But raising kids takes money and energy. Many older parents find themselves balancing their limited financial resources, declining energy and failing health against the growing demands of an active child. Dying and leaving young children is probably the older parents’ biggest, and often unspoken, fear. Having late-life children, says an economics professor, often means parents, particularly father s, “end up retiring much later.” For many, retirement becomes an unobtainable dream.Henry Metcalf, a 54-year-old journalist, knows it takes money to raise kids. But he’s also worried that his energy will give out first. Sure, he can still ride bikes with his athletic fifth grader, but he’s learned that young at heart doesn’t mean young. Lately he’s been taking afternoon naps (午睡) to keep up his energy. “My body is aging,” says Metcalf, “You can’t get away from that.”Often, older parents hear the ticking of another kind of biological clock. Therapists who work with middle-aged and older parents say fears about aging are nothing to laugh at. “They worry they’ll be mistaken for grandparents, or that they’ll need help getting up out of those little chairs in nursery school,” says Joann Galst, a New York psychologist. But at the core of those little fears there is often a much bigger one: “that they won’t be alive long enough to support and protect their child,” she says.Many late-life parents, though, say their children came at just the right time. After marrying late and undergoing years of fertility (受孕) treatment, Marilyn Nolen and her husband, Randy, had twins. “We both wanted children,” says Marilyn, who was 55 when she gave birth. The twins have given the couple what they desired for years, “a sense of family.”Kids of older dads are often smarter, happier and more sociable because their fathers are more involved in their lives. “The dads are older, more mature,” says Dr. Silber, “and more ready to focus o n parenting.”1. Why do psychiatrists regard maturity as an asset in child rearing? A) Older parents can better balance their resources against children’s demands. B) Older parents are usually more experienced in bringing up their children. C) Older parents are often better prepared financially.D) Older parents can take better care of their children.2. What does the author mean by saying “For many, retirement becomes an unobtainable dream” (Lines 7-8, Para. 1)?A) They have to go on working beyond their retirement age.B) They can’t get full pension unless they work some extra years.C) They can’t obtain the retirement benefits they have dreamed of.D) They are reluctant to retire when they reach their retirement age.3. The author gives the example of Henry Metcalf to show that _________.A) many people are young in spirit despite their advanced ageB) taking afternoon naps is a good way to maintain energyC) older parents tend to be concerned about their aging bodiesD) older parents should exercise more to keep up with their athletic children.4. What’s the biggest fear of older parents according to New York psychologist Joann Galst?A) Being laughed at by other people.B) Slowing down of their pace of life.C) Being mistaken for grandparents.D) Approaching of death.5. What do we learn about Marilyn and Randy Nolen?A) They thought they were an example of successful fertility treatment.B) Not until they had the twins did they feel they had formed a family.C) They believed that children born of older parents would be smarter.D) Not until they reached middle age did they think of having children.Passage twoLosing your ability to think and remember is pretty scary. We know the risk of dementia (痴呆症) increases with age. But if you have memory slips, you probably needn’t worry. There are pretty clear differences between signs of dementia and age-related memory loss.After age 50, it s quite common to have trouble remembering the names of people, places and things quickly, says Dr. Kirk Daffner of Brigham and Women s Hospital in Boston.The brain ages just like the rest of the body. Certain parts shrink, especially areas in the brain that are important to learning, memory and planning. Changes in brain cells can affect communication between different regions of the brain. And blood flow can be reduced as blood vessels narrow.Forgetting the name of an actor in a favorite movie, for example, is nothing to worry about. But if you forget the plot of the movie or don t remember even seeing it, that s far more concerning, Daffner says.When you forget entire experiences, he says, that s "a red flag that something more serious may be involved." Forgetting how to operate a familiar object like a microwave oven, or forgetting how to drive to the house of a friend you’ve visited many times before can also be signs of something going wrong.But even then, Daffner says, people shouldn’t panic. There are many things that can cause confusion and memory loss, including health problems like temporary stoppage of breathing during sleep, high blood第 4 页共11 页pressure, or depression, as well as medications (药物) like antidepressants.You don’t have to figure this out on your own. Daffner suggests going to your doctor to check on Array medications, health problems and other issues that could be affecting memory. And the best defense againstmemory loss is to try to prevent it by building up your brain s cognitive (认知的) reserve, Daffner says. "Read books, go to movies, take on new hobbies or activities that force one to think in novel ways," he says. In other words, keep your brain busy and working. And also get physically active, because exercise is a known brain booster.6. Why does the author say that one need’ t be concerned about memory slips?A) Not all of them are symptoms of dementia.B) They occur only among certain groups of people.C) Not all of them are related to one’s age.D) They are quite common among fifty-year-olds.7. What happens as we become aged according to the passage?A) Our interaction skills deteriorate.B) Some parts of our brain stop functioning.C) Communication within our brain weakens.D) Our whole brain starts shrinking.8. Which memory-related symptom should people take seriously?A) Totally forgetting how to do one s daily routines.B) Inability to recall details of one s life experiences.C) Failure to remember the names of movies or actors.D) Occasionally confusing the addresses of one s friends.9. What should people do when signs of serious memory loss show up?A) Check the brain s cognitive reserve.B) Stop medications affecting memory.C) Turn to a professional for assistance.D) Exercise to improve their well-being.10. What is Dr. Daffner’s advice for combating memory loss?A) Having regular physical and mental checkups.B) Taking medicine that helps boost one s brain.C) Engaging in known memory repair activities.D) Staying active both physically and mentally.Passage threeIn spring, chickens start laying again, bringing a welcome source of protein at winter’s end. So it’s nosurprise that cultures around the world celebrate spring by honoring the egg.第 5 页共11 页Some traditions are simple, like the red eggs that get baked into Greek Easter breads. Others elevate the egg into a fancy art, like the heavily jewel-covered “eggs” that were fav ored by the Russians starting in the 19th century.One ancient form of egg art comes to us from Ukraine. For centuries, Ukrainians have been drawing complicated patterns on eggs. Contemporary artists have followed this tradition to create eggs that speak to the anxieties of our age: Life is precious, and delicate. Eggs are, too.“There’s something about their delicate nature that appeals to me,” says New Yorker cartoonist Roz Chast. Several years ago, she became interested in eggs and learned the traditional Ukrainian technique to draw her very modem characters. “I’ve broken eggs at every stage of the process—from the very beginning to the very, very end.”But there’s an appeal in that vulnerability. “There’s part of this sickening horror of knowing you’re w alking on the edge with this, that I kind of like, knowing that it could all fall apart at any second.” Chast’s designs, such as a worried man alone in a tiny rowboat, reflect that delicateness.Traditional Ukrainian decorated eggs also spoke to those fears. The elaborate patterns were believed to offer protection against evil.“There’s an ancient legend that as long as these eggs are made, evil will not prevail in the world,” says Joan Brander, a Canadian egg-painter who has been painting eggs for over 60 years, having learned the art from her Ukrainian relatives.The tradition, dating back to 300 B.C., was later incorporated into the Christian church. The old symbols, however, still endure. A decorated egg with a bird on it, given to a young married couple, is a wish for children. A decorated egg thrown into the field would be a wish for a good harvest.11.Why do people in many cultures prize the egg?A) It is a welcome sign of the coming of spring.B) It is their major source of protein in winter.C) It can easily be made into a work of art.D) It can bring wealth and honor to them.12.What do we learn about the decorated “eggs” in Russia?A) They are shaped like jewel cases.B) They are cherished by the rich.C) They are heavily painted in red.D) They are favored as a form of art.13.Why have contemporary artists continued the egg art tradition?A) Eggs serve as an enduring symbol of new life.B) Eggs have an oval shape appealing to artists.C) Eggs reflect the anxieties of people today.D) Eggs provide a unique surface to paint on.第 6 页共11 页第 7 页共 11 页14.Why does Chast enjoy the process of decorating eggs?A) She never knows if the egg will break before the design is completed. B) She can add multiple details to the design to communicate her idea. C) She always derives great pleasure from designing something new. D) She is never sure what the final design will look like until the end. 15.What do we learn from the passage about egg-painting? A) It originated in the eastern part of Europe. B) It has a history of over two thousand years. C) It is the most time-honored form of fancy art. D) It is especially favored as a church decoration.A bookless life is an incomplete life. Books influence the depth and breadth of life. They meet the natural 1)_____for freedom, for expression, for creativity and beauty of life. Learners, therefore, must have books, and the right type of book, for the satisfaction of their need. Readers turn 2)____ to books because their curiosity concerning all manners of things, their eagerness to share in the experiences of others and their need to 3) _____ from their own limited environment lead them to find in books food for the mind and the spirit. Through their reading they find a deeper significance to life as books acquaint them with life in the world as it was and it is now. They are presented with a 4)_____ of human experiences and come to5) _____ other ways of thought and living. And while 6)____ their own relationships and responses to life , the readers often find that the 7) ____ in their stories are going through similar adjustments, which help to clarify and give significance to their own.Books provide 8)______ material for readers’ imagination to grow. Imagination is a valuable quality and a motivating power, and stimulates achievement. While enriching their imagination, books 9)______their outlook, develop a fact-finding attitude and train them to use leisure 10)_____. The social and educational significance of the readers’ books cannot be overestimated in an academic library.Part IV . Fill in the blanks by selecting suitable letters for words fromthe word bank. You may not use any of the words more than once.（1x10）第 8 页共 11 页1. Consider also the heroic example of Abraham Lincoln, who faced substantial hardships, failures andrepeated misfortunes in his lifetime. Yet his strong will was the spur that pushed him forward, strengthening his optimism, dedication and determination. It intensified and focused his efforts and enabled him to triumph over the overwhelming failures and profound difficulties in his life. A hundred years later, people from around the world commend Abraham Lincoln as the greatest American president of all time.2. Thanks to modern aviation, we can now move through space at an inhuman speed. For the first time in human history, we can outrun the sun and move from one hemisphere to another in a single day. Of course, it's not enough to simply get on a plane. Most people, after all, escape to Paris so they don't have to think about those troubles they left behind. But here's the irony: Our mind is most likely to solve our most stubborn problems while we are sitting in luxury in a Left Bank café.Part V .

You should decide on the best choice and m a r k t h e corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneQuestion 41 to 44 are based on the following passage.No man can change the weather. Nobody can control the weather. But if we read correctly the signs around us we can tell what the more important changes in the weather will be. This way of telling what the weather will be like on the following day or two is called weather forecasting.For many centuries and in all countries people have studied the weather and tried to make weather forecasting. Sometimes distant objects such as hills and tall trees seem to be very clear and near. This is a sign of much water vapor in the air, and therefore rain will probably come.Rings round the sun are a sign of coming rain. Many people feel in their bones the coming of wet weather. Their joints ache. Some birds fly high if fine weather is coming but they fly near the ground if rainy or stormy weather is on the way. It is probably because of the insects which they are hunting that they fly low. If you see a rainbow during rainy weather, this is a sign that the weather will become clear and fine. Such rainbows always come in the evenings. If the stars twinkle clearly at night, then fair weather will continue. If a fog appears in the morning, just about sunrise, then the day will be warm. Instead, if a fog appears in the evening the next day will be wet weather.If sunset is mostly red in color, then the following day will be fine. If a rainbow appears in the morning, rainy weather will probably come.Most of the above sayings have been made by people who have used their eyes and brains to make weather forecasting.41. For hundreds of ______ people have studied the weather.A. centuriesB. yearsC. monthsD. weeks42. When birds fly near the ground, wet weather or a ______ will come.A. stormB. rainbowC. dry weatherD. fog43.

When distant hills and tall trees seem to be very clear, ______.A. people will shoutB. birds will singC. there are rings round the sunD. rain will probably come Passage TwoQuestion 45 to 48 are based on the following passage.Most areas in Britain have corner shops for local people. Corner shops often keep longer hours than the big street shops. Their Slightly higher prices are usually made up for by their convenience. There are also discount shops. These shops sellfilms, paintings, etc. On the whole, supermarkets and street markets are cheaper places to buy food. Street markets are usually good for fresh fruit and vegetables, and, in many places they have many foreign goods which may make you think of your home!There are also “convenience” food stores in Britain. They may sell cooked food and they are useful for people in a hurry.45. What can be said about corner shopsA. They keep longer hours.B. They are high-street shops.C. They are only for locals.D. They are big street shops.46. Corner shops are _______.A. not convenientB. convenientC. cheapD. very expensive47. Which shop often makes you think of homeA. a corner shopB. supermarketC. street marketD. discount shop48. What do street market shops also doA. sell preparationB. sell cooked foodC. cook food for youD. sell food only for people in a hurry Passage ThreeQuestion 49 to 53 are based on the following passage.An allowance(零⽤钱) is an important tool for teaching kids how to budget, save and make their own decisions. Children remember and learn from mistakes when their own dollars are lost or spent foolishly.How large an allowance is appropriate Experts say there is not right amount. Actual amounts differ from region to region, and from family to family.To set an appropriate allowance for your child, work up a weekly budget. Allow for entertainment expenditures(花费) such as movies and snacks. Next, include everyday expenses such as lunch money, bus fare, school supplies. “If you make the child responsible for these bills,” says Josephine Swanson, a consumer specialist, “he or she will learn to budget for necessary expenditures.”Finally, add some extra money to make saving possible. If you can, keep your child’s allowance in line with that of his friends. A child whose purchasing power falls away below his peers’ can feel left out.It can be tough, but avoid excusing your children when they make a mistake with their allowance. When Brooke Stephens was ten and growing up in Jacksonville, her mother gave her $5 a week, $ of which was for bus fare and lunch. “If you lose your money,” Brooke’s mother told her, “you walk home.”One week the girl spent all her allowance in a candy store, and then she called home for ride. “Mother made me walk home,”recalls Stephens, now a financial planner in Brooklyn. “At first I was angry. But I finally realized that she was trying to teachme an important lesson.”Experts advise that an allowance should not be tied directly to a child’s daily chores(琐事). Kids should help around the house not because they get paidfor it but because they share responsibilities as members of a family. You might, however, pay a child for doing extra jobs at home, which can develop his or her initiative(主动性).49. What does the passage mainly discussA. How to develop a child’s initiativeB. How to work up an amount of allowance.C. How to teach a child to save money.D. How to teach a child about money.50. It can be inferred from the passage that if a child is given an allowance,he or she may__________.A. spend all the money very soonB. be spoiled and finally ruinedC. feel responsible and careful about moneyD. lose the money51. In paragraph 4, the words “his peers” refer to which of the followingA. his parentsB. his teachersC. his financial expertsD. his friends52. The author mentions Brooke Stephens to __________.A. question the opinion about allowanceB. compare Stephens with other financial expertsC. explain that parents should be strict when children are developing good habits about moneyD. suggest that pocket money is useless in developing a child’s sense of responsibility53. The author implies in the passage that __________.A. paying children for their housework is no goodB. a child’s initiative can be developed if he or she is paid for all the houseworkC. children may feel lost and lonely if they have no pocket moneyD. children may learn to put aside some money if they are given a lot of moneySection B Short Answer Questions (4 points, 1 point each)Directions: Read the following letter. After reading it, you are required to complete thestatements that follow the questions numbered 54 to 57. You should write your answers in nomore than 5 words on the Answer Sheet correspondently.Dear Mr. Doe,Thank you for coming in for an interview last Friday.

This stage was A) being remembered B) remembering C) to remember D) to be remembered insignificant and could just as well have not happened at all. 15. The joint venture had a remarkable sales growth this year, particularly in the__ part of the year I began to learn English in earnest when I went to high school. I was in the same class with Michael, A) later B) latter C) late D) first but in different groups. I was in a group for students who were to learn English from scratch, and he was1in a group for those who had already known some English. Very soon, my teacher noticed that my English was improving rapidly and he told me to join the group for the advanced learners. This was the worst thing that could have happened to me. My new teacher, who was Irish, didn’t speak Polish so I couldn’tunderstand her and I never knew what I was supposed to do. I was completely at a loss. My English didn’t improve at all. As a result, at the end of that year I was sent back to the group for beginners.My stay with the advanced group made me realize what kind of learning strategies I should use in the future. I discovered that I cannot pick up a new language directly from foreigners. I started to learn hard again.I translated into Polish all new words that appeared in my course-book. Before a test I would memorize dozens of words with their Polish equivalents. However, later I would never revise those words so I would soon forget most of them.I knew that I should improve my learning techniques and I decided to ask for help those who had the best results in our class, that is Michael. That wasn’t easy because in the second grade, they seemed to look down on girls. So after a few attempts to approach them I decided to give up. For two years I learned English using the method described above. My English was improving but I was still forgetting new words. Finally, in the fourth grade I got closer to Michael, who started to show me how to learn English more efficiently, which was a breakthrough in thewhole process of my learning English.Michael encouraged me to read books in English with monolingual dictionaries. Several months later, I began to write e-mail messages in English.I have been using these techniques for four years, and in my opinion, I have achieved pretty good results.1. Which of the author’s English le arning experiences was not worthy of notice?A) In elementary school.B) The first year in high school.C) The second and third years in high school. D) The fourth year in high school.2. Who taught the author English during the first year in high school?A) A private teacher.B) The English teacher teaching the group for beginners. C) The English teacher teaching the advanced group. D) Both B) andC).3. Of the following experiences, which one made the greatest suffering to the author?A) She shared a private English teacher with his two friends.B) She was moved to the advanced group in the first high school year. C) She was sent back to the group for beginners. D) She got Michael to help her in English.4. What did the author learn from her study in the advanced group?2A) She could not learn a new language quite well. B) Learning strategies are of importance. C) Native teachers are not suitable for her.D) She had to ask for help those who had the best results in her class.5. What is regarded as a milestone in the author’s process of English learning?A) Michael began to teach her an efficient way of learning English. B) She tried to read books in English.C) She tried to use monolingual dictionaries. D) She tried to write e-mail messages in English Passage TwoThe aim of the teacher is to get his pupils as quickly as possible over the period in which each printed symbol is looked at for its shape, and arrive at the stage when the pupil looks at words and phrases, for their meaning, almost without noticing theshapes of the separate letters.When a good reader is at work he does not look at letters, nor even at words, one by one however quickly; he takes in the meaning of two, three, or four words at a time, in a single moment. Watch carefully the eyes of a person who is reading, and it will be seen that they do not travel smoothly along the lines of print, but they move by jumps separated by very short stops. The eyes of a very good reader move quickly, taking long jumps and making very short halts (停顿); the eyes of a poor reader move more slowly, taking only short jumps and stopping longer at each halt. Sometimes, when he meets a difficulty, he even goes backwards to see again what has already been looked at once.The teacher’s task is therefore clear: it is to train his pupils to take in several words at a glance (one eye-jump’) and to remove the necessity for going backwards to read something a second time.This shows at once that letter-by-letter, or syllable-by-syllable, or word-by-word reading, with the finger pointing to the word, carefully fixing each one in turn, is wrong. It is wrong because such a method ties the pupil’s eyes down to a very short jump, and the aim is to train for the long jump. Moreover, a veryshort jump is too short to provide any meaning or sense; and it will be found that having struggled with three or four words separately, the pupil has to look at them again, all together and in one group, in order to get the meaning of the whole phrase.6. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the first paragraph?A) Pupils should be trained to reach quickly the stage of reading without having to concentrate on the separate symbols.B) Pupils should look at each printed symbol for its meaning as well as for its shape. C) Teachers should help their pupils avoid looking at the shape of the printed symbols. D) Teachers should tell their pupils the different stages of their study. 7. In a single moment, a good reader picks up ________.A) several words B) several phrases C) several sentencesD) several lines8. According to the passage, which of the following is FALSE?A) The eyes of a good reader make short halts and long jumps.B) The eyes of a bad reader take in the meaning of one word at a time. C) The eyes of a bad reader take only short jumps. D) The eyes of a good reader move steadily.9. One may have to read something a second time if ________.A) there is enough time B) one reads too fastC) the passage is very long D) one reads word by word10. The main idea of the last paragraph is that ________.A) word-by-word reading is highly inefficientB) pupils have to move their eyes back and forth when readingC) finger pointing in reading helps the pupil concentrate on meaningD) the pupil’s eyes should focus on groups of syllables instead of single syllablesPassage ThreeMr. Grey was the manager of a small office in London. He lived in the country, and came up to work by train. He liked walking from the station to his office unless it was raining, because it gave him some exercise.One morning he was walking along the street when a stranger stopped him and said to him, “You may not re member me, sir, but seven years ago I came to London without a penny in my pockets, I stopped you in this street and asked you to lend me some money, and you lent me 5, because you said you werewilling to take a chance so as to give a man a start on the way to success.”Mr. Grey thought for a few minutes and then said, “Yes, I remember you. Go on with your story!” “Well,” answered the stranger, “are you still willing to take a chance?” 11. How did Mr. Grey get to his office? A. He went up to work by train. B. He walked to his office.C. He went to his office on foot unless it rained.D. He usually took a train to the station and then walked to his office if the weather was fine. 12.

Each passage is followed by some questions.For each of them there are four choices marked A B C and D. You should decide on the bestchoice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through thecenter.Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage: Students graduating from colleges today are not fully prepared to deal with the “real world.” Itis my belief that college students need to be taught more skills and information to enable them tomeet the challenges that face everyone in daily life. The areas in which students need training areplaying the credit game planning their personal financial strategy and consumer awareness. Learning how to obtain and use credit is probably the most valuable knowledge a young personcan have. Credit is a dangerous tool that can be of tremendous help if it is handled with caution.Having credit can enable people to obtain material necessities before they have the money topurchase them outright. But unfortunately many many young people get carried away with theirhandy plastic credit cards and awake one day to find they are in serious financial debt. Learninghow to use credit properly can be a very difficult and painful lesson indeed. Of equal importance is learning how to plan a person budget. People have to know how tocontrol money otherwise it can control them. Students should leave college knowing how toallocate their money for living expenses insurance savings and so forth in order to avoid the“Oh no I’m flat broke and I don’t get paid again for two weeks’ anxiety syndrome. Along with learning about credit and personal financial planning graduating college studentsshould be trained as consumers. The consumer market today is flooded with a variety of productsand services of varying quality and prices. A young person entering the “real world” is suddenlyfaced with difficult decis ions about which product to buy or whose services to engage. He isusually unaware of such things as return policies guarantees or repair procedures. Information ofthis sort is vital knowledge to everyday living. For a newly graduated college student the “real world” can be a scary place to be when he orshe faced with such issues as handling credit planning a budget or knowing what to look forwhen making a purchase and whom to purchase it from. Entering the “real world” could be madeless painful if people we re educated in dealing with these areas of daily life. What better place toaccomplish this than in college21. According to the writer graduating students _____________. A will find it hard to get a job with only knowledge gained form college B have insufficient skills and knowledge and do not deserve a college diploma C will not be able to earn enough money to support themselves D do not have the necessary knowledge and skill to deal with the realities of life22. The writer points out that many young people __________________. A fall into debt due to ill-advised use of credit cards B have to depend on credit to purchase some material necessities C do not know the power of credit and easily run into serious financial debt D start buying too much on credit before they get a paid job23. Students suffer from an anxiety syndrome because _____________. A they do not have their parents’ financial support B they are worried that they don’t get paid on time C they run out of money and can’t cover their living expenses D they can’t afford to buy insurance for themselves24. To “train students as consumers” means to enable them to _____________. A handle their credit with caution B plan their spending carefully so that they don’t go broke C make wise purchasing decisions and be informed about consumer services D cope with serious financial problems25. By asking “What better place to accomplish this than incollege” the writer means that _____. A the best place to train students to deal with personal financial issues is in college B students should be trained to enter the real world after they graduate from college C students can best be trained in business and economics in college D students should be taught to cope with the difficult problems they will be facing after graduationQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage: Numerous gestures facial expression and motions also send different signals in differentcultures. For example Americans are often direct in their conversations expecting the truth withno hint of deception. People in some other countries though may prefer not to be direct. To themthis is s sign of respect. In America a person who is reluctant to maintain eye contact is calledshifty-eyed and arouses suspicion. But in come countries an attempt to maintain eye contact maybe perceived as a sign of aggression. Accordingly in Japan South Korea and other Asiancountries maintaining eye contact is not an acceptable behavior. The evaluation of how to spend time also differs culturally. Western cultures view time as aresource that is not to be wasted. The efficient use of time is emphasized in such expression as“Time is money” and “Time is the enemy”. People thus live by schedules and deadlines and thriveon being prompt for meetings and “efficient’ in conductin g business. In contrast Eastern culturesview time as unlimited and unending. In such places people arrive late for appointments businessis preceded by hours of social rapport and those who are in a rush are occasionally thought to bearrogant and untrustwor thy. Let’s say that a salesperson form Chicago calls on a client in MexicoCity. After spending 30 minutes in the outer office the person from Chicago feels angry andinsulted assuming “This client must attach a very low priority to my visit to keep me waiting halfan hour.” In fact the Mexican client does not mean to imply anything at all by this delay. To theMexican a wait of 30 minutes is a matter of course. Moreover many cultures value relationships. Europeans and Asians place a high regard onlong-term relationships rather than on short-term gains which runs counter to what mostAmericans perceive. Excessive emphasis on speed and time may give the impression that thetransaction is more important than the person. That is a fundamental error in professionaljud gment in many regions of the world. Personal achievement is also viewed differently in different cultures. For the most partAmerican society is an individualistic society where most people strive for personal achievementand they consider their position in the organization for which they work as an indication of status.By contrast Hindu teachings suggest that acquisitions and achievement are not to be soughtbecause they are the major causes of suffering in one’s daily life. In Asian countries cooperationis a n art and individual competitiveness is less desirable than teamwork and team spirit. The distance between individuals when talking is another issue that must be known andrespected. Although one may not be able to define the exact distance most individuals have aspecific amount of space that they remain between themselves and others when conversing. Americans are typically made uncomfortable by the close conversation distance of Arabs andAfricans. They stand about five feet apart when conducting a business conversation. To an Arab ora Latin American this distance is uncomfortable. In meeting with North Americans they move alittle closer. The Americans assume they are pushy and react negatively. As a result Arabs andAfricans may feel rejected by the lengthy personal distance Americans maintain.26. It is acceptable in the _____________ culture to maintain direct eye contact. A Japanese B North Korean C American D South Korean27. Americans do NOT favor ____________.A maintaining eye contactB be indirect in conversationsC be prompt for meetingsD beefficient in transactions28. The Mexican client keeps the Chicago salesperson waiting for 30 minutes to _____________. A insult him B show efficiency C attach low priority to his visit D follow the rules of the culture29. Many European and Asian cultures value_____________. A long-term relationships B speed and time C professional judgment D short-term gains30. The distance of conversation for the Americans is _______ than that of the Arabs and Africans. A closer B farther C less comfortable D more comfortableQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage: Learning on the Internet is becoming big business. John Chambers CEO of Cisco Systemscalls it the “second wave” of e-commerce. “E-learning is going to be so big it will make e-maillook like a rounding error” he has said while International Data Corporation believes that onlineeducation will be a 15bn market. ELT will have a share in this market. The number of users whoaccess the Web in a language other than English is growing fast-------more than 100m accordingto a recent survey and a significant proportion of these users will want to improve their English. ELT entrepreneurs have not been slow in responding to the challenge: there are hundreds ofEnglish language sites now on the Web offering courses resources games newsletters andservices such as teacher recruitment. Some such as International House’s Net Languages and therecently launched are backed by big school chains. Others such as the Brit ishCouncil’s new LearnEnglish site act as a “portal” or gateway to its own and other providers’language resources. However the problem with portals is that they are not “sticky”. They attract plenty of visits butthe visitors leave as soon as they find what they are looking for. LearnEnglish has some excellentcontent but not enough to keep visitors engaged for long periods. One way round this is to createso-called “vortals” or “vertical portals”. These are still doorways into material but all the materialis on the same site. Vortals are subject-specific. They want their visitors to stick around. Englishtown an independent subsidiary of EF Education was set up in 1997 and now claims tohave 500000 members in more than 100 countries. Online courses are free but students pay forteacher-led courses. GlobalEnglish was founded in 1997 by a group of technologists and academics. LikeEnglishtown it offers a full range of services including 24-hour teacher-led chat roomsandcomputer-adaptive assessment tests. GlobalEnglish has also recruited an impressive advisoryboard that includes David Nunan former TESOL president and Dave Sperling of the pioneeringsite ESL Café. At the moment these sites present little threat to conventional schools. There are some goodcourses on offer but they are good precisely because they involve a human teacher andteacher-class interaction. Remove the human element and the sites lose much of their value.

Normally a student must attend a certain number of courses in order to graduate, and each courses which he attends gives him a credit which he may count towards a degree. In many American universities the total work for a degree consists of thirty- six courses, each lasting for one semester. A typical course consists of three classes per week for fifteen weeks. While attending a university a student will probably attend four or five courses during each semester. Normally a student would expect to take four years attending two semesters each year. It is possible to spread the period of work for the degree course, though this is not in fact done as a regular practice.For every course that he follows a student is given a grade, which is recorded, and the record is available for the student to show to prospective employers. All this is imposes pressure from the strain of work, but in spite of this some students still find time for great activity in student affairs.Elections to positions in student organizations arouse much enthusiasm. The effective work of maintaining discipline is usually performed example by cheating, has to appear before a student court.

However, special care should be taken in selecting new blood for you. If the blood is too different from your own , the transfusion could kill you.There are four basic t ypes of blood: A, B, AB, and O. A simple test can indicate a person’s blood type, which, like hair and height, is inherited from parents.Because of substances contained in each type, the four groups must be transfused carefully. Basically, A and B cannot be mixed. A and B cannot receive AB, but AB may receive A or B. O can give to any other group; hence it is often called the universal donor. For the opposite reason, AB is sometimes called the universal recipient. However, because so many reactions can occur in transfusions, patients usually receive only salt or plasmA.liquiD.until their blood can be matched as exactly as possible in the blood bank of a hospital. In his way, it is possible to avoid any bad reactions to the transfusion.There is a relationship between your blood type and your nationality. Among Europeans and people of European ancestry, about 42 percent have type A while 45 percent have type O. The rarest is type AB. Other races have different percentages. For example, some American Indian groups have nearly 100 percent type O. （10 分）(1). A good title for this passage is_________________________ （2 分）A. Getting Blood and PlasmaB. Special Blood TypesC.

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 27 to 31 are based on the following passage.Instead of a boost to productivity, many firms are discovering that the Internet is having the opposite effect in the workplace. Employees are surfing the web, checking their stocks, tuning in to web-broadcasts, all while being paid to work. A recent study suggests that German companies lose almost $50 billion each year through employees’ personal workplace web surfing. It’s been estimated that as many as 60% of all em ployees with desktop Internet access go online at least once daily for non-business activities. On average they spend some 3.2 hours a week of company time online.The German government, always eager for new sources of tax revenue, has announced that it is investigating ways to tax Internet access by employees for personal use, the theory being that free surf time is a taxable employee benefit -- like a company car.Imposing such a tax would be difficult, but the threat helps to highlight employers’need to keep employees’ noses to the grindstone. Of course, one company’s problem can be another company’s opportunity. Filtering and monitoring software is a booming business -- and the future looks bright. The Internet access control software business will likely generate over $500 million in annual sales by 2004. That means more firms will be installing software like Super Scout by Surf Control, which not only knows where you surfed, but can block access to nonessential sites. So, if the next time you go surfing your board seems a little bit smaller, it could be because Big Brother is going along for the ride.27. What is the headache to many firms?A) Employees’ surf time is increasing.B) The difficulty of imposing tax on Internet access by employees for personal use.C) The increasing money paid for employees’ personal use online.D) Business is slow with the coming of the Internet.28. The opposite effect of the Internet, in the eyes of many firms, is that ________.A) employees are surfing without realizing the passage of timeB) employees have an access to the Internet for their own benefit free of chargeC) employees pay less attention to their work while they have to pay for the undesirableD) the fluctuation in stock mar ket can affect employees’ incentives29. ”to keep employees’ noses to the grindstone” ( Paragraph 3) means ________.A) to make employees continue to work hard without interruptionB) to prevent employees from going surfing onlineC) to encourage employees to go surfing while workingD) to punish employees for wrongdoing30. Who will benefit from this issue?A) The German government. C) The software company.B) The firms. D) The company collecting taxes.31. What can be concluded from the last paragraph?A) There will be a boost to productivity with the help of Surf Control.B) The German government will sooner or later find a new way of increasing tax revenue.C) You are likely to be watched and controlled while online in workplace.D) Your employer is likely present while you go surfing.Passage TwoQuestions 32 to 36 are based on the following passage.International airlines have rediscovered the business travelers, the man or woman who regularly jets from country to country as part of the job. This does not necessarily mean that airlines ever abandoned their business travelers. Indeed, companies like Lufthansa and Swissair would rightly argue that they have always catered best for the executive class passengers. But many lines could be accused of concentrating too heavily in the recent past on attracting passengers by volume, often at the expense of regular travelers. Too often, they have seemed geared for quantity rather than quality.Operating a major airline in the 1980s is essentially a matter of finding the right mix of passengers. The airlines need to fill up the back end of their wide-bodied jets with low fare passengers, without forgetting that the front end should be filled with people who pay substantially more for their tickets.It is no coincidence that the two major airline bankruptcies in 1982 were among the companies specializing in cheap flights. But low fares require consistently full aircraft to make flights economically viable, and in the recent recession thevolume of traffic has not grown. Equally the large number of airlines jostling for the available passengers has created a huge excess of capacity. The net result of excess capacity and cut-throat competition driving down fares has been to push some airlines into collapse and leave many others hovering on the brink.Against this grim background, it is no surprise that airlines are turning increasingly towards the business travelers to improve their rates of return. They have invested much time and effort to establish exactly what the executive demands for sitting apart from the tourists.High on the list of priorities is punctuality; an executive’s time is money. In-flight service is another area where the airlines are jostling for the executive’s attention. The free drinks and headsets and better food are all part of the lure.32. One criticism against many international airlines is that they have, in the recent past _____.A) catered for the more wealthy peopleB) given preferential treatment to executive clientsC) only met the needs of the regular travelerD) marketed their service with the masses in mind33. With the intention of attracting a somewhat different type of passengers, the airlines have now begun to concentrateon _____.A) ensuring that the facilities offered to the executive are indeed superiorB) providing facilities enabling business travelers to work on boardC) organizing activities in which first-class passengers can participateD) installing sleeping compartments where more privacy is ensured34. From the passage we can infer that _____.A) a successful airline in the 1980s met the needs not only of the masses but also of the wealthy passengersB) it is more comfortable to sit in the back of jet planesC) business travelers dislike touristsD) only by specializing in cheap flights can airlines avoid bankruptcy35. In Paragraph 5 “in-flight service” means “_____”.A) service on the plane C) flights within one countryB) a new safety device D) charge-free air service36. The following are all used to attract passengers EXCEPT _____.A) punctuality B) sound system C) free drinks D) charge-free foodPassage ThreeQuestions 37 to 41 are based on the following passage.The sun today is a yellow dwarf star. It is fueled by thermonuclear reactions near its center that convert hydrogen to helium (氦). The sun has existed in its present state for about 4 billion and 600 million years and is thousands of times larger than the earth.By studying other stars, astronomers can predict what the sun’s life will be like. About 5 billion years from now, t he core of the sun will shrink and become hotter. The surface temperature will fall. The higher temperature of the center will increase the rate of thermonuclear reactions. The outer regions of the sun will expand approximately 35 million miles, about the distance to mercury (水星), which is the closest planet to the sun. The sun will then be a red giant star. Temperatures on the earth will become too high for life to exist.Once the sun has used up its thermonuclear energy as a red giant, it will begin to shrink. After it shrinks to the size of the earth, it will become a white dwarf star. The sun may throw off huge amounts of gases in violent eruptions called nova (新星) explosions as it changes from a red giant to a white dwarf.After billions of years as a white dwarf, the sun will have used up all its fuel and will have lost its heat. Such a star is called a black dwarf. After the sun has become a black dwarf, the earth will be dark and cold. If any atmosphere remains there, it will have frozen onto the earth’s surface.37. What is the main purpose of this passage?A) To warn people of the dangers posed by the sun.B) To present a theory about the red giant stars.C) To discuss conditions on earth in the future.D) To describe changes that the sun will go through.38. When the sun becomes a red giant, what will conditions be like on the earth?A) Its atmosphere will freeze and become solid.B) It will be wrapped in the expanding surface of the sun.C) It will become too hot for life to exist.D) It will be nearly destroyed by nova explosions.39. What can be inferred from the passage?A) The sun is approximately halfway through its life as a yellow dwarf.B) The sun has existed for 10 billion years.C) The sun will continue as a yellow dwarf for another 10 billion years.D) The sun is rapidly changing in size and brightness.40. What does the word “there” in the last sentence refer to?A) Our own planet. C) The outer surface of the sun.B) The core of a black dwarf. D) A white dwarf.41. The tone of this passage is ________.A) humorous and satirical C) comicB) objective D) sentimental (伤感的)Part III••Vocabulary and StructureDirections: There are a number of incomplete sentences in this part.
