For each of them there are four suggested answers marked A,B,C,D. Choose the best answer to each question. (15%)(1)An Englishman came to Tokyo with a contract that gave him two weeks paid holiday a year. He took the first. The second, he was warned in a none-too-subtle way, would incur the company's displeasure.He doggedly persisted with travel plans, On the eve of his planned departure he found his desk piled high with extra work-- a suggestion from management he should stay and work.August may be holiday time in the Western capitals of the world, but while London, Rome and New York are abandoned to tourists, in Tokyo it is business almost as usual.Not only do Japanese companies give their staff fewer paid holidays that those in other developed countries, most Japanese do not even take off all the daysthey are allowed.The three or four week holidays common in Europe and North America remain a distant prospect for most Japanese workers, who regard the "workaholic" nickname they were given a decade ago by an irate European Community official with mixed pride and frustration.1. Which statement is true according to the passage? dA. When an Englishman came to Tokyo to work, he took his holiday first.B. When an Englishman was employed by a Tokyo company, the first thing for him to do was to go on a holiday.C. When an Englishman was given a two-week holiday by his Japanese employer, it would be advisable for him to take half as much.D. No sooner had an English employee come to Tokyo than he enjoyed a two-week holiday given by his employer.2. It can be concluded that aA. the average Japanese is more obsessed withwork than his counterparts in other developed nations.B. JAPANESE workers are least reluctant to take holidays.C. JAPANESE employees are most eager to please their bosses.D. There are so many people competing for jobs in Japan.3. How do JAPANESE workers react to the epithet given? bA. They feel insulted.B. They are overwhelmed with conflicting feelings.C. They think they deserve to be called work freaks.D. They become furious.4. Which of the following statements is NOT true? aA. Rome is swarming with tourists in August.B. Europeans on the whole won't deny themselves the pleasure of enjoying paid holidays.C. An European employee in Japan might be hindered from going on a long holiday.D. Self--discipline and loyalty make the Japanese heat- resistant.5. This passage may lead us to infer that bA. more marriages will break up in Japan because husbands are spending all their time and energy working.B. a tradition of hard work and loyalty to the group fostered by Japanese companies, is partly responsible for the reluctance to take holidays .C. Japanese workers enjoy the challenge, the excitement and the opportunity for growth that their work provides.D. they are not actually working for the steak. It's the sizzle that fascinates them.(2)A mule which will gallop for a half-mile in the single direction elected by its rider even one time becomes a neighbourhood legend; one that will do it consistently time after time is an incredible phenomenon. Because, unlike a horse, a mule is far too intelligent to break its heart for glory running around the rim of a mile-long saucer... A creature capable of but one idea at a time, the horse's strongest quality is timidity and fear. He can be tricked and cajoled by a child into breaking his limbs or his heart too in running too far, too fast, or jumping things too wide or hard of high; he will eathimself to death if not guarded like a baby. If he had only one gram of the intelligence of the most backward rat, he would be the rider. You can make the mule work for you, but that only within his own rigid self-set regulations. He will not permit himself to run too much. He will draw a wagon or a plough, but he will not run a race. He will not try to jump anything he does not indubitably know beforehand; he will not enter any place unless he knows of his own knowledge what is on the other side; he will work for you patiently for ten years for the chance to kick you once.6. With respect to eating habits, horsesA. prefer baby food.B. will eat almost anything.C. can easily starve to death.D. don't know when to stop eating.7. The author of this passage is beingA. humorousB. moralisticC. matter-of-factD. romantic8. Rats, according to the author,A. have brains weighing one gram.B. are not as intelligent as mules.C. are more intelligent than horses.D. are backward and stubborn.9. Mules are not used for racing because most of themA. cannot run fast enough.B. refuse to do it.C. won't run unless they're sure of winning .D. won't do it more that once.10. A mule will work for you as long asA. you give him enough to eat.B. he wants to anyway.C. you work for him in exchange.D. you are very firm with him.(3)I will now teach, offering my way of life to whomsoever desires to commit suicide by the scheme which has enabled me to beat the doctor and the hangman for seventy years. Some of the details may sound untrue, but they are not. I am not here to deceive; I am here to teach.We have no permanent habits until we are forty. Then they begin to harden, presently they petrify, then business begins. Since forty I have been regular about going to bed and getting up-- and that is one of the main things. I have made it a rule to go to bed when I had to. This has resulted in an unswerving regularity of irregularity. It has saved me sound, but it would injure another person.In the matter of diet -- which is another main thing-- I have been persistently strict in sticking to the things which didn't agree with me until one or the other of us got the best of it. Until lately I got the best of it myself. But last spring I stopped frolicking with mince pie after midnight, up to then I had always believed it wasn't loaded. For thirty years I have taken coffee and bread at eight in the morning, and no bite nor sup until seven-thirty in the evening, eleven hours. That is all right for me, and is wholesome, because I have never had a headache in my life, but headachy people would not reach seventy comfortably by that road, and they would be foolish to try it. And If wish to urge upon you this, which I think is wisdom- that if you find you can't makeseventy by any but an uncomfortable road, don't you go. When they take off the Pullman and retire you to the rancid smoker, put on your things, count your checks and get out at the first way station where there's a cemetery.I have made it a rule never to smoke more than one cigar at a time. I have no other restriction as regards smoking. I do not know just when I began to smoke, I only know that it was in my father's lifetime, and that I was discreet. He passed from this life early in 1847, when I was a shade past eleven; ever since then I have smoked publicly. As an example to others, and not that I care for moderation myself, it has always been my rule never to smoke when asleep, and never to refrain when awake. It is a good rule. I mean, for me; but some of you know quite well that it wouldn't answer for everybody that's trying to get to be seventy.I smoke in bed until I have to go to sleep; I wake up in the night, sometimes once, sometimes twice, sometimes three times, and I never waste any of these opportunities to smoke. This habit is so old and dear and precious to me that I would feel as you sir, would feel if you should lose the only moral you've got--meaning thechairman-- if you've hot one; I am making no charges. I will grant, here, that I have stopped smoking now and then, for a few months at a time, but it was not on principle. It was only to show off; it was to pulverise those critics who said I was a slave to my habits and couldn't break my bonds.11. The author's tone in this passage isA. solemn.B. gay.C. ironic.D. blasphemous.12. The best title for this passage would beA. How to Get to Seventy.B. How to Tell a Funny Story.C. Smoking and Ageing.D. My Funny Life.13. The author's age is probablyA. 70B. 40C. mysteriousD. 5514. This passage was most likely writtenA. in 18th century America.B. in 20th century America.C. in 19th century America.D. between 1950 and 1979.15. Although the author says," I am here to teach," his purpose is reallyA. to deceive.B. to joke.C. to persuade.D. to smoke.Ⅶ. There are 10 blanks in the following passage taken from the text we’ve learned. Fill in the blanks with suitable words: (10%)Most of Morocco is so desolate that no wild animalit. Huge areaswere once covered with forest have turnedof it is cultivated, with frightful labor.

The package is divided into two buckets—base salary and bonus.The bonusis tied to graduation rates,affordability,student achievement, philanthropic support,faculty excellence,and strategic program initiatives.In establishing this bonus system,Daniels married traditional notions of academic quality—as measured by excellence in faculty,programs and resources—with an equal emphasis on effective outcomes and price controls:graduation rates,affordability,and student achievement.(6)In so doing,Daniels has demonstrated his belief that there is common ground to be found between the university and government.The choice is not quality or effectiveness,not excellence or affordability;the future of higher education is not a zero-sum game in which one side wins and the other loses.Rather,he believes it is possible to balance the seemingly conflicting goals of government and higher education.—(7) Daniels is not the first president to have his salary tied to achieving institutional goals, but he is probably the most visible. Moreover, although Daniels is renouncing involvement in partisan politics as he enters the Purdue presidency, he is a former Republican governor and party leader known as a frugal fiscal conservative. Historically, the divisions have been greater between Republicans and the academy than has been the case withDemocrats. In a very real sense, what Daniels has chosen to do is somewhat akin to Nixon going to China. He has undertaken an experiment to be closely watched. If successful, he will have established a potential model for the country.(8) Typically, presidents reserve such powerful statements for theirinaugural addresses. Though such addresses are sincere in intent —I can vouch for that, as someone who has given two and listened to many more they are generally aspirational; they articulate hopes and dreams for what aninstitution can become. Daniels has already done something very different. He is putting himself on the line in a very public fashion. Year after year his salary will be determined by his success. And perhaps even moreimportantly, his success or failure will be public when his board announces the size and rationale for his bonus.(9) It’s a bold step —and Governor Daniels should be applauded for taking it.II.

东 北 大 学秦 皇 岛 分 校课程名称： 高 级 英 语 试卷： A 考试形式： 闭 卷授课专业： 考试日期： 试卷：共 7 页I. Reading Comprehension (20*1%=20%).Requirements: You ’re required to read Passage 1~3 in depth and skim & scan Passage 4~6 and answer questions on your answer sheet. Passage 1I was born in Tuckahoe, Talbot Country, Maryland. I have no accurate knowledge of my age, never having seen any authentic record containing it. By far the larger part of the slaves knows as little of their age as horses know of theirs, and it is the wish of most masters within my knowledge to keep their slaves thus ignorant. I do not remember having ever met a slave who could tell of his birthday. They seldom come nearer to it than planting-time, harvesting, springtime, or falltime. A lack of information concerning my own was a source of unhappiness to me even during childhood. The white children could tell their ages, I could not tell why I ought to be deprived of the same privilege. I was not allowed to make any inquires of my master concerning it. He considered all such inquires on the part of a slave improper and impertinent. The nearest estimate I can give makes me now between twenty-seven and twenty-eight years of age. I come to this, from hearing my master say, some time during 1835, I was about seventeen years old. My mother was named Harriet Bailey. She was the daughter of Isaac and Betsey Bailey, both colored, and quite dark.My mother was of a darker complexion than either my grandmother or grandfather.My father was a white man. The opinion was also whispered that my master was my father; but of the correctness of this opinion, I know nothing; the means of knowing was withheld from me. My mother and I were separated when I was but an infant-before I knew her as my mother. It is a common custom, in the part of Maryland from which I ran away, to part children from their mothers at a veryearly age. Frequently, before the child has reached its twelfth month, its mother is taken from it, and hired out on some farm a considerable distance off, and the child is placed under the care of an older woman, too old for field labor. For what this separation is done, I do not know, unless it was to hinder the development of the child's affection towards its mother.1. The author did not know exactly when he was born because ______ A. he did not know who his mother was. B. there was no written evidence of it. C. his master did not tell his father.D. nobody on his farm knew anything about it. 2. In the mid-nineteenth century, slaves often ______ A. marked their birthdays by the season. B. did not really care how old they were.C. forgot the exact time when they were born.D. pretended not to know each other's birthdays. 3. The author ’s mother told him ______ A. his father was black. B. his father was white. C. nothing about his father. D. his master was his father.4. According the passage, when the author was very young his mother ______ A. ran away.B. was light-skinnedC. had several children.D. was sent to work elsewhere.5. The author had not spent much time with his ______ A. mother. B. master. C. grandfather. D. grandmother.6. The author was most probably raised ______ A. by his grandparents. B. by an old woman slave. C. with his master ’s support. D. together with other children.装订线装 订 线 内 不 要 答 题学 号姓 名班 级Passage 2When Franklin D. Roosevelt was elected President of the United States in 1932, not only the United States but also the rest of the world was in the throes of an economic depression. Following the termination of World War I, Britain and the United States at first experienced a boom in industry. Called the Roaring Twenties, the 1920s ushered in a number of things -- prosperity, greater equality for women in the work world, rising consumption, and easy credit. The outlook for American business was rosy.October 1929 was a month that had catastrophic economic reverberations worldwide. The American stock market witnessed the ―Great Crash‖, as it is called, and the temporary boom in the American economy came to a standstill. Stock prices sank, and panic spread. The ensuing unemployment figure soared to 12 million by 1932.Germany in the postwar years suffered from burdensome compensation it was obliged to pay to the Allies. The country's industrial capacity had been greatly diminished by the war. Inflation, political instability, and high unemployment were factors helpful to the growth of the initial Nazi party. Germans had lost confidence in their old leaders and heralded the arrival of a messiah-like figure who would lead them out of their economic wilderness. Hitler promised jobs and, once elected, kept his promise by providing employment in the party, in the newly expanded army, and in munitions factories.Roosevelt was elected because he promised a ―New Deal‖ to lift the United States out of the doldrums of the depression. Following the principles advocated by Keynes, a British economist, Roosevelt collected the spending capacities of the federal government to provide welfare, work, and agricultural aid to the millions of down-and-out Americans. Elected President for four terms because of his innovative policies, Roosevelt succeeded in dragging the nation out of the depression before the outbreak of World War II.7.Which of the following was NOT true at the time Roosevelt was elected?A. Stock prices were recovering slowly.B. The nation was in a deep depression.C. There were 12 million unemployed workers.D. The nation needed help from the federal government.8.The ―Great Crash‖ in the passage refers to _____.A. the end of World War IB. the Great DepressionC. high unemployment figuresD. a slump in the stock market9.We can infer that the author of this passage _____.A. disapproves of Roosevelt's ―New Deal‖B. thinks the Depression could have been avoidedC. blames the Depression on the ―Great Crash‖D. feels there was some similarity between Roosevelt and Hitler10.The best title for the passage is _____.A. The TwentiesB. The Great CrashC. The DepressionD. The End of World War IPassage 3In most sectors of the economy, it is the seller who attempts to attract a potential buyer with various induction of price, quality and utility, and it is the buyer who makes the decision. In the health care industry, however, the doctor-patient relationship is the mirror image of the ordinary relationship between producer and consumer, Once an individual has chosen to see a physician, the physician usually makes all significant purchasing decisions: whether the patient should return ―next Wednesday‖, whether X-rays are needed, whether drugs should be prescribed, etc.This is particularly significant in relation to hospital care. The physician must certify the need for hospitalization, determine what procedures will be performed, and announce when the patient may be discharged. The patient may be consulted about some of these decisions, but in the main it is the doctor’s judgments that are final. Little wonder then that in the eyes of the hospital it is the physician who is the real ―consumer‖. As a consequence, the medical staff represents the ―power-center‖ in hospital policy and decision-making, not the administration.Although usually there are in this situation four identifiable participants, the physician, the hospital, the patient and the prayer (generally an insurance carrier or government), the physician makes the essential decision for all of them. The hospital becomes an extension of the physicians; the payer generally meets most of the bonafide (真正的) bills generated by the physician/hospital and for the most part, the patient plays a passive role. In routine or minor illnesses, or just plain worries, the patient’s options are of course much greater with respect to use and price. But in illnesses that are of some significance, such choice tends to evaporate. And it is for these illnesses that the bulk of the health care dollar is spent. We estimate that about 75-80 percent of health care expenditures are determined by physicians, not patients. For this reason, economy measures directed at patient or thegeneral or the general public are relatively ineffective.11.The author’s primary purpose is to _________.A. criticize doctors for exercising too much control over patientsB. analyze some important economic factors in health careC. urge hospitals to reclaim their decision-making authorityD. inform potential patients of their health care rights12.It can be inferred that doctors are able to determine hospital policiesbecause ________.A. it is doctors who generate income for the hospitalB. most of a patient’s bills are paid by his health insuranceC. hospital administrators lack the expertise to question medical decisionsD. a doctor is ultimately responsible for a patient’s health13.According to the author, when a doctor tells a patient to ―return nextWednesday,‖ the doctor is in fact _________.A. taking advantage of the patient’s concern for his healthB. instructing the patient to buy more medical servicesC. warning the patient that a hospital stay might be necessaryD. advising the patient to seek a second opinion14.The author is most probably leading up to a (n) _________.A. proposal to control medical costsB. discussions of new medical treatmentC. analysis of the causes of inflation in the United StatesD. comparison of hospitals and factories15.The tone of the passage can best be described as _________.A. arbitraryB. faultfindingC. analyticalD. inquisitive Passage 4First read the following questions.

More and more often, it seems, people are engaging hotel accommodations without prior booking, and leaving without settling their accounts.These ―silent departures‖have caused us —and other hotels as well —substantial cash losses. So far, at Grand Cay we’ve been able to absorb these losses without passing their cost on to our guests in the form of increased prices. But we’re approaching our limit.So, in order to prevent further losses of this sort, and to keep our prices as low as possible in this time of inflation, we are asking that — any person desiring overnight accommodation without a prior confirmed booking, please pay in advance the full cost of the accommodation.Only by the introduction of such safeguards can the problem be alleviated. Please understand our position, and know that the service we will provide you will continue to be the best we can humanly offer.Many thanks,Godfrey BillinghamGeneral Manager Passage 6First read the questions.19.According to the notes, for visitors, National Trust properties are not open ____A. on Saturdays.B. on Sundays.C. on Good Fridays.D. on Bank holidays.20.We learn from the notes, reduced rates are given to ____A. the handicapped.B. unescorted children.C. senior citizens.D. pre-arranged groups of visitors.Now go through the text quickly and answer the questions.NOTES FOR VISITORS TO NATIONAL TRUST PROPERTIES1.

Reading comprehension: (15%)TEXT A THE PLEDGEThe old woman glanced for a moment at what he had brought to pawn, but at once stared in the eyes of her uninvited visitor. She looked intently, maliciously and mistrustfully.A minute passed; he even fancied something like a sneer in her eyes, as though she had already guessed everything. He felt that he was losing his head, the he was almost frightened, so frightened that if she were to look like that and not say a word for another half minute, he thought he would have run away from her."Why do you look at me as though you did not know me?" he said suddenly, also with malice. "Take it if you like, if not I'll go elsewhere, I am in a hurry."He had not even thought of saying this, but it was suddenly of itself. The old woman recovered herself, and her visitor's resolute tone evidently restored her confidence."But why, my good sir, all of a minute... What is it?" she asked, looking at the pledge."The silver cigarette case; I spoke of it last time, you know."She held out her hand."But how pale you are, to be sure... and your hands are trembling too? Have you been bathing, or what?""Fever," he answered abruptly. "You can't help getting pale... if you've nothing to eat," he added, with difficulty articulating the words.His strength was failing him again. But his answer sounded like the truth; the old woman took the pledge."What is it?" she asked once more, scanning Raskolnikov intently and weighing the pledge in her hand."A thing... cigarette case...Silver... Lookat it.""It does not seem somehow like silver...How he had wrapped it up!"Try to untie the string and turning to the window, to the light (all her windows were shut, in spite of the stifling heat), she left him altogether for some seconds and stood with her back to him. He unbuttoned his coat and freed the axe from the noose, but did not yet take it out altogether, simply holding it in his right hand under the coat. His hands were fearfully weak, he felt them every moment growing more numb and more wooden. He was afraid he would let the axe slip and fall... A sudden giddiness came over him.1. "... she had already guessed everything" means that the old woman ________A. was sure that he had stolen something.B. was aware that he was sick unto death.C. was sure that he was up to somethingevil.D. knew what he had brought her.2. That Raskolnikov had probably done some careful planning, prior to his commission of a crime is indicated by which of the following statements?A. "She looked intently, maliciously andmistrustfully."B. "Why do you look at me as though youdid not know me?"C. "Have you been bathing, or what?"D. "How he has wrapped it up!"3.

The fact that "all her windows were shut" is probably indicative of ________A. the old woman's poor physicalcondition.B. the old woman's caution.C. Raskolnikov's cunning.D. nothing more than a mere coincidence.5. The mood of the passage is one ofA. thoughtfulnessB. disgustC. nonchalance.D. anxietyTEXT B WIT AND HUMORI am not sure that I can draw an exact line between wit and humor (perhaps the distinction is so subtle that only those persons can decide who have long white beards); but even an ignorant person may express an opinion in this matter.I am quite positive that humor is the more comfortable and lovable quality, for humorous persons, if their gift is genuine and not a mere shine upon the surface, are always agreeable companions. They have pleasant mouths turned up at the corners, to which the greatMaster of Marionettes has fixed the strings and he holds them in his nimblest fingers to twitch them at the slightest jest. But the mouth of a merely witty man is hard and sour. Nor is the flash from a witty man always comforting, but a humorous man radiates a general pleasure.I admire wit, but I have no real liking for it; it has been too often employed against me, whereas humor is always an ally: it never points an impertinent finger into my defects. A wit's tongue, however, is as sharp as a donkey's stick ___ I may gallop the faster for its prodding, but the touch behind is too persuasive for any comfort.Wit is a lean creature with a sharp inquiring nose, whereas humor has a kindly eye and a comfortable girth. Wit has a better voice in a solo, but humor comes into the chorus best.Wit keeps the season's fashions and is precise in the phrases and judgements of the day, but humor is concerned with homelyeternal things.6. The author's attitude toward wit can most accurately be described as _______A. cautious admiration.B. wholehearted amusement.C. tolerant disapprovalD. aversion7. A wit's tongue is like a donkey's stick in that both ______A. consider their victim's feelings.B. are gently persuasiveC. goad their victims.D. are used with definite purpose.8. The author thinks of humor as an ally because it ________A. seldom fails to amuse people.B. is enjoyableC. can be employed against others.D. does not cause discomfort.9. Implied but not stated:A. Humor is always genuine.B. Wit is more nimble that humor.C. Humorous persons have pleasant faces.D.Humor comes by more naturallythan wit.10. The distinction between wit and humor is _______A. of no particular importance.B. solely a matter of opinion.C. subtle.D. exact and important.TEXT C Which is a catalog card in a library and answer question 11.PR2065G31 B81966 Burrow, John Anthony.A Reading of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight by J.

Estimates of costsD. Large or small repairsTEXT EWherever a dramatic author is asked to discuss "the mission of the playwright", there is a great temptation for him to become pretentious. Instead of being just a hardworking writer, he suddenly becomes a man with a mission. For a moment this makes him feel quite important and he begins to think about his mission: to hold up the mirror to nature, to interpret a generation to itself, to question outmoded conventions, to protest, to extol, to criticize--- and so on through the cliches.Ask a hundred playwrights what they see as their mission and you will get a hundred different answers. Playwriting, like any other kind of writing, is a highly personal matter. The dramatist writes out of a personal need to express himself on some facet of his world--- on social abuse, personal morality, the need for love and understanding, loneliness, or whatever. None of these is better than anyother, only different. Nor is the playwright any less worthy who simply sets out to entertain his audience, to amuse it, to make it laugh.The mission of the playwright, then, is to look into his heart and write, to write of whatever concerns him at the moment, to write with passion and conviction. Of course, the measure of the man will be the measure of his plays. A man cannot express more than is in him, though often, to his regret, he expresses less because of almost the inevitable failure to realize his vision fully.Of course, the writer whose heart beats in a too special way, whose interests and concerns are esoteric, will probably not be a good playwright because---to get back to the cliches, as we must---a writer does reflect nature, does interpret his generation to itself; and if he and his concerns are far removed from his generation, an audience will find no recognition in his work and therefore no pleasure, no enlightenment.13. If a playwright neither reflects nature nor interprets his generation to itself, he_________A. may not be understood by his audience.B. will become successful.C. will not write of whatever concerns him.D. cannot define his "mission".14. A playwright _________A. usually expresses more than what is inhim.B. usually realizes his vision fullyC. can always express more than what isin him.D. often expresses less than what is inhim.15. "To hold the mirror up to nature" "to interpret a generation to itself," these are_________A. examples of cliches used byplaywrights.B. what playwrights conceive to be theirmission.C. the only real missions of the playwright.D. both A and B.Notes:extol --- to praise very highlyesoteric --- limitedⅦ.

Write "T"or"F"at the corresponding place on the answer sheet.It's a typical Saturday afternoon on Cathedral Square in Peterborough^ in the east of England. Two noisy gangs of young people are sitting in the centre of the square. One group are wearing tracksuits and baseball caps and brand-new white trainers. A lot of them are wearing jewellery like gold chains andearrings. They're the'Chavs'. Opposite them are the 'Goths'. They're wearing black Doctor Marten boots,long black coats and black T-shirts with the names of their favorite bands on them. Some of them are wearing lipstick and eyeliner and a few of them have piercings. Nervous shoppers hurry past them t trying not to make eye contact. It seems to be quiet but you feel that at any moment a fight could start. The police say these young people are probably harmless-perhaps they just hang around the square because there's nothing better to do. But older people say they are tired of putting up with the noise and litter.These kinds of problems certainly aren't unique to Peterborough.But after trying several different methods, Peterborough City Council has a radical plan to change things.The council's controversial plan to bring peace to the city starts on a Tuesday morning during the half-term holiday.A group of fourteen Chavs and Goths of both sexes are travelling by bus to a secret location in the countryside, ten miles out of town. There are more Chavs than Goths-maybe it's hard for some Goths to get up in the mornings!When they finally arrive,supervisors ask them to put on camouflage clothing. And then the two gangs spend the rest of the morning pretending to shoot at each other.Don't worry-the guns are not reaKthey fire plastic balls filled with paint)and it's all for fun. But isn't it dangerous to fight aggression with aggression? Is a game of paintball really the best way to bring young people together? Steve Mayes, the organizer of the event, feels that it is. He thinks these controversial games give the two groups something to do and can start them talking, 'It gets rid of a lot of energy too-it's much better than playing games on Playstations and XBoxes>J he says. Meanwhile, the Chavs and Goths are fooling around ： there's a lot of shouting and laughter and everyone appears to be having fun.At the end of the day Steve Mayes believes the event was a success-the two groups are already talking to each other.'It's like football,'says Denise,another organizer.You choose which team you belong to. But at the end of the day,Chavs and Goths are the same sort of people.'16.The scenes that are described in the first paragraph don't happen very often.17.The shoppers in Peterborough are afraid to look at the young people in the square.18.The police don't think the young people are dangerous.19.Peterborough isn't the only place where you can find such problems.20.Only boys are taking part in the council's events.Passage B(2points each,10points in total)Complete the email with one word chosen from the following five choices marked as A t B t C 9D 9and E and write your answer on the answer sheet.A. better C. were E.hadB. take D. idea31/1/2007Hi Steve,Interesting to hear that you're going to Egypt.

高级英语读写期末试题及答案
高级英语读写期末试题及答案Section 1: Reading ComprehensionPart A: Multiple ChoiceRead the following passage and answer the questions below.(1) In recent years, social media platforms have revolutionized the way people communicate and share information. The rise of platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter has provided individuals with new avenues for self-expression and connection.(2) One key benefit of social media is its ability to facilitate instant communication between individuals, regardless of distance. In the past, long-distance communication relied heavily on traditional methods such as letters or phone calls, which could be time-consuming and expensive. Social media platforms have made it possible to connect and share updates with friends and family around the world in real-time, with just a few clicks.(3) Another major advantage of social media is its role in promoting social and political movements. Through platforms like Twitter and Instagram, users can spread important messages, raise awareness, and mobilize support for various causes. This has played a crucial role in movements such as the #MeToo movement or the Black Lives Matter movement, giving a voice to marginalized communities and serving as a catalyst for change.(4) However, the rise of social media also brings its fair share of challenges. One significant concern is the issue of privacy. As peoplewillingly share personal information and engage in online discussions, their data becomes vulnerable to exploitation by malicious actors. Instances of identity theft and online harassment are on the rise, highlighting the need for individuals to exercise caution while using social media platforms.(5) Moreover, social media can sometimes have a negative impact on mental health. The constant exposure to carefully curated images and highlights of others' lives can lead to feelings of inadequacy and low self-esteem. Furthermore, the addictive nature of social media can result in decreased productivity and increased social isolation.(6) In conclusion, social media has undoubtedly transformed the way we communicate and interact with others. While it brings several advantages such as instant communication and the amplification of social movements, it also poses challenges such as privacy concerns and detrimental effects on mental health. Ultimately, it is essential for users to strike a balance and adopt responsible usage of these platforms to fully reap their benefits.1. What is the main topic of the passage?a) The rise of social media platforms.b) The benefits of social media communication.c) The challenges of social media.d) The impact of social media on mental health.2. How have social media platforms revolutionized communication?a) By providing avenues for self-expression.b) By enabling instant long-distance communication.c) By raising awareness for social and political causes.d) By increasing instances of online harassment.3. What is one major concern related to the rise of social media?a) The spread of important messages.b) The vulnerability of personal information.c) The promotion of social and political movements.d) The impact on mental health.4. What is one potential negative effect of social media on individuals' mental health?a) Increased productivity.b) Improved self-esteem.c) Feelings of inadequacy.d) Enhanced social connections.Part B: True or FalseRead the following statements and determine whether they are true or false based on the information in the passage.1. Social media platforms have made long-distance communication more convenient in recent years.2. Social media has played a crucial role in promoting social and political movements.3. The rise of social media has resulted in a decrease in instances of online harassment.4. Social media platforms have no impact on individuals' mental health.Section 2: Writing SkillsPart A: Vocabulary and GrammarChoose the most appropriate word or phrase to complete each sentence.1.

One of the main advantages of globalization is the facilitation of the global exchange of goods and services. This has led to greater availability and diversity ofproducts, enabling consumers to access goods from all over the world. Moreover, globalization has resulted in improved economic growth and job opportunities, particularly in developing countries that have become key players in the global market.However, globalization also presents some disadvantages. One major concern is the growing income inequality between developed and developing nations. While globalization has created wealth for some, it has simultaneously deepened poverty for others. Additionally, the outsourcing of jobs to cheaper labor markets has impacted local economies, leading to unemployment and social unrest.In conclusion, globalization is a complex phenomenon with both positive and negative aspects. It is crucial for policymakers to strike a balance between reaping the benefits of globalization and addressing its challenges, ensuring inclusivity and sustainability in the global economy.。

It is tough, elastic, buoyant, and fire-resistant, and suitable for a wide range of purposes. It has also been used for millennia: the ancient Egyptians sealed their sarcophagi (stone coffins) with cork, while the ancient Greeks and Romans used it for anything from beehives to sandals.And the cork oak itself is an extraordinary tree. Its bark grows up to 20 cm in thickness, insulating the tree like a coat wrapped around the trunk and branches and keeping the inside at a constant 20℃all year round. Developed most probably as a defence against forest fires, the bark of the cork oak has a particular cellular structure - with about 40 million cells per cubic centimetre - that technology has never succeeded in replicating. The ceils are filled with air, which is why cork is so buoyant.It also has an elasticity that means you can squash it and watch it spring back to its original size and shape when you release the pressure.Cork oaks grow in a number of Mediterranean countries, including Portugal, Spain, Italy, Greece and Morocco. They flourish in warm, sunny climates where there is a minimum of 400 millimetres of rain per year, and not more than 800 millimetres. Like grape vines, the trees thrive in poor soil, putting down deep roots in search of moisture and nutrients. Southern Portugal’s Alentejo region meets all of these requirements, which explains why, by the early 20th century, this region had become the world’s largest producer of cork, and why today it accounts for roughly half of all cork production around the world.Most cork forests are family-owned. Many of these family businesses, and indeed many of the trees themselves, are around 200 years old. Cork production is, above all, an exercise in patience. From the planting of a cork sapling to the first harvest takes 25 years, and a gap of approximately a decade must separate harvests from an individual tree. And for top-quality cork, it’s necessary to wait a further 15 or 20 years. You even have to wait for the right kind of summer’s day to harvest cork. If the bark is stripped on a day when it’s too cold - or when the air is damp -the tree will be damaged.Cork harvesting is a very specialised profession. No mechanical means of stripping cork bark has been invented, so the job is done by teams of highly skilled workers. First, they make vertical cuts down the bark using small sharp axes, then lever it away in pieces as large as they can manage. The most skilful cork- strippers prise away a semi-circular husk that runs the length of the trunk from just above ground level to the first branches. It is then dried on the ground for about four months, before being taken to factories, where it is boiled to kill any insects that might remain in the cork. Over 60% of cork then goes on to be made into traditional bottle stoppers, with most of the remainder being used in the construction trade. Corkboard and cork tiles are ideal for thermal and acoustic insulation, while granules of cork are used in the manufacture of concrete.Recent years have seen the end of the virtual monopoly of cork as the material for bottle stoppers, due to concerns about the effect it may have on the contents of the bottle. This is caused by a chemical compound called 2,4,6-trichloroanisole (TCA), which forms through the interaction of plant phenols, chlorine and mould. The tiniest concentrations - as little as three or four parts to a trillion - can spoil the taste of the product contained in the bottle. The result has been a gradual yetsteady move first towards plastic stoppers and, more recently, to aluminium screw caps. These substitutes are cheaper to manufacture and, in the case of screw caps, more convenient for the user.The classic cork stopper does have several advantages, however. Firstly, its traditional image is more in keeping with that of the type of high quality goods with which it has long been associated. Secondly - and very importantly - cork is a sustainable product that can be recycled without difficulty. Moreover, cork forests are a resource which support local biodiversity, and prevent desertification in the regions where they are planted. So, given the current concerns about environmental issues, the future of this ancient material once again looks promising.Following statements agree with the information given in Reading Passage 1?Write TRUE if the statement agrees with the informationFALSE if the statement contradicts the informationNOT GIVEN if there is no information on this11. The cork oak has the thickest bark of any living tree.12.Scientists have developed a synthetic cork with the same cellular structure as natural cork.13. Individual cork oak trees must be left for 25 years between the first and second harvest.14. Cork bark should be stripped in dry atmospheric conditions.15. The only way to remove the bark from cork oak trees is by hand.PART Ⅲ TRANSLATION（24 points）SECTION A English to Chinese ( 12 points)The two old crones, chiming in together, began pouring out many piteous lamentations that the poor dear was too far gone to know her best friends; and were uttering sundry protestations that they would never leave her, when the superior pushed them from the room, closed the door, and returned to the bedside. On being excluded, the old ladies changed their tone, and cried through the keyhole that old Sally was drunk; which, indeed, was not unlikely; since, in addition to a moderate dose of opium prescribed by the apothecary, she was labouring under the effects of a final taste of gin-and-water which had been privily administered, in the openness of their hearts, by the worthy old ladies themselves.SECTION B Chinese to English （12 points）但“面子”究竟是怎么一回事呢？不想还好，一想可就觉得胡涂。

There are 5 tasks for you to fulfill. You should read the reading materials carefully and do the task as you are instructed.Task 1Hank Viscardi was born without legs. He had not legs but stumps (残肢) that could be fitted with a kind of special boots.People stared at him with cruel interest. Children laughed at him and called him ―Ape Man‖(猿人) because his arms practically dragged on the ground.Hank went to school like other boys. His grades were good and he needed only eight years to finish his schooling instead of the usual twelve. After graduating from school, he worked his way though college. He swept floors, waited on table, or worked in one of the college offices. During all this busy life, he had been moving around on his stumps. But one day the doctor told him even the stumps were not going to last much longer. He would soon have to use a wheelchair.Hank felt himself get cold all over. However, the doctor said there was a chance that he could be fitted with artificial legs (假肢). Finally a leg maker was found and the day came when Hank stood up before the mirror. For the first time he saw himself as he has always wanted to be - a full five feet eight inches tall. By this time he was already 26 years old.Hank had to learn to use his new legs. Again and again he marched the length of the room, and marched back again. Therewere times when he fell down on the floor, but he pulled himself up and went back to the endless marching. He went out on the street. He climbed stairs and learned to dance. He built a boat and learned to sail it.When World War II came, he talked the Red Crossing into giving him a job. He took the regular training. He marched and drilled along with the other soldiers. Few knew that he was legless. This was the true story of Hank Viscardi, a man without legs.36. Children laughed at Hank and called him ―Ape Man‖ because _______.A. he didn’t talk to themB. he kept away from themC. his arms touched the ground when he movedD. he couldn’t use his arms37.

None of the above38. The sentence ―he talked the Red Cross into giving him a job‖ implies that the Red Cross _______.A. was only glad to give him a jobB. gave him a job because he was a good soldierC. gave him a job after he talked to someone he knewD. was not willing to give him a job at first39.

And even if he does not become very rich, he wants people to think that he is. That is what ―keeping up with the Joneses‖ is about. It is the story of someone who tried t o look as rich as his neighbors.The expression was first used in 1913 by a young American called Arthur Momand. He told this story about himself. He began earning $125 a week at the age of 23. That was a lot of money in those days. He got married and moved with his wife to a very wealthy neighborhood outside New York City. When he saw that rich people rode horses, Momand went horse-riding everyday. When he saw that rich people had servants, Momand and his wife also hired a servant and gave big parties for their new neighbors.It was like a race, but one could never finish this race because one was always trying to keep up. The race ended for Momand and his wife when they could no longer pay for their new way of life. They moved back to an apartment in New York City.Momand looked around him and noticed that many people do things just to keep up with rich lifestyle of their neighbors. He saw the funny side of it and started to write a series of short stories. Hecalled it ―Keeping up with the Joneses‖ because ―Jones‖ is a very c ommon name in the Untie States. ―Keep up with the Joneses‖ came to mean keeping up with the rich lifestyle of the people around you. Momand’s series appeared in different newspapers across the country for over 28 years.People never seem to get tried of keeping up with the Joneses. And there are ―Joneses‖ in every city of the world. But one must get tired of trying to keep up with the Joneses because no matter what one does, Mr. Jones always seems to be ahead.41. Some people want to keep up with the Joneses because they _____.A. want to be as rich as their neighborsB. want others to know or to think that they are richC. don’t want others to know they are richD. want to be happy42. It can be inferred from the story that rich people like to _____.A. live outside New York CityB. live in New York CityC. live in apartmentsD. have many neighbors43. The underlined word ― neighborhood‖ in Para.2 means________.A. a person who lives near anotherB. people living in an areaC. an area near the place referred toD. an area in another town or city44. Arthur Momand used the name ―Jones‖ in his series of short stories because ―Jones‖ is __________.A. an important nameB. a popular name in the United StatesC. his neighbor’s nameD. not a good name45. According to the writer, it is _____ to keep up with the Joneses.A. correctB. interestingC. impossibleD. goodTask 3Directions: The following is a passage. After reading it, you are required to complete the outline below it. You should write your answers (in no more than 3 words) briefly.Freezing can keep food fresh and safe to eat. Freezing lowers the food temperature below zero degree Celsius(摄氏). The simplestway to prepare fruits is to cut them up and place them in a container inside the freezer, in some cases it is better to permit the fruit to freeze before putting it in the container. This will keep it from stick ing to the container. This is called the ―dry pack‖ method. The second way is the ―wet pack‖ method. The fruit is prepared along with some of its liquid or juice. You can add some sugar to fruits that are naturally juicy. The sugar sweetens the fruit and brings out its natural juice. Once foods have been unfrozen, they should not be frozen again. There is a danger of food poisoning if food is frozen more than once.Task 4Directions: The following is a list of airport terms.
