If we are to solve the nursing shortage (不足), hospital administration and doctors everywhere would do well to follow Beth Israel’s example.At Beth Israel each patient is assigned to a primary nurse who visits at length with the patient and constructs a full-scale health account that covers everything from his medical history to his emotional state. Then she writes a care plan centered on the patient’s illness but which also includes everything else that is necessary.The primary nurse stays with the patient through his hospitalization, keeping track with his progress and seeking further advice from his doctor. If a patient at Beth Israel is not responding to treatment, it is not uncommon for his nurse to propose another approach to his doctor. What the doctor at Beth Israel has in the primary nurse is a true colleague.Nursing at Beth Israel also involves a decentralized (分散的) nursing administration; every floor, every unit is a self-contained organization. There are nurse-managers instead of head nurses; in addition to their medical duties they do all their own hiring and dismissing, employee advising, and they make salary recommendations. Each unit’s nurses decide among themselves who will work what shifts and when.Beth Israel’s nurse-in-chief ranks as an equal with other vice presidents of the hospital. She also is a member of the Medical Executive Committee, which is most hospitals includes only doctors.21.

The author’s attitude towards the nurse system at Beth Israel Hospital is ________.A) negativeB) criticalC) neutralD) positivePassage TwoQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.For some time past it has been widely accepted that babies-and other creatures-learn to do thi ngs because certain acts lead to “rewards”; and there is no reason to doubt that this is true. But it used also to be widely believed that effective reward, at least in the early stages, had to be directly related to such basic physiological (生理的) “drives” as thirst or hunger. In other words, a baby would learn if he got food or drink of some sort of physical comfort, not otherwise.It is now clear that this is not so. Babies will learn to behave in ways that produce results in the world with no reward except the successful outcome.Papousek began his studies by using milk in the normal way to “reward” the babies and so teach them to carry out some simple movements, such as turning the head to one side or the other. Then he noticed that a baby who had had enough to drink would refuse the milk but would still go on making the learned response with clear signs of pleasure. So he began to study the children’s responses in situations where on milk was provided. He quickly found that children as young as four months would learn to turn their heads to right or left if the movement “switched on”. A display of lights-and indeed that they were capable of learning quite complex turns to bring about this result, for instance, two left or two right, or even to make as many three turns to one side.Papousek’s light display was placed directly in front of the babies and he made the interesting observation that sometimes they would not turn back to watch the lightsclosely although they would “smile and bubble” when the displ ay came on. Papousek concluded that it was not primarily the sight of the lights which pleased them, it was the success they were achieving in solving the problem, in mastering the skill, and that there exists a fundamental human urge to make sense of the world and bring it under intentional control.26. According to the author, babies learn to do things which ________.A) are directly related to pleasureB) will meet their physical needsC) will bring them a feeling of successD) will satisfy their curiosity27. Papousek noticed in his studies that a baby ________.A) would make learned responses when it saw the milkB) would carry out learned movements when it had enough to drinkC) would continue the simple movements without being given milkD) would turn its head to right or left when it had enough to drink28. In Papousek’s experiment babies make learned movements of the head in order to________.A) have the lights turned onB) be rewarded with milkC) please their parentsD) be praised29. The b abies would “smile and bubble” at the lights because ________.A) the lights were directly related to some basic “drives”B) the sight of the lights was interestingC) they need not turn back to watch the lightsD) they succeeded in “switching on” the ligh ts30. According to Papousek, the pleasure babies get in achieving something is areflection of ________.A) a basic human desire to understand and control the worldB) the satisfaction of certain physiological needsC) their strong desire to solve complexD) a fundamental human urge to display their learned skillsPassage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.When a consumer finds that an item she or he bought is faulty or in some way does not live up to the manufacturer’s claim for it, the first step is to present the warranty (保单), or any other records which might help, at the store of purchase. In most cases, this action will produce results. However, if it does not, there are various means the consumer may use to gain satisfaction.A simple and common method used by many consumers is to complain directly to the store manager. In general, the “higher up” the consumer takes his or her complaint, the faster he or she can expect it to be settled. In such a case, it is usually settled in the consumer’s favor, assuming he or she has a just claim.Consumers should complain in person whenever possible, but if they cannot get to the place of purchase, it is acceptable to phone or write the complaint in a letter.Complaining is usually most effective when it is done politely but firmly, and especially when the consumer can demonstrate what is wrong with the item in questions. If this cannot be done, the consumer will succeed best by presenting specific information as to what is wrong, rath er than by making general statements. For example, “The left speaker does not work at all and the sound coming out of the right one is unclear” is better than “This stereo (立体声音响) does not work.”The store manager may advise the consumer to write to the manufacturer. If so, the consumer should do this, stating the complaint as politely and as firmly as possible. But if a polite complaint does not achieve the desired result, the consumer can go a step further. She or he can threaten to take the seller to court or report the seller to a private or public organization responsible for protecting consumers’ rights.31. When a consumer finds that his purchase has a fault in it, the first thing he shoulddo is to ________.A) complain personally to the managerB) threaten to take the matter to courtC) write a firm letter of complaint to the store or purchaseD) show some written proof of the purchase to the store32. If a consumer wants a quick settlement of his problem, it’s better to complain to________.A) a shop assistantB) the store managerC) the manufacturerD) a public organization33. The most effective complaint can be made by ________.A) showing the faulty item to the manufacturerB) explaining exactly what is wrong with the itemC) saying firmly that the item of poor qualityD) asking politely to change the item34. The phrase “live up” (Para. 1, Line 2) in the context means ________.A) meet the standard ofB) realize the purpose ofC) fulfill the demands ofD) keep the promise of35. The passage tells us ________.A) how to settle a consumer’s complaint about a faulty itemB) how to make an effective complaint about a faulty itemC) how to avoid buying a faulty itemD) how to deal with complaints from customersPassage FourQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.If women are mercilessly exploited (剥削) year after year, they have only themselves to blame. Because they tremble at the thought of being seem in public in clothes that are out of fashion, they are always taken advantage of by the designers and the big stores. Clothes which have been worn only a few times have to be put aside because of the change of fashion. When you come to think of it, only a woman is capable of standing in front of a wardrobe (衣柜) packed full of clothes and announcing sadly that she has nothing to wear.Changing fashions are nothing more than the intentional creation of waste. Many women spend vast sums of money each year to replace clothes that have hardly been worn. Women who cannot afford to throw away clothing in this way, waste hours of their time altering the dresses they have. Skirts are lengthened or shortened; neck-lines are lowered or raised, and so on.No one can claim that the fashion industry contributes anything really important to society. Fashion designers are rarely concerned with vital things like warmth, comfort and durability (耐用). They are only interested in outward appearance and they take advantage of the fact that women will put up with any amount of discomfort, as long as they look right. There can hardly be a man who hasn’t at some time in his life smiled at the sight of a woman shaking in a thin dress on a winter day, or delicately picking her way through deep snow in high-heeled shoes.When comparing men and men and women in the matter of fashion, the conclusions to be drawn are obvious. Do the constantly changing fashions of women’s clothes, one wonders, reflect basic qualities of inconstancy and instability? Men are too clever to let themselves be cheated by fashion designers. Do their unchanging styles of dress reflectbasic qualities of stability and reliability? That is for you to decide.36. Designers and big stores always make money ________.A) by mercilessly exploiting women workers in the clothing industryB) because they are capable of predicting new fashionsC) by constantly changing the fashions in women’s clothingD) because they attach great importance to quality in women’s clothing37. To the writer, the fact that women alter their old-fashioned dresses is seen as________.A) a waste of moneyB) a waste of timeC) an expression of tasteD) an expression of creativity38. The writer would be less critical if fashion designers placed more stress on the________ of clothing.A) costB) appearanceC) comfortD) suitability39. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE? ________.A) New fashions in clothing are created for the commercial exploitation of women.B) The constant changes in women’s clothing reflect their strength of character.C) The fashion industry makes an important contribution to society.D) Fashion designs should not be encouraged since they are only welcomed bywomen.40. By saying “the conclusion to be drawn are obvious” (Para. 4, Line 1-2), the writermeans that ________.A) women’s inconstancy in their choice of clothing is often laughed atB) women are better able to put up with discomfortC) men are also exploited greatly by fashion designersD) men are more reasonable in the matter of fashionPart III vocabulary and Structure (20 minutes)41.

Because they tremble at the thought of being seemin public in clothes that are out of fashion, they are always taken advantage of by the designers and the big stores. Clothes which have been worn only a few times have to be put aside because of the change of fashion. When you come to think of it, only a woman is capable of standing in front of a wardrobe (衣柜) packed full of clothes and announcing sadly that she has nothing to wear.Changing fashions are nothing more than the intentional creation of waste. Many women spend vast sums of money each year to replace clothes that have hardly been worn. Women who cannot afford to throw away clothing in this way, waste hours of their time altering the dresses they have. Skirts are lengthened or shortened; neck-lines are lowered or raised, and so on.No one can claim that the fashion industry contributes anything really important to society. Fashion designers are rarely concerned with vital things like warmth, comfort and durability (耐用). They are only interested in outward appearance and they take advantage of the fact that women will put up with any amount of discomfort, as long as they look right. There can hardly be a man who hasn’t at some time in his life smiled at the sight of a woman shaking in a thin dress on a winter day, or delicately picking her way through deep snow in high-heeled shoes.When comparing men and men and women in the matter of fashion, the conclusions to be drawn are obvious. Do the constantly changing fashions of women’s clothes, one wonders, reflect basic qualities of inconstancy and instability Men are too clever to let themselves be cheated by fashion designers. Do their unchanging styles of dress reflect basic qualities of stability and reliability That is for you to decide.36. Designers and big stores always make money ________.A) by mercilessly exploiting women workers in the clothing industryB) because they are capable of predicting new fashionsC) by constantly changing the fashions in women’s clothingD) because they attach great importance to quality in women’s clothing37. To the writer, the fact that women alter their old-fashioned dressesis seen as ________.A) a waste of moneyB) a waste of timeC) an expression of tasteD) an expression of creativity38. The writer would be less critical if fashion designers placed more stresson the ________ of clothing.A) costB) appearanceC) comfortD) suitability39. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE________.A) New fashions in clothing are created for the commercial exploitationof women.B) The constant changes in women’s clothing reflect their strength ofcharacter.C) The fashion industry makes an important contribution to society.D) Fashion designs should not be encouraged since they are only welcomedby women.40. By saying “the conclusion to be drawn are obvious” (Para. 4, Line 1-2),the writer means that ________.A) women’s inconstancy in their choice of clothing is often laughedatB) women are better able to put up with discomfortC) men are also exploited greatly by fashion designersD) men are more reasonable in the matter of fashionPart III vocabulary and Structure (20 minutes)41.

Part II Reading Comprehension (35 minutes)Passage OneQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.With fifteen years Britain and other nations should be well on with the building of huge industrial complexes for the recycling of waste. The word rubbish could lose its meaning because everything which goes into the dumps (垃圾堆) would be made into something useful. Even the most dangerous and unpleasant wastes would provide energy if nothing else.The latest project is to take a city of around half a million inhabitants and discover exactly what raw materials go into it and what go out. The aim is to find out how much of these raw materials could be provided if a plant for recycling waste were built just outside the city. This plant would recycle not only metal such as steel, lead and copper, but also paper and rubber as well.Another new project is being set up to discover the best ways of sorting and separating the rubbish. When this project is complete, the rubbish will be processed like this: First, it will pass through sharp metal bas which will tear open the plastic bags in which rubbish is usually packed; then it will pass through a powerful fan to separate the lightest elements from the heavy solids; after that grounders and rollers will break up everything that can be broken. Finally, the rubbish will pass under magnets (磁铁) , which will remove the bits of iron and steel; the rubber and plastic will then be sorted out in the final stage. The first full-scale giant recycling plants are perhaps fifteen years away. Indeed, with the growing cost of transporting rubbish to more distant dumps, some big cities will be forced to build their own recycling plants before long.21. The phrase "be well on with ..." (Para.1, Line 1) most probably means _____.(A) have completed what was started (C) have achieved a great deal in(B) get ready to start (D) put an end to22. What is NOT mentioned as a part of the recycling process described in Paragraph 3?(A) Breaking up whatever is breakable.(B) Sharpening metal bars.(C) Separating light elements from the heavy ones.(D) Sorting out small pieces of metal.23. What's the main reason for big cities to build their own recycling plants?(A) To deal with wastes in better way.(B) To protect the environment from pollution.(C) To get raw materials locally.(D) To get big profits from those plants.24. The first full-scale huge recycling plants ______.(A) began to operate fifteen years ago(B) will probably take less than fifteen years to build(C) will be built fifteen years later(D) will probably be in operation in fifteen years25. The passage is mainly about ______.(A) a cheap way to get energy (C) new ways of recycling wastes(B) the location of recycling plants (D) the probably of city environmentPassage TwoQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage:By 1970, according to a World Wildlife Fund report, only about 4,500 tigers survived throughout the world-half of them in India. Mr. Foresters, who followed and counted tiger footprints, estimated that in May 1972 only about 1,800 tigers existed in India. Project Tiger Supported by W.W.F. was immediately launched. Nine tiger reserves were created, with armed guards protecting them.The project provided opportunities for researchers from India and abroad to study tigers in the reserves and gather previously unavailable information about their habits. Studies show that a male tiger may control a hunting territory of between 10 and 20 sq. kms. depending on its age, size and strength. The territory of male includes the smaller territories of three or four tigressess. A tiger marks the boundaries of its territories by spraying urine (尿) and other bodily liquids on bushes. But it tries to avoid territorial fights, being guided by the distinctive body smell of other tigers. Tigers fight to death only when a tigress is defending her young, or when a tiger is guarding a tigress from the attentions of other males.The popular image of the tiger is that of a merciless and unconquerable hunter. But studies show that it catches only one of 20 victims (牺牲品) it tries to attack.Fears have recently developed that Project Tiger has been too successful. It has enabled the tiger population to double (by mid-80 S), but India's human population has also grown out of control. Currently it is 750 million and likely to be 900 million by the end of the century. Land problem is becoming serious and many rural people feel bitter about the fact that some rich forests are reserved for tigers. A growing number of attacks by tigers on man has added to the hostility (敌意).26. The ultimate aim of Project Tiger is to _____.(A) study the growth rate of tigers (C) promote the breeding of young tigers(B) protect tigers from being killed (D) analyze the behavioral patterns of tigers27. Studies have shown that ______.(A) a tigress never attacks until attacked(B) the tigress is not as fierce as the tigers(C) a tiger usually fights another tiger to defend its own territory(D) the tiger is not an efficient hunter as is commonly described28. According to the passage, a tiger's territory _____.(A) remains unchanged (C) expands as the tiger grows up(B) is often defended by tigresses (D) is the cause of most fights29. Some people are afraid that Project Tiger _____.(A) has been carried too far (C) has failed to achieve its goal(B) has not received enough attention (D) is not worth the money spent on it30. The author seems _____.(A) to be enthusiastic about Project Tiger(B) to have a matter-of-fact attitude towards Project Tiger(C) to have a hostile attitude towards Project Tiger(D) to be satisfied with Project TigerPassage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.In only two decades Asian Americans have become the fastest-growing U.S. minority (少数民族). As their children began moving up through the nation's schools, it became clear that a new class of academic achievers was emerging. Their achievements are reflected in the nation's best universities, where mathematics, science and engineering departments have taken on a decidedly Asian character. This special liking for mathematics and science is partly explained by the fact thatAsian-American students who began their educations abroad arrived in the U.S. with a solid grounding in mathematics but little or no knowledge of English. They are also influenced by the promise of a good job after college. Asians feel there will be less unfair treatment in areas like mathematics and science because they will be judged more objectively. And the return on the investment in education is more immediate in something like engineering than with an arts degree.Most Asian-American students owe their success to the influence of parents who are determined that their children take full advantage of what the American educational system has to offer. An effective measure of parental attention is homework. Asian parents spend more time with their children than American parents do, and it helps. Many researchers also believe there is something in Asian Culture that breeds success, such ideals that stress family values and emphasize education. Both explanations for academic success worry Asian Americans because of fears that they feed a typical racial (种族的) image. Many can remember when Chinese, Japanese and Filipino immigrants (移民) were the victims of social isolation. Indeed, it was not until 1952 that laws were laid down giving all Asian immigrants the right to citizenship.31. While making tremendous achievements at college, Asian-American students ______.(A) feel they are mistreated because of limited knowledge of English(B) are afraid that their academic successes bear a strong Asian character(C) still worry about unfair treatment in society(D) generally feel it a shame to have to depend on their parents32. What are the major factors that determine the success of Asian Americans?(A) A solid foundation in basic mathematics and Asian Americans?(B) Hard work and intelligence.(C) Parental help and a limited knowledge of English.(D) Asian culture and the American educational system.33. Few Asian-American students major in human sciences mainly because ______.(A) their English is not good enough(B) they are afraid they might meet with unfair judgement in these areas(C) there is a wide difference between Asian and Western cultures(D) they know little about American cultures and Western cultures34. Why do the two "explanations" (Para. 3, Line 1) worry Asian Americans?(A) They are afraid that they would again be isolated from American society in general.(B) People would think that Asian students rely on their parents for success.(C) Asian American would be a threat to other minorities.(D) American academic achievements have taken on too strong an Asian character.35. The author's tone in this passage is _____.(A) sympathetic (B) doubtful (C) critical (D) objective。

1993年大学英语四级试题及参考答案（1月）（3）
Passage FourQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.Like fine food, good writing is something we approach with pleasure and enjoy from the first taste to the last. And good writers, good cooks, do not suddenly appear full-blown. Quite the contrary, just as the cook has to undergo an intensive training, mastering the skills of his trade, the writer must sit at his desk and devote long hours to achieving a style in his writing, whatever its purpose-schoolwork, matters of business, or purely social communication. You may be sure that the more painstaking the effort, the more effective the writing, and the more rewarding.There are still some remote places in the world where you might find a public scribe to do your business or social writing for you, for a fee. There are a few managers who are lucky enough to have the service of that rate kind of secretary who can take care of all sorts of letter writing with no more than a quick note to work from. But for most of us, if there is any writing to be done, we have to do it ourselves.We have to write school papers, business papers or home papers. We are constantly called on to put words to paper. It would be difficult to count the number of such words, messages, letters, and reports put into the mails or delivered by hand, but the daily figure must be enormous. What is more, everyone who writes expects, or at least hopes. We want whatever we write to be read, from first word to last, not just thrown into some "letters-to-be-read" file (档案) or into a wastepaper basket. This is the reason we bend our efforts toward learning and practicing the skill of interesting, effective writing.36. In this passage, good writing is compared to fine food because _____.(A) both writers and cooks have to work long hours every day(B) both are essential to life(C) both writers and cooks can earn a good living(D) both are enjoyable37. A public "scribe" (Para 2, Line 1) is _____.(A) a secretary who does your business or social writing(B) a machine that does writing for you(C) a public school where writing is taught(D) a person who ears a living by writing for others38. According to the passage, some managers don't have to do any letter writing because _____.(A) they rely on quick notes (C) they have a computer to do it(B) they have excellent secretaries (D) they prefer making phone calls39. According to the author, if your letter is thrown into some "letter-to-be-read" file, ______.(A) it will receive immediate attention (C) it is likely to be neglected(B) it will be dealt with by the secretary (D) it is meant to be delivered soon40.

The word rubbish could lose its meaning because everything which goes into the dumps (垃圾堆) would be made into something useful. Even the most dangerous and unpleasant wastes would provide energy if nothing else.The latest project is to take a city of around half a million inhabitants and discover exactly what raw materials go into it and what go out. The aim is to find out how much of these raw materials could be provided if a plant for recycling waste were built just outside the city. This plant would recycle not only metal such as steel, lead and copper, but also paper and rubber as well.Another new project is being set up to discover the best ways of sorting and separating the rubbish. When this project is complete, the rubbish will be processed like this: First, it will pass through sharp metal bas which will tear open the plastic bags in which rubbish is usually packed; then it will pass through a powerful fan to separate the lightest elements from the heavy solids; after that grounders and rollers will break up everything that can be broken. Finally, the rubbish will pass under magnets(磁铁) , which will remove the bits of iron and steel; the rubber and plastic will then be sorted out in the final stage.The first full-scale giant recycling plants are perhaps fifteen years away. Indeed, with the growing cost of transporting rubbish to more distant dumps, some big cities will be forced to build their own recycling plants before long.21.The phrase "be well on with ..." (Para.1, Line 1) most probably means _____.(A) have completed what was started (C) have achieved a great deal in(B) get ready to start (D) put an end to22.What is NOT mentioned as a part of the recycling process described in Paragraph 3?(A)Breaking up whatever is breakable.(B)Sharpening metal bars.(C)Separating light elements from the heavy ones.(D)Sorting out small pieces of metal.23.What's the main reason for big cities to build their own recycling plants?(A)To deal with wastes in better way.(B)To protect the environment from pollution.(C)To get raw materials locally.(D)To get big profits from those plants.24.The first full-scale huge recycling plants ______.(A)began to operate fifteen years ago(B)will probably take less than fifteen years to build(C)will be built fifteen years later(D)will probably be in operation in fifteen years25.The passage is mainly about ______.(A) a cheap way to get energy (C) new ways of recycling wastes(B) the location of recycling plants (D) the probably of city environment Passage TwoQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage:By 1970, according to a World Wildlife Fund report, only about 4,500 tigers survived throughout the world-half of them in India. Mr. Foresters, who followed and counted tiger footprints, estimated that in May 1972 only about 1,800 tigers existed in India. Project Tiger Supported by W.W.F. was immediately launched. Nine tiger reserves were created, with armed guards protecting them.The project provided opportunities for researchers from India and abroad to study tigers in the reserves and gather previously unavailable information about their habits. Studies show that a male tiger may control a hunting territory of between 10 and 20 sq. kms. depending on its age, size and strength. The territory of male includes the smaller territories of three or four tigressess. A tiger marks the boundaries of its territories by spraying urine(尿) and other bodily liquids on bushes. But it tries to avoid territorial fights, being guided by the distinctive body smell of other tigers. Tigers fight to death only when a tigress is defending her young, or when a tiger is guarding a tigress from the attentions of other males.The popular image of the tiger is that of a merciless and unconquerable hunter. But studies show that it catches only one of 20 victims (牺牲品) it tries to attack.Fears have recently developed that Project Tiger has been too successful. It has enabled the tiger population to double (by mid-80 S), but India's human population has also grown out of control. Currently it is 750 million and likely to be 900 million by the end of the century. Land problem is becoming serious and many rural people feel bitter about the fact that some rich forests are reserved for tigers. A growing number of attacks by tigers on man has added to the hostility (敌意).26.The ultimate aim of Project Tiger is to _____.(A)study the growth rate of tigers (C) promote the breeding of young tigers(B)protect tigers from being killed (D) analyze the behavioral patterns of tigers27.Studies have shown that ______.(A)a tigress never attacks until attacked(B)the tigress is not as fierce as the tigers(C)a tiger usually fights another tiger to defend its own territory(D)the tiger is not an efficient hunter as is commonly described28.According to the passage, a tiger's territory _____.(A) remains unchanged (C) expands as the tiger grows up(B) is often defended by tigresses (D) is the cause of most fights29.Some people are afraid that Project Tiger _____.(A) has been carried too far (C) has failed to achieve its goal(B) has not received enough attention (D) is not worth the money spent on it30.The author seems _____.(A)to be enthusiastic about Project Tiger(B)to have a matter-of-fact attitude towards Project Tiger(C)to have a hostile attitude towards Project Tiger(D)to be satisfied with Project TigerPassage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.In only two decades Asian Americans have become the fastest-growing U.S. minority (少数民族). As their children began moving up through the nation's schools, it became clear that a new class of academic achievers was emerging. Their achievements are reflected in the nation's best universities, where mathematics, science and engineering departments have taken on a decidedly Asian character. This special liking for mathematics and science is partly explained by the fact that Asian-American students who began their educations abroad arrived in the U.S. with a solid grounding in mathematics but little or no knowledge of English. They are also influenced by the promise of a good job after college. Asians feel there will be less unfair treatment in areas like mathematics and science because they will be judged more objectively. And the return on the investment in education is more immediate in something like engineering than with an arts degree.Most Asian-American students owe their success to the influence of parents who are determined that their children take full advantage of what the American educational system has to offer. An effective measure of parental attention is homework. Asian parents spend more time with their children than American parents do, and it helps. Many researchers also believe there is something in Asian Culture that breeds success, such ideals that stress family values and emphasize education.Both explanations for academic success worry Asian Americans because of fears that they feed a typical racial (种族的) image. Many can remember when Chinese, Japanese and Filipino immigrants (移民) were the victims of social isolation. Indeed, it was not until 1952 that laws were laid down giving all Asian immigrants the right to citizenship.31.While making tremendous achievements at college, Asian-American students ______.(A)feel they are mistreated because of limited knowledge of English(B)are afraid that their academic successes bear a strong Asian character(C)still worry about unfair treatment in society(D)generally feel it a shame to have to depend on their parents32.What are the major factors that determine the success of Asian Americans?(A)A solid foundation in basic mathematics and Asian Americans?(B)Hard work and intelligence.(C)Parental help and a limited knowledge of English.(D)Asian culture and the American educational system.33.Few Asian-American students major in human sciences mainly because ______.(A)their English is not good enough(B)they are afraid they might meet with unfair judgement in these areas(C)there is a wide difference between Asian and Western cultures(D)they know little about American cultures and Western cultures34.Why do the two "explanations" (Para. 3, Line 1) worry Asian Americans?(A)They are afraid that they would again be isolated from American society in general.(B)People would think that Asian students rely on their parents for success.(C)Asian American would be a threat to other minorities.(D)American academic achievements have taken on too strong an Asian character.35.The author's tone in this passage is _____.(A) sympathetic (B) doubtful (C) critical (D) objective Passage FourQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.Like fine food, good writing is something we approach with pleasure and enjoy from the first taste to the last. And good writers, good cooks, do not suddenly appear full-blown. Quite the contrary, just as the cook has to undergo an intensive training, mastering the skills of his trade, the writer must sit at his desk and devote long hours to achieving a style in his writing, whatever its purpose-schoolwork, matters of business, or purely social communication. You may be sure that the more painstaking the effort, the more effective the writing, and the more rewarding.There are still some remote places in the world where you might find a public scribe to do your business or social writing for you, for a fee. There are a few managers who are lucky enough to have the service of that rate kind of secretary who can take care of all sorts of letter writing with no more than a quick note to work from. But for most of us, if there is any writing to be done, we have to do it ourselves.We have to write school papers, business papers or home papers. We are constantly called on to put words to paper. It would be difficult to count the number of such words, messages, letters, and reports put into the mails or delivered by hand, but the daily figure must be enormous. What is more, everyone who writes expects, or at least hopes. We want whatever we write to be read, from first word to last, not just thrown into some "letters-to-be-read" file (档案) or into a wastepaper basket. This is the reason we bend our efforts toward learning and practicing the skill of interesting, effective writing.36.In this passage, good writing is compared to fine food because _____.(A)both writers and cooks have to work long hours every day(B)both are essential to life(C)both writers and cooks can earn a good living(D)both are enjoyable37.A public "scribe" (Para 2, Line 1) is _____.(A)a secretary who does your business or social writing(B)a machine that does writing for you(C)a public school where writing is taught(D)a person who ears a living by writing for others38.According to the passage, some managers don't have to do any letter writing because _____.(A) they rely on quick notes (C) they have a computer to do it(B) they have excellent secretaries (D) they prefer making phone calls39.According to the author, if your letter is thrown into some "letter-to-be-read" file, ______.(A) it will receive immediate attention (C) it is likely to be neglected(B) it will be dealt with by the secretary (D) it is meant to be delivered soon40.The purpose of the author in writing this passage is _____.(A) to explain and persuade (C) to interest and entertain(B) to comment and criticize (D) to argue and demonstratePart III Vocabulary and Structure (20 minutes)41.If you smoke in a non-smoking section people _____.(A) have objected (B) objected (C) must object (D) will object42.There was a _____ drop in support for the Union in the 1974 election.(A) delicate (B) distinct (C) distant (D) downward43.The computer works very fast, _____ data at the speed of light.(A) having handled (B) handing (C) handled (D) hands44.Through out his life, Henry Moore _____ an interest in encouraging art in the city of Leeds.(A) contained (B) secured (C) reserved (D) maintained45.They claim that _____ 1,000 factories closed down during the economic crisis.(A) sufficiently (B) approximately (C) considerably (D) properly46.If you happen to _____ my lost papers while you're looking for your book, please let meknow at once by telephone.(A) come across (B) come up (C) come to (D) properly47.Her fluency in English gives her an advantage _____ other girls for the job.(A) above (B) over (C) than (D) with48.It is _____ impossible to find a good educational computer program in this part of the country.(A) barely (B) hardly (C) merely (D) nearly49.What he told us about the affair simply doesn't make any _____.(A) sense (B) idea (C) meaning (D) significance50.As a mother, she is too _____ towards her daughter, she should let her see more of the world.(A) hopeful (B) protective (C) modest (D) confident51."Doesn't he know that it is not _____?"

1993年英语考研真题与解析
答案解析1.［答案］D［注释］句中it是形式宾语，urgent是形容词，作宾补，that从句是宾语从句。
与urgent有关的从句中，谓语动词要用虚拟语气，形式是(should)+动词原形。
类似的形容词有：advisable,appropriate,desirable,essential,important,imperative,necessary,possible,probable,strange,natural,preferable,vital等。
2.［答案］C［注释］is reported后可接不定式作主语补足语，不接现在分词或动名词，所以首先排除［B］，［D］。
句中有twenty five years ago这一状语，表明不定式的动作是已经发生了的动作，所以应该用不定式的完成式。
3.［答案］C［注释］that引导的从句是demands的定语从句。
主句中谓语动词用了一般过去时listened;时间状语中的谓语read也是一般过去时，所以根据意思，定语从句中的谓语动词用过去完成进行时。
有不少考生选择［B］，那是错误地认为that从句是宾语从句，他们认为从句中的动词是省略了should的虚拟语气。
4.［答案］C［注释］动词escape后要接动名词作宾语，不用不定式，［A］，［B］可以首先排除。
因为escapes 前面有状语always修饰，所以用动名词的一般式，being fined是动名词一般式的被动式。
5.［答案］B［注释］predominantly 是“主要地”。
［A］previously 是“原先，以前”；［C］practically 是“实际上”；［D］permanently 是“永久地，永远地”。
6.［答案］D［注释］how是连接副词，引导宾语从句。
how后的what是关系代词型的what=the thing which。
what you have observed是宾语从句中的主语从句。

Its Mount McKinley is higher than any other peak in North America. Its Yukon River is one of the longest navigable waterways in the world. Huge animals sill thrive in its open spaces ... grizzly, black, and polar bears; moose, caribou, musk-oxen, wolves, seals and killer whales. Alaska is a land of spectacular contrasts-smoking volcanoes and frozen tundra, hot springs and ice floes, creeping glaciers and virgin forests. This vast, raw, and rugged land thrusts a chain of volcanic islands more than a thousand miles southwest into the Bering Sea. Reaching beyond the International Date Line, the land area originally spanned four time zones.PART II LISTENING COMPREHENSION (20 MIN)Directions: In Sections A, B and C you will hear everything ONCE ONLY.

I spent most of my time under water.Tom: I don’t understand.Judy: (10[A]) I was on a special field trip. I went with my marine biology class.Tom: So you went diving. What were you looking for, sunken treasure?Judy: You might say so. The sea’s full of treasures. All kinds of strange fascinating organisms. Our class concentrated on studying plankton.Tom: I thought planktons were too small to be seen.Judy: That’s common misconception. Theterm plankton covers a wild variety of freely flowing plants and animals, from one cell organisms to larger ones, such as the common jellyfish.Tom: Jellyfish may be large enough to be seen. But can you see the very tiny planktons?Judy: By concentrating. I was able to see the outlines of lots of different plankton plants and animals.Tom: That sounds like an interesting trip.

"Meet me at the office. We`ll have something to eat and then go on to the theatre." Fred`s wife was delighted. It was quite a while since they had been to the theatre which she liked very much. She met her husband as they had arranged. They had dinner and got to the theatre in good time. At the entrance, Fred took out his wallet to get the tickets. "It`s very strange." he said, "They aren`t here." "try your pockets." suggested his wife. But the tickets weren`t there either. Then Fred looked very upset. "What`s the matter?" asked his wife. "Well," Fred explained, "I remember what I did with the tickets. I put them in my briefcase. But because I wasn`t coming home.

But a different kind of shortage is not easy to see. That is a shortage of experts. Many villages have no doctors, engineers or scientists. They have no one who knows how to treat unusual medical problems or design a new expert system. There`s a way to ease these problems. They can do it with computers. In the past few years, computer scientists around the world have developed what they call expert systems. An expert system is a special kind of computer program. In some situations, it can take the place of a human expert. For example, an expert in medical system can help care for a sick person. A question appears on the computer screen, "Is the person hot?" You tell the computer either yes or no. The computer asks other questions. "Has the person lost any blood?" "Can the person move normally?" You answer. The computer continues to ask questions until it has enough information to make a decision. Then it tells what medicine or other treatment is needed. In this way the expert system takes the place of a doctor. Another kind of expert system takes the place of an engineer. It measures the flow of water in a river. It tells if a dam can be built on the river. It also tells how much electricity can be produced. Still other kinds of expert systems help solve problems for farmers and owners of small businesses.Questions 14 to 16 are based on the passage you have just heard.14. What does the speaker want to draw the listener`s attention to when he mentions the villages in developing countries?15. What is an expert system?16. Which of the following statements is true?Passage ThreeLast summer I visited Mexico City to see the ancient art in the museums there. I was surprised at how well I managed to get around even though I don`t speak a word of Spanish. You just have to be able to make the right decision in a talk situation. The manager of my hotel gave me a map of the city and told me that the best way to get to the museum was by subway. I didn`t knowwhere the nearest subway was. But I was sure I would find it if I walked a little. After an hour I was still walking. I was completely lost. Just then a policeman came over and showed me the nearest station. I looked at the subway map and wall and didn`t know which line to take. In fact I wasn`t shown which station I was in. Most people would give up in that situation but not me. After I thought it over, I knew exactly what to do. I went upstairs and took a taxi.Questions 17 to 20 are based on the passage you have just heard.17. Why did the speaker go to Mexico City?18. What was the best way to the museum according to the hotel manager?19. Why did the speaker take a taxi?20. How did the speaker feel about his trip to the museum?1993年1月大学英语四级(CET-4)听力真题试卷Part I Listening Comprehension (20 minutes)Section A1.A) Go over the list.B) Do some shopping.C) List everything her friend needs.D) Go for an outing.2.A) The man did most of the talking.B) The man and the woman robbed the bank.C) The woman was wearing a black sweater.D) The man and the woman had dark hair.3.A) The traffic.B) The weather.C) Their health.D) Their time-table.4.A) John missed a test.B) John has kept his job.C) John has stolen a car.D) John was called a thief.5.A) To buy Frank a new car.23B) To drive Frank’s car.C) To help Frank sell his car.D) To help Frank repair his car.6.A) English.B) English and Education.C) Education.D) Neither English nor Education.7.A) As big as she expected.B) Much bigger than she expected.C) Not as big as she expected.D) So small that she is not satisfied.28.A) The rent is too high.B) He can’t afford the high taxes.C) He doesn’t want to live in the suburbs.D) It’s too far away from his office.9.A) No. He has to finish his homework.B) No. He doesn’t like going to the club.C) Yes.

The word rubbish could lose its meaning because everything which goes into the dumps (垃圾堆) would be made into something useful. Even the most dangerous and unpleasant wastes would provide energy if nothing else.The latest project is to take a city of around half a million inhabitants and discover exactly what raw materials go into it and what go out. The aim is to find out how much of these raw materials could be provided if a plant for recycling waste were built just outside the city. This plant would recycle not only metal such as steel, lead and copper, but also paper and rubber as well.Another new project is being set up to discover the best ways of sorting and separating the rubbish. When this project is complete, the rubbish will be processed like this: First, it will pass through sharp metal bas which will tear open the plastic bags in which rubbish is usually packed; then it will pass through a powerful fan to separate the lightest elements from the heavy solids; after that grounders and rollers will break up everything that can be broken. Finally, the rubbish will pass under magnets (磁铁) , which will remove the bits of iron and steel; the rubber and plastic will then be sorted out in the final stage.The first full-scale giant recycling plants are perhaps fifteen years away. Indeed, with the growing cost of transporting rubbish to more distant dumps, some big cities will be forced to build their own recycling plants before long.21. The phrase "be well on with ..." (Para.1, Line 1) most probably means _____.(A) have completed what was started (C) have achieved a great deal in(B) get ready to start (D) put an end to22. What is NOT mentioned as a part of the recycling process described in Paragraph 3?(A) Breaking up whatever is breakable.(B) Sharpening metal bars.(C) Separating light elements from the heavy ones.(D) Sorting out small pieces of metal.23. What's the main reason for big cities to build their own recycling plants?(A) To deal with wastes in better way.(B) To protect the environment from pollution.(C) To get raw materials locally.(D) To get big profits from those plants.24. The first full-scale huge recycling plants ______.(A) began to operate fifteen years ago(B) will probably take less than fifteen years to build(C) will be built fifteen years later(D) will probably be in operation in fifteen years25. The passage is mainly about ______.(A) a cheap way to get energy (C) new ways of recycling wastes(B) the location of recycling plants (D) the probably of city environmentPassage TwoQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage:By 1970, according to a World Wildlife Fund report, only about 4,500 tigers survived throughout the world-half of them in India. Mr. Foresters, who followed and counted tiger footprints, estimated that in May 1972 only about 1,800 tigers existed in India. Project Tiger Supported by W.W.F. was immediately launched. Nine tiger reserves were created, with armed guards protecting them.The project provided opportunities for researchers from India and abroad to study tigers in the reserves and gather previously unavailable information about their habits. Studies show that a male tiger may control a hunting territory of between 10 and 20 sq. kms. depending on its age, size and strength. The territory of male includes the smaller territories of three or four tigressess. A tiger marks the boundaries of its territories by spraying urine (尿) and other bodily liquids on bushes. But it tries to avoid territorial fights, being guided by the distinctive body smell of other tigers. Tigers fight to death only when a tigress is defending her young, or when a tiger is guarding a tigress from the attentions of other males.The popular image of the tiger is that of a merciless and unconquerable hunter. But studies show that it catches only one of 20 victims (牺牲品) it tries to attack.Fears have recently developed that Project Tiger has been too successful. It has enabled the tiger population to double (by mid-80 S), but India's human population has also grown out of control. Currently it is 750 million and likely to be 900 million by the end of the century. Land problem is becoming serious and many rural people feel bitter about the fact that some rich forests are reserved for tigers. A growing number of attacks by tigers on man has added to the hostility (敌意).26. The ultimate aim of Project Tiger is to _____.(A) study the growth rate of tigers (C) promote the breeding of young tigers(B) protect tigers from being killed (D) analyze the behavioral patterns of tigers27. Studies have shown that ______.(A) a tigress never attacks until attacked(B) the tigress is not as fierce as the tigers(C) a tiger usually fights another tiger to defend its own territory(D) the tiger is not an efficient hunter as is commonly described28. According to the passage, a tiger's territory _____.(A) remains unchanged (C) expands as the tiger grows up(B) is often defended by tigresses (D) is the cause of most fights29. Some people are afraid that Project Tiger _____.(A) has been carried too far (C) has failed to achieve its goal(B) has not received enough attention (D) is not worth the money spent on it30. The author seems _____.(A) to be enthusiastic about Project Tiger(B) to have a matter-of-fact attitude towards Project Tiger(C) to have a hostile attitude towards Project Tiger(D) to be satisfied with Project TigerPassage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.In only two decades Asian Americans have become the fastest-growing U.S. minority (少数民族). As their children began moving up through the nation's schools, it became clear that a new class of academic achievers was emerging. Their achievements are reflected in the nation's best universities, where mathematics, science and engineering departments have taken on a decidedly Asian character. This special liking for mathematics and science is partly explained by the fact that Asian-American students who began their educations abroad arrived in the U.S. with a solid grounding in mathematics but little or no knowledge of English. They are also influenced by the promise of a good job after college. Asians feel there will be less unfair treatment in areas like mathematics and science because they will be judged more objectively. And the return on the investment in education is more immediate in something like engineering than with an arts degree. Most Asian-American students owe their success to the influence of parents who are determined that their children take full advantage of what the American educational system has to offer. An effective measure of parental attention is homework. Asian parents spend more time with their children than American parents do, and it helps. Many researchers also believe there is something in Asian Culture that breeds success, such ideals that stress family values and emphasize education.Both explanations for academic success worry Asian Americans because of fears that they feed a typical racial (种族的) image. Many can remember when Chinese, Japanese and Filipino immigrants (移民) were the victims of social isolation. Indeed, it was not until 1952 that laws were laid down giving all Asian immigrants the right to citizenship.31. While making tremendous achievements at college, Asian-American students ______.(A) feel they are mistreated because of limited knowledge of English(B) are afraid that their academic successes bear a strong Asian character(C) still worry about unfair treatment in society(D) generally feel it a shame to have to depend on their parents32. What are the major factors that determine the success of Asian Americans?(A) A solid foundation in basic mathematics and Asian Americans?(B) Hard work and intelligence.(C) Parental help and a limited knowledge of English.(D) Asian culture and the American educational system.33. Few Asian-American students major in human sciences mainly because ______.(A) their English is not good enough(B) they are afraid they might meet with unfair judgement in these areas(C) there is a wide difference between Asian and Western cultures(D) they know little about American cultures and Western cultures34. Why do the two "explanations" (Para. 3, Line 1) worry Asian Americans?(A) They are afraid that they would again be isolated from American society in general.(B) People would think that Asian students rely on their parents for success.(C) Asian American would be a threat to other minorities.(D) American academic achievements have taken on too strong an Asian character.35. The author's tone in this passage is _____.(A) sympathetic (B) doubtful (C) critical (D) objectivePassage FourQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.Like fine food, good writing is something we approach with pleasure and enjoy from the first taste to the last. And good writers, good cooks, do not suddenly appear full-blown. Quite the contrary, just as the cook has to undergo an intensive training, mastering the skills of his trade, the writer must sit at his desk and devote long hours to achieving a style in his writing, whatever its purpose-schoolwork, matters of business, or purely social communication. You may be sure that the more painstaking the effort, the more effective the writing, and the more rewarding.There are still some remote places in the world where you might find a public scribe to do your business or social writing for you, for a fee. There are a few managers who are lucky enough to have the service of that rate kind of secretary who can take care of all sorts of letter writing with no more than a quick note to work from. But for most of us, if there is any writing to be done, we have to do it ourselves.We have to write school papers, business papers or home papers. We are constantly called on to put words to paper. It would be difficult to count the number of such words, messages, letters, and reports put into the mails or delivered by hand, but the daily figure must be enormous. What is more, everyone who writes expects, or at least hopes. We want whatever we write to be read, from first word to last, not just thrown into some "letters-to-be-read" file (档案) or into a wastepaper basket. This is the reason we bend our efforts toward learning and practicing the skill of interesting, effective writing.36. In this passage, good writing is compared to fine food because _____.(A) both writers and cooks have to work long hours every day(B) both are essential to life(C) both writers and cooks can earn a good living(D) both are enjoyable37. A public "scribe" (Para 2, Line 1) is _____.(A) a secretary who does your business or social writing(B) a machine that does writing for you(C) a public school where writing is taught(D) a person who ears a living by writing for others38. According to the passage, some managers don't have to do any letter writing because _____.(A) they rely on quick notes (C) they have a computer to do it(B) they have excellent secretaries (D) they prefer making phone calls39. According to the author, if your letter is thrown into some "letter-to-be-read" file, ______.(A) it will receive immediate attention (C) it is likely to be neglected(B) it will be dealt with by the secretary (D) it is meant to be delivered soon40. The purpose of the author in writing this passage is _____.(A) to explain and persuade (C) to interest and entertain(B) to comment and criticize (D) to argue and demonstratePart III V ocabulary and Structure (20 minutes)41.

1993年英语专业四级阅读试题
1993Passage ACalifornia is a land of variety and contrast. Almost every type of physical land feature, short of arctic ice fields and tropical jungles can be found within its borders. Sharply contrasting types of land often lie very close to one another.People living in Bakersfield, for instance, can visit the Pacific Ocean and the coastal plain, the fertile San Joaquin Valley, the arid Mojave Desert, and the high Sierra Nevada, all within a radius of about 100 miles. In other areas it is possible to go snow skiing in the morning and surfing in the evening of the same day, without having to travel long distances.Contrast abounds in California. The highest point in the United States (outside Alaska)is in California, and so is the lowest point (including Alaska).Mount Whitney, 14 494 feet above sea level, is separated from Death Valley, 282 feet below sea level, by a distance of only 100 miles. The two areas have a difference in altitude of almost three miles.California has deep, clear mountain lakes like Lake Tahoe, the deepest in the country, but it also has shallow, salty desert lakes. It has Lake Tulainyo, 12 020 feet above sea level, and the lowest lake in the country, the Salton Sea, 236 feet below sea level. Some of its lakes, like Owens Lake in Death Valley, are not lakes at all; they are dried-up lakebeds.In addition to mountains, lakes, valleys, deserts, and plateaus, California has its Pacific coastline, stretching longer than the coastlines of Oregon and Washington combined.Passage BBy far the most common snake in Britain is the adder. In Scotland, in fact, there are no other snakes at all. The adder is also the only British snake with a poisonous bite. It can be found almost anywhere, but prefers sunny hillsides and rough open country, including high ground. In Ireland there are no snakes at all.Most people regard snakebites as a fatal misfortune, but not all bites are serious, and very few are fatal. Sometimes attempts at emergency treatment turn out to be more dangerous than the bite itself, with amateurs heroically, but mistakenly, trying do-it-yourself surgery and other unnecessary measures.All snakes have small teeth, so it follows that all snakes can bite, but only the bite of the adder presents any danger. British snakes are shy animals and are far more frightened of you than you could possibly be of them. The adder will attack only if it feels threatened, as can happen if you take it by surprise and step on it accidentally or if you try to catch it or pick it up, which it dislikes intensely. If it hears you coming, it will normally get out of the way as quickly as it can, but adders cannot move very rapidly and may attack before moving if you are very close.The effect of a bite varies considerably. It depends upon several things, one of which is the body-weight of the person bitten. The bigger the person, the less harmful the bite is likely to be, which is why children suffer far more seriously from snake bites than adults. A healthy person will also have better resistance against the poison.Very few people actually die from snakebites in Britain, and though these bites can make some people very ill, there are probably just as many cases of bites having little or no effect, as there are of serious illness.Passage CConcern with money, and then more money, in order to buy the conveniences and luxuries of modern life, has brought great changes to the lives of most Frenchmen. More people are workingthan ever before in France. In the cities the traditional leisurely midday meal is disappearing. Offices, shops, and factories are discovering the greater efficiency of a short lunch hour in company lunchrooms. In almost all lines of work emphasis now falls on ever-increasing output. Thus the “typical” Frenchman produces more, earns more, and buys more consumer goods than his counterpart of only a generation ago. He gains in creature comforts and ease of life. What he loses to some extent is his sense of personal uniqueness, or individuality.Some say that France has been Americanized. This is because the United States is a world symbol of the technological society and its consumer products. The so-called Americanization of France has its critics. They fear that “assembly-line life”will lead to the disappearance of the pleasures of the more graceful and leisurely (but less productive) old French style. What will happen, they ask, to taste, elegance, and the cultivation of the good things in lif e—to joy in the smell of a freshly picked apple, a stroll by the river, or just happy hours of conversation in a local cafe?Since the late 1950’s life in France has indeed taken on qualities of rush, tension, and the pursuit of material gain. Some of the strongest critics of the new way of life are the young, especially university students. They are concerned with the future, and they fear that France is threatened by the triumph of this competitive, goods-oriented culture. Occasionally, they have reacted against the trend with considerable violence.In spite of the critics, however, countless Frenchmen are committed to keeping France in the forefront of the modern economic world. They find that the present life brings more rewards, conveniences, and pleasures than that of the past. They believe that a modern, industrial France is preferable to the old.Passage DUltralight (超轻型的) airplanes are a recent development in aviation that provide what aviation enthusiasts have long been seeking: an inexpensive airplane that is easy to fly. The ultralight plane was born of the marriage of the hang glider and the go-kart(微型单座竞赛车) engine around 1974, when John Moody mounted a 12 -horsepower go-kart engine on his Icarus II hang glider. Today’s ultralights are not just hang gliders with engines; they are “air recreation vehicles”. Modern ultralight planes use snowmobile(雪地机动车) engines that let them cruise at about 50 miles per hour , climb at about 500 feet per minute, and carry combined payloads of pilot and fuel up to about 200 pounds, which is about equal to an ultralight plane’s weight when empty. More than ten thousand ultralight planes were sold last year at prices ranging from $ 2 800 to $ 7000. But the main reason for the increasing popularity of these aircraft is not that they are inexpensive, but that they are fun to fly.The modern ultralight plane would look very familiar to the earliest pioneers of aviation. Otto Lilienthal made more than 2000 flights in Germany in the 1890’s in what were actually hang gliders. Octave Chanute designed and built many early hang gliders. Augustus Herring, Chanute’s assistant, used these gliders as models for a glider that he built for himself. On this glider, Herring installed a compressed-air motor and flew 267 feet in 1898. The Wright brothers’ Flyer was the grandfather of today’s ultralight planes. The pilot sat right out in the open, just as in modern ultralights, and used controls that were much the same as those used in today’s machines.Though most ultralight planes are used for pleasure flying, some are also used for crop dusting, aerial photography, and even military observation service. The likelihood is that further uses will be found for ultralight planes, but their greatest use will continue to be as air recreational vehicles.。

She met her husband as they had arranged. They had dinner and got to the theatre in good time. At the entrance, Fred took out his wallet to get the tickets. "It`s very strange." he said, "They aren`t here." "try your pockets." suggested his wife. But the tickets weren`t there either. Then Fred looked very upset. "What`s the matter?" asked his wife.

But a different kind of shortage is not easy to see. That is a shortage of experts. Many villages have no doctors, engineers or scientists. They have no one who knows how to treat unusual medical problems or design a new expert system. There`s a way to ease these problems. They can do it with computers. In the past few years, computer scientists around the world have developed what they call expert systems. An expert system is a special kind of computer program. In some situations, it can take the place of a human expert. For example, an expert in medical system can help care for a sick person. A question appears on the computerscreen, "Is the person hot?" Y ou tell the computer either yes or no. The computer asks other questions. "Has the person lost any blood?" "Can the person move normally?" Y ou answer. The computer continues to ask questions until it has enough information to make a decision. Then it tells what medicine or other treatment is needed. In this way the expert system takes the place of a doctor. Another kind of expert system takes the place of an engineer. It measures the flow of water in a river. It tells if a dam can be built on the river. It also tells how much electricity can be produced. Still other kinds of expert systems help solve problems for farmers and owners of small businesses.Questions 14 to 16 are based on the passage you have just heard.14. What does the speaker want to draw the listener`s attention to when he mentions the villages in developing countries?15. What is an expert system?16. Which of the following statements is true?Passage ThreeLast summer I visited Mexico City to see the ancient art in the museums there. I was surprised at how well I managed to get around even though I don`t speak a word of Spanish. Y ou just have to be able to make the right decision in a talk situation. The manager of my hotel gave me a map of the city and told me that the best way to get to the museum was by subway. I didn`t know where the nearest subway was. But I was sure I would find it if I walked a little. After an hour I was still walking. I was completely lost. Just then a policeman came over and showed me the nearest station. I looked at the subway map and wall and didn`t know which line to take. In fact I wasn`t shown which station I was in. Most people would give up in that situation but not me. After I thought it over, I knew exactly what to do. I went upstairs and took a taxi.Questions 17 to 20 are based on the passage you have just heard.17. Why did the speaker go to Mexico City?18. What was the best way to the museum according to the hotel manager?19. Why did the speaker take a taxi?20. How did the speaker feel about his trip to the museum?。

Choose the one that you think is the best answer.Questions 76-80 are based on the following passage.California is a land of variety and contrast. Almost every type of physical land feature, short of arctic ice fields and tropical jungles can be found within its borders. Sharply contrasting types of land often lie very close to one another.People living in Bakersfield, for instance, can visit the Pacific Ocean and the coastal plain, the fertile San Joaquin Valley, the arid Mojave Desert, and the high Sierra Nevada, all within a radius of about 100 miles. In other areas it is possible to go snow skiing in the morning and surfing in the evening of the same day, without having to travel long distances.Contrast abounds in California. The highest point in the United States (outside Alaska)is in California, and so is the lowest point (including Alaska).Mount Whitney, 14 494 feet above sea level, is separated from Death Valley,282 feet below sea level, by a distance of only 100 miles. The two areas have adifference in altitude of almost three miles.California has deep, clear mountain lakes like Lake Tahoe, the deepest in the country, but it also has shallow, salty desert lakes. It has Lake Tulainyo, 12 020 feet above sea level, and the lowest lake in the country, the Salton Sea, 236 feet below sea level. Some of its lakes, like Owens Lake in Death Valley, are not lakes at all; they are dried-up lakebeds.In addition to mountains, lakes, valleys, deserts, and plateaus, California has its Pacific coastline, stretching longer than the coastlines of Oregon and Washington combined.76.Which of the following is the lowest point in the United States?ke Tulainyo.B.Mojave Desert.C.Death Valley.D.The Salton Sea.77.Where is the highest point in the United States located?ke Tahoe.B.Sierra Nevada.C.Mount Whitney.D.Alaska.78.How far away is Death Valley from Mount Whitney?A.About 3 miles.B.Only 100 miles.C.282 feet.D.14 494 feet.79.Which of the following is not mentioned in the passage as being within a radius of about 100 miles of Bakersfield?A.The Pacific Ocean.B.San Joaquin Valley.C.Mojave Desert.D.Oregon and Washington.80.Which statement best demonstrates that California is a land of variety and contrast?A.The highest lake in California is Lake Tulainyo.B.It is possible to go surfing and snow skiing in some parts of California without having to travel long distance.C.Sierra Nevada, San Joaquin Valley, Mojave Desert and the Pacific Ocean all lie within a radius of about 100 miles.D.Owens Lake, in Death Valley, is not really a lake at all.Questions 81-86 are based on the following passage.By far the most common snake in Britain is the adder. In Scotland, in fact, there are no other snakes at all. The adder is also the only British snake with a poisonous bite. It can be found almost anywhere, but prefers sunny hillsides and rough open country, including high ground. In Ireland there are no snakes at all.Most people regard snakebites as a fatal misfortune, but not all bites are serious, and very few are fatal. Sometimes attempts at emergency treatment turn out to be more dangerous than the bite itself, with amateurs heroically, but mistakenly, trying do-it-yourself surgery and other unnecessary measures.All snakes have small teeth, so it follows that all snakes can bite, but only the bite of the adder presents any danger. British snakes are shy animals and are far more frightened of you than you could possibly be of them. The adder will attack only if it feels threatened, as can happen if you take it by surprise and step on it accidentally or if you try to catch it or pick it up, which it dislikes intensely. If it hears you coming, it will normally get out of the way as quickly as it can, but adders cannot move very rapidly and may attack before moving if you are very close.The effect of a bite varies considerably. It depends upon several things, one of which is the body-weight of the person bitten. The bigger the person, the less harmful the bite is likely to be, which is why children suffer far more seriously from snake bites than adults. A healthy person will also have better resistance against the poison.Very few people actually die from snakebites in Britain, and though these bites can make some people very ill, there are probably just as many cases of bites having little or no effect, as there are of serious illness.81.Which of the following statements is NOT true?A.The adder is the only poisonous snake in Britain.B.In Scotland there are no other snakes except the adder.C.Snake bites seem more dangerous than they actually are.D.People’s attempts at emergency treatment are utterly unnecessary.82.Adders are most likely to be found _______.A.in wilder parts of Britain and IrelandB.in Scotland and nowhere elseC.on uncultivated land throughout BritainD.in shady fields in England83.We are told that British snakes are _____.A.afraid of human beingsB.poisonous including the adderC.dangerous except the adderD.friendly towards human beings84.When will the adder not attack you?A.When you try to catch it.B.When you are some distance away from it.C.When you happen to step on it.D.When you try to pick it up.85.If an adder hears you coming, it will usually ______.A.attack you immediatelyB.disappear very quicklyC.wait to frighten youD.move out of the way86.According to the passage, a snake bite is _______.A.more harmful to a healthy man than to a sick manB.less harmful to an adult than to a childC.more dangerous than any serious illnessD.always fatal in BritainQuestions 87-92 are based on the following passage.Concern with money, and then more money, in order to buy the conveniences and luxuries of modern life, has brought great changes to the lives of most Frenchmen. More people are working than ever before in France. In the cities the traditional leisurely midday meal is disappearing. Offices, shops, and factories are discovering the greater efficiency of a short lunch hour in company lunchrooms. In almost all lines of work emphasis now falls on ever-increasing output. Thus the “typical” Frenchman produces mo re, earns more, and buys more consumer goods than his counterpart of only a generation ago. He gains in creature comforts and ease of life. What he loses to some extent is his sense of personal uniqueness, or individuality.Some say that France has been Americanized. This is because the United States is a world symbol of the technological society and its consumer products. The so-called Americanization of France has its critics. They fear that “assembly-line life” will lead to the disappearance of the pleasures of the more graceful and leisurely (but less productive) old French style. What will happen, they ask, to taste, elegance, and the cultivation of the good things in life——to joy in the smell of a freshly picked apple, a stroll by the river, or just happy hours of conversation in a local cafe?Since the late 1950’s life in France has indeed taken on qualities of rush, tension, and the pursuit of material gain. Some o f the strongest critics of the new way of life are the young, especially university students. They are concerned with the future, and they fear that France is threatened by the triumph of this competitive, goods-oriented culture. Occasionally, they have reacted against the trend with considerable violence.In spite of the critics, however, countless Frenchmen are committed to keeping France in the forefront of the modern economic world. They find that the present life brings more rewards, conveniences, and pleasures than that of the past. They believe that a modern, industrial France is preferable to the old.87.Which of the following is NOT given as a feature of the old French way of life?A.Leisure.B.Elegance.C.Efficiency.D.Taste.88.Which of the following is NOT related to the new French way of life?A.Shorter lunch hour.B.Greater output.C.Creature comforts.D.Leisurely cafe talk.89.Which of the following is NOT true about Frenchmen?A.Many of them prefer the modern life style.B.They actually enjoy working at the assembly line.C.They are more concerned with money than before.D.They are more competitive than the older generation.90.The passage suggests that ______.A.in pursuing material gains the French are suffering losses elsewhereB.it’s now unlikely to see a Frenchman enjoying a stroll by the riverC.the French are fed up with the smell of freshly picked applesD.great changes have occurred in the life style of all Frenchmen91.Which of the following is true about the critics?A.Critics are greater in number than people enjoying the new way of life.B.Student critics are greater in number than critics in other fields.C.Student critics have, on occasion, resorted to violent means against the trend.D.Critics are concerned solely with the present and not the future.92.Which of the following best states the main idea of the passage?A.Changes in the French way of life.B.Criticism of the new life style.C.The Americanization of France.D.Features of the new way of life.Questions 93-98 are based on the following passage.Ultralight(超轻型的) airplanes are a recent development in aviation that provide what aviation enthusiasts have long been seeking: an inexpensive airplane that is easy to fly. The ultralight plane was born of the marriage of the hang glider and the go-kart(微型单座竞赛车) engine around 1974, when John Moody mounted a 12 -horsepower go-kart engine on his Icarus H hang glider.Today’s ultralights are not just hang gliders with engines; they are“air recreation vehicles”. Modern ultralight planes use snowmobile(雪地机动车) engines that let them cruise at about 50 miles per hour , climb at about 500 feet per minute, and carry combined payloads of pilot and fuel up to about 200 pounds, which is about equal to an ultralight plane’s weight when empty. More than ten thousand ultralight planes were sold l ast year at prices ranging from $ 2 800 to $ 7000. But the main reason for the increasing popularity of these aircraft is not that they are inexpensive, but that they are fun to fly.The modern ultralight plane would look very familiar to the earliest pioneers of aviation. Otto Lilienthal made more than 2000 flights in Germany in the 1890’s in what were actually hang gliders. Octave Chanute designed and built many early hang gliders. Augustus Herring, Chanute’s assistant, used these gliders as models for a glider that he built for himself. On this glider, Herring installed a compressed-air motor and flew 267 feet in 1898. The Wright brothers’ Flyer was the grandfather of today’s ultra light planes. The pilot sat right out in the open, just as in modern ultralights, and used controls that were much the same as those used in today’s machines.Though most ultralight planes are used for pleasure flying, some are also used for crop dusting, aerial photography, and even military observation service. The likelihood is that further uses will be found for ultralight planes, but their greatest use will continue to be as air recreational vehicles.93.The author seems to feel that ultralight airplanes are ______.A.a toy for the richB.nothing but hang glidersC.a new development that meets the needs of aviation enthusiastsD.the most important development in aviation since the Wright brothers’ Flyer94.According to the passage, today’s ultralight airplanes _______.A.are inexpensive but difficult to flyB.are more like go-karts than like hang glidersC.cannot climb as last or as high as hang glidersD.are not too different from the earlier aircraft95.The author compares John Moody’s use of a go-kart engine on a hang glider to _______.A.a marriageB.the flight of IcarusC.cruising in a snowmobileD.soaring and gliding from a high altitude96.Which of the following statements is an opinion?A.Ultralight planes use snowmobile engines that let them cruise at about 50 miles per hour.B.John Moody used a 12-horse-power engine to power his Icarus II hang glider.C.The use of ultralight planes will increase in such areas as crop dusting and aerial photography.D.Otto Lilienthal made more than 2000 flights in Germany in the 1890’s in what were actually hang gliders.97.The author finds great similarity between _______.A.the weight of the hang glider and that of the ultralight airplaneB.ultralight airplanes and military aircraftC.the inventiveness of John Moody and that of Octave ChanuteD.the controls used in the Wright brothers’Flyer and those used in today’s ultralight airplanes98.The best title for this passage is _______.A.The Flying SnowmobileB.The History of Recent AviationC.How the Ultralight Plane FliesD.The Ultralight Plane, a Recent DevelopmentQuestions 99-105 are based on the following passage.All Eskimos live most of their lives close to salt or fresh water. They may follow game inland for several hundred miles, but they always return to the shores of rivers, Lakes, or seas. Eskimo land has a bare look. Large rocks, pebbles, and sand cover much of the surface . Plants called lichen(地衣)grow right on rock. And where there is enough soil, even grass, flowers and small bushes manage to live. No trees can grow on Eskimo land, so geographers sometimes call this country the Arctic plains. Some animals, such as rabbits and caribou(北美驯鹿) ,eat the plants. Others, like the white fox and grey wolf, eat the rabbits and caribou. The Eskimo is a meat eater, too, and may even eat a wolf when food is scarce.The Eskimo year has two main parts: a long, cold winter and a short, cool summer. Spring and fall are almost too short to be noticed. Summer is the good time, when food is usually plentiful. But it is also the time when the Eskimos are very busy. Winter is never far away , and the men must bring home extra meat for the women to prepare and store. For seldom can enough animals be killed in winter to feed a family.The Far North is sometimes called the land of the midnight sun. This is true in the middle of summer, for between April 21st and August 21st the sun never sets in Northern Greenland. But in midwinter the Far North is a land with no sun shining at all. Around Oct. 21st the Eskimos of Northern Greenland see the sun setting straight south of them, and they don’t see it again until February 22nd. All places on earth get about the same amoun t of daylight during a year. As a result, if summer is lighter, winter has to be darker.Winter nights in the Far North are seldom pitch-black. As in the rest of the world, the stars and moon provide a little light. The northern lights also help the Eskimo to see. And with the ground covered with snow, even a little light is reflected back to the Eskimo’s eyes.99.Which of the following statements is NOT true?A.Eskimos do not normally eat wolves.B.Eskimos like to chase one another.C.Eskimos depend heavily on water.D.Eskimos are meat-eaters.100.On Eskimo land ______.A.rabbits live on the plantsB.soil is rich and plentifulC.grass grows more easily than lichenD.lichen is found only on rock101.In the Eskimo year, _______.A.there are no spring and fallB.winter is cold and summer is hotC.summer is a time for growing food。
