For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage 1How often one hears children wishing they were grown up, and old people wishing they were young again. Each age has its pleasures and its pains, and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age gives him without wasting his time in useless regrets.Childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities to make life difficult. If a child has good parents, he is fed, looked after and loved, whatever he may do. It is impossible that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return. In addition, life is always presenting new things to the child —things that have lost their interest for older people because they are too well-known. But a child has his pains: he is not so free to do what he wishes to do; he is continually being told not to do things, or being punished for what he has done wrong.When the young man starts to earn his own living, he can no longer expect others to pay for his food, his clothes, and his room, but has to work if he wants to live comfortably. If he spends most of his time playing about in the way that he used to as a child, he will go hungry. And if he breaks the laws of society as he used to break the laws of his parents, he may go to prison. If, however, he works hard, keeps out of trouble and has good health, he can have the great happiness of building up for himself his own position in society.21. According to Paragraph 2, the writer thinks that _______.A. life for a child is comparatively easyB. a child is always loved whatever he doesC. if much is given to a child, he must do something in returnD. only children are interested in life22. After a child grows up, he_____.A. will have little time playingB. has to be successful in finding a jobC. can still ask for help in time of troubleD. should be able to take care of himself23. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A. People are often satisfied with their life.B. Life is less interesting for old people.C. Adults are freer to do what they want to do.D. Adults should no longer rely on others.24. The main idea of the passage is that ______.A. life is not enjoyable since each age has some painsB. young men can have the greatest happiness if they work hardC. childhood is the most enjoyable time in one’s lifeD. one is the happiest if he can make good use of each age in his life25. The paragraph following the passage will most probably discuss ______.A. examples of successful young menB. how to build up one’s position in societyC. joys and pains of old peopleD. what to do when one has problems in lifePassage 2Every country tends to accept its own way of life as being the normal one and to praise or criticize others as they are similar to or different from it. And unfortunately, our picture of the people and the way of life of other countries is often a distorted (曲解) one.Here is a great argument in favor of foreign travel and learning foreign languages. It is only by traveling in, or living in a county and getting to know its inhabitants and their language that one can find out what a country and its people are really like. And how different the knowledge one gains this way frequently turns out to be true from the second-hand information gathered from other sources! How often we find that the foreigners whom we thought to be such different people from ourselves are not very different after all!Differences between peoples do of course, exist and, one hopes, will always continue to do so. The world will be a dull place indeed when all the different nationalities behave exactly alike, and some people might say that we are rapidly approaching this state of affairs. With the much greater rapidity and ease of travel, there might seem to be some truth in this at least as far as Europe is concerned. However this may be, at least the greater ease of travel today has revealed to more people than ever before that the Englishman or Frenchman or German is not some different kind of animal from themselves.26. Every country criticizes ways of life in other countries because they are _______.A. distortedB. normalC. similar to each otherD. different from its own27. One who travels in a foreign country and learns its language will ______.A. find out what its people are likeB. argue in favor of this country and the languageC. know the country and its people betterD. like its inhabitants and their language28. The knowledge one gains by traveling in a foreign county is often _______.A. from second-hand informationB. gathered from other sources than from its inhabitantsC. gained from the arguments about the countryD. different from what one had before the travel29. Differences between peoples ________.A. will gradually disappear because of ease of travelB. do exist even though different nationalities behave exactly alikeC. will always continue to exist and the world will be a dull placeD. will not exist as one hopes30. The underlined word “However” most probably means _________.A. somewhatB. by whatever meansC. anyhowD. no matter whatPassage 3We arranged that Kissinger would fly to Vietnam for talks early in July and then stop in Pakistan on the way back. There he would develop a stomachache that would require him to stay in bed and not be seen by the press. Then, with President Yahya’s cooperation he would be taken to an airport where a Pakistan plane would fly him over the mountains to China.Kissinger’s trip was given the code(密码) name Polo after Marco Polo, another Western traveler who made history by journeying to China. Everything went without a hitch. His slight illness in Islamabad received only minor attention from reporters covering him. They accepted the story that he would be confined to bed for at least a couple of days and began making arrangements for their own entertainment.Because of the need for complete secrecy and the lack of any direct communication facilities between Beijing and Washington, I knew that we would have no word from Kissinger while he was in China. Even after he had returned to Pakistan it would still be important to maintain secrecy. So before Kissinger left, we agreed on a single code word —Eureka －which he would use if his mission were successful.On July 11, Al Haig, who knew our code word, phoned me to saythat a cable from Kissinger had arrived.“What’s the message?” I asked.“Eureka,” he replied.31. Kissinger stopped in Pakistan because ______.A. he happened to have a stomachacheB. he needed a rest after a long journeyC. he had a secret mission to perform thereD. he did not want to be seen by the press32. The reporters in Islamabad believed that ______.A. Kissinger was not feeling wellB. Kissinger had just come back from VietnamC. Kissinger had put off leaving for ChinaD. Kissinger was preparing to entertain them33. The statement “everything went without a hitch” (Para.2) most probably means that ______.A. nothing was easy with the missionB. the plans were carried out with great difficultyC. things went smoothlyD. there was no possibility of success34. There was no news from Kissinger while he was in Beijing, chiefly because _______.A. his trip had to be kept secretB. President Yahya did not go with KissingerC. communication between Beijing and Islamabad was difficultD. the negotiation(谈判) was not successful35. The passage implies that Kissinger’s message “Eureka”was sent _______.A. when the negotiation started in BeijingB. as soon as he arrived in WashingtonC. when he flew to Vietnam on July 11D. when the negotiation was completed in BeijingPassage 4No country in the world has more daily newspapers than the U.S.A. There are almost 2,000 of them, as compared with 180 in Japan, 144 in Argentina and 111 in Britain. The quality of some American papers is extremely high and their views are quoted all over the world. Distinguished dailies like the Washington Post or the New York Times have a powerful influence all over the country. However the Post and the Times are not national newspapers in the sense that The times is in Britain or Le Monde is in France, since each American city has its own daily newspaper. The best of these present detailed accounts of national and international news, but many tend to limit themselves to state or city news.Like the press in most other countries, American newspapers range from the “sensational”, which feature crime, sex and rumor, to the serious,which focus on factual news and the analysis of world events. But with few exceptions American newspapers try to entertain as well as give information, for they have to compete with television.Just as American newspapers give way to all tastes, so do they also try and apply to readers for all political persuasions. A few newspapers support extremist (过激分子) groups on the far right and on the far left, but most daily newspapers attempt to attract middle-of-the-road Americans who are essentially moderate. Many of these papers print columns by well-known journalists of different political and social views in order to present a balanced picture.As in other democratic countries American newspapers can be either responsible or irresponsible, but it is generally accepted that the American press serves its country well and that it has more than once bravely uncovered political scandals (丑闻) or crimes, for instance, the Watergate Affair. The newspapers drew the attention of the public to the fears of the Vietnam War.36. There are fewer national newspapers in ______.A. Britain than in the U.S.A.B. France than in BritainC. the U.S.A. than in Britain or FranceD. France than in the U.S.A. or Britain37. Most American newspapers try to entertain their readers because______.A. they have to keep up a good relation with themB. they have to compete with televisionC. they have to write about crime, sex and rumorD. they have to give factual news in an interesting way38. Many American newspapers attract readers of different political tendency by ______.A. supporting extremist groups from time to timeB. inviting middle-of-the-road Americans to write articles for themC. avoiding carrying articles about extremistsD. printing articles representing different political viewpoints39. In this passage the underlined word “press” (Para.2) means ______.A. a machine for printingB. the business of printingC. great forceD. newspapers40. The passage is mainly about ______.A. the characteristics of American newspapersB. the development of American newspapersC. the functions of American newspapersD. the merits and shortcomings of American newspapersPart III Cloze (10 points)Directions: There are 10 blanks in the following passage.

In 49 , this fell to 15 percent for paternal grandparents.Mr. Pollet said: “Even in families where there has been divorce, wefound 50 differences. Grandparents on your mother’s side make the extra effort.”41. A. Based B. Relied C. Agreed D. Taken42. A. for B. to C. in D. with43. A. demand B. speculate C. deny D. require44.

UnexpectedPart IV Translate from English to Chinese (20 points)Directions: Read the following passage and translate the 5 parts underlined in the following passage from English into Chinese and write them on the Translation Paper.Scientists find that hard-working people live longer than average men and women. Career women are healthier than housewives. Evidence shows that the jobless are in poorer health than jobholders. (51) Aninvestigation shows that whenever the unemployment rate increases by 1%, the death rate increases by 2%. All this comes down to one point, work is helpful to health.Why is work good for health? It is because work keeps people busy away from loneliness. Researches show that people feel unhappy, worried and lonely when they have nothing to do. Instead, the happiest are those who are busy. (52)Many high achievers who love their careers feel that they are happiest when they are working hard. Work serves as a bridge between man and reality. (53)By work people come into contact with each other. By collective activity they find friendship and warmth. This is helpful to health. The loss of work means the loss of everything. It affects man spiritually and makes him ill.(54 )Besides, work gives one a sense of fulfillment and a sense of achievement. Work makes one feel his value and status in society. When a writer finishes his writing or a doctor successfully operates on a patient ora teacher sees his students grow, they are happy beyond words.(55)From the above we can come to the conclusion that the more you work the happier and healthier you will be. Let us work hard and study hard and live a happy and healthy life.Part V Writing (30 points)For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic: Animals—Pets or Sources of Food and Clothing?

Passage One Americans this year will swallow 15, 000 tons of aspirin, one of the safest and most effective drugs invented by man. As the most popular medicine in the world today, it is an effective pain reliever. Its bad effects are relatively mild, and it is cheap. Although aspirin was first sold by a German company in 1899, it has been around much longer than that. Hippocrates, in ancient Greece, understood the medical value of the leaves and tree bark which today are known to contain salicylates, the chemical in aspirin. During the 19th century there was a great deal of experimentation in Europe with this chemical, and it led to the introduction of aspirin. By 19l5, aspirin tablets(⽚剂) were available in the United States. For millions of people suffering from arthritis, aspirin is the only thing that works. A small quantity of aspirin (two five-grain tablets) relieves pain and inflammation. It also reduces fever by interfering with some of the body's reactions. Aspirin, in short, is truly the 20th-century wonder drug. On the other hand, it is also the second largest suicide drug and is the leading cause of poisoning among children. It has side effects that, although relatively mild, are largely unrecognized among users. Aspirin is very irritating to the stomach lining, and many aspirin takers complain about upset stomach. There is a right way and a wrong way to take aspirin. The best way is to chew the tablets before swallowing them with water, but few people can stand the bitter taste. Some people suggest crushing the tablets in milk or orange juice and drinking that. 16. This article discusses __________. A. the multiple functions of aspirin B. how and why aspirin was invented C. the history and the features of aspirin D. how to take aspirin properly 17. According to the second paragraph, salicylates is __________. A. leaves and tree barks B. the old name of aspirin C. the name of a US company D. a component of aspirin 18. Which symptom can NOT be treated by aspirin?A. feverB. reactionsC. painD. inflammation 19. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the best way to take aspirin is to take it __________. A. with bitter water B. with orange juice C. in tablet form D. in powder form 20. The author of this article seems to be__________. A. against the use of aspirin B. in favour of aspirin C. doubtful about aspirin D. not interested in aspirin Passage Two Dr. Mary Jo Bane is the associate director of the Center for Research on Women. Her recent study found “surprising evidence of the persistence of American commitments to family life”, which cast doubt on some common myths about American family. Myth 1: The American Family is Dying Because of the Soaring Divorce Rate. According to Dr. Bane’s study, the American family is changing, not dying. It is becoming smaller and the divorce rate is high. But Dr. Bane says that despite the high divorce rate, marriage has never been more popular. The majority of divorced people re-marry, but only 2%marry more than twice. Most marriages last a long time, and a large proportion of divorces are from teenage marriages. Depending on the specific situation, there’s often good reason for teenage marriages to break up. Myth 2: Working Mothers are Destroying the Family by Neglecting Their Children. “There’s no evidence that children receive less attention from mothers who work outside the home than from mothers working inside the home,” says Dr. Bane. “You have to divide the time into different categories: simple physical function and educational time or development time when a mother plays with the child. So far we haven’t seen the amount of educational or development time vary much, whether or not the mother works outside the home.” In fact, Dr. Bane finds evidence that working mothers, especially in the middle class, try to compensate for working by setting aside time exclusively for their children. “They probably read more to their children and spend more time in planned activities with them than nonworking mothers do.” says Dr. Bane. 21. Dr. Mary Jo Bane’s study seems to suggest that _________. A. Americans are persistent in career B. Americans are serious with their families C. American families are all breaking up D. American families are perfect as usual 22. It can be inferred that the common myths of American family consider family life to be _________. A. in great danger B. quite wonderful C. changing too fast D. very satisfying 23. According to the article, which of the following is true about marriage and divorce? A. Divorced people never consider a second marriage. B. Teenage couples often divorce out of no reason. C. Less and less people plan to get married. D. Very few people have a third or fourth marriage. 24. For the children whose mothers go out to work, __________. A. it is better to have mothers at home B. almost no attention is paid to them C. no less attention is paid to themp b d s f i d = " 1 8 9 " > 0 0 D . a l o t o f t i m e i s s p e n t p l a y i n g g a m e s / p > p b d s f i d = " 1 9 0 " > 0 0 2 5 .

Conversation in our house is better now，not because I'm talking more．I’m just listening better and becoming less and less surprised that I like what I hear．(本题12分)1(单选题)According to the passage，the author is most likely a __________ ．(本题3分)A driverB teacherC doctorD Journalist标准答案： D2(单选题)What does the wif e mean by asking “Did you even hear what I just said? ”in Paragraph 1 ?(本题3分)A Yon should listen to me．B You didn’t want to talk with me．C You should tell me what I said just now．D You didn’t have to nod while you were listening．标准答案： A3(单选题) What is true of the author after the surgery?(本题3分)A He was required to keep silent for the first few monthsB He was worried about his recovery after the surgery．C He was unable to communicate with his son．D He was unwilling to talk to his wife．标准答案： C4(单选题)What did the author realize after the surgery?(本题3分)A His wife was a talkative woman．B His house was full of pleasant talks．C His son didn’t like talking．D His dog liked pleasant birdsongs．标准答案： B23(阅读理解题)根据材料回答问题：Passage TwoCoconut(椰子)is an unusual food for many reasons．It is one of the largest edible seeds produced by any plant．Its unusual contents also make it unique in the seed world—it consists of both “meat“ and “water” inside．The coconut meat is the white substance with which we are all familiar，as it is used extensively for cooking and flavorings；the coconut water isa white and sweet liquid．Portuguese(葡萄牙的)explorers gave the nut its name in the l5th century, referring to it as coco，meaning “ghost” in their language．The outside appearance of coconuts reminded them of a ghost’s face，and the tree has had that name ever since．The coconut has varied uses．It is used to make various cooking oils for fast food restaurants around the world to make diet materials．The coconut fluid is a favorite drink in hot climates，providing a cool and refreshing beverage right off the tree．This water is also used by manufacturers of various sports drinks．Even the shell itself has many uses，including animal food and fertilizer．And all these are only some of the uses found for the coconut fruit．The coconut tree， which produces the nut，also produces many useful things．It’s no wonder that the coconut tree has been taken as “the tree of life”．(本题12分)1(单选题)What does the underlined word“edible’in Paragraph 1 mean?(本题3分)A Visible．B Collectible．C AvailableD Eatable．标准答案： D2(单选题)The coconut got its name becauseof __________ ．(本题3分)A its hard shellB its white colorC its ghostlike appearanceD its round shape标准答案： C3(单选题)What is the passage mainly about?(本题3分)A The history of coconut．B Uses of coconut．C The discovery of coconut．D Types of coconut seeds标准答案： B4(单选题)What can be learned from the passage?(本题3分)A Coconut trees are useful plants．B Coconut oil is rare and expensive．C Coconut trunks are houses for birds．D Coconut fluid can become fertilizer．标准答案： A24(阅读理解题)根据材料回答问题：Passage ThreeMost students choose “Homestay” accommodation when they study abroad：others select Homestay even if they are not on a study visit．Stati stics show that it’s a form of accommodation gaining in popularity all the time．But what is Homestay? And what makes it so popular? Homestay means living with a family，or“host family”as we say．There are three ways of doing it：choose to learn English in a language school near to your Homestay location：have your English classes in the house with a member of the family who is a qualified teacher；select not to have classes at all when you visit——a popular choice if you want to do the tourist thing for example．Even in their busy summer period the organizations that arrange the Homestays will always try to place you with the most suitable host family to match your requirements．Placement(安置)organizations think about location，interests，language level，eating requirements，allergies (过敏)and other requests you may have．Though prices vary according to your needs，good quality Homestay accommodation can be relatively economical--andalthough you may be charged an extra amount of money if you want your Homestay in or near the city center．Even if you stay further out，you can expect your journey into the center not to exceed 30 minutes.Not only does Homestay accommodation represent value for money，it also gives you an excellent opportunity to practice English with your host family．This is a very important extra for students who like to speak as much English as possible．But if you plan to learn English，why not have your English classes in your host family．There’s no better way to learn English than this—the perfect combination of learning and accommodation combined withthe cultural experience !(本题12分)1(单选题)Homestay is an ideal choice for studentswho __________ .(本题3分)A plan to visit relativesB want to stay at homeC plan to study overseasD want to learn statistics标准答案： C2(单选题)Who will consider students’requirements before their Homestay starts?(本题3分)A The English teacher．B The placement organization.C The host family．D The language school.标准答案： B3(单选题)Which of the following is a key factor affecting the price of Homestay?(本题3分)A Nationality of the host family．B Eating habits of the host family.C Students’language level．D Students’specific needs.标准答案： D4(单选题)What can be inferred from the passage?(本题3分)A The author is in favor of Homestay accommodation．B The author is doubtful about the safety of Homestay．C The author finds Homestay arrangement complicated．D The author finds Homestay accommodation expensive．标准答案： A25(阅读理解题)根据下面材料回答问题：Passage FourUsing 1ess energy around the home is easier than you might think，saving you money while creating a heathier，more comfortable living space for you and your family． Changing a few old habits can make an impact on your energy bill， your comfort and the environment. Here are some handy tips to make your house more energy-efficient.Lower the heatIf your home has adjustable central heating，lowering the room temperature even slightly can make a difference． You may not feel it，but your wallet will． It is even more advisable to control temperatures at different times of the day.Hang clothes out to dryIf the weather allows it，head outside and dry your laundry on a clothesline. The sunlight will help eliminate bacteria and dust．While clothes dryers get the job done faster，they also use up energy．By hanging your clothes out you’ll be cutting greenhouse gases by about three kilograms per load．Take advantage of natural lightInstalling large windows on the northern side of your house can help you make use of sunlight’s natural warmth. To stay cool indoors on hot summer days，install blinds(百叶窗) to block the heavy sun．Put your desknear the window，then you don’t need a lamp in the daytime. Wrap(裹)your pipesBe sure your hot—water pipes are properly wrapped．In an average home，heating wateraccounts for more than one—quarter of the energy bill．Why let warmth go to waste before it reaches you?Choose the right size for appliances(家用电器)When the time comes to replace appliances，select those that are both energy—efficient and of the appropriate size for your needs．Don’t buy bigger ones just because you can．(本题12分)1(单选题)What benefit may using less energy at home bring about?(本题3分)A Having a healthier living environment．B Improving your work efficiency．C Keeping old habits unchanged．D Enlarging your living space．标准答案： A2(单选题)Which of the following is one of the advantages of hanging clothes out to dry?(本题3分)A It may help to build a greenhouse．B It helps remove bacteria in clothes．C It uses half the energy that clothes dryers do．D It gets clothes dry much faster than clothes dryers．标准答案： B3(单选题)What can be installed on the northern side of your house to make better use of natural light? (本题3分)A Blinds．B Curtains．C Windows．D Shades．标准答案： C4(单选题)Besides energy-efficiency，what else should be considered when replacing appliances?(本题3分)A Replacing time．B Reasonable price．C Good quality．D Proper size．标准答案： D26(阅读理解题)根据下面材料回答问题：Passage FiveAs we recently discovered，there is a Stepmother’s Day，though it is not on any official holiday calendar．So，it would be safe to assume that there is a similar day for stepdads，too．Right? Well，it depends on what you read．A Google search brought up posts that say，for example，“It’s on father’sday--father’s day is for fathers，step—fathers and people who are like fathers to you-it’s a day for making father figures feel special．”Further searching found a Stepfather’s Day Facebook page that says，“The unofficial Stepfather’s Day is the fourth Sunday of June．”Unfortunately，as of the publishing of this article，only 30 people have “liked” the page．Considering that studies show 3.3 million men，or 11.1％of U．S．fathers，live with at least one stepchild，that’s only a drop in the ocean．It’s interesting to note that there is a National Grandparents’ Day．President Jimmy Carter signed it into law in 1978．Law! While grandparents are undoubtedly special people in our children’s lives，they are often seen as the most loving family members．But what about the stepparents? The stepparents are the ones who are often the outsiders，the ones who have to endure the hurtful “You’re not my dad!” or “You’re not my mom!” A nd yet they never give up.They do their best to overcome the inherent challenges of stepparents and be role models for their stepchildren．These unsung(未被颂扬的)family heroes deserve “official” days ofhonor．Perhaps if we are loud enough，President Obama，who had a stepfather himself，will sign into law National Stepmother’s Day and National Stepfather’s Day．Are you with me? Follow me and get your voice heard．How cool it would be if we could make this happen!(本题12分)1(单选题)What does the underlined word“that’’in Paragraph 1 refer to?(本题3分)A Father figures who are equally honored in the U．S．B 30 people who support Stepfather’s Day on the Facebook page．C 3.3 million men who live with at least one stepchild in the world．D 11.1％of U．S．fathers who live with at least one stepchild in the U．S．标准答案： B2(单选题)What did President Jimmy Carter sign into law in 1978 ?(本题3分)A The National Grandparents’Day．B The National Grandchildren’s Day．C The National Stepparents’Day．D The Nati onal Stepchildren’s Day．标准答案： A3(单选题)Which of the following is closest in meaning to the word“inherent”in paragraph 2 ?．(本题3分)A Unbelievable．B ToughC Lasting.D Inevitable．标准答案： D4(单选题)What is the reason for setting an official holiday for stepparents?(本题3分)A Because they love their role as stepparents．B Because they are often treated as heroes in the family．C Because they deserve respect and honor as family members．D Because they are often seen as the most loving family members。

Comprehension(60points)Directions:There are five reading passages in this part.Each passage is followed by fourquestions.For each question there are four suggested answers marked A,B,C and D.Chooseone best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage oneI talk to strangers for a living and love the challenge of getting their stories published in newspapers.I've been married for years，but until six months ago，I could be a typical absent—minded husband.Often l was just nodding when l was supposed to.When my wife asked，“Did you even hear what I just said?”1would defensively say，“of course I did!”In January，I began to lose my voice.Doctors told me I needed surgery，or my throat would be permanently damaged.Total silence would be required for the first few weeks of my recovery.Two hours after the surgery，my eyes filled with tears as my two-year-old son looked puzzled because l wouldn’t answer his questions.I wanted to talk but couldn’t.Luckily，I'd recorded myself reading some of his favorite books.That would come in handy the next couple of weeks.It had never left.I'd just stopped noticing.I found myself understanding her better on topics I'd previously dismissed as“things I just don’t get as a guy”.I also realized my son wasn’t just talking nonstop but that he often had thoughtful things to say.Even while walking my dog in the woods near our home，I began hearing pleasant patterns in birdsongs.Before my surgery，I'd have spent those walks on my phone.After several weeks，I was fully recovered.Conversation in our house is better now，not because I'm talking more.I’m just listening better and becoming less and less surprised that I like what I hear.第36题单选According to the passage，the author is most likely a__________.A.driverB.teacherC.doctorD.Journalist参考答案：D第37题单选What does the wife mean by asking“Did you even hear what I just said?”in Paragraph1?A.Yon should listen to me.B.You didn’t want to talk with me.C.You should tell me what I said just now.D.You didn’t have to nod while you were listening.参考答案：A第38题单选What is true of the author after the surgery?A.He was required to keep silent for the first few monthsB.He was worried about his recovery after the surgery.C.He was unable to communicate with his son.D.He was unwilling to talk to his wife.参考答案：C第39题单选What did the author realize after the surgery?A.His wife was a talkative woman.B.His house was full of pleasant talks.C.His son didn’t like talking.D.His dog liked pleasant birdsongs.参考答案：BPassage TwoCoconut(椰子)is an unusual food for many reasons.It is one of the largest edible seeds produced by any plant.Its unusual contents also make it unique in the seed world —it consists of both“meat“and“water”inside.The coconut meat is the white substance with which we are all familiar，as it is used extensively for cooking and flavorings;the coconut water is a white and sweet liquid.Portuguese(葡萄牙的)explorers gave the nut its name in the l5th century,referring to it as coco，meaning“ghost”in their language.The outside appearance of coconuts reminded them of a ghost’s face，and the tree has had that name ever since.The coconut has varied uses.It is used to make various cooking oils for fast food restaurants around the world to make diet materials.The coconut fluid is a favorite drink in hot climates，providing a cool and refreshing beverage right off the tree.This water is also used by manufacturers of various sports drinks.Even the shell itself has many uses，including animal food and fertilizer.And all these are only some of the uses found for the coconut fruit.The coconut tree，which produces the nut，also produces many useful things.It’s no wonder that the coconut tree has been taken as“the tree of life”.第40题单选What does the underlined word“edible’in Paragraph1mean?A.Visible.B.Collectible.C.AvailableD.Eatable.参考答案：D第41题单选The coconut got its name because of__________.A.its hard shellB.its white colorC.its ghostlike appearanceD.its round shape参考答案：C第42题单选What is the passage mainly about?A.The history of coconut.es of coconut.C.The discovery of coconut.D.Types of coconut seeds参考答案：B第43题单选What can be learned from the passage?A.Coconut trees are useful plants.B.Coconut oil is rare and expensive.C.Coconut trunks are houses for birds.D.Coconut fluid can become fertilizer.参考答案：APassage ThreeMost students choose“Homestay”accommodation when they study abroad：others select Homestay even if they are not on a study visit.Statistics show that it’s a form of accommodation gaining in popularity all the time.But what is Homestay?And what makes it so popular?Homestay means living with a family，or“host family”as we say.There are three ways of doing it：choose to learn English in a language school near to your Homestay location：have your English classes in the house with a member of the family who is a qualified teacher;select not to have classes at all when you visit——a popular choice if you want to do the tourist thing for example.Even in their busy summer period the organizations that arrange the Homestays will always try to place you with the most suitable host family to match your requirements.Placement(安置)organizations think about location，interests，language level，eating requirements，allergies(过敏)and other requests you may have.Though prices vary according to your needs，good quality Homestay accommodation can be relatively economical--and although you may be charged an extra amount of money if you want your Homestay in or near the city center.Even if you stay further out，you can expect your journey into the center not to exceed30minutes.Not only does Homestay accommodation represent value for money，it also gives you an excellent opportunity to practice English with your host family.This is a very important extra for students who like to speak as much English as possible.But if you plan to learn English，why not have your English classes in your host family.There’s no better way to learn English than this—the perfect combination of learning and accommodation combined with the cultural experience!第44题单选Homestay is an ideal choice for students who__________.A.plan to visit relativesB.want to stay at homeC.plan to study overseasD.want to learn statistics参考答案：C第45题单选Who will consider students’requirements before their Homestay starts?A.The English teacher.B.The placement organization.C.The host family.D.The language school.参考答案：B第46题单选Which of the following is a key factor affecting the price of Homestay?A.Nationality of the host family.B.Eating habits of the host family.C.Students’language level.D.Students’specific needs.参考答案：D第47题单选What can be inferred from the passage?A.The author is in favor of Homestay accommodation.B.The author is doubtful about the safety of Homestay.C.The author finds Homestay arrangement complicated.D.The author finds Homestay accommodation expensive.参考答案：APassage FourUsing1ess energy around the home is easier than you might think，saving you money while creating a heathier，more comfortable living space for you and your family. Changing a few old habits can make an impact on your energy bill，your comfort and the environment.Here are some handy tips to make your house more energy-efficient.Lower the heatIf your home has adjustable central heating，lowering the room temperature even slightly can make a difference.You may not feel it，but your wallet will.It is even more advisable to control temperatures at different times of the day.Hang clothes out to dryIf the weather allows it，head outside and dry your laundry on a clothesline.The sunlight will help eliminate bacteria and dust.While clothes dryers get the job done faster，they also use up energy.By hanging your clothes out you’ll be cutting greenhouse gases by about three kilograms per load.Take advantage of natural lightInstalling large windows on the northern side of your house can help you make use of sunlight’s natural warmth.To stay cool indoors on hot summer days，install blinds(百叶窗)to block the heavy sun.Put your desk near the window，then you don’t need a lamp in the daytime.Wrap(裹)your pipesBe sure your hot—water pipes are properly wrapped.In an average home，heating wateraccounts for more than one—quarter of the energy bill.Why let warmth go to waste before it reaches you?Choose the right size for appliances(家用电器)When the time comes to replace appliances，select those that are both energy —efficient and of the appropriate size for your needs.Don’t buy bigger ones just because you can.第48题单选What benefit may using less energy at home bring about?A.Having a healthier living environment.B.Improving your work efficiency.C.Keeping old habits unchanged.D.Enlarging your living space.参考答案：A第49题单选Which of the following is one of the advantages of hanging clothes out to dry?A.It may help to build a greenhouse.B.It helps remove bacteria in clothes.C.It uses half the energy that clothes dryers do.D.It gets clothes dry much faster than clothes dryers.参考答案：B第50题单选What can be installed on the northern side of your house to make better use of natural light?A.Blinds.B.Curtains.C.Windows.D.Shades.参考答案：C第51题单选Besides energy-efficiency，what else should be considered when replacing appliances?A.Replacing time.B.Reasonable price.C.Good quality.D.Proper size.参考答案：DPassage FiveAs we recently discovered，there is a Stepmother’s Day，though it is not on any official holiday calendar.So，it would be safe to assume that there is a similar day for stepdads，too.Right?Well，it depends on what you read.A Google search brought up posts that say，for example，“It’s on father’s day--father’s day is for fathers，step—fathers and people who are like fathers to you-it’s a day for making father figures feel special.”Further searching found a Stepfather’s Day Facebook page that says，“The unofficial Stepfather’s Day is the fourth Sunday of June.”Unfortunately，as of the publishing of this article，only30people have“liked”the page.Considering that studies show3.3million men，or11.1%of U.S.fathers，live with at least one stepchild，that’s only a drop in the ocean.It’s interesting to note that there is a National Grandparents’Day.President Jimmy Carter signed it into law w!While grandparents are undoubtedly special people in our children’s lives，they are often seen as the most loving familymembers.But what about the stepparents?The stepparents are the ones who are often the outsiders，the ones who have to endure the hurtful“You’re not my dad!”or“You’re not my mom!”And yet they never give up.They do their best to overcome the inherent challenges of stepparents and be role models for their stepchildren.These unsung(未被颂扬的)family heroes deserve “official”days of honor.Perhaps if we are loud enough，President Obama，who had a stepfather himself，will sign into law National Stepmother’s Day and National Stepfather’s Day.Are you with me?Follow me and get your voice heard.How cool it would be if we could make this happen!第52题单选What does the underlined word“that’’in Paragraph1refer to?A.Father figures who are equally honored in the U.S.B.30people who support Stepfather’s Day on the Facebook page.C.3.3million men who live with at least one stepchild in the world.D.11.1%of U.S.fathers who live with at least one stepchild in the U.S.参考答案：B第53题单选What did President Jimmy Carter sign into law in1978?A.The National Grandparents’Day.B.The National Grandchildren’s Day.C.The National Stepparents’Day.D.The National Stepchildren’s Day.参考答案：A第54题单选Which of the following is closest in meaning to the word“inherent”in paragraph2?.A.Unbelievable.B.Toughsting.D.Inevitable.参考答案：D第55题单选What is the reason for setting an official holiday for stepparents?A.Because they love their role as stepparents.B.Because they are often treated as heroes in the family.C.Because they deserve respect and honor as family members.D.Because they are often seen as the most loving family members。

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

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Y ou should decide on the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet. Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage：The casual meal we call a sandwich takes its name form Englishman John Montagu (1718－1972)，the Fourth Earl(伯爵) of Sandwich．It is believed that the earl had his servant bring him meals consisting of meat served between two pieces of bread so that the nobleman could eat at the gaming table．During the Industrial Revolution，the sandwich served as a practical lunch that could be prepared at home and carried to work．In the early 1990s，the sandwich became popular with the introduction of sliced (切片的)bread．(76)Most of America’s beloved regional sandwich Varieties fist appeared in the early part of the 20th century．Here are two kinds of most popular sandwich．A Submarine Sandwich is made on a long loaf of bread that is sliced lengthwise(纵向地) and generously stuffed．The earliest Submarine Sandwiches were filled with layers of Italian sliced meats an cheeses，and then topped with vegetables such as lettuce(生菜)and tomato．The bread was lightly coated with oil．Later varieties include hot oven-baked ＂submarine Sandwich＂came form East Coast shipyard workers．Similar sandwiches are called ＂Grinders＂in New England an ＂Heroes＂in New York．(77)The sandwiches have their origins in Italian-American neighborhoods along the eastern，but are now available all across the United States．The New Orleans Poor Boy was named during a streetcar strike in New Orleans in 1929．Sandwiches made on a small，narrow loaf of French bread with leftovers(剩菜) such as roast beef were given away free to the striking workers，who were sympathetically called ＂those poor boys＂．Soon restaurants and stores all over New Orleans began calling their sandwiches＂Poor Boy＂．Seafood Poor Boys are the most distinguishing variety ．All kinds of seafood were often filled with fried seafood were rich and cheap in New Orleans at the time，and the sandwiches were often filled with fried seafood．You order a New Orleans Poor Boy ＂dressed＂if you want lettuce and tomato or＂undressed＂if you want it plain．1．Which of the following statements about sandwiches is TRUE according to Paragraph 1？A. Sandwiches originated from the period of the Glorious Revolution．B. Sandwiches are formal meals．C. The food＂Sandwich＂is named after the Fourth Earl of Sandwich．D. Sandwiches first appeared in the 17th century．2．When did sandwiches become a kind of popular food?A. At the time of the Englishman John Montagu．B. At the time when sliced bread was introduced on the market．C. At the very beginning of Industrial Revolution．D. In the early part of 19th century．3．According to Paragraph 2，a Submarine Sandwich is ？A．available everywhere in the United StatesB．only sold along the eastern coastC．enjoyed by only Italian-AmericansD．only popular among shipyard workers4．Poor Boy sandwich has its name related with ．A．a shipyard worker strike in New YorkB．a streetcar strike in New OrleansC．restaurants and stores that served seafood sandwichesD．a kind of oven-baked hot bread5．Which of the following is TRUE about Poor Boy sandwiches？A．All Poor Boys are made of seafoodB．All Poor Boys are with lettuce and tomato．C．Poor Boys were first made on a long loaf of bread．D．Seafood Poor Boy is a distinctive variety of it．Passage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage：One of the challenges facing families today is the attraction of computers and video games．Electronic toys are available in children’s toy section．By the time children start school，many are masters of mice．Most parents are aware that time spent Playing violent video games increases more aggressive thoughts in children，teens，and even adults．Many parents worry that playing much violent．A direct link between gaming and actual violence isn’t yet clear，but the evidence suggests that it is likely true．(78)Perhaps more surprisingly，there are also reasons to be concerned about the use of non-violent video games．Several studies have shown that video games take too much study time and interfere with grades and homework performance．In other words，they may do more harm than good．For example，an interesting study reported in the journal Psychological Science(2010)，looked at s group of boys who didn’t own video games．The researchers reviewed the boy’s academic achievement and behaviors；then they randomly(随便地)selected half of this group of boys to receive free video games and waited four months．At that time，they took another look at how the tow groups were doing．(79)Those with the free video games had lower reading and writing scores and more behavior problems．The more they reported having played with the games，the worse their achievement scores came out．Findings like these suggest that even educationally based video games probably should receive thorough testing and validation(确认)before any claims about their helpfulness are made．On the other hand，there’s no question that video games may improve specific motor skills as well as provide good entertainment for kids and adults alike．Thus，we aren’t about to suggest their elimination(除去)form the home．The problem comes about when the games are especially violent or when the time spent in playing games exceeds a certain limit．6．What is the main idea of this passage？A．Violent video games are harmless to children．B．Children should not be permitted to play video games．C．Long-time video games are harmful to children．D．Video games can bring nothing good to children．7．The word ＂aggressive＂in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ．A．inclined to behave in hostile fashionB．bold and optimisticC．fast growingD．tough and selfish8．Many parents have come to realize that ．A．violent video games are directly linked with actual violent actionsB．violent video games increase children’s thoughts of attacking other peopleC．non-violent video games are harmfulD．non-violent video games should be permitted at home9．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to paragraph 2？A．Those who played free video games for four months had better academic achievement．B．The more free video games students played，the better their academic scores came out．C．Playing too much free video games was the reason for students’ bad academic performance．D．It has been proved that makes non-violent video games do not cause poor homework performance．10．What is the factor that makes non-violent video games harmful to children?A．Contents of games．B．Length of time spent on game-playing．C．Quality of games．D．Entertainment levels of games．Passage 3Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage：Hundreds of years ago，the scene was not unusual．Farmers with baskets of fresh yellow peaches，red berries，and green vegetables would set up stands in the village marketplace．(80)Customers would flood into the market to purchase food for the coming week，bargaining and exchanging the news of the day．Now farmers markets are located within the busy streets of New York City．The small park in Manhattan known as Union Square is surrounded by tall office buildings and famous stores．Located on Broadway between East 14th and 17th Streets，Union Square is the year-round site of a farmers market that opens rain or shine four times a week．Customers select with great care among the various kinds of fruits，vegetables，dairy products，meats，and baked goods．Despite the prevalence(流行)of heavily advertised fast foods，many people seek more healthful foods．A number of shoppers，concerned about the environment，like to purchase organic(有机的)foods that are free of pesticides(杀虫剂)．This explains the enormous popularity of the farmers markets，which are sponsored by Greenmarket，a privately funded program of the Council on the Environment of New York City．In addition to the large market at Union Square，there are farmers markets at 48 other sites throughout the New York City area．Some open only at certain times during the year．One of these more popular seasonal sites is at Rockefeller Center，site of NBC studios and Radio City Music Hall．Tourists visiting during the summertime are surprised to see farmers selling produce，honey，and baked goods at the site of the world famous Christmas tree.Besides regular shoppers，the farmers market，in fact，is full of children who are learning what vegetables such as onion bulbs look like when they are pulled fresh from the ground．They are extremely excited to find peaches still attached to leaves．They find potatoes still covered withrich-smelling soil．These city children are learning about healthful food in its most natural state．11．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to Paragraph 1?A．Farmers market in New York disappeared hundreds of years ago．B．Farmers market in New York was an unusual thing hundreds of years ago．C．Farmers marketplaces are near the busy streets of New York．D．Busy streets of New York are where farmers marketplaces are located．12．Why is farmers market popular in Now York？A．Because the farmers marketplaces are surrounded by tall office buildings and famous stores．B．Because the fruits，vegetables and meats in farmers markets are cheaper than those in

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

For this was what the notice just inside the entrance promised. It said: “ Remember,o nce a week, one of our customers gets free goods. This May Be Your Lucky Day! ”For several weeks Mrs. Edwards hoped, like many of her friends, to be the lu cky 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 adv ise her against buying things but failed. She dreamed of the day when the ma nager 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 h er car, she found that she had forgotten to buy any tea. She dashed back to t he 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, “ Iwant to congratulate you! You are our lucky customer and everything you have in your basket is free! ”61.

Mrs. Edwards must have been ___D_____.A. pleasedB. delightedC. proudD. disappointed PassageTwoDeep inside a mountain near Sweetwater in East. Tennessee is a body of water known as the Lost Sea. It is listed by the Guinness Book of Would Records as the world ’largest underground lake. The Lost Sea is part of an extensive and historic cave system called Craighead Caverns.The caverns have been known and used since the days of the Cherokee Indian nation. The cave expands into a series of huge rooms from a small opening on the side of the mountain. Approximately one mile from the entrance, in a r oom called “ TheCouncil Room,” many Indian artisfacts have been found. Som e of the items discovered include pottery, arrowheads, weapons, and jewelry. For many years there were persistent rumors of a large underground lake some where in a cave, but it was not discovered until 1905. In that year, a thirteen-year-old boy named Ben Sands crawled through a small opening three hundredfeet underground. He found himself in a large cave half filled with water. Today tourists visit the Lost Sea and ride far out onto it in glass-bottomed bo ats powered by electric motors. More than thirteen acres of water have been mapped out so far and still no end to the lake has been found. Even though teams of divers have tried to explore the Lost Sea, the full extent of it is still unknown.66.The Lost Sea is unique because it is ___B_____.A.part of a historical cave systemB.the biggest underground lake in the worldC.listed in the Guinness Book of World RecordsD.the largest body of water in Tennessee67.The Craighead Caverns have been known ____B____.A. through historyB. since the time of the Indian nationsC. since 1905D. since divers explored them 68.

Many old Indian objects.70.It can be inferred from the passagethat the Craighead Caverns presentlyserve as ___C____.A. an underground testing siteB. an Indian meeting groundC. a tourist attractionD. a motor boat race course PassageThreeGenerations of Americans have been brought up to believe that a good breakfa st is one life’e s sentials. 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. Betwe en 1977 and 1983, the latest year for which figures are available, the numberof people who didn ’havet breakfast, increased by 33 percent.For those who feel pain of guilt about not eating breakfast, however, there issome good news. Several studies in the last few years indicate that, for adults especially, there may be nothing wrong with omitting breakfast. “ Goingwitho ut breakfast does not affect performance, ”said Arrold E. Bender, former profes sor of the nutrition at Queen Elizabeth College in London, “ nordoes giving people breakfast improve performance. Scientific evidence linking breakfast to rprisingly inadequate, and most of the ”better health or better performance is su recent work involves children, not adults,“ Theliterature says”, one researcher, Dr. Erresto at the University of Texas, “ ispoor ”.71.The latest year for which figures could be obtained is ___D____.A.the year the author wrote the articleB.1977C.any year between 1997 and 1983D.198372.For those who do not take breakfast, the good news is that ___B____.A.several studies have been done in the past few yearsB.the omission of breakfast does no harm to one’ shealthC.adults have especially made studies in this fieldD.eating little in the morning is good for health73.“⋯ nordoes giving people breakfast improve performance ”means ___C___.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 performance74.The word “ literature in ”the last sentence refers to ___B____.A. stories, poems, plays, etc.B. written works on a particular subjectC. anyprinted material D. the modern literature of America75.What is implied but NOT stated by the author is that ___C____.A.breakfast does not affect performanceB.Dr. Erresto is engaged in research work at an institution of higherlearningC.not eating breakfast might affect the health of childrenD.Professor Bender once taught college courses in nutrition in London PassageFourAbout 35% of all high school graduates in America continue their education in an institution of higher learning. The word college is used to refer to either a college or a university. These institutions offer four-year programs that lead to a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) or Bachelor Science (B.S.) degree. Some students attend a junior college (providing only a two-year program) for one to two ye ars before entering a four-year college as a sophomore (二年级生 ) or junior(三年级生 ).It is generally easier to be accepted at a state university than at a private one. Most private schools require strict entrance examinations and a high grade poi nt average (GPA), as well as specific college prep classes in high school. Priv ate schools cost considerably more than state colleges and famous private schools are very expensive. Poorer students can sometimes attend, however, by ear ning scholarships. Some college graduates go on to earn advanced masters or doctoral degrees in grad (graduate) school. Occupations in certain fields such a s law or medicine require such advanced studies.Since college costs are very high, most students work at part-time jobs. Some have full-time jobs and go to school part-time. Often some will take five or m ore years to complete a four-year program because of money / job demands o n their time.While the college and work demands take up the great part of a student ’timse, most still enjoy social activities. Sports, dances, clubs, movies, and plays are all very popular. However, gathering together for long, philosophical talks ata favorite meeting place on or near the university is probably the most popular activity.76. College education is ___A____ in America.A. quite commonB. very rareC. something difficultD. almost impossible77.Which of the following is NOT required for entering most private schools.___B____.A. entrance examinationsB. taking part in many activitiesC.GPA D. college prep classes78.How can poor students attend private schools? ___D____.A.Only by working at part-time jobs.B.Only by working at full-time jobs.C.Only by earning scholarships.D.All of above.79. The American college students like to ___A____ most of all.A.discuss problems on philosophyB.play ballsC.earn enough moneyD.go to the cinemas or theatres80. The best title for this passage is ___B____.A. Part-time jobsB. American collegeC. Popular activityD. A new systemⅤ. Writing (20 points)Directions:For this part, you are allowed 20 minutes to write a composition of about 80 words according to the following topic.金钱是全部吗 ? (Is Money Everything?)Ⅴ. WritingIs Money Everything?I don’t hink money is everything, but we can’dot without it. Fox example, money can’buyt us happiness and a good education.

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