大学英语四级试卷模拟一试卷答案对照版CET-4 Test 1 Part 1 Reading Comprehension(35 minutes) Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C), and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:It was once believed that being overweight was healthy, but nowadays few people subscribe to this viewpoint. While many people are fighting the battle to reduce weight, studies are being conducted concerning the appetite and how it is controlled by both emotional and biochemical factors. Some of the conclusions of these studies may give insights into how to deal with weight problems. For example, when several hundred people were asked about their eating habits in times of stress, 44 percent said they reacted to stressful situations by eating. Further investigations with both humans and animals indicated that it is not food which relieves tension but rather the act of chewing.A test in which subjects were blindfolded showed that obese(肥胖)people have a keener sense of taste and crave （渴望） more flavorful food than non-obese people. When deprived of the variety and intensity of tastes, obese people are not satisfied and consequently eat more tofulfill this need. Blood samples taken from people after they were shown a picture of food revealed that overweight people reacted with an increase in blood insulin（胰岛素）, a chemical associated with appetite. This did not happen to average-weight people.In another experiment, results showed that certain people have aspecific, biologically induced hunger for carbohydrate（糖类）.Eating carbohydrates raises the level of serotonin, a neurotransmitter in the brain. Enough serotonin produces a sense of satiation（满足),and hunger for carbohydrates subsides.Exercise has been recommended as an important part of a weigh-loss program. However, It has been found that mild exercise, such as using the stairs instead of the elevator,is better in the long run than taking on a strenuous program, such as jogging, which many people find difficult to continue over long periods of time and which also increase appetite.1. It can be inferred from the passage that _______.A) overweight people are tenseB) thin people don't eat when under stressC) weight watchers should chew on something inedible when tenseD) 56 percent of the population isn't overweight.2. According to the passage, insulin _______.A) increases in the bloodstream when people eat large amounts of foodB) can be used to lessen the appetiteC) causes a chemical reaction when food is seenD) levels don't change in average-weight people who see food3. In order to lose weight, it would be a good idea for heavy people to _______.A) jog 3 miles daily and chew on carrot sticksB) avoid stressful situations and have control over theireating habitsC) eat plenty of chewy carbohydratesD) walk up stairs and look at pictures of food4. Which of the following exercises might be best for an overweight person to engage in daily?A) An evening walkB) A long swimC) Cross-country skiingD) 10-mile bicycle rides5. What can be said about serotonin?A) It is a chemical that increases the appetite.B) Only certain people produce it in their brains.C) It tells the brain when a person is full.D) It neurotransmits carbohydrates to the brain. Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage: Washington Irving was America's first man of letters to be knowninternationally. His works were received enthusiastically both in England and in the United States. He was, in fact, one of themost successful writers of his time in either country,delighting a large general public and at the same time winning the admiration of fellow writers like Scott in Britain and Poe and Hawthorne in the United States. The respect in which he was held was partly owing to the man himself, with his warm friendliness, his good sense, his urbanity, his gay spirits, has artistic integrity, his love of both the Old World and the new. Thackeray describedIrving as "a gentleman, who, though himself born in no very high sphere, was most finished, polished, witty; socially the equal of the most refined Europeans." In England he was granted an honorary degree from Oxford-- an unusual honorfor a citizen of a young, uncultured nation--- and he received the medal of the Royal Society of Literature; America made him ambassador to Spain.Irving's background provides little to explain his literary achievements. A gift but deliberate child, he had little schooling, He studied law, but without zeal, and never did practise seriously. He was immune to his strict Prebyterian home environment, frequenting both social gatherings andthe theatre.6. The main point of the first paragraph is that WashingtonIrving was ______.A) America's first man of lettersB) a great writer who was successful in his own country and other parts of the world as wellC) a man who won the respect of other writers because ofhishigh social statusD) a man who was able to move from literature to politics7. What is implied by the comment about Scott, Poe and Hawthorne?A) Irving's great popularity resulted in the admiration of Scott, Poe and Hawthorne.B) More Americans than Britains admired Irving.C) Irving's work was not only popular, but also of high literary quality.D) Irving's success was attributed to his family background.8. What can be said about Irving's law career?A) He only began to practice law late in life.B) He spent very little time working as a lawyer.C) He never practiced law although he studied it .D) He worked as a lawyer with great enthusiasm.9. Why did Thackeray think that Irving's social grace was unusual?A) Because Irning's degree was honorable and unusual.B) Because his parents were not aristocratic.C) Because he had good sense and gay spirits.D) Because he often exhibited warm friendiness.10. Which of the following best describes the effect ofIrving's Presbyterian background on his life?A) It had almost no effect on his life.B) It promoted his interest in law.C) It fostered his love for literature.D) It enabled him to become a successful writer.Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:Time spent in bookshop can be most enjoyable, whether you are a book lover or merely there to buy a book as a present. Whatever the person , you can soon become totally in awareof your surroundings. You soon become engrossed（全神贯注)in some books, and usually it is only much later that you realize you have spent far too much time there and mustdash off to keep some forgotten appointment --- without buying a book,of course.This opportunity to escape the realities of everyday life is, I think,the main attraction of a bookshop. A music shop is very like a bookshop. You can wander round such places to your heart's content. If it is a good shop, no assistant will approach you with the inevitable greeting:" Can I help you, sir?" You Needn't buy anything you don't want. In a bookshop, an assistant should remain in the backgrounduntil you have finished browsing（游览）.Then, and only then, are his services necessary.You have to be careful not to be attracted by the variety of books in a bookshop. It is very easy to enter the shop looking for a book on ancient coins and to come out carrying a copy of the latest best-selling novel and perhaps a book about brass-rubbing -- something which had only vaguely interested you up until then. This volume on the subject, however, happened to be so well illustrated and the part of the text you read proved so interestingthat you just had to buy it. This sort of thing can be very dangerous. Apart from running up a huge account, you can waste a great deal of time wandering from section tosection.Booksellers must be both long-suffering and indulgent（宽容）.11. You may be unaware of the time passing by in a bookshop because ______.A) you want to escape the reality of everyday lifeB) you have to finish browsing one of the booksC) you don't want to waste your moneyD) you have to make sure you don't buy a dull book as a present12. In a good bookshop _______.A) the shop assistant greets you in a friendly wayB) you feel obliged to buy one of the booksC) your heart is contentedD) no shop assistant will approach you unless his service is called13. It is very unwise to enter a bookshop and buy ______.A) a best-selling novel on brass-rubbingB) a book on ancient coinsC) a book on the subject that vaguely interests youD) a book well illustrated and expensive14. According to the writer, the best way to escape the realities of routine life is _____.A) to have a long chat with assistant in a bookshopB) to stay in a bookshop, being absorbed in reading books of various kindsC) to buy a best-selling novel to readD) to wander about in the streets15. The best title of this selection would be632A) On buying booksB) Bookshops and AssistantsC) Booklovers and BookshopsD) How to Escape the Realities of Everyday Life in a BookshopQuestions 16 to 20 are on the following passage:Social change is more likely to occur in societies where thereis a mixture of different kinds of people than in societies wherepeople are similar in many ways. The simple reason for this is that there are more different ways of looking at things present in the first kind of society, There are more ideas,disagreements in interest, and more groups and organizationswith different beliefs. In addition, there is usually a greaterworldly interest and greater tolerance in mixed societies. All these factors tend to promote social change by opening more areas of life to decision. In a society where people arequite similar in many ways, there are fewer occasions for people to see the need or the opportunity for change becauseeverything seems to be the same. And although conditions may not be satisfactory, they are at least customary and undisputed.Within a society, social change is also likely to occur morefrequently and more readily in the material aspects of the culture than in the non-material, for example, in technologyrather than in values; in what has been learned later inrather than what was learned early; in the less basic and less emotional aspects of society than in their opposites; in the simple elements rather than in the complex ones;in form rather than in substance; and in elements that are acceptable to the culture rather than in strange elements. Furthermore, social change is easier if it is gradual.For example, it comes readily on human relations on a continuous scale rather than one with sharp dichotomies. This is one reason why change has not come more quicklyto black Americans as compared to other American minorities, because of the sharp difference in appearance between them and their white counterparts.16. According to the passage, one of the factors that tend to promote social change is _____.A) mutual interestB) different points of viewC) more worldly peopleD) advanced technology17. Social change is less likely to occur in a society wherepeople are quite similar in many ways because______.A) people there are always satisfied with their living conditionsB) people there have identical needs that can be met withoutmuch disputesC) people there have got accustomed to their conditionsthatthey seldom think it necessary to changeD) people there are less emotional and easy to please18. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?A) Social values play an important role in social change.B) Social change is more likely to occur in the material aspectsof society.C) Social change is more likely to occur if it comes graduallyD) Social change tends to meet with more difficulty in basic andemotional aspects of society.19. The expression "greater tolerance" in Paragraph 1refersto ______.A) greater willingness to accept social changeB) quicker adoption to changing circumstancesC) more respect for different beliefs and behaviorD) greater readiness to agree to different opinions and ideas20. The passage mainly discusses______.A) two different societiesB) the necessary of social changeC) different social changesD) certain factors that determine the ease with whichsocialchanges occurPart 2 Vocabulary and structureDirections: There are 30 incomplete sentences in this part, For each sentence there are four choices marked A), B), C), and D) .Choose the ONE answer that best competes the sentence.

At school he seems only to have been interested in mathematics.In fact,his formal education was surprisingly brief for a gentleman,and incomplete.For unlike other young Virginian of that day,he did not go to the College of William and Mary in the Virginia Williamsburg.In terms of formal training then,Washington contrasts sharply with some other early American Presidents such as JohnAdams.Thomas Jefferson and James Madison.In later years,Washington probably regretted his lack of intellectual training.He never felt comfortable in a debate in Congress(国会),or on any subject that had not todo with everyday,practical matters.And because he never learned French and could not speak directly to the French leaders,he did not visit the country he admired so much.Thus,unlike Jefferson and Adams,he never reached Europe.11.Why didn’t Washington go to college?A.His family could not afford it.B.A college education was rather uncommon in his time.C.He didn’t like the young Virginian gentlemen.D.The author doesn’t give any reason.12.Washington felt uncomfortable in Congress debates because he__________.cked practice in public speakingB.felt his education was not good enoughC.didn’t like arguing and debating with peopleD.felt that debating was like intellectual training13.The reason why Washington didn’t visit France was probably that he__________.A.didn’t really care about goingB.didn’t know French leadersC.couldn’t communicate directly with the French leadersD.was too busy to travel14.According to the author,__________.A.Washington’s lack of formal education placed him at a disadvantage in later lifeB.Washington should have gone to France even though he could not speak FrenchC.Washington was not as good a president as Adams,Jefferson or MadisonD.Washington was a model for all Virginian gentlemen15.The main idea of the passage is that Washington’s education __________.A.was of great variety,covering many subjectsB.was probably equal to those of most young gentlemen of his timeC.may seem poor by modern standards,but was good enough for his timeD.was rather limited for a presidentPassage 2Like most people,I was brought up to look upon life as a process of getting.It was not until in my late thirties that I made this important discovery:giving–away makes life so much more exciting.You need not worry if you lack money.This is how I experimented with giving–away.If an idea for improving the window display of a neighborhood store flashes to me,I step in and make the suggestion to the storekeeper.One discovery I made about giving–away is that it is almost impossible to give away anything in this world without gettingsomething back,though the return often comes in an unexpected form.One Sunday morning the local post office delivered an important special delivery letter to my home,though it was addressed to me at my office.I wrote the postmaster a note of appreciation.More than a year later I needed a post–office box for a new business I was starting.I was told at the window that there were no boxes left,and that my name would have to go on a long waiting list.As I was about to leave,the postmaster appeared in the doorway.He had overheard(无意中听到)our conversation.“Wasn’t it you that wrote us that letter a year ago about delivering a special delivery to your home?”I said yes.“Well,you certainly are going to have a box in this post office if we have to make one for you.You don’t know what a letter like that means to us.We usually get nothing but complaints.”16.From the passage,we understand that __________.A.the author did not understand the importance of giving until he was in late thirtiesB.the author was like most people who were mostly receivers rather than giversC.the author received the same education as most people during his childhoodD.the author liked most people as they looked upon life as a process of getting17.According to the author __________.A.giving means you will lack moneyB.the excitement of giving can bring you moneyC.you don’t have to be rich in order to giveD.when you give away money,you will be rich18.The author would make the suggestion to the storekeeper __________.A.in writingB.in personC.in the window displayD.about the neighborhood19.When the author needed a post–office box,__________.A.he had to put his name on a waiting listB.he wrote the postmaster a note of appreciationC.many people had applied for post–office boxes before himD.he asked the postmaster to make one for him20.In reply to the postmaster’s question,the author said __________.A.it was the special deliveryB.it was the post–office boxC.it was the note of appreciation he wroteD.it was he who wrote him a letter a year agoPassage 3Children in the United States are exposed to many influences other than of their families.Television is the most significant of these influences,because the habit of watching television usually begins before children start attending school.Parents are concerned about the lack of quality in television programs for children.The degree of violence in many of these shows also worries them.Studies indicate that,when children are exposed to violence,they many become aggressive or insecure.Parents are also concerned about the commercials during programs for children.And some parents feel that these shows should not have any commercials at all because young minds are not mature enough to deal with the claims made by advertisers.Educational television has no commercials and has programs for children that many parents approve of.The most famous of these is Sesame Street,which tries to give preschool children a head start in learning the alphabet(字母)and numbers.It also tries to teach children useful things about the world in which they live. Even though most parents and educators give Sesame Street and shows like it high marks for quality,some critics argue that all television,whether educational or not,is harmful to children.These critics feel that the habit of watching hours of television every day turns children into bored and passive(被动的)consumers of their world rather than encouraging them to become active explorers of it.21.Which of the following statements is NOT based on the passage?A.Parents are worried about the influence from television on their children.B.Television has much influence on children.C.Both parents and their children like watching educational television.D.Some critics think that television is no good for children.22.In what ways do children suffer from television?A.They become the victims of social violence.B.They spend hours watching television instead of doing school work.C.The programs make the children lose interest in the world.D.The programs make the children spend too much of their parents’money.23.Parents would not like their children to see commercials because __________.A.they think that their children are not old enough to handle advertisingmercials teach children alphabet and numbersmercials help to sell productsD.they don’t like commercialscational television is widely appreciated because __________.A.it does have the same commercials as othersB.it offers programs for both children and their parentsC.many parents like the programs it offers for their childrenD.children can learn some school subjects before they go to school25.Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage?A.Watching Too Much Television May Be Harmful to Young MindsB.Television Is More Harmful than EducationalC.Television’s Influence on ChildrenE.More Education TelevisionPassage 4There was a bad storm last night.Power lines were blown down by the high winds.Electric service was cut to more than a thousand homes,stores,and offices in the area.As a result,the two telephones on Dwayne Lederer’s desk have been ringing all day.He works in the public relations office of the utility company that provides electricity for the region.When service is interrupted,as it was by last night’s storm,Dwayne has to inform the public what the company is doing about the problem.He issues statements to the press,radio,and TV about the progress of repair work.He also answers dozens of phone calls from customers who want to know when their electric service is going to be restored.Right now he’s talking to the maintenance section.The supervisor is telling him where the crews are working and how long it will take to complete the repairs.His second phone is ringing,,and he picks it up as soon as he hangs up the first phone.This time it is a customer,and Dwayne is able to tell her that her electricity will be restored in an hour or less.Before he finishes the call,the other phone is ringing again.Dwayne isn’t always as busy as he is today.He spends a great deal of his time writing stories about the utility company and placing them in the local newspapers.Of course the stories show the company in a favorable light.At other times,he takes visitors through the company’s plants.He has also been working on a new project.He’s arranging to visit schools in the area to explain to the students how electricity is generated and distributed.He thinks this will help the public to understand some of the company’s polices.Public relations is a field that has grown very rapidly in recent years.People have become aware of the effect that industry has on their lives.Now there are movements to protect the environment and to protect consumers.Many companies have found that they need to explain their policies to the public.Some of them have found it necessary to respond to bad publicity.Tourism and entertainment businesses have slways needed favorable publicity to attract customers.Dwayne worked as a reporter on a local newspaper for several months after he graduated from school.At the same time,the management of the utility company decided that it was necessary to do a better job in public relations.The company hired several men and women to fill vacancies in the public relations department.Dwayne was interviewed and chosen for one of the positions.26.The company Dwayne works

Geographers compare and contrast21places on the earth. But they also go beyond the individual places and consider the earth as a 22, The word geography comes from two Greek words, ge, the Greek word for “earth”and graphein, 23means “to write”, the English word Geography means “to describe the earth”. Some geography books focus on a small area 24 a town or city. Others deal with a state, a region, a nation, or an entire continent. Many geography books deal with the whole earth. Another 25to divide the study of geography is to distinguish between physical geography and cultural geography. The former focuses on the natural world; the 26starts with human beings and studies how human beings and their environment act 27each other. But when geography is considered as a single subject, neither branch can neglect the other.A geographer might be described 28one who observes, records, and explains the differences between places.If places 29alike, there would be little need for geographers.We know, however, that no two places are exactly the same. Geography, 30isa point of view, a special way of looking at places.21. A.similar B.various C.distant D.famous22. A.whole B.unit C.part D.total23. A.what B.that C.which D.it24.

A.still B.then C.nevertheless D.moreoverIV. Reading ComprehensionPassage 1Learning a foreign language is not a matter of reading some grammar rules and memorizing （牢记、记忆）some vocabulary words—although those are important activities not to be ignored. Acquiring a language is learning a skill, not a body of information. It's as much like learning to swim or ride a bike as it is like learning about the Second World War. That is, you must not only understand the ideas and concepts, have information at hand, but also make your body accustomed to using that information in physical activity: in this case the physical activity involved is speaking, listening, writing and reading.You need, then, not only to memorize and understand, but also to practice!Here are a few brief suggestions on effective practice/study techniques.1. Make your mouth or hand do what your mind is learning. Study out loud. Do go to the lab and work on the tapes. Study with a friend, thus involving yourself in speaking and listening. Try to write sentences or a short paragraph using the skills you have practiced orally.2. Study day by day. You cannot get by in a foreign language course by cramming (临时抱佛脚) at the last minute. You may be able to "learn" vocabulary items that way, but you cannot teach your mouth to use them in sentences.3. Occasionally go back and review "old" topics and vocabulary. Language learning is cumulative (积累的). You learn new skills on the basis of old ones. The more you "recycle"（循环）familiar information and skills, the better you will be able to absorb new ones.4. Don't be afraid to make mistakes. Self-consciousness (自我意识) can be a mighty obstacle to learning a language. Perhaps part of the reason small children readily acquire languages is that they are not afraid of making mistakes.31. The first paragraph of the passage is to emphasize that.A. memorizing vocabulary words is necessary in language learningB.learning to swim is quite similar to learning about the Second World WarC.understanding the ideas and concepts is more important than anything elsenguage learning is a process of acquiring different language skills32. One of the advantages of studying with a friend is that.A.it makes one talk in a particular languageB.it strengthens the friendship between two friendsC.friends can share tapes or other learning materialsD.one studies better in a friendly atmosphere33. Cramming should be avoided while learning a language because.A.it is of little use to study without a clear purposeB.nothing can be learnt through crammingC.anything learnt that way can hardly be put into useD.one may not find enough time to use at the last minute34. The purpose of reviewing old topics is.A. to build up a good foundation for new skillsB.to appreciate the good ideas contained in themC.to throw away the old, useless informationD.to avoid making mistakes in the future35.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A.Why Children Are Capable of Learning a Language Better Than Grown-upsB.A Few Brief Suggestions on Studying a Foreign LanguageC.Why Learning a Foreign Language Is More Difficult Than Anything ElseD.An Introduction to Language Teaching and LearningIV. Reading ComprehensionPassage 2Computer people talk a lot about the need for other people to become "computer-literate." But not all experts agree that this is a good idea. One pioneer, in particular, who disagrees is David Tebbutt, the founder of Computertown UK.Although many people see this as a successful attempt to bring people closer to the computer, David does not see it that way. He says that Computertown UK was formed for just the opposite reason, to bring computers to people and make them “people-literate." David Tebbutt thinks Computertowns are most successful when tied to a computer club but he insists there is an important difference between the two; the clubs are for people who have some computer knowledge already. This frightens away non-experts, who are happier going to Computertowns where there are computers for them to experiment on. With experts to encourage them and answer any questions they have, they are not told what to do. They find out. The computer experts have to learn not to tell people about computers, but have to be able to answer all questions people ask. People don't have to learn computer terms, but the experts have to explain in plain language. The computers are becoming "people-literate."36. Which of the following is David Tebbutt's idea on the relationship between people and computers?A. Computer learning should be made easier.B.There should be more computer clubs for experts.C.People should work harder to master computer use.puters should be made cheaper so that people can afford them.37. We can infer from the text that "computer-literate" means.A.being able to afford a computerB.being able to write computer programsC.working with the computer and finding out its valueD.understanding the computer and knowing how to use it38. The underlined word "it" in the second paragraph refers to the idea that Computertowns .A.help to set up more computer clubsB.bring people to learn to use computersC.bring more experts to work togetherD.help to sell computers to the public39. David Tebbutt started Computertown UK with the purpose of.A.making better use of computer expertsB.improving computer programsC.increasing computer salesD.popularizing computers40. Which of the following is NOT true?.A.Many people think that Computertown UK is a good way to bring peoplecloser to the computer.puter clubs are for those computer-literate people.C.Everyone think people should be “computer-literate.”D.The computer experts have to be able to answer all questions in plain language.V. Translation41. To tell the truth, we don't really have much in common, but we get along really well.参考答案：说实话，我俩相同的地方实际上很少，不过我们相处得很好。

How can you tell the real meaning behind someone’s words?One way is to take a good look at the person talking.Do his words fit the way he looks?Does what he says square with the tone of voice?His posture(体态)?The look in his eyes?Stop and think.The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people say to you may save another mistake.11.From the questions in the first paragraph we can learn that the speaker __________.A.feels happy,thinking of how nice his friends were to himB.feels he may not have“read”his friends’true feelings correctlyC.thinks it was a mistake to have broken up with his girl friend,HelenD.is sorry that his friends let him down12.In the second paragraph,the author uses the example of“You’re a lucky dog”to show that__________.A.the speaker of this sentence is just being friendlyB.this saying means the same as“You’re a lucky guy”or“You’re a lucky gal”C.sometimes the words used by a speaker give a clue to the feeling behind the wordsD.the word“dog”shouldn’t be used to apply to people13.This passage tries to tell you how to __________.A.avoid mistakes about money and friendsB.bring the“dog”bit into our conversationC.avoid mistakes in understanding what people.tell youD.keep people friendly without trusting them14.In listening to a person,the important thing is __________.A.to notice his tone,his posture,and the look in his eyesB.to listen to how he pronounces his wordsC.to check his words against his manner,his tone of voice,and his postureD.not to believe what he says15.If you followed the advice of the writer,you would __________.A.be able to get the real meaning of what people say to youB.avoid and mistakes while talking with people who envy youC.not lose real friends who say things that do not please youD.be able to observe people as they are talking to youPassage 2Why was Bastille important to the citizens of Paris?The building of the Bastille had been started in 1370 under Charles V.By the seventeenth century it had stopped to be important for defense.Cardinal Richelieu turned it into a prison.It was not an ordinary prison to punish common crimes.Its huge doors closed only on enemies of the King.The Bastille’s workings were secret.Prisoners were taken to it in closed vehicles.Soldiers on guardduty had to stand with their faces to the wall.No talking was allowed.Worst of all,a prisoner never knew if he would be there a day,a week,a year,or forever.Only the King’s letter could set him free.Over the years the number of arrests by King’s letter had become fewer.By the time of its fall,most of the prisoners were writers who had written against the corruptions(贪污腐败)of the government.Voltaire,the famous French writer,spent a year there in 1717~1718,and another 12 days in 1726.For those who believed in free speech and free thinking,the Bastille stood for everything evil.The day it was captured,only seven prisoners were found inside.Still,the Bastille was hated by the people.It was a symbol of the King’s complete power.16.The Bastille had been a prison __________.A.since the time of Charles VB.since 1370C.before the seventeenth centuryD.since the time of Cardinal Richelieu17.According to the passage,which of the following statements is FALSE?A.Anyone who did something wrong could find himself suddenly in the Bastille.B.The Bastille was only for those who were opposed to the King.C.Things done in the Bastille were hardly known to people outside.D.Voltaire was twice put in the Bastille.18.At the time of its fall,the Bastille housed __________.`A.a large number of prisonersB.a lot of writers who had been against the governmentC.some dozens of people who believed in free speech and free thinkingD.only a few prisoners19.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A.All prisoners in the Bastille had to stay there for life.B.Over the years the number of prisoners in the Bastille was getting more and more.C.The King could put people in,or let them go out,as he wanted.D.At the time it was captured,there were so few prisoners in it that it meant little to the people.20.This passage mainly __________.A.tells how the prisoners were controlled by the KingB.tells how little was known about the BastilleC.shows the inner workings of the BastilleD.gives a brief history of the BastillePassage 3Almost every family buys as least one copy of a newspaper every day.Some people subscribe to as many as two or three different newspapers.But why do people read newspapers?Five hundred years ago,news of important happenings–battles lost and won,kings or rulers overthrown(推翻)or killed–took months and even years to travel from one country to another.The news passed by word of mouth and was never accurate.Today we can read in our newspapers of important events that occur in far away countries on the same day they happen.Apart from supplying news from all over the world,newspapers give us a lot of other useful information.There are weather reports,radio,television and film guides,book reviews,stories,and of course,advertisements.The bigger ones are put in by large companies to bring attention to their products.They pay the newspapers thousands of dollars for the advertising space,but it is worth the money for news of their products goes into almost every home in country.For those who produce newspapers,advertisements are also very important.Money earned from advertisements makes it possible for them to sell their newspapers at a low price and still make a profit.21.The phrase“subscribe to”in the first paragraph means“__________”.A.go to the newspaper stand and buyB.send their own news stories toC.agree to buy for a specific period of timeD.become faithful readers of22.The habit of reading newspapers is __________.A.widespreadB.found among a few familiesC.not popularD.uncommon23.Before the time of the newspaper,__________.A.bad news traveled quickly and good news slowlyB.few people cared about events that took place in far away countriesC.kings and rulers were often overthrown or killedD.news was passed from one person to another24.The author seems to agree that money spent on advertisements is __________.A.wastedB.not muchC.well spentD.of no use to anyone25.Which of the following statements is TRUE?A.Five hundred years ago it took a long time for news to reach other countries.B.Newspaper advertisements turn people’s attention away from their products.C.The news that we read in newspapers is mainly about new products.E.When newspapers are sold at a low price,the newspaper producers will lose money.Passage 4A 15-year-old boy,who was first found guilty of theft at the age of 12,was convicted of stealing 22 charity boxes yesterday from local shops.He was arrested while he was dressed as a woman,and he was pretending to be a representative of the Charity Help Aids.The boy had been arrested 80 times before,and neighbours say that he had committed over,1,000 offences.One local person said,“He’s always in court.We’ve had enough of him.”He had been sent to a young people’s prison on two occasions and had been convicted eight times—for burglary,robbery and criminal damage.At the trial the jury heard evidence from the shop owners.One of them had finally called the police because of what he had said after his mobile phone rang.He had answered the call and had started swearing.“It was only at that point,”the shop owner said,“That I realized it was not the usual lady who collects the boxes.”After the verdict,his mother,who had given evidence in the case,said that she was unable to control her son.The judge told the court that the problems of the family could be due to the absence of a father.The judge will sentence the boy next Tuesday.Questions

For questions 8-10,complete the sentences with the information given in the passage.Will We Run Out of Water?Picture a “ghost ship” sinking into the sand, left to rot on dry land by a receding sea. Then imagine dust storms sweeping up toxic pesticides and chemical fertilizers from the dry seabed and spewing them across towns and villages.Seem like a scene from a movie about the end of the world? For people living near the Aral Sea in Central Asia, it’s all too real. Thirty years ago, government planners diverted the rivers that flow into the sea in order to irrigate(provide water for)farmland. As a result, the sea has shrunk to half its original size, stranding ships on dry land. The seawater has tripled in salt content and become polluted, killing all 24 native species of fish.Similar large-scale efforts to redirect water in other parts of the world have also ended in ecological crisis, according to numerous environmental groups. But many countries continue to build massive dams and irrigation systems, even though such projects can create more problems than they fix. Why? People in many parts of the world are desperate for water, and more people will need more water in the nextcentury.“Growing populations will worsen problems with water,” says Peter H. Gleick, an environmental scientist at the Pacific Institute for studies in Development, Environment, and Security, a research organization in California. Hefears that by the year 2025, as many as one third of the world’s projected 8.3 billion people will suffer from water shortages.Where Water GoesOnly 2.5 percent of all water on Earth is freshwater, water suitable for drinking and growing food, says Sandra Postel, director of the Global Water Policy Project in Amherst, Mass. Two-thirds of this freshwater is locked in glaciers and ice caps.In fact, only a tiny percentage of freshwater is part of the water cycle, in which water evaporates and rises into the atmosphere, then condenses and falls back to Earth as precipitation(rain or snow).Some precipitation runs off land to lakes and oceans, and some becomes groundwater, water that seeps into the earth. Much of this renewable freshwater ends up in remote places like the Amazon river basin in Brazil, where few people live.In fact, the world’s population has access to only 12,500 cubic kilometers of freshwater—about the amount of water in Lake Superior. And people use half of this amount already. “If water demand continues to climb rapidly,” says Postel, “t here will be severe shortages and damage to the aquatic environment.”Close to HomeWater woes may seem remote to people living in rich countries like the United States. But Americans could face serious water shortages, too especially in areas that rely on groundwater. Groundwater accumulates in aquifers, layers of sand and gravel that lie between soil and bedrock. (For every liter of surface water, more than 90 liters are hidden underground.)Although the United States has large aquifers, farmers, ranchers, and cities are tapping many of them for water faster than nature can replenish it. In northwest Texas, for example, over pumping has shrunk groundwater supplies by 25 percent, according to Postel.Americans may face even more urgent problems from pollution. Drinking water in the United States is generally safe and meets high standards. Nevertheless, one in five Americans every day unknowingly drinks tap water contaminated with bacteria and chemical wastes, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. In Milwaukee, 400,000 people fell ill in 1993 after drinking tap water tainted with cryptosporidium, a microbe that causes fever, diarrhea and vomiting.The SourceWhere do contaminants come from? In developing countries, people dump raw sewage into the same streams and rivers from which they draw water for drinking and cooking; about 250 millionpeople a year get sick from water borne diseases.In developed countries, manufacturers use 100,000 chemical compounds to make a wide range of products. Toxic chemicals pollute water when released untreated into rivers and lakes. (Certain compounds, such as polychlorinated biphenyls, or PCBs, have been banned in the United States.)But almost everyone contributes to water pollution. People often pour household cleaners, car antifreeze, and paint thinners down the drain; all of these contain hazardous chemicals. Scientists studying water in the San Francisco Bay reported in 1996 that 70 percent of the pollutants could be traced to household waste.Farmers have been criticized for overusing herbicides and pesticides, chemicals that kill weeds and insects but that pollute water as well. Farmers also use nitrates, nitrogen-rich fertilizer that help plants grow but that can wreak havoc on the environment. Nitrates are swept away by surface runoff to lakes and seas. Too many nitrates “over enrich” these bodies of water, encouraging the buildup of algae, or microscopic plants that live on the surface of the water. Algae deprive the water of oxygen that fish need to survive, at times choking off life in an entire body of water.What’s the Solution?Water expert Gleick advocates conservation and local solutions to water-related problems; governments, for instance, would be better off building small-scale dams rather than huge and disruptive projects like the one that ruined the Aral Sea. “More than 1 billion people worldwide don’t have access to basic clean drinking water,” says Gleick. “There has to be a strong push on the part of everyone—governments and ordinary people—to make sure we have a resource so fundamental to life.”1.What caused the Aral Sea to shrink?［A］The rivers flowing into it have been diverted.［B］Farmers used its water to irrigate their farmland.［C］Government planners over-pumped its water.［D］High temperature made its water badly evaporate.2.The construction of massive dams and irrigation projects .［A］does more good than harm［B］solves more problems than what they created［C］does more harm than good［D］brings more water to people than expected3.The chief causes of water shortage include .［A］population growth and water waste［B］water pollution and dry weather［C］water waste and pollution［D］population growth and water pollution4.Americans could suffer from greatly serious water shortages?［A］living in rich areas［B］living in big cities but poor condition［C］depending on groundwater［D］bearing high standards of safe drinking water in mind5.What is the main pollutant in developed countries?［A］Untreated toxic chemicals from manufacturers.［B］Raw sewage into rivers and streams.［C］Herbicides and pesticides used by farmers.［D］Household cleaners poured down the drain.6.How does algae make threats to life of a body of water?［A］By covering the whole surface of the water.［B］By competitively using oxygen life in water needs.［C］By living more rapidly than other life in water .［D］By releasing hazardous chemicals into water.7.According to Gleick, who should be responsible for solving water-related problems?［A］government and housewives.［B］farmers and manufacturers.［C］ordinary people and manufacturers.［D］government and every person.8. According to Peter H. Gleick, by the year 2025, as many as of the world’s people will suffer from water shortages.9.Two thirds of the freshwater on Earth is locked in.10.In developed countries, before toxic chemicals are released into rivers and lakes, they should be treated in order to avoid.Part III Listening Comprehension(35 minutes)Section ADirections: In this section, you will hear 8 short conversations and 2 long conversations.

Early in the 1900s most American towns and cities had a Main Street. Main Street was always the 47 of a town. This street was lined on the both sides with many48 businesses. Here, shoppers walked into stores to look at all sorts of merchandise: clothing, furniture, hardware, groceries. In addition, some shops offered49 . There shops included drugstores, restaurants, shoe repair stores, and barber or hairdressing shops. But in the 1950s, a change began to50 place. Too many automobiles had crowded into Main Street while too few parking placeswere51 to shoppers. Because the streets were crowded, merchants began to look with interest at the open spaces outside the city limits. Open space is what their car drivingcustomers52 . And open space is what they got when the first shopping centre was built. Shopping centers, or rather malls,53 as a collection of small new stores away from crowded city centers. Attracted by hundreds of free parking space, customers were drawn away from 54areas to outlying malls. And the growing55of shopping centers led in turn to the building of bigger and better stocked stores. By the late 1970s, many shopping malls had almost developed into small cities themselves. In addition to providing the 56 of the stop shopping, malls were transformed into landscaped parks, with benches, fountains, and outdoor entertainment.［A］designed ［F］convenience ［K］cosmetics［B］take ［G］services ［L］started［C］heart ［H］fame ［M］downtown［D］needed ［I］various ［N］available ［C］though ［H］popularity ［M］cheapnessSection BDirections: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked ［A］, ［B］, ［C］and ［D］.You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.Culture is one of the most challenging elements of the international marketplace. This system of learned behavior patterns characteristic of the members of a given society is constantly shaped by a set of dynamic variables: language, religion, values and attitudes, manners and customs, aesthetics, technology, education, and social institutions. To cope with this system, an international manager needs both factual and interpretive knowledge of culture. To some extent, the factual knowledge can be learned; its interpretation comes only through experience.The most complicated problems in dealing with the cultural environment stem from the fact that one cannot learn culture—one has to live it. Two schools of thought exist in the business world on how to deal with cultural diversity. One is that business is business the world around, following the model of Pepsi and McDonald’s. In some cases, globalizationis a fact of life; however, cultural differences are still far from converging.The other school proposes that companies must tailor business approaches to individual cultures. Setting up policies and procedures in each country has been compared to an organ transplant; the critical question centers around acceptanceor rejection. The major challenge to the international manager is to make sure that rejection is not a result of cultural myopia or even blindness. Fortune examined the international performance of a dozen large companies that earn 20 percent or more of their revenue overseas. The internationally successful companies all share an important quality: patience. They have not rushed into situations but rather built their operations carefully by following the most basic business principles. These principles are to know your adversary, know your audience, and know your customer.57.According to the passage, which of the following is true?［A］All international managers can learn culture.［B］Business diversity is not necessary.［C］Views differ on how to treat culture in business world.［D］Most people do not know foreign culture well.58.According to the author, the model of Pepsi.［A］is in line with the theories that the business is business the world around ［B］is different from the model of McDonald’s［C］shows the reverse of globalization［D］has converged cultural differences59.The two schools of thought.［A］both propose that companies should tailor business approaches to individual cultures［B］both advocate that different policies be set up in different countries ［C］admit the existence of cultural diversity in business world［D］both A and B60.This article is supposed to be most useful for those.［A］who are interested in researching the topic of cultural diversity［B］who have connections to more than one type of culture［C］who want to travel abroad［D］who want to run business on International Scale61.According to Fortune, successful international companies.［A］earn 20 percent or more of their revenue overseas［B］all have the quality of patience［C］will follow the overseas local cultures［D］adopt the policy of internationalizationPassage TwoQuestions 62 to 66 are based on the following passage.There are people in Italy who can’t stand soccer. Not all Canadians love hockey. A similar situation exists in America, where there are those individuals you may be one of them who yawn or even frown when somebody mentions baseball. Baseball to them means boring hours watching grown men in funny tight outfits standing around in a field staring away while very little of anything happens. They tell you it’s a game better suited to the 19th century, slow, quiet, and gentlemanly. These are the same people you may be one of them who love football because there’s the sport that glorifies “the hit”.By contrast, baseball seems abstract, cool, silent, still. On TV the game is fractured into a dozen perspectives, replays, close-ups. The geometry of the game, however, is essential to understanding it. You will contemplate the game from one point as a painter does his subject; you may, of course, project yourself into the game. It is in this projection that the game affords so much space and time for involvement. The TV won’t do it for you.Take, for example, the third baseman. You sit behind the third base dugout and you watch him watching home plate. His legs are apart, knees flexed. His arms hang loose. He does a lot of this. The skeptic still cannot think of any other sports so still, so passive. But watch what happens every time the pitcher throws: the third baseman goes up on his toes, flexes his arms or brings the glove to a point in front of him, takes a step right or left, backward or forward, perhaps he glances across the field to check his first baseman’s position. Suppose the pitch is a ball. “Nothing happened,” you say. “I could have had my eyes closed.”The skeptic and the innocent must play the game. And this involvement in the stands is no more intellectual than listening to music is. Watch the third baseman. Smooth the dirt in front of you with one foot; smooth the pocket in your glove; watch the eyes of the batter, the speedof the bat, the sound of horsehide on wood. If football is a symphony of movement and theatre, baseball is chamber music, a spacious interlocking of notes, chorus and responses.62.The passage is mainly concerned with .［A］the different tastes of people for sports［B］the different characteristics of sports［C］the attraction of football［D］the attraction of baseball63.Those who don’t like baseball may complain that. ［A］it is only to the taste of the old［B］it involves fewer players than football［C］it is not exciting enough［D］it is pretentious and looks funny64.The author admits that.［A］baseball is too peaceful for the young［B］baseball may seem boring when watched on TV［C］football is more attracting than baseball［D］baseball is more interesting than football65.By stating “I could have had my eyes closed.” the author means (4th paragraph last sentence).［A］the third baseman would rather sleep than play the game［B］even if the third baseman closed his eyes a moment ago, it could make no difference to the result［C］the third baseman is so good at baseball that he could finish the game with eyes closed all the time and do his work well［D］the consequence was so bad that he could not bear to see it66.We can safely conclude that the author.［A］likes football［B］hates football［C］hates baseball［D］likes baseballPart Ⅴ Cloze (15 minutes)Directions: There are 20 blanks in the following passage. For each blank there are four choices marked ［A］, ［B］, ［C］and ［D］on the right side of the paper. You should choose the ONE that best fits into the passage. Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.Who won the WorldCup 1994 football game? What happened at the United Nations? How did the critics like the new play?67 an event takes place, newspapers are on the streets68 the details. Wherever anything happens in the world, reports are on the spot to69 the news. Newspapers have one basic70 , to get the news as quickly as possible from its source, from those who make it to those who want to71 it. Radio, telegraph, television, and 72inventions brought competition for newspapers. So did the development of magazines and other means of communication.73 , this competition merely spurred the newspapers on. They quickly made use of the newer and faster means of communication to improve the74and thus the efficiency of their own operations.Today more newspapers are75 and read than ever before. Competition also led newspapers to branch out to many other fields. Besides keeping readers76 of the latest news, today’s newspapers77 and influence readers about politics and othe r important and serious matters. Newspapers influence readers’economic choices78 advertising. Most newspapers depend on advertising for their very79 .

Circulation depends84on the work of the circulation department and on the services or entertainment85 in a newspaper’s pages.

As a school pupil, I used to play it with my classmates after school everyday. Now as a college student, I still play it whenever I can find time though I am busy with my studies. Furthermore, I never miss any important match shown on TV. Sometimes, I get up even at mid-night in order to watch an. international game.Playing games requires both a good physical body and real skills. To begin with, to play football well, you should be very strong and have a lot of muscles. Then you should be skillful in tackling the ball, bringing it along, passing it to and catching it from others and, above all, scoring a goal. In short, it is physical strength and skill that make a good football player.Playing games brings me many benefits. First, it can train my mind and teach me to think quickly. Second, by playing football, I learn to persevere when faced with difficulties. However, the most important benefit of all is that playing football can cultivate my spirit of teamwork. For all these reasons, I enjoy playing football very much.Part ⅡError Correction2、up→about3、come ∧the→when4、arrive→arrives5、sciences ∧which→on6、helps→helping7、has→have8、wait→await9、or ∧measure→to 10、so→yet 11、new→newlyPart ⅢTranslation12、appeal to children 13、feel like traveling in the summer vocation 14、in case they'll be frightened 15、have her dress altered 16、I had an intuition。

We all have to learn how to stop wasting our limited water. One of the steps we should take is to find ways of reusing it. Experiments have already been done in this field.Today in most large cities, fresh water is used only once, and then it runs into waste system. But it is possible to pipe the used water to a purifying factory. There it can be filtered and treated with chemicals so that it can be used again, just as it were fresh from a spring.But even if every large city purified and reused its water, we still would not have enough. Then we could turn to the oceans. All we'd have to do to make use of the seawater on earth is to get rid of the salt. This process is called desalinization, and it is already in practice in many parts of the world.31.

Reading Comprehension请选择题型Vocabulary Dialogues Close Test Reading TranslationQuestions 36~40 are based on the Passage 2.Passage 2Have you ever noticed advertisements which say “Learn a foreign language in six weeks, or your money back! From the first day your pronunciation will be excellent. Just send…”and so on? Of course, it never happens quite like that. The only language that is easy to learn is the mother tongue. Think how much practice that gets! Before the Second World War people usually learnt a foreign language in order to read the literature of the country. Now speaking a foreign language is what most people want. Every year many millions of people start learning one.Some people try at home, with books and records or tapes; some use radio or television programmes; others go to evening classes. If they use the language only twice or three times a week, learning it will take a long time. A few people try to learn a language fast by studying for six or more hours a day. It is clearly easier to learn the language in the country where it is spoken. However, most people cannot afford this, and for many it is not necessary. They need the language in order to do their work better. For example, scientists and doctors chiefly need to be able to read books and reports in the foreign language. Whether the language is learnt quickly or slowly, it is hard work. Machines and good books will help, but they cannot do the student's work for him.36.
