It was she, a Baltimore printer, who published the first official copies of the Declaration, the first copies that included the names of its signers and therefore heralded(宣布，预示)the support of all thirteen colonies.Mary Goddard first got into printing at the age of twenty-four when her brother opened a printing shop in Providence, Rhode Island, in 1762. When her proceeded to get into trouble with his partners and creditors, it was Mary Goddard and her mother who were left to run the shop. In 1765 they began publishing The Providence Gazette, a weekly newspaper. Similar problems seemed to follow her brother as he opened businesses in Philadelphia and again in Baltimore. Each time Ms. Goddard was brought in to run the newspapers. After starting Baltimore’s first newspaper, The Maryland Journal, in 1773, her brother went broke trying to organize a colonial postal service. While he was in debtor’s prison, Mary Katherine Goddard’s name appeared in the newspaper’s masthead (报头) for the first time.When the Continental Congress fled there from Philadelphia in 1776, it commissioned Ms. Goddard to print the first officialversion of the Declaration of Independence in January 1777. After printing the documents, she herself paid the post riders to deliver the Declaration throughout the colonies.During the American Revolution, Mary Goddard continued to publish Baltimore’s only newspaper, which one historian claimed was “second to none among the colonies.” She was also the city’s postmaster from 1775 to 1789 --- appointed by Benjamin Franklin –and is considered to be the first woman to hold a federal position.1.With which of the following subjects is the passage mainly concerned?A.

Now scientists are racing to ensure that the rest survive. Even if global warning were to right now, scientists predict that more than 90% of corals will die by 2050. If no major steps are taken to address the problem, the reefs may be headed for total extinction（灭绝）.(78) The planet’s health depends on the survival of coral reefs. They described as “the rainforests of the sea", because they provide shelter for a wide variety of sea life. In addition, the reefs serve as barriers that protect coastlines from the full force of powerful storms.Coral are used in medical research for cures to diseases. They are key to local economies as well, since the reefs attract tourists, the fishing industry, and other businesses, bringing in billions of dolllars.（79）Corals are particular sensitive to changes in temperature. A riseof just 1 to 2 degrees can force the corals to drive out the algae（水藻）. Then the corals turn white in a process called “bleaching”. Corals can recover from short-term bleaching, but long-term bleaching can cause permanent damage. In 1998, when sea surface temperatures were the highest in recorded history, coral reefs around the world suffered the most severe bleaching.

But nowhere in history have students banned （禁止）bottled water. Until now.The bottled water ban, which Parted on just a few campuses, has now spread nationwide to more than 20 universities. The colleges have cither completely banned the use of plastic bottles altogether, or some have taken a more limited approach with partial bans.Many people believe that producing and bottled water wastes money and harms the environment. They say that bottled water is unnecessary because public water supplies in the U.S. arc among the best in the world. Water fountains and reusable bottles with easy access（获取）to filling stations are a better choice.An organization called Ban the Bottle raises awareness about the economic and environmental costs of using plastic bottles. The group claims that eight glasses of water a day costs each person 49 cents annually, while drinking from plastic containers costs $I,400 per year. Plastic bottles contain antimony—a chemical that in low doses causes depression, but in large doses can even lead to death.The controversy over bottled or tap is not limited to the students and college administrations. The makers of bottled water see the movement as a threat. (80) They argue that plastic bottles make UP a small portion of the nation’s total waste.

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage 1People often say that the Englishman’s home is his castle. They mean that the home is very important and personal to him. Most people in Britain live in houses rather than flats, and many people own their homes. This means that they can make them personal; they can paint them, and change them in any way they like. Most houses have a garden, even if it is a very small one, and the garden is usually loved. The house and the garden are the private space of the individual.People usually like to mark their space. Are you sitting now in your home or on a train? Have you marked the space around yourself as yours? If you are on the train you may put your coat or small bag on the seat beside you. If you share a flat, you may have one corner or chair which is your own.Once I was traveling on a train to London. I was in a section for four people and there was a table between us. The man on the space on my side of the table at all. I was angry. Maybe he thought that he owned the whole table. I had read a book about non-verbal communication, so I took various papers out of my bag and put them on his briefcase! When I did this he stiffened and his eyes nearly popped out of his head. I had invaded his space! A few minutes later I took my papers off his case in order to read them. He immediately moved his case to his side of the table. Of course, it is possible that he just wanted to be helpful to me!If you are visiting anot her country, you may feel that you don’t have any private space. Hotel rooms look much the same in every country in the world. All day long, you share public spaces with other people. You see the local people in their private spaces and you feel lonely and “outside”. Local people can create their private spaces by talking about things you don’t know about. And you even feel that they like you to be outside them so that they will enjoy being inside even more! This is one of the difficulties of being a traveler! But if you understand it then it helps you. Haven’t you enjoyed being part of a group and “owning” a bit of space?21.The writer was angry as he was travelling on a train to London because_____.A.he had no place to sitB. someone had invaded his “space”C.too many people shared a section with himD.some other people talked about things he didn’t know about22.“… you feel lonely and ‘outside’ “in paragraph 4 means that_____.A. you are alone outside the house B, you feel lonely because you travel on your ownC. you are alone and therefore you go outside to have some funD. you feel lonely and you don’t belong to that place or that group of people23.In Paragraph 4 , the pronoun “them’ refers to（所指）“_____”.A.public spacesB. private spacesC. local peopleD. other countries24.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. British people dislike marking their space.B. You always feel at home in another country.C. Most British people prefer living in houses to flats.D．You can’t m ark your private space in a foreign country.25.The main purpose of the passage is to tell readers to _____.A.own private spaces by living in housesB. have one corner of their own in public placesC. realize the importance of “space” in communicationD. create their private spaces by talking with local peoplePassage 2Since its founding in 1948，McDonald’s has grown from a family burger (汉堡包) stand to a global fast-food chain，with more than 30,000 locations in 118 countries.With 58 million daily customers worldwide, McDonald’s is now so ubiquitous around the globe that The Economist publishes a global ranking of currencies’ purchasing power based on the prices charged at the local McDonald’s, called the Big Mac Index (巨无霸指数). That's not to say that every nation carries the same menu items: choices vary widely depending on location. Some Asian locations serve fried shrimp in a Big Mac roll, while McDonald's in India doesn't serve beef at all, relying instead on burgers made from veggies, rice and beans.Not everyone in the world has been happy to greet Ronald McDonald when he moves to town. Many see McDonald’s as a symbol of American economic and cultural chauvinism (沙文主义) , and European nations inparticular have viewed American-style fast food as an insult to their national food. A French farmer, Jose Bove, became something of a national hero in 1999 after he and a group of people destroyed a McDonald's under construction to protest globalization and "bad food." The next year, a bomb detonated in a French McDonald’s, killing a 27-year-old employee. No one claimed responsibility.But regardl ess of whether you like their food or their policies, McDonald’s is still widely seen as one of the true pioneers of peaceful globalization.26.According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?A. McDonald’s was founded in 1948B. McDonald’s has opened its restaurants in every city of the world.C. McDonald’s has over 30,000 locations in the world now.D. McDonald’s was very small in scale in the beginning.27.The word “ubiquitous” in Paragraph 2 is most likely to mean_____.A. very crowdedB. very cleanC. existing everywhereD. occurring frequently28.From Paragraph 2，we can conclude that_____.A. McDonald’s designs its menu to suit the local peopleB. Millions of young adults got their first job with McDonald’sC. The McDonald’s menu sticks to old-fashioned favorites such as the Big MacD. The low prices of McDonald’s bring tens of millions of people through its doors every day29.What did Joes Bove and his people do in 1999 to protest against McDonald’s?A. They organized a strike.B. They protested outside a McDonald’s.C. They refused to go to a newly-built McDonald’s.D. They destroyed a McDonald’s under construction30.In _____, an employee died in a fatal bomb attack on a McDonald’s rest aurant in France.A.1998B. 1999C. 2000D. 2001Passage 3Jim Thorpe was a Native American. He was born in 1888 in an Indian Territory（印第安人保护区）that isnow Oklahoma. Like most Native American children then, he liked to fish, hunt, swim, and play games outdoors. he was healthy and strong, but he had very little formal education. In 1950, Jim Thorpe was named the greatest American football player. He was also an Olympic gold medal winner. But Thorpe had many tragedies in his life.Jim had a twin brother who died when he was nine years old. By the time he was 16, his mother and father were also dead. Jim then went to a special school in Pennsylvania for Native American children. There, he learned to read and write and also began to play sports. Jim was poor, so he left school for two years to earn some money. During this time, he played on a baseball team. The team paid him only $ 15 a week. Soon he returned to school tocomplete his education. Jim was a star athlete (运动员) in several sports, including baseball, running, and football.He won many awards for his athletic ability, mainly for football. In many games, he scored all or most of the points for his team.In 1912，when Jim Thorpe was 24 years old, he became part of the U.S. Olympic team. He competed in two very difficult events: the pentathlon and the decathlon. Both require great ability and strength. The pentathlon has five track and field events，including the long jump and the 1,500-meter race. The decathlon has ten track and field events，with running, jumping ,and throwing contests.People thought it was impossible for an athlete to compete in both the pentathlon and the decathlon. So everyone was surprised when Thorpe won gold medals in both events. When the King of Sweden presented Thorpe with his two gold medals, he said, “Sir, you are the greatest athlete in the world.” Thorpe was a simple and honest man. He just answered, “Thanks, King.”31.From the passage we learn that Jim Thorpe was born in _____.A. IndiaB. PennsylvaniaC. OklahomaD. Sweden32.According to the passage, most American Indian children loved all the following EXCEPTA. fishingB. huntingC. swimmingD. singing33.Jim Thorpe started to play sports _____.A. before he was nine years oldB. when he was 16 years’ oldC. when he was 24 years oldD. before his parents passed away34.The word “decathlon” in Paragraph 3 probably means _____.A. jumpingB. five track and field eventsC. throwingD. ten track and field events35.Which of the following is NOT TRUE?A. In 1912, Thorpe went back to finish his college education.B. Thorpe won two gold medals in the 1912 Olympic Games.C. Thorpe once played on a baseball team for money.D. In 1950, Thorpe was named the greatest American football player.Passage 4It can be really frustrating (使人沮丧的) for an overweight person to go to a gym and work out with a positiveattitude. All one has to do is walk by almost any nice gym and notice all the healthy, sweating, “skinny” members. Sometimes they stare at those of us who are, well, zaftig. It is easy to see the judgment behind their eyes. Who wants to put up with that?Many people are self-conscious of their bodies and feel isolated when joining workout classes or while exercising, especially if they are larger than most of the others in the group. Now the fitness industry is finallypaying attention. Popular gyms are catering（迎合）to overweight and weight conscious customers by dedicatingareas where the “skinny” people are no allowed.There are even gyms or programs that require members to be at least 50 pounds overweight to participate. Trainers recommend functional fitness as a practical goal, rather than six-pack abs（六块腹肌）. They often use textmessages to stay in touch with customers.Often at these specialized gyms, the trainers are overweight themselves, or working on their own weight goals, and this can help those people with anxiety caused by poor body image. The equipment has been designed for useby larger people. Wider seats, more cushioning, no mirrors, and tinted （有色的）windows for privacy, are allimportant changes.Hopefully these types of gyms will successfully grow in numbers in the future. The idea is a very simple and potentially popular one. If it helps those of us who are bigger exercise more and improve our fitness level, it’s a step in the right direction.36.The word zaftig in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _____.A. fatB. healthyC. friendlyD. polite37.We can infer from the first two paragraphs that_____.A. most large gym chains really don’t want member s to show up frequentlyB. overweight people are often frustrated and pushed away by traditional gym industryC. regular gyms don’t accept overweight people to participate in their programsD. overweight people have to pay extra to work out in a gym38.What is the training goal in the gyms catering to overweight members?A. To achieve functional fitness.B. To build six-pack abs.C. To look like a fitness model.D. To be able to run long distances.39.As for the gyms catering to overweight members, which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?A. The machines are designed for larger people.B. Tinted windows are used to ensure extra privacy.C. There are large mirrors on the walls.D. The training goals are more realistic.40.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. Improving Women’s Self-confidence through ExercisesB. The Traditional Gym Industry Is Losing Its CustomersC. The Fitness Industry Is Looking for New DirectionsD. Specialized Gyms Designed for Overweight PeoplePart III Cloze (10 points)Knowing why English people always look for an empty compartment and are unwilling to talk to strangers, I thought I was going to have a quiet trip to Scotland.

Did you ever wonder how it is possible for us to recognize people? （51）Even a skilled writer probably could not describe all the features that make one face different from another. Yet a very young child---or even an animal, such as a pigeon-can learn to recognize faces. We all take this ability for granted.We also tell people apart by how they behave. （52）When we talk about someone’s personality（个性）, wemean the ways in which he or she acts, speaks, thinks and feels that make that individual different from others.Like the human face, human personality is very complex. （53）But describing someone’s personality inwords is somewhat easier than describing his face. if you were asked to describe what a “nice face” looked like, you probably would have a difficult time doing so. But if you were asked to describe a “nice person,” you might begin to think about someone who was kind, considerate, friendly, warm, and so forth.There are many words to describe how a person thinks, feels and acts. Gordon all ports, an Americanpsychologist, found nearly 18 000 English words characteri zing differences in people’s behavior. （54）And manyof us use this information as a basis for describing, or typing, his personality.Bookworms, conservatives, military types-people are described with such terms.People have always tried to “type” each other. Actors in early Greek drama wore ma sks to show the audience whether they played the villain’s (坏人) or the hero’s role. In fact, the words “person” and “personality” come from the Latin persona, meaning “mask.” Today, most television and movie actors do not wear masks. （55）But we caneasily tell the “good guys” from the “bad guys” because the two types differ in appearance as well as in actions.Part V Writing (30 points)Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic: Why do We Work?

One Friday afternoon he was riding along the track towards the Henderson farm. He was looking for a prize bull which had escaped from the Borrogee paddock. He reached the hills and saw at once that he could not go further.There had been a fire in the forest which had gone out. But the air was still full of smoke and fallen trees had blocked the track. Jack was just going to turn back when he saw something moving in the smoke. He waited. It was a girl on a horse, and she was riding towards him. “There’s a badly burnt man on the farm,” the girl shouted. “He saved my life. Please help me to save him.”The girl was Cathy Henderson. She had been on horseback for two hours. She had to jump over fallen trees that were still burning. Her pony had fallen with her twice. She was thirsty and almost dead from want of sleep. But she rode back to the farm with Jack immediately.Joe Brook was unconscious when they reached him. They lifted him onto Jack’s horse. The ride back to Borrogee was terrible. Cathy was so tired that Jack had to tie her to her pony. The pony was tired too, but its courage was astonishing. It followed Jack right to Borrogee Hospital. Nobody saw them arrive because it was night.“I’ve never seen a horse like that pony,” Jack said. Cathy praised Jack Billabong, but she refused to say anything about the pony, “Joe will write about her in his story,” she said.But she did say one th ing: “If flame hadn’t returned to the farm that afternoon, Joe and I would have died.”16.

Dr. Aiken studied a number of couples who had been married for at least twenty-five years. Each couple provided four photographs—one photo of each partner at the time of their marriage and another photo of each partner twenty-five or more years later. All background was cut from the photos to remove any clues. The photos were then displayed in groups: a random grouping of the persons at the time of their marriage and another random grouping of the same persons who took photographs later. Some testees were asked to pick out the partners. They failed totally with the first group. Their judgements were no better than chance. But with the photos taken twenty-five or more years after the marriage, the testees were quite successful with the most happily-married couples.Dr. Aiken believes there are several reasons why couples grow alike. One reason has something to do with imitation. One person tends to copy or do the same as someone else without knowing it. He says human begins to imitate the expressions of the faces of their loved ones. “Another possible reason,” he says, “is the common experience of the couples.” There is a tendency for people who have the same life experience to change their faces in similar ways. For example, if a couple have suffered from a lot of sad experiences, their faces are likely to change in a similar way.21. Dr. Aiken cut the background from the photos for the purpose of __________.A. imitating the couples’ lifeB. grouping the couples againC. leaving no trace for the testeesD. giving the testees more chances22. The underlined sentence “Their judgements were no better than chance” implies that the testees __________.A. did a good job in making their choices.B. had difficulty in picking out the partnersC. had no chance to make the right judgementsD. did better with the first group than with the second23. The underlined word “imitate” (in Para. 2) has a simil ar meaning to __________.A. copyB. changeC. knowD. suffer24. From the passage we can draw the conclusion that ___________.A. couples who look alike can live longerB. most partners have been proved to grow alikeC. the influence between partners can be quite strongD. happily-married couples are often richer than others25. The main purpose of the passage is to ___________.A. explain why couples grow alikeB. tell how couples like each otherC. discuss the function of marriageD. describe the life of happily married couplesPassage ThreeThe three biggest lies in America are: (1) “The check is in the mail”, (2) “Of course I’ll respect you in the morning”, and (3) “It was a computer error.”Of these three little white lies, the worst is the third. It’s the only one that can never be true. Today, if a bank statement cheats you out of $ 900 that way, you know what the clerk is sure to say,” It was a computer error.” Nonsense. The computer is reporting nothing more than what the clerk typed into it.The most annoying case of all is when the computerized cashier in the grocery store shows that an item costs more than it actually does. If the innocent buyer points out the mistake, the checker, bagger, and manager all come together and offer the familiar expl anation: “It was a compute error.”It wasn’t, of course that computerized cashier is really nothing more than an electric event. The eye reads the Universal Product Code—chat bar of black and white lines in a corner of the package—and then checks the code against a price list stored in memory. If the price list is right, you’ll be charged accurately.Grocery stores update the price list each day—that is, somebody sits at a keyboard and types in the prices. If the price they type in is too high, there are only two explanations: carelessness or dishonesty. But somehow “a computer error” is supposed to excuse everything.One reason we let people hide behind a computer is the common misperception that huge, modern computers are electric brain with “artificial in telligence.” At some point there might be a machine with intelligence but none exists today. The smartest computer on Earth right now is no more intelligent than your average pen. At this point in the development of computers, the only thing any machine can do is what a human has instructedit to do.26. Of the three lies, the one about computer is the worst because the computer itself __________.A. says nonsenseB. cheats customersC. cannot make the errorD. does not admit its error27. According to the author, a computerized cashier is really just ___________.A. a machine to count moneyB. a machine to receive moneyC. an instrument to print codesD. an instrument to read codes28. Grocery store price lists are updated by ____________.A. a computerB. a keyboardC. an employeeD. an electric brain29. The last paragraph of the passage implies that computers ____________.A. are very cleverB. never make mistakesC. have a good memoryD. are controlled by men30. Which of the following describes the main idea of the passage?A. Computers are stupid and inefficient.B. Computer errors are due to its dishonesty.C. Computers help stores update the price list.D. Computer errors are actually human errors.Passage FourI came across an old country guidebook the other day. It listed all the tradesmen in each village, and it was impressive to see the past variety of services which were available on one’s own doorstep in the late Victorian countryside.Nowadays a traveler in rural England might conclude that the only village tradesmen still flourishing were either selling frozen food to the villagers or selling antiques to visitors. Nevertheless, this would really be a false impression. On the surface, there has been a decline of village commerce, but its power is still remarkable.Our local grocer’s shop, for example, is actually expanding in spite of the competition from supermarkets in the nearest town. Women sensibly prefer to go there and exchange the local news while doing their shopping, instead of queuing up at a supermarket. And the grocer knows well that personal service has a considerable cash value.His prices may be a bit higher than those in the town, but he will deliver anything at any time. His assistants think nothing of bicycling down the village street in their lunch hour to take a piece of cheese to an old retired woman who sent her order by word of mouth with a friend who happened to be passing. The richer customers telephone their shopping lists and the goods are on their doorsteps within an hour. They have only to hint at a fancy for some commodity outside the usual stock and the grocer, a red faced-figure, instantly obtains it for them.31. Nowadays the commercial services in the village are ____________.A. still very activeB. quickly decliningC. unable to flourishD. personal to visitors32. The local grocer’s shop is expanding because _____________.A. the competition there is weakB. it is a place for women to chatC. it provides good personal serviceD. the goods there are more valuable33. Which of the following is true about the supermarkets?A. Prices there are much higherB. Customers often have to queue up.C. Customers can order by telephone.D. Their personal services are satisfactory.34. How do the village grocer’s assistants f eel about giving extra service?A. They don’t think it a trouble.B. They don’t think it worthwhile.C. They don’t consider it a good deal.D. They don’t consider it a pleasant experience.35. One special feature of the village shop is that ___________.A. there is a very wide range of goods availableB. customers can order goods by word of mouthC. customer have to order goods one hour earlierD. there is a list of goods to be delivered to doorstepsPart III Vocabulary and Structure (20 points)Directions: There are 40 incomplete sentences in this part.

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage 1People often say that the Englishman’s home is his castle. They mean that the home is very important and personal to him. Most people in Britain live in houses rather than flats, and many people own their homes. This means that they can make them personal; they can paint them, and change them in any way they like. Most houses have a garden, even if it is a very small one, and the garden is usually loved. The house and the garden are the private space of the individual.People usually like to mark their space. Are you sitting now in your home or on a train? Have you marked the space around yourself as yours? If you are on the train you may put your coat or small bag on the seat beside you. If you share a flat, you mayhave one corner or chair which is your own.Once I was traveling on a train to London. I was in a section for four people and there was a table between us. The man on the space on my side of the table at all. I was angry. Maybe he thought that he owned the whole table. I had read a book about non-verbal communication, so I took various papers out of my bag and put them on his briefcase! When I did this he stiffened and his eyes nearly popped out of his head. I had invaded his space! A few minutes later I took my papers off his case in order to read them. He immediately moved his case to his side of the table. Of course, it is possible that he just wanted to be helpful to me!If you are visiting anot her country, you may feel that you don’t have any private space. Hotel rooms look much the same in every country in the world. All day long, you share public spaces with other people. You see the local people in their private spaces and you feel lonely and “outside”. Local people can create their private spaces by talking about th ings you don’t know about. And you even feel that they like you to be outside them so that they will enjoy being inside even more! This is one of the difficulties of being a traveler! But if you understand it then it helps you. Haven’t you enjoyed being pa rt of a group and “owning” a bit of space?21.The writer was angry as he was travelling on a train to London because_____.A.he had no place to sitB. someone had invaded his “space”C.too many people shared a section with himD.some other people talked ab out things he didn’t know about22.“… you feel lonely and ‘outside’ “in paragraph 4 means that_____.A. you are alone outside the house B, you feel lonely because you travel on your ownC. you are alone and therefore you go outside to have some funD. you feel lonely and you don’t belong to that place or that group of people23.In Paragraph 4 , the pronoun “them’ refers to（所指）“_____”.A.public spacesB. private spacesC. local peopleD. other countries24.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. British people dislike marking their space.B. You always feel at home in another country.C. Most British people prefer living in houses to flats.D．You can’t m ark your private space in a foreign country.25.The main purpose of the passage is to tell readers to _____.A.own private spaces by living in housesB. have one corner of their own in public placesC. realize the importance of “space” in communicationD. create their private spaces by talking with local peoplePassage 2Since its founding in 1948，McDonald’s has grown from a family burger (汉堡包) stand to a global fast-food chain，with more than 30,000 locations in 118 countries.With 58 million daily customers worldwide, McDonald’s is now so ubiquitous around the globe that The Economistpubli shes a global ranking of currencies’ purchasing power based on the prices charged at the local McDonald’s, called the Big Mac Index (巨无霸指数). That's not to say that every nation carries the same menu items: choices vary widely depending on location. Some Asian locations serve fried shrimp in a Big Mac roll, while McDonald's in India doesn't serve beef at all, relying instead on burgers made from veggies, rice and beans.Not everyone in the world has been happy to greet Ronald McDonald when he moves to town. Many see McDonald’s as a symbol of American economic and cultural chauvinism (沙文主义) , and European nations inparticular have viewed American-style fast food as an insult to their national food. A French farmer, Jose Bove, became something of a national hero in 1999 after he and a group of people destroyed a McDonald's under construction to protest globalization and "bad food." The next year, a bomb detonated in a French McDonald’s, killing a 27-year-old employee. No one claimed responsibility.But regardl ess of whether you like their food or their policies, McDonald’s is still widely seen as one of the true pioneers of peaceful globalization.26.According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?A. McDonald’s was founded in 1948B. Mc Donald’s has opened its restaurants in every city of the world.C. McDonald’s has over 30,000 locations in the world now.D. McDonald’s was very small in scale in the beginning.27.The word “ubiquitous” in Paragraph 2 is most likely to mean_____.A. very crowdedB. very cleanC. existing everywhereD. occurring frequently28.From Paragraph 2，we can conclude that_____.A. McDonald’s designs its menu to suit the local peopleB. Millions of young adults got their first job with McDonald’sC. The McDonald’s me nu sticks to old-fashioned favorites such as the Big MacD. The low prices of McDonald’s bring tens of millions of people through its doors every day29.What did Joes Bove and his people do in 1999 to protest against McDonald’s?A. They organized a strike.B. They protested outside a McDonald’s.C. They refused to go to a newly-built McDonald’s.D. They destroyed a McDonald’s under construction30.In _____, an employee died in a fatal bomb attack on a McDonald’s rest aurant in France.A.1998B. 1999C. 2000D. 2001Passage 3Jim Thorpe was a Native American. He was born in 1888 in an Indian Territory（印第安人保护区）that isnow Oklahoma. Like most Native American children then, he liked to fish, hunt, swim, and play games outdoors. he was healthy and strong, but he had very little formal education. In1950, Jim Thorpe was named the greatest American football player. He was also an Olympic gold medal winner. But Thorpe had many tragedies in his life.Jim had a twin brother who died when he was nine years old. By the time he was 16, his mother and father were also dead. Jim then went to a special school in Pennsylvania for Native American children. There, he learned to read and write and also began to play sports. Jim was poor, so he left school for two years to earn some money. During this time, he played on a baseball team. The team paid him only $ 15 a week. Soon he returned to school to complete his education. Jim was a star athlete (运动员) in several sports, including baseball, running, and football.He won many awards for his athletic ability, mainly for football. In many games, he scored all or most of the points for his team.In 1912，when Jim Thorpe was 24 years old, he became part of the U.S. Olympic team. He competed in two very difficult events: the pentathlon and the decathlon. Both require great ability and strength. The pentathlon has five track and field events，including the long jump and the 1,500-meter race. The decathlon has ten track and field events，with running, jumping ,and throwing contests.People thought it was impossible for an athlete to compete in both the pentathlon and the decathlon. So everyone was surprised when Thorpe won gold medals in both events. When the King of Sweden presented Thorpe with his two gold medals, he said, “Sir, you are the greatest athlete in the world.” Thorpe was a simple and honest man. He just answered, “Thanks, King.”31.From the passage we learn that Jim Thorpe was born in _____.A. IndiaB. PennsylvaniaC. OklahomaD. Sweden32.According to the passage, most American Indian children loved all the following EXCEPTA. fishingB. huntingC. swimmingD. singing33.Jim Thorpe started to play sports _____.A. before he was nine years oldB. when he was 16 years’ oldC. when he was 24 years oldD. before his parents passed away34.The word “decathlon” in Paragraph 3 probably means _____.A. jumpingB. five track and field eventsC. throwingD. ten track and field events35.Which of the following is NOT TRUE?A. In 1912, Thorpe went back to finish his college education.B. Thorpe won two gold medals in the 1912 Olympic Games.C. Thorpe once played on a baseball team for money.D. In 1950, Thorpe was named the greatest American football player.Passage 4It can be really frustrating (使人沮丧的) for an overweight person to go to a gym and work out with a positiveattitude. All one has to do is walk by almost any nice gym and notice all the healthy, sweating, “skinny” members. Sometimes they stare at those of us who are, well, zaftig. It is easy to see the judgment behind their eyes. Who wants to put up with that?Many people are self-conscious of their bodies and feel isolated when joining workout classes or while exercising, especially if they are larger than most of the others in the group. Now the fitness industry is finallypaying attention. Popular gyms are catering（迎合）to overweight and weight conscious customers by dedicating areas where the “skinny” people are no allowed.There are even gyms or programs that require members to be at least 50 pounds overweight to participate. Trainers recommend functional fitness as a practical goal, rather than six-pack abs（六块腹肌）. They often use textmessages to stay in touch with customers.Often at these specialized gyms, the trainers are overweight themselves, or working on their own weight goals, and this can help those people with anxiety caused by poor body image. The equipment has been designed for useby larger people. Wider seats, more cushioning, no mirrors, and tinted （有色的）windows for privacy, are allimportant changes.Hopefully these types of gyms will successfully grow in numbers in the future. The idea is a very simple and potentially popular one. If it helps those of us who are bigger exercise more and improve our fitness level, it’s a step in the right direction.36.The word zaftig in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _____.A. fatB. healthyC. friendlyD. polite37.We can infer from the first two paragraphs that_____.A. most large gym chains really don’t want member s to show up frequentlyB. overweight people are often frustrated and pushed away by traditional gym industryC. regular gyms don’t accept overweight people to participate in their programsD. overweight people have to pay extra to work out in a gym38.What is the training goal in the gyms catering to overweight members?A.

Tinted windows are used to ensure extra privacy.C. There are large mirrors on the walls.D. The training goals are more realistic.40.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. Improving Women’s Self-confidence through ExercisesB. The Traditional Gym Industry Is Losing Its CustomersC. The Fitness Industry Is Looking for New DirectionsD.

Did you ever wonder how it is possible for us to recognize people? （51）Even a skilled writer probably could not describe all thefeatures that make one face different from another. Yet a very young child---or even an animal, such as a pigeon-can learn to recognize faces. We all take this ability for granted.We also tell people apart by how they behave. （52）When we talk about someone’s personality（个性）, wemean the ways in which he or she acts, speaks, thinks and feels that make that individual different from others.Like the human face, human personality is very complex. （53）But describing someone’s personality inwords is somewhat easier than describing his face. if you were asked to describe what a “nice face” looked like, you probably would have a difficult time doing so. But if you were asked to describe a “nice person,” you might begin to think about someone who was kind, considerate, friendly, warm, and so forth.There are many words to describe how a person thinks, feels and acts. Gordon all ports, an Americanpsychologist, found nearly 18 000 English words characteri zing differences in people’s behavior. （54）And many of us use this information as a basis for describing, or typing, his personality.Bookworms, conservatives, military types-people are described with such terms.People have always tried to “type” each other. Actors in early Greek drama wore ma sks to show the audience whether they played the villai n’s (坏人) or the hero’s role. In fact, the words “person” and “personality” come from the Latin persona, meaning “mask.” Today, most television and movie actors do not wear masks. （55）But we caneasily tell the “good guys” from the “bad guys” because the two types differ in appearance as well as in actions.Part V Writing (30 points)Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic: Why do We Work?

(40 points)Text 1First two hours , now three hours—this is how far in advance authorities are recommending people show up to catch a domestic flight , at least at some major airports with increasingly massive security lines.Americans are willing to tolerate time-consuming security procedures in return for increased safety. The crash of Egypt Air Flight 804,which terrorists may have downed over the Mediterranean Sea ,provides another tragic reminder of why. But demanding too much of air travelers or providing too littlesecurity in returnundermines public support for the process. And it should: Wasted time is a drag on Americans’ economic and private lives, not to mention infuriating.Last year, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) found in a secret check that undercover investigators were able to sneak weapons---both fake and real—past airport security nearly every time they tried .Enhanced security measures since then, combined with a rise in airline travel due to the improving Chicago’s O’Hare International .It is not yet clear how much more effective airline security has become —but the lines are obvious.Part of the issue is that the government did not anticipate the steep increase in airline travel , so the TSA is now rushing to get new screeners on the line. Part of the issue is that airports have only so much room for screening lanes. Another factor may be that more people are trying to overpack their carry-on bags to avoidchecked-baggage fees, though the airlines strongly dispute this.There is one step the TSA could take that would not require remodeling airports or rushing to hire: Eoll more people in thePreCheck program. PreCheck is supposed to be a win-win for travelers and the TSA. Passengers who pass abackground check are eligible to use expedited screening lanes. This allows the TSA wants to eoll 25 million people in PreCheck.It has not gotten anywhere close to that, and one big reason is sticker shock. Passengers must pay $85 every five years to process their background checks. Since the beginning, this price tag has been PreCheck’s fatal flaw. Upcoming reforms might bring the price to a more reasonable level. But Congress should look into doing sodirectly, by helping to finance PreCheck eollment or to cut costs in other TSA cannot continue diverting resources into underused PreCheck lanes while most of the traveling public suffers in unnecessary lines. It is long past time to make the program work.21. The crash of Egypt Air Flight 804 is mentioned to_____.[A] explain American’s tolerance of current security checks[B] stress the urgency to strengthen security worldwide[C]highlight the necessity of upgrading major airport[D] emphasize the importance of privacy protection22. Which of the following contributes to long waits at major airports?[A]New restrictions on carry-on bags[B]The declining efficiency of the TSA[C]An increase in the number of travellers[D] Frequent unexpected secret checks23.

Cloze Test ( 10 minutes, 10 points, 1 point each) The chicken is probably the most populous bird on earth. According to 41 , there are over 13 billion chicken ! And its meat is to popular that more than 73 billion pounds of it are consumed each year.42 , hens produce some 600 billion eggsa year worldwide. The chicken is a descendant of the red jungle fowl of Asia. Man soon discovered that the chicken could be domesticated easily. But it was 43 the 19th century that mass production of chickens and eggs became a commercial 44 . Today chicken is 45 the most popular poultry meat. Chickens are raised bymillions of households for domestic and commercial use. Advanced scientific methods of breeding and raising have made chicken production one of the most successful agricultural industries. Modern techniques now make 46 possible for just one person to care for from 25, 000 to 50,000 chickens. It takes the birds only three months to reach market weight. Many people 47 these mass-production techniques as cruel. But that has not stopped farmers from developing increasingly efficient ways of breeding these birds. Many of the birds raised by such methods are easily to die off---- some as 48 of the deadly disease ----the bird flu. Many farmers have neither the 49 nor the means to feed their chickens adequately, to provide proper housing for them, or to protect them from diseases. 50 this reason programs have been started by the United Nations to helpeducate farmers in many countries. 41.

Functional and often unexciting,replaced by zip fasteners or hood and eyes, there is, one would think, nothing much to be said about the humble button. Yet it is very probable that buttons started life as ornaments; certainly it is not known that they had any practical function until the 13th century. By the 14th century buttons were once again ornamental, often wastefully so, to such an extent that it was by no means uncommon for a person of wealth and consequence to have as many as 300 buttons on a single article of dress. Unimaginable as it seems today, sewing superfluous buttons on cloths became a craze---- not one that seems harmful to us though some Italians took a different view and a law against buttons was enforced in Florence. No buttons were to be worn on the upper arms; penalty for disobedience---- a sound whipping. How often this had to be carried out, history does not relate! Most of the buttonson modern clothes which could be called decorative once did in fact serve a useful purpose. Buttons on boots are one good example. Sleeve buttons on men?s coats are a reminder of the days when the fashion was for wearing shirts with frilly lace cuffs. On the tails of a modern tail coat there are indeed buttons which are purely ornamental but in earlier days horsemen used these buttons to keep the tails out of harm?s way. With regard to the side on which clothes are buttoned, originally both male and female dress was buttoned on the left hand side. Change came when men had to have access to their swords.So perhaps it is worth taking a look at buttons. 51. Which of the following statements is true regarding buttons? A They have little function. B They are the only useful accessory. C They receive the least attention among accessories. D Theyare one of the best adornments to any clothes. 52. According to the author, ____ A buttons are used as ornaments only in modern times. B buttons have been used as ornaments since the 14th century. C buttons were used as ornaments before the 13th century.D buttons have been used as ornaments on and off throughout the history. 53. It is implied that in the 14th century buttons ________ A were a symbol of wealth.B were occasionally put on clothes.C began to have practical functions.D represented the wearer?s artistic taste 54. In Florence, a city in Italy, buttons were once ___ A loved by every citizen .B banned because they were a craze.C considered harmful and nobody wore them.D forbidden on the upper arms.55. It seems to the author that buttons ____A are worth a second look.B have never served any functionC should notbe sewed on coats. D play an important role in our lives. 56. Male and female dress is now buttoned __________ A on the right side B on the left side C on different sides C on the same sides. Passage Two Behind most of the bad things we do to our bodies as adults, eating more than we should is the idea we carry with us from childhood. On the one hand, we assume that we are indestructible. On the other, we think that any damage we impose on ourselves can be undone when finally clean up our act. If the evidence for how wrong the first idea is isn?t apparent when you stand naked in front of the mirror, just wait. But what if you eat right and drop all your bad habits? Is there still time to repair the damage? To a surprising degree, the answer is yes. Over the past five years, scientists have accumulated a wealth of data about what happens when aging people with badhabits decide to turn their lives around. The heartening conclusion: the body has an amazing ability to heal itself, provided the damage is not too great. The effects of some bad habits ---smoking, in particular---can haunt you for decades. But the damage from other habits can be largely healed. “Any time you improve your behaviour and make lifestyle changes, they make a difference from that point on,” says Dr. Jeffrey Koplan. “Maybe not right away. It?s like slamming on the brakes. You do need a certain distance. “ But the distance can be remarkably short. Consider the recent announcements from the front lines of medical research: ---- A study concluded that women who consume as little as two servings of fish a week cut their risk of suffering a stroke to half that women who eat less than one serving of fish a month. ---- The day you quitsmoking, the carbon monoxide levels in your body drop dramatically. Within weeks, your blood becomes less sticky and your risk of dying from a heart attack starts to decline. Adopting healthy habits won?t cure all that bothers you, of course. But doctors believe that many chronic diseases ----from high blood pressure to heart disease and even some cancers---- can be warded off with a few sensible changes in lifestyle. Not sure where to start? Surprisingly, it doesn?t matter, since one positive change usually leads to another. Make enough changes, and you?ll discover you?ve adopted a new way of life. 57. Most people with bad habits of eating more than they should believe that ____ A they can never change the habits that have haunted them for decades. B their bodies can?t be damaged by the bad habits. C their bodies can heal all the damage without thehelp from outside. D they can force themselves to clean up the bad habits later.58. The evidence to disapprove the assumption that we are indestructible ____ A is seldom apparent . B is clearly shown in the mirror. C will appear obvious sooner or later. D is still a question. 59. According to the passage the human body can heal the damage caused by bad habits _______ A when the damage is not very serious. B no matter how serious the damage is. C after we have dropped our bad habits. D much more slowly than we think. 60. According to the recent announcements, ____ A women should eat as much fish as possible. B women are at a higher risk of suffering a stroke than men.C eating a little more fish can improve women?s health.D men don?t have to eat as much fish as women. 61. It is implied in the passage that _____ Asmokers have lower levels of carbon monoxide than non-smokers. B the blood of smokers is more sticky than that of non-smokers. C smokers will be unlikely to die from heart attack if they quit smoking. D chronic diseases can be cured if we drop our habit of smoking.62. In the last paragraph the author tells us _____ A when we should start quitting our bad habits. B it doesn?t matter how we start quitting our bad habits.C that making enough changes will make doctors unnecessary to us.D it?s never too late to start making sensible changes in our lifestyle. Passage Three Our true challenge today is not debts and deficits or global competition but the need to find a way to live rich, fulfilling lives without destroying the planet?s biosphere, which supports all life. Humanity has never before faced such a threat: the collapse of the very elementsthat keep us alive. An apple is an easy thing to take for granted. If you live where apples grow in abundance, you might assume that they are readily available and, better yet, that you may pick from a wide variety. But do you know that there are far fewer types to choose from today than there were 100 years ago? Between the years 1804 and 1905, there were 7,098 varieties of apples grown in the United States. Today 6,121 of those are extinct. But does diversity really matter? In the 1840?s, Ireland?s population exceeded eight million, making it the most densely populated country in Europe. Potatoes were its dietary mainstay, and a single variety called lumpers was the most widely grown. In 1845 the farmers planted their lumpers as usual, but a plant disease known as blight struck and wiped out almost the entire crop. “Most of Ireland survived that difficult year,” wrotePaul Raeburn in his book The Last Harvest ----The Genetic Gamble That Threatens to Destroy Am erican Agriculture. “The devastation came the next year. Farmers has no choice but to plant the same potatoes again. They had no other varieties. The blight struck again, this time with overwhelming force. The suffering was indescribable.” Historians estim ate that up to 1 million people died of starvation, while another million emigrated, most to the United States. Those remaining suffered from crushing poverty. In the Andes of South America, farmers grew many varieties of potatoes, and only a few were affected by blight. Hence, there was no epidemic. Clearly, diversity of species and diversity within species provide protection. The growing of just one uniform crop runs counter to this basic survival strategy and leaves plants exposed to disease or pests, which can destroyan entire regions? harvest. That is why many farmers depend so heavily on the frequent use of pesticides , even though such chemicals are often environmentally hazardous. Why do farmers replace their many folk varieties with one uniform crop? Usually in response to economic pressures. Planting uniform crops promises ease of harvesting, attractiveness of the product, resistance to go bad, and high productivity. But theses trends may be destroying man?s own food supply. 63. The main idea of the passage is __________ A It is important to protect the earth?s bio-diversity. B man is destroying his own food supply.C we now have fewer bio-species than before.D numerous strains of plants can resist plagues. 64. With regard to the variety of apples in the United States ___________ A it is the fewest in variety in terms of plant family. B over80% of its varieties have been destroyed.C we have done our best to protect it.D it is as wide as it was 100 years ago.65. The author tells the story in Ireland in the 1840?s to show that _________ A farmers should grow as many varieties of potatoes as in South America. B potatoes should not be grown as a dietary mainstay. C lumpers were not a choice variety of potatoes. D bio-diversity is essential to life on earth.66. The uniform crop of lumpers in Ireland in the 1840?s__________ A caused blight to strike Ireland repeatedly. B caused Ireland?s population to decline by half. C destroyed the whole Irish agricultural tradition. D seriously devastated Ireland?s economy. 67. Diversity of species and diversity within species can help plants_________ A ward off some disastrous diseases and pests. B resist natural disasters such asdroughts. C withstand the harmful effect of pesticides. D yield bumper harvests. 68. Which of the following is NOT the reason that farmers replace their folk varieties with one uniform crop? A They want to make more money. B They want to have a higher output. C They want to prevent the destruction of human food. D They want to make their products more attractive. Passage Four It is a well-documented fact that women still live longer than men. A 1998 study by Harvard Medical School geriatrician Thomas Perls offers two reasons: one is the evolutionary drive to pass on her genes; the other is the need to stay healthy enough to rear as many children as possible. A man?s purpose is simply to carry genes that ensure longevity and pass them on to his children. Okay, so that?s the legacy of our cave-dweller past. But whatis it about a man?s lifestyle that reduces his longevity? As action moviemakers know all too well , men are supercharged with testosterone. Aside from forcing us to watch frenzied movies like The Matrix Reloaded, the testes-produced hormone also triggers riskier behavior and aggression, and increases levels of harmful cholesterol, raising the risk of heart disease of stroke. Meanwhile, the female hormone chops harmful cholesterol and raises “good” cholesterol. As Perls?s study points out: “Between ages 15 and 24, men are four to five times more likely to die than women. This time frame coincides with the onset of puberty and an increase in reckless and violent behavior in males. Researchers refer to it as a ?testosterone storm.? Most deaths in this male group come from motor vehicle accidents, followed by homicide, su icide….and drownings.” While all this jumpingfrom tall buildings may result in some accidental death, it still doesn?t account for the onset of fatal illnesses at an earlier age. Statistically, men are crippled more quickly by illnesses like heart disease, stroke and cancer. A Singapore study found that while men were diagnosed with chronic illness two years earlier than women, women were also disabled by their illnesses four years later. Men more often engage in riskier habits like drinking alcohol and using recreational drugs, as well as eating to excess. And the stereotype about men being adverse to seeing a doctor on a regular basis? Studies have shown its? true. If your goal is to become the first 100-year-old man on your family tree, there are some things you can do to boost your odds. One is to examine what centenarians are doing right. According to the ongoing New England Centenarian Study, the largestcomprehensive study of centenarians in the world, they can fend off or even escape age-associated diseases like heart attack, stroke, cancer, diabetes and Alzheimer?s. Ninety percent of those studied were functionally independent for the vast majority of their lives up until the age of 92 , and 75% were just as autonomous at an average age of 95. “Centenarians disprove the perception that ?the older you get, the sicker you get.? Centenarians teach us that the older you get, the healthier you?ve been.” 69. This passage mainly discusses ________ A why women lead a healthier life than men.B how women can live longer and stay healthy.C what keeps men from enjoying a longer life span.D whether men?s life style leads to their early death.70. According to Thomas Perls, which of the following is a major factor contributing to the relative longevity of women overmen? A Their natural urge to remain healthy. B Their greater natural drive to pass on genes. C Their need to bear healthy offspring. D Their desire to have more children. 71. The author mentions “the legacy of our cave-dwelle r past” to __________ A support the argument about women?s role in rearing children.B summarize a possible cause of different life expectancies.C challenge the theory about our ancestor?s behaviour patterns.D illustrate the history of human evolution process. 72. According to the passage, testosterone is a hormone that _______ A increases as men grow older. B reduces risk factors in male behaviour. C leads to aggressive behaviour and heart disease.D accounts for women?s dislike for violent films. 73. Compared with women, men as a whole ____. A suffer from depression more often. B suffer fromdiseases later than women. C are reluctant to have physical checkups. D are not affected by violent movies. 74. Centenarians refer to people who ____ A live longer than females. B live at the turn of the century. C are extremely independent. D are a hundred years or older. Passage Five Last year, Curt Dunnam bought a Chevrolet Blazer with one of the most popular new features in high-end cars: the Onstar personal security system. The heavily advertised communications and tracking feature is used nationwide by more than two million drivers, who simply push a button to connect, via a built-in cell-phone, to a member of the Onstar staff. A Global Positioning System, or , helps the employee give verbal directions to the driver or locate the car after an accident. The company can even send a signal to unlock car doors for locked-out owners, orhonk the horn to help people find their cars in an endless plain of parking spaces. The biggest selling point for the system is its use in frustrating car thieves. Once an owner reports to the police that a car has been stolen, the company can track it to help arrest the thieves, a service it performs about 400 times each month. But for Mr. Dunnam, the more he learned about his car?s security features, the less secure he felt. He has enough technical knowledge to worry that someone else---- law enforcement officers, or hackers----could listen in one his phone calls, or gain control over his automotive systems without his knowledge or consent. “While I don?t believe intentionally designed this system to facilitate such activities, they sure have made it easy,” he said.Mr. Dunnam said he had become even more concerned because of a federal appeals court case involving a criminalinvestigation, in which federal authorities had demanded that a company attach a wiretap to tracking services like those installed in his car. The suit did not reveal which company was involved. A three-judge panel in San Francisco rejected the request, but not on privacy grounds; the panel said the wiretap would interfere with the operation of the safety services. Onstar has said that its equipment was not involved in that case. An Onstar spokeswoman, Geri Lama, suggested that Mr. Dunnam?s worries were overblown.
