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 centre.Passage 1Question 51 to 55 are based on the following passage:Censorship (审查制度) is for the good of society as a whole. Imagine what chaos there would be if we lived in a society without laws. Like the law, censorship contributes to the common good.Some people think that it is disgraceful that a censor should interfere with works of art. Who is this person, they say, to ban this great book or cut that great film? No one can set himself up as a superior being. But we must remember two things. Firstly, where genuine works of art are concerned, modern censors are extremely liberal in their views----often far more liberal than a large section of the public. Artistic merit is something which censors clearly recognize. And secondly, we must bear in mind that the great proportion of books, plays and films which come before the censor are very far from being "works of art".When discussing censorship, therefore, we should not confine our attention to great masterpieces, but should consider the vast numbers of publications and films which make up the bulk (大部分) of the entertainment industry. When censorship laws are relaxed, dishonest people are given a licence to produce virtually anything in the name of "art". There is an increasing tendency to equate "artistic" with "pornographic" (色情的).So one of the great things that censorship does is to prevent certain people from making fat profits by corrupting the minds of others. Society would really be poorer if it deprived itself of the wise counsel and the restraining influence which a censor provides.51.A censor's duty is ____.A) to see there is no filthy content in publications or filmsB) to ban books and cut filmsC) to distinguish works of art from othersD) to make sure that no licence is given to dishonest people52.Some people are against censorship for the reason that ____.A) censorship is not consistent with the ideals of democracyB) censors prevent people from making profitsC) censors are conservative and cannot appreciate artistic meritD) censorship limits the way people feel and think53.When the writer says "to equate 'artistic' which 'pornographic', he means ____.A) there is no clear distinction between what is artistic and what is pornographicB) masterpieces are sometimes offensive to decencyC) many pornographic works will be published in the name of artD) artistic works and pornographic works have the same market value54.According to the writer, a society free from censorship ____.A) would be poor materiallyB) would expose its people to dangers of being corruptedC) could not develop its entertainment industryD) would allow only a small section of people to make profits55.All the following are the writer's views except that ____.A) censors are fully qualified for their jobB) masterpieces even with pornographic content are still masterpiecesC) society will not do without censorshipD) many books, plays and films are not works of artPassage 2Question 56 to 60 are based on the following passage:A few weeks ago I was talking to a school inspector in one of the more fashionable districts of Paris. She astonished me by saying that if she had young children today, she'd probably send them to a private school. She had devoted 25 years of her life to the ideal of free public education, she said, but the truth was the state system was in a mess.There are two main problems: State schools in France have to accept whatever teachers are assigned to them by the Ministry of Education. As my school inspector friend put it, "one year a school may be excellent; three or four years later, half the teachers may be incapable!" That is not very reassuring if you're a parent. Private schools can choose their own teachers.The other problem is discipline or, rather, the lack of it. Not long ago a school in Birmingham made headlines in Britain because the teachers were being terrorized by their pupils. In the desolate suburbs of low-cost apartment blocks, thrown together in the 1960s on the outskirts of most big French cities, such stories are commonplace. Vandalism(破坏他人财产的行为), drug-taking and extortion aren't limited to schools in poor areas either. A recent poll found that 88 per cent of French children rate as the biggest problem of their school lives the prevalence (流行, 猖獗)of factions and gangs which spend all their time fighting one another. Small wonder, then, that the private schools, with their emphasis on traditional values, are undergoing a new surge of popularity (despite disapproval from France's new socialist leaders), and competition to get into the best of them has now become intense.56.The French school inspector has long been a supporter of ____.A) compulsory education B) free private education C) private schools D) the state school system57.The French state education system ____.A) does not guarantee the competence of teachers B) seems to have no serious difficultiesC)is running smoothly D) promises to maintain high standards58.Private schools in France today ____.A) are generally undergoing changes for the worseB) enjoy the prestige(声望) of becoming the place to send one's children toC) have become victims of vandalismD) never hire teachers who stress traditional valuesck of discipline among students is rampant in state schools ____.A) in the Paris slums, but not in other areasB) noticeably and solely in the poorer areas in French citiesC) almost everywhere in FranceD) rather restricted to Birmingham60.France children who wish to go to the best private schools can do so by ____.A) taking highly competitive examinations B) simply sending in applicationsC) joining factions and gangs D) drawing lotsPartⅢCloze ( 10 points, 15 minutes )Directions: There are 20 blanks in the following passage. For each blank there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should choose theOne that th e best fits into the passage. Then mark the corresponding letteron the Answer Sheet with a single line through the cettre.Today vegetables, fish, fruit, meat and beer are canned in enormous quantities. Within three generations the 81 habits of millions have been revolutionized. Foods that were previously 82 may now be eaten at any time, and strange foods are 83 far from the countries where they are 84 . The crops many farmers now produce often depend on the nearness of a canning factory.The first stage in the canning 85 is the preparation of the raw food. Diseased and waste portions are thrown 86 ; meat and fish are cleaned and trimmed; fruit and vegetables washed and graded for 87 . The jobs are principally 88 by machine.The next stage, for vegetables only, is soak in very 89 or boiling water for a short time to remove air and 90 the vegetable. This makes 91 easierto pack into cans for sterilization (free from living germs).Some packing machines fill 92 to 400 cans a minute. Fruit, fish and meat are packed raw and cold into cans, and then all the air is removed. 93 the cans are sealed, the pressure inside each can is only about half the pressure of the outside air.The sterilization process which follows the cans are subjected 94 steam or boiling water, with the temperature and time 95 according to the type of food. Cans of fruit, for example, 96 only 5-10 minutes in boiling water, 97 meat and fish are cooked at higher temperatures for 98 period. After sterilization, the cans are cooled quickly to 32 degree to prevent the contents 99 becoming too soft.The final stage before sending off to the grocer is labeling, and packing the tins into boxes. Nowadays, however, labeling is often printed on in 100 by the can-maker and no paper labels are then required.81.A) eat B) eatable C) eaten D) eating82.A) monthly B) year-round C) seasonal D) quarterly83.A) accessible B) obtained C) available D) usable84.A) planting B) grown C) growing D) producing85.A) process B) reaction C) procession D) program86.A) about B) away C) down D) up87.A) size B) length C) height D) breadth88.A) had B) fulfilled C) pocked D) done89.A) chilly B) cold C) hot D) freezing90.A) soften B) cook C) steam D) harden91.A) them B) it C) us D) that92.A) up B) down C) in D) on93.A) When B) If C) Although D) Before94.A) on B) to C) in D) at95.A) varies B) vary C) varied D) varying96.A) cost B) spend C) take D) consume97.A) as B) because C) while D) for98.A) less B) longer C) shorter D) more99.A) off B) through C) by D) from100. A) fashion B) before hand C) advance D)practicePart IV English-Chinese Translation (20 points, 15 minutes) Directions: In this part, there are six items which you should translate into Chinese, each item consisting one or more sentences. They are all taken from the reading passage you have just read.① (line 1-3, para. 3, passage 1 ) When discussing censorship, therefore, we should not confine our attention to great masterpieces, but should consider the vast numbers of publications and films which make up the bulk (大部分) of the entertainment industry.② (line 2-3, para. 2, passage 2 ) As my school inspector friend put it, "one year a school may be excellent; three or four years later, half the teachers may be incapable!"③ (line 5-7, para. 2, passage 3 ) He must serve as a man responsible for the fortune he has earned and use that fortune to provide greater opportunity for all and to increase man’s knowledge of himself and of his universe.④ (line 2-4, para. 2, Passage 4 ) It is just one of several techniques being tried at U.S. medical schools and hospitals in an attempt to deal with the most universal complaint about doctors: lack of sympathy.⑤ (line 6-9, para. 1, Passage 5 ) Differentials(差异)in infant mortality were very large---75 per cent higher in poverty than in nonpoverty areas. In both cases, the differences between white and nonwhite were even more substantial than between poverty and nonpoverty areas.⑥ (line 3-4, para. 4, passage 6) Monitoring by computer has proven to be very accurate and increases early discovery of life threatening events.

Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET.Passage OneWe are all busy talking about and using the Internet, but how many of us know the history of the Internet?Many people are surprised when they find that the Internet was set up as recently as the 1960s. At that time, computers were large and expensive. Computer networks didn’t work well. If one computer in the network broke down, then the whole network stopped. So a new network system had to be set up. It should be good enough to be used by many different computers. If part of the network was not working, information could be sen through another part. In this way the computer network system would keep on working all the time.At first the Internet was only used by the government, but in the 1970s, universities, hospitals and banks began to use it, too. However, computers were still very expensive and the Internet was difficult to use. At the beginning of the 1990s, computers became cheaper and easier to use. Andscientists developed software that made Internet “surfing”more convenient.Today it is easy to get online and it is said that millions of people use the Internet every day.16.

He did not want to be early or late. He had forgotten to put on his watch so he went up to a man who was waiting for a taxi.“Excuse me, sir,” he said, very politely, “but could you tell me the time?”The man, who was very well-dressed and looked quite rich, said nothing. He did not even look at Alan. Alan spoke to him again. “Excuse me, sir,”he said, “but could you please tell me what time it is?”This time the man looked at him, but he did not speak and looked quickly away. Alan thought to himself: well, he can hear me; he must be just rude. So Alan asked again, “Why wouldn’t you tell me the time, sir?”The man turned towards him and said, “Put yourself in my shoes. I am standing here waiting for a taxi. You come up to me and ask me for the time. If I tell it to you, you will thank me. I will say ‘That’s all right.’ You may then say ‘It’s a beautiful day,’ to which I may reply ‘Yes, I like these sunny winter days.’ Before we know what is happening we have a friendly conversation. You are a pleasant, polite yo7ung man, so when my taxi comes, I offer you a ride. You accept. We talk. I like you. You like me. I invite you to my home. You meet my daughter. She is a very pretty girl. You are a good-looking man. You like each other. Soonyou fall in love. You want to marry. Now do you understand my problem?”Alan shook his head. “No, sir, I’m sorry, I don’t. Everything you have said seems very natural to me.”“Exactly,” the man said, “and I do not want my daughter to marry a man who is too poor to buy a watch. Good morning to you.” And with these words he hurried away.21. Why did Alan ask the man what time it was?A. He was too late.B. He was very early.C. He had left his watch home.D.

The story is mainly about ____________.A. how rude a person can beB. how one thing leads to anotherC. where a person can’t tell the timeD. why you shouldn’t speak to strangersPassage ThreeWhat are the beauties of Hawaii? Let’s start with four.The beach, famous for its water temperature, air temperature and waves, is the first beauty. There are hundreds of miles of beaches on the twenty islands of Hawaii. They are thought to be among the finest beaches in the world.Then, what do you think would be the second beautiful thing? It is volcanoes (火山), of course. These volcanoes are not just a part of the islands; they made the islands in the first place. Because of them the islands are still growing.What would be the third thing of beauty that the first visitor to Hawaii would notice? It probably wouldn’t be just one thing, but many things: all the wonderful fruits and flowers of the islands. Sugar cane, bananas and pineapples are Hawaii’s biggest exports. Sugar cane has been growing in Hawaii for a thousand years. As for pineapples, the islands produce more than any other places in the world, which has made Dole Company the biggest fruit-packing company in the world.The fourth and most beautiful thing about Hawaii is the people who live there. The Hawaiians never rush, and perhaps this is because they care more for human life than they care for the machine. There is an old Hawaiian law that a man can go to sleep in the middle of the road if he wants to.。

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 centre.Passage 1Question 51 to 55 are based on the following passage:Censorship (审查制度) is for the good of society as a whole. Imagine what chaos there would be if we lived in a society without laws. Like the law, censorship contributes to the common good.Some people think that it is disgraceful that a censor should interfere with works of art. Who is this person, they say, to ban this great book or cut that great film? No one can set himself up as a superior being. But we must remember two things. Firstly, where genuine works of art are concerned, modern censors are extremely liberal in their views----often far more liberal than a large section of the public. Artistic merit is something which censors clearly recognize. And secondly, we must bear in mind that the great proportion of books, plays and films which come before the censor are very far from being "works of art".When discussing censorship, therefore, we should not confine our attention to great masterpieces, but should consider the vast numbers of publications and films which make up the bulk (大部分) of the entertainment industry. When censorship laws are relaxed, dishonest people are given a licence to produce virtually anything in the name of "art". There is an increasing tendency to equate "artistic" with "pornographic" (色情的).So one of the great things that censorship does is to prevent certain people from making fat profits by corrupting the minds of others. Society would really be poorer if it deprived itself of the wise counsel and the restraining influence which a censor provides.51.A censor's duty is ____.A) to see there is no filthy content in publications or filmsB) to ban books and cut filmsC) to distinguish works of art from othersD) to make sure that no licence is given to dishonest people52.Some people are against censorship for the reason that ____.A) censorship is not consistent with the ideals of democracyB) censors prevent people from making profitsC) censors are conservative and cannot appreciate artistic meritD) censorship limits the way people feel and think53.When the writer says "to equate 'artistic' which 'pornographic', he means ____.A) there is no clear distinction between what is artistic and what is pornographicB) masterpieces are sometimes offensive to decencyC) many pornographic works will be published in the name of artD) artistic works and pornographic works have the same market value54.According to the writer, a society free from censorship ____.A) would be poor materiallyB) would expose its people to dangers of being corruptedC) could not develop its entertainment industryD) would allow only a small section of people to make profits55.All the following are the writer's views except that ____.A) censors are fully qualified for their jobB) masterpieces even with pornographic content are still masterpiecesC) society will not do without censorshipD) many books, plays and films are not works of artPassage 2Question 56 to 60 are based on the following passage:A few weeks ago I was talking to a school inspector in one of the more fashionable districts of Paris. She astonished me by saying that if she had young children today, she'd probably send them to a private school. She had devoted 25 years of her life to the ideal of free public education, she said, but the truth was thestate system was in a mess.There are two main problems: State schools in France have to accept whatever teachers are assigned to them by the Ministry of Education. As my school inspector friend put it, "one year a school may be excellent; three or four years later, half the teachers may be incapable!" That is not very reassuring if you're a parent. Private schools can choose their own teachers.The other problem is discipline or, rather, the lack of it. Not long ago a school in Birmingham made headlines in Britain because the teachers were being terrorized by their pupils. In the desolate suburbs of low-cost apartment blocks, thrown together in the 1960s on the outskirts of most big French cities, such stories are commonplace. Vandalism(破坏他人财产的行为), drug-taking and extortion aren't limited to schools in poor areas either.A recent poll found that 88 per cent of French children rate as the biggest problem of their school lives the prevalence (流行, 猖獗)of factions and gangs which spend all their time fighting one another. Small wonder, then, that the private schools, with their emphasis on traditional values, are undergoing a new surge of popularity (despite disapproval from France's new socialist leaders), and competition to get into the best of them has now become intense.56.The French school inspector has long been a supporter of ____.A) compulsory education B) free private education C) private schools D) the state school system57.The French state education system ____.A) does not guarantee the competence of teachers B) seems to have no serious difficultiesC)is running smoothly D) promises to maintain highstandards58.Private schools in France today ____.A) are generally undergoing changes for the worseB) enjoy the prestige(声望) of becoming the place to send one's children toC) have become victims of vandalismD) never hire teachers who stress traditional values/doc/49bb925d846fb84ae45c3b3567 ec102de3bddf49.html ck of discipline among students is rampant in state schools ____.A) in the Paris slums, but not in other areasB) noticeably and solely in the poorer areas in French citiesC) almost everywhere in FranceD) rather restricted to Birmingham60.France children who wish to go to the best private schools can do so by ____.A) taking highly competitive examinations B) simply sending in applicationsC) joining factions and gangs D) drawing lotsPartⅢCloze ( 10 points, 15 minutes )Directions: There are 20 blanks in the following passage. For each blank there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should choose theOne that th e best fits into the passage. Then mark the corresponding letteron the Answer Sheet with a single line through the cettre.Today vegetables, fish, fruit, meat and beer are canned in enormous quantities. Within three generations the 81 habits of millions have been revolutionized. Foods that were previously 82 may now be eaten at any time, and strange foods are 83 far fromthe countries where they are 84 . The crops many farmers now produce often depend on the nearness of a canning factory.The first stage in the canning 85 is the preparation of the raw food. Diseased and waste portions are thrown 86 ; meat and fish are cleaned and trimmed; fruit and vegetables washed and graded for 87 . The jobs are principally 88 by machine.The next stage, for vegetables only, is soak in very 89 or boiling water for a short time to remove air and 90 the vegetable. This makes 91 easierto pack into cans for sterilization (free from living germs).Some packing machines fill 92 to 400 cans a minute. Fruit, fish and meat are packed raw and cold into cans, and then all the air is removed. 93 the cans are sealed, the pressure inside each can is only about half the pressure of the outside air.The sterilization process which follows the cans are subjected 94 steam or boiling water, with the temperature and time 95 according to the type of food. Cans of fruit, for example, 96 only 5-10 minutes in boiling water, 97 meat and fish are cooked at higher temperatures for 98 period. After sterilization, the cans are cooled quickly to 32 degree to prevent the contents 99 becoming too soft.The final stage before sending off to the grocer is labeling, and packing the tins into boxes. Nowadays, however, labeling is often printed on in 100 by the can-maker and no paper labels are then required.81.A) eat B) eatable C) eaten D) eating82.A) monthly B) year-round C) seasonal D) quarterly83.A) accessible B) obtained C) available D) usable84.A) planting B) grown C) growing D) producing85.A) process B) reaction C) procession D) program86.A) about B) away C) down D) up87.A) size B) length C) height D) breadth88.A) had B) fulfilled C) pocked D) done89.A) chilly B) cold C) hot D) freezing90.A) soften B) cook C) steam D) harden91.A) them B) it C) us D) that92.A) up B) down C) in D) on93.A) When B) If C) Although D) Before94.A) on B) to C) in D) at95.A) varies B) vary C) varied D) varying96.A) cost B) spend C) take D) consume97.A) as B) because C) while D) for98.A) less B) longer C) shorter D) more99.A) off B) through C) by D) from100.

At that time, computers were large and expensive. Computer networks didn’t work well. If one computer in the network broke down, then the whole network stopped. So a new network system had to be set up. It should be good enough to be used by many different computers. If part of the network was not working, information could be sen through another part. In this way the computer network system would keep on working all the time.At first the Internet was only used by the government, but in the 1970s, universities, hospitals and banks began to use it, too. However, computers were still very expensive and the Internet was difficult to use. At the beginning of the 1990s, computers became cheaper and easier to use. Andscientists developed software that made Internet “surfing”more convenient.Today it is easy to get online and it is said that millions of people use the Internet every day.16.

He did not want to be early or late. He had forgotten to put on his watch so he went up to a man who was waiting for a taxi.“Excuse me, sir,” he said, very politely, “but could you tell me the time?”The man, who was very well-dressed and looked quite rich, said nothing. He did not even look at Alan. Alan spoke to himagain. “Excuse me, sir,”he said, “but could you please tell me what time it is?”This time the man looked at him, but he did not speak and looked quickly away. Alan thought to himself: well, he can hear me; he must be just rude. So Alan asked ag ain, “Why wouldn’t you tell me the time, sir?”The man turned towards him and said, “Put yourself in my shoes. I am standing here waiting for a taxi. You come up to me and ask me for the time. If I tell it to you, you will thank me. I will say ‘That’s all right.’ You may then say ‘It’s a beautiful day,’ to which I may reply ‘Yes, I like these sunny winter days.’ Before we know what is happening we have a friendly conversation. You are a pleasant, polite yo7ung man, so when my taxi comes, I offer you a ride. You accept. We talk. I like you. You like me. I invite you to my home. You meet my daughter. She is a very pretty girl. You are a good-looking man. You like each other. Soonyou fall in love. You want to marry. Now do you understand my problem?”Alan shook his head. “No, sir, I’m sorry, I don’t. Everything you have said seems very natural to me.”“Exactly,” the man said, “and I do not want my daughter to marry a man who is too poor to buy a watch. Good morning to you.” And with these words he hurried away.21. Why did Alan ask the man what time it was?A. He was too late.B. He was very early.C. He had left his watch home.D.

Let’s start with four.The beach, famous for its water temperature, air temperature and waves, is the first beauty. There are hundreds of miles of beaches on the twenty islands of Hawaii. They are thought to be among the finest beaches in the world.Then, what do you think would be the second beautiful thing? It is volcanoes (火山), of course. These volcanoes are not just a part of the islands; they made the islands in the first place. Because of them the islands are still growing.What would be the third thing of beauty that the first visitor to Hawaii would notice? It probably wouldn’t be just one thing, but many things: all the wonderful fruits and flowers of the islands. Sugar cane, bananas and pin eapples are Hawaii’s biggest exports. Sugar cane has been growing in Hawaii for a thousand years. As for pineapples, the islands produce more than any other places in the world, which has made Dole Company the biggest fruit-packing company in the world.The fourth and most beautiful thing about Hawaii is the people who live there. The Hawaiians never rush, and perhaps this is because they care more for human life than they care for the machine. There is an old Hawaiian law that a man can go to sleep in the middle of the road if he wants to.What makes the people of Hawaii so beautiful is their feeling about people. There are 64 different combinations of races on the islands, and they all live in peace. They believe “Above all nations is humanity.” That is th e most beautiful thing of all.26. According to the passage, Hawaii is made up of ___________.A. one islandB. twenty islandsC. sixty-four islandsD. hundreds of islands27. Why are the volcanoes so special to the islands?A. They are not a part of the islands.B. They actually made the islands.C. They are the first in the world.D. They are growing.28. What has made Dole Company the biggest fruit-packing company in the world?。

Le t’s start with four.The beach, famous for its water temperature, air temperature and waves, is the first beauty. There are hundreds of miles of beaches on the twenty islands of Hawaii. They are thought to be among the finest beaches in the world.Then, what do you think would be the second beautiful thing? It is volcanoes (火山), of course. These volcanoes are not just a part of the islands; they made the islands in the first place. Because of them the islands are still growing.What would be the third thing of beauty that the first visitor to Hawaii would notice? It probably wouldn’t be just one thing, but many things: all the wonderful fruits and flowers of the islands. Sugar cane, bananas and pineapples are Hawaii’s biggest exports. Sugar cane has been growing in Hawaii for a thousand years. As for pineapples, the islands produce more than any other places in the world,which has made Dole Company the biggest fruit-packing company in the world.The fourth and most beautiful thing about Hawaii is the people who live there. The Hawaiians never rush, and perhaps this is because they care more for human life than they care for the machine. There is an old Hawaiian law that a man can go to sleep in the middle of the road if he wants to. What makes the people of Hawaii so beautiful is their feeling about people. There are 64 different combinations of races on the islands, and they all live in peace. They believe “Above all nations is humanity.〞That is the most beautiful thing of all.26. According to the passage, Hawaii is made up of B__.A. one islandB. twenty islandsC. sixty-four islandsD. hundreds of islands27. Why are the volcanoes so special to the islands? BA. They are not a part of the islands.B. They actually made the islands.C. They are the first in the world.D. They are growing.28. What has made Dole Company the biggest fruit-packing company in the world? DA. Sugar.B. Sugar cane.C. Bananas.D. Pineapples.29. The people in Hawaii are the most beautiful thing because _ D_.A. they had a peaceful historyB. they can sleep in the middle of the roadC. there are 64 different races on the islandsD. they care more for people than anything else30. According to the passage, “above all nations is humanity〞might mean __C .A. not all nations have humanityB. humanity is as important as a nationC. humanity has no national boundariesD. all human beings should live in peacePassage FourThere is a measurable relation between how much a person learns and his attitude toward the subject to be learned. When faced with a difficult learning task, one path to success is to concentrate on the positive aspects of the subject matter. If a student has a boring teacher, one solution is to look for the positive aspects of completing the course, regardless of how boring the teacher happens to be. To accomplish this might require a private tutor or some independent reading, but with the right attitude, success is possible.Over-achievers –students who do better than their test scores show –usually have a positive interest toward learning. They may learn some things more slowly, and they may make more efforts, but, to compensate (补偿), they are often better at applying what they have learned. As long as they do not have emotional problems, they are successful.Under-achievers – those who function below their ability shown by test scored –often tend to allow a few negative factors to affect them. Because of their negative attitudes, they sometimes become unfairly critical of teachers. They allow themselves to get bored when it is not necessary. In short, their attitudes often cause them to learn less than over-achievers.If you learn to replace a negative attitude toward learning with something more positive, you are on the road to achieving almost any goal you desire. For example, if you realize a personal computer with a word processor would improve your performance, but have an attitude that keeps telling you that a computer is difficult to operate, you tend to make all kinds of excuses. In short, you resist making full use of a terrific tool, simply because your negative attitude prevents you from learning.31. What does the author think a student should do if he has a boring teacher? DA. Look for a new course.B. Be critical of the teacher.C. Complete the course with a good score.D. Have a right attitude toward the teacher.32. The writer thinks that over-achievers and under-achievers mainly differ in __C.A. their test scoresB. their judgment of othersC. their attitudes toward learningD. theirskills in using computers33. The underlined phrase function below their abilityshown by test scores means the under-achievers B_.A. often get low scores in testsB. do worse in actual learning than in testsC. usually do better in tests than the over-achieversD. are always slow in learning and have to make more efforts34. The example of the personal computer shows that __B.A. finding excuses helps in learningB. to react negatively can be harmfulC. hard-working is the key to successD. making use of the computer is important35. What is the main idea of the passage? AA. Attitudes play an important role in learning.B. Students should learn how to use personal computers.C. Teachers are not so important in the learning process.D. There are many differences between over-and under-achievers.Part III Vocabulary and Structure (20 points)Directions: There are 40 incomplete sentences in this part.

广东2024学位英语考试真题及答案

广东2024学位英语考试真题及答案全文共6篇示例，供读者参考篇1The 2024 Guangdong University Entrance English Test - A Kid's PerspectiveHey guys! I'm Tommy, a 5th grader who just took the big university entrance English exam in Guangdong this year. My older sister is applying to colleges, so I tagged along to see what all the fuss was about. I've gotta say, that test was no joke! There were reading passages, grammar questions, and even an essay portion. I'm just a kid, but I'll do my best to break it down for you.The Reading SectionThis part had a few different reading passages about topics like science, history, and culture. The passages weren't super long, but they used some pretty big vocabulary words that even I had trouble with. Words like "ubiquitous" and "ephemeral" - what do those even mean?!After each passage, there were comprehension questions testing if you understood the main ideas and important details. Those weren't too bad if you read carefully. But then there were questions about the author's tone, purpose, and which statements from the passage supported certain ideas. Those inferencing questions were tricky!I had to really read between the lines and use my critical thinking skills, just like my English teacher is always reminding us. Overall, the reading section tested if you could understand academic texts at a pretty high level. I give it a solid 7/10 on the difficulty scale.The Grammar GangNext up was the grammar section - my personal nemesis! There were questions testing our knowledge of verb tenses, adjective clauses, parallel structure, and more. As an elementary student, I'm still learning a lot of those grammar rules in my own language, let alone English.Some of the questions asked us to identify the errors in sentences. For example:"The scientist who experiment was a success will present her findings."Can you spot what's wrong there? The verb "experiment" should be "experimenting" to match the subject. Tricky stuff!Other questions tested advanced grammatical concepts like the subjunctive mood (huh?!) and reduced relative clauses. I'm still fuzzy on what those even are! Let's just say the grammar part made my brain hurt. I'll give it a 9/10 difficulty rating for sure.The Unstoppable EssayJust when I thought the test couldn't get any harder, we made it to the essay portion. Could you believe they asked college applicants to write a persuasive essay analyzing a complex social issue? In English?! As if coming up with a thesis statement and supporting arguments isn't hard enough in my native language.The essay prompt was something like: "Many developed nations are experiencing a rise in political polarization and a breakdown of civil discourse. What are the underlying causes of this phenomenon and what steps can societies take to address it?"Come on, how is a 10-year-old kid supposed to intelligently discuss political polarization? That just sounds like some fancy grown-up words put together. I ended up just writing about howpeople should be nicer to each other and find common ground. Hey, it's not great, but I tried!For anyone actually taking this test to get into university, you'd better brush up on your academic writing skills. Being able to clearly express complex ideas in English with proper organization, grammar, and vocabulary is no joke. I'll give the essay a 10/10 on the uh-oh difficulty scale.The Final VerdictOverall, the 2024 Guangdong Graduate Entrance English Test was no walk in the park. It really tested your ability to understand, analyze, and produce English at a high academic level. All those reading comprehension skills, grammar rules, and essay writing techniques they drill into our heads in school? Yeah, those all came into play in a big way.As an elementary student, I may have been in over my head just a little bit. But I gave it my best shot and had fun getting a sneak peek into the life of a university applicant. You older kids out there better study hard because this test is brutal!If you put in the hard work though, you'll build the English skills to slay this exam. Then you'll be off to a great university and maybe even become fluent in English one day. Just don't forgetthe kid who struggled through a preview of the big test. Leave some snacks for me when you make it big, okay?That's all I've got, folks! This has been Tommy's 2024 Guangdong Graduate Entr ance English Test Exposé. Check your admissions booklets for the real answer keys because this kid is still a few years away from being able to solve those zingers. English tests are hard, but hopefully this gave you a kid's-eye view into what it's all about. Now if you'll excuse me, I've got some grammar drills to review...篇2The 2024 Guangdong Entrance Exam for English ThingyHi everyone! My name is Xiaoming and I'm a 5th grader. This year I had to take the Guangdong Entrance Exam for English Proficiency Test. That's a really long name so I'm just going to call it the English Thingy.The English Thingy was really hard! I had to study a whole bunch to get ready for it. My teacher Miss Li made us practice listening, reading, writing and speaking in English every day for months before the test. I don't really like English that much but I worked really hard because I want to go to a good middle school.On the day of the test, I was super nervous. My mom made me a special breakfast with my favorite congee and pickled radishes to help me feel better. I double and triple checked that I had enough pencils and erasers in my pencil case. I almost forgot my water bottle but my dad reminded me at the last second. Phew!The test had four sections just like Miss Li said - listening, reading, writing, and speaking. I'll tell you all about each one.ListeningThe listening part was first. We had to put on these huge headphones that made my ears sweat. The recording played different conversations and passages and we had to bubble in the correct answers on a answer sheet.Some of the conversations were pretty easy, like this one:Woman: Excuse me, where is the bathroom?Man: Go down this hallway and turn right. The bathroom is the second door on your left.Woman: Thank you.The question asked where the bathroom was located. I bubbled in "second door on the left" for that one.But others were super hard and confusing. Like this one about the weather:Meteorologist: A strong cold front is approaching the region from the northwest, bringing freezing temperatures and snowfall tonight through Tuesday morning. Residents should prepare for hazardous driving conditions and power outages. Stay indoors if possible and avoid any unnecessary travel.I got super lost with all the meteorologist words like "front" and "hazardous." I probably got that one wrong.ReadingAfter listening, we moved on to the reading section. This part had longer passages that we had to read and then answer comprehension questions about them.One passage was about the history of the bicycle. That one was kind of boring but the questions were pretty easy if you read it carefully. Like "When was the first bicycle invented?" and "What were early bicycles made of?"Another reading was way more interesting - it was a story about a girl who accidentally got shrunken down to the size of an insect! She had all these adventures in her own backyard, getting chased by spiders and helping her ant friends carry crumbs. Atthe end she figured out the cure to turn back to normal size. I loved that story and the questions about it were fun.WritingThen it was time for the writing part. We had to write a short essay in English of at least 150 words. The prompt asked us to write about an experience that taught us an important lesson.I wrote about the time I overslept and missed the school bus because I was up too late playing video games the night before. I learned my lesson about time management and making sure to get enough sleep. Miss Li was always telling us to "eat AT the desk, not ON the desk" which means don't play games late at night and sleep in class! So I wrote all about that.Some kids wrote about learning lessons like being kind to others, working hard, or telling the truth. As long as you had a clear lesson and examples, you could get a good score.SpeakingFinally, the very last part was the speaking section. One at a time, we had to go into a private room with a examiner and answer some questions out loud in English.The first part was easy, they just asked stuff like "What's your name?", "How old are you?", and "What's your favorite subject in school?" Piece of cake.Then they asked me to look at a picture of a playground and describe what I saw in the picture, like the slide, swing set, trees, etc. That wasn't too bad.But the hardest part was when they gave me a situation and I had to pretend to have a conversation. My situation was that I was purchasing movie tickets and I had to ask for things like how much they cost, what time the movie started, if there were any discounts, and so on. I got pretty tongue-tied and messed up a few times. The examiner didn't seem too impressed!Whew, that's everything that was on the big English Thingy test! My brain was fried by the end of it. I really hoped I did well since I want to make it into a good middle school program. A couple weeks later I got my scores back - I passed! My writing and reading were pretty good but I struggled more on the listening and speaking parts.Oh well, I'll just have to keep studying and practicing my English skills. Maybe next year's test will be a little easier!篇3广东2024学位英语考试真题及答案第一部分：听力测试（20分）听录音，选出正确的单词。

At that time, computers were large and expensive. Computer networks didn ’twork well. If one computer in the network broke down, then the whole network stopped. So a new network system had to be set up. It should be good enough to be used by many different computers. If part of the network was not working, information could be sent through another part. In this way the computer network system would keep on working all the time.At first the Internet was only used by the government, but in the 1970s, universities, hospitals and banks began to use it, too. However, computers were still very expensive and the Internet was difficult to use. At the beginning of the 1990s, computers became cheaper and easier to use.

He did not even look at Alan. Alan spoke to him again. “Excuse me, sir,”he said, “but could you please tell me what time it is ”This time the man looked at him, but he did not speak and looked quickly away.

I am standing here waiting for a taxi. You come up to me and ask me for the time. If I tell it to you, you will thank me.

Thereare hundreds of miles of beaches on the twenty islands of Hawaii. They are thought to be among the finest beaches in the world.Then, what do you think would be the second beautiful thing It is volcanoes (火山), of course. These volcanoes are not just a part of the islands; they made the islands in the first place. Because of them the islands are still growing.What would be the third thing of beauty that the first visitor to Hawaii would notice It probably wouldn ’tbe just one thing, but many things: all the wonderful fruits and flowers of the islands. Sugar cane, bananas and pineapples are Hawaii ’s biggest exports. Sugar cane has been growing in Hawaii for a thousand years. As for pineapples, the islands produce more than any other places in the world, which has made Dole Company the biggest fruit-packing company in the world.The fourth and most beautiful thing about Hawaii is the people who live there. The Hawaiians never rush, and perhaps this is because they care more for human life than they care for the machine. There is an old Hawaiian law that a man can go to sleep in the middle of the road if he wants to. What makes the people of Hawaii so beautiful is their feeling about people. There are 64 different combinations of races onthe islands, and they all live in peace. They believe “Above all nations is humanity. ”That is the most beautiful thing of all.26. According to the passage, Hawaii is made up of B__.A. one islandB. twenty islandsC. sixty-four islandsD. hundreds of islands27. Why are the volcanoes so special to the islands BA.

According to the passage, “above all nations is humanity ”might mean __C .A. not all nations have humanityB. humanity is as important as a nationC. humanity has no national boundariesD. all human beings should live in peacePassage FourThere is a measurable relation between how much a person learns and his attitude toward the subjectto be learned. When faced with a difficult learning task, one path to success is to concentrate on the positive aspects of the subject matter. If a student has a boring teacher, one solution is to look for the positive aspects of completing the course, regardless of how boring the teacher happens to be. To accomplish this might require a private tutor or some independent reading, but with the right attitude, success is possible.Over-achievers –students who do better than their test scores show –usually have a positive interest toward learning. They may learn some things more slowly, and they may make more efforts, but, to compensate (补偿 ), they are often better at applying what they have learned. As long as they do not have emotional problems, they are successful.Under-achievers –those who function below their ability shown by test scored –often tend to allow a few negative factors to affect them. Because of their negative attitudes, they sometimes become unfairly critical of teachers. They allow themselves to get bored when it is not necessary. In short, their attitudesoften cause them to learn less than over-achievers.If you learn to replace a negative attitude toward learning with something more positive, you are onthe road to achieving almost any goal you desire. For example, if you realize a personal computer with a word processor would improve your performance, but have an attitude that keeps telling you that a computer is difficult to operate, you tend to make all kinds of excuses. In short, you resist making full useof a terrific tool, simply because your negative attitude prevents you from learning.31. What does the author think a student should do if he has a boring teacher DA. Look for a new course.B. Be critical of the teacher.C. Complete the course with a good score.D. Have a right attitude toward the teacher .32. The writer thinks that over-achievers and under-achievers mainly differ in __C.A. their test scoresB. their judgment of othersC. their attitudes toward learningD. their skills in using computers33. The underlined phrase function below their ability shown by test scores means the under-achievers B_.A. often get low scores in testsB. do worse in actual learning than in testsC. usually do better in tests than the over-achieversD. are always slow in learning and have to make more efforts34. The example of the personal computer shows that __B.A. finding excuses helps in learningB. to react negatively can be harmfulC. hard-working is the key to successD. making use of the computer is important35. What is the main idea of the passage AA. Attitudes play an important role in learning .B. Students should learn how to use personal computers.C. Teachers are not so important in the learning process.D. There are many differences between over-and under-achievers.Part III Vocabulary and Structure (20 points)Directions: There are 40 incomplete sentences in this part.

广东学士学位英语考试作文

广东学士学位英语考试作文The Guangdong Bachelor's Degree English Exam is a crucial assessment for students in the Guangdong province of China. This exam evaluates the English proficiency of students pursuing a bachelor's degree, and it is a significant milestone in their academic journey. In this essay, we will delve into the historical background and development of this exam, analyze different perspectives and opinions surrounding it, provide case studies or examples to illustrate key points, offer a critical evaluation of the exam, and conclude with future implications or recommendations related to it.The Guangdong Bachelor's Degree English Exam has a rich historical background that dates back to the early 1980s when China started opening up to the world. As the country's economy and international relations flourished, there was a growing need for citizens proficient in English to engage in global interactions. The exam was thus established to ensure that students pursuing a bachelor's degree in Guangdong province had a strong command of the English language, enabling them to contribute effectively to the country's development and global engagement.Over the years, the exam has evolved to reflect the changing dynamics of the global landscape and the advancements in language learning and teaching. It has adapted to incorporate modern teaching methodologies, technological advancements, and the evolving needs of students and employers. The exam's development mirrors China's progression as a global powerhouse, emphasizing the importance of English proficiency in an increasingly interconnected world.When considering the Guangdong Bachelor's Degree English Exam, it is essential to analyze different perspectives and opinions surrounding the topic. Some stakeholders may view the exam as a rigorous yet necessary assessment that ensures students are equipped with the language skills required for academic and professional success. They may argue that proficiency in English opens doors to a wide array of opportunities, including higher education abroad, international job placements, and effective communication in global settings.On the other hand, some individuals may express concerns about the exam's potential to create undue stress and pressure on students. They may argue that the emphasis on exam performance could overshadow the true essence of language learning, which should prioritize effective communication and practicalapplication of language skills. Additionally, there may be discussions about the inclusivity of the exam, considering the diverse linguistic backgrounds and learning abilities of students.To illustrate key points, let us consider a case study of a student preparing for the Guangdong Bachelor's Degree English Exam. Li, a diligent and ambitious student, has been diligently studying for the exam, dedicating long hours to mastering vocabulary, grammar, and comprehension skills. However, as the exam date approaches, Li experiences immense pressure and anxiety, fearing that a single assessment could determine her academic and professional future. This case study highlights the personal and emotional toll that high-stakes exams can have on students, shedding light on the human aspect of academic assessments.In critically evaluating the Guangdong Bachelor's Degree English Exam, it is essential to acknowledge both its benefits and drawbacks. On one hand, the exam serves as a benchmark for English proficiency, ensuring that graduates possess the necessary language skills to thrive in an increasingly globalized world. It also provides a standardized assessment that can be used for academic and professional evaluations, offering a level playing field for students from diverse backgrounds.However, the exam's drawbacks cannot be overlooked. The intense focus on exam preparation may lead to rote memorization and test-taking strategies, overshadowing the holistic development of language skills. Moreover, the exam's high-stakes nature could exacerbate stress and anxiety among students, potentially impacting their mental well-being and overall learning experience.Looking towards the future, it is imperative to consider the implications and recommendations related to the Guangdong Bachelor's Degree English Exam. While theexam's significance in assessing English proficiency is undeniable, there is a need to strike a balance between standardized assessments and holistic language learning. Educators and policymakers should explore innovative approaches to language education, emphasizing practical communication skills, critical thinking, and cultural understanding alongside exam preparation.Furthermore, there is a growing call for diversified assessment methods that encompass a range of language skills, including speaking, listening, and writing, to provide a more comprehensive evaluation of students' language proficiency. Additionally, mental health support and stress management resources should be readily available to students preparing for high-stakes exams, ensuring theirwell-being remains a priority amidst academic pursuits.In conclusion, the Guangdong Bachelor's Degree English Exam holds significant importance in evaluating students' English proficiency, reflecting the broader context of China's global engagement and language education. However, it is essential to approach assessments critically, considering their impact onstudents' holistic development and well-being. By embracing a balanced approach to language education and assessment, we can empower students to thrive in a multilingual and interconnected world, fostering a generation of global citizens equipped with language skills and cultural understanding.。

广东学位英语历年作文真题及答案

广东学位英语历年作文真题及答案In the realm of English proficiency exams in Guangdong province, the Guangdong College English Test (GCET) holds a prominent position. As an integral part of the academic journey for many students, the GCET not only tests their language skills but also gauges their comprehension and application of English in academic settings. The writing section, in particular, presents a unique challenge as it demands not only fluency but also depth of thought and originality.Over the years, the GCET has presented a diverse array of writing prompts, designed to test students' ability to express themselves clearly and coherently. These prompts range from discussing the impact of technology on dailylife to analyzing social issues and even exploring personal experiences. The questions often come with a set of instructions that guide students towards a particular writing style or format, such as argumentative essays, narrative pieces, or critical analyses.In this article, we delve into some of the recent writing topics from the GCET and provide insights into howstudents can approach them effectively. We also offer sample answers to these prompts, highlighting key points and strategies that can help candidates achieve a higher score.**Topic 1: The Impact of Technology on Our Daily Lives**In today's digital era, technology has become an integral part of our daily lives. From smartphones and social media to online shopping and virtual reality, technology has transformed the way we interact with the world. However, this rapid technological advancement has also brought about various challenges, such as increased anxiety, depression, and loneliness. Discuss the pros and cons of technology in our daily lives and suggest ways to mitigate its negative impacts.**Sample Answer:**Technology has indeed revolutionized our lives, providing unprecedented convenience and access to information. The widespread use of smartphones and social media has made communication easier and faster, while online shopping and virtual reality have opened up newhorizons of entertainment and learning. However, this technological boom has not been without its costs. The constant stream of information and social comparisons on social media can lead to anxiety and depression, while the virtual world can foster feelings of loneliness and isolation. To mitigate these negative impacts, we can adopt a more mindful approach to technology use, limiting screen time and prioritizing real-world interactions. Additionally, we can focus on cultivating healthy habits, such as regular exercise, meditation, and quality sleep, to promote overall well-being.**Topic 2: The Importance of Critical Thinking in Academic Settings**Critical thinking is an essential skill in academic settings as it helps students analyze and evaluate information, arguments, and perspectives. Discuss the importance of critical thinking in the academic world and provide examples of how it can be applied in various academic disciplines.**Sample Answer:**Critical thinking is the cornerstone of academic success, as it enables students to dissect complex issues and arrive at informed conclusions. In the academic world, critical thinking is crucial for evaluating research, analyzing data, and understanding diverse perspectives. In the field of literature, for instance, critical thinking helps students interpret texts, identify themes, and appreciate the author's intent. In science, it enables them to question assumptions, analyze experimental results, and draw scientific conclusions. Similarly, in social sciences and humanities, critical thinking is essential for understanding complex social phenomena and historical events. To cultivate critical thinking skills, students can engage in active learning activities such as discussions, debates, and critical reading of texts. By constantly exercising their critical thinking muscles, students can enhance their understanding and appreciation of academic subjects.**Topic 3: The Challenges of Balancing Academic and Social Life**As college students, we often face the challenge of balancing our academic commitments with our social lives. Discuss the difficulties involved in achieving this balance and suggest strategies to help us manage our time and responsibilities effectively.**Sample Answer:**Balancing academic and social life can indeed be a daunting task for college students. The demands of rigorous coursework, exams, and projects often clash with the desire to socialize and build meaningful relationships. However, with effective time management and prioritization, it is possible to achieve a harmonious balance. One strategy is to create a detailed schedule that allocates specific hours for studying and social activities. This helps in planning ahead and ensures that both aspects of life receive equal attention. Additionally, students can leverage technology tools such as calendar apps or reminders to stay organized and on track. Moreover, it is important to prioritize tasks and set realistic goals to avoid feeling overwhelmed. By prioritizing their academic commitments while also makingtime for social interactions, students can thrive both academically and socially.In conclusion, the writing section of the GCET presents a unique opportunity for students to showcase their English proficiency and critical thinking skills. By familiarizing themselves with recent writing topics and practicing effective strategies, candidates can prepare themselves for this challenging yet rewarding section of the exam.。

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 centre.72.Passage 1Question 51 to 55 are based on the following passage:Censorship (审查制度) is for the good of society as a whole. Imagine what chaos there would be if we lived in a society without laws. Like the law, censorship contributes to the common good.Some people think that it is disgraceful that a censor should interfere with works of art. Who is this person, they say, to ban this great book or cut that great film No one can set himself up as a superior being. But we must remember two things. Firstly, where genuine works of art are concerned, modern censors are extremely liberal in their views----often far more liberal than a large section of the public. Artistic merit is something which censors clearly recognize. And secondly, we must bear in mind that the great proportion of books, plays and films which come before the censor are very far from being "works of art".When discussing censorship, therefore, we should not confine our attention to great masterpieces, but should consider the vast numbers of publications and films which make up the bulk (大部分) of the entertainment industry. When censorship laws are relaxed, dishonest people are given a licence to produce virtually anything in the name of "art". There is an increasing tendency to equate "artistic" with "pornographic" (色情的).So one of the great things that censorship does is to prevent certain people from making fat profits by corrupting the minds of others. Society would really be poorer if it deprived itself of the wise counsel and the restraining influence which a censor provides.51.A censor's duty is ____.52.A) to see there is no filthy content in publications or films53.B) to ban books and cut films54.C) to distinguish works of art from others55.D) to make sure that no licence is given to dishonest people56. people are against censorship for the reason that ____.57.A) censorship is not consistent with the ideals of democracy58.B) censors prevent people from making profits59.C) censors are conservative and cannot appreciate artistic merit60.D) censorship limits the way people feel and think61. the writer says "to equate 'artistic' which 'pornographic', he means ____.62.A) there is no clear distinction between what is artistic and what is pornographic63.B) masterpieces are sometimes offensive to decency64.C) many pornographic works will be published in the name of art65.D) artistic works and pornographic works have the same market value66. to the writer, a society free from censorship ____.67.A) would be poor materially68.B) would expose its people to dangers of being corrupted69.C) could not develop its entertainment industry70.D) would allow only a small section of people to make profits71. the following are the writer's views except that ____.72.A) censors are fully qualified for their job73.B) masterpieces even with pornographic content are still masterpieces74.C) society will not do without censorship75.D) many books, plays and films are not works of art76.Passage 277.Question 56 to 60 are based on the following passage:78.A few weeks ago I was talking to a school inspector in one of the more fashionable districts of Paris. She astonished me by saying that if she had young children today, she'd probably send them to a private school. She had devoted 25 years of her life to the ideal of free public education, she said, but the truth was the state system was in a mess.79.There are two main problems: State schools in France have to accept whatever teachers are assigned to them by the Ministry of Education. As my school inspector friend put it, "one year a school may be excellent; three or four years later, half the teachers may be incapable!" That is not very reassuring if you're a parent. Private schools can choose their own teachers.80.The other problem is discipline or, rather, the lack of it. Not long ago a school in Birmingham made headlines in Britain because the teachers were being terrorized by their pupils. In the desolate suburbs of low-cost apartment blocks, thrown together in the 1960s on the outskirts of most big French cities, such stories are commonplace. Vandalism(破坏他人财产的行为), drug-taking and extortion aren't limited to schools in poor areas either. A recent poll found that 88 per cent of French children rate as the biggest problem of their school lives the prevalence (流行, 猖獗)of factions and gangs which spend all their time fighting one another. Small wonder, then, that the private schools, with their emphasis on traditional values, are undergoing a new surge of popularity (despite disapproval from France's new socialist leaders), and competition to get into the best of them has now become intense.81. French school inspector has long been a supporter of ____.82.A) compulsory education B) free private education83.C) private schools D) the state school system84. French state education system ____.85.A) does not guarantee the competence of teachers B) seems to have no serious difficulties86.C)is running smoothly D) promises to maintain high standards87. schools in France today ____.88.A) are generally undergoing changes for the worse89.B) enjoy the prestige(声望) of becoming the place to send one's children to90.C) have become victims of vandalism91.D) never hire teachers who stress traditional values92. of discipline among students is rampant in state schools ____.93.A) in the Paris slums, but not in other areas94.B) noticeably and solely in the poorer areas in French cities95.C) almost everywhere in France96.D) rather restricted to Birmingham97. children who wish to go to the best private schools can do so by ____.98.A) taking highly competitive examinations B) simply sending in applications99.C) joining factions and gangs D) drawing lots100.PartⅢCloze ( 10 points, 15 minutes )101.Directions: There are 20 blanks in the following passage. For each blank there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should choose the One that th e best fits into the passage. Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the cettre.102.Today vegetables, fish, fruit, meat and beer are canned in enormous quantities. Within three generations the 81 habits of millions have been revolutionized. Foods that were previously 82 may now be eaten at any time, and strange foods are 83 far from the countries where they are 84 . The crops many farmers now produce often depend on the nearness of a canning factory.103.The first stage in the canning 85 is the preparation of the raw food. Diseased and waste portions are thrown 86 ; meat and fish are cleaned and trimmed; fruit and vegetables washed and graded for 87 . The jobs are principally 88 by machine. 104.The next stage, for vegetables only, is soak in very 89 or boiling water for a short time to remove air and 90 the vegetable. This makes 91 easier to pack into cans for sterilization (free from living germs).Some packing machines fill 92 to 400 cans a minute. Fruit, fish and meat are packed raw and cold into cans, and then all the air is removed. 93 the cans are sealed, the pressure inside each can is only about half the pressure of the outside air.105.The sterilization process which follows the cans are subjected 94 steam or boiling water, with the temperature and time 95 according to the type of food. Cans of fruit, for example, 96 only 5-10 minutes in boiling water, 97 meat and fish are cooked at higher temperatures for 98 period. After sterilization, the cans are cooled quickly to 32 degree to prevent the contents 99 becoming too soft.106.The final stage before sending off to the grocer is labeling, and packing the tins into boxes. Nowadays, however, labeling is often printed on in 100 by the can-maker and no paper labels are then required.107. eat B) eatable C) eaten D) eating108. monthly B) year-round C) seasonal D) quarterly109. accessible B) obtained C) available D) usable110. planting B) grown C) growing D) producing111. process B) reaction C) procession D) program112. about B) away C) down D) up113. size B) length C) height D) breadth114. had B) fulfilled C) pocked D) done115. chilly B) cold C) hot D) freezing116. soften B) cook C) steam D) harden117. them B) it C) us D) that118. up B) down C) in D) on119.

They are all taken from the reading passage you have just read.129.① (line 1-3, para. 3, passage 1 ) When discussing censorship, therefore, we should not confine our attention to great masterpieces, but should consider the vast numbers of publications and films which make up the bulk (大部分) of the entertainment industry.130.② (line 2-3, para. 2, passage 2 ) As my school inspector friend put it, "one year a school may be excellent; three or four years later, half the teachers may be incapable!"131.③ (line 5-7, para. 2, passage 3 ) He must serve as a man responsible for the fortune he has earned and use that fortune to provide greater opportunity for all and to increase man’s knowledge of himself and of his universe.132.④ (line 2-4, para. 2, Passage 4 ) It is just one of several techniques being tried at . medical schools and hospitals in an attempt to deal with the most universal complaint about doctors: lack of sympathy.133.⑤ (line 6-9, para. 1, Passage 5 ) Differentials(差异)in infant mortality were very large---75 per cent higher in poverty than in nonpoverty areas. In both cases, the differences between white and nonwhite were even more substantial than between poverty and nonpoverty areas.134.⑥ (line 3-4, para. 4, passage 6) Monitoring by computer has proven to be very accurate and increases early discovery of life threatening events.Part V &n, bsp; Writing (20 points, 35 minutes)Directions: For this part, you are allowed 35 minutes to write a composition on the topic Diligence is the Father of Success.

Each of the passages is followed by 5 questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET. Passage OneWe are all busy talking about and using the Internet, but how many of us know the history of the Internet?Many people are surprised when they find that the Internet was set up as recently as the 1960s. At that time, computers were large and expensive. Computer networks didn’t work well. If one computer in the network broke down, then the whole network stopped. So a new network system had to be set up. It should be good enough to be used by many different computers. If part of the network was not working, information could be sen through another part. In this way the computer network system would keep on working all the time.At first the Internet was only used by the government, but in the 1970s, universities, hospitals and banks began to use it, too. However, computers were still very expensive and the Internet was difficult to use. At the beginning of the 1990s, computers became cheaper and easier to use. And scientists developed software that made Internet “surfing” more convenient.Today it is easy to get online and it is said that millions of people use the Internet every day.16.

The history of the InternetD. Convenient Internet SurfingPassage TwoAlan Chang was a handsome young man with good manners.One morning he was walking along a street on his way to an appointment. He did not want to be early or late. He had forgotten to put on his watch so he went up to a man who was waiting for a taxi.“Excuse me, sir,” he said, very politely, “but could you tell me the time?”The man, who was very well-dressed and looked quite rich, said nothing. He did not even look at Alan. Alan spoke to him again. “Excuse me, sir,” he said, “but could you please tell me what time it is?”This time the man looked at him, but he did not speak and looked quickly away. Alan thought to himself: well, he can hear me; he must be just rude. So Alan asked again, “Why wouldn’t you tell me the time, sir?”The man turned towards him and said, “Put yourself in my shoes. I am standing here waiting for a taxi. You come up to me and ask me for the time. If I tell it to you, you will thank me. I will say ‘That’s all right.’ You may then say ‘It’s a beautiful day,’ to which I may reply ‘Yes, I like these sunny winter days.’ Before we know what is happening we have a friendly conversation. You are a pleasant, polite yo7ung man, so when my taxi comes, I offer you a ride. You accept. We talk. I like you. You like me. I invite you to my home. You meet my daughter. She is a very pretty girl. You are a good-looking man. You like each other. Soon you fall in love. You want to marry. Now do you understand my problem?”Alan shook his head. “No, sir, I’m sorry, I don’t. Everything you have said seems very natural to me.”“Exactly,” the man said, “and I do not want my daughter to marry a man who is too poor to buy a watch. Good morning to you.” And with these words he hurried away.21. Why did Alan ask the man what time it was?A. He was too late.B. He was very early.C. He had left his watch home.D. He wanted to meet the man’s daughter.22. What did Alan think of the man when he would not tell him the time?A. He was impolite.B. He was deaf.C. He was stupid.D. He spoke no English.23. What did the man mean by the underlined part “Put yourself in my shoes”A. Don’t interrupt me.B. My shoes hurt me.C. Come and try my shoes.D. Try to understand me.24.

The story is mainly about ____________.A. how rude a person can beB. how one thing leads to anotherC. where a person can’t tell the timeD. why you shouldn’t speak to strangers Passage ThreeWhat are the beauties of HawaiiLet’s start with four.The beach, famous for its water temperature, air temperature and waves, is the first beauty. There are hundreds of miles of beaches on the twenty islands of Hawaii. They are thought to be among the finest beaches in the world.Then, what do you think would be the second beautiful thingIt is volcanoes (火山), of course. These volcanoes are not just a part of the islands; they made the islands in the first place. Because of them the islands are still growing. What would be the third thing of beauty that the first visitor to Hawaii would notice It probably wouldn’t be just one thing, but many things: all the wonderful fruits and flowers of the islands. Sugar cane, bananas and pineapples are Hawaii’s biggest exports. Sugar cane has been growing in Hawaii for a thousand years. As forpineapples, the islands produce more than any other places in the world, which has made Dole Company the biggest fruit-packing company in the world.The fourth and most beautiful thing about Hawaii is the people who live there. The Hawaiians never rush, and perhaps this is because they care more for human life than they care for the machine. There is an old Hawaiian law that a man can go to sleep in the middle of the road if he wants to. What makes the people of Hawaii so beautiful is their feeling about people. There are 64 different combinations of races on the islands, and they all live in peace. They believe “Above all nations is humanity.” That is the most beautiful thing of all.26. According to the passage, Hawaii is made up of ___________.A. one islandB. twenty islandsC. sixty-four islandsD. hundreds of islands27. Why are the volcanoes so special to the islandsA. They are not a part of the islands.B. They actually made the islands.C. They are the first in the world.D. They are growing.28. What has made Dole Company the biggest fruit-packing company in the worldA. Sugar.B. Sugar cane.C. Bananas.D. Pineapples.29. The people in Hawaii are the most beautiful thing because ___________.A. they had a peaceful historyB. they can sleep in the middle of the roadC. there are 64 different races on the islandsD. they care more for people than anything else30. According to the passage, “above all nations is humanity” might mean___________.A. not all nations have humanityB. humanity is as important as a nationC. humanity has no national boundariesD. all human beings should live in peace Passage FourThere is a measurable relation between how much a person learns and his attitude toward the subject to be learned. When faced with a difficult learning task, one path to success is to concentrate on the positive aspects of the subject matter. If a student has a boring teacher, one solution is to look for the positive aspects of completing the course, regardless of how boring the teacher happens to be. To accomplish this might require a private tutor or some independent reading, but with the right attitude, success is possible.Over-achievers – students who do better than their test scores show – usually have a positive interest toward learning. They may learn some things more slowly, and they may make more efforts, but, to compensate (补偿), they are often betterat applying what they have learned. As long as they do not have emotional problems, they are successful.Under-achievers – those who function below their ability shown by test scored –often tend to allow a few negative factors to affect them. Because of their negative attitudes, they sometimes become unfairly critical of teachers. They allow themselves to get bored when it is not necessary. In short, their attitudes often cause them to learn less than over-achievers.。

2024广东成人学位英语考试真题及答案

2024广东成人学位英语考试真题及答案全文共6篇示例，供读者参考篇1The 2024 Guangdong Grown-up English TestHi everyone! My name is Xiaoming and I'm 8 years old. I went with my mom last week to take a big English test for grown-ups called the 2024 Guangdong Adult English Proficiency Exam. I'm just a kid, but I thought I could share what the test was like in case any of you little guys are curious!The test had four parts - listening, reading, writing, and speaking. We had to go to a school on a Saturday morning to take it. There were tons of adults there, which was kind of funny to see!For the listening part, we had to put on these big headphones and listen to recordings of people talking in English. The voices said things like "The book is on the table" or "I'm going to the park this afternoon." After each recording, there were multiple choice questions on the computer screen asking what we heard. It was sort of like the listening games we play at school, but a little harder.The reading part had different passages to read, like news articles or stories. We had to read them carefully and then answer comprehension questions about things like the main idea, what certain words meant, or specific details from the passages. Some of the vocabulary was pretty advanced for a kid like me!Next up was the writing section. This is where we had to actually type out answers to questions, instead of just clicking on multiple choice. One question asked us to describe our favorite holiday and what we like to do to celebrate it. Another one gave us a cartoon picture and we had to write a short story based on what we saw happening in the picture. The hard part was making sure our grammar, spelling, and sentence structures were all correct.Finally, there was the speaking part. This was probably the most nerve-wracking for me! We had to go one-by-one into a private room with a recording device. The computer gave us a question, and we had to speak our answer out loud in clear English within a certain time limit. The first question I got asked me to describe my hometown and interesting places to visit there. The second one showed me a picture of a family having a picnic, and I had to speak about what I saw happening in thepicture. I was so nervous to speak English in front of the examiner, but she was really nice!After we finished all four sections, we got to leave. My mom said we'll get our scores bachk in a few weeks to see if we passed or not. There was a lot of reading, writing, listening, and speaking involved...I'm just glad it's over!So that's what the big Guangdong English test was like from the eyes of an 8-year-old. It seemed pretty challenging, even for me after studying English for a few years now. I can't imagine how hard it must have been for all those adults! I'll leave the serious English tests to the grown-ups from now on. For now, it's back to study my ABCs and simple vocab words. Good luck to anyone taking the Guangdong exam next year!篇2My Big Adventure Taking the Adult English Exam!Hi friends! My name is Lily and I'm 9 years old. I just had the craziest experience that I can't wait to tell you all about. You'll never believe this, but I actually took the big adult English exam for Guangdong Province! Yes, the one that all the grown-ups have to pass to get their degrees. How did a kid like me end up taking such a huge test? Well, let me explain...It all started last week when my mom was studying for the exam. She's going back to university to get her master's degree, so she has to take this big English test first. She was reading her practice books out loud to get ready. I was playing nearby and couldn't help overhearing some of the questions. You know what? They didn't seem that hard to me at all! The reading passages were pretty interesting and the grammar questions were just like what I learn in school.So I went up to my mom and said "那个考试真的很难吗?我觉得我可以答对那些题目!" Which means "Is that test really so difficult? I think I can answer those questions!" Well, my mom just laughed and ruffled my hair. But I was serious! I really wanted to try taking the exam. I kept bugging her about it all week until finally she gave in.On exam day, my mom took me down to the testing center with her. The kind ladies at the front let me take a real exam booklet and bubble sheet, just like I was an adult candidate too! We had to be very quiet, of course. As soon as the exam started, I put my pencil to my bubble sheet and went to work.Let me share some of the questions with you - you'll see they weren't too bad! The first passage was about the history of the English language. It said English is a Germanic language thatoriginated from Anglo-Saxon settlers in Britain in the 5th century AD. But then it got heavily influenced by Norman French after the invasion in 1066. That's why English has so many words with French roots like "pork" and "curry." After reading that passage, I had to answer some comprehension questions like:"Which of the following regions did English originate from?A) The British Isles B) France C) Germany D) Scandinavia"Easy peasy - I bubbled in A) The British Isles!Then there was a grammar section testing things like subject-verb agreement, parallel structure, and modifying phrases. One question was:"Neither the actor _____ the director _____ available for interviews after the premiere.A) was ... were B) were ... was C) were ... were D) was ... was"I picked C because with "neither/nor" sentences, the verb has to agree with the closest subject. So if there are two singular subjects with "neither/nor", the verb must be plural! Nailed it.There were some fun reading passages too, like one about animated movies and another about wilderness exploration. The writers passage had us correcting some errors in a draft essay. We had to re-write some wordy sentences more concisely. For example:"Apples, which are a healthy fruit containing many vitamins and minerals, are a good source of fiber as well."Could be better written:"Apples, a healthy fruit rich in vitamins and minerals, are also a good fiber source."See, nothing too crazy! I was flying through this adult exam.Finally, there was a speaking section where we had to record ourselves responding to questions and giving opinions. One of the questions was:"Some people think social media contributes to depression and loneliness, especially in young people. Others feel social media enriches social connections. What is your perspective on the effects of social media? Provide relevant reasons and examples to support your view."Well of course I had to pick the pro-social media side! I talked about how sites like WhatsApp and WeChat allow me toeasily video chat with my cousins in America. And how fun photo apps like Snapchat let me get creative and goof around with silly filters. As long as you don't spend too much time on social media and you're aware of things like cyber-bullying, I think it's a great way to stay connected with friends.After what felt like no time at all, my exam was over! I was so proud of myself for doing such a grown-up thing. My mom said she was really impressed with my concentration and effort. While we waited for the scores, she bought me a celebratory ice cream cone. Yum!A few weeks later, our test results arrived in the mail. My mom passed with a high score - no surprise there, she studied so hard. But want to know the crazy part? I PASSED TOO! Yes, little old me got a more than high enough score to meet the English requirements for an adult university degree program. My parents were absolutely stunned. I'm officially certified as an adult-level English genius!篇32024 Guangdong Adult Degree English Exam - The Real Deal!Hi everyone! My name is Lily and I'm a 4th grader. My mom just took the big Guangdong Adult Degree English Exam last month and she told me all about it. It was a really important test for her to get her adult university degree. I thought I'd share what I know about the actual questions that were on the 2024 exam so you can get ready if you need to take it next year!The listening section was first. Mom said there were conversations between people talking about everyday things like going shopping, making plans, asking for directions and stuff like that. You had to listen really carefully and answer multiple choice questions about the main ideas and details they mentioned. There were also some longer listening passages about topics like environmental protection, space exploration, and famous inventors. For those, you had to listen and then answer questions testing if you understood the key points and supporting details.Next up was the reading section. That part had a bunch of different readings like articles from newspapers and magazines, advertisements, instructions, and excerpts from books. The readings were about all different subjects - history, science, business, culture, and more. Some of the passages were just one paragraph, but others were pretty long - a few pages even! Thequestions asked you to identify the main idea, draw conclusions, define vocabulary words based on context, and make inferences. Mom said you really had to read everything super carefully and double check the reference details.After the reading part, there were two writing tasks. For the first one, you had to read a short opinion article and write a response of around 200 words. You could agree or disagree with the opinion and give your own reasons and examples to support your view. The second writing was longer - a 400 word essay on a particular topic. Mom's prompt was "What qualities are most important for success in the modern world?" You had to give a clear introduction with your main idea, then write body paragraphs with details and examples explaining your points, and finish with a good conclusion tying everything together.Mom thought the hardest sections were probably the listening and writing parts because you really had to concentrate and organize your thoughts under time pressure. But she felt pretty prepared from doing lots of practice tests and essay writing ahead of time.Oh, and I can't forget about the grammar, vocabulary and language usage sections! There were fill-in-the-blank questions testing your knowledge of proper English grammar rules andvocabulary. You had to pick the right words to complete sentences and short paragraphs. There were also some discrete grammar questions where you had to identify errors in particular sentences.Whew, I know that was a lot of information! The exam definitely seemed really challenging overall. But Mom said as long as you reviewed the test formats, worked on your English skills across all areas, and stayed calm on exam day, it was manageable. She felt super accomplished when she finished it all.Well, I hope sharing the inside scoop on what was actually on the 2024 Guangdong exam helps give you an idea of what to expect. Just remember to study hard, do lots of practice, and believe in yourself! You've got this! Thanks for reading my article and let me know if you have any other questions!篇4The 2024 Guangdong Grown-Up English TestHi everyone! My name is Xiaoming and I'm 9 years old. My mom and dad had to take a really big English test called the "2024 Guangdong Adult English Proficiency Exam" and I helped them study for it. It was a super important test for grown-upswho need to prove they can speak and understand English well. I'm going to tell you all about the questions on the test and the right answers!Listening SectionThe first part was listening to recordings and answering questions about what you heard. There were conversations between people as well as lectures and talks. You had to listen really carefully!One conversation was between two friends making plans to go see a movie. The guy asked the girl what movie she wanted to see and she said she wanted to see the new superhero movie that just came out. But the guy said he would rather see a comedy instead. They ended up deciding to see the comedy.The question was: "What kind of movie did the friends finally agree to see?" And the right answer was: C) A comedyThere was also a lecture from a scientist talking about how clouds are formed. He explained that clouds are made up of billions of tiny drops of water vapor that have condensed from gas into liquid. He said that clouds form when the air becomes saturated and can't hold any more water vapor. Pretty interesting stuff!The question was: "According to the lecturer, what are clouds composed of?" And the correct answer was: B) Condensed water dropletsWriting SectionThe next part was writing tasks. One question asked you to read a short announcement about a town closing its public swimming pool for renovations. You had to write a letter to the parks department expressing your feelings and opinions about the pool closing.A good response mentioned being disappointed the pool was closing for a while, but understanding that the renovations were necessary to repair anything that was broken or outdated. It also could suggest ideas for temporary swimming locations while the pool was closed.Another writing task gave you an opinion question and you had to write a persuasive essay with reasons and examples supporting your view. The question was: "Some people believe that high school students should be required to complete volunteer work/community service as part of their graduation requirements. Do you agree or disagree with this stance?"A good essay took a clear position either agreeing or disagreeing with the requirement. If you agreed, you could talk about how volunteer work teaches good values, helps the community, and looks good for college applications. If you disagreed, you could discuss the burden of added requirements, questions over what counts as legitimate volunteering, and issues with forced unpaid labor.Speaking SectionThis section tested your ability to speak and have a conversation in English. Some questions asked you to look at a picture and describe what you saw happening. Others had you take a stance and explain your opinions on different topics.One question showed a picture of a busy city street crowded with cars, bikes, and pedestrians. To get a high score, you had to speak clearly in complete sentences, describing the modes of transportation, the scenery, the number of people, and what the overall vibe and activity level seemed to be.Another question was: "Some people believe that the best way to protect the environment is to raise prices and enact higher taxes on things that cause pollution and environmental damage. Others think there are more effective methods. What is your opinion on this issue?"You had to take one side and then explain your reasoning, using specific details and examples to back up your position. Either way, good responses laid out the arguments for their view in a logical, organized way while directly addressing counterpoints as well.Reading SectionThe reading section had lots of different passages to read - news articles, stories, descriptions of events, etc. Then you had to answer comprehension questions testing if you understood the main ideas, details, and vocabulary words from the readings.One passage was about the history and cultural traditions surrounding the Japanese art of origami (paper folding). After reading it, a question asked: "According to the passage, what is the most widely accepted origin story for the art of origami?"The four answer choices were:A) Origami began as a religious ritual in Japanese BuddhismB) Origami was invented in Japan to aid in the teaching of mathematicsC) The earliest known origami dates back to ceremonial practices in ShintoD) No one knows for sure how or why origami beganIf you read carefully, you would see that the correct answer is C) The earliest known origami dates back to ceremonial practices in Shinto.Whew, that was a tough test! My mom and dad were pretty nervous, but I helped them practice and prepare a lot. I'm not sure if they passed yet, but I think all the hard work we put in gave them a really good shot. Keeping my fingers crossed for them!Let me know if you have any other questions about the Guangdong grown-up English test. I tried to give you a good overview of what it was like, but I'm just a kid so I may have gotten some small details mixed up. Overall though, I hope this article gives you a general idea of the types of questions and tasks adults had to complete. Study hard and good luck on any upcoming English exams!篇5Hi everyone! My name is Lily and I'm a 3rd grader at Sunny Vista Elementary School. Today I want to tell you all about the 2024 Guangdong Adult Degree English Exam that my mom took last month. She studied sooooo hard for it!The exam is a really important test that adults take if they want to get a university degree but didn't go to college when they were younger. My mom left school after high school to start working, but she has always wanted to get her bachelor's degree. By passing this exam, she can finally get that degree she has dreamed about!The English part of the exam tests how well the adults can read, write, listen to, and speak English. My mom said it was super difficult, way harder than my English tests at school! There were different sections testing all the skills. Let me tell you about each part:ReadingIn the reading section, there were some really long passages that my mom had to read and then answer questions about the main ideas, details, vocabulary words, and inferences. She said some of the passages were about science topics she didn't know much about, so she had to use her reading strategies to try to figure out what they were saying. There were also shorter passages like advertisements or notices that had questions too.WritingFor the writing part, my mom had to write two essays - one giving her opinion and reasons, and another describing some pictures and telling a story about them. She said the hardest part was making sure her grammar was correct and that she included good transitions between her ideas. Writing a whole essay in English is really tough!ListeningOh boy, the listening section was a doozy! My mom had to listen to conversations between people, lectures, radio shows, and other audio recordings. Then she had to answer multiple choice questions testing if she understood the details, main ideas, speaker's purposes, and implied meanings. The recordings weren't slowed down at all, so she really had to concentrate to understand everything.SpeakingFinally, there was a speaking section where my mom had to record herself giving spoken responses. For some questions, she had to look at a picture and describe what she saw. For others, she had to pretend to have a conversation and give responses. She even had to read a passage out loud and speak clearly. My mom practiced speaking English with me a lot to get ready for this part!After the exam, my mom felt sooo relieved that it was over. She said it was one of the most challenging things she has ever done. A couple of weeks later, she got her score results back...and she passed We were all so proud of her for accomplishing this huge goal.So those were the different parts that made up this important English exam. It covered all the skills that adults need to communicate effectively in English for jobs, school, travel and more. My mom is already making plans to finally start her university degree program next semester. All her hard work paid off!I hope sharing details about my mom's experience with the Guangdong Adult Degree English Exam was interesting and helpful. Even though I'm just a kid, I have a new appreciation for how difficult it is to master another language after hearing about this crazy difficult test! Let me know if you have any other questions.篇6The 2024 Guangdong Adult Degree English Exam: A Kid's PerspectiveHey there, fellow kids! I know what you're thinking, "Why is a kid talking about an adult degree exam?" Well, let me tell you, this exam is way more exciting than it sounds! It's like a big puzzle that all the grown-ups have to solve, and I got a sneak peek at the questions and answers. Get ready for some serious fun!Question 1: What's the difference between a verb and a noun?Oh, man, this one's a classic! A verb is an action word, like "jump" or "dance." A noun is a person, place, or thing, like "kid" or "playground." Easy-peasy, right? But don't worry, adults, it gets trickier from here!Question 2: Translate the following sentence into English: "我昨天去了公园玩。

You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.P assage1Question 51to55are based on the following passage:Censorship (审查制度) is for the good of society as a whole. Imagine what chaos there would be if we lived in a society without laws. Like the law, censorship contributes to the common good.Some people think that it is disgraceful that a censor should interfere with works of art. Who is this person, they say, to ban this great book or cut that great film? No one can set himself up as a superior being. But we must remember two things. Firstly, where genuine works of art are concerned, modern censors are extremely liberal in their views----often far more liberal than a large section of the public. Artistic merit is something which censors clearlyrecognize. And secondly, we must bear in mind that the great proportion of books, plays and films which come before the censor are very far from being "works of art".When discussing censorship, therefore, we should not confine our attention to great masterpieces, but should consider the vast numbers of publications and films which make up the bulk (大部分) of the entertainment industry. When censorship laws are relaxed, dishonest people are given a licence to produce virtually anything in the name of "art". There is an increasing tendency to equate "artistic" with "pornographic" (色情的).So one of the great things that censorship does is to prevent certain people from making fat profits by corrupting the minds of others. Society would really be poorer if it deprived itself of the wise counsel and the restraining influence which a censor provides.51.A censor's duty is____.A)to see there is no filthy content in publications or filmsB)to ban books and cut filmsC)to distinguish works of art from othersD)to make sure that no licence is given to dishonest people52.Some people are against censorship for the reason that ____.A)censorship is not consistent with the ideals of democracyB)censors prevent people from making profitsC)censors are conservative and cannot appreciate artistic meritD)censorship limits the way people feel and think53.When the writer says "to equate 'artistic' which 'pornographic', he means ____.A)there is no clear distinction between what is artistic and what is pornographicB)masterpieces are sometimes offensive to decencyC)many pornographic works will be published in the name of artD)artistic works and pornographic works have the same market value54.According to the writer,a society free from censorship ____.A)would be poor materiallyB)would expose its people to dangers of being corruptedC)could not develop its entertainment industryD)would allow only a small section of people to make profits55.All the following are the writer's views except that ____.A)censors are fully qualified for their jobB)masterpieces even with pornographic content are still masterpiecesC) society will not do without censorshipD) many books, plays and films are not works of artP assage2Question 56to60are based on the following passage:A few weeks ago I was talking to a school inspector in one of themore fashionable districts of Paris. She astonished me by saying that if she had young children today, she'd probably send them to a private school. She had devoted 25 years of her life to the ideal of free public education, she said, but the truth was the state system was in a mess.There are two main problems:State schools in France have to accept whatever teachers are assigned to them by the Ministry of Education. As my school inspector friend put it, "one year a school may be excellent; three or four years later, half the teachers may be incapable!" That is not very reassuring if you're a parent. Private schools can choose their own teachers.The other problem is discipline or, rather, the lack of it. Not long ago a school in Birmingham made headlines in Britain because the teachers were being terrorized by their pupils. In the desolate suburbs of low-cost apartment blocks, thrown together in the 1960s on the outskirts of most big French cities, such stories are commonplace. Vandalism(破坏他人财产的行为), drug-taking and extortion aren't limited to schools in poor areas either. A recent poll found that 88 per cent of French children rate as the biggest problem of their school lives the prevalence(流行, 猖獗)of factions and gangs which spend all their time fighting one another. Small wonder, then, that the private schools, with their emphasis on traditional values, are undergoing a new surge of popularity (despite disapproval from France's new socialist leaders), and competition to get into the best of them has now become intense.56.The French school inspector has long been a supporter of ____.A) compulsory education B) free private educationC) private schools D) the state school system57.The French state education system ____.A) does not guarantee the competence of teachers B) seems to have no serious difficultiesC)is running smoothly D) promises to maintain high standards58.Private schools in France today ____.A)are generally undergoing changes for the worseB)enjoy the prestige(声望) of becoming the place to send one's children toC)have become victims of vandalismD)never hire teachers who stress traditional valuesck of discipline among students is rampant in state schools ____.A) in the Paris slums, but not in other areasB)noticeably and solely in the poorer areas in French citiesC)almost everywhere in FranceD)rather restricted to Birmingham60.France children who wish to go to the best private schools can do so by ____.A) taking highly competitive examinations B) simply sending in applicationsC) joining factions and gangs D) drawing lotsPart ⅢCloze ( 10 points, 15minutes )Directions: There are 20 blanks in the following passage. For each blank there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You shouldchoose the One that th e best fits into the passage. Then mark thecorresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the cettre.Today vegetables, fish, fruit, meat and beer are canned in enormous quantities. Within three generations the 81 habits of millions have been revolutionized. Foods that were previously 82 may now be eaten at any time, and strange foods are 83 far from the countries where they are 84 . The crops many farmers now produce often depend on the nearness of a canning factory.The first stage in the canning 85 is the preparation of the raw food. Diseased and waste portions are thrown 86 ; meat and fish are cleaned and trimmed; fruit and vegetables washed and graded for 87 . The jobs are principally88by machine.The next stage, for vegetables only, is soak in very 89 or boiling water for a short time to remove air and 90 the vegetable. This makes 91 easier to pack into cans for sterilization (free from living germs).Some packing machines fill 92 to 400 cans a minute. Fruit, fish and meat are packed raw and cold into cans, and then all the air is removed. 93 the cans are sealed, the pressure inside each can is only about half the pressure of the outside air.The sterilization process which follows the cans are subjected 94 steam or boiling water, with the temperature and time 95 according to the type of food. Cans of fruit, for example, 96 only 5-10 minutes in boiling water, 97 meat and fish are cooked at higher temperatures for 98 period. After sterilization,the cans are cooled quickly to 32 degree to prevent the contents 99 becoming too soft.The final stage before sending off to the grocer is labeling, and packing the tins into boxes. Nowadays, however, labeling is often printed on in 100 by the can-maker and no paper labels are then required.81.A) eat B) eatable C) eaten D) eating82.A) monthly B) year-round C) seasonal D) quarterly83.A) accessible B) obtained C) available D) usable84.A) planting B) grown C) growing D) producing85.A) process B) reaction C) procession D) program86.A) about B) away C) down D) up87.A) size B) length C) height D) breadth88.A) had B) fulfilled C) pocked D) done89.A) chilly B) cold C) hot D) freezing90.A) soften B) cook C) steam D) harden91.A) them B) it C) us D) that92.A) up B) down C) in D) on93.A) When B) If C) Although D) Before94.A) on B) to C) in D) at95.A) varies B) vary C) varied D) varying96.A) cost B) spend C) take D) consume97.A) as B) because C) while D)for 98.A) less B) longer C)shorter D) more 99.A) off B) through C) by D) from100.

At that time, computers were large and expensive. Computer networks didn’t work well. If one computer in the network broke down, then the whole network stopped. So a new network system had to be set up. It should be good enough to be used by many different computers. If part of the network was not working, information could be sen through another part. In this way the computer network system would keep on working all the time.At first the Internet was only used by the government, but in the 1970s, universities,hospitals and banks began to use it, too. However, computers were still very expensive and the Internet was difficult to use. At the beginning of the 1990s, computers became cheaper and easier to use. And scientists developed software that made Internet“surfing”more convenient.Today it is easy to get online and it is said that millions of people use the Internet every day.16.

He did not want to be early or late. He had forgotten to put on his watch so he went up to a man who was waiting for a taxi. “Excuse me, sir,” he said, very politely, “but could you tell me the time?”The man, who was very well-dressed and looked quite rich, said nothing. He did not even look at Alan. Alan spoke to him again. “Excuse me, sir,” he said, “but could you please tell me what time it is?”This time the man looked at him, but he did not speak and looked quickly away. Alan thought to himself: well, he can hear me; he must be just rude. So Alan asked again, “Why wouldn’t you tell me the time, sir?”The man turned towards him and said, “Put yourself in my shoes. I am standing here waiting for a taxi. You come up to me and ask me for the time. If I tell it to you, you will thank me. I will say ‘That’s all right.’ You may then say ‘It’s a beautiful day,’ to which I may reply ‘Yes, I like these sunny winter days.’ Before we know what is happening we have a friendly conversation. You are a pleasant, polite yo7ung man, so when my taxi comes, I offer you a ride. You accept. We talk. I like you. You like me. I invite you to my home. You meet my daughter. She is a very pretty girl. You are a good-looking man. You like each other. Soon you fall in love. You want to marry.Now do you understand my problem?”Alan shook his head. “No, sir, I’m sorry, I don’t. Everything you have said seems very natural to me.”“Exactly,” the man said, “and I do not want my daughter to marry a man who is too poor to buy a watch. Good morning to you.” And with these words he hurried away.21. Why did Alan ask the man what time it was?A. He was too late.B. He was very early.C. He had left his watch home.D.

The story is mainly about ____________.A. how rude a person can beB. how one thing leads to anotherC. where a person can’t tell the timeD. why you shouldn’t speak to strangersPassage ThreeWhat are the beauties of Hawaii? Let’s start with four.The beach, famous for its water temperature, air temperature and waves, is the first beauty. There are hundreds of miles of beaches on the twenty islands of Hawaii. They are thought to be among the finest beaches in the world.Then, what do you think would be the second beautiful thing? It is volcanoes (火山), of course. These volcanoes are not just a part of the islands; they made the islands in the first place. Because of them the islands are still growing.What would be the third thing of beauty that the first visitor to Hawaii would notice? It probably wouldn’t be just one thing, but many things: all the wonderful fruits and flowers of the islands. Sugar cane, bananas and pineapples are Hawaii’s biggest exports. Sugar cane has been growing in Hawaii for a thousand years. As for pineapples, the islands produce more than any other places in the world, which has made Dole Company the biggest fruit-packing company in the world.The fourth and most beautiful thing about Hawaii is the people who live there. The Hawaiians never rush, and perhaps this is because they care more for human life than they care for the machine. There is an old Hawaiian law that a man can go to sleep in the middle of the road if he wants to. What makes the people of Hawaii so beautiful is their feeling about people. There are 64 different combinations of races on the islands, and they all live in peace. They believe “Above all nations is humanity.”That is the most beautiful thing of all.26. According to the passage, Hawaii is made up of ___________.A. one islandB. twenty islandsC. sixty-four islandsD. hundreds of islands27. Why are the volcanoes so special to the islands?A. They are not a part of the islands.B. They actually made the islands.C. They are the first in the world.D. They are growing.28. What has made Dole Company the biggest fruit-packing company in the world?A. Sugar.B. Sugar cane.C. Bananas.D. Pineapples.。

TwoThe faces of elderly, happily-married people sometimes resemble each other.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 similar 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 explanation: “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 intelligence.”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 instructed it 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?puters are stupid and inefficient.puter errors are due to its dishonesty.puters help stores update the price list.puter 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 feel 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 V ocabulary and Structure (20 points)Directions: There

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 1Nearly a quarter-century after a German boy tossed a message in a bottle off a ship in the Baltic Sea, he’s received an answer.A 13-year-old Russian, Daniil Korotkikh, was walking with his parents on a beach when he saw something glittering lying in thesand. “I saw that bottle and it looked interesting,” Korotkikh told The Associated Pr ess on Tuesday. “It looked like a German beer bottle with a ceramic plug, and there was a message inside.” His father, who knows a little German, translated the letter. It said: “My name is Frank, and I’m five years old. My dad and I are traveling on a ship to Denmark. If you find this letter, please write back to me, and I will write back to you.” The letter, dated 1987, included an address in the town of Coesfeld. The boy in the letter, Frank Uesbeck, is now 29. His parents still live at the letter’s add ress. “At first I didn’t believe it,” Uesbeck told the AP about getting the response from Korotkikh. In fact, he barely remembered the trip at all; his father actually wrote the letter. The Russian boy said he does not believe that the bottle actually spent 24 years in the sea: “It would not have survived in the water all that time,” he said. He believed it had been hidden under the sand where he found it. In the web chat earlier this month, Uesbeck gave Korotkikh his new address to write to and promised to write back when he received his letter. “He’ll definitely get another letter from me,” the 29-year-old said. Uesbeck was especially thrilled that he was able to have a positive impact on a life of a young person far away from Germany.16. The message in the bottle was found ________years later. A.25 B. 24 C. 29 D. 2017. The letter in the bottle was written in ________. A. RussianB. EnglishC. FrenchD. German18. The letter in the bottle was actually written by ________. A. Frank B. Korotkikh C. Frank’s father D. Korotkikh’s father19. Which of the following statements is NOT trueA. Daniil Korotkikh believed the bottle must have stayed in the sea all the time before he got it.B. Frank, the German man gave the Russian boy his new address.C. Frank and Korotkikh have met each other through the web chat.D. It is likely that Frank and Korotkikh will arrange a meeting in person.20. That the letter is found and answered so many years later is a(n) _______ to all the people.A. surpriseB. tragedyC. gloryD. honorPassage 2Today, many people are starving to death. There is a shortage of food and the available is too expensive for hungry people to buy. Therefore, they go without food, or each day have one or two small meals lacking the necessary vitamins to maintain good health. Recently, a man who wanted to understand the conditions of such people conducted an experiment. He only ate one meal a day for amonth but continued to work as he normally did. During the first five days he was hungry at his regular meal times, but after he had drunk a glass of water his hunger went away. In the evening, when he ate his one meal, he ate quickly and consumed a large amount. During the next few days, although he was not hungry during the day, he quickly noticed every food stall, and the smell of food caught his attention. During the third and fourth weeks, he had hunger pains and lacked physical strength. He looked forward to his one meal and ate it very slowly, enjoying every bite. Without it, he knew he would have hardly enough energy to work. This experience changed his attitude about some things. Having a cup of tea was not just a pastime, it also gave him strength. He more frequently noticed overweight people and people who threw away leftover food. He realized the importance of food for the very hungry person. He could no longer easily pass by a hungry beggar on the street. But most important, he could now sympathize in a small way with the starving people of the world.21. According to the first paragraph, today the problem with many people is that _________.A. they don’t eat foodB. they are too poor to buy foodC. the food they eat lacks vitaminsD. not enough food is provided to them22. The man ate only one meal a day because _________.A. there was a serious shortage of foodB. it was an effective way of losing weightC. he wanted to know how hungry people could beD. he could not afford to have three meals a day23. At first, when he was hungry he found that a glass of water _________.A. got rid of his thirstB. could remove his hungerC. hardly produced any effectD. only made him feel hungrier24. The experiment made the man realize that ________.A. most people are just eating for funB. overweight people are wasting foodC. food has a different meaning for peopleD. leftover food shouldn’t be thrown away25. After the experiment was over, the man might have felt that ______.A. hunger is less painful once you get used to itB. a man can survive for years on only one meal a dayC. you enjoy your food more if you go hungry for a whileD. something should be done for the hungry people of the worldPassage 3A college education is not just preparation for a career,however. In addition to taking courses in their major field of study, students enroll in elective courses. They may take classes that help them understand more about people, nature, government, or the arts. Well-rounded people are likely to be better citizens, better parents and more interesting and interested individuals. Although two-thirds of American high school graduates go on to study in college, recent high school graduates no longer dominate the college campuses. Adults of all ages return to the classroom, either for new vocational skills or for personal growth. In 1966, for example, almost 20% of American college students were over age 35. Some 500,000 college students are over 50. American faith in the value of education is exemplified by the rising number of Americans who have at least a bachelor’s degree. Almost one-quarter of Americans over age 25 are college graduates. College attendance is not reserved for the wealthy and the academically talented. It is available to anyone who wants to go. Right now about 15 million students are taking advantage of the opportunity. For those not academically prepared to handle college-level work, about 80% of undergraduate schools offer remedial (sometimes called developmental) classes in reading, writing and math. The U.S. has about 3,700 institutions of higher learning. About 1,600 of these are 2-year schools. More than 2,000 are 4-year schools, many of whichalso have graduate programs. With so many colleges to choose from, how do prospective students find the right one for their needs Information about schools is easy to obtain. Students can write for printed information and applications. Some schools even mail out video. Students can also use computer programs that allow them to specify particular interests and print out a list of schools that fit their description.26. The word “well-rounded” in Paragraph I means _________.A. well developed in a range of aspectsB. rounded in shape or well developedC. well planned and balancedD. full, varied, and satisfying27. According to the text, recent high school graduates ________ in American colleges.A. are a majorityB. are a minorityC. form two-thirds of the studentsD. are no more than adult students28. American colleges are for _________.A. the intelligentB. anyone who has a needC. the academically preparedD. the rich who can afford their education29. How many methods can one use to obtain information about schoolsA. ThreeB. FourC. FiveD. Six30. According to the passage, the most basic reason for the highrate of college enrollment is _____A. social pressureB. easy access to collegesC. people’s faith in educationD. the large number of collegesPassage 4A man from New York is suing four big fast-food companies. Caesar Barber is going to court because he says high-fat foods at McDonald’s, Burger King, Wendy’s, and KFC Corporation destroyed his health. Barber says that he ate at these restaurants four or five times a week for many years. He claims that this diet made him very overweight. According to Mr. Barber, obesity (肥胖症) gave him diabetes (糖尿病), high blood pressure, and, two heart attacks. When a reporter asked him why he ate there so often, he said, “I was single, it was quick, and I’m not a very good cook.” Barber’s lawyer, Samuel Hirsch, says that the suit has two different purposes. The first is to make fast-food restaurants offer healthier foods in smaller amounts. The suit also asks that fast foods have warning labels similar to labels on cigarettes. Mr. Hirsch says that these labels are necessary because the effects of fast foods are similar to the effects of cigarettes, alcohol, and illegal drugs such as heroin. Two others may soon join Barber’s suit. One is Frances Winn, a 57-year-old retired nurse. Ms. Winn says that she has eaten at fast-food restaurants at least twice a week since 1975. She saysthat this habit has cause several health problems, including high blood pressure. Isreal Bradley, 59, said eating a pound of French fries every week gave him high blood pressure and diabetes. Officials of the fast-food industry attacked the legal action. National Restaurant Association representative Katharine Kim called it ridiculous. KFC spokeswoman Amy Sherwood claimed KFC offers several kinds of foods for people who want to eat healthier. Legal expert Walter Olson agreed that the suit had little chance of success. He said that people were free to make different choices. Whether or not the suit is successful, there is no doubt that Americans have a weight problem. Medical experts say that obesity will soon be America’s number one killer. They have encouraged fast-food companies to offer healthier foods.31. What does the word “suing” in the first sentence meanA. AttackingB. MentioningC. Complaining aboutD. Taking a legal action against32. Caesar Barber’s problem is that ________.A. he does not have a familyB. he suffers diseases caused by overweightC. he has no time for cookingD. he lives near fast food restaurants33.
