She smiled as she led her students to the bus that would take them to the Greenly Apple Orchard（果园）.The bus ride was bumpy and the kids were a little noisy, but still Miss Joan was smiling.The bus stopped in front of the Greenly Orchard Store and the class got off quickly and quietly. Miss Joan made sure everyone was there. “What a glorious,sunny, apple picking day,” Miss Joan announced with her grandest smile.Mr. Greenly was there to greet them. “Let see, there are eighteen children and two adults atMiss Joan held u p the brochure in her hand. “It says that the price is two dollars each,”she pointed ort. “That‟s what I collected from everyone.”“We‟ve had to raise the price,” Mr. Greenly stated.“You sent me this brochure after we made our reservation,” Miss Joan complained, “and it says two dollars!”“Miss Joan, if you look at the bottom of this brochure,” Mr. Greenly said, “you‟ll notice a very important statement.”Sure enough, in very tiny letters, it said, “Prices are subject to change without notice.”Miss Joan was determined to keep her good mood. She took a twenty dollars bill out of her own purse and handed it to Mr. Greenly with the forty dollars she had in an envelope.“Now children, do you all have your baskets?” Miss Joan called out. “Remember, you can pic k as many apples six apples each.”“I beg your pardon!”Miss Joan was not smiling now. “The brochure says,…ALL YOU CAN PICK‟!”Mr. Greenly pointed to the tiniest letters Miss Joan had ever almost seen. It also says, “Terms and conditions of group reservat ions are subject to change without notice.”Miss Joan‟s good mood was now history. She didn‟t want to set a bad example for her students, so she said in a calm and quiet voice, “We‟re going home, give me our money back, please.”31.How many dollars did Miss Joan hand to Mr. Greenly?A. 20.B. 40.C. 60.D. 1832.The phrase “subject to change without notice” suggests .A.Mr. Greenly could change the terms at will.B.the customers should read the brochure carefullyC.Mr. Greenly could determine what apples to be picked.D.the customers should be informed beforehand.33.The students could not pick as many apples as they would like because .A.they were children.B. there were not enough apples.C. they had made a group reservation.D. they would eat up too many apples.34.“Miss Joan‟s good mood was now history?”(the last paragraph) means .A.Miss Joan had been happy until that moment.B.Miss Joan was no longer interested in history.C.Miss Joan taught her students the history of the orchard.D.Miss Joan was good at concealing her feelings35.What can we learn about Miss Joan from the story?A.

There has been a strong tendency to use them interchangeably as though they mean the same thing, but they are not the same.Although modern in their usage, the two words derived from ancient Latin. The word civilization is based on the Latin civis, of a city. Thus civilization, in its most essential meaning, isit would seem that certain insects, such as ants or bees, are also civilized. They live and work together in social groups. So do some microorganisms. But there is more to civilization, and that is what culture brings to it. So, civilization is inseparable from culture.The word culture is derived from the Latin verb colere, till the soil. But colere also has a wider range of meanings. It may, like civis, mean inhabiting a town or village. But most of its definitions suggest a process of starting and promoting growth and development. One may cultivate a garden; one may also cultivate one‟s interests, mind, and abilities. In its modern use the word culture refers to all the positive aspects and achievements of humanity that make mankind different from the rest of the animal world. Culture has grown out of creativity, a characteristic that seems to be unique to human beings.One of the basic and best-know features of civilization and culture is the presence of tools. But more important than their simple existence is that the tools are always being improved and enlarged upon, a result of creativity. It took thousands of years to get from the first wheel to the latest, most advanced model of automobile.It is the concept of humans as toolmakers and improvers that differentiates them from other animals. A monkey may use a stick to knock a banana from a tree, but that stick will never, through a monkey‟s clevernes s, be modified into a hook or a ladder. Monkeys have never devised a spoken language, written a book, composed a melody, built a house, or painted a portrait. To say that birds build nests and beavers(海狸)their dens is to miss the point. People once lived in caves, but their cleverness, imagination, and creativity led them to progress beyond caves to buildings.36. What does the author think of the words “civilization”and “culture”?A. They are identical.B. They are different concepts.C. They can often be used interchangeably.D. They are defined differently by different people.37. According to the author the word “civilization” originally refers to .A. people‟s way of life in citiesB. people‟s ability to live together in citiesC. a type of social organizationsD. an advanced level of social life38. The Latin verb colere originally means “”.A. live in a cityB. develop oneselfC. promote growthD. cultivate the land39. The author believes that creativity .A. is a unique feature of civilized beingsB. brings forth the improvement of toolsC. is the result of human developmentD. helps the advance of culture40. The author mentions monkeys in the last paragraph to show that .A. monkeys are the same as birdsB. people once lived in caves like monkeysC. monkeys can never develop into human beingsD. man is different from other animals such as monkeysPassage ThreeThe huge growth of global “ecotourism”industry is becoming an increasing concern for conservationists with mounting evidence that many wild species do not respond well to contact with human beings. Overexposure to tourists has been linked to stress, abnormal behaviour and adverse health effects in species such as polar bears, dolphins and gorillas(大猩猩)，says a report in New Scientist.While regulated ecotourism can help conservation efforts by encouraging people to manage endangered species and their habitats, many projects are poorly designed and unregulated, it says.environmentally friendly policies and operations.”While regulated ecotourism can help conservation efforts by encouraging people to manage endangered species and their habitats, “many projects are p oorly designed and hint they are based on environmentally friendly policies and operations.”Ecotourism is growing by 10 to 30 percent a year and an estimated 20 percent of tourists are thought to visit a conservation-based project. Philip Seddon, of the University of Otago in New Zealand, said that although most tourist projects conformed to basic guidelines on land use and not scaring wildlife, their full impact was rarely considered.“Transmission of disease to wildlife, or subtle changes to wildlife health through disturbance of daily routines or increased stress levels may translate to lowered survival and breeding,” he said. Research at the University of Auckland has shown that dolphins become restless and overactive when many tourist boats are present. When three or more boats are near, the dolphins rest for 0.5 percent of the time, compared with 68 percent when they are accompanied by a single boat. The findings are backed up by studies of dolphins in Britain. Researchers at the University of Manitoba in Canada have found that male polar bears easily disturbed by tourist vehicles, with a possible effect on their heart rate and metabolism(新陈代谢). That could reduce body fat levels and fitness, critical for survival.In Africa, gorillas have picked up parasites introduced to their habitat by tourists and mongooses(蠓)have caught lung diseases from human beings. Experts said that the answer to the problems was better regulation and supervision of ecotourism. The Galapagos Islands, where visitor numbers are strictly controlled, is a good model.41. Ecotourism is meant to .A. have tourists help in the conservation of wildlifeB. have wild species respond well to contact with humansC. make wild species reduce stress and abnormal behaviourD. make conservationists more concerned with wildlife42. According to New Scientist, many ecotourist projects .A. really encourage people to protect wildlife and its habitatB. strictly follow environmentally friendly policiesC. actually lack proper examination and official approvalD. seriously damage the habitats of endangered species43. What will happen to wildlife ul timately if the present “ecotourism” practice goes on?A. It will disturb their life.B. It will affect their health.C. It will increase their stress.D. It will threaten their survival.44. According to the passage, the growth in the global “ecotourism” industry .A. reflects an increasing concern for conservationB. arouses a growing concern for conservationC. coincides with a mounting concern for conservationD. originates from a grater concern for conservation45. According to the passage, a solution to the “ecotourism” problem is to .A. encourage people to manage endangered speciesB. reduce the exposure of wildlife to human beingsC. help wild animals increase their fitnessD. prevent wildlife from catching human diseasesComputers can beat chess champion Gary Kasparov at his game, count all the atoms in a nuclear explosion, and calculate complex figures in a fraction of a second, but they still fail at the slight differences in language translation. Artificial Intelligence computers have large amounts of memory, capable of storing huge translating dictionaries and extensive lists of grammar rules. Yet, today‟s best computer language translators have just a 60 percent accuracy rate. Scientist s are still unable to program the computer with human-like common sense reasoning power.Computer language translation is called Machine Translation, or MT. While not perfect, MT is surprisingly good. MT was designed to process dry, technical language that people find tedious to translate. Computers can translate basic phrases, such as “You foot bone‟s connected to your ankle bone, your ankle bone‟s connected to your leg bone.” They can translate more difficult phrases, such as “Which witch is which?” Computers can also accurately translate “Wild thing, you make my heart sing!” into other languages because they can understand individual words, as long as the words are pre-programmed in their dictionary.But highly sensitive types of translating, such as important diplomatic conversations, are beyond the scope of computer translating programs. Human translators use intuitional meaning, not logic, to process words and phrases into other languages. A human can properly translate the phrase, “The pen is in the pe n(围养禽畜的圈),” because most humans know that it means that a writing instrument is in a small enclosed space. Many times, computers do not have the ability to determine in which way two identical words in one sentence are to be used.In addition to using massive rule-programmed machines, computer programmers are also trying to teach computers to learn how to think for themselves through the “experience” of translating. Even with these efforts, programmers admit that a “thinking” computer might not ever be invented in the future.46. Computers today are capable of .A. defeating the best chess player in the worldB. telling subtle differences between languagesC. translating over 60 percent of difficult textsD. doing human-like common sense reasoning47. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?A. Computers can translate dry and difficult phrases.B. Computers can understand sensitive language.C. Computers can translate technical language.D. Computers can understand pre-programmed words.48. The major problem with computer translating programs is that computers .A. can not translate illogical sentencesB. do not have a large enough capacity of memoryC. can not understand grammatical rulesD. do not have intuition to process language49. To improve machine translation, computer programmers are trying to .A. use powerful rule-programmed computersB. teach computers to think by practiceC. have computers compile translating dictionariesD. add explanations of words in computer programs50. The passage suggests that .A. the accuracy rate of machine translation cannot be raisedB. it is impossible for computers to think as humans doC. only technical language is suitable for machine translationD. it is impossible to determine of identical wordsSeveral years ago during the dot-com passion, Manhattan lawyer John Kennedy sometimes wore a dark blue suit to meet potential Internet clients. But he soon realized that his conservative clothes were a strike against him before he even shook hands. So he began to do business in casual, open-shirt clothes.But now the tables have turned. Today Silicon Valley executives are the ones often coming out in suits. No wonder that Fortune 500 executives are dusting off their silk ties and pants.” I would say there is a trend now toward a little more business dress,” said Kennedy. “I find myself wearing suits more.”While there isn‟t a rush toward formal office wear, clothiers and executives say the workplace uniform is heading that way. In many offices, men are wearing jackets, ties and pants more frequently than a year age. Top women executives never went as casual as men, so the shift doesn‟t affect them as dramatically.“Business casual” took several years to catch on. It started with casual Fridays, evolved to casual summers, then became casual everyday. A return to the button-down look also will take time, observers say. Lehman Brothers is one of the few major firms that has officially returned to a formal dress policy, at least for offices that clients visit. Men were told to wear suits and ties and women to wear suits or dresses. The shift is due to a rethinking of work environments and more contacts with clients as the firm has grown.Observers mention many factors driving the trend. Internet companies helped lead the dress-down movement and other industries followed suit to attract workers. But with the collapse of many dot-coms, the relaxed look is becoming a style to avoid. Moreover, as the economy stumbles, more people are hunting for jobs or trying to keep the ones they have, and appearance counts.US President Bush wears a coat and tie in the White House office and expects his staff to dress “professionally,” which some say sets a tome for the nation.Chuck Wardell, managing director of a recruiting firm, believes a lot of employees like a stiffer uniform. “They‟re going to work. They don‟t want to feel like they‟re going to a picnic.”51.”Business casual” was prevalent several years ago because _____.A. the Manhattan law business grew very quicklyB. shaking hands with clients became popularC. the country was fighting the conservativesD. the Internet companies boomed then52. When the “bu siness ca sual” prevailed, _____.A. businessmen wore ties only in workplaceB. businessmen didn‟t wear ties at allC. businesswomen didn‟t wear formally in workplaceD. businesswomen still wore formally everywhere53. The Fortune 500 executives__________.A. set the trend toward more casual wearB. are particular about what they wearC. begin to wear suits more often than beforeD. are usually indifferent to fashion trend54. At the beginning of the “business casual” trend, business people wore casually___________.A. when meeting clientsB. on weekendsC. in summerD. almost every day55. It is implied in the passage that the change of business dress from the casual to the formalreflects_____.A. the changed of people‟s taste in fashionB. the ups and downs of the fashion industryC. the ups and downs of the Internet companiesD. people‟s different preference in business dressPart IV CloseThe United States has historically had higher rates of marriage than those of other industrialized countries. The current annual marriage 56 in the United States ---about 9 new marriages for every 1,000 people ---is 57 higher than it is in other industrialized countries. However, marriage is 58 as widespread as it was several decades ago. 59 of American adults who are married 60 _ form 72 percent in 1970 to 60 percent in 2002.This does not mean that large numbers of people will remain unmarried 61 their lives. Throughout the 20th century, about 90 percent of Americans married at some 62 in their lives. Experts_ 63 that about the same proportion of today‟s young adults will eventually marry.The timing of marriage has varied 64 over the past century. In 1995 the average age of women in the United States at the time of their first marriage was 25.The average age of men was about 27.Men and women in the United States marry for the first time at an average of five years later than people did in the 1950s. 65 ,young adults of the 1950s married younger than did any previous 66 in U.S. history. Today‟s later age of marriage is 67 the age of marriage between 1890 and 1940. Moreover, a greater proportion of the population was married (95 percent)during the 1950s than at any time before 68 .Experts do not agree on why the “marriage rush” of the late 1940s and 1950s occurred, but most social scientists believe it represented a 69 to the return of peaceful life and prosperity after 15 years of severe economic 70 and war.56. A. rate B. ratio C. percentage D. poll57. A. potentially B. intentionally C. randomly D. substantially相当大的58. A. not any longer B. no more C. no longer D. not any more59. A. A proportion B. The proportion C. The number D. A number60. A. declined B. deteriorated C. deduced D. demolished61. A. past B. passing C. throughout D. through62. A. period B. level C. point D. respect63. A. project B. plan C. promise D. propose64. A . unexpectedly B. irregularly C. flexibly D. consistently65. A. Besides B. However C. Whereas D. Nevertheless66. A. descendants B. ascendants C. population D. generation67. A. according to B. in line with C. based on D. caused by68. A. and after B. or after C. or since D. ever since69. A. refusal B. realization C. response D. reality70. A. repression B. aggression C. restriction D. depressionPart V Error Detection71. It is an accepted custom for guests to take their gifts to the wedding reception when the coupleinvited them to attend.72. Some international students use a cassette recorder to make tapes of their classes so that theycan repeat the lectures again.73. Despite of diligent efforts to promote domestic production during the war years, the ContinentalArmy had to rely primarily on captures and imports for much of its military hardware and even for clothing.74. In a sense, farmers began primitive genetic engineering at the dawn of agriculture, which theykept seeds from their best plants, gradually improving the quality of successive generations.。

(76) They contain the quickest and the most efficient means of communicating within their respective culture. To learn a foreign language is to learn another culture. In the words of a poet and philosopher, "As many languages as one speaks, so many lives one lives." A culture and its language are as necessary as brain and body: while one is a part of the other, neither can function without the other. In learning a foreign language, the best beginning would be starting with the non-language elements of the language: its gestures, its body language, etc. Eye contact is extremely important in English. Direct eye contact leads to understanding, or, as the English saying goes, seeing eye-to-eye. We can never see eye to-eye with a native speaker of English until we have learned to look directly into his eyes.SSS_SINGLE_SEL1.The best title for this passage is ______.A Organs of CultureB Brain and BodyC Looking into His EyesD Language and Culture该题您未回答:х该问题分值: 2答案:D本题考查的是考生对全文主旨的把握，此题要求选择题目(title)。

For each of them there are four choices marked A， B， C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage 1Questions I to 5 are based on the following passage：When we talk about intelligence， we do not mean the ability to get good scores on certain kinds of tests or even the ability to do well in school. By intelligence we mean a way of living and behaving， especially in a new or upsetting situation. If we want to test intelligence， we need to find out how a person acts instead of how much he knows what to do.（76） For instance， when in a new situation， an intelligent person thinks about the situation， not about himself or what might happen to him. He tries to find out all he can， and then he acts immediately and tries to do something about it. He probably isn't sure how it will all work out， but at least he tries. And，if he can't make things work out right， he doesn't feel ashamed that he failed；he just tries to learn from his mistakes. An intelligent person， even if he is very young， has a special outlook on life， a special feeling about life， and knows how he fits into it.If you look at children， you'll see great difference between what we call “bright” children and “not-bright” children. They are actually two different kinds of people， not just the same kind with different amount of intelligence. For example， the bright child really wants to find out about life-he tries to get in touch with everything around him. （77） But， the unintelligent child keeps more to himself and his own dream-world； he seems to have a wall between him and life in general.1. According to this passage， intelligence is __________.A. the ability to study wellB. the ability to do well in schoolC. the ability to deal with lifeD. the ability to get high scores on some tests2. In a new situation， an intelligent person__________.A. knows more about what might happen to himB. is sure of the result he will getC. concentrates on what to do about the situationD. cares more about himself3.

Bright children and not-bright children__________.A. are two different types of childrenB. are different mainly in their degree of clevernessC. have difference only in their way of thinkingD. have different knowledge about the world5. The author of this passage will probably continue to talk about __________.A. how to determine what intelligence isB. how education should be foundC. how to solve practical problemsD. how an unintelligent person should be taughtPassage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage：Human needs seem endless. （78） When a hungry man gets a meal， he begins to think about an overcoat， when a manager gets a new sports car， a big house and pleasure boats dance into view.The many needs of mankind might be regarded as making up several levels. Whenthere is money enough to satisfy one level of needs， another level appears.The first and most basic level of needs involves food. Once this level is satisfied， the second level of needs， clothing and some sort of shelter， appears.By the end of World War II， these needs were satisfied for a great majority of Americans. Then a third level appeared. It included such items as automobiles and new houses.By 1957 or 1958 this third level of needs was fairly well satisfied. Then，in the late 1950s， a fourth level of needs appeared： the “life-enriching” level. （79） While the other levels involve physical satisfaction， that is， the feeding，comfort， safety， and transportation， this level stresses mental needs for recognition， achievement， and happiness. It includes a variety of goods and services， many of which could be called “luxury” items. Among them are vacation trips， the best medical and dental care， and recreation. Also included here are fancy goods and the latest styles in clothing.On the fourth level， a lot of money is spent on services， while on the first three levels more is spent on goods. Will consumers raise their sights to a fifth level of needs as their income increases， or will they continue to demand luxuries and personal services on the fourth level？A fifth level would probably involve needs that can be achieved best by community action. Consumers may be spending more on taxes to pay for government action against disease， ignorance， crime， and prejudice. After filling our stomachs， our clothes closets， our garages， our teeth， and our minds， we now may seek to ensure the health， safety， and leisure to enjoy more fully the good things on the first four levels.6. According to the passage， man will begin to think about such needs as housing and clothing only when __________A. he has saved up enough moneyB. he has grown dissatisfied with his simple shelterC. he has satisfied his hungerD. he has learned to build houses7. It can be inferred from the passage that by the end of World War II， most Americans __________.A. were very richB. lived in povertyC. had the good things on the first three levelsD. did not own automobiles8. Which of the following is NOT related to “physical satisfaction”？A. A successful career.B. A comfortable home.C. A good meal.D. A family car.9. What is the main concern of man on the fourth level？A. The more goods the better.B. The more mental satisfaction the better.C. The more “luxury” items the better.D. The more earnings the better.10. The author tends to think that the fifth level __________A. would be little better than the fourth levelB. may be a lot more desirable than the first fourC. can be the last and most satisfying levelD. will become attainable before the government takes actionsPassage 3Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage：We use both words and gestures to express our feelings， but the problem is that these words and gestures can be understood in different ways.It is true that a smile means the same thing in any language. So does laughter or crying. There are also a number of striking similarities in the way different animals show the same feelings. Dogs， tigers and humans， for example， often show their teeth when they are angry. This is probably because they are born with those behavior patterns.Fear is another emotion that is shown in much the same way all over the world. （80） In Chinese and in English literature， a phrase like “he went pale and begin to tremble” suggests that the man is either very afraid or he has just got a very big shock. However，“he opened his eyes wide” is used to suggest anger in Chinese whereas in English it means surprise. In Chinese “surprise” can be described in a phrase like 'they stretched out their tongues！' Sticking out your tongue in English is an insulting gesture or expresses strong dislike.Even in the same culture， people differ in ability to understand and express feelings. Experiments in America have shown that women are usually better thanmen at recognizing fear， anger， love and happiness on people's faces. Other studies show that older people usually find it easier to recognize or understand body language than younger people do.11. According to the passage， __________.A. we can hardly understand what people's gestures meanB. we can not often be sure what people mean when they describe their feelings in words or gesturesC. words can be better understood by older peopleD. gestures can be understood by most of the people while words can not12. People's facial expressions may be misunderstood because __________.A. people of different ages may have different understandingB. people have different culturesC. people of different sex may understand a gesture in a different wayD. people of different countries speak different languages13. In the same culture， __________.A. people have different ability to understand and express feelingsB. people have the same understanding of somethingC. people never fail to understand each otherD. people are equally intelligent14. From this passage， we can conclude __________.A. words are used as frequently as gesturesB. words are often found difficult to understandC. words and gestures are both used in expressing feelingsD. gestures are more efficiently used than words15. The best title for this passage may be __________.A. Words and FeelingsB. Words， Gestures and FeelingsC. Gestures and FeelingsD. Culture and UnderstandingPart II Vocabulary and Structure （30%）Directions： In this part there are 30 incomplete sentences. For each sentence there are four choices marked A， B， C and D.

Unfortunately, book prices are so high nowadays that many students can hardly afford to buy them. In face of soaring book price, we have come up with some “trick s”to deal with this unfavorable situation.First, making full use of library resources is the most common “trick”. Our library has a large collection of books on various subjects and from different countries. We find it very beneficial to do so. The second “trick” is that we exchange our own books. As a saying puts it, “Buying books is not so good as borrowing them”. We tend to spend more time reading books borrowed from other students than our own books. Third, we buy books through co-payment. Since each student pays only a partof the cost, books do not seem to unaffordable. This is a self-deceiving “trick”, of course.Though we have thought of some “tricks”to cope with soaring prices, we sincerely hope that book prices will go down sharply so that every student will find books really affordable。

After reading each passage, you will find5 questions or unfinished statements. For each question or statement there are 4choices marked A., B., C. and D. You should choose the most appropriate answer andwrite the letter in the corresponding space on the Answer Sheet.Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.For thousands of years, people have looked up at the night sky and looked at the moon. They wondered what the moon was made of. They wanted to know how big it was and how far away it was. One of the most interesting questions was “Where did the moon come from?” No one knew for sure. Scientists developed many different theories, or guesses, but they could not prove that their ideas were correct.Then, between 1969 and 1972, the United States sent astronauts to the moon. They studied the moon and returned to the earth with rock samples. Scientists have studied these pieces of rock, the moon’s movements, an d information about the moon and the earth. They can finally answer questions about the origin of the moon.Today most scientists believe that the moon formed from the earth. They think that a large object hit the earth early in its history. Perhaps the object was as big as Mars. When the object hit the earth, huge pieces of the earth broke off. These pieces then moved around the earth. After a brief time, the pieces came together and formed the moon.This “impact(撞击)theory” exposes many facts about the ea rth and the moon. For example, the moon is very dry because the impact created so much heat that it dried up all the water. The earth has iron in its centre. However, the moon has very little iron in its centre. This is because the moon formed from lighter materials that make up the outer part of the earth. Finally, the earth and the moon are almost of the same age: the earth is about 4.5 billionyears old, while the moon is about 4.4 billion years old.No one can prove that something really happened billions of years ago. In the future, new information will either support this theory or show that it is wrong. For now, scientists accept the impact theory because it explains what we know today about the earth and the moon.16. From the first paragraph we know that when people looked at the moon they ________.A. wished to travel to itB. enjoyed its beauty very muchC. wanted to know more about itD. developed many theories about it17. Astronauts are people who ________.A. collect rock samplesB. are sent to work in spaceC. are interested in the moonD. study the structure of the moon18. We can infer from the second paragraph that ________.A. answers to the moon have been found out at lastB. scientists are eager to send more astronauts to spaceC. technology helped scientists understand the universe more and betterD. astronauts could not return to the earth without the help of scientists19. It is believed by most scientists that ________.A. the moon was hit by an object as large as MarsB. the moon formed from pieces of rock from MarsC. the pieces from Mars came together to form the earthD. the moon is made up of materials similar to those of the earth20. The “impact theory” sounds reasonable beca use ________.A. scientists have found what happened billions of years agoB. it is based on the newly gathered information about MarsC. it can answer many questions raised about the moon and the earthD. astronauts believe that the moon and the earth are of the same ageQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.I was 15 when I walked into McCarley’s Bookstore in Ashland, Ore., and began scanning titles on the shelves. The man behind the counter, Mac McCarley, asked if I’d like a job. I needed to start saving for college, so I said yes.I worked after school and during summers for minimum wage, and the job helped pay for my freshman year of college. I would work many other jobs: I brewed(煮) coffee in the student union during college, was a hotel maid and even made maps for the U. S. Forest Service. But selling books was one of the most satisfying.One day a woman asked me for books on cancer. She seemed fearful. I showed her virtually everything we had in stock and found other books we could order. She left the store less apprehensive, and I’ve always remembered th e pride I felt in having helped her.Years later, as a television reporter in Los Angeles, I heard about an immigrant child who was born with his thumb attached, weblike, to the rest of his hand. His family could not afford corrective surgery, and the boy lived in shame, hiding his hand in his pocket.I persuaded my boss to let me do the story. After my story was broadcast, a doctor and a nurse called, offering to perform the surgery for free. I visited the boy in the recovery room after the operation. The first thing he did was ho ld up his repaired hand and say, “Thank you.” I felt an overwhelming(巨大的) sense of reward.At McCarley’s Bookstore, I always sensed I was working for the customers, not the store. Today it’s the same. NBC News pays my salary, but I feel as if I work for the viewers, helping them make sense of the world.21. The author accepted the job because ________.A. she wanted to make some money to go to collegeB. she couldn’t find anything better to doC. selling books was one of the most satisfying jobsD. helping people made her feel proud22. The author felt very proud ________.A. because she could help do something for the bookstoreB. when she sold all the books in stock to othersC. because she could order books for the womanD. when she did her best to help the woman23. The word “apprehensive” in the third paragraph probably means ________.A. disappointedB. worriedC. doubtedD. unhappy24. The author ________ because she wanted very much to help the boy.A. broadcast the storyB. wrote a letter to the boyC. reported the story to the publicD. wrote to a doctor and a nurse for help25. ________, the author felt that she was working for those who she served.A. Since she worked in the bookstore after schoolB. When she could help people make sense of the worldC. If she sensed she was working for the customersD. Though she worked for certain companies and got paid by themQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.One form of driver assistance that is sure to call one’s attention is intelligent speed adaptation (ISA)---a technology for forcing a driver to observe the speed limit. This works by building into the car a digital map marked with local speed restrictions. The addition of GPS (global positioning system) navigation tells the car what the maximum speed on any given stretch of road should be. Cars are then slowed down, or prevented from accelerating, whenever they are at or above the speed limit. One way to do this is to starve the engine of fuel. Another is to add a measure of play to the accelerator pedal(油门). A third is to makethe accelerator harder to push down. In future drive-by-wire vehicles, the software would refuse requests from the accelerator pedal when above the speed limit.However, people have different opinions as far as ISA is concerned. Whatever their opinions are, the main justification for ISA is likely to be the high cost of speeding. Studies suggest that ISA could reduce the number of accidents by as much as 40%, and the number of fatal accidents by nearly 60%. It could also improve fuel efficiency, remove the need for enforcing speed limits with cameras and policemen, and reduce the costs of insurance.Trials of ISA systems have already been carried out in Sweden, Denmark, the Netherlands and Britain, and more are planned in Belgium and France. Although resistance is expected from drivers as well as from motor manufacturers, ISA could be introduced gradually, first with new cars and later as retro-fitting (改装) to the remaining old cars──rather as seatbelts were introduced a generation ago. The trials show that a surprisingly large proportion of people come to accept ISA after they have lived with it fora while──again, much like the experience with seatbelts.26. According to the first paragraph the highest allowed speed of a car is to be determinedby ________.A. the acceleratorB. GPSC. a digital mapD. the driver27. One of the measures to keep a car within the speed limit is ________.A. to add less fuel to the engineB. to limit the use of acceleratorC. to push down the accelerator pedalD. to remove the pedal from accelerator28. One of the major reasons for having ISA fixed in a car is to ________.A. replace policemen with a new deviceB. warn drivers of possible accidentsC. have traffic accidents greatly reducedD. introduce fuel-efficient equipment29. According to the passage, ISA systems ________.A. are still in their testing periodB. remain a theory to be testedC. have found wide applications in the auto industryD. have been a popular invention among motor makers30. The author compares ISA with seatbelts to show that ________.A. both could reduce the death rate in traffic accidentsB. fitting ISA in a car is justifiedC. both could make a car accident less seriousD. ISA would take time for people to acceptQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.While acting may run in the family, it wasn’t Angelina Jolie’s only choice when she thought about her future career. Although Jolie has studied her craft since childhood, at onepoint the 26-year-old, who stars this month in Tomb Raider with her father, actor John Voight, wanted to be a funeral director. “I thought that the crossing over could be a beautiful thing and a time of comfort where people could reach out to each other.”Tradition appeals to Jolie, who moved with her mother, Marcheline Bertrand, and brother after her parents separated when she was two. “I never had one home. I never had an attic that had old stuff in it. We always moved, so I was never rooted anywhere. And I always dreamed of having that attic of things that I could go back and look at. And I’m very drawn to some things that are tradition, that are roots, and I think that may be why I focused on funerals.”Finally, she chose acting. “Following in my father’s footsteps,” she says, “is an interesting thing, because I think we speak to each other through our work.

For this was what the notice just inside the entrance promised. It said:“Remember, once a week, one of our customers gets free goods. This May Be Your Lucky Day!”For several weeks Mrs. Edwards hoped, lide many of her friends, to be the lucky customer. Unlike her friends, she never gave up hoping. The cupboards in kitchen were full of things which she did not need. Her husband tried to advise her against buying things but failed. She dreamed ofthe day when the manager of the supermarket would approach her and say:“Madam, this is Your Lucky Day. Everything in your basket is free.”One Friday morning, after she had finished her shopping and had taken it to her car, she found that she had forgotten to buy any tea. She dashed back to the supermarket, got the tea and went towards the cash-desk.. As she did so, she saw the manager of the supermarket approach her.“Madam,” he said, holding out his hand,“I want to congratulate you! You are our luck y customer and everything you have in your basket is free!”51.The housewives learnt about the offer of free goods .A. on TVB. from the managerC. at the supermarketD. from the newspaper52.Mrs.Edwards .A. is always very luckyB. had no friendsC. hoped to get free shoppingD. gets disappointed easily53.Mrs.Edwards’s husband tried to .A. make her unhappyB. cheer her upC. buy things with herD. stop her buying things54.Mrs.Edwards went back to the supermarket quickly because she had to .A. buy another thingB. talk to the managerC. pay for her shoppingD. find her shopping55.Mrs.Edwards must have been .A. pleasedB. delightedC. proudD. disappointedPassage TwoGenerations of Americans have been brought up to believe that a good breakfast is one life’s essentials. Eating breakfast at the start of the day ,we have all been told , and told again, is as necessary as putting gasoline in the family car before starting a trip.But for many people the thought of food first thing in the morning is by no means a pleasure. So despite all the efforts, they still take no breakfast. Between 1977 and 1983, the latest year for which figures are available, the numb er of people who didn’t have breakfast, increased by 33 percent.For those who feel pain of guilt about not eating breakfast , however, there is some good news. Several studies in the last few years indicate that , for adults especially, there may be nothing wrong with omitting breakfast.“Going without breakfast does not affect performance,”said Arrold E. Bender, former professor of the nutrition at Queen Elizabeth College in London, “nor does giving people breakfast improve performance.”Scientific evidence linking breakfast to better health or better performance is surprisingly inadequate, and most of the recent work involves children , not adults,“The literature”, says one reaearcher , Dr, Erresto at the University of Texas ,“is poor”.56. The latest year for which figures could be obtained is .A. the year the author wrote the articleB.1997C. any year between 1977 and 1983D.198357.For those who do not take breakfast ,the good news is that .A .several studies have been done in the past few yearsB. the omission of breakfast does no harm to one’s healtyC. adults have especially made studies in this fieldD. eating little in the morning is good for health58.“… nor does giving people breakfast improve performance”means .A. anyone without breakfast does improve his performanceB. not giving people breakfast improve performanceC. having breakfast does not improve performance, eitherD. people having breakfast do improve their performance59.The wore “literature”in the last sentence refers to .A. stories , poems, play, etc .B. written works on a particular subjectC. any printed materialD. the moden literature of America60.What is implied but NOT stated by the author is that .A. breakfast does not affect performanceB. Dr. Erresto is engaged in research work at an institution of higher learningC. not eating breakfast might affect the health of childrenD. Professor Bender once taught college courses in nutrition in LondonPassage ThreeBanks are not ordinarily prepared to pay out all accounts; they rely on depositors(储户) not to demand payment all at the same time .If depositors should come to fear might cause all the depositors to appear on the same day .If they did ,the band could not pay all accounts. However, if they did not all appear at once, then there would always be enough money to pay those who wanted their money when they wanted it .Mrs. Elsie V aught has told us of a terrifying bank run that she experienced .One day in December of 1925 several banks failed to open in a city where Mrs. Vaught lived. The other banks expected a run the next day, and so the officers of the bank in which Mrs. Vaught worked as a teller had enough money on hand to pay off their depositors. The officers simply told the tellers to pay on demand. The next morning a crowd gathered in the bank and on the sidewalk outside. The length of the line made many think that the bank could not possibly pay off everyone .People began to push and then to fight for places near the tellers’ windows. The power of the panic atmosphere was such that two tellers, though they knew that the bank was quite all right and could pay all depositors, drew their own miney from the bank. Mrs. Vaught says that she had difficulty keeping herself from doing the same.61.A bank run happens when_____.A. a book is closed for one or more days.B. too many depositors try to draw out their money at one timeC. there is not enough money to pay all its depositors at one timeD. tellers of a bank take their own money from the bank62. The tellers in Mrs. Vaught’s bank were told to_____.A. explain why they could not pat out all accountsB. pay out accounts as requestedC. make the depositors believe that the bank was standD. pay out money as slowly as possible63. The main cause of a bank run is____.A. loss of confidenceB. lack of moneyC. crowds of peopleD. inexperienced tellers64. Which of the following did Mrs. Vaught say?A. She knew that the bank was not sound.B. She feared that too many depositors drawing their money would close the bank..C. She was not able to draw out her money.D. She was tempted to draw out her money.65. According to the passage ,the actions of the depositors of Mrs. Vaught’s bank were affected mainly by the ____.A. ease with which they could get their moneyB. confidence that Mrs. Vaught showedC. failure of several other banks to openD. confidence shown by other depositors of the bankPassage FourThe energy which the sun radiates goes in every direction ,and only a minute part of it falls on the earth .Even so , it represents power of about 5,000,000 horsepower(马力)per square mile per day ;the sun gives us as much energy every minute as mankind utilizes in a year .At present , we use this energy indirectly , and it is our final source of power . Coal represents the chemical action of the sun on green plants thousands of years ago . Water power results from the rain formed by vapor which comes from the evaporation of water under the sunshine . Even windmills operate because of air currents set in motion by the different heating effects of the sun in different places . Some day ,through chemistry or some type of solar engine , we shall harness this great source of energy more directly . Already a scientist has worked out an engine , surprisingly efficient , in which the sun’s rays are concentrated through mirrors on a rube of water to create steam .66. How much energy given off by the sun reaches the earth?A.100% but indirectlyB.5%C. 50%D. only a very tiny amount67. The reason why all the solar energy falling on the earth can’t be utilized is that ____.A. only a very small part is availableB. the sun is too distant from the earthC. it takes thousands if years for this energy to be stored up in coal and oilD. our scientific knowledge is not sufficient68. Which of the following statements is NOT true ?A. Even windmill’s action depends on the sunB. The sun produces enormous energy for man to make use of ..C. Some day man will be able to utilize 100% of the solar energy that gets to the earth.D. The sun produces different heating effects in different places.69. In order to support this argument , the writer gives the example that____.A. a machine using solar energy efficiently has already been developedB. the sun is our final source of powerC. man uses only a tiny part of the sun’s energyD. the part of the sun’s energy we use is used indirectly70. This passage centers mainly on_____.A. harnessing energy through chemistryB. our last source of powerC. how water power is producedD. the amount of solar energy that can be utilizedPart V Cloze (20points)Directions : There are 20 blanks in the following passage . For each blank there are four choices marked A , B , C and D below the passage . You should choose the one that best fits into the passage . Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer with single line through the center .From childhood to old age , we all use language as a means of broadening our knowledge of ourselves and the world about us . When humans first 71 , they were like newborn children ,unable to use this 72 tool .Yet once language developed , the possibilities for human kind’s future 73 and cultural growth increased .Many linguists believe that evolution is 74 for our ability to produce and use language . They 75 that our highly evolved brain provides us 76 an innate language ability not found in lower 77 . Proponents of this innateness theory say that our 78 for language is inborn ,but that language itself develops gradually , 79 a function of the growth of the brain during childhood . Therefore there are critical 80 times for language development .Current 81 of innateness theory are mixed ,however ,evidence supporting the existence of some innate abilities is undeniable . 82 , more and more schools are discovering that foreign languages are best taught in 83 grades . Young children often can learning several language by being 84 to them ,while adults have a much harder time learning another language once the 85 of their first language have become firmly fixed .86 some aspects of language are undeniable innate ,language dose not develop automatically in a vacuum . Children who have been 87 from other human beings do not possess language . This demonstrates that 88 with other human beings is necessary for proper language development . Some linguists believe that this is even more basic to human language 89 than any innate capacities . These theorists view language as imitative, learned behavior . 90 ,children learnlanguage from their parents by imitating them. Parents gradually shape their child’s language skills by positively reinforcing precise imitations and negatively reinforcing imprecise ones.71. A. generated B. evolved C. born D. originated72.

I used to go with him but he had such a 23 time trying to persuade people even to see him thatI seldom had to do any tests. We had been to all the schools near where we lived, but the more my father argued, the more 24 it became. In the end, we went to a school about five miles away from home. The headmaster kept us waiting for 25 an hour. While we were waiting, I 26 around at the school building, which was one of those old Victorian structures, completely out of date but still standing.

Family ViolencePassage T woDuring the Christmas shopping rush in London, the interesting story was reported of a tramp (流浪者) who, apparently though no fault of his own, found himself locked in a well-known chain store late on Christmas Eve. No doubt the store was crowded with last-minute Christmas shoppers and the staff were dead beat and longing to get home. Probably all the proper security checks were made before the store was locked and they left to enjoy the three-day holiday untroubled by customers desperate to get last-minute Christmas presents.However ridiculous that may be, our tramp found himself alone in the store and decided to make the best of it. There was food, drink, bedding and camping equipment, of which he made good use. There must also have been television sets and radios. Though it was not reported if he took advantage of these facilities, when the shop reopened he was discovered in bed with a large number of empty bottles beside him. He seems to have been a man of good humor as indeed tramps very commonly are.Everyone else was enjoying Christmas, so he saw no good reason why he should not do the same. He yielded himself cheerfully, and was taken by the police. Perhaps he had had a better Christmas than usual. He was sent to prison for seven days. Tile judge awarded no compensation (赔偿) to the chain store for the food and drink our tramp had consumed. They had, in his opinion, already received valuable free public ity from the story revealed in the newspaper and on television Perhaps the judge had a good Christmas, too.36. The tramp was locked in the store ______.A. for 7 daysB. on purposeC. by accidentD. for security reasons37.

When the tramp was arrested, he ______.A. was drunkB. felt he deserved itC. made no resistanceD. felt himself wronged40. The judge didn't award compensation to the chain store because ______.A. the store was responsible for what happenedB. the report of the event benefited the store a lotC. the tramp had stolen nothing of valueD. the tramp was pennilessPassage ThreeIf you want to stay young, sit down and have a good think. This is the research result of Professor Faulkner, who says that most of our brains are not getting enough exercise and as a result, we are ageing unnecessarily soon.Professor Faulkner wanted to find out why healthy farmers in northern Japan appeared to be losing their ability to think and to reason at a relatively early age, and how the process of ageing could be slowed down.He set about measuring brain volumes of a thousand people of different ages and occupations.Computer technology enabled him to obtain precise measurements of the volume of the front andside sections of the brain, which relate to intelligence and emotion, and determine the human character.Contraction of front and side parts--as cells die off--was observed in some subjects in their thirties, but it was still not evident in some sixty-and seventy-year-olds.Faulkner concluded from his tests that there is a simple way to slow the contraction--using the head.The findings show that contraction of the brain begins sooner in people in the country than in the towns. Those least at risk, says Faulkner, are lawyers, followed by university professors and doctors. White-collar workers doing routine work are, however, as likely to have shrinking brains as the farm worker, bus driver and shop assistant.Faulkner's findings show that thinking can prevent the brain from shrinking. Blood must circulate properly in the head to supply the fresh oxygen the brain cells need. "The best way to maintain good blood circulation is through using the brain," he says. "Think hard and engage in conversstion, Don't rely on pocket calculators."41. Professor Faulkner wanted to find out ______.A. how people's brains shrinkB. the way of making people live longerC. the size of certain people's brainsD. why certain people aged sooner than others42. Faulkner's research findings are based on______.A. a survey of farmers in northern JapanB. tests performed on a thousand old peopleC. the study of brain volumes of different peopleD. the latest development of computer technology43. The professor's tests show that ______.A. our brains shrink as we grow oldB. the front section of the brain does not shrinkC. seventy-year-olds have better brains than sixty-year-oldsD. brain contraction may vary among people of the same age44. The underlined word "subjects" in paragraph 5 means ______.A. branches of knowledge studied in a schoolB. something to be consideredC. persons experimented onD. citizens in a country45. According to the passage, which group of people seem to age slower than the others?A. Farmers.B. Lawyers.C. Clerks.D. Shop assistants.Passage FourNews has just been received of an air crash in the north of England. The plane, which was on a charter (包租)flight from London to Carlisle, was carrying a party of businessmen on their way to a trade fair. It seems likely that the plane ran into a heavy fog as it was approaching Carlisle and was obliged to circle for some twenty minutes. Everything seemed to be going well. The pilot was in constant radio communication with Ground Control when the engines suddenly cut out and all contact was lost. The plane crashed on the site of the ancient Roman camp at Hadrin' s Hill, a place well known to archaeologists (考古学家) and tourists.So far few details have been reported, but it is feared that at least twenty people lost their lives, among them the pilot, who was killed instantly. The local ambulances and firemen were on the scene within minutes of the crash, but additional help had to be rushed from other areas.Mr. Lesilie Collins, one of the survivors, told our reporter, "We passengers noticed the engines were making a funny noise. Of course we couldn't see anything because of the fog, but the pilot said there was nothing to worry about. The next thing we know, the engines went dead. There was a rushing noise--and after that I don’t remember any more."Mr. Collins is now in hospital, being treated for minor injuries. We will be bringing you further news of the crash as we receive it. In the meantime relatives are asked to ring 02-3457211 for information.46.

Students work on their own at home, at work, or at school and communicate with faculty and other students by means of e-mail, electronic meetings, videoconferencing, chat rooms, instant messaging and other forms of computer-based communication. There are both advantages and disadvantages to online distance learning.There are many benefits to using online distance learning environments. Online education is available all thetime, anywhere and to all people. However, there are weaknesses for some learners. The online learner only has the written text and no other face-to-face hints. This may confuse the learner and cause misunderstanding. While distance learning allows for an openness, it is also difficult because it is done by e-mail messages and writing, and therefore may take more time than face-to-face learning. Sometimes the messages can be overwhelming for many online students.Universities, colleges and schools use online distance learning environments. These are important for students who may be unable to attend classes for various reasons like illnesses or busy everyday schedules. Some learners just want to further their studies at home. They enjoy the convenience of home learning as they take regular programs or enrichment classes.Online courses keep learner very occupied at all hours of the day. There are a great many messages and other online resources to read .and respond to. Most learners have regular jobs or attend regular school classes on ground as well.

北京成人本科英语真题2005年04月(总分：100.00，做题时间：90分钟)一、{{B}}Part Ⅰ Reading Comprehension{{/B}}(总题数：3，分数：30.00){{B}}Passage 1{{/B}}Human needs seem endless. (76) {{U}}When a hungry man gets a meal, he begins to think about an overcoat; when a manager gets a new sports car, a big house and pleasure boats dance into view.{{/U}}The many needs of mankind might be regarded as making up several levels. When there is money enough to satisfy one level of needs, another level appears.The first and most basic level of needs involves food. Once this level is satisfied, the second level of needs, clothing and some sort of shelter, appears. By the end of World War Ⅱ, these needs were satisfied for a great majority of Americans. Then a third level appeared. It included such items as automobiles and new houses.By 1957 or 1958 this third level of needs was fairly well satisfied. Then, in the late 1950s, a fourth level of needs appeared: the "life-enriching" level. (77) {{U}}While the other levels involve physical satisfaction, that is, the feeding, comfort, safety, and transportation, this level stresses mental needs for recognition, achievement, and happiness.{{/U}} It includes a variety of goods and services, many of which could be called "luxury" items. Among them are vacation trips, the best medical and dental care, and recreation. Also included here are fancy goods and the latest styles in clothing.On the fourth level, a lot of money is spent on services, while on the first three levels more is Spent on goods. Will consumers raise their sights to a fifth level of needs as their income increases, or will they continue to demand luxuries and personal services on the fourth level?A fifth level would probably involve needs that can be achieved best by community action. Consumers may be spending more on taxes to pay for government action against disease, ignorance, crime, and prejudice. After filling our stomachs, our clothes closets, our garages, our teeth, and our minds, we now may seek to ensure the health, safety, and leisure to enjoy more fully the good things on the first four levels.（分数：10.00）(1).According to the passage, man will begin to think about such needs as housing and clothing only when ______.（分数：2.00）A.he has saved up enough moneyB.he has grown dissatisfied with his simple shelterC.he has satisfied his hunger √D.he has learned to build houses解析：本题考查的是考生对文章几处细节的把握。

People use money to buy food, furniture, books, bicycles and hundreds of what they need or want. When they work, they usually get paid in money.Most of the money today is made of metal or paper. But people used to use all kinds of things as money. One of the first kinds of money was shells. Shells were not the only things used as money. In parts of Africa, cattle were one of the earliest kinds of money. Other animals were used as money, too.The first metal coins were made in China. They were round and had a square hole in the center. People strung（系）them together and carried them from place to place. Different countries have used different metals and designs for their money. The first coins in England were made of tin. Sweden and Russia used copper to make their money. Later, other countries began to make coin of gold and silver.But even gold and silver were inconvenient if you had to buy something expensive. Again the Chinese thought of a way to improve money. They began to use paper money. The first paper money looked more like a note from one person to another than paper money used today.Money has had an interesting history from the days of shell money until today.61. Which of the following can be cited as an example of the use of money in exchange for services?A) To sell a bicycle for ＄20B) To get some money for old booksC) To buy things you need or wantD) To get paid for your work62. Where were shells used as money in history?A) In the Philippines. B) In ChinaC) In Africa D) It is not mentioned63. Why, according to the passage, did ancient Chinese coins have a square hole in the center?A) Because it would be easier to put them together and carry them around.B) Because it would be lighter for people to carry them from place to place.C) Because people wanted to make it look nicer.D) Because people wanted to save the expensive metal they were made from.64. Why does the author say that even gold and silver were inconvenient if you had to buy something expensive?A) Because they are easy to steal.B) Because they are difficult for people to obtain.C) Because they are not easy to carry around.D) Because they themselves are expensive, too.65. Which one do you choose as the best title for this passage?A) Money and Its UsesB) Different Things Used as MoneyC) Different Countries, Different MoneyD) The History of MoneyTwoResearch has shown that motivation（动机）is very important in learning a language; you need to be enthusiastic about it, and to be interested in it. Different people will have different motives – the desire for promotion, the hope of being able to study abroad, curiosity about a very different culture, and pure intellectual enjoyment is only one of possible motives. But actually wanting to learn is the most important motive of all.Courage is an essential attribute（属性）in learning a language. It takes a lot of courage to speak a foreign language either in front of your friends or to native speakers, but don’t be afraid of making mistakes---that is the way we learn. Nowadays there are many different forms of English, each with its own constructions and accent, and, so long as you can make yourself understood and can understand what is said to you, you have succeeded in communicating, which is the purpose of any language.Curiosity is not only a possible motivation. It is also a great help in your learning. Remember that a language is not just a grammatical system, it is the outcome of a certain culture. It is not very helpful just to learn lots of words and lists of grammatical rules unless you know as much as possible about the background of the language, so that you can understand the ideas which are being conveyed（表达），the references which are being made, and the inferences which can be drawn from the information explicitly（明白地）given. So learn as much as you can about the different cultures which influence English—watch television programs, listen to the radio, try to obtain newspaper and magazines which are written by native speakers, look at advertisements, and above all, read---not textbooks, but novels and poems and plays. They will show you how language is really used. The English language is not an abstract(抽象的)system; it is a living form of expression which derives much of its meaning from the context in which it is used, and much of its effect from a whole network of extra – linguistic（语言学之外的）knowledge. If you live in a country where English is the native language, you acquire this knowledge naturally, just as in China you acquired your own cultural knowledge unconsciously. But, becauseyou are unlikely to be able to visit countries where English is spoken as the native language, you have to make a conscious effort to acquire this cultural awareness and knowledge.66. With what topic is this passage primarily concerned?A) Curiosity in Learning a Language B) Courage in Learning a LanguageC) Motivation in Learning a Language D) Qualities in Learning a Language67. The author of this passage possibly is a ______.A) beginner of English Learning B) foreign teacher of EnglishC) Chinese teacher of English D) Chinese student studying abroad68. What does the author suggest in this passage?A) You should not learn grammar.B) You should ignore the rules of pronunciation.C) You should learn a language by making mistakes.D) You should learn a language at school69. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?A) You should be prepared to make mistakes in communicationB) Words are the basis of English learningC) Good pronunciation is important to an English learner.D) Wanting to know everything does not help you learning a language.70. According to the author, what’s the best way of learning English?A) To study hard B) To study abroadC) To learning about cultures D) To make mistakesThreeAmongst the most popular books being written today are those which are usually classified as science fiction（科幻小说）.Hundreds of titles are published every year and are read by all kind of people. Furthermore, some of the most successful films of recent years have been based on science fiction stories.It is often thought that science fiction is a fairly new development in literature, but its ancestors（原型）can be found in books written hundreds of years ago. These books are often concerned with the presentation of some forms of ideal society, a theme which is still often found in modern stories.Most of classics of science fiction, however, have been written within the last one hundred years. Books by writers such as Jules Verne and H. G. Wells, to mention just two well – known authors, have been translated into many languages.Modern science fiction writers don’t writes about men from Mars or space adventure stories. They are more interested in predicting the results of technical developments on society and the human mind; or in imagining future worlds which are a reflection（反映）of the world which we live in now. Because of this their writing has obvious political undertones（含意）.In an age where science fact frequently overtakes（超越）science fiction, the writers may find it difficult to keep ahead of scientific advances. Those who are sufficiently clear – sighted to see the way we are going, however, may provide avaluable lesson on how to deal with the problems which society will inevitably face as it tries to come to terms with a continually changing view of the world.71. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A) Science fiction is fairly new in literature.B) Science fiction is rather popular with people today.C) Science fiction often deals with some form of ideal society.D) Hundreds of books classified as science fiction are printed every year.72. Earliest science fiction was written _____.A) one hundred years agoB) by Jules Verne and H. G. WellsC) to tell people how to imagine future worldsD) hundreds of years ago73. Modern science fiction writers are interested in_______.A) adventures in spaceB) some form of ideal worldC) future worlds which have nothing in common with our present societyD) predicting developments in technology and their effects on society74. In our present world, _____________________.A) science develops as fast as it is predicted by science fiction writersB) science develops faster than writers can imagineC) science fiction writers can always foresee what wonders science can doD) Only science fiction writers can see the way science is going75. Which of the following is NOT the conclusion that we draw from this passage?A) Sensible science fiction writers may tell us what to do in future.B) We are bound to have problems as we try to make progress in science.C) No one knows anything about what to do with the problems we are to face.D) Our view of the world are subject to change.IV.Short Answer (10 points, 2 for each)Do you find getting up in the morning so difficult that it’s painful? This might be called laziness, but Dr. Kleitman has a new explanation. He has proved that everyone has daily energy cycle.During the hours when you labor through your work you may say that you’re “hot”. That’s true. The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak. For some people the peak comes during the morning. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so, but it leads to such familiar monologues（独白）as: ”Get up, John! Y ou will be late for work again! ” The possible explanation to the trouble is that John is at his temperature－and－energy peak in the evening. Much family quarreling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean, and which cycle each member of the family has.Y ou can’t change your energy cycle, but you can learn to make your life fit it better. Habit can help, Dr. Kleitmen believes. Maybe you’re sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway. Counteract（对抗）your cycle to some extent by habitually staying up later than you wantto. If your energy is low in the morning but you have an important job to do early in the day, rise before your hour. This won’t change your cycle, but you’ll get up and work better at your low point.Get off to a slow start which saves your energy. Get up with a leisurely yawn（呵欠）and stretch. Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor. A void the troublesome search for clean clothes by laying them out the night before. Whenever possible, do routine work in the afternoon and takes requiring more energy or concentration for your sharper hours.76. What is Dr. Kleitman’s new explanation?It is that everyone has _________________________________________________________.77.When is the time your cycle of body temperature is at its peak?It is ________________________________________________________________________.78. If one wants to work more efficiently at his low point in the morning, he should ______________________________________________________________________________.79. Y ou are advised to rise with ________________ because it will help to keep your energy for the day’s work.80. According to the passage, does the peak come to people at the same time?______________________________________________________________________________.V.Writing (25 points)（根据以下三点提示，写一篇不少于100个英文单词的短文）In Face of Soaring Book Prices1.如今书价越来越高2.我们应付昂贵书价的一些方法3.希望书价越来越便宜。

After reading each passage, you will find 5 questions or statements. For each questionor statement there are 4 choices marked with A, B. C and D. You shouldchoose the Answer Sheet.Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.Most holidaymakers are not aware of the health risks they face abroad even in the most popular destination, because official advice is not reaching them, according to a report from the Foreign Policy Center.The research by the European think tank found that only 9 percent of travelers could name a health threat on their trip, from sunburn to malaria, and only 2 percent of holidaymakers consult the Office before their departure.The failure to take necessary precautions abroad could lead to a serious situation which can be disastrous for both individual health and the global economy. The growing intensity and complexity of travel patterns means controlling health problems is becoming even more difficult. Recent outbreaks of SARS and bird flu in the Far East have shown that even relatively small outbreaks can have a great impact on countries economies and the travel industry.In 2002, Britons made 60 million trips abroad, and around 30-50 percent fell ill, though most cases were minor complaints such as sunburn. The "Health Travel" report recommends major changes in the way travelers are advised about health abroad. Worldwide studies have shown that health officers often give inadequate travel health advice that is not up-to-date, many people assume they will be told about health risks and don't realize they should seek advice themselves, and most brochures don't contain any health information.The report suggested that instead of relying on the Foreign Office to give advice, travel agents, insurers, the media and guide books should all pass on health information. It said there should be more projects along the lines of the “Know Before You Go" campaign which asks travel companies to pass on Foreign Officers advice to customers.But it said advisers should not be overly scrutinized (my) in case they stopped publishing warnings, and travelers should be aware there is always an element of uncertainty in any health warning. Equally, the report said that too many warnings might mean tourists would stop paying attention to them.16. Most tourists traveling in foreign countries have little know-ledge of _______.A. the health problems on the tripB. the diseases they have developedC. the policy of the destination countryD. the advice given by the local hospital17. The outbreak of a disease is harder to control because _______.A. individual health problem is ignored by both the government and the touristsB. the way people travel today has become more complexC. there is lack of international cooperationD. it is often infectious in nature8. According to a report in the "Health Travel”, __________.A. great changes have taken place in the way the tourists travel overseasB. many travelers failed to realize the health risks they would face abroadC. travel agents, insurers and media often give wrong health information to touristsD. travel health advice provided for the tourists is not adequate and often out of date19. The word “impact”(Line 5, Para. 3) most probably means _______.A. affectionB. influenceC. contributionD. significance20. The author's purpose in writing the passage is ________.A. to stress the health threat that tourists face abroadB. to inform people of diseases in scenic spots abroadC. to advise travelers about what to do before the travel abroadD. to discuss the relationship between one s health and world's economy Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.Be careful of those who use the truth to deceive. When someone tells you something that is true, but leaves out important information that should be included, he can create a false impression. For example, someone might say, I just won a hundred dollars on the lottery (my). It was great. I took that dollar ticket back to the store and turned it in for one hundred dollars! " This guy’s a winner, right? Maybe yes, maybe no, we then discovered that he bought two hundred tickets, and only one was a winner. He's really a big loser!He didn't say anything that was false, but he deliberately omittedimportant information. That's called a half-truth. Half-truths are not technically lies, but they are just as dishonest.Untrustworthy candidates in political campaigns often use this strategy. Let's say that during Governor Smith's last term, her state lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs. Then she seeks another term. One of her opponents runs an ad saying, “During Governor Smith's term, the State lost one million jobs!" That's true. However, an honest statement would have been, "During Governor Smith's tern, the State had a net gain of two million jobs."Advertisers will sometimes use half-truths. It's against the law to make false claims so they try to mislead you with the truth. An ad might boast (自夸), " Nine out of ten doctors recommend Yucky Pills to cure nose pimples (疙瘩) . " It fails to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Corporation. This kind of deceiving happens too often. It's a sad fact of life Lies are lies, and sometime the truth can be a lie as well.21. The word "deceive" (Line 1, Para. 1 ) probably means ______ in this passage.A. to tell someone to make his judgmentB. to refuse to believe that something is trueC. to make someone believe something is trueD. to give someone a wrong belief about something22. According to the passage, the half-truths used by advertisers in their advertisements are often _______.A. illogicalB. interestingC. misleadingD. persuasive23. The author's purpose in writing this passage is to tell readers _______.A. to think carefully about what they read and hearB. to avoid leaving out important informationC. how to read advertisementsD. how to deal with liars24. Which statement is true according to the passage?A. It's common to deliberately omit important information in a news report.B. It's quite likely that that the truth can be used in dishonest ways.C. Most people became jobless during Governor Smith's term.D. it is a fact that lies are lies but truths can hardly be lies.25. Which is the best title for this passage?A. Why People Lie.B. Making False Claims.C. Lying with the Truth.D. How to Win a Lottery.Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage,Now, online learning has become acceptable and common -place it is seen by students and employees as a more flexible and convenient way to takeclasses; it will allow courses to De delivered more cost-effectively; and teachers figure they d better start teaching online or be left without a job Whether any of this is true or not doesn't matter ~ online learning is "hot" and everybody wants to be a part of it.The following questions are intended to guide you in your decision about whether an online course is a good match for you.Yes No1. I have excellent organizational skills.2. I am a very self-directed learner.3. I end to get things done ahead of time rather than waiting to the4. I can figure out written instructions very well on my own.5. I prefer immediate. feedback on assignments and get frustratedwhen I have to wait.6. I like learning about new technologies; they don't threaten me.7. I can perform the basic computer tasks.8. I can find at least 10 to 15 hours a week to devote to each onlinecourse I may take.9. I have Internet Explorer 5.0 or later or Netscape 4, x or lateron my computer and my Internet access is via a 56K modem or better.10. I have frequent access to a computer and to the Internet.It you answered YES to most of these questions, it is a good sign that you have the learner characteristics needed to succeed in an online course.If you answered NO to most of these questions, it's possible that taking a fully online course may not be your best choice. You may wish to try online learning in a web-enhanced course to determine if a fully online course is the best choice to meet your educational needs. If you plan to take an online course at Armstrong Atlantic State University, you will have access to technology help with your course through Student Technology Services, They can be reached by phone 927-5321 or by email at techhelp@.26 From the passage we can learn that online learning has become “hot”because______.A. a lot of students like its flexibility and convenienceB. it doesn’t require classrooms or other on-site facilities.C. everybody wants to be a part of itD. more teachers start teaching online27. Those who ______ may not be successful when they take a hem online course.A. have easy and convenient access to a computerB. can find 12 hours a week on lineC. are poorly self-organizedD. are self-organized28.

Adequate computer hardware and software are necessary for an online course.C. Certain online courses are not well suitable for educational purposes.D.

This passage is probably _______.A. an application form for an online learningB. a survey report about online learningC. an analysis test on the characteristics required by online learningD. an advertisement of the online course at an American university Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.If the developing-world Colombians are happy mostly because they really like to be and the developed-world Japanese are not so happy because for them, personal happiness isn't part of the plan, it would seem to follow that one's happiness has little to do with material well-being and a lot to do with attitude- at lest when it comes to filling out surveys. The planets happiest souls, as determined by the World Happiness Database at Rotterdam’s Erasmus University, are the Danes, the Swiss and the Maltese, all of whom score 8 on a 10-point scale of happiness. Most of Asians, including the Japanese, score 6 on this measure, while troubled Pakistan is near the bottom at 4.3.Biswas-Diener agrees that attitude counts, but also notes that highly developed nations, as a group, score consistently high, suggesting that it doesn't hurt a country to pave its highways and disinfect its water supply. Democracy, as measurement for most of the world, is a sure guide to happiness. And there are no superpowers when it comes to happiness The U. S. is pretty active, but in the study of international college students, it ranked the eighth, tied with Slovenia. It would appear that merely living as if you are No. 1 and running around the would shouting you are No. 1, doesn't mean that you feel like No. 1 Inside.Even Biswas-Diener cautions that national-happiness rankings are crude instruments That s especially true when comparing West with East, cultures where the pursuit of happiness is a national obsession (my) with cultures where, as the Chinese philosopher belong to one of the highest-ranking countries, you'll enjoy gazing at the big scoreboard an thinking about thesource of your collective joy. Whereas, if your motherland fares badly, you might want to consider spending more time in Denmark.31. Danes are happier than Japanese because _______.A. they take a more positive attitude to life.B. they do not need to work so hardC. they are a lot wealthierD. they are from Europe32. The word "counts" (Line 1, Para. 2) most probably means _______.A works B. decides C. matters D. explains33. Another factor contributing to happiness is _________.A. highwaysB. democracyC. higher educationD. unpolluted water supply34. The fact that the U. S. ranked eighth in the study of international colleges shows that _______.A. Americans like to claim happinessB. American college student are activeC. America has close relationship with SloveniaD. Americans are not as happy as they appear to be35. What the Chinese philosopher said probably means that ________.A. only the person himself knows whether he is happy or notB. those who fight for happiness can never be happyC. happiness will be available to those who don't seek it deliberatelyD. you can never get the happiness without a long struggle for it Part: III CloseDirections: There is a passage in this part with 10 blanks in it.

TranslationPart I Reading Comprehension (30%)Directions: There are three passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Human needs seem endless. (76) When a hungry man gets a meal, he begins to think about an overcoat; when a manager gets a new sports car, a big house and pleasure boats dance into view. The many needs of mankind might be regarded as making up several levels. When there is money enough to satisfy one level of needs, another level appears. The first and most basic level of needs involves food. Once this level is satisfied, the second level of needs, clothing and some sort of shelter, appears. By the end of World War Ⅱ, these needs were satisfied for a great majority of Americans. Then a third level appeared. It included such items as automobiles and new houses. By 1957 or 1958 this third level of needs was fairly well satisfied. Then, in the late 1950s, a fourth level of needs appeared: the “life-enriching” level.(77) While the other levels involve physical satisfaction, that is, the feeding, comfort, safety, and transportation, this level stresses mental needs for recognition, achievement, and happiness. It includes a variety of goods and services, many of which could be called “luxury”items. Among them are vacation trips, the best medical and dental care, and recreation. Also included here are fancy goods and the latest styles in clothing. On the fourth level, a lot of money is spent on services, while on the first three levels more is Spent on goods. Will consumers raise their sights to a fifth level of needs as their income increases, or will they continue to demand luxuries and personal services on the fourth level? A fifth level would probably involve needs that can be achieved best by community action. Consumers may be spending more on taxes to pay for government action against disease, ignorance, crime, and prejudice. After filling our stomachs, our clothes closets, our garages, our teeth, and our minds, we now may seek to ensure the health, safety, and leisure to enjoy more fully the good things on the first four levels.1．According to the passage, man will begin to think about such needs as housing and clothing only when ______.A．he has saved up enough moneyB．he has grown dissatisfied with his simple shelterC．he has satisfied his hungerD．he has learned to build houses正确答案：C解析：本题考查的是考生对文章几处细节的把握。

After reading each passage, you will find 5 questions or statements. For each questionor statement there are 4 choices marked with A, B. C and D. You shouldchoose the Answer Sheet.Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.Most holidaymakers are not aware of the health risks they face abroad even in the most popular destination, because official advice is not reaching them, according to a report from the Foreign Policy Center.The research by the European think tank found that only 9 percent of travelers could name a health threat on their trip, from sunburn to malaria, and only 2 percent of holidaymakers consult the Office before their departure.The failure to take necessary precautions abroad could lead to a serious situation which can be disastrous for both individual health and the global economy. The growing intensity and complexity of travel patterns means controlling health problems is becoming even more difficult. Recent outbreaks of SARS and bird flu in the Far East have shown that even relatively small outbreaks can have a great impact on countries economies and the travel industry.In 2002, Britons made 60 million trips abroad, and around 30-50 percent fell ill, though most cases were minor complaints such as sunburn. The "Health Travel" report recommends major changes in the way travelers are advised about health abroad. Worldwide studies have shown that health officers often give inadequate travel health advice that is not up-to-date, many people assume they will be told about health risks and don't realize they should seek advice themselves, and most brochures don't contain any health information.The report suggested that instead of relying on the Foreign Office to give advice, travel agents, insurers, the media and guide books should all pass on health information. It said there should be more projects along the lines of the “Know Before You Go" campaign which asks travel companies to pass on Foreign Officers advice to customers.But it said advisers should not be overly scrutinized (my) in case they stopped publishing warnings, and travelers should be aware there is always an element of uncertainty in any health warning. Equally, the report said that too many warnings might mean tourists would stop paying attention to them.16. Most tourists traveling in foreign countries have little know-ledge of _______.A. the health problems on the tripB. the diseases they have developedC. the policy of the destination countryD. the advice given by the local hospital17. The outbreak of a disease is harder to control because _______.A. individual health problem is ignored by both the government and the touristsB. the way people travel today has become more complexC. there is lack of international cooperationD. it is often infectious in nature8. According to a report in the "Health Travel”, __________.A. great changes have taken place in the way the tourists travel overseasB. many travelers failed to realize the health risks they would face abroadC. travel agents, insurers and media often give wrong health information to touristsD. travel health advice provided for the tourists is not adequate and often out of date19. The word “impact”(Line 5, Para. 3) most probably means _______.A. affectionB. influenceC. contributionD. significance20. The author's purpose in writing the passage is ________.A. to stress the health threat that tourists face abroadB. to inform people of diseases in scenic spots abroadC. to advise travelers about what to do before the travel abroadD. to discuss the relationship between one s health and world's economy Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.Be careful of those who use the truth to deceive. When someone tells you something that is true, but leaves out important information that should be included, he can create a false impression. For example, someone might say, I just won a hundred dollars on the lottery (my). It was great. I took that dollar ticket back to the store and turned it in for one hundred dollars! " This guy’s a winner, right? Maybe yes, maybe no, we then discovered that he bought two hundred tickets, and only one was a winner. He's really a big loser!He didn't say anything that was false, but he deliberately omittedimportant information. That's called a half-truth. Half-truths are not technically lies, but they are just as dishonest.Untrustworthy candidates in political campaigns often use this strategy. Let's say that during Governor Smith's last term, her state lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs. Then she seeks another term. One of her opponents runs an ad saying, “During Governor Smith's term, the State lost one million jobs!" That's true. However, an honest statement would have been, "During Governor Smith's tern, the State had a net gain of two million jobs."Advertisers will sometimes use half-truths. It's against the law to make false claims so they try to mislead you with the truth. An ad might boast (自夸), " Nine out of ten doctors recommend Yucky Pills to cure nose pimples (疙瘩) . " It fails to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Corporation. This kind of deceiving happens too often. It's a sad fact of life Lies are lies, and sometime the truth can be a lie as well.21. The word "deceive" (Line 1, Para. 1 ) probably means ______ in this passage.A. to tell someone to make his judgmentB. to refuse to believe that something is trueC. to make someone believe something is trueD. to give someone a wrong belief about something22. According to the passage, the half-truths used by advertisers in their advertisements are often _______.A. illogicalB. interestingC. misleadingD. persuasive23. The author's purpose in writing this passage is to tell readers _______.A. to think carefully about what they read and hearB. to avoid leaving out important informationC. how to read advertisementsD. how to deal with liars24. Which statement is true according to the passage?A. It's common to deliberately omit important information in a news report.B. It's quite likely that that the truth can be used in dishonest ways.C. Most people became jobless during Governor Smith's term.D. it is a fact that lies are lies but truths can hardly be lies.25. Which is the best title for this passage?A. Why People Lie.B. Making False Claims.C. Lying with the Truth.D. How to Win a Lottery.Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage,Now, online learning has become acceptable and common -place it is seen by students and employees as a more flexible and convenient way to takeclasses; it will allow courses to De delivered more cost-effectively; and teachers figure they d better start teaching online or be left without a job Whether any of this is true or not doesn't matter ~ online learning is "hot" and everybody wants to be a part of it.The following questions are intended to guide you in your decision about whether an online course is a good match for you.Yes No1.

I have Internet Explorer 5.0 or later or Netscape 4, x or lateron my computer and my Internet access is via a 56K modem or better.10. I have frequent access to a computer and to the Internet.It you answered YES to most of these questions, it is a good sign thatneeded to succeed in an online course.If you answered NO to most of these questions, it's possible that taking a fully online course may not be your best choice. You may wish to try online learning in a web-enhanced course to determine if a fully online course is the best choice to meet your educational needs. If you plan to take an online course at Armstrong Atlantic State University, you will have access to technology help with your course through Student Technology Services, They can be reached by phone 927-5321 or by email at techhelp@.26 From the passage we can learn that online learning has become “hot”because______.A. a lot of students like its flexibility and convenienceB. it doesn’t require classrooms or other on-site facilities.C. everybody wants to be a part of itD. more teachers start teaching online27.

This passage is probably _______.A. an application form for an online learningB. a survey report about online learningC. an analysis test on the characteristics required by online learningD. an advertisement of the online course at an American university Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.If the developing-world Colombians are happy mostly because they really like to be and the developed-world Japanese are not so happy because for them, personal happiness isn't part of the plan, it would seem to follow that one's happiness has little to do with material well-being and a lot to do with attitude- at lest when it comes to filling out surveys. The planets happiest souls, as determined by the World Happiness Database at Rotterdam’s Erasmus University, are the Danes, the Swiss and the Maltese, all of whom score 8 on a 10-point scale of happiness. Most of Asians, including the Japanese, score 6 on this measure, while troubled Pakistan is near the bottom at 4.3.Biswas-Diener agrees that attitude counts, but also notes that highly developed nations, as a group, score consistently high, suggesting that it doesn't hurt a country to pave its highways and disinfect its water supply. Democracy, as measurement for most of the world, is a sure guide to happiness. And there are no superpowers when it comes to happiness The U. S. is pretty active, but in the study of international college students, it ranked the eighth, tied with Slovenia. It would appear that merely living as if you are No. 1 and running around the would shouting you are No. 1, doesn't mean that you feel like No. 1 Inside.Even Biswas-Diener cautions that national-happiness rankings are crude instruments That s especially true when comparing West with East, cultures where the pursuit of happiness is a national obsession (my) with cultures where, as the Chinese philosopher belong to one of the highest-ranking countries, you'll enjoy gazing at the big scoreboard an thinking about thesource of your collective joy. Whereas, if your motherland fares badly, you might want to consider spending more time in Denmark.31. Danes are happier than Japanese because _______.A. they take a more positive attitude to life.B. they do not need to work so hardC. they are a lot wealthierD. they are from Europe32. The word "counts" (Line 1, Para. 2) most probably means _______.A works B. decides C. matters D. explains33. Another factor contributing to happiness is _________.A. highwaysB. democracyC. higher educationD. unpolluted water supply34. The fact that the U. S. ranked eighth in the study of international colleges shows that _______.A. Americans like to claim happinessB. American college student are activeC. America has close relationship with SloveniaD. Americans are not as happy as they appear to be35. What the Chinese philosopher said probably means that ________.A. only the person himself knows whether he is happy or notB. those who fight for happiness can never be happyC. happiness will be available to those who don't seek it deliberatelyD. you can never get the happiness without a long struggle for it Part: III CloseDirections: There is a passage in this part with 10 blanks in it.
