One Friday afternoon he was riding along the track towards the Henderson farm. He was looking for a prize bull which had escaped from the Borrogee paddock. He reached the hills and saw at once that he could not go further.There had been a fire in the forest which had gone out. But the air was still full of smoke and fallen trees had blocked the track. Jack was just going to turn back when he saw something moving in the smoke. He waited. It was a girl on a horse, and she was riding towards him. “There’s a badly burnt man on the farm,”the girl shouted.“He saved my life. Please help me to save him.”The girl was Cathy Henderson. She had been on horseback for two hours. She had to jump over fallen trees that were still burning. Her pony had fallen with her twice. She was thirsty andalmost dead from want of sleep. But she rode back to the farm with Jack immediately.Joe Brook was unconscious when they reached him. They lifted him onto Jack’s horse. The ride back to Borrogee was terrible. Cathy was so tired that Jack had to tie her to her pony. The pony was tired too, but its courage was astonishing. It followed Jack right to Borrogee Hospital. Nobody saw them arrive because it was night.“I’ve never seen a horse like that pony,”Jack said. Cathy praised Jack Billabong, but she refused to say anything about the pony,“Joe will write about her in his story,”she said.But she did say one thing: “If Flame hadn’t returned to the farm that afternoon, Joe and I would have died.”11.Jack Billabong did not turn back because _________.[A]he hadn’t found the bull yet[B]he smelt a heavy smoke in the forest[C]he knew there was a burnt man there[D]he saw something moving towards him12.Why was the ride back to Borrogee terrible?[E]Because Joe was tired out.[F]Because the ride started late at night.[G]Because they didn’t have enough courage.[H]Because both Cathy and her pony were exhausted.13.Cathy refused to talk to reporters about the pony when she was in Borrogee Hospital because _________.[I]she didn’t know what to say[J]Jack asked her not to talk to them[K]she was too weak to say anything[L]Joe would write about it in his writing14.What does the word“Flame”in the last paragraph refer to?[A]Jack. [B] The pony. [C] Jack’s horse. [D] The fire.15.Which of the following is the best title of the story?[M]Rescue of Joe Brook[N]Courage of Jack Billabong[O]Love of a Young Girl[P]Heroism of a Lovely PonyPassage TwoThe faces of elderly, happily-married people sometimes resemble each other. Dr. Aiken studied a number of couples who had been married for at least twenty-five years. Each couple provided four photographs —one photo of each partner at the time of their marriage and another photo of each partner twenty-five or more years later. All background was cut from the photos to remove any clues. The photos were then displayed in groups: a random grouping of the persons at the time of their marriage and another random grouping of the same persons who took photographs later. Some testees were asked to pick out the partners. They failed totally with the first group. Their judgments were no better than chance. But with the photos taken twenty-five or more years after the marriage, the testees were quite successful with the most happily-married couples.Dr. Aiken believes there are several reasons why couples grow alike. One reason has something to do with imitation. One person tends to copy or do the same as someone else without knowing it. He says human begins to imitate the expressions of the faces of their loved ones. “Another possible reason,”he says,“is the common experience of the couples.”There is a tendency for people who have the same life experience to change their faces in similar ways. For example, if a couple have suffered from a lot of sad experiences, their faces are likely to change in a similar way.16.Dr. Aiken cut the background from the photos for the purpose of _________.[A]imitating the couples’ life[B]grouping the couples again[C]leaving no trace for the testees[D]giving the testees more chances17.The underlined sentence “Their judgments were no better than chance.”implies that the testees _________.[A]did a good job in making their choices[B]had difficulty in picking out the partners[C]had no chance to make the right judgments[D]did better with the first group than with the second18.The underlined word“imitate”(in Para. 2) has a similar meaning to _________.[A]copy [B] change [C] know [D] suffer19.From the passage we can draw the conclusion that _________.[A]couples who look alike can live longer[B]most partners have been proved to grow alike[C]the influence between partners can be quite strong[D]happily-married couples are often richer than others20.The main purpose of the passage is to _________.[A]explain why couples grow alike[B]tell how couples like each other[C]discuss the function of marriage[D]describe the life of happily married couplesPassage ThreeThe three biggest lies in America are: (1)“The check is in the mail”,(2)“Of course I’ll respect you in the morning”,and (3)“It was a computer error”.Of these three little white lies, the worst is the third. It’s the only one that can never be true. Today, if a bank statement cheats you out of $ 900 that way, you know what the clerk is sure to say,”It was a computer error.”Nonsense. The computer is reporting nothing more than what the clerk typed into it.The most annoying case of all is when the computerized cashier in the grocery store shows that an item costs more than it actually does. If the innocent buyer points out the mistake, the checker, bagger, and manager all come together and offer the familiar explanation:“It was a compute error.”It wasn’t, of course that computerized cashier is really nothing more than an electric event. The eye reads the Universal Product Code —chat bar of black and white lines in a corner of the package —and then checks the code against a price list stored in memory. If the price list is right, you’ll be charged accurately.Grocery stores update the price list each day —that is, somebody sits at a keyboard and types in the prices. If the price they type in is too high, there are only two explanations: carelessness or dishonesty. But somehow“a computer error”is supposed to excuse everything.One reason we let people hide behind a computer is the common misperception that huge,modern computers are electric brain with“artificial intelligence”.At some point there might be a machine with intelligence but none exists today. The smartest computer on Earth right now is no more intelligent than your average pen. At this point in the development of computers, the only thing any machine can do is what a human has instructed it to do.21.Of the three lies, the one about computer is the worst because the computer itself_________.[A]says nonsense[B]cheats customers[C]cannot make the error[D]does not admit its error22.According to the author, a computerized cashier is really just _________.[A]a machine to count money[B]a machine to receive money[C]an instrument to print codes[D]an instrument to read codes23.Grocery store price lists are updated by _________.[A]a computer[B]a keyboard[C]an employee[D]an electric brain24.The last paragraph of the passage implies that computers _________.[A]are very clever[B]never make mistakes[C]have a good memory[D]are controlled by men25.Which of the following describes the main idea of the passage?[A]Computers are stupid and inefficient.[B]Computer errors are due to its dishonesty.[C]Computers help stores update the price list.[D]Computer errors are actually human errors.Passage FourI came across an old country guidebook the other day. It listed all the tradesmen in each village, and it was impressive to see the past variety of services which were available on one’s own doorstep in the late Victorian countryside.Nowadays a traveler in rural England might conclude that the only village tradesmen still flourishing were either selling frozen food to the villagers or selling antiques to visitors. Nevertheless, this would really be a false impression. On the surface, there has been a decline of village commerce, but its power is still remarkable.Our local grocer’s shop, for example, is actually expanding in spite of the competition from supermarkets in the nearest town. Women sensibly prefer to go there and exchange the local news while doing their shopping, instead of queuing up at a supermarket. And the grocer knows well that personal service has a considerable cash value.His prices may be a bit higher than those in the town, but he will deliver anything at any time.His assistants think nothing of bicycling down the village street in their lunch hour to take a piece of cheese to an old retired woman who sent her order by word of mouth with a friend who happened to be passing. The richer customers telephone their shopping lists and the goods are on their doorsteps within an hour. They have only to hint at a fancy for some commodity outside the usual stock and the grocer, a red faced-figure, instantly obtains it for them.26.Nowadays the commercial services in the village are _________.[A]still very active[B]quickly declining[C]unable to flourish[D]personal to visitors27.The local grocer’s shop is expanding because _________.[A]the competition there is weak[B]it is a place for women to chat[C]it provides good personal service[D]the goods there are more valuable28.Which of the following is true about the supermarkets?[A]Prices there are much higher.[B]Customers often have to queue up.[C]Customers can order by telephone.[D]Their personal services are satisfactory.29.How do the village grocer’s assistants feel about giving extra service?[A]They don’t think it a trouble.[B]They don’t think it worthwhile.[C]They don’t consider it a good deal.[D]They don’t consider it a pleasant experience.30.One special feature of the village shop is that _________.[A]there is a very wide range of goods available[B]customers can order goods by word of mouth[C]customers have to order goods one hour earlier[D]there is a list of goods to be delivered to doorstepsPart Ⅲ Vocabulary and Structure （20minutes 20points）Directions：There are 20 incomplete sentences in this part.

Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single bar through the Centre of the letter that indicates your choice.Passage 1In order to learn a foreign language well, it is necessary to overcome the fear of making mistakes. If the primary goal of language use is communication, the mistakes are secondary consideration that may be dealt with gradually as awareness of those mistakes increases. On the other hand, students should not ignore their mistakes. The language learner may observe how native speakers express themselves, and how native expressions differ from the way the learner might say them. For example, a Spanish speaker who has been saying “I do it” to express willingness to do something in the immediate future, could, by interacting with native speakers of English, observethat native speakers actually say “I‘ll do it”. The resulting discrepancy差异can serve as a basis for the student to modify his way of using the present tense in English. But a student who is unwilling to interact in the first place would lose this opportunity to learn by trial and error.11. According to the passage, foreign language students should not worry too much about making mistakes because______.A. native speakers will ignore their mistakesB. communication is the primary goal of language learningC. native speakers like foreign students who try to learn their languageD. everyone makes mistakes when trying to communicate in a strange language12. The passage indicates that the present tense in English is ________.A. basically the same in English as it is in SpanishB. not the most difficult problem for foreign studentsC. not used to express a desire to do something in the immediate futureD. used with some verbs but not with others to express future intention13. The author thinks that language learners can reduce the number of their mistakes by ______A. asking native speakers for explanationsB. reading good books in the foreign languageC. speaking without regard to native speakersD. comparing their speech with that of native speakers14. The passage implies that foreign students who do not interact with native speakers will not __.A. have to worry about making mistakesB. learn very much about the foreign cultureC. learn about the history of the foreign languageD. take advantage of available language models15. The author’s major conclusion about the function of mistakes in foreign language learning is that ______.A. mistakes do not interfere with communicationB. learners are often very afraid of making mistakesC. mistakes are not important in the process of learning a languageD. making mistakes can help the learner discover the rules of the language Passage 2Death Valley is one of the most famous deserts in the United States, covering a wide area with its alkali sand. Almost 20 percent of this area is well below sea level, and Badwater, a salt water pool, is about 280 feet below sea level and the lowest point in the United States.Long ago the Panamint Indians called this place "Tomesha" the land of fire. Death Valley’s pres ent name dates back to 1849, when a group of miners coming across from Nevada became lost in its unpleasantness and hugeness, and their adventure turned out to be a sad story. Today Death Valley has been declared a NationalMonument and is crossed by several well-marked roads where good services can be found easily. Luckily the change created by human settlement has hardly ruined the special beauty of this place.Here nature created a lot of surprising, almost like the sights on the moon, ever-changing as the frequent wind moves the sand about, showing the most unusual colors. One of the most astonishing and variable parts of Death Valley is the Devil' s Golf Course, where it seems hard for one to tell reality from terrible dreams. Sand sculptures stand on a frightening ground, as evenings shadows move and lengthen.16. ____ is the lowest place in the desert.A. TomeshaB. Death ValleyC. NevadaD. Badwater17. The name of the valley comes from ___.A. an Indian nameB. the death of the minersC. the local peopleD. a National Monument18. From the passage we can learn that _______.A. no one had ever known the desert before the minersB. it’s still not easy to travel across the desertC. people can find gas-stations, cafes and hotels in the desertD. people have changed the natural sight of the desert19. Devil’s Golf Course is famous for _______.A. the frequent windB. the colors of the sandC. dream-like sightsD. the sand sculptures20. From the passage we can see that the writer______ the Death Valley.A. appreciatesB. is fearful ofC. dislikesD. is tired ofPassage 3In Western culture, an engagement begins with "yes" to a simple question: "Will you marry me?" These heart-stopping words often come with a beautiful diamond ring. The man making the proposal may get down on one knee. In fact, men have relied on this simple, romantic method of proposing marriage for years.Today, this is no longer true for everyone. Consider how Justin Firestone proposed to Natalie Abreu. The couple took a helicopter tour over the black sands of Honomanu Bay, Hawaii. Suddenly Abreu saw "Will you marry me, Natalie?" spelled out below with coconuts. Her answer was an astonished "Yes!”Firestone’s proposal took weeks of planning and help from a professional. But for men like him, the effort put into the proposal was worth it. Many guys want to show how serious they are about marriage through an impressive proposal. Some even want to give their future brides something to brag about.Public proposals -at sports games, concerts and other events- are common. But some men don‘t settle for their proposal scrolling across a big screen before thousands. Millions saw Joe Uva’s proposal on a reality TV show. His girlfriend, Laura O'Donnell, walked into an office and saw friends and family holding flowers. With the cameras rolling, Uva walked out from among them to propose. O'Donnell said yes, to the relief of Uva and his audience.Other men have chosen proposals that reflect the couple’s u nique relationship. Such proposals take place at a favorite restaurant or involve a shared hobby.

It sounds obvious, but until recently, we didn’t know much about how listening works. New research demonstrates that effective listening involves more than simply hearing the words that float past our ears. Rather, it’s an active process of receiving information and making meaning. This kind of engaged listening is a skill that’s as critical for learning a range of subjects at school and work as it is for learning to understand a foreign tongue.Studies of skilled language learners have identified specific listening strategiesthat lead to superior comprehension. Last year, for example, University of Ottawa researcher Larry Vandergrift published his study of 106 undergraduates who were learning French as a second language. Half of the students were taught in a conventional fashion, listening to and practicing texts spoken aloud. The other half, possessing the same initial skill level andtaught by the same teacher, were give detailed instruction on how to listen. It turned out that the second group "significantly outperformed" the first one on a test of comprehension.So what are these listening strategies? Skilled learners go into a listening class with a sense of what they want to get of it. They set a goal for their listening, and they generate predictions about what the speaker will say. Before the talking begins they mentally review what they already know about the subject, and form an intention to "listen out for" what’s important or relevant. Once they begin listening, these learners maintain their focus; if their attention wanders, they bring it back to the words being spoken. They don't allow themselves to be thrown off by confusing or unfamiliar details. Instead, they take note of what they don' t understand and make inferences about what those thing might mean, based on other clues available to them; their previous knowledge of the subject, the context of the talk, the identity of the speaker, and so on.26. What is the main idea of this passage?A. Effective listening means hearing the words that float past our ears.B. Developing your listening skills is the first step toward developing fluency.C. Skilled listeners use specific strategies to get the most out of what they hear.D. Listening is one of the most powerful tools we have to gain information.27. What does Vandergrift’s research show?A. Learners who adopt specific listening strategies become better listeners.B. Learners taught in the traditional way are better at reinforcing what they learn.C. Learners are more confident if they make fewer mistakes.D. Learners who listen on a regular basis improve faster.28. Which of the following statements about Vandergrift' s research is TRUE?A. The participants were postgraduates learning French as a second language.B. All the participants were taught using the conventional method, with the focus on listening strategies.C. The two groups were taught by different teacher.D. The participants were at the same initial skill level.29. The expression "thrown off" in the third paragraph is closest in meaning to "_____".A. infectedB. confusedC. ruinedD. informed30. According to the passage, which of the following strategies is NOT used by skilled learners?A. Review their prior knowledge of the subje ct.B. Concentrate on the speaker’swords.C. Translate into their native language.D. Predict what the speaker will way.Part Ⅲ Vocabulary and Structure (20 points)Directions: There are 20 incomplete sentences in this section.

Today, Chinese people would like to combine Western specialties with traditional Chinese dishes. Therefore, it is not rare to see steak being served as well.

"My grandmothers didn,t do anything but keep house and serve everybody.ey Th were programmed to do that," said Emily Cornette, head of a chapter of the7-year-old Red Hat Society. While men have long spent their time fishing and playing golf, women have sometimes seemed to become unnoticed as they age. But the generation now turning 50 is the baby boomers 生育高峰期出生的人），and the same people who refused their parents, way of being young are now trying a new way of growing old. If you take into consideration feminism 女权主义），a bit of spare money, and better health for most elderly, the Red Hat Society looks almost inevitable必燃的）.In this society, women over 50 wear red hats and purple 紫色的）clothes, while the women under 50 wear pink hats and light purple clothing. "The organization took the idea from a poem by Jenny Joseph that begins: ,When I am an old woman, I shall wear purple. With a red hat which doesn,t go,'" said Ellen Cooper, who founded the RedHat Society in 1998. When the ladies started to wear the red hats, they attracted lots of attention. "The point of this is that we need a rest from always doing something for someone else," Cooper said. "Women feel so ashamed and sorry when they do something for themselves."

The crime begins with a telephone message to the owner of a stolen car. if you want the car back, pay up then. The car owner is directed to a park, told where to find a bird cage and how to attach money to the neck of the pigeon inside. Carrying the money in a tiny bag, the pigeon flies off. There have been at least four such pigeon pick-ups in Changwa.What at first seemed like the work of a clever stay at-home car thief, however, may in fact be the work of an even lazier and more inventive criminal mind one that avoids （避免）not only collecting money but going out to steal the car in the first place. Police officer Chen says that the criminal probably has played a double trick, he gets money for things he cannot possibly return. Instead of stealing cars, he lets someone else do it and then waits for the car-owner to place an ac启（示）in the newspaper asking for help. The theory is supported bythe fact that, so far, none of the stolen cars have been returned. Also, the amount of money demanded -under 3,000 Taiwanese dollars-seems too little for a car worth many times more. Demands for pigeon-delivered money stopped as soon as the press reported the story. And even if they start again, Chen holds little hope of catching the criminal. "We have more important things to do,“ he said. 1小题〉After the car owner received a phone call, he.A went to a certain pigeon and put some money in the bag it carriedB gave the money to the thief and had his car back in a parkC sent some money to the thief by mailD told the press about it答案解析：2小题〉The "lazier and more inventive" criminal refers to.A the car thief who stays at homeB one of those who put the ads in the paperC one of the policemen in ChangwaD the owner of the pigeons答案解析：3小题〉The writer mentions the fact that "none of the stolen cars have been returned" to show.A how easily people get fooled by criminalsB what Chen thinks might be correctC the thief is extremely cleverD the money paid is too little答案解析：4小题〉The underlined word "they" in the last paragraph refers to.A criminalsB pigeonsC the stolen carsD demands for money答案解析：5小题〉We may infer from the text that the criminal knows how to reach the car owners becauseA he reads the ads in the newspaperB he lives in the same neighborhoodC he has seen the car owners in the parkD he has trained the pigeons to follow them答案解析：第20 题：Reading Comprehension:Last August, Joe and Mary Mahoney began looking at colleges for their 17-year-old daughter, Maureen. With a checklist of criteria in hand, the Dallas family lookedaround the country visiting half a dozen schools. They sought a university that offered the teenager,s intended major, one located near a large city, and a campus where their daughter would be safe. "The safety issue is a big one,“ says Joe Mahoney, who quickly discovered he wasn,t alone in his worries. On campus tours other parents voiced similar concerns, and the same question was always asked, what about crime?But when college officials always gave the same answer—"That,s not a problem here," Mahoney began to feel uneasy. "No crime whatsoever?" comments Mahoney today."I just don,t buy it." Nor should he. in 1999 the U.S. Department of Educatiohad reports of nearly 400,000 serious crimes on or around our campuses. "Parentts need to understand that times have changed since they went to college," says David Nichols, author of Creating a Safe Campus. "Campus crime mirrors the rest of the nation." But getting accurate information isn,t easy. Colleges must report crim statistics by law, but some hold back for fear of bad publicity, leaving the honest ones looking dangerous. "The truth may not always be obvious," warns S. Daniel Carter of Security on Campus, Inc., the nation,s leading campus safety watchdog group. To help concerned parents, Carter promised to visit campuses and talk to experts around the country to find out major crime issues and effective solutions.1小题〉The Mahoneys visited quite a few colleges last August.A to express the opinions of many parentsB to choose a right one for their daughterC to check the cost of college educationD to find a right one near a large city答案解析：2小题〉It is often difficult to get correct information on campus crime because some collegesA receive too many visitorsB mirror the rest of the nationC hide the truth of campus crimeD have too many watchdog groups答案解析:3小题〉The underlined word "buy" in the third paragraph re, cansA mindB admitC believeD expect答案解析：4小题〉We learn from the text that "the honest ones" in the fourth paragraph most probably refers to collegesA that are protected by campus securityB that report campus crime by lawC that are free from campus crimeD that enjoy very good publicity答案解析:5小题〉What is the text mainly about?A Exact campus crime statistics.B Crimes on or around campuses.C Effective solutions to campus crime.D Concerns about kids'campus safety. 答案解析：第21 题：Reading Comprehension:The house was quiet at 5 am and Tim,s mother was asleep. Only the sound of the big freezer broke the quiet. He,d dreamt of the cave last night. The purring of the freezer had been the sea. Tim pulled on a sweater and put some apples intohis schoolbag. It was too early for breakfast. He,d eat after he,d been through the cave, sitting on the rocks and staring at the seaHe wished he had a proper pack. His schoolbag would have to do. What else? Sandwiches-but his mother might wake up if he started pulling out bread for sandwiches, she,d want to know why hehad to leave so early. He settled for somebiscuits, and left a note stuck to the table: Gone to Michael,s. Back tonight.Tim. The sky was high and soft and light outside, though the sun still wasn,tp. uEven the highway up the hill was quiet as he made his way down the street. The wind from the sea was fresh and sweet. The sandhills still breathed heat from yesterday's sun, though the top of the sand was cool. He ran down to the beach impatiently, but there was no one, just dry sand dancing in the early wind and seabirds marching up and down watching the waves. The light changed suddenly. The first rays of sunlight stretched across the sea. The sun was pushing its way over the edge of the world. Over the first rocks, along to the point, Tim glanced back. The beac was still empty. The sun sailed higher in the sky. He could see the cave now, even darker in the morning light. The sand turned silver then dark gold as the water flowed away from it. He had to force himself to go closer. Why was it so much more mysterious now? But it would be silly to go back now after so much trouble. He needn't go in all the way.1小题〉What did Tim do at the beginning of the story?A He left the house quietly.B He had breakfast at home.C He left a note on the freezer.D He put a sweater in his schoolbag. 答案解析：2小题〉“He settled for some biscuits ” (in Paragraph 3) means that Tim A had to leave the biscuits on the tableB liked biscuits better than sandwichesC had to take biscuits instead of sandwichesD could only find some biscuits in the kitchen 答案解析：3小题〉What made it possible for Tim to see the entry to the cave?A The height of the first rocks.B The ups and downs of the waves.C The change in the position of the sun.D The vast stretch of the sunlit beach.答案解析：4小题〉Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the story?A The sea looked like a piece of gold.B Seabirds flew away when Tim arrived.C Tim was the only person on the beach.D The sky got dark as Tim reached the cave.答案解析：5小题〉In the story, Tim's mood （心情）changed from.A loneliness to crazinessB anxiousness to excitementC helplessness to happinessD eagerness to nervousness答案解析：第22题：单项选择题：Without electricity, what?A will the world be likeB would the world be likeC the world will be likeD the world be like答案解析：第23题：单项选择题：The great damage which the flood made a great many people homeless.A brought toB brought aboutC brought upD brought out答案解析：第24题：单项选择题：We always keep spare paper, in case we run out.A too muchB a number ofC plenty ofD a good many答案解析：第25题：单项选择题：Hard work has the waste hill into green field.B turnedC becomeD got答案解析：第26题：单项选择题：catching the fever himself the man kindly carried the sick child home.A A head ofB At the sightC At the risk ofD By way of答案解析：第27题：单项选择题：The road sign is easy to read; the words well.A make outB stand outC work outD turn out答案解析：第28题：单项选择题：I'm very grateful for your help and hope that someday I may be able to do some thing for youA in exchangeB insteadC in returnD in particular答案解析：第29题：单项选择题：How can he without money for food during the journey?A get togetherB get alongC get back答案解析：第30题：单项选择题：I think Father would like to know I've been up to so far, so I decide to send him a quick noteA whichB whyC whatD how答案解析：第31题：单项选择题：Sports and games can be great help to us.A ofB atC onD in答案解析：第32题：单项选择题：After her time in hospital, Jenny's parents are afraid she has in her lessons.A fallen behindB fallen downC fallen backD fallen off答案解析：第33题：单项选择题：He an old friend in the street the other dayA came aboutB came acrossC came fromD came into答案解析：第34题：单项选择题：Every year a lot of life species die.A outB awayC ofD from答案解析: 第35题：单项选择题:We're trying to ring you back, Bryan, but we think we your number incorrectlyA looked upB took downC worked outD brought about答案解析: 第36题：单项选择题:Kate can't drive yet, but she wantsA the own carB the car of her ownC an own carD a car of her own答案解析:第37题：单项选择题：I thought it was going to rain but it has fine.A turned outB come outC brought outD put up with答案解析：第38题：单项选择题：She made a few mistakes playing the violin, but you should make for her since she's only been playing for a year.A allowancesB promisesC roomD way答案解析：第39题：单项选择题：How happy they are!

学士学位英语考试试题与答案_详解
试题..十一..Part I Reading Comprehension (30%)Directions: There are four 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.Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:Many a young person tells me he wants to be a writer.(76) I always encourage such people, but Ialso explain that there‗s a big difference between ―being a writer‗ and writing. In most cases these individuals are dreaming of wealth and fame, not the long hour alone at a typewriter. ―You‗ve got to want to write,‖ I say to them, ―not want to be a writer‖.The reality is that writing is a lonely, private and poor-paying affair. For every writer kissed byfortune there are thousands more whose longing is never rewarded. When I left a 20-year career in the U.S. Coast Guard to become a freelance(自由栏目)writer, I had no prospects at all. What I did have was a friend who found me my room in a New York apartment building. It didn‗t even matter that itwas cold and had no bathroom. I immediately bought a used manual typewriter and felt like a genuine writer.After a year or so, however, I still hadn‗t gotten a break and began to doubt myself. It was sohard to sell a story that I barely made enough to eat. But I knew I wanted to write, I had dreamed about it for years. I wasn‗t going to be one of those people who die wondering: What if ? (77 ) I would keep putting my dream to the test even though it meant living with uncertainty and fear of failure.This is the shadowland of hope, and anyone with a dream must learn to live there.1. The passage is meant to ______.A. warn young people of the hardships that a successful writer has to experienceB. advise young people to give up their idea of becoming a professional writerC. show young people it‗s unrealistic for a writer to pursue wealth a nd fameD. encourage young people to pursue a writing career2. What can be concluded from the passage?A. Genuine writers often find their work interesting and rewarding.B. A writer‗s success depends on luck rather than on efforts.C.

Throughout history the sea has servedthe needs of man. The sea has provided man with food and a convenient way to travel to many partsof the world. Toady, experts believe that nearly two-thirds of the world‗s population live within eighty kilometers of the seacoast.(78)In the modern technological world the sea offers many resources to help mankind survive.

Oil and gas explorations have existed for nearly thirty years. Valuable amounts of minerals such as iron, copperand so on exist on the ocean floor.Besides oil and gas, the sea may offer new sources of energy. For example, warm temperature ofthe 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 thetechnology to harvest the sea continues to improve. (79) By the 2050, experts believe that the problems to explore the food, minerals and energy resources of the sea will have been largel7y solved.6. What is the beat title for the passage?A.

About forty-three percent of the adult men andthirty-one percent of the adult women in the United States smoke cigarettes regularly. It is encouraging to see that millions of people have given up smoking.It is a fact that men as a group smoke more than women. Among both men and women the age group with the highest proportion of smokers is 24-44.Income, education, and occupation all play a part in determining a person‗s smoking habit. City people smoke more than people living on farms. Well-educated men with high incomes are less likely to smoke cigarettes than men with fewer years of schooling and lower incomes. On the other hand, ifa well-educated man with a higher income smoked at all, he is likely to smoke more packs of cigarettes per day.The situation is somewhat different for women.(80)There are slightly more smokers amongwomen with higher family income and higher education than among the lower income and lower educational groups. These more highly educated women tend to smoke more heavily.Among teenagers the picture is similar. There are fewer teenaged smokers from upper-income,well-educated families, and fewer from families living in farm areas. Children are most likely to start smoking if one or both of their parents smoke.11. What do we know from the first paragraph ?A. More and more people take up the habit of smoking.B.

学位英语考试真题解析
2012年11月3日学位英语考试真题解析北京地区成人本科学士学位英语统一考试2012.11第一部分阅读理解第一篇阅读一、文章大意与结构分析这篇文章主要介绍了以弗里德曼为首的科学家们对咖啡和人体健康之间的关系展开的研究，并总结了该研究的意义。
一直以来，科学家一直在研究咖啡是否对人体有益。
但是研究结果却不是那么明确的，有的证据显示咖啡有害处，另一些证据显示它对人体有益。
弗里德曼的研究并没有得出咖啡能够使人长寿的结论，但是却为其他研究人员的进一步研究指引了方向。
二、试题解析1.【答案】D。
细节题。
由题干可以定位到第一段。
根据第一段It seems journalists are pretty interested in wine research and the same might be said for coffee.。
可知新闻工作者们（journalists），即题干中的reporters Grimm，对酒（wine）和咖啡（coffee）的研究感兴趣，选项中只有coffee，因此选择D。
2. 【答案】C。
细节题。
根据第二段They analyzed data collected from more than 400,000 Americans ages 50 to 71 participating in the study，可知选项C正确，故为答案。
3. 【答案】C。
细节题。
根据第三段的A study like this can never prove a cause-and-effect relationship. All it can really do is to point researchers in the right direction for further investigation.可知弗里德曼的研究已经得出不能证明a cause-and-effect relationship的结论，以后科学家们可以避免用这种方法研究咖啡，所以选项C为答案。
