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.There is no doubt that adults, and even highly educated adults, vary greatly in the speed and efficiency of their reading. Some proceed very slowly throughout; others dash along too quickly and then have to regress. Poor readers in particular may lack the ability to vary their manner of reading according to the type of reading matter and to their intentions in reading it. A good reader can move at great speed through the text of a novel or similar light reading matter. He may be able to skim a page, picking up a word or two here and there, and gain a general idea of what the text is about without really reading it. In reading more difficult material, with the intention of taking in the whole of it, he will proceed more slowly, but even then he will vary his pace, concentrating on the key words and passages, perhaps re-reading them several times and pass more quickly over the remainder. A less efficient reader tends to maintain the same speed whatever the material he reads. Consequently, even light reading matter gives him little pleasure because he reads so slowly. But this pace may be too fast for really difficult material which requires special concentration at difficult points.A type of reading which necessitates careful attention to detail is proofreading, in which the reader, in order to detect misprints in a sample print, has to notice not so much the meaning of what he reads as the exact shape and order of letters and words in the text. This is extremely difficult for most people, since they are accustomed to overlooking such details. In fact, considerable practice is required to practice this task efficiently and it can be done only by reading very slowly, and by paying comparatively little attention to the general meaning of the text.第1题The author claims that there is a difference in reading speed______.A.among readers who have different experienceB.among all the readersC.between the poorly educated and the highly educatedD.among the highly educated people第2题A good reader is a reader who______.A.concentrates on the wonderful part of the articleB.always reads slowly and carefullyC.changes his speed according to the kind of textD.changes his speed according to the interesting of the text第3题The author says that when reading a novel, a good reader can quickly read______.A.every part of the bookB.the most wonderful part in the bookC.the major part in the bookD.the scientific part of the book第4题The last two sentences of the first paragraph mean that______.A.a reading speed too slow for a difficult book is just right for a non-serious oneB.a reading speed too slow for a non-serious book may be too fast for a difficult oneC.A reading speed too fast for difficult material is just right for a non-serious book is also too slow for a difficult oneD.A reading speed too slow for a non-serious book is also too slow for a difficult one第5题Which of the following can be the tide of the passage?A.Reading and listening.B.Difference between highly educated and poorly educated.C.Practice reading skill.D.Difference in the speed and efficiency of reading.下一题(6~10/共20题)Reading ComprehensionDirections: There are three passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished .statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Television has opened windows in everybody´s life. Young men will never again go to war as they did in 1914. Millions of people now have seen the effects of a battle. And the result has been a general dislike of war, and perhaps more interest in helping those who suffer from allthe terrible things that have been shown on the screen.Television has also changed politics. The most distant areas can now follow state affairs, see and hear the politicians before an election. Better informed, people are more likely to vote, and so to make their opinion count.Unfortunately, television´s influence has been extremely harmful to the young. Children do not have enough experience to realize that TV shows present an unreal world; that TV advertisements lie to sell products that are sometimes bad or useless. They believe that the violence they see is normal and acceptable. All educators agree that the "television generations" are more violent than their parents and grandparents.Also, the young are less patient. Used to TV shows, where everything is quick and interesting, they do not have the patience to read an article without pictures; to read a book that requires thinking; to listen to a teacher who doesn´t do funny things like the people on children´s programs.And they expect all problems to be solved happily in ten, fifteen, or thirty minutes. That´s the time it takes on the screen.第6题In the past, many young people______.A.knew the effects of warB.went in for politicsC.liked to save the wounded in warsD.were willing to be soldiers第7题Now with TV people can______.A.discuss politics at an information centerB.show more interest in politicsC.make their own decisions on political affairsD.express their opinions freely第8题The author thinks that TV advertisements______.A.are not reliable on the wholeB.are useless to peopleC.are a good guide to adultsD.are very harmful to the young第9题Which is NOT true according to the passage?A.People have become used to crimes now.B.On a TV screen some problems can be solved quickly.C.People now like to read books with pictures.D.The adults are less violent than the young.第10题From the passage, we can conclude that______.A.children should keep away from TV programs should be improvedC.children´s books should have pictures has a deep influence on the young上一题下一题(11~15/共20题)Reading ComprehensionDirections: There are three passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished .statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Looking back on my childhood, I am convinced that naturalists are born and not made. Although we were brought up in the same way, my brothers and sisters soon abandoned their pressed flowers and insects. Unlike them, I had no ear for music and languages, I was not an early reader and I could not do mental arithmetic.Before World War I we spent our summer holidays in Hungary. I have only the dim memory of the house we lived in, of my room and my toys. Nor do I recall clearly the large family of grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins who gathered next door. But I do have a crystal-clear memory of dogs, the farm animals, the local birds and above all, the insects.I am a naturalist, not a scientist. I have a strong love of the natural world, and my enthusiasm has led me into varied investigations. I love discussing my favorite topics and enjoy burning the midnight oil, reading about other people´s observations and discoveries. Then something happens that brings these observations together in my conscious mind. Suddenly you fancy you see the answer to the riddle, because it all seems to fit together. This has resulted in my publishing 300 papers and books, which some might honor with the title of scientific research.But curiosity, a keen eye, a good memory and enjoyment of the animal and plant world do notmake a scientist; one of the outstanding and essential qualities required is self-discipline, a quality I lack. A scientist can be made. A naturalist is born. If you can combine the two, you get the best of born worlds.第11题According to the author, a born naturalist should first of all be______.A.full of enthusiasmB.self-disciplinedC.full of ambitionD.knowledgeable第12题The first paragraph tells us that the author______.A.lost his hearing when he was a childB.didn´t like his brothers and sistersC.was born to a naturalist´s familyD.was interested in flowers and inserts in his childhood第13题The author says that he is a naturalist rather than a scientist probably because he thinks he______.A.just reads about other people´s observations and discoverieses up with solutions in most natural waysC.has a great deal of trouble doing mental arithmeticcks some of the qualities required of scientist第14题The author can´t remember his relatives clearly because______.A.he was fully occupied with observing natureB.he didn´t live very long with themC.the family was extremely largeD.he was too young when he lived with them第15题Which of the following statement is true?A.The author believes that a born naturalist cannot be a scientist.B.The author´s brothers and sisters were good at music and languages.C.The author read a lot of books about the natural world and the oil industry.D.The author spent a lot of time working on riddles.上一题下一题(16~20/共20题)Reading ComprehensionDirections: There are three passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished .statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.As the Titanic was sinking and women and children climbed into lifeboats, the musicians from the ship´s band stood and played. They died when the ship went down. Men stood on the deck and smoked cigarettes. They died, too. This behavior is puzzling to economists, who like to believe that people tend to act in their own self-interest. "There was no pushing," says DavidSavage, an economist at Queensland University in Australia who has studied witness reports from the survivors. It was "very, very orderly behavior.´´Savage has compared the behavior of the passengers on the Titanic with those on the Lusitania, another ship that also sank at about the same time. But when the Lusitania went down, the passengers panicked. There were a lot of similarities between these two events. These two ships were both luxury ones, they had a similar number of passengers and a similar number of survivors.The biggest difference, Savage concludes, was time. The Lusitania sank in less than 20 minutes. But for the Titanic, it was two-and-a-half hours. "If you´ve got an event that lasts two-and-a-half hours, social order will take over and everybody will behave in a social manner,"Savage says. "If you´re going down in under 17 minutes, basically it´s instinctual." On the Titanic, social order ruled, and it was women and children first. On the Lusitania, instinct won out. The survivors were largely the people who could swim and get into the lifeboats.Yes, we´re self-interested, Savage says. But we´re also part of a society. Given time, social norms can beat our natural self-interest. A hundred years ago, women and children always went first. Men were stoic. On the Titanic, there was enough time for these norms to become forceful. 第16题According to the author, economists were confused because______.A.people´s behavior was disorderly on the TitanicB.people did not act in their own interest on the TitanicC.most men did not act in their own interest on the LusitaniaD.women and children could not climb into the lifeboats第17题The expression "won out" in the third paragraph is closest in meaning to "______".A.took the upper handB.went out of controlC.ran wildD.shut down第18题According to David Savage, ______was a critical factor in determining people´s behavior in the sinking of these two ships.A.social orderB.placeC.instinctD.time第19题According to the passage, which of the following is NOT TRUE?A.Both ships were expensive ones.B.A similar number of women and children from both ships survived.C.About the same number of people from each ship died.D.Both ships had a similar number of passengers.第20题Which of the following is an appropriate title for this passage?A.Why Didn´t Musicians Play on the Lusitania?B.Why Did Musicians Play on the Titanic?C.Why Didn´t Passengers Panic on the Titanic?D.Why Did Men Smoke on the Titanic?上一题下一题 Vocabulary and StructureDirections: In this part there are 30 incomplete sentences.

Colds are caused by viruses hidden in the body, and you’re better off out on the ski slopes or even waiting for the bus on a snowy day than you are in a warm room, surrounded by friends, co-workers, or fellow students, who just may be passing the virus around. If you feel a chill when you’re coming down with a cold, you’re already sick. A chill is an early symptom: it’s the c old that caused the chill, not the other way around.While the virus can spread by air when a cold-sufferer coughs or sneezes (打喷嚏), surprisingly, this is not the most common route of transmission. Numerous studies have now shown that most colds are “caught” by hand contact.A cold-sufferer rubs her nose, thereby transferring the virus to her hand. Then a friend comes to visit. “Don’t kiss me,” she warns, so the friend steps back and presses her hand. The friend then wipes her own nose or eye – and several days later caught a cold. Parents pick up their child’s discarded tissues and carefully throw them away, but fail to wash their hands afterward.Cold viruses also can be transferred to objects –telephones, towels, plates –and remain infectious for up to three hours. Frequent hand washing on the part of the cold-sufferer as well as other members of the household – will minimize the spread of viruses in this way.61. Which of the following will most probably cause you to catch a cold?A)Staying in a warm room with a lot of people.B)Staying outdoors on a cold day.C)Staying on the ski slopes.D)Waiting for the bus on a snowy day.62. Which of the following is TRUE?A)Colds are caused by exposure to severe weather.B)Viruses can only spread through air.C)Viruses hidden in the body cause colds.D)Most colds can be caught by hand contact.63. To prevent viruses from spreading, we should ________.A)shake hands with our friends instead of kissing themB)stay at home as much as possibleC)often wash our handsD)often clean our noses and eyes64. The word discarded in Paragraph 2 most probably means ________.A)thrown awayB)put awayC)cleared awayD)given away65. The best title for this passage might be ________.A) Colds and VirusesB) Ways to Avoid Catching ColdsC) The Spread of Cold VirusesD) Symptoms of ColdsPassage 2Questions 66 to 70 are based on the following passage:America is a society in which children have watched approximately 18,000 television commercials (广告) by the time they have reached their middle teens. My friend Jolie learned this fact a few weeks ago and decided to do something about it.She thinks that the number of commercials that children see can influence the way they view the world. That is, Jolie believes that children who watch so many advertisements will grow up to believe that the most important thing in life is to buy, buy, buy!This, says Jolie, is wrong. A little child cannot understand advertisements for what they are and so believes totally in what he or she hears.I have been thinking about what Jolie has told me. I suppose that she is right. I know that it is easy to manipulate the minds of children because they don’t see things logically, as adults do. And I am upset myself at how the advertisers can control a child’s outlook on the world. I think I should join Jolie in her efforts to change advertising tactic (策略) when it comes to advertisements for children. I really have a responsibility to make sure that future generations are given every chance to develop their minds without the interference of mass media.Of course, there is another side to the issue. After all, parents ought to take responsibility for what their children watch and how much television they see. I know that many parents just want their children to be quiet, and so they let them watch as much television as they want. But, in the long run, the methods of advertisers have enormous power because we are a society of consumers.I only hope that some day there can be a solution to this problem. Children need our guidance, not the guidance of advertisers.66. What does “it” in Line 3 refer to?A) The number of commercials children watch.B) The way children view the world.C) The fact that children are exposed to so many TV commercials.D) The negative influence of television programs on children67. Jolie believes that ________.A)television advertising is only for childrenB)television advertising has a bad influence on childrenC)there are enough advertisements on TVD)television advertising should be banned68. Being exposed to so many commercials children may ________.A)have bought lots of toysB)see things as adults doC)be misled by these advertisementsD)learn the methods of advertisers69. The word “manipulate” in the second paragraph most probably means ________.A)advertiseB)purchaseC)controlD)buy70. What is the author’s attitude towards the large number of TV commercials that childrenwatch?A) Concerned.C) Positive.B) Hopeful. D) Disappointed.Passage ThreeQuestions 71 to 75 are based on the following passage:Vegetarians may be healthier, but meat eaters do more for the environment. A survey of the energy used to produce and distribute various foods shows that such foods as sweets, ice cream, potato chips and white bread are among the most energy-efficient -- and so least polluting -- foods in our diet. Tea, coffee, tomatoes, salad vegetables and white fish, on the other hand,are environmentally unfriendly.David Coley and colleagues of the Center for Energy and the Environment at the University of Exeter have analyzed how much energy from fuel is used in the complete production cycle of food in a typical shopping basket. The analysis includes the manufacture and application of fertilizers and other chemicals, harvesting, processing, packaging, transport and waste disposal.In a study of the diets of more than 2,000 people, they found that it takes around 18,000 megajoules (兆焦耳) of energy each year to get a typical Briton’s food to the table. This is almost six times the energy contained in the food itself. In all, the process consumes almost a tenth of the national energy budget, adding 15 million tons of carbon to the atmosphere in the form of carbon dioxide.The study will trouble those trying to be both healthy and green. The most energy-consuming item is coffee, which requires 177MJ of energy to produce 1MJ of food intake. But typical salad vegetables require 45 MJ and white fish 36, compared to 8 MJ for beef and burgers, 7 for chicken and 6 for lamb, while fresh fruit consumes between 10 and 22 MJ, crisps, white bread and ice cream are all right at the bottom of the table, consuming less than 1 MJ each.“Meat does well because it is not highly processed, provides a lot of calories and is often grown locally,” says Coley. In a sense, food is a large part of an individual’s impact on the greenhouse effect. Many of us could change our diets to have less impact.71. The most energy-efficient and least polluting food in our diet is ________.A) meatB) fruitC) white breadD) salad vegetables72. Dr. Coley’s analysis of energy used in the production cycle of food includes all of thefollowing EXCEPT ________.A) application of chemicalsB) the influence of climateC) packaging of foodD) waste disposal73. In a study of the diet of more than 2,000 people, Dr. Coley found that ________.A) the energy contained in the food itself is six times the energy consumedB) energy budget adds 15 million tons of carbon to the atmosphereC) the food a typical Briton consumes each year requires 18,000 MJ to produceD) the energy contained in the food itself is a tenth of the national energy budget74. Those who try to be both healthy and green are troubled when they know that ________.A) some healthy foods, like tomatoes, are not greenB) local meat is better for health than green foodC) people’s diets vary greatlyD) some healthy foods are environmentally unfriendly75. The author suggests that ________.A) we change our diets to have less influence on greenhouse effectB) we grow vegetables to reduce the greenhouse effectC) we eat more meat to help the development of modern food industryD) we eat more vegetables in order to become healthierPart ⅤTranslation from English into Chinese (15 points)Directions: In this part there is a passage with 5 underlined parts, numbered 76 to 80. After reading the passage carefully, you should translate the underlined parts into Chinese.Remember to write your translation on the Translation Sheet.Asian companies (except those in Japan and South Korea) have long been plagued (使苦恼) by high turnover. 76) Many employees feel that the fastest track to higher salaries and more responsibility is to change jobs as often as possible. 许多员工都认为获得更高薪水和更多责任的最快途径就是勤换工作。

Reading Comprehension (40)Passage OneFor years it has been possible to set up cameras to take pictures of cars as they speed along highways, jump lights or drive too fast down the street.However, even if the pictures are taken automatically (自动地), someone still has to do all the paperwork of sending out fines. But now a British company called EEV has come up with a computerized video system that can do it all automatically.They suggest that all number plates (车牌) have a bar code as well as the usual number. The bar codes are just stripes of lines like those you see on food packets but bigger. EEV‟s high speed video camera system can read a bar-coded number plate even if the car is doing over 100 miles per hour. The computer controlling the system could then use the information from the bar code to find out the name and address of the driver (from the car records), print out the fine and send it off automatically. The inventors also suggest that the system should watch traffic to help catch stolen cars.The new electronic system could be watching everyone that passes the cameras! Many people find the idea that “big brother is watching you”is more of a worry than a few motorists getting away with driving too fast. Besides, some people will be very unhappy to realize that with the new system the police should find out where a particular car has been.1. The best title for the article can be _____.A. people who drive too FastB. stop people from driving too fastC. EEV and the police systemD. a new computerized system for motoring breaking laws2.

An additional purpose of the new system is that it could _____.A. help catch stolen carsB. add code numbersC. watch everyone who drives too fastD. print out bar codes automatically5. “Big brother is watching you is more of a worry than” means that many people _____.A. are more worried about fast-driving motorists than being watched onB. find “big brothers” more worryingthan motorists C. are more worried about being watched on than about fast-driving motorists D. find motorists more worried than “big brothers”Passage TwoPeter Fern was mad on mountain. Climbing was the love of his life. Church towers, seaside cliffs, rock faces of ice mountains, anything ----- “If it‟s there,”he used to say, “then I want to climb it.” So the news of his marriage gave me a surprise. I‟d never known him to take much interest in girls. Well, well, Peter Fern a married man! I couldn‟t get over it.I wondered whether his wife would try to stop some of his risky adventures.She was French perhaps from that place where he usually spent his holidays. Chamonix, wasn‟t it?From Chamonix he‟s climbed Mont Blanc on his seventeenth birthday, and one of the Aifuilles the day after! That was it, then: She was French, from a family, most of whom like climbing. No doubt. No other explanation.A month later I met them both in town. Anna surprised me be cause she was English. She was a dancer in the theatre. “Neve r climbed more than sixty steps in my life.” She told me. “Peter has 11im interests, and I‟ve got mine. No problems.” “No problems.”“None at all,”Peter said, smiling. “Where did you spend your honeymoon?”“I flew to New York to see the drake Dancers on Broadway. A wond erful show!” Peter said, “Didn‟t want to miss the good weather. So I went to Switzerland and climbed the north face of the Eiger with Allen Dunlop. Great fun, the Eiger.

But Hagner also has to take the two boys to soccer or hockey or basketball while dropping off her daughter at piano lessons or Girl Scout Club.Often the exhausted family doesn‟t get home until 7 p.m. There is just time for a quick supper before homework.In today‟s world,middle-class American and British parents treat their children as if they are competitors racing for some finishing line.Parents take their children from activity to activity in order to make their future bright. It seems that raising a genius has become a more important goal than raising a happy and well-balanced child.“Doctors across the country are reporting a growing num ber of children suffering from stomach-aches and headaches due to exhaustion and stress,” says child expert William Daherty of the U niversity of Minnesota.Teachers are dealing with exhausted kids in the classroom. It‟s a very serious problem. Many children attend after-school clubs by necessity. But competitive pressures also create an explosion of activities. They include sports, language, music and math classes for children as young as four.“There is a new parenting trend (趋势) under way which says that you have to tap all your child‟s potential (潜能) at a young age; otherwise you will let him down,” says Terry Apter, a Cambridge based child and adolescent psychiatrist (精神病学家).“It isn‟t entirely new: There have always been pushy parents. But what was previously seen as strange behavior is nowwell accepted.”11. From the second paragraph of this passage we can find that _____.A. Hag ner spends much time helping her children‟s lessonsB. Hagner doesn't spend much time on her full-time jobC. Hagner is interested in sports and musicD. Hagner busies herself by following a trend12. British parents, as the writer described in this passage, _____.A. treat their children as sports playersB. pay no attention to their children's lessonsC. bring up their children in a simple wayD. give their children little time to develop freely13.

The word “tap” means _____.A. knock offB. draw outC. put inD. give off15. The last paragraph tells us that in British _____.A. parents used to take their children to every clubB. parents used to be wise on how to raise childrenC. paren ts have all benefited from children’s clubsD. parents have come to know the standard of education Passage FourMan is a land animal, but he is also closely tied to the sea. Throughout history the sea has served the needs of man. The sea has provided man with food and a convenient way to travel to many parts of the world. Toady, experts believe that nearly two-thirds of the world…s population live within eighty kilometers of the seacoast. In the modern technological world the sea offers many resources to help mankind survive.Resources on land are beginning to grow less. The sea, however, still offers hope to supply many of man…s needs in the future.The riches of the sea yet to be developed by man…s technology are impressive. Oil and gas exploration s have existed for nearly thirty years. Valuable amounts of minerals such as iron, copper and so on exist on the ocean floor.Besides oil and gas, the sea may offer new sources of energy. For example, warm temperature of the ocean can be used as the steam in a steamship. Sea may also offer a source of energy as electricity for mankind.Technology is enabling man to explore even deeper under the sea. It is obvious that the technology to harvest the sea continues to improve. By the 2050, experts believe that the problems to explore the food, minerals and energy resources of the sea will have been largel7y solved.16. What is the beat title for the passage?A. Needs of Man.B. Sea Harvest and FoodC. Sea and Sources of EnergyD. Sea Exploring Technology.17. It can be inferred from the passage that ______.A. man hasn…t completely m ade use of the riches of the seaB. technology for exploring the sea has been solvedC. harvesting rice in the sea will be made possibleD. in the near future man can live on the ocean floor18.

To argue that man should use steamships.D. To indicate that it is warmer in the ocean than on land.19. According to the author, technology is important because ______.A. resources on land are running short in ten yearsB. man can use it to explore the deeper seaC. it is a lot of fun diving into the seaD. ancient people used it to explore the sea20.

On a trip to a zoo, perhaps ? If you had attended a winter activity in New Y ork a few years ago, you would have seen a whole polar bear club. These “Polar Bear s”are people who meet frequ ently in the winter to swim in freezing cold water. That day, the air temperature was 3 degrees. And the water temp erature was a little higher. The members of the Polar Bear Club at Coney Island, New York are usually about the ag e of 60. Members must satisfy two requirements. First, the y must get along well with everyone else in the group; thi s is very important because there are so many different kin ds of people in the club. Polar Bears must also agree to s wim outdoors at least twice a month from November throu gh February.Doctors don’t agree about the medical effects of cold-water swimming. Some are worried about the dangers of a condition in which the body’s temperature drops so slow that finally the heart stops. Other doctors, however, point o ut that there is more danger of a heart attack during summ er swimming because the difference between the air temper ature and the water tempreature is much greater in summer than in winter.The Polar Bears themselves are satisfied with the bene fits of cold-water swimming. They say that their favorite f orm of exercise is very good for the circulatory system be cause it forces the blood to move fast to keep the body w arm. Cold-water swimmers usually turn bright red after a few minutes in the water. A person who turns blue probabl y has a very poor circulatory system and could not try col d-water swimming.The main benefits of cold-water swimming are probabl y mental. The Polar Bears love to swim all the year round; they find it fun and relaxing. As one 70-year-old woman says, “When I go into the water, I pour my troubles into t he ocean and let them float away.”1)、(单选题)Doctors _________ .•A、have different ideas about the medical effectsof cold-water swimming•B、believe swimming is helpful both in summer and in winter•C、enourage people to take part in cold-water swimming•D、point out the possible danger of blood illness during cold-water swimming2)、(单选题)According to the passage, somedoctors believe it is true that_______ .•A、Polar bears are bears swimming in freezing water•B、cold-water swimming can make the body temperature dangerously high•C、you are healthy if cold-water swimming turns yourskin color blue•D、cold-water swimming causes more heart attack in summer than in winter3)、(单选题)The Polar Bears like to swimyear-round, for _______ .•A、it is an easy way to keep the body warm in winter•B、they can stay young•C、they find it enjoyable and interesting•D、they might meet fewer troubles in life4)、(单选题)Which of the following isTRUE according to the text ?•A、The Polar Bear is a club in which people swim to protect polar bears.•B、The club members are all over 60 years old. •C、There is no woman in the club.•D、None of the above.5)、(单选题)This passage is mainly about_______ .•A、the requirements of the Polar Bear Club•B、a group of cold-water-swimming lovers•C、the Polar Bears’life in New York•D、doctors’ideas about cold-water swimming参考答案：1) A；2) D；3) C；4) D；5) B；展开解析33(15分)、How many times have you got upset because someone wasn't doing his job，because your child isn't behaving？H ow many times have you been irritatedwhen you've planne d something carefully and things didn't go as you'd hoped?This kind of anger and irritation happens to all of us —it’s part of the human experiences.One thing that irritates me is when people talk during a movie，or cut me off in traffic. Actually, I have a lot of these little annoyances—don't we all？And it isn’t alway s easy to find peace when you’ve become upset or irritate d.Let me tell you a little secret to finding peace of min d: see the glass as already broken .See, the cause of our stress, anger and irritation is tha t things don't go the way we like, the way we expect the m to. Think of how many times this has been true for yo u. And so the solution is simple：expect things to go wrong, expect things to be different than we hoped or planned，expect the unexpected to happen. And accept it.One quick example: on our recent trip to Japan, I told my kids to expect things to go wrong—they always do o n a trip. I told them, “See it as part of the adventure.”And this worked like a charm. When we inevitablytoo k the wrong train on a foreignlanguage subway system, or when it rained on the day we went to Disney Sea, or wh en we took three trains and walked 10 blocks only to find the National Children's Castle closed on Mondays...they sa id, “It's part of the adventure！”And it was all OK—we d idn't get too bothered.So when the nice glass you bought inevitably falls and breaks some day, you might get upset. But things will be different, if you see the glass as already broken, from th e day you get it. You know it'll break some day, so from the beginning, see it as already broken. Be a timetraveler, or someone with timetraveling vision, and see the future of this glass, from this moment until it inevitably breaks. And when it breaks, you won't be upset or sad—because it was already broken, from the day you got it. And you’ll realize that every moment you have with it is precious.1)、(单选题)The author would probablyagree that________.•A、we should control our anger and irritation •B、we must get well prepared for the future•C、optimism can help us overcome our anger and irritation•D、anger and irritation is a natural part of our life 2)、(单选题)The purpose of the author isto________.•A、tell us his own experience in life•B、advise us how to find peace of mind•C、tell us a happy trip he took with his children •D、ask us to see things from both sides3)、(单选题)By the underlined part (inPara.3), the author tells usto________.•A、get ready for the worst result of things•B、enjoy the process of things•C、expect little from life•D、find the relationship between cause and effect 4)、(单选题)The author’s children couldenjoy their trip to Japanbecause________.•A、everything went smoothly•B、they had a lot of adventures•C、they had expected things to go wrong•D、they could soon get used to the customs there5)、(单选题)We can learn from the passage that theauthor________.•A、often gets angry in his life•B、can adjust his state of mind accordingly•C、always expects others to act in his way•D、always suffers from his anger and irritation参考答案：1) D；2) B；3) A；4) C；5) B；展开解析翻译题34(2分)、If they get the feeling you really care，they'll respond to t hat.

Each passage isfollowed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each ofthem there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You shoulddecide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on theAnswer Sheet.Passage OneQuestions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage.It is true that some couples spend every waking minute together.Others fill their hours with personal hobbies, outside interestsand even part-time jobs, just to keep their distance from each other!"There should be private time and couple time," suggests Dr. Stephen, "You don't want your latter years to turn into a process where two people unite as one. If you hold too tightly to your partner, it's going to cause resentment and anger. If you're completely separate, you'll both be lonely and disconnected. You need balance. So you have to talk about how you'll achieve that."The right balance It's different for every couple. "Having a conversation about time can be difficult, but it's important for both partners to process those feelings out loud," Dr. Stephen says. "You should not be accusing and act as a judge—ask the difficult questions, but do it in a loving way. You could say something like, 'How are we going to be as individuals and how are we going to be as a couple' "Barbara and Chris Christensen have achieved the balance that works for them. In addition to daily routines that keep them close —including about 10 minutes for a daily check-in and about a half hour of relaxation time—they each maintain separate interests and friendships."We have found that we need time apart," Barbara says. "I have a group of women friends that I have known for the last 30 years. We have dinner out once a month. We women also have parties and weekend or weeklong vacations as a group at a beach or somewhere.Chris, a former fighter pilot, has many aviation-oriented (航空的) groups and friends and also a poker-playing group. We have found it important to have separate time as well as together time."11. The author writes the passage to ______.A) offer some suggestions on how to spend the time afterretirementB) advise couples to develop their separate hobbiesC) warn couples not to be accusing each otherD) give people some advice on how to entertain themselves afterretirement12. The second paragraph is mainly intended to_______.A) warn the husband not to act as a judgeB) suggest couples have discussions about difficultiesC) suggest how to keep the correct balanceD) require couples to be considerate13. Dr. Stephen suggests that _________after retirement.A) couples s tay together all the timeB) couples express their feelings in a loving wayC) couples be separateD) wives make many friends14. It can be inferred that________.A) many couples are faced with problems after retirementB) America has a large population of retired peopleC) most people join various social groups after retirementD) playing poker is a popular activity among retired people15. Barbara and her friends do the following EXCEPT_______.A) having dinner regularlyB) holding partiesC) having weekly vacations at the beachD) having fun playing pokerPassage TwoQuestions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.Elderly people respond best to a calm and unhurried environment. This is not always easy to provide as their behavior can sometimes be irritating. If they get excited or upset then they may become more difficult to look after. Although sometimes it can be extremely difficult, it is best to be patient and not to get upset yourself. You should always encourage old people to do as much as possible for themselves but be ready to lend a helping hand when necessary.Failing memory makes it difficult for the person to recall all the basic kinds of information we take for granted. The obvious way to help in this situation is to supply the information that is missing and help them make sense of what is going on. You must use every opportunity to provide information but remember to keep itsimple and straightforward.“Good morning, Mum. This is Fiona, your daughter. It is eight o’clock, so if you get up now, we can have breakfast downstairs.”When the elderly makes confused statements e.g. about going out to his or her old employment or visiting a dead relative, correct in a calm matter-of-fact fashion: “You don’t work in the office any more. You are retired now. Will you come and help me with the dishes”We rely heavily on the information provided by signposts, clocks, calendars and newspapers. These assist us to organize and direct our behavior. Confused old people need these aids all the time to compensate for their poor memory. Encourage them to use reminder boards or diaries for important coming events and label the contents of different cupboards and drawers. Many other aids such as information cards, old photos, scrap books, and addresses or shopping list could help in individual case.16. Why can’t we sometimes keep calm in front of old peopleA)Because old people sometimes annoy us.B)Because old people sometimes don’t understand us.C)Because we are sometimes in a bad mood.D)Because we are sometimes in a hurry.17. What does the author encourage us when we talk with old peopleA) To do as little as possible.B) To do as much as they can.C) To help others when needed.D) To be patient and not get upset.18. How should we provide information to old people with failing memoriesA) By being helpful.B) By being direct.C) By being sensitive.D) By being obvious.19. What is the purpose of information provided on such things as signpostsA) To help us organize and direct our behavior.B) To help us make use of newspapers.C) To help us correct other people.D) To help us understand statements.20. What is the main idea of the passageA)What happens to old people with failing memory.B)How to help old people with failing memory.C)Why old people have poor memory.D)How to improve bad memory.Passage ThreeQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.It is often the case that when something goes wrong，it can be very satisfying to say，”Well, it’s so-and-so’s fault.” or“I know I’m late，but it’s not my fault；the car broke down.” It is probably not your fault，but once you form the habit of blaming somebody or something else for a bad situation，you are a loser. You have no power and could do nothing that helps change the situation. However, you can have great power over what happens to you if you stop focusing on whom to blame and start focusing on how to remedy the situation. This is the winner’s key to success.Winners are great at overcoming problems. For example, if you were late because your car broke down, maybe you need to have your car examined more regularly. Or, you might start to carry along with you the useful phone numbers, so you could call for help when in need. For another example, if your colleague causes you problems on the job for lack of responsibility or ability, find ways of dealing with his irresponsibility or inability rather than simply blame the person. Ask to work with a different person, or don’t rely on the person. You should accept that the person. Ask to work with a different person, or don’t rely on this person. You should accept that the person is not reliable and find creative ways to work successfully regardless of how your colleague fails to do hisjob well.This is what being a winner is all about—creatively using your skills and talents so that you are successful no matter what happens. Winners don’t have fewer problems in their lives; they have just as many difficult situations to face as anybody else. They are just better at seeing those problems as challenges and opportunities to develop their own talents. So, stop focusing on “whose fault it is.” Once you are confident about your power over bad situations, problems are just stepping stop on for success.21. According to the passage, winners tend to _______.A) deal with problems rather than blame othersB) meet with fewer difficulties in their livesC) have responsible and able colleaguesD) blame themselves rather that others22.The word “remedy” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to “_______”.A) avoid B) acceptC) improve D) consider23. When your colleague brings about a problem, you should _______.A) find a better way to handle itB) blame him for his lack of responsibilityC) tell him to find the cause of the problemD) ask a more able colleague for help24. When problems occur, winners take them as _______A) excuses for their failuresB) barriers to greater powerC) challenges to their colleaguesD) chances for self-development25. Which of the following is the best title for the passageA) A Winner’s Problem. B) A Winner’s Secret.C) A Winner’s Opportunity. D) A Winner’s Achievement.Passage FourQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.In order to go ahead, large companies need a way to reach the savings of the public at large. The same problem, on a smaller scale, faces practically every company trying to develop new products and create new jobs. There can be little prospect of raising the sort of sums needed from friends and people we know, and while banks may agree to provide short-term finance, they are generally unwilling to provide money on a permanent basis for long term projects. So companies turn to the public, inviting people to lend them money, or take a share in the business in exchange for a share in future profits. This they do by issuing stocks and shares in the businessthrough the Stock Exchange. By doing so，they can put into circulation the savings of individuals and institutions, both at home and overseas.When the saver needs his money back, he does not have to go to the company with whom he originally placed it. Instead, he sells his shares through a stockbroker to some other saver who is seeking to invest his money.Many of the services needed both by industry and by each of us are provided by the Government or by local authorities. Without hospitals, roads, electricity, telephones, railways, this country could not function. All these require continuous spending on new equipment and new development if they are to serve us properly, requiring more money than is raised though taxes alone. The Government, local authorities, and nationalized industries therefore frequently need to borrow money to finance major capital spending, and they, too, come to the Stock Exchange.There is hardly a man or woman in this country whose job or whose standard of living does not depend on the ability of his or her employers to raise money to finance new development. In one way or another, this new money must come from the savings of the country. The Stock Exchange exists to provide a channel through which these savings can reach those who need finance.26.Almost all companies involved in new production must ______.A) rely on their own financial resourcesB) persuade the banks to provide long-term loanC) borrow large sums of money from friends and people they knowD) depend on the population as a whole for finance27.The money which enables these companies to go ahead with theirprojects is ______.A) invested in different companies on the Stock ExchangeB) exchanged for part ownership in the Stock ExchangeC) raised by the selling of shares in the companiesD) repaid to its original owners as soon as possible28.When the savers want their money back, they ______.A) put their shares in the company back on the marketB) ask another company to obtain their money for themC) look for other people to borrow money fromD) transfer their money to a more successful company29.All the essential services on which we depend are ______.A) run by the Government or our local authoritiesB) in constant need of financial supportC) financed wholly by rates and taxesD) unable to provide for the needs of the population30.The Stock Exchange makes it possible for the government, localauthorities and nationalized industries ______.A) to make everybody lend money to themB) to borrow as much money as they wishC) to make certain everybody saves moneyD) to raise money to finance new developmentsPart III Vocabulary and Structure (25 minutes)Directions:There are 25 incomplete sentences in this part.

It is actually a common courtesy (礼节) in the world. With a history of thousands of years, this Chinese tradition has formed and been passed down from generation to generation. For Chinese people, courtesy demands reciprocity (互惠), which means people who are well-mannered to others will receive kindness and favors.

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer to each question. Please mark the corresponding letter for each item on the Answer Sheet.Passage 1The family in the western world has changed greatly during the last two centuries. Social scientists say this is one of the important changes from a traditional society to a modern society. Before the nineteenth century, families usually arranged marriages for their children. Y oung people did not decide whom they wanted to marry. After they got married, they usually had a lot of children. This family was an important part of the large family of aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents, and other relatives.By the nineteenth century, most young people could choose whom they wanted to marry. Marriages joined two people and not two families. The reason why two people got married was because they loved each other.At the same time, parents began to realize that they had to take very good care of their children. They had to take care of their health and try to give them an education. Before this, most people did not go to school. But now education was necessary for a good life.The parents decided they should have fewer children as they could give each one a good life. They thought it was important for the mother to spend as much time as possible with her children. Before, the family all worked together at home. After 1800s more fathers worked outside the home for money. Mothers stayed home and had greater control of the home and children.Family life is changing even faster in the United States today. There is almost one divorce for every two marriages. Over 10 percent of families have a mother and children but no father. At least half of all children will live part of the time with only one parent. 50 percent of all mothers work outside the home.In Canada people are getting divorced and remarried more often. They are havingfewer children. This is having a powerful effect on a country where change has usuallybeen slow. Some social scientists think that soon there will be no family life in the United States as we know it today. They do not know how people will live. Others think society needs families, and we will always have them.注意：此部分试题请在答题卡上作答。

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. Passage OneQuestions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage.In bringing up children, every parent watches eagerly the child’s acquisition (学会) of each new skill-the first spoken words, the first independent steps, or the beginning of reading and writing. It is often tempting to hurry the child beyond his natural learning rate, but this can set up dangerous feelings of failure and states of worry in the child: This might happen at any stage. A baby might be forced to use a toilet too early, a young child might be encouraged to learn to read before he knows the meaning of the words he reads. On the other hand, though, if a child is left alone too much, or without any learning opportunities, he loses his natural enthusiasm for life and his desire to find out new things for himself.Patents vary greatly in their degree of strictness towards their children. Some may be especially strict in money matters. Others are severe over times of coming home at night or punctuality for meals. In general, the controls imposed represent the needs of the parents and the values of the community as much as the child’s own happiness.As regards the development of moral standards in the growing child, consistency is very important in parental teaching. To forbid a thing one day and excuse it the next is no foundation for morality (道德). Also, parents should realize that “example is better than precept”. If they are not sincere and do not practise what they preach (说教), their children may grow confused, and emotionally insecure when they grow old enough to think for themselves, and realize they have been to some extent fooled.A sudden awareness of a marked difference between their parents’ principles and their morals can be a dangerous disappointment.11. Eagerly watching the child’s acquisition of new skills ________.A) should be avoidedB) is universal among parentsC) sets up dangerous states of worry in the childD) will make him lose interest in learning new things12. In the process of children’s learning new skills parents ________.A) should encourage them to read before they know the meaning of the words they readB) should not expect too much of themC) should achieve a balance between pushing them too hard and leaving them on their ownD) should create as many learning opportunities as possible13. The second paragraph mainly tells us that ________.A) parents should be strict with their childrenB) parental controls reflect only the needs of the parents and the values of the communityC) parental restrictions vary, and are not always enforced for the benefit of the children aloneD) parents vary in their strictness towards their children according to the situation14. The word “precept” (Line 3, Para. 3) probably means “________”.A) idea B) punishmentC) behavior D) instruction15. In moral matters, parents should ________.A) observe the rules themselvesB) be aware of the marked difference between adults and childrenC) forbid things which have no foundation in moralityD) consistently ensure the security of their childrenPassage TwoQuestions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.These days we take for granted the wide variety of music available on the radio. But, this wasn’t always the case. In the early days of radio, stations were capable of broadcasting only a narrow range of sounds, which was all right for the human voice but music didn’t sound very good. There was also a great deal of crackling and other static noises that further interfered with the quality of the sound.A man named Edwin Armstrong, who was a music lover, set out to change this. He invented FM radio, a technology that allowed stations to send a broad range of frequencies that greatly improved the quality of the music.Now, you’d think that this would have made him a millionaire; it didn’t. Radio stations at that time had invested enormous amounts of money in the old technology. So the last thing they wanted was to invest millions more in the new technology. Nor did they want to have to compete with other radio stations that had a superior sound and could put them out of business. So they pressured the Federal Communications Commission —the department of the United States government that regulates radio stations — to put restrictive regulations on FM radio.The result was that its use was limited to a very small area around New England. Of course as we all know, Edwin Armstrong’s FM technology eventually prevailed and was adopted by thousands of stations round the world. But this took years of court battles and he never saw how itcame to affect the lives of almost everyone.16. What is the passage mainly about?A) The invention of musical recording equipment.B) The role of government in mass communications.C) The emergence of a new technology.D) The similarities between old and new radio stations.17. What was the main disadvantage of early radio broadcasting?A) It was very expensive.B) The sound quality was poor.C) It could only transmit a human voice.D) The signal was transmitted over a small area.18. What was the purpose of Edwin Armstrong by inventing FM radio?A) To make it possible for radio stations to broadcast a broad range of sounds.B) To make other radio stations spend a large sum of money on more research.C) To make himself world-famous and therefore earn more money.D) To make radio stations compete with one another.19. Why did the owners of radio stations react negatively to Armstrong’s invention?A) Its use was too strictly regulated. B) They thought it was unsafe.C) It threatened their business. D) It was of poor quality.20. What does the passage imply about Edwin Armstrong?A) He became a millionaire from his invention.B) He was an accomplished musician.C) He worked for the Federal Communications Commission.D) He died before FM became popular.Passage ThreeQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.Psychologist George Spilich and colleagues at Washington College in Chestertown, Maryland, decided to find out whether, as many smokers say, smoking helps them to “think and concentrate. Spilich put young non-smokers, active smokers and smokers deprived (被剥夺) of cigarettes through a series of tests.In the first test, each subject (试验对象) sat before a computer screen and pressed a key as soon as he or she recognized a target letter among a grouping of 96. In this simple test, smokers, deprived smokers and non-smokers performed equally well.The next test was more complex, requiring all to scan sequences of 20 identical letters and respond the instant one of the letters transformed into a different one. Non-smokers were faster, but under the stimulation of nicotine (尼古丁), active smokers were faster than deprived smokers.In the third test of short-term memory, non-smokers made the fewest errors, but deprived smokers committed fewer errors than active smokers.The fourth test required people to read a passage, then answer questions about it. Non-smokers remembered 19 percent more of the most important information than active smokers, and deprived smokers bested those who had smoked a cigarette just before testing. Active smokers tended not only to have poorer memories but also had trouble separating important information from insignificant details.“As our tests became more complex,” s ums up Spilich, “non-smokers performed better than smokers by wider and wider margins” He predicts, “smokers might perform adequately at m any jobs-until they got complicated. A smoking airline pilot could fly adequately if no problems arose, but if something went wrong, smoking might damage his mental capacity.”21. The purpose of George Spilich’s experiments is ________.A) to test whether smoking has a positive effect on the mental capacity of smokersB) to show how smoking damages people’s mental capacityC) to prove that smoking affects people’s regular performanceD) to find out whether smoking helps people’s short-term memory22. George Spilich’s experiment was conducted in such a way as to ________.A) compel the subjects to separate major information from minor detailsB) put the subjects through increasingly complex testsC) check the effectiveness of nicotine on smokersD) register the prompt responses of the subjects23. The word “bested” (Line 3, Para. 5) most probably means ________.A) beat B) enviedC) caught up with D) made the best of24. Which of the following statements is true?A) Active smokers in general performed better than deprived smokers.B) Active smokers responded more quickly than the other subjects.C) Non-smokers were not better than other subjects in performing simple tasks.D) Deprived smokers gave the slowest responses to the various tasks.25. We can infer from the last paragraph that ________.A) smokers should not expect to become airline pilotsB) smoking in emergency cases causes mental illnessC) no airline pilots smoke during flightsD) smokers may prove unequal to handing emergency casesPassage FourQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.St. Patrick’s Day (March 17) is one of the most important holidays in Ireland. People will wear green shirts, ties, and hair ribbons. Some even dye their hair green because they believe that on that day the color brings them good luck.On St. Patrick’s Day, the Irish around the world traditionally attend church in the morning and have some celebrations in the afternoon. They dance, drink, parade, and feast. A traditional meal includes meat, cabbage and a special Irish beer called Guinness.St. Patrick’s Day is a religious holiday that can be traced back more than one thousand years ago, and it is related to a boy named St. Patrick who became an Irish saint when he grew up.He was born to a wealthy family in Wales around the year 385 AD. But when he was sixteen, a band of raiders（劫掠者）took him as a slave to what is now the neighboring island of Ireland.Patrick lived there for several years. He was so lonely and afraid that he took solace in religion and became a faithful Christian. Later, he returned to Ireland as a missionary, traveling from village to village and talking about his faith. He explained to people the Father, the Son (Jesus), and the Holy Spirit as each of the leaves of a shamrock. There were three leaves, yet they were one plant. From then on, the shamrock, a small plant that grew wild around Ireland, has been a symbol of Ireland and because of it, green is associated with St. Patrick’s Day.26. From the passage, we can infer that ______.A) Patrick lived in Ireland all his lifeB) Patrick’s family was very poorC) Patrick’s life in what is now the neighboring island of Ireland was hardD) Patrick didn’t believe in Christianity27. What is the symbol of Ireland according to this passage?A) St. Patrick. B) Guinness. C) Cabbage. D) Shamrock.28.

What is the passage about?A) The symbols of St. Patrick’s Day.B) The origin of St. Patrick’s Day.C) St. Patrick’s life. D) The history of St. Patrick’s Day.Part III Vocabulary and Structure (25 minutes) Directions:There are 25 incomplete sentences in this part.

Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.Passage OneAmericans this year will swallow 15, 000 tons of aspirin, one of the safest and most effective drugs invented by man. As the most popular medicine in the world today, itis an effective pain reliever. Its bad effects are relatively mild, and it is cheap. Although aspirin was first sold by a German company in 1899, it has been around much longer than that. Hippocrates, in ancient Greece, understood the medical value of the leaves and tree bark which today are known to contain salicylates, the chemical in aspirin. During the 19th century there was a great deal of experimentation in Europe with this chemical, and it led to the introduction of aspirin. By 19l5, aspirin tablets(片剂) were available in the United States.For millions of people suffering from arthritis, aspirin is the only thing that works.A small quantity of aspirin (two five-grain tablets) relieves pain and inflammation. It also reduces fever by interfering with some of the body's reactions. Aspirin, in short, is truly the 20th-century wonder drug. On the other hand, it is also the second largest suicide drug and is the leading cause of poisoning among children. It has sideeffects that, although relatively mild, are largely unrecognized among users.Aspirin is very irritating to the stomach lining, and many aspirin takers complain about upset stomach. There is a right way and a wrong way to take aspirin. The best way is to chew the tablets before swallowing them with water, but few people can stand the bitter taste. Some people suggest crushing the tablets in milk or orange juice and drinking that.16. This article discusses __________.A. the multiple functions of aspirinB. how and why aspirin was inventedC. the history and the features of aspirinD. how to take aspirin properly17. According to the second paragraph, salicylates is __________.A. leaves and tree barksB. the old name of aspirinC. the name of a US companyD. a component of aspirin18. Which symptom can NOT be treated by aspirin?A. feverB. reactionsC. painD. inflammation19. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the best way to take aspirin is to take it __________.A. with bitter waterB. with orange juiceC. in tablet formD. in powder form20. The author of this article seems to be__________.A. against the use of aspirinB. in favour of aspirinC. doubtful about aspirinD. not interested in aspirinPassage TwoDr. Mary Jo Bane is the associate director of the Center for Research on Women. Herrecent study found “surprising evidence of the persistence of American commitments to family life”, which cast doubt on some common myths about American family. Myth 1: The American Family is Dying Because of the Soaring Divorce Rate.According to Dr. Bane’s study, the American family is changing, not dying. It is becoming smaller and the divorce rate is high. But Dr. Bane says that despite the high divorce rate, marriage has never been more popular. The majority of divorced people re-marry, but only 2％marry more than twice. Most marriages last a long time, and a large proportion of divorces are from teenage marriages. Depending on the specific situation, there’s often good reason for teenage marriages to break up.Myth 2: Working Mothers are Destroying the Family by Neglecting Their Children. “There’s no evidence that children receive less attention from mothers who work outside the home than from mothers working inside the home,” says Dr. Bane.“You have to divide the time into different categories: simple physical function and educational time or development time when a mother plays with the child. So far we haven’t seen the amount of educational or development time vary much, whether or not the mother works outside the home.” In fact, Dr. Bane finds evidence that working mothers, especially in the middle class, try to compensate for working by setting aside time exclusively for their children. “They probably read more to their children and spend more time in planned activities with them than nonworking mothers do.” says Dr. Bane.21. Dr. Mary Jo Bane’s study seems to suggest that _________.A. Americans are persistent in careerB. Americans are serious with their familiesC. American families are all breaking upD. American families are perfect as usual22. It can be inferred that the commonmyths of American family consider family life to be _________.A. in great dangerB. quite wonderfulC. changing too fastD. very satisfying23.

Police records that were studied for five years from over 2,400 cities and towns show a surprising link between changes in the season and crime patterns in UK.The pattern of crime has varied very little over a long period of years. Murder reaches its high during July and August, as do rape and other violent attacks. Murder, moreover, is more than seasonal: it is a weekend crime. It is also a nighttime crime: 62 percent of murders are committed between 6 p. m. and 6 a. m.Unlike the summer high in crimes of bodily harm, burglary has a different cycle. You are most likely to be robbed between 6 p. m. and 2 a. m. on a Saturday night in December, January or February. The most uncriminal month of all is May; however, more dog bites are reported in this month than in any other month of the year.On the other hand, our intellectual seasonal cycles are completely different from our criminal tendencies. Professor Huntington, of the Foundation for the Study of Cycles, made extensive studies to discover the seasons when people read serious books, attend scientific meetings, make the highest scores on examinations, and propose the most changes to patents. In all instances, he found a spring peak and an autumn peak separated by a summer low. On the other hand, Professor Huntington's studies indicated that June is the peak month for suicides and admissions to mental hospitals. June is also a peak month for marriages!26. The seasonal cycle of crime patterns is proved by_________.A. the figures in police recordsB. 2,400 cities and townsC. a magazine reportD. the studies by police officers27. According to paragraph 2, a murder would most possibly occur on _________.A. a weekday morning in springB. a weekday morning in autumnC. a weekend night in summerD. a weekend night in winter28. What makes May a special month of the year?A. All types of crimes happen in May.B. There is no crime happened in May.C. Criminals increase in number in May.D. Dog attacks are most frequent in May.29. Which behavior is NOT an example of human intellectual activities?A. Reading books on philosophy.B. Attending wedding ceremony.C. Working on mathematics questions.D. Innovating engineering machinery.30. According to Professor Huntington’s study, June is the peak month when people _________.A. get divorcedB. recover from mental illnessC. try to kill themselvesD. climb high and low mountainsPassage FourIn Lusaka, Zambia, a young man applying for a job was told to see the manager. He leaned over the receptionist’s desk and asked. “What tribe（部落）is he?” When the receptionist told him that the manager was a Mashona, the applicant replied, “Then I'll never get the job.”This phenomenon is called tribalism（部落主义）. There are more than 2,000 tribes in black Africa. Each has its own language, customs, and physical characteristics thatmake its members almost immediately recognizable to a person from another tribe. To the Westerner, tribalism is one of the most difficult of African customs to understand. It makes many people think of savagery, warfare, or old-fashioned customs.However, to most Africans, tribalism simply means very strong loyalty to one’s ethnic group. It is a force that can be both good and bad. By definition tribalism means sharing among members of the extended family. It makes sure that a person is taken care of by his own group tribesman. To give a job to a fellow is not wrong; it is an obligation. Similarly, for a politician or military leader, it is considered good common sense to choose his closest advisers from people of his own tribe. This ensures security, continuity, and authority. Tribal loyalty may mean a quick promotion—from sergeant to captain, from clerk to manager—within a very short time. Modern African politicians publicly speakout against tribal divisions. Yet it remains perhaps the most powerful force in day-to-day African life.31. In paragraph 1, why did the young man believe his job application will be refused?A. His behavior was not appropriate.B. He belonged to the same tribe with the manager.C. He didn’t belong to the same tribe with the manager.D. His questions annoyed the receptionist.32. The situation in the first paragraph is an example of_______.A. the difficulty of getting a job in AfricaB. the disagreement on tribalism among AfricansC. the great numbers of tribes in AfricaD. the importance of tribalism in Africa33. What might be the common attitudes of Westerners towards tribalism?A. positiveB. indifferentC. negativeD. none of the above34. According to the article, which of the following is NOT an evidence of tribalism?A. Sergeants maintain security in his own tribe.B.Politicians choose men from his own tribe as intimate advisers.C. Military leaders promote fellow tribesmen to higher positions.D. Managers give jobs to fellow tribesmen.35. What would be the future of tribalism?A. It will soon be destroyed by modern politicians.B. It will remain as strong as it is today and never be changed.C. It will gradually disappear as the society develops.D. It will speed up further division of tribes.

Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.Passage OneSYDNEY: As they sat sharing sweets beside a swimming pool in 1999, Shane Gould and Jessicah Schipper were simply getting along well, chatting about sport, life and "anything else that came up."Yet in Sydney next month, they will meet again by the pool, and for a short time the friends will race against each other in the 50-meter butterfly （蝶泳）in the Australian championships at Homebush Bay.Gould, now a 47-year-old mother of four, has announced she will be making a return to elite competition （顶级赛事）to swim the one event, having set a qualifying time of 30. 32 seconds in winning gold at last year's United States Masters championships. Her comeback comes 32 years after she won three golds at the Munich Olympics.Schipper, now a 17-year-old from Brisbane with a bright future of going to Athens for her first Olympics, yesterday recalled her time with Gould five years ago."I was at a national youth camp on the Gold Coast and Shane had come along to talk to us and watch us train," Schipper explained. "It seemed as if we had long been good friends. I don't know why. We just started talking and it went from there.""She had a lot to share with all of us at that camp. She told us stories about what it was like at big meets like the Olympics and what it was like to be on an Australian team. It was really interesting."Next time, things will be more serious. "I will still be swimming in the 50m butterfly at the nationals, so there is a chance that I could actually be competing against Shane Gould," said Schipper, who burst onto the scene at last year's national championships with second places in the 100m and 200m butterfly.16.What is the passage mainly about?A.Stories happening in swimming competitions.B.Two women swimmers winning Olympic golds.C.Lessons learned from international swimming championships.D.Friendship and competition between two swimmers.17.Gould and Schipper are going to —A. talk about sport and lifeB. go back to elite competitionC. set a qualifying time and win goldD. take part in the same sports event18.Gould won her three Olympic golds when she wasA. 15B. 17C. 22D. 3019.The underlined word "it" in the fifth paragraph probably refers toA. the OlympicsB. the youth campC. the friendshipD. the Australian team20.What Schipper said showed that she —A.was no longer Gould's friendB.had learned a lot from GouldC.was not interested in Gould's storiesD.would not like to compete against GouldPassage TwoThat cold January night, I was growing sick of my life in San Francisco. There I was, walking home at one in the morning after a tiring practice at the theatre. With the opening night only a week from now on, I was still learning my lines. I was having trouble dealing with my part-time job at the bank and my acting at night at the same time. As I walked, I thought seriously about giving up both acting and San Francisco. City life had become too much for me.As I walked down empty streets under tall buildings, I felt very small and cold. I began running, both to keep warm and to keep away from any possible robbers. Very few people were still out except a few sa&looking homeless people under blankets.About a block from my apartment, I heard a sound behind me. I turned quickly, half expecting to see someone with a knife or a gun. The street was empty. All I saw was a shining streetlight. Still, the noise had made me nervous, so I started to run faster. Not until I reached my apartment building and unlocked the door did I realize what the noise had been. It had been my wallet falling to the sidewalk.Suddenly I wasn't cold or tired anymore. I ran out of the door and back to where I'd heard the noise. Although I searched the sidewalk anxiously for fifteen minutes, my wallet was nowhere to be found.Just as I was about to give up the search, I heard the garbage truck pull upto the sidewalk next to me. When a voice called from the inside, "Alisa Camacho?" I thought I was dreaming. How could this man know my name? the door opened, and out jumped a small red-haired man with an amused look in his eye. "Is this what you're looking for?n he asked, holding up a small square shape.It was nearly 3 am by the time I got into bed. I wouldn't get much sleep that night, but I had gotten my wallet back. I also had gotten back some enjoyment of city life. I realized that the city couldn't be a bad place as long as people were willing to help each other.21.How did the writer feel when she was walking home after work?A. Cold and sick.B. Fortunate and helpful.C. Satisfied and cheerful.D. Disappointed and helpless.22.From the first paragraph, we learn that the writer was busy —A. solving her problem at the bankB. taking part in various city activitiesC. learning acting in an evening schoolD. preparing for the first night show23.On her way home the writer —A.lost her wallet unknowinglyB.was stopped by a garbage truck driverC.was robbed of her wallet by an armed manD.found some homeless people following her24.In the fifth paragraph, why did the writer say she was dreaming?A. Someone offered to take her back home.B. A red-haired man came to see her.C.She heard someone call her name.D.Her wallet was found in a garbage truck.25.From the text, we can infer that the writerA.would stop working at nightB. would stay on in San FranciscoC. would make friends with cleanersD. would give up her job at the bankPassage ThreeParents should stop blaming themselves because there's not a lot they can do about it. I mean the teenager problem. Whatever you do or however you choose to deal with it, at certain times a wonderful, reasonable and helpful child will turn into a terrible animal.I've seen friends deal with it in all kinds of different ways. One strict mother insisted that her son should stand up whenever anyone entered the room, open doors and shake hands like a gentleman. I saw him last week when I called round. Sprawling himself on the sofa in full length, he made no attempt to turn off the loud TV he was watching as I walked in, and his greeting was no more than a quick glance at me. His mother was ashamed. "I don't know what to do with him these days," she said. "He's forgotten all the manners we taught him."He hasn't forgotten them. He's just decided that he's not going to use them. She confessed that she would like to come up behind him and throw him down from the sofa onto the floor.Another good friend of mine let her two daughters climb all over the furniture, reach across the table, stare at me and say, "I don't like your dress; it's ugly." One of the daughters has recently been driven out of school. The other has left home."Where did we go wrong?" her parents are now very sad. Probably nowhere much. At least, no more than the rest of that unfortunate parents.26.This text is most probably written by —A. a specialist in teenager studiesB. a headmaster of a middle schoolC. a parent with teenage childrenD. a doctor for mental health problems27.The underlined word "it" in the second paragraph refers to —A.the change from good to bad that's seen in a childB.the way that parents often blame themselvesC.the opinion that a child has of his parentsD.the advice that parents want their children to follow28.The boy on the sofa would most probably be described asA. lazyB. quietC. unusualD. rude29.From the second example we can infer that the parents of the two daughters —A. pay no attention to themB. are too busy to look after themC. have come to hate themD. feel helpless to do much about them30.What is the author's opinion about the sudden change in teenage children?A.Parents have no choice but to try to accept it.B.Parents should pay still more attention to the change.C.Parents should work more closely with school teachers.D.Parents are at fault for the change in their children.Passage FourNow could we possibly think that keeping animals in cages in unnatural environments mostly for entertainment purposes—is fair and respectful?Zoo officials say they are concerned about animals. However, most zoos remain "collections" of interesting "things" rather than protective habitats. Zoos teach people that it is acceptable to keep animals bored, lonely, and far from their natural zones.Zoos claim to educate people and save endangered species, but visitors leave zoos without having learned anything meaningful about the animals* natural behavior, intelligence, or beauty. Zoos keep animals in small spaces or cages, and most signs only mention the species* names, diets, and natural ranges. The animals* normal behavior is seldom noticed because zoos don* t usually take care of the animals* natural needs.The animals are kept together in small spaces, with no privacy and little opportunity for mental andphysical exercise. This results in unusual and self-destructive behavior called zoochosis. A worldwide study of zoos found that zoochosis is common among animals kept in small spaces or cages. Another study showed that elephants spend 22 percent of their time making repeated head movements or biting cage bars, and bears spend 30 percent of their time walking back and forth, a sign of unhappiness and pain.Furthermore, most animals in zoos are not endangered. Captive breeding of endangered big cats, Asian elephants, and other species has not resulted in their being sent back to the wild. Zoos talk a lot about their captive breeding programs because they do not want people to worry about a species dying out. In fact, baby animals also attract a lot of paying customers. Haven't we seen enough competitions to name baby animals?Actually, we will save endangered species only if we save their habitats and put an end to the reasons people kill them. Instead of supporting zoos, we should support groups that work to protect animals* natural habitats.31.How would the author describe the animals* life in zoos?A. Dangerous.B. Unhappy.C. Natural.D. Easy.32.In the state of zoochosis, animalsA. remain in cagesB. behave strangelyC. attack other animalsD. enjoy moving around33.What does the author try to argue in the passage?A.Zoos are not worth the public support.B.Zoos fail in their attempt to save animals.C.Zoos should treat animals as human beings.D.Zoos use animals as a means of entertainment.34.The author tries to persuade readers to accept his argument mainly by —A.pointing out the faults in what zoos doing evidence he has collected at zoosC.questioning the way animals are protectedD.discussing the advantages of natural habitats35.Although he argues against zoos, the author would still agree that —A.zoos have to keep animals in small cagesB.most animals in zoos are endangered speciesC.some endangered animals are reproduced in zoosD.it's acceptable to keep animals away from their habitatsPart III Vocabulary and Structure (20 points)Directions: There are 40 incomplete sentences in this section.

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. Passage OneQuestions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage.In bringing up children, every parent watches eagerly the child’s acquisition (学会) of each new skill-the first spoken words, the first independent steps, or the beginning of reading and writing. It is often tempting to hurry the child beyond his natural learning rate, but this can set up dangerous feelings of failure and states of worry in the child: This might happen at any stage.A baby might be forced to use a toilet too early, a young child might be encouraged to learn to read before he knows the meaning of the words he reads. On the other hand, though, if a child is left alone too much, or without any learning opportunities, he loses his natural enthusiasm for life and his desire to find out new things for himself.Patents vary greatly in their degree of strictness towards their children. Some may be especially strict in money matters. Others are severe over times of coming home at night or punctuality for meals. In general, the controls imposed represent the needs of the parents and the values of the community as much as the child’s own happiness.As regards the development of moral standards in the growing child, consistency is very important in parental teaching. To forbid a thing one day and excuse it the next is no foundation for morality (道德). Also, parents should realize that “example is better than precept”. If they are not sincere and do not practise what they preach (说教), their children may grow confused, and emotionally insecure when they grow old enough to think for themselves, and realize they have been to some extent fooled.A sudden awareness of a marked difference between their parents’ principles and their morals can be a dangerous disappointment.11. Eagerly watching the child’s acquisition of new skills________.A) should be avoidedB) is universal among parentsC) sets up dangerous states of worry in the childD) will make him lose interest in learning new things12. In the proces s of children’s learning new skills parents ________.A) should encourage them to read before they know the meaning of the words they readB) should not expect too much of themC) should achieve a balance between pushing them too hard and leaving them on their ownD) should create as many learning opportunities as possible13. The second paragraph mainly tells us that ________.A) parents should be strict with their childrenB) parental controls reflect only the needs of the parents and the values of the communityC) parental restrictions vary, and are not always enforced for the benefit of the children aloneD) parents vary in their strictness towards their children according to the situation14. The word “precept” (Line 3, Para. 3) probably means “________”.A) idea B) punishmentC) behavior D) instruction15. In moral matters, parents should ________.A) observe the rules themselvesB) be aware of the marked difference between adults and childrenC) forbid things which have no foundation in moralityD) consistently ensure the security of their childrenPassage TwoQuestions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.These days we take for granted the wide variety of music available on the radio. But, this wasn’t always the case. In the early days of radio, stations were capable of broadcasting only a narrow range of sounds, which was all right for the human voice but music didn’t sound very good. There was also a great deal of crackling and other static noises that further interfered with the quality of the sound.A man named Edwin Armstrong, who was a music lover, set out to change this. He invented FM radio, a technology that allowed stations to send a broad range of frequencies that greatly improved the quality of the music.Now, you’d think that this would have made him a millionaire; it didn’t. Radio stations at that time had invested enormous amounts of money in the old technology. So the last thing they wanted was to invest millions more in the new technology. Nor did they want to have to compete with other radio stations that had a superior sound and could put them out of business. So they pressured the Federal Communications Commission —the department of the United States government that regulates radio stations — to put restrictive regulations on FM radio.The result was that its use was limited to a very small area around New England. Of course as we all know, Edwin Armstrong’s FM technology eventually prevailed and was adopted by thousands of stations round the world. But this took years of court battles and he never saw how itcame to affect the lives of almost everyone.16. What is the passage mainly about?A) The invention of musical recording equipment.B) The role of government in mass communications.C) The emergence of a new technology.D) The similarities between old and new radio stations.17. What was the main disadvantage of early radio broadcasting?A) It was very expensive.B) The sound quality was poor.C) It could only transmit a human voice.D) The signal was transmitted over a small area.18. What was the purpose of Edwin Armstrong by inventing FM radio?A) To make it possible for radio stations to broadcast a broad range of sounds.B) To make other radio stations spend a large sum of money on more research.C) To make himself world-famous and therefore earn more money.D) To make radio stations compete with one another.19. Why did the owners of radio stations react negatively to Armstrong’s invention?A) Its use was too strictly regulated. B) They thought it was unsafe.C) It threatened their business. D) It was of poor quality.20. What does the passage imply about Edwin Armstrong?A) He became a millionaire from his invention.B) He was an accomplished musician.C) He worked for the Federal Communications Commission.D) He died before FM became popular.Passage ThreeQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.Psychologist George Spilich and colleagues at Washington College in Chestertown, Maryland, decided to find out whether, as many smokers say, smoking helps the m to “think and concentrate. Spilich put young non-smokers, active smokers and smokers deprived (被剥夺) of cigarettes through a series of tests.In the first test, each subject (试验对象) sat before a computer screen and pressed a key as soon as he or she recognized a target letter among a grouping of 96. In this simple test, smokers, deprived smokers and non-smokers performed equally well.The next test was more complex, requiring all to scan sequences of 20 identical letters and respond the instant one of the letters transformed into a different one. Non-smokers were faster, but under the stimulation of nicotine (尼古丁), active smokers were faster than deprived smokers.In the third test of short-term memory, non-smokers made the fewest errors, but deprived smokers committed fewer errors than active smokers.The fourth test required people to read a passage, then answer questions about it. Non-smokers remembered 19 percent more of the most important information than active smokers, and deprived smokers bested those who had smoked a cigarette just before testing. Active smokers tended not only to have poorer memories but also had trouble separating important information from insignificant details.“As our tests became more complex,” s ums up Spilich, “non-smokers performed better than smokers by wider and wider margins” He predicts, “smokers might perform adequately at m any jobs-until they got complicated. A smokingairline pilot could fly adequately if no problems arose, but if something went wrong, smoking might damage his mental capacity.”21. The purpose of George Spilich’s experiments is ________.A) to test whether smoking has a positive effect on the mental capacity of smokersB) to show how smoking damages people’s mental capacityC) to prove that smoking affe cts people’s regular performanceD) to find out whether smoking helps people’s short-term memory22. George Spilich’s experiment was conducted in such a way as to ________.A) compel the subjects to separate major information from minor detailsB) put the subjects through increasingly complex testsC) check the effectiveness of nicotine on smokersD) register the prompt responses of the subjects23. The word “bested” (Line 3, Para. 5) most probably means ________.A) beat B) enviedC) caught up with D) made the best of24. Which of the following statements is true?A) Active smokers in general performed better than deprived smokers.B) Active smokers responded more quickly than the other subjects.C) Non-smokers were not better than other subjects in performing simple tasks.D) Deprived smokers gave the slowest responses to thevarious tasks.25. We can infer from the last paragraph that ________.A) smokers should not expect to become airline pilotsB) smoking in emergency cases causes mental illnessC) no airline pilots smoke during flightsD) smokers may prove unequal to handing emergency casesPassage FourQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.St. Patrick’s Day (March 17) is one of the most important holidays in Ireland. People will wear green shirts, ties, and hair ribbons. Some even dye their hair green because they believe that on that day the color brings them good luck.On St. Patrick’s Day, the Irish around the world traditionally attend church in the morning and have some celebrations in the afternoon. They dance, drink, parade, and feast. A traditional meal includes meat, cabbage and a special Irish beer called Guinness.St. Patrick’s Day is a religious holiday that can be traced back more than one thousand years ago, and it is related to a boy named St. Patrick who became an Irish saint when he grew up.He was born to a wealthy family in Wales around the year 385 AD. But when he was sixteen, a band of raiders（劫掠者）took him as a slave to what is now the neighboring island of Ireland.Patrick lived there for several years. He was so lonely and afraid that he took solace in religion and became a faithful Christian. Later, he returned to Ireland as a missionary, traveling from village to village and talking about his faith. He explained to people the Father, the Son (Jesus), and the Holy Spirit as each of the leaves of a shamrock. There were three leaves, yet theywere one plant. From then on, the shamrock, a small plant that grew wild around Ireland, has been a symbol of Ireland and becaus e of it, green is associated with St. Patrick’s Day.26. From the passage, we can infer that ______.A) Patrick lived in Ireland all his lifeB) Patrick’s family was very poorC) Patrick’s life in what is now the neighboring island of Ireland was hardD) P atrick didn’t believe in Christianity27.

学位英语模拟试题二

模拟试题二Part I Reading Comprehension(30%)Passage 1I was only eight years old when the Second World War ended, but I can still remember something about the victory celebrations in the small twon where I lived. (76)We had not suffered much from the war there, though like most children of my age, I was used to seeing bombed houses ini the streeets and the enormous army lorries passing through. But both at home and at school I had become accustomed to the phrases “before the war” and “when the war’s over”. “Before the war,” apparently, things had been better, though I was too young to understand why, except there had been no bombs then, and people had eaten things like ice cream and bananas, which I had only heard of. When the war was over, we would go back to London, but this meant very little to me. I did not remember what London was like.What I remember now about VE Day was the afternoon and the evening. It was a fine May day. I remember coming home at about five o’clock. My father and mother came in about an hour later. After dinner I said I wanted to see the bonfire(篝火), so when it got dark my father took me to the end of the street. The bonfire was very high, and some people had collected some old clothes to dress the unmistakable figure with the moustache(小胡子) they had put on top of it. Just as we arrived, they set light to it. The flames rose and soon covered the “guy”. Everyone was cheering and shouting, and an old woman came out of her house with two chairs and threw them on the fire to keep the fire going.I stood beside my father until the fire started to go down, not knowing what to say. He said nothing either. He had fought in the First World War and may have been remembering the end of that. At last he said, “Well, tha t’s it, son. Le t’s hope that this time it really will be the last one.”1.Where did the narrator live before the Second World War?___.A.In a small cityB.In LondonC.In EuropeD.In the countryside2.What kind of food had the narratro certainly not tasted during the war? ___.A.breadB.butterC.ice creamD.bones3.The unmistakable figure with the moustache most probably represents___.A.Someone who died in the First World WarB.Someone who had won the warC.an imaginary figureD.the most hated person in the war---Hitler4.The narrator’s father ___.A.had fought in the Second World WarB.may have suffered much during the previous warC.helped build a bonfire on VE DayD.added something to the fire to keep it going5.By saying “Let’s hope that this time it really will be the last one”, the father meant that ___.A.he hoped there would be no more wars in the worldB.he wished the Second World War had not happenedC.he hoped people would build more bonfiresD.he wished people would learn many lessons from the war(77)Heredity(遗传) is no the only thing that influences our color. Where we live and how we live after we are born are important too. For instance, our genes influence how fat or thin we are. But our weight depends mainly upon how much we eat and how much exercise we get. In the same way, our skin color depends to a large extent upon how much sunshine we get.When summer arrives and light-colored people go to the beaches, some will tan darkly, some will tan lightly and few will not tan at all. Each one has inherited a different ability to tan, but the differences do not appear until the conditions are right. An outdoor man will soon become pale if he changes to an indoor job, while a desk clerk will take on tan after a short vacation in the sun.Sometimes people decide that being tanned is better than being pale. Sometimes they decide the opposite.Centuries ago, most of the people in Europe were peasants and they had to work in the fields all day. Noblemen, on the other hand, did not have to work. They stayed indoors and remained pale. You could always tell a nobleman from a peasant because a peasant had a tan. As a result, a skin so pale that the veins(血管) were showed was considered a mark of great beauty.During the Industrial Revolution things changed. Farmers left their fields and went to work in factories, mines and mills. Working for long hours in dimly-lit factories and mines make their skins pale. (78)Wealthy people, however, could afford to travel to sunny countries. They had the leisure to lie around on the beaches and get tan. Having a tan became a sign of wealth.In Western Europe and North America pale skin is no longer desirable. Instead of bleaching themselves white with lemon juice, many women spend their time under a sunlamp. The desire for a quick tan has led to the invention of pills and lotions(涂剂) that darken the skin artificially without exposure to sunlight. These pills and lotions can be bought by anyone at any drugstore. A rich man can spend hundreds of dollars on a vacation in the sunny West Indies and get his suntan there. But his lowest-paid clerk can have what looks like the same tan out of a bottle for a few cents.6.Besides genes, our skin color has much to do with ___.A.exerciseB.weightC.foodD.sunshine7.When summer comes and the light-colored people go to the beaches, ___.A.all of them will tan darklyB.few of them will tan darklyC.many of them will not tan at allD.few of them will not tan at all8.Centuries ago in Europe, it was considered of great beauty to have ___.A.pale skinB.light-colored skinC.dark-colored skinD. a suntan9.During the Industrial Revolution people began to like to have a tan because it was a sign of ___.A.good healthB.great strengthC.wealthD.youth10.Pills and lotions have been invented in Western Europe and North America ___.A.To protect people from sunburnB.to make people look wealthyC.to smooth people’s skinD.to help people to have a quick tanFor well over 2000 years the world;s great religions have taught the virtues of a trusting heart. Now there is another reason to merit the wisdom of the ages: scientific evidence indicates that those with trusting hearts will live longer, healthier lives.As a result of the work published in the 1970s by two pioneering heart specialists, Meyer Friedman and Ray H. Rosenman, nearly every American is aware that blood Type A people are impatient, and easily move to hostility(敌意) and anger. (79)Many have come to believe that Type A’s are at much higher risk of suffering heart attack or dying of heart disease than others.The driving force behind hostility is a cynical mistrust of others. If we expect others to mistreat us, we are seldom disappointed. This generates anger and leads us to respond with hostility.(80)The most characteristic attitude of a cynic is being suspicious of the motives(动机) of people he doesn’t know. Imagine you are waiting for an elevator and it stops two floors above for longer than usual. How inconsiderate! You think. In a few seconds, you have drawn hostile conclusion about unseen people and their motives.Meanwhile, your cynical mistrust is leading to noticeable physical consequences. Your voice rises. The rate and depth of your breathing increases. Your heart is beating faster and harder, and the muscles of your arms and legs become tight. You feel “charged up”, ready for action.If you frequently experience these feelings, you may be at increased risk of developing serious health problems. Anger can add to the risk of heart and other diseases.11.

Each passage isfollowed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) andD). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on theAnswer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage 1Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:People landing at London’s Heathrow airport have something new to look at as they fly over Britain’s capital c ity. It is attractive, simple and a little strange. The Millennium Dome (千禧穹顶)is a huge semi-circle of plastic and steel and it contains the largest public space in the world. It has been built to house an exhibition of all that is best in British life, learning and leisure.The Millennium Dome was designed by Sir Richard Rogers, one of Britain’s most famous architects. His work points the way to new developments in building. Think of it as a giant symbol of the buildings in which we will all be living and working in the near future.Buildings are also a part of history. They express the culture of the times. Sir Richard Rogers is aware of this responsibility. While different designers have individual styles, their work also has a common style. That is: to express the values of the information age.What is an “information age” building? The Dome is a good example. After the Millennium exhibition ends, it will be used for another purpose. Just as people no longer have “jobs for life”, modern buildings are des igned for a number of different uses.Another Richard Roger’s building, the Pompidou Center inFrance, uses the idea that information is communication. Instead of being hidden in the walls, heating pipes and elevators are open to public view. The Pompidou Center is a very honest building. It tells you how it works.31. The Millennium Dome has been originally built to hold an exhibition _______ .A)of different building designsB)of everything that can draw the attention of peopleC)of the finest things in BritainD)of recent developments in information technology32. The sentence “His work points the way to new developments in building” (Line 2, Para 2) implies that the designer Sir Richard Rogers ________ .A)has developed a new set of building standardsB)strictly follows the tradition in his workC)is a pioneer architect of his ageD)is quite different from other architects33. Sir Richard Rogers clearly knows that it is his duty to ________ .A)create something out of a unique styleB)house those who will often change their jobsC)make his buildings historic onesD)construct a building that can express the culture of the modern age34. The Pompidou Center in France is outstanding in the fact that ________ .A)people in it are able to visit each other convenientlyB)visitors can see clearly the structure and facilities of the whole buildingC)it makes use of the best techniques invented in theinformation ageD)it was designed and built by an honest British designer35. The passage mainly tells us about ________ .A)the unique contribution of a famous architectB) a few developments in house-buildingC)the common features of British and French buildingsD)modern buildings of various stylesPassage 2Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:The Library of Congress is Americ a’s national library. It has millions of books and other objects. It has newspapers, popular publications and letters of historical interest. It also has maps, photographs, art prints, movies, sound recordings and musical instruments. Altogether, it has more than one-hundred-million objects.The Library of Congress is open to the public Monday through Saturday, except for government holidays. Anyone may go there and read anything in the collection. But no one is permitted to take books out of the building.The Library of Congress was established in 1800. It started with eleven boxes of books in one room of the Capitol building. By 1814, the collection had increased to about three-thousand books. They were all destroyed that year when the Capitol was burn ed during America’s war with Britain. To help re-build the library, Congress bought the books of President Thomas Jefferson. Mister Jefferson’s collection included seven-thousand books in seven languages. In 1897, the Library moved into its own building, across the street from the Capitol. Today, three buildings hold the library’s collection.The Library of Congress provides books and materials to theUnited States Congress. It also lends books to other American libraries, government agencies and foreign libraries. It buys some of its books and gets others as gifts. It also gets materials through its copyright office. Anyone who wants copyright protection for a publication in the United States must send two copies to the library. This means the Library of Congress receives almost everything that is published in the United States.36. According to the passage, what was the Library of Congress in the very beginning?A) A private library.B) A reading room in the Capitol building.C) A school library.D) A library with three buildings to hold its collection.37. When did America’s war with Britain probably break out?A) Around 1800. B) Around 1814.C) Around 1897. D) Around 1901.38. Which of the following statements about the Library of Congress is TRUE according to the passage?A) The Library of Congress has more than one-hundred-million books.B) Like other libraries, readers can borrow books out from the Library of Congress.C) The Library of Congress is open to the public only except for government holidays.D) The Library of Congress was once destroyed in a fire.39. According to the passage, the Library of Congress can get its materials in the following way EXCEPT ________ .A) by buying some of its booksB) by getting some books as gifts from othersC) through its copyright officeD) by borrowing books from other agencies40. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A) The History of the Library of Congress.B) The Function of the Library of Congress.C) An Introduction to the Library of Congress.D) The Significance of the Library of Congress.Passage 3Questions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage:We’ve all faced failure in our lives. No one goes through life unharmed. We can only hope that our failures will be mixed with our successes, and we will have had a life well lived.Still, while there are no guarantees that you never fail, there are ways in which you can turn the odds (机会) more in your favor. Specifically, success is most closely related to your reaction to your unavoidable failures. This is true not only for you personally, but also in your role as a business manager and leader.When an organization is trying something new, mistakes are unavoidable. It is up to the leader to create an environment where peopl e aren’t afraid to fail. Mistakes should be seen as a necessary part of the organizational process. Errors are simply a normal by-product of pursuing excellence.Obviously, some mistakes are easier to tolerate (容忍) than others. Action should be taken when an error is made, but, usually, it should be corrective action rather than blame. Mistakes present a unique opportunity to teach and develop your staff. Growth and success can’t come without risk taking, and progress doesn’t happen with out mistakes.As a leader, one of the ways I’ve approached errors is by judging whether the action taken was a “mistake of the heart” or a “mistake of the head”. A mistake of the heart is a situationwhere such an employee does something wrong on purpose and tries to get away with it. I tend to be very serious in such situations. A mistake of the head happens when an employee is working hard to do the right thing, but for some reason, it doesn’t turn out that way. I tend do be very lenient (宽容的) on these types of mistakes. In fact, I have even praised people for making a mistake because their intentions were so good.The goal for a leader isn’t to avoid all possible failures. It’s to avoid errors that can be easily predicted, as well as risks that aren’t wor th the possible costs. Good leaders are willing to take risks to improve their operations. If you never try anything new, you can’t possibly hope to improve. This is true for individuals, and it’s true for organizations.41. The passage is chiefly intended to give advice to ________ .A) business leaders B) the average manC) employees D) losers42. What is the author’s overall attitude toward failures?A)Failures naturally lead to successes.B)We can often predict failures and avoid them.C)We should try our best to avoid failures because they are very harmful.D)Failures may be unavoidable, but we can learn to benefit from them.43. According to the passage, it is essential that an organization leader should ________ .A)be strict with any mistakesB)put up with any mistakesC)pay no attention to the employee’s mistakesD)take a corrective attitude towards mistakes44.

While such bags 46 common today, before much longer, plastic bags might be no more.Plastic was first introduced in the 1860s. While it quickly gained 47 in the manufacture of many items, companies did not begin using plastic to produce shopping bags 48 the 1970s. These first bags were manufactured from polyethylene (聚乙烯), a type of plastic made from oil and natural gas. In the United States of America, plastic shopping bags became 49 used in 1982, when Kroger and Safeway grocery stores began to offer theircustomers plastic bags instead of 50 ones.Since 1982, plastic bags have been the bags of 51 among consumers. However, in recent years, many people have increasingly 52 to the use of plastic bags. The use of oil and natural gas to manufacture the bags reduces the 53 supplies of these raw materials. Polyethylene plastic bags also are usually only used once and then 54 of in the trash (垃圾). These bags take generations to begin to decompose (分解) and 55 harmful chemicals in the process.

北京地区成人本科学士学位英语统一考试模拟题二Part I Reading Comprehension (30%)Directions: There are three passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:A year after graduation, I was offered a position teaching a writing class. Teaching was a profession I had never seriously considered, though several of my stories had been published. I accepted the job without hesitation, as it would allow me to wear a tie and go by the name of Mr. Davis. My father went by the same name, and I liked to imagine people getting the two of us confused. “Wait a minute<” someone might say, “are you talking about Mr. Davis the retired man, or Mr. Davis the respectable scholar?”The position was offered at the last minute, and I was given two weeks to prepare, a period I spent searching for briefcase (公文包) and standing before my full-length mirror, repeating the words, “Hello, class. I’m Mr. Davis.” Sometimes I would give myself an aggressive voice. Sometimes I would sound experienced. But when the day eventually came, my nerveskicked in and the true Mr. Davis was there. I sounded not like a thoughtful professor, but rather a 12-year-old boy.I arrived in the classroom with paper cards designed in the shape of maple leaves. I had cut them myself out of orange construction paper. I saw nine students along a long table. I handed out the cards, and the students wrote down their names and fastened them to their breast pockets as I required.“All right then,” I said. “Okey, here we go.” Then I opened my briefcase and realized that I had never thought beyond this moment. I had been thinking that the students would be the first to talk, offering their thoughts and opinions on the events of the day. I had imagined that I would sit at the edge of the desk, overlooking a forests of hands. Every student would yell. “Calm down, you’ll all get your turn. One at a time, one at a time!”A terrible silence ruled the room, and seeing no other opinions, I inspected the students to pull out their notebooks and write a brief essay related to the theme of deep disappointment.1. The author took the job to teach writing because ______.A. he wanted to be expectedB. he had written some storiedC. he wanted to please his fatherD. he had dreamed of being a teacher2. What can we learn about the author from Paragraph 2?A. He would be aggressive in his first class.B. He was well-prepared for his first class.C. He got nervous upon the arrival of his first class.D. He waited long for the arrival of his first class.3. Before he started his class, the author asked the students to ______.A. write down their suggestions on the paper cardsB. cut maple leaves out of the construction paperC. cut some cards out of the construction paperD. write down their names on the paper cards4. What did the students do when the author started his class?A. They began to talk.B. They stayed silent.C. They raised their hands.D. They shouted to be heard.5. The author chose the composition topic probably because ______.A. he got disappointed with his first classB. he had prepared the topic before classC. he wanted to calm down the studentsD. he thought it was an easy topicPassage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:One evening in February , a student named Paula Ceely brought her car to a stop on a remote road in Wales. She got out to open a metal gate that blocked her path .That’s when she heard the whistle sounded by the driver of a train. Her Renault Clio was parked across a railway line. Seconds later, she watched the train drag her car almost a kilometre down the railway tracks.Ceely’s near miss made the news because she blamed it on he GPS (导航仪). She had never driven the route before. It was dark and raining heavily. Ceely was relying on her GPS, but it made no mention of the crossing. “I put my complete trust in the device and it led me right into the path of a speeding train,” she told the BBC.Who is to blame here? Rick Stevenson, who tells Ceely’s stor y in his book When Machines Fail Us, points the finger at the limitations of technology. We put our faith in digital devices, he says, but our digital helpers are too often not up to the job. They are filled with small problems. And it’s not just GPS devic es: Stevenson takes us on a tour of digital disasters involving everything from mobile phones to wireless keyboards.The problem with his argument in the book is that it’s not clear why he only focuses on digital technology, while there may be a number of other possible causes. A map-maker might have left the crossing off a paper map. Maybe we should blame Ceely for not paying attention. Perhaps the railway authorities are at fault for poor singalling system. Or maybe someone hasstudied the relative dangers and worked out that there really is something specific wrong with the GPS equipment. But Stevenson doesn’t say.It’s a problem that runs through the book. In a section on cars, Stevenson gives an account of the advanced techniques that criminals use to defeat computer-based locking systems for cars. He offers two independent sets of figures on car theft; both show a small rise in some parts of the country. He says that once again not all new locks have proved reliable. Perhaps, but maybe it’s also due to the shortage of policemen on the streets. Or changing social circumstances. Or some combination of these factors.The game between humans and their smart devices is amusing and complex. It is shaped by economics and psychology and the cultures we live in. Somewhere in the mix of those forces there may be a way for a wiser use of technology.If there is such a way, it should involve more than just an awareness of the shortcomings of our machines. After all, we have lived with them for thousands of years. They have probably been fooling us for just as long.6.What did Paula Ceely think was the cause of her accident？A. She was not familiar with the road.B. It was dark and raining heavily then.C. The railway workers failed to give the signal.D. Her GPS dev ice didn’t tell her about the crossing.7.The phrase “near miss” (Paragraph 2) can best be replaced by______.A. close hitB. heavy lossC. narrow escapeD. big mistake8. Which of the following would Rick Stevenson most probably agree with?A. Modern t echnology is what we can’t live without.B. Digital technology often falls short of our expectation.C. Digital devices are more reliable than they used to be.D. GPS error is not the only cause for Ceely’s accident.9. In the writer’s opinion, Stevenson’s argument is _______.A. one-sidedB. reasonableC. puzzlingD. well-based10. What is the real concern of the writer of this article?A. The major causes of traffic accidents and car thefts.B. The relationship between human and technology.C. The shortcomings of digital devices we use.D. The human unawareness of technical problems.第三答案Passage 3Questions 11 to 15 are based onthe following passage:In the more and more competitive service industry, it is no longer enough to promise customer satisfaction. Today, customer “delight” is what companies are trying to achieve in order to keep and increase market share.It is accepted in the marketing industry, and confirmed by a number ofresearchers, that customers receiving good service will promote business by telling up to 12 other people; those treated badly tell tales of woe to up to 20 people. Interestingly, 80 percent of people who feel their complaints are handled fairly will stay loyal.New challenges for customer care have come when people can obtain goods and services through telephone call centers and the Internet. For example, many companies now have to invest (投资) a lot of money in information technology and staff training in order to cope with the “phone rage”---- caused by delays in answering calls, being cut off inmid-conversation or left waiting for long periods.“Many people do not like talking to machines,” says Dr, Storey, Senior Lecturer in Marketing at City University Business School. “Banks, for example, encourage staff at call centers to use customer data to establish instant and good relationship with then. The aim is to make the customer feel they know you and that you can trust them – the sort of comfortable feelings people have during face-to-face chats with their local branch manager.”Recommended ways of creating customer delight include:under-promising and over-delivering (saying that a repair will be carried out within five hours, but getting it done within two) replacing a faulty product immediately; throwing in a gift voucher (购物礼券)as an unexpected “thank you” to regular customers; and always returning calls, even whenthey are complaints.Aiming for customer delight is all very well, but if services do not reach the high level promised, disappointment or worse will be the result. This can be eased by offering an apology and an explanation of why the service did not meet usual standards with empathy(for example, “I know how you must feel”), and possible solutions (replacement, compensation or whatever fairness suggests best meets the case).Airlines face some of the toughest challenges over customer care. Fierce competition has convinced them at that delighting passengers is an important marketing tool, while there is great potential for customer anger over delays caused by weather, unclaimed luggage and technical problems.For British Airways staff, a winning telephone style is considered vital in handling the large volume of calls about bookings and flight times. They are trained to answer quickly, with their names, job title and a “we are here to help” attitude. The company has invested heavily in information technology to make sure that information is available instantly on screen.British Airways also says its customer care policies are applied within the company and staff are taught to regard each other as customers requiring the highest standards of service.Customer care is obviously here to stay and it would be a foolish company that used slogans such as “we do as we please”. On the other hand, the more customers are promised, the greater the risk ofdisappointment.11. We can learn from Paragraph 2 that _______.A. complaining customers are hard to satisfyB. unsatisfied customers receive better serviceC .satisfied customers catch more attentionD. well-treated customers promote business12. The writer mentions “phone rage”(Paragraph 3)to show that________.A. customers often use phones to express their angerB. people still prefer to buy goods onlineC. customer care becomes more demandingD. customers rely on their phones to obtain services13. What does the writer recommend to create customer delight?A. Calling customers regular.B. Gibing a “thank you “note..C. Delivering a quicker service.D. Promising more gifts.14. If a manager should show his empathy (Paragraph 6), what would be probably say?A. “I know how upset you must be.”B. “I appreciate your understanding.”C. “I’m sorry for the delay.”D. “I know it’s our fault.”15. Customer delight is important for airlines because ________.A. their telephone style remains unchangedB. they are more likely to meet with complaintsC. the services cost them a lot of moneyD. the policies can be applied to their staffPart ⅡVocabulary and Structure (30%)Directions: In this part there are 30 incomplete sentences.
