You are required to make the correct choice and write the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Many post-80s couples are complaining that going to the movies, shopping or attending parties have become impossible since their kids were born. That' s the way most parents are living their lives, no weekends of their own, no time to visit friends, not even a chance of promotion in their jobs.Asking help from their parents might be a way out,but problems are that some aging parents are not strong enough to take care of the kids, and that the kids may also become too spoiled by their grandparents.Then, here comes a solution: families with kids can form a small group, and parents of each family can take turns to look after all the kids in this group on weekends. Thus, other parents can have some quiet time and feel free to do something they' ve been planning for a long time. At the same time, the kids can make new friends and won' t be hanging around their parents all day long. This is baby-pooling.46.

But there is much that can be done to minimize damage and loss of life. Measures that can be taken include designing solid buildings, and developing early-waming systems, public education programs and evacuation(疏散) strategies. Moreover, the approach of a tsunami is possibly picked up by the sensors of complicated international waming systems. Countries can use radio and television broadcasts as well as loudspeaker networks to warn the public.But an early waming system depends on how far the tsunami strikes, if it' s close by, the warning system is not going to be very effective. When people are faced with an unstoppable force like a tsunami the massive waves created by events like underwater earthquakes, the best course of action for them is to get inland and to the higher ground as quickly as possible.51. The first paragraph tells us that .A. man can easily defeat the natureB. tsunamis take place only in JapanC. man' s ability to cope with natural disasters is limitedD. the tsunami-damage in Japan is not so terrible52.

Several people connect over the Internet and agree to contact a seller of a specific product so that they can buy the same item as a group at a lower price. And the sellers benefit by selling many products at once.When people agree on group buying,individual members of the buying group can vouch for (替………担保)a particular seller’s quality to the rest of the group,therefore Tuangou helps of similar phenomena in Euroupe and NorthAmerica.However,most of the group buying in these places is organized and done not by the team members themselves,but through online go-betweens.56.

For example, many Japanese do not show their emotions as freely as Americans do, so teachers in the United States sometimes have trouble knowing whether their Japanese students understand and enjoy their lessons.Another example is the smile. As a common facial expression, it may show affection, convey politeness, or disguise(掩饰) true feelings. But in different cultures. smiles have different meanings. Many people in Russia consider smiling at strangers in public to be unusual and even a suspicious behavior.Yet many Americans smile freely at strangers in public places, for American culture a smile is typically an expression of pleasure. Therefore some Russians believe that Americans smile in the wrong places; some Americans believe that Russians don' t smile enough. In Southeast Asian cultures, a smile is frequently used to cover emotional pain or embarrassment. Vietnamese people may tell the sad story of how they had to leave their country but end the story with a smile.61. The best title for this passage is .A. Russian CultureB.American CultureC.

Friends play an important part in our lives, but we don't know much about how to make friends. As we get to know people, we consider things like age, races, looks and social positions. Thus it is more difficult for people to become friends if there is a big difference in age and background. However, some people don't think these factors are of the most importance.Part V Writing( 25 points)Directions: According to the given information,you are required to write A Letter to a Friend in about 1OO words.

Translate the following paragraph into Chinese: (10 points)Rummaging through the fruit and veg section of my local supermarket, reading the country of origin labels, I am bewildered by the geography of it all. That the fruits of the earth should all be laid out on tidy shelves in this provincial corner of Britain would have been unthinkable a few years ago, yet now it is taken for granted.Once strange and exotic fruits that only the rich could afford, if not now part of everyone’s diet, are certainly part of our everyday shopping experience. So much so that instead of focusing on the novel, I am drawn to the commonplace. Here, among the “humble”vegetables, something strange and disturbing is going on.V. Translate the following sentences into English: (10*3points=30points)1. ⼥孩横穿马路时被汽车撞倒.(to knock over).2. 这群年轻⼈听了这则笑话哄堂⼤笑.(to roar with).3. 她很不善于见什么⼈说什么话.( to have no knack for).4. 驾驶员违反交通规则,除了罚款之外,还有别的处罚办法吗?(alternative to)5. 为了安全起见,车上每个⼈都必须系上安全带.(for the sake of).6. 我们费了九⽜⼆虎之⼒将门弄开.(to have …job to do).7. 这个沙发⼀拉开,就可变成床.(to convert into).8. 成年⼈学习外语的困难之⼀是母语的⼲扰.(to interfere with).9. 许多困在⼭洞⾥的⼈在救援队赶到之前就死了.(to trap).10. 我突然明⽩他原来是想帮助我.(to dawn on).VI. Reading Comprehension (38 points)Passage 1Clearly if we are to participle in the society in which we live we must communicate with other people. A great deal of communicating is performed on a person-to-person basis by the simple means of speech. If we travel in buses, buy things in shops, or eat in restaurants, we are likely to have conversations where we give information or opinions, receive news or comment, and very likely have our views challenged by other members of society.Face-to-face contact is by no means the only form of communication and during the last two hundred years the art of mass communication has become of one of the dominating factors of contemporary society. Two things, above others, have caused the enormous growth of the communication industry. Firstly, inventiveness has led to advances in printing, telecommunications, photography, radio and television. Secondly, speed has revolutionized the transmission and reception of communications so that local news often takes a back seat to national news, which itself is often almost eclipsed by international news.No longer is the possession of information confined to a privileged minority. In the last century the wealthy man with his own library was indeed fortunate, but today there are public libraries. Forty years ago people used to flock to the cinema, but now far more people sit at home and turn on the TV to watch a programme that is being channeled into millions of homes. Communication is no longer merely concerned with the transmission of information. The modern communication industry influences the way people live in society and broadens their horizons by allowing access to information, education and entertainment. The printing, broadcasting and advertising industries are all involved with informing,educating and entertaining.Although a great deal of the material communicated by the mass media is very valuable to the individual and to the society of which he is a part, the vast modern network of communications is open to abuse. However, the mass media are with us for better, for worse, and there is no turning back.1. In the first paragraph the writer emphasizes the _________ of face-to-face contact in social settings.A natureB limitationC usefulnessD creativity2. It is implied in the passage that_______A local news used to be the only source of informationB local news still takes a significant placeC national news is becoming more popularD international news is the fastest transmitted news3. which of the following statement is INCORRECT?A To possess information used to be a privilegeB Public libraries have replaced private librariesC Communication means more than transmissionD Information influences ways of life and thinking4.From the last paragraph we can infer that the writer is________.A indifferent to the harmful influence of the mass mediaB happy about the drastic changes in the mass mediaC pessimistic about the future of the mass mediaD concerned about the wrong use of the mass mediaPassage 2I am one of the many city people who are always saying that given the choice we would prefer to live in the country away from the dirt and noise of a large city. I have managed to convince myself that it weren’t for my job I would immediately head out for the open spaces and go back to nature in some sleepy village buried in the country. But how realistic is the dream? Cities can be frightening places. The majority of the population live in massive tower blocks, noisy, dirty and impersonal. The sense of belonging to a community tends to disappear when you live fifteen floors up. All you can see from your window issky, or other blocks of flats. Children become aggressive and nervous—cooped up at home all day, with nowhere to play; their mothers feel isolated from the rest of the world. Strangely enough whereas in the past the inhabitants of one street all knew each other, nowadays people on the same floor in tower blocks don’t even say hello to each other.Country life, on the other hand, differs from this kind of isolated existence in that a sense of community generally binds the inhabitantsof small villages together. People have the advantage of knowing that there is always someone to turn to when they need help. But country life has disadvantages too. While it is true that you may be among friends in a village, it is also true that you are cut off from the existing and important events that take place in cities. There’s little possibility of going to a new show or the latest movie. Shopping becomes a major problem, and for anything slightly out of the ordinary you have to go on and expedition to the nearest large town. The city-dweller who leaves for the country is often oppressed by a sense of unbearable stillness and quiet.What, then, is the answer? The country has the advantage of peace and quiet, but suffers from the disadvantage of being cut off; the city breeds a feeling of isolation, and constant noise batters the senses. But one of its main advantages is that you are at the center of things, and that life doesn’t come to an end at half-past nine at night. Some people have found (or rather bought) a compromise between the two; they have expressed their preference for the “quiet life” by leaving the suburbs and moving to villages within commuting distance of large cities. They generally have about as much sensitivity as the plastic flowers they leave behind — they are polluted with strange ideas about change and improvement which they force on to the unwilling original inhabitants of the villages.What then of my dreams of leaning on a cottage gate and murmuring “morning” to the locals as they pass by? I’m keen on the idea, but you see there’s my cat, Toby, I’m not at all sure that he would take to all that fresh air and exercise in the long grass, I mean, can you see him mixing with all those hearty males down the farm? No, he would rather have the electric imitation-coal fire any evening.5. We get the impression from the first paragraph that the authorA used to live in the countryB used to work in the cityC works in the cityD lives in the country6. In the author’s opinion, the following may cause city people to be unhappy EXCEPTA a strong sense of fearB lack of communicationC housing conditionsD a sense of isolation7. The passage implies that it is easy to buy the following things in the country EXCEPTA daily necessitiesB fresh fruitsC designer clothesD fresh vegetables8. According to the passage, which of the following adjectives best describes those people who work in large cities and live in villages?A OriginalB QuietC ArrogantD Insensitive9. Do you think the author will move to the country?A Yes, he will do soB No, he will not do soC It is difficult to tellD He is in two mindsPassage 3Ideas about education are changing in the United States. Education todayis not just a high school diploma or a college degree. Many adults are not interested in going to college. They are interested in other kinds of learning. For them, learning does not end with a diploma.Continuing education gives these adults the opportunity to increase their knowledge about their own field or to learn about a new field. It also gives them a chance to improve their old skills or to learn new ones.Scientists, mechanics and barbers can take classes to improve their work skills. If they know more or learn more, they can get a better job or earn more money.Continuing education classes give more adults the chances to learn new skills. There is usually a large variety of classes to choose from: typing, foreign cooking, photography, auto repair, furniture repair, or swimming. These are only some of the classes available. Some adults take classes for fun or because the class will be useful for them. Other adults take continuing education classes to improve their own lives because they want to feel better about themselves.Almost any community college or public school system has a continuing education program. There are classes in schools, community buildings or churches. Most classes are in the evening, so working people can attend. The classes are usually small, and they are inexpensive.10. The new idea about education in the U.S. is that__________.A. everyone should get a college degreeB. It’s no use for adults to go to collegeC. a high school diploma is the end of educationD. adults should go on learning after graduating from school11. What’s the purpose for adults to continue their education?A. Enlarge their knowledge and learn new skills.B. Catch up the opportunity to get a higher degree.C. Learn more basic knowledge to get a diploma.D. Make themselves live a more comfortable life.12. Which of the following statement is true?A. There are only a few continuing education classes available for adults.B. Only those who want to get more money should go on with their education.C. People take continuing education can get a good job.D. All the people getting continuing education can get a good job.13. Usually, the continuing education program is given________.A. in a small size and expensivelyB. only for working peopleC. only in community buildings or churchesD. by community colleges and public schools14. The best title for the passage would be _________.A. Continuing Education ClassesB. The Importance of a College DegreeC. A Good Way to Earn More MoneyD. Difference Choices for AdultsPassage 4Human cloning technology could be used to reverse heart attacks. Scientists believe that they may be able to treat heart attack victims by cloning their healthy heart cells and injecting them into the areas of the heart that have been damaged, and other problems may be solved if human cloning and its technology are not forbidden.With cloning, infertile couples could have children. Current treatments for infertility, in terms of percentages, are not very successfully. Couples go through physically and emotionally painful procedures for a small chance of having children. Many couples run out of time and money without successfully having children. Human cloning could make it possible for many more infertile couples to have children than ever before.We should be able to clone the bone marrow for children and adults suffering from leukemia. This is expected to be one of the first benefits to come from cloning technology.We may learn how to switch cells on and off through cloning and thus be able to cure cancer.Cloning technology can be used to test for and perhaps cure gene-related diseases.The above is just a few examples of what human cloning technology can do for mankind. This new technology promises unprecedented advancement in medicine if people will release their fears and let the benefits begin.15.Heart attacks can be treated with human cloning technology by___________.A removing the damaged part of the heartB replacing the old heart with a cloned oneC repairing the heart with cells cloned from healthy onesD giving the patients injections of various medicines16. The word “infertile”(Line 1, Para.2) most probably means“____________”.A unable to give birth to a childB with physical and emotional problemsC short of time and moneyD separated from each other for long17. According to the passage, one of the first expected benefits from cloning technology may be in ____________.A the treatment of heart attacksB the bearing of babiesC the cure of blood diseasesD the detection of gene-related diseases18. Cancer may be cured with the cloning technology by___________.A attacking the diseased cells with healthy onesB controlling the growth of the cellsC detecting disordered genes in the cancel cellsD activating cancer cells by switching them on19. According to the writer, the main problem with the development of human cloning technology is that___________.A it may be out of human controlB it has brought about few benefits so farC people still know little about itD people are afraid of such technologyVII.

Choose one best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneJune came and the hay(干草) was almost ready for cutting. On Midsummer's Eve, which was a Saturday, Mr. Jones went into Willington and got so drunk at the Red Lion that he did not come back until midday on Sunday. His men had milked the cows in the early morning and then had gone out chatting without bothering to feed the animals. When Mr. Jones got back, he immediately went to sleep on the living-room sofa with the "News of the World" over his face. When evening came, the animals were still not fed. At last, they could stand no longer. One of the cows broke into the door of the storehouse with her horns and all the animals began to help themselves to the grains.It was just then that Mr. Jones woke up. The next moment he and his four men were in the store-house with whips in their hands,whipping in all directions. This was more than the hungry animals would bear. Together, though nothing of the kind had been planned beforehand,they jumped upon their masters. Mr. Jones and his men suddenly found themselves being struck with the horns and kicked from all sides. The situation was quite out of their control. They had never seen these animals act like this before. This sudden rebellion of the creatures,which they were used to beating and whip-ping just as they chose,frightened them. After only a moment or two,they gave up trying to defend themselves. A minute later all five of them were in full fright down the road with the animals running after them joyfully.36. The four men did not feed the cows because_______.A. they had not cut the hay yetB. Mr. Jones wasn't at homeC. they did not have time to feed themD. the cows had fed themselves37. The cows broke into the storehouse because______.A. they did not like their mastersB. Mr. Jones forgot to lock the doorC. they were kept in the cow-house too longD. they were too hungry to wait for the feed38. What did the five men finally do with the cows?A. They chased and drove the cows away.B. They continued beating the cows.C. They gave up defense and ran away.D. They gave ·in and fed the cows.39. We can learn from the passage that______.A. the cows often ran out to look for foodB. the cows often had fights with their mastersC. Mr. Jones and his men often beat the cowsD. Mr. Jones and his men often forgot to feed the cowsPassage TwoIt was sunrise on an August morning when the captain and his crew cast their nets some 50 miles south of Louisiana in the Gulf of Mexico. As the net was pulled over, the contents poured out followed by excited cries of "Coins! Coins!" The fishermen quickly realized they had realized a fisherman's dream: sunken treasure! And not just any treasure, but early American silver dollars that had gonedown 210 years earlier.In 1784, at the end of the American Revolutionary War, a heavily armed ship was bound for the port of New Orleans. On board was a fortune in Spanish Silver Dollars. Hundreds of thousands of them were loaded for the trip to New Orleans,yet not a single one arrived. With no survivors from the ill-fated voyage, historians can only guess at what happened. Some say powerful storms took her down while others speculate it was treasure-hungry pirates(海盗). Whatever happened, the secret-along with a treasure valued near $100,000,000 in today' s dollars-was sent to a watery grave some 300 feet below the ocean's surface.Spanish Silver Dollars were the favorite coins of colonial Americans. Widely used and accepted as payment in the thirteen colonies, the United States government gave them the status of official legal tender. Unfortunately, even though they were struck in large quantities, not many of them survive today. After the Civil War, the government withdrew them from circulation and they were melted down.Due to the historic discovery of this treasure, GovMint . com is releasing these coins to the public for an amazingly low price. For a limited time, those authentic silver dollars are priced at $49 plus shipping and handling—a dramatic reduction from the market price of this coin anywhere else worldwide.40. What surprised the fishermen on an August morning?A. Their net contained a big strange-looking fish.B. They found the treasure sunken 210 years ago.C. They found some pieces of a sunken ship in the net.D. Their net suddenly got caught by something deep in the water.41. What happened to the ship heading for New Orleans in 1784?A. Loaded with too much cargo, it hit on the rocks.B. Robbed by pirates , it lost $100,000,000's worth of goods.C. It disappeared but nobody knew exactly what had happened.D. It was caught in a terrible storm and went down into the ocean.42. What do we know about "Spanish Silver Dollars"?A. Today one coin equals to 49 dollars in the world market.B. They were widely used in America after the Civil War.C. Issued in small amounts, not many of them survive.D. They were officially accepted in the 13 colonies.43. In which section of a magazine would you probably find this article?A. Sports.B. Housing.C. History.D. Fashion.Passage ThreeThe environment affects the way people interact. To examine this conclusion, two researchers "decorated" three rooms: One room was refurnished to look ugly. The second room was intended to look average. The third room was designed to be beautiful. Individuals were then asked to sit in one of the three rooms and rate several pictures of people's faces. The results indicated that the environment has a significant effect on the way people rated the faces. Subjects in the beautiful room gave the pictures higher rates than did subjects in the ugly room. In addition, subjects in the ugly room found the task more unpleasant and boring than did subjects in the beautiful room. Subjects assigned to the ugly room attempted to leave sooner than did subjects assigned to the beautiful room.Color is one environmental factor that can affect your mood and even your ability to concentrate. One researcher concluded that the most pleasant colors, listed in order of preference, were blue, green,purple, red and yellow. The colors listed from most to least arousing were red, orange, yellow, violet, blue, and green.Lighting also affects behavior. Elegant restaurants with dim lighting create a mood of intimacy (亲密)that encourages conversation. The bright lights of an office or classroom, on the other hand, arouse and stimulate thinking.Room decoration, color, lighting, and even music and temperature all influence communication with others; but there is no all-purpose environment. The ideal environment depends on the task that will be performed as well as on the needs and expectations of those present. The same environmental factors that encourage lively conversation and dancing at a New Year's Eve party cannot be expected to create a serene climate in which to study for final exams.44. Paragraph 1 shows that subjects in the ugly room tend to be______.A. less patientB. less considerateC. more enthusiasticD. more confident45. Which color is the most helpful for keeping a good mood?A. Green.B. Blue.C. Orange.D. Red.46. What effect can dim lights of an eating environment bring about?A. Arousing active thinking.B. Improving work efficiency.C. Creating a tense atmosphereD. Stimulating talks among people.47. The underlined word "serene" in the last sentence is closest in meaning to______.A. serious and graveB. calm and peacefulC. pleasant and friendlyD. cold and indifferentPassage FourThere is nothing more possible than a new hip or knee that can put the spring back in your step. Patients receiving joint implants(移植)often are able to resume many of the physical activities they love, even those as vigorous as tennis and hiking. No wonder, then, that joint replacement is growing in popularity.In the United States in 2007, surgeons performed about 806, 000 hip and knee implants (the joints most commonly replaced), double the number performed a decade earlier. Though these procedures have become routine, they are not failure free.Implants must sometimes be replaced, said Dr. Henrik Malchau , an orthopaedic surgeon (矫形外科医生) at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. A study published in 2007 found that 7 percent of hips implanted in Medicare patients had to be replaced within seven and a half years.The percentage may sound low, but the finding suggests that thousands of hip patients eventually require a second operation, said Dr. Malchau. Those patients must endure additional recoveries, often painful, and increased medical expenses.The failure rate should be lower, many experts-agree. Sweden, for instance, has a failure rate estimated to be a third of that in the United States. Sweden also has a national joint replacement registry, a database of information from which surgeons can learn how and why certain procedures go wrong. A registry also helps surgeons learn quickly whether a specific type of implant is particularly problematic. "Every country that has developed a registry has been able to reduce failure rates Significantly," said Dr. Daniel Berry, chief of orthopaedic surgery at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn.A newly formed American Joint Replacement Registry will begin gathering data from hospitals in the next 12 to 18 months. It's good news for those who are considering replacing a knee or hip.48. What is the problem with hip or knee replacements in the U. S. ?A. A lot of patients need a second operation.B. Doctors are not well trained to ensure successful operations.C. Demands for hip replacement exceed the number of surgeons.D. Replacement operation is becoming too expensive in U. S. hospitals.49. Why does Sweden have a lower rate of hip implant failure?A. Sweden has more advanced technology.B. Sweden has a patient data collecting system.C. Sweden has a much larger number of patients.D. Swedish doctors are more responsible and skilful.50. The U. S. is trying to reduce joint replacement failure rate by_____..A. strictly controlling the number of replacement operationsB. asking hospitals to follow up each case for 12 -18 monthsC. setting up a national joins replacement databaseD. sending doctors to be trained in Sweden51. People who need a new knee or hip would possibly feel_____. about data gathering in the U. S.A. indifferentB. assuredC. puzzledD. hopefulPassage FiveThe Saturday Evening Post "became symbolic of the reading fare of middle-class America". In 1897 Curtis began to revive (重振) the Post on the proposition that a man's chief interest in life is the fight for .livelihood-business. Fiction and articles about romantic business and successful businessmen filled its pages, and products backed by .its advertisements directed at the needs and desires of the business world. The general interest weekly reached new audiences. Its conservative viewpoint and strong admiration for material success appealed to the tastes of the millions who settled in an easy chair with it each Thursday evening. As a more commercial, mass-circulation magazine than The New Yorker, the widely readable Post set out to interpret America to itself.As a national and international institution, The Saturday Evening Post made its mark in the lives of massive numbers of men and women, and served society as a stabilizing influence. Its editorial matter addressed the problems and interests of the readers as never before. Neither highbrow nor lowbrow, the Post set out to interpret average middle-class America, for that was its audience. However, this magazine lost touch with the mood of the American people in the 1930s. The Post's editor Lorimer, opposed Roosevelt and the New Deal and changed his magazine from an organ of entertainment and enlightenment into a weapon of political warfare. He believed that in opposing the New Deal he had spoken for the majority of voters, but the 1936 election proved him wrong. His conservatism extended beyond politics, it dominated the magazine’s content and style causing a decline in reputation and authority. The Post met its greatest success when it went beyond the tastes of the masses, challenging its readers to acknowledge the genius of contributors such as F. Scott Fitzgerald and William Faulkner. It was later reformed in an effort to fulfill its responsibility to awaken lethargic (昏昏欲睡的)America, however, The Saturday Evening Post seemed to play to conventions while The New Yorker took off to redefine the character of American Humor.52. According to Paragraph 1, who are primarily the readers of the Post?A. Businessmen.B. College students.C. Housewives.D. Politicians.53. What is the earliest time that readers can read the Post every week?A. Monday.B. Thursday.C. Saturday.D. Sunday.54. Why did the Post lose much of its audience in the 1930's?A. It changed its original style and was heavily involved in politics.B. Readers couldn't afford a newspaper because of the Depression.C. The new editor was not interested in Roosevelt's politics.D. It failed to absorb sufficient advertisements.55. What makes the Post so commercially successful?A. Presenting American style humor.B. Sticking to the tastes of the middle class.C. Carrying articles and novels by local writers.D. Staying in close contact with the business world.V.

You should decide on the best choice, and mark the corresponding letter on theAnswer Sheet.Passage 1Researchers have found that REM(rapid eyemovement) sleep is important to human beings.Thistype of sleep generally occurs four or five times duringone night of sleep,lasting five minutesto forty mimutes for each occurrence.The deeper a person's sleepbecomes,the longer the periodsof rapid eye movement. There are physical changes in the body toshow that a person has changed from NREM(non-rapid eye movement) to REM sleep.Breathing becomesfaster,the heart rate increases,and,as the name implies,the eyes begin to move quickly.Accompanying these physical changes in thebody is a very important characteristic of REM sleep.It is during REM sleep that a person dreams.61.According to the passage,how often doesREM sleep occur in one night?A.OnceB.TwiceC.Four or five timesD.Fortytimes【答案】C62.The word “deeper” in pagragraph 1 isclosest in meaning to which of the following?A.heavierB.louderC.strongerD.happier【答案】A63.Which of the following shows that aperson is NOT dreaming in his sleep?A.His eyes begin to move.B.His bueathing becomesfaster.C.His heart rate increases.D.His eyes stopmoving.【答案】D64.The subject of this passage is.A.why people sleepB.the human need for REMsleepC.the characteristics of REM sleepD.physical changes in the human body【答案】C65.Which of thefollowing is the best title of the article?A. REM SleepB. Two Types of SleepC. SleepersD. What Happens to Sleepers【答案】DPassage 2Foxes and farmers have never got on well.These small dog-like animals have long been accused of killing farm animals. They are officiallyclassified as harmful and farmers try to keep their numbers down by shooting or poisoning them.Farmers can also call on the services oftheir local hunt to control the fox population. Hunting consists of pursuing a fox across the countryside, witha group of specially trained dogs, followed by men and women riding horses. When the dogs eventually catch thefox they kill it or a hunter shoots it.People who take part in hunting think of itas a sport; they wear a special uniform of red coats and white trousers, and follow strict codes ofbehavior. But owning a horse and hunting regularly is expensive, so most hunters are wealthy. It is estimated that up to 100,000 peoplewatch or take part in fox hunting. But over the lastcouple of decades the number of people opposed to foxhunting, because they think it is brutal (残酷的),has risensharply. Nowadays it is rare for a hunt to pass off withoutsome kind of confrontation (冲突) between hunters and hunt saboteurs (阻拦者). Sometimes these incidents lead to violence, but mostly saboteursinterfere with the hunt by misleading riders and disturbing the trail of the fox'ssmell, which the dogs follow.Noisy confrontations between hunters andsaboteurs have become so common that they are almost as much a part of hunting as the pursuit of foxesitself. But this year supporters of fox hunting face a much bigger threat to their sport. A Labour Party Member of theParliament, Mike Foster, is trying to get Parliament to approve a new law which will make the hunting of wildanimals with dogs illegal. If the law is passed, wild animals like foxes will be protected under the ban in Britain.66. Rich people in Britain have beenhunting foxes_______.A.for recreationB. in the interests of thefarmersC. to limit the fox populationD. to showoff their wealth【答案】A67. What is special about fox hunting inBritain?A. It involves the use of a deadly poison.B. It is a costly event which rarelyoccurs.C. The hunters have set rules to follow.D.

Fox hunting opponents often interferein the game________.A.by resorting to violenceB. by confusingthe fox huntersC. by taking legal actionD. bydemonstrating on the scene【答案】B69. A new law may be passed by the BritishParliament to________.A.prohibit farmers from hunting foxesB. forbid hunting foxes with dogsC. stop hunting wild animals in thecountrysideD. prevent large-scale fox hunting【答案】B70. It can be inferred from the passagethat ________.A. killing foxes with poison is illegalB. limiting the fox population isunnecessaryC. hunting foxes with dogs is consideredcruel and violentD. fox-hunting often leads to confrontationbetween the poor and the rich【答案】CPassage 3If you listen to American music, watchAmerican television or magazines, you will probably agree that the most popular subject of these forms ofentertainment is love. Romantic love always finds an audience in the United States. Falling in love, solving theproblems of love, and achieving the happy ending --- the big wedding are subjects of interest to the adult as wellas the teenage public. Millions of Americans celebrate Valentine's Day with special cards and gifts that announce theirlove to their mates, their friends, their coworkers, and their families.Popular songs tell us that “all the worldloves a lover”. A popular saying is “Love conquers all”. Numerous columns in magazines and newspapers offeradvice to the lovelorn, those with difficulties of the heart. To most Americans, romantic love is central to ahappy life.Not only do Americans believe in romanticlove but they also believe that it is the best basis for marriage.Despite the high divorce rate in the UnitedStates, young men and women continue to marry on the basis of romantic love. Americans consider marriagea private arrangement between the two people involved. Young Americans feel free to choose their ownmarriage partners from any social, economic, or religious background. The man or woman may have strong ties withparents, brothers, or sisters, but when he or she falls in love, the strongest feelings are supposed to be for the lovedone. When an American couple marries, they generally plan to live apart from both sets of parents and buildtheirown independent family structure.71.

They had run their own businesses for years,first atheater,then a barbecue(烤肉)restaurant.,then anotherdrive-in. But in their new operation,they offered a new,shortened menu: French fries,hamburgers,and sodas.To this small selection they added one new concept: quick service,no waiters or waitresses,and no tips.Their hamburgers sold for fifteen cents.Cheese was another four cents. Their French fries and hamburgers had a remarkable uniformity,for thebrothers had developed a strict routine for the preparation of their food,and they insisted on their cooks’sticking totheir routine. Their new drive-in became incredibly popular,particularly for lunch. People drove up by the hundredsduring the busy noontime. The self-service restaurant was so popular that the brothers had allowed ten copies oftheir restaurant to be opened. They were content with this modest success until they met Ray Kroc. Kroc was a salesman who met the McDonaldbrothers in 1954,when he was selling milkshake-mixing machines. He quickly saw the unique appealof the brothers’fast-food restaurants and bought the right to franchise(特许经营)other copies of their restaurants. The agreement struck included theright to duplicate the menu. The equipment,even their red andwhite buildings with the golden arches(拱门).Today McDonald’s is really a householdname. Its names for its sandwiches have come to mean hamburger in the decades since the day Ray Kroc watchedpeople rush up to order fifteen-cent hamburgers.

2011年江苏专转本考试英语试卷及答案绝密★启用前江苏省2011年普通高校专转本选拔考试英语试题卷(非英语类专业)第I卷(共100分)Part I Reading Comprehension (共20小题,每小题2分,共40分)Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C, and D. You should decide on the bet choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage OneQuestions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.Everyone loves to eat! People in every country enjoy this activity. There are so many different kinds of food in the world一Chinese food, Italian food, South American food, Indian food, and many others. It's fun to eat and compare different types of cuisine. Italian food is sometimes very spicy, but South American food is usually much spicier. Indian food can be the spiciest of all - sometimes it's so hot that it can make your mouth burn! But that's okay because then you can drink some good Italian or French wine to reduce the burning!Some wonderful food comes from the Eastern countries. Chinese food is popular in many pars of the world. Lots of people love Chinese-style vegetables because they are so crispy. Because Chinese-style vegetables are usually cooked for a much shorter time, they are crispier than American-style vegetables. In fact, they are probably the crispiest cooked vegetables you can find.Some people don't like American-style food. They think it is often less tasty and sometimes less nutritious than food in other countries. Americans spend nearly half their food dollars on meals away from home. They eat more "fast food", such as hamburgers, hot dogs, pizzas, canned and frozen food, for fast food takes a short time to prepare. Often, Americans feel they are too busy to spend a lot of time cooking. it's easier to pick up a pack of fried chicken on the way home from work or take the family out for pizzas or burgers than to start opening cans or heating up frozen dinners after a long, hard day.Of course, in some other countries, like France, cooking is still an "art form". Some people believe that French cuisine is the best in the world. Certainly,each person has a different opinion about which country has the tastiest food. But people in many places agree that French food is the most delicious and the best prepared.1. The main idea of this passage is that .A. American food is less delicious than food in other countriesB. people in many countries prefer Chinese foodC. it's interesting to compare a variety of food in different countriesD. people enjoy different kinds of food in the world2. We can infer from the passage that .A. wine makes you mouth burnB. French chefs love t be artistsC. South American food is not so spicy as Indian foodD. the most wonderful food comes from Eastern countries3. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage? .A. French food is delicious, but not well preparedB. Indian food has to be enjoyed with Italian or French wineC. Chinese-style vegetables are possibly the crispiestD. American food is believed t be the most difficult to cook4. Americans eat a lot of "fast food" because .A. they believe American food is the bestB. American food contains more nutritionC. they don't like food in other countriesD. they don't think they have enough time to prepare meals5. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage? .A. Chinese-style vegetables are often cooked for a short timeB. American food is often believed to be less tastyC. Everyone in the word dislikes Indian foodD. People have different opinions about French cuisinePassage TwoQuestions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage.If American children have to use mosquito ringtone(静音) of cell phones at school, a university in Japan is doing the opposite: giving cell phones to students. And not just any cell phone-the iPhone 3G.According to Asiajin, about 550 students and staff members in the School of Social Informatics at Tokyo-based university Aoyama Gakuin received the iPhone 3G for free as part of their study materials.This is the result of a deal that Aoyama Gakuin signed with SoftBank, the only sales representative of the iPhone in Japan. The number of students using the iPhone is expected to reach about 1,000. This is the first time a particular cell phone has been used on such a huge scale at a Japanese university.The phone will work as a study tool for students. As it comes with the global positioning system (GPS), the university plans to use it to check student attendance. Dropping classes is a big problem in Japan, where regular attendance is an important factor in determining a student's grade. Students often fake attendance by getting classmates to answer roll calls.Now, with the iPhone 3G, the school plans to keep better tabs on (监控) its students. Students are allowed to use the phone for attendance reporting (but only if they are actually in the classroom, a fact that will be proved by the phone's GPS),lecture podcasting, and online examinations. A student can't answer the roll cal usingthe phone from any location other than the classroom.Students can, of course, still cheat the new system by leaving their phones with fellow classmates, but this is not very likely to happen, as people tend to keep a lot of private information on their phones that they don't want to share with others.As for calling and data plans, the university covers the basic fee. The hardware itself is free, but students will have to pay when they exceed downloading limits.6. According to the passage,American children are at school.A. encouraged to use cell phonesB. not encouraged to use cell phonesC. offered a new type of free cell phonesD. allowed to use free cell phones7. Which of the following statements is NOT true of the School of Social Informatics? .A. Students receive the iPhone 3G for freeB. Students use the iPhone 3G as a study toolC. Students have received the iPhone 3G beforeD. Students can save private information on the iPhone 3G8. Which of the following problems might be solved by using the iPhone 3G? .A. Fake attendance reported by classmatesB. Failure of on-line examinationsC. Answer to roll calls at schoolD. High cost of telephoning9. The following functions of the iPhone 3G are mentioned in the text EXCEPT .A. attendance reportingB. lecture podcastingC. online examinationsD. downloading payment10. This passage is mainly about .A. the uses of the iPhone 3G at a Japanese universityB. the advantages of the iPhone 3G in Japanese universitiesC. the control of dropping classes in a Japanese schoolD. the use of GPS to locate students at schoolPassage ThreeQuestions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage.Coco Chanel,a French woman,is very famous for her success in the fashion world. The life of Coco Chanel is a classic rags-to-riches story. Born in 1883, she was abandoned by her father after her mother died. She was raised by her aunts who taught her to sew and gave her the nickname Coco,which means "little pet".Staring out as a hat designer, Coco went against the fancy hats being worn at the time. "How can a brain function under those things," she wondered. Instead,she created simple,but beautiful designs which became popular with fashionable young women of Paris.Strangely enough,Word War I gave her the chance to develop her idea of simpleelegance from hats to clothing. Due to the shortage of material during the war, she took the opportunity to show that less can truly be more, introducing turtle-neck (叠领) sweater and pants for women.In 1923,Coco launched her line of perfumes. "A woman who does not wear perfume has no future!" she said,and women believed her. Since its first appearance, Chanel NO.5 has been the world's most popular perfume,with another bottle being sold every 30 seconds. And Coco herself inspired generations of women designers and businesswomen to pursue their dreams.11. The word famous brand "Chanel" is named after .A. a little animalB. a hat companyC. the nickname of a French womanD. the surname of a French girl12. Coco had her hats those of her time at the beginning of her designing.A. fancier thanB. different fromC. similar toD. more expensive than13. According to the passage, Chanel's designs can be best described as .A. fashionableB. luxuriousC. simple and elegantD. A and C14. The launch of Chanel perfumes is based on the belief that .A. a woman who does not wear perfume has no futureB. it will be the world's most popular perfumeC. it will be sold every 30 secondsD. women are fond of al kinds of perfumes15. Coco Chanel's success story tells us that .A. becoming rich is not so difficultB. women are more likely to succeedC. people can pursue their dreamsD. the poor are more likely to succeedPassage FourQuestions 16 to 20 are base on the following passage.Everyone knows that laziness is not good. We have probably al had lectures telling that laziness is immoral, that it is wasteful,and that lazy people will never gain anything in life. But laziness can be more harmful than that, and it is often caused by more complex reasons. Some people who appear to be lazy are suffering from much more serious problems. They may not trust their fellow workers and they are unable to join in any group task for fear of being laughed at or for fear of having their ideas stolen. These people who seem lazy may be affected by a fear of failure that prevents successful work. Some people are so busy planning great deals that they are unable to deal with" easier" work on hand. Still others are not avoiding work; strictly speaking, they are simply putting of their work.Laziness, however, can actually be helpful. Some people may look lazy while they are really thinking,planning and researching. We should al remember that great scientificdiscoveries happened by chance. Newton wasn't working on the farm when the apple hit him and he devised the theory of gravity. Al of us would like to havesomeone "lazy" build the car we buy,particularly if that "laziness" were caused by the worker's taking time to check each step of his work and to do his job right. And sometimes, being "lazy" - that is,taking time of for a rest一is good for the overworked students or executives. Taking a rest can be particularly helpful to the sportsman who is trying too hard or the doctor who is simply working himself overtime too many evenings in the hospital. So be careful when you want to cal someone lazy. That person may be thinking,resting,or planning his or her next work.16. The main idea of this passage is that .A. laziness is a bad habit that everyone wants to get rid ofB. there are advantages and disadvantages in being lazyC laziness is the sign of very serious emotional problemsD. lazy people usually do their work more carefully17. Which of the following statements is mentioned in the passage? .A. Laziness is a kind of mental diseaseB. Laziness is more beneficial than harmfulC. Laziness cannot be explainedD.

There are 4 tasks for you to fulfill. Y ou should read this materials carefully and do the tasks as you are instructed.Task 1In ancient times the most important examinations were spoken, not written. In the schools of ancient Greece and Rome , testing usually consisted of saying poetry aloud or giving speeches.In the European universities of the Middle Ages, students who were working foradvanced degrees had to discuss questions in their field of study with people who had made a special study of the subject. This custom exists today as part of the process of testing candidates for the doctor's degree.Generally, however, modern examinations are written. The written examination, where all students are tested on the same question, was probably not known until the nineteenth century. Perhaps it came into existence with the great increase in population and the development of modern industry. A room full of candidates for a state examination, timed exactly by electric clocks and carefully watched over by managers ,resembles a group of workers at an automobile factory. Generally, during examinations teachers and students are expected to act like machines.One type of test is sometimes called an "objective" test. It is intended to deal with facts, not personal opinions. To make up an objective test the teacher writes a series of questions, each of which has only one correct answer. Along with each question the teacher writes the correct answer and also three statements that look like correct answers to students who have not learned the material properly.51. In the Middle Ages students_________.A.took objective testsB.specialized in one subjectC.were timed by electric clocksD.never wrote exams52. The main idea of paragraph 3 is that_________.A.workers now take examinationB.the population has grownC.there are only written examsD.examinations are now written and timed53. The kind of exams where students must select answers are_________.A.personalB.spokenC.objectiveD.written54. Modern industry must have developed_________.A.before the Middle AgesB.around the 19th centuryC.in Greece or RomeD.machines to take tests55. It may be concluded that testing_________.A.should test only opinionsB.should always be writtenC.has changed since the Middle AgesD.is given only in factoriesTask 2Adam Smith was the first person to see the importance of the division of the labor. He gave us an example of the process by which pins were made in England."One man draws out the wire, another strengthens it, a third cuts it, a fourth points it, and a fifth gives it a head. Just to make the head requires two or three different operations. The work of making pins is divided into about eighteen differentoperations, which in some factories are all performed by different people, though in others the same man will sometimes perform two or three of them.Ten men, Smith said, in this way, turned out twelve pounds of pins a day or about 4800 pins a worker. But if all of them had worked separately and independently without division of labor, they certainly could not have made twenty pins in a day and not even one.There can be no doubt that division of labor is an efficient way of organizing work. Fewer people can make more pins. Adam Smith saw this, but he also took it for granted that division of labor is itself responsible for economic growth and development and it accounts for the difference between expanding economies and those that stand still. But division of labor adds nothing new, it only enables people to produce more of what they already have.56.According to the passage, Adam Smith was the first person to__________A. take advantage of the physical laborB. introduce the division of labor into EnglandC. understand the effects of the division of laborD. explain the bad causes of the division of labor57.Adam Smith saw that the division of labor__________A. enabled each worker to design pins more quicklyB. increased the possible output per workerC. increased the number of people employed in factoriesD. improved the quality of pins produced58.Adam Smith mentioned the number 4800 in order to__________A. show the advantages of the old labor systemB. stress how powerful the individual worker wasC. show the advantages of the division of laborD. stress the importance of increased production59.According to the writer, Adam Smith's mistake was in believingthat the division of labor__________A. was an efficient way of organizing workB. was an important development in methods of productionC. finally led to economic developmentD. increased the production of existing goods60.According to the writer, which one of the following is NOT true?A. Division of labor can enable fewer people to make more pins.B. Division of labor helps people to produce more of what they already have.C. Division of labor is by no means responsible for economic growth.D. Division of labor is an efficient way of organizing work.Task 3A new poll shows that people believe that computers and the Internet have made life better for Americans, but people also see some dangers in the trend toward computerization.The poll found that the public favors some government protection fromcyber-problems, but in general people are not essentially concerned with issues such as information overload or the never-ending flow of phone calls, faxes and e-mails. A separate survey of children aged 10-17 shows that they have a more positive attitude about computers than adults do, and most have made use of up-to-date technology in their schools.The survey found that enthusiasms for computers and the Internet is found in all income groups, all regions of the country, all races, and most age groups. However, people over 60 and those toward the lower end of the income rank tend to show lower rates of computer ownership and Internet usage. The survey shows that “some kind of gap has been crossed: computers are part of everyday life for most Americans, and the Internet is close behind.”61.The first paragraph shows thatA. the new poll about computers and the Internet is helpfulB. people should explore the dangers of computerizationC. people can not do without computers and the InternetD. computerization has its advantages and disadvantages62.The word “enthusiasm” is closest in meaning toA. great loveB. great hatredC. problemD. advantage63.What are the Americans concerned about according to the poll?A.

American adults tend to than teenagers.A. care more about information overloadB. like using computers moreC. dislike using computers moreD. face less danger65. We can learn from the passage thatA. all the American children have used the latest technology in schoolsB. computers and the Internet are very popular with AmericansC. Americans tend to place more importance in the Internet usage than computersD. the public in America do not hate the Internet problemsTask 4Directions: After reading it, you should give brief answers below it (numbered 66 through 70).

Each passage is followed by some questions or incomplete statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Y ou should decide on the best choice, and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage 1Researchers have found that REM(rapid eye movement) sleep is important to human beings. This type of sleep generally occurs four or five times during one night of sleep, lasting five minutes to forty minutes for each occurrence. The deeper a person's sleep becomes, the longer the periods of rapid eye movement.There are physical changes in the body to show that a person has changed from NREM(non-rapid eye movement) to REM sleep. Breathing becomes faster, the heart rate increases, and, as the name implies, the eyes begin to move quickly.Accompanying these physical changes in the body is a very important characteristic of REM sleep. It is during REM sleep that a person dreams.61.According to the passage, how often does REM sleep occur in one night?A. OnceB. TwiceC. Four or five timesD. Forty times 【答案】C62.The word “deeper” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to which of the following?A. heavierB. louderC. strongerD. happier 【答案】A63.Which of the following shows that a person is NOT dreaming in his sleep?A.

REM SleepB. Two Types of SleepC. SleepersD. What Happens to Sleepers 【答案】DPassage 2 2002年1月四级阅读真题Foxes and farmers have never got on well. These small dog-like animals have long been accused of killing farm animals. They are officially classified as harmful and farmers try to keep their numbers down by shooting or poisoning them.Farmers can also call on the services of their local hunt to control the fox population. Hunting consists of pursuing a fox across the countryside, with a group of specially trained dogs, followed by men and women riding horses. When the dogs eventually catch the fox, they kill it or a hunter shoots it.People who take part in hunting think of it as a sport; they wear a special uniform of red coats and white trousers, and follow strict codes of behavior. But owning a horse and hunting regularly is expensive, so most hunters are wealthy.It is estimated that up to 100,000 people watch or take part in fox hunting. But over the last couple of decades the number of people opposed to fox hunting, because they think it is brutal (残酷的), has risen sharply. Nowadays it is rare for a hunt to pass off without some kind of confrontation (冲突) between hunters and hunt saboteurs (阻拦者). Sometimes these incidents lead to violence, but mostly saboteurs interfere with the hunt by misleading riders and disturbing the trail of the fox's smell, which the dogs follow.Noisy confrontations between hunters and saboteurs have become so common that they are almost as much a part of hunting as the pursuit of foxes itself. But this year supporters of fox hunting face a much bigger threat to their sport. A Labour Party Member of the Parliament, Mike Foster, is trying to get Parliament to approve a new law which will make the hunting of wild animals with dogs illegal. If the law is passed, wild animals like foxes will be protected under the ban in Britain.66. Rich people in Britain have been hunting foxes_______.A. for recreationB. in the interests of the farmersC. to limit the fox populationD. to show off their wealth 【答案】A67. What is special about fox hunting in Britain?A. It involves the use of a deadly poison.B. It is a costly event which rarely occurs.C. The hunters have set rules to follow.D. The hunters have to go through strict training. 【答案】C68. Fox hunting opponents often interfere in the game________.A. by resorting to violenceB. by confusing the fox huntersC. by taking legal actionD. by demonstrating on the scene 【答案】B69. A new law may be passed by the British Parliament to________.A. prohibit farmers from hunting foxesB. forbid hunting foxes with dogsC. stop hunting wild animals in the countrysideD. prevent large-scale fox hunting 【答案】B70. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.A. killing foxes with poison is illegalB. limiting the fox population is unnecessaryC. hunting foxes with dogs is considered cruel and violentD. fox-hunting often leads to confrontation between the poor and the rich 【答案】CPassage 3If you listen to American music, watch American television or magazines, you will probably agree that the most popular subject of these forms of entertainment is love. Romantic love always finds an audience in the United States. Falling in love, solving the problems of love, and achieving the happy ending --- the big wedding are subjects of interest to the adult as well as the teenage public. Millions of Americans celebrate Valentine's Day with special cards and gifts that announce their love to their mates, their friends, their coworkers, and their families. Popular songs tell us that “all the world loves a lover”. A popular saying is “Love conquers all”. Numerous columns in magazines and newspapers offer advice to the lovelorn, those with difficulties of the heart. To most Americans, romantic love is central to a happy life.Not only do Americans believe in romantic love but they also believe that it is the best basis for marriage. Despite the high divorce rate in the United States, young men and women continue to marry on the basis of romantic love. Americans consider marriage a private arrangement between the two people involved. Young Americans feel free to choose their own marriage partners from any social, economic, or religious background. The man or woman may have strong ties with parents, brothers, or sisters, but when he or she falls in love, the strongest feelings are supposed to be for the loved one. When an American couple marries, they generally plan to live apart from both sets of parents and build their own independent family structure.71.

They carefully chose a busy corner for their location. They had run their own businesses for years,first a theater,then a barbecue(烤肉)restaurant.,then another drive-in. But in their new operation,they offered a new,shortened menu: French fries,hamburgers,and sodas. To this small selection they added one new concept: quick service, no waiters or waitresses, and no tips.Their hamburgers sold for fifteen cents. Cheese was another four cents. Their French fries and hamburgers had a remarkable uniformity(一致性),for the brothers had developed a strict routine for the preparation of their food,and they insisted on their cooks’sticking to their routine. Their new drive-in became incredibly popular,particularly for lunch. People drove up by the hundreds during the busy noontime. The self-service restaurant was so popular that the brothers had allowed ten copies of their restaurant to be opened. They were content with this modest success until they met Ray Kroc.Kroc was a salesman who met the McDonald brothers in 1954,when he was selling milkshake-mixing machines. He quickly saw the unique appeal of the brothers’ fast-food restaurants and bought the right to franchise(特许经营)other copies of their restaurants. The agreement struck included the right to duplicate the menu. The equipment,even their red and white buildings with the golden arches(拱门).Today McDonald’s is really a household name. Its names for its sandwiches have come to mean hamburger in the decades since the day Ray Kroc watched people rush up to order fifteen-cent hamburgers. In 1976,McDonald’s had over $ 1 billion in total sales. Its first twenty-two years is one of the most incredible success stories in modern American business history.76.

Writing (20 points)Directions: In this part you are required to write a composition entitled My View on Food Quality in no less than 100 words according to the following Chinese outline. Please remember to write it on the Answer Sheet.1、目前食品质量安全问题日益成为人们关注的焦点。
2、分析劣质产品会带来哪些危害;3、你的看法和建议。
Despite the decline in the number of cases related to fake foods and foods of poor quality, problems remain serious in the market. Food-born diseases remain responsible for high levels of sickness and mortality in the general population, particularly for at-risk groups, such as infants, young children and the elderly. That’s why the safety of food has increasingly become the focus of our attention.Why are we so concerned about the safety of our food today? Because fake foods or foods of poor quality have already been finding their way into our homes, which may do much farm to our health or even kill us. Secondly, the greater profit made from fake foods or foods of poor quality may tempt more and more manufacturers to take part in the production of them. Thirdly, fake foods or foods of poor quality may also make our Chinese foodstuff industry fall into disrepute, causing them to suffer heavy losses both in economy and politics abroad.In this regard, in order to reduce the incidence and economic consequences of food-born diseases, the supervision of food production should be stepped up. What’s more, it is important to drastically increase penalties on those who neglect food safety statutes.After all, the Food Safety Department in our country should educate consumers about the risks presented in food and the safe food handling behaviors that can help minimize those risks. Nevertheless, it is our own awareness of good life style and hygiene habit that a healthy life relies on.河北省2011年普通专科接本科教育选拔考试英语试题答案及解析I Phonetics (5 points)1.

Many people wrongly believe that when people reach old age, their families place them in the hands of strangers for the rest of their lives, their grown children visit tem only occasionally, but more often, they do not have any regular visitors. The truth is that this idea is an unfortunate made-up story. In fact, family members provide over 80 percent of the care that the elderly people need.Because Americans are living longer than ever, more social workers have begun to study care-giving to improve care of the elderly. They have found that all caregivers share something in common: all caregivers believe that they are the best person for the job. One caregiver said that she had always been close to her mother. Another was the oldest child. In other words, they all felt that they could do the job better than anyone else. Social workers interviewed caregivers to find out why they took on the responsibility of caring for the elderly. They discovered three basic reasons. Many caregivers believe that they had an obligation to help their relatives. Some stated that helping others made them feel more useful. Others hoped that by helping someone now, they would deserve care when they become old and dependent.21. What’s the real situation of care-giving of most elderly people in the United Stages?A) They stay in the nursing homes without any family careB) They are forgotten and left in the hands of strangers.C) Their children go to visit them only occasionally.D) Their families give them the most care they need.22. All caregivers believe that .A) They have always been close to their mothersB) They like to take care of the elderly people at homeC) They are the most suitable people to look after the elderlyD) They share the same reasons for taking care of the elderly people23. What is the reason given by some care-givers for doing the care-giving job?A) They like to do some useful things in their spare time.B) They hope to get the same care when they become old.C) They need to earn some extra moneyD) They want to become a social worked.24. Frome the passage we know that Americans today .A) Enjoy al longer life than ever before.B) Do not worry about their old age lifeC) Are nostly living in the nursing homes?D) All stay with their families when they get old25. The second paragraph is mainly about .A) Why social workers want to study dare-giving skillsB) Why Americans now are able to live longer than everC) Why caregivers can do the job better than anyone elseD) Why caregivers do the job of taking care of the elderlyPassage TwoQuestions 26 to 30are based on the following passage.If you live in a city in North America or Europe, you have probably never thought much about water. Whenever you need some, you turn on the tap(水龙头) and the it is. Millions of people in other parts of the world are not so lucky. They have trouble getting enough clean water for their basic needs. This situation may soon become common all around the would. Scientist believes that the lack of clean water may be one for the biggestissues in the twenty-first century.The reasons for this are clear. Not the one hand, people are using more water than ever. Over the last fifty years, the population of the would has more than doubled. So has the demand for water. On the otherhand, supplies of clean water are disappearing. Many sources of surface water are too polluted and unhealthy for use as drinking water. This has forced more and more people to drill wells so they can get clear water from underground.If the world does not want to go thirsty in the near future, scientists say, further pollution must be prevented. Around the world, government must make real changes in industry, agriculture, and waste deposal.26. According to the first paragraph, millions of people in the word have trouble in getting_______________A) Enough facilities to supply drinking water.B) Enough food for the increasing population.C) Enough clean water for their basic needs.D) Enough living space in the world.27. What has happened in the actual situation of water in the last 50 years?____________A) Reasons of using too much water have been found.B) Sources of surface water have become less polluted.C) Enough clean water can be obtained from underground.D) The demand for water has more than doubled.28.

Hiring the right people is therefore the most important factor in a company’s success. On the other hand, recruiting the wrong staff can lead to disaster. If the human resources (HR) department makes mistakes with hiring, keeping and dismissing staff, a business can disappear very quickly. Many companies now realize that recruiting the best recruiters (招聘人员) is the key to success.Why do people go into HR as their first choice? Choy has a ready an swer:” I think most people in the profession are attracted by a long-term goal. Since it’s one of the few areas where you can see the whole operation, it can lead to an influential (有影响的) role on the management. Nothing happensin the compan y which isn’t a ffected by or doesn’t influence its employees, so the HR department is a very important part of any business.”However, not all people agree. A survey of attitudes to HR departments received comments such as “What do they actually contribut e?” But ris ing levels of pay show that the profession’s growing importance is widely recognized. As Choy points out, salaries have never been higher and, in addition, HR managers often receive large annual bonuses.Despite the financial rewards, HR managers often feel they are not properly valued, and this is a major reason for many leaving their jobs. A lack of training and development is a more significant factor,” These days, good professional development opportunities are considered an essential part of an at tractive package.” Choy explains.31. We can learn from the first paragraph that the success ofa company lies in _____________A) Hiring creative employeesB) Building up its public imageC) Having right HR personnelD) Dismissing its bad staff32. According to Choy, the reason why people go into HR is mainly that______________A) They are able to determine the future of the companyB) They can decide the fate of their employees in the companyC) Their work can influence the operation of the companyD) Their work can lead to a long-term contract with their bosses33. Some people don’t believe that HR managers shouldget high pay because________________A) They contribute little to the company’s operationB) Their annual bonuses are already higher th an others’C) Their work has never been widely acknowledgedD) They exert no influence on the management’s decisions34. According to the passage, why do many HR managers leave their jobs?A) Because of the poor financial rewards for the job.B) Because of unhappy relationship with their employersC) Because they cannot decide the development of the HR department.D) Because they feel they have little professional training and development.35. The word “asset” in the first sentence of the passage most probably means_______.A) The good or useful quality a company possessesB) People who are valuable to the success of a companyC) Advertisements that is effective for recruiting new worksD) The things that a company owns, that can be sold to pay debtsPassage FourQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.If you or a loved one were having a heart attack and could choose between a teaching hospital and a traditional hospital, two new studies suggest the teaching hospital would be the better choice.Because they have more doctors, with more access to the latest information, teaching hospitals kept alive more people with heart attacks and other major illnesses, according to a study in the latest New England Journal of Medicine.The advantage for heart attack victims was simple—quicker application of the standard treatments at both teaching and non-teaching hospitals.“There are many more people in teac hing hospitals than there are in non-teaching hospitals,” Cassirer says. “There is a lot of consultation (专家会诊) that goes on.”However, the studies ranked non-teaching hospitals better at supporting patients emotionally.“Teaching hospitals are big places,” Cassirer says. “So it’s much more difficult to do that.”Also, care costs more at teaching hospitals—about 5 percent more on average.Supporters of the major teaching hospitals say they have cut some costs, but that cutting too much would damage their most important responsibility, which is the training of good doctors.“It’s hard to measure in dollars and cents, but I think it’s recognizable in the standard of care available in the United States, something the rest of the world admires”, says Dr.Jordan o f the Association of AmericanTeaching Hospitals.36. One advantage of teaching hospitals over non-teaching hospitals in treating heart attack patients is that________.A) They provide better medical treatment with low costsB) Patients get the latest information about their illnessC) They keep more patients aliveD) Doctors are more responsible37. The word “that” in the sentence “So it’s much more difficult to do that.” refers to________A) The consultation that goes onB) The number of people in teaching hospitalsC) The emotional support for patientsD) The cost of care at teaching hospitals38. One thing that seems to cause people’s concern about t eaching hospitals is________.A) The standard of care C) the number of doctorsB) The cost of care D) the space39. According to the passage, one important task of teaching hospitalsis________.A) To train good doctors C) to provide the best care possibleB) To reduce care costs D) to give patients emotional support40. Dr. Jordan Cohen implies that in America_______.A) Measures should be taken to reduce care costsB) The standard of care can be further improvedC) People have already recognized the issue of high care costsD) The standard of care is higPart III vocabulary and Structure (20 minutes)Directions: There are 40 minutes sentences in this part.

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 SheetPassage 1Researchers have found that REM (rapid eye movement) sleep is important to human beings. This type of sleep generally occurs four or five times during one night of sleep lasting five minutes to forty minutes for each occurrence. The deeper a person’s sleep becomes, the longer the periods of rapid eye movement.There are physical charges in the body to show that a person has changed from NREM (non-rapid eye movement) to REM sleep. Breathing becomes faster, the heart rate increases, and, as the name implies, the eyes begin to move quickly.Accompanying these physical changes in the body is a very important characteristic of REM sleep. It is during REM sleep that a person dreams.61. According to the passage, how often does REM sleep occur in one night?A. OnceB. TwiceC. Four of five timesD. Forty times62. The word “deeper” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to which of the following?A. heavier.B. louder.C. stronger.D. happier.63. Which of the following shows that a person is NOT dreaming in his sleep?A. His eyes begin to move.B. His breathing becomes faster.C. His heart rate increases.D. His eyes stop moving.64. The subject of this passage is ________.A. why people sleepB. the human need for REM sleepC. the characteristic of REM sleepD. physical changes in the human body65. Which of the following is the best title of the article?A. REM SleepB. Two Types of SleepC. SleepersD. What Happens to SleepersPassage 2Foxes and farmers have never got on well. These small dog-like animals have long beenaccused of killing farm animals. They are officially classified as harmful and farmers try to keep their numbers down by shooting or poisoning them.Farmers can also call on the services of their local hunt to control the fox population. Hunting consists of pursuing a fox across the countryside, with a group of specially trained dogs, followed by men and women riding horses. When the dogs eventually catch the fox they kill it or a hunter shoots it.People who take part in hunting think of it as a sport; they wear a special uniform of red coats and white trousers, and follow strict codes of behavior. But owning a horse and hunting regularly is expensive, so most hunters are wealthy.It is estimated that up to 100,000 people watch or take part in fox hunting. But over the last couple of decades the number of people opposed to fox hunting, because they think it is brutal (残酷的), has risen sharply. Nowadays it is rare for a hunt to pass off without some kind of confrontation (冲突) between hunters and hunt saboteurs (阻拦者). Sometimes these incidents lead to violence, but mostly saboteurs interfere with the hunt by misleading riders and disturbing the trail of the fox's smell, which the dogs follow.Noisy confrontations between hunters and saboteurs have become so common that they are almost as much a part of hunting as the pursuit of foxes itself. But this year supporters of fox hunting face a much bigger threat totheir sport. A Labour Party Member of the Parliament, Mike Foster, is trying to get Parliament to approve a new law which will make the hunting of wild animals with dogs illegal. If the law is passed, wild animals like foxes will be protected under the ban in Britain.66. Rich people in Britain have been hunting foxes______________.A) for recreation B) in the interests of the farmersC) to limit the fox population D) to show off their wealth67. What is special about fox hunting in Britain?A) It involves the use of a deadly poison. B) It is a costly event which rarely occurs.C) The hunters have set rules to follow. D) The hunters have to go through strict training.68. Fox hunting opponents often interfere in the game________.A) by resorting to violence B) by confusing the fox huntersC) by taking legal action D) by demonstrating on the scene69. A new law may be passed by the British Parliament to________.A) prohibit farmers from hunting foxes B) forbid hunting foxes with dogsC) stop hunting wild animals in the countryside D) prevent large-scale fox hunting70. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.A) killing foxes with poison is illegalB) limiting the fox population is unnecessaryC) hunting foxes with dogs is considered cruel and violentD) fox-hunting often leads to confrontation between the poor and the richPassage 3If you listen to American music, watch American television or magazines, you will probably agree that the most popular subject of these forms of entertainment is love. Romantic love always finds an audience in the United States. Falling in love, solving the problems of love, and achieving the happy ending—the big wedding are subjects of i nterest to both the adult and the teenage public. Millions of Americans celebrate Valentine’s Day with special cards and gifts that announce their love to their mates, their friends, and their families. Popular songs tell us that “all the world loves a lov er “A popular saying is “Love conquers all”. Numerous columns in magazines and newspapers offer advice to lovelorn, those with difficulties of heart. To most Americans, romantic love is central to a happy life.Not only do Americans believe in romantic love but they also believe that it is the best basis for making a happy marriage. Despite the high divorce rate in the United States, young men and women continue to marry on the basis of romantic love. Americans consider marriage a private arrangement between the two people involved. Young Americans feel free to choose their own marriage partners from any social, economic, or religious background. The man or woman may have strong ties with parents, brothers, or sisters, but when he or she falls in love, the strongest feelings are supposed to be for the loved one. When an American couple marries, they generally plan to live apart from both sets of parents and build their own independent family structure.71. What is the most popular subject of all forms of entertainment?A. MarriageB. Love C Families D. Friendship72. Who is interested in the subject of love?A. Adults who are single.B. Teenagers whose parents are divorced.C. Old people who have no children.D. Both adults and teenagers.73. What do most Americans think of romantic love?A . It is central to a happy life. B.

They think economic background is essential .C. They won’t choose a marriage partner from different religious backgrounds.D. They don’t think social, economic or religious background is important.75.What does an American couple plan to do when they marry?A. They continue to live with their parents after their marriage.B. They plan to live by themselves.C. They plan to earn more money to buy a house.D.

They carefully chose a busy corner for their location. They had run their own businesses for years, first a theater, then a barbecue(烤肉)restaurant, and then another drive-in. But in their new operation, they offered a new, shortened menu: French fries, hamburgers, and sodas. To this small selection they added one new concept: quick service, no waiters or waitresses, and no tips.Their hamburgers sold for fifteen cents. Cheese was another four cents. Their French fries and hamburgers had a remarkable uniformity, for the brothers had developed a strict routine for the preparation of their food, and they insisted on their cooks" sticking to their routine. Their new drive-in became incredibly popular, particularly for lunch. People drove up by the hundreds during the busy noontime. The self-service restaurant was so popular that the brothers had allowed ten copies of their restaurant to be opened. They were content with this modest success until they met Ray Kroc.Kroc was a salesman who met the McDonald brothers in 1954, when he was selling milk shake-mixing machines. He quickly saw the unique appeal of the brothers" fast-food restaurants and bought the right to franchise(特许经营)other copies of their restaurants. The agreement struck included the right to duplicate the menu. The equipment, even their red and white buildings with the golden arches(拱门).Today M cDonald’s is really a household name. Its names for its sandwiches have come to mean hamburger in the decades since the day Ray Kroc watched people rush up to order fifteen-cent hamburgers. In 1976, McDonald’s had over $ 1 billion in total sales. Its first twenty-two years is one of the most incredible success stories in modern American business history.76.

For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice, and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage 1Researchers have found that REM (rapid eye movement) sleep is important to human beings. This type of sleep generally occurs four or five times during one night of sleep, lasting five minutes to forty minutes for each occurrence. The deeper a person’s sleep becomes, the longer the periods of rapid eye movement.There are physical changes in the body to show that a person has changed from NREM(non-rapid eye movement) to REM sleep. Breathing becomes faster, the heart rate increases, and, as the name implies, the eyes begin to move quickly.Accompanying these physical changes in the body is a very important characteristic of REM sleep. It is during REM sleep that a person dreams.61. According to the passage, how often does REM sleep occur in one night?A. OnceB. Twice.C. Four or five times.D. Forty times62. The word “deeper”in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to which of t he following?A. Heavier.B. Louder.C. StrongerD. Happier.63. Which of the following shows that a person is NOT dreaming in his sleep?A. His eyes begin to move.B. His breathing becomes faster.C. His heart rate increases.D. His eyes stop moving.64. The subject of this passage is ______ .A. why people sleepB. the human need for REM sleepC. the characteristics of REM sleepD. physical changes in the human body65. Which of the following is the best title of the article?A. REM SleepB. Two Types of SleepC. SleepersD. What Happens to SleepersPassage 2Foxes and farmers have never got on well. These small dog like animals have long been accused of killing farm animals. They are officially classified as harmful and farmers try to keep their numbers down by shooting or poisoning them.Farmers can also call on the services of their local hunt to control the fox population. Hunting consists of pursuing a fox across the countryside, with a group of specially trained dogs, followed by men and women riding horses. When the dogs eventually catch the fox they kill it or a hunter shoots it.People who take part in hunting think of it as a sport; they wear a special uniform of red coats and white trousers, and follow strict codes of behavior. But owning a horse and hunting regularly is expensive, so most hunters are wealthy.It is estimated that up to 100,000 people watch or take part in fox hunting. But over the last couple of decades the number of people opposed to fox hunting, because they think it is brutal (残酷的), has risen sharply. Nowadays it is rare for a hunt to pass off without some kind of confrontation (冲突) between hunters and hunt saboteurs (阻拦者). Sometimes these incidents lead to violence, but mostly saboteurs interfere with the hunt by misleading riders and disturbing the trail of the fox’s smell, which the dogs follow.Noisy confrontations between hunters and saboteurs have become so common that they are almost as much a part of hunting as the pursuit of foxes itself. But this year supporters of fox hunting face a much bigger threat to their sport. A Labour Party Member of the Parliament, Mike Foster, is trying to get Parliament to approve a new law which will make the hunting of wild animals with dogs illegal. If the law is passed, wild animals like foxes will be protected under the ban in Britain.66. Rich people in Britain have been hunting foxes ______ .A. for recreationB. to limit the fox populationC. in the interests of the farmersD. to show off their wealth67. What is special about fox hunting in Britain?A. It involves the use of a deadly poison.B. It is a costly event which rarely occurs.C. The hunters have set rules to follow.D. The hunters have to go through strict training.68. Fox hunting opponents often interfere in the game ______ .A. by resorting to violenceB. by confusing the fox huntersC. by taking legal actionD. by demonstrating on the scene69. A new law may be passed by the British Parliament to ______ .A. prohibit farmers from hunting foxesB. forbid hunting foxes with dogsC. stop hunting wild animals in the countrysideD. prevent large scale fox hunting70. It can be inferred from the passage that ______ .A. killing foxes with poison is illegalB. limiting the fox population is unnecessaryC. hunting foxes with dogs is considered cruel and violentD. Fox hunting often leads to confrontation between the poor and the richPassage 3If you listen to American music, watch American television or magazines, you will probably agree that the most popular subject of these forms of entertainment is love. Romantic love always finds an audience in the United States. Falling in love, solving the problems of love, and achievingthe happy ending—the big wedding are subjects of interest to the adult as well as the teenage public. Millions of Americans celebrates Valentine’s Day with special cards and gifts that announces their love to their mates, their friends, their coworkers and their families. Popular songs tell us that “all the world loves a lover”. A popular saying is “Love conquers all”. Numerous columns in magazines and newspapers offer advice to the lovelorn, those with difficulties of the heart. To most Americans, romantic love is essential to a happy life.Not only do Americans believe in romantic love but they also believe that it is the best basis for marriage. Despite the high divorce rate in the United States, young men and women continue to marry on the basis of romantic love.Americans consider marriage to private arrangement between the two people involved. Young Americans feel free to choose their own marriage partners from any social ,economic, or religious background. The man or woman may have strong ties with parents, brothers, or sisters, but when he or she falls in love, the strongest feelings are supposed to be for the loved one. When an American couple marries, they generally plan to live apart from both sets of parents and build their own independent family structure.71.

They carefully chose a busy corner for their location. They had run their own businesses for years,first a theater,then a barbecue(烤肉)restaurant, then another drive in. But in their new operation,they offered a new,shortened menu: French fries,hamburgers,and sodas. To this small selection they added one new concept: quick service,no waiters or waitresses,and no tips.Their hamburgers sold for fifteen cents. Cheese was another four cents. Their French fries and hamburgers had a remarkable uniformity(一致性),for the brothers had developed a strict routine for the preparation of their food,and they insisted on their cooks’ sticking to their routine. Their new drive in became incredibly popular,particularly for lunch. People drove up by the hundreds during the busy noontime. The self service restaurant was so popular that the brothers had allowed ten copies of their restaurant to be opened. They were content with this modest success until they met Ray Kroc.Kroc was a salesman who met the McDonald brothers in 1954,when he was selling milkshake mixing machines. He quickly saw the unique appeal of the brothers’ fast food restaurants and bought the right to franchise(特许经营)other copies of their restaurants. The agreement included the right to duplicate the menu, the equipment,even their red and white buildings with the golden arches(拱门).Today M cDonald’s is really a household name. Its names for its sandwiches have come to mean hamburger in the decades since the day Ray Kroc watched people rush up to order fifteencent hamburgers. In 1976,McDonald’s had over $ 1 billion in total sales. Its first twenty two years is one of the most incredible success stories in modern American business history.76.

For each of them there are four choices marked A B C D .you should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer sheet with a single line through the centre. Passage OneQuestions 21to 25 are based on the following passage.Who take cares of the elderly in the United States today? Many people wrongly believe that when people reach old age, their families place them in the hands of strangers for the rest of their lives, their grown children visit tem only occasionally, but more often, they do not have any regular visitors. The tnith is that this idea is an unfortunate made-up story. In fact, family members provide over 80 percent of the care that the elderly people need.Because Americans are living longer than ever, more social workers have begun to study care-giving to improve care of the elderly. They have found that all caregivers share something in common: all caregivers believe that they are the best person for the job. One caregiver said that she had always been close to her mother. Another was the oldest child. In other words, they all felt that they could do the job better than anyone else. Social workers interviewed caregivers to find out why they took on the responsibility of caring for the elderly. They discovered three basic reasons. Many caregivers believe that they had an obligation to help their relatives. Some stated that helping others made them feel more useful. Others hoped that by helping someone now, they would deserve care when they become old and dependent.21.What's die real situation of care-giving of most elderly people in the United Stages?A)They stay in the nursing homes without any family careB)They are forgotten and left in the hands of strangers.C)Their children go to visit them only occasionally.D)Their families give them the most care they need.22.All caregivers believe that .A)They have always been close to their mothersB)They like to take care of the elderly people at homeC)They are the most suitable people to look after the elderlyD)They share the same reasons for taking care of the elderly people23.What is the reason given by some care-givers for doing the care-giving job?A)They like to do some useful things in their spare time.B)They hope to get the same care when they become old.C)They need to earn some extra moneyD)They want to become a social worked24.Frome the passage we know that Americans today .A)Enjoy al longer life than ever before.B)Do not worry about their old age lifeC)Are nostly living in the nursing homes?D)All stay with their families when they get old25.The second paragraph is mainly about .A)Why social workers want to study dare-giving skillsB)Why Americans now are able to live longer than everC)Why caregivers can do the job better than anyone elseD)Why caregivers do the job of taking care of the elderly Passage TwoQuestions 26 to 30are based on the following passage.If you live in a city in North America or Europe, you have probably never thought much about water. Whenever you need some, you turn on the tap(水龙头)and the it is. Millions of people in other parts of the world are not so lucky. They have trouble getting enough clean water for their basic needs. Tliis situation may soon become common all around the would. Scientist believes that the lack of clean water may be one for the biggest issues in the twenty-first century.The reasons for this are clear. Not the one hand, people are using more water than ever. Over the last fifty years, the population of the would has more than doubled. So has the demand for water. On the other hand, supplies of clean water are disappearing. Many sources of surface water are too polluted and unhealthy for use as drinking water. Tliis has forced more and more people to drill wells so they can get clear water from underground.If the world does not want to go thirsty in the near future, scientists say, further pollution must be prevented. Around the world, government must make real changes in industry; agriculture, and waste deposal.26.According to the first paragraph, millions of people in the word have trouble in gettingA)Enough facilities to supply drinking water.B)Enough food for the increasing population.C)Enough clean water for their basic needs.D)Enough living space in the world.27.What has happened in the actual situation of water in the last 50 years?A)Reasons of using too much water have been found.B)Sources of surface water have become less polluted.C)Enough clean water can be obtained from underground.D)The demand for water has more than doubled.28.It is implied from the passage that underground water is nowA)Still healthy for useB)Also seriously pollutedC)The only source of clean waterD)The only way to save the world from going thirsty29.What should be done to prevent the world from going thirsty in the future according to the writer?A)To develop more water industries.B)To cut down the world population.C)To stop the pollution of water.D)To make changes in the world econom30.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A)European people are worrying about clean drinking water.B)Scientists think lack of clean water is a serious problem in the future.C)People prefer drinking underground water rather than surface water.D)Disposal of wastes has nothing to do with water pollution.Passage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.Employees are a company's new ideas, its public face and its main asset. Hiring the right people istherefore the most important factor in a company's success. On the other hand, recmituig the wrong staff can lead to disaster. If the human resources (HR) department makes mistakes with hiring, keeping and dismissing staff, a business can disappear very quickly. Many companies now realize that recniiting the best recruiters (招聘人员)is the key to success.Why do people go into HR as their first choice? Choy has a ready answer:” I think most people in the profession are attracted by a long-term goal. Since it's one of the few areas where you can see the whole operation, it can lead to an influential (有影响的)role on the management. Nothing happens in the company which isn't affected by or doesn't influence its employees, so the HR department is a very in里ortant part of any business.”However, not all people agree. A survey of attitudes to HR departments received comments such as "What do they actually contribute?” But rising levels of pay show that die profession\ growing importance is widely recognized. As Choy points out, salaries have never been higher and. in addition, HR managers often receive large annual bonuses.Despite the financial rewards, HR managers often feel they are not properly valued, and this is a major reason for many leaving their jobs. A lack of training and development is a more significant factor,“ These days, good professional development opportunities are considered an essential part of an attractive package." Choy explains.31.We can learn from the first paragraph that the success of a company lies inA)Hiring creative employeesB)Building up its public imageC)Having right HR personnelD)Dismissing its bad staff32.According to Choy, the reason why people go into HR is mainly thatA)They are able to determine the future of the companyB)They can decide the fate of their employees in the companyC)Their work can influence the operation of the companyD)Their work can lead to a long-term contract with their bosses33.Some people don't believe that HR managers should get high pay becauseA)They contribute little to the company's operationB)Tlieir annual bonuses are already higher than others'C)Their work has never been widely acknowledgedD)They exert no mfluence on the management\ decisions34.According to the passage, why do many HR managers leave their jobs?A)Because of the poor financial rewards for the job.B)Because of unhappy relationship with their employersC)Because they cannot decide the development of the HR department.D)Because they feel they have little professional training and development.35.The word “asset」in die first sentence of the passage most probably means.A)The good or useful quality a company possessesB)People who are valuable to the success of a companyC)Advertisements that is effective for recruiting new worksD)The things that a company owns, that can be sold to pay debtsPassage FourQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.If you or a loved one were having a heart attack and could choose between a teaching hospital and a traditional hospital, two new studies suggest the teaching hospital would be the better choice.Because they have more doctors, with more access to the latest information, teaching hospitals kept alive more people with heart attacks and other major illnesses, according to a study in the latest New England Journal of Medicine.The advantage for heart attack victims was simple-quicker application of the standard treatments at both teaching and non-teaching hospitals.fc Tliere are many more people in teaching hospitals than there are in non-teaching hospitals,“ Cassirer says.There is a lot of consultation (专家会诊)that goes on/'However the studies ranked non-teaching hospitals better at supporting patients emotionally."Teaching hospitals are big places/' Cassirer says. "So its much more difficult to do that.'Also, care costs more at teaching hospitals—about 5 percent more on average.Supporters of the major teaching hospitals say they have cut some costs, but that cutting too much would damage their most important responsibility, which is the training of good doctors.“It's hard to measure in dollars and cents, but I think it's recognizable in the standard of care available in the United States, something the rest of the world admires", says Dr.Jordan of die Association of American Teaching Hospitals.36.One advantage of teaching hospitals over non-teaching hospitals in treating heart attack patients is that.A)They provide better medical treatment with low costsB)Patients get the latest information about their illnessC)They keep more patients aliveD)Doctors are more responsible37.The word 八that“ in die sentence 'So it's much more difficult to do that/' refers toA)The consultation that goes onB)The number of people in teaching hospitalsC)The emotional support for patientsD)The cost of care at teaching hospitals38.One tiling that seems to cause people's concern about teaching hospitals is.A)The standard of care C) the number of doctorsB)The cost of care D) the space39.According to the passage, one important task of teaching hospitals is.A) To train good doctors C) to provide the best care possibleB)To reduce care costs D) to give patients emotional suppor40.Dr. Jordan Cohen implies that in America.A)Measures should be taken to reduce care costsB)The standard of care can be further improvedC)People have already recognized the issue of high care costsD)The standard of care is higPart III vocabulary and Structure (20 minutes)Directions: There are 40 minutes sentences in this part.

Why would human evolve(进化) a 21 that puts us at a social disadvantage by 22 us to reveal that we have cheated or lied.Charles Darwin pointed out that 23 all people of all races blush, animals do not. When it came to explaining the reason, he was 24 a loss. That has not stopped others from trying.One 25 is that blushing started out as a way to show we obey authoritative members of the group. Later, as our social interactions became26 complex, it became involved with higher, self-conscious 27 such as guilt, shame and embarrassment. This would seem to put individuals ata disadvantage, but blushing might actually make it a person more 28 or socially desirable.29 that women blush more than men, one university researcher suggests that blushing might have evolved as a way for women to 30 their honesty to men so as to win their support in raising children. Some zoologists also think blushing could have emerged as away to foster trust. "If you were to go hunting31 a stone-faced partner, you could never 32 what he wants." he says. Once blushing became 33 with embarrassment, anyone who did not blush might have been at a disadvantage because we are 34 likely to trust someone who appears never to feel 35 about anything.21.A.response B.reply C.reflection D.recall22.A.forbidding B.forcing C.encouraging D.preventing23.A.when B.while C.since D.because24.A.on B.in C.at D.of25.A.suggestion B.advice C.solution D.question26.A.apparently pletely C.awkwardly D.increasingly27.A.moods B.senses C.emotions D.tempers28.A.privileged B.embarrassed C.energetic D.attractive29.A.Noting B.Providing C.Assuming D.Hoping30.A.assure B.approve C.confirm D.demonstrate31.A.for B.with C.by D.as32.A.say B.speak C.tell D.talk33.A.united B.related C.contacted D.associated34.A.more B.that C.less D.so35.A.ashamed B.disappointed C.satisfied D.pleasedIV. Reading Comprehension (60 points)Directions: There are five reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by five questions. 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 Answe r Sheet.Passage OneJune came and the hay(干草) was almost ready for cutting. On Midsummer's Eve, which was a Saturday, Mr. Jones went into Willington and got so drunk at the Red Lion that he did not come back until midday on Sunday. His men had milked the cows in the early morning and then had gone out chatting without bothering to feed the animals. When Mr. Jones got back, he immediately went to sleep on the living-room sofa with the "News of the World" over his face. When evening came, the animals were st ill not fed. At last, they could stand no longer. One of the cows broke into the door of the storehouse with her horns and all the animals began to help themselves to the grains.It was just then that Mr. Jones woke up. The next moment he and his four men were in the storehouse with whips in their hands, whipping in all directions. This was more than the hungry animals would bear. Together, though nothing of the kind had been planned beforehand, they jumped upon their masters. Mr. Jones and his men suddenly found themselves being stuck with the horns and kicked from all sides. The situation was quite out of their control. They had never seen animals act like this before. This sudden rebellion of the creatures, which they were used to beating and whipping just as they chose, frightened them. After only a moment or two, they gave up trying to defend themselves. A minute later all five of them were in full fright down the road with the animals running after them joyfully.36.The four men did not feed the cows because ______.A.they had not cut the hay yetB.Mr. Jones wasn't at homeC.they did not have time to feed themD.the cows had fed themselves37.The cows broke into the storehouse because ______.A.they did not like their mastersB.Mr. Jones forgot to lock the doorC.they were kept in the cow-house too longD.they were too hungry to wait for the feed38.What did the five men finally do with the cows?A.They chased and drove the cows away.B.They continued beating the cows.C.They gave up defense and ran away.D.They gave in and fed the cows.39.We can learn from the passage that ______.A.the cows often ran out to look for foodB.the cows often had fights with their mastersC.Mr. Jones and his men often beat the cowsD.Mr. Jones and his men often forgot to feed the cowsPassage TwoIt was sunrise on an August morning when the captain and his crew cast their nets some 50 miles south of Louisiana in the Gulf of Mexico. As the net was pulled over, the contents poured out followed by excited cries of "Coins! Coins!" The fishermen quickly realized they had realized a fisherman's dream: sunken treasure! And not just any treasure, but early American silver dollars that had gone down 210 years earlier.In 1784, at the end of the American Revolutionary War, a heavily armed ship was bound for the port of New Orleans. On board was a fortune in Spanish Silver Dollars. Hundreds of thousands of them were loaded for the trip to New Orleans, yet not a single one arrived. With no survivors from the ill-fated voyage, historians can only guess at what happened. Some say powerful storms took her down while others speculate it was treasure-hungry pirates(海盗). Whatever happened, the secret -- along with a treasure valued near $ 100,000,000 in today's dollars -- was sent to a watery grave some 300 feet below the ocean's surface.Spanish Silver Dollars were the favorite coins of colonial Americans. Widely used and accepted as payment in the thirteen colonies, the United States government gave them the status of official legal tender. Unfortunately, even though they were struck in large quantities, not many of them survive today. After the Civil War, the government withdrew them from circulation and they were melted down.Due to the historic discovery of this treasure, GovMint. com is releasing these coins to the public for an amazingly low price. For a limited time, these authentic silver dollars are priced at $49 plus shipping and handling -- a dramatic reduction from the market price of this coin anywhere else worldwide.40.What surprised the fishermen on an August morning?A.Their net contained a big strange-looking fish.B.They found the treasure sunken 210 years ago.C.They found some pieces of a sunken ship in the net.D.Their net suddenly got caught by something deep in the water.41.What happened to the ship heading for New Orleans in 1874?.A.Loaded with too much cargo, it hit on the rocks.B.Robbed by pirates, it cost $100,000,000's worth of goods.C.It disappeared but nobody knew exactly what had happened.D.It was caught in a terrible storm and went down into the ocean.42.What do we know about "Spanish Silver Dollars"?A.Today one coin equals to 49 dollars in the world market.B.They were widely used in America after the Civil War.C.Issued in small amounts, not many of them survive.D.They were officially accepted in the 13 colonies.43.In which section of a magazine would you probably find this article?A.Sports.B.Housing.C.History.D.Fashion.Passage ThreeThe environment affects the way people interact. To examine this conclusion, two researchers "decorate" three rooms. One room was refurnished to look ugly. The second room was intended to look average. The third room was designed to be beautiful. Individuals were asked to sit in one of the three rooms and rate several pictures of people's faces. The results indicated that the environment has a significant effect on the way people rated the faces. Subjects in the beautiful room gave the pictures higher rates than did subjects in the ugly room. In addition, subjects in the ugly room found the task more unpleasant and boring than did subjects assigned to the beautiful room.Color is one environmental factor that can affect your mood and even your ability to concentrate. One researcher concluded that the most pleasant colors, listed in order of preference, were blue, green, purple, red and yellow. The colors listed from most to least arousing were red, orange,yellow, violet, blue and green.Lighting also affects behavior. Elegant restaurants with dim lighting create a mood of intimacy(亲密) that encourages conversation. The bright lights of an office or classroom, on the other hand, arouse and stimulate thinking.Room decoration, color, lighting, and even music and temperature all influence communication with others, but there is no all-purpose environment. The ideal environment depends on the task that will be performed as well as on the needs and expectations of those present. The same environmental factors that encourage lively conversation and dancing at a New Y ear's Eve party cannot be expected to create a serene climate in which to study for final exams.44.Paragraph 1 shows that subjects in the ugly room tend to be ______.A.less patientB.less considerateC.more enthusiasticD.more confident45.Which color is the most helpful for keeping a good mood?A.GreenB.BlueC.OrangeD.Red46.What effect can dim lights of an eating environment bring about?A.Arousing active thinking.B.Improving work efficiency.C.Creating a tense atmosphere.D.Stimulating talks among people.47.The underlined word"serene" in the last sentence is closest in meaning to ______.A.serious and graveB.calm and peacefulC.pleasant and friendlyD.cold and indifferentPassage FourThere is nothing more possible than a new hip or knee that can put the spring back in your step. Patients receiving joint imp lants(移植) often are able to resume many of the physical activities they love, even those as vigorous as tennis and hiking. No wonder, then, that joint replacement is growing in popularity.In the United States in 2007, surgeons performed about 806,000 hip and knee implant (the joints most commonly replaced), double the number performed a decade earlier. Though these procedures have become routine, they are not failure free.Implants must sometimes be replaced, said Dr. Henrik Malchau, an orthopaedic surgeon (矫形外科医生) at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. A study published in 2007 found that 7 percent of hips implanted in Medicare patients had to be replaced within seven and a half years.The percentage may sound low, but the finding suggests that thousands of hip patients eventually require a second operation, said Dr. Malchau. Those patients must endure additional recoveries, often painful, and increased medical expenses.The failure rate should be lower, many experts agree. Sweden, for instance, has a failure rate estimated to be a third of that in the United States. Sweden also has a national joint replacement registry, a database of information from which surgeons can learn how and why certain procedures go wrong. A registry also helps surgeons learn quickly whether a specific type of implant is particularly problematic. "Every country that has developed a registry has been able to reduce failure rate significantly," said Dr. Daniel Berry, chief of orthopaedic surgery at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn.A newly formed American Joint Replacement Registry will begin gathering data from hospitals in the next 12 to 18 months. It's good news for those who are considering replacing a knee or hip.48.What is the problem with hip or knee replacements in the U.S.?A.A lot of patients need a second operation.B.Doctors are not well trained to ensure successful operations.C.Demands for hip replacements exceed the number of surgeons.D.Replacement operation is becoming too expensive in U.S. hospitals.49.Why does Sweden have a lower rate of hip implant failure?A.Sweden has more advanced technology.B.Sweden has a patient data collecting system.C.Sweden has a much larger number of patients.D.Swedish doctors are most responsible and skillful.50.The U.S. Is trying to reduce joint replacement failure rate by ______.A.strictly controlling the number of replacement operations.B.asking hospitals to follow up each case for 12-18 months.C.setting up a national joint replacement database.D.sending doctors to be trained in Sweden.51.People who need a new knee or hip would possibly feel ______ about data gathering in the U.S.A.indifferentB.assuredC.puzzledD.hopefulPassage FiveThe Saturday evening Post "became symbolic of the reading fare of middle-class America". In 1897 Curtis began to revive(重振) the Post on the proposition that a man's chief interest in life is the fight for livelihood -- business. Fiction and articles about romantic business and successful businessmen filled its pages, and products backed by its advertisements directed at the needs and desires of the business world. The general interest weekly reached new audiences. Its conservative viewpoint and strong admiration for material success appealed to the tastes of the millions who settled in an easy chair with it each Thursday evening. As a more commercial, mass-circulation magazine than The New Y orker, the widely readable Post set out to interpret America to itself.As a national and international institution, The Saturday Evening Post made its mark in the lives of massive numbers of men and women, and served society as a stabilizing influence. Its editorial matter addressed the problems and interests of the readers as never before. Neither highbrow nor lowbrow, the Post set out to interpret average middle-class America, for that was its audience. However, this magazine lost touch with the mood of the American people in the 1930s. The Post's editor Lorimer, opposed Roosevelt and the New Deal and changed his magazine from an organ of entertainment and enlightenment into a weapon of political warfare. He believed that in opposing the New Deal he had spoken for the majority of voters, but the 1936 election proved him wrong. His conservatism extended beyond politics, it dominated the magazine's content and style causing a decline in reputation and authority. The Post met its greatest success when it went beyond the tastes of the masses, challenging its readers to acknowledge the genius of contributors such as F. Scott Fitzgerald and William Faulkner. It was later reformed in an effort to fulfill its responsibility to awaken lethargic(昏昏欲睡的) America, however, The Saturday Evening Post seemed to play to conventions while The New Y orker took off to redefine the character of American Humor.52.According to Paragraph 1, who are primarily the readers of the Post?A.Businessmen.B.College students.C.HousewivesD.Politicians.53.What is the earliest time that readers can read the Post every week?A.Monday.B.ThursdayC.SaturdayD.Sunday54.Why did the Post lose much of its audience in the 1930s?A.It changed its original style and was heavily involved in politics.B.Readers couldn't afford a newspaper because of the Depression.C.The new editor was not interested in Roosevelt's politics.D.It failed to absorb sufficient advertisements.55.What makes the Post so commercially successful?A.Presenting American style humor.B.Sticking to the tastes of the middle-class.C.Carrying articles and novels by local writers.D.Staying in close contact with the business world.V. Daily Conversation(15 points)Directions:Pick out the appropriate expressions from the eight choices below and complete the following dialogues by blackeni ng the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.A.When do you need itB.
