possible reason,” he says, “is the common experience of the couples.” There is a tendency for people who have the same life experience to change their faces in similar ways. For example, if a couple have suffered from a lot of sad experiences, their faces are likely to change in a similar way.21. Dr. Aiken cut the background from the photos for the purpose of __________.A. imitating the couples’ lifeB. grouping the couples againC. leaving no trace for the testeesD. giving the testees more chances22. The underlined sentence “Their judgements were no better than chance” implies that the testees __________.A. did a good job in making their choices.B. had difficulty in picking out the partnersC. had no chance to make the right judgementsD. did better with the first group than with the second23. The underlined word “imitate” (in Para. 2) has a simil ar meaning to __________.A. copyB. changeC. knowD. suffer24. From the passage we can draw the conclusion that ___________.A. couples who look alike can live longerB. most partners have been proved to grow alikeC. the influence between partners can be quite strongD. happily-married couples are often richer than others25. The main purpose of the passage is to ___________.A. explain why couples grow alikeB. tell how couples like each otherC. discuss the function of marriageD. describe the life of happily married couplesPassage ThreeThe three biggest lies in America are: (1) “The check is in the mail”, (2) “Of course I’ll respect you in the morning”, and (3) “It was a computer error.”Of these three little white lies, the worst is the third. It’s the only one that can never be true. Today, if a bank statement cheats you out of $ 900 that way, you know what the clerk is sure to say,” It was a computer error.” Nonsense. The computer is reporting nothing more than what the clerk typed into it.The most annoying case of all is when the computerized cashier in the grocery store shows that an item costs more than it actually does. If the innocent buyer points out the mistake, the checker, bagger, and manager all come together and offer the familiar expl anation: “It was a compute error.”It wasn’t, of course that computerized cashier is really nothing more than an electric event. The eye reads the Universal Product Code—chat bar of black and white lines in a corner of the package—and then checks the code against a price list stored in memory. If the price list is right, you’ll be charged accurately.Grocery stores update the price list each day—that is, somebody sits at a keyboard and types in the prices. If the price they type in is too high, there are only two explanations: carelessness or dishonesty. But somehow “a computer error” is supposed to excuse everything.One reason we let people hide behind a computer is the common misperception that huge, modern computers are electric brain with “artificial in telligence.” At some point there might be a machine with intelligence but none exists today. The smartest computer on Earth right now is no more intelligent than your average pen. At this point in the development of computers, the only thing any machine can do is what a human has instructedit to do.26. Of the three lies, the one about computer is the worst because the computer itself __________.A. says nonsenseB. cheats customersC. cannot make the errorD. does not admit its error27. According to the author, a computerized cashier is really just ___________.A. a machine to count moneyB. a machine to receive moneyC. an instrument to print codesD. an instrument to read codes28. Grocery store price lists are updated by ____________.A. a computerB. a keyboardC. an employeeD. an electric brain29. The last paragraph of the passage implies that computers ____________.A. are very cleverB. never make mistakesC. have a good memoryD. are controlled by men30. Which of the following describes the main idea of the passage?A. Computers are stupid and inefficient.B. Computer errors are due to its dishonesty.C. Computers help stores update the price list.D. Computer errors are actually human errors.Passage FourI came across an old country guidebook the other day. It listed all the tradesmen in each village, and it was impressive to see the past variety of services which were available on one’s own doorstep in the late Victorian countryside.Nowadays a traveler in rural England might conclude that the only village tradesmen still flourishing were either selling frozen food to the villagers or selling antiques to visitors. Nevertheless, this would really be a false impression. On the surface, there has been a decline of village commerce, but its power is still remarkable.Our local grocer’s shop, for example, is actually expanding in spite of the competition from supermarkets in the nearest town. Women sensibly prefer to go there and exchange the local news while doing their shopping, instead of queuing up at a supermarket. And the grocer knows well that personal service has a considerable cash value.His prices may be a bit higher than those in the town, but he will deliver anything at any time. His assistants think nothing of bicycling down the village street in their lunch hour to take a piece of cheese to an old retired woman who sent her order by word of mouth with a friend who happened to be passing. The richer customers telephone their shopping lists and the goods are on their doorsteps within an hour. They have only to hint at a fancy for some commodity outside the usual stock and the grocer, a red faced-figure, instantly obtains it for them.31. Nowadays the commercial services in the village are ____________.A. still very activeB. quickly decliningC. unable to flourishD. personal to visitors32. The local grocer’s shop is expanding because _____________.A. the competition there is weakB. it is a place for women to chatC. it provides good personal serviceD. the goods there are more valuable33. Which of the following is true about the supermarkets?A. Prices there are much higherB. Customers often have to queue up.C. Customers can order by telephone.D. Their personal services are satisfactory.34. How do the village grocer’s assistants f eel about giving extra service?A. They don’t think it a trouble.B. They don’t think it worthwhile.C. They don’t consider it a good deal.D. They don’t consider it a pleasant experience.35. One special feature of the village shop is that ___________.A. there is a very wide range of goods availableB. customers can order goods by word of mouthC. customer have to order goods one hour earlierD. there is a list of goods to be delivered to doorstepsPart III Vocabulary and Structure (20 points)Directions: There are 40 incomplete sentences in this part.

ages running along city streets,in parks,and along special jogger's trails that have been built in some cities.Many theories,even some mystical ones,have been advanced to explain the popularity of jogging.The plain truth is that jogging is a cheap,quick and efficient way to maintain physical fitness.2............If these systems are fit,the body is ready for almost any sport and for almost any sudden demand made by work or emergencies,One can train more specially,as by developing strength for weight lifting or the ability to run straight ahead for short distances with great power as in football,but jogging trains your heart and lungs to deliver oxygen more efficiently to all parts of your body.It is worth noting that this sort of exercise is the only kind that can reduce heart disease,the number one cause of death in America.3............Physicians advise beginning joggers not to run in a tennis or gym shoe.Many design advances have been made in only the last several years that make an excellent running shoe necessary if a runner wishes to develop as quickly as possible,with as little chance of injury as possible.A wise investment in good shoes will prevent blisters and the foot,ankle and knee injuries and will also enable the wearer to run on paved or soft surfaces.No other special equipment is needed,4.............Many joggers wear expensive warm-up suits, but just as many wear last year's clothes.5............The American jogging Association has a twelve-week program designed to move from a fifteen-minute walk(which almost anyone can manage who is in reasonable health)to a thirty-minute run.A measure of common sense,a physical examination,and a planned schedule are all it takes.A.You can jog in any clothing you desire,even your street clothes.（4）B.The most useful sort of exercise is one that develops the heart,lungs and circulatory systems.（2）C.Jogging,running slowly for long distance,has become the most popular individual sport in America.（1）D.It takes surprisingly little time to develop the ability to run.（5）E.Only one sort of equipment is needed--a good pair of shoes.（3）F.We all like jogging.PartⅡVocabulary(15points)Directions:In this section

Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Some people say they have no memory at all:“I just can’remember a thing!”But of course we all have a memory.Our1tells us who we are.Our memory helps us to make use in the present of what we have2in the past.In fact we have different types of memory.For example,our visual memory helps us3 facts and places.Some people have such a strong visual memory.They can remember4what they have seen,for example,pages of a book,as a complete picture.Our5memory helps us remember words and figures we may have heard but not seen or written:6of a shopping list,a chemical formula,dates,or a recipe.With our emotional memory,we recall situations or places where we had strong feelings,perhaps of happiness or unhappiness.We also have special memories for smell,taste, touch and sound,and for performing physical movements.We have two ways of storing any of these memories.Our short-term memory7items for up to thirty seconds-enough to remember a telephone number while we8.Our long-term memory,on the other hand,may store items for a lifetime.Older people in fact have a much better long-term memory than short-term,They may forget what they have done only a few hours ago, but have the clearest remembrance of when they were very9.Psychologists tell us that we only remember a few facts about our past,and that we invent the rest.It is as though we remember only the outline of a story.We then make up the details.We often do this in the way we want to remember them,usually so that we appear as the heroes of ourneeding10.PartⅢCloze(10points)Directions:There are10blanks in the following passage.For each blank there are four choices marked A,B,C and D.You should choose the one that best fits into the passage.Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.The joy of laughing story is universal,probably as old as language1.But,what is it that makes a story or a joke funny?As one who had enjoyed humor since I first recognized it,I've made2to explain and discuss humor with students in such diverse cultures as Latin America and China.I've done some serious thinking about funny stories.It has been a labor of love!Why is it3several students in a class will fall out of their chairs laughing after I tell a joke4the rest of the students look as if I’ve just read the weather report?Obviously some people are more5to humor than others.And,we recognized that some people tell jokes verywell while others struggle to say6.We've all heard people say,“I like jokes,but J can't tell one well,and I can never remember them.”Some people have a better7of humor than others just as some people have more musical talent,mathematical talent etc.than others.A truly funny person has a joke for every occasion.A8person is not likely to be the most popular person in a group,It is reasonable to say that the truly humorous individual is not only well liked,9is often the focus of attention in any gathering.Humor is alive and well,and it will persist simply because there are funny things10 every day.Some humorous people see and hear these funny things and are able to make them into funny entertaining jokes and stories.1-5:ADCBA6-10:DBDAC1.

If you’re interested in starting a book club, you should consider the following options and recommendations.Before recruiting, think carefully about how many people you want to participate and also what the club’sfocus will be. For example, some book clubs focus exclusively on fiction; others read nonfiction. Some are even more specific, focusing only on a particular type such as mysteries, science fiction, or romance. Others have a more flexible and open focus. All of these possibilities can make for a great club, butit is important to decide on a focus at the beginning so the guidelines will be clear to the group and potential member.After setting the basic principles, recruitment can begin. Notify friends and family, advertise in the local newspaperand on bulletin boards in local stores, colleges, libraries, and bookstores. When enough people express interest, schedule a kick-off meeting during which decisions will be made about specific guidelines that will ensure the club runs smoothly. This meeting will need to establish where the group will meet (rotating homes or a public place such as a library or coffee shop); how often the group will meet, and on what day of the week and at what time; how long the meetings will be; how books will be chosen and by whom; who will lead the group (if anyone); and whether snacks will be served and if so, who will supply them. By the end of this meeting, these guidelines should be set and a book selection and date for the first official meeting should be finalized.Planning and running a book club is not without challenges, but when a book club is run effectively, the experience can be extremely rewarding for everyone involved.11．When starting a book club, one should first.A．notify his friends and familyB．put an ad in a local newspaperC．decide on the focus and size of the clubD．consider when and where the group will meet12．According to Paragraph 2, the “focus”of a book club refers to.A．funds B．locationsC．book types D．members13．Which of the following would NOT be covered at the kick-off meeting?A．Deciding on whether snacks will be served.B．Discussing whether to appoint a leader.C．Determiningthe club’s first selection.D．Planning the club’s yearly budget.14．Which of the following can be learned from the passage?A．Starting a book club requires good planning.B．A book club is a place to make new friends.C．Starting one’s own book club is better than joining an existing one.D．Smaller groups are better for a variety of reasons.15．The best title for this passage could be“________”.A．Book Clubs: A Great Way to Meet Old FriendsB．Book Club Planning: A Great ChallengeC．Five Steps to Recruit Members for a Book ClubD．Starting a Successful Book Club: A GuidePassage TwoThe Mayan (玛雅) Indians lived in Mexico for thousands of years before the Spanish arrived in the 1500s. The Maya were an intelligent, culturally rich people whose achievements were many. They had farms, beautiful palaces, and cities with many buildings. The Mayan people knew a lot about nature and the world around them. This knowledge helped them to live a better life than most people of that time, because they could use it to make their lives more comfortable and rewarding. Knowledge about tools and farming, for instance, made their work easier and more productive.The Maya believed in many gods, including rain gods, sun gods, and corn gods. The people built large temples to honor them. Skillful workers built cities around these temples. It was difficult for them to construct these cities, because they had no horses to carry the heavy stones they used to build with. Workers had to carry all of the building materials themselves. Today, many of these ancient Mayan cities and temples are still standing.Usually, only the priests lived in the cities. The other people lived in small villages in the forests. Their houses were much simpler than the elaborate structures in the cities. They lived in small huts with no windows. Most Maya lived a simple life close to nature.Measuring time was important to the Maya, so the Mayan priests made a system to keep track of time, and they made a calendar in which the year was divided into 18 months of 20 days each with five days left over. The Mayan calendar was far more accurate than the European calendars of the time.16. The Maya lived in Mexico ________.A. shortly before the Spanish arrivedB. long before the Spanish arrivedC. at the same time as the SpanishD. with the Spanish for thousands of years17. Many Mayan cities and temples ________.A. were constructed by the priestsB. were rebuilt several timesC. were built with heavy stonesD. were the miracles of god18.

For many months he had admired a beautiful sports car in a dealer’s showroom, and knowing his father could well afford it, he told him that was all he wanted.As Graduation Day approached, the young man waited for signs that his father had purchased the car. Finally, on the morning of his graduation, his father called him into his private study. His father told him how proud he was to have such a fine son, and told him how much he loved him. He handed his son a beautifully wrapped gift box. Curious, but somewhat disappointed, the young man opened the box and found a lovely, leather-bound Bible, with the young man’s name in gold. Angrily, he raised his voice to his father and said, “With all your money you give me a Bible?”He then stormed out of the house, leaving the Bible.Many years passed and the young man was very successful in business. He had a beautiful home and a wonderful family, but realizing his father was very old, he thought perhaps he should go to see him. He had not seen him since that graduation day. Before he could make the arrangements, he received a telegram telling him his father had passed away, and willed all of his possessions to his son. He needed to come home immediately and take care of things.When he arrived at his father’s house, sudden sadness and regret filled his heart. He began to search through his father’s important papers and saw the still new Bible, just as he had left it years ago. With tears, he opened the Bible and began to turn thepages. As he was reading, a car key dropped from the back of the Bible. On the tag was the date of his graduation, and the words “PAID IN FULL”.21．The best title for this passage could be “________”.A．A Tragedy of Father and SonB．A Loving FatherC．The Holy BibleD．A Missed Gift22．On the Graduation Day, what did the father give his son as a gift?A．A Bible and a sports car.B．A beautiful house.C．A lot of money.D．Some gold.23．Before his father’s death, the young man ________.A．learned a lot from his fatherB．got what he had longed forC．failed to understand his fatherD．kept contact with his father24．Which of the following statements is true?A．The young man made fortunes by himself after graduation.B．The young man was proud of his father.C．The father thought his son didn’t deserve the sports car.D．The father couldn’t afford the graduation gift.25．It can be inferred from the passage that people________.A．shouldvisit their parents more oftenB．should cherish what they already haveC．shouldn’t desire more than they deserveD．should be grateful for whatever they are givenPassage FourIt is becoming more and more difficult to be sure that the food we eat is not actually harming us. We seem to get one food scare after another.Several of these, recently, have concerned genetically modified (GM，转基因) foods. Although some experts tell us that these foods will do us no harm and that the concern about them is just speculative, other experts say that GM food is potentially very damaging to health.At the very best, the jury is still out on the matter.In many countries, products which have been genetically modified are supposed to show this information on their labels, but now some of the large food producers are saying that it is growing increasingly difficult to separate GM food from the conventional varieties.Pesticides (杀虫剂) and chemical fertilizers are also a cause of concern. In the last few years, a great many people have started to buy organic produce, although this is much more expensive than that which is grown using conventional methods. They do so in an effort to stop filling their bodies, and those of their children, with poisonous chemicals.Thus there is an increased demand for organic food and this is not a temporary fashion. But some experts claim that organically grown food is no healthier than other food, because the poison level of the latter is not so high as to be harmful. Those who push for organic food may not be objective, but are part of the powerful food lobby, the chief concern of which is to increase organic food production with a corresponding increase in profits.The use of additives (添加剂) is still another source of anxiety to consumers. These are often added to food to supposedly improve the colour or the flavour. However, it is thought that some of these may be the cause of allergies (过敏), or even the cause of behavioural problems in children.We have to eat to live. The problem is: what is safe to eat?26．What is people’s main concern about GM foods?A．Some of them are not labeled with required information.B．They might posehazards we don’t know yet.C．They don’t have the same flavour as conventional foods.D．The sowing of them will damage the environment.27．What does the author mean by “the jury is still out on the matter”(Para. 2)?A．The matter is still uncertain.B．The matter needs a jury to judge.C．The jury to judge is not available.D．The matter is not important.28．In Paragraph 5, the author tries to tell readers that .A．experts agree that organic food is no healthier than other foodB．profit-makingmay be behind the drive to produce more organic foodC．the demand for organic food will not last longD．organic food may also contain poisonous chemicals29．It can be inferred from the last but one paragraph that food additives .A．may be harmful to children in particularB．are unnecessary in food productionC．are less poisonous than pesticidesD．do not improve the flavour30．Which of the following best describes the author’s view about the food we eat?A．Unclear.B．Indifferent.C．Optimistic.D．Concerned.Part III Vocabulary and Structure (10 minutes, 10 points)Directions:There are 20 incomplete sentences in this section.

20175月北京地区承认本科学士学位英语统一考试真题和答案解析
北京地区成人本科学士学位英语统一考试2016.05Reading Comprehension Directions:There are three passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some ques-tions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D.The California lawmakers voted Thursday to raise the legal age to buy tobacco products from 18 to 21. The measure is part of a larger package of laws aimed at reducing tobacco use. If Gover-nor Jerry Brown signs the bill, California will become the second state, after Hawaii, to raise the age limit for buying cigarettes and other tobacco products. More than 100 cities in the U. S., inclu-ding New York and Boston, have already raised the age limit.A week ago, the Caiifomia Assembly approved the measure, which--in addition to raising the age limit--treats electronic cigarettes the same as tobacco products, expands smoke-free areas, in-creases smoking bans and allows counties to collect higher taxes on cigarettes than the 87-cent per pack state tax. The Assembly' s vote came a few days after the city of San Francisco increased the age to buy tobacco products to 21.California lawmakers passed the bill despite lobbying (游说)from tobacco interests. The meas-ure also faced opposition from many Republicans, who said the state should not be involved in po-licing people' s personal choices. "I don' t smoke. I don' t encourage my children to," said Re-publican Assemblyman Donald Wagner. "But they' re adults, and it' s our job to treat our citizens as adults. "But supporters of the bill say raising the age to 21 moves legally purchased tobacco that much farther from younger kids. " This will save the medical system millions of dollars," said Democratic Assemblyman Jim Wood. ( 76 ) "It will save thousands of lives. " A 2015 study by the Institute of Medicine "found that if the minimum legal age to buy tobacco were raised to 21 nation-wide, tobacco use would drop by 12 percent by the time today' s teens reached adulthood. In addi-tion, there would be 223,000 fewer premature ( 过早的) deaths and 50,000 fewer deaths from lung cancer.

When she was grow-ing up, women could not go to medical school. (77) So how did she become a doctor? She simply pretended that she was a man.No one knows Dr. Barry' s real name, her birth date, of her family' s background. Some re-cords show that she was born in 1795 in London. Some people say she was the daughter of a rich man or a royal prince. One fact we know is that in 1810, James Barry became a medical student at the University of Edinburgh.James Barry' s classmates made fun of her because she didn' t have a beard and she was only five feet tall. But no one thought she was a girl. At the age of 20, James Barry graduated from the University of Edinburgh as a Doctor of Medicine. She was one of the youngest students to complete her studies. Dr. Barry then went to work in a London hospital and studied surgery. A year later,she entered the army and became a hospital assistant. We will never know how she avoided the ar-my physical examination.For the next 45 years, Dr. James Barry was a British officer and a successful surgeon. Every-one admired her. She began to do a lot of important work for the army. ( 78 ) At that time, Eng-land had many colonies around the world. Dr. Barry spent a lot of time in foreign countries. She travelled to India, Corfu, Malta, and Jamaica. In 1856 she went to South Africa, and she was sooL known as the best doctor and surgeon in the colony. She saved the life of the governor' s daughter, and later she became the governor' s personal doctor. People admired Dr. Barry, but she also had a reputation as a troublemaker. If people talked about her high voice or tiny figure, she became very angry. She was an excellent swordsman, and she started fights often.第6题 According to the passage, Dr. Barry was made fun of becauseshe__________.A.had a low voiceB.had a funny beardC.was tallD.was shol答案：D第7题 Which of the following about James Barry is a fact?A.She had a rich father.B.She became a medical student in 1810.C.She was born in Edinburgh.D.She was a royal princess.答案：B第8题 Which of the following about James Barry is NOT TRUE?A.She was a troublemaker.B.She worked in many foreign countries.C.She made great contributions to the British Army.D.She was the best doctor in London.答案：D第9题 Dr. Barry was not happy when people talked about her__________.A.familyB.jobC.universityD.voice答案：D第10题 The word swordsman in Paragraph 4 probably means__________.A.someone who is skilled at fighting with a swordB.someone who is skilled at fighting with a gunC.someone who often fights with other peopleD.someone who often makes trouble for other people答案：AChokwe Selassie is on a mission to help drivers avoid potholes( 路面坑洼). The eighth-grader was inspired to kick off his mission on a recent morning, when his mother was driving him to school. Their car was damaged as it went over a huge pothole in the middle of the street in their hometown of Jackson, Mississippi. "I decided I was going to do something about the pothole prob-lem in my city," Chokwe says. His solution: an app(手机应用) that warns drivers when there is a pothole ahead.Chokwe developed the app with his friends Rodriguez Ratliff and Emmanuel Brooks. "When the app detects a potheole, it is highlighted(突出显示) in red," Chokwe says. "And if you get close to the pothole, your phone will warn you. " Drivers can also use the app to report any pot-holes" they encounter, and to look for other routes they can take to avoid roads that have them.The app relies on Current available information about the streets of Jackson. "It works by u-sing the city' s 311 call system, so it uses information already stored in a database," Chokwe says.(79) Through the call system, citizens dial 3-1-1 to report non-emergency problems--whiCh in-clude potholes. Chokwe and his friends determined that focusing on the 10 busiest streets in Jack-son would give them a large enough sample size to test the prototype(原型).(80) Although the app isn' t yet available for sale, Chokwe is already looking for ways to im-prove it. The prototype remains limited'to 10 streets in Jackson, but he hopes to add more, so that it includes every street in the city. And then he wants to go even farther. "I want to keep working on the app until it' s nationwide," Chokwe says.第11题 Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A.A Solution to Traffic JamsB.An App to Detect PotholesC.Pothole Problems in Big CitiesD.Poor Road Conditions答案：B第12题 The phrase kick off in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to__________.A.leaveB.inventC.beginD.shift答案：C第13题 People use the 311 call system to report__________.A.emergenciesB.terrorist attacksC.non-emergenciesD.child abuse答案：C第14题 The prototype focuses on __________ streets in Jackson.A.10B.15C.20D.25答案：A第15题 According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?A.Chokwe developed the app all by himself.B.People can buy this app from the online store.C.His mother' s car was once damaged over a pothole.D.The app works by using the city's 911 call system.答案：CVocabulary and Structure Directions: In this part there are 30 incomplete sentences.

Some experts fear the world will not be able to produce enough food for a51that never stops increasing.To grow more crops on the same52 of land, farmers use fertilizers and pesticides(杀虫剂). Some plant new kinds of grains that produce more food. These things help—53they don’t provide perfect solutions. The chemicals in fertilizers and pesticides can pollute water supplies. The new seeds developed by scientists have reached the54of what they can produce.When hungry people can get no more out of 55field, they clear trees from hills and forests for new farmland, and in doing so they expose the soil.

It would be easy to assume that public transportation is cheaper, because bus fare is far less expensive than gas, but those are not the only costs to consider. Take a step back to your high school economics class and try to remember the lessonabout opportunity costs. These, as you might recall if you were awake for that class, are the things you give up when you choose one option over other options.

(40 points)Text 1First two hours , now three hours—this is how far in advance authorities are recommending people show up to catch a domestic flight , at least at some major airports with increasingly massive security lines.Americans are willing to tolerate time-consuming security procedures in return for increased safety. The crash of Egypt Air Flight 804,which terrorists may have downed over the Mediterranean Sea ,provides another tragic reminder of why. But demanding too much of air travelers or providing too littlesecurity in returnundermines public support for the process. And it should: Wasted time is a drag on Americans’ economic and private lives, not to mention infuriating.Last year, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) found in a secret check that undercover investigators were able to sneak weapons---both fake and real—past airport security nearly every time they tried .Enhanced security measures since then, combined with a rise in airline travel due to the improving Chicago’s O’Hare International .It is not yet clear how much more effective airline security has become —but the lines are obvious.Part of the issue is that the government did not anticipate the steep increase in airline travel , so the TSA is now rushing to get new screeners on the line. Part of the issue is that airports have only so much room for screening lanes. Another factor may be that more people are trying to overpack their carry-on bags to avoidchecked-baggage fees, though the airlines strongly dispute this.There is one step the TSA could take that would not require remodeling airports or rushing to hire: Eoll more people in thePreCheck program. PreCheck is supposed to be a win-win for travelers and the TSA. Passengers who pass abackground check are eligible to use expedited screening lanes. This allows the TSA wants to eoll 25 million people in PreCheck.It has not gotten anywhere close to that, and one big reason is sticker shock. Passengers must pay $85 every five years to process their background checks. Since the beginning, this price tag has been PreCheck’s fatal flaw. Upcoming reforms might bring the price to a more reasonable level. But Congress should look into doing sodirectly, by helping to finance PreCheck eollment or to cut costs in other TSA cannot continue diverting resources into underused PreCheck lanes while most of the traveling public suffers in unnecessary lines. It is long past time to make the program work.21. The crash of Egypt Air Flight 804 is mentioned to_____.[A] explain American’s tolerance of current security checks[B] stress the urgency to strengthen security worldwide[C]highlight the necessity of upgrading major airport[D] emphasize the importance of privacy protection22. Which of the following contributes to long waits at major airports?[A]New restrictions on carry-on bags[B]The declining efficiency of the TSA[C]An increase in the number of travellers[D] Frequent unexpected secret checks23.

Starwatchers were among the most esteemedmembers of Hawaiian society. Sadly, all is not well with astronomy in Hawaii today. Protests have erupted over construction of the Thirty Meter Telescope(TMT), a giant observatory that promises to revolutionize humanity’s view of the issue is the TMT’s planned location on Mauna Kea, a dormant volcanoworshiped by some Hawaiians as the piko , that connects the Hawaiian Islands to the heavens.

He was a workaholic (工作狂) and made a lot of money. He bought everything he wanted. He even gave money to schools so Howard could get into them.

She protected him and gave him everything. Unfortunately, Allene had mental problems.

Each passage is followed by 5 questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET.Passage OneWhen the terrorist attack on September 11th caused people to flee the building, Avremel Zelmanowitz risked his own chance of escape by staying behind with his friend and colleague, Ed Beyea, who was Confined to a wheelchair due to a par'alysis (瘫痪). Both men lost their lives, but the stray of Avremel's love and devotion to his friend conveys a life-giving message to all.Avremel never married, and he shared a house with his brother and his family. He was a loving uncle to his brother's children; and he was devoted to caring for his aging parents. He was a "family man" in every sense of the word. At the same time, he had his own life, his varied interests, and a job and friends.When the tragedy occurred, Avremel was age 55, and his friend, Ed Beyea, was age 42.Ed became disabled after a diving accident at age 22, but he managed to work 14 years at Blue Cross since his injury Both he and Avremel were program analysts who worked on the 27th floor of World Trade Center.They both loved books and music, and they both served as the special uncle of their respective families. Like Avremel, Ed had no children of his own, but he was a father figure to his two nephews after their father died.On the morning of September 11, Ed wanted to wait until he could be securely carried down by several rescue workers, as it was dangerous for someone with his disability to be moved. Avremel wouldn't allow his friend to wait alone when everyone else was fleeing the building, and he stayed with him.In the days that followed, the media learned about Aw'emel's selfless act, and the story began to spread. President Bush, in his national prayer address to the American people, referred to Avremel's act as one of the many "outstanding acts of sacrifice" that weredemonstrated by Americans during this crisis.16、What happened to Avremel and Ed during the 9 . 11 terrorist attack?[A] Avremel rescued Ed at tile cost of his life.[B] Both Avremel and Ed gave up their chance of escape.[C] Avremel stayed with Ed and both lost their lives.[D] Both Avremel and Ed were finally rescued.17、What were the similarities between the two men?[A] Both of them loved hooks and music.[B] Both of them were in their 50s.[C] Both of them were disabled..[D] Both lived with their brother's families.18、Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?[A] Avremel took care of Ed's life after work.[B] Avremel liked diving when he was young.[C] Ed treated his nephews as his own children.[D] Ed became disabled after a driving accident.19、Why did Avremel choose to stay when others were fleeing the building?[A] Because he expected the rescuers to help him.[B] Because he tried to carry Ed downstairs.[C] Because he thought it was safer to stay inside.[D] Because he didn't want to leave Ed behind.20、The word "address'' in the last paragraph means ....[A] solution [B] speech [C] information [D] titlePassage TwoWhat you've always heard? We're eating way too much salt. The average American gets about 3.4 grams of sodium every day, far more than the upper limit of 2. 3 grams recommended by the USDA. The Institute of Medicine estimates that reducing sodium intake (摄取量) nationwide could prevent 100,000 deaths every year.The headlines now? It's time to get tough. The New York City health department recently kicked off a national effort to cut the amount of salt in packaged and restaurant food by 25% over five years. 80% of the salt in the average person's diet comes from those sources, not from the sahshaker (盐瓶).But wait! The benefits of salt reduction are surprisingly mruky. At least 13 studies have tried to find out what happens to people who choose to eat salty or not-so-salty food--and the results have pointed in eve~3~ direction. Sonre studies suggest that cutting salt protects the heart; others suggest that intense salt reduction can actually increase heart problems. What'sneeded,Dr. Michael Alderman says, is a randomized (随机的) , controlled trial, in which people are put on different diets and followed for years. It's the only way to get a reliable answer, but it's never been done.So what should you do? Go easy on processed foods and eat more produce. Those changes will improve your diet in a variety of ways and cut the amount of sodium you consume. If your blood pressure is high, work with your doctor to control it with drugs and lifestyle changes. If your blood pressure is healthy? At this point, there's no convincing reason for you to count every grain.21、It is stated in Paragraph 1 that our sodium intake[A] is within the healthy range[B] is a bit over the upper limit[C] is far beyond what is necessary[D] is well below the lower limit22、The main sources of salt in our diet are[A] home-made food and packaged food[B] restaurant food and saltshakers[C] home-made food and saltshakers[D] restaurant food and packaged food23、What does the word "murky' (Para. 3) probably mean?[A] Unclear [B] Significant[C] Obvious [D] Exaggerated24、What does Dr. Michael Alderman say about a randonfized, controlled trial?[A] It has been successfully conducted[B] It should be carded out.[C] It is already under way.[D] It is too late to try it.25、As stated in the last paragraph, people with normal blood pressure[A] should consider a change of their lifestyle[B] have every reason to be careful about sodium[C] will not be affected by the amount of sodium taken[D] do not have to take sodium too seriouslyPassage ThreeThere is a tale that straw is the worst material from which to build a house, particularly ifyou are a pig with a hungry wolf around. So the cards were stacked against Warren Brush when local officials learned that he had several buildings made of straw bales ( 大捆) on his land.They have tried to fine him a lot. But the case is still unresolved. The problem is that California's building codes make no provision for the use of straw. And Mr Brush has many defenders--among them several university scientists and David Eisenberg, the chairman of the United States Green Building Council's code connnittee. They would like to see the prejudice against straw houses eliminated, for straw is, in many ways, an ideal building material.It is, for one thing, a great insulator (绝缘体). That keeps down the heating bills in houses made from it. It is also a waste product that would otherwise be burned, and is therefore cheap, and very much to the point in a place like California, it is earthquake-resistant. Last year a test conducted at the University of Nevada showed that straw-bale constructions could' withstand twice the amount of ground motion recorded in the Northridge earthquake that hit LosAngeles in 1994.There are other straws in the wind: a post office in suburban Albuquerque, a school in Maryland, and an office complex in suburban Los Angeles have all been built from straw. Even California is having a rethink, and may change its rules to adapt to straw-bale construction. As Mr Eisenberg observes, "the lesson of the Three Little Pigs isn't to avoid straw. It's that you don't let a pig build your house."26、By "the cards were stacked against Warren Brush, the author means that Brash[A] received punishment [B] made a breakthrough[c] would be in trouble [D] might win a prize27、David Eisenberg is mentioned[A] as a representative of official opinions[B] for the purpose of supporting Warren Brush[C] to provide evidence against straw houses[D] to show the importance of the building codes28、What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?[A] The structure of straw houses.[B] The possibility of building straw houses.[C] The suggestions for building straw houses.[D] The advantages of straw houses.29、It can be learned from the last paragraph that California[Al will fine Warren Brush as planned[B] will reduce the fine on Warren Brush[C] may consider a heavier fine on Warren Brush[D] may not fine Warren Brash30、The author's purpose in writing the passage is to[A] show that straw can be used to build houses[B] highlight the prejudice against straw houses[C] explain how to build a house with straw[D] introduce a new building materialPassage FourI was talking with a senior Public Relations manager the other day about "The Game Trainers" and he expressed much doubt about both the possibility and value of getting senior professionals to play games.These are serious people with serious jobs, and they are not going to waste time running around like school children,' he told me. This statement highlighted many of his assumptions.He also provided me with a golden opportunity to talk about how these "serious people with serious jobs" could actually learn something about themselves, their staff, their company, and their business opportunities by allowing creativity to flow more freely through "games".His position is not uncommon and it comes from a deep seated misunderstanding of what a "game" is and what it is for, as well as a set notion of what "work" nmst look like for it to be considered of value. It's not a coincidence (巧合) that the most successful companies of the last decade, including Apple and Google, were all started by college students, and perhaps as a consequence have at their core a spirit of fun，creativity and innovation. Their success has not been achieved through a strict work environment, dull meetings and a 9 to 5 work time. Instead they have flowing and flexible work spaces, a culture of cooperation, opportunities for creativity and relaxed work structures.The Game Trainers support this innovative and highly productive approach to work by developing games to integrate into the working environment, And so, I said to the PR man, it's a good thing that they are "serious people with serious jobs", because we also are extremely serious about play, and in today's environment they simply cannot afford not to play games. 31、What does the PR manager think of the author’s proposal of playing games?[Al It is against the rule. [B] It makes no sense.[C] It is worth a try. [D] It would be beneficial.32、The author suggests that the PR manager’s position on games[A] represents a common misunderstanding[B] allows for greater work efficiency[C] is based on scientifically proven concepts[D] is hard to understand in today's world?33、The examples of Apple and Google show that[A] it helps to combine work with games[B] games should be separated from work[C] work and games can be clearly defined[D] no work can be done well without games34、"The Game Trainers" is probably a[A] computer game [B] search engine[C] game developer [D] research system35、In the passage the author[A] encourages people to work more creatively[B] describes how to balance work with life[C] analyzes why it is important to enjoy work[D] promotes an innovative approach to workPart III Vocabulary and Structure (20 points)Directions: There are 40 incomplete sentences in this part.

2017年5月学位英语真题Part I Reading (30%)Passage 1People say that money cannot buy happiness. This was true for Howard Hughes. (76) He was one of the richest and most powerful men of his time. He had everything: good looks, success, power, and a lot of money. But he didn’t have love or friendship because he couldn’t buy them. All his life he used his money to control everything and everyone around him. In the end, he lost control of everything, even himself.Howard Hughes was born in 1905 in Houston, Texas. His father started the Hughes Tool Company. He was a workaholic（工作狂）and made a lot of money. He bought everything he wanted. He even gave money to schools so Howard could get into them. From his father, Howard learned to be a successful but merciless busines sman. Hughes’ mother, Allene also had a big influence on his life. Howard was her only child. She protected him and gave him everything. Unfortunately, Allene had mental problems. (77) She was afraid of germs and diseases. She was obsessed with Howard’s he alth, and he became obsessed with it, too.Allene died when Howard was 16 years old. Two years later his father died. Hughes inherited the Hughes Tool Company. Then he married Ella Rice. He and Ella moved to Los Angeles, California. It was there that Howard Hughes began to become a legend （传奇人物）. Hughes began to invest his money in movies. He became an important producer soon after he moved to California. He worked hard, but he also played hard. He became obsessed with power and control. When he couldn’t g et something legally, he gave money to politicians and businessmen so they would help him. He owned a lot of businesses, including airplane companies, a movie studio（制片厂）, Las Vegas hotels, gold and silver mines, and radio and television stations.

Now scientists are racing to ensure that the rest survive. Even if global warming were to stop right now, scientists predict that more than 90% of corals will die by 2050. If no major steps are taken to address the problem, the reefs may be headed for total extinction（灭绝）.(78) The planet’s health depends on the survival of coral reefs. They are often described as “the rainforests of the sea”, because they provide shelter for a wide variety of sea life. In addition, the reefs serve as barriers that protect coastlines from the full force of powerful storms.Corals are used in medical research for cures to diseases. They are key to local economies as well, since the reefs attract tourists, the fishing industry, and other businesses, bringing in billions of dollars.(79) Corals are particularly sensitive to changes in temperature. A rise of just 1 to 2 degrees can force the corals to drive out the algae（水藻）. Then the corals turn white in a process called “bleaching”. Corals can recover from short-term bleaching, but long-term bleaching can cause permanent damage. In 1998, when sea surface temperatures were the highest in recorded history, coral reefs around the world suffered the most severe bleaching. It is estimated that even under the best of conditions, many of these coral reefs will need decades to recover.Although reefs face other threats from pollution, industrial activities, and overfishing, it is global climate change that most concerns scientists. Scientists remain hopeful that it’s not too late to save the reefs, and some are moving ahead on experiments to accomplish that goal.6. which of the following is the best title for the passage?A.

But nowhere in history have students banned（禁止）bottled water. Until now.The bottled water ban, which started on just a few campuses, has now spread nationwide to more than 20 universities. The colleges have either completely banned the use of plastic bottles altogether, or some have taken a more limited approach with partial bans.Many people believe that producing and using bottled water wastes money and harms the environment. They say that bottled water is unnecessary because public water supplies in the U.S. are among the best in the world. Water fountains and reusable bottles with easy access（获取）to filling stations are a better choice.An organization called Ban the Bottle raises awareness about the economic andenvironmental costs of using plastic bottles. The group claims that eight glasses of water a day costs each person 49 cents annually, while drinking from plastic containers costs $1,400 per year. Plastic bottles contain antimony----a chemical that in low doses causes depression, but in large doses can even lead to death.The controversy over bottled or tap is not limited to the students and college administrations. The makers of bottled water see the movement as a threat. (80) They argue that plastic bottles make up a small portion of the nations’ total was te. It’s unfair to single out（单独挑出）their product when so many other items are packaged in plastic containers. Plus, water is a healthy choice compared to some sodas and juices that are sold at school.11.
