For each blank there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should choose the ONE that best fits into the passage and mark the corresponding letter on the ANSWER SHEET.For many people today, reading is no longer relaxation. To keep up with their work, they must read letters, reports, trade publications, interoffice communications, not to mention newspapers and magazines: a never ending flood of words. In 51 a job or advancing in one, the ability to read and comprehend 52 can mean the difference between success and failure. Yet the unfortunate fact is that most of us are 53 readers. Most of us develop poor reading 54 at an early age, and never get over them. The main deficiency 55 in the actual stuff of language itself— words. Taken individually, words have 56 meaning until they are strung together into phrases, sentences and paragraphs. 57, however, the untrained reader does not read groups of words. He laboriously reads one word at a time, often regressing to 58 words or passages. Regression, the tendency to look back over 59 you havejust read, is a common bad habit in reading. Another habit which 60 down the speed of reading is vocalization( 发声 )—sounding each word either orally or mentally as 61 reads.To overcome these bad habits, some reading clinics use a device called an 62, which moves a bar(or curtain)down the page at a predetermined speed. The bar is set at a slightly faster rate 63 the reader finds comfortable, in order to “stretch ”him. The accelerator forces the reader to read fast, 64 word by word reading, regression and subvocalization practically impossible. At first 65 is sacrificed forspeed. But when you learn to read ideas and concepts, you will not only read faster, 66 your comprehension will improve. Many people have found 67 reading skill drastically improved after some training. 68 Chalice Au, a business manager, for instance, his reading rate was a reasonably good 172 words a minute 69 the training, now it is an excellent 1,378 words a minute. He is delighted that now he can 70 a lot more reading material in a short period of time.51. A. getting B. doing C. offering D. applying52. A. easily B. quickly C. roughly D. decidedly53.

His name was Alfred Nobel. He was a great scientist and inventor himself. Besides, he had a big business. His business may surprise you. He made and sold explosives. His companies even made and sold weapons. Isn’t this something that surprises you? The man who made money from weapons should set up the Peace Prize?Though Alfred Nobel had a lot of money from weapons, he hated war. He hoped that there would be no war in the world. He was one of the richest in Europe. When he died in 1896, he left behind him a lot of money and his famous will. According to his will, most of his money was placed in a fund. He wanted the interest from the fund to be used as prizes every year. We know them as the Nobel Prizes. The Nobel Prizes are international. Alfred Nobel wanted the winners to be chosen for their work, not the country they came from.Alfred Nobel had given his whole life to his studies and work and to the benefits of mankind. He made money all by his own efforts, but he left the world share his wealth. His inventions and wealth stay with the world for ever.61.

If you are a dinner guest in Ghana, this information will help you a lot.In Ghana dinner is usually from four in the afternoon to six in the evening. But there are no strict rules about time. Whenever a guest arrives, a family offers food. When you go to a home, the person who receives guests takes you to the living room first. At this time everyone welcomes you. Then you go to the dining room. There you wash your hands in a bowl of water. All the food is on the table.In Ghana you usually eat with your fingers. You eat from the same dish as everyone else. But you eat from one side of the dish only. It is not polite to get food from the other side of the dish. After dinner, you wash your hands again in a bowl of water.Most meals in Ghana have a dish called fufu. People in Ghana make fufu from the powder of some plants. Sometimes they cut the fufu with a saw because it is very hard. You must chew fufu well, or you may get sick. You eat fufu with the fingers of your right hand only.66. From the passage we know that in Ghana _____.A. the rules for dinner time are not strictB. dinner is always at six in the eveningC. a family offers food only at four in the afternoonD. people usually invite their guests to dinner later in the evening67.If you are a dinger guest in Ghana ,the host(主人)always takes you to _____.A. the dining room firstB. the living room firstC. the kitchen firstD. the garden first68 People in Ghana usually eat _____.A. from one side of a dish to the otherB. from the other side of the dishC. with their fingersD. with their spoons69.

When you eat fufu, you’d better _____.A. cut it with a sawB. use your right hand onlyC. chew it wellD. all of the abovepassage 3Most people usually traveled by ship and train which are driven by steam engine. It played an important part in many kinds of vehicles several scores of years ago. Who invented steam engine and what units could be used to measure the power of engine？The word “horse-power” was first used two hundred years ago. James Watt from a worker’s family made the world first widely used steam engine. At first, he couldn’t tell people how powerful it was, because there were no units at that time. Watt decided to find out how much work one strong horse could do in one minute. He named that unit one horse-power. In this way he could measure the work of his steam engine.He discovered that a horse could lift a 3300-pound weight 10 feet into the air in one minute. His engine could lift a 3300-pound weight 100 feet in one minute. Because his engine did ten times as much work as the horse, Watt called it a ten horse-power engine.71. The main idea of the passage is ___.A. James Watt invented the steam engineB. James Watt first used horse-power as a unit of measureC. how much power does a horse haveD. why Watt’s engine is called a ten horse-power engine72. The story says that Watt made the first ____.A. engineB. horse-power engineC. useful engineD. widely used steam engine73.

One horse-power means the ____.A. work a horse could do in a minuteB. weight a horse could do in ten minutesC. work a horse could do in ten minutesD. weight of one horsePassage 4Another thing an astronaut has to learn about is eating in space. Food is weightless, just as men are.Food for space has to be packed in special ways. Some of it goes into tubes that a man can squeeze into his mouth. Bite-sized cookies are packed in plastic.There is a good reason for covering each bite. The plastic keeps pieces of food from traveling in the spaceship. On the earth very small pieces of food would simply fall to the floor. But gravity doesn’t pull them to the floor when they are out of the plastic in a spaceship. They move here and there and can get into a man’s eyes or into the spaceship’s instruments. If any of the instruments is blocked, the astronauts may have trouble getting safely home.As astronauts travel on longer space trips, they must take time to sleep. An astronaut can fit himself to his seat with a kind of seat belt .Or, if he wants to, he can sleep in a sleeping bag which is fixed in place under his seat. But be careful he must put his hands under the belt when he goes to sleep. This is because he is really afraid that he might touch one of controls that isn’t supposed to be touched until later.76. Why would astronauts cover each bite of food in space？____A. Because small pieces of food would fall down to the floor.B. Because weightless pieces of food might make trouble when they travel around.C. Because they haven’t enough food for longer trips.D. because astronauts don’t want to waste food.77. In a spaceship, astronauts can ____.A. walk just as they do on the earthB. not eat anything because it’s dangerousC. control the spaceship when they are sleepingD. not litter small things or it will make trouble78. In what way is food for space packed？___A. Very small pieces of food are put on the floor.B. Some of it is put into tubes.C. Small-sized cookies are packed in plastic.D. Both B and C.79. Why does an astronaut put his hand under his belt when he sleeps？____A. Because he thinks it is comfortable to sleep in that way in space.B. Because he doesn’t want to touch any controls when he sleeps.C. Because the instruments of the spaceship are easily broken.D. Because he is afraid that the seat will move.80. The best title of this article is ____.A. Eating and Sleeping in SpaceB. How Astronauts Eat in SpaceC. Food for SpaceD. How Astronauts Sleep in SpacePart IV Translation汉译英：81.过去在路的尽头有一家商店82.只有那时，我才有机会实现我的梦想。

A man was standing on the corner, and something deep 52 me said, “Just help him.” 53 I rolled down my window, and he ran over with enthusiasm, saying “God bless you, I only need 77 cents.” I 54 into my ashtray and strangely enough, there sat three quarters and two pennies.I scooped（抓起）it up and gave it to him.

Each passage is followed by some questions or incomplete 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 Answer Sheet .Passage 1Having finished her homework, Ma Li wants some music for relaxation①. As usual, she starts her computer and goes to to download music files. But this time she is surprised when an announcement about protecting songs’ copyright bursts onto the screen. The age of free music and movie downloads may have come to an end as Web companies like Baidu are accused of pirating copyright. Lawsuits have been filed against four websites offering free downloads. In September 2005, a Beijing court ordered Baidu to pay recording company Shanghai Push compensation for their losses. Baidu was also told to block the links to the pirated music on the website. This caused a heated discussion on Interact file sharing.“Baidu’s defeat in the lawsuit shows it is not right to get copyrighted songs without paying. Downloaders may face lawsuits or fines,” said an official.Like many teens, Huang Ruoru, an 18-year-old girl from Puning in Guangdong Province, doesn’t think that getting music from websites is wrong. She always shares her favourite songs downloaded from Baidu with her friends. When told about the lawsuit, she began to feel a little guilty about obta ining others’ work without paying.However, other teenagers have different ideas. Wang Yafei, a Senior 2 girl from Jinan, Shandong Province pointed out that file sharing is a good way to promote pop singers. “If I download a song and really like it, I will buy the CD,” she said. “So what the recording companies really should concentrate on is improving their music, rather than pursuing file-sharers.”61. Which of the following best describes the passage?A. Music on the Internet is of better quality.B. Downloading material can be illegal.C. It’s good to get free music on the Internet.D. Baidu is a popular web company.62. The four web companies were put to court because _________.A. they got copyrighted songs without payingB. they downloaded copyrighted music for peopleC. they make copyrighted files for free downloadsD. they offer free music on line63. How do some of the teenagers feel while downloading free music after the lawsuit?A. A bit guilty.B. A little sad.C. Extremely angry.D. Awfully sorry.64. What’s the advantage of tile sharing for recording companies?A. Getting more money from web companies.B. Enabling people to download favorite songs.C. Helping to improve the music.D. Making pop singers more popular.65. It can be inferred from the text that _________.A. Web companies are still ignoring the copyright laws.B. Teenagers haven’t got money to buy CDs.C. Teenagers are probably still downloading free music.D. Teenagers prefer CDs with copyright to pirated music.Passage 2Internet dating has become one of the biggest and most successful business ventures on theInternet．Basically, Internet dating is a way to meet people for either friendship or dating without actually having to meet them in person first．The first thing to do it you decide to try Internet dating is to build your profile （简介）which can include your hobbies, hopes for the future, and so on．A photograph is optional, but many sites claim that a photograph increases the number of people who look at your profile．Many Internet dating sites will charge a one-lime registration fee to use their services.Internet dating makes it possible to meet people from all over the world．You can even narrow the search down to your area by zip code．Another advantage is that you can communicate by e-mail before you meet in person．Thousands of people have met, fallen in love, and married through Internet dating．It is an excellent way for shy people to meet．It is also a way for people with busy lives to connect with others, and an easy way to meet people who share your interests．Just as in traditional dating and love, there are some pitfalls to be aware of in Internet dating．The person you have been talking to on the Net may not be who they say they are, Be very aware that there are some people who misrepresent their appearance or private details, such as marital status, income, and so on, for their own reasons．It would not be the first time that someone has been taken in, and talk shows are full of cheating partners who have been caught dating over the Internet in their spare time．Nevertheless, taking a few simple precautions should help ensure that your Internet dating experience is fun．66．The purpose of writing the passage is to _____．A．persuade readers to go dating on the Internet B．inform us how to date on the Internet C．warn readers against web love D．introduce Internet dating to us 67．Which of the following is a must to make an Internet dating possible?A．A photo．B．A profile．C．Money．D．Business experience．68．One advantage of Internet dating is that _____．A．you can avoid a face-to-face meeting in the beginningB．you're sure to find a partner with the same interestsC．you'll find absolutely dependable information of othersD．you'll gain fame and money overnight69．What is probably talked about following the last paragraph?A．Traditional dating．B．Hidden advantages C．Safety measures．D．Romantic love．70．The underlined word "pitfalls" in Paragraph 4 most probably means ______ A．rules B．trends C．problems D．skillsPassage 3The drug store was closing for the night and Alfred Higgins was about to go home when his new boss approached him.“Empty your pockets please, Alfred,” Sam Carr demanded in a firm voice.Alfred pretended to be shocked but he knew he’d been caught. From his coat he withdrew a make-up kit, a lipstick and two tubes of toothpaste.“I’m disappointed in you, Alfred!” said the little gray-haired man.“Sorry, sir. Please forgive me. It’s the first time I’ve ever done such a thing,” Alfred li ed, hoping to gain the old man’s sympathy.Mr Carr’s brow furrowed as he reached for the phone, “Do you take me for a fool? Let’s see what the police have to say. But first I’ll call your mother and let her know her son is heading to jail.”“Do whatever you want,” Alfred shot back, trying to sound big. But deep down he felt like a child. He imagined his mother rushing in, eyes burning with anger, maybe in tears. Yet he wanted her to come quickly before Mr. Carr called the police.Mr. Carr was surprised when Mrs Higgins finally arrived. She was very calm, quiet and friendly. “Is Alfred in trouble?” she asked.“He’s been stealing from the store,” the old man coolly replied.Mrs. Higgins put out her hand and touched Mr. Carr’s arm with great gentleness as if she knew just how he felt. She spoke as if she did not want to cause him any more trouble. “What do you want to do, Mr. Carr?”The woman’s calm and gentle manner disarmed the once-angry store-owner. “I was going to get a cop. But I don’t want to be cruel. Tell your son not to come back here again, and I’ll let it go.” Then he warmly shook Mrs. Higgins’s hand.Mrs. Higgins thanked the old man for his kindness, then mother and son left. They walked along the street in silence. When they arrived home his mothe r simply said, “Go to bed, you fool.”In his bedroom, Alfred heard his mother in the kitchen. He felt no shame, only pride in his mother’s actions. “She was smooth!” he thought. He went to the kitchen to tell her how great she was, but was shocked by what he saw.His mother’s face looked frightened, broken. Not the cool, bright face he saw earlier. Her lips moved nervously. She looked very old. There were tears in her eyes.This picture of his mother made him want to cry. He felt his youth ending. He saw all the troubles he brought her and the deep lines of worry in her grey face. It seemed to him that this was the first time he had ever really seen his mother.71.．Which of the following is true according to the passage?A．Alfred tried to sound big to hide his fear.B．It was the first time Alfred had stolen anything.C．Mr. Carr set a trap to catch Alfred stealing.D．Mr. Carr had planned to forgive Alfred from the beginning.72.．What does the underlined word “disarmed” probably mean?A．annoyed B．convinced C．got over D．made less angry 73.．What impressed Alfred most about his mother at the drugstore was ______．A．how angry she was B．how effectively she handled Mr．Carr C．that she didn't cry D．that she was able to save him 74.．What was the mother's attitude toward Alfred?A．She was very strict with him．B．She was supportive of him．C．She felt disappointed with him．D．She was afraid of him．75.．From the last paragraph, we know that Alfred ______．A．was no longer a youth B．felt proud of his motherC．felt guilty and regretful for his deed D．wanted his mother to be happyPassage 4Most Americans get what money they have from their work; that is, they earn an income from wages or salaries. The richest Americans, however, get most of their money from what they own — their stocks, bonds, real estate, and other forms of property, or wealth. Although there are few accurate statistics to go by, wealth in American society appears to be concentrated in very few hands. More than 20 percent of everything that can be privately owned is held by less than onepercent of the adult population and more than 75 percent of all wealth is owned by 20 percent of American adults. The plain fact is that most Americans have no wealth at all aside from their homes, automobiles, and a small amount of savings.Income in the United States is not as highly concentrated as wealth. In 1917 the richest 10 percent of American families received 26.1 percent of all income, while the poorest 10 percent received 17 percent, mainly from Social Security and other government payments. The most striking aspect of income distribution is that it has not changed significantly since the end of World War II. Although economic growth has roughly doubled real disposable (可自由使用的) family income (the money left after taxes and adjusted for inflation) over the last generation, the size of the shares given to the rich and the poor is about the same. By any measure economic inequality is great in the United States.The reality behind these statistics is that a large number of Americans are poor. In 1918, 14 percent of the population was living below the federal government’s poverty line, which at that time was an annual income of $ 9 287 for a nonfarm family of two adults and two children. In other words, about one out of seven Americans over 31 million people was officially considered unable to buy the basic necessities of food, clothes, and shelter. The suggested poverty line in 1981 would have been an income of about $11, 200 for a family of four. By this relative definition, about 20 percent of the population or more than 45 million Americans are poor.76．What does the majority of the Americans have in terms of wealth?A．Their income and savings. B．Their house, cars and small amounts of savings.C．Everything they own in their homes. D．Actually, they have no wealth at all. 77．What is the percentage of wealth that is in the hands of most Americans?A．Less than 25%. B．More than 25%. C．More than 75%. D．Less than 20%. 78．Why is economic inequality still great in the US in spite of the economic growth?A．Because the economic growth has widened the gap of the family income between the rich and the poor.B．Because income in the US is still concentrated in the hands of the richest 10% of American families.C．Because the proportion of income received by the rich and the poor remains almost the same as in 1917.D．Because some Americans made great fortunes during the Second World War.79．What can we learn from comparison of the two poverty lines in the last paragraph?A. The poverty line of 1918 is more favorable to the poor than that of 1981.B. The 1981 line didn’t leave much to the poor.C. There were more Americans who were officially poor by the 1918 line.D. There were more Americans who were officially poor by the 1981 line.80．From the last two sentences we can see that 1981 government’s poverty line _______.A．was of no good for the poor B．was officially approvedC．was not helpful to the poor D．was not put into operation thenPart IV Translation (2×10)汉译英81、我建议你做功课先复习一下课文,这样你可以避免犯许多错误。

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 Answer Sheet .Passage 1In the 1960s, medical researchers Thomas Holmes and Richard Rahe developed a check list of stressful events. They appreciated the tricky point that any major change can be stressful. Negative events like ―serious illness of a family member‖ were high on the list, but so were some positive life-changing events, like marriage. When you take the Holmes-Rahe test you must remember that the score does not reflect how you deal with stress—it only shows how much you have to deal with. And we now know that the way you handle these events dramatically affects your chances of staying healthy.By the early 1970s, hundreds of similar studies had followed Holmes and Rahe. And millions of Americans who work and live under stress worried over the reports. Somehow, the research got boiled down to a memorable message. Women’s magazines ran headlines like ―Stress causes illness!‖ If you want to stayphysically and mentally healthy, the articles said, avoid stressful events.But such simplistic advice is impossible to follow. Even if stressful events are dangerous, many—like the death of a loved one—are impossible to avoid. Moreover, any warning to avoid all stressful events is a prescription (处方) for staying away from opportunities as well as trouble. Since any change can be stressful, a person who wanted to be completely free of stress would never marry, have a child, take a new job or move.The notion that all stress makes you sick also ignores a lot of what we know about people. It assumes we’re all vulnerable (脆弱的) and passive in the face of adversity (逆境). But what about human initiative and creativity? Many come through periods of stress with more physical and mental vigor than they had before. We also know that a long time without change or challenge can lead to boredom, and physical and metal strain.61. The result of Holmes-Rahe’s medical research tells us ________.A) the way you handle major events may cause stressB) what should be done to avoid stressC) what kind of event would cause stressD) how to cope with sudden changes in life62. The studies on stress in the early 1970’s led to ________.A) widespread concern over its harmful effectsB) great panic over the mental disorder it could causeC) an intensive research into stress-related illnessesD) popular avoidance of stressful jobs63. The score of the Holmes-Rahe test shows ________.A) how much pressure you are underB) how positive events can change your lifeC) how stressful a major event can beD) how you can deal with life-changing events64. Why is ―such simplistic advice‖ (Line 1, Para. 3) i mpossible to follow?A) No one can stay on the same job for long.B) No prescription is effective in relieving stress.C) People have to get married someday.D) You could be missing opportunities as well.65. According to the passage people who have experienced ups and downs may become ________.A) nervous when faced with difficultiesB) physically and mentally strainedC) more capable of coping with adversityD) indifferent toward what happens to themPassage2Most episodes of absent-mindedness—forgetting where you left something or wondering why you just entered a room—are caused by a si mple lack of attention, says Schacter. ―You’re supposed to remember something, but you haven’t encoded it deeply.‖Encoding, Schacter explains, is a special way of paying attention to an event that has a major impact on recalling it later. Failure to encode properly can create annoying situations. If you put your mobile phone in a pocket, for example, and don’t pay attention to what you did because you’re involved in a conversation, you’ll probably forget that the phone is in the jacket now hanging in you wardrobe (衣柜). ―Your memory itself isn’t failing you,‖ says Schacter. ―Rather, you didn’t give your memory system the information it needed.‖Lack of interest can also lead to absent-mindedness. ―A manwho can recite sports statistics from 30 years ago,‖ sa ys Zelinski, ―may not remember to drop a letter in the mailbox.‖ Women have slightly better memories than men, possibly because they pay more attention to their environment, and memory relies on just that.Visual cues can help prevent absent-mindedness, says Schacter. ―But be sure the cue is clear and available,‖ he cautions. If you want to re member to take a medication (药物) with lunch, put the pill bottle on the kitchen table—don’t leave it in the medicine chest and write yourself a note that you keep in a pocket.Another common episode of absent-mindedness: walking into a room and wondering w hy you’re there. Most likely, you were thinking about something else. ―Everyone does this from time to time,‖ says Zelinski. The best thing to do is to return to whe re you were before entering the room, and you’ll likely remember.66. Why does the author think that encoding properly is very important?A) It helps us understand our memory system better.B) It enables us to recall something form our memory.C) It expands our memory capacity considerably.D) It slows down the process of losing our memory.67. One possible reason why women have better memories than men is that ________.A) they have a wider range of interestsB) they are more reliant on the environmentC) they have an unusual power of focusing their attentionD) they are more interested in what’s happening around them68. A note in the pocket can hardly serve as a reminder because ________.A) it will easily get lostB) it’s not clear enough for you to readC) it’s out of your sightD) it might get mixed up with other things69. What do we learn from the last paragraph?A) If we focus our attention on one thing, we might forget another.B) Memory depends to a certain extent on the environment.C) Repetition helps improve our memory.D) If we keep forgetting things, we’d better return to where we were.70. What is the passage mainly about?A) The process of gradual memory loss.B) The causes of absent-mindedness.C) The impact of the environment on memory.D) A way if encoding and recalling.Passage 3After the violent earthquake that shook Los Angeles in 1994, earthquake scientists had good news to report: The damage and death toll (死亡人数) could have been much worse.More than 60 people died in this earthquake. By comparison, as earthquake of similar intensity that shook America in 1988 claimed 25,000 victims.Injuries and deaths were relatively less in Los Angeles because the quake occurred at 4:31 a.m. on a holiday, when traffic was light on the city’s highway s. In addition, changes made to the construction codes in Los Angeles during the last 20 years have strengthened the city’s buildings and highways,making them more resistant to quakes.Despite the good news, civil engineers aren’t resting on their successes. Pinned to their drawing boards are blueprints (蓝图) for improved quake-resistant buildings. The new designs should offer even greater security to cities where earthquakes often take place.In the past, making structures quake-resistant meant firm yet flexible materials, such as steel and wood, that bend without breaking. Later, people tried to lift a building off its foundation, and insert rubber and steel between the building and its foundation to reduce the impact of ground vibrations. The most recent designs give buildings brains as well as concrete and steel supports. Called smart buildings, the structures respond like living organisms to an earthquake’s vibrations. When the ground shakes and the building tips forward, the computer would force the building to shift in the opposite direction.The new smart structures could be very expensive to build. However, they would save many lives and would be less likely to be damaged during earthquakes.71. One reason why the loss of lives in the Los Angeles earthquake was comparatively low is that ________.A) new computers had been installed in the buildingsB) it occurred in the residential areas rather than on the highwaysC) large numbers of Los Angeles residents had gone for a holidayD) improvements had been made in the construction of buildings and highways72. The function of the computer mentioned in the passage is to ________.A) counterbalance an earthquake’s action on the buildingB) predict the coming of an earthquake with accuracyC) help strengthen the foundation of the buildingD) measure the impact of an earthquake’s vibrations73. The smart buildings discussed in the passage ________.A) would cause serious financial problemsB) would be worthwhile though costlyC) would increase the complexity of architectural designD) can reduce the ground vibrations caused by earthquakes74. It can be inferred from the passage that in minimizing the damage caused by earthquakes attention should be focused on ________.A) the increasing use of rubber and steel in capital constructionB) the development of flexible building materialsC) the reduction of the impact of ground vibrationsD) early forecasts of earthquakes75. The author’s main purp ose in writing the passage is to ________.A) compare the consequences of the earthquakes that occurred in the U.S.B) encourage civil engineers to make more extensive use of computersC) outline the history of the development of quake-resistant building materialsD) report new developments in constructing quake-resistant buildingsPassage 4The fitness movement that began in the late 1960s and early 1970s centered around aerobic exercise (有氧操). Millions ofindividuals became engaged in a variety of aerobic activities, and literally thousands of health spas developed around the country to capitalize (获利) on this emerging interest in fitness, particularly aerobic dancing for females. A number of fitness spas existed prior to this aerobic fitness movement, even a national chain with spas in most major cities. However, their focus was not on aerobics, but rather on weight-training programs designed to develop muscular mass, strength, and endurance in their primarily male enthusiasts. These fitness spas did not seem to benefit financially form the aerobic fitness movement to better health, since medical opinion suggested that weight-training programs offered few, if any, health benefits.

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 Answer Sheet .Passage 1Psychologist George Spilich and colleagues at Washington College in Chestertown, Maryland, decided to find out whether, as many smokers say, smoking helps them to “ think and concentrate. Spilich put young non-smokers, active smokers and smokers deprived （被剥夺） of cigarettes through a series of tests.In the first test, each subject （试验对象） sat before a computer screen and pressed a key assoon as he or she recognized a target letter amonga grouping of 96. In this simple test, smokers, deprived smokers and non-smokers performed equally well.The next test was more complex, requiring all to scan sequences of 20 identical letters and respond the instant one of the letters transformed into a different one. Non-smokers were faster, but under the stimulation of nicotine （尼古丁）, active smokers were faster than deprived smokers.In the third test of short-term memory, non-smokers made the fewest errors, but deprived smokers committed fewer errors than active smokers.The fourth test required people to read a passage, then answer questions about it. Non-smokers remembered 19 percent more of the most important information than active smokers, and deprived smokers bested those who hadsmoked a cigarette just before testing. Active smokers tended notonly to have poorer memories but also had trouble separating important information from insignificant details.“As our tests became more complex, ” sums up Spilich, “non-smokers performed better than smokers by wider and wider margins ” He predicts, “smokers might perform adequately at many jobs -until they got complicated. A smoking airline pilot could fly adequately if no problems arose, but if something went wrong, smoking might damage his mental capacity. ”61. The purpose of George Spilich 's experiments is ___________ .A. to test whether smoking has a positive effect on the mental capacity of smokersB. to show how smoking damages people 's mental capacityC. to prove that smoking affects people 's regular performanceD. to find out whether smoking helps people 's short -term memory62. George Spilich 's ex periment was conducted in such a way as to ___________ .A. compel the subjects to separate major information from minor detailsB. put the subjects through increasingly complex testsC. check the effectiveness of nicotine on smokersD. register the prompt responses of the subjects63. The word “bested ” (Line 3, Para. 5) most probably means _______ .A. beatB. enviedC. caught up withD. made the best of64. Which of the following statements is trueA. Active smokers in general performed better than deprived smokers.B. Active smokers responded more quickly than the other subjects.C. Non-smokers were not better than other subjects in performing simple tasks.D. Deprived smokers gave the slowest responses to the various tasks.65. We can infer from the last paragraph that ______ .A. smokers should not expect to become airline pilotsB. smoking in emergency cases causes mental illnessC. no airline pilots smoke during flightsD. smokers may prove unequal to handing emergency casesPassage 2There is no denying that students should learn something about how computers work, just as weexpect them at least to understand that the internal-combustion engine （内燃机） has somethingto do with burning fuel, expanding gases and pistons （活塞） being driven. For people should have some basic idea of how the things that they use do what they do. Further, students might be helped by a course that considers the computer 's impact on society. But that is not what is meant bycomputer literacy. For computer literacy is not a form of literacy （读写能力）; it is a tradeskill that should not be taught as a liberal art.Learning how to use a computer and learning how to program one are two distinct activities. Acase might be made that the competent citizens of tomorrow should free themselves from theirfear of computers. But this is quite different from saying that all ought to know how to program one. Leave that to people who have chosen programming as a career. While programming can be lots of fun, and while our society needs some people who are experts at it, the same is true of auto repaid and violin-making.Learning how to use a computer is not that difficult, and it gets easier all the time as programs become more “user - friendly ”. Let us assume that in the future everyone is going to have to know how to use a computer to be a competent citizen. What does the phrase “learning to usea computer ” mean It sounds like “learning to drive a car ”, that is, it sounds as if thereis some set of definite skills that, once acquired, enable one to use a computer.In fact, “learning to use a computer” is much more like “learning to play a game”, but learning the rules of one game may not help you play a second game, whose rules may not be the same. There is no such a thing as teaching someone how to use a computer. One can only teach people to use this or that program and generally that is easily accomplished.66. To be the competent citizens of tomorrow, people should ______ .A. try to lay a solid foundation in computer scienceB. be aware of how the things that they use do what they doC. learn to use a computer by acquiring a certain set of skillsD. understand that programming a computer is more essential than repairing a car67. In the second paragraph “violin - making” is mentioned to show that _______ ___.A. programming a computer is as interesting as making a violinB. our society needs experts in different fieldsC. violin-making requires as much skill as computer programmingD. people who can use a computer don 't necessarily have to know computer pr ogramming68. Learning to use a computer is getting easier all the time because _____ .A. programs are becoming less complicatedB. programs are designed to be convenient to usersC. programming is becoming easier and easierD. programs are becoming readily available to computer users (B)69. According to the author, the phrase “learning to use a computer” (Lines 3-4, Para. 3) learning .meansA. a set of rulesB. the fundamentals of computer scienceC. specific programsD. general principles of programming70. The author 's purpose in writing this passage is _______ .A. to stress the impact of the computer on societyB. to explain the concept of the computer literacyC. to illustrate the requirements for being competent citizens of tomorrowD. to emphasize that computer programming is an interesting and challenging jobPassage 3The way people hold to the belief that a fun-filled, pain free life equals happiness actually reduces their chances ofever attaining real happiness, if fun and pleasure are equal to happiness then pain must be equal to unhappiness. But in fact, the opposite is true: more often than not things that lead to happiness involve some pain.As a result, many people avoid the very attempts that are the source of true happiness. They fear the pain inevitably brought by such things as marriage, raising children, professional achievement, religious commitment （承担的义务）, self-improvement.Ask a bachelor （单身汉） why he resists marriage even though he finds dating to be less and less satisfying. If he is honest he will tell you that he is afraid of making a commitment. For commitment is in fact quite painful. The singlelife is filled with fun, adventure, excitement.Marriage has such moments, but they are not its most distinguishing features.Couples with infant children are lucky to get a whole night ' s sleep or a three -day vacation.I don' t know any parent who would choose the word fun to describe raising children. But couples who decide not to have children never know the joys of watching a child grow up or of playing with a grandchild.Understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun is one of the most liberating realizations. It liberates time: now we can devote more hours to activities that can genuinely increase our happiness. It liberates money: buying that new car or those fancy clothes that will do nothing to increase our happiness now seems pointless. And it liberates us from envy: we now understand that all those who are always having so much fun actually may not be happy at all.71. According to the author, a bachelor resists marriage chiefly because ______ .A. he is reluctant to take on family responsibilitiesB. he believes that life will be more cheerful if he remains singleC. he finds more fun in dating than in marriageD. he fears it will put an end to all his fun adventure and excitement72. Raising children, in the author ' s opinion, is _______ .A. a moral dutyB. a thankless jobC. a rewarding taskD. a source of inevitable pain73. From the last paragraph, we learn that envy sometimes stems from _____ .A. hatredB. misunderstandingC. prejudiceD. ignorance74. To understand what true happiness is one must ______ .A. have as much run as possible during one ' s lifetimeB. make every effort to liberate oneself from painC. put up with pain under all circumstancesD. be able to distinguish happiness from fun75. What is the author trying to tell usA. Happiness often goes hand in hand with pain.B. One must know how to attain happiness.C. It is important to make commitments.D. It is pain that leads to happiness.Passage 4It ' s very interesting to note where the debate about diversity （多样化） is taking place. Itis taking place primarily in political circles. Here at the College Fund, we have a lot of contact with top corporate （公司的） leaders; none of them is talking about getting rid of those instruments that produce diversity. In fact, they say that if their companies are to compete in the global village and in the global market place, diversity is an imperative. They also say that the needfor talented, skilled Americans means we have to expand the pool means promoting policies that help provide skills to more minorities, more women and more immigrants. Corporate leaders know that if that doesn ' t occu r in our society, they will not have the engineers, the scientist,the lawyers, or the business managers they will need.Likewise, I don 't hear people in the academy saying. “Let ' s go backward. Let 's go back tothe good old days, when we had a meritocracy ( 不拘一格选人才) “ (which was never true -we neverhad a meritocracy, although we ' ve come close to it in the last 30 years). I recently visiteda great little college in New York where the campus had doubled its minority population in the last six years. I talked with an African American who has been a professor there for a long time, and she remembers that when she first joined the community, there were fewer than a handful of minorities on campus. Now, all of us feel the university is better because of the diversity.So where we hear this debate is primarily in political circles and in the media-not in corporate board rooms or on college campuses.76. The word “ imperative ” (Line 5, Para. 1) most probably refers to something _______ .A. superficialB. remarkableC. debatableD. essential77. Which of the following groups of people still differ in their views on diversityA. Minorities.B. Politicians.C. Professors.D. Managers.78. High corporate leaders seem to be in favor of promoting diversity so as to _____ .A. lower the rate of unemploymentB. win equal political rights for minoritiesC. be competitive in the world marketD. satisfy the dema nds of a grow ing populati on79. It can be in ferred from the passage that ______ .A. meritocracy can n ever be realized without diversityB. American political circles will not accept diversityC. it is uni ikely that diversity will occur in the U.S. mediaD. minorities can only enter the fields where no debate is heard about diversity80. Accord ing to the passage diversity can be achieved in America n society by ______A. expa nding the pool of pote ntial employeesB. promoti ng policies that provide skills to employeesC. training more engin eers, scie ntists lawyers and bus in ess man agersD. providi ng educati on for all regardless of race or sex87、The knee is the joints where the thigh bone meets the large bone of the lower leg.88、 Thanks to modern irrigation, crops now grow abundantly in areas where once nothing but cactiand sagebrush could live.89、Eliminating problems by transferring the blame to others is often called scape-goating.90、The chief foods eaten in any country depend largely on what grows best in its climate and soil.Part V Error correctio n (1 x 10) Directions:There are 10 senten ces.

Pony-trekking, climbing and fishing are also 47 , along with Scotland's national game, golf. 48 enthusiasts are well rewarded—this is the homeof the red deer, red squirrel and golden eagle. If you don't like the 49 to the highest point, some 2000 metres 50 sea level, you can take the railway 51 gets you to the summit in less than ten minutes. 52 the west of the park is another popular natural 53 , Loch Ness. The lake is over 200 metres 54 in places, and salmon, trout and eels are in abundance here.Over the border in England is the Lake District, 55 made famous by Romantic poets such as William Wordsworth two hundred years ago. People have been 56 here en masse since 1847 57 a railway was built to its biggest lake, Windermere. 58 in the past boats plied its waters 59 stone, timber and wood, today's craft are more likely to carry 60 on pleasure cruises—over a million a year, in fact.41.

As a psychologist for more than twenty years I can tell you that I have never had an adult looking back at her childhood and complaining that her parents were too understanding. And similarly, I have met many divorced people who still love each other but yet they never really understood each other.The painful reality is that love is just not enough. I'll admit that there are people who I love and who I still need to better understand. I hope I'll continue my work to understand them. The willingness to understand is very important. It is not always easy, but healthy love is strengthened by the willingness to understand. Love without understanding will wilt like flowers without water.Our egos are what seem to get in the way of understanding those who we love and care about. Often it is our need to be right that makes what others think and feel so wrong for us.I have certainly been quite guilty of this in some of my relationships.As I have written repeatedly in my books, empathy, is truly the emotional glue that holds all close relationships together. Empathy allows us to slow down and try to walk in the shoes of those we love. The deeper our empathy, the deeper—and healthier—our love. Not all relationships are meant to be. Yet all relationships that are meant to flourish in a healthy way, must stress understanding just as much, if not more, as love.61. From the passage we know that .A、the author complains about her parents' being too understandingB、the author has been studying marriages for more than 20 yearsC、people divorced mainly because they didn't love each otherD、some people divorced because they couldn't understand each other62. Why are we unable to understand the others sometimes?A、Because we care about the others too much.B、Because it is quite difficult to understand the others.C、Because we believe we are always right.D、Because the others have done something wrong.63. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A、Understanding is more important to parenting relationship than to other intimate relationships.B、Understanding is less important than love as far as marriage is concerned.C、Understanding is more important than love to some degree.D、Understanding is more often neglected in parenting relationship.64. If we are to understand our partners, we should firstly .A、have willingness to do soB、have love for themC、get into connection with themD、care about them65. In this passage, the expression “walk in the shoes of” is similar in meaning to .A、befriendB、understandC、loveD、care aboutPassage TwoFinally, the Christmas season is over. We can take a long breath, put up our feet, sip from a cup of good tea and relax. The frenzy, starting from Black Friday right after Thanksgiving until Christmas Ev e, of gift shopping, buying, wrapping, giving, receiving, opening, returning…is exhaustive and time-consuming, but it takes place every year.There is considerable difference between the cultures in China and western countries when it comes to gift giving. In China, it is not polite to open a gift in front of the gift giver, and the gift is only looked at after the guest has left. Here in America, gift givers always wrap their gifts, large or small, priceless or valueless, carefully decorate them with colorful ribbons and little pretty paper flowers; and the lucky receiver is expected to open the gift right away in front of the giver, with great eagerness and curiosity, and should always express appreciation with the all time truthful comment, “This is just exactly what I wanted!” Well, as a matter of fact, most people would take their “always wanted” gifts back to the store to exchange forsomething they really wanted.Finding a gift for somebody, even a close family member, you'll have to know what the person likes and shop for days before you can locate the perfect gift. But, still the person may not like the gift from you. Nowadays, stores would provide two copies of the receipts for anything they sell as a gift, one of which is included in the gift package so that the receiver can come back for an exchange. I know, it was unthinkable to cash out the gift you get, but, times are different. Another good way to avoid all that shopping hassle is to purchase a gift card from one of the stores and send it to your niece, nephews, or a family member, so that they can get whatever they want or even keep the money.66. Finding a gift for somebody is a(n) .A、easy jobB、tough taskC、must-be jobD、arranged task67. It is quite for Chinese people to open the gift in front of the givers.A、usualB、normalC、abnormalD、unusual68. Gift giving is the same thing in China and America in that .A、people spend a lot of time preparing a giftB、people would cash out the gift immediatelyC、people are eager to get a gift from a friendD、people are less willing to give gifts69. Which of the following is the author's suggestion?A、Open the gift immediately in front of the giver.B、Wrap the gift carefully.C、Express the appreciation for the gift you receive.D、Buying a present card to avoid the trouble in shopping70. The author's attitude towards gift giving is .A、indifferentB、protestingC、objectiveD、supportivePassage ThreeThey already guide blind and disabled people; now dogs are to be trained to help people with dementia(痴呆). The duties of these “guide dogs for the mind” will include reminding their owners to take medication, as well as encouraging them to eat, drink and sleep at regular intervals.The dementia dogs will be trained to respond to sound triggers in the home that prompt them to perform tasks. These could include delivering a bite-proof bag of medicine with a note inside reminding the patient to take it, or waking them up in the morning.The idea was developed by design students at the Glasgow School of Art and will now be put into practice by Alzheimer's Scotland and Dogs for the disabled.Joyce Gray of Alzheimer's Scotland said, “People in the early stages of dementia are still able to live a relatively nor mal life, and dogs help to maintain routine.”The other advantage of using the pets as companions is that conversation can be increasingly confusing for people with Alzheimer's, but dogs can give them a sense of silent support and companionship. People light up when they see animals. They don't need to communicate verbally but they can still interact. You can have a speechless bond.The dog would also encourage the owner to take them out for walks, ensuring they keep exercising and interacting with other people.71. As is mentioned in the passage, the guide dogs will do the following except for .A、helping ensure the owner doing some exercisesB、reminding the owner to take medicineC、communicating with the owner in a non-verbal wayD、helping the owner recover from the illness72. Who will train the dogs to perform such tasks?A、The students who developed the idea.B、The owners of the dogs.C、The experts in Alzheimer's Scotland.D、It is not mentioned in the passage.73. What is true about the people suffering from dementia?A、They would like to stay with other people.B、They can maintain routine.C、They will gradually lose the ability to live a normal life.D、They would like to talk in a different way.74. The guide dogs helping the people with dementia will .A、respond to the owners' orderB、respond to a sound deviceC、act on the owners' instructionsD、act on the trainers' order75. Having a conversation with people with dementia will be .A、difficultB、interestingC、confusingD、encouragingPassage FourIt seems obvious that you don't give away your product for free but this is exactly what indie rock group The Crimea did earlier this year. The band's reasoning goes like this: more people will download the free album than would pay for it. Therefore more people will hear The Crimea's music. These people will then pay money for concerts by the band and perhaps buy a T-shirt or other merchandise. If the band play regular concerts to crowds of 200 or 300 people they can make more money than they would from sales of a CD. There will always be some people who want something they can hold in their hands so they will release the CD into the shops too—but making money through sales of their music isn't the top priority. The story illustrates the creative thinking going on in the music business in response to dramatic changes over the last few years in the way that people buy music. Sales of musicdigitally—to computer, phones and MP3 players rose to＄2 billion in 2006—an increase of almost 100 percent on the previous year—yet overall record company sales are down. People are simply not buying CDs in record shops in anything like the numbers they used to.This trend looks set to continue, so the big question for the music industry is whether they can successfully manage the move to being primarily a digital industry without profits falling to unacceptable levels.There are both positive and negative signs. On the plus side, more and more people are buying music on mobile phones, which allows people to make impulse purchases—they can buy a song as soon as they hear it. Research by the UK mobile operator 3 suggested that 75 percent of 16 to 24-year-olds wanted to buy a track they liked as soon as they heard it.

Pony---trekking, climbing and fishing are also _47 , along with Scoland’s national game, golf. 48 enthusiasts are well rewarded---this is the home of the red deer, red squirrel and golden eager. If you don’t like the 49 to the highest point, some 2,000 meters 50 sea level, you can take the railway 51 gets you to the summit in less than ten minutes. 52 the west of the park is another popular natural 53 , Loch Ness. The lake is over 200 meters 54 in places, and salmon, trout and eels are in abundance here.Over the border in England is the Lake District, 55 made famous by Romantic poets such as William Wordsworth two hundred years ago. People have been56 here en mass since 1847 57 a railway was built to its biggest lake, Windermere. 58 in the past boats piled its waters 59 stone, timber and wood, today’s craft are more likely to carry 60 on pleasure cruises---over a million a year, in fact.41.A.to find B.to be found C.finding D.to have found42.A while B.As C.

As a psychologist for more than twenty years I can tell you that I have never had an adult looking back at her childhood and complaining that her parents were too understanding. And similarly, I have met many divorced people who still love each other but yet they never really understood each other.The painful reality is love is just not enough. I’ll admit that there are people who I love and who I still need to better understand. I hope I will continue my work to understand them. The willingness to understand is very important. It is not always easy,but healthy love is strengthened by the willingness to understand. Love without understanding will wilt like flowers without water.Our egos are what seem to get in the way of understanding those who we love and care about. Often it is our need to be right that makes what others think and feel so wrong for us. I have certainly been quite guilty of this in some of my relationships.As I have written repeatedly in my books, empathy , is truly the emotional glue that holds all close relationships together. Empathy allows us to slow down and try to walk in the shoes of those we love. The deeper our empathy, the deeper---the healthier---our love. Not all relationships are meant to be. Yet all relationships that are meant to flourish in a healthy way, must stress understanding just as much, if not more, than love.61.From the passage, we know that _____.A.the author complains about her parents’ being too understandingB.the author has been studying marriage for more than20 yearsC.People divorced mainly because they didn’t love each otherD.Some people divorced because they couldn’t understand each other62.Why are we unable to understand the others sometimes?A.Because we are caring the others too much.B. Because it is quite difficult to understand the others.C. Because we believe we are always rightD.Because the others have done something wrong63.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A.Understanding is more important to parenting relationships than to other intimate relationships.B.Understanding is less important than love as far as marriage is concerned.C.Understanding is more important than love to some degree.D.Understanding is more often neglected in parenting relationship.64.If we are to understand our parents, we should firstly _____.A.have willingness to do soB.have love for themC.get into connection with themD.care about them65.In this passage, the expression “walk in the shoes of” is similar in meaning to ____.A.befriendB.understandC.loveD.care aboutPassage TwoFinally, the Christmas season is over. We can take a long breath, put up our feet, sip from a cup of good tea and relax. The frenzy, starting from Black Friday right after Thanksgiving until Christmas Eve, of gift shopping, buying, wrapping, giving, receiving, opening, returning...is exhaustive and time---consuming, but it takes place every year.There is considerable difference between the cultures in China and western countries when it comes to gift giving. In China, it is not polite to open a gift in front of the gift giver, and gift is only looked at after the guest has left. Here in America, gift givers always wrap their gifts, large or small, priceless or valueless, carefully and decorate them with colorful ribbons and little pretty paper flowers; and the lucky receiver is expected to open the gift right away in front of the giver, with great eagerness and curiosity, and should always express appreciation with the all time truthful comment,“this is just exactly what I wanted!” Well, as a matter of fact, most people would take their“always wanted” gifts back to the store to exchange for something they really wanted.Finding a gift for somebody, even a close family member, you will have to know what the person likes and shop for days before you can locate the perfect gift. But , still the person may not like the gift from you. Nowadays, stores would provide two copies of the receipts for anything they sell as a gift, one of which is included in the gift packaged so that the receiver can come back for an exchange. I know, it was unthinkable to cash out gift you get, but, times are different. Another good way to avoid all that shopping hassle is to purchase a gift card from one of the stores and send it to your niece, nephews, or a family member, so that they can get whatever they want or even keep the money.66.Finding a gift for somebody is a(n) _____.A.easy jobB.tough taskC.must-be jobD.arranged task67.It is quite _____ for Chinese people to open the gift in front of the givers.ualB.normalC.abnormalD.unusual68.Gift giving is the same thing in China and America in that _____.A.people spend a lot of time preparing a giftB.People would cash out the gift immediatelyC.People are eager to open to get a gift from a friendD.People are less willing to give gifts.69.Which of the following is the author’s suggestion?A.Open a gift immediately in front of the giver.B.Wrap the gift carefully.C.Express the appreciation for the gift you receive.D.Buying a present card to avoid the trouble in shopping70.The author’s attitude towards gift giving is_____.A.indifferentB.protestingC.objectiveD.supportivePassage ThreeThey already guide blind and disabled people ;now dogs are to be trained to help people with dementia(痴呆).The duti es of these “guide dogs for the mind” will include reminding their owners to take medication, as well as encouraging them to eat , drink and sleep at regular intervals.The dementia dogs will be trained to respond to sound triggers in the home that prompt them to perform tasks .These could include delivering a bite-proof bag ofmedicine with a note inside reminding the patient to take it , or waking them up in the morning.The idea was developed by design students at the Glasgow School of Art and will now be put into practice by Alzheimer’s Seotland and Dogs for the disabled. Joyee Gray of Alzheimer’s Scotland said:“People in the early stages of dementia are still able to live a relative normal life , and dogs help to maintain routine .”The other advantage of using the pets as companions is that conversation can be increasingly confusing for people with Alzheimer’s ,but dogs can give them a sense of silent support and companionship . People light up when they can see animals .They don’t need to communicate verbally but they can still interact . You can have a speechless bond .The dog would also encourage the owner to take them out for walks ,ensuring they keep exercising and interacting with other people .71.As is mentioned in the passage ,the guide dogs will do the following except for ____ .A.helping ensure the owner doing some exercisesB.reminding the owner to take medicinemunicating with the owner in a non-verbal wayD.helping the owner recover from the illness72.Who will train the dogs to perform such tasks?A.The students who developed the idea.B.The owners of the dogs.C.The experts in Alzheimer’s Scotland .D.It is not mentioned in the passage .73.What is true about the people suffering from dementia?A.They would like to stay with other people.B.They can maintain routine .C.They will gradually lose the ability to live a normal life .D.They would like to talk in a different way .74.The guide dogs helping the people with dementia will ___.A.respond to the owners orderB.respond to a sound deviceC.act on the owners instructionsD.act on the trainers order75.Having a conversation with people with dementia will be ___.A.difficultB.interestingC.confusing D .encouragingPassage Four It seems obvious that you don’t give away your product for free but this is exactly what indie rock group The Crimea did earlier this year. The band’s reasoning goes like this: more people will download the free album than would pay for it. Therefore, more people will hear The Crimea’s music. These people will then pay money for concerts by the band and perhaps buy a T-shirt or other merchandise. If the band play regular concerts to crowds of 200 or 300 people they can make more money than they would from sales of CD. There will always be some people who want something they can hold in their hands so they will release the CD into the shops too---but making money through sales of their music isn’t the top priority.The story illustrates the creative thinking going on in their music in response to dramatic changes over the last few years in the way that people buy music. Sales of music digitally ---to computer, phone and MP3 players rose to $2 billion in 2006---an increase of almost 100percent on the previous year---yet overall record company sales are down. People are simply not buying CDs in record shops in anything like the numbers they used to.This trend looks set to continue so the big questions for the music industry is whether they can successfully manage the move to being primarily a digital industry without profits falling to unacceptable levels.There are both positive and negative signs. On the plus side, more and more people are buying music by mobile phones, which allows people to make impulse purchases---they can buy a song as soon as they hear it. Research by the UK mobile operator 3 suggested that 75 percent of 16 to 24-year-olds wanted to buy a track they liked as soon as they heard it. With so much competition for people’s disposable inco me, a product you can sell immediately is a big advantage.The bad news for the record companies, however, is the amount of music that is downloaded illegally. Piracy---usually in the form of cheaply copied CD---has long been an issue for the music business but the internet means music can be copied and distributed freelythrough file-sharing sites on a large scale than ever before.It is this situation that leads bands to start giving away their music for free and promises to make the next few years a very interesting time in the music business.76.What is unusual about the Crimea’s business plan ?A.Their business was given away free on the Internet .B.They gave CDs away free in shops .C.They played free concerts.D.They charged more for their CDs.77.The Crimea hope to make money___.A.through CD salesB.by giving concerts and selling T-shirts and other merchandiseC.by selling merchandise on the InternetD.through sales of merchandise in shops78.The Crimea also released CDs for sale in shops because ___.A.people who attend their concerts need themB.they want to make extra moneyC.there are still people who prefer CDs to other formatsD.people who fail to attend their concerts need them79.What is true about sales of music over the last year?A.Overall,sales are up on last year.B.Overall,sales are down on last year.C.There is no change compared to previous salesD.It is not mentioned in the passage.80.What effect has internet had on music piracy?A.It is made it easier to fight piracyB.It has increased the number of pirate CDs available.C.It has made it easier to illegally copy music.D.It has reduced the number of pirate CDs available.Part IV TranslationSection A81.她喜欢看书时听音乐。

Yet all relationships that are meant to flourish in a healthy way, must stress understanding just as much, if not more, than love.61.From the passage, we know that .A.the author complains about her parents’ being too understandingB.the author has been studying marriage for more than 20 yearsC.People divorced mainly because they didn’t love each otherD.Some people divorced because they couldn’t understand each other62.Why are we unable to understand the others sometimes?A.Because we are caring the others too much.B.Because it is quite difficult to understand the others.C.Because we believe we are always rightD.Because the others have done something wrong63.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A.Understanding is more important to parenting relationships than to other intimate relationships.B.Understanding is less important than love as far as marriage is concerned.C.Understanding is more important than love to some degree.D.Understanding is more often neglected in parenting relationship.64.If we are to understand our parents, we should firstly .A.have willingness to do soB.have love for themC.get into connection with themD.care about them65.In this passage, the expression “walk in the shoes of” is similar in meaning to .A.befriendB.understandC.loveD.care aboutPassage TwoFinally, the Christmas season is over. We can take a long breath, put up our feet, sip from a cup of good tea and relax. The frenzy, starting from Black Friday right after Thanksgiving until Christmas Eve, of gift shopping, buying, wrapping, giving, receiving, opening, returning...is exhaustive and time---consuming, but it takes place every year.There is considerable difference between the cultures in China and western countries when it comes to gift giving. In China, it is not polite to open a gift in front of the gift giver, and gift is only looked at after the guest has left. Here in America, gift givers always wrap their gifts, large or small, priceless or valueless, carefully and decorate them with colorful ribbons and little pretty paper flowers; and the lucky receiver is expected to open the gift right away in front of the giver, with great eagerness and curiosity, and should always express appreciation with the all time truthful comment,“this is just exactly what I wanted!” Well, as a matter of fact, most people would take their“always wanted” gifts back to the store to exchange for something they really wanted.Finding a gift for somebody, even a close family member, you will have to know what the person likes and shop for days before you can locate the perfect gift. But , still the person may not like the gift from you. Nowadays, stores would provide two copies of the receipts for anything they sell as a gift, one of which is included in the gift packaged so that the receiver can come back for an exchange. I know, it was unthinkable to cash out gift you get, but, times are different. Another good way to avoid all that shopping hassle is to purchase a gift card from one of the stores and send it to your niece, nephews, or a family member, so that they can get whatever they want or even keep the money.66.Finding a gift for somebody is a(n) .A.easy jobB.tough taskC.must-be jobD.arranged task67.It is quite for Chinese people to open the gift in front of the givers.ualB.normalC.abnormalD.unusual68.Gift giving is the same thing in China and America in that .A.people spend a lot of time preparing a giftB.People would cash out the gift immediatelyC.People are eager to open to get a gift from a friendD.People are less willing to give gifts.69.Which of the following is the author’s suggestion?A.Open a gift immediately in front of the giver.B.Wrap the gift carefully.C.Express the appreciation for the gift you receive.D.Buying a present card to avoid the trouble in shopping70.The author’s attitude towards gift giving is .A.indifferentB.protestingC.objectiveD.supportivePassage ThreeThey already guide blind and disabled people ;now dogs are to be trained to help people with dementia(痴呆).The duties of these “guide dogs for the mind” will include reminding their owners to take medication, as wellas encouraging them to eat , drink and sleep at regular intervals.The dementia dogs will be trained to respond to sound triggers in the home that prompt them to perform tasks .These could include delivering a bite-proof bag of medicine with a note inside reminding the patient to takeit , or waking them up in the morning.The idea was developed by design students at the Glasgow School of Art and will now be put into practice by Alzheimer’s Seotland and Dogs for the disabled.Joyee Gray of Alzheimer’s Scotland said:“People in the early stages of dementia are stil l able to live a relative normal life , and dogs help to maintain routine .”The other advantage of using the pets as companions is that conversation can be increasingly confusing for people with Alzheimer’s ,but dogs can give them a sense of silent support and companionship . People light up when theycan see animals .They don’t n eed to communicate verbally but they can still interact . You can have a speechless bond .The dog would also encourage the owner to take them out for walks ,ensuring they keep exercising and interacting with other people .71.As is mentioned in the passage ,the guide dogs will do the following except for .A.helping ensure the owner doing some exercisesB.reminding the owner to take medicinemunicating with the owner in a non-verbal wayD.helping the owner recover from the illness72.Who will train the dogs to perform such tasks?A.The students who developed the idea.B.The owners of the dogs.C.The experts in Alzheimer’s Scotland .D.It is not mentioned in the passage .73.What is true about the people suffering from dementia?A.They would like to stay with other people.B.They can maintain routine .C.They will gradually lose the ability to live a normal life .D.They would like to talk in a different way .74.The guide dogs helping the people with dementia will .A.respond to the owners orderB.respond to a sound deviceC.act on the owners instructionsD.act on the trainers order75.Having a conversation with people with dementia will be .A.difficultB.interestingC.confusing D .encouragingPassage FourIt seems obvious that you don’t give away your product for free but this is exactly what indie rock group The Crimea did earlier this year. The band’s reasoning goes like this: more people will download the free album than would pay for it. Therefore, more people will hear The Crimea’s music. These people will then pay money for concerts by the band and perhaps buy a T-shirt or other merchandise. If the band play regular concerts to crowds of200 or 300 people they can make more money than they would from sales of CD. There will always be some people who want something they can hold in their hands so they will release the CD into the shops too---but making money through sales of their music isn’t the top priority.The story illustrates the creative thinking going on in their music in response to dramatic changes over the last few years in the way that people buy music. Sales of music digitally ---to computer, phone and MP3 players rose to $2 billion in 2006---an increase of almost 100 percent on the previous year---yet overall record company sales are down. People are simply not buying CDs in record shops in anything like the numbers they used to.This trend looks set to continue so the big questions for the music industry is whether they can successfully manage the move to being primarily a digital industry without profits falling to unacceptable levels.There are both positive and negative signs. On the plus side, more and more people are buying music by mobile phones, which allows people to make impulse purchases---they can buy a song as soon as they hear it. Research by the UK mobile operator 3 suggested that 75 percent of 16 to 24-year-olds wanted to buy a track they liked as soon as the y heard it. With so much competition for people’s disposable income, a product you can sell immediately is a big advantage.The bad news for the record companies, however, is the amount of music that is downloaded illegally. Piracy--- usually in the form of cheaply copied CD---has long been an issue for the music business but the internet means music can be copied and distributed freely through file-sharing sites on a large scale than ever before.It is this situation that leads bands to start giving away their music for free and promises to make the next few years a very interesting time in the music business.76.What is unusual a bout the Crimea’s business plan ?A.Their business was given away free on the Internet .B.They gave CDs away free in shops .C.They played free concerts.D.They charged more for their CDs.77.The Crimea hope to make money .A.through CD salesB.by giving concerts and selling T-shirts and other merchandiseC.by selling merchandise on the InternetD.through sales of merchandise in shops78.The Crimea also released CDs for sale in shops because .A.people who attend their concerts need themB.they want to make extra moneyC.there are still people who prefer CDs to other formatsD.people who fail to attend their concerts need them79.What is true about sales of music over the last year?A.Overall,sales are up on last year.B.Overall,sales are down on last year.C.There is no change compared to previous salesD.It is not mentioned in the passage.80.What effect has internet had on music piracy?A.It is made it easier to fight piracyB.It has increased the number of pirate CDs available.C.It has made it easier to illegally copy music.D.It has reduced the number of pirate CDs available.Part IV TranslationSection A81.她喜欢看书时听音乐。

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 Answer Sheet .Passage 1Bananas are one of the world’ s most important food crops. They are also one of the most valuable exports. Bananas do not grow from seeds. Instead, they grow from existing plants. Bananas are threatened by disease because all the plants on a farm are copies of each other. They all share the same genetic weaknesses. For example, the Cavendish banana is most popular in North American and European markets. However ，some kinds of fungus organisms easily infect the Cavendish. Black Sigatoka disease affects the leaves of Cavendish banana plants. The disease is controlled on large farms by putting chemicals on the plant’s leaves. Farmers put anti -fungal chemicals on their crops up to once a week.Another fungal disease is more serious. Panama disease attacks the roots of the banana plant. There is no chemical treatment for this disease. Infected plants must be destroyed. Panama disease has affected crops in Southeast Asia, Australia and South Africa. There is concern that it may spread to bananas grown in the Americas. This could threaten an important export product for Central and South America.The International Network for the Improvement of Banana and Plantain supports research on bananas. The group has headquarters in France and other offices in the major banana-growing areas of the world. The group says that more research must be done to develop improved kinds of bananas. The group says that fungal diseases mainly affect only one kind of banana. In fact, there are five hundred different kinds of bananas. Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations has said that the Cavendish banana represents only 10% of world production.The U.N. agency says farmers should grow different kinds of bananas. This protects against diseases that affect only one kind. Experts warn that disease may cause the Cavendish banana to disappear. This happened earlier to another popular banana because of its genetic weakness against disease.61．What does this passage mainly tell us?A. Bananas are the world’ s most important food crops.B. The risk to a popular banana shows need to grow other kinds.C. There are five hundred different kinds of bananas.D. How to grow bananas in different countries.62．Bananas are threatened by disease because ________.A. they grow from seedsB. they are one of the most valuable exportsC. the only way to prevent it is to put chemicals on their leavesD. they have genetic weaknesses against disease63．Panama disease________.A. doesn’t belong to fungal diseaseB. affects the leaves of banana plantsC. destroys bananas more seriously than Black Sigatoka diseaseD. has spread to bananas all over the world64．We can infer from Paragraph 3 that ________.A. the center of the group is in the USB. the Cavendish banana covers only a small part of the yield of bananasC. the key to solving the disease is to research all kinds of bananasD. each fungal disease affects five hundred different kinds of bananas65．According to the passage, which information is right?A. The Cavendish banana can mainly be imported from North America and Europe.耶鲁专升本 5B. Panama disease affects the leaves of Cavendish banana plants.C. The Cavendish banana won’t die out in the future.D. The Cavendish banana makes up only one tenth of world production.Passage 2“Can I see my baby ？” the happy new mother asked. When the bundle was in her arms and she moved the fold of cloth to look upon his tiny face, she gasped. The doctor turned quickly and looked out of the tall hospital window. The baby had been born without ears.Time proved that the baby’ s hearing was perfect. It was only his appearance that was imperfect. When he rushed home from school one day and threw himself into his mother’s arms, she si ghed, knowing that his life was to be misfortunate. He cried out the tragedy, “A boy, a big boy... called me a freak (怪人)．”He grew up, handsome. A favourite with his fellow students, he might have been class president, but for that. He developed a gift, a talent for literature and music. “But you might communicate with other young people ，” his mother blamed him, but felt a kindness in her heart.Two years went by. One day, his father said to the son, “You’ re going to the hospital, son. Mother and I have s omeone who will donate the ears you need. But it’ s a secret.” The operation was a brilliant success, and a new person emerged.Later he married and entered the diplomatic service. One day, he asked his father, “Who gave me the ears? Who gave me so much? I could never do enough for him or her.” “I do not believe you could ，” said the father, “but the agreement was that you are not to know... not yet.”The years kept their secret, but the day did come. He stood with his father over his mother’ s casket. Slowly, tenderly, the father stretched forth a hand and raised the thick, reddish brown hair to reveal the mother had no outer ears.“Mother said she was glad she never let her hair be cut ，” his father whispered gently, “and nobody ever thought Mother less beautiful, did they ？”66．Why did Mother gasp when she saw her newborn baby?A. Because her son had a tiny face.B. Because she saw her son crying.C. Because her son was born imperfect.D. Because her son was in her arms.67．Which word can describe Mother’ s feeling when the son threw himself into her arms?A. Nervous.B. Sympathetic.C. Proud.D. Angry.68．Who gave the son the ears?A. A doctor.B. His father.C. His mother.D. A stranger.69．The underlined word “reveal” in the last but one paragraph means “________”．A. seeB. showC. findD. search70．The best title for the passage would be ________.A. Mother’s hairB. An unforgettable memoryC. Who gave me the ears?D. Who is my best respectable person?Passage 3When times get tough, we all look for ways to cut back. When we’re hungry, we eat at home instead of going out. We take buses instead of taxis. And we wear our old designer jeans just a few months longer. With college expenses at all-time highs, high school students are eager to do anything to cut the cost of a university education.One cost-cutting proposal is to allow college students to get a bachelor’ s degree in three years instead of four. Educational institutions have been actively exploring ways to make the learning process more efficient. But there’s a quest ion: Would the quality of undergraduate(本科生)education suffer? Few US universities have formally approved a “three -year degree” model.I doubt that mainstream North American colleges will carry out a three-year curriculum(课程) any time soon. For one thing, most universities already allow highly qualified students to graduate early by testing out of certain classes and obtaining a number of college credits(学分). In addition, at famous universities, the committee who determine which courses are required and whic h courses are electives are unlikely to suddenly “throw out” one quarter of the required credits. Professors will resist “diluting(稀释)” the quality of the education they offer.In my opinion, a quality four-year education is always superior to a quality three-year education. A college education requires sufficient time for a student to become skilled in their major and do coursework in fields耶鲁专升本 6outside their major. It is not a good idea to water down education, any more than it’ s not a good idea to water down medicine. If we want to help students find their way through university, we should help them understand early on what knowledge and skills they need to have upon graduation. We should allow students to test out of as many courses as possible. We should give them a chance to earn money as interns(实习生)in meaningful part-time jobs that relate to their university studies, such as the five-year co-op program at Northeastern University.71．Which of the following can be the best title?A. It’ s time to shorten t he learning processB. Best learning takes place over timeC. University education should be watered downD. College education calls for reform72．We can learn from the passage that ________.A. most American universities are against the “three -year degree ” modelB. many famous US universities are considering adopting the “three -year degree” modelC. professors are willing to accept the “three -year degree” modelD. The “three -year degree” model can make college learning more efficient73．In most US universities ，________.A. college students are offered the co-op programB. electives’ credits make up one quarter of the required creditsC. all students are required to finish four-year education before graduationD. some excellent students can graduate ahead of time74．We can infer that________.A. the author is a college professorB. the author thinks the cost of a university education is too high for people to affordC. the author considers the university education quality very importantD. the author pays special attention to the all-round development of college students75．The first paragraph serves as a(n)________．A. explanationB. definitionC. introductionD. commentPassage 4I once had my Chinese MBA students brainstorming on “two -hour bu siness plans”. I separated them into six groups and gave them an example: a restaurant chain. The more original their idea, the better, I said. Finally, five of the six groups presented plans for restaurant chains. The sixth proposed a catering(餐饮) service. Though I admitted the time limit had been difficult, I expressed my disappointment.My students were middle managers, financial analysts and financiers from state-owned enterprises and global companies. They were not without talent or opinions, but they had been shaped by an educational system that rarely stressed or rewarded critical thinking or inventiveness. The scene I just described came in different forms during my two years’ teaching at the school. Papers were often copied from the Web and the Harv ard Business Review. Case study debates were written up and just memorized. Students frequently said that copying is a superior business strategy, better than inventing and creating.In China ，every product you can imagine has been made and sold. But so few well-developed marketing and management minds have been raised that it will be a long time before most people in the world can name a Chinese brand.With this problem in mind, partnerships with institutions like Yale and MIT have been established. And then there’s the “thousand talent scheme ”： this new government program is intended to improve technological modernization by attracting top foreign trained scientists to the mainland with big money. But there are worries about China’s research environment. It’s hardly known for producing indepen dent thinking and openness, and even big salary offers may not be attractive enough to overcome this.At last, for China, becoming a major world creator is not just about setting up partnerships with top Western universities. Nor is it about gathering a group of well-educated people and telling them to think creatively. It’s about establishing a rich learning environment for young minds. It’s not that simple.76. Why does the author feel disappointed at his students?A. Because there is one group presenting a catering service.B. Because the six groups made projects for restaurant chains.C. Because all the students copied a case for the difficult topic.D. Because the students’ ideas were lacking in creativeness.耶鲁专升本 777. Which of the following scenes is NOT considered as lack of creation?A. Papers were often downloaded from the Internet.B. Students often said that copying is a preferable business strategy.C. Students combine knowledge and critical thoughts to solve a problem.D. Case study debates were written up as well as recited.78. The underlined word “scheme ” in the forth paragraph means________.A. timetableB. themeC. projectD. policy79. We can infer from the passage that________.A. China can make and sell any product all over the worldB . high pay may not solve the problem of China’s research environmentC. cooperation with institutions has been set up to make a Chinese brandD. the new government program are aimed at encouraging imagination80. Which is the best title of the passage?A. Look for a New Way of Learning.B. Reward Creative Thinking.C. How to Become a Creator.D.

As a psychologist for more than twenty years I can tell you thatI have never had an adult looking back at her childhood and complaining thather parents were too understanding. And similarly, I have met many divorcedpeople who still love each other but yet they never really understood eachother.The painful reality is love is just notenough. I’ll admit that there are people who I love and who I still need tobetter understand. I hope I’ll continue my work to understand them. The Lastwillingness to understand is very important. It is not always easy, but healthylove is strengthened by the willingness to understand. Love withoutunderstanding will wilt like flowers without water.Our egos are what seem to get in the way ofunderstanding those who we love and care about.Often it is our need to beright that makes what others think and feel so wrong for us. I have certainlybeen quite guilty of this in some of my relationships. As I have written repeatedly in my books,empathy, is truly the emotional glue that holds all close relationshipstogether. Empathy allows us to slow down and try to walk in the shoes of thosewe love. The deeper our empathy, the deeper---and healthier--- our love. Notall relationships are meant to be. Yet all relationships that are meant toflourish in a healthy way, must stress understanding just as much, if not more,than love.61. From the passage we know that_____.A. the author complains abouther parents’ being too understandingB. the author has been studying marriages for more than 20 yearsC. People divorced mainly because theydidn’t love each otherD. Some people divorced because theycouldn’t understand each other62. Whyare we unable to understand the others sometimes?A. Because we are caring the others toomuchB. Because it is quite difficultto understand the othersC. Because webelieve we are always rightD. Becausethe others have done something wrong63. Which of the following statements is true according to thepassage?A. Understanding is moreimportant to parenting relationship than to other intimate relationshipsB. Understanding is less important thanlove as far as marriage is concernedC. Understanding is more important than love to some degreeD. Understanding is more often neglected inparenting relationship64. If we are to understand our partners,we should firstly ____?A. Havewilling to do soB. Have love for themC. Get into connection with themD. Care about them65. In this passage, the expression “walkin the shoes of” is similar in meaning to_____.A. befriendB. understandC. loveD. careaboutPassage TwoFinally, the Christmas season is over. Wecan take a long breath, put up our feet, sip from a cup of good tea and relax.The frenzy, starting from Black Friday right after Thanksgiving until ChristmasEve, of gift shopping, buying, wrapping, giving, receiving, opening,returning...is exhaustive and time-consuming, but it takes place everyyear.There is considerable differencebetween the cultures in China and western countries when it comes to giftgiving, In China, it is not polite to open a gift in front of the gift giver,and gift is only looked at after the guest has left. Here in America, giftgivers always wrap their gifts, large or small,priceless or valueless, carefully and decorate them with colorful ribbons andlittle pretty paper flowers; and the lucky receiver is expected to open thegift right away in front of the giver, with great eagerness and curiosity, andshould always express appreciation with the all time truthful comment, “alwayswanted” gifts back to the store to exchange for something they really wanted.Finding a gift for somebody, even a closefamily member, you’ll have to know what the person likes and shop for daysbefore you can locate the perfect gift. But, still the person may not like thegift from you. Nowadays, stores would provide two copies of the receipts foranything they sell as a gift, one of which is included in the gift packaged sothat the receiver can come back for an exchange. I know, it was unthinkable tocash out gift you get, but, times are different. Another good way to avoid allthat shopping hassle is to purchase a gift card from one of the stores and sendit to your niece, nephews, or a family member, so that they can get whateverthey want or even keep the money.66.Finding a gift for somebody is a(n)_____.A. easy jobB. tough taskC. must-be jobD. arranged task67.It is quite ____for Chinese people to open the gift in front of thegivers.A. usualB. normalC. abnormalD. unusual68. Gift giving is the samething in China and America in that____A. people spend a lot of time preparing a giftB. people would cash out the giftimmediatelyC. people are eager toopen to get a gift from a friendD.people are less willing to give gifts69. Which of the following is the author’s suggestion?A. Open the gift immediately in front ofthe giverB. Wrap the giftcarefullyC. Express the appreciationfor the gift you receiveD. Buying apresent card to avoid the trouble in shopping70.The author’s attitude towards gift giving is_____.A.IndifferentB. protestingC. objectiveD. supportivePassage ThreeThey already guide blind and disabledpeople; now dogs are to be trained to help people with dementia（痴呆）.Theduties of these “guide dogs for the mind”will includereminding their owners to take medication, as well as encouraging them to eat,drink and sleep at regular intervals. The dementia dogs will be trained to respond to sound triggers in thehome that prompt them to perform tasks. These could include delivering abite-proof bag of medicine with a note inside reminding the patient to take it,or walking them up in the morning.The idea was developed by design studentsat the Glasgow School of Art and will now be put into practice by Alzheimer’sScotland and Dogs for the disabled.Joyce Gray of Alzheimer’s Scotland said: “people in the early stages ofdementia are still able to live a relative normal life, and dogs help tomaintain routine.”The other advantageof using the pets as companions is that conversation can be increasinglyconfusing for people with Alzheimer’s ,but dogs can give them a sense of silentsupport and companionship. People light up when they see animals. They don’tneed to communicate verbally but they can still interact. You can have aspeechless bond.The dog would alsoencourage the owner to take them out for walks, ensuring they keep exercisingand interacting with other people.71.As is mentioned in the passage, the guide dogs will do the following except for_______.A. helping ensure the ownerdoing some exercisesB. reminding the owner to takemedicineC. Communicating with theowner in a non-verbal wayD. Helpingthe owner recover from the illness72.Who will train the dogs to perform such tasks?A. The students who developed the idea.B.The owners of the dogs.C. The expertsin Alzheimer’s Scotland.D. It is not mentioned in the passage.73. What is true about the people sufferingfrom dementia?A. They would like tosay with other people.B. They canmaintain routine.C. They willgradually lose the ability to live a normal life.D. They would like to talk in a differentway.74. The guide dogs helping thepeople with dementia will _______.A. respond to the owners orderB. respond to a sound deviceC. act on the owners instructionsD. act on the trainers order75. Having a conversation with people withdementia will be _______.A. difficultB. interestingC. confusingD. encouragingPassage FourIt seems obviousthat you don’t give away your product for free but this is exactly what indierock group the Crimea did earlier this year. The Crimea did earlier this year.The band’s reasoning goes like this: more people will download the free albumthan would pay for it. Therefore more people will hear The Crimea’s music.These people will then pay money for concerts by the band and perhaps buy aT-shirt or other merchandise. If the band play regular concerts to crowds of200 or 300 people the can make more money than they would from sales of a CD.There will always be some [people who want something they can hold in theirhands so they will release the CD into the shops too-- but making money throughsales of their music isn’t the top priority.The story illustrates the creative thinking going on in the musicbusiness in response to dramatic changes over the last few years in the waythat people buy music. Sales of music digitally --to computer, phones and MP3players rose to $2 billion in 2006 -- an increase of almost 100 percenton theprevious year -- yet overall record company sales are down. People are simplynot buy CDs in record shops in anything like the numbers the\y used to.This trend looks set to continue so the bigquestion for the music industry is whether they can successfully manage themove to being primarily a digital industry without profits falling tounacceptable levels.There are both positiveand negative signs. On the plus side, more and more people are buying music onmobile phones, which allows people to make impulse purchases -- they can buy asong as soon as they hear it. Research by the UK Mobile operator 3 suggestedthat 75 percent of 16 to 24-year-olds wanted to buy a track they liked as soonas they heard it. With so much competition for people’s disposable income, aproduct that you can sell immediately is a big advantage. The bad news for record companies, however,is the mount of music that is downloaded illegally. Piracy --- usually in theform of cheaply copied CD ---has long been an issue for the music business butthe internet means music can be copied and distributed freely throughfile-sharing sites on a large scale than ever before.It is this situation that leads bands tostart giving away their music for free and promises to make the next few yearsa very interesting time in the music business.76. What is unusual about the Crimea’sbusiness plan?A. Their business wasgiven away free on the Internet.B.They give CDs away free in shops.C.They played free concerts.D. Theycharged more for their CDs.77. TheCrimea hope to make money _______.A. through CD salesB. by giving concerts and selling T-shirtsand other merchandiseC. by sellingmerchandise on the internetD. thoughsales of merchandise in shops78. TheCrimea also released CDs for sale in shops because _______.A. People who attend their concerts needthemB. they want to make extramoneyC. there are still people whoprefer CDs to other formatsD. Peoplewho fail to attend their concerts need them79. What is true about sales of music over the last year?A. overall, sales are up on last year.B. .overall, sales are down on last year.C.there is no change compared to previous sales.D. It is not mentioned in the passage.80. What effect has the internet had onmusic piracy?A. It has made it easierto fight piracy.B. It has increasedthe number of pirate CDs available.C.It has made it easier to illegally copy music.D. It has reduced the number of pirate CDsavailable.Part IV Translation81. 她喜欢看书时听音乐。

We can take a long breath, put up our feet, sip from a cup of good tea and relax. The frenzy, starting from Black Friday right after Thanksgiving until Christmas Ev e, of gift shopping, buying, wrapping, giving, receiving, opening, returning…is exhaustive and time-consuming, but it takes place every year.There is considerable difference between the cultures in China and western countries when it comes to gift giving. In China, it is not polite to open a gift in front of the gift giver, and the gift is only looked at after the guest has left. Here in America, gift givers always wrap their gifts, large or small, priceless or valueless, carefully decorate them with colorful ribbons and little pretty paper flowers; and the lucky receiver is expected to open the gift right away in front of the giver, with great eagerness andcuriosity, and should always express appreciation with the all time truthful comment, “This is just exactly what I wanted!”Well, as a matter of fact, most people would take their “always wanted” gifts back to the store to exchange forsomething they really wanted.Finding a gift for somebody, even a close family member, you'll have to know what the person likes and shop for days before you can locate the perfect gift. But, still the person may not like the gift from you. Nowadays, stores would provide two copies of the receipts for anything they sell as a gift, one of which is included in the gift package so that the receiver can come back for an exchange. I know, it was unthinkable to cash out the gift you get, but, times are different. Another good way to avoid all that shopping hassle is to purchase a gift card from one of the stores and send it to your niece, nephews, or a family member, so that they can get whatever they want or even keep the money.66.

The author's attitude towards gift giving is .A、indifferentB、protestingC、objectiveD、supportivePassage ThreeThey already guide blind and disabled people; now dogs are to be trained to help people with dementia(痴呆). The duties of these “guide dogs for the mind” will include reminding their owners to take medication, as well as encouraging them to eat, drink and sleep at regular intervals.The dementia dogs will be trained to respond to sound triggers in the home that prompt them to perform tasks.

Having a conversation with people with dementia will be .A、difficultB、interestingC、confusingD、encouragingPassage FourIt seems obvious that you don't give away your product for free but this is exactly what indie rock group The Crimea did earlier this year. The band's reasoning goes like this: more people will download the free album than would pay for it. Therefore more people will hear The Crimea's music. These people will then pay money for concerts by the band and perhaps buy a T-shirt or other merchandise. If the band play regular concerts to crowds of 200 or 300 people they can make more money than they would from sales of a CD. There will always be some people who want something they can hold in their hands so they will release the CD into the shops too—but making money through sales of their music isn't the top priority. The story illustrates the creative thinking going on in the music business in response to dramatic changes over the last few years in the way that people buy music. Sales of musicdigitally—to computer, phones and MP3 players rose to＄2 billion in 2006—an increase of almost 100 percent on the previous year—yet overall record company sales are down. People are simply not buying CDs in record shops in anything like the numbers they used to.This trend looks set to continue, so the big question for the music industry is whether they can successfully manage the move to being primarily a digital industry without profits falling to unacceptable levels.There are both positive and negative signs. On the plus side,more and more people are buying music on mobile phones, which allows people to make impulse purchases—they can buy a song as soon as they hear it. Research by the UK mobile operator3 suggested that 75 percent of 16 to 24-year-olds wanted to buya track they liked as soon as they heard it. With so much competition for people's disposable income, a product that you can sell immediately is a big advantage.The bad news for record companies, however, is the amount of music that is downloaded illegally. Piracy—usually in the form of cheaply copied CD—has long been an issue for the music business but the Internet means music can be copied and distributed freely through file-sharing sites on a larger scale than ever before.It is this situation that leads bands to start giving away their music for free and promises to make the next few years a very interesting time in the music business.76. What is unusual about the Crimea's business plan?A、Their business was given away free on the Internet.B、They gave CDs away free in shops.C、They played free concerts.D、They charged more for their CDs.77.

Reading Comprehension (60 points)Directions:There are four reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by five ques tions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose one best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneWhat’s the best way to protect a tender, green seedling from the hungry stomach of deer? Give the seedling bad breath!The same chemical that gives people bad breath after they have eaten garlic can s ave small trees from being eaten by animals.A kind of chemical selenium(硒), which is also found in garlic, is planted in the soil near a young tree. The tree’s roots absorb the selenium which is then carried to t he leaves.From there the selenium is used to form a chemical called dimethyl selenide (乙烷硒化物)—the same chemical made in the human mouth after eating garlic. As deer wander around looking for food, they smell the seedlings’ leaves and leave the plan ts alone.The selenium is important. Why? Because each year deer eat millions of dollars’ wo rth of trees farm seedlings.So far, selenium has been tested only on Douglas fir (枞树) seedlings, but research ers think they could protect fruit trees and garden plants, too.61. When people eat garlic, ________.A. they send out a horrible smellB. they are out of breathC. they will feel sickD. it is hard for them to breathe62. According to this passage the bad smell given off from those leaves is that of ______.A. the young trees absorb garlicB. the roots of the young trees smell like garlicC. the young trees aren’t fit for the deer to eatD. the leaves of the young trees smell like garlic64. Up till the time the news was announced, this kind of chemical was used ____ ___.A. all over the worldB. all over the United StatesC. on fruit trees and garden treesD. on Douglas fir young trees65. The best title of this passage is ________.A. Hungry Deer and Young TreesB. Why Don’t Deer Eat Young Fruit TreesC. Plants Saved by “Bad Breath”D. How to Protect Young TreesPassage TwoHair loss is one of those things we still do not understand. Science has, of course, shown that men are more likely than women to suffer major hair loss. Some kinds of hair loss are temporary (暂时的), an effect of illness. In those cases we can exp ect the hair to grow back.It all depends on whether the hair root is alive. If it is not, hair loss is permanent and nothing will help.Some daily loss of hair is a normal, healthy sign. Most people lose between 40 to 50 scalp hairs each day.Each of these scalp hairs grows for from two to six years and then rests. About thr ee months later it is pushed out by a new hair growing from the same root.This is not something that should cause great concern.Something else we know is that normal hair loss is seasonal, with the most hair los s occurring in the fall. Everyone experiences a normal cycle of loss and growth. The problem of hair loss results when loss is greater than growth.The main cause of hair loss in men seems to be accumulation (积累) of a hormone(荷尔蒙) in the body. When that hormone reaches a certain level, the hair growing period is shortened and hair loss is the result. This is no cure for most cases of h air loss. This, however, is not the end of the world.66. According to science, _________.A. hair loss is a normal, healthy signB. man should pay special attention to hair lossC. it’s likely that men have more problems of hair lossD. men lose more hair than women do67. The writer thinks _______.A. illness causes hair lossB. human beings have no way to cure hair lossC. hair loss happening in the fall is an effect of illnessD. hair loss is permanent68. We now know that the most hair loss happening in the autumn is ________.A. permanentB. healthy signC. seasonalD. nothing serious69. The sentence “This, however, is not the end of the world” means _______.A. man is sure to find the best way of curing his hair loss in the futureB. the writer believes the earth exists for everC. w e can’t destroy the world by any meansD. the last day will never come to our people70. The best title for the passage may be ________.A. Loss or GrowthB. Hair LossC. Healthy SignD. Change with Seasons Passage ThreeOn the morning of November 18,1755, an earthquake shook Boston, Massachusetts. John Winthrop, a professor at Harvard College, felt the quake and awoke. “I rose,”Winthrop wrote, “and lighting a candle, looked on my watch, and found it was 15 minutes after four.” John Winthrop went down stairs to the grandfather clock. It ha d stopped four minutes before, at 4:11. Except for stopping the clock, the quake h ad only thrown a key from the mantel (壁炉台) to the floor.The clock had stopped because Winthrop had put some long glass tubes he was using for an experiment into the case for care. The quake had knocked the tubes ove r and blocked the pendulum (钟摆). Winthrop, therefore, had the exact time that th e earthquake had hit Boston. He looked at the key on the floor. The quake had thr own it forward in the direction of the quake’s motion (运动) by a shock coming fro m the northwest, perhaps in Canada.71. The text proves that _______.A. the power of nature is terribleB. earthquakes happen most often during nighttime hoursC. the direction of an earthquake can be discoveredD. universities study the cause of earthquakes72.

The earthquake happened ________.A. several minutes before the professor awokeB. and the professor awoke at 4:1 5C. in the centre of BostonD. when John Winthrop felt it75. Choose the right order according to the text.a. The bed was shaking and John Winthrop awoke.b. John Winthrop looked attentively at this watch.c. John Winthrop got up to light a candle.d. The earthquake happened in Boston in 1755.e. John Winthrop knew the quake’s direction.f. John Winthrop knew the exact quake’s time.g. John Winthrop looked at the key on the floor.A. g, d, e, a, c, b, fB. d, a, c, b, f, g, eC. a, e, d, c, b, f, gD. e, d, g, b, c, a, fPassage FourOceanography has been defined as “The application of all sciences to the study of t he sea”.Before the nineteenth century scientists with an interest in the sea were few and fa r between. Certainly Newton considered some theoretical aspects of it in his writing s, but he was reluctant to go to sea to further his work.For most people the sea was remote, and with the exception of early intercontinent al travelers or others who earned a living from the sea, there was little reason to a sk many questions about it, let alone to ask what lay beneath the surface. The first time that the question “What is at the bottom of the oceans?” had to be answere d with any commercial consequence was when the laying of a telegraph cable from Europe to America was proposed. The engineer had to know the depth profile (起伏形状) of the route to estimate the length of cable that had to be manufactured. It was to Maury of the US Navy that the Atlantic Telegraph Company turned, in 18 53, for information on this matter. In the 1840s, Maury had been responsible for e ncouraging voyages during which soundings (测水深) were taken to investigate the depths of the North Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Later, some of his findings aroused much popular interest in his book The Physical Geography of the Sea.The cable was laid, but not until 1866 was the connection made permanent and rel iable. At the early attempts, the cable failed and when it was taken out for repairs it was found to be covered in living growths, a fact which defied contemporary scie ntific opinion that there was no life in deeper parts of the sea.Within a few years oceanography was under way. In 1872 Thomson led a scientific expedition (考察), which lasted for four years and brought home thousands of sam ples from the sea. Their classification and analysis occupied scientists for years and led to five-volume report, the last volume being published in 1895.76. The proposal to lay a telegraph cable from Europe to America made oceanogra phic studies take on ________.A. an academic aspectB. a military aspectC. a business aspectD. an international aspect77. It was ________ that asked Maury for help in oceanographic studies.A. the American NavyB. some early intercontinental travelersC. those who earned a living from the seaD. the company which proposed to lay an undersea cable78. The aim of the voyages Maury was responsible for in the 1840s was _______.A. to make some sounding experiments in the oceansB. to collect samples of sea plants and animalsC. to estimate the length of cable that was neededD. to measure the depths of the two oceans79. “Defied” in the 5th paragraph probably means “________”.A. doubtedB. gave proof toC. challengedD. agreed to80. This passage is mainly about _______.A. the beginnings of oceanographyB. the laying of the first undersea cableC. the investigation of ocean depthsD. the early intercontinental communications Ⅴ.

Boys typically like to play with cars and trucks, while girls typically choose to play with dolls. Why is this? A traditional sociological explanation is that boys and girls are socialized and encouraged to play with different types of toys by their parents, peers, and the “society”. Growing scientific evidence suggests, however, that boys? and girls? toy preferences may have a biological origin.In 2002, Gerianne M. Alexander of Texas A&M University and Melissa Hines of City University in London surprised the scientific world by showing that monkeys showed the same sex typical toy preferences as humans. In the study, Alexander and Hines gave two masculine toys (a ball and a police car), two feminine toys (a soft doll and a cooking pot), and two neutral toys (a picture book and a stuffed dog) to 44 male and 44 female monkeys. They then assessed the monkeys? preference for each toy by measuring how much time they spent with each. Their data showed that male monkeys showed significantly greater interest in the masculine toys, and the female monkeys showed significantly greater interest in the feminine toys. The two sexes did not differ in their preference for the neutral toys.If children? s toy preferences were largely formed by gender socialization, as traditiona l sociologists? claim, in which their parents give “gender appropriate” toys to boys and girls, how can these male and female monkeys have the same preferences as boys and girls？They were never socialized by humans, and they had never seen these toys before in their lives.61．Traditional sociologists believe boys? and girls? toy preferences ________.A. are passed down from their parentsB. have a biological originC. have nothing to do with gender socializationD. are largely formed in later life62．The study by Alexander and Hines shows that monkeys________.A. also play toys as humans doB. also have a sex typical toy preferenceC. have no toy preferencesD. like to play different toys at different time63．Alexander and Hines carried out the study to ________.A. find out why boys and girls prefer different toysB. test the intelligence of monkeysC. test whether monkeys like to play toysD. find more evidence for traditional sociology64．According to the study, if given a stuffed dog, ________.A. only the male monkeys showed interestB. the female monkeys showed more interestC. the male and female monkeys showed the same interestD. neither the male nor the female monkeys showed any interest65．Masculine toys are mainly intended for________.A. monkeysB. adultC. boysD. girlsPassage 2When Steve Maxwell graduated from college, he had an engineering degree and a high tech job —but he couldn?t balance his checkbook. “I took one finance class in college but dropped it to go on a ski trip，” sa ys the 45 year old father of three, who lives in Windsor, Colorado. “I actually had to go to my bank and ask them to teach me how to read my statement.”One of the biggest obstacles to making money is not understanding it: Thousands of us avoid investing b ecause we just don?t get it. But to make money, you must be financially literate. “It bothered me that I didn?t understand this stuff，” says Steve, “so I read books and magazines about money management and investing, and I asked every financial whiz (能⼿) I knew to explain things to me.”He and his wife started applying the lessons: They made a point to live below their means. They never bought on impulse, always negotiated better deals (on their cars，cable bills, furniture) and stayed in their home long after they went for an expensive vacation. They also put 20 percent of their annual salary into investments.Within ten years, they were millionaires, and people were coming to Steve for advice. “Someone would say, …I need to refinance my house —what should I do? …A lot of times，I wouldn?t know the answer, but I?d go to find it and learn something in the process，” he says.In 2003, Steve quit his job to become part owner of a company that holds personal finance seminars (研讨会) for employees of corporations like Wal Mart. He also started going to real estate investment seminars, and it?s paid off: He now owns $ 30 million worth of investment properties, including apartment complexes, a shopping mall and a quarry.“I was an engineer who never thought this life wa s possible, but all it truly takes is a little self education，” says Steve. “You can do anything once you understand the basics.”66.

Lisa, 25, had a lot to do at work, plus visitors on the way: her parents were coming in for Thanksgiving from her hometown. But as she hurried down the subway stairs, she started to feel uncomfortably warm. By the time she got to the platform，Lisa felt weak and tired —maybe it hadn?t been a good idea to give blood th e night before, she thought. She rested herself against a post close to the tracks.Several yards away, Frank ,43, and his girlfriend, Jennifer，found a spot close to where the front of the train would stop. They were deep in discussion about a house they were thinking of buying.But when he heard the scream, followed by someone yelling，“Oh, my God, she fell in！”Frank didn?t hesitate. He jumped down to the tracks and ran some 40 feet toward the body lying on the rails. “No ! Not you ! ”his girlfriend screame d after him.She was right to be alarmed. By the time Frank reached Lisa，he could feel the tracks shaking and see the light coming. The train was about 20 seconds from the station.It was hard to lift her. She was just out. But he managed to raise her the four feet to the platform so that bystanders could hold her by the arms and drag her away from the edge. That was where Lisa briefly regained consciousness，felt herself being pulled along the ground，and saw someone else holding her purse.Lisa thought she?d been robbed. A woman held her hand and a man gave his shirt to help stop the blood pouring from her head. And she tried to talk but she couldn?t，and that was when she realized how much pain she was in.Police and fire officials soon arrived, and Frank told the story to an officer. Jennifer said her boyfriend was calm on their 40 minute train ride downtown—just as he had been seconds after the rescue，which made her think about her reaction at the time. “I saw the train coming and I was thinking he was going to die，” she explained.71．What was the most probable cause for Lisa?s weakness?A.

The promoters of such products say they can shape the legs, slim the face, smooth wrinkles，or in some other way add to beauty or desirability.Often such products are nothing more than money-making things for their promoters. The results they produce arequestionable, and some are dangerous to health.To understand how these products can be legally promoted to the public，it is necessary to understand something of the laws covering their regulation. If the product is a drug, FDA ( Food and Drug Administration) can require proof(证明) under the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act that it is safe and effective before it is put on the market. But if the product is adevice，FDA has no authority to require pre-marketing proof of safety or effectiveness. If a product already on the market is a danger to health, FDA can request the producer or distributor to remove it from the market voluntarily, or it can take legal action, including seizure (查封) of the product.One notable case a few years ago involved an electrical device called the Relaxacisor, which had been sold for reducing the waistline. The Relaxacisor produced electrical shocks to the body through contact pads. FDA took legal action against the distributor to stop the sale of the devices on the grounds that it was dangerous to health and life.Obviously, most of the devices on the market have never been the subject of court proceedings(法律诉讼), and new devices appear continually. Before buying, it is up to judge the consumer to judge the safety or effectiveness of such items.76. It can be inferred that the ads mentioned in the text are________.A. objectiveB. costlyC. unreliableD. illegal77. Which of the following is true according to the text?A．The court is in charge of removing dangerous products.B. New products are more likely to be questionable.C. The production of a device must be approved by FDA.D. The promoters usually just care about profits.78. FDA can ask for the proof of safety and effectiveness of a product________.A. if it is a drugB. if it is a deviceC. if its consumers make complaintsD. if its distributors challenge FDA?s authority79. The Relaxacisor is mentioned as________.A. a product which was designed to produce electricityB. a product whose distributor was involved in a legal caseC. a successful advertisement of a beauty productD. an example of a quality beauty product80.
