Choose among A, B, C, and D or between T and F to answer each question. Write the letter of your choice on your Answer Sheet.Passage 1Most of the people who appear most often and most gloriously in the history books are great conquerors and generals and soldiers, whereas the people who really helped civilization forward are often never mentioned at all. We do not know who first set a broken leg, or launched a seaworthy boat, or calculated the length of the year, or manured a field; but we know all about the killers and destroyers. People think a great deal of them, so much so that on all the highest pillars in the great cities of the world you will find the figure of a conqueror or a general or a soldier. And I think most people believe that the greatest countries ruled over them as conquerors. It is just possible they are, but they are not the most civilized.腹有诗书气自华Animals fight; so do savages; hence to be good at fighting is to be good in the way in which an animal or a savage is good, but it is not to be civilized. Even being good at getting other people to fight for you and telling them how to do it most efficiently—this, after all, is what conquerors and generals have done—is not being civilized. People fight to settle quarrels. Fighting means killing, and civilized peoples ought to be able to find some way of settling their disputes other than by seeing which side can kill off the greater number of the other side, and then saying that that side which has killed most has won. And not only has it won, but, because it has won, it has been in the right. For that is what going to war means; it means saying that might is right.That is what the story of mankind has on the whole been like. Even our own age has fought the two greatest wars in history, in which millions of people were killed or mutilated. And while today it is true that people do not fight and kill each other in the streets—while, that is to say, we have got to the stage of keeping the rules and behaving properly to each other in daily life—nations and countries have not learnt to do this yet, and still behave like savages.But we must not expect too much. After all, the race of men has only just started. From the point of view of evolution, human beings are very young children indeed, babies, in fact, of a few months old. Scientists reckon that there has been life of some sort on the earth in the form of jelly-fish and that kind of creature for about twelve hundred million years; but there have been men for only one million years, and there have been civilized men for about eight thousand years at the outside. These figures are difficult to grasp; so let us scale them down. Suppose that we reckon the whole past of living creatures on the earth as one hundred years; then the whole past of man works out at about one month, and during that month there have been civilizations for between seven and eight hours. So you see there has been little time to learn in, but there will be oceans of time in which to learn better. Taking man’s civilized past at about seven or eight hours, we may estimate his future, that is to say, the whole period between now and when the sun grows too cold to maintain life any longer on the earth, at about one hundred thousand years. Thus mankind is only at the beginning of its civilized life, and as I say, we must not expect too much. The past of man has been on the whole a pretty beastly business, a business of fighting and bullying and gorging and grabbing and hurting. We must not expect even civilized peoples not to have done these things. All we can ask is that they will sometimes have done something else.51. In the first sentence, the author says that .A.most history books were written by conquerors, generals and soldiersB.no one who really helped civilization forward is mentioned in any history bookC.history books tell us far more about conquerors and soldiers than about those who helpedcivilization forwardD.conquerors, generals and soldiers should not be mentioned in history books52. Most people believe that the greatest countries are .A.those that built the highest pillarsB.those that were beaten in battle by the greatest number of other countriesC.those that were ruled by the greatest number of conquerorsD.those that won the greatest number of battles against other countries53. The author says that civilized people .A.should not have any quarrels to settleB.should not fight when there are no quarrels to settleC.should settle their quarrels without fightingD.should settle their quarrels by seeing which side can kill off the greater number of the other side54. “Even our own age has fought the two greatest wars in history.” The author says this in order to show that our own age腹有诗书气自华is .A.different from those of the pastB.not much better than those of the pastC.much better than those of the pastD.not so civilized as those of the past55. The scale which the author uses for representing time is .A.one month=one million yearsB.one hundred years=eight thousand yearsC.one year=one million yearsD.one month=twelve hundred million yearsPassage 2The environment is everything that surrounds us: plants, animals, buildings, country, air, water—literally everything that can affect us in any way. The environment of a town, with its buildings and traffic and its noise and smells, where everyone is on top of everyone else, is a far cry from that of the countryside, with its fields and crops, its wild and domestic animals and its feeling of spaciousness. And the environment differs in different parts of the world.Ecology is the science of how living creatures and plants exist together and depend on each other and on local environment. Where an environment is undisturbed, the ecology of an area is in balance, but if a creature is exterminated or an alien species introduced, then the ecology of the district will be upset—in other words, the balance of nature will be disturbed.Man is a part of the environment and has done more to upset the ecology during his short span on earth than any other living creature. He has done this by his ignorance, his greed, and his wastefulness. He has poisoned the atmosphere and polluted both land and water. He has squandered the earth’s natural resources with no thought for the future, and he has thought out the most destructive ways of killing his fellow men—and every other sort of life at the same time.Since man has done so much damage, it is up to man to try to put matters right—if it is not already too late. If there is to be any remedy for our ills, that remedy ultimately lies in the hands of the young, and the sooner they start doing something about it, the better.One of t he main causes of the earth’s troubles is that the world is overpopulated and that this overpopulation is growing at an ever-increasing rate. At the same time we are using up our natural resources—fuels and mineral ores—at an ever-increasing rate with no hope of replacing them.For many years the earth has been unable to provide enough food for these rapidly expanding populations and the position is steadily deteriorating since the fertility of some of our richest soils has been lost and vast areas that were once fertile lands have turned into deserts. And the trouble with deserts is that they tend to creep outwards on to the fertile soils. What is now the northern Sahara Desert fed much of the civilised world 2,500 years ago.Even at this moment many of the earth’s natural treasures are being destroyed, many valuable animals and plants are being killed off, and it is becoming increasingly difficult to grow enough food to preserve much of the earth’s population fr om starvation. The situation is getting out of hand. Time is running out. But with your help, we may be able to reverse the trends which threaten our very existence.56. The environment of a town, …, is a far cry from that of the countryside….A. a great deal different fromB. a long distance fromC. a loud cry fromD. a cry from distance腹有诗书气自华57. Man is a part of … and has done more to upset the ecology….A. turn…overB. cause…to be disturbedC. cause…to worryD. cause confusion to…58. … he has thought out the most destructive ways of killing hi s fellow men….A. colleaguesB. other members of the mankindC. countrymenD. men working for him59. If there is to be any remedy for our ills, that remedy ultimately lies in.…A. bad deedsB. illnessC. diseaseD. sickness60. One of the main caus es … is…that this overpopulation is growing at an ever-increasing rate.A. valueB. costC. speedD. charge or paymentPassage 3The people who lived in Rome 2,000 years ago were already complaining about the noise in their city. They couldn’t sleep, they said, with all that traffic in the streets. For them, noise was merely a disturbance. For us it has become a real danger. We know that the sounds of an average city are loud enough to cause serious damage to the inhabitants’ hearing—in the United States, one person out of twenty has suffered some hearing loss. And all over the world the situation is getting worse all the time, since noise increases with the population.Noise has also increased enormously in the 20th century with the development of machines. We live surrounded by loud planes, trucks, motorcycles, buses, electric tools, radios, pneumatic drills—that roar day and night up to 90 or 100 decibels. The decibel is the unit used to measure the loudness of sound. A normal conversation reaches 55 decibels, thunder roars at 70 decibels, a jet plane goes to 100 decibels and more, and an ordinary subway train, approaching the station, can be twice as loud as the loudest jet. The average discotheque reaches around 118 decibels. At 120 decibels the ear stops hearing sound, and pain starts.Unfortunately, the human ear does not judge clearly the degree of loudness of a noise. A sound ten decibels louder than another one is felt as twice as loud, when in fact it is ten times louder. Since we cannot measure the increase or decrease of noise, we never know to what danger we are exposed.But it is not only our hearing that is threatened. It has been established that loud noises, over a period of time, cause loss of sleep, anger, and many mental and physical problems. Such problems have been observed among factory workers, prisoners in large prisons, and people who drive heavy trucks, operate pneumatic drills, or go frequently to rock-and-roll concerts.Is there a solution? We do know how to build quieter machines, if the public wants them. But merchants point out that people who buy motorcycles, for instance, prefer the loudest ones because they sound more powerful. Some cities are trying to enforce more strictly their anti-noise laws. In Memphis automobilists are fined fifty dollars for honking; they may lose their right to drive if they do it again. People who carry noisy radios in public places may lose them if they are caught with them.Actually, it will take everybody’s efforts to keep city noises from incre asing. Even so, say the experts, in twenty years the cities will be twice as loud as they are today because of the growth of the population. The inhabitants will have to shout to be heard at the dinner table. Unless, of course, they have all become completely deaf.61. The sounds of an average city won’t cause serious damage to the inhabitants’ hearing.F62. The development of machines is the only cause of the increase of noise.F63. The human ear cannot judge the loudness of a noise clearly.T64. We don’t know how to build quieter machines.F腹有诗书气自华65. If everybody makes his efforts to keep city noises from increasing, the cities will become quieter in twenty years.FPassage 4Why all the fuss about inflation? True, some people are paying higher prices for goods, but this clearly means that some people are also being paid more. The problem is that inflation redistributes economic welfare. Those who have fixed incomes—perhaps a pension or interest from bonds—suffer because the standard of living their incomes will buy falls lower and lower. Workers whose salaries are fixed by law or by long-term contracts are injured in the same way. At the same time debtors and employers are better off. Old debts are being repaid with cheap money, money that can be earned with a fraction of the effort that they represented when borrowed initially. Employers are profiting because the prices of their products are rising while the cost of the most important input—labor—remains unchanged at the contracted wage. But inflation also affects the distribution of income in more subtle ways. Since the American tax system is progressive—since it takes a larger share of incomes in taxes as incomes increase—inflation redistributes income from private households to the public sector.Widespread use of labor contracts, which often extend over three or more years, has recently resulted in reductions in the real wages paid to some workers. This in turn has made production more profitable. If prices paid to firms rise with inflation while wages are fixed by a contract negotiated earlier, the firm will earn greater profits and wish to expand its output. Inflation affects both the functional distribution of income (the allocation between wages and profits) and the level of employment. This phenomenon may be analyzed formally within the framework of the theory of wage determination. If wages and prices are stated in nominal terms, the effect of inflation is to increase the marginal revenue product of labor. Marginal revenue product, you will recall, is the increase in total revenue that results from hiring an additional worker. If prices rise, so will marginal revenue product. But wages have been set after nights of shrill bargaining by union and management representatives, and the nominal wage rate remains constant in spite of the rise in prices. Workers are worse off, of course; moreover, the most profitable levels of employment and production increase. In order to restore equilibrium, the firm must increase employment until the nominal wage is again equal to marginal revenue product.Inflation also affects the level of national income. Through its effects on the share of incomes going into taxes, inflation changes the value of the multiplier. Over the past decade this change has been significant. Also, by altering the size of distribution of incomes, inflation is likely to influence the marginal propensity to consume, at least in the short run. Finally, inflation at home reduces the competitiveness of exports in foreign markets and, if not matched by foreign inflation, increases the attractiveness of imports. Both of these phenomena reduce domestic aggregate demand and thereby lower equilibrium between national income and employment. The net effect of inflation on national income is unclear. Some of its consequences are expansionary (its effects on labor markets), but others are contractionary (its impact on net exports). The precise implications of inflation thus depend on how strong each of these effects is.66. During inflation debtors and employees are better off.T67. As a result of inflation, employers are profiting because the prices of their products are rising but the cost of labor remains unchanged at the contracted wageT68. Long-term labor contracts protect labors from being injured by inflation.F69. Inflation also affects the level of national income by changing the value of the multiplier between incomes and taxes.T70. Inflation in a country discourages both export and import.TIV. Translate the following sentences into Chinese. (10%)71. In Japan’s capital city of Tokyo, earthquake danger limits the height of building.腹有诗书气自华.在日本首都东京，地震危险限制了建筑高度。

About half of all people over 65 have 33 sleeping problems, such as insomnia, and deep sleep 34 in many 35 people often become very short or 36 completely. This 37 may be a normal part of aging, 38 it may result from medical problems that are common in elderly people and 39 the medications and 40 treatments for those problems.Experts say that if you feel drowsy during the 41 , even during boring activities, you 42 had enough sleep. If you routinely fall 43 within 5 minutes of lying down, you probably have severe 44 deprivation, possibly even a sleep 45 . Microsleeps, or very brief episodes of sleep in an otherwise 46 person, are another mark of sleep deprivation. In many cases, people are not 47 that they are experiencing microsleeps.

On Christmas Eve when Paul came out of his office, a street urchin was walking around the shiny new car, admiring it. “Is this your car, Mister” he asked.Paul nodded. “My brother gave it to me for Christmas.” The boy was astounded. “You mean your brother gave it to you and it didn’t cost you nothing Boy, I wish….” He hesitated.Of course Paul knew what he was going to wish for. He was going to wish he had a brother like that. But what the lad said jarred Paul all the way down to his heels.“I wish,” the boy went on, “that I could be a brother like that.”Paul loo ked at the boy in astonishment, then impulsively he added, “Would you like to take a ride in my automobile”“Oh yes, I’d love that.”After a short ride, the boy turned and with his eyes aglow, said, “Mister, would you mind driving in front of my house”Paul smiled a little. He thought he knew what the lad wanted. He wanted to show his neighbors that he could ride home in a big automobile. But Paul was wrong again. “Will you stop where those two steps are” the boy asked.He ran up the steps. Then in a little while Paul heard him coming back, but he was not coming fast. He was carrying his little crippled brother. He sat him down on the bottom step, then sort of squeezed up against him and pointed to the car.“There she is, Buddy, just like I told you upstairs. His brother gave it to him for Christmas and it didn’t cost him a cent. And some day I’m gonna give you one just like it…, then you can see for yourself all the pretty things in the Christmas windows that I’ve been trying to tell you about.”Paul got out and lifted the lad to the front seat of his car. The shining-eyed older brother climbed in beside him and the three of them began a memorable holiday ride. That Christmas Eve, Paul learned what Jesus meant when he had said: “It is more blessed to give….”B51. The boy was astounded.A. He was very surprised.B. He was so surprised that he was shocked.C.

But you can slow your rate of wrinkling by eating the right foods to keep the fat layers under your skin sufficiently plump to maintain a smooth complexion. For example, while one baked sweet potato, eight ounces of orange juice or ten potato chips provide about 100 calories, only the sweet potato and orange juice supply quality calories. The sweet potato is rich in vitamin A, which helps skin cells shed smoothly, and the juice provides vitamin C, which helps form collagen, the supportive substance that gives youthful skin its elastic quality. Good sources of vitamin A include dark-green, orange and deep-yellow vegetables, and orange-colored fruits. Citrus fruits are a good source of vitamin C.Drink plenty of water. Once you’re past your 20s, many of your skin’s natural moisturizers—sweat and oil glands—shut down, and the top layer of skin thins out. As a result, skin no longer holds moisture well. Also, if you don’t drink enough water to replace what you lose every day through urination and perspiration, your body pulls what it needs from your cells, including skin cells, resulting in drier, older-looking skin.To minimize dryness, drink at least eight to ten eight-ounce glasses of water a day. Don’t count drinks such as coffee, tea and cola as part of your daily intake. They contain caffeine, a diuretic that may increase water loss from the skin, as will alcohol.Another symptom of aging you can offset with diet is lowered resistance to illness.

Since then; innumerable children32 in front of the set. However; many people now worry about the effectof TV on the young. They wonder there had never been 33 invention. Why are they so afraid Is television really harmfulLike almost anything else; television has its good as well as its bad sides.It has 34 joy and interest into the lives of the old; the sick; and the lonely. Without it; some of these people would have little pleasure and no window 35 the world.Unfortunately; some television programs have been extremely harmful tothe young. Children do not have enough 36 . They do not realize thatTV programs often show an unreal world. Commercials lie in order to sell products that are sometimes bad or useless. Children believe them and wantto 37 what they see on TV. They believe that they will make more friends if they use a certain soap—or some other product. They believe thatthe murders on TV 38 are normal and acceptable. By the time theyare out of high school; most young people have watched about 15;000 hoursof television; and have seen about 18;000 violent 39 . If they see violent deaths every day; how can they be shocked by murder in real life Television has certainly changed our lives and our society. 40its good points; it has brought many problems.

And even if a person is poor he doesn’t feelreally poor 42 he has a car.There are three main reasons the car became so popular in the United States. 43 of all the country is a huge one and Americans like to move around in it. The car provides the most comfortable and 44 formof transportation. With a car people can go any place without spending a lotof money.The second reason cars are popular is the fact 45 the United States never developed an efficient and inexpensive form of public 46 . Long-distance trains have never been as common in the United Statesas they are in other parts of the world. Nowadays there is a good system ofair-service 47 by planes. But it is too expensive to be used frequently.The third reason is the most important one; though. The American spiritof independence is 48 really made cars popular. Americans don’t liketo wait for a bus; or a train or even a plane. They don’t like to have to49 an exact schedule. A car gives them the freedom to schedule their own time.

Reading ComprehensionSection A:There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some true-false questions. Decide whether each of them is true T or false F.Passage 1In the old days; divers used to go down into the sea looking for ships that had sunk; because they hoped to find gold and jewels. Now divers still search for valuable things in sunken ships; but they also try to bring tothe surface the ships themselves; or parts of them. The value of different kinds of metals has increased greatly over the last twenty or thirty years and even though a ship has been under the sea for many years; it may be worth a great deal.One famous sunken ship is the "Lusitania"; which sank off the southern coast of Ireland in 1915 with a loss of nearly 1500 lives. It has four huge propellers made of an expensive metal. Today each of those propellers is worth $300;000 or more. The ship; lying on the sea-bed has been bought by a man called John Light. He paid about $1;200;000 for the whole ship. He hopes to bring up those propellers and sell them. He also hopes to sell other parts of the ship; when he has brought them to the surface; for about $ 600;000. T51. Divers try to bring up metals because some kinds of them are worth a lot of money.T52. Now divers still search for valuable things and try to bring to the earth surface the ships themselves.F53. John Light hopes he may be able to sell the whole ship of “Lusitania”for more than $ million.F54. The ship “Lusitania”sank off the southwestern coast of Ireland with a lot of people drowned.F55. In the past; divers hoped to bring up everything of a sunken ship exceptmetals.Passage 2More and more people today are realizing the importance of regular physical exercise. In the past; work for most people involved manual labor in the fresh open air of the fields. However; nowadays an increasing number of people are employed in offices or factories. Their daily work does not provide them with the amount of exercise their bodies need. Therefore; they have come to spend part of their free time doing regular physical exercise.There are many different forms of exercise to suit different tastes. For example; those who enjoy competitive sports may take up ball games. Those who prefer to exercise alone can have a run or take a walk in the morning or in the evening. Besides; people can go swimming in summer and go skating in winter. In short; no matter what their interests are; people can always find one or more sports that are suitable to them.However; the form of physical exercise must be chosen carefully. More harm than good will result if people choose the wrong form of exercise. For the aged; Qigong or Tai Ji Quan will suit them better than competitive sports. Those who have little spare time may have a regular run in the morning. Only if the kind of exercise is chosen properly and performed regularly; will it benefit people’s health; work and s tudy.T56. Nowadays; more people realize the importance of physical exercise.F57. It is unnecessary to take some exercise every day.T58. People who enjoy competitive sports may take up basketball or football. F59. Physical exercise can do more harm than good to people because they will feel tired after it.can always find one or more sports that benefit their health; work and study. IV.

In my opinion; it is essential to do the following.First; it is absolutely necessary to take 42 exercise every day. Research shows that getting plenty of exercise makes the heart beat fasterand the lungs work harder. This 43 the heart; reduces the chance of heart attack; and helps 44 blood pressure. That’s why more and more peopleare becoming active in various kinds of sports and exercises. Every morning 45 people get up early and take much exercise. Some practice Tai Ji Quanand swordplay 46 others run; jog; walk or dance to music. In the afternoon; there are also many people keen down sports. Some play basketballor volleyball or table tennis; others 47 gymnastics or track events. Through sports and exercises; people become healthier and stronger.Medical researchers have proved that what people eat affects their health. They 48 people to eat more fruits and vegetables and less meat suchas beef and pork because meat contains more fat than poultry and fish. Fatcan build up in the arteries; block the flow of blood; and cause a heart attackor stroke.Getting rid of bad habits 49 smoking and drinking alcohol is also an important way to keep healthy. Smoking and drinking alcohol injure one’s health a great deal; and therefore should be given up. Unfortunately few people follow this advice.If people follow these three ways of keeping 50 ; they can greatly improve their health.41-45:DBDCC 46-50: ADABB41. A. of B. at C. for D. to42.

Of course; it is impossible for us to be on every spot; even with the best means of transportation of our time. However; TV can bring them right in front of us and with them our life is full of joys.Above all; watching TV is educational.

Does a man walk on the left or the right of a woman in your country? Or doesn't it matter? What about table manners? Should you use both hands when you are eating? Should you leave one in your lap, or on the table?The Americans and the British not only speak the same language but also share a large number of social customs. For example, in both America and England people shake hands when they meet each other for the first time. Also, most Englishmen will open a door for a woman or offer their seat to a woman, and so will most Americans. Promptness is important both in England and in America. That is, if a dinner invitation is for 7 o'clock, the dinner guest either arrives close to that time or calls up to explain his delay.The important thing to remember about social customs is not to do anything that might make other people feel uncomfortable －especially if they are your guests. There is an old story about a man who gave a formal dinner party. When the food was served, one of the guests started to eat his peas with a knife. The other guests were amused or shocked, but the host calmly picked up his knife and began eating in the same way. It would have been bad manners to make his guest feel foolish or uncomfortable.21.T he guest should find an excuse if he is to be late for the dinner.A.TB.F22.“It would have been bad manners to make his guest feel foolish or uncomfortable” “Bad manners” means shameful.A.TB.F23.A ccording to the text, the best host tried his best to make his guests feel c omfortable.A.TB.F24.T he host was polite when he picked up his knife and began eating in the same way.A.TB.F25.T his passage mainly tells us something about social customs.A.TB.FPart III Cloze (30 points)It is difficult for you to get up in the morning?

When he was only 15, he went to France to work for the English ambassador （大使）.Two years later he went back to England to study law. At the age of twenty three he was chosen to parliament （议会）. His ideas about how scientists should study things in nature help to bring the modern way of thinking, called the scientific method.One of the Bacon`s best-known books was his Essays. Each essay was a short piece of writing in which he tried to give a lesson by discussing sides of a subject such as studying, conversation, friends and healthy living. In many of his books, Bacon explained how scientists should study things as they really existed in nature and then tried to figure out what caused a particular thing to be as it was. Later, by doing experiments, the scientist could see that any one cause would always have the same result. This method, which is called inductive reasoning, is used by all the scientists today, but it was new in Bacon`s time.36.According to the passage we know that .A.

"I'll wait until the doctor comes into the shop next time. Then I'll ask him about my foot. If I go to see him, I'll have to pay him."On the next day the doctor came into the shop for some books. When the bookseller was getting them ready, he told the doctor about his bad foot. The doctor looked at it."You must put that foot in hot water every night. Then you must put something on it," said the doctor.He took out a piece of paper and wrote on it. "Buy this and put it on the foot before you go to bed every night," he said."Thank you," said the bookseller. "And now, sir, here are your books.""How much?" said the doctor."Two pounds.""Good," said the doctor. "I shall not have to pay you anything.""Why?" asked the bookseller."I told you about your foot. I want two pounds for that. If people come to my house, I ask them to pay one pound for a small thing like that. But when I go to their houses, I want two pounds.

Shy people are anxious and self-conscious; that is, they are excessively concerned with their own appearance and actions. Worrisome thoughts are constantly occurring in their minds: what kind of impression am I making?Do they like me? Do I sound stupid? Am I wearing unattractive clothes?It is obvious that such uncomforta ble feelings must negatively affect people. A person’s conception of himself or herself is reflected in the way he or she behaves, and the way a person behaves affects other people’s reactions. In general, the way people think about themselves has a profound effect on all areas of their lives.Shy people, having low self-esteem, are likely to be passive and easily influenced by others. They need reassurance that they are doing “the right thing.”Shy people are very sensitive to criticism; they feel it confirms their feelings of inferiority. They also find it difficult to be pleased by compliment with a statement like this one, “You’re just saying that to make me feel good. I know it’s not true.” It is clear that while self-awareness is a healthy quality, overdoing it is harmful.Can shyness be completely eliminated, or at least reduced? Fortunately, people can overcome shyness with determined and patient efforts in building self-confidence. Since shyness goes hand in hand with a lack of self-esteem, it is important for people to accept their weaknesses as well a s their strengths.Each one of us is a unique, worthwhile individual, interested in our own personal ways. The better we understand ourselves, the easier it becomes to live up to our full potential. Let’s not allow shyness to block our chances for a rich and fulfilling life.46.What does the author try to prove by citing “what kind of impression am I making?” (Para. 1)A.Shy people benefit from their caring about their appearance.B.People’s shyness make t hem care too much about their appearance and actions.C.It’s natural that shy people don’t believe other’s compliments.D.Shy people think they are different from others.47.According to the writer, self-awareness is .A.a good qualityB.the cause of unhappinessC.harmful to peopleD.a weak point of shy people48.That shy people react to a compliment in such a way is .A.goodB.unrealC.very reasonableD.harmful49.Which of the following statements is true, according to the p assage?A.Shyness helps us to develop our potentialB.Shyness enables us to understand ourselves betterC.Shyness can block our chances for a rich lifeD.Shyness has nothing to do with lack of self-esteem50.It can be inferred from the passage that shy people .A.should find more of their weaknessB.should understand themselves in the right wayC.had better ignore their weaknessD.can get rid of their shyness while maintaining low self-esteem山东大学网络教育入学测试模拟题：大学英语（二）Part 1 Vocabulary and Structure (30 points)1.- We'll have a basketball match this afternoon. - .A.Good luckB.Never mindC.Yes, pleaseD.It's nothing2.- Let's go to the library this afternoon. -A.Yes, that's right.B.No. I can't.C.What about you?D.That's a good idea.3.- Is that seat taken?-A.Please don't worry.B.I don't think so.C.Why not?D.It's very nice.4.- What's the matter, John?-A.I failed my French test.B.It doesn't matter.C.Nothing's wrong with him.D.I don't think I can.5.- How much is this necklace?-A.It's very nice.B.It's a birthday present from my parents.C.It costs fifty pounds.D.It's a bargain.6.that it's very cruel to kill wild animals for money.A.

When dinnertime came, he didn't go to dinning room, saying that he was not feeling very well.The next morning he still didn't have breakfast and at lunchtime he again stayed in his room.

It is the biggest 26 in Britain. It is over thirty kilometers long and in places nearly 300 meters deep. It is cold and dark and not many people went there until after 1930. Then a road was made 27 the lake.Holiday makers began to use the road，and this was when the stories began. Someone said that he has seen a monster（怪物）in the lake. He said it was twelve meters long. It had a long 28 and a small head. Then someone else said he had seen it . Others said the same thing and in 1933 a London doctor took a 29 . It looked like a monster with a long neck and a thick body but the photo was not too 30 . The newspapers printed the picture and called it the Loch Ness monster, or “Nessie”.Then the argument began. 31 people，however，were certain there was something living in the lake. Others said there was nothing there.In 1961, a lot of people joined together to make a real 32 to see and photograph the monster if there was one! Several times people thought they saw something but after ten years there was 33 no real proof（证据）.Later underwater television cameras were used, but no one found any real proof. However, they 34 find something interesting: a huge underwater cave. It was big enough to be home of a monster, but of course, this was not a proof.In 1975, however, some American scientists 35 a search group. They used an underwater camera. It took pictures every seventy seconds. Some of the pictures seemed to show a red-brown creature. Its body was about four meters long and had a very ugly head on the end of a four- meter neck. Many people then began to believe in the monster. But even today we can’t be certain.26.A. river27.A. in B. oceanB. overC. lakeC. aroundD. seaD. above28. A. neck B. ear C. nose D. eye29.

That was a typical (典型的) British Sunday in the 1960s. But things now could not be moreSome British sociologists recently studied the typical British Sunday. They found that people get up later and do less housework than they did 40 years ago. They are far more likely to be out shopping or enjoying themselves than cooking Sunday lunch.Sunday mornings were busy 40 years ago. Most women caught up on their weekly housework and cooked a nice lunch. They seldom allowed themselves any “leisure” until afternoon, after the dishes were cleaned. Then there would be another rush to the table between 5:00 pm and 6:00 pm for tea.But now, Britons can have brunch (早午餐) at the restaurant. Fewer people bother （添麻烦）to cook themselves.“You only have two free days a week. You don’t want to have to waste one because there is nothing to do but watch boring TV,” said Elizabeth Biggs, 25, a producer in London.“On Saturday you are recovering from the week,” Biggs added. “Sundays are the last chance for the weekend — you want to get as much as you can out of the day before you have to go back to work.”In the past, British women usually did their shopping during the week, while the husband was at work. “Now men seem to do that as much as women,” said Jonathan Gershuny, a professor who took part in the study.Men also do more housework now on Sundays. Back in the 1960s, men were far more likely to spend Sundays out of the house — at the pub or playing football — before lunch.36.Many Britons have brunch at the restaurant because .A.They have no time to cook at home.B.They get up too late.C.They will go to church.D.They won’t bother to cook themselves.37.Which of the following is NOT true?A.British men did little housework at home in the past.B.Britons usually had a big lunch at home.C.British women did their shopping on Sundays in the past.D.Britons used to go to church on Sundays.38.The underlined word “ leisure” in Para 3 means .A. houseworkB. shoppingC. lunchD. free time39.The text mainly tells us .A.why Britons go shopping on SundaysB.what Britons did on SundaysC.How Britons spend their holidaysD.the changes of the ways the Britons spend their Sundays40.What can we infer (推断) from the passage?A.Men do more housework on Sundays.B.No people go to church on Sundays now.C.Sundays in Britain might be very boring in the past.D.Britons all go out on Sundays.Passage twoStanding alone at Brown's party, Anna Mackintosh thought about her husband Edward, establishing him clearly in her mind's eye. He was a thin man, forty-one years of age, with fair hair that was often untidy. In the seventeen years they'd been married he had changed very little: he was still nervous with other people, and smiled in the same shy way, and his face was still almost boyish.She believed she had failed him because he had wished for children and she had not been able to supply any. She had been annoyed for this fact over the years and in the end, quite some time now, she had consulted Dr Abbat at Edward's request.In the Browns' rich living room, its walls and ceiling giving out a bright light with a metallic surface of imitation gold, Anna listened to dance music coming from a tape recorder and continued to think about her husband.In a moment he would be at the party too, since they had agreed to meet there, although by now it was three quarters of an hour later than the time he had planned to come.The Browns were people he knew in a business way, and he had said he thought it wise that he and Anna should attend this gathering of theirs. She had never met them before, which made it more difficult for her, having to wait about, not knowing a soul in the room.When she thought about it she felt herself unfairly treated, for although Edward was kind to her and always had been, it was far from thoughtful to be as late as this. Because of her nervous condition she felt afraid and had developed a sickness in her stomach. She looked at her watch and sighed.41.W hat made Anna feel inadequate in her life?A.Her bad relationship with her husband.B.H er husband's youthful appearance.C.H er inability to have children.D.H er nervousness at parties.42.W hy did Anna stand alone at the party?A.Her husband's nervousness affected her.B.She didn't like the Browns.C.She wanted to enjoy the music.D.She didn't know anybody in the room.43.Anna started to get angry because .A.she wasn't feeling wellB.her husband had usually been more thoughtfulC.she hated to see the Browns' wealthD.she came to know that Mr. Brown was only a businessman44.Why did Edward want Anna to attend the party?A.He knew that he was going to be late.B.He believed she would impress the Browns.C.He thought it good for her to associate with the Browns.D.He wanted her to learn how to do business from the Browns.45.Which of the following statements is NOT true?A.Edward had changed very little in character and appearance in the seventeen years after he got married.B.Anna went to the Browns' house alone.C.Anna was very anxious to meet her husband.D.It was exactly half an hour after the party began that Edward arrived at the Browns' party.Passage threeThroughout the colonial period there was a remarkable shortage of women, which varied with the regions and was always greatest in the frontier areas. This shortage enhanced （提高）women's status and position and allowed them to pursue different careers. The puritans （清教徒）regarded idleness as a sin （罪恶）, and believed that life in an underdevelopment country made it necessary that each member of the community performed an economic function. Thus work for women was not only approved but also was regarded as a civic （公民的）duty. Puritan town councils expected widows and independent women to be self-supporting. There was no social prohibition against married women working; on the contrary, wives were expected to help their husbands in their trade and won social approval for doing extra work in or out of t he home.The vast majority of women worked within their homes, where their labor produced most articles needed for the family. The entire colonial production of cloth and clothing and p artly that of shoes was in the hands of women. In addition to these occupations, women were found in many different kinds of employment. They were butchers, silversmiths and gunsmiths. They ran mills, plantations, shipyards, and every kind of shop. They were gatekeepers, jail keepers, journalists, printers, nurses, and teachers.46.What does the passage mainly discuss?A.Colonial marriages.B.The puritan religion.C.Colonial women's employment.cation in the colonies.47.According to the passage, where in colonial North America were there the fewest women?A.Puritan communities.B.Seaports.C.Frontier settlements.D.Capital cities.48.It can be inferred from the passage that the Puritans were .A.uneducatedB.hardworkingC.generousD.wealthy49.According to the passage, Puritans believed that an unmarried adult woman should be .A.financially responsible for herselfB.returned to EnglandC.supported by her familyD.trained to be a nurse50.According to the passage, what did the Puritans expect from married women?A.They should adopt needy children.B.They should assist in their husbands' trade or business.C.They should work only within their own homes.D.They should be apprenticed.。

Choose among A, B, C, and D or between T and F to answer each question. Write the letter of your choice on your Answer Sheet.Passage 1Most of the people who appear most often and most gloriously in the history books are great conquerors and generals and soldiers, whereas the people who really helped civilization forward are often never mentioned at all. We do not know who first set a broken leg, or launched a seaworthy boat, or calculated the length of the year, or manured a field; but we know all about the killers and destroyers. People think a great deal of them, so much so that on all the highest pillars in the great cities of the world you will find the figure of a conqueror or a general or a soldier. And I think most people believe that the greatest countries ruled over them as conquerors. It is just possible they are, but they are not the most civilized. Animals fight; so do savages; hence to be good at fighting is to be good in the way in which an animal or a savage is good, but it is not to be civilized. Even being good at getting other people to fight for you and telling them how to do it most efficiently—this, after all, is what conquerors and generals have done—is not being civilized. People fight to settle quarrels. Fighting means killing, and civilized peoples ought to be able to find some way of settling their disputes other than by seeing which side can kill off the greater number of the other side, and then saying that that side which has killed most has won. And not only has it won, but, because it has won, it has been in the right. For that is what going to war means; it means saying that might is right.That is what the story of mankind has on the whole been like. Even our own age has fought the two greatest wars in history, in which millions of people were killed or mutilated. And while today it is true that people do not fight and kill each other in the streets—while, that is to say, we have got to the stage of keeping the rules and behaving properly to each other in daily life—nations and countries have not learnt to do this yet, and still behave like savages.But we must not expect too much. After all, the race of men has only just started. From the point of view of evolution, human beings are very young children indeed, babies, in fact, of a few months old. Scientists reckon that there has been life of some sort on the earth in the form of jelly-fish and that kind of creature for about twelve hundred million years; but there have been men for only one million years, and there have been civilized men for about eight thousand years at the outside. These figures are difficult to grasp; so let us scale them down. Suppose that we reckon the whole past of living creatures on the earth as one hundred years; then the whole past of man works out at about one month, and during that month there have been civilizations for between seven and eight hours. So you see there has been little time to learn in, but there will be oceans of time in which to learn better. Taking man’s civilized past at about seven or eight hours, we may estimate his future, that is to say, the whole period between now and when the sun grows too cold to maintain life any longer on the earth, at about one hundred thousand years. Thus mankind is only at the beginning of its civilized life, and as I say, we must not expect too much. The past of man has been on the whole a pretty beastly business, a business of fighting and bullying and gorging and grabbing and hurting. We must not expect even civilized peoples not to have done these things. All we can ask is that they will sometimes have done somethingelse.51. In the first sentence, the author says that .A.most history books were written by conquerors, generals and soldiersB.no one who really helped civilization forward is mentioned in any history bookC.history books tell us far more about conquerors and soldiers than about those who helpedcivilization forwardD.conquerors, generals and soldiers should not be mentioned in history books52. Most people believe that the greatest countries are .A.those that built the highest pillarsB.those that were beaten in battle by the greatest number of other countriesC.those that were ruled by the greatest number of conquerorsD.those that won the greatest number of battles against other countries53. The author says that civilized people .A.should not have any quarrels to settleB.should not fight when there are no quarrels to settleC.should settle their quarrels without fightingD.should settle their quarrels by seeing which side can kill off the greater number of the other side54. “Even our own age has fought the two greatest wars in history.” The author says this in order to show that our ownage is .A.different from those of the pastB.not much better than those of the pastC.much better than those of the pastD.not so civilized as those of the past55. The scale which the author uses for representing time is .A.one month=one million yearsB.one hundred years=eight thousand yearsC.one year=one million yearsD.one month=twelve hundred million yearsPassage 2The environment is everything that surrounds us: plants, animals, buildings, country, air, water—literally everything that can affect us in any way. The environment of a town, with its buildings and traffic and its noise and smells, where everyone is on top of everyone else, is a far cry from that of the countryside, with its fields and crops, its wild and domestic animals and its feeling of spaciousness. And the environment differs in different parts of the world.Ecology is the science of how living creatures and plants exist together and depend on each other and on local environment. Where an environment is undisturbed, the ecology of an area is in balance, but if a creature is exterminated or an alien species introduced, then the ecology of the district will be upset—in other words, the balance of nature will be disturbed.Man is a part of the environment and has done more to upset the ecology during his short span on earth than any other living creature. He has done this by his ignorance, his greed, and his wastefulness. He has poisoned the atmosphere and polluted both land and water. He has squandered the earth’s natural resources with no thought for the future, and he has thought out the most destructive ways of killing his fellow men—and every other sort of life at the same time. Since man has done so much damage, it is up to man to try to put matters right—if it is not already too late. If there is to be any remedy for our ills, that remedy ultimately lies in the hands of the young, and the sooner they start doing something about it, the better.One of t he main causes of the earth’s troubles is that the world is overpopulated and that this overpopulation is growing at an ever-increasing rate. At the same time we are using up our natural resources—fuels and mineral ores—at an ever-increasing rate with no hope of replacing them.For many years the earth has been unable to provide enough food for these rapidly expanding populations and the position is steadily deteriorating since the fertility of some of our richest soils has been lost and vast areas that were once fertile lands have turned into deserts. And the trouble with deserts is that they tend to creep outwards on to the fertile soils. What is now the northern Sahara Desert fed much of the civilised world 2,500 years ago.Even at this moment many of the earth’s natural treasures are being destroyed, many valuable animals and plants are being killed off, and it is becoming increasingly difficult to grow enough food to preserve much of the earth’s population from starvation. The situation is getting out of hand. Time is running out. But with your help, we may be able to reverse the trends which threaten our very existence.56. The environment of a town, …, is a far cry from that of the countryside….A. a great deal different fromB. a long distance fromC. a loud cry fromD. a cry from distance57. Man is a part of … and has done more to upset the ecology….A. turn…overB. cause…to be disturbedC. cause…to worryD. cause confusion to…58. … he has thought out the most destructive ways of killing hi s fellow men….A. colleaguesB. other members of the mankindC. countrymenD. men working for him59. If there is to be any remedy for our ills, that remedy ultimately lies in.…A. bad deedsB. illnessC. diseaseD. sickness60. One of the main caus es … is…that this overpopulation is growing at an ever-increasing rate.A. valueB. costC. speedD. charge or paymentPassage 3The people who lived in Rome 2,000 years ago were already complaining about the noise in their city. They couldn’t sleep, they said, with all that traffic in the streets. For them, noise was merely a disturbance. For us it has become a real danger. We know that the sounds of an average city are loud enough to cause serious damage to the inhabitants’ hearing—in the United States, one person out of twenty has suffered some hearing loss. And all over the world the situation is getting worse all the time, since noise increases with the population.Noise has also increased enormously in the 20th century with the development of machines. We live surrounded by loud planes, trucks, motorcycles, buses, electric tools, radios, pneumatic drills—that roar day and night up to 90 or 100 decibels. The decibel is the unit used to measure the loudness of sound. A normal conversation reaches 55 decibels, thunder roars at 70 decibels, a jet plane goes to 100 decibels and more, and an ordinary subway train, approaching the station, can be twice as loud as the loudest jet. The average discotheque reaches around 118 decibels. At 120 decibels the ear stops hearing sound, and pain starts.Unfortunately, the human ear does not judge clearly the degree of loudness of a noise. A sound ten decibels louder than another one is felt as twice as loud, when in fact it is ten times louder. Since we cannot measure the increase or decrease of noise, we never know to what danger we are exposed.But it is not only our hearing that is threatened. It has been established that loud noises, over a period of time, cause loss of sleep, anger, and many mental and physical problems. Such problems have been observed among factory workers, prisoners in large prisons, and people who drive heavy trucks, operate pneumatic drills, or go frequently to rock-and-roll concerts.Is there a solution? We do know how to build quieter machines, if the public wants them. But merchants point out that people who buy motorcycles, for instance, prefer the loudest ones because they sound more powerful. Some cities are trying to enforce more strictly their anti-noise laws. In Memphis automobilists are fined fifty dollars for honking; they may lose their right to drive if they do it again. People who carry noisy radios in public places may lose them if they are caught with them.Actually, it will take everybody’s efforts to keep city noises from incre asing. Even so, say the experts, in twenty years the cities will be twice as loud as they are today because of the growth of the population. The inhabitants will haveto shout to be heard at the dinner table. Unless, of course, they have all become completely deaf.61. The sounds of an average city won’t cause serious damage to the inhabitants’ hearing. F62. The development of machines is the only cause of the increase of noise . F63. The human ear cannot judge the loudness of a noise clearly. T64. We don’t know how to build quieter machines. F65. If everybody makes his efforts to keep city noises from increasing, the cities will become quieter in twenty years.FPassage 4Why all the fuss about inflation? True, some people are paying higher prices for goods, but this clearly means that some people are also being paid more. The problem is that inflation redistributes economic welfare. Those who have fixed incomes—perhaps a pension or interest from bonds—suffer because the standard of living their incomes will buy falls lower and lower. Workers whose salaries are fixed by law or by long-term contracts are injured in the same way. At the same time debtors and employers are better off. Old debts are being repaid with cheap money, money that can be earned with a fraction of the effort that they represented when borrowed initially. Employers are profiting because the prices of their products are rising while the cost of the most important input—labor—remains unchanged at the contracted wage. But inflation also affects the distribution of income in more subtle ways. Since the American tax system is progressive—since it takes a larger share of incomes in taxes as incomes increase—inflation redistributes income from private households to the public sector.Widespread use of labor contracts, which often extend over three or more years, has recently resulted in reductions in the real wages paid to some workers. This in turn has made production more profitable. If prices paid to firms rise with inflation while wages are fixed by a contract negotiated earlier, the firm will earn greater profits and wish to expand its output. Inflation affects both the functional distribution of income (the allocation between wages and profits) and the level of employment. This phenomenon may be analyzed formally within the framework of the theory of wage determination. If wages and prices are stated in nominal terms, the effect of inflation is to increase the marginal revenue product of labor. Marginal revenue product, you will recall, is the increase in total revenue that results from hiring an additional worker. If prices rise, so will marginal revenue product. But wages have been set after nights of shrill bargaining by union and management representatives, and the nominal wage rate remains constant in spite of the rise in prices. Workers are worse off, of course; moreover, the most profitable levels of employment and production increase. In order to restore equilibrium, the firm must increase employment until the nominal wage is again equal to marginal revenue product.Inflation also affects the level of national income. Through its effects on the share of incomes going into taxes, inflation changes the value of the multiplier. Over the past decade this change has been significant. Also, by altering the size of distribution of incomes, inflation is likely to influence the marginal propensity to consume, at least in the short run. Finally, inflation at home reduces the competitiveness of exports in foreign markets and, if not matched by foreign inflation, increases the attractiveness of imports. Both of these phenomena reduce domestic aggregate demand and thereby lower equilibrium between national income and employment. The net effect of inflation on national income is unclear. Some of its consequences are expansionary (its effects on labor markets), but others are contractionary (its impact on net exports). The precise implications of inflation thus depend on how strong each of these effects is.66. During inflation debtors and employees are better off. T67. As a result of inflation, employers are profiting because the prices of their products are rising but the cost of labor remains unchanged at the contracted wage T68. Long-term labor contracts protect labors from being injured by inflation. F69. Inflation also affects the level of national income by changing the value of the multiplier between incomes and taxes.T70. Inflation in a country discourages both export and import. TIV.

On Christmas Eve when Paul came out of his office, a street urchin was walking around the shiny new car, admiring it. “Is this your car, Mister” he asked.Paul nodded. “My brother gave it to me for Christmas.” The boy was astounded. “You mean your brother gave it to you and it didn’t cost you nothing Boy, I wish….” He hesitated.Of course Paul knew what he was going to wish for. He was going to wish he had a brother like that. But what the lad said jarred Paul all the way down to his heels.“I wish,” the boy went on, “that I could be a brother like that.”Paul looked at the boy in astonishment, then impulsively he added, “Would you like to take a ride in my automobile”“Oh yes, I’d love that.”After a short ride, the boy turned and with his eyes aglow, said, “Mister, would you mind driving in front of my house”Paul smiled a little. He thought he knew what the lad wanted. He wanted to show his neighbors that he could ride home in a big automobile. But Paul was wrong again. “Will you stop where those two steps are” the boy asked.He ran up the steps. Then in a little while Paul heard him coming back, but he was not coming fast. He was carrying his little crippled brother. He sat him down on the bottom step, then sort of squeezed up against him and pointed to the car.“There she is, Buddy, just like I told you upstairs. His brother gave it to him for Christmas and it didn’t cost him a cent. And some day I’m g onna give you one just like it…, then you can see for yourself all the pretty things in the Christmas windows that I’ve been trying to tell you about.”Paul got out and lifted the lad to the front seat of his car. The shining-eyed older brother climbed in beside him and the three of them began a memorable holiday ride. That Christmas Eve, Paul learned what Jesus meant when he had said: “It is more blessed to give….”51. “…a street urchin was walking around the shiny new car, admiring it” implies that he an automobile of this kind.

But it’s still unusual to find women doing dirty or heavy jobs.Nikki Henriques is a car maintenance engineer in London. She used to be a secretary. Barty Phillips, a journalist with The Observer, a Sunday newspaper, asked her why she wanted to work with cars.“My first reason was independence,” she said. “I also wanted to use my hands, and I like learning about how things work. Many people prefer to have a woman repair their cars, too.”Nikki didn’t find it easy to become a car maintenance engineer. She went to a Government Skill Centre—a special sort of college where people can learn a new job—for twenty weeks. “For ten weeks I was the only woman among four hundred men, and some of them were rude to me, just because of my sex. It was also very tiring—from 8 in the morning to 5 at night, with only 30 minutes for lunch.” Now Nikki works free-lance—that is, she’s self-employed, working for herself and not for a garage or a company.Barty Phillips also spoke to Rose, who works as a general builder in Sheffield, an industrial town in the north of England. Like Nikki, Rose used to be a secretary. “Ididn’t enjoy it at all,” she said. “I wanted to do more practical work, and I wanted to be self-employed.”Rose joined a women’s building co-operative, and she learnt her job from other people and from experience. However, many of the women in her group have been specially trained. Most of the jobs they do are improvements to buildings and general repairs.“People often say, ‘Oh, women aren’t strong enough,’ but I don’t think strength is important,” said Rose. “The important thing is to get used to doing a different sort of work.”Rose would like more women to come into the building industry. “Everything built at the moment is a product of man’s world. If women become builders, they will be able to understand the production of their houses and their towns.”56. There are laws in Britain to help women _____ D .A. get higher pay than menB. enjoy more freedom than menC. do whatever they like to doD. have equal chances with men in education and work57. The work of ____B__ is considered dirty or heavy.A. a newspaper journalistB. a car maintenance engineerC. a company managerD. an office secretary58. The job of a car maintenance engineer is to ___D______.A. manufacture carsB. sell carsC. keep cars for othersD. repair cars59. The most important reason for Nikki to be a car maintenance engineer is that____A__ .A. she wants to be independentB. she has to make her own livingC. she likes to use her handsD. she wants to get the same pay as men60. Rose, who works as a general builder, ______ C .A. believes women are as strong as menB. admits women are much weaker than menC. wants more women to become buildersD. thinks women can learn more from practical work。

On Christmas Eve when Paul came out of his office, a street urchin was walking around the shiny new car, admiring it. “Is this your car, Mister” he asked.Paul nodded. “My brother gave it to me for Christmas.” The boy was astounded. “You mean your brother gave it to you and it didn’t cost you nothing Boy, I wish….” He hesitated.Of course Paul knew what he was going to wish for. He was going to wish he had a brother like that. But what the lad said jarred Paul all the way down to his heels.“I wish,” the boy went on, “that I could be a brother like that.”Paul looked at the boy in astonishment, then impulsively he added, “Would you like to take a ride in my automobile”“Oh yes, I’d love that.”After a short ride, the boy turned and with his eyes aglow, said, “Mister, would you mind driving in front of my house”Paul smiled a little. He thought he knew what the lad wanted. He wanted to show his neighbors that he could ride home in a big automobile. But Paul was wrong again. “Will you stop where those two steps are” the boy asked.He ran up the steps. Then in a little while Paul heard him coming back, but he was not coming fast. He was carrying his little crippled brother. He sat him down on the bottom step, then sort of squeezed up against him and pointed to the car.“There she is, Buddy, just like I told you upstairs. His brother gave it to him for Christmas and it didn’t cost him a cent. And some day I’m gonna give you one just like it…, then you can see for y ourself all the pretty things in the Christmas windows that I’ve been trying to tell you about.”Paul got out and lifted the lad to the front seat of his car.

But it’s s till unusual to find women doing dirty or heavy jobs.Nikki Henriques is a car maintenance engineer in London. She used to be a secretary. Barty Phillips, a journalist with The Observer, a Sunday newspaper, asked her why she wanted to work with cars.“My first reason was independence,” she said. “I also wanted to use my hands, and I like learning about how things work. Many people prefer to have a woman repair their cars, too.”Nikki didn’t find it easy to become a car maintenance engineer. She went to a Government Skill Centre—a special sort of college where people can learn a new job—for twenty weeks. “For ten weeks I was the only woman among four hundred men, and some of them were rude to me, just because of my sex. It was also very tiring—from 8 in the morning to 5 at night, with only 30 minutes for lunch.” Now Nikki works free-lance—that is, she’s self-employed, working for herself and not for a garage or a company.Barty Phillips also spoke to Rose, who works as a general builder in Sheffield, an industrial town in the north of England. Like Nikki, Rose used to be a secretary. “I didn’t enjoy it at all,” she said. “I wanted to do more practical work, and I wanted to be self-employed.”Rose joined a women’s building co-operative, and she learnt her job from other people and from experience. However, many of the women in her group have been specially trained. Most of the jobs they do are improvements to buildings and general repairs.“People often say, ‘Oh, women aren’t strong enough,’ but I don’t think str ength is important,” said Rose. “The important thing is to get used to doing a different sort of work.”Rose would like more women to come into the building industry. “Everything built at the moment is a product of man’s world. If women become builders, th ey will be able to understand the production of their houses and their towns.”56. There are laws in Britain to help women _____ .A. get higher pay than menB. enjoy more freedom than menC. do whatever they like to doD. have equal chances with men in education and work57. The work of ______ is considered dirty or heavy.A. a newspaper journalistB. a car maintenance engineerC. a company managerD. an office secretary58.

About half of all people over 65 have 33 sleeping problems, such as insomnia, and deep sleep 34 in many 35 people often become very short or 36 completely.

But you can slow your rate of wrinkling by eating the right foods to keep the fat layers under your skin sufficiently plump to maintain a smooth complexion. For example, while one baked sweet potato, eight ounces of orange juice or ten potato chips provide about 100 calories, only the sweet potato and orange juice supply quality calories. The sweet potato is rich in vitamin A, which helps skin cells shed smoothly, and the juice provides vitamin C, which helps form collagen, the supportive substance that gives youthful skin its elastic quality. Good sources of vitamin A include dark-green, orange and deep-yellow vegetables, and orange-colored fruits. Citrus fruits are a good source of vitamin C.Drink plenty of water. Once you’re past your 20s, many of your skin’s natural moisturizers—sweat and oil glands—shut down, and the top layer of skin thins out. As a result, skin no longer holds moisture well. Also, if you don’t drink enough water to replace what you lose every day through urination and perspiration, your body pulls what it needs from your cells, including skin cells, resulting in drier, older-looking skin.To minimize dryness, drink at least eight to ten eight-ounce glasses of water a day. Don’t count drinks suc h as coffee, tea and cola as part of your daily intake. They contain caffeine, a diuretic that may increase water loss from the skin, as will alcohol.Another symptom of aging you can offset with diet is lowered resistance to illness. However, vitamin E may strengthen the immune system. In an American study, researcher Simin Meydani gave 32 healthy adults over age 60 large doses of vitamin E twice a day for a month. As a result, their lymphocyte function was significantly improved. Foods rich in vitamin E include dark-green, leafy vegetables, legumes, nuts and whole-grain cereals.Food is not a quick fix for aging. But a sound diet—plenty of fiber, water and vitamin-rich, deep-colored fruits and vegetables—is bound to have a positive effect on your overall health and looks.56.

Write the letter of your choice on your Answer Sheet.Passage 1Most of the people who appear most often and most gloriously in the history books are great conquerors and generals and soldiers, whereas the people who really helped civilization forward are often never mentioned at all. We do not know who first set a broken leg, or launched a seaworthy boat, or calculated the length of the year, or manured a field; but we know all about the killers and destroyers. People think a great deal of them, so much so that on all the highest pillars in the great cities of the world you will find the figure of a conqueror or a general or a soldier. And I think most people believe that the greatest countries ruled over them as conquerors. It is just possible they are, but they are not the most civilized.腹有诗书气自华Animals fight; so do savages; hence to be good at fighting is to be good in the way in which an animal or a savage is good, but it is not to be civilized. Even being good at getting other people to fight for you and telling them how to do it most efficiently—this, after all, is what conquerors and generals have done—is not being civilized. People fight to settle quarrels. Fighting means killing, and civilized peoples ought to be able to find some way of settling their disputes other than by seeing which side can kill off the greater number of the other side, and then saying that that side which has killed most has won. And not only has it won, but, because it has won, it has been in the right. For that is what going to war means; it means saying that might is right.That is what the story of mankind has on the whole been like. Even our own age has fought the two greatest wars in history, in which millions of people were killed or mutilated. And while today it is true that people do not fight and kill each other in the streets—while, that is to say, we have got to the stage of keeping the rules and behaving properly to each other in daily life—nations and countries have not learnt to do this yet, and still behave like savages.But we must not expect too much. After all, the race of men has only just started. From the point of view of evolution, human beings are very young children indeed, babies, in fact, of a few months old. Scientists reckon that there has been life of some sort on the earth in the form of jelly-fish and that kind of creature for about twelve hundred million years; but there have been men for only one million years, and there have been civilized men for about eight thousand years at the outside. These figures are difficult to grasp; so let us scale them down. Suppose that we reckon the whole past of living creatures on the earth as one hundred years; then the whole past of man works out at about one month, and during that month there have been civilizations for between seven and eight hours. So you see there has been little time to learn in, but there will be oceans of time in which to learn better. Taking man’s civilized past at about seven or eight hours, we may estimate his future, that is to say, the whole period between now and when the sun grows too cold to maintain life any longer on the earth, at about one hundred thousand years. Thus mankind is only at the beginning of its civilized life, and as I say, we must not expect too much. The past of man has been on the whole a pretty beastly business, a business of fighting and bullying and gorging and grabbing and hurting. We must not expect even civilized peoples not to have done these things. All we can ask is that they will sometimes have done something else.51. In the first sentence, the author says that .A.most history books were written by conquerors, generals and soldiersB.no one who really helped civilization forward is mentioned in any history bookC.history books tell us far more about conquerors and soldiers than about those who helpedcivilization forwardD.conquerors, generals and soldiers should not be mentioned in history books52. Most people believe that the greatest countries are .A.those that built the highest pillarsB.those that were beaten in battle by the greatest number of other countriesC.those that were ruled by the greatest number of conquerorsD.those that won the greatest number of battles against other countries53. The author says that civilized people .A.should not have any quarrels to settleB.should not fight when there are no quarrels to settleC.should settle their quarrels without fightingD.should settle their quarrels by seeing which side can kill off the greater number of the other side54. “Even our own age has fought the two greatest wars in history.” The author says this in order to show that our own age腹有诗书气自华is .A.different from those of the pastB.not much better than those of the pastC.much better than those of the pastD.not so civilized as those of the past55. The scale which the author uses for representing time is .A.one month=one million yearsB.one hundred years=eight thousand yearsC.one year=one million yearsD.one month=twelve hundred million yearsPassage 2The environment is everything that surrounds us: plants, animals, buildings, country, air, water—literally everything that can affect us in any way. The environment of a town, with its buildings and traffic and its noise and smells, where everyone is on top of everyone else, is a far cry from that of the countryside, with its fields and crops, its wild and domestic animals and its feeling of spaciousness. And the environment differs in different parts of the world.Ecology is the science of how living creatures and plants exist together and depend on each other and on local environment. Where an environment is undisturbed, the ecology of an area is in balance, but if a creature is exterminated or an alien species introduced, then the ecology of the district will be upset—in other words, the balance of nature will be disturbed.Man is a part of the environment and has done more to upset the ecology during his short span on earth than any other living creature. He has done this by his ignorance, his greed, and his wastefulness. He has poisoned the atmosphere and polluted both land and water. He has squandered the earth’s natural resources with no thought for the future, and he has thought out the most destructive ways of killing his fellow men—and every other sort of life at the same time.Since man has done so much damage, it is up to man to try to put matters right—if it is not already too late. If there is to be any remedy for our ills, that remedy ultimately lies in the hands of the young, and the sooner they start doing something about it, the better.One of t he main causes of the earth’s troubles is that the world is overpopulated and that this overpopulation is growing at an ever-increasing rate. At the same time we are using up our natural resources—fuels and mineral ores—at an ever-increasing rate with no hope of replacing them.For many years the earth has been unable to provide enough food for these rapidly expanding populations and the position is steadily deteriorating since the fertility of some of our richest soils has been lost and vast areas that were once fertile lands have turned into deserts. And the trouble with deserts is that they tend to creep outwards on to the fertile soils. What is now the northern Sahara Desert fed much of the civilised world 2,500 years ago.Even at this moment many of the earth’s natural treasures are being destroyed, many valuable animals and plants are being killed off, and it is becoming increasingly difficult to grow enough food to preserve much of the earth’s population fr om starvation. The situation is getting out of hand. Time is running out. But with your help, we may be able to reverse the trends which threaten our very existence.56. The environment of a town, …, is a far cry from that of the countryside….A. a great deal different fromB. a long distance fromC. a loud cry fromD. a cry from distance腹有诗书气自华57. Man is a part of … and has done more to upset the ecology….A. turn…overB. cause…to be disturbedC. cause…to worryD. cause confusion to…58. … he has thought out the most destructive ways of killing hi s fellow men….A. colleaguesB. other members of the mankindC. countrymenD. men working for him59.

One of the main caus es … is…that this overpopulation is growing at an ever-increasing rate.A. valueB. costC. speedD. charge or paymentPassage 3The people who lived in Rome 2,000 years ago were already complaining about the noise in their city. They couldn’t sleep, they said, with all that traffic in the streets. For them, noise was merely a disturbance. For us it has become a real danger. We know that the sounds of an average city are loud enough to cause serious damage to the inhabitants’ hearing—in the United States, one person out of twenty has suffered some hearing loss. And all over the world the situation is getting worse all the time, since noise increases with the population.Noise has also increased enormously in the 20th century with the development of machines. We live surrounded by loud planes, trucks, motorcycles, buses, electric tools, radios, pneumatic drills—that roar day and night up to 90 or 100 decibels. The decibel is the unit used to measure the loudness of sound. A normal conversation reaches 55 decibels, thunder roars at 70 decibels, a jet plane goes to 100 decibels and more, and an ordinary subway train, approaching the station, can be twice as loud as the loudest jet. The average discotheque reaches around 118 decibels. At 120 decibels the ear stops hearing sound, and pain starts.Unfortunately, the human ear does not judge clearly the degree of loudness of a noise. A sound ten decibels louder than another one is felt as twice as loud, when in fact it is ten times louder. Since we cannot measure the increase or decrease of noise, we never know to what danger we are exposed.But it is not only our hearing that is threatened. It has been established that loud noises, over a period of time, cause loss of sleep, anger, and many mental and physical problems. Such problems have been observed among factory workers, prisoners in large prisons, and people who drive heavy trucks, operate pneumatic drills, or go frequently to rock-and-roll concerts.Is there a solution? We do know how to build quieter machines, if the public wants them. But merchants point out that people who buy motorcycles, for instance, prefer the loudest ones because they sound more powerful. Some cities are trying to enforce more strictly their anti-noise laws. In Memphis automobilists are fined fifty dollars for honking; they may lose their right to drive if they do it again. People who carry noisy radios in public places may lose them if they are caught with them.Actually, it will take everybody’s efforts to keep city noises from incre asing. Even so, say the experts, in twenty years the cities will be twice as loud as they are today because of the growth of the population. The inhabitants will have to shout to be heard at the dinner table. Unless, of course, they have all become completely deaf.61. The sounds of an average city won’t cause serious damage to the inhabitants’ hearing.F62. The development of machines is the only cause of the increase of noise.F63. The human ear cannot judge the loudness of a noise clearly.T64. We don’t know how to build quieter machines.F腹有诗书气自华65. If everybody makes his efforts to keep city noises from increasing, the cities will become quieter in twenty years.FPassage 4Why all the fuss about inflation? True, some people are paying higher prices for goods, but this clearly means that some people are also being paid more. The problem is that inflation redistributes economic welfare. Those who have fixed incomes—perhaps a pension or interest from bonds—suffer because the standard of living their incomes will buy falls lower and lower. Workers whose salaries are fixed by law or by long-term contracts are injured in the same way. At the same time debtors and employers are better off. Old debts are being repaid with cheap money, money that can be earned with a fraction of the effort that they represented when borrowed initially. Employers are profiting because the prices of their products are rising while the cost of the most important input—labor—remains unchanged at the contracted wage. But inflation also affects the distribution of income in more subtle ways. Since the American tax system is progressive—since it takes a larger share of incomes in taxes as incomes increase—inflation redistributes income from private households to the public sector.Widespread use of labor contracts, which often extend over three or more years, has recently resulted in reductions in the real wages paid to some workers. This in turn has made production more profitable. If prices paid to firms rise with inflation while wages are fixed by a contract negotiated earlier, the firm will earn greater profits and wish to expand its output. Inflation affects both the functional distribution of income (the allocation between wages and profits) and the level of employment. This phenomenon may be analyzed formally within the framework of the theory of wage determination. If wages and prices are stated in nominal terms, the effect of inflation is to increase the marginal revenue product of labor. Marginal revenue product, you will recall, is the increase in total revenue that results from hiring an additional worker. If prices rise, so will marginal revenue product. But wages have been set after nights of shrill bargaining by union and management representatives, and the nominal wage rate remains constant in spite of the rise in prices. Workers are worse off, of course; moreover, the most profitable levels of employment and production increase. In order to restore equilibrium, the firm must increase employment until the nominal wage is again equal to marginal revenue product.Inflation also affects the level of national income. Through its effects on the share of incomes going into taxes, inflation changes the value of the multiplier. Over the past decade this change has been significant. Also, by altering the size of distribution of incomes, inflation is likely to influence the marginal propensity to consume, at least in the short run. Finally, inflation at home reduces the competitiveness of exports in foreign markets and, if not matched by foreign inflation, increases the attractiveness of imports. Both of these phenomena reduce domestic aggregate demand and thereby lower equilibrium between national income and employment. The net effect of inflation on national income is unclear. Some of its consequences are expansionary (its effects on labor markets), but others are contractionary (its impact on net exports). The precise implications of inflation thus depend on how strong each of these effects is.66. During inflation debtors and employees are better off.T67. As a result of inflation, employers are profiting because the prices of their products are rising but the cost of labor remains unchanged at the contracted wageT68. Long-term labor contracts protect labors from being injured by inflation.F69. Inflation also affects the level of national income by changing the value of the multiplier between incomes and taxes.T70. Inflation in a country discourages both export and import.TIV. Translate the following sentences into Chinese. (10%)71. In Japan’s capital city of Tokyo, earthquake danger limits the height of building.腹有诗书气自华.在日本首都东京，地震危险限制了建筑高度。

today.During the first few decacdes of the twentieth century，canned and convenience foods freed the family cook from full-time duty at the kitchen range.Then，in the 1940s，work in the wartime defense plants took more women out of the home than ever before，setting the pattern of the working wife and mother.Today about half of the country's married women are employed outside the home.But，unless family members pitch in with food preparation，women are not fully liberated from that chore.Instead many have become，in a sense，prisoners of the completely cooked convenience meal.It is easier to pick up a bucket of fried chicken on the way home from work or to take the family out for pizzas，or burgers than to start opening cans or heating up frozen dinners after a long，hard day.Also，the rising divorce rate means that there are more single working parents with children to feed.And many young adults and elderly people，as well as unmarried and divorced mature people，live alone rather than as part of a family unit and don't want to bother cooking for one.Fast food is appealing because it is fast，it doesn't require any dressing up，and it offers a"fun"break.21、American women left home to

Choose among A, B, C, and D or between T and F to answer each question. Write the letter of your choice on your Answer Sheet.Passage 1Most of the people who appear most often and most gloriously in the history books are great conquerors and generals and soldiers, whereas the people who really helped civilization forward are often never mentioned at all. We do not know who first set a broken leg, or launched a seaworthy boat, or calculated the length of the year, or manured a field; but we know all about the killers and destroyers. People think a great deal of them, so much so that on all the highest pillars in the great cities of the world you will find the figure of a conqueror or a general or a soldier. And I think most people believe that the greatest countries ruled over them as conquerors. It is just possible they are, but they are not the most civilized.腹有诗书气自华Animals fight; so do savages; hence to be good at fighting is to be good in the way in which an animal or a savage is good, but it is not to be civilized. Even being good at getting other people to fight for you and telling them how to do it most efficiently—this, after all, is what conquerors and generals have done—is not being civilized. People fight to settle quarrels. Fighting means killing, and civilized peoples ought to be able to find some way of settling their disputes other than by seeing which side can kill off the greater number of the other side, and then saying that that side which has killed most has won. And not only has it won, but, because it has won, it has been in the right. For that is what going to war means; it means saying that might is right.That is what the story of mankind has on the whole been like. Even our own age has fought the two greatest wars in history, in which millions of people were killed or mutilated. And while today it is true that people do not fight and kill each other in the streets—while, that is to say, we have got to the stage of keeping the rules and behaving properly to each other in daily life—nations and countries have not learnt to do this yet, and still behave like savages.But we must not expect too much. After all, the race of men has only just started. From the point of view of evolution, human beings are very young children indeed, babies, in fact, of a few months old. Scientists reckon that there has been life of some sort on the earth in the form of jelly-fish and that kind of creature for about twelve hundred million years; but there have been men for only one million years, and there have been civilized men for about eight thousand years at the outside. These figures are difficult to grasp; so let us scale them down. Suppose that we reckon the whole past of living creatures on the earth as one hundred years; then the whole past of man works out at about one month, and during that month there have been civilizations for between seven and eight hours. So you see there has been little time to learn in, but there will be oceans of time in which to learn better. Taking man’s civilized past at about seven or eight hours, we may estimate his future, that is to say, the whole period between now and when the sun grows too cold to maintain life any longer on the earth, at about one hundred thousand years. Thus mankind is only at the beginning of its civilized life, and as I say, we must not expect too much. The past of man has been on the whole a pretty beastly business, a business of fighting and bullying and gorging and grabbing and hurting. We must not expect even civilized peoples not to have done these things. All we can ask is that they will sometimes have done something else.51. In the first sentence, the author says that .A.most history books were written by conquerors, generals and soldiersB.no one who really helped civilization forward is mentioned in any history bookC.history books tell us far more about conquerors and soldiers than about those who helpedcivilization forwardD.conquerors, generals and soldiers should not be mentioned in history books52. Most people believe that the greatest countries are .A.those that built the highest pillarsB.those that were beaten in battle by the greatest number of other countriesC.those that were ruled by the greatest number of conquerorsD.those that won the greatest number of battles against other countries53. The author says that civilized people .A.should not have any quarrels to settleB.should not fight when there are no quarrels to settleC.should settle their quarrels without fightingD.should settle their quarrels by seeing which side can kill off the greater number of the other side54. “Even our own age has fought the two greatest wars in history.” The author says this in order to show that our own age腹有诗书气自华is .A.different from those of the pastB.not much better than those of the pastC.much better than those of the pastD.not so civilized as those of the past55. The scale which the author uses for representing time is .A.one month=one million yearsB.one hundred years=eight thousand yearsC.one year=one million yearsD.one month=twelve hundred million yearsPassage 2The environment is everything that surrounds us: plants, animals, buildings, country, air, water—literally everything that can affect us in any way. The environment of a town, with its buildings and traffic and its noise and smells, where everyone is on top of everyone else, is a far cry from that of the countryside, with its fields and crops, its wild and domestic animals and its feeling of spaciousness. And the environment differs in different parts of the world.Ecology is the science of how living creatures and plants exist together and depend on each other and on local environment. Where an environment is undisturbed, the ecology of an area is in balance, but if a creature is exterminated or an alien species introduced, then the ecology of the district will be upset—in other words, the balance of nature will be disturbed.Man is a part of the environment and has done more to upset the ecology during his short span on earth than any other living creature. He has done this by his ignorance, his greed, and his wastefulness. He has poisoned the atmosphere and polluted both land and water. He has squandered the earth’s natural resources with no thought for the future, and he has thought out the most destructive ways of killing his fellow men—and every other sort of life at the same time.Since man has done so much damage, it is up to man to try to put matters right—if it is not already too late. If there is to be any remedy for our ills, that remedy ultimately lies in the hands of the young, and the sooner they start doing something about it, the better.One of t he main causes of the earth’s troubles is that the world is overpopulated and that this overpopulation is growing at an ever-increasing rate. At the same time we are using up our natural resources—fuels and mineral ores—at an ever-increasing rate with no hope of replacing them.For many years the earth has been unable to provide enough food for these rapidly expanding populations and the position is steadily deteriorating since the fertility of some of our richest soils has been lost and vast areas that were once fertile lands have turned into deserts. And the trouble with deserts is that they tend to creep outwards on to the fertile soils. What is now the northern Sahara Desert fed much of the civilised world 2,500 years ago.Even at this moment many of the earth’s natural treasures are being destroyed, many valuable animals and plants are being killed off, and it is becoming increasingly difficult to grow enough food to preserve much of the earth’s population fr om starvation. The situation is getting out of hand. Time is running out. But with your help, we may be able to reverse the trends which threaten our very existence.56.

They couldn’t sleep, they said, with all that traffic in the streets. For them, noise was merely a disturbance. For us it has become a real danger. We know that the sounds of an average city are loud enough to cause serious damage to the inhabitants’ hearing—in the United States, one person out of twenty has suffered some hearing loss. And all over the world the situation is getting worse all the time, since noise increases with the population.Noise has also increased enormously in the 20th century with the development of machines. We live surrounded by loud planes, trucks, motorcycles, buses, electric tools, radios, pneumatic drills—that roar day and night up to 90 or 100 decibels. The decibel is the unit used to measure the loudness of sound. A normal conversation reaches 55 decibels, thunder roars at 70 decibels, a jet plane goes to 100 decibels and more, and an ordinary subway train, approaching the station, can be twice as loud as the loudest jet. The average discotheque reaches around 118 decibels. At 120 decibels the ear stops hearing sound, and pain starts.Unfortunately, the human ear does not judge clearly the degree of loudness of a noise. A sound ten decibels louder than another one is felt as twice as loud, when in fact it is ten times louder. Since we cannot measure the increase or decrease of noise, we never know to what danger we are exposed.But it is not only our hearing that is threatened. It has been established that loud noises, over a period of time, cause loss of sleep, anger, and many mental and physical problems. Such problems have been observed among factory workers, prisoners in large prisons, and people who drive heavy trucks, operate pneumatic drills, or go frequently to rock-and-roll concerts.Is there a solution? We do know how to build quieter machines, if the public wants them. But merchants point out that people who buy motorcycles, for instance, prefer the loudest ones because they sound more powerful. Some cities are trying to enforce more strictly their anti-noise laws. In Memphis automobilists are fined fifty dollars for honking; they may lose their right to drive if they do it again. People who carry noisy radios in public places may lose them if they are caught with them.Actually, it will take everybody’s efforts to keep city noises from incre asing. Even so, say the experts, in twenty years the cities will be twice as loud as they are today because of the growth of the population. The inhabitants will have to shout to be heard at the dinner table. Unless, of course, they have all become completely deaf.61. The sounds of an average city won’t cause serious damage to the inhabitants’ hearing.F62. The development of machines is the only cause of the increase of noise.F63. The human ear cannot judge the loudness of a noise clearly.T64. We don’t know how to build quieter machines.F腹有诗书气自华65. If everybody makes his efforts to keep city noises from increasing, the cities will become quieter in twenty years.FPassage 4Why all the fuss about inflation? True, some people are paying higher prices for goods, but this clearly means that some people are also being paid more. The problem is that inflation redistributes economic welfare. Those who have fixed incomes—perhaps a pension or interest from bonds—suffer because the standard of living their incomes will buy falls lower and lower. Workers whose salaries are fixed by law or by long-term contracts are injured in the same way. At the same time debtors and employers are better off. Old debts are being repaid with cheap money, money that can be earned with a fraction of the effort that they represented when borrowed initially. Employers are profiting because the prices of their products are rising while the cost of the most important input—labor—remains unchanged at the contracted wage. But inflation also affects the distribution of income in more subtle ways. Since the American tax system is progressive—since it takes a larger share of incomes in taxes as incomes increase—inflation redistributes income from private households to the public sector.Widespread use of labor contracts, which often extend over three or more years, has recently resulted in reductions in the real wages paid to some workers. This in turn has made production more profitable. If prices paid to firms rise with inflation while wages are fixed by a contract negotiated earlier, the firm will earn greater profits and wish to expand its output. Inflation affects both the functional distribution of income (the allocation between wages and profits) and the level of employment. This phenomenon may be analyzed formally within the framework of the theory of wage determination. If wages and prices are stated in nominal terms, the effect of inflation is to increase the marginal revenue product of labor. Marginal revenue product, you will recall, is the increase in total revenue that results from hiring an additional worker. If prices rise, so will marginal revenue product. But wages have been set after nights of shrill bargaining by union and management representatives, and the nominal wage rate remains constant in spite of the rise in prices. Workers are worse off, of course; moreover, the most profitable levels of employment and production increase. In order to restore equilibrium, the firm must increase employment until the nominal wage is again equal to marginal revenue product.Inflation also affects the level of national income. Through its effects on the share of incomes going into taxes, inflation changes the value of the multiplier. Over the past decade this change has been significant. Also, by altering the size of distribution of incomes, inflation is likely to influence the marginal propensity to consume, at least in the short run. Finally, inflation at home reduces the competitiveness of exports in foreign markets and, if not matched by foreign inflation, increases the attractiveness of imports. Both of these phenomena reduce domestic aggregate demand and thereby lower equilibrium between national income and employment. The net effect of inflation on national income is unclear. Some of its consequences are expansionary (its effects on labor markets), but others are contractionary (its impact on net exports). The precise implications of inflation thus depend on how strong each of these effects is.66. During inflation debtors and employees are better off.T67. As a result of inflation, employers are profiting because the prices of their products are rising but the cost of labor remains unchanged at the contracted wageT68. Long-term labor contracts protect labors from being injured by inflation.F69. Inflation also affects the level of national income by changing the value of the multiplier between incomes and taxes.T70. Inflation in a country discourages both export and import.TIV.

And even if a person is poor he doesn’t feel really poor 37 he has a car.There are three main reasons the car became so popular in the United States. 38 of all the country is a huge one and Americans like to move around in it. The car provides the most comfortable and 39 form of transportation. With a car people can go any place without spending a lot of money.The second reason cars are popular is the fact 40 the United States never developed an efficient and inexpensive form of public 41 . Long-distance trains have never been as common in the United States as they are in other parts of the world. Nowadays there is a good system of air-service 42 by planes. But it is too expensive to be used frequently.The third reason is the most important one, though. The American spirit of independence is 43 really made cars popular. Americans don’t like to wait for a bus, or a train or even a plane. They don’t like to have to 44 an exact schedule. A car gives them the freedom to schedule their own time.

On Christmas Eve when Paul came out of his office, a street urchin was walking around the shiny new car, admiring it. “Is this your car, Mister?” he asked.Paul nodded. “My brother gave it to me for Christmas.” The boy was astounded. “You mean your brother gave it to you and it d idn’t cost you nothing? Boy, I wish….” He hesitated.Of course Paul knew what he was going to wish for. He was going to wish he had a brother like that. But what the lad said jarred Paul all the way down to his heels.“I wish,” the boy went on, “that I could be a brother like that.”Paul looked at the boy in astonishment, then impulsively he added, “Would you like to take a ride in my automobile?”“Oh yes, I’d love that.”After a short ride, the boy turned and with his eyes aglow, said, “Mister, would you m ind driving in front of my house?”Paul smiled a little. He thought he knew what the lad wanted. He wanted to show his neighbors that he could ride home in a big automobile. But Paul was wrong again. “Will you stop where those two steps are?” the boy asked.He ran up the steps. Then in a little while Paul heard him coming back, but he was not coming fast. He was carrying his little crippled brother. He sat him down on the bottom step, then sort of squeezed up against him and pointed to the car.“There she i s, Buddy, just like I told you upstairs. His brother gave it to him for Christmas and it didn’t cost him a cent. And some day I’m gonna give you one just like it…, then you can see for yourself all the pretty things in the Christmas windows that I’ve been trying to tell you about.”Paul got out and lifted the lad to the front seat of his car.

They couldn’t sleep, they said, with all that traffic in the streets. For them, noise was merely a disturbance. For us it has become a real danger. We know that the sounds of an averagecity are loud enough to cause serious dam age to the inhabitants’ hearing—in the United States, one person out of twenty has suffered some hearing loss. And all over the world the situation is getting worse all the time, since noise increases with the population.Noise has also increased enormously in the 20th century with the development of machines. We live surrounded by loud planes, trucks, motorcycles, buses, electric tools, radios, pneumatic drills—that roar day and night up to 90 or 100 decibels. The decibel is the unit used to measure the loudness of sound. A normal conversation reaches 55 decibels, thunder roars at 70 decibels, a jet plane goes to 100 decibels and more, and an ordinary subway train, approaching the station, can be twice as loud as the loudest jet. The average discotheque reaches around 118 decibels. At 120 decibels the ear stops hearing sound, and pain starts.Unfortunately, the human ear does not judge clearly the degree of loudness of a noise. A sound ten decibels louder than another one is felt as twice as loud, when in fact it is ten times louder. Since we cannot measure the increase or decrease of noise, we never know to what danger we are exposed.But it is not only our hearing that is threatened. It has been established that loud noises, over a period of time, cause loss of sleep, anger, and many mental and physical problems.

People who have more of a good than they want seek out other people who have something they lack. Through exchange, both parties attempt to make themselves better off. The complications of international trade arise because the two parties use different monies. An American who wants to buy a Japanese automobile cannot expect the Japanese manufacturer to accept U.S dollars in payment, unless by sheer coincidence the manufacturer happens at the time to want to buy a new computer from an American firm. Otherwise the auto manufacturer will be stuck with money that no tempura shop or geisha in Tokyo will accept; in Japan the dollars are useless.Of course, things are rarely as complicated as is suggested above. In both the United States and Japan there are banks that specialize in buying and selling foreign currencies. The sophisticated American would never offer dollars to the Japanese. Instead he would go to his bank and purchase Japanese yen with his dollars, then offer yen in payment for the car. Availability of yen would then make trade with Japan no more complicated than buying groceries at a neighborhood supermarket. But what is the price of yen? This question is more than slightly important. If yen are cheap—if many can be bought for a dollar—then buying Japanese goods will be attractive to Americans, and American goods will be expensive to Japanese buyers.The quantities of goods exchanged between two countries depend on complex forces. Even though unfettered trade might allow the world to consume more, each country is likely to be more concerned about employment and incomes at home than about economist’s assurances of the efficiency of trade. Both countries may therefore try to encourage exports and discourage imports. Obviously, both countries cannot succeed at once.There is another side of the situation for many countries—the developing countries especially, but also small island nations, such as Japan and Great Britain. Their ability to import goods in the future may be as important as economic efficiency and full employment in the present. These countries depend on imports of spare parts, equipment, and raw material to keep their economies operating. Not to have the foreign exchange to buy a new bearing for a steam turbine, or oil, or fertilizer, when the need arises is a risk they simply cannot afford. For this reason, countries, even rich countries, try to keep reserves of foreign currencies around. Just as individuals keep savings to meet emergencies and to cover payments on the television if they are laid off, so do nations attempt to maintain hoards of foreign currencies to cover unexpected events.The price of any foreign currency expressed in the local currency (say, dollars) is thus a major issue. And it is closely tied to the need to maintain reserves and the desire to manage certain aspects of the domestic economy. Over the past two centuries, a number of international monetary systems have been set up to deal with these questions. All have proved inadequate. The interests of some countries inevitably conflict with the interests of others, and so the system collapses. But in spite of its limitations and faults, the international financial system is important to all of us.56. Through exchange, both parties attempt to make themselves better off.A. a gathering of people for food and amusementB. an association of people having the same political aimsC. a group of people doing something togetherD. one of the people o r sides i n an agreement or argumen t57.

Th e city has spread out so far and the traffic has become so heavy that it is very difficult to get from one place to another. The price of land, too, has skyrocketed. All this explains why a group of Japanese land developers came to the conclusion that there was nowhere to go but down. So far they have dug out space underground from fifteen major shopping centers, and the underground construction has only begun.What are some of the advantages of shopping and eating underground? Clean, filtered air is one of them. The city of Tokyo has one of the most serious smog problems in the world. Another advantage is that you escape the ever-present threat of traffic accidents on the city’s busy streets. Still another is the convenience of getting around: You’re usuall y right next to, or even in, a subway station. And you can even spend the night underground if you like. The Kyobashi Station, for example, in downtown Tokyo, has a hotel with a bar, restaurant, and barbershop.All sorts of surprises can be found in the underground world. At the enormous Shinjuku Subway Station you arrive at a scarce item in Tokyo—a parking lot—and you find stores and shops a few steps away. In the second basement of the Toshiba Building is a “Fisherman’s Wharf” crowded with pleasant little seafood places. A tunnel that connects the Hibiya and Sanshin Buildings has a number of art galleries, as well as medical and dental clinics. In between are little coffee shops where you can relax and get refreshments.Probably the most versatile of the underground wonders, and certainly the most complicated to build, is the Yaesu Subcenter at the heart of the city, where four subway lines link up. Its shopping area, which is the size of three football fields, contains 350 stores. In Yaesu you can eat in a different place every day for three months. You can draw money out of a bank and invest it at a stockbroker’s office. There are tailors, watch repairers, furriers, florists, and book sellers. And you can even get arrested by a police officer from the Yaesu police station!Under all the commercial activity is a parking lot for 520 cars. And under that is a control center where TV monitors watch the devices that watch the air—its temperature, moisture, and purity. There is no alarm for earthquakes, which are common in Tokyo, but the experts feel that there would be fewer problems underground than on the surface in case of an earthquake. Yaesu also has emergency generators for power and a chemical system for fighting fire.Underground construction can be complex and expensive. At times, the Yaesu crews could work only three hours a day because their activities interfered with the running of the subway. Then there was the problem caused by finding unidentified water and gas pipes. Since many of the municipal blueprints of pipe systems were destroyed during World War II, strange pipes keptturning up; and work had to be stopped while they were identified and taken care of by detour or replacement.There was also some resistance from the people above ground. A good many neighborhood shopkeepers began to picket the project crying, “Underground is for moles.” They reasoned that they would lose a lot of their business to the underground competition. The Yaesu people countered by offering them a chance to buy stock in the project. There were a lot of takers, and this had the effect of quieting the complainers.The Yaesu builders wanted to go deeper, but after they had spent 31 million dollars, they ran out of money. Still, there seems to be little doubt that there will be further development down under. In a city like Tokyo, almost the only space left is underground.61.

It will be available for hire, a sort of U-FLY-IT laboratory.Unlike a satellite built for a single job, Spacelab can be fitted out as the occasion demands for everything from observing X-rays from distant stars to growing enzymes in zero gravity. Unlike Apollo vehicles, which were good for one trip each, this Spacelab is designed to be used again and again, perhaps 50 times. Unlike earlier space ships, manned by specialized astronauts, Spacelab will have as crews scientists and technicians with just a few weeks’ training in handling the gear they are to operate in the craft.The versatility of Spacelab lies in its flexible design. A space-age adaptation of the “containerized” cargo units used on trailer trucks, railroad flatcars and ships, it consists of two different types of cargo containers that fit into a 60-foot-long enclosed “payload bay”. The bay can hold one or two enclosed modules, each 8.5 feet long and 13 feet in diameter and pressurized so that it provides an interior environment comfortable enough for as many as four technicians to work in side. Or the bay can be filled with up to five open “pallets,” platforms that are not pressurized for human occupancy but are meant simply to support automatic equipment. Most often, of course, Spacelab will carry both types of containers—a module for scientists doing laboratory work alongwith open pallets for automatic instruments exposed to the void of space.A majority of the tests planned inside a gravity-free laboratory involve the processing of materials in space—glass, crystal and metal. The equipment for this work includes a small furnace capable of generating temperatures as high as 2,400℃. With it, scientists hope to determine whether molten metals can be blended into exotic alloys more readily and uniformly outside earth’s gravity, which pulls heavier elements to the bottom of a crucible. Conventional crucibles, which impose their shape on melted material, will not be needed in space. The melt will float freely inside the gravity-free furnace.Many investigations will concentrate on the solar system. One experiment, using special fluids and electrical forces, will simulate the atmosphere of Jupiter, Saturn and the sun to try to understand what makes their cloud and gas patterns behave the way they do. Among biological experiments planned is one to study the effects of weightlessness on human tissue, such as components of blood samples taken from technicians working in the Spacelab. Some scientists have designed a test to see how zero gravity affects the daily growth patterns of plants. If such experiments go as well as anticipated, scientists the world over will find opening up for them a completely new era of research.66.

Richard Herrick was very ill (32) a serious kidney disease. His case seemed hopeless and his death was certain. However, Richard had an (33) twin brother named Ronald. Doctors thought that maybe one of Ronald’s kidneys would (34) for Richard, and (35) a person can live a healthy life with only one kidney, they decided to (36) the operation. A kidney was (37) from the healthy twin to the sick one, and then doctors waited to see if R ichard’s body would (38) or reject its new kidney.

Each passage is followed by some True-False questions or Multiple-Choice questions. Choose among A, B, C, and D or between T and F to answer each question. Write the letter of your choice on your Answer Sheet.Passage 1The people who lived in Rome 2,000 years ago were already complaining about the noise in their city. They couldn’t sleep, they said, with all that traffic in the streets. For them, noise was merely a disturbance. For us it has become a real danger. We know that the sounds of an averagecity are loud enough to cause serious dam age to the inhabitants’ hearing—in the United States, one person out of twenty has suffered some hearing loss. And all over the world the situation is getting worse all the time, since noise increases with the population.Noise has also increased enormously in the 20th century with the development of machines. We live surrounded by loud planes, trucks, motorcycles, buses, electric tools, radios, pneumatic drills—that roar day and night up to 90 or 100 decibels. The decibel is the unit used to measure the loudness of sound. A normal conversation reaches 55 decibels, thunder roars at 70 decibels, a jet plane goes to 100 decibels and more, and an ordinary subway train, approaching the station, can be twice as loud as the loudest jet. The average discotheque reaches around 118 decibels. At 120 decibels the ear stops hearing sound, and pain starts.Unfortunately, the human ear does not judge clearly the degree of loudness of a noise. A sound ten decibels louder than another one is felt as twice as loud, when in fact it is ten times louder. Since we cannot measure the increase or decrease of noise, we never know to what danger we are exposed.But it is not only our hearing that is threatened. It has been established that loud noises, over a period of time, cause loss of sleep, anger, and many mental and physical problems. Such problems have been observed among factory workers, prisoners in large prisons, and people who drive heavy trucks, operate pneumatic drills, or go frequently to rock-and-roll concerts.Is there a solution? We do know how to build quieter machines, if the public wants them. But merchants point out that people who buy motorcycles, for instance, prefer the loudest ones because they sound more powerful. Some cities are trying to enforce more strictly their anti-noise laws. In Memphis automobilists are fined fifty dollars for honking; they may lose their right to drive if they do it again. People who carry noisy radios in public places may lose them if they are caught with them.Actually, it will take everybody’s efforts to keep city noises from increasing. Even so, say the experts, in twenty years the cities will be twice as loud as they are today because of the growth of the population. The inhabitants will have to shout to be heard at the dinner table. Unless, of course, they have all become completely deaf.51. For them, noise was merely a disturbance.A. onlyB. only … and nothing elseC. notD. not only52. …that roar day and night up to 90 or 100 decibels.A. as loud asB. louder thanC. higher thanD. go up53. It has been establi shed that loud noises, …, cause loss of sleep, anger and many….A. result fromB. resultC. becauseD. lead to54. We do know how they build quieter machines, if the public wants them.A. machines making people quieterB. calm machinesC. machines making less noiseD. silent machines55. Actually, it will take everybody’s efforts to keep city noises from increasing.A. go on increasingB. prevent…from increasingC. keep…increasingD. stop…o increasePassage 2In many respects international trade is no different from trade within a country. People who have more of a good than they want seek out other people who have something they lack. Through exchange, both parties attempt to make themselves better off. The complications of international trade arise because the two parties use different monies. An American who wants to buy a Japanese automobile cannot expect the Japanese manufacturer to accept U.S dollars in payment, unless by sheer coincidence the manufacturer happens at the time to want to buy a new computer from an American firm. Otherwise the auto manufacturer will be stuck with money that no tempura shop or geisha in Tokyo will accept; in Japan the dollars are useless.Of course, things are rarely as complicated as is suggested above. In both the United States and Japan there are banks that specialize in buying and selling foreign currencies. The sophisticated American would never offer dollars to the Japanese. Instead he would go to his bank and purchase Japanese yen with his dollars, then offer yen in payment for the car. Availability of yen would then make trade with Japan no more complicated than buying groceries at a neighborhood supermarket. But what is the price of yen? This question is more than slightly important. If yen are cheap—if many can be bought for a dollar—then buying Japanese goods will be attractive to Americans, and American goods will be expensive to Japanese buyers.The quantities of goods exchanged between two countries depend on complex forces. Even though unfettered trade might allow the world to consume more, each country is likely to be more concerned about employment and incomes at home than about economist’s assurances of the efficiency of trade. Both countries may therefore try to encourage exports and discourage imports. Obviously, both countries cannot succeed at once.There is another side of the situation for many countries—the developing countries especially, but also small island nations, such as Japan and Great Britain. Their ability to import goods in the future may be as important as economic efficiency and full employment in the present. These countries depend on imports of spare parts, equipment, and raw material to keep their economies operating. Not to have the foreign exchange to buy a new bearing for a steam turbine, or oil, or fertilizer, when the need arises is a risk they simply cannot afford. For this reason, countries, even rich countries, try to keep reserves of foreign currencies around. Just as individuals keep savings to meet emergencies and to cover payments on the television if they are laid off, so do nations attempt to maintain hoards of foreign currencies to cover unexpected events.The price of any foreign currency expressed in the local currency (say, dollars) is thus a major issue. And it is closely tied to the need to maintain reserves and the desire to manage certain aspects of the domestic economy. Over the past two centuries, a number of international monetary systems have been set up to deal with these questions. All have proved inadequate. The interests of some countries inevitably conflict with the interests of others, and so the system collapses. But in spite of its limitations and faults, the international financial system is important to all of us.56. Through exchange, both parties attempt to make themselves better off.A. a gathering of people for food and amusementB. an association of people having the same political aimsC. a group of people doing something togetherD. one of the people o r sides i n an agreement or argumen t57. Just as …and to cover payments on the television if they are laid off,….A. put asideB. bought without fully being paid forC. stoppedD. dismissed temporaril y58. …, so do nations attempt to maintain hoards of foreig n currencies to cover unexpected events.A. to includeB. to spread overC. to protectD. to be enough money for59. The price of any foreign currency expressed in the local currency…A. shown in some other wayB. shown in wordsC. sent by expressD. pressed out of something60. The price of any foreign currency … is thus a major issue.A. exampleB. resultC. something printedD. a matter of concernPassage 3In Japan’s capital city of Tokyo, earthquake danger limits the height of buildings. Th e city has spread out so far and the traffic has become so heavy that it is very difficult to get from one place to another. The price of land, too, has skyrocketed. All this explains why a group of Japanese land developers came to the conclusion that there was nowhere to go but down. So far they have dug out space underground from fifteen major shopping centers, and the underground construction has only begun.What are some of the advantages of shopping and eating underground? Clean, filtered air is one of them. The city of Tokyo has one of the most serious smog problems in the world. Another advantage is that you escape the ever-present threat of traffic accidents on the city’s busy streets. Still another is the convenience of getting around: You’re usuall y right next to, or even in, a subway station. And you can even spend the night underground if you like.

In fact, a lot of people who knew him called him a miser.This was not quite right, because misers usually spend as little of their wealth on themselves asthey give away. But Duncan was not like that at all. He had always liked to feel rich; to have the best of everyth ing for himself, go to the best restaura nts, stay in the best hotels, have beautiful houses and expe nsive holidays.Duncan had never had a job, and while his father was alive, he had at first been kept on rather a small allowa nee. Duncan had asked his father several times whether he could in crease this, but his father knew about the young man ' swaysavaga n tiis wisdom, always refused tod like to see so s mothdo so.But the n, whe n Duncan was twenty-one, the old man, who was already sixty-five and retired, suggested that he should marry. "I 'm feeling old, ” he said to his son, “and I ' gra ndchildre n before I die. ”Duncan was not kee n to have the expe nse of a wife, and the n childre n, but his father said, you marry, I 'll in crease your allowa nee in excha nge. ”“ By how much? ” Duncan said. “ Wife and children cost a lot of money. ”His father, laughed and an swered, “ it bylthietiply ”“ All right, ” said Duncan. He already had a girlfrie nd, so he asked her to marry him, and she agreed.But Duncan did not spe nd much of his in creased allowa nee on his wife, nor on his childre n whe n they came. His wife always smelt expe nsive, because Duncan loved to have the luxury of the best scents around him, but he did not give her any jewelry, saying that she would inherit ple nty whe n his mother died. His wife did not feel very happy about this, as Duncan only forty-five years old.Duncan also continued to spend as much money as he could get on luxuries for himself.One day he had just had lunch by himself at a very expe nsive restaura nt, where every dish always tasted perfect, and had walked past the doorma n, who had brought his car to the front for him, without giving him a tip.The doorma n, who looked sple ndid in his beautiful uniform, helped him into his car and the n said politely, "Incase you lose your wallet on your way home, sir, please remember that you didn ' t pull it out of your pocket here. ”51.

Are you a bargain hunter? Would you rather use charge accounts than pay cash? Your answer to those questi ons will reflectyour pers on ality. Accord ing to psychologists, our in dividual money habits not only show our beliefs and values, but can also develop from past problems.Experts in psychology believe that for many people, money is an important symbol of stre ngth and in flue nee. Husba nds who compla in about their wives 'spe nding habits may be afraid that they are losing power in their marriage. Wives, on the other hand, may waste huge amounts of money because they are angry with their husbands. In addition, many people consider money a symbol of love. They spend it on their families and friends to express love, or they buy themselves expensive presents because they need love.People can be addicted to different things, for example, alcohol, drugs, certain foods, or even television. They are compulsive in their addictions, that is, they must satisfy these needs to feel comfortable. In the same way, according to psychologists, compulsive spenders must spend more money. For those who buy on credit, furthermore, charge accounts are even more exciting than money: in other words, these people feel that with credit they can do anything. Their pleasure at spending enormous amounts is actually greater than the pleasure they get from the things they buy.There is even a special psychology of bargain hunting. To save money, of course, most people look for sales, low prices, and discounts. Compulsive bargain hunters, however, often buy things that they don 't need just because they are cheap. They want to believe that they are helping their budget, but they are really playing an exciting game: when they can buy something for less than other people, they are winning.It is not only scientists, of course, who understand the psychology of spending habits, but also business people. Stores, companies, and advertisers use psychology to increase business. They consider people 's needs for love, power or influence, as well as their values, beliefs and opinions, in their advertising and sales methods.Psychologists often use a method called “behavior therapy”to help individuals solve their personality problems. In the same way, they can help people who feel that they have problems with money. They give them “assignments.”If a person buys something in every store that he enters, for instance, a therapist might teach him self-discipline in this way. On the first day of his therapy, he must go into a store, stay for five minutes, and then leave. On the second day, he should stay for ten minutes and try something on. On the third day he stays for fifteen minutes, asks the sales clerk a question, but does not buy anything. Soon he will learn that nothing bad will happen to him if he doesn 'tbuy anything, and he can solve the problem of his compulsive buying.56.
